You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said Bee,
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
Used Talk sed Be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First of yesterday's news. I am blen Hart, and we
are looking back at Tuesday. Small business sales are going gangbusters.
Greta Thunburg has weedled her way into headlines again. How's
(00:44):
the Torco roundabout going? Marcus looks at that from quite
some distance away, and Matt Heath has found a music
identification service that's even more effective than Shazam. But before
any of that, are we a bit more corrupt than
we used to be?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Are we?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It seems like organized crime is more organized than ever.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Here you had the Ports Balkland supervisor who is helping
them mongolf shift a container with drugs in it. They
found one hundred thousand dollars in a shoe box at
her house, so you've plenty of examples. But also it
does feel slightly inevitable, doesn't it. I mean, I think
this was obviously going to happen the minute we started
letting Australia deport sophisticated gang members to New Zealand because
these guys treat their drug operations like a proper business.
(01:28):
I mean, this is not like the mungrel mob anymore.
Mungrel mob just making some spare cash from some tennes
to top up their benny. You know, that was annoying
and that was bad, but it's not on the same
level as what we're dealing with now. These guys we've
got now like the common gero's, they're actually running proper
business operations designed to make them rich. But also I
think this is just inevitable when your country gets bigger, right,
(01:49):
this is what happens when the country grows, because statistically
you are going to get more corrupt people. And also
corrupt people know that they can be corrupt because they
kind of get lost in the numbers. But also I
think it is what happens when you don't pay your
police and your customs and your emigration guys and your
baggage handlers and blah blah blah. It's when you don't
pay them enough, they find way to top it up. Now,
(02:09):
what we're being told is we need to do something
about this urgently in order to get on top of it.
I don't know that we can get on top of it.
I don't know that we can ever really go back
to not being corrupt if we ever really were. In
order to do that, in order to go back to
that happy day, we'd have to get rid of these
gangs that are now in New Zealand. And I think
we all know we're here to stay. But I do
think if we can control one thing, it is that
we pay our people enough so at least they're not
(02:32):
trying to top up their income as well.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, there have been various times where I thought I'm
not being paid enough to do this, but I've never thought,
you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to
find a mongol and get a little bit of a
kickback on the side. Stupid neighboring gang, isn't it. I
(03:00):
presume it's nothing to do with Mongoliah, not entirely sure.
Like I say, it's not really my world talk zet
been Now. A lot of people, if they decide they're
not being paid up in their job, they pack it
in and they buy.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
A small business.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And that seems to be happening a lot at the moment.
Small business sales through the roof apparently, look about your
green shoots.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Can you actually become a business owner later in life
without any kind of experience of the people around you
running your own business. It is not for the fainthearted.
I totally understand that for people who don't enjoy their
(03:47):
jobs turning up, sitting down at the hot desk and
finding filth as the first thing you do to start
your day, having some overpaid telling you what to do
and when to do it would be really grinding, endless,
(04:07):
pointless meeting would sap your soul, and I totally understand
the desire to pick up your jacket, walk out and
start doing it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I don't I feel a bit the same about running
a business as I do about people who build their
own homes. Everybody I know who's ever done it, it
just seems like it's a what more trouble than it's worse.
I'm just one of those people who just wants to
be told what to do and then I'll do it.
(04:39):
Hu's talk SI right now. Somehow a lot of people
in the world at the moment that I feel like
we shouldn't be paying any attention to, and if we
just managed to do that, we'd cut off their oxygen
supply and they go away. There's a guy running the
United States of America. He definitely falls into that category.
And then there's old Greta.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
There's been photos and videos Greta's doing the Titanic at
the bow, Kate Winslet at the front of the boat
on her merciful mission to say the Middle East on
board this vessel that's complete with aircon and TVs and Instagram.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put
pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the
others as.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Soon as possible. Reader, you should have gone home a
long time ago. As for being kidnapped, this must be
the first time the victim has broadcast their own hostage video.
How does that work? It's a tiny yacht. How much
aid can you actually have on board? Anything meaningful? There
is no doubt Palestinians desperately need aid because of Israel's
inhumane blockade. Unfortunately, they're not going to get any from
(05:44):
this attention obsessed Swede. This is the problem I think
people have with protesters, not the ones who protest and
then do something useful like become a scientist and an
inventors solution to global warming. That would be helpful protesters
who protest for the sake of it and change causes
with the wind. One day it's climate change and oils
the devil. The house is burning down. The next it's
(06:06):
powering through the meat on a diesel laden yod to
rescue Gaza. It's like a drug to them. I think
John Minto's a case in points, serial protester. You name
a cause, he'll get behind it. In Europe they're defacing
ancient artifacts, throwing soup on paintings confetti on the court
at Wimbledon. While they're doing all these ridiculous stunts, hoovering
(06:27):
up social media followers along the way, they claim, as
Greta did yesterday, that it's not about them. No, no,
it's about the Palestinian people, not me, says Greta. The
lady doth protest too much?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Are you going to have a hobby? I suppose I do.
Sometimes wonder if she couldn't just go out and get
a real job. Well, who's funding all this? She just
clocked up a lot of annually and she's doing it
on her spare time. I doubt it.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
If you've tried to drive to Taronga in the last
years from I don't know, Hamilton come across the chimis
sort of the last suburb you get to before you
get to the main bit of Taro. As you're coming
out of the Fimises Tarico and you will have been
(07:26):
stuck in a qua traffic there probably and they're trying
to do something about it. And Marcus has noticed even
from Embercagole.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I just can't quite work out how councils and traffic
management could have no idea how cities are going to grow,
because really they do govern the pace they grow and
not have the roading in place to help them. Gosh,
a number of discussions they have with people about Queenstown
because Queenstown's unworkable and they're spending millions and millions and
(07:58):
one hundreds of millions of dollars to try and work it,
and anything they do it just doesn't fix it because
the planning's so bad. And I think Queenstown and tot
Long and they're going to become two other places that
people could well just walk away from because they've become unworkable.
Remember on this show discussing whether peopleould rather live in
(08:19):
tot Loong or Hamilton, and I thought it'd be a
slam dunk for to longer, but people unanimously in favor
of Hamilton because it's just impossible to get around tot
long yet you know, you can't go anywhere any time,
and they're still developing, it still growing, and they're trying
to fix everything retrospectively. And I had to say it,
(08:40):
but the Meal lives in Clevedon. That doesn't no, not
in Cleveton and Cambridge. That doesn't give you much hope.
He won't even move there. I think he says he's
going to, but still what a biggest muddle.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I think he'll probably move there once the roundabouts finished
and then he'll be able to actually get there. That's
probably the problem because I mean it'll be extra, wouldn't
it for the moving track to sit in that cure traffic?
So you wait till it's all finished and then you go.
We do, I agree with Marcus. We do seem to
react rather than be proactive. With Rhodes was a bit frustrating.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
News Talk z Bean.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Another frustrating thing is when you've got you can't think
of that song. You can vaguely hear it in your head,
but then in order to get the hearing it in
your head and to transform that into an actual whatever
that song is, it can be tricky. So what you
need to do is you need to be a host
(09:43):
on news talks you'd be and then you can ask
the entire country.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Apparently I tried to sing this baseline I was talking
about into Shazam, the app that can tell you what
song is playing, and had no idea what was going on.
But I sung it into the mic and newsport Talk
z B listeners came back. What I sung into the
mic was dn't d d d d d d d
d dirded And I said, what's that song?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's impossible, So Sarah told you to get lost.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I don't know what you're talking about, matt Ai, I said,
I don't know what the hell you're you're singing there,
but nine two nine two lee.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
And this is all on the back of funk Master
sliced Loane passing away. Yes, and I see, I see
as I see, I see, as I say as I say,
as I says, I'm pretty sure that's not a slow
in the family Stone song. But someone came through on
nine two nine two and it is this fantastic. It's
one of the greatest baselines of all time. It's not
a complicated funk baseline, and it's not a lot like
other funk baselines, but the way that sits in the pocket,
(10:36):
it's just so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Sixy?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah, such a beautiful baseline.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Oh yeah, that is very funky.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, it's the song if you want me to stay
by sling the Family Stone.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
There's quite a few you can sing into Google as
well these days and it'll look at But I think
where Matt went wrong there is that he the thing
he was singing what didn't sound anything like the actual
baseline of the slide the Family such Stone song. I
(11:28):
think that was where we're wrong. I mean, the Internet
can only do so much, and like he says, somehow
the news doors of the audience managed to recognize his attempt,
which is a very poor attempt, and then convert that.
(11:49):
So yeah, I mean, he's probably does have a point.
Until the Internet can do that, there's going to be
no Rabbi to Pocket apocalypse this year? Is that I
am bleon hat I'll host you through that apocalyts is
going to happen, don't you worry. I've been sidling up
next to robots for a long time, so I think
I'll be okay for a little while, one of the
last ones to give the wall rather than the first.
(12:12):
But yeah, in the meantime, I'll see you back here
again tomorrow for another News Talks it'd be News.
