Jack Tame with you through to midday today. 8 00:00:49,613 --> 00:00:53,013 Speaker 3: I am coming to you live from the coolest little capital. 9 00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,973 Speaker 3: I'm in Wellington this weekend with the in laws as 10 00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:59,133 Speaker 3: we celebrate the Iranian New Year. Nor Ruse. So, I 11 00:00:59,933 --> 00:01:03,733 Speaker 3: caught an uber into the studio this morning, and I'll 12 00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:06,053 Speaker 3: tell you what. Talk about doing it tough, the search 13 00:01:06,093 --> 00:01:08,093 Speaker 3: hard that uber is going to be charging because of 14 00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:11,213 Speaker 3: the petrol prices hasn't yet come into effect. My goodness, 15 00:01:11,293 --> 00:01:14,293 Speaker 3: I just cannot understand how it's economic for so many 16 00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:17,573 Speaker 3: people who rely on fuel prices to make a living 17 00:01:17,613 --> 00:01:19,693 Speaker 3: at the moment, and rely on fuel prices not being 18 00:01:19,693 --> 00:01:23,493 Speaker 3: as high as they are right now. But anyway, yeah, 19 00:01:23,653 --> 00:01:28,133 Speaker 3: it's not looking like things are gonna tidy themselves up 20 00:01:28,133 --> 00:01:30,333 Speaker 3: in that department anytime soon. We could be in for 21 00:01:30,373 --> 00:01:32,853 Speaker 3: the long haul right here now. But fourteen o'clock on 22 00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:34,373 Speaker 3: used talk to he'd be We've got your film picture 23 00:01:34,453 --> 00:01:38,653 Speaker 3: this week, including two starring apparently Dishy leading men Ryan 24 00:01:38,693 --> 00:01:41,733 Speaker 3: Gosling Alexander Sasgard both have brand new films out, so 25 00:01:41,773 --> 00:01:43,653 Speaker 3: I'm going to give you the details on those. And 26 00:01:43,693 --> 00:01:45,373 Speaker 3: I've got to be honest. I was a little bit 27 00:01:45,493 --> 00:01:49,533 Speaker 3: panicked when our cook sent through her recipe for this weekend. 28 00:01:49,533 --> 00:01:51,733 Speaker 3: This is the one that we share with you every weekend. 29 00:01:51,813 --> 00:01:55,133 Speaker 3: Just before the Santa clock news, she sent through what 30 00:01:55,253 --> 00:01:58,893 Speaker 3: I thought was an apple and kale burger and I 31 00:01:58,973 --> 00:02:03,653 Speaker 3: was like, Ah, I'm not sure there's gonna fly. And 32 00:02:03,693 --> 00:02:05,893 Speaker 3: then I took a closer look. It's a pork apple 33 00:02:05,973 --> 00:02:09,133 Speaker 3: and kg. Big difference, big difference. So I'm really looking 34 00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:12,053 Speaker 3: forward to sharing that with you and after ten o'clock 35 00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:14,333 Speaker 3: this morning, this is a real treat for us. All 36 00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:16,773 Speaker 3: of that pork apple kale burger isn't enough to wheat 37 00:02:16,773 --> 00:02:21,333 Speaker 3: your appetite. Key we legend Dame Linley Dodd is going 38 00:02:21,373 --> 00:02:23,133 Speaker 3: to be with us right after the ten o'clock news. 39 00:02:23,173 --> 00:02:25,533 Speaker 3: She was acknowledged this week at the New Zealander of 40 00:02:25,573 --> 00:02:30,493 Speaker 3: the Year Awards, and I reckon must be among our 41 00:02:30,613 --> 00:02:34,733 Speaker 3: single highest selling and certainly most celebrated authors ever, so 42 00:02:34,853 --> 00:02:36,933 Speaker 3: Dame Linley Dodd with us after the ten o'clock news. 43 00:02:37,013 --> 00:02:41,293 Speaker 3: Right now, it's nine minutes past nine, Jack dam This 44 00:02:41,653 --> 00:02:45,213 Speaker 3: is the age of the individual, right, It's the age 45 00:02:45,213 --> 00:02:48,293 Speaker 3: of the self. It's generation Me Me, Me, Me Me, 46 00:02:48,573 --> 00:02:52,813 Speaker 3: an age in which each of us is encouraged by 47 00:02:52,813 --> 00:02:57,453 Speaker 3: a heady mix of technological trends and cultural pressures to 48 00:02:57,493 --> 00:03:02,253 Speaker 3: think of ourselves as unique and special, to treat ourselves 49 00:03:03,093 --> 00:03:08,133 Speaker 3: as a brand. And in a world where every person 50 00:03:08,253 --> 00:03:12,613 Speaker 3: slash brand is competing with everyone else, fame and celebrity 51 00:03:13,413 --> 00:03:16,293 Speaker 3: are often used as a bit of a proxy. It 52 00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:19,893 Speaker 3: is a bit of a measure of status. It's as 53 00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:23,453 Speaker 3: though Banks he saw it coming when he and let's 54 00:03:23,493 --> 00:03:25,653 Speaker 3: just for the sake of this morning, let's assume that 55 00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:28,253 Speaker 3: he's a he. Banks, he's a he. When he first 56 00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,973 Speaker 3: started making his subversive street art in the nineteen nineties, 57 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:34,973 Speaker 3: he decided to make it anonymously. Now I can't say 58 00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:37,293 Speaker 3: for sure why he made that decision, given he was 59 00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:43,413 Speaker 3: graffitiing public places. I presume the original decision might have 60 00:03:43,493 --> 00:03:45,573 Speaker 3: been made for the obvious legal reason to try and 61 00:03:45,613 --> 00:03:49,413 Speaker 3: avoid trouble with the police. But as he's grown into 62 00:03:49,493 --> 00:03:51,653 Speaker 3: one of the biggest artists on the planet, with works 63 00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:55,973 Speaker 3: selling now for tens of millions of dollars. At some point, 64 00:03:56,173 --> 00:04:01,213 Speaker 3: Banks he chose something much greater. In assuing the fame 65 00:04:01,293 --> 00:04:04,933 Speaker 3: and individual recognition. He was pulling a middle finger at 66 00:04:04,933 --> 00:04:09,693 Speaker 3: one of the defining phenomena of the modern age. It's 67 00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:12,333 Speaker 3: not often you will hear me winging about a piece 68 00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:18,333 Speaker 3: of investigative journalism, but Reuter's published an exhaustive investigation this week, 69 00:04:18,413 --> 00:04:24,933 Speaker 3: eight thousand words, which many believe has proved Banksy's identity 70 00:04:25,213 --> 00:04:29,853 Speaker 3: once and for all. They've named him, and look, maybe 71 00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:32,853 Speaker 3: it does prove his identity. But though it was certainly 72 00:04:32,933 --> 00:04:37,173 Speaker 3: a huge journalistic effort on this occasion, I for one, 73 00:04:38,053 --> 00:04:42,453 Speaker 3: just don't want to know the truth. It's not that 74 00:04:42,493 --> 00:04:46,613 Speaker 3: I'm not a little bit curious. Hey, I love his work. 75 00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:49,853 Speaker 3: It's probably not very cool to say that these days. 76 00:04:49,893 --> 00:04:52,773 Speaker 3: I mean banks He's not exactly subtle, and when it 77 00:04:52,773 --> 00:04:56,493 Speaker 3: comes to mainstream appeal, he's probably even giving Ed Sheeran 78 00:04:56,533 --> 00:04:58,813 Speaker 3: a run for his money these days. But Banks's funny, 79 00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:03,733 Speaker 3: he's clever, he's political, and whether stenciling kissing coppers or 80 00:05:03,773 --> 00:05:06,533 Speaker 3: a rioter hurling a bunch of flowers and stuf of 81 00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:11,053 Speaker 3: a Molotov cocktail, he inverts our world he's anarchic. Much 82 00:05:11,053 --> 00:05:15,413 Speaker 3: of Banks's work questions authority and oppression. Much of it 83 00:05:15,533 --> 00:05:19,053 Speaker 3: pokes fun at powerful people and powerful institutions. But among 84 00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:22,733 Speaker 3: his many works, some of the very best questioned all 85 00:05:22,773 --> 00:05:27,333 Speaker 3: of us and what we value. When I lived in 86 00:05:27,413 --> 00:05:30,053 Speaker 3: New York, banks he set up a little street store 87 00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:33,573 Speaker 3: down the road from my apartment and spent a day 88 00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:38,693 Speaker 3: hawking his works. Almost everyone assumed they were fakes, right, 89 00:05:39,253 --> 00:05:41,933 Speaker 3: And it was only once he published a video the 90 00:05:41,973 --> 00:05:46,493 Speaker 3: next day revealing the ruse, that thousands of visitors to 91 00:05:46,573 --> 00:05:49,653 Speaker 3: the Guggenheim Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art realized 92 00:05:49,653 --> 00:05:52,333 Speaker 3: that actually they had just walked by an opportunity to 93 00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:56,693 Speaker 3: buy artworks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for less 94 00:05:56,693 --> 00:06:00,213 Speaker 3: than a hundred bucks. And one of those truly epic 95 00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:05,333 Speaker 3: moments of national pride, a woman from Taranaki realized they 96 00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:08,933 Speaker 3: were legit and ended up buying two. She was one 97 00:06:09,013 --> 00:06:11,413 Speaker 3: of only a handful of people who managed to buy 98 00:06:11,453 --> 00:06:15,253 Speaker 3: them that day. Perhaps an even better example of Banksy 99 00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:18,853 Speaker 3: challenging what we value was his work Lover Is in 100 00:06:18,893 --> 00:06:21,373 Speaker 3: the Bin, that incredible work that, having sold for a 101 00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:26,493 Speaker 3: million pounds at a glitzy Southereby's bash promptly shredded before 102 00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:33,333 Speaker 3: the audience of stunned auction goers. So who's the real Banksy? Well, 103 00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:35,253 Speaker 3: if you really want to know, it doesn't take much 104 00:06:35,413 --> 00:06:39,453 Speaker 3: to bring up the Reuter's investigation. But unless Banks is 105 00:06:39,493 --> 00:06:42,893 Speaker 3: revealed to be Elvis, Serena Williams or King Charles himself, 106 00:06:43,013 --> 00:06:47,173 Speaker 3: I for one, honestly just prefer not to know. After all, 107 00:06:47,173 --> 00:06:51,733 Speaker 3: what's more interesting a fifty something year old bloke from Bristol, 108 00:06:52,613 --> 00:06:56,493 Speaker 3: or arguably the best known living artist on the planet, 109 00:06:56,973 --> 00:07:03,053 Speaker 3: walking among us, unrecognized, unbothered, unharrassed, unphotographed, with a stencil 110 00:07:03,253 --> 00:07:05,493 Speaker 3: and a spray can in his backpack looking for his 111 00:07:05,573 --> 00:07:11,733 Speaker 3: next war. It's funny a we fetishize celebrity, we idolize fame, 112 00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:18,213 Speaker 3: but choosing to stay anonymous is maybe Banks's single greatest work. 113 00:07:18,933 --> 00:07:21,893 Speaker 3: Jack Team ninety two. Ninety two is our text number. 114 00:07:21,893 --> 00:07:23,453 Speaker 3: If you want to send us a message this morning, 115 00:07:23,493 --> 00:07:26,453 Speaker 3: I would be delighted to hear from you.

This is news Talk ZEDB. 126 00:07:55,013 --> 00:07:57,973 Speaker 1: No better way to kick off your weekend than with 127 00:07:58,413 --> 00:08:02,533 Speaker 1: Jacks Saturday Morning with Jack Team News Talks B. 128 00:08:04,053 --> 00:08:06,933 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your feedback. Jack being anonymous 129 00:08:06,933 --> 00:08:09,853 Speaker 3: allows Banksy to provide political commentary through his art that 130 00:08:09,893 --> 00:08:12,893 Speaker 3: many of us believe that our political representatives are too 131 00:08:12,933 --> 00:08:15,013 Speaker 3: afraid to say. Phil has sent me a note to 132 00:08:15,053 --> 00:08:18,453 Speaker 3: say Jack, I not only walked past the stall selling 133 00:08:18,533 --> 00:08:22,133 Speaker 3: Banksy paintings in New York, but I also berated the 134 00:08:22,173 --> 00:08:24,373 Speaker 3: old guy selling them and suggested he gets some paint 135 00:08:24,373 --> 00:08:26,973 Speaker 3: a brush and paint his own art instead of someone else. 136 00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:35,573 Speaker 3: Off Phil Ah, that's I mean, if that's truefil that 137 00:08:35,693 --> 00:08:39,453 Speaker 3: is devastating. That is devastating because the thing was it 138 00:08:39,533 --> 00:08:42,413 Speaker 3: was during a banks he was doing an artist's residency 139 00:08:42,453 --> 00:08:44,733 Speaker 3: in New York at the time, so there was a 140 00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,773 Speaker 3: bit of hype because every day he would do kind 141 00:08:46,773 --> 00:08:48,213 Speaker 3: of a new work or a new work would be 142 00:08:48,293 --> 00:08:52,493 Speaker 3: revealed around the city. And apparently the works that he 143 00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:55,733 Speaker 3: was selling had little barcodes on them, so you could 144 00:08:56,013 --> 00:08:59,253 Speaker 3: ultimately authenticate them on once you'd purchase them. But of course, 145 00:08:59,693 --> 00:09:02,813 Speaker 3: you know, you see those images everywhere, don't you. Replicated 146 00:09:02,973 --> 00:09:05,693 Speaker 3: and bootleg stores are on T shirts however many millions 147 00:09:05,693 --> 00:09:08,293 Speaker 3: of times over and you don't really think about it. 148 00:09:08,293 --> 00:09:10,093 Speaker 3: You don't think, oh, this could be the real thing, 149 00:09:10,693 --> 00:09:14,613 Speaker 3: which is the perfect example of him challenging what we value. 150 00:09:14,773 --> 00:09:18,253 Speaker 3: Why is a bootleg version of a Banksy print worth 151 00:09:18,333 --> 00:09:21,973 Speaker 3: so much less than the real deal? Jack. Everyone also 152 00:09:22,013 --> 00:09:24,293 Speaker 3: wanted to know who the Stig from top Gear was 153 00:09:24,453 --> 00:09:26,733 Speaker 3: as well, and that ended up remaining a secret until 154 00:09:26,773 --> 00:09:28,933 Speaker 3: the show ended. They did, of course do that reveal 155 00:09:28,973 --> 00:09:30,933 Speaker 3: with Michael Schumacher under the helmet, but that was just 156 00:09:30,973 --> 00:09:32,333 Speaker 3: employed to get him on the show. Yeah, that was 157 00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:34,253 Speaker 3: actually a great That was a great moment. There are 158 00:09:34,253 --> 00:09:36,413 Speaker 3: a few examples, I think with secrecy, so I was 159 00:09:36,693 --> 00:09:38,733 Speaker 3: thinking about it, you have none of them. I think 160 00:09:38,773 --> 00:09:41,093 Speaker 3: is quite as good as Banksy but you had the 161 00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:46,693 Speaker 3: American author Thomas Pinchin. Is it that Italian author as well? 162 00:09:46,773 --> 00:09:51,613 Speaker 3: Is it? Is it Elaine or Alan or Ferranti? Daft 163 00:09:51,693 --> 00:09:55,413 Speaker 3: punk whom? I love the French musicians. I mean we 164 00:09:55,493 --> 00:09:59,013 Speaker 3: know their identities, but they always wear helmets and is 165 00:09:59,093 --> 00:10:02,773 Speaker 3: never really photographed without them. I mean, yeah, there are 166 00:10:02,853 --> 00:10:05,093 Speaker 3: examples I think of people trying to be secret.

Do you think if you were do you think, Kevin, 177 00:10:32,773 --> 00:10:35,213 Speaker 3: if you'd been in New York walking past the stall 178 00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:37,453 Speaker 3: with Banksy prints, that you would have thought they were 179 00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:39,053 Speaker 3: the real deal? Or would you have just assumed that 180 00:10:39,093 --> 00:10:40,053 Speaker 3: they were a bootleg version? 181 00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:44,933 Speaker 4: And I admire Pheel for coming out so honestly, Yeah. 182 00:10:44,493 --> 00:10:46,533 Speaker 3: So do I. I and my field were coming out 183 00:10:46,573 --> 00:10:50,693 Speaker 3: honestly and ful phil having the temerity to break the 184 00:10:51,573 --> 00:10:52,413 Speaker 3: break the person. 185 00:10:52,533 --> 00:10:53,733 Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, no. 186 00:10:53,813 --> 00:10:55,813 Speaker 4: I could see myself doing that too. As a matter 187 00:10:55,853 --> 00:10:58,453 Speaker 4: of fact, yeah, giving the guy a hard time. 188 00:10:59,453 --> 00:11:00,453 Speaker 6: Did you go near it? 189 00:11:00,933 --> 00:11:03,053 Speaker 3: No? No, I didn't see it. No, No, I didn't 190 00:11:03,093 --> 00:11:07,853 Speaker 3: see it. Thankfully, I think I think, honestly, if I'm 191 00:11:07,893 --> 00:11:11,053 Speaker 3: being one hundred percent honest, shamefully, I think I would 192 00:11:11,053 --> 00:11:12,933 Speaker 3: have just walked past and assumed that they were fake 193 00:11:13,013 --> 00:11:16,013 Speaker 3: as well. And you know, if I would like to 194 00:11:16,053 --> 00:11:19,093 Speaker 3: think they had the kind of the wherewithal and the 195 00:11:19,093 --> 00:11:21,933 Speaker 3: wits to work out what was going on and think, 196 00:11:22,013 --> 00:11:23,493 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I'm going to buy all of these, 197 00:11:23,493 --> 00:11:26,773 Speaker 3: But no, sadly that wasn't the case. But Kevin, you 198 00:11:26,773 --> 00:11:29,093 Speaker 3: want to talk about the influence that fathers can have 199 00:11:29,293 --> 00:11:30,013 Speaker 3: on their sons. 200 00:11:30,053 --> 00:11:33,093 Speaker 4: This morning, Yeah, it was my birthday during the week, Jack, 201 00:11:33,173 --> 00:11:37,213 Speaker 4: nothing special, seventy seven, but very much on my mind 202 00:11:37,413 --> 00:11:41,173 Speaker 4: was my father. My birthday has also the anniversary of him, 203 00:11:41,453 --> 00:11:45,653 Speaker 4: my dad's death. He died suddenly on my fifteenth birthday. 204 00:11:46,293 --> 00:11:50,253 Speaker 4: Something came to mind this birthday. I knew my father 205 00:11:50,413 --> 00:11:54,413 Speaker 4: for fifteen years, and I've now lived without him for 206 00:11:54,533 --> 00:11:59,933 Speaker 4: over four times that sixty years, yet he remains so close. 207 00:12:00,693 --> 00:12:04,773 Speaker 4: What a phenomenal bond there usually is between kids and 208 00:12:04,853 --> 00:12:07,253 Speaker 4: their parents. It's not like I saw an awful lot 209 00:12:07,253 --> 00:12:11,213 Speaker 4: of Dad. He was heavily involved in work and various organizations, 210 00:12:11,533 --> 00:12:13,733 Speaker 4: but that made the time I did spend with them 211 00:12:13,773 --> 00:12:16,733 Speaker 4: more precious, like when he got me to work with him, 212 00:12:17,493 --> 00:12:20,453 Speaker 4: when he took me to my first rugby matches at 213 00:12:20,533 --> 00:12:25,293 Speaker 4: Lancaster Park. I was an academic disaster at secondary school, 214 00:12:25,293 --> 00:12:28,813 Speaker 4: but Dad never lectured me. Over forty years later, when 215 00:12:28,813 --> 00:12:31,413 Speaker 4: I was made an officer of the New Zealand Order 216 00:12:31,453 --> 00:12:35,653 Speaker 4: of Merit, I had his photo in my pocket. I've 217 00:12:35,693 --> 00:12:38,493 Speaker 4: been thinking a lot about fathers and sons this week, 218 00:12:38,733 --> 00:12:43,493 Speaker 4: having watched Louis Therow's just release documentary about the online 219 00:12:43,573 --> 00:12:49,533 Speaker 4: world of ultra masculine influences. It's called Inside the Mano Sphere. 220 00:12:50,173 --> 00:12:55,653 Speaker 4: It explores the impact of truly awful influences like hs, Tinki, 221 00:12:55,773 --> 00:13:02,533 Speaker 4: Toki and Sneako on young men's views about masculinity, mail empowerment, 222 00:13:03,013 --> 00:13:06,373 Speaker 4: how to treat women. It's a hard watch at times 223 00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:10,853 Speaker 4: you'll want to turn off the TV, but I recommend it. 224 00:13:10,853 --> 00:13:14,853 Speaker 4: It's important we see what our kids are seeing. If 225 00:13:14,893 --> 00:13:17,333 Speaker 4: anything will convince you there needs to be some sort 226 00:13:17,373 --> 00:13:21,013 Speaker 4: of social media ban on young teens, which up to 227 00:13:21,093 --> 00:13:26,453 Speaker 4: now I've been against. It'll be this Netflix documentary Jack. 228 00:13:26,933 --> 00:13:30,213 Speaker 4: The best influencer any boy can have if he's lucky, 229 00:13:30,773 --> 00:13:34,613 Speaker 4: is surely his father, not some creep with money and 230 00:13:34,733 --> 00:13:36,533 Speaker 4: muscle from the Manisphere. 231 00:13:36,893 --> 00:13:37,093 Speaker 7: Yah. 232 00:13:37,653 --> 00:13:40,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched it this week as well, Kevin. After 233 00:13:41,533 --> 00:13:45,653 Speaker 3: Carl's recommendation in our screen time segment this time last Saturday, 234 00:13:45,773 --> 00:13:47,573 Speaker 3: I thought, I've really got to catch up with Louis 235 00:13:47,613 --> 00:13:51,253 Speaker 3: throu and check out his investigation into the Manisphere. I 236 00:13:51,253 --> 00:13:54,293 Speaker 3: mean it was kind of classic Luis throu and that 237 00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:58,853 Speaker 3: very gently allowing his subjects to reveal their true character. 238 00:13:59,293 --> 00:14:01,413 Speaker 3: And I don't think we're giving too much away. Perhaps 239 00:14:01,413 --> 00:14:05,093 Speaker 3: we are, but one of the sort of consistent things 240 00:14:05,093 --> 00:14:08,733 Speaker 3: that all of these and you're right, quite loathsome individuals, 241 00:14:10,093 --> 00:14:12,013 Speaker 3: at least they sort of presented themselves in quite a 242 00:14:12,053 --> 00:14:15,253 Speaker 3: loathsome way. And on one of the things they all 243 00:14:15,253 --> 00:14:18,253 Speaker 3: had in common is that that all come from homes 244 00:14:19,013 --> 00:14:22,893 Speaker 3: in pretty unhappy childhoods, right, and several of them didn't 245 00:14:22,933 --> 00:14:25,053 Speaker 3: have didn't have fathers on the scene and that kind 246 00:14:25,093 --> 00:14:27,693 Speaker 3: of thing at all in their lives or had you know, 247 00:14:27,813 --> 00:14:31,253 Speaker 3: quite abusive parents, and that it was the sort of 248 00:14:31,253 --> 00:14:33,773 Speaker 3: shed experience they had. So I thought that was really 249 00:14:33,933 --> 00:14:35,773 Speaker 3: really telling actually in very. 250 00:14:35,653 --> 00:14:40,133 Speaker 4: Sense, yes, worth having a look, I think, because you know, 251 00:14:40,253 --> 00:14:44,853 Speaker 4: we parents, particularly older guys like me, tend to just say, oh, well, 252 00:14:44,933 --> 00:14:46,693 Speaker 4: you know, this is all the rubbish that you get 253 00:14:46,733 --> 00:14:50,453 Speaker 4: online these days, but it's not rubbish in the sense 254 00:14:50,533 --> 00:14:56,693 Speaker 4: that it's extremely influential, like these guys are attracting huge numbers, 255 00:14:57,013 --> 00:15:02,093 Speaker 4: making fortunes out of a young man. And yeah, so 256 00:15:02,453 --> 00:15:04,573 Speaker 4: I think this were definitely worth seeing. 257 00:15:04,893 --> 00:15:07,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there is a challenging it too, like 258 00:15:07,613 --> 00:15:10,373 Speaker 3: you know, and watching it, I kept on thinking, you know, who, 259 00:15:11,093 --> 00:15:15,133 Speaker 3: how do I make sure my boys have good male 260 00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:17,333 Speaker 3: role models? You know that it feels like we're sort 261 00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:20,893 Speaker 3: of in an age where, especially for young men, there 262 00:15:20,973 --> 00:15:22,613 Speaker 3: is you know a lot of them are kind of 263 00:15:22,693 --> 00:15:26,573 Speaker 3: questioning their place and actually providing them with really really 264 00:15:26,573 --> 00:15:28,973 Speaker 3: good role models and showing them what good masculinity is 265 00:15:29,013 --> 00:15:31,053 Speaker 3: I think is really important as well. Hey, thank you, Kevin, 266 00:15:31,133 --> 00:15:33,653 Speaker 3: absolutely have a great weekend and we will catch you 267 00:15:33,693 --> 00:15:35,973 Speaker 3: again very soon. Kevin Meln with us this morning. Jack, 268 00:15:36,013 --> 00:15:38,333 Speaker 3: what if there's more than one Banksy, anyone can make 269 00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:40,973 Speaker 3: a stencil, says Garth. Totally true, Garth. I think there 270 00:15:41,053 --> 00:15:44,733 Speaker 3: is this like that you can kind of recognize as humor, 271 00:15:44,773 --> 00:15:47,333 Speaker 3: though you can kind of you can just there's something 272 00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:50,253 Speaker 3: about his work that you can recognize. But I'm sure 273 00:15:50,733 --> 00:15:55,013 Speaker 3: that Banksy himself isn't the only one who's been stenciling walls. 274 00:15:55,093 --> 00:15:58,333 Speaker 3: I suspect that Banksy's got a few staff members who've 275 00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:01,973 Speaker 3: probably signed very complex NDAs. Phil has texted back to 276 00:16:01,973 --> 00:16:04,213 Speaker 3: say it's true. Yeah, I promise I walk right past 277 00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,933 Speaker 3: that stall with the banks He prints in New York. 278 00:16:07,173 --> 00:16:10,333 Speaker 3: I wore out two pairs of shoes just from kicking myself, 279 00:16:10,613 --> 00:16:11,973 Speaker 3: and Dean has sent me a note to say, I'm 280 00:16:12,053 --> 00:16:15,413 Speaker 3: vainly trying to remember the last great living artist. I 281 00:16:15,453 --> 00:16:18,653 Speaker 3: suspect it was Salvador Daly. Vision and technique you couldn't 282 00:16:18,693 --> 00:16:21,253 Speaker 3: get out of a spray can. Banksy is no doubt 283 00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:23,533 Speaker 3: a wonderful piece of marketing, but I doubt in fifty 284 00:16:23,613 --> 00:16:26,173 Speaker 3: years anyone will remember him for the quality of his work. 285 00:16:26,493 --> 00:16:28,813 Speaker 3: I did read the Reuters article, and afterwards I thought, 286 00:16:29,693 --> 00:16:33,253 Speaker 3: who cares amusingly, the shredded print is now worth much 287 00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:37,333 Speaker 3: more than it was when entire. That's exactly right, Dean, 288 00:16:37,453 --> 00:16:39,373 Speaker 3: it is it's worth I think it's worth like ten 289 00:16:39,413 --> 00:16:42,693 Speaker 3: times more than it was when it was a single piece. 290 00:16:42,733 --> 00:16:45,893 Speaker 3: But I don't know. I feel like Banks he might endure. 291 00:16:45,893 --> 00:16:49,333 Speaker 3: It certainly is the sort of being at the being 292 00:16:49,373 --> 00:16:54,413 Speaker 3: at the vanguard of graffiti street art, right, I think 293 00:16:55,533 --> 00:16:57,333 Speaker 3: I think you'll be recognized in that sense. But thank 294 00:16:57,333 --> 00:16:59,213 Speaker 3: you for your feedback. What is in in a couple 295 00:16:59,253 --> 00:17:00,853 Speaker 3: of minutes twenty six minutes past nine and you were 296 00:17:00,933 --> 00:17:02,893 Speaker 3: Jack Tay. This is Newstalk ZV. 297 00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:08,093 Speaker 5: Getting your weekends started. 298 00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:11,973 Speaker 1: It's Saturday morning with Jack team on news Talks edb. 299 00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:15,333 Speaker 3: Hi, Jack, there is a real push towards individuality and 300 00:17:15,373 --> 00:17:18,333 Speaker 3: personal branding. Now, you're totally right. It feels like society 301 00:17:18,373 --> 00:17:22,013 Speaker 3: expects everyone to define themselves through status and visibility. You 302 00:17:22,053 --> 00:17:24,653 Speaker 3: see it in job applications where employers often ask for 303 00:17:24,733 --> 00:17:28,373 Speaker 3: LinkedIn X or Facebook profiles. When I say that I 304 00:17:28,413 --> 00:17:30,933 Speaker 3: don't have any, it can raise eyebrows, like I'm hiding 305 00:17:30,933 --> 00:17:34,013 Speaker 3: something rather than just opting out. But from the outside, 306 00:17:34,013 --> 00:17:37,253 Speaker 3: it's pretty perplexing how much weight we put on these things. This, Dave, 307 00:17:37,373 --> 00:17:40,293 Speaker 3: I totally agree with you, Dave, And I mean, I look, 308 00:17:41,013 --> 00:17:44,973 Speaker 3: I'm no better than anyone else. I lean into these things, well, 309 00:17:45,053 --> 00:17:46,853 Speaker 3: I lean in a bit to these things. I've resent 310 00:17:46,893 --> 00:17:48,733 Speaker 3: them a lot of the time as well. But I 311 00:17:48,773 --> 00:17:52,453 Speaker 3: do have profiles on vierious social media platforms. But it 312 00:17:53,093 --> 00:17:55,373 Speaker 3: feels like you are constantly kind of being pushed to 313 00:17:55,453 --> 00:17:59,573 Speaker 3: sell yourself as an individual brand. Don't you think ninety 314 00:17:59,573 --> 00:18:02,013 Speaker 3: two ninety two is the text number the morning our 315 00:18:02,013 --> 00:18:05,413 Speaker 3: sporto Andrew Savill is here. And how about them Hurricanes? 316 00:18:05,493 --> 00:18:08,973 Speaker 3: Ah my good, that's fifty points on the Landers last night? 317 00:18:09,773 --> 00:18:10,013 Speaker 8: Yeah. 318 00:18:10,053 --> 00:18:10,333 Speaker 3: Wow. 319 00:18:10,653 --> 00:18:12,813 Speaker 9: I didn't think the Highlanders were that bad, but the 320 00:18:12,893 --> 00:18:16,333 Speaker 9: Hurricanes were simply out of this world. Finally, it looks 321 00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:20,053 Speaker 9: as though, and thankfully if you're a Hurricanes fan, Ruben 322 00:18:20,093 --> 00:18:22,733 Speaker 9: Lover is fully fit and let's hope he can get 323 00:18:22,773 --> 00:18:24,893 Speaker 9: a whole season at ten because last night I thought 324 00:18:24,933 --> 00:18:28,373 Speaker 9: he was superb. That would have to be the best 325 00:18:28,653 --> 00:18:31,973 Speaker 9: nine ten twelve combo in the country. Roy Guard, Ruben 326 00:18:32,053 --> 00:18:34,773 Speaker 9: Love and Jordi Barrett and then you've got Procter outside 327 00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:37,013 Speaker 9: of Barrett, of course, but I thought that the way 328 00:18:37,053 --> 00:18:43,573 Speaker 9: they used the ball Finally, last night we saw not 329 00:18:43,653 --> 00:18:45,853 Speaker 9: a heck of a lot of kicking, which was seen 330 00:18:45,893 --> 00:18:48,053 Speaker 9: in some of the other games so far this season. 331 00:18:48,213 --> 00:18:51,773 Speaker 9: I watched that France England game last week and the 332 00:18:51,813 --> 00:18:54,293 Speaker 9: Six Nations. Don't know whether you saw it, but I 333 00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:56,733 Speaker 9: was watching that thinking she's a super Rugby hasn't really 334 00:18:56,773 --> 00:18:59,573 Speaker 9: lived up to that to this point in time, but 335 00:18:59,773 --> 00:19:06,013 Speaker 9: last night's performance from the Canes especially does prove once 336 00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:08,453 Speaker 9: again that there's still a fair amount of talent in 337 00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:12,053 Speaker 9: New Zealand rugby. The forward pack played very well. Just 338 00:19:12,493 --> 00:19:15,053 Speaker 9: the quick ball they're able to get and the way 339 00:19:15,173 --> 00:19:19,653 Speaker 9: Ruben Love used it I thought was superb and the 340 00:19:19,773 --> 00:19:22,493 Speaker 9: variety in which he used at jack. And then that 341 00:19:22,653 --> 00:19:26,453 Speaker 9: leads on to the other point regards Ruben Love was 342 00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:28,893 Speaker 9: he was barely used in the All Blacks the last 343 00:19:28,933 --> 00:19:32,053 Speaker 9: year or two, so you'd imagine with the new coach, 344 00:19:32,133 --> 00:19:34,333 Speaker 9: and yes, Richie Wong is coming back from Japan, and 345 00:19:34,413 --> 00:19:37,133 Speaker 9: yes you've got Bowden Barrett Damien McKenzie, but surely Ruben 346 00:19:37,213 --> 00:19:39,973 Speaker 9: Love deserves some sort of a crack this year in 347 00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:43,293 Speaker 9: that ten jersey in the All Boats game doesn't make 348 00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:46,093 Speaker 9: a whole season, and test match football is different, but 349 00:19:46,933 --> 00:19:50,453 Speaker 9: that the talent that this kid's got, let's not waste it. 350 00:19:50,813 --> 00:19:54,813 Speaker 3: I totally agree. My gosh, heartbreak across the ditch that 351 00:19:54,813 --> 00:20:01,173 Speaker 3: that runaway try. Yeah, I know how much were they? 352 00:20:01,453 --> 00:20:03,933 Speaker 9: They were up twenty four to seven, and then the 353 00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:08,573 Speaker 9: Brumby scored nineteen unanswered points in ten minutes ten minutes, 354 00:20:09,533 --> 00:20:13,653 Speaker 9: and then the Chiefs have another chance to win what 355 00:20:13,733 --> 00:20:17,293 Speaker 9: the Brumbies are up twenty six to twenty four. The 356 00:20:17,413 --> 00:20:19,853 Speaker 9: Chiefs are camped on their goal line about to score 357 00:20:19,853 --> 00:20:22,173 Speaker 9: and win the game, and basically the last play of 358 00:20:22,213 --> 00:20:25,773 Speaker 9: the game they throw an intercept Brumby scot the other 359 00:20:25,893 --> 00:20:29,693 Speaker 9: end of the field and game over. I thought, overall 360 00:20:29,733 --> 00:20:34,253 Speaker 9: is very good game, great tribute, great start of the game. 361 00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:38,493 Speaker 9: Honoring James Slipper two hundred and third Super Rugby match, 362 00:20:38,493 --> 00:20:40,853 Speaker 9: which is the record he takes over from White Crocket, 363 00:20:40,893 --> 00:20:45,333 Speaker 9: the old Crusaders prop amazing how tight forwards Jack seem 364 00:20:45,373 --> 00:20:47,733 Speaker 9: to last alonger and what is a very abrasive game 365 00:20:48,533 --> 00:20:53,053 Speaker 9: and physical game, but James Slipper haven't had too much 366 00:20:53,093 --> 00:20:55,933 Speaker 9: of them, what I understand those the top bloke, so 367 00:20:56,053 --> 00:20:57,813 Speaker 9: great tribute to him. And then the Brumbies go on 368 00:20:57,933 --> 00:21:01,293 Speaker 9: and win that tight match. Against the Chiefs, but the Hurricanes, 369 00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:06,373 Speaker 9: though ruling the roost after what six rounds, they still 370 00:21:06,453 --> 00:21:08,293 Speaker 9: top of the table. A lot of local derby, tough 371 00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:10,613 Speaker 9: local derby games to come. But if you're a Canes 372 00:21:10,613 --> 00:21:12,213 Speaker 9: found again, the signs are pretty promising. 373 00:21:12,613 --> 00:21:15,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, very much so. And not a bad result in 374 00:21:15,053 --> 00:21:21,053 Speaker 3: the end for both our cricket teams last night. Yeah, yeah, 375 00:21:21,093 --> 00:21:21,653 Speaker 3: he parks. 376 00:21:21,653 --> 00:21:23,613 Speaker 9: Not everybody's cup of tea when it comes to cricket, 377 00:21:23,613 --> 00:21:27,053 Speaker 9: but fans are close to the action. There was some 378 00:21:28,133 --> 00:21:31,933 Speaker 9: good hitting and some pretty good bowling last night. Sophie 379 00:21:31,933 --> 00:21:36,893 Speaker 9: Devine had another fifty in her T twenty career and 380 00:21:36,893 --> 00:21:39,013 Speaker 9: then Tom Latham came out. And I don't know why 381 00:21:39,093 --> 00:21:41,813 Speaker 9: he hasn't been utilized more in T twenty cricket jack 382 00:21:41,853 --> 00:21:44,653 Speaker 9: but Tom Latham came out. I think people assume he's 383 00:21:44,653 --> 00:21:47,693 Speaker 9: a test opener and he's not a big hitter, but 384 00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:51,653 Speaker 9: he's a very good score of RUMs and he had 385 00:21:51,653 --> 00:21:53,733 Speaker 9: a fair amount of boundaries. Last night pretty much led 386 00:21:54,733 --> 00:21:57,253 Speaker 9: the Black Claps to Black Caps rather than victory out 387 00:21:57,213 --> 00:21:59,653 Speaker 9: of South Africa, so that both teams are up to one. 388 00:21:59,773 --> 00:22:01,733 Speaker 9: I think the series has been pretty good so far 389 00:22:01,933 --> 00:22:05,013 Speaker 9: considering and we're almost in April. Yeah, the football codes 390 00:22:05,813 --> 00:22:09,213 Speaker 9: have taken taken over the warritor not the warrtors, the warriors. 391 00:22:10,933 --> 00:22:16,453 Speaker 9: She was up today against Newcastle at five o'clock out time, 392 00:22:16,493 --> 00:22:19,573 Speaker 9: first away game. Let's see if they can keep on 393 00:22:19,613 --> 00:22:21,493 Speaker 9: this amazing role the momentum. 394 00:22:21,733 --> 00:22:24,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, and a sad day more to that, Yeah, a 395 00:22:24,853 --> 00:22:25,613 Speaker 3: sad day. 396 00:22:25,493 --> 00:22:31,733 Speaker 9: In the combat sporting world. Chuck Norris and and in Hollywood. 397 00:22:31,773 --> 00:22:33,373 Speaker 9: I don't know how that guy never wont to Oscar. 398 00:22:33,613 --> 00:22:37,213 Speaker 3: He was eighty six. I didn't appreciate he was eighty six. 399 00:22:38,733 --> 00:22:40,933 Speaker 9: He was that age as well. But I remember seeing 400 00:22:41,853 --> 00:22:43,733 Speaker 9: Chuck Norris was at the way of the dragon. Was 401 00:22:43,733 --> 00:22:47,453 Speaker 9: Bruce Lee early seventies. You probably haven't seen that. I 402 00:22:47,493 --> 00:22:49,493 Speaker 9: went to the movies and saw Breaker Breaker I think 403 00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:51,493 Speaker 9: it was in the late seventies, and Chuck Morris was 404 00:22:51,573 --> 00:22:55,653 Speaker 9: the man. I thought, that's a bit of me. I 405 00:22:55,693 --> 00:23:00,333 Speaker 9: went along to my next door neighbors black belt exam 406 00:23:00,693 --> 00:23:03,853 Speaker 9: it's sato karate in christ Church, and then I realized, 407 00:23:03,853 --> 00:23:09,133 Speaker 9: maybe that's not for me. I even purchased a Chuck 408 00:23:09,213 --> 00:23:11,013 Speaker 9: Norris total gym in the eighties. 409 00:23:11,053 --> 00:23:15,653 Speaker 3: I think, oh yeah, ah, how good the photos. 410 00:23:16,693 --> 00:23:19,413 Speaker 9: Yeah, one of the great dust gatherers of all time 411 00:23:20,253 --> 00:23:24,533 Speaker 9: Norris Total Gym.

I didn't sort 465 00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:19,893 Speaker 12: of think it. 466 00:26:19,813 --> 00:26:20,853 Speaker 3: Would be lovely. 467 00:26:20,933 --> 00:26:25,493 Speaker 12: It is a script written by Drew Goddard. It's based 468 00:26:25,533 --> 00:26:27,893 Speaker 12: on a book by Andy where these two were behind 469 00:26:27,933 --> 00:26:31,093 Speaker 12: the film The Martian, and this is an adaptation of 470 00:26:31,133 --> 00:26:34,973 Speaker 12: another weird book. It's directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, 471 00:26:35,053 --> 00:26:38,253 Speaker 12: who are well known for films like Cloud with a 472 00:26:38,373 --> 00:26:40,893 Speaker 12: Chance of Cloud with the Chance of meat Balls and 473 00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:44,093 Speaker 12: the lego movie So Cloudy. 474 00:26:44,573 --> 00:26:45,413 Speaker 5: I love these films. 475 00:26:45,533 --> 00:26:51,493 Speaker 12: They're very joyful filmmakers. They try to sort of you know, 476 00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:54,053 Speaker 12: they put a lot of humor into their films. There 477 00:26:54,093 --> 00:26:56,173 Speaker 12: is a lot of action in this film as well. 478 00:26:56,253 --> 00:26:59,133 Speaker 12: There's moments of jeopardy, but there's also a lot of 479 00:26:59,133 --> 00:27:03,533 Speaker 12: moments of contemplation and sort of considering what is your 480 00:27:04,253 --> 00:27:07,133 Speaker 12: why or you're who in the world might make you 481 00:27:07,213 --> 00:27:09,653 Speaker 12: an incredibly brave person that would enable you to save 482 00:27:09,693 --> 00:27:13,333 Speaker 12: the world. So Ryan plays a former middle school science teacher. 483 00:27:13,693 --> 00:27:15,573 Speaker 12: He wakes up at the beginning of this film on 484 00:27:15,613 --> 00:27:18,133 Speaker 12: a spaceship. He's got a bit of about of amnesia. 485 00:27:18,613 --> 00:27:21,053 Speaker 12: He is the only survivor. He's not sure what he's 486 00:27:21,093 --> 00:27:23,733 Speaker 12: doing there, and his memory slowly comes back to him 487 00:27:23,733 --> 00:27:25,733 Speaker 12: and we have these sort of flashbacks and we see 488 00:27:25,733 --> 00:27:27,973 Speaker 12: the life that he was leading before he ended up 489 00:27:27,973 --> 00:27:31,573 Speaker 12: on this ship. He plays his character Ryland Grace, and 490 00:27:31,613 --> 00:27:35,253 Speaker 12: he's a molecular biologist turned school teacher because his career 491 00:27:35,773 --> 00:27:37,733 Speaker 12: he came up with a few ideas yet that other 492 00:27:37,733 --> 00:27:42,053 Speaker 12: people didn't you kin'd of think were reasonable and rational. Anyway, 493 00:27:42,533 --> 00:27:46,093 Speaker 12: what's basically happening is the Sun is dying. It's slowly 494 00:27:46,173 --> 00:27:53,413 Speaker 12: being devoured by this tiny extraterrestrial organism and basically the 495 00:27:53,453 --> 00:27:55,773 Speaker 12: Earth is going to call. The crops are going to fail. 496 00:27:55,773 --> 00:27:58,773 Speaker 12: There'll be a economic collapse as well. People will starve 497 00:27:58,813 --> 00:28:02,253 Speaker 12: over the next thirty years. And so Sandra Hulla, who 498 00:28:03,093 --> 00:28:09,133 Speaker 12: stars as sort of this person who's responsible for pulling 499 00:28:09,493 --> 00:28:11,253 Speaker 12: all sorts of people from all around the world to 500 00:28:11,253 --> 00:28:15,093 Speaker 12: try and solve this problem, and she pulls in Grace 501 00:28:15,253 --> 00:28:16,813 Speaker 12: and he is one of the people that is trying 502 00:28:16,853 --> 00:28:18,253 Speaker 12: to help solve it, and he does come up with 503 00:28:18,293 --> 00:28:20,333 Speaker 12: a few good ideas and finds some stuff. 504 00:28:20,813 --> 00:28:21,573 Speaker 3: On this ship. 505 00:28:22,733 --> 00:28:27,093 Speaker 12: He is alone, but he also encounters another being which 506 00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:32,573 Speaker 12: is a spider like rock alien, and they learn to 507 00:28:32,573 --> 00:28:35,453 Speaker 12: communicate with each other and become friends, and together they 508 00:28:35,893 --> 00:28:40,693 Speaker 12: go about trying to save their planets. Ryan's character is goofy. 509 00:28:41,013 --> 00:28:43,853 Speaker 12: He's quite messy, a bit clumsy. He sort of has 510 00:28:43,893 --> 00:28:47,053 Speaker 12: to use Maguiver like skills in order to try and 511 00:28:47,093 --> 00:28:50,293 Speaker 12: survive on the spaceship. It is actually a very old 512 00:28:50,413 --> 00:28:53,733 Speaker 12: fashioned kind of blockbuster. It's a great one for the 513 00:28:53,773 --> 00:28:58,133 Speaker 12: whole family, I think, not the little kids, your tweens 514 00:28:58,173 --> 00:29:00,173 Speaker 12: and your teens and things. It's sort of an adventure 515 00:29:00,173 --> 00:29:03,333 Speaker 12: that you can all go on together. Doesn't all work, 516 00:29:03,413 --> 00:29:07,373 Speaker 12: but as I said, actually quite lovely, entertaining, quite long, 517 00:29:07,693 --> 00:29:08,573 Speaker 12: Oh yeah. 518 00:29:08,373 --> 00:29:11,213 Speaker 3: But all good. Yeah, they're good. So that's Project Hail 519 00:29:11,253 --> 00:29:15,213 Speaker 3: Mary starring Ryan Goslin. Another film, another heart Throbbed. This 520 00:29:15,293 --> 00:29:18,373 Speaker 3: one stars Alexander scars Guard. It's Hellian. 521 00:29:18,613 --> 00:29:21,533 Speaker 11: What am I going to do with you whatever you want, 522 00:29:23,173 --> 00:29:25,893 Speaker 11: get your cash. I don't think it's any of your business, 523 00:29:26,733 --> 00:29:31,773 Speaker 11: are we not? How do you get a man like that? 524 00:29:32,973 --> 00:29:34,813 Speaker 5: I have an aptitude for devotion. 525 00:29:38,013 --> 00:29:39,693 Speaker 3: Okay, that's pinion, tell us about it. 526 00:29:39,733 --> 00:29:41,933 Speaker 12: So this is a love story with the dark comedic 527 00:29:42,053 --> 00:29:44,493 Speaker 12: edge to it. We have this character Colin. He's a 528 00:29:44,573 --> 00:29:45,253 Speaker 12: very timid man. 529 00:29:45,413 --> 00:29:46,453 Speaker 3: He performs in. 530 00:29:46,453 --> 00:29:49,053 Speaker 12: A barbershop quartet with his father at the local pub 531 00:29:49,093 --> 00:29:52,533 Speaker 12: and then one night he meets this very tall, confident, 532 00:29:52,653 --> 00:29:57,853 Speaker 12: dashing man played by Alexander Starsguard and that he initiates. 533 00:29:58,133 --> 00:30:03,373 Speaker 12: Scarsguard's character initiates a relationship with Colin Colin where he 534 00:30:03,573 --> 00:30:06,813 Speaker 12: is his submissive. So Colin kind of is very that 535 00:30:06,853 --> 00:30:10,613 Speaker 12: he's got this incredibly attractive boyfriend, his first ever boyfriend, 536 00:30:10,613 --> 00:30:13,933 Speaker 12: his first ever relationship. But he slowly works out how 537 00:30:13,933 --> 00:30:15,933 Speaker 12: it's supposed to work. So he goes to his home, 538 00:30:15,973 --> 00:30:18,413 Speaker 12: he cooks, he cleans, he seats on the floor. He 539 00:30:18,573 --> 00:30:22,333 Speaker 12: is very much treated as submissive, and it look it 540 00:30:21,693 --> 00:30:23,853 Speaker 12: is it is unusual to get your head around. It's 541 00:30:23,933 --> 00:30:27,733 Speaker 12: quite disrespectful. It's very much a learning experience for Colin. 542 00:30:30,053 --> 00:30:32,213 Speaker 12: And we know it's not sustainable, and we know it's 543 00:30:32,253 --> 00:30:35,453 Speaker 12: not healthy, but it is this beautiful opportunity for Colin 544 00:30:35,493 --> 00:30:37,453 Speaker 12: to work out who he is and what he wants 545 00:30:37,453 --> 00:30:40,333 Speaker 12: from life and the kind of relationship he wants in things. 546 00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:43,133 Speaker 12: He can't ride Pillion forever. He's got to sort of 547 00:30:43,173 --> 00:30:45,973 Speaker 12: step out on his own, and that's what this debut 548 00:30:46,053 --> 00:30:49,973 Speaker 12: feature from Harry Lyton is all about. It's very tender, 549 00:30:50,333 --> 00:30:53,213 Speaker 12: it's darkly funny. As I mentioned, it's awkward at times. 550 00:30:53,253 --> 00:30:57,253 Speaker 12: It's quite gratuitous, so you know, probably this is more 551 00:30:57,293 --> 00:31:00,493 Speaker 12: for the discerning film goer, but some great performances in here. 552 00:31:01,093 --> 00:31:01,893 Speaker 3: Is different. 553 00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,293 Speaker 12: No, this is not for the whole family at all, 554 00:31:04,573 --> 00:31:07,853 Speaker 12: but it is really love to see different love stories 555 00:31:07,853 --> 00:31:08,253 Speaker 12: on screen. 556 00:31:08,293 --> 00:31:10,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I say this a very good point. Okay. Cool. 557 00:31:10,253 --> 00:31:13,493 Speaker 3: So that's Pillion that's in cinemas at the moment.

Out there? An apple and kale burger? 583 00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,173 Speaker 3: So I don't know about that.

Yeah, look, I'm an 585 00:32:26,413 --> 00:32:29,813 Speaker 3: apple fine kale, I guess and then I was like, 586 00:32:29,853 --> 00:32:31,613 Speaker 3: but I feel like you need a bit of protein 587 00:32:31,653 --> 00:32:31,973 Speaker 3: in there. 588 00:32:33,373 --> 00:32:35,613 Speaker 13: Pork apple and kale burger cut a. 589 00:32:35,733 --> 00:32:38,933 Speaker 3: Very very very very important addition, you know. I mean, yeah, 590 00:32:38,973 --> 00:32:41,373 Speaker 3: as soon as I realized that the error of my 591 00:32:41,453 --> 00:32:44,373 Speaker 3: ways I was, I was very pleased. Yeah. 592 00:32:44,413 --> 00:32:47,013 Speaker 13: Hey, they're a great little combination. And the reason I'm 593 00:32:47,013 --> 00:32:50,853 Speaker 13: talking burgers this week is there's a sort of nationwide 594 00:32:50,973 --> 00:32:53,853 Speaker 13: campaign at the moment called Burger Nation.

And there are many of them. 601 00:33:09,773 --> 00:33:11,773 Speaker 13: I love a burger. I think they're a bit like 602 00:33:11,773 --> 00:33:14,293 Speaker 13: a taco in fact, that you know, in the way 603 00:33:14,333 --> 00:33:16,533 Speaker 13: that they're sort of a pretty balanced meal. You've got 604 00:33:16,573 --> 00:33:19,733 Speaker 13: your carbohydrates, you're a lovely bit of protein stuck in there, 605 00:33:19,733 --> 00:33:21,413 Speaker 13: and it's a really good excuse to get lots of 606 00:33:21,493 --> 00:33:24,213 Speaker 13: edges in there. So I love them. I absolutely love them. 607 00:33:24,253 --> 00:33:26,853 Speaker 13: And this one pork apple and kale. It came about 608 00:33:26,853 --> 00:33:28,533 Speaker 13: because I had a lot of kale in my garden 609 00:33:28,613 --> 00:33:30,413 Speaker 13: while I was desperate to try and think of different 610 00:33:30,453 --> 00:33:32,893 Speaker 13: ways to use it a while ago. And this is great. 611 00:33:32,893 --> 00:33:36,093 Speaker 13: We roast up the kale, So grab some kale. The 612 00:33:36,093 --> 00:33:38,893 Speaker 13: business of it just goes so beautifully with the sweet 613 00:33:38,893 --> 00:33:41,533 Speaker 13: of the apple and the pork, and we just massage 614 00:33:41,573 --> 00:33:44,133 Speaker 13: that kale turn an ovento one hundred and seventy degrees. 615 00:33:44,733 --> 00:33:47,613 Speaker 13: Put some oil on a tray and get that kind 616 00:33:47,613 --> 00:33:49,613 Speaker 13: of massage around your kale and just bake it for 617 00:33:49,693 --> 00:33:52,333 Speaker 13: fifteen to twenty minutes and then sprinkle it with salt. 618 00:33:52,373 --> 00:33:56,773 Speaker 13: And it's amazing. Even it's like a kale chip. 619 00:33:56,893 --> 00:33:57,373 Speaker 3: It's great. 620 00:33:58,053 --> 00:34:00,653 Speaker 13: It should be crispy as so it's a beautiful texture 621 00:34:00,653 --> 00:34:02,293 Speaker 13: in the burger as well. So you can set those 622 00:34:02,333 --> 00:34:05,493 Speaker 13: aside and those are done. Here's a recipe for making 623 00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:10,333 Speaker 13: two beautiful big pork mints patties. So two hundred and 624 00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:13,773 Speaker 13: fifty grams of port mintce some bread crumbs. I use 625 00:34:13,853 --> 00:34:16,333 Speaker 13: half a gram half a cup of fresh bread crumbs, 626 00:34:16,373 --> 00:34:18,933 Speaker 13: and I soak those in a splash of milk just 627 00:34:19,053 --> 00:34:21,413 Speaker 13: until the bread crumbs have kind of absorbed that milk. 628 00:34:21,653 --> 00:34:24,133 Speaker 13: This saves you using an egg. I don't like an 629 00:34:24,173 --> 00:34:27,733 Speaker 13: egg and a meat ball or anything, or a burger patty, 630 00:34:28,013 --> 00:34:30,293 Speaker 13: because what ends up happening is it overcooks and it 631 00:34:30,413 --> 00:34:32,613 Speaker 13: just becomes a bit nasty and makes them really sort 632 00:34:32,613 --> 00:34:35,533 Speaker 13: of tough. This gives you a beautiful soft burger patty. 633 00:34:35,853 --> 00:34:38,613 Speaker 13: So soak those bread crumbs, mix that with your pork, 634 00:34:38,693 --> 00:34:41,413 Speaker 13: minks half an onion. I just finally dice it or 635 00:34:41,453 --> 00:34:44,853 Speaker 13: else grate it. Two tablespoons of fresh herbs, and I'd 636 00:34:44,893 --> 00:34:47,533 Speaker 13: go for sage or parsley or rosemary or thyme. 637 00:34:47,853 --> 00:34:48,133 Speaker 7: You can. 638 00:34:48,253 --> 00:34:50,813 Speaker 13: You know, you choose a nice big dollop of whole 639 00:34:50,853 --> 00:34:53,293 Speaker 13: grain mustard in their decent amount of salt and pepper, 640 00:34:53,573 --> 00:34:55,933 Speaker 13: and massage all of that together with your hands, and 641 00:34:55,933 --> 00:34:58,893 Speaker 13: that gets the proteins going jack which in the pork, 642 00:34:58,933 --> 00:35:01,693 Speaker 13: which will also help to bind it. Roll this, divide 643 00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:04,173 Speaker 13: it into two, roll it into two nice big balls, 644 00:35:04,173 --> 00:35:07,333 Speaker 13: flatten it, and make sure that you've flatten your patty 645 00:35:07,733 --> 00:35:11,613 Speaker 13: so that it's flattened bigger than your burger butt, because 646 00:35:11,613 --> 00:35:13,733 Speaker 13: they do shrink. And we've all had that problem when 647 00:35:13,773 --> 00:35:16,813 Speaker 13: you make a burger at home and you end up 648 00:35:16,853 --> 00:35:19,573 Speaker 13: with this sort of little patty and the big overhanging 649 00:35:19,613 --> 00:35:22,533 Speaker 13: burger paddy a burger buttons, So don't do that. Chill 650 00:35:22,573 --> 00:35:24,253 Speaker 13: it down for fifteen minutes while you get the rest 651 00:35:24,293 --> 00:35:27,973 Speaker 13: of everything sorted. Cook your patties in a pan or 652 00:35:28,013 --> 00:35:31,413 Speaker 13: on a barbecue, don't overcook them, and they'll be nice 653 00:35:31,413 --> 00:35:34,653 Speaker 13: and moist and delicious. And then key I think with 654 00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:37,253 Speaker 13: a good burger is to split the butt, wipe a 655 00:35:37,293 --> 00:35:39,573 Speaker 13: little bit of mayonnaise, and place the cut side down 656 00:35:39,613 --> 00:35:42,093 Speaker 13: in a pan or on a grill. The mayonnaise acts 657 00:35:42,133 --> 00:35:44,693 Speaker 13: like butter a bit better, and you'll get a beautiful, 658 00:35:44,813 --> 00:35:47,133 Speaker 13: oh so good that they'll be soft.

It's I mean, it really is quite beautiful. 827 00:45:19,013 --> 00:45:25,213 Speaker 3: But obviously you appreciated early on that children also value 828 00:45:26,173 --> 00:45:29,693 Speaker 3: good words and clever language exactly. 829 00:45:29,813 --> 00:45:33,413 Speaker 10: And I've always felt very very strongly, particularly having been 830 00:45:33,453 --> 00:45:35,773 Speaker 10: brought up in the nineteen forties and that's an awfully 831 00:45:35,773 --> 00:45:41,333 Speaker 10: long time time ago, that the things we were given 832 00:45:41,413 --> 00:45:46,413 Speaker 10: to read it at school were incredibly old fashioned even then, 833 00:45:46,573 --> 00:45:51,853 Speaker 10: I think, and of millions of gnomes and faeries and 834 00:45:52,093 --> 00:45:57,133 Speaker 10: bits and pieces, and it was talking down kind of language, 835 00:45:57,253 --> 00:46:01,453 Speaker 10: which I'm looking back, I probably sort of recognized it 836 00:46:01,573 --> 00:46:03,853 Speaker 10: wasn't the kind of language I was getting at home, 837 00:46:04,813 --> 00:46:07,453 Speaker 10: and I got a bit bored by those books, and 838 00:46:07,493 --> 00:46:10,413 Speaker 10: it was only later on, when much later on, when 839 00:46:10,413 --> 00:46:14,613 Speaker 10: I met books like Doctor Seusis suddenly realized you could 840 00:46:14,613 --> 00:46:17,853 Speaker 10: be mad with the language and have a fantastic time, 841 00:46:18,413 --> 00:46:21,893 Speaker 10: which has always made me feel that for parents reading 842 00:46:21,933 --> 00:46:24,133 Speaker 10: to small children as you are doing at the moment, 843 00:46:26,453 --> 00:46:29,413 Speaker 10: you can get dreadfully tired if you can't get excited 844 00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:32,893 Speaker 10: about what you're reading. And you've got something that really 845 00:46:32,933 --> 00:46:37,893 Speaker 10: makes you laugh as well as the child, that's absolutely fantastic. 846 00:46:37,973 --> 00:46:40,933 Speaker 10: It's a mutual thing then, and that makes it much 847 00:46:40,973 --> 00:46:42,573 Speaker 10: more special for the child too. 848 00:46:43,773 --> 00:46:46,013 Speaker 3: I think you've put your finger on it. I think 849 00:46:46,013 --> 00:46:49,613 Speaker 3: that's the secret source. I believe that that might be 850 00:46:49,733 --> 00:46:52,893 Speaker 3: part of the reason you've had so much success is 851 00:46:52,973 --> 00:46:57,213 Speaker 3: because you've managed to unlock the kind of storytelling that 852 00:46:57,293 --> 00:46:59,133 Speaker 3: delight's parents as well as children. 853 00:47:00,013 --> 00:47:03,053 Speaker 10: That's so important, because after all, a parent is pretty 854 00:47:03,053 --> 00:47:04,653 Speaker 10: tired really at bedtime. 855 00:47:05,533 --> 00:47:06,653 Speaker 6: Yeah, you did. 856 00:47:07,253 --> 00:47:10,933 Speaker 10: And the last thing you want is a text that clunks. 857 00:47:11,973 --> 00:47:16,733 Speaker 10: You know that that is so irritating. Actually, And if 858 00:47:16,773 --> 00:47:19,733 Speaker 10: you've got something that actually swings along the beautiful rhythm 859 00:47:20,493 --> 00:47:24,093 Speaker 10: and you've got lovely, interesting, fun words that you can 860 00:47:24,133 --> 00:47:27,933 Speaker 10: all laugh about, that just adds to the fun of 861 00:47:28,013 --> 00:47:30,973 Speaker 10: doing so really and that's why I've been pretty strong 862 00:47:31,013 --> 00:47:31,973 Speaker 10: about things like that. 863 00:47:32,613 --> 00:47:36,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm ashamed to say it wasn't until having been 864 00:47:36,773 --> 00:47:40,773 Speaker 3: brought up on your stories, having been read them as 865 00:47:40,813 --> 00:47:44,973 Speaker 3: a child. I'm ashamed to say that it wasn't until 866 00:47:44,973 --> 00:47:47,813 Speaker 3: I had my own children and was reading them your 867 00:47:47,853 --> 00:47:51,733 Speaker 3: stories through the next generation that I had also appreciated 868 00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:55,733 Speaker 3: you had illustrated your books. And I mean you are 869 00:47:55,733 --> 00:47:58,693 Speaker 3: an incredible artist. Yeah, you are you. I mean you 870 00:47:58,733 --> 00:48:02,973 Speaker 3: are an astonishing artist. So tell us about the illustration 871 00:48:03,293 --> 00:48:07,453 Speaker 3: side of things, because obviously you know you had studied it, 872 00:48:07,533 --> 00:48:10,533 Speaker 3: you were teaching it. But the art is a hugely 873 00:48:10,533 --> 00:48:11,533 Speaker 3: important component. 874 00:48:12,893 --> 00:48:16,573 Speaker 10: I was absolutely obsessed with drawing as a child, right 875 00:48:16,613 --> 00:48:22,733 Speaker 10: from the very beginning, and I think possibly it started 876 00:48:22,773 --> 00:48:25,853 Speaker 10: with my aunt, my father's sister, who used to write 877 00:48:26,053 --> 00:48:29,653 Speaker 10: every week and she always did a very silly drawing 878 00:48:29,693 --> 00:48:32,773 Speaker 10: at the bottom of her letter for me, and it 879 00:48:32,853 --> 00:48:36,013 Speaker 10: was usually an animal, an animal that looks likely like 880 00:48:36,053 --> 00:48:38,973 Speaker 10: a caterpillar, had an awful lot of legs, but it 881 00:48:39,093 --> 00:48:43,093 Speaker 10: was always hilarious to see. And I can remember all 882 00:48:43,133 --> 00:48:46,053 Speaker 10: of us howling with laughter at these things because she 883 00:48:46,093 --> 00:48:48,693 Speaker 10: couldn't draw for peanuts, but that was what made it 884 00:48:48,773 --> 00:48:53,813 Speaker 10: so good fun, and I looked for that each time 885 00:48:53,853 --> 00:48:55,773 Speaker 10: the letter came in. I think I probably would have 886 00:48:55,853 --> 00:48:59,973 Speaker 10: been bitterly disappointed if there hadn't been hadn't been a 887 00:49:00,093 --> 00:49:04,573 Speaker 10: drawing for me as well. So at that stage I 888 00:49:04,573 --> 00:49:07,293 Speaker 10: suppose it sank into my head that you can actually 889 00:49:07,413 --> 00:49:12,453 Speaker 10: sort of what words and illustrations together, you know, not 890 00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:15,133 Speaker 10: really thinking about it, but it probably sank in somewhere, 891 00:49:15,253 --> 00:49:20,653 Speaker 10: And so I drew right through my childhood. Right from 892 00:49:20,653 --> 00:49:22,973 Speaker 10: the very beginning. It was understood in my family that 893 00:49:23,093 --> 00:49:27,093 Speaker 10: I would do art, do art in some way, and 894 00:49:27,213 --> 00:49:29,253 Speaker 10: that was why I went off to our school and 895 00:49:29,413 --> 00:49:35,413 Speaker 10: studied sculpture of all things. Would you believe it? Yeah, 896 00:49:35,453 --> 00:49:38,253 Speaker 10: But that was incredibly useful, of course, because it gave 897 00:49:38,293 --> 00:49:41,533 Speaker 10: me a good understanding of you know, shape and figure 898 00:49:41,613 --> 00:49:46,173 Speaker 10: and whatnot. And so I love you we're doing that 899 00:49:46,253 --> 00:49:49,013 Speaker 10: part of it as well as much as doing the words. 900 00:49:49,653 --> 00:49:55,453 Speaker 3: Is it a real thing to in the world of 901 00:49:55,573 --> 00:49:59,653 Speaker 3: children's books, to come across someone who is as good 902 00:49:59,653 --> 00:50:01,533 Speaker 3: with the art as they are with the language. It 903 00:50:01,613 --> 00:50:04,693 Speaker 3: sort of feels like you you've really you sort of 904 00:50:04,693 --> 00:50:06,053 Speaker 3: excel in both spaces. 905 00:50:07,053 --> 00:50:09,253 Speaker 10: Well, it's very kind of you, Jack to say that 906 00:50:10,533 --> 00:50:15,813 Speaker 10: I don't always feel like sixty with everything. But it's 907 00:50:15,933 --> 00:50:18,173 Speaker 10: I think there are a lot of actually, if you 908 00:50:18,173 --> 00:50:21,173 Speaker 10: look at quite a lot of illustrators and writers together, 909 00:50:21,293 --> 00:50:25,853 Speaker 10: who you know who do both and sometimes perhaps there's 910 00:50:25,853 --> 00:50:28,493 Speaker 10: a slight difference in standard. I don't know. I think 911 00:50:28,533 --> 00:50:32,773 Speaker 10: I've seen plenty who are very good at both. So 912 00:50:32,853 --> 00:50:36,933 Speaker 10: I'm not not alone in that at all. I'm just 913 00:50:37,173 --> 00:50:38,733 Speaker 10: lucky though, which is nice. 914 00:50:39,373 --> 00:50:42,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, you listen to Jack tam I'm speaking with Dane 915 00:50:42,773 --> 00:50:46,133 Speaker 3: Linley Dodd about her incredible breath of work and her 916 00:50:46,213 --> 00:50:49,013 Speaker 3: Legacy award at this year's New Zealander of the Year Awards. 917 00:50:49,933 --> 00:50:53,053 Speaker 3: I have to ask about hearing McCleary only because I'm 918 00:50:53,133 --> 00:50:55,133 Speaker 3: sure everyone asks you about it's probably not a day 919 00:50:55,173 --> 00:50:58,173 Speaker 3: goes by you don't. You don't mention mention his name? 920 00:50:58,253 --> 00:50:58,853 Speaker 6: Is he based? 921 00:50:59,173 --> 00:50:59,813 Speaker 3: Is he based on. 922 00:50:59,773 --> 00:51:00,293 Speaker 5: A real doll? 923 00:51:01,773 --> 00:51:03,733 Speaker 10: I think he's been based on an awful lot of 924 00:51:03,813 --> 00:51:06,693 Speaker 10: dogs I've known over the years, you know, sort of 925 00:51:06,693 --> 00:51:09,053 Speaker 10: bumptious little ones who think that they can walk under 926 00:51:09,093 --> 00:51:12,013 Speaker 10: these other dogs and get away with ye. 927 00:51:14,213 --> 00:51:14,253 Speaker 14: With. 928 00:51:14,493 --> 00:51:17,173 Speaker 10: The smaller they are, the more bumptious they get, really, 929 00:51:17,213 --> 00:51:20,733 Speaker 10: don't they They're It's amazing. It's the wrong way around, really, 930 00:51:22,213 --> 00:51:25,853 Speaker 10: But I've always I've always watched and always been obsessed 931 00:51:25,893 --> 00:51:29,173 Speaker 10: with animals all my life too, and have watched an 932 00:51:29,213 --> 00:51:33,133 Speaker 10: awful lot of dogs. We've had dogs at home too, 933 00:51:33,493 --> 00:51:37,333 Speaker 10: and we had a das and latterly at home. 934 00:51:37,933 --> 00:51:39,053 Speaker 3: Did you call them Schnitzel? 935 00:51:40,573 --> 00:51:44,053 Speaker 10: No, he came with a ridiculous name for a German 936 00:51:44,133 --> 00:51:49,613 Speaker 10: dog dog. He was called Sean, completely inappropriate. I don't 937 00:51:49,613 --> 00:51:53,613 Speaker 10: know why I didn't change it. 938 00:51:53,573 --> 00:51:57,333 Speaker 3: It's sort of the names are among all of your 939 00:51:58,173 --> 00:52:01,133 Speaker 3: amazing language. The names are a real standout, right that 940 00:52:01,373 --> 00:52:04,813 Speaker 3: the likes of Hercules, more Schnitze, crumb Muff and maclay. 941 00:52:04,893 --> 00:52:08,213 Speaker 3: I love Gray Wacky Owned. I just think it's such 942 00:52:08,253 --> 00:52:11,573 Speaker 3: a it's such a delightful name. It's such a yeah. 943 00:52:11,733 --> 00:52:14,613 Speaker 10: But I don't know why I thought of that one yet. 944 00:52:14,693 --> 00:52:17,133 Speaker 10: Remember why where. 945 00:52:16,293 --> 00:52:18,213 Speaker 3: Do these Where do they come from? Is it just 946 00:52:18,533 --> 00:52:20,013 Speaker 3: you're just plucking them from the ether. 947 00:52:20,893 --> 00:52:23,773 Speaker 10: Well, I've got a rather peculiar brain, that's quite obvious. 948 00:52:23,893 --> 00:52:28,893 Speaker 10: But I just love the sound of fun words to say. 949 00:52:29,053 --> 00:52:32,293 Speaker 10: And so whenever I go looking for a dog, neighbor 950 00:52:32,213 --> 00:52:35,253 Speaker 10: or anything else name, I put things together and I 951 00:52:35,373 --> 00:52:37,773 Speaker 10: get rid of them if they don't work together, and 952 00:52:37,893 --> 00:52:41,413 Speaker 10: I go back to more words, and I don't know. 953 00:52:41,493 --> 00:52:44,853 Speaker 10: In the end something comes out, and if if it works, 954 00:52:45,013 --> 00:52:48,173 Speaker 10: I say, right, that's it. You know, that seems to 955 00:52:48,213 --> 00:52:50,213 Speaker 10: be suitable. I mean, I don't know how I got 956 00:52:50,293 --> 00:52:55,093 Speaker 10: Gray wacky Jones about from the fact that he is Gray. 957 00:52:55,173 --> 00:52:57,933 Speaker 10: I suppose I was thinking of gray words and trying 958 00:52:57,973 --> 00:53:01,933 Speaker 10: to go through the dictionary and see something interesting, and 959 00:53:02,053 --> 00:53:05,613 Speaker 10: I ended up with that was probably the dictionary. Actually 960 00:53:05,613 --> 00:53:09,973 Speaker 10: I got Gray working. And also because it's a fun 961 00:53:10,013 --> 00:53:10,373 Speaker 10: thing to. 962 00:53:10,373 --> 00:53:12,693 Speaker 3: Say as well, it is it is a fun thing 963 00:53:12,693 --> 00:53:16,333 Speaker 3: to say. You do you find that the stories translate 964 00:53:16,933 --> 00:53:20,693 Speaker 3: well beyond New Zealand. I have friends in the United States, 965 00:53:20,693 --> 00:53:22,853 Speaker 3: and whenever they you know, friends have children in the 966 00:53:22,973 --> 00:53:25,613 Speaker 3: United States, I always send them the complete Herry McCleary, 967 00:53:25,933 --> 00:53:28,973 Speaker 3: and I'm always amazed at, you know, without the kind 968 00:53:29,013 --> 00:53:32,693 Speaker 3: of cultural references that New Zealanders or even Brits might 969 00:53:32,733 --> 00:53:38,213 Speaker 3: see in the books, and how it seems to cross 970 00:53:38,253 --> 00:53:43,413 Speaker 3: those international borders and delights children, you know, whoever, completely 971 00:53:43,413 --> 00:53:44,693 Speaker 3: different context. 972 00:53:45,813 --> 00:53:50,013 Speaker 10: All there are dogs everywhere, cats everywhere. The things I 973 00:53:50,133 --> 00:53:54,973 Speaker 10: write about are international, and somehow everybody forgives me for 974 00:53:55,053 --> 00:54:00,853 Speaker 10: doing things that's slightly strange in a different setting. Although 975 00:54:01,573 --> 00:54:05,213 Speaker 10: funny enough, the poor Education department in Scotland got into 976 00:54:05,293 --> 00:54:09,933 Speaker 10: trouble for claiming Herry McCleary did they really were recommending him, 977 00:54:10,733 --> 00:54:14,293 Speaker 10: you know, the book for the readers in schools and whatnot, 978 00:54:14,333 --> 00:54:18,173 Speaker 10: and then suddenly gone to their embarrassment that he doesn't 979 00:54:18,173 --> 00:54:21,133 Speaker 10: come from Scotland. Well, I said to myself, how on 980 00:54:21,213 --> 00:54:25,533 Speaker 10: earth could you imagine that he did? When you actually 981 00:54:25,573 --> 00:54:29,373 Speaker 10: look at the pictures, they're nothing like New Zealand houses 982 00:54:29,613 --> 00:54:35,093 Speaker 10: got houses, don't have corrugated then ruins. No, I mean, 983 00:54:35,093 --> 00:54:38,373 Speaker 10: they really should have looked a little harder perhaps before 984 00:54:38,413 --> 00:54:42,413 Speaker 10: they made that decision. But I thought that was rather fun. 985 00:54:42,493 --> 00:54:42,733 Speaker 2: Really. 986 00:54:43,613 --> 00:54:47,053 Speaker 3: It must be the ultimate compliment to have your work 987 00:54:47,133 --> 00:54:49,933 Speaker 3: being claimed by other countries like that on the other 988 00:54:49,973 --> 00:54:51,693 Speaker 3: side of the world. There has to be a good sign. 989 00:54:51,773 --> 00:54:55,213 Speaker 10: I think it is a very exciting. I can tell 990 00:54:55,253 --> 00:54:58,333 Speaker 10: you I was really madly excited by that thing. I 991 00:54:58,453 --> 00:55:04,253 Speaker 10: wasn't offended. I just thought he's okay over there too, 992 00:55:04,413 --> 00:55:09,173 Speaker 10: So that's great problem. It's lovely. 993 00:55:10,013 --> 00:55:12,253 Speaker 3: I know you've got to go in a moment, but 994 00:55:13,093 --> 00:55:16,213 Speaker 3: are you still sketching, are you're still writing? You're still 995 00:55:16,213 --> 00:55:17,933 Speaker 3: playing with words? 996 00:55:18,173 --> 00:55:20,653 Speaker 10: I'm in a sort of lull period at the moment 997 00:55:20,733 --> 00:55:23,973 Speaker 10: because I've been so busy with other things, but I 998 00:55:24,013 --> 00:55:27,613 Speaker 10: can feel a slight urge coming on again. I've done 999 00:55:27,733 --> 00:55:32,293 Speaker 10: thirty three. There are thirty three books altogether, so they're 1000 00:55:32,573 --> 00:55:36,573 Speaker 10: the twenty one that a Harry McCurry and assorted others 1001 00:55:37,253 --> 00:55:41,813 Speaker 10: like Slinking the Linky and whatnot, and then other completely 1002 00:55:41,813 --> 00:55:46,133 Speaker 10: different ones on different subjects altogether, like The Smallest Turtle 1003 00:55:46,373 --> 00:55:48,053 Speaker 10: and various other ones. 1004 00:55:48,093 --> 00:55:53,453 Speaker 3: The Smallest Turtle is beautiful. It's so beautiful. It gets 1005 00:55:53,493 --> 00:55:57,053 Speaker 3: down to the cool, cool water on his body and yeah, 1006 00:55:57,093 --> 00:55:58,933 Speaker 3: it's a beautiful story. 1007 00:55:59,893 --> 00:56:02,773 Speaker 10: Thank you. I'm glad you like it. It certainly began 1008 00:56:02,893 --> 00:56:07,533 Speaker 10: with a TV program actually, the The Baby Turtle came, 1009 00:56:07,693 --> 00:56:12,413 Speaker 10: you know, typical David Attenborough and the family were mad 1010 00:56:12,493 --> 00:56:15,293 Speaker 10: keen on those and we were all sitting watching one 1011 00:56:15,333 --> 00:56:19,613 Speaker 10: Sunday afternoon and this turtle was baby Turtle was late. 1012 00:56:20,013 --> 00:56:22,613 Speaker 10: All the other turtles had already gone, and it was 1013 00:56:22,693 --> 00:56:26,653 Speaker 10: later coming up and it was going the wrong way, 1014 00:56:26,693 --> 00:56:29,693 Speaker 10: and the family were all saying turn it round, turn it. 1015 00:56:29,813 --> 00:56:33,053 Speaker 3: From yelling at the television. 1016 00:56:33,333 --> 00:56:38,973 Speaker 10: Yeah, so that's how that one began. Actually, I said 1017 00:56:38,973 --> 00:56:41,013 Speaker 10: I must have a book about the turtle that does 1018 00:56:41,093 --> 00:56:42,013 Speaker 10: get to see. 1019 00:56:42,493 --> 00:56:45,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to be very embarrassing here, Lindy. Do 1020 00:56:45,973 --> 00:56:48,453 Speaker 3: your publishers tell you? Does anyone keep a telling for 1021 00:56:48,493 --> 00:56:49,653 Speaker 3: how many books you sold? 1022 00:56:51,373 --> 00:56:54,693 Speaker 10: Well, people have been telling me since this excitement this week, 1023 00:56:54,773 --> 00:56:59,853 Speaker 10: have been telling me figures that I can hardly believe. Actually, yes, 1024 00:56:59,933 --> 00:57:05,133 Speaker 10: I do get an idea, but it's almost terrifying to 1025 00:57:05,213 --> 00:57:05,693 Speaker 10: hear them. 1026 00:57:06,133 --> 00:57:09,773 Speaker 3: What's the idea that other people say? What others say? 1027 00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,453 Speaker 10: Well, suddenly said somebody said to me this week, five Vinion. 1028 00:57:14,533 --> 00:57:18,453 Speaker 10: I think it was you know that that is a 1029 00:57:18,453 --> 00:57:20,813 Speaker 10: bit sort of overpowering. 1030 00:57:20,893 --> 00:57:26,093 Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I mean I I would be surprised if 1031 00:57:26,093 --> 00:57:30,293 Speaker 3: it were any fewer, I really would. I just think, Yeah, 1032 00:57:31,213 --> 00:57:36,173 Speaker 3: I think you have. You've brought delight to so so 1033 00:57:36,373 --> 00:57:40,173 Speaker 3: many people in so many countries, and and and it's 1034 00:57:40,213 --> 00:57:43,813 Speaker 3: now at a stage where you know that the children 1035 00:57:43,853 --> 00:57:46,653 Speaker 3: who grew up being read your stories and now the 1036 00:57:46,693 --> 00:57:49,053 Speaker 3: ones reading them to their children, and it's a it's 1037 00:57:49,053 --> 00:57:50,573 Speaker 3: an incredible legacy. 1038 00:57:50,653 --> 00:57:52,413 Speaker 10: That makes me feel like about one hundreds. 1039 00:57:52,453 --> 00:57:58,253 Speaker 3: So that's not what I'm suggesting for a moment, I know, Yeah, yeah, 1040 00:57:58,693 --> 00:58:00,213 Speaker 3: well you have. 1041 00:58:00,693 --> 00:58:03,773 Speaker 10: You have been very kind to me Jack, you wrote 1042 00:58:03,813 --> 00:58:08,053 Speaker 10: a lovely piece recently and I did appreciate what you said. 1043 00:58:08,093 --> 00:58:08,933 Speaker 10: It was so nice. 1044 00:58:09,213 --> 00:58:12,413 Speaker 3: No, the least I could do, like I say, the 1045 00:58:12,453 --> 00:58:14,853 Speaker 3: amount of joy you've brought our household alone, and then 1046 00:58:14,893 --> 00:58:17,573 Speaker 3: to think about how many times that's been replicated as 1047 00:58:17,613 --> 00:58:19,893 Speaker 3: a remarkable thing. So look, thank you so much for 1048 00:58:19,933 --> 00:58:20,733 Speaker 3: giving us your time. 1049 00:58:20,933 --> 00:58:23,693 Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you too, very much. 1050 00:58:24,213 --> 00:58:27,893 Speaker 3: We really appreciate it.

Get a carl one in. Jack, let's 1066 00:59:11,693 --> 00:59:13,853 Speaker 3: start off with the show streaming on Prime video. Tell 1067 00:59:13,933 --> 00:59:15,293 Speaker 3: us about Scar pitter. 1068 00:59:16,173 --> 00:59:18,133 Speaker 7: Well, a well read fellow like the South, Jack will 1069 00:59:18,173 --> 00:59:21,053 Speaker 7: be familiar with the scat Case Scarpetter novels. I'm sure 1070 00:59:21,533 --> 00:59:24,773 Speaker 7: Patricia Conwell's long running crime series has been hugely popular 1071 00:59:24,773 --> 00:59:27,293 Speaker 7: since the first book came out way back in nineteen ninety. 1072 00:59:27,773 --> 00:59:29,733 Speaker 7: They're still going strong now and then now there's twenty 1073 00:59:29,813 --> 00:59:34,613 Speaker 7: nine books in that series. Appropriately for a show with 1074 00:59:34,653 --> 00:59:38,453 Speaker 7: such a strong lineage there, it's led by star power. 1075 00:59:38,453 --> 00:59:41,933 Speaker 7: It's got Nicole Kinman as Case Scarpetter, the medical examiner 1076 00:59:42,533 --> 00:59:45,853 Speaker 7: who's quite genius with her forensic science, and Jamie Lee 1077 00:59:45,973 --> 00:59:50,253 Speaker 7: Curtis plays her sister Dorothy, and their chemistry together is 1078 00:59:50,533 --> 00:59:53,653 Speaker 7: one of the highlights of the show. They play sort 1079 00:59:53,693 --> 00:59:57,213 Speaker 7: of arguing sisters who haven't outgrown their childhood problems with 1080 00:59:57,293 --> 01:00:00,493 Speaker 7: each other. Now, the show doesn't follow a particular book. 1081 01:00:00,733 --> 01:00:03,133 Speaker 7: It sort of borrows bits and pieces from various ones 1082 01:00:03,133 --> 01:00:06,373 Speaker 7: and matches them together with an ai sort of subplot 1083 01:00:06,653 --> 01:00:10,693 Speaker 7: going on as well, which you suggests is a lot 1084 01:00:10,733 --> 01:00:13,493 Speaker 7: going on and there is, and there's almost too much 1085 01:00:13,693 --> 01:00:17,413 Speaker 7: going on. It has dual timelines, as the murder she's 1086 01:00:17,453 --> 01:00:21,013 Speaker 7: investigating now sort of collides with the first big murder 1087 01:00:21,053 --> 01:00:25,733 Speaker 7: she solved back in nineteen ninety. What's quite interesting about 1088 01:00:25,733 --> 01:00:28,853 Speaker 7: this is instead of doing the anti aging makeup or 1089 01:00:29,213 --> 01:00:33,773 Speaker 7: de aging via AI or computer graphics, they instead put 1090 01:00:33,773 --> 01:00:36,453 Speaker 7: a whole new cast for the nineteen ninety version of 1091 01:00:36,493 --> 01:00:39,933 Speaker 7: these characters, which does help in keeping track of where 1092 01:00:39,933 --> 01:00:42,573 Speaker 7: you are in the timeline in which case you're following, 1093 01:00:42,893 --> 01:00:45,573 Speaker 7: especially as the lines begin to blur and the you know, 1094 01:00:45,693 --> 01:00:48,733 Speaker 7: all those links and hints start to come into focus. 1095 01:00:49,013 --> 01:00:52,373 Speaker 7: So it is dempse attention demanding storytelling with a lot 1096 01:00:53,013 --> 01:00:56,293 Speaker 7: going on. Also doesn't shy away from grively murder scenes. 1097 01:00:56,653 --> 01:01:01,093 Speaker 7: And because Kidman's character Case Competita, is a medical examiner, 1098 01:01:01,133 --> 01:01:06,333 Speaker 7: you get some pretty pretty brutal autopsy scenes as well. Yeah, 1099 01:01:06,373 --> 01:01:07,493 Speaker 7: a little bit squeamish, so. 1100 01:01:07,773 --> 01:01:11,093 Speaker 3: Great, Yeah, right, don't be having you don't be having 1101 01:01:11,093 --> 01:01:14,293 Speaker 3: your lasagn you or your spaghetti meatballs as you're watching Scarpetter. 1102 01:01:15,253 --> 01:01:18,933 Speaker 7: Exactly correct, Yes, so it doesn't go oprom that at all. 1103 01:01:19,293 --> 01:01:21,653 Speaker 7: It's a it's a good show. The Myssy does intrigue 1104 01:01:21,653 --> 01:01:24,933 Speaker 7: and it's suspenseful. The pace can be a bit slow, 1105 01:01:25,253 --> 01:01:27,893 Speaker 7: and because of its long running prestige and all that, 1106 01:01:27,933 --> 01:01:30,253 Speaker 7: you know, the Case Carpeta novels really help define that 1107 01:01:30,453 --> 01:01:34,613 Speaker 7: forensic detective boom. It's not as great as I expected 1108 01:01:34,653 --> 01:01:36,933 Speaker 7: with all that star power and lineage behind it. 1109 01:01:37,573 --> 01:01:41,573 Speaker 3: Okay, that's Scarpitter, that's on Prime Video. Tell us about Crackhead. 1110 01:01:42,853 --> 01:01:44,893 Speaker 7: Yeah, what a great title, right, and for a lot 1111 01:01:44,973 --> 01:01:49,173 Speaker 7: of TV series, a fairly provocative one as well. As 1112 01:01:49,173 --> 01:01:50,973 Speaker 7: you may have guessed from that title. The show does 1113 01:01:51,013 --> 01:01:54,133 Speaker 7: deal with some pretty heavy themes, primarily drug addiction and 1114 01:01:54,213 --> 01:01:56,893 Speaker 7: mental health struggles, and in that regard it can be 1115 01:01:56,973 --> 01:02:00,773 Speaker 7: quite horroring viewing at times, but it's also very funny, 1116 01:02:00,893 --> 01:02:04,053 Speaker 7: and it's that balance that makes it such a bingeable watch. 1117 01:02:04,653 --> 01:02:07,573 Speaker 7: It's all pulled from creator and star. She's real life 1118 01:02:07,573 --> 01:02:10,773 Speaker 7: experience at a rehab when she was younger, and she 1119 01:02:10,893 --> 01:02:13,293 Speaker 7: brings all that authenticity to the show and with something 1120 01:02:13,293 --> 01:02:16,733 Speaker 7: that was really important to her when writing it. As 1121 01:02:16,733 --> 01:02:20,253 Speaker 7: follows her Kate Frankie, who goes to rehab after inadvertently 1122 01:02:20,333 --> 01:02:23,013 Speaker 7: burning down her sister's house while on a booze and 1123 01:02:23,053 --> 01:02:26,493 Speaker 7: drug fuel bender and you know, once you go to rehab, 1124 01:02:26,573 --> 01:02:30,453 Speaker 7: you're forced to confront your demons and get clean, and 1125 01:02:31,333 --> 01:02:34,333 Speaker 7: it ends up proving quite a chout environment. And it's 1126 01:02:34,333 --> 01:02:37,133 Speaker 7: based on, like I said, an actual her experience in 1127 01:02:37,173 --> 01:02:40,453 Speaker 7: an actual clinic. So it's a really raw look at, 1128 01:02:40,493 --> 01:02:43,293 Speaker 7: you know, treatments for addiction and mental health in the country, 1129 01:02:43,893 --> 01:02:46,573 Speaker 7: and it can be quite grim, but it can be 1130 01:02:47,173 --> 01:02:50,613 Speaker 7: incredibly funny. And some of that humor is quite outrageous. 1131 01:02:51,013 --> 01:02:54,573 Speaker 7: But that all comes together. The episodes really fly by. 1132 01:02:54,733 --> 01:02:57,733 Speaker 7: They're only sort of half an hour long, and they 1133 01:02:57,813 --> 01:03:01,213 Speaker 7: just grip you. And I think it's because you know, 1134 01:03:01,333 --> 01:03:04,573 Speaker 7: you see those movies or shows and their creator's vision 1135 01:03:04,693 --> 01:03:08,293 Speaker 7: really comes through. It's got a distinctive look and tone 1136 01:03:08,373 --> 01:03:11,373 Speaker 7: and style, and that's what's happening with the show. 1137 01:03:11,573 --> 01:03:12,173 Speaker 3: It's just. 1138 01:03:13,613 --> 01:03:17,053 Speaker 7: It has that unique voice really there.

Any experts Singapore are refining lease fuel than 1191 01:06:05,293 --> 01:06:07,693 Speaker 15: they typically have, so if that could create a limitation 1192 01:06:07,813 --> 01:06:08,573 Speaker 15: and teacher. 1193 01:06:08,373 --> 01:06:10,253 Speaker 8: What was lux on about Russian oil or South Korea 1194 01:06:10,293 --> 01:06:12,053 Speaker 8: goes by? Is Russian oil? Who cares well? 1195 01:06:12,133 --> 01:06:15,773 Speaker 15: Our current sanctions has focused on the refined products rather 1196 01:06:15,813 --> 01:06:18,773 Speaker 15: than where the fuel stuff was received from. It wouldn't 1197 01:06:18,773 --> 01:06:20,133 Speaker 15: affect New Zealand's ability to. 1198 01:06:20,213 --> 01:06:23,693 Speaker 8: Oh the irony, Nikolain, What a wacky old world in 1199 01:06:23,693 --> 01:06:27,093 Speaker 8: which we live. Back Monday from six am the Mic 1200 01:06:27,173 --> 01:06:30,293 Speaker 8: Hosking Breakfast with a Vida Newstalk zb. 1201 01:06:30,893 --> 01:06:34,253 Speaker 3: Nineteen minutes to eleven on Newstalk ZEDB. The US government 1202 01:06:34,333 --> 01:06:38,333 Speaker 3: wants to be the ones who control AI regulation. Our 1203 01:06:38,413 --> 01:06:40,933 Speaker 3: Textbo polstine House is here with the details This morning, 1204 01:06:41,013 --> 01:06:42,813 Speaker 3: Caldas any year. 1205 01:06:42,733 --> 01:06:46,013 Speaker 16: Good morning, they've put out a whole policy document Jack 1206 01:06:46,693 --> 01:06:49,973 Speaker 16: seven Key object seven key objectives from the Trump White 1207 01:06:49,973 --> 01:06:54,853 Speaker 16: House around AI. I'll give you the highlights. It places 1208 01:06:54,933 --> 01:06:58,573 Speaker 16: a lot of responsibility on parents when it comes to 1209 01:06:58,733 --> 01:07:02,653 Speaker 16: things like child safety, which I guess comes as no 1210 01:07:02,773 --> 01:07:07,093 Speaker 16: surprise really and I guess also coming is no surprise. 1211 01:07:07,253 --> 01:07:11,413 Speaker 16: Lays out what are basically soft and rather non binding 1212 01:07:11,493 --> 01:07:15,013 Speaker 16: expectations of the platforms when it comes to accountability for 1213 01:07:15,333 --> 01:07:18,653 Speaker 16: sticking to any of these regulations, again probably no surprise, 1214 01:07:18,773 --> 01:07:22,213 Speaker 16: But it is interesting that the US government, federally and 1215 01:07:22,373 --> 01:07:24,653 Speaker 16: centrally wants to take this on. They are saying that 1216 01:07:24,733 --> 01:07:27,053 Speaker 16: the reason for that is that they want to remove 1217 01:07:27,093 --> 01:07:30,973 Speaker 16: the unnecessary barriers to innovation, but they also say that 1218 01:07:31,013 --> 01:07:36,373 Speaker 16: it's because of national security and foreign policy reasons. So 1219 01:07:36,413 --> 01:07:39,693 Speaker 16: they really want to make sure that the innovation is there, 1220 01:07:39,733 --> 01:07:41,653 Speaker 16: there are no barriers, I guess, so that they can 1221 01:07:41,693 --> 01:07:44,813 Speaker 16: beat any other nation in order to make sure their 1222 01:07:44,853 --> 01:07:48,533 Speaker 16: AI is the best, as we've seen with the social 1223 01:07:48,613 --> 01:07:51,453 Speaker 16: media platforms over the years. There is some wording in 1224 01:07:51,493 --> 01:07:54,813 Speaker 16: this framework that basically tries to take away a lot 1225 01:07:54,853 --> 01:07:59,173 Speaker 16: of the control from the states, limit the amount that 1226 01:07:59,213 --> 01:08:04,813 Speaker 16: the states can do, especially around keeping the AI platforms. 1227 01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:10,093 Speaker 16: The AI developed is responsible for the actions the users take, right, 1228 01:08:10,173 --> 01:08:12,653 Speaker 16: so if you were a user that happened to do 1229 01:08:12,693 --> 01:08:16,293 Speaker 16: something bad using the data from that platform, there's some 1230 01:08:16,413 --> 01:08:19,533 Speaker 16: rather large kind of liability card outs there. And they 1231 01:08:19,613 --> 01:08:23,173 Speaker 16: also basically have drawn what is kind of a gray line, 1232 01:08:23,693 --> 01:08:25,453 Speaker 16: the kind of a little bit of a middle ground 1233 01:08:25,493 --> 01:08:28,573 Speaker 16: when it comes to copyright. They're basically leaning back on 1234 01:08:28,613 --> 01:08:33,213 Speaker 16: the fair use principles when it comes to using the content. 1235 01:08:33,333 --> 01:08:35,693 Speaker 16: They say that if the contents and the public domain, 1236 01:08:35,733 --> 01:08:38,213 Speaker 16: if you've published it, if it's out there, we want 1237 01:08:38,253 --> 01:08:40,253 Speaker 16: our AI to be the smartest and the most intelligent, 1238 01:08:40,333 --> 01:08:42,533 Speaker 16: so therefore it can use it, which I'm sure will 1239 01:08:42,573 --> 01:08:44,173 Speaker 16: ruffle a whole bunch of feathers. 1240 01:08:44,453 --> 01:08:46,493 Speaker 3: Yes, gosh, that's going to be interesting to see. Hey, 1241 01:08:46,573 --> 01:08:50,013 Speaker 3: were you a here hearing McCleary fan back in the day, of. 1242 01:08:49,933 --> 01:08:51,573 Speaker 16: Course Donson's dairy man. 1243 01:08:51,893 --> 01:08:54,333 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, go man. Now, I feel like there isn't 1244 01:08:54,333 --> 01:08:57,533 Speaker 3: a New Zealand household who doesn't delight in hearing McClary. Honestly, 1245 01:08:57,813 --> 01:09:00,213 Speaker 3: that name must be one of the most recognizable names 1246 01:09:00,253 --> 01:09:02,933 Speaker 3: in the country. But yeah, hey, thank you, Paul. That 1247 01:09:03,053 --> 01:09:05,333 Speaker 3: is very very interesting to be intriguing to see what 1248 01:09:05,413 --> 01:09:08,173 Speaker 3: kind of support slash pushback they get. But, like you say, 1249 01:09:08,253 --> 01:09:11,693 Speaker 3: pretty soft touch regulation from the US government at this stage. 1250 01:09:12,213 --> 01:09:14,893 Speaker 3: Seventeen to eleven on Newstalk se'd b before eleven o'clock 1251 01:09:14,933 --> 01:09:16,893 Speaker 3: we're in the garden.

The 1264 01:09:53,933 --> 01:09:57,293 Speaker 17: softness in this wine. It's simply over delivered. It's a 1265 01:09:57,333 --> 01:10:01,333 Speaker 17: classic blend through and through with lots of flavors of BlackBerry, 1266 01:10:01,373 --> 01:10:04,533 Speaker 17: a little bit of that tobacco component that comes from 1267 01:10:04,653 --> 01:10:09,373 Speaker 17: Cabinet's relationship with oak, Doris, plum olive, dried us smoky 1268 01:10:09,413 --> 01:10:15,333 Speaker 17: wood components.

So what would you match this with? 1271 01:10:21,053 --> 01:10:23,013 Speaker 3: It might be a good option as the weather starts 1272 01:10:23,053 --> 01:10:24,053 Speaker 3: to cool, right. 1273 01:10:24,373 --> 01:10:27,213 Speaker 17: Actually, you're quite right about that. It's people that are 1274 01:10:27,253 --> 01:10:32,053 Speaker 17: sort of doing that Jamie Oliver casserole Leana meat dish. 1275 01:10:32,253 --> 01:10:35,293 Speaker 17: And it's great with what I call lamb lollipops, which 1276 01:10:35,293 --> 01:10:38,813 Speaker 17: are the lamb cutlet's on the bone, or something as 1277 01:10:38,853 --> 01:10:41,133 Speaker 17: simple as a shepherd's pie with mashed potato on it. 1278 01:10:41,293 --> 01:10:44,413 Speaker 17: So this is a wine that loves to wrap itself 1279 01:10:44,453 --> 01:10:51,053 Speaker 17: around the earthy flavors of meat, potato, well cooked vegetables. 1280 01:10:52,213 --> 01:10:55,413 Speaker 3: Yeah.

Now you know what happened, right, Oh, 1406 01:17:21,733 --> 01:17:24,973 Speaker 3: I've known it, so it's realized. I'm really pleased we've 1407 01:17:25,013 --> 01:17:28,373 Speaker 3: sort of become the pomegranate one stop shop. And so 1408 01:17:28,413 --> 01:17:30,053 Speaker 3: I've got an email from Robert who's just sent me 1409 01:17:30,093 --> 01:17:34,093 Speaker 3: an email this week with a photograph of his pomegranate tree. 1410 01:17:34,133 --> 01:17:36,813 Speaker 3: He said, it's taken just on fifteen years for our 1411 01:17:36,853 --> 01:17:39,853 Speaker 3: pomegranate tree and Parmeston North to set fruit, and only 1412 01:17:40,053 --> 01:17:43,253 Speaker 3: one over the years that's flowered profusely. We had decided 1413 01:17:43,253 --> 01:17:45,773 Speaker 3: it was just an ornamental variety, but this year we 1414 01:17:45,933 --> 01:17:49,013 Speaker 3: got our first ever fruit another month or so, Togo, 1415 01:17:49,173 --> 01:17:50,813 Speaker 3: hopefully it'll be right. And he sent me through a 1416 01:17:50,853 --> 01:17:52,813 Speaker 3: photo it looks very much like the pomegranate at our place. 1417 01:17:52,853 --> 01:17:56,013 Speaker 3: So there you go. I think it's a phenomenon with them. 1418 01:17:56,053 --> 01:17:57,493 Speaker 3: I think that you just get maybe you just get 1419 01:17:57,573 --> 01:17:59,813 Speaker 3: one the first year when it finally does fruit. So 1420 01:18:00,053 --> 01:18:02,213 Speaker 3: he's hoping. Anyway, we will check in each week and 1421 01:18:02,413 --> 01:18:04,613 Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll have more pomegranate yarns this year. 1422 01:18:04,893 --> 01:18:07,493 Speaker 2: Yes, that's the key, this shind of stuff.

Hey, 1498 01:22:10,573 --> 01:22:13,493 Speaker 3: y Umbrella has just released it in your report, right, 1499 01:22:13,733 --> 01:22:16,453 Speaker 3: you do this huge study every year into the state 1500 01:22:16,493 --> 01:22:18,533 Speaker 3: of health and well being and workplaces, so just give 1501 01:22:18,613 --> 01:22:19,373 Speaker 3: us a bit of background. 1502 01:22:20,093 --> 01:22:23,013 Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is about the third or fourth time 1503 01:22:23,053 --> 01:22:25,573 Speaker 6: I think we've done an annual report and that we 1504 01:22:26,533 --> 01:22:28,333 Speaker 6: organizations come to us and say, hey, look, we really 1505 01:22:28,333 --> 01:22:30,773 Speaker 6: want to look at the health and wellbeing of our people, 1506 01:22:30,853 --> 01:22:32,613 Speaker 6: and we run a big survey with them. So we've 1507 01:22:32,893 --> 01:22:35,853 Speaker 6: over the past couple of years have surveyed eleven thousand people, 1508 01:22:35,893 --> 01:22:37,373 Speaker 6: which is quite a lot when you think about it, 1509 01:22:37,973 --> 01:22:41,573 Speaker 6: across more than thirty different organizations and just really getting 1510 01:22:41,653 --> 01:22:45,293 Speaker 6: a gauge on you know, their staff and how they're feeling, 1511 01:22:45,413 --> 01:22:47,853 Speaker 6: and how the organization is feeling. And then we try 1512 01:22:47,893 --> 01:22:50,373 Speaker 6: to pick out something that we think will be of 1513 01:22:50,493 --> 01:22:54,373 Speaker 6: interest or relevance to just everyday people and you know, 1514 01:22:54,733 --> 01:22:56,813 Speaker 6: and use that as as something to talk about, really 1515 01:22:56,853 --> 01:22:59,973 Speaker 6: about because we're keen on keeping people happy and well 1516 01:23:00,053 --> 01:23:02,773 Speaker 6: in their workplace. That's our whole it's our whole deal, really, 1517 01:23:02,893 --> 01:23:05,853 Speaker 6: and we know that the happier, the weller. I don't 1518 01:23:05,853 --> 01:23:08,693 Speaker 6: think that's the weller that people are in the workplace, 1519 01:23:08,773 --> 01:23:11,253 Speaker 6: the bear they work, and you know, it's it's it's 1520 01:23:11,373 --> 01:23:14,213 Speaker 6: it's good for everybody. So yeah, so this this year 1521 01:23:14,253 --> 01:23:16,613 Speaker 6: we were looking at that. Often we hear people say, oh, 1522 01:23:16,653 --> 01:23:19,653 Speaker 6: we're we're just looking at the physical health and safety 1523 01:23:19,773 --> 01:23:22,013 Speaker 6: risks at work and slips, strips and falls, and we 1524 01:23:22,613 --> 01:23:24,853 Speaker 6: won't look at the mental health stuff just yet. And 1525 01:23:25,253 --> 01:23:27,533 Speaker 6: I guess what we wanted to point out this time is, hey, 1526 01:23:27,613 --> 01:23:30,493 Speaker 6: these two are these two are intermingled. That you know, 1527 01:23:30,613 --> 01:23:34,253 Speaker 6: what you do physically affects what you how you experienced mentally, 1528 01:23:34,333 --> 01:23:37,773 Speaker 6: and what you what your mental health influences your behavior, 1529 01:23:37,813 --> 01:23:41,053 Speaker 6: and the two aren't separate. And so we we thought 1530 01:23:41,053 --> 01:23:43,213 Speaker 6: we'd pick out some you know, some key points from 1531 01:23:43,253 --> 01:23:45,493 Speaker 6: that just to sort of get a conversation going as 1532 01:23:45,573 --> 01:23:45,933 Speaker 6: much as. 1533 01:23:45,973 --> 01:23:47,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do that there. So so run us through 1534 01:23:48,093 --> 01:23:49,813 Speaker 3: some of the key findings from the survey. 1535 01:23:50,773 --> 01:23:53,653 Speaker 6: Yeah, so what we we found that more than half 1536 01:23:53,853 --> 01:23:57,693 Speaker 6: the workplaces that we surveyed were said they were looking 1537 01:23:57,693 --> 01:24:01,973 Speaker 6: they were struggling to manage their staff well being and health. 1538 01:24:02,133 --> 01:24:04,053 Speaker 6: So they they knew that it was an issue, but 1539 01:24:04,133 --> 01:24:05,973 Speaker 6: they didn't they didn't really know what to do, and 1540 01:24:06,013 --> 01:24:09,253 Speaker 6: they kind of understood that having happy, healthy people at 1541 01:24:09,293 --> 01:24:12,613 Speaker 6: work was good for good for business, good for productivity, 1542 01:24:12,693 --> 01:24:14,893 Speaker 6: good for people. So but they were still kind of 1543 01:24:14,933 --> 01:24:17,373 Speaker 6: not sure what to do. And we found that when 1544 01:24:17,413 --> 01:24:20,173 Speaker 6: we sort of drilled down, about a quarter of people 1545 01:24:20,293 --> 01:24:24,573 Speaker 6: that we surveyed were experiencing high all very high levels 1546 01:24:24,613 --> 01:24:28,133 Speaker 6: of distress. And those are things like anxiety and depression. 1547 01:24:29,133 --> 01:24:31,493 Speaker 6: And because of our clever people in the background, we 1548 01:24:31,533 --> 01:24:33,493 Speaker 6: could drill down even further and look at what of this, 1549 01:24:33,693 --> 01:24:36,933 Speaker 6: what were some of the things contributing to those and 1550 01:24:37,493 --> 01:24:39,933 Speaker 6: they were a mixture of like personal what you might 1551 01:24:40,013 --> 01:24:43,413 Speaker 6: call personal factors and work factors. So a lot of 1552 01:24:43,493 --> 01:24:47,533 Speaker 6: people are not getting enough sleep, a lot of people 1553 01:24:47,733 --> 01:24:50,293 Speaker 6: are not getting enough downtime, and are not able to 1554 01:24:50,373 --> 01:24:55,293 Speaker 6: eat as or to sustain a really balanced diet. And 1555 01:24:55,493 --> 01:24:59,413 Speaker 6: those things are really attribute contributing to their to their 1556 01:24:59,533 --> 01:25:01,413 Speaker 6: to their well being and their mental health. And that's, 1557 01:25:01,773 --> 01:25:04,773 Speaker 6: you know, and those are things primarily in somebody an 1558 01:25:04,813 --> 01:25:07,813 Speaker 6: individual's control. But there were also things in the workplace, 1559 01:25:08,053 --> 01:25:11,813 Speaker 6: like bully and harassment in the workplace or having a 1560 01:25:11,893 --> 01:25:15,493 Speaker 6: high workload. We're also big contributors. So it shows that 1561 01:25:15,573 --> 01:25:17,853 Speaker 6: there's sort of a you know, none of us bring 1562 01:25:18,013 --> 01:25:21,333 Speaker 6: to take off our home heads and park them at 1563 01:25:21,333 --> 01:25:24,453 Speaker 6: the door when we go to work. And you know, 1564 01:25:24,573 --> 01:25:27,293 Speaker 6: we bring stuff from work with us. Sorry, we bring 1565 01:25:27,333 --> 01:25:30,413 Speaker 6: stuff from home with us to work, and vice versa. 1566 01:25:30,493 --> 01:25:32,773 Speaker 6: We bring stuff from work home with us as well. 1567 01:25:33,653 --> 01:25:35,093 Speaker 6: And so we're trying to break down the sort of 1568 01:25:35,173 --> 01:25:39,893 Speaker 6: artificial distinction between home and work and between mental and 1569 01:25:40,013 --> 01:25:43,053 Speaker 6: physical health and just looking at people as whole people. 1570 01:25:43,133 --> 01:25:46,173 Speaker 3: Really, so, what can an employer do for something like 1571 01:25:46,293 --> 01:25:50,573 Speaker 3: that where employees aren't getting enough sleep for example, or 1572 01:25:50,733 --> 01:25:52,733 Speaker 3: you know, have a poor diet or something like that. 1573 01:25:53,013 --> 01:25:55,613 Speaker 3: Are there really many leaders that employers can actually pull. 1574 01:25:56,333 --> 01:25:59,973 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, I think that's a good question. There may 1575 01:26:00,093 --> 01:26:02,253 Speaker 6: not be, but equally then may and I think it's 1576 01:26:02,253 --> 01:26:04,213 Speaker 6: an easy excuse to go, oh, there's nothing we can 1577 01:26:04,253 --> 01:26:06,333 Speaker 6: do that's you know, that's about them. But yeah, you know, 1578 01:26:06,573 --> 01:26:09,493 Speaker 6: if you have shift workers, for example, we know that 1579 01:26:10,013 --> 01:26:13,173 Speaker 6: for example, night shifts are really in the long term, 1580 01:26:13,293 --> 01:26:16,453 Speaker 6: really bad for people's physical and mental health. It's a 1581 01:26:16,573 --> 01:26:20,693 Speaker 6: real that they can have a really big effect on 1582 01:26:20,813 --> 01:26:24,373 Speaker 6: people's well being. And so you know, looking at what 1583 01:26:24,453 --> 01:26:27,493 Speaker 6: they're doing around shift work, are people not sleeping because 1584 01:26:27,493 --> 01:26:29,973 Speaker 6: they're so stressed out about work? You know, I think 1585 01:26:30,013 --> 01:26:31,893 Speaker 6: a lot of people come home and they can't sleep 1586 01:26:31,933 --> 01:26:34,373 Speaker 6: at night because they're tossing and turning about work and 1587 01:26:34,773 --> 01:26:36,493 Speaker 6: it will they have a job and you know, how's 1588 01:26:36,533 --> 01:26:38,533 Speaker 6: productivity going and all that kind of thing and so 1589 01:26:39,613 --> 01:26:42,373 Speaker 6: and that's you know, somewhat at least in control of 1590 01:26:43,053 --> 01:26:43,773 Speaker 6: a workplace. 1591 01:26:44,293 --> 01:26:44,453 Speaker 5: Yea. 1592 01:26:45,933 --> 01:26:49,693 Speaker 6: So and often you know, if you think about logging 1593 01:26:49,773 --> 01:26:54,013 Speaker 6: companies or transport companies, sleep's obviously really crucial for those 1594 01:26:54,293 --> 01:26:57,053 Speaker 6: For those organizations, of course, because you don't want you know, 1595 01:26:57,133 --> 01:26:59,693 Speaker 6: you don't want your truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel. 1596 01:27:00,853 --> 01:27:02,573 Speaker 6: And so that you know, I know a number of 1597 01:27:02,613 --> 01:27:04,493 Speaker 6: transport companies are looking at things that they can do 1598 01:27:04,613 --> 01:27:08,373 Speaker 6: to support their staff to actually understand and get us 1599 01:27:08,653 --> 01:27:12,173 Speaker 6: get into some good sleep habits and sleep patterns, because 1600 01:27:12,573 --> 01:27:15,653 Speaker 6: that's that's great for safety, it's great for people's well being. 1601 01:27:15,773 --> 01:27:18,893 Speaker 6: So I think it involves you know, organizations and businesses 1602 01:27:18,933 --> 01:27:20,973 Speaker 6: having a think about is what is what can we do? 1603 01:27:21,133 --> 01:27:23,293 Speaker 6: Is there anything that we are contributing to this that 1604 01:27:23,413 --> 01:27:25,013 Speaker 6: we can then help people. 1605 01:27:24,853 --> 01:27:28,373 Speaker 3: With and do you find there's still a lot of 1606 01:27:28,453 --> 01:27:31,933 Speaker 3: resistance from workplaces who say, well, you know, this is 1607 01:27:32,053 --> 01:27:35,493 Speaker 3: all nice and good and maybe a little bit wooly 1608 01:27:35,653 --> 01:27:39,933 Speaker 3: in theory, but actually yeah, and that they perhaps don't 1609 01:27:39,973 --> 01:27:43,453 Speaker 3: appreciate that the better off their employees are, whether it's 1610 01:27:43,453 --> 01:27:47,133 Speaker 3: physical or mental health, generally, the more productive are. 1611 01:27:48,333 --> 01:27:50,053 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know what you mean.

And you know, so organizations, a lot 1618 01:28:07,213 --> 01:28:10,453 Speaker 18: of organizations and industries are now realizing that it's a 1619 01:28:10,493 --> 01:28:12,653 Speaker 18: big problem for them, we know, you know, mates and 1620 01:28:12,733 --> 01:28:15,093 Speaker 18: construction to heaps of really good work in the building 1621 01:28:15,573 --> 01:28:19,373 Speaker 18: area because they have some pretty pretty, you know, pretty 1622 01:28:19,693 --> 01:28:24,493 Speaker 18: dramatic figures around mental health problems in that workforce, and 1623 01:28:24,573 --> 01:28:27,813 Speaker 18: they're coming to realize that, hey, that's actually, that's actually 1624 01:28:27,853 --> 01:28:28,613 Speaker 18: something we need. 1625 01:28:28,533 --> 01:28:31,573 Speaker 6: To look at.

Actually, the owners of the 1753 01:35:08,653 --> 01:35:11,973 Speaker 19: McDonald's and Towpaw by the entrance to their drive through, 1754 01:35:12,013 --> 01:35:14,853 Speaker 19: they had this enormous wall that needed a bit of love, 1755 01:35:15,373 --> 01:35:18,293 Speaker 19: so they handed that over to Graffiato last year and 1756 01:35:18,413 --> 01:35:22,813 Speaker 19: it's been emblazoned by Decipher and swift mentis who Club 1757 01:35:22,893 --> 01:35:27,653 Speaker 19: Together and they've created this masterly chaotic kitchen theme and 1758 01:35:27,773 --> 01:35:31,413 Speaker 19: it's got all of these sort of cartoonish characters playing 1759 01:35:31,493 --> 01:35:33,933 Speaker 19: the leading roles. The funny thing, Jack is that the 1760 01:35:34,013 --> 01:35:38,493 Speaker 19: local kids in town. They apparently plead with their parents 1761 01:35:38,933 --> 01:35:42,173 Speaker 19: to take them through the drive through, not for the McDonald's, 1762 01:35:42,253 --> 01:35:44,733 Speaker 19: but so they can see the mural again and again. 1763 01:35:45,053 --> 01:35:46,613 Speaker 6: So good, that's good. 1764 01:35:46,893 --> 01:35:50,173 Speaker 3: Okay, So you've done that, You've done a few cultural hotspots. 1765 01:35:50,413 --> 01:35:52,493 Speaker 3: You've done a bit of exercise.

Jack, I think they're gonna the whole 1836 01:39:56,653 --> 01:40:00,373 Speaker 3: thing goes another bit, honestly. Yeah, there's not a bad call. 1837 01:40:00,613 --> 01:40:01,653 Speaker 20: Well they were good like that. 1838 01:40:01,893 --> 01:40:03,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, my gosh, to get. 1839 01:40:03,773 --> 01:40:06,653 Speaker 20: To to to be fair, the Highlanders weren't grow. I 1840 01:40:06,733 --> 01:40:10,013 Speaker 20: didn't think on home soil under the roof there to 1841 01:40:10,093 --> 01:40:13,653 Speaker 20: ship fifty against the Hurricanes, who were very good. But yeah, 1842 01:40:13,693 --> 01:40:15,373 Speaker 20: some of the defending in the second half from the 1843 01:40:15,413 --> 01:40:18,973 Speaker 20: Highlanders wasn't particularly eye catching. But you play what's in 1844 01:40:18,973 --> 01:40:20,613 Speaker 20: front of you and the ball speed. But you know, 1845 01:40:20,773 --> 01:40:24,733 Speaker 20: threw hands from the Hurricanes and you know the number 1846 01:40:24,733 --> 01:40:27,133 Speaker 20: of tries scored out why but also Cam royguard water 1847 01:40:27,213 --> 01:40:30,013 Speaker 20: player Jack. My goodness, we've known this obviously for a while. 1848 01:40:30,053 --> 01:40:32,093 Speaker 20: But the way he snipe's coast, the line scoroes tries 1849 01:40:32,333 --> 01:40:33,373 Speaker 20: sets up us outside. 1850 01:40:33,493 --> 01:40:36,773 Speaker 3: Really, he's really that, he's really defined his game with 1851 01:40:36,853 --> 01:40:39,413 Speaker 3: that sniping. I don't think I heard the term sniping 1852 01:40:39,453 --> 01:40:41,853 Speaker 3: until I watched Cam Royert. I means heerious, Yeah, like 1853 01:40:41,973 --> 01:40:44,813 Speaker 3: he's yeah, yeah, it's quite it's quite something to behold. 1854 01:40:44,933 --> 01:40:46,613 Speaker 20: Yeah, So Rubin loves on the show after one o'clock, 1855 01:40:46,653 --> 01:40:48,453 Speaker 20: looking forward to chatting to him on the other side 1856 01:40:48,453 --> 01:40:50,893 Speaker 20: of the coin. The Chiefs threw away a twenty four 1857 01:40:50,933 --> 01:40:53,533 Speaker 20: to seven lead with twenty minutes to go to lose 1858 01:40:53,573 --> 01:40:55,773 Speaker 20: thirty three twenty four to the Brumby. So what happened there? 1859 01:40:56,213 --> 01:40:57,973 Speaker 20: That coach John o'gibs going to join us to try 1860 01:40:58,013 --> 01:41:00,573 Speaker 20: and explain that to us too. So run away try 1861 01:41:01,093 --> 01:41:03,933 Speaker 20: seventy eighth minute. You can just imagine how the tesse 1862 01:41:03,973 --> 01:41:06,813 Speaker 20: of feeling knowing that they had that lead and seeing 1863 01:41:06,853 --> 01:41:09,573 Speaker 20: that moment and just oh my god, see you later. 1864 01:41:09,533 --> 01:41:10,173 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. 1865 01:41:10,333 --> 01:41:12,333 Speaker 20: So yeah, so some rugby chat after one, but also 1866 01:41:12,413 --> 01:41:15,893 Speaker 20: some grassroots rugby chat today story out of Christchurch today 1867 01:41:15,933 --> 01:41:17,733 Speaker 20: that there are a number of teams in that part 1868 01:41:17,733 --> 01:41:20,133 Speaker 20: of the country and I can only assume other parts too, 1869 01:41:20,173 --> 01:41:23,053 Speaker 20: who are having trouble fielding senior teams because they don't 1870 01:41:23,053 --> 01:41:25,573 Speaker 20: have enough front rowers. They don't have enough people who 1871 01:41:25,613 --> 01:41:27,293 Speaker 20: want to play prop or hooker. 1872 01:41:27,613 --> 01:41:28,213 Speaker 3: Fascinating. 1873 01:41:28,293 --> 01:41:30,853 Speaker 20: Yeah, and it's obviously an important part because not only 1874 01:41:30,893 --> 01:41:33,493 Speaker 20: do you need front rowers, you need front row reserves 1875 01:41:33,573 --> 01:41:35,893 Speaker 20: as well, so you need five or six guys and 1876 01:41:36,013 --> 01:41:39,013 Speaker 20: every team who can do that job. And whether it's 1877 01:41:39,133 --> 01:41:42,093 Speaker 20: like just not fashionable for kids to play in those positions, 1878 01:41:42,453 --> 01:41:44,733 Speaker 20: whether you know, the big boppers just aren't around as 1879 01:41:44,813 --> 01:41:47,933 Speaker 20: much as they used to be, it's actually a fairly 1880 01:41:48,213 --> 01:41:50,893 Speaker 20: clear and present danger to club rugby that they don't 1881 01:41:50,933 --> 01:41:53,853 Speaker 20: have enough front row forwards. At the junior end of things, 1882 01:41:53,973 --> 01:41:55,733 Speaker 20: a lot of clubs around the country are now starting 1883 01:41:55,773 --> 01:41:59,533 Speaker 20: to scrap junior registration fees because with you know, the 1884 01:41:59,613 --> 01:42:01,573 Speaker 20: cost of living being what it is, sometimes the things 1885 01:42:01,613 --> 01:42:04,493 Speaker 20: that are sacrificed are things like sport for the kids. Yeah, 1886 01:42:04,573 --> 01:42:06,133 Speaker 20: so a lot of clubs that say, okay, we'll come 1887 01:42:06,133 --> 01:42:09,493 Speaker 20: and play for free, just to open up the excess. 1888 01:42:09,533 --> 01:42:11,693 Speaker 20: But of course they rely on junior sub says part 1889 01:42:11,693 --> 01:42:13,773 Speaker 20: of their balance sheet, don't they. How do they find 1890 01:42:13,853 --> 01:42:15,933 Speaker 20: the balance between those two things? So yeah, a couple 1891 01:42:15,973 --> 01:42:19,533 Speaker 20: of grassroots are rugby issues after midday Super Rugby after 1892 01:42:19,613 --> 01:42:21,613 Speaker 20: one and then yeah, all left see that it's their 1893 01:42:21,653 --> 01:42:26,173 Speaker 20: fiftieth match this afternoon, their fiftieth match. Francis de Ree 1894 01:42:26,213 --> 01:42:29,733 Speaker 20: has started all forty nine. Man, what a player, what 1895 01:42:29,853 --> 01:42:31,333 Speaker 20: a llega. Yeah, I know he's on the show too 1896 01:42:31,773 --> 01:42:35,533 Speaker 20: after two o'clock to engage. He did, he did, and 1897 01:42:35,773 --> 01:42:37,373 Speaker 20: he's off to the World Cup with the well once. 1898 01:42:37,413 --> 01:42:39,933 Speaker 20: What a time it's been for Francis de Ree. But 1899 01:42:40,653 --> 01:42:42,093 Speaker 20: it's been a long and winding road. You know, he 1900 01:42:42,133 --> 01:42:44,173 Speaker 20: had a lot he had it hasn't made a straight 1901 01:42:44,213 --> 01:42:45,733 Speaker 20: line to get here. Yeah, so it's so good on 1902 01:42:45,813 --> 01:42:48,653 Speaker 20: him for making Hay while the sunshine They could still. 1903 01:42:48,853 --> 01:42:50,293 Speaker 3: I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but 1904 01:42:50,373 --> 01:42:53,053 Speaker 3: that performance last weekend has put them right back in 1905 01:42:53,133 --> 01:42:54,933 Speaker 3: the equation for the for the Premius. 1906 01:42:54,613 --> 01:42:56,853 Speaker 20: Play, just one point behind. I think they'll come over 1907 01:42:56,853 --> 01:42:58,893 Speaker 20: the top of Newcastle, I really do. I just think 1908 01:42:58,973 --> 01:43:01,893 Speaker 20: it just feels now as though their favorites again to 1909 01:43:01,933 --> 01:43:03,973 Speaker 20: win that played five games to go. The odd part 1910 01:43:04,013 --> 01:43:06,573 Speaker 20: of this, Jack, is that both Newcastle and Auckland fe 1911 01:43:07,013 --> 01:43:09,853 Speaker 20: play the same five teams. Yeah, and the last five days, 1912 01:43:10,213 --> 01:43:12,533 Speaker 20: so no one's got the easier running.

Now, Good 1926 01:43:46,773 --> 01:43:51,253 Speaker 3: morning Catherine, Good morning Jack. Okay, let's begin with the 1927 01:43:51,333 --> 01:43:54,253 Speaker 3: latest from John Lancaster. Tell us about Look What You 1928 01:43:54,373 --> 01:43:54,773 Speaker 3: Made Me Do? 1929 01:43:56,133 --> 01:43:58,293 Speaker 14: So this is quite a dark story. It's going to 1930 01:43:58,293 --> 01:44:00,253 Speaker 14: be a humor in it too, and it's about Kate 1931 01:44:00,373 --> 01:44:02,613 Speaker 14: and Jack, who have been married for thirty years and 1932 01:44:02,693 --> 01:44:05,413 Speaker 14: the I'm a middle class couple going back their lives 1933 01:44:05,533 --> 01:44:07,773 Speaker 14: friends dinner par you know, they tell those kind of 1934 01:44:07,853 --> 01:44:12,173 Speaker 14: inside jokes and nicknames and references and nothing particularly remarkable 1935 01:44:12,213 --> 01:44:15,933 Speaker 14: about either of them. And then Katie's lives turn upside 1936 01:44:15,973 --> 01:44:19,133 Speaker 14: down when Jack dies and she struggles to come to 1937 01:44:19,253 --> 01:44:22,853 Speaker 14: term with it, and you know, after a number of months, 1938 01:44:22,933 --> 01:44:25,733 Speaker 14: she starts to find out things about Jack that she 1939 01:44:25,853 --> 01:44:28,253 Speaker 14: didn't really know about. And this is where a woman 1940 01:44:28,293 --> 01:44:30,693 Speaker 14: called Phoebe Mull comes into the story, and she's just 1941 01:44:30,813 --> 01:44:33,053 Speaker 14: created this TV show which has turned out to be 1942 01:44:33,093 --> 01:44:35,573 Speaker 14: the next big thing, a show called Cheats about a 1943 01:44:35,693 --> 01:44:38,453 Speaker 14: man and his younger mistress and uses a lot of 1944 01:44:38,533 --> 01:44:43,173 Speaker 14: this marital material that Kate really recognizes, and she notices 1945 01:44:43,213 --> 01:44:46,413 Speaker 14: similarities between her and Jack's lives and only things that 1946 01:44:46,533 --> 01:44:49,293 Speaker 14: they would know about. And here it is on the screen, 1947 01:44:49,373 --> 01:44:52,453 Speaker 14: exposed for everyone to see, and she just cannot work 1948 01:44:52,493 --> 01:44:55,133 Speaker 14: out what's going on. And you get these chapters that 1949 01:44:55,253 --> 01:44:57,693 Speaker 14: are also extracts of the film script and kind of 1950 01:44:57,733 --> 01:44:59,973 Speaker 14: give you some insight into the TV series as well. 1951 01:45:00,293 --> 01:45:02,533 Speaker 14: And it's told from two point of view Kate and Phoebe. 1952 01:45:03,053 --> 01:45:06,213 Speaker 14: And it's this book really about revenge and with just 1953 01:45:06,533 --> 01:45:09,693 Speaker 14: utter determination to ruin someone's life whether they deserve it 1954 01:45:09,773 --> 01:45:12,933 Speaker 14: or not. And so you get these relationships and responsibilities 1955 01:45:13,053 --> 01:45:15,493 Speaker 14: and people a who are pointing the blame but anyone 1956 01:45:15,533 --> 01:45:18,693 Speaker 14: else instead of really probably taking account for their own actions. 1957 01:45:18,813 --> 01:45:21,933 Speaker 14: But John Lancaster can certainly write a very good story 1958 01:45:22,053 --> 01:45:23,933 Speaker 14: and that dark humor certainly comes through. 1959 01:45:24,573 --> 01:45:24,853 Speaker 5: Great. 1960 01:45:25,013 --> 01:45:27,053 Speaker 3: Okay, this sounds really good.

And that landscape and you know, that 1987 01:46:44,653 --> 01:46:47,213 Speaker 14: vastness of it plays so well into the story as well. 1988 01:46:47,413 --> 01:46:51,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, that kind of solitude day and the real remoteness 1989 01:46:51,653 --> 01:46:54,613 Speaker 3: of it all that sounds great.

Right, 2043 01:49:54,013 --> 01:49:57,093 Speaker 21: it's very accessible. This band is very accessible. All their 2044 01:49:57,133 --> 01:50:02,253 Speaker 21: music videos are cartoon characters. Kids actually love it because 2045 01:50:02,253 --> 01:50:05,573 Speaker 21: of that, but when you actually listen to it, it's 2046 01:50:05,613 --> 01:50:08,773 Speaker 21: a bit. It's a little it's a neat trick they pulled. 2047 01:50:09,573 --> 01:50:12,013 Speaker 21: They deliver these quite heavy themes on you, and this 2048 01:50:12,173 --> 01:50:17,253 Speaker 21: is about death and grief, lighten it up with this 2049 01:50:17,453 --> 01:50:20,933 Speaker 21: kind of like yeah, almost like a circus atmosphere. The 2050 01:50:21,053 --> 01:50:24,533 Speaker 21: other thing they're doing here is that he's got voices 2051 01:50:24,613 --> 01:50:27,533 Speaker 21: from all these collaborators. Over the years, he saved up 2052 01:50:27,573 --> 01:50:31,053 Speaker 21: all these audio files, he snippets from the studio, and 2053 01:50:31,173 --> 01:50:36,053 Speaker 21: even people who who have been long since died are 2054 01:50:36,133 --> 01:50:37,973 Speaker 21: featured on his album. So he's sitting and listening to 2055 01:50:38,013 --> 01:50:41,333 Speaker 21: it and suddenly Bob Bobby Womack turns up the actor 2056 01:50:41,373 --> 01:50:43,373 Speaker 21: Dennis Hopper, his voice. 2057 01:50:43,173 --> 01:50:43,613 Speaker 2: Is in there. 2058 01:50:44,373 --> 01:50:44,613 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2059 01:50:44,813 --> 01:50:46,293 Speaker 21: And then the craziest story. 2060 01:50:46,893 --> 01:50:50,413 Speaker 3: Posthumous posthumous contributors. 2061 01:50:50,573 --> 01:50:53,733 Speaker 21: Yeah right, Yes, it's that kind of weird mix of 2062 01:50:53,813 --> 01:50:56,293 Speaker 21: the past in the present.

So there's 2071 01:51:26,133 --> 01:51:29,013 Speaker 21: just eerie moments like that sort does this come out 2072 01:51:29,093 --> 01:51:31,973 Speaker 21: the more you listen to it, it's a pretty like 2073 01:51:32,253 --> 01:51:35,573 Speaker 21: thrilling listen you when you get into the nitty gritty 2074 01:51:35,613 --> 01:51:36,773 Speaker 21: of it, like you do want to listen to it 2075 01:51:36,813 --> 01:51:40,373 Speaker 21: from start to finish because it is a full album experience. 2076 01:51:41,253 --> 01:51:43,813 Speaker 3: And is it kind of melancholic because they do have 2077 01:51:43,893 --> 01:51:46,573 Speaker 3: a bit of a melancholic Yeah, yeah, right vibe. 2078 01:51:46,773 --> 01:51:49,933 Speaker 21: Domon Albahn strikes me as a pretty depressive sort of type. 2079 01:51:49,973 --> 01:51:54,293 Speaker 21: I mean everything he's sings sounds kind of morose and mournful. 2080 01:51:55,133 --> 01:51:57,293 Speaker 21: He just is that kind of guy. I mean, blues 2081 01:51:57,293 --> 01:51:59,493 Speaker 21: albums are full of those kind of ballads, right, that's 2082 01:51:59,493 --> 01:52:01,853 Speaker 21: what he loves them for. But he does that here, 2083 01:52:01,893 --> 01:52:03,893 Speaker 21: and that is the sort of glue that holds us together. 2084 01:52:03,973 --> 01:52:06,773 Speaker 21: His voice floats in and out of all these other 2085 01:52:07,773 --> 01:52:11,173 Speaker 21: collaborators and all the instruments that he's got going on here. 2086 01:52:11,213 --> 01:52:13,293 Speaker 21: I mean, there's so many different instruments here. You're going 2087 01:52:13,333 --> 01:52:15,453 Speaker 21: to hear flutes and sitars and you know, all this 2088 01:52:15,613 --> 01:52:18,693 Speaker 21: crazy stuff. But yeah, then there's his voice. You did right. 2089 01:52:19,013 --> 01:52:23,173 Speaker 21: It's it's him holding it together. It's this kind of sorrowful, 2090 01:52:23,973 --> 01:52:27,293 Speaker 21: mournful thing going on. But it's not sad. It's not 2091 01:52:27,373 --> 01:52:29,173 Speaker 21: a sad album. I didn't listen to this and feel 2092 01:52:29,293 --> 01:52:33,693 Speaker 21: like depressed or sad. I felt it's quite uplifting and 2093 01:52:33,773 --> 01:52:36,373 Speaker 21: it's got that like those circus melodies like that song 2094 01:52:36,413 --> 01:52:38,453 Speaker 21: you played earlier. It's got that running through it too. 2095 01:52:39,093 --> 01:52:41,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, not very good, So what did you give it? 2096 01:52:42,973 --> 01:52:45,173 Speaker 21: I love this album. This has really got to me. 2097 01:52:45,253 --> 01:52:46,893 Speaker 21: I don't know, it just speaks to me about this 2098 01:52:47,013 --> 01:52:49,493 Speaker 21: moment I think something about it. So I'm four stars. 2099 01:52:49,533 --> 01:52:50,333 Speaker 5: I'm all in on this. 2100 01:52:50,493 --> 01:52:53,533 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm very good.

So, 2102 01:52:57,533 --> 01:52:59,813 Speaker 3: but that the way you've described it really does sound 2103 01:52:59,853 --> 01:53:01,173 Speaker 3: like a bit of me. Hey, are you going to 2104 01:53:01,253 --> 01:53:01,933 Speaker 3: Synthony tonight? 2105 01:53:02,973 --> 01:53:06,013 Speaker 21: Yeah, it's the it's the last kind of big sort 2106 01:53:06,053 --> 01:53:08,613 Speaker 21: of some festival if you like. It's not really summer anymore, 2107 01:53:08,613 --> 01:53:10,773 Speaker 21: but this is the swan song of what we've all 2108 01:53:10,893 --> 01:53:12,933 Speaker 21: just been through with Electric Avenue and Lane Way.

It's huge. 2112 01:53:23,573 --> 01:53:26,373 Speaker 21: People don't understand that this thing is like different part 2113 01:53:26,533 --> 01:53:28,933 Speaker 21: like kinds of iterations of it are touring the world 2114 01:53:29,013 --> 01:53:31,053 Speaker 21: almost like Cirt di Silay. You know, there's all these 2115 01:53:31,093 --> 01:53:34,413 Speaker 21: different delays that play in different parts of the world. 2116 01:53:35,013 --> 01:53:37,813 Speaker 21: It's the same thing.

They're opening hotels in Vegas, they're 2118 01:53:41,413 --> 01:53:47,453 Speaker 21: on the Formula one starting grid sometimes playing it's it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, 2119 01:53:47,533 --> 01:53:49,933 Speaker 21: it's if you go and look at everything they're doing. 2120 01:53:50,213 --> 01:53:52,573 Speaker 3: You know, there's like on the Formula one starting grid. 2121 01:53:53,533 --> 01:53:54,573 Speaker 6: Yeah, they have open. 2122 01:53:54,453 --> 01:53:58,693 Speaker 21: Formula ones, They've opened hotels.
