Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Being for Wednesday.
First of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart and we're
looking back at Tuesday. Productivity. It's one of the buzzwords
at the moment, isn't it. How do we get more productive?
Brian Mike hess and ideas we might just be complaining
(00:44):
about it. Shortly speak, cameras are now on trailers. Look out,
people are finding themselves in hot water over posting about
Charlie Kirk and we'll have a little discussion about weight
loss bags. But before any of that, the push to
buy New Zealand maid and the wake of the whole
(01:06):
peatures coming from overseas and terrible conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's also prompted a statement from what he's asking us
to support local growers. In other words, can we please
buy New Zealand maid? Now that is a very nice sentiment,
but let's be honest, that's all it is. It is
a sentiment. It's not gonna work. I mean, this is me,
this is not me being cavalier about how hard this
must be for the Hawks Bay peach growers who are
losing their what He's contracts for them. This must be
absolutely devastating, and I feel terrible for them. But this
(01:32):
is me being realistic about the prospect of any buy
New Zealand Made campaign working. What is New Zealand peaches?
According to pack and Saves online store, are three dollars
ninety you can Pam's Cheap peaches and ninety nine cents
a can. That's a no brainer. You're going to buy
the ninety nine cents can. Who is buying the three
dollars ninety can? Who is buying a Gray Linn? Who
(01:54):
is it? That makes no sense whatsoever? I mean, Look,
maybe if I thought about it a little bit, which
I don't, But if I did, maybe I would pay
ten twenty cents forty cents in a push more for
a New Zealand made product. But I would not pay
four times as much. It's far too expensive and I
wouldn't even do it in the first place, because buy
New Zealand maid never works, does it never has. If
(02:17):
it did, we would still be wearing butter bullets and
buying Juliet Hogan and eating Sanitarium peanut butter. We wouldn't
be reading about the closure of manufacturing businesses every other month,
which today, by the way, is the car to hold
Harvey Mill and talk it all. I do the shopping
in our house. Ninety percent of the time, I don't
even know the provenance of the food I'm buying. I
do not know where the canned food comes from. I
(02:37):
absolutely do not know where the dried good dried goods
come from, and often I'm not even really looking where
the fresh fruit comes from. Yep, I know where the
meat comes from. But that's basically a given, isn't it.
It's simple economics. It always will be. And even if
what is has this tiny little hope that there might
be a last minute public rally for the New Zealand
grown peaches, I think they already know the outcome, which
(02:58):
is why they've already cut the contracts.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, I mean one hundred, two hundred years ago, were
you decided capitalism was what we were going with. For
the most part, he who makes or she sometimes it's
a she, not very often, but he who makes the
most money wins, and you do that by doing whatever
(03:21):
the cheapest thing is that's just how it is, guys.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Soars news talks that bean.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm not sure where productivity comes into that. I guess
if you can grow peaches better, you can sell more
of them for cheaper. I don't know. I'm so confused.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
There are, of course, those who reckon the solution to
all of our problems is to have a politician sign
a piece of paper and artificially increase the minimum wage.
We'll write a blank check to teachers as academic results
heads south. The question for them is who's going to
pay for it? When our best and brightest are leaving
New Zealand and businesses are closing, who can afford that?
(04:10):
Show me a democracy that got rich by increasing the
size and influence of government, and I'll give you a
million bucks, and not one of those Scandinavian ones which
did it off the back of massive mineral deposits which
we're not allowed to touch. Remember, we've fallen so far behind.
We can't be managing a one and a half or
two percent GDP economy. This country needs seven percent for
(04:34):
at least three years. This country needs a growth spurt.
We've fallen too far behind. Please don't be fooled. By
the false prophets waving their banners and posting their nonsense.
They've got no idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I think it sort of goes back to what I
was saying before. I mean, if you really want change,
you've got to change the entire way society works. And
I honestly do think that that's what a lot of
people are, whether they know it or not. That's sort
of what they're protesting about what they want to to happen,
(05:11):
but without explicitly saying it. Some of them are probably
explicitly saying it, but it sounds so unrealistic that it
sounds dumb when you say it out loud. Talk right,
So they're putting speed cameras on trailers, which I think
means that there's going to be more of them, So
(05:32):
I guess it's not really a problem unless your speed habitually.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I never there was no warning we're going to get
these speed camera trailers. That's a weird thing, isn't it.
Anyone following that story there's going to be speed camera trailers.
I presume there's going to be someone in the ute
in the issue V nearby. But when did they ever
say we're going to get these have been following that
(05:56):
story speed camera trailers. But the question I have is
where are they? We need to warn people for the
first couple of days because we don't even know they're
bringing those out. Speed camera trailers. Yep, speed camera trailers
(06:17):
and no idea. There are a thing. I don't know
where we've picked it up from. You might have seen
these overseas.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Never heard of them.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
They're going to be trialed in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'm not quite sure why Marcus are so shocked by
the idea of a speed camera and a trailer. You
just keep repeating speed camera trailers speaking a trailer, almost
almost dumbfounded by the idea of speed camera trailers. I guess,
(06:48):
like I said before, if you're that worried about them,
probably just don't speed be my seditions. But I know
that's pretty pretty crazy to say. I mean a lot
of people saying crazy things on this podcast so far,
and we're only two thirds of the way through three
fifths something us sitting actually speaking of hot takes and
(07:09):
saying crazy things. A lot of people have found themselves
getting into trouble and the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination,
it turns out not everybody was a fan of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
And if you think that you're sitting at the bottom
of the universe, miles away from anybody and nobody cares wrong.
We live in a village now, an absolute village, and
it doesn't matter that we are last stop before Antarctica.
If you say something, you have to accept that it's
(07:43):
going to be found. If you send a text into me,
it can be found. What you say, whatever it is
you say, can be found. You might send it, think
better of it later, as Sam Stubbs did too late.
It's out there. As employers, do you, as a matter
(08:10):
of course go through people's social media, see what they
effort and see what stance they take. Do you take
into account what people have said and done on social media?
Is that just a standard part of hiring Now? Should
you be able to travel anywhere at will? Or should
(08:33):
the things you say and post on social media be
taken into account when it comes to applying for the
right to travel to another country? Should the right to
free speech have consequences?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yes, it makes you think I'm glad there's no record
of all the stupid things I says. And you know
They're not being recorded and kept in a publicly accessible
place forever and ever where people can go back and
listen to them anytime they like. That's a relief news talk.
(09:14):
Has it been the weight loss drugs? They really have
weight loss drugs and a I have sort of been
the big tech advances, haven't they over the last couple
of years? They were talking about the weight loss drugs
yesterday afternoon. I think Hay is on we go V.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Specifically, I found the first month not too not too different,
still had a hunger, and you know, I didn't lose,
didn't lose much, you know, about two kilograms sea killograms.
But then now on the you know, in the in
the last months, I'm right down. I've probably lost about
(09:59):
eight and a half kilograms now steady on a kilogram
a week.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
And how is everything else going? Is there any side effects?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
The biggest side effect for me is my love for
red One. It's just gone up the window. I mean,
I just can't. I cannot stand the smell of red
one anyone. I used to love read one right, So
that goes the same just about all alcohol. It just
puts me off alcohol. And you know, earlier callers said
that you get put off certain foods, and it does that.
(10:32):
Fatty foods and things you want, whole foods, vegetables, those
kind of things are promoted. Wow, I mean your body
feels better with them, and certainly alcohol. It's just just
gone off all cool.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So I know, a piece of fried chicken, if that
was put in front of you, would you feel repulsed
by it?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I wouldn't feel repulsed by it, but wouldn't have the
urge to even eat it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We had to know how and fried chicken he was
before that. Of course, I'm not gaga about fried chicken.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
So I reveal.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know, our reveal, not that I'm on weight, last joy,
if only that I'm probably about twenty twenty five kilos overweight,
which is quite a lot. Basically, I'd like to lose
about a quarter of my weight. I'm trying to do
it at the moment. Yeah, I can't help thinking that
(11:31):
life would go a bit better for me. This is
the trouble when you get older. You go through your
life thinking that there's no consequences to it. Well, no,
you know, you're aware of the consequences. But it's a
bit like climate change, isn't it. I mean, we know
that there are consequences, but potentially disastrous, not even potentially
probably disastrous, but you just are don't worry about it,
(11:53):
and eventually there comes a time and you go, this
is actually I feel gross all the time. Do something
about it. So yeah, I just stopped. I've just stopped
doing all the gross stuff, mostly involved eating gross things
constantly and not really exercising. Fine enough so in my
(12:17):
first week. So this is not with weight loss drugs.
I lost over at Kilo, and I know that that's
usually what happens. Why am I telling you this? Why
am I sharing this with you? I don't know. Stop listening.
Stop listening right now.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
I will.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'll let you know howak tomorrow I'll give you consert
updates on my weight loss journey. Did no, don't worry,
that's not gonna end. I don't know why I said
all that stuff. Why are you still listening us?
