Is 6 00:00:51,773 --> 00:00:55,293 Speaker 2: it any wonder that eighty percent of the way through 7 00:00:55,453 --> 00:00:59,453 Speaker 2: his epic effort, his teen ten ten project, keyw musician 8 00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:04,573 Speaker 2: Troy Kingey started to feel his creativity waan. It wasn't 9 00:01:04,573 --> 00:01:06,733 Speaker 2: that he had writer's block, It was just that he 10 00:01:06,813 --> 00:01:10,133 Speaker 2: didn't really know what was good anymore. He didn't have 11 00:01:10,253 --> 00:01:13,933 Speaker 2: faith in what his creativity was producing. So what did 12 00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:17,733 Speaker 2: Troy do? Did he continue the same old Did he 13 00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:20,013 Speaker 2: look for some new books or TV shows to give 14 00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:20,773 Speaker 2: him inspiration? 15 00:01:20,973 --> 00:01:21,093 Speaker 3: Na? 16 00:01:21,253 --> 00:01:24,413 Speaker 2: Na, no, no, no, no no. Troy Kingy went to 17 00:01:24,493 --> 00:01:27,933 Speaker 2: the middle of the desert Joshua Tree in California in 18 00:01:27,933 --> 00:01:33,213 Speaker 2: the United States, forty degrees celsius every single day, and 19 00:01:33,253 --> 00:01:36,533 Speaker 2: he took magic mushrooms. Troy Kingy is going to be 20 00:01:36,613 --> 00:01:38,853 Speaker 2: with us after ten o'clock this morning to tell us 21 00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:42,053 Speaker 2: how that ended up and what it resulted in with 22 00:01:42,093 --> 00:01:45,293 Speaker 2: his incredible new album as well as that we've got 23 00:01:45,333 --> 00:01:47,693 Speaker 2: a delicious recipe for you before ten o'clock. It's a 24 00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,733 Speaker 2: little bit of a springtime warmer, a really simple recipe 25 00:01:50,733 --> 00:01:52,933 Speaker 2: for impressing your friends if they're coming around for a 26 00:01:52,973 --> 00:01:54,813 Speaker 2: bit of a feed. But actually you don't want to 27 00:01:54,813 --> 00:01:56,333 Speaker 2: put in too much efforts, so I'll share that with 28 00:01:56,373 --> 00:01:58,853 Speaker 2: you very shortly. Right now it is eight minutes past nine, 29 00:01:59,573 --> 00:02:02,893 Speaker 2: Jack dam You know what, I'm a slave to social 30 00:02:02,973 --> 00:02:08,413 Speaker 2: media and it drives me nuts. I feel compelled to 31 00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:11,653 Speaker 2: have Twitter or x and I feel compelled to have 32 00:02:11,693 --> 00:02:16,013 Speaker 2: Facebook as well, mainly for work. I have Instagram for socializing, 33 00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:20,253 Speaker 2: and I wisely never touch TikTok because from all accounts, 34 00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:22,453 Speaker 2: that's the most addictive platform of the lot. But what 35 00:02:22,613 --> 00:02:27,293 Speaker 2: I have three active social media platforms, and I feel 36 00:02:27,293 --> 00:02:30,253 Speaker 2: like I have to battle to stop myself from reflexively 37 00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:33,613 Speaker 2: picking up my phone and checking the gram. So I 38 00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:36,413 Speaker 2: can only imagine how hard it is for the generations 39 00:02:36,813 --> 00:02:40,373 Speaker 2: who have never known a world without smartphones to try 40 00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:45,613 Speaker 2: and get off social media. It's addictive, right. Australia now 41 00:02:45,613 --> 00:02:47,613 Speaker 2: looks set to forward ahead with a ban on social 42 00:02:47,653 --> 00:02:50,093 Speaker 2: media for young people. The South Australian government is going 43 00:02:50,133 --> 00:02:52,093 Speaker 2: to ban it for kids under the age of fourteen 44 00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:55,653 Speaker 2: and put the onus on the platforms to use age 45 00:02:55,733 --> 00:03:00,093 Speaker 2: verification tools in making sure that younger kids aren't setting 46 00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:03,333 Speaker 2: up accounts. Fourteen and fifteen year olds will need to 47 00:03:03,373 --> 00:03:09,093 Speaker 2: get explicit parental permission to access likes of Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, 48 00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:14,813 Speaker 2: and x. But is that excessive? Is it too much? 49 00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:19,653 Speaker 2: Is social media really comparable to booze or tobacco? And 50 00:03:20,693 --> 00:03:23,693 Speaker 2: if it's causing harm, is it really the state's job 51 00:03:23,973 --> 00:03:28,373 Speaker 2: to step in? Is it government's job. I'm a huge 52 00:03:28,373 --> 00:03:31,853 Speaker 2: fan of the work of the US social psychologist Jonathan Hayite. 53 00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,853 Speaker 2: He's the author of The Coddling of the American Mind. 54 00:03:35,733 --> 00:03:40,013 Speaker 2: He says that over protection from parents and schools has 55 00:03:40,093 --> 00:03:44,013 Speaker 2: caused young people to be less resilient than in the past. Basically, 56 00:03:44,053 --> 00:03:46,573 Speaker 2: we have been coddling our young people too much. We've 57 00:03:46,613 --> 00:03:49,653 Speaker 2: been saying yes too much, and that as a result, 58 00:03:49,893 --> 00:03:52,053 Speaker 2: we have a generation of young people who are less 59 00:03:52,093 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 2: resilient personally. I think there's a lot in that I do, 60 00:03:57,333 --> 00:04:00,293 Speaker 2: but I also agree with him the lot of social 61 00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:05,173 Speaker 2: and psychological damage in young people stems directly from social media. 62 00:04:06,493 --> 00:04:09,573 Speaker 2: Phones until high school and keep kids off social media 63 00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:13,293 Speaker 2: until at least this until at least the age of sixteen. 64 00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:17,093 Speaker 2: Jonathan Hite says, don't you think it's crazy that social 65 00:04:17,133 --> 00:04:20,933 Speaker 2: media executives openly admit they refuse to let their own 66 00:04:21,013 --> 00:04:23,413 Speaker 2: kids use the platforms while claiming it's all good for 67 00:04:23,453 --> 00:04:28,253 Speaker 2: everyone else's I personally supported the phone ban in schools. 68 00:04:28,733 --> 00:04:31,573 Speaker 2: I just think it's common sense, and in a way 69 00:04:32,933 --> 00:04:37,013 Speaker 2: this is the same because it's a collective action problem. Right. 70 00:04:37,293 --> 00:04:39,213 Speaker 2: So at the moment, parents know that if they let 71 00:04:39,253 --> 00:04:41,653 Speaker 2: their kid on social media at a young age, even 72 00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:44,933 Speaker 2: at thirteen, which is the stated age limit for many 73 00:04:44,973 --> 00:04:49,053 Speaker 2: of the platforms, it is potentially doing them harm or 74 00:04:49,093 --> 00:04:53,933 Speaker 2: contributing to harm in their social groups. But if they 75 00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:58,173 Speaker 2: deny their kid any social media platforms, parents often feel 76 00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:01,453 Speaker 2: that the child runs the risk of being socially ostracized. 77 00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:05,213 Speaker 2: And look, it's easy to say this now given our 78 00:05:05,253 --> 00:05:08,733 Speaker 2: boys only seven, but I would like to think that 79 00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:12,173 Speaker 2: if in the future it's a binary choice between letting 80 00:05:12,253 --> 00:05:16,453 Speaker 2: him access social media when he's really young or supporting 81 00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:20,093 Speaker 2: him if he gets stick because lots of his classmates 82 00:05:20,133 --> 00:05:22,213 Speaker 2: are online and he's not allowed to be, well, I 83 00:05:22,213 --> 00:05:26,053 Speaker 2: would still take the latter option. Maybe I'm just maybe 84 00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:28,133 Speaker 2: I'm a bit of old school. I'm a bit strict, right, 85 00:05:28,293 --> 00:05:30,533 Speaker 2: I would still say sorry, it doesn't matter if all 86 00:05:30,533 --> 00:05:32,933 Speaker 2: your mates are on there, you're not getting social media. 87 00:05:33,853 --> 00:05:36,893 Speaker 2: But the thing about regulation is that if the government 88 00:05:36,933 --> 00:05:39,773 Speaker 2: stepped in, it would mean there is a collective standard, 89 00:05:40,093 --> 00:05:43,573 Speaker 2: the same rules for everyone right across the board. And 90 00:05:43,653 --> 00:05:46,893 Speaker 2: if we can agree that an unregulated system for social 91 00:05:46,933 --> 00:05:51,253 Speaker 2: media is doing our kids harm, well, perhaps it is 92 00:05:51,333 --> 00:05:56,093 Speaker 2: time to consider something different.

Radio doesn't do your bad. Doesn't do your harm, 105 00:06:29,533 --> 00:06:31,933 Speaker 2: does it, Jack? Come on, this is just a precursor 106 00:06:31,973 --> 00:06:34,373 Speaker 2: to the banning of information across the board. The state 107 00:06:34,453 --> 00:06:37,253 Speaker 2: only wants information that's approved to reach anyone, not just 108 00:06:37,373 --> 00:06:39,933 Speaker 2: young people. This is the thought police. This is an 109 00:06:39,973 --> 00:06:42,813 Speaker 2: angle to get us under control. Nineteen eighty four, says Adrian. 110 00:06:42,853 --> 00:06:45,173 Speaker 2: I think it's a bit extreme, Adrian. So I just 111 00:06:45,213 --> 00:06:50,693 Speaker 2: asked Libby, who is a gen Zia gen z producer 112 00:06:50,733 --> 00:06:54,293 Speaker 2: of the show. I said, would you support given you 113 00:06:54,293 --> 00:06:56,973 Speaker 2: you've only known the Internet age, you can't remember a 114 00:06:56,973 --> 00:07:00,093 Speaker 2: time before smartphones, would you support banning social media for 115 00:07:00,293 --> 00:07:03,573 Speaker 2: kids under fourteen and parental consent up to sixteen? And 116 00:07:03,613 --> 00:07:06,293 Speaker 2: Libby said yes. See, this is the curious thing. If 117 00:07:07,053 --> 00:07:09,653 Speaker 2: they did the study in the US where they asked 118 00:07:09,733 --> 00:07:12,053 Speaker 2: young people. The Surgeon General in the United States asked 119 00:07:12,053 --> 00:07:14,613 Speaker 2: young people, do you support banning social media? And they 120 00:07:14,613 --> 00:07:17,413 Speaker 2: said no. And they said do you want to get 121 00:07:17,413 --> 00:07:19,533 Speaker 2: off social media? And they said no. And they said 122 00:07:20,013 --> 00:07:22,413 Speaker 2: would you want to get off social media if all 123 00:07:22,453 --> 00:07:26,333 Speaker 2: of your friends were off social media? And everyone said yes? 124 00:07:27,253 --> 00:07:29,573 Speaker 2: Interesting ninety ninety two. If you've got some thoughts on that, 125 00:07:29,693 --> 00:07:32,613 Speaker 2: Jack at newstalksz'db dot co dot n Z. Kevin Milne 126 00:07:32,773 --> 00:07:33,733 Speaker 2: is with us this morning. 127 00:07:33,813 --> 00:07:38,533 Speaker 4: Kilder Kevin, get morning, Jack and me he wiki or trel. 128 00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:45,093 Speaker 2: Mary nowl Mary then Kevin very good. Yeah, it's it's 129 00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:47,533 Speaker 2: two wiki with dear Earl Marty kicking off? Now, are 130 00:07:47,573 --> 00:07:50,093 Speaker 2: you what do you think about banning social media for 131 00:07:50,493 --> 00:07:50,973 Speaker 2: young people? 132 00:07:51,453 --> 00:07:54,893 Speaker 4: I don't like the idea of banning anything, right because 133 00:07:55,173 --> 00:07:57,693 Speaker 4: because banning's so often unsuccessful. 134 00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:00,773 Speaker 2: Well except except that if you think about it with 135 00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:04,333 Speaker 2: like booze. Right, So people under the age of eighteen 136 00:08:04,373 --> 00:08:07,453 Speaker 2: are banned. Now, of course many of them can still 137 00:08:07,493 --> 00:08:10,293 Speaker 2: access they can still access alcohol, but it sets a 138 00:08:10,293 --> 00:08:13,213 Speaker 2: collective standard and it certainly makes it more difficult, right, 139 00:08:13,853 --> 00:08:15,693 Speaker 2: Like if we imagine if we didn't have a band 140 00:08:15,733 --> 00:08:19,773 Speaker 2: for under eighteens on alcohol, Yep, yeah, it'll probably be different, right. 141 00:08:19,813 --> 00:08:22,653 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I get your point. I'm actually not 142 00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:25,133 Speaker 2: a big banner myself, but I do think there is 143 00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:29,893 Speaker 2: meriton at the very least regulating social media. Speaking of 144 00:08:29,933 --> 00:08:32,653 Speaker 2: social media, it was a wash this week with the 145 00:08:32,693 --> 00:08:37,213 Speaker 2: many memes that came out of the US presidential candidates debate, 146 00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:40,373 Speaker 2: and that most memorable line of all has reminded you 147 00:08:40,413 --> 00:08:42,453 Speaker 2: of a scandal in your christ Church childhood. 148 00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:47,693 Speaker 4: I'm astonished Jack, really that I sometimes bets on what 149 00:08:47,773 --> 00:08:51,493 Speaker 4: I think you're going to talk about, and this was 150 00:08:51,533 --> 00:08:55,653 Speaker 4: the easiest one. This was the easiest one. You're the 151 00:08:55,773 --> 00:08:59,933 Speaker 4: highlight jar of your week. Must have been the debate. 152 00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:05,533 Speaker 2: After the show? Absolutely, No, the debate was. It was incredible. 153 00:09:05,533 --> 00:09:08,573 Speaker 2: It was an incredible thing to watch, and yeah, remarkable 154 00:09:08,613 --> 00:09:09,413 Speaker 2: to see the fallout. 155 00:09:10,293 --> 00:09:13,373 Speaker 4: I'm not even really politico in that sense that I 156 00:09:13,453 --> 00:09:15,613 Speaker 4: was sitting in front of the TV on what was 157 00:09:15,653 --> 00:09:18,733 Speaker 4: at Wednesday and waiting for it to come on, like 158 00:09:18,813 --> 00:09:22,053 Speaker 4: I was waiting for a test match. Yeah, and it 159 00:09:22,213 --> 00:09:26,133 Speaker 4: was just so exciting. And then, of course, and we're 160 00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:29,333 Speaker 4: going off piece here a bit, but Trump's story about 161 00:09:29,333 --> 00:09:31,613 Speaker 4: the pets being eaten in Springfield, Ohio? 162 00:09:32,293 --> 00:09:33,253 Speaker 5: Was it? 163 00:09:33,893 --> 00:09:36,013 Speaker 4: Because I think you're quite an expert in this area, 164 00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:39,213 Speaker 4: and in fact came on the TV later on to 165 00:09:39,253 --> 00:09:41,813 Speaker 4: talk about this. But do you think that was the 166 00:09:41,853 --> 00:09:47,333 Speaker 4: most the sort of the a bigger political calamity for 167 00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:51,613 Speaker 4: him than anything Biden said or did during his previous debate? 168 00:09:51,853 --> 00:09:54,733 Speaker 2: Ah? Yeah, well it was almost what Biden didn't say 169 00:09:54,813 --> 00:09:56,693 Speaker 2: or do in his last debate that was the problem, 170 00:09:56,773 --> 00:10:00,173 Speaker 2: wasn't it? Like he was sort of so incoherent in 171 00:10:00,213 --> 00:10:02,373 Speaker 2: that debate. And when I watched the Biden debate, I 172 00:10:02,373 --> 00:10:04,173 Speaker 2: mean I came on the show the next morning and 173 00:10:04,213 --> 00:10:07,253 Speaker 2: said instantly that I thought Biden would never be president again. 174 00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:09,133 Speaker 2: I thought that was it. I thought I thought it 175 00:10:09,133 --> 00:10:13,293 Speaker 2: was unrecoverable. I don't think that Trump's errors were unrecoverable. 176 00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:16,653 Speaker 2: I don't think this will stop them necessarily from being president. 177 00:10:16,693 --> 00:10:19,573 Speaker 2: I don't think it helped him. But it was certainly 178 00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:22,373 Speaker 2: a wild thing to say. Put it this way, I was. 179 00:10:22,453 --> 00:10:24,573 Speaker 2: I was clipping up the little the key moments of 180 00:10:24,613 --> 00:10:27,213 Speaker 2: the debate, and the moment I heard him say they're 181 00:10:27,213 --> 00:10:32,253 Speaker 2: eating cats, they're eating dogs, I said, okay, editing, we're 182 00:10:32,253 --> 00:10:38,813 Speaker 2: going to need this. Yeah, hello, hello, yeah yeah. And 183 00:10:38,893 --> 00:10:40,533 Speaker 2: so it reminded you of christ Kevin. 184 00:10:41,253 --> 00:10:46,093 Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah. I was reading about the fact checkers 185 00:10:46,133 --> 00:10:49,533 Speaker 4: that established that the story had started with I think 186 00:10:49,573 --> 00:10:53,293 Speaker 4: a single social media post from some kid? Was that, right, Jack? 187 00:10:53,533 --> 00:10:54,133 Speaker 4: From a kid? 188 00:10:54,653 --> 00:10:58,973 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it was on Facebook. It started on Facebook. 189 00:10:59,053 --> 00:11:02,693 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. But it never offered any evidence. The story 190 00:11:02,773 --> 00:11:06,253 Speaker 4: was never verified, and no complaint was ever lodged, and 191 00:11:06,653 --> 00:11:09,733 Speaker 4: Springfield's officials were now in a position to say that 192 00:11:09,813 --> 00:11:13,293 Speaker 4: they believe it never happened. The story went on to 193 00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:17,893 Speaker 4: say that there's a history of totally incorrect stories from 194 00:11:17,933 --> 00:11:22,893 Speaker 4: all over the world involving new immigrants eating other people's pets. 195 00:11:23,733 --> 00:11:27,813 Speaker 4: And I suddenly get this flashback tack something I've forgotten 196 00:11:27,893 --> 00:11:31,093 Speaker 4: for years. I remember as a kid in christ Church, 197 00:11:31,133 --> 00:11:34,293 Speaker 4: I was about ten, I think, hearing a story many 198 00:11:34,413 --> 00:11:38,893 Speaker 4: times about dead cats being found in the rubbishmin of 199 00:11:38,973 --> 00:11:44,293 Speaker 4: one of christ Church's first Chinese restaurants. It was a 200 00:11:44,293 --> 00:11:48,093 Speaker 4: fantastic story, but I believed it because I eventually got 201 00:11:48,093 --> 00:11:50,373 Speaker 4: to hear the same story so often it had to 202 00:11:50,373 --> 00:11:54,213 Speaker 4: be true. I passed the story on myself many times. 203 00:11:55,093 --> 00:11:58,093 Speaker 4: Back then in christ Church, very very few people ever 204 00:11:58,133 --> 00:12:01,173 Speaker 4: went to a Chinese restaurant. They were scared of them. 205 00:12:01,413 --> 00:12:03,573 Speaker 4: Who knows, you know what was to be served up? 206 00:12:04,293 --> 00:12:08,093 Speaker 4: And it's only now, after all these years, does it 207 00:12:08,093 --> 00:12:10,773 Speaker 4: occurred to me, I bet that story was a lie 208 00:12:10,893 --> 00:12:16,133 Speaker 4: to based entirely on ignorance and racism. The only difference 209 00:12:16,333 --> 00:12:19,893 Speaker 4: was I was a ten year old nobody, and the 210 00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:23,413 Speaker 4: man that told lie about the HEIGHTI the Haiti immigrants 211 00:12:24,013 --> 00:12:30,053 Speaker 4: was running for president of the United States. There were 212 00:12:30,093 --> 00:12:32,213 Speaker 4: so many things on that debate. Weren't the jack that, 213 00:12:32,933 --> 00:12:35,533 Speaker 4: you know, the fact that he reckoned he could stop 214 00:12:35,613 --> 00:12:41,693 Speaker 4: the the Ukraine War even before it had got to office. Yeah, 215 00:12:42,133 --> 00:12:42,813 Speaker 4: sort of stuff. 216 00:12:42,933 --> 00:12:47,413 Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's certainly some pretty bold and sometimes 217 00:12:47,413 --> 00:12:50,533 Speaker 2: outlandish calls. I mean, the thing that was interesting with 218 00:12:50,613 --> 00:12:54,493 Speaker 2: the Cats and the Dogs was that it was pretty 219 00:12:54,533 --> 00:12:58,733 Speaker 2: soundly robutted immediately, not just by the moderators but by 220 00:12:58,733 --> 00:13:02,613 Speaker 2: everyone else going and fact checking that story. But yeah, 221 00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:05,133 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it was kind of Donald Trump and 222 00:13:05,213 --> 00:13:07,853 Speaker 2: Donald Trump that the the thing I always, you know, 223 00:13:07,973 --> 00:13:10,613 Speaker 2: would say, though, is that Donald Trump being Donald Trump 224 00:13:10,613 --> 00:13:13,493 Speaker 2: has won many tens of millions of votes in the past. Yeah, 225 00:13:13,573 --> 00:13:15,813 Speaker 2: that's right, you know, I don't actually, you know, I 226 00:13:15,813 --> 00:13:18,253 Speaker 2: think that maybe some people were a little to who 227 00:13:18,293 --> 00:13:20,093 Speaker 2: don't want to see Trump be president, were a little 228 00:13:20,093 --> 00:13:23,693 Speaker 2: too gleeful afterwards, and have actually forgotten. Probably the guys 229 00:13:23,693 --> 00:13:27,413 Speaker 2: were very successful by bucking the you know, the traditional 230 00:13:27,453 --> 00:13:29,333 Speaker 2: political trends and norms. 231 00:13:29,413 --> 00:13:31,933 Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, yes, no, I'd be one of those. 232 00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:34,493 Speaker 4: What did you think of those moderators? I was thinking 233 00:13:35,013 --> 00:13:37,693 Speaker 4: when I was looking at that guy, I thought Jack 234 00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:40,493 Speaker 4: Camee will be looking at that bloke and saying, I 235 00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:44,853 Speaker 4: want to be him. Honestly, he was like you. He 236 00:13:44,973 --> 00:13:46,853 Speaker 4: was like you, but with an American accent. 237 00:13:47,013 --> 00:13:50,053 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's Yeah, yeah, I think he's got 238 00:13:50,093 --> 00:13:52,053 Speaker 2: a little bit further in his career than I overwell 239 00:13:52,053 --> 00:13:52,453 Speaker 2: give him. 240 00:13:52,453 --> 00:13:55,373 Speaker 4: But I wouldn't say I wouldn't I wouldn't rule that out. 241 00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:55,813 Speaker 6: Yeah. 242 00:13:55,893 --> 00:14:00,613 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's so cool, so cool. 243 00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:02,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I thought they did a pretty good job. 244 00:14:03,013 --> 00:14:05,613 Speaker 2: I actually wondered if they should have fact checked that one, 245 00:14:05,693 --> 00:14:07,613 Speaker 2: given that son of kind of seem so absurd. I 246 00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,173 Speaker 2: wonder if they should have just let it past and 247 00:14:09,213 --> 00:14:12,493 Speaker 2: that Carmela fact you get if she wanted. But anyway, 248 00:14:12,533 --> 00:14:14,493 Speaker 2: has had a lot of attention over the last few days. 249 00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:16,133 Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Kevin, and thank you for your text. 250 00:14:16,213 --> 00:14:16,413 Speaker 4: Jack. 251 00:14:16,453 --> 00:14:18,293 Speaker 2: It's simple. Any kids who want to get around a 252 00:14:18,293 --> 00:14:20,373 Speaker 2: social media ban will be able to use a VPN. 253 00:14:20,813 --> 00:14:22,613 Speaker 2: This is true, Ben. They will be able to use 254 00:14:22,613 --> 00:14:25,693 Speaker 2: a VPN, They will be able to use technological solutions. 255 00:14:25,773 --> 00:14:29,173 Speaker 2: Kids are industriss kids are smart, but it still puts 256 00:14:29,173 --> 00:14:31,253 Speaker 2: another barrier in right and in order for them to 257 00:14:31,253 --> 00:14:33,733 Speaker 2: do that, it's going to be a real pain. And 258 00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:36,413 Speaker 2: the whole design of the Australian laws as they stand 259 00:14:37,053 --> 00:14:39,253 Speaker 2: is that it puts the onus on the social media platforms, 260 00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:42,293 Speaker 2: so they've got to use their technology to verify the 261 00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:44,853 Speaker 2: age and identity of their users. Dean sent me a 262 00:14:44,893 --> 00:14:46,213 Speaker 2: note to say, Jack, as much as I'm a sent 263 00:14:46,253 --> 00:14:49,333 Speaker 2: to write libertarian, I agree with the proposed social media 264 00:14:49,373 --> 00:14:51,453 Speaker 2: ban for people under sixteen, much like I agree with 265 00:14:51,533 --> 00:14:54,293 Speaker 2: National's ban on cell phones for students during school hours. 266 00:14:54,413 --> 00:14:57,093 Speaker 2: There's plenty of evidence that social media has many, many 267 00:14:57,173 --> 00:14:59,733 Speaker 2: negative impacts on young people, not the least that they 268 00:14:59,813 --> 00:15:02,053 Speaker 2: distract them from doing more important things with their time, 269 00:15:02,133 --> 00:15:06,253 Speaker 2: like getting a decent education, which current statistics suggest isn't happening. 270 00:15:06,613 --> 00:15:08,333 Speaker 2: Ninety two ninety two. If you want to send me 271 00:15:08,373 --> 00:15:14,773 Speaker 2: your thoughts, it's twenty four past nine. 272 00:15:15,933 --> 00:15:17,613 Speaker 7: Getting your weekends started. 273 00:15:17,773 --> 00:15:21,333 Speaker 1: It's Saturday Morning with Jack team on News TALKSVB. 274 00:15:21,653 --> 00:15:23,693 Speaker 2: I reckon. There are half a dozen TV shows at 275 00:15:23,733 --> 00:15:25,773 Speaker 2: the moment that I get really excited about when they 276 00:15:25,813 --> 00:15:28,493 Speaker 2: release a new series. So I love the like the 277 00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:32,413 Speaker 2: Tour de France and the Formula one shows on Netflix. 278 00:15:32,453 --> 00:15:35,933 Speaker 2: You know, if one drive to survive Tour de France unchained, 279 00:15:35,933 --> 00:15:38,973 Speaker 2: the kind of behind the scenes competition shows. Love those 280 00:15:39,613 --> 00:15:43,733 Speaker 2: and I absolutely love the show Slow Horses. It's on 281 00:15:43,893 --> 00:15:48,293 Speaker 2: Apple TV Plus. It's kind of a spy drama comedy 282 00:15:48,373 --> 00:15:51,493 Speaker 2: set in the UK. Gary Oldman's the main character. They 283 00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:53,253 Speaker 2: are four or five seasons deep now, but they've just 284 00:15:53,293 --> 00:15:56,453 Speaker 2: released a brand new series of Slow Horses. It's had massive, 285 00:15:56,453 --> 00:15:58,173 Speaker 2: massive success around the world. So we're going to tell 286 00:15:58,173 --> 00:15:59,853 Speaker 2: you about that after ten o'clock this morning, so you 287 00:15:59,933 --> 00:16:02,533 Speaker 2: can watch it as well.

What 291 00:16:13,453 --> 00:16:16,573 Speaker 2: did you make of the Black Ferns and King Charles. 292 00:16:16,653 --> 00:16:20,373 Speaker 2: I thought that was of the many viral moments that 293 00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:22,653 Speaker 2: the Black Ferns and Seven Sisters have given us over 294 00:16:22,653 --> 00:16:24,533 Speaker 2: the years, that was right up near the top, because 295 00:16:24,573 --> 00:16:27,293 Speaker 2: he seemed like genuinely delighted. 296 00:16:28,173 --> 00:16:32,293 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think it's probably number one when it 297 00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:36,333 Speaker 8: comes to Black Ferns viral moments. Of course, winning the 298 00:16:36,373 --> 00:16:39,573 Speaker 8: World Cup stands alone at the top, but winning the 299 00:16:39,613 --> 00:16:42,653 Speaker 8: most recent World Cup that is at Eaton Park. But yeah, 300 00:16:43,533 --> 00:16:48,973 Speaker 8: he looked he looked genuine and honestly happy and having 301 00:16:49,093 --> 00:16:52,293 Speaker 8: fun and didn't mind being hard. Not only by two 302 00:16:52,373 --> 00:16:54,253 Speaker 8: or three players once, but then a couple came in 303 00:16:54,293 --> 00:16:59,173 Speaker 8: from the side, and then he took some selfies at 304 00:16:59,173 --> 00:17:03,413 Speaker 8: the bottom of this the major the massive staircase at 305 00:17:03,413 --> 00:17:05,933 Speaker 8: the Palace, he had a group photo on that. In 306 00:17:05,973 --> 00:17:07,893 Speaker 8: the player We're getting a few selfies here and the 307 00:17:07,973 --> 00:17:10,573 Speaker 8: end it just likely looked like he was having a 308 00:17:10,613 --> 00:17:15,733 Speaker 8: great time. There's a very genuine and I think something 309 00:17:15,893 --> 00:17:19,813 Speaker 8: like that would earn a more street crewed and brownie 310 00:17:19,853 --> 00:17:23,773 Speaker 8: points with people all around the world than kissing babies 311 00:17:23,813 --> 00:17:25,733 Speaker 8: and marching up and down shaking hands, right. 312 00:17:25,813 --> 00:17:28,373 Speaker 2: I totally agree. I totally agree. So the Black Ferns 313 00:17:28,373 --> 00:17:31,653 Speaker 2: are playing at Twickenham versus Red Roses tomorrow morning. Help 314 00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:32,013 Speaker 2: us won. 315 00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:37,933 Speaker 8: Yeah, looking forward to this because it is at number one. Secondly, 316 00:17:37,973 --> 00:17:40,573 Speaker 8: I think they've pre sold about fifty thousand tickets, which 317 00:17:40,653 --> 00:17:45,253 Speaker 8: is fantastic. So you're looking at a big, big crowd, 318 00:17:46,093 --> 00:17:48,893 Speaker 8: England top of its game. John Mitchell coaches and now 319 00:17:48,973 --> 00:17:53,893 Speaker 8: former All Blacks coach and the Black Ferns and I 320 00:17:53,973 --> 00:17:57,013 Speaker 8: think maybe not the same team they were they were 321 00:17:57,333 --> 00:17:59,413 Speaker 8: when they won the last World Cup, but sort of 322 00:17:59,413 --> 00:18:02,053 Speaker 8: getting back to that a heck of a lot of 323 00:18:02,093 --> 00:18:06,053 Speaker 8: new faces in the team and some stalwarts and some 324 00:18:06,613 --> 00:18:10,213 Speaker 8: outstanding talent. And I just love the way the Black 325 00:18:10,213 --> 00:18:12,133 Speaker 8: Frimens and some of these other teams throw the ball 326 00:18:12,173 --> 00:18:16,613 Speaker 8: around and attack, attack more the the women's game, more 327 00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:21,613 Speaker 8: rather less confrontational or less defense oriented than the men's game. 328 00:18:21,773 --> 00:18:23,573 Speaker 8: And a lot of the time it's more exciting to what. 329 00:18:23,653 --> 00:18:25,733 Speaker 2: Yeah it is it really is. No, that'll be great. 330 00:18:25,733 --> 00:18:28,733 Speaker 2: So one thirty tomorrow morning, the Black Ferns versus Red Roses. 331 00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:31,053 Speaker 2: What are you making of the Super Rugby format change? 332 00:18:31,093 --> 00:18:32,613 Speaker 2: So we go from a top eight to top six? 333 00:18:32,693 --> 00:18:34,853 Speaker 8: Now have you tried to work it out? 334 00:18:35,653 --> 00:18:37,653 Speaker 2: I just that was the top line I needed. All 335 00:18:37,693 --> 00:18:40,653 Speaker 2: I remember was that painful exercise last season trying to 336 00:18:40,693 --> 00:18:43,293 Speaker 2: work out if the Crusaders could mathematically make it, and 337 00:18:43,333 --> 00:18:45,893 Speaker 2: it seemed like they mathematically could for far longer than 338 00:18:45,933 --> 00:18:47,133 Speaker 2: they should have really been able to. 339 00:18:48,133 --> 00:18:52,013 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm the positive as it's gone from eight out 340 00:18:52,053 --> 00:18:55,733 Speaker 8: of twelve to six out of eleven because the Melbourne 341 00:18:55,773 --> 00:18:59,293 Speaker 8: Rebels are no more but rugby again. I think sort 342 00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:02,693 Speaker 8: of shoots itself in the foot with a confusing final 343 00:19:02,853 --> 00:19:06,853 Speaker 8: system where the top six to make it, the three 344 00:19:06,893 --> 00:19:09,933 Speaker 8: winners from the first round of playoffs go through and 345 00:19:10,293 --> 00:19:14,293 Speaker 8: hard seeded loser goes through. I don't know, and you 346 00:19:14,413 --> 00:19:17,573 Speaker 8: see NRL. I think this weekend some teams get a 347 00:19:17,653 --> 00:19:20,693 Speaker 8: last if they lose a second chance. But I don't 348 00:19:20,733 --> 00:19:23,213 Speaker 8: know many other sports pro sports around the world who 349 00:19:23,213 --> 00:19:27,293 Speaker 8: have knockout playoff systems where you can actually lose and 350 00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:29,893 Speaker 8: still make it true. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 351 00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:34,613 Speaker 8: It makes sense in the regard that the competition organizers 352 00:19:34,653 --> 00:19:37,453 Speaker 8: are desperate to have an Australian side in the playoffs 353 00:19:37,493 --> 00:19:41,733 Speaker 8: and that pretty much guarantees that by having a top 354 00:19:41,773 --> 00:19:43,773 Speaker 8: six rather than the top four. If you had a 355 00:19:43,813 --> 00:19:46,453 Speaker 8: top four, it'd be the fear from an officials point 356 00:19:46,493 --> 00:19:48,453 Speaker 8: of view, that it'll be all New Zealand teams, which 357 00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:51,573 Speaker 8: are probably would, but the competition has I think the 358 00:19:51,573 --> 00:19:55,093 Speaker 8: competition is a lot more concerns than just playoff formats. 359 00:19:56,373 --> 00:19:59,653 Speaker 8: The numbers of viewers and the numbers of those attending 360 00:19:59,693 --> 00:20:03,533 Speaker 8: in Australia is terrible. It needs a massive lift in 361 00:20:03,573 --> 00:20:06,133 Speaker 8: Australia and a massive lift all round. There is some 362 00:20:06,173 --> 00:20:08,653 Speaker 8: tour talk of them bringing in a couple of Japanese 363 00:20:08,693 --> 00:20:11,093 Speaker 8: teams or even a couple of South African teams, which 364 00:20:11,213 --> 00:20:13,813 Speaker 8: is a must I think in the long term future 365 00:20:13,893 --> 00:20:16,693 Speaker 8: and the new TV deal begins, I think twenty twenty six, 366 00:20:16,773 --> 00:20:19,253 Speaker 8: that's a major birdles they're going to have to overcome 367 00:20:19,333 --> 00:20:20,253 Speaker 8: or sign off as well. 368 00:20:20,573 --> 00:20:23,933 Speaker 2: David Nicer Fight Night tonight. I presume you're you being 369 00:20:23,933 --> 00:20:25,613 Speaker 2: there on the front row. Will you say I'm enjoying 370 00:20:25,613 --> 00:20:28,253 Speaker 2: a night quite or whatever it is? 371 00:20:28,333 --> 00:20:33,493 Speaker 8: Yeah, but no, it's great to see Docal Events putting 372 00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:35,853 Speaker 8: boxing back on. It's been four long years. I've had 373 00:20:35,893 --> 00:20:41,213 Speaker 8: to go through COVID during that. Yeah, other challenges.

David Nicer, clean cut, 376 00:20:48,653 --> 00:20:52,173 Speaker 8: heck of a nice chap, very good boxer, very good 377 00:20:52,173 --> 00:20:55,693 Speaker 8: technical boxer, done so well in the amateur ranks, and 378 00:20:55,733 --> 00:20:58,893 Speaker 8: now he has fought several times as approach. Now it's 379 00:20:58,893 --> 00:21:01,973 Speaker 8: his chance to shine as the top building in a 380 00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:05,733 Speaker 8: home promotion, which is basically I think he's twenty nine, 381 00:21:05,813 --> 00:21:11,373 Speaker 8: he's he's he's coming into his prime as an athlete 382 00:21:11,373 --> 00:21:13,293 Speaker 8: and a boxer, and I think we're going to see 383 00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:16,173 Speaker 8: bit things come in a near future from David Naka. 384 00:21:16,293 --> 00:21:19,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I totally agree, Thank you, Sev.

He recorded it 392 00:21:44,053 --> 00:21:48,573 Speaker 2: at this amazing recording studio near Joshua Tree in California. 393 00:21:48,653 --> 00:21:52,973 Speaker 2: This place called Rancho della Luna, so Ranch of the Moon, 394 00:21:54,053 --> 00:21:57,213 Speaker 2: and he really went out to the desert seeking some inspiration. 395 00:21:57,333 --> 00:21:59,453 Speaker 2: So he's going to tell us about his spiritual and 396 00:21:59,493 --> 00:22:01,973 Speaker 2: creative journey when he's with us after ten o'clock this morning. 397 00:22:02,213 --> 00:22:04,693 Speaker 2: Next up, though your film picks for this weekend.

For developing minds 403 00:22:36,493 --> 00:22:39,853 Speaker 2: and of questionable value for adults as a society. I 404 00:22:39,893 --> 00:22:42,013 Speaker 2: think it makes us less social. I think it makes 405 00:22:42,053 --> 00:22:44,413 Speaker 2: us more isolated. I think it makes us more fragmented. 406 00:22:44,413 --> 00:22:46,613 Speaker 2: So what's the answer. Well, for starters, stop calling it 407 00:22:46,733 --> 00:22:51,613 Speaker 2: social media education and work on creating something better to 408 00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:55,253 Speaker 2: replace it that doesn't involve smartphones. Thank you very much, Mark, 409 00:22:55,733 --> 00:22:58,093 Speaker 2: thoughtful message there from Mark ninety two. Ninety two is 410 00:22:58,133 --> 00:23:00,333 Speaker 2: our text number if you want to flip near messages. Well, 411 00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,493 Speaker 2: Francisca rud caner reckon, we'll have a few thoughts on that. 412 00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:05,413 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? Francisco? Would you support banning social 413 00:23:05,453 --> 00:23:08,853 Speaker 2: media for people under the age of sixteen unless they've 414 00:23:08,853 --> 00:23:11,813 Speaker 2: got parental permission? For fourteen or fifteen year old. 415 00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:13,013 Speaker 3: Good luck with that. 416 00:23:13,853 --> 00:23:14,093 Speaker 9: Yeah. 417 00:23:14,413 --> 00:23:16,333 Speaker 10: See, I would say to you is the mother of 418 00:23:16,533 --> 00:23:20,613 Speaker 10: a eighteen year old and a fifteen year old. You know, 419 00:23:20,733 --> 00:23:23,973 Speaker 10: my kids, they didn't get smartphones until they were kind 420 00:23:23,973 --> 00:23:26,733 Speaker 10: of around thirteen. They didn't jump on the Instagram and 421 00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:29,293 Speaker 10: things like that till they were thirteen, which is, you know, 422 00:23:29,413 --> 00:23:32,773 Speaker 10: the recommended time. But I tell you what I've learned, 423 00:23:32,813 --> 00:23:35,013 Speaker 10: and they've been really honest and open with me about 424 00:23:35,093 --> 00:23:38,893 Speaker 10: things they find ways around things that parents have no 425 00:23:39,013 --> 00:23:42,173 Speaker 10: idea about. They use their mates phones, they can check 426 00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:44,733 Speaker 10: what their mates are doing and use their phones. I mean, 427 00:23:44,773 --> 00:23:47,293 Speaker 10: I just think it is about education. I've got one 428 00:23:47,373 --> 00:23:49,773 Speaker 10: kid who's right into it. I've got one who does, 429 00:23:49,933 --> 00:23:53,693 Speaker 10: who does not post, who hardly follows, who knows how 430 00:23:53,733 --> 00:23:57,333 Speaker 10: to use it for their benefit and to add value 431 00:23:57,373 --> 00:24:00,653 Speaker 10: to their life, and the rest of it completely ignores it, 432 00:24:00,693 --> 00:24:03,653 Speaker 10: doesn't want a bar of it. So you know, that's 433 00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:07,573 Speaker 10: all about just education and understand and what works for 434 00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:09,813 Speaker 10: her and what doesn't and what's a good thing to 435 00:24:09,853 --> 00:24:12,013 Speaker 10: be part of them what isn't And I you know, 436 00:24:13,253 --> 00:24:14,733 Speaker 10: she's a smart little cookie. 437 00:24:15,493 --> 00:24:18,413 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well no I don't know. 438 00:24:19,493 --> 00:24:20,373 Speaker 11: This is all from her. 439 00:24:20,653 --> 00:24:22,093 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. 440 00:24:21,813 --> 00:24:24,213 Speaker 10: But yeah, Look, I think I think there's a really 441 00:24:24,253 --> 00:24:27,373 Speaker 10: serious conversation to be had about what we have allowed 442 00:24:27,493 --> 00:24:30,733 Speaker 10: to become the norm. It's really hard to tell parents 443 00:24:30,773 --> 00:24:33,293 Speaker 10: what to do. Everyone's in different situations, dealing with different 444 00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:35,813 Speaker 10: things and are really busy. But at the end of 445 00:24:35,853 --> 00:24:37,893 Speaker 10: the day, we have to completely change our whole perception 446 00:24:37,973 --> 00:24:41,693 Speaker 10: as to what value we get from this digital world 447 00:24:41,693 --> 00:24:45,493 Speaker 10: we live in and how to how to how to 448 00:24:45,853 --> 00:24:48,053 Speaker 10: embrace it, what it can bring to our lives and 449 00:24:48,093 --> 00:24:50,933 Speaker 10: get rid of the stuff that the negative stuff that 450 00:24:51,013 --> 00:24:52,573 Speaker 10: doesn't contribute at all to our lives. 451 00:24:52,613 --> 00:24:56,093 Speaker 2: So all Well said, Okay, well we're going to pivot 452 00:24:56,093 --> 00:24:59,973 Speaker 2: away from all that entertainment of another sort. Two different 453 00:24:59,973 --> 00:25:02,093 Speaker 2: films to discuss this morning. So let's start off with 454 00:25:02,173 --> 00:25:04,413 Speaker 2: a movie that's showing in cinemas at the moment. This 455 00:25:04,613 --> 00:25:06,333 Speaker 2: is Speak no Evil. 456 00:25:06,733 --> 00:25:07,813 Speaker 6: I want to pack up the current. 457 00:25:07,853 --> 00:25:09,973 Speaker 12: I want to leave right now. 458 00:25:13,853 --> 00:25:16,893 Speaker 1: You can then call out there and be completely novel. 459 00:25:20,653 --> 00:25:21,613 Speaker 7: From Britaining its normal. 460 00:25:21,653 --> 00:25:29,013 Speaker 2: Since we can't hear Dan, you're ba ba ba ba 461 00:25:29,133 --> 00:25:30,533 Speaker 2: tell us about us. 462 00:25:31,973 --> 00:25:32,613 Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. 463 00:25:32,653 --> 00:25:34,493 Speaker 10: You would have packed up your popcorn and left the 464 00:25:34,573 --> 00:25:37,373 Speaker 10: theater because this is not a relaxing film. You and 465 00:25:37,453 --> 00:25:41,013 Speaker 10: I we've spoken about the psychological horrors and horrors and things, 466 00:25:41,013 --> 00:25:43,853 Speaker 10: but really are not the most relaxing way to spend 467 00:25:43,893 --> 00:25:46,533 Speaker 10: a couple of thousand. This one really does nail it. 468 00:25:46,533 --> 00:25:48,973 Speaker 10: It's a remake of the Danish film that was actually 469 00:25:48,973 --> 00:25:52,893 Speaker 10: released in twenty and twenty two. The American version is 470 00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:56,453 Speaker 10: it's a little bit safer. It's a slightly less deflating 471 00:25:56,533 --> 00:25:59,093 Speaker 10: film than the original. I don't want to give too 472 00:25:59,133 --> 00:26:01,453 Speaker 10: much away. I think if you've probably seen the original, 473 00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:05,773 Speaker 10: you don't need to see this film. It is very similar, 474 00:26:05,813 --> 00:26:09,333 Speaker 10: except the land act is quite different. But that is 475 00:26:09,373 --> 00:26:12,053 Speaker 10: not to say that if you really enjoy sort of 476 00:26:12,093 --> 00:26:15,453 Speaker 10: an edge of your seat exhausting psychological horror, you won't 477 00:26:15,493 --> 00:26:18,053 Speaker 10: enjoy a sort of number. That's the intention. It is 478 00:26:18,093 --> 00:26:21,773 Speaker 10: to make you feel uncomfortable, to sort of push these 479 00:26:22,653 --> 00:26:26,213 Speaker 10: push societal conventions and sort of see where we land 480 00:26:26,253 --> 00:26:29,253 Speaker 10: and how you feel about how everything kind of unfolds. 481 00:26:29,973 --> 00:26:35,413 Speaker 10: And I mean it is interesting this film because there 482 00:26:35,493 --> 00:26:40,413 Speaker 10: was a lot of talk about, you know, not giving 483 00:26:40,453 --> 00:26:42,773 Speaker 10: away too much about the story and the plot and 484 00:26:42,813 --> 00:26:47,053 Speaker 10: how things unfold. Interestingly, though I didn't think it was 485 00:26:47,213 --> 00:26:50,333 Speaker 10: that clever. I think you and I sitting in this 486 00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:53,773 Speaker 10: theater would potentially kind of go uh huh, I know 487 00:26:53,813 --> 00:26:57,013 Speaker 10: what's going on here and be absolutely right. You've got 488 00:26:57,013 --> 00:27:00,933 Speaker 10: these there's two couples. You've got this posh London dwelling 489 00:27:00,933 --> 00:27:03,773 Speaker 10: American couple Louise and Ben. They meet this other couple 490 00:27:03,813 --> 00:27:06,933 Speaker 10: from the West Country, Paddy and Kara, on a holiday 491 00:27:06,933 --> 00:27:10,493 Speaker 10: in Tuscany. When they both return home, Paddy and Kara 492 00:27:10,613 --> 00:27:12,853 Speaker 10: they invite Louise and Ben to come and spend the 493 00:27:12,933 --> 00:27:15,373 Speaker 10: weekend with them in the country, and they're a bit like, well, 494 00:27:15,373 --> 00:27:17,773 Speaker 10: we don't really know these people, but they're having a 495 00:27:17,773 --> 00:27:19,573 Speaker 10: bit of a tough time at the moment. So they 496 00:27:19,573 --> 00:27:21,293 Speaker 10: decide that they'll head out and just sort of have 497 00:27:21,413 --> 00:27:25,093 Speaker 10: this little break and things. They take their twelve year 498 00:27:25,093 --> 00:27:27,973 Speaker 10: old daughter, Agnes to play with Paddy and Kara's son 499 00:27:28,053 --> 00:27:30,973 Speaker 10: and who has some speech issues, and they get there 500 00:27:31,013 --> 00:27:34,533 Speaker 10: and things sort of yeah, you're not quite sure whether 501 00:27:34,613 --> 00:27:37,173 Speaker 10: things are okay or not, and that's the whole intention 502 00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:39,173 Speaker 10: with this film. That's what it does. It sort of 503 00:27:39,253 --> 00:27:42,173 Speaker 10: teases you into thinking that maybe not everything is as 504 00:27:42,213 --> 00:27:44,013 Speaker 10: it seems, and then it reassures you it is and 505 00:27:44,053 --> 00:27:46,613 Speaker 10: you kind of go off on this journey. James McAvoy 506 00:27:46,653 --> 00:27:50,453 Speaker 10: is absolutely brilliant as Paddy. He is totally committed and 507 00:27:50,573 --> 00:27:55,333 Speaker 10: terrifying and wonderful. And Mackenzie Davis, who plays Louise, also 508 00:27:55,573 --> 00:27:58,453 Speaker 10: she fights back beautifully as well. 509 00:27:59,093 --> 00:28:01,893 Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, yeah, it sounds like something that I'm not 510 00:28:01,933 --> 00:28:05,613 Speaker 2: going to go to percent honors, No, but it does. 511 00:28:05,653 --> 00:28:08,253 Speaker 2: It sounds just a nonetheless and I'm sure there will 512 00:28:08,293 --> 00:28:10,453 Speaker 2: be some fans out there, So let's speak no evil. 513 00:28:10,573 --> 00:28:15,493 Speaker 2: That's in cinemas, available on streaming services to buy or rent. 514 00:28:15,573 --> 00:28:16,733 Speaker 2: Tell us about Radical. 515 00:28:17,693 --> 00:28:21,173 Speaker 10: Yes, the Radical is at cinemas. It is a real 516 00:28:21,293 --> 00:28:23,773 Speaker 10: crowd pleaser. It is a Mexican film. It's based on 517 00:28:23,813 --> 00:28:28,493 Speaker 10: a true story and it's directed by a filmmaker called Christopherzala. 518 00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:31,173 Speaker 10: And it is a story we've seen before. It's a 519 00:28:31,213 --> 00:28:34,053 Speaker 10: story of a teacher who empowers his students through his 520 00:28:34,293 --> 00:28:37,773 Speaker 10: unconventional teaching ways and the ways that he manages to 521 00:28:37,853 --> 00:28:40,893 Speaker 10: engage these children. It is worth saying though, because the 522 00:28:40,933 --> 00:28:44,333 Speaker 10: setting is quite unique. It's set in a very violent, poor, 523 00:28:44,453 --> 00:28:50,533 Speaker 10: gang infested part of Mexico. Heio Durbez. He plays our 524 00:28:50,613 --> 00:28:54,613 Speaker 10: lead character, our teacher so here, and he delivers a 525 00:28:54,893 --> 00:28:58,453 Speaker 10: very heart without emotional performance. He is a teacher who 526 00:28:59,013 --> 00:29:00,893 Speaker 10: is at a point in his life where he is 527 00:29:00,973 --> 00:29:04,533 Speaker 10: desperate to feel that his entire career of teaching children 528 00:29:04,893 --> 00:29:07,013 Speaker 10: hasn't been a waste of time and ends up in 529 00:29:07,013 --> 00:29:10,253 Speaker 10: this very poor school. He has these children who they're 530 00:29:10,253 --> 00:29:12,493 Speaker 10: twelve years old. One is about to leave because her 531 00:29:12,493 --> 00:29:15,173 Speaker 10: mother is having another baby and she will be responsible 532 00:29:15,173 --> 00:29:17,813 Speaker 10: for looking after the baby while the mother works. Another 533 00:29:17,813 --> 00:29:20,773 Speaker 10: little boy in Nko. His family is part of a 534 00:29:20,813 --> 00:29:22,853 Speaker 10: gang and he has no other option but to be 535 00:29:22,893 --> 00:29:25,573 Speaker 10: brought into this world and he will be leaving school. 536 00:29:25,573 --> 00:29:29,453 Speaker 10: And then we have Palermma and she is probably the 537 00:29:29,493 --> 00:29:33,973 Speaker 10: reason why this story went national in Mexico, and that's 538 00:29:34,013 --> 00:29:36,813 Speaker 10: because she lives in a dump site with her father 539 00:29:36,933 --> 00:29:40,173 Speaker 10: and they trawl through the rubbish dump to find metal 540 00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:42,213 Speaker 10: and things to recycle and make money and try them 541 00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:45,613 Speaker 10: in a living She's a mathematical genius. So you've and 542 00:29:45,653 --> 00:29:47,733 Speaker 10: that's the other reason to watch this film is the 543 00:29:47,773 --> 00:29:51,573 Speaker 10: director has got these amazing performances out of this young cast. 544 00:29:51,853 --> 00:29:54,813 Speaker 10: So there's a mix of humor. There are some devastating 545 00:29:54,973 --> 00:29:58,013 Speaker 10: sort of heartbreaking moments, but you will leave this film 546 00:29:58,453 --> 00:29:59,813 Speaker 10: utterly uplifted. 547 00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:00,573 Speaker 9: It is a delight. 548 00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:04,333 Speaker 2: Okay, I think it's an easy choice for me this week. 549 00:30:05,373 --> 00:30:09,613 Speaker 2: Oh I think so well that like just text every 550 00:30:09,653 --> 00:30:13,733 Speaker 2: single box from me.

You know, it's been 578 00:31:20,013 --> 00:31:23,573 Speaker 13: a bit lean this year, so chicken is always affordable. 579 00:31:23,693 --> 00:31:27,653 Speaker 13: It's probably our most affordable protein. I still encourage people 580 00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:29,413 Speaker 13: to spend a bit more and buy some good quality 581 00:31:29,493 --> 00:31:31,573 Speaker 13: chicken so that it has got some sort of nice 582 00:31:31,653 --> 00:31:33,093 Speaker 13: texture and good. 583 00:31:32,893 --> 00:31:33,693 Speaker 12: Flavor to it. 584 00:31:34,413 --> 00:31:37,253 Speaker 13: And yeah, look lovely big pan of this delivered to 585 00:31:37,293 --> 00:31:39,973 Speaker 13: the table.

I'm still 662 00:35:11,733 --> 00:35:14,533 Speaker 13: old enough to remember bone in breast. Yeah, boy, they 663 00:35:14,573 --> 00:35:17,933 Speaker 13: were fantastic, all those little caramelized bones at the end, 664 00:35:17,973 --> 00:35:20,933 Speaker 13: all delicious. So yeah, absolutely, no, you can. You just 665 00:35:20,933 --> 00:35:22,853 Speaker 13: need to think about how long you need to cook it. 666 00:35:22,893 --> 00:35:25,213 Speaker 13: The trick of this one is that cooks very quickly 667 00:35:25,973 --> 00:35:28,333 Speaker 13: because of all of those things, but by all means 668 00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:30,053 Speaker 13: cook it for a bit longer if you're going to 669 00:35:30,133 --> 00:35:30,973 Speaker 13: use thighs or something. 670 00:35:31,093 --> 00:35:33,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very good.

Saturday Mornings with Jack Dame and beepure dot 687 00:36:13,013 --> 00:36:17,373 Speaker 1: co dot nz for high quality supplements used talks be an. 688 00:36:17,293 --> 00:36:19,813 Speaker 2: Interesting email here Jack. It's important to remember that some 689 00:36:19,933 --> 00:36:24,413 Speaker 2: cultures do eat animals that we consider as companions only horses, 690 00:36:24,693 --> 00:36:28,093 Speaker 2: guinea pigs and parts of South America, yes, and dogs. Sadly, 691 00:36:28,133 --> 00:36:30,253 Speaker 2: I mean this is this is true. I don't think 692 00:36:30,253 --> 00:36:34,773 Speaker 2: anyone's anyone's denying that. You know, it is true that 693 00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:38,533 Speaker 2: in Peru, for example, they do eat guinea pig, and 694 00:36:38,813 --> 00:36:41,733 Speaker 2: other parts of the world that horse and sometimes even 695 00:36:41,733 --> 00:36:44,653 Speaker 2: dog might be eaten, just as other cultures would look 696 00:36:44,693 --> 00:36:47,413 Speaker 2: at our our cuisine and some of the things we 697 00:36:47,493 --> 00:36:51,053 Speaker 2: eat and probably be horrified. I can imagine that. You know, 698 00:36:51,133 --> 00:36:54,413 Speaker 2: for many Indian people, the prospect of eating beef, for example, 699 00:36:54,533 --> 00:36:58,253 Speaker 2: would be absolutely shocking. But I suppose it's not necessarily 700 00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:02,533 Speaker 2: the suggestion that an unusual meat is being consumed, but 701 00:37:02,653 --> 00:37:06,093 Speaker 2: rather that they were pets that were being consumed. That 702 00:37:06,173 --> 00:37:09,493 Speaker 2: my might have raised the hour of some in that 703 00:37:09,573 --> 00:37:12,493 Speaker 2: presidential debate earlier this week, especially given it has been 704 00:37:12,533 --> 00:37:14,893 Speaker 2: completely debunked, but thank you for that. 705 00:37:15,813 --> 00:37:16,053 Speaker 4: Jack. 706 00:37:16,613 --> 00:37:19,693 Speaker 2: Totally agree with your comments this morning. Regarding social media. 707 00:37:19,733 --> 00:37:22,533 Speaker 2: It's a tricky one. Usually I'm against the state banning 708 00:37:22,613 --> 00:37:25,573 Speaker 2: anything unnecessarily, and sometimes I think we go far too 709 00:37:25,613 --> 00:37:28,653 Speaker 2: far and expecting our politicians to step in for things 710 00:37:28,653 --> 00:37:31,573 Speaker 2: that parents should really be doing themselves. In this case, however, 711 00:37:31,893 --> 00:37:35,213 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, it is a collective action problem. Yeah, 712 00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:37,173 Speaker 2: this is my point with it. I think by setting 713 00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,333 Speaker 2: a standard right across the board. It means that parents 714 00:37:39,373 --> 00:37:42,493 Speaker 2: don't have to make that choice between worrying if their 715 00:37:42,573 --> 00:37:45,373 Speaker 2: child is being ostracized because the child's not able to 716 00:37:45,573 --> 00:37:49,413 Speaker 2: engage socially with their friends, and worrying about the harm 717 00:37:49,453 --> 00:37:52,013 Speaker 2: that social media is doing. Thank for your feedback. Ninety 718 00:37:52,013 --> 00:37:53,413 Speaker 2: two to ninety two is our text number if you 719 00:37:53,453 --> 00:37:55,013 Speaker 2: want to send me a message. I'll get to more 720 00:37:55,013 --> 00:37:57,613 Speaker 2: of those messages after ten o'clock this morning. As well 721 00:37:57,653 --> 00:37:59,493 Speaker 2: as that, we're going to tell you about the big 722 00:37:59,493 --> 00:38:02,453 Speaker 2: Apple launch. They had their big glitzy event this week, 723 00:38:02,493 --> 00:38:06,253 Speaker 2: announced another new iPhone that I don't know from my 724 00:38:06,493 --> 00:38:08,613 Speaker 2: speak of the very least, looked pretty similar to their 725 00:38:08,613 --> 00:38:11,893 Speaker 2: most recent iPhone. Surely not in this age of consumption. 726 00:38:12,173 --> 00:38:16,053 Speaker 2: Surely not. Just a new button, a new a new widget, 727 00:38:16,133 --> 00:38:19,813 Speaker 2: and a new two thousand dollars price tag will tell 728 00:38:19,813 --> 00:38:22,453 Speaker 2: you about the new product, though that's being hailed as 729 00:38:22,653 --> 00:38:26,013 Speaker 2: a hearing aid as well as that a feature interview 730 00:38:26,133 --> 00:38:28,853 Speaker 2: right after the ten o'clock news. Cannot wait for this one. 731 00:38:29,293 --> 00:38:33,933 Speaker 2: Troy Kingey on his creative journey to Joshua Tree in 732 00:38:33,933 --> 00:38:38,173 Speaker 2: the United States, the desert, the wide open skies in 733 00:38:38,213 --> 00:38:42,333 Speaker 2: an afternoon with magic Mushrooms News is next on Newstalk ZEDB. 734 00:38:45,813 --> 00:38:48,853 Speaker 1: A cracking way to start your Saturday Saturday Mornings with 735 00:38:49,013 --> 00:38:52,133 Speaker 1: Jack Day and bpure dot co dot Ze for high 736 00:38:52,213 --> 00:39:30,133 Speaker 1: quality supplements, Newstalks B. 737 00:39:14,213 --> 00:39:25,333 Speaker 2: The Accidental What in a neyw Zealand you have a 738 00:39:25,413 --> 00:39:28,333 Speaker 2: jactaim on Newstalks z'db.

Ten albums and ten genres over ten years. 741 00:39:35,933 --> 00:39:40,013 Speaker 2: Throughout the project, Troy has carved a remarkable reputation for 742 00:39:40,253 --> 00:39:45,693 Speaker 2: musical versatility and talent. Last month, he released album number 743 00:39:45,693 --> 00:39:48,333 Speaker 2: eight in the ten ten ten project, Lea The Man 744 00:39:48,453 --> 00:39:52,333 Speaker 2: in the Mojave Green. Of course, a Stelle music reviewer 745 00:39:52,333 --> 00:39:55,213 Speaker 2: on Saturday Mornings gave it ten out of ten. She 746 00:39:55,333 --> 00:39:59,093 Speaker 2: reckons it was extraordinary, a rock album that has brought 747 00:39:59,133 --> 00:40:03,173 Speaker 2: Troy Kingy back to his roots. And now somehow, somehow, 748 00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:05,733 Speaker 2: Troy is squeezing in a tour of New Zealand before 749 00:40:05,773 --> 00:40:08,893 Speaker 2: getting to work on the final two albums in his 750 00:40:08,973 --> 00:40:11,813 Speaker 2: ten ten ten series.

Thank you for having men, Thank. 753 00:40:16,373 --> 00:40:19,133 Speaker 2: You for being here, I think we should talk process. 754 00:40:19,133 --> 00:40:20,573 Speaker 2: And I know that you're not the kind of guy 755 00:40:20,613 --> 00:40:23,693 Speaker 2: who likes to be too retrospective and think about the 756 00:40:23,733 --> 00:40:26,573 Speaker 2: past too much, But just for the sake of context, 757 00:40:26,653 --> 00:40:29,493 Speaker 2: can you talk us through the process for recording leather 758 00:40:29,533 --> 00:40:30,493 Speaker 2: Man in the Mahabi Green. 759 00:40:32,213 --> 00:40:35,933 Speaker 14: There's quite a big process. Obviously. The first part of 760 00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:39,573 Speaker 14: that is trying to find funding to get somewhere, and 761 00:40:40,933 --> 00:40:43,933 Speaker 14: we happened to record this album over in Joshua Tree 762 00:40:44,053 --> 00:40:48,373 Speaker 14: in LA So there was a lot of getting the 763 00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:51,893 Speaker 14: funds together to get over there. Luckily, we were able 764 00:40:51,893 --> 00:40:56,333 Speaker 14: to get Tom hern and Tofaki on board to film 765 00:40:56,373 --> 00:40:58,973 Speaker 14: this documentary and that essentially got us over there. So, 766 00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:06,133 Speaker 14: but the big impetus behind going over there was those 767 00:41:06,413 --> 00:41:09,213 Speaker 14: I don't know, I'm doing a ten ten ten series 768 00:41:09,253 --> 00:41:11,573 Speaker 14: where I'm trying to do ten albums in ten years, 769 00:41:11,853 --> 00:41:13,693 Speaker 14: ten different genres. This was number eight. 770 00:41:13,933 --> 00:41:14,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, And. 771 00:41:16,653 --> 00:41:18,373 Speaker 14: When you try and put something like that in front 772 00:41:18,413 --> 00:41:21,253 Speaker 14: of you, you're gonna head a wall at some point. 773 00:41:21,293 --> 00:41:23,733 Speaker 14: And I feel like last year was that war. So 774 00:41:24,413 --> 00:41:27,853 Speaker 14: going over to the desert was me trying to rekindle 775 00:41:27,933 --> 00:41:30,693 Speaker 14: the flame that got me into this industry in the 776 00:41:30,733 --> 00:41:31,253 Speaker 14: first place. 777 00:41:31,333 --> 00:41:34,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Joshua Tree for people who don't know, California 778 00:41:34,333 --> 00:41:36,813 Speaker 2: middle of the desert, like forty degrees every day. It 779 00:41:36,893 --> 00:41:40,373 Speaker 2: is dry. It is a super harsh environment, and there 780 00:41:40,413 --> 00:41:43,693 Speaker 2: is this amazing studio there Rancho de la Luna with 781 00:41:43,733 --> 00:41:47,893 Speaker 2: like Rancho of the Moon talk to us about that environment. 782 00:41:48,933 --> 00:41:52,253 Speaker 14: Yeah, I've known about this place for over two decades now. 783 00:41:53,053 --> 00:41:55,933 Speaker 14: One of my all time favorite bands, Queens of the 784 00:41:55,973 --> 00:41:59,053 Speaker 14: Stone Age, recorded songs for the Death back there that 785 00:41:59,173 --> 00:42:02,133 Speaker 14: come out in two thousand and two. It's still my 786 00:42:02,173 --> 00:42:06,653 Speaker 14: favorite album to this day. So when Matt, who works 787 00:42:06,693 --> 00:42:09,893 Speaker 14: at the label I'm with, suggested we go over there, 788 00:42:10,053 --> 00:42:11,933 Speaker 14: I always thought it was just a pipe dream. But 789 00:42:12,413 --> 00:42:17,093 Speaker 14: actually standing there, you know Dave Catching who's also in 790 00:42:17,173 --> 00:42:19,213 Speaker 14: Queens of the Stone Age, who named Queens of the 791 00:42:19,213 --> 00:42:22,453 Speaker 14: stain Age, he runs the studio. So just being able 792 00:42:22,453 --> 00:42:25,293 Speaker 14: to sit with him and him to say, hey, Josh 793 00:42:25,573 --> 00:42:28,853 Speaker 14: use this guitar on the song, or Dave Grohl was 794 00:42:28,893 --> 00:42:33,093 Speaker 14: playing the exact same thing. You know, you can't help 795 00:42:33,173 --> 00:42:38,213 Speaker 14: but just get excited and inspired. So yeah, it's nothing amazing. 796 00:42:38,293 --> 00:42:41,173 Speaker 14: It doesn't look anything like it's no Abbey Road or 797 00:42:41,173 --> 00:42:44,893 Speaker 14: anything like that, but it's basically a house in the 798 00:42:44,933 --> 00:42:50,053 Speaker 14: middle of the desert with all these cool trinkets. 799 00:42:48,533 --> 00:42:49,693 Speaker 7: Just the way I like it. 800 00:42:49,373 --> 00:42:50,933 Speaker 14: It's super rough. 801 00:42:50,973 --> 00:42:56,253 Speaker 2: And ready, and so you went there seeking inspiration. Why 802 00:42:56,253 --> 00:42:58,173 Speaker 2: do you think you'd hit that block? Is it just 803 00:42:58,213 --> 00:43:00,533 Speaker 2: because you've been churning out so much stuff over the 804 00:43:00,613 --> 00:43:02,253 Speaker 2: last few years as part of the ten ten ten. 805 00:43:03,253 --> 00:43:06,213 Speaker 14: Yeah. I keep saying it's a creative block, but it's 806 00:43:06,373 --> 00:43:10,013 Speaker 14: probably be more. I'm still able to create a lot 807 00:43:10,013 --> 00:43:12,733 Speaker 14: of stuff, but I was just at a point where 808 00:43:12,773 --> 00:43:17,373 Speaker 14: I was questioning all my directions and back in the beginning, 809 00:43:17,693 --> 00:43:20,133 Speaker 14: I'll just write for the love of writing, and things 810 00:43:20,173 --> 00:43:23,453 Speaker 14: would just flow the way they flowed, and I felt 811 00:43:23,453 --> 00:43:27,173 Speaker 14: like I kind of lost that. So actually going back 812 00:43:27,173 --> 00:43:30,493 Speaker 14: to a genre or style that is probably the core 813 00:43:30,573 --> 00:43:34,253 Speaker 14: of who I am. It was timely. It was like 814 00:43:34,373 --> 00:43:39,773 Speaker 14: perfect timing and somewhere like that. It wasn't just the shootero, 815 00:43:39,853 --> 00:43:42,413 Speaker 14: it was the desert, it was the people. We had 816 00:43:42,413 --> 00:43:44,773 Speaker 14: a few cool experiences over there and it all just 817 00:43:44,893 --> 00:43:49,213 Speaker 14: culminated in what we have The man in the Mahavi Green. 818 00:43:49,613 --> 00:43:52,933 Speaker 2: Let's talk about some of those cool experiences. And for 819 00:43:52,973 --> 00:43:55,653 Speaker 2: anyone who hasn't seen it, I cannot recommend Troy Kingy's 820 00:43:55,693 --> 00:43:59,173 Speaker 2: Desert hikoy on TVNZ plus enough because it's amazing. So 821 00:43:59,213 --> 00:44:00,773 Speaker 2: you went over the head out into the desert in 822 00:44:00,773 --> 00:44:03,333 Speaker 2: the middle of the night. That was that was pretty special. 823 00:44:03,773 --> 00:44:07,853 Speaker 2: But you really leaned into the search for inspiration because 824 00:44:07,853 --> 00:44:11,293 Speaker 2: you decided to do a cultural ceremony where you took psilocybin, 825 00:44:11,493 --> 00:44:14,493 Speaker 2: you took magic mushrooms. How was that. 826 00:44:15,333 --> 00:44:19,133 Speaker 14: I was quite anxious about it, actually because people will 827 00:44:19,133 --> 00:44:21,253 Speaker 14: listen to a few of my albums and think I'm 828 00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:26,493 Speaker 14: a super draggy dude when I'm very straight edge. You know, 829 00:44:26,533 --> 00:44:28,333 Speaker 14: I've got five kids. I got to be on the 830 00:44:28,333 --> 00:44:32,573 Speaker 14: ball all the time. So but I just wanted to 831 00:44:32,613 --> 00:44:36,333 Speaker 14: embrace everything, and especially Joshua Tree in the desert is 832 00:44:37,613 --> 00:44:41,493 Speaker 14: it goes in conjunction with that sort of thing trips 833 00:44:41,613 --> 00:44:44,333 Speaker 14: or psilocybin or whatever you want to call it. And 834 00:44:44,373 --> 00:44:46,853 Speaker 14: initially we were supposed to do ayahuasca and then one 835 00:44:46,853 --> 00:44:48,973 Speaker 14: of my friends is like, Oh, probably don't want to 836 00:44:48,973 --> 00:44:51,573 Speaker 14: do that straight out the bat. You probably want you know, 837 00:44:51,653 --> 00:44:52,653 Speaker 14: you want to train for like. 838 00:44:52,613 --> 00:44:53,373 Speaker 2: A few months. 839 00:44:53,573 --> 00:44:56,493 Speaker 14: Yeah, it started a bit easier, and so they suggested 840 00:44:56,493 --> 00:44:59,613 Speaker 14: that we do mushrooms and I'd never done that before. 841 00:44:59,733 --> 00:45:00,493 Speaker 14: Didn't know what to. 842 00:45:00,453 --> 00:45:01,293 Speaker 15: Expect, and. 843 00:45:02,733 --> 00:45:06,413 Speaker 14: I can't quite recall a lot of that thing, but 844 00:45:06,693 --> 00:45:09,373 Speaker 14: I know it felt really good. And then all I 845 00:45:09,413 --> 00:45:11,253 Speaker 14: know is the next morning I just woke up and 846 00:45:12,213 --> 00:45:15,213 Speaker 14: songs just started writing themselves at like five in the morning. 847 00:45:15,293 --> 00:45:19,373 Speaker 14: So I don't know what unblocked. But from that point 848 00:45:19,413 --> 00:45:21,533 Speaker 14: to the toil we got home, everything just seemed to 849 00:45:21,573 --> 00:45:22,333 Speaker 14: flow really nice. 850 00:45:22,453 --> 00:45:24,493 Speaker 2: So it was like a creative river. That's the term 851 00:45:25,453 --> 00:45:26,133 Speaker 2: use it. 852 00:45:26,253 --> 00:45:26,613 Speaker 9: That's it. 853 00:45:26,773 --> 00:45:30,293 Speaker 2: Yeah. Was it a scary thing to do up? 854 00:45:30,453 --> 00:45:33,573 Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't know how people do that, you know, 855 00:45:33,733 --> 00:45:36,613 Speaker 14: like at festivals or out in the public. I'm just 856 00:45:36,693 --> 00:45:40,493 Speaker 14: glad that we had this nice, confined space with actual 857 00:45:40,733 --> 00:45:43,733 Speaker 14: experts that could help us go through that journey. 858 00:45:44,013 --> 00:45:44,213 Speaker 8: Yeah. 859 00:45:45,853 --> 00:45:48,733 Speaker 14: And I even said in the docker, I loved the experience. 860 00:45:48,773 --> 00:45:51,613 Speaker 14: I don't need to go back there for the time being, 861 00:45:51,693 --> 00:45:54,173 Speaker 14: but I love it for what it was. 862 00:45:54,453 --> 00:45:55,333 Speaker 7: Yeah. 863 00:45:55,613 --> 00:46:02,133 Speaker 2: Did you think there's something like a primal connection that 864 00:46:02,173 --> 00:46:04,413 Speaker 2: people have with being in the desert, because it's funny 865 00:46:04,573 --> 00:46:07,413 Speaker 2: like being from Alti or being Maldi, Like, we don't 866 00:46:07,413 --> 00:46:10,893 Speaker 2: really have a desert and experience here, right, But I 867 00:46:10,933 --> 00:46:14,253 Speaker 2: wonder if there's something like at an even kind of 868 00:46:14,293 --> 00:46:17,533 Speaker 2: deeper level something like really human or you know, there's 869 00:46:17,533 --> 00:46:20,413 Speaker 2: something kind of in our matter that connects us to those. 870 00:46:20,813 --> 00:46:23,973 Speaker 2: Maybe it's the insignificance of being in the desert. Did 871 00:46:23,973 --> 00:46:25,693 Speaker 2: you did you feel that kind of primal? 872 00:46:26,973 --> 00:46:32,533 Speaker 14: Definitely. We had another friend of mine, Mark Russell, who's 873 00:46:32,573 --> 00:46:36,813 Speaker 14: been documenting my journey for about sex or seven years actually, 874 00:46:37,813 --> 00:46:39,733 Speaker 14: and he would get up earlier as to see the 875 00:46:39,773 --> 00:46:42,613 Speaker 14: sunrise and then he'd go up before the sunset to 876 00:46:42,653 --> 00:46:46,453 Speaker 14: take photos and oh man, it's just a beautiful place. 877 00:46:46,533 --> 00:46:48,213 Speaker 2: And you're right, it does. 878 00:46:49,613 --> 00:46:52,693 Speaker 14: Show you how insignificant you are in the greatest scheme 879 00:46:52,733 --> 00:46:56,533 Speaker 14: of things, and you were just flawed by the beauty 880 00:46:56,613 --> 00:47:00,733 Speaker 14: of the environment and you did go back to the 881 00:47:00,733 --> 00:47:03,093 Speaker 14: core of who you are, and it was it was 882 00:47:03,133 --> 00:47:05,693 Speaker 14: all soul searching, all of that sort of thing. Without 883 00:47:05,733 --> 00:47:08,693 Speaker 14: having to try and soul search, you just were in 884 00:47:08,693 --> 00:47:11,173 Speaker 14: a place that made you think that way. 885 00:47:12,093 --> 00:47:16,653 Speaker 2: Yeah. Have your fans reacted to the range of different 886 00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:20,053 Speaker 2: sounds that you've produced in the eight albums that you've 887 00:47:20,373 --> 00:47:22,213 Speaker 2: released under the ten ten ten so far? 888 00:47:23,933 --> 00:47:26,973 Speaker 14: I think I have an amazing fan base that are 889 00:47:27,053 --> 00:47:28,013 Speaker 14: kind of just with me. 890 00:47:28,133 --> 00:47:28,333 Speaker 3: Now. 891 00:47:29,293 --> 00:47:31,413 Speaker 14: I got people suggesting, like, what are you doing next? 892 00:47:31,413 --> 00:47:32,933 Speaker 14: You're going to do a techno album or you're going 893 00:47:32,973 --> 00:47:37,373 Speaker 14: to do a death metal album. So right at the beginning, 894 00:47:37,413 --> 00:47:39,493 Speaker 14: I was a bit worried that I was going to 895 00:47:39,573 --> 00:47:42,253 Speaker 14: alienate my fan base. You know, they might love the 896 00:47:42,293 --> 00:47:44,893 Speaker 14: reggae album and just say why don't you just stick 897 00:47:44,933 --> 00:47:48,853 Speaker 14: to that or the sole album. So once I got 898 00:47:48,933 --> 00:47:51,133 Speaker 14: to the album number four, I just like, oh, well we're 899 00:47:51,133 --> 00:47:53,933 Speaker 14: in this now. Yeah, you're either with me or you're not. 900 00:47:54,133 --> 00:47:56,453 Speaker 14: That's fine, but I'm going to do this thing. And 901 00:47:56,453 --> 00:47:59,013 Speaker 14: and I've got quite a loyal fan base, so that's 902 00:47:59,013 --> 00:47:59,573 Speaker 14: pretty cool. 903 00:47:59,613 --> 00:48:02,213 Speaker 2: And you said earlier that this feels like you're kind 904 00:48:02,253 --> 00:48:06,893 Speaker 2: of original sound in a sense of kind of desert rock. Yeah, 905 00:48:06,493 --> 00:48:07,693 Speaker 2: it is that accurate. 906 00:48:08,093 --> 00:48:11,573 Speaker 14: Well, if you listen to my very first album, which 907 00:48:11,653 --> 00:48:16,333 Speaker 14: is probably more blues indie stuff, but there's definitely elements 908 00:48:16,373 --> 00:48:20,533 Speaker 14: of this. And you know, being a first album, everyone's 909 00:48:20,573 --> 00:48:24,213 Speaker 14: first album. They've had like however long to write that album, 910 00:48:24,293 --> 00:48:29,293 Speaker 14: so it's quite eclectic. But yeah, you definitely hear elements 911 00:48:29,293 --> 00:48:32,773 Speaker 14: of this. And just going back to that same with 912 00:48:32,813 --> 00:48:35,413 Speaker 14: my drummer, that's I found him when he was sixteen. 913 00:48:35,453 --> 00:48:37,813 Speaker 14: He was I was an itinerant teacher at high school 914 00:48:37,813 --> 00:48:39,373 Speaker 14: and he was in a band at school and that 915 00:48:39,573 --> 00:48:43,053 Speaker 14: was his style, and so I put him through the ringer, 916 00:48:43,333 --> 00:48:48,213 Speaker 14: you know, like playing folk and playing soul music and 917 00:48:48,333 --> 00:48:52,253 Speaker 14: then eighties synth pop, and then to finally just go 918 00:48:52,373 --> 00:48:56,413 Speaker 14: back to what he loved. Yeah, you could feel his 919 00:48:56,533 --> 00:49:00,613 Speaker 14: love for drumming again, you know. So yeah, it was 920 00:49:00,653 --> 00:49:02,173 Speaker 14: definitely a kind of homecoming. 921 00:49:02,373 --> 00:49:03,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, hip Hop's next day. 922 00:49:04,293 --> 00:49:05,173 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah it is. 923 00:49:05,213 --> 00:49:06,093 Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? 924 00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:10,613 Speaker 14: I'm not too fair, I'm you know, I'm not I 925 00:49:10,773 --> 00:49:13,333 Speaker 14: might be rapping, but I've actually just put a call 926 00:49:13,373 --> 00:49:16,413 Speaker 14: out to all my friends in the industry and people 927 00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:19,413 Speaker 14: that I admire and asked if they want to be 928 00:49:19,493 --> 00:49:22,413 Speaker 14: part of it, and they all said yes, And we 929 00:49:22,453 --> 00:49:25,573 Speaker 14: go into the studio November. So we finished this tour 930 00:49:25,613 --> 00:49:27,653 Speaker 14: at the end of this month. I've got a few 931 00:49:27,693 --> 00:49:29,533 Speaker 14: things on next month and then we go straight and 932 00:49:29,613 --> 00:49:32,973 Speaker 14: so haven't got a lot of time for the turnaround. 933 00:49:33,053 --> 00:49:35,293 Speaker 2: But it's always the case though. 934 00:49:35,453 --> 00:49:39,013 Speaker 14: Yeah, but it's all good because we're actually writing in 935 00:49:39,093 --> 00:49:41,613 Speaker 14: the studio. So each of the artists has a day 936 00:49:41,573 --> 00:49:44,373 Speaker 14: in the studio and I've given them a playlist and 937 00:49:44,533 --> 00:49:47,853 Speaker 14: asked what style are you leaning towards or were then 938 00:49:47,933 --> 00:49:50,853 Speaker 14: around that, I'll like a soundscape that I'm looking for. 939 00:49:50,693 --> 00:49:53,573 Speaker 2: What artists would be most represented on the playlist. 940 00:49:56,373 --> 00:50:02,133 Speaker 14: I've got actually got a female EMC from Wellington mar 941 00:50:02,413 --> 00:50:05,413 Speaker 14: Is on it, and she she's the one who points 942 00:50:05,413 --> 00:50:09,373 Speaker 14: it out that it's pretty much much Polynesian bar Tom Scott, 943 00:50:09,653 --> 00:50:11,853 Speaker 14: So yeah, cool, I'm just like, oh far, I don't 944 00:50:11,853 --> 00:50:12,653 Speaker 14: even think of that. 945 00:50:12,733 --> 00:50:14,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just my favorite scot Off home brow. 946 00:50:14,933 --> 00:50:15,733 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. 947 00:50:15,773 --> 00:50:20,413 Speaker 14: So umm, I'm still yet to come up with the 948 00:50:20,453 --> 00:50:25,413 Speaker 14: overall theme for everyone to talk about. But yeah, it's 949 00:50:25,413 --> 00:50:27,893 Speaker 14: a hard one because i probably want to talk about 950 00:50:28,453 --> 00:50:31,613 Speaker 14: politics or something to do with indigenous things, but I've 951 00:50:31,653 --> 00:50:33,573 Speaker 14: already done that in the past album, so I'm like, 952 00:50:33,733 --> 00:50:36,413 Speaker 14: what's another spin on that? So everyone just said just 953 00:50:36,453 --> 00:50:39,533 Speaker 14: take your time and figrid out and whatever it is, 954 00:50:39,573 --> 00:50:41,253 Speaker 14: they'll smash it. Doesn't know what it is. 955 00:50:41,493 --> 00:50:43,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. I was reflecting on the ten ten 956 00:50:43,973 --> 00:50:46,373 Speaker 2: ten project the other day and in the ways that 957 00:50:47,973 --> 00:50:50,133 Speaker 2: like it forces you in some way. I mean it does. 958 00:50:50,173 --> 00:50:52,013 Speaker 2: It forces you to release music? Right, If you're going 959 00:50:52,053 --> 00:50:54,853 Speaker 2: to do ten albums, ten genres, ten years, then you're 960 00:50:54,893 --> 00:50:59,053 Speaker 2: forced to constantly be creating and are you familiar with this, 961 00:51:00,533 --> 00:51:03,613 Speaker 2: the kind of principle around creativity that the best way 962 00:51:03,653 --> 00:51:06,173 Speaker 2: to be creative is to put constraints on things. 963 00:51:06,413 --> 00:51:07,213 Speaker 14: One hundred percent. 964 00:51:07,253 --> 00:51:08,333 Speaker 2: Do you reckon on hundred percent? 965 00:51:08,413 --> 00:51:11,533 Speaker 14: I feel like if I didn't have that, I don't 966 00:51:11,573 --> 00:51:13,413 Speaker 14: even know if I'd have an album out now. I'm 967 00:51:13,413 --> 00:51:16,173 Speaker 14: one of those ones that just needs a deadline, And 968 00:51:17,053 --> 00:51:18,973 Speaker 14: people say, do you feel like the quality is going 969 00:51:19,053 --> 00:51:21,613 Speaker 14: to dip? That you're pushing up so much content? And 970 00:51:21,693 --> 00:51:25,053 Speaker 14: I'm feeling like, if I had five years to write 971 00:51:25,093 --> 00:51:27,573 Speaker 14: an album, I'd probably still write it the two weeks 972 00:51:27,653 --> 00:51:30,813 Speaker 14: leading into you know, so it doesn't really matter. So 973 00:51:33,053 --> 00:51:35,293 Speaker 14: but that's always my thing is I need to be 974 00:51:35,893 --> 00:51:38,813 Speaker 14: proud of what I'm putting out. And that was one 975 00:51:38,853 --> 00:51:40,293 Speaker 14: thing right at the beginning. I don't want to just 976 00:51:40,333 --> 00:51:41,773 Speaker 14: put it out for the hell of putting it out. 977 00:51:41,813 --> 00:51:44,253 Speaker 14: I want to do my best with the time that 978 00:51:44,333 --> 00:51:44,653 Speaker 14: I have. 979 00:51:45,773 --> 00:51:49,053 Speaker 2: One last question, where do you get your clothes?

Tell us about Slow Horses. 1038 00:54:38,133 --> 00:54:40,573 Speaker 16: Only you'd like this. I just felt like this as 1039 00:54:40,613 --> 00:54:43,773 Speaker 16: a show that you would get into. It's about spies 1040 00:54:43,853 --> 00:54:48,053 Speaker 16: in the UK Right five, the super secret spy agency 1041 00:54:48,173 --> 00:54:50,813 Speaker 16: that none of us really know much about. But it's 1042 00:54:50,853 --> 00:54:54,773 Speaker 16: not about the real spies. It's about the outcast and misfits, 1043 00:54:54,853 --> 00:54:57,973 Speaker 16: the rejects, the spies that have done something bad in 1044 00:54:58,013 --> 00:55:00,533 Speaker 16: the field and they get sent to do penance in 1045 00:55:00,613 --> 00:55:05,013 Speaker 16: this rundown office which is overseen by Gary Oldman and 1046 00:55:05,133 --> 00:55:09,293 Speaker 16: has won and only TV role which he is absolutely relishing. 1047 00:55:09,453 --> 00:55:11,733 Speaker 16: You can sort of see him here. He plays Jackson Lamb, 1048 00:55:11,813 --> 00:55:16,573 Speaker 16: the boss of these these spies, and he's like, he's overweight, 1049 00:55:16,933 --> 00:55:20,413 Speaker 16: he drinks, he smokes, he's you know, the word slovenly 1050 00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:23,853 Speaker 16: was created to describe him. He you can almost smell 1051 00:55:23,933 --> 00:55:27,533 Speaker 16: him coming off the screen. But the irony is he's 1052 00:55:27,613 --> 00:55:30,613 Speaker 16: he's really good at his job. He loves these these 1053 00:55:31,013 --> 00:55:33,693 Speaker 16: these outcast cities in charge of and so every season 1054 00:55:34,853 --> 00:55:37,373 Speaker 16: they sort of find themselves wrapped up in sort of 1055 00:55:37,413 --> 00:55:40,613 Speaker 16: redeeming themselves. It's one of these kind of old school 1056 00:55:41,093 --> 00:55:43,453 Speaker 16: TV shows. I feel like it kind of turns up 1057 00:55:43,453 --> 00:55:46,333 Speaker 16: for six episodes every year and it just does the goods. 1058 00:55:46,333 --> 00:55:49,693 Speaker 16: It delivers every time. This season is no different. The 1059 00:55:49,773 --> 00:55:52,853 Speaker 16: quality is right up there, and they're exploring some really 1060 00:55:52,933 --> 00:55:57,653 Speaker 16: interesting scenes, including one of the spies granddads, who's suffering 1061 00:55:57,693 --> 00:56:00,693 Speaker 16: dementia and so what do you do with elderly spy 1062 00:56:00,853 --> 00:56:05,853 Speaker 16: who is loising his mind and could give away trade secrets? 1063 00:56:05,893 --> 00:56:10,933 Speaker 16: That's ripe territory. So yeah, this would I think be 1064 00:56:11,053 --> 00:56:12,933 Speaker 16: the best show on TV right now if it wasn't 1065 00:56:12,973 --> 00:56:16,053 Speaker 16: for industry. I'm not surprised. 1066 00:56:16,093 --> 00:56:16,493 Speaker 9: You love it. 1067 00:56:16,653 --> 00:56:20,213 Speaker 2: I love it? Yeah, Yeah, And No, Slow Horses is exceptional. 1068 00:56:20,253 --> 00:56:24,653 Speaker 2: So that's on Apple TV. Plus screening on Neon tell 1069 00:56:24,733 --> 00:56:27,213 Speaker 2: Us about wise guy David Chase in The Sopranos. 1070 00:56:28,333 --> 00:56:31,333 Speaker 16: Yeah, well, speaking of quality TV, I think we all 1071 00:56:31,453 --> 00:56:35,213 Speaker 16: consider The Sopranos to be one of, if not the 1072 00:56:35,253 --> 00:56:38,413 Speaker 16: best show's ever made. This ran from ninety ninety nine 1073 00:56:38,413 --> 00:56:41,093 Speaker 16: to two thousand and seven, and it's sort of got 1074 00:56:41,493 --> 00:56:46,973 Speaker 16: a bit of another wave of support, if you like. 1075 00:56:47,093 --> 00:56:49,333 Speaker 16: During Lockdown, I feel like everyone was watching it again 1076 00:56:50,213 --> 00:56:55,093 Speaker 16: and yeah, they've decided it's time for a documentary on it. 1077 00:56:55,173 --> 00:56:57,693 Speaker 16: This isn't just like a rah rah, look how great 1078 00:56:57,773 --> 00:57:01,173 Speaker 16: the show was documentary. This is diving in deep. It's 1079 00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:05,173 Speaker 16: the director Alex Giveney, one of the greatest documentary makers 1080 00:57:05,173 --> 00:57:08,093 Speaker 16: of our time, and he doesn't really clever Harry. He 1081 00:57:08,213 --> 00:57:11,653 Speaker 16: recreates doctor Malfie's office and he sits David Chase, the 1082 00:57:11,693 --> 00:57:14,493 Speaker 16: creator of The Sopranos, down in it, and he puts 1083 00:57:14,493 --> 00:57:17,333 Speaker 16: them through exactly what Tony Soprano went through for. 1084 00:57:17,293 --> 00:57:18,533 Speaker 4: All those years. 1085 00:57:18,933 --> 00:57:22,253 Speaker 16: He makes them dive into the creation of the show, 1086 00:57:22,333 --> 00:57:24,293 Speaker 16: like why he made it. It turns out he was 1087 00:57:24,413 --> 00:57:26,093 Speaker 16: just trying to make a show about his mum that 1088 00:57:26,173 --> 00:57:28,453 Speaker 16: had nothing to do with the mob, but he thought, 1089 00:57:28,493 --> 00:57:30,293 Speaker 16: you know what if I added some bad guys into 1090 00:57:30,333 --> 00:57:34,453 Speaker 16: it and it evolved from there. But yeah, there's a 1091 00:57:34,493 --> 00:57:39,573 Speaker 16: lot of big reveals in this two part documentary. They 1092 00:57:39,613 --> 00:57:43,053 Speaker 16: talk a lot about James Gandalfini, who obviously was in 1093 00:57:43,093 --> 00:57:47,493 Speaker 16: almost every sing of the Sopranos. He was the Sopranos, 1094 00:57:47,533 --> 00:57:49,533 Speaker 16: and just how much he struggled with it. He wasn't 1095 00:57:49,533 --> 00:57:53,813 Speaker 16: built for the fame, he wasn't built to handle it, 1096 00:57:53,893 --> 00:57:56,333 Speaker 16: and so he would sort of disappear for days on end. 1097 00:57:56,853 --> 00:57:59,533 Speaker 16: They talk about drugs and alcohol abuse. They held an 1098 00:57:59,533 --> 00:58:02,853 Speaker 16: intervention for him at one point, and they talk about 1099 00:58:03,693 --> 00:58:06,573 Speaker 16: how he prepared for those really violent scenes and so 1100 00:58:06,653 --> 00:58:09,213 Speaker 16: we'd put rocks in his shoes, or down six cups 1101 00:58:09,213 --> 00:58:11,693 Speaker 16: of coffee or even bang his head on a wall. 1102 00:58:11,733 --> 00:58:15,453 Speaker 16: That's how It's how Farry took it. So yeah, this 1103 00:58:15,653 --> 00:58:17,853 Speaker 16: is I mean, this is great. I reckon, we'll probably 1104 00:58:17,853 --> 00:58:20,093 Speaker 16: see more of these. I wouldn't be surprised them for 1105 00:58:20,213 --> 00:58:22,853 Speaker 16: like six feet under or the wire or the office, 1106 00:58:23,013 --> 00:58:25,333 Speaker 16: you know, those big totems. 1107 00:58:24,813 --> 00:58:28,013 Speaker 2: Kind of inside. Yeah, right, that's very interesting. So that's 1108 00:58:28,053 --> 00:58:31,093 Speaker 2: wise Guy David Chase and the Sopranos It's on Neon 1109 00:58:31,453 --> 00:58:34,813 Speaker 2: and on tvn Z one and tvn Z plus Location, Location, 1110 00:58:35,053 --> 00:58:36,053 Speaker 2: Location end Z. 1111 00:58:37,413 --> 00:58:42,013 Speaker 16: Yeah, a lot of surprised we're finally rebooting this UK 1112 00:58:42,253 --> 00:58:45,493 Speaker 16: hits for New Zealand. We're all obsessed with house prizes, 1113 00:58:45,613 --> 00:58:49,533 Speaker 16: especially here in Auckland's. This has been on the air 1114 00:58:49,533 --> 00:58:51,893 Speaker 16: in the UK for forty one season since the year 1115 00:58:51,973 --> 00:58:55,573 Speaker 16: two thousand. We're finally doing our own version. It's a 1116 00:58:55,613 --> 00:58:58,453 Speaker 16: show where it's pretty simple. They find people looking to 1117 00:58:58,453 --> 00:59:02,013 Speaker 16: buy houses and they try and find them their dream home. 1118 00:59:02,213 --> 00:59:04,093 Speaker 16: You know, there's there's there's a lot of talk all 1119 00:59:04,133 --> 00:59:10,173 Speaker 16: those clichos, the forever home, dream home. The hosts real 1120 00:59:10,253 --> 00:59:13,973 Speaker 16: estate agents, but they're also quite familiar TV faces. It's 1121 00:59:14,053 --> 00:59:17,973 Speaker 16: James Keeley who hosted My de Sceen Dream Home, Paul Glover, 1122 00:59:18,093 --> 00:59:20,173 Speaker 16: who is actually a comedy actor from one of my 1123 00:59:20,253 --> 00:59:24,453 Speaker 16: favorite local shows, Educators. So they sort of just take 1124 00:59:24,933 --> 00:59:28,133 Speaker 16: a couples or people who are looking to buy houses 1125 00:59:28,253 --> 00:59:31,773 Speaker 16: around to see if they can find them a home 1126 00:59:32,173 --> 00:59:34,493 Speaker 16: they want. It's based in Auckland and I feel like 1127 00:59:34,613 --> 00:59:38,973 Speaker 16: that's the only point here where house prizes are quite 1128 00:59:38,973 --> 00:59:42,693 Speaker 16: far out of reach for many people. And one of 1129 00:59:42,693 --> 00:59:45,013 Speaker 16: the couples in this first episode is spending over a 1130 00:59:45,053 --> 00:59:47,253 Speaker 16: million dollars on their first house, which is a hell 1131 00:59:47,253 --> 00:59:48,733 Speaker 16: of a lot of money, and there's no sort of 1132 00:59:49,493 --> 00:59:52,573 Speaker 16: time to dive into why that's the case and how 1133 00:59:52,573 --> 00:59:55,693 Speaker 16: we got there. It's sort of like, you know, look 1134 00:59:55,693 --> 00:59:58,053 Speaker 16: at the third bedroom in the second bathroom and the 1135 00:59:58,093 --> 01:00:01,413 Speaker 16: deck and that kind of stuff. So if you're into 1136 01:00:01,453 --> 01:00:04,013 Speaker 16: like property porn, then you know grand designs that kind 1137 01:00:04,053 --> 01:00:06,373 Speaker 16: of thing, you'll love it. But I wouldn't be surprised 1138 01:00:06,653 --> 01:00:08,653 Speaker 16: a few people come across this and sorry their coffee 1139 01:00:08,653 --> 01:00:09,373 Speaker 16: cups at the TV. 1140 01:00:10,573 --> 01:00:13,933 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much, Chris.

This is a really 1166 01:01:48,173 --> 01:01:51,733 Speaker 2: simple phrase that I've been using lately, which I think 1167 01:01:51,773 --> 01:01:54,533 Speaker 2: is a great one if you've got kids, especially or grandkids. 1168 01:01:55,253 --> 01:01:57,853 Speaker 2: So after every day when we pick up our boy 1169 01:01:57,853 --> 01:02:00,893 Speaker 2: from school, I always say to him here are ha 1170 01:02:01,493 --> 01:02:04,573 Speaker 2: or Pineing or Ted are how a ha?

He's been pulling out the excel worksheets, looking 1181 01:02:35,093 --> 01:02:37,653 Speaker 2: at the average house price in New Zealand, the average 1182 01:02:37,693 --> 01:02:41,053 Speaker 2: price of investment properties, the average wage, and he's got 1183 01:02:41,053 --> 01:02:43,813 Speaker 2: some interesting stats on what he thinks the investment market 1184 01:02:43,933 --> 01:02:46,293 Speaker 2: might do in the coming months and years. So looking 1185 01:02:46,293 --> 01:02:48,093 Speaker 2: forward to catching up with him. Next up our text 1186 01:02:48,133 --> 01:02:50,213 Speaker 2: Burt Is in twenty four to eleven, you've a jack 1187 01:02:50,253 --> 01:02:56,213 Speaker 2: tame on Newstalks. He'd be sat entertain the mic asking breakfast. 1188 01:02:56,333 --> 01:02:58,573 Speaker 17: There was one Olympic story that came out of nowhere 1189 01:02:58,573 --> 01:03:00,213 Speaker 17: for a lot of us, who was Hamish Curre of course, 1190 01:03:00,213 --> 01:03:02,133 Speaker 17: Suddenly seemingly out of no where, we had the best 1191 01:03:02,173 --> 01:03:03,613 Speaker 17: high jumper in the world. He was going to be 1192 01:03:03,653 --> 01:03:06,133 Speaker 17: competing in Belgium apparently, but he said night bugger, it 1193 01:03:06,413 --> 01:03:07,893 Speaker 17: need to come and see Mike. So he has and 1194 01:03:07,933 --> 01:03:08,173 Speaker 17: he's what. 1195 01:03:08,533 --> 01:03:10,853 Speaker 2: I did athletics at a club at a young age, 1196 01:03:10,853 --> 01:03:12,413 Speaker 2: and highjump was always the event that I was the 1197 01:03:12,413 --> 01:03:14,293 Speaker 2: best at. I think the thing for me was every 1198 01:03:14,373 --> 01:03:16,413 Speaker 2: year I just got a little bit more serious, and 1199 01:03:16,453 --> 01:03:18,173 Speaker 2: then obviously last fe years I've been pretty serious. 1200 01:03:18,213 --> 01:03:20,053 Speaker 17: I can't remember the name of the term. So you'd 1201 01:03:20,093 --> 01:03:22,253 Speaker 17: start with the scissors. What's the one where you rolled 1202 01:03:22,293 --> 01:03:23,013 Speaker 17: forward over. 1203 01:03:23,013 --> 01:03:24,213 Speaker 2: That would be called the Western role. 1204 01:03:24,333 --> 01:03:26,733 Speaker 17: So occasionally we got into the Western role because the 1205 01:03:26,773 --> 01:03:28,933 Speaker 17: height was too high for the scissors age mate. 1206 01:03:29,293 --> 01:03:29,973 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1207 01:03:30,693 --> 01:03:33,693 Speaker 17: Monday from six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with the 1208 01:03:33,773 --> 01:03:35,853 Speaker 17: Jaguar Space used Talk ZB. 1209 01:03:35,773 --> 01:03:38,573 Speaker 2: Twenty two to eleven on news Talk d B. Apple 1210 01:03:38,613 --> 01:03:41,733 Speaker 2: had its big glitzy launch event this week. Our textbert 1211 01:03:41,733 --> 01:03:44,573 Speaker 2: Paul Stenhouse had his eye on the various new products 1212 01:03:44,613 --> 01:03:47,533 Speaker 2: being announced that I don't know, Paul. My sense was that, yeah, 1213 01:03:47,533 --> 01:03:49,173 Speaker 2: they were all nice, but they were just in kind 1214 01:03:49,173 --> 01:03:52,613 Speaker 2: of like little, you know, small improvements on products that 1215 01:03:52,653 --> 01:03:54,173 Speaker 2: already exist. Is that fair? 1216 01:03:54,253 --> 01:03:56,093 Speaker 12: Like they launched a new phone. Can you believe it? 1217 01:03:56,173 --> 01:03:56,253 Speaker 5: What? 1218 01:03:56,533 --> 01:04:00,893 Speaker 2: Like, no, wasn't enough? Yeah, I know. 1219 01:04:01,013 --> 01:04:02,453 Speaker 12: Do you know what did catch my eye though? 1220 01:04:02,573 --> 01:04:03,093 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1221 01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:05,253 Speaker 12: Apple released a hearing aid. 1222 01:04:05,773 --> 01:04:10,773 Speaker 2: Yes, wow, that is cool. It is cool. They were Yeah, they. 1223 01:04:10,613 --> 01:04:13,533 Speaker 5: Were waiting on FDA approval and we found out today 1224 01:04:13,813 --> 01:04:17,373 Speaker 5: they got that FDA approval, which makes it the first 1225 01:04:17,533 --> 01:04:21,973 Speaker 5: over the counter hearing aid software device. And I think 1226 01:04:21,973 --> 01:04:25,613 Speaker 5: this is a really big deal, huge deal. These stats 1227 01:04:25,613 --> 01:04:28,493 Speaker 5: had that one point five billion people around the world 1228 01:04:28,533 --> 01:04:31,053 Speaker 5: have some form of hearing loss, according to the World 1229 01:04:31,053 --> 01:04:34,933 Speaker 5: Health Organization. There's quite a few people and maybe some 1230 01:04:34,973 --> 01:04:39,333 Speaker 5: people that you know, you were embarrassed to go and 1231 01:04:39,373 --> 01:04:43,053 Speaker 5: get tested. There's like a stigma attached to having a 1232 01:04:43,093 --> 01:04:43,733 Speaker 5: hearing aid. 1233 01:04:44,093 --> 01:04:47,013 Speaker 12: There shouldn't be, obviously, but there is. 1234 01:04:47,213 --> 01:04:49,453 Speaker 5: And I think that this goes a really long way 1235 01:04:49,493 --> 01:04:53,133 Speaker 5: about normalizing the process of one going and getting your 1236 01:04:53,133 --> 01:04:58,453 Speaker 5: hearing tested because with their new epod Protus, you can 1237 01:04:58,493 --> 01:04:59,973 Speaker 5: do a hearing test. 1238 01:04:59,893 --> 01:05:03,053 Speaker 12: At home, in the comfort of your own home, with 1239 01:05:03,093 --> 01:05:03,973 Speaker 12: your headphones on. 1240 01:05:04,893 --> 01:05:07,453 Speaker 5: And their study also found for one point five billion 1241 01:05:07,453 --> 01:05:12,293 Speaker 5: people have hearing loss, seventy five percent of people actually diagnosed, yeah, 1242 01:05:12,653 --> 01:05:15,213 Speaker 5: haven't received any of the help that they should, right 1243 01:05:15,333 --> 01:05:18,213 Speaker 5: so now you can do the test at home, find 1244 01:05:18,213 --> 01:05:21,853 Speaker 5: out about it, and you can also use your earpod 1245 01:05:21,933 --> 01:05:26,333 Speaker 5: pro towos to actually be a hearing aid and we're 1246 01:05:26,333 --> 01:05:27,853 Speaker 5: talking a medical. 1247 01:05:27,413 --> 01:05:28,813 Speaker 12: Grade hearing aid here, Jack. 1248 01:05:28,933 --> 01:05:29,293 Speaker 7: Wow. 1249 01:05:29,493 --> 01:05:32,173 Speaker 5: The test you get actually gives you the same audiogram, 1250 01:05:32,253 --> 01:05:34,533 Speaker 5: the same information that you would get at the hearing 1251 01:05:34,853 --> 01:05:37,973 Speaker 5: that you're hearing doctor's office, and then it uses that 1252 01:05:38,053 --> 01:05:42,653 Speaker 5: information to then basically create a profile inside your earpod 1253 01:05:42,693 --> 01:05:46,013 Speaker 5: protos that will boost the highs or the lows or 1254 01:05:46,053 --> 01:05:48,333 Speaker 5: the mids or decrease them or whatever it is that 1255 01:05:48,413 --> 01:05:51,613 Speaker 5: you need in order to hear, and will do that 1256 01:05:51,893 --> 01:05:55,693 Speaker 5: all by itself in the palm of your hand, which 1257 01:05:55,773 --> 01:05:59,253 Speaker 5: is rather incredible. So if you do struggle with listening 1258 01:05:59,253 --> 01:06:01,733 Speaker 5: to people, or you struggle hearing things going on in 1259 01:06:01,733 --> 01:06:04,173 Speaker 5: your environment, your ear pods. 1260 01:06:04,253 --> 01:06:07,373 Speaker 12: That typically also have noise canceling for and you use 1261 01:06:07,453 --> 01:06:07,973 Speaker 12: to listen to. 1262 01:06:07,973 --> 01:06:11,613 Speaker 5: Music, they can now also help you hear conversations and 1263 01:06:11,653 --> 01:06:12,453 Speaker 5: the things around you. 1264 01:06:12,533 --> 01:06:14,493 Speaker 12: I think that's tech for good. I think that's pretty cool. 1265 01:06:14,733 --> 01:06:17,453 Speaker 2: It is very cool. That is very cool for keen 1266 01:06:17,493 --> 01:06:22,573 Speaker 2: watches of Ai technology. Open Ai has announced a new 1267 01:06:22,653 --> 01:06:25,013 Speaker 2: upgrade that means AI can reason. 1268 01:06:25,853 --> 01:06:28,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, I actually think this could be a new phase 1269 01:06:28,613 --> 01:06:33,373 Speaker 5: of AI, which is a big step forward. If you've 1270 01:06:33,373 --> 01:06:35,373 Speaker 5: ever played with CHET, GPT or any of the others, 1271 01:06:35,373 --> 01:06:37,973 Speaker 5: it gives you an answer really fast, and sometimes that 1272 01:06:38,093 --> 01:06:39,013 Speaker 5: answer can feel a. 1273 01:06:38,933 --> 01:06:39,973 Speaker 12: Little bit rushed. 1274 01:06:40,533 --> 01:06:43,493 Speaker 5: What this allows it to do is to basically go 1275 01:06:43,573 --> 01:06:47,733 Speaker 5: away and think for a bit, which is rather complex 1276 01:06:48,093 --> 01:06:52,213 Speaker 5: because it can think now in a series of stages 1277 01:06:52,573 --> 01:06:56,493 Speaker 5: and can think basically more human like to solve multi 1278 01:06:56,493 --> 01:06:59,333 Speaker 5: step problems. So I will think about, well, that would 1279 01:06:59,333 --> 01:07:01,453 Speaker 5: be an issue, but then that would be a cause 1280 01:07:01,493 --> 01:07:02,933 Speaker 5: of effect, and then that would be a problem. 1281 01:07:02,973 --> 01:07:05,173 Speaker 12: It can actually now start to think about this. 1282 01:07:05,693 --> 01:07:09,693 Speaker 5: It's a little slower, it's significantly more expensive to access. 1283 01:07:09,893 --> 01:07:11,613 Speaker 12: But do you want to hear how scary this is? 1284 01:07:11,693 --> 01:07:11,853 Speaker 9: Jack? 1285 01:07:11,893 --> 01:07:13,333 Speaker 2: And for you? Yeah? Gone? 1286 01:07:13,533 --> 01:07:14,373 Speaker 7: So did you know. 1287 01:07:14,493 --> 01:07:18,573 Speaker 5: There's an International Mathematics Olympiad the mass Olympics, if you will, 1288 01:07:19,133 --> 01:07:22,413 Speaker 5: and to qualify the current best or the previously best 1289 01:07:22,413 --> 01:07:27,373 Speaker 5: GPT at CHET GPT four to zero model scored a 1290 01:07:27,453 --> 01:07:30,053 Speaker 5: thirteen percent to go to that test, So then there'sn't 1291 01:07:30,093 --> 01:07:30,573 Speaker 5: very good. 1292 01:07:30,453 --> 01:07:32,373 Speaker 2: Right, You're probably going to get in yeah, the. 1293 01:07:32,373 --> 01:07:37,693 Speaker 5: New model eighty three percent in an online coding competition. 1294 01:07:37,813 --> 01:07:41,093 Speaker 12: So doing like coding problems and trying to solve hard things. 1295 01:07:42,093 --> 01:07:45,253 Speaker 5: This new model got into the eighty nine percent tile 1296 01:07:45,293 --> 01:07:50,053 Speaker 5: of participants. The next model they think will be able 1297 01:07:50,093 --> 01:07:53,413 Speaker 5: to perform at PhD level for the types of things 1298 01:07:53,853 --> 01:07:57,133 Speaker 5: that we solve with the best minds in physics, chemistry 1299 01:07:57,173 --> 01:07:57,973 Speaker 5: and biology. 1300 01:07:58,293 --> 01:07:59,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. 1301 01:08:00,733 --> 01:08:05,253 Speaker 12: I said it was the next phase. It kind of feels. 1302 01:08:05,133 --> 01:08:08,173 Speaker 2: Like that is very very soon.

Do you reckon. That is a phenomenon that's 1319 01:08:51,413 --> 01:08:52,253 Speaker 2: occurring right now. 1320 01:08:53,213 --> 01:08:55,013 Speaker 6: I think there are a lot of people thinking about it, 1321 01:08:55,053 --> 01:08:57,453 Speaker 6: and one of the reasons is because of that interplay 1322 01:08:57,453 --> 01:09:00,573 Speaker 6: between interest rates and house prices. I think a lot 1323 01:09:00,653 --> 01:09:03,613 Speaker 6: of people are saying, well, if interest rates are really 1324 01:09:03,613 --> 01:09:07,253 Speaker 6: going to start plumassing over the next year, maybe I 1325 01:09:07,293 --> 01:09:09,933 Speaker 6: need to get in now, because then house prices might 1326 01:09:09,973 --> 01:09:13,293 Speaker 6: go up. But then a really interesting question is, well, 1327 01:09:13,373 --> 01:09:16,933 Speaker 6: if I'm the average New Zealander, how many investment properties? 1328 01:09:17,173 --> 01:09:19,373 Speaker 6: If I want to buy rental properties, how many could 1329 01:09:19,373 --> 01:09:22,173 Speaker 6: I potentially buy? And the trouble is, it's no use 1330 01:09:22,253 --> 01:09:25,373 Speaker 6: looking at people who started investing twenty years ago or 1331 01:09:25,413 --> 01:09:28,813 Speaker 6: thirty years ago and now own ten investment properties or 1332 01:09:28,893 --> 01:09:32,093 Speaker 6: five investment properties, because the banks have changed all of 1333 01:09:32,133 --> 01:09:36,053 Speaker 6: their lending rules. Twenty years ago, the Reserve Bank didn't 1334 01:09:36,053 --> 01:09:39,733 Speaker 6: have LVR restrictions, they didn't have detail restrictions. But of 1335 01:09:39,773 --> 01:09:43,093 Speaker 6: course house prices are much more expensive these days, and 1336 01:09:43,173 --> 01:09:45,453 Speaker 6: so this all kick started a little bit of a journey. 1337 01:09:45,493 --> 01:09:49,413 Speaker 6: It's an interesting story where I started looking at people 1338 01:09:49,453 --> 01:09:53,973 Speaker 6: who compete in Microsoft Excel competitions, because this is a 1339 01:09:54,013 --> 01:09:57,253 Speaker 6: real thing, jackets, and it's an e sport these. 1340 01:09:57,133 --> 01:09:58,693 Speaker 2: Days, and they're crazy how good they are. 1341 01:09:58,773 --> 01:10:02,093 Speaker 6: Ah, And the good news is there are a number 1342 01:10:02,133 --> 01:10:06,133 Speaker 6: of New Zealanders who actually do quite well in these competitions. 1343 01:10:06,373 --> 01:10:08,973 Speaker 6: So I called them up and I said, well, could 1344 01:10:09,053 --> 01:10:11,173 Speaker 6: you build me a spreadsheet to kind of answer this 1345 01:10:11,453 --> 01:10:14,733 Speaker 6: based on today's lending policy, all of the rules, today's 1346 01:10:14,733 --> 01:10:18,253 Speaker 6: house prices, and of course house prices are getting more expensive, 1347 01:10:18,373 --> 01:10:20,573 Speaker 6: incomes going up, all of these sorts of things. How 1348 01:10:20,573 --> 01:10:24,733 Speaker 6: many investment properties could someone, say, earning eighty grand a year, 1349 01:10:24,853 --> 01:10:27,293 Speaker 6: or a couple earning eighty grand a year each, how 1350 01:10:27,293 --> 01:10:30,053 Speaker 6: many investment properties could they buy over the next fifteen years? 1351 01:10:30,093 --> 01:10:32,653 Speaker 6: And it's quite fascinating. The answer is two to three 1352 01:10:32,733 --> 01:10:37,333 Speaker 6: pretty comfortably over the next fifteen years. And the average income, 1353 01:10:37,453 --> 01:10:39,893 Speaker 6: average household income is about one hundred and sixty k 1354 01:10:40,013 --> 01:10:41,933 Speaker 6: in Auckland, so that'd be pretty reasonable. 1355 01:10:42,453 --> 01:10:44,293 Speaker 2: I mean, okay, so just break us down a couple 1356 01:10:44,333 --> 01:10:46,173 Speaker 2: of things. So is that assuming that they own their 1357 01:10:46,173 --> 01:10:47,053 Speaker 2: house already? 1358 01:10:48,013 --> 01:10:50,693 Speaker 6: Yeah, assuming you've got a house already, right, and that 1359 01:10:50,773 --> 01:10:54,493 Speaker 6: you're not mortgaged totally up to the eyeballs, right, If 1360 01:10:54,533 --> 01:10:56,693 Speaker 6: you had the average house in New Zealand, which median 1361 01:10:56,773 --> 01:10:59,933 Speaker 6: sale price is seven hundred and seventy k average mortgage 1362 01:10:59,933 --> 01:11:02,333 Speaker 6: is actually quite surprisingly low. Jack, three hundred and nine 1363 01:11:02,413 --> 01:11:04,533 Speaker 6: k is the average mortgage, right, And if you're on 1364 01:11:04,613 --> 01:11:07,653 Speaker 6: the average household income in New Zealand two to three properties, 1365 01:11:07,893 --> 01:11:10,453 Speaker 6: if your incomes higher but higher than that, if your 1366 01:11:10,453 --> 01:11:12,653 Speaker 6: mortgage is larger, then that number would be a little 1367 01:11:12,693 --> 01:11:13,693 Speaker 6: bit smaller, right. 1368 01:11:13,773 --> 01:11:17,133 Speaker 2: So, and that's presuming that the investment properties are the 1369 01:11:17,653 --> 01:11:18,813 Speaker 2: average house price as well. 1370 01:11:19,533 --> 01:11:19,693 Speaker 9: Well. 1371 01:11:19,733 --> 01:11:22,733 Speaker 6: In this case, I've actually gone for a slightly lower figure. 1372 01:11:23,053 --> 01:11:26,333 Speaker 6: I'm starting out with the house price being about five 1373 01:11:26,413 --> 01:11:28,613 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty k, which would be a good entry 1374 01:11:28,693 --> 01:11:33,173 Speaker 6: level investment property. Just bearing in mind that typically property 1375 01:11:33,173 --> 01:11:36,853 Speaker 6: investors won't buy the average house price. They'll typically buy 1376 01:11:36,933 --> 01:11:39,293 Speaker 6: something a little bit on the more affordable side. 1377 01:11:39,133 --> 01:11:42,933 Speaker 2: Right Okay, yeah, yeah, so and often if you know, 1378 01:11:43,173 --> 01:11:46,613 Speaker 2: in our cities we're seeing much more intensification and things 1379 01:11:46,613 --> 01:11:50,093 Speaker 2: that could mean a townhouse, an apartment something like that 1380 01:11:50,173 --> 01:11:50,493 Speaker 2: as well. 1381 01:11:51,173 --> 01:11:52,813 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeah. 1382 01:11:52,573 --> 01:11:55,053 Speaker 2: So that's quite interesting. I think, you know, if you 1383 01:11:55,693 --> 01:11:57,253 Speaker 2: were to just ask a lot of people, you know, 1384 01:11:57,293 --> 01:11:59,573 Speaker 2: pick some random person off the street and said, looking 1385 01:11:59,653 --> 01:12:02,813 Speaker 2: at the average numbers across the board, how many investment 1386 01:12:02,853 --> 01:12:05,813 Speaker 2: properties could you potentially invest in with the settings as 1387 01:12:05,813 --> 01:12:07,973 Speaker 2: they are, I think people would have said two to three. 1388 01:12:08,013 --> 01:12:09,133 Speaker 2: I think that would have come as a bit of 1389 01:12:09,133 --> 01:12:12,573 Speaker 2: a surprise. But of course that does take some financial 1390 01:12:12,613 --> 01:12:14,293 Speaker 2: and budgeting discipline right. 1391 01:12:14,973 --> 01:12:17,333 Speaker 6: Well, absolutely, And it's assuming you do in the right 1392 01:12:17,373 --> 01:12:20,853 Speaker 6: things at the right time, that you're not having an 1393 01:12:20,893 --> 01:12:23,933 Speaker 6: extra baby than you already are right now, because if 1394 01:12:23,973 --> 01:12:27,493 Speaker 6: you're taking maternity or opportunity leave, that decreases your income. 1395 01:12:27,773 --> 01:12:30,493 Speaker 6: If you're taking out an extra higher purchase at Harvey 1396 01:12:30,533 --> 01:12:33,173 Speaker 6: normatal bias the T set, that means you've got more 1397 01:12:33,173 --> 01:12:35,613 Speaker 6: debt that's going to bring that number down slightly. So 1398 01:12:35,653 --> 01:12:37,413 Speaker 6: there's a lot of assumptions in it, but it's a 1399 01:12:37,453 --> 01:12:41,533 Speaker 6: pretty good ballpark to say, well, what could I actually do? 1400 01:12:41,893 --> 01:12:45,053 Speaker 6: And the other thing that's really difficult to forecast, or 1401 01:12:45,093 --> 01:12:47,093 Speaker 6: had been in the past, was that if you buy 1402 01:12:47,213 --> 01:12:51,253 Speaker 6: investment property over time, the house value is likely to 1403 01:12:51,293 --> 01:12:53,573 Speaker 6: go up. On top of that, the rental income is 1404 01:12:53,693 --> 01:12:56,133 Speaker 6: likely to go up, and those things help you then 1405 01:12:56,213 --> 01:12:59,853 Speaker 6: purchase your next investment property. Right and so because you 1406 01:12:59,893 --> 01:13:03,933 Speaker 6: get that compounding effect the more properties you own, that 1407 01:13:03,973 --> 01:13:05,613 Speaker 6: in the past has been hard to see. 1408 01:13:06,533 --> 01:13:08,213 Speaker 2: That's fascinating. How would you go in one of those 1409 01:13:08,213 --> 01:13:09,573 Speaker 2: Excel competitions you can. 1410 01:13:09,573 --> 01:13:10,533 Speaker 4: Ed God. 1411 01:13:10,533 --> 01:13:13,453 Speaker 6: To be honest, Jack, I have met in the match 1412 01:13:13,493 --> 01:13:17,933 Speaker 6: with these guys. They are absolutely extraordinary. I would not 1413 01:13:18,093 --> 01:13:20,173 Speaker 6: do too well. But one thing I have been doing 1414 01:13:20,213 --> 01:13:22,453 Speaker 6: to get better as I talk a lot to my 1415 01:13:22,573 --> 01:13:26,293 Speaker 6: new friend chat gpt to write me complex formulas. 1416 01:13:27,293 --> 01:13:30,053 Speaker 2: That's very good. I hadn't thought about using chat GPT 1417 01:13:30,213 --> 01:13:33,333 Speaker 2: for that. That's very that's very smart, that's cunning. Yeah, 1418 01:13:33,453 --> 01:13:36,613 Speaker 2: I can only remember about two or three formulas when 1419 01:13:36,653 --> 01:13:38,453 Speaker 2: I'm using Excel, you know, I always have to then 1420 01:13:38,493 --> 01:13:40,133 Speaker 2: go and google it by the by which time I 1421 01:13:40,213 --> 01:13:43,253 Speaker 2: sort of defeated the purpose of you know, using being 1422 01:13:43,253 --> 01:13:46,093 Speaker 2: efficient by having a by having a sweadsheet. But yeah, 1423 01:13:46,093 --> 01:13:47,893 Speaker 2: that's a great idea. 1424 01:13:48,053 --> 01:13:50,133 Speaker 6: Go and use your chat GPT. Soon you'll be one 1425 01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,733 Speaker 6: of these competitions as well, Chack. 1426 01:13:51,773 --> 01:13:54,173 Speaker 2: I'm not too sure about that. But yeah, hey, thank 1427 01:13:54,213 --> 01:13:55,613 Speaker 2: you so much, Ed.

It's kind of dubby, kind of rocky, 1532 01:19:10,733 --> 01:19:13,413 Speaker 2: kind of solely.

As well 1534 01:19:16,173 --> 01:19:17,373 Speaker 2: as that, I'm going to tell you about this new 1535 01:19:17,373 --> 01:19:20,493 Speaker 2: book about Bill Gates. It's a biography of Bill Gates 1536 01:19:20,493 --> 01:19:22,133 Speaker 2: and it just has such a good title. So the 1537 01:19:22,173 --> 01:19:27,693 Speaker 2: biography is Billionaire Nerd Savior King, the Bill Gates Story. 1538 01:19:27,733 --> 01:19:29,133 Speaker 2: So we're going to tell you about that book very 1539 01:19:29,133 --> 01:19:31,973 Speaker 2: shortly as well. Right now it is eight minutes past eleven. 1540 01:19:32,933 --> 01:19:35,133 Speaker 2: Trying to get you up with our sustainability commentator Kate 1541 01:19:35,213 --> 01:19:39,973 Speaker 2: Hall killeder what so back in February it was February 1542 01:19:39,973 --> 01:19:44,173 Speaker 2: a that they introduced the changes to recycling, the standardization 1543 01:19:44,373 --> 01:19:48,133 Speaker 2: of recycling around the country, which I think was only 1544 01:19:48,213 --> 01:19:52,133 Speaker 2: about thirty years too late, Like it just seemed like 1545 01:19:52,173 --> 01:19:54,973 Speaker 2: one of those incredibly obvious and rational things that they 1546 01:19:54,973 --> 01:19:56,813 Speaker 2: could have done to make life a little bit easier 1547 01:19:56,853 --> 01:19:59,333 Speaker 2: so that you didn't have different recycling standards in different 1548 01:19:59,373 --> 01:20:02,573 Speaker 2: parts of New Zealand. But when they changed, they changed 1549 01:20:02,573 --> 01:20:05,533 Speaker 2: the recycling standards in February. I reckon a lot of people, 1550 01:20:05,573 --> 01:20:08,533 Speaker 2: and I will be on, including people in my household, 1551 01:20:09,093 --> 01:20:10,813 Speaker 2: might have been a little bit confused about some of 1552 01:20:10,813 --> 01:20:13,413 Speaker 2: the things that you can and can't recycle anymore. And 1553 01:20:13,453 --> 01:20:16,453 Speaker 2: I was asking people before eleven o'clock can you recycle 1554 01:20:16,533 --> 01:20:19,493 Speaker 2: an ice cream container lid? And of course the answer is. 1555 01:20:21,173 --> 01:20:24,453 Speaker 18: No, you cannot put that on your curb side recycling. 1556 01:20:24,773 --> 01:20:27,013 Speaker 18: It can be recycled, but you cannot put it in 1557 01:20:27,053 --> 01:20:30,613 Speaker 18: your curb side. 1558 01:20:28,493 --> 01:20:36,093 Speaker 2: I reckon. I reckon. A majority said yes. I think 1559 01:20:36,133 --> 01:20:39,653 Speaker 2: most people know that you can't recycle a milk bottle lid. 1560 01:20:40,013 --> 01:20:42,173 Speaker 2: I would hope they do, so you know that one 1561 01:20:42,533 --> 01:20:44,533 Speaker 2: I reckon. A majority would say you couldn't recycle a 1562 01:20:44,573 --> 01:20:46,613 Speaker 2: milk bottle lid, and they'd be right there. But I 1563 01:20:46,653 --> 01:20:48,693 Speaker 2: reckon A majority would say that you could recycle an 1564 01:20:48,693 --> 01:20:50,653 Speaker 2: ice cream container lid because it feels like it's made 1565 01:20:50,653 --> 01:20:52,613 Speaker 2: of the same stuff as the ice cream container itself. 1566 01:20:53,173 --> 01:20:54,053 Speaker 2: Don't you well. 1567 01:20:54,653 --> 01:20:59,493 Speaker 18: Totally, and even with milk bottle lids, you can recycle 1568 01:20:59,533 --> 01:21:01,053 Speaker 18: those lids. 1569 01:21:01,173 --> 01:21:03,733 Speaker 2: It's curb side curbside curbs. 1570 01:21:03,853 --> 01:21:05,773 Speaker 18: And we know the reason why we can't put the 1571 01:21:05,773 --> 01:21:09,213 Speaker 18: lids in is because you know, those little tiny lids, 1572 01:21:09,533 --> 01:21:13,213 Speaker 18: if there's hundreds thousands of them, they get caught in 1573 01:21:13,253 --> 01:21:17,733 Speaker 18: the recycling sorting machines. That's one of the main reasons, 1574 01:21:18,053 --> 01:21:19,813 Speaker 18: you know, why we can't put lids in there. So 1575 01:21:19,853 --> 01:21:22,173 Speaker 18: when people look at the ice cream container lid, they're like, well, 1576 01:21:22,493 --> 01:21:25,693 Speaker 18: that's quite big. Yeah, it's not a little milk bottle 1577 01:21:25,733 --> 01:21:31,333 Speaker 18: top lid. However, the sorting machines often mistake those slack 1578 01:21:31,453 --> 01:21:34,413 Speaker 18: ice can contain the lids with paper, and so they 1579 01:21:34,533 --> 01:21:38,853 Speaker 18: end up contaminating the paper sauce. So it's less about 1580 01:21:38,973 --> 01:21:41,253 Speaker 18: you know, what can and can't be recycled, and it's 1581 01:21:41,253 --> 01:21:44,773 Speaker 18: more we're dealing with a mixed curb side recycling scheme, 1582 01:21:44,853 --> 01:21:50,253 Speaker 18: which generally isn't that isn't that great? Yeah, but you 1583 01:21:50,293 --> 01:21:52,173 Speaker 18: know that's what we're dealing with, and so therefore we 1584 01:21:52,253 --> 01:21:55,533 Speaker 18: can't put everything into that curb side recycling bend. There 1585 01:21:55,653 --> 01:21:57,613 Speaker 18: other places that we can put lids. 1586 01:21:57,613 --> 01:22:01,133 Speaker 2: Fifty five years since we put human beings on the moon, right, 1587 01:22:01,733 --> 01:22:05,173 Speaker 2: and that's amazing when we've seend like tourists to space. 1588 01:22:05,293 --> 01:22:08,413 Speaker 2: These days, we have commercial engines going up to the 1589 01:22:08,413 --> 01:22:12,653 Speaker 2: International Space Station, and yet we apparently can't design a 1590 01:22:12,693 --> 01:22:15,693 Speaker 2: machine that won't get confused about an iceicream container lid. 1591 01:22:16,773 --> 01:22:22,813 Speaker 2: I'm there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe I'll make a 1592 01:22:22,813 --> 01:22:26,653 Speaker 2: Difference's tricky, but okay. But to your point, I'm being 1593 01:22:26,693 --> 01:22:28,893 Speaker 2: misleading when I say you can't recycle them, because you 1594 01:22:28,933 --> 01:22:30,813 Speaker 2: can recycle them, you just can't put them in your 1595 01:22:30,893 --> 01:22:35,013 Speaker 2: curb side recycling. So what can you do with your 1596 01:22:35,133 --> 01:22:37,493 Speaker 2: milk bottle lids and your ice cream container lids? 1597 01:22:38,213 --> 01:22:42,333 Speaker 18: So literally, just in the last week or two, we 1598 01:22:42,453 --> 01:22:46,333 Speaker 18: now have a cats and lids recycling scheme that the 1599 01:22:46,373 --> 01:22:50,733 Speaker 18: Packaging Forum have launched, and yeah, it is really good 1600 01:22:50,733 --> 01:22:52,533 Speaker 18: and I think will actually help a lot of people 1601 01:22:52,573 --> 01:22:55,213 Speaker 18: go oh, I actually can't put those in the recycling 1602 01:22:55,253 --> 01:22:58,893 Speaker 18: through have less contamination in the recyclingmentes, which would be awesome. 1603 01:22:58,973 --> 01:23:02,773 Speaker 18: So essentially that means at different drop off points, which 1604 01:23:02,773 --> 01:23:05,213 Speaker 18: are a lot of New Worlds and packing saves, you 1605 01:23:05,253 --> 01:23:10,173 Speaker 18: can find kind of your focused local place to drop 1606 01:23:10,213 --> 01:23:14,213 Speaker 18: them off online, but you'll see it often decide where 1607 01:23:14,253 --> 01:23:17,173 Speaker 18: the soft plastics is. There'll be two other boxes and 1608 01:23:17,213 --> 01:23:19,333 Speaker 18: one of them will be some metal lids, and one 1609 01:23:19,333 --> 01:23:22,493 Speaker 18: of them will be for your plastic lids and so 1610 01:23:23,093 --> 01:23:27,893 Speaker 18: container lids, milk bottle caps, you know, sprites, coke bottle caps, 1611 01:23:28,573 --> 01:23:30,893 Speaker 18: anything like that. You can put those lids in if 1612 01:23:30,893 --> 01:23:33,053 Speaker 18: they are clean and they are dry. 1613 01:23:33,413 --> 01:23:36,333 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, yeah, that's cool, that's important too. Yeah, right, 1614 01:23:36,413 --> 01:23:39,493 Speaker 2: So it just means another like sorting system at home. 1615 01:23:39,613 --> 01:23:41,893 Speaker 2: And I know that, I know that in the hall 1616 01:23:41,933 --> 01:23:46,213 Speaker 2: household you have all sorts of exquisite and well considered 1617 01:23:46,213 --> 01:23:49,173 Speaker 2: sorting systems. But for those of us who perhaps haven't 1618 01:23:49,533 --> 01:23:51,733 Speaker 2: maybe made the kind of progress you have on the 1619 01:23:51,773 --> 01:23:55,293 Speaker 2: recycling front, what would be an easy way just to 1620 01:23:55,653 --> 01:23:57,773 Speaker 2: set up a system at home whereby you're saving these 1621 01:23:57,813 --> 01:23:58,813 Speaker 2: things and then taking them in. 1622 01:23:59,853 --> 01:24:05,333 Speaker 18: So we have been recycling our caps and lids since, yeah, forever, 1623 01:24:05,493 --> 01:24:08,173 Speaker 18: because we've been taking them to our local recycling center. 1624 01:24:08,373 --> 01:24:09,973 Speaker 18: Now it's just going to be easier because there's more 1625 01:24:10,013 --> 01:24:14,173 Speaker 18: drop off points. So we have a askam container that 1626 01:24:14,333 --> 01:24:16,573 Speaker 18: is under the sink and that's where we put all 1627 01:24:16,613 --> 01:24:20,813 Speaker 18: our lids and so, yeah, any lids, literally, any lids 1628 01:24:20,853 --> 01:24:22,733 Speaker 18: that goes on top. No matter what it looks like, 1629 01:24:22,773 --> 01:24:25,293 Speaker 18: it's made of plastic or messil, we put it into 1630 01:24:25,333 --> 01:24:30,813 Speaker 18: that container. So just like people do with this soft recycling, 1631 01:24:30,933 --> 01:24:33,373 Speaker 18: they take it to the supermarket or you know, put 1632 01:24:33,373 --> 01:24:36,453 Speaker 18: it in your car, and leads are really literally small, 1633 01:24:36,613 --> 01:24:39,173 Speaker 18: and so to be honest, even though we've been taking 1634 01:24:39,213 --> 01:24:42,493 Speaker 18: that to the recycling center, I've probably only had to 1635 01:24:42,693 --> 01:24:45,333 Speaker 18: do it. I mean, we obviously were trying to try 1636 01:24:45,333 --> 01:24:45,933 Speaker 18: to reduce all. 1637 01:24:47,573 --> 01:24:47,773 Speaker 19: Use it. 1638 01:24:52,853 --> 01:24:59,413 Speaker 18: Not that actually I do have an ice cre but 1639 01:24:59,493 --> 01:25:02,373 Speaker 18: I've only yeah, we've probably only had to drop that off, 1640 01:25:02,413 --> 01:25:06,253 Speaker 18: you know, like once. So it's quite good because they asked. 1641 01:25:06,733 --> 01:25:08,373 Speaker 18: I know that sounds like a big deal to have 1642 01:25:08,413 --> 01:25:11,613 Speaker 18: another container there. But if you think lids go in 1643 01:25:11,973 --> 01:25:13,733 Speaker 18: there and you know, put a label on it. If 1644 01:25:13,773 --> 01:25:15,853 Speaker 18: you have lots of people in your home, tell them 1645 01:25:15,893 --> 01:25:18,213 Speaker 18: about this, you know, let them know and let them 1646 01:25:18,253 --> 01:25:21,053 Speaker 18: know why they shouldn't put it in the recycling because 1647 01:25:21,053 --> 01:25:25,013 Speaker 18: in the recycling just refresher course number one, two and 1648 01:25:25,133 --> 01:25:29,253 Speaker 18: five plastics again clean and dry, and if they don't 1649 01:25:29,293 --> 01:25:31,893 Speaker 18: have a one, two or five, do not wish cycle 1650 01:25:31,973 --> 01:25:35,453 Speaker 18: them into your recycling. Them is just going to cause havoc. 1651 01:25:36,293 --> 01:25:38,493 Speaker 18: And you can put paper in as long as it's 1652 01:25:38,533 --> 01:25:43,053 Speaker 18: bigger than an envelope kind of rough size. So yeah, 1653 01:25:43,133 --> 01:25:45,573 Speaker 18: you have one adventure for your recycling, one bene for 1654 01:25:45,613 --> 01:25:48,333 Speaker 18: your caps and lids, and you can really really good 1655 01:25:48,373 --> 01:25:50,213 Speaker 18: that they are going to the right place and you're 1656 01:25:50,253 --> 01:25:52,813 Speaker 18: not kind of yeah, messing up all of all the 1657 01:25:52,853 --> 01:25:55,733 Speaker 18: recycling systems, especially since you know, we now have this 1658 01:25:55,853 --> 01:25:59,413 Speaker 18: standardized scheme, which means hopefully we can actually be recycling 1659 01:25:59,453 --> 01:26:03,893 Speaker 18: more because our curb side bins aren't so full of 1660 01:26:03,973 --> 01:26:04,653 Speaker 18: the wrong stuff. 1661 01:26:04,693 --> 01:26:06,813 Speaker 2: So okay, I'm just going to reiterate that one more time, one, 1662 01:26:07,053 --> 01:26:10,213 Speaker 2: two and five. That's what you can recycle and give 1663 01:26:10,293 --> 01:26:12,213 Speaker 2: us the give us the spiel, give us the line 1664 01:26:12,253 --> 01:26:15,053 Speaker 2: again on trying not to use the stuff in the 1665 01:26:15,053 --> 01:26:17,533 Speaker 2: first place, because that's probably the most important message. 1666 01:26:17,653 --> 01:26:18,613 Speaker 17: Well it is. 1667 01:26:18,733 --> 01:26:21,533 Speaker 18: I really I'm always user tent to talk about recycling, 1668 01:26:21,573 --> 01:26:24,413 Speaker 18: to be honest, because people ask me a lot about 1669 01:26:24,453 --> 01:26:26,813 Speaker 18: it where they say, oh, you'd be so proud of me, Kate, 1670 01:26:26,853 --> 01:26:29,973 Speaker 18: am I recycled and full, and like, that's great that 1671 01:26:30,053 --> 01:26:32,493 Speaker 18: we've had these recycling schemes. It's great that we've got 1672 01:26:32,493 --> 01:26:35,293 Speaker 18: this new caps and lid scheme, But it needs to 1673 01:26:35,333 --> 01:26:38,893 Speaker 18: be the last resort. So yeah, we need to focus 1674 01:26:38,933 --> 01:26:42,693 Speaker 18: on reducing it from get go. You know our return schemes. Actually, 1675 01:26:42,853 --> 01:26:45,493 Speaker 18: my local New World and Fong Flower they now have 1676 01:26:45,733 --> 01:26:49,573 Speaker 18: the Ballavaca glass bottle return scheme. So instead of putting 1677 01:26:49,613 --> 01:26:53,333 Speaker 18: that glass model or you know, a plastic bottle into 1678 01:26:53,413 --> 01:26:56,373 Speaker 18: your recycling bin, I actually bring that glass bottle back 1679 01:26:56,453 --> 01:26:59,093 Speaker 18: to New World, pick up the full one, and I 1680 01:26:59,133 --> 01:27:03,253 Speaker 18: get six dollars off six bucks. Yeah, because I paid 1681 01:27:03,293 --> 01:27:06,093 Speaker 18: for six dollars that first one. Yeah, I've paid six 1682 01:27:06,133 --> 01:27:11,093 Speaker 18: dollars for that right, yeah, the return it yeah, Yeah. 1683 01:27:12,053 --> 01:27:13,933 Speaker 18: Schemes like that are awesome. So we need to be 1684 01:27:13,973 --> 01:27:17,573 Speaker 18: focusing on supporting those reduse schemes, thinking about how can 1685 01:27:17,653 --> 01:27:21,013 Speaker 18: I actually reduce the amount of recycling I have? And yeah, 1686 01:27:21,213 --> 01:27:25,293 Speaker 18: using and enjoying the recycling schemes properly, but just holding 1687 01:27:25,373 --> 01:27:28,373 Speaker 18: less kind of importance on recycling. I think we'd all 1688 01:27:28,853 --> 01:27:29,893 Speaker 18: do much better off. 1689 01:27:30,053 --> 01:27:33,133 Speaker 2: Great message as per, Thank you so much, Kate. You 1690 01:27:33,173 --> 01:27:34,933 Speaker 2: can find Kate of course on all of the social 1691 01:27:34,973 --> 01:27:38,013 Speaker 2: media platforms to search ethically Kate, and I'm going to 1692 01:27:38,053 --> 01:27:39,853 Speaker 2: give you that website once again. So this is the 1693 01:27:39,853 --> 01:27:41,453 Speaker 2: website if you want to find out where you can 1694 01:27:41,533 --> 01:27:45,613 Speaker 2: go and recycle caps and lids. It's Caps Lids dot 1695 01:27:45,693 --> 01:27:50,013 Speaker 2: Recycling dot Kiwi dot NZ. And if you don't think 1696 01:27:50,053 --> 01:27:52,573 Speaker 2: you can remember that you haven't scribbled it down, don't stress. 1697 01:27:52,573 --> 01:27:54,413 Speaker 2: We we'll make sure that that website's up on the 1698 01:27:54,453 --> 01:27:56,173 Speaker 2: news talks. He'd be website as well, so you can 1699 01:27:56,173 --> 01:27:58,573 Speaker 2: go and follow it through there. It is seventeen minutes 1700 01:27:58,613 --> 01:28:01,613 Speaker 2: past eleven. Our travel correspondent is going to take us 1701 01:28:01,653 --> 01:28:04,813 Speaker 2: through North Queensland next Travel. 1702 01:28:04,613 --> 01:28:08,773 Speaker 1: With Wendy WU Tours Fully Inclusive Tours around the World. 1703 01:28:09,493 --> 01:28:13,253 Speaker 2: Travel correspondent is mister Mike Yardley. He's with us this morning, 1704 01:28:13,333 --> 01:28:17,293 Speaker 2: Kilda Cilder. Jack, Well, we're looking at tropical delights in 1705 01:28:17,373 --> 01:28:20,133 Speaker 2: North Queensland. This is a gorgeous part of the world 1706 01:28:20,133 --> 01:28:23,133 Speaker 2: and Ken's is kind of the gateway to the rainforest 1707 01:28:23,173 --> 01:28:25,453 Speaker 2: and the reef, right, So did you take to the water. 1708 01:28:26,333 --> 01:28:28,213 Speaker 20: It would be very rude not to take to the 1709 01:28:28,253 --> 01:28:30,893 Speaker 20: water in these parts, Jack, as you know. So yeah, 1710 01:28:30,893 --> 01:28:33,333 Speaker 20: what I love about Cairns is it's such a quick 1711 01:28:33,373 --> 01:28:36,613 Speaker 20: and easy launch pad to the barrier reef. And even 1712 01:28:36,653 --> 01:28:39,013 Speaker 20: if you're a new bee to the reef, there are 1713 01:28:39,053 --> 01:28:42,413 Speaker 20: so many easy options from Cairns. So, for example, if 1714 01:28:42,453 --> 01:28:45,413 Speaker 20: you are traveling as a family and you want to 1715 01:28:45,453 --> 01:28:47,493 Speaker 20: take a day trip out into the big Blue, I 1716 01:28:47,493 --> 01:28:51,373 Speaker 20: would suggest going to Fitzroy Island. So that's only a 1717 01:28:51,413 --> 01:28:54,093 Speaker 20: forty five minute very right away. You can actually stay 1718 01:28:54,093 --> 01:28:56,973 Speaker 20: on the island, but it's an awesome day trip because 1719 01:28:57,253 --> 01:29:01,853 Speaker 20: it just seems to distill all the great elements into 1720 01:29:01,933 --> 01:29:06,533 Speaker 20: one day. You've got superb walking trails, classic blonde beat, 1721 01:29:07,213 --> 01:29:10,813 Speaker 20: you've got vivid coral gardens to snork around, teaming with 1722 01:29:10,893 --> 01:29:13,853 Speaker 20: tropical fish. And they've even got a turtle rehab center 1723 01:29:13,893 --> 01:29:17,333 Speaker 20: on the island which essentially services all of the North 1724 01:29:17,413 --> 01:29:21,773 Speaker 20: Queensland coast, so they'll get like damaged turtles from Cape 1725 01:29:21,893 --> 01:29:27,093 Speaker 20: York that end up at Fitzroy Island. So yeah, a 1726 01:29:27,373 --> 01:29:31,333 Speaker 20: really really good island to explore, and like a lot 1727 01:29:31,333 --> 01:29:34,373 Speaker 20: of the speckles, these little islands off Shawjack from Ken's. 1728 01:29:34,533 --> 01:29:37,613 Speaker 20: It just amazes me that before the Last ice Age 1729 01:29:37,693 --> 01:29:40,533 Speaker 20: they were actually connected to the mainland, So fitz Roy 1730 01:29:40,693 --> 01:29:44,213 Speaker 20: was basically Ken's East ten thousand. 1731 01:29:43,893 --> 01:29:46,653 Speaker 2: Years ago, right, that makes sense. I guess if you 1732 01:29:46,693 --> 01:29:49,333 Speaker 2: look at the map of the North Queensland cost Yes, 1733 01:29:50,013 --> 01:29:51,933 Speaker 2: so if you had about further north in north of 1734 01:29:52,013 --> 01:29:54,733 Speaker 2: Kean's why is Palm Cove so popular? 1735 01:29:55,293 --> 01:29:58,413 Speaker 20: Well, I think there is a hint of HAWAIII to 1736 01:29:58,573 --> 01:30:05,493 Speaker 20: Palm Cove. There's just very tail in terms of vacation beauty. 1737 01:30:05,693 --> 01:30:08,213 Speaker 20: So it's about half an hour up the Captain Cook Highway. 1738 01:30:08,293 --> 01:30:11,933 Speaker 20: And so if you're trucking up to Port Douglas, just 1739 01:30:12,053 --> 01:30:15,533 Speaker 20: calling to Palm Cove, which is just off the highway, 1740 01:30:15,653 --> 01:30:21,173 Speaker 20: and it is just so leafy, so languid, stretched along 1741 01:30:21,213 --> 01:30:23,853 Speaker 20: the coral sea. And I've got all of these gorgeous 1742 01:30:23,893 --> 01:30:27,333 Speaker 20: old paper bark mela luca trees flanking the beach front. 1743 01:30:28,413 --> 01:30:31,973 Speaker 20: Then I've got a few waving palms interspersed. But there's 1744 01:30:32,053 --> 01:30:36,133 Speaker 20: just this really nice shaded village at moss about Palm Cove, 1745 01:30:36,613 --> 01:30:40,293 Speaker 20: as I say, very reminiscent of some of Hawaii's beachside villages. 1746 01:30:40,413 --> 01:30:43,413 Speaker 20: And there's just some you know, little casual eteries and 1747 01:30:43,453 --> 01:30:47,893 Speaker 20: cafes dotted through the trees. It's just lazy day heaven, 1748 01:30:47,973 --> 01:30:48,733 Speaker 20: I reckon Jack. 1749 01:30:49,053 --> 01:30:49,253 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1750 01:30:49,373 --> 01:30:53,093 Speaker 2: Nice. If you're up for an indigenous experience, what can 1751 01:30:53,133 --> 01:30:54,813 Speaker 2: you expect at most and gorge? 1752 01:30:55,693 --> 01:30:59,573 Speaker 20: This was my runaway highlight. I joined a dream time 1753 01:30:59,653 --> 01:31:02,533 Speaker 20: walk with a cuckoo yalongy guide called Ben. He was 1754 01:31:02,693 --> 01:31:05,893 Speaker 20: twenty years old, and oh my god, he had the 1755 01:31:05,973 --> 01:31:09,693 Speaker 20: wisdom of a ninety year old. So we rocked into 1756 01:31:09,733 --> 01:31:14,253 Speaker 20: the rainforest and Ben just prized open all the secrets, 1757 01:31:14,333 --> 01:31:17,053 Speaker 20: the food sauce, to the pharmacy, the hardware store inside 1758 01:31:17,093 --> 01:31:21,413 Speaker 20: the rainforest. It was just mind blowing. Best of all, 1759 01:31:21,413 --> 01:31:25,173 Speaker 20: we passed by some enormous strangler fig trees and I 1760 01:31:25,173 --> 01:31:28,573 Speaker 20: could tell Ben was getting sort of quite spiritual as 1761 01:31:28,613 --> 01:31:30,973 Speaker 20: he was looking at these trees. And he said to 1762 01:31:31,013 --> 01:31:34,013 Speaker 20: me that when he dies, he's going to be buried 1763 01:31:34,493 --> 01:31:38,293 Speaker 20: under that tree, and he pointed to a particular tree. 1764 01:31:38,693 --> 01:31:41,693 Speaker 20: And apparently, after his body's placed at the bottom of 1765 01:31:41,733 --> 01:31:44,853 Speaker 20: the tree, the figs, the strangler figs, will sort of 1766 01:31:44,893 --> 01:31:48,133 Speaker 20: weave their magic. The vines will wrap around his body 1767 01:31:48,173 --> 01:31:51,093 Speaker 20: and can consumers remains and return them to the earth 1768 01:31:51,373 --> 01:31:55,013 Speaker 20: as you do. The other thing, Jack, is that Ben 1769 01:31:55,053 --> 01:31:58,773 Speaker 20: said to me that on Fraser Island the traditional burial 1770 01:31:58,933 --> 01:32:03,493 Speaker 20: still practiced today. There entails putting the body high up 1771 01:32:03,493 --> 01:32:08,333 Speaker 20: in the tree because otherwise the dingoes will get to them. Wow, 1772 01:32:08,613 --> 01:32:11,093 Speaker 20: which would not be a good way to go. No, 1773 01:32:12,413 --> 01:32:14,973 Speaker 20: then there are the bouncing stones. Have you heard about 1774 01:32:14,973 --> 01:32:19,053 Speaker 20: these bouncing stones? No, so Cuckoo Yellonge They've got these 1775 01:32:19,133 --> 01:32:23,453 Speaker 20: legendary bouncing stones and as been demonstrated to me, they 1776 01:32:23,493 --> 01:32:26,453 Speaker 20: do bounce off each other like bouncing balls. 1777 01:32:26,773 --> 01:32:28,013 Speaker 4: It's just wacky. 1778 01:32:28,333 --> 01:32:31,133 Speaker 20: Yeah. And many of them are sourced from a beach 1779 01:32:31,213 --> 01:32:34,413 Speaker 20: called Thornton Beach. Some are stolen because this is like 1780 01:32:34,493 --> 01:32:38,453 Speaker 20: sacred terf for Cuckoo Yellongy and most that are stolen 1781 01:32:38,573 --> 01:32:42,133 Speaker 20: generally are returned toward off bad luck. But they are 1782 01:32:42,173 --> 01:32:47,013 Speaker 20: a geological phenomenon. So these stones have been studied by academics. 1783 01:32:47,173 --> 01:32:51,373 Speaker 20: They're as big as rugby balls, but they're actually classified 1784 01:32:51,413 --> 01:32:56,013 Speaker 20: as pebbles. They're very fine grained pebbles and the geologists 1785 01:32:56,053 --> 01:32:59,853 Speaker 20: say that it's hardened silica celtstone. But they've got this 1786 01:33:00,093 --> 01:33:03,373 Speaker 20: incredible bouncing quality, quite wacking. 1787 01:33:03,453 --> 01:33:06,413 Speaker 2: That sounds amazing. Yeah, what an experience that's out. So 1788 01:33:06,453 --> 01:33:09,933 Speaker 2: it sounds really incredible. Okay. Yeah, Now chocolate production is 1789 01:33:10,093 --> 01:33:13,133 Speaker 2: big business in North Queensland, right, very quick. 1790 01:33:13,013 --> 01:33:16,533 Speaker 20: Mention about this, Jack. Yes, chocolate fans rejoice because the 1791 01:33:16,613 --> 01:33:22,093 Speaker 20: region around Mossman Port, Douglas Daintree Rainforest it's become a 1792 01:33:22,213 --> 01:33:27,693 Speaker 20: punkhouse producer of Australian cocoa and there are various commercial plantations, 1793 01:33:27,693 --> 01:33:31,013 Speaker 20: all engaged in the bean tabar, chocolate making bizo. So 1794 01:33:31,893 --> 01:33:34,813 Speaker 20: in the Shannonvale Valley, which is just north of Port Douglas, 1795 01:33:34,893 --> 01:33:36,653 Speaker 20: you can go to the Australian Chocolate Farm and they 1796 01:33:36,733 --> 01:33:40,093 Speaker 20: give you the most amazing and very generous farmed her 1797 01:33:40,173 --> 01:33:43,373 Speaker 20: and tasting experience. Oh yeah, so that's the list. 1798 01:33:43,453 --> 01:33:46,493 Speaker 2: Definitely, No, that sounds good. And speaking of treats, what 1799 01:33:46,573 --> 01:33:48,253 Speaker 2: about tropical fruit wine. 1800 01:33:48,653 --> 01:33:53,253 Speaker 20: Well, it's in a quiet taste admittedly, but worth a devil. 1801 01:33:53,373 --> 01:33:56,333 Speaker 20: So also in the shannon Vale Valley there is the 1802 01:33:56,373 --> 01:33:59,053 Speaker 20: Tropical Fruit Winery and the Woodall family have been running 1803 01:33:59,053 --> 01:34:01,893 Speaker 20: this for about twenty years or so. I sipped and 1804 01:34:01,933 --> 01:34:04,573 Speaker 20: swirled my way through all sorts of interesting flavors like 1805 01:34:04,733 --> 01:34:10,773 Speaker 20: mango wine, lime passion, fruit ginger, even a fortified chocolate wine. 1806 01:34:11,093 --> 01:34:14,773 Speaker 20: But the best one of all was a particular flavor 1807 01:34:14,853 --> 01:34:18,133 Speaker 20: I had never come across. It's called Jawbo chaca bar. 1808 01:34:19,133 --> 01:34:22,173 Speaker 20: And if it sounds Amazonian, that's because it is. It's 1809 01:34:22,173 --> 01:34:27,173 Speaker 20: an Amazonian great Jaobo chaca bar. And the reason they 1810 01:34:27,333 --> 01:34:31,933 Speaker 20: growing this in shannon Vale is because it's the only reliable, 1811 01:34:32,293 --> 01:34:37,933 Speaker 20: red sort of tasting wine that they could produce in 1812 01:34:37,973 --> 01:34:42,493 Speaker 20: the area. So yeah, very very interesting taste. By the way, 1813 01:34:42,533 --> 01:34:46,693 Speaker 20: the passion fruit, it's kind of like a semion. It's 1814 01:34:47,053 --> 01:34:50,973 Speaker 20: really interesting, very dry, full flavored, really good with cheese. 1815 01:34:51,613 --> 01:34:54,853 Speaker 20: And the dry mango wine. If you're a Shardona drinker, 1816 01:34:55,173 --> 01:34:58,453 Speaker 20: you will love the dry mango. So yeah, something certainly 1817 01:34:58,493 --> 01:34:59,053 Speaker 20: worth Deblin. 1818 01:34:59,413 --> 01:35:01,853 Speaker 2: So is it quite dry? See this is when you 1819 01:35:01,893 --> 01:35:05,093 Speaker 2: hear those fruits, right, passion fruit, mango, and automatically I 1820 01:35:05,093 --> 01:35:08,213 Speaker 2: think all that sounds pretty sticky. It sounds kind of syrupy. 1821 01:35:08,573 --> 01:35:12,133 Speaker 20: No. No, Through the production process, yeah, they do become 1822 01:35:12,213 --> 01:35:13,733 Speaker 20: generally drier than you'd think. 1823 01:35:14,973 --> 01:35:18,213 Speaker 2: I reckon that could be a bit of me. What 1824 01:35:18,253 --> 01:35:19,893 Speaker 2: about standout eateries. 1825 01:35:20,333 --> 01:35:23,093 Speaker 20: Two recommendations in Cairn's. I went to a place called 1826 01:35:23,173 --> 01:35:25,533 Speaker 20: Salt House, which is on the Arena Points, so as 1827 01:35:25,573 --> 01:35:29,253 Speaker 20: the name would suggest, you get mouthwatering views. I have 1828 01:35:29,413 --> 01:35:35,053 Speaker 20: these halfshell roasted Queensland scallops which were just tubo charged 1829 01:35:35,573 --> 01:35:40,333 Speaker 20: with what they were accompanied with curry sauce, pineapple relish 1830 01:35:40,413 --> 01:35:44,693 Speaker 20: my newfound favorite in Vietnamese mint. That all together with 1831 01:35:44,853 --> 01:35:47,173 Speaker 20: scollops and that's really good, and wash it down with 1832 01:35:47,213 --> 01:35:49,893 Speaker 20: the Flying Fox cocktail, which was the drink of the 1833 01:35:49,973 --> 01:35:53,653 Speaker 20: trip check and by the way, in Paul Douglas, I 1834 01:35:53,733 --> 01:35:57,773 Speaker 20: went to a restaurant called Sea Bean. Very Mediterranean leaning, 1835 01:35:58,133 --> 01:36:00,573 Speaker 20: but I ate something I had never tried before. I 1836 01:36:00,933 --> 01:36:03,973 Speaker 20: don't know if you've had it. Palestinian kofta. 1837 01:36:04,813 --> 01:36:08,333 Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I think I probably have to be honest. 1838 01:36:08,733 --> 01:36:14,733 Speaker 20: Was it lamb yes, so yeah, like baked lamb meat petty? 1839 01:36:14,973 --> 01:36:17,973 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And and they're sort of like halfway between 1840 01:36:17,973 --> 01:36:20,333 Speaker 2: a petty and a meatball. Ah exactly. 1841 01:36:20,413 --> 01:36:24,573 Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll layer them with vegetables and hamas 1842 01:36:24,613 --> 01:36:27,853 Speaker 20: and tabuuli. Oh my god, it's so good. The amazing 1843 01:36:27,853 --> 01:36:31,733 Speaker 20: thing is, Jack, I never realized food could become so politicized. 1844 01:36:32,013 --> 01:36:36,213 Speaker 20: Apparently this restaurants had protesters outside, but daring to put 1845 01:36:36,253 --> 01:36:38,013 Speaker 20: something Palestinian on the menu. 1846 01:36:38,133 --> 01:36:42,773 Speaker 2: For goodness sake, that is ridiculous. Having spent a little 1847 01:36:42,773 --> 01:36:45,093 Speaker 2: bit of time in that part of the world, I mean, 1848 01:36:45,133 --> 01:36:47,093 Speaker 2: this is what makes that part of the world so 1849 01:36:47,133 --> 01:36:51,613 Speaker 2: good is all of those cultures have mixed.

That's good because remember last season, how 1936 01:41:19,173 --> 01:41:21,293 Speaker 2: it was just ridiculous how we were like, well the 1937 01:41:21,493 --> 01:41:24,333 Speaker 2: had the greatest fan We're like, well they won about 1938 01:41:24,373 --> 01:41:26,253 Speaker 2: one game of the season, but they're still in the 1939 01:41:26,333 --> 01:41:30,373 Speaker 2: run the top eight. But then this lucky loser thing, like, 1940 01:41:30,653 --> 01:41:33,053 Speaker 2: h it's just a bit hard to explain. It's lover 1941 01:41:33,133 --> 01:41:34,653 Speaker 2: the top four. Yeah, well there is that. 1942 01:41:34,813 --> 01:41:37,253 Speaker 21: I guess what that does is exactly what you just said. 1943 01:41:37,293 --> 01:41:40,093 Speaker 21: It takes a lot of teams and their fans out 1944 01:41:40,133 --> 01:41:41,693 Speaker 21: of the running in the last two or three because 1945 01:41:41,693 --> 01:41:43,773 Speaker 21: of the season. If you've still got a chance, but 1946 01:41:43,973 --> 01:41:45,373 Speaker 21: if there's going to be a top six, check I 1947 01:41:45,453 --> 01:41:47,493 Speaker 21: much prefer the one and two, get the buy three, 1948 01:41:47,493 --> 01:41:51,053 Speaker 21: place six, four, place five, and then for sure, that's easy. 1949 01:41:51,053 --> 01:41:52,973 Speaker 21: I just explained that to you in six seconds. The 1950 01:41:53,053 --> 01:41:56,333 Speaker 21: lucky loser is hard to explain because that loser loses 1951 01:41:56,373 --> 01:41:58,213 Speaker 21: a seeding place in the semi finals. 1952 01:41:58,293 --> 01:42:00,853 Speaker 2: People are already going, what what do you mean? 1953 01:42:01,573 --> 01:42:04,413 Speaker 21: You know it's there, like, if you finish top you're 1954 01:42:04,453 --> 01:42:06,773 Speaker 21: guaranteed a semi final, even if he gets in the 1955 01:42:06,813 --> 01:42:09,253 Speaker 21: first wee yes, So that makes sense. 1956 01:42:09,253 --> 01:42:10,213 Speaker 2: It rewards you, It. 1957 01:42:10,213 --> 01:42:12,653 Speaker 21: Rewards you for finishing top. But yeah, anyway, there's a 1958 01:42:12,693 --> 01:42:15,733 Speaker 21: bit to unpack there and this whole Yipka clim Kova 1959 01:42:15,853 --> 01:42:19,933 Speaker 21: thing from yesterday Cone of Silence from New Zealand Football yesterday.

You know, he walks around unrecognized, and he 2010 01:44:48,093 --> 01:44:50,253 Speaker 19: rarely seems to realize that he's out of his depth 2011 01:44:50,293 --> 01:44:53,133 Speaker 19: his role of Prime Minister, and his wife Margo seems 2012 01:44:53,133 --> 01:44:55,453 Speaker 19: to be the really strong, ambitious one in the relationship, 2013 01:44:55,493 --> 01:44:58,493 Speaker 19: and you know he comes to this role is through 2014 01:44:58,493 --> 01:44:59,133 Speaker 19: her networking. 2015 01:44:59,253 --> 01:45:02,573 Speaker 11: And Vanessia herself is very interesting.

So money and government and wealth 2032 01:45:42,213 --> 01:45:45,013 Speaker 19: and power and media and image. You know, the fortunes 2033 01:45:45,013 --> 01:45:47,773 Speaker 19: of the richest people in the world. And with wealth, 2034 01:45:47,773 --> 01:45:51,253 Speaker 19: of course comes great power. And often in our society, 2035 01:45:51,293 --> 01:45:53,893 Speaker 19: billionaires have found their way around, you know, years of 2036 01:45:54,213 --> 01:45:57,093 Speaker 19: systems of democratic oversight. Really they dodged tax has been 2037 01:45:57,173 --> 01:45:59,013 Speaker 19: politics and create monopolies. 2038 01:45:59,053 --> 01:46:01,333 Speaker 11: And yeah, it's fascinating. 2039 01:46:01,373 --> 01:46:05,493 Speaker 19: So she starts with him in nineteen seventy five as 2040 01:46:05,573 --> 01:46:10,133 Speaker 19: a young man with his school friend Paul Allen writing 2041 01:46:10,173 --> 01:46:12,173 Speaker 19: the first loads of code for the company we all 2042 01:46:12,213 --> 01:46:16,093 Speaker 19: know now as Microsoft, and that blooms and talks about 2043 01:46:16,133 --> 01:46:19,373 Speaker 19: Gates as America's youngest billionaire at thirty one, focused probably 2044 01:46:19,373 --> 01:46:21,173 Speaker 19: a little bit too much on how nerdy he is. 2045 01:46:21,733 --> 01:46:22,653 Speaker 11: But then as. 2046 01:46:22,813 --> 01:46:27,253 Speaker 19: Microsoft competition starts to grow and he excludes products from 2047 01:46:27,373 --> 01:46:31,093 Speaker 19: software platforms. And then there's the anti trust legislation in 2048 01:46:31,133 --> 01:46:33,773 Speaker 19: the States in the nineties that's used against Microsoft, so 2049 01:46:33,813 --> 01:46:36,733 Speaker 19: he starts to move away from the country a company sorry, 2050 01:46:37,173 --> 01:46:40,293 Speaker 19: and then him and his wife Melinda decide to launch 2051 01:46:40,333 --> 01:46:44,933 Speaker 19: the Gates Foundation, and they apply a lot of data 2052 01:46:44,973 --> 01:46:47,693 Speaker 19: and results same practices which he excelled at in Microsoft. 2053 01:46:47,773 --> 01:46:50,653 Speaker 19: And it's quite interesting as he pledges other billionaires to 2054 01:46:50,653 --> 01:46:55,413 Speaker 19: PLEDs money and this light massive, fullan troffic enterprise and 2055 01:46:55,453 --> 01:46:58,093 Speaker 19: they have prevented millions of deaths, you know, billions of 2056 01:46:58,093 --> 01:47:01,773 Speaker 19: dollars into fighting AIDS and tuberculosis and their vaccine alliance 2057 01:47:01,773 --> 01:47:04,413 Speaker 19: which has vaccinated almost half of the world's children. 2058 01:47:04,853 --> 01:47:07,013 Speaker 11: But it also talks about as other taxx like. 2059 01:47:06,973 --> 01:47:10,093 Speaker 19: Jeffrey Epstein when in twenty nineteen he admitted that he 2060 01:47:10,133 --> 01:47:13,253 Speaker 19: had met him on several occasions, and he said that 2061 01:47:13,293 --> 01:47:15,453 Speaker 19: he was introduced to them by the aim of raising 2062 01:47:15,493 --> 01:47:17,213 Speaker 19: funds for his foundation. 2063 01:47:17,413 --> 01:47:18,973 Speaker 11: So it varies, you. 2064 01:47:18,933 --> 01:47:20,933 Speaker 19: Know, but it also talks about his other contemporaries like 2065 01:47:21,693 --> 01:47:24,733 Speaker 19: Warren Buffet and the public perception of billionaires. But it 2066 01:47:24,813 --> 01:47:28,733 Speaker 19: varies away from being a typical biography and interviews people 2067 01:47:28,813 --> 01:47:31,093 Speaker 19: very much on the fringes of gates life and so 2068 01:47:31,133 --> 01:47:33,333 Speaker 19: he gets a very different viewpoint of him. And yeah, 2069 01:47:33,613 --> 01:47:35,813 Speaker 19: I doesn't read as a typical biography, and it jumps 2070 01:47:35,813 --> 01:47:37,533 Speaker 19: around and talks about him and his wife as ex 2071 01:47:37,533 --> 01:47:40,293 Speaker 19: wife now and early life and contemporary so it's quite 2072 01:47:40,293 --> 01:47:43,013 Speaker 19: an interesting viewpoint and to the world of a billionaire. 2073 01:47:43,213 --> 01:47:46,053 Speaker 2: Ah, sounds so good.

But I like it 2096 01:49:09,533 --> 01:49:12,373 Speaker 15: because they're sort of going into a place where, you know, 2097 01:49:12,493 --> 01:49:14,333 Speaker 15: sometimes you go to a darkness and you're like all 2098 01:49:14,373 --> 01:49:16,853 Speaker 15: trying to get back on the right page.
