Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be greetings, welcome the peoples in, and this is Marcus.
I hope it's good with you are Gosh, twenty six
degrees in vcago today it was extraordinary. Plenty of people
putting things on facebooks, like saying, what's that yellow object
or what's that big object in the sky. It's been
the way for so long that that was so that's
the standard one to post. But yeah, it did feel
like the case. We've come up for long week. The
day has been a scorcher, so excited about that. So

(00:32):
that's exciting. Twenty six degrees at four o'clock. So I
presume we topped the country in the weather. Did we
anyone have a look at that. I don't normally watch
the six o'clock. When you saw that, I think we
would have been the top of the bulletin. That would
be ex This was a big day of happens in
Vicago if we topped the country. So that is that.
Welcome to it here till twelve o'clock, right tight and real,
looking forward to your contribution tonight. The chase is on.

(00:55):
I thought it'd be on it between five and six.
This is the New Zealand Chase, about twenty minutes left
in it. If you've run screaming from the room because
it was so bad, let us know otherwise we'll mop
up that conversation a little bit later on. I'd love
to know what you've thought of it. It's kind of
a weird one. It's filmed in Australia and to be
in it you had to be someone who was a

(01:16):
key we living in Australia, so it's something of controves.
I don't think they do many episodes, like six or seven,
so not many at all. But if you watched it,
what's it like? Apparently quite a few New Zealand questions.
You could try some of those on me of course
as well. So yes, and I presume this will be
the best, but I presume they would have screened the

(01:36):
best one first. That's what they do in TV. I
don't know how many episodes there would be. It's a
four part special, so it's only four episodes. Why did
they bother? But let us know what you thought of that.
If you've watched it eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine two to text. Only two chases

(01:59):
and no key we chases, which I thought was poor.
If you watch that, that'll be the discussion for the
first hour. I would imagine we'll bring more people through
its more people go running from the room. Oh eight
hundred eighty ten EIGHTYXT you want to comment on that.
This is Joan, Joan, This is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Hi, Marcus June, not Joon's June. Month of June.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I love you a month of Jane. Got your copy
that we changed your name.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Born in July. Hi, I'm just watching the Chase now.
I don't think i'll be watching the next episode.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Tell me more.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I don't like it. I don't like the way it's
been programmed. You can't beat Bradley Walsh.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, why would you go up against him when he's
the best ever?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Exactly? And why is it called New Zealand Chase when
it's not done in New Zealand, it's done in Australia.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I wonder why they bothered because it seems wrong on
so many levels exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, So don't like it at all. Won't be watching
the next episode. And that's my first and.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Last distant school like come across as a bit dim
uh well on.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
One of them is gone already got one year three
of them. On this one guy at the very end
is telling everyone to take the higher price, but they're
not taking it. So I'm hoping that he's going to
go for fifty thousand dollars, which I doubt it very much.
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They always say don't go hard because we want you back.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
That's right, Yeah, but no, I won't be watching it again.
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
It sounds to me like you might still be watching
it now. You're picking out of the corner of your eye.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I told you I watched the first and this will
be the last. I want to be watching it again.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Was also the Was it on tonight at five o'clock
as well?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
No, that was a UK one British one, but on
the region, but.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
The regular Chase was on. That means if you've just
chewed the TV one, you've got the regular Chase with
five and six, then you've got that light had to
use for anw and a half in another hour of
the chase. That's right, yep, yep, for sake, that's too much.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
It is.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, No, I don't like it well, And the funny
thing is the people have flown.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, were you jew in June?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I was? I was born in July.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Were you jew in June?

Speaker 7 (04:22):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I wasn't as June July.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Okay, you're due in July, not June. And okay, thank you.
It's weird, isn't it?

Speaker 7 (04:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, but yeah, anyway, it'd be interesting to see what
other people are saying about it.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'll be desperate to hear June like you like your lot?
Thank you? Twelve past eight The chase? How was it?
And still on? But how how was it?

Speaker 8 (04:40):
So far?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
This will be the gift that keeps on giving to
either we text about this terrible hate it run for
their own best thing I've ever seen. To be honest,
I forgot it was on but the weather. I was
out doing pitching practice with the kids. Did we top
the country in the weather? No one's told me that yet.
Ashburton topped out twenty five degrees. How many episodes is

(05:05):
a series? Surely it's a mini series. It's not a
mini series. It's just four reps. And we got that
annoying chaser with the bow tie. No one suits a
bow tie. The only excuses to where bow ties are surgeons,
so the tie doesn't drip into the mess. But that's
not quite right either, your clowns. Yeah, he looks terrible,

(05:27):
this guy, this chase contestant. I'm not happy with him
at all. Terrible Schultz. The guy's namers otherwise known as
the super Nerd, which is not good anyway. He's got
an Argyll jumper, a bow tie, and a the lure jacket. Yeah,
I don't know what what to say with that. So
he's watched the chase. If you're watching the chase leaders,

(05:48):
if you if you're doubled, if you're double dipping, if
you're multi screening, what's it called, dan? Those kids do
what they do? Are you double screening? Let us know
what's happening of the chase. Oh, by the way too,
if you' an eyewitness for the fire and Island Bay,
let us know you're supposed to close your doors. Close
the door was like the light you're staying in tonight.
No one's going anywhere. Looks like it's well involved, they say, Ireland, babe.

(06:12):
It appears to be on the hill. You know where
that lighthouse house is? The lighthouse the faux lighthouse. It's
just above there. That's between Island Bay and Lyle Bay
on the road around. So yeah, you'll know it if
I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of people on
Lyle Bay looking at it because you can look up
there on the hill. Have I got the geography kind

(06:33):
of right? I think that's pretty much it. Yeah, it
is just around from Lyle Bay. So if you've got
eyewitness to that, I don't even know if it to
be still involved. I'm just looking on Google Maps to
see what you'd call that place. I'll get that up
to you before too long. I've got I'm going to
StreetView people street view. Oh, I can't get the actual

(06:55):
above version of for itness, But anyway, if you know
where there's let me know eight eight eighty and text
you've got a visual on that. I'd be curious to
hear from that. And also what you thought of the chase.
How's it going. Yeah, there's a good PR stunt for
New Zealand because it promotes the other chase. But it's
a lot of hype for something something in last four weeks,
which is kind of crazy. That's my take on it.

(07:18):
To what died who wants to be in a minion.
I always loved Chris Tarrand on Who Wants to Be
a Millionaire? We thought there was sort of the ultimate
quiz show on here much so anymore do you anyway?
That's what we're on about tonight. If your emails, I'll
take two and texts nine to nine to the text
or eight hundred and eighty to how do you want
to call through? Keep those texts going. I bet you.

(07:43):
June watches every episode. Paul can't even we propishos the
Chase is the biggest scam on TV. Marcus. There has
been a substantial house fight on a high Street nine
and by Willington. It's almost out now. Lots of appliance
is filling the narrow streets. Good evening, Marcus, how are
you do you know the show? Gold Roj. I was
sad to know that Tony Beats has passed away. He

(08:03):
was stabbed to death. May his soul rest in peace.
It was re staied use that's false news. Tony Iffing
Beats are still alive, so just be careful about that.
Tony Beats is very much still alive. That's one of
those stories that we went viral, but it's false news. Oh,
Tony iffing beats. You're definitely definitely suit of bow tie

(08:24):
or a bro tie. Marcus. Thank you keep your text
and calls coming through. Good on your bob mint. I
appreciate that. Anyway, get in touch you want to be
in touch. Eight hundred and eighty we talked about the
day's also to Simon Della was going and he's been
replaced by Melissa Stokes. Where would you put him on

(08:48):
the cannon for the top five? Where does Dellar rate
on the mount Rush Moore of news readers? Because you'd go,
you'd put Dougal Stevens and Richard Long at the top,
wouldn't you? Would you put Dello in number three? Dry Sherry,
Philip Sherry, he's in there also he makes out the
top four. Just curious to enough if you've watched TV
for a while, where you'd got Padua, Simon Dello with

(09:09):
his tenure were there tapping after a lot of years?
Great service. You might want to mention who is your
top five? And also the New Zealand Chase. By the way,
it's Harton Bay where that fire is apparently, I think
that's what you call that base. So thanks for that
that you're probably right with that too. So yeah, but
according to the texts, it's just about out now. But yeah,

(09:31):
but it's not like like the building was pretty well
over like it was a it was a big Yeah,
it was a big fire. So you got some information
about that. That's good to hear from you if you
want to be a part of it. As I say,
eight hundred and eighty Taddy and nine text, keep those
texts and emails coming through on this marvelous Monday where

(09:57):
the weather been. So I think it's pretty extraordinary right
around the company, which is great. Sorry I said company,
I'm in country. You get the drift. Just seventeen past
eight twenty one past weight, we'll talk about the chase.
Watch it's finished this with the final chase. Andy, this
is Marcus. Welcome you know March.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
How are you good?

Speaker 8 (10:18):
Andy?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Really good?

Speaker 10 (10:20):
That's good.

Speaker 11 (10:20):
That's fantastic. Hey, news presenters Top five. What about is
that Peter Williams or Williamson of.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It went he went went rogue afterwards, didn't he?

Speaker 10 (10:34):
That's right?

Speaker 11 (10:35):
And talks to another rogue.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah yeah, wow, Yeah, I don't know if he went rogue.
He just kind of changed channels and then didn't last
long and got the payout.

Speaker 11 (10:45):
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, he played the rogue. I
think they've played the rogue card. They got drop the
big salary and played the card. But those two guys,
Philip Sherry, I mean, is there a better set of eyebrows.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
And almost looked like the Eagle of the Muppets. He
was that good, that had that much sort of gravitest
didn't he?

Speaker 11 (11:09):
He certainly did. And Doog all the BEF sideboards.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I thought Doogle was beloved. I think the story was Dougal.
They moved from duned or they moved from William to
walk and he wouldn't go and they just said don't
come unday. But but he he he had that twinkling
as eye. He was beloved forever.

Speaker 11 (11:26):
Yeah, well that's right. He sort of was there every
night and then seemed to just yeah, no cameos or
I don't really remember. But Angela the Ordney.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yes, yes, yes, well she was quite a fullfiller on
z B also, and she didn't suffer full. She was
quite for those that worked with angel the Ordney, she
has hard work. I mean she she did he bute
from time to time, that was for sure.

Speaker 11 (11:57):
Yeah, well you know, but a New Zealand diva in
some ways very much so. A couple couple of movies
as well.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I believe that's right. Yeah, you up, you'll up to
scratch Andy. Who's your best? Would be? Doogle would be
number one? Would he?

Speaker 10 (12:12):
I think.

Speaker 11 (12:15):
When I think about growing up and I think about
TV icons, there's some that just stick out. Google's one
of them. Philip Cherry's one of them. I'll Selwyn too good.
I mean, there's been some. I even watched some reruns
of Somebody Prince Touie teesher the other day.

Speaker 10 (12:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
On YouTube, I don't think we've ever I mean they
talk about they talk about BEILITTI James, but he was
a bit of a song and dancemen and a comedian.
But if you see those old TV clips of the
Prince to Airport, it's one of the most extraordinary performances
you'll ever see.

Speaker 11 (12:54):
That's right, and I mean it's it's one of those
guys that from memory he could play pretty much anything,
sing to the crack a joke, is very talent. There's
a couple of guys on YouTube I've watched out laughing
some Alan Yes and there they've just got their own
style of humor and just really good, really good.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
But you wouldn't call them news readers say, would you endy?

Speaker 11 (13:21):
Oh no, I'd like to see them make it better
than lately.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
The other one was there was another guy's a week
in guy churchy, sort of a guy. What was his name?
There was a thing of taller older guy. There was
Philip Sherry, there was was it Bill?

Speaker 11 (13:41):
Oh gosh, I think I know the guy you may do.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think he is a lay minister or something, a preacher.

Speaker 11 (13:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is. It just goes to show
you know, these guys are in your faith four times,
five times a week religiously, and only some of them
stick out. And you're in your memory, So only some
of them stick out at all?

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Is there?

Speaker 11 (14:07):
Not many of them? And they don't do a change
of guards very often today?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Well, it's your job. It's there. It's just for twenty years.
What was that guy's name? It was Bill? Was it Bill?
You remember him?

Speaker 7 (14:25):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (14:26):
Geez, you got me, Marcus, you got It's right, I'll rack.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'll go to the alphabet myself and try and find it.
Oh Andy, yes, right, Tom Bradley. It wasn't Bill at all.
It was Tom Bradley, Tom Bradley, there we go. Can
you picture remember, tall and patrician.

Speaker 11 (14:47):
Looking, Yeah, you can't. What about that of the woman
Marcus to Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:56):
I think look, I think I think she's got the
I think she's got the right stuff. I like the
Petrie dish, Wendy Petrie. And I think Melissa is going
to be very good.

Speaker 11 (15:05):
Oh yeah, good good. I can't remember it was the
Queen of the Nation on the on the news or
one morning, so.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I think she would have been. I think she would
have been top half. I know she iver did it
at six. I can't even remember. That's how That's what
happens with memory now and can tell can they? I
think she did the six o'clock.

Speaker 11 (15:23):
She Look, if memory was perfect, there.

Speaker 10 (15:26):
Be no arguments.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
No, that's right. I don't know she How come you
know so much about everything?

Speaker 12 (15:33):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (15:33):
Look, I listened to the talkback a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Bit cheapest creepers. I always say, I always say the
first casualty of talkback is the truth. But anyway, you've
probably got it.

Speaker 11 (15:44):
Hey, you start, you started to start with hoskins in
the morning, roll yourself up, have a laugh in the afternoon.
Heather on the way home and then I listened to
here in the evenings and between that, I have a laugh,
have a cry, get home, and I'm pretty informed on
what's going on.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Brilliant, that's what we want to hear. Andy, I'd love
to Judy bated this Scott News. I can't Yes, former
news presented for one News. Yes, she was the it
was her and Richard Lynge. That was the dream team.
Love boys thought when the two head and that was
the great one you see. Always thought Richard Long was
one of the very very good ones, no nonsense and

(16:23):
never in the news, just reading the news and he
didn't kind of leave the teacher and then going I
don't know what to actid he did some did do
ads for a finance company that went bad. I think
he might have actually not his fault, of course, but
I think that of course some sort of scuttle. But
are we talking about the chase and your top five
of Keywer news presenters The mount Rushmore of news with

(16:47):
Simon Dower announcing his retirement at sixty one. Melissa Stokes
Cup she'ld be great what she got. There's a warmth
about her? Is there a warmth? There's something I think
it's a warmth. She's got a happy, trusting kind of manner.
It's weird that, I mean, people never meet some of it.
They think they're happy and trusting. That's just the way

(17:08):
some people come across, isn't it. Some people sound authoritative,
some people sound trusting. Oh wait to as the ooh
Marcus My top five news readers Judy Bailey, Philip Sherry,

(17:29):
John Hawksby, Richard Long, Kate Hawksby, don't like Dallo, Benny Gee.
I saw Google Stevenson last week in one of the supermarkets.
That's good to know. I wasn't sure. Well, once you
don't hear from people, you don't know if they're still
a lie or not. But clearly he is. Marcus. I've

(17:52):
just returned for a mad a few days in Melbourne.
I went to the Oasis cons. I haven't left the
country in forty five years and it was a crazy
time for the old girl. Loved it. Marcus doogal Andur
de Ordiney, Philip Sherry, Mother of the Nation, a rank
outside of Peter Impen. I've just left my job working
on dat Harton Bay and I've never heard of Siren.
Can't have been two major well the whole house is raised.

(18:14):
Get in touch. You want to be part of Hettel
twelve use readers and the chase. It was twenty seven
degrees in alex today. When I looked at the extremes,
it said Stuart Island had the strongest winds ninety seven.
You said in question for the chase, how many rivers
called Fox River in New Zealand?

Speaker 13 (18:32):
Was that on?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
It was that one that you're suggesting should be on it.
Hittel midnight tonight. If you want to be a part
of it, embracing your input tonight. Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty. I thank you, Nina, twenty nine to nine,
welcome to the show, monamers, Marcus, good evening. If you
want to partake, that is good. Oh eight hundred eighty

(18:53):
ten eighty. If you want to text, it's nine to
nine to They are asking locals and Ireland Bay to
shut their doors and close their windows as huge fire
rips through an Iden Bay home. I don't know if
there's a lot of wind in Wellington. Looks from the
smoke it's going kind of straight up. But you might

(19:15):
have some more information about that. There is a video
of that online. There are ten crews fighting that fire.
Our conditions are very windy and firefighters are working on
the Esperannard as well as on High Street, so maybe
the bush has become involved. We are talking about the chase.
It finished yet, Dan, how did they get They got

(19:37):
to fifteen and Higet he's about to start her chase.
Go and watch it if you like that, we'll discuss
what it was like, what you thought of that. Yeah,
that's what we're on about tonight and the Mount Rushmore
of New Zealand news readers. Simon Della was leaving. Where
do you put him on the five? I think probably
he will be the last of the great news Well
he would be the last of the Yeah, I think

(19:59):
probably the next year or two. I think probably six
of opolis will become For every different thing, that would
be impression that it won't be the regular fixed thing
that everyone in the nation sits down to watch. That's
just a no, I've not based on everything. That's just
I think probably the way linear mediay, I think you

(20:21):
call it linear media where youre tuned at a certain
time to watch shows. That's kind of on the way out,
I would have thought. Because you want to mention that
also tonight good. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
I hope your weekend was good. I hope you enjoyed
the baseball. I watched the baseball the final, as I
always say, best two words, best two words in sport
Game seven. It went slightly longer than I thought it would,

(20:43):
and I went to see Pike River at the end
of the ninth innings. It's a very moving movie. If
you get a chance again and see that with Robin
Malcolm and Melanie Lynsky are extremely well acted, and you
get a good you know, I presume most of it
is filmed in the coast. It today it looked like
the coast. It's got that sort of coast feel. It

(21:05):
feels like a very genuine kind of a production. So yes,
if you haven't got a chance to go and see that.
They I went to it an Invert Cargol and it
was a capacity session, which you don't see very often
that movies down here. And at the end of it,
people clapped, which I've never seen in a movie for
a long long time. The people have removed by It

(21:27):
looked like an elderly crowd. I wondered too, if some
of them had come down from some of the old
miners had come down from OHI to watch it. It looked
that that had a bit of a coal minery feel
to some of the people that watched it, but every
moving kind of And I haven't I haven't followed much
of the press around it. I don't know how the

(21:50):
families were about having their story portrayed, but I guess
that's neither here nor there. I guess it's a story
of two women and they had some input into it,
and it was their story. And he's removing Tor and
Helen Kelly obviously from the union she's involved in as well.

(22:12):
Of course she's on deceased, but Nectar playing her, was
Lucy Lawless is playing her, And yeah, it's one of
those films that stays with you. And Mellie Lynsky's extraordinary
because she's been in America for a long long time.
She must have been there since probably her late teens.
She must have been there for twenty five years. But
her accent and her demeanor and her yeah, she captures

(22:34):
an essence and something of New Zealand that's quite special.
Don't know how she's done that, but and I can't
imagine it was a huge amount, you know, if it
was a huge these Hollywood people, I mean she was
huge and yellow jackets, I don't know if coming across
here would be financially, you know. I think it's probably
something a movie she really wanted to do. We can
be grateful for that because it's a remarkable performance. To

(22:56):
go and see that if you get a chance, so
I highly recommend it. Haven't been to the movies for
a long long time, so I'm back on the movie.
Buzz thought it was great and it starts you know,
I just thought it was all good, going to be
about there, but it starts before. But I don't want
to spoil it, but you know what happens. Obviously it's
about Pike River, but starts before the explosion of the mine.
So it goes from their rite up until they have

(23:19):
the chance to re enter the mine and the two
of them go down. But then of course we know
they got to the drift and couldn't go much further
because of all sorts of things that are complicated. But
for them of the families, that was a victory. And
the victory was also that they managed to change the
law so you couldn't avoid criminal prosecution by paying money.

(23:41):
I'm pretty sure I haven't misquoted that. And that was
the whole situation with Peter Whittle and the three million dollars.
And I think, as I said at the end of
the movie, there is a still well there is an
ongoing police investigation which has not come up with any
decision yet, but that's still something that could come up
with it. So yeah, it was a very good refresher

(24:02):
of what had gone on since. Look, I only I
think I could tell you what year it was. It
feels like it was about fifteen years ago. Would that
be right? Was it twenty ten? I guess about this
time of the year too, I think, But yeah, it's yeah,
I think it was glad. I'm glad it was made

(24:27):
for all sorts of reasons. But hopefully it brought some
comfort to the family. I don't know whether it would.
I certainly hope it hasn't opened up old wounds or anything. Yes,
nineteen November twenty ten one of those things you probably
remember where you were when it happened. But talk about
the chase also, how they gone, how they're gone with
that Dan they won the money they lost by far
A couple of pushbacks if you want to talk about

(24:48):
the Chase also, that's just finished. Let us know your
verdict on that. I'd love to hear what you thought.
It's just four episodes. I don't know why they bothered.
I don't mean that in a mean spirited way, but
I mean, no one's going to start getting involved for
a show that's only a quise shows that only got
to go four times? Why would you bother twenty three
away from nine? His thoughts on the New Zealand Chase. Please,

(25:11):
it's just finished, the four episodes. It's kind of a
but contrived. It's filmed in the Australian studios with with
kiwis it happened to live in Australia. By the way,
someone asked about the Fox River because there's two Fox
Rivers on the West Coast, and I think, yeah, there's
some confusion with some of the footage that media was
showing today. There's one near Friends Joseph and there's one

(25:34):
through the north up near Punakaka of kemp there, so
that's where the confusion was. I think twenty to nine, Glennis,
this is Marcus. Welcome, Hi MICUs. How are you gleanness?
I am good thank you.

Speaker 14 (25:47):
I just saw the chase. I prefer Bradley. He's so
natural and so funny.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, there's a warp. There's a warmth about Bradley that
very few others on TV.

Speaker 14 (25:59):
Paul is okay, but he seems they're like you. It's
like acting, it's like you. I don't know, it's just
not there's no enthusiasm in his voice kind of thing.
It's sort of like, oh, yes, hello, good night, and
that was it, like have a good night, and it's like,
I don't know, it just can't get.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, I can understand that.

Speaker 14 (26:22):
Yeah, because he's so funny. Brutally he laughs with human
but he never laughs at you. You know, he loves
with you.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
He's got a good he's got a very good lean.
He's got a very good casual lean. When he leans
on that lick to and he just kind of puts
every one.

Speaker 14 (26:34):
Of these Yeah he does, and he's got sort of
like he can he can give the chaser a bit
of a hard time then, but they make a joke
of it, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, I thought it was funny. They just had the
two chases, but I guess it's for episodes. Why would
you bother with more.

Speaker 14 (26:46):
Yeah, will you watch it?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Will you watch again?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Not?

Speaker 12 (26:51):
Well?

Speaker 14 (26:51):
Is it it's barely going to be on? Or is
it's going to be in New Zealand all the time?

Speaker 5 (26:55):
What?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know because I'm not a big TV person
these days because too much going on. But I imagine
at five o'clock on TV and dead is the British
Chase and on seven and thirty one night a week
is the New Zealand Chase filled in Australia.

Speaker 14 (27:11):
And with the Melbourne Cup. That Rockeroo is the funny
name for a horsesn't it.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
It's not good they've got a horse rockaroo, have they?

Speaker 15 (27:19):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
That seems indecent.

Speaker 14 (27:21):
It sounded, but doesn't.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah about Rockeroo, I've never heard of rock.

Speaker 15 (27:26):
You see are you?

Speaker 14 (27:27):
Ce k R?

Speaker 2 (27:29):
And rocker Ro coming on the back straight rocker rough.

Speaker 14 (27:33):
It couldn't say Michaels. You couldn't say that fast, could you?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Rockeraroo?

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Liking it? Okay, Rockeroo.

Speaker 14 (27:41):
He's playing about seven dollars. I think I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Your punter little bit, Yes, a little bit always brings,
a little bit always be in most days?

Speaker 14 (27:50):
Is that there's no there's no Kiwi horses. It's all
foreign horses.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh what so?

Speaker 10 (27:55):
W is wise?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right? Is Ruckeroo the favorite?

Speaker 14 (27:58):
I think he might be one of the favorite chim Yeah?

Speaker 16 (28:02):
Is it a lot of Is it a.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Lot of Northern Hemisphere horses for a while? They're all
coming down and cleaning, wouldn't they?

Speaker 17 (28:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (28:07):
I reckon an outsider could win that race tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
I have a feeling where are most of the horses
from Japan?

Speaker 14 (28:16):
Uiss? I think I'm not sure Germany?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Really? Well?

Speaker 14 (28:21):
Yeah, so I reckon it'll be an outside of Marcus
and pay a bit.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Maybe Bucker who's playing nine point fifty?

Speaker 14 (28:28):
Oh no, Oh, it's not too bad. But but if
more people go on it, then the less it page.
You see, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Something like that all some great Britain. I think Bukaroo.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
Okay, I might go on him.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Let us know, let us how you go with that one?
I guess you can always shop. Oh you can't shop
rounder for the tab. You can't bet on the oss
TB now, can is it right? They got kind of
have we been geo fenced? Geo fenced seventeen to nine?
How is it going with the New Zealand chase? What
did you think that's one hour of my life I'll
never get back. Paulney to Zipper's mouth, Marc's River today

(29:07):
was beautiful, stunning acting and filming. Melanie and Robin actually
produced as was acting and it's so realistic. Melanie was
in the heavily creatures, which I enjoyed as well. About
to watch the Chase, Desiree des marterden the Chase? What
idiot thought Paul Henry make a good host for such
iconic showpathetic? Gosh, that's escalate, wow and use miss Matt.

(29:32):
What's this about? Marcus? Wasn't Bill Toft the TV presenter
and he's around the late nineteen sixties before my time,
b F T b MT before my time, someone that
should be called the scam, not the chase, Bill says,
Dello is number one in my opinion, sharp as attack
and obviously wasn't scared to toe the line and a

(29:54):
big defender of Wendy Petrie. Why to say a building
is raised when it's burning down with it's a word
for that. There's a word when it means, there's a
two words that mean the opposite. Contronym Top five to
Ordiney Barry Long Bailey Bradley, Hillary obviously Tom Bradley one

(30:14):
of the great Richard Long for me, But doogle you
want to put him in the top five? Yeah, which
weather presenter would be more memorable? Well, that's right, and
they've been through a few. It's not about that. It's
not about the I was hand over finance that Richard

(30:36):
Long was involved with. Yes, hannover finance. I lost money
with them. I think that's a Texter. I disliked intensely
Judy Bailey's nickname. No way did I consider her the
mother of the Nation. Remember Bill McCarthy, Yes, Bill McCarthy
was very good. I don't think she called herself the
mother nation. I think that was just a nickname people
came up with. I certainly don't think she considered herself
that free, humble person. Fourteen to nine The Chase, What

(31:00):
did you think come through quickly? Twelve to nine, we
are talking the Chase. It's just just in the New
Zealand version of it. Your response to that, Carol says
New Zealand Chase thoroughly enjoyable. Someone else, Marcus, first and
last time watching the Chase? Is there not worth the
hype they made it out to be. Brilliant. Someone says,

(31:25):
visited visited Veronica Allen's house of very humble weather presenter.
Who could forget Darren McDonald. How are you doing, Tigger
or Darren McDonald? Yes, I think he's rung this radio
station from time to time. Someone says best weather presenter
of all time Brendan Horran. Well, Brendan Horran is one
of those weather presenters. Sorry, Brendan Horran is one of
those news readers. Weather presenters that went on into parliament

(31:48):
with mixed with mixed results. I think Graham Thorn also
went in. Did Graham Thorne go into parliament? I think
he probably did. If I misremember that, I'm pretty sure
we went in. Yeah. National Party Member of Parliament Orni
Hunger from nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety three brilliant, but

(32:16):
then I don't quite know what happened after that. But
do get in touch with I talk about the New
Zealand chase, which has just ended. Marcus was built off
mentioned as a news read at the same time as
Philip Sherran, Dougal Stevenson. He was really good. Murray Putt
you doa yeah, but get your calls coming through people

(32:38):
about the New Zealand Chase. What you thought of that?
And your Marcus Bradley is a top tier present to
something about those UK presenters Chris Tarrant and Bruce Forsyth. Yeah,
well Chris Tarrant was extremely good. He made that himself
millionaires and it was unbelievable. I thought Paul Henry was
very professional and very well and news and Chase l

(32:58):
j valiant king for the Melbourne Cup. We'll talk about
the Melbourne Cup too. If you've got some back on
any of that, let us know about that. Nine to nine,
seven to nine, Carol, this is Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 15 (33:16):
Hello Marcus, just to say that we've come in from
our neighbor watching the New Zealand Chase and we were
very impressed with it. So well done Paulie. I think
he did well and it was interesting.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Have you got Carol, have you're not got a TV?

Speaker 15 (33:33):
Well, it's a big story that.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm up for a big story.

Speaker 15 (33:38):
Well, the thing is, look, our neighbors on our own
and we go in to give her company. So it
suits both of us to watch it and discuss it.
But we thought the program was good. So that's all I.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Want to say, and your neighbor liked it.

Speaker 15 (33:58):
Oh, yeah, no, we were generally happy with it. I
thought he was very good and the way he was
able to chat with Ann and no, quite impressed.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Isn't there the banter when you chat back and go
and Paul.

Speaker 15 (34:16):
He's would a weeb it so but that's all right.
He gives them time to think. And no, it was
a good atmosphere there there.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
And they didn't they didn't come away with any money.

Speaker 10 (34:30):
Did they.

Speaker 15 (34:31):
No, they didn't, but never mind. And the couple that
she couldn't answer, she sort of went a bit blank.
But then she came on board and she won, which
is probably best being her first time. And she's very
human and it's interesting having people of New Zealand and

(34:52):
mostly New Zealand questions and so.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Why didn't they have at I mean, how would have
Ann got up with you? Up to scratch with New Zealand?
She must done free wilder ones and New Zealand questions.
It's quite extraordinary.

Speaker 15 (35:10):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, and she's been chatting around here.
Oh well, I mean, let's face she's one of the
best chases, isn't she.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Oh yes, I like the other one. I like the Vixen,
the vixen. I think she's the smartest. I think she's
the one that gets the most wins, do you? And
I think there's the Irish guys quite good too, with
that strength cely string tie.

Speaker 15 (35:39):
Yeah I know, not Denis or some No, they're all
under the different types of people. But it's a program
we quite enjoy. And as I said, we're giving company
to out neighbor and we're using her heat and seat
of ours. Although it's not cold tonight, we're very warm

(36:01):
up here in Upper Haart and Carol.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Just let you know it's not on tomorrow the chase
the five o'clock one because the because the horses are on.

Speaker 18 (36:10):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 19 (36:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, so you've got between four thirty and five thirty
is the Melbourne Cup and then you've got deal or
no deal, which is a bit of a yawn.

Speaker 15 (36:19):
Yeah. Well thanks for telling me. But we don't go
on every night. We don't like to.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah intrude, Yeah, but.

Speaker 15 (36:28):
Mind you, we have agreed we'll have fish and chips
tomorrow night. We've got a good place here at Totra
Park and we'll get what we cry and have that
with her. Yeah, we like a bit of variety.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Well that sounds great. The fish and chips. That that
sounds like you're good brilliant. Okay, Wow, it was a
long story, but a great story. Thank you, Carol Hitdle twelve.
My name is Marcus Welcome Jeepers, Presage, Nocturn, Valiant, King, Verbarn,
Midai and top Picks. Marcus wires Chase Filmed and ours

(37:02):
because they're filming the Aussie ones. They just did a
cheap deal to get the kiwiwe film there. They got
the set and everything. Otherwise it would have been too prohibitive.
No money in TV in New Zealand, no money. Best
news reader the sixties British Voice of the Nation Ian Johnston. Yeah,
he was a good voice, Ian Johnston, remember him. We

(37:26):
had to talk about who New Zealand as great. Five
newsreaders were on the talk of the retirement of Simon Deller.
I guess you're still fooling to do something. No doubt.
They always seemed they never seemed to go fa. I
mean they're always there or thereabouts, aren't they. He might
eve ended up on the radio, would he? Who knows?

(37:47):
Fear if you come from there to do that? I
think it's what Peter Williams did. He ended up doing
radio for a while after after TVNS ed well, if
YI out of interest, this mightst be of interest to
you today. In nineteen seventy four was the trial or
daylight saving zuh summertime was reintroduced on a trial basis

(38:12):
to New Zealand this day and seventy four. It was
made Laura in seventy five. Then I think about nineteen
ninety we extended it. That's daylight saving, so that was
seventy four. So yes, it seems to have a very
big part of Malchi. I'll hold the excitement of that,
the joy of the turning of the clock. But it's
fifty years fifty one years ago now interesting to hear

(38:32):
there's more petitions about fireworks. By the way, I don't
expect Guy Fawkes will be big this year just because
of where it falls on the day of the week.
I think it's normally bigger if it falls on a
Friday or a Saturday. I was surprised, and I wasn't surprised.
I didn't hear any set off on the weekend. I
thought some people might have let them off. I think
they've got in sale until Sunday. Anyway, we are talking

(38:53):
about the New Zealand vision of The Chase, which aired tonight.
There's four episodes. Your reports on that, if you've got
a comment, I'll be curious what the New Zealand questions were. Actually.
The other thing too, is the movie Pike River, which
is good well watching. I don't know. I was curious

(39:14):
to know if you were someone that was from the
coast has seen it, or someone that followed it closely,
if you thought it was a fair portrayal of what
went on for those that haven't seen it follows the
Juney stories of two of the women. One is the
women played by Mellie Lynsky's who husband was called rowdy. No,

(39:42):
I might have that wrong, so I should get that
one right. But his husband was killed in the mine
and the other one was a woman whose son was
killed in the mine and the ex husband was in
charge of health and safety. So yeah, a very good portrayal.
And if you'd seen that and wanted to comment on
what your thoughts on that were, that would be great.
So it's a bit going on tonight with Daylight say

(40:04):
it was in The Chase and Pike River, and also
too Simon Dello has left as the newsreader. What you
thought of him, or not really what you thought of him,
but who you'd call is the great five of the
great news readers of all time. So if you want
to comment on that, also to get in touch anything
else you want to talk about tonight on this fantastic day,

(40:26):
whetherwise or certainly, it has been very very good here.
I would love to hear from you. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text,
do come through? Yeah, Enna Osborne is the character that
that Melonie Lynsky plays. And some beautiful scenery on the

(40:47):
West coast, the slowly old houses too. Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten nineteen nine to text, that's what 'ren about.
Anything else you want to talk about? I watched it
a bitt the rugby I thought jeeps creep? Is that
with a hard watch? One up? No great joy there.
Milton was the hustwoman's husband's name that died the mind.
Sorry about that. Of course, the rowdy was the other
one that had a big role in the show. But yeah,

(41:09):
Milton was the guy whom she loved very much of
removing and wonderfully acted performance. Incredible if I too. Of
our greatest actors, Robin Malcolm and Millie Lensky both extraordinary. Yeah,
anyway you did this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
I'm after some information, hopefully from you great. I worked
for a guy in Caddy Catty in nineteen seventy eight
or seventy nine, and he went to America to suss
out what the feasibility was of growing avocados and caddycat
And when he came back, he brought me back a
one leader bottle of Glen Village whiskey. And I wasn't

(41:53):
a whiskey drinking myself. So this this container got put
away in our house and as we shifted around and
moved around with us, it's now coming up to fifty,
getting close to fifty years old, and I wanted to
find out how I could track it back to see
how old it actually is. And I was hoping that
somebody out there on the ZB network might be interested

(42:15):
in this sort of thing and they might be able
to help us out.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
So you've got a bottle of Glenn Philick.

Speaker 7 (42:22):
Yeah, a liter bottle, never been opened, still in its
original container. Seventy eight or seventy nine. He gave it
to me, and you.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Want to know how old it would have been when
he gave it to you.

Speaker 7 (42:34):
Well, someone has told me that it could be. You
could could add another five years or ten years onto.
That depends when it was depends when it was distilled.
So it's a single mold old reserve. There's got quite
a few bits and pieces written on the container, and
there's quite a few emblems and things on the bottle,

(42:57):
on the bottom of the glass bottle.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Why don't you drink?

Speaker 7 (43:01):
That means nothing? Now, Well, I've got some grunts and
other stuff here I could drink.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
So old old reserve, is it?

Speaker 7 (43:13):
I don't say old reserves?

Speaker 2 (43:17):
A single malt?

Speaker 7 (43:19):
Yeah, single molt, pure malt, scotch whiskey.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
She said something else that sit on the peck?

Speaker 7 (43:28):
What did you say, see it on the peck? What
did I say? Old reserve?

Speaker 2 (43:34):
And I thought I thought you said something else as well.
I'm just trying to get I'm just trying to get
a reading for you to work out what it is.
Any one of those tube.

Speaker 7 (43:45):
Bottles, Yeah, tube bottle with a metal pressed in cap
on the top.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Okay, what do you want to do with it?

Speaker 7 (43:53):
I don't know what I want to do with it.
I just wanted to find out some of that. I've
taken it down to Happy a couple of nights and
then talked about it and let the guys down their seat,
and yeah, they all tell me to drink the bloody stuff.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
But what's what's hippy hour?

Speaker 5 (44:09):
Well, well, I.

Speaker 7 (44:09):
Live at a retirement village here at Ohao Easty and
about every Wednesday night there's about ten of us go
down for an hour and take a can down and
talk a lot of rubbish and you know, bring up
all sorts of subjects. And I took it down here
that one night.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
So it's like show and tell you take objects down.

Speaker 16 (44:25):
Do you?

Speaker 7 (44:26):
Yeah? Yeah, anybody that's got anybody that's got anything that
might be interesting.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
So what some of the other stuff people have brought brought.

Speaker 7 (44:35):
It's not so much as what the others have brought.
But they a lot of the guys that are all
into their like eighties and nineties now, and they've been
around a bit and just tell us what they've done
in the earlier days and all that sort.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Of stuff be interesting.

Speaker 7 (44:48):
It is bloody interesting, and they bring up some quite
good subjects down there when we only do it for
an hour and then we're on our way home.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Are you on the source when you're having the chat?
Is it the bar?

Speaker 19 (44:59):
No?

Speaker 7 (45:00):
No, we've got a little sunroom out on the side
of our village down there. Oh wow, And when they
have little meetings in that put us out there and
we'll sit out there and sung them. Yeah, so he did.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I think whiskey once it's out of the barrel, it
doesn't age further. It just is in a position of
statis so probably.

Speaker 7 (45:22):
Yeah, that's what That's what I was wanting to find
out someone that knows something about it. Would I either say,
you know, it'll be good forever, or someone will say, no,
it'll be buggered after twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
It'd be good to drink, won't it.

Speaker 7 (45:36):
It probably would be. It's a nice green, triangle shaped bottle.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
I thought you said the guy was going to start
making whiskey from avocados. What do you go to America
for to bring back avocados?

Speaker 19 (45:47):
No?

Speaker 7 (45:47):
No, he just went over to suss out the possibility
of growing them in Caddycat. Nobody was growing avocados in
in any number, and he wanted to find out if
they were going to do all right. And whether we
were going to go into them when he comes home.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And did he do it?

Speaker 7 (46:02):
Yes, he did, Yes he did. We planted a thousand
trees each year for four years and that's what he
wanted to get in four thousand trees. And yeah, it
was quite a good project.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
He would have done well out of that.

Speaker 7 (46:17):
Oh, yes he did. Yeah, And sadly he passed away
about ten years ago while he was overseas doing something.
And so this orchard got split up into four for
some of the family and sold some often the ex husband.
The ex wife was still looking after half of the orchard.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
So yeah, good to hear from you, Ted, Thanks very
much that sixteen past nine man of miss Market's welcome
hit twelve the Chase and Pike River. That's up your
Ellie tonight. I'd like to talk about that. Wow. Oh
e one hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine
to text. Tell your man to email the distillery in Scotland.

(46:56):
I went there thirty years. Would he have emailed your
reckon something happy? I would. Grant's Whiskey is a Glenn
Fddick subsidiary. It'll be fantastic. There you go, now, you know,
there you go. Hittle twelve if you want, if there's
something different you want to mention, been a big fire
in Island Bay and strong winds. I don't think by

(47:16):
looks of the shots will be much left of the house.
That's just happening as we're speaking. Also to the first
issue of New Zealand. Chase has screened tonight. I've asked
you what you thought of that mixed reviews so far.
If you want to add your input to that, I'd
be curious to know what the news is in questions
where you might want to ask us one of those,
see how we go on those. I didn't watch it.
I was at work. If I come through, if you
want to mention that also tonight. Anything else here to

(47:39):
twelve looking forward to what you've got to say. By
the way, people have reconsider about these hornets. They're establishing
themselves and then all sure people are actually trying to
make their own traps to help trap them. I think
there's five now. Yeah, so this is a big deal.
They're making nests. So I think you can make nests

(48:00):
from soft dring bottles. I think what you do is
you get oh yeah, it's a bit complicated. You need
a picture too hard for me to If you get
a soft drink container and you make it so the
bees can the hornets can fly and not fly out,
then you could catch them, I think, and you bake
them with vinegar, beer and vinegar. Maybe teed you could

(48:24):
use your whiskey. Eighteen past nine, looking forward, you called
Hitdle twelve hit A twelve talking about the New Zealand chase,
which you we'll also talk about your top five news
readers of all time TV newsreaders. It's been in. That's
been in a lot of people who were built top
very foddly, and I have no recollection of him, so
you do come through by that. Also the Pike River film, Yeah,

(48:48):
I guess most New Zealand disasters, you know, having a movie,
don't they. Well, City Ara Moana did, didn't it say?
This is another one in that sort of vein, but
always good to see her. It wasn't a very cheery film,
to be fair, but the audience appeared very moved by
it and applaud at the end of it. So yeah,

(49:08):
if you want to mention that, do come through very
extremely well acted. Actually, wouldn't be surprised that it's not
Robin Malcolm's Hollywood break with that one. Yeah, both very
good together and apparently they're both involved with producing it.
Didn't know that Hitdle twelve. Steve, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (49:33):
Oh, yes, I've got a bottle of cognac.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
He bought headphones.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
I laughed at my headphone slipped off, Steve, don't say anything,
hang on the back on now.

Speaker 18 (49:47):
Yep Cognac Yep.

Speaker 12 (49:51):
Bought Judy three in nineteen seventy unopened. Is it worth
doing anything with?

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Why did you buy it and then not open it?

Speaker 12 (50:05):
Oh? My late wife must have got it Judy free,
but she never instead of clean out of the spirit cupboard?

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Is she never drunk it?

Speaker 5 (50:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Why'd you buy it?

Speaker 12 (50:21):
Have no idea? I have no idea, but I'm just wondering.
You know you're talking about that old Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
It's a very interesting thing. A lot of people saying,
do you are you a drinker?

Speaker 10 (50:32):
Steve?

Speaker 2 (50:33):
No, don't touch it.

Speaker 12 (50:35):
I'll have a Guinness once in a while, but not much.

Speaker 18 (50:41):
I don't drink much.

Speaker 12 (50:43):
On the world. But no, I have had a little
drop of that Scotch whiskey and vintage stuff and it
was nice.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Okay, I'm sure it's all good. I'm sure it's good stuff.
I'm not a big drink of myself, but I'm curious
to hear. Okay, we'll find out more about that. Steve.
Thank you, another Steve too for Steve. Good evening, it's Marcus.
Welcome them.

Speaker 20 (51:08):
Yep, Steve number three. I remember you as a reporter,
and it's a vague memory of a couple of decades ago,
and you were not I think there's a nighttime news
slot that might not have been, but there was Simon
Dello and Alison Moore and used to do a segment

(51:29):
at the end of a new show. I'm pretty sure.
So you'd be like almost like a roving reporter, is
that right?

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yeah? Yeah, And Steve, you know how comfortable I am
talking about my past career, don't you, which is not
recomfortable at all. But yeah, yeah, you're right, You're right,
the three of us were there.

Speaker 10 (51:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (51:46):
I really really used to enjoy your skits, and I
always used to annoy me because there's at the end
of it, they'd sort of give you a thank you,
Marcus in a sort of a condescending way, like what
I really used to enjoy your your your story is
always a bit different and a bit eg and and
just that different, and they'd always sort of finish it off,
thank you, Marcus, as if it was a bit condescending.
And it used to annoy me because I used to

(52:06):
really enjoy your your little that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Yeah, it was always it was always, yeah, very enjoyably.
I mean I think, yeah, I think to be out
in the field is slightly more enjoyable than being in
the studio. To be fair, they're sitting around reading is
not my idea of fun. But anyway, yeah, I thought
it used.

Speaker 20 (52:21):
To come up with a really good done you know,
a really good segment for really good, really good stories.
Was that it was that an evening news.

Speaker 8 (52:27):
Show, dear it was.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
It was ninety four ninety five on TV two. It
was called news Night, and that would have been would
have gone for about two years, ninety four ninety five.

Speaker 10 (52:37):
Yep, cold.

Speaker 21 (52:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I'm gotta be careful, I say, because no matter what
you say, people have an argument with you, even though
you're on it. Tell you it was a different name,
or a different day or a different thing. And that's
when Cybon Dello first appeared on the tv TV's in
News in so he's been there since continuously since Well
that's thirty years, isn't it, From nineteen ninety four to
twenty twenty four, So years he's been there thirty years,

(53:00):
working his way up and then on the big show.
But look's kind of what you said, Steve, So thanks
for that. It's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (53:07):
Welcome, Amy, Marcus. This argument or not argument, this question
about the age of bottled look at in particular spirits,
brandy and whiskey and bourbon and that sort of thing.
If it says on the bottle that it's fifty seven

(53:28):
years old or bottled, and it's fifty years old, that's
the time that it's sat in a cask and then
it was bottled. So once it's bottled, it doesn't increase
its alcoholic content.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Okay, but wine continues to change in the bottle, doesn't it.

Speaker 13 (53:51):
Yes, yes, but the bottle will only last so long
as well as the court doesn't taint it. Well, that's
why they've got caps on them. Now that the mount
issue of how they work out the vintage. I think
most of them have the vintage pretty close and I
ate something that So that's why you some young wines

(54:14):
and some wild, oh wild.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
But he should drink. That shouldn't he try so again,
he should be drinking that I'm.

Speaker 13 (54:25):
Not drinking it. No, he should drink. He should he
should be drinking. Yeah, he should be drinking. That's right,
as long as the the the the cork or the
cap or whatever's got kept off. Some of them believe
cork and wax or something.

Speaker 7 (54:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
No, I'm not telling you to drink anything. You know
that you do what you want.

Speaker 13 (54:53):
He he does, and he suares it with the group
that it's got because that I wouldn't mind meeting with
that group at some times.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
That will be the right thing. Here you go, fellas,
let's get a laughing gear around. That's what you're reckon. Well, yeah,
what about that time? What about that time? Leowie? What
about that time? You know at your face Ki refruit
or whatever? Ney of this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (55:14):
Yeah, Hi'm Marcus.

Speaker 22 (55:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (55:17):
I was just thinking about you know, there've been advertising
at the Pike River and I was over there at
the time. I was over there and never got involved
in it, but I was in the service and everything
they helped for them, And I went up to the
mine even though we couldn't get and we didn't want

(55:39):
to go in, but there was a lot of people
up there at the time and that and I hear
that over the radio that there's a film being made
of it that I'd really like to see, or or
on in christ How can I go and watch a
film or a picture theater? Or is it on tell television?
Or what? Can you help me with that?

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Sure? What movies do you do? You go see the
movies at Hornby? Where's your local?

Speaker 12 (56:10):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (56:10):
The local would be Hornby for sure?

Speaker 10 (56:12):
Are the movies?

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Are there movies at Hornby?

Speaker 11 (56:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (56:16):
Yeah, I'm sure. Well, I'm not sure. I've never been
to the movies and Hornby.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
You know, that's one thing. It's a big ask.

Speaker 18 (56:22):
Okay, see I'm may eighty one years of age and there.
But I don't mind going wherever the whatever picture theater
is on. You can't travel around Canterbury. There's one at
Rollerston or.

Speaker 18 (58:27):
Yes, I've got a license. Well I've got every license.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
You won't need to take your tracks and trailer though,
just a car will be fined the way.

Speaker 18 (58:36):
Yeah that's all.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah, I reckon. That's for the best. It's now thirty five,
it's one hundred and thirty five. It's two and a
quarter hours long.

Speaker 18 (58:45):
Oh okay, I don't mind how how long it is.
I'll be there at twelve thirty.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Five, okay, and report back there before that. Yeah, yeah, okay, brilliant.
There we go, another happy customer. Gosh, someone sitting us
all their shots of their whiskey. Steven says, here is
my retirement shelf. Cheapest screepers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nineteen eleven, twelve, thirty and fifty. He's going to retirement

(59:10):
shelf about three three hundred litlves of whiskey. That's extraordinary
and is still probably want. Probably if we had guests,
would get some guy and that would actually value whiskys
and say what they're worth. Marcus the bottle. Then Fred
has to be in the barrel for three years before
they can bottle it. If someone get to a bottles,
who's twelve years it means it's been the battle for

(59:31):
twelve years. It can't age after it's been bottled. Yeah,
there were so how many these that was fifty years old?
Didn't hear the full story of it? Anyway? Twenty eight
to ten backzone twenty six to ten, Matt, this is
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 6 (59:48):
Remember back in the nineties they had those miniatship bottles
and everybody's dead and not really about four or five
inches tall. My old man, my mate's old man had
a whole cabinets followed him like there were thousands of
dozles and never found out where they're even open them.

(01:00:09):
And you would have realized that it was full of
water and tea cold teas because that's what we did
with fifteen pretty much cleaned about. Probably not not the best.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
There you go, Matt, Matt, how old are you? Are
you in your fifties.

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
Or mate?

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Okay? Yeah, I could never work out what the point
of miniatures was, did you? You never knew what were they?
Just what was the point of them?

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:00:42):
They were just collectibles? Yeah, but to you what they
hurted pretty well because we were preheman.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Oh no, I imagine that. I meagine you would have
drunk them. Yeah, but yeah, I've often wonder about that
because I know often when you went to mini bars
and hotel to their miniatures, because that was a good
thing to just have one. But I often you know,
it was a big thing in the seventies. People have
big shelves of miniatures. But I could never work out
where they came from, what the whole point of them was.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
I know that towards the age where we could buy
them legally, I was still selling them and made of
mind was buying them them. But I don't know. They
just seem to fade away.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
And they know where now. You never see them now,
do you No?

Speaker 6 (01:01:28):
Maybe they're all full of tea and water.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Yeah no, because I imagined this. Kids. You probably mixed
them all together too, did you.

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
I just got killed myself fai because I did. We
had no handle on it, and we just drunk them.
And the fifteen year old you shouldn't be allowed to.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
What can't you drink spirits a week?

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Well, it's been quite a good lesson for you. Met
If someone could ring up and tell me what the
background of militus, But I know that they are things
I can't work out where they kind of talked the
world by such storm. There even clubs for people that
collected miniatures. Is it something to do with airline travel?
Is that where you get them? You've given them on planes?
Is that where it all spragged from. It was always
a bit showy, wasn't people who have their miniatures? Yeah,

(01:02:22):
fifty mils. I think it was so. Yeah, it seemed
to become a big deal in the seventies, but maybe
that's when airline travel became a big deal and people
were coming back from trips with all their miniatures that
got from the plane. I'd be interested in that miniatures
eight hundred and eighty to text. If you want to

(01:02:43):
be in touch, Oh what do you reckon?

Speaker 11 (01:02:46):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
What are in the odds? All the keV goes to
the movies? Nev, I reckon it's almost zero. Yeah, it
did look like ten and three fifteen something.

Speaker 19 (01:02:58):
Dad.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
If we absolutely sure it's twelve thirty five, Dan's checked
on the Hoytz. You're sure right, you dands day, there's
no twelve thirty five tomorrow there is I think on
their website. They think they've got today, They've got tomorrow
is today. And I just now I think any other
movie would work for him, wouldn't it You get a

(01:03:22):
gold card discount or something? Could you get a gold
Head discount? Yeah, Bob, this is Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:03:31):

I thought i'd just give you quick down on the
old whiskey in here. Marcus. My boy frog my bottler whiskey,
which was Jack Daniels and took it to school. He's

Okay, well that's it because I wanted because that's that's
that's the pub that's in it. It's got that Bernie
Bernie someone that's right, Bernie Monk. Yeah, yeah, okay, Well,

that much like him. But that pub's still there. That
pub still there.

Speaker 8 (01:05:04):

thirty five session everything evening. Vara, this is Marcus. Welcome,
Hey Marcus, how are you good? Thank you?

Speaker 7 (01:06:35):
Hey.

Speaker 16 (01:06:36):
I just the miniatures. Like in the nineties when I
was a teen, one of my first jobs, I was
working in a quite a bougie hotel and they were
all the mini bar rage back then, all those little miniatures.
I don't even know if they really still do them anymore,
if I'm honest, but they were a big thing way

(01:06:58):
back then. I reached stocking in a hotel I worked
at which was in Puris, Meta and Top. They were
really big on trying to make sure they had a
local type of alcohol because people would take them home
as a collector. And I thought at the time was
there's never any empty ones of these bottles here if
people are drinking them and we're charging.

Speaker 10 (01:07:18):
Them for them.

Speaker 16 (01:07:19):
But they were actually taking them home as like in
the meso. Sure, So yeah, I didn't realize that since
I didn't realize it was a plain thing. It was
just I just remember in my teams there were all there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Kind of thought they were pointless, but yeah, what what
was the local liquor they had? Was that some sort
of coffee liqueur or Wilson's was okay.

Speaker 16 (01:07:38):
Some sort of liqueur. I can't remember the name of it,
but it was a local production and they had and
they would often you know, you'd have jim bean and
all those other randoms, but it was often that one
that was gone. So people did collect them, which I
still find weird.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
But yeah, the people began collecting those days. I guess
it was a bit like travel bragging, because I'd always
get match boxes from where they went, and teaspoons and
tea towels, and I mean, these days, what do you get?
You get different sort of stuff, don't you don't you
don't go for that ordinary stuff, do you? Okay, like
that vida, like all of that good on you? I
think to trick kef was it the local liqueure that
people are into. You're always trying to invent some New

(01:08:16):
Zealand the cure, But I think it's it never does
it never seems to go that well, does it. There's
always a great search for New Zealand the cure, like
a key with the cure alsan ghastly Kristin Marcus, welcome,
Oh hi.

Speaker 23 (01:08:29):
Marcus, what a show again? Very interesting. And I was
married to a Irish man from he was born in
the Cargol but of Irish Aristokra. Yeah, and Tyler Moore

(01:08:51):
Jew was a beautiful Irish whiskey. And I've got a
little container. Uh it's a crop, a little crockery tumbler
of talamore jew.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (01:09:14):
And you can still buy the little collectibles, but I don't.
I've just got my little cute talamore jew crockery little jug.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
I think it'd be fair. I think it'd be fair
to say, though, that minatures aren't big luck they used
to be. Are they?

Speaker 23 (01:09:33):
I don't know, because I don't. I don't purchase them.
But I've got my little, my little jug of talamore jew.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Brilliant. Nice to hear from that Kristen good stuff. Twelve
to ten. Oh, they've driven past that freezing weeks. I
wonder what that was there up the Annold Valley. That's
the situation where Bob must have worked. Wow, take a
big down the coast when the plate they call a playtime.

(01:10:04):
Ifore we took the whiskey to playtime. Brilliant anyway, welcome
to it, people, you want to talk eight hundred and
eighty you talk anyone clicked. But if you collected the miniatures,
you must have a minition. Some of you will have
done that. You'll collected Toby jug some of you will
have collected There are photos now the charred remains of
the house in Ireland Bay were the board house. It's

(01:10:25):
pretty badly burnt. Don't think it went on to the neighbors.
But boy oh boy, that was a.

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
It looks like it's fairly close. Looks like it's doubt now.
Marcus Grapefray was always I wanted to get on the
chase astrain. I wan don't have to pay for the
air fares, hotel taxis. Maybe there for a month. I'm
not going too much for a pincherer. I often buy
miniature drinks when I go to see my uncle in

(01:10:53):
the rest time, and always empty his tea out for
a miniature bottle of fifty meals of Johnny Walker or Jagermeister.
You would have pinch on a Jaga Moister. I suppose
they would. Anyway, what do you got leaving away from ten?
Begging a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:11:06):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Some very kind person has texted me and said that
the movie about Pike River is on at Silky Otter
in Wigram Tomorrow, which is a closer and easier drive
for Nev. But yeah, I don't. I don't reckon. I
think that's a lot there with Wigram and Silky Otter,

(01:11:27):
because he's not going to think soil God is a theater,
So I think we just sent him to the one
he's going to. I think that's probably makes more sense.
Seems far ranged outside the building and what's happening there.
But I've got to recket, and I think with the
food court, I don't know about Wigram. We're talking miniatures. Oh,

(01:11:51):
by the way too, what's going to be big? He's
what I reckon, it's going to be big. Paddington the
musical you're reading about that that's about to open in
the West End. Paddington the Musical and Paddington. They've never
known what Paddington was gonna be, but the Paddington is.
It's how do I explain this about sounding weird. They've

(01:12:12):
shown the Paddington. They've revealed what Paddington looks like, and
people think it's extraordinary. They've guarded for years the stage
direction of this and what it's going to look like,
but they've now had a first public showing of what
the bear will look like, because it's going to be
a musical. I don't know where the opening night is,

(01:12:35):
but the bear looks sensational. But it is two people.
It's someone that does the voice, and I think the
facial expression has done remotely, and it is a small
person who's in the Paddington Bear suit. Yeah, so I
think that's going to be a big show. So even
there's this hype just for the bear itself. But yeah,

(01:12:57):
I mean, the Brits love Paddington, don't They almost to
a fault. So you imagine Peoter be coming back from
England going on about how good Paddington was. Oh my god,
we just think Paddington, Oh my god, you would have
thought the bear was real. That's what the things people say.
I don't know when it opens. I'm not really a
Pennington beer fan, but I will be looking forward to Wicked,

(01:13:21):
the second part. I can't wait for that. I can't
even see. I'm good. I can't even see when padding
To the musical opens. Yeah, they're taking bookings for October
next year, but there's more hype than you've ever seen here.
I am booking tickets just to see when it's on.
We'll see even get near to that, shall we. What's

(01:13:42):
a preview though? Oh yeah, oh yeah, I think that.
I don't know when it starts, but no doubt we'll
hear a lot about that. I think I've said too much.
So we're talking miniatures, love to talk about miniatures, and
we are talking about the movie Pike River, and we're

(01:14:03):
talking about the New Zealand Chase, which preview tonight. But
there's only four episodes, so it kind of worked out.
The question is probably kind of why did you bother?
Whatever happened to all the charity clothing bins, they're still
out there that we might take on that I do.
Get in touch if you want to be a part
of the show, and here right through till twelve tonight.

(01:14:27):
I don't know why I said I've never done a
short sharp part for the time I went home, really
because the trampoline hit the house. Mikey Bibbon on from
midnight tonight, So there you go. That's for your listening pleasure.
He's from Along at twelve o'clock patting in the musical. Well, well, well,
be in touch if you want to be Barb. This

(01:14:49):
is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:14:51):
Listening Marcus, I thought i'd give you a ring. I
was just getting ready to bed, and you jiggled some
memories from when I.

Speaker 8 (01:14:58):
Was a child.

Speaker 24 (01:15:01):
I'm in my seventies now, and so I grew up
a wee while ago, and we grew up. I grew
up in London and my dad used to collect miniatures.
No idea what or where he got them from, but
he had a cocktail cabinet and they were all displayed
on top of the cocktail cabinet. And each week one
of my jobs at home was the dusting, and I

(01:15:23):
hated dusting that damn cocktail cabinet. All these miniatures of
dust it and put them all back again. So I
hated it. But then my brother, who was three years
younger than me, when he reached us for both his
early teens, he kind of worked his way to a
drink in the aws and doing the old wall and te.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Was your dad a traveler? Would he go overseas and
grab them?

Speaker 8 (01:15:45):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Was he that sort of person?

Speaker 24 (01:15:48):
No, But I've got another story and involved some form
of traveling. He was a truck driver or a lotry
driver as we called it, and he worked for a
chemical company and one week he would drive from London
to Manchester and he'd be away for three days. The
following week he'd drive from London to Scotland and he
was away for the whole week, which is quite nice.
And he would go to the distilleries to deliver these chemicals.

(01:16:12):
And when he came back from Scotland, he would always
bring back a stash of whiskey and he will be
decanting it on the kitchen table, and there will be
whiskey all over the table.

Speaker 9 (01:16:23):
And I remember dipping my finger one time.

Speaker 24 (01:16:25):
I'm tasting my god, that's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
What was it? What was he decanting it from?

Speaker 24 (01:16:30):
I can't remember. I was just trying to think. I'm
obviously some big container of some sort into you know,
into more regular sized bottles. I suppose selling them. I
spose little sideline or side.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
Sounds like a sounds like a great side hustle.

Speaker 14 (01:16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:16:47):
But anyway, it's just turned ninety nine last Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
He's still going. Well, that's will will you be seeing
him for his hundredth.

Speaker 7 (01:16:55):
Yep?

Speaker 24 (01:16:55):
My great granddaughter's already planning that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
One hundred, doesn't it Because you don't know who's going
to be around.

Speaker 24 (01:17:03):
Oh, no, no, but he just like I said, the sami.

Speaker 21 (01:17:07):
Round really good on them.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
I've got to go headlines. Thank you, Bob ten oh seven.
Good evening and welcome, welcome, welcome as that boyts will
it be? I'm veg and ken you talk miniatures. Someone
sent me a picture Marcus. These are some Dutch houses
from a flight to Holland many years ago. They gave
to passes as souvenirs. The chimney is a cork full
of alcohol in side. Think it's gin. I've attached photos

(01:17:32):
for you know, miniatures. I mean, honestly, miniatures were exciting.
The trouble the miniatures in After a while they became plastic.
They weren't quite the same. But yes, you've got a
many a house in the seventies and they had shelves
and shelves of miniatures, which is a child one was
obviously often quite fascinated with. But why did they become
a thing, And if people ever drink they want to
just collect them? I've got no idea if do we

(01:17:52):
any of these questions? And was it to do with
airline travel when they became popular that people would be
out and about. So if you collect miniatures, I'm sure
you do. They're being usin in Miniatures association, isn't there
if you'll get together at conferences. I don't know if
it's the thing. I'm seeing a lot of people on
Facebook Marketplace trying to sell their match box collections. I

(01:18:16):
think that was a big thing too, those folding match Well,
no one does that anymore. No one smokes or they've got lighters.
But if you collect miniatures, I'm here for the discussion. Also,
we had too about Pike River and the New Zealand chase.
These are just suggested topics. You might have something entirely

(01:18:38):
different you want to talk about. But I think we're doing
pretty good. Actually, now mum google it has been filmed
in Sydney, Australia. Another sad Kiwi pisstake, just like Clayton's
under Unbowling. Kiwis aren't fools, yes, now, we always knew
that the chase was filed in Australia, had to be
and us end of living in Australia to get on
the show. Marcus my son collects miniature bottles and has

(01:19:01):
well over one hundred, A good idea for gifts each
Birthday and Christmas. To add more when he was living
at home. I dust them with the hair dryer, much
quicker than wiping one by one. Get in touch on
to be a part of it. Apparently charity been Someone
said cherity bins have gone because people abuse them by
using them as a rubbish dump. Someone else said there's
no people to collect them anymore. Hello, Laurie, this is Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:19:23):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:19:25):
How you doing. I just wanted to tell you how
dangerous those miniatures were here. I used I used to
work for an Aussy brewery, traveling around the South Island.
I'm amazing. Well, we used to go down the Queenstown
quite a bit. Boys used to stay at the THC
Hotel that's quite a few years ago. Stayed there one night,

(01:19:49):
woke up the next morning and we were not very
well really, probably from dinner or something that went with it.
And we went to check out the next morning and
the the you know, when you went to pay the bill,
he said, did you guys have any thing from the
mini bar? Then didn't have anything from there? And my

(01:20:11):
mate said, oh, hang on, no, I think we might
have had something. So she said, I better give you this.

Speaker 8 (01:20:19):
Listen.

Speaker 9 (01:20:19):
There's a little list that used to tick up. So
first thing on the list was urban or something. Oh, yeah, no,
I think we might have had a couple of both.
So next thing on the list drums, Oh, I think
I might had a couple of those. Tick and tick

(01:20:40):
tick for the gym, tick for the vodka. And we
went through the whole bloody list and there wasn't anything left,
which explained why we weren't that well. So it was
a dirty trick on behalf of THC putting those in
the fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Yeah, because I don't think that. I don't think it
was I think it was market price. I think was
a high premium on the price should pay for them.
Was there?

Speaker 9 (01:21:05):
Oh well, well, luck the boss never used to quibble
about our accommodation bill, so that was okay. But I
still think it was a dirty trick putting them in
the fridge in the first place.

Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Where was the TCH in Queenstown? Out of interest?

Speaker 9 (01:21:18):
Right on the waterfront, Okay, right on the water front,
prime position. It's i mean, I'm talking thirty five year
forty years ago, maybe thirty four?

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Yeah, okay, is that where a Yeah? Okay, I just
kind of work out what is it with an overtellers.
Now you wouldn't know, now, would you, lorry your overseas are.

Speaker 9 (01:21:35):
You Oh, I'm just visiting.

Speaker 10 (01:21:38):
I'm we're on holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
Oh you're on holda are you going?

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:21:42):
Okay, well, it'd be right if the weather and Adelaue
was good. But we're about to last across the desert
to Perst, so hopefully it's going to get better on the.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
On the on the the Indian.

Speaker 9 (01:21:54):
Pacific, no, we've bloody driving with a carabean.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Or even better, any Pacific boy is stupid. Thank you,
lorry the minutes on the Inn Pacific, they wouldn't there.

Speaker 19 (01:22:05):
Hi, Paul, I had it going when I was about
fourteen or something and Wellington miniature bottles were very popular.
I used to buy them all the time. I I
even bought a kiss chess seat of miniature bottles. You
know they had.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
All really hang. I want to see that. What company
was that?

Speaker 19 (01:22:29):
What it was then? Wellington?

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
It was.

Speaker 19 (01:22:36):
It was it was a pub. Despite we go through
the the tunnel in Wellington, you know you tuned right,
you turned right less there and and the it there's
a bottle store that that that that used to used
to see.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
I am just looked online for for a chest set
for miniatures. Yeah it looks good.

Speaker 19 (01:23:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just got feed up with
them and I just got them all, gave them all,
gave them away, you know. Yeah, but the chest set
was too expensive at that time.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Could you collect it? Did you buy them week after?
Did you buy them week after?

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
No?

Speaker 19 (01:23:16):
No, No, it was one one package. It was a
full test. There was a full tested I got one birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
I've seen chest sets of the shot glasses.

Speaker 19 (01:23:30):
Yeah, yeah, but bus this was a properly chest set
with gong and you know in the bottom of them.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Okay, brilliant, Okay, I forget what the name of the pub.
Someone will know what that pub was called. That's on
the that's not on the town side of the tunnel,
the other side, right.

Speaker 19 (01:23:47):
Yeah, as you go through the big tunnel, you turn
to your left and you keep following your way. It's
round by where the council buildings are, the lower city
council buildings are. Yeah, it was very popular in those days.

Speaker 25 (01:24:07):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:08):
Good only Paul, thank you, Marcus. We don't have charity
bins and Canterbury we have bins run by Donnahie Rags.
Oh Yep, Marcus miniats could easy to be hiading, so
the perfect answered to events stopping bring your own. I
used people would smugle them. And I guess we are

(01:24:32):
talking miniatures, miniature bottles. Why do they become such a
big thing?

Speaker 10 (01:24:37):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
What happened to it? Why do people stop going mad
about miniatures? Or do they still go mad about miniatures?
These are some of the questions we are asking tonight.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty in the movie Pike River,
we are talking about that. Yep, there was a train

(01:24:58):
derailment as well today what that was? Breaking news down?
There's any more information about that? Nothing currently? No ah hah,
be in touch if you do want to talk. There's
other topics. But yeah, I'm happy you're on about miniatures.

(01:25:19):
I've enjoyed particularly if you collect them, some of you
will And how many have you got with little shells
in your room? You don't dust them though, don't you?

Speaker 11 (01:25:30):
Um?

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Yes, here was a big train to railment in England.
I'm not seeing any more about that. It was the
Glasgow to London train came off the reels at wheels
in the Lake District at Penrith. Not seeing more information
about that, but do come through if you want to
talk about miniatures or the chase or Pike River or
Simon Dello and who would be your top five of
news and the newsreaders. He's pulled the pin after about

(01:25:54):
thirty years at the company, nineteen past ten. Mikey bebbin
along from twelve head or midnight looking forward to your
input tonight people on miniatures Cup. So that's tomorrow, the
first Tuesday in November. Let no matter how much the
sweepstake at work is up to ten bucks is it

(01:26:14):
or twenty? I guess you will get eight horses in
your Melbourne Cup sweep steak with Dan and Nina. Look
for a gray to win if it's wet. Forgot about that.
So that's on too also, But there's no chase tomorrow.
They've canceled that for the Melbourne Cup, running of it
from four thirty to five th then half an hour

(01:26:36):
of deal or no deal. You almost think that'd stop bringing.
I mean, it's not the horse race it once was.
Is it used to be the horse race that stopped
two nations? I think now it's the horse race that
slows down the two nations or maybe one nation now
if you want to be involved with the radio show.
We are talking miniatures, I said, tweets old Nev. That

(01:27:02):
tweets hoyts Nev. Get to that it's the pike river
fell and be in touch with the show. If you
want a bad talk, there's other stuff you want to
mention it. By the way, this day in nineteen seventy
four New Zilllyn' got daylight savings for a trial, and
then the law was passed in seventy five. Also, it's
Guy Fawkes on Wednesday, or as enng of the Ordinary

(01:27:24):
would say correctly, Wednesday. I think if it's earlier on
in the week, Guy Fawks is not as big. Imagine
people hold five works of it till Friday and Saturday.
That's my prediction. NCA exams begin tomorrow and no more
Melbourne sorry, no more measles cases. Yep. It is World

(01:27:52):
Sandwich Day. If you've discovered anything new in the sandwich world,
always enjoy interesting sandwich that someone's got. And this day,
in eighteen eighty six, from a dairy factory in Pukakua, Waikato,
Henry Reynold's Law launched Anchor Butter. I was in that
dairy factor. He's not still there, but I'll check on that.
Pookikuta and Melissa Stokes will be taking over six o'clock news.

(01:28:17):
I think she's a beloved presenter. Yep, so that's good news.
They used to have two of them. Out's down to one.
I think she used to be the weekend presenter. They're
good on her. Hello, Kevin, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:28:37):
Hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
Kevin?

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
Thank you very good. Two topics I'd like to quickly
talk about, especially the Pike River mind is asked. Yeah,
my sympathy goes to all the members of the families,
of course that lost their lives. But my point is,
whoever signed off on the Pike River mine being a

(01:29:04):
mine instead of an open house mine should really take
a good look at themselves. Obviously, if we had an
open cast mine, this disaster would have never happened.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
And I don't think, I don't think. I don't think
the mine would have been viable if it was open cast.
It was so far under the hills, it was under
a mountain range.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
Oh, Marcus, of course it was. And when you finished
with an open cast mine, what do you put from water?
And what do we need water.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
So when you say, of course it was, that's not
my understanding of it. My understanding that was that that
there was a it was below a mountain range.

Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
Yes, okay, water travel Marcus, which way does water travel?

Speaker 10 (01:29:55):
Or downhill?

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
Well don't you know the answer that, Kevin?

Speaker 10 (01:29:59):
Well so do you?

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
That was from the second point.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
But I don't. But Kevin, what what point is that
about the which way the the water travels? What's that
got to do with it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
Well, you said it was at the bottom of a
maltain race, right, Water does travel down anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Yeah? Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Let's move on.
Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
Yes, yes, any predictions from you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
None at all. I don't know the field all. I
haven't looked at it. I'm not that interested in horse racing.

Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
I can tell that by your very negative.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
Not negative, not negative about it all. I think people enjoyed
the match and I often go to the horse races,
but just the Melbourne Cup in recent years, as it's
become taken over by Northern Hemisphere horses, I don't think
it's as nearly as exciting.

Speaker 4 (01:30:54):
Oh, Marcus, it doesn't matter where the horses come from.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
You know for a long time there were Kiwi horses
that did well that made us feel like it was
our race.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
Speaking of Kiwi horses, Kiwi did well up on you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (01:31:05):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Yes, and a number of horses have wonted.

Speaker 4 (01:31:09):
Now I'll pose a quick question to you, who was
the first woman to ride in the Melbourne Cup?

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
That's a very good question, h Do you know the answer?

Speaker 11 (01:31:20):
Adam?

Speaker 4 (01:31:20):
Do you know the answers? Yes? I do, but I
won't tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
It wasn't It wasn't a New Zealand jockey, was it?

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
I just asked who was the first woman?

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
So I'm asking you wasn't a New Zealand jockey.

Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
I'm not saying the answer matters.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
Well, I'm posing the question to you who was the
first woman to ride in the Melbourne Cup? It doesn't
matter what lest now she was?

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Yes, but clearly I don't know what the soubdron extend
the enjoyment of the guessing competition of asking if it
was a New then jockey? Do you know the answer?

Speaker 10 (01:31:58):
Do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
You know the answer? Kevin? Or you don't know the answer?

Speaker 4 (01:32:02):
I know the winner of the first woman to win
the Melbourne Cup. And her name was.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Michelle Payne on Prince of Pen's Ence.

Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
Correct, and she was the first woman to win the
Melbourne Cap. Yes, But the question I opposed to you
was who was the first woman to ride in the
Melbourne Cap?

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Yes? And what and what year was it?

Speaker 18 (01:32:28):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Two thousand and three.

Speaker 10 (01:32:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
I don't know. But she was a key ring.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Okay, thank you, cheap as creepers. Hard work, hard work.
My old ex public and great uncle was visiting from Hungary.
I drove him too, notathed went into the christ Stone Hotels.
We had breakfast all of black coffee. His view was
that you couldn't drink coffee without rum, so I took
miniature bottles of rum to the dining rooms every morning

(01:32:57):
to surprise, to the surprise of the waitress. You know,
Dan and I don't have a Melbourne Melbourne Cup sweep
steak Marcus. In the late sixties and early seventies, my
husband at the time the miniature whiskeys. He had a

(01:33:18):
notebook to make sure we didn't double up over one hundred.
The dimple one was my favorite. People didn't like Kevin much.
We came through a bit kind of Beligerant. I thought
that'd be my take on him. But yeah, questions fine,
but you got to you know, even not everyone's going
to know the answer. On fidget Spinner here til twelve,

(01:33:44):
my name is Marcus Good Evening. What yours miniatures? The Chase,
the Melbourne Cup newsreaders and guy fawks for starters. The
best part about the best part about the Melbourne Cup
is always the news story about about people drinking too

(01:34:05):
much and behaving badly, and there's always some shockers. It'll
be on the news tomorrow, no doubt. People lost their shoes,
lost their bags, the rolling around and shocker. I think
they've sorted that out at the Cup week in christ
Church because they had those risk things. I think they

(01:34:28):
had to do that because that woman that exposed herself
to the horses on the track, that wasn't a good looks.
You're hard your hard job living that down now jeepest
creepers at the time twenty nine past ten, here till midnight.
If you want to partake miniatures, I just think we'll

(01:34:50):
have to speak to someone tonight that collects them. When
can you swap them? Can you buy and sell them?
I'll check on trade me. I felt something I could
get into myself. Actually with no point whatsoever for that
do come through. Now you might want to talk about

(01:35:11):
the Pike River film rather than your reckons about that.
I think that's a bit decent to people. Not many
miniatures on trade we so it's clearly that the ship
well and truly has sale. I think with that one.
I look at antiques and collectibles. It is a nice
viniature Bailey's Vintage, Bailey's ninety five miniature cottage o'donna Hu's

(01:35:35):
five dollars. Wow, there's not many for sale there. Very
good text here a joke from Kevin Knock Knock, who's there?
I'm not going to tell you for every good fourteen
and four each way for me in Melbourne Cup, love
it a deck usually fest theatre's a good platter and bubbles.

(01:35:56):
I used to run the work sweep when I worked
in a store. Great fun. So people love it. Marcus,
you were so right. The Melbourne Cup was so speak
Shilton news in Australia. It was just horses from each country.
It's way too big now lost its class between our
two nations. Here here Jackie, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:36:16):
Hi, Marcus. I just wanted to say about the news readers. Yes,
and yeah, I not thinking about the lady that's been
appointed that I think I would have liked to see
somebody like Daniel Saitava or Jack Chaine, somebody different that's
got a lot more personality, should I see.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
I thought I thought she had a lot of person
I mean, it's hard to know. I don't know that
I've met her, but I thought I thought she had
quite a lot of personality.

Speaker 26 (01:36:47):
Yeah, she does. I don't know that. I just felt
that they would be. That's just my choices, that's all. Yeah,
it's quite good, and I like I like some mental
Hey is that the one that was on TV three?

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Yes, I think she's still there. She's a very got
a very warmson presenting styles and she Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:37:07):
And I just thought it's good to have somebody different.
There's nothing wrong with the US that you know, well,
miss Simon, because you get used to it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Yeah, what was she ever on Breakfast? Melissa? Was that
what she did?

Speaker 26 (01:37:19):
I think she she fills a on Breakfast? But I
watched I watched Ryan now Bridge because I really like
that program because they have so many different parts to it.
The morning shows.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
You know, I can't work out where that is. It's
not TV.

Speaker 26 (01:37:36):
You have to go to YouTube, right, yeah, that's where
it is. It's complicated. And if you go to YouTube
and it's the Herald page. But he has a lot
of interesting different people.

Speaker 5 (01:37:49):
You know, are you watching it?

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
Are you watching in a tiny little box on the
corner of the paper, yes, oh, good on you.

Speaker 5 (01:37:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:37:57):
If I do it on my TV, I've worked that
out now I'm not, you know, a smart Look.

Speaker 2 (01:38:02):
Look at you working that out and watching YouTube on
your It's a changing world, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (01:38:06):
It is?

Speaker 16 (01:38:07):
Really?

Speaker 5 (01:38:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
Please, he's doing well.

Speaker 5 (01:38:11):
Yeah, how long is it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Because on the radio as well.

Speaker 26 (01:38:14):
Is he Yeah, he's on at five o'clock, five to six,
you knowed Kate Hawksby's to do this, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
And then he studied, right, well, it's a long day for.

Speaker 26 (01:38:24):
A Herald and he does it from seven to nine cheapest.
And the thing is, what's really good about a master
Here's so much information about all the different people, like
the business, best, all sorts of people that are involved
with writing during the best people that do podcasts for
the hero It's an interesting program.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
Well, good stuff, Jackie, Okay, thanks for that. There we
go twenty six to eleven here till twelve. It's always
good to talk about a media. Did I hear correctly
that the New Zealand Chase that was on TV one
tonight was actually filled in Australia? So the New Zealand Chase,
there's only four episodes. The conditions were you could audition,
but you had to be a New Zealander living in Australia.

(01:39:10):
So clearly they just borrowed the Australian studio film four
shows with Australia New Zealanders that were living in Australia
or Australians that sound like New Zealanders, and that was it.
So it shows no commitment I don't think too them
being a permanent New Zealand to chase. And they just
had two of the chases, the Nerd and the Governess. Yep,

(01:39:35):
So how'd it go for you, Peel if you watched that?
Let us know anyway, and Melbourne Cup if you got
some advice. Twenty five away from eleven, still very keen
to talk to twenty one that collects miniatures and can
explain to me why they became a big deal when
they did become a big deal, because not you mean

(01:39:56):
you never see you never see them anymore, do you know?
I mean it was the last time he saw a miniature.
They still have them in mini bars. Haven't seen them
in mini bars recently, So, yes, we had. I don't
know how we gone to min and it is Oh
we've got to talk about alcohol and so much to
how much their bottle of whiskey was worth that we
pivoted to miniatures, and I said, what are they about?
For a while everyone's collective of but now no one does.

Speaker 5 (01:40:21):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
I presume the contents they've left them on the top
of cupboards and the contents has faded. Also quite right
with that, I think I probably am. And then the
Chase and the Pike River movie. If you're to these,
any of these topics is good for you. There's something different. Yeah,
I'm not fussed tonight. This is the day in nineteen
seventy four when us it and got Daylight Savings second
go around. I think we had it during the war,

(01:40:42):
but they brought it back in seventy four for a
year's trial, and back permanently in seventy five. I'm also
hearing the news that the SPCA is putting another call
for the banning of fireworks, but I think they realize
those petitions don't work because, as I said early, no
government wants to ban fireworks because I think it's interfering

(01:41:05):
with people's private decisions, and there seems to be a
no government's loath to do that these days overreach like
when they being cats and dairies and when they try
to legislate about how much pressure your shower could have,
people didn't react well to that. That's my take on that.
Twenty from eleven. I'd be a part of it. If

(01:41:26):
you want to talk on air tonight, anything else you
want to mention you might be doing something interesting. What
if you've got it's Monday? Would love to are still
three hundred houses without power by the way down south?
So yep, that's still a disaster as far as all
that goes. Now, what I'm excited about when that Central

(01:41:48):
rail loop's going to open. We've got a date for
that yet. It's going to be a big day, isn't it. Anyway?
Looking forward to your calls twenty away from eleven eighteen
to eleven, Johnny, This is Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:42:01):
Welcome, did you say, Johnny?

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Yeah, Hi, Johnny, that's your way.

Speaker 5 (01:42:05):
Oh yeah, sorry mate, I thought there was another caller
in front of me.

Speaker 10 (01:42:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:42:11):
Hey.

Speaker 14 (01:42:11):
Look.

Speaker 5 (01:42:12):
I sat down yesterday afternoon, turned on the TV and
watched the Tongan Kiwi game rugby League game at Eton Park.
I'll tell you what, it was spellbounding that whole afternoon.
After the game especially, I still hung in there with

(01:42:33):
Sky and I watched the wash up of the game
and I was just amazed that just the spectacle that
it was. It must have been amazing to have been there,
and I just thought what it was just so fantastic,
you know, the lead up to it, the harker I'm

(01:42:59):
not sure what the Tongan's called there, their wall dance.

Speaker 10 (01:43:03):
If you like.

Speaker 5 (01:43:05):
And then the the singing of the anthems. The Tonguean sung,
well obviously a lot of well they all live here
in New Zealand. They sung the Keywi national anthem as
well as their own, and it was just it was
just amazing, you know. I just I was spellbound by

(01:43:25):
the whole thing all afternoon. And the Sky presenters, one
of them was Shawn Johnson. I could get the other
two one's the next key here as well, and the
girl that was doing it down on the field afterwards
interviewing all the players. It was such a spectacle. Now

(01:43:50):
this morning, I wanted to hear the wash up of
the weekend sport on One's EDB and I forget is
the guy that does the breakfast show. He has three
guests on all right and their sports for the enters
on TV. One of them's the soccer, the guy that

(01:44:12):
calls the soccer, and the other ones I don't know
where he reads the sports on TV one. Anyway, he
had them and they were doing a wash up of
all the sports. I was just I couldn't believe that
the tongue game didn't even get a mention. All that

(01:44:33):
was mentioned was the All Blacks, the soccer.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
And Johnny that All Black match was diabolical.

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
Look, I you know, the first twelve minutes I watched
it was probably one minute of actual running rugby.

Speaker 8 (01:44:52):
It was I just.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
I just got a couple of things to say. And
it's a fair point because it wasn't celebrated as much
as it has been. I didn't watch it because I
was watching the Major League Baseball because it was Game
seven and they are the two greatest words in sport
is game seven because it never goes to seven match,
so that was compelling I watched that. But I do
get the sense because of course the Ossies are in

(01:45:18):
England with the Ashes playing the England there and it's
been a bit of a dud. But this series, this
series compete with four years ago because so many of
these matches in Australia, this is going to be as
big as State of Origin these this Pacific because you've
got lequ of the RecA, you've got Tom, you know
that the caliber of those teams, I reckon the Assies

(01:45:41):
will be preferring these matches and getting more out of
these matches, and they will with the Ashes tests because
this is the cauldron of rugby league these you know,
and the Aussies as well. But for those for when
Tomlilo and those players first went to go to play
for the Islands, that's changed it forever. And now look
who they've got. They've got everyone, haven't you know?

Speaker 5 (01:46:02):
Well, it's it's now such an even competition because I
mean next week, which actually I'm a bit baffle by.
So the game, the final will be held in Sydney
and Australia aren't even in this the Pacific competition, but
I still think it'll be amazing in Sydney. The amount

(01:46:25):
of Sarmons that live in Sydney and the Kiwi based, well,
the Kiwis that live in Sydney, I think it's just
going to be huge. I'm just so overwhelmed by the
Kiwi game and the way they're playing their football, but

(01:46:45):
not only them. I think the competition overall has been
reasonably even, even though there was a bit of a
thrashing yesterday obviously, but I just think the spectacle itself
with the girls playing first, the Kiwi girls played the
Australian girl.

Speaker 2 (01:47:08):
And made meet the what was at school, Johnny was
a threshing.

Speaker 5 (01:47:12):
I think it was only about six points to this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
That's great. That's great because it was.

Speaker 5 (01:47:17):
It was competitive, and I think next week, after this
run against the jewel Us, I think they call them right.
I think next week it will be it will be
even better spectacle. I just think the whole thing has
been amazing, has been so competitive, it's been running football.

Speaker 19 (01:47:39):
It's Johnny.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
We've got to acknowledge that even though it hasn't been
supported as much as we've thought, it's a lot better
than it was four years ago, and that you know,
people are getting behind it.

Speaker 5 (01:47:51):
No, I disagree. I think it's been supported in regards
to I will at the games. The supporters have turned
up and them on game.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's better supported.
It's you know, it's sorry. Better are you in Auckland?

Speaker 5 (01:48:08):
No, I live in the hockey younger in the far North.
I lived straight opposite of Eden Park. The only time
I crossed the road to go to a game at
eden Park was the cricket. Oh, I am the Nines League.
I was born and bred a league man in Auckland.
I played the game for hell of a long time,

(01:48:29):
probably too long. And I'm now up here where the captain.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Yes, yeah he's from there, he's from He's from Coco Coo.

Speaker 11 (01:48:40):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (01:48:42):
Yes, just across I'm in a little place called Kotu
and I can look across the other side and yeah,
not quite see it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
But hey, George, I think there was a fairly serious
hit knock there. I've seen some coverage about that one
guy's did you see about that one guy head opera
train operation which was unfortunate.

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
Well, he was the he played for the Warriors, went
over there to Melbourne Storm, one of the best best
players on God they escapes me. He gets an injury
in the warm up head clash. He goes down. Apparently

(01:49:21):
the doctor said he was okay to continue in the
game when it kicked off, and then he has another
two injuries head injuries during the game, and then he
has a seizure.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Off it was k I think I saw Moses THEODA
just stopped him dead. Awesome player, Yeah, yeah, awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:49:40):
Player, awesome guy. Yeah, which was really sad to see.
But I see today the key we boys got together
and you know, send out their best wishes to him,
and I just like the whole feeling of all the
vibe that's going around.

Speaker 2 (01:49:58):
I agree, John, I'm going to run, but I agree.
And Tarlie, did I do everything You've said? Nice to talk.
Thank you ten away from eleven seven from a even Pete.
This as Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:50:09):
Yeah, Marcus, congratulations. I'll see you officially up on the
site now that the the Cargo councilor really well so
I think you'll. I think you will do well for
the counsel. You got you know, you've got common sense
and that's what other counselors need. So I think you'll
do well for the for the province and the community.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
I've got on you going to the website. Don't even
know the head one with people photos up there.

Speaker 22 (01:50:33):
Yeah, that's all there. The Cargo City Council's all there,
all the other councilors and the all there.

Speaker 2 (01:50:39):
You thinking you're moving here, are you?

Speaker 10 (01:50:42):
No?

Speaker 22 (01:50:42):
No, no, I just thought that. Congratulations, it's quite you know,
at a time you spent a lot of time become
a council just getting going to the process, and you
got there. So congratulations and crossing the line.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
You know, I thank you.

Speaker 22 (01:50:55):
But what I've wrung up about really is that fout
the Guy Fork side of it. You know, I'm not,
I don't. I don't want to sound like a party pooper,
but I still I still reckon what's going on now
with people's pets horses and that horses breaking their legs.
I reckon, don't band it. Still do what we're doing now,

(01:51:16):
have the three day sales so you can buy your
guy Fox going to being up like Australia with his
name Guy Fox at all. But our climate's getting dryer
here when you plumb up to the seasons are getting
dry or no that water restrictors and that I personally
reckon what they get. What the government should do is
whatever time period they decide to do, whether it's a
week or two weeks, they buy their fireworks, got three

(01:51:39):
days that's already in, which is a good thing. And
then after that you've got two weeks go for it.
Let all your fireworks off and that's the end of it.
And then it's only community to the space. And that's
why you don't have to worry about your pets anymore.
If people let the guy fox after that period of
the government introduces, there will be prepercussions for that's.

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Hard to enforce, isn't it.

Speaker 22 (01:52:04):
No, No, I don't reckon. They do in Australia, and
that's why can't we do the same here.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
We can't bother in my states. But otherwise someone's sitting
off rockets on the farm. What are the police supposed
to do?

Speaker 22 (01:52:15):
Well, it's pretty obvious, you know, if you know where
you've got a farm, you know you know. Well another
thing too, a few fire crackers say my saya, hi
firecrackers and I light them off? And rockets whatever they
enough on your property. They we do houses down and
they can prove and you've caused the only one that's
in the enabled that's letting those fire crackers off. You

(01:52:35):
have caused the fire. You've seeing them the bill for
the damage or your house spoons down or whatever, and
then the fiber gate and you and your insurance. You
see an insurance bill to then it's like it's like
your car, you.

Speaker 2 (01:52:48):
Know, if you go, you go, Okay, I'll live there.
Its work. Well, I like to try to get a
Brian before the news. But thanks Pete Hio. Brian, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

then congratulations being.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
All good down here, Brian? But thank you? Yeah, all good,
all right?

Speaker 21 (01:53:06):
How many miniatures would you like?

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
How have you gone and where did people start collecting them?

Speaker 12 (01:53:13):
Well?

Speaker 21 (01:53:13):
I did spend seventeen and a half years with the
New Zealand Army and I used to be a fish.
Okay if I drank like golf. But when you're away
overseas you bought little miniatures. Ninety nine percent of them
are still in tact and never being opened.

Speaker 2 (01:53:34):
Goodness, how many have you got?

Speaker 21 (01:53:36):
I had them two eight hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
Oh brilliant, that's there the caller for us.

Speaker 21 (01:53:41):
I had them on trade me at one part. I
only put twelve grand on it, and everybody wanted, oh,
we only want that, we want that. So I pulled
it off and I said, excuse the language I'm buggy
is I'm not going to sell them.

Speaker 10 (01:53:54):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:53:56):
How did you say?

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
How did you say again?

Speaker 21 (01:53:59):
Two seven hundred and seven hundred and eighty?

Speaker 10 (01:54:02):
I think it is?

Speaker 2 (01:54:03):
Are there any that are more? Are there any that
are really valuable? Or are they're not? Whatever?

Speaker 21 (01:54:10):
Okay, I've got the ten folds wines, all all them
in New Zealand they've gone ten folds no longer existent.
I've even got a little miniature of the New Zealand
Navy run a little bottle DV. But when I was

(01:54:32):
away overseas, you picked up you around Egypt, and when
I say Egypt, in the Middle East, you had those mosques. Okay,
you've got little bottle, little bottles with their little piece
like the mosque and all that. Oh, I don't want
to tell them, and you know, the grand kids come there.

(01:54:59):
I don't drink anymore, thirty years since I drank. But yeah,
I don't know. There's a good, good collection. As I said,
I had them on trade me. But can I say
that people wanted I only want that little one, that one,
that one. They didn't want to buy the whole collection.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
Fantastic. I'm so pleased you've come through, Brian. That's made
midnight with you with two over two thousand. That's unbelievable.
By the way, Christmas tree, seven hundred and fifty dollars
for a four meter tree natural one. It's a lot,
isn't it cost anywhere? A country full of wilding pines.
Good evening, Jack, This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:55:40):
Good good evening Jack. I was just up about they
talking about the Pike of the Mind. Yeah, sure, and
I was, I come from the coast and I used
to go down on the go fishing when I was
a youngster, and along the on the I see it
one day and the said, I saw the captain of

(01:56:03):
the ko Kiri. There was a collie that used to
go to Wellington. And I said to the captain, I says,
do you ever take anyone away on the ship? And
he said no, he says, not in this ship. He said,
you go on the other ship. Ship's the anchor company ships,
they'll take you away, maybe young chap, but they said
not on the ship, and never ever take any ring balls,

(01:56:26):
even amongst the seamen. And I said, why is that
and he says, he says, because they're deaf traps. And
they were putting a big porthole. I said, what's that
point and he said, that's a porthole and he says,
I said what's that point? He said, that's to escape.

Speaker 10 (01:56:43):
And they that.

Speaker 25 (01:56:47):
I went on board and had a look over the ship,
and the young chap took me around. They won the
crew and gave me a meal and what not, and
I said, well, what's the story about the deaf trap
and he said, well, he says, it's only one The
reason for that in the porthole. There's only one way
out of these ships, he says, and that's you're down
the next deck. He says. It's a long and alleyway,

(01:57:10):
he says. And he says. The trouble is to get out,
and they put I said, how long do would you
have to get out of a ship like this? And
he says they did a test on it. He said,
that's why they put that porthole. They were eaten. That
ship would go down in six and a half minutes,
and they that the co Kerry.

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
How's it? How's how's it spelled?

Speaker 11 (01:57:35):
Jack?

Speaker 25 (01:57:37):
Pardon?

Speaker 2 (01:57:37):
How's it spelled?

Speaker 25 (01:57:40):
Or they used to call it the co Cocherine? Now
they can they call it?

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
But how's it?

Speaker 25 (01:57:45):
Ko? Sorry? It's k O R I are I? And
that used to be the Welsome Collier. It's used to
load coal on the west coast Wellington. And she had
an explosion in Willington, just off just off ware the

(01:58:05):
pict and through he cos in and there was two
two got seamen got killed the deck ordery semen in
and the boats and got killed on it one and
got blown or they've never got the young chap's body,
but the overture got blown over the funnel onto the
after deck and the skip was badly injured, and the

(01:58:26):
chap on the wheel. And they didn't last all that long.
They they weren't allowed to go to see again. They
worked around the port and they both died, not not
all that long afterwards. But I don't know how many
other people that defected, but they they they they done
her up and they sold her and she went down

(01:58:46):
sunk with all hands and the other one the kai
Tawasa call for for they go up to one garay
and they got made a from her and she she

(01:59:08):
sunk it. You never ever heard anything about it about
the colliers. They used to take a call from the
west coast, and she said that she rolled over and
there's twenty seven from the skipper to the deck boy,
it was seven, yeah, twenty seven went down with her.
And yet they never I've never ever read all these

(01:59:31):
stories in the in the books, and that they always
say about the four killed there three killing, but you
never ever heard anything about the about the Kaitawa or
the co curried. But they both got the two colliers
that used to go down.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
There's always been quite a bit of writing about the
Kaitawa and what happened. I think.

Speaker 25 (01:59:52):
It probably you don't ever hear anything more about.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
Yeah, well I've been a long time ago, now, isn't it.
I mean there's there's a lot of information about the
thinking of it.

Speaker 10 (02:00:01):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
It was on that that the Pandora back, wasn't it
up off the spirit year?

Speaker 11 (02:00:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (02:00:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she rolled over something up there year.
But I went away for a trip on the Toatra
and we going up through the straits. I only got
as far as Maype. I didn't go any further. Oh god,
it's murder. The seven didn't worry about it, but I

(02:00:29):
was cross. The thing was near rolling but never stopped rolling,
you know. And we got up through the straits and
I saw the kokrey going into Welmington. Made us way
to Welmington and we went past, and we went past.
Frederick went under the skip on the tow tree and
went over quite over close to the cocherry. And she

(02:00:50):
was up in the air and then she went down.
She was right under the water just after back part
of the ship was. The rest was under water. Oh
for good when they call her a death trip ship.

Speaker 2 (02:01:05):
We were were you where were you brought up on
the coach Jack?

Speaker 25 (02:01:09):
I was doing gray Mouth, Oh yeah, m And did
you say.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
Did you have something to say about the Pike River?
You just want to talk about shipping disasters?

Speaker 25 (02:01:18):
I know, I was just I just I just just
thinking about it, you know. I just so you think
about these things and you forget about them. Other people
you never ever heard them.

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
Well, the thing that was I think that surprised me
about the Pike River movie, you know, I'd forgot twenty nine.
Is a lot of people, do you?

Speaker 25 (02:01:36):
I think there was twenty seven on that I might
be wrong, but I thought there was seven.

Speaker 2 (02:01:41):
Yeah, I thought it was twenty nine on Pike. But yeah,
if you think twenty seven, maybe was it twenty seven?

Speaker 25 (02:01:45):
You think I could be wrong? But I the same
number as Kai Tower. Yes, Ka lost twenty seven. OK, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01:55):
That's what It's a good movie. Jacket's worth seeing. I
think that you would. I don't say you'd enjoy it. Yeah,
it was twenty nine. I don't want to get an
argument with us to say twenty two past eleven something
that's self assured. Marcus. In the only seventies I worked
at a receptionis to the hotel in Dunedin, also to
serve in the bottleshelf. I started clicking miniatures and end
up with over three hundred. Being in a fitting situation.

(02:02:19):
A party was in full swing one night and I
ended up with no more miniatures. I'm sure a lot
of people have done that, Marcus. My grandfather and I
drank his collectus of miniatures from under the old bar
in the living room when he was eighty six. Last
thing I remember is be on the kitchen floor, opening
my eyes and seeing him standing over me, laughing at me,
calling me a lightweight. It's been World War twe on
a mind sweepers a signal, and then most of his

(02:02:41):
life on the West Coast for ended railways. I reckon.
We drank the lot there over one hundred. He passed
away in two thousand and four and used to visit
occasionally after that.

Speaker 14 (02:02:53):
Do Do Do Do Do?

Speaker 6 (02:02:54):
Do Do?

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
Wow? Marcus and is in and Chase lacks something. It's
a bit slow, just lack zing. It might improve as
it goes on. There's only four episodes, and they would
have played that. They would have played the first episode
the best episode first. It's not film, lie, they're all
in the can. They would have just chose them one
they thought was best. We're talking miniatures, the Chase and

(02:03:18):
Pike River. Someone said the questions were far too easy.
Bring me up and to me. Some of the questions
head in questions were I'll be curious to know about those.
I might end up watching it on pay per view
or whatever it's called on delay. The questions were far
to weeezy in too many New Zealand ones. Marcus in
eighteen sixty seven, the Melbourne Cup was won by the

(02:03:40):
favorite Tim Whiffler. Another Tim Whiffler in the race was unplaced.
Commentator called the Melbourne Tim and Sidney Tim Chase disappointing. Hi, Marcus,
I tended to screening of Pike Rivensden recently after the movie.
There was a Q and A with Robert Saks. Had
the honor of listening to two incredibly blaved women, Anna

(02:04:01):
Osborne and Sonia Rockhouse, who were still fighting for justice
for their beloved ones. It was twenty seven other men
at Pike River in twenty ten. I thought the movie
was gore, was raw, real and gut rinching. He said,
also powerful, incredibly powerful. Even it's Marcus, Hello.

Speaker 10 (02:04:20):
Hey, good evening, evening. Even So, I was driving up
to Halik on Saturday and been a couple of jokers
suited up and white and a lot of flying a
lot of flying objects. There must be really are these
wash It sounds like they've done it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:40):
It sounds like they're onto it too late. It sounds
like they're settled.

Speaker 10 (02:04:44):
Yeah, because like they were coming out into the middle
of the road. There's a fair old heap of them.
That was Did you see that morning?

Speaker 2 (02:04:52):
Did you see a swarm of them.

Speaker 10 (02:04:55):
Or yeah, they were attacking these two jokers because are
all dressed up and white. They're obviously dealing with the
I was whatever. Wow, they're trying to beat them.

Speaker 2 (02:05:06):
I don't know if that would be the hornets. I
think the hornets are in quite small nests.

Speaker 10 (02:05:11):
Okay, they might have been. It's hard to tell when
you're driving.

Speaker 2 (02:05:15):
But that sounds like quite a sight.

Speaker 10 (02:05:17):
They have the whole lacking, They had a buddy, they
had some sticks, and they were trying to keep them
off their arms. So they look pretty aggressive.

Speaker 2 (02:05:25):
And with these guys with the ones with the nets
around the head and the whole thing.

Speaker 10 (02:05:30):
Oh yeah, fully kit it up.

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
Yeah troopers. Oh that's a good So wonder what was happening?

Speaker 10 (02:05:35):
Yeah? I think they looked like a bit worried themselves.

Speaker 2 (02:05:41):
There's normally the bee keepers are pretty calm and don't
get too affected by bees.

Speaker 10 (02:05:45):
Yeah, no, bees are like I've been watching some stuff
on YouTube and bees are real time. And then you
get the angry wasps and the angry what.

Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
Are they called hornets?

Speaker 10 (02:05:55):
No, there's a there's a fish a very angry bee
as well.

Speaker 2 (02:06:00):
Oh, killer bee or something is it.

Speaker 10 (02:06:02):
Yeah, I'm not sure they call them, but yeah, if
the time that they can sit there with no kit on,
and if they're not they yeah, that's they were killing
everything in sight when they swarm like that.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
Do you remember the movie The Swarm?

Speaker 10 (02:06:19):
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 2 (02:06:22):
I think there are er they are killer South American bees.
We're heading north was do you remember those? There was
all that hype about those bees, African killer bees?

Speaker 14 (02:06:31):
You was it.

Speaker 10 (02:06:31):
Wahike last year? And these I've never seen such a
big swarm over there. Yeah, like massive, right, I don't know.
They must have been on the move, isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
Okay, anything else?

Speaker 10 (02:06:45):
Uh qep Awark's gone off.

Speaker 2 (02:06:48):
It was stay Monday. Yeah, we've only been on South
for one day. You have to be pretty cares it
good weather up there.

Speaker 10 (02:06:54):
Though, Oh it's been good for the last three days.

Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
They'll do it. Nice to hear from you. Even half
past eleven hurdle, twelve miniatures, fireworks, everything goes hit'll the end.
What do you got but ev England's this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (02:07:08):
You know.

Speaker 17 (02:07:09):
Yeah, I just listened Toady and I hear you guys
talking about Pike River stuff. Basically went to the premiere
one and going there, and I sort of had some
involved with its pretty much some day one and the
people that working were all like minded people being involved

(02:07:30):
in somewhere another. No, no, the two girls involved quite personally.
And but the part that no one will think of
much that I wanted to talk about was there was
a number of sequences that were actually well clapped through.
The thing probably wouldn't get around the rest of the country,

(02:07:50):
but anything else preserving by airlines to take the concrete
up there was a major one because you know, if
they hadn't pulled out, it would have been difficult, but
would have happened if the girls had been on the
cage and we were some of the mons ending as well.
But the clapping for some of these sequences, I always

(02:08:14):
thought that the aid the hide decision got the best clap.
And I've actually written to to the firm and I've
had a reply.

Speaker 2 (02:08:24):
Back come then, and that's that's I presume that's the
Richardson's of in Vacago.

Speaker 5 (02:08:29):
Is it?

Speaker 17 (02:08:30):
Yes, Yes, it is, yeah, yeah, And that was the
interesting part. And the feedback I play then and the
feedback they came back to me with was it's not
just a family involved. There was there was a meeting
of the directors that were they're going to go ahead
with the order or declineate and it was they told

(02:08:54):
me it was a family decision to not to decline
the order and not go and it was one of
the few times that the family if they used the
then we can overall directors. So it was interesting to me.
And yeah, so there's a little bit of background. It's

(02:09:17):
not really the public arena.

Speaker 2 (02:09:20):
So yeah, yes, yeah, I think I think the daughter
of the original patriarch is the is she she seems
to be the you know, she's there on the directors,
so she seems to be calling the shot. So that
was an extraordinary thing.

Speaker 5 (02:09:39):
To do that.

Speaker 17 (02:09:40):
Yeah, I think your name was Joyce.

Speaker 2 (02:09:42):
Yeah, it is, it is, it is, it is. It
is her name. She's well known in Southland as someone.

Speaker 17 (02:09:46):
That's run into tell her well done.

Speaker 2 (02:09:49):
Yeah and looking and I thought that was strong from
the movie is the one. I don't know if I
can ask you this, but obviously there's the two women
that are in the movie and ones whose husband had died. Yeah,
what's her since they was a Milton Milton.

Speaker 17 (02:10:08):
Milton Milton used to work coming and that was my
original enrollment from the way there before they are married, you.

Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Know, and the only and obviously she has cancer throughout
the movie and she's there with you know, with a scarf.
Is she well now is it talked about? Is she
someone that's okay.

Speaker 17 (02:10:25):
Okay, Yeah, she's got a lot of problems. She's got
sore feet and number.

Speaker 14 (02:10:33):
And that.

Speaker 17 (02:10:33):
Yeah, very very strong and playing girl.

Speaker 10 (02:10:37):
Oh I believed, yeah, And he's pretty proud of her.

Speaker 7 (02:10:41):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
And it was because it was a love story as well,
wasn't she she talked about And they must had a
fever of involvement in the movie, did they.

Speaker 17 (02:10:50):
Well, But because it was such a big I didn't
really get to talk to them too much. But there
they were there watching all the way from you know,
that was one of her things that you have to
have talked about war actually yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:11:08):
But but but lindsay, the the two of them hadn't
written a book or anything for it to be based on,
had they?

Speaker 18 (02:11:15):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:11:16):
No, I think that Ron pack is and what of
his name was? He just looked at that situation.

Speaker 10 (02:11:24):
Quite time.

Speaker 17 (02:11:26):
You can make a movie about that and and was yeah,
you know, it's the very tragic situation. The night that
they end up the efficient to Citta in front of
the gate was as I recall, it was.

Speaker 4 (02:11:46):
The night of it quite.

Speaker 17 (02:11:49):
And they were kept in the little canyon while the
people have got on board of and the proteus grew
and grew and grew, and we used to get there
every morning and he stud down all daze of that
make us contractors through the game.

Speaker 8 (02:12:12):
How long was that?

Speaker 2 (02:12:13):
How long? How long was that?

Speaker 17 (02:12:14):
Therefore, I don't know what we will go up therefore
in a week yea every morning you see it? Probably
it was probably sixty sometimes yeah, you know, for a

(02:12:35):
long time.

Speaker 18 (02:12:38):
M hmm.

Speaker 17 (02:12:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:12:41):
And from story, no, there'd be no story. But and
also from someone that just had it, you know, who's
not from the coast, because from an outside of point
of view it went. It was a complicated story because
that we've done for a long time. There's all sorts
of things. But to see it explain like that or
chronologically gave a lot of clarity to it. Also gave
a lot of clarity to their importance of health and safety.

(02:13:01):
And you know the caution that's required for any you know,
for any future projects that go head that you can't
skimp on that stuff because and also then they said
there's still the police is still investigating, so they could
still well be prosecutions with a bit.

Speaker 17 (02:13:15):
Of luck, with a bit of luck, because I don't
know if you heard an interview with Jet Pain just
a week the two backs since and they ended when
he ended view, and so right at the end of
it he said, well, what do you hope now I
can't remember, Jet, They said, we hope that, like people

(02:13:38):
will watch this, something will happen. And I remember, I'm
pretty sure, Sonya said. And if they don't, don't take notice,
will start fighting in Yeah, very powerful and I.

Speaker 4 (02:13:51):
Can't it was great.

Speaker 17 (02:13:53):
Yeah, I'm looking for prosecution and.

Speaker 7 (02:13:57):
Not just.

Speaker 17 (02:13:59):
Cossecuse another investigation. How can let judge ferish those advice off? Yeah,
you know, bought their way. They shouldn't happen, you know,
it shouldn't happen anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:14:12):
Well, the laws changed now, hasn't it. The law's changed now.
But still it was amazing that law was even there.

Speaker 17 (02:14:18):
Well, there's a lot of rules changed. Only they are
saying to me, oh, a year or two later, yeah,
probably two things to live on.

Speaker 24 (02:14:27):
Twelve.

Speaker 17 (02:14:28):
Some of the workplace rules you said that's what white
stuff is getting back in me and be changed because
of Pope River. Yeah, it's complicated that there is people
around saying well now I understand why they're still quite yeah, yeah, yeah,
and good.

Speaker 2 (02:14:45):
On them, good on them. Love you to hear from you, Lindsay,
Thanks so much for that. Eighteen away from twelve o'clock. Hello, George,
this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 27 (02:14:55):
Yeah, right George here. Yeah, two things. I watched the
Chase today. I'd also like to make a comment on
Park River.

Speaker 2 (02:15:04):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (02:15:05):
So the chase.

Speaker 27 (02:15:07):
I watched Bradley the other day with the final run
and they got to twenty four in the two minutes
of questions answered correctly, with three or four not answered correctly,
and then you know, the chaser had to and then
she got it in one minute. How one second of

(02:15:28):
it was at the end. It was the most amazing
speed of questioning to get that many questions through with
the contestants for the chase of the follow So tonight
I'm watching Paul. There's no way that he could ask
twenty eight questions in the same time. He talked so

(02:15:50):
slow to the contestants. When he's asked some questions, you'd.

Speaker 9 (02:15:53):
Be lucky to get eighteen out of them. But when
he was talking to Harriet, he sped up, and I
thought that's a bit rude. He asked the questions quicker
with her than he did with the contestants. It's like
the to a piddle. But not only that, all the
prizes are two thousand dollars, not one thousand dollars steps,
so it makes the numbers look bigger even though they're

(02:16:14):
answering less questions. It's quite an interesting fiddle.

Speaker 27 (02:16:18):
Okay, I felt the show was slow. I don't know
if anybody else comments. It doesn't have the the the
spice that it needs for a show like that to
keep the interest in it.

Speaker 2 (02:16:31):
Yeah, well there's only there's only four episodes. I don't
know why they bothered.

Speaker 9 (02:16:35):
I don't know either, because then they get and then
Harriet or whatever her name is.

Speaker 2 (02:16:41):
I don't think that there's anyone called Harriet.

Speaker 11 (02:16:42):
There is an An and sorry an.

Speaker 9 (02:16:45):
Yes, she starts talking to Kiwis, but they're all advertisements
during the ads, and they go what she's going to
talk about the Kiwi psyche and it's just advertissement. So
the whole thing seems to be a jacker but I'm
they're having their fun, they're giving it a go. The
questions aren't as deep as you get in the English ones,

(02:17:07):
but still I just felt the whole thing what was.

Speaker 2 (02:17:10):
What was an example of the New Zealand questions?

Speaker 9 (02:17:13):
Oh one was the White Funds? I think it was,
and had no idea what the things were. It was
a cricket a cricket deal, okay, but anyway Pointe River.
There's only I mean, the whole thing was really said,
what happened and it's a disaster. I'm very sympathetic to

(02:17:34):
all the people that lost everyone. But the thing that
really got me was why did they block up the
event way up the shaft, you know, way up the
mine where they could have used that the access afterwards
to get in to have a look.

Speaker 2 (02:17:49):
Yeah, I don't know that. I don't know the full
details about that, George, but you probably should go and
watch it because it's a good watch and a lot
of that content that's not explained, but a lot of
context has explained. Nice to hear from you. Twenty fifteen
away from twelve o'clock. So someone's worked out the chase, Marcus,
I think on the only person on the plane who
has filled out the great lie of the chase. When

(02:18:10):
the questions are asked of the team and an automated
voice calls out the name of the person to answer,
there is no automated voice for the chaser. The time
taking to read out their name is equivalent to four questions,
so at the same speed the team might get twenty
questions when the same two minus the chaser will get

(02:18:31):
twenty four. I've sat and watched with a stopwatch, and
what I'm saying is one hundred percent true. Chairs Ross,
Although if your team are four, you've got four X.
You start with four points, don't you. So that would
make it even, wouldn't it. But then eating it up,
there's four of you would get going against one, so

(02:18:53):
they've got four times as many people. But yea, it's
supposed to be but a fun funny. I don't know
if it's gone on don Yeah, yeah, it's amazing, just
how successful the question show it is, particularly if for
TV and did with that leading to the news. I
don't know how well it's gone on America. America sort
of the home of the quiz show, but with Jeopardy

(02:19:14):
and all those ones, and how well that's done.
