Speaker 2 (00:21):
Talk sid B Talk, Hello, Money, R for Beanies, and
welcome to the bean for Wednesday, first of Yesterday's news.
We're looking back at Tuesday and our hospitals are falling
to pieces, and we're still sending money overseas. This whole
Michelin star thing a lot of buffle, isn't It's it's
(00:45):
supermarket giveaway time.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And don't you worry.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Marcus is keeping an eye on that for us, and
Tyler's got an ironing hack to share with us. Can't
wait to hear that before any of that. We've got
too many young, stupid MPs these days.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Stuff is running a bunch of stories at the moment
about Hannah at UPPERTYMP, Clark at the Tapati Maldi MP.
Newest one is about photos of her with the Minister
for Women, Nicola Gregg, and I'll come back to that
one in a second. But what they found out is
that Clark was boasting on social media that she spent
sixty five percent of her time advocating for and visiting
young people in prisons and ot facilities. It sounds very laudable.
(01:26):
The only problem official records show she's only visited prison
once since she became an MP. And as for the
OT facilities, well, the Minister, Karen Saw confirms no visits ever.
She says Clark must be quote telling porkies. Now at
this point I feel a bit bad for Clark, right,
maybe she misspoke or hasn't been understood or something like that.
(01:49):
But they ask her questions the journalists and no answer.
Post gets deleted. Apparently all looks a bit shady anyway.
Then there's this new photo with Nicola Gregg a few
weeks ago. Lovely photo gets posted by Clark with greg
smiles beaming. Caption says she'd been quote supporting them Minister
for Women in extending fully funded breast screening from age
(02:12):
sixty nine to seventy four.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Problem.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Griggs says they never spoke about it. Griggs says she
was asked to come down to Parliament on a lower
floor because Clark wanted a photo with the minister. Didn't
say why. Now, how odd is that? How strange is that?
How unusual is that? Especially when you consider what the
(02:36):
hunter might be. Clark thinks of an evil colonizer, presumably
like a national MP. Why would you get the photo,
why would you post and why would you say something that,
on the face of it doesn't appear to have been true.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, that is a bit odd, isn't it. I think
you're probably better off not doing anything than saying that
you're doing things.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That you're not.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Doing, because I think it is quite easy for people
to find out whether you've be doing them or not.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Apparently, what have you been doing? Then? I've been making
podcasts prove it well? Here they are news talk.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Has it been something nobody seems to be doing is
putting enough money into our hospitals. They're falling down around areas,
and yet we're still sending aid to other countries. We
need to look after our own backyard first.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I get that we want to be good global citizens,
and I get that we are wealthy compared to other nations.
And I'm not saying stop all aid, but come on,
when household budget's tightened, you have to give less. There
isn't that much money to go around, Otherwise you are
depriving your own family. And this is the case here
(04:02):
on a macro scale. How can we justify donations to Vietnam,
which is just thriving, and Indonesia be justified. How can
nine hundred and forty three point eight one million dollars
in foreign aid be justified when we have leaky, aging hospitals.
(04:24):
Some of the schools need to be completely and utterly revamped,
or the classrooms in the halls. Some of the police
stations are just appalling. A lot of the public buildings
in which our public servants work are just not suitable
and not fit for people to be there. How can
(04:46):
we justify that level of aid? And when New Zealand
citizens are traveling to the very country that we're giving
aid two for their medical and dental care, the foreign
aid officials realize how weird that looks.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'm uncomfortable with these sorts of conversations. I mean, you've
got to have different budgets for different things. But you
can't just go ah, You've got to decide what the
most important thing is. Are you going to do that
and put all the money into that thing, get that
thing sorted, and then move on to the next thing.
But I guess that's another way of doing things. I've
never heard of people do anything that way. You know,
(05:20):
we won't spend any more money on roads and bridges
until we've got the hospitals working properly. I'll hang on
the ambulances, drive on the roads and bridges.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You know what I mean? One thing is connected to another.
I think I don't really know how you the stuff works.
I'm just trying to make a podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Talk right, So, and the hope that Michelin Stars will
make even more people come to New Zealand than they.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Already are for the holiday.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They've handed it out a whole bunch of them, more
than I thought they would actually.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
So I'm going to go Nick Honeyman of Paris Butter
on due a voice road because reason why I think
he might get one is he's already got a staff
for the restaurant that he runs in France, and I
reckon there's a clue in the fact that he's flown
back from France for the event, and everyone who eats
at Paris Butter raves about it. Now, let me tell
you book before he wins, and you've probably got another
(06:21):
hour at tops book before he wins one, because you're
going to struggle to get a booking after tonight if
he comes away with the star. Same with tala on
part Our rises as a Psalm worn inspired restaurant. If
they get a star tonight, good luck getting in. This
is the effect of the Michelin Stars. This is why
it's money well spent six point three million dollars over
a few years to generate buzz locally and then steal
(06:41):
the foodie tourists who are in Australia who turn their
one stop trip to Australia into a two stop trip.
Right first they go to Ozzie because Ozzie's got a
great foodi scene. Then they come to us because we've
got Michelin Stars and Ozssie doesn't. That's worth it for
six point three million dollars. If you are into the
idea that we need to in this country really hone
in on being a premium destination rather than a freedom
camper destination, then this is the kind of stuff you
(07:03):
should do. You lift your reputation as a food tourism destination.
You adopt the same so them the rest of the
world uses and understands and respects, and you indicate to
them that you are right up there with the best
in the world. In New Zealand has realized this. They've
just decided to focus on premium. As I've told you, clearly,
so has New Zealand. I reckon that six point three
million dollars will pay itself off faster than we think
(07:25):
with the foody tourists.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, I guess the rich, high spending tourists are the
ones you want, aren't they not? You don't want people
like me. I haven't even heard of most of the
restaurants that are on the list when it came out
last night that Paris battle one that everybody's been banging
on about. Only the first time I heard about it
was yesterday. I've obviously never been there. I have been
(07:46):
to Cassia.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's good. That is a good restaurant. As domestic manager
said last.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Night, it puts her off. We saw a lot of
we were away in Europe a few weeks back. I
know I keep banging on about it, but it's the
most exciting that's happened to me in the last twenty
thirty years, and we saw quite a few Michelin Star
restaurants and we just assumed that they'd be too fancy
(08:17):
for us, that we couldn't go anywhere near them. One
of the best meals we had was standing up at
a sort of a leaner.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
With some slices of pizza that were.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Charged by their weight and five dollars take our apioles.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
You think that one had a Michelin staff.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh that's good time, of course, if you are a
fancy share and you need fancy knives, and you know
the best place to get fancy knives right for free
from the supermarket.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
I think that it demeans us as a people that
we all get obsessed and hooked on a scheme that
makes no financial sense whatsoever. We spend a four sche
long groceries to buy to a stair as we get
something for free, which will be plates or knives or
something like that. However, I know that once these things start,
(09:20):
they can't stop, and the hypeer is huge. I need
to tell you that someone has let me know that
the smeg knives are back, So look at me. I'm
promoting it. So from the May sorry from July thirteen.
That's a famous day. Why is that famous? I think
July fourteen is famous? Isn't anyway? Does it best steel day?
(09:44):
Can you hear the people sing singing the songs of
angry men? Oh that's not best steel they that's something different,
isn't it. It is the music of the people who
will not be slaves again. As Jean Valjean.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I saw Rob.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
Guest on the Wall, which was good and lamers. But yes,
it's not about the It's about the earlier event anyway, Ah,
Jean Valjean, the French convict on his road to redemption. Anyway,
I don't even know where I've gone with that. But
(10:20):
that wasn't the French Revolution.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That was before that.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
But anyway, where am I going with that?
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Nowhere?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
But what's happening is that New World have relaunched the knives.
So it's May thirteen to get your knives. So get
in there quick, because what happened with those damn plates
and the brazier is it? Everyone's running out of the ring
and saying, look, who's got a brazier. I've been to
(10:47):
Papa mar, I've been to Petatado, I've been to I
can't find enough coupons the round of brazes. So for
God's sake, getting quick, if you're going to get into it,
get all in the knives.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Look really good?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, it sounds likery. Well, he's started off against it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Now he's worrit what's happened there? But a bit of
Lamers in the middle.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's right, then, it is a bit confusing exactly which
bit of French history Lamors is about. I've probably seen
that musical more than any other musical, and I still
don't really know which bit of French history it's about.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I mean, it's not really about any of it. It's
just made up.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
But yeah, you think that it is about the storming
of the Best Steel and the French Revolution. I think
it's sort of a prequel, a bit like one of
the Star Wars prequels, I think, except without a an
alien with a West Indian accent.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
News talk ze been.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I feel like this podcast has gone off the rails
a little bit earlier than it should have, because we've
still got a one segment to go, and be honest,
I don't think it's likely to go back on the rails.
As we listen to Tyler talking about how he irons now.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
I hate ironing with a passion. I think it's one
of the worst jobs anyone can ever do, ironing shirts,
and I have to as you can.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
See, this is pretty good today.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
That's a good job.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
It's not bad, eh, it's about ninety five percent crease free.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Y's good man, y.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
So the heck is that I chuck the shirt it's dry,
into the dryer. Then I put a wet towel, just
a small towel that I've soaked in water. So put
the wet towel in there with the dry shirts and
then chuck it on for about forty five minutes. And
then by the time that forty five minutes is done,
all of the shirts crinkle free. It's like it gets
(12:47):
the steaming done in the dryer, but a bang bit
of boom. My ironing days are over.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
But you shouldn't put shirts through the dryer.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Why is that just because they it slowly destroys them.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
It does feel a bit tighter than it did before
I put it in there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But also, how is that this has like quite a process?
How is that easier than just owning the shirt? What
you need to do is move in with somebody who
likes igning, because there are two types of people in
the world. There are people like Tyler who hate it,
and then there are people like I don't know, my.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Stepmother in law who loves it. Some people just love it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
They need to find those people and either move them
with them as a flatmate, as a friend, as a spouse.
I mean, there are plenty of worse reasons to marry
somebody you never look back, easier than flipping around putting
(13:55):
shirts in and out of the dryer. Or I mean,
then do you have to continue to dry the towel?
What do you do with the towel? It won't be
dry after only forty five minutes?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Will it.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
The worst hack I've ever heard? I'll see you back
here again tomorrow. There'll be more live advice tomorrow, no doubt.
