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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be it's Thursday, Welcome to your My name is Marcus.
Good evening, hit'll twelve. I hope it's good where you are.
I think it's wet too. They're getting bombarded. There was
this weather storm that's supposed to hit Auckland. Here it's
wet here. There's no flooding. The weather's done. Me spare today.
There's nothing worse than when the grass is growing like
there's no tomorrow and it's wet, cheapest. It's like moving

(00:32):
a dead body, not though I've ever moved a dead
body anyway. There's other things to complain about besides the weather.
How are you are this fire? If you're across the
fire and Burnham, If you're Johnny on the spot of
Karen on the corner, let us no. I believe it's contained,
but tinder tinder dry. If you've got some eyewitnesses there
from christ Church, let me know how that's going south Kenterbury.

(00:54):
I guess we'll call that. Be very keen to know
what's going on there, So you get in touch. My
name is Marcus. Welcome hit'll twelve. So do you get
in touch you got to information about the fire, also
how dry it is, because it's not dry in South

(01:14):
But I see that Southern District Council working better for
a better future. I think it's them anyway, they've put
there's a there's a fireban, no use water notice because
they're expecting it's going to be a very very dry

(01:35):
three months. Even though the ground is saturated after six
months of raining. They are predicting that it's going to
be very very very very very dry in the summer. Yeah,
so I think it's going to be a summer of
fires because we're just into summer and there's already fires.
But you let me know how dry Canterbury is. That

(01:56):
would be of interest to me. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty nine to nine two detects if you have
got some information about that, a lot of things until
about tonight. Also too, if you've got breaking news, let
us know they're breaking users all across that for the
next three hours. So I wait four hours rather to eight.
Any at first up you've got some fire updates on

(02:16):
the fire or updates on how dry it is, it's
going to be a bit of a down bars if
you're in Canterbury or some you can't have fires or
use equipment with motors because you're scared of starting a fire.
But I suspect it might be going that way. Yeah,
although I think probably there's been suspicious how the fires

(02:37):
have started that right, they've won up in Colvidon's. They're
saying something with school camps or something up there. Were
they anyway, get in touch. My name's Marcus. Welcome, Jim
Stead and gee he's phonded a nertly. He's going to
be there here tonight. By the way, it is Christmas jusey,
Christmas Jumper day. There's one thing you'd never see me

(03:00):
in as a Christmas jumper, although I should say never
say never. I've gone and got myself involved with a
secret center. I've gone against one of my core beliefs
thirty dollars limit, and it's one you've got a name.
I don't know about the Yankee swap. I haven't. It's
been hard to get the details. I've panicked about it.

(03:23):
But anyway, that's a situation there. Oh, eight hundred and
eighty eight, Tom Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, you get a Marcus. I've just driven past the
fire and burn him. It seems to be contained and
just a little bit of smoldering onside the road.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Much area is seemed with boot It's just grass or pasture,
is it?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, it's just just grass by the Elizabeth. I'm going south,
so it was sort of over my shoulder. I couldn't
really have.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
A good block.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
But yeah, they just set up along the along the
bank of the river, and there's a couple of paddicks
that seem to be all burned out, and then a
little bit of a pine forest, but none of the
trees are like fully burnt, just just chart.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, are you a are you a farmer? Tom?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, because I'm never quite sure if there's a lot
do they leave grass long at this time with you
to make Hey, is that what would have caught fire?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
You're asking the wrong per Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It's a good report, though, I think is it is it?
Is it south of the why uh Salwyn River or
north of that?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
North of the Selwyn River?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay? But okay, yeah, I was sort.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Of having to plan my road. I'm on the way
to tomorrow, but yeah, the Google Maps changed just before
I got on the road, so I'm just taking say
highway to the whole way, and yeah, I didn't have
to take any diversions or anything.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, appreciate that's just men to support Tom. Thanks so
much for that. So as that's well contained, there's not
much to boon. There be quite curious for someone that's
on the trektors this time with the night to tell
me how the whole summer pasture things works for farmers.
When did they start getting the first hayen? And what's
it when they just cut all the grass? They just
take that and dump that silage? Do you do silage

(05:21):
when you can't trust the weather? Is that how that works?
If you got some information about that, I'll be dead
keen to hear from you. Oh, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine ten nine two detext. I'll keep you updated.
With the Breakers they are playing the jack Jumpers. Breakers
are fifth, jack Jumpers are seventh. They're the Tezzy team.

(05:44):
So what channel ten is it? I'll go to ESPN.
I'm closer. What's my hard work going through all those
channels on that damn remote? Down by ten? Breakers? Jay Jumpers.
There we go. Nineteen twenty nine, Tezzy in the front

(06:04):
nine thirty five. Left in the f isg out to
a strong start out the left in the second sorry
out to a very strong start. The jack Jumpers keep
in touching on talk markets till twelve. Here's another question
for me. I've got a lot to ask you about.
So I'm trying to get more into Marketplace on Facebook
because it seems to be not many listenings listings on

(06:25):
trade me. So, if you're buying stuff on marketplace right
and we all are, if it's not Team Who, it's Marketplace.
I want to do a search for the product I'm after,
but I want to search the whole country. But I
can only get a five hundred K limit. Can I
bang that out to cover the whole of New Zealand.

(06:46):
I can't work out how to do that. Has someone
got a hack for that? Because every time I go
to Facebook and go to Marketplace, I'm limited. Yeah, so
I've got some information about that. Let me know about that,
because it doesn't work for me. I'm sick of having

(07:07):
to do four different locations around the country to do
a search for what I want to buy. It's a
pig of a thing, isn't it. By the way, I'm
not buying my Secret Center on Marketplace. And I've got
to say, with my secret Center, I'm still not convinced

(07:28):
I've got the mental calmness to actually go right through
to Christmas Day and fulfill my brief of secret Center.
So yeah, I'm worried about that. Just seems so terrifying
for me. Anyway, get in touch Marcus till twelve. Oh

(07:49):
wait her at today we're talking about the fire, and
we're talking about Marketplace. But I wanted to search all
New Zealand think, can you help me with that one?
I'd be appreciative of that. If you've got some information
doesn't work for me, can't get it to work, it
could just do within five hundred ks, Marcus, it's called

(08:14):
me Caracas with a K.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's all right, because EM and K are quite close
on the keyboard. I forgive you. If K was miles
away from him on the keyboard, I think, well, you've
gone on of your way to call me Carcas Marcus.
I did the Secret Center at work this year. Never
done it before because I hate the stealing. A couple
of people stole gifts, but I was the last to
pick and got a box of boiled tart, sweet apples,

(08:40):
boiled tart apple sweets delicious, and a three D puzzle
that sounds fantastic. I bought Ferraro orro shares as my
gift because I almost forgot. The person who got them
loves them. I personally hate them. Oh, you couldn't hate
Ferraro shahs. They're like any little clouds, little crispy clouds.
I love those, Marcus. It's really drying. Canterbury. We detailed

(09:01):
coming back to christ Church, but the detour led to
a river crossing. When we got their five cars was
duck in the stones. Lucky townies. Luck you're in a
four wheel drive. Too many police cars heading south from
Mount Wellington on ramps, so there's something happening on the
Auckland Motorway. I think it's the silly season for crazy
crimes and all the ram raids are back, not that

(09:22):
they're calling them ram raids anymore. They're calling them car
assisted robberies or something, which is crazy. So these are
all good questions i'm asking or the other thing I'm
thinking about today. So here's a question for you. Now,
it's a pretty entry level, easy talkback question. This one.

(09:44):
I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, And it's
one of those mind experiments. It's not a very exciting
mind experiment. I'm just curious to know if you had
to choose for the whole future. I've just been able
to eat one between tinned baked beans or tin spaghetti,

(10:06):
which one would you go with? Because I'm thinking the
beans are healthier, but the spaghetti's more delicious. Would that
be a common choice. I'm not saying we'd live on.
I'm not saying it's the food of the gods. But
if you just had to choose one, which way would
you go? The tin spaghetti or the tin baked beans?

(10:30):
I want which one you tire of earlier? I think
that's an interesting question for a pre Christmas show. It's
got us off the fairies and the greyhounds. Although I
was fascinated by that caller last night that rang up.
Here's how greyhounds work, right, You buy a greyhound for
six grand, You take it to the trainer. You say,

(10:56):
get a blowie meat, such and such. Here's the greyhound
right now. That's the only money you pay. So what
happens from then on is that the trainer feeds the
dog and trains the dog. And you get half of
the winnings. I mean, how straightforward does that sound? Of course,

(11:18):
it's a sport that's only got eighteen months to go.
I had no idea it was so straightforward. And of
course that's why I suppose why they why a lot
of dogs are put out to pasture because the trainers
getting half the money. Not a very good dog. The
train is not going to be interested much more, is he. Anyway,

(11:40):
I'm not saying that's a talk back topic, but it's
very interested to hear what that's about. So there we go.
The baked beans or the spaghetti. Here we go, baked
beans all day, far more options to jazz it up
or jazz it down. I would have thought there's more
options to jazz up the spaghetti. I've never seen baked
beans jazzed up. By the way, can you even say
baked beans jazzed up? It seems a bit like it

(12:03):
seems a bit grandiose. Beans all day, far more options
to jazz it up or down. How would you jazz
baked beans down? It's about as low as you have
to have. You have to have a shovel to jazz
it down. Wouldn't you baked beans better protein definitely regards stuffel.

(12:24):
The reason I'm saying that's because of the season of
people to come to New Zealand to complain about our food.
The first complaint was a journalist from Australia that was
complaining about the Phidia dollar burrito at Queenstown, and fair
enough to Queenstin had some terrible food. The best, bitch,

(12:44):
you go out to that Frankdin French bakery and get
one of those walnut and pat a kind of a
sandwich situation. Delicious, Marcus. My vote baked beans neither spagheti
or baked beans. Hate them both. That's not what I
was saying, Rebecca. We're not stopped thinking if you had

(13:07):
to choose one, not if you couldn't choose any What
a waste of twenty cents cheese that jazz is baked
beans up? How would your jazz up bake? But where
would you put the cheese? These are all very good questions.

(13:27):
I think I've thrown too many topics at you tonight.
I am interested in marketplace. I am interested in baked
beans versus spaghetti. I think it's sad that no one
said spaghetti or here we go, Marcus spaghetti of the way,
can do so many variations with it, Raewan, that'll be
the pizza that'll be there on toast under a mouse trap.

(13:49):
What are the variations can you do with tin spaghetti?
Someone says tin spaghetti is too soft? Baked beans jazzed up.
That's the name of the podcast, Hey Dan?

Speaker 7 (14:03):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Quick email? Just to clarify, the far is south of
Burnham and therefore in Alsemere, which is north. If it
was north of burn it would be in Malvin, both
Malvin and elsewhere and make up the Selwyn district. So
not in South Canterbury, which is between White Tucky and
Rangatata rivers. South Canterbury. People do not see themselves as
Cantabrians in our distinct group of people far away from
rah Rahs in the like of christ Church and North Canterbury.

(14:32):
Great explanation, Tony, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
Hire you go, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Oh thanks good, thank you Tony.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
Now this marketplace thing you're going on about, you're trying
to buy something, yep, and you want to buy it
from anywhere in New Yalain.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I want to just search for the thing I'm buying
each night when I go to work like I do
with my trade me. But it can only do a
search within five hundred k's of where.

Speaker 8 (14:57):
I live, right, Yeah, I'm I'm not too sure whether
there's a thing called boasting. Oh you boost it? Yeah,
a that a cost cost money?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Really I can boost it?

Speaker 8 (15:09):
Yeah, you can boost it. I'm pretty sure you can
boost whatever you're trying to trying to buy. But you
can when you're selling something, but I haven't done it.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
When something i'd love to boost it, well you.

Speaker 8 (15:20):
Can try that. But that's the only thing I can
think of, because I'm on Marketplace myself. I mean, I
do lawn mowing.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
You see, Oh you what's your lawnmowing company called?

Speaker 8 (15:31):
It's called a motown mowing, mate, not motown Mary.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
No motown mowing. Is it going all right for you?

Speaker 9 (15:40):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (15:40):
Mate? She's yeah, we're thriving at the moment. Yeah, we're
pretty busy. But yeah, to get something on Marketplace, it's
a great venue because you know, you can go straight
if you want to buy something in Auckland, and then
Auckland's got everything for sale, mate, you don't need to
you don't need to look over all over new Hill
and everything is in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Beans, beansles spaghetti for you, Tony.

Speaker 8 (16:05):
I bean been beans meantime, mate.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Okay, good on you. A lot of controversy about this. Marcus.
Were at a Cafe Tito the early one morning. Three
young American tourists coming reading the menu expressed expressed absolute bewilderment.
Ask the caffe ona why they would put spaghetti on toast.
Maybe they don't have tin speedy of there. It is weird.
You're putting carbs on carbs, isn't it. It is weird

(16:32):
as a concept, spaghetti on toast. It's like, yeah, I
don't know what to what to say about that. It's weird. Hello, Mike,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus. I know you said picked between
the two, but for me it's fake beans in the
morning and spaghetti at night.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (16:53):
Yeah, so baked beans in the morning with fried tomato
and backing and poached eggs.

Speaker 8 (16:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (16:59):
And at night it's the schedy on toast for the
poached egg. Beautiful, mate.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
If you could choose one, you wouldn't.

Speaker 10 (17:08):
No, I love them both.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I appreciate your passion. Mike, go you cafe Scott.

Speaker 11 (17:15):
Marcus welcome, Hey Marcus, just say talking about the Facebook
and being able to view things in different places. Are
you aware you can change the city that you're viewing stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yes, But that's a lot of fair thing around, isn't it.
Because I've got to do three different things at seven
five hundreds each.

Speaker 12 (17:33):
It's five hundred k's the limit?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Is it the upper limit? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (17:38):
Yeah, I hadn't really. I mean, I've never looked something
that far away because I'd rather, you know, find something
on local. But I wanted to check it. I mean,
I'm in Auckland that I just had a look at
the end of the cargo page. I wanted to check it.
At least you could.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, it's coming to New Zealands.

Speaker 13 (17:51):
Yeah, I mean you have to do lower South kind
of the central and then you have to do probably
par me Up or something, wouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, I do in the cargol then christ Church, then
Wellington and Auckland. But that's four different searches.

Speaker 11 (18:05):
But as a five hundred radius, I mean I think
so would you if you're doing in Vericago, wouldn't you
still be getting most of the christ Church anyway?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
No, I think it's five hundred k's between the Caago
and christ chech, isn't it maybe, especially screaming kids in
the characters a long way to screaming kids are well,
they do it well. They don't normally scream, to be fair,
but you know, it always seems it always Yeah, it's
five hundred and sixty one.

Speaker 10 (18:34):
K's oh, I see it.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
It's like Aukland Wellington. People don't think they think, oh
christ Church. Then then the cargo's just there, but it's
at Aukland Wellington.

Speaker 14 (18:45):
Is it really?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:47):
No, I mean I guess that makes sense.

Speaker 13 (18:49):
I've done christ Church, been the need and I haven't been.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Think it's another as three hours onto that. That's why
people think, oh, well, you know you're fine. But yeah,
it's why we need trains and theories that are rail enabled.
I think Winston's going to do us well with us.
By the way, I've changed my tune a bit about this.
He's all for the rail enabled. He's old school. Here's
someone this is typical of talk back and the internet

(19:13):
in this modern day. What about cream corn? The topic
was quite specific. It was a choice be in tinned
spaghetti or tinned baked beans, Which would you choose if
you could only eat one forever? Not only that. But
if you can only eat one, you know what I'm saying.

(19:33):
It's a mind experiment. But people are saying bakeer spaghetti,
and people are saying baked beans. You could jazz up
with jazz down. I don'tink the only one who jazz
down Baked beans would be put them on gluten and
free bread, wouldn't it. We'll put them on a wafer.

(19:53):
Baked beans to be a good name for a restaurant,
wouldn't it, Baked beans jazzed up?

Speaker 15 (19:57):
Steve some baked beans.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't want to, but someone says you could jazz
and up jas put them on.

Speaker 15 (20:05):
Top of my Yeah, shehap is pie. What I do
for the crust is mesh up four cumeras and put
it in a tin of baked beans. Mix them in
with a mesh couma, poured it over the top. You
have a sheepish pie. Fry up a little bit of
tomato rings put on top. It's a nice tasty cheese.

(20:28):
Put it under the grill.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
A caffe that sounds delicious feeds six. Really, who are
those six?

Speaker 15 (20:37):
I've got some frenzy. They like my tucker, A nice
bit of lamb mince and I've cooked that, made a
nice gravy, put in a handful of raisins, the sweet
with the meat, and I get a big bag and
the cans mixed vegetables, boil them up and put that

(20:58):
over the top of the meat, and then put the
kumera and the baked beans over the top of the topping.
And it's just slice the tomato thin, try it, put
it on top, and a nice bit of grated tasty
cheese under the group. I'll tell you what I've got
two guys. I reckon if there were a female and

(21:20):
thirty years younger, they'd marry me.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's a pretty modern thing to say, isn't it.

Speaker 15 (21:25):
I know it is.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
If you were female, Well, that's a good compliment in
your nick of the woods.

Speaker 15 (21:32):
I love my tagger.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, if you were female and thirty years younger, they'd
marry you. That's a real compliment. Have you worked out
where you're going for Christmas?

Speaker 11 (21:46):
To share?

Speaker 16 (21:46):
Steve?

Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, we staying home, having anyone coming around?

Speaker 15 (21:52):
Oh no, I think it'll be a very quiet one.
I might go in and see you made of mine
around the corner of it, and he've been here a
short time, and we might share a bit of homebrew.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
That's a good idea.

Speaker 15 (22:05):
Can port here my home brews?

Speaker 17 (22:07):
Well?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Beck, have you got your shot a turkey? Have you?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (22:11):
I've got it in the in the freezer. It was shot,
it's been corned and smoked. You cut in half and
it's yeah. It'll be just put in the oven, just
half as enough for me.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
To watch your home brew. It's probably parsley or something.

Speaker 18 (22:28):
Is it.

Speaker 15 (22:30):
No, I've got fee here of wine.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Good.

Speaker 15 (22:36):
I've got some sash brewer.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yep, brute beer yep.

Speaker 15 (22:41):
And I've got a nice lager brilliant.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Okay, Oh it sounds it sounds like an explosive mixed Steve,
Thank you very much for that. Someone said that man
has a PhD In jazzing up beans. Well, that's a
jazzed up bean top of the shepherd's pie. If it
was thirty years younger and a woman, I'd marry him.

(23:05):
Marcus books some careen lies onion through the baked beans
with a dash of Colby Delish? Can we stop saying delish?
Uncle Mikey Like spagheens, spaghetti and beans mixed together. Spagheens.
Marcus almost backing christ Church you after starting on Stuart

(23:26):
Island this morning on a nice day for a crossing
free calm the lake. They even took the barge across.
I saw dropped off a two A group in Queenstown
and almost in christ Church was advised to take the
Rakaya Gorge route, which I did. Roade was dead quiet.
Baked beans over a baked potato, grated cheese, letuce and
mayo was just the bee's knees for me. Spaghetti doesn't
do anything for me. I'll tell you what isn't good spaghetti.

(23:49):
Of those little sausages, they're not a sausage. I don't
even know what that is. It's like a it's not
a sausage. Probably a food crime. Simon ands Marcus, welcome,
good evening, you good, thank you. Simon.

Speaker 19 (24:09):
Oh good baked beans, finely chopped garlick and love bathroom
and a tablespoon of honey in us and mix on them.
Heats up.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Hey, what's then you do?

Speaker 8 (24:27):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (24:27):
Just just because of the nice and say it.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
So if you choose one, you choose the baked beans.
Is that right?

Speaker 19 (24:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, you're pretty firm on that. Simon. Good On, you're
twenty two away from nine. I just asked the question
us one, would you go baked beans or spaghetti? Someone
said baked beans because you can jazz them up and
jazz them down. I'm not sure how he could jazz
them down because they're pretty down. Anyway, Someone's texted and

(25:01):
they miss Marcus Spaghetti and milk. Spaghetti and milk and
drink it like a soup. Well, that is jazzing it down.
Get in touch Marcus till midnight. Lisa. Hello, Okay, so
good Lisa, thank you.

Speaker 10 (25:21):
It's good.

Speaker 20 (25:21):
So you want to get some chibata bread and then
you want to put some maca slash, and then you
want to put some onion on it, and then some
spaghetti tomato because of what the tomato once it gets
cockedal spun her and then some cheese on top and
then put it on grill in the oven. I'm not

(25:42):
going to say delish to.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
The person who you're talking to. You should just the
first name should be enough, shouldn't it Mary, that you'd
be talking to you?

Speaker 8 (26:00):
She probably say okay.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, I don't know. I don't know. I didn't sound
like I did.

Speaker 21 (26:11):
For Christmas?

Speaker 20 (26:14):
Are you weaking over Christmas?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
No?

Speaker 20 (26:17):
Heading for the oh Mitch lovely you enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I've got four weeks and I'm here next week. Yeah,
and funny, if it's my eldest boys last day of
primary school tomorrow, are you supposed to walk You're supposed
to walk them to school on the last day. It's
a big song dance on the first. The last seems
like a bit of anti climax.

Speaker 20 (26:37):
Oh, i'd say, I'd say not. I'll say he'd be
the one to ask it.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yea, I'm not quite sure what to do for that.
How we could recognize that it means they have to
get up boot because I said I welcome to school.
But I can't really be bothered. But so, I mean
they picked up their bags and cleaned the school a
week ago. There's just water fights and stuff. I'd rather
take them down to see Wicked, but he's not keen
at all. But anyway, I'm into these passing of what

(27:05):
it might elstones or millstones as you could probably call them. So, yes,
that's exciting. That's tomorrow. I told him that six years,
that's twelve hundred that's seven two hundred hours he's been there,
and so we've got to acknowledge that I'm not quite

(27:28):
sure how that's going to be any who delish? Oh,
I like Lisa Marcus Slash nineteen to nine, Hedle twelve
seems a long way away, now, don't it. This tall
guy is always falling down the guy for the breakers, Marcus.

(27:50):
These suggestions are he in as clear as as are
heathens and criminals. Disgusting Marcus. I put baked beans on
pasta instead of Bolonne's sauce. Frank, Frank the tank. What
about spagheines spaghetian I love a portmanteau with food, spaghines

(28:16):
on he don't let's have the spagheines. It'd be worth
putting that on a restaurant. Mean you. I have had
a cafe to do spagheines just as a conversation. I
record it go viral. I don't even know if you
could google up with it to be anyone that would
sell spaghines. No, And I realized that, Yeah, I'm not

(28:42):
gonna I'm not going to apologize for what people like
to eat. But yeah, I tell you that one thing
I'm opposed to snobbery. But what's say Lisa? She wants
to put his spagheines on a giparta toast of course,
we've come a long way as a country, haven't we.

(29:04):
Do You know how, here's a question for you. Do
you know how long Japarta bread has been around for?
How long do you think Japarta bread has been around
for in Italy? I think it would be five thousand years,

(29:27):
one thousand years or five hundred years. Never think about
that and let me know.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
Oh, by the way, I I've been reading some interesting
articles about the restoration of the hotel of the Notre
Dame Cathedral.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Very interesting. I forget the bits that were so interesting,
but gee, what a story that is to do that
in five years. If it inspired me to go and
read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which I haven't done yet,
that's on my Christmas list. I don't know why I've
never read that. Not many books based on a cathedral.

(30:13):
I couldn't even tell you what I falls in love?
Does he the Hunchback? I think that's probably what it's about.
Or I got that confused with Lamers or they as
similar as one based or not Lamer's the other one
fandom of the opera, there's one based on the other.
Is it just something that's mixed up in my mind?
By the way, what's the etiquette for getting out of
secret center? Because I got myself in one and it's
already causing me panic attacks. By the way, the Japarta

(30:38):
bread I asked about the Japarta bread that Lisa suggested
that has been around. Get this. According to Wikipedia, it
was created or invented in nineteen eighty two and a
reply to the French baget. So it's been around for

(30:59):
forty three years. Not long at all. Marcus, very Christmas
Tilly sausage. Could give a shout out to Liam. He
loves this radio station. It's a worry. How old are
Liam as a young or role? It sounds like he
sounds like he might be a kid. By the way,

(31:21):
is lame as a fan of the opera based on
the hunch Pocker Notre Dame. He's twenty, Hi, Liam, I'm
looking forty twenty first day? Is that still a big thing? Oh,
he's already twenty one. They've got the They got the
age wrong, sop. You can't win, Marcus. Baked beans a
better because you're eating cold straight from the cancer. But
it needs to be hot and gross of cold. Marcus,

(31:45):
I have baked beans with mutton Ham while watching the Greyhounds.
That's a good text. That's someone that's been listening for
a long long time. Good evening, Andy, Yeah, hey you Marcus,
good Andy, thank you.

Speaker 18 (32:00):
Yeah, it's just ring up a bit. I was driving
home and I was listening to you thing about the marketplace.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yep, so the film righted.

Speaker 18 (32:06):
Change sense meter took over recently, So am I going
to the search engine? So today, for instance, I typed
in a Holly carburetor and then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
just for instance, you know a thing that I might
look at. So then it goes and then it comes
up like eight little square windows with prices. So when

(32:28):
I found in the old way used to like our
tap all and then there'd be a big list that
you could just go for a scroll. But now when
you tap all, it just does your region, and there
might be two or there might be none, and then
it just says the end of results. You end of results.
So before I so before I tap on all, one

(32:49):
of those little square pictures that have got the price
like a thousand dollars or two hundred dollars, I just
tap on that and then I start scrolling down and
then a whole heap will come up.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Okay, so where do you go again? You type on
your thing and that brings them up or the pictures
and then.

Speaker 18 (33:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, so those little pictures and all
we have a price. It might be half a dozen pictures. Yeah,
and then and then I just tap on one of
those little pictures and then I just start scrolling down
and then there's a whole list of there's a whole
list of stuff around the country.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yep, yeah, okay, I want to look more into that
end e but thank you appreciate that it didn't quite
work for me. But that's good. Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten nine nine to the text. Keep those texts
coming in. JT. Marcus, welcome you Marcus.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
I've never had baked beans in my life, really like
like spaghetti and never had any never had anything other
than what is spaghetti?

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Are you like? Now, don't take this the wrong way
other people out there listening. You know how there are
some people who won't eat certain foods because of the
way they look. People that they say they're on the.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, that's probably that's probably me.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I want to know say the word because I was
going to say, it's gonna upset okay, so yeah, okay,
what would what would cause you to try them?

Speaker 4 (34:24):
No, I'm never I will die before I eat baked beans.
I'm not going to eat them ever. I don't like nuts,
mind you. If they're in some other food, I'll probably
eat them. But I want to know when was the
last time Lux and Nichola Willis and Winston Peters last

(34:44):
went on an into island theory or crossed cook straight
on a ship. I guarantee you they haven't done at
this century.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Willis or Lux and I reckon never would have. I
reckon Winston probably because he always seems to have mates
that work on them, because he's always got the intel,
isn't he the.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
He probably would have done it in the seventies or eighties, nineties.

Speaker 22 (35:10):
Maybe he would have.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Had some road trip. He would had some road trip.
Keeps keep News Inland First with that white van with
a flag. He would have driven it around the country.
He would let's get on the air when it was
and it's kind of when one time when the News
in First was kind of down in the poles, he'd
be driving around the country talking from the back of
that track, going on the Ender Islander.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
But even then he probably was flying and the bus
was traveling by land.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
It's a good point. I've never seen luxan on a
few times. Would you see a movie on the interne
If you get on it and there's a movie playing,
would you go to that movie? Yep, yeah, I saw.
I saw Coyote Ugly on the ferry and it was good.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Well, there's hardly any movies that you've ever watched in
your whole life, so that's quite surprising me.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I thought I've watched a lot of movies. Do you reckon?
I've not watched many.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
It was all those movies that you've never seen before.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Oh what, Jaws and et, plus.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
All the other classics like what. Well, I just want
to get back onto the ferries. You know. There needs
to be a new terminal building built at Picton, needs
to be new vehicle ramps. There needs to be a
new bridge over Dublin Street and Picton, just so that
the traffic can flow when all the cars are queued

(36:30):
up waiting for the ferry to leave. It's just an
absolute complete cluster. It's like some of these politicians don't
seem to realize that the cock straight is the most
important piece of state Highway one and the entire country.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
The most important needs to be robust and future proofed.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Especially after WAHENI. We know, we can see, we can
see what could possibly happen in the next few years.
And also they need to sort out the military. Not
giving a pay rise to defense for staff, that's just unconstable.

(37:11):
Why don't they just give police and defense force people
inflation adjusted pay every year and depoliticize it. That would
be the way to go.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Are you still burning a candle for Cape Campbell or
Clifford Bay?

Speaker 4 (37:28):
No, because of the quake, just because it costs you
much and national won't do it. You're probably better off
to build a new terminal out on Tory Channel somehow.
But no, you're better off just to stick to the
way it is. Okay, it works fine.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
I just know that that was a big thing there
for a long long time. Okay. JT. Nice to talk
to you. Thank you. Just coming up towards the news
people head on Midnight Manimes, Marcus, welcome, Marcus, last caller
speaks the truth. The only way Luxon would travel would
be with a chauffeur and some lucky to open the
door for him to walk with Kings and keep the
common touch. He likes it on TikTok that way. Greetings,

(38:12):
welcome here on midnight tonight, Jim Steden. Funny enough, he's
on tonight, which makes me keep thinking it's Friday, but
it's very much Thursday because it because I got school
to row. The numbers always an eighty. Ashley, thanks for
hanging on there for Everett's Marcus.

Speaker 23 (38:24):
Welcome, Hi, Marcus Cleave.

Speaker 22 (38:27):
How are you good?

Speaker 23 (38:28):
Thank you, Ashley, little story for you. I'm sixty seven
years old, two year two and a bun years ago,
I was sitting in a two bedroom flat renting, winning.

Speaker 21 (38:40):
What to do with my life?

Speaker 23 (38:42):
And I started watching YouTube.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Channel you did you own the two bedroom flat?

Speaker 23 (38:47):
No, I rented it. I rented it and I had
I had my Kiwi Savor coming through, and I was
worrying what to do, and I started studying. I suppose studying.
You can just call it that YouTube. And I started, well,
we call.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
That, we've got it watching YouTube.

Speaker 23 (39:05):
I think watching okay, I learned a lot. So anyway,
so I thought, okay, I actually watched Tesla for about
six years.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Off and on, but a lot you watched what.

Speaker 23 (39:22):
Sorry YouTube? And I started studying Tesla.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Oh the car company.

Speaker 23 (39:26):
Yep, yeah, well they're not a car company, They're an
AI company and and and Elon Musk and I decided
when I my kiwisaver came through, I decided to buy
some tears of shares. I opened the shares's account and
I bought. I bought the shares, and they immediately dropped
thirty percent.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
According to worker Wikipedia, Tesla is a multinational automotive company.

Speaker 23 (39:54):
Yeah, well that's that's only one part of them. Anyway,
So what I did is I bought some tens of shares.
They dropped thirty percent, and I waited. Anyway, the end
result is at at the end of this year, they
they well overdoubled. I made I think of seventy three
percent on my money.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
And I'm pretty yacht and how and how many years.

Speaker 23 (40:17):
To two years two months? And I'm now down here
entering in the.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
When did you buy?

Speaker 18 (40:25):
So?

Speaker 2 (40:26):
When did you buy?

Speaker 23 (40:28):
I bought the yacht last week.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Now when did you buy the shares?

Speaker 23 (40:32):
I bought the shares two years two months ago when
I October. I bought the shares October the two when
I shared sixty five two years.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Ago October the fourteenth two and five dollars US per year.

Speaker 23 (40:47):
That's total of the eighth that was I bought them
for my birthday.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Okay, really ontob of the fourteenth two hundred and five
US dollars.

Speaker 23 (40:57):
That's right there now three fifty, don't they.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Four two, four seventy seven?

Speaker 23 (41:03):
I oh, okay, any right, So anyway I've brought this.
I'm now sitting down Evanspace anchor just knocked the boat
deads here in my yacht. I'm going to sail north
north in the next few weeks. Point is what I
would like to tell for your for your for yourself,
and for your listeners. There's a gold No, there's an
opportunity heading up in a commercial world that I know

(41:27):
they followed for a long time but never invested that
it could make a lot of people a lot of money,
very very quickly. And when I say quickly, with over
the next five to six years, you can turn ten
thousand dollars and there's not fine the sky well over
a million. And I'll tell you why. Cybercab was launched

(41:48):
this year, about a month ago. Cybercab's a two door
cab that has no no stearing well no, no pedals,
no driver. At the same event where they launched showed
the cybercab, they would there were Tiesler bots walking around,

(42:08):
you know, interaction with people. If you look on YouTube
at the moment, put in tiler blot catching tennispal, you'll
be amazed. Elon says, the tis the boots on its
third generation. He says, usually it takes three generations to
get something great. They said cars right for a long time.
Now Tisner has solved real world AI. You don't listen
to me yet, they've solved that Tesser doesn't come out.

(42:30):
People say, oh, Wavemo's way here. Then Weymo is not
way here. Then waymot is going to go broke.

Speaker 18 (42:37):
With a Wymo.

Speaker 23 (42:38):
The cars cost one hundred thousand dollars each. You've got
to mep a city if anything changes tonight.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Mere Actually, so you think Tesla's cheese are going to
go up and you want to want to go Actually
am not interested. But is it what you've rung up
to say that Tesla's cheese will go up people? People
should buy them? Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 23 (43:01):
How let me cut to the chase. Right now, Chesney's
market cap is one point two trillion, and the shares
I'll go through fifty there four two five. When Cybercab
comes online, which is next year, and they're ready to
mass produce a cybercab, market cap will be two point
two trillion. They will take tens of shares to one

(43:21):
thousand dollars. This year, Tesla boot comes online too.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Sorry, this is not interesting. We've been talking about other stuff.
You've come and randomly full of specific information. Sounds like
you've been drinking the kool aid.

Speaker 23 (43:35):
You haven't been drinking anything, man, completely straight.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah, yeah, but read the room.

Speaker 24 (43:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
It has just gone into all sorts of all sorts
of you sound panetical.

Speaker 23 (43:50):
Well, with the money, we know we would be nice.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Well they might lose all their money too.

Speaker 23 (43:57):
No, they can't. They can't.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Dear good night. I felt like I was on one
of that TV show on Sky and just talk about
money the whole time. I don't mind people talking about
shears or saying what that, But you know, jeaps, I
head over the head with it, you know, get in touch. Oh, Marcus,

(44:22):
Christmas school holidays nearly. I can't. Really, that doesn't makes sense, Marcus.
My sister told me she heard that Dick van Dyke's
house was under threat for the fires in Malibu.

Speaker 22 (44:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
I hadn't heard that. Of course. That's one of my
predictions is that Dick van Dyke surprise survives the year
be terrible at ninety nine if he died in a fire.
Marcus Audrey, here we are over nineteen in our cambravan
in Oxford, Canterbury, and a few fire engineers headed out
of town. Wow, so you might want to talk or

(45:00):
let us know something about that, Gordon, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 21 (45:05):
Hello, good thing, Gordon, excellent time.

Speaker 11 (45:09):
Just just hearing about your Facebook there, Yes, market, yes, yeah, yep, yep.

Speaker 21 (45:14):
From my experience there, it doesn't matter what you're, how
far out from you you are, whatever you type in there,
if you keep scrolling down and says results outside your
search area.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Is it all of them or just some of them?

Speaker 21 (45:27):
Though it should be all of them are just focon
with many how many pages there are? I just kept
scrolling through.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Okayl I've wondered about that. That's why it's important to ask,
because I wonder if that was all of them or
just some suggested ones.

Speaker 21 (45:41):
Well, I suppose once it goes off topic, there you'll
know you're at the end of them.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Yeah, okay, because it didn't seem to be as many
that okay.

Speaker 21 (45:48):
Then yeah, you run out of your church results.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Okay, I appreciate That's good advice, Gordon. I appreciate that.
Thank you. Sixteen past nine, keep you going nine to
nine to to text. Try baked beans with mayonnaise. Best
foods will change your life. There you go. Marcus of

(46:13):
recent as it a French restaurant. I said to the
way to do have frog legs? He said yes. I said,
hop across the road and get me a pack of cigarettes.
Very good, Marcus. Whatever you do, don't buy the budget band.
Spaghetti not for human consumption? What is or nothing? Best
spaghetti Discovery spaghetti, toasted sanwage right out of the irons,
and blue cheese spread topside. Can you please tell me

(46:37):
who is hosting after midnight? No, Jillian, get a life.
Surely someone can't work out three hours before midnight what's
going to happen with who's gonna be on the midawn show?
That's just crazy. I did ask if you could just
choose one for the rest of your life, would it
be baked beans or spaghetti? And most people try to

(47:00):
redefine the question, which is the modern condition. No one
can just ask any answer anything they've got actually change it.
Someone said, I'd rather have baked beans because you can
jazz them down. Have you ever seen a jazz down bake?
A jazz down bake beans with jazz downed anyway, jazzed down?

(47:24):
Get in touch. My name's Marcus welcome Headled twelve. No
one really knows what's going to happen to Tesley years
because of course, if there's all this great future development
that's coming, that will be priced into the share price,
people investigate what's going to happen, and that's all facked
it in. Someone said pickles and salted Vigo chips are

(47:52):
life changing. Don't say on the radio. I like that,
Like if I was going to go out and buy it.
How are you all going? People? And listen to land?
My name is Marcus welcome Head on midnight, Oh, I
want to keep you up to that. With the news.
I sense a lot's happening. I'm not saying it's earthquake weather,
but there's stuff happening out there. There's a big meteor
shower coming yep, a big meteorite shower that's on its way.

(48:22):
You might have some information about that. It's the Geminid's
media shower. We must go through it every year. It'll
peak this weekend, but it's going to be a full moon,
which will reduce your chance to see it. I reckon,
to be honest, I think media showers are disappointing. That's

(48:48):
my take on it. Too much reporting of them these days.
I think it was better when we didn't have know
when media showers were coming. I've never gone out looking
for one and seen it Aurora, Australis.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
Though.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
On the other hand, that's always good. Beck at your
eighteen past nine. My name is Marcus hitdled midnight. Mm hmm,
there's other stuff you want to talk about? Good? Oh yeah,
I'm hearing you. Someone's sending a loaf of bread best

(49:22):
before the twelfth of December and it's got mold all
over at Vogels. I reckon they're bagging it too hot.
Particularly it seems to be a brown loaf, seems to
be more more mold prone like the healthier loaves. But

(49:45):
that's an outrage that. It's quite amazing looking at mold day,
how it just grows like that, even how there's what
that one circle there that's on both slices, like it's
kept its circle structure but gone over the slice and
the loaf. Wow, it's like a five dollar life for breed.

(50:08):
Just unusable. Hi, Trevor, it's Marcus. Welcome, here you go.

Speaker 25 (50:13):
I just thought I get you back on track, mate.
They talk about the Hunchback of Notre Damn. Sure, yeah
that was he was a bell ringer back in the
fifteenth century and managed to get loose. And the other
one was the Phantom of the Opera. Yeah, he was fictional,
but it was an incredible story by Andrew Lloyd. Web

(50:35):
been to both places, and the most amusing part is
when you actually go to the opera house in Paris.
I don't know if you've been to Fantom of the Opera,
but there's a booth which the Phantom always wanted to
keep empty, and it's quite amusing that the carpet is
totally worn out in the front of the door, where
everybody's trying to poke their heads through the door just

(50:55):
to have a look at what the old Fensom's room.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Would look like.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Have you read The Hunchback?

Speaker 25 (51:03):
No I haven't, but yeah, a bit of a mediography and.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna yeah, I'm just on the BAP because
I think the fact that he wrote that book meant
that the cathedral got saved, because I think it was
in ruin when he wrote that book. It was like
in a really bad state of repair. Of course, they
had the revolution and they probably fairly destroyed that during
that one.

Speaker 25 (51:25):
Also, are you talking about the Notre Damn Cathedral.

Speaker 21 (51:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
But yeah, I just wanted to read that, Trevor. But
thank you. It's on my list anyway. Nice to hear
from you. Oh, eight eight eight. I think Napoleon got
what did he get? Did he get inaugurated in the
not to do? What's the word you got when you get?
I don't know why he did something in it. That's

(51:59):
the coronation happened there December four. The cathedral Notts have
done to was to Paris was the stage on which
the coronation of Apollion the first was played out, and
the presence of Pope Pious the seventh, the new emperor,
broke from tradition by crowning himself and pronouncing an oath

(52:20):
guaranteeing the preservation of the gains of the Revolution apparently
too when he did get crowned in the cathedral, it
was just in a state of ruins that the kind
of hand carpets in the abbey to make it look decent.
That's just how it was, Marcus Vogue. Or must be
refrigerated to keep love your show, Marcus, we were told

(52:43):
by country reunerves on the Northern East Coast and under
the Health and Safety Act, due to potential food poisoning,
farmers are prohibitent from allowing Lamb's tales to leave the
farm gatenymore. Also, raw milk is almost non existent. To
get what a pity and other delicacy gone, Marcus. Off
top of our two children got awards at the end
of year school prize giving no better feit them. Been

(53:06):
proud of your children. Has always loved your show. Have
a good break, cheers. Baked beans ten minutes, one melt,
two tablespoons butter and a pan four rereshes bacon, chopped
half onion till brown, stir, add baked beans, add sugar, mustard,
serve over toast, grated cheese on top. I also had
the same thing with vogels. Bread was moldy and dry.

(53:29):
Would open it the next day, next day, still days
before the expiry date. What had a stronger would email?
Had a reply from them with a free voucher for
more vogels, which were surprisingly fresh, thank god. And today
ruin are a bad loaf of bread, a rotten love,
but voguls particularly bad. And the one we had was bad.

(53:49):
I forget what it was. I think it was a Mullenberg,
like a linseed one. It was about two days ago,
two weeks ago we did the moldy Bread show. Marcus
other meteor is going to be a one night spectacle
of what we said a few times. I think it's
a one night spectacle on the weekend. But there's a

(54:09):
full moon, so they'll be hard to see because the
sky will be quite bright. They won't be that effective,
which is a shame. Head or twelve. My name is
Marcus Welcome. I just asked a quite straightforw question. If
you had to choose one, would you choose spaghetti, tin
spaghetti or tin baked beans. The option was not to
choose none. It was if you had to choose one. Ah,

(54:34):
get in touch if you want to be a part
of the show. My name is Marcus Welcome. Hurdle twelve,
seventy three, ninety one, still eighteen behind in the basketball. Oh,
by the way, that's sorry about basketball. This is one
that we have been following.

Speaker 21 (54:52):
Well.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
It's become quite a big story basketball. By this last
update on this, basketball is quickly becoming New Zealand's trendy
aus sport. The surging popularity has been so overwhelming the
basketball and he's in a struggle to keep pace with
the booming demand. The popularity is causing problems all over

(55:14):
the show, according to Dylan Boucher, not just venues for
having coaches, officials, score bench volunteers. It's putting pressure on
the system. There are kids missing out right now, which
is not a nice feeling. That's the other thing about
it too. I imagine it's fairly needy for administrators because
you go to a basketball match, there's more than just

(55:34):
a couple of referees. There's all those people doing the scoring.
It's the second most popular secondary school participations in the
sport in our TIEROA schools. You're right about me saying
that behind netball is expected to become the most popular
by twenty twenty six. So there you go. Not enough

(55:56):
courtse Hi James it's Marcus. Welcome, good a mark Us.

Speaker 12 (56:01):
How's it goin?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Good? Thanks James.

Speaker 12 (56:03):
Yeah, look, I just just say before a bit, hair,
you should probably diversify your portfolio instead of owning a
single Tessela this year. But I was just thinking, if
you look at Nancy Pelosi, who's been in the news
a lot here and her husband about insider trading, it
seems to work over in the US, isn't it. Where
you know, all these government officials have access to more

(56:26):
information and so they buy their shares. And when you
look at eat On musks networth going up by massive
amounts after Trump's election, it seems to work. So I
think you're not stupid for just putting all your money
on eat On Musk, who's now been given government portfolios
over there.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Have you done that?

Speaker 9 (56:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (56:47):
No, I did straight afterwards. Yeah. Yeah, probably should have
done it sooner would have gone way up.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
You put all your money into Tesla stocks.

Speaker 12 (56:56):
I put a lot of my portfolio money in into it.
Not my own like you disposable money, but my portfolio money.
Yet moved that over to Tesla.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
What is that money you've borrowed for shares?

Speaker 12 (57:08):
Oh no, no, it's money that's already in shares. Moved
that over to teslath from other pretty much all my
New Zealand portfolio, moved that over to Tesler.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
You got any bitcoin?

Speaker 4 (57:21):
Ah, a little bit?

Speaker 2 (57:22):
How's that? How's that gone for you?

Speaker 12 (57:26):
I've had it for a couple of years, went down
a big amount and then went back out.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Have you come back out on top?

Speaker 12 (57:37):
I did in bitcoin? Then I started getting into some
smaller stuff. But yeah, that's doing all right, not too
not as well as you'd like. But no, Bitcoin's doing
all right. Yep, But no, it's just the Tesla stuff
and all the insider trading that goes on in the
government over there. I'm okay betting on that, I'd say
anyone would be.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
But if the market knows all about that and the
wisdom of the market, then how's that going to pay
off in the long term? Wouldn't they then become overvalued
because people would be factoring that in? Uh?

Speaker 12 (58:11):
I mean the stock market that's pretty stable. It does
what it always does, right, And if you're following people
like Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
But you understand what I'm their money on it. You
understand what I'm saying don't you.

Speaker 12 (58:29):
Oh, I get what you're saying about how it gets
overvalued when all these people put all their money in it.
And yeah, but that's how bubbles get created. And you
might make the money in the short term and the
long term. If you don't get it put out quick enough,
then it'll pop and you'll lose your money.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
But I suspect the bubbles. I suspect the bubbles are
going to be the bitcoin Bitcoin bubble. I presume that
it's going to be like the the boom of the
you know, the nas deck. She is when was that?
When was the nas deck boom? When that will happen?

Speaker 4 (59:00):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (59:01):
Look, the bitcoin, Yeah, one day it might pop, for
it might not. It depends on the long term policies.
But I'd say bitcoin and the theory, and they're pretty
stable at the moment.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
I don't think you've ever called them stable. They've always
gone up and down.

Speaker 12 (59:16):
Even they oh there gone up and down then, especially
under Trump, who and Kennedy, who's even closer to Trump
now then he would have been otherwise closer to buy them.
They're both quite pro cryptocurrency, and so I'd say that.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Because they've given a huge amount of bitcoin money again
only because they've been I mean they're running into it
because his campaign was funded by crypto, and.

Speaker 12 (59:48):
So what if crypto has got influenced, then crypto will
go up, right, I mean, if you've got Crypto to
go up, if you've got Tesla, or go up over
in America where all the big money is, right, I mean,
you look at our markets there miniscule compared to American
share markets and crypto markets. And so I'd say that
if you're bidding on inside of trading over it, if

(01:00:08):
you're bidding on that other people have more knowledge than
they should, then I'd say that's pretty safe fair because
they get away with it over there, and so I'm
all for it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Yeah, absolutely, come in two years. Hey, let me know
how it's going for you. James Connor, welcome, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:00:25):
Good evening, Marcus, A compliments of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
And you too, Connor. I hope it's going well for you,
and I hope the next ten days is going to
be exciting. What can you tell me, Hey.

Speaker 22 (01:00:34):
An, I've got a good rikipiece of jet that beans
real simple that I grew up with it, you know,
like you know, you make it for you all your boys,
and I'll tell you what I love it, real simple,
just in a bowl baked beans, braided cheese by Famion.

(01:00:57):
But it wall sets the sauce and a pepper and
salt whenever you want mix it in a bowl together
and then put it on voguls and grill it on
the oven.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Brilliant easy.

Speaker 22 (01:01:11):
So because you've always got an onion, and you've always.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Got and you've got an onion, you've got a meal.
As we've always said, that's the best thing I ever
heard on talkback. That's it. You got an onion, you
got a meal.

Speaker 22 (01:01:20):
Yep. I made that recipe when I was about sixteen,
so you know, forty years ago, and because I was
playing so much sport and I had to feed myself
and it was just so I've just made the recipe
up and I abused it ever since. And it's just
so simple but really really hardy as well, because you

(01:01:42):
know you've got to you've got all your protein and carbohydrate,
and I was playing a lot of rugby and you know,
tennis and everything, and you're just so busy, and just
such a really energy rich meal, you know, for a
kid when you need it, when when you're so busy

(01:02:03):
playing so many sports.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Did you give it a name? Color? Just yez?

Speaker 22 (01:02:08):
Don't leans now shift on post because look like unbelievable
weed to call it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Because I shouldn't have asked Connor. Thank you, Wow. I
appreciate your honesty here on midnight. My name is Marcus. Welcome. Hi,
Scott Welcome, he got you there, Scott.

Speaker 24 (01:02:27):
Good evening, Good evening, good evening. I'm just quite curious
that no one's talking about it. Last night, I went
to an a CM to get some cash out in
a gas station just in norm ACM and I got
charge two dollars fifty for the transaction. Now, I heard
that this was happening in Australia, but I didn't realize
it was going to happen so fast to New Zealand.
I think they're making enough money off everyone at the moment,

(01:02:50):
we were obviously struggling quite a bit. I don't mind
a little sort of transaction for i e. Five or
ten cents or something like that. I don't think we'd
worry too much about that. But did all the fifty
at time? It just seems pretty ridiculous. I'm quite surprised
no one's about it or is it just an Awkland
thing or is it happening all around the country.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
How often do you get money out of the gas station?

Speaker 24 (01:03:13):
Well, when you think about it, obviously, if you can't
go to a bank and you work, say night shift
or whatever, and you know your wife needs some money
out of your son or white night, you've got to
get money up from somewhere. And apparently this is going
to be happening around the country because the bank etears
are getting shut down and a few other companies apparently
are starting out their own ATMs to cover them. But

(01:03:35):
they're going to be chatting everyone two dollars fifty your time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Okay, does it? Has the bank said they're shutting down
at ms?

Speaker 24 (01:03:42):
Yeah, apparently it's something news if you read up about it.
Apparently they've already shut I think they had about two
and a half thousand in the country at I think
about a year ago, and I think they're down to
about fifteen hundred. And that's what they're doing because they're
not making enough money out of people taking money out
from eight ms.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Okay, what color was talking about? What color was the machine?

Speaker 24 (01:04:09):
It was a great machine. I think it was still
an MCR machine, which is national cash register. And yeah,
I actually talked with the gas station attendant and he said, oh, sorry,
we've got no cash, we do it for you. You've
got to use a machine, but you will be chage
two dollars and I worked well, surprising, Yeah, I just

(01:04:31):
thought there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Yeah, where I live in Bluff, right, there's no ATM right,
so you can go to the service center and get
money out there, or at the back of the supermarket
there's a scode little machine that costs two dollars seventy
eight or something. Oh wow, if you're desperate, you go there.
So I've always been aware of that, that's been there
for years. But I'm interested that you've actually experienced this

(01:04:57):
because I am reading the private providers are replacing ATMs
around the country. I didn't realize that was happening.

Speaker 24 (01:05:06):
Yeah, correct, Yeah, I just figured it out today as well. Myself.
I knew what was happening in Australia. One of the
major banks over there. I think they were charging five
dollars a transaction.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
But I think I think I think it was three.

Speaker 24 (01:05:17):
Okay, I'm just wondering, you know, where does it stop?
You know, are they going to start doing automatic payments.
Are they going to start chudding us for things like that?
You know, I'm not too sure. Obviously it's not the
banks so much involved. But if the banks starts shutting
down on their machines, it's going to be pretty hard
to get cash out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
But also too most people now, I mean, so many
more of the transactions will be cashless, won't they?

Speaker 26 (01:05:43):
M hm?

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
So you think they'll be You think there'll be this
need for money machines.

Speaker 24 (01:05:50):
All the banks these days. I mean it's both hard
to even go in and put money into your bank.
They'd lean having anyone at your bank. They'd lean even oh,
one hundred much to get in tap with your back.
Seems like we're all sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Yeah, but you say getting out cash for your kids, right?

Speaker 19 (01:06:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Yeah, why do you Why do your kids need cash?

Speaker 24 (01:06:14):
They hit a basketball training session, so they had to
pay upfront for that, so obviously late night, nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Okay, So it's not so have your kids got IF
post cards?

Speaker 18 (01:06:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
Okay, no, So I think that's what people do now,
They give their kids IF post cards because they can
play with that. But that but that's probably a cash
thing for your basketball it's probably all the appearents trends
for your fun, don't they?

Speaker 24 (01:06:37):
Oh for sure, definitely, yeah, yeah, and it is. I
think I might want to extra try and give him
kids IF post cards because they were too young as well.
I think there's an as lioment on those as well.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
I don't think there is. I think you've just got
to go and I think you've got to make an
appointment to go on the bank for money laundering. It
takes an hour. I've got a kid who's eight, and
he's got an IF post card. Oh yeah, yeah, only
because we've got no money in bluff because you got
to go two dollars. And what I want to know, also,
because this happened to me in the weekend, is the

(01:07:12):
place that's got that money machine are they paying? Are
they paying rent to the gas station?

Speaker 24 (01:07:20):
That's the thing I don't know. You and Ocle here,
we've obviously got different FOS machines or ams in the
gas stations. And yeah, there's all types of them. I
think there's three different brands at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Because also worries me that it also worries me that
the oldies will be going to one of those things.
I began a lot of money because of that chat.
The flat fee. It should be a percentage for it's
a flat fee, and now they get robbed.

Speaker 24 (01:07:46):
That's what I'm getting at as well. Yeah, to get
all pinched out and whatnot, you know one lump son Yes, yeah, anyway,
I just thought it was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Quite According to the banking expert, people were using less cash,
which meant banks or less need to provide at ms
and could not justify the cost. So it looks like
ATMs are disappearing.

Speaker 24 (01:08:09):
Yeah, and it's a thanks for shutting out earlier, or
branches are going away faster than we could count. You know,
are we all going to start getting chips on our
rest and starting to have to scare those?

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
So that's a sensible thing to say. I'd love a
chip on my wrist. Was there a bank nearby? Could
have you gone to an ATM machine outside of bank?
Was that possible for you?

Speaker 17 (01:08:33):
Sure?

Speaker 24 (01:08:34):
I was pouring now when Rainer was nine. At nine,
I thought like the quick, easy way was just getting
out of the gas station.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Okay, you can't play bitcoin, can you? If your kids basketball,
maybe you can. It's a really good point Scott's made,
and thank you for canvassing that Scott loved that. It's
a lot to fifty, isn't it. I wonder how much
money of those machines are making. Will they get fifty
transactions a day? One hundred? But I don't know what
the rents are. Someone will know soon. All working a

(01:09:00):
guessie Scott Marcus, welcome, good day, has a gun. Just
by the way, people, this is a different Scott. There's
two Scott's in a row. I haven't the same guy twice.

Speaker 27 (01:09:08):
Welcome Scott, hey hey, Just following on from other Scott
About the banks. I think their banks are going really
down hell over years. I mean, they keep shunning their
branches in small towns and so forth. And I mean,
for example, my dad old of these days, and he's
not very ticks. He he never has, they never will be.
But I mean if he goes a tried deposit money

(01:09:31):
as another bank account, they won't even help him do it.
They say that I know that actually do it fine,
So I need to get someone myself to do it
on the internet. He really struggles, even like going to
buy a car or something else. He really struggles about
to do it. Yeah, and it's not as full that
he's not the speech.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
You's older.

Speaker 27 (01:09:49):
But I think banks are declining with their customer service.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
To be honest, of course they are because there's les
money and remember old his love chicks.

Speaker 27 (01:10:00):
Definitely, But I mean even for an example, I mean
on credit cards, I can understand the search from that.
Well that's onpos payWave. I don't think there should be
an expense on that, you know. I mean, it's not
changing whose money that's paying for. It's not using the banks,
may you crew? So I don't understand why I wish

(01:10:21):
to pay the s charge.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Well, not nothing you can do about. It's got as
numbers you can do about it, is there because you
have got.

Speaker 27 (01:10:27):
To Well, well that's the same I refuse to yway,
I'll just swipe it, you know. I mean it doesn't
take much just.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
To do it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
But that's what you're saying.

Speaker 27 (01:10:36):
But I mean, is there really a charger they need
to charge us for using our own money? You know,
either way we're using a card, we're using their cards,
you see what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
But the retailers don't like it. That's why they're charging
for payWave.

Speaker 27 (01:10:49):
Yeah, I don't know. I think that's so I've gone
backwards with a customer service and so forth.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
And I think everyone agrees with you, Scott, because he's
not the money and it's so much anymore.

Speaker 27 (01:11:01):
But are they not making record profits for the one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
Yeah, but that's why they are, because they're closing everything
down and people can do it online, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
I feel for your father, Thanks Scott, Pete Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:11:13):
Again, Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:11:16):
Just regarding the the ATM machines and that I don't
want to use the word that we're getting screwed over
in this country full stop.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
You're allowing yourself to get screwed over. Pete, Well, you
go to these stupid idea machines to charge money, how
boycott them?

Speaker 28 (01:11:39):
I don't get charged. I got a TSP account and
that also a ki Bank account, and I don't If
you use those banks, you don't get any feeds.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Okay, so you're not going So you're not getting screwed.

Speaker 13 (01:11:51):
Over if you go.

Speaker 28 (01:11:54):
If you want to go and use the Australian banks,
go for because that's we all know, even if Nichola
Willison knows that we're getting done over by the Australian banks.
So if you change your banks, go to Kiwi Bank
or the TSP Bank, so we're not getting ripped off
by these overseas banks and the screen at all. The
people don't realize that all the banks are all closed.

(01:12:14):
That makes them megaprofits. As we all know, people I
have cash quite a bit. I go to hospice shops,
I go to markets and what have you. I encourage
people using cash as much as you can, because even
the reserve banks in the other day, it's always going
to be part of our legal tenor in New Zealand,

(01:12:35):
and we're never going to get rid of it. Even
in Finland now because it's a bit different again of
course it's happened in Russia and that they aren't making
it compulsory that there must be cash at all times
in the country if.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
You have it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Pete, we're talking about the decline of if pass machines
and a ten machines around the country. You've come in
on a whole different angle, haven't you. You've kind of
done topic creep and talk about they've got to keep
cash and everything like that out there. But you know,
we are talking about the number of machines that have disappeared.

Speaker 28 (01:13:09):
The reason why because the banks are as you said,
before you said some many people just said they're starting
to charge us all these feet. The more you can
use those machines, I think they might say, hey, yes, people,
but the more you can use use cash for buying groceries.
There's a lot of elderly people do. And then I
listened to your shows quite a bit, and a lot
of elderly people they know computers savvy, they have no

(01:13:30):
idea to use computers. A lot of banks all it
is greed market. You're gonna ad it. The banks have
got greedy. It's about time you sit up to them.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
We're getting you won't stand up to them, pet you're all.

Speaker 28 (01:13:40):
Talk Well, we all have to go maybe go down
to parliament or something and do something we did.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
You when did you? Let's go to parliament. This is
just talk back. This is just talk back bravado. That's true, though,
is what You won't do anything, You won't stand up
to anything. You just talk about it.

Speaker 28 (01:14:01):
More people talked about it. A lot of people don't.
We like sheeping New Zealand. We just roll over and
put up with.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
But I don't know what the way is because I've
probably got four hundred texts from people that have said,
they've got their machines been taken away. They charging them
two dollars fifty is.

Speaker 28 (01:14:15):
Everywhere, So that's what maybe getting screwed over again. So
about the time the government stepped in and say this
is enough. The government has to do something as well,
because right now as the banks is.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Just I just do you think do you think the
current government showing leadership?

Speaker 28 (01:14:34):
Some ways they are some ways out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
And which ways are they showing leadership?

Speaker 15 (01:14:41):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
When was the last time? When was the last time
you saw Luxon acting like a leader?

Speaker 28 (01:14:49):
I think he's not too bad.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
When did you see it? When was the last time
you saw him acting like a leader? Bow screening?

Speaker 28 (01:14:58):
Say that again?

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Talk about bow screening. When he promises lower to the
forty five's did you see him today talking about that?
It's not gonna happen this too.

Speaker 28 (01:15:07):
Yeah, In some ways he's sort of a yeah. Some
ways it's a bit of full of air, and he
doesn't sort of it what's the word for it. He
doesn't sort of follow on through a lot of things.
So it's very cunning how he goes about doing things.
He uses off side as to do his dirty work
for him.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Brilliant. Thanks Pete, it's not a cross stuff. Terry Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:15:32):
Yes, good evening. I'd like to tell the public that
the traveling public over in Europe a very nice, handy
little hint. Using the ATMs over there, you often get
a screen full of gobbly book come up, which can
basically in your if you've chosen English, it will tell
you do you accept the charges of between thirteen and

(01:15:56):
fifteen even eighteen euros to get your two or three
hundred euros out?

Speaker 15 (01:16:03):
And I the.

Speaker 16 (01:16:04):
First time I was over there, it sounds like I'm
a jet, said, I am certainly not. But something drew
me over there in Spain, and I said, and I
found out something. And so it comes up yes or no,
and you think, oh, well, if I press no, I'm
not going to get my money. Press no and the

(01:16:24):
screen will go away. Then it will come up again
and the same thing ask you a second time, Press
no again, and then the machine starts the fire up.
After a little pause, you get your money out, and
you charge the normal interest rate of about three to
eight euros. And they want your confirmation that they're charging

(01:16:48):
you so much through a second person that they need
you to press yes. I will pay that or they're
in the poop. And so if you keep pressing no
twice then everything comes right. You get your money, and
it is that easy. So don't be afraid. If you

(01:17:08):
see that screen overseas that come up, just press note
and let it come up. Press it again and everything
comes right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
Although that's what we talk about, we talk about the
local money machines that women chat which seems to be
a lot of topic crip going on, so people have
got something to say about this particular topic. I would
like to hear from your twenty five past ten Sharky Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:17:29):
Welcome, do you hat mate?

Speaker 17 (01:17:34):
The whole thing is as a set up by the
one thing government tat is cash because you cannot track cash.
You know, you don't know what people are going to
use cash for or really take from, you know, the
ten heads to hand government take that. What I've seen

(01:17:58):
is the banking system, the co and the the money
machines get there disappearing, and now you've got some company
wanting to take on being the money machines and.

Speaker 15 (01:18:15):
That card and that.

Speaker 17 (01:18:16):
Machine, or you do a transaction with the next mosque
or anything like that, they've got you on the system.
Where you were exactly at that how much you've seen
uhh what whereas with cash they don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Okay, shirky, you're seeing a conspiracy. But what's basically happening
is people using ATM machines a lot less, so banks
are getting rid of them. They pay a huge rent
for them to go into malls and stuff like that,
so they've got rid of them or started charging people
for them. That's all that's happened.

Speaker 17 (01:18:54):
Yeah, but you friend of about it. What when those
windows machines are all gone, it's cash gone. You you
won't go to go to the money machine get the
cash out because there won't be no money machine to
get the bo it's. And yeah, I know you're going
on about a conspiracy theory market.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
But no, you know you're going about the conspiracy theory.
You said, Oh, they're trying to get rid of This
is the banks. Banks are making commercial decision. They reckon
red for f POSS machines could be one hundred thousand
dollars per machine in a mall, so they're paying that
and they're hard to get.

Speaker 17 (01:19:31):
But in the bigger picture, it's the creep of total fury.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Inness well with private banking with private banking companies.

Speaker 17 (01:19:41):
You see, you'd be quite happy to have a chip
in your hands or a arm whatever. That's the thing
that's leading us down the streets. Like we could go
and stand up against the bank.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
But you know what, you're right, hang hang hang on,
hang on, sharky. They put out in the f post
card that you can wear around your wrist. That's a
good idea. You're not going to lose it. I don't
have a them or that. Do you know what totalitarianism is?

Speaker 17 (01:20:10):
Oh? Yeah, it's a central control system that controls everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
It's government, it's centralized government. We're talking about private banks,
Australian banks. That's not totalitarianism, that's capitalism. They're trying to
maximize their profits for their shareholders.

Speaker 17 (01:20:26):
But don't you think that when capitalism comes rules as
leadership and rule ruling, you know, for people in charge
who rules. It's a system that's designed to eventually do
away with cash. And then we're yeah, you know, you know,

(01:20:47):
I'm getting too old to really be able to do
anything about it, because what am I going to do?
Maybe another twenty years of life. And I think in
that twenty years, every single change, because you just only
need to look at the last twenty years how far.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
But shaky wise, every getting into bitcoin. Why is everyone
using online banking because it's so much easier, it's so
much more convenient. People do it because it's convenient.

Speaker 17 (01:21:15):
Bit Coin fingers breed Okay, they want to make money, Okay,
so they gain credit. You know, that makes your credit
worth more than your credit because you don't have bitcoins.
So that's what that's about. But at the end of
the day, whatever's their summer is compete to yourself. It's

(01:21:36):
still controlled by someone higher up the chain.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Yeah, I think I think we have a really good
discussion about ATMs charging for money and how people get
around it. But as soon as we start saying it's
the government trying to ban cash and stuff, you've got
to look at the evidence. You can't just throw everything
at this one. This is a really deare problem. But
the texts I've got people are really concerned about this.
But we've got to discuss the problem, not try and

(01:22:04):
chuck all sorts of words at it. Just got an
email for the ben Zaid. They said they're providing an
ATM for at one of our local malls are crossing
a great service in a safe environment for drawing out cash, Chairs, Heather,
will it be free? Banks make big dollars, Yes they do, Marcus.
This is an outrage. We should never be charged to

(01:22:25):
take money out from an ATM. Refuse to use these ATMs.
You have that, you have that choice. Banks are getting greedy,
long waits on calls and nothing resolved most of the time.
Too many hont chows up top with their noses in
the trough. Yeah, but their private companies, they can do
what they want. Marcus, Great topic, banks, I over to it.

(01:22:50):
Great topic, banks. I think we shall go back to
cash only. I've just started cash cash. I live in Renwick, Marlboro.
Our local soup bag is an ATM installed in charges
two fifty per transaction. Nearest banks are on blend him
twenty minutes away, Chairs, John at Eastgate. More than they
took away two bank machines and put in a machine
that charges three twenty to take money out. Marcus. I

(01:23:12):
went to my local shopping center a couple of months ago,
and two out of three machines want to charge me
two dollars fifty. They're previously free, Marcus. They used to
be in all them alls paying about one hundred one
hundred k per animum rent. But now they've all been
removed unless it's collected to a bank branch. Marcus. I
went to New World mart and Martin today and I

(01:23:33):
was charged two fifty for taking out one hundred bucks.
First time ever, and I've used it frequently. The machine
is in the fur of the New World. I live
in a village and offer read cash for activities. They're
loving your show. It should be a percentage charge would
be fairer, Marcus. When banks were stopped from charging for
non customers use of their ATMs, there was a race

(01:23:55):
by banks to pull out to safe paying rent. Now
they've been replaced by non bank ATMs that charged two
fifty to withdraw money. There are ATMs that used to
be charge be taken over by a company that charges
the fee. Best to use your own banks eight m.
You don't normally know, but I guess the best thing
is you always get a warning. Good evening, Jeff, it's Marcus, welcome, Hello,

(01:24:20):
Hi Jeff.

Speaker 6 (01:24:21):
Yeah no, I just wring a put few of you
straight on on these ATMs and service stations, and in
hotels as well. In tevens. These people have to hold
a larger amount of cash and they have to fill

(01:24:43):
those the private ATMs worth kesh, And that's the two
point fifty is just to charge they charge for the
service they provide.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
I think everyone realizes that. But they used to the
banks just to have a lot more ATM machines that
were a lot more accessible, okay, and they've shut down
the number the numbers they've shut down are kind of drastic.

Speaker 6 (01:25:12):
Right well, where where where I look out in Rolston,
there's three big ATMs that you can go to that
doesn't cost you anything as well as you're going to
your own one.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
I think the figure the figures say in twenty eleven
there were two four eighty nine bank owned ATMs that
dropped to fourteen forty in the last year. And while
most banks no longer charge of fee for a drawing
cash at another bank's EIGHTM, the privately run machines often
change about two fifty or two eighty per transaction. There

(01:25:51):
must have been some legislation that stops banks been able
to charge for withdrawing cash and other banks atm. I
don't know too much about that, but someone might have
some information. Oh yes, the guy from the reserve banks said,
The move by be Thanks to stop charging the fee
to other bank customers has led to reduction in ATM numbers.

(01:26:12):
I kind of means they would have come up with
that themselves. Die Marcus, welcome, Oh hello.

Speaker 29 (01:26:19):
Marcus, let's die.

Speaker 17 (01:26:21):
Look.

Speaker 29 (01:26:21):
I can understand there will be a lot of people
who still use a bit of cash and they get
upset that. You know, it makes it harder for them
if there's no if poff or ATMs or they're cutting
them back. But you know, one thing that we can
just take heart with is you know when we get
our groceries. I mean, no one likes to be charged

(01:26:43):
in an ATM machine for a transaction. I think that's
really a bit off. But you know, it's life. Whatever
they do, we don't have much control over. But you know,
something to bear in mind, especially for oldies or people
who you know, feel a bit worried about it. We
can still get out cash when we get out our groceries.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Yeah, they charge for that or is there a limit?

Speaker 29 (01:27:08):
Sometimes No, I haven't seen. I'll often get either fifty
or one hundred or whatever, a couple of hundred, but okay,
you know, so it's just in case, like you want
to like a board an onion for dollar fifty the
other day, and you know, sort of it's just to
have a little bit of cash or something if you

(01:27:29):
really need to have cash on hand, yep, for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
And i'd like to talk more about it. That's still
happening if people, if any supermarkets are charging for because
I presume supermarkets are quite happy to get rid of
the cash.

Speaker 17 (01:27:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (01:27:43):
The supermarket's been fine, you know, and I've never seen
any charge on it. And it's just simple, you know.
So in terms of security for oldies, there's someone there,
there's an assistant there if they have trouble or whatever.
If it doesn't work, you know, they've got help on hand.

(01:28:04):
So it's just a small glimmer of hope.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Thank you, that's what we're looking for. Helen. Hello, it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:28:09):
Welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:28:09):
Yes, Yes, good evening. I just wanted to pick up
on something what you've said about people ringing talkback and
enough not to actually doing anything and everything everybody just
rolling over and accepting, accepting all these things happening. I
hadn't been in this country very long before Roger Douglas
started all that. I was just completely amazed how just

(01:28:31):
kind of people just rolled over and accepted it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
Well, there's not much. There's not much you can do
about banks charging for ATMs. I mean, you can change banks,
but I don't know, I don't know what not. Everyone's
got TSB Bank. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:28:43):
Well, I've approached Gray Power to be a bit more
proactive about what's happening with the banks, and nobody seems
to be interested in doing anything anymore. Like you've got
all these disability organizations and they're all so splintered, and
they just just don't do anything, you know, like you've
got like they've just closed down. Practically every week we

(01:29:05):
hear about another just closing down. And nobody from these
organizations except about one, I think the rare diseases or
Peter Peter Reynolds or something standing up. Everybody's silenced. I've
tried to kind of motivate.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Helen bit of topic creep going on here. Have you
noticed what's going on with the ATM machines. Has that
affected you?

Speaker 18 (01:29:26):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:29:26):
Yes, no, I noticed that's happening. But like just just
for instance, like to d of, they've got rid of
writing for the disabled and star jam and those that's unforgivable.
I mean yeah. I mean, it's just a whole lot
of stuff happening.

Speaker 22 (01:29:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
Well, we're in a session, are we in a recession?
I thought Winston Peters this has been a good thing
for him to take on about the ATM charges because
it will affect a lot of people, because two fifty
is not an insignificant amount of money, particularly getting out
ten dollars. That's twenty five percent cauld You get out
ten dollars or twenty dollars is probably the minimum, now,
is it. I would really go to an ATM machine.

(01:30:05):
It was only because we had the bluff Christmas fear,
and I thought I wanted to spend some money on
the quick draw, but I couldn't be bothered. I gave
the kids some money for food, but all the food
was free there anyway, So it's kind of Tally's big
gesture for the year, free ice team, free chips. So

(01:30:29):
the kids didn't want any money, and I ended up
playing a video game when you've got to kick a goat.
It wasn't pleasant neither. What was that one called that
was weird? Anyway? Topic that one from Scott about the
a charging for ATMs, because I just thought it was
at that Scolu little machine we have in our four score,
which I hate. Bluff needs an ATM. We've got tourists,
We've got all sorts of stuff, but the banks won't

(01:30:49):
put it there.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
I don't think there's one in the post office. Is
a Kiwi bank thing down? I think they give you
money if you ask for it over the Never quite
sure what goes on there, John, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 30 (01:31:01):
Yeah, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
John?

Speaker 12 (01:31:03):
Thank you Marcus.

Speaker 30 (01:31:05):
I don't use cards. I don't pay online. I always
use cash and I get cash out. I might get
three hundred dollars out four hundred whatever my budget is,
because I know that if the money's in my waters
in cash, as soon as that money's gone, that's it.
That's all the money I've got for that budget. It's
very hard to control or check or track how much

(01:31:27):
money I'm spending if I'm using a card.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Sure, how do you get your three hundred dollars? What
did you say three hundred dollars or is it the
amount you said?

Speaker 30 (01:31:37):
Yeah? I just go to my bank's ATM, take out
three hundred dollars, break it down and break it down
into smaller denominations, So.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
You have got a gu See you don't have cards,
but you have got a card.

Speaker 30 (01:31:45):
F I'll get an ATM card, but I don't pay
things through the card or through an f pods machine.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
So just get your cash. And then doesn't it drive
your man? How much shrapnel you're in that worth?

Speaker 30 (01:31:57):
No, I might get twenty or thirty dollars of coins.
The rest is in load denominations or whatever. I cash stuff, though,
have you head of that? I can. I'll I'll have
a folder and envelopes, and I just put money in
on a regular basis for different things, and it just
builds up. So it's a form of compulsory savings for
whatever I want to do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
But you're not getting interest on it?

Speaker 30 (01:32:21):
Not getting interested? I mean, what's sort of interest you're
going to get on three hundred dollars anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Well more how much of your caching stuff?

Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:32:30):
I might have four or five different envelopes. One might
be for car expenses, one might be for power bill,
one might be for insurances, one might be for something else.
I just stick twenty bucks a week into each of
each of those envelopes, and when they talk, when that
jew I've got the money there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
Okay, sounds like a complicated way for me to do it.
But because surely if you said nef postcard, you wouldn't
spend any more money than your head because it wouldn't
allow you to do it.

Speaker 30 (01:33:01):
Well. I find that if I overspend by using the
cattle time, then I may spend too much and my
automatic payments may not come out, or most direct gifts
come out.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
Could they be ring fence at a different account, maybe, but
that would be administration probably that would cost you more
to do that.

Speaker 17 (01:33:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:33:20):
I just work on a budget, a strict budget, and
I just take out what I need for the week.
Once that money's gone, that's gone for the week, and
then I have to wait for the following week.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Or whatever works for you makes sense to me. John,
nice to hear from you. We're just heading the news
up here on midnight. Jim stand along after twelve. No,
it's not Friday. He's filling in on it. Well, he's
in on a Thursday, filling in. Would you call that
they've moved him forward. They've moved him forward. I guess
that's what you're supposed to say. Get in touch. It's

(01:33:52):
all about the ATM it's very interesting topic. You've been
topic rich this week, haven't we. I work at Countdown.
We have two self service checkouts where you can pay
by card or cash. They also give cash out at
no extra charge. I was always telling the early customers
to come and get the cash out from us if

(01:34:12):
they didn't like standing an atm. You don't have to
buy anything to get the cash out. I've got a thought.
Because we've got ATMs, we've got automatic cash out at
our Yeah, that's what I should be doing next time.
Because at our four square we've got self checkout, so
that's really be bitter get the cash out from there
rather than paying two fifty at the machine at the
back of the four square. But they don't need to
buy something. Oh we always need to buy something that's

(01:34:38):
going to be a much too that. I'm glad we've
had this discussion. This has been very worthwhile for me.
Marcus withdrew cash from the self service war with Gisbon
today no charge. Withdrew one hundred dollars two dollar dates.
Unable to get that change into anything smaller next time,
might withdraw two lots of forty five to get smaller change.
Great idea Marcus, supermarket should not charge for withdrawing cash

(01:35:02):
from the self served check out because the less cash
they have to back, the less the cash had fears.
So you are in fact doing them a favor by
taking the cash and reducing the bank charges. There you go,
because the old days, if you asked for cash over,
oh you're gonna get some cash, but had to sign
a thing that was a bit of a pilava or it.

(01:35:24):
I'm into this, good evening, Sue, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:35:28):
Oh hello, Marcus. Just talking about the demise of ATMs
and just cash in general. We're fortunate we are in
a rural town, but we do have our bank still
has ATMs. And when I've been in Australia this year,

(01:35:49):
I was able to tap and go, but I had
to be careful, but I would get out of certain
amounts for the week and I just had cash to
avoid charges because I had to be over there. But
the bigger conversation for me is, with all those changes
and so much going on line and tap and go,
what does that doing for us educating our children on

(01:36:12):
the value of the dollar and the concept of money.
And one of the things that we used to do
as parents with our children is you've probably heard the
concept before the three little jars self, savings and others,
And so we'd give them coins, give them three coins
each week, and that would lead to conversations about, oh,
there's a lot in self, but what were you know,

(01:36:35):
what are you thinking about savings? You know, is there
something that you want to save for? And the other
one when we do others that's charitable things. So they
go and get their coins out and we would go
to the supermarket, you know when you donate to food
banks and things. We would go to the supermarket. The
children would have their coins, their money from that jar

(01:36:56):
to choose the can or the thing that they wanted
for food banks. So it's a bigger you know, like
the cash. Actually you can have a bigger conversation with
the kids and they really grasp the concept of money
and the value of verse and they've always had their
own money. And that's sort of thing I think when

(01:37:16):
we tap and go and we just do this easy
sort of zip that you know, we lose we're losing
something in teaching, teaching it for the the for children
and in our young adults and how they handle money.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Although yeah, I guess that you're saying, what's doing with
teaching kids the content concept of money? I guess the
content of money is really changed. It's not something tangible anymore.
It's just something that it is, so yeah, something that's
represented electronically.

Speaker 14 (01:37:44):
They're growing up in a digital age and so it
is hard. Yeah, so how do you navigate that? I mean,
our children are adults and now young adults now, and
they're quite good with money, and they understand and they
they always understood that, well, having money gives them choices.
Having money, their own money when they go out with
their friends, avoided any pressure or you know, some of

(01:38:09):
those a little pitfall.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
Maybe. Another school of thought is that if you actually
get them into electronic money straight away, then you're actually
teaching them about electronic money and how it all works
these days.

Speaker 29 (01:38:22):
Yeah, I did.

Speaker 14 (01:38:22):
It's a bit beyond me. I'm in the fifties now,
I think, Hell, hell would I do that?

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
Well, you just get you just get a kid and
if possible, shit and if post coat I suppose, and
that's where their money goes and then they can look
at the balance and they can check it out in
the air.

Speaker 14 (01:38:38):
Well, they're educating me about shares and different ways of investing,
so it's slipped. So I guess you know there's that
side as well, But no, I just I was just thinking.
I was thinking, Oh that all these demise of ATMs
or those conversations, and everyone says, oh, you've got to
get with the times. I think, how do you how
do you teach your kids the concept the bigger concept

(01:39:01):
of money and the value and where it goes and
what you're doing with it.

Speaker 5 (01:39:04):
So yeah, that was just what I was, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
Nice to hear from you, Suth, Thank you for that.
Fourteen past eleven. Pay for the convenience to get your
own money out of exclamation mark exclamation a right exclamation appe.
If you are paying from mortgage, the bank always asks
why are you getting the cash out of ATM? If
you do with the super market self service, it just
looks like a grocery payment. Aha, there you go. Welcome people.

(01:39:30):
Fourteen past eleven, Marcus till twelve oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty nine to nine to Texas. Be hearing from there.
Something else you want to talk about or about these things?
Would love to get your input tonight. So has it
become a real I mean, we're hearing tonight a lot
more about it, about the fact that you've got to
pay now to get your money. How is that affecting people?

(01:39:53):
I'd like to hear more about that. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty because it's two fifteen hours too eighty eight.
They can always put it up also, and now, of course,
ke it's going to be partially privatized. They're going to
sell five hundred million dollar share of that bank. They're

(01:40:18):
saying it's not an air set sale, but it will
be privately owned. But the support because that could compete
better with the Aussie banks. I guess Hi, Marcus wanted
to give my take on why basketball will soon be
the most played sport in New Zealand. I'm all about
American sports for most part. The big headline the other
day was the signing of Juan Sato from the Yankees

(01:40:41):
to cross Rval Crosstown Rather the Mets fifteen year contract
seven hundred and sixty five million dollars with no salary cap,
and Major League Baseball in the NBA have to wonder
how long this gonna be sustainable. It's been widely predicted
that the highest paid NBA players will soon be uning
one million per regular season game, which is unheard of.

(01:41:06):
It's no surprise ready that basketball is so popular using
specially it's American collegiate players for both men and women,
can now earn via the NIL concept, name, image and likeness.
Steven Adams, now with the Houston Rockets, played only one
season of college ball and got drafted the Association. He's
proven the path the riches is attainable with hard work

(01:41:27):
and focus. Today he's made over US one seventy million
news in a two nine to three million in his
playing career, not including endorsement money. If I had young children,
I'd be encouraging and giving them the opportunity to train
up in basketball, baseball or even American footballers throughout our
pathways for international athletes to cash. And it's mind blowing

(01:41:51):
how much money is out there, particularly American sports with
TV rights and more recently legalized gambling and driving the
market exponentially, exponentially right from a financial perspective of our
original KIV sports just can't compete in terms of earning
a professional athlete. Just today, many were outraged that Saudi

(01:42:11):
were awarded the twenty thirty four feet for World Cup
despite their poor human whites record. End of the day, Marcus,
everyone has their price. The guy's emailing from Melbourne, not
looking forward to work on Monday. Forecast Melbourne forty plus.

Speaker 21 (01:42:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
I think people also mainly were concerned about how many
people were going to die for the building of the
cities where that football stadium is going to be. Just
like in Qatar, Ortho, I think people quite like the
World Cup there, although it seemed pretty lack clusters. He
didn't really get the You didn't really get the sense
that the country was behind it, did you. But they

(01:42:57):
all took their money and they went over there and
they said how great it all was. Yeah, Terry, Hello,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 31 (01:43:05):
Yeah him.

Speaker 26 (01:43:07):
I saw on news earlier or even he's seen about
Saudi Arabia being given the hosting right, and you know
how the human rights groups are up in arms and
and and they would have happened the same with Qatar
and when they got the hosting rights. But there's there's

(01:43:27):
nothing much that can be done. I mean, Gianni and Santina,
he's you know, he's at the top guy, and he
wants Asia and all that to be in Asian countries.
Like South Korea and all that, and Japan have hosted
and and that's good, but he's I know, the human
rights records, aren't you know, are a topic that people

(01:43:51):
always talk about when this happens. But I don't think
there's much that can be done. It is all about,
you know, money and when Sadi Arabia builds their stadium,
so I'll get most of their workers from Africa. And
I'm not sure how many Africans died in the building
of the stadiums and guitar, but it was doumentary.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
I thought most of those workers came from Pakistan and Asia.

Speaker 26 (01:44:19):
Yeah, I okay, Well, if a documentary came out he
called the Worker's Cup, which I didn't see, so but
I thought that a lot of them did come from Africa.
But I'll have to care. I don't know all the details.
But yeah, there was a documentary, but there's nothing. It's

(01:44:40):
all big business and who's in power, and the players
just want to play. I don't think they really getting
I mean, Beckham was staff when the World Cup and guitar.
He said, the great thing about having that in guitar
was that you could go to three games in one day.
You know, because it's such a small place. And and

(01:45:02):
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
I think though the places, places with questionable regimes love
to have warm, fuzzy sport experiences because it gives the
country a good vibe. It sport washing, that's what they
call it, because they go and get these events and feeling, oh,
it can't be such a bad place to look at
that great football World Cup we watched.

Speaker 26 (01:45:21):
Yeah, I think I don't think people are naive. I
think they think it's a great place if people who
go there have got lots of money, whether they're from
the free you know, from the Western Nations or other
Asian nations or wherever. But I don't they think, well,
what can they do? You get involved politically then sort

(01:45:44):
of get you get so you could get into trouble.
I mean, people are most mostly self protective, So I think,
you know, it's just go to the game, spend their
money and then go home.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
Yeah, but you've still got to You've still got to
publicize the human rights record in Saudi Arabia, don't you
you know? I think we're on Is it just that
woman drive, haven't they?

Speaker 26 (01:46:10):
Yes, Well, it's change comes. If change comes to a country,
it comes from within. You know, that's basically how our
country will we change.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
You're got to be a bit careful about it because
look at the Arab Spring that happened in Syria where
they had changed. There were protests and then there was
fifteen years of fifteen years of Assad's regime torturing and
killing people. So they're very brave Syria REGI tried to
change that regime.

Speaker 26 (01:46:39):
Yeah, and they have now and he's gone to Moscow.

Speaker 2 (01:46:44):
But now that will just go to civil war like Libya,
and there'll be revenge and there'll be a million you know,
there won't be peace and Syria anytime soon, that is,
Syria will become a will come up, will be hopeless for.

Speaker 21 (01:46:57):
Years, I know.

Speaker 26 (01:46:59):
And now actually there's a lot of the groups that
have taken over want to and want to get Jerusalem.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
So you can't just say only the way that regime
change can come from within. There's also got to be
international criticism and condemnation from people, you know, to do
with capital punishment, to do with yeah, I mean, you
know there's a pity nasty stuff going on there.

Speaker 5 (01:47:25):
Yeah, Well we don't worry. Tramp will sort them all out.
So you know, you'll make sure that it won't affect
the or it won't affect America or the West. All
the bad guys will get you know, they're come up
and so to speak. You know there were no wars
and Trump was in between twenty and sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Okay, thanks Dery twenty six pass. What's the thing to say?
Eighty Tenadian nine nine to text if you want to
come through Marcus. I live in a small town and
we don't have any banks. We have three eighty machines,
but no charge for cash out. I wonder why that works, Treush,
what is that small town?

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
Is a few years bank? I spend a lot of
time in Twyzel for work. Twyzel only had an eighty
and a NDD eightm I bank with whist Pac and
was charged at two point fifty disloyalty fee using the
twyzal eightym. The other job option was to drive an
hour to Feeley's wist pack. So we're talking about ATMs

(01:48:27):
and the fact that more and more how of them
are charging? I think the number of ATMs is just
about halved. This is not good, and so the other
ones are taking up the slack at your gas stations
and your mauls and stuff. They are a little squad
orange ones I think. But they're charging twot fifty a go.
That's not good because you're paying to get access to

(01:48:51):
your own money, which when it's in the bank, the
banks are lending out for a higher rate than they're
charging you for interest. Yet they charge you, well, they
actually charge you to get it. There's private companies that
actually provide that service, so they're probably not getting the banks,

(01:49:12):
probably aren't getting any money for that. But there's just
fewer machines than they used to be because obviously less
and less people using f pods because so much of
the transactions are now gone electronic. Good evening, Denise, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 31 (01:49:26):
Oh hello Marcus. Actually, it's really strange to bring up
about the ATM machines because just in the last fortnight
I've suddenly become aware, you know, that there is a
scarcity of them.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Well, I think it seems to have. I think a
lot of them machines seem to have started charging just
within the last couple of weeks, so I guess, yeah,
it seems.

Speaker 18 (01:49:43):
To be happening.

Speaker 31 (01:49:45):
Yeah, and there's a lot of them have taken a
lot of the major banks have removed their ATM machines,
but I think there could be a problem because what's
the banks They used to sort of have them in
their head officers, some of them be monitoring their own
ATM machines throughout the country, and if they were running out,
you know, I think they put about used to about

(01:50:06):
twenty five thousand and each machine at a time, there
would be a security firm that they would notify that
would go on, you know, whatever, I say, look such
and such a machine, and they would then go and
fill them up.

Speaker 26 (01:50:19):
You know.

Speaker 31 (01:50:19):
It was sort of seem to be a very twenty
four hour service almost. But the other day I sort
of went out and it was one of the private
ATM machines out at the Surfer Market more where I
usually shop, and I didn't have any cash, and I
normally draw out three or four hundred dollars cash in habit,
but I do use my card at the Surfer Market,

(01:50:39):
and I thought, oh, that Jolie is saying I needed
some money and it was empty out of order. I thought, no,
you know, and I think that's I thought to myself, Gosh,
this was going to be a bit of a problem,
you know, when people get busy over Christmas, they want
to be sort of aware that a lot of these
machines are sort of running out and not being topped up,

(01:51:01):
you know, as they were possibly before was the security
guys Evans would come around. But and I don't use
payWave apart from at the supermarket. I'll use it, but
if I'm am going to use my cartin it's a
smaller business, you've got to be careful, you know, You've

(01:51:22):
got to be aware that you are paying a fee
every time you use payWave at a small firm and
some of them have actually got no payWave on their
at M.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
So you know, have you worked in denise, have you
worked in banking? Because you know, yeah, okay, so ATMs
and have twenty five thousand dollars in them, and well
it was then, yeah, I probably probably double that now.
And when someone's an ATM machine, is there someone monitoring
that on a video screen that can look at people
and what they're doing there?

Speaker 31 (01:51:57):
I don't know about I think well, I think they
do film, yes there, but I don't think there's anyone monitoring.

Speaker 2 (01:52:03):
Okay, But it was just that. But the point that
it wants to be the point I want to clarify, Denise,
is when you've got security cards topping up money and stuff,
they must be a cost to run. They must be
a high cost to run. Certainly, Yes, the banks want
to get rid of as many as they can, but
I know, because they're providing a service, but they're making
no money out of them at all.

Speaker 31 (01:52:24):
No, they they used to sort of be a feed
early on with them. But was there well, I don't know,
well for some a council maybe there wasn't. But I
mean they had become free. But some of the private ones,
saying clubs i've for some time, you know, you knew
you've paid two dollars to use them. But the ones

(01:52:48):
that they've got that are private, the owner, they don't
seem to have a charge to use them.

Speaker 2 (01:52:54):
The ones that are oh you know, no, yeah, but yeah,
I think the good thing is well, if it is
a good thing. If the ones that do charge you,
it seems as though because of lead legislation, they are
forced to tell you that they are charging you. M M.

Speaker 31 (01:53:11):
I think I think probably people want to be where
that it gets busy for the holiday period. You know,
there could be a bit of a squeeze on cash
if you're not careful, I mean, you know, yeah, just
a thought.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
I would thought they have. I would thought they'd have.
Are you Are you an earthquake person? No, okay, I
know that people have been through the quake to are
always worried about ATMs running out and not working. Well.

Speaker 31 (01:53:38):
I do keep that in mind, but I do have
a fear of a cash of society would worry me
and that's why I try and use cash, you know,
for most of my transactions, you know, the casual ones
at cafes and sevens. I mean, it does annoy me
when you're in a hurry and you get about six

(01:54:00):
people in front of you and they're buying one coffee
and they're all usually their damn cards five or six
dollars please past.

Speaker 2 (01:54:08):
It should be quicker with payWave where they just do
it on their phone, because.

Speaker 31 (01:54:13):
I don't want to have to pay the payWave feed.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
Oh I see what, I see what you're saying. Yeah, okay,
I understand, Denise. Think you're twenty five to twelve all
about the f to pose. I think switching from KEF.
I think switching from KESH to f po's a scary
front of people because as they don't use a computer
a smartphone. They don't see their transactions online. It's all
mysterious and invisible. Perhaps if they've got a paper transaction

(01:54:36):
list regularly, it would be less intimidating. Did you hear
Shaer and Dick Van Dyke were evacuated Malibu? I have
heard a bit about that. I hope Dick Van Dyke's
all right at ninety nine, so big fire is obviously
in Malibu. Dick Van Dyke, I just google if there's

(01:54:59):
any late breaking news about him on the news ninety eight.
On the other he's ninety ninety ninety eight birthday must
be soon. I think his house is burnt down three
day shy of his ninety ninth birthday. It's tomorrow. That's

(01:55:22):
an early story that their house burnt down. I hope
Chris Martin wasn't there because he filmed the video with him.
I might have survived, but the neighbors were destroyed property,

(01:55:42):
not the neighbors themselves destroyed.
