Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart and we
are looking back on Monday more KWI saber chat more
called lunch chat more. I've made a pull out of
the Ocean chat hang on. That's new and we're going
to finish up discussing digital car keys. But before any
(00:44):
of that, while we're talking cars, Liam Lawson's car didn't
make it all the way around the race in the weekend,
but he went fairly quick at one point.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Marcus.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I heard some reports on Liam Lawson's performance on the weekend,
but not much on his laptime, which was the second fastest.
Please be sure to mention this. He just serves some
kudos and what was otherwise at frustrating weekend. Okay, here's
what I want to say about that. From what I read,
the second fastest lap means nothing because you're to compare
(01:16):
likes to likes when it comes to weather and tires
and stuff like that. So it sounded to me like
the spice girl's husband whatever his name was. He was
just trying to find the positive.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It might be my fault. But that's kind of pitchure
I got with that one.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Who's the spice girl's husband. See, this is the trouble
with formula one. There's stuff, new stuff comes up all
the time that you're supposed to know about. And yeah,
it's really come on, guys, stop talking about there's the
sick and fastest la. I mean, if you complete the
(01:55):
second fastest lamp and a ball of wanes, it's not
going to do you much good as it. I mean,
that's not what happened. But I'm just just give him
a chance. Don't worry, don't panic. It's only the first race.
(02:16):
See how it goes.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
News talk Z been right.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So kee we savor, kee We savor. Yeah, I think
we've set on some kind of quota system. Every three
or four weeks we've got to be worried about kere
we savor again, or to remind people that they can
change their Kiwi sabor or s help people not to
catch in their ki We savor.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This just seems to.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Come up in the rotation. Like I said about once
a month, so.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
A number of questions. Can you afford to retire? You know,
if you were, if you would save fifty plus? Could
you afford to retire right now? Should can we savor
be compulsory? Or should you be free to decide how
to save for your future in the best way I
(03:04):
can understand. If you are paying back a student loan
or you're saving for a house, I suppose you can
use the key we save it for that. But if
you're paying back a student loan, you are on the
lowest wage you're going to be on in your life.
Upping your key we save a contribution is going to
seem like a huge chunk of money out of your wage.
(03:25):
You can't possibly afford it. But interestingly, your people who
suddenly lose income do find a way of managing. You
do find a way of cutting your cloth. You do
find a way of living on what you have. If
it's taken out as source, you never miss it. If
you're an employer, can you afford to pay more in
(03:48):
terms of contributions? I suppose you can if your employees
don't get pay rise as if you factor that into account.
But should it go back to the four percent four percent,
which it was supposed to be, but the GFC put
the kibosh on that. And I guess as an employee,
(04:08):
especially if you're young and just starting out, and retirement
just seems like a whole other world away. Should it
be compulsory or do you want to choose where you
put your money? And should more of your paypacket be
taken out at source and put towards the future? You
(04:29):
can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I mean, it's all I've ever wanted to do is retire.
That's been my big ambition in life. If I get
there and find out that I should have been paying
more of my pay now to do it, you know,
really annoyed. I don't want to be working a minute,
(04:50):
a second, a nano sickond longer than I have to
the moment I can retire.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
That seems to be related.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Somehow to getting my kids to leave home as well.
This is an issue that's come out lately because they
did leave and then they came back again, and you know,
it all depends on how much house you've got when
you've paid.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Off your mortgage.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
WI his life so complicated, I just want to not
go to work anymore. I just want to sit on
the couch, mount cheese on stuff and watch my shows.
It's not even allowed to mount cheese on stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Anymore because of.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Polestrol.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Is some money.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You are going to achieve two thirds in the plan.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Anyway, At this point you talk sitty.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Put cheese and the kids lunches. I don't mention the
kids lunches again.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
And I think it's entirely predictable. Offered a free meal,
who says no, except it's not free. You and I
pay for it. But some parents will argue, oh, that's
us getting our tax back. We paid our taxes, we
get a free lunch for Johnny Labor. When they set
this up thought that if one child goes hungry, then
all children should be fed, which is why it got
(06:07):
opened up for exploitation. So how do we fix this? Well,
obviously the help should be targeted at the kids who
are hungry, and if a kid comes to school hungry
and empty handed, then they should be helped. So how
do we do that? And I wonder, how about a
lunch club where the children who come in without food
(06:29):
and are hungry put their hands up and offered a
chance to make a meal for themselves. If they need it,
and maybe they could sit there together and make a
toasted sandwich. Maybe they could make a marm mite sandwich
and make the Prime Minister happy, because remember what is
that Chinese proverb? Give a man a fish, then he
eats for a day. Teach him how to fish, and
(06:51):
he feeds himself for a lifetime. Let's teach these kids
how to make their own lunches.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And I think we should be encouraging kids to take
fish the school for lunch. Imagine the pong then, especially
on a wet day, we've already got the wet jersey smell,
and then you know, and smelly fish lunches into that.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I may have missed the point setting.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It sounds like Ryan had a fun weekend.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
He took his.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Parents for a swim down at the via Act said
we have it.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Well, you don't need a big, fancy, purpose built aquatics
center here, do you. We've got the ocean, aren't we lucky?
And you know all those kids they could afford to
go there because there was nothing to pay. There was
no eighteen dollars entry fee with extra for the diving
board because it's in the ocean, so it's free. Our
(07:46):
councils get funding requests every day and every week up
and down the country. We talk about this absurd funding
requests that they get. Last Friday, we were talking about
how to house the homeless, like it's the council's job.
They get these ridiculous requests every day for funding and
some of the most outrageous White Elephants projects. They've asked
(08:09):
to fund everything under the sun these days, and to
make everything safe for all of the vulnerable people.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Have you noticed that? But what we really need to
do is just readjust our expectations. I reckon.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Not everything can be new and perfect and sparkly and spankly.
Not every road can be run by pedestrians that are
called footpaths, and not every footpath needs a separate cycle way,
and not every cycle way needs.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
To be gold plated.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
Not every road crossing needs to be a raised one.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
What's up with that? Honestly, the number popping up around
my house. I want to drive myself off the side
of a cliff. And why can't a pool be the ocean.
Plenty of kids could have hurt themselves at Wayne Brown's pool,
probably many have, some will get injuries, some may get
bad ones, but most will learn how to keep themselves safe.
(09:09):
That's called life. It can be risky, but very exciting,
and it need not be very expensive.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I'm not sure if I made it clear or if
Ryan made it clear. They've sort of roped off a
bit of the water between the viaduct and Doorthwarf and
sort of turned it into a well, it's won't be
(09:38):
quite so fun in a couple of months time when
it's cold and raining, but yeah, certainly at the moment
it's a bit of.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Cheap entertainment news talk been right.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Have you ever been swimming with your khakes in your pocket?
It's not really a problem if it's just a metal key.
If it's an electric one like most of ours is,
you've got issues of your digital khakis.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
They're becoming more common, offering convenience by allowing drivers to
unlock and start their cars with a smartphone, but there
are big questions around how safe they are. But you
like the idea of not having to have an old analog.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Key, Yeah, I mean it's questions around the safety of
an old analog key because someone can just pick it
up and open your car with it, And if you've
got a fob that then people can just press it
and go and then your lights will flash and then
they'll find out your car is and they'll jump in
it and go away. So I want everything on my phone.
I want an app. Plus, you've just gone through this
where you had to pay seven hundred dollars to get
your key replace.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Yeah, unreal. Just for why we fob My we electric
fob is if that's what you call it, seven.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Hundred bucks, So why are they that expensive?
Speaker 11 (10:46):
Why is it seven hundred dollars or five hundred dollars
as I've had to pay in the past just for
a thing that just opens your car and is the
whole industry rifle disruption? With an app on your phone
if if it's seven hundred dollars to get that key replace.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Yeah, there's something I still don't like about the old
push button start. Doesn't feel right, doesn't feel right, not
putting a physical key into a cart, turning it, getting
that nice sound. It just doesn't feel right.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
No, no, no, no, no, yeah. What kind of carry you
I thought you were?
Speaker 9 (11:16):
There's one that's the batteries obviously died and it clearly I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
So sick of people talking about things like push button
starts and manual gear sticks and the sound of a
V eight throw the hell up. But also, yeah, so
my car, I can start it up with my watch
(11:39):
and that's quite cool. So I can start it without
eat and unlocking it remotely, Why would I want to
do that? Well, when I go to the supermarket and
I've bought some Frozens, as I'm walking out of the
supermarket in the way I started up and by the
time I get to it, the car is pulled down
quite a bit. And that's quite nice to be putting
(12:01):
the chopping into a nice cool car. I can't actually
drive it away. I still need to have the key
in the car, the fob in order to actually make
it go. But I can unlock it and I can
start it for my wife. Isn't that weird? Why can't
I don't know why I can't we right, Matt's is
(12:24):
just your dawn the aty. That's good anyway. I am
glen Hearts. VET has been your motoring Times for another day.
We see you back here with more car news tomorrow,
or we might not meet your.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
