Speaker 1 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
This is yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Tuesday. The fallout from the Bondai
shooting continues. Obviously, we've got a doggie do. Let's kind
of think of another word that started with the dilemma,
(00:46):
Doggie do, dilemma for Matt Heath. Sure in the end,
and Marcus is into the Christmas treats. But before any
of that High Food Day yesterday, I feel like this
is a recent thing, the Hi Foo this half yearly,
whatever the rest of it stands for. Is it new
(01:10):
or is it just knew that we've started calling it
the High Food were almost as obsessed with the Highpood
as we are with the GDP these days, not to
be to the ocer.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Basically, Grant Robertson went out there with our credit card
and bought a brand new Lambeau and then bug it off.
We got Nikola in. She's promising, she has promised to
get us some more work to pay for the debt,
so we won't go broke. That extra work hasn't quite
happened yet, so here we are. The good news is
(01:39):
that it is coming. They tell us more than three
percent next year in theory, all going to plan, and
Willis is promising to get the surplus back by twenty
twenty nine, even if the books don't quite show that yet.
I think this is enough to get them reelected. Yes
it's bad, and I'll get some bad headlines today, but
enough to get them re elected, providing no surprises from
Winston because people know what the alternative is, and that's
(02:03):
more debt on ghost visits to the doctor for billionaires
who don't need it. With GPS we don't have. Yes,
they could please hooton sl and slash spending. I'd be
here for a bit of that, but this is MMP.
They are unashamedly a centrist party that needs to win
the center, and winning the center means not spooking the horses,
(02:25):
which is what massive cuts would achieve. So another fiscal
result we were mostly expecting, telling us what we mostly
knew was coming, Like the last two polls of the year,
though the pre Christmas treat for luxeen and co is
the growth is coming on stream finally in theory in
an election year.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, even I, even I who I'm completely out of
touch with everything everywhere all the time. Even I have
heard some first hand stories of business looking up. In
the week before Christmas, I think some people are feeling
(03:07):
like that, they're almost sorry that they're going to have
to go on a break because the money is saying.
The flow us talk ze been anecdotal. That stuff was
at an anecdotal, but you know, you get enough anecdotes
eventually it makes an entire story, doesn't it, And then
(03:29):
it's up to you to deciderer it's going in the
fiction or nonfiction section. Unfortunately, in the non fiction section
this week we're dealing with the Bondey attacks.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Still now, are you beginning to think these days that
Winston Peters knew what he was talking about when he
refused to back a state of Palestine earlier in the year.
I was one of the few who did agree.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
There is no state.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
There was no governing authority or governance legitimacy. But underneath
it all there was no indication that the Palestinians wanted peace,
and his concern that her mass was still armed and
recognition could push her mass and their supporters to a
more hardened position. That's what Winston said. So in the
wake of the killings, there was a Jewish bloke that
I saw on the phone in front of the dead
(04:10):
and the dying, and he let rip. He talked about
October the seventh, He talked about the Hamas atrocity, and
then he railed about Alberanesi and all the other states
and statesmen who then sent money to Guardza and made
virtue signaling noises about state recognition and lo beerhold, what
do we see an angry, empowered people, big grudge, still
adopting a hardened position. Benjamin Nettaya, who wrote to Alberanzi
(04:32):
back in August, he warned that Australia's moves to recognize
the Palestinian state poured fuel on the anti Semitic fire
and embolden those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the
jew hatred which now stalks you a street. Now was
Nettuna who wrong? Apparently we have a peace process. Obviously
it's not working. Apparently the endgame for the end of
(04:56):
violence between these two faiths is a two state solution.
But can we really see these two people co existing
anytime soon?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Aes history, and when I a history, I mean a
lot of history would okay. Otherwise, unfortunately you talk sip,
but you know, hope Springs does scary, wouldn't have hope.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And the same with COVID. There probably wasn't as much
violence physical violence, but certainly the violent rhetoric online was
painful and awful, and it was probably more I don't know.
Those who who did not get vaccinated feel they were
(05:42):
very much othered by the whole of society, that they
were outcasts and punished and fairly and unnecessarily. But that
was more an anti authority in my mind. Anyway, when
it comes to COVID, you didn't agree with all the
decisions being made, or you did, and anybody who dissented
(06:04):
was a traitor and wanted to kill old people. So
we're at a really tricky time. But we have been
at tricky times before.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We have.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Thought how on earth are we going to get over
this before many times in our history. And I guess
I'm looking at stories from a micro level. If there
were real differences within your family, how did you get
past them? How did you get past the pain and
the hurt and come together as a community again.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
COVID has a lot to answer for. What isn't it?
It's amazing how you know all these years down the track.
I mean, I say all these years a couple of years. Really,
isn't it? If we were really in it? It seems
like a long time ago. Now every I reckon every day,
(07:01):
at least once on the mic Husking Breakfast, somebody blames
COVID for something that's going on, and it can be anything.
It can be, you know, to do with wages, with inflation,
with problems with the health system, with staff shortages, with tourism.
It all just sort of ah, well, you know COVID.
(07:23):
What's the statute of limitations on that?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
When?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
When do are we not allowed to say? Ah, it's
COVID's fold again. Okay, we're going to change tack a
little bit now for the sort of the second two
fifths of the podcast, Matt wants to talk about how
when you're a parent, you say do as I say,
not as I do, or not as I do do
(07:49):
In this in his case.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
As a parent, sometimes hypocrisy blows up in your face. Okay,
good stuff, and you have to look at yourself in
the mirror and go, I am scum. And this happened
to me. I was down at the at the mother
in law's for a Christmas party, and beautiful and look,
I'm always saying kids, when I see them running out
to get something on the driveway or going outside in
(08:12):
their socks, I'm always saying.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Put some shoes on.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yep, no socks outside that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, pay good money for those socks.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Anyway, I was putting up a marquee in the backyard
for the party, big party, putting up a marquee ye
and people could dine outside. There was a lot of
people at this party.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Nice yep.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And I went out my socks to do it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You dirty bugger, You dirty bugger.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And I stood in a dog's leaving and my white
sox while I was putting up the.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Marquee.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
And look, let's be honest, it was my dog Colin,
who had taken down there as well, who had made
the dogs leaving. And I'll tell you what it is
challenging trying to deal when you're staying at someone else's
house to deal with a sock, a white sock that's
mushed in a dog leaving, because what do you do?
You just sort of take it off, But then you
(09:08):
know it's quite a lot to sort of rinse it
anywhere or put it through a washing machine. You're basically
dealing with toxic waste.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, I think you just check it in the outside bin,
don't you. You just make your way quietly round to
the outside bend and pretend that you were on bare
feet the whole time. I've never understood people who go
outside in their socks and not be a feet I mean,
apart for anything else. You've seen that with a hole
in your sock pretty quickly. Pussy people do it all
(09:38):
the time. Minute it annoys me.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
News talk z Bean.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So yes, Christmas time. So Matt mentioned the Christmas function
he was out there. Marcus went to one at the
council because I think he's a counselor, and it got
him thinking about various Christmas treats.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
The supermarket Christmas carols were playing. Everyone's buying those damn chocolates.
The right one of those chocolates are the balls, and
everyone's buying those, aren't they everywhere? When do they kind
of take over? I think there's two types of chocolates
that are wrapped as balls. Anyway that it used to
be around. Now they're everywhere. It's a good thing or
a bad thing. I think the scorched almonds are on
(10:25):
the back burn, and now people got sick of those.
I think one of them is called lint. You get
cheesecake flavored ones. Every time I see Linda, I think
it's something that's left in the dryer. So I struggle
with that.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Isn't that lint?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
I think that's lint that's in your dryer or your
belly button. But anyway, that's a chocolate everyone seems to want.
But the people in the aisle seem happy with what
they've got their trolley, and I guess that's to think
some of them might be cashing in their Christmas club
cards or whatever they're doing. But anyway, but if you've
got something you can't seem to find for Christmas, or
(10:59):
if there's some recipe you're looking for for Christmas that
you can't that you're struggling to find a good one for,
I will do and help you with that. I am
doing a Christmas baking. I am doing a dish that
is named after a mountain in Europe almost been the
(11:20):
quiz that one, couldn't it? Dan, We've had a quiz
question for a while. But that's what I am doing,
be questioned number fifty three. So yeah, and I think
it's going to be fairly easy to make. It's a
cherry carputka named after the Carpathian Mountains. I think because
(11:40):
the shoe pastry rises up and looks like a mountain range.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm sure it was going to be called mont Blanc.
That is it something vanilla? Yes, but I was wrong
about that. The Perira rashiers as well. You can learned
to those I've given up. I mean I've given up
(12:05):
generally across the board, but I've given up on sweets
of all kinds. I never really like the perirashes anyway.
Just the little bits of NAT's scorch diamonds, Yes, lovely
(12:27):
little bits of nothing things. Why don't you do it?
Go with like hokey pokey or bits of biscuit instead.
I don't think we need little bits of nothing things,
do we? Yet? It one big Nat inside, but not
a little bits of that. Love a lint, though, that's
for sure. I love a scortch Darmon, No, I used
(12:50):
to I don't that's what happens when you get older.
You're forced to give up all the It's as so
long as you don't have any of the things that
you want, you probably lived to a right old age.
I am a glad hat doing the best I reckon.
I'll make it through till at least tomorrow. I'll see
you there.
