You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said b
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean First
with yesterday's news, I am Glen Heart. We're looking back
at Thursday. You can get everything at Bunnings, including facial recognition,
awesome push mowers. Why are they still the thing? And
why people still using them? Redheads are on the rise.
(00:46):
And I know we're doing this two days in a row,
but I couldn't resist podcast relett I love it, You
love it, everybody loves it. So we're going to do
that to finish the week before any event. Instead of
going to your doctor, you're going to go to your
pharmacist now.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And why wouldn't you Because it's just low level medications.
It's pam all, maybe some eye drops for what seemed
to me to be fairly common and uncompil caated illnesses
like conjunctivitis or head lice. And the pharmacists this is
not anything new for the pharmacists. The pharmacists are already looking
at the conjunctivitis and going, oh you mate, that's been conjunctivitis,
you need the eye drops. They're already dispensing the medications.
(01:22):
The only difference is now if this proposal goes through
that they will hand out the medication at the same
subsidized price that you would get if you'd gone to
the GP first. You're not gonna have to buy it
over the counter for the full price. And the good
news with that why this makes it a no brainer
is that it takes pressure off the GP or the
ED that poor people will have to go see first
if they wanted to get the medication for cheap or
(01:42):
for free. And then b also, it saves time for
patients having to go you know, they don't have to
go through all the fath of going to see a
doctor first. So who would moan about this? Let me
tell you who would moan about this. Gen pro gen
Pro's moaned about it. The GP Advocacy group. They are
warning that this runs, this runs the risk of misdiagnosis
because maybe a pharmacist may look at that conjunctivitis and go, oh,
(02:03):
look it's a PUSSII. Here are some eye drops, but
not realize actually it's caused by an air infection. Now,
please remember These are farmists who are pharmacists who are
already doing this diagnosis. The only difference is what you
pay for the medication, so the misdiagnosis may already be happening.
So why are they really moaning about this? Let me
tell you why, because Jim pro knows this is going
(02:23):
to take pressure off GPS, and that's going to undermine
the thing they actually want, which is that they want
their GPS to get me under pressure so they can
moan about their GPS being under pressure so they can
get more money for the overworked doctors. Frankly, they should
just be honest, because they may well have a decent
argument to mount, and I suspect they do, but they're
not going to convince many people with the straw Man argument.
They just sound like a pack of mona's dumping on
(02:44):
a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's another classic case of people finding reasons not to
do things instead of finding reasons to do things, which
I think is the thing perhaps that holds this country
back more than anything else. I'm prone to blood noses
for some reason. It just seems to be some kind
of genetic fallibility, and I have in the past been
(03:07):
prescribed medication to stick up my nose to stop them
from happening, which is great. And then when I went
to get some more of it from the pharmacist because
I thought, oh, this is just a tube avointment to
stick up your nose, they said I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Allowed it without a prescription.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So hopefully this might sort that and I won't have,
you know, blood on my pillow cases and then which
it eventually seeks through to your pillow.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Of course, there's nothing we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Me to wash a pillow.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
News talk Ze Beam.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm not sure if they sell pillows at Bunnings. They
seld us about everything else, but now they also will
have your face on record too.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Again, why are we worried about this?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And people will come on and say, oh, this is
no problem, no problem at all, mate. If you've got
nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. And later
it we'll take years. But by bit, little by little,
our personal freedom and liberty is being stripped and replaced
by an all powerful state monitoring every step and then
(04:11):
controlling the way we behave. It's the threat of big Brother.
But the difference now that time has passed, is not
actually the state that's doing all the facial recognition. It's
the corporate world. So it's not the stay, it's the corporates,
and the corporates seem to want to know every little
thing about us. Your phone is monitoring where you are,
what you do, what you look at is telling you
(04:33):
what to think. I get tired of being told what
I should be listening to next by Spotify because they've
looked at what I've listened to before and said, well
this is you, and I go, well, actually, I'm a broader,
wider person than that, and stop bothering me. I'm tired
of my car telling me how to drive. You're tired here,
it is a flat. Would you like to check into
the service center? No, I would not. I don't have
(04:53):
the time right now. Would you shut up?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Car?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I'm trying to drive anyway. Facial recognition technology, do you
have any problem with it? And I know you what
you do, because look how long it's taken to get approval,
how many people have had conniptions about it and had
worries about it, and the Privacy Commissioner has spent your
millions on it just investigating this sort of thing. Is
(05:16):
the rise and ryants a big brother or is this
necessary as we fight crime?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The privacy horse has folded along with the crusader's horses.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Of course, we don't have privacy anymore. There's no point
trying to protect it. It's not a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't know how comfortable I am with Andrew Dickens
impersonating Layton Smith on you like that.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm not really talking about the quality of the impersonation.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Which is up for debate, but you know, the time
slot that he is doing at the moment is the
same one that Layton Smith used to occupy before Kerry
started doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You've talk zibban, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I feel like Bett and Tyler have talked about this before,
but maybe not. Tyler a bit slow with the technologief.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
What's happening here?
Speaker 7 (06:10):
You know, I've had this push my as and there's
no motor to it. It's just one of those old
school you get behind it and you give some human power.
And I've decided if you've got to catch you with that,
yeah you got to catch you with that? Yeah yeah, yeah,
just dump down in the back of the reserve. No
problem there. But I've decided finally that I'll upgrade to
an actual proper moa here. But here's my question for you.
So I've looked at the petrel quite like the petrol
ones that are a lot cheaper than the electric wounds.
(06:32):
A lot of people get still the electric ones are okay,
But the one I think I've settled on is the
old plug in electric that runs a cord on it.
So the wall hang on. The question I've got for
you is I can save at least fifty percent off
by going with the cord over just one of those
other battery powered and even the petrel, the old corded ones,
they are the best value for money. But why would
(06:54):
that decision come back to haunt me? I can't see
any downside of just plugging in. We plug into the house,
run an extension cord, and go up and down the
lawn for half the price. That seems like a win
win situation.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You need to the lawns as God intended with a
mass sport petrol lawnmower. They're not even that expensive.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
This is a classic case of everybody will have their
own opinion based on whatever it is that they do.
It is a bit like the ev thing that as
soon as somebody owns one, they then feel the need
to convince everybody else that they should have one as well.
And I'm that way with Lawmars. I have a still
electric one that's battery powered, and that same battery also
(07:38):
runs my line trimmer and my leaf blower, and it's fantastic.
So I have two batteries, so while I'm using one,
I can charge the other. And so there you go.
I'm better now because I know that Tyler will be
listening in. I'm sure he's got it like a Google alert,
some kind of AI Jim and I set up. As
soon as his name's mentioned. He will then have to
(08:00):
go and listen to people talking about him. And at
this point I say, stop pushing a push ma around,
you idiot, and get yourself the glorious power of us. Still, so,
red heads are on the rise, apparently, this news courtesy
of rhyin Bridge.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
So we used to think natural selection was changing just
a dozen genes. Now they reckon it's hundreds of genes.
In modern times. You know Celiac disease that's now more common,
and you might think, why, who doesn't love pasta and oats? Right?
You'd think evolution would edit out something like Celiac disease
but no, because the gene actually increases your resistance to
(08:40):
a whole bunch of germs and bacteria, so you're less
likely to die. You're more likely to live longer, and
the longer you live, the more likely you are to
pass that gene onto your kids. That's how natural selection works.
The gene for narrow wastes has become more common. This is,
according to the research, because we didn't need to store
as much fat. You know, when we were hunting gathering,
(09:02):
we had to store a lot of fat because we
didn't know when the next meal was coming. Now we're farming,
we don't need to do it. Although you wouldn't know
that walking around the supermarket and checking out people's bellies,
would you. Redheads, it's your time to shine. The redhead gene,
the MC one R. It's become more common in recent history.
It's popular more gingers than ever before, More gingers than
(09:23):
you can shake a stick out. Congratulations. The only risk
mystery in this whole story is why there is no
obvious survival advantage to being a ginger other than I
suppose looking fabulous.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, but that's how evolution works.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
If everybody of your species prefers you because you look
a certain way, you will breed more that.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's that the whole.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
It's quite important, but it is a bit confused. I've
always been confused by the red headed thing because it's
always been my understanding that was a recessive I learn
about this. It's called recessive genes and dominant genes, and
I always thought that the recessive genes were likely to
eventually be bred out. And yet if there are more
(10:10):
redheads than ever before, I don't know what's it. Thank
you Ryan for bringing that to our attention. He does
that every and now and again with his editorials. Instead
of talking about actual news, he talks about whatever that
was news talk and that wasn't even podcast Roulett. This
(10:33):
has been the most fun news storks they've been. I've
had for ages. Let's play that podcast Roulette with the
master of it, Marcus. Oh sorry. The cut is called
the rice is a metaphor, and I have no idea
what that.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Means, Marcus.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
People aren't getting it. It's not the rice. It's a metaphor.
It's symbolicable the other frustrations. A young man like me
feelds to all that is wrong, Criminals walking the streets,
free bus stops built in the car lane, holding up
traffic and emergency vehicles. The sheer wastage and incompetency of
government leadership on both sides, forced vaccinations, woke ideologies, so
(11:08):
called man made the so called man made climate change.
The list goes on and on. It's not about the rice.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Never been to an Indian restaurant and paid extra for rice?
So the rice is a metaphor. If the rice is
a metaphor for everything is wrong, then are we not
in a situation where people are just going out of
their way to find things to be upset about.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh man, not only has this been one of the
most entertaining newsworks, they had beens in Living Memory.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
What a great podcast roulette to round it up with.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So, as far as I can tell, they were talking
about whether you should have to pay extra for rice
at Indian restaurants and presumably tire restaurants as well. I'm
not sure which East New cuisine you have to go
down before you would just expect to have rice with
the meal, like you know, if it's just a you know,
your standard you know, steak, fish, chicken, or a main
(12:13):
and maybe a curry, you know, obviously you would expect
your rice with that. If they're not going to go, oh,
it'll be extra for the rice with that, are they?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It is so it is interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's the same with payWave charges now that I think
of it, Like if you want to charge people three
dollars extra for rice or whatever, just make the thing
three dollars extra and then people and have free rice.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Great podcast. Really it's really made me think. Love it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Ah man, this is going to be a great Friday,
great weekend, possibly a great year. See you're back here
again on Monday and we'll find out how that weekend end.
