Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello maybe the Beanies and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First of Yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
GDP.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's GDP watch again an amazing renovation story. We're one
of the more sweary countries in the world. Don't worry,
We're not the sweariest. And Marcus tries to watch Jaws.
But before any of that, some people are annoyed that
(00:55):
they get sent to a private hospital when they start
out at a public one. Is that what's happening? I'm
so confused by all this.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
When you have people who do not have life threatening conditions,
but who have life diminishing conditions where they can't work,
they can't enjoy life, they are living in constant pain.
Their quality of life is zero, they can't go outside
(01:23):
the four walls of their own home. They're swallowing painkillers,
which are ineffectual but at least make them feel like
something is happening. The difference between what is considered a
relatively routine operation by the medical profession and not having
that routine operation is life changing. You may not die
(01:49):
from having bone on bone pain of your hip or
your knee, but you feel like you want to. The
difference will be huge for patients, like for them, for
some of them, they don't know how they can go
on another hour, far less six months.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You want to talk about my conn What do you
mean you don't? It was just relevant because I got
sent off to a private place for it, which was
very nice. Obviously they didn't have the resource. I don't
know how urgent it was that they stick a camera
at me, but I mean, if the resources are there,
(02:29):
that's used that you can't just instantly train medical specialists.
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
News talk it right, Is.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It GDP week again? Is that what we're asking about?
So I've got GDP fatigue.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So the bank is going to take things slow. They're
going to ease the next few cuts over a longer
period of time, basically for fear that they'll overcook the
whole thing again. They'll be thinking, of course about Trump
and his tariffs and the fear of price hikes, even
though these haven't materialized even in the data out of
the United States as yet. They'll be worried about the
Middle East. They'll be worried about the price of oil
(03:05):
as a result of the Middle East. It's an important
cost of care and it's in everything, not just our cars,
transport of goods, production, you name it. Directly and indirectly
contributes up to thirty percent of our inflation when the
price is high, like when somebody's dropping bombs in the
Middle East. But that wouldn't be my main concern if
(03:28):
I was setting monetary policy, not that anyone would let me. Sure,
we'll get a solid growth number of around zero point
seven percent for quarter one on Thursday. But there's been
a couple of signs this week, just a few little ones,
that things are a bit shaky for quarter two, the
one we're in now this year. Yesterday it was May
Day calls from the services sector going backwards for the
(03:50):
month again, this time a bigger drop than last and
again way out of whack with our trading partners. And
our golden dairy run will continue, don't worry. I'm not
saying that won't. But there are signs, early signs that
production is going to be ramping up around the world,
and of course that effects the price brings it down.
Cutting rates sooner and faster would help avoid any surgical
(04:14):
complications as we revived the economy, which has been, let's
face it, a very sick patient for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So that was kind of fun that, you know, comparing
it to a patient and doing surgery on it. I'm
not sure that it made any more sense to me
doing it that way, because economics is a bit like
brain surgery to me, and it makes aout as much sense.
(04:44):
I just leave it to the m and carry on
about my business.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Do you talk Si.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We're talking renovations on the Afternoon Show yesterday and then
they got this story.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Heyday, you bought a crap house nine years ago and
you're still working on it.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I understand, yes, I am, and I'm probably only one
eighth finished. Wow sactually turning into a palace. I actually
have marble on the walls, wow work that I imported
from Saint Petersburg a week before the Ukraine was invaded.
(05:15):
I'm still working on that because I've just faced behind
it with white marble with the beautiful gray streaks and
a gold and I've done all of the scot around
the ceilings. I bought a nineteen fifty three house with
high ceilings, very unusual house on half an acre in
the middle of Cambridge, and everybody said you're an idiot.
(05:35):
I paid four hundred and ten. Now we're one point
six and the house should still be demolished because of
the land it's sitting on, perhaps six hours on it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't know that it sounds like those reno's are.
To my taste, it sounds a bit like, you know
how Trump's put all the gold or at least gold
appearing doo, Dad's all over the over office. Sometimes Lisa
is more you know what I'm saying. So it turns
out we are one of the more swearier countries when
(06:07):
it comes to swearing, not not the worst. So you know,
don't panick everyone you.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Offended by the swearing in the Select Committee today, because
if I'm completely honest with you, I'm not to the
extent that I'm actually surprised that this is a minor
news story. Today feels to me like every single news
outlet at the moment is carrying a story about the
fact that Deborah Russell and Duncan l Duncle and Duncan
Webb from Labor both swore about David Seymour in the
Select Comittee scrutiny hearing for his Regulations Ministry, Deborah said,
(06:36):
for f's sake, under her breath, except it wasn't really
under her breath enough, was it? So people heard it
and then she had to apologize, and Duncan said of
David Seymour that he was making shit up. David is
not happy about this. David says he is astonished he's
accused the Labour Party of being a rabble and he
says he hasn't seen MP's casually swearing in a Select
(06:56):
committee like that in eleven years now. David may be right,
but I feel like this is performative outrage from him
because I think there is a political strategy here from
parties on the right to paint the parties on the
left as unruly, and he's just trying to build that case.
I mean, to be fair, we have absolutely been discussing
standards dropping in Parliament, but we've been talking about is
a lot more serious than just an F bomb under
(07:18):
Deborah's breath. I don't think that most of us will
if I could hazard a guess at what you're thinking,
I don't think most of us will be offended because
I think that we can see there's a difference between
you know, properly offensive stuff like calling ministers the sea
bomb in a written column, as opposed to you know,
someone muttering a five out of ten squear word like
(07:38):
the F bomb. Plus the other thing is we swear,
and as keywis, we love to swear, don't we? We
swear more than most people. There was research that came
out last month that showed that online we are the
fifth most sweary nation in the world, with a particular
pond schump for words like prick, bloody, and a whole.
So I don't know, I'm not particularly offended by this.
I don't even think this is really news. I also
(08:00):
think politicians have to be a little careful at what
they get outraged over, because we cannot be outraged over everything.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's so funny and here I thought when I saw
that Hither had done a swearing editorial, that it was
about the survey that had come out that shows that
for the study that America is the country that swears
the most, followed closely by UK and we're a little
bit further down the list. Amazing. When I was going
(08:26):
to say imitates life. But when studies imitate life or
politics or something, well, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
News talk ze.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Been Actually it's Jaws.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Something like that? Anyway, Marcus has tried to watch it.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
I think, yeah, fifty years from the I think the
book came The movie came out very soon after the book.
It might have even been the same year. I think
the whole story of the making of Jaws was some
of you will know more about this than I do.
That because the mechanical shark didn't function very well, they
(09:09):
had to film in a different way, which made it
even more terrifying because the threat and menace was implied
rather than some mechanical thing.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
But you know what I love.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
I love the fact they never remade it. And that's
a topic. They're just they're sitting there, isn't it the movies?
You're very happy they haven't remade. Well, let's put Jaws
top of the list. Although having never seen and I'm
almost an expert on that, because what a terrible thing
that would be. Could you have some agi GPT CGI
shark coming at you wouldn't look good at all. So
(09:43):
I'm very happy they haven't remade Jaws. You might want
to comment on this. Also, very happy they haven't remade
The Sound of Music. Very happy they haven't remade Star Wars.
We well, think of all the movies they could have remade,
they just didn't do that. Thank you people for not
doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Marcus has missed movies like The meg where they essentially
have remade it, haven't they, And the sequels and Star Wars.
I mean they constantly were remaking there. I don't know.
I mean it's not called just Star Wars, but then
neither was just Star Wars. It's one of the weirdest
(10:23):
things that's ever happened, isn't it that it started at
the episode four? Anyway, I am a glen Hart that
has been Newstalks. They had been will be back here
for We'll be remaking news Talks. They had been again
tomorrow with episode three thousand, three hundred. It would be exciting,
wa't it.
