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 the crime stats, or we
had some crime stats, and I think we're getting there slowly,
so Matt Mitchell doesn't have to quit. Lucky for him,
I suppose taxis are under fire. This is still fall
(00:47):
out from last week's Coldplay concerts where once again we
proved that he just can't do events in Auckland because
of the breed loses their minds, including the tachee drivers.
And then we've got some Jim etiquette concerns with Ryan
at the end of the pub. But first up, yes,
of course, Heckoi culminated yesterday the climax. I'm trying to
(01:10):
find the right word. I don't really know what it is.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I know for a fact that mary see to t
t or white tonguey is the one that was understood
and signed by the indigenous people of this country one
hundred and eighty years ago. And I think we need
to have that conversation first before we go anywhere there
pulling out you know, right, this is the one. The
other side of that too. You know, you've got the
(01:34):
English language not being an official national language here, just
a de facto and Mary being a first language here.
Now official national language, wasn't it, And.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I think I think they recently made English and official language.
But if they did, if we if they decided on
which particular treaty was the one they wanted to go with,
would you then be happy with that being locked in
place as it is and not being interpreted further from there?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Definitely? Definitely. But then you're also going to have the
other side of it, which you noticed all the old
older folks following the he Foker Puttunga plague, the Declaration
of Independence signed by all and King George back in
eighteen thirty five. So yeah, they an't going to be
having those ones going hey, hang on, there's no treatyism
(02:24):
mean nothing, this was signed before and this is a
declaration of independence. So I think either way you go,
you're always going to have those who go hey, but wait,
I just want to say, for the last one hundred
eighty years, we've led the world and showing how we
can live together.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Is Ben seem to know what he was talking about,
didn't he Which is unusual to have people having opinions
about the stuff with actual facts in history to back
on up. And I like the point at the end
that yeah, although people get upset and I want to
have their say about various things, at least we let
(02:59):
them do that. But then it's a complicated business news talk.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Has it been.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
As a black and white Here's what.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Heather think HIKOI did not feature by the looks of
things in the lives of the people at Bunnings, and
I suspect most of the five million people in the
country will feel much to and just got on with
their day. Not in Wellington unaffected. Kind Of hard to
shake the feeling that the Hikoy ended up being absolutely
a success, but kind of a bit of a fizzer
as well. It's weird, but I think it's because thirty
(03:32):
five thousand people, while a decent crowd, is pretty much
the same size as the crowd that turned up to
protest the Dunedin hospital changes. Remember that. Remember that was
thirty five thousand people that were pulled just from Otago
This is thirty five thousand feet people from across the country, right,
this is the whole more too, getting together. Otago does
thirty five thousand. The country does thirty five thousand. And
(03:53):
by the way, that's thirty five thousand people in Otago
without days and days and days of top of the
news media coverage. So one is clearly more impressive than
the other, don't you think. And part of the reason
it feels like a fizzle also is because the main
event already happened on Thursday, didn't it. It was the hacker.
We're still talking about the hacker. They talked about it
in parliament again today. It's hard to eclipse the hacker,
(04:14):
and the hecoy didn't eclipse the hacker, I would say. So,
while it is undoubtedly a success, and I'm very pleased
it was as peaceful as expected, it is now over
and we can go to back to doing whatever it
was that we were doing before in our lives.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So the Banning's reference to the heather went to Bannings
and got a Christmas tree. See your first choice for
a Christmas tree. Some things they do seem to have it,
They really do seem to have grown. The Christmas stuff department.
(04:46):
In the last few years. I've noticed a lot of lights,
that's for sure. And she's only just it's interesting that
she's only just buying one. Now do you upgrade? How
often do you upgrade your Christmas tree? Buying a real one?
(05:09):
You understand that it was a ten one, which is
the only time to get it for scar realizable. But
he sneezes all their way through those THISTI season is
stupid A pretty strong fields about that. I think I've
got distracted by Christmas trees and I've sort of forgotten
what she was talking about, which I think was the point.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Of what she was talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Talk right.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
One thing Matt Mitchell loves to talk about is cracking
down on Prime. It sounds like he has because and
he's got the stance to back him up.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Is that because a line has been drawn in the sand?
Is that because the focus of the police has shifted slightly.
I would certainly say the foot patrols would have helped.
Is it an indication from police and indeed from the community.
(06:00):
It was voters who said, up with this, we will
not put We could have gone one way, we went
this way. When it came to the polling booths. We
don't want to see any more softly softly. We would
like to see a line in the sand. When it
comes to crime, There's a lot more to do. There's
(06:21):
a lot more work to do around addictions. There's a
lot more work to do around mental health, because a
lot of those are precursors to crime. The crime is
not actually the problem, it's the addictions that are. But
so far, if you were to mark Mark Mitchell, what
would you give him a B plus as a very
(06:44):
good start.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm just trying to think how much crime has happened
to me personally since he's been in charge. I've got
my number plates nicked off my car. Sure if I
can blame him directly for that, And I'm not sure
if you dig down into those crime stats where number
plate theft features in there, whether that's up or down,
(07:06):
I'll to do a bit more research. Right. For some reason,
we're still talking about taxis after the three Coldplay concerts
in Auckland last week.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
What sort of you know, ositt forgetting that taxis are
still a famous and yet it's you know, one person
gets ripped off and it's medical news for days, if
not weeks there.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
I can't understand why Taxis was so incredibly slow.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
To adopt.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
The modern technology that they were the people that drove
people around, and Uber came and completely completely decimated their industry,
which must have been heartbreaking for the taxi people, but
entirely predictable, and as a result, I would say that
(08:01):
the taxi model is absolutely broken. So if you're getting
a taxi or playing for the infrastructure, the people that
aren'tswer the phones sometimes the people that dispatch texis sometimes
it's a much much, much more expensive model, and it's
(08:23):
a model that's dying on the vine. So yeah, look,
the last time I've got a taxi was because we
got one in Vicago. We'd come, we've been away. We
had to get a text from the airport to where
we packed our car. It was an exhorbitant amount of
money for a reshort trip. It was a It was
a not a frightening amount of money, not a heart
(08:45):
stopping amount of money, but certainly a lot of money
for a reshort trip. Unfortunately, in ver Cable there is
no Uber. But we should have walked, would have been
more fun, probably would have been quicker.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's not always practical to walk. That was it. There's
going by yesterday's revelation that Marcus wears gum boots when
he goes and collects power off the rock. I'm just
wondering if he was wearing gun boots when you got
off the plane.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Let's finish up here with Ryan has started just complaining
about stuff, not necessarily like national issues or regional issues,
even just literally just personal issues.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Do you know what really grinds my gears when I
go to the gym, and I go to the gym
because summer is coming and I don't want to look
fat when I go to the beach like the rest
of you, and I've been eating all winter, and these
things need to be done. What I've noticed is, you
know when you watch tennis and you hear the eh
ah ah when they're playing, that is happening at the gym.
(09:52):
I don't know if it's just my gym. I don't
know if this is happening at your gym. But can
we please stop the grunting? Is there a legitimate physiological
reason for you to do that? I don't think there is.
I've never felt the urge to grunt, or are you alive,
Are you dying? Why are you doing this? It's off putting,
(10:16):
it's inappropriate, and it's inconsiderate. Have a thought for those
people who are trying to work out around you, and
shut your mouth. I mean, obviously breathe, that's quite important,
but other than that, just shut up. Very off putting,
very annoying. It sounds like that bar bell is getting
more than a dead lift. Sometimes sometimes I listen to
it and I think, Oh, my goodness, is there going
(10:38):
to be a climax at some point? Oh good lord. Right, anyway,
there's my rant for today, not a bad one. I
used to go to the gym once upon a time,
back in the day. I'm just trying to think if
I was a grund.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
There's a certain amount of pressure, I think to make
it look like that you almost need to grunt, but
you're not really doing it hard enough. If you're not
like involuntarily grunting and groaning and squeezing, you know, what
you're doing isn't enough to make you do that, then
you're not working hard enough.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And I do.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I got to admit that sometimes I probably made it
look like I was on the verge of trunking and
groaning and straining when it wasn't really that hard. It's
the stupid thing about jims, isn't it. People shouldn't be
allowed to look at each other and compare each other.
Or is that what gym is all about? Maybe that's
(11:37):
why I don't go anymore. I very rarely feel judged
when I'm out walking the dog, which is my main
form of exercise these days, most people are looking at
the dogs. What got way off track there? I can't
Once again, I can't remember what we were talking about.
Doesn't matter, they're not I'll be back with more stuff.
(12:00):
It doesn't matter. Tomorrows is in.
