Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Being the
week In edition. First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart,
and today we're looking back at Sunday Saturday. You really
need at least two days to do a weekend. And
my experience, Pope, he's new, it's not the same one,
it's changed. So we're going to talk about that. We're
(00:47):
going to crack down on boy races, people who's there
before so that it'll be good. And Trump cracks down
on foreign movies. Hate some because you can't read the subtitles,
don't know. But before any of that are the Chiefs
dominating Super Rugby and finally they're actually interviewing somebody about it,
and you know, talking about the actual chiefs and not
about other teams that are doing well.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
What stands out most about the performance last night for you?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, thanks for having me on. You're pretty happy camp
getting on the flight this morning. And I guess in
that second half we won some big moments compared to
the first half where they controlled a lot of the game,
a lot of territory and a lot of positions, so
it was good to flip their second half on its
head and come away with a good victory.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
What sort of conversations were you're having at nineteen three down?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, I guess we just needed to break them down,
but we weren't finding too much go forward on the edges.
So they're a team that saw the field pretty well
and can defend for long sets, so we decided to
have a crack to go through them, and I guess
we got some good powder that and we were pretty
stoked to get there. Tried just before halftime and you know,
(01:59):
put a bit of window in our sALS going into
half time. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, I was going to ask you about that.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Pretty important to close it up to nineteen ten. What
was Sean Stevenson doing though? I thought he was going
to go himself.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, the old leagues are sure couldn't get they're going
to get past Hotham, So I was surprised as well.
I thought he was going to slide on in and
get the guns out, but luckily got the ball away
and money dotted overser. Yeah, that was quite lucky.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
No, mate, that's got nothing to do with it. Lack
is where preparation meets what's the other thing, skills meet.
I wish I could remember what it was. Anyway, did
you notice how you see the thanks for having me
on at the beginning there, like, oh wow, somebody's actually
talking about the chiefs for a change news talk. Let
(02:48):
it go, Let it go, Okay, let's move on to
the pope, the new one, I mean, tell us about.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
The new Pope Jack.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
He is a very lovely person. He's well educated, he's
had great experience. Born in the United States, but spent
quite a long time working as a missionary in Peru,
and in recent years has worked here in the Vatican
and what we call the Congregation for Bishops are responsible
(03:18):
for bishop's appointments and all sorts of things through with
bishops all around the world. He's very calm and measured.
He was very calm when his name kept coming up yesterday.
Everyone was sort of looking at him, and he was
just sitting there with a little smile on his face.
And when he was asked for the accept the election,
(03:42):
he just stood up and said in Latin that he
did accept. And from there on, really he's just as
I say, just been very natural. He greeted the thousands
of people in the square. We had time to greet
him ourselves at one stage yesterday afternoon. So a lovely man,
and I think we'll do a very good job as
(04:04):
totally over fourteenth.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
This is perhaps a funny question, but is it obvious
that people want to be pope?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
No, it's not, and if it was obvious, I don't
think i'd get the votes. There was no one who
was obviously the area of one hundred and thirty three
in the Conclave that you would think actually wanted to
be pope. I'm quite certain of that. Do you know
(04:36):
no one would really look for a role like that
for themselves.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think they say that line in the in the
Conclave movie, and I think I haven't actually watched it,
but I know that they do say it that anybody
here wants to do it should be ruled out immediately.
I think that applies to most elections, isn't it certainly
like local body government? Anybody who actually wants to be
on the council.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Callers didn't me.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Preparation the opportunity. That's really annoying me. I could just
look it up, but it's just so much more satiside
when you figured it out for yourself, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You talk anyway?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
The weird thing about that all this poke stuff, of course,
is that people like me, we couldn't care less and
would be quite happy to ignore the whole thing. But
you know, if you're into popes and things of that nature,
it becomes the center of your universe.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Isn't it. Sometimes I think it takes luck, Sometimes it
takes money. Sometimes it takes an exclusive kind of privilege
that almost none of us will ever have. Take a
papal conclave. There might be one point four billion Catholics
on the planet, but only those cardinals who were in
(05:50):
the room once the doors shut will ever truly know
what it was like to be part of that conclave.
I mean, just being outside and Saint Peter's Square would
have been an incredible experience, the moment that everyone looked
up to the chimney and saw the white smoke crazy,
But then imagine being inside. If you were to divide
(06:13):
the number of Catholics worldwide by every man in that room,
there would be more than ten million Catholics for every
individual cardinal, And yet only those cardinals will know what
it's like to be there in person, to see the
votes tallied, to hear the new pope choose a name.
(06:34):
The world's attention might have been focused on the Vatican
waiting for the smoke, but for this moment, only a
tiny few were their one hundred and thirty three eyewitnesses
to a moment in history.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep, a few dozen old blokes put on dresses and
silly hats and then make smoke come out of a chimney.
Fascinating stuff right now. The racer thing. Remember when everybody
(07:13):
called due to Colin's clash of Colin's and who was
going to stop boy racers? She hasn't. Can we do that?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Please?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
How bad has the problem got? What's your primary motivation?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Well, if you look at if you go back to
twenty thirteen, they were dealing with about fifteen hundred cases
at boy racers or people coming out and sort of
misbehavior on the streets in groups. If you fast forward
to twenty twenty three, it's now over three thousand, so
it's doubled. And I'm aware of the police are running
(07:48):
operations all over the country. We have these boy races
and these dirt bike riders that come out think that
they can harass and terrorize the communities that they're in.
It's obvious that we need to take the police need
to have some better tools, and the courts as well,
and that's why we've part we're going to introduce this
legislation as I.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Mean, look, it's always a bit of this and a
bit of that, But how much of this is a
response to the police saying perhaps, look, we need some
more tools for this rather because we all can see
the problem. But have the police requested this power as well,
or that these.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Contents so that no, So the police didn't come and
directly request that. We obviously saw it, We got feedback
from the communities. We looked at it and could see
that although the legislation was passed originally was full of
good and teen it requires three prosecutions before vehicles are
seized and destroyed.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I've often thought it would be fun if the technology existed,
and it doesn't. But often when I see an idiot
in a stupid car, or even more often here one
racing around doing stupid things, I've thought, how cool would
it be if you had like a magic remote control
(08:58):
and you'd push a button on it and their car
would just immediately turn into a Yarus hybrid and yeah,
that would just be or can they kna something nice
(09:20):
and nannery? Anyway? I was going to say a Masda demo,
but then I think those were among the most stolen
cars a few years back, so somehow they went from
being nannerish to being called news talk has it been?
Let's finish up. It's hard to get through a podcast
(09:41):
these days without talking about Trump unfortunately, which is probably
just the way he wants it. Of course, he had
a random brain explosion last week about movies, so he's
moved on from tariffing actual goods and now things that
are more like services. Really, so that's fun, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
In the UK, when new installments of Marvels, Avengers and
Spider Man are set to shoot in London, the news
was met with disbelief. Succession star Brian Cox called it
an absolute disaster and with a related workforce of around
two hundred thousand, many freelancers could find themselves jobless. New
Zealand could suffer the same fate. Our industry has been
(10:23):
bolstered recently by international productions such as Chief of War
and Minecraft and brad Pits Heart of the beast. We
have an incredible industry here, driven by a world class
crew who rely on these international projects. At the beginning
of the year, Studio Western Auckland completed construction of its
fifth sound stage, and Auckland Film Studios is also adding
new stages so they can all accommodate bigger international projects.
(10:47):
The industry will be holding its breath that it can
find a way to fill this new capacity. New Zealand's
film sector generates around three point five billion annually, with
around one third of revenue generated from the United States. So, yeah,
what Brian Cox said, this could be a disaster, but
we're growing ups, so keep calm and carry on. Seems
(11:08):
to be the public response so far globally, but behind
the scenes there was no doubt at least some mild
panic finding a way to convince Trump there are other
approaches to make Hollywood great again. We'll be at the
forefront of industry leaders' minds right now and let's hope
they do otherwise this story might have a miserable ending.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It is a pity, isn't it that America has such
a large population of consumers, you know, people with the
ability to spend them or and the desire to spend
their money on things like stupid movies, because we all
know that the best way to deal with the bully
is to ignore them completely. And it probably wouldn't take
that long. Ify we just stopped sending their movies to America,
(11:55):
you know, just for a little bit, so they didn't
have any before, you know, they'd have to do something
about Trump, And it's the same with all these things.
Just ah, you're being completely unrealistic with your trade demands,
so we just won't work with you anymore. If somebody
(12:15):
just had the balls to do that for a bit.
But it doesn't work that way. It does it because
in the meantime everybody goes broke and goes out of
business and everybody loses the job, which is annoying. Oh well,
I haven't managed to solve that one. Sorry, But anyway,
that was the weekend on ZIB. We'll be back with
Monday today tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
