Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart. We're looking
back at Thursday, of course, Karen Shaw and being bullied
as an MP and not being Marie enough or something.
It's a strange one, isn't it work?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Mistakes? What you know in the wake.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Of the pylons falling over and fairies running aground and
those are big mistakes. What's the worst thing that you've
ever done? And eating food at the cinema? Somehow that's
become a big thing, the wrong kind of food, not
just popcorn. So we'll get into that at the end
of the podcast. But first up, we've been talking a
(01:09):
lot about Health New Zealand this week as well, haven't we.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's a real mess. How do you clean up a
mess of this scale?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And that is the real issue about Health New Zealand.
The Health Ministry just don't believe in the reforms and
they're digging their heels in and they're making it hard
and they're making it wrong. So Lester Levy has his
work cut out for him. And Rob Campbell knew this,
and Amy Adams do this. Amy Adams do it and
actually quit because she was hitting her head against.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
A brick wall.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Now, it would have been better for the Prime Minister
to have said all of this rather than just dissing
the board and telling the whole world they're stupid. But
you know, I think that's his method of operation as
m O, his modus operandi. And I've said before that
he sometimes acts like an opposition leader and he escapegoats
a lot. He scapegoats a former government for every ill
(01:58):
ever in this land, even the ones that date back
to decisions made by Key and Clark, Bolder and even Muldoon.
And he does exaggerate some problems and he's always making
out that this country is a basketcase. Now, look, we've
got big problems and most were caused by Dern and
Hipkins and co. But we're not a basket case. And
(02:21):
that sort of rhetoric is not uplifting And I don't
think it's leadership either.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's an interesting call from Dickens. There isn't it that,
you know, is that leadership is just you know, calling
people out who basically are under his leadership and throwing
them on the bonfire.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Is that a way to fix a problem.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's kind of like you know, these letters Mark Mitchell
sends to the police, you know, telling them what he
expects from them. It's a sort of a you know,
we will publicly shame you into doing the right thing.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Maybe it's effective.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I don't know. Let's wait and see us talk.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Has it been?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, man, Karen, you are very upset the other day.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Apparently she's been coughing a lot of flak from all sides.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
James Meager gave a great maiden speech. Oh, he's national,
so he probably doesn't count. He's Mary, but I'm the
right of the political spectrum, so probably not Mary enough.
He said, the left do not own Mary. They don't
own the poor, and they don't own the workers. No
party and no ideology has a right to claim ownership
(03:37):
over anything or anyone. And amen to that, James, I'm
not Mary enough to say what is Mary and what
is not? I mean I have never and the time
I've read about the history of this country, no one
or Marty to think the same way.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Hew.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Wee aren't united in their views Hapoo aren't united. People
within Harpou united in their views. People and families aren't
united in their views. Who the hell are Tepati Mari
and those sanc demonious merely mouthed asses on the left
(04:22):
to decide what it is to be Mary and whether
you're Mari enough. Surely being Mary enough is having the
confidence to know who you are, to decide how you
want to vote, to decide which ideology you best think
(04:44):
will improve the lot of your people, which is why
you entered parliament. How very bloody dare they?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
What I don't get is people who seem to make
it their whole life's work to hassle other people and
be mean basically to other people and bring other people down.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Will you just do your own thing when you try
and build people up, not tear things down. Come on, guys,
let's get together. How good out talk? Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So, Marcus, last night Here's a Gender was based on
people doing dumb things at work, making bad mistakes, which
I had leaded and led them to ask this question.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
My question to you.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Tonight, tonight, tonight, what's the stupidest mistake You've made?
Speaker 10 (05:42):
It? Work?
Speaker 9 (05:44):
You'll have all done it, But I was thinking about
that today. As I thought about this, I thought, what
have I done at work? I don't think I'm well,
you see there you go guesse, you push buttons wrongly.
I think with a broadcast you can't make where you
can't make mistakes, you can be hauled before the BSA.
But I want to know from your line of work
(06:06):
it might have been in the early days or recently
that the greatest mistake you made could have been a
rookie era, could have been, sleeplessness, could have been could
have been. But yeah, the great mistake you made at work,
you will have done it. You'll reverse the tanker into
a powerpole, or you will have left the break off
the bread delivery van, or you will have I don't know,
(06:29):
you've been a teacher and you've got your videos mixed
up or something. You will have done it. So it's
work mistake Thursday. Try to think in the other jobs
I did, if I made work mistakes, I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I'd probably make more mistakes than actually getting things right.
So it's just sort of lucky that I've ended up
in a job where that can be funny, because I
make those mistakes quite publicly to about half a million
people at a time, and because it's not brain surgery,
(07:01):
it doesn't really.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Matter and you can just have a bit of a laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Probably the most spectacular mistake I made. I used to
be the store person Storman.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I guess I wasn't men.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
At anchor seed. We would receive and distribute, you know,
all kinds of seed, mostly grass seed for dairy farms
and such, but also seed, potatoes, turnip seeds. Anyway, part
of my job was driving a forklift around the warehouse
(07:37):
and putting things on palettes and stacking those palettes, sometimes
five palets high, sometimes more very high. And it turns
out stacking a palette correctly with a fourth fifth actually
all starts with how you've stacked the palette manually, when
you've you know, stacked up a bunch of twenty five
(07:58):
kilo sacks of seed on that palate, and if you
haven't got that just right and you get that fifth
palet way up above the forklift, turns out the whole
can just fall down on top of you, all the
pallets of seed on top of you, on top of
the forklift, everywhere all over the warehouse. And that revolves
a lot of sweeping up afterwards. That's probably the most
(08:19):
spectacular in the statement ever.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Mate, for sure, use your sitting.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But enough about me.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
How about this stoush that's really come to the fore
this week of people taking food into the theater.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
I'm with you, Simon. I can't eat that Kiosk stuff
at cinemas, so I always take a couple of pieces
of fruit and a bottle of water. I don't want
to take things that are smelly good dribble, or obstructive
or a nuisance for others. I think sushi's possibly going
a bit far, all right, Theresa says Simon. If you
desperately need food and wine when you go to the movies,
go to one of the theaters that serves food and
wine and leave the other theaters for those who want
(08:56):
to go and watch without being interrupted by your rudeness. Boon,
thanks for getting it off your chest to I'm not rude.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
No, you're not rude.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
No, it's not rude. I've had people when I've opened
a muffin from you know, you buy the muffins in
the plastic wraps. I got absolutely reamed by the person
behind me and the movie hadn't started. So what I
like to do is because I'm a courteous person. When
the crescendo of the music or something happens, you do
it there when I open right, good thinking to reason.
(09:27):
Polish your halo, mate, gone, Christy.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I can fairly say leave the bottle of water at
home and take a bottle of wine instead.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Yes, but you would never do that, would you?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
I have done it once in an all fairness, I
had to buy a glass of wine from there first
so I could use the glass and finish mine.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Yeah, that's sorry, agreeing for a friend, right, Okay, put
the wine to one side, Christy. What about food? Taking
your own food to the theater?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
I have once too, taken in a cheese booger and
stuff like that. I quite often treatment the supermarket and
I go get my lollies from there, and I do
the same thing. I open it when there's a loud
ad on or something like that. But you know you're
not going to please everybody, so it's like you've got
to please yourself.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And it sounds like a song.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
It's so costly these days, and you know, in a
way to make it affordable if you do have that
family and stuff, you've got to make a win somewhere,
you know, like, okay, you provide the screen and I'll
provide the snakes.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The ad thing of being served food, you know, hot meals.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And alcohol and other things in the theater.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's fine if it's like am that's set up for it,
you know, the ones with the big armchairs and a
table in between, and then the order space between you
and the other people.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But I don't know how it is at your theater.
But my local theater they sort of made that service
available in all the feathers. And there's nothing worse than
you know, a couple of you know, a group of
ladies out for a good time and a few shardies
(11:14):
getting their pizza delivered down the road that ruined the
Star is Born to.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Me news talk ze been No.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
There was that, and then there was the old couple
who commentated the entire movie to each other, and about two.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Scenes in the bloke goes, I reckon that guy's going
to kill himself.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
At the end of the movie. Yeah, it was fun style.
It was fun times. I've never been to the movie
since basically after that. But anyway, enough about me.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
They sit there and they start berating him. Oh, you've
made my daughter cry. You've made my daughter cry. You
shouldn't be let you know, get out of my way.
It's his cinema. The police came and had to escort
them out for goodness sakes. They refused to move, They
demanded refunds, They carried on eating. They said I wish
I had my vape here, I'd start vaping and things
(12:05):
like that. The staff said they felt unsafe. They had
to turn the movie off. So whoever was in the
movie missed out. People. Cinema has rules. It's clearly signposted
apparently five times throughout the cinema complex that you cannot
bring your own food in. So my feelings one, if
you can't go on our forty without eating, you probably should. Two,
(12:27):
this is a wider issue. It's about people not respecting rules.
It's not your property. Businesses need to make money otherwise
they go out of business and people lose their jobs.
And number three, and this is the most egregious breach
for me, They posted it all to TikTok. Just the
audacity to film all of that break the poor person
(12:47):
working there and then put it all on TikTok. It's
shameless and that is what's wrong with us today? I
think we have no shame anymore. You steal something, Oh
it's the cost of living crisis, you know, you do
something terrible. It's my mental health. Where is the shame
from breaking rules? So much of it at cinema three
(13:10):
hooker coming, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And then there was the time that I don't know
if they had a bad print of the movie or
what was going on.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
There was a mark on this.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
There were a couple of marks on the.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Screen and the sound was terrible. It was all toppy
and cibilant, and.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I just at the end, I just went and complained
and I said, look, I've paid a lot of money
to come and see something which would work so much
better on my home theater. At home, I saw over
the movies at the movies. I love a movie, but yeah,
only at home. From now on, I am Glen Hat.
It doesn't matter where you listen to this. I don't
(13:50):
listen to it at the movie though. Please save it
for later. I'll see you back here again on Monday
with a weekend.
