Speaker 3 (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 thurs Day. The alcohol laws in
Auckland are getting a shakeup as to where and when
you can sell it Stoushover. Who's allowed to visit police
stations and who isn't. This is a weird one, mind you.
(00:46):
The weirdness continued in the afternoon with a bit of
toothbrush of talk and well into the night with some
trade me shakeup Securtesy of Marcus Lush. But before any
of that, the old power generation problem, well is it
an old problem? Is it a new problem? It's just
an ongoing problem.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'm sure it would help the mills out of course,
subsidy always helps, doesn't it. But someone as if there's
a subsidy, someone's going to have to pay for it,
and the people who would be paying for that is
you and I the household Because f yi, in case
you didn't know, we are paying so that ty has
got a subsidy at the last estimation, you your household
(01:28):
is paying an extra two hundred dollars a year in
your power bill to make sure that Ty gets a
sweetheart deal with the power two hundred bucks just for
t Y. You want to roll that out to everybody, No,
absolutely not. We can't afford to subsidize these guys up
and down the country. Because if you think power prices
are high right now, they are about to be reset
for us in April next year, it's going to be
a lot higher, never mind us helping the mills out
(01:50):
as well. So we better ditch that idea fast. I mean,
I think what he's trying to do here is that
he's trying to kind of find a bad guy and
pin it on the gent tailors. Make them the bad guy.
We can all hate them, so that you know the
current government's not the bad guy. But we all know
the current government's not the bad guy. We all know
who the bad guy. Labor's the bad guy for killing
(02:10):
the gas industry, because that is our real problem here.
We do not have enough gas. Shane's plan, like Simeon's plan,
has got to be how to get more gas into
this country. Then maybe how we deal with some generation,
some extra generation, and then maybe somewhere down the line,
how to get the gentailers to price more fairly, but
never never to offer sweetheart deals to mills.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Ah complicated, doesn't it? You just don't. Most people don't
even think of this stuff when they switch on the
line run the hot water, do they?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Edge if you felt like super guilty like every time
you switched on a switch, it's a lot of stress
in your life.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
News talk zip bean.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
But if you want to drink that stress away and
make sure you get your booze before nine pm? Said,
are we going back to this? We're going back to
plastic covers over the bear fridge.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Restrict the hours to further have the sinking lid. When
it comes to licensed establishments, encourage people to drink at
licensed restaurants and bars where there's an onus of responsibility
on the managers to ensure that people don't get completely
and utterly off their chops. And that might work. Which,
(03:34):
surely we've got it. Surely we've got enough bottle stores.
Surely we've got enough places to buy alcohol. And if
you can't stagger up the hill to your nearest offfee,
you can order online if you just can't face that,
walk order online sensible normal. We don't want to make
(04:02):
it something glamorous and something prohibited, because that would just
make it more attractive. But just bring the number of
places you can buy it down and the hours in
which you can buy it reduced. Encourage people to go
(04:22):
to bars and restaurants. It's too expensive. Yes, therefore you'll
drink less. Don't have a problem with that at all.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Do you think we will see a time where you know,
much light cigarettes with the you know, the pictures of
the disease organs and stuff like that on the front
of them that you know, you'll have a picture of,
you know, bruised and bleeding face and family, you know,
(04:51):
wife and kids, you know, out on the street. Picture
those sorts of pictures.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The harm that alcohol has on the on the beer bottles,
the wine bottles, the blue bottles, hard to imagine, isn't it.
We're training of thought there. Let's move on us talk
said right, So Ginny Anderson versus Mark Mitchell. I'm saying
to think that these two should just get in the
(05:21):
ring or the mud pit, or I don't know, have
a chess match something sort it out. Well, is Ginny
allowed to visit police stations or not? Marx is not.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Now I just want to read you what he has said.
His office has told us. He says, basically, I would
support such a request if you were going to meet
with the commissioner. I cannot support a generic request to
visit a police station with no context with a week's notice.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Well, I think he's walking that back quite quickly because
he's realized that he has made a mistake. It's a
well established practice that you go to the Minister's office.
Bows myself and Chris Hopkins never made to stop him
from making visits when he was the opposition spokesperson, and
all the information that's required as the date and the
(06:15):
place until you intend to meet with So I think
he's realized that he's reacted in the wrong way.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
So were you just going to bowl up or had
you been contact with someone there to meet with them?
Speaker 7 (06:29):
We'd sort of to the MP on the ground often
makes inquiries, but we wouldn't attend unless the minister had approved.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
But was the meeting did you speak to did you
arrange a meeting with an inspector there and then go
get permission from the minister or did you do the
minister first? And actually you haven't got a specific meeting
in mind.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I think Shannon Halbert had done some preliminary work, but
we wouldn't do that until the minister had approved the meeting.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I love how.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
The irony of this is that most normal people would
do anything to avoid going to a police station. I
know I would. I don't want to be there anyway.
I guess want to sleep them to it, and they'll
probably sort of out of intermance. Right here we go.
(07:23):
Now we're into the real issues of the day. Toothbrush talk.
You've been waiting for this fun, haven't you.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
And Mons gets as we bag out and he gets
his Jarmi's on and then he grab your toothbrush. Mate,
we'll go and clean our teeth.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He gets his.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
Toothbrush, all right, he did have it. The head on
the toothbrush, Oh, it was all scungey. Looked like a
twenty year old Dunny brush. The bristles were all at
right angle. And then when he put then he cleaned
his teeth, he would have given them eight seconds. And
then he spits toothpaste all over the bench. I'm like,
what the hell's going on there?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Especially with your O C D. That would have been
really difficult.
Speaker 11 (08:02):
I couldn't handle it.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
So I'm like, ah, So when I droppedhim off with
his mom, hey, Sam or you mentioned her? Should sorry
not Sam, not that other daughter? No, I said, Love,
would you like me to buy Why didn't you just.
Speaker 10 (08:23):
Do it and just drop it in and leave it
in his toilet bag? Much better idea you're a hopeless grandparent.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Much better idea.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I should have done that.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
But I said, would you like me to buy months
a new toothbrush head? Because that thinks terrible? She goes,
what's wrong with it? I go, have you seen it?
Speaker 11 (08:37):
She goes, yeah, okay, well the bristles are all stuffed.
It's like how old is it? So we had a
bit of a chance. A dad always a dad, your
poor daughters. We had a bit of a chet.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
He stayed last weekend. Get your toothbrush months? All right?
Cheeves comes in, same toothbrush head, brustles everywhere, And so
I don't know, parents are useless.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Wouldn't fly in our house and tell you that the
mister manager works for a general supplies company? And yeah,
one bressel out of place, and either.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It goes or you go news talk Z been.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Right now, Marcus has been on trade me and he's
got some You got some concerns or some Is this
a brick back or a bouquet?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Here?
Speaker 8 (09:27):
Checked on trade me right, went to make a coffee,
came back one of the items that I was bidding
on of one. But you know that's not the interesting thing.
The interesting thing is that they have pay now on PayPal,
(09:48):
which is just clicking it pays. Do you know if
you're someone that sells on trade me, do you know
as a buyer how much easy that is? That means
I can pay for something instantly after I've purchased it.
The alternative for me is actually to contact Vanessa to
confess that I've bought something that maybe I should and
have bought, and then to get heard of phone bank
(10:10):
pay it, which is tapping in all those numbers, takes weeks.
So why would anyone be a seller on trade me
and not have PayPal? Can't work it out. I don't
sell stuff on trade me. I buy stuff. I buy
about ten things a year, But goog, why would you
not have PayPal? Is it hard to set up? Or
something I think I'm going to stop buying anything off
(10:32):
people that don't have it because just to click and pay. Oh,
I love it, and that's it's clean. Next to me,
I knock at the back door, it would be my
brand new things of all or not they were brand
new the second and things I've purchased so so excited
about that. So just a note to sellers on trade me,
always have the PayPal option. I don't know what it requires,
(10:54):
but I love it.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
It's just so much easier.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
I buy a lot more things if I knew that
there would be PayPal, and I pay more knowing it
was PayPal. If you're involved with trade me, let me
know why you wouldn't that. But as I say, I
don't sell stuff, well, I have had stuff sold without
me knowing. I've googled things on my kept searches and well,
that looks good. I'll buy that, then realize I own it.
(11:21):
That's not a good feeling. We haven't worn them. It
doesn't matter, Vanessa, they're not ready to be sold.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It sounds like Marcus isn't completely in control of his
life there and a lot of ways, things like the
credit card payments, the paypals of pay and trade me
a car sector. That's why not all sellers offer that.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Obviously, some of.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The you know, a purchase price goes towards paying. You know,
we have this process and that I can't believe he
didn't figure that out. I can't believe he still has
phone banking. And also.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Although he does.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Through phone banking, I can't believe he.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Has to get and Nessa to do.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It for him. There's a lot of as often the way,
there's a lot to unpack for you and some of
the things I'm still coming to terms for and it'll
leave me thinking over the weekend, I am Glen has
that is that's been News Talks of being and we'll
(12:38):
be back here after that weekend on Monday for.
