Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
First of yesterday's news. I am Glenn Hart, and we
are looking back at Monday protests.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Do they do any good? Apparently the rate.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Of amputations of the people losing limbs is going up.
And Marcus has been out to dinner for a birthday celebration,
but before any of that. So, if your kid leaves
school and doesn't have a job, that's your problem.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Now that's great, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Frankly, I reckon that would stretch most people just by
themselves to make ends meet, never mind feeding and housing
two adults and then a hungry teenager and whatever else,
whatever the kids you've got in the house as well.
So if the kids cannot get a job, which is
you know, going to be difficult at the moment, it's
going to make it really hard without the extra money
that the dole payment would bring in. And the alternative,
(01:19):
as I just indicated, of getting a job is not easy.
Right now, Unemployment is the highest it's been in five years.
But even if it is hard, it still is the
right thing to do, because we know that if you
go on the doll under the age of twenty, you
are on average going to stay on the doll for
twenty three years. Now that ruins a life. The doll
(01:39):
is not a life. It is a waste of a
young person's opportunities if they're sitting there until they what
in their late thirties early forties. What this policy is
trying to do is to force those kids to either
do the hard thing at the moment and get the
job or go and study, which does come for a
family earning that little with some financial assistance from the
government and student allowances, that is building a future. Now,
(02:01):
I think the moaners who've already come out to criticize
the government's policy here need to ask themselves whether they
would prefer those kids to stay on the doll or
go out and find a job even if it's hard
to do, or go and get some study done. Is
that what they want? Do they really want the kids
to sit on the doll? Because sometimes and I do
not want to sound glib about it, because this is
very very serious stuff for a family, but sometimes the
(02:22):
hard thing to do is actually the right thing to
do for the future.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, I mean, going by that logic, isn't a really
hard thing to do is just to not have the
kids in the first place. There saying too far?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Have I gone too far?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You know what I always say, never never, never, ever,
news talk been ever ever never ever have kids because
curious see things my way or either's way.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
If you come from a family where work is what's
expected of you, then you work. I could no more
have imagined going on the DPB than flying to the
moon when I found myself pregnant. I didn't do it
all by myself, but you know, I found myself pregnant.
The idea that Huckery Mole that was on the in
(03:18):
New Zealand flight that was prosecuted for sucking face with
her boyfriend and worse on her Facebook page and it's yay,
I'm pregas DPB here I come. That was her announcement
of her pregnancy. Like I could no more imagine. I
wasn't unable to work. I was just pregnant. When I
(03:42):
had the baby, I worked. You know, it's tough, and
it's it's tough for two parents and it's tough for
one parent, and not everybody can. But I worked because
the idea of not working is completely alien to who
I am and where I've come from. But for people
(04:04):
who think that it's actually legitimately okay to leave school
or sort of drift away from school, I don't think
it's anything quite so dramatic as leaving school and not
do anything, not study, not train, not volunteer, not work.
That's come from somewhere, And you have to take a long,
(04:26):
hard look in the mirror. If you've got kids that
think they can go on to a DPB or onto
a benefit and that's the level of their aspiration.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, it's a natured, nurtured argument again, isn't it. I mean,
are some kids just complete loser dropouts and there's nothing
you can do?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Why an't you sounding so big? Then? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm not talking about personal experience. I'm just saying there
must be some families you go, why are you such?
Why are you doing this to us? Like I say,
just don't have them in the first place. You won't
run the risk.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I don't think my parents expected anything of.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Me about it's expectation that you go to work I mean,
if they did, they didn't.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I don't remember them communicating.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It to me.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's hard.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Being the youngest by eight and a half years.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Sort of, they're right out of steam by the time
they get to you. I think you talk okay.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So yeah, Grida Pimberg has basically single handedly ended the.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Gaza conflict. So that's great. What an effective protest that was.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And meanwhile, back here, people making a nuisance of themselves
outside Winston Peter's house. I'm sure that'll be just as effective.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Protest is taking it too far as they did live
streaming from outside the personal home of a member of Parliament,
a cabinet minister, their own personal home where their partner
lives with their children. I'm sure visit grandchildren, where family
friends stop by for a cup of tea. It's their sanctuary.
(06:06):
Everyone who's got a home knows what it feels like.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
They are family photos on the walls, they've got junk
mail in the door. It's someone's home. And some genius
thought it would be a great idea to get a
mob outside a senior minister's home at the weekend, at
nighttime and start yelling it is not a good idea.
It has never been a good idea and it never
will be. They published his address. You might think you
(06:33):
appear harmless with your flags and your balaklavas and you're
yelling with your masks on your faces, but not all
people outside of politics share this view. You can look scary,
intimidating and threatening. So please please carry on protesting. We're
all free to do so, but perhaps next time stop
and think about how your actions might be affecting people
(06:57):
around you, people who aren't in politics or making decisions.
And I think actually today you should take a good
hard look in the mirror, get a pen in a
paper and write a letter to that minister to say sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I think we have passed that, aren't we the pen
and paper letters, they're just doing another live streatment me.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
That's that's how.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You's what we do an apology these days, an apology,
tik tok, a disappearing snapchat. So everybody's having their arms
and legs off, apparently, what's what's all that about?
Speaker 7 (07:35):
That is an incredibly serious thing. Septs us I had
sepsis as a kid.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Blood poison Yeah, blood poisoning. You know, I've you know
a person that was in my family was affected by
blood poisoning and and died. Yeah, and it was it
was so quick how it happened, it was. It was horrific.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Well no, I was two years old and they don't
know how I actually got it. But see that's scar there.
That was where they had to cut me open and
drain my blood. I was in the hospital for about
four months. My poor mum and dad. Actually that was
where mum went gray.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It was.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
That's reasfulious thing.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I find that so terrifying that
that that that can happen. Yeah, and when it does happen,
it's you know, it's like an infection that maybe you
know ninety nine times out of one hundred is fine,
and then you get blood poisoning and it goes that.
That's a part of medicine that I find absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Dean, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (08:31):
Yeah, good, Yeah, mine's not not blood poisoning. And it
was a motorbike accident years and years ago. We're an
old guy. I thought it was a gap in the
traffic and he decided to try and take it and
just ran me over, but basically put the bottom half
of my right legs spun around about a dozen times
at the knee joint and didn't break the bone, and
I got to hospital. I shed the ribs and a
(08:51):
few other things, but that was the main problem. Got
to the hospital, and this is what ninety ninety one.
They didn't have a napasa Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm stopping that now on the grounds of TMI. We
don't want to hear the rest of that story. But
I think this is part of the reason why and
Matt and Tyler have been so excesual since they've have
got together on ZD in the afternoons. They seem to
be able to relate personally to everything that happens. We
heard about Matt heath tramadol addiction last week, now Tyler's
(09:24):
had blood poisoning.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They just they're so relatable.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
News talk ze Bean.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's the secret to Marcus's success as well. Of course,
he's a man of the people, a man of the restaurant,
a man of the birthday in a restaurant.
Speaker 10 (09:40):
I've just had my youngest son's tenth birthday, so there
we go. I've got a ten year old and eleven
year old, which I'm like, step well off, I have
I got them. I suppose so, I suppose in the family.
So that's been exciting. I tell you what always good
to go to a restaurant, A Thai restaurant, I think
it is. It might be Malaysia, I'm actually sure. But
(10:02):
if you tell them beforehand, they will put on the
record of happy Birthday and all the staff come out
and sing. Fantastic. Now, I don't think we've ever done
that in the family before. But the kid wasn't suspecting.
Quite exciting, so that was good.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
I don't know if that's a common thing in places
around the country. Maybe you could tell me. I feel
it's something they probably do it at Denny's or Pizza Hut.
Where do they do that? Where do they do something
special for a birthday, like all the staff get out
and sing. How common is that when every small town
in big town have one of those places. I wouldn't
mind a bit of a clarion call about those places,
because I think there's sort of places we could celebrate
(10:37):
that people get out there and do.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
That for birthdays.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
Yes, he is ten delightful little lad that he is.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I mean, they're both delightful.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
But you know, it's not the other one's birthday today, delightful.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Thursday.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
Back of school today too, after fairy successful school holidays,
so he was skipping as he went back to school.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Anyway, get in touch.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
Oh wait, you know, just be curious though, which places
still do that? Which places still make a song and
dance about birthdays. It'd be better if the restaurant was full,
but you know, on a Friday, on a Monday at
five o'clock, it was pretty well. There's probably thirty, probably
fifteen people there. Although every time I've been there in
(11:19):
someone else's birthday, I'll tell you what, I cheer like
there's no tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
That is fine, isn't it? I do? It is nice.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I always mention if it's somebody's birthday or if it's
our anniversary or whatever, just so I don't All I
really expect is that they just get a little bit
of extra looking after you, maybe get served first, that
sort of thing. I'm not really expecting a cupcake with
a candle in it or anything, although that is great
when that happens. There is the question of how close
(11:51):
to your birthday does it have to be? Like is
your birthday month? If you go out to dinner, you know,
within sort of thirty days.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Of your birthday.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Is that allowed or does it sort of have to
be the same week or what's the what's the rule there?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Presumably there are.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
People who every time they go out they flame us
did birthday or anniversary or.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Promotion?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well, you know, they just received the news that there's kiss,
came back, negatives or you know.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
There's always something to celebrate, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I am a glen heart. That was me celebrating Monday
on Newstalks it B. Let's have a Tuesday celebration tomorrow
on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
