You're listening to a podcast from News Talk sed B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on
iHeartRadio Used Talk SEDB, You Talk.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I'm Glen Hart and we're looking
back at Tuesday. MP's getting paid for a living in
Wellington when they don't live in Wellington? Is this just
more rich shaming? Suce be a bit of a habit lately.

(00:44):
Mike versus the White Tongue You tribunal. It's not a
court case or anything, it's just as ongoing. Then Dia
what you use your Apple watch for? And Supermarket Trolley Talk.
Marcus has a crazy take on supermarket trolleys, which you're
going to have to stick around for you won't believe it.

(01:05):
But before any of that, ore ram raids. Have you
heard the radom raid news? No, No, you probably haven't. Well,
you guys probably have, but a lot of people haven't.
Why is that and what is the news?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I am just jolly glad that the number of RAM
raids have gone down because the reduction in RAM raids
is a reduction in trauma. It's a reduction and upset.
It's a reduction and financial loss and the expense of
policing these wee ois. You know, the katahi te fakada
was not cheap. But if it was working, all well

(01:41):
and good. I don't know about you. I have noticed
fewer gang patches on the street, less obvious swaggering, but
that is only anecdotal. I would love to hear from
you as to what your anecdotal experiences. Is the message

(02:01):
that's been sent, and you would have to say it
started with labor. When it went to the ram raid
Offending and Related Measures Amendment film, they were the ones
that introduced it because they knew the public had enough.
Is the general message of up with this? We will
not put made so loud and so clear that the

(02:23):
gangs have had to pull back a bit from the
obvious swaggering from the we own the streets, we own
the stores, We'll do what we like. Or is it
just a change in business and inverted commons direction from them?
Or is it something that ram raids have gone out
of fashion? If only murdering babies would go out.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Of fashion, Well that went to a dark place right
at the end. There did not see that coming and
then things devolved into a kind of a petty discussion
on what constitutes a ram raid as opposed as a
smash and grab. All comes down to semantics, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
News talk? Has it been?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now? This whole thing about the bloke who has a
flat even though he doesn't live that far away from work.
Should he get the money for it or not? This
all seems a bit petty, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
This rule's got a change. And the only reason, like,
I'm totally arguing this on perception, right, The reason that
this rule's got to change is because it looks bad.
Because it is a terrible look right. I mean, most
people in this country just move in with their husband
or wife when they get married. They don't get married,
move in and then go and hey, boss, just if
you could help pay off my new wife's mortgage, that

(03:43):
would be really great. Most of us just buy a
house to move in. If we relocate for a job,
we buy a house in the town that we're going into.
This what I did I move in. I didn't say
to my boss, you made me move to Auckland. Can
you help me pay for the mortgage? Police? I mean,
I get The point is that most of US do
not travel for work, we don't commute. We basically live
in the town that we work in, and that is

(04:03):
a difference. But frankly, that stuff is starting to that's
like starting to get into splitting hairs. Terrys explaining is
losing here. This is just a terrible perception. It just
is a terrible perception. And you know it's a terrible
percession perception because we've now had two days of stories
about two MPs who've done nothing wrong. We've had Chris
Luxon in trouble for taking the money doing nothing wrong.

(04:23):
We've had Bill English historically in trouble for taking the
money for doing nothing wrong. Clearly people don't like it.
Now my prediction is nothing is going to change because
MPs love this perk way too much. Who wouldn't, So
they're not going to want to change it. But they
should because there is a growing resentment towards the political
class screwing the scrum in their favor all of the time,
like taking a pay rise while they fire thousands of

(04:44):
public servants. And it led this perception of this growing
resentment towards the political class lead to the US in
twenty six twenty sixteen, voting led to them voting in
a clown like Trump just because he's not in the
political class. They're about to do exactly the same thing
for the same reason. Politicians can keep on taking the
entitlements that they are entitled to if they want to,

(05:04):
but they will not be respected for it, even if
it's in the rules.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh wow, Okay, so it's not as pitty as I thought.
I lived thirty two k's away from work. I just
wondering if that's fair enough to get some kind of allowance.
They're like here that says, that's my choice, and I
could I could live closer. I just got to figure

(05:28):
out where the closest place to workers. Possibly the last
place where work was the previous building. I think you
can live there now. That might be the closest place
that you could live. It would be weird though, moving
into old work. You's talk said Mike and the white

(05:49):
tongued tribunal. I'm pretty sure he's the only one who
cares about this stuff. But then he goes on the radio,
makes you care about it. That's what he does.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
The waters were somewhat muddied. If you remember when it
was suggested that orang a Tamariki might be their name
as well as kane Aura. Given they with the name,
most of us knew the departments by So how they
came up with that I don't know, although I assume
that they meant that. Given those two departments in particular
had spent a lot of time in the news, the
commonality of the reference might have stuck, which, if you
think about it, was sort of the idea in the

(06:21):
first place, wasn't it. I mean, having the vast majority
of us exposed to another language, especially an official language,
may help the language live, breathe, and expand. But what
also happened is Maori terms, names and phrases got tossed
about with mad abandoned and muddy the waters of comprehension.
The media have broadly, speaking in a fit of wokeism,
embarrassed themselves and impart further damage they're already damaged reputation

(06:42):
by embracing the activity with an alacrity that's been humiliating.
Tokenism is not language, but tokenism is what you get
a news bullet Since a peppering of Maori with the
English that leads to nothing more than a trendy nod
to a fat but it's a national crisis, apparently so
much so that taxpayer money must once again be dispersed
to lawyers and full time agitators to once again front

(07:03):
the tribunal who will write their usual report, which will
be treated in the usual way. What's the Maori word
for bin.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Ibo paa I is the that's rubbish bin In case
you were wondering, I wonder if it would have been
a little bit funny at the end if he'd said
throw it in the ego pata and then and there
would have been raged for listeners as they would have

(07:32):
to go and look up what he'd just said. I
would have found it funnier anyway, right, A big day
for Apple yesterday. There's a big keynote at the w
w DC Worldwide Developers Conference where they announced if they
were doing artificial intelligence, they were doing Apple intelligence. The

(07:53):
dad joke, he's obten to do that. Anyway. I don't
think there was anything to do with what Sion Dames
were talking about. I mean it was slightly to do
with it, because they were talking about their Apple watches.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
A little bit of a time check for you check
the watches your sundial if you be so lucky the
big hands on the seven.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Most people don't actually have those analog watches anymore.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
I love them. You've got an analogue watch.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Have you?

Speaker 7 (08:15):
No, I've got an Apple Watch. Apple Watch because it's
got all my steps on this so I count my
steps per day. How many of you done so far?
I'm checking now. I've burnt five hundred and twelve calories.
I've exercised four steps. I as I know. I'm just
giving that I've done fifty minutes of exercise because I
was on the treadmill for an hour this morning. I've

(08:37):
stood for more than ninety seconds eight out of ten
times steps and I've done five thousand and two steps
so far. Okay, I've i ate eight thousand by the
end of the day. Was that really boring? Radio?

Speaker 6 (08:48):
I started it and you dragged it out?

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Do you know the first thing I do? Sorry to
go on about my Apple Watch. This is this is
why people get addicted to technology. The first thing I
do when I wake up, and I normally wake about
four thirty am. I wake up, I put on my
watch because it's been on charge every night, strap it
to my wrist, and then I go to the heart
rate setting and I measure my heart rate.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
What is it generally at the beginning of the day.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Forty seven beats a man?

Speaker 6 (09:10):
Oh yeah, I'm in the forties, are you? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (09:13):
Man, seriously, that's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
I know it used to be mean that I was
very fit, and I used to be very fit. But
now I think it's as you get older it maybe
it goes slower. I don't know, but i am. I'm
I'm still under fifty. Even my doctor goes, oh, are
you okay, and I go, oh, yeah, no.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
Well, I was thinking forty seven is really good because
it does mean I'm fit, But now that you're doing it,
I'm thinking, holy crap, what does that mean?

Speaker 6 (09:36):
Maybe because I'm a maldi.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wow, Okay, I got a bit racial at the end
there that bit as well. For some reason, I'm not
close you're wife. I'm currently in the sixties, ranging between
sixty three sixty eight beats per a minute, just sitting
here doing this podcast. I'm not sure if that's I mean,

(10:00):
you don't want yet rate to go too low. You know,
if the time between beats gets too long, You're in
trouble there too, aren't you. It doesn't do blood pressure.
The apple watch. There are other watches out there that will.
Other smart watches, the latest Samsung Galaxies will, but the

(10:23):
best one. There's a far Away watch, which obviously you know,
we're probably not allowed to use because the Chinese will
be spying on us with it getting out blood pressure details.
But it actually has like a cuff that goes around
your rest that flats. This is I'm not making this up.

(10:44):
And when I was reviewing that watch, I discovered that
I had high blood pressure, and I went and got
some pills for that. I don't know if they're working,
because I went to donate blood recently and they couldn't
do it because my blood pressure was too high. I
don't understand why you can't give blood when your blood
pressure is too high, because doesn't it just squeeze out faster?
It says everybody a lot of time. Well news talk

(11:08):
ze been a people's blood is boiling over a supermarket trolleys.
Here's markets with the details.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
By the way, there is some beat up story on
TV one news tonight going on about people with supermarket
trolleys at supermarkets and whether they take them back to
what do you call that thing a shoot? What will
you call the stuff where the supermarket trolleys are kept.
You google that for me, Dan, I can't be bothered.

(11:36):
What would it be called a trolley bay? It doesn't
sound like a trolley bay. But anyway, I go closer
than push it with great gusto and hopefully it just
slots and that gives you a good feeling. But people
are rageful that some people won't return their trolleys. I'm
not so set and stone about that. I reckon the

(11:58):
supermarkets are extorting us so much with money that if
they want to pay someone to go and get the
trolleys and make the whole day easier for us, we're
having to tick out ourselves. If they want to return
the trolley, good on them. I've got no problem with
people just leaving their trolleys beside their car. I myself
choose not to do that. Don't have a problem if

(12:18):
people do do that, because what is that space, that
liminal space, that car park space. It is part of
the supermarket and they should manage it. They've taken all
your money for their overpriced goods. Yeah, but have kind
of the shaken out is can I take your trolley off?
You would be nice? They do nothing else you beg it,

(12:38):
you scan it, you pay for it, you drag it
to your car. There is no customer service. So if
one small way of getting back is just leaving your
trolley a kimbo by the car so they put it back,
I don't have a problem with that. I don't do
that myself. Creates work for people, and gosh, they're getting

(13:01):
rid of enough jobs at the supermarket. No, so I
probably have surprised myself. I'm probably slightly radical on this.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, that's an outrageous tape. This is one time where
I completely disagree with Marcus. I find myself incensed because
the problem with your supermarket trolley if you just leave
it is you can't get into the car pack, or
even worse, because I don't know, do you find that

(13:27):
supermarket car packs that are the windiest, most unpleasant climactic
places you know in town for the supermarket car pack
and then and the trolleys can blow around bump into
people's cars. It's not that hard, and you just need
to be a bit strategic about it. Some people like
a car pack close to the supermarket. That's not my priority.

(13:49):
My priority is to get close to that whatever those
things are called. I think there are trolley bays, aren't they.
I think he was being a bit facetious that he
didn't know that. And the other thing that annoys me
is when people, you know, how there's the big trolleys
in the little trolleys and there's two usually two shoots
in the trolley bay. Just keep the big ones and

(14:10):
the big ones and the little ones and the little ones.
It's not hard, guys, It's not hard. Come on, guys,
I believe it talks so long about Supermarket College? Is
that longer than Magus talking about super College? Super Market Rolls?

(14:30):
What a great podcast. You must be loving it otherwise,
why would you be here and why would you come
back again tomorrow if you weren't loving it.
