Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings and welcome people. My name is Marcus Hittl Midnight Tonight.
Welcome to Monday, first Monday of March. Hittl Midnight Tonight.
And yeah, good to be here. And I hope I
can be of use and service due in the next
three hours fifty three minutes. And look, it's negotiable what
we talk about tonight. Obviously, after there are military events happening.

(00:38):
Your water curl, your water coiler, kernel's like to come
through and have the essay and feel free if you've
got comments you want to make on that. And I'm
already saying that on Facebook and social media there's already
sort of some fairy dramatic posturings and comments, and that's fine.

(01:04):
That's the way it is. I guess, look what I
will do tonight. If there is more news that I
need to bring to you, I will do that. That's
probably the most important thing tonight is to keep you
updated with what is going on. I'm not exactly sure
of the time frames and night and day, but anyway,

(01:25):
if there is news, it appears as though there is
a lot happening with explosions, do buy WDW, DOHA places
like that. I will keep you updated with that. So yes, yes,
someone predicted that in their predictions, and of course we
all knew this was about to happen. It's been talked

(01:45):
about for a number of days now or a number
of weeks, and today will over the weekend was when
it happens. So look, if you've got comments to make
on that, feel free to come through. Oh, eight hundred
and nine to nine two detection. There's plenty of other
stuff to talk about also too, So yeah, bearing in
mind we're probably serving two or three masters tonight, so

(02:07):
we'll just see how it goes. But yeah, the number
one priority is probably the breaking news for you with
the next almost four hours. So if there's news that happens,
I will bring that to you. Gosh, now they say
the all Black coach is going to be announced this week.
All so a lot happening world War three and the
new all Black coach, So it's going to be every
very busy week for news, I would imagine. Yeah, I

(02:28):
can tell you that, of course war was very easy
to get into, very hard to get out of. Trump
saying it all be over in four weeks or something
to those to that effect, I would not be surprised
it doesn't go for a lot longer. But as we
always know, we can wait and see and time will tell.
So yeah, if you want to say, if you want
to say anything about this, feel free to get involved.

(02:49):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine two to text. So yeah, if you want to
join the discussion. By the way too, just as far
as history goes, I know that it's always important to
mention things and mention a bit of history with shows
like this, it is my understanding. Today is actually the

(03:10):
anniversary of the Edgecomb of the Edgecombe earthquake, so it
was quite a big news story at the time. Was
a six point five, but there was dramatic pictures of it,
so you might have some memories of that also too.
I just don't know. Look, we've never mentioned they'll talked
about that before. It just came up on my fees.
I thought that's probably something that we need to talk about.

(03:32):
So that were obviously next year were the fortyth anniversary.
But in nineteen eighty seven it was very shallow and
a redisruptive kind of a one, so you might have
some area. What it did do, was it really it
really rooted the railway tracks. I know that because I
got a guy, a guy I knew was a collector
of railway memorabilia, and in his possession he had which

(03:53):
I thought was neat He had a piece of the
bent rail from the Edgecomb quake. So she's a big deal.
So some of you remember that was pretty widely felt
around the Bay of plenty years and that was this
day in nineteen eight. He's seven out of months before
the Sheer market crash. But anyway, so it's ten past eight,
and I'll be guided by you tonight with what you

(04:14):
want to talk about. The number, as I say, is
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
to detext By the way, the prediction of Tarz who
predicted war in the Middle East. He's quite good with
the predictions. He also predicted Gold to go to ten thousand,
He predicted Warriors to the finals. He predicted Winston takes
deputy promise. I don't quite know what that predictions about

(04:34):
because he's already there well, or he's already had his
go maybe feeling that he's going to have another go
that Seymour goes and that the harbor bridge breaks for
that's his predictions. What is interesting to about gold. I
was speaking to my mate, the gold miner, yesterday, and
I presume gold rose a lot today. I haven't looked

(04:56):
at the graph, but what is interesting with the because
I went to look at the market straight after the
announcement or the bombing, because that's kind of where it
all come, kind of where you can see the economic impact.
But the gold appears to have soared. But what is
interesting also is that, I mean gold's up two or

(05:17):
three percent. But what is interesting and I think is
probably of great interests concern for those people into crypto,
is that what happens these days, something like the strikes
on Iran and gold goes up, but crypto goes down. Yeah,
which makes you wonder what the function of crypto was

(05:38):
when it's not really a hedge against troubled times. It
seems to be the opposite. So yeah, there would be
probably concern for those people with crypto. But anyway, Trump's
now saying the war with Iran could last four to
five weeks. I think we heard that with Iraq, and
I think it took about about twenty years before they
got out of there, or ten years twenty years with Afghanistan.
But do come through if you want to talk thirteen
past eight. There is other stuff I could talk about

(06:00):
tonight also too, with the start of the NRL in Vegas.
That was great watch both those matches that seem to
go ready really well with Golden Point. And the other
thing that I wouldn't mind mentioning to is, since I
chucked the kitchen sink at you, since it's a Monday
school camps, I have a boy at school camp. Yeah,

(06:23):
he's gone to Deep Cove, which seems to be the
Southland ritual. I don't quite know whether I presume they
stay at the old barracks for the manipuris the Manipurli
power scheme, but that he's gone there. He went they yesterday,
so he gets the bus and the boat and the bus.
So he's there for three or four days. So some

(06:45):
of you might have your excited stories about your school
camp the places you still seems to be a big
thing that probably schools had got kind of jack of
it because it was too much organization. But still down
South it seems to be a very very very big deal,
although I think it's probably a hassle for fan has
happened to be in the outdoor shop on Saturday and
it was full of sort of all sorts of flustered
parents buying sleeping bear and packs and all sorts of stuff.

(07:08):
You think the schools would have those, wouldn't she? Anyway,
So school camp's also there is a backtop. We've going
to come through. The number is eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. To text is nine to nine two. You
want to start the whole ball rolling, feel free. The
numbers person's come through, Ben Marcus forty seven years since
the Iran was taken over and Trump is the forty
seventh president. Oh yeah, anyway, so that's come through. You

(07:34):
want to text Marcus at or nine two nine to detect.
If you want to email Marcus at newstalk z'b dot
co dot NZ. Anyway, do come through if you want
to talk. As I say, anything goes tonight, but you
might have your comments. There might be something that you
feel that you need to say about the situation with Iran.
There's been much discussion about Luckson's comments and the press

(07:57):
conference or the postcare press conference he had and his
continuing a billity not the word ability is a bit strong,
his continuing habit of kind of sounding vague with details,

(08:19):
And I don't know whether that is deliberate or that
is the exact opposite, but certainly comes across as frustrating
to many because you come away thinking, jeepest, creepers, what's
really going on? Who's in charge? Where are his comms
team to come up with the speaking lines for him?

(08:40):
But there you go. You might want to comment on
that as well. But oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine to de text head or
midnight tonight? Do you want to come through anything else
you want to comment on? Feel free text or email?
First Monday of March. Well, I keep on about about
March madness. I think traffic gets worse today, not really
across that, but I think all the schools, universities are worse,

(09:01):
are back together, so it gets a lot worse traffic wise.
So although I think that's probably something people worry, worry about,
and probably simpler times, I've got other things to worry about. Today.
You're David's Marcus. Good evening and welcome, Hi Dave.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, good evening to you, Marcus. I've had my electric
blanket on my eider down, my top douna on my
bed ear eighting out. I've got it out of a
vacuum pack. It's been so cold here and crost creepers.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
That would be early for you to unleash the vacuum peck,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it is early as well, so as I'm concerned.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
It is.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
But it's cold enough too.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
And then we've got to get into an whole discussion
about the sleeping bags. So with the electric blankets to
sleep with them on, I've always been a fan of that,
but people say it's incredibly dangerous.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
And it's incredibly dangerous, and I wouldn't advise it at all.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Markets, particularly with the fireman on strike.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Now, would you like a question? I know you like them.
I've got one of two sure refers to covering meat
and bacon before roasting.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
It.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Is it barting, farting or carding.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I've got no idea.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
No, it's barting.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
I've never heard used.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Neither of I but I learned it today. If Earth
was the size of a grape, then Jupiter would be
the size of a basketball.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
True or false?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
True?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But there's not a question, that's a statement.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well there you go. I couldn't push you all night, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
I do again.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I try to think the size of a grape Jupiter
is the size of a basketball is I'll tell you
one thing. I've always struggled with planets. I've never nailed planets.
They always come and I'd never get them right. I
got no idea what's going on with them?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Marcus. Fascinating. I saw Professor Brian Cox and he was
explaining the distances in our solar system in the milky
way between the planets, and it was quite fascinating with
the Sun at the center and the size corresponding size,
and it just blew, almost blew my mind thinking and
getting my head around the distances involved between us and

(11:13):
them and the outer ring planets, et cetera. That get
the solids and the gas giants. And you know, he
simplified it by using things that corresponded with size, and
I thought it was absolutely fascinating.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
When you said when you said you were getting out
your electric blanket.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Right my planket from the bed, you're eyed it.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Down or whatever. I had a flashback, remember those blankets
with magnets and them did you ever have come to
one of those that were the that were the that
were the the They were the absolute standard of talk
bag advertising for a number of years.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah, the waterbed, No, the one like the under.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
The under the underlay with magnets in it.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
That's right, But I never never fell for it.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I've never woke it up and I thought, gee, that
was a bad night sleep. I feel I need more
magnet underneath me.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
No, and I don't think the copper ran my wrist
that was homemade from copper wire. I don't think that
helped either, But then again, maybe I'm not of that
age or elp too for it to have impact.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Nice to talk, Dave, Thanks so very much for that, Oh,
eight hundred and eighty year the magna, the magna sleep.
Never try. You don't hear them going on about it anymore.
But gee, there was a while there you thought, boy,
what am I missing out on? Anyway? Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine nine. As I've promised to
I will keep you updated with the news around the world,
particularly from with a situation well obviously with the situation

(12:40):
around so the fog of wool and the war and
all of that, although I do feel bad sort of
looking at the angle of currencies when you know it's
always hard to work out it's always hard to work
out what news angles for talk you have in situations
like this, because you know we're not off frequenting the

(13:02):
war room. Although I see that one of Trump's advisors,
Susan Wilde in the war room and she hit her
footbit on, which means they could probably hack it through
the through the wireless or the bluetooth. So that was crazy.
And when that flip, it looked like amateur hour. By
the way, they are reporting that a chet that a
jet has crashed over Kuwait? Is there an official official

(13:27):
sate Turan won't negotiate with the US. Well, apparently the
negotiations were going quite well, but then they had intel
where they knew where the chief guys were, so it
was too good an opportunity not to bomb them. Nineteen
past eight, looking FORDU calls and just so saying I
will keep you update with what's happening lines there free
if we want to talk on eternight, there's a variety

(13:48):
of things we can discuss as we get into it.
It does say I am reading too that splex smoke
was seen rising from the United States Embassy in Kuwait
City after the latest volley of Iranian strikes. Sirens earliest
sound over the city. Following the latest volley's Iranian texts
which started across the Old Rich Golf region on Saturday,
The embassy did not announce have been hit, but issued

(14:09):
a security alert urging people to stay away. There's also
reports too of a Kuwaiti jet with the pilot having ejected.
Those details are just coming through about that too, So
we'll keep you updated with what's going on tonight, and
if you want to talk on air about this or
about the other topics, obviously, feel free to come through.
The number is eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine

(14:33):
to nine to text. See his video gocated GEO located
by CNN to near Kuwait's Al Jarra shows what appears
to be a pilot parachuting to the ground. Follows a
video of a fighter jet crashing near a US base
in the area. No word what that airline or what
country the airline is from. So that's a situation there.

(14:55):
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to nine to text.
You want to come through, Marcus Till midnight tonight, feel
free to partake in the discussion you want to talk
about this or anything else. Not sure what the impact
is for New Zealand as far as the flight too,
but I know the lot of the flights are grounded.
Katari Airways flights to remain suspended due to the ongoing
closure of the country's airspace. It says that we'll resume

(15:16):
operation as soon as Kataria authority is to clear a
safe reopening of the airplace airspace. There we go twenty
five past eight. If you want to be involved with
the show eight hundred eighty eighty. If you want to text,
it's nine to nine two with your through tour midnight.
Do not look forward to what you've got to say,
anything else you want to comment about to as far
as school camps and magnuma and magnet sleep blankets and

(15:41):
also the cold steps coming up the country. Yeah, caught
me by surprise. David's Marcus, welcome and good evening.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
Yeah, hi, Marcus, just listening to you about the magnets
and the bead and that type of thing they would
call biomeg. Do you remember the name?

Speaker 9 (16:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (16:03):
I do, and so my wife order set for the
for the bead which also included the pillow covers.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Really I didn't know.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
Yeah, but there was only one problem with the pillow
covers is that I wore my watch to bed and
that just completely played heavoc with the battery of my watch.
So I tooked, I took my one off.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
And what was the What was the effect of the magnets?
Did they work?

Speaker 8 (16:36):
Nothing? Really startling at all.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
So it was no different, not really not. And I
guess that was the case by the time you got
your magnets and you weren't quite sure if they were
going to work or not, were you. I mean, that
was the thing you send it back. Lot of theffing
around the peck stuff. I wondered too, if they're not
much of a thing these days with people with cell
phones and stuff, you wouldn't want them around with all
your magnets. It probably, I.

Speaker 8 (16:59):
Don't think so. I think it was just a bit
of a fashion thing, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Have you still got it? No, gone, might give it
a go, I might get scientific go and report back.
But yeah, how many there have been ten years ago?
Would it?

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (17:18):
No'be probably fifteen nearly twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Okay, nice to talk Dave, Thank you, Gosh, all our
callers tonight had been Dave, which I've liked. If you're
a Dave or someone else, want to come through tonight.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eight bit coin versus gold.
I know what I'll be putting my money if I
wanted a hedge against tough times, also situations in Iran.
If you've got comments that you want to make on
that feel free and a lot of people are dying

(17:43):
to get online commenting and stuff, and you want to
have got things to say. A lot of talk last week,
for I had the straits of all moves. The pinch
point percent of the oil flows through there. Of course,
the soul of power doesn't flow through there, does it?
I know something to be said to be self sufficient
food for thought, isn't it? But get in touch if

(18:03):
you want to be a part of the show. Oh
eight hundred and eighty Today the inch, them quake and
school trips. I realized, probably I'm throwing too many topics
at you. But that's just sometimes what you do, and
not a third day. It's not a third day anyway,
the day with just Dave's But yes, oil surges, stock
markets sink as war disrupts crude supply, so I'll keep

(18:30):
an eye on those tonight. I think the Asian markets
have opened and all across that for the next three hours.
Hold your horses, Gary, I'll be with you soon. I'm
just serving several couple different masters tonight. We are talking
magnet underlays, and well that's the topic for tonight. The magnets.

(18:51):
You don't know if that work or not. Actually, I've
never really been one for therapeutic magnets. I want to
knock it, but I've never thought what I needed in
my life is more magnets. I think it was with
the wool underlay as well, wasn't it with the wall
with the magnets inside of that was a reflesh one.
So yes, Dave, this is Marcus. Good evening, and welcome.

Speaker 10 (19:10):
Good evening, Marcus. I'm ringing about the bio magnagnetic underlay. Yes, yeah,
my wife bought one, actually two. We've ended up replacing
it with the wolfskin one about ten twelve years ago,
and I don't think the magnetic was much, never noticing

(19:31):
a major difference. But I can tell you the wolfskin,
cheap skin one is very comfortable to sweep on, especially
in the winter with an electric blanket under it, and
the only effect of ever had from the magnets has
been as another bloke said, hey, were you.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
But look at you. You make a point because wool
underlays were a huge thing and a great thing. I
put wool on the but you don't hear them. You
don't hear them promoted anywhere as much. If people steered
away from that as well.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
Yeah, I don't know, but I mean I'm still this
one's as I said, We've had over ten years.

Speaker 11 (20:10):
Oh I lost my wife.

Speaker 10 (20:12):
Eight years ago, so I've had it from the last
stays on my own and the magnetic effect on my
watch isn't as dramatic as the other bloat, so I
still wear. It's a dead but towards the end of
the battery life it starts. You'll wake up in the
morning and your watchers had a we sweep with you

(20:33):
for a while, and it might be an hour, hour
or two out and you know it's time to replace
for the batteries.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Try to think what happened to the wall rest because
you never see them that they were and it seemed
to be a real standard for tourist shops, two people
from China and Japan that'd come here and they'd begin
well underlays like this note tomorrow. But I think they've
all been replaced with things like those cluster puffs, that
synthetic stuff.

Speaker 10 (20:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I know they were cheap. I
think they're about a thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh yeah, they quite well. I mean, of course too.
I wouldn't begrudge the farmers, but there wasn't much else
they could do with the wall. But that was a
whole skins, wasn't it.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yes, certainly that was just when you brought it up,
I thought, well, there you go. It's it was a thing,
and it still is in white world.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
We'll probably get someone that still swears about the magnets
and can't find a replacement. Feel free to come for
if you want to talk. We are talking sleep and
underlays and magnets and sheepskin and anything else that you
want to mention tonight. It's you'll show remember that I've
got text or something else? Do do come through. I've
got the I got my eyes on the news tonight. Also,
so if obviously Marcus mine was called magnetic fleecy will

(21:43):
and underlay brought mine with fly by points. Snow on
the Tunahous this morning. Currently ten degrees in Levi in
travel east. The America should be okay, but Trevor West
will be disrupted, as it seems Hubedd either Doha or
Dubai both disrupted by Iran's missile response to Trump's attack. Marcus,
if you had sheets and pillowcases full of magnets, it

(22:05):
must have been any difficult getting them out of the
washing machine. I don't think it was as pillow case
as that had magnets. I think it must have been
the pillows. I'd like to wear a magnet suit. Were
those magnets meant to stop cramp? I think they were.
I think they were. I think they were to promote

(22:27):
blood flow. And I think magnets always was one of
those pretty much all round heal all things. We have
a great night's sleep, Stephen yours. Yes, I'm fully aware
that Murray Dicky used to promote them. Yeah, we know that.
And he seems fit in flight. I don't know if
he's still on a on the magnet himself anyway, Jump in,

(22:50):
Marcus till midnight, oh eight hundred and eighty. We seem
to be on one and under lays and school camps.
That's the topic so far, Marcus. Isn't it strange how
a new season starts the weather changes dramatically. I've often
thought that, Jay, I've often thought, how suddenly I wake
up and it feels udumbnal and it's just a day,
and that's a man made construct, the calendar with Caesar

(23:12):
and Augustus. Yet suddenly, just like that, just like that,
it's it feels autumnal. Go figure. I don't know what
that's about. Is that psychology that if you're if you're
that a day feels colder because of the month. Be
an interesting science project to do that one. Get in touch,

(23:34):
Marcus till midnight tonight if you want to be a.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
Part of it.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Oh eight nine nine to detext. Also talking about gold
and bitcoin. Good evening, Marcus. How about electric scooters have
bells on them along with mobility scooters. I've an elderly
citizen has always been run over, both from the front
and the back. A bell would make all the better
for me and people. I don't think people are getting
hit that often by scooters, are they? I think I

(23:59):
think you're real, you're real. Banded as the car Marcus
will underlaze. I always remember selling too good proto them
on TV. Anyway that we're on about tonight. Ah, I
like your text, Roger. I'm not going to read it,
but thank you. Twenty four away from nine get in
touch you want to be a part of HITTL midnight tonight.

(24:20):
The number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty gosh.
By the way to with the rugby, I thought Vegas
was great for the first time. The last two times
I've had its been a little bit petchy, but I
thought the matches were quite good today close both of
them went right to the whistle almost, so that was exciting.
They're good to watch Newcastle one, which I even thought
one of the super rugby matches was quite good over

(24:41):
the weekends. So it's good to get a a sport back.
And oh yes, let me keep you updated with news
to I see some of the websites that have got
rolling updates too, so that's easy for me to keep
you across all of that. So yes, Israel says crossings

(25:04):
to Gaza, where much needed humanitarian aid passes will remain
closed while the war Iran continues. It's the latest too
Trump said that more US service members will likely be killed.
He said the US would avenge the deaths of three
service members, sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.
And Iran foreign ministers is Islamic Republic spent two decades

(25:25):
studying US military Foreign minister Abbas Arakchi said the Islamic
Republicans spent two decades studying US military operations region and
had since incorporated lessons cout. Accordingly, bombings and our capital
have no impact on our ability to conduct war. What
was interesting too is people have redubbished when they'd bombed
with those bunker busters, they'd bombed Iran's nuclear facility, and

(25:48):
said that that was it. They're obliterated. But within a
very short time they were then saying that there's that
picture of that plane crashing again. They were saying within
months that they are on the cusp of feasible nuclear weapons.
So some of it doesn't ring true. Twenty one away
from nine, someone has texted through would a magnet underlay

(26:14):
help with menopause sweats at night? I got no idea,
but it might be expensive and not help and that
would be a waste. That would be my concern. But
thank you for that text Marcus electric scooters go fast
steps outside of dairy. Two young boys on scooters nearly
hit me. Then two days later, two days later two

(26:36):
young girls and he hit me. If I get hit,
then what by the way? I can still by the way,
can still get them for pets. Also magnets for your pets.
Cyclists on footpaths. I live near a corner on a
cul de sac street. I was backing into my driveway.
I looked both ways for traffic and pedestrians on the
footpath to get my drive all clear, and there was

(26:56):
no way a pedestrian could be and in my car
after my chicks. But wow, a cyclist was behind my
car on the path when backing in. Cyclists be way
more than Pedestrians's not such a good idea to allow
cyclists on paths. You've's going to be aware, though. That's
not a great idea always to allow cyclists on roads,
because it sickly children, because you've got distractive drivers, you've

(27:19):
got drivers texting. If a cyclist get hitched by a
car to get killed, So there needs to be some
sort of a third way or middle way. I think
I don't know what that is yet, but Yeah, there's
a lot of hysteria around cyclists. That's I think the
hysteria is orchestrated and deliberate and a lot of people

(27:40):
buy into it. But I don't know if it's always
based in fact. But A, cyclists aren't killing anyone. You're
not the ones killing people. So I think most cyclists
would be failure aware. They need to look after themselves
because when you're getting on a bike, you're realizing that
anyone can kill you. So it's pretty much bio beware,
and that's not quite the right expression. It's like the cyclists,

(28:03):
it's like the cyclist version of bio be right to beware.
I don't know what the Latin for riders. It's not
Kevin empty though? Is it? Put in her bikes in
Roman days? Did they be chariots? Chariot emp door the
text Marcus till midnight? Hello mo, this is Marcus.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 12 (28:27):
I was talking to a friend about east scooters and
she witnessed a young man on an east kider going
along Rickingham Road with a baby in a front pick yep.

Speaker 13 (28:38):
Isn't it shocking?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
What was shocking?

Speaker 13 (28:42):
She had a baby like three months old on a
front pick on an east scooter. But that's not normal.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Well, nothing's normal. Nothing's normal, it's progressing technology. I'm just try.
Is it worse than on a bike?

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (28:57):
Get your point.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I mean, I mean it does sound to see a.

Speaker 13 (29:02):
Baby with a helmet ont This wasn't a toddlet, this
was a Yeah. I wonder what the lauras well, I
mean we were the police. I mean, if they'd seen that,
they would have stopped her and irresponsible.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
I wonder if you could charge someone for that.

Speaker 12 (29:22):
Who knows knows, because.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
What would you charge them with endangering a child on
perfectly legal.

Speaker 13 (29:29):
Well, maybe she's not mentally well, I mean you wouldn't
do that normally.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, what about those people with push bikes with kids
on the front of them that look for vulnerable there
and they've got cargo bikes? Would you say that? Would
you say that the immensely well, I mean that it
comes down to judgment.

Speaker 13 (29:47):
I'm not being judgment. Yeah, I mean that they were
I've seen those rounds and albans, helmets on hybrids, pens.
This was a very unusual example. I couldn't believe.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
No, I think yeah, I think it would. I think
it would make you look twice. But then then you know,
what if you take what if you take your eight
year old, you know, eleven year old to climb Mount
Everest as well? I mean there's yeah, it becomes complicated.

Speaker 13 (30:15):
Doesn't You can't compare, You can't compare.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Well, you got you got to try and work out
a continuum though, don't you about what we can be
concerned about? Mo But yeah, until people get freaked out
by scooters on footpaths, there's no doubt about that, Marcus.
Forget about magnetic underlay is what about jolly ambler necklaces
for teething? Oh wow, that's right. I think people thought
that was a I'd forgotten about that teething. That's right,
amber necklaces for teething. And I think that that was

(30:39):
partially good, but partially a bit of a rought. Marcus.
When we were young were taught to give way to
drive phrase and pedestrians, we were riding on footpaths, footpaths,
when the ideal thing would be for a lot more
people to be out cycling. And we've actually kind of
when the bikes. She's used to be full of bikes
at schools, Now no one bikes. So and I think

(31:02):
that everyone, even the educations, would admit that when people biked,
it was a good thing. The world was bigger, they
were fitter, but these depended on their parents fearing them around.
It was a very very good thing. And suddenly the
perception of cycling being so dangerous that parents have kind
of steered their children away from it. China's Foreign Ministry

(31:24):
has confirmed a Chinese national has been killed in the
attacks in Tehran. What about you, But this thing seems
to be broadening, doesn't it, Not just on the back
of that comment, but on the news in the last
sort of hour or two. That's very much the vibe
I am getting with this. Thirteen away from eleventh, thirteen
away from nine o'clock back soon, get in touch. You

(31:46):
want to be a part of the show. The number
is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ninety, Jackie, it's Marcus.
Good evening, Oh.

Speaker 14 (31:52):
Good eating, Marcus. I just wanted to say, because I've
got no vision and they have a cane, it's very difficult.
And I live in Queen Street in Auckland City. Wow,
and the scooters up and down the footpath and they've
got two people on these scooters. You know, and I've
seen a few accidents where they've gone too fastan and

(32:13):
they've you know, got tossed off the scooters. I think
they're really but there's a path where they can ride
that they don't They go on the footpath and they
come really close to you, and it's and I'll be
hearing age too. And I don't think they've taken too
account because I worried that my cane might hit them
as you know, I'm moving the cane and they might

(32:35):
fall off these scooters.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
So what's the solution to embrace all forms of transport
that people want to use.

Speaker 14 (32:43):
I'm not sure that I think that those extensive cycle
paths or what they've got they should be riding.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
On that on the that as expensive, but they're as
expensive as roads.

Speaker 14 (32:54):
Jackie, Yeah, I guess so I don't.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
That's the whole thing, the expensive cycle ways. But let's
look at the costs of roads. So yeah, I've just
got to tone down the rhetoric. I reckon, Yvon, it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (33:09):
Oh hello, Marcus. You prompted my thinking and that when
you said about Iran just being part of something you know,
broader happening, and I don't know whether it was a
few countries or perhaps you might have meant globally and

(33:32):
that are you able to tell me?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Oh yeah, I think it was just a community saying
it's saying escalating. I think there's more countries getting involved,
and I think we're seeing that throughout the course of today.
I see that Turkey's closed its borders with Iran to
crossings by ratings, visiting for short trips. Commercial freight crossings
are continuing at the stage. It's also too that if
there's a huge number of people that do leave around

(33:55):
I think there's ninety million, one hundred million people there
and they moved to neighboring countries, then that will continue
to destabilize the region. One would think if you look
at the strip, like what's going to go on the
next couple of days weeks? Man, skis? I mean this
is going to be something imagine we'll be talking about
in twenty years time. I would think it's not a
four week thing. Nice to talk to you, Thank you.

(34:18):
Stepping away from nine backsone evening, Malcolm, This is Marcus.

Speaker 7 (34:22):
Welcome, goody Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Thing Malcolm here?

Speaker 7 (34:26):
Hey, I'm not talking specifically about what's going on and around.
You've been talking about it tonight, but I'm coming up
sixty nine. When I was five and a half years
old when the Cuban missile crisis came up, And I
would just like to make this point. JFK was not

(34:48):
the most perfect, non corrupt present. But when I when
I was five and a half, I lived in Fort Williams.
That is lawfully we had two hundred ships, SHUBs, aircraft, carriage.
You wouldn't know what and it was so close. And

(35:13):
there's one that things that JFK did. He acted decisively
and stopped that. You imagine five and a half years old,
I still remember as it was yesterday, But what's going
on today is much more Friday.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Where was Fort william As.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
You've got a man in charge who is so on and.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
Is not.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Nice to talk. Malcolm, thank you, something said even has
joined in now attacking the Saudi oil refinery. Marcus, it's
the start of World War three. Cheese. Well, you've got
to work out what is the criteria for to be
called a world war particularly? Well, I suppose anyway, do
you get in touch you on to talk one of
is Marcus welcome here on midnight tonight. It's a varied hour,
wasn't It went from Magnet's and your when you're sleep

(36:06):
to the Cuban missile crisis. Of course, Cuba might still
be on the cards, and Greenland there's no shortage of
places that and Panama weethough imagine they're putting themselves thin. Now,
get in touch if you want to talk. Here till
midnight tonight, nine oh seven seven pass nine. Greetings and welcome.
I hope it's good where you are. People feel free

(36:27):
to come through the numbers. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty, and we're talking school camps. We are also
talking magnetic underlays. And someone wants to know about copper
bracelets if they are still well, there's still a thing.
Did they even work here? We're going down that road tonight,

(36:47):
and I'm quite happy with that. Get in touch if
you want to talk. Someone's end a long text about
copper bracelets. We recently cleaned I didn't say that long. Disparagingly.
We recently cleaned out my late grandfather's flat and found
it kept all our grandmother's stuff, including seven of her
bracelets made of either brass or copper. As I recall
for arthritis. Did they actually work? And what else are

(37:10):
they good for? You don't see there's so much anymore
the copper. Someone says this is the start of World
War three. Well, yes, I think no confirm calls the
US war playing crashes, but all crew members have survived
and in a stable condition in hospital. Yes, Marcus have

(37:35):
all helped breaks loose Luxe Morgret siding up to Trump
and he can kiss the election goodbye. It's interesting measuring
how to speculate how much the election will be influenced
by what's happening in Iran. Obviously it's not gonna help
with the inflation and the cost of living. I wouldn't
think that would be one of the things that could
impact on it. The recovery, I would imagine, will be

(37:59):
delayed because of this new Zenna's playing around. In the
first game of the feet for World Cup, we might
win by default. Yeah, I'm not quite sure what The
fief is. Pretty corrupt, don't they let war stop the
tournament going ahead? I mean, jeep as creepers. They had
the one in Russia and Russia are just involved invaded

(38:20):
where we had Russia just invaded before they had the
World Cup place beginning with C. Anyway, Marcus, what about
when everyone had coke bottles on their front lawns filled
with water? That's right, I don't it was just coke.
It was any plastic soft drink bottle. Get in touch
you want to talk Marcus till midnight tonight eight hundred
and eighty nine two nine to detext. If there is

(38:42):
something else you want to talk about tonight, that's the
plans stand keep it going, phone it through. So yeahs
I say, there's obviously people want to talk about Aram,
but there's all sorts of other stuff you probably that
you care. I mean, I'm not saying that. I'm not
saying you can't talk about anything, but you might want
to talk about around for four hours as well. That's

(39:04):
kind of the vibe I'm getting with that one. You
know how it goes. Sometimes people want to sit back
and work out what's going on before they formulate their
views and think what they've got to say. And that's
not necessarily always a bad thing either. So yeah, get
in touch Marcustro midnight tonight, oh eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine to de text anything else
you want to comment on say talk about perfect no,

(39:31):
not fust minds. You can do what you want actually anyway,
but do come through if there's something you want to mention,
as I say, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two de text But yeah, lines there
free if you want to be a part of it.
Romance here at midnight, But yeah, do come through D

(39:54):
to D and yeah, I'll do what I can to
keep my data with news when it happens. Also at
the moment, we're seeing stories that explosions are rockic across
the Middle East, and it seems as though Iran's been
widely attacked. So it seems we're going to be not

(40:14):
short of news throughout the next three hours tonight. So
do get in touch. You want to be a part
of it, as I say, eight en eighty and nine
nine to detext you want to be a part of
the show. Looking for to your cals room for every
won twelve past nine and I wanted to go with
the school. Oh, by the way, the Edgecomb earthquake too.
I was going to mention that what did mention that

(40:35):
you might have memories of that? I think it happened
in the daytime I don't think anyone was killed, but
it had caused massive kind of cracks around. Kab was
always called the edgecomb quake. And school camps. As far
as where did you go and please school still do them?
I think the easiest thing would be we can't be
bothered with that anymore. Too much faffing around. It was very,
very important. So yeah, I be curious to know some

(40:56):
of the adventurous teachers you had and where they took you.
I can imagine there were some quite adventurous school camps
in the day, So yeah, it'd be nice to hear
from you about that. Also tonight, Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine to the texts you
do want to come through? Oh those amber necklaces. Amber
necklaces to help with teething babies. What a load of codswallop.

(41:20):
I wasn't quite sure of the theory, but people got
under them. The kids kind of head them forever. Marcus
just tuned enough to choir practice. Has anyone talked about
buying a muscle mat for their beard? Is it worth it?
Could someone explain to me what a muscle matters? I've
got no idea. Someone said Iraq is on standby to
take the place of a Roart at the World Cup.

(41:41):
The irony there must there must be thoughts of boycotting
the event. Trump always said you can't of elections while
there's a war on, so it's quite obvious why he
did it. So a bit there to talk about if
you want to talk, as I say, Marcus, till midnight,
oh eight hundred eighty towny and nine two nine to text. Oh,
by the way, to I mentioned that I haven't mentioned
that before on the show the Elvis movie. If you've

(42:03):
been to see that, I see people raving about that.
How good was it? So yeah, if you've got something
to say about that, it'd be nice to hear from you.
As I say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty, get
in touch and I will keep you updated throughout the
news from around the rest of the country that's happening
tonight also too. So that's a promise for you. Just

(42:25):
trying to work out what day it was today in history,
So we just find an email and I'll bring that
to your people. Boom boom boom, boom boom. Marcus, we
spoke the other night about ham Radio just of interest.
I was talking to my girlfriend of seven years from
the Philippines on Facebook Messenger at one thirty four pm,
musing in times, she said that sirens were sounding, and
at one thirty seven pms she said she heard an explosion.

(42:48):
She's working in Algiajara. It is as a domestic worker
for a large family on a two year contract. She's
very scared and can't leave every she wanted to because
her employee takes your passport and is stored in the
house safe. The explosions she heard would have been the
American Embassy that her arm was targeting it in the Philippines.
That's from a caller or a Texter's not so much

(43:12):
about that. Marcus, Jeffson Clear and Tim Bigger Stuff used
to advertise the biomag metross top as a ruddy pacifically
the early nineties. Wow, David's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.
Hi DAVEH Hi.

Speaker 16 (43:24):
I just wanted to tell you about the new self checker.
The self checker machines they have with the terminals, the
white ones that have been out for a couple of months.
I find they're a bit faulty with the swing. You
check your ticket, it comes up new Zealand motaries and

(43:45):
so like today, I had five tickets. There were bonus tickets,
so they just had four or five lines on it.
So I went to check them. I checked them all once,
all of them, and they all came up New Zealand
lotteries and that's all that came up. And then I
went to check them again and it congratulations, you're on a

(44:08):
bonus tickets. And I've done that before, and I spoke
to the retailer about it. I said, your machines are faulty.
He has tell me about it, just endless problems with them,
So I believe that it's terrible. You know a lot
of people will only do it once and think, Okay,

(44:28):
it's thinket, it's so good, throw it away.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Why do you suspect their faulty because because I checked
the tickets? Sorry, Dave, you've got me wrong. What what
do you suspect? Why do you.

Speaker 16 (44:44):
Suspect the machines are faulty? The self checker machine?

Speaker 9 (44:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Sorry? Why do you suspect? I know what you're saying,
they are faulty. Do you think it's because they can't
read them? Yeahs the bad code because it should be
quite straightforward.

Speaker 9 (45:01):
The leaders, but.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Or something.

Speaker 16 (45:06):
No, no, no, the new machines. I spoke to the
retailer and he said, bring back the old machines any time,
and he said he can't. They can't. And he spoke
to the lotto rep and he said, they've been having
endless problems with them. Well they should do something about it.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
I think I wonder if someone sabotage them so they
can actually get the all o. Ye that's a bit.

Speaker 16 (45:31):
No, no, no, they want, they want to do that,
they want to you know, it's just the modern day
technology is not you know, like they think they're having
something new and wonderful and that's so advanced and can
check your lot of tickets much faster. But they don't work.
That's all to it.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
We'll get some more comments, Dave, thanks so much. That
hold your horse if you're on, and I'll get to you.
Jermany's foreign ministers said they will not actively participate in
military action against Iran, but we'll consider defending soldiers on
multinational basis and Jordan and Iraq nineteen past nine, twenty
one past nine. Scottie Marcus, welcome, Hey, good.

Speaker 17 (46:11):
Mate, how are you good? Scotty good, I've just got
back from school camp. Actually on Friday.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 17 (46:16):
So we went to Aughton Bradley Park. Do you know
where that is?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Look, you better tell me the autumn Autumn or auton
O R T O N. Yeah, Bradley sounds like a
war hero or something, is it?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 17 (46:30):
Apparently planted a whole lot of native trees. Let's to
start at the back of Diamond Harbor. So around the
back of the other side of the peninsula, round by
Diamond Harbor near Charteris Bay.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Sounds fantastic.

Speaker 17 (46:45):
Yeah, yes, a bunch of I live twelve year olds actually,
so what's that?

Speaker 3 (46:51):
That's how That's how old my boy is. He's at
school camp at the moment. That's why I mentioned it.

Speaker 17 (46:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it was my first It was
the first time I went. I've got three kids, but
it was the sort of the last opportunity because all
the other ones are a bit older. So, yeah, last
opportunity to go, and I did. And I thought I'd
be out of my comfort zone a weab it because
you know, I like glamping.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
But did they make you work for you? How as
a parent?

Speaker 17 (47:16):
They actually got I was doing a lot more than
I thought.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
So that's what Vanessa said. You said you'd be useless
to make you work the whole time. That was surely
you wouldn't. Surely I'll be out there sort of telling
jokes and tramping. But you okay, so you're were there
to work.

Speaker 17 (47:29):
Yeah, you're there to work in the kitchen, you know,
on breakfast, on dinners, cleaning out. The kids didn't want
for anything. They didn't really have to do much apart
from you know, clean their own plate and all that
sort of stuff. I ended up having to all the
bee laying. So when they were doing the high ropes
course and you had to belay them, so they give
you a bit of a tutorial on how to do it.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Oh yeah, so you were like a c anchor for them. Yeah,
I've done that at work course this year.

Speaker 17 (47:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. So I did all that. And
then when when they're doing the EBB sailing, you're just
trying to you are sort of telling jokes and just
trying to keep them occupied and not trying to get
under the people that are eb sailing down. But but
you certainly do a bit of work. It's but it's
very cool, very very rewarding. And I think the biggest
thing I took out of it is just watching some

(48:14):
children when they turned up on the first day sort
of bride eid and and then and but also a
bit nervous. And then by the end of it they've
come out of the show.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
And Scotty, I thought, you think about the end of it,
you'd broke them. That was a good bright eyed by
the end of it.

Speaker 11 (48:30):
No, that was great.

Speaker 17 (48:32):
Yeah, yeah, so it was really really cool. I'll tell
you what dulllight it was me. I had to sleep
for a couple of days. I was naked.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
So I've probably got a lot of respect for teachers now.

Speaker 11 (48:40):
Have you.

Speaker 17 (48:42):
You're yeah, I if I could go back and then
my time again, I might have been a teacher. And yeah,
they kind of said, oh, you missed your calling. You're
really good with the children. And I think I'm good
with other people's, maybe not so much much mine.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
So it was was your own child rolling their eyes
when they when they said.

Speaker 17 (48:57):
That, yeah, he's the one. I'm not doing that. I'm
not doing that. I'm not getting up on that high beam,
you know. But you coach the other ones into it
and they do it. So but but I thoroughly enjoyed
it and the kids. It is so rewarding. You look
at some of those teachers and you I can kind
of see why you do this, and they do do
a good job. Pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
What was the name of the parks? Got it? Because
this is probably a christ church? Would a lot of
kids have gone there for their school camp?

Speaker 17 (49:25):
Yeah? Yeah, I think a lot of them go to
Living Springs, which is kind of you probably heard of that,
But Living Springs is just around the corner. And this
is Auton Auton Bradley.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Okay, it's kind of like it's got al barracks and
stuff they stay in, is it?

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
No?

Speaker 17 (49:39):
Now that's tents?

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Okay, God? Even better?

Speaker 17 (49:41):
Wow you yeah, yes, so we're all tinting yet we had,
you know, a dozen girls tents on one side of
the field, a dozen boys tents on the other side
of the field, and appearance up against the fence line.
So yeah, it was. It was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
And I'm always I'm always worried about kids camping and
splitting their toes on tent pigs. None of that.

Speaker 17 (50:01):
None of that. They were They were actually all like
pretty well behaved. Of course, there was a couple that
stayed up till three am, A couple that tried to
get into the girls tent, of course, but other than that,
it was pretty pretty well.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Behaved and well cell phones, no phones, anyone take phones.

Speaker 17 (50:20):
I reckon there would have been a couple of Swifton
but but but to be honest, I did not see
I did not see any We did spotlighting in the
pitch black on the first night, and you know, there
might have been one injury, a little bit of cast
on the leg, and and that was about it. So yeah,
pretty pretty cool and all the autonomy in the world
to make the choices of what they wanted to do,

(50:42):
where they wanted to go, what they wanted to say,
and then of course you know they had the big
lip sync battle at the at the end of that
was very cool. So yeah, very very cool, Campo, and
I'm very happy that I did it.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Great report back, Scotty, brilliant. Hi Mark, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 13 (50:58):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (50:59):
Just a bit about those loto machines. Sure, I've been.
I've been in a couple of shops recently where the
lotto machine is a bit and makes little mistakes, and
I believe it's due to a power shortage in these
small dairies and groceries that don't have enough power, and
they've got all these fans and all these fridges and
all the lights going, and I must have a certain

(51:19):
limit of power in those buildings. Makes sense, and a
lot of machine would use the huge amount of power.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Are you a sparky the sounds that you're onto it?
You know about me?

Speaker 18 (51:28):
I just happened to notice. It happened every time I
went into this dairy that I had the heaps of doing,
and it just clicked off every now and then. There's
a lot of machine and I had to put the
picket back in again. I presume it's the power, because
a lot of machines would use a lot of power
as well.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Thanks Mark good and tell thank you. Twenty seven past
nine Marcus in the nineties, out of the school camp
at a dock campground up the Coda rang a valley, there's
a big marquis set up for dining. One night, four
boys of us behaving. The guy in charge dragged them
into the marquis, gave them a bollocking as punishment, told
to sit on one of the trestle tables and not
move until said the could go to bed. Then he

(52:07):
went to bed and fell asleep. It rained in the
middle of the night, and the whole marquet eventually collapsed
on the top of the boys. They were fine. Wow,
Well it sounds bad, says like something not coping. There
is an exceptionally cold suddenly and Wellington for this time
of the year. Just had a half just had a
hail shower in Western Hills. Temperature now six and a
half degrees. Allen Marcus, Trump and Yet and Yaho are

(52:29):
causing a world crisis. First Guards and then Iran. Next
could be Chara and Russia coming to way Iran. Who
knows anyway, Magnetic underlay awesome, always woke three even pain
Billy able to breathe first start with underlay, step through
the night, wokee pain free and lo going on to
talk back. Well, I was also talking. Copper shied the

(52:50):
fire going. I fought the fire going. We had friends
come to stay on Saturday. Ah. They friends of friends,
well their friends friends and friends of friends, friends with
friends of friends. But that from I thought that Californians.
I thought, I beg that the fat the the fire
going for them because it'd be freezing. I think one
of them was fromlank Ta. I think one of them
was from a squie resorts, so they would have monitored

(53:12):
the cold. It's quite It wasn't awkward, but they I
feel they've been told about our remarkably small fridge, so
they all had one first come in and look at
how small our fridge was. I thought I didn't know
it was a talking point which a small fridge, but
it was not a remarkably small fridge. But anyway, it's

(53:33):
just because the kitchen was I've got to replacement fridge
to fit the kitchen, and the kitchen got redone and
we had the same fridge. But yet it is small.
But I didn't know it was going to be on
the tourist circuit. But yeah, that's the thing, the remarkably
small fridge. I don't know how big it would be.
It's not that it's remarkably small. It's probably the worst
thing is that the h the freezers on the top,

(53:56):
so you're down on your knees to get anything out
the the fridge. You only get the kids to do
it because it's just so low. I did think about
turning it upside down, but I don't imagine you can
turn a fridge upside down. Can you imagine that's not
going to work with the heat coil or whatever, however
they work anyway. Very cold in Wellington, Marcus, Nostra damers,
particularly for twenty twenty six. It just appeared of an

(54:17):
intense conflict. Oh yeah, sure, we're not going on about
Nostro damas soon, are we? Sheep is even say nineteen
ninety six. Also back to Wellington. Just had a hail
shower in the Western Hills. Temperature now six and a
half degrees so very cold, very very cold. That's thanks Ellen.
Good update. So I appreciate that. Saudi Arabia also said

(54:41):
it has intercepted drones targeting one of its oil refineries.
I imagine that could be strategic. Well, obviously strategic, but that
could be one of the focuses could be on oil
and the world's demand for oil. Marcus, have any of
the oyster boats been out yet, Laura. I'm actually away
from Bluff today, but I can say that, yeah, well,
there's certainly some of the some of the oyster boats

(55:01):
aren't going out because of the state of the oyster beds.
But I did see that there is a food cart
in bluff that did say they had oysters today ones
and twos, so I thought that was interesting. They said
that was seconds, so maybe the size them is not great.
But there is much talk and bluff about the oysters
and the quality of the beds. So yeah, i'd say

(55:21):
much talk there is. There is talk and concerned talk.
But obviously it's also a business that's worth a great
deal for the town the harvest. But there's also some
of the ones with longer thinking. I've got concerns of
the future viability of the fishery also, so there will

(55:43):
certainly be an oyster festival because Romans going to it.
So yeah, oh yeah, And if I still be driving
the courtesy bus, I think I might be get myself
involved in that. I've always wanted to be involved with
the courtesy Bus. I did some trips into town last

(56:03):
year for people going out from the Oyster. That's quite good.
Good spirits. People are good spirits here midnight. My name
is Marcus. Welcome Ben, good evening.

Speaker 5 (56:11):
Yeah, Marcus, just two things, Just quickly give them what's
happened overseas. I'm very worried about my key we saver
because I've got it and I had it in an
aggressive high risk fund.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
And that's a thing of high risk, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
Yeah, well, jumping on satellite just after this happened online
and changed it to just a cash any fund, and
I got the confirmation from the bank this morning it's
changed over.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
I think I'm not supposed to give financial advice, right.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
No, no, no, I'm not going to any financial advice.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
I think after instability, if you switched to a conservative fund,
then you've locked and all the losses.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
Yeah, well, it depends on how quickly they changed it over.

Speaker 16 (56:55):
A so I think I.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
Think the great gains happen and two or three yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
yeah did you get Did you get advice on that?

Speaker 4 (57:05):
No?

Speaker 5 (57:06):
What I just from previous experience, you know, over COVID
and a few other things, when it just went off
a cliff start and I lost a bit of money,
So I.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Thought it recovered quite quickly. It recovered quite quickly.

Speaker 9 (57:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Look, then I thought I'll change it over. I'll see
how it goes, and i'll switch it back in a
month or two. You know, things get better. But yeah,
I was just worried about all the people, you know,
who start seeing the key we say we're going down.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
If you I mean, if you if you google up
Mary home Holmes, who's a writer for the papers who
writes about key, we say, if you have a look
at some of her columns, I think she's always advising
that you're best not to react and change it around
and get for uncertainty. But but it's probably Yeah, so

(57:51):
that might be something we're thinking thinking that's what the
wise And she's not she's not working for any fund managers.
She's always quite quite a sentible independent person. But yeah,
but anyway, that's that's what you've done. So you've done
it now, so that's given you peace of mind.

Speaker 19 (58:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:06):
And then just on the you know, I see the
oil refineries are getting hurt in Saudi Arabia in the
last hour, so maybe they're getting hit.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
Or were they say were they getting hit or they're
saying they've turned back drones.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
No, no, no, it's on it's on the news. We've
got seen it on CNN or somethingthing. They actually hit
photos of the oil refinery on fire, and I was like, oh,
I want to guess up.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
So yeah, yeah, guess up or go solar.

Speaker 5 (58:33):
Well, you know, everyone needs to card get to work,
so you know, pull it right up.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
They get all out of Venezuela, now, won't they.

Speaker 5 (58:42):
Well, I actually think we get out. We get out
oil from South Korea and Singapore. That's where most of
our oil comes from. But regardless of that, the oil
price is going up, and when the oil price goes up,
we will pay.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Should have taken your KEII saver out and put into gold.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
You can't do that, Marcus, father had the probably would Okay.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah, okay, fair enough. Nice to talk. Being twenty five
to ten here on midnight. My name is Marcus. Good evening,
looking forward to what you've got to say. So, yes, so,
situation with the oil refineries. This is a report from Bloomberg.
Saudi Aramco has holding operations at its rest Tenua refinery

(59:28):
in Saudi Arabia after a drone strike in the area.
The refinery makes the largest in Saudi Arabia, can process
five and fifty thousand bollers of crude per day. So yep,
So it does seem as though this is going to
all be about oil. Well, no surprise is there, and
they're targeting refineries. Marcus, did you watch Country Canada last night?
We really enjoyed it. I think Country Canada was on

(59:48):
the Kinner Harvesters. I think that was what it was about.
I think they was getting kinner from I did see
the promo for but didn't watch it, but yeah, maybe
what might want to talk about?

Speaker 8 (59:55):
That?

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Was it the first shop the other day and I
didn't see there was some I wonder if to get
myself more into Kinner anyway lines they're free talking about
Iran and talking out school camps and talking about copper
bracelets and magnets in your underlay, Underlay, underlay, struggle. Always
got to say that. I always can't say underlay without

(01:00:17):
saying it twice. It's like me with look, come to me.
Israel has caught up more than one hundred thousand reserves
since Saturday. Thank you. Israel said it's keeping all options
on the table for possive ground up operations in Lebanon.
That's some of the latest news. It's through too, so

(01:00:38):
get in touch you on a talk. Marcus to Midnight
to Night oh eight hundred and eighty ten The Night's
flying by twenty three away from ten o'clock oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty seen in his Breaking News Explosion
near the US airbase in herbal Arago. That's the Iraqi one.
So I didn't know they had an airbase there. Looks
like they're sending some of their reporters into the war

(01:01:00):
zone now, like Bagdad Baghdad, Pete. Who can forget Peter
Arnette when he was there twenty two from t Look
for your calls twenty away from ten lines there are
free if you want to join. Join the chat tonight,
non curated talk, but of everything, and if you want
to come through, it'll be nice to hear from you.

(01:01:22):
As I say, eight hundred eighty eight. By the way,
Tez did predict the war in the Middle East for
his five predictions. Also thought what gold would go to
ted k he's probably not far off that and the
Warriors to the finals. And also the harbor Bridge breaks
to find breaks. Oh yeah, by the way, Toddler clips tomorrow.
We see that everywhere. Dan is that at night during

(01:01:45):
the daytime? Tonight tomorrow night? Okay? Do you know what
time happens? So I eleven tomorrow evening? Okay? Good today
to eleven half past twelve. I'm waiting for the solar eclipse.
That's twenty twenty seven. Is it twenty eight? And that

(01:02:07):
gets tough out the path of totality. My two favorite
expression at the moment are path of totality and the
straits of her MOUs, which sounds like a protest today.
I won't say what it sounds like, stop myself. There
the straits of her MOUs. So the path of totality
for the solar eclipse in twenty twenty eight, it starts

(01:02:29):
at Milford Sound and ends in Dunedin. So I'm just
trying to plan where to go where there's going to
be the least chance of cloud obfuscating, and I imagine
it somewhere around Alexandra. It's going to be winter. I
think it's in July. Yeah, it's July the twenty eighth.
I've already put in for leave. It's probably a weekend,

(01:02:50):
is it. I hope it's a weekend. Anyway, there's totality.
Tomorrow there's a lunar eclipse. We also might get the
appointment of the head coach this week. We're not going
so good for Jamie Joseph. Is it mind? It's a
long season? Is that what you're supposed to say? So
that's what's happening. It is egg McMuffin day today. And

(01:03:13):
that's about all I can tell you that's exciting. Although, yeah,
get in touch. Now, what else can I tell you
that something else that was exciting? I was going to
tell you about today? Oh yes, this down history. The
Concord had it's made in flight nineteen sixty nine, so
that's what fifty seven years ago that was its first flight,

(01:03:35):
and this day in sixty five the Sound of Music premiered. Wow. Wow,
I'm sure it's still a thing. I'm sure it's still
screening somewhere. But get in touch. You want to be
part of the show. All the lines are free. Eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. By the way, Splittings are
now going to tour. They're going to play christ Church
and so they're going to play Auckland and Wellington. They

(01:03:56):
already played christ Church. People seem to be very happy
with their performance. For what a success that was. I
not one bad story about Electric Avenue because Sunday you
get the feel that I mean sometimes from being away
from it. You think christ Church ge forty five thousand
people in a park. You think cheapest creepers. I mean
it's I don't always appear to be the best behave people.

(01:04:20):
But yeah, that seemed remarkable, So that's fantastic. They did
so well at that with a fortune to the city,
the biggest festival in Australasia. So well done to all
those people. People seem to have loved it. Anyway, they're
going to be touring TSB Arena and Spark Arena, so yep,
they are back and there's no so for of course
they're going to announce they're going to tour. It was
the least surprising thing ever. There's going to be more

(01:04:42):
concerts for them. So that's what's happening. And if you
want to talk on, as I say, all the lines
are free sixteen away from twelve, six away from ten.
Rather now something else I need to tell you to
Iranian Red Cross. So the Iranian Red Cresent Society says
at least five hundred and fifty five people have been
killed in US as Raeli strikes across the country. So

(01:05:04):
that's the latest. Oh, by the way, I don't want
to throw everything at you tonight, but I'm in the
mood too. Has anyone seen the latest Scream film? Any good?
And I can also tell you as far as talk
back catnip. Not there's a shortage of things to talk
about tonight. AA have raised the flag and said we
should be looking at compulsory third party insurance. So yep,

(01:05:30):
next thing. People want insurance for scooters. So all that
stuff you can talk about if you want to. Fifteen
away from ten, eight hundred eighty eighty thirty to twelve.
Trying to keep you updated with what's happening around the
world too, particularly with the situation in the Middle East.
And I will continue to do that people, so you know,
and a lot has happened Sidney light has happened in

(01:05:52):
the last couple of hours now. The Saudi Arabia oil
refineries have been attacked by drones. The drones have been intercepted,
but there appears to be some damage to those. They
have stopped refinering. It's stopped refinery or refining oil at
some of them. Iran has launched basil attacks on Tel Aviv, Haifa,

(01:06:17):
and East Jerusalem. The death toll is five hundred and
fifty according to the Red Crescent that is in Iran.
The US Embassy and Bahrain warns terrorist groups and those
inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking US citizens abroad.
The embassy encurrige US citizens to avoid hotels in Manamah,

(01:06:38):
saying they could be targeted, and the US fighter jet
is crashed and Kuwait during the Iranian missile attack. Several
American fighter jets crashed Earl this morning, but the crew survived.
It doesn't quite say why they crashed, but the crews
are in hospital in a stable condition. And the United
Kingdom is preparing to evacuate citizens from the Middle East.

(01:07:01):
They're working to evacuate three hundred thousand Britons and the
country is targeted by Ran, so they will be Middle
East countries where there seems to be large numbers of
expats seem to go there and for the good life
some of the other things. I could just look at
the other news that's coming through. Just yeah, the oil

(01:07:23):
or a Saudi or refineries halting operations after the drones
tack seems to be the big story. But any more information,
I'll get that to your people. Don't know what the
why those warplanes have crashed. I can't get any more
information about that, but I'll look and if I find anything,
I'll let you know. And we are talking about that
and anything else tonight. Including school camps. Your key we

(01:07:46):
savor if you should put it out on an adventurous
fund when something other happens. I think that's the word. Well,
I think that's quite bad advice. They always talk about
locking in the losses. So and interesting looking at what
happens in the time of uncertainty, how gold and crypto
are performing. Kind of an opposite sentiment that gold is

(01:08:09):
going up and crypto is going down, which I don't know,
but makes me wonder if that really is a catastrophic
blow for Crypto. Now, of course it's been many other
catastrophic blows before for it, but I'm wondering if the
fact that people aren't buying that in times of uncertainty
would not mean that it's got a flaw in its policy.

(01:08:32):
You might want to comment on that also too, So
as I say, anything goes hit on midnight, not maname
as Marcus welcome, but to talk about scooters on footpath.
Don't know quite why that's come tonight, but that's back
up there, Marcus hope there are no clouds tomorrow, so
we can see the blood moon or all its owe
Marcus our clips tomorrow. There's another outside broadcast from Seawood Bush.

(01:08:55):
That bloke is mad for bailing on as key we
save a great fund like that? Yes, because it's not
going to I mean yeah, yeah, that does worry me,
Marcus reference to the last caull of a year. How
fuel might come from Singapore, South Korea where they refine
Iranian and Russian oil. So thanks that David of Taradale,

(01:09:15):
but get in touch. So as far as the strikes
on a run, one hundred and thirty one cities have
been affected by the attacks. So that's information I've got
for you now seven away from Tenco, I've going to
talk hitil midnight. Ah what does this say? Someone says
that key we save a change category been ringing up
all day? What does that mean? Ringing up? Where being touched? Welcome?

(01:09:38):
My name is Marcus, going to be you want to
talk on air? That's the plan eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nineteen nine to detext whatever's going on. The
we're there for it will keep you updated for stuff.
But yeah, oh by the way too, I had to
mention too today of freezing temperatures tonight it's autumnail and
also to today's the anniversary of the edgecom quake nineteen

(01:09:59):
eighty seven six point five at Free Shallow was a
whopping thump. I don't think any one was killed, but
a lot of people in that part of the country
will remember it because it was It was a big
ish deal. So yeah, I don't know if you've that's
I just like to mention these things. Chris people, Oh yeah,
I remember that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:19):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
We we school closed or something. Funnily enough, there was
earthquakes preceding it for two weeks, which is weirdest on
the other way, so there's a swarm. Swarm of quakes
started the twenty month of February twenty first form Muketu
and they went on and on and on. But they
were the preruptures. That's weird, isn't it. So there was
sort of ruptures and faults and all sorts of stuff.

(01:10:42):
What's always interesting, there's always quakes. They always say, oh,
that's right, there's new fault lines. We didn't know about
twenty five people suffered injuries that needed medical attention. No
one was killed, says the four shocks seven minutes before
the main shock had cut the power supply and many
people had moved away from heavy machinery out of buildings
that then collapsed in the main earthquakes, so it was

(01:11:05):
it was for children. The power did go off because
it'd moved away from that machinery. There was a DC
locomotive toppled over, and the railway tracks were famously bent
and buckled. You could almost see the movement of the
plates and you could see that kind of illustrated by
the railway iron and way that had been distorted, so

(01:11:27):
as it was this day in nineteen eighty seven, three
thirty thirty nine years ago. So that's the situation there.
Greetings could even welcome on him as Marcus, Welcome to
the Monday Free for all seven past ten lines. Freet
want to get involved, I wasn't worseure if peop wanted
to talk about the war or not. Today. Yeah, I
can't really quite tell. I think people are still trying

(01:11:49):
to get a handle on it to work out which
way they're going to go with that one. So yeah,
you might want to comment. But there's certainly other topics
out there. We are talking about school camps to tonight
and the edgecomb earthquake and bitcoin and gold h the
safer investment. We're also talking about oh, too many things.

(01:12:10):
Actually we want to partake. Feel free to have your say. People.
Someone said the Chada in Norway suggest the peace prize
for Trump has gone out the window. No kidding, Marcus.
Only multi billionaires agree on war. There are no winners,
only a continual feeling of global unrest. Perhapsist Wall will
recalibrate the Western economy. Laurience, Marcus, welcome, good.

Speaker 9 (01:12:33):
Evening, Hi Marcus. Yes, it's good to see some of
those targeting shots as the old line up their things
before they fire the rockets.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
And do you think do you think they do you
think they put that on on post?

Speaker 19 (01:12:48):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (01:12:49):
I think and have a look at Fox occasy, but
I might need to see that the some of the
ones of the they reckon. He sank nine of the
navy ships and they're going after the rest of them.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Who sung? Who sung? Whose ships?

Speaker 9 (01:13:05):
Themericans have sunk nine ships of the Iran's navy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
I don't know Iran had a navy.

Speaker 9 (01:13:13):
Yeah, well yeah, they had reagionable navy, sort of the big.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Countries and a hundred million people. It's big.

Speaker 9 (01:13:20):
Oh yeah, I think they've got to hit a few
number number of submarines in that as well, but he
said he's already put nine of the nine of the
major ones already on the bottom, and he was going
after the rest of them. But how you know, earlier
on you're talking about the old magnetic alays and you

(01:13:41):
never mentioned Marry Deaker.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Well, I think I think professional ethics has prefided me
from mentioning that, because certainly there's for a while there
that his show was very much.

Speaker 6 (01:13:54):
It was.

Speaker 9 (01:13:55):
It was ended around it. It was very much.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
It went from comments on because the thing was he
did his own ends, didn't he. So he'd talk and
talk and talk about them, and then and then he'd
go and talk about the America's Cup, then to the underlays.

Speaker 9 (01:14:07):
Yeah here, and he was presenting them to all sorts
of sportsmen around the place who were giving him unsolicited testimonials.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
Yeah. Oh no.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
It was a big that's a big thing. It was
probably a radio success story too, the power of advertising
end endorsement.

Speaker 9 (01:14:23):
Well, we were one. We bought one of the ones
put on the matress, you know, one of there were
line ones, and so we've been aligned magnetically.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Are you still aligned magnetically?

Speaker 9 (01:14:32):
Yes, that's pretty much.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
Yeah, Because there was also magn that you'd wear for
sea sickness. Weren't there remember those you'd put a little
magnet around your wrist.

Speaker 9 (01:14:41):
Yeah, I know I was. There were some other sea
sick depictures which actually they released a slow chemical as
well on your wrist behind your ear too.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Oh yes, I know that. I thought the magnet wasn't
going to be I'll tell you something that's always surprised me, Laurie,
And I don't know how you feel about this. Once
upon a time I went to the t Y aluminium smelter,
right yep, for two I have a look around. And
as I went there, to show me how much magnetism

(01:15:14):
was there because of the power of the of the
amount of power going into that place, they handed me
a metal piece of chain and the chain links were
about two inch long, so a weighty bit of chain
and you held that in your hand and it went horizontal.
That's how much magnetism is in there from the current

(01:15:35):
going into that place.

Speaker 9 (01:15:36):
Oh oh okay, yeah, I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Want to work there. I was surprised. That's wow, what
a force field. But they all seem fine working in
that magnetism.

Speaker 9 (01:15:44):
Yeah, well, you wouldn't want to have a pacemaker and
they no, you can't.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
I don't think. I think they're very vigilant about what
you can have in there.

Speaker 9 (01:15:51):
Yeah, yea touching on the inch commercequake. Also, I just
remember there was the details. You know, there was a
great photos of the Ryhway lines and being distorted. But
I know there was some survey guys from I think
from Land and Survey was in existence then, but a

(01:16:12):
whole lot of the drains started flying the other direction,
you know, it's billy low lying parts of that and
changed the sort of whole flower of things. But it
also Lands and Survey Department finished in April nineteen eighty seven,
so there was a making.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
It was a Swan song.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
But they they then converted into what they called the
Dodsley or Department of Survey and Land Information, and then
they shared That's when DOC started, you know, like.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
What was DOCTOR, what was dock out remaineing was DOC
lands and what was Doctor.

Speaker 9 (01:16:48):
The dock was part of Land and Survey or Minister.
There was land you know, there was National Partner Ranges
and scene that all the administration was done by Lands
and Survey and the same with all the Land Corps
also got formed out of land and survey as well,
so that sort of divulged in three directions here. But yeah,

(01:17:12):
so that was quite a major shakeup.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Had to shake up. I'm going to run Lurie a bit.
Nice to talk to you. Thank you, Peter, it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:17:20):
Good evening, good morning, a good evening. I feel three
for the people who are other stranded than somewhere in
the world or in the Middle East with flights, and
it's not an easy place to get an alternative flight
when the airspace is closed, and that might be close.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
I don't know if we said how long the air
space will be closed for, it might be closed for
a while.

Speaker 10 (01:17:40):
Well, listening to these people who comment and predicted war
in the Middle East, they thought that I run with
the straits of the mass. For example, if you're a
Chinese tanker, you're allowed to fail through allegedly and if
you don't follow orders as in trying to the rest

(01:18:01):
deliver field to a Western nation and told not to go,
and you go. I think one oil tanker got sunk
on that basis. But New Zealand stand not condemning a
country that doesn't suck to international law could actually cost us.
I think we've got is it thirty or sixty days
fuel supply, and I think Japan has about two hundred

(01:18:23):
and forty days and China I think has about twelve
months storage for their fuel. So you know, you're as
strong as your weakest lenk basically, and I don't think
you know, anything's going to change. And what would stop
the war, Well, Iran's been understansioned for years, so I

(01:18:43):
think all the sanction would have to go, and I
think Israel and the US would have to recognize Palestine
because Palestine is in the constitution of Iran. And the
religious leaders they took out was the one who was
opposed to having nuclear weapons, nuclear bombs or whatever. So

(01:19:05):
the new one that they might be in favor, who knows.
You just don't know. But you know, the thing is
that these Middle other, you know, countries in the Middle East,
like the tar bah Rain Ua, they're not democracies. They
have sort of royal families and their borders were sort
of done by the British. So I just don't see

(01:19:29):
anything sort of happening because a lot of people just
agree with the US and they've said, you know, Iran
has said if you help supply the US with bases
or airspace, and they attack Iran will be considered you
an enemy, so and they might declare war on Iran,

(01:19:50):
which means Iran will take out not just US Bass,
but these countries that want to take them on. And
they have all these underground tunnels and they've got some
people think thirty thousand missiles, and you know, it could
last six months because with the fuel exercise, it's not

(01:20:13):
going to hit immediately, but over time, if you can't
get fuel through that victim cent of world supply comes
through there apparently, so China still gets it. You know,
where does that leave Western countries like Europe? You know
they might be a bit cold, whereas America has you know,
they're not really worried because they have their quite a

(01:20:34):
lot of their own supply. So are you worried about
not having fuel for your can't.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Not immediately? But I think that I think the talk
about a four week situation that Trump's talked about this
sounds more like four years to me. This is going
to be a very long winded thing. It's going to
escalate and escalat, and escalator would have mentioned, yes, I
would imagine that that it makes any plans to embark

(01:21:01):
on solar would be very sensible. There's not much solar
power going through the Straits of him Moves, and not.

Speaker 10 (01:21:07):
Much when it rains either in cloudy. But I think, well,
on a good day.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Well, as long as you've got batteries, you know, that
seems to be where the smart countries are pivoting to.
But yeah, I'll be curious. I'll be curious to know
what happens with that, Peter. But thank you for that.
Nice to talk. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
to nine seventeen past ten. Hearing a lot about the
Straits of Horn Moves. Marcus. I was in the fifth

(01:21:38):
form science at Edgecombe College when the earthquake occurred. Hitched
a lift with a neighbor's father four by four to
get home. We actually drove through the fault on Teteco
Edgecombe Road. What's interesting reading about the Wikipedia is it
was there were quakes that foretold about the coming quake.
So we are talking about the Edgecomb quake, not the

(01:22:00):
country's most famous quake, but certainly in the eighties there
weren't many quakes. There was the Nunga Hill Are quake
in the sixties, and then there was nothing that I
can remember until the Edgecomb one, and there's nothing much
at all until of course the have I missed any
I don't think I have. I think it's it's interesting
that New Zealand has long periods of what seemed to

(01:22:20):
be quietness or settledness between quakes. The Murchison quake and
hung A who were quake, Edgecomb quake, and the christ
Church quake obviously was the napier one, but they would
be the big ones for this year, so they you know,
quite quite spaced apart. Don't know what I should And

(01:22:41):
of course there was the Kakuta quake that's happened subsequently
since the christ Chiuch one. I'll keep you on there
with news to or anything I've got from the situation
with Iran. Iran has formed a leadership council. I mean
obviously they've expected this and they had places with the
three People to un the theocracy. The latest news out

(01:23:03):
as one person was killed and two others seriously injured
after every from interceptive bissile sparked a fire on a
foreign missile and bar ranged Salman industrial City. The fire
is under control and extinguished, but you might have thoughts
on the long term impact of this. There might be

(01:23:24):
future oil shocks, it might be Carlos days. I can't
imagine it's going to be great news for Air New Zealand,
so dependent on oil. Don't know what their shares did today,
but much talk about them pulling out of the regions.
I haven't seen anything with that happening. But you know,
one's feeling free. Possible a news him at the moment?
Are they which worries me? With those flights to Invercargol?

(01:23:47):
Get in touch you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty lines are free, All the lines
are free. Very much a Monday free for all tonight.
You want to get some serious stuff and some not
so serious stuff. But whatever you want to go on
about tonight, be nice to hear from you. I've surprised
to hear people have rung up and change their key
we savor funds today to a more conservative one. I

(01:24:08):
would have suspected that would be the worst thing to do.
They're talking about locking in the losses. I guess it
depends on when your retirement window is two So yeah,
I'd defer to others, but I always thought that Mary
Home a hole. I don't know how her surname is pronounced,
but all her she seems to have been the person
that's taken a long and independent look at Kiwi saver

(01:24:31):
and want to do with Kei we save fund managers.
By the way, the IAEA, the international what am I
on with that one? The International Atomic what's that stand for?

Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
International Atomic Energy Agency says there are no signs that
Iran's nuclear sites have been hit, but they cannot reach
Iran's nuclear authorities for updates. So of course too, they
had the situation too where we had ongoing well do

(01:25:07):
we need to go back in history and talk about
what Trump did in his first time that he pulled
out of that accord? That was a situation. They knew
what Iran was doing. But then there was the attacks
that obliterated their nuclear uranium production mill that they talked about,
and they got very iffy when they said how much

(01:25:29):
damage has done both Hesketh and Trump. But then we've
talked about this and they needed to actually stop Iran
because they're very close to producing nuclear warheads. So some
of it doesn't ring true, but it's a bit too
late for that now. Isn't it. So the situation is
that it seems to be a growing conflict. Evening Marcus,

(01:25:52):
there was the two thousand and seven earthquake in Gisbon.
I don't remember that one. Supers creepers. Trump has been
someone else's texted through. Trump has been consistent with getting
out of war and avoiding war. He has a track
record of surgical strikes achieving clear and achievable aims. This

(01:26:15):
may well be over before the four weeks, he says.
I doubt there will be boots from America, but they
will be supporting the Crown Prince. All they are doing
is removing the technological and administrative advantage of their regime
so the Iranians themselves can take over. I don't know
if there's many cases of democracy that has sprung up

(01:26:40):
from a foreign country bombing another country. I think, if anything,
probably regimes get worse. I just can't and I've thought
a lot about this in the fast plast forty eight hours.
I just can't see how that will happen, how a
well organized group will emerge, and I don't know where

(01:27:01):
it's happened. If you go through some of the recent conflicts,
I think probably historians themselves have been thinking about this
and asking this. You know, it seems to me to
be a pipe dream. But we will know in four weeks,
won't we. And of course some of those other conflicts
like I Raq was going to be over in four
weeks or less than that. Afghanis down twenty years, arak
ten years, maybe even longer. But yep, we don't know.

(01:27:26):
We don't know what's going to happen. But history gets
written further down the track, I would imagine. But do
come through if you want to talk on air tonight
about this, or also talking about school camps and Magnus
sleep blankets that you're slept on. You don't want to
hear a lot about the wool underlays anymore, do you.
I think people have gone more to cluster puffs. Don't

(01:27:47):
know why. Of course, the wolf things were fairly heavy
to get them out and give them a beating every
so often. They kind of cumbersome things to use, weren't they.
There weren't things you could flip. The wall was just
on one side, wasn't it. So you might want to
mention about that as well. And I will keep you
updated with anything that happened to the Middle least too,
because the fearbit going on and people are concerned about
the price of oil, and people are concerned about key

(01:28:11):
we savor and investments, which seems self centered but also
is probably a fairly real concern for people, particularly the
cost of living crisis that's not going to go away
anytime soon. Edit's Marcus, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:28:24):
How are you this evening?

Speaker 6 (01:28:25):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Thank you?

Speaker 11 (01:28:26):
Ed Mircaus is wondering informing or Trump?

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
It's sorry, can you something? As soon as you've come
on here, your phone has just gone bad? Are you
on speaker?

Speaker 17 (01:28:42):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:28:43):
Not, because I remember once you talked?

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Not Could you go back to do what you're doing
when you're talking to Dan and how you're talking? Then
face that right way?

Speaker 11 (01:28:52):
Okay, be better, a little bit better.

Speaker 3 (01:28:55):
Let's see how we go okay.

Speaker 11 (01:28:57):
AnyWho January hegorically did that he would eat between Ukraine Russia,
but that and he would the situation postine. Yeah, I
think can you.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
Can you move? Are you on a on a cell phone?

Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
That's better. Now let's see how we go there, Marcus. Yeah,
that's marginally better. So I think you said that he
had finished the Europine War overnight in one day.

Speaker 8 (01:29:31):
Then.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
I think he said that with plane in cheek, right,
he said that was a joke.

Speaker 11 (01:29:35):
Yes, but he also started this current situation with Iran.
America has over five thousand nuclear warheads. He's talking about
a country that supposedly wants to start making them. They

(01:29:56):
actually created any catastrophic worldwide, I don't think so. It
seems to be a power struggle about oil, not really
about three people. They've done a something with the country
and South a few weeks back where when you get

(01:30:17):
that consident. Now, I think it was well.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
I think he was surprised how well that went. Actually,
I think that's probably given him the motivation for this.
But yeah, I'm going to move on here because your
phone line's terrible. But maybe Yeah, I think people have
picked up what you've said and thank you for that. Yeah,
people have said the value today. What a cluster puffer is.
I think cluster puffs are quite famous things. I think
they have actually kind of probably taken over from the

(01:30:43):
Wall West because they sort of are lighter and makes
you feel like you are sleeping on something quite I
don't know what it is that's sort of sort of
puffy squeeze anyway, I thought people knew what those are,
but there you go. If you haven't known what they are,
they're probably worth buying one. They're always for sale at Briscoes.
Like to they've got a sale which is not long
because they've sales all the time. But get in touch

(01:31:03):
of you on a partakes about school camps and coin
and gold as investments in tough times, and also two
magnetic underlay things for beneath your sheets. By the way,
there's a cold snap coming up the country. It's six
degrees in Wellington, so very very cold. And someone said,
quite rightly, isn't it amazing the first day of autumn?

(01:31:25):
Suddenly the weather feels like autumn. There might be perception,
but certainly today's feel autumnal, isn't it? And some are
just to see what their temperatures in Willington now it's
quite cold, single figures right around the country. My bluff
seems to be more about ten now, but yeah, there
you go, so one of it seems to be about
ten now, cold and ham with three degrees a bit

(01:31:46):
warmer down the south. But yes, if you want to
be in touch with anything else, you want to mention tonight.
If there's other topics. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine to two to text, keep
those emails coming through, Keep those texts coming through. I've
already had a nostrodamis predicted text. I'm not quite sure
what they're predicted because we don't quite know what this
is yet. Situation in her arm, because I'm sure this

(01:32:08):
could become this could escalate in all sorts of ways.
The other thing, too is Split Ends have announced that
they will be doing an Auckland and Wellington show. Been
around since nineteen seventy three, so it's pretty remarkable. I
wonder why they haven't done it before now I haven't

(01:32:29):
quite worked out the A. No doubt there'll be a
documentary explaining why they've got together and why they've got
together now. Last live concert news Enna was in two
thousand and eight. Were apart from the other weekend. So
your tickets on sale tomorrow pre sales. So yeah, some
of you want to go to that. You might have
been to see them at Electric Avenue. You might want
to talk about how keen you are to go and
see them. I wouldn't have seen them since Sweetwater's in

(01:32:51):
about nineteen eighty four. Eighty three eighty two. One of them,
why don't We be a very good It was their
parents were there and they had them on the side
of the stage. If my memory is not great, but
I think that was something that happened. So you might
even have some split end memories that you want to
go on about. You want, And I spent some time
thinking in the weekend about spit ends. So they came

(01:33:14):
out and they had this sort of flash club, the
colorful suits, and they played all their songs and their hits,
and they'll probably be playing for a while because I
go back to Australia even know they might want to
go into a northern hemisphere to it. You wonder, if
you're a band that comes back like that, they've been
around for forty five years, would you want to get

(01:33:35):
together and write some new songs or is there something
that prevents you performing the new songs because the audience
don't want to hear them. Yeah, I'm kind of curious
to know about that. Marcus Trump is a murder and thinking,
here's the watch dog of the world. This behavior will
come back to bite him. A quarter of American support this,
I think it's a fifth, isn't it as breaking the

(01:33:55):
district code of ethics on what he is most certainly
create a catastrophe. The sooner he goes, the better, God
help us. Let's attack on Iran will be the beginning
of World War three, Marcus, people who have pastmakers, I
will not to use magnetic underlays or magnetic nine tags.
Fair enough, you'll be get pretty careful with magnets. Hello, Harmony,

(01:34:17):
it's Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:34:20):
Yeah, I get accused of having Trump derangement syndrome several
times a day, and I hope.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
To stay off social media and don't buy into it,
Harmony that I say.

Speaker 20 (01:34:29):
Anyone who doesn't have Trump derangement syndrome is just not
paying attention. That's where I see it. But before I
talk about Iran, I wanted to talk about the shingles
vaccine because I was supposed to actually get my vaccine tomorrow,
and then I found out they want basically eight or
nine hundred dollars to really unless you're sixty five years

(01:34:52):
old exactly, you know, you've got one year to get
it for free, and everybody else outside of that window
of opportunity it costs like eight or nine hundred dollars,
and I'm thinking, you know, the most vulnerable people are
the people who are over sixty five and they've had
chicken pox. And I'm in that group, and.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
I think most I think most people would have chicken pox,
have had chicken pox, wouldn't they?

Speaker 20 (01:35:15):
Yeah, I think so, so, yeah, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
I don't know much about the shingles. Say, do you
get it once at sixty five and it last two
for a number of years, so you've got to get
it annually?

Speaker 20 (01:35:24):
No, it's two, it's two doses. I think it's I
think I think it's supposed to be permanent.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
You know, I didn't know that, but.

Speaker 20 (01:35:33):
We should find out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
We should find out about that, because that's because you
probably would have got that if you'd known at the time.

Speaker 20 (01:35:41):
That's right. Well, I went in and I couldn't get
it at the time. It was a different vaccine. This
is a new one that they've just they've just brought
on the market. But I just think it, you know,
make it make sense why only one, one particular group
of people is able to get it?

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
How old are you? How many?

Speaker 20 (01:35:59):
I'm seventy five, okay, nineteen fifty. I'm just a couple
of months younger than Helen Clark. Okay, and I just
a couple of months younger than Tony Amos. Too old, mate,
But yeah, I want to talk about this, what's been
going on in Iran. And I remember the quote from

(01:36:22):
I think it's Isculus, was the Greek philosopher said that
the first casualty of war is the truth. And and
looking at this these Iran negotiations over the last month
or so, and how from what I've read that that

(01:36:42):
Iran had actually agreed to the terms.

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
Yeah, that seems to be the hit of the hit
of one of the Middle East countries. Was there and
even gone to the media saying how wells how well
the discussions.

Speaker 20 (01:36:54):
Were going, and then he went ahead and bombed anyway.
But you know, I mean there's a lot of speculation
on exactly why he would have gone through something like this.
But in course you were talking about the nuclear deal
that Obama had made. Trump had ripped that one up.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
And that was that seemed to be going. Once you've
got discussion diplomacy, you can do all sorts of things,
can you. I mean, that's the thing. Once you've got dialogues,
that's what the plimacy is about and and.

Speaker 20 (01:37:23):
They're just going on this might have right approach to
everything that they're doing right now, and I can't see
how the outcome is going to produce any of the
kind of results that they're talking about, you know, hoping
that they're going to get. And then you know, he
was saying that they were they were vombing Iran to
eliminate their nuclear capabilities, but last year he said he

(01:37:45):
had already obliterated them all. So was he lying then
or is he lying now? That's the whole thing, as
far as I'm concerned, And I just think that you
cannot trust anything that this man says about anything. You
can't trust it because he does no connection with fact
and reality and truth. So and i'd be came aware

(01:38:06):
of Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
But what but go ahead what you're saying, But you
can't trust someone and you can't. But that's the reality
we're living with, isn't it. I mean, I know it's
saying no one trusts him, that he's been in this
position where he's an effective enough politician to have yahoo

(01:38:34):
to have done this, and he'll be happy, he'll be
back and he'll stay in power. I mean, it's extraordinary.

Speaker 20 (01:38:41):
Well, it's all a hoax.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:38:43):
Everything that he accuses of the people of doing is
what he's doing. And it's the old playbook, it's the
you know, psychological projection. Every accusation is a confession.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
How do you feel about it, because it must have
been years that you've sort of been that you've got
your what's your syndrome?

Speaker 20 (01:38:58):
Trump derange syndrome.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
I mean there haven't been there have been many wins
for you have the harmony. I mean it's gone on
for a long time. It's gone on for team and
I must have been and you'll see me five. You
deserve to be free of it.

Speaker 20 (01:39:11):
For decades, for decades. My my family was involved in
Atlantic City back in the eighties. My dad was a
major shareholder in an airline that serviced the junkets flying
in there to these casinos that he bankrupted, and all
the people, all the contractors that he ripped off, you know,
people that lost their businesses. Some of them lost their lives,

(01:39:34):
you know, because of all the lives that he told
and he walked away with a pocket full of cash
and and lift all these people in the lurch.

Speaker 4 (01:39:43):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:39:43):
Don the Khan, my cousins grew up in New York
City and they knew about him then, you know, all
the crazy stuff he was doing then, and how anybody
but he's you know, he's just the consummate con man
as far as I'm concerned, Can I just can.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
I just and look, it's nice to talk to you.
How many can I just say before I do go?
Because I want to I don't know how much we
can talk better around night, because I just I mean,
I'm angry that people just feel that they are just
so powerless about the whole thing, because you know, then,
I don't think our prominise has spoke with any kind
of conviction or didn't even seem to be across the facts.

(01:40:20):
Today it was. It was a woeful performance by Luxon.
I mean, I don't even know if that was his
tactic to prevaricate and sound so so misinformed. But anyway,
I just want to say, Harmony, that I with the family,
we spent some time and you're part of the country
over summer, and man, boy, was that fantastic?

Speaker 20 (01:40:38):
Oh well, Colin next time, Well we didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
But but it's not in my nature. But gee, what
a piece of even beyond target are up there. Just
a lot of people there. It seems a lot of
people are visiting. But gee, it was good.

Speaker 20 (01:40:51):
M Yeah, I don't go anywhere these days?

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
Why not?

Speaker 6 (01:40:56):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:40:57):
Right? Why by it?

Speaker 3 (01:40:58):
I love it here, I mean, but you must go around.
You don't leave your property.

Speaker 20 (01:41:03):
Oh well, I'm I going to town a few times
a week. It's about it. I have been busking at
the markets for quite a few years, but I'm I'm
going to take a break for a while.

Speaker 8 (01:41:12):
From that.

Speaker 20 (01:41:13):
I'm actually trying to develop my space into like a
summer camp for musicians really a little bit. Yeah, my
long term that's my long term dream.

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
Well, watch your Trump arrangement syndrome and say i'd stay
off social media. Okay, nice to talk, Thank you, Harmony.
Seventeen away from eleven o'clock and you've got to be
a part of it. Eight hundred and eighty eighty. Got
a lot of good information too about the blood moon tomorrow.
It looks like it is quite a big deal tomorrow,
So just letting you know. The rare blood moon total

(01:41:43):
lunar eclipse to loom over North America and Australia and
New Zealand. North America Australian News it will be traged
to a rare total lunar eclipse on Tuesday, known as
a blood moon. As the full moon dips into the
planet's shadow, it will change color to a deep and
coppery red. Will be the last time people will get
to see this list you phenomenon for near three years now.

(01:42:05):
A lunar cip eclipse occurs when the earths line up
between the Earth lines up between the Moon and the Sun.
The Sun's light is blocked, casting a shadow onto the Moon,
but in some eclipses, sunlight reaches the Moon indirectly, daubing
the Moon in a sunset palate. I'm not quite sure
what circumstances need to happen for it to be a

(01:42:26):
blood moon. Must be to do with I don't know
what it's to do with. So any light that goes
does pass, shines through atmosphere and transform the lunar's surface
into a deep, coppery red. So yeah, it's going to
be good. For the best experience, they suggest finding a
dark location away from the city and allowing ten to

(01:42:47):
fifteen minutes for your eyes to adjust. Jupiter will also
be visible high in the sky, making what Allen calls
a great pairing. So in New Zealand and New Zealand
the eclipse will reach its deepest point shortly after midnight,
when the moon is high in the sky. It will
be visible. If we're in the country, everyone who can

(01:43:08):
see the moon will see the eclipse. So there you go.
It's something to look forward to. They occur every eighteen
months to three years, and next one I'll be in
New Year's Eve twenty twenty eight. Exciting time for it,
fourteen away from eleven o'clock. If you want to come through,
my name is Marcus Hador twelve o'clock vaccine. Hi Tracy,

(01:43:28):
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:43:30):
Yeah, Hi MICUs.

Speaker 21 (01:43:32):
I'm still good in my head that this isn't a war.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
It's not a war.

Speaker 21 (01:43:37):
It's I still believe that it's Trump using the American
Army and the missiles and all their bunker bombs. Right
they're doing all that. It's mining. They are mining for
Iran right around pays them.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Now.

Speaker 21 (01:43:57):
Woman Trump is bragging about how much money they've got. Now,
where's this money coming from?

Speaker 3 (01:44:03):
Don't much that, hey, Tracy, Just when you say he's
doing their mind for them, can you just dig into
that little bit. I don't quite understand what that is.

Speaker 21 (01:44:11):
Okay, So so we know now that we need lithium
and all sorts of southern minerals, right, because we've progressed
so quickly. Right, So if America goes over there, drops
the bombs for them right now, These bunker buster bombs,
they go way deeper than any other bombs did. So

(01:44:32):
he's in there, he's dropping them for them in the
guise of war, right, because I don't think the Americans
really want their takes money spent like that, right, They'll
just keep doing it. It's going to be a big one, right,
but that will only be for mining, guaranteed.

Speaker 9 (01:44:49):
Does it?

Speaker 3 (01:44:49):
Does it run have much lithium?

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
Obviously?

Speaker 21 (01:44:52):
And us they'll have more than just lithium.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
It's got the world.

Speaker 10 (01:44:56):
There'll be more, There'll be other minerals.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
It's got the world's second highest reserves of lithium.

Speaker 9 (01:45:02):
There you go see anything that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
I think what you say is crazy, but I think
probably when you look at lithium when I don't think
they I don't think that I don't think they're underhanded
mining it for them by dropping bombs on them, But
I think probably.

Speaker 10 (01:45:17):
Why not it's infrastructure.

Speaker 21 (01:45:19):
It saves a lot of infrastructure. You just look at
the old ways of mining, there was a huge amount
of infrastructure needed. If you've now got bombs that are
going to break, I don't do what I don't do.

Speaker 3 (01:45:32):
I don't think in countries that the American has agreements
with their their mining lithium. By bombing for it, I
think there would be an effective way to mine. Otherwise
you'd be bombing for golden all sorts of stuff, wouldn't you.

Speaker 21 (01:45:43):
Exactly in Gold's eight thousand dollars an ounce another good reason.
I mean, it's really and any infrastructure they hit will
be old infrastructure that they're hitting with bombs, any old
any ships they get, they'd be ones they want to
get rid of. Yeah, they're not going to be top notch,
not their best. I'm sorry, I just strange feel it's

(01:46:07):
the war. I feel that it's it's surmining.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
You've got any thoughts on the shingle You've got any
thoughts on the shingles vaccine?

Speaker 21 (01:46:16):
Oh I'm not sixty five yet.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
Okay, there we go. Came close to Cemit anyway, seven
away from eleven. If you want to talk man him
as Marcus. Welcome Marcus vaccine for shingles when it was
free in my seventies, then got ice, shingles took eighty
months recovery of complications. Having one year only sixty five
to get it free is not accept It's a dreadful condition,
should be free for over sixty five. It must be
a free, expensive vaccine. There'll be my take on it, Marcus.

(01:46:41):
Negotiations with Iran may have been going well, but the
Epstein noose was tightening around Trump's neck. Thank you for that.
Do get in touch you on a talk. What texts
coming through? Look forward to those as I say, Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
to text eight from eleven, Ginny, it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:46:56):
Good evening, good evening, Marcus, good things.

Speaker 22 (01:47:00):
Ginny, Oh that's good. Now you're talking about the single
specs fromotion. Yes, anybody sixty five can go and get
it for nothing. But I'm the wee bit older than
that on the seventies, and I queried about it getting
it done. I've had the single snots or probably about
eight years ago, and I said to them what does

(01:47:22):
it cost? And I said sit there? And I sat
there and write it's eight hundred dollars for two injections.
Now it was no laughing man, but I said, it
just just about fooled me. I said, no, I think
I'll leave it alone, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:47:40):
You know, does it say how long it lasts?

Speaker 22 (01:47:43):
I don't know. I turned out, but I had I
had singles a few years ago. And I turned around
and I said to my daughter. We went to the
bars and went back with dogg and she said to me,
when you go to the doctor, said, I got this
cheap it there. I look at it and I said
to him, I've got to keep it on the back

(01:48:03):
of my on my back, and I haven't got the
hip of a husband. Think he's passed away. And he
had a look at it and he said to me,
what have you been doing this morning? I said, we've
been back with jogging them at the Pole's flash tell
us and he said, well, he said you're going to

(01:48:24):
work today and I said yes, I worked to check
out operator the local supermarket. And he said to me, no,
you're not, and I said, boy, he said, he said,
you've got shingles. But it was the pain afterwards that
got met. And after it was over and there was
nothing there, but it was so sore of the nerves

(01:48:45):
on the back. It was right round by my waist
in my back and it was just excruciating after it
was over and done, but there was nothing there, but
you could still feel it, and it really was. Anybody
that under six it would get the sixty five and
want the vaccidation, go and get it done, because it
might be better than having what I have, the old.

Speaker 3 (01:49:08):
Mix and mingles. Ginny, thank you so much for that. Gosh,
financial advice, medical advice, the water cooler. Kernel's yeah, although
we haven't heard the hawks so much today, but ye
suspected to go back quite quickly the situation of the
Middle East, but you never know a bit of I
told you so, whitis. But let's just wait and see.

(01:49:29):
But if you do, what a comment in the next hour,
I feel free to come through. Oh, good evening, people, welcome,
How are you? I hope you're good? At seven past eleven.
Roman will be along at midnight tonight. I'm here until then.
Mainly I sort of been. I feel my role is
so sort of keep you up there with what's going
around the world and your comments on that too. But
it's a it's a funny sime A Monday, because a

(01:49:50):
lot of it. There's a lot to talk about. I'm
not quite sure what people need to say about it,
but anyway, if you want to talk, get in touch
here till midnight, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
Also talking in school camps and bitcoin and gold and
the fact that the price of fuel's going to go up,
and well you think that this is going to do
long term for New Zealand. We're also talking about shingles,

(01:50:17):
so if you want to talk about that. Also a
lot of texts about shingles. Marcus age seventy three just
had first of two shingle shots. Day three. Fifty dollars
got to be better than having shingles. Marcus Trump has
two reasons one Epstein cover up. Two put in place
Iran government will supply cheap lithium. Yes, I was curious
to read about lithium. In fact, let me do a

(01:50:38):
bit of a google where the countries with the most lithium.
By the way too, I could see I could see
that for those of you in Southland, I see they
are opening up a big gold mine just north of Gore.
As you turn around and go towards Tapanui. And I

(01:50:59):
remember when I first moved to Southend in ninety. In
two thousand and one, there was the remnants of a
farm that looked that was at old. Might have had
a dreach there. Anyway, they're going back in there. They're
going down forty to sixty meters. It's going to make
fifty million a year or something. So, yeah, there's gold fever.
I'm just looking at who's got the most lithium? Which

(01:51:22):
countries produced?

Speaker 4 (01:51:23):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
Oh yeah, they do say Iran, but that's not what
my googling's telling me. Countries with biggest lithium reserves. How
would you know an issue out there? Looking No, one's
saying Iran, but you never know, and there might be
some other Chile, Australia, Argentina, China. Anyway, I bet the

(01:51:48):
text about about shingles. It's been blowing. It's been blowing
a gale all day at Hardward up with a re
cold southerly cheers, Tony, thank you, Tony. Yeah, Grant, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:52:02):
Hi, good evening, Mike's how are you?

Speaker 14 (01:52:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Good things? Grant? How are you going all right?

Speaker 4 (01:52:06):
Are you not see that I had I had that
shingles and it's like really nasty stuff. But I got
to quickly in Turmaraic garlic Poltices does the trick and
eats a piece of peeled garlic each night and for
about a week, and they should you should.

Speaker 2 (01:52:24):
Get in trouble.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
But the lady that was speaking before about uranium, lithium
and all that sort of stuff. In the South Island,
there's the world's cleanest uranium which we trade to Australia
for tyriannium, which is traded to some other country for

(01:52:46):
lithium for batteries. Aren't the ever reny factory people that
may ever ready you know, I don't know whether people
know that or not.

Speaker 3 (01:52:53):
But hang on because you're going into it of a modelogue.
Woes you sin in mind? Lithium?

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
No, the in Australia the lithium, right, we trade we
trade uranium for tyriannium to getum. So what are we
mining uranium from the from the West Coast to the
South Island as the cleanest uranium?

Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
As Blank said, I thought you said That's why I
was confused.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
So yeah, no, No, Australia has the lythium, which we
know we're turanium and we trade.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
Do say uranium mining is banned in New Zealand?

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, well they.

Speaker 3 (01:53:34):
Say that are we mining it? Are mining it? Aren't
we mining it?

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:53:39):
We're mining it on the secret because it's like it's
it's it's just one of those things that nobody really
needs to know about.

Speaker 3 (01:53:46):
Would it be easy to mind uranium in secret?

Speaker 4 (01:53:52):
Yeah, especially if you don't know where.

Speaker 3 (01:53:55):
They called it yellow cake what it's called, and they
did discover on the West coast. But we're not mining it.

Speaker 2 (01:54:01):
Well, we do trade it.

Speaker 4 (01:54:03):
We were on the secret in the dark and the secret. Yeah,
that's one of those things there, you know, like people
don't need to know about that. Cheap things happening might
come all sorts of things, you know, like all sorts
of things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's a it's a yeah,
it's you know, I discovered it whilst the Stockman mine.

(01:54:27):
That's by the Stockman mine on the top of the
boll of Gorge there and it's very well protected.

Speaker 3 (01:54:33):
But it's not you know, I don't think the stock
to minds at the top of the bull's up. But anyway,
I'm going to let you go grunt because I don't
think you're actually saying anything of any value, which is fine.
I like your tone. But Marcus, I got shingles five
years before I reach retirement age. I had to wait
one year before I get the vaccine. It cost seven
hundreds for the two injections. I had a further course

(01:54:54):
of three injections in age sixty five, six months apart.
As long as you have the first injection before you
turn sixty six, you can have the second one six
months later. I'd rebad nerve pain. I found shingles of
re worse thing that pain was worth having a baby.
Marcus I turned sixty five and May one, and it
coincided again the COVID vaccine, and with the uncertainty of

(01:55:16):
effects of having them both at the same time, I'd
have furd the shingles vaccination didn't bother to get it
while sixty five, and only found out it was the
only funded. Wellbeing sixty five, I'm generally healthy, so I
guess I will follow the anti vaccination idiots and take
my chances. Brilliant had the double shot shingles vaccination at
sixty five and just gotten over a dose of shingles
with heavy andy virals. So you can get it anyway, Marcus.

(01:55:38):
Till midnight, we are discussing lithium and bitcoin and school
camps and Trump and whether in fact New Zealand will
be sending troops to the Middle East. That will be
the next thing. It sounds like we might be well,
no one said that, but certainly sounds like we haven't
feemed me, been against or made comments on the legality

(01:56:00):
of this campaign. No, New Zealand does not mind Uranian
wildeposits would discover the Bull of gorgea West coast of
the nineteen fifties. They were low grade and never commercially viable.
Uranium prospecting and mining have been prohibited in its. It's
nineteen ninety six under the Crown Minerals Act. Yeah, no
surprise is there. But he got on. He tried his luck.

(01:56:25):
He says something that seemed preposterous to me. When they
start talking about what's on the down low and the
dark web, how high do you think guess will go
for a later people, the Brent Crude markashing was very
painful and take a long time to fully recover. Gary
Gary on the Old Mix and Mingles get in touched
you on a talk on night, anything goes for the

(01:56:45):
final hour. Your comments on the war in Iran?

Speaker 22 (01:56:48):
Do we call it a war?

Speaker 3 (01:56:49):
I guess it's a war to invade? Well, what is it?
I suppose it's a war. Yeah, I guess that's there.
And it seems to have spread because I think Israel
is talking about ground troops going into Lebanon. They have

(01:57:09):
said that the Natan's nucle facility was it during the years?
Is radio tacks, So that's happened. There are mass evacuations
of cities across the Middle East. Sorry, mass evacuations cities
across the Belase may be necessary if nuclear power stations
are attacked. The mass evacuations sis Belise may civil nuclear

(01:57:32):
power stations are attacked, leading to radiological release. I don't
know where they are. That's confusing to read about that.
So I hadn't thought about that people. This is interesting
food down the article. I didn't know that there was
nuclear power in the Middle East. I thought they were
so oil rich they wouldn't require it. But it says

(01:57:56):
they cannot rule out a possible radiological release with serious consequences.
The United Arab Emirates has four operating nuclear reactors, Jordan
and Syria have operational nuclear research reactors, and bah Rain
and rat Kuwait, among guitar in Saudi Arabia have also
been attacked. These countries all dose nuclear applications of some

(01:58:19):
sort of the other, so there is a nuclear concern there, Tristan,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:58:28):
I wish I could listen to you more, but it's
a bit late at night.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Fair enough, me too.

Speaker 6 (01:58:34):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just wondering if we, if we
all know enough about this, this whole debarcle to really
debated on the radio. All I've heard all day is
basically misinformation.

Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
I reckon. You're probably right, yeah, because it goes.

Speaker 6 (01:58:49):
Back a long way. You know, it comes down to sovereignty,
and we all like sovereignty, right, I'm sure we do.

Speaker 3 (01:58:56):
So, So what's your what's your point about the price
of oil?

Speaker 6 (01:59:00):
Well, it's going to get it's going to hit two
hundred a barrel if I've got all these hidden missiles
along the hall moves straight there, that's for sure, and
we're going to feel it. And yet again we pay
out of our pockets foreign foreign endeavors.

Speaker 3 (01:59:14):
So Risten, you said to do how much is price
of all a barrel?

Speaker 6 (01:59:18):
Now, well it's been around fifty to seventy dollars then
it's just heading seventy today.

Speaker 3 (01:59:24):
So you think, okay, you reckon, it's going to triple
in price.

Speaker 6 (01:59:29):
I think so. And here's a point to make while
we're talking about that.

Speaker 3 (01:59:33):
I come back to your point to make, just over
what time frame, over months or years.

Speaker 6 (01:59:37):
It depends how long the Iranians can survive. And they're
hidden underground bunkers basically, and there'll be plenty of them, okay,
And so they'll be popping out like funnel. We've spiders
and popping little missiles out into the Strait just to
shake up all the insurance companies. So the price of
oil is a funny thing though as well, because and
you know, it all started right back with a guy

(01:59:59):
called Mossadek who was a democratic leader of Iran, and
he's got a bit pissed off and stated the whole
population about how much they were getting for their oil
through the Anglo Iranian Oil Company. So they were getting
sixteen sixteen percent of the profits, whereas Saudi Arabia was
getting fifty to fifty. So what do you think they

(02:00:19):
should have done about that? What would you have done?

Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
What's your answer?

Speaker 6 (02:00:23):
Well, exactly what he did do. He nationalized the oil
industry and then he just got his country got completely
collapsed by the world financial powers, which is what happens
today with countries that don't fall into line. I mean,
I believe in sovereignty, and you know, company, they should
be getting a fair whack for their resources, right, you'd
agree with?

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
Actually, how so when's it going to triple in price?
That's I'm more concerned about.

Speaker 6 (02:00:47):
Yeah, I thought you might be. Well, I don't know.
I hopefully soon, because the longer they last the better
because they're really fighting the good fight. They've been attacked.
I legally, it's happening all the time now where the
baddies basically they don't fund, they fund resistance.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
Ends, particul vulnerable to price rises.

Speaker 6 (02:01:09):
Oh yeah, I mean, I don't know. If our politicians
are doing their job, which their only job is to
make sure our lives are running as nicely as they
can possibly make it, we'd be buying all the off Venezuela,
wouldn't we It's far cheaper, it's good quality.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
Pivoted away from.

Speaker 6 (02:01:27):
It, Well, we should be buying it off them because
I mean, all they're doing is trying to, you know,
run their country the way they want to sovereignty.

Speaker 3 (02:01:36):
Nice to talk, Kristen. Thank you for that. You took
it be twenty four past eleven. If you want to
be a part of the show, hitdle twelve Kevin, It's
Marcus Clevening and welcome.

Speaker 2 (02:01:45):
Hi Kevin home March. Does that me?

Speaker 8 (02:01:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:01:49):
If your name?

Speaker 20 (02:01:51):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 19 (02:01:52):
Sorry dude, I just put the phone down for a second.

Speaker 20 (02:01:55):
Hi.

Speaker 19 (02:01:56):
I just want to I just want to say one
or two things. Often watch Al Dazeera, right and all
that sort of stuff, and every day you get how
many people are killed by the Israelis and all that
sort of stuff. But I'm going to turn it round
and just ask people how many people from Israel are

(02:02:20):
killed by from Mars and all that sort of stuff
and never gets reported apart from you know, other things.

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
And also to them.

Speaker 3 (02:02:33):
Sorry, Kevin, I don't want to get into arguments, but
what is your point saying that the media is not
fear with who they report has been killed?

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (02:02:43):
Absolutely, okay, that's one side, absolutely one side of years.

Speaker 3 (02:02:48):
But Kevin, what's that got to do with the discussion
about what happens in the last forty eight hours. I mean,
there's all gonna not everything's going to be always given,
you know.

Speaker 19 (02:02:59):
I mean, but everyone keeps blaming that the Israelis or
the Miracs. I just think that there are I've lived
over there.

Speaker 3 (02:03:08):
And sorry, Kevin, when you say over there, you've mentioned
Israel and America. Where are you talking about where you
have lived.

Speaker 19 (02:03:17):
I've worked in Israel and I've also worked in Harari
in Zimbabwe. No, no, no, I've just gives the teacher.
I'm a teacher, Okay, I talked English and stuff. I'm
just getting tired and tired and tired of people just
they're always knocking the States or Israel there for trying

(02:03:40):
to do things, and that ken.

Speaker 17 (02:03:44):
Given.

Speaker 3 (02:03:45):
No one tonight's really mentioned Israel. Most people have just
been discussed. In fact, people haven't had.

Speaker 19 (02:03:49):
A huge amount of I've only just tuned in.

Speaker 3 (02:03:53):
They've only tuned and you're talking about what people have said.

Speaker 19 (02:03:57):
I've hit of the last two or three days, that's all.
And you just get tired of people just knocking. I
just get tired of people knocking Israel.

Speaker 2 (02:04:05):
Get tired.

Speaker 19 (02:04:06):
We've been talking.

Speaker 3 (02:04:07):
About the shink. We've been talking about the shingles vaccine.

Speaker 19 (02:04:09):
Kevin, Oh, I've just had that.

Speaker 2 (02:04:12):
Used to that.

Speaker 5 (02:04:12):
OHI elch yo, thank you my age.

Speaker 19 (02:04:15):
Yes, I've just had one.

Speaker 3 (02:04:16):
So yao, Okay, let you go, keV. Pip cheapers get in.
Touched by name is Marcus Welcome head at twelve o'clock. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty eight nine nine to detective. You've
gotnything to add tonight. But yeah, I thought people have
been remarkable be reasonable in their discussions and comments tonight.
I haven't had the hawks or the water cooler kernels

(02:04:43):
or the people that really want to talk about and
often when there's a situation where the conflict there's a
lot of people that are very gung ho about it.
But yeah, I think people have been quite measured. I've
got the said today and yeah, I mean, you've got
to go back and look at the history between American
and Iran. It goes back a fair while. You read
back to nineteen fifty three to feely intertwined stree there

(02:05:09):
and the CIA coups and the likes and all about
petrol as the guy said. As Tristan said, the nationalized
nationalization of the country's oil, and that's I can't help
but think that, Yeah, if you have fuel autonomy as
a country boy, oh boy, you're in a good way.
And the other thing about people talk about the price

(02:05:30):
of oil going up, and I think this isn't the
greatest producer of oil, the United States, but it's just
not economical to produce it. Now They've got huge supplies
with fracking, So I mean, I think there's huge ways
to manipulate the price of oil through production. So yeah,
I think it's going to go to three dollars. That's

(02:05:52):
my take. We surely have a sweep steak on the
price of fuel, but seems slightly it seems slightly mean
spirited as people are getting bombed. I'm surprised that people
know how much it does cost a barrel, the old
Brent crude Peter's Marcus, Welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 23 (02:06:11):
You're just regarding shingles. I took every jeb you do
it for COVID and all that I took.

Speaker 17 (02:06:17):
Everyone I took up.

Speaker 23 (02:06:18):
I took four doses of it, and to seem strange,
there's not of these people there are you stud had
taken the vaccine all that sort of stuff or so
I'm doing it for my well being and also the
basically for the country as well, so don't pull up
the hospital and.

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 23 (02:06:33):
And basically after I had the fourth JEB, I two
months later, I've got shingles, And sometimes I wonder was
it because of the JEB that I took or just
it wasn't coincidence. No, no one can really say why
or was it? No one can really say yes, or
no one that one can.

Speaker 3 (02:06:52):
They really so why would why why would the vaccine
giving you shingles?

Speaker 9 (02:06:58):
Ah?

Speaker 23 (02:06:58):
They reckon these conspiracy some of these people that they
read all I don't read into that sort of stuff.
Something they do and they so that's part of the
seeing the chances are high of getting it.

Speaker 9 (02:07:09):
A few take the jabs, but how would it, how
would it be?

Speaker 3 (02:07:14):
God?

Speaker 23 (02:07:15):
I know, there's a lot of studies that's in this
of these people. They do this, they do all the
studies on them. There is a chance, they reckon, You're
stand a good chance of getting it if you do
take the jabs. I got it, so I will never
know the day I die was that part of the
of the jabs come along through the shorts. I know
what it's like I'm in shingles. There in a shower
one night and I saw these little bubbles, like little

(02:07:36):
blisters around the stomach giver in the show, and what
the hell's there? It's weird. Now you have a share,
you sort of yet washing away and you do what
you do, and then but another another and the next
morning my body just erupted. It was like almost like
an eruption. There's like more someone had stabbed and it
was really bad. I never and and it was yeah,
and it just got it was the hell of it.

(02:07:57):
I rang up my doctor. It wasn't too bad then,
and she was it was on the Thursday whatever it
was for the week, and I can't he can't get
you in until it was Tuesday next week, and it
was so I just went along with it. And then
come Saturday, I was in paint. It was got every
day I got worse and worse and worse. So I
understand people who got shingles. Just damn Pample and my

(02:08:17):
doctors they weren't going to couldn't see me on Tuesday.
So I'm pretty tough. I can take a fear of
a pain. I've a lot of our operations over the
years with knees and what have you, and I just
couldn't send the pain them to go to the to
the Richmond Center here and you promises of which is
a medical center. And I went and saw went in
there and I said, I've got a lot of pain.
I think what this says? I didn't. I said the

(02:08:40):
green maybe, And I said, you know what I got here,
I said, and the lady just looked at me. One
of the ladies saw you. I basically put me in
isolation room. You said, oh, the next singer, a nurse
came in and she said, oh, you've got really a
really bad case of shingles, really really bad. So then
they took me into another room where the doctor's were
one of those you know, clinic sort of thing. They

(02:09:02):
just couldn't believe. And I said, you've got a real,
real bad case of shingles. And it's quite funny because
you have a lot of these nurses they've got to
learn from by seeing things. You know, you've gotta they've
gotta know that knowledge. And I was I was like
a like a bit of a think the swear them.

Speaker 3 (02:09:18):
And you might be in the textbox.

Speaker 23 (02:09:23):
So I said, no, good, good, byes an, it's gonna
nurse they looks, you know, the only way they're gonna
they see what I've got. They might not see this
again in their life. At least now they know what
a bad case of shingles. So I'm quite willing to spread.
I can learn from from my misfortune. And then I
went to saw my doctor basically the next said. They
gave me anti virus and all that sort of stuff
paint and it was pretty bad. It's pretty painful, pretty tough.

(02:09:45):
And then I went saw my doctor on that Tuesday
following week and she said, Pete, I've been a I've
seen shingles. But she said for her to say that,
yours was the worst case of shingles I've ever seen
in my life. Still got the scars now you see
you seem to see the scars, the big ones. It's
almost the size of a probably about fifteen minute meters long.

(02:10:06):
It looks like someone who'd stabbed me. Really, it was really,
really bad. I just now now that I'm retired, I
actually got the shingle vaccine.

Speaker 3 (02:10:16):
Now I didn't mean that, Pete, had you had COVID.

Speaker 23 (02:10:22):
I've never no, I never, I never got it as
far as I know.

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
No, Okay, I think probably, I think probably. I think
if you got COVID sometimes you get more susceptible to
things like that. That would be the that would be
the thing. But you if you hadn't although some people hadn't,
didn't know that. But I think you get I didn't
know how much. But I think you get up to
ten year coverage with the vaccine from shingles. So you'll
be happy about that.

Speaker 23 (02:10:43):
Oh yeah, I just didn't someone there wasn't someone suitous
about what someone said. Seven hundred dollars. They need to say, pore, but.

Speaker 3 (02:10:52):
You get are you sixty five? You get free when
you're sixty.

Speaker 23 (02:10:55):
Got up for free. But it was I think I
was only about three fifty. I thought. I thought seven
hundred is quite quite high. I got mine done anyway,
so I should be I should be right for a
few years now. But I can tell to you already
get shingles in a different ways. Sometimes you get it
on one side, which I had. It's all there, one side,
all on my right hand side, it was, And then
some people they can get it all over. You can
get over your face and get anyway. So I just

(02:11:16):
got it on one side just down basically down the
basically from my shoulder down right down to my stomach
pretty much all that year. It just it just erupted
like it was quite I've never seen and I'm hoping
I never see that again in my life. It was horrible,
and said, and they come and saw me, they see that.
It's it's pretty bad.

Speaker 17 (02:11:32):
I see.

Speaker 23 (02:11:33):
Just give me some painkillers.

Speaker 2 (02:11:34):
I need them.

Speaker 3 (02:11:36):
What they give you.

Speaker 23 (02:11:38):
Oh, I forgot on what it was now, but whatever
they were, happy's HAPPI he's medication. I can't read the
damn words I say, damn long, so I just uh, yeah,
it was an experience. I don't wish that upon anybody.
It's I know what it's like now and people we
have shingles. It is quite painful for me to go
in on a Saturday. I thought, I wake to the Tuesday.
I can put up a feeling of pain and for

(02:11:59):
me they go in there. I'm not old. Guys, you've
got a bit of a flu or sniffle or I
don't go to the doctor straight away. For me to
go and see the doctor on the.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
We end a lot of stress at the time.

Speaker 23 (02:12:10):
No, I don't think so. No, I don't think I
wasn't all.

Speaker 3 (02:12:13):
I don't think no.

Speaker 23 (02:12:13):
I was just, you know, just doing every day stuff.
I don't think I was. Now I was you diding
well on that?

Speaker 2 (02:12:17):
I think no.

Speaker 23 (02:12:18):
I don't think it can be put down the stresses
that can be, yes, but I don't think it was.
I just do my normal days sort of stuff. I
don't think it was any more stressing on my normal
every day sort of routine stuff. I think you get
that stuff. I think sometimes it's just bad luck. I think,
you know, so, oh well, I'm just hoping that people
don't go through what I went through. Pill still get it.

(02:12:39):
But I definitely do recommend getting even say you're not
sixty five, well I had it very much. You get it,
you don't really get it again. But that's not true.
You can still get it again. So I thought, now
I said, oh, I've had it bad do so I
hope I don't get again. That was only about That
was about I've just got the records here, but that
I had had that one done, it's still it on

(02:12:59):
my vaccine, the whole I got the whole, got a
whole folder here, Every damn vaccine that I take took
taken and that's when I took that one. On the
sixth of July twenty twenty two. Two months later, I
got that, I got the I got the shingles, and
that's when I started to to think was it because

(02:13:21):
of the JEB? So I'll say before we'll never know
the day I die. Was it because part of the JEB?
Was it part of the breakdown of that who knows?
