Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be thanks for tuning in. People, welcome Marcus here
or twelve. Hope it's good where you are. People, get
in touch if you want to start the whole discussion tonight.
It's a blank slate. It's a Friday lot of sport
onto some of you will be watching the rugby, some
of you watching the netball. The Constellation Capital like the
name of that constellation, but fair enough, that's what they're

(00:31):
calling that. That starts at nine and thirty. I'll keep
you updated whether it's halftime in the rugby Union at
the moment and Dunedin, so that's I think there's one
of the guys that Daneedin and I take it one
of the guys in the bin but scored during that time,
so that'd be happy with. That was a headshot. So
that's a situation. I keep you going, do well, but
your screens not sorted out, Dan, get in touch if

(00:54):
you got to be a part of the show. Marcus
till twelve. Time for the show to breathe night Friday.
We've got a lot on, a lot on, actually got
nothing on, but we've got a lot to talk about tonight.
We've got a lot of time to talk That's why
I should be saying. The big news tonight that was
not really covered on the show today is the fact
that one of the musicians from Kiss has died. Now,

(01:19):
I don't know much about Kiss, a bit about Kiss,
but I do know that people are into Kiss, are
way into Kiss. They've played it is in a number
of times. But Ace Freely, lead guitarist and co founder,
has died, performed on Kisses first nine albums, had a

(01:39):
recent fall, suffered injuries, So a big deal. Paul Stanley, Pettercrass,
Ace Freely, Jens Simmons. They are on the original Kiss.
That's a situation there. Born in nineteen fifty one, if
it wasn't overly old to have died from a four
with only seventy four, but foundly Kiss in seventy three,

(02:01):
extraordinary banned people that loved them loved them, So you
might want to mention to say something about that, and
you do get in touch. He was the guy that
looking at them maker, here's the guy that had the
just so you know him. He was the guy that
had the two stars as opposed to Jane Simmons had
the center partner bit coming down as opposed to go
with the cat makeup and as opposed to go with

(02:23):
just the one star. You think we got that right,
but there we go. If you want to mention him
to I'm always happy to talk about Kiss Brilliant. I mean,
they didn't take themselves too seriously, didn't they. You couldn't
say that. So that's one of the things that's on
the topic tonight is Kiss the band. Anything else you
want to talk about too, Marcus, anything goes Friday. I've

(02:47):
been trying to find a smallers board restaurant for my
brother's wedding. I'm shocked at how few are still around.
We do miss all you can eat Pizza Hut. That's
from Zach Zack. Where do you want this wedding? We
might be able to help you. Where are where's your brother?
Where's the wedding going to be? I don't know we
were a good but it's got some quite high end

(03:07):
smallers board restaurants that are quite good. Blo Costure King's ransome,
So just putting that out there too. By the way,
there's some traffic vessels today or not traffic Kessles there's
some road closures. I think north Owamada has closed because
you're trying to pull a truck that's gone off the roads,
off the edge out of the ditch. That's happening tonight.
That's one of the things that is happening. Get in
touch if you want to talk. Eight hundred and eighty eight.

(03:31):
By the way, we talked about how to get dogs
that couldn't walk into cars on ramps, and someone said
they take their seat out to put the dog in.
This was big last night. Now text has come through
and said, just this to the bloke where has border
collie in the front seat so dangerous and a crush
the earbags deploy and can kill the dog easily. That's

(03:53):
a consider if you remove the seat for your dog
you bought a collie, it could blow the seats, the
bags could blow, and your dog could get killed. That's
all about dog ramps. It was big last night. Another
text and get to these emails. Last night. I've had
a lot to do with dog ramps. Had a small dog,
so'd easyly lift them into the Carbinet problem was getting
up and down the five stairs to a house. I

(04:13):
brought a four step ramp and yes, carpet each sections.
When little dog was so light she'd slip. Best ramps
are from trade tested. It took me fifteen minutes to
reach her teacher to use it. I use the favorite treats.
Cheese is good, and you stand beside the ram and
encourage them up the ramp with the treats in front

(04:34):
of them. Easy peasy. I had no idea ever the
dogs would eat cheese. I thought cheesy one of those
things that could kill them. Fancy dog wanting cheese AnyWho.
So back on dog ramps for that carryover to dog

(04:55):
ramps are, by the way, dog ramps and also kiss
if you want to talk about that. Now, there's other
stuff on tonight too. I'll just rave about stuff'll see
what it actually sticks. That's normally how it works. By
the way, we can't quite sure if they warriors of resigned.
Luke Metcalf two weeks from him becoming a free agent,
great term free agent. That's happening also too. So get

(05:18):
in touch if you want to talk Marcus till twelve
and do come through as I say, Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to de
text if you want to be a part of it.
Would love to hear from you, as I say it
to anything goes tonight to free for all Friday. It's
loose as a goose. There'll be other stuff you want
to mention. You are more than welcome to do that.
Come on. Thirteen past eight. So far we've got dog

(05:43):
ramps and kiss. I reckon kiss is one of those topics.
I might kick it. After ten twenty one twelve, two
minutes of the second half Otago twenty one bay of
platy twelve, they're still down to fourteen otago. I'm looking
at that now. I thought the yellow car had taken
a half time has taken them beyond halftime. Nasty head
knock too. By the way, I can tell you the

(06:06):
high school Principles have now come out and they said
they support a ban on social media because the children
are on social media and energy drinks and they're disengaged.
They're up or night playing games and energy drinks. Then
during the day they're on social media, well not during
the day at night I suppose out because the cut
of their phones at school. Can they but Australia's having

(06:27):
it going and they reckon they can get it working.
So there we go, and I think everyone says unworkable.
But they're all vested interests, aren't they. So there's more
talk about that. Also, currently we're exposing a generation of
young people to mental and emotional assault twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week. Principals are dealing with

(06:50):
the tsunami of mental health issues in our schools and
part caused by the misuse of social media. Because hard
enough for an adult cope with all the social media.
Imagine if you're thirteen, just work out who you are.
Oh goodness, they get that up to sixteen. Cheap creepers.
Don't say we can't do it. The Ausies can. They'll
lead the way. But that and kiss and dog rams

(07:15):
see there's three things already kissed off forgot that he
got texts to fourteen past eight. Also, it's quite a
fast moving game, this rugby match. Btw. Wow, it should

(07:41):
be called the Consternation Cup with the mismanagement at netpule
n z. Very good. Get in touch you on a
talk Richard emails text rock and roll Over album was

(08:06):
the best cassel that Ace played on. Play it loud,
It'll change your life. Really, I think you're probably right is.
It's if your life wants to be changed, if you're
at life needs changing twenty one twelve stores the Rugby
Scoore looking fort to start the whole r. I realize
a lot of you'll be watching sports, so that's fine.
I'm carry on my own, but do get in touch

(08:27):
if you do want to be on the air tonight
speaking to the world. The nation would be good to
hear from you. Oh, by the way, this is exciting
Taylor Swift to need Sharon have had a falling out. Wow,
he seems like such a sort of persistent, pestering type

(08:48):
guy Cherny couldn't fall out with anyone. I'll tell you more.
But the story is paywalled. Isn't that annoying now that
most stories are paywalled, even on the Chief and Chief
and Cheerful Free websites. So, by the way, now they're
going through Ace freddy Instagram accounts. Look the last shots

(09:10):
of him collapsed in his home studio a few weeks
ago hitting his head that hit the medical crisis. Well,
they were touring that's that also too. But if I'll
try there and the rugby looks like it's a try
to a Tago they're up in the stands, so that'll
make get twenty six twelve. They'll win this. I'll just

(09:35):
tell you what happened. Pledges scored. Oh yeah, shocking tackles.
One guy got through about three, then past it. Then
the other guy scored. So just a sidestep inside passed.
Looks good A seventeen past day. As I say, if

(09:57):
you want to be a part of the show, welcome,
anything goes tonight looking. Oh, if you're doing something interesting
out and about starting the play, you might be an uberist.
You might be driving around town. Let us know how
busy things are as the economy kicked back and yet Marcus,
my memory is crap, but I remember it seemed to
recall that Bleach was a free agent. It took a

(10:18):
few years to realize my wife was also a free agent.
Someone said, Pauling Gillespie going to politics. What's your thoughts?
Well would she though? Goodness? I want comment, Marcus. Early
eighties parents smuggled us in the group to the concert
Athletic Park, Wellington. So awesome was that Kiss Athletic Park?

(10:41):
I'd like to hear memories of that. Where'd you see kiss?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Be?

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Huge?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Athletic Park? Up there on the backstand. I don't know
when they first toured New Zealand. They seem to come
here a number of times. Someone will be an obsessive
you come through. Let us know. I think their first

(11:06):
physic to nineteen eighty. I'm looking at their history now.
They've got very good web stats because they've got super fans.
So nineteen eighty some of you will have been there.
Nineteen eighty they played November thirtieth Athletic Park, Wellington and
three days later Western Springs nineteen eighty. Then it was

(11:27):
seventeen years before they toured again. Super top Auckland nineteen
ninety seven, two thousand and eight, Rock to Wellington Westpac
Stadium was just the three times, but the one you'd
want to see was Athletic Park nineteen eighty. That's forty
five years ago. You'll be sixty five now, between sixty
sixty five, what was that like? Very good website of

(11:47):
the touring dates, so yes, nineteen eighty. I don't think
they'd really toured much before. They'd been to Belgium in
seventy six, in France and Germany in seventy six. So
do comment on kiss to a major topic site and
social media and anything else, but jump in if there's

(12:10):
other stuff also too, the netwill I'll be giving your
highlights of that. Do you want us to win or lose?
Do we want us to lose because they got rid
of the coach? Is that what people are thinking? It's
kind of human nature to think. I hope it goes
bad without here, isn't it. That's kind of where I'm
leaning to go. I don't know what more to say
about that. I presume they're the favorites. Are they anyway

(12:31):
enough for me? Twenty past eight kitchen A bit a
couple of things about Grab one. A lot of companies
are now coming out and said they are supporting or
honoring the vouchers that have been sold, and that's they're
making a loss on that one. But when you look
at all the businesses have involved with it, one of
them is Action, Ninja World and Matakana, and they're going

(12:51):
to be honoring their vouchers, so good on them. Although
the company itself is worried about because they get a
lot of their customers from grab one, so they're worried
because they're not going to get them money for those people.
They're going to honor, but their businesses comes from grad
one also also or Fungo Adventures said they would impact

(13:11):
his business sixty thousand a year, So it seems they're
doing a hell of a lot of business. So I
can't work out why they would have gone bung Snow
Planet will continue to honor their vouchers, Vivo Here and
Skin would honor their vouchers, Padakai Springs, White Acci Terroces
and Thermal Hot Spring, Spa and Action Ninja World, Auckland

(13:32):
Adventure Park and consused car wash good on them. It's
kind of crazy here we go. It's kind of crazy
that they went broke when they're doing so much business.
Can't work it out, so he might want to mention that,
but they are honoring those things. Oh eight hundred, you
know the rest Hitle twelve twenty eight twelve is the
current rugby score. Half an hour left to go on that.

(13:54):
But do come through if you want to talk about
that or anything else tonight. Social media of course again,
attention chock Alex whitdockers are raising their prices from Monday.
You think shops and supermarkets will wait to Monday? I
doubt it. On the person went to kiss was twelve

(14:18):
Goodness nineteen eighty was very good at Western Springs. Dad
took us all. What a legend. Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Can I just talk for one minute about the life
of a truck driver. You've got quite a large truck
driving audience.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yes, please do, And can.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
I just want to say from the outset what I'm
about to tell you. I'm going to be extremely respectful
about it. I'm not going to step over the line.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Last night I came down to Brendurwins the hills between
funger A and Auckland at three am, and when I
came down, another truck driver coming up the hill said, oh,
by the way, there's.

Speaker 7 (14:57):
Been a praying.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
When I went down the bottom there was about six
fire engines and one amblance and nothing else. And what
was only usual about it as no fire person was
doing traffic control, so there was two trucks parked on
the side that there was nobody in the lane, so
in theory I could have kept driving. So I drive
my truck down and then I see there's debris all

(15:22):
over the road, so really I've got to stop or
I've got to creep through very slowly. But then I
start to realize that it's more than I thought. And
of course it was a double fatality of a car
I think, head on into a logging truck at three
am this morning. So here's me sitting in my track,
start in the lane with my headlights on this whole scene.

(15:45):
And if I had come down there twenty minutes earlier.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
It could have been me head on to that car. Yeah,
and the truck.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
The truck I didn't realize. He's gone completely off the bank,
down the ravine and out of sight. So here's me
stop than the lane looking at a car, but actually
there's also a truck, but you can't see it because
it's down the ravine. Last week I read a stuff
article of a truck driver in now Wrong A, Wellington

(16:20):
seven years ago. He was driving along and some a
male and a female that were on an influence of
drugs and alcohol, went head on into his truck. He
lasted about two months after being involved in that incident,
clearly no fault of his, and then the PTSD started
to kick in and he started to have flashbacks of

(16:41):
cars coming at him. And today he's lost his wife's house, job,
and his The article and his complaint was no mental
health support, and acc wouldn't recognize the claim because I
think he wasn't the victim of a direct impact accident
or something. Sure, now I've got perspective on it. I

(17:05):
didn't cause it. I don't know the people. I wasn't
involved in it. But of the truck drivers that ring
in and talk about the solitary hours of nighttime line
haul and listening to the show and talking in bits
and pieces like you know, please have it in their job.
I have it in their job one minute of your life.

(17:28):
All of a sudden, you're right in the middle of
that scene.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
I don't want to be a.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Depressor, Dave.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
What's your point?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
The reality of core decisions on the road, the how
innocent people can get caught up in horrific impact just
while doing a nine to five job. It's just I

(18:01):
suppose coming out of it that you know you watch
There's been about a dozen a dozen video clips on
stuff of dangerous overtaking.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
I've just got ninety seconds left. Why was the site,
Why was the site not well controlled? Why were the
fireman not stopping traffic?

Speaker 5 (18:20):
That was just a mistake on their part. And I
think I'm going to give some positive feedback on Monday
that even though they volunteer fire crew and they're occupied
with what they're doing, they shouldn't actually forget to content.
In fact, I've never come across an accident seeing where
someone's not taking responsibility for traffic.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
How long have they been there by the time you
got there, about twenty minutes, and they hadn't and they
hadn't Okay, nothing, just nothing, And was it? But someone
in the car had died, and someone in the truck
had died.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (18:53):
No, two in the car had died, and the truck
driver was shaken minor injuries.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
And he was he was down well off the road.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yeah, so he The ambulance had arrived and taken the
truck driver away just as I arrived. So the ambulance
to the U tune and left. The car was crumpled
into a tin can.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, well, yeah, I don't think we need those full
details for respect to the family, but.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
No, no, I get you.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
So I live it there, David, thank you. We're talking
kiss also traffic management, I guess in extents, if you
want to come through eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
He didn't realize that kiss was such a bit. I
can't remember them in nineteen well, can I remember the
concerts in nineteen eighty? Twenty minutes ago? In the Rugby
thirty one twelve? It tigo, I've got this. They've run

(19:39):
away with it. But I tell you what they're probably
puting up. It's been a good game and finally a
good tune out there. I think, well, from one side,
I don't know if it's tell, it'd certainly fill from
one side. They put all the people on one side,
so that looks fuller. I think, Tony, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
He a Marcus, how you made a I was just
listening to a truck on the radio just previously and
he's talking about a fatality. Blah blah blah. I'm gonna
truck it myself. X Fire Service. I actually suffer from
post traumatic stress back in the day from being in
the fire service, and now I'm a truck and still
come across a lot of motor vehicle accidents or car

(20:15):
crashes or whatever you like to call them. But all
I can say is there is a lot of trauma involved,
and there is help, and people can contact me at
any time. I'm happy to talk to them if they're struggling,
especially truckies, because I know it's like they think they're
staunch and tough and don't get help. And I can

(20:38):
leave you my number and I can point them in
the right direction. Made of lived that breathed it, you
name it.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, it's not quite how I work putting numbers in
touch with people off there, not because of it, just
in case. Yeah, that's not how I run at it.
But there must be services, therefore people are there. What
are those services?

Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yes, oh there's plenty of services, But it's getting the
truckies to actually go and get the service that's a problem.
So you know, I can speak their language and I
can point them in the right direction if you know
what I mean. And because you speak, I can speak
truck you, mate, and I can I know what's going

(21:20):
through their brain. And there's still that stigma attached, mate.
So you know a lot of trucks are pretty staunch
and won't uh won't acknowledge their issues. Where you know,
I can talk their lingo as I've lived at the

(21:43):
trauma side of it.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
The message from you is it's beneficial to ask for help.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Right, absolutely absolutely made and this help out there. But
just listen to that last truck you about, uh, you know,
he's talking about road control.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
Mate.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
It's bigger than that. There's all sorts of things going on,
and I just want to say that I can help,
and I'm a survivor and there is help, and uh yeah,
that's it. That's it. It's pretty simple.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Appreciate it, Tony, heartfelt. Thank you. Twenty six to nine.
Jamie Macus Welcome.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
Hey Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Thanks Jamie.

Speaker 10 (22:31):
All I want to say is.

Speaker 11 (22:33):
Like nine times out of ten, when I'm driving from
Utuki to road RUA, trucks aren't doing ninety k that
they're supposed to be doing. Ninety k's they're supposed to
be the speed limit. They're doing one hundred and ten
hundred and twenty. Okay, okay, So I just I just
want to say that, you know, this guy's come on here.

(22:54):
But what happens to people. What happens to people is
they're traveling too fast because they need to get the
effect to somewhere else. They're doing one hundred and ten
hundred and twenty, not ninety they're supposed to be the law.
Ninety k an hour was a trailer remember, and.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
The bosses mightn't care. Other mustn't care. Otherwise that have
them all GPS monitored, wouldn't they?

Speaker 11 (23:13):
Well, they don't because they've got to get there from
They've got to get their.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
Freight to the to the spot. Money they're not doing.

Speaker 11 (23:19):
They're not doing ninety ks and now they're doing one hundred,
ten hundred and twenty because I've actually had one past
me when I was doing one hundred and ten and
that's a truck.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, okay, fair point, Jamie, Thank you, ch appreciate it.
We're talking kiss and trucking twenty five away from nine
thirty one twelve. Do come through if you want to talk,
oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine to
the text. Yes, if you want to be a part

(23:48):
of it, feel free to be involved. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty if you want to be a part
of the show. There's texts coming through. Marcus. I went
to the Kiss concert Athletic Park. I was fourteen. It
was my first concert my friend and I can't remember
too much about I'll sue me sixty one because tro
from drove from Papamoa to Raglan for a funeral. On

(24:10):
the way there and on the way back on the
right of a Comos twenty nine. I was so close
to be involved in serious crash involving a truck that
was not at fault. Small vehicles need to stop their nonsense.
This is interesting text, Marcus. I'm driving to her horizon
at the far north long drive. Curisto wants to be
one of your most memorable calls. Can you tell us

(24:30):
about it and why? Thanks Jess. I went to kiss
in Auckland, Western Springs, early eighties, great concert stage. I
was amazing acoustics and volume. Great. I would have been
my late teams. Then chairs gill one truck out of
how many on the road. That was weird. That guy
went on about it. He said one had passed them.

(24:52):
Someone said any more Megaloo sightings. I don't know if
Megaloo's around anymore. Migaloo is the white whale, the albino whale,
only four in the world. It was off cau Caulda.
No sign of it now. But yeah, I'm big on
Megaaloo too. That's bucketless and I'm not a bucketless guy.
But Megerloo, I'll be into Megalou megalou. Truck drivers think

(25:20):
their kings out there sitting on their big high seats
looking down at everyone driving at one ten. I know
that's referring to the truck, but a backlash against the
truckies tonight. I don't know who's doing one ten, the
truckies or the real drivers. I don't trust my speed.
I know that's a crazy thing to say, but I
don't trust my speeder. I'm I don't know what speed
I'm going and what's CHESSI control? That started fleshing up.
It's nothing I've asked for, as I just pushed the

(25:42):
wrong buttons. Anyway, be in touch or by the way,
tell you we can you got grab one vouchers. They
might honor them. I've got on you, mister David. I wait,
so your surname, commiserations to you and all of that. Wow,
But do come through if you want to talk anything.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
By the way, I got a an NZTA update from
our man there at the NZEDTA State Hiroway three north
of New Plymouth is now open. Drive to the conditions. Well,
that took a long time. Forty three point four and
thirty one are also now open. Drive the conditions they

(26:24):
change reduce your speed. Someone also looking for a Smauger's
board for a wedding in November in Dunedin. They want
vegetarian options. Brilliant, that's what we want. Although it does
say that it's auto correct. Is brought it to somages board.
Pretty interesting spelling. Hold your horse a sharky with your
sewing twenty one to nine, trucky night thirty eight twelve

(26:48):
now on the Rugby Totago not long left for that
fifteen minutes or about that they're thirteen. Actually sharky. This
is Marcus.

Speaker 13 (26:54):
Welcome Ja Marcus.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
It was a bit annoyed with that guy actually sort
of twering every truck driver as being an idiot. As
you know, I've been driving for a long time, you know,
as a professional truck driver, and I even think your
videos showing you people coming towards my truck on the
wrong side of the road, you know, So to tar

(27:22):
every truck driver as if we are all all speedsters,
there's a little bit out of the box.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Although although shaky think about I spent a lot of
time on the Bluff Road right, a lot of trucks
on the Bluff Road because I've got a port down
there probably had no four or five hundred trucks a day.
And when you're on to ride a lot, you know,
because I'm always doing one hundred because I'm on auto control.
All the trucks are doing one hundred on that road.
The only gret supposed to go ninety is that, right,
So I.

Speaker 13 (27:50):
Would suggest then if you have a truck doing I
don't ninety.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
Over.

Speaker 13 (27:56):
Yeah, but other people do. Obviously that guy did.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
But but I think most I don't think. I think
most people just thought trucks could go a hundred.

Speaker 13 (28:04):
No, no, no, no. Legally we are only allowed to
go ninety K. So all of the trucks that I
drive have driver buddy systems in them. So you cannot
go over one hundred.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
You can't.

Speaker 13 (28:18):
You just can't, like any of both beginning.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
You can't You mean you can't go over ninety, Well.

Speaker 13 (28:25):
The maximum you'll get to is around about ninety four
ninety five. And we're being watched the whole time. It's like,
you know, we're monitored, and we've got a screen on
our on our driver's pillar on the driver's side that
has a that tells us exactly how fast we're going.

(28:46):
And if we go over, it sets off an alarm
and that gets recorded. You know that that goes back
to the people who run the company. I would suggest
that if you've got a truck that's doing over ninety
five kilometers an hour, you need to be getting that
registration number and reporting it because then the Ministry Transport can.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Go and I could be bothered with that.

Speaker 13 (29:10):
Well, no, you couldn't be bothered with that, Marcus. But
at the end of the day, you've got that guy
ringing up and he sounded pretty pissed, you know.

Speaker 14 (29:17):
But.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Arthur, it is pretty calm. But then it came down
just one truck overtook him at one ten.

Speaker 13 (29:25):
Yeah, and and tracks shouldn't be doing that, you know.
So you've got to report that.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Stuff because why is the limit for trucks less because
of the weight, because because of the damage to the road,
or because of the impact.

Speaker 13 (29:40):
Well the damage to the road, the impact there. You know,
you hit you hit a fifty ton vehicle at ninety
kilometers an hour. Are you going to do yourself some damage?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (29:51):
I'm off to Australia by the way, I'm going over
to the mines going work.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Where are you going?

Speaker 13 (29:57):
I fly out on Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
So you're still working our sharkis as your last shift.

Speaker 13 (30:02):
Yeah, I just finished today. I started at five point
thirty this morning and I finished it seven thirty.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
So that's if you're finished for today.

Speaker 13 (30:11):
Yeah, and then I fly over to Australia on Monday
to go and do all the everything that's got to
be done for me to start doing what I've got
to do.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
There, you're in the mines, are you.

Speaker 13 (30:22):
I'll be in port Headling, which is up and upper
Western Australia driving quad trailers like a tractor unit, a
kin with truck with a quad trailer doing the iron ore.
So there's four trailers behind the truck were side tipper action.

(30:43):
So the iron will at the at port Headland at
the wharf.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
But do you get do you get a uniform?

Speaker 14 (30:55):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (30:55):
Everything's provided. It's like they fly you in, fly you out.
Your food's provided, your accommodation is provided. So you go
there for eight weeks. You're eight weeks, then they fly
you back to you know, well, they'll flow me back
to Auckland Airport and then you have four weeks off
and then you go back and do it again.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Oh it's exciting.

Speaker 13 (31:17):
Oh, good money, good money, good money, Marcus. But you
know it's a long time away from my wife and
my kids and the orchard and family.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
How long How long is a drive you're doing but
to for port headland of the mine.

Speaker 13 (31:32):
It's around about three and a half hours far.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Say you're there and back once a day or twice
a day.

Speaker 13 (31:39):
Oh, three times a day?

Speaker 8 (31:40):
You doing it?

Speaker 13 (31:41):
You're doing seven up to seventeen hours a day because
you can have a over the you can have a
certificate to allow you to drive up to seventeen now really, yeah,
and what speed?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
What speed limit you're on there? Is it ninety k?

Speaker 13 (31:58):
It's ninety but generally those trucks will only you're pulling
so much weight, you're only on eighty k eighty kilometers
an hours.

Speaker 15 (32:05):
Basically good luck.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Of course, when you get back shack you go. Well,
nice to talk to you. Fourteen to nine. Several texts
have come through which are interesting, saying the limits should
be lifted to one hundred. That's that's why there are accidents.
Please discuss Modern trucks have improved their breaking and the
handling so much their speed limit should be one hundred
climeters per hour. Otherwise they'll forever have cars trying to

(32:28):
pass trucks risk all our lives. Ban the ninety k
speed limit. That's from Chris. Another text or says, the
reason why there's so many crashes involving cars passing trucks
is because trucks aren't able to the speed them. And
let them to one hundred k is there'll be a
lot less. That's from Sam. The text from Sam is

(32:48):
a text from Chris, both from the same numbers. Be
passing the phone around and the cab of the truck.
We need greater flexibility on our roads. Fewer trucks would
be beneficial. We could utilize rail freight and steered and
enabling us to travel in a decent speed. We got
the risk of been pulled onto the side of a
truck wheel. Is it too early to say CS? Coastal shipping. Oh,

(33:15):
there'd be a fine thing, wouldn't it. Boxes and ships
going around the country dropping things off, picking things up.
Thirty eight seventeen the rugby five minutes left. If you
want to talk on here, it's all about truck drivers tonight,
as it should be. Have you got other stuff? Good?

(33:38):
I can handle that better? What it is yet? Seven
from nine A Rod. It's Marcus. Welcome, Michaels.

Speaker 16 (33:46):
Help you.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Good thing Ford.

Speaker 17 (33:49):
Look, I want a report to you. Isaac past the
driver's test.

Speaker 8 (33:56):
Okay.

Speaker 17 (33:56):
Restricted. Remember we're talking a couple of months ago regards
we're going to put a learner sign on a car.
I bet a lot of people in very aggressive which
lets the sign on it?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yes, yes, yes, Now he passed that in test.

Speaker 17 (34:13):
Now he's restricted. Right now, I put it up there
on his car. I have a dish can the instructors
the testers asked Kinta to the rock, and I think
for insurance purpose, honestly, honestly, they asked Kimta to the rock.
Says then I don't want you to test with the
camera on, and then yeah, I'm plug at them to

(34:36):
the rock. But I said it's for insurance purpose. I
want to be on now. I'm not sure if or
not for them to do that, but it's what's up
with him?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Was the camera putting out woods and woods?

Speaker 17 (34:50):
Uh, we can choose, and I was outwards, not inwards,
and was not sound recording, just just a video for outside.
I thought that you can record inside car without consent
and no sound recording, but just a video from outside
but not this is now I don't want it, and

(35:10):
he put it off and you know, no stress for him.
But I says, I'm curious of that. Now regards to
truck driver.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I don't have a ra do yes, I don't have
a problem with that. I think that's fair enough. That
would be my that's my impression with that one.

Speaker 17 (35:26):
Oh look, I think it's his rights to have the
camera on, you know, And I don't think test the
officer can ask you to.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Do to the road, well, clearly did did your sound passed?
He did? Is he saying he passed?

Speaker 17 (35:40):
He passed, he passed, No problem, no problem for that.
But they says, I look on online and they says,
you can't use that one against them, And you know
it's fair enough. But what I'm saying, it's for insurance
purposes and tests. The reason why I put it on
the car. You know, I have it on all my cars.

Speaker 18 (35:57):
I have a dish camera installace pecky battles.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Okay, yep. What's the other thing you want to say
about trucks?

Speaker 14 (36:03):
Now?

Speaker 17 (36:03):
On the truck, what I find on the road, it's
a long truck. They overspeed because they don't have a
speed limited and also they don't have a control. I
think some of them on how far they go, you know,
But I have the friends we should drive the a

(36:23):
big trucks like the Many Faith and all these they
all all monitors. How the other guy says, they says
most of them they are monitors with their speed monitors.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Okay, well good the big So about your son? Thanks, Rad?
Do there we go five away from nine text if
you've got them. Also talk about Kessal Athletic Park, marvelous
home markers, cooled Stuarts and then important Melbourne were reduced
truck movement throughout the South of about ten thousand per year.
That's only thirty trucks a day. That that's not that many.

(36:56):
I understand fires have been instructed not to traffic control
it crashes, unsafe placed job anyway makes sense. Otago's one
forty one seventeen was close at halftime and they had
one in the bin. But they've run away with that.
They look happy, good crowd. Since the nineties. The NPC,
if we still call it that, not the needed, but

(37:16):
the NPC is what I'm alluding to. Yep, come on
back after the news if you do want to talk
here Tel twelve. Welcome and good evening. My name is Marcus.
We're talking about trucks and truck drivers and truck drivers
behavior and truck drivers speed, and that's good. It's been
the good discussion. So you want to partake in that.
There's been people out there tonight that are driving and

(37:38):
they will be driving north from your Plymouth too, because
the roads have open after three days. Man, oh man,
are we in for some floods more and more severe
every time. I've never seen that road or yeah, yeah,
I'm surprised how long that road was closed for. They're

(37:59):
do get in touch if you on to talk. But
they were also about the about kiss. They've touredes in
the three times toured. In nineteen eighty they've played just
the North Island. They just played Western Springs and Athletic Park.
What Athletic Park is now it's just a reserve, is it.
Then they came back in ninety seven, played Mount Smart
the Big Top, and then in two thousand and nine

(38:21):
or something they played a metal festival at Wellington. That's
the three times they have been. You will have been
to them for some of you. Let me know what
it was like at Western Springs Athletic Park would like
to know about that. There was certainly a band that
got the press, and I kind of remember in some
ways them touring. I think now thinking back of it,

(38:43):
it did seem to be a big deal at the time.
A nine past nine to nine oh nine. You, Doug,
this as Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 7 (38:51):
Oho you talk you mean Marcus?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Is it, Doug?

Speaker 7 (38:54):
Yes, yes, Joy, It's a little bit off what you
were talking about. But I've got the sort of brain
that when something happens on the telly or on radio
or whatever, I tend to think of the worst possible comes.
And I hear that the police have now been called
in because of course the electoral authority didn't have any
any authority.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
What are we talking What are we talking about, Doug.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
Talking about the Kuiper election. I don't know what you
call it. Some there will need to be irregularities in
the in the way that the result was. They got
to the result, and they were going to call on
the electoral some electoral authority I can't remember the name
of them, but you can't adjudicate on your own stuff.

(39:38):
And so they eventually had to go to the police
and it has apparently gone to the police, which means
probably and I'm not you know, it depends on how
the police handle it, but probably they'll go to a judge.
And as I say, I've got the sort of mind
that tends to think of the worst possible outcome. If
you imagine a judge deciding that the actions were a

(40:00):
regular I would guess that a lot of the actions
that they talk don't sound terribly legal to me. The
son of a dicey, that's their reason.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
All the news, we just had the returning officer say
that it's all legit and was straight.

Speaker 7 (40:16):
Oh, some people say that it's straight, but not some people.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
That was the returning officer right, and I heard in
the usual days.

Speaker 7 (40:24):
But the returning officer, the returning officer hasn't got a
new authority over it once the complaint's been made and
it's now been handed on to the police, so it's
now out of their hands. Otherwise, what I'm gonna say
next doesn't matter at all. So if the policeman decides
not to accept it, or the Justice department doesn't accept it,

(40:46):
then it'll stop there. But if it carries on, I mean,
most of these things are run the same way, by
the same sort of people doing the same sorts of things.
And if what happened, which sounds a little bit dicey
but not terrible, was a regular it means they'll have
to do the particular election again. It'll have to be canceled.

(41:10):
And I was just thinking of the worst possible outcome
would be that if the judge made such a decision,
it becomes a precedent and we might be confronted with
having to do the whole thing all over again, which.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I thought the results now have been ratified.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
Oh yes, yes, yes, no, no, the result has it
had to be called. They couldn't the mister Jepson, I
think it was the previous mayor didn't want them to.
He wanted to delay the decision.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
But you can't do that.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
That's that's the law. The law says you've got to
declare it by a certain time once it's finished, whether
it's fair or not. But what I'm saying is that
the worst possible thing that could happen would be that
it's handed to a judge who's who's one of these sticklers,
if you like, for the law, which some judges are

(42:05):
doing their job, And if he makes the decision that
it was a regular I don't think it will be
an unusual practice. I think it will be something that's
probably been happening all over the place, which means that
if he sets a precedent by saying that the election
has to be redone, we might have to do the
whole thing again.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Yeah, Okay, it's his counsel complaint. It's his counsels in
a complaint with the Partners Affairs following the meeting, and
they'll follow the process through with whatever the department have
got to do with that now. But didn't they get
what they want? Didn't they get Didn't they get the
guy that they wanted? Anyway?

Speaker 14 (42:42):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (42:42):
I think I think, you know, I mean, I think
it's all a storm and a teacup myself.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
But he got the success. And I think they'll just
worry that one guy did really well. They didn't expect.
They wanted to time and cut him down, didn't they.
Isn't that the way? Well, it looks like even though
they won, even though they won and got their guy,
and they looked mean spirited about the way they did it.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
I think I think the whole thing is a storm
on a teacup. I really do. I mean, when you
get three guys sut of that clock, if you if
you're pulling some trick or something, you didn't do it
very well, did you. I mean, whoever won in the end,
he won by teen or four.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, I was twenty one. I think it's just been
announced today. It was just the last hour, by.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
Twenty one, and you've cheated. It could have been a
terribly good cheat. So I'm hoping that whoever goes to
the police force, because the policemen are pretty little headed,
but they'll they'll see the sort of possibilities that I'm
talking about and not not carried on unless they has to.
But once if it goes to a judge, then a

(43:41):
judge it's got he's got, he's the law and it
could become quite messy.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
But my understanding, I mean, it was the guy who
was the guy was existing, the unpopular existing mayor.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
He endorsed his deputy, right, but he's still weird, still
to complain even though the depity has won. It just
seems weird.

Speaker 14 (44:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
Well, I do think that people do get I mean,
people take these things. Although although the whole the country
as a whole doesn't seem to have taken this thing
seriously at all. The people who are actually involved take
it terribly seriously, because I've had experience with a few
of them, and they get terribly upset if you think
that they're not serious about it. And I think that's

(44:29):
probably what's happened. It's just a case of you know,
splustering on the moment because they had all these irregular
meetings and so forth, which itself was a bit And I.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Think if you go for a recount, you've got to
pay yourself for the recount. I think that's the way
it works.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
Well, it does with the big elections.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Does I think it does with local I think was
a guy in Gore last time that the contestant, the
young guy that one had to pay himself for it.

Speaker 7 (44:56):
God lord, do you think that would stop people doing that,
wouldn't you?

Speaker 18 (44:58):
Really?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
It's probably I think that's the whole idea.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Yeah, But you know, I don't know. I don't know.
I just just the way my brain works. Such time
to think and now, what's the worst thing that could
possibly hit and during the whole thing all over again
would probably be the worst possible thing.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Well, the guy that lost would probably win. But the
guy that would what loss would probably win. I would
think of that. That's probably what the guy that done
that lost, that will probably work in his favor, I
would think, because the kind of the winners have sort
of behave with such little dignity.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
Yeah, oh no, theer that people have to vote again,
they won't like it. They didn't want to vote the
first time. The second time they might. They might vote
everyone else.

Speaker 15 (45:39):
Hope.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
So, Doug, thanks to a sixteen past nine, we are
talking trucks and kiss. That's two of the topics for tonight. Marcus.
I'm glad to hear you still on the wallace. Do
you still laugh all the way to the bank to
collect your massive zb's salary. Who would know some of
his talk about catastrophizing? Maybe in the hobby broadcaster. Get

(46:02):
in touch if you want to talk. Sixteen past nine,
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty and nineteen nine to
detext good win, good victory, good victory. For Otago, Marcus
Kiss played an Auckland Victor arena, which it was at
the time twenty fifteen. Kin'd of been the official kiscause
it's not on their website. Top five Kiss songs for

(46:23):
me and know what a hotter than hell Stuta Struta,
God gave rock and roll to you, rock and roll
all night in Detroit Rock City. Did they reform because
they're not on the official website of touring and playing
in the Auckland's vector for what I could see, it
does say from their website Kiss concert History. It just
says nineteen eighteen, ninety ninety seven, two thousand and eight.

(46:47):
I guess there's a lot of tribute bands out there.
A seventeen past done looking for to your calls lines
all three nineteen minutes past nine o'clock. Period of heavy rain,
impossible severe northwest gales for parts of the South Island.
I know that the kid's softball's been canceled for tomorrow,
which is a don't know why. There's probably strong wins.

(47:10):
They normally get it right though, so I won't kind
of go on about too much about that. It's a
sleeping for me. Nepple's about to start. Otaga have won
the rugby. We're also talking about Kiss the band. It
does look as though they played it Victor. I'm not

(47:32):
sure that that's on their lists. Also talking about trucks
and truck driver behavior and the speed of trucks and
the fact that they go nineteen how many do and
whether in fact they should be changed. They can go
faster than that. That might be something. By the way,
this is interesting. Reader's Digest has discontinued the New Zealand

(47:57):
print edition. Wow. I haven't seen a Reader's Digest since forever.
And even when they were a thing, they weren't a
very good thing.

Speaker 18 (48:10):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (48:10):
What was in the Readers They were terrible, weren't they.
You came across from Doctor Sugis. I can't for the
life and we remember what articles were in the Reader's died.
It were just all sort of kind of lowbrow, was it.
I don't want to sound like a snob or anything,
but they never really hit that. What was in the
Reader's Digest, I've got no recall anyway. It's gone an

(48:32):
American general interest family magazine. You might have some memories
of the Reader's Digist. You might have been a regular subscriber.
Some people were. Since its inception, Reader's Digists has maintained
a conservative and anti communist perspective on political and social issues.
It was it was kind of propaganda, I think, yeah,

(48:54):
although I'd always had increase your word power, which was
always good, light hearted, kind of frothy stories from America.
I think would sum it up, wouldn't they anyho twenty
one past nine, Patrick, This is Marcus.

Speaker 18 (49:08):
Welcome Marcus. How are you mate?

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Good?

Speaker 6 (49:11):
Patrick?

Speaker 18 (49:12):
Yeah, I was at the Kiss concert in December nineteen.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Eighty well at West.

Speaker 18 (49:18):
Spring and it was I remember right, it was a
Wednesday night and I think again from memory, but they're
getting a bit hazy about twenty five thousand people there.
And yeah, they played all the classics, you know, Detroit,
Rock City, Love Gun, got a Thunder, all that sort
of stuff, and the stage show was something I'd never
seen before.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, and it's smoke and dry ice and it was
kind of pretty over the top operatic.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Is that how it was?

Speaker 18 (49:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, very very much.

Speaker 14 (49:46):
So.

Speaker 18 (49:46):
I think that was described them as a as a
glam bend. It was glam so, you know, all the
costumes and the makeup and all that sort of stuff,
but you know it was it was pretty original at
the time sort of thing, and you know, it was
just a great concert. The crowd I really got into it. Yeah,
it's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Petrick got some questions to ask you about what it
was like to follow Kiss at the time. Was it
something that were people serious about being into Kiss or
was it sort of dne tongue in cheek.

Speaker 18 (50:15):
Well, you did this issue a really really good Christian
I was. I was in Salandra, a massively Zippelin fane.
To me, the greatest rock band of all time. So
to me, that's the benchmark of music. So it was
probably in some ways. I wouldn't call myself a definitely
wouldn't call myself a die hard Kiss fan. It was
just it was it was just something different. It was right,

(50:38):
it was rock music was what I was into. But
as I say, Zipplin was the benchmark. But yeah, hey,
it was still a great concert. But I had friends
that were die hard Kiss fans and they laughed at
me for being a Zipplin fan. But that's just the
way it was.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, did you see Zipplin and seventy three A Wistern
Springs seventy two?

Speaker 18 (50:58):
No, I was too young, and that's just that's as
I say.

Speaker 8 (51:03):
I was.

Speaker 18 (51:03):
I was only nine, I think at the time, So
I should have gone. I don't think my dad would
have let me.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Yeah, but what would have been.

Speaker 18 (51:14):
Oh, well, it was apparently I heard. I heard stories
that it was so loud, that it was louder than
the JiTT line of flying overhead. And I did know
people that winter and they said it was amazing now
but just as the side markers and just on something zip.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
But I was.

Speaker 18 (51:32):
I was at work a couple of days after the
Kiss concert and I got a phone call it worked,
from a maide of my Martin and he said, you
better sit down. I've got some bad news for you.
Leed Zipplin have broken up because Bonham had died about
three months earlier. And yes, so to me, that was
absolutely devastating.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Yeah, I don't know what to say about the whole
I don't know what to say about the whole breaking
up of Leed Zipplin. I mean, I know they came
back and played a concert about ten years ago, but.

Speaker 18 (51:59):
I think, yeah, that's two thousand and seven.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Yeah, you could look back and say you think it
was for the best Knja.

Speaker 18 (52:05):
Well, I don't know. To a die hard fan, no,
I wanted them to keep going.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Sort of thing would be like the Rolling Stones, that
sort of Mick Jagger dancing at eighty two. I think
it's not dig I mean, it's still got dignity. It's
still got dignity that the lead say, you know, he's
gone to his own thing. I think he does that
very well.

Speaker 18 (52:23):
I'm happy for him, Yes, yes, but when they're reunited
for that one off concertant in two thousand and seven, Yeah,
there was. It was in the Oto Arena in London.
Was twenty thousand people and twenty million people applied for ticket,
so that was that was still relevant. I tried to
get tickets myself, my wife that year. We missed out,
you know, but twenty thousand people were lucky enough to

(52:45):
see them, and I've got that. I've got that on CD,
I've got that on DVD. And I'll tell you what,
they were amazing. Anyone that was lucky to be there
was just great.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
I thought that that movie from last year was very good.

Speaker 18 (52:59):
Oh yes, at the beginning of this year year, I
had my nine.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Year old with me and it was late, so we
left it sort of halfway through. G I thought that
was good. I thought that was a fantastic film.

Speaker 18 (53:12):
It was and I'd like to think I know a
lot about Zeppelin, but there was even a couple little
nuggets in there. I said, oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that was with a couple of friends,
and we're looking at each other afterwards sort of things, saying,
I didn't know that, but I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
But but you know it was fantasticated as they must
have searched so high and low for all that video
footage of them before they were in zept. It was
amazing some of that footage.

Speaker 18 (53:32):
Oh you will see. Jimmy Page was a was a
sort of like an icon before Zippelin, before zippral form,
because he was doing all that session work and just
about every song in Britain back in the sixties. You know,
he was there with Joe Cocker and Donovan, all those guys.
He was playing guitar, so John Paul Jones was the same.
He was doing a lot of session work as well.

(53:53):
And you know they got hold of Plants and Bonham
and the rest. They say, it's history.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah, I thought it was great. I must go and
watch the end of it. Patrick, nice to talk to you.

Speaker 7 (54:01):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Twenty six past nine, Mark, This is Marcus. Welcome, good evening, Marcus,
how are you good things? Mark?

Speaker 15 (54:09):
The first concert I ever went to was kiss Wow,
And if I remember rightly, I think I would have
been thirteen, maybe fourteen. We all dressed up and they
took a picture of us and we're in the front
page of the Daily Post and we caught the bus up.

Speaker 16 (54:30):
Marc.

Speaker 15 (54:31):
Yeah, that's one year at Western Springs. Kind of enjoyed it.
I did a bit of a sneaky thing, pitched a
bit of my dad brandy and a little bit of
beer and so by the time I got to the concert,
I wasn't really well, but we managed to go in
and I come right once. They come on stage and unreal.

(54:53):
Absolutely one of the as I said, my first content ever.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Make a great movie. The bus I looked at were
you all in makeup?

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (55:03):
Yeah, yeah, we were here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
So it was a special There was a spec You're kissed.
Had a radio station or a record shop put it on?

Speaker 15 (55:10):
No, no, no, it might have been through a radio
station year the original radio station if I remember, but
I don't think. I can't remember markets, but I don't
think anybody else. Some of us had their makeup and
that on just you, but it was just there, oh
for mates, four mates.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
So okay, so you all got dressed up all four
of you.

Speaker 15 (55:33):
Yeah, well makeup, makeup and all that year.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Yeah, fantastic.

Speaker 15 (55:37):
As I said, we're in the front page of the
Daily Paste in what.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
A shame you got to shave you DrAk the lick
of beforehand got sick. But anyway, you came right.

Speaker 15 (55:44):
Ah yeah, yeah. As soon as they come on stage,
it was just like one big pyrotechnic boom. It was
fireworks and stage shows, absolutely and we managed to get
right up the front kind of thing. And as a
seating fourteen year old boy, it was absolutely fair and
tested watching having Gene Simmons with those highest letters of
his and dripping blood everywhere was playing.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
That big How do you know how do you know
where the bus was to go back to?

Speaker 16 (56:11):
Uh?

Speaker 15 (56:12):
They parked up for us.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Okay, and do you remember anything of the bus? Do
you remember the thing of the bus trip bag?

Speaker 15 (56:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, we made your slept, but we're that
excited about the whole thing. It was unreal and Mum
and Dad picked us up at yea, it would have
been the radio station on the old busted phone, but
Ace freely sitting there pulling his cords and throwing off
skyrockets under the sky I'm watching and this was the
original Peter Criss, so it was the original band. Yeah,

(56:41):
he's he's the drummer's the cat.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Because you must have been mind you must have been
mind blowing it, you know, as a thirteen year old
to the bitter see that many people to at Wistern
Springs must have been amazing.

Speaker 15 (56:51):
I've been. I've been to lots of concerts of Wiston Springs.
I seeing Neil Young, they seeing.

Speaker 7 (56:58):
That, that was yeah, that was.

Speaker 15 (57:00):
Since growing up, but as from my first experience for
all of us as kids, to guarant see something like
kiss absolutely just the stage show.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Just help me nice to talk, Mark, Thanks so much.
That's kind for that story a lot. That a lot,
thanks Tina. Good to hear from your twenty nine away
from ten. I can tell you too. The netbules just
done of people, the using a woman seeing the anthem
beautifully good to see sports people singing along the AUSI
anthem's on now too, about to kick off too. So
if you want to watch that, don't. I'm not I'm

(57:30):
not what's the word I'm looking for. I'm not tied
to any one medium. If you want to go and
watch the netball doesn't mind. I don't mind. I'll be
watching it. We're doing my job as well. But anyway,
it's the Constellation Cup named after a road Constellation Drive.
Is it anyway that os Anthem will turn that off?

(57:52):
Matt Marcus? Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 19 (57:55):
I almost I don't want to break up the kiss,
but I'm just going to ring about. That's what I'm
doing right now.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I can hear you indicating there's something.

Speaker 19 (58:06):
Yeah, you know, I've sort of been PARMI now I'm
not far from knocking off actually, but what was it
about the speed limit? Should it be increased or something?

Speaker 2 (58:16):
That's what people were saying. People said they were talking
about a bad truck cressure on the Brindowins, and then
people talk about truck drivers. And then some people say,
well a lot of the extents, but because cars are
forced to overtake tracks because they drive so slowly.

Speaker 19 (58:32):
True, Yeah, there was another crash down White can I
a couple of days ago to with the train hit
the camera the truck that was pretty sure he couldn't
back out in time. But yeah, there's a lot of
speculation over cresses. But I think maybe on the expressways

(58:54):
when there's not so much corners and more than one lane.
We could maybe go up to a hundreds, but I
think there's so many sectors like center of gravity and
camber and wind and bloats loads, and you know quite
often loads or shift as the corner too fast or

(59:15):
you know, there's so many things that you're going to
be really smooth.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Do you think man has anything to do with that?
With the efficiency of the trucks that are they more
fuel efficient at ninety I presume they probably are, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (59:27):
Because they sit on the right revs for that, signed
to sit on for that, and you're just pushing more
air out of the way. But they can't go faster.
And I'm sure that if everyone agreed that just tweak.

Speaker 16 (59:44):
It a bit.

Speaker 19 (59:45):
But ye know, I was just going to say something
else about loads shifting. When I was a young feller,
when we first allow us going being show on the
run and we were doing frozen pellets and the other
guy was driving and we went around the corner and
we take it out won't pellet so there there's nothing

(01:00:06):
next to it, and the thing slid across the deck
because it was icy, and we almost rolled over doing
about twenty k's. So just you know any speed you
can come undone. That sort of those trying to think
of good examples where you don't have to be doing
one hundred to But yeah, I agree. A lot of
the cars are impatient and it's like, oh, there's a

(01:00:29):
truck we've got to get past. But then they sit
in front of you holding you up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Yeah that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Over that, You're the end of your day. Too nice
to talk to you. Hold your horse is full with
you soon by the way to Nila stood over you
and that's not a surprise. Catch you soon. Twenty four
to ten we are talking Kiss Phillips, Marcus good evening, well, Michael.

Speaker 8 (01:00:52):
I went to my first concert was ninety seven Bowie.
It was brilliant, I think. But I went to kiss
and jump the fence as you did when you were nineteen,
ran down the ran down the with security guards. After

(01:01:13):
about five of us got away, got away with it.
But at the end of the concert I suffered a
Glasgow cross. I lost my front tooth.

Speaker 15 (01:01:22):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
Yeah, someone some group of guys had a block of
block of timber four two went through the window and
specially front tooth, which I kept, and then later on
I lost them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Were in a car how did that unfold?

Speaker 8 (01:01:45):
Oh yeah, young Americans were like backed in Okay, this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Is nineteen eighty because you didn't say your first concert
was Bowie, but actually your first concert was Kiss. Yeah, yeah, okay,
we into Yeah, that makes more sense. We're into kiss
Or do they seem to be a bit comical or
were people like I just got I can't kind of

(01:02:09):
work out what.

Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
They were, but comical for me to me, but a
sing in a band and used to sing. I was
made for loving.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Song, great, brilliant. But you see what I don't understand
because it's probably slightly before my time. The Kiss weren't
not really the Kiss weren't part of a move because
because the nineties, sorry, the late seventies early eighties was
was a time of really serious American rock. Was it,

(01:02:42):
like bands like Sticks and things like that. I got
that right.

Speaker 8 (01:02:44):
So so they were sort of battling after the disco
sort of praise of the late seventies I think, you know, yeah, okay,
and still early eighties and they were still a pretty
good rock band.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
You know, well they sort of had very good they
had very catchy I mean, I guess that we call
it pop because but very catchy and the musician, I
imagine was fairly good. Yes, yeah, okay o, good on
your mate, nice to talk well, Thanks very much for that.
There we go the old Glasgow Kiss twenty one away
from ten six four New Zealand over Australia. You just

(01:03:19):
get one point per basket. I'm used to watching basketball
so often it worries me. They called the diamonds. I
don't like that. Are they normally the Jeleruse or something
like the marsupials or the platypuses where they're gone with
the diamonds? We had to be named after an animal?

(01:03:40):
Whoever thought orange and green went well together?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Goodness talking kiss and trucks number ending in seven five eight.
Your text makes no sense. Get spell check, Marcus, that's
been about ten years. Drive to Parmeston North for six
days and six nights. Alternately, for Lynn Fox, could you

(01:04:05):
please play a song from my trucky mates the old Home,
pick them up and keep on tracking cafe. I won't
be playing music, Marcus. What is the name of the
z led Zeppelin movie? Thank You Mike? Twenty fifteen. Kiss
played in Auckland on October sixteen, twenty fifteen, during their
fortieth Anniversary World Tour. I was it was awesome Ben

(01:04:26):
a fan since I was three. Yes, but it's not
on their website. That's what I can't work out. But
if you want to talk on air twenty to ten
as anyone, if as anyone played any Kiss on the
radio today on the daytime shows, because I'm not quite
sure we're going to play an kiss or not tonight.

(01:04:46):
If you ever was going to play it would be tonight.
I'm just undecided. Five six New Zealand. They didn't make
much sense that five six New Zealand on six. I
think this is in Australia, I guess so. By the way,
the Breakers double the NBA wind Telly with the victory

(01:05:10):
of the Tasmanian jack Jumpers. It was a spark eighty
two sixty five, ninety to ten. Cliff, this is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:05:25):
Their agreeing Markeycliff there, yep, yeah, yeah. I haven't ever
seen Kris, but I've always followed them. Nineteen seventy three,
they got together, they Jeeves Simmons and Paul Sadly, they
got this band together and they got freely Peter Criss,

(01:05:46):
who was the Little tiger Man at the back of
the drums. First couple of years they put out a
few Alberts, but they didn't know any good. They played
and played together in concerts, but never really had any
major hits. But they embarrassed a lot of the bands
that they played in front. A lot of them didn't
like them about in Front before because gets such a

(01:06:08):
good dance. But then they made They decided to put
out a live album which was one of the first
double live albums ever produced, called Kiss Lives, and it's
the case when I think it ended up double platinum.
Was amazing album, and suddenly they become the biggest thing.
Everybody started painting themselves up and the toys and you know,

(01:06:30):
there was just just everything was about Kiss. There the
biggest group in America from late nineteen seventy six onwards.
And uh, yeah, but they've been gone for such a
long time. Yeah, they took their paint off. They had
brought it in an album on March and took the
look and thought they were still a peace looking group.

(01:06:52):
Was the mass off as well. But you know, they've
been around a long time, these guys that been pumping
out music for the forty five years to say, and
you know I take it away. Yeah, they're just just
the great great they gave it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
What was the reason for their unlikely success with the
breakthrough double live album. Was it just very good or
what was it?

Speaker 20 (01:07:14):
I just think it was stuppening. There are a lot
of people had ever really listened to them, you know,
the ones that went to a concept you know it
might have seen it. Suddenly it was just band got
out a double album live and it just became a
real an anthem album. People get study picked it up
and they just kept violent. One of the biggest albums

(01:07:37):
in nineteen seventy three.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Yeah, okay, and.

Speaker 20 (01:07:39):
They just took off from there.

Speaker 14 (01:07:41):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:07:41):
It wasn't like Hotel California the same year and it's
come with another huge album and saying with old Peter Frempton,
Peter Franklin's right album, Yeah there was there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Was seventy There was seventy five. So maybe the recording
maybe the recording technology changed, and Sully the live album
could be because I can't think of any live albums
before that, can you?

Speaker 14 (01:08:10):
Uh?

Speaker 20 (01:08:10):
You know what he said, an old album lives and
looks okay. The quality you never had quite the feeling
that you're at the concept that they they came later on,
Preson's album was amazing. Just before that, he was he
hadn't sold much either.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
That still sounds good. I still listened to it still
sounds goody good old. So you reckon, you reckon. They're
just practicing so long, getting tight and really working out
to do a crowd and then the live album just
captured all of that. It was a moment in time,
you know, and it.

Speaker 20 (01:08:43):
Captured all the energy that there's a lot of people
they never saw of playing live. They wouldn't know the
feeling of the band was until they got their lives down.

Speaker 19 (01:08:55):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:08:55):
Some some bands are good life and some aren't. But
some of those groups can put it out there as
life and they could do just as good a job.
And some of them sounded place even with their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
I don't quite ever, it's a shame you didn't. It
couldn't have the DVD of those live concerts day because
I don't know if would had been filmed. Was there
any footage of it that one or it was a
it was a It was an amalgam of different contents.
I think would that be right?

Speaker 20 (01:09:25):
When he si he kiss Alive? It couldn't. It might
have been taken off different ones. The team that i'dpose
on how they sound, they would have brought them all together. Yeah,
you know, like the times and of certain concent they
did got the better one. But yeah, music of the

(01:09:47):
seventies was amazing. I would say it was a bit
older sometimes that I could have seen more from those days. Yeah,
two years area would have been would have been good.
Been out there Rocken and he couldn't say nineteen sixty eight,
sixty nine Alors Cliff Slippert certain pep one and you
be careful and hands like that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Cliff, do you still listen to Kisser in hindsight? Does
it now seem a little bit infantile?

Speaker 7 (01:10:15):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:10:15):
I listen to.

Speaker 8 (01:10:19):
The song I like.

Speaker 20 (01:10:20):
It is called sure Knowing and ye's done by another
group of A great version of it comes on if
you go on the YouTube. You can find it here.
So they're a next set of group of abouts a
pretty good version. But you can't you sing away there
and you can find such good quality music, but you know,

(01:10:40):
it's like see you two years ago on the Blood
Fils been able to watch a lot of stuff that
you can find on YouTube. There you can constantly and yeah,
very great pass of old stuff. You just find it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Can live with the cffew lines just cutting out with
that's tremendous cool for you, Thank you for that. You're
talking Kiss? Why not ten to ten nine away from
ten o'clock we are talking Kiss the band obviously, if
you want to talk about that too, I think there
are some they do have appeared to tour in New
Zealand four times. That's a extra content not so long ago.

(01:11:18):
But if you want to talk what they did talk
on about tonight and maybe some of that stuff. Talk
about music in the seventies and the live album. I
don't know what the whole thing with live albums were,
but they certainly were the thing of the seventies, weren't they.
I don't know what the biggest selling live album. By
the way, just looking at video of Mini Kiss, have
you seen them? Pretty extraordinary band, A tribute band. I

(01:11:40):
think you'll get the idea about Mini Kiss google them.
What are the biggest selling live albums? I guess Kiss
will be up there, and Peter Frampton I might be Springsteen.

(01:12:01):
I haven't got I've got I've got a list of
the band. The last Welds. That was pretty good. Those
unplugged ones did well too, didn't they. I'm just looking
I'll Kiss Alive as the fifth because of the fifth
best Frantmin comes Alive at number three, the Almand Brothers
of course, and the whole live at leads, So it
was a big deal. Even this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:12:21):
I'll go Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Yeah? Good?

Speaker 15 (01:12:23):
Even hey?

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
Look.

Speaker 21 (01:12:27):
I got on to kiss her around about nineteen seventy seven,
and I bought the very first album, which was the
live album, in nineteen seventy five, and I was just
utterly crazy over Chris way back then. I bought their

(01:12:47):
second album, their live album, but the last part.

Speaker 12 (01:12:52):
Of it was just audio.

Speaker 21 (01:12:55):
It was nineteen seventy seven. And then they went into
the nineteen seventy eight era where they went single and
they did their own individual solo albums, and then we
came back in dun Dynasty Unmasked and Lick it Up.

(01:13:15):
And that was when I, you know, I got rid
of it because it was the kiss was going down
for me. So I just went back to my own
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
You know, do you remember who got you into kiss?
Evan Ah.

Speaker 21 (01:13:31):
Shovers? I think It was only myself because my brother Peter,
he's ten years.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Old and me.

Speaker 21 (01:13:38):
He got me into Deep Purple, the live with the
philh of Molecule Orchestra with Year with Deep Purple, and
I didn't actually like it, you know, I don't actually
like it. I've got a few Deep Purple albums, but
I didn't really like it. But my favorite band our

(01:14:01):
team now is Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd will always
will be my O.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
I appreciate your loyalty with that, but thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:14:11):
Move it along.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
They're fifteen to forteen. Australia's in level pecking game with
this one. That's netbull though for in it, one team scores,
the next team scores. It's free hard to find out
the top ten live albums of all time. I don't
know where Kiss coming to that one, but we are
talking about the band and the netball and truck drivers.

(01:14:35):
Queen's Live Killers, which came out in seventy nine, was
another great live album. I was lucky enough to meet
Gene Simmons and twenty ten worst person I've ever had
the honor of meeting. Don't meet your idols or whatever
that's saying is Piers some of my block is currently
mowing their lawns. Is that a classic meth head mover?
I'm missing out on some new TikTok lorn hack. It's dark,

(01:14:58):
isn't it? I blame the head torches. Mark's a bit
off topic of my first contours eighty one eighty two
Motorhead in the Civic Head. I hope to do a
and it was loud and incredible. Marcus just tuned in.
Which Kiss member died? Very good question. That's why we
are talking about it today, eighteen hundred eighty if you

(01:15:21):
want to talk. Ace Freely has died seventy four, original
lead guitarist and founding member. He had had a fool
so I don't know what his stage tricks were. Good

(01:15:42):
name to Ace Freely, isn't it? Presume that wasn't his
real name?

Speaker 14 (01:15:45):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Presume they all had made up names, did they?

Speaker 8 (01:15:50):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
I'm just kind of surmising that myself. I'll find out
about that. Paul Daniel Freely yep invented the persona of
the Spaceman, was with a band from seventy three until
nineteen eighty two, then rejoined afterwards. Did have his own

(01:16:11):
band called Freely's comments. They had two albums, but watching Kiss,
no one's really wonders what you do after Kiss?

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
Are they?

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
And as you get back to Kiss otago one they
played well. Netball score nineteen sixties Australia pulling ahead ever
so gradually. Here we go h seven past ten Australia
twenty nine Year Zealand twenty six Australia head by three.
That's the netball score at the stage at date past ten.
We're talking Kiss, the band and your reactions to the band,

(01:16:44):
your times you saw them, anything Kiss related. That's what
we are about tonight. So come through if you want
to talk. Marcus is talking here. Dalbin stopped making sense
of one of my all time favorite albums. I wore
up my VHS tape. Best live LPNs in his history
was Hot August Night, Neil Diamond. It's still the record
DA News Inland history four years and he's in in
top forty. So also pivoted from Kiss to great live albums.

(01:17:10):
Then old MTV went on with that unplugged thing, which
was all a but weird too, was it because it
wasn't really was live, but it were live but quiet.
I think Nirvana this one was pretty good. Also talking
about trucks. Anything I sho you want to talk about tonight, jumping,
let's have you. You might have some other random stuff

(01:17:32):
going around. You might just want the chat tonight. It's
still good. Kiss is the major topic, but there's back topics,
so you might talk about something else. That's cool. We
can handle that being touch hittor twelve o'clock tonight. You
might be out and about in the big in the
big city. Let us know what's happening out there in

(01:17:52):
the world tonight. I've always just that halftime Australia head
by two. We could win this. Hope we do ten
past ten. By the way Tago won forty one seventeen.
You'll be able to scratch with that. Get in touch
with your talk, go on air, these other stuff you
want to mention. I can handle anything tonight. I don't

(01:18:13):
know what's happening in the world. There's Trump back on
truth socially, he is still off back on today. Okay,
he's got his grandchild playing golf through the YouTube video
with her as poor grandchildren. Ah, come on, let's be

(01:18:38):
hearing from us. You do want to talk Marcus till
midnight tonight, So get in touch.

Speaker 11 (01:18:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Yes, Then we think what else I can tell you
about tonight? What else is on people's mind? By the way,
let me know about that.

Speaker 7 (01:18:59):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Mainly kiss or anything else? It sounds of it random,
doesn't it? You might have some interesting plans for the weekend.
Feels like some is about to kick in.

Speaker 16 (01:19:13):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
By the way, Ace Freely that died from because he
had been on life support, the family decided to turn
that off, so people must have been aware of I
don't think I was aware of that. I don't know
how long ago that it happened. A few weeks ago.
He collapsed, kind of fall at home. Then his health deteriorated.

(01:19:36):
What I like about the fact they wore costumes is
how they kind of found that look and they stuck
with it and the font with a kiss, the lettering.
I mean, it was a remarkable exercise in marketing too,
and they must have made billions from it. It is
quite extraordinary story. So that's what we are talking about.

(01:19:58):
If you want to comment, if there's something you want
to say about that, that's the whole point for tonight.
I'm also talking about trucks and truck drivers and speed limit.
Isn't all that sort of stuff that might that's sort
of the side topic if you want to add on that.
Eleven past ten just drinking and pick me up? Now,

(01:20:19):
keep those texts and emails coming through. How's things in
christ Church?

Speaker 14 (01:20:25):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
The other thing I need to talk to about are
those silly old cell phones?

Speaker 14 (01:20:28):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
What's it called? Three phase? Three? When are that three? Jeeus?
The one they're going, aren't they? And it's not far
away the whole network's big turn. It's not far away,
is it?

Speaker 6 (01:20:41):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
December? Did you say December and March? So you guys
minded to change your phones if you've got the old Nokia?
Just wondering how Liam Laws is doing? Is E racing
this weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
I think this is his? This is his This is
his track that he's good on. The did well at
last year. I think there's two more races left. Marcus
just tuned and learned to am. I surprised that Gene
Simmons never drank any drugs or smoke.

Speaker 6 (01:21:09):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Only child would look after his mother. I had heard
about that. Also, talk about live albums, because that was
Kiss's breakthrough with their live album, The Double Album of course,
there was time in the seventies where everything was a
double album like Elton John, Yellowbrick Road or legendary kind
of things. So much music. Wow, that's all right about.

(01:21:33):
Come on, you've got different stuff. Also, a bit more
about dog ramps would be good ramps to dogs in
cars and where you put your dog in your car?
Do you put a seatbelt on them or not in
the front set because of the earbags. That's something else
you might want to talk about. If there's other topics

(01:21:56):
you've got, I'm up for it. I don't know what
they are. Some of the other stuff that's happening, it's
not much, actually, are you. Here's the other thing. How
do people feel about the I'm just trying to say,
if I say it's a bit smoothly, how do people

(01:22:18):
feel about the amount of promotion for the tab and
gambling during the All Blacks and during the Warriors Now
feels pretty sketchy to me. And they try and make
out it's fun and they normalize. They also use sports people,
you know, to try and make out that it's legitimate.
You know, I'm not a gambler, but I do worry

(01:22:41):
a bit about that. I just wonder how people think
about that when you get an izzy dag for the
odds and stuff like that. I mean they you know,
they're clear I dressed up a bit of fun, aren't they?
And I guess probably for a lot of people, it's
the gateway then they're then then they're gambling a lot more.
But you might want to comment on that. It's annoying
to watch. It's just the way sports is going now.

(01:23:04):
Everyone seems to be promoting gambling within it seems wrong
to me. I guess Sky's desperate to have any money
in the income streams, that's what they're about. That might
be something you want to mention. Also, fifteen past ten,
come on, I guess you're all off watching the netball.
I can commiserate with you on that. Well, I can
agree with you on that. I'm watching a little bit

(01:23:24):
of also two. They had nine losses in the first half.
I guess that's nine losses, loss of the ball, loss
of posision. But I don't follow a huge amount of netball.
But they're behind by two. Thought they'd done pretty well.
Graceed Wiki on ninety one percent in SCX, Salmon on
seventy eight percent. So yeah, But as I say, that's

(01:23:45):
what we're about the talk tonight, So and get in
touch if you want to be on here Marcus till twelve.
There's anything else you want to mention, it's mainly about
kiss and trucks. But if you've got other stuff you
want to talk about, we can handle that. Let me
think what else is of interest. I'll say anything else
that's exciting. Were you people? Yeah, I don't know about kiss.

(01:24:10):
They always seemed think about kiss. People seemed to get
into them when they were really young. For those people
I knew that were kiss fans, they kind of were
really captivated by that. Well, I saw seven, eight or
nine and were lifers. Once you gotten to kiss, you
were there for life, it seemed. Louise, it's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:24:31):
Welcome him Marcus. Oh yeah, rip a freely. But I
was never a kiss fan. I just thought, well, if
you have to dress like that, then obviously I'm very good.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
That's Originally they did seem to be a guy's band,
didn't they.

Speaker 14 (01:24:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, But actually they
came out with some pretty good catchy songs like I
Was Made for Loving You, I can't remember the other stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
They were great rock songs, the good good pub rock songs.
You know, if you heard it at the pub, every
want to get up dance, you know, good times, good

(01:25:13):
time man, Yeah, sad anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
Yeah, feel good songs too. Once you hear them, you
couldn't stop but start singing along to it. I mean
that doesn't end.

Speaker 14 (01:25:22):
Yeah, yeah, it is, it is Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 4 (01:25:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:25:27):
So they definitely had their Yeah, they were big. And
these gambling adds. I don't watch sports, but they have
it on, you know, Sky, and it drives me crazy
because they make it out to be a one. They
have all these pretty flowers and and don't gamble because

(01:25:50):
it's just so wonderful. It's like another world, you know,
And this is the way they're presenting it. And I
absolutely hate it because I was married to a really,
really bad gambler and it's sold the storying.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
You know, gambling when it gambling when it gets bad
is a pretty nasty kind of addiction.

Speaker 14 (01:26:11):
It's the worst, the absolutely worst, and violence is often
associated with gambling addiction, with.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
The shape, with the shame and anger of it. All
I presume is that the way it goes.

Speaker 14 (01:26:23):
Yeah, they lose, they get furious, yeah, yeah, absolutely, they
destroy lives. Basically. I've heard of people have just you know,
gambled away houses. You know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Just the thing that amazes me about gambling too, and
I've had some I've had some insight into people of
the gamblers, and also too, is that they never seem
to be cured of it. It seems to be a
illness of continual relapse. They go clean for while they
don't gambling, they're right back and all and again and

(01:26:58):
lost everything once again.

Speaker 14 (01:27:01):
Yes, I believe it's actually genetic. My my mother in law,
the husband's mother, she was a gambler. He was a gambler.
And my younger daughter admitted that once she starts, she
can't stop, so she doesn't. She she got addicted to,

(01:27:25):
you know, just the scratchees.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
And is she not Does she not gamble at all?

Speaker 1 (01:27:31):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
No, because all the people, but all the people do
know that, so they don't gambled all. They always seem
to go back to it. So I hope she's careful
with that stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:27:40):
Oh no, please, I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Yeah, I know what I have so too, for your
sake anyway, But yeah, yeah, and I guess that's the disingenuousness.
They make it seem quite light, harded and fun, but
for those who lived with gamblers, it's anything.

Speaker 14 (01:27:52):
But Yes, I know my bestie is she loves to gamble,
loves with you know. She Her excuse is that it's
where she can go and no one wants anything from her.
And I'm just thinking, yeah, she's never going to give
her that ever.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Whatever. Nice to talk to you, Louise, Thank you, Maxine.
It's Marcus. Good evening, Hello, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:28:15):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
Thank you?

Speaker 23 (01:28:17):
Oh that's good. I was wanting to talk about Kiss.
I've only just woken up. But I can remember as
a teenager when the album came out, and of course
it was the days where us young kids were experimenting
doing homemade tattoos. Oh yeah, with the matchstick in the needle. Yes,

(01:28:39):
And this chip said to me, just just get it
on your wrist, Kiss on my wrist, a homemade job.
You watch, you'll cover it. And I felt like saying,
you're fortunate enough to have a watch. I never had
a watch until.

Speaker 15 (01:28:53):
I got one, bought my own.

Speaker 24 (01:28:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Yeah, and you have a thing about the did you
get the tattoo?

Speaker 23 (01:29:01):
No, I most certainly did not I got happen.

Speaker 15 (01:29:08):
And just upon.

Speaker 23 (01:29:11):
Reflectioning about the gambling and the poor chap who lost
would lose everything, go back gambling, lose it all again.
I wonder if that's all part of the cycle of
I know, a tendril from that gambling habit. Perhaps I
can get it back again.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
I'm sure, But I know it's only people that stopped gambling,
and they've been, you know, gambling free for years and
years and years, and they get some job when they're
in charge of running the money, or they have some
temptation and they've taken all the Pokey's again. You know,
they just they never said that. They always seem to
have that gambling mind.

Speaker 23 (01:29:44):
Going yeah, yeah, it's almost like the addiction to the
chase or something.

Speaker 9 (01:29:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:29:51):
I don't know, crazy, but never mind. And and how
are you, Marcius?

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
You're good, very good, Thank you. Let me just take
this break. Twenty two past ten, Australia head by four
on the netball. Hello, Kathleen, and this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:30:08):
Yes, hello, Marcus, how are you? You were talking about music,
so I just thought I would bring and then share
with you where I've been tonight to celebrate with some
of my family to celebrate our daughter's fiftieth birthday, and
we've been to a karaoke room and it was really
a lot of fun, which Kathleen Auckland. Yes, you you

(01:30:36):
have three hours of karaoke with a you pay a
certain amount towards that, and then you have drinks and
drinks included and they bring you nibbles throughout the three hours,
and then if you buy more drinks than what you know,
you pay a bit extra for it. And it's quite
a big room in massive big screen and and you

(01:31:02):
just put in the songs that you want to sing,
and you've got two micro phones going. It's a little
bit loud, I must admit, because it's in the great
big cell. It's in the center room.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Is it just the private group or there's other groups
in there as well or just your family.

Speaker 25 (01:31:16):
Groups, there's other groups. Now you have the room to yourself. Okay,
there must be about eight or ten rooms in this context.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
I haven't heard of that.

Speaker 25 (01:31:25):
But they've got these heavy, heavy doors. They're like obviously
very sound proof, and there's all nice furniture in there
where you can sit on to do your singing or
stand up or in a big screen and music and
pictures behind videos, behind all the songs.

Speaker 14 (01:31:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
So, how many were your group, Kathleen?

Speaker 25 (01:31:46):
There was twelve of us, my family, my daughters and
their husband partner. Isn't that year? And three hours passed
by pretty quickly and certainly a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Did you do any songs, Kathleen, Oh, yes, we all.

Speaker 25 (01:32:01):
Did some songs. But you don't feel intimidated at all,
because it's not like you go into a public place
doing karaoke like because it's quite loud as well, and
so your voice is are a little bit drowned.

Speaker 14 (01:32:14):
Now, what did you do?

Speaker 25 (01:32:18):
Pardon?

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
What songs did you do?

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
They?

Speaker 25 (01:32:20):
Actually, oh, they put on they put on they put
on the line dance one of my I do line dancing,
so they put on a line dance and I did.
I did a line dance. I did my favorite wagon.
We would line dance in a couple of songs with
some of the daughters.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
What songs did you do?

Speaker 25 (01:32:38):
Oh, gosh, I can't remember. Our Country Roads was one
of them, John Dember But they did a lot of
the younger stuff that I didn't know, of course, but
you could put whatever you wanted, you know, So yes,
so We did a few fun songs as well, like
Ellis and all those fun party type.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Who the heck living next door to Elis? Is it
the one?

Speaker 25 (01:33:04):
Yes, that's the one. And the food was very nice.
The little nibbles were very nice that they brought out.
And as we were leaving, which was about nine or
half past nine, it was just packed. There were people
people coming in. It's open till about three o'clock in
the morning apparently. So it's the first time I've ever

(01:33:25):
been to something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
Oh it sounds had quite a good night.

Speaker 25 (01:33:31):
So it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Everybody was singing along to Ellis, wouldn't they.

Speaker 17 (01:33:37):
Oh, yes, that's right.

Speaker 25 (01:33:42):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
What were the other novelty songs you did?

Speaker 26 (01:33:46):
Oh?

Speaker 25 (01:33:47):
My gosh, a lot of them. I didn't know the name.
I didn't know the names of a lot of the
young one young ones, you know, did their own young songs.
I didn't know a lot of those ones. Oh, we
did Cotton Eye Joe. We just did some of the
old ones.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Yearty Joe an old one now, well, yes, gosh, how
would cotton Eye Joe be?

Speaker 25 (01:34:15):
Oh, I don't know, could go a bit fifteen years
or so. I'm not sure that came out a long time.

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
Did you come from?

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
Where did you go? Where did you come from?

Speaker 15 (01:34:23):
Joe?

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
Nice to talk, Kathleen, rednecks. It's always got in a
nightclub when they play Cotton Eye, Joe, do you want
to get them all on the dance floor? Isn't it here?
We go get in touch, we'll talk, Carrier, I don't
mind talk karaoke and trucks and trucks Stiffanie, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:34:45):
It's good, good evening, Marcus. It's it's not a good look.
We're a good feeling when you're in a truck and
someone in another vehicle does something totally stupid and you
can't do nothing about it. What I'm talking about is

(01:35:09):
that fatal crashals and vacant February. You know, you drive
an uproad minding your own business, and all of a
sudden there's a set of loads in front of you
that you shouldn't be there, and you hit the brakes,
you hit them, and it's all over well because of

(01:35:34):
another driver doing something they shouldn't have done.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
You are stiff there?

Speaker 14 (01:35:40):
You with that?

Speaker 8 (01:35:40):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
With that stuff?

Speaker 25 (01:35:41):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
If you had help with it? Or are you just
handling it yourself and doing okay.

Speaker 16 (01:35:46):
I have had four counseling sessions. Yeah, but every now
and again it does come back to launch you that
there is nothing I could have done differently. And you
see it that night. A vehicle will follow you for

(01:36:06):
miles and miles and miles and then they'll pass you
on a double yallow line. Yeah, you know, absolutely stupid
when there was plenty of faces they could have passed
you earlier. And you have to wonder what's going through

(01:36:29):
their minds when they do their stupid stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:36:33):
You know.

Speaker 16 (01:36:33):
There was another one this morning. It was a bypassed
between the Taru and t rail on the bypass road.
The vehicle had a truck. I haven't heard the outcome,
but the road was closed for many years. He again,

(01:36:56):
it was a white vehicle that had a truck and
too helicopter scorn, so it was quite severe.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
Stiffani. When you see when you see crashes, is that
something that brings it back for you too? Is that
what's happening with you?

Speaker 14 (01:37:13):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:37:14):
No, at times when people are prossing me in stupid waters,
that will bring it back.

Speaker 7 (01:37:20):
Yeah, but yeah, it's.

Speaker 16 (01:37:25):
You just have to wonder what's going through the heat.
How do they get the license when they're doing such
stupid moves?

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
Yeah, Stephanie, Yep, they're probably not doing this stupid look
moves when they're studying their license.

Speaker 16 (01:37:43):
Really true.

Speaker 2 (01:37:45):
And that's the thing, isn't it. I mean, the license
only a snapshot in time. Not are they going to
drive the whole time?

Speaker 16 (01:37:50):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
When no one's around, they'll go they start hitting the
idiot stick and that that there driving goes bad.

Speaker 16 (01:37:57):
Yeah, you know, like just thruck limited to ninety five
k and air you know, so you can't go any christer,
but ron on the cruise between eighty six and ninety Yeah,
you know, you've got all the safety features they call

(01:38:18):
us cameras and everything else in Yes, so you just
end up doing a job the best you can and
hopefully why that you make it home at night these.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
These days Stiffley were in to kiss.

Speaker 7 (01:38:35):
Not really.

Speaker 16 (01:38:37):

Speaker 10 (01:42:48):
Picked up this in the cassette days and picked up
a can set up with sister. So this is late
seventies and the album Destroyer came out and yeah, just
turn it and didn't think I was listening to the
right song, and it's all distorted, but like probably Michael

(01:43:09):
and it's Detroit rock City and the guys walks over
to his car and he puts on the music and
it's actually Kiss playing and it's so on a rock
and roll all night, but I didn't know until you
looked at the lyrics. It's about a truck and unfortunately

(01:43:30):
they just had a big accident. It's a radio station
he listens to, so all of a sudden, he gets
in his car and he's changing gear, slams the door
and then it rocks into Detroit Rock City and you
only got to listen to that loud And that's a
great song.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Yeah, So what are you describing there?

Speaker 10 (01:43:48):
One of Kiss's songs on their album Destroyer.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
Okay, okay, brilliant album.

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:43:57):
So yeah, there's a tracking theme in that start of
that song.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Okay, good, Okay, I appreciate that. Well, that's a good
time for the two of them. Yeah, your truck driver, yourself.

Speaker 14 (01:44:08):
Ah.

Speaker 10 (01:44:09):
No, we're out on the road doing night shift. But
we were sort of yeah, come and contact, not physical
contact with a load of trucks, a lot of milk
tankers and that out doing their rounds.

Speaker 15 (01:44:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
What whatt island?

Speaker 9 (01:44:22):
Are you on?

Speaker 10 (01:44:22):
Glenn top of the South?

Speaker 20 (01:44:25):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
Yeah, what's what's the weather doing there?

Speaker 15 (01:44:28):
Oh it's brilliant night.

Speaker 10 (01:44:29):
Yeah, at the back of Murchiston and spring Stift.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
Yeah, wow are you there?

Speaker 15 (01:44:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:44:35):
Cool spot.

Speaker 2 (01:44:36):
Yeah, it'll be a great spot to be nice to
talk to. Glenn, thanks for coming back through twenty seventeen
Away from eleven hittle twelve. Do you want to be
a part of it? We're talking kiss and anything else
you want to talk about tonight and trucks. There's other
topics floating around and let's be hearing from you, So

(01:44:59):
come on, get in touch. Hittell twelve, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nineteen nine to take seventeen to eleven
Australia head by nine. Be tough for the keepers to
come back and win this. Marcus didn't know much about Kiss,
but I loved I was made for loving you. We
were dance like we're gonna win prizes. Thank you, Otago
going to the final, thank you, it's down to four,

(01:45:20):
there's down down to three. Marcus seems to remember going
to Kiss concert an Athletic parker one into years ago,
but not a clear memory. Does he remember that concert
from bears have been people that have called before tonight
about that Athletic Park nineteen eighty they played Springs and
Athletic Park, So if you want to talk about that,
that would be good to hear from you. Someone says

(01:45:43):
definitely says great things, but really you just wait for
the belly laugh. I'm hearing you, Oh, Marcus gambling big
day tomorrow with the Everest and Coolfield Cup. Look for
the New Zealand bred Ya King rising to win the Everest.
It's a slot race, is it is? That's about the Everest. Yeah,
that's big in it. We're into racing season, aren't we.

(01:46:06):
As guy Fawk's in the America's Cup. Sorry, the Melbourne Cup.
That's right. Everyone sings who the if is? Allison thinks
it's hilarious. Could never stand it myself. Well, the thing
is even without the swearing, it's a good song. So
one hit wonder by Light the way it starts, Marcus.
My mate Kevin from Blenhim is probably the Upper South
Island's biggest Kiss fan. He took to day off work

(01:46:29):
for morning. That's a true Kiss Army soldier in my life.
I've got two very big Kiss fans actually that I
know about. And yeah, that obsession runs deep with that band.
I've got someone who's actually emailed me today and he's
not in his usual place. He's in a Kiss tribute band.

(01:46:50):
It's pretty interesting. It would be easier hard to be
a because it's the shows of rechoreographed, aren't they? Twelve
way from eleven? If you want to talk Marcus, Normally
I work nights and do my washing over the weekend.
But and on one of those power off peak plans,
I'm grateful I got to turn into night and lit's
do the show. Normally I miss it. Keep up great show,

(01:47:10):
Thank you so kiss Athletic Park or Mount Smart. I
don't think they would have been very good at super Top.
I've seen a lot of beans at the super Top,
but none of it was that more memorabilit terra.

Speaker 8 (01:47:21):
It will be new.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
For those that don't know. Mount Smart the home of
the Warriors for about twenty years. They had a big
ten put up there for concerts. By the way, the
everest is worth twenty two point eight million. That's big prize.
It's probably more than the Melbourne Cup. I would think
a Hazel midnight just fyi. We didn't know that though,

(01:47:46):
wouldn't you. Gym's along at twelve Jim Jim yep, But
a cricket tomorrow night New Zealand played Pakistan. The Football
A League begins tonight, but not New Zealand Auklann FC's
first against Melbourne victory tomorrow. I think Melbourne victory for

(01:48:08):
every good team, aren't they? Did they win it last year?
I think they did. That might be a repeat of
last year's final. I think I remember that was the
same night as the Oyster Festival and Willington Phoenix played
Perth Glory tomorrow eleven forty five pm. By the way,
the Big Backyard Ultra in Tennessee happens on Sunday. That's

(01:48:29):
the one where you've got to run that six point
seven loop every hour. The two best are the Kiwi
and the Aussie Phil Gore and Sam Harvey. And it's
a bit of time before the All Blacks play. They
play in Chicago on tewond of November. Yep, this day
in nineteen fifty six, Bobby Fisher wins the game of
the century of chess. Was exciting when chess was like that, Eh,

(01:48:53):
that kind of stopped the world. I don't know how
America's done since Bobby Fisher. I don't know that a
grand master or I don't think I've had a player
of that repute for a long long time. Seeing the
guy total chess prodigy, the game was world champion Bobby

(01:49:16):
Fisher against Donald Byrne in the roseen Ward Memorial Tournament
at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City. Hands
called it the game of the century and wrote the
following game is stunning masterpiece of combination play performed by
a boy of thirteen yeth The formidable opponent matches the
finest on record in the history of chess prodigies. Exciting
story that sixty two fifty one, sorry, sixty three fifty

(01:49:42):
well or twelve behind? We're not winning this. Three minutes
to go, Kerrie, Marcus. Good evening, Hi and Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:49:49):
I was thirteen years of age when my sister brought
me and showed me to get to the Kiss concert
at Fleet the Park.

Speaker 2 (01:49:58):
Wow, good on your sister for shouting you, I know.

Speaker 27 (01:50:02):
For my thirteenth Thursday in nineteen eighty I this day's
good to clac relate that for a minute. Yeah, so
it was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:50:14):
Where were living?

Speaker 27 (01:50:16):
I looked in our hat?

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
So you caught the train or did your parents drop
you off? Or you get a bus?

Speaker 27 (01:50:22):
I don't remember. It's actually how we got there. I
was so blown away by the smell of the concert
that everybody around me, and I was just like wow.
But I was at my first life concert, and my
first concert ever was part nineteen, probably nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
Now I know that Athletic Park was famous for its
big steep stands. Were you right up there or we
were on the field?

Speaker 27 (01:50:55):
We were because I was only young. We were in
the stains, and that we were a position where we
could we were ound and see everything. Yeah, Athlete Park.
I grew up with that part. I still die straights here.
I saw David Bowie there. I saw Billy Joel there.

(01:51:17):
Absolutely awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Was it good for was it good for concerts?

Speaker 14 (01:51:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:51:23):
Absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 27 (01:51:26):
I've been to the stadium. I saw David Bowie in
nineteen eighty three, eighty four, and I saw him again
in two thousand and or whenever. That was at the stadium,
and it just wasn't the state.

Speaker 2 (01:51:40):
No, No, I think the stadium is terrible for concerts.
Carrie lost to talk. I appreciate that. Thank you, Carrie.
It's Marcus. Hello, good.

Speaker 6 (01:51:49):
Hi Kerrie.

Speaker 7 (01:51:51):
Oh good good.

Speaker 15 (01:51:52):
I was about a month ago. God, somebody somebody ring
my wife and said that that I was that.

Speaker 12 (01:52:01):
I was going to have a I had a dream,
but then I had a bust of it. And so anyway,
I was studying the shift, and that person that had
the dream, they surely had a preyer meeting for me
about that particular dream. And so anyway, I was starting
the shift that night and I was coming back from

(01:52:22):
Bookland and a truck b trained. They did a U
tune in front of me, and it was pretty amazing
actually because I can't put the abs on, and it
did all the right stuff, but it's like somebody kind
of just lifted my mess up and kind of moved
it to.

Speaker 28 (01:52:39):
The right hand thought.

Speaker 12 (01:52:40):
I literally had the cap of the truck right in
front of my face, and people in the bus were right, man,
how the heck, How the heck did you get out
of there? It was pretty pretty amazing, But I that
was probably the closest callers ever had. Truck drivers are
pretty awesome for this particular one is put it a cowboy.
Trucks will out there will know what I mean by that.

(01:53:01):
But yeah, So anyway, I found out today My wife
was actually looking to somebody today and she said that
that this guy had a dream in Carrie, like say
my name, that I died in the accident. I said, well,
that's information I kind of I could have learn about,
not that would have done any good. But apparently apparently

(01:53:23):
the dream was that I actually died in it. So yeah,
I undertow in the power of prayer and not that
you probably into that markers, but yeah, I quite often
pray when I.

Speaker 13 (01:53:31):
Go out, every time I go out in the bus
with people. For me, that quite work.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
Why would someone tell your wife that you were in
an about that stuff you keept yourself, isn't it?

Speaker 20 (01:53:41):
Oh no, no, no, no.

Speaker 12 (01:53:43):
They just having a prayer meeting about it, and she
actually went to it as well, and it's just preer
meeting and no, I thought that was all cool. It's
it's out kind of works.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
So did someone dream today that you're going to die
in a truck an? Excellent?

Speaker 12 (01:53:59):
No, no, no, that the dream, the dream I'm not
to go that this person had was that I had
an accident, a bus accident.

Speaker 2 (01:54:06):
And okay, so I've got to leave. I'm out of
time care because I got the news. But thank you. Greetings,
welcome hered Telf we are talking kiss and tracks. Craig.
It's Marcus. Welcome Marcas.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
How you doing good?

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
Thanks Craig.

Speaker 15 (01:54:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
So I saw kids so I think in the nineties
and in Brisbane, yep. And it was pretty impressive to
see them because it was the time when they had
all your makeup on and the glitter and five works
gone on the background. In all honestly, I wasn't a
huge fan of.

Speaker 6 (01:54:36):
Kiss.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
I love the band, but I wasn't one of those
real staunch fans. I just wanted, you know, it was
an opportunity. I was living in Brizee and they were
playing at the Brisbane hear Penment Center. And I've gone
to quite a few shows. I'm the one that sort
of emailed I don't know whether you've got to see that?

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got that. Yep, yep, yep, thanks
for that.

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
Yeah, so I've seen. Yeah, I've been around a bit
and seen some awesome shows, and probably about six hundred altogether.
That's concerts and sporting events and and shows, and it's
just been wonderful. But I do I remember Kiss, I
do you remember Gene Simmons. I remember them and the
you know, the big high heel boots and that sort
of stuff, and putting on the meanest show when the

(01:55:15):
crowd really got into it, but chair it's as nice
as it was to say kiss. It was nice to
see all the other shows too, And you know, I've
got a messiveness here. I could read them out, but
then I don't want to take up too much time
on the radio.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
Makes you read about it you.

Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Like cool, So you know, I've been very fortunate in
my life to do some traveling and even in New Zealand.
But my first concert was actually Bob Dylan and Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers added a park and maybe nineteen
eighty five eighty six, I can't exs remember. The second
one was actually Eurythmics in Wennington as well, after a

(01:55:50):
park and I was able to go and see Pink
Floyd at Western Springs and Auckland around about the late
eighties I think it was, but also met the Mounts
Smart and we talked about the super Top. I went
there as well to see Bobby Brown and yeah, I
think I only saw one concert there. Probably wasn't the
best place to see a concert. I think it was
all flat on the grass. But yeah, lucky enough to

(01:56:11):
see you know, like Lord of the Dance, River Dance.
I've seen pandom of the Opera Brian Adams, Michael Jackson
three times, Madonna had Frank Rapel, Madonna had Trunk Rapel,
Michael Jackson as well, actually in third row Alona, Richie

just the name of few of my man lucky also
to see you know, like probably twining in Arrow Games.
I've been to the Rule at Albert Hall when I
was just in London. Just recently went to that place
to see the vienna for Themonic Orchestra, seen Collective Soul
spladein Zadie Joe Herbs. Yeah, and the list goes on,

(01:57:38):
to be honest, there's a lot of other stuff as well,
like twenty black Cap Games and.

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
The multi Deliverpool Prager. How do you manage to do
it all?

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
I I just it was it was kind of my thing.
I just happened to go to my first concert with
my brother Darren in Warrington and my cousin Paul, and
I wasn't even going to the concert was actually Bob Dylan.
Wasn't even into Bob Dylan, to be honest, but then
they has made shrinked me along and went to the
concert them. From that first concert, I thought this is

(01:58:07):
a pretty cool atmosphere. And it went to my second Earthmics,
my third Pink Floyd and It's just one of those
things where I wouldn't said it was an addiction, but
I just thought, I just kind of put.

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Your work hard to make the money to travel and
do it.

Speaker 14 (01:58:18):
Do you?

Speaker 3 (01:58:20):
Yeah, you know what back in the day, you know,
I mean even the wage wasn't as bad and I
was not as good as it was now. Well, sorry,
it wasn't as much back then. But the concert tickets
back then, like I've seen you two about five times,
and my first two ticket might have been forty dollars,
but now probably to go and see you two now
is probably one fifty maybe, So they weren't that expensive

(01:58:42):
back in the day. I mean, out of those six
hundred concerts you before, they have been four times, I say,
thirteen times to see you Befoty like Tony Charles four times,
and as there's some concerts I've seen multiple times with
some artists.

Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
So but yeah, I guess I just were you living now, Craig, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:58:59):
Living in sunny or Tucky. Yep, I'm living in Utucky,
bread and living. And if you could remember, you might
have seen the email there, Marcus, the I ring that
my dad got eltercated some time ago, and that he
died and then we would they bought him back to life.
But it's just an email. There's attached to the emails
I sent you tonight. But you may remember the story.

Speaker 7 (01:59:17):
You may note I do, I do.

Speaker 2 (01:59:19):
Hey, what's next?

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
What's next?

Speaker 7 (01:59:23):
Look?

Speaker 18 (01:59:23):
You know I was.

Speaker 3 (01:59:23):
I just got back from London and I was over
there for a big mess of march over there, freedom
of speech march and long.

Speaker 2 (01:59:29):
Story, short side down what we're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:59:33):
Oh sorry, I was in London just recently.

Speaker 14 (01:59:37):
Oh he was.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
There was a freedom of speech march over there with
the guy called Tommy Robinson, and I was over there
with the people.

Speaker 2 (01:59:45):
They get what what content's nixt?

Speaker 15 (01:59:47):
Craig?

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
The next concert? I'm not too sure. I have not
got nothing booked into those. I don't know who's coming.
Who would I love to see? Gosh, I guess I
love to see a deal, you know, Bob Morley, if
you're still alive.

Speaker 2 (02:00:00):
Olive there, Craig, But thanks so much. That thirteen past eleven, Richard,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
He's not really a big kiss stand But I was
made for loving you. He how can nobody?

Speaker 2 (02:00:13):
How could what sor you just cut out?

Speaker 4 (02:00:16):
I was made for loving you.

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
How could we not know that song?

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
Oh, it's a great song.

Speaker 4 (02:00:22):
Do not a big Kiss fan, But the one thing
that I am a big fan of is, and it
might digress slightly, is happy Gilmore. And when I think
it was his parents died and he had to go
live with his grandma and she she turned up at
the door with a Gene Simmons mask on and all

(02:00:43):
respect to ace you rest in peace, okay. And that guy,
I'll tell you what lately, he's done this movie called Hustle.
I don't know if you if you watch movies, but
that's brilliant.

Speaker 7 (02:00:57):
And that's my boy.

Speaker 4 (02:00:59):
But yeah, for his for his peace of mind when
he had to go to his grandma's place to live
after his has died, I think it was she turned
up at the door with the Gens and miss mask on.
And that's how cool Kiss are?

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
I reckon. If you went to see them in a
big stadium, the enthusiasm would be in fiction, I think
would be a fantastic experience.

Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
In views of the.

Speaker 4 (02:01:23):
Last guy with the travel in the bands he's seen.
And I've been speaking with somebody lately about the energy
that the humans can produce when they get together, and
in fact, rock concerts are the one place where we
we gather the most.

Speaker 2 (02:01:38):
For the one last guy I said he went to
see David Copperfield. I wouldn't really call that a crisis
of belief.

Speaker 4 (02:01:46):
He's an artist and I like, I like.

Speaker 8 (02:01:51):
I will.

Speaker 4 (02:01:52):
Yeah, a magician as a corn artist.

Speaker 2 (02:01:54):
Well, any data, who do you go out with? It
always seemed a mismatch.

Speaker 15 (02:01:59):
It it's something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:02:02):
But my first concert with a magician now.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
Was yes, and I don't know a magician. Isn't it
halfway to a wizard?

Speaker 2 (02:02:13):
No korra, no tenth No different track.

Speaker 15 (02:02:18):
Different track, isn't it different track?

Speaker 6 (02:02:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:02:21):
But I just wanted to rest in pieceation. But the
thing was with Kissed is that song I was made
for loving you?

Speaker 2 (02:02:29):
What a great song.

Speaker 15 (02:02:31):
It's a kind of like a god given song.

Speaker 11 (02:02:33):
Really?

Speaker 2 (02:02:35):
Why is it so good that it's all the do dos?
Does it make it so good? Is it wasn't so good?

Speaker 4 (02:02:40):
It's that one line I was made for loving you.
And anyone who speaks that sentence, how can they be
in a bad place?

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
Eat they're a wizard. I think it was clearly a
shift of that. David Copperfield went out with anyway, dude,
Hill twelve, j Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go. Nineteen past eleven. Jason, it's Marcus. Welcome, Hey Marcus.

Speaker 7 (02:03:07):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:03:08):
Thank you? Jason? What did you want to talk about? Trucking?

Speaker 7 (02:03:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:03:16):
What do you want to say?

Speaker 23 (02:03:17):
Oh?

Speaker 29 (02:03:18):
I don't really, I just I'm just Yeah, I've just
started a new job. I'm driving the milk tinker.

Speaker 3 (02:03:23):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
Good, how's that going?

Speaker 13 (02:03:26):
No, it's good, it's.

Speaker 29 (02:03:27):
It's it's different, but yeah, I'm enjoying it.

Speaker 18 (02:03:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:31):
How many different stops would you do each day?

Speaker 29 (02:03:37):
Sort of can depend really Sometimes you might only do
two pickups and then your whole truck and trailers full.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
Yeah I wondered about that. Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 29 (02:03:46):
Or you might have seven or eight different stops and
your filled all depends on how how much milks is
each shed type thing.

Speaker 2 (02:03:52):
And when it's filling up, you're talking to the cocker,
you've got paperwork or what are you doing?

Speaker 29 (02:03:57):
Yes, it's all it's all pretty much digital way. You
have just sort a big screen in your truck and
tells you what your estimate leaders is to pick up yep,
And so you sort of have a rough idea what
you're going to be getting, and then took your hose
up and it'll have off and it's done, and you
check your vet and whatnot, and then off you go.

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
And do you talk to the families?

Speaker 29 (02:04:18):
Sometimes I'll come over have a bit of a chattar
and that.

Speaker 4 (02:04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (02:04:22):
But but tonight, you know night chift tonight too well
of the roll and bed I'll assume.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
Oh so what why does that work? Is that because
because you're picking up the milk from their evening milking?
Is that what it does?

Okay, oh nice to talk Jason. Thanks for that. Twenty
three past eleven. He's an email Marcus. My first concert
nineteen eighty Kiss at Western Springs. I was thirsty and
went with my girlfriend who I'm still friends with. We
spent all day waiting to get and got front row.
When Kiss came on, the Black Power came bowling through.
We had to grab our spots close enough to get

(02:06:39):
Jim some close enough to get Gene Simmons blood on
our Swede tricks though badge of honor at school on Monday.
Most amazing concert experience set me off on a lifetime
of seeing concerts. Still love it. I still have the
ticket cost ten dollars. Brought it from Glenfield More Records store.
It's simpler time than the performance in cost of bind
and concert ticket today haha regards Tim. That was a

(02:07:02):
thing to go and by the concerts tickets for the
record shop seemed surprising and we couldn't find a record
shob could you would you? By the way, in Australia
they have released Bluey Coins Lumit Edition Australian coins they're
bluey coins. They're quite good. The Aussie money they're better
than ours. They're always doing different fun coins. It's got
to be sorted out. That's a propos nothing Herefore you're

(02:07:26):
getting loose towards the end. I like that, you know
how I like it. Loose. Get in touch, Marcus till twelve.
If you want to talk, if there's something different and
you've got come on. Mainly we are talking kiss as
we should be this time of the year. But if
you want to talk about anything else, all that too.
When's the recond the infants? Jeraldan they can't be fair away?

Speaker 18 (02:07:45):
Is it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
November ten? That feels like it's about four weeks? Await
isn't it fifty ten? Avest this year three and a
half weeks away? Fifty anniversary? Okay, I won't know what
they've got planned for that. I have to look up that.

(02:08:08):
But come to if you want to talk on air
for the final go round. Whatever you've got, fine, not
topic fussy this time of night, eight hundred and eighty today,
this might be something you might have some still wash
up stuff from the local But elections, I see the
final results seem to be out for everyone you might

(02:08:29):
want to mentioned that two thousand people are expected the
fifty anniversary commoration of the sinking of the Eben Fitzgerald.
This is in the Duluth News. Two thousands expected to
turn out next month when Split Rock House Lighthouse and
the Minnesota Historical To decide to hold a memorial to

(02:08:52):
mumorate the fiftieth anniversary. For the past forty years, the
lighthouse has observed the anniversary with a ceramia rich the
names between nine crew who perished in Lake Shapira read
aloud to the tolling of a ship's bell. The Split
Rocks Beacon is lit in their honor. This year's event
will continue that tradition. Wow, that's special. It's only three

(02:09:14):
weeks away. Oh, by the way, I think it's Rugby
League this weekend. I think it's New Services Samoa, like
a stacked Samoa team, like a really good Samo team.
RTS isn't it too? So you're surprised that hasn't got
much publicy, But pretty sure it's this weekend. That kind

(02:09:37):
of passed me by until I saw something about it. Yes,
Sunday Mount smart Oh watch that that'll be great. Such
a stacked Samoan team Blaise Ta Langy, Jerome Lewai, Dane Mariner,
run to one of the best rts Jazz Devanger. It's

(02:09:59):
gonna be great, Josh Papa Lie Wow Wow Payne has
that'll be fantastic. So I should win that, I would think.
But that's Tearra May. That's on Sunday, Sunday six o five.
They'll be well worth watching. And I think that that's
sort of the Pacific A Cup. I think starts it

(02:10:21):
off and then the Aussies across to England for the
Ashes they call that. But I think England league's kind
of on a bit of a down buzz at the moment.
I don't know how good they are, but mind Joe,
I guess they'll get up. It's at home. There'll be
some hype around that one. But yeah, I'm looking forward
to that twenty nine away from twelve. If you want
to be in the show tonight, if you want to
talk anything goes looking forward to your call to the
final flurry, what it would be. It's timely thing to

(02:10:44):
talk about this time of the night. I can't even
think really, Or you might want to talk about the
netball if you watch that and just come back to
bed to watch the radio. If you've got any uptakes
on that, that'd be nice to hear from you. He
thoughts about that or kiss in the concert athletic park
might be something you need to mention also tonight, but

(02:11:06):
through if you want to talk eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine to text Hittle twelve,
I'll be nice to hear from you.

Speaker 15 (02:11:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:11:16):
Let me think if there's anything I've missed talking about tonight.
I can't think of anything, but give us a holler.
There might be some other random topic you've got for
the end of a Friday. There's a Friday free for all.
I've enjoyed the talk about It's cliss has been good
so but there might be something different that you feel
that ought to be talked about tonight. As I say,

(02:11:39):
all the lines are free, would be good to hear
from you. I wasn't quite sure about that, guy kidd.
If you dream that someone died in a you wouldn't
tell the person you dream that died, would you? That
freak them out. I don't know what dreaming etiquet is
when you've dreamt someone's died, but clearly it's not going
to happen because dreams aren't reality. Is that what he

(02:12:02):
was saying? He said that, Yeah, that someone told his
wife he's going to get die an accident. Kind of
felt it freaked out. Who've got quit out by the news.
But yeah, I don't know what to say about that.
Seems wrong to me. Anyway, here'll twelve you want to
be a part of it? Moneamers Marcus Good Evening, eight

(02:12:22):
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine to the text. Yeah, hi, Greg,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 28 (02:12:33):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 24 (02:12:34):
How are you this evening?

Speaker 3 (02:12:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (02:12:35):
Good things, Greg lovely. Are you talking about the record
the Edmond Fitzgerald Yes, Gordon Lifel song. Yes, Yes, it
was a great song. I mean I like, I like
a song that's got a historical or a character reference.
You know, that's great. It's a great way to write

(02:12:56):
a song.

Speaker 2 (02:12:57):
It's one of the great songs of all time.

Speaker 28 (02:13:00):
Thank you.

Speaker 24 (02:13:00):
Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, I mean it's a
long song playing a part.

Speaker 28 (02:13:04):
But are you a musician, Well, yeah, yeah, I've played
it before.

Speaker 24 (02:13:10):
Yeah, sure, get you Goomy, Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I was
in a band that played that song one stage.

Speaker 2 (02:13:21):
Yeah, I love that it's such a fantastic song when
the Gales of November came early, one of my favorites.
That we commemorate the record Theminfitzgerald every year. But I'm
trying to think that it probably wouldn't have been such
a well known tragedy if it wasn't for the song.

Speaker 24 (02:13:37):
Well, music and art has the ability to amplify certain
events and history that's well known. Well a chief thing,
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, it goes on
through box and paintings and songs of course.

Speaker 2 (02:13:50):
Yeah, well they've certainly got it right with that one.
But you keep listening. When it comes to the anniversary,
it won't be far away, I think, the tenth of November.
So thanks for that. Hello, Jillion, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 26 (02:14:01):
Yeah, him, Marcus, how are you good thinking?

Speaker 2 (02:14:03):
Jillian Good?

Speaker 14 (02:14:06):
Now?

Speaker 26 (02:14:07):
As far as kiss goes, I was never really into
them because I was a good girl and Jeene Simmons
tongue made me feel creepy.

Speaker 2 (02:14:20):
Yeah, it was a fairly creepy tongue.

Speaker 26 (02:14:23):
Absolutely. And the other thing I wanted to talk about
was free power Days. Yes, I had one today and
we've done so much baking and so much laundry. I've
only just taken the last load of laundry out.

Speaker 6 (02:14:41):
Wow.

Speaker 26 (02:14:42):
So we have made the most of our free power day,
watching machine and the dryer going pretty much since eight
o'clock this morning. And we made two batches of short
bread and two batches of sausage rolls, so that took
up a bit of time.

Speaker 2 (02:15:03):
See could you afford the butter for the short How
much is the butter these days?

Speaker 26 (02:15:08):
Nine dollars?

Speaker 2 (02:15:09):
Okay?

Speaker 26 (02:15:12):
Yeah, but yeah, this was a request for the short bread.
So yeah, we made it on a free power day
and we've put it in the freezer ready for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:15:25):
Oh wow, you're organized.

Speaker 6 (02:15:28):
Yep.

Speaker 26 (02:15:29):
I haven't made my Christmas cake, but I probably won't.

Speaker 2 (02:15:32):
Bother because you got the short bread.

Speaker 26 (02:15:36):
Because no nobody else eatxcept me.

Speaker 2 (02:15:40):
I think people's tastes have changed with Christmas cake. I
don't think it puts as big as it once was. No, okay,
let's talk Jillian. Thank you, Marcus. I was lucky enough
to see Bob Million the Whalers in the nineteen eighties
at Western Springs the Garden. Normous Stage Presents had the
stage full of backup singers and band members. Great memory
Willie Nelson was the warm up band.

Speaker 18 (02:15:59):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (02:16:01):
Kiss Trivia and Germany they had to use a different
version of the Kiss logo because the S is like
the ESSs logo and that was a legal in Germany.
So the German Kiss albums have rounded isses. Wow ah, anyway,
getting touched by Nams. Marcus welcome, bring back Noline. The

(02:16:24):
players and the coach were lost, Angie, Wow anyway, get
in touch Hittle twelve, Pete Marcus welcome you.

Speaker 7 (02:16:34):
Hey Marcus, how are you good things?

Speaker 2 (02:16:36):
Pete?

Speaker 30 (02:16:37):
I just do a different topic here, and I realized
that you've already crossed the line as far as getting
in the council, So you know, are you stand? But
I'm just looking at the special votes that came through today.
Did you get this thing back from the electoral office
about the about the last votes coming through? They called
them the special votes?

Speaker 2 (02:16:58):
Oh yes, I didn't get I didn't get an email
about that. I'd gone up to third. My place has changed,
so I got extra. I got next to quite a Yeah,
I went up to eight three ninety six on the specials.

Speaker 30 (02:17:13):
Oh you know, well I'm way back from that, but
I'm just like you go Tom on Saturday, which you
will know. So you get the latest results on the Saturday,
which we all would have got. You would have the same,
and you got the second on Sunday. I got that,
so yessually on Sunday, I've came back to pig or two.
But I'm just waiting for the next one. It's quite
funny because you think you think you're going to go up,

(02:17:34):
but to.

Speaker 7 (02:17:35):
Change you couldn't.

Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
You couldn't go down, could you with special votes? Could you?

Speaker 14 (02:17:40):
No?

Speaker 30 (02:17:40):
Hope you'll go up.

Speaker 2 (02:17:42):
There's no way you could lose votes though, is there?

Speaker 30 (02:17:46):
No no articularly speaking, I'm just I'm just hoping i'm back.
I'm not as bad as I say. I was actually
a head by too, and I slipped back to so
I'm just hoping I'll get back on the lead again.
By two is one guy there. I thought I bet him,
and then he bit me, and I thought, well, I
wouldn't know. It's a nice enough guy. But I thought, well,
I thought I were I would have been ahead of him.

(02:18:08):
But you know, it's a it's a strange thing. That's
as you know. It's not a lot of times, not
what you know, it's.

Speaker 14 (02:18:13):
Who you know.

Speaker 2 (02:18:14):
Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, that's that's the thing that's happened to you.
Mate for them.

Speaker 30 (02:18:21):
You know, you think that you you know you you
always thought you're going to be ahead of him.

Speaker 16 (02:18:24):
But there there you go.

Speaker 30 (02:18:25):
It's nothing.

Speaker 2 (02:18:26):
Who's who's this? Who's this guy that might be beating you?

Speaker 30 (02:18:31):
I don't I don't really want to.

Speaker 2 (02:18:32):
I don't really want to bring but do you reckon?
You should have you reckon? You're a better candidate than
he was.

Speaker 30 (02:18:39):
Oh they're not not blowing my trumpet here, but I
thought I would have been.

Speaker 2 (02:18:46):
Oh, well, he's probably thinking the same Pete. He's probably
ge I should have bet that guy, Pete.

Speaker 30 (02:18:52):
Yeah, well that's what I thought. But I just you know,
it's just the way it goes. I've actually learned a
lot from you and you you've been you into the
last year too, didn't you.

Speaker 2 (02:19:03):
No, I went for me last time.

Speaker 5 (02:19:05):
Yeah, yeah, three us.

Speaker 30 (02:19:07):
But yeah, but I've you want to you know you
already you've already learned from the previous time, so this
time it's been a learning cure for me. But so
I've learned a hell of a lot. And I say
that people don't think that you're going to cross the
right line because it's quite often and other people that
you bought you across the line, they still cross the
line before you.

Speaker 3 (02:19:26):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (02:19:27):
I was pleased cut it on zero budget I had.
I had zero, did zero. I couldn't be bothered doing
all those plastic signs and stuff. So I was really
pleased that I didn't need any of that stuff. Because
there were billboards. People had giant photos of their face
and stuff all over the shot. Cheap as creepers who
would have put their face on a billboard.

Speaker 30 (02:19:47):
Yeah, but you don't need a Marcus because if you
got it on your on your counsel, which I had
on that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:52):
Yeah, I know, I know. But some people had every
shot plasted with giant pictures of themselves and that doesn't Yeah,
I thought wasted plastic. Were you a kiss? Were you
a kiss fan?

Speaker 3 (02:20:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (02:20:05):
I saw them in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
Yeah, really they should lead your topic rather than your vote.
What you were we at the Spark Arena.

Speaker 30 (02:20:16):
It was in Auckland here. Well, what happened was that
time they couldn't bring all the gear out because with
the Victor Arena they can't get a lot of it.
It's not big enough to have a lot of these stuff.
They can't there's only so much they can spin off
those ceilings. So they only had half. I think they
only had about it might be half of what they
or maybe a bit more than that what they could

(02:20:37):
actually put up for for you know, for the performance
of what they could do, so limited what they could
do if they had a Victor Orlena, what they could
set up in the in the in the basically up
in the roof. But that was a brilliant Colerce. Now
it was really really good.

Speaker 2 (02:20:50):
That was would you park parkings big with you?

Speaker 9 (02:20:54):
Ah?

Speaker 30 (02:20:55):
That was lucky then it was before, but it was
before you could park You park around here for free,
but now you can't. They saw they were want those
all those yeah ware.

Speaker 2 (02:21:08):
So where did you park when you went to Victor
for Do you remember? Did you find a free place
that time?

Speaker 28 (02:21:13):
There?

Speaker 30 (02:21:14):
I was lucky it was still free. I could still
park around that circle?

Speaker 2 (02:21:17):
Did you Did you get there really and found the spot?

Speaker 7 (02:21:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (02:21:21):
I did, because I came back from my went to
that and I went straight up from your plumbouf and
I got there just in time, and I sort of
knew the time. It was before six o'clock. You get
there early. You good park around that, you know, that
circle area, and that was really good. So I don't
know that many times. I mean when it went to
a few shows here at the Victor Arena.

Speaker 4 (02:21:40):
But you can't do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:21:42):
Then did you drive back that night back to New Plymouth?

Speaker 30 (02:21:45):
No, no, I had, I had assisted I stayed there.
I've been a few concerts being the Queen. I think
I've got quite a few of the one there at Victoria.
It's a good it's a good venue, that Victory ina A.
You know, been to a few at the old at
the what do you call it? The old stadium?

Speaker 3 (02:22:04):
To what the other one there there?

Speaker 2 (02:22:06):
You how the people in your plootth handled the fact
that they've been cut off for three days? And they
can't handle that a right? Or people upset about that road?

Speaker 30 (02:22:16):
You can't much about its nature, you know, what do
you do?

Speaker 3 (02:22:21):
It is what it is.

Speaker 30 (02:22:21):
It's annoying, but that's where we live. It is we
we know that these mountains. You've got Mountain Messenger, you
have those places. So that's what it out before. We're
not three days in the row though, must have been
quite bad to do that, but you haven't. But that's
just part of living in Taranaki. If you're going to
get floods and so you have slips and you just
got to put up for them. You just got to
well most people have got if you if you have to,

(02:22:45):
you have to be somewhere. I suppose it's got to
go along, take an xt ra eight hours to get
around or whatever, or just postpone it until until you can,
until you can go through to you give uppose.

Speaker 2 (02:22:56):
Hey, I don't even think when they get that new
road with a tunnel, it's still not gonna make it
any better, is it.

Speaker 30 (02:23:02):
Ah, there'd be a lot to bed markus that mountain
message always a problem.

Speaker 2 (02:23:06):
But still but still the slips aren't there. We're with
those slips tongue Pru tou or somewhere were they Yeah, there's.

Speaker 30 (02:23:13):
All they're theyvest on floods before through there, but not
as bad now. There's always there's always coming through there.
But the amount of messengers there was just the up
keeper that road. They're always retas sealing it because the
truck is go through there. They're changing the gears. They
just roped that task you up again. It's just is
just the way it is. So that'll say the text
players a lot of money by having that and plus

(02:23:34):
as a windy road terms a dangerous piece of roads.
So once it gets that gets done, that's a blessing
for taring Necky.

Speaker 2 (02:23:41):
Okay, nice to talk to Peter. I'm gonna run by
Georgia Kas through a mentioning Kas by the way, Graham
and he reads texted. He's he's up for the counsel.
They haven't got any results, he said, I think that'll
just read that text again. I just read it rough.
Still no results for Hamilton. Marcus, I'm hanging in third cheers.

(02:24:02):
Graham andty Mead used to Hamilton texts for that foot
into twelve edavants. Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:24:09):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 22 (02:24:09):
I think we've talked earlier in the year of this topic,
but I'd like to revisit if you If you will,
we call it the Waterfront State em in Auckland.

Speaker 7 (02:24:23):
Would you.

Speaker 22 (02:24:25):
Reconsider your view on that?

Speaker 15 (02:24:27):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:24:29):
What was I firmly against it last time.

Speaker 22 (02:24:32):
You were very firmly against it, But I think I've.

Speaker 2 (02:24:35):
Got quite strong beliefs of it. It offered the wrong but.

Speaker 22 (02:24:40):
A firm believer in Eden Park and in continuing to
invest in a stadium that's going to require continued upkeep
for the foreseeable future without completely servicing what we need.
Do you We don't have a pure cricket ground in Auckland,
the Rugby Stadium.

Speaker 2 (02:24:59):
But how many people tune up for cricket.

Speaker 22 (02:25:03):
Likely more than if we had a if we had
a around like Hackley Ovla imagine or the Hamilton I
mentioned more.

Speaker 2 (02:25:12):
I just think people do really sketchy kind of projections
when they come and say all these look at the
Eden's one. They thought they're gonna have all the sorts
of things, and they had. They had to try to
have a gridiron lingerie show, and even that didn't work.
I don't know. I just think that. I just think
stadiums don't work anymore really at.

Speaker 22 (02:25:28):
All around the world, or it's just in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (02:25:32):
Well, I think.

Speaker 14 (02:25:36):
Ye know.

Speaker 2 (02:25:36):
They'd say they build a stadium downtown in Auckland. They'd
say fifty thousand people would go there. But how many? Realistically,
how many? How many times a year would you fill
that out? Would it be five or ten? Wouldn't be many,
would it?

Speaker 22 (02:25:47):
I think it'll be more than that.

Speaker 2 (02:25:49):
I think the Blues aren't going to sell it out,
are they.

Speaker 22 (02:25:53):
No, they aren't. But they all blacks a couple of
times a year, you'd have taken.

Speaker 2 (02:25:59):
No, Taylor Swift won't come. There's not enough accommodation, according
to her management. That's the trouble for it. There's it's
not the venue, it's the it's the accommodation to justify it.
That's that's what their people said.

Speaker 22 (02:26:13):
But what about the new Takaha Stadium and krash it.

Speaker 2 (02:26:17):
Yes, I think it should have been a smaller stadium
that was a concert venue where you could play sporting
but I think they've got a sports stadium where you
can play concerts. I think they've got it back to front.
And I don't think you should have been writing a
downtown area because during the day it provides just a
dead zone because there's nothing happening around there. It kind

(02:26:37):
of makes that area of the city dead because it's
just got that wall interface. So I think they probably
should have put it out in the outskirts. That was
my thoughts. But I love christ Such. They're pasionate. But
we'll see how it works. But who are they going
to get? Who are they going to get they'll get.

Speaker 22 (02:26:54):
For a string scene possibly.

Speaker 2 (02:26:56):
And Teddy Swims he was there at the Yeah, no,
I think I think he was.

Speaker 3 (02:27:02):
But I'm not sure.

Speaker 22 (02:27:03):
If you've looked at the wider plans Winyard Quarter, the
wind Wolf proposal practice to your point, essentially where they
would have made it a cultural half downtown Auckland where
c r AL can feed it. Again, it seems naive
to not uselize what cl will provide to the city,

(02:27:26):
whereas you have stadiums in Mount Smart, Albany where have
taken stand away by the infrastructure.

Speaker 2 (02:27:35):
I'm just it's sort of late at night for me, Adam,
so I'm just sort of rewaking up. But actually, what
I realized from all the discussions I've had about Albany
and everything right, is that the one miracle of Auckland
is how incredibly successful Victor is. That seems to be
a perfect size. Everyone loves the concerts there, even Pete
the Breakers play there. That seems to be the real

(02:27:56):
miracle with venues.

Speaker 22 (02:27:58):
But it's always used Spark Arena correctly, pattern isn't it
spark arena not Vector?

Speaker 2 (02:28:05):
Yeah, that's right, I call it Victor, but Spark Yeah,
that's the thing. I like, I just remember that and
I've got to run, but lovely to talk to you.
Thank you for that.

Speaker 23 (02:28:13):
Whoo.

Speaker 2 (02:28:14):
Yeah he's right, I mean yeah, I just think it's
too hard to have a discussion because people that behind
the stadiums talk up the financial impact so that but
discussion has just become ridiculous because yeah, actually, I think
less and less people go to these things.
