Speaker 2 (00:22):
Helloldytopul Beanies, and welcome to the Bean for the weekend.
It's the weekend edition, first of yesterday's news and the
day before obviously, because otherwise it wouldn't be a weekend. Hey,
the A League was exciting over the weekend because there
were two New Zealand teams playing against each other in
it for the first time. Lady Hawk is going to

(00:43):
be performing Lady Hawk the album as Lady Hawk the artist.
I don't think this is as confusing as Jactatum made
it out to be. And then Rick Astley isn't performing,
He's writing a book instead. That is confusing. But before
any of that, nothing could be more confusing than the
US election at the moment, which way is it going

(01:03):
to go?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The problem is that the Polsters don't release their modeling.
So how do you account for Donald Trump's support among
young men? If young men don't usually vote in the
same numbers as other demographics. If people have misled Polsters
in the past by telling them, yeah, they were supporting
Hillary Clinton, or they are supporting Joe Biden when actually

(01:24):
they were voting for Donald Trump. Will they do that
again this year? Or has that sense of embarrassment or
shame or whatever it was with Donald Trump in the past,
Is that a phenomenon that no longer exists Right now?
Carmala Harris is doing worse in the polls than Hillary
Clinton was doing at the stage of the race, worse

(01:45):
than Joe Biden was doing at the same point. But
is there a chance that the polsters have overcorrected in
their models? The election is this Wednesday, New Zealand time,
I reckon it is pretty unlikely that we will have
a definitive result on that day, and it's going to
take time before either Karrmala Harris or Donald Trump is
officially the president elect. But regardless of who wins, I think, sadly,

(02:11):
having traveled around this country, that the American electorate is
going to remain is going to remain bitterly divided.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Ah, I'm quitting misunderstood what was going wrong because I
thought that both candidates have promised that the country would
be completely unified, it would be the dawning of a
brand new era when they got in so Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I believe that's not evening news talk. Zi been Maybe
that was Estay and he's just got a random opinion.
What do the experts think?

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Is there life outside election talk in the USA right now?
Or is that everything everyone's talking about?

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Pretty much? Although we do have college football today, so
it's trying to get a diversion. You're talking about that.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah, What is the energy going on at the moment
leading up to the campaign? Is it getting more and
more intense with rhetoric and final campaign meetings?

Speaker 6 (03:08):
It's getting frantic more than intense. You've got the candidates
making multiple appearances in multiple states each day, exhausting themselves
to try and get the last mile out of the
time left. Both candidates seem to be projecting confidence. Both
campaigns are acting as if they think they're going to win,
and could very well be that their data to tell

(03:31):
them that, and of course one of them will be wrong.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
How's the rhetoric going from each side in terms of
the direction each candidate is taking.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
Well, you know, they remain trying to make a contrast,
which can sometimes be sharp and dark. It's not as
dark as there was a few days ago with Harris
talking about Trump being a fascist, but she does talk
a lot about that. He is somebody who's going to
take office to take care of his enemies, not to
fight for you. And of course Trump is always somebody

(04:03):
who is taking the dark view of his opponent. But
unfortunately in the United States, that is what we have
become used to. So compared to some of the things
we've heard, it's not as not as nasty as it
has been, say, week ago.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's a whole you know, frog in the boiling water thing,
isn't it? It doesn't jump out if you raise the
temperature slowly?

Speaker 6 (04:29):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And am I making any sense? Have I got that
saying completely wrong? There's something to do with water boiling
and you don't feel it until you're actually boiling something
like anyway, should we just lead them to it?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Should?

Speaker 7 (04:44):
Should?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know, when there's a recalciative child, you're just supposed
to ignore them, give them time out to the rest
of the world. Just ignore America and we'll come back
in four years time and see how to going.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
You'se talk, Sidney.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Okay. There was a lot of sport going on again
this weekend, not least of which was the game I
was most interested in, which was actually not the All
Blacks versus England and not the Black Cats versus India,
but Auckland versus Wellington.

Speaker 8 (05:12):
How does that result feel the day after, special mate?

Speaker 7 (05:15):
Honestly, I can't put into words how good it felt,
you know what I mean, Like you talk about a derby,
but you also look at the last two games as well.
You know, we're three from three. Being a new club,
you know, everyone doubted us and we had a plan
coming into into this season and we've executed that so far,
and you know, hopefully we continue to work hard and
the results kept coming.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
I want to talk about yesterday specifically in a moment,
but you alluded to it. There three wins from your
first three games. That's the best ever start buy an
A League club in the first three matches of their existence.
What have been the major reasons for the side's excellent
start of the season.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
Just collectively? I know the Gaha and you know everyone
at the club. We've we've got a motto that we
go together and that's with everything. And you know, I
think that we've got a really good bunch of foreigners,
a bunch of kiwis and a good mix of players
that we all will get along and you know, we
all believe that we can we can achieve some thing
this year, and I think that that goes a long way.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
You came on yesterday with twenty to go. What were
you seeing from the sideline before you entered the action?

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Luck obviously you sit there and you watch, you watch
the game and you look at how everyone's defending, how
to keep his playing, And to be honest with you,
I sort of noticed that he took a bit too
long on the ball and he sort of, you know,
second guessed what he was going to do a lot
of the time. And if you watch the goal back
the first one, I actually anticipated that he'd cut back inside.

(06:39):
And you know, it's a game I have to take
as well, you know, I mean, fat ball goes through,
they probably go up and counter attack us. So it
was it was a chance that I took, and you know,
luckily enough it paid off. And yeah, it was just
unbelievable Auckland.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
If the goalscorer Gate Brimmer there watching the game, I
felt like Auckland deserved the wind. They Yeah, it was
a good manage to watch, actually, and I thought it
looked like it was going to be nil and then yeah,

(07:14):
two late goals, but I thought they Aukman, Now I
sound like I'm into the football.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
What is happening.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
All right, here's Jack Kane.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
You're talking to Lady Hawk because apparently she's gonna be
performing her self titled albums Lady Hawk as Lady Hawk,
even though that's not her real name.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
So exciting to know that you are going to be
playing Lady Hawk as Lady Hawk. So you're going to
be playing your album as Lady Hawk, your first album?
Why why do you want to turn make the Hands
of Time?

Speaker 9 (07:52):
It's been sort of a thing for me I wanted
to do. It's like, first of all, it's an anniversary.
I'm like fifteen years. I don't yeah, yeah, I mean
it feels like two years ago to me. But yeah,
I just thought. I knew I had a few tours
and a few shows coming up this year, and I thought,
why did I do something special and do the first

(08:14):
record front to back. There's a couple of songs on
it that I'd never played live. But really, so yeah,
I just sort of I don't know why I never did,
but yeah, so that's been really nice for me.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
To we did.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Do you have any sense as to wade?

Speaker 9 (08:28):
I don't know. No, some of them I think in
my brain, Like when that first record came out, I
was always like, well, I've got to play just the
upbeat ones, you know, oh yeah, slower ones, no, because
I always thought I have to keep the crowd excited.

Speaker 8 (08:39):
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:40):
Now I'm like, I'm sure they'll enjoy the slower ones.
And actually, now that I play these songs, I'm like,
they're not slow at all.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
So yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's light and shade anyway, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (08:49):
Light.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
When I think back to all the best concerts I've
been to, I think it's theirs thing. I think to myself,
I think, Wow, the light.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
And shade, that's what I like to do about.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's below.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Pete Longtgnery always to talk about light and shade. I
remember we're recording and doing an air. He did a
perfect take were sixty second? I think we're sixty six
Camdal for something kind of in the boat show, don't we.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
I mean, at the end of the taking.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Sid, would you like another one with a bit more
light and shade?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I thought to myself here.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
Let's good to go a PREPETU news talk.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Has it been We're going to stay with music addists.
Although Rick Esley has written.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
A book, You've been asked to write an autobiography before
you turned down the opportunity.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Why now, I.

Speaker 10 (09:41):
Think it's been a few things, to be honest. One
of the things is that I'm fifty eight and I'm
going to start forgetting things. I'm already forgetting most things,
so I'll forget most of my life and career I
think if I carry on more importantly, my mum and
dad both passed away in the last few years, and
I felt I really wanted to be honest because I
wanted to be honest about everything in the book, but

(10:02):
especially about my upbringing because it wasn't particularly an easy upbringing.
I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me, because
I've had a great life, and I think that that
upbringing kind of pushed me to want to do several things,
one of which was have a stable family life. And
I've been with the same woman since nineteen eighty nine
and we have a thirty two year old daughter. So

(10:24):
my two older brothers and my older sister all in
long term relationships. But our mom and dad divorced when
I was about four, and I'm the youngest of the
four kids, and just various things within my childhood I
think pushed me towards one in a career basically on stage,
if you like, if that's what I putting it down to,
because I think I wanted love and attention wherever I

(10:47):
could get it, because I don't feel I got enough
from my mom and dad in a nutshell, And I
don't blame them. They had a very very tough life themselves,
and they had a very terrible experience where they lost
a son before I was born and before the next eldest,
Mic was born, So just dealing with that and other things,
I think it was incredibly tough for them. And obviously

(11:07):
I was brought up in my dad's house, and obviously
that I think is again it was very strange back then.
So there were just a lot of things in my
childhood that pushed me to have this pop career, if
you like. And it's not as simple as that sentence
explains it, but yeah, I just I just wanted to
be really honest and actually delve into it a bit,
you know.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I guess being a ginger. They couldn't have been easy either.
We're not now we I'm just chicking. Are we allowed
to keep making fun of gingers or not? If not?
For did I see anything? I haven't got anything against them.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
I just.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think, really, I've always thought it was funny that
anybody thought there was anything funny of ever, that's that's
the main reason I I actually my beard. That if
I grow a beard and it gets too large, it
used to be quite gingerous, and now it's just white.

(12:06):
I have time to grow up for Christmas.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
They just get to.
