Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Bean for Tuesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart, and we
are looking back at Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Marcus is loving test Rugby again.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We'll find out why Ryan was just generally grumpy yesterday morning,
but at Monday morning grumpiness it's not what you want.
In on early Edition, and we'll get into the most
expensive Christmas tree I've ever heard of. But before any
of that, stalking laws that's what had Kerry wouldn't fired
(00:52):
up yesterday.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
They stalk to take revenge or right the wrong, or
they stalk to start or enact a relationship with the
victim that does not exist, as happened with my stalker
saw me on Talley, thought he knew me was somebody
with a sh anyway and wanted to engage. And when
I didn't engage, God increasingly angry. And a small number
(01:18):
of cases, stalking has a sexual motivation and can sometimes
be part of planning or preparation for a sexual assault.
The thing in common is that they will not be ignored.
They simply do not hear no. You know, if you
say leave me alone, the relationship is over. They don't
(01:40):
hear that. They know no, and so they will keep.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
At you.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
If they see you, or you might engage with them
at university or at work, or you might be nice
to them when they're having a rough day and they
suddenly misinterpret you know, they will take that benign interaction
and turn that into a much bigger story and which
you and they are the does and they can't understand
(02:10):
why you're not following the script, and they want to
make you follow the script. It is much much easier
these days to make people's life misery. All you need
is a smartphone, and all you need to do, really
is have precious little to do with your time, so
you can appear at odd moments. It would be incredibly unseently,
(02:33):
I can totally understand why so many people have been
lobbying to get stalking seen as a serious crime. It is,
as I say, I'm stunned it hasn't been seen as
one before.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, that's the weird thing about it, isn't it. It's like, hey, guys,
come on, get with the program. I think it's one
of it is one of those things he really just
assumes is being taken seriously, and perhaps it isn't.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I didn't take it seriously. Please use talk Zi.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It sounds like Marcus is getting serious about rugby again,
which is the opposite of what's happening to me.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm interested to hear his take on this.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
It was a great match, exciting right to head. I
like Scott Robertson. I like the team. The team doesn't
seem to have that arrogance or that born too when
attitude about them. They seemed to be battlers. They seem
to be good. That hooker was good. Loved it, loved
all of it. So it's taken me a long time
to get back on track with the all backs. Don't
know what put me off them, but just the one
(03:37):
all the time when they sort of but they were great.
They were really really good. Even enjoy the captain and
the way he doesn't say much. Liked all of it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So there we go.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I'm looking forward to France, looking forward towards and I
love the fact that we've got about six teams that
seemed to be able to beat each other on any
given day, and yeah, I loved it, absolutely loved all
everything about it, even enjoyed the halftime cheddar. I even
stayed around after the end, which I never do. They
went back to Scott Robertson. There were the men and
(04:07):
the woman asking him. It's great, men and the woman
was great.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So there we go. So world done for.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I thought it was a bit too over the top
with the commentator three fifty games and getting his grandkids
and stuff like that on the video. That's all right,
because the sad thing was I realized they're all here.
When did the commentators stop traveling? Would it be any
could been a commentator if you couldn't go to the matches,
(04:33):
surely Sky can send them around the world, because they
kept talking it after matches having a beer in the
hotel lobby. Well, they can't even beer in the hotel
lobby now can they're not traveling, just have a beer
at Sky headquarters at Elleslie anyway. But yeah, I'm loving rugby.
I found loving all sports at the moment. I've enjoy
(04:54):
loved seeing the Tongans at the stadium at Paramatta where
they went against the Aussie That was fantastic. Also, what
a great first half. That was the passion. Yep, that's
the market. That's the future tongue and flags. I don't
know how manych family you've got, but it's clear market
(05:16):
there for those.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I went and saw a production of Rent down in
Monica over the weekend. It saw definitely saw at least
two vehicles fistooned with tongue and flags. I love an
excuse to put up the tongue flags, don't they One,
(05:40):
you did an enormous flag on the top of it,
and then just a whole lot of varying other sizes
all over it. That what's the rules under your Warrior
of fitness as far as that goes, whether they take
them off and they take it in for a.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Warrant and then put them back on again.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Purely, Yeah, I couldn't gear less about rugby anymore. It
took me at least twenty four hours before I even
found out the results. But that game because primarily because
I thought it was going to happen on Sunday morning.
I didn't realize what was happening on Saturday morning. It
happened on Saturday. They played it Friday night and Island.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Is it what happened there. I don't know what happened there.
I literally I didn't see a single second of that game.
I don't know anything about it. Why do you work
in current events anyway? Glen Good question.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Talk side right.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I kind of feel like Ryan Bridge's role as host
of Early Edition is to see everybody about their day
with an agenda, and if it picked me up, it's
kind of like oral caffeine. That's what you want out
of it, isn't it. You don't want to just hear
a grumpy guy complaining about stuff, do you.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
David Seymour, he's on the show later this morning, just
before six o'clock, putting himself and his party ahead of
the coalition government. You could say, yes, it's politics, I suppose,
but surely issue number one is the economy and inflation,
not sideshows like this one. Besides Winston's moves on the
Treaty principles, references are likely to nullify anything Seymour might
(07:19):
get through anyway. And it's not going far because it's
got a first reading and that's it. Christmas Trees they
reckon Auckland CBDs eighteen meter Big Boy will cost rate
payers about eight hundred thousand dollars four hundred thousand dollars
up front, and then some maintenance and ongoing costs. I'm
immediately angry, but Christmas is coming, so I'm willing to
(07:40):
be reasonable. How many years will the tree last?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
What is the cost per year?
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Does that include ball bulls? Does that include lights? Are
they soul of powered? How's it going to work? I'm
interested to know, and I'm open to answers. Also, this
morning's speed limits have got me in just riled up
because I was on the why cit To Expressway at
the weekend. It's one hundred and ten kilometers. Now, how
often do we get to do that? You know, we
get this great freedom and then everyone's going at ninety
(08:08):
or one woman was going eighty five. Come on, speed up, people.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
There's two lanes.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There's two lanes of both directions on that row.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I'm not quite sure what the people who.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Wanted to drive fast actually really. It seems like every
single host on the station wants to drive fast.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
They know that.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Like the difference between going ninety and going one hundred
and ten, you might get to where you're going over
a long trip five minutes early, ten minutes early ooh,
down the farm, grow up. Okay, So you hear Ryan
talking about the Christmas tree there, that seems oh, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Eight hundred thousand dollars on a Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Tree when they're trying to milk and council is going
to save money wherever it can, Like, does anybody go, ah,
bit of a shame we don't have a giant Christmas
tree this year.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Four hundred thousand dollars of the total cost is being
funded by private organizations. None of us are even putting
hands in our pockets for this, right, it's heart of
the city. It's also precinct properties, which is a major
landholder and develop it now. I don't think either of
these organizations or organizations that were just waste money because
they got it for free from a bunch of rate payers.
(09:38):
They don't go around looking for things to spend their
money on, especially a landholder like precinct properties. They're only
going to be spending money because they see value in
spending money, and the value will obviously be in getting
families down at a big spending time of the year,
down to the bottom of Queen Street, spending some dollars
reminding themselves that the place was once a lovely place
and can be a lovely place again, and we do
not reed to need to re litigate how hard a
(10:00):
time Queen Street has had of it of late, and
how much they could probably on Queen Street do with
a crowd like this, a nice crowd of nice families
coming in a nice time to spend some money. If
there is something in this, I think that perhaps it
is that we need to remind ourselves while we pick
counsels apart, and frankly they do need to be picked apart,
we do need to remind ourselves that some of the
(10:22):
things that they spend money on still have value, even
if it is just in making a place just a
little bit nicer. So anyway, I don't like spending council money.
I don't like wasting council money. But at Christmas time,
given the state of Queen Street, given where this money
is coming from, I don't think that this is an
example of waste, do.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You, yep? Yep?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I do I Actually so it sounds like what we're
everybody just got the wrong end of the stick and
it's not going to cost as much to the rate
payer as everybody thought it was surely that couldn't it
possibly happened?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Could it? People just see a headline and run off
half cough? Surely not news talk? Has it been? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I don't know people saying, hey kids, let's go into
town and see the giant tree.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is that well? People? Maybe they do again?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I mean, I guess they used to go in and
see creepy Sanda, didn't they on the whick Gulls building
or the Farmer's building wherever it was.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
It was always weird when you saw the big Santa Claus.
When when he wasn't up against the Farmer's building, Yeah
he was, you could there was a there was an
area you could find him. They kept him in a
sort of a large field and bits. It's quite terrifying.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Why did they get rid of that ugly centers? Speaking
as a South Islander who's just comed up to Auckland,
I know it was very controversial. But what it was
his time to go? It was too much to keep
repairing them?
Speaker 9 (11:49):
I think I think it was it was too hard
to repair. I think it wasn't that he was creepy
with his little finger, this little cum heather finger. I
don't think he was put away for for creepiness. I
think it was, if I remember rightly, it was just
falling to pieces, and it was it was too hard
to put it put them up every year.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It was.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
It was very odd because you had that Santa Claus
for a while looked pretty creepy, and then they gave
him some plastic surgery like a face lift. They did
his eyes, and they did his forehead and tried to
make him look this creepy and spect failed terribly. I mean,
whoever thought it was a different era when you thought
that Santa Claus would have come here the finger and
just one winking eye was was going to bring good cheer.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Me laugh whenever I saw it. I think it's like
they can't remember exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Why they got rid of it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So it's like anything isn't It doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We'll move on. There'll be a giant Christmas tree. Is
it going to actually be giant or is it just
going to be expensive? Once again, let's not get blocked
down on the actual details of the story. That's not
that's not why I'm here, that's for sure. That's for
damn sure. I'm not interested in details, and you shouldn't be.
I'll be back here with more sort of bland reactions
(13:12):
to headlines and not taking down and do any details
behind the story again tomorrow. It's sort of the opposite
to what some other current of his podcasts, so I
guess see.
