Do you know what really grinds my gears when I go to the gym? 

What I've noticed is, you know when you watch tennis, and you hear them grunt when they're playing? That is happening at the gym. 

I don't know if it's just my gym. I don't know if this is also happening at your gym. 

But can we please stop the grunting? 

Is there a legitimate physiological reason for you to do that? I don't think there is, I've never felt the urge to grunt. 

Are you dying? Why are you doing this? 

It's off putting, it's inappropriate, and it's inconsiderate. 

Have a thought for those people who are trying to work out around you and shut your mouth. 

I mean, obviously breathe, that's quite important, but other than that, just shut up. 

It's very off putting, very annoying. 

It sounds like that barbell is getting more than a deadlift. 

Sometimes I listen to it, and I think, oh my goodness, is there going to be a climax at some point?

By the end of those 8 shortened two-minute rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson, I just felt bad for the 58 year old. 

What on earth was he doing there in the first place. 

Sure, he wants a chance to get back in the right and have a crack at 27-year-old YouTube kid. 

But the real motivation must have surely been US $20-million. 

That's the amount he was reportedly paid by Netflix. 

Jake Paul reportedly got $40-million. 

Gate ticket sales at AT&T Stadium brought in close to US $18-million and 70,000 fans. 

And Netflix? Well they won the fight with 65-million viewers at peak. 

It's part of a new strategy to host live sport events lure subscribers - including  those paying less but getting fed ads on the platform. 

That ad-supported platform now accounts for 50% of its new sign ups. It's grown to 70-million new users in just two years. 

These big tech Silicon Valley giant media companies like YouTube and Chinese Tiktok and every other app under the sun that didn't start here in New Zealand are going from strength to strength. 

They're the ones who have our attention. 

According to online sources, the top 3 streaming sources here are Netflix with 1 million, Disney + with 600k and Amazon with 500+. 

And yet here we are in NZ and Australia trying to force them into news content deals with us, we're battling with taxpayers cash to reinvigorate flailing state media companies to compete with these guys in a doomed-to-fail battle. 

We're like the 58-year-old Mike Tyson, who apparently nearly died before entering the ring. 

They're their annoying 27-year-new-to-boxing but bringing in the eyeballs Jake Paul. 

Are we going to beat that little twat in the ring? No. 

Continuing to fight him could kill us off. 

We've got to somehow partner with them, rearrange ourselves and get our content on their platforms where it'll actually be seen. 

Or we can stay in ring getting beaten and bloodied then eventually KO'd.

Ryan Bridge: New Zealand's fight against the big tech companies

Health New Zealand spent $85 million more on contractors and consultants in this financial year, compared to last. 

The health agency is putting the increase down to a global shortage of health workers. Health Minister Shane Reti says contract hires are needed to fill full-time workforce gaps. 

Executive Director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, Sarah Dalton tells Ryan Bridge the 2023 Workforce Plan identified 1700 doctors missing from the system. 

“This health system continues to rely too heavily on locums to run hospitals. It means staffing remains fragile, and it means it’s really expensive.”
