You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said B
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on
iHeartRadio used Talk Said Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Tuesday. The United Kingdom's looking for
a new PM.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So nothing new there really.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It seems just another day in British politics, isn't it.
But is a sign of something more widespread.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Malaise in the system we know as democracy.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe Ardie Savia is captain of the All Blacks, so
it's good news or bad news, we don't care anymore.
And Marcus is passionate about DVD shops he's living in
the But before any of that, a bit of bad
language from Winston Peters with Ryan Bridge yesterday morning. Are
(01:16):
you allowed to say the double your word on an
online broadcast? It's not really a TV show.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So that's sea word in parliament Brooke found Belden in
twenty twenty five and twenty twenty four. Ricardo Menendez March
said the F word in parliament. Sue Bradford in two
thousand and eight said the if off you know that's
pretty full on. Coming back to two thousand and five,
Rod Mark and New Zealand verse said said.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
The bitching.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Oh okay, yeah, that's that's pretty full on.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Chester Burrows in two thousand and thirty said the S word.
Winston Peters back in twenty twelve, when questioning John Key
over whether Key had described David Beckham as thick as
bat said thick as right, Okay, Trivia Mallard said horse.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
In two thousand and sixteen, he's.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So some potty mouth parliamentarians. Twenty two, Michael Woodhouse said
what a load of Ron Mark said lying little in
twenty sixteen. In two thousand and nine, Riley Hyde called
Chester Burrows a bastard. Famously in twenty twenty two, just
ininta Ardurn referred to David Seymour as an arrogant brick.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Remember that there you go?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay, Tay Henry, Tay Henry. He used that very W
word in two thousand and eight, and what happened he
called his former party leader Winston Peter's a w.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's full circle moment right, beautifully put together a piece
of comedy there from Matt Heath, everybody loves a callback.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm pretty sure you can say it the W word,
because it's not even really clear what the W word is.
If you just call it the W word, isn't it anyway,
Let's play.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It safe news talk.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Seth been right, so Sakia Starma, it's called it quits.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Eventually he's not.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
He should have handed in a reasonably long bit of
notice before.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Andy Burnham gets his chance.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
In ten years, they've had Cameron that I've had May,
They've had Johnson, they've had Trust, They've had Sooner remember
that Starma and now shortly Burnham. He'll probably end up
just as loathed and hated as the bloke who went
before him. I don't think this is just a politics thing,
and certainly not just a British thing, although they do
like to winge. We humans are undergoing an evolutionary metamorphosis
(03:52):
into impatient and petulant children, all of us yesterday. Research
has reported that kids can't watch movies these days because
their attention spans are too short and movies are meant
to be fun. Musical albums are a thing of the past.
Even the idea of sitting and listening to an entire
song is foreign to some a few seconds or hooks
(04:13):
of a chorus on TikTok passes as easy listening these days.
Forget reading a book for goodness sakes? Is it any wonder?
The world is chewing through political leaders like this no
tomorrow and consuming more content than the world has ever
in its history, yet somehow end up dumber than beforehand.
You notice that, and the irony of Ai, the Great
(04:36):
Savior of the universe, the technological equivalent of Andy Burnham,
will save us time, will give us more time to
read and to watch movies, and to switch political leaders.
What on earth will we do with it?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All? Man?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That guy existential extremely quickly, didn't the I thought we
were just talking about somebody who was a bit useless
of being prime minister.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But apparently it's basically a sign of the end times.
Qu'es talk side And.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You know what, Ryan wasn't the only one who was
that way by the sounds of it. Apparently, you know,
even though it happens every second week in England that
they get rid of the prime minister, Apparently we're all
fed up and we want something new.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
I mean, you look at kirstarmus a Kiir Starma gone
six Prime ministers in Britain since Brexit, because people don't
like the news that they're getting. They want they want
somebody to tell them it's going to be all right,
and it's not. The world is in a parlor state
(05:44):
and we either have to cut our spending dramatically and
this is the Western world over, or increase taxes or
some other way of revenue getting revenue. It's really difficult,
and so we have to know what we're voting for.
The onus is on us, starting from this election onwards,
(06:06):
to be informed as we possibly can. And democracy from
the Greek rule by the people. Let us put the
demos the people back into democracy.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Nah.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Am I the only one who feels like the sort
of the global i Q has gone down in recent years?
Did we really want to put power in the hands
of the people. If that's the case, I certainly I
feel stupider than ever these days. So yeah, I think
(06:45):
we've dealt with politics. Let's move on to something far
more important. The all Blacks being named. We're getting into
test Rugby just over a week or a week and
a half away now, and Ardie Savier is the man
in charge.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Is he the man you know cometh the hour cometh Aari.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Okay, so let's talk about at Ardie Savier's interview on
Mike Hoskins Show this morning. I think we can all
agree that was awful. As the text pointed out immediately,
that was pretty flat and miserable, Which is weird because
that was Ardie Savier's first big media outing the day
after being announced as captain to the biggest audience in
the country. So you would think if there was an
occasion to sound a little excited and engaging and bring
(07:29):
your a game, that might have been it right there
this morning, especially, I think when you're the captain, and
especially when you're not just employed to play rugby, you're
now employed also to win over the fans or retain
the fans for a game that is under significant pressure
from all the other and arguably more entertaining things that
are out there Rugby league, basketball, Netflix, you name it,
(07:51):
whatever it is that your eyeballs are clapped to instead
of rugby union, he should be trying to win you over.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Now.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
To be fair to Ardie Savia, this is not an
Ardie Savier problem exclusively, right, He is a little bit
like that. His interviews generally are on the Sakkia end
of interviews. But this is much much wider problem. This
is Rugby union problem where it has become acceptable and
maybe even desirable for their players to be monosyllabic and
dull and emotionless just in case, I suspect, just in
(08:17):
case they say something controversial or headline grabbing or mildly
titilating the sport and its New Zealand headquarters. Kind of
need to rethink this this strategy. They need to go
back and have a listen to the text feedback to
the Ardie Savia interview and then they need to ask
themselves if that is the response they want to generate
to their captain the day after he has announced as
the captain. Today we should be talking about Wow, what
(08:40):
an inspirational guy Artie Savi is. Instead we're talking about
how awful his first interview to hundreds of thousands of
listeners was.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I honestly don't care, and I know I work on
that aforementioned breakfast show that the hundreds of thousands of listeners.
I mean, obviously I care that he's not good talent
on the show, because we only want good talent on
the show. But if throw all Blacks win every game
(09:07):
under his leadership, it's cool by me.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
He can be as monosyllabic as.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He liked news talk Zeth been.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We're not all mourning people.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm certainly not a morning person, and I've got to
come in here and do this.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I don't think I've ever.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Lost a podcast. I think I've won most of them.
I've got a pretty good record, and I stand by it.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Does it make any sense?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
No, if you're just being stupid, now you've lost the pot.
And as we get towards the end of the podcast,
next thing you'll be putting in. Random thoughts from Marcus
about DVD shops.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I think when it comes to streaming services that I
was better off going to the video shop once a week.
I thought you'd go get four or five movies once
a week and you watch those. To me, that was
(09:58):
probably cheaper, more convenient, and more satisfactory than a streaming service,
when you might go through twenty different options and you
might find something that's okay to watch, like in a
selling Sunset collectibles type way, but not really that good.
I think we were better off with video shops. I'm
not saying we should go back because you can't or
(10:19):
maybe you can. But we look at this technology has
been the future. I think we're better off the old way,
or the really good way, which was fat so when
they mailed CDs to you, well, CDs what were they
called down? They weren't called CDs, were they what were
they called DVDs? You get DVDs. The mail work perfectly,
just post them back. I think in terms of quality
(10:41):
the shows I watched, it was better doing that than
watching it on all those stream platforms we've got now,
with it be Netflix or whatever. My minutes per day
watching quality movies was better then because you go look
if for something, you'd find it and you watch it.
These days it's Colin compromising. Oh wow, jeepers, creepers, the
(11:05):
kids are gone to bed, no one's around. I'm looking
for something.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh well, I watched that.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Never any good but a DVD. Ear a video. You
go to the shot that whoa into the machine, it goes,
sucks out of your hand. Good, don't good? Donk you
got the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
This is the wonder of Marcus because every.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Time I play something from.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Him, I either agree wholeheartedly with what he says, or
I disagree, couldn't disagree more. It's never just halfway in between.
I could take a leave what he say, and in
this case, I couldn't disagree more.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I know these people who complained.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That there's no minute enough decent stuff on streaming?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How much time do they have at their day? Do
you know what I have time to watch? I have
time to watch one.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Episode of a show during the day that's just for me,
and then at night I have time to watch one
episode that is something that domestic.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Manager and I can agree on watching.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And if there are people out there who've got more
than two hours, so that's two hours. Some things aren't
quite two hours, but around about two hours a day,
and I think that's a lot. I think this sounds
like I've got a lot. I've got two hours of
spare time just to watch Miami's television. Are you seriously
(12:34):
telling me you can't find two hours of something decent
on all the stuff that's available out there? Give I mean,
I guess stuff like sleep.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Is important to me. Obviously, going to work I have
to do that.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Where are you getting more than two hours of spare time?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So jealous of you got me fired up at the
end of the pod. We're like a bad place to
end it. Now, we'll fight up, We'll fight up and
nowhere to go.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I'll put all that energy into that brickfast show I
was talking about and I'll see them one used.
