Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen harton we are
looking back at Tuesday and are you any closer to
fixing the health system? It seems to be even worse
of a mess than anybody realized financially it this is

(00:43):
a mess of I mean the biggest of all money pets, really,
isn't it. So anyway can we climb out of that
pet Paris? Ryan Bridge on his comments and what he
thinks of the Olympics so far. Well, Marcus will chime
in with a little bit of first Job talk and

(01:03):
then we'll finish up with sign James back on deck
a little break. But before any of that, So, the
changes to gun searching laws, it's specific, but anyway is
it going to help? Are we going to get guns
out of the hands of gangs?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
But until you can stop basically importation at will of
anything anybody in the criminal underworld wants, it's utterly, utterly pointless.
I mean, sure, give them the powers of search so
they can have a lock. That's great, but a firearms

(01:47):
prohibition order won't be with the paper it's printed on.
I suppose it sets up a process so that if
you've got a firearms prohibitions order against you, it means
that the police can then trigger the search. But it's
not going to stop you having a firearm. Does anybody

(02:09):
seriously think it's going to stop the shootings that are
taking place? And you've now got you know, innocent collateral
really who are being used in the drive bow shootings?
The parents of gangsters, the siblings of gangsters, the children
of gangsters, they're all getting caught up in it as well.

(02:31):
So look, sure, bring in your firearms prohibition order. Will
that keep guns out of the hands of gangsters? Absolutely not?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Hang on, gangsters are going to continue to commit crimes
even though we've told them not to. Well that's not fair.
Are you supposed to do?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
News talk?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Has it been what to do? What to do about
the house system? Where do you even start with a
juggernaut like this that's been heating off in the wrong
direction for so long? Any idea, idea sticks?

Speaker 5 (03:09):
But the public services had obviously been hiding it or
they've been ignoring it, and there's still a lot of
those public servants around that can make any government's plans fail,
even if they're Nicola Wills's or Christopher Luxen's. So my
take on it is I get rid of them personally.
I think they've given bad advice to all the ministers.

(03:31):
And my take on that, why aren't they good enough
to do this? Why don't they know that you need
to monitor things financially? It's probably because they're just not
paid enough. Because they're not good enough, and anyone who
actually knows what they're doing are earning far more overseas
or they're working in the private sector, and what we're
left with is the third tier. And I'm sorry, I'm
sorry I'm being brutal to those public servants, but you

(03:52):
are the third tier, the up and covers the intention,
and that's why we don't pay you so much. In Singapore,
the public servants CEOs are the highest paid in the
corporate world and the political world. Why because they are
the best talent and they're the ones who will always
kick the goals.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
So Andrew Dickins is like Mike Hosking, and he thinks
that everything should be compared to Singapore the time that
Singapore is better at everything. They're probably right. So actually
it's not Singapore. It's women in Finland, isn't it bloody?
Singapore and Finland talk zid not Paris, though not France.

(04:35):
I don't think it's not every day year and what
are you going? Oh, why can't it be more like France?
Ryan Bridge has been having a close look at France.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Could this have been avoided? Could you have picked another river,
you know to swim? And I would have thought so.
The opening ceremony, that's another thing. I mean, obviously Celendon
was amazing, but the weird meandering lead up to Celene
was the athletes themselves are actually complaining a lot about
the beds being uncomfortable, the room's been too hot, the

(05:06):
food is bad, and they say this affecting their chance
of breaking world records. That's not great. Dona Demeyo actually
is going to talk to us about that shortly from Australia.
The other thing is that we've got no medals. And
I'm not complaining because obviously I'm not there racing myself.
I'm not jumping in the pool and swimming, so I'm
not going to complain about that, but it is nice

(05:27):
to win a medal, isn't it, And we haven't done
that yet. And then there's the Canadian football team who've cheated.
They now want the points that have been deducted put
back on. Should you still be able to remain in
the Olympics when you've essentially cheated? I mean, imagine if
the Canadian women's football team actually got the gold medal,

(05:47):
even though those sent drones up in the air. Does
that seem fair? I don't know. So there's just a
few problems that seem to be quite avoidable, a few
rules that seem to be a little bit unfair. However,
in saying all of that, I'm still watching and listening.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
So as I record this, we're counting down to the
possibility of our first gold medal, which will actually happen
in the Ryan Bridges Show this morning, well the beginning
of it, well at the beginning of the gold medal
match and the women's sevens. So that'll be exciting. And

(06:23):
by the time you listen to this, maybe you've already
you already know what's happened there. Congratulations to us or commiserations. Now,
what was your first part time job, will you start school? Basically,
this kind of conversation always ends up with what's wrong

(06:43):
with the kids of today?

Speaker 7 (06:44):
The kids still have part time jobs. You don't see
them so much doing those sorts of things. Is that
still a thing? Kids and part time jobs. I want
to know your experience with part time jobs, the ones
you thought that were good, the ones you thought were bad,
and the ones that you thought you had no right

(07:05):
doing that particular job at that age. The reason so,
I'm just curious to know about part time jobs because
people don't see me hell bent on making the money
now when we ordered supermarket shelf stacking and newspapers and

(07:25):
all manner of stuff. I haven't did maths coaching, of
all things. But anyway, I'll be curious to know what
your kids grandkids are doing as part time jobs, or
what the part time jobs you did, and whether they
set you on your lifetime career or whether they were
an opportunity that put you off at forever. I don't

(07:47):
know what they are. I don't know what the modern
form of because you've got no you can't deliver that
junk mail because that's kind of a thing of the past.
I suppose what I see a lot of young people
doing at the supermarkets, is fulling up orders for online shopping.
I've never done McDonald's, I am.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I think my first proper job was delivering newspapers. I
was the relief deliverer. That's how I started out, which
was excellent because people tended to go away at Christmas
around leading up to Christmas, and I'd be the I'd

(08:27):
be doing their routs at Christmas and some people would
leave stuff in the litter box for the paper boy.
And although I wasn't the regular paper boy, I got
all their presents.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
News talk, has it been right?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Speaking of holidays, let's finish up with signed Dames for
the back from Theirs. It turns out James went in
the same place I did.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
James has been away. Do you mind sharing where you've gone?
He's gone a well.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
I went to Bali for my son Jesse and Katrina's
wedding over in Bali. Yeah, was that nice? Bali is
really interesting. Let's put it that way. I've never been
very busy, very noisy, very pretty looted, very cheap to
do things, to buy things.

Speaker 8 (09:12):
I bet you bought one of those watchers, did you you.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Mean the tag whoya that I've got on my wrist.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
Yeah, I knew you would.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I've got a big fat fuddo now twenty bucks twenty
five for a tag? Yeah yeah right, but it looks,
it looks good.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
Didn't that it's as big as its whole first people,
it's ridiculous. Yeah, so that would classify as excess baggage
on the plane?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Almost did you sort of made the plane lean to
the left. But yeah, The thing is that it's very
very popular a lot of Australians. There are a lot
of New Zealanders there at the moment, and a lot
of people from Europe actually as well.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
I noticed.

Speaker 8 (09:47):
And so your son got married, which we obviously was lovely,
and James and I've had a we chat about that.
Was it an expensive wedding like what a Barley price?
No for a hotel.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
No, the wedding itself was very very cheap, And I
don't I think they'll be okay with me saying this.
It cost them eighteen hundred dollars for this bougie bougie
set up and had about four or five people running
around and that wasn't the reception, but that was the ceremony.
The flowers alone. The women that I showed or showed

(10:17):
these pictures in the office here and they said those
flowers would cost about six grand in New Zealand, so
it's very cheap. But you know the best thing about Bali,
well coming home. It is great when we get home.
We live in a great country that's really interesting and
nice to go to as a sometime place, but to
live this is the best place in the world. Go

(10:38):
overseas and see what it's like.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
The impression he didn't really enjoy that much. I think
he probably went to the wrong places. Our whole goal
was to avoid any Australians. That was our entire itinery
place around Mats and we were pretty successful. I didn't
actually buy anything at all, not anything. I mean, obviously

(11:01):
I have bought food and drink, but I need to
bring home realized I hadn't even bought anything. Got much
for a shopper. I am a glen hat, not much
of a chopper, but I am a regular podcaster And
we'll do it again tomorrow.
