Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, I'm a beautiful beanies and welcome to the bean
for Wednesday. First with yesterday's news. Hi am Glen Hart,
and we are looking back at Tuesday, so we need
to talk the rama. You know that we're desperate for
news with resource management is one of the headline stories. Ryan,
(00:46):
because he's been doing the drive show this week, he's
had more time to watch TV.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
He's but jealous about that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Matt Heath makes a horrendous fashion crime, Will commits a
horrendous facial crime. And Marcus has noticed that it's Christmas time.
But before any of that departies Mary the Maori Party,
things seem to be going great for them while all.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Of this infighting is occurring. As Christopher Luxon said, not
one single piece of legislation has been crafted by Tata
Parti Maori mbs to further the betterment of their constituency
of their people. As he said, not one of them
has turned up with ideas, with a plan, with a
(01:33):
way to make the world a better place for the
people who voted them in to use the machinery of
parliament to advance the cause of their people. They are
simply not doing their job while they're involved in this
sort of infighting. And I would very much like to
(01:54):
hear from those who have supported Tamati Maori in the past,
who as recently as twenty twenty three might have installed
a Tapati Maori MP in part by voting in the electorate.
Where to now, you know, is there's still a place
(02:15):
for tepati in parliament. They look like they're doing their
level best to disembowel themselves and eat their own entrails
in front of us all. It's unedifying, but worse than that,
it is letting down the very people who voted them
into parliament.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's a very good point, actually, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Like why why what are they doing? What constructive things
are they doing the other than just disrupting everything and
making dicks of themselves.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I mean, I guess maybe that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Is what you voted them in to do, if you
voted for them, I would.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Hope not, but maybe news talk has been one of the.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Things people voted the National Party and its mates and
to do was to reform the Resource Management Act because
there's too much red tape, it takes too long to
do things, and we don't care about snails and lizards anymore.
(03:25):
I think that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Too many people took too many liberties and caused too
much damage, and worrying about their margins, they took shortcuts
and then projects failed, and like so many laws, we
had to take into account those lowest common denominators, the
developers who did it cheap, the developers who did it
bad and then liquidated the company to leave others to
clean up the mess, or the people who built stuff
and it fell down, or the people who built stuff
(03:47):
and it polluted the environment. The experience is why many
will not welcome today's simplification.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Of the rules.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
But the overcompensation for those bad actors has cost us
all too much. So today I think we're all looking
for efficiencies. We are still looking for the safeguards to
protect us from the cowboys who are far too many
in our countries these days. But apparently there's going to
be some national agency that's going to overlook, particularly the
environmental concern So I wish Chris Bishop all the best
(04:16):
of luck today. The work needs to be done but
again I beg the developers not to take the piss.
Your selfish concern for your bottom line has resulted in
this mess, so just stop it. Here's a thing for
anybody building anything, whether you're getting a building consent or
a resource consent or anything. Build it once, build it right,
make it last, and care about your legacy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't think we're into worrying about whappers in the
future anymore, are we, Andrew.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's the old fashioned thinking that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If I've seen anything in the past couple of years
about how the market's work and how capitalism works, and
you know, the quicker you can make it back, the better,
and we'll just keep stoking a fire as much as
we can.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Resource Management Act or.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Not us talk side right.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Funny old time of year, isn't it, as we sort
of you know, Summer holidays, christmasts.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Hosting different shows.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Ryan's doing drive that he doesn't quite know what to
do with themselves during the day, so he's been watching
TV constantly.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
By the sounds of things.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I've discovered a whole bunch of quite degrade American Christmas
movies dropping on any platform under the sun. They're dropping
these Hallmark ones in particular. They're mindless, but they're quite comforting. Sidebar.
Why are Americans so obsessed with Christmas? There's a whole
show dedicated to a guy that goes around and decorates
people's houses very expensive decorations, lights, reindeer, ornaments, multiple trees,
(05:53):
you name it. The Yanks have money to throw around
like it's going out of fashion on Christmas. But here's
the problem. We are throwing our money around like there's
no tomorrow on streaming services. A few years ago, my
husband and I decided, let's cut them. It's just turn
our backs on them because they're costing us an arm
and a leg. Where the cost of living crisis, all
that stuff, blah blah. You know the story. And we
(06:14):
stuck to that until we didn't, and they have crept
back into our lives like a bad smell. Which is
why I am aokay with the Netflix Warner Brothers merger.
If that's what they choose to do. Hell, I want
them more merged. There are regulatory hopes to jump through
because competition, but actually, even if we pay a little
bit more for one giant streaming service, it's got to
(06:37):
be less than you pay to watch all the good
shows on the thousand different services that we currently pay
individually for surely, So my Christmas wish is quite simple
this year. I want mergers. I want acquisitions, I want consolidation.
I want simpler, cheaper TV time.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I onered percent agree you have yet to pay fun
service to.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
All your watching.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
If Ride thinks that he's going to get that, if
it's going to work out cheaper, I'll just referring back
to earlier in the podcast about how capitalism works.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All right, So.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We've had this guy, Matt Heath, It's take over in
the afternoons with the regard called Tyler this year, and
I mean, I've been trying to warn you about, you know,
the downfall we talkbat radio as we know it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
We'll get the scide to me. And now that what's happened.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Now I've noticed something different about you today. Matt's there's
there's a change in a tire. Oh yeah, yeah, yes,
So the change in attire, people, is that for the
first time in a long time, he's he's rocking some white,
horrendous Birkenstott monstrosities. You're airing out the feet, you're airing
out the free feet.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Yes, well, let us come that time of year. Tyler,
You've only worked with me for one year. So this
is this is how it works. First of all, I
test the waters with the Birkenstocks, these beautiful white monogram
perkinstocks I've got with my.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Heel on them, massive platform.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
They look comfy. I've got to say, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
I give a bit abuse for them. Actually, actually I
just got some abuse for you. You start with that
and you just test the waters, and then next week
it's full shorts no probably probably, And this is this
is what you know. You want to test the water
is in your office. You start with the flip flops
or the sandals, no socks, and then and then then
(08:41):
it's the shorts by the end of this week, and
then next week it's singy and shorts and flip flops.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
It's a bold joyce going starting with the feet.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
Would you not go maybe the set?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You can't start with the singing, and then you go.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Dress pants and dress shoes or do you go?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You it's got it.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
The transition into summer has to top start from the
bottom up because because right now out there the bosses
that will tell me off at some point for being
too casual, Yeah, they can't see what's happening under the desk.
I don't know that I've got a party under the
desk in these white birkenstocks.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It is sneaky.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I didn't notice until he went down for a coffee.
It ain't gone a minute mate. Well well played. We'll
see how that goes for you.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
I mean, and it's a real treat for people to
see my broken, swollen red toes with no.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
To still looking pretty man? Can you say? Still a
bit up? Thinking that's obviously lingering effects from his as marathon.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Um, there's I mean, there's no excuse for this kind
of thing. Why would you think that it's more acceptable
to have sandals with long pants than it is a
short pants horrendous. There's basic hygiene.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Issues at stake here.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
The more Skinny exposes, the more he exposes himself, the
more DNA. I didn't think you could leave any more
DNA around the place, but that's obviously what he's going for.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I hope no crimes committed on the extremisis because he
will be the tribes.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
As speak, when they get the blue light out forensic
team which comes in some grapes and.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Brushes News talk has it been.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, I'm feeling a bit sick now, hopefully Marcus can
cheer me up with a bit of Christmas festivity.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Has anyone received any Christmas cards? Not like one shonky
one from work, but actually a one from a cousin
or an aunt that's arrived in your letter box, with
a handwritten envelope and an actual stamp that's franked. I
don't even know if we have Christmas stamps. Have we
got Christmas stamps this year? I feel that stuff's completely forgotten.
(10:49):
Do they even do Christmas stamps? You see, once upon
a time, the releasing of the Christmas stamps was quite
a big deal. There'd be some new designer, there'd be
a modern contemporary feel, nothing that you haven't even seen one.
Once upon a time, as a child, there were two
exciting things about Christmas. And I've got to be careerful
(11:11):
because I'm actually that age now where my own nostalgia
balls myself and the children. But there was two things
for Christmas that were exciting once upon a time, and
the week or two before Christmas, the foil tops on
the milk bottle would change. They were normally silver or
(11:35):
blue and silver for the homogenized the homo milk. I
think it was called homogenized or the homo that's what
they've called it in the day. But once upon a time,
for the two weeks before Christmas, those metal lids would
change and they would have some sort of Christmas motif
on them, like trees or like sleigh bells, where it was,
(12:03):
Oh man, it's the new Christmas milk tops. What's it
this year. I don't know if they change from you
to year. I believe they did. That might be an
assume memory, but I think every year was something a
bit different. But boy, oh boy that in the dull
black and white days of living in the early seventies,
once that bright color came from the top of the
milk was a game change.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Gee who.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
And the other thing was the release of the Christmas stamps. Wow,
g oh, look at the four cent stamp. Now look
at that cheapest screepers. Boy, pretty flesh design. Now you
just get I don't even know what they are. You
get a pack of stickers from your from the store
and they're not very good at all.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't remember anything about Christmas milk bottle tops. I
mean I remember milk bottles with oil tops. They have
made that up, or that could have just been something
local to where he was. Perhaps they do still do
Christmas stamps, by the way I put one I sent.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I don't seen Christmas cards anymore. We had a whole
Christmas card to bark all last year.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The dog went to see center and we had both
with picture of them on Sandra's flat. But then I
somehow misunderstood how long it was going to take to
get those printed up, and we didn't get them until
after Christmas, which was a bit of a disaster.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So we're using those this year.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And when I say, well, I'm not in charge of
any of that, of course I've managed to delegate that
responsibility that somebody who's got from a handwriting.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I think we're probably just handing them directly to people
who can be.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Bothered sending anything. I do still send out birthday cards
to my siblings. My brother's birthday the other day, and
they asked me if I wanted a Christmas stamp on there.
I thought it was as confusing mixed message, isn't it
putting a Christmas stamp on a birthday card.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Becually had birthday stamps, didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
They Anyway, This has really got quite waffly and nostalgic
at the end of the podcast, I'd be very surprised
if you've stuck with it up until here. But if
you have, thank you, and I hope you come back
and stick with me again tomorrow.
