Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean the
weekend edition. First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart
and we are looking back at Sunday and Saturday, you
know weekends. So this morning, hospital funding talk about fast tracking,
ass kicking barnacle, scraping the car out of ditching, the
(00:46):
Black Caps and their golden patch of form. The All
Blacks are on a roll of one towards this slam.
Always seems to be a slam no matter who they're playing,
isn't it when they got on and and hegety? Who
is she the most successful of the of the chasers
(01:07):
on the chase? Yes, anyway, we meet here at the
end of the podcast, but at the beginning of the podcasts.
This eleu heist moved believe Jack, I think finds the
whole thing quite entertaining. There is a point, isn't there
when crimes are just so ridiculous that we sort of
like them.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
The garment designed to be seen has become so ubiquitous
we now don't see it even when it's being worn
by thieves in broad daylight, stealing some of the most
valuable jewelry in the world. The Paris police, who had
street cameras trained on the area where the thieves parked
their truck, sheepishly admitted this week that no one paid
(01:51):
any attention to the men on the video feed. Why well,
in their hiver's vests, they just look like a regular
construction crew, said a police spokesperson, and Paris, like most cities,
has heaps of construction. It looks increasingly likely the men
will not get away with their theft, and though clearly
(02:11):
they were organized, this was hardly the perfect crime. They
dropped some of the jewels and left heaps of the
evidence at the scene. They tried to burn the truck,
but the gas tank wouldn't catch. The big question now
is whether or not the jewels are still intact. Still
these thieves have proved one thing for the biggest height,
(02:32):
for the biggest heist at the world's most famous museum
in more than one hundred years, so the biggest heist
since the Mona Lisa was pinched from the louver way
back in nineteen eleven. You only need three things. Number one,
a charge battery for your angle grinder. Number two an
air of confidence and purpose, and number three, most importantly,
(02:57):
a high viz.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I like this theory of Jack, So when high vers
turns to invers ability, there's some sort of Harry Potter
technology being wavn into it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Obviously news talk Z been right.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And another one of these. Now we're doing the thing
that we said we were going to do announcements even
though we were already announced it, it's actually happening. Can
we just sort out exactly how many hospitals we're getting here?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
You were planning three wards, but we found that we
could pay for four. Did you sort of deliberately over
promised so you could under promise so you could over deliver?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
We went through a competitive process to ensure we got
value for money. I think this is the reality. What
we're doing here is we're building these wards differently from
how we would typically build hospitals. These are modular builds
being built off site and then brought to site. So
I think it'd be fair to say we weren't we
had an indication around what level of funding was required,
(04:02):
but we're able to go through a process and get
value for money for the taxpayer who's ultimately making the
investment in these new wards. And it's similar to the
work that we're doing with classrooms, which Erica Stanford is leading,
doing modular builds off site, bringing them to site and
installing them, meaning we can actually build them faster and cheaper,
ensuring that people can get the care that they need
(04:23):
through these new wards sooner, which is fantastic.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Were they always going to be modular or was it
the choice to go modular that enabled the money to
go further as well as that procurement process.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well, ultimately we wanted these to build rapidly. We know
that these hospitals are under a significant amount of pressure Middlemore, Waikatau,
Hawks Bay, Nelson, Willington under significant pressure in their emergency department,
so we needed these built as quickly as possible and
I think that leads to our modular type design and
build being the cheapest and most and quickest way to
(04:58):
be able to deliver these new wards. So the decision,
but this is an opportunity to able to show we
can build things fast and actually get them delivered here
in New Zealand, which means we can get the care
for those patients and Also it supports the frontline clinicians
in those hospitals who have more capacity to be able to
deliver the care that they need.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Right, so we're getting more hospital beds than we thought
we were going to get. So over promise under deliver.
Is that what Tim was trying to say? I don't know.
It's all very confusing, right. So it looks like although
England sort of gave us a bit of a toweling
and the how many T twenties did we gettually get finished?
(05:39):
Just one was it? And they look much better than
us and those it looks like they can't play one
day forget to save themselves. Here's one of our guys
who can play.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
When you've been reviewing the first two matches, has there
been a feeling of positivity and satisfaction that you have
won both of those matches relatively comfortably? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Absolutely. I think as a team we've sort of just
spoken about trying to stick to what we do well
as a group, and that's sort of a todapt into
the conditions that are in front of us. So yeah,
another opportunity today to get out there and try and
adapt on the fly and come up with another good performance.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
When you talk about doing that adapting on the fly,
being flexible, you know, I guess reacting to it to
a match situation. Are there certain guys in the team
and maybe you're one of them who drive that, you know,
that decision making.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Yeah, I think, well it starts with the seam bottler
is generally in New Zealand, so they sort of get
the colms up on what the wicket's doing and what's effective.
And then yeah, I guess the batters get together when
they are out there and the openers sort of seend
messages back around what they think could could be shots
(06:56):
to score off. But that's that's obviously a little bit
more individual. And then yeah, generally if I come on
or Mitch comes on, we're talking to each other about
what balls seemed to be having an effect on the surface,
and yeah, trying to just get that communication around the
group as quickly as possible.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So yeah, Michael Bracewell there probably had a little bit
more to do with the wind over the weekend that
he really want to do that and if he was
before that game, of course, And the reason that I
had that audio in there is that I had to
have put something in there because there was no Francesca
show yesterday morning because them an all Blacks game was
(07:37):
all over the middle of it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
What were the things that worked so well in the
last let's say, the last twenty minutes, from the time
that Tomighty Williams scored that try till the end of
the game where you were still looking to score another
one after the whistle. What did you see that was
so effective and so impressive in that last twenty minutes.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
Oh, I think the stuff that was missing in the
first half, you know, around our skill sets really just
simple things. Your simple parts of the game are in
kerry and and you know some of our skills are
in catch pass. You know, we turned the ball over
in that first half a lot, and we're able to
build pressure and the game was slow because of it.
And then the last half an hour we becked ourselves
and pulled trigger and then you know, nailed all our
(08:17):
little catch pass stuff. So you know, whenever you hold
onto the ball, you're gonna put teams under pressure. I
think we've talked about it before, pointing when we have
or haven't done it. So you know, some really encouraging
signs and the attack and that last half an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, so apparently that went better for the All Blacks
than I was predicting it was going to. I mean,
I say it apparently I didn't see any of that. Actually,
I was busy watching somebody run around the Auckland waterfronting
over the Harbor Bridge and the Aukland Marathon yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
News talk.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Right, let's finish up here with the Chase. This is
a bit like television one because the Chase is always on, That,
isn't it? Well? Why is it?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
What does it say to you that the show is
now so popular you're bringing it down under?
Speaker 9 (09:10):
It's absolutely great. I mean, I've known for some years
that the British show is really popular in New Zealand.
I think it's watched by about two thirds of the
population in any given week, which is fantastic. I believe
that Jacinda Arden even mentioned it to Boris Johnson a
few years ago. You know, our countries have so much
in common. We both love the Chase. And I suspect
(09:32):
that Boris doesn't actually watch the Chase. Who had no
idea what he's on about?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So I could imagine Boris being a fan of the Chase,
or fancying himself as a Chaser, don't you he might do.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I mean, there's a certain demographic in the UK that
is more likely to watch it, and it's not really
Boris's demographic, right, but loads and loads of people you know,
obviously do watch it. We're getting around. We still get
around three million viewers a day here in the UK
at five o'clock in the afternoon, when you know, which
is not about you consider an awful lot of people
(10:07):
are still traveling out from work. So and I've always
you know, as I say, I've known for years how
popular the British show is in New Zealand, so it's
absolutely brilliant. They finally decided to make a keyw version
that's excellent.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So Champion Chaser and Higgery there. Do you know why
I reckon the Chase is so successful is because no
matter how many times you watch it, you're still not
entirely sure how each section works and what the point
of the point of it all is, so you're just
trying to It is the world's most complicated game show,
isn't it.
Speaker 9 (10:35):
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Maybe I just haven't watched it enow, which is surprising because,
as I say, every time you turn on TV one
here it is. I am Glen Hat. Every time you
tune into this podcast, here it is. Does it makes sense? No,
not all. Not everything relates to streaming. Does it transfers over?
I agree, But we'll be back with another one of
(10:58):
these tomorrows.
