Speaker 2 (00:20):
Used Talk, said B Talk.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful meanings, and welcome to the Bean, the
weekend edition, first of yesterday's news. I am Glenn Hart
and we are looking back at Sunday and Saturday.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Sounds like a weekend. Now the budget Oh it's budget week.
Can you contain yourself? Mission impossible? Can you contain yourself?
Naked salmaons?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I mean I wasn't able to contain myself back at
the budget at alone, naked Salmons. But before any of that,
Auckland FC, can they keep it lit on things for
just a couple more games?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Pretty good result on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
By the nature of an inaugural season, everything Auckland FC
has done this year has been a first but knockout
football is a different kind of pressure. That's a home
and away SEEMI of course with the away leg first,
and part of me, I don't know, I just feels
kind of like a bit anxious about that. Was it
really in our interests to have a full week off
(01:20):
before getting up for a critical match in opposition territory?
Sport can be glorious and sport can be cruel. Winning
the Premier's Plate does not guarantee anything this stage of
the season, but like so many others, in a few
short months, I've come to feel a real, like a
(01:42):
deep affinity for the team. I now know the respective
club histories of players who were effectively strangers back in October.
I know our defense is our greatest strength. Paulson haw
Sarki Smith pineket that Louis Vastrata blends a technical finesse
with an enthusiasm for a fifty to fifty physical challenge.
(02:03):
He will dive in that Francis Devrees will always whip
in a ridiculous good delivery and because you and momm
is just waiting to lash it him with that left foot.
I know how lucky we are to have had this season,
how good it is for New Zealand football. And seven
months since that first game, go media with the knockout
(02:23):
stages upon us.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I know we can win, he was very confidently, will
he So yep they did. They did indeed win News
Talk Ze Bean, which I guess is why Jason Pie
wanted to have a word with the coach.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Another terrific performance last night. In a season of very
very good performances from your team, where does this one rate?
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Well, it's definitely right up there. Is one of the
most important games of the season at that stage, really
gritty defensive effort. I thought, you know, they didn't have
any shots on target, so that's real credit to you know,
the whole team working hard for each other. And obviously
Logan popped up with a very important goal.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Just before we unpacked the game. What was your broad
strategy going into it?
Speaker 7 (03:15):
We knew we had to defend well. I think they've
got a lot of strengths going forward, a lot of
individual players that can change games. And obviously the two
wingers are Zani Velop and mchash were the real threats
that we spoke about fair bit that we wanted to
make sure that we limit the time they had on
the ball, and I think, you know, the boys did
it exceptionally well. When one player got beat the other one,
(03:37):
someone else was there to, you know, to take over
from him. And and that's what we what we spoke about,
just more everyone working hard for each other and getting
the job done.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Funny, isn't it how.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And football, you know, genuinely you're Heavyither are a knockout
style competition like your Champions Trophy or your World Cup or whatever,
or you have a points competition like the EPL. We
had just whoever wins the most at the end of
the season wins the whole thing. But for some reason,
the A League is a combination of both.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I don't know why that is.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'm just thinking about that just now. Should I just
thought it to myself and not shared it with you?
Or did you find that thought interesting? I hope you
found it a little bit interesting. I mean, if you've
already thought that's been totally less interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But maybe that was the first time you'd heard them.
What are you thinking that? Shut up, bed and move on.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You talk, right, So we're going to splash some cash
at emergency medicine apparently, and that will fix it, so
literally an ambulance at the bottom of the hill.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
One hundred and sixty four million dollars over the next
I think it's over the next four years. Basically, they
want to have better access and they're saying that it's
going to I'm just quoting Simi and Brown here because
I haven't interviewed him. Said the funding A boost is
going to mean, ninety eight percent of New Zealanders will
have access to in person urgent care within an hour's drive.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So that's about three point three billion dollars of pre
budget Announcement's quite a lot there.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
Actually, yeah, well that's what I was thinking. Let's go
to you first for that, Jordan, your reaction on that,
But also how significant are pre is pre budget action too?
Are we going to is it going to be an
anti climax on the day, But tell us about the
pre budget announced that your reaction to that, if you've,
if you managed to catch up with it.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
But you know, I've said about ten emails in the
last few hours, and I actually I haven't got my
head around wats embargoed and what's not so I said,
I don't want to get myself into into trouble.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
That's something slows to stream on.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
It's very clear that the government wants a little bit
of a rolling wall over the next twenty four hours
with lots of targeted colmns. And this is to what
I mean by the way the sort of the budget works,
that the government wants the milk as much as they can.
Stew's right, though, you know you do the numbers.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They have.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Announced far more new funding than what the total new
funding of this budget is. Of course, you know, the
perception is that Nicola Willis is cutting spending or has
cut spending. Nothing could be further from the truth, both
as a percentage of the economy and in inflation. In
justin terms, she's spending more than when Grant Robinson left this.
I mean it all roads point to and this is
(06:25):
why I actually think that there's going to be some something.
It's quite to be quite an extraordinary budget because in
order to make the numbers work, they've got to be
making cuts elsewhere. The question is as weare as that
and all will be revealed on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, it's it's going to be a good news bad
news sort of a budget, isn't it. There's no two
ways about it, So fingers crossed you get more good
news than bad news wherever you are.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
City.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Massive weeking of course, because the latest Mission.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Impossible movie came out. I don't go to the movies anymore.
I've made my feelings about that's pretty clear. It's just
too many people doing too many things that are too distracting, talking, eating, drinking,
just carrying on like the barbarians that people are. If
(07:19):
I could get a whole better to myself, though, I'd
be tempted to go and watch Mission Impossible. There it
does sound like a big screen kind of little thing.
Speaker 11 (07:27):
But watching Tom Cruise on Friday night at this preview
of his nostalgic and thrilling final Mission Impossible film reminded
me that the man is in a league of his own.
It's taken most of his career for me to like
the guy. He was growing on me, but then he
kind of lost me in twenty fifteen when he jumped
on Oprah's couch trying to convince us how much he
loved Katie Holmes. That I have always respected him, not
(07:51):
because he does his own stunts, takes traditional filmmaking to
its limits, and creates ambitious and wildly entertaining films. Not
for his acting ability. He can definitely act, think Magnolia,
Minority Report, Born on the fourth of July and if
You're Good Men. Nor is it because he can open
a film to rave reviews and great box office. The
(08:12):
Mission Impossible franchise has made more than four billion globally.
The reason I respect him is simply because he's in
it for the love of it. At the beginning of
the Mission Impossible preview on Friday night, Tom did a
quick piece to camera to thank us all for being there.
And this wasn't a charm offensive. He was quite particular
in what he said. He wanted us to enjoy this
(08:33):
authentic cinema experience on the big screen, the way it
was made to be seen. Since the pandemic, Cruz has
been on a mission to get people back into the cinema.
Long before Honora director Shawn Baker urged viewers to keep
seeing films in theaters at the Oscars earlier this year,
Tom Cruise has literally been putting his life on the
line convincing us that there is nowhere more magical to
(08:56):
watch a film than in a theater. Considering what he
has put himself through to create his latest film, it
would be rude not to.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, gosh, he's a real conundrum, isn't the old Tom Cruise.
I do generally like the movies, find the man pretty weird,
But I don't have to hang out with them, man,
I can just watch the movies, so works out well
for me once they're streaming. Of course, I'm not going
(09:24):
to the movies to watch one.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You're talking about news talk ze Bean.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Now I have to confess I don't know much about
the Naked Salmons. I feel like they're not actually naked,
which would have been uncomfortable obviously when they came into
the studio to talk to Jack, because they've been around
for a while now, so now they're sort of old
(09:49):
naked Sarmons and that's an interesting mental picture in itself.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I think this we've set a record for the most
number of people squeezing into the studio, so a very
impressive start. It is twenty seven years since the Naked
Sarmon's first show, twenty seven years, So who has aged
the best?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I put my money on date Day?
Speaker 12 (10:10):
I don't think so. I think I think it's Simpells
right because New LANs have this unique ability to always
look the same as sixteen as they will when they're sixty,
and Shampelle hasn't changed one iota.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
What is that about.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Every morning, especially on these cold mornings?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Oh yeah, put to shine on.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
So when I say twenty seven years, do you does
anyone have like a physical reaction where you go sh
that's like that's a fair amount of time.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, I mean, I suppose you don't think about it,
you know, in the twenty year one up to twenty
but looking back now, you go, holy cow, I've been
off these guys. I know these guys more than I
know my family. You know, my older brothers growing up.
I know these guys more. I've spent more time with
these guys than the eight brothers and sisters I have.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
So is that a good thing?
Speaker 11 (11:07):
Mario?
Speaker 9 (11:08):
I actually think so.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, just a beat there when we all thoughts a
long answer.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
But it's also one of those things, like twenty seven years.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We only get reminded when we do things like this.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It's so annoying being interviewed by somebody who's done some
research or has a producer who's done some research for them.
You need to have their research, throw it back at
their faces. So yeah, those facts, that's the word.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I a bleard heart.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I feel like I've been here for twenty seven years,
is for sure. It's nowhere near that. If it's it's
only twenty twenty four. In twenty four years, I'll see
you back here again tomorrow for twenty four years. It's
(12:00):
not exactly twenty four, it'll be twenty four years.
