Speaker 2 (00:23):
My Beautiful Beanies and welcome to the Bean for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Harton. We are
looking back at Thursday and we're going to talk about
what it's like to be a grandparent when you don't
really want to be. This whole bizarre situation with Canada
spying on New Zealand with drones. This is an Olympic football.
(00:46):
We're talking about what weiker tastes like and the man
with a thousand vacuums. But before any of that, the
abuse and care report is a very very very very
very bad luck.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The only thing that's changed, I think from back then
is that the covers of darkness have been stripped away
and those gasped many sluggish pedos have been exposed to
the full light of day. There is still the most
appalling abuse happening in homes. There is still abuse happening
(01:22):
in institutions, as we've seen with the reviews of our
own Atomaeki, but it's being exposed far more quickly and
hopefully we are learning better ways of doing things. But
it will be the kids, the kids themselves who had
to go through hell on earth, who will be the
(01:44):
ones who'll be able to inform us on how to
do things better. But in the first instance, love your kids,
don't let them end up, and gear don't hand over
their souls and their bodies to other people who are
going to damage them.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Utterly appalling reading, you know, But thank Heavens for the
courage and the bravery of those children, because it's the
children and adults bodies who spoke at the inquiry. It's
those children, thank Heavens, who had the courage to speak up,
who might just make things better for future generations.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, it's only one of those times that I consider
myself very lucky to you know, I've been brought up
in a stable environment and my parents, you know, provided
me with everything that I could possibly ask for and
then just ignored me. That was the greatest thing that
they could could have done. It was my mum's still
(02:52):
trying to ignore me, but sometimes it's easier than others.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
News talk been got the personal.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
There, but you know, not everybody's come out to be
a parent or a grandparent of that matter.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I don't like caring for preschool kids, she says, under
the age of four. It's it's all the feeding and
sleeping and nappy changing and vomit and teething pain and temperatures.
And she's like, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
I will look after the grandkids for the occasional night
out that my daughter might want to have or son
might want to have. But she's like, I'm not your
(03:26):
childcare service. What's your reaction to that? Ingrid?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Hello, We just love having our grandchildren. We have them
every Friday. I've been doing it fourteen years now. My
husband is five years older and he's now retired, and
we do stuff with the grandkids before they start school,
and we've been doing it as soon as we can really,
(03:50):
from when they're little. So fourteen, yeah, seven grandkids.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Goodness, and do you feel appreciated.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Absolutely? And what's more is that we have a bond
with our grandchildren that you don't have when they're always
present their parents, because then they keep going back to
their parents. But when they're on your own with the
child on their own, they learn about us and we
learn about them and it's just a wonderful experience to
(04:21):
be that's great and knowing that they can go home
at night.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yea, I've got two daughters and I live in mortal
fear that they will reproduce one day. And you know,
not because of the way that that we were in
their lives. Is because I'm worried that it wouldn't do
that ruining my life. Like I've done the baby thing twice,
I don't need to do it again. And yeah, I
(04:47):
literally and it makes me a very bad person because
people show me like baby photos and all I see.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Is is.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Poo and vomit when I look at those photos newborn babies,
isn't it. No, it looks like Winston Churchill and poo
and vomit. That's all I think. Fair, I'm a bad person.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Us talk side not.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
As bad as the Canadian coaching staff who seem to
go to they'll go to any lengths to get a
bit of inside information on how the New Zealand women's
football team plays.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Doesn't take a massive leap of logic to assume they'd
be prepared to do it to a team rank much higher,
which actually may pose an actual threat on the field
to them, So this is not actually really about punishing
them for spying on the football ferns, although there is
a tiny element of justice there. It's really about getting
them and others to suffer sufficiently to cut out this
kind of nonsense because if you do not punish them properly,
(05:47):
and giving up points is punishing them properly. If you
do not do that, they will just keep doing it
because the incentive to do that, to do it remains now.
It's also actually in the best interests of the Olympics
and of FIFA to do this, to be seen to
be taking a hard line on cheats, because for the Olympics,
they've got a real problem convincing audiences nowadays that the
(06:07):
games are fair when not. Just look, the Russians are back.
They had an industrial doping effort being run out of
the state, but they're back. They're just rocked up under
a different flag. Fever has got a massive problem convincing
anyone that they're not corrupt. Now, the Canadians have been
caught red handed here right the guy running the drone
has been given a suspended jail sentence by the French
(06:27):
justice system, So there is no question over whether they
were cheating. They were cheating. The only question is whether
the Olympics and FIFA are going to punish them properly
for it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Of course, a really annoying thing about this is that
this game is on at the moment, he's the on
Vesiness Canada and we were winning one now and now
it's two to one as I record this, Yeah, that
gives me a turn, Donalis. So that's talk about insult
(06:56):
to injury. So this whole Weka gate situation, the person
who kilden ate a Wecker has gone to trouble. That
turns out they may have just been in the wrong place.
According to Ryan, I have a confession for you. It
was a weker that he did that he killed and
eight I have a confession. I too have killed and
(07:18):
eaten weker. Yes, but it was buff wecker on the
Chatnam Islands.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
And you're allowed to. It's the only place you can
do it in New Zealand. And it's delicious. I have
to confess. It tasted like a cross between chicken and pork,
quite greasy, but really delicious. And you go over there.
I went there to film for a TV show. You
sit in the ute in the evening drinking whiskey with
(07:44):
the local guys. The dogs go out, get them, bring
them to the window of the ute, they snap the neck,
throw them on the back of the tray. They said
that sometimes they could get hundreds in a night, and
they're a pest over there, so they would run rampant
and take over the island. And the other thing is
they eat native bird eggs, so they're double bad anyway.
(08:06):
So there we are over there wecker having a great time.
And Roger Beatty is a conservationist and an entrepreneur who
was there with us, and he reckons we should farm
worker on the mainland. He says no farmed species has
ever died out. Currently it's illegal to sell wecker, so
you can't in New Zealand. Doc is dead against it,
(08:28):
but Roger says, we farm plenty of other species in
New Zealand, shellfish, trees, so why not birds. It's an
interesting take. He's a bit of a radical, this guy.
Doc says that predator free sanctuaries are the way to go,
and they're working. I mean they are working. You look
at Wellington for example, that is working. They're dead against
farming of any species, but I kind of think all
(08:49):
options should be on the table. Eighty two percent of
bird species are currently threatened with extinction or at risk
of becoming threatened. So can we really be that picky
or fussy? If we're serious about saving them, it's at
least worth a wee. Look see, I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Would have thought, yeah, he can't put the miszoos though
we don't like zoos anymore. So I don't know what
you do. Complicated business saving the world? Isn't it? News talk?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Has it been?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Right? Let's talk to the man who claims he's got
how many? How many vacuum cleaners does he claim he's.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Got, Dave, is it your primary vacuum cleaner or is
it one you collecked and you've got others?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, I used to have a huge collection of vacuum cleaners.
Here we go, Yeah, I used to have over a
thousand vacuum cleaners.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Goodness, where's your podcast?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yep?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Okay, of course you did.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yep, yeah, I used to collect them in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
Would that be the biggest collection? Would that be the
biggest collection in New Zealand?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
No? No, Well, people who collect things they don't broad
they don't broadcast them.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
Because one of their mates will come around for tea
and they'll steal your real one. I know how it
is with collectors.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Yeah, they're obsessed.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah, it's not like it's a like a rear car
or anything. You know, There's there's a lot of eccentric
people out there who collect crazy things. And I guess
I could have been one of those eccentric people.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Did you a thousand vacuum cleaners?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I had them stored at my house, in other people's garages.
I had them stored under my parents' house, all sorts
of places.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Sounds to be that you cross the line.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Well I did sort of cross the line, just in
a small way.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Was there a holy grail that you Was there one
that was your favorite of all of them?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well, this one that I just mentioned.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
Was the one. Was there one you had got? Was
there one you were desperate to get hold of?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Not really? Not really. I The thing is, I never
actually paid for any of them. I just used to
I just because I used to do the inorganic rubbish collections. Yep.
And I still do the inorganic rubbish collections. And when
I thought.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
I thought the inorganics had stopped, No, no, they still go. Okay,
I didn't know that. I'm not an Alton, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yep, yeah, No, they're still still in organics, but they're
they're changed a bit. They don't spread them out on
the footpath like they used to.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
What do they do now?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, you have to book, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
They need to talk to Dave about what I've got
that can cleaner that I use upstairs. And the spinning
rotating head thing has stop spinning and rotating. It's been
annoying and I see it plus the RC in it
and everything, and I think that's only made it worse. Sometimes,
(12:17):
most of the time CRC makes things better, but occasionally,
if you put it on the wrong thing, it just
gets even more guns dat that makes it worse. So
if you get hold of Dave, he might have a
spare one of those rotating head things. He might have
one a vacuum white mind that the rest of it
doesn't work, but the rotating heads still rotating. If you
(12:40):
are interested in hearing this rotating head continue to rotate
next week, join me on Monday and we'll have a
weekend edition and we'll rotate through all the heads.
