You're listening to a podcast from News Talk sed B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on
iHeartRadio used Talk said Talk.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanis and welcome to the Bean the
weekend edition, first of yesterday's news. I am Glenn Heart
and we are looking back at Sunday and Saturday. Seems
to be the best way to make a weekend work.
Are the arts worth funding? This was a headline that
got Francisca's attention this week. We also look at the
Olympic Golf. We're coming to the end of the men's
and we're about to kick off the ladies lime cordial

(00:46):
as I've always called them. Franchisa calls them lime cordial,
and she calls Elijah Wood Elijah Wood, and he'll be
at the end of the podcast too. But before any
of that, all this carry on. That's corgan on in
Parliament at the moment with John Key calling for the
temperature to be lowered. That's very American of him, isn't it.
Where we heard that already in the last couple of weeks. Anyway,

(01:07):
what's going on here? Erica Stamford hot off the back
of the National Party's AGM.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Seems the tone in Parliament is getting a little bit
toxic with some personal attacks. John Key has mentioned we
need to take the temperature down. What is your observation
on the way politicians are going about their business when
it comes to these tricky issues do we have We
got a big problem on our hands with the way
you guys are all interact.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
With each other.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
Look, it's it's hard to say. I tend to stay
out of it. I've got a big focus and a
big job ahead of me, and I'm totally focused on education,
immigration and the crown response into abusion here, and so
I tend to ignore this stuff. But look, it has
gotten a lot more toxic, and there is a lot
of hypocrisy going on in the house. I hear a
lot of MPs yelling out pretty horrific things and then

(01:56):
complaining to the speaker that someone said awful about something
awful about them. I mean, it's just childish, you know,
And it is pretty nasty.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
I'm pretty thick skinned and just I can handle the jandle.
But look, there are a number of others who are
I senor of that sort of thing, and you know,
we do have to take the temperature down. We do
need to be respectful and remember why we are here.
It's not to bitch and moan at each other. It's
actually in my job to make sure our kids are
achieving at school. And if someone wants to yelled something

(02:25):
at me across the house, well good on them. But
I'm focused on raising achievement and closing the equity gap.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah it's a good point, isn't it. There are two
types of people in the world, those who can be
bullied and those who are impervious to it. It's like
water off the duck's back. I think I'd like to
think that I fall into that second kid agree, And
then there was that time that Manarura threw me down
the bank into the lake. Because you can be impervious

(02:52):
up to a point, can't you. I don't think anybody's
doing that in Parliament, let's hope not.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
Anyway, News talk z been.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Right headlined during the week that had Francisca. Actually Francisca
was busy this weekend. She was doing Jack Show as
well as his Not sure exactly which one this one's from,
but yeah, she wanted a word about the arts.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
Sparta have been lobbying tirelessly to make sure New Zealand
on Air was exempt from having to make the across
the board seven point five percent cut being asked of
Ministry funding. New Zealand's longest running soap, Shortenman Street, will
air us three episodes a week in twenty twenty five,
a compromise to keep the long running drama alive. The
CEO of TV and Z proved she got the memo

(03:34):
about creating headlines after Jodie O'Donnell accept an invitation for
the IOC to attend the paras Olympics. She thought about
it decided it didn't pass the sniff test, so she
is taking leave and personally paying for the trip, even
though she will attend some meetings. A sensible decision, especially
considering this week. TVNZ also announced it needs to find
another thirty million in revenue or cuts. I am a

(03:57):
huge supporter of the arts, but silly headlines make it
hard to encourage others to support them too. Art and
culture is pivotal to creating vibrant cities, communities, to fostering
a sense of belonging, pride, identity and connection, and can
be a good source of revenue, so please stop making
it so hard to sell.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Now, I'm not I'm trying not to be Turesh here,
but does Shawn Street part of the arts to Shortland
Street art? I'm just really not sure that it is. Sorry,
Shortland Street. I mean, I've got a respect for your legacy,

(04:38):
but is it art?

Speaker 8 (04:39):
You talk?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Zib Don't get me wrong. I know that what I'm
doing here isn't that that's for damn sure. I perfectly struck.
Goldball can seem like art sometimes, and I guess that's
what Lydia Co is hoping for as she heads into
the women's tournament at the Olympics.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Have you settled into to Paris, Lidia?

Speaker 8 (04:58):
Yeah, you know, I just flew in this morning. As
I'm getting adjusted to the time zone here, I'm doing
a little bit of media and then I'm probably in
a catch up with the guys later this evening. But yeah,
it's just great to be in Paris, and you know,
obviously super honored and proud to represent New Zealand again
for my third Olympics.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
We had great success of course in Rio silver, Tokyo bronze.
What does competing at the Olympic Games mean to you?

Speaker 7 (05:25):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (05:26):
You know it means a lot. You know, I'm always
proud to obviously represent New Zealand, even when I'm playing
on the LPGA, But there's something about the Olympics that's different,
and you know, it's, without a doubt, the biggest sporting
event for you know, I think any athlete too, and
I think that is something that we all dream of,
you know, having the opportunity to you know, be at

(05:46):
the Games. And you know, for I was very lucky
enough to be able to win both the silver and
the bronze in the first couple of Games, so it
would be great to be able to meddle again this year.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Yeah, well gold is the missing color Oldia, is that
what you're chasing?

Speaker 8 (06:03):
That would be great. It would be like a Cinderella
story if I was to you know, when the goal.
But you know, I know that I'm here alongside the
best female golfers.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Is not going to be easy.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
But I know I'm going to just focus on my
game and you know, try and play my best around
the golf course and you know see where that puts
me by the Amazon.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
So, of course, Ryan Fox and the means started well
and then I didn't finish quite so well. So that's
that's a bit of a shame. Hopefully, Olivia Coe she's
got a form. She's won a couple of medals already
at the Olympics, silver and then bronze. Let's hope she
can complete the set over the next few days.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I always thought this band was called Lime Cordial, but
Francisca called them Lime Cordial. Do you know anyway we
should all know there have to be a third album
after all?

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Congratulations? Third album? Were who?

Speaker 8 (07:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (07:00):
Yeah, it's crazy, Like I remember doing our first album
and we didn't feel like we were going to be
taken seriously as a band until we had an album out.
So now we're at number three. Yeah, it's pretty insane.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
Tell me a little bit. This is a bit of
a concept album in a way. Tell me a little
bit about sort of what's behind this album, because you
try to tell it, you're telling a story of a
relationship sort of in a chronological order, Is that right?

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (07:25):
I mean we're still trying to work out whether it
is a concept album or not. I'm still getting familiar
with that term, but it's been thrown around a bit,
and I guess if there's a concept behind an album
as a whole. Then you call it a concept album, right,
what do you think I'm.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Probably showing my age by calling it a concept album.

Speaker 9 (07:45):
I'd say, let's go with concept album. It sounds it
sounds good, it sounds artie, it sounds professional.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Do you know what I do?

Speaker 7 (07:51):
You know what I love about that, though, is that
you know, I've got two teenage kids who don't understand
anything beyond shuffling an album and shuffling songs and things,
you know, And it is I grew up in an
area and I mean, and we still have vinyl these days,
but you know, CDs and vinyl and things. You put
an album on and you listen to it from the
beginning to the end, and it kind of took you

(08:11):
on a journey and that was sort of the part
of the joy of listening to an album, right Yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:17):
And I mean, I think we had maybe the biggest
year of vinyl sales last year ever, So vinyls are
kind of popping off more than ever, and people it's
a good sign because people love to have a little
bit more than just a file on their computer or
be streaming, and they want to, yeah, just be a
bit more involved and be able to look through this artwork,

(08:38):
which is really cool to know that that's coming back
more than ever.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Come on, be honest, guys. Yes, I know it's cool
to buy albums on vinyl, but then you don't actually
bring them out and listen to them. Once you've done that,
once loved at the artwork, you just put it on
the shelf.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Right, surely, news talk has it been?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Sorry, I'm coming across all Endi art today. I'm not.
I'm definitely for art for art, I'm from music for
to the movies and for a Larjah Wood.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
It's a beautiful family drama and adventure flick with tension
and action. It's funny, it's got beautiful views. What more
do you want when you go to the cinema?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Well articulated? I agree, what more do you want? I
completely agree. I'm in love with it. I I've been
in love with this since the first time I read
the script. It's incredibly special. It's it's got, you know, fun, awkward,
somewhat in some cases bizarre characters that intersect in the

(09:49):
wilds of New Zealand, and ultimately, at its core, in
this very sort of funny series of events that these
characters go through it's really a father daughter story and
it's actually quite beautiful and emotional and ultimately connective at
the very end of it all. And so I've those
things also really appealed to me.

Speaker 7 (10:11):
I've got probably a decade on you, Elijah, And when
I grew up, this is what I grew up on,
live action family films, and I feel like since then,
you know, my kids have grown up. If you went
to a family flick it was an animation, it's so
lovely to see, you know, live sort of family action flicks.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
You're so right, and that's absolutely what inspired ants to
make the film. It's what he grew up on as well.
And I think, you know, in the in the eighties, son,
I was born in eighty one, so eighties into the nineties,
there definitely worth these films, live action, you know, out
in the wilderness, family films with like low stakes danger

(10:53):
that everybody could enjoy. And you're so right, they're really
not made anymore. And you know after that it was
all animated films, and now it really truly is dominated
by animated films. So to sort of bring everything back
to to live action and and you know, throw these

(11:14):
characters into these really fun scenarios that are semi dangerous
but just enough I can, I can sort of be
enjoyed by all ages. Was really fun to sort of
engage with and kind of imbue the film with those
all sensibilities.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, so that movie is bookwork and he is not
far and just because every time you think of him,
you think, PROD, that's not him in this movie, I
would maybe quite clear. Goucha must be how going through
life not but trying not to be far do again.

(11:52):
I am a green hat. I will always be me,
and I will be me again tomorrow. I'll see you then.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Talk it Bean.
