You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said, be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Used Talk said, be you Talk said.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean the
Long weekend edition. First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart,
and we are looking back at Sunday, Monday, Saturday, perhaps
not particularly in that order. I don't even know if
I've got audio from all those days. To be honest,
it's been a long time since I did one of these.
(00:43):
It was back on Friday. Now Jack Tamers in New York.
That hasn't stopped them being on the radio kissing your
adult children goodbye, Fran you just go once a word
on that.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Mike King is doing it for the kids as a
high wiggle.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Which color is she find out at the end of
the podcast. But first up are the black Caps. They
were useless and now they're good again.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is that what's happening?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
The only sides to win series in India since two thousand,
South Africa in two thousand, Australia and four England into
twenty twelve are now us. Some of the greatest teams
in history couldn't win in India. Steve War's Australians never
won there, Graham Smith's prote has never won their Viver
Richard's West Indies never won a series in India. We've
been touring there for seventy years, seven oh seventy years
(01:33):
and have won just four Test matches nineteen sixty nine,
nineteen eighty eight and these two. So is this actually
bigger than winning the World Test Championship? Is this the
cricketing everest? Winning a series in the hardest place there
is to do that? And just before we go to
the lines, Mitchell Santner Mitchell Santna thirteen for one hundred
(01:56):
and fifty seven, third best figures ever in Test matches
for New Zealand, third best Test figures ever by anybody
on Indian soil. Mitchell Santner has taken the same number
of ten wickets in the last two days as he
took in ten Test matches across three years between October
twenty sixteen and November twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I could go on. I mean, that is the cool
thing about cricket, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There are just so many stats, so pretty much every
time you play, some record or another is broken. I
guess the only problem is most recently we've been breaking
lots of records for being really bad until just recently,
and we turn that all around again toine so you know, celebrate.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
It well, last news talk z it been right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So Jack Tame is in New York. Will this be
the center of action?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Come next Wednesday our time, Tuesday US time, first Tuesday, November.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Of course, that's right, We're a week away.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
There cannot be a city on the face of this
earth with the greater spread and mix of cultures, ethnicities, languages,
and socioeconomic extremes. The thing that but everyone has in
common is that everyone is different and the result of
that diversity is the greatest concentration of interesting food, music,
(03:18):
and art on the planet. And the other reason I
think it is the great city is public space. Because
almost everyone lives in small spaces, Everything public is always busy,
and every public space is used, and there's a collective experience,
whether people are conscious of it or not. It means
(03:40):
that the tiny, tiny little strip of land on the
corner of Madison in one hundred and tenth Street, just
around the corner from my old apartment, has been converted
into a community garden. It means the benches alongside the
triangle of Green at Broadway in seventy second are always
filled with people just watching the world go by. And
(04:02):
it means here tonight, on a random autumn evening, as
Central parks leaves turn gold and the sun drops below
the west side, there are hundreds of people out enjoying
the moment, socializing, playing, eating, relaxing. It feels vital, It
feels alive. It even feels a little bit magical.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Interesting, isn't it that? Then twenty four hours later, basically
Medicine Square gardens filled up with thousands of people to
bay in support of racist rhetoric from Trump's mega crowd.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Interesting ques talk side right.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Coincidentally enough, my youngest daughter turned twenty one over the weekend. Meanwhile,
Francesca's son is leaving home, and like.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
His father, I think I struggled with the loss of
my gorgeous young boy when puberty hit. So that stage
when they go from Cudley overly enthusiastic and communicative to
grunters who can't remember why they crossed the room. He's
the parent dealing with the more day to day aspects
of our kids' lives. I grieved for the loss of
(05:14):
my little boy. I knew we'd be back, and he is,
and he's gorgeous and smart and kind and happy young man.
But I wonder whether that grief that mother's experience when
their sons are around thirteen is an opportunity for them
to slowly start preparing to let their boys go at
seventeen eighteen, when he leaves, I am going to miss
(05:34):
him terribly, But I know he is ready to go,
and he needs to go, And I believe our mother's
son relationship will go to a whole new level when
he does.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
So.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yes, I am sentimental about the end of school. I'm
emotional seeing the emotion between mates, the strength of the
friendships he's made, and the realization many are heading off
in different directions next year. But I'm also hugely excited
for him to explore his new found freedom and find
what his future holds. To keep the emotions in check,
this week, I drew on Celia Lashley, author of He'll
(06:07):
Be Okay, Growing Gorde just boys into good men. She
had a bridge of adolescence concept. She believed mothers should
walk onto the bridge, let their son's hand go, sit
on the side and enjoy watching him occasionally engaging in
what is going on if help is needed, and as
hard as that is going to be, that is what
I'm going to try and do.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, she's so worry about every back mine went away
and then they came back. How do you get them
to stay away?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It's a secret.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
When they move out, you leave the country. So leave
the country and don't tell them where you've gone.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That might be a secret.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And speaking of kids, I think Mike King's gumboot thing.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Is it all about the kids this time? Is that
what he's saying?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Tell us what have you been doing on that bike?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Because it's not just a story about man loser's bike,
is it.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
No? So I've been riding an UPco two by two
electric motorbike from Auckland to Capriano, down the west coast
to Bluff and I'm heading home up the east coast.
I'm currently in tod I'm not raising awareness of the
impact of climate change is having on young people's mental health.
(07:21):
We did a research paper after kids were raising it
with me in schools, and the research came back and
said that sixty percent of young people list the climate
as their number one anxiety so it's that I was
going to do something about it. I'm a boomer. I
didn't really care about the environment, and more importantly, I
(07:48):
was I was one of those people that couldn't stand
environmentalists because they would always point the finger of us
boomers and go to your vault. It's your vault, and
I made it personal. Yeah, actually, what now, that's about
the kid?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh, it's quite related to hear it was an ABSO
electric bike. It's an electric motorbike. Really those things because
if he's if he's wearing the gun boots while he's
riding it. You don't want to be peddling a pedal
like that because your contact with your pedals is a
bit remote in it because of the refectorate on the
gun boots, could have could have been a disaster much.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm much believed to hear it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
With an ABDO news talk.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Has it been right?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's a bit difficult to keep track of the Wiggles
and exactly who they are these days. They're starting to
look a bit like a tribute band because I don't
know that how many of the original ones are still there.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There's new colors.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There seems to be eight of them and then you
can just have they a bit like the Dalai Lama.
Once one dies, you know another one is reincarnated. Is
that what happens? Here's the latest yellow one.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
For people who aren't fully aware of your story, can
you tell us what is involved when it comes to
joining the Wiggles.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Well, all of us have our own separate talents. But
I'm a dancer, so I literally went to dancing like
a dance school my whole life, and I trained up
until year ten. Mid year ten, the Wiggles asked if
I'd like to come on the road as a Wiggly dancer.
I said yes, and then halfway during the tour, they said,
would you like to be a Wiggle?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
That's literally how.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It happened, and it's okay, tell me about the moment
when they asked you to be a wiggle, just like
paint hats the picture here?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Okay, Well, there was actually two different circumstances. We had
a TV show called Fruit Saler TV, which was on
YouTube play. It was a red Wiggle at the time,
and it was really really cool. That was on a
zoom meeting we had all the other the four other Wiggles.
Because we've expanded to h with the four other Wiggles.
John Pierce, the current Purple Wiggle, he was on there
with me as well, and they said, would you guys
(09:50):
like to be part of our new TV series Fruit
Seller TV.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Right, and so like they just say, hey, guys, hope
you're having a good day. Do you want to be
part of the TV show? And you're like, oh my gosh,
or like do they build up? Do they say We've
been really impressed with you guys, your professionalism, your talents,
or do they how do they break it?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Remember, I can't even remember. It was kind of a blow.
I was actually at school when that had happened. I
went into one of the little rooms and I put
my headphones on.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
At school.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Yeah, literally, so it was kind of surreal. I honestly
can't remember most of it, but what was pretty fast
and we kind of all had an inkling something was happening,
but we didn't really know it was that. And I
think even when they told us, we didn't realize.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
We were being Wiggles.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
We just thought we were characters until we got into
the studio and they gave us skivvy's. I got a
red skivvy with the names Hire written on it. Then
I realized, oh my goodness, I'm being a wiggle right now,
which is cool. And then so from there we filmed
that TV series and it was mid lockdown, so I
didn't see anyone for ages. And then I think a
week before we were meant like restrictions were ending, we
(10:53):
were about to go back into the world. They asked
if I could come into the office on a Monday,
and I was like, Oh, I'm going back to dancing
and like my dance school. So I was like, oh,
can I come the next day just so I know
how the rest of my year is going to turn out.
And they said, we really really need you.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
I was like, oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
That's fine, it's not that deep. I'll go. And then
that morning before I went in, they set up a
zoom meeting and they said, so hi, Like that was
where they kind of like said, we've been really loving
having you along the team. Would you like to take
over Emma's role and become the Yellow Wiggle? And that
was a pretty pretty surreal mote.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Personally, I'd be a little bit gattered. I'd want read
it's not yellow. This is not very many people can
make yellow work.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It seems to be a lot of yellow around. When
they had a couple of years ago, everything was green.
Now it seems to be yellow. It's trying to make
us get them to yellow. No, nobody's into yellow, are they.
I am no no offense to hire Wiggle of course,
which she's into yellow.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That's great. It's just that you need a particular what
do they call that, you know, when you compleature metses.
The colors, you know, some people are in the earth homes,
some people were sort of bright blues and reds. I
don't know how many people in your life.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That has been used. It's been the long weekend edition.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
You've lots of fun stuff happened, doesn't it. We'll be
back with more fun stuff that will happen in the
next prey four hours to night.
