Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Tuesday employing gen Z workers and
the challenges the employers face doing that. We're going to
get into this shortly COP twenty nine. This would definitely
(00:43):
be the one where they sought out the climate and
start bringing global temperatures down. So that's good news. We're
going to have I think we're going to have a
news Talk's EDB hosts saying that some speed limit reductions
are justified. I don't wait to hear that, and biscuit
talk with Marcus at the end of the podcast, just
to leave us feeling hungry. But before any of that,
(01:05):
the abuse in care apology yesterday. That was the That
was the big one, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You hear of some exceptional individuals who are able to
I don't know how, find some purpose, find some meaning,
find a lifeline and make their way in the world.
They can open up their hearts enough to trust one
(01:31):
or two people and they can find their way. So
many cannot and have not. They're just too broken. Their
parents have failed them, people in authority have failed them.
People who said they could trust them, who knew how
to groom small, vulnerable children, desperate for love, desperate to belong.
(01:59):
Those predators knew what they were doing, all right, They
knew which ones to choose. So how on earth do
you recover from that. We've really got to ensure that
where we can the fundamental framework, where we can get
in and see what's being done. We can't with families.
(02:19):
We can't open the door of family homes and get
in there and put the torch on and shine that
light and flush out those predators. We can and institutions
and organizations, and we can't fail these children again, because
that's what they are. They might be adults now, but
(02:41):
they are still the children that were broken by the
very organizations that were meant to save them.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I find it amazing how often our new cycle seems
to sync up with what's going on in the UK. So,
of course, you know, within hours of that happening, the
archbishop in the UK resigns because of the abuse that's
been going on there. That nobody did anything about. So
hopefully the tide's turning slowly. Hanging there, guys, news talk
(03:13):
z been right, so the generation of eggs.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Gen z.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well at the beginning of the as I guess it's
just continuing, isn't it. After that boy, they're worried about
a lot of stuff at work. They won't they won't
do a job, and there's everything's just right.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Those student jobs are going to all those people out
there that are supporting these self services at my tea,
in the warehouse supermarkets. They are all the student jobs
and more for all of us that are supporting them
that don't get discounted groceries because it's saving those companies
employing staff students.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
I see what you're saying, yeah, Because I went through
a fast food drive through the other day and I
was talking to the person, and then about halfway through
the order, I discovered that it was ai that I
wasn't actually talking to a human at all, really, and
I thought, hang on, that could that would be a
great job for someone, That would be great for a
young person. And I'm talking to this creepy aid. I
(04:12):
didn't like it at all.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
No, Well, there you go, but kids. As I said,
we're employers and no one's going to like this, But
you don't know who I am. We had a rule
that we wouldn't employ anyone under the age of thirty six. Yeah,
it's definitely an age thing. Unless I've got a mortgage
your kids. It's WA's and up for me wanting Monday itis,
Friday itis, it's everything.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's completely illegal what she's talking
about there, But.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know what you're supposed to do about it.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Boy, I get it you talk.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Of course, one of the things young people are super
worried about is the end of the world. Yeah, they
just get so upset about things, aren't they, Because of
course that is happening, the end of the world. Temperatures
keep rising, and sure you could be any day now.
I guess once that whole I Shelfernwdatka floats off into
(05:13):
the ocean, and things are going to get pretty scary
pretty quickly. But I don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
The Paris Agreements at a crucial tipping point because Donald
Trump's going to pull out, even though we've been through
this crucial tipping point before. Last time he was in
our house is burning all the classics. And this is
the problem with Cop insert number here. No one really listens.
Every year they make the same pilgrimage and give the
same speech, and every year we shrug our shoulders and
(05:41):
wonder why doesn't the number ever match the year? Shouldn't
it be COP twenty four? Oh well, back to them
all for another coffee at Robert Harris. I also need
to pick up some presents from Kmart for the grandkids
this Christmas. Things to do. If the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing every year, over and over
and expecting a different result than these guys are beyond nuts.
(06:05):
The big push this year is finance. They wanted rich
countries supposedly like ours, to pay one hundred billion dollars
a year to poor countries to stop them from burning
coal and adapting to climate change by twenty twenty. Well
we missed that goal, and now they want a trillion
dollars a year. That's one thousand billion or four elon musks.
(06:25):
Despite all the talk and flying around in threats and
end of day's speeches, global emissions went up last year,
reaching record levels. Do we care about climate change? Yes,
enough to change our habits in a major way. No,
we keep electing leaders to fix other things like inflation,
and until that changes or all of our houses actually
(06:48):
do catch fire, will be at them all down at
Robert Harris not listening to Azerbaijan.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, exactly. It's just so hard saving the words, just
really hard, and you've just got to make too many sacrifices.
So yeah, like I say, don't worry about it. Gately,
there's just no meeting of the minds because you've got
the people at cops saying things like all we need
(07:15):
to do is just completely reinvent the global financial system
to focus on climate change. And yeah, I don't know
if there's like six easy steps to do that. Oh well,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I think it was this time yesterday that I was
complaining about how it seems like every newtual ZV host
just wants to drive fast all the time and wants
the speed limit to go up and complains about people
you know who drive too slowly, and yeah, and the
wake of this horrible incident in Australia where the kindy
(07:58):
teacher was killed, seems like Heather's leaning the other way.
I don't know, what's happening here.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Since the nineteen seventies, parents have increasingly stopped their kids
from just going outdoor and outdoors and playing around the neighborhood,
you know, just roaming around on their bikes or roaming
around with other kids. And the reason that they've stopped
them from doing that is because parents are scared of
traffic and how fast it's going. And with good reason,
right if you think about it, think about how fast
the cars go in your neighborhood. Is fast. I live
on a thirty k road. No one does thirty ks.
(08:28):
I don't even do thirty ks. We all go way
faster than that. Now, the good news in New Zealand
is that, because of recent rule changes here, all schools
in the country are going to have lower speed limits
during school hours by the end of twenty twenty seven.
But gotta be honest with you, I don't reckon we
should stop there. I reckon we need to find a
way to slow down traffic around where kids live and play.
Just across the board. I get that it's going to
(08:50):
drive people absolutely bonkers having to slow down all the
time around parks and houses and schools and stuff. Would
require us sacrificing our time as adults. But I think
for the benefit of going as fast as we do
around kids, we are actually sacrificing quite a lot, which
is their best childhoods, and I think we need to
slow around them, don't you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So quite a holistic kind of a view there. I
think I sort of understand what she was getting at.
But as I said yesterday, how much time are you
really saving by going zoom zoom zoom. It's minutes. Yeah,
(09:30):
I just don't get it myself. Maybe I'm just an
old Nana driver.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
News talk Ze bean.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Right, we're gonna finish up there talking biscuits. What a
great thing to talk.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
I reckon.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
We've got a problem with biscuits, everyone seems, how do
I say this elegantly? Too many rubbish biscuits covered in
chocolates that taste of nothing. I think Cad Breeze or
whoever's making the biscuits is using chocolate to disguise meaning
(10:03):
meaningless tasteless biscuits. Or if you go to a shared
place and there's biscuits, they're no good. You notice that
they're more like chocolates with a biscuit inside them. They're
not biscuity enough like a rocky road, all those sorts
of ones. I think the mallow puff was the beginning
of the end, and they've all gone that kind of
(10:25):
all mouth and track, you know, all looks and appearances
but no substance. And I'm thinking back to the good
old days of the farm baked biscuits where they called
farm bake.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Or home bake. Could you call them a home bake?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I thought there's a type of home bake, farm bake anyway,
someone will know are they're home bake anyway?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
So yeah, I've got a problem there.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
With biscuits, aren't. It's farm baked, very very good, But
these ones is the shelves are full of just rubbish
at the supermarket. I think if there ever was a
golden age of biscuits, it's not now.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, I don't think Cabury make biscuits. I guess is
there a parent There always seems to be a parent company,
doesn't there In these days you thought that you think
that Cadbrey is the parent company, the big company, but
then there's somebody who owns them, and then they probably
also own a company that makes biscuits, and then they
(11:22):
use Cabrey chocolate on the biscuits, but yeah, I don't know.
I don't. Are there Cadbury biscuits as suck? Not sure,
but I don't. Yeah, I love chocolate biscuits, and the
more chocolate and the less biscuit you can have.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
That definitely works for me.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And I'm not I don't even really have that sweet
of tooth love. I mean, I love a cracker as well.
It's husy cracker, but it's fun. I've just been listening
to a podcast recently, one of my podcasts, TOEFOP. I
won't get into it too much, but they've decided to
(12:03):
introduce a segment called Cracker Pack a few a month
or two backs, and they basically start each podcast by
trying a different biscuit, and they seem to have a
problem when biscuits are too chocolatey and two sweet as well.
I do wonder if this is an old people thing,
and so I'm going to cling to my youth and
(12:23):
celebrate chocolate biscuits. What's Mark has got against mellow Pass?
You can't how can You're not like a Mellowpas anyway?
I am a glen Hart starving now absolutely starving. That
has been used to what they've been and we'll be
back with more. I think I definitely farm Bake is
what the name of those funny day he finds for
(12:45):
farm Bake cookies if he couldn't remember the name of them,
obviously they didn't have very much of an impact on them,
just saying I'll see you back here again tomorrow.
