Speaker 2 (00:19):
Used Talk SIEDB.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You talk said, hello.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
My beautiful beanies, and you're welcome to the Being the
Weekend edition. First with yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart,
and we are looking back at Sunday and it's Saturday,
because that is indeed our weekends work. Jack is pregnant.
This is terrible news. The All Blacks have finally finished
this season. I know it feels like it happened weeks ago,
(00:45):
but it's only just happened this weekend. Glenn Maxwell turns
out to be an annoyingly nice guy, and Neil Thompson
is a music leader extraordinary. Find out what that means.
But before any of that, we've got a new police commissioner.
How do you actually appoint a new police commissioner? Let's
(01:07):
ask the police minister.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
How is the decision to appoint the new police commissioner made?
Who sort of sits on that panel so.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
That the Public Service Commission runs that process. There is
a panel sits that both all the candidates go in
front of. There's a recommendation that comes back that the
suitable candidates go forward as a police commissioner, and then
I make a recommendation to the Prime Minister, who then,
if he accepts my recommendation, makes the recommendation to the
(01:36):
Governor General.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Okay, what were the qualities that attracted you to the
new police commissioner, Richard chap Sorry should put that in
another way, But what did you like about?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I know what you mean, I know what.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What did you like about?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yeah, the qualities as a police commissioner. So look, he's
got he's got a very deep operational background. He's been
an area commanded, district commander in several different districts, and
he's he's reckon. I've just been a quality leader that
is connected to his front line but also his the
strategic side as well. So he's just a grew, very
(02:15):
good all out. But what we'll need as a country
and the police commissioner.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Mark Mitchell laugh a little bit too hard about being
attracted to the new police commissioner the same you know,
I mean it was a bit amusing, but I don't
know that it was that amusing. Was it coming in on?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
There's some questions news talk has it been.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Right for the last little while, Dack's been exposing us
to various different facets, facets of his newfound domestic bliss,
settling down, getting married, Yeah yeah, yeah. And now, of
(03:05):
course he's ignored all my advice, and he sentisal to
be having a head.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
I'm one of four, four are you kidding? And my
folks had no help. I can already see why people
rate raising children as their greatest accomplishment. And although I
can kind of understand it all in a theoretical sense,
I'm not sure the full weight, the full weight of
(03:31):
impending fatherhood has yet sunken in, or honestly will sink
in until our baby is born. Marve's jew in February.
We've got a pram, We've got a cot. We've tossed
around a few ideas for names, and I've been mesmerized
by the images on the ultrasound screen. But even as
I place my hand on my wife's bump and feel something,
(03:53):
feel someone, feel a bit of me shift and wriggle
and kick, for now, it is all just magic. And look,
I know there are going to be tough times ahead,
exhaustion and exasperation, but also know the magic will only
intensify a new baby, a new generation, a new life,
(04:17):
and the sense that mine will change career.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
How often do I have to tell people to never
ever ever, never ever ever never, never ever ever never
ever have children, especially in February. We had one in February,
and I thought my wife was going to kill me
as she got hotter and bigger in the middle of summer. Yeah,
(04:49):
I just had to keep finding excuses to, you know,
leave the house and not come back. Anyway. I think
it can be done about it now, I suppose you
talk said, right, So, yeah, a week away from December
and the All Bucks are finally finished playing rugby. They Italy.
(05:10):
They're not very convincingly. We're about sort of neck about
this season, aren't we really? Let's you wear it all
up here.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
We are now fourteen tests in the books. How do
you assess twenty twenty four for the All Blacks?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I think for the terms of how they tested, the
depth of their players, and also you know, you're leading
contenders as well, like obviously Scott Barrett and the front rowers.
Of course they're pretty much established now with the mighty
Pasilio Tossi as well and obviously eating the group like
(05:46):
Lomex and the likes very settled lineup again. It was
great to see the bloody of the other players like
Sam Derry for example, coming in there at Rock Josh
Lord obviously, and then and then the light's giving in
these other players in the backs a bit of a
crack as well. Like Proctor, I thought he might have
got his opportunity as well, but it just it's given
(06:09):
the all blacks test of the depth, but also you
know something to work on continuing to the next year
as well.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
So Sam Kaine has started eight of them the last
nine test matches in the seven Jersey. That's probably more
than they thought he might. But the fact is he
started there in eight of the last nine tests. So
who do you reckon is going to get first crack
at the seven Jersey next year?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Right, Well, you've got Peter Lackeye there coming through the ranks.
But my opinion, I think Artie Severe should go to
the open side and want of Satta should go to
number eight. They've got send me paw a female, Send
me a female there. He can play obviously play on
the on the blindside. I would like to see Setida
pop in at eight. I think he's a bit he's
(06:54):
used as he's not as free as when he plays
at number six, even though you know some of the games,
obviously the previous ones that they played in against Ireland,
that he was able to sort of get out and
get a bit more into the open cherry. But I
would like to see obviously Artie severe at seven and
then you may be blood and Peter Lackeye and again
(07:14):
it's his depoliced career creaty as well. Who's nexting at
the heels of them of two? So that's probably my
opinion point.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
How hard it is for Jason's producer to find somebody
could be bothered having an opinion about the ragny By
the stage of the year, I know, I think we
don't have it anymore. Really didn't watch that game. It's
cricket time, Remember that time Glenn Maxwell single handedly lead
(07:45):
us failure to victory even though we couldn't move. Yeah,
and I really wanted to hate him, but it turns
out he seems quite Clinton. Nice guy.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Congratulations on the book, your first one. Are you happy?
How happy are you with the way it's come out?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Extremely proud of the way it's come out.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
There's a lot of hard work and a lot of
time put into it, and certainly very proud of how
it's come up.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Can we start where the book starts, after the prologue
and all that sort of thing with your ankle break
November twenty twenty two, freak accident and a makes fiftieth birthday.
There's a photo. I think that photo should come with
a warning as well. Now that you're on the other
side of it, how concerned were you initially that it
would severely affect your career?
Speaker 9 (08:28):
To be honest, I was really naive to how much
damage I'd truly done to my foot, and had no
idea of the magnitude of effort and time that was
going to have to be put back into rehab and
training to I suppose get it back up to speed
to even be ninety percent of what.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It once was.
Speaker 9 (08:48):
And once I suppose I got on the journey of
almost getting back and sort of having those relapses of
pain and having to go through the process all again,
it was only then that I sort of understood the
severity of what I'd done. Yeah, it's hard to sometimes
read back through and sort of remember all of that,
(09:10):
but yeah, I suppose it sort of makes it all
part of your journey.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That's why I can never do a book about my life,
because I just can't remember anything at all about anything.
People often say, ah, Ben, you mustage having stories about
working with Paul Holmes, and I often go, I worked with.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Paul Homes news talks it Bean, You're.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Going to finish up here with the APO the Auckland
Fill is it the Auckland phil Harmonic or the Auckland's Philharmonia. Anyway,
it's an orchestra and they're playing gene Kelly music. Tell
us about gene Kelly A life in music.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, my connection with.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
The show is very personal because I earlier in my
career I did a lot of these movies live with
symphony orchestra about ten fifteen years ago, and I was
booked to do singing in the reen at the Album Hall.
It was the first time singing in Reena had been
done live orchestra. And about a month before the show,
(10:11):
I got this email from the title was from missus
gene Kelly, and I thought, no, what's what's this? This
is interesting and I had this very friendly note just
saying that she was going to be introducing the show
and it would be nice to meet me and everything,
and so I was expecting this woman in her eighties,
you know, to turn up, and then there was this
(10:33):
very glamorous woman in her late fifties who I met
at the albut Hall and we became friends. We got
on well, I got We got on well really from
from from the off, and we did Singing in the
Rain in Dublin.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We did it also another show in London, and Patricia
told me that she'd been thinking about making a show
which really showed Jeans the range.
Speaker 10 (11:03):
Of his work, you know, and he was if you
only have listened to him singing, he was one of
the most innately musical people that you have that one
could I even talk like I've met him. It's interesting,
that's that's something I'll talk about, one of the most
instinctive that's not a sound that comes out of his
mouth or a move that he makes isn't musical. So
(11:24):
she wanted it to be something that highlighted this, you
know and music. So it's basically two and a half
hours of clips from various films and TV programs across
the length along the length of his career.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I was hoping he was going to get the APO
to dance while they played singing in the rain style,
put up an umbrella, hold an umbrella app in one
hand while playing the bassoon. But how many hands do
you need to play the basoon? Yeah, I'm just being silly.
(12:01):
I know that that would be impossible. That's what I find.
Jokes is so much funny. When you hit you explain,
thank you. I'm Glen had. That was the weekend edition
