1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tamee podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,733 Speaker 1: from News Talks at b. 3 00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:18,693 Speaker 2: Ah wild parties, cocaine fueled late night debauchery, Guilty as Charged. 4 00:00:18,853 --> 00:00:23,213 Speaker 2: That does sound like a bit of me, but no, no, 5 00:00:24,173 --> 00:00:28,573 Speaker 2: My idea of fun is a map. I've got a huge, 6 00:00:28,933 --> 00:00:34,413 Speaker 2: detailed map on my wall, a winkled triple projection Pacific scentered. 7 00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:38,973 Speaker 2: Of course, I can while away ours whole afternoons intercontinental 8 00:00:39,053 --> 00:00:44,093 Speaker 2: flights just staring at a map. And when you steer 9 00:00:44,173 --> 00:00:48,053 Speaker 2: at a detailed map, you're drawn to curiosities, to extremes, 10 00:00:48,693 --> 00:00:52,573 Speaker 2: and naturally, of course, you're drawn into imagining or fantasizing 11 00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:56,213 Speaker 2: what those places might be like in person, rather than 12 00:00:56,533 --> 00:01:01,453 Speaker 2: simply as a coordinate on your wall. There are three remote, 13 00:01:01,693 --> 00:01:05,933 Speaker 2: extreme curious places on Earth that I've always fantasized about seeing. 14 00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:11,053 Speaker 2: One is Ladenconnada, which is the highest permanently populated town 15 00:01:11,093 --> 00:01:13,853 Speaker 2: in the world that's in the Peruvian Andes, a grim, 16 00:01:14,133 --> 00:01:17,933 Speaker 2: freezing mining town with a violent crime problem and where 17 00:01:17,933 --> 00:01:20,613 Speaker 2: a slab of the residents may or may not have 18 00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:24,253 Speaker 2: mercury poisoning. It's higher than Everest Base Camp, and if 19 00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:28,413 Speaker 2: you watch on YouTube, it's about as far from a 20 00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:31,573 Speaker 2: few nights as denaro As, it's possible. 21 00:01:31,173 --> 00:01:31,453 Speaker 3: To be. 22 00:01:33,173 --> 00:01:37,853 Speaker 2: The next of the Kergzil Islands aka the Desolation Islands, 23 00:01:38,173 --> 00:01:42,813 Speaker 2: a vast seven thousand square kilometer archipelago and the sub Antarctic. 24 00:01:43,373 --> 00:01:46,973 Speaker 2: It's home to amazing wildlife and a few dozen French scientists. 25 00:01:47,013 --> 00:01:51,533 Speaker 2: And it is huge. It's vast. The main island of 26 00:01:51,573 --> 00:01:54,653 Speaker 2: the Kurgulan Islands is one hundred and fifty kilometers long 27 00:01:54,693 --> 00:01:57,253 Speaker 2: and one hundred and twenty kilometers wide. Have you ever 28 00:01:57,293 --> 00:02:00,013 Speaker 2: heard of it? It's one of the most remote places 29 00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:06,333 Speaker 2: on Earth. And my final isle of intrigue is Diego Garcia. 30 00:02:07,453 --> 00:02:11,813 Speaker 2: My dad first told me about d G. Diego Garcia 31 00:02:11,853 --> 00:02:14,853 Speaker 2: when I was a kid. So imagine a point, a 32 00:02:14,893 --> 00:02:18,133 Speaker 2: little atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean below 33 00:02:18,213 --> 00:02:25,453 Speaker 2: India and about halfway between Tanzania and Bali. For decades, 34 00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:28,053 Speaker 2: Diego Garcia has been home to one of the most 35 00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:33,413 Speaker 2: mysterious and secretive military bases on the planet. Its strategic location, 36 00:02:33,773 --> 00:02:37,493 Speaker 2: its military runway, its fleet of long range bombers, and 37 00:02:37,573 --> 00:02:42,013 Speaker 2: its ability to reload submarines with weapons make it hugely 38 00:02:42,053 --> 00:02:45,693 Speaker 2: important to the US and the UK. But of course 39 00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:50,133 Speaker 2: that base only came about via a brutal history. Although 40 00:02:50,133 --> 00:02:55,053 Speaker 2: Diego Garcia had no indigenous population, enslaved people were brought 41 00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:58,613 Speaker 2: there to work on the atoll on coconut plantations, and 42 00:02:58,693 --> 00:03:02,733 Speaker 2: over several centuries developed their own language and culture. In 43 00:03:02,773 --> 00:03:06,013 Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties, the Brits decided to kick them out 44 00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:09,813 Speaker 2: in order to develop the military base. They forcibly evicted 45 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:12,893 Speaker 2: all of the local population to Mauritius and the Seychelles. 46 00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:17,133 Speaker 2: For decades since, Mauritius has fought for the island and 47 00:03:17,173 --> 00:03:21,493 Speaker 2: its surrounding islands, the surrounding archipelago. Chagosians, as people from 48 00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:24,053 Speaker 2: the Chagos Islands are known, have fought to return to 49 00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:27,733 Speaker 2: their home, but I've always assumed that I would never 50 00:03:27,773 --> 00:03:30,493 Speaker 2: be able to go. The island is rumored to be 51 00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:34,373 Speaker 2: a CIA black site, and according to a recent BBC report, 52 00:03:34,893 --> 00:03:39,533 Speaker 2: only three journalists have ever visited. One pretended to have 53 00:03:39,573 --> 00:03:41,653 Speaker 2: a boat problem and was only there for an hour 54 00:03:41,653 --> 00:03:45,933 Speaker 2: and a half, another stopped to refuel while traveling in 55 00:03:45,973 --> 00:03:49,733 Speaker 2: a presidential plane, and the most recent visitor had to 56 00:03:49,773 --> 00:03:53,213 Speaker 2: agree to incredible restrictions on her reporting and was barred 57 00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:57,533 Speaker 2: from numerous areas and accompanied by minders at all times. 58 00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:03,493 Speaker 2: But yesterday came news from Diego Garcia. After years of 59 00:04:03,613 --> 00:04:07,653 Speaker 2: terse negotiations and an ongoing legal dis regarding a group 60 00:04:07,693 --> 00:04:11,053 Speaker 2: of Tamil asylum seekers being detained on the island, the 61 00:04:11,173 --> 00:04:14,933 Speaker 2: UK and Mauritius announced that sovereignty of Diego Garcia and 62 00:04:14,973 --> 00:04:18,333 Speaker 2: the other Chagos Islands is going to be passed to Mauritius. 63 00:04:19,373 --> 00:04:23,013 Speaker 2: So will it mean the Chagossians, as people from the 64 00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:25,933 Speaker 2: Chagos Islands are known, will it mean they can return home? 65 00:04:26,813 --> 00:04:31,813 Speaker 2: Probably not. Under the deal, the long range bombers, the submarines, 66 00:04:32,133 --> 00:04:35,333 Speaker 2: the base will remain for at least the next century. 67 00:04:36,053 --> 00:04:38,813 Speaker 2: Its official status might have changed, but for those of 68 00:04:38,893 --> 00:04:42,893 Speaker 2: us who trace the atoll across the world on our 69 00:04:42,973 --> 00:04:48,133 Speaker 2: office wall, Diego Garcia will be no more accessible and 70 00:04:48,293 --> 00:04:52,893 Speaker 2: no less mysterious. Team ninety two ninety two. If you've 71 00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:57,133 Speaker 2: been to Diego Garcia, please let us know.

How about that top of the text, Jack, 90 00:05:51,053 --> 00:05:53,293 Speaker 2: I've been to Diego Garcia, allbit in the middle of 91 00:05:53,333 --> 00:05:57,093 Speaker 2: the night on a refueling stop, so pretty much in 92 00:05:57,133 --> 00:05:59,453 Speaker 2: my view, it was a typical US military base in 93 00:05:59,453 --> 00:06:03,013 Speaker 2: the middle of what seemed like a US town. Yeah, 94 00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:07,853 Speaker 2: I mean, I still want to know more, and I'm 95 00:06:07,893 --> 00:06:09,973 Speaker 2: sure you haven't been lucky enough to see all parts 96 00:06:10,013 --> 00:06:12,733 Speaker 2: of Diego Garcia. I think it's like the if you 97 00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:15,893 Speaker 2: to drive around the whole atoll. It's about forty killing meters. 98 00:06:15,893 --> 00:06:18,653 Speaker 2: They reckon that it has some of the cleanest waters 99 00:06:18,693 --> 00:06:22,213 Speaker 2: and some of the coral reefs that are in best 100 00:06:22,253 --> 00:06:24,933 Speaker 2: condition on the planet in Diego Garcia. So still that 101 00:06:25,013 --> 00:06:27,693 Speaker 2: is that is remarkable. So thank you very much for that, Jack. 102 00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:30,573 Speaker 2: Maps are dying out that being said, I love like 103 00:06:30,693 --> 00:06:34,573 Speaker 2: you browsing New Zealand maps. Yeah, I mean, I'm not 104 00:06:34,613 --> 00:06:36,533 Speaker 2: totally sure they're doing out there. Some some maps are 105 00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:39,493 Speaker 2: probably dying out right. Rod says he wants he's a 106 00:06:39,533 --> 00:06:42,293 Speaker 2: similar wanderlust. He wants to sit on a rock paddling 107 00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:44,813 Speaker 2: his feet in Tierra del Fuego, the n spot of 108 00:06:44,813 --> 00:06:47,293 Speaker 2: South America.

I just you've got 113 00:06:58,053 --> 00:06:59,693 Speaker 5: to do a documentary. 114 00:06:59,093 --> 00:07:00,973 Speaker 2: Do you know what? I just I can't. I don't 115 00:07:00,973 --> 00:07:03,893 Speaker 2: think it's a case of just simply like emailing the 116 00:07:04,493 --> 00:07:07,293 Speaker 2: UK Foreign Office or indeed Marie just and saying hey, 117 00:07:07,533 --> 00:07:09,333 Speaker 2: I'm Jack, I'm from New Zealand. I want to come 118 00:07:09,373 --> 00:07:13,693 Speaker 2: to Diego Garcia. I don't think that's necessarily gonna You've. 119 00:07:13,573 --> 00:07:17,453 Speaker 5: Got You've got some remarkable contacts around the place. 120 00:07:17,733 --> 00:07:20,413 Speaker 2: Not that remarkable, do you know, Kevin, I did. I 121 00:07:20,453 --> 00:07:22,933 Speaker 2: did once I was I was fortunate enough, if that's 122 00:07:22,973 --> 00:07:27,093 Speaker 2: the right term. I did go to Guantanamo Bay with 123 00:07:27,533 --> 00:07:29,453 Speaker 2: the military base at the end of Cuba, right, and 124 00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:31,293 Speaker 2: so I need to Cuba as a tourist. But to 125 00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:33,693 Speaker 2: go to the to go to Guantanamo Bay requires a 126 00:07:33,693 --> 00:07:36,253 Speaker 2: lot of paperwork and negotiations and that kind of thing. 127 00:07:36,493 --> 00:07:40,213 Speaker 2: That was complicated enough. But there are gazillions of journalists 128 00:07:40,213 --> 00:07:43,213 Speaker 2: who have been able to go to Guantanamo Bay, and yeah, 129 00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:45,853 Speaker 2: only three apparently have made it to Diego Garcia over 130 00:07:45,853 --> 00:07:46,133 Speaker 2: the year. 131 00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:50,253 Speaker 5: You've got that little that little sort of four runner 132 00:07:50,293 --> 00:07:53,333 Speaker 5: that you gave us before, was the script for you 133 00:07:53,493 --> 00:07:57,493 Speaker 5: for the first minute of your documentary. 134 00:07:58,093 --> 00:08:00,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe. What what I will do, as 135 00:08:00,853 --> 00:08:03,693 Speaker 2: I will there is this this BBC reporter who has 136 00:08:03,773 --> 00:08:07,133 Speaker 2: been there recently, and we had all these restrictions on 137 00:08:07,133 --> 00:08:08,933 Speaker 2: your reporting and what you could see and do and stuff. 138 00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:10,213 Speaker 2: So what I'll do is I'm going to put that 139 00:08:10,253 --> 00:08:11,933 Speaker 2: on our Facebook page so people can see it. Because 140 00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:14,213 Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm not the only one who you know, 141 00:08:14,293 --> 00:08:18,013 Speaker 2: sometimes fantasizes about reaching these remote parts of the earth. 142 00:08:18,333 --> 00:08:21,173 Speaker 2: But Kevin, you've been turning your attention to something else 143 00:08:21,213 --> 00:08:23,093 Speaker 2: this week. You've been running your eye over the latest 144 00:08:23,093 --> 00:08:24,053 Speaker 2: census results. 145 00:08:24,733 --> 00:08:29,693 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's almost interesting the census. I imagine that 146 00:08:29,773 --> 00:08:33,493 Speaker 5: you yourself would be a keen reader of census results. 147 00:08:33,533 --> 00:08:37,333 Speaker 2: Ah, a bit like that. Absolutely love it, love love 148 00:08:37,373 --> 00:08:40,813 Speaker 2: a data dump from Statistics New Zealand. Nothing, you're excited. 149 00:08:41,613 --> 00:08:46,493 Speaker 5: I wasn't surprised that Wellington's cities has the largest proportion 150 00:08:46,653 --> 00:08:49,653 Speaker 5: of the rainbow community than anywhere else. Wellington's just that 151 00:08:49,733 --> 00:08:51,933 Speaker 5: sort of place, isn't it. I'd say it's the most 152 00:08:52,013 --> 00:08:54,573 Speaker 5: liberal city in the country and the most creative. 153 00:08:54,853 --> 00:08:55,933 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think so too. 154 00:08:56,693 --> 00:08:59,413 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was surprised to find Auckland City so far 155 00:08:59,493 --> 00:09:03,533 Speaker 5: down on that list. There's a higher proportion of rainbow 156 00:09:03,613 --> 00:09:09,133 Speaker 5: community in South Waira Wrapper than in Auckland. I respect 157 00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:12,973 Speaker 5: that's because Auckland now has a huge non European New 158 00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:18,253 Speaker 5: Zealand community, and the rainbow community remains, I think more 159 00:09:18,333 --> 00:09:24,013 Speaker 5: hidden in those non European communities. Only half the people 160 00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:27,613 Speaker 5: living in Auckland our biggest city now identify as New 161 00:09:27,653 --> 00:09:32,453 Speaker 5: Zealand European. I find that a fantastic statistic. Really more 162 00:09:32,493 --> 00:09:36,253 Speaker 5: Indians than Chinese now in New Zealand. It's going to 163 00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:40,853 Speaker 5: help our cricket sides. The Filipino population has gone up 164 00:09:40,893 --> 00:09:44,813 Speaker 5: thirty five thousand for our senses, hopefully that means more 165 00:09:45,053 --> 00:09:50,733 Speaker 5: wonderful nurses in our hospitals and our care facilities. Gisbon 166 00:09:51,693 --> 00:09:55,373 Speaker 5: now got more people identifying as Maori than New Zealand 167 00:09:55,533 --> 00:10:01,293 Speaker 5: European fifty fifty two percent European. I found that interesting. 168 00:10:02,373 --> 00:10:04,653 Speaker 5: And I see there are more Greeks and Wellington than 169 00:10:04,693 --> 00:10:07,453 Speaker 5: anywhere else in the country. That may have always been 170 00:10:07,533 --> 00:10:09,853 Speaker 5: the case, which makes you wonder why it's so hard 171 00:10:09,853 --> 00:10:14,293 Speaker 5: to find a Greek restaurant. And well, two thirds of 172 00:10:14,293 --> 00:10:17,333 Speaker 5: all New Zealand homes now have heat pumps. We should 173 00:10:17,373 --> 00:10:20,373 Speaker 5: have got out of the media jack and into heat pumps. 174 00:10:21,093 --> 00:10:24,813 Speaker 5: That was the business get into. Yeah, I see in 175 00:10:24,893 --> 00:10:29,413 Speaker 5: Auckland heat pumps have finally caught on, from thirty nine 176 00:10:29,453 --> 00:10:33,093 Speaker 5: percent of all homes in twenty and eighteen to sixty 177 00:10:33,213 --> 00:10:37,173 Speaker 5: six percent now. Now is that because your old fashioned 178 00:10:37,213 --> 00:10:40,613 Speaker 5: open fires have been banned or because the weather's getting worse. 179 00:10:42,293 --> 00:10:46,573 Speaker 5: I don't know over half of New Zealand's population has 180 00:10:46,613 --> 00:10:52,933 Speaker 5: no religion. Given our populations recently seen large influxes of 181 00:10:53,173 --> 00:10:57,933 Speaker 5: non European New Zealanders very committed to religion, I think 182 00:10:57,933 --> 00:11:01,253 Speaker 5: it'd be interesting to know how many European New Zealanders 183 00:11:02,373 --> 00:11:06,693 Speaker 5: European New Zealanders have no religion. I reckon itly far 184 00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:13,933 Speaker 5: more than half. Finally, cigarettes makings half since two thy thirteen. 185 00:11:14,733 --> 00:11:20,213 Speaker 5: Lobbyists and health professionals take about time now, surely got 186 00:11:20,213 --> 00:11:23,693 Speaker 5: the squeeze on alcohol? You'll agree with that. 187 00:11:23,053 --> 00:11:26,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've long seen I think our attitudes 188 00:11:26,493 --> 00:11:28,413 Speaker 2: towards alcohol could still do with some improvement. 189 00:11:28,693 --> 00:11:28,893 Speaker 5: Yeah. 190 00:11:29,053 --> 00:11:32,173 Speaker 2: The fascinating numbers, Ah, Kevin, there's one little data point 191 00:11:32,173 --> 00:11:35,413 Speaker 2: you haven't included there I was interested by. There are 192 00:11:35,453 --> 00:11:38,773 Speaker 2: still thirty one percent of New Zealand homes have a 193 00:11:38,893 --> 00:11:42,933 Speaker 2: land line. Yes, yeah, although on the Chathams it's more 194 00:11:42,973 --> 00:11:45,173 Speaker 2: than seventy percent, because which kind of makes sense. I 195 00:11:45,253 --> 00:11:46,933 Speaker 2: can imagine there are a few dead spots of cell 196 00:11:46,973 --> 00:11:47,813 Speaker 2: phones on the tatams. 197 00:11:48,573 --> 00:11:50,973 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, there'll all be people my age, aren't they 198 00:11:50,973 --> 00:11:53,013 Speaker 5: with the old still with the landline? 199 00:11:53,133 --> 00:11:55,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but yeah. 200 00:11:55,853 --> 00:11:57,933 Speaker 5: Every now and again. I wish we still had one, 201 00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:01,573 Speaker 5: to be honest, do you Oh yeah, yeah, they're a 202 00:12:01,653 --> 00:12:04,493 Speaker 5: lovely item. Really, I've still got a mc garage and 203 00:12:04,533 --> 00:12:07,213 Speaker 5: I sold what do they call them? Rotary? 204 00:12:07,613 --> 00:12:10,173 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. 205 00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:12,533 Speaker 5: And kids don't even know where to put the receiver 206 00:12:12,693 --> 00:12:13,853 Speaker 5: down on them anymore. 207 00:12:14,173 --> 00:12:16,133 Speaker 2: To be honest, I'm not that confident that I could 208 00:12:16,173 --> 00:12:21,653 Speaker 2: use one. A bit of a change. Yeah, No, those 209 00:12:21,693 --> 00:12:24,973 Speaker 2: are remarkable numbers, and I love that the census has, 210 00:12:25,373 --> 00:12:27,533 Speaker 2: you know, information on all those little points, because it 211 00:12:27,573 --> 00:12:30,053 Speaker 2: really does describe a change in New Zealand. Was also 212 00:12:30,133 --> 00:12:33,213 Speaker 2: interested that there are I think almost twice as many 213 00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:36,533 Speaker 2: people who identify as Hindu as do Muslim in New Zealand, 214 00:12:36,613 --> 00:12:39,293 Speaker 2: which also tells you about something about the demographics, which yeah, 215 00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:43,893 Speaker 2: even though we are less religious than ever before. Yeah, 216 00:12:43,893 --> 00:12:45,853 Speaker 2: that was That was an interesting little point. Like you say, 217 00:12:45,853 --> 00:12:48,613 Speaker 2: it probably paints a picture of a more diverse New Zealand. 218 00:12:48,693 --> 00:12:51,053 Speaker 2: So thank you, Kevin. Kevin Milner with us there. Thank 219 00:12:51,093 --> 00:12:53,853 Speaker 2: you very much for your feedback. Jack. I remember a 220 00:12:53,933 --> 00:12:57,533 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety TV report on Diego Garcia. The TV crew 221 00:12:57,573 --> 00:12:59,973 Speaker 2: has led to a row of B fifty two bombers 222 00:13:00,373 --> 00:13:04,333 Speaker 2: on the runway, then dead pan. The American Military Guide said, 223 00:13:04,653 --> 00:13:07,493 Speaker 2: if the engines ever start up, the world is in 224 00:13:07,613 --> 00:13:11,893 Speaker 2: serious trouble. Dave has flipped me an email Jack. I'm 225 00:13:11,893 --> 00:13:14,693 Speaker 2: listening from Queensland on iHeart this morning. Good hey, Dave, 226 00:13:14,773 --> 00:13:18,653 Speaker 2: thank you for that re Diego Garcia. I'm ex Royal 227 00:13:18,653 --> 00:13:21,293 Speaker 2: News Yeald Navy. I've stopped there twice in my career 228 00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:24,213 Speaker 2: for refueling stops. Can't remember much about it. Both times 229 00:13:24,253 --> 00:13:27,013 Speaker 2: I was standing see emergency party, so we weren't allowed 230 00:13:27,053 --> 00:13:29,493 Speaker 2: ashore unless we've got to stand in. But guys would 231 00:13:29,533 --> 00:13:33,373 Speaker 2: do pt presume that means a physical training and go 232 00:13:33,453 --> 00:13:36,493 Speaker 2: to the US Military shop, says Dave. This is it. 233 00:13:36,613 --> 00:13:39,093 Speaker 2: This we found a solution. My solution is not to 234 00:13:39,613 --> 00:13:41,173 Speaker 2: not to go as a journalist, not to go as 235 00:13:41,173 --> 00:13:44,013 Speaker 2: a tourist. My solution is to join the Royal News 236 00:13:44,053 --> 00:13:45,933 Speaker 2: Young Navy and hope that at some point we go 237 00:13:46,133 --> 00:13:48,733 Speaker 2: on a refueling stop.

He's actually a decent bloke. 258 00:14:41,933 --> 00:14:46,053 Speaker 6: He's a real competitor, just one of those ossie battlers 259 00:14:46,053 --> 00:14:49,093 Speaker 6: who loves getting into a brawl, if I can use 260 00:14:49,093 --> 00:14:52,973 Speaker 6: that term, and loves winning and loves winding people up 261 00:14:53,013 --> 00:14:54,973 Speaker 6: at the same time. I always found it to be 262 00:14:55,173 --> 00:14:59,093 Speaker 6: a treat to interview over the years in the America's Cup, 263 00:14:59,253 --> 00:15:01,213 Speaker 6: so it will be a sad loss to the Cup. 264 00:15:01,253 --> 00:15:03,253 Speaker 6: I'd love to see him in the future if the 265 00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:05,093 Speaker 6: Aussies can come up to money, and let's face it, 266 00:15:05,133 --> 00:15:07,373 Speaker 6: it's huge money these days, come up with an Aussie 267 00:15:07,453 --> 00:15:11,653 Speaker 6: campaign to challenge for the Cup. Whoever may hold at necktime. 268 00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:18,133 Speaker 6: But Jimmy Spittle always adding some color to America's Cup history, 269 00:15:18,173 --> 00:15:22,333 Speaker 6: which is of course lizard with very colorful characters. So yeah, 270 00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:23,293 Speaker 6: shame to see him go. 271 00:15:23,533 --> 00:15:25,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is. He's one of those guys who, 272 00:15:25,613 --> 00:15:27,333 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, we love to hate him, blah blah blah. 273 00:15:27,373 --> 00:15:29,173 Speaker 2: I mean I actually didn't hate him. I just thought 274 00:15:29,173 --> 00:15:32,013 Speaker 2: he was one of those guys who he knows that 275 00:15:32,053 --> 00:15:35,533 Speaker 2: it's that sport is entertainment, right, and it just leans 276 00:15:35,573 --> 00:15:37,533 Speaker 2: into it and leans into the winding and stuff. He's 277 00:15:37,533 --> 00:15:41,413 Speaker 2: a Gregan esque figure, yes, and yeah, I love that. 278 00:15:41,533 --> 00:15:42,613 Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's. 279 00:15:42,813 --> 00:15:45,413 Speaker 6: And who will ever forget that time in twenty thirteen 280 00:15:45,413 --> 00:15:47,573 Speaker 6: in San Francisco when he was batting for Oracle that 281 00:15:48,373 --> 00:15:50,813 Speaker 6: he came back from that eight to one deficit against 282 00:15:50,813 --> 00:15:51,253 Speaker 6: Team and. 283 00:15:51,333 --> 00:15:53,653 Speaker 2: Z No, it's forgetting it. No, it's forgetting it. No 284 00:15:53,693 --> 00:15:55,733 Speaker 2: one needed the reminder this morning either. 285 00:15:55,493 --> 00:16:00,853 Speaker 6: Said one of sports most remarkable, global sports, most remarkable 286 00:16:01,573 --> 00:16:04,413 Speaker 6: comebacks of all types. So so spittle and lunar ross 287 00:16:04,413 --> 00:16:08,013 Speaker 6: are gone. They have been feed in the Louis Vuitton 288 00:16:08,173 --> 00:16:11,893 Speaker 6: Cup final by Ineos britann So that means the British 289 00:16:12,573 --> 00:16:17,173 Speaker 6: or Ineos Britannia will be racing Team New Zealand for 290 00:16:17,253 --> 00:16:20,093 Speaker 6: the America's Cup. I think it starts late on the 291 00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:24,773 Speaker 6: twelfth our time. Isn't it amazing? Sixty years since the 292 00:16:24,813 --> 00:16:29,253 Speaker 6: Brits have officially challenged in the America's Cup race or 293 00:16:29,333 --> 00:16:34,173 Speaker 6: match rather final for the Cup. And let's not they 294 00:16:34,213 --> 00:16:36,493 Speaker 6: first started it. Let's not forget whether they first started 295 00:16:36,493 --> 00:16:40,213 Speaker 6: it one hundred and fifty odd years ago. So great 296 00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:43,213 Speaker 6: thrill for Sir Ben Ainsley, who has been at it 297 00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:45,573 Speaker 6: for ten to fifteen years with not much luck. 298 00:16:45,653 --> 00:16:47,733 Speaker 2: Well yeah, they were pretty woful and all. 299 00:16:48,373 --> 00:16:51,253 Speaker 6: Yeah the last he's a sale who's won everything in 300 00:16:51,293 --> 00:16:54,253 Speaker 6: the Olympics and a lot of other regattas around the world. 301 00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:56,573 Speaker 6: So it should be a good competition, jack in. 302 00:16:56,533 --> 00:16:59,613 Speaker 2: The faint, yeah should. The Women's Tea twenty Cricket World 303 00:16:59,653 --> 00:17:03,653 Speaker 2: Cup has underwent a very good result for outing. 304 00:17:04,093 --> 00:17:06,773 Speaker 6: Good outing for a team that has struggled so much 305 00:17:06,813 --> 00:17:09,693 Speaker 6: for the past twelve months, especially in the T twenty 306 00:17:09,693 --> 00:17:13,013 Speaker 6: for mat the White Ferns made one sixty against India. 307 00:17:13,493 --> 00:17:15,653 Speaker 6: India one oz too all out, so fifty odd run 308 00:17:15,653 --> 00:17:17,693 Speaker 6: when there. For the White Ferns got some tougher games 309 00:17:17,693 --> 00:17:20,973 Speaker 6: to come. But that's a good start to a competition 310 00:17:21,053 --> 00:17:23,813 Speaker 6: that can sometimes be rather hit and myth and and 311 00:17:23,973 --> 00:17:28,413 Speaker 6: for a team that has just lost so many games 312 00:17:28,453 --> 00:17:31,773 Speaker 6: this year, so that'll that will boost their confidence and 313 00:17:31,813 --> 00:17:33,413 Speaker 6: boost their morale. Jack, that's for sure. 314 00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:34,893 Speaker 2: What's wrong with the Silver Fans? 315 00:17:36,493 --> 00:17:37,093 Speaker 5: Good question. 316 00:17:37,733 --> 00:17:42,933 Speaker 6: Some really odd changes in that second game on the 317 00:17:42,973 --> 00:17:48,853 Speaker 6: court has has Dame Noling Toto's bubble burst. I don't 318 00:17:48,973 --> 00:17:53,213 Speaker 6: know if it has just yet, but you'd normally backed 319 00:17:53,213 --> 00:17:55,173 Speaker 6: the Ferns to bed England. They lost that first game 320 00:17:55,173 --> 00:17:59,773 Speaker 6: by one goal, so that could have gone either way, 321 00:17:59,893 --> 00:18:01,933 Speaker 6: but just some odd calls in the second game. They 322 00:18:01,973 --> 00:18:05,253 Speaker 6: played the third game tomorrow and Evercargo a dead rubber 323 00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:07,613 Speaker 6: as such in the series, but the Ferns will be 324 00:18:07,613 --> 00:18:12,093 Speaker 6: desperate to win that. Just yeah, there just seems to be. 325 00:18:14,533 --> 00:18:14,853 Speaker 7: Losing. 326 00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:19,053 Speaker 6: The Black Ferns lost against Ireland the other day. The Silver. 327 00:18:19,133 --> 00:18:22,253 Speaker 6: Ferns are struggling a bit football Ferns and they are 328 00:18:22,333 --> 00:18:27,693 Speaker 6: very very public issues with their with their coach. Not 329 00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:29,973 Speaker 6: a great time to be in a Ferns team, Jack, 330 00:18:30,053 --> 00:18:31,773 Speaker 6: Let's have some of these teams can turn it around. 331 00:18:32,013 --> 00:18:33,253 Speaker 2: Cam Roy Guard is back. 332 00:18:34,533 --> 00:18:35,813 Speaker 6: I just hope looking forward to this. 333 00:18:35,893 --> 00:18:38,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to all good. 334 00:18:39,133 --> 00:18:39,333 Speaker 5: Yeah. 335 00:18:39,373 --> 00:18:42,133 Speaker 6: Fingers crossed that he that he comes through unscathed. He's 336 00:18:42,133 --> 00:18:44,893 Speaker 6: off the beach today for County's Monaco. He would be 337 00:18:45,013 --> 00:18:47,333 Speaker 6: the All Blacks number one half. I think it would 338 00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:50,053 Speaker 6: have been this year if he was fit. Definitely, if 339 00:18:50,093 --> 00:18:51,933 Speaker 6: he comes through today, go on the Northern. 340 00:18:51,733 --> 00:18:53,533 Speaker 5: Tour in a few weeks, will be named in the 341 00:18:53,573 --> 00:18:54,533 Speaker 5: All Black squad. 342 00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:57,373 Speaker 6: On Monday for that Northern to A very good player, 343 00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:02,093 Speaker 6: very good running with the ball, takes good options. He 344 00:19:02,733 --> 00:19:04,613 Speaker 6: had been around the scene for a few years. Jack 345 00:19:04,653 --> 00:19:07,413 Speaker 6: didn't have that fantastic Super rugby campaigned last year for 346 00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,573 Speaker 6: the Hurricanes, made it into the All Black World Cup, 347 00:19:10,093 --> 00:19:13,053 Speaker 6: made every post to winner in Test football. So really 348 00:19:13,133 --> 00:19:15,613 Speaker 6: looking forward to seeing him come back this afternoon. Hopefully 349 00:19:16,013 --> 00:19:18,613 Speaker 6: for his sake, his knee holds together and he can 350 00:19:19,813 --> 00:19:21,893 Speaker 6: have a long run, gone good strong run on the 351 00:19:21,933 --> 00:19:22,453 Speaker 6: All Black Team. 352 00:19:22,533 --> 00:19:26,093 Speaker 2: Yeah too, right, thanks V. That's our Sporto Andrews seven Jack. 353 00:19:26,693 --> 00:19:29,693 Speaker 2: I also called into Diego Garcia in the early eighties 354 00:19:29,773 --> 00:19:31,773 Speaker 2: when I was in the New Zealand Navy. I was 355 00:19:31,813 --> 00:19:33,253 Speaker 2: one of the lucky ones who was allowed to go 356 00:19:33,333 --> 00:19:36,053 Speaker 2: to shore because I had a top secret security clearance. 357 00:19:36,173 --> 00:19:38,333 Speaker 2: Although we weren't allowed to see much of the base, 358 00:19:38,453 --> 00:19:41,053 Speaker 2: we spent most of our time in the US Navy shop. 359 00:19:41,453 --> 00:19:44,093 Speaker 2: I think it was called I'm just just buying things 360 00:19:44,173 --> 00:19:46,933 Speaker 2: like chewing gum, tobacco, stuff that we don't normally get 361 00:19:46,973 --> 00:19:49,693 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. We were certainly told to stay on 362 00:19:49,853 --> 00:19:52,133 Speaker 2: the navy base, and I remember when we left there 363 00:19:52,213 --> 00:19:54,893 Speaker 2: was a fleet of fishing boats outside the harbor, but 364 00:19:55,013 --> 00:19:57,973 Speaker 2: we actually thought they were Russian spy vessels with antennas 365 00:19:58,053 --> 00:20:00,693 Speaker 2: bristling all over the upper deck. I want to go 366 00:20:00,813 --> 00:20:05,573 Speaker 2: to Diego Garcia. That sounds so interesting. Thank you for 367 00:20:05,693 --> 00:20:08,333 Speaker 2: sharing that. This definitely I think we've one thing we've 368 00:20:08,333 --> 00:20:10,733 Speaker 2: ascertained this morning is that this is probably going to 369 00:20:10,773 --> 00:20:13,813 Speaker 2: be the best way to go to Diego Gia. I 370 00:20:13,893 --> 00:20:17,333 Speaker 2: am actually a British citizen, so maybe you know if 371 00:20:17,413 --> 00:20:20,893 Speaker 2: the relationship between the Brits and Mauritius is improved as 372 00:20:20,933 --> 00:20:23,213 Speaker 2: a result of this week's news. Maybe just have to 373 00:20:23,293 --> 00:20:25,613 Speaker 2: join the British military, do a solid teen years there 374 00:20:25,613 --> 00:20:29,173 Speaker 2: and who knows the diego Gasia before you die.

And we are 382 00:21:06,373 --> 00:21:09,453 Speaker 2: speaking about jokers this morning because our film with you 383 00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:13,373 Speaker 2: at Francisca Rudkin is here killed er, good morning, and 384 00:21:13,733 --> 00:21:16,613 Speaker 2: her first film for us this morning is Joker folly 385 00:21:16,653 --> 00:21:17,053 Speaker 2: a du. 386 00:21:19,693 --> 00:21:22,893 Speaker 4: Two years ago the name Arthur Fleck had got them 387 00:21:22,973 --> 00:21:23,693 Speaker 4: like a hurricane. 388 00:21:25,853 --> 00:21:29,333 Speaker 10: When my first son Joker, Oh, I say my life 389 00:21:30,053 --> 00:21:31,733 Speaker 10: and felt so alone anymore. 390 00:21:38,933 --> 00:21:42,413 Speaker 2: Mmmm. Okay, Francisca, tell us about Joker folly a d. 391 00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:47,173 Speaker 11: Did you see the original Joker was released about twenty nineteen. 392 00:21:48,133 --> 00:21:51,173 Speaker 11: Wakin Phoenix was absolutely amazing and it really committed to 393 00:21:51,213 --> 00:21:54,133 Speaker 11: the role. The film was very grim it was very visceral, 394 00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:59,933 Speaker 11: very violent, very dark. I don't mind films that challenge us. 395 00:22:00,173 --> 00:22:03,453 Speaker 11: I struggled with the film though, I felt that it 396 00:22:03,613 --> 00:22:07,173 Speaker 11: was so devoid of any hope or any thing positive. 397 00:22:07,213 --> 00:22:10,053 Speaker 11: I wasn't sure what it's sort of offered. I wonder 398 00:22:10,133 --> 00:22:12,093 Speaker 11: what the point of the film was. It was an 399 00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:17,013 Speaker 11: origin story, so we basically learned about who Arthur Flack 400 00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:19,693 Speaker 11: was before he became the Joker, and we learned about how. 401 00:22:19,613 --> 00:22:20,413 Speaker 10: He became the Joker. 402 00:22:20,493 --> 00:22:24,453 Speaker 11: He was sort of this insult, this this outsider who 403 00:22:24,613 --> 00:22:27,133 Speaker 11: was just abused by anyone and everyone in his life, 404 00:22:27,213 --> 00:22:29,853 Speaker 11: and he turned and turns into the psychotic killer. So 405 00:22:30,013 --> 00:22:32,253 Speaker 11: with this film, we come back to the Joker's story. 406 00:22:32,453 --> 00:22:36,013 Speaker 11: He's in a state hospital awaiting trial for the murders 407 00:22:36,013 --> 00:22:39,613 Speaker 11: that we saw him doing the first Joker, and I 408 00:22:39,973 --> 00:22:44,333 Speaker 11: once again have that same sort of question. Oh, I'm 409 00:22:44,373 --> 00:22:46,213 Speaker 11: not sure what the point of this film was this 410 00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:48,973 Speaker 11: time around, though they've turned it into a musical. It's 411 00:22:49,013 --> 00:22:53,013 Speaker 11: trying Lady Gaga into the mix and he's awaiting his trial. 412 00:22:53,453 --> 00:22:56,533 Speaker 11: It's the trial. He also falls in love with another 413 00:22:56,613 --> 00:22:59,773 Speaker 11: inmpatient played by Lady Gaga, and there's all these fantasy 414 00:22:59,893 --> 00:23:02,453 Speaker 11: scenes between the two of them, which are the musical 415 00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:05,093 Speaker 11: scenes where he sort of sees what his life could 416 00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:07,653 Speaker 11: be all or kind of been, or the relationship they 417 00:23:07,693 --> 00:23:12,213 Speaker 11: can have. The main question this film asked is is 418 00:23:12,293 --> 00:23:15,253 Speaker 11: he insane? Does he have a split personality? Should he 419 00:23:15,413 --> 00:23:19,373 Speaker 11: be found guilty because you know, he's just actually an 420 00:23:19,533 --> 00:23:21,773 Speaker 11: evil guy who there's no doubt he did the murders, 421 00:23:22,213 --> 00:23:24,733 Speaker 11: or actually is he? Is there a reason why he 422 00:23:24,853 --> 00:23:27,053 Speaker 11: did them and he should be you know, acquitted for that. 423 00:23:28,013 --> 00:23:30,093 Speaker 11: The problem, of course, then becomes is you have this 424 00:23:30,253 --> 00:23:34,293 Speaker 11: character called Joker who burnt it's trying to burn down 425 00:23:34,373 --> 00:23:37,173 Speaker 11: society and everyone's behind him. If he admits that actually 426 00:23:37,253 --> 00:23:40,773 Speaker 11: he is insane it's this disorder. Does that take the 427 00:23:40,933 --> 00:23:42,773 Speaker 11: power of the Joker and what he was trying to 428 00:23:42,853 --> 00:23:45,173 Speaker 11: do and say about society and that will belive? Does 429 00:23:45,213 --> 00:23:47,773 Speaker 11: that diminish that? And as a character he sort of 430 00:23:47,853 --> 00:23:49,333 Speaker 11: has to decide And at the end of the day, 431 00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:51,093 Speaker 11: I think you kind of get to decide. 432 00:23:50,813 --> 00:23:51,533 Speaker 12: What you think about it. 433 00:23:52,093 --> 00:23:54,613 Speaker 11: But I look, I'm going to be honest, it's grims, 434 00:23:54,693 --> 00:23:57,333 Speaker 11: It's another our six team. This is not the kind 435 00:23:57,373 --> 00:23:59,773 Speaker 11: of comic book you know, film you think, oh, it'spea 436 00:23:59,773 --> 00:24:01,333 Speaker 11: good for the school holidays. We take the kids along. 437 00:24:02,053 --> 00:24:04,133 Speaker 11: And I think you probably had to really enjoy the 438 00:24:04,173 --> 00:24:05,533 Speaker 11: first film to get something out of this one. I 439 00:24:05,573 --> 00:24:08,133 Speaker 11: felt like this one just didn't give us. It just 440 00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:11,213 Speaker 11: felt a little bit flat, not sort of enough was 441 00:24:11,253 --> 00:24:13,373 Speaker 11: really going on. And once again, Jake, you know I'm 442 00:24:13,413 --> 00:24:16,333 Speaker 11: not the biggest musical fan, so maybe you also need 443 00:24:16,373 --> 00:24:18,373 Speaker 11: to be able to a fan of the musical interlude 444 00:24:18,453 --> 00:24:19,373 Speaker 11: to the number. 445 00:24:20,173 --> 00:24:23,973 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a joker. Next up, let's have a 446 00:24:24,013 --> 00:24:25,373 Speaker 2: listen to Will and Harper. 447 00:24:26,413 --> 00:24:26,493 Speaker 4: Hi. 448 00:24:26,613 --> 00:24:29,413 Speaker 13: There, I'm Will Ferrell, one of the greatest actors in 449 00:24:29,453 --> 00:24:32,493 Speaker 13: the world. A long time ago, back when I was 450 00:24:32,573 --> 00:24:34,813 Speaker 13: at Serenai Live, I met a guy who was hired 451 00:24:34,893 --> 00:24:37,773 Speaker 13: as a writer the same week I was hired. Over 452 00:24:37,813 --> 00:24:40,973 Speaker 13: the years, he became one of my closest friends. And 453 00:24:41,093 --> 00:24:45,453 Speaker 13: then one day I got this email, Hey, Will, something 454 00:24:45,533 --> 00:24:49,093 Speaker 13: I need you to know. I'll be transitioning to live 455 00:24:49,293 --> 00:24:49,893 Speaker 13: as a woman. 456 00:24:50,693 --> 00:24:53,013 Speaker 2: Okay, there's a good set up there, So tell us 457 00:24:53,013 --> 00:24:53,853 Speaker 2: about Will and Harper. 458 00:24:54,533 --> 00:24:57,693 Speaker 11: So this is a documentary which is currently playing on Netflix. 459 00:24:58,093 --> 00:25:00,893 Speaker 11: And this is an example of why comedy is such 460 00:25:01,093 --> 00:25:02,253 Speaker 11: a valuable genre. 461 00:25:02,373 --> 00:25:02,573 Speaker 3: Jack. 462 00:25:02,653 --> 00:25:07,733 Speaker 11: It allows us to talk about difficult, serious topics that 463 00:25:07,853 --> 00:25:11,413 Speaker 11: might make us uncomfortable, you know, it might it helps 464 00:25:11,493 --> 00:25:13,333 Speaker 11: us kind of deal with a topic that we might 465 00:25:13,413 --> 00:25:15,413 Speaker 11: be curious about but we don't know much about. And 466 00:25:15,493 --> 00:25:17,453 Speaker 11: that's pretty much what Will Pharel does in this film. 467 00:25:17,893 --> 00:25:20,933 Speaker 11: So Andrew Steele was they started at Saturday Night Live 468 00:25:20,973 --> 00:25:23,573 Speaker 11: at the same time. He was a writer, Will was 469 00:25:23,613 --> 00:25:27,333 Speaker 11: an actor. And Andrew Steel goes on to become the 470 00:25:27,413 --> 00:25:30,573 Speaker 11: head writer for many years at Saturday Night Live. And 471 00:25:31,173 --> 00:25:34,093 Speaker 11: I've been friends for thirty years. And at sixty one, 472 00:25:35,853 --> 00:25:38,613 Speaker 11: Andrew decides to transition and becomes Harper Steel and tells 473 00:25:38,653 --> 00:25:40,653 Speaker 11: Will about this, and so Will's fears sort of thoughts 474 00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:43,613 Speaker 11: is okay, that's cool. But then of course he's like, well, 475 00:25:43,733 --> 00:25:47,253 Speaker 11: how does this kind of affect our friendship? What does 476 00:25:47,293 --> 00:25:49,453 Speaker 11: this kind of mean? How do I deal with this? 477 00:25:50,333 --> 00:25:54,893 Speaker 11: And Harper is the kind of person that has always 478 00:25:55,013 --> 00:26:01,013 Speaker 11: loved traveling across America, stopping in small towns, love loves dives, 479 00:26:01,053 --> 00:26:04,933 Speaker 11: bars and really bad bears, And so Will says to her, Look, 480 00:26:05,813 --> 00:26:07,453 Speaker 11: this is how you wanted to live your life. 481 00:26:07,653 --> 00:26:09,693 Speaker 10: I know that you're not how this is what you 482 00:26:09,813 --> 00:26:10,373 Speaker 10: love in life. 483 00:26:10,853 --> 00:26:12,253 Speaker 11: I know it's quite hard for you to do this 484 00:26:12,333 --> 00:26:14,333 Speaker 11: as happen. Why don't we do it together. Let's cross 485 00:26:14,373 --> 00:26:16,693 Speaker 11: the country, let's travel New York, LA. And I'm with you. 486 00:26:16,893 --> 00:26:18,613 Speaker 11: Let's go and do this and see how it goes. 487 00:26:19,453 --> 00:26:21,893 Speaker 11: And before they left and when they sort of started 488 00:26:21,893 --> 00:26:23,773 Speaker 11: this documentary up, but it's been very well produced. When 489 00:26:23,773 --> 00:26:26,453 Speaker 11: they started, I think they thought they kind of you know, 490 00:26:26,653 --> 00:26:28,653 Speaker 11: set up some gags and thought about some fun things 491 00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:29,133 Speaker 11: they could. 492 00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:29,573 Speaker 4: Do along the way. 493 00:26:29,613 --> 00:26:31,933 Speaker 11: But then as the sort of carries on, they realized 494 00:26:31,933 --> 00:26:34,533 Speaker 11: that just letting it be, you were going to get 495 00:26:34,573 --> 00:26:36,653 Speaker 11: the humor, you were going to get the conversations. And 496 00:26:36,733 --> 00:26:40,173 Speaker 11: it's just this really lovely story about friendship. And what 497 00:26:40,253 --> 00:26:42,453 Speaker 11: I like about it is that although it sort of 498 00:26:42,533 --> 00:26:45,133 Speaker 11: feels like it's quite a good production, behind it, Will 499 00:26:45,213 --> 00:26:49,133 Speaker 11: himself asks questions as clumsily as you or I might, 500 00:26:49,413 --> 00:26:52,453 Speaker 11: you know, like of his friend and what they've been 501 00:26:52,533 --> 00:26:54,133 Speaker 11: through and what it's like for them, and how long 502 00:26:54,173 --> 00:26:57,213 Speaker 11: we've felt like this, and you know, and asks all 503 00:26:57,293 --> 00:26:59,693 Speaker 11: sorts of questions that we're all sort of would be 504 00:26:59,813 --> 00:27:02,413 Speaker 11: curious to ask a friend if they had been through 505 00:27:02,453 --> 00:27:04,373 Speaker 11: a transition.

At times, they're very but then there's also 510 00:27:17,653 --> 00:27:20,253 Speaker 11: a lot of seriousness in here because Will realizes that 511 00:27:20,373 --> 00:27:22,573 Speaker 11: actually he's been able to be a buffer for Harper. 512 00:27:22,853 --> 00:27:25,253 Speaker 11: You know, he's this fate well most most of the 513 00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:27,653 Speaker 11: time people recognize them.

It's a great starter 587 00:30:34,773 --> 00:30:38,733 Speaker 7: you could save with some showado. There's so many different options. 588 00:30:38,773 --> 00:30:40,973 Speaker 7: You can have it with corn chips, you can do 589 00:30:41,093 --> 00:30:44,093 Speaker 7: it on toast like It's just the options are endless. 590 00:30:44,293 --> 00:30:47,053 Speaker 2: Now that sounds that sounds awesome. Okay, run us through it. 591 00:30:47,093 --> 00:30:48,973 Speaker 2: How do we make it sure? 592 00:30:49,133 --> 00:30:52,053 Speaker 7: So we start off with our eggplants, so within more salid. 593 00:30:52,133 --> 00:30:55,373 Speaker 7: What we've done is we've done a workshop on every page. 594 00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:58,133 Speaker 7: So that's kind of the point of difference between our 595 00:30:58,253 --> 00:31:01,213 Speaker 7: five others or our four other cookbooks. So if you 596 00:31:01,253 --> 00:31:03,973 Speaker 7: don't have eggplant, or eggplants are really expensive, in the 597 00:31:04,053 --> 00:31:07,253 Speaker 7: swap for this recipee, we've said if you can swap 598 00:31:07,293 --> 00:31:10,693 Speaker 7: eggplants with roasted spring carrots or I mean, if we're 599 00:31:10,693 --> 00:31:13,413 Speaker 7: in winter. We're not now, but you could do pumpkin 600 00:31:13,533 --> 00:31:15,413 Speaker 7: or yams, or you can refer to us what with 601 00:31:15,493 --> 00:31:18,413 Speaker 7: the Season's Guide and more salads for more options. So 602 00:31:18,653 --> 00:31:21,373 Speaker 7: with the egg plant, cut it up, chuck it on 603 00:31:21,453 --> 00:31:25,573 Speaker 7: a baking tray. And with eggplant, the key is lots 604 00:31:25,613 --> 00:31:28,093 Speaker 7: of oil. Always add more than what you think, because 605 00:31:28,093 --> 00:31:31,253 Speaker 7: a lot of people hate eggplant because it's really rubbery, 606 00:31:31,733 --> 00:31:34,133 Speaker 7: but it's because you're not adding enough oil. So make 607 00:31:34,213 --> 00:31:37,813 Speaker 7: sure you add about three to four tablespoons of oil. 608 00:31:38,213 --> 00:31:40,573 Speaker 7: Pop it in a preheated oven at two hundred degrees 609 00:31:40,653 --> 00:31:42,733 Speaker 7: for about twenty five to thirty minutes, and you'll have 610 00:31:43,213 --> 00:31:47,213 Speaker 7: the most amazing, soft, delicious eggplant. So while that's in 611 00:31:47,253 --> 00:31:49,653 Speaker 7: the oven, we're going to make the avocado whips. But 612 00:31:49,893 --> 00:31:52,813 Speaker 7: in this whip, we've got one avocado, We've got one 613 00:31:52,853 --> 00:31:56,493 Speaker 7: cup of fresh herbs, so herbs and in more salad. 614 00:31:56,533 --> 00:31:59,253 Speaker 7: We've just ridden herbs. So that can be anything you have, 615 00:31:59,413 --> 00:32:03,453 Speaker 7: whether it's mint, basil, parsley, coriander, can be a mixture 616 00:32:03,493 --> 00:32:06,173 Speaker 7: of a couple. Just do whatever you've got at home. 617 00:32:06,573 --> 00:32:11,413 Speaker 7: You've got extraversion olive oil, hulld to heni so to henie. 618 00:32:11,413 --> 00:32:13,493 Speaker 7: A lot of people don't like to heni. But if 619 00:32:13,533 --> 00:32:15,933 Speaker 7: you don't like it, because you're probably getting the wrong one. 620 00:32:16,053 --> 00:32:18,613 Speaker 7: So make sure you're always getting hulled. And then we've 621 00:32:18,653 --> 00:32:22,133 Speaker 7: got garlic, lemon and sea salt. So if you don't well, 622 00:32:22,293 --> 00:32:25,013 Speaker 7: this whip is a great way to use your bad avocado. 623 00:32:25,133 --> 00:32:27,453 Speaker 7: So if you open it and it's not that slash, 624 00:32:27,973 --> 00:32:31,093 Speaker 7: make this recipe.

We were going through the 666 00:34:47,373 --> 00:34:50,813 Speaker 15: one hundred and fifty year celebration of Teddy t Or 667 00:34:50,933 --> 00:34:56,733 Speaker 15: White Tonguey So and it was Maldy doing everything acting, writing, producing, 668 00:34:56,893 --> 00:34:59,173 Speaker 15: directing drama. And I thought, oh, I've got to come 669 00:34:59,213 --> 00:35:01,253 Speaker 15: and live in Wellington because this is where theater is 670 00:35:02,133 --> 00:35:05,213 Speaker 15: and as an actor you've got to learn your craft. 671 00:35:06,373 --> 00:35:11,053 Speaker 15: And so this space was there during that time of 672 00:35:11,933 --> 00:35:18,373 Speaker 15: pivotal changes, which we had a wonderful fabric of comata 673 00:35:18,453 --> 00:35:21,573 Speaker 15: who were mostly women, so I call them the founding mothers. 674 00:35:22,293 --> 00:35:26,213 Speaker 15: Kitty Cartunya Baker, Sunny, Amy Roner, all of these women 675 00:35:26,293 --> 00:35:32,333 Speaker 15: who literally most creative artists have a space for humanity 676 00:35:32,573 --> 00:35:35,013 Speaker 15: rather than politics. So they're not afraid, they're not thinking 677 00:35:35,053 --> 00:35:38,773 Speaker 15: about political things. They're thinking, hey, we need to this 678 00:35:39,013 --> 00:35:42,653 Speaker 15: is a season where we need to start creating and 679 00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:46,453 Speaker 15: dedicating the space to the Maldi voice, to Maldi stories. 680 00:35:47,213 --> 00:35:50,013 Speaker 15: And the following year, nineteen ninety one is when they 681 00:35:50,053 --> 00:35:53,653 Speaker 15: did the renaming ceremony of changing the depot is what 682 00:35:53,773 --> 00:35:56,973 Speaker 15: it was called to Takiua, the weaving of two. That 683 00:35:57,213 --> 00:36:02,053 Speaker 15: same year, play Market published a book head air Hoe, 684 00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:05,773 Speaker 15: which was five plays by Maldi playwrights. So a lot 685 00:36:05,813 --> 00:36:08,533 Speaker 15: of us came out of that stable. A lot of 686 00:36:08,653 --> 00:36:12,013 Speaker 15: us learned our craft there before tuky Do though theater 687 00:36:12,453 --> 00:36:15,333 Speaker 15: I was first started in New Zealand with Don Soarwyn 688 00:36:15,373 --> 00:36:18,533 Speaker 15: and Mary padoing there to Birdier series, which is where 689 00:36:18,573 --> 00:36:21,093 Speaker 15: I met Leta Mahori and do We're Brown? And I 690 00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:23,813 Speaker 15: had gone to drama school in London, and it's a 691 00:36:23,893 --> 00:36:26,373 Speaker 15: craft people. I couldn't have done what I did with 692 00:36:26,653 --> 00:36:30,053 Speaker 15: Beth Heckare without learning my craft. And all those years 693 00:36:30,133 --> 00:36:33,173 Speaker 15: of theater and so takey Door gave us that space 694 00:36:33,253 --> 00:36:35,773 Speaker 15: to write plays. I wanted to work with weak Cookie Car, 695 00:36:35,933 --> 00:36:37,933 Speaker 15: so I wrote a play called Daddy's Girl so I 696 00:36:38,013 --> 00:36:41,053 Speaker 15: could work with weak Cookie Car. I drama turned, I 697 00:36:41,213 --> 00:36:44,413 Speaker 15: stage managed, I directed, I produced. We all did everything 698 00:36:44,733 --> 00:36:49,173 Speaker 15: to create this vibrant theater space and it became hugely successful. 699 00:36:49,733 --> 00:36:53,893 Speaker 15: We had full houses, every show was full, and then 700 00:36:54,013 --> 00:36:58,653 Speaker 15: eventually it transformed into a company that lost its building 701 00:36:59,213 --> 00:37:02,133 Speaker 15: but went on to become a huge commercial success, which 702 00:37:02,213 --> 00:37:04,093 Speaker 15: is not easy to do in the world of theater. 703 00:37:04,413 --> 00:37:05,733 Speaker 15: It's not a lot of money in theater. 704 00:37:06,373 --> 00:37:09,453 Speaker 2: We do it for love commercial success in theater in 705 00:37:09,533 --> 00:37:11,133 Speaker 2: the same time, No, they're not. 706 00:37:11,333 --> 00:37:14,413 Speaker 15: I waited tables, I cleaned toilets, I did all those 707 00:37:14,693 --> 00:37:17,013 Speaker 15: jobs that other actors do to pay the bills while 708 00:37:17,053 --> 00:37:19,933 Speaker 15: I was doing my passion. But it's where I learned 709 00:37:20,013 --> 00:37:23,533 Speaker 15: my craft. I also futtyn Or Noddle, which is a 710 00:37:23,573 --> 00:37:26,453 Speaker 15: big part of the documentary, took you to a breaking 711 00:37:26,853 --> 00:37:31,853 Speaker 15: barriers when it all my handed over the reins for 712 00:37:32,013 --> 00:37:34,893 Speaker 15: me to play the role of Ruby. That is still 713 00:37:34,973 --> 00:37:37,973 Speaker 15: to this date one of the best pieces of theater 714 00:37:38,253 --> 00:37:42,453 Speaker 15: I have ever worked on. And it links into Once 715 00:37:42,573 --> 00:37:46,493 Speaker 15: Were Warriors because we toured futting A Noddle Wellington to 716 00:37:46,613 --> 00:37:50,893 Speaker 15: Auckland into the Adelaide Theater Festival and I had heard 717 00:37:50,973 --> 00:37:53,973 Speaker 15: that Communicado had the rights for Once Were Warriors and 718 00:37:54,133 --> 00:37:55,973 Speaker 15: having read the book I knew that that was going 719 00:37:56,053 --> 00:37:58,213 Speaker 15: to be a role to die for, which I literally did. 720 00:37:59,053 --> 00:38:01,773 Speaker 15: But I actually had the audacity of my youth thring 721 00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:04,493 Speaker 15: them up and say, oh, Kilder, my name's Renna Owen 722 00:38:04,613 --> 00:38:06,893 Speaker 15: and I'm in this play called Futo not or not 723 00:38:07,013 --> 00:38:09,933 Speaker 15: All when I'm playing Ruby, and Ruby's a character that's 724 00:38:09,973 --> 00:38:12,653 Speaker 15: a lot like Beth heickeett. I would love look if 725 00:38:12,693 --> 00:38:14,413 Speaker 15: I bought you tickets, would you come and see the 726 00:38:14,493 --> 00:38:18,053 Speaker 15: play and see my work? And Ross Jennings, who was 727 00:38:18,133 --> 00:38:21,453 Speaker 15: a partner of their communicator, he came, wow, and he said, yeah, 728 00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:25,653 Speaker 15: you'd be really good for me. Well, I had to 729 00:38:25,853 --> 00:38:28,293 Speaker 15: an audition the following year, but that was part of it. 730 00:38:28,773 --> 00:38:31,333 Speaker 15: That was absolutely part of the process. But a year 731 00:38:31,413 --> 00:38:34,613 Speaker 15: before then was actually my first encounter was with Alan 732 00:38:34,693 --> 00:38:38,253 Speaker 15: duff in the Book and Dylan's Bookstore. Because they knew 733 00:38:38,413 --> 00:38:41,053 Speaker 15: our co op Tucky to a co op did Malori 734 00:38:41,133 --> 00:38:44,013 Speaker 15: acting Malori directing. They asked me if i'd present a 735 00:38:44,093 --> 00:38:47,813 Speaker 15: reading of his second novel, One Night Out Out Stealing, 736 00:38:48,493 --> 00:38:51,253 Speaker 15: and so I did, and my Maldi actor didn't show up, 737 00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:53,453 Speaker 15: so I ended up having to read this extract and 738 00:38:53,533 --> 00:38:56,453 Speaker 15: Allen thought the whole idea of this presentation was a 739 00:38:56,493 --> 00:39:01,013 Speaker 15: bit ardie fardi. But once I started to read, he 740 00:39:01,133 --> 00:39:03,333 Speaker 15: turned around and he watched and he listened, and he 741 00:39:03,413 --> 00:39:05,213 Speaker 15: came up and he said to me, he said, how 742 00:39:05,253 --> 00:39:07,133 Speaker 15: did you do that? You read it? You read it 743 00:39:07,293 --> 00:39:09,853 Speaker 15: exactly the way I wrote it. How did you do that? 744 00:39:09,933 --> 00:39:12,253 Speaker 15: And I said, I'm an actor? And he said, have 745 00:39:12,373 --> 00:39:13,373 Speaker 15: you ever read my book? 746 00:39:13,413 --> 00:39:13,573 Speaker 4: Once? 747 00:39:13,653 --> 00:39:16,333 Speaker 15: We're worries because you'd make a great Beth. And he 748 00:39:16,413 --> 00:39:18,253 Speaker 15: got a copy of the publisher and he signed in 749 00:39:18,293 --> 00:39:23,293 Speaker 15: it to Renna maybe my Beth, I hope. So so 750 00:39:23,453 --> 00:39:26,373 Speaker 15: that started. Then, yes, and then with tATu nudd or 751 00:39:26,413 --> 00:39:30,533 Speaker 15: nuddle thanks to me working at Takidua and tuky do 752 00:39:31,213 --> 00:39:34,453 Speaker 15: you employed us? Okay, we may not have made the 753 00:39:34,493 --> 00:39:38,293 Speaker 15: big bucks, but it gave us work. And when you're 754 00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:40,733 Speaker 15: growing and learning as a writer or an actor or 755 00:39:40,733 --> 00:39:42,813 Speaker 15: a director or a dramatri, you've got to do it. 756 00:39:43,013 --> 00:39:45,133 Speaker 15: It's like any craft. The more you do it, the 757 00:39:45,253 --> 00:39:49,453 Speaker 15: better you get. And I highly recommend theater to young 758 00:39:49,533 --> 00:39:53,493 Speaker 15: actors because it's not so much about vanity or ego 759 00:39:53,653 --> 00:39:56,213 Speaker 15: or having your photo on a magazine or being famous. 760 00:39:56,293 --> 00:40:00,333 Speaker 15: It's about craft. It's about the one oh ones of 761 00:40:00,453 --> 00:40:02,893 Speaker 15: what this industry is all about, which has been a 762 00:40:02,973 --> 00:40:06,253 Speaker 15: storyteller and being able to tell a story and draw 763 00:40:06,453 --> 00:40:09,533 Speaker 15: in an audience and then touching their minds, their hearts 764 00:40:09,693 --> 00:40:10,853 Speaker 15: and telling a story. 765 00:40:11,733 --> 00:40:16,293 Speaker 2: Thirty years, Yes, Once We're Warriors.

I couldn't be an actor at 823 00:43:51,293 --> 00:43:53,613 Speaker 15: the end of the seventies because I had no role models, 824 00:43:54,413 --> 00:43:57,253 Speaker 15: and as a woman, my career options were a secretary, teacher, 825 00:43:57,333 --> 00:44:00,653 Speaker 15: or nurse. So I trained as a nurse and you know, 826 00:44:00,933 --> 00:44:04,773 Speaker 15: but and qualified and I got back into acting because 827 00:44:04,813 --> 00:44:07,173 Speaker 15: that's what was in my heart, that is my passion. 828 00:44:08,053 --> 00:44:10,533 Speaker 15: So to now be a role model for all of 829 00:44:10,653 --> 00:44:14,733 Speaker 15: those And there is an incredibly extraordinary amount of Polynesian 830 00:44:14,853 --> 00:44:17,733 Speaker 15: talent here in New Zealand and then the South Pacific. 831 00:44:17,813 --> 00:44:19,693 Speaker 15: And what we have going for us as a nation 832 00:44:20,493 --> 00:44:23,453 Speaker 15: is this is the largest Polynesian city in the world. 833 00:44:24,293 --> 00:44:29,173 Speaker 15: It's our most unique Our Polynesian heritage, our cultures is 834 00:44:29,293 --> 00:44:32,773 Speaker 15: what makes our country unique and different. 835 00:44:32,893 --> 00:44:37,773 Speaker 2: So let's let's celebrate the Yeah.

And I have enormous confidence in 857 00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:59,973 Speaker 15: our at our future generations watch out, because they're growing 858 00:46:00,093 --> 00:46:03,573 Speaker 15: up with things that the likes of my generation didn't 859 00:46:03,653 --> 00:46:08,413 Speaker 15: have access to. You know, there growing up, you know, 860 00:46:08,653 --> 00:46:11,413 Speaker 15: with the stories of Once Were Warriors that are now 861 00:46:11,613 --> 00:46:14,453 Speaker 15: all out of the wardrobes. Thank goodness, because these are 862 00:46:14,493 --> 00:46:17,533 Speaker 15: all issues, which is where the documentary I'm going to 863 00:46:17,613 --> 00:46:20,813 Speaker 15: make about Once We're Warriors is still relevant. Is that 864 00:46:21,013 --> 00:46:23,533 Speaker 15: all of the things that were portrayed in this film 865 00:46:23,973 --> 00:46:27,093 Speaker 15: are still happening today. We lost to Maldi children this 866 00:46:27,253 --> 00:46:34,053 Speaker 15: year to violence, you know, these things, sexual abuse, these 867 00:46:34,253 --> 00:46:37,053 Speaker 15: issues are still happening. And that's the privilege of being 868 00:46:37,093 --> 00:46:39,933 Speaker 15: an artist, as you get to try your best to 869 00:46:40,053 --> 00:46:44,173 Speaker 15: represent a slice of humanity. And I knew this film 870 00:46:44,333 --> 00:46:46,253 Speaker 15: right back when I read the book. I thought, wow, 871 00:46:47,373 --> 00:46:52,333 Speaker 15: because my generation and generations before me, my mother's are 872 00:46:52,333 --> 00:46:56,613 Speaker 15: other generations. They didn't have domestic violence outreaches to go to. 873 00:46:57,053 --> 00:47:00,173 Speaker 15: They suffered in silence till death. Do you apart? 874 00:47:01,333 --> 00:47:01,533 Speaker 3: You know. 875 00:47:01,813 --> 00:47:03,213 Speaker 10: So it's a. 876 00:47:03,373 --> 00:47:08,693 Speaker 15: Profound privilege to be a storyteller. I am indebted to 877 00:47:10,213 --> 00:47:13,573 Speaker 15: Anne Mitchell in London and the Actors' Institute in London, 878 00:47:13,693 --> 00:47:16,493 Speaker 15: and here to Don Sour and Larry Parr to the 879 00:47:16,613 --> 00:47:19,733 Speaker 15: Air to be at their series Too Tucky Doer, because 880 00:47:19,773 --> 00:47:23,573 Speaker 15: these became my stables. They were the place where I, 881 00:47:24,893 --> 00:47:28,613 Speaker 15: you know, I found my place. I belonged because growing 882 00:47:28,693 --> 00:47:31,213 Speaker 15: up I was one of those little, skinny, little kids, 883 00:47:31,333 --> 00:47:34,853 Speaker 15: vulnerable kids who was different and unusual, and I got 884 00:47:35,053 --> 00:47:38,733 Speaker 15: beaten and bullied because I think a lot of our 885 00:47:38,813 --> 00:47:43,213 Speaker 15: creatives and our hyper sensitive children, we're easy targets. For bullies, 886 00:47:44,773 --> 00:47:47,933 Speaker 15: you know. So just the only thing I'd like to 887 00:47:48,013 --> 00:47:50,853 Speaker 15: leave with our young listeners is you can't be what 888 00:47:51,013 --> 00:47:52,813 Speaker 15: you're not. You've got to be what you're born to be. 889 00:47:53,813 --> 00:47:57,813 Speaker 15: And so I'm thankfully thanks to people like Tuket institutions 890 00:47:57,893 --> 00:48:00,493 Speaker 15: like Tukey Doer who are still doing it by the ways, 891 00:48:00,573 --> 00:48:04,013 Speaker 15: they're still doing their outreach work in schools and communities 892 00:48:04,333 --> 00:48:10,133 Speaker 15: and giving Maldy and Polynesians and Pakia everyone opportunities to 893 00:48:10,253 --> 00:48:13,453 Speaker 15: come and be a part of theater.

Me being 897 00:48:24,093 --> 00:48:26,333 Speaker 15: so emotional as a kid was not easy on my 898 00:48:26,853 --> 00:48:29,533 Speaker 15: mother Yea, or some of my brothers and sisters. But 899 00:48:29,653 --> 00:48:32,213 Speaker 15: the irony is is now I get paid to right. 900 00:48:34,013 --> 00:48:36,413 Speaker 2: It is such a pleasure to speak.

Joan is a young mother in her twenties 928 00:49:48,733 --> 00:49:51,773 Speaker 16: when she leaves her violent husband and goes to London 929 00:49:52,173 --> 00:49:54,093 Speaker 16: where she tries to find a job at a home 930 00:49:54,533 --> 00:49:57,253 Speaker 16: for her daughter. It's not easy, and she talks her 931 00:49:57,293 --> 00:50:00,773 Speaker 16: way into getting a job in a jewelry shop. Joan 932 00:50:00,893 --> 00:50:03,053 Speaker 16: is someone who knows an opportunity when she sees one. 933 00:50:03,133 --> 00:50:06,213 Speaker 16: She's very clever and smart, and she decides to steal 934 00:50:06,533 --> 00:50:10,253 Speaker 16: some loose diamonds and then has this chance meeting with 935 00:50:10,333 --> 00:50:13,573 Speaker 16: an antiques stealer and they team up to sell on 936 00:50:13,653 --> 00:50:16,773 Speaker 16: these jewels and become this force to be reckoned with 937 00:50:16,933 --> 00:50:20,053 Speaker 16: within the organized crime world in Britain. And it's a 938 00:50:20,133 --> 00:50:22,413 Speaker 16: real rags to rich's tail and a lot of fun 939 00:50:22,493 --> 00:50:25,533 Speaker 16: to watch. Joan is this great anti hero. She's a 940 00:50:25,613 --> 00:50:28,693 Speaker 16: good person who makes some bad decisions, but you're always 941 00:50:28,773 --> 00:50:32,333 Speaker 16: on her side. She gets to wear all these different disguises, 942 00:50:32,413 --> 00:50:34,013 Speaker 16: she gets to be a lot of different people. And 943 00:50:34,813 --> 00:50:38,333 Speaker 16: the show has gone really hard on recreating the eighties 944 00:50:38,413 --> 00:50:42,173 Speaker 16: with the costumes and the set music. It's just fabulous 945 00:50:42,253 --> 00:50:44,853 Speaker 16: and it's such an incredible story and they've recreated it 946 00:50:45,013 --> 00:50:47,333 Speaker 16: in a very entertaining, very bingeable way. 947 00:50:47,413 --> 00:50:50,253 Speaker 2: I really like this one awesome. Okay, that's Joan. That's 948 00:50:50,333 --> 00:50:54,293 Speaker 2: on Neon on Disney plus Last Days of the Space Age. 949 00:50:55,133 --> 00:50:58,373 Speaker 16: This is a new Australian drama and a bit like Joan. 950 00:50:58,493 --> 00:51:01,293 Speaker 16: This is a drama set in quite a nostalgic time 951 00:51:01,373 --> 00:51:04,133 Speaker 16: in place. This is set in Western Australia in the 952 00:51:04,253 --> 00:51:07,493 Speaker 16: late nineteen seventies and it's about three families who live 953 00:51:07,573 --> 00:51:10,853 Speaker 16: in the same suburb and it takes place against these 954 00:51:10,893 --> 00:51:13,653 Speaker 16: two big events that actually happened. One was the Miss 955 00:51:13,813 --> 00:51:17,573 Speaker 16: Universe competition coming to Perth in nineteen seventy nine and 956 00:51:17,693 --> 00:51:20,733 Speaker 16: the other was the US space station Skylab crashing to 957 00:51:20,813 --> 00:51:23,533 Speaker 16: the ground near town. So the show takes these two 958 00:51:23,613 --> 00:51:27,413 Speaker 16: big world events and places them against these the lives 959 00:51:27,453 --> 00:51:31,093 Speaker 16: of these suburban families, and it's looking back on that 960 00:51:31,213 --> 00:51:35,053 Speaker 16: time with some rose tinted glasses on. This is very nostalgic. 961 00:51:35,493 --> 00:51:38,093 Speaker 16: It's quite a gentle show. It's trying to say a 962 00:51:38,173 --> 00:51:40,733 Speaker 16: lot of different things about Australian society at that time, 963 00:51:40,853 --> 00:51:43,293 Speaker 16: and I'm not sure it completely pulls it off. It's 964 00:51:43,333 --> 00:51:46,093 Speaker 16: almost trying to do too much. But if you like 965 00:51:46,173 --> 00:51:49,613 Speaker 16: a warm, gentle, nostalgic TV series that takes you back 966 00:51:49,653 --> 00:51:50,773 Speaker 16: to a certain time of place. 967 00:51:50,933 --> 00:51:51,613 Speaker 3: This will do that. 968 00:51:52,693 --> 00:51:54,373 Speaker 16: I mean, it's a Disney show, but I feel like 969 00:51:54,493 --> 00:51:57,333 Speaker 16: this would fit in really well in sort of a 970 00:51:57,373 --> 00:51:59,813 Speaker 16: TV one Sunday night kind of slot. It's that kind 971 00:51:59,853 --> 00:52:02,373 Speaker 16: of vibe. And it has this great cast as well. 972 00:52:02,413 --> 00:52:06,893 Speaker 16: There's some amazing acting talent in here. Radha Mitchell, Jesse Spencer, Mailman, 973 00:52:07,373 --> 00:52:09,653 Speaker 16: Ed Glenn So there's a lot of talent here and 974 00:52:09,773 --> 00:52:10,693 Speaker 16: they really lift the show. 975 00:52:10,693 --> 00:52:14,133 Speaker 2: It's nice, okay, cool and on Neon.

And Doctor Oliver is that kind 992 00:53:02,413 --> 00:53:04,413 Speaker 16: of guy. He will break the rules if it means 993 00:53:04,453 --> 00:53:06,733 Speaker 16: he can connect with his patients a different way, even 994 00:53:06,733 --> 00:53:09,413 Speaker 16: if it gets some fired. So you know, it's a 995 00:53:09,413 --> 00:53:11,733 Speaker 16: great little medical drama.

Now, 1044 00:55:45,533 --> 00:55:47,493 Speaker 17: this is the twenty one billion dollar behemoth and was 1045 00:55:47,493 --> 00:55:50,893 Speaker 17: going to transform allegedly Sydney public transport and it seems 1046 00:55:50,973 --> 00:55:53,413 Speaker 17: at first report to be working. Now the trouble with 1047 00:55:53,493 --> 00:55:56,493 Speaker 17: transport here Wellington famously hopelessly the bus has went up 1048 00:55:56,493 --> 00:55:58,453 Speaker 17: the wrong streets, ran out of gas, never turned up 1049 00:55:58,453 --> 00:56:00,133 Speaker 17: in the first place. Now they'll claim all that's fixed 1050 00:56:00,173 --> 00:56:02,173 Speaker 17: now Auckland buses have been hit and this forever, I 1051 00:56:02,253 --> 00:56:04,093 Speaker 17: mean our kids over the years eventually refused to go 1052 00:56:04,173 --> 00:56:05,613 Speaker 17: on a bus at all for the simple reason they 1053 00:56:05,653 --> 00:56:08,613 Speaker 17: literally took up. The trains are permanently canceled still for 1054 00:56:08,813 --> 00:56:11,613 Speaker 17: never ending schedules of maintenance. So the theory has never 1055 00:56:11,733 --> 00:56:15,213 Speaker 17: met the reality. And in that consistency and ensuing reputation 1056 00:56:15,373 --> 00:56:18,893 Speaker 17: for reliability is the real answer for the public transport conundrums. 1057 00:56:19,013 --> 00:56:22,093 Speaker 17: Back Monday, from six am, the Mike asking Breakfast with 1058 00:56:22,173 --> 00:56:25,013 Speaker 17: the Jaguar spage used talk ZB twenty. 1059 00:56:24,693 --> 00:56:27,453 Speaker 2: Two minutes to eleven non news Talk ZEDBU with Jack 1060 00:56:27,573 --> 00:56:32,013 Speaker 2: tame So. In the United States, America's biggest news website, 1061 00:56:32,213 --> 00:56:37,013 Speaker 2: CNN's website has just started rolling out its paywall. Texbert 1062 00:56:37,093 --> 00:56:39,413 Speaker 2: Paul Stenhouse is here with the details. Gout of Paul. 1063 00:56:40,133 --> 00:56:43,333 Speaker 18: Yeah, this has been I guess a long time coming, actually, Jack, 1064 00:56:43,453 --> 00:56:47,453 Speaker 18: because we've been seeing CNN's viewership on TV. 1065 00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:49,773 Speaker 19: Fall and fall and fall over the years. 1066 00:56:50,733 --> 00:56:53,573 Speaker 18: And the big question is how do you pay for 1067 00:56:53,773 --> 00:56:58,773 Speaker 18: such an expansive news operation? Because when they go to 1068 00:56:58,893 --> 00:57:01,213 Speaker 18: something this is a crazy start, right, I want to 1069 00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:03,093 Speaker 18: see any anchors said in an interview that when they 1070 00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:05,893 Speaker 18: went to each of the Republican national Conventions and the 1071 00:57:05,973 --> 00:57:08,773 Speaker 18: Democrat National Convention, CNN. 1072 00:57:08,533 --> 00:57:13,733 Speaker 19: Sent three hundred people. Three hundred people. Now that's just 1073 00:57:14,013 --> 00:57:17,133 Speaker 19: one event. Think of all of the news events going 1074 00:57:17,213 --> 00:57:19,933 Speaker 19: on in the United States and around the world. 1075 00:57:20,373 --> 00:57:22,733 Speaker 18: And they used to do it by obviously these massive 1076 00:57:22,773 --> 00:57:25,253 Speaker 18: TV ratings and getting all these big fees from all 1077 00:57:25,293 --> 00:57:27,413 Speaker 18: the cable providers and that type of thing. 1078 00:57:27,493 --> 00:57:30,493 Speaker 19: It's gone away, and so CNN has been grappling with 1079 00:57:30,613 --> 00:57:31,213 Speaker 19: what do you do? 1080 00:57:32,293 --> 00:57:35,213 Speaker 18: They aren't getting enough money from advertising on their news website, 1081 00:57:35,293 --> 00:57:38,533 Speaker 18: and so now they've started rolling out a paywall. We've 1082 00:57:38,573 --> 00:57:43,253 Speaker 18: assumed this is coming why because CNN CEO is a 1083 00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:45,493 Speaker 18: new guy who came from a place called The New 1084 00:57:45,573 --> 00:57:49,573 Speaker 18: York Times, where he rolled out a paywall via and 1085 00:57:49,733 --> 00:57:53,293 Speaker 18: basically it's become the envy of the news industry over here. 1086 00:57:53,333 --> 00:57:58,813 Speaker 18: They've got ten million digital subscribers who are basically paying 1087 00:57:58,933 --> 00:58:02,933 Speaker 18: for the Times journalism. CNN currently has one hundred and 1088 00:58:03,013 --> 00:58:08,173 Speaker 18: seventeen million unique viewers each month on their digital platforms, 1089 00:58:08,573 --> 00:58:10,493 Speaker 18: so they will really be hoping they can try to 1090 00:58:10,573 --> 00:58:13,653 Speaker 18: convert as many of those as they can to fuel 1091 00:58:14,933 --> 00:58:17,893 Speaker 18: their whole operation. Yeah moment, they're not doing it for everybody. 1092 00:58:17,893 --> 00:58:20,973 Speaker 18: They're rolling it out in a very slow, slow way, 1093 00:58:21,533 --> 00:58:24,933 Speaker 18: just like The Times did. Actually targeting the most heavy 1094 00:58:25,053 --> 00:58:27,173 Speaker 18: users of seen in dot com at the moment, only 1095 00:58:27,253 --> 00:58:30,293 Speaker 18: in the United States, and they're asking them to pay four. 1096 00:58:30,173 --> 00:58:33,653 Speaker 19: Bucks a month for access. Right, Okay, they're starting, that's 1097 00:58:33,693 --> 00:58:34,213 Speaker 19: their starting. 1098 00:58:34,373 --> 00:58:38,533 Speaker 2: Hmmm. Interesting that they've decided to do it now, right, 1099 00:58:38,653 --> 00:58:42,573 Speaker 2: And I get it, making news, especially video news, is 1100 00:58:42,853 --> 00:58:46,813 Speaker 2: super super expensive. But what's your sense as a news 1101 00:58:46,933 --> 00:58:49,253 Speaker 2: junkie and a tech junkie. Do you reckon this is 1102 00:58:49,333 --> 00:58:49,773 Speaker 2: going to work? 1103 00:58:51,333 --> 00:58:54,573 Speaker 19: I mean, they have to do something right. It worked 1104 00:58:54,613 --> 00:58:56,093 Speaker 19: for The Times, but it worked. 1105 00:58:55,853 --> 00:58:56,413 Speaker 11: For the Time. 1106 00:58:56,733 --> 00:58:59,173 Speaker 18: Very different though, because The Times has gone into a 1107 00:58:59,213 --> 00:59:02,413 Speaker 18: whole lot of other categories that you can subscribe to cooking. 1108 00:59:02,213 --> 00:59:06,213 Speaker 2: Like yeah, recipes, yeah, wordle and all games yeah yeah yeah. 1109 00:59:06,533 --> 00:59:10,533 Speaker 18: Seeing's really tricky and especially just before an election, they 1110 00:59:10,693 --> 00:59:13,773 Speaker 18: say that they are going to give you additional perks 1111 00:59:13,813 --> 00:59:16,573 Speaker 18: if you're one of the subscribers, to get access to 1112 00:59:16,693 --> 00:59:19,813 Speaker 18: things that other people might not. C and M's biggest 1113 00:59:19,933 --> 00:59:22,333 Speaker 18: challenge is people turn to see him. When there's big 1114 00:59:22,493 --> 00:59:25,813 Speaker 18: stories going on, people stem tend to stick with the 1115 00:59:25,933 --> 00:59:28,653 Speaker 18: times day in and day out. That's the challenge. 1116 00:59:30,093 --> 00:59:31,693 Speaker 19: But they've got the guy for the job. If he's 1117 00:59:31,733 --> 00:59:33,693 Speaker 19: done it once, that's true, that's true, says maybe he 1118 00:59:33,773 --> 00:59:34,293 Speaker 19: can do it again. 1119 00:59:34,333 --> 00:59:35,853 Speaker 2: It's going to be very interesting to see how that 1120 00:59:35,973 --> 00:59:38,813 Speaker 2: works out. Thanks Paul. That's our Textbert Paul Stenhouse before 1121 00:59:38,853 --> 00:59:41,453 Speaker 2: eleven o'clock when the garden rude climb past has the 1122 00:59:41,533 --> 00:59:43,933 Speaker 2: things you need to get in the ground now, your tomatoes, 1123 00:59:44,013 --> 00:59:47,013 Speaker 2: your spuds ahead of the spring and summer ahead.

Lisa, Yes, but. 1134 01:00:15,093 --> 01:00:18,773 Speaker 3: You're reason resceptible with money jack. So it's really interesting 1135 01:00:18,853 --> 01:00:22,413 Speaker 3: because when you look at the steps around the people 1136 01:00:22,453 --> 01:00:24,653 Speaker 3: that win lotto, for instance, and how many have still 1137 01:00:24,653 --> 01:00:27,493 Speaker 3: got their money years later, it's actually quite standing. A 1138 01:00:27,493 --> 01:00:29,493 Speaker 3: lot of people lose it because they don't I can't 1139 01:00:29,533 --> 01:00:31,653 Speaker 3: really understand what to do with it in the relationship 1140 01:00:31,653 --> 01:00:34,293 Speaker 3: between how much money they've got and what the spin 1141 01:00:34,373 --> 01:00:37,613 Speaker 3: then actually means. So you know, I think that your 1142 01:00:37,653 --> 01:00:41,573 Speaker 3: best advice is to subviosly take a brief celebrate, don't 1143 01:00:41,853 --> 01:00:43,573 Speaker 3: you carried away? And then you know the next step 1144 01:00:43,693 --> 01:00:45,053 Speaker 3: is going to get some professional advice. 1145 01:00:45,373 --> 01:00:48,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And what would you advise someone who had 1146 01:00:48,853 --> 01:00:51,173 Speaker 2: come into a significant whinfo all come into sudden money? 1147 01:00:51,213 --> 01:00:53,573 Speaker 2: What would you advise them to do once they had 1148 01:00:53,573 --> 01:00:55,733 Speaker 2: a little bit of a moment, How should they assess 1149 01:00:56,173 --> 01:00:57,693 Speaker 2: what decisions to make going forward? 1150 01:00:58,333 --> 01:00:58,493 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1151 01:00:58,613 --> 01:01:01,253 Speaker 3: So I think you know, absolutely go on to assertiably 1152 01:01:01,293 --> 01:01:03,573 Speaker 3: qualify financial advisor. I can give you some guidance and 1153 01:01:03,693 --> 01:01:06,733 Speaker 3: some of you can respect and connect them. Otherwise you 1154 01:01:06,813 --> 01:01:08,413 Speaker 3: might kind of not listen to them and dismiss the 1155 01:01:08,453 --> 01:01:11,173 Speaker 3: mind it forgive you. And then it's about thinking about 1156 01:01:11,213 --> 01:01:14,173 Speaker 3: your current financial position and your current life and then 1157 01:01:14,253 --> 01:01:17,253 Speaker 3: go what would you actually like to achieve and what 1158 01:01:17,453 --> 01:01:19,533 Speaker 3: do you think would be the best use of your 1159 01:01:19,613 --> 01:01:21,613 Speaker 3: wom for And then you can go to you know, 1160 01:01:21,893 --> 01:01:23,973 Speaker 3: to a professional and go, okay, this is what I think. 1161 01:01:24,493 --> 01:01:26,213 Speaker 3: What are the best options that are. 1162 01:01:26,133 --> 01:01:26,893 Speaker 10: Available to me? 1163 01:01:27,013 --> 01:01:28,653 Speaker 3: Because we don't know what we don't know, right, And 1164 01:01:28,693 --> 01:01:31,133 Speaker 3: there's often lots of options, and some of them have 1165 01:01:31,253 --> 01:01:33,813 Speaker 3: fishalos and some of them relate to better to your 1166 01:01:33,893 --> 01:01:37,453 Speaker 3: persons circumstances and bolves than what they would to someone else's. 1167 01:01:37,653 --> 01:01:40,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I can imagine, I can imagine there is 1168 01:01:40,453 --> 01:01:42,133 Speaker 2: a bit of a risk in going two ways. Right, 1169 01:01:42,173 --> 01:01:44,533 Speaker 2: So you hear about those horror stories you hear about 1170 01:01:44,853 --> 01:01:47,493 Speaker 2: someone who won millions of dollars or the classic ones, 1171 01:01:47,493 --> 01:01:50,093 Speaker 2: a professional athlete, right who gets he heads of money 1172 01:01:50,133 --> 01:01:53,093 Speaker 2: and then years later is somehow you know, Boris Becker 1173 01:01:53,213 --> 01:01:56,893 Speaker 2: or something is in some dire financial situation. But then 1174 01:01:56,973 --> 01:01:59,933 Speaker 2: I suppose there's also a risk that people who aren't 1175 01:02:00,013 --> 01:02:03,653 Speaker 2: used to having money are so conservative that actually they 1176 01:02:03,773 --> 01:02:06,693 Speaker 2: miss out on some of the opportunities that having that 1177 01:02:06,773 --> 01:02:08,213 Speaker 2: windfull might provide them. 1178 01:02:09,093 --> 01:02:12,133 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, I mean it's a huge risk, and you 1179 01:02:12,213 --> 01:02:12,533 Speaker 3: know you do. 1180 01:02:13,093 --> 01:02:13,893 Speaker 10: There's a clasic. 1181 01:02:13,693 --> 01:02:16,373 Speaker 3: Example about professional skills and also to a lot of 1182 01:02:16,373 --> 01:02:18,813 Speaker 3: professional sports it as an example, are quite young, so 1183 01:02:18,933 --> 01:02:21,333 Speaker 3: they they don't really have a lot of life experience. 1184 01:02:21,413 --> 01:02:24,093 Speaker 3: But it comes back to having a financial advisor that 1185 01:02:24,173 --> 01:02:27,093 Speaker 3: you can actually that you like and respect because they 1186 01:02:27,173 --> 01:02:29,933 Speaker 3: can actually be your guide through this journey and how 1187 01:02:30,013 --> 01:02:33,773 Speaker 3: you manage your money effectively and hopefully stop you from 1188 01:02:33,813 --> 01:02:35,453 Speaker 3: doing dumblings, which is what a lot of people do 1189 01:02:35,533 --> 01:02:38,053 Speaker 3: when they get some winnfle And I think the other 1190 01:02:38,173 --> 01:02:39,893 Speaker 3: challenge too is a lot of people who come knocking 1191 01:02:39,933 --> 01:02:41,853 Speaker 3: on the door. Your friends and family suddenly become your 1192 01:02:41,893 --> 01:02:45,853 Speaker 3: best friends and either want payouts or try to give 1193 01:02:45,893 --> 01:02:50,333 Speaker 3: you advice on their very limited knowledge as they actually have, 1194 01:02:50,493 --> 01:02:51,693 Speaker 3: and they continue down the garden. 1195 01:02:51,733 --> 01:02:53,853 Speaker 2: So what would you tell people to do then? If someone, 1196 01:02:54,013 --> 01:02:57,453 Speaker 2: if someone secretly came into or it wasn't publicized, came 1197 01:02:57,493 --> 01:03:00,093 Speaker 2: into a large sum of money, would you tell them 1198 01:03:00,333 --> 01:03:01,093 Speaker 2: not to tell anyone? 1199 01:03:03,173 --> 01:03:06,013 Speaker 3: I think I would tell them to be careful about 1200 01:03:06,413 --> 01:03:11,613 Speaker 3: who they told and about how they displayed their wealth. Yes, right, 1201 01:03:11,813 --> 01:03:14,053 Speaker 3: because auditioning it out and having been parties and all 1202 01:03:14,053 --> 01:03:15,453 Speaker 3: the rest of it comes might go on which they're 1203 01:03:15,453 --> 01:03:17,893 Speaker 3: pretty free with it and come knocking. So I think 1204 01:03:17,933 --> 01:03:20,933 Speaker 3: it comes back to being sensible. It's such an amazing 1205 01:03:21,013 --> 01:03:23,613 Speaker 3: opportunity when you do get at the sun windful that 1206 01:03:23,733 --> 01:03:25,573 Speaker 3: you want to be smart with how you use it, 1207 01:03:25,893 --> 01:03:28,493 Speaker 3: and like if you invest it, why wisely you might 1208 01:03:28,533 --> 01:03:31,213 Speaker 3: pay off a mortgage, you might have a great overseas holiday. 1209 01:03:31,453 --> 01:03:33,333 Speaker 3: And then if you invest at Winsley, then you've got 1210 01:03:33,413 --> 01:03:36,213 Speaker 3: money for the rest of your life and the potentially 1211 01:03:36,253 --> 01:03:38,773 Speaker 3: can grow and help more people rather than just giving 1212 01:03:38,773 --> 01:03:39,813 Speaker 3: it away straight away. 1213 01:03:41,053 --> 01:03:41,893 Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, you go. 1214 01:03:42,613 --> 01:03:44,293 Speaker 3: I was just going to say, you know, often the 1215 01:03:44,453 --> 01:03:47,293 Speaker 3: challenges is that when you haven't earned it and done 1216 01:03:47,333 --> 01:03:50,293 Speaker 3: the hard yards, often people can be quite free with. 1217 01:03:50,373 --> 01:03:54,253 Speaker 2: Money, right okay, Yeah, and there'd be much more loosey 1218 01:03:54,333 --> 01:03:57,573 Speaker 2: goosey than they would have been if they'd been paying 1219 01:03:57,653 --> 01:03:59,533 Speaker 2: tax on their earnings for forty years to get to 1220 01:03:59,573 --> 01:04:02,173 Speaker 2: that position, yeah, and grasping. 1221 01:04:01,773 --> 01:04:03,733 Speaker 7: It out because then they know the value of that. 1222 01:04:03,813 --> 01:04:06,093 Speaker 3: Whereas when you could get this large sum of money 1223 01:04:06,413 --> 01:04:09,013 Speaker 3: getting between when you're young and you go great, you know, yeah, 1224 01:04:10,093 --> 01:04:13,693 Speaker 3: first class travel around the world. And it also is 1225 01:04:13,813 --> 01:04:16,533 Speaker 3: around the context of how much you were the ones 1226 01:04:16,613 --> 01:04:19,173 Speaker 3: all right, if it's five hundred thousand, that's one because 1227 01:04:19,213 --> 01:04:20,453 Speaker 3: that might be enough to play off you more, which 1228 01:04:20,453 --> 01:04:23,413 Speaker 3: if you live in all plats right where if it's 1229 01:04:23,533 --> 01:04:26,853 Speaker 3: five million, that's different, that's different context around it. So 1230 01:04:27,173 --> 01:04:29,733 Speaker 3: it all comes down to the amount where you are 1231 01:04:29,853 --> 01:04:31,893 Speaker 3: now what you want to do, and you've just been 1232 01:04:32,333 --> 01:04:35,053 Speaker 3: taking a breath and getting some good advice and you're 1233 01:04:35,053 --> 01:04:35,893 Speaker 3: not doing dumb stuff. 1234 01:04:36,173 --> 01:04:37,493 Speaker 2: That's really really good advice. 1235 01:04:37,613 --> 01:04:37,693 Speaker 14: Lee. 1236 01:04:37,773 --> 01:04:39,733 Speaker 2: So I think what we will do is just because 1237 01:04:39,773 --> 01:04:41,693 Speaker 2: I know listeners will be really interested in this, if 1238 01:04:41,693 --> 01:04:43,973 Speaker 2: there's anyone out there right now who would like to 1239 01:04:44,293 --> 01:04:46,293 Speaker 2: invest in me so that we can get a real 1240 01:04:46,373 --> 01:04:48,773 Speaker 2: life kind of example of how this might work.

Hey, So, so the 1281 01:06:25,573 --> 01:06:28,893 Speaker 2: latest tranch of census data has been released this week 1282 01:06:28,933 --> 01:06:31,573 Speaker 2: and there were some really interesting numbers. Heaps of different 1283 01:06:31,653 --> 01:06:34,093 Speaker 2: subjects covered, but there was a lot of data on 1284 01:06:34,213 --> 01:06:37,173 Speaker 2: how we are working, and so one in six New Zealanders, 1285 01:06:37,173 --> 01:06:40,333 Speaker 2: according to the latest data, are now working from home. 1286 01:06:40,693 --> 01:06:43,213 Speaker 2: But the number of people working from home most of 1287 01:06:43,333 --> 01:06:47,493 Speaker 2: the time has increased almost sixty percent between twenty eighteen 1288 01:06:47,853 --> 01:06:51,173 Speaker 2: and twenty twenty three. That just shows you, what, you know, 1289 01:06:51,253 --> 01:06:53,653 Speaker 2: what the pandemic has done for the way in which 1290 01:06:53,733 --> 01:06:56,733 Speaker 2: we work.

But 1294 01:07:07,813 --> 01:07:11,173 Speaker 12: it's interesting because the history of working from home like 1295 01:07:11,373 --> 01:07:14,453 Speaker 12: takes back way before COVID. I like to think it 1296 01:07:14,533 --> 01:07:17,133 Speaker 12: was kind of the best kept secret prior to COVID. Yeah, 1297 01:07:17,213 --> 01:07:19,773 Speaker 12: and then people discovered it and went, well, look at 1298 01:07:19,813 --> 01:07:20,533 Speaker 12: this crazy thing. 1299 01:07:20,693 --> 01:07:22,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, and me. 1300 01:07:22,693 --> 01:07:24,893 Speaker 12: Included like, I'd never done it before and it was 1301 01:07:25,413 --> 01:07:28,853 Speaker 12: a little tricky, but yeah, over COVID and it's just yeah, 1302 01:07:28,893 --> 01:07:30,653 Speaker 12: and it's just so, So it doesn't surprise me that 1303 01:07:30,813 --> 01:07:34,373 Speaker 12: that those that number is really about the number of 1304 01:07:34,373 --> 01:07:37,213 Speaker 12: people doing it. Yeah, And look, I think it's a 1305 01:07:37,253 --> 01:07:40,573 Speaker 12: good thing, not working from home full time. But i'd 1306 01:07:40,653 --> 01:07:44,333 Speaker 12: staatenly claim on saying that hybrid working is the best 1307 01:07:44,413 --> 01:07:47,373 Speaker 12: for people's well being and the best for people's productivity. 1308 01:07:47,573 --> 01:07:50,813 Speaker 2: Well, I've said before that for me personally, a hybrid 1309 01:07:50,853 --> 01:07:52,813 Speaker 2: model works really well. I like being in the office. 1310 01:07:52,853 --> 01:07:55,373 Speaker 2: I really love engaging with people, but I also love 1311 01:07:55,533 --> 01:07:57,373 Speaker 2: being able to If I've got to focus on something 1312 01:07:57,413 --> 01:07:59,373 Speaker 2: where I need to read a lot and I need 1313 01:07:59,453 --> 01:08:02,453 Speaker 2: to be on detail, I need to not be interrupted 1314 01:08:02,493 --> 01:08:04,733 Speaker 2: every two minutes, then working from home is fantastic. So 1315 01:08:04,773 --> 01:08:06,773 Speaker 2: I try and do it one day, one day week 1316 01:08:06,813 --> 01:08:09,733 Speaker 2: I can, if I can, so talk to us about 1317 01:08:09,733 --> 01:08:13,093 Speaker 2: that change, because you know that, like you say, working 1318 01:08:13,133 --> 01:08:17,493 Speaker 2: from home has become more common after COVID, but research 1319 01:08:18,053 --> 01:08:20,773 Speaker 2: in this space has been underway for decades. 1320 01:08:21,653 --> 01:08:24,373 Speaker 12: Yeah, it has been. I mean it really kicked off 1321 01:08:24,413 --> 01:08:27,053 Speaker 12: obviously after COVID and during COVID because so many of 1322 01:08:27,133 --> 01:08:29,933 Speaker 12: us started doing it. But people that have been researching 1323 01:08:29,973 --> 01:08:32,413 Speaker 12: this area for twenty years or so, and then there 1324 01:08:32,493 --> 01:08:34,813 Speaker 12: has been some really good New Zealand research too. Like 1325 01:08:34,893 --> 01:08:36,693 Speaker 12: you know, often we go, oh, well that's overseas, it 1326 01:08:36,733 --> 01:08:40,213 Speaker 12: won't work here. But Jared harr Out of Massy Uni, yeah, 1327 01:08:40,773 --> 01:08:43,933 Speaker 12: has consistently studied us for about the last four years, 1328 01:08:44,293 --> 01:08:47,093 Speaker 12: and all the research really points to that mix. As 1329 01:08:47,133 --> 01:08:50,053 Speaker 12: you noted, really that hybrid model, you know, one two 1330 01:08:50,293 --> 01:08:52,373 Speaker 12: three days maybe at home and the other you know 1331 01:08:52,653 --> 01:08:56,053 Speaker 12: two three days at work is really the best model 1332 01:08:56,093 --> 01:08:59,053 Speaker 12: you get that you get that that lovely mix of 1333 01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:04,693 Speaker 12: still socially interacting and team involvement and collaboration, but also 1334 01:09:04,853 --> 01:09:08,533 Speaker 12: the opportunity to have some more focused time. But also 1335 01:09:08,613 --> 01:09:10,693 Speaker 12: people talk about the work life balance, you know, when 1336 01:09:10,773 --> 01:09:13,293 Speaker 12: you're at home, Like this is for me personally. I 1337 01:09:13,413 --> 01:09:16,373 Speaker 12: work from home maybe two days a week, two or three, 1338 01:09:16,533 --> 01:09:19,333 Speaker 12: and when I'm at home, I just feel like I 1339 01:09:19,453 --> 01:09:22,493 Speaker 12: just feel more relaxed. I get a lot. To be honest, 1340 01:09:22,493 --> 01:09:24,133 Speaker 12: I probably get more work done when I'm at home 1341 01:09:24,213 --> 01:09:27,453 Speaker 12: than I do at work. Comes really more productive, even 1342 01:09:27,493 --> 01:09:29,133 Speaker 12: though I am getting up and doing the washing and 1343 01:09:29,253 --> 01:09:31,253 Speaker 12: taking the dogs for the walk and all that kind 1344 01:09:31,253 --> 01:09:36,733 Speaker 12: of thing. Yeah, but it's way more effective than either 1345 01:09:36,853 --> 01:09:38,973 Speaker 12: one hundred percent at home or one hundred percent in 1346 01:09:39,013 --> 01:09:39,373 Speaker 12: the office. 1347 01:09:39,413 --> 01:09:41,373 Speaker 2: We'll talk to us about those options. So what are 1348 01:09:41,413 --> 01:09:44,933 Speaker 2: the disadvantages for working from home one hundred percent of 1349 01:09:44,973 --> 01:09:45,213 Speaker 2: the time. 1350 01:09:46,653 --> 01:09:50,893 Speaker 12: Yeah, the disadvantage of that is that those people tend 1351 01:09:50,973 --> 01:09:57,053 Speaker 12: to report more isolation, you know, lower mood, which is 1352 01:09:57,093 --> 01:10:01,693 Speaker 12: probably collected to the isolation and the potential to overwork 1353 01:10:01,813 --> 01:10:06,853 Speaker 12: and burn out. And that's possibly because lots of us 1354 01:10:06,933 --> 01:10:09,253 Speaker 12: when we work at home, you know, you tend to 1355 01:10:09,373 --> 01:10:12,293 Speaker 12: start earlier in the morning because you don't have to 1356 01:10:12,333 --> 01:10:14,213 Speaker 12: do a commute ye and then you tend to go 1357 01:10:14,453 --> 01:10:18,133 Speaker 12: later into the evening because there isn't that there aren't 1358 01:10:18,173 --> 01:10:20,773 Speaker 12: no social cues around you to say, okay, it's the 1359 01:10:20,933 --> 01:10:22,413 Speaker 12: end of the day and you just woh, I'll just 1360 01:10:22,493 --> 01:10:24,053 Speaker 12: do this a little bit more and all of that's 1361 01:10:24,093 --> 01:10:25,693 Speaker 12: six thirty and you think, gee, I should have finished 1362 01:10:25,693 --> 01:10:28,853 Speaker 12: about half an hour ago. So that's that's the working 1363 01:10:28,933 --> 01:10:31,373 Speaker 12: from home full time, and the working from the office 1364 01:10:31,413 --> 01:10:35,813 Speaker 12: full time isn't in terms of productivity, we just lose 1365 01:10:35,893 --> 01:10:40,173 Speaker 12: productivity when we're in the office full time. You know, 1366 01:10:40,453 --> 01:10:43,173 Speaker 12: we get interrupted, we go out for coffee, you know, 1367 01:10:43,293 --> 01:10:47,693 Speaker 12: we have those water cooler chat and those things are important. 1368 01:10:47,933 --> 01:10:49,853 Speaker 12: I'm not trying to say that those are a waste 1369 01:10:49,893 --> 01:10:52,693 Speaker 12: of time. They are important, but if you do them 1370 01:10:52,773 --> 01:10:55,693 Speaker 12: too much, you end up not being super productive because 1371 01:10:56,053 --> 01:10:58,693 Speaker 12: there's lots of interruptions and you stop, start and all 1372 01:10:58,733 --> 01:11:01,973 Speaker 12: those sorts of things. So yeah, one hundred percent either 1373 01:11:02,013 --> 01:11:04,253 Speaker 12: way is not great that but that it's the Goldilock 1374 01:11:04,333 --> 01:11:06,693 Speaker 12: so principle. I guess it's that right sweet spot in 1375 01:11:06,733 --> 01:11:07,093 Speaker 12: the middle. 1376 01:11:07,373 --> 01:11:09,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally. I mean, like I said, works for me. 1377 01:11:09,933 --> 01:11:12,333 Speaker 2: So if there, if you were to be critical, is 1378 01:11:12,413 --> 01:11:15,933 Speaker 2: there any disadvantage to the Goldilocks model, any disadvantage to 1379 01:11:16,053 --> 01:11:17,293 Speaker 2: the to the hybrid model. 1380 01:11:20,413 --> 01:11:23,853 Speaker 12: Possibly not for the people though who are able to 1381 01:11:23,933 --> 01:11:27,373 Speaker 12: do it. A disadvantage is that some people can't work 1382 01:11:27,453 --> 01:11:30,853 Speaker 12: from home. Their jobs don't allow us. Yeah, you know, 1383 01:11:31,053 --> 01:11:34,173 Speaker 12: if you're a tradee it's kind of difficult. It's kind 1384 01:11:34,173 --> 01:11:36,613 Speaker 12: of difficult to be a plumber and work from home 1385 01:11:36,693 --> 01:11:41,013 Speaker 12: on somebody else's plumbing. And it can have the potential 1386 01:11:41,133 --> 01:11:43,373 Speaker 12: even within a workplace, like if some people in a 1387 01:11:43,453 --> 01:11:45,973 Speaker 12: workplace can work from home and some can't, it can 1388 01:11:46,133 --> 01:11:49,173 Speaker 12: have the sense of almost two classes of workers and 1389 01:11:49,373 --> 01:11:51,293 Speaker 12: one who are sort of well, we can work from home, 1390 01:11:51,333 --> 01:11:54,053 Speaker 12: and the others who can't and that can create a 1391 01:11:54,093 --> 01:11:56,973 Speaker 12: bit of division. I think there are probably clever ways 1392 01:11:57,013 --> 01:11:59,093 Speaker 12: around that, but I think that is that is a 1393 01:11:59,133 --> 01:12:02,173 Speaker 12: bit of a downside. Are those are those people that 1394 01:12:02,253 --> 01:12:03,733 Speaker 12: don't have the opportunity to do that? 1395 01:12:04,013 --> 01:12:07,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, well said Hey, thanks Dogle. That is Google Sutherland, 1396 01:12:08,373 --> 01:12:10,813 Speaker 2: who is of course with Umbrella Well Being, will put 1397 01:12:10,853 --> 01:12:13,173 Speaker 2: all of his tips there and thoughts. I'm working from 1398 01:12:13,173 --> 01:12:15,573 Speaker 2: home on the news talks he b website. Thanks for feedback. 1399 01:12:15,573 --> 01:12:20,093 Speaker 2: We've had gazillions of messages and texts and emails and 1400 01:12:20,213 --> 01:12:22,453 Speaker 2: everything throughout the morning. So we started the show by 1401 01:12:22,493 --> 01:12:25,533 Speaker 2: talking about Diego Garcia, which is this little atoll in 1402 01:12:25,653 --> 01:12:27,733 Speaker 2: the Indian Ocean. I reckon if you were to draw 1403 01:12:27,813 --> 01:12:31,573 Speaker 2: line that's kind of directly under India, basically halfway across 1404 01:12:31,733 --> 01:12:35,893 Speaker 2: the Indian Ocean between Tanzania and Indonesia. That's where Diego 1405 01:12:35,973 --> 01:12:39,093 Speaker 2: Garcia has got a really mixed history, no indigenous people, 1406 01:12:39,893 --> 01:12:43,573 Speaker 2: but had people who were the descendants of slaves living 1407 01:12:43,613 --> 01:12:46,213 Speaker 2: there for several hundred years. They all got shipped off 1408 01:12:46,253 --> 01:12:48,413 Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties because the UK and the US 1409 01:12:48,493 --> 01:12:53,013 Speaker 2: wanted to build a mega and very secret military base there. 1410 01:12:53,693 --> 01:12:56,053 Speaker 2: In the decades since, I think Only a couple of 1411 01:12:56,133 --> 01:12:58,093 Speaker 2: journalists have ever been able to visit. You're not allowed 1412 01:12:58,093 --> 01:13:00,213 Speaker 2: to go there as a tourist. The only people there 1413 01:13:00,253 --> 01:13:03,133 Speaker 2: are working on the base. And anyway, this week the 1414 01:13:03,293 --> 01:13:06,893 Speaker 2: UK announced that sovereignty for Diego Garcia would be passing 1415 01:13:07,133 --> 01:13:11,853 Speaker 2: back to Mauritius. Mauritius had had a claim on Diego 1416 01:13:11,933 --> 01:13:15,573 Speaker 2: Garcia for many years. It's been the subject of terse negotiations. 1417 01:13:15,933 --> 01:13:18,533 Speaker 2: The military base is going to stay for at least 1418 01:13:18,613 --> 01:13:21,533 Speaker 2: the next one hundred years, but technically Mauritius does have 1419 01:13:21,653 --> 01:13:26,693 Speaker 2: sovereignty over Diego Garcia. Anyway, many of you have flicked 1420 01:13:26,773 --> 01:13:30,373 Speaker 2: us notes about about that this morning. Jack absolutely loved 1421 01:13:30,413 --> 01:13:34,293 Speaker 2: your little editorial this morning. Regarding maps. There is a 1422 01:13:34,333 --> 01:13:38,253 Speaker 2: great little shop in christ Church, tucked anonymously behind two 1423 01:13:38,373 --> 01:13:40,733 Speaker 2: car yards at the western end of Morehouse, have holding 1424 01:13:40,773 --> 01:13:42,573 Speaker 2: on by the tips of its fingers to stay afloat. 1425 01:13:43,613 --> 01:13:47,093 Speaker 2: I suspect it's the map fanatics like you of this world, 1426 01:13:47,213 --> 01:13:50,493 Speaker 2: the armchair travelers and the topography nerds that provide it 1427 01:13:50,533 --> 01:13:54,093 Speaker 2: with economic sustenance. In one of my frequent forays, I 1428 01:13:54,173 --> 01:13:57,693 Speaker 2: discovered the pocket Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Lansky 1429 01:13:58,053 --> 01:14:06,293 Speaker 2: Clipperton Atoll, Floriana, Diego, Garcia, Bouvet, Deception, Tromelion. The lists 1430 01:14:06,453 --> 01:14:09,933 Speaker 2: so goes on this wee gem is subtitled fifty Islands 1431 01:14:09,973 --> 01:14:12,733 Speaker 2: I've not visited and never will. Let the map viewers 1432 01:14:12,813 --> 01:14:16,093 Speaker 2: of the world rejoice, says Ann. That's a great little tip. 1433 01:14:16,173 --> 01:14:20,213 Speaker 2: And I've seen that book, the Pocket Outlass of Remote Islands. Indeed, 1434 01:14:20,293 --> 01:14:23,653 Speaker 2: it is a beautiful little book. And I believe you're 1435 01:14:23,693 --> 01:14:26,453 Speaker 2: talking about map World. I can tell you I've spent 1436 01:14:26,493 --> 01:14:28,373 Speaker 2: a bit of time in map World over the years. 1437 01:14:28,573 --> 01:14:30,813 Speaker 2: Love me some map World. Is map World New Zealand's 1438 01:14:30,813 --> 01:14:35,733 Speaker 2: only dedicated map shop. I think it might be. Would 1439 01:14:35,773 --> 01:14:38,053 Speaker 2: be delighted to be wrong on that, but I think 1440 01:14:38,093 --> 01:14:40,213 Speaker 2: it might be New Zealand's only dedicated map shop. So 1441 01:14:40,333 --> 01:14:42,813 Speaker 2: thank you very much for that. Ninety two ninety two 1442 01:14:42,933 --> 01:14:44,973 Speaker 2: if you want to send us a message and a 1443 01:14:45,053 --> 01:14:47,053 Speaker 2: couple of minutes on news Talks B we are turning 1444 01:14:47,173 --> 01:14:50,013 Speaker 2: our attention to another island. It's another island in the 1445 01:14:50,093 --> 01:14:53,333 Speaker 2: Indian Ocean. It is a little more populated, it is 1446 01:14:53,373 --> 01:14:56,133 Speaker 2: a little more regularly visited. It's maybe a little bit 1447 01:14:56,253 --> 01:14:59,293 Speaker 2: less mysterious, but no less enjoyable to visit. We're looking 1448 01:14:59,333 --> 01:15:02,093 Speaker 2: at Sri Lanka in a couple of minutes. Seventeen past eleven. 1449 01:15:03,093 --> 01:15:07,133 Speaker 1: Travel with Wendy WU Tours unique fully inclusive tours. 1450 01:15:06,853 --> 01:15:07,733 Speaker 4: Around the world. 1451 01:15:08,453 --> 01:15:11,533 Speaker 2: Good news. It isn't just Map World. Great news are 1452 01:15:11,613 --> 01:15:14,533 Speaker 2: the Map and Chart shop in Hamilton as well. There's 1453 01:15:14,533 --> 01:15:16,453 Speaker 2: a dedicated map shop. So New Zealand has at least 1454 01:15:16,493 --> 01:15:19,973 Speaker 2: two dedicated map shops. I know Marke Yardley, our travel correspondent, 1455 01:15:20,013 --> 01:15:21,733 Speaker 2: will have been to Map World a few times over 1456 01:15:21,733 --> 01:15:22,053 Speaker 2: the years. 1457 01:15:22,133 --> 01:15:26,293 Speaker 10: Good morning, definitely, Jack, Yes, good morning. You can beat 1458 01:15:26,333 --> 01:15:26,973 Speaker 10: a good map. 1459 01:15:27,373 --> 01:15:29,133 Speaker 2: You just cannot beat a good map. I just I 1460 01:15:29,333 --> 01:15:31,373 Speaker 2: love it.

Hello there, Jack. So the white 1636 01:25:19,533 --> 01:25:21,613 Speaker 2: ferns have two things around a little bit. I was 1637 01:25:21,653 --> 01:25:23,973 Speaker 2: feeling I was feeling a little bit pessimistic heading into 1638 01:25:23,973 --> 01:25:25,573 Speaker 2: the start of the Woman's Tea twenty World Cup. I 1639 01:25:25,613 --> 01:25:27,173 Speaker 2: know we're only one game deep, so there's no point 1640 01:25:27,213 --> 01:25:29,773 Speaker 2: getting too excited just yet. But a comprehensive victory over 1641 01:25:29,853 --> 01:25:30,813 Speaker 2: India this morning. 1642 01:25:30,893 --> 01:25:33,493 Speaker 21: Yeah, I think pessimism was justified. Ten straight losses in 1643 01:25:33,533 --> 01:25:35,733 Speaker 21: the format against good teams. You know that's not the 1644 01:25:35,813 --> 01:25:37,453 Speaker 21: kind of film you what's going on to doom and 1645 01:25:37,493 --> 01:25:39,853 Speaker 21: gloomy em I don't think you are, no, but I 1646 01:25:39,973 --> 01:25:42,373 Speaker 21: think we can. We can celebrate this. One hundred and 1647 01:25:42,453 --> 01:25:44,853 Speaker 21: sixty for four plays, one hundred and two all out. 1648 01:25:44,933 --> 01:25:49,053 Speaker 21: That's a comprehensive twenty twenty victory led by Sophie Devine 1649 01:25:49,133 --> 01:25:50,933 Speaker 21: with what fifty seven not out of thirty six. And 1650 01:25:50,973 --> 01:25:53,293 Speaker 21: then our pace bowl is Rosebary mayor lea to who 1651 01:25:53,293 --> 01:25:56,333 Speaker 21: who taking the wickets? Really good start. And look if 1652 01:25:56,333 --> 01:25:58,773 Speaker 21: we learned anything from the Men's Tea twenty Cricket World Cup, 1653 01:25:58,813 --> 01:26:00,773 Speaker 21: what was that back in last year. You've got to 1654 01:26:00,773 --> 01:26:03,973 Speaker 21: start these tournaments well otherwise you just don't progress. So 1655 01:26:04,413 --> 01:26:07,453 Speaker 21: that there's two groups of five, only the top two 1656 01:26:07,493 --> 01:26:10,093 Speaker 21: go through to the semis. Australia are in our group, 1657 01:26:10,213 --> 01:26:12,773 Speaker 21: so clearly they're going to be pretty competitive. Beating India 1658 01:26:12,853 --> 01:26:15,893 Speaker 21: this morning. That's an upset India we favorite. I checked 1659 01:26:15,893 --> 01:26:18,013 Speaker 21: the odds last night before I went to bed. India 1660 01:26:18,053 --> 01:26:20,373 Speaker 21: were firm favorite. So its a very good result. 1661 01:26:20,613 --> 01:26:23,693 Speaker 2: Comprehensive victory as well. It was Yeah, it was pretty 1662 01:26:23,733 --> 01:26:25,253 Speaker 2: one sided it to be perfectly honest. So what are 1663 01:26:25,293 --> 01:26:26,533 Speaker 2: you planning for us this afternoon? 1664 01:26:27,093 --> 01:26:29,693 Speaker 21: Well, speaking of cricket, we've got a new Test captain 1665 01:26:29,693 --> 01:26:31,613 Speaker 21: in the men's game, Tom Latham. He's going to lead 1666 01:26:31,653 --> 01:26:33,573 Speaker 21: us off after midday. Keen to chat to him about 1667 01:26:33,653 --> 01:26:36,373 Speaker 21: how this came about, whether there will be any awkwardness 1668 01:26:36,413 --> 01:26:39,773 Speaker 21: around him replacing Tim Soudy, if indeed Tim Southy continues 1669 01:26:39,853 --> 01:26:42,093 Speaker 21: in the Test site, and what his strategy is to 1670 01:26:42,173 --> 01:26:43,053 Speaker 21: take this team forward. 1671 01:26:43,133 --> 01:26:44,653 Speaker 2: And also this afternoon. 1672 01:26:44,813 --> 01:26:47,213 Speaker 21: Cam roy Guard is back on the rugby field two 1673 01:26:47,213 --> 01:26:49,493 Speaker 21: o'clock this afternoon, Well won't be there because he's on 1674 01:26:49,573 --> 01:26:52,893 Speaker 21: the bench, but for Counties against Manawatu six months after surgery. 1675 01:26:53,013 --> 01:26:55,693 Speaker 21: On a ruptured to tell Attendon Cam roy Guard's back. 1676 01:26:55,973 --> 01:26:57,573 Speaker 21: I said, mate, can we chat this afternoon? And he 1677 01:26:57,573 --> 01:26:59,373 Speaker 21: said yeah, I've been out before kickoff, but I'll take 1678 01:26:59,413 --> 01:27:02,573 Speaker 21: the call. So can Royguard after one o'clock on his 1679 01:27:02,693 --> 01:27:06,653 Speaker 21: recovery and hopefully his return if he gets through this afternoon. Okay, 1680 01:27:07,053 --> 01:27:08,733 Speaker 21: then I think he's on the plane on you know, 1681 01:27:08,813 --> 01:27:09,573 Speaker 21: for the Northern tour. 1682 01:27:09,733 --> 01:27:12,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's another thing, this thing, right. They were all going, yeah, 1683 01:27:12,973 --> 01:27:18,413 Speaker 2: you just just just get through today, unscap. How are 1684 01:27:18,453 --> 01:27:20,453 Speaker 2: you feeling about I know you're going to be speaking 1685 01:27:20,453 --> 01:27:22,933 Speaker 2: of Tom Nathan, but how are you feeling about the transition? 1686 01:27:22,973 --> 01:27:24,613 Speaker 2: Because you know, it was really interesting hearing from Mike 1687 01:27:24,613 --> 01:27:26,773 Speaker 2: Heson earlier this week who felt like, actually the Tim 1688 01:27:26,853 --> 01:27:29,693 Speaker 2: Soudy situation this season had not been handled as well 1689 01:27:29,733 --> 01:27:31,733 Speaker 2: as it might have been, and that he felt like 1690 01:27:31,933 --> 01:27:34,733 Speaker 2: maybe a better option would have been to make a 1691 01:27:34,773 --> 01:27:36,333 Speaker 2: transition with the Cat and Sy at the start of 1692 01:27:36,413 --> 01:27:39,653 Speaker 2: the season, you know, as as opposed to a couple 1693 01:27:39,693 --> 01:27:40,253 Speaker 2: of games deep. 1694 01:27:40,813 --> 01:27:43,773 Speaker 21: I agree, but yeah, always, I've always, you know, liked 1695 01:27:43,813 --> 01:27:46,213 Speaker 21: and respected Mike Hessen's views, and I think he's deard right. 1696 01:27:46,253 --> 01:27:49,093 Speaker 21: When you send a team to the sub Continent, you 1697 01:27:49,213 --> 01:27:51,373 Speaker 21: know that you're probably only going to play two pace 1698 01:27:51,453 --> 01:27:54,533 Speaker 21: bowlers in the test matches, and it's got to be 1699 01:27:54,573 --> 01:27:56,813 Speaker 21: your fastest guy and your best guy, and Tim Soudy 1700 01:27:56,933 --> 01:27:58,613 Speaker 21: is neither of those two things at the moment. Matt 1701 01:27:58,653 --> 01:28:02,453 Speaker 21: Henry is his form against Australia in the home summer. 1702 01:28:02,493 --> 01:28:05,333 Speaker 21: What seventeen wickets he got? Then then he doesn't play 1703 01:28:05,373 --> 01:28:08,453 Speaker 21: against Sri Lanka because Tim Soudi's the captain. This kind 1704 01:28:08,453 --> 01:28:11,053 Speaker 21: of had to happen. I think what I hope now, Jack, 1705 01:28:11,173 --> 01:28:14,173 Speaker 21: is that I almost hope that Tim Soudy doesn't go 1706 01:28:14,253 --> 01:28:16,853 Speaker 21: to India, but then freshens up, gets ready in place 1707 01:28:16,933 --> 01:28:19,173 Speaker 21: the three home Test matches against England, which I think 1708 01:28:19,213 --> 01:28:22,653 Speaker 21: he still justifies as place four in a four prong 1709 01:28:22,733 --> 01:28:25,813 Speaker 21: seam attack. And maybe that's a Swan song. Maybe, you know, 1710 01:28:25,973 --> 01:28:29,733 Speaker 21: maybe he's eighteen wickets short of four hundred. You know, 1711 01:28:29,853 --> 01:28:33,493 Speaker 21: he's our second most prolific behind Sir Richard Fresh and Upton. 1712 01:28:33,893 --> 01:28:35,613 Speaker 21: Have a bit of time out and then get ready 1713 01:28:35,613 --> 01:28:38,733 Speaker 21: for home Test matches in seam friendly conditions, try and 1714 01:28:38,773 --> 01:28:40,453 Speaker 21: bring up the four hundred and go out a hero 1715 01:28:40,613 --> 01:28:44,413 Speaker 21: because he's been a tremendous cricketer for US, an absolutely 1716 01:28:44,533 --> 01:28:48,333 Speaker 21: brilliant part of a sustained period of success. Totally agree 1717 01:28:48,413 --> 01:28:49,853 Speaker 21: he deserves to go out on top and I hope 1718 01:28:49,893 --> 01:28:50,133 Speaker 21: he does. 1719 01:28:50,293 --> 01:28:52,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with that very much. Looking forward 1720 01:28:52,453 --> 01:28:55,093 Speaker 2: to the show this afternoon. Thank you. Jason Pine will 1721 01:28:55,133 --> 01:28:57,893 Speaker 2: be behind the Mic right after the midday news.

Hey Catherine, 1731 01:29:23,693 --> 01:29:27,013 Speaker 2: Hey Jack, So tell us about Sally Rooney's Intimezzo. 1732 01:29:27,853 --> 01:29:30,373 Speaker 14: So this follows two brothers, Peter and Ivan, and I've 1733 01:29:30,453 --> 01:29:32,533 Speaker 14: just lost their father who had been battling cancer for 1734 01:29:32,653 --> 01:29:36,253 Speaker 14: many years, and their mother divorced their father years ago, 1735 01:29:36,293 --> 01:29:37,653 Speaker 14: and she's kind of present in the story but not 1736 01:29:37,733 --> 01:29:39,533 Speaker 14: particularly involved in their lives. That she's got a new 1737 01:29:39,613 --> 01:29:42,853 Speaker 14: husband and step children. And Peter's in his early thirties 1738 01:29:42,893 --> 01:29:45,093 Speaker 14: and he's a civil rights lawyer, and he's this very 1739 01:29:45,493 --> 01:29:47,773 Speaker 14: kind of cool presence about him, and he's actually juggling 1740 01:29:47,813 --> 01:29:50,533 Speaker 14: two relationships, one with Sylvia, his first love who he's 1741 01:29:50,533 --> 01:29:53,573 Speaker 14: stayed very close to, and Naomi, who's a college student 1742 01:29:53,573 --> 01:29:56,213 Speaker 14: who's very carefree attitude, and she makes money from her 1743 01:29:56,293 --> 01:29:59,293 Speaker 14: online following. And then is Ivan, and he's in his 1744 01:29:59,413 --> 01:30:02,333 Speaker 14: early thirties, and he was a chess prodigy and after 1745 01:30:02,373 --> 01:30:04,573 Speaker 14: a few years of dealing with his father's illness and 1746 01:30:04,693 --> 01:30:08,253 Speaker 14: struggling to find success again, both in his personal life 1747 01:30:08,293 --> 01:30:10,813 Speaker 14: and professionally, and he's quite socially awkward. He's almost the 1748 01:30:10,933 --> 01:30:13,933 Speaker 14: complete opposite of his older brother. And he's fallen in 1749 01:30:13,973 --> 01:30:16,453 Speaker 14: love with this older woman, Margaret, who's dealing with a divorce, 1750 01:30:16,573 --> 01:30:18,493 Speaker 14: and you know, she's not sure about their less than 1751 01:30:18,533 --> 01:30:23,813 Speaker 14: conventional romance. And the cracks of the story that is 1752 01:30:23,933 --> 01:30:26,373 Speaker 14: revolving around these two brothers and their respective in their 1753 01:30:26,453 --> 01:30:29,093 Speaker 14: lives and their inability to connect with each other after 1754 01:30:29,133 --> 01:30:31,773 Speaker 14: the loss of their father and the grief that it causes. 1755 01:30:31,933 --> 01:30:34,533 Speaker 14: And Peter's playing games with the woman's in his life 1756 01:30:34,613 --> 01:30:37,453 Speaker 14: and Ivan seeking solace and some old friends and chess, 1757 01:30:37,533 --> 01:30:40,253 Speaker 14: and both are in over their heads and they hurt 1758 01:30:40,293 --> 01:30:43,973 Speaker 14: themselves in each other. And the books divided into three parts, 1759 01:30:44,093 --> 01:30:47,253 Speaker 14: and Sally Rooney builds the tension just in in a 1760 01:30:47,933 --> 01:30:52,293 Speaker 14: very intense way. And the third part is the characters 1761 01:30:52,333 --> 01:30:55,173 Speaker 14: and storylines when the first two halves begin to meld together, 1762 01:30:55,573 --> 01:30:58,293 Speaker 14: and Peter's chapters are written in the stream of consciousness 1763 01:30:58,333 --> 01:31:01,453 Speaker 14: style and Ivan's chapters are real contrast to this, and 1764 01:31:01,573 --> 01:31:03,773 Speaker 14: you know, like how his mind works and very structured 1765 01:31:03,813 --> 01:31:07,653 Speaker 14: and methodical. And so we get this story that's also 1766 01:31:07,733 --> 01:31:10,293 Speaker 14: told with the background of social commentary around it as well, 1767 01:31:10,333 --> 01:31:14,293 Speaker 14: about wage labor and housing crisis and monetary power dynamics 1768 01:31:14,373 --> 01:31:18,293 Speaker 14: and religion and discussions about all sorts of different things. 1769 01:31:18,373 --> 01:31:21,573 Speaker 14: And it's beautifully told and very masterly Brittain and yet 1770 01:31:21,573 --> 01:31:23,293 Speaker 14: it's well worth a read. 1771 01:31:23,733 --> 01:31:26,733 Speaker 2: Sounds great, okay, cool.
