Speaker 2 (00:21):
Said, Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean
for Thursday. First with yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart,
and we are looking back at Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
How confident are we feeling?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Another one of these confidence surveys has come out, and
so that'll be definitive. That'll us know for sure how
we're all feeling. It's good to have somebody tell you
how you feeling, isn't it. We've got more cops on
the beat. Is that good or bad? Those two people
(00:55):
up in space? Aren't there anymore? Back down here with
the dolphins? And what's happening with the eleventh Saw movie.
I know you've been wondering about this, so we'll tell you.
But first up, apprenticeships the path to work for kids
who aren't really into.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
UNI, learning a trade is hard work. And if you
haven't been inculcated into a culture of getting out of bed,
turning up on time and putting in a full day's work,
or if you have but you don't like the sound
of it, you'd much rather float around university and just
sort of see if you can find something that sparks
(01:38):
joy well, then a trade is not going to appeal,
is it? And I wonder if that is what it is.
It's like the young people who look at their parents
who farm or who own their own businesses and work
six seven days a week and think, no, not really
for me, thanks very much. That is far too much
like hard work. I wonder if that is the problem.
(02:01):
We've been tinkering and throwing millions and millions of dollars
into trying to get young people into apprenticeships, but they
look at influences on TikTok and they think, huh, do
I want to do that? Or do I want to
get up at five point thirty, travel into work, work
(02:22):
really hard for the day, and then come home and
do it all again tomorrow. Love to hear your thoughts.
I'm only guessing. I'm only surmising. You're the ones on
the ground, You're the one with your boots in the mark.
You tell me, is it all about snobbery when it
(02:43):
comes to your own children? What do you want them
to do.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
But get out of my house. It's all I want
them to do is to go away. From me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And stay away and not come back. Because they did
go away and then they came back again. When your
kids are too old to be referred to as kids,
they shouldn't be in your house if they either both
go away at the same time. Again, we're gonna move.
We're going to move somewhere smaller, and we're not going
(03:17):
to give them the code to the front door.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
News talk ze been.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Harsh parenting there, but you know these are harsh times,
or are they?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Where are these green shoots? I keep hearing people talk.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
About promise land anywhere with a rural backbone, people are
feeling good. You've got dairy prices up, you've got beef
prices up, you've got exports pumping, and people feel good.
Same thing in the regions with tourism. You can see
the tourists, you can hear the accents, you can hear
the tills ringing, and everything's honky dory. We need to
(03:54):
keep that hope and optimism alive because we have spent
and you read this report far too long, scraping the
bottom of the economic barrel in this country. We have
been we haven't been, I should say, above one hundred
in this survey which basically means feeling net positive since
twenty twenty one, you go back further. We were above
(04:21):
one hundred for basically the twenty years pre COVID, except
that tiny bit during the GFC. We've been down in
the dumps for five years, five long, hard years. And
we were three points in the last survey, just three
tiny points from hitting one hundred once more, rising from
(04:43):
the ashes, dusting ourselves off, shaking it off, and soldiering on.
And now we're back eight points, a slight setback. But
we'll push through, won't we. Once the markets adjust to
the pace of Trump's tariffs, once commerce finds a way
around cost, we'll be back on our way to the
top of that economic mountain where we're all belong.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Any trouble with mountains is they do have two sides,
don't They go out to the top, and then, if
you keep knowing, eventually end up back down at the
bottom again, don't you. But then there's another mountain that
you can go up again.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Us talk Sydney.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So we've got a new police station's opening, We've got
more cops on the beats.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I think Andrew's happy about all this cops.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I got to stay on the beat at the Uckland CBD.
The government will boost anti crime measures across Central Auckland
with one point three million dollars worth of funding as
a result of the Proceeds of Crime Fund. Now that
Proceeds of Crime Fund CAVIN in two thousand and nine.
It lets the New Zealand Police seize money in assets
that have been obtained directly or indirectly from crims and
(05:49):
once all the legal matters are addressed, the recover money
is placed in the Proceeds of Crime Fund to be spent.
And the whole thing was announced by the Auckland Minister
Sibbey and Brown, Minister for Everything and Associate Justice Minister
Nicole McKee, and it's been greeted wholeheartedly by retailers and residents.
It'll see the new Federal Street station open twenty four
to seven. By the way, that station will open in
(06:10):
the middle of the year. And of course all of
this is a good thing. My question has always been
why did we stop doing this in the first place.
The cop on the beat is assigned to one and
all citizens and criminals that the police are in control
of the streets, not the rat bags. For me, it's
the first thing the police should fund, not the last.
(06:31):
And that perception that it's not important is just reinforced
to me by the new funding coming from the Proceeds
of Crime fund and not the general budget. And another
question I have who thought that no cops on the
beat was a good idea in the first place. It's
tempting to blame Cuddle's Costa in the last government who
was soft on crime. But it's been going on far
longer than that. It's another example of public service being
(06:54):
told to cut budgets and then going and cutting the
good stuff instead of the bad. And one more thing
about the funding. This is not just a problem for Auckland.
It's nationwide. It's in all our cities and towns and
Burban shopping centers. What about them? Well, we're going to
wait to see if the budget which is forthcoming will
show a changed emphasis.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
My question around this is why is it called being
on the beat.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I've done a quick search and I've asked AI.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And while they all agree that community policing is called
being on the beat, I've not been able to.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Find the origins of it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And I'm just hoping it's something to do with beating
people up that's all.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So Butcher and Sonny back from space.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I'm not everybody seems to call her sonny in America,
but here lots of people call her Sonny.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
How good is that splashdown off Florida's coast, Oh.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Mate, I've been obsessed by it all morning watching the
live stream.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Nominal amazing. Butch Wilmore, I mean, what a fantastic name
for an astronad. If you're going to name an astronaut,
you'd name them either Buzz light Year or Butch Wilmore.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
You trust a man called Butch.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
And Sunny Williams so nine months up on that mission,
so they're only supposed to be up there for a
few days. But Boeing crap the bed, and so SpaceX
has gone up in the dragon and brought them back down.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Lucky.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I've read a couple of.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Books by astronauts, one by Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut.
He talks about when you land on Earth again after
you've been on the space station for a period of time,
And he wasn't up there for nine months, but how
long was he up there? A long time? Anyway, he said,
you just leagus a jelly your heart doesn't work just
because you've been in low gravity, so you haven't had
that resistance all the time. No matter how many exercises
you do, you still become jelly. So apparently it's quite
(08:54):
a You get back on to Earth and you're happy
to be there, but there's a huge feeling of depression
that comes on you because you're weak and you're not
going to go back up to space again, and being
space is an incredible thing.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I saw them dragging them of that capsule and they
had to drag them out. They literal rag dolls. I
mean they were in good form and giving the thumbs up.
Yeah we made it, but there was nothing left to
them really.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
I mean the capsule looked like a cyborg from Doctor
Hoop that they were climbing up.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
The mouth off.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
But yeah, they're gonna have a bit of a recovery.
But they'll just be glad that they're down, because they
must have been questioning whether they would ever go down.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
You're up there.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
You don't know what's happening on Earth. There's politics this
things are changing, ye. Biden didn't want Elon must have
be involved in bringing them down before the election because
it would look bad for his campaign, so they had
to wait a bit longer. But now they're down and
Bitch Wilmore and Sernie Williams welcome to earth.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeap.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
And how amazing was that live stream? I mean just
the camera angles, the footage inside the capsule, the drones
following it into the sea as it landed just outside
of Florida, and it was incredible. I was just glued
to that live stream all morning.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Yeah, I'm seeing a capsule landing with some parachutes. It's
very very cool.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm sorry to get bogged out on this, but it
makes a difference if you call who sonny or sonny,
because you can have Butch and Sundance or something like
that as a headline and dolphins. Obviously, I hope they
didn't land on any dolphins.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
William who were.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That was the case. But I guess you can let
people off forgetting the sunny sunny thing wrong?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But what about the boch part.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Bitch Wilmore and Serny Williams welcome to it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, I thought I heard that.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
We're going to finish up?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah with that news I promised you at the big
beginning of the podcast What's Happening with Saw?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Eleven?
Speaker 9 (10:42):
By the way, the last of the Saw films is
a w It was gonna be the eleventh, but they've
pulled the pin on that.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Production was kentled this week.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
I think if you've seen one of the Saw movies,
you've seen too many of them. They were horrific. Why
you'd want to see eleven? I've got no idea, no
idea in the world.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's interesting. I really enjoyed the first few movies. I
didn't realize they'd made ten of them, though I haven't
definitely haven't seen all ten. I'm not quite sure how
many I have seen, probably at least four or maybe five.
I'm gonna have to go and look those up there.
I really like them. I mean, yes, they're terrible, and
(11:27):
by that I mean visually terrifying.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
But yeah, I thought they were good.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But that's one of those things with movies and movie
reviews you need to listen to, you know, Like I
don't know what Marcus's opinions are of a lot of
other movies, and so I don't think still have a baseline,
like if I disagree with everything that he likes and
disagree with everything that he hates. Then that's all valuable
(11:58):
information because if he likes something, then I probably won't
like it, and if he doesn't like something, I probably will.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You see how that works anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I hope you like this despite what people say, and
if you do, I'll see you back here again to morrow.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Actually if you didn't come.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Back to memorrow, because it might be completely different tomorrow.
It's really quite variable day.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
