Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Friday.
First of yesterday's news. I am ben Hart, and we
are looking back at Thursday. Young people are going to
spend the next twenty five years on a benefit. I
may have taken the I may have cut and pasted
(00:44):
the wrong details out of that story, but we'll find
out surely. Mike King wishes that people that have agored
a few details out of his comments. The other day,
Marcus considers an unusual tattoo choice, and Tyler and Matt
round up some Halloween stuff for some securing movies. Before
(01:06):
any of that gang viol's out of control. Our hospitals
Rhan Bridge with the details. What are you supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Doctors are at work, nurses are there. Cab driver has
a minor accident with gang members in the hospital car park.
Gang members attack the cabby. Another cabby comes to his rescue.
He gets beaten up, taken into the One of the
cabbies gets taken into the ed and hidden. Because the
gang members were threatening to kill him. Cops arrived, two
(01:34):
cops starting out, They get beaten up, the cop car
gets attacked. This is daylight on a Wednesday in Palmeston,
North while people are trying to get healthcare. Six police
cars end up having to come. They pep spray and
they taser, and finally the situation is pulled under control.
I mean, this makes me, This infuriates me, makes me
(01:55):
so angry hearing about this. But what's going to fix it?
A labor government, a national government? I don't think so,
you know, wrap around services. No, I don't believe it.
Harsher sentences. I don't think in situations like this, they're
listening to our politicians. I mean, what do you do?
What do you do? Take your own taser to the
hospital probably the most reasonable response, I think. I mean
(02:22):
that's what sort of them out us today, isn't it
get your tasers out?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Last time I checked, I don't think we're allowed our
own tasers. I don't think it's only trained police officers,
or it might be wrong about that. You've probably got
one together, can't you. How could a taser be to mate?
He's been a really big battery.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I guess news talk has it been right?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So apparently the.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Time spent on benefits is still wildly out of control
and that young people can expect to spend between twenty
and twenty five years on the benefits or something. This
doesn't quite it up, is it.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
You might be struggling, you might think you're worthless, you
might think life is hopeless, but do not let your
legacy to your kids be the same miserable existence. Listen
to Education Minister Erica Stamford, who was on the My
Costing Breakfast last week.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
I've been very clear about the drivers of inequality, and
it is poverty in this country. Your means determine your destiny.
It is almost the one single factor that is the
cause of that yawning gap, which is why when you
turn up to school, we need to cloak you in
that protective factor that is education.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
That is what so many families for hundreds of years
have seen education as a protective cloak. That means they
do not have to live the same life as their parents.
But then that is what parents wanted. You always want
your kids to do better than you have done, to
be better parents, to have more options, to live better lives.
(04:10):
When the hell did parents stop wanting more for their children.
So yes, the figures are grim. From the Ministry of
Social Development, young people age sixteen to twenty four who
are on a main benefit can expect to be there
for twenty years. And we have more than eighty thousand
(04:32):
kids coming up over the horizon, unskilled, uneducated. Unless we
change our ways and we change them now.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, So, as I always say, never ever ever never never,
never ever never ever ever never have kids and all
these problems go away.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You talk sibe.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Right, Let's move on to somebody who created a real
problem for himself this week, Mike King. She has some
pretty random things about drinking and mental health and that's
really landed him in the poem.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
I mean, I was absolutely expecting the anti alcohol people
to get wound up, but.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
They often do.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
But I was not really expecting that the Labour Party
would go quite as far as they have. They have
today called for government funding of gun Boot Friday to
be reconsidered. Now just consider what that means. Right, they
are asking the government to stop helping people deal with
their mental health health issues because of what Mike King said.
Is that reasonable? I mean, let's be clear, what's going
(05:35):
on here. This is political. There was a time when
everybody loved Mike King. Everybody thought he was a good
guy doing good work for mental health. But then he
became a political figure, didn't he Because he took on
Jacinda ardn when she was Prime Minister. He had a
public scrap with her because her government pulled funding for
his charity, handed back his Order of meritst metal. The
Nats then adopted him, They funded his charity once they
(05:57):
got into government in a way that the Orders in
general is not totally happy with. And now people are
split on whether they love Mike King or not, and
probably in some cases that split will indicate pretty much
how they vote now. I'm not saying Mike King is
above criticism. I'm not saying Mike King's above scrutiny or
that this isn't a a debate worth having about what
he said. I'm just saying bear in mind that when
(06:19):
we do have this debate about what he's just said,
this isn't just about mental health, This isn't just about alcohol.
This is also very much now about politics.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I also think it's a valuable lesson on the difference
between an advocate and an expert, and just because Mike
King has had his own battles with his own mental
health over the years, which is of course what's condient
to be a fantastic mental health advocate. It doesn't actually
(06:49):
mean that he is a qualified expert, because that's a
bit like saying that somebody who has cancer is a
oncologist because they've had some cancer treatment. Doesn't quite work
that way, doesn't it. All Right, So Halloween yesterday, we'll
get into that shortly. I don't know if Marcus and
(07:12):
the Dead Hits and the tattoos were anything to do
with that, though.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
What do you reckon about when your pet dies and
you get a tattoo of that pet. I'm seeing a
lot of people advertising dead pit tattoo services, and I'm thinking,
if I had a pet that died and got it tattooed,
(07:37):
that tattoo would either remind me of my dead pet
or it would remind me of the poor decision I
made to get my pet as a tattoo. And I
reckon it would be a really fine line, because what
you need to do is take a photo of your
pet when it was alive, find a tattoo. Parl of
(07:59):
that's good show. The tattoo part of the pit and
then it's in their hands. So what do you reckon
would have happened? You reckon people would be disappointed with
the tattoo of their pet or excited because I reckon
the chance of it looking exactly right would be really
slim because, for a start, if you've got a photo
(08:21):
of a pet, when you're looking at that photo, you're
imbuing it with its personality because you know what it's like.
But when it's actually then tattooed on your arm and
that could be a rounded shape, yeah, I reckon it's
a really risky thing to do.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And so as usual a further supermarkets. I've got a
lot of questions, why is he seeing ads that getting
your des tattooed? Like, what are you searching up that
the algorithm has the side of the extra kind of
ads that you need to see. That's my main question. Also,
(09:02):
you've just better off just getting the name or just
not never getting tattoo.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It's going to be my other I will be anything
news talk z.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Bean Okay, Halloween Halloween goods I met in Tyler Handon's
store for us the Halloween.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I did see one that years ago. Mel Gibson and
Yokwan Phoenix called Signs.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Oh yeah, Signs, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Blood and go one but bloody hell. And it scared
the pas out of me.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
I'm a huge m Night Gemerlin fan, obviously, Sixteens Sixteens
is phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I love the village.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
I love them. I mean they're they're up and down.
I like knock on the on, the knock on the
Kevin door whatever. It was their most recent one. But
Signs is interesting, isn't it? Because that's a horror movie.
But it's about aliens, and in the nineteen fifties alien
it's really.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Scary for people. It's not said in the nineteen fifty no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
What I'm saying is that in the nineteen fifties lots
of horror movies about aliens and the m Night Shamala
and brought that back with Signs being scared.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
The suspense you don't see the aliens too well in
the movie The Noises in the Cornfield and when that
dog goes running out of it and then it goes silent, Yeah,
and it just brings it all back. I've actually said
to my kids, never watch this movie.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
It is terrifying. Yeah, greats at the end, as a
lot of his movies do have well.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
I'll get a bit of a dodging twist. But but
the thing is cornfields. Corn there's something terrifying and they
come up a lot in American horror films, just being
chased through corn fields, getting lost in corn fields, things
coming out of the cornfields.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
You're going to have And what's the.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Other one, Simon, Hostile that's a little bit of a
blood and gore, but you to suspense, well, it's not
all about the blood and gore, but it's bloody scary.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Thank you so much for your call, Simon.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
But again two movies. As you mentioned, you don't want
to end up in a cornfield at nighttime that you
know nothing good can happen from that. Same with Hostel.
You just don't want to go to East East Europe
and any time of year.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Probably the scariest thing about that was the way that
that guy pronounced working Phoenix's name, and there was unusual
and unexpected hit me on the edge of the seat.
Sounds like they were having a fun time talking scary
movies yesterday afternoon. I hope you had a fun time yesterday.
(11:35):
I hope you have a fun weekend, and we'll be
back here for more fun on Monday with a weekend
edition of the new Talks.
