Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said, be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
Used Talk sed be Talk said, Hello, my.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Wonderful beanies, and welcome to the Being the week in edition,
first of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Sunday and Saturday. That's as long
as the weekend was, regardless of how many of you
were here on Friday. Let's don't be better about it.
Then move on. Did I say I'm Gleen Hat?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think I did?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Anyway, this morning, we're open to foreign buyers now, Winston's
happy to put out the welcome mat for them.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Sending your kids off to UNI? Is that hard or awesome?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Jack has a very strange way of making coffee, and
Street is going down the three days a week. But
before any event, Super Rugby is about to kick off. Literally, jeez.
Jason Fine talked to a lot of the coaches. I'll
just took one at random. Oh here's the Chiefs coach.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Did you forgot what you needed out of these two
preseason games?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah? I think so funny. It's it's always our biggest concern,
isn't it coming out of preseason Undercape and there's a
couple of little weed niggles here in the yesterday, as
you would expect coming out of a preseason game, but
nothing that's going to cause us any concern hid in
the week one.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
All right, so you arrive at the start line or
just out from the start line, how good is shape?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Do you think you're in.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
To be perfully honest, I was open for us to
take a bigger step forward yesterday then we did. We'll
showed some good signs last week against the Hurricanes and
whilst it was good, some more minutes into the lads
yesterday and the Alblet's come back and they and they
put in a pretty decent shift in the second half. Yeah,
(02:17):
we didn't quite know the things I think that we've
worked on in the week. So what's a big big
focus on this week as we head up to Blues.
But from a squad perspective, we know we've got depth,
we know we've got quality and if we are now
the basics world then we'll we'll give ourselves a decent
chance that been there at the end.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan there, he's an excitement machine isn't
he What a dynamo man? He is absolutely fizzing just
like me. Who could what could be more excited about?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What is it again? Oh it's Rugby getting off.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean we always say this, don't week. Oh good's
not even the middle of February and he's Rugby anyway,
News talk, right, So the Carlton government's going to tweak
the old visa situation or something and if you've got
enough money, come and buy a house. And I know
(03:16):
Winston sort of said negative stuff about that before, but
don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's all good. Now have a house.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
What have you made of those sounds that Winston? You'll
be following the stuff pretty closely. It did seem to
look like he was flexible when it comes to people
contributing elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Yeah, which I thought was surprising. I thought he would
have been a firm person of blocking things of this nature.
But I think when we look at the country, we're
coming through a harder period and if we want to
focus on wealth and prosperity, free people in free markets
is what generates the most wealth. And I don't really
(03:56):
see any downside with opening up New Zealand to have
more capital coming into the country and property is an
easy start.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
What change would you make if you were thinking that
you'd probably have to get it past. It's a complication
of the question.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Isn't it.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Look some of the comments, like when you said new property,
I can see I can see the other side of
the aisle. So I'm personal plea and free people in
free markets. I think we should be open to trade
with the entire world, including property. I can see the
argument where people say that, well, if anyone in the
(04:35):
world can buy property, that means there's more buyers, supply
and demand goes more in that favor and prices will increase.
But when we look at the historical data, it doesn't
show that you.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Got that ground whole day feeling. Again, I've been through
all this so many times before.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And then there'll be the articles that debunk how many
foreign buyers there are turning up at the option because
it's just people being raisers, because they look around and
see a whole lot of Asian looking people and they
assume that their coigners, even though they might be in
New Zealanders and blahody blah lah blah, and around and
around it goes.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
There is no news. It's all just old news.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Us talk side right.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Tortuous time for Francesca Rudgin, her son is of age
to go to university. That is look, I am.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Sure a dip will come in time. It's that old
parenting chestnut, isn't it. When your kid's happy, you're happy.
When they struggle, you struggle. There will be tough moments
ahead for both of us. A lot of my friends
and colleagues are going through the same experience this month.
It's nice to know you're not alone, even though everyone
is dealing with it differently. It is a jolt to
have the family dynamic change. It's natural to miss those
(05:50):
random daily conversations with your kid, having everyone around the
dinner table and being part of their every day. Yesterday,
on Jack Tame's show, I reviewed a new documentary about
two talented Northland brothers, Henry and Lewis DeJong, who became
world famous at age sixteen and eighteen with them thrash
metal band Alien Weaponry. Now their parents have been incredibly
(06:12):
supportive of their boys, and at one of the boys
twenty first the mom gives a speech and she says
something like that. She says, as a parent it's important
to give your kids roots and then give them wings.
And that's exactly it. The love doesn't stop, the support
doesn't stop. We're always going to be there for our kids.
And because of that, where now they're now brave enough
(06:33):
to fly. I love this message, and it's timing was perfect.
So if you're dropping off a kid a child this
weekend or in the weeks ahead, celebrate the milestone and
they're looming independence. It means you've done something right as
a parent. Keep yourself busy so you don't have the
chance to miss them too much, and be grateful for
less visits to the washing machine and less confrontations over
(06:56):
whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I don't know what she's worried about. Heavy back. They
all come back. I sent both of mine away.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They came back, obviously, just so delighted about that man,
how we missed them, and how we found the house
so empty, quiet and clean and tidy.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Right, So it turns out that Jack is really weird.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He makes coffee in one of those funny little Italian jug.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Things that you put on the stove. What's that about?
Nobody does that?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Now?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
My parents got a machine a couple of years ago,
with a grinder and a steamer and a picture for
the milk, and Dad thrashes it every morning. My sister
has an even fancier new number and bruise velvety rich
flat whites and those fancy sea through mugs. She says
she hasn't bought a coffee since. And I can see
how the economics start to add up. If you replace
(08:02):
two cafe bought coffees a week with a five hundred
dollars machine, add in the milk coffee costs, and well
you'd have paid it off by the next rugby world.
Come to the best of my knowledge, only one other
person in my life has consistently made coffee the same
way as me, but as my brother, sheepishly admitted to
me last night. He's just ditched his Italian stovetop for
(08:27):
a big, fancy espresso maker he bought in a Brisco's sale.
It's great, bro, he said. You just push a button,
You just push a button. You see you think you see?
I think that's it. I think that is it.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Maybe it's the cables on the bench top that puts
me off. Maybe it's the sound. Maybe it's the cost
of a big, fancy espresso machine. Or maybe maybe in
a world that is always changing and where nothing is guaranteed,
starting every day in exactly the same way, with exactly
the same ritual and exactly the same brew. Maybe starting
(09:06):
the day waiting on a simple process and a humble pot.
Maybe that's what makes the coffee taste so damn good.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
My favorite way to stat the day is sleeping in,
I mean doing this podcast, That's what I mean. Sorry,
I don't know what I was thinking of this momentary.
Lots of reason there. These days I use an espresso
(09:38):
virtuo machine, and the advantage I have, I'm very privileged
to have a sort of a butler's country, a little
not that I disappear when it's time to make people
of coffee, and so they don't know that's what I'm using.
And then I serve them this coffee and they go, wow,
it's amazing, and they have no idea that it's keptual coffee,
(10:00):
because that's how good the virtuo of kettle coffee is.
It's not the tiny, little keptules, it's the big, big ones,
so much easier. Look about the same brew every time.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
It's like exactly the same news talk z it been.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
All right, let's finish up with an episode of short
Round Street, or rather three episodes.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's all you're going to get this week anyway, Right,
the new.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Era begins tomorrow night. We've got this three day a
week format and the switch to the mini series. How
different has this made the show?
Speaker 9 (10:33):
I think anytime there's change, you can look at it
as as either an opportunity for innovation or you know,
doing the same thing you've done before. And so when
we found out that we were going to go to
three nights a week, we wanted to try and really
think about how the audience would experience those three nights
without the other two, without a sort of constant feel
of Shortlum Street. Because the weekend's being the weekends. People
(10:56):
are used to Shorten Street just being there every night,
and that's kind of change to being, you know, something
that you're going to watch three times in a week
and then you're going to have to wait for days
until you get to watch it again. And so with
that in my and what we've tried to do is
just sort of sort of blend our show with more
of a procedural type show where you have a sort
of beginning in the middle and an end story that
(11:16):
a story that has a beginning, a middle, and an
end across those three episodes, so that at the end
of a third episode you sort of feel like you've
had a complete shortened street meal, if you like, with
stil cliffhangers, and you know, stories progressing on each week,
but giving it a bit more of that kind of
feeling of satisfaction on a Wednesday rather than always my Thursday.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Right.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Do you tell the audiences will feel a definite shift.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Yeah, I think they will. I mean we've also tried
to kind of increase the medical and to push a
more towards realism and to you know, do some more
work around that, but really want to kind of tell
character based stories with guests, and so what people will
see is like a guest coming in, a patient coming
in on the Monday, We're figuring out what's wrong with them.
Things go left, right, and sideways, as they always do
(12:05):
with a soap opera, and then that story gets resolved
on the Wednesday. While our characters' lives, loves, cheating, ambitions,
all of those sorts of things they carry on throughout
the whole year as always.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I've ever watching an episode of shortenand Street all the
way through and they have said that.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Even though it's one of the world's most successful long
running soap oop rooms.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Alle goodly, that's all of the driver out the producity.
By the way, A bit just do isn't it a
people really still turning on the TV.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Whatever time it's on and watching it at that time
or are they just streaming it and like do they
get to Friday night and say, let's watch the week
of Shortland Street and then it'll just take an hour
less time than you see our friends.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Two episodes shorter? Funny old thing, isn't it Shortland Street?
Mind you?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's about every successful New Zealand actor was I have
been on it early on in their careers, got something
going for it. I just don't know what it is,
because they'd like to sad you never really watched it.
I am being thank you for listening to me and
(13:22):
watching me. I'm still doing five episodes a week, and
episode two of this week will be tomorrow. Not quite
sure whether my plot will resolve by the end of
the week or whether it's a sort of a continual
thing throughout the entire season.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Stay tuned to find.
