Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have two and the studio, one on the way
and one at the christ show. I would say absolutely
not making a scene at all. Good morning, Shirley and Terrence.
More than we all had the privileged pre leisure. What
other another word for honor old yesh yep to be
invited along to Bailey's real estates showing off Pike River

(00:24):
on Wednesday evening at Saint James Theater.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thoughts, Yeah, I was definitely looking forward to it, like,
I mean, yeah, I knew that the movie was going
to be confronting, and it was. I mean, not only
did they lose twenty nine men, they had to put
up with corporate failures and a string of broken promises
like and the fight is still going on today, which

(00:48):
I didn't quite realize. And the thing that I loved
the most about it was there was no real speculation.
There wasn't an attempt to show you what happened in
the mine. I'm glad they didn't do that. It was
more about the fight of the families and those two women,
one lost her husband, one lost her son, and it
was their struggle together to get justice and try and

(01:12):
find somebody accountable.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
And I don't think they've done that yet, have they?
And those two ladies didn't like each other at the start.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
And I think that was the other thing for me.
Like Robin Malcolm, I've always loved her and I loved that.
I can't even think of the other actors. And I
should know. Melanie Lynske, she was rose and two and
a half million for years and years, and I just
loved her. And they were brilliant together, absolutely brilliant. If
you haven't seen it, you need to go and see it.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, And I think that obviously saying that, like about
the two ladies coming together, like tragedy does bring you
together in the end. I have not watched a movie
and honestly like five years, and that was a really
beautiful movie to watch to break my movie sobiity same.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
If I had about ten more hours in the day,
I'd probably spend a bit more time at Saint James
Theatre because it is awesome there and they do such
a wonderful job. But I cried, as you know, are
sitting beside me, and I was always going to cry.
There as a scene in the movie where the big
pipes start playing and it's a very eerie still movie

(02:24):
like It's not necessarily action packed or anything like that,
but I think it just it's almost like I thought
I was going to walk out of the movie theater
and be at Pike River.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, I'm a big, big movie buff, and I mean
just seeing the West Coast on the big screen, like
it is such a beautiful part of the country. And yeah,
I think they did it really really well.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I really did.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
So we've probably got three different perspectives maybe truly. Do
you remember Pike River like exactly how it happened.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Most definitely, it's really vivid in my mind. We were
actually in Australia at the time for my niece's wedding.
I'm putting makeup on the TV's going the Australian breakfast
TV Huge stopped for the news. Twenty nine men are trapped,
not d at that stage, they were trapped in the mine,
and it like stopped the world, it really did.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And then I.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Have to say that there was breaking news of that story.
Kate and William got engaged that day and my very
cynical brother in law walked through the room and said,
only the royal family could trump twenty nine men and
a mine in New Zealand. So I remember it very
very well.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah. See, I was either living in Australia already or
I went quite soon after. So it was definitely for
me like a wee bit of a history lesson as such.
And I do think everybody in New Zealand should see it.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Tarin, Yeah, I remember I was at school. I was
just a little little baby.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
No, but I do remember. I'll still at skill.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
And obviously when you're young you kind of know this devastation,
but I don't think you feel it into your old
enough to understand what actually happened and watching that movie
understanding how it all panned out, a.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Quick recap five how many out of five stars would
you give it in terms of getting wanting other people
to go see it?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Fiveurely yeah, No, five from me as well.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You have tearing and cheery in it for the locker room.
And we're also joined by Tiler. Good morning morning about me.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
No, No, that is life. There is life.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
But this morning I want to know what would you
wait in a queue for it? And this que we're
talking long queues, We're talking like queue.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Of an hour or more. And the reason I ask
this is because now hold on to your hats. You're
not gonna believe this. I got a snapchat.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
From our locker room Lady Kim, who's accessory at the
christ Church Races was uhler boo boo cry hard but
not belonging to her, belonging to her friend Donna, and
Kim was just flabbergasted, which takes a lot that Donald waited,

(05:25):
not not only that's your own one, but she waited
in line for an hour to get it. I won't
tell you what Kim said when I told her to
tell Donna to bring come down and bring a la
boo and our lab booos could ever played it because
the language is not safe for radio. But it got
me thinking, what would I asked Kim, what would it take?
What would it take or who would it take for

(05:46):
you to wait in line? Would it be concert tickets?
Would it be sunny by Williams? And she said nothing
at all, I am not And I.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Was like, wow, I'm one hundred percent sure she would
wait in line for a drink.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I am one hundred percent You're right, Like and hour
was a long time, but she would wait.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I've waited in line for an air for a warm
wine at Gibston Valley. But I tell you what we
did do years ago. You would be waiting in line
at Alan Black Music camp cheers, rugs, flasks and hoties
to get your tickets for the hock Andy Fashion Awards.
And you were there at four o'clock in the morning
at Black Music. Yeah, and then yeah, and that was yeah,

(06:28):
that was probably only fifteen years ago, maybe.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Like I reckon, it's been close for longer.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Than that, Like, and that was what you did, and yeah,
and I love it. God cue you meet people and
your talk and your chat and yeah, I don't mind.
A cue.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Wouldn't have been your idea to take a flask.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, No, I didn't take a flask or a hotty.
I don't think I took a camp cherr either, but
people did you had something else in your flask.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think the longest I've waited in line was that
gassie and it was probably only like half an hour.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Have I told you the story about when I was
young and we went to KFC with dad after the
one mimber Field days. No, we waited a very long time.
We never got KFC at our household. We got to
the front on the line and guess what no run
out of chicken and my dad's he just he something

(07:23):
was flying and it wasn't any chickens, I tell you
that much. B Yeah, so I'm a little bit more
patient than him.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Tyler.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
I feel like as generation kind of missed the you know,
like the good old steak out, like bring your chair,
bring your blanket and rug up because it's just still
online now, isn't it really like part of it I
think should still exist because man, the dedicated fans win,
But there's lots of stuff i'd wait in now for.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's not that long in the green scheme of things.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
No, it probably says more about your patients than anything else.
But also, like we're talking Shirley earlier about like when
you're traveling and you're on a holiday and things like that,
that's sort of as where you learn how impatient you are.
But then at the same time, you don't have anything else,
Like you don't have the everyday life Errand's and Edmund,

(08:10):
so you sort of just smile on your face, talk
to however is standing behind you or whatever. But yeah,
the gen zs are now bringing back this thing where they.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Are being bored.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
So no, you're not a gen Z, Sorry, sister.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, am I millennial? I get so confused. Gen Z
is like sixteen year old. Oh but so.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
They'll just like go home and hang out and do
nothing and they think it's groundbreaking because they're getting old.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Before technology was a thing. Yeah, oh so now you're old,
so now you're proud to be old.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
That does blow my mind though, And like I guess
raising a small human now, like there is such a
thing about letting them be bored, so letting their imagination
do their thing, like knowing that.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
You don't have to be stimulated all the time.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
But it's like movies and things like that, Like how
are we going to keep places like Saint James open
if these younger generations aren't gonna have the what's the
word when you think about you can.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Watch something for imagination?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I was sounding quite smart too until I couldn't remember
something somewhere ads rentals around. But yeah, so it's interesting
and good luck
