Speaker 1 (00:09):
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 for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I'm Glenn Hart, and we are
looking back at Thursday. What is a smart tool and
does it matter that not every school is using it?
What did Desinder I do? And tell the COVID inquiry
doing the airport drop off? What are your what are
(00:48):
your obligations there? And while we're driving around, have you
ever bought a car that you regretted buying before any
of that?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Iran the ceasefire? Yeehah, let's celebrate. Hang on, Should we
welcome a ceasefire? Use? Of course we should. Should we
count on it holding No, of course not.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
The Iranians now can troll as straight that they didn't
control before the war, and the Israelis are still dropping
bombs in Lebanon, even though this cease fire apparently says
that they shouldn't be doing that. In fact, both sides
now seem to be claiming that they're talking about completely
different ten point plans. These are the things you can't control,
but on the things we can. Does anybody else feel
(01:28):
a bit relieved about the grown ups we have in
charge at home? Nikola Willis has risen to the occasion, clear, concise,
across the detail, realistic about what government can and can't
do to fix everybody's problems. You'll remember when this all
kicked off, I said that they had very few political
choices given how hard they fought Labour's COVID spending and
(01:48):
its effect on inflation. So the targeted, temporary, timely, the
three t's, the motto seems to have been for now
the right call cometh, the hour cometh the woman. If
there was to be a leadership spill in national her
performance I think in this crisis has put her to
the top of the list of contenders. And Winston Peters
for all the cries and please for him to thump Trump,
(02:12):
to criticize, to protest, to play the role of the ICC.
He's held his nerve and he's kept his thoughts to himself.
Some argue that shows weakness, but I think most key
wees know what he's doing is protecting us from the
wrath of a very sensitive, vindictive president. This situation is
far from done and dusted, but it's shown us we
(02:34):
have competent political and diplomatic leaders who are realistic about
what they can and can't control.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I felt quite proud of myself, quite pleased with my
effort on the Breakfast Show the other day Wednesday morning,
our time, because I noticed that there was a post
from the Pakistani Prime minister and basically that was the
(03:04):
first sign that there was a way for Trump not
to end civilization with this whole two week.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Holding pattern.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That was with the first suggestion of that, And I said, hey,
Mike Hosking, have you seen this and so?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And then he told.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Everybody about it, and I'm pretty sure that was the
first anybody in New Zealand heard of that happening. So
I was like responsible for like breaking news in this
country sort of.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You don't care, Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So? I don't understand the significance of this story at all.
There's something called smart apparently, and some schools aren't doing
it and some are supposed to be, and Erica Stanford
wants them to be, but isn't too fast if they
had not. Andrew Dickens seems exercised about it.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
If you look up how many schools are catering for
kids age three to ten and a half thousand odd
schools catering for those kids. So when you look at
the one thousand and fifty seven, let's round it up
to eleven hundred versus the two thousand, five hundred schools,
guess what it shows that the national app takes. It's
at just over forty percent. Remember this is in just
(04:25):
a couple of weeks, nine days. According to the minister
this morning and this morning, as you heard just now,
she said, two hundred and fifty thousand students are in
the program, so it has gone up from the two
twenty four she said three days ago, so more people
are slowly coming to the program over the first two
weeks of its uptake. However, when it comes to this
news story, it appears to me that both the Minister
(04:48):
and the unions are pretty much correct. They've rounded to
make it easier to talk about, to make a bullet point,
but they're pretty much correct. The union is in fact
wrong though, when it says sixty percent haven't signed up,
it's more like fifty five. Let's call it fifty. If
we're doing all the rounding, shall we? But Erica is
(05:09):
boasting and saying, look at this, half the schools have
signed up already. So of course the government says the
tool it's about giving parents clearer, more consistent information about
how their child is progressing at school. But the critics
say the slow sign up rape shows that schools are
not convinced.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I mean, obviously I'm not invested in this at all,
given that I don't have school age kids anymore. But
even the parents who do, do you reckon? Any of
them have got any idea what this is about and care?
Surely they are just like I was when I was
a parent of school age kids. They just want their
(05:48):
kids to go away from them for as long as possible.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Every day. It's all care about you smart? Don't you smart?
Just take them? Please? You talk sib Right.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to
get away from COVID.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I thought it wasn't a thing anymore, but we.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Still keep digging up stuff about it, like what just
Cinda did or didn't say to the COVID inquiry.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Now there is nothing particularly newsworthy in it. It is
more noteworthy because of what is not. In the transcript,
there is no regret, no apologies, no sorries, which I
suppose you wouldn't expect, right, because this is not unusual
from the crew who ran our lives during COVID. The
exchanges are pretty much as evasive as you would expect
them to be, Like this one about the mandates. The
(06:33):
commission chair says, it would be remiss of me not
to put this question to you. You divided the nation.
Ja Cinda Ardurn replies, in what regard? I mean, she
knows it.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
What regard? There was a bloody protest below her office
in the beehive. Then there's the over explaining that we
used to do. There is the flannel that we used
to like. When she was asked if she has regrets
and she replies, regrets a curious word. It's interesting timing
that the transcript is in the news today because of course,
the now Emmy nominated documentary hit Netflix just a few
(07:04):
days ago, and it's got people discussing her again. I
bumped into someone.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
The beach over the Easter weekend who said they just
watched it the night before and wanted to discuss it.
I have a friend on maternity leave who's halfway through
it and wanted to discuss it. And if you like
me and you watch it, you're going to have mixed emotions.
I think after watching it, I'm not proud of New
Zealand for driving that family out of the country. I
would like to think that we're better than that. But
(07:28):
at the same time, like we said yesterday about Kanye
West being pulled from the festival in the UK, accountability
really matters. It's an important principle and Jacinda has dodged
accountability all the way through since she quit. Before she
lost the election, she refused to give public evidence to
the Royal Commission. I think though, the accountability she hasn't
managed to avoid is when she bumps into ordinary kiwis
(07:50):
on the street and they tell her what they think,
and so she had to leave the country. Now we
will never know if things would be less hostile towards
Jacinda if she just fronted up to that inquiry and
public rather than giving this evidence behind closed doors. We
will never know because it will never happen. But I'll
tell you what we can be sure of. Even if
she'd done, it would just be more of the same flannel, wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It I mean, I'd like to think that we're not
the kind of country that runs a person out of
town for any reason.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Is there not a way that she could have hugged
her way out of it? I think she was pretty
famous for hugging people. Wasn't she just send their idea
and that it'd be the oldermate sort of turned the
other cheek.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Isn't it as somebody came up to her and blamed
her for all the bad stuff that happened during COVID,
she could just go.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Hey, shall we just hug it out?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
All right, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I feel like I kept saying this in this podcast today.
Is it because I just got up too early this morning?
I find it very difficult to have sympathy with people
who have to get up early in the morning for
whatever reason.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
I'm fading fast, people, I'm fading fast on the show
to get up at four o'clock this morning to take
my parta Tracy to the airport.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
It's very early, doors, mate, and you had to race
to get there.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And is that an.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Obligate within a relationship that if your partner's going overseas,
youve got to take them to their point? Because I felt,
I said, I said, yeah, yeah, I says, I says,
I says, oh yeah, well I'll do it. But then
this morning I was like, I woke up with the
alarm and I said, get an uber and they didn't
go down well, so I had to get up and
take her. And now I've been up for a very
very long time. And the problem is, by the time
(09:28):
she gets back from overseas, you've forgotten about this. So
I don't even get any browny points for it, will
I exactly.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
I think with the uber thing, you've got to float
there at least a week in advance, because you know
you're going to get hassled for it, and you need
that time to smooth the waters until they realize it's
not actually a bad idea because it's going to come
and return right where you need to get up early
and Tracy needs to run you to the airport at
four point thirty am.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And you say, he remember that, I'd never ask you
just take an uber. I'd just get myself to their port.
I'd never ask.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Well, you're the better man in that relationship.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
Once you've been asked, you have to do it. Yeah,
So some asking can be an aggressive move.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I just would never ask. I think there's a cutoff,
because because.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Once you ask, if I say no, then I'm the
bad guy, right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I think there's a cutoff.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
I think if it's if it's before five a in
the morning, get an uber, and if it's later than
ten pm, get an uber.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Depends where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Some of us live quite a long way away from
an international airport, and an uber would be prohibitively. You
don't want to be spending more on an uber than
you do on your flight. Also, please don't say am
in the morning, Tyler, Just a little programming note there.
And also don't complain about getting up at four o'clock
(10:37):
to somebody who gets up at ten to three every day.
And also, I actually do sympathize with Matt a little bit.
I've forgotten. I don't know how to get out of this.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I forg.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Domestic manager is going away on business next week, and
I know there was talk at some stage about me
dropping her off at the airport and picking her up again.
And I don't know if she goes on a lot
of trips, and I don't know if it was for
this trip or not. I'm a bit afraid to ask,
because I think I'm supposed to know these things.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I don't know what to do about that. Imagine if
you listened to this podcast, Imagine the trouble I'd be,
and then news talk z it Bean, we're going to
finish up here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know why Tim was talking about this last night,
perhaps just buying and selling cars as top of mind
at the moment with so many people launching themselves head
first into the EV market. But he was talking about
buyers regret with cars and if you've ever bought one
(11:45):
that year, you probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
I nearly bought an Audi station Wagon, which sounds way
fancier than I am. It was six thousand dollars, so
it had done like two hundred thousand k's. But I
was like, oh, this is some years ago. I was
as I say, I was like, ooh, I might be
driving an Audi station Wagon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
In fact I will.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
I'm going to get it. Yes, it's done two hundred
and something thousand k's, but who cares? Doesn't it look
shiny and wonderful. And I got my friend to come along,
Who's he's like a horse whisperer for cars. He can
just sense and he straight away was like this car
has been in a major head on collision and I'm like, what, No,
it hasn't. And then he had a proper look inside
(12:30):
it and I never really saw the evidence that he saw.
But he knows his cars. He can build cars, so
he really knows his cars. And so I didn't get
the Uti station Wagon and I got the v Dub
station Wagon, which the car regret actually with that v
dub was more minor one initially, which is that it
(12:52):
had a mini disc player rather than a CD player
or a tape player. And I didn't realize. I just
saw the console and it looked like a proper sterio.
And then it wasn't for a couple of days where
I realized a mini disc player. Who at v dub
and it was the Japanese v dub who at v
(13:13):
dub was like, yes, mini discs are going to be
here for so long. I'm so confident. In fact, let's
put a mini disc player in our cards.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Wow. That brings up PTSD for me.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Because my main experience using a mini disc was when
I used to do the State. I used to run
the stadium sound at Chiefs games back when the Super
Rugbys were first started, and I used to have all
the songs and sound effects and things, you know, if
(13:51):
somebody was backchatting the ref, I'd.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Play yanked, yact, don't talk back.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And all that sort of cool stuff, hilarious, and I'd
have those all queue up on mini disk and I
could just flip through the mini disk and play each
one and then one time when it was the new
Albany Stadium at the time.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
This is how old the story is and how many
discs are.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, it was the first big game at Albany Stadium,
and long story short, I managed to erase the entire
many disc just before the pre show entertainment was due.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To start, so I had a.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I think it's about twenty three thousand people in the
stadium something like that, and I had nothing to play.
Could have been worse, though, I could have owned a
V Dub or an Audi Japanese v DUB.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I mean, people was such a thing.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I thought he was just going all European there. I
would never buy European, just because as much as I
liked the look of an especially ourdys well most oudis
just because the maintenance costs always seem to be so
much higher aren't they. There's certain there are certain levels
(15:06):
of car ownership that you feel comfortable. Let like, obviously
I'd never buy a new car because of the depreciation
as soon as you drive it off the lot. And
then below that there's European cars of any kind. Some
people seem to like them, but again I think it's
(15:26):
they're just too experience that they're too expensive to run.
Over time, this is ended up more boring than I
thought it was going to be. I thought it was
going to be quite entertaining with the car stuff. But
you stopped listening, haven't you. Oh I hope you come
back next week. I'll try and get my act together.

my parta Tracy to the airport.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
It's very early, doors, mate, and you had to race
to get there.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And is that an.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Obligate within a relationship that if your partner's going overseas,
youve got to take them to their point? Because I felt,
I said, I said, yeah, yeah, I says, I says,
I says, oh yeah, well I'll do it. But then
this morning I was like, I woke up with the
alarm and I said, get an uber and they didn't
go down well, so I had to get up and
take her. And now I've been up for a very
very long time. And the problem is, by the time
(09:28):
she gets back from overseas, you've forgotten about this. So
I don't even get any browny points for it, will
I exactly.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
I think with the uber thing, you've got to float
there at least a week in advance, because you know
you're going to get hassled for it, and you need
that time to smooth the waters until they realize it's
not actually a bad idea because it's going to come
and return right where you need to get up early
and Tracy needs to run you to the airport at
four point thirty am.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And you say, he remember that, I'd never ask you
just take an uber. I'd just get myself to their port.
I'd never ask.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Well, you're the better man in that relationship.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
Once you've been asked, you have to do it. Yeah,
So some asking can be an aggressive move.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I just would never ask. I think there's a cutoff,
because because.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Once you ask, if I say no, then I'm the
bad guy, right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I think there's a cutoff.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
I think if it's if it's before five a in
the morning, get an uber, and if it's later than
ten pm, get an uber.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Depends where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Some of us live quite a long way away from
an international airport, and an uber would be prohibitively. You
don't want to be spending more on an uber than
you do on your flight. Also, please don't say am
in the morning, Tyler, Just a little programming note there.
And also don't complain about getting up at four o'clock
(10:37):
to somebody who gets up at ten to three every day.
And also, I actually do sympathize with Matt a little bit.
I've forgotten. I don't know how to get out of this.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I forg.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Domestic manager is going away on business next week, and
I know there was talk at some stage about me
dropping her off at the airport and picking her up again.
And I don't know if she goes on a lot
of trips, and I don't know if it was for
this trip or not. I'm a bit afraid to ask,
because I think I'm supposed to know these things.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I don't know what to do about that. Imagine if
you listened to this podcast, Imagine the trouble I'd be,
and then news talk z it Bean, we're going to
finish up here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know why Tim was talking about this last night,
perhaps just buying and selling cars as top of mind
at the moment with so many people launching themselves head
first into the EV market. But he was talking about
buyers regret with cars and if you've ever bought one
(11:45):
that year, you probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
I nearly bought an Audi station Wagon, which sounds way
fancier than I am. It was six thousand dollars, so
it had done like two hundred thousand k's. But I
was like, oh, this is some years ago. I was
as I say, I was like, ooh, I might be
driving an Audi station Wagon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
In fact I will.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
I'm going to get it. Yes, it's done two hundred
and something thousand k's, but who cares? Doesn't it look
shiny and wonderful. And I got my friend to come along,
Who's he's like a horse whisperer for cars. He can
just sense and he straight away was like this car
has been in a major head on collision and I'm like, what, No,
it hasn't. And then he had a proper look inside
(12:30):
it and I never really saw the evidence that he saw.
But he knows his cars. He can build cars, so
he really knows his cars. And so I didn't get
the Uti station Wagon and I got the v Dub
station Wagon, which the car regret actually with that v
dub was more minor one initially, which is that it
(12:52):
had a mini disc player rather than a CD player
or a tape player. And I didn't realize. I just
saw the console and it looked like a proper sterio.
And then it wasn't for a couple of days where
I realized a mini disc player. Who at v dub
and it was the Japanese v dub who at v
(13:13):
dub was like, yes, mini discs are going to be
here for so long. I'm so confident. In fact, let's
put a mini disc player in our cards.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Wow. That brings up PTSD for me.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Because my main experience using a mini disc was when
I used to do the State. I used to run
the stadium sound at Chiefs games back when the Super
Rugbys were first started, and I used to have all
the songs and sound effects and things, you know, if
(13:51):
somebody was backchatting the ref, I'd.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Play yanked, yact, don't talk back.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And all that sort of cool stuff, hilarious, and I'd
have those all queue up on mini disk and I
could just flip through the mini disk and play each
one and then one time when it was the new
Albany Stadium at the time.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
This is how old the story is and how many
discs are.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, it was the first big game at Albany Stadium,
and long story short, I managed to erase the entire
many disc just before the pre show entertainment was due.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To start, so I had a.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I think it's about twenty three thousand people in the
stadium something like that, and I had nothing to play.
Could have been worse, though, I could have owned a
V Dub or an Audi Japanese v DUB.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I mean, people was such a thing.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I thought he was just going all European there. I
would never buy European, just because as much as I
liked the look of an especially ourdys well most oudis
just because the maintenance costs always seem to be so
much higher aren't they. There's certain there are certain levels
(15:06):
of car ownership that you feel comfortable. Let like, obviously
I'd never buy a new car because of the depreciation
as soon as you drive it off the lot. And
then below that there's European cars of any kind. Some
people seem to like them, but again I think it's
(15:26):
they're just too experience that they're too expensive to run.
Over time, this is ended up more boring than I
thought it was going to be. I thought it was
going to be quite entertaining with the car stuff. But
you stopped listening, haven't you. Oh I hope you come
back next week. I'll try and get my act together.
