You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said b

Used Talk said, be you talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Thursday,
first of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Wednesday nepfall. We're getting a bit
sick of this, are we? The soul frakka? I mean,
if they didn't sort it out soon, I think they're
going to people are going to be quite disenchanted and
they're going to start walking away in droves. Nigel Latter
(00:47):
we that we acknowledge his passing and Keith Urban Nicole Kidman.
That was really the major story of the last of
twenty four eight hours, isn't it. Most people are obsessed
with that. But before any of that can tourism say,
(01:09):
what do you think?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
And this is not by chance, it's by design. They've
got government and business coming together and going all in
on infrastructure and law changes, a whole bunch of stuff.
They're extending an electronic visa free travel pass. They will
have integrated ticketing for all your public transport by the
start of next year. You can use the same pass
for major tourist attractions. Imagine catching the Wahiki ferry and
(01:30):
doing the luge all on one pass. Big push on
regional tourism. But their secret source is a cultural takeover
of movies, TV shows and music. That's another industry that
they bought into big time, and now it's paying massive
dividends for them, dividends we could only dream of. We
know this works. We had Lord of the Rings. Remember,
almost four hundred million people around the world have watched
(01:52):
a little show called K Pop Demon Hunters. Go and
watch it on Netflix or don't, but it's their most
watched show ever, and now every kid is begging their
parents to go to South Korea. This is not to
bitch and moan and say that we should be doing
better or something our government has or is at least
trying to pull together similar schemes here. This is simply
to say, what an impressive operation to watch the Koreans
(02:16):
planning and executing and getting results. It's something that should
excite us. The Saudis are going big on gaming. The
Irish rolled out the red carpet for Big Tech. Captain
Judith Collins this week reckons our next big thing should
be space. We are world leaders in agriculture, so what
do we want to add to that list? And how
(02:37):
can we follow South Korea's lead and make a plan
to get there?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I think we need to have more internationally successful Netflix
TV shows like Squid Game, and can we have some
n Z pop Herewi Pop the other K pop to
make us more popular as well, like you know, Black
Pink and what's the other one? Bts? We need some
(03:09):
bands like that, don't we to get people to come here?
I think that's what it's working for career.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Isn't it news talk?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Has it been?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm fried chicken as well? A lot of Korean fried
chicken shops around. I don't know how many there are
in career, there's certainly a lot here. Now, Netball, seriously,
can we sort this? This has gone on far too long.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Even with Ware and Berger's endorsements, Todoer faces a major
battle to stay on unless there is overwhelming approval from
the players. She looks to have coached the side for
the final time. Now, doesn't that strike you as being
a bit mental? I don't know that players should have
the power to dictate who the coaches, do you? Players
will not always like the coach. That is the nature
of the relationship. It's kind of like asking the students
(03:59):
who their teachers should be. Netball New Zealand actually should
face some really tough questions over how they've allowed this
to happen where the players call the shots in the squad.
In fact, it seems to me that there haven't actually
been nearly enough tough questions for netballne New Zealand over
how they have been instrumental in stuffing this whole process up.
I mean, for a start, they left this to the
last minute. This business of the players versus Dame Knowles
(04:21):
was brewing since January. They didn't deal with it properly,
and they left it until about ten days before the
Tiny Jamison series to stand her down. They conducted a
review without telling her about it. They couldn't or wouldn't
tell her in the names of the players who were
complaining about her. The chief executives stayed on holiday while
this whole crisis played out, and now once again they've
left it to the last minute to sort it out
(04:42):
because they're holding marathon meetings over the last couple of days.
Yesterday the meeting was ten hours had to be resumed
today they're holding marathon meetings this week to sort out
a thing before the Constellation Cup camp starts on Monday.
Now it seems to me that if there is a
blame on all sides, from the players to the coaching team,
the greatest blame may in fact lie with Netball New
Zealand for letting this get to the point where a
(05:04):
world class coach is being kicked out by rebel players
who call the show.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I guess they don't think that she is a world
class coach. They think she's a mimi. Well that's certainly
the narrative we're being sold anyway. But either way, just
sort it, just move on. The longer this is drawn out,
(05:32):
like I say, I mean, I don't know how much.
I mean, there's obviously you've got your hardcore netbilk fans
you think it's the greatest thing ever, and then there's
people who sort of get interested in it sometimes, you know,
when we're playing Australia or there's a World Championships going
on or whatever. But those people aren't coming back if
you if you can't sort out this business, it's ridiculous talk.
(05:57):
So Nigel Latter, perhaps New Zealand's most famous psychologist. Would
he be certainly the most famous sort of expert and
parenting that was a big thing for a while. Here
(06:17):
is the family spokesperson, Bridget Tapsil.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The honesty and that pragmatism that he showed Bridget when
he was diagnosed clearly resonated with so so many people
in New Zealand who were going through a similar thing
and provided them comfort because it was so honest and
that philosophy and as you say, that pragmatism that he
was he was so talented at. When the message messages
(06:43):
I no doubt started flooding in from people going through
something similar, How did Nigel and the family deal with that.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
With grace and with dignity and with understanding? You know,
I mean that's I mean, I've never had cancer, so
I don't know that. I can only imagine how difficult
that is to navigate. Yeah, so he did it with humility,
strength and dignity and very honest communications within in a circle.
(07:17):
But having said that though, the communication was always very optimistic,
and so last week when he went to the oncologist
on Wednesday, he went with optimism like he wasn't probably expecting,
you know, to find out that there was no there
was nothing else that could be done. So yeah, right
(07:39):
up until the last week he was optimistic.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Bridget Tabs on Nigel letter there leaving a bit of
a bit of a whole in the world of New
Zealand psychiatry. I guess okay, so Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman.
(08:02):
I was gonna say, Nigel Kidman, Nicole Kidman, that's it's
all over over? Ah well, wow, couldn't be more interested
in this one?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So interested?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
All gone bad for Nicole Kidman, hasn't it? We'll all
gone bad for the marriage with him seeing a younger
woman cheap as creepers.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You know what i'd.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Say, I'd say, never trust.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
A man.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Who's much older than his haircut. That's what I reckon
dodgy about him. He's got a young person's haircut and
old person if anyone's got if anyone's not great aging grace,
who've got a young person's haircut an old person's head.
There's only one thing they're up to, Marcus, thanks for
the laugh about Keith Urban's hair. Yet, No, never trust
(08:55):
a man with a young person's hair. Never trust a
middle age your elderly man with a young person's haircut,
they're covering up something.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's never God, It's a pretty siding analysis of the
situation there. Who do you reckon it be the highest
maintenance to be in a relationship with Keith Urban or
Nicole Kidman. I mean, Keith seems like a fun bloke
to be around, but obviously he's got a history of
being a little bit too fun to be around certain substances, etc.
(09:26):
And Espa Nicole Well news talk ze Bean. Don't get
me wrong, I think he's an amazing actor. I've just
I just don't know about the actual I don't know.
I don't know her. But interestingly I mentioned this to
this whole situation to Garry Woodham's producer Helen. I mean,
(09:50):
she came into the studio yesterday morning and she was
stoked because she figures that Keith's basically back on the
market now.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
Kerry, can you please fill in the gap for me?
Is Helen quite tall or is Keith Urban kind of
short or a bit of both. I'm a shorty too,
I've often wondered what it would be like to date
tall lady asks Paul Well. Helen knows everything about Keith Urban,
How tall is he?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
All?
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Short? Is he do you know, off the top of
your head. Oh, we kind of need that information before
I can go any further. I thought he's sort of
cruise tom cruise height wisey. Maybe I don't know why
I'm saying that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
He just.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
He is.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Keith Urban is five foot ten, which is complete and
utter nonsense. He'd probably be about five foot eight, which
is about one officially one point seven eight meters, but
he's probably more like one point six eight. And Helen
is what she's about five foot six, so one point
six eight I mean one hundred and sixty eight cent meters,
(10:56):
so there'd be about the same height. On another I
don't think he is five foot ten. I think they
do inflate their height on their you know, they take
away the weight and they inflate the height when they're
doing their five eight and a half. There we go.
That'll do. We'll call it five eight and a half.
(11:17):
Helen's five six and a half, so it'll be flat shoes.
But not a problem. I mean, the heart wants what
it wants, doesn't It doesn't matter if it comes in
a tall or a short package. And as I say,
just look at jockeys, they have the best looking leagy girlfriends.
You've ever seen female jockeys don't usually struggle to find
(11:41):
men taller than them. His height is not insurmountable. Literally
might be if he was much taller, though, I'm glad
you picked up on that. So there it was Keith Urban.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm won seventy four, which is five eight and a half.
You always know that you're sure when you say en
a half. Tom Cruise is one seventy so on four
centimeters four than him because he's just literally one boy
seven even. And then Keith, Yeah, Keith Irvans one seventy eight,
(12:18):
one meter seventy eight. So does that get him up
into the tens. I'm just trying to get four centimeters
one and a half. Oh yeah, yeah, that probably, Yeah,
that all stacks up. I'm just trying to think if
I've ever seen him. I feel like I have seen
him in real life. He's been in the I don't
(12:41):
know if we've interviewed him in person in the studio,
or I've seen somebody he's been walking through the station.
I think he is one of those people whose sort
of personality is slightly bigger than he is. Now. I
want to know how told Nicole Kidman. Is the something
that there was a way I could find that out.
(13:03):
I funny, there was some kind of thing that you
can just type in a question and you get an answer.
Be great, effective, meant that I am being hard. Five
out and a half.
Speaker 6 (13:16):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
