Speaker 2 (00:22):
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. That's
how I like my weekends, some combination of those two days.
Marhy Drivesdale had a good weekend. He's now the mayor
of Totonga. The All Black's pretty good weekend for them
(00:44):
as well, with this weird game in San Diego, so
he has that place some ahead of the Rugby Championship.
We've got the Olympics kicking off at the end of
the week. And David Williams I feel like he's almost
a co host on the station. He's on the station
all the time. But that's fine because he's very entertaining.
But before any of that, Yes, the crowd strike outage,
(01:09):
thanks for costing the world billions of dollars. Crowdstroke.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
The outage, of course was caused by this company, crowd Strike.
It's a cybersecurity company which is ironically charged with protecting
its clients and there is no reporting at this stage
to suggest that this problem was caused by a malicious
act or a cyberttank anything like that. It's just a
plain old mistake, a plain old error, and already some
(01:35):
experts are describing it as the single largest IT outage
in history. Quote this is what Y two K wishes
it was, someone said on redit. Tell you what, though,
it is a salient reminder just how fragile and interconnected
many of our modern digital systems really are. A see.
(01:58):
I would describe myself as being kind of mid tier
when it comes to the uptake of technology. I'm not
a total yuppie, but I have a Chat GPT account,
I back up my data on the cloud, I use
Apple Pay on my phone, and I absolutely abhor cash.
I hate cash notes, coins seriously. In twenty twenty four,
(02:23):
all of that clutter, Ugh, I want to go about
my business with the fewest things possible. I don't think
I've had a wallet that was actually capable of carrying
hard currency in at least fifteen years. But if the
last thing I thought of before I hit the hay
last night was poor old Dave, miserable in the dim
(02:45):
light of a living petrol station fore Court. The first
thing I thought of this morning was how to avoid
Dave's predicament. On the way to the studio, I stopped
by an eightm and withdrew a few hundred dollars in cash,
not a crazy amount, just enough for a tank of gas.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I didn't even really realize it was happening because we
had kebabs on Friday night and I was able to
buy them. I pay waved with my smart watch. So yeah,
(03:26):
I just took my usual approach to these sorts of things,
so I put my head under the covers and tried
to pretend that it wasn't happening.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Is it really what you want to hear from an
intrepid newsman like myself? That there was irony? In case
you missed it, Mahie Drysdale, So from sports excellence to
political excellence, is there a difference?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Could you have won the mayoralty if it went for
the fame that you're rowing has earned you over the years.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Yes, a good question. I don't actually know the answer
to that. I guess you know through what I've done,
and that success I think gives a lot of trust
to people that I know how to succeed, and you know,
and probably you know that they hopefully believe what I've
(04:22):
been saying. So you know, that's that's very much a
good start. But you know, now I've got to go
and go improve it and and show that I can deliver,
you know, on what I promised to do.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting question, I guess. But
of course you're the sum of all your parts. So
I guess, what are other qualities do you have that
are going to make you a good mayor?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think you know, and this is you know, I
guess what sport does for you?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Right?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
It teaches you how to succeed.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Right, So it's true. Okay, so you know how to
succeed and that translates into your mirority. I guess it is.
He's saying that because of that, then he can make
Torong a success somehow. It'll just wash off that chantlersphere
(05:14):
of success. Success breeds success, that's what they say, isn't
it doesn't mean anything. We'll find out qu's talk zibbin
successful outing for the All Blacks. It was pretty encouraging,
wasn't it. With a lot of young guns coming in
and looking like they're doing the job.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
There is of course the caveat of how much we
can take from a game against Fiji, who, while they
have improved in recent years, didn't look anything like the
same side that beat England and Australia last year when
they played yesterday. But you can only play what's in
front of you and the All Blacks did that. And finally,
before we go to the lines, no cards, no cards,
(05:54):
red or yellow cards in the first three tests under
Scott Robertson. Now compare that to last year. Sam Kin's
red and Shannon Frazelle's yellow in the World Cup final,
Cody Taylor and Aaron Smith's yellows against Ireland in the final,
Ethan de groot a red card against Namibia and Paul
Play at the World Cup, Will Jordan's yellow against France
(06:14):
in the opening game, and in that warm up game
against South Africa, Sam Kane got a yellow and Scott
Barrett got a red. That's five yellow and three red
cards in the last eight Test matches of last year,
none at all in the first three Test matches of
this year. That is a sign of pretty good discipline,
isn't it under the new rays yet?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Or is it a sign that like me, nobody really
understands what a red card is anymore. For some games
they seem to have it. Sometimes you get sent off
for twenty minutes and then you can come back again,
or somebody else can come back again.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Or.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Everything's so confusing and ragby, isn't it. I find myself
getting very tense when I review these days. I don't
know why, because I've never cared about it less. Anyway,
it was quite a good way to while away a
couple of hours on rainy afternoon or Saturday. So yeah,
(07:15):
the three week break for the All Blacks means that
you haven't got much of which you watch. What about
the Olympics and Dane gallery Adams is going but not
to compete for you.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
It's going to become a novel experience actually just watching
the Olympics.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Yeah, absolutely, like watching the whole day if I wanted to,
and sitting there and getting tired and all the rest
of it whilst enjoying the games. But you don't watch it.
You're focus on your event, and that is that you
don't know what anybody else is doing, because that's just
the whole that's just the way it is. Where now
it's like you can actually pick who you want to
watch and who you want to follow and get up
at three o'clock in the morning before you actually shoot out,
but go into Paris all the rest of it. But
(07:54):
it's going to be great. I think, you know, this
is going to be a games to remember after what
happened in Tokyo, so globally, I think it's going to
pretty much uplift everybody. I hope, So, I mean, I hope,
But that's the aim, right is it.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
One of the things I love about the Olympics is
I get really intensely into sports that I don't necessarily
follow for like three years and nine months, you know,
and then all of a sudden I become like an
expert on diving or whatever.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Else.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Are these sports that you are really excited about seeing that?
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Isn't that a typical journalist part sports that I'm looking
forward to. I'm I really enjoy basketball doing the other
for games because it's quite you know, it's quite intense,
but in a different way. I love, yeah, absolutely. But
then I do like things like gymnastics, you know, because
it's so such a novelty. We don't even really have
(08:45):
it here in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What did she mean by that that we don't have
gymnastics in New Zealand. The people doing gymnastics in New
Zealand know that they're not doing it, so there's a
lot of people doing it. It's going to be annoying
for them when they find out that Dame Val says
that they aren't doing it. I'm literally related to somebody
(09:07):
who used to do it all times. Weird things you
ever saw news talk? Has it been right? If David
Williams can say something weird enough to make us laugh,
he often does. He's back out on tour again.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
You're doing a tour for adults and a tour for kids,
which is very.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
It's the same tour, but the kids and family shows
in the daytime and then the one that's more adult
orientated is in the evening. Because I announced the show
for grown ups in the evenings and lots of messages
saying is there's going to be suit small for my
young children, and I thought it would be really nice
(09:47):
to do a special books orientated show because obviously they
have a lot of fans for young readers. So so yeah,
family show during the days and evening shows in the nights.
It's not that the evening show is going to be
really really rude. But if you've got an eight year
old who likes my books, it's not quite right with
them because there'll be some adult themes. Nothing too rude,
(10:11):
but you know, it's it's they'd have to stay up
very late to sit through the adult show.
Speaker 9 (10:16):
Which do you prefer. I wonder whether you've got a
little bit more license with the kids show to have
a bit of fun, to be a bit more ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Well, I'm proud of my books, and it's obviously a
thrill that I've got so many young fans around the world,
and so that will always feel really special to me.
And I think there's more of a sense with kids
that you can try and influence them with positive messages
and things, whereas as adults, we're all sort of setting
(10:44):
our ways, aren't we, and all that goodness has drained
out of us. And I think there is a sort
of atmosphere you get with a room full of kids
that is hard to replicate. Because I go out to
the audience and I ask the kids, I say, I'm
doing research for my new book, The World's Worst Children
(11:05):
for and has anyone got a brother or sister they'd
like to nominate to be in the book. Well, you
can imagine, you know, a thousand hands go up at once,
and everyone's leaping up and down their chairs because they
want to say something. And there's sewing about when kids
get excited that even in the most sort of I
don't know, the biggest shows I've ever done for grown ups,
(11:25):
it's not quite the same as the shrieking and jumping
up and down that you get kids.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It sounds like hell on earth. He must have done
something very bad in a previous life to hit the
two of the world and be exposed to shrinking, jumping
up and down kids. I actually can imagine anything worse. Hey, kids,
thanks for listening if you're listening, and thanks to everybody
else as well. I will see there here again tomorrow
(11:51):
with another episode of News Talks d.
