Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be oh, welcome, all how are you going? Feels automish,

but the air is still and there's sort of smoke
in the air. Greetings, welcome Marcus. When I'm head on
midnight and I hope it's good. Vert a reinteresting dinner,
read something for dinner which I've never had before in
that particular combination. I wonder if you guess what it was?

(00:33):
Very interesting. I think you'd be excited and appalled when
you heard it. It was three things combined. Text. If
you think you had any idea what that was, I'll
reveal it. I'm not going to taunt you all night

Goodness to me, eh, quite extraordinary. Get in touch you

hundred and eighty ten, eighty nine nine. Text No, I'm
curated to talk. Anything goes on this due Wednesday. I
still can't believe the guy last night that went to
the pub and thought he lift his car at the
pub and he hadn't. But it wasn't outside his house

(01:14):
and he cycled around Palmerston North for four weeks and
never found the car. That extraordinary story. This feels like
a film that go on his old bike on the
old healing with the upturned handlebars, just looking looking, looking. Yeah,
it feels like it's a story from simpler times anyway.
And because last night we're talking about losing your car,

(01:34):
we're not talking about that tonight. But get in touch
of your door to join non Q rated talk. Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine two detext
By the way, NPD, they have twelve per cent a
liter off petrel and diesel tomorrow only. So it seems
to be coming down for some people. That's good news.
I suppose it's kind of interesting. Oh, the straight of

(01:58):
Hoor moves for a while there, we followed you exactly
what was going, Then suddenly it all got cloudy. You've
got no idea. The Iranians are attacking container shops. But
be in touch with you to join the fray tonight.
Here right with you till twelve o'clock. The number is
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two
de text. If you do want to be a part
of it. Feel free to get in touch and feel

(02:19):
free to partake. By the way, next week short week,
there was an article to click on about I don't
think we've always Monday eyed en Zac Day. I don't
think it's right to ends. I'm not gonna I'm not
going to kick up about this. By the way, too,
we're talking about famous people turning one hundred. Image. The
last well known person turn one hundred was who the

(02:41):
Queen Mother? Anyway, David Edinburgh will be one hundred on
the May the ninth, May the eighth, closely followed by
Dick van Dyke. He's the next well known centenarian to
be after it him to make a hundred part of
my list, but you do get in touched on talk

(03:02):
on anither the numbers oh eight hundred, eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine two de text. By the way,
this Sunday marks forty years since Chernobyl. Oh I should
correct that, forty years since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. I'm
only mention that because I'm sure there's people out there
in listen Land that have been to Chernobyl. I'd be

(03:22):
curious to hear if that is you. What was that like,
for a while no one went. Then for a while
people went with Geiger Counters because it was big extreme
disaster tourism. I don't know if it's disaster tourism now
I don't have people are going. Well, I suppose they're
not going because it's a war zone. You might get
hit by a drone. The other thing too. HBO Max

(03:45):
will be in New Zealand from June the sixteenth. I've
got no idea what HBO Max is. If anyone can
tell me filming in about that, I don't know about that.
I'm too confused with screening platforms. I guess it was
wish it was all in one. I don't love them.
I don't love the confusion of screening streaming platforms. Anyway,

(04:13):
get in touch, you want to be a part of it.
My name as Marcus. Welcome here, toll twelve o'clock to night,
eight hundred and text Gosh, we've had two hundred and
two thousand messages to prevent the new text system. So
a lot, isn't it. I sound as Marcus. Good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Hey, how's it going good?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Thank you yourself?

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Very good.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm an Iranian, so I just thought to give you
a call and talk about that iran and strict and
foremost situation from another respect. Everyone talks about the fuel prize.
No one talks about the Iranians chapped in that situation.
So we are in a blue roof situation. If the

(05:00):
war goes on, we get vombed, our country get vombed.
If the war stops, we get trapped with the brute
regime that kills its own people. So I think the
whole world needs to think a little bit fitter than
that and solve this matter once for once, forever forever,

(05:25):
and help the United States to get to read of
this regime so they would never have someone getting the
petrol prices hostage for the world and kill its own people.
Like forty five thousand people in two days. That's a
massive number. I don't think we have that much of

(05:47):
people killed by a regime since Second World War.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I guess you could understand why people in New Zealand
are concerned about the price of fuel because for them
half a world, why it's really the only effect for
them of this conflict. Would you acknowledge that?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, I accept that, but you know, I mean, like
the political pressure can help many things can help Iranians,
like and answering I r G see a terrorist group,
a terrorist militia with help, but none of these has

(06:30):
been done by the New Zealand government. They can they
can banish the Islamic Republic embassy or ambassador. Sorry if
I if my vocabulary is not that good. But why

(06:51):
should a government like New Zealand have the dramatic relationship
with the regime like that? Why should they still have
the ambassador of such a regime setting in Wellington?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Anything to do with them?

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, I think isolating the region with help.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Have you have you had anything to do with the
Iranian ambassador in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Let me tell you this what they do when we
go then demonstrate to support our Iranian people, They film
us and they go and they analyze those those films
and they find our faces and then they go. If
you have family back in Iran, they go and they
put them under pressures so to silence us.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Hey, just because I haven't spoken to anyone, that's Are
you in contact with people in Iran currently?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes? I am hardly, but I'm in conduct.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yet and I presume they have no internet? There?

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Correct?

Speaker 7 (07:48):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
If you're lucky. You can buy the VPNs or softwares
like that with with the with the fortune of money
to get get connected, but it's not very easy.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
What's your understanding of how informed the people in a
Ryan are about what is going on?

Speaker 8 (08:09):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
There are there are TV satellites that they watch, and
there are the TV channels that talk about the real news.
So what what I talk Sometimes when I when I
talk with my family and extended fially friends and Iran,
and I say, hey, have you heard the news? And
they already know the news before me, you know, so,

(08:32):
so they are they know what's going on in the world.
They know what's going on with the politics and things,
but it's very hard for them to get connected.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Is there increasing financial hardship for people as far as
food security and those things go currently? Is that impacting
for them massively?

Speaker 9 (08:52):
Like massively?

Speaker 6 (08:53):
Like?

Speaker 10 (08:54):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:54):
That the people are losing jobs because every everything has
isn't this pause in this big pause of no war
and no peace situation? So people are getting redundant of
their jobs and then everything is sort of in past. Uh.
The the financial situation is in is in a very

(09:18):
bad time and things are getting The food is getting
massively expensive, like in two months, U Like cooking oil
has come like two times. Eggs are getting very expensive,
chicken is very expensive. Yeah, it's it's a very very
hard time for your own people. H But I want

(09:40):
to add something. If the regime remains, it would be
even harder than this. That's that's the point that people
who are talking about no war and we need to
stop the war and things like that. If we stop
the war, it needs to end with with with with
complete collapse of this regime. So if the war ends
and the regime stays, it would be a harder time

(10:02):
for the Iranian people. The petrol price goes back, no
one talks about Irani anymore, but your onion people are
going to stay in that hardship.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Very hard to bring about raging change through military action
as far as the world history goes. So that would
be Mike, and you'd be aware of that.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
That's very very understandable and we know that. But there
is no way for us.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Out of it.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Like people, people came out, they demonstrated, they got killed,
they got hit shot, you know, people got killed.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
And then they were hunted down. Then they were hunted
down to the hospitals and found there, which is extremely,
extremely grand.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
And then even the nurses, the nurses and the darkness
who tried to help them, they got hunted down.

Speaker 11 (10:46):
That's what happens.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Nice to talk to sound. Thanks so much to the
eighteen past day. Keep your calls coming through and your
texts tonight eight hundred and eighty eight nine. You don't
want to come through tonight breaking it seems like the
weather is quiet. Fingers crossed touch wood. By the way,
Dick van Dyke is already hunt I apologize for that.

(11:10):
Not many guesses for my food for tonight. It was
something I've never had before in that particular combination. Yeah,
I think when you hear it, you'll be quietly appalled
on our appalled or excited depends which way you go.
I think being touched. Anything else you want to mention tonight,
feel free to come through. The number is eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nineteen nine to text. There is a

(11:33):
situation where a fire in South Aukland taka ninny. What's
the is in me? Growth forecast looking like, let's have
a break. We are talking food, well, we're talking food
and HBO, but suddenly there's a bit of a revisit
with the straight of horn moves and that's that is fine.

(11:55):
I'll keep you update on that for out the course
of the evening tonight. The number is eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine. To keep those texts coming through.
You can't believe I forgot the Dick Vanke was one
hundred peter and to Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (12:09):
Good evening. Well, the strait it was open before the
US and Israel took to an unprovoked bombing of a
country seeking regime change, getting rid of their missiles, stopping
them funding other countries. And that has failed and the

(12:31):
Strait is now under the control and apparently a man
and Iran have come up with a deal legally to
charge people to go through. And remember that ship that
was bordered by the US. Apparently that was south east

(12:51):
of tri Lanka, so that was quite some distance away
from Iran, and it apparently was over a period of
approximately six hours, which was quite a long time, and
went from China to Malaysia, then it was off to Iran.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
So I think there's been a second ship today that's
been attacked in the stratiform moves.

Speaker 12 (13:17):
What this is where the other ship was was miles
away southeast of Sri Lanka. If you know your geography.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I do, but yeah, the uturbine Iranian naval vessel.

Speaker 12 (13:28):
No, no, no, that was that was the one that
was sunk. Now, this is the one that was boarded
with file and shots through the engine room with containers
on it. So you know, and then you know, the
US has put an embargo around Cuba for you know,

(13:48):
oil or humanitarian aid or something like that. The US
is a terrorist organization that it's inn present. Before the
election said they didn't believe in international law, and since
the election, he says he doesn't believe in international law.
So the thing is Israel drew this time has gone into.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Just just to clarify, I think there's been there's been
two ships at Tech today in the straight up womus.
That's what no one's mentioning the boat naitural anchor. It
says there's a second ship came under at Tech today
just a short time after the Revolutionary Guard open far
in a container ship. So there's two ships, the container

(14:30):
ship and an unspecified ship. I think it might be
a cargo ship as well.

Speaker 12 (14:35):
Yeah, well, the one couple of days ago. Whenever it
was was southeast, so that was quite away from that.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think we've moved on. I think we've moved on
from that one, Peter.

Speaker 9 (14:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (14:46):
But the other thing is, of course Israel is carrying
on with their proposed expansion into Lebanon and all that
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And while does it ceasefire not held.

Speaker 12 (15:00):
Well, I'm just saying that they're generalizing. I'm saying that
that that's their plan they want to take even on
I've got bits of Syria and all that sort of stuff.
So the US cannot control what Israel does, and it
hasn't used it some control and stopping funding Israel or
stop arming Israel, and they believe that the US President

(15:21):
and other presidents and the Congress and the Senate is
under the US control of Israel lobby.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Peter, I've got an audience to entertain tonight in the
show to run. This is a bit of a deep
dive into stuff.

Speaker 13 (15:35):
A well.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
The thing is that, yeah, but I'm sort of thinking,
hang about where we're going. This is all big stuff.
A Well.

Speaker 12 (15:43):
What I mean is we've got an election, and the
previous callers said, you know what, you want to sanction
the Iranian military. Well, if you sanction the Iranian military,
you won't be able to buy all of it, and
they won't be able to do any negotiations with anyone
if you sanction something. So to get out of this mess,

(16:05):
our prime minister is really caught short because he cannot
control what the US does or the Israel lobby does
in the US. So New Zealand, you know, we're at
the end of the supply chain and we need diesel
for our economy and fuel, and with the price of
fuel going up, that is going to take so much

(16:26):
money of disposable income, whether it's you know, you want
to go and pay your rent, pay your insurance, pay
your power bill, pay your food bill, you know, and
supermarkets are forecasting big increases and we're coming along to
winter and already the power bills are going up enormously
and the government has offered some issues if you like.

(16:49):
But the thing is that that's too.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Much, Peter, Sorry, it's too much. It's just it's just
a wall of noise and words from you. I can't yeah, sorry,
you just don't take a break, and I find my
concentration going. So I apologize for that. But yeah, that
I had imagined. I'll get in touch with you. Do
you want to talk sorry about that? Eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine to the text. If

(17:11):
you do want to come through a trunk, keep it
light or lie to her anyway? Wow. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine two nine to the text Hitle
twelve o'clock. If there is something different you want to
talk about, feel free to come through or something the same.
If there's any breaking news that will happen, I'll bring

(17:32):
that to you tonight. The number is eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine two to text get
in touch if you do want to be on air tonight. Wow.
All I think was mentioned oil and the price of
will apparently is coming down slightly. But if there are
any more announcements tonight, I will keep you informed about that.

(17:55):
I've been stopping looking at the Brent crude. I can
I predict it's going to be around about ninety five.
That seems where it's kind of settled for a while.
Let me have a quick look about that too, well.
I wait the headlines eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine two text ninety nine point four
to sixty seven, So it's creeping up. That's normally a
fairy good barometer about how well things are going.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
I e.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Not that well at all. Cheapest as I say, oh
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
texts if you want to partake in the show, don't
feel free. I was curious to talk about HBO Max, Yeah,
because that's going to be a thing. But I don't
know where you are. But as far as all those
different platforms go, well, then aims is say something that

(18:41):
kind of as a bit of a dog's breakfast for
me about what to get and what to watch. I
just wish there was one platform you probably paid for
the special shows you wanted to watch that maybe would
make it easier. Anyway, end Zac Day, of course, coming
up Saturday. It's a long weekend. I remember when that started,
that Monday ization fee a little bit funny about that.
It feels like, yeah, I don't even know what my

(19:03):
opinion was when we came through with the Monday ization.
It feels weird to me. I don't know how many
times we've had it for but that is this Monday.
So yeah, it's a long weekend. But the sad day
so somber. And I think Sunday Monday is races in
general malarkey, So that might be something you want to
mention too. This day in twenty sixteen, more than one
seventy country signed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Interesting,

(19:26):
some of those shots from Willington over the last two
or three days people thought were ai false images. So
no one can tell the real climate disaster from the
fake climate disaster. And this day, in nineteen seventy seven,
optical five was used for the first time for telephone transmissions.

(19:47):
By the way, I saw us some news out of
Scandinavia the last couple of days. They have developed power
lines that don't need wire. It's just some sort of
magnetic plasma vortex that goes from pole to pole. I
looked at that and I thought, wow, that's next level.
How would people cope with that? I thought, I wonder
how people hope. When power lines first became a thing,

(20:08):
they must have freaked people out, mustn't it all that
power in your streets on the top of poles. So
when you look back in the last hundred years, a
lot has happened. That sounds like a trite thing to say. Anyway,
get in touch you on Talk. My name is Marcus.
Welcome he to twelve o'clock eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine to nine to Texas. Want a part take texts, Marcus,

(20:29):
can you give a shout out to my beautiful wife
or two birthday tonight? And I just sort of something
nice and light up to just listen to that previous caller.
If you could give Melissa a shout out from our
husband Phil, that would be great like the old days,
Happy birthday Melissa from your husband Phil. There we go.
May as well flag me on with HBO Max coming.

(20:50):
I wonder what Sky will come up with to replace
half of their listings. Well, the thing about Sky that's
so bad is they had the Discovery Channel and then
they started with the Discovery channels that they started putting
on those ridiculous kind of made up documentaries when they
went hunting for and I thought once they started mixing

(21:11):
facts with fiction and that fake news. Oh that was
a shocking state of affairs. Recommented much about that recently.
But yeah, I'm apart from my league, I'm not on
that much anyway. Be in touch, welcome here to go
oh wait one hundred and eighty tirty nine two nine
two detection and start. We'll not start the whole war rolling,
keep the whole ball rolling tonight. We'd love to hear

(21:32):
from if you want to be a part of it,
if there's something else you want to talk about, if
you've got breaking news where you are. There hasn't been
any wallabye sightings for a while. I wonder how we're
going with the wallaby problem. I mean, three or four
years ago there was hysteria about Wallabyes, and probably rightly so,
but now it's gone quiet because they were coming down

(21:52):
throw Targo into South and then going into Hawke's Bay.
But yeah, anyway, I just normally know that I always
say that at the beginning of the show for you
and Sydney Wallabies, keep us informed about that. That'd be
good to hear from you talking about that too. So
there's that also tonight anyway. And there's a shout out

(22:14):
for his Peete's beautiful wife, No, Phil's beautiful wife. Anyway,
do get in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty eighteen eighty Marcus.
After watching Nichola Willis on TV three News tonight, she
should be apologizing to Chrisapkins for grunting like a wounded animal.
All I can say is grow up, nicolaut. The kids
are watching cheers, ma. I didn't watch the news tonight, Marcus.

(22:35):
I believe Monday iyzing Anzact Day is disrespectful. Well I
do too. Monday holiday will be all about retail, no
point and not okay, cheers Chris. I don't even think
that Anzac Day should be a holiday at all. I
think it probably should be a half day when people
do what they need to do. That would be my tame,
which I think was the way it always was. But

(22:55):
you will have thoughts and they get in touch. If
you've got thoughts, as I say, oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty here till twelve, anything else you want to
talk about. But the breaking news is that this has
just come through. Two ships have been attacked in the
Strait of Hormuz, which have complicated the diplomatic efforts to
resume the talks. I think O. JD vances in Washington

(23:16):
waiting to go to Pakistan for the talks, but the
fact he hasn't gone shows they haven't got much faith
in the ceasefire. The British militaries. United Kingdom Maritime Trade
Operations said it did not immediately identify who shot at
the second ship, suspicion as paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and the

(23:37):
second attack the cargo ships that had been fired upon
and were stopped in the water. No reporter damage to
the vessel. So there we go. That's the latest there,
twenty four away from nine now. Feel free to email
me and text me also if you want to partake

(23:57):
in the discussion tonight, looking forward to what you've got
to say. Oh eight h eighty and nine two detects.
If you want to be a part of it is
something else you want to mention. Brilliant. Let's be hearing
from you. I see they've sold out the rugby in
the weekend. It's going to be interesting. The reports back
from the stadium in christ Church also powerable. The numbers

(24:22):
have been drawn. No word you if there's a jackpot
or the life changing five million dollars. They're calling it
one twenty eight, nineteen thirty four, eleven and six bonus ballers,
four powerballers, five free low numbers. Anyway, beck at your
twenty three away from nine o'clock comments on Anzac Day,
I believe Monday Eyes and Enzac Day is disrespectful. Monday morning,

(24:44):
Monday holiday will be all about retail, no point not okay.
Another person says Anzac days of Resomber Day. For a
lot of us still it should be observed on the
day it falls, otherwise it loses all that represents. Donald Wamadu,
I think it is. I think that it's not the

(25:05):
worst of the Monday eyes. I think people still do
Anzac Day stuff on Anzac Day. It's just I can't
quite work out what the point of the Monday offers.
That's my take on that one. So yeah, I mean,
what are you supposed to do? What's your mind frame
on Monday? Because of course these days people are fixated
about airbnbs and going away, aren't they, So they'll be

(25:26):
going away. And of course with a long weekend, what
people do is they leave work at Friday at midday
to beat the traffic. So yes, they mind you should
be free to do what you want. I suppose they
probably went to war to fight for freedom so people
could do whatever the hell they like on Anzact Day.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I saw actually as I came to work today the
local fire brigade we're cleaning the cenotaph and cleaning outside
the RSA, which they do every year, which I thought
wasn't a bad thing. Mind you, it is their practice night,
but they do that and they clean the cenotaph for
they even a clock service. Always a goodie Tony, it's Marcus.

(26:08):
Good evening and welcome Marcus.

Speaker 14 (26:11):
You were talking about the early power lines and Reefon's
just the place for that was the first in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Street lights, wasn't it.

Speaker 14 (26:21):
This was street lights and public supply of electricity in
eighteen eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
First in the Southern hemisphere, it was yes. And did
they have a many hydro did they?

Speaker 14 (26:34):
Now they had a hydro powered Reefon or most of
Reefion after a while. But public buildings, hotels and so
forth were lit up with light from the for reef
And power station which has been reinvented and it's working
again as we speak.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well on the Nangahoa, is it.

Speaker 14 (26:51):
Yeah, on the Nangohou River, just down from the strand
you know, from the from the main street.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (26:57):
Well, in eighteen eighty eight they put power lines up
and it's said in the paper that locals during a
stormy night, couldn't sleep because the whistling of the power line,
so weren't used to the noise.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
But can you how freaked out you'd because you know
how people got freaked out by five G right, yes,
and maybe how freaked out of electricity was going along
wire is beside your house?

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (27:21):
Yeah, but I didn't think they knew too much about
it to see the residents, they were just happy to
have these.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, the bonus probably was there was no internet. There's
no one spreading misinformation.

Speaker 14 (27:32):
No, that's right now.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Do you know do you know what the town was
called in those days?

Speaker 14 (27:37):
I was still called Reefton, but yeah, it was a
nickname of Quartzopolis.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I always heard it was Courtzoppolers.

Speaker 14 (27:45):
Yeah, it was never that, that was never official, but
it was called you know, the nickname was called Courtzopolis.
And the day they lit up the big arc light
bulb at the actual electricity generator place, the whole town
went around there and they'd never seen lights so bright.
And they turned around and they that kids were scared

(28:07):
because they had never seen their shadows before at nighttime. Wow,
And they were running away from them and people were
tripping over logs and everything Yeah, it must have been
quite a spectacle, must.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Have been unbelievable spectacle. So was there reticulated power to
the houses or just street lights? To begin with it was.

Speaker 14 (28:26):
To the odd Fellows Hall, to the Dawson's Hotel and
a few other places, and then gradually it became to
the people's homes and street lights.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
And the actual hydro scheme that would be a drop
that went into a turbine. Is that the way it worked?
I mean, can you still see how that goes?

Speaker 14 (28:46):
That's right? And they've got a replica one working as
at the moment, and it's looking very very good.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
So when they say replica, it's a replica the same
dimensions as the original.

Speaker 14 (28:57):
Yes, similar to the original.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Look at that.

Speaker 14 (29:01):
And they've got a channel being cut off from the
Nangohua River and the water goes back into the river
from up away a little bit and there's a rise
of about nearly one hundred feet, so the water comes
down and goes through the turbine and the way it goes.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
What do they do with the power?

Speaker 14 (29:18):
And they put it into the national good because the
Electricity Trust, the Reef and Electricity Trust, is trying to
raise money to pay for what they've done, and eventually
it's the charitable organization and there'll be money coming out
into the community once it's all paid for.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Brilliant. I love that, Tony, nice to talk, Thanks so much.
At sixteen from nine Good Evening, Marcus I traveled from
Christchurch to Warnica for the warbirds and cantered three road
killed wallabees through the Mackenzie Country. Oh yes, so they
still are dying because they're supposed to be out of
that area and on the rampage the Wattlebes by the way,
there has been a measles outbreak at the Warnica Warbirds.

(30:00):
I can't think of anything illiterative to say, so it's
measles from Wannaica, Warnicer Get in touch if you want
to ends act day and reefed in and reticulated power
in the straight off Will Moves. My dinner tonight was
tripe bluff oysters in Power. It's pretty interesting in it,
but you didn't get it. But you didn't think come

(30:21):
close to guess in that.

Speaker 13 (30:22):
Did you.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
She's pretty fall on. I didn't cook it. I certainly
ate it. I am tripagnostic. I think it's great, it's fine,
but it's not what i'd write, well, it's good. No,
it's good, but I'm not someone's going to join a
tripe club. I'm not going to go or full on obsession.
Just so you know, fourteen to nine. If someone can,

(30:45):
if someone's got to rip, like a picture of the
reefed and powers, I can't google one up just quickly,
Marty Marcus, welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 11 (30:52):
I've got a Wallabee report in early power station report,
Wallabye report.

Speaker 15 (30:57):
The Wallabies are in.

Speaker 11 (30:58):
Tamiro Mountain bike part and sort of central whiteouta I
guess you call it between Cambridge and Marensville.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
So they're moving north to that, is that right?

Speaker 11 (31:13):
Yeah, up through the crimes, across some farmland somehow and
now they're Tomro. Yeah, you got them. No, I haven't
seen any.

Speaker 9 (31:25):
Of the foxies.

Speaker 11 (31:27):
You think the foxes and the kids would would see
them on the farm because they they they hop around
sort of the day. They're kind of well, I've seen
them at road to Urora a lot, at the mountain
bike park there during the day, and I've seen them
at cow Island a lot as well, back in the day.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Well, the amazing thing I think, Marty. Sorry to be
the interrupting guy. The amazing thing to me is how
slowly they move.

Speaker 11 (31:53):
Yes, because they've been.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
They've been around there for ages and you know they're
not they're not. Yeah, they're not fanging it, are they.

Speaker 11 (32:01):
No, they're not, they're not. It's not COVID nineteen.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
No, just go Are they hobon?

Speaker 11 (32:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 13 (32:12):
There's not much.

Speaker 11 (32:12):
I think they need bush and they need like warmish environments. Yeah.
I don't think they're going to not in the South Island,
are they?

Speaker 6 (32:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
You know they're there. That's where that's the They start
off on Wymetti and they're all through there. That's there's
they're building a Wallaby fence. So because they reckon, once
they get into the National Park, it's game over. So
they very much are there. But there's two there's two populations.
There's the ones that way METI that have moved all around,
and then there's a one in order to know that
are moving north.

Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yeah, so yeah, they had to me. I haven't seen one.
But there's they've got these little cameras out like trail cameras.
But the there's big warning signs for the kids not
to play with.

Speaker 16 (32:51):
Them, to play.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
What would happen.

Speaker 11 (32:54):
Well, I don't know, they'll they'll activate the camera and.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Not to play with the camera. I thought you said
not to play with the wallabes.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
Yeah, yeah, there's yeah, it's like I don't play with
these trail cameras.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Oh I see, I thought said don't play with the
wallabees because that would have made sense.

Speaker 11 (33:11):
Okay, my son was one. He's like run over them
on his mountain bike going fast, so very bit of
pain and kill it. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You're lucky. You're lucky you didn't hit it at mid
jump and take your head off.

Speaker 11 (33:26):
A Yeah, I was stationary and he just like ran
over it. And he hasn't stopped so much. He just
kept on going because I.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Reckon Australia, if you had a kangaroo, right, and if
you're in a truck and you had a mid jump,
it'll kick you to death.

Speaker 9 (33:43):
Yeah, it's like a horse.

Speaker 11 (33:44):
Yeah. And that's why they had those big bull bars
rubars and and my other story is Lake Carapiro. The
o G first power station was the horror, horror damn
power station and that was to take electricity able to
the old Ye gold mine. So that was like the

(34:04):
early one so I think we're where there's gold in
New Zealand and some sort of one of us within
one hundred kilometers. That's where you're going to put your
power station.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
In because you go to increase your efficiency if your
gold mine.

Speaker 11 (34:18):
Right, yeah, yeah, because there's not much coal. Well there's
coal and Huntley that's quite far to dragging across. You need, yeah,
you need. If you're goal mining, you need as much
as much power as you can get. I guess good.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
On you think that Marny seeming away from nine here
to twelve? How are you going people eight hundred and
eighty to keep the texts? I'm happy to talk about
tripe as well tonight. I shot to Wallaby when tar
hunting New gerald In a few weeks back, but not many.
The population of wild goats has grown in Graymouth to
the point they are on the road storing the local paper.

(34:55):
A group of people want the goats curled, but councils
said no, they're not interested in paying a contract to
go to expensive to cull huge numbers around up in
the gorge out of Queen's Town. Seven to nine. I've
learned something tonight. Tool So if you're out getting gelato
the new thing to do. If you're getting gelato, which
seems to be the buzz thing to get these days,
and you can't decide between having it in a cone

(35:18):
or having it in a what's the other thing called it?
Would it be called a cup? I guess it's called
a cap. Would be called a cup? Or a tub?
Would be called a cup or tub or a cup.
So the thing is if you can't choose between if
you getting gelato, and kids are bad with us. If
you can't choose between a tub or a cone, you
get a unicorn. And that that is your gelato in

(35:41):
a tub with a cone on the top. I've been
extra two dollars l out for a bougie cone, but
that's your unicorn. There you go, that's something to add. Gosh,
somewhere there's some holidays. There was a cucumber shait was good.
A gelato boy, it was good. Now, welcome people, one
of his Marcus. Good evening. We're off to a start ropie.
But we're on the way now. If you want to

(36:01):
partake before the news or after the news, anything goes.
Twenty fourteen, we Monday Eye en Zac Day. I don't
know if I feel good about it feels a little bit.
I might have got mondayization remorse, and I'd go firmer
on this if I knew what I said in what
my opinion was when we actually went, I'm sure I

(36:22):
thought it was probably a good idea changed my mind?
Am I allowed to do that? Marcus? We've just been
on a roady instead it ought to do. I didn't
see waller bees, but saw swarms of these bugs. I
looked them up. They are phenomenon here. They're called lake
or trout flies, awful flipping things, goodness, oh flip, get

(36:47):
in touch oh wa eight one hundred eighty ten eighty
nine to text someone's asking gosh the text is. I
don't mind texts if they want them to be read out,
but a lot of text text with questions that they
want me to answer off air, which is whe isn't
it anyway? I didn't more about that when I'm on

(37:09):
room oh eight hundred. You know the rest one of us.
Marcu's got evening and welcome. I'll keep you updated with
news when that happens throughout the course of the evening tonight.
Anything else that you've got or that you want to
phone in and talk about power stations, great food, great
reefeding and yeah, I wonder what technology freak people out

(37:31):
the most? What new technology, dearie, it was the microwave
or the power line or five G? What has been
the most I'm going to get freaked out technology? I
always thought the fax machine was pretty out there. Good
evening all, and welcome, Welcome to Wednesday. Yeah, mid week
of a long week before the short week that is

(37:52):
the Monday ezed week next week because of ends act Day.
What your views of Ends act Day been? Monday eyesed are?
I think I've kind of changed about that. It feels
wrong to me. And if they go of Monday on
Monday eye the Friday, that might be better to Friday eyes. Anyway,
that's just me. They're also talking about technology.

Speaker 17 (38:12):
They are.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
There's experiment in Scandinavia where have developed power lines that
need no wire. How do you feel about that? So
it's some sort of magnetic vortex and it just kind
of goes down, looking like a blue jelly or a plasma,
and which got me thinking, imagine how freaked out they

(38:34):
came when power lines were first a thing, with live
electricity going around people's streets and I'm thinking about the
technology that must have been the most difficult to come
to terms with. But as someone who's quite rightly pointed out,
what about flying, I can't I can't believe they ever
got people to go on planes in the early days
because that does seem far fits, doesn't it. But even

(38:55):
you speak to aaron autical engineers, I'll never really understand
how the planes stay in the air. And that's kind
of what we are talking about technology and accepting of it.
And as someone said, with them with the robots running
marathons and the robots playing with the kids at the beach,
that's the thing that's going to freak us out the most.
I don't want to be in a world with robots.
I've got no choice. I imagine they'll be doing everything

(39:17):
law enforcement and all sorts of stuff. But if you
want to talk about that, get in touch. Oh eight
hundred eighty. We're also talking about wallabies and as you know,
and ac day, So you get in touch if you
want to anything goes it's broad Church tonight, oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty. Yes, the scientists have transmitted electricity
through thin air, sound waves and laser beams. Sounds like

(39:40):
a song, doesn't it. These are a few of my
favorite things. Sound waves and laser beams. Get in touch
if you want to talk about this. I don't think
it's going to come anytime soon, is it?

Speaker 4 (39:50):
But yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
two de text you want to be a part of it?
And wallabies spreading throughout the country. Marcus Wi fi was
a huge change to the world. Also, I don't forget
why two K everything. Everyone genuinely thought that every thing
would be lost. It's interesting thing. Why to K I

(40:11):
think the problem was. I think the situation with y
two K is They remedied most of it. It wasn't
a fake hoax. It was just something that was a problem,
but they managed to get into the hard drives and
fix it. I was probably talked up a bit. Why
are people hungry and usaid when there are so many
wild goats? Goat meat is as good as mutton. I
think it's probably hard to get the goat. They're normally

(40:32):
inaccessible areas, and I think goat hunting is enjoyable as
deer hunting. You might want to answer me that, why
are their goats everywhere? Marcus to add to the text above.
It involved Now I know what Y two K is, Sam,
I'm familiar with y u ku. It was a big deal.
Someone says, These robots running marathons and convoting out the

(40:52):
beach with joyful kids, freak me out. This is the
beginning of the enslavement of mankind? Is I was a
big fan of kill switches on all robots, but a
bit of a lone wolf for that. No one else
seems to be a fan of that, Marcus. I have
a university student loan of forty thousand and currently working
freelancing in New Zealand without a true stable income flow,

(41:13):
but have a job offer to go to Australia and
earn for a young twenty five year old male. Am
I better to follow that job to Australia? Is there
money to be made here in New Zealand if I
stay and grind Australia versus New Zealand. Who is in
a more healthy position going forward politically and financially? Someone
else might want to answer that, if you're twenty five
and off a job in Australia, would you go, oh yeah?

(41:39):
I think I can imagine what the response is to that.
Will say thirteen past known do get in touch here
till twelve if the same thing else you want to
talk about. So I also a brief mention of tripe.
But get in touch if you want to add to
these discussions. If there's something else you want to talk about,
we'd love to hear from your here till twelve o'clock tonight.
As I say, there's something entirely different. Good has been

(42:00):
a fire in Tackanini as someone has been rescued from
that house A six twenty four that was called in
three cruise Monday where Papa could have Pappa toy tow
were indially dispatched, but they have got the person tripped
in the house. That person has been extricated under control
by seven fifty three damning hotspots down around nine pm.

(42:20):
All accounts of footage as black spoke. I think with fires,
I think the black smoke is the furniture, isn't it
the foam and the couches and things burns dirty A
but get in touch Marcus till twelve. If there is
something different you can mention or want to mention. Would
love to hear from your people. And also Anzac Day

(42:41):
Johnny says we celebrate Anzac Day till midday on the
twenty fifth of Power respects. Then we switch to celebrate
my daughter's birthday. Happen to be born on Anzac Day.
I don't see this has been disrespectful. No good on you.
Just to know what you're supposed to do on the Monday,
but be in touch with you on it. And as
I said, there's something I just want to talk about tonight.
I don't know what that is, but you'd be nice
to hear from you, So yeah, give us it, give

(43:02):
us your holler eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty and
nine to nine two text with it or twelve. But yeah,
there's other topics that you've got tonight. Yeah, feel free
to come through. Oh and HBO Max is something coming.
I don't know anything about that. I also know that
people have been having trouble downloading the TV and z app.
Hope that's got better for you. If not, let us

(43:25):
know we might be able to help you out. Apparently
with goats, it's hard to get goats processed. We farm
goats and struggle to find a place to sell them.
So I don't know if that would be the abattoir
or the retailer. So, yeah, anything, if anyone wants to
talk about hunting goats or goats, I'm up for a

(43:46):
goat discussion tonight. I'm up for anything. Anything goes tonight actually,
but yeah, let's be hearing from you as I say, oh,
eight hundred eighty and nine to nine to text and robots.
I don't know what program. I'm terrify. What was the
movie when I think I've got robots confused with Planet
of the Apes. I think the outcome was about the same.
We were no longer in charge. Hello, Liam, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (44:11):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (44:12):
I was interested to speak with you about the robot topic.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Good, thank you.

Speaker 18 (44:18):
So I think it's kind of interesting that, like we
I think we see the idea of which at GPT
and artificial intelligence, and we kind of see that there's
this idea that we're creating something that is like a
mechanical person, but that's obviously not and that's in popular culture,
but it's not obviously what is eventuating.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
So what is eventuating?

Speaker 18 (44:43):
I think obviously in puting is becoming increasingly more powerful
and complex, but that's just kind of like, and I
guess maybe you could say it's intelligence and they book
about artificial general intelligence, like an intelligence that can do

(45:03):
things or what I think in way that people can
and is that got that kind of flexibility. But that's
not necessarily the same as a you know, like a
human metatronic thing.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
But at the same time, the way that the robots
have advanced separate from AI is extraordinary. I mean, you
see them running races now that they're looking like people.

Speaker 18 (45:31):
Oh yeah, I would, I would agree with you. There's definitely,
I mean, there's definitely in terms of like, if you're
talking about robots that can walk, machines that can walk
and do all sorts of stuff and dance and all,
that's definitely a thing. I don't disagree with you on that.
But I think the advance of if I think of like,

(45:56):
you know, Battlestar gal at your car. I don't know
if you ever watched the TV series that in the
early two thousands, they had a robot that was a
like a jet plane or whatever. And then if you
look I think of, you know, the drones and how
that's happening, and we've got autonomous drones. I guess that's
kind of where I see the direction go. Where we've

(46:18):
got these machines that can machines and computer programs that
can do these incredible things that don't necessarily involve humans,
and that's kind of exciting and scary.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
I mean, the thing is for me, if you get
a drone or a robot and have AI capacity and
show them someone's image and then you get them to
hunt that person down through security cameras and photographs and stuff.
I mean, I think within ten years there'll be there'll
be armies of robots and drones hunting people.

Speaker 18 (46:48):
Oh yeah, it's pretty I mean, Walking Councils just launched
this new app thing, the Report Issues, and you can
take a photo and it will analyze the photo and
it can tell you what's in the photo. So that's
it's coming to governments, it's coming to obviously the private sector,

(47:08):
and obviously when they're on.

Speaker 13 (47:11):
The war.

Speaker 18 (47:12):
I know that Trump is trying to get AI into
the military space as well. It's a bit terrifying.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I mean, what is to stop armies of robots and
drones hunting people down with private armies? There's nothing, is there?

Speaker 18 (47:25):
Well, I think that's what Trump kind of wants to
do it at the moment, and are on I think
he ll He definitely. I don't know a lot about it,
but I know that there is an AI company and
states that he would like or his administration would like
to be doing work for US military and the companies,
you know, and that's clothing issues. But yeah, like in

(47:46):
the past, they would have obviously had a person behind
the drone, but now you don't even necessarily need it
because the drone can make its own decisions.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Nice to talk, Lilliam. Thanks so much. By the way,
someone has claimed five million dollars and tonight's draw empowerable.
Good luck to them. Nine one Margaret as Marcus, welcome
and good evening.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
Marcus. Yes, after the First World War, my grandfather came
home and my mother was just a three year old
three year old child at the time, and in those
days they lived in Waterspool, which is a suburb of
Upper Hut Marcus, and the head candles in the house
for light for light using candles, But then the family

(48:33):
walked up to the top of the Wallasforkhill road up
the hill and as a family and the straw sat
at the top of the hill markets and saw the
street lights of Upper Heart Electricity come on for the
very first time.

Speaker 11 (48:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Because the light must have seen it must have seen
extraordinarily bright.

Speaker 7 (48:51):
I'm not too sure, but I've actually written up a
love the account about that.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Brilliant Okay, Margaret, cheers for that, Steffanie, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening. Yeah you got a copy, Stephanitely welcome.

Speaker 19 (49:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep yet bomb here mate, Yeah, Jay,
I will be working in the morning, ye yep. But
the Monday I won't be working.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Oh so that's good for you then, is that what
you're saying?

Speaker 19 (49:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I worked on Saturday, I get
time and a half on the day.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
And Loup, yes you should. Uh of the state of
the nation house the number of trucks you're singing, oh lots.
It's not down with the fuel or anything. You're not
seeing a reduction, not.

Speaker 15 (49:43):
Really, not really.

Speaker 19 (49:46):
Most companies have got what they call path, which is
fuel as just as something. And yet yep, so they
keep on running. And those that are carding to supermarkets
and they've got to keep going because.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Everyone wants food, because you got to do today. When
do you reckon, you'll be out of a job and
there'll be robots driving.

Speaker 9 (50:14):
Oh not for a long time.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Not easy on anyway, probably good things. Definitely, thanks so
much for that. Twenty five past nine. As a person
living with chronic illness, I'd like a robot to help
me out. It could bring meals, get my med, some
beaches there of something in an emergency. Even watched any
scary movies about robots, Marcus, just listened to show about wallabies.
Just wondering if you have an info about the wild

(50:37):
pigs in their Shburton high Country. Never seen before in
my fifty five years of holiday and there, but I
believe there are reports now of sightings. Marcus beer Hare.
I was having trouble with the TV in di app update.
Nothing would load. But then I realized I had a
second device which was logged in with my account at
correct itself. What's happened at the app on the second device?
Just so I've passed it on in case he has

(50:58):
the same as you have a good night. Oh this
is interesting technology. You would have thought texting would have
been a round way before telephone owned. Surely a voice
would be more difficult to transmit than a bunch of letters. Well,
I guess the original texting was letters, isn't that right?
Or pigeons? Hello? Briefly good skiing conditions on a deck
in Willington Hills as the hail showers arrived, dropping the

(51:21):
temperature to four point five. Allen was that today, goodness,
it's hard to keep up with the weather. Robots. I
don't know why I could just say robots. I am
worried about the old. I saw some steps day. For
every retired person, there's four workers. In the year twenty sixty,
for ever retired person there will be two workers. Saw

(51:42):
my first dead wallaby close to Lake tar Whatever Taraweta
looked like a big rat, especially the tail. I'm still
freaked out by. I'm just don't I was reading that
text of thinking out if I was seriously whether I'd
want a robot looking after me. Hello, Marcus, I don't
reckon I would. There might not be an alternative, But

(52:04):
I imagine in the rest home with the robot, come family,
your medications, your medications, and your dinner. Oh, mister l
I don't reckon there's anything good about it, you know.
I used to look forward to the future with flying
cars and no one working. Now records, just robots at
the door, tapping at your windows late at night, tap
tap tap. There's the robots closing in terrifying Richie. It's Marcus.

(52:26):
Good evening, Hey Marcus, A good thank you, Richie.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
I am.

Speaker 20 (52:30):
I just flicked to flick you on and I heard
you're talking about some people are commenting on kind of
jobs being shifted towards.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
AI or robots.

Speaker 20 (52:39):
I guess yes, I think personally, I've been kind of
contemplating this one for a little while. I'm a user
of like tech GPT and AI. I've found it like,
really really useful. I wonder something that I was just
kind of pondering, and it made some a bit far
fetched by nanotechnology. So we've got these tiny, tiny, kind

(53:01):
of microscopic little robots, like little robots, and I wonder
I just had this thought, what if we could Now
this sounds a bit freaky, but what if we could
get those into our bloodstream and program them to scrape
the cholesterol build up off then sides of arteries. I'm
sure they've imagine what it would do for us. Imagine

(53:22):
imagine what it could change, you know, for our health outcomes.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
I'm sure they're working on that, wouldn't they be.

Speaker 20 (53:29):
Yeah, I have heard rumors and it incredibly sounds incredibly invasive.
But I just think the applications we get so because
generally the people you know, are ruling class, they have
a bit of power, and they come across the technology.
Generally it gets used to nefarious ends, you know. So
it really depends on what hands that technology is in.

(53:52):
But when you let your imagination wander a little bit,
the applications of that kind of thing could be amazing, unless.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
It means that everyone would just continue to sell them
promote incredibly unhealthy food because they wouldn't need to worry
about their health.

Speaker 20 (54:06):
Yeah, there's the ye for sure, or yeah, I mean, yeah, absolutely,
there's a lot of kind of critical thinking to happen
around that interesting quick google.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Quick Google show that there engineers working on that ten
years ago and then nothing until one year ago. So
it seems as though it's probably a great idea, but
there must be challenges.

Speaker 20 (54:26):
Yeah, oh yeah, for sure. Why that kind of technology
would take a lot of there'd be a lot of
trial and error, I assume. Yeah, but like even going
to the dentist, the dentist is a really not a
nice place to go. Quite grudgingly, what's going on there
for the dentist?

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Yeah, it looks feels like it's feel still privative around
there with sort of scrapers at the back. It's not good.

Speaker 20 (54:46):
Yes, oh my gosh, Yes, this is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 8 (54:50):
Where are the robot?

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Where's the mouth robot? Making everything sordered? Yeah, well, it's
a robot.

Speaker 20 (54:56):
I was on I was on holiday not long ago
in Thailand, and I had an issue with the inside
of my jaw. So the jaw was actually growing inwards
and it was starting to pierce through the gums. I
was feeling like to shut cut. So what they're to
do is there to cut a flap of the gum
and fold it down and then grind the jaw down
with pretty much what was like a hand, like a

(55:16):
what felt like a steel file. And I was thinking
to myself, wouldn't it be great if something could just
scan my mouth, find out where the problem is, and
then use lasers painless laser cuts just to really precisely
take out exactly what needs to be taken out.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
I'm with you there, richually three D printed. We are
talking robots. Your thoughts on robots and the technology that
probably you think was the most difficult for people to
cope with. I'm just wondering what it was like when
power lines were introduced, but also flying, I mean, you amazing,
it's amazing. For fifty years they made to get anyone
on a plane. When do the people invent planes? But
ninety oh eight was it. I mean I would have

(55:54):
gone a plane for the first forty years, fifty years,
sixty years, it'd be. My take just seems so unfeathombly irrational.
Give be in touch. If you're and goats, goats and wallabies.
Someone wants to know why there aren't companies shooting goats
for pet food. I don't think pets eat meat anymore.

(56:16):
They I think pizzaid. I see people at the supermarket.
They buy sex of looks like neutral grain, looks like
meeting neutral grain. No meat anymore. I don't know what
it is. It's good for the gums and stuff. Crunch, crunch, crunch,
the old can of Chef's gone. I want there. They

(56:37):
want crunchy things like a cereal. Or there's Trump coming
out of that beautiful looking helicopter. When I say coming out,
I guess that's what he is doing. I don't know
where he is. He hasn't really nailed the salute. Has
every half hearted. Ah, get in touch people if you
want to be part of it. Goats. People keep telling

(56:58):
me that goats is the most popular meat in the world.

Speaker 21 (57:00):
But is it.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I reason there's that many people getting goat alan that's
something people make up. I reckon chicken would be the
world's most popular meat, wouldn't it? What's the dan? Can
you get the AI Rank of Meats? AI Rank of meats?
Would what will you ask? Could you please give me
the top ten most eaten meats around the world? Well,

(57:23):
you don't what to do? You're the AI expert. Good evening, Hunter,
This is Marcus.

Speaker 11 (57:27):
Welcome you cured the Marcus.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
How good?

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Thank you? Hunter?

Speaker 9 (57:31):
Good good.

Speaker 22 (57:31):
Hey.

Speaker 9 (57:32):
I think it is actually the most widely eaten meat,
and I think that's mainly due to India and their
lack of the eating of the beef.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Yeah, they're really religious beliefs.

Speaker 23 (57:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Wouldn't you eat the sheep?

Speaker 16 (57:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (57:42):
Well, I suppose goats have got a harder foot and
they are better producer and they survive waterless.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Yeah, or they don't see many people in China eating
You don't hear the Chinese talk about go do you?
I don't know about that. Well, I'm out of a
depth with this.

Speaker 9 (57:59):
I think, yes, I think with a goat, it's just
such a hearty animal, and particularly in New Zealand, it
was something of the same. It was used to drop
around the place. Again, like I mentioned, they don't actually
need water, parguliarly moisture from grazing. So it's a great
thing for island nations, you know, or anywhere where you've
got an arid arid climate, cashmere because.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Of all those islands around them, you see, and there's
always a goat island where they chuck goats on a
you're right.

Speaker 9 (58:27):
I think there's about forty seven goat islands in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Oh you're good, Yeah, okay, right, yeah.

Speaker 9 (58:33):
Okay, so yeah, and that was from them sort of
dropping it off as a resource going away, not even
really knowing if they were ever going to go back.
But it was just a partucker in that in that regard. Yeah,
just a pantry really, But it is delicious meat. It's lean,
it's high in protein, and a goat is a producer
of milk and it can have up to four kids,

(58:53):
you know, whereas sheep can often only have one.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Why do they need water? What do they get all
from leaves today.

Speaker 9 (59:01):
Yeah, correct, So they draw it out of there the Yeah,
so they draw it out of the grazing. So and
even early morning or late afternoon grazing, so you'll get
moisture on the leaf or on the on the graft.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Are a lot of Are you a big gunt consumer?

Speaker 11 (59:19):
When I can?

Speaker 9 (59:19):
I mean, as mentioned before, you know, New Zealand's got
a lot of deer, New Zilm's got a lot of
peg And I mean both of those are great alternatives
to what you're getting from the supermarket. But yeah, very much.
A curry go curry always good. I mean it's not
the kind of thing you want to chuck on the barbecue,
don't get me wrong, but prepared correctly and the right

(59:41):
age animal.

Speaker 8 (59:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Is it too gayly smelling on the barbecue? Is it
the problem?

Speaker 24 (59:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (59:47):
I think it does have quite a quite an odor. Again,
particularly a nania abili or a kid you're going to
You're going to get a difference there. Yeah, And I
think that puts a lot of people cook cook early
on and I mean, you know, as the animal itself
goes doesn't exactly a very nice smell. So, but you know,
cut it up, so and lemon juice, break down the

(01:00:07):
connective tissues, chucking some curry powder, you're away laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Do the eyes freak you out with those sort of
square bits in their eye?

Speaker 25 (01:00:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:00:17):
Quite a unique little little lie. I mean the majority
of it freaks out to be honest market. But you
know when when it's when it's it's you in your
in your next meal, you know you'll do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Good on you had to thank you. Really, I've didn't
know that I knew about goats, didn't realize it was
their lack of water. It's a very good point. The
five ranks of the five most eaten foods around the world.
Number one is chicken. Number two is pork. Number three
is beef. Number four is sheep. Number five is goat.
Number fish would be including fish if you include fish,

(01:00:52):
so five is goat, six is turkey or turkey, seven
is duck, eight as buffalo, nine is goose, ten is rabbit.
What will be eleven? It's very interesting list, that is it?
When where's panglin? Was big in the day, won't it penty?
Throw away from ten o'clock? Hi, glinnas, it's Marcus, good evening,
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:01:12):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Thank you Glennis good.

Speaker 10 (01:01:16):
I just said you were talking about robots. I've just
turned on not long ago. I just wanted to tell
you a little story about my sister who went to
her specialist the other day and she's going to have
a knee replacement done and guess what a robot's Can
I do it?

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
Really?

Speaker 11 (01:01:40):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:01:41):
Really?

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:01:42):
Love.

Speaker 10 (01:01:43):
That's on Hawk's Bay here at private hospital, and apparently
it's very successful. I didn't even know there was a
robot that did things like that, but yeah, no, she's
going to have a robot.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
I'm kind of staggered.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
So that is a what is the knee new replacement?
It's a hinge joint? Is it's a hinge? How would
they do that?

Speaker 5 (01:02:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:02:08):
I don't know, but you're definitely a robot was going
to do the operation?

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Did she.

Speaker 21 (01:02:16):
Do?

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
We people in the room all there, I would imagine.

Speaker 10 (01:02:19):
So, yeah, apparently it's done other operations that have been
very successful. So we will wait and see you. I said,
you know, I'd love to watch that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
We probably can. You probably just tap into your computer
and you can look it up.

Speaker 17 (01:02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:02:37):
Yeah, so something I didn't know that was happening around here,
but definitely else.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
So with a knee, you get a titanium knee, don't you.
Is that what happened? Yes, yes, yeah, And so that's
got to be inserted into both the femur and the tibia.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Yea, yeah, hmmm wow.

Speaker 10 (01:02:58):
I would imagine there'd be a doctor in the background.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
But you know, well how it fits in America with
malpractice and stuff. I guess there's probably someone's got to
be sort of a human that's got to have the
overall riding control of it all in case it goes bad.

Speaker 10 (01:03:12):
I would think, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:03:15):
Interesting, that's fast.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
I found that fascinating. H appreciate they're let us thank you,
well goodness, robots do your knees, Marcus Dave, good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:03:28):
Yeah, here are you, Marcus? Who robots are assembling tars
pretty much from go to one. So you know, did
you mention penguin?

Speaker 13 (01:03:40):
Let me ask you.

Speaker 24 (01:03:41):
And penguin's a little scaly like four legged slugs. People
eating pengulins.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Were always always do you remember when COVID was called
the coronavirus and someone there was talk that someone had
been that had been got from penglin at the wet
market because people were eating pengulins. So, yes, they are eating,
don't I don't know what the good. But they're like
an armadillo, aren't they?

Speaker 24 (01:04:04):
Yes, a very small We're like a little slug, the
scaly slug on four legs. That's why it blows me away.
Doesn't seem much on them. And in your list on
your list is fish not part of meat?

Speaker 14 (01:04:19):
We didn't want.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
I don't think we specified that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
No.

Speaker 24 (01:04:23):
Now this AI business and where between reality and false
reality is perceived. I wonder whether that will be on
the increase, Marcus, whether we will be at times questioning
reality or what is? And I hope not, which brings
me out of another little thing where it comes from

(01:04:44):
last night. Voting on promises or policy that promises promises,
promises to all your prayers. Where I think we should
vote on past performance, competency, ability and merit rather than
wishes and fairy tale dreams that don't repay debt and
hoping for a stable government. Now, what I I'm referring

(01:05:07):
to is that you referred to. You said voting on policy,
But policy in this day and age is just offering
pretty much everything that you desire and more, but they
don't fulfill that, and to which I think we should
look at the bigger picture and there is past, past politicians,

(01:05:33):
past confidency, and the ability and merit, and this is
what we should vote on rather than policy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Although good luck getting telling people how they should choose
who they vote for. That you're suggesting there'd be a
good idea.

Speaker 24 (01:05:47):
Right well, I well, me and my way of thinking
that this is better than everyone promising the world and
delivering little rather than look at one's ability and merit
and competency and vote on that. Just also remembering that
we are in the MMP situation. I don't I don't
care for MMP at all. In fact, I think it

(01:06:08):
should go. There's no accountability, and I think for this
reason is mostly for that reason, the MMP's got to go.
Apart from that, I wish you a good evening and
good to hear you on.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Thanks very much, Dave. I suppose what when he says
the MP has no accountability, I guess half the MPs
do not have an electorate that they are responsible to.
I think that's probably what he's referring to the list MPs,
although they're all gone Bierger, aren't they Well, if the
nets continue to poll where they're polling, I mean a
lot of the lists guys will don't come Monday. Guys

(01:06:44):
and girls only seem to be the guys though, doesn't
it picking out bobseyde allegedly sixteen to ten because you've
got to place the Daily Mail that the Daily Mail's
got editorial today and they are having a go.

Speaker 8 (01:06:58):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
David Edinburgh, as he approached one hundredth birthday, for not
having enough to good say about humans. Yeah, yet there
is a side tom which is a stinctly chilli and
it consumes attitude to one particular species, homost apiens. He
has a little good to say about us, as long argued.
The way anything but trouble.

Speaker 22 (01:07:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Anyway, Joe, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 26 (01:07:23):
Hi, dear Marcus. Yet you've had a quite a colorful
program on tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Oh, I thank you for your feedback.

Speaker 26 (01:07:33):
Yes, that the subject that you were last talking about
with I can't remember what her name.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Was, Glens.

Speaker 26 (01:07:44):
Yeah, it was quite interesting anyway, and so I just
think it's it's quite fascinating anyway. Apart from that is
what's happening with the political scenery.

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
Shall we say.

Speaker 24 (01:08:03):
Signed this?

Speaker 26 (01:08:05):
Who would the deal they're doing with the Asia or
Undi or somewhere. It's sort of right, quite frightening.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
What's properly you to bring about?

Speaker 18 (01:08:14):
That could have been on news?

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Okay? Thanks Joe, twelve away from at ten o'clock. The
number is eight hundred and eighty twenty nine nine text.
I thought she was gonna say she had robot surgery.
We'll keep going on that vein if we can robot surgery.
People say that it's actually not the road. Well, there's
a surgeon in the room, Marcus. When you have a

(01:08:39):
robotic knee replacement, it's not as six as it sounds.
The surgeon's a complete control throughout the operation. The surgeon
uses a robotic arm computerized to enhance the secrecy based
on a three D model of your damage knee. I'm
about to have mine done, Mike, Paul said, head the
horse pie for lunch, spit in the afternoon with a trot,
Thanks Paul. Corned goat is great. It's like corned beef.

(01:09:01):
Been to India many times. There are goats everywhere. However,
I've never seen a sheep. It's probably too hot for sheep,
especially with all the wool. I'm surprised there aren't more
goat farms in New Zealand catering for that market, or
there aren't more people harvesting the feral goats because they
are everywhere. Graymouth's got a problem with goats and the

(01:09:22):
council won't fund the culling. It's not really their core business,
is it. It's been a problem for a while, the
Greymouth goats, feral goats ten away from ten. If you
want to talk about wallabies and goats, we're also onto
bit of a pest show tonight too. Not a problem
with that. Keep you updated if you want to talk

(01:09:45):
Hitte twelve nine from ten, eight away from ten ganesh
it's Marcus. Thanks for calling, and good evening.

Speaker 5 (01:09:53):
You have a good evening, Marcus. Yet, I just wanted
to give my opinion at the goats because I'm a
pure vegetarian, so I don't actually touch me, but my
parents they eat to eat coat all the time. The
reason actually mislike as for my observation, the goat eat
the leaves on the eye level and which is very

(01:10:14):
little bit higher sight, so they don't eat the grass.
That's why the meat is very healthy. And I don't
eat goat meat, but I prefer goat milk. It's like
very high potassium in the goat milk, and yeah, it's
very healthy as compared to the chicken. I can see

(01:10:35):
the chicken who pick that. I don't know. I found
very yuki when I saw the chicken. They eat from
the ground, so they eat sometimes unwanted stuff as well.
But if you look at the goat, they eat the
grass on the eye level, on the leaves, so they
never actually graze on the grass or something like that.

(01:10:57):
So it's very spatial. That's why in India they prefer
goat meat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Because of because of the unpleasant stuff on the ground.
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
Correct? And yeah, and some of that community in India
they predominantly eat only sheep milk, sheep sheep meat or
lamb meat. Yeah, so the test is a little bit
different than goat. But yeah, but it's in India, so
shep meat also is available, like lamb is still available there.

(01:11:32):
Even the ship milk is still available. People they do
prefer to drink those kinds of milk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Do you get goat milk in New Zealand?

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Yes, I do. Drink milk as a goat milk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Is it easy to get hold of?

Speaker 13 (01:11:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
It is really available here in a supermarket.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
I've never seen it. So you can get shep and
goat milk at the supermarket.

Speaker 5 (01:11:54):
Correct, And they actually the is like shelf life of
the goat milk. I'm not the ship milk is just
a four days, so once you open, you need to
finish that ship milk within four days. But goat milk
the shellf life's shelf life. Actually it's a little bit
higher because there is no need to pasturize that goat milk.

(01:12:17):
So that's why that can stay longer. But it was
very happy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
I wonder why I need to pasteurize it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
I don't know miss that.

Speaker 11 (01:12:26):
Actually I come across.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Someone ll know. Is it strong? Is goat milk strong tasting?

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Yes? It is pretty Sometimes it's very the test is
very strong as compared to cow milk and the ship milk.
But yeah, sometimes I just like, you know, I drink it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
Okay, appreciates Thanks so much for the very interesting Jonats
Marcus Hello, Hello, Hello.

Speaker 27 (01:12:54):
Yeah, hi, I just wanted to let you know. I'm
a seventy eight too old female and I have just
got back from India four months ago after major back
surgery done.

Speaker 5 (01:13:05):
By a robot.

Speaker 27 (01:13:06):
It was done in Mumwai at Wackhart Hospital, and that
hospital deals in all robot surgery for knees hips, some
brain surgery, heart surgery, back surgery, and they say they're
twenty years ahead of New Zealand, so it sounds that
they are major surgery. I was going to have huge

(01:13:28):
scars if I had it done here in New Zealand,
and I now have scarring my back of only ten
centimeters long and walking twenty four hours after the surgery,
and I came home two weeks later.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
How many days through in India.

Speaker 27 (01:13:46):
The whole journey took was two weeks. I was five
days in hospital and ten days in a hotel just
watching my recovery, and then I flew back home again.
It's the best thing I've ever done. I am now walking,
paying free. I'm allowed to run again in another month,
and I've never looked back.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Fantastic.

Speaker 27 (01:14:09):
The recovery was marvelous. They said there would be very
little chance of infection because it's a robot doing it,
no human hands, and the scar is only as I say,
ten centimeters long. And I've got major screws and goodness
knows what's in my back to hold it in place.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
How long had you had you needed that surgery before
you had it? Is that something you'd been wanting to
have for a long time.

Speaker 27 (01:14:35):
I had wasted a long time. I had an injury
when I was only sixteen. I fell off.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
It's been a lifetime. It's been sixty years.

Speaker 27 (01:14:42):
Then, Wow, in the last five years, I'd had two
major falls back onto my buttocks, and I had damaged
my phone considerably. So the nerve damage was quite considerable
in the and I was finding walking and everything was painful,
and I was starting to not know where my feet
were with the nerve changes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
It's extraordinary, Joan, thank you so much for that. I
really appreciate that call. Just I'm just trying to find out.
I don't know if I've missed it.

Speaker 25 (01:15:11):
The news.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Is it going to get updates on State Highway three?
Someone said it's going to be closed until May. A
new truck is out there. No about that because a
texture has come through and said Marcus, there is an
update on State high threats closed until May. Second, at
the stage, I can't find that update. We got some

(01:15:32):
more information about that. Let me know. That's the one
through moreco up to Pure Pure and it seems to
be an extremely extremely vulnerable recently as if for the
weather patterns of cause there to be more scouring there.
But yeah, it's a pretty amazing road. The last time

(01:15:54):
I went there on a bus it was unbelieved through
on a bus it with unbelievable the views on the
other side of the river we are talking about. We
are talking about robots and goats and robots surgery and
goat's milk and wild goats and wallabies pick a topic. Basically,

(01:16:15):
it's all good. There is a serious motorcycle extant NETMUKA
single vehicle extent that's happened tonight and Powerball of five
point five million has gone good. Even Rubens Marcus, welcome

(01:16:36):
Tilda Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:16:37):
Going to Lean from normal to New Plymouth and of
course State Highway three our Kunal and if you go
and have a look online at the slipper is just enormous.
It's about two rugby fields long by two rugby fields high,
and well sorry, it's about yeah, two hundred meters by

(01:16:57):
two hundred meters. If I reckon, just as the crow
flies and it's massive, and so the saying it'll take
tool well and well not well into May, but early
May till before they can clear it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
So we know where the old tunnel is. There is
a bubble below.

Speaker 21 (01:17:14):
There the old tunnel. These notes, well, tunnels long gone.
There's Messinger.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
This is our Yeah, yeah, there's to be a tunnel
there that I'm for true, true, Yeah. I just think
I'm just to think how far up the gorge it is.

Speaker 28 (01:17:32):
It's a good question.

Speaker 21 (01:17:35):
I couldn't tell you, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Because the thing is they're spending all that money on
the Mount Messenger tunnel and situation, But that's not going
to solve the situation the gorge, is it? Because they
are different roads.

Speaker 21 (01:17:46):
It's a billion billion dollars by the time they've done
on that Messenger and yep, which is good and good
to here the money spent in our area.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
But but there's not going to tell the problem. But
what point of spending all that money on about messengers?
Is just funding people into a road that seems to
be really unreliable.

Speaker 21 (01:18:03):
I guess that's the extrainful that we're having. We're having
like two or three of these incidents a year where
the gorge keeps taken out for a week, and so
I guess when it was all it probably wasn't considered
at a time.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
Yeah, so I imagine, I imagine there's no diversions, because
even the forbidden highways no good, is it.

Speaker 21 (01:18:26):
I do know one little goat track, but I wouldn't
want to say it on yeah, because it had caused
it a ruckus.

Speaker 28 (01:18:32):
Yeah, on that road.

Speaker 21 (01:18:33):
But but but as a goat track, and and yeah,
but yet straight away forty three through one moment it
is the only way or otherwise woman normally Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
So would you would your stuff, your peck and save
supplies and things? Would they be coming down to the
fungal moment of road? Would that be big enough for those?

Speaker 21 (01:18:54):
They'll go all the freight will go around long? We know,
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
Okay, Wow, it's pretty isolated, isn't.

Speaker 13 (01:19:01):
It, Kareniki?

Speaker 21 (01:19:03):
Yeah, yeah, I guess this is mine to ye, Yeah,
it's and that's what the interestus was to send the
money on the Mountain Messinger. But of course, yeah, just
of the amount of rain that we're getting. And we
didn't used to have this. Oh this is always debatable,

(01:19:24):
the course, but we didn't used to have this many
storms that that you know in then the area aren't
just it's just taking it out every two or three months.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
And it makes you wonder the merit of closing that
railway between Toma de Nui and Stratford too, because that
was another supply line, because they could have been putting
a freak down on the trains when the road has gone.
That's crazy.

Speaker 21 (01:19:53):
Yeah, yeah, and now that's just ChEIs for terrourism.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Now that golf embarrassing okay, but yes it's.

Speaker 21 (01:20:03):
A bit of a tough week in tarder acadect Hea
our last flood Norse and yeah that's for a few weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Is it. Is it impacting your community at all?

Speaker 21 (01:20:15):
Well obviously, well, I mean with freight, but I mean
you know we can go to the slip market and
get food and picture as still, but I mean you
know it will be into and taking industry which willever
flow on effect to all the things you know, jobs,
et cetera. Yeah, if you've seen the slop those you
go on to go on to the name or two

(01:20:36):
advocate and look out and see the first eyes just
a few photos there. Just so from the ear, it's
really really the debts and width of it is it
is quite astonishing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
I kind of saw some shots and I wasn't quite
you know these days you see shots you're not quite
sure that the old ones or not. Okay, there we go.
I'm looking at that. Yet it's right down to the river,
isn't it. Wow? Yeah, I don't have to sign up
for your website, do I?

Speaker 21 (01:21:02):
Anyone can go on to it and yes, yeah, it's
three three for all comers. Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
How many followers are you guys? That's it's a website.
It's it's on Facebook, isn't it.

Speaker 28 (01:21:13):
Yeah, it's both.

Speaker 21 (01:21:14):
It's the Yeah, we sort of generate the tramp at
through Facebook and in you can clack through the website
for more in debts writing and yeah, it's something I'm
just sort of building up as a bit of a
doing it for for the last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Yeah, it looks excellent. Forty two thousand followers. That's not
to be. That's not suareby?

Speaker 13 (01:21:33):
Is it?

Speaker 21 (01:21:34):
We work in progress?

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Nice to talk, Thanks so much, Reuben. Now more to
advocate n g A m O tu advocate. That's in
your Plymouth News.

Speaker 17 (01:21:42):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
It's a massive slip. But there we go. If your
truck driver has that affected, you'll get in touch about that.
Also talk about robots, anything and goats. A lot of
goats up the gorge, the Alboquno gorge. Get in touch.
Eight hundred and eighty eight. What do you reckon? Crack
one ten for all this week again, I wouldn't be surprised. Marcus.

(01:22:04):
Kinda Marcus Paul here, I'm a dairy farmer and way Mattie,
I've got the cows. On yesterday morning there was a
wallabye in the yard with the cows. Quite freaky, Marcus.
New Zealand has at least eight of the dar Vinci
surgical robots, which are mainly located in private hospitals. Southern
Cross Healthcare have around seven orthopedic robots. They have recost

(01:22:24):
effective and rapidly expending in numbers in New Zealand. I
don't even know such a thing existed. And someone says,
you get goat milk powder. It's all about goats and slips.
I don't know what it's all about. It's all about
what you want it to be about tonight. If you
want to partake or anything, get in touch Marcus till twelve.
That's crazy with our whole road because a Mount Messenger

(01:22:45):
though spending, because you go north of New Plymouth and
then you go of a Mount Messenger, then you come
to Morco before you get to Alaquino, and then then
you get to the Gorge. So it's two different roads.
And the Mount Messenger was always tricky, but then of
course the Gorge is tricky too because it is a gorge.
You got the river on one side, quite a big river,
and you've got steep hills on the other. It isn't

(01:23:06):
some of it's been cleaned and I think manions in
bush Limestone Country sixteen past ten if you want to talk,
and all the lines are available for you, if you
got to be a part of the show to know
if you've got breaking us let us know anything else.
That's what we are here for people. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine to text. Doesn't look good

(01:23:29):
for the Huapie Tevan, does it. An Auckland man wants
a better management from a rural pub after three old
grandson was assaulted by a drunk patron. Goodness slept anyway
enough for me back at your seventeen past ten this
is Marcus Paul.

Speaker 16 (01:23:45):
Good evening, Oh, good evening, Mark. Yes, if he tried me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Yeah, I've had goat goat carry and goat and goats that.

Speaker 16 (01:23:56):
They go carry. Oh beautiful, beautiful. But a lot of
people are want wind or dying. I think the name
goat just flips them off.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Oh you should rename it a like high sheep or something.

Speaker 22 (01:24:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:24:17):
Well, I was watching one of those shows the other
day where they were shooting a high country gate and
it's no easy seat, you know, you know, getting a
hold of them and climbing up the hill and whatnot

(01:24:38):
and grabbing them and they then dragging them down. But
by goodness me, it's good in me.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Oh, I love it. If you got a sauce pull
to get.

Speaker 16 (01:24:49):
A bit, Yes, I do have a saurce here, Indian
fella who's got a source from a saucer?

Speaker 13 (01:24:58):
Guess?

Speaker 11 (01:24:59):
But and.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
So where's where's most of the goat? You're get an
Indian carrier goat carry? Where's the where's that meat come from?
Is it wild goat or farm goat? I presume it's wild?

Speaker 16 (01:25:13):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (01:25:13):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:25:14):
It's wild goat?

Speaker 16 (01:25:15):
The wild.

Speaker 28 (01:25:17):
High country gay?

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Are there commercial people gathering it? For food.

Speaker 16 (01:25:24):
I'm not sure what the regulations and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
I'm not saying anything shifting about I just want to
know who's doing it.

Speaker 16 (01:25:34):
I think that.

Speaker 28 (01:25:37):
Just the average day, you know, bloat that goes and
gets a goat. You know, Oh Jesus, you put put
one of those and slow cooker for the day.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
Cheap as they see that. That's a sentence I haven't
heard for a while. Put a goat and slow cook.
It'd be a great thing to do. Hard to be brilliant,
appreciate your passion. Pull born of passion marks the way.
There is a text. The way residents and businesses of
Talahak tread by the Ento Ta is woeful. Road works
are always reactive, contract returning time and time again to
fixiated workmanship. No other region would be expected to suffer

(01:26:13):
like we do. And nothing said by elected representatives alf
U Plymouth. We're local councils too busy, been idiots. None
of the stories coming out of the new Plymouth Council
would make anyone get excited about the place. Good pabat Albaquino,
thank you. The Da Vinci surgical robots are driven by

(01:26:34):
surgeon on computer in the next room and even in
another country. Wow, what off the internet went down? You
need good WiFi, wouldn't you? You need a good package.
We're talking goat. Where do they get the goat? Who
are they goat? Is there a goat abertoire a goat
atoy that I'm much about? Goat at all? For a
while there right, probably forty years ago, forty five years ago,

(01:27:00):
there was a goat boom in this country, and goats
were worth a fortune. You know what, I remember the
goat boom before the ostrich boom. There was the goat boom.
You buy a breeding peer for thousands and thousands of dollars.
I don't even know what it was for. But yeah,
people bought goats. Now not so much twenty three past ten.

(01:27:21):
If you want to partake here till twelve, anything else
you want to mention too, don't don't be shy. Is
we have a late hard to ram light, hard to
ramble through the night. We're also talking tripe with my
dinner tonight, which was bluff Oyster's Tripe and power mixed.
Pretty special, yep, not a combination I ever had before.

(01:27:43):
Pretty actually pretty impressive. What he would have made a
good pie would have been a game changer. Now, let
me think. What else I need to tell you tonight?
Is I wait, oh do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
do do Goats? Yeah, I don't know if there's a

(01:28:04):
goat abatoire in New Zealand. I know why you need
a special ABERTOEI I don't really know whage abertwe. I
wish i'd done a season in the abatoir. I'd say that.
The kids today they said you still could. I probably could,
but I don't have goat to go to the abatoire.
But you might have some information about that. All good,
let's be hearing from you. Twenty five past ten. I
mentioned it earlier. I'm just going to remention it today

(01:28:25):
that it's forty years since the Chernobyl dis asked. I
read a good book on Chernobyl and how it all happened.

Speaker 3 (01:28:32):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
I don't know if you could put it into two
sentences why you'd but you know, let me think what
it was. I think it was human error and then
the wrong button was pushed when something did go wrong
and things spiraled out of control. But maybe someone has
been to Chenobyl recently. I don't know if tourists are
still going there for a while. I guess for a
while there on the internet it was a big deal

(01:28:57):
people going to Ghenov. But now, of course it's less
bucolic times over there. But you might have been to
Chernobyl and dig in touch with that. Be curious, Yeah,
a lot of Yeah, it was a there was a
TV show about it, so it's pretty heroin. I'm just

(01:29:17):
trying to look quickly to see if I can remember
reschool myself on what caused it. My recalls not fantastic.
I'm looking for a simple explanation and I google that up.
Now it's gone away. Get in touch if you want to.
Eight hundred and eighty text huge news at the time
because there was the Long Island Disaster Too Human era.

(01:29:40):
During a safety test, operators disabled the safety systems and
ran the reactor at low power, causing a mess of
power surge, a steam explosion in a graphite fire that
released a massive amount of radiation. I think it was
barely designed too in the personnel were inadequately trained. Pretty
much textbook example of a disaster. It's not just one

(01:30:00):
thing it's a number of things, but if you've been there,
pretty amazing. Drone footed shots it. It's kind of the
pines and the vegetation now takes over the whole site.
It's been like that for thousands of years. Wow, nineteen
eighty six, forty years ago, killed thirty operators in Fireman
within three months. That's right, because helicopter pilots had to

(01:30:22):
go in there and poor concrete liquid concrete over it.
It's a pretty unbelievable such and I think they themselves
had died. I think the helicopter people died. I needs
a lot more into that. Shane. It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:30:37):
Hey mate, here are you going good?

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Shane? You're going all right?

Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:30:41):
Yeah, good good brother. Just about Chernobyl. I remember that.
I'm a key. We have lived in Brisbane now, but
always remember when I was in intermediate school thirteen years
old and news reports were coming through that in the UK.
I think it was Sweden. We're picking up radioactive.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, it had maps of the
cloud going across, didn't they. I could see that on
the news where the wood was going.

Speaker 25 (01:31:09):
It was going across. Then they think guys in set
them on a suicide mission to put a cap over it.
A lot of them died when they walked in there.

Speaker 4 (01:31:20):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
I'm just quickly googling it says they didn't the helicopter.
I think it was a bit of a myth that
something the helicopters died. I don't know. They might have
died subsequently from radiation, but I think one helicopter crashed,
but they didn't die straight away.

Speaker 29 (01:31:36):
It seems no, I don't think they did that that
they had the Russian hinds that went in, but there
were people that went in there and they did pretty
much that.

Speaker 25 (01:31:49):
They were dead within a couple of hours.

Speaker 6 (01:31:50):
They were.

Speaker 13 (01:31:54):
Yep.

Speaker 25 (01:31:55):
So and now also the weather in New Zealand at
the moment, what's happening with it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
There's a lot of hers. Every week there's a different storm.
Oh really, yeah, absolute every week there seems to be
a start of emergency. It's out of control.

Speaker 25 (01:32:10):
What just rain storms or hurricanes.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
Or just unbelievable weather events that really there seems to
be more impact from the rain because there's a lot
there seems to be a lot more landslides, like we
saw the situation with Mount Monganu. With those deaths but
now through the Aino there's you know, there's much much,
much more damage to roads and infrastructure.

Speaker 18 (01:32:29):
Really is it?

Speaker 25 (01:32:30):
Is it because like love and trees have been chopped
away and.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
No, it's just it's just it's just the amount of
energy in the rainfall. The rainfall is more intense. They're
just more pressure. These are a lot of these slips
are in areas where there is you know, where the
Albaquino Gorge has got good good forest. It's yeah, it's
not a situation like that, but yeah, just I'm gonna
move on shape. But nice to talk. Thank you for that.

(01:32:54):
Twenty seven to eleven, Laurie. It's Marcus. Good evening, is there, Lurry?

Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
Oh Marcus?

Speaker 13 (01:33:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:33:01):
Sorry and call me?

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
Yeah yeah met you called me, Laurie.

Speaker 24 (01:33:05):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:33:06):
Indeed, there's a butcher shop called Parmi Food City game
Well it's next to the mosque and Cook Street. Uh,
and they've got these specials island goat meat at present,
goat meat available, yeah, or chopped up really for Ramadan

(01:33:29):
Suposly are you do you frequent that I walked past
this several times a week. I haven't actually bought the
stuff from there. It's been on that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
They've got like a kebeb stand outside too. Here they
carry and cadebs looks good.

Speaker 6 (01:33:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, no, it's pretty busy. The uh
the blackboard, I know there's blackboard advertising that's goat pretty
much there all the time. So I guess, you know,
if they're selling it like that, it's got to be
you know, just like the horse meat issue, that it

(01:34:04):
has to be certified and I guess by somebody. I
don't know what their sauces really, where they were they're
getting them from, but it's it's always.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
There because there must be quite a big market for
goat to New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (01:34:19):
Now oh hell you you well, I mean worldwide it's
it's it's the most ecn meat and that supposedly, as
I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
It, I did some research day apparent it's fifth.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
Surprised there was a popular misconception.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
I'll tell I'll tear the order. I'll tell the the
permitive meat number one is chicken number two, US pork
number three, as beef number four, as five, sheep number
five as goat.

Speaker 6 (01:34:46):
Okay, well, maybe that's because it used to be bended
around for quite a while and I generally accepted it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
That was before the Internet. No one fact checked anything.

Speaker 6 (01:34:55):
Before the Colonel Saunders and the Chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
We have never seen this, there's no I mean, you
know it's not the most When did you ever see
a takeaway like Nando's or anyone selling that's never been
as the Kentucky Fried Goat.

Speaker 6 (01:35:09):
Or Yeah, but and quite big volumes. Anyway, this Palmi
food city. I remember coming down the Wanganui River many
years ago. Nextly, the guy at that stage, he was
the Land and Serve ranger. We're in a Canadian canoe
and we're coming through there from Tama down to Piki.

(01:35:33):
But not long after the colors had been through and
they just but they just come down by boat and
they were just shooting goats and they were dropping into
the river and then all the camping spots there was
that he did goats around.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
Sounds pretty grim, but by hearing, I don't think.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
It's ever really uh come back correctly. I was sitting
at the front ende of the canoe paddling along this
ranger guy. He was in the back of the head
his rifle. He didn't say anything. He shot over my
head and shot a goat. Uh, and I got the
boody muzzle bust.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
That doesn't sound like standing operating procedure. That sounds quite bad. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
Yeah, those are the days before ear muffs and stuff
like that. Yeah, I thought it was. That's about jumped
into the Body river.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Did he harvest it?

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
No, no, No, he was just.

Speaker 6 (01:36:28):
He was actually, I mean we were. It was a
recreational trip, but kind of he was putting it down.
He was doing a check on how effective the culling
had been. Basically he saw a couple of that must
and just bangled out on. But yeah, enormous number of
goats in that Wanganui country. I don't know how much

(01:36:49):
culling's going on.

Speaker 28 (01:36:50):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:36:52):
It was the when the angora craze was on. Was
when those prices were.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
There, Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 6 (01:36:59):
Yeah, So it wasn't just any old garden variety goat,
although I think people were using some of them for
in the breeding process. You know, took about yeah, five body,
you know, five sets lifetimes you know, reproduced to if
you're breeding angle into them. That Yeah. No, a lot

(01:37:21):
of people lost a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:37:23):
A lot of money. Then they lost it all again
on the old ostriches.

Speaker 6 (01:37:28):
Yeah, but a couple of years ago, there was a
country calendar thing where there was guys that specialized in
rounding up goats and they thought they were all going
to inabator somewhere. But you know, they had special dogs
and I think they might even had drones as well.
Sort of pretty bloody hard to muster.

Speaker 11 (01:37:50):
Well, how do you do it?

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
How do you get them out? Do you do four
wheel bikes or what do you do? You need you
need to transport the Wooden show?

Speaker 6 (01:37:55):
Yeah, yeah, yet and when they the fencing, they're pretty
pretty hard to keep it. You know, that's sort of
but it's extremely patient. But they these guys on the
country calidary, I thought they were. They were pretty skilled.
Out of the sort of any big muster and that's

(01:38:18):
a rough country. They normally get him out of anyway.
If anyone's at Parmy wanting to go meet that's it's
a worm down there at prison.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
I'm looking for to your report, Laura, keep me let
me know about that. Thank you, Laurie Brett Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:38:33):
Welcome, Yes, sir Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:38:37):
I remember my father. He was trying to get lamburgers
on the menu.

Speaker 24 (01:38:44):
Around the world.

Speaker 13 (01:38:46):
You know who's this MC donald's. McDonald's never really grabbed
hold of it. But lamburgers. Have you ever heard of
a Lamberger?

Speaker 22 (01:38:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
Who did you say was getting onto it? Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:38:56):
My old man. He was telling the world that they
should get on to New Zealand lamburgers, you know, And
he was trying to put to McDonald was one of
those who was a bit out there.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
Because Mike Moore was always the king of the He
was always trying to go with a Lamburger too, wasn't he.
Who was Mike Moore?

Speaker 13 (01:39:15):
Yeah, that would have been the time, probably trying to
sell the lamb and why, well, the beef burger, lamburger?

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
You know why, why don't Why aren't lamburger? Is the thing?
Is it too fat? Because you need a bit of
fat for a burger, petty, don't you?

Speaker 13 (01:39:31):
He thinks you have used all sorts of bits of
ears And.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
You don't know why Lamb didn't take I guess that.
Guess Burgers are American things and they it wasn't really
part of them.

Speaker 13 (01:39:46):
Yeah, they do. They write lambs. They're not their friendly
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
I think the Americans do, like, don't they do?

Speaker 13 (01:39:53):
They don't know, That's why I didn't take off.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
That's what I reckon.

Speaker 13 (01:39:59):
The irishould have a lamb. The Irish, Yeah, he will
then make a lamburg or something.

Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
Well, I don't know if that's the thing, would they would?
What would the Irish?

Speaker 11 (01:40:11):
Mate?

Speaker 6 (01:40:11):
One?

Speaker 13 (01:40:13):
Look, they got lots of sheep.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
No have they kind of anometer of the island lives talking? Okay,
that makes sense.

Speaker 13 (01:40:19):
They've got gouty looking sheep. They don't know what you
don'dn't understand in the field with one year who.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
Charge McDonald's about ten years ago, tried a lamburger but
it was underwhelming. Well it's tasted. I think it tasted
for chewy.

Speaker 13 (01:40:37):
They needed a bit of guacamole or something.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
Well, yeah, I did try one. Anything else from you?

Speaker 11 (01:40:45):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:40:45):
The possums are everywhere, and goodness knows what. We could
make hats out of them and sell them to the
poor cold people somewhere are.

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
The people moaning about the possums so much? Have we
got them under control?

Speaker 13 (01:40:59):
Well? People making money out of them?

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
Okay, let's talk more about that too, think you twenty
twelve two thirty for the lamboo featuring a lamb Paddy
beatrit egg Aoli on a weak germ bun. I don't
think they were fantastic. That's my prediction. That's my take
on it. I was curious, but it wasn't it kind

(01:41:22):
of did it more out of patriotism, Marcus. I've sold
goat meat to chefs for years, purchased from purchased from
premium game. It's a wild from certified suppliers, along with Venison, Wallaby, Tar,
et cetera. Marcus. The woman from Hooker thicker with the

(01:41:46):
problems with the skybox generally with the equipments that felt
they will wave one hundred on a called out for you,
maybe she should ask them you. I agree, so as
I can count the times of benishing noble on one
hand at seven Marcus. The slip is roughly between the
old Tunney Old Tunnel and the Awaco Road, halfway through
the gorge. And as far as I know, State Hurry

(01:42:07):
forty three between Stratford and Ohuda is still closed. Yeah,
hooda got I saw some footage of a Hooda They
got flooded, and ye says you say. The biggest mistake
Kiwi Rail ever made was closing the track between Stratford
and tom Renui. My workplace is next to the railway
tracks in Stratford and the amount of logs been railed
to Port Taranaki is phenomenal. And also so there's the

(01:42:31):
main trunk line, and there was the line between tom
Renau and Stratford called the Slo Stratford Curda line, and
then you could go from Stratford down to Wellington. That
is still an existence that line. But if there was
other trouble the main trunk line, that gave them a backup.
They could send stuff the other way. But they just
they just let it run down, mothbolled it to hell

(01:42:54):
of it. It's a hell of a train trip. But
that's a situation. I don't know if that was told,
I was after told. I think Ki was brought back
Lamberger on the menu at Kadrone a part rep meet
from Royal Burn Station.

Speaker 17 (01:43:09):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
The Ostrich has a nine kilogram drumstick and a thirty
two kilogram carcass. Goodness sixteen away from eleven Hea til twelve.
It seems as though the Iranians have detained three ships
on the Strait of Hormuz, BBC reporting a third ship
has been attacked. Maritime intelligence company Vanguard told the BBC

(01:43:32):
the BBC verify that must be them of a show
that the ship was targeted six nautical miles off the
coast of Iran. Vanguard said the visa was hailed by
the Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and instructed to drop anchor.
The ship was reported damaged to the hull. The ship
has reported damage to the hull end accommodation. So there's
three ships detained. So just say drop an anchor, and

(01:43:54):
you drop an anchor, otherwise you get the torpedo. Thanks
to everyone who rang and last night about losing their car.
Went to bed smiling, Michelle. That was unbelievable. That guy
that bike around Parmesanal for four weeks. Ah, that's bloody brilliant. Marcus.
We just traveled from Tokenema to Strapford today on State
High forty three. Right, it was open very much in
use Tomau to take a rim rules to open as

(01:44:18):
you can go from Tamaanhu to Strip from State Hi
forty three Clayton State Harway forty three. Is that one
of the songs about who's got the pub now? Pete Marcus, welcome,
Can I just sit me to it?

Speaker 15 (01:44:31):
I'm just on the he' zell And Transport Agency now
and definitely the wangamometer and Tama and NUIs have been
reopened this afternoon, so that's basically ready to go again.
And basically what you were saying about that tunnel with
the closure is up by between Pow Pew and Kino.

(01:44:52):
It's basically I think it's past that tunnel, which is
not a tunnel now.

Speaker 6 (01:44:56):
I know on your main stuff, you can't believe.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
I can't believe. They can't believe they got rid of
that tunnel.

Speaker 15 (01:45:01):
In some ways I can, and there's just kids love
it made.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
That duty that tunnel tunnel.

Speaker 15 (01:45:09):
It's good having a tunnel, but the restrictions were flows
that goes through the amount missions are saying, so that's
the best thing that's ever had.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
Oh yeah, but you know, but what you said, the
best thing ever happened. It's justas because the road to
the gorge is such a dog's breakfast. You guys that
counts on your plymouth ought to get a bit more
serious about the roads because you guys are trapped in
prisoner there. You don't know resilience whatever, when the earthquake comes, well,
when Taranaki erupts.

Speaker 15 (01:45:36):
Yeah, below new Zealand's like that just part of living.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
Just you just duel like that.

Speaker 15 (01:45:41):
No, it's just a big gorge.

Speaker 11 (01:45:43):
What do you do?

Speaker 17 (01:45:43):
You can't.

Speaker 15 (01:45:44):
It's very Coston. You just can't crossing us a fortune
and build a mount missions just to do that stricture,
you know, is it just about terrain? In New Zealand?
You were limited what we can do? You know, you
just don't think on building tunnels and digging through big mountains.
Can you cos go?

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
Broke markers?

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
They should have redirected the road up Marrakopa Way, I reckon, Yeah, they.

Speaker 15 (01:46:04):
Couldn't have gone. That's why they took the root of
mess and they couldn't go around the seaside.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
No talking after after that you go you go coastal.

Speaker 15 (01:46:12):
No, they couldn't do that because because they where the
pipeline now is there. They wanted to go that way,
but that's slipping all the time, the pipeline slipping. They've
had the dear reps are there because it's moving. Yes's
why they didn't do. That's what they had to go
through amount messenger and no option there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
Did you walk on that work on that pipeline, Pete, No,
I did not work on there, But you'd be great
on a pipeline, I reckon.

Speaker 15 (01:46:34):
I've done a little bit of welding sort of stuff,
not actually on pipelines as such. But yeah, that's the
reason why they didn't go around the coastline around the
Mount Messenger because it was wasn't viable to do that.
They couldn't do it. It was going to going across
the fortune and to repair that road. All the times
this wasn't wasn't worth it. But basically, yeah, it's so
they so is that that road closure which the gentleman

(01:46:56):
said before, he is dead right, that's going to take it.
So a lot of earth to move, to move to
open that stretch of road up again, but to be
at least till getting of May. I'd say he did
what he said, what what he said?

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
Brilliant Pete. Thanks that Colleen, that's Marcus. Good evening, Yes, good.

Speaker 23 (01:47:11):
Evening Colleen speaking. I string up to thank you the
other night when I was a bit uptight about.

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
You know, for the yes yes, no worries.

Speaker 23 (01:47:20):
Yeah, yes, Well I wrote a letter and I thought,
well letter mightn't get the other way things are, so
I also wrote a sorry rang up the Aukland High Court.
Lovely lady there. She typed it out and sent it
on and also said I wouldn't be called again.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
It's great. I'm pleased about that.

Speaker 23 (01:47:37):
Yeah, I'm getting a bus from Oh we're to the
city and it was for four weeks. It said it's
a bit much.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Yeah, I know that was af You didn't if you're
in your seventies, you didn't want.

Speaker 21 (01:47:50):
To do it.

Speaker 23 (01:47:51):
I mean that that was in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
I think that would be unreasonable.

Speaker 3 (01:47:57):
I know.

Speaker 23 (01:47:58):
But anyway, we're write now, and I just thought it
was managed to bring you back.

Speaker 15 (01:48:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
I appreciate your manners to Colleen, thanks so much. Had
a mother that was always terrify of jury service. It
was one of her great fears. So yeah, so there
we go. That's good that you've got sorted out with
that one. Good on your coll In. I appreciate your
manners too, coming back with that one. One of the shit,
what did they ask your dan when she's in their eighties?

(01:48:23):
I thought it was our seventy three was the upper limit?
It seems wrong to me. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
yes hit or twelve one of us Marcus, good evening,
Do you want to talk? That's what we're about eight
to twelve, eleven five from eleven ended up talking about
roads and infra a structure. Yep, And that's fine. That

(01:48:45):
road between Aaquino and Piopio's closed for a lot longer.
Marcus Auraqino Gorge under the Whitecattle District Council Tranic original
council enter the south of the Morco River. So give
our council, yes, but it's but it's about them. It's
about New Plymouth. It's about the city that stranded. It
very much is a New Plymouth thing because there's no

(01:49:05):
way for their people, for people that are working there
for public because a lot of people commute and either
way they live in New Plymouth and they work in
Hamilton or Auckland or vice versa, and those people can't
get it up and down our So it very much
is a New Plymouth issue. I feeling quite strongly about that.
You Plymouth has real challenges, but they fail to address
near them. They're still stuck on councilors being idiots with

(01:49:27):
the things they say. And I'm a huge fan of
Your Plymouth, but I can't believe that endlessly the only
stories that come out of there are from counselors that
don't just seem serious about the job, just kind of
trying to grab headlines by saying provocative things, and they
don't seem to be punished for it. They always seem
to be re elected. I can't quite work out what's

(01:49:49):
going on, But anyway, your city, your choice. I would
be demanding probably some more serious solutions some of the
problems facing them. That's just me either feel as though
they're in denial about stuff. And how about those goats
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty if you want to
be involved, nine nine to de text to get in

(01:50:10):
touch with it till twelve tonight, Tims along at midnight tonight,
Marcus have had a lamburger from one of the caravan
venues of Warriors game at go Media. Delicious Marcus. The
other night, you're talking about the jury service. I just finished.
I can't believe the day rate of pay is only
sixty two dollars and quite a few people are not

(01:50:32):
getting paid from their employer, leaving a few stressed. Now
wonder so many people tried to get out of it.
Hopefully I'm not called again in the near future. Good
every Marcus, appreciate the show at five of them. Today,
the news on ZIB was about oil off Wamdu and
thirty seven thousand jobs. Potentially that's larger than life. There

(01:50:53):
is a measle super spreader that's come from war boards
over Warnica. Then they've gone to the Altar and using
the music festival in Wellington. Then they've gone to Bowen House,
the Munet and McDonald's Westpa corporate headquarters, Takeita and Mediterranean
foods and also Reburger and the measles would make you
so hungry while and fictious terry. This is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:51:18):
Hey Marcus, I just was listening to you talking about
goat meat, and interestingly I think one of the major
supermarkets being Pack and Save. If I'm allowed to say.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Yes you have and you can yes.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
In Wairau Valley always has goat meat available on in
the meat department. It's cut up into various cuts, chops
and legs and goodness everybody else and having purchased it
a few times, I have to. And it's also a

(01:52:01):
bit cheaper than Lambay.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
You just cut out after having puted it a few
times and you say it was delicious. Is that what
you see it?

Speaker 6 (01:52:10):
Or or yeah, it's delicious, really delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:52:15):
How do you cook it?

Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
I've done it as casserole, but also curries, which works
particularly well. There's also another butchery down in Wairau Valley
I think on Oh, no, I can't remember the name

(01:52:42):
of the street, but it's down in the valley and
they have goat meat there all the time.

Speaker 9 (01:52:53):
And it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Oh what do you what do you call it when
when the hallal it's a halo butchery. Yeah, they have
it there all the time. So obviously there is at
least a supplier that is able to provide that product to.

Speaker 13 (01:53:20):
Well, I would say, is normal retail outlets, you.

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
Know that's stuff terry. You get a pack and say
that you've seen them put you several times. Does that
say on the packaging whether it is wild goat or
it's farm goat? Do they make that distinction?

Speaker 3 (01:53:32):
No, they don't, Okay they don't. I assumed that it
was probably wild goat, but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:53:41):
It's interesting you say about the Halal butchery because I
would imagine if it's killed helal. I don't imagine your
average home killed person. You'd need someone so that for me,
that would indicate there'd be an abitarie, wouldn't it.

Speaker 13 (01:53:55):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
That's my logic too, Terr. I think you're right on
that one.

Speaker 21 (01:53:59):
Yeah, I've never heard of it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:00):
Yeah, so if you've not tried it, well.

Speaker 2 (01:54:03):
Yeah, I think it's, you know, the local Indian restaurant.
The opposite that came up the other day. There was,
he said curry and I went back. We didn't have
one the kids we're back in. Its delicious, yeah, extremely.
I don't know how I could describe the taste. I
guess it's just slightly more It's not a coconuty carry.

(01:54:24):
It's a more kind of a more earthy tasting carry.
I guess you'd say that was the.

Speaker 3 (01:54:28):
One I have, Yeah, exactly. I mean it's it's it's
a true Indian style curry, yeah, ok, rather than a
Thai curry or you know, it's the Asian type curry.
But I think we should be using it. And the
same with the Wallabies. Yeah, that's damn good meat, which

(01:54:54):
you can buy in Australia by Kangaroo of course, and
Wallaby Philips are fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
Okay, we'll talk more about that, Terry. Thank you. If
I can't remember, just kind of think from our caller
last week where the rice came with that carry, I
can't remember anyway, fifteen past then we are talking about
goat and we're it's sourced. If you know anything about
that that would be of interest to me, some of
you will. We live in a farm, and we live
in north on a beef farm. We have wild goats.

(01:55:24):
They are a pest. Every now and then we have
a round up and see them to the works. Not
as much in the past couple of years. We have
new neighbors and there hunters and keep job of keeping
the numbers down. While traveling the United States, I made
a group of Jamaicans. We had stuid goat meat at
Jamaican restaurant. It was beautiful. Yes, Jamaica is really big
on goat meat. And I presume I don't know the
history of that gorpy. It's Marcus Good evening and welcome.

(01:55:49):
So yeah, yeah, so I just a a bit of
a problem with my button Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:55:55):
So goat meat is really good when.

Speaker 11 (01:56:03):
I mean.

Speaker 17 (01:56:06):
You prefer a goat than lamb or sheep because it
it is in general a bit sweetish taste than lamb meat.
And goat what they consume is mostly herbs not grass,
so obviously there is a difference. That is the reason
that the difference in the meat taste. And you were

(01:56:29):
asking how do you cook goat made? It is simple.
You just could cook it like the pressure cooker pressure cooker.
And because you can make simple soup out of it
just using simple herbs at home, and yeah, you can
have a delicious goat carrier at home.

Speaker 11 (01:56:46):
It selvera.

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
Well I was really interested in goopie is where is
the supply of goat from usual? And is it farmed
or is it all wild?

Speaker 17 (01:56:56):
And who I mean in Wellington here they get it
from wild places, but the retailers get it from wild
wild gods, I don't think so they are farm gods
in Weddington's regions.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
So there must be people whose business it is, so
there must be profess There must be a lot because
there's a lot of goat met for sale. There must
be a lot of professional hunters out there killing goat.
It seems yes, I think so. Yeah, Okay, well, brilliant
god the gorby, thank you for that. There we go
twenty past eleven. It's funny last Friday even want to
talk about Lacsona and the polls. But now I don't
know what that's about. I suppose my psychology would be

(01:57:36):
that people have realized probably there's a long time to
go to the election, and it's probably going to be
a pretty exhausting year for political discussion, because none of
the discourse seems to be particularly mature or coming from
a generous, let's make it use even a better place
kind of a vibe. I would think probably that people's
impression of the way politicians conduct their businesses probably a

(01:57:59):
bit of a low, because it all just seems to
be about gamesmanship and putting down the previous govern I
guess no one seems to be leading with any sort
of vision, because it's vision you need a so it
gets people excited. Gibraltar, this is a sad story. Gibraltar's
monkeys are eating mud to avoid upset stomachs from tourists

(01:58:20):
junk food. Macachs have learned to eat soil to avert
gut irritation caused by salty and sugary snacks. Goodness, it
would be a metaphor for all of us. Troops of
monkeys living on the rock of Gibraltar have learned to
eat soil in what scientists believe an effort to settle
their stomachs after all the junk food they receive and
sometimes steal from crowds of tourists. Mud eating knowing is

(01:58:43):
geopharg goodness. Well, well, two thirty macacs. Hello, Peter, it's Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:58:51):
Good evening here, Marcus, Hi, Hi, listen, I'm up here
in Hornby. They used to sell our goat meat and
pack and save at them all And across the road
there's an Indian shop which sells goat meat because because.

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
It seems to be so much of it for sale,
but I just can't work out where it all comes from.

Speaker 22 (01:59:14):
Well, it's it's got to be. It can't be wild
goat meat because it's got to be served certified like
normal meat that you buy in the in the shop
is certified by a meat inspector.

Speaker 2 (01:59:29):
And a lot of it's got to be halal killed too.

Speaker 22 (01:59:31):
I would think that that, well that would be in
the Indian shop. Yeah, it's frozen, so it'd be hell
old killed. But that they sell it in big chunks,
whereas the the pack and save it was sold in
pieces and that was stintled on the packet goat meat,

(01:59:53):
goat pieces for carry.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
Do you think a lot of it's Do you think
some of it's imported?

Speaker 22 (01:59:59):
Well, I mean, yeah, well you used to. I mean
they used to farm goat you because it was a
big market for catching live capture of goats.

Speaker 2 (02:00:11):
Yeah, for a while there was a bit like deer.
They built up stocks from Ohir and Angora, but it
all just kind of I don't know what happened. There
was a whole boom, but it bust, didn't.

Speaker 22 (02:00:19):
It faded out. But that was like the wild deer capture.
Everybody was into capturing wild deer and farming. Then the
farmers were racking up six foot high wooden fences.

Speaker 2 (02:00:30):
There's still quite a lot of deer herds down in Southland,
there's still quite a But my understanding with deer is
that a lot of the market was the velvet. But
then because for that was all sort of.

Speaker 22 (02:00:43):
That collected. But over the West coast, I mean you'll
drive around and you will see the deer fencing up,
but no deer.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 8 (02:00:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:00:53):
Okay. I think a lot of the reason the market
winners because a lot of it was velvet for Asian countries,
and then it all got replaced by viagra because it
was the kind of sexual dysfunction, and then there was
the chemical solution saw that but kind of what was
deemed no longer as effective.

Speaker 24 (02:01:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:01:12):
Now, listen about last week or the week with what
I mean one of your night shift guys that gets
on after.

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
You yep ye or Mike yeah, or jimp about hydro power.

Speaker 6 (02:01:26):
Yes, and I rang up.

Speaker 22 (02:01:28):
Oh well, I rang up, but I didn't get actually
get on here. But there is a dam on the
Arnold River. It's been there for years. It has not
hicked up hooked up to the power network, but it's
just sitting there. It's a fully functional I don't know
whether I can't remember because I used to go up

(02:01:49):
there fishing with overnight there right beside it, down below
the dam.

Speaker 2 (02:01:54):
Remind me where the Arnold River is, Peter.

Speaker 22 (02:01:57):
It's comes you go up up the Gray River and
it comes up off the it turns right off the
Great Trim Trebutary or the Grandmouth River, the Great River.

Speaker 2 (02:02:09):
On the West coast, on the West coast. Yeah, oh yeah, okay,
I'll look into that, Peter. Thank you, Kelvin. This is Marcus.

Speaker 8 (02:02:16):
Good evening, very good eating to your Marcus, how are
you going there?

Speaker 2 (02:02:20):
Good, Calvin?

Speaker 8 (02:02:21):
I heard you just click that little clicker of yours.

Speaker 2 (02:02:24):
There, Kelvindra, you're good.

Speaker 8 (02:02:27):
Yeah, I've rung up about goats. But first of all,
I want to let you know too. I get in
the mail once a year the old car registration sent
to me and I just pay it at the counter
and my local pharmacy which is one counter he's got
there is like a post shop counter, So no problem

(02:02:49):
registering it. And for my old motor cars, and about
seventy dollars a year in there because of its age.

Speaker 2 (02:02:58):
Why would it be cheaper as they're older, because you've
paid more over the years.

Speaker 8 (02:03:02):
Yeah, it's the car, the motor cars because of the
vintage ninety eighty four.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
Does that mean you're not about to drive it though?
If you're only playing seventy bucks, okay, I.

Speaker 8 (02:03:15):
Don't know what tangient your going off on there. And
when you get when you get the seventy, when you
get the seventy five, then he's in the seventy five,
eighty eighty two and eighty four was my last one.
He had got to go for a eye test and
check up and all that carry on Oh, I was saying, yea,
and our goats over and how on these to the

(02:03:36):
other side of the Mighty Whyatta River from where I live.
I haven't been over there for a little while, but
it used to be. Yes, I guess it's still there,
a butchery Halal butchery. And I've been in there and
bought goat goat chops, brought them home and cooked them
up in the fry pan. They're a little bit tough,

(02:03:58):
but they tasted just like mutton. But he had all
different things in the window to sail. His English selling
wasn't very good because he had lion chops. Llo I
in and said, l I loin chops. He had lion
chops And anyway, I didn't bother pointing get out to him.
But on Country Calendar TV, ye, over the years it's

(02:04:24):
had different goat farms there milking goats.

Speaker 2 (02:04:30):
And of course Maryn Marylyn Marilyn Wearing used to be
a goat farmer. Didn't she remember that she was? She
was from Hallway.

Speaker 8 (02:04:40):
I knew she used to play the guitar and sing.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
She's a country singer too, but she's a goat farmer.

Speaker 8 (02:04:46):
Yeah. Well, anyway, the goat farms producing milk. Well, when
the old goat gets getting a bit old, they don't
just let her die in the paddock and bury it.
It'll be like it'll go off to the works, and
that's where the meat's coming from, to the different butchers,
and that from whatever happened to from where, well, going

(02:05:09):
to the butcher shops, heather and thither.

Speaker 2 (02:05:12):
Yeah, but I don't think there aren't big herds of goats.

Speaker 8 (02:05:16):
Well, there will be big herds with with the milking,
with the milking them.

Speaker 2 (02:05:21):
Theyn't Yeah okay, I've never seen a hood of milking goat,
but I guess you might be right.

Speaker 8 (02:05:26):
Yeah, okay, yeah, but you've got to get out more. Marcus, Marcus,
whatever happened to the ostrichers exactly? Well, I did my
share of eating eating ostrich burghers. Then the southern end
of the main street of Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (02:05:44):
Do you know what happened to do you know what
happened to the ostriches Calvin?

Speaker 8 (02:05:48):
Well, well, I did my my fair bit of eating them.

Speaker 2 (02:05:52):
They all got canoe back. They suffered from something that
called canoe back. They weren't they're not a good that,
they're not a sturdy bird to farm. Apparently.

Speaker 8 (02:06:01):
Oh well, that reminds me too. A few days in
recent days, I was watching a TV program about Ossie
outback truckers. You know, they have these trucks with about
six different carriages behind them, a road train or whatever
they call them, and it went past a big, huge
paddock full of EMUs full size. So I don't know

(02:06:24):
what they were doing as they were growing them there
for meat or what, because I've eaten in Helmet and
I've eaten you know, emu burgers and Ostrich burgers, and
I bought a piece of crocodile on myself and cooked
that once.

Speaker 2 (02:06:38):
Did you see crocodile for sal in New Zealand?

Speaker 8 (02:06:40):
Crocodile meat? Yeah, yeah, there's a few years ago now though.

Speaker 2 (02:06:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:06:48):
It tastes like chicken. It was a white, creamy color
to look at. You know those two kis.

Speaker 2 (02:06:55):
Did you cook in the fry pen?

Speaker 8 (02:06:57):
Yeah? This is the fry pen slowly those big two
two kilogram bags of frozen chicken pieces in them. Is
sort of a square as fairly large piece of chicken,
isn't he. Well that's what the chicken. The the crocodile
looked like. Here the piece that I had what I bought. Yeah,

(02:07:18):
it was quite tasty.

Speaker 2 (02:07:19):
You wouldn't think it'd be an efficient meat to farm
because crocodiles, because I don't know if it's security.

Speaker 8 (02:07:25):
Well they do that in Australia, aren't they. They're farming
them all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
I'm not fond of crocodiles.

Speaker 3 (02:07:32):
No.

Speaker 22 (02:07:32):
Well, on a on a.

Speaker 8 (02:07:37):
Wild Animal program and TV a couple of nights a
couple of days ago, they shared a crocodile and they
had a small deer, you know, clamped on on the
edge of sort of like a swampy thing, and it
was two two lionesses trying.

Speaker 2 (02:07:53):
To drag the I think I've seen that footage.

Speaker 8 (02:07:55):
Yeah, yeah, and they got it away from the crocodile.
My goodness, have a keen.

Speaker 2 (02:08:01):
Some of that crocodile because the crocodiles got unto the
death roll they take it out. Yeah, okay, yeah, I know.

Speaker 23 (02:08:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:08:07):
I was surprised at crocodile meet was available here.

Speaker 8 (02:08:11):
Well, I was along, you know, a few years ago,
and it was that I think the name of the supermarket.
It was down the northern end of Victoria Street where
Ulsa Street branches off and as there's a Kentucky Fried
Chicken place there and Brisco's next door. It was in
that area there, and I think the name was some

(02:08:31):
name sort of like it had choice in the word
fresh choice or something other like that. Yeah, anyway, how
are you keeping in, Marcus?

Speaker 12 (02:08:40):
Dinner?

Speaker 8 (02:08:41):

Speaker 21 (02:08:41):

it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (02:08:50):
Good evening, Yeah, hi Fiona here.

Speaker 30 (02:08:55):
Hell yeah, listen. I just want to moved back to
christ Jurich recently, and I found today in the Palms
they had a service center test that actually did all
registrations in there part of the library. I thought that
was really cool.

Speaker 2 (02:09:07):
It's a great thing to have.

Speaker 30 (02:09:10):
So maybe counsels are going to cover the problems.

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
It's kind of weird to know where everything's going these days,
because your post offices aren't doing what they used to,
and now the chemists are doing stuff. So I guess
ultimately everything's going to go online.

Speaker 3 (02:09:22):
Isn't it.

Speaker 24 (02:09:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (02:09:24):
Ultimately, yeah, some of us will get dragged into the
twenty fifth century.

Speaker 2 (02:09:27):
Well, it doesn't feel right. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (02:09:31):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:09:32):
Not particularly that happy with the online trends.

Speaker 11 (02:09:34):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:09:34):
I'm sick of all those verification codes and things. It's
not seamless for me. I don't love it.

Speaker 30 (02:09:41):
Yeah, I know. Must be a generation.

Speaker 2 (02:09:44):
Yeah, am I your generation? Fioda, what year were you born?
