You're listening to a podcast from news talk S ed B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on
iHeartRadio Used Talk said talk, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
My beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean. First with
yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart. We are looking back
at Wednesday and when the family currers they've they've had
a These are people who are you looking out for
people's close to them, the disabilities that they they've had
(00:44):
a port wind. So that's good. I think that's good. Booms,
the old Boom Talks d B. It's back, great little
testing out that one. And Marcus has a moan about
something that all hosts you have to do it this
time of year. But before any of that, the social
media band in Australia, it's been coming, it's been coming,
(01:07):
it's been coming now.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's anyway, look the whole thing, and I think Patrick
said this, it's a signal and that's virtue signaling. And
we all know how we feel about virtue signaling. The
last government was greateredan even if the virtue is a
good one. And speaking of which, talking about virtue signaling,
I found the whole argibargie between the before sixteen crew
and the Prime Minister to be a little bit distasteful.
(01:29):
It seemed like these guys were more concerned about who
gets the credit for the posturing rather than helping the
kids themselves. But look, here we go, the messages out
there and it's a good one. Keep your kids' social
media usage as low as possible. You are the parent,
so parent. And here's my thing. My boys are in
their twenties and they grew up with all of this.
(01:50):
And I remember asking them when they are teens, boys,
have you've been cyber bullied on social media? And their
reply was not really. And then they said, look, if
you're being bullied, and if you're being hansled, what you
do is you block the dickheads.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
That's what we do too. Oh and we just turned
the phone off. And by the way, can you drive
me to football? Kids are still being kids, and I
see them out and about at the moment. They're on
holiday already. They're at the beach and they're hanging out
and they're not scrolling on their phones. But I'll tell
you what the adults are.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, this is I've said it before, but you know,
Andrew raises a good point there. I don't know why
they're just banning it for just kids. They should be
protecting adults mental health as well. It's probably just as
(02:43):
and you know, given that it's the adults that are
actually in charge of things, you know, running families, running businesses,
running the country. Everybody should get off social media. It's
one of the worst things that's ever happened news talk
has it been? And yeah, obviously I will be placing
(03:04):
links to this podcast on Facebook and LinkedIn and stuff purely.
How does Ryan feel about it all?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Now, this is something I often joke about, but I
also kind of mean it. You know, the bad things
that we did when we were young, you know, like
drinking and smoking and I don't know, doing things in
the back of cars, and you know, running around town
and being causing mischief, ding dong, ditching your old neighbor
down the road, throwing toilet paper at someone's house on Halloween,
that kind of stuff. All of that stuff, if you
(03:33):
think about it, involves two important things, socializing in person
and usually some sort of physical activity. Yes, they were
bad things that we learned from them, and most of
us grew out of them. The problem with smartphones is
you don't grow out of them. They drive kids mental,
they keep them mental, and nobody does really anything about
(03:56):
it or to try and stop it, apart from the
Australians today we spend a lot of time and effort
stopping kids from drinking and smoking and doing bad things,
and it is working. They are on those fronts at
their lowest levels ever. But if it's being replaced by
screen time, what really is worse? If you could have
your youth again, well you'd probably be very well behaved.
(04:18):
I know you would. But if you had to choose
your naughty youth or smartphone addiction, which would actually be.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Is there a third option? Can I just miss out
the youth altogether? I don't know. Think that was the
greatest time in my life to be pervoctly honor you
talk said, not that I can really remember. You get
to a certain point you can't remember anything. Now. People
who look after family members with disabilities have had a
(04:51):
win at court. I thought this had been said a
long ago.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I can't imagine what it would be like as a
parent of a disabled child, knowing that time is ticking by,
you try to set your children up so that they
will be looked after when you're gone, But it would
be terrifying having to try and care for the child
(05:20):
and the hero and now while making provision for them
in the future. Quite often it falls to other siblings
to provide that care. There's a need to try and
work to afford the sort of care that the adult
child is going to need now and in the future.
(05:44):
Like the love you would get from knowing your child fabulous,
but there's also the basic needs you have to provide for.
You get a lot out of being with your child,
no matter what age. You know, it's a relationship. It's
(06:05):
a relationship that you have. It is one that is special, unique,
but it's also a job and if you weren't doing it,
somebody would have to. So I would love to hear
from those families who are in that situation and what
that means for you from here on in. Not all
(06:26):
family members will want to be workers of disability support services,
and I get that, but at least the pay it
paves the way for there to be the option for
them to be recognized as such.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Tell you what, man, this is one of those issues
that you think just happens to other people and then
all of a sudden, your parents get old and you
find yourself up to your elbows and poor again. And
I say again, you know, like you were a parent
of a baby once upon a time, and now your
(06:57):
parents are the ones that you're having to clean up after.
And oh my god, let's move on. Shall we use
your setting now, Bens berms Cones. There's a pet peeves eh,
(07:17):
things that people want the council to sort out. Booms
has got to be out there. We haven't talked about
booms for a little while, but they're back.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I lived in a block of sixteen three story townhouses
mode booms for all of them West Aalkland.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Took me two hours per week. Look buddy good though,
Great New Zealander, Andy, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Highest Cellars. Hi. I have a husband that loves a boom.
We live in christ Church and we're in North Bright
and in the earthquake fit and our house was it
was rubbish, half its fallen down. It was just it
was chaos. It was like Bosnia and wartime. Anyway, he's
(08:00):
out there morrying the boob and people, of course, the
red rubber masine driving past our house and you know,
the neighborhood having looked at all destruction and staff, which
is lovely. And he's out there amonging the boom and
people were just doing relope, laughing at him, taking photos.
But he still loves the boom. He's constantly planting things.
(08:22):
I've got tulips coming up in spring. I've got a
new cofi tree, I've got all this stuff coming up
at different seasons. And he's just takes so much pride.
But the guy across the road Old Andy, different Andy, obviously,
but he's he's out there with us what looks like
nails sisbers a couple of times a wedding going around
(08:44):
the Huges and I swear to God, I go there,
you know, leave in the morning, come back after work,
and the guy's out there doing something else to it
is tiny little postage damp. It's nuts. But anyway, I
think there's a bit of a boom or going on
between them.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I used to mow the grass across the street from
me because there's a there's a paddock across the street
from my house. It's the weirdest thing in Silverdale. There's
this massive paddock in the middle of it and there
are three cows and a bunch of sheep and then
(09:22):
various other wildlife makes this way in their geese, in
particular occasional paradise duck. Anyway, regardless of what's in there,
there's grass by the footpath there, and the council we
used to never come and mow that, and so those
of us who took a bitter pride in the street
(09:45):
used to, you know, nip across the road and mow that.
And then one day the council did turn up and
started knowing it. And so I haven't had to do that,
and so that's great, although they did wake me up
for my afternoon nap yesterday doing it. Because they come
along with a lot of loud machinery to do it,
they get it done at about thirty seconds. Wake up.
(10:09):
If you're a work on a radio breakfast show and
you're trying to get some sleep in the outfit, you
never soundisfied, are you? Glad News Talk set bean Right,
let's finish up with Marcus Marcus Moan a midweek Marcus
Moan to really ramp your alliteration.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I'll tell what the thing I'm stuck on, and I'll
probably get in trouble for this, but that's fine. I'll
tell you about The worst thing about being a broadcaster
is that every year, at the end of the year,
you have to record your Christmas liners, and that is
the things you've got to say, like, Hi, I'm Marcus,
I'm on holiday. I hope you're having a great time.
I'm such and such and such and much. Well, you
don't stay away because that when your house to be robbed.
(10:48):
So you say, well, I'm having a great time in
bluff and my favorite Christmas song is, and my news
resolution is. And what happens. It comes round every year
and you always forget it. I think, oh well, and
then the email comes. So you've got to come in
early to work and record your Christmas liners, and no
one loves it. No one loves it because you don't
want to actually, because what happens is you just have
to figures up sort of humorous yet respectable, and you've
(11:12):
got to say it. And those things get replayed endlessly
over the summer. So you want them to be good
because otherwise you come across as been quite lame. But
the last thing you really want to do is be
putting a lot of thought into something that's going to
be when you're off here. So it's that time of
the year that we are doing those. And the problem
is I've also got to say not only my favorite tune,
(11:35):
but my highlight of the year. I've also got to
say what my news resolution is. Now. I'm at that
stage in life for I think New Year's resolutions are
for I don't know what they're for, not for me anyway,
So I've got no idea what my news resolution is.
So if I've said anything over the years that you
might contrue might to be my news resolution, I need
(11:57):
one of those for my Christmas liners. Hi, I am Marcus,
and my news resolution is to be kinder to others.
Hope you're enjoying the beach, and that's kind of what
I have to do. So yes, if you've got one
of those, remind me of that would be of interest.
I think that'd be great. By the way, I.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Think this stuff was doing about two weeks ago. What's
he been doing? It's not that hard is it to
tell you?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
What?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Man?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
If that was the thing that I Because I'm not
a broadcaster, I'm just a worker behind the scenes, and
my the thing I have to do at this time
of year is start. Oh I nearly said a naughty
word there is start mixing the radio awards entry, so
squashing an entire year's worth of radio into a ten minute,
(12:41):
stupid entry for stupid awards that nobody cares about except
certain people in management of this company. We seem to
be keeping the radio awards alive single hand. Like anyway.
It's a bit like Marcus. I'm hoping they're not listening.
I so I it was a midwek Marcus moone. It
turned into a midweek glen Moon, which is no alliteration
(13:03):
at all.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Really.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We'll see back here again to morrow. I'll change my
name to something starting with.
