Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said, be
follow this and our Wide Ranger podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rep there, welcome to the re rap for Friday. All
the best, but it's from the Mike Huskings Breakfast on
news Talk said, be in Acilia package starring Ryan Bridge.
I am being hardened today. The what would you call her?
The the old Lady of Eden Park. No, that's that
(00:47):
seems a little bit integrating. I'll come up with something
better than that. Anyway. She wants a word about whether
there should be lots of confidence there or not. Trump
goes to Davos, which doesn't actually go He appears there. Yeah,
I know that's in itself is quite clever, isn't it.
He appears at Davos without actually going there. And then yeah,
the Oscar nominations are out. Ryan hates them all. But
(01:09):
before any of that, the state of the nation, according
to Chris Philaxon and national as opposed to what Chris
Hopkins should think it should be.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
The jandles were a dead giveaway, and yesterday's Battle of
the Leaders if you took notice. Can you take a
guy seriously who turns up to his first major political
event of the year wearing jandles and khaki shorts. Seriously,
Hopkins didn't just arrive in jandles, he wore them during
his speech while his MPs were munching on club sandwiches
(01:42):
in the Distinction hotel in Pami. I know it might
not seem important, but people do pay attention to this
kind of stuff, and after two tough years of recession,
turning up looking like you're still on holiday hardly inspires
confidence that you might be working hard to dig us
out of a hole. And Auckland meanwhile, suited up, tie, straightened,
(02:03):
shirt ironed, standing in front of two New Zealand flags,
delivering a state of the nation's speed, which was our
forty second prime minister. Not only did Luxon turn up
with shoes, but a plan to mine for minerals to
help grow us out of dodge.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We're gonna We're gonna say yes to stuff, and I
appreciate that won't be everyone's cup of teap.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I appreciate people will have different views on that, but
we're not here.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
To debate and discuss anymore. We're going to get things
done to grow the country.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Sounds quite good to me. Back in the Parmy Sunshine
squinting into the sunship. He was asked what his plan
was for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Our focus this year will be very much getting match
fit and ready for the next election campaign, which will
be next year.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, you did just hear that correctly. Jandle's plan is
to come up with a plan for next year because
next year is an election year. Come on, bro and
other bad news. He still hasn't quite caught up with
a public mood on government spending and value for money.
While National's reorganizing spending on science to get better results
from a system that's clearly broken and not actually getting
(03:02):
outcomes hips and says this.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, ultimately, if you want more and more better outcomes
from the science that can, you got to invest more
in the science sector.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Spend more, get more. Same goes for health, same goes
for pretty much any ministry that you ask them about.
Spend more money and the problem will be fixed. The
problem for him is that we all know that it won't.
They tried that, they couldn't deliver it, and now we're
up shite creek. It's like pouring water into a bucket
with a hole at the bottom of it. So there
was day one of the political year for two leaders
(03:32):
in Stark contrast, one with the plan, the other a
pair of jendles.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So yeah, a couple of disturbing things out of that.
For me. Firstly, I can't believe that the election is
happening again only next year. Now that's disturbing. I feel
like it's only just happened to the last one. And secondly, yeah,
nobody should be wearing jenerals anymore. It's all about crops
these days, not jendles. Come on, guys, rerat right. So yeah,
(04:01):
as part of the crystpher Laxin's you know, kick ass
fast track speech yesterday, he also wants Eden Park to
have as many concerts as they want, but not everybody
who lives around Eden Park wants there.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
The Eden Park debarcle Luxon says just open it up.
And Helen Clark is obviously a neighbor and she's come
out this morning and said to the Herald, the Prime
Minister's comment is consistent with this government's rejection of sound planning, law,
policy and practice. Honestly, just move move houses. Why would
you suffer like that if it's causing you so much distress?
(04:40):
By time somebody says, put a consert on it. Eden
Park moved to gray Lynn. It's the same. There's nice cafes,
there's tree lined streets, there's other people who you know,
are just like you. Why would you stay there and
suffer through this. I don't understand it. Just move, Just
move and then we can enjoy a nice concert or
(05:00):
even give them. Just move houses for God's sakes.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, I mean, I've always thought that it's probably more
of an advantage than a disadvantage to live near nearby
Eden Park makes it very popular with your mates. If
you've got parking space in your driveway, they can come
around Patrick cars there. They're going they want to go
to the concert or the cricket or whatever it is.
(05:24):
I'll probably do without the people's keewing in your front
lawn and leaving rubbish there and stuff like that. I
guess there's a lot of that theres as well, but
worth it if you can walk to Hank or Pearl
Jam or whatever a rerap til jams announce mat now
they don't think it. Hey Trump, where's he at? You
know he's at Davos and also in Washington at the
(05:47):
same time.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So Trump has zoomed into Darvos. Well, I'm sure he
uses a more secure line than zoom, but he has
video conferenced his way into Davos in Switzerland, where the
world's business and political elitea meeting, and he's told those
who were listening to him that he's achieved so much already.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
There's nothing less than a revolution of common sense. Country
will soon be stronger, wealthier, and more united than ever before,
and the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous
as a result of this incredible momentum. And what we're
doing and going to do my administration is acting with
unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we've inherited from a
(06:28):
totally inept group of people, and to solve every single
crisis facing our country.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Despite what you might think of him, whether you like
him or whether you hate him, whether you like his
politics or not, you cannot argue with the fact that
he has He is a man with a plan. He's
come in with a gazillion executive orders. He's even come
in with a direction for watchdogs of public sector agencies
to say, Hey, if these guys aren't doing what I
(06:55):
tell them to do, you need to crack on and
get rid of them. I mean it's that kind of detail,
the minutia that he's in. So Donald Trump, I mean, yes,
he's you know, for both. I think he's probably on
the money on that one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Kind of disturbing. This attitude that you know, somebody gets
credit because they're doing things quickly. It's a bit like
the whole fast tracks plan of the coalition governments as well.
And then it turns out that some things are a
little bit more complex and do need finessing. Anyway, That's
the way we live in, isn't it. Least come on,
(07:31):
haven't got time to wait around. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
We'll rewrap it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And that's why I'm sure you know inflation will be
down to next to nothing in the States by tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
In Davos, all the elites are meeting and Trump has
zoomed in. He's making some claims about US inflation which
may not be accurate.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The inflation rate we are inheriting remains fifty percent higher
than the historic target. It was the highest inflation probably
in the history of our country. That's why from the
moment I took off, as I've taken rapid action to
reverse each and every one of these radical left policies
that created this calamity.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So nineteen seventy it was more than nineteen percent. This
is after the oil shocks. After World War One it
was twenty three percent. To be fair, he does say
probably it was probably the worst. You know, that's an
exit for me, that's an outclause. So in these uncertain times,
what is it exactly that will save us?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
The United States is the largest amount of oil and
gas of any country on Earth, and we're going to
use it. Not only will this reduce the cost of
virtually all goods and services, it'll make the United States,
say manufacturing superpower and the world capital of artificial intelligence
and crypto.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So big agenda. He's in the White House, he's getting
his plans out there. What does the world think?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
They say that there's light shining all over the world
since the election, and even countries that we aren't particularly
friendly with are happy because they understand what there is
a future and how great the future will be under
our leadership.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Oh you've got to love them, don't do you?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So an election next year and another four years of
playing a back audio like that, woo the re rat
So anyway, as I was saying before, it seems to
be the trend that we want things fast, instant done,
bug of the consequences, and the same they also apply
for our movies.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So the Oscars noms have come out, and guess what. Wicked,
the musical with Ariana Grande is on the list for
Best Picture. It's two hours and forty minutes long. It
doesn't have an ending because there's two parts, so you
get half a story and it takes half your life
to watch. We should not be encouraging this type of
(09:49):
time wasting people. Cinemas are not comfortable places. I've got
a bad back, I've got a load tolerance for people
bursting into song. Sitting in a cinema seat for almost
three hours listening to Ariana Grande sing her feelings is like, well,
it's like being held in a small torture chamber. In
three hours. You can achieve many things. You can fly
(10:09):
to Australia, you could run a marathon. Hell, you can
even get an operation in three hours. My grandma's knee replacement,
she had it done recently, took less than three hours. Actually,
I would rather get my knee replaced than listen and
watch Wicked, because it's a two parter. You could actually
get both knees done. And it's not just Wicked that's
(10:30):
dragging on June. Did you see that? The sci fi
space through it approximately six hundred hours in length. And
I know what you're thinking. If you don't like a movie, Ryan,
just don't go and see it. Ah. I never wanted
to see June. My partner did. And as a married man,
as you will know, if you're married, some things you
do even though you don't want to do. And directors, arrogant,
(10:51):
self indulgent Hollywood types don't think about us, do they.
They just think about themselves. They just think about this amazing,
emotional movie that they've created, inspired piece of art that
they'll happily dump on the world's cinemas and expect everybody
else to love. The Brutalist that's also on the list,
three and a half hours long, nominated for Best Picture,
(11:12):
Poked Me in the Eyes, brutalist by name and brutalist
by nature. I estimate half of cinemas are filled with
people who don't want to be there, trapped in their
own little torture chambers, battling through musicals and rom comms
and war biopics, all for the sake of their marriage
or to please a friend. Our attention spans are far
too short for this. Now we have TikTok, we have Instagram,
(11:35):
we have small brains, we have Twitter. What used to
be a novel is now one hundred and forty characters.
People abbreviate their speech because we can't be asked with
full sentences. For goodness, as Hollywood and today's Oscars nods
have totally missed the public mood, I propose a new category,
best picture in under ninety minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I don't mind a long movie. Actually, and this is
no a new thing. Being Her two hundred and twelve minutes,
Gone with the Wind two hundred and thirty eight minutes,
So it's nearly four hours at their point, Isn't it good?
The Bear and the Agli was one hundred and seventy
(12:16):
eight minutes. I mean, if you want something a little
bit more recent, Fellowship of the Ring also one hundred
and seventy eight minutes. I think that might have been
in the shorter the three of them. So yeah, this
isn't This isn't some kind of new sensation here. But
mind you, I don't go to the movies. To watch
the movies anymore, watching my home. That way I can
(12:37):
pause them, go to the toilet when I need to.
If you need to, you can go now. The podcast
is finished, and we'll see Beck here again for another Monday.
Last last one, we'd ride for the next little while. Anyway.
