Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings, welcome, how are I hope it's good tools down
here till midnight tonight. I heard Nina say seven point nine.
I thought it was a quake, but it was a
rate rise, same thing kind of but there we go.
Gee that beautiful was a seven point nine quake, but
not tonight. So I hope it's good. We you are
people here till midnight tonight. If things aren't good now,

(00:34):
let's hope they're better by the time midnight comes around.
I reckon, we'll have a talkback sky. Anything could happen
when there's a talkback sky lock it in. I'll chuck
some things that you chuck some things that me will
see what we talk about tonight, what we end up doing,
I'll do it till twelve o'clock. That's the plan. Stan
call us best, you can email or text. We'd Last

(00:55):
night we spoke to tolls oh one eight because it's
not told directory, because it's gone. It's now chet jeep.
It's it's now AI. You ring directory, it's AI. And
it was very interesting that AI people talking about ZB
Radio ZB but They didn't say, oh eight hunder, they
said zero eight zero zero one zero eight zero eight zero.

(01:19):
So yes, how you get the phone numb if you're
in AI or one eight So just yeah, putting it
out there. I thought that was rather good. Anyway, do
get in touch. You on to be a part of
the show here till twelve. I want things suggested topics.
They might be stuff you want to talk about. Also,
I can work with both. It's all good for me.
You do stuff, older stuff will still happens. Tim Beveridge

(01:40):
along from twelve, you might be off to Lewis Capaldi.
I kind of wish people would stop wrestling stars when
they're here, but I don't know there's any chance of that.
They all get pested for selfie starting. I mean, I
kind of would like people have a kind of carp
the next time of it here, But anyway, that seems
to be people's people's path now, isn't it. You internationally

(02:03):
go around, people will have cameras. They want to have
your photos with them. But anyway, I saw he's been
hassled at the viaduct, but he will play tonight. He'll
beeit spark what I reckonill happen to is he'll sing
some songs, but mainly you'll sing them. After that tremendous
performance at Glastonbury where he had anxiety or Tourett's or

(02:24):
something and he just said the first words and everyone
it was remarkable. So yeah, no doubt it's become of
a single long fest. I think he's rather good. So
there we go. If you're going on to that, hope
it goes well for you. I hope you get a
park and I hope your car doesn't get towed, and
I hope if you're the seed that puts upstairs that
people aren't dancing. And I know there's always fusses with

(02:44):
people at concerts doing weird things. So that's just the
path of the part of the course these days. I
care just two days till that opens. I don't know
why I'm saying that. I even feel I'm part of
the hype now, but gosh, I just wish it out
of the way. If you watch More of The Money
Go Overseas, that will be on Thursday at eleven am.

(03:08):
That's the fourth so there we go. Also tonight too,
there's the football match between New Zealand and Australia's at
ten thirty, so I'll bring you the updates so that
hopefully the New Zealand team does appen. Theyated the early
day game because it wasn't fantastic, but I will keep
you updated with that. We've got weather warnings also heavy
rain and possible severe gales for central and northern New

(03:29):
Zealand starting overnight tonight. Does it go away?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Does it?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
The bad weather? And it's hotness seas too, so there's
going to be more energy up above. So yeah, no
dout yap again, but storms will happen this day. In
nineteen seventeen, six o'clock swell began lasted for fifty years.

(03:55):
I think it would make a rather fun theme. Bar
of somen tried to recreate that. I'm sure probably a
boomers would pay money to experience a six o'clock swill.
You might have trouble getting legal though across it, but anyway,
just putting that out there. Hey what I was mainly
interested first? Up tonight reinteresting article that I've temporary just lost. Anyway,

(04:16):
I'll find it again. Oh that was crazy. I had
it all worked out to talk about and now I
can't find it anyway. Hold your horse, spill I'll be
within two ticks. This seems very shabby and unprepared. Here
it goes. I like the story. So the headline to
this story is smart device alert lead rescuers to remote

(04:43):
Otago crash. And I saw that, so I thought, oh,
that must be a located beacon because this is technolo.
But it's not. It's dealing with technology I don't know
that you're all aware about. So I've actually decided to
it this to begin with, because I'd be curious to
know more about it. And either you'll be curious or
you'll know a lot about it already, and in that case,
you can tell me about it. I kind of feel

(05:04):
with alluded to this before. But the story says emergency
services are alerted to a serious crash on a remote
Otago road by a smart device, and this was in
Buckland's Crossing, which is in the middle of nowhere, northwest
of Dean. I've been in the Tiger Country. It's for
every remote. It's not remote, but you go on long,

(05:26):
dusty roads to get there. The person's gone to hostel
has since been the chart discharged. But what happened? It
says foreign emergencies that perts technology to supports technology which
enables which delivers improved accuracy, enables us to respond to
emergencies at the quickest time possible. So what actually happened

(05:49):
is it on Apple phones and watches? Now this is
just me trying to extrapolate for this the article. So
if you have an Apple phone.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Or a watch.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
And it rapidly accelerates, sorry, if it rapidly decelerates or
rapidly rolls over and over, then the phone will detect
that there is a crash. It's actually probably more important
to tell this about because what happens subsequently will be
important to know. And when a crash is detected, the

(06:24):
device sounds an alarm and displays an alert for ten seconds,
which can be dismissed by the owner. So it's kind
of an opt out scenario. But if that owner doesn't respond,
then emergency services are ultimately called off with thirty second countdown. Yeah,

(06:47):
and it ses the crash location with emergency services. And
apparently by twenty twenty four December, there'd been five thousand,
six hundred and fifty one alert activations over twenty six months.
So I just was going to ask the question. It's
the two part question. If I can Did you know

(07:08):
this was a thing? It's a three part question. Did
you know this was the thing? Are you happy with it?
Because I'm ecstatic? And has it ever helped you? Have
you been in one of those situations where it has
got off? So wouldn't I knowing? Because I can't quite
work out what's it was between being in a car

(07:30):
crash or just flipping your phone around yourself. So that's
something you know anything about. I've I've reverts to hear
about that eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two
nine to de text, But yeah, get in touch with
what I've got the information about that. I think it's
just Apple phones and Apple watches, but it's kind of
reassuring to know if you're lying in a coma somewhere,
your phone's going to call for help, provided the phone's

(07:52):
been shaken enough during the impact of the crash. So
any comments on that, That's what I'd like to start
off talking about tonight, because I find this vivery really interesting.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two. I
didn't think I realized it was a thing totally, and
I kind of got freaked out by Apple putting things
in our phones that our life savers and can't be monetized.

(08:14):
Maybe I'm naive, maybe they are. Maybe emergency services pay
for that service. Seems pretty good to me. If you
know anything about that, give me a holler eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to detext great.
I want to hear you about that. By the way,
I see all the fuss has gone on about the
basketball ending last night. I still don't quite know who's

(08:36):
to blame, but they seem to have accepted apology for
that or apologized. I'd be furious if I was used
in basketball. But yes, Marcus, my iPhone alert went off
when I had a car crash this year, so I
had all ebags go off and was dazed. Had to
find my phone and cancel the emergency service. So I
guess there's something else to stress about. But it's probably

(08:57):
a good stress because if your fine, you don't need
to call them. But otherwise, if you're in a coma
or unconscious, the next thing you know, the feeds that
the emergency services will be arriving to help you out.
Don't think it's through reassuring, but I want to know
how it's worked out for you. Also, there was a
situation where a drink driver, and that's probably a slightly

(09:19):
more big brothery type thing that they can also probably
tell drink drivers. Although this drink driver they took in
Anderson Bay, he had gone through the barrier in Anderson's
Bay and drove into a tree. His iPhone activated the
emergency function, had called police advising us of the crash.

(09:42):
The driver spoke to the one one in one operator
telling them the police should not worry about it. But
because the man sound heavily intoxicated, a police patrol car
was sent to the scene. So imagine, if you're heavily intoxicated,
you're probably are better off texting rather than talking. Not
that sounds like I'm CONDONI drink driving. I'm not. But
you know, by the way the drink driver the circumstances

(10:02):
was plea less than please to see them. So that's
what we're on about tonight. If you've used that, if
you've been aware of that function, or have used that function,
let me know how that worked out for you. The
number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine
to nine to dick. Someone said those I would I
know if I had that service dand are they all
on all iPhones? If I just spun it around it

(10:26):
would I get an alert? Okay, have to be free sudden,
I have to be driving. It probably works out if
you're traveling, That's what it would do. It Bank called
that up. So if you know anything more about that,
I'd love to hear from you. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
hit'll twelve o'clock. If there's other stuff you want to
talk about, that it's fine. Good. If you've got breaking
news you want to mention that, it's fine, that is good.

(10:48):
Anything else you want to mention, feel free, get in touch. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. I'm hearing a lot
about the summer of two personalities. High heat, tor rench
your rain. It sounds to be like the damn monsoon.
But a lot of information about that to just be warned. Yeah,

(11:08):
it might be for every wet at those festivals, although
warm and wet, which is better than cold and wet.
If you want to start the whole discussion tonight eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to
detect hit til twelve, looking forward to what you've got
to say. You might be driving up to Auckland to Capaldi.
Let us know how that's working out for you. By
the way, in the UK, this is interesting. This will

(11:28):
happen here. They want to reduce the school week to
four days, not for the students but to protect staff
well being. Yes, yes, they reckon. It's going to help
them recruit six and a half thousand more teachers. They
can't get teachers and they think if you went down

(11:51):
to four days a week, that's going to boost their
desire to do that job. Wow, don't have a problem
with that. I know there's a perception that teachers don't
work a heck of a lot, but I think that's wrong.
But probably four days a week might feed into that.
If I can say that, I can tell you too

(12:11):
that Australia's under Social Media Band comes into effect on
next Monday, so we'll be following that with interest. So
I imagine the same thing's going to happen. He they're
falling over themselves to get that throughout notice with different
groups advocating for that. So yeah, that I imagine happened
by some time next year in Australia. They said it

(12:32):
couldn't happen. They said it couldn't be done. So often
when something is proposed, people who have a vested interest
always take up the most exaggerated possessions, positions, saying it's impossible,
it's unworkable, and very quickly find that it is workable.
I'm just mischief making because they're worry about market share.
Also to this day, nine eighty three, the groundbreaking music

(12:55):
video for Michael Jackson's song Thriller head on MTV. That's
the one with the were wolves. I even think I
once went to Disneyland and you go into a theater
and watch it in three D, which I thought, wow.
I thought wow, I thought, I mean underwhelmed. But that
was that was the time. It was like a video.

(13:16):
I think it was like an Imax type. But don't
mean is iMX still a thing or Dimax? People all
with Dimex. I don't even know if that's a thing
on all with Dimax. I'd say as Imax. I saw
a three D movie at Imax. I think that was
the one with the when they go to the different planets,
you know, the ones they've got the blue people didn't

(13:37):
like they're remaking it now. James Cameron Avatar so an
impressive three D visual visual event, but totally forgettable as
a movie. I don't worry about Avatar. There was no
key dialogue or no key characters. It was almost the
anti Star Wars. At the Star Wars. You know, there
was so much that was memorable about it. Avatar nothing,

(14:00):
no merchandise, nothing, What could your merchandise? What could you
make lego out of? Nothing? It was weird, wasn't it.
It was a good movie, it was immersive, but nothing
stayed with you anyway. I think I'm going to be
doing a lot of talking tonight. I am concerned or
interested about those emergency alerts on your phones, if you
want to talk about that or anything else I've mentioned tonight,

(14:24):
like Thriller, like Imax, like teaching. Marcus. I'm a farmer.
My alarm goes off on my watch at least once
a week. Nothing serious yet, thank goodness. Speak What are
you doing, Pete? Is that in the ball ring or something?
Or you're rolling your tractor? Someone said maybe using the
PHM cause the crash. I don't think it would have.

(14:46):
I think that's just something that's different. Marcus. Do you
know when you just send our doing is to repair
on Graham Norton. Will she be in the redge, She'll
be on the couch. It'll be next week. I'll find
out those days, those dates for you anyway. Twenty three
past eight, looking forward to your calls. Twenty six past
n eight. Sorry short, it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Hey you going good, Sean?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
How are you going? All right?

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Not a good bed? How you just yeah about this?
A loose on the phone. I'm a volunteer firefighter and
the whekdow here and I don't actually know about that myself,
but I think there's a bloody good idea.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, okay, see, so you haven't you haven't come across
you haven't come across any of.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
Those No, no, not myself. No, I wasn't a wear
of that at all. I've got a nineteen year old
daughter and also a fifteen year old daughter, and I'd
like to think that if they were out with their
friends one night and something was to happen, that might
be the call that their safe them.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
It almost might be a reason to buy an Apple phone,
isn't it. If that's the case, that's the kit on it.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Well, yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good value of
the phone. Isn't.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
It just can't quite work out why why they don't
market or why it's just kind of on the download.
I'm also surprised, mind you. I suppose when you got
to jobs, you don't know how the jobs have been
phoned in, do you?

Speaker 7 (16:07):
No, No, we don't. We get some kind of description,
but it's not much to go off. We kind of
get the just of it going to the job. But
I mean it's more of the fact that, if you
think about it, a car rolls over, goes upside down,
whatever the cases, and one of them is able to

(16:29):
get out but can't find their phone.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, you know, the.

Speaker 7 (16:34):
Alert goes off, the pink gets sent, pin job gets pointed,
and the call goes through a minute later. There's there's
been many instances where you tune up and people in
such you know, in circumstances like that you kind of
you don't know where you hit that. You know, if

(16:56):
you've been in a in a crash or something like that,
finding your phone is probably the last thing that you
want to want to do.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Absolutely. I'm also thinking of all those is now, like
in the other gorge where cars have gone off the road,
they've rolled around in the peddle been a week before
they've been found because it's just so hard to find them,
and you know, fortunately they've been found dehydrated but alive.
This would just make this so much quicker, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (17:21):
Yeah, well, yeah exactly, Yeah, it would, it would.

Speaker 9 (17:24):
But yeah, carry big.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
I wasn't aware of that at all, with the phones
or the watchers.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I think it's happened five thousand times in the last year,
so I would have thought that some would have come
into your vision with your you'd be pretty busy as volleys,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
Yeah, we are very busy at this time that ye
are all year round actually, but those are the things
that we don't get told about on calls. So we
don't know how the cars come through. It's just that
here's the call and this is what you're going to.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Who does it over Christmas? Does well you volunteer stuff?
Do you guys have to stay around for that?

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep, No, no, we're all on
twenty four seven. Sort of been a volley is that
you know, you sign up, you get into it, you
know what you're in for, and you notify when you
when you're going out of town with family and things
like that, but you always make sure that you've got
a crew to roll out the door.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Nice to hear from you, Thanks so much for that.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nineteen nine, which about
the dimdit that alerts on phones. If that's something you're
aware of, or something they've actually used, or in fact
being has saved your life, get in touch. Eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. Do you want text? It's nine
two nine too. If there's something else you want to about,
feel free. It is a Tuesday. Would like to hear
from you. Marcus Simon epolectic. I am an epileptic. I

(18:46):
left a shop and walked to a bus stop. Woke
up an Orkland hospital. Many hours later. Someone found me
on the ground, called an ambulance. I had a seizure.
The hospital told me they knew where to send the ambulance.
Hard to understand it all, but you're explaining it. Cheers Frank, Marcus.
Suppose if you die one one and hold the network
and holding it will suit for satellites connect regardless of

(19:07):
the network you know, I mentioned they would Marcus. Random
question and someone may be able to help with Why
do we have to put our phones on airplane mode
when on the aircraft, which we can use Wi Fi
full on. I don't know the answer to that. I've
got no understanding about phones on planes. I think this
is one that comes up from time to time and

(19:28):
the answer has been there. Forget what the answer was.
I thought it was all to do with the towers
on the ground. You go from tower to tower and
of course disruption down there. But someone might explain that also, Marcus.
Some Android phones have crushed detection. It works via the
motion sensor and microphone. You need to give permission for

(19:50):
it to work, not be an airplane mode or battery
saver mode. By the way, I don't know why it
would work via the microphone that might hear the stuff
or the swishing around. Don't know about that. Can't get
in touching on and talk about that. That's what I
am on about tonight. I find that quite interesting. Oh
eight hundred and eighty Tonight I went to the guy
from Big Bang Theory having dinner at a restaurant Tawamutu

(20:11):
fahrenheits what would you call a restaurant fahrenheit? Yep, you know,
I get in touched it till midnight, twenty had away
from a nine o'clock. If you got to be a
part of it, Neil, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
Hello Marcus. I shop at countdown Will, especially every day
on my mobility scooter. Yesterday, Marcus, I got my bag
of groceries and put them on the counter, and the
gale and loads of the bag and put them through
and I pay no problems. I did that, and I

(20:48):
says how much I it was twenty eight dollars, And
so I was getting me. She's sorry, we don't take cash. Asked,
what do you mean? She says, we don't take cash.
You have to give me your card. I said, I
haven't got one. And she's a delightful young lady. So
I didn't like to make a song and dance about it.
Should you see a young girl?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
And but I got to think which countdown was it?

Speaker 10 (21:12):
Well?

Speaker 8 (21:12):
I knew your Martha. I got to thinking about it.
I accept that a retailer or any business can refuse
to do business with you, but once they've agreed to
do business.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Just just to hang on, because this is kidnap for
our crowd. Was it a self checkout? And she was
helping you that was it in an No, it was in.

Speaker 8 (21:35):
An aisle, Marcus. I don't know how to do the checkout, really,
really and truly, Marcus. And as I say, I thought
that if you'd agreed to do the deal for whatever
it is, then you were obliged to accept coin of
the realm? Is it not?

Speaker 7 (21:57):
So?

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I always thought, Look, I knew in Australia they were
doing this. Doesn't realize that happened here. And obviously you
didn't realize. And you go there every day, did you.

Speaker 8 (22:08):
Say, yeah, it's never happened to me before.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
So you've paid with case previously.

Speaker 8 (22:15):
Always that's always how I payd you start?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
What did what did you do? Let's not undertell the story.
This is bog What did you do?

Speaker 8 (22:26):
Okay, Marcus? She repacked me back. She was a delightful
young lady. Not hair fault, of course. And so I
took it to another aisle. I should have made a
summon dance, but I didn't. But then I got to
thinking about it, and I thought, oh, this just isn't.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Right, you know, hang on, you went to another aisle, I.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
Did, sir, And they took cash.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
They took cash, okay, So it's Nott the soup bag
that wouldn't take case.

Speaker 8 (22:53):
It was the isle, well, the isle in the supermarket. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was that the isle had been desicated no designated
no cash for some reason.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Well that's not quite as bad as I thought. Okay,
so there were aisles that would accept.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
Cash they wear market, Yes, yes, are you going to change?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
How are you going to run at this from now on?
Are you going to take a credit card or a
debit card? Or are you going to just find the isler?
What are you going to do?

Speaker 8 (23:22):
Just carry on as an arm. I'm a very old man,
and you know I'm just having me win JaMarcus.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
No fair enough, and I'm here to get it at
twenty eight bucks. Not much for that? What was it? Bananas? Probably?

Speaker 8 (23:33):
Yeah, yeah, banana's middle spread?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Brilliant? Always bananas, isn't it? Always bananas? Twenty four to nine?
Getting touched yedill twelve. Embarrassing for the guy though? Were
not good? Was it?

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well?

Speaker 8 (23:45):
Here?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I am hoping he's been refused case. I think there's
a talk about goal. But oh no, down that's got
took the money hered midnight manamers markets welcome, Oh eight hundred,
I've took keep out the eye out for international news
also tonight. Well that's kind of slim pickings tonight. That

(24:05):
would be my got it. By the way, I'd say,
what's not going away? One that asbestos that came art
came up behaving very badly with this. They brought the
stuff into the country. The government's not doing much about
it either. They'll be terrifying for people. The other thing,
also what's not going away is a school lunch thing.

(24:25):
Everyone's doubling down on it now. The principle of the
Christi at school where students were to have mold covered
foods rejected to claim the meals were once were old
ones accidentally dished back up, they've got videos, they've got
video footage. Now they've got New Zealand Food Safety on
site investigating. So yes, there we go. Even though if

(24:50):
the meals probably went mold, I don't think anyone's eating
them because they' pet to be an edible or not eaten.
But jumping. If you want to talk twenty three away
from nine Minumer's markets, welcome, there was something different. You
want to mention feel free on these gorgeous evenings, by
the way, with a football tonight I don't know who's playing.

(25:17):
I'm not quite sure if the FULLOSSI team's going to
be on the field. I don't know if Sam Kerr
is playing. But I'll keep you across all of that.
By the way, the football Ferns are in the worst
in the midst of their worst run of form since
February twenty twenty three. They've lost their last four games
and have failed to score a single goal while conceding

(25:37):
fourteen the five zero route against Australia find a six.
There are demolish at the hands the United States last month.
So it's up there a bit better tonight. That starts
ten thirty where they get it on FIFA dot com
or TVNZ plus not plus one. That'll be the chase,

(26:00):
TVNZ plus never plus one, two different things one and
one thing. You go on the computer. That's where you
watch that one. Back at your people, hurdle twelve twenty
two to nine, twenty to nine, how are your people welcome?
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty someone said the

(26:25):
quiet part out loud, talk about bringing talk about being
let at the garden path with the useless story. Supermarkets
a card on the ales for years. Yes, Isaac scital
gee that of countdowns ban cash, that's my night sworded,
I said, that's captain, that'd be Walter will talk back,
but no just at one aisle? Ooh, unbelievable that school

(26:48):
would have video footage of lunch has been returned? Who
does that? Well? Knowing everything this video cameras everywhere now
aren't there? Feel sorry for the graffiti artists? What's alluded me?
That too much metallic ald Eden Park can cause temporary
hearing loss? It was worth it, though? How did that
show it up? Every aisle has signed saying card only
or cash card. Let's cash on hand equal safety arts

(27:11):
for the robbers. So if you're a robber, you're gonna
have to work out what Giles got the money in?
Would that even be a thing? Judith, Hello, let's make
this interesting, Judith, I.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Am, I'm seventy one now and were around the corner?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, yes, w's your birthday? And okay, wow, we're halfway
between seventy one and seventy two, aren't you.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Well, I'm halfway to one hundred and forty two.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's a good point. Do you think you'll make that?

Speaker 8 (27:47):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Be surprising anyway. Okay, you're still seventy one? Still, Yes,
I should have interrupted.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
And it's just my problem. I round the corner and
round the corner is a crossing, that's a tea crossing,
and there's an electric scooter. Why don't they have a
bell on them?

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Well, they probably do.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Scooters and and my beliefe scooters have a bell on
them because when I around the corner, I say a quicktail, Mary.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Are they on the foot path or on the road everywhere?

Speaker 5 (28:32):
And they zoom passed? And this is a T intersection.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, okay, it's hard for you to visualize. Have you
been hit?

Speaker 5 (28:40):
Well, I hope I never. Do they my bones?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah? Okay, I don't even know what to say about that.
Which city do you live in?

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Nelson?

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Are they high ones? Can you hire them out? Or
people own their own ones?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
No, they own their own ones. Anyway, round around the corner,
and I have mentioned it to the to the council. Well,
when you're round a corner and it's a tee intersection
and there's an electric scooter coming either around the corner
or straight ahead, well, why don't they have a bell

(29:20):
on them?

Speaker 3 (29:20):
I can't quite visualize whereabouts on the T intersection are you.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Marlow Street and Songer Street.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I was going to say more about you, Okay, so
I don't know why, Yeah, okay, I'm trying to I'm
having trouble visualizing why. The tea is difficult. But they're
on the footpath. You're on the footpath, is that right?

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Yes? Well I walk with my new world chopping.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Bag Marlow Street? And where which street?

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Song that is? O?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
M G E R Oh yeah, the T intersection?

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yes. Well, people are on electric scooters, so I've seen
them zoom down there on the road. No helmet. We're
in very very little.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I can't maybe get a water pistol.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Oh, yes, great with Jane and that now you're thinking,
and probably they'll be gone before they realize their eyes
are get inside.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I don't approve of that esset text. But still, what
else can I say? Judith? Judith, have you thought of
getting a bell on you?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Well, I'll go and get the center bell.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, that might you get ring as you go like
the town cry here here ye Judith coming to the
corner of Nayland and Songer. Hold your horses, people with
you soon fifteen to nine thirty to nine Peter, this
is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, man, can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yeah? Good, it's sounding good, sounding great? You sound well?

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah? Well I'm not I okay. I trouble. I've got
trouble breathing. And I got a yeah, which is happy.
And on the Saturday at three o'clock, I was that crook.
I rang an ambulance, see and I ended up at
the gospel three o'clock Saturday afternoon at the A and

(31:09):
E have a guess him, I've seen a doctor.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
What time do you get there?

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Just after? It would have been five past three, ten
past three.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
On a Saturday. Yeah, i'd say two in the morning.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Three three o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Wow, that's a long time.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, I live there. They didn't give a decent bed
so I could move and go to sleep. And then
in the end they said, are we're going to put
you in short stay upstairs? They didn't hit more tests,
and they come along to the yesterday. They said, we

(31:55):
don't know how long you're going to be here. Come
along at two o'clock today, told me I could go home.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
So you weren't in A and E waiting they put you.
They triased you straight away, did they?

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I went straight in the back.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Okay, that's the main thing. I thought you might be sitting.
I thought you might be sitting around with the drunks
and stuff on the Sunday morning with that. That's all right,
they put you. They put you on a bed.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, yeah, then they it's Saturday night. They I said,
I can't sleep on these two narrow and they got
a bigger one so I could move because I'm a
big lad. Oh yeah, And so then they lighted. I
was hooked up to this machine, heart machine that was
you know, my heart is a regular beating, and they

(32:43):
were it was pretty high when I got up because
I did it here. And they put me on a
machine and I put me on oxygen. And there was
three o'clock Sunday afternoon when I saw.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
It's a long time, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Wow, Well that's a that's how bad our health system
has good. I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
You're right now.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Oh. They told me to cut my day, pump me
full of drugs, and I was on oxygen until at
lunchtime yesterday. They took me off that and the machine
and see that seeing me today and they can finally
come around at two o'clock the team and said I
could go home, but I'm still struggling.

Speaker 9 (33:26):
But my heart rates.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Dropped down to what we call an average for an
af person.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Have you got have you got a heartbeat monitor at home?

Speaker 10 (33:38):
No?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
They do it with a machine. Oh, you're the sine
and it tells them. I was on one hundred and
twenty at one stage when I get picked up here
on Sunday on Saturday. You know it's mine floats around
between nineteen, one hundred and ten all the time. Sure,
but I couldn't breath. I was struggling for breath.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
What age you, Petter?

Speaker 4 (34:05):
See what you want?

Speaker 11 (34:06):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Hell, have you been to hospital? Have you been to
hospital before?

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Yeah, I've been in the hospital. Had who went in
the back the most came over and said nothing changed
better And I read the same address and everything, and
she said to them and the chemical fu and like.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
A frequent fly, Peter, thanks so much for coming through.
Get well nine away from nine seven to nine Scott
at to Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 12 (34:40):
Yeah, I was just listening to the last gay and
how I'm started listening to these people bitching about the
healthcare system. They're responsible for their own health they're all unhealthy,
they all eat a ship diet.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Hang on just with the language. But we don't know
what his personal circumstances are. To be fair, but yeah,
I am. I mean in the essence of what you
I think. I think sometimes if someone's there on their
own and they've been the hospital and it's been a
big event, they probably want someone to talk to about it.
I mean, most people, if they go to hospital, that's
an interesting thing that happened in their day. Therefore they

(35:15):
want to do something with it. That would be my
take on that.

Speaker 12 (35:19):
Well, my take is they think they can go to
the hospital and they're going to cure them, and that's
not the way the life is. You're responsible for your
own health, not a doctor, not the healthcare system. You're responsible.
But nobody wants to They want to go. They want
to rack up the hospital and think they can fix them.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
I don't Yeah, okay, fair enough. I don't necessarily know
that was well, I don't really know what has I
think he was quite uncomfortable. Well, I guess we're going
to encourage people to call for help when they need it.

Speaker 12 (35:54):
You've got to help yourself, that's all answer.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah, But if you if I mean, if it's going
to be a cronary event or something. They always say
that you've got to call as soon as possible so
you can get in there, because those those early moments
are the most important ones. I've always thought if you're
having a heart attack or a struggle, it's what they say.

Speaker 12 (36:13):
Yeah, as I say, you're responsible for your own health,
not not a doctor, not the hospital.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
You healthy? Yeah, how do you know?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Three?

Speaker 12 (36:23):
Three things? Diet, exercise, and sunlight.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
It's a need not too much sunlight that way, lots
of sunlight.

Speaker 13 (36:32):
Really yeah, if you die, it's good.

Speaker 12 (36:35):
You need lots of summer.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
So you're saying that if your diet's good, you won't
get skin cancer.

Speaker 12 (36:41):
Well you don't want to go out in the sunlight
for twelve hours a day? Okay, no, no, I'm going
to listen to your body. If you if you're burning,
get out of the sun. But you need sunlight. Sunlight's critical.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
What about the eskimos?

Speaker 14 (37:01):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Oh, che, I suppose I get in the summer. Thank you, Scott?
What are we thinking? We were talking to Scott. We're
like they're for the grace of God. Anyway, get in
touch you on to talk. That was interesting, How wasn't it?
It was broad? I feel it's kind of almost getting
towards the silly. I mean people sort of people find

(37:25):
a couple of weeks before Christmas kind of stressful, don't they,
And people get a bit grizzly, maybe do they? I
try not to What have I got to be grizzly about?
Apart from panic around my Christmas quiz? Apart from that,
not much else. If there's breaking news, will bring that
to your people here til twelve o'clock tonight. I've interested
in those cell phones that tell you and call the

(37:47):
emergency services. You might want to talk about that also,
or anything else that's been mentioned tonight. We're not gone
cashless yet, although someone's got an issue with those machines
at car washes. I'll tell you more about that soon. Actually,
if you want to talk about car washes and the
coins you've got to have, why do they do that?
It does seem like a rought to me. I'll tell

(38:07):
you more. These are self service car washers. The number
is zero eight zero zero. Here's a twelfth Good evening again, welcome.
We are talking about phone crash alerts when your phone,
when you have a crush, your phone moves in such
a way that they realize it's a problem and they
text the authorities. It's pretty interesting. I think a lot
of people realize about it. So our phone's are great

(38:30):
warning us for earthquakes, and now they're great, we're infect
and troubling a crash. But we are talking about today
eight past nine. Rayots Marcus, good evening, How good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Thank you? Ray.

Speaker 15 (38:43):
Yeah. The accelerometer or the gyroscope that's in the iPhone,
and I think it's in most of the Android phones,
has been there since the icon came out, and it's
used for quite a number of things, like when you're
looking at a picture when it's portraits and you turn
your phone horizontally and the picture swings around automatically. That's

(39:07):
done by the gyroscope. And then what they do is
they use the output of that for things look like that,
and for counting the number of steps if you've got
to keep a fit program or on an app on
your phone, and also if you if you're a cross
crush scenario. So the thing is activated all the time

(39:28):
because initially it used to be mechanical, but it's it's
sort of like being a it's a it's a process
version of a like a box of the ball bearing.
And so if the phone suddenly goes from a standing position,
is accelerated, and then all of a sudden it comes
to a stop, then the phone can calculators. Obviously this biccuit.

(39:49):
This could only happen in a cross s anaria or
some imp or if you drop it or things like that.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Would it originally have been there four photographs? Would that
have been the purpose for what I wonder?

Speaker 15 (40:03):
And yeah, I think they were trying to obviously at
the very big I mean, think of all the things
you could detect, like tapping the back of the phone.
For some disabled people, you can there's an option on
the phone for tapping the back if you want to
make you do something, or picking the phone above the
desk and putting it to your ear just to say

(40:23):
you've answered it.

Speaker 11 (40:26):
Thanks you for that.

Speaker 15 (40:28):
And I think part of the same gyroscope or acceleromet arrangement,
there's also the ability to detect or use the input
for a compass.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Sure, because the canvases are pretty good, aren't there? They
work well?

Speaker 8 (40:46):
Yeah, really good?

Speaker 15 (40:47):
Yeah, Yeah, it's yes, it's fantastic. I think they just
put as many detectors as they could in the phone
and said to the software, right as well, what can
you do with this?

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Because it must be tiny. I mean, it's funny because
it's something that's transformed our lives. Most of us have
very little idea about what takes you. I mean, I
imagine your excel a wrong to anyr gyroscope is not
a software thing? Or do you think it is? We
would need some it would need some detectives as well,
wouldn't it couldn't all be software?

Speaker 15 (41:15):
Well, well, it's it's all started off from a mechanical
hardware with outputs. But I believe only since when I
heard you talking about it, I just had a quick
look and google on it and to see that it
was still mechanical and it's actually called memos now amy ms,
and it's it's I think they're huge, tiny components that

(41:37):
could be kept compression and rotation and things like that.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
It's probably fair to say it's probably the greatest advenure
there's ever been, and the one that's caused the most
changed to civilization would be the cell phone or the smartphone.
Would you say.

Speaker 15 (41:53):
Absolutely, yeah? Yeah, it's been amazing.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Really yeah, I can't think what would have re served it.
Not the wheel, maybe not the stirrup. They said the
stirrup was a big deal because enabled people to ride
the horse a lot further. But I reckon the the phone,
it's called the micro elect electro mechanical system. Is the memes.

Speaker 15 (42:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's the late. That's what's in it now.
So there's not there's no ball bearing cass there not
anymore or the means of detecting acceleration.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
You can look at it on and there is a
micro it can show you the chip where it's all on.
He's got a microphone. Don't know how the microphone would
work with all of that. Oh and I see it's look,
it's all on the same chip. Accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic campus
pressure seedsor all on one tiny bit of a chip.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 15 (42:41):
Because they also had i know, water sensors inside an
iPhone or all Apple products. So give you sort of
drop your phone down the loo or something like that,
and then you go to take it back onto one
t they can they can determine whether the phone is
being water or not because the detectors will have been triggered.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
I'm surprisable. I think the phones now are pretty well waterproof,
aren't they. I think the new the new iPhones aren't.
Haven't got as much of a problem with water I've noticed.

Speaker 15 (43:10):
I don't know. I've still got the an earlier fashion.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Okay, okay, you're the cheap now the earlier versions. Another
Vanesta go on in you itself, and I couldn't believe
how much the weekly I mean, the ones that aren't
quite the brand new ones. Anyway, Nice to talk to you, Ray,
Thanks so much about twelve past nine. I did say
we were talk about the emergency system and iPhones. I'd
be festered if you've got something to say about that.
And some of the function's iPhones or cell phones do

(43:35):
you're not aware of. But that one where they can
work out if you've been an accident and alert the authorities.
I think it's sensational. Marcus. I've got an issue with
a self service car wash. You must go to the machine,
tap your debit card and give it give and it
gives you their tokens. The minimum is now twenty dollars,
but you normally only use twelve dollars worth of tokens.

(43:58):
There is no way to get a refund for what
tokens you haven't used. It used to be a ten
dollar minimum. This was good. This is a scam, Zach.
I think could go to the some government department that
that sounds bad to me, that you can't just use
it once, because that's really meaning you've got to go
back a second time. And I don't know why. It's
not just to card you buy that you load your

(44:21):
charge on like they have at those laundromats. Gosh, they're busy,
aren't they know who's in those laundromats with their clothes
going round and round? Even it's Marcus, welcome, Yes, good evening,
Hi Evan.

Speaker 9 (44:36):
I've been using my GPS on my phone quite a
bit lately. Yeah, and sometimes it's really really good and
sometimes it's not so good.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Depending on buildings or cities or power lines or what
I think. Maybe rain, Yeah that makes sense.

Speaker 9 (44:53):
Yes, I had a bit of trouble, got a little
bit lost today with it. We see when it was
raining heavy release.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Were you at sea?

Speaker 2 (45:01):
No?

Speaker 9 (45:02):
No, no, no, it's trona find a place?

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Did you find it?

Speaker 9 (45:09):
Plate bush a star? I don't know. Sometimes like I'm
saying sometimes it works really well and sometimes it's just
not happening. When you can just talk into it and
tell you where you want to go, and it just
brings up GPS and setting you on your way, talks
to you, tells you when to turn.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
But other times I wouldn't have thought rain would affected you.
Got there in the end, though, did you?

Speaker 11 (45:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (45:34):
Yeah, yeah, that's get there and back the main thing.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Even thanks so much that fifteen past nine. Keep those
texts coming if you've got them nine to nine to
the text all they tell it eighty tenty to cool
and the extortionate thing about car washers and they choose
that it's twelve bucks where they want twenty bucks. How
many places named white Pine Bush? I thought there was
only one in the North Island. Electricity change the world

(46:02):
more than mobile find Sarah. I would debate that this
might be a silly question, but how do we know
when we get new features and that on our iPhone? Well,
I've got no idea. You just read about it. Famous
last words before someone is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Scott also,
a fast beating heart that won't slow is probably why

(46:24):
the elderly gentleman couldn't get his breath, been unable to
breathe can be terrifying, none of which necessarily has anything
to do with neglecting his health. I hope the elderly
gentleman with the racing heart has a good Christmas, Kate,
he wasn't that elderly. Good evening, Jared, This is Marcus.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Welcome, Oh Marcus think?

Speaker 11 (46:46):
Oh God, got on quickly?

Speaker 16 (46:49):
Yeah you're you're announced guy. Anyway, Look I'm I just
got home. And look you're talking about crash detection.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's right, Yeah, is it what we call it? Yeah,
cush detection, Yeah, a little yeah.

Speaker 16 (47:04):
Look I'm not a great I'm not very advanced in technology.

Speaker 8 (47:08):
I just know what I know.

Speaker 16 (47:11):
Look, just a quick snapshot. When I was twelve, the
first Apple computers came in. And look, so that's on
that sort of advancement. Look my HIGHLX is. Look it's
got some it's got some great features. It's not the
brand new, was being spanking sort of blue shiny one.
It's just a silver twenty eleven. And look it does

(47:35):
the job. And look it's kept me safe. Look it's
got it's got airbags in the steering wheel. It's also
got in the seats side intrusion bags. I think they
call them. Yeah, so it's got a look, not that
I've had to deploy them, but fortunately, but look, I'm

(47:57):
really fortunate to drive quite a safe late model truck here,
did you?

Speaker 3 (48:03):
But yeah, yeah, we're talking more about the crash technology,
but has that got What we're talking mainly about is
if you've got an iPhone, No.

Speaker 16 (48:14):
I've got an Android. I've got a Samsung Android.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
What we were talking about now, if you've got an iPhone,
a lot of phones, if you're in a crash, yeah,
and your car flips or it accelerates really quickly because
you've hit another car right right, then, then your phone,
without you asking, will contact emergency services and tell them

(48:41):
that you've got involved in an accident unless you within
thirty seconds say no, I am okay and cancel it.

Speaker 16 (48:50):
Far out Brussels Sprout.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
So that's right.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Look, that's what we have been talking about because a
lot of people don't realize that.

Speaker 16 (48:57):
Honest to god, I didn't know that technology was around.
No one has told me, my mother, like friends, anyone
that is I have to look into that.

Speaker 8 (49:07):
That's astounding.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
I suggest you do, Jared, because yeah, it was interesting
to me. Thank you, Jared. I have a garment Phoenix
eight watch. A couple of weeks ago, I fell over
while running am I watcher learned to my husband to
the fact that I'd fallen over. So technology is becoming
forever readvanced. Until the androids start hunting us down our
phone tell them where they are, Marcus. Only just tuned

(49:31):
in now. The fire services got notification of two cell
phones having crushed technology going off at the same time
at the same spot, so I knew it was legit
and a head on crash with both cars and phones
at the same time. Getting touch you on to talk
about the ccenumbers of one hundred and eighty today it's
nineteen past nine, Just so you know. Not a lot
of love for Scott. That's what people are saying, Marcus.

(49:53):
If they hooked the guy up to the monitor, they
would have been watching him. Some people think they're the
only ones in the hospital. Cheers David Scott, No mates, Marcus,
how judgmental Scott. Of course hospitals therefore when we need it, Wow, Scott, Judgey,
how flipping rude an egg? What a callous call of
Scott was? We are all responsible for our health. Yes,
but yes, diet and exercise are importment. Some people here

(50:13):
at genes they're not healthy. Scott needs some compassionate jeans, Marcus.
If we should have been there, he would have been
sent packing. Marcus. I hope Scott end up with the
plague or some of the nasty, because they give him
a well deserved the botomy. Be very careful, do you go.
That's happened people down on Scott. Great texts coming through,

(50:35):
Keep those going, calls if you've got them, calls. Janet's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 10 (50:42):
I'm Marcus. G. They're all judgey and nasty, aren't they
takes one to no one.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
What you say, jan I think the expression for that
is spot it. You got it?

Speaker 10 (50:56):
Yeah, that's true. No heart conditions. That's the worst cause
of death in this country to be taken seriously and
caused by viruses. It's covid especially. It can attack the

(51:16):
heart muscle, and so it's not just diet and exercise
in sunshine. And also the bacteria oral bacteria in your
mouth can attack the heart.

Speaker 11 (51:32):
Fell as well and called a heart attack.

Speaker 10 (51:36):
Now I have a that dodgy heart which stops, stops
every now and then and then with a big bang,
at restarts one day, at won't. And I take these
life stream tables called Heart Health or Circulate, and I

(51:58):
recommend them because it stopped my heart from stop being
dodgy altogether. And I recommended them to about four different
people who were going to have a heart operation have
a pacemaker put in or whatever, and they no longer
need it. So and these tablets have got hawthorn berry

(52:22):
which regulate your heart. And it's said, quick the eatya
and you just take one a day, John.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Done, Thank you. Jan twenty five past nine, Marcus Ivan
Apple Watch Ultra. This has crash detection. Also it has
an um you don't even need to be with your iPhone.
Quite impressive when you think what it does and you
look how big it is. Great show. Speaking about the
best invention, the horse and cart would take on power

(52:51):
if we go right back to where it all began pyramids. Well,
I don't think the horse and cart's invention is it
is that is the horse and cart. And well, the
horse is a horse, of course, and the cart is
just two things to tidy your horse and the box.
The invention is the wheel. Wouldn't you say isn't the
invention of the isn't the horse and cart?

Speaker 4 (53:12):
The wheel?

Speaker 3 (53:12):
There'd be my take, But yeah, I think I think
probably the cell phone would taken over everything. Is that
the most changing and the greatest invention?

Speaker 11 (53:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
I mean you get on panels to scope. Oh yeah,
I don't know. It's a kind of a fatuous thing
to say, isn't it. I don't know what the best
invention is. I don't even know what the worst invention is.
What would be the worst invention come across a few
in my time. I can't think the answer off the
top of my head. Head for that one. It's a

(53:47):
pretty bad stuff invented now. If you want to be
on air, that's the point. Twenty six past nine the
women footballs will be playing ten thirty a dan correct? Correct?
If this breaking news, bring it to me. If you've
got news for you, let me know what that news. Oh,
by the way, no one told me this. Hamilton's got
a brand new roundabout. It's a peanut roundabout. The cost

(54:11):
eleven million dollars. Has anyone been on this? It's all
on social media. Yeah, I've seen this during the news.
I was reading about this it's oh, okay, I do
know about that one. It's not infect in Hamilton. I'm

(54:31):
just looking New Zealand proud. It sees some Hamilton locals,
a say in the New eleven million roundabout peanut right
about sounds like a cashew. It's actually the one on
paid Eddie. So that's the one there. That's the situation.
So that's out of Hamilton. But anyway, I thought there
was an inside Hamilton one. We've had a but yeah,
I didn't know it was like that. Oh the other
thing I saw and in vercagood day, I saw the

(54:53):
Google Maps car. They must will that mean they're updating
in Vericago there Google street Views. So yeah, it was
excited to see that because it seems like it's about
five years as it's been around down south and I
thought all about Google street View. How many cars do
they have and how long did it take to do
the whole country? Everyone's got information about that. I find

(55:15):
that fascinating and how often do they do it? Because yes,
I can look at our house and see that I
can see exactly when it was done. I'm always trying
to date that from what I can see, and it's
a while it's a while ago because you can look
at what sort of buildings you've knocked down. But yeah,

(55:39):
where's the where's the place that's got the latest with
the Google street View? And how would you know? Can
you see? Can you see it when it was done? Dan,
I'll go look at bluff now. Actually, I always looking
at the house from Google street View one of my obsessions.
It was not really a posession. I think, sure everyone

(56:00):
does it. I'm just looking at now, can't I can't
bring up the story. There we go street view. Apparently
you can see when it's not working for me? Now,
I knew that would happen anyway, get in touched on
talking about us. Oh, there we go top left end
caller whiz, I can't see that October twenty twenty two. Yes,

(56:25):
because the kids strike in the front and the front
lawn and the kids trike for a long long time.
And know what happened to that? By the way, what's
that under the windows? I'll be at Driftwood. Yeah, it's
very interested to know the date was there, So, yes,
it needs an update. It's been three years. But yea,
how often they do it as a one car that
just goes around the whole country. If anyone's got any

(56:48):
Google street View effects, I'll be kind of interested in that.
There's also another tops bouncing around tonight. As we judge,
Scott Marcus, I believe you're right with the smartphone being
the grass invention of all time. The telephone before was
absolutely life changing. With the smartphone now it was just
unbelievab Well, of course, with the invention of the telephone,

(57:11):
that helped the invention of talk back, didn't it because
you couldn't do talk back with carrier pigeons, were you
cod or you couldn't really well, I suppose it was
radio and the telephone. The worst adventure would be cardboard
straws always going song and when they're putting drinks. I'm
inclined to agree what would be the worst invention and
be humorous with this. Someone said, meth probably right, what

(57:35):
was the worst, best and worst inventions? It's kind a
simple because I said the cell phone. I'm sticking with
that one the worst one. I don't know what that
would be. I'm sure something will spring to mind, what
if I had. I mean, I've got a toaster that's
pretty bad, but that's not an invention. That's just a
poor execution of a previous invention. I would think. I

(57:58):
can't really say what my vote for the worst invention
would be. There will be some funny ones.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Maty Marcus. My worst invention is probably the jet ski. Yeah,
the one that's a pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
One, like well, just it just ricks the beat for
everyone else.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
And the like yeah, they go, what is that?

Speaker 3 (58:21):
They've got their self awareness? Those people have.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
They it's like it's because the hardy go the better,
but the more annoying it is because to turn, you've
got to give it some gas if you if you
throttle off and turn, nothing happens to just keep going straight.
So it's all about the all about the jet proportion
in it. And I've got three beast inventions and it

(58:45):
goes throughout history. You've got to like put it into
the Bible. I'm going to say the wheel first, and
then the Bible, and also books because you bat with
your wheel and then you write a book about your wheel,
and the Bible just as well. And you couldn't have

(59:07):
and the probably the next one is the computer, slash
iPhone or ashphone altogether. And you couldn't have the computer
without some books. And you couldn't have the books without
a wheel. It's like three bigs. But for New Zealand
it's probably electric sensing and refrigeration. If we didn't have
those three things we would be were good.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Well.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
I have read books about the early days of sheep farming, right, yeah,
and then and they found the sheep for they found
the sheep for the wool because they couldn't export the meat.
And when they was when they got to other just
run them off the cliff, Yeah, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Yeah, I think they ate quite well well, speaking of
the Bible and Biblical times. You just have you hid
your fat tail sheet sheep, you cut their wool off
and then you eat them. Yeah, it was pretty good animal.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
I mean, well, it's a great animal. I mean, honestly,
wool jeepers what a fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Rulers, especially the O G breeds in the right environment.

Speaker 11 (01:00:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
What what does what does O G mean? Again?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Old guy original? Oh yeah, I'm og old guy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
I'm never quite sure what that is, the O.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
G og original Marcus. I went to the lake and
had my first wakeboard of the summer tonight, so it's
pretty nice. I blew a few cops out of the old.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Are you behind a jet boat?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
No, not a jet boat or a sky This is
a what is that nineteen ninety three ski boat imported
from South Africa?

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Immigrants. Wow it's called.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
A I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
It's a bow rye that with a two straight ninety
horse power on the back. Yeah, quite loud.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Do you see any car Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
No, I don't seen any carp There's just one annoying
jet ski and then about three hundred baby boomers and
the camarvans and caravans.

Speaker 10 (01:01:10):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Really, it really is summer. It really is summer in
the North Island.

Speaker 17 (01:01:14):
Yes, yes, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
The water was quite warm. It was nice last night.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
What about all these muscles that are taking over the
wake at the river? You're seeing these yet that have
been invasive?

Speaker 17 (01:01:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I think they are there, but they're under the underwater.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
Okay, see not do you're not You're not falling on
them as you do your wakeboarding.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
We're not allowed so we're not allowed to take Yeah,
but we're not allowed to take boats down to road
to Rure.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Terminated. I never loved the expression wakeboardings. I always think
of the funeral as the wakes and I always get
you Why is that. That's weird, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Yeah? Weird? But anyway, Yeah, we're not allowed to take
our boats down there unless we clean them out. But
I think it's the it's the wakeboard American wakewood boats
with the fat sacks that suck offs the water. And
yeah it's the big My boat doesn't suck any water.
And that's a pretty low roscue as the wakeboard full
up the water ballust would be a high risk split

(01:02:10):
in the muscles.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Yeah, okay, nice to talk money, thanks so much of
that twenty four away from ten Marcus for the worst
inventure would be the consultant. If you can say the
idea of any consultant can be an invention. Thanks Phil
Wow four per cell Place. Melville Hamilton saw the street
view cargo up the Colins talking about three months ago.

(01:02:31):
I'm not a line that can't lock. Oh well, am
I supposed to lock?

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Okay? Marks is Marcus Man's greatest invention is still the bikini.
That's good, isn't it. That's like a retro text from
the seventies? Are quite like that? We're innocent enough, isn't it? Marcus?
The greatest creation of all time is time. Without timing,
We're not have a motor, we don't have a calendar, clocks.
Everything revolves around time. Would you say that time was

(01:02:59):
an invention? I think just the recording of time was invention.
It's getting pretty meta, isn't it? Worse than would be plastic?
And I'm sticking with electricity is the best. Although you
could say the written word, I don't think you say
the written word. I think you say moveable type, don't
you With Guttenberg, that was the start of everything, the
start of the dissemination and spread of knowledge? Can knowledge? Gee,

(01:03:24):
we're a broad show tonight. We've got to be this
time of the year. People are at the barb because
you gotta do what you can to get them on
the air. I still think the card the paper straw
would be the worst. That's my vote. Any who? Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty nine nine to text?
You want to come through here? Will twelve be a
part of it?

Speaker 11 (01:03:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Get in touch. You want to talk about the of
these things or something else or something else. I'm across
news of the world. If we've got it, you'll hear
about it here. Melbourne School in Lockdown principle was stabbed
by a staff member. So the teachers are coming on
stuck at the end of the year twenty two to ten.

(01:04:10):
I'll back at your people twenty to ten. If you
want to come and join the discussion, that would be
the whole plan for tonight. Feel free to get through
Worst Invention Supervisor with a clipboard. The steel straw is
the worst because how do you clean it?

Speaker 11 (01:04:22):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Look, the steel straw is so bad. I had a
lot of fights within my family about the steel straw
because I just thought there could not be a more
dangerous thing for a child than a steel straw. When
you imagine if a child with a steel straw fell

(01:04:42):
and it would almost take a core sample of the back,
it would just be yeah, just yeah. I think they
are the most dangerous thing. I'm surprised they're not banned, Marcus.
The wooden knife and fork are the worst. No weight,

(01:05:03):
the cardboard coffee cup lids that get soger and sager
as you drink your Shane, thank you, Shane, I'm hearing you.
I don't know what the worst inventions of our time
would be. There's been some pretty dumb stuff made a
serious text here and I'll read that out because the

(01:05:24):
purse has gone to a lot of effort to write it.
Hillo Marcus, I just wanted to reisthrate my concerns about
the asbestos issues that have been circlating in schools over
the last couple of years. From what I've seen, the
situation hasn't really been publicly highlighted, likely to avoid causing
a necessary alarm amongst parents and the wider community. There
also seems to be hesitation at higher levels, possibly the

(01:05:44):
Ministry of Education, about letting this become a bigger issue
that could lead to dispute to a public backlash. Because
I work in the education the secret and have been
involved in asbestos assessment and removal, I'm aware of how
serious and costly these situations can be. Whether the costs
have been covered directly by schools or by the ministry,
it ultimately comes down to the tax payer money. At

(01:06:05):
the same time, some of the supplies involved don't appear
to be taking responsibility, which adds to the frustration. If
you look at the Ministry of Education Don't guidance, it
states that schools require Class A assessors and Class A
removal for this type of material Class A is the
highest risk category, which means the aspesis in questions considered significant.

(01:06:26):
When you think about that, it's pretty concerning, especially since
children may have been around that material that is classified
at such a high level. From my perspective, this is
a much bigger issue that it has been treated as
so far. It feels like the approach is being to
quietly resolve at test the sands area, remove the effective material,
move on without drawing too much public attention. So, yes,

(01:06:48):
it's a big deal, Marcus, and the ready big deal
too is I hope they're not cynical with it's the
trouble with asbestos and asbestosis, if that's what it's called.
Is the time leg it can be twenty or thirty years,
so these children, that these parents of children won't know
they're infected until they're in their mid thirties. Curifying that.

(01:07:08):
But thanks for that text. I appreciate that government very
quiet on it. The escapement part of a clock that
controls the speed of the gears and gave repeatable time
and allowed mapping of the world. That's right, until they
get the time piece to six seconds accuracy of a
twenty four I think that's what it was. They needed

(01:07:29):
that accuracy for people at sea to calculate longitude. Was
it latitude? I think the book was called Longitude that
I read. That was the key. They had the charts,
they needed the time, and yeah, the clocks had to
be accurate too. I'm not quite sure how accurate they
had to be. It'll tell me in their googles. I

(01:07:53):
said six seconds. It was three seconds a day, but
that's plus or minus. But yeah, that's the longitude. That's
what happened. They needed them to do for every accurate
so you could actually look at the stars and then
work out exactly where you were, or the charts or
the sun. Probably. Oh. Someone says you can click on

(01:08:14):
previous dates on Google View. I can't see how to
do that. I'll do that during the break for those
people want to look at the house on Google street View.
I've never done this, but you just got a Google
street View and then it says in the top left
corner there's a black oblong rounded oblong that comes up
and it says October the date, and it says latest dates,

(01:08:34):
and all the dates come up again. See your house
as it's been mine goes back from two thousand and
eight set in the summer, set in the winter. Well,
that's interesting, I thought fascinating. Hey, thirteen to ten Best
and worst Inventions and worst invention are tossed up between
MMP and COVID Marcus. The subject subject could be what

(01:08:59):
is the best and worst inventions simultaneously? One example, road gones. Yeah,
that's very good. That's really I like this guard when
somebody else I said road cones. I don't mind a
wooden knife and fork better than cardboard knife and fork.
So best and worst inventions if you want to talk
about that tonight, it's been enjoyable. I want to see

(01:09:26):
what Google says about the worst inventions because I need
some I need some motivation for my list. Where if
I put down fifty worst inventions, someone says the seguay,
someone says the coffee capsule. That you that's an espresso

(01:09:48):
environmental hussle. Cameron, Good evening, Hi, Hi.

Speaker 10 (01:09:52):
Mar to tell you.

Speaker 18 (01:09:55):
What would I say? The best thing ever?

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Has?

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
Think?

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
Google?

Speaker 18 (01:09:58):
Okay, just because it does. If it works, everything works.
Now you're playing with Google mats. Have you ever played
Google Guesser?

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
And that's that shows your place? You guess where it
is now?

Speaker 18 (01:10:11):
Yeah, you go to guess where it is and then
like you end up looking like trying to find a
way of bloody gam road in the south as yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
That becomes that that taketsally a competition for people actually
compete in that, don't they Oh yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:10:25):
Yeah yeah, Like it's unbelievable. And like guys are like going, like, somebody,
guess where I am, and they'll be on an aeroplane.
They'll be flying over like and they'll they'll be going, oh,
all the sun's coming from this direction. You're you come
from that place and then and you're roughly here and
you're going to this airport. It's unbelievable anyway where some
venture anything that kids have like chatter rings just you know,

(01:10:50):
it's just that the fact that they're just annoying, you know,
they say, you know, yeah, that's about it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
Anyway.

Speaker 18 (01:10:56):
That's what Thanks Mat, that's good show.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Thanks Kevin. What about crocs ten to ten? Eight away
from ten, Steve, it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:11:09):
All right, you're talking.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
I see hello.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
This is a good start, are you Oh god, here
you go?

Speaker 13 (01:11:19):
Oh man, what's the south flight at the moment?

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Oh god, yeah, no complaints here.

Speaker 13 (01:11:26):
No complaints to you either, actually where this coast of
the island?

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
So I saw I could I could picture you there.

Speaker 13 (01:11:35):
Yeah, I've talked to you before. You know, when I
get drunk, I swear, so that's normally when I get
knocked off.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
But actually, what you got, you got, you got the
you got the mix? Just worring about three bottles and are.

Speaker 13 (01:11:47):
You no I'm eating? I guess how much?

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
How much have you drunk?

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
Is it? Well?

Speaker 13 (01:11:56):
How much have you drunk?

Speaker 11 (01:11:57):
You see?

Speaker 13 (01:11:58):
I asked a question with the question, but I just.

Speaker 3 (01:12:01):
If you reckon, you're in the right zone. I want
to know what the right mix is for next time.

Speaker 13 (01:12:05):
No mixes for me. It's really good to actually talk
to you without getting cut off. Yeah, yeah, that's that's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:12:15):
But always how much have you had to drink.

Speaker 13 (01:12:19):
Us to get a conversation?

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
Exactly?

Speaker 14 (01:12:22):
Perfect?

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
About what's your poison?

Speaker 13 (01:12:27):
So what's what's my point? And so I've got a joke.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Questions? Don't you?

Speaker 13 (01:12:36):
But it's much like you you know, you know? Okay,
so love your neighbor, but don't get caught.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Is it a joke or was more like a bumper sticker,
isn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
This was like a bumper. I member this.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
I think people have bumper stickers. It's all about memes. Now,
no one has bumper stickers, funny bumper stickers.

Speaker 13 (01:12:58):
There was no I'm telling you, there's a thing that
coming out and that was like, I don't know, it
just went on the fridge and something. And then there's
like ten jokes and it was pretty cool for a
young kid. You know about sustain and there's all sorts
of interesting jokes. We never knew how to laugh, so
I was introducing us to laugh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
What's big on the coast at the moment.

Speaker 13 (01:13:23):
Big on the coast is Cole going out of here
fueling war, which I'm really said about Markers. It's it's
melting steel to build tents and bombs, and it goes
past our door every day.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Are you on the train track, Steve, Well.

Speaker 13 (01:13:45):
I can see it and I can see what's going out.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
I think a train's going to come past us. I'm
talking to.

Speaker 13 (01:13:50):
You as markers. He wouldn't know, you know, like obviously
just just listen to me. Do you know what we're fueling?
Do you understand I'm talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Steve? I got it. Maybe give me a bit of
call me a but earlier next time. So I think
it's a bit hard to talk to. It's a little bit.
We're not quite there yet.

Speaker 13 (01:14:13):
We're not We've never been quite there.

Speaker 4 (01:14:15):
Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:14:16):
We love about you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
We can aim for it that way, we can aim
for perfection.

Speaker 13 (01:14:21):
We can aim for something that it's not politically correct
on national radio because we're delving into things that we
don't know nothing about.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Brett and Steve and we'll leave it there. Nice to
talk far away from ten we now Scott's feeling now
getting slammed anyway, Marcus. The worst invention is Christmas presents.
People worry themselves, sick, wander and want to buy others
for Christmas. Frank, the best invention is the sewing machine,

(01:14:53):
or a toss up between MMP and COVID. A look
in the complete list of the world's worst fifty inventions.
On at number thirty five is honeygar. We you had
to look at what it was that was combined vinegar
and honey in a jar. Honeygar. Someone's put the fake

(01:15:13):
ponytail in at thirty four and spray on here and
hydrogen blimps and the food coller fork designed to cool
down food as you ate it. A small fan attached
the handle to do this. There you go, find this
all quite interesting. Selfie sticks are getting a lot of votes.

(01:15:36):
Is the worst thing? What did Steve say?

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
What was Steve on about? Someone says that Steve and
Scott should meet up for a beer? What was he
on about? The glasscar before the news? Oh? Yes, yes,
that's right, that's right. The coaster you left publish shot

(01:16:03):
mark is the best invention. The wine glass that holds
an entire bottle. And the undo button on emails. No,
there was an undo button on emails. Best invention of
recent times the garage door opener. Do to do Christmas presents?

(01:16:25):
They're the worst. Yeah, that's a good point. Hey, get
in touch with you on talk. We've talked about all
a manner of things, but you might want something to
talk about different. You might want to talk about something different.
That's good. We're broad at this time of year with
what we could talk about interesting. Also talking about cresh
detection on cell phones. So now cell phones cannot only

(01:16:49):
tell you an earthquake is about to hit, but they
can tell you they can tell the authorities when you've
been in a car accident and can't contact them yourself,
which is pretty remarkable and I'm here for that. So
that's what we have talking about. Then we've gone and
then I said the cell phone would be the most
life changing and best ever and ever invention, and we've

(01:17:13):
been discussing that with varying responses. Then we got onto
the worst invention and that might be something you want
to say. By the way, the Football Ferns are about
to start with half an hour away. They have benched
the captain. Yep. We got thrashed last match five nil,

(01:17:37):
their worst run of form since twenty twenty three. Yep,
Annale Longos retiring Funds captain. When I look at the
future of the team and what they've been, what they
need going for, I think it's the right time to
step away. If I'm still around playing in twenty twenty seven,
then it's done to service to the system that we're
growing in New Zealand. They have to look at it
both ways and what's best for the team. Fair enough,

(01:17:57):
but she's playing one hundred and forty fourth game for
the Football Ferns. The boot is a fifteen year old,
has never beaten Australia in fourteen attempts. Now if you
want to be involved on the radio. That's the plan
for tonight and mentioned best and worst. Other stuff you

(01:18:17):
can talk about, Well, there's no limit. Really, I'll be
here till midnight and Tim beverage belong at twelve. There's
other stuff you want to talk about. God, Oh, by
the way, here's something I didn't know. Oh I mentioned,
I didn't mention it. I meant to mention earlier. I

(01:18:40):
don't think it was at my time in school. I
just reading an article today about the beep test we
got to run back and forwards. I just want to if
you have any memories of doing that at PE famously
has been very very hard. It tests lung capacity VO two.
It's why that it's called, which is a good protector

(01:19:02):
if you had to be good at sport or not.
I'm just curious if that was something you did at school,
because I don't have any I think it was probably
after my time, so it's kind of interested about whether
that effect was true. So, but get in touch if
there's any of these things that are good for you
to talk about. I'm here till twelve. There's anything different,
that's okay? How's your advent? Calendargoing how's your interfacing with

(01:19:28):
the hospital system. There's been some calls about that today.
Anything else, get in touch. This is always a big
story at this time of year. The ten most sought
after toys, I'll tell you what they are. Monopoly Free
Parking Expansion, Peck Expansion Peck. I don't reckon that'd be

(01:19:50):
any good operation electronic board game. I don't reckon that's
any good Rebounce. I don't reckon that'd be any good Neanopals.
Poor Tricia don't even know what that is. Bay Blade, Yes, well,
we're a Babads family. I reckon that would be good.
Bay Blade X Drop Attack battle Set, So it's a

(01:20:14):
new bay Blades stadium with a super accelerator. Play Dooh, Barbie,
Designer fashion shows. I reckon that would be very good.
Transformer Earth Spark Optimist Prime Battle Trailer, too complicated, Pepper Pig,
Winks and Snaggles, evy delightful. NERF Load Out Galactic Commander.

(01:20:38):
Never been into Nerfs. Furby Interactive plush toy. One of
the most hotly anticipated toys is Christmas. It will become
your child's instant bestie, like a parent substitute. That's a
situation that's what's big for Christmas. Don't know who's put
that list together. I feel slightly suspicious of it. I

(01:21:03):
don't know why. Where are the tamagotchies. Aren't they act
by now but jump and loose like a gooselight whatever?
You've got them here for you, Oh, oh, thank you.
Beep tests showed up in the mid nineties, was big
and rugby teams AB's did it and Sean fitzpatrick got

(01:21:25):
the highest out of the whole thing. I would have
thought McCall would have. In the nineties there probably yes
died the beep test out. I think taut to college.
It was horrible, end up having an asked for attack.
So with all blacks in which league players do best
in the beep test? Worst invention nineteen eighty two wage

(01:21:45):
and price freeze and Roger Nomic's best invention Rugby World Cup.
Thank you for that. Oh and the Kiwi berg invented
in Hamilton. So onwards and upwards fourteen past nine. If
you want to add to the discussion or join the discussion,
that's the plan. We've talked about Google street view and when,
when and how many Google cars there are street view

(01:22:08):
cars around the country. I'd like to know information about
that that would be of interest for me, But anything
goes Hittle twelve. What else have you got to say? Oh,
by the way, I was really very interesting article today
that since I've got the speaking, the speaking, something got
a chance to speak. Where was this article I was reading?

(01:22:29):
It just came up on my feet. It's not something
I'm particularly interested in or taking. But I'm just gonna
try this article. Hold your horses?

Speaker 8 (01:22:39):
Did he.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
And I'll just summarize it for you if I can
find it. I keep pushing the wrong button. Sorry, pilot,
err my fault. So yeah, So it's just an article
I did read about a zempic and we'regov they reckon

(01:23:04):
with those drugs. If you think those drugs are good,
the next generation of those drugs are remarkable with the
work they will do. So the whole sense of that
thing is if those drugs aren't working for you, there's
a second range of next range that have been developed
which will be extraordinary with the development as far as

(01:23:24):
weight loss goes. So there you go. These work on
five to ten percent. The next ones will eliminate twenty
five percent of your rate, and people losing up to
forty percent some people clearly probably just about disappearing. So
there we go. So, yes, they say that whole side
of medicine, it's just starting and there's huge developments there,

(01:23:47):
obviously at a price. Sixteen past ten, Philip, this is
Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 19 (01:23:52):
Yeah, Hi, Marcus good Evening. That reason the best thing
for me for texting is invention is texting because I
can text best people, not just in christ Church but
in Australia, in London.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
It's pretty amazing. Are you part of that community? Is
that you got no lot of deaf people?

Speaker 19 (01:24:14):
Yeah, well I know four deaf people. But it's just
so much better than sending a letter to London. Yeah,
or you know, I'd have to ring someone there and
then don't have to translate you know, the sign language.
But now I can actually communicate with that person.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
It is brilliant, remarkably freeing texting. Ay, that's unbelievable really
with that, with what that's done.

Speaker 19 (01:24:39):
Yeah, and the deaf community it is so much free
for them now.

Speaker 12 (01:24:44):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
Oh, well, good thoughts, Philip, Thanks for that. There we
go seventeen past ten. To remind me of that guy
to talk about London, I saw a tweet today or
something online today, and I just thought I'd read this
out as a bit of a warning because it might
prompt some discussion. Also, someone sent a five hundred dollars

(01:25:06):
bar of chocolate to America, or they worked out how
much it would cost to send half a kilogram to
America one hundred and eleven dollars. So yeah, the price
of overseas shipping is just out the gate. If you've
got some experience with that, let me know. I mentioned

(01:25:28):
that earlier. I just mention that again. By next week
Australia will ban social media for under sixteens and they're
pretty hardcore about that. In Australia's Communication Minister Nica Wells
has told the BBC she's not intimidated by technology companies
who disagree with the country's world leading social media ban
and is ready of Washington ways in from December ten

(01:25:50):
to ten social media firms including Snapchat and Meta, TikTok
and YouTube. We'll have to take what the government says
a reasonable steps to stop children under sixteen from having
accounts on their phones. Good on them, I think, yeah,
even if Trump was in there, committed to that one.
So they'll be following that that will happen here. I

(01:26:12):
don't have a problem with it, but what I think
is interesting is they said it would never work, the
Australian one, but they seem to be able to roll
it out. Twenty one past ten, Lynn, this is Marcus.
Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:26:26):
Oh hi Marcus. Just I'm leaving. You know, I've just
gone into a new doll and sprayed them and trying
to get an underneat and I've got pulsingnit on there,
which is good, but I can't seem to because it's

(01:26:48):
a new doll. They don't understand my my new house.
So just wondered if anyone else who's got a problem
with Lynn.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
I'm going to ask you some questions. Okay, yeah, what's happening.

Speaker 10 (01:27:08):
It's a new boat the corner.

Speaker 3 (01:27:10):
So you've gone into a house that's You've gone to
a house that's brand new, is that right?

Where you go?

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
And what are you having trouble with? Okay?

Speaker 10 (01:27:36):
Yeah, by Pioneer Stadium you probably know, I guess ye
Spaks Road and Little Street.

Speaker 3 (01:27:45):
Yeah, don't give you a hol address, but yep, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:27:49):
I'm not doing there, but ye have tried to get
along because I need to read some home. It's just
been awful.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
So what haven't you got.

Speaker 10 (01:28:04):
In in my phone?

Speaker 3 (01:28:07):
But have you got a Is there a router?

Speaker 11 (01:28:12):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
So you're hooked up with a router.

Speaker 10 (01:28:17):
I'm going to a vibra a fiber okay, chair to be.

Speaker 11 (01:28:27):
What's it called.

Speaker 10 (01:28:30):
Chab interest?

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
What's that?

Speaker 11 (01:28:37):
Two?

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Okay? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what Dan,
do you know anything? Has it been connected by corus Land?

Speaker 10 (01:28:49):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:28:51):
Do you have ana? Do you have a provider?

Speaker 10 (01:28:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Who's your providerder?

Speaker 10 (01:29:02):
I'm trying to get hooked out?

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
Who's your internet provider?

Speaker 10 (01:29:07):
It was Contact, but I can't get on Contact?

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Does power?

Speaker 10 (01:29:13):
Yes, I've done that with pulsing a gene.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
But who's your internet provider?

Speaker 10 (01:29:20):
Andy? I can't get on because it's a new it's
a new streak. It was glue place and that's a
new hole.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
You're going to need someone to get your an account
with an internet provider.

Speaker 11 (01:29:38):
Yes, yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
Yeah, I think that's the best we can do, Linn.
But thank you texts. The best thing is check GPT.
That just cured two life threatening problems. What do people
put on the top of the Christmas tree? Is it
for central mental reasons, racial value or something you're in
different each year? Worst or best invention to wine mark

(01:30:04):
us up daylight saving is there? Best invention WD forty
worst invention Blue block of sunglasses and Marcus iPhones are clever.
I was an excellent phone alarmed, then I was rung
and asked if I was okay as my phone had

(01:30:25):
alerted the car was an accident. Also have one watch
and had a heavy fall watch alarmed and gave the
option to ring the emergency services. Best toy Lego Optimists.
I'm amazing they're releasing a Lego sound Wave this year.
Can't wait. Bodes usually get to high score for best

(01:30:46):
Cheap Beep Test and Bronco Worst Invention. The National Party
Beep test is the main part of police fitness testing
for most Australian police states even still today and New
Zealand apparently and in the military should beat taty. They

(01:31:07):
probably should be talking checking what they've got their laptops.
That would be my advice. But hi, Kesper, this is
Marcus Welcome test for ten out of ten? What do
you got?

Speaker 17 (01:31:20):
Not too much you sitting about out of South African
rugby team giving Wales a hiding last Saturday night. Yes,
I just want to tell you a little bit more
that now the South African field with a B or
a C team really really yeah, So I just I
want to tell you about that, and still three dollars

(01:31:43):
doing the World Cup, followed by the old lex at
four fifty Franti five and the palms at six. Now
the next thing I want to talk to you about. But
he was you can see that with us coming good,
all the farmers out here at late at night, still
player and up the field and then yep, that's good.
And last thing was it, guy Scott? That wasn't very

(01:32:04):
good at all?

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
Poor former, poor talk, we ettiquette, begging a guy just
down a hospital.

Speaker 17 (01:32:09):
That's terrible. Yeah, so you know, I just I was
thinking about it all the way from the Toney to
Nellian long Ano. He now you know what a Dick
Fritzer He was Dick what Dick trit But yeah, that's
an old thing many many years ago when.

Speaker 7 (01:32:31):
I was at school.

Speaker 17 (01:32:32):
Yeah, yeah, Dick.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
Yeah, I've never heard that before. I've never heard that. Hey,
what's South Africa? They're only just ahead of all Black
on the ratings, but their lips and bounds ahead of
them when performance.

Speaker 17 (01:32:46):
Yeah, I'm not going to really, I don't want to
comment on that, but will you know my feelings and
my predictions already about the World Cup for twenty twenty seven.
So yeah, but yeah, it's I'm a little well, I'm
not nervous, but I still think we just don't have
the the cattle Acus.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
Why did Francis Form seem to dip? Because for a
while there they were the best in the world. What
happened with them? Are they rebuilding?

Speaker 17 (01:33:13):
The gar probably just rebuilding eighteens go through change or
management change, change, and they players retire and all that
sort of thing. It's just yeah, yeah, but yeah, but
that's all I wanted to leave your know tonight. But
I'm from I'm proud of the old farmer's out there,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Are you a farmer, Kesper? Or you're just generous of spirit?

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Are you?

Speaker 9 (01:33:37):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:33:37):
Very very generous of spirit? Marcus? I'm I'm I'm a
feir man, mate, I'm a fear man.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
Where's home for you?

Speaker 17 (01:33:46):
Parmis the North?

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Okay? Nice to talk, Kesper, Yes, i'd ever ga three dollars,
New Zealand four point fifty, France five dollars, England five
point fifty, Ireland seven dollars. I'll put my money on
Ireland just because that song answer Ireland's call the I'll
get your Oh they play the what do they play?

(01:34:08):
The they play the cran reason then that was beg
with the Irish fans singing that. I enjoyed that during
the last World Cup. Interesting to that article about we'regov
and a zempic, because I don't know if you've been.
I mean, you go around town these days and you
see people you don't recognize they've lost that much weight,
and it's everywhere. I don't know if you're seeing it.

(01:34:29):
But the people that have just you know, clearly it's
a zepic or we're govy, and they're clearly ones that
can afford it. So what about those that can't afford it?
Although I think probably the supposition is that if you
are on it, you'd save that much by eating a

(01:34:51):
lot less, it probably would pay for it. But I
don't know if that they make that decision, but certainly
I think they would be benefits for our healthcare system.
It was funded. I don't know you might have a
thought about that. I don't know if you've experienced that.
You just that people and you're you know that you
see around and you just lost so much weight. I

(01:35:11):
don't know what to say about that anyway. Dick Fritter, Wow,
I've never heard that in the radio before, and I've
been around a bit. Not something I've never heard. But
they want to hear on the radio again. But twenty
eight away from eleven. If you want to be part
of the show, there's something else you want to talk about,

(01:35:35):
the Rugby World Cup. Marcus, can you shout out my
chamber of a wife, Connor, who was holding it down
in the hospital looking after our baby boy. Good on
your Connor. Contact also does broadband? Good crowd at the
football by the way, sell out again. They love the

(01:35:55):
Matilda's over there, don't they? They love them. They're all
in the strips, will half them and the strips most
have the scarves. Best invention radio everyone uses it Wi
Fi remote cell phone said like unsang hero of the
modern age. Marcus shout out to all the new parents
for the first time today. Going to be a long night,

(01:36:17):
but got z be here for the ride. What's the secret?
Are either father or the mother? I suppose you've got
to say mother. You got to say are you one
of the parents. I don't know the answer to that,
but yes, twenty seven. Or if you want to go
watch the football this is the New Zealand versus Australia

(01:36:40):
women's football, you've got to go to FIFA dot com.
Or you've got to go to tvn Z plus not
plus one but plus because tvn DE plus one is
just an hour behind. But we are talking on air
about all manner of stuff tonight. It's been interesting, it's
been broad. Parts have been very very interesting. Parts not

(01:37:02):
too interesting. It see if we can get the consistency
up for the fire hour and a half. If you
want to get into the fray. If you've got something
to say, I'm here for it. Breaking news when that happens,
I'll keep you updated. But in the meantime, if you've
got calls, let's see what you've got people. Oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty Oh, there's been a road that's

(01:37:26):
sitting sat in Southland. A man has been arrested after
a fleeing driver instant invere Cargo this afternoon. Put the
spikes out at Winton. Oh well, I don't know what
that's about, but there you go. It's enough for me
twenty seven away from eleven o'clock catching a bit twenty
tow eleven people, Tim Beverage long at twelve. Tim, you've
got that right, and looking forward to you and put

(01:37:48):
tonight if you want to talk about something different, you
might need to reset the scene tonight. You might be
out there doing something else. So I said, laughed so
loud at Dick Freder woke up the husband. Yeah, well
I was surprised. If you want to see how well
the fat jebs are going, you have to look at
the MP. I'm not going to say which one was mentioned.

(01:38:12):
No one's business ready. I suppose best invention, the jet engine,
worst adventure, religion, people inventing gold, and religion. And come,
would you say religion is an invention? I don't know what.
I guess you would?

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
I suppose then where you go with that one? And yes,
then we think we'll go back to my list of
topics as the best and worst inventions. I think the
worst inventions was more interesting. Actually, no one's mentioned crocs
never had a period. Actually, don't mind them. I did
want to talk to people's experience with a beep test.

(01:38:44):
If you did that and that recognize that you're a
great sports person. So come through and talk about that. Yeah,
I don't think I've ever done it. I think it
was after my day at school. While there's no official
record for the highest speech testcore alongst the All Blacks,
former trainer Gary Williams indicate that Bowden Bear is likely
the best, while Richard McCall also performed at exceptionally well

(01:39:07):
for his size, and Rica has known if we've been
very fast, strong, powerful and fitza he would have had
a high score. So there you go. Good on your chat. AI,
Oh you can. It does have the beep schools, I think.
I think there's probably a website to go to it. No,

(01:39:27):
I think that's got about what John Lomus was. I
actually get a school do you in a beep test? Yeah,
it's interesting. I don't know they're actually a school with it.
It's quite interesting. I can rate yourself against that. So anyway,
I do need your calls tonight. It's twenty away from

(01:39:47):
eleven and be in touch if you want to or not.
I don't really mind, but it'd be nice to hear
from you tonight, as we do. As we do, go
on and if there's something different that you want to
talk about. I've chucked out a few topics at you.
If these are ones for you, If there's something different,
that's good. I thought there might be people wanted to
mentioned about whether the government should fund were govy or

(01:40:10):
a zepic. I mean, viously, of course they do probably
funded if you've got diet. It's a drug for diabetics,
but just for pure weight loss. Just the fact that
people would lose weight would mean that probably health outcomes
would be a lot better. So that's something you can
talk about also tonight. If you want to getting ready

(01:40:31):
for Christmas, Christmas, Hams, Christmas cakes, I have. You've got
a Christmas late of things, Carols every shop I'm into.
The Carols seem to be different now. They all seem
to be Carol's Light, which I don't have a problem with.
They've tried to make them sound more contemporary. Well that's
probably a good thing. So she might have experienced that.

(01:40:52):
I've noticed that when I've been out and about that
the Carrols have changed much so less Christmas e and
more fun. And that's a good thing. Now let me
think anything else. I've got to tell you football's kicked
off Australia and New Zealand. Cooper's Stadium in Adelaide. Will

(01:41:13):
that be named after the bear Cooper's Ale? Maybe, but
a very good turn out there. And I think Sam
Kerr is playing, but not Mary Fowler. They are the
two great stars in the Australian team. Our last two
results have been five nil against Australians six nil against
the United States, so we'd be hoping we're doing slightly

(01:41:34):
better than this. I'll keep taping the brakes and hope
you give me a call. Nineteen to t eleven seventeen
away from eleven. Oh, it's called the Broncos Test for
Rugby Fitness. Well I didn't know that. Otherwise BEEP tests
maybe the Broncos have have I don't know why be
called the Broncos Test. It's called the Broncos Test. My

(01:41:56):
son is only point five seconds of Bowden Barrett's score.
Well that's impressive, someone says Marcus. I'm impressed with the
pope getting around the world. That's right. And he did
go to a mosque. He didn't, but he went to it.
I think that's the situation fair enough. I think he
took his shoes off and all. I think people always
respond well when the pope appears to be tolerant of
other cultures and faiths. I think that always goes well

(01:42:20):
with the the followers and non followers alike. Cheapest creepers.
That's therely a goal, Marcus. About the lady with the
broadband issues, I work for one New Zealand. Best to
talk to contact tomorrow because it's likely that the ont
box cruses in charge of is active, but the router

(01:42:41):
address hasn't been activated on the provider's end. It's common
for providers to get the address or move and date wrong. Yeah,
that seems to be what happened, and I can understand
that Marcus been here wanted to talk about high performance
in New Zealand. Netburne News it as a prime example.
Basketball museum has the same issue. An example, it's like

(01:43:04):
an all black playing for the Hurricanes, or the say
is the club has to pay a higher price for
that player. There's not enough funding. Someone says, what else
is Andrew Wins have been stripped off? I think he's
been stripped of everything. Yeah, that's right, it's not very
much of a laugh for life for him now bouncing
around his giant house with his ex wife. How that

(01:43:29):
resolves itself. But all these things can be discussed. But
as I say, all the lines are free. It's fifteen
to eleven if you want to talk to don't make
me say something controversial to make your ring because it's
always daft. That's when you get in trouble. But I'm
doing think of a good Christmas question for you. But yes,
get in touch if you want to be a part

(01:43:49):
of it. I say eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine to de text. Anything else you
mention or want to mention, come through and feel free
to get in touch. And so far we're talking about
the urgency capability of cell phones. How that they will

(01:44:13):
if you're an accident, If you're driving the car and
the car suddenly decelerates very quickly, then your phone will
contact the authorities to tell you of be an accident.
A lot of people aren't aware of that, which I
think is for every interesting. So yeah, it's a great
safety feature. That's a thing, and it's amazing that phones

(01:44:37):
have those capabilities. And then it ask you if you
want to communicate with them after thirty second. After thirty
seconds you can push your button say no, I'm fine.
They give you the opt out option. Yeah, Alistair, it's Marcus.
Good evening. How are you good, Alistair? How are you?

Speaker 20 (01:44:55):
I've a right doubts for four days through some work
and then to go back to Autland. Gee, yeah, I
just wanted to talk about that weight lass things.

Speaker 3 (01:45:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:45:10):
I don't know about funding it, but two years.

Speaker 6 (01:45:13):
Ago I committed myself to a low sugar lifestyle and
my health has changed dramatically as a consequence, also going
to the chymn as well and exercising and cycling and
all that sort of stuff. It's it's the proliferation of
refined garbage that we eat. It's available to eat, you know, cheapness.

(01:45:36):
But that's that's the real issue. You can fund drugs
to help people lose weight, and it's probably a good
idea and as a trypory health initiative.

Speaker 3 (01:45:46):
But yeah, I mean, all my reading about a zempic
and we go v seems as though it works on
a couple of functions, but it changes your brain chemistry
and then dolphins, So those foods that you always used
to eat no longer give you that pleasure. So even
if you are on that drug, you just start eating

(01:46:07):
really healthily anyway, it seems to follow. So so you know,
you are suddenly someone that's going to just eat the
vegetables of the fruit because nothing else. You don't feel
like any other food. So and these are for people
that probably tried, you know, try diet, you know, because
you always hear it diets don't work. How long have
you been on your one for I'm not on a diet.

Speaker 6 (01:46:30):
I've committed myself to a low sugar lifetime. I meat, cheese, fat,
but vegetables, a little bit of fruits, and I just
stay with bread pasta.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
Ship like that.

Speaker 6 (01:46:46):
And I'm sorry, that's what and yeah, and my life's
better and I feel good and I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:46:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
But but the question was alistair, how long have you
done this for?

Speaker 11 (01:46:58):
Two years?

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
Okay, so you said, and it's not like sex, it's
like six weeks. You're you're you're fairly counted to it. Yeah, okay,
you have, as you.

Speaker 6 (01:47:08):
Know, I don't drink alcohol either.

Speaker 7 (01:47:10):
I gave that up as well.

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
So, yeah, how much weight you lost?

Speaker 4 (01:47:15):
I was one hundred and one.

Speaker 6 (01:47:17):
Hundred and twenty five killos. I'm ninety five.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
Now they're still beg Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 6 (01:47:23):
Still I'm still I still wait. But I'm a hell
of a lot healthier than what I was.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
How do you know? Okay, how do you know you're
healthier than you were? You feel better?

Speaker 6 (01:47:35):
I can I can cycle for thirty kilometers wow, okay
and right up a hill.

Speaker 17 (01:47:41):
So yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:47:42):
And I fit clothes that I look good and so man.
Yeahs that's that's the difference, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
Did someone advise you on about or you just found
an article or what was your basis for it?

Speaker 11 (01:47:52):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:47:52):
Look, I've wrestled. I've wrestled with weight all of my life. Actually,
you know, I got I got a beast when I
was a kid and wrestled with it all in my life.
And it's just like I had to like beat this
blink and thing. You know, diet don't work.

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
And yeah, I'm quite heartened, Alistair, How old are you?

Speaker 4 (01:48:13):
I am sixty?

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
Oh? Hell, okay, that's been a long time then.

Speaker 6 (01:48:18):
Oh yes, it's been a long struggle.

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
Yeh Oh, nice to hear from you. Have a good
time in Williams Alista nine away from eleven here on
Midnight here's a great text. I like this a lot.
This is favorite night worthwhile Marcus has kicked off the
school bus, so bout thirty two k's two and from
schoolage day for a year. Then did the beep test
at school managed one fifty laps level fourteen point six.

(01:48:44):
It was pretty magic to be that fit once in
my life had beat the pe teacher who rated himself
and dropped out at one three to two laps. It's
a good story, Marcus. What's a good present for Christmas
for a teacher appreciation or should you give one?

Speaker 4 (01:49:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
Well, look I don't know the answer to that. Well
I do. I can say bit about that. We are
a family that gives teachers presents. That's not my doing.
And what can I say about that? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:49:23):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:49:24):
They work hard? I have spoken about this on air.
I think what teachers don't want is favorites, those chocolates
or scented candles. That's what teachers themselves have told me

(01:49:44):
what they want. I don't know. Could you give them wine?
Could you give them vouchers? I don't know what teachers want.
I guess it's horses for courses. Some teachers say they
want a letter from one of the students to remind
them of I don't think all of them would want that,

(01:50:05):
but I don't know me. I can't think what they
would want. So best gifts for teachers, I guess we've
got to celebrate that teachers are individuals and they probably
have a variety of different things that they would want.
So yes, But I think what happens with a lot
of families think, gosh, you're going to get the teacher something.
There he goes a box of favorites, And I think

(01:50:27):
what happens with favorites You don't get given, You don't
own favorites. You're just a caretaker of them until you
can't manage it to be like past the parcel with favorites, Yes,
desperately try and hand them off to someone else before
we get caught on Christmas Day with them. That would
be my impression of them. If you're given a box

(01:50:47):
of favorites, that pete person hasn't brought those for you,
They've just regifted them. Yeah, I think that's the way
it works, or nearly a goal. They're cheapest creepers. That
was good, we're peppering them, but we're don't all right
at the beginning of this match. But yeah, we could
go downhill quickly. Well done. Alistair on losing thirty kilograms

(01:51:09):
weight and lifestyle changes. Didn't think you gave enough praise?
Oh no, I didn't, actually, yeah no, I actually was
quite touched by him. Yeah, and sometimes I think sometimes
you gotta be careful with talk about callers. You can't
get them too much praise. They've become needy. I'm joking.
I'm a teacher. I love scented candles. Teachers don't want,

(01:51:31):
don't need or want coffee cups. Is it a breach
of the liquorors when you give a six pack of
beers and the rubbish and recycling collectors. No, I'd be
keen to hear feedback on medical alarms. Thank you. But
we're gonna have a good last hour, I hope. So
there's a lot going on. Oh wait, one hundred and

(01:51:52):
eighty said he's so close to the all whites, the
all whites, the silver ferns, to getting a goal, And
it was right on there there. I haven't scored for
a long long time. Teachers definitely need wine. I think
they enjoy a wine. Teachers do they Louise? It's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:52:05):
Good evening, evening, Marcos, how are you? Yeah, the person
asking about medical alarms, I have one, and I had
a recent experience where I had a fall outside and

(01:52:28):
I pressed the Buttom twice because I knew I'd fractured
my femur. You can tell when you've fractured something. And
I could hear them talking to my set inside, but
I couldn't make them hear me. Obviously, it took two
hours for the ambos to get there. They said they

(01:52:51):
didn't take it seriously.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
So why did they not when you were clearly.

Speaker 14 (01:52:59):
Because they couldn't hear what I was saying, but they would.

Speaker 3 (01:53:05):
That would mean that they should come run straight away.

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 14 (01:53:11):
I've now been flagged some high risk of a heart attack,
so they've put that on my file. But I called
out for help. I thought I can't just lie here.
This was a freezing day in June, and the neighborhood
boy less as cotton Socks heard me and told his mum,

(01:53:31):
and I yelled out my dress and the neighbors came around.
The neighbors wrung up the yambos themselves, and they said, oh,
we didn't take it seriously. So my advice is to
get the more expensive alarm that picks up anywhere, because
if you're outside like I was, and have a fall,

(01:53:55):
then yeah, evidently you can talk to the alarm, the
more expensive one.

Speaker 3 (01:54:04):
How much is your use this one costing you?

Speaker 14 (01:54:07):
Ah, thirty three dollars a fortnight?

Speaker 3 (01:54:10):
Okay, the dollar a day?

Speaker 14 (01:54:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get the more expensive one
because it's when I go outside.

Speaker 3 (01:54:21):
I can't work out why you could. Wouldn't be easy
to just have a cell phone and just text it? Yeah,
I can't work out.

Speaker 14 (01:54:27):
Well, I didn't have a cell phone on me. I
don't carry it around everywhere. Maybe I should, but yeah
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
That'd be my advice because you could have just could
have just wrung the ambulance from I mean normally when
you when you've had a four, you can still use
your phone, can't you.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:54:46):
True?

Speaker 14 (01:54:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but I didn't have But yeah,
that's good advice. Actually, you carry your phone on you
if you're prone to fools.

Speaker 3 (01:54:57):
And the FEMA men did itself?

Speaker 4 (01:54:59):
Did it.

Speaker 14 (01:55:01):
Still in process that takes forever, still painful at times?
You know? Yeah, don't break a femur?

Speaker 3 (01:55:10):
Did they say what did they say that was Did
they take the responsibility for not responding to.

Speaker 14 (01:55:18):
That, Yeah they did. My daughter actually got very angry
and the right of formal complaint and yeah they did.
They apologized and all the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
But sir John, it's the Eminence Service that runs the
Saint John's that run it, is it?

Speaker 14 (01:55:34):
Yeah? It was John One. Yeah, there was a Freedom
one as well.

Speaker 3 (01:55:38):
But freedom of mind. I've heard the jingles that freedom.

Speaker 14 (01:55:42):
Yeah, but you know, John one ghost and I'd rather
support than John.

Speaker 3 (01:55:48):
Sure, although that was useless.

Speaker 14 (01:55:52):
Well, yeah, I was just lucky that young boy happened
to be out in the yard and heard me.

Speaker 3 (01:56:00):
Yeah, could have you could have you set it off again.

Speaker 4 (01:56:03):
Or that wasn't.

Speaker 14 (01:56:06):
Yeah, And well I pushed it two or three times
because I remember in the hospitals you ring the bell
three times for an emergency.

Speaker 11 (01:56:15):
So I just did that.

Speaker 14 (01:56:16):
And yeah, maybe they thought the cat is still stood.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
Oh it just seems poor, I think, because that's the
whole point of it, that if if you're.

Speaker 14 (01:56:25):
Not doing yeah I know, yeah, yeah. My advice was
to either take your cell phone with your twenty four
to seven everywhere or get one of the more expensive
ones and if you go outside, put it on.

Speaker 3 (01:56:38):
Nice to talk. Thank you, Louise. You might want to
respond to that if you want to talk. Oh eight
one hundred and eighty ten eighty someone set me photos
of crowds at friend Joseph tonight. They look amazing. Soh Cumulus,
did you know that Google uses tricycles and the snowmobiles
as well as the three cars to record street views
in New Zealand? I didn't know that. I didn't know

(01:56:58):
they had three cars in New Zealand a lot of roads.
So where did you find that?

Speaker 11 (01:57:05):
Out?

Speaker 3 (01:57:05):
Must have been on Google? A Hattel twelve. You want
to talk on here at eighteen past seven, I'd like
to hear from teachers as far as what you want
for Christmas. That's important. I want to hear if you
think the government should fund We'll go VI and a
zempic for weight loss. I imagine these drugs well, I'm
gonna say imagine they become much cheaper as other ones

(01:57:25):
come on. But that mightn't be the case. Oha eight
hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine. To text anything else
you want to talk about, feel free to come through.
Marcus recently, grandson of myself looked up Google Maps to
have view a place I used to go to years ago.
We found the street and there I was getting out
of my car. That's funny. I do remember seeing the

(01:57:50):
car with the camera on top going past.

Speaker 11 (01:57:53):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
Yes, if you see it going past, you want to
do something amusing. I don't know what the amusing thing
is to do, but you certainly want to do it. Yeah,
to be their fraternity. Maybe that's why I don't tell
people when they're going to go past, because they'd be
doing something Marcus. I have two Saint John's Alarm medical alarms.

(01:58:16):
One is at home limited to about four hundred meters
from base. The other is a go anywhere alarm which
is linked to every cell phone tower forty nine to
fifty per fortnighte with free ambulance. That's from Christy. Thank you, Chrissy.
I shall keep reading your texts as I wait your call.
Someone makes a point, why does everyone in the media
say Sint John when the wedd is Saint I don't
know I do that, I'm sure myself Saint John St John.

(01:58:39):
Got no answer to that. I guess it's just laziness,
Sint John. Saint John St John. I can't answer that
any more than that. Who So, what have we learned tonight?
Hey people, I don't know now how are we going
with the hornets. They're using advanced tracking technology from the

(01:59:06):
Netherlands to trace hornets back to their nests. It's a
great idea. I hadn't thought of that. That's going to
be introduced by Biosecurity the next phase of the eradication project.
So that's a really good idea. More than half of
the thirty queen hornets found by Biosecurity in New Zealand
showed evidence of having a nest. What what the evidence is?

(01:59:28):
But the Ministry of Primary Industries will as soon be
able to turn the pests in satial desire to build
nests against them. High high tech tracking technology from the
otherans has arrived. In the latest update today, nineteen of
the thirty confirmed queen hornets were found with either developed
nests or evidence of nesting. The tracking strategy will focus

(01:59:52):
on male hornets. What happens over the next four to
six weeks. If we're starting to find mail as, we
can put traps out which actually catch the male hornet.
We then put this tracking technology on the hornet and
what we can do is then follow it back to
the nests. Then we go to the nests and destroy it.
This will be what it likes when the droids come
to attack us just the same way. This will be

(02:00:14):
a test case. It's like a small tracking device with
a small antenna on it which can go into the
mail hornet and again we then trace that back and
particular time of the day at night back to the nest.
It's worked in the UK, he said. The timing was
important with the nest, making behavior of the cornets to
change in the coming weeks.

Speaker 4 (02:00:35):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:00:37):
I felt this was quite hopeless with the hornts. This
feels much more positive, so I'm happy with that. Just
to reiterate to its half time with the football. Yes,
oh wait, hundred eighty ten eighty someone's finally text about
turkey eggs. Re turkey eggs. I had a turkey when
I was young. I don't know why we didn't eat

(02:00:57):
her eggs, but they were very good for baking, especially sponge.
No one can tell me why you never see turkey
eggs David's Marcus, good evening and welcome archus.

Speaker 8 (02:01:08):
I've often wondered what is the purpose of a hornet.

Speaker 3 (02:01:11):
What is there exactly?

Speaker 8 (02:01:14):
You know, I've got another week question for you. Mike
Tyson's alternative ring name to Iron Mike, do you know
what it was? No, I don't, kid Dynamite.

Speaker 3 (02:01:32):
Is it on the chase?

Speaker 4 (02:01:36):
Dave?

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
Dave dropped out? That was it from Dave? Brilliant, good, good, snappy,
brilliant Marcus. I get that it's Saint John, but can
we not just have them as called the ambulance as
far as was They're a nasty bunch. I hope they
get rid of hornets before they get comfortable, that's right. Please.
They take bugs so seriously once they arrive. Remember, for

(02:02:03):
while they had fruit bands, you couldn't move fruit from
different areas in Aucklands had a lot of this. We
had the painted apple moth and then the marmorated There
was one stuck in cruise ships off shore, the marmorated
stink beetle is that what it was called. They got
rid of them all in the Dutch elm disease. I
don't know that was a bug. But yes, it's been

(02:02:24):
a number of times that they've tried to spray overhead
and things for that. But yeah, this horn is besky.
Have you n't sen one marmorate. Was it called the
marmorated beetle?

Speaker 11 (02:02:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:02:36):
I don't know the answer. I'm just gooping myself. Twenty
five to twelve marmorated stink bug. That's what we had
almost here and they got rid of it. I think
it was on ships off shore. I don't even know
what the word marmorated means actually, but look, I'm really
welcoming your calls who want to come through the late flurry,

(02:02:59):
because we need a late flurry. Marmorated means veined or
streaked like marble.

Speaker 14 (02:03:06):
All.

Speaker 3 (02:03:07):
I never told that us that at the time. Mmerated
says here on your ties, doesn't it? Hi, Sandy, this
is Marcus. Welcome like this by Sandy.

Speaker 4 (02:03:20):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 11 (02:03:21):
You're just talking about the lanes. A watch that it's
a GPS alone works anywhere in the world, corresponds to
your falling over by reading it any of five telephone

(02:03:47):
numbers that you're pretty programming to it. And if you
fall over, the watch talks to you. It's a telephone,
it says, and it writes on the face of it
so you can read it. This is a fall of
did you four if you don't reply. It brings the

(02:04:13):
numbers in your head and with none of those reply
or can't act. It rings the ambulance one one one
and you can talk to it. You can use it
as a telephone or whatever. There's a camera, all sorts
of things it does or using act a bunch of them,

(02:04:36):
all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:04:37):
What's the what's the good? What's the good sending?

Speaker 11 (02:04:41):
It's a smart watch. There's lots of them on the market.

Speaker 3 (02:04:45):
Now what brand is it?

Speaker 11 (02:04:48):
My all my ones an eye watch. It's it matches
with iPhones and or Apple products, talks to them all.
But I wear it because it's a four man and
it certainly works.

Speaker 3 (02:05:09):
If you got that, And it sounds like that would
work better than the Saint John's medical alarm. Would that
be right?

Speaker 11 (02:05:17):
Oh much? You know, it's just it's a psych a watch,
but it does a whole other things, just the same
as your smart phone does. Yeah, well, that's per for me.
There's a form alarm and even if you fall and
knock your head in your unconscious that works, of course.

Speaker 3 (02:05:41):
If you don't respond, And I imagined after the initial
cost it would be much cheaper to run than a
medical arm.

Speaker 11 (02:05:49):
Well, it doesn't cost anything to around. You buy it
outright and you just charge it up whenever it needs charging.

Speaker 3 (02:05:57):
There would be a it would have to be on
a on a program though. Wouldn't you be paying ten
dollars a month for it? Wouldn't you.

Speaker 11 (02:06:07):
You have to pay for the I don't know what
it costs for the.

Speaker 3 (02:06:13):
Two fon yep, yep, okay, okay.

Speaker 11 (02:06:21):
Very very sophisticated by board mine second hand as a refurbished,
second hand late model, not the latest model and problem
from the app off store.

Speaker 3 (02:06:38):
Oh, I appreciate that it's any nice to hear from me.
Thank you for that. That's good news that that works
well for you.
