You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said b

Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Bean for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Thursday. Power prices have got some
people feeling the cold given that it's you know winter.
Were you involved in the Quantus data breach? I have
(00:44):
a funny feeling Ryan was getting your wisdom teeth out.
It sounds like a terrible way to spend your school holidays.
And we will find out how Cirie votes. This is
an exciting end of the podcast, but at the beginning
of it, we're going to talk about a British politician
who went blood, blood, blood yesterday in the house.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You'd have to be heartless not to feel for the woman,
because it is incredibly clear that she is trying so
hard not to cry, but she cannot help her. But
women have got to stop crying in public. If you
cannot stop yourself crying in public because it is too much,
get up, leave the room, do it privately. I was
reading Jacinta's book last night again. I mean talk about crying.
There's another crier. And in it she tells the story
(01:24):
of being pregnant and talking to a successful corporate woman
at a function and she couldn't find a word that
she was looking for, and she said to the woman, oh, baby, brain,
and then she laughed, and the woman didn't laugh. The
woman looked at her with a stern face and said
to her, you can never say that. You can never
say that. And the reason is because it's obvious. Because
(01:45):
if she says that in public, Jasinda Ardourn's opponents would
have seized on it, but also people in general would
have seized on it as an example that women cannot
do significant jobs while being pregnant and being mums, and
the same is unfortunately true for Rachel Reeves. There will
be people who will seize on this as an example
that women cannot handle significant and stressful jobs because women
are inherently more emotional. Now I realize that what I
(02:07):
am saying is controversial because we have been told time
and time again by people like John Cowan that we're
not supposed to bottle things up and we are supposed
to talk about it. But I think we've gone completely
in the other direction. We're now at risk of oversharing
everything that we're feeling by all means, talk about it.
Talk to the people closest to you, Cry all you
like behind closed doors to them. But if you're going
to cry in public, leave the room, especially for God's sake,
(02:30):
if you're a woman in a big job, because it
reflects on all women.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh my goodness, I hope that doesn't come back to
Hornt either. Mind you, I don't think I've ever seen
her cry. I think I'm definitely more of a cry
baby than than here.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
There is.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Something's happened to me as I've got older, But I
just tear up the slightest provocation, you know, the final
season of a show that you're binge watching. Does it
have happened to you? No? Just me, Okay, let's carry
on us talk right, power prices, power supply, power, power,
(03:08):
power power. This woman's kind of bought it. It's got
to business that she's just decided to stay in bed.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I'm in bed, I'm cold, I'm miserable, I've got no
lights on, I'm listening to the radio and pretty much
this is my life.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Now.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Where do you live Wellington? Whereabouts of Wellington? Because there's
Wellington and there's Wellington. I mean, if you're up in
up in Kelbourne.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Pardon, I'm an upper heart erhart.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
There's some very cold parts of Wellington. I used to
live in to Ara Valley, Oh my lord, and.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
There was minus one degrees.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Yesterday, Oh dear. Okay, so you're still in bed is?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yeah, well, I can't afford to heat my house. I
lived with my special needs adult, so I allow him
to have a hether on because if he gets sick,
we can't afford to go to the doctors. We'd have
to wait or I've been waiting seven weeks for an
(04:12):
appointment to see my GP prices and GPS have just
gone up too, by the way, but my power I
was on the low user rate and I also have
gas hot water, so I get that double when with
the high increase now of the daily charge. Well for
both of them. My powerble's gone from last year and
winter two hundred and eleven dollars to three hundred and eighty.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Well, okay, yeah, I mean, all these little things all
add up, don't they. And people make changes to all
sorts of stuff and then all of a sudden they
don't realize the cumulative effect of it mean that you're
you're actually really paying through the nose. Now, can I
just say, do you resent being in bed? Or are
you quite liking it?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That's the other thing I've found as I've got older,
I just love being in bed. I wish I could
do this job from in bed. I probably can, except
I don't think i'd be very popular with the other
person and the dog who are also in bed. But
you know, what are we dealing with here. It's seven
minutes to five in the morning. I don't think they'd
be super excited about me recording a podcast while they're
(05:14):
trying to, you know, be unconscious. Yeah, that it never worked.
Stupid idea US talk Sam. It seems like every second
day there's a massive data breach, isn't there. I think
we've all just resigned ourselves to the fact that all
our passwords and contact details are out there. It's only
a matter of time before we all lose our identity,
(05:35):
isn't it yesterday?
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Six million conscious customers names, email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates,
frequent flyer numbers, you name it. Apparently everything but the
credit card data. Thank god. Now, if you can keep
your credit card data safe, but not the rest of it,
then why not the added layers of protection for everything
(05:56):
else the date of birth? Please, Honestly, at this point,
who cares? The information that was taken is bad enough?
And what will they do? Apologize? Send a letter, and
then move on until it all happens again, which it will.
We should have instant and highly aggressive fines for this
type of thing happening. Once your private data is hacked
(06:18):
from your third party customer service center, there is no
getting it back. It can and will be used sold
on the black market to gangs of losers wanting to
rip us off. They've opened a can of worms for us.
The sooner these guys get properly punished, and I'm not
talking just about quantits, but multinationals and big companies in particular,
(06:40):
for being so cavalier with our information, the sooner it
might stop getting stolen, and then they might also start
asking themselves whether they really need our personal details and
so many of them in the first place.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I think you do need quite a few details to
go from one country to another.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They do.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They are quite fussy about that sort of thing, in
some countries more than others. Obviously, I'm not quite sure
how you get around that unless you're like a secret agent.
And then I guess you just give them fake details
you school now at school holiday's time. Apparently I'm sort
(07:20):
of immune to this these days, which is nice. Because
I hated school. I never wanted to think about it,
and then of course I had kids, and then they
went to school, and then I was thinking about it again,
and then instead of being at school, they were, you know,
basically in my funeral vicinity, and that was annoying. But
(07:44):
as resentful as I always felt about having my kids
around when they could have been somewhere else, at least
I never made them have mouth surgery.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
I managed to totally and utterly ruin one of my
teenagers holidays school holidays today, nothing to do with the weather.
In fact, this child actually quite likes a rainy day.
I took her to count you're quite bad about this,
(08:16):
so I took her to get full wisdom, teeth removed, impacted,
required general anesthetic. And gee, she's a brave sausage, she
really is. She's so staunched she deals with it all.
(08:37):
And you know, I did it on the recommendation of
the author Dantist. You know, when you've spent a bit
of money making sorting out that mouth, and they suggesting
to you it's going to be good in the long
run to get those teeth out. And thankfully, I'm very
pretty you know, we hit health insurance and so I
could do it, and you know, I was sort of
(08:57):
told this would be good. It avoids, you know, having
problems with the bacteria and infections, and then you know
some are only sometimes only the bottom teeth come up
or only the top teeth come down, and if that
alters how you buy it, then it alters how your
teeth move, apparently, And I got told all this stuff.
I'll tell you what. When I sat there watching this
(09:19):
kid come out of this anesthetic, the nurse is very
sweetly trying to wake her up, and let's distress the
the lemonade pop scill matter because they're very key to
get it to start swallowing.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah. So, I guess if you are a parent, the
lisson there is and you're you know, you're at your
WIT's end with your kids going I'm for awed. I've
got nothing to do. You can just say shut up,
or I'll take you to the dental surgeon.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
News talks it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Been all right, I couldn't remember the name of what
a dental surgeon is there. I know it's not called
a dental surgeon. I mean, I could have looked it up.
But you know, as I mentioned before, it's nearly five o'clock,
I've got to get out of here. We'll finish up
here finding out. Oh yes, that's right. This is the bombshell.
How does Kerrie vote? Who does she vote for?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Maurice says, how could anyone vote for the Labor Party
after the last six years? Nothing's changed with them at all.
They have no idea. Consider myself a swing voter, but
it makes me want to jump on the first aircraft
out of here at the thought of another run of
Hipkins and co ses Marie well quite and especially without
them seeming to have learned a single solitary thing. Well,
(10:34):
certainly the way Chris Hipkins is selling it. No, no,
it wasn't our fault. No no, it wasn't our fault
that the motels in Rotterdua were filled with people who
had nowhere else to go, who had so many social problems,
and made Rotaldua a hellhole for a while. No, that
wasn't our problem. No, no, we didn't cause that that
(10:55):
was just poor advice. We were told that all sixty
motels were full of rotordua homeless, that there were support
structures around them, and they believed it, despite story after story,
despite letter after letter from Russell Touis Mayor. Yeah, right,
(11:15):
But then I would say that because we work on
a right wing station. He Chrishipkins was on with Nick
Wills and Nick Milson Wellington yesterday. Oh well, bloody right
wing station of yours. Well, I think some of the
hosts the right wing. I'm certainly leaning right wing after
the last six years. I do not know how anyone couldn't.
(11:38):
I mean, you know, and I will gladly vote Labor again,
provided they come up with sensible, sound policies and structures.
I voted Labor more often than I have National. But
how anyone I'm with Marie could think that having Labor
and in its current form, with Hipkins still at the helm,
(12:02):
which I shall certainly tell him next Thursday when he
pops in for a visit to this right wing stay,
probably have to have a shower and wash all those
nasty right wing goobi is off and once he's finished
being in the building. But there we go. Where are we?
(12:24):
Only two thousand government jobs have been lost. They've got
no excuses for delaying any information requests. They're talking about
this in the past as well. This has been going
on for nine years, so it's been a success succession
of governments of different hues who have come in. Nicola
(12:46):
is finding it just how difficult it is to balance
the books. It's so easy in opposition to be critical.
I just wish all politicians would be more honest with us. All. Well,
that's what Nichola was trying to do, but stymied by
her own coalition partners.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Wow, very frank about it, isn't it. I Mean most
hosts I with over the years, they sort of like
to keep it on the down load. I mean they
don't really because you can usually tell from their opinions
about things which way they're voting. But they always, you know,
don't like to actually, you know, specifically say it. But
I guess curious just an open book, isn't she love Kerry?
(13:25):
I am? I am. I almost forgot who I was.
I am Gillian Hart. That has been news talk zed
being Sometimes I just never get round of voting at
all because I all think I think they're all idiot,
and I just can't bring myself to vote.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
For an idiot.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is there a reason for not voting? I feel like
it's not a bad one anyway. That applies more to
local body elections than national ones really, But still, there
are a lot of idiots out there, aren't they. This
one's in here, and he'll be back in here again
on Monday with the weekend edition of this.
