Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said b
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Used Talk said, be you talk, I'll.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Tell I'm not a beautiful beanieven, welcome for the bean.
Paul Wednesday, first of yesterday's news named Glenn Hart, and
we are looking back at Tuesday. It looks like we've
remembered how to read it and write. After all, literacy
is on the improved. House price is not on the
improve on whatever the opposite of improvers. I wanted to say,
(00:45):
disapproved that that's a different thing entirely. It will come
to me you should we be able to advertise on Christmas.
Marcus not a fan. Meanwhile, Matt has aced moving apparently,
but before any of that, Trump has aced peace in
the Middle East, or has he?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I mean, let's be honest about it.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
In the last time, in the last two years, there
were times where surely to believe that we'd seen the
last of the survivors make it out. Surely we'd assumed most,
if not all, the remaining twenty would die in captivity
in the years that we may have thought stretched ahead
of us. But look at what's happened, Aid is now
flowing back into Gaza. People are going back to their homes,
whatever is left of it. The sholling has stopped. So
(01:27):
you would think this would be a moment to celebrate,
don't you The very thing that so many of us
have been calling for for such a long time, and
increasingly in the last few months. The thing has happened.
For fighting has stopped, the starvation has stopped. But where
is the celebration. I mean, don't you think is remarkably
muted today? Now I realize a lot of that will
be that there is some weariness, quite rightly, over whether
(01:47):
this piece can hold because so many ceasefires have broken
down in the past, and there are so many ways
that this ceasefire can break down. Could be a rocket fire,
an error, could be Hamas still refusing to discimn could
be anything. But I do wonder if part of it
is also because it's hard for some people to give
credit to Donald Trump for the role that he planned
in this. I mean, already there are opinion pieces that
are writing him out of this historic moment, talking up
(02:09):
the diplomatic efforts of others, particularly in the Middle East,
warning he will never get a Nobel Peace Prize for this,
regardless of whether this piece holds. But you can't ignore
his role in this. You can't write him out of this.
He was instrumental in a way that Biden never was,
and it was for various reasons, mainly because of his
friendship with ben Yaman Nett and Yahoo, which Biden never had,
but also because of his relationship with the Arab countries,
(02:30):
because of previous work in the region in his first administration,
like the Abraham Accords. Now, let's be fair, it's always
hard to give credit to people we dislike. It's also
very hard to give credit to people who are so
capable of dishing out copious amounts of credit to themselves,
like Donald Trump. But Trump does deserve credit, and he
deserves a lot of it for getting the Gars a
conflict to a point that it has never been before,
(02:53):
which is that all the living hostages are out.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It was kind of amusing, just from my point of
view yesterday watching the various news anchors on the various
international news networks having to begrudgingly admit that Trump seems
to be responsible for peace breaking out. They couldn't quite
find the right words, the quite phrase, the right phraseology
(03:18):
to do it. The words seemed very uncomfortable in their mouths.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Used talk has it been.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Maybe it's because they were taught how to read and
write properly at school. Maybe that's why they couldn't pronounce
the words correctly. It looks like we're getting better at
this already. Oh, Auntie Erica, is you know taking that's
the strict discipline with the education system, seriously, and already
(03:48):
it's having an effet.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Ultimately, though, what matters as our kids are back on
track baby steps. But it's a very very good beginning.
For hundreds of years, a decent education was what gave
you options. Didn't matter where you were born and what
circumstances you were born. A good education gave you options.
(04:13):
It emancipated you from material poverty, intellectual poverty, spiritual poverty.
And the quality of New Zealand's education for all children,
not just the children of the elite, was what set
us apart from the rest of the world. We lost
our way for a time, and we lost a whole
(04:33):
cohort of young New Zealanders. But hopefully this is the
beginning of giving New Zealand kids choices and opportunities, giving
them the sort of future that they deserve.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Will any of this lead to mister Menzie's not talking
about Sylvester Sterlone's mother from an article that he read
in the Woman's Weekly, which is what really turned me
off school and resulted in meat boycotting Calculus. Let it go, glean.
(05:09):
It was decades ago. Some things you just can't let go.
They scarred you talk right. So despite the flickers, glimmers
and green shoots and tingers your hangs that we seem
to be experiencing in the e foonomy, at the moment,
(05:30):
our house prices are well, there's idling at best, aren't they.
This is a good or a bad thing, We can't
quite decide.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
First home buyers love it. They're cranking at the moment.
They're a quarter of new mortgages first home buyers first
half of this year a quarter. So we've got to
ask ourselves, is this really what we want? When the
numbers are bad for owners and for homeowners, they're good
for would be owners. We're forever complaining about the press
of property until we need to sell it. So if
(06:01):
this is the new normal, then we better get used
to it. It's interesting to look at what is selling
as well, because we had another developer, this is an
Auckland apartments. Go bust yesterday and have a look at
the apartments, even the nice ones that they were building.
Is that really somewhere you would want to live. Guess
what's not selling. It's the new builds without car parks.
(06:24):
This idea that somebody will want to buy a shoe
box and catch a bus is clearly not working out
in the way that they intended. That are taking the
longest time to sell. Turns out people also like privacy,
who would have thought quite an important factor. The biggest
story here is that prices are lower and deep down.
Even though we say we want to fix the housing crisis,
(06:44):
most people aren't happy about it.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's like I always say, you're you're really only exercise
about us if you are trying to sell a house.
If you're not currently trying to sell a house, just
let it sit for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It'll come right an I reckon must.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Sithing analysis there, then I'm sure you know exactly what
you're talking about. Now. There seems to be some talk
of meeting people advertise on Christmas Day, and when you
look at this subjectively, come on, well, why haven't we
(07:26):
been able to up until this point.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Oh, by the way too, and you might want to
go all outraged on this. There will now be TV
commercials on Christmas Day and other public holidays. Not a fan.
I have liked that day, and I'm not overly churchy.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I just want to like Christmas Day.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
It's the one day you ever got the ads. It
seems a bit special. But they're banging the ads in
there because they want the do a me, what do
you think about that? I'm not that happy about it,
but I.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Can live with it.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
But still, do you ask me in a survey, are
you in favor? I'd say no, there you go. You
got my impression.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm assuming this means radio ads as well. So I'm
also assuming that here in radio land we'll all get
a pay rise because we're earning them all that extra
money for those extra days of advertising income.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The sooner we stopped making special allowances because of some
kind of religious space tradition in an allegedly secular society,
the better, isn't it. Come on, guys, news talk has
been right, So back to selling and buying houses. Has
(08:51):
Matt been moving is he?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Look?
Speaker 8 (08:54):
I'm celebrating myself today Tyler, Okay, what's that Because for
the longest time, I've been keeping every single one of
my food bag boxes preparing for the shift that's happening
right now at my house because we're moving houses right right.
And I just felt so good when I had all
those boxes.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I've got like thirty of.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Them lined up just to be put back together and
filled with stuff. You know, when you think about something
in advance and you go, look, i'm gonna I'm gonna
think about this, I'm going to keep these boxes, and
then it comes to fruition.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, that is a good moment in any man's life
or woman for that matter.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Your past self has done a favor to your current self.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
I was just skipping around my house so happy with
my boxes today as I was packing up this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Did you have to face any challenges while you were
doing this cardboard hoarding? Did you get You've got criticism
from quarters?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
I got so much criticism from my lovely partner Tracy.
She was like, just put them in the recycling there's
no room for them here. They're getting in the ways
of the bike and the bikes and the garage. They're
taking over our life. They're ruining absolutely everything. And I
see it. No, you push through, you have little faith.
You wait till moving day and we'll have all our
boxes there. And she said, well, we can just go
and buy the boxes at the time, did you Whisper
(10:08):
would just say, I haven't yet, but when you and
you're right. When she gets home tonight and see that
I've packed up nearly the whole house into my food
bag boxes, then she'll be uh, you'll know I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Right, well done, mate, That is a great feeling. And
go well with the move. Hey, if you need a hand,
by the way I'm around, maybe maybe.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Didn't when you move your own house, didn't you drive
the truck into the side of the house.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, yeah, good point around you.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
I could put you on sort of some kind of
low responsibility job.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
My moving days are that no more. I'm not done
it anymore. Is that an.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Expensive way to get a box? And usually I climb
into the bend behind the warehouse and try and find
some decent boxes. The food bag boxes are very good,
of course, but he's obviously a regular consumer of my
(10:59):
food bag gay. Oh man, that's what we've learned there.
There's nothing like having just the right box, so I
was there. I get into trouble for keeping too many boxes,
but sometimes you just need a box for something and
then I can weap into my man cave. We grab
that box, and when I do that, all the other
(11:19):
boxes swng down on top of me because I'll get
too many. Miss a man a good night and work
it out at meek, you go ahead and sort that out.
That's the excitement. I do that every day and again
the bit of a clean app and then well you know,
it's filling all these boxes again. It's like they're reproducing
it there. I am a glen Hat box order and
(11:41):
podcaster and I'll be doing that again tomorrow. Not the
box hoarding the podcast. Actually I probably will be doing
the box hoarding as well. See then not in the
man Cave on the podcast.
