Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Being the
Weekend Edition, first of yesterday's news.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I am Glen Hart.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
We are looking back at Sunday and Saturday, which is
what makes us the weekend edition.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Nitrous oxide.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
They really clamp down on this in the UK, and
it looks like we might be about to follow suit.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
What it takes to get.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Your wearable art into the awards and Eagle Eye Cherry
there's a blast from the past. He's blasting into New Zealand.
But before any of that, the bledterslow cap game. So
we retained the cut just funnily enough. Before it, Jack
(01:04):
was not quietly confident. I think it was noisily confident.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Super Rugby will now have just four Australian teams, so
no domestic competition and just four teams in Super Rugby.
And you know, maybe fewer teams is good, maybe it's bad.
I just think it's I think it's telling that a
city of five million people couldn't sustain a side. How
many people in Melbourne didn't even know that the Melbourne
Rebels were a thing, And you've got to say that
(01:31):
as a TV entertainment product. Sorry, but the Brumbies versus
the Force rarely compares to the thrill of the NRL. Now,
all of this is not to diminish this evening's game.
I'm excited, of course I am, and I'm certainly not
hoping for a Wallaby's win. But ultimately it is in
(01:52):
our interest for Australian rugby to somehow work its way
back into something akin to the force of the past.
New Zealand rugby needs much, much stronger competition from across
the ditch. We need. The specter of potentially losing the
Black is low. And look, maybe I will eat my words,
maybe I will be blushing come this time tomorrow. But
(02:13):
as much as I will enjoy the game this evening
right now, it doesn't feel like all that much of
a context.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yes, So in a classic case of be careful what
you wish for, I wonder if Jack considered that that
to be a classic contest, or just once again the
All Blacks mysteriously unable to score in the last quarter
of the game.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
News talk has it been do you think.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It has anything with the All Blacks mysteriously replacing their
halfbacks at about that time. That's just one theory I have.
What's David Campez's theory. I mean, he's played a few
Ragby games in his time. He's probably got a few theories.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Do you think the Wallabies will look at this one
is one that perhaps they let slip away?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Yeah? Mate, I think it's the way the game started.
Looked like the All Blacks were going to just win
by fifty. But then obviously, you know, I've never seen
an All Black team really make so many mistakes and
they obviously the first the first two tries at the
Stralias Cours were pretty simple, especially defensive errors, which is
(03:25):
very unusual. But again the Wallabies came back well they
you know, the pretty good performance. We've got some really
good individual players, but we still haven't really geled properly
yet and I just think it's look, it's kind of
it might take a while, but you know, I think
it's also interesting to see, you know, the way the
(03:47):
All Blacks have played. I mean, they were up by
twenty one points I think it was, and it was
like the game in South Africa. They were roped by
twenty points in the first game. Most all Black teams
are passed would make it forty points. And they just
don't seem to have that killer instinct or that resolve
to you know, to make make the opposition really suffer.
(04:10):
They just sort of took the foot off the pedal
and made some mistakes and you know, brought the Wallabies
back into the game.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I happen to be watching that game live with my
sister on Saturday night, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
She gets pretty passionate about it. In fact, so I've
got two sisters and a brother.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
They are all pretty passionate about the rugby, much more
passionate than I ever used than I am now.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I used to be also passionate.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I do get passionate when you've got players at Courtney
who seem to be playing very well and then they
just get subbed off because it's like time to sub
them off. Let's see what's going on. I mean, I
will begrudually admit that that TJ. Pierre and A did
do three good things when he came on, But yeah,
(04:55):
you can't argue that his passes as fast as forty
His randomis I'm sorry he spends too much time complaining
to the ref and it just reminds me so much
of Justin Marshall in the last days of his career.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Moving on talk, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You've been thinking, you've been thinking, when are they going
to do something about Nigro's upside?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, that's a certa come out of the blue, hasn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Apparently nigrosupside is really bad if you use it all
the time, I mean, apart from if you're a dentist,
of course.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So why are people Why do people take it recreationally.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
Because they get a high from it, the same high
you get when you seek pain relief. Is it's a
high obviously, it's a sense of euphoria as that pain
is relieved, and so people take it recreationally to get
that sense of euphoria.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
So what's the danger then, Oh, the.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Danger is not insignificant at least three things. First of all,
altered consciousness. So as you take the nitrous and you
get that sense of euphoria, you can get a dizziness
and a lapse of consciousness, which can lead to accidents,
and as you understand, if their vaulted consciousness. Secondly, there
can be mental health implications. There are reports of low
(06:08):
mood of frank psychosis with frequent and sustained use of nitrous,
but also a nerve damage, so it causes a myelopathy
or a neuropathy, that is, a damage's nerves, particularly nerves
out to the preiphery, out to fingers, toes, upper limbs,
lower limbs, causing a loss of sensation and a weakness,
(06:29):
and for some people that can be permanent. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So my interactions with nitrous have been when I busted
up my shoulders, I didn't bust up both shoulders at
the same time. I did it about ten years apart.
Both times they told me to suck on this. I
thought it was a bit rude that they were meaning
(06:53):
the nitrous And as far as I the talent did
nothing for me either time, and I just carried on
screaming and wanting some actual pain relief. So yeah, I cats,
I think, without taking recreationally. But there you go, right, the.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
World of wearable art? Is it what weal scans for?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Just for?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Is?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Why isn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Wa?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So anyway, apparently it's really.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hard to actually get some wearable art into that world.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
What's the process like to get to final judging.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
It's a very long process for designers, especially and international
designer and this year they represent over sixty percent of
the finalist garments. So they generally the year before they
complete their garments. So garments you've seen this year mostly
were completed in twenty twenty three in February. They upload
(07:54):
their photographs, videos and descriptions on our Designer Portal system
and then they are pre selected. So then really when
we're pre selecting, we're looking we're looking for garments that
you know, we really really believe are finalists, and so
all of those garments and then the same happens in
New Zealand a month or two later, and those garments
(08:16):
are then sent to us in Nelson. So we still
have our wardrobe department and our offices in Nelson in part,
so everything comes there. So then it goes through three
judging processes. The first one is confirmation of selection and
we call that first judging and that's when the judges
get to see the garments up close. And then of
(08:38):
course our highest technical team they're looking at quality of construction.
Health and safety is really important, you know, when you're
looking at the heights of shoes, headwear, you know you're
thinking about visibility and breedability because those models are on
stage for a long time over the seasons. So then
they're selected, then we know who our finalists are. Then
(09:01):
our garments will comes to Wellington in August when we
start loading into the TSP arenas, and then there's another
two rounds of judging, and the first one is the
first time that the judges see the garments with choreography
and movement, and so many of the garments are designed
specifically that when they're in movement they look.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
At their bed.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Okay, there's a lot too, it isn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I've got a friend who tried to get something into
this year's one and was unsuccessful, and everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Who looked at what he had.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Created to I can't believe that didn't get in. I
don't know anything about it or how these things work,
aren't you and I've never been Then people love it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
They downder Wellington, look at some wearable app.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Fantastic news talk has it been?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We're going to finish up here with eagle eye cherry.
I think it's not particularly charitable to label them as
a one hit wonder, although obviously there was one in
particular that was big.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You say you've never been here, and that is just
gonna come as such a shock to many of your
fans because you have the distinction of having one song
of the year in New Zealand. I'm not sure if
you're aware of this, but we have we have Bird
of the Year, we have Athlete of the Year, and you, sir,
are the winner of Song of the Year.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
There is a lot going on back in those days.
So yes, I have a vague memory of that happening.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Actually, do you really So there was a nine to
ninety seven for Save Tonight, And yeah, I suppose it
kind of It kind of speaks to the like profound
impact that that that that song had, right.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
It sure did, And I'm very thankful I stayed home
that day when I wrote that song because I was
supposed to go out and play football and the sun
was shining. For some reason, I stayed home, and I
don't know if I think. I started playing guitar and
I started coming up with something and I felt like, Okay,
we got something going on here, and I just stayed
and put in a few hours and wrote the song
(11:14):
that conquered the world. Life is just so bizarre like that.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Isn't it funny? So tell us a bit more about that.
You were planning on going out and doing something else
with your time. This wasn't a dedicated writing session.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
No, it was just I had my apartment. I was
just you know, I had my record deal, and I'd
made most of the album, and I needed something that
was a little bit more uptempo. Even though Saved Tonight
is in a very much of an uptempo song, but
it's definitely more than the rest of the album. And
came up with this idea. And as soon as I
(11:49):
started getting when I got the line save Tonight and
fight the Break of Dawn, I knew I knew what
this song is about, but I had no idea I
was writing a hit.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It seems to be the way, doesn't it. At these
sort of exody into words, people just minding their own business,
and one of these songs, guy's crazy. It's just going
to show there's no magic formula for these things, isn't it.
Perhaps the magic formula is to not try too hard.
That's certainly my approach to this podcast. I figure, if
(12:23):
I just don't try hard enough, it'll become an international
hit and if it hasn't yet, it's funny because I'm
trying too hard.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So I just try a little bit less hard.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
We'll see how we go. I'll be back here. We'll
almost know if it again tomorrow.
