Speaker 2 (00:20):
You Talk said Hello.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
My beutiful beanies, and welcome to the bean the weekend edition,
first of yesterday's news. I am Brian Hart, and we
are looking back at Sunday and Saturday. It's actually the
last weekend edition for the year, now that I think
of it. Jack's got more DIY projects he wants to
share with the entire country. Being an iron man is tricky,

(00:50):
especially when it's hot enough to mount actual iron. Dave
Gibson from LMNOP celebrates their twenty first and Robbie Williams
has a movie to spreak. But before any of that,
hydrogen is that the way of the future? Hang on,
it was electric? What's happening?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
In a way, it sort of comes across this quite
high level talking about the potential of hydrogen for the
average for the most people who are listening. Where does
the rubber hit the road on this Where are the
tangible effects of this plan are going to be first seen?

Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well, look, hydrogen is one of the most abundant occurring
elements that can be used to fuel transportation, both heavy
transport and vehicles. Lots of countries around the world are
embarking on producing key element that you need is renewable energy.
We've got a lot of that, and we want to
unlock the ability for the private sector to invest to

(01:44):
produce hydrogen. Here in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
There's been some discussion on this for a few years.
I think the previous government we're looking at some sort
of hydrogen plan. Are we a bit late to the
game in New Zealand to hydrogen?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Well, look, you know, Singapore is a good example. They're
currently retooling their port, one of the biggest ports in
the world, to be able to fill shipped with ammonia,
which has taken and produced from hydrogen. So I think, look,
New Zealand's got it. But the reality is it's a
competitive market and we need to increase the amount of
pace that we're moving at. We're working with the private

(02:17):
sector here in New Zealand. All the big players that
are involved, Toyota, Kyondi, all of those companies are already
involved in hydrogen production overseas. Want to start looking at
that in New Zealand and we're looking to how we
unlock the environment, make it easier to produce it here
in New Zealand and remove some of those roadblocks.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I've just bought a new car, and not a new car,
second d car that's new for me. I wish I've
known about this For football, I would have sent my
trade me search preferences for hydrogen. Sure, there's heaps out
there that would be well, it would have been older

(02:56):
than my brides range and I could have just snapped
one up. God damn it, News talk has it been
gone for one that's a mild hybrid? Yeah, you're not
familiar with a mild hybrid, you know. I just I
just like the sound of that, Like it's hybrid. But
it's not too hybrid, you know what I mean, it's

(03:18):
not yet too garried away. That's that's probably more about
my personal life than the music to note, But it
doesn't really matter because I'm not a host of the
Saturday Morning Show, whereas he'll spend two or three minutes
talking about stuff in his life.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Wall stickers are tacky, Well, well, you're certainly right in
the literal sense, zing given they would be the predominant
visual features in our baby's room. Marva had decided it
wasn't the sort of thing for which she wanted an
l chiapo job from Timu, and given Marv is you know,

(03:56):
kind of two people at the moment, we figured I
should probably be the one on the ladder. Looking back
at those few hours, though, I think the fact the
tree wall stickers were expensive probably only added to the
pressure of the whole situation. As I teetered on the
step ladder a little to the left, hands outstretched to

(04:18):
the wall a little to the right, I felt beads
of sweat run down the bridge of my nose and
PLoP onto the floor below me. No, no, no, no, no,
not like that. Smooth it with the palm of your hand,
not your nails. I don't know how hanging wall stickers

(04:39):
compares to hanging wallpaper. In the end, it was a
team effort, from the peeling of the stickers to the
spirit leveling, to rubbing out the creases and the bubbles
against the wall. In the end, though, the real measure
of success isn't the fact that the trees look fantastic,
even though they do. The real measure of success is

(05:00):
that somehow our relationships have eyes.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is Jack, using his opening editorial and show some kind
of like group therapy session. It's just his therapist who
may be listening along with the entire country.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
It's quite a group us talk.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Sid.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
So, yeah, pretty hot yesterday, certainly in the North Island.
I don't know about where you were even I think
in twerpoa pretty hot. I don't know how hot the
lake was. But Hayden Wild wildered a little bit, and
that he didn't win it be eind Man, I'm talking
about Kevin.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
How close was Hayden wild to actually challenging for victory?

Speaker 8 (05:40):
Well, it was interesting Pioneer, because it was I mean,
it was on from the start, you know. I mean,
I don't know what you like when you put the
tospeitos on, we'll get on the ten seed. But these
guys were flying right from the very start. So they
jump in the water, they go for the swim to
start with. Just to give you a bit of an
idea on it. These guys got through one point nine
k's of swimming and they pop and a shade under

(06:01):
twenty two minutes, so they were just flying. Got on
the bike under two hours. For ninety k's we're averaging
over forty five. They got out under the run, Hayden
had a bit of a gap and he took off
and he was flying. He's running the first couple of
k's about three minutes to k so it's pretty handy
to go five hundred meters, isn't it. But Hayden was
he he was caught. He was caught with about two

(06:23):
k's to go and that was it all over to
him in the World Championship. But he had a pretty
good lead. But yeah, Yellowgean minister surrealm and win the
World Championship.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Incredible stuff? Was this expected? Did you expect Hayden whild
to do so well as you say? He lead on
the run, only overtaken and finishes on the podium in
second place? Was that what you expected from him pre race?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (06:46):
I did. I knew I thought he'd get a podium.
I really didn't think he'd get a podium. That didn't
they would hard.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
It would be.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's crazy, isn't it? What they do? You know, running
an entire half marathon, but only after you swum in
some of the coldest water in New Zealand and bite
the ages as well. Nuts. Now it seems like we've

(07:12):
got a lot of bands doing a lot of reunions,
a lot of you know, putting out vinyl versions of
old albums and a lot of that sort of which
we I think we all just just collectively decided we
don't like new music. We prefer the old music. Puenty one.
I guess they'll be doing a ya.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Given you are in New York and I know the
band is kind of spread around the place a little bit.
How does AMP work these days?

Speaker 9 (07:38):
How does it work? Well, you know, we just put
out the bat signal when we you know, there was
there was a desire and the need for an element
of p rock and roll show. And then we all congregate,
you know, in our headquarters which is located in the
Cave in Kingsland, and you know we get get the

(08:01):
whole band back together, and you know, we do a
few rehearsals. We sound like a terrible element O pe
covers band about the first two now, and then by
the three, you know, it just seems to come back.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Is that? Like?

Speaker 7 (08:13):
Literally it?

Speaker 6 (08:13):
You guys just like you're seeing out a group message
or whatever and you're like, yo, dude, that's want to
do some summer show.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
Yeah, We've got a WhatsApp group. You know, we've got
a WhatsApp group that just we keep in touch, you know,
even when we're not doing shows, because we quite like
each other.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
It feels like the summer shows thing has become al
Aminop's kind of modus operandi.

Speaker 9 (08:32):
Yes, that's yeah, fear to say probably ever a couple
of years, we you know, we you know, jump back
on the horse. Yeah, and we just really we just
really love each other and we love playing, and we
feel very grateful that there is still people want to
come and see us play. So we feel very lucky
all these years later.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Okay, so I'm not going to put any ages on
anything right now, but it occurs to me that I
think it's twenty one years since you guys.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
Yeah, at least that sounds about it, right, right, Yeah,
So twenty one years we have a twenty one year old, like,
you know, like a like a fully grown human.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Might take issue with that. I've got a twenty one
year older. I don't know how fully grown she is.
What I'm saying, why does the washing basket to look
discaus ofppear into her room and never come out again?
But that matter? Why does she have a room in
my house?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Shell so many questions news talk.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Has it been.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Speaking of adults who never grew up as Robbie william
is one of those? I'm not sure. But also is
he a monkey? If you haven't heard, He's got to
have a movie out. It's sort of about his life,
but in it, he's a monkey. I don't know what's

(09:50):
happening either.

Speaker 10 (09:51):
You can tell why the trailer of this film and
the artwork that it was going to be a little
bit different. But I really did not know what to
expect and whether it would work.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
But I loved it.

Speaker 10 (10:02):
I laughed, I cried.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
I left the.

Speaker 10 (10:05):
Cinema with this huge smile on my face.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
You happy with it?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I am over the moon. I can't believe. I mean,
I can't believe the final finished thing. And I am
overwhelmed by the response that it's having because the first
time I saw it, I was like, this is mind blowing,
It's absolutely incredible. But then I was like, oh, well,

(10:33):
I'm gone because I am prone to ego and narcissism.
Maybe I just think it's the best thing I've ever
seen because it's about me. And then and then I
was like, oh no, what's what if it's a turd?
And I just don't know. But then you know, people
like your good Self have been to see it and

(10:53):
saying really positive things about it. And then lots of
people are going back to watch it for a second
and third time. It's not even out yet.

Speaker 10 (11:01):
I need to go back and watch it again, because
of course we saw it as an advanced screening in
order to talk to you, and there were five of
us in the cinema. All of us were trying to
hold back, just sort of singing along and getting involved.
I think it'll be a fantastic experience with it with
a big crowd.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I especially in the rock DJ sequence. When I've
watched it, I think I've seen the film like ten
times now because of premieres and screeners with people and
showing people like your good Self. And I do notice
that when rock DJ's on, I'm rocking out in the chair,

(11:40):
and then I look around the cinema and I seem
to be the only person that's rocking out this much.
Once again, narcissism.

Speaker 10 (11:49):
Have you stopped crying when you watch it?

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, yeah, But that doesn't mean that the tears have
stopped stopped. They could reappear, And I'm sure that they
will at any time. I'm now on a whistle stop
tour of different countries doing I did notice that in
Canada I started to cry at Tiff the Toronto International

(12:16):
Film Festival at the end of the movie, and then
I have to do a Q and A, and I
couldn't do the Q and A because I couldn't talk.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Have you ever made yourself cry so much that you
couldn't talk. I have certainly made myself laugh so much
that I couldn't talk. I find myself hilarious. It's not
usually the funny things I say. It's just, you know,
things like repletions in the mirror, trying to you know,

(12:50):
another season rolls around and you've got summer clothes that
you haven't worn for six months, and you try and
put those on. That's funny. It's just stuff like that happens.
The time that I fell over and broke my shoulder
when I was engaged in the very extreme activity of
walking the dog along a flat foot path. You gotta

(13:11):
laugh at you. I am glean hat. We'll be back
with more huge laughs like that tomorrow. Can you can
you handle it? If you can, I'll see the use
talking talking.
