You're listening to a podcast from News Talk SEDB. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio
Used Talk SEDB.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You talk said, Well, my good.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Cole beanis and welcome to the Bean for Tuesday. Follous
with yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart, and we are
looking back at Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Gangs are still ganging, hopefully are we hopefully giving them
under control? Or note the economy.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
A lot of economic announcements this week seems strange.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's close to Christmas.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm sure there's no connection between that and the fact
that Mike Hosking is a nine year here at.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Newsdworks ERB at the moment, video games.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Just the usual sort of angst over video games and
parents not being able to communicate with their kids because
they've got their headphones on. And Marcus is in dismay
over the state of McDonald's burgers. But before any of that,
there's a domestic and sexual violence plan.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I think the plan is to try and stop it.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
If this stuff the government's going to do has any
chance of succeeding, then we need to stop being a
nation of scaredy cats. And I'm I'm cluding myself there
because There have probably been countless times where I have
turned a blind eye, or considered myself too busy, or
any of the millions of excuses we can be very
good at coming up with to avoid getting involved, the

(01:41):
old don't get involved approach, That yelling next all has
been going on for quite some time now. Maybe I
should poke my head and oh but if I do, I get
the supermarket, there'll be nothing for the lunches driving home
late at night. That young woman there looked pretty drunk.
Probably shouldn't have been able to roainl like that. Eh,

(02:01):
maybe I should go back, and maybe I should go
back and check on her. I've got an early start.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You need to get some sleep.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Time and time and time again, we come up with
excuses not to do anything, and that is what needs
to change for me. That is the one big thing
we could all do or not do, to really make
a difference and to give this twenty five year plan
to eliminate family violence and sexual violence by twenty forty
six some chance of success.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
So yeah, that's John McDonald going out nationwide on the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Show this week. Sounds like he's sort of rounding up
a gang of.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Vigilantes to carry out the government's action plan there.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm exaggerating. Nice to hear from John everywhere and not
just in christ yurt for a change news talk has it.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Been meanwhile, as we really hop into the people standing
in for other people on other shifts part of the year.
Andrew Dickens is ourn early addition at the moment, wanted
a word about the gang.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
I support the patch band. I don't mind the patch band,
but I've always warned that it will not make a
huge difference. It's not the only thing. It's not the
silver bullet. It is an inconvenience to gang members, but
it's not a deterrent. I'm old enough to remember the
real intimidation of the patches. Remember them. They were worn
twenty four to seven on filthy leathers and by filthy
sociopaths who committed filthy and unspeakable crimes in their leathers

(03:32):
all day every day. These days, though, if you look
at the patches, look at them, they're pristine. The leather
is spotless. It's their Sunday best. It's like a gang tuxedo.
It's what you wear for funerals and birthday parties. But
when you're selling the drugs. You're a mufty because you
don't want to be identified easily. And I think that

(03:52):
we need to remind ourselves about this. The gang big
wigs are becoming your neighbor. They live in your suburb.
They drive Merks, not Kingswood's. They have degrees, they have brains,
they have very good lawyers, and they'll order a hit
no problem at all. So you worry about their patches.
They're doing the big business. I am way more intimidated

(04:14):
by those guys than some Patch dude riding a horse
and hawks Bay, who, by the way, had no shoes off.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
But enough of a fan of shirtless horse riding's that's a.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
What are you doing there? Is that called pulling a putin?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Is what it is? Because the next thing you're shirtless fishing,
aren't you? And then shirtless wrestling or jiu jitsu or
what was it he was doing that time. I haven't
seen too much of the shirtless pootin lately, and I'm
quite happy about that.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
H's talk zid been right now right.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Bridge of course, is a regular host, but he's in
an irregular place at the moment.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
He's hosting the drive shows.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Big Week, Big Week Ahead, a lot of money talk
coming up.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Let's say your old man's a gambler, right. He's been
spending the family's harder money down at the pokes. Everybody
knows it. But he always promises to do the right thing.
He promises he'll pay it back and he'll balance the books.
But he never did that. The family accounts kept sinking
further and further into the red. And though this is
not some kind of ad for problem gambling, don't worry

(05:24):
until you decide to hand control of the accounts over
to Mum. Now she is much tighter with her spending.
She never gives out lollies. You reuse the backside of
last year's one B five textbook No jurusale on the
top of your books from Mum. Let's call Mum Nikola.
Willis right, and her job is to get us back
in black Well tomorrow. She is going to push a

(05:46):
return to surplus out by another year, and she already
did that last year. She is spending less, yes than Dad,
but not by a massive amount. Plus we're not earning enough.
Uncle David's promised to cut red tape, but all we've
heard from him is about drinking piss at the hairdresser.
So far, Uncle Chris, what did he promise us? Well
in FTA with India, But chances of that are more

(06:09):
mild than hot at this point. Tax cuts haven't kicked
growth yet. And what about Uncle Don, the old neighbor,
the sun burnt neighbor from next door. He's threatening us
with tariffs, which could derail the whole damn thing. The
thing is, we know we'd be bankrupt if Dad was
still in charge, but we're not quite sure that Mum

(06:31):
has us under control yet either. Tomorrow we will see
how much damage has been done and how much longer
it'll take to balance the books. And till then, we're hopeful,
but still a bit uncertain and unsure of where things
are going from here.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, certainly, I think you want to leave things.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Up to Mum, the comings and goings. Bad things happen,
you try to get involved with that. I certainly don't
want any influence from Uncle God. He's definitely one of
those dodgy uncles.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
That you don't want to have anything to do with.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
We're going to stay on a family relations I don't
mean relatives, I mean you know, the relations between family members.
Because if somebody is into gaming in your house. It's
hard to get a word out of them.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Isn't a sense of a word.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
I think a lot of people that are texting into
the show today that are very angry about games don't
really know a lot about them. But there is a
thing with gaming when kids have got headphones on, there's
dials into their computer where there's not much of an
in for the parents. And I guess if you're a parent,
you look at that and you go, I don't know
what's going on there. I don't like it. I wish
they were out playing rugby, and you get angry about it.

Speaker 8 (07:55):
Look like I'm thirty two now and I've got a
six months old daughter at home, and I for the
first four months of her life, I made a point
of not getting on the computer and playing, and now
I only do it when she goes to bed. I
will not play computer games when she's awake. I know
how important those first eighteen months are. So I will
not go on my phone or the computer when she
is away, and so I wait till she goes to beers.

(08:17):
But even then I feel guilty. And this is another thing.
This is another thing that I think we need to
look at for teenagers as well, have we considered how
guilty they feel at actually playing it. It may be
that they're going through something at school. It may be
that they're using the game as a form of escape.
You know, your previous caller was saying that she likes
to get on the game and get away from the
real world. I think that is quite an exaggeration to

(08:41):
say get away from the real world, because let's be honest,
games are in the real world. But it's definitely a
way of us getting away. And for teenagers, we deal
with so much. It might be your first girlfriend or boyfriend,
of break up, bullying, all that kind of stuff. So
when we get home, it's our safe place. So I
think for any parents out there, if they've got a
kid that's going through some anger issues and they're playing games,

(09:02):
really gently goes to them and say when they've got
the headset on, could you just do it with one
ear open.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Only thing about that is that I'm literally recording this
podcast with one his phone up on my left ear
and the right one is off my ear.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
That's sort of pretty standard for me.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
So I'm in a radio studio, I sort of have
to keep an ear on what's happening.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
If who are asked while I do this?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
So I felt I really felt like those guys were
talking directly to me there.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
And when I'm at home I kind of have this
twenty year ear about as well, because.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
It is annoying when you try to talk to somebody
he knows that you listen to a podcast or something.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Wouldn't that John, everything's a.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Con views, But I make sure I just sort of
lean to the side when people at home talk to me.
So I'm still giving my full attention to the podcast,
but I've got quite good at making it pretending that I'm.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Listening to them. That's brilliant. That's my buzz us talk,
zip Bean. I've got a bit of burger anged Marcus
as the last night. Oh he's still in the right place.
He's still hosting the right show at the right Marcus.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
I've just driven from Duneedin to totong Is staying in
kaik Colder last night, and when I got to ty Happy,
I saw a sign for a Kiwi berg and I
had to stop. I wish I hadn't. It looked like
they had kicked it around the floor before they put
in the box. Certainly not like the photo or not
like they used to be. Here we go, But when
are McDonald's gonna start caring more about when they assemble

(10:38):
their food? Because I quite often twice a year get
a pilet o fish. Well, I pronounce it the French way,
I think something you would call it philate filip of fish.
I call it filet just because I felt ironic that
McDonald's could try and garner some old dunk and garner

(10:59):
some French kind of sophistication. We called it a filet
o fish. But looks like they put one end of
the bun and the tati sauce in one.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Half of the Okay.

Speaker 9 (11:13):
They get that box, that clam box, and they open
it up. They put one half of the bun in
one side of the box and the other half of
the bun on the other side of the box. They
put the cheese in one side and the fill it
A and the other side, and then they just flick

(11:34):
the two sides together. They're never actually making the burger
and actually assembling it and then kind of putting slight
pressure down to make it one. So you're quite right.
The quality control of the ingredients is shocking. Maybe they'd
be better off having a see through a see through container.
They have a quick look at it before it goes

(11:55):
out there, because it does they are so badly assembled,
with no love showing at all.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I think it's probably unusual for a McDonald's worker to
put two actual love into the assembly of their burgers.
I don't know that for most people who are working
at McDonald's. They're doing it as a sort of a
passion project. It could be wrong, because there's probably a
few exceptions out there.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But the super into it. I mean, it is called
fast food.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
It's not called you know, artisan, take your time, get
it exactly right food. Was it in saying that it
only takes one bad experience to put you off.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
But when they first buught out the Angus burger, I
don't know if you recall back to it, I thought
that sounds quite good, sort of.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
A higher quality beef burger. I'll give that a crack.
And it was barely cook.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
It was quite cold, barely cook like literally read called
pink in the middle, and that I couldn't go near
McDonald's for.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
A long time after that. It was disgusting.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I met this sort of the age and stage of
life now where I've got the financial security to go
to Burger Fuel rather than McDonald's at an Iron Rebel
the other night. If you tried that just so, there's
a beef burger in there, and there's also shredded beef
in there.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
And I'm not really a red meat.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Either, but that was actually quite tasty. I don't know
what made me try it. I'm normally a modified Thunderbird
MODI fried Keybooth. I don't know why they're give them
such stupid names, but the one with the hailipinos on it,
but sometimes you know you want to change that. You
so hungry at the end of the podcast. Why does

(13:48):
that always happen? I can't see if I can find
something to eat. A part from the overrighte Banana and
Mother Freethcase and were back tomorrow with more Burger news.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I know it's probably who knows what it would be about.
It might be us talk as normals.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
It bean
