You're listening to a podcast from News Talks EDB. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
Used Talk, sed Be You Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Said Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean
for Tuesday. First of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart
and we are looking back at Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It was real.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's been really Zoo talks EDB over the weekend with
this around the park at kafuffle going on. Andrew Dickens
talks funerals, so that'll be fun. And Ryan Bridge talks Olympics,
which might be even more fun.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
But before any of that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yes, so President Biden still president for now, but won't
be come January.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And in just a few weeks, my view has shifted
from seeing him as someone being targeted just because of
his age, just seeing him as someone who just doesn't
know when his time is up, which is professionally tragic.
For someone like Joe Biden, who is so obviously dedicated
to doing his bit for society, you can't argue with
his commitment. He's had a lot of personal tragedy in
(01:23):
his life and the way things have played out for him,
this is a professional tragedy. Not surprisingly Donald Trump, he
hasn't held back. We might talk about what he said
that speech on Friday afternoon ninety minutes worth, but he
hasn't held back. Since Joe Biden's announcement, he's been saying
on social media that he reckons it'll be easier to
(01:43):
beat Kamala Harris than it would have been to beat
Joe Biden. I agree with Trump, as I said earlier.
Where has she been not to mention a couple of
other obvious things if she does end up being the
Democrats nominee, do you really think America is ready for
a female president, and not only that, a black female president.
(02:04):
But that's in the hands of the party itself. And
now she's got a big cell job on her hands
to get the numbers she needs for endorsement to be
the party's nominee for November's election. And don't think, well,
that's a November night. She's got just five weeks to
do it before the convention. If Joe Biden thinks he's
done the right thing, he's dreaming, because I think his
(02:25):
belligerence has had handed Donald Trump the presidency. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Bit of a shame for the Dems that the Biden
crew sort of didn't see all this coming, and yeah,
nipping add the bad get out of the race a
bit sooner. I swear there was always the plan. Wasn't
that always the plan? He was only even going to
(02:51):
do one too. I could have sworn that was what
he said.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
News talk.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Has it been?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's been the trouble lately, hasn't it. He hasn't always
been able to remember what people have said, even what
he said, sometimes even at the beginning of a sentence
to the end of the sentence. Anyway, how does Heather
see the landscape?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
He should not have endorsed her because clearly other senior
Democrats did not want her to be endorsed by him.
They did not want her to be anointed like this.
Neither and this says a lot, neither Barack Obama nor
Nancy Pelosi have endorsed her yet. And it's been a
number of hours. So it feels like, I mean, and
he knew that because that was expressed to him. That's
been all over the papers, So it feels like he's
(03:32):
just given them a massive middle finger, possibly in retaliation
for forcing him out. Now he's entitled to do that
if he wants to be a brat But what he's
done is he's laid out for all of us to
see how divided and shambolic the Democrats are right now.
I am sure that there would have been a lot
of people in the Democrats who would have hoped that
the division would end the minute that Joe Biden stepped down, right,
(03:52):
steps down, finally put the thing to rest, get on
with it and try to find the next person. But
what he's done by endorsing Karmala Harris's He's just made
sure that this goes on potentially weeks until the party's
national convention next month. Now, people have made a lot
of Joe Biden in the last few hours. That Sunger's praise,
that hero worshiped and this said he's been the best
president that they can remember in their lifetimes. Whatever. He's
(04:15):
just demonstrated what a bratty can be.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It is weird that a lot of the people have
been saying super nice things about Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
We're also the same people who were saying that he
should step down. I just can't everything about It's weird.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Let's be honest TALKI okay, weird goings on around a
park and it sounds like some kind of twisted, roll, dull,
dark kids story, doesn't it. A giraffe with a dislocated neck,
an otter.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Sucked into a pipe.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
It's it's kind of like what happened to the kids
and Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We're moldy kids.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, that's weird, all right, And of course it's coptably
saying that they don't you don't hear who were having
this discussion until something goes wrong, I'm aware, And then.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Zoos are the worst places on earth.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
It seems about a large number of people have become whistleblowers,
which is great, But I think a few things come
to mind for me. One is, during the COVID lockdown,
we all watch shows like Tiger King, and we all
became aware of the sort of people that get drawn
(05:37):
to the world of zoos, larger than life characters and
big egos and all the sorts of thing which kind
of I'd never thought of and set off warning bells
to me. But you know, I've never been to a
runa part. I've been to Auckland Zoo, I've been to
Willington Zoo. I've been to the New Plymouth Zoo. I've
(06:01):
been to the end Vocabulary Animal Enclosure. I've been to
a few of they've been to Taronga Zoo. And I'm
not someone that.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Is obsessed about the.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Rights of animals or animal cruelty or anything like that.
And for me, the views that I have about zoos
have been fairly slow to percolate. And I've got kids,
and I don't take the kids to the zoo though
didn't take them to wrong as I haven't take them
awk and Zoo as a parent. But yeah, I just
(06:38):
think that as time passes, some things that were considered
a great thing are no longer great things.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I mean, I don't think it's compulsory to endure and
hurt animals.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
That are in zoos.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think you can kind of be nice of them
and gives them quite a good life.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Like I say, you know, most people are pretty quiet
about it until you've got whistleblowers, you know, And obviously
there's probably some things that could be done better. But
I just sort of think, you know, some of these
animals that are endangered, the only place you might ever
see them again might be in zoos. Be ashamed if
(07:30):
you didn't get to see them at all. I don't
know right, So we're really on the countdown to the
Olympics now, end of the week, weekend all kicks off.
Can you contain yourself? I don't think Ryan can contain himself.
Wait do you hear how excited he is?
Speaker 7 (07:50):
So the men's high jump for those who are interested,
is on August the seventh, which local time, which means
it'll be the eighth for us. The opening ceremony is
this Saturday morning.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
The time is five.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Thirty am, so set your alarms, get up a little
bit early. Apparently the ceremony will peak at seven thirty
in the morning because that'll be the sunset in Paris. Anyway,
I just love this. It's our biggest ever athletics team
heading to Paris this year, apparently heading to the Olympics.
And there's nothing quite like sitting down on the couch
for hours on end with some Bicki's and a cup
(08:23):
of tea, watching these incredibly disciplined, unbelievably skilled and fit
athletes perform for the world. It's almost like, because you're
watching them do such athletic things that you don't feel
lazy for essentially just sitting and watching television for hours
on end. It is incredible. It is great to watch,
(08:45):
and there's something emotional about the games too, There's always
tears and joy and exhaustion. It's humans who are dedicating
themselves to something for years, for their life sometimes and
knowing all of that comes down to just a few
seconds in a race or a game or an event.
It's perseverance and dedication on full display, and I just
(09:06):
love it. So Hamish Curve to the recorded seventeen athletes
that we are sending from the athletics team and the
entire team of one hundred and ninety five kiwis who
will be wearing the fern in Paris, good luck we'll
all be watching, is it?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's a bit unfortunate that my first and overriding thought
when I think about the Olympics in Paris is that's
going to require a bit of effort because a lot
of the stuff will be happening at sort of peak time,
Paris time, which is also during the mic husting breakfast,
So I'll have to be once again, I'll have to
(09:43):
be learning intimately the rules of minor sports that you know,
nobody normally knows, like how many jumps you get in
the high jump, you know, through how many rounds? Who's
stolen contention? You know, suddenly I've been to become an
expert and all that stuff as we try and bring
you the results live and by god we will news
(10:06):
talk z bean. I'm just going to finish up here
with Andrew Dickens talking about burying his mum.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
My family plot, you know, over fifty years old. You know,
Lawrence died back in the fifties, and then his wife
Marjorie fothering him, got buried beside him. There's your two
burials right there. Then my dad went and died. Then
my dad went and died twenty eight years ago, and
so we said, well, what's happening there? And they said, well,
actually your plot is only a two person plot. You
(10:34):
can't do anything about dad. And I went, are you
joking me? This is a this is We're all going
to be buried in this plot, mate, this is Dad's
been cremated, We're already And so he said, okay, well
we'll bury him this once.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
And we did it.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
We did a little plark. We put it on underneath
the headstone and a freaky piece of whatever. My mother
had already written her name on the headstone in preparation
for her future death. And we used to take the
mickey out of her immensely about that. Anyway, I know. Anyway,
then my mum goes and dies, right, And so I
(11:08):
phone up our family funeral director who's buried five generations
of us, him and his father and his father before him,
and I went, oh, I got another one here, mate,
And he said, okay, okay, you could, you could, You
could get more space in your plot if you give
the council a thousand bucks. I said, I'm not giving
the council, buddy a thousand bucks. He said, okay, when
are you going to bury? When are you going to
bury your mom? And I said, well, we're thinking about
(11:29):
three weeks time. There's a Saturday when the whole family
can get free and come down and do it. And
he said, okay, Well, if you turn up on Saturday
morning early, you will find there'll be a hole there
and you can put your mum in there, really and
you know, and and there'll be a piece of earth
which has still got grass and put that over the
top and stamp it down so it looks like you
haven't done anything. And whatever you do, don't tell the council.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hilarious, hilarious story about Andrew Difference's good mum.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Who saw that coming. Eh, I understand the bury anything.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'd rather did something more useful with me, Grind me
up and feed me to the otters and the lions
and the tigers and the giraffes.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Oh my something. There's certainly a lot of weird medical
stuff going on with me.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I'm sure they'd be a bit of research there, valuable
research warnings. Don't don't live like the skuy did, but
like you lean up like this, that sort of thing.
That has been news to zid bean for Tuesday. We'll
see you back here again tomorrow, and it will be
Wednesday and we'll be looking back at today.
