Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Greetings, Welcome here till twelve o'clock. My name is Marcus.
Where I'm looking at road closures. There's going to be
a lot of that tonight. I'm serving several masters side,
but the number one master is people's safety. Interesting enough,
it's the first update I've got for the South Island
State Highway seventy five in South Islands Banks Peninsula that
has closed due to a falling tree. There are down

(00:34):
power lines there. I had no idea had come so
far south so soon. It's actually been a free, warm
and still day down south. It's been a week like that.
It's hard to know, but we will take your updates
tonight as we go through till twelve. So what I
feel that I can achieve with this microphone is a

(00:58):
hearing your calls and your questions about where the weather
is really bad. B informing you about roads that are
closed or open. Although I think the scenes is probably
you should be staying home and if you need to
go somewhere, I can help you out with that, and
see helping out with power cuts and when I'm in
power cuts I can. If you haven't got a power cut,
you probably haven't got the internet. And if you've got

(01:20):
the internet, then you haven't probably got data to work
out what transpower when they're saying you're going to be
recollected connected. So I will do what I can to
be of use to you tonight. That's the planned stand.
So yeah, it's a it's an event. And apparently Auckland's
blowing like Billeo and the Harbor Bridge is probably could
be might be closed. I'll keep you updated on that. Also.

(01:41):
I've got that many road closures. The map of the
North on wock at Catay's website looks like it's called
Measles the North Island, so there's that many closures, so
I will keep you updated with those also too. But
back at you if you want to bring that information through.
If you've got weather updates for me, tell me what's happening,
because it's often on nights like this that no one

(02:02):
knows quites what happening until someone calls the radio and
says this is happening. Because I don't imagine the reporters
will be out there, well they will be, but you
know it's dark and often they don't see the stuff
they need to see. So I'm relying on our audience
of however many hundreds of thousands or millions that is
out there to let us know what's going on. I
wouldn't go driving, well, I wait, because I'm at work,

(02:23):
but if you're out there, I wouldn't go driving. But yeah,
it's mainly seems as I looking at the map and
all the dots, it's mainly north. It's mainly the far north,
run the hawky younger around there. That's where the major
But if you wouldn't want to be driving north of
fang Are, you won't be doing anything up there at all.
It just looks like it's a bad it's a bad scene.
But get in touch. If you've got updates, it's a
text or call them through. I just want to be
the be the conduit tonight and let you know what's happening.

(02:48):
There's some other stuff I'll let you know about, but
mainly it's about the weather tonight. So if you have
got updates, let me know what those updates are. Stay home,
stay safe, stay home, stay stay home, stay dry, stay safe.
That's what Fisher is saying. David Fisher, he's the He's
only held a put who lives up there. He's at
the White Tonguey golf Course. He's traveled from Kitty Kitty

(03:08):
through Mortiwa, CoA Co and pay Here to White Tonguey.
He says. The weather has been wild all day. I've
been in my drive around this afternoon, trees down these
areas that have powers out. There's roads that are flooded
in places. Farmers are looking at the windows wondering where
the Panics went and why there's lakes in their place.

(03:29):
It looks mild though, that's the good thing. Perry's going
to go to one or two o'clock and then the
precious is going to head off shore. But fifty roads
and six state highways shut yeah, and there seems to
be the worst is about now. I don't know what
they're saying, but if you come across a flooded road,
you don't go into it. I know, human eight things. Oh,
I've come this far, I'll go You never do. That

(03:50):
always ends badly, and it's going to get serious in
the South Island, also tas Man in particular, in line
for some of the more extreme impacts. I'm looking at
the picture on windy and she's on it. She's all
on bottom of the South Island. Might be saved, but
that sounds self senter, So I get in touch with you.
I've got any updates on that eight hundred and eighty

(04:11):
eighten eighty partic. If you're driving around Auckland there is flooding,
or if you're in the north and there is fooding,
let us know how that is going, what you're going
to do about it. The number is eight hundred and
eighty e ten eighty, and text those updates through. I
want other stuff to talk about, but manly, I want
to get this covered off so I can actually know
that we've got people, we are of service to them.
I want to talk about some scams also tonight they're back.

(04:32):
There is an ASB scam. Watch out for this one,
the ASB bank scam. When I say the ASB bank scam,
it's not the ASB Bank that's scamming people. You'd hope
what the scammers are doing now is they are I'm
surprised I haven't done this earlier. Oh no, firstly, I'm

(04:54):
going to do this right now. This is slightly funny evening, Marcus.
First time i've emailed you. I hope this email finds you.
My name was June Graham. Someone last night damaged my
vehicle gas cap and has stolen a full tank of
diesel one hundred and eighty dollars worth. My vehicle was

(05:18):
parked outside my home on Southampton Street, christ Church. It
says I'm Solomon, who works six days to pay and
feed my children. A big thanks to the builder Robert
across the road, who at seven thirty am gave me
fifty liters he had laying around. He also got my
vehicle start. He refused to let me pay them back.
There are good people around now. This is June Graham,

(05:40):
And when it said I'm Solomon, I thought it must
mean I'm Sam Owen, although the name grahamed in like
a Simon's surname. So I've emailed her back and she's
replied and it says I'm a solo mother, So yeah,
not some ooen. But so yeah, that was a surprise,
wasn't it. The cheapest screepers. So she's a solo mum.

(06:01):
So she's lost one hundred dollars worth. She's got fifty
letters from across the road, so she's still thirty bucks
down and Robert's down one footy, but he's a good man.
He's refused to pay. So that people are stealing petrel,
and not only are they stealing petrel from last night,
there are people that this is human nature. When there's

(06:21):
a news story that's got a lot of people kind
of twigged out. There was a guy last night that
think there was a guy last night that was paranoid
about his fuel being stolen. And I'm sure it wasn't stolen,
but he himself was paranoid. He was getting the dogs
onto it and he's getting the cameras into it. But
you do be careful because the last thing you want

(06:41):
to do is have your pittrol I don't know. And
the scheme of things, it's going to be a crime.
That's going to be the maxim amount. It's going to
be two hundred bucks, but yeah, that will be for her.
So if you've got advice about how to not get
your fuel stolen, I thought that fuel kepts these days
had metal spirals, so you couldn't put the hose in
because you remember, as teenage you had siphoned petrel with

(07:02):
that wide hose, the same one you use for a
bit well, not the same one for the users the
beer bong, but the same aperture. But yeah, I just
thought you couldn't put the pipe in because there was
that decreasing coil. So could someone tell me how to
siphon petrol these days and how to stop it? And
also the weather. I feel we need to talk about

(07:22):
the weather. Marcus my son has just bordered a plane
in Willington to christ a tailwind. It's great you keep
us all informed during such events as the storm. Really well,
I can only do what I'm working with that people
tell me about. So if you have got information, if
you're out driving in your wallyphone hands free, let me
know what's happening in the north. How is kayle? That

(07:43):
always floods, doesn't it? And all these things I'd like
to know more about. So if you've got some information
and suggestions for our caller June during Solomon, I should
actually look at how and I do know how I
saw somemer of course would be solo. Mum. My email said,

(08:04):
just you say Solomon, Just for clarity, do you mean
own no solo?

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Mother?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
There we go. It was a tankful of diesel. So
Southampton strict chastis. Don't know where that is, but that's
well anyway. If you want to start the whole ball
rolling fifteen past eight, get in touched Marcus till midnight
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. But particularly about the weather,
I do want to talk. I feel we need to
cover that off tonight because that's important because there's safety

(08:29):
warnings like there is no tomorrow and I want to
wake up to this morning and finding out that there's
been bad stuff for happy. I haven't warned people about it.
It is a significant event, and the South ISLD is
set to be hit with serious weather. TA has been,
in particular, in line for some more extremes, but there's
already been road closures in Banks Peninsula. I'm on windy

(08:51):
dot com now looking at the windows it arrives. What
a great name that isn't it windy dot Com? So
easy to remember? Oh yeah, wow, goodness. It's off the
west coast, it's off darker CAAB, but it's bringing the
water down and around, it's pulling it in in a
fross sixteen past eight. I'll bring the map up to

(09:13):
so I can talk to EVERYLM where they are.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Jesse it's Marcus, thanks for calling in welcome.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
How's it going you?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Good things? Jessee? How's it going to you? More importantly, Ah, I.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Just got in a flight from christ Church, sir off,
so it was pretty funny. Stop putting a holding pattern
for a while. And now I'm trying to get home
to rural taker and north. So I think I'll make
it the for' doing the open still. But the it's
very very heavy rain. There lots of word and lots

(09:48):
of certain funding and I think it gets worse that
you go up north.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
So do you think you are making Do you think
you are making a wise decision? I guess probably you
want to get home. There's no place like home.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Yeah, I think so, just because it seems like it's
further north.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Are we certainly very careful going over and it because
I'm a solo. I've been away for three days, so
I need to get me into my daughter. So that's
but yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Is it much? Is there much traffic on the road?

Speaker 6 (10:23):
A few cars around? Not not not hate?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Were people.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Was that very woody half rain?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Were people being sick on the flight?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
No, they were being sick, but I was pretty.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, there is a there there are slips on the
Brindeau when near the Manga Manga to intersection, so it
says due to slips, cautions advised along this route. But
they're not saying it's closed. It's just a giant explo
exclamation mark there.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Love, there's always going to be slipped on the I
just worry that they're going to choose that's that route
for the four Lan. It's always going to.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Have How far up are you? How far up a
you're now?

Speaker 6 (11:16):
I'm almost to Alford so not too much further to.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Go another hour?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Thanks for the heads up, Jesse. Good to know and
keep in touch of you. Got weather updates, let me
know what they are eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and to text Hi, Marc, is that woman leaving her
Cara on Southampton Street again tonight? Thanks Siphon Maloney. That's
a fairly pointed text, isn't it, Marcus? Something just a little

(11:41):
left field. Robbie Williams tickets went on sales today. I
was interested to see how many people went and trying
to purchase tickets with concert. My wife managed to secure
too and replied it was a stressful experience. Is because
that's the concert the government subsidizing for no reason because
he was coming anyway, which has got me a bit ticked.
So yeah, tell me how hard it was to do,
because I think most of us I don't want. I

(12:02):
don't want a concert brag, but I thought most of
us have seen them, haven't we? Anyway, he's back. I
think the movie when he was a Monkey people liked,
didn't they? They thought, wow, he was a monkey. We
managed to pull it off. It put me off going
to see it, but people know that w had to
see it, loved it anyway. Eight hundred and eighties said,
if you've got weather updates for me tonight, there is

(12:23):
other stuff we will talk about. How to stop someone
stealing your petrol? What is the advice for that? What
I imagine you'd do is just put not much gin, but
then you might run out. I see on South and
Facebook they are advising the fieries, advising people not to
stash it because it's flammable, which I thought was a

(12:46):
wise thing to say. I don't know how much you're
allowed to stockpile, but how would they check sendrones into
your skyline? Garrett, you don't think so. But the people
have good techniques about how to stop people sipling. You guess,

(13:07):
I don't know. I don't even know how they do it.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Now.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Someone says, get chicken wire and put it down the
neck of the fuel tank. Yeah, it's not a bad
idea anyway. I think how manyone's got locked hatches, haven't they?
But you've got advice about that too. Yeah, someone says,
get some chicken wire, make a ball and gem it
down the fuel pipe. Wow, couldn't they get out with

(13:34):
a bit of wire. I can be a number eight
while they just put it down there with a hook
on it, wouldn't they They make incognito devices. That's like
a whisk slides in the pipe of your tank, stopping
the chew from going down. It seems like an empty tank.
Do they get diverted? Twenty one past eight If you
want to talk, Marcus, I have rigged a shotgun to

(13:57):
my diesel tank, went off with a bang. It to
a in this morning. Two people ran into their car.
I've blocked the road with my track until the police
arrived through. That guy's telling the truth. What other things
he's texted have been never texted before? Probably true? He's
motivated twenty two past eight eight five cow, This is
Marcus Good Evening siphoning.

Speaker 7 (14:21):
Oh oh this couple of years at the moment.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
But are you talking about siphoning? Yes, yeah, what's the
what's the answer? What can you tell me?

Speaker 7 (14:33):
The one you've got to be prepared for is the farmers.
You know, all the big tenths and the and the
farm Yet I used to stoppen ll help audy guns
in there at the time. They don't know about it.
Don't you take that home for my time?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Would you use a pump?

Speaker 2 (14:56):
No?

Speaker 7 (14:57):
No, no, just suppon a straight out of the host.
Oh well the farmers, you know, the top hockeys, they'll
live just.

Speaker 8 (15:06):
We just use a Newton.

Speaker 7 (15:08):
It doesn't have to be straight out of the pa. Nah,
there's ski Okay, I'll.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Leave it there, but thank you, cal Pauline, Marcus Good evening.

Speaker 9 (15:16):
Marcus. Excuse me. If you want to stop people siphoning
petrol from your car, back up against the house or
the shed so that that part of the car is
against somewhere and they can't get into it. Wow, that's
all I do. Or I packed the car outside the
bedroom window. But if you back it up against so

(15:39):
so the side with the petrol cap is against right
up against the wall of the house or the shed,
so that you can still get out the driver's door.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Do you reckon? You'd sleep so lightly you could hear
someone sucking the phone.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
I hear everything over turn of my ears over seventy years.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Wow, have you ever heard any one attempting to siphon?

Speaker 4 (16:02):
No, we'll go.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, you got some good techniques and you always market
so they can't get at it.

Speaker 9 (16:08):
No, haven't actually been bothering until you've been speaking.

Speaker 10 (16:11):
It's bad because that's the point.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I'm putting fear of God into people pauling. Think
you someone said that most people probably when they siphon,
and I was just going to talk to Carl about that,
they just take the bung out, the drain bung. That's
the quickest way to remove the fuel. But what s
the Thafao has said is that missus Solomon should get

(16:35):
someone to check that the thieves have tightened up the
drain bung because she might put fuel in a model
drain out at the end of time. Isn't It's just
like that old Trump think, Oh, we're going to win
this war. Next thing. You know, no one can go
on a holiday. East is coming along. Everyone's having a
staycation and the airline in your dinners lost two million
dollars and talkbacks talking about how not to have your

(16:58):
fuel stolen because Trump thought he could win a war.
By the way, Canterbury Police have just posted on Facebook.
Police are aware of multiple Facebook marketplace games evolving sellers
advertising firewood with no intention of following through on the deal.
So just be careful with your firewood. Seems to be
a bit of a low blow that one friend says

(17:21):
one of the funniest jokes you've ever heard siphoning. No,
it doesn't mean a couple of beers. I wasn't quite
sure what he thought I was. I don't even know
what siphoning means when it comes to drinking xt year.
I was a bit taken aback by that. Just anyway, Yeah,

(17:42):
I was still not. It's been a funny night for me, actually,
I think exis anyway, is that like a beer bong?
Is it is that when you it must be when
you got the funnel in the hose, keep those ticks.
So we're going to talk about scams also and siphoning
and stealing, stealing petrel and the weather, Marcus, rain has

(18:03):
eased here and farm are they But it has a
horrible day with a wind that blew some scaffolding over
the job site and cause damage to the work ash
and cows. Nice to hear from your ashen kels, Marc.
A lot of fuel tanks are plastic. Now people just
punch a hole in the bottom of it with a
container under that Mark's hoard his story. But a person
putting dehorning paste used for cattle on their fuel bowser

(18:26):
when their fuel was being stolen? What would that do?
Just more about the people taking fuel because we've got
the perfect storm. It's a fuel crisis and the cost
of living crisis. I work within the repair vehicle repair industry.
People are literally drilling holes in the bottom of petrol tanks. Now, wow, goodness,

(18:48):
Marcus loved the show. I heard the latest trick and
petrol theater is drilling the bottom of your fuel tank.
Most of them are plastic. As quick and fast, Bugger,
I mean, is this not a reason that you'd want
to go to a battery I know that everyone for
everyone on this show love to mock battery battery cars,
electric car, but it seems though it's a pretty sweet
spot to have, now, isn't it. Yeah, So get in touch.

(19:11):
If you want to talk about fuel, How are you
going to stop people taking your fuel? What de horning
paste do? Is that meaning it's gonna do something to
people's hands. I don't really know what dehuning paste would do.
I've never had anything to do with dehorning paste, although
I have got that that ram anyway, I've google, I've googled,

(19:32):
I eed it goodness might be worth a Facebook post, Dan.
People love that it is exactly It's exactly the same,
isn't it?

Speaker 5 (19:42):
So?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I know that if you make them look the same
size too, Dan, if you do your little wiggle wiggly wigglies.
Someone has pulled it out to me, this is interesting.
It doesn't happen very often. Some are it's the shame
that's not a prize for its Some astute channel switcher
surfer has emailed me and said they've texted me. Now

(20:08):
I can't find the text mark. Is just wondering if
anyone else noticed both Melissa on one News and Lisa
on three News had the same exact outfit on tonight,
and Dan's done the deep dive and they have got
the same outfit on the two of them. It's Lisaette.

(20:28):
I think it's Zette, is it? And it's even got
the same belt to three button black tunic dress with
a belt with an oval buckle. And I think the
caption should be who wore it better? Can we say that?
Dan was that? Does that? I think you always do
those ones? Is who wore it better?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Gosh?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
She never got the same here, haven't They were the
central central parting, Although Lisa it's got some more falling curls.
But she wishes she's back. And she's a good war
report of that one, isn't she? But she wishes she's
back in the cut and thrust of it. Hello, Mark,
this is Marcus. Welcome here.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
Hi, I've got a funny story about me.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I've got the show for you because this is it
because we've got to siphoning and a bit of lighthearted
relief would probably be good.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. There was a motor home
this is about twenty years ago, was going already, yeah,
And there was a pearl of vomit.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yes, And.

Speaker 10 (21:22):
He got the wrong the wrong and so the guy,
the guy was laughing his head off. Anyway, that's my story.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
So siphon the septic tat the what do you call
that thing in a camba vanffluent?

Speaker 4 (21:38):
The effluent.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, that would be unpleasant, wouldn't it because you could
see that happening too in the dark with the head
torch crawling around. Probably have a few drinks beforehand, just
to take away the smell of the taste of diesel
when that comes in your mouth. Good donk Oh.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
Yeah, it would have been horrific, wouldn't it, Because those
things those they think, don't they it's fluid, it's liquid.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Horrible. It puts me off motor homes, just the fact
of the fluid. That's yeah. I just don't like anything
about that.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
Anyway.

Speaker 10 (22:09):
I had a good giggle anyway. It wasn't my truck,
but I was just because I saw this pile of
moment it I smelled it.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, it's a good story, Mark, I like that, Thank you.
Twenty five to nine. There we go, the full gammut.
It's about siphoning. Marcus cand I Marcus sim pressed to
use windy dot com. It's premo inaccurate to the quarter hour,
and I've been using it sailing since twenty twelve. Why
we get while we fund met Services beyond me. Cheers

(22:36):
pedro Piirs been sailing on the birth at Marsden Point
throughout the day, but now moderating. Marcus, you can't get
the the haunting paste hornecks that I used forty years
ago had a really strong essenate and it would burn
like hell till you could wash it off. Has anyone
had someone who had their entire fuel tank taken off?
How do people know what guests they are taking? Not

(22:58):
all cars take the same fuel. I think you're pretty
I think you're just happy with it. I don't know.
I'm not out there siphoning Marcus fairly gusty here in
mosgiel tonight, Diane Crude is back up again over one
hundred and five old Brent Crude. By the way, since
the crisis started, I've had four callers ring up who've
been called Brent, and I've called them all Brent Crude,

(23:18):
and not one of them has laughed. They've all just
sounded silent and sort of baffled why anyone would make
fun of their name. Oh well, we live and we learn.
It's up to one hundred and four to sixty one
BN Crude. For those that don't know brent Crude is
named after the Brent oil field off Scotland, and the

(23:38):
Brent Crude oil field off Scotland is named after the
Brent Goose. Yeah, and that's happened, And I'll put the
picture up soon of the two news readers. You might
have spotted that extra for experts. Now, let's just have
a bit of a quick round robin on the weather.
I've got all the apps open to tell you as
much as I can as soon as I can. I

(24:01):
wonder how our friend north of kait Tyre is going.
So I'm just looking at the rolling coverage. Peck and
Save kait Tire is flooded. A local told stuff the
Awanu River banks behind Kaye Tires, Pack and Save have burst.

Speaker 12 (24:16):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Let me just look at the geography of that one.
Was I'm familiar with that and they're quite right, there
is that river behind that. Although part of me things, gosh,
if anyone can refford to repair their thing, it's it's
the Jawopli, isn't it. It's hard to feel sorry for them,
but yes, they are right. But they are right beside
a river. So the Awu River has birth is and
I would say a lot of Kaitaia would be vulnerable
to the bursting its banks, would they not? So you

(24:40):
mon of the men tell about that too. Jeepest creepers
twenty one away from nine. So the has broken its
banks near Kaitia. Peck and save matt ats Marcus. Good
evening and welcome.

Speaker 10 (24:50):
Hi there, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Hi.

Listen, people scoring on field.

And carry in the carriage. You're going to be very
careful for your insurance. There's a legal limit I know
with LPIG tanks, so you're not allowed any more than
forty five kg, so five nine kg bottles. And there's
a similar kind of thing for petrol as well. I'm
not sure exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
So yeah.

Speaker 14 (26:23):
And there are guys that are going around with pumps
that you can pump water with and they're undoing the
tanks that caps on diesel tents of trucks and just
pumping them out and you'll pump them out in about
four minutes at that.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
How do you know this? How do you know this? John?

a lot of people are short of money, right now.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, it's a double at a double headed because there's
the shortage of money and the fuel expense. To John,
appreciate your wisdom tonight. Oh wait hundred eighty to eighty
nine to text wow in Channel nine in Australia. One
of the weather woman that's got sacked for being fifty.
She's naming names because she's been replaced by someone younger.

(27:17):
It's bad, isn't it? Short life span? The old weather
woman get in touch by name is Marcus Welcome eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine. Two detects
looking forward to your calls. A lot going on. Busy night,
brilliant if you go to Mark slash nights, we've got
up the two news readers the same outfit. How that happens?

(27:40):
Who'd you vote for? Dan Okay sixteen to nine. Harbor
Bridge is still open. The car strangled Spanner, but the
wind is coming and it's coming strong. A lot of
road closures, a lot of road I don't know, I'm
saying everything twice, but yeah, a lot of road closures.
If you got weather updates for us, there's all sorts
of the weather denies saying oh it's just where they

(28:01):
get over it, but bearing in mind the last time
we had it's just weather. Six people. There's shots of
the Wayamamaku River mouth and pack and save Kai Tire
is flooded. The Awui has burst its banks. There are
water tanks flooding down the Awanui River. We all start

(28:21):
having a laugh, but buzzing out that someone lost their
water tank and Nelson Tasman's Civil Defense. Please make sure
you are ready if the weather turns for the worst,
the weather settling in an aspit to make sure you
are ready high possibly of heavy rainfalls, of extra careful
around rivers and streams. So there we go, you would
be I was surprised on the old summer holiday. What

(28:43):
a big I mean, that's a It's not an insurmountable
road to drive the Tarkaka one, is it. I wasn't driving,
but as the passenger, that's where I do my best
work I have. I'm in charge of catering with the
chopping board and the knife and doing cheese on crackers.

(29:03):
It seems as though it for family trips. It's better
for the kids are fed regularly. I don't know why
they're not doing their own crackers, but there we go,
although I call it the shop, and I say the
shop is open and it runs very very a regular hours.
It's quite if I say more crackers and cheese and
I'll say sorry, shops closed, and then to have some myself. Anyway,

(29:31):
someone's asking me why I don't try on the pantsuit myself. Well,
I can't try on the pantsuit because I haven't got
it here. It's TV end in In TV three Cheaper
ten to nine, someone says the biggest fuel siphoner is
the government. For every dollar rise in fuel price, no
matter what type of octane rating, the ex checker gets
fifteen cents in GST. Surprise. It took an hour to

(29:54):
get there, but you're quite right, they are the biggest siphoner.
Marcus left pull up with this morning and just riving
and just finishing an l But it's been raining and
blowing all day. We'll be glad to get into some
dry clothes. What are you on a motorbike? Windy has
held an openaki but only had a couple of mills
to rain this morning, Hoping for a good dal Edge tonight.
Roscoe Marcus siphoning the septic tank as an old wives tale.

(30:16):
The tank only has an outlet on the outside for draining,
which is downline. Could never confuse with a fuel inlet.
Steve O oh, Steve, it was a good story. By
the way, this is interesting from a broadcasting point of view.
Kyle Sandalin's case goes to court on Monday tomorrow, sorry,
Friday tomorrow, and the key to the court case is

(30:38):
because he was a controversial broadcaster, there was a thirty
second delay. We operate on a seven second delay on
Kyle Sandalin's show. That a thirty second delay, and management
would listen to the stuff that went out and dumped it. Yeah,
So the theory is the written what was written to

(31:00):
Kyle's contract was the radio station is responsible for what
goes to air because they hadn't dumped him talking to
his co host about Prince Andrew King Andrew, Prince Andrew
former Prince Andrew. So yeah, he could just do what
he wants because they dump what they didn't want. So
it's a good defense they'll win. That's my take on

(31:21):
that one. Be an interesting case. I've been watching that
locally too. I would think not that I'm saying there's
someone here that's got a situation with a thirty second delay,
but you never know they're aways interested. Get in touch
if you want to talk. Here till midnight six away
from nine. As I say, eight hundred and eighty Marcus,
we were planning to go to the Warnica air Show,

(31:41):
then up to Nelson and Collingwood over ten days over Easter. However,
due to the price of christ Judge will only be
going to Warnica and back to christ Church. This will
kill the economy. Yes, I reckon there'll be a few
cheap airbnbs coming up because people will be canceling because
the fuel price will be too much. And as for
the air show, Wow, goodness, I feels a bit wrong now,

(32:03):
doesn't it. Those planes jetting around, the helicopters and all
the people driving all around the South End to see
those planes. Read the room, Marcus. An email from Jay.
How can two newsreaders wear the same dress on the
same night. They have numbers of dresses they can choose from.
Very strange. Oh, I think probably. Clothing is probably quite

(32:24):
a difficult thing for I think probably they have people
that PEPs provide clothes because they want new styles to
be worn, and there's probably brokers that provide the clothes
and they clip the tick on each side, so I
could see it happening. There's just not that much response
on the comments about it. There's more response on the

(32:47):
earlier posting. But Lork be in touch if you want
to talk. Mynames Marcus, Welcome, head to twelve o'clock tonight.
We're talking about have you got an interesting petrol siphoning
story now that we've had the classic, which is the
motor home been siphoned from the sewerage tank. That's one
of always one of the great comments. A lot going
on with the flood internationally, with the war that will

(33:09):
be impossible for Trump to get out of. But the
latest most recent news is the Yawanui River behind the
Kataya Peck and Save. There might have been the first
peck and save. Interestingly enough that has breached and the
pack and save has flooded. So I've also got shots
of the why Mamaku River mouth has been flooded. I
don't quite know where that is. I'm sorry, but let

(33:30):
me just look. I've got one of the rolling news
fee that I like to go to. And if you
have got weather updates from where you I expected more
of the weather updates, but that's fine, you go do
your best. I appreciate that. But if there is more,
you've got gosh aara instead have gone quiet with the updates,
sort it out. Eight highways closed, twenty four local roads
are closed and in fung A nine roads is shot

(33:52):
because of slips and flooding. Well now the Uba drivers
are going with the fact that fuels through the roof
and no one's going out because it's wet cheap. It's
be in touch if you want to be on the
air hea till twelve tonight, looking forward to what you've
got to say. Nine oh seven. Good evening people, and welcome.
My name is Marcus Hittl. Twelve o'clock tonight. The number
is eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine

(34:13):
two to text. Yeah, get in touch if you want
to talk, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nineteen
ninety text looking forward to what you've got to say.
Anything else you want to come through with We are
talking petrol siphoning, So you got something to say about that,
Let's be hearing from you. If you've got a story
or a prevention technique, that's the plans stand I can
tell you too. From environments Southland. Sorry Environment, can Toby,

(34:36):
my apologies, e Can Environment. Canterbry issued a flood advisory
for Foothol rivers and coastal areas from Timlu to the
White Tucky River. Steady rain falling across the region this
evening and is forecast to continue overnight. Farmers adjacent to
flood affected rivers should monitor their situation. It advised on
social media beware of increasing flows if you're working or

(34:57):
recreating an affected river bed on Friday and a petrol
siphoner has told me, Marcus, I should have added my
email that fuel drains quicker if the fuel cap is removed,
so even it has been forced open. Check the bung,
as others have said. Checked the hole that rides like

(35:17):
in the juice out of the coconut, the milk. You
need to do two holds otherwise you got a vacuum cleaner,
you Ben. It's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 8 (35:27):
You get it. Marcus. You've been listening to a lot
of people going you can only hold fifty leaders of
petrol at your house. That's that's correct.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
With diesel diesels, have you got have you got? Okay, yes,
that's true.

Speaker 8 (35:42):
Yeah, so that's correct. You can only have fifty letters
of petrol. However, diesel as a class freestylem hazardous substance,
so you can actually legally hold up to one thousand
liters of diesel at your residential home, and you can
legally transport two hundred and fifty letters of diesel in
your car.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Okay, that's really good information. I've been wondering about that.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
Yeah, yeah, how much?

Speaker 5 (36:06):
How much?

Speaker 3 (36:06):
How much petrol can you can you legally transport?

Speaker 8 (36:11):
I'm not sure about how much petrol because I'm just
focusing on diesel because that I've hoarded some diesel. It's
way under one thousand liters though, but yeah, you can.
You can have up to one thousand liters of diesel
sitting in your shed and you don't need any shirts
or anything for that. But with petrol it's only fifty leaders.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
What value amounts are you saving by going out, going strong,
going early and going strong.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
Well, I stopped for four hundred and ten liters at
a dollar dollar eighty four and it's now what to
three bucks thirty three dollars thirty five for diesel, So
I reckon I've made a couple of about six hundred bucks. Yeah,
I've said, So it's a lot of money makers.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Yeah, as long as you don't get caught and it
goes off.

Speaker 8 (36:57):
Well, it's not as you can legally saw it. There's
a thing because it's diesel and you.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
It's got to shelve six months to a year, right.

Speaker 8 (37:05):
Yeah, and use that open next three months, you know,
Like I normally go for about fifty meters a week,
so it's oh, I'll use that. So it's no big deal.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
But you could jump on Facebook marketplace and sell it,
couldn't you.

Speaker 8 (37:17):
No, But I need it for work markets to get
to work in that, so I'll just keep it from myself.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Have you changed your Easter plans because.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Of it.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Year?

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Where we're not we're not planning on we're only planning
on going for three days instead of five.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
You've done seems to be COOLIO say yeah.

Speaker 8 (37:37):
And I've even noticed some of the hotels that I
tried to book a few months or even a month ago,
they're actually up now on booking dot com and they
were sold out before. So there must be a few
people canceling.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
I think a lot of people cancing overseas trips. Also,
I think it's pretty it's pretty dire.

Speaker 8 (37:54):
Yeah, I'm just taking because I've got some trips planning
for during and also in the end of the year,
and I'm just hoping that it's the situation stabilized by then.
Just yeah, I don't want to be stuck.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
I don't think it will have.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, well was.

Speaker 8 (38:11):
One's flights, and so I've got some flights in Melbourne
and June, and I've got some flights to Wellington and
then we're a rental car up to total for Christmas
and it's the Yeah, I'm just worried that our flights
might be canceled.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
I wonder what they're going to do if that happens,
if they've got to refund things, or what they've got
to do because they had the flights. Can they get
on other flights?

Speaker 8 (38:38):
Yeah, well we booked FLIXI fears, so we can change
but it's not refundable, but we can change the flight
free of charge. But you know, you've got you've booked
a rental car, you've booked accommodation for a certain day.
You know, if they start changing flights, well, you know,
I don't know how they're a rental company or the

(38:59):
hotel is going to react. So it's not good.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Okay, stand what did you have a look at the
how much the diesel was today?

Speaker 16 (39:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (39:08):
I think I think the chiefest scene that around it,
it's probably about three bucks twelve or three fourteen.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Okay, we'll talk more about fuel prices. Thanks for that, Ben,
twelve past nine, nine twelve, Keep in touch. Oh eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. Looks like Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelcey will be going to Australia for their honeymoon,
not to New Zealand. It's just come through. Big excitement
about that. Now, something else I'm going to tell you.

(39:36):
Oh this I was going to tell you at the
end of the show. There is a new ASB scam.
It's not an ASB scam, but the ASB are warning
us about that. It's the Auckland Savings Bank. For those
that don't know, there's a press release from them. Scamers
are contacting people by phone, claiming to be from the
bank's fraud team and saying there is suspicious activity on

(40:00):
the customer's account. They then asked for the customer for
personal and banking details, including long and details, dates of
birth and ex codes, in order to access their account.
These scammers are persistent. They're also highly sophisticated and do
come across as credible. If you receive a call from
someone claiming to be from ASB and you're unsure, ask
for a caller check. This allows us to send secure

(40:22):
message directly to your ASB mobile banking apps. You can
verify you are speaking with us before sharing any information.
If in doubt, hang up and call us back at
one of our public listed numbers. It's a good scam.
That one scam. I am, and you know I don't
follow the show. There was a show called Married at
First Sight and the woman has died. One of the

(40:44):
hosts tragedy died. I think she had some sort of
am oh, she's sick, obviously has died. She's young, in
her fifties. And on TikTok there is a big AI
generated post that purports to be from her, and it's
made to look like this is a recording she made

(41:05):
to be part. It's a confusing article because I think
for some the way the article was written, it was
made to look like she was talking from beyond the grave.
But I think it's it appears like it's beyond the grave,
but it comes across as. It's a video that she
made to be released once she died to say who

(41:26):
she thinks and how her family is going to do.
But it's all made up at all AI and it's
had almost a million views. So what's happened is there's
money to be made. So now when you die, people
pretend to be you and do posts like your requiem.
How creepy is that I've just seen on the TV
on sky Sport. They've just shown the footage they're getting

(41:48):
ready for the manly match. It's about to happen manly
for the versus the Roosters with Dally Terry Evans going
back to his club. But the weather their looks atrocious.
It was a massive lightning and everything forty five minutes
before kickoff. Forty five minutes from kickoff. Anyway, there you go.
Here's the report from the North. This is from Civil

(42:11):
Defense Northland. It's been a big week for North and
our local response community both paidon volunteer has been assisted
by a specialist personnel and equipment from outside the region.
Seventeen firefighters with specialist skills and water response and urban
sushi risk have been deployed to fang Are and Carwakawa
asy Defense. Foresaid, heavy vehicles operating on fang and in

(42:32):
using a defense responsing from Auckland's be active in the
most affected areas. Of course, not all superheroes where uniforms,
and our thanks go to all them at I friends
and Farno who have opened their doors to people who
couldn't be in their own homes tonight, checked on neighbors,
or have otherwise provided assistance to those in need so
far during this event. While the rain has easy many
parts of Northland, Met Service advice that some areas may

(42:54):
still see heavy rain through until the end of the
warning period at four am tomorrow. As the weather moves away,
the press of gaining a full pix of the import
in our region begins. Notably, the roading network throughout the
region will continue affected by flooding, washout, slips and debris,
and we advise extreme caution. The savist options to defer
your duney until daylight at least to continue avoid travel

(43:17):
where possible. Northen Police have made a special plea to
heed road closures following a series of rescues from flooded
vehicles throughout the day. Stay safe and call one one
one when life or safety are at risk. Emergency Service
will always give top priority to calls when people are
in danger. That is the latest from the North, the
winterless North. If you are updates from where you are,

(43:39):
let us know. But I think Banksplinsa. There's a road
close now, so it's coming down. Marcus. Last night you
were promoting copper theft from heat pumps. Tonight it's siphoning petrol.
I'm just giving people the information they need to know
the value of what they are in possession of and
how people might try and get it. I think it's

(44:01):
a responsible thing to do, Marcus. I travel daily from
my rural town to part North. You would never know
there was a fuel crisis. Doesn't seem to be have
been a change in driving habits, Marcus. My cousin Abe
has been putting itching powder inside the diesel flap of
his truck. He's also drained the viewl from his boat,
which is well clamped. I'm not sure if whitching powder

(44:23):
is legal in New Zealand. I'm sure it is. That's
what people are saying. Get in touch if you want
to talk. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and known
known to detext. It's all about the weather and scams
and that married at first sight situation with people there, ye,
because I just take the voice. If you're a broadcast

(44:44):
appeal and get hold of your voice and just make
out you've actually you've done some nice kind of message
to your people. It's pretty creepy. So that's what we're
on about tonight. Do get in touch if you want
to talk. Nineteen past nine. By the way, Metallica have
just announced they are playing the Sphere in Las Vegas, Oh.

(45:06):
Denounced yesterday. I guess a number of concerts, a number
of nights in October that would be one to see.
The graphics from the ad look extraordinary. I think if
you go to the Sphere, yeah, the whole of the
inside of the Sphere becomes a screen. Looks pretty extraordinary.

(45:26):
So there's that, and I'm looking forward to your calls. Scams,
the weather and siphoning petrol. It's what we've got so far.
If you want to talk about the Middle East, do
come into that. I don't want to sound like I
am just saying vague topics for the sake of it.
I'm not fully sure why it's called the Middle East.

(45:47):
I presume there is a Far East, in a Near East,
in the Middle East, which all sounds very Europe's England centric.
But where is the Near East? What is the Near East?
It's kind of weird, isn't it? The Near East and
Middle East the Far East? I think it's weird. But
twenty three past nine, if you want to talk Marcus

(46:08):
till midnight tonight and scams, Marcus to the fuel companies
or the government pay for the shipments of fuels the
fuel companies. But I think a third of the I
think a third of the cost of fuel is the
cost of getting it here. It's not very efficient. Just FYI,
that seems to be the cost. So be in touch

(46:29):
if you don want to talk moneamers Marcus, welcome, Oh
eight hundred eighty eight and nine to nine two text
you've go anything to add. We're talking scams too, and
the weather. I'm always up there for updating the weather.
There's anything to add, so come through if you've got
some more stuff. It doesn't seem as I'm getting a
lot of updates tonight. I'll hang about. This is just

(46:52):
through from the New Zealand Herald are reporting multiple people
rescued from flooding. Foreign Emergency said it has alluded to
people trapping their cars and a flooded river on the
kaitaia A Road hit a Kino just before seven pm tonight.
Firefighters for Mahipada and Kaitya responded all persons accounted for,

(47:16):
and a separate instance, three people were arrestued after being
trapped in a car. An or fang fang are a
suspicious water response to team was able to rescue the
occupents of the car with the help of a private contractor.
That's happening. That's the latest I've got for you there
and if you want to talk on it, that's what
we're about tonight, as I say, and the weather's going

(47:36):
to hit the Tasman, sooth're reconcerned about the weather in
the Tasman as well today. So oh eight hundred and
eighty eight eighty they are saying too. Don't attempt to
drive or walk through floodwaters. North and police I have
seen a number of instances where people are needing assistants
after getting trapped. It's especially troublesome on State Highway ten
at Kayle. Don't you don't think we're going to get

(47:59):
it and go through that seems to be the salient
advice and just check the other site to you have
got any other more information for you, come on Buffer
Buffer Buffer got too many taps open a curse of
the broadcaster. The heaviest rain and largest amounts overnight and

(48:20):
into Friday will be for the upper north Enland, especially
from north into the western Bay of Plenty downplaws flooding.
This is just through the ladders of the Met Service.
Downpaurs flooding and slips were possible. A period of large
northeast waves are expected with strong to gale force winds.
Heavy rain and strong winds also affect parts of the
South Islde, especially Tasman in the west coast. And don't

(48:42):
try and walk through floodwaters. That's what they are recommending.
Twenty six past nine. I can also tell you people
that the situation in the Middle East seems to have
intensified tonight. This is a report from twenty nine minutes ago.
It's been a tense morning in Jerusalem with heavy explosion
the sky and NonStop air alerts as any prospect if

(49:05):
pea steal feels more since whenever, Iran has launched at
least six missiles in the past two hours, including some
reportedly carrying cluster munitions. At least six people have been injured.
Sirens have also found across central Israel in the early
hours of the day. According to videos and photo circulating
on telegram, some fragments are said to have struck the
outskirts of Jerusalem. This cannot be verified. Missile debris also

(49:29):
a putt land in the mo Dean area, twenty minutes
from Jerusalem. And also Israeli soldier has been killed in
combat in southern Lebanon, according to the ID. If that's
the latest from the Middle East, and Marcus, at what
price do you think the average Kiwis will reach their
breaking point? Wow? It's good question. And another email or

(49:52):
a text closure of what is and mccains a farmer
who is sitting his peas to mccains, so he gets
sixty dollars a bag and they'll send them for five
dollars sixty nine. Do we need to consider a cooperative
shre float to keep these places up and going? Wow,
I'll talk more about that Marcus scam text about overdue

(50:12):
fines with the police are now being sent for the
Ministry of Justice. My local police station told me and
anyone who receives them to screenshot the text and set
to seven seven two six to help combat the scams.
Never click on the link. Speaking of the Middle East,
I've been watching a US Navy drone on flight radar
left at least seven months ago, seven hours ago and
currently over Saudi Arabia. It shows up as a small

(50:35):
plus sign flying at forty seven thousand feet. Wow, that's happening.
Also get in touch twenty eight away from ten o'clock
if you want to partake David's Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 10 (50:47):
Yes, thanks, Marcus. It's fall the heavy weare. They're here
in christ Church. I was just sort of it, you know,
probably nothing to what they're getting up north.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
And my thoughts got I think it's going to settle it.
Is it rainy or windy?

Speaker 7 (50:59):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (50:59):
I suppose, Okay, Yeah, And Marcus, I've found of coming
out in opposition against these ear shows, and believe it
or not, motorsport in general, I find I find it
obscene almost with a picture and this finite resource there is.
I just think they need to have come, you know,

(51:23):
I think they have done their dash. That's what I
reckon these ear shows. I think they're obscene.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
It's interesting that I didn't expect that from you, but
I can, Yeah, I can. I can see where you're
coming from.

Speaker 10 (51:35):
Well, I never thought i'd hear myself say it because
I used to love my V eights and afford V
eight and what have you and powered around Ossie in
an old XBGS form And I never thought i'd say that.
But there you are, I find I think they've had
their day, and that goes with motorsport and seeing who's
Quicket's racing around a track. I think it's head its day.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
That's what I reckon, and also needless trips. I got
a bit of pushback on the council the other day.
I said, we should get out of sister cities, you know,
flying across the China in Japan, do it long, do
it on zoom, Yeah exactly, you know. Yeah, but oh no,
they're going to see themselves at a great expense to
go to Japan. Again, I said, you pay your own
way or you don't go. Particularly through a crisis like that.

(52:18):
I mean, it's crazy to be sending people overseas for
the shake and howdies in Sumsaki. I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 10 (52:25):
Well, I can't believe it either for going over there
for a jolly, And that's pretty much what it comes
down to. Necessity necessity, So I think, and I think.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
When times are tough, you just do things a bit differently.
It's not good to be seen to be a reckless
fossil fuel user in a time like this.

Speaker 10 (52:44):
There you go, and I think we should come out
and we should respect that fuels and petrol and diesel
on what have you? More than what we have been
nice thoughts.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
So you're good to hear from you about that day.
I'm surprised, but thank you for that nine to detect
eight hun anyone else think that?

Speaker 15 (53:03):
People?

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Yeah, yeah, I think probably people love the year show.
I know a lot of work goes into it. But
it seemed as though two months ago, well a month ago,
we knew this was going to happen with a fuel
probably it would have been the time to say, well,
let's see if we can put it off for a year,
go through a lot of fuel. It's like, it's not
like the old planes were more efficient. I'll tell you what.

(53:24):
The battery planes have been a long time coming, haven't they.
Which reminds me if we've got any aviation stars out there.
I remember reading once upon a time about a coal
powered plane and body you think I can find of
Google and Google, I cannot find any record of it.
I mean, I would be surprised if it managed to
get off the ground with the weight of the engine.

(53:44):
But if anyone could look into that, I don't think
I've imagined it. I wouldn't have made it up. I'm
certainly sure I read that. But yeah, you might want
to mention that too. All the lines are free hitdled twelve.
What's going on if you've got a weather report, would
be good to hear from you if you're driving around Auckland.
I'm also curious about the uber drivers. Well, times must
be tough for you, the price of petrol in the weather,

(54:06):
and no one wanted to go out. Get in touch
about that. Also, if you want to talk tonight, So yeah,
that's what we're on about. We've got the Rugby League
tonight Sea Eagles versus the Roosters that we'll go off
at about twenty five. That's at four pines. I don't
know if I don't know where those guys are on

(54:26):
the or the table doesn't mean much in the first coup. Oh, yes,
i's going to talk about McCain's closure of what is
and mccains so a lot of people get, oh, we've
got to buy them back, We've got to do this.
It's terrible, and there's a sense that it's always terrible
when someone loses their livelihood. But what none of the
commentators have said that I have heard, although I've heard

(54:49):
a farmer mention it. It seems as though the market for
frozen vegetables has really shrunk. Most people are eating fresh
vegetables or no vegetables at all. So rather it been
a scandal or corporate greed, it might be just the
fact that what we've has changed because let's face it, yeah,

(55:13):
boiled corn, carrots and peas didn't taste that fantastic. I
think probably our pellett's developed a bit more. Now we
want something with it, a tahini or barber ganish even
Marcus welcome, yes, good.

Speaker 15 (55:29):
Even trying to struggling to get this electric bearing running right, does.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
It seem to work? Does it? Boats or planes? Electric? Terrible?

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (55:39):
And then we'll find something, how seriously quickly I think.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
So there's electric, there's electric fair in the water. Bitar
is that right?

Speaker 15 (55:46):
Yeah, they got the big charging station that are half
Moon Bay here that are struggling with for some reason.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
They've got the what station?

Speaker 17 (55:53):
Sorry, I put a put.

Speaker 15 (55:55):
A massive charging station on the wharf for half Moon
Bay by the car ferry. But I don't think it's
charging the boat right or something by the sounds of it.
So still haven't done a maiden voyage yet.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Okay, So that's a dud.

Speaker 15 (56:10):
She's a dud. Well, millions of dollars have gone into
it now.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
You see. I was thinking they would just put a batterrium,
but I guess that's cumbersome to haul those in and out.
So you would need to charge it on site, wouldn't you.

Speaker 15 (56:22):
Yeah, talking about putting the same sort of charging systems
in the city as well. But she's a massive, like
three three or four buses, big just charging station.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
I wonder how much coppers in that?

Speaker 15 (56:35):
Oh and how much powers?

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Did you say three or do you say the size
of three or four buses?

Speaker 10 (56:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (56:42):
Yeah, it's a big charging station, like you can't miss it.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
So that would just take the power off the mains
and do what with it converted to DC and then
bang it in.

Speaker 15 (56:54):
They've gotta. They've got a big calling station halfway down
the pier as well, pretty pretty expensive stuff. I think
they need to find another avenue.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Yeah, no, I think that's a dud. Who was fullers
behind it? It was a government and a.

Speaker 15 (57:07):
Sh at Yeah at government.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
I suppose your council super city, probably with government help. Okay,
are you on a boat today tonight, Evan.

Speaker 15 (57:17):
Yes, yes, she's not feeling have been very nice for
the last couple of days, really.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Just chopping bitsy or windy and wet.

Speaker 15 (57:26):
Very wet, continuous.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Are you Are you at a marina or just on
a mooring or on anchor.

Speaker 15 (57:33):
I'm just on anchor at the moment.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Many others out there on their boats.

Speaker 15 (57:37):
Ah, there's about five in this area.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
Yeah, okay, permanently on board you dry? Yeah, yeah, we
need to do even Thank you like our listeners to
be dry twenty right away from ten if you want
to talk about this and whether the air show should
have not gone ahead. I went to Peck and Save
tonight and there's a big sign there that says I'll

(58:02):
read it to you. I took a screenshot like a
Karen Dear. Customers were currently out of Diesel ninety one petrol.
We're expecting another delivery tomorrow evening. We apologize for the
inconvenience caused no full stop yesterday. They are out of
goods because of the troubles with the intrail and faery,
so that's something you might want. Oh, by the way too,

(58:22):
the lush families had a big purchase today. We've got
new pigs. Now. I got to tell you about pigs
because I think we are an extreme environment for pigs
because it blows a gale and we're almost at sea,
so most pigs get destroyed. So I need to tell

(58:44):
you this. I think this is a communy announcement. We
go and we've tested a lot of pigs and these
are our forever pigs and they are the stainless steel ones.
But you can't just get them from the four square.
You have got to get marine grade O. The ones
they just rust you must get marine grade. I'd like
to be this spokesperson. It's got a lifetime warranty. If

(59:08):
it's not marine grad you don't want anything to do
with them. And we had twenty that asked us about
five years. It's now gone for eighty, which I think
is a bad thing. I think the more pigs you've got,
the more reckless s you'ld be with pigs. But you
get these. I don't know where they're made Forever Pigs.
They might be Japanese, but I'm always up for a

(59:30):
pig discussion. They're from ben Toe Ninja. I don't even
know if they're made locally. I don't know what they're
carbon footprinters. Doesn't really say on the doesn't really say
where they're from on the website that I can see,
which is a bit of a worry. But yeah, goodness,
I'd crawl across broken glass from They are very very good.
A pig that doesn't rust, a pig that doesn't snap,

(59:51):
A forever pig, that's what you want. You don't know
where they're from, Oh I should click on about us
Originally from Japan. They might be in New Zealand now,
but YEP, got no problems giving them a heads up
because they are tremendous ben Toe Ninja forever Pig. They've
got to be. There's probably other brands somewhere, but they've
got to be marine steel. If they're not, they'll just

(01:00:12):
rust and disappear, and then you'll kind of have lost
the love of the in Ninja pegs. So yeah, there
you go. That's my rave about that. They've got to
be marine steel. Otherwise I just rust marine grade. That's
the situation. That's what you need on your boat. There,
Evan seventeen away from ten Get in touch text if
you can, Marcus, visit your local reduced to clear and

(01:00:33):
try some of the s B frozen vegetable from Belgium
as good as New Zealand processed about the same price,
very good range, but reduced to clear seems to have
a bigger range than New World carry Peter from Levin.
We don't have a reduced to clear anyway. Get in
touch seventeen to ten, fifteen away from ten o'clock. People

(01:00:58):
keep you up down. What's happen with the weather to
around Northland? Marcus? A response to my question, who pays
for fuel shipments?

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
Left?

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Is theft by any other world? Would the government is
selling in the extra GST and excised tax from consumers.
For me, that's the end of voting national for fifty years.
That's from Chrissy. I think that the excise text is
a price per litis that's fixed. It's the GST that
goes up. So there's a situation there. Some people say
that we will be buying less because but I think

(01:01:28):
that I don't think that. I don't think that. I
think that's a bit of a lame excuse that one.
You have to wait for the figures to see if
that penned out. But yeah, that's my take on that one.
But yeah, hey, look, lines are free. Be nice to
hear from your fourteen to ten here til twelve. Get
in touch you want to talk anything else you want
to talk about tonight too. Would love to have some
weather updates if you are out driving. Someone's upset that

of the Jacob duff Supreme Player, Jacob Duffy, Hey, thanks
for that update. I appreciate that, Marcus I should have
said the drone I'm watching is a surveillance drone, not

(01:02:32):
an attack drone. So an m Q four C Triton
can be airborne for twenty four hours and an impressive but
a kit. The Aussies have recently brought a couple one
thirty million each. I was reading today that the Americans
haven't got enough ships, which seem to be a concern,
and they haven't got enough mind sweepers. And the mind
sweepers are quite tricky because I think you want your

(01:02:54):
mind sweepers not metal. I think I think you want
them to be. I don't quite know what you want
your mind sweepers to be. Someone might know about wine sweepers.
I think they've gotta be a different sort of a
wood wood or something else, so they're not as you know,
quite know how it works. But they thought they haven't
got enough of them. I can't find the actual screenshot
of it now. But yeah, by the way, tour in

(01:03:14):
the world, a lot of the half the world sulfur
comes through the straight of hor moves, so the shortage
of sulfur, which is probably not a good thing either,
just putting that out there. Twelve away from ten nine
to ten Bruce. Good evening here going then, Marcus, good,
thanks Bruce.

Speaker 18 (01:03:31):
I heard your comment about the mine sweepers.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
I know.

Speaker 18 (01:03:34):
I was over in England a few years ago and
one of the yacht clubs on the edge of the
River Thames has got an old retired navy ray navy
mine sweepers their clubrooms and it's a it must be
a good child of feed long or something that's pretty big,
but it was. It's made out of solid fiberglass.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Yeah, it does. I found the article. It says the
ships are built because they've got the American's got the
Avenger class, although they've got rid of half of them.
They're built primarily of wood, plastic and fiberglass, which have
a lower magnetic signature to avoid detonatingnes exactly.

Speaker 18 (01:04:08):
And before they got this it was pensioned off I
suppose in the eighties. It even had apparently prodotminant aluminium
main propulsion engines to you know, get rid of the
big magnetic signature that a giant shipping engine would have.
So I think the Navy kept or scrapped the aluminium

(01:04:30):
because it's obviously worth quite a lot of money, but
the fiberglass wasn't worth anything, and they just they pensioned
them off and it became a clip room for the
local sailing club. Blood a big, big club room. But yeah,
it was massively overbuilt, solid fiberglass thing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Where's the club? Where's that? Bruce? A? Look at that?

Speaker 18 (01:04:48):
Leon c in Essex?

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Okay, because I always I always thought mines just floated
and any physical thing would bang, some rod that would
go and to explode them. But are you telling me
it's probably got magnetic detonator? Is it the way it
would work?

Speaker 18 (01:05:03):
That is my understanding. I think the more modern ones magnetic.
The old ones were like that, like a motow there.
I think the mine and there was Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
That's right, that's exactly what I've looked at and stood on.

Speaker 18 (01:05:13):
Yeah that's right, exactly exactly. But the later, the later
ones are a bit more high sexty of magnetics and all
that's for the nonsense but yeah, so that had to
be some of the some of the earlier boats who
were wooden ones, but the current Navy ones are predominantly
made out of solid waterglass.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
I'll look into that, Bruce. Thank you so much for that.
Steven ats Marcus Good evening.

Speaker 15 (01:05:33):
Market.

Speaker 12 (01:05:34):
Just put terror again after frys very windy and hey rain.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Is it like ponding or causing danger?

Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
Uh no, but it's.

Speaker 12 (01:05:47):
It's really really gusty.

Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
But I'm just trying to put the wrong getting blown.

Speaker 15 (01:05:52):
Around like green.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
Okay, so you'd advise that, Yeah, okay, you're you're a proficient,
you're a professional.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
I wish that just.

Speaker 15 (01:06:07):
Take care of going over the fary, windy and the
heavy rain.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Appreciate it, Steve Good advice.

Speaker 15 (01:06:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
There we go. Someone's email through Marcus wider pigs make
dent marks on clothes. I get really annoyed. Can't find
any which they won't you use bulldog clips. By the way,
the other thing I learned about today about mind and
mind sweepers. So the Americans haven't got many left, but
the Americans this will upset some of you. The US
Navy has long trained dolphins and sea lions to detect

(01:06:41):
and mark minds, so they could be called into service. Yeah,
it's a bit grim, isn't it how they transport transporting
dolphins halfwaycross the world to go to the straight to
Hamu's for mind detection flip. It'd be a Netflix documentary,
wouldn't it, The Dolphin Handler, because you get close to
the animals and they could lose them. Marcus, I've been

(01:07:02):
using my one world marine grade pigs run reviews. They
are fantastic. It would never buy anything else. I hang
all my washing out in the line of many bags
of twenty pigs. The Trump sons have just invested a
drone manufacturing company that has managed to pick up contracts
from the Pentagon. Well, Baron should be in the army.
That's the one thing Trump could do. Send a son
to combat. There'd be my take, Marcus. Just strove from

(01:07:26):
my house to pizza hut where they're clearing up. It
didn't even take my jacket flying our Paraha, so it
might have passed day with a bit of luck. Marc,
is a question about pigs to other people color coordinate
their pigs on the washing line. Sometimes I give each
person the color. Some of the do patterns, but always
have each partner, I'd have pegged with the same color.
I'm a chronic pig sharer. I always do seven pigs,

(01:07:49):
six of them. O the clothes. That's my take. I yeah,
I love a pig. Penny. Haven't got one. That's what
I need, though not enough hands. I don't like pegging
out stuff, but the kids are hopeless at it. Of
course you got to pig him out and you gotta
actually go the half. I'm going to go to the
neighbors to find your clothes because I get blown. On

(01:08:10):
last night's topic of tin potatoes, obviously young woman who
was buying a couple of tin snot at Woollies. She
said they were great for frying. What at that conversation, Oh,
I see you've got tin potatoes. Yeah, great for frying.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
See.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
I wouldn't ever start the conversation up with something about
what they're buying. I'd be too trigger warning for me.
Just a couple of things. That's pretty amazing footage on
stuff website of the Waymamakou River, which is just a
case south of Hawky Young and there's big flooding there.
The other thing, too, is that Deli Chair Evans has
gone back to Brookvale or the Manly Park for his
first time not playing for them. Butt a huge got

(01:08:43):
booed widely when they come on the field. The mainly
within the second ball have scored. So there's six snil up. Actually,
I think the rooster has just gone over now. Anyway,
get in touch about talking mines and mine sweepers, because
you've very easy to mind a body of would have
real easy to actually make it navigable again and very
easy just kind of spends mines off the coast. So

(01:09:03):
that's probably something we'll be hearing a lot about the
coming subsqut weeks, days, months. Also talking pigs and scams
and siphoning petrol. Craig gets Marcus good evening. Did you
have a siphoned petrol in your younger days, Craig.

Speaker 15 (01:09:20):
Uh No, no.

Speaker 16 (01:09:21):
I never did a beer bomb or anything like that either.
I was a slow, pretty pretty shouted lifestyle.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
We are Mormon, were in the church.

Speaker 16 (01:09:29):
No no, no, no no no. I just didn't see
the point of drinking a lot of beer and then
getting getting a migraine or whatever and the most of
them to talk the next day. Then see the logic
of it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Behave to Stephen sensible. Good on you for being born
so sensible.

Speaker 16 (01:09:43):
Yeah, I try, you know. I watched the documentary Middle
asked year about the evolution of the mines in the military, right,
So that's that's why I rang up. I thought I'd
never be able to share that subject with anyone. But
it was interesting how they said that they started off
with the contact minds, we had to hit the mine
and detonate it. Then it went to the magnetic mines,
and then a lot of the military, especially in America

(01:10:05):
and in the UK, put a whole lot of copper
coils around the bottom of the holes of the boats
like a deg gousing call to try and reduce the
ment to effect for against mines. So that but then
the mines they've got nowadays work on seismic so they
work on like the sounds of the motor game pass
and that plus also pressure differences in the water from

(01:10:25):
the displacement of the boat's game pass. So even the
fiberglass hell nowadays wouldn't really have an effect in their mind.
It's still trigger. But it was quite interesting watching it
how it started off from the early days to what
it's gone to nowadays. Just incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
As team old so a mine these days, I presume
it would be anchored to the seafloor and floating up. Yeah,
would they have batteries in them that would run the
power that would enable them to Actually, what are you saying?
How they work on their work.

Speaker 16 (01:10:51):
On induction ones? Yeah, well the ones nowadays they do
have batteries in them, anyting how long they last. War,
but they work on like megantic ones. If immediately feel
change picks it up. But then they also work on seismics,
so sounds of a boat going close to the cone,
and also water pressure sets them. Obviously don't actually have

(01:11:11):
to be close to.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
The water pressure. That's a good thing you said there,
because wanting got to be water pressure and sound.

Speaker 16 (01:11:18):
Yeah, but I do remember quite often you seen them
on TV places around the world, news of old minds
from World War II washing up on the beaches and
they've got to send them the military to do you
dispose of it?

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
So, oh, the military level to get on those giant
suits and send the robot in, don't they?

Speaker 10 (01:11:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:11:31):
Yeah, see, you won't to how many minds? I think
I can't remember what town at war, what country it was,
but Denmark or somewhere there's a harbor and somewhere in
the world has got so many mines in it they
are actually just spinning. It's going to take them years
and years to clear them all out. There some documentary
on the same sort of fragmants.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
I think it's always the legacy of the legacy of
the after the war, as the mind are still there.
We saw that with the laid Diana with their mind
sweeping out, that in Africa with seeing that too, and
Iraq they had all those really bad Iraq That's how
they turned the war in Iraq was those sort of
really dodgy land land mines that put shrapnel through everyone.
They were really bad, go right through the side of

(01:12:11):
the hummer.

Speaker 16 (01:12:12):
Yeah, and it just ends up killing and maiming a
lot of people's innocent civilians. Later on news to come
there it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
Horrible Yeah, nothing good about war.

Speaker 19 (01:12:22):
No, not really.

Speaker 18 (01:12:23):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
What's the documentary called I'm joining talking about that?

Speaker 16 (01:12:29):
I'll go and have a lock. I wrote it down
in my diary whatever I can text that through to
you anyway. I thought it was. I think it was
the evolution of minds and warfare from memory.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
Wow, that Bravo channel, what will that be on.

Speaker 16 (01:12:43):
That was on Discovery that was it would be brav actuallynel.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
Yeah, okay, appreciate that, Craig. Thank you. Eleven past ten,
by the way, breaking news from Kaitai due to severe weather,
widespread flooding, the disclosure of a sil defense stead of emergency.
Kaitaia College will be closed tomorrow state of local emergency
to clear the funnel constructions from if DNC and meyor
mirk Ork Kaitia in the runing community are currently isolated.

(01:13:11):
There we go. So no school, no school buses. I
think they're going to be classes on Google. Oh so
school is closed, but you're still going to get on
the Google to do that. That's happening tomorrow. So that's
the first disclosures I've seen. The roads are closed now,
the schools and pack and save kaite tire. Anyway, Marcus,

(01:13:36):
the US Navy has underwater drones that hunt and destroy mines.
And what if there are any good or is it
just something you say to freak out their ranians Marcus,
as your research begig mines, have a look at the
degousing of ships, David, I think Craig covered that off. Well,
that's happening. If you want to talk, as I say,
eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty nine to nine to detect,

(01:13:58):
thirteen past ten, looking forward to your court. Anything goes talking.
Also pigs, do you want to mention pigs? Yeah, get
in touch. And also scams and siphoning petrol. So get
in touch. He tel twelve thirteen past ten, fifteen past ten. Hello, Peter,

(01:14:20):
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:14:22):
Well, what would you like to know about the hummers?
Not the hummers straight, but they've got submarines, muscles, artillery,
all sorts of things that can go out there and
stop the progress. But if things are all bonded, like
the facilities for making gas and oil and all that

(01:14:47):
sort of stuff, it doesn't really matter whether it's blocked
or not. There'll be nothing going through. So, yeah, the
world is hostage and everyone needs to put.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
It's a very low key start to your call. What
would you like to We're talking about minds and the
contruction construction of mind sweepers and how many minds sweep
the American Navy now has because they got rid of
half of their fleet. That's what we were talking about,
and what the new mind sweepers would look like, given
how the new current minds detonate by air pressure or
by sound.

Speaker 10 (01:15:20):
So weren't they know much about novy apart from the
way behind on what they've been ordering and if it's late,
it normally gets canceled, but because they're so far behind,
it hasn't been canceled. And they need lots of stuff,
and China puts out things so quickly compared to the

(01:15:42):
rest of the world, like boats for time and all.

Speaker 8 (01:15:45):
That sort of stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:15:46):
Did you know that China has about five or six
thousand fishing boats and the crill down in the Antarctica
they recommends going below sustainability for the world's oceans and ecosystems.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
Do you know about the US Navy's fleet of dolphins
and sea lions for mind detection.

Speaker 10 (01:16:09):
No, I don't. Well, I've seen stories about it, but
I'm not an expert on that field, and I think
other militaries might have that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
No, I think the old Russians were using dolphins, weren't they,
Or were they using whales?

Speaker 10 (01:16:23):
I'm not sure that all sorts of stories. But the
thing that you've got to remember about, you know, if
you have a mind sweeper, you can't go in when
you can be attacked by various things, it's not going
to happen, just like you can't go an escort boats
through the strait when you've got so much things. And
do you know how long they're straight?

Speaker 9 (01:16:44):
Is?

Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
Well, I guess it's all depends on how when you
say the straight I don't. I would imagine the strait
is actually the area where it's the pinch point right
between the kink and what's there?

Speaker 18 (01:17:00):
Is it?

Speaker 10 (01:17:00):
Is it the UE?

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
That's that's the what is that area at the end
they're called well, the U the UAE is part of
is it part of a man at the end?

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Is it?

Speaker 12 (01:17:11):
Well?

Speaker 10 (01:17:11):
The UA and the RUN have some arguments over ownership
of islands.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
But and I'm talking about the peninsula, the peninsula that
it goes past that the straight off all moves goes past.

Speaker 10 (01:17:23):
Yeah, well, I know, I know that the area is
a lot bigger than that. You know, it's it's a
very very big area.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
And what do you means a big area? The Gulf
of a Man or the Persian Gulf or the actual stranglves.

Speaker 10 (01:17:40):
The boundary of Iran with the ocean there, and it's
force I think it's four times the size of Iraq
and seventy five times bigger than Israel or something. Iran
is a big, big country. And the thing about the
US present, I wonder about his health and a lot
of people have been worrying about his health. And when

(01:18:03):
he said that he's going to do big attacks, that
was on before the market's open in the five days
was when the markets close on.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
So I'm trying to keep It's a bit of a
wide ranging kind of call from you, Peter, but we
were trying to focus on minds and mind sweepers. So
I might just let you go because I think you
came with what would what would you like to know?
But they it be came quite free flowing. That's fine,
that's good. But your pegs is a topic also too.

(01:18:34):
But get in touched you on to be a part
of the show, and also too, I've got a weather
report from the far North. There's multi hazards. Are in
a multi hazard situation if you don't want to talk
on air Tonight too, we have a missing woman and
Auckland Peace A Police are appealing for sightings Auckland's North Show.
Her name is Jacqueline. Last scene near fern Glen Gardens

(01:18:57):
on Cody Road and Birkenhead. There is a picture of
her on the New Zealand the Herald. So we have
a missing person and that's happening now. The latest on
the weather. The river behind the Peck and Save and
kait Tyre has breached its banks, and the Kaitaire Peck
and Save is flooded. There'll be no school tomorrow at

(01:19:18):
Kaitaia College, but there might be online school. It's gonna
be able to have a cat in the hat day anyway.
It's going to be wet.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:19:26):
We are talking also about siphoning petrel and how to
stop people sifling petrel and pigs stain as steel pigs.
No plastic pig is any good, just to break down
into microplastic and go into the tide. You want to
avoid those, I think, I think the plastic pig has
seen its day. You want to go marine stainless, the

(01:19:50):
wonder pig. Wooden pigs terrible, they snapped, don't they re? Unsatisfying? Feeding?
When your wooden pig snapped? I thought for a while
the wooden pigs were the answer. But no, terrible things,
terrible things. But back at you want to talk Marcu
Still midnight, eight hundred and eight, twenty three past ten,
I've got an email from someone from Australia, Marcus, is

(01:20:13):
there a New Zealand website for New Zealanders coming to OZ?
Have a few rooms available for good workers? Tradees Beach
suburb Port no longer. It's a really good point, be
a good website for someone to set up to help
people that are going to Australia fit in. I'll tell
you what. It doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm
hearing more people going than I've ever heard because for

(01:20:35):
once in a while, it seemed as though, I mean,
don't get me if I'm wrong on this one. For once,
for a long time, it seemed as though you'd go
to Australia until things improved in New Zealand. But I
think the thinking is now that things aren't here, aren't
going to improve. That's certainly the sense I get. I
don't know that the sense you get, because there's nothing

(01:20:56):
in the pipeline that looks like, you know, research and
development or any great industry that's going to crank on
just all seems to be dairy. So I wonder if people, yeah,
I haven't heard I haven't heard anyone thinking that that
kind of looks like a nice place. Port nih Lunger.
It's a coastal beach south of Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
So there we go.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
Rooms available there. It's a good thing, Marcus read those
clothes pegs. Those stainless steel pigs look interesting once you're
a lady that used them on her body parts for fun.
All is not good, and all is not gold and assy. No,
but it's a bigger country and a bigger economy, and
it's a more revolved economy, and I think probably they

(01:21:38):
are poised to become a much more developed economy than
we are, if I can say that, Certy, what all
the sense seems to be that it's going gangbuster is
over there? But yeah, that's a situation there. Eight hundred
and eighty scoring the Rugby League Manly ten sorry Manly
six tried disallowed Sydney City roosters there on eight they

(01:22:02):
have scored twice, many scored once on the second touch
of the ball they converted that the Sydney scored twice
and not converted. I won't talk about anyone got interesting
information about minds. It's amazing the mind sweepers that swept
around New Zealand and World War Two. That's extraordinary some
of those stories and how far they went. And by

(01:22:26):
the way, when I mentioned australia'm talking about the number
of people that I hear are still moving there. So
whether things are not good or bad in Australia, there's
still seem to be a sense a lot of people
are getting ready to move. That's what's meant that the
housing market's going to go down two percent further because
the interest rates with fuel, but also people are there

(01:22:46):
is a surplus of houses for sale because people are leaving.
I think how many forget how many percent have gone
to a stroke the cast companies, but certainly in the
percents it's not an insignificant number. I mean it's a
concern because it's families that are fractured. But yep, but

(01:23:07):
also talking minds and anything or in the air shows,
I think Dave was pretty strong. I wanted to cancel
the air shows. We're a reckless use of fuel and
motor racing yep, they become very expensive. They weren't motor racing.
Gin palaces will be cheap to fill up. Get in
touch eight hundred and eighty tighty. The text number is
nine to nine two. If you do want to come

(01:23:27):
through tonight and if you've got other stuff you want
to mention to, I'll keep you updated on the situation
of the Middle East tonight. Although it's kind of become
the new normal now, hasn't it. It's sort of it's
settled in.

Speaker 11 (01:23:40):
In.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Iran's foreign minister taken off Israel's hitless at request of Pakistan.
Israel has reported taken Iran's foreign minister Abgas Arragai and
the Iranian parliament speaker Montgad Gaddef off its list after
Pakistan requested the US not to target them. According to Reuter's,
the Israelis had their coordinates wanted to take them out.

(01:24:01):
We told the US if they also eliminated them, then
there is no one else to talk to. Hence the
US LUIS asked the Israelis to back off. The Wall
Street Journal, which first reported the claim, side of the
American soldiers, saying the two Iranian men were removed from
the US and RAILS target list for up to four
days as Trump attempts to reopen negotiation with Iran. So,
I guess you can't get a peace deal if there's

(01:24:21):
no one to talk to, although I don't know if
they're talking. It's impossible to know, isn't it. But texting
call if you want to hit ittll telve o'clock tonight,
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty eight six two,
that's a square. I will go through all the road
closures and stuff, but pretty much if you go north
of Fangada to Kaitaya City, seems like there's no way through.

(01:24:42):
Most roads are closed. I'll do a bit of a
double check. But also there's road closure in the south
on the wind's going to hit the winner of the
rain's going to hit Tasman. But already in banks Pincher
trees are down and mutters across the road. So haven't
got the full details that you might have more information. Also,
be nice to hear from you. Oh twenty five away
from eleven people welcome. Well, I'll tell you what Roman's

(01:25:03):
along at midnight tonight. If you just joined the show.
Greetings and good evening. We've got some people without power.
That does not seem to be the main thing. But
there's a number of road closed according to the n
zed TA, very every wit in the north for every
wit in the north. It's all now raining in most
of the South Island also pretty good down the bottom.
It's hot as heck actually down here. But look, I

(01:25:25):
have got a lot of road closures and all sort
of maintenance going on. It's the time of the year
they do maintenance too, so that's happening. But if you
check the state highways, a lot of them are closed.
Someone aroung early. This is very free windy going over
the Kaimis too, So that's the situation I've got for you.
But yes, a lot of the roads in the north
are closed. I'd say it'd be pretty well impossible to

(01:25:48):
get to the fang Ada from kait pretty well impossible
to get out of Kaitaia sa hiwi Wan straight down
the Gutch Guts among A mokeris closed State Highway. The
Coastal one is also closed State Highway ten. If you've
got an update with the weather, that would be nice
to hear from you tonight, and if there is other
stuff you want to text or call through Allan Texters Marcus.

(01:26:09):
Has anyone asked why the fuel retailers that are blending
us in and produced ethanol with them put in fuel
are still selling Petron deals at such a high price.
Makes me think that the likes of Gull are gouging
the public. Very heavy rain in Timudu mine sweeper everyone
used to play out in the nineties, great game Marcus.

(01:26:30):
The US Navy has knife fish and lion fish underwater
drones for hunting and destroying minds. Yeah, how good? How
would that technology work? Do you only have one mind
that it doesn't detect that she's all over twenty four
away from eleven? If you want to talking any about
this or anything else. But yeah, that's what we're here for,

(01:26:50):
So get in touch. As I say, do you want
to be a part of it? All the lines are free.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine
two text if you want to be a part of
the show. And if to see how the breaking news
that you've got beautiful? If youre't about driving tonight too.
It's always good to get updates, I would say, it'd
be nice to hear from you. Let me just have

(01:27:13):
a bit of lock here people, So I'm trying to
bring you the latest news.

Speaker 4 (01:27:19):
I got.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
Once again, I've opened too many damn files on a computer.
Bit of a Rockies era. Now let me think that
there's something else need to tell you urgently tonight. No,
I think we've covered most of it. There was some
comments earlier about the wisdom of going ahead with the
air show or the amount of fuel that we'll use

(01:27:40):
and fuel for people to get there. But I imagine
they've got contracts all the planes and they're on their
way across. But yeah, it's not without some criticism of people.
Thinks perhaps it would be the right thing to call
that one off. In fact, I think what they've done
is open up an extra day, so instead of it's
Saturday and Sunday, it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday, so it's going
for three days rather than two. Because there was so

(01:28:01):
much interest in it, and as far as the situations
with the no that it's still raining heavily and Civil
Defense Northland said emergency Services and Kaitaia are helping with
the evacuation of a small number of residents. Far North
District Council held a hawkyard how do it have said

(01:28:23):
about fifty houses have been evacuated after the Owanui River
breach to stock Bank. Why Mamaku Hall has been open
to accommodate about forty displaced locals, and Kataya College said
it's gym was also on Radan Street was also ready
to receive evacuees. So it's a note there from Kataya College,
Kura Tefano if you have been evacuator, please no. Our

(01:28:46):
school gym on pook It Porturod is open and ready
to come support you. Come through. If you need a safe,
warm place, we are here for you. So yeah, people,
it seems to be that seems to be the biggest stories.
The Owenoi River. Don't know w that sourced actually, but
certainly runs right through the back of Kaitara, so I
wouldn't be supplied that there's more than the pack and
save that's flooded there. Ye're Jimmy, This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:29:09):
Oh hey Mark, Okay, you're good.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Jimmy. How are you going right?

Speaker 10 (01:29:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:29:13):
Not bad.

Speaker 17 (01:29:14):
I just had a bit of a well you might
have to carry out for me.

Speaker 10 (01:29:18):
I'm not really sure what I'm talking about, but.

Speaker 19 (01:29:22):
The fuel prices in.

Speaker 5 (01:29:23):
New Zealand, yes, like the fuel that's already here, Like
what I'm talking about is here now, which was paid
for two months ago, which maybe at that time was
one hundred.

Speaker 20 (01:29:37):
Dollars a barrel, that's an example. Yes, and it was
paid for two months ago or whatever. How the hell
did all of a sudden it's here in New Zealand,
it was paid for two months ago, and did it
go to three four dollars? I understand the ship's coming
across with the new with the new load, you know,
the price will be different, But the ones that was

(01:29:59):
paid for when it landed here. What's that BP now
and what we used today?

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
Jimmy, Jimmy, I know exactly what you're asking, and I
have not managed to find out that answer myself, although
I do know that what the fuel companies are doing
is completely legal and is not seen by the Commerce
Commission as extortionate. So so they must sell it on

(01:30:26):
the current price it's been going for over there must
be some situation the way they pay for it. I
can't work it out, and maybe someone can explain that
to me. But yeah, it's it feels wrong.

Speaker 8 (01:30:40):
Ye it was here sitting in the fieldbolver.

Speaker 14 (01:30:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
I haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
I haven't managed. I haven't managed to satisfactory answer that, Jimmy.
So if someone can have a good answering that I
think it would be a great a great service. I
appreciate your question, Jimmy. Hello, Adam, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:30:58):
Hey Marcus, just just on what you're saying about the
jet duel and that for all as a monoka and
everybody being concerned that we shouldn't use it and conserned.

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Not everyone. There have been some callers saying that they
think that the messaging and the optics are wrong with going.

Speaker 12 (01:31:16):
Ahead with it, and I understand that, but I also think,
like I think that they're using a different fuel source
than what everybody else is using for their cars, and
I don't see how they could necessarily be a problem
because yet it may have an impact on like flights

(01:31:38):
and stuff like that and that then, but I don't
think it would have an impact on like me and
you getting petrol, if that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Well, I guess in three weeks they say we're cutting
right back within New Zealand because there's no fewer things. Gee, okay,
maybe want to get warbirds over Warnica. Wasn't such a
great idea, That's what people will.

Speaker 12 (01:31:57):
Say that mainly what it was I got. I got
the impression that it was mainly people concerned about like
you know off of were you if we pay for
this right and they use the petrol and airplanes, that's
less petrol for you know what I mean, jet fuel,
that's less petrol for us to use, and that you know,

(01:32:18):
it's going to impact on the bottom dollar of the
everyday people that are trying to get to and from work.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
It's probably one of the biggest events with people traveling
around because one occurrence. You know, most people are coming
from elsewhere. It's not a place with the big populations,
and most people probably will be coming from christ Ditch,
so a lot of fuel will be spent getting there.
But that's just I suppose that's just unlatter.

Speaker 12 (01:32:40):
But sure, I think at the same time, and saying
that that's an individual, you know, circumstances that people are
going to do that either way. I mean, there have
been people that have been stocking up on fuel. I
don't know anybody that has, but I mean there's definitely
been you know, my wife was driving home and she

(01:33:02):
saw people at Waitomo with guest canisters, pulling up guest genisters.
So I'm kind of like, well, there's definitely people out
there that are doing that, but they're going to do
that either way, and people are going to try to
travel either way. So I don't I don't necessarily think
that holding off on an event like that is going

(01:33:23):
to impact us in that way.

Speaker 16 (01:33:26):
If that makes sense, Yeah, I understand it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
I think what will happen though, once if there is
rationing and after the fact that we coped so badly
with COVID and people got so worked up online. I
think if there's rationing, there'll be so much online behavior
and people not handling the gender. I think things will

(01:33:50):
get really really trick. I think if there's no petrol
in this country or not much in two or three months,
I think people will handle it really badly.

Speaker 12 (01:33:59):
I understand that as well, But I also do you agree?

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
Do you agree? I mean, we aren't resilient people anymore.
We're a complaining, owning bunch.

Speaker 12 (01:34:07):
Yeah. But I also think that's what the free market's
all about, right. The primar is going to go up, yeah,
I mean, like people complain about it and that, you know,
but the free marketer is going to do what.

Speaker 18 (01:34:20):
Is going to do.

Speaker 12 (01:34:21):
The price is going to go up, and unfortunately we're
just going to have to deal with that. And you
can moan as much as you like. I don't care
if people moan.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
I mean, I think if we run out of the
supply gets low. Already there's been people posting shots of
people loading forty gallon drums at NPD and stuff, and
there's been sort of a a oh yeah, people are
quite worked up about it.

Speaker 12 (01:34:51):
I don't think that we are going to run out
of Jill.

Speaker 19 (01:34:56):
We won't.

Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
We won't know though, will be because it's all unforeseen.

Speaker 12 (01:35:00):
But I think I think, like you have a look
at it, It's twenty percent of the world's petrol source,
and so I don't necessarily think that we're going to
run out completely.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
Twenty huge amount because it's all our stuff comes from there,
all Europe and Asia. That's so it might be twenty percent,
but it's.

Speaker 12 (01:35:20):
Yeah, I understand that as well. I just I just
think that the free market is going to do what
it's going to do. We're going to have to limit
what we have, and what ends up in the pump
is just going to end up getting more and more expensive,
meaning people can put less and less in their car,
meaning that that's what's going to correct the whole.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Do you think it's going to be self sorting through
the price. The price will be the deterrent.

Speaker 12 (01:35:47):
Yes, I think. I think, well, if we let it
do what it's going to do and let the free
market do it without anybody, you know, like the government
subsidizing it and all of that. And I'm personally I
kind of think, yeah, I want the government to subsidize it,
But is that going to be the best thing for

(01:36:08):
what's going to happen, Because even if they subsidize it,
that just leads people to buying at a cheaper price
and running out faster. If that makes sense, it makes sense.
Are Ah from work? Pretty much that's all I do.
I drive to and from work. That's pretty much.

Speaker 18 (01:36:29):
All I do.

Speaker 12 (01:36:30):
I don't really drive anywhere else. I mean I drive
down to tomorrow from christ Church to see my parents
and stuff like that, my grandparents. But even then, my
grandfather's from the l and I've avoided going down there
to see him just because yeah christ j Yeah yeah.

(01:36:53):
So I mean, you've got to you've got to make sacrifices,
you've got to got to understand what's going on. You
can't panic. I think that's one of the biggest things.
Like it's all that paper never actually ran out and
COVID just rushed and bought all the toilet paper that
they possibly could, leaving shelves empty. And then once they

(01:37:15):
were able to actually restock fully without people panic buying
to get the toilet paper, you know, the shelves absolutely
fulled with toilet paper. So I think that's the main
problem is that people are like people are panicking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Nice to talk get them thanks for that. Twelve from
eleven Rogert's Marcus good eating and welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 21 (01:37:39):
Hey, listen, I just just quickly affus things. Firstly, pigs
will get those out of the way. So I've been
using what they call a peaklet. You just buy them
and they a pea clip, a peaklip. You buy them
in engineering shops and they come in different sizes. They're
a little bit like a split thin yeah yeah, and
they've got a hoop on the end that you can

(01:38:00):
pull them off. They're not too good on your slash
clothes because they're around.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
There a metal or metal and rubber.

Speaker 21 (01:38:10):
Then the metal you get them all different grades of metal.
I've been using those for years and years, cheapest chips,
but like I said, not too good on your on
your flash clothes because because they're around, like, yeah, that's
really And then just the cost of the cost of fuel.
I personally, I think fuel is actually really really cheap.

(01:38:34):
It saves walking. I spend roughly one hundred dollars a
week on fuel, I guess on on petrol, and it's
still way way, way better than walking. I live fifty
k's away from the nearest town and I wouldn't want
to be walking that distance to go.

Speaker 3 (01:38:49):
That's remote.

Speaker 21 (01:38:51):
No, I'm not not too remote these more remote places.
All I love in Marlbury out in the country.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
Yeah, well like that sounds great.

Speaker 21 (01:38:59):
Yeah, I'll just give you a quick weather report. It's
raining in Marlborough and just on on jetsual I've been
We're in the middle of grape harvest at the moment
and doing the night shift and we've just been rained off.
But all day long the air Force has been practicing
with the new hercules.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Goodness, Okay, Well they might be needing them.

Speaker 18 (01:39:22):
That might be.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
That might be a bad thing because they might be
hitting for combat zone. So I can kind of understand
that also, Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 21 (01:39:29):
Yeah, but that's that's pretty much all.

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
Will the grapes be affected by all the rain.

Speaker 21 (01:39:34):
Yeah, they can do. If we get too much tonight,
you can't harvest them because it obviously puts water into
the wine.

Speaker 8 (01:39:41):
Yeah, and we're not Jesus.

Speaker 21 (01:39:44):
And yeah, the grapes will swell up. So if we
don't get any wind tomorrow, yeah, it mon't be disastrous,
but it's potential. I don't think we're going to get
the same volume of rain as the rest of the
country is getting by the sounds of things.

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
Okay, thanks for that. Hello, Daniel, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:40:02):
Good evening, Marcus calling from Auckland's north shore. And the
weather seems to calm down a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
When was it raining its heaviest, Oh.

Speaker 17 (01:40:11):
That was around when the news was on all couldn't
have a bridge area. We were getting really hammered.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
And when you when you say the news, do you
mean the six of hot news.

Speaker 4 (01:40:21):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 17 (01:40:22):
I tuned into the six o'clock news and then it
was really heavy. But now it's nicely to lift it
and so it's quite pleasant. It's yeah, it'll I think
things will clear off and it'll be great if it don't, Marcus,

(01:40:43):
if it ain't rain and we ain't training.

Speaker 3 (01:40:46):
If it ain't raining.

Speaker 17 (01:40:47):
We aren't What if it ain't raining, we ain't training.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
Oh you understand? Okay, thanks David, Jane Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:40:56):
Oh hid Marcus. What did you say if it ain't raining,
we ain't training.

Speaker 3 (01:41:01):
I don't know what it meant rain crain training with
a tea for tango tea raining training, Ah, train, Okay.

Speaker 22 (01:41:13):
Now, it's the price of housing goes down and the
availability of houses goes up. To me, that's a great thing.
That's what we want. And as the price of petrol
goes up that they've already paid for, it's because the
demand has increased, and to try and stop people from

(01:41:36):
being extravagant and buying too much of it, to hold
it back a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
Thanks Jenny, got some good texts about that. I forgot
to read those. I'll read those two about the price
of petrol. I think some of these. There's some quite
good explanations. Oh, by the way, and I'm in central
to Need near the top of High Street, in the
area that has no power for milion hour. But I
did get some petrol. Thank you. Just started raining. You're
in the cargo.

Speaker 23 (01:42:00):
We need it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:02):
You are banging on people won't handle petrol rationing well
after COVID, everyone's telling you every restriction, being told what
to do. What's the alternative? Have fights for petrol. They
sell the fuel at the price that they replace. It
strikes me a bit dodgy, but that's how it's done.
Ship hitting our way, getting bigger officers a worry Marcus.

(01:42:23):
In New Zealand, fuel companies use the replacement price model.
This means we are charged based on the cost of
the next shipment, not the current stock. The fuel pricing
is like if a baker sells a loaf for three
dollars that cost them two dollars to make, but the
price of flour just tripled, they have to raise the
price of the current loaf immediately. If they don't, the

(01:42:45):
three dollars they get back won't be enough to buy
the flour for the next loaf, and they'll quickly go
out of business. That's kind of the explanation I heard
on the radio. The rationale for fuel price rising so
quickly is that we start paying the price the companies
are paying now to get fuel and the ships overseas.
What we are paying now for the fuel that will
lead it a few months, you are not paying the

(01:43:05):
price the pit draw is bought for. You are paying
the current replacement price. You always have just no one
keys when it's a lower bill. There you go. Fuel
is priced by what it costs to replace it, not
what it costs to buy it. Because if a station
sells today's stock yes day's low price, they wouldn't have

(01:43:27):
made by the next more expensive delivery. Very good explanation,
Thank you for that. That's the way it's done. Halftime
in the Rugby League, mainly ahead ten to eight against
the Roosters. It's dellly Chelliot Terrier and his new team
versus his old team. That's a story. That's what they've
kind of hooked the whole thing on a tire. College

(01:43:47):
closed tomorrow too. Probably not so much because it's weir
there because I've got the store, but probably it's going
to be very wet for people to get there. Yeah,
that's happening. Welcome people here till twelve. Romance along at midnight.
The big wet continues. There are rain warnings, red rain
of warnings in the north till four a m. No

(01:44:07):
other words, that's come down and being into the tessm
and it's not coming down. I think it's dragging rain
across the country. If you look at Windy dot com. Mike,
it's Marcus Good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:44:17):
Yeah here Marcus good Mike, thank you. Yeah, calling from Marinsville,
very windy.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Here have been rain since what what is that raining?

Speaker 9 (01:44:27):
Uh?

Speaker 19 (01:44:28):
Probably early this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
Okay, okay, what isn't it? Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:44:32):
And we get that. But it's called the come my
buster here and my range, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:44:37):
You're sorry? What's it called the kui my buster?

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
Didn't know that didn't know you had your own special wind?

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
Wow?

Speaker 19 (01:44:42):
Yeah, you know, terrible, terrible blustery wind in order that
he un informed people that put their only ben yet
today for recycling and they all ended up on the road.

Speaker 3 (01:44:56):
But well, it's the council's fault for collecting it when
there's a kim My Buster on. I think that's their trouble.
I mean, you know, because otherwise you're paying for it.
They just shouldn't collect it.

Speaker 19 (01:45:05):
Oh yeah, I tonight with someone actually, I said that
people shouldn't probably put them out, and he said that
it's tipped out on the ground or the council's job
to pick it up. But I thought it was probably
the Perston that put the really been out's job to
pick it up.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
But there should be an APP and the council should
take the night before and say it's too windy, we're
going to cancel ontil the wind drops and they should
all be on APP. It's a disaster. Otherwise it just
goes everywhere anyway.

Speaker 19 (01:45:27):
Yeah, anyway, Yeah, the pigs we use, they're called Sunshine pigs.
I think they're a yellow sort of heavy duty plastics,
spring loaded jobby and yeah, they seem to do the job.
We know, we're not by the CEO here or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:45:40):
So someone else recommended those. I haven't got a visual
sunshine A yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:45:44):
Yeah, they're so likely traditional Well, I don't know if
they're designed and invented in New Zealand or what. The
story is that they're good, pretty pretty strong.

Speaker 3 (01:45:53):
And the u V the u V treated, I think
they do they ever snap?

Speaker 19 (01:46:01):
Sometimes they do? I think after a while they Yeah,
But on the fuel. Just got back from unloading a
stock truck and from the Hawk's bay and put to
the driver and he was saying he'd come up from
my booker are and he tried to get fuel and
TAPO and toker and trar and it wasn't until he

(01:46:22):
hit Wahara that he'd found the track stop that actually
had diesel, So it was interesting. Wow, and four undred
leaders he filled up with, you know, six weeks ago
with the dollars even your leader, and tonight it was
three dollars thirty I think he said, so, yeah, quite
a substantial jump. Was Are you a farmer I work

(01:46:45):
for in the agricultural industry?

Speaker 3 (01:46:47):
Year Are the farmers complaining about fuel and what that
will do for them?

Speaker 19 (01:46:52):
Not really. I'd imagine like the guys that are near
the contractors that are harvesting the maze and reselling the
patison's at the moment that's they're cutting into it. But
I know in my business, you know, with stock trucks,
they've increased their prices for carding the cows and they've

(01:47:14):
i think it's called a fair or fast tax or
something they've you know, if you'll searcharge that's gone up.
The price of a twenty foot container of meat going
to North America's gone up five thousand dollars on top
of what they were already playing weeks ago. Yeah, it's
interesting times.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
Yeah, thanks, Mike. I'm just reading in Australia too, they're
taking this really serious. This is breaking news in Australia
because Albanese is called a seeker. National Crisis meeting in
Australia said they could be playing significantly more for milk
and wider food supply fears if the shipping eruptions are
not resolved within weeks. Public transport discounts, work from home

(01:47:59):
and car pulling are proposed, and hospitality operators are considering
imposing a five percent search charge on customers as transport
delivery costs soar during the ongoing fuel crisis. The Australian
restaurant cafe Associations whose business will produce a temporary surcharge
on all meals including takeaways, and therese one hundred and

(01:48:21):
thirty four gas stations of Victoria that we're out petrol,
so they're already talking about surcharge. They reckon petrol, wolgar,
they reckon milk will go up almost a dollar per liter.
So it's not worried about running out of toilet paper,
they're worried about not having food. The dairy industry faces
growing risk and disruptions to global petrol chemical supply, with
milk PEP packaging heavily dependent on oil based resins, so

(01:48:45):
it doesn't matter how much it costs, because we won't
have anything to put the milk in. They're taking it
very very seriously. Boom, an Australian pharmacies, is scrambling to
secure enough fuel to finish his harvesting as crops warning
an ongoing shortage are now threatening supplies of everyday staple
food to the choke point the strait of hor Moos.

(01:49:06):
People are saying, get in touch if you want to talk.
Thirteen past eleven, Heitel twelve and siphoning petrol. Someone thinks
the Kimi buster should be a quick quick question. You
will put it in what's the wind and what you say?
It was from Dan Morrinsville. We've got a few winds
in New Zealand. We've got what are the winds in

(01:49:27):
New Zealand. We've got the Kaimi Buster. We've got the
one on Graymouth called the Barber I think that's right.
The one on christ j is just called the nor May.
We've got three winds or and they more the I
think that's it's just called the Norwester. Marcus. We brought
one thousands leaders of put Deesel on petrol. From Z's
sheer tank Beck. As the Iranian tension broke out, we

(01:49:48):
paid half of what it is now. It's so good
fulling up and it paid for at the old prices levels,
saving seventy five dollars every fill. Bonus evening Matt AT's Marcus,
good evening and welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:50:03):
Hi Marcus, doing good, Thanks Matt.

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
How yourself doing right?

Speaker 11 (01:50:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:50:07):
Yeah, yeah, Central Hawk's Bay a bit of one where
we're quite often get one for a year from this.

Speaker 4 (01:50:16):
Kind of north west Wesley has it got a no,
not that I know, not that I know, okay, but there's.

Speaker 10 (01:50:31):
Also other weather going on and in the straits of
Home Moos. At the moment, it's tomorrow it's going to
be twenty four C, which is pretty mild really for
that and precipitation, humidity eighty percent and wind twenty kilometers

(01:50:54):
an hour, and through that zone it's it's the depth
of the ocean is no more greater than like seventy meters.

Speaker 4 (01:51:05):
It's really yellow.

Speaker 8 (01:51:07):
The water is really hot as warm.

Speaker 4 (01:51:10):
So the ship's going through there, yep, the.

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
Ship's going through you keep going, ship's going through there.

Speaker 10 (01:51:19):
Because of the heat of the water that you know,
with their massive propellers with these bigger worlds tankers and stuff.
They they've got to really pre determine what they're going
to do because they don't get as much chopped with
the cold cold of water, you know, with the propellers.

(01:51:41):
But you brought up earlier on you you mentioned something
about you know, like underwater drones and and minds and
how would they do that? You know, and you know,
my my first thought with with what I've been researching
and what's been coming at me, you know, over over

(01:52:03):
the internet and what have you these days, is that
these strones or you know, they have major AI systems
in them. They're really compact, and they can They're like whales, mate,
they can they can go through and they can you know,

(01:52:25):
sound out that all patterns, and they know already what
the patterns of the Iranian mines are and can detect them.
And because the water is so shadow, they come up
and transmit that information up to the satellites, which helps

(01:52:45):
the whole process of actually going in and taking them out.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
Yeah, you take the information with a grain of salt, though,
wouldn't You wouldn't be the first.

Speaker 4 (01:52:54):
Time, sorry, you take the AI.

Speaker 3 (01:52:57):
Did you say you take this information with a grain
of salt, the power of the underwater drone detectors. It
wouldn't be the first time that people have talked up
their military capabilities in a conflict.

Speaker 10 (01:53:10):
Yeah. Well, I guess if you take everything with a
grain of salt, then you know that's what you're going
to get. But if you're into you know, doing a
bit of research and looking this way and that way
and understanding you know what what people are putting out
there on information, you gravitate.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
So you talked about you talked about the stuff that
was coming at you on the internet.

Speaker 10 (01:53:39):
Well, I don't just I don't just look at it
black and white, you know, I try to try and
throw out a wide net to you know, ascertain.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
Thank you, Matt, I will say an observation from me.
I don't know if this is something that resonates with
you or not. I've noticed in the last two nights
Wednesday and Thursday, I get thousands of texts every night.
But I've just as the last two days that the
texters are becoming I get that sense when people are

(01:54:12):
getting stressed with things, and I'm picking that up again
today with what people are texting. It's retubtle, but it
shifts and people are getting quite well. Some people are
getting bit of a head of steam up, which is interesting.
I don't know that's because what they think is going
to happen, or what they want to happen, but anyway,
that's happening. Yes, Scott, this is Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
What have you got to report?

Speaker 4 (01:54:35):
Scott?

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
Well, I'm down here in christ Church?

Speaker 21 (01:54:40):
Perfect, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
The wind yeah, really, I never think of christ Church
being I think I've ever been in christ Church when
it's been windy.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Well, we're get in the Northwesters, in the southern least,
so you know, you know, they're quite invigorating, to say
the least.

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):
And what's what's what is today's on? I'm pretty special.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
Uh, I wouldn't say that, but this evening and it's
been quite refreshing, you might say.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Is it sort of whether that you think there could
be trees down in flooding? Is it quite serious?

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
Done about the flooding? We haven't had any rain yet, okay,
but the wind is very very strong.

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
Okay, So are they like branches down in stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:55:31):
Scott?

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
No, but I've got an iron roof and it started rattling,
and it doesn't often. I should have put a house
for tiles.

Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
Yeah, but I'll tell you what. And this is for
you because you're in the quake zone. A lot of
people have gone and got rid of their tile roofs
and put tin on because the tile is like four
tons on your roof, isn't it. They don't like that
in the quakes.

Speaker 2 (01:55:58):
Well, there's full pros and cons out always.

Speaker 3 (01:56:01):
I don't know about tile roofs.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
Yeah, we haven't had any rain yet, but it's forecast.
But yeah, you know, i'd be sitting here and it
woke me up at one stage, so well obviously it
woke me up. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:56:20):
I never think people have gone to bed before they
ring the sun. Please to know that's got Yeah, because
I'm always up by you think anyone else is up?

Speaker 4 (01:56:27):
Ya?

Speaker 3 (01:56:27):
Hello, Kirie, this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:56:30):
Yeah, Hey Marcus. How you had a caller? I think
one when the last hour the start there just calling
about the the some of the one they call it
truck stops. Yes, and there's no way they should be
having me. I know it probably is, but that's that's
pretty serious. We're talking about talking about fake trucks. We're

(01:56:51):
talking about trucks that get food on our super markets,
you know, not have not been able to fill up
in a truck stop. You're thinking up there on a
separate fuelt.

Speaker 3 (01:57:02):
Hey, I just imagined that trucks themselves would normally start
from Auckland and Wellington that have enough on board to
get there and back. They wouldn't need to stop on
the way. That would be my thoughts. But yeah, I
don't know that.

Speaker 24 (01:57:15):
Yeah, I know for us like we can go the
whole distance, but I know trucks too have to stop
a couple of times, a little bit different they haul
heavylis and what we do. But you know there's that's
that's no. I couldn't be read it that but obviously
that's it's not You think the government would you know,

(01:57:36):
step from before anything like that. I know they are
gonna well.

Speaker 3 (01:57:41):
I think the government's running interesting path. They're trying to
be chilled out, not taking it too seriously. But I
think probably I think that I think there is an
amount of unease out there and I think we probably
needed more information, more better information, more often.

Speaker 24 (01:57:56):
Yeah, I think so, Marcaus I've just been through Mongowicca
about half an hour ago, and it's just about four
dollars for ninety five there.

Speaker 3 (01:58:04):
Yeah, it's a lot on the joke, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:58:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
Okay, Okay, good stuff. Carey appreciate that. Texts Marcus. We're
having torrential rain in North Otago. Marcus Windy has a
really windy thing here in Banks Peninsula. I'm expecting a
mess in the morning. Phil Hope, Jordan, Luck's all right
to a little river. Remember we flooded last time. Good evening, Marcus,
Stue Heredneden wereporting strong winds and medium rainfall since midday.

(01:58:32):
I can even the emergency series is going out from
the yard close by every hour or more. Marcus Beck.
We had the Carlos days in rationing last time. We's
a country. We're a better place. We just got on
with it and had the chin up. It will be
a better to our attitude. Now we do have instant
access to information that is live, and we see the
privilege flaunting the rules which have broken the chin up attitude.

(01:58:53):
Twenty five to twelve, Roman from midnight twenty six sixteen,
Sydney Roosters over manly Patty, this is Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:59:02):
Hi, good evening, Marcus, I just want to talk about
the seal Christ and the lack of response by the
people in power in New Zealand. And just recently I
saw the Minister of Finance telling us that we were
getting petrol from Australia. She said on a newscas and

(01:59:26):
I thought, hmm, okay, but Australia are running out of petrol.
I know they have two refineries there and they can
make some, but they they're running out themselves. So they
aren't going to be shipping petrol over to us or
selling it to us because they there's no rules.

Speaker 3 (01:59:49):
I think if there's a contract that have to respect
that with an ally, wouldn't they.

Speaker 23 (01:59:53):
But we normally don't get our petrol from them anyway.
But what I'm saying is, do you think it's about
time the government somebody came out and said instead of
people going and stop past that the petrol stations, I mean,
we need it to last and we need it to
be there's no use sort of putting extra money in

(02:00:15):
people's pocket and people going and buying extra petrol and cans, and.

Speaker 22 (02:00:22):
We need to out.

Speaker 3 (02:00:23):
Really, I think there needs to better communication. They need
to say this is how much we've got coming. This
is the ships, this is where they're coming from. Even
see that. Matt Nipty's a good reporter. He's had to
get on to the ship tracking websites to work out
how much is coming. And they should have to do that.
There should be a graphic that comes up. Here's the ships,
These are our contracts. These where it's coming. If we
continue with current use, we've got this much to last

(02:00:46):
for this, you know. And just to say, hey, if
you don't want to go away for Easter, it's probably
the wise thing to I think in times like this,
people are looking for calm direction, absolutely, and all we've
got is Shane Jones going on about that damn Marsden
Point refinery, which is a confusing and irrelevant discussion, absolutely,

(02:01:07):
and everyone else just doing sort of snide, smug half smiles,
sort of making it all.

Speaker 4 (02:01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:01:14):
I can't believe they're just fighting amongst themselves and not
worrying about the rest of the country.

Speaker 4 (02:01:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:20):
I haven't seen them fighting amongst themselves.

Speaker 7 (02:01:22):
Well, but each party.

Speaker 23 (02:01:24):
I mean, for goodness sake, some one leader, will you
stand up and give us some direction?

Speaker 4 (02:01:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
I think people. I think people, and I've noticed that
on this show that people are some have been stockpiling,
some have been worried. I mean, yeah, I think people
are stressed by it.

Speaker 23 (02:01:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, well I'll probably they are because there's
no reassurance, no real plan. I think, I don't know,
they've seem all a but Waffy. I just am really
really disappointed in the performance so far.

Speaker 3 (02:01:56):
And Patty can I also say that I think and
probably it's from my circumstance as well, with the war
in the Middle East, is we all try and get information,
find out what's going on, and look at the kind
of those that school that got killed. It's it's not
a nice time. I think that adds a base level
of stress as well, that you know you've got a
conflict that will afflict every part of your life, that

(02:02:19):
there's no off remp for Trump, and just that unknown
nature of that. I think they add stress to people's
lives as well, because it's a really serious world conflict
that could have Yeah, me too, I feel it's yes,
because when COVID was I was always trying to read
more information to work out what was going on, and

(02:02:40):
I find myself down that rabbit hole as well. I'm
sort of not doom scrolling, but trying to read everything
I can about what's going you know, and it's I mean,
there's no reason for me to read it all. I
don't need to know everything about it, but I feel
it's almost like my duty.

Speaker 4 (02:02:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:02:53):
But and also, Marcus, you know, I need tools, I
need pills to live as I've got a condition. And
I'm still thinking to myself, jeez, I wonder if they're
going to arrive the next load, you know, and all
these sort of things are going.

Speaker 3 (02:03:07):
Through if you had reassurance, if you sought reassurance or
had unprompted reassurance about that.

Speaker 23 (02:03:14):
No, I haven't. I haven't gone down that. Yeah, fair enough,
but maybe I should.

Speaker 3 (02:03:18):
Oh well he was going to well you know, maybe yeah,
can you control what can you worry about? I mean
that's probably something they could say. They could the Minister
of Health say, okay, if you are worried about medications
these other reassurances, is how we're going to transport it.
We've got our own hercules.

Speaker 4 (02:03:36):
It can go yeah, to pick up stuff.

Speaker 23 (02:03:40):
Yeah, But just no communication is just simpingly unheard of
in times like that.

Speaker 3 (02:03:46):
I think so, and I think we're seeing the Australia
situation where Albanize seems to be a much better communicator
and he's he's formed this narcore or something. That's this
guy who's been appointed to be in charge of looking
at their whole oil preparedness. Let me just make sure
that I've got that right. It's the guys nor Code chief,

(02:04:08):
and I think I don't fully know what that is,
but it seems though that someone that just is involved
with that.

Speaker 23 (02:04:15):
It's I mean, it's like what just ended it. During COVID,
we got specialists in the positions that needed to be
reporting back to the government about the situation. So we
need the same thing happening for this because it is
a crisis.

Speaker 3 (02:04:34):
Yeah, and it's not going to be resolved anytime soon. No, no, no,
we need to prepare it because there's no way it
can be resolved. They've both got such different wants.

Speaker 23 (02:04:43):
Yes, and we we've got we've als, we've always got
to go worse case scenario.

Speaker 3 (02:04:49):
Yeah, Okay, I ensured that conversation, Patty, thank you for that.
A text or has texted as they do and told
me there's a New Zealand business person that's start up
a website about how much fuel. It's called New Zealand
oil watch dot com is excellent. It's got how much
fuel the supplies, it's ticking over. It's got how many

(02:05:10):
ships and where the ships are. It's a fantastic website.
It's not buggy and it's got no advertising. It's excellent.
It's fantastic New Zealand oil watch dot com. It's a
beautiful thing. It cher is for that, Josh, I think
it was it. Text it through Jonathan. It's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (02:05:27):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (02:05:31):
How are you good? Thank you?

Speaker 11 (02:05:33):
I just funny you say that after that last text,
And like I was going to comment, why are we
operating like a business in this sense? And somebod who
started that website? Clarity is key, right, We just need
to have transparency across what's coming in the country and out,
and let's treat it like a business. Like if I
was operating like this and not being transparent to my

(02:05:54):
clients about my services or what's next or what I
can and can't do, I wouldn't have any clients.

Speaker 3 (02:06:00):
It's good point because I feel like we've been treated
like children that we can't that we're not allowed the information.
We can't be trusted with it or something.

Speaker 11 (02:06:07):
And it's out there and it's you know, it has
to take someone like the previous text a to start
a website so that we can be open and transparbed
with New Zealanders. It's just it just seems crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:06:17):
The government should have done that a month ago. Go hard,
go Willie.

Speaker 11 (02:06:20):
This is that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:20):
This the situation. Here's what we've got these the situation.
Here's a website where you can check it out.

Speaker 11 (02:06:27):
That puts the mind at ease, right and okay, cool,
We've got fifty days and there's a ship coming in there.
That's great, so we can continually operate and I can
feed the kids and we've got them. You know, we've
got the family sorted. What's next and you know the
staged approach towards handouts and one card days is great.
But you know, all we need to do is Kiwi business.
We're resilient, right, you know, look at the you know

(02:06:49):
we've we've got we've got we've got some good grounds
and some good backgrounds from you know, from our fathers
that we we know how to offer it in hard times.
But we're we can't offer it if we don't know
what's ahead, And.

Speaker 3 (02:06:58):
Can I just say that is Luckson's great weakness. He's
such a poor communicator. He doesn't feel like he's engaging
with He's either not across anything and trying to not
answer it or just padding. I mean, if a good
community came out and said here's the situation, and if
we're someone who were used to listening to him and
trusting him, would be good as gold. But he's failed

(02:07:21):
to communicate any of it.

Speaker 11 (02:07:24):
So we've just had like some of the most epic
New Zealanders at the Business Awards and Key of the Year, right,
Like these guys are entrepreneurs in the tech area and
across the board about furthering New Zealand and who we
are as like as people. But where I feel like
we've just hit like a block with us, like we're
congratulating entrepreneurs but we can't know how much fuels coming

(02:07:46):
into our country.

Speaker 19 (02:07:47):
It just doesn't connect, you know, because.

Speaker 3 (02:07:50):
We're in the golden age of information. Information is key,
that's what you're saying. Is it so well? I mean,
I'm sure this guy just designed this for AI. It's
a great look at website, but wouldn't be hard to do.

Speaker 11 (02:07:58):
And now we know exactly and that that should be
available to every key we business, and we should know
how we can work with that, manage that and claim
on that.

Speaker 10 (02:08:08):
You know, the business is going.

Speaker 3 (02:08:09):
Who got the entrepreneur is all about I'm reading a
lot about those things around. Cow's next is whole of
the who won it?

Speaker 11 (02:08:17):
What a great idea that's for chewing in invention one
on one like somebody.

Speaker 3 (02:08:22):
It's a pretty obvious idea though, wasn't it.

Speaker 11 (02:08:24):
But hey, but there and the chie we've done it.

Speaker 15 (02:08:26):
That's what's important.

Speaker 3 (02:08:28):
How we got out, I know, but you know they
put them, we put them on people next wet they'll
be tracking us.

Speaker 5 (02:08:34):
All.

Speaker 11 (02:08:35):
Oh, they won't hurt us, Mark, I s'll be right,
but you'll get out of there.

Speaker 3 (02:08:38):
I need some help with that.

Speaker 2 (02:08:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:08:40):
Thirteen to twelve, ten to twelve. Hello, Chris, this is Marcus.
Welcome way, Marcus.

Speaker 10 (02:08:49):
How you doing good?

Speaker 3 (02:08:50):
Thank you, Chris, God, I hope you can hear me clearly, Yeah,
really clear. Thank you for that.

Speaker 15 (02:08:55):
It's good.

Speaker 14 (02:08:56):
Hey, it was just you were talking about the straits
and poor moves and how it's the sort of center
of attention at the moment that I remember it in
a very different way. So when we were living in Dubai,
we used to live in Jamera, which is right in
the middle of Dubai.

Speaker 4 (02:09:11):
On the beach.

Speaker 14 (02:09:12):
And something that the expats used to do back in
the early two thousands. They'd jump in their car and
they'd head out of the city and they'd travel across
the Huta Mountains. So you'd go past the big sand
dunes and through the Hut of mountains and there were
a couple of tunnels that you'd go through and you'd
end up on that on that nib right next to.

Speaker 3 (02:09:33):
The because look, I spent a day looking at that,
and they've been looking to how to get there and
trip Advisor and the beaches and all sorts of stuff.
So that's amazing.

Speaker 14 (02:09:42):
Two hours in a car mate the baker on a motorbike.

Speaker 3 (02:09:48):
So there's sand hills between Dubai and there. There's tunnels
and sandhills are there.

Speaker 14 (02:09:54):
If you go out, you go through the big sand dunes.
They've got a big place called Big Red and that's
where most of the expats would go and you'd and
you'd travel there and do an off road venture there
copy it was a a beautiful hotel that was in
the middle of the Hutta Mountain. So there's a mountain
range that you go past. It's not a huge mountain range,
but there are highways that sort of travel or roads

(02:10:17):
that travel through there to get you across to Fujia
Beach in ol Aco Beach, which is on the UAE
side of the Straits of Hormuz, and we used to
go there and there was a little island there. You
can actually see it if you look it up on
the Internet called Snoopy's Island. And the reason why it
was called Snoopy's Island because it looked like Snoopy sitting

(02:10:39):
on his dog dog cage. So it was a little
island that we'd go to. There was a little place
called Sandy Cove where the expats was the best kept
secret back then, but everyone would go across there and
camp there, and you'd have a little chalet right on
the beach on the straits of horn Moose and you'd

(02:10:59):
be able to swim out to a little island and
the island was a marine reserve, was surrounded by beautiful animals.
You'd have turtles coming up, so you'd sort of feed
the turtles and they'd swim with you while you snorkeled
around the island. So that's how I remember the straits
of all move's not quite the same as probably what
it's like now. I can only imagine the amount of

(02:11:19):
pollution from ships getting destroyed, et cetera. There's only one
time I think I visited there when we had a
bit of an ormal spill and there were some sort
of oil spots on the beach. But I always remember
it as a paradise. And if you look it up
on the internet. Snoopies Island al Aka Beach in Fijia Uae,

(02:11:42):
you'll see what I mean. Beautiful spot.

Speaker 3 (02:11:44):
Hey, so just doubt that Polinia and I must have been.
As I've been trying to talk to you, I've been
trying to find Snoopy's Island. I haven't managed to do it,
from what you've said. But there's nothing much out there
as far as people don't live out there. There aren't
many commercial enterprises out there, are there.

Speaker 10 (02:11:59):
Well, there wasn't when we were there. It was quite remote.

Speaker 3 (02:12:04):
Barren, isn't it not anymore?

Speaker 15 (02:12:07):
When we were.

Speaker 14 (02:12:08):
Living there, they were building huge meridian hotels along the
beach front there, so there was a lot of development
going on. But you know, we're going back probably about
ten fifteen years now twenty years almost.

Speaker 3 (02:12:21):
You see, I can't see that develop Yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:12:24):
Look up for Jerra Uae. It's sort of like where
it is.

Speaker 3 (02:12:27):
It's on the coastline there on the west coast, on
the east coast of the peninsula.

Speaker 7 (02:12:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:12:33):
You go right across and I think you've got Oman
on your left and also Oman on your right. It
kind of splits in Oman.

Speaker 3 (02:12:39):
Yeah, okay, beautiful, but I'm looking at looking at for
Jerra now yeah, okay, yeah, it's quite a bit going
on there isn't there for sure. And the water is
clear on there's much fish.

Speaker 14 (02:12:50):
Oh, it's incredible, you know, you have. It was a
marine reserve, so you'd have these turtles swim up to
you and feed and you'd feed them by hand, and
then you'd have other there were sea snakes that sort
of swam about and creatures that sort of changed in color.
A fantastic place, and you know, we used to get
across here as often as we could, but that was

(02:13:13):
a while ago.

Speaker 3 (02:13:13):
Now looks dry the way, boy, come, I mean, it
really is desert isn't it very try? Yeah, okay, it's
nice to talk. Thanks for that. Yet, I've spent a
lot of time on Google Maps looking at that part
of the country the straight I haven't found Snoopy Island though.
That's the thing that's got me a bit. But that's
all right. There's a lot of Snoopy islands, is one
on FIGI I might have found it here. Hey, that's

(02:13:36):
almost time for me to go people. They might be
Snoopy Island there. Actually, yes, I found Snoopy Island. I
can't quite see how it works looking like Snoopy that's fine. Oh,
it's quite built up there. That's not right at the
peak of it. That's kind of on the side of
the peninsula.
