Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Good evening all. Some of you will be at the cricket,
some of them at Metallica. Some of you will be
watching the cricket. But I am here for the rest
of you. I'll bring you updates of the cricket, not
of Metallica, although a view one's got any updates of
what's happening there. I hope I see suicidal tendencies was
playing as I logged on to social media. Not so
long ago. You might have reported from the bin from
Cambridge Street Swamp. I think it used to be called.

(00:34):
Now it's Eden Park. I wish those people are good day.
It looks like the weather's good. Therefore that so good
on them. By the way, it looks like it is
a fine day at Ahuredy McLain Park, and I reckon,
we'll go all the way there. I reckon, that doesn't
look like it's going to rain. That's a good result.
They're to win. Yes, I do weather reporting sometimes anyway,

(00:56):
get in touch. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
I didn't measure, No, sorry, I didn't measure. I did
do some research before I came on here tonight. These
new fairies that the Chinese are making for us. They
are two hundred meters long. How long is that you thought? Well,
as it turns out, they are twenty meters longer than
two of the current interarm ferries, and twenty two meters

(01:20):
longer than one of them there. Well, the current ones,
we've got one, seven, eight, one eighty one eighty, so
they are bigger boats. So we need a bigger boat.
They've got a bigger boat, so that's happening also too,
So we've got some closure there. How far away I'm
not quite sure, but the last for thirty five years.
I almost think you want to get the new ones
ordered before too long, because I'll tell you what I

(01:40):
don't know. Thirty five years is going to go pretty
quickly in it, we'll probably be tunneling by then. Two
quick questions from me things I need to find. Question one,
I need to get a replacement petrol cap for lawnmower.
Are they all a standard size? Feels like it's four
inches across? Is that standard? Actually? Might be said to me?

(02:00):
Now I think about it. Let me know about that. Also, toy,
we need to get a replacement. Here's a question for that.
Some of you might know this would be a hard
one to answer. Canterbry rugby jerseys with the rubber button?
Where do you get those replacement buttons? No prize, but
be curious to know. I've looked online. Nothing. Well know,
we're not on the Canterbury store, which is poor. I

(02:23):
don't even know if they're manufacture and using it anymore.
But there we go. New Zealand zero for zero must
be the first over. I think we had three dot
balls Conways facing ravenders at the other end. It's not
a sub Remember when one day matches used to be
sold out? Yeah, not anymore. But get in touch on

(02:45):
talk about these things. There are other topics tonight. I
just like to start it gently, So get in touch.
You want to be part of the show tonight, as
I say, oh eight hundred eighty nine text yep. Feel
free By the way to Christopher Luxon, he's in a
bit of trouble during the TV three debate with Christopher
Patrick Gower. But the two chrisis Hipkins and lux and

(03:07):
rass whether they were going to target feral cats, whether
they would be added to the list of species target
and the Predator Free twenty to fifty agreement. Both said yes,
Patrick Gowersy, so you will put both put them into
Predator Free twenty fifty. Absolutely was Luckson's response. Anyway, the

(03:32):
review of the Predator Free twenty fifty strategy has come out,
and there are possums and rats and mustarlids, stoats, ferriits, weasels,
no cats. No one quite knows why it's a puzzle.
I don't know if he's a cat lover or not.
I think he's the sort of guy he had a cat,
you'd know he had a cat. You know, he's not

(03:53):
a guy who's going to keep a hidden cat, is he.
He's not a guy that one day you're going to
finance go about eight cats. I think if Luxon had
a cat, wed No, that'd be my just impression for
me to you get in touch Hitt twelve. You'll get
the whole ball rolling tonight. As I say, oh eight
hundred and eighty today, y N nine detext anything goes to.
If you've got breaking news where you are, let me
know what that breaking news is, Marcus. I can tell

(04:16):
you Central Auckland was full of full of out of
towners day. It was fantastic. Felt like pre covid Auckland
real goovy, real groovy was doing a roaring trade. Don't
you love the groovy? Major police operation near the wind
Wand in New Plymouth? What would that be down by

(04:37):
the water. Do you think because a seal has come
up and taken someone before, hasn't it or not killed them?
Is that with a rail crossing? As you got any
more information about that, do let me know. Thanks for
people texting through about that. It's good to hear from
you so early on. But yes, all here right through
thirteen past eight. Couple of quick callers to start the
whole ball rolling, that would be great. Then we'll get

(04:57):
into the nuts and bolts of it. I think the
black Caps have finally got a run. Might run two
on this, and they do so truly targets two four eight.
We're on two second over rover tremendous. Dan Bluff got
the roof done fixed, I hope think about roofs. You

(05:19):
never quite know, do you. Anyway, I think there's a
lot of psychological freedom for having a roof that feels
secure and non leaky. Anyway, that's my take on at
thirteen past eight eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine nine to text, feral cats is on the list
of things we can talk about tonight. Yeah. Measles outbreak

(05:41):
seems to be going well. Nineteen cases eighteen no longer infectious.
There will be heavy rains for part of New Zealand
tonight and tomorrow morning. I promise you that. Yep, that's
a situation. Now anything elish you want to come through
with freel free to go.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
By the way, Curis Saoh has become the smallest nation
by population to qualify for the World Cup. That's exciting.
They drew with Jamaica. Brilliant. Yeah, so there we go.
I don't know what the population of curs I made.
Three hundred and fifty thousand, No, hang on, one hundred

(06:22):
and fifty six thousand. It's like Hamilton. It's like Hamilton qualifying.
The smallest previous company country was Iceland with three fifty thousand.
So there we go. That's exciting. Curiso is going to
go there. Wow, good evening, Judith, this is Marcus. Welcome, greetings,
and good evening to the show.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh, good evening, Marcus. I had a furial cat for
four years and I had to get it put down
recently because it developed a big lump in his neck.
I tried three times to get him into the cage
and I couldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Oh, I have cage, fober gay. Where'd you get it?
Tell me the story? Firstly, tell me what its name was,
Judith patch Ah. Wow, you pushed the boat out there
with a damien and it had a pitch overtided.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
It.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Hadn Did they have a patch?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yes, a little white bit on its neck. And I
tried to pet our stroke at once and he bit
me on my hand, right into a vein.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
So when you say your head the cat did he
live at you would just come around occasionally?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
No? No, he was given to me by a friend. Okay,
he was found up a tree at the Mitoe Belly Wow.
And I loved him. I really loved him, and he
loved treats and he loved really expensive cat food. But
he came home one day with a lump on his

(07:55):
neck and I thought, deep, as that looks like cancer
to me, and I think you are going to the vet.
And I had the super duper cage for him. Anyway,
I had to get the SPCA round in the end
to catch him to get them in the cage, take
him up to the vet. They took him up to

(08:16):
the vet for me, and I went and they said, oh,
I'm sorry, did it, but we can't do this because
it's feral. And I think, well, put him down. Then
I love him, but put him down.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
So why couldn't they Why couldn't I treat him? Because
he was feral?

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Because he scratches and bites.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh, I see what you're saying. So he wouldn't go
on the operating table. He was he was too feral.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
They couldn't catch him in the vet room. But he
was half an hour to catch them in my lounge
before they took him up there.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
But they got him in the cage. But then when
he got to the vets to get out of.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
The cage, well no, they just yes. And then they
said they couldn't catch him. Wow, And I said, please
put him down there, down there today one hundred and
eighty dollars and get them put down.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
And did they charge you? Did they charge you one
hundred and eighty?

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Do you know what?

Speaker 6 (09:15):
They?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Very kind, Espicia, and that bit should get no charge.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Good story, Judor, thanks so much for that. Seventeen past
eight were away. That's a starter patch. The cat that
couldn't be caught or only caught once. I think they
could have stated him with a long kind of a
stick with a needle on the end, wouldn't you in
the cage? And what to make of that? Good? Nor bad?

Speaker 7 (09:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty curisos pronounced currosel. There
we go. Why do you never read my texts? Get
in touch? Hit'll twelve you want to come through? Eight
hundred eighty toy seventeen past eight, Scotty Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
Get a Marcus. I've got a feral cat sitting on
my lap right now. About twelve years ago, when I
was selling Carlson Hamilton, we had a some car yard
cats and they're just they're just feral cats that wander
around the car yard and pick up on scraps. I
suppose one of them had a lizard, and I adopted

(10:22):
one of those for my wife who had lost her
cat prior to prior to this, and it was and
the cat anyway, it was called me Too. We decided
we'd name it me Too because it followed you everywhere
you went. Now I have two dogs. I'm a dog person.

(10:43):
I had a hunterway cross greyhound and she absolutely nurtured
me too so much. Me too has has grown to
become monkey cat. But I've just I've got out of
the spa just recently. She go out and I have
a spa most mornings and most evenings. She will come

(11:06):
and sit beside me in the spar not in the water, obviously,
but and she's just she's so loving and she just
she would come out when I pull up outside home
and she'll be right there waiting and she'll mew and
just been brilliant and feral cat and just yeah, she's

(11:28):
absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
A couple of questions, Scotty from me to you are
Coryard kit is a common thing.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
Yeah, I've only worked at a couple of carryards, and
we we we had a lot at all her own.
It was there was you know, some not deeralists building,
but unusual buildings at the back of it, and you
saw cats come and go and what have you, and
and that was it and then this this is how

(11:59):
we found this, this little of kittens. The other carry
out I worked at, it was the same thing. There
was there was a few sort of surreal cats around
but that was Yeah, I've.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Never seen car I've never sold cars for a living.
Is there a lot of kind of you're sitting around
goofing off?

Speaker 8 (12:19):
Yep? Absolutely is. And it's it's people think you've got
the best job in the world. But I'll tell you what, mircus,
if you don't sell cars, you don't.

Speaker 9 (12:30):
Have a job.

Speaker 8 (12:31):
And you have to sell and it's gone as that sounds,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
You've got your numbers for the months. You've got your target,
haven't you exactly?

Speaker 10 (12:39):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Yeah, And you want to smash that. You want to
you want to work hard, you want to do it.
And and Bruce Scobe, you who are Hopes listening?

Speaker 6 (12:46):
He is a sco.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Scopes will be listening.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
Scopes will be listening.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
Yeah, I sold cars with Scobes and what a great guy.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
Here is a car.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Dealers there either penet because they're not up to their target,
or they're ecstatic because they've made it. There's never anything
in between. You're either ecstatic or you're stressed.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
I think you've just got to go.

Speaker 11 (13:09):
Today is today, Tomorrow's tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (13:11):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I'll stay on the day.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
Yeah, that's it. Just you know, don't don't focus on
what you haven't got, focused on what you're going to get.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
How old are me too?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Now?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Me too is twelve good age, will be getting on
good age?

Speaker 8 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, And she's just she's so docile with me
now she's she's a bit fear of my wife still.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
But I reckon, you should get a little floating seat
for it so it could be in the spar pol
with you.

Speaker 8 (13:43):
She would probably do that, Yeah, I think she would.
She fell, She fell on one day and and I
was probably listening to talk about probably listening to Mike
in the morning, and and the phone fell and I
was more worried about the phone than the cat. The
cat would also fallen, and I massed to throw her out,

(14:05):
and she just goes there, threw myself off, came back
and that's it. And she was Yeah, she was rescued
from a litter of kittens we had at the at
the carryout auto zone.

Speaker 9 (14:17):
Who worked brilliant.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
We'll talk more cats stories. Who's adopted a feral cat?
Let's talk feral cats without judgment? Twenty two past eight
oh eight hundred you know the rest Hittle twelve four
overs gone eight without lost, YW Zealand. There's only thirty
four overs. It's surigning all day, so it's over restricted
thirty four and now we're twelve without lost. That's the
situation Conway five, Rivendra seven texts. Feral cots are not

(14:43):
people friendly. They are totally wild. Ninety percent have never
seen a person. They are born in the wild. They
stand in the world the cats For people talking about
us strays, there's a big difference. What's about strays, Marcaus.
I take my dog for a walk every night. We
go past the local meatworks and belfacets overrun with feral cats.
I have a good laugh because the security guards throw

(15:04):
food to them straight out of the car. Would you
know there's always a mess on the road for the
leftover food that's not good. Do you wonder why we
are training with the Germans? What the heck is that about? Marcus?
What are you on your listener's thoughts about RUC's road
user chargers have a diesel vehicle. I think it'll be
easier to have it incorporated and with ridgi O fees.

(15:25):
I think the whole thing about road user charge is
its pay as you go. It's user pay, so it's
fairer it wouldn't be fair if they incorporate into your
fees or your wedge are whatever. That's the whole point.
If you go further, they charge you more. Brilliant, no
word for Batallica. They'll be playing now can you hear it?
How far can you hear it? Which way is the

(15:45):
wooden going? How far can you hear it? And what
song will they start with? Get in Touch Hittell twelve
on to feral Cats, brilliant, get in touch, on It,
on It John eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
nine to detext It's all about everything, as is every night,

(16:06):
put up against it with a cricket a metallica. Here's
a question, what's Priscilla Presley doing in the country? Like
does she sing? Who's been to see? What she's got
to do? I see that she caught up with old
Cliff Richard, But yeah, she's touring. I don't quite know
what that's about. I know there's Elvis people out there

(16:27):
that might have gone and seen her. I'll be curious
to know what she does. Married to Elvis for four years,
sixty years ago. Yep, she's eighty?

Speaker 10 (16:39):
Is she?

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yes? Eighty? So I don't know why. I'll be curious
though what she does in her performances. Good honor, but
what would that be about. I think it's just a
talking to her. Maybe she plays some old videos. I've
got no idea really, but that's what we're about tonight.
But yeah, it comes to if you're a talk Marcus
till twelve. If you've got breaking news, let us know
what it was. Yes, there was that bad bus crash
in Voca. Will Van Kresh I suspected it might be

(17:02):
someone involved in the local volleyball tournament because that's where
it was, just out of the stadium, and that was
in fact the case. Marcus. I love your one line
as the cat fell into the sparkle trying to end
it all. Anyway, I work at accounts on the sewage
treatment guys. I've adopted some feral cats out of the
treatment station. The cats have probably be dubbed at the
end of the road and left to fend for themselves.
The guys out there are out there every day and

(17:23):
feed them and look after them. They're now of retame,
never tame. They're never tame. Thel Conye, feral cat's not
my thing. They're kind of stealth like I think it
must be a grim life being a feral cat endlessly
searching for food. It can't be good. Oh they said

(17:45):
that Priscilla might have released a new book.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I tried to watch that movie about Priscilla and Elvis.
I wasn't into it is a bit sort of well.
I couldn't go work out. I just want't grab by.
It didn't grab me. So the window's got two four
seven for nine when you turn in thirty five more
runs from twenty nine overs. We're having to hammer. It's
nine per over. We haven't really got ourselves on song,

(18:10):
but it is still the openers. That's a bit fatter.
That's a four hit the boundary with speed.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
That one.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
By the way, people, if you had any if you've
had any run ins today, I don't mean in a
bad way. I've had any interface with the Metallica fans,
Tell me how they have been. I saw there was
long queues for the pop up shop. There is a
merchandise shop that was in town. That's going gangbus is
crouk cues around the block. Fancy queuing up to buy
a tatty old T shirt and a poster. I suppose

(18:37):
people are buying guitar picks too, but that I don't know.
As I said last night, I'm not really into bed merchandise.
She's not into it at all. But all the lines
are free, bright, tight and real. And I told you
that would be it on the r n Z news.
Is VIGGI mighty human?

Speaker 12 (18:54):
Right?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
I told you that'd be a big story today. So
that story yesterday about the Australian that's taken Australian prisoner
gone to the Supreme Court because he thinks VEGGI might
as part of his human rights haha. Twenty two, twenty
eight away from nine o'clock. If you got to come
through looking forward to your calls tonight, as I say,

(19:15):
eight hundred and eighty to eighty nine nine to text,
it's playing Monopoly day. I could say as a parent
that the two worst games to play Monopoly and Snakes
and letters. They are joyless games. I mean Snakes and
now has just been the whole time waiting to go
down a stake, which is never good. It's like Groundhog Day.

(19:36):
Monopoly has been the whole time terrified. You have to
actually land on someone's properly, and the rent's going to
be more that you can afford. It's not good at
all anyway. I also wanted to talk to youone that's
been to Curisal. They call it curis. I always I
don't know what the right right pronunciation is and how
that was for you. By the way, there was a

(19:58):
burglar tried to steal a yte manual, couldn't take it.
That's just through out of Hamilton. That's going to be
the saddest story of our times, hasn't it. She was
a woman. How would a woman try to steal a
you uit of a garage gave up with the realize
of the vehicle a manual gearbox. I hope the judge
is going to teach you how to drive a manual.
That could be life changing for her. Twenty seven away

(20:19):
from nine being touch hit on midnight tonight. Looking forward
to your inputs tonight, becking of it. If you want
to watch the cricket, it's free to wear on. Duke.
Just come back at the end, I promise you that.
Kate Marcus welcome, Hi, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 13 (20:33):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Thank you? Kate, how are you?

Speaker 13 (20:36):
I'm good, thank you. I've just got to tell you
about Monopoly. I think it's been testing really yeah. In
the seventies and eighties, in the August and April school
holidays when it was raining down south and Mum was
busy doing stuff. The four of us young kids, we'd
play Monopoly and would go on for days. But there

(21:01):
was always the cheetah banker, and the was always the
ones that had some. It would go on for two days,
always the one that had the money under the air,
under their pillow, and in the end Mum would just

(21:22):
get sick of it fighting and she would just under
it and just go boss, that's it. We're enough of us.
But it was fantastic, man. It was war, the last war.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
It was the last time you played.

Speaker 13 (21:35):
At Kate, I would say, nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Kate. Think you twenty
four to nine Marcus. Someone into Murchie that those Teddy
t shirts are cost up to one seven five. That's
from Metallica shirt, Is it really? Marcus? I didn't think
of you day when I saw watching the news as
they are selling a Metallica board game in their merch shop.
I think it's Metallica Monopoly. Oh no, it's Metallica Cludo.

(22:03):
That's right, not a bad game. Marcus, I was a correction. Obviously.
Years ago they took marmite out of New Zealand prisons
because the prisoners used it to make homemade liquor. Yeah,
I think there was two things they couldn't have it
in prisons in Australia. One was handmade liquor, one was
home brew and the other was also they would use

(22:24):
it to disguise a smell of drugs that they were
smuggling into the prison. So you're no surprises there, huge
fireballs coming out of Eden Park, amazing pyrotechnics. We get
bang for your buck with Metallica, I would imagine, But yeah,
we'll be finding out about that as people head home.
But if you are at that concert or just left

(22:44):
or on the way there, or have had interface with
Metallica people in all clubs, they would be curious. Also
curious about Priscilla Presley's performance, what that is like, and
talking about your adoption or story of a stray or
feral cat. We've never heard the positive stories of feral cats,
just the bad ones. I haven't gone all cat positive,

(23:06):
but I'm curious, Marcus. I'm in an apartment on Great
Northroad watching the lights of music coming out of even park.
The crowd seems louder than the band.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Rock On.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Marcus, I do walking to us every day. Unfortunate. I'm
not a celebrity and don't get paid regards. Donald Uamadou.
When you're in peak hour, you get lots of vidiots
driving along the bus lande. I wish there was a
cop there. They should park there. I'll peak our catch
them all. I think there's cameras and I don't really
know why Priscilla's here. Someone says she's reached a new book.

(23:39):
There's a boundary that's good. Twenty nine for zero, get
a move on, Conway on sixteen, Ravendra thirteen, Up the order,
Up the order, Beck catch if you want to be
a part of the show, here til twelve. Anything else
you want to mention tonight I'm all in people, yep,
So get in touch Oha eight hundred and eighty, ten

(24:00):
eighty anything else you want to mention, I'm all here
for that tonight. People on, there's gorgeous day. Good on
the teenage girl who pulled a unconscious man at Takapuna
Beach unresponsive in the water, although I don't think he survived. Actually,
that's some unfortunate part into that one. There was a

(24:21):
defribriator that should have been there that wasn't there. We go,
person died twenty away from nine back in touch, hit'd
twelve oh eight, one hundred. You know the rest. Good
to hear from you. Cricket score for thirty without loss
for two four eight they need five and that's over
from three balls. That's a spirit off you go, guys,
long mate. Last if there's other topics you want to

(24:42):
go on about tonight, and I'm up for it. Always
no takers on road users charges. I think road user
charge a bit like compulsory third party insurance. It's a
bit of a Debbie downer of a to oh yeah,
I mean yeah, not my favorite topic. Back catcha eight
to nine steven sorry eighteen tonight and Steve, it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Good evening, ay, Marcus, how are you bright? Good?

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Steve? What tepnan?

Speaker 14 (25:07):
Well, we're told about feral cats.

Speaker 12 (25:11):
Yep.

Speaker 14 (25:12):
So when I was very young, wish I'm not now,
my sister was working at a place and there was
this cat jumped into.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
That fro his draining.

Speaker 14 (25:23):
So she drags it out. Now she takes it home
and Dad says, what the heck is sure a poor thing.
It's not little skin anything anyway, So there said, all right,
you can get it. So we had a swooning pool
and the stupid cat jumps from the spring pool drink.

(25:46):
So now we get out. About six months later we
had possums around our place, and this feral name was Lucky.
Because it survives, some called it Lucky. Next minute is
finding a possum in the front doorstep. So Dad goes out,

(26:12):
draised the canon ripped the bits paces up and he's
Lucky scratching the door, wants to go out, and there goes,
well you go out, you're gonna get caught. And the
cat wow, well, well.

Speaker 9 (26:26):
At the door.

Speaker 14 (26:28):
So the cat goes out. Next morning, the cats ripped
the shredge, but the possum's dead.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Wow, what a cat.

Speaker 14 (26:39):
Lucky. The name was Lucky, I saw to tell you
that story.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
That's that's a pretty strong cat to go out and
do that.

Speaker 14 (26:50):
Oh, but it was an animal. It wouldn't put up
with anything from anywhere. They just did this thing and
it lived to about seventeen years old.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Steve, what sort of that did you fall into?

Speaker 15 (27:08):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
What sort of vet did did the cat fall into.

Speaker 14 (27:12):
Oh the cheese vet.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh so it wasn't a fan of hot oil or anything.

Speaker 14 (27:18):
No, no, no, but still, you know the little cat
you can't swim like they can, but they're going to sink.
So this elder sister poured it out, little screeny thing.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Was the cheese like liquid?

Speaker 14 (27:35):
Yes, wow, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
You wouldn't want to a stray cat wan a feral
cat one around a cheese factory, would you.

Speaker 14 (27:45):
No, well, no, you shouldn't have. No.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
It's a good story, Steve.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
I like the fact that the the cat went out again. Brilliant. Wow,
the stories. Oh, Marcus, want to know how many birds
the police are going to kill with one star having
every vehicle with road user devices on it or e
RO device number one? Where were you last night, Sonny
at home? Officer promise sir number two? Were you doing

(28:13):
donuts in the cemetery?

Speaker 16 (28:14):
Know why?

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I see what you're saying. By the way that the
pood out of the drifting Champions and in Vicago, Tara Tonga,
I'll tell you what. The day after there is donuts
on all our roads. They really went to town after that.
They've made a hell of a mess. Marks you can't
play snakes, and that is with the exact number to
exit for Azamble. If you thrust six or your four
spaces away, then you win. That's it. No, I always

(28:40):
thought you had to get right on land, right on Marcus.
Elvis Presley's full or tops of report includes the second
one ordered by his family, will be unsealed in twenty
twenty seven. Should clear up the rumors. I don't thin
there's any rumors now, are there? About Elvis turning away
from nine? This is interesting from Zachary Marcus. My neighbor

(29:01):
has brought an odometer correction tallof Temo for one twenty
nine dollars. He plugged it into a suite within forty
five second. He took the kimsback ten thousand. I was
shocked how easy it was to get around road users.
I'm worried these will be a hot buy when road
user comes out for all cars. And I've been back
on Temu, not Beck, Sorry, I've been on Timu. I've
never run it a promise, And man, there's a lot

(29:22):
of them, and they're cheap, and they're kind of sophisticated.
Don't know, you good wine Beck, you get telling one
to wineback, your keys, your clicks. Yep, it's the thing.
How could that be legal? Bob, Marcus, welcome in Macael.

Speaker 9 (29:39):
I didn't really know what we were talking about, but
sort of brains and what you're talking about today. I
got on my car, clicked on my seat dot and
was preceding you after town. I had this brilliant idea.
You know how people don't wear seat belts and there's
a lot of accidents and they get pulled over and
get fined. Why can it lot? Why can your car
start when you haven't got your seat bet On? If
you thank me, bring in an idea of when you

(30:01):
click your seat belt on your cargoes, it was not
clicked and the car won't.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Go any countries?

Speaker 6 (30:05):
Got it?

Speaker 9 (30:07):
I don't know, Marcus, just an idea I had.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Did you read as an international president?

Speaker 9 (30:13):
I thought maybe that the gatman and they wouldn't want
to do it because of course I'm making money out.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Of it, and also there'd be people would be freaked out.
You'd get people kicking out. Bob's wo die because you're infringing.
But there must be a thing like a seat.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Yeah, it is because of all the all the high fighting,
everything these days, surely they could come up with some
ideas that you don't have your seat belt, your cat
out stats.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
It's probably the role of the dice. If you're wearing
one at any moment? Is it, Bob? What do you are?

Speaker 6 (30:42):
You?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Do you wear one? Quite? Are you quite serious about it?

Speaker 17 (30:45):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (30:46):
Yes, I do put mine on because I've had a
friend of mine was killed. You're not wearing a seat belt,
and I become quite conscious of it, and I thought
when I was taking it on, I thought, why does
my can not stand with my sheat belts undone? There's
an easy fix.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Be easy to do, wouldn't it because that beepings? That
beeping's annoying?

Speaker 7 (31:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Well, I mean with all yeah, you know, if they
can make a beat by that, they can make it
cut off exactly.

Speaker 16 (31:11):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Will there be any emergencies that they couldn't cope with that?

Speaker 4 (31:15):
For?

Speaker 9 (31:17):
Oh, I don't know. If you haven't got your car
sleetbelt done, you don't go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
I'll just try to think there's any situation you have
to drive without a seatbelt. The only thing I think
if you're giving birth or something. But I kin'd of that.
There's a silly, silly example. I can't think of one.

Speaker 9 (31:31):
I haven't given birth, so I can't come on no yet.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Thanks Bob eight to nine, nine to eight to nine,
forty four without loss, Conway twenty three, Ravendra twenty one.
There's a six. It's a good shot that one. So
these guys could do it. Maybe they're on Well, I'll
probably put the markers on them.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
Hi June.

Speaker 18 (31:56):
I used to help a chip on a farm and
he had a seventh season forward vehicle and he he
didn't like the seat belt, so he didn't do it up.
But on the dashboard of the ford it would be

(32:17):
in a flash a light and I'd say, you haven't
got your seat belt on, and he says, I've done
it up, but I'm sitting on it. But that car
knew that he didn't have his seatbelt on. So there
is some crafty things out there on the dashboard. I
didn't know because it was all one of those computerized things.

(32:40):
But I always knew when he didn't have his seat belt.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Don't that I know.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Would they manufacture cars, they manufacture them to fit in
all countries. I can't imagine any countries would not have seatbeltus.
I can't quite work out where they don't do it.

Speaker 18 (32:56):
Yeah, I just thought that was quite a crafty move
because I'd never driven such a post car, but you know,
and it was a big forward seven seat. Yeah, but
that was you know, that would be about ten or
twelve years ago, so who could be all different now.
But anyway, the other thing is I've got two feral kittens.

(33:17):
I caught them in a possum cage seven years old,
and they possum and mow tabbies, four white paws, white
bib and everything. They're identical. And they when they were
about nine months old, they went over to the neighbors
and took all the clothes off the clothes horse and

(33:38):
brought them all away home to my place down the driveway.
There was flannels and the socks and underpants and you
name it. There's two little guys that have been very busy.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
How did you happen to have them? Because they wouldn't
be caught in the possum trap, would they?

Speaker 12 (33:53):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (33:54):
Well, I best farm I was working on. I'd seen
them in the least one of the stables. I asked
the guys, I could set it trap, and I caught.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
Them, Like, what do you bait it with fish jennerfish.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
And how long after you caught them we were able
to handle them?

Speaker 18 (34:15):
Well, I brought them home and I had them vaccinated
and Mica good trips for the next day. And then
my two German shepherds did the east.

Speaker 6 (34:25):
Oh wow, they.

Speaker 18 (34:27):
Just cuddled up with them and.

Speaker 17 (34:28):
They just have a mate.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Oh that's a nice story.

Speaker 18 (34:33):
I love this show.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah like that. You still got the German shepherds.

Speaker 18 (34:38):
No German shippers are gone now, and I've.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
Got the.

Speaker 18 (34:44):
Re homed hunt away in a heating door.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Brilliant. That's the answer I wanted to Thanks so much
for that. I wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty
heitel twelve names, Marcus, good evening heating dog. You know
what they are? No idea? Something to do with mustering
up the front of the peck or something.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
Is it.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
They're making a movie about the dog show? Wins that out, Marcus.
Where do you find a cobblet in New Zealand or
somewhere to repair dress leather shoes and boots? I asked
at a shoe shop. They only sell, not fix. I
think most medium sized cities would have cobblers. I'm quite
often at the cobbler, like a cobbler, like resoling a shoe, Marcus,

(35:26):
I'd like to mention something but random. We live at
Foxton Beach. We're down on the ocean front quite a lot.
After every major weather event, the one or two rivers
spews gigantic trees maney pines into the sea and end
up on the beach looking hideous. Then after a few
king tides they are gone. So can your imagination? Can
you imagine how many trees are floating around the coast?
How about jet skis and boats? Oh and yes, I'm

(35:50):
and overthinking, but glad it's gone twas a mess. I
don't think anyon would be upset if jet ski got
taken out every once in a while. Wouldn't it keep
them on their toes? The old knuckledraggers. Let me elaborate,
it's more fun for the family if you bend the
rules on snakes and ladders. We know the rules, but
they're doing their house hold any favors. I have worked

(36:13):
where we had four cliffs that wouldn't start unless the
seatbelt is clicked on. Fine for tampering with your dometer
is fifteen grand. So, as per the first text, the
cops will be extending at what they can prove by
matching e road with a dometer. Oh, I hope you're
good with you are? People have used it on him
as Marcus and that's about all you need to know

(36:34):
at the stage seventy three without loss. So they're going
great guns Conway on forty four. Let's hope he goes
all the way. So be in touch if you want
to talk. On the show tonight, we are talking cats
because Chris Flax had promised to get rid of feral
cats but has done nothing about that, which begs to
me the question is can you tame a feral cat?
Have you had any experience with them? What do a

(36:57):
lot of people think strays are feral? And then we
have stories about stray cats also, I'm sure many of
you will have one of those stories about stray cats.
There's another six that the half century. No, that's was
Indravender up to forty two. Ire also talking about Metallica

(37:17):
and the cricket and anything else that's got you going tonight.
Didn't see me too much damage from the rain yesterday,
but boy I bought did it come down?

Speaker 11 (37:27):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
So get in touch. Oh eight hundred and eighty also
talk about Curaso. I don't know it's presout something differently.
I don't know how it's pronounced. Making it to the
World Cup, the lowest population nation ever to make the
football World Cup. I just wonder if you've been there
and what's what it's like. Undefeated too. By the way,

(37:51):
coach is Dick Advocate, who's a seventy eight year old
from Holland, Netherlands. He hasn't managed South Korea, Belgium and
Russia before taking the job with them. Well, it wasn't
the match the final match because he had commitments and
hot in the Netherlands. That's what's happening tonight. People welcome
to an eight past done. If you do on a talk,

(38:12):
keep those texts, bagging those through. The more, the more
the manage, the more the more the What about going
on Tema and buying a dormeter connection, how would they
work and how would they ban them? Because people spend
a lot of their road miles. I'm sure it'll be lucrative.
I'm not suggesting you buy one, but how I imagined

(38:35):
to be tempting for people, particularly if they're going to
if they're selling cars online to get in touch being
ats Marcus good evening.

Speaker 11 (38:47):
You get it, Marcus, Yeah, I own one of those
adometer correction tools. Really don't use it for I don't
use it for one bat case. So I brought it
off at EBA about three years ago. And it's because
my desh cluster stopped working and I had to replace
the desk cluster and I wanted the case, you know,

(39:08):
the case to match the new desk cluster. So that's
what I brought it for. So it just plugs into
your obdport on your truck and you scroll down and
you get your make model of your vehicle, and it
doesn't take it bluetooths see your phone and it only
takes i'd say probably about a minute to do it.

(39:28):
But you've got to take photos of your old desk
cluster and the new one, and you've got to send
them through to their al teens EVE and let them
know what you've done and why you're doing it. To
simply use it to wind back case, that's wholly illegal.
You know. I do know people or people that do it,
but I wouldn't recommend doing it because if you get

(39:49):
caught that there's a big fine.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
So why so you put a new desk cluster on,
did you.

Speaker 11 (39:55):
Yeah, yeah, And I wanted the new desk cluster to
have the same mileage on it as the old one.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Okay, so where did you get the desk cluster? Was
a second hand?

Speaker 11 (40:04):
Yeah, yeah, so I brought it from Arica and I
just want to to match the old one. And you've
got to use one of those tools, and yeah, I
paid about three hundred for one, but yeah, I do
know you can get them cheaper, and I do know
a few builders that use them, and it's just to
get around roads us that in the year that they
shouldn't that they do it.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
And if you hadn't got the tool, were you would
you be liable then to be prosecuted? Was it were
you're worried about?

Speaker 5 (40:31):
No?

Speaker 11 (40:31):
No, no, no no no. So you can take photos
of the old one and the new one, send it
through to the LTMZ and they can update it in
new system, but simply for resale value, and I do
just go to sell then you The keys on the
on the second hand desk cluster were one hundred thousand
higher than the old one, So yeah, I just wanted

(40:52):
it to match.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
What I said at there was a lot more on
the secondhand one you put in there.

Speaker 11 (40:58):
Yeah, yeah, I understand.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yep, okay, got yeah, got sided. You've got one of
those bens maybe night kid, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Hello, Hey, good I Marcus Agan, good care if you
got all right? Yeah? Cool mate. So just wanted to
show you about a bit of a catastrophe cat story. Yes,
So moved on to a rural property. And in the

(41:26):
early days of all the family being around and everybody
moving in, my brother in Laura and I looked up
with a pair of monoculars and saw this cat sitting
on a woodpile about one hundred meters away, and anyway,
it just went children vanished, and we didn't know it
was a wild cat. Well, anyway, it took one year

(41:48):
for the cat to come out of hiding and come
up and befriend us. And when it befriended us, it's
the most amazing cat you've ever had in your life.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
So the cat brings us rabbits, mostly with the head
gone because she knows we don't like the heads and
all sorts of stuff. And she's just incredible. And she
sits on the couch with us and she purs and
purs and everything, and you know what, we've given her

(42:24):
the rolls Royce life.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Do you enjoy rabbits without heads?

Speaker 7 (42:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
More without heads than with heads, because well they're easier
to barbecue. Okay, that's a joke.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
No, but I'm still curious to know why you want
them without heads.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
No, the cat eats the heads and then she brings
the bodies.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
To us, and then what do you do with the bodies?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Actually, to be honest, I just dispose of them in private.
But I let her know that we've appreciated them.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
I understand. I understand. It's a nice thing to do
for the cat.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Yeah, so it's what I'm what I'm saying is it's
the most amazing thing to take a animal out of
the wild and turn a domestic And she is just
such a most beautiful family thing. We've got grandchildren and
nieces and nephews and everything, and she's just incredible, most

(43:23):
incredible cat.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Did you do it all with food?

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I did it with love actually, to be honest, it's.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
The way and always the way.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Yeah, so you know what, and absolutely amazing.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Do you name it.

Speaker 15 (43:40):

Thank you sir, how you going all right?

Speaker 9 (45:03):
You're good as gold.

Speaker 12 (45:04):
I just wanted to tell you a warm, cozy story
that happened to me today. Yes, And I was at
the supermarket today in rang the Aura and pack and save,
and you know how you have your standing in line
waiting to be served, and there's an aisle right next

(45:27):
to you too, And I was chatting to a young
man there. I'm an old lady chatting to a young
man there. And he got served and he sort of
come and stood beside me, and I sort of felt
a bit uncomfortable with them being there. And when they finished,

(45:49):
when the teller finished with me, I just had my
card in my hand to put it in the thing,
and he just reached across and paid for my groceries.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (46:03):
And I was absolutely gobsma. I stood there, I said
what did you do that for? And I said, thank
him very much? And he just turned around, smiled at me.

Speaker 14 (46:18):
And walked off.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (46:19):
And I should have chased him to think him more,
but I was. I was just gobsmacked.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Why do you think he did it?

Speaker 12 (46:30):
Ever happened to me like that before? And I hope
he's listening, because he really.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Made my day.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
So what was in it your bag?

Speaker 12 (46:43):
Ninety five dollars worth of groceries?

Speaker 19 (46:46):
Okay, yeah, and.

Speaker 12 (46:52):
He just he had that swite thing and he just
leaned over in front of me, never said a word,
and just smiled at me with a cheeky little smile
and marched off. And I should have run after him,
but I was in shock.

Speaker 9 (47:08):
I just.

Speaker 12 (47:10):
I think I had.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Been Do you do you think do you think that
he thought that you were struggling to pay for it?
Or just why do you think he was doing it?

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (47:20):
The woman said he might have one lotto indeed, because
we were chatting away about people being rude to these
lovely girls that serve us, and I said, you know,
if I hear something, I speak up, and he said

(47:40):
he does too. He said the girls are lovely in here,
and I said I know. And we were sort of
chatting away like that, you know, and he just I'm
still gobsmeat.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Was he buying stuff himself?

Speaker 12 (47:59):
Yeah? Yeah, he got he got served. And I hope
he's listening because I should have after him and thank
them very very much.

Speaker 9 (48:09):
Yeah, I just was blowing away.

Speaker 14 (48:15):
Yeah, I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I don't know what I don't know why people do that.

Speaker 12 (48:19):
No, no, the girl said, She says, oh, it's Christmas
for you.

Speaker 9 (48:24):
He must have won motto yea.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
But someone in christ Jewish did one lotto, didn't they?

Speaker 12 (48:36):
Yeah, that was in more Hassa and they can save.
This is out at Ranguura.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
You could have been traveling in though, for it couldn't he.

Speaker 14 (48:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (48:47):
I don't know, but I mean I've saved on grocer
that's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Did you go back and did you go back and
spend the money that you'd saved on something else?

Speaker 2 (49:02):
No?

Speaker 12 (49:04):
No, because I've got all I wanted.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Good story, So it made you very happy. I'm happy.
I'm happy to hear you're happy, Deah.

Speaker 12 (49:11):
And I told my sister and she's happy, and she's
told other people and they're happy too. So he's made
a lot of people happy because it's not very often
that you hear good news. A lot of times it's
bad news.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
That's right. I think that's brilliant. I'm loving that, so
thank you so much for that. That's great. Wow, what
do you feel about that? I don't know. If someone offered
to pay me my groceries, I think I thought I'd
hate for people to think that's coming across as down
at hell. That would be my only eca. How would
you feel about that? But she's not funny, she's stoked

(49:43):
sometimes have been. Oh no, I don't go that story's
too long and long winded and boring. But yeah, anyway,

six someone the Metallica is supposed to doing a version
of Split Ends. I got you. I thought they'd be
better the songs for a metal band to do to cover.
But good on them. They've done what they've done. I

(50:15):
don't have a problem with that. I've got you. That's
all I want. Twenty four past nine. If you want
to be on air, we're talking about cats, cat stories.
Liking it. Oh, be a part of it if you
want to talk. Oh wow. So Liz is listening in

It's called being human Marcus. If they won lotto, they
wouldn't be shopping at Peck and Save. Is that a

(51:01):
good point, Marcus. It's my mate Dave's fiftieth birthday this weekend.
We've got a cat for his birthday. He hates cats,
but it will win him over. They always win Marcaus.
We had a few feral cats we have given a home.
Do some have names like fur Burger, cheeky bum no idea?
Still terrible names, Marcus. How stray cat was called spin

(51:23):
Sin is sin He had heart disease. On Medicational Life
fifteen seventeen, irreplaceable. Good evening, Vic, This is Marcus.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Welcome, Oh cure of Marcus. I have a stray cat story.
And I'm going away for a week. And my own
cat has a little the door lest open a bit
to get in. But previously I realized, since I've been
leaving it open at night or when I've been away,

(51:56):
there's another cat coming in stray cat eating the food.
So I'm going away this time, and I thought, Okay,
I'm going to put the phone up on the bench.
Maybe that will deter the straight cat. But I'm going
to put the radio on right by the door. And
so I was tuning in the radio to put like

(52:17):
a talk show on, so that while on the way,
the cat might think that someone's talking inside and just
as I tune in your program what they'd be on
to deterur the straight cat? You said, we're talking about
straight cats to that, and I was like, oh, how
I run it?

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Do you think that some of the talkback callers could
do to your own cat.

Speaker 20 (52:45):
Hatuh?

Speaker 3 (52:48):
You know how you're going away right? Yeah, and you've
got a cat in your house. Yeah, and your cat's
not going with you, is it?

Speaker 4 (52:58):
No? But it's us to having music and it's someone
in out all day with the radio right by.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
The it can handle talk bag.

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Yeah. I had George FM on in some light you know,
house music earlier, so it's quite okay coming in and out.
But I just thought how crazy that when I went
to set up.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
The radio talking about cats and.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
You were talking about stray cats. I said, I was
just going to run up and tell that story because
I'm using your radio station as a stray cat tourant
this week.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
What's your kit called?

Speaker 12 (53:31):
VIC?

Speaker 10 (53:32):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Of course it is Ben Marcus. Welcome. Yes, So, hi been.

Speaker 10 (53:41):
I just wanted to talk about my my previous kit,
which is now my parents' kit, which is now eighteen
years old. And she's she fell through at the top
of the chimney, fell nine meters down a chimney and
this was a buried chimney in an old fireplace in
the back, and they had the fire brigade had to

(54:02):
come and pull apart all the guests tubes and that
the old old heat get to the back where the
old fireplace was and dragged out by the scruff of
your neck. And she's being moved by a dog, shed
things dropped on her by accident and eighteen years old.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Name Haucky. So the chimney was buried.

Speaker 10 (54:26):
No, so so the chimney there there was an old
existing fireplace, but they had built around it and they
had a guess heater with all the piping in that
put in the front like an old old yester.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Yeah, good story, Chalky. People talks texting. I realized paying
it forward and doing your things for groceries is a
thing and people get off on it. I still, yeah,
I still I don't really get it. But great, hoovery happy.

(55:02):
My cat's names are Mayweed, Ziggy, Jinx, Kanye, and Rufe.

Speaker 17 (55:06):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
As far as cat names, my tour. Name Trevor and Wendy.
They're thirteen and two. I got Trevor, so Wendy had
a friend, but I kept them as inside cats. Oh
that cat. That cat is not called it's called Sampson.
There was just a misspell. It put an es instead

(55:30):
of the A because they're next to each other. It's Simpson.
It's actually Sampson. Breaking news when that happens. Metallica can
be heard in Saint Helia's and they're playing split Ends. Yep.
Normally I think the wood goes the other way. Oh God,

(55:52):
not Powerball again? Six point seven million? Could you be bothered?
I'm in at fifty. Anyone going to see Priscilla Presley?
What she up to these days with her tour. She's
got a book out, she must talk about her time
with the King? Does she must be a market for it.
Not something I've thought of doing, but yeah, you never
say never in this world. Oh eight hundred and eighty

(56:16):
ten eight. If you want to be in touch, Marcus
Stoom Midnight Tonight one one, three for one, Conways, Scott
has fifty, he's on fifty two. Young's established. He's on
four off eight balls. How are you what's happening cats?
It's cat stories and they're good. Anything else, that's what
we're out tonight, Fairies and ridge o winder beckers, all

(56:37):
that and more. You want to be a part of it? Good?
Have you had anyone to pay for your groceries? Yes,
you might want to mention that also, Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two de text,
get in touch anythow you want to talk, well, good,
it's to be hearing from you, text, email or Marcus.

(57:02):
My cat was called Millsey Moozi. She's long gone now
I only have one post, love your show. Good name
Millsy Moosy with a Z three words mill Z Moosey. Marcus.
We had two ginger cats from the same litter mat
trix as the male and Leelus the female, both from
movies we liked. I know the movie Leelu l e

(57:25):
E l o O Leelu Metallica playing I Got You.
I'll just have a quick look online to see what
else people are saying about that. I had some friends
there that were texting about it or Facebook posting, but
that gets tiresome after a while. I think go and
enjoy a content, don't post about it. That drives me crazy?

(57:48):
Why is it drives me? If you got a concert,
go to a concert, any who, I'll see what the
comments online are. Here's what people. Oh, no, that's wrong,
I've typed in the wrong word. People I'm waiting for
after the show when someone's car has been total. You know,
they're the stories I like. Not seeing much posted online
about it. Maybe I've spelt the name wrong.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Anyho.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Twenty six away from ten, I don't think there's a
win loss. There's not a percentage win chance on the
cricket score, but we are ahead of where the West
Indians were at the stage, so we need one hundred
and twenty five from eighty eight balls. We're currently one
two three four one. We've got a head well. We
established will Conways on sixty, Young's on seven, but one
hundred and twenty four more from eighty seven balls. It
was one reduced, it was down to thirty four, so

(58:35):
that's good. We might win this. I'd've seen a few
more people there. It's like an okay evening at ah Lily.
But we'll keep you posted on that. Twenty four away
from ten, we are talking cats and winding back your
edometer and oh maybe a little bit of just all
around timu discussion to be about winding back your adometer,

(58:59):
anything else you want to bang on about two, I'll
be happy to hear from you. There'll be other topics
you might have and paying for other people's groceries. Yeah,
for every happy she was Sue great love It hitdle twelve.
The giraffe is settled into Hamilton Zoo. His name's Kevin.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
I think they've just got female giraffes in a run
a wildlife park they needed elsewhere. Yeah, it's a strange article.
He's too young to understand there were no girls at
the Hamilton Zoo. What does that mean? You've got to
transport them before they're two. Otherwise they're too tall because
the overpasses. Yep. Giraffes under human k were living surprising

(59:51):
long lives. Sevente encountered as twenty twenty is old and
twenty two was basically giraffe grandparent territory. There you go
sixty kilograms of plant matter a day, said the Undulate
senior keeper. All sorts of tree branches. Olive trees are
a favorite, and plants like ox tongue. There you go.

(01:00:15):
The zoo's ungulate team was one of the largest, with
eleven full time staff, which other animals would be. And
it's quite a good article as actually have changed my
mind anyway, that's interesting. I guess there'll be a big
draw card for people in Hamilton. Never been to Hamilton Zoo.
This is still tough. Amazing to see Cliff at eighty
five enjoying a drink with Priscilla Presley at eighty and

(01:00:35):
christ juts today. A joy to read. Some joyous news, Marcus.
After the Coldplay concert, punners were funding about Uber's sage pricing. Oh,
they'll be funding in tonight. People be seeing the ubers
that we've surged pricing. There will be the villa owners
complaining about people jumping their fences and stuff. Marcus. There
will be plenty of spare houses now with so many

(01:00:56):
moving to Australia. Now the Aussies can get a moto
and to do her, but no house in Australia. Marcus.
I paid for a very early Ladies grocery. She was
in front of me. The she go out to get
terribly flustered as a new visa card was not working.
It was only fifty bucks so she was relieved in
greatful a moment of my grandma and how she struggled. Yeah,
I've done that with people, but or at the airport,

(01:01:16):
if they're trying to pay and they can't get out
with that things, it's not working. Yeah, I think that's
the thing to do. I wouldn't go looking for someone, though,
I'd feel funny about that. I can't believe Priscilla is
out hawking for money still, Marcus, we had a cat
named Blackie. He had an obvious tuber aboves right. I
went on a holiday, came back to our surprise. Blackie

(01:01:37):
had the area above the eye shaven with stitches. Clever
cat found a vet surgeon for a proxy owner. That's good.
On the news about the police presence and New Plymouth,
a body has been found near the wind wand that's
from a texta but there was a story earlier that
there was a large police presence there. For those that

(01:01:59):
don't know New Plymouth, that's down there's a wind wanted
to lend lie sculpture and that's down at the breakwater
with all those people on the bikes going round and round.
But yes, that's what we're on about tonight. We're run
about cats and winding back your rid Joe and were
you can see where you can hear Metallica tonight? How

(01:02:20):
loud the noise is drifting, drifting, drifting, And what I'm
doing now, I'm going to sit up in my chair,
take my head off, put my headphones on properly. There
we go.

Speaker 6 (01:02:37):
Better.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
I've worn shorts today. We've got to leather cheer. It
makes it. It's never they're comfortable. I don't want to
sound like a mona, but I've forgot that what before
I wall shorts? Anyway?

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
What else can I tell you? People? Nineteen to ten?
The Christmas topics before Christmas will be talking about hams
and mutton hams and carols and ordering your ham did
I actually happened to be somewhere today. Yesterday I was
reading Cuisine magazine and Martin Bodsley was talking about crayfish

(01:03:19):
and what a great meal that is for Christmas, which
I kind of agree with. But what was interesting in
the article? And I meant to take a pun of it,
but I didn't. He was talking about cooking crayfish and
he said he just puts it in an earthenware pot
and covers it with salted boiling water and then just

(01:03:40):
leaves it. I've always cooked crayfish by putting it into
a big pot of water and boiling it until it
goes bright orange. I don't always do it perfectly, but
I didn't realize that you could do it was just
put the water on one and then just leave it.
He's a reputable chef, that's going. He's done the runs,
but you never really said it's the be because if
you do overcook, it does become tough. Delicious, but tough.

(01:04:04):
So I don't think many of us will be having
crayfish for Christmas, but you know, it's always nice when
you chance upon some. But yes, I thought it was
going to be heard about them doing that. There seems
to have been a wicket and the cricketly we watched
this on tidy hoo Is. It might be a replay
Young for eleven so one three five for two Young
gone eleven or fourteen caught Rutherford bowld chase so one

(01:04:27):
three five for two. That's where the full of the
wicket is seventeen to ten. Marcus, what was the police
emergency twelve to thirty in new Market today? I don't
know often we aren't found out about those. I've seen
nothing about that, But yeah, I know it's you always

(01:04:48):
curious when you want to know what's happened. But I've
got no intel on that. People powerball wasn't struck. Well,
it won't be. People won't be buying lotter. They'll be
taking a break, won't they. That would be my take
on that. I certainly aren't buying them anymore. Very disappointing,
very disappointing my lotto purchasing. Oh well, jump, and if

(01:05:12):
you want to talk on air tonight, I'd like to
hear from you. There's anything else you want to mention? Oh,
eight hundred eighty eight and nine nine to text, Do
to Do, to Do, to Do. By the way, those
mysterious balls that rolled up on the Sydney beaches at Malabar,
it's revealed this week that samples clicked it from the

(01:05:32):
bulls matched the chemical signature of Sydney's water Malibar wastewater system,
meaning that's where the water came from. I don't know
why they fought those perfectly for our spheres. They quite
rightly said not to touch the balls, with good reason anyway,
One dog ate some of the balls was now vomiting
again in touch. I also Curasao or whatever the town's

(01:05:54):
pronounce the city, if you've been there, that was would
be of interest. Yep, Marcus. How much lot of tickets
did you buy for the one that happened? I think
we spent twenty four dollars. I think it's I think
it was sixteen or twenty four to get another. Now,
I'm always confused with how that works, but it didn't
really check all the numbers, but it was clear it
wasn't a winner. It was even close. Fifteen to ten,

(01:06:19):
Chapman out for zero. Second ball, poor effort, hit it
out and a good catch, but an easy catch. That's happened.
Hittle twelve. If you want to talk nikets, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:06:29):
Hey, Marcus, Hey, I was first done ringing up.

Speaker 15 (01:06:34):
To ask you.

Speaker 16 (01:06:35):
I had an interesting thing coming up on my YouTube
today on the floods and the cargo in nineteen eighty four.
It was a documentary on YouTube, and can you when
you're around I know you're in South can you remember
those floods were you're around?

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
No, I only moved down in two thousand and one.
They still talk about them. There's only twice been a
civil emergency declared in South and one was during that
time and one was recently with the we had three
weeks ago. But it was a big deal. And often
when I when I moved down to in Vercago those
years ago, I was looking at house in Vicago, people
were very much the city was divided by people talk

(01:07:18):
about which places were still in the flood zone and
much remediation was done in rivers to keep you And
it hasn't flooded again since, but it was there was
I think even perhaps half the city was underwater. Well,
it was effective of this.

Speaker 16 (01:07:33):
Yeah, I think I think it was something. I think
it was on the YouTube through I think archives of
New Zealand or something. And I can't remember. I was
only won in nineteen eighty four, but it was a fascinating.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:07:50):
I never I never knew that a mccagle had such
a bad flood like that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
And it was the summer too. It happened in the
summer five thousand, wasn't it. No, it was it was
in January. Five thousand had to leave their home, five
thousand had to leave their homes and.

Speaker 16 (01:08:09):
Yeah, yeah, just just wonder if wonder if if you
were down there at the time or but it was.
It was really a fascinating place. And a couple of
shots came up. I think one came up of wind
or Winton.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
That would be right, that PEPs even both. Yeah, I
think there are other places. And I think the airport
was underwater for a long time because the airport is
actually below sea levels, that's quite vulnerable to flooding.

Speaker 16 (01:08:40):
Yeah. Yeah, But it was just just just something that
piqued my interest, and I thought thought of you today,
Marcus when I watched it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
And I'll have a look at that. Where where is
it from?

Speaker 5 (01:08:53):
Uh?

Speaker 16 (01:08:54):
On a YouTube channel? Jesus, it was on a YouTube channel?
What something like what's what's happening in Imbers or something
like that. I'll be able to find her. I can

(01:09:15):
text it. Text it three to nine to nine.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
To if you like perfect, you do what you can.
Thanks for that ten away from ten if you want
to be involved, Oh, eight hundred and eighty nine nine
to text are one three seven sorry one three seven
for three and a zero there for for Chapman, second
ball gone, Latham's out now three balls, no score. I

(01:09:41):
just think that last duck could have changed the direction
of this game. Boy Comoy just start there also now
be in touch with your talk on it. As I say, Marcus,
till midnight tonight, text if you can to Also, Marcus,
my neighbor's giving me a crayfish every Christmas Day for
the last three years. I live alone. So delicious, Gin,
thank you Jin. Yes, curious though, who's tried that way

(01:10:03):
to cook crayfish? Just boiling water and leave? He's a
good chef. Must be a wait, I've never come across
that as a way to do it. It's nine from ten.
I'm waiting to hear about the people when Metallica finishes,
I'll just look at that because I don't know. I
know at eden Park there are restrictions for how long

(01:10:24):
they can go. I'm looking. I'm googling what tom will
Metallica end tonight? It's expected to end at ten thirty
according to eden Park. And stuff that's AI. AI is
pretty good with a lot of stuff is I still
think about how good AI was about a domitors changing
when you tow a car. I think I've learned to

(01:10:48):
love I think I've learned to love AI. It was
ninety bucks for a poster I guess the tube was free.
You'd expect the tube to be free if you're paying
that much for a poster, wouldn't you eight to eleven?
Hit eight till ten rather big? Your pardon? Hitdle twelve
even this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:11:06):
Yeah, good evening, evening.

Speaker 9 (01:11:07):
Even So, it says bas has just dropped down on.

Speaker 8 (01:11:12):
That concert, has it?

Speaker 7 (01:11:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
What does that mean?

Speaker 7 (01:11:17):
Well, I don't know. You said ten thirty, but maybe
it's ten o'clock finish.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Oh, so it's just stopped the music, has it?

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:11:25):
I could hear a lot of bass for the last
couple layouts where about see you.

Speaker 15 (01:11:32):
And Edge temocke by the theories.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Maybe they're doing an encore and maybe they're gone silent
for a while, or maybe they're an instrumental set.

Speaker 9 (01:11:39):
Yeah, yeah, maybe, but yeah, I could hear a lot
of bass for the last coup layouts.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
That's the stuff that carries a yeah, yeah, okay, keep
in touch of it. Any more developments, you let us know,
brilliant that's what we're on about. Hittle twelve. Just thinking
about the price of silver, I think it's going to
go much higher. Police carry our carpack loaded rifle drove
out chopper was above. I don't know what that means.

(01:12:04):
That might be a new Market I think was it
gonna be a rosita robbery? Yeah, I don't know what
happened in new Market. What happens in new Market seems
to stay in new Market. What do they do with
the cannon that used to be there? Used to light
the cannon? There was a cannon on that small kind
of square there or triangle it would call it by
the pools. Now, I'm just about to go to the news.

(01:12:27):
But if you wanted to come through quickly, we can
handle that. Otherwise I'll be back after it. Well, yes,
every Christmas Eve I go for a scuba dive at Acaroa,
get a few kraze, some par and kenner to freed
the farno on Exomus Day, split the craze at half
and barbecue them. That's right. I just wonder if anyone
to cook them with the boiling water and left. I

(01:12:48):
know all the other ways could have all done it.
That was a new way, and that's why I thought
it was interesting. I know you'll have you tried and
tested ways that you have done it one nine three
for four ninety nine runs from sixty three balls feels
like one and a half poor per ball to get
to that nine and over. Will they do that? Maybe

(01:13:11):
it's a good shot there. That's a slip through for four.
Run run run, run, run, run run, no slip through
for three they run three. See to be a fairly
good team in the field. The West Indians expensive over
though nine from this over of four balls one four
one three could be costly. I'll give you the scores,
the player scores when it comes back up on the screen. People.

(01:13:34):
If it does before the news break about fifteen seconds,
they should do it. Ten Conways seventy seven, Latham on five,
you know seven. We're waiting for the first people coming
on I'm Atallican to find out what that was like,
whether they've got their ubers where there's traffic chaos. We're
also talking about cats, feral cats mainly, and feral cats

(01:13:56):
that you've managed to domesticate and how was that for you?
So it's cat stories tonight, which I quite enjoyed, and
people paying for your groceries. Yeah, might want to mention
that also tonight, what's happened in christ Church today? Get

(01:14:18):
in touch State Hurway forty four New Plymouth Taranaki. Please incident.
State Hurway forty four is closed. That's the highway within
the New Plymouth CBD due to a police incident. Closure
points are and place the intersection with Egmont Street and
the intersection with Lead at the street. Be prepared to

(01:14:39):
det a via local roads that's come through. Just there
we go, so that something's happened at the wind wand
all the other stuff you want to talk about. That's
what we are here for tonight. I'm looking forward to
what you've got to say. Do you want to be
a part of it, Get in touch. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty, ten eighty if you want to text. It's

(01:14:59):
nine to nine to two. Anything goes hit till twelve
o'clock tonight. So that's what we're on about. By the way,
they reckon the price is the national price of butter's
come way down by the internet. But the national price
hasn't come down, which is really worrying. We promise that
would happen. All the farmers said, oh, it comes up,

(01:15:20):
but then it'll come down when it's come down. It
hasn't come down. In the shops and the cricketer is
on it's been reduced to thirty four overs New Zealand's
one seven to one for four. Clearly the openers have
gone now Bracewell's on, Colway's gone. That happened during the

(01:15:44):
news to Bracewells on one, Latham's on ten seventy seven
runs from maybe from forty eight balls? What's that? Seven
over seven six is forty two eight overs eight six
forty eight w doing well to win this. I think
if one of their more established players was there, they
might get it. But welcome a team past Ted Hewitt's

(01:16:08):
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:16:10):
I got to even Marcus Hugh love it man. Here
I've just said between property and scarage and Dick property
and shoots more rivers cats, man like cats. But listen
to some podcast about cats. Is a really, really good
one by a guy named Bisley b I S. S. L. E.
Wade in the South Island, and it was on a

(01:16:34):
radio channel podcasting thing as he talked about cats and.

Speaker 21 (01:16:37):
The distinction between we need to get right in our mind,
the distinction between the fit feral cats and the household lobbie.

Speaker 19 (01:16:47):
And it is such a divisive conversation. It's just a
mine field of emotion. I was the operations manager. As
I might have told you once before that the core
of roild Life Century, which it became ZELANDI whose operation
manage there for two years. Hysteria from the neighbors about

(01:17:08):
you're going to kill my cat, You're to kill my
cat with a chest off the scale. But we got
there in the end and zeelanding and became the fierce
fully fast and then put in the free Century in
the country. And I'm really proud of having.

Speaker 21 (01:17:20):
Been in operation manage there for two years. I've finished
killian cats when I was there, because there were no
cats in the valley that have been pitched off the
cats on the outside.

Speaker 19 (01:17:31):
But just recently I've had a little bit of a
bad experience about cats. I have been in the habit
of putting out social media saying we're going to be
shooting an area. That resulted in the ESPCA phoning there
because they had had an historical cat owner on the phone.
So I'm going to stop those lying in the department
where I'm shooting in the area because I can't befother's

(01:17:53):
dealing with the.

Speaker 5 (01:17:53):
SPC day.

Speaker 19 (01:17:56):
So surely short. But cats have no place in the
ecosystem of New Zealand, they must be medicated now as
a hunter, as a past control shooter, this is what
I do with some of the rabbits that echo hunters
a shoot. I chopped them up basically the weekly after

(01:18:17):
getting them first. So I locked them into cyculate pieces
three some terms of wine boxes, put them in banara
boxes and send them through the Great Area Island where
a woman named Gilbert count here at first name right,
Albert Gilbert runs a century on Great Barrier Island called

(01:18:39):
Windy Who's Century? And the cats, the rats, sorry, the
rabbits that I killed in the Capitol region of the
North Island go.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
To trap fuel cats on.

Speaker 19 (01:18:51):
Great Barrier Island and I'm so proud to be involved
in it. I'm really happy about that they've killed. Windy
Hill Sentries has killed over two hundred field cats that
catch them in cages in the spectrum mainly obviously it's
going to be your main and no call to your animal,
just cut it between the.

Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
And yeah, it's really hard. It's really hard to listen
to you tonight. Have you got your mouth really close
to your miles better?

Speaker 19 (01:19:33):
Yeah, it's conditioning.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
And also you don't pause. I know the feral cat
population is obviously just made mainly up from domestic cats
that go wild, is it not correct?

Speaker 19 (01:19:51):
It's a yes and no thing. Obviously, woman cat in
his young team with the early settlers, the current settlers,
et cetera. The article I was listening to about this
guy Bisley in the South is I mean like two
hundred and fifty million cats in New Zealand. So the

(01:20:12):
history of the cat in the New Zealanders arrive at
early settlers like order Sailing Shift had a cat on
board to catch the rants. Obviously that got off and escape.
One of the current threats to the cat population in
our Dad at the moment is the I'm going to
call it the urbanization of rural areas into lifestyle blocks.

(01:20:33):
And so people who live on a lifestyle block, when
they had a muggy that mug you might decide that
it would be more fun to go and live in
the forest and eat stinks and geckos than to stay
at home as sit on the couch. Or something might
happen that cat will go af.

Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
Into the wild.

Speaker 19 (01:20:49):
And so that there's another source that we are actually
populating the rural areas. Marsh style books are actually populating
rural areas with cats which may may behave as a
domestic cat where mum and dad a home, but behave
as a film cat when they're not home. And she
do go on Great Barry Island. The Orcklanders go out

(01:21:12):
in their what do they call them, big floating one
bars and they go to their Dutch on Great Berry Island.
They take the cat with him. It's time to go home. Oh,
I can't find the cat. I wonder where the cat's gone.
And the cat's go on bush.

Speaker 6 (01:21:29):
So they go back to.

Speaker 19 (01:21:30):
Auckland, and so they're populating and repopulating Great Berry Island
with cats from Auckland, which then start living off the
bird life. And Judy Gilbert is her name. She is
worded obe. I think it was for services conservation on
Great Bearry Island. And so that's how it happened. You know,

(01:21:53):
in the early days of sailing ships and then there's
whalers and there's sealers. Andre's Carrie Forrest Felling. They had
cats and they're deep in the bush and they go off.

Speaker 14 (01:22:05):
You know.

Speaker 19 (01:22:06):
One of the things that Busy talked about was the
distance that these cats go, huge distances, and how cunning
they are and how carefully they walk through the bush,
how observe it they are. One of the guys I
worked with the Kouri Wildwife Sanctuary had spent a year
or so. You're hunting cats in one of their friers

(01:22:26):
up and forth.

Speaker 22 (01:22:27):
He said, they knew.

Speaker 19 (01:22:27):
There was one time cat there and they hunted it
for three months before they were able to shoot it.
It was such a cunning animal. And so these are
apex predators that will eat any of you know, they'll
eat anything. And when they autops through these animals, there
are anything up to thirty two different species on the

(01:22:49):
diet of a feral cat. You doing about wetters, You're
talking about snails, You're talking about moss, butterflies, birds, skinks, lizards,
Everything that we hold precious in this country and our environment.
Our Tolehamer, our treasured species get eaten by these cats.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
I live with their shue. But to become a bit
of a rant. But thanks very much for coming through.
I think this is most stuff that we're aware of.
But that's but yeah, I appreciate your passion. I guess
I should say seventeen past ten if you want to
come through one eight seven for four new Zealand needs
sixty one more runs from thirty seven balls, so it's

(01:23:30):
only six hours over in half an hour, but gosh,
this over it's gone for sixteen so we're doing well
fifty seven for it'd be an exciting finish. You might
want to go and watch that that's on Duke. I
think I think that's the channel be in Touch if
you were to talk Marcus till midnight tonight. Yeah, I
was quite enjoying it. General to sketch about the mention

(01:23:51):
fine stray cats or feral cats and had I think
everyone knows that how bad they are on that. But yeah,
I sometimes think the answer is not to Oh, I
don't know what the answer is. Actually, may we not
have cats? Have you got breaking news? Let us know

(01:24:12):
what is happening around the country. This seems to have
been an instant in you plumb. Someone has said it
to Stebbing. That's from a Texter.

Speaker 8 (01:24:26):
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Then, what are the Indian in plant? Bad weather? You
don't even hear a plane coming back from Raratana because
of bad weather, windle that way, couldn't land a verse weather.
It looks like they had about three goes at it.
Angela it's Marcus. Welcome, Hey Marcus, Now how are you?

(01:24:49):
What can you tell me? Angela?

Speaker 23 (01:24:52):
That was massive?

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
Oh okay, yeah, tell me all what happened?

Speaker 23 (01:25:01):
So suicidal tendency first, Yes, from America.

Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
That's crazy.

Speaker 23 (01:25:09):
And if even is it, I'm going to give her
a certificate to say she can sing. And then Metallica
were up and they sung a Floden song and a
six sixty song in one of their breaks.

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
What's what's six sixty? So did they play?

Speaker 5 (01:25:32):
They played fruit really well?

Speaker 16 (01:25:34):
Okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:25:37):
Just Robert the Bassis and Curtainly guitarists while well Love
and James was off having a break. So those two
boys played those two songs.

Speaker 24 (01:25:50):
It was really cool.

Speaker 23 (01:25:52):
They didn't really all the word, but the audience sure, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
How are the sitelines? How is the sound?

Speaker 23 (01:26:01):
It was really good.

Speaker 8 (01:26:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:26:03):
And I have to say that Eden Park so well organized.
They really do a good job.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
To your Byny Snacks in a box, lucky old you. Okay,
and tell me something every day of the crowd. Why
did people have corporate boxes? Did they?

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:26:23):
Yeah, okay, there weren't many white T shirts. You've got
lots of black t.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Shirts And did you have your because you had a
corporate boxer at your car park right there, did you?

Speaker 23 (01:26:34):
No, it's still quite a waterway.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Okay, so what time it finished? Ten o'clock was it?

Speaker 23 (01:26:40):
I'm not sure I left it. I've got a really
early start and I'm old lady.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Now appreciate you coming through. Angel, Thank you very much.
Twenty past ten, twenty two past ten, Niel, it's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:26:55):
So I belonged to a group of senior assistants that
meet together in a special building, you know, fully filled
with kitchen. And one of the things we did this
last year was sponsor out kittens from the SPCA to
good homes. We pay for all the microchipt ENGL and

(01:27:17):
all that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
Wow, okay, so what's your group?

Speaker 15 (01:27:24):
It's actually Bombs your trust. I will give the name
out because you know it's supposed to be not a
business arrangement. And we do is we go to hastings
and help fill out food parcels and cook up meals
for the homeless. Sure, and this has been gone for
a while, of course, and my for rolls very small

(01:27:47):
to the true. But the other day we went all
went out to Marine Pray Beach and the lady that's
in charge had a grandson with us and he's only
one and a half. And one of the senior citizens
is six foot three and built by Colin me and
he walked with his hand out holding this little twill

(01:28:11):
tan down to the water's siege. It was everybody took
photos with the cell phones. It was so moving.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
Well yeah, I think, well you don't think of Pinsion
has been that big?

Speaker 16 (01:28:22):
Do you?

Speaker 15 (01:28:24):
Good news Honor.

Speaker 3 (01:28:29):
On a night so night, freey good news, Neil, thank
you for that. There we go another work at the
cricket LBW went to review and got it. So yeah,
I think we've got five wickets. Now get the result
when I can said this and he'll be good. Latham's
on twenty two fifty four, Puddon brace well out for eleven,

(01:28:49):
so we need fifty four from twenty nine balls twenty
four past ten if you want to come through, and
too we're talking about cats and Metallica and Priscilla Presley.
I quite know what who tours people are paying to
go and see it. I'm not quit sure what you're
paying to see that makes any sense. Marcus didn't Metallica

(01:29:13):
write their own songs, it sounds like they're playing other
band songs. Donald Wamadhu, I think they played two covers.
I think it's the thing now, and I don't think
necessarily think it's a good thing. I think it's slightly patronizing.
But when bands two they tend to play.

Speaker 23 (01:29:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
What I don't like is when they get some kid
up from the audience to play, but they go. I
think cold plays to blame for that, but it always
goes viral. But there's kids begging to be got up.
But anyway, they'd pay a six to sixty song.

Speaker 6 (01:29:42):
Oh well.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
The year go, that's what's happened. Lotto hasn't been one.
By the way, this is interesting. Daryl Mitchell becomes the
first key. We sit to Glenn turn on the top
the ICC Men's ODI betting rankings. Yep, I didn't know that.
That's interesting, sat and is off three off two balls.

(01:30:07):
Get in touch. You on to be a part of it.
Here til twelve twenty seven past ten, Just twenty nine
minutes past ten. People, if you've got texts to keep
those going. So if you want to talk on ay,
that would be great. If you want to give us
the review of Metallic. As you're hitting home, friends are
living early for Angela. I felt bad about that. Friends
having a corporate box at Metallica. Oh well, guess changing

(01:30:29):
world and the cricket's just about to win. There's only well,
not many balls left. I think there's only four overs left,
or maybe even less than that. So if you want
to see the conclusion of that, so it'd be happening now.
I think two hundred for five new Zere needs forty
eight from twenty three balls, so yeah, just under four
overs left to go. Well, we get I don't know

(01:30:50):
Satin is the right person there. Latham's on twenty three
off nineteen, Sentinus five off four. It's free to wear
on Duke. If you want to go watch the end
of it, I suggest you do. We'll do what you want, actually,
but if you want to see the invent is free
to wear as well. Tell that when people they complain
it's not much sport free. This is free. My brother
and sister in law are at Metallic. I'm getting little

(01:31:12):
videos and sent one from mad of mine. He said
you couldn't beat Adele concert. A couple of weeks o
the Adelaide concert a couple of weeks back. Thank you Marcus.
Home from Cliff Richard Now, great concert, excellent playlist and
lighting effects. He still sounds good on the band's great
average age in the town hall about eighty, Thank you Gary.
I imagine the average age at the Eden Park would be

(01:31:33):
about sixty. Just to Upcape on the cricket score, they
need forty four from twenty balls, but this over has
gone for six seven eighty nine ball to come. So
they're doing all right, but I need more than that.
If you're hitting home from Metallica, let us know how
that concert was. It's just finished. I gather, um, yeah,

(01:31:53):
feel free to call through eight hundred something else that
need to see what else? You said something else that
rang a bell? I thought we need to need to mention.
Forgot what it was, but you see want to talk
on it. That's what we're about, all this stuff. So
I come through tonight as I say, oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty tooking cats too, and whether you've
domesticated fear or cats and how that worked out for you.

(01:32:16):
I'm curious to hear about that also tonight, and people
saying that Cliff Fritche is very good tonight. But yeah,
would he be I mean, was he kept doing it?
The guy I like that kept touring was Dean Campbell.
He kept touring even though he had Alzheibers going to
remember what he was doing. His loved singing, which I
thought was nice of his family to keep him going.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Um.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
But yeah, be in touch to one hundred and eight
for five you've did, and that's the situation. Who got
two more overs left to go? Twenty out away from eleven?
If you want to talk on air, I'm curious stuff.
There's going to be any hassles after the Metallica with
people managing to get their cars and ubers and stuff
like that. So or keep that conversation going if you
have anything else you want to talk about. There's been
instant Taranaki too. Taranaki. The main road is closed, not

(01:33:05):
the main road, but State however forty four, which is
down around the waterfront. There's been an incident beside the
wind one. Someone said there has been a stabbing. Someone
said it has been fatal. That is from Texters. Oh,
by the way too, that's right. Nina was talking about
the Pike River situation. Fifteen years today. The movie's very good.

(01:33:29):
As one reviewer said, I think it was actually the
woman that's on our show, Francesca. She said it was
a movie that stays with you. I agree with that. Also, tomorrow,
Wicked for Good opens extremely good reviews. Yeah, so I'll
probably go and see that tomorrow if I can wrangle
the kids and get to the right time. But yeah,
we're into that. That's The Wizard of oz One, extremely good.

(01:33:55):
I kind of thought there'd be more hype for the sequel. Well,
it's not a sequel, it's part two. The first time
was about three hours long and then just to be continued,
which realize at the time, and it was a year ago.
So yes, we don't have to see the preview of that.
Let me know what it's like. I guess it takes
a darker turn and I can handle that. But yeah,

(01:34:17):
that's also something that I could mention tonight. You change
from Metallica. There's a six off SETNA. That's good, well
done you. I'll tell you school when I can see it.
He's gone seventy eight meters Marcus. You keeps saying Cliff Richards,
but no s on the end. Oh, as you get older,
you put on everything. I think the Keith Richards, the

(01:34:37):
Cliff Richards. Thanks for that. Cliff Richard feels unfinished with
you say, just Cliff Richard. Cliff Richard, twenty six we
eleven looking fort to your calls. Four six four one.
They're the last four balls at the New Zealander's face.
So they've done really well. I think we need about
twenty five from fifteen. Satan has kind of come out

(01:34:58):
and done what Satner does, and yeah, we need twenty
five runs now from thirteen balls is over four six,
four to one. Dot ball last over to come on
this ball which is so far gone for ten fifteen runs.
So it's expensive over quality bets. People, they're Charlie, it's Marcus.
Good evening, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
I just jumped them to Karen whod you're talking about
Cliff Richard and not Cliff Richards. The reason he was
called Cliff Richard was his manager when he got him
started in the fifties, said to him, we'll call you
Cliff Richard. So when you're being interviewed, the interviewer would say,
and now we have Cliff Richards, and he would say, no, no,
that's Cliff Richard. So he got his name mentioned twice

(01:35:41):
in the same center Randall Betta.

Speaker 6 (01:35:45):
Wow, my little story.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
Isn't it one if it pans out?

Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
Do you think.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I think you've just cut out years later? Yeah, I
like it a lot. Okay, what was his original.

Speaker 5 (01:36:00):
I've got no idea, No, no, I just google it.
I'm sure it'll come up.

Speaker 3 (01:36:07):
I should ask Larry Williams. He was head of the
Cliff Richard fan club, the z B broadcaster Harry Webb,
Harry Roger Webb. No, I wouldn't wouldn't care. I wouldn't
put that in the quiz. I feel sort of allergic
to Cliff Richard. We have a Cliff Richard free quiz.

Speaker 6 (01:36:26):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
Doesn't say that about his name a lot. More about
that lead sing of the Drifters obviously different from the
US group. I'll see that where it says about his
name changing. Anyway, now we didn't have him changing his name.

(01:36:49):
I can't see that. Someone else might know. There was
a movement right in Samily suggested the same Richard's a
tribute to Webb's favorite hero musical Here a little Richard,
there we go. Now, let me just look at the
cricket people while I'm here. Before we go to our
next call, I give you an update. They need eighteen

(01:37:09):
from eleven, so there's just over just on under two
overs left. They've got four off the first ball, it'll
go for six, so ten off the first two balls.
This is exciting. So now they need twelve from ten balls. Jeez,
good center, and he amazing ability to see the ball.

(01:37:32):
Well it sounds obvious, but he clearly has got it.
Just to show there are more people here, Jen, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:37:41):
Oh hi, dear Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
You come on quiet tonight, Jen, like Stanning, very relaxed. Sorry,
what you're setting very relaxed.

Speaker 22 (01:37:50):
Oh well, ready for sleeping?

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
Okay, good on you.

Speaker 22 (01:37:54):
Yes now. Peeral kits a little black and white kit
called the Vicky, and I rescued him from a park
near the library. And he bites and he scratches, and
he put his thing tooth right through my hand and

(01:38:19):
I didn't even react because he missed the nerve and
the blood vessel. And he was surprised that I didn't
react as he withdrew his fang from my hand. But
I got very nervous of him. He's very controlling, very intelligent,

(01:38:40):
and I wanted him to move off the desk one
day and get out of the way so I could
do my work, and he wouldn't. And I was too
scared to grab him to move him, and because then
Casey put me again, and so I pulled my hat

(01:39:00):
right down over my face out of sheer frustrations. And
then I lifted up the bottom of the hat and
peered at him, and you could tell he was smiling,
and and then he laughed and we sort of made friends.

(01:39:21):
Then he's a mighty big handful. He loves sitting on
my chest and rolling about and stretching and smoothing up
around me, round my neck and fights with my hair.
And he's a right handful. You can't do a thing

(01:39:42):
with them.

Speaker 8 (01:39:43):
How long dominate?

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
How long was it since?

Speaker 22 (01:39:46):
He ah, maybe a week and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
Actually not long, okotthought you gonna say six years ago. Okay,
how long have you had it.

Speaker 22 (01:39:56):
Had the cat?

Speaker 21 (01:39:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:39:59):
Ah had to tell really, probably two years.

Speaker 3 (01:40:04):
Or something now, so it's not really domesticated. Is it
that still good? Bite you again?

Speaker 22 (01:40:11):
He could? Yeah, But I have a gingerboy that also
can swing around and bite. He's sort of semi ferrell too.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
Did you get he called ginger is he called ginger boy. Yeah,
where'd you get gingergements?

Speaker 12 (01:40:25):
The boy?

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
Where'd you get ginger boy?

Speaker 22 (01:40:26):
From one of the houses I was renovating. He turned
up there and I left him behind because he belonged
to a lady up the road from the house I
was renovating, So I left him behind, and then I
bought another house in town I was renovating, and he

(01:40:50):
turned up there.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
Wow, you didn't know did renovation? You should be on
the block.

Speaker 22 (01:40:58):
Yeah, the off my block?

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Well yeah, I would say that, but yeah, okay, of
very interesting, John, I enjoy carying about your cat. Seventeen
to ten. He's in at the last over now and
he's eight from six balls. Sat there on thirty two,
he's facing I think they've got the single. The n
Latham on thirty four certainly got thirty two or thirteen balls.

(01:41:22):
Well the South African, sorry, the Indian the cheapest creepers.
The West Indian is now changing his shoes. Interesting he
had socks with like nodules on the bottom. I don't
know what that was about. But this is an important
over for this bowler. Seals it is, so they need
eight runs from six balls. Oh call it. As we said,

(01:41:45):
it's got nothing else. I'll tell you what happens on.
This won't take long. First ball coming in now, oh
he got cleanly, nice shot. That'll be three. They'll run two.
That's enough. That'll do it as long as you can
hold the strike. So now seven from five actually just

(01:42:08):
went run on that. Maybe he hasn't got the strokeer
Latham's on the strike. Now, that was a shame. It
probably was a second there what line wasn't a good
shot that I could tell. So seven from five Latham
on strike seals the bowler. Wish they were moll there.
It's a great game. It's a cracker bowler coming in now,
fairly good run up, Oh high having too quick for me.

(01:42:33):
I think it might be four buys. Actually yeah, four buys.
He the yeah, that's that's terrible. The player ducked away.
It was a bouncer. It was high and went right
to the boundary. Fox seals loss in the match. Now
they need two runs from five balls. I did to
get it. He did hit it, but I think it
was a no ball as well. It was a full

(01:42:55):
toss that he hit. So you don't know what went
on there. A lot to pick from that one, but
just one bounce and then it hit the one bounce
then out, So yeah, it looks for embarrassed the bar.
So yeah, I think I only had two from four balls,
five balls to get the extra one. It's a free
hit this ball because of that noball at the head

(01:43:16):
without him, but it looked like he slipped out of
his hand. This one's a free hit. I just bowled
under arm. Actually they could win on this ball, I
would think, hope of making some sense. Bowl looks devastated.
This is seals coming in now for the free hit.
Just a single, just a single. So four more balls

(01:43:39):
left and then he had one run from four balls.
Bowler is free, angry with himself, putting his hand through
his head, then throwing the hand down in disgust, shaking
his head back and forward, muttering to himself it's not good,
biting his lip, blowing out air. It looks devastated. It's

(01:44:00):
crawl sported. It not for cowards. So four balls left,
one run to get it. Warming up. Now for the
next ball, I think this will be it. Satan's on strike.
He's looking happy. He's got four goes at it had
a boundary or had a single. I think a single
might be to are we drawn with it? I don't

(01:44:23):
even know we're drawn now. The single will win it
and they'll be the series for us too. He's a
bolting to Satna now here he comes and comes got
it cleanly away for four, had all the field in
so that that's exciting. Good on you anyway, twelve away
from eleven o'clock head on midnight, just so you know.

(01:44:44):
Two the black Caps have won the series, won the
last match, won the series, so they betted well. The
highest scorer was Conway ninety or eighty four. Second highest
was a Ravendra fifty six or forty six balls, So
extraordinary match there. That was good right to the end,
right to the last four or five. That was interesting.
The other thing too, the new fairies have been announced.
They're two hundred meters long. I did look at the

(01:45:05):
lengths of the old f Two of them are one
eighty one one seventy eight, so they're twenty meters longer.
So they're bigger fairies, but not much bigger ferries. So
I look like they'll be right. But I mean, I
think we had a better proposition, but they've gone with those.
Are they rail? And abled.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
It was too confusing, too much back and forth. I
don't even know what happened with Winster at the end
of that. But they're making out it to win I
don't know whether it will be or not, whether they're
here on time, whether they're any good. They're made by
the Chinese, I don't know if they Yeah, who knows.
Who knows how good they will be and where there's

(01:45:41):
going to be. I guess they're I guess they're fairly
efficient manufacturers of ships. I was going to see how
long it's going to be until they come through. Just
announced today due to into service in twenty twenty nine,
so over three years away. I guess the old fleet
will manage to cope through it all. Then, Hey, hold

(01:46:01):
on lines free if you want to talk on there
before the It's talk about Metallica night if you're hitting
home from that to be good to hear from you.
And about cats, obviously feral cats. No one's mentioned Cattio tonight.
Someone's texted that has they have have ten cats? That gosh,
that's a lot, don't they. I'd like to hang out

(01:46:22):
in their house with ten cats, But you never know,
might be a very exciting house to live in now.
But yeah, if you're a talking now, I'd love to
hear from you before the end of the show. Some
of the other stuff I can tell you about might
prompt you to call. Let me think what's happening out there? People?
Eight from eleven. There is a heavy rain morning for

(01:46:46):
parts of his Enland tonight and early tomorrow morning. It
is plain monopoly day today that devery days a day
this day. In nineteen seventy five, the dramatic film One
Flow of the Cookie's Nest was released. Good movie, wasn't
It must have been harrowing to see it in those days?
I don't by this way. In two thousand and seven,
Amazon be caned selling the kind never had a kindle.

(01:47:08):
Some people love them, But yeah, get in touch. There's
anything else you want to mention, be good to hear
from you. So, yes, the cricket has been one and
not hearing any dramas about Metallica. They played a couple
of covers were so they played a split in song
or as a crowded house song. I think it was
a split in song. Also played a six to sixty

(01:47:30):
song and a Burglar and Hamilton stole tried to steal
a ute, but didn't manage to carry it off because
it was a manual yep. After she discovered the vehicle
of a manual transmission, she realized she wasn't able to
drive it and the victim and the victim detained it.

(01:47:52):
There you go. That's your story for you. But y're
seven away from eleven to anything else you want to
mention tonight here till twelve o'clock. There's any other magic
for you to that. You know what that is. But yes,
get in touch. We just closed down all god, all
the tabs. I was talking cooking about crayfish. No takers
for that. But yeah, you might have just finished watching

(01:48:13):
the cricket too, you be if it was a quick reporter.
I didn't see it all. I had often that I
saw some of it, enough of it to realize it
was a good victory. It was close, it was exciting.
You might have seen something that you want to bring
up about that. That's all good too. It was up
for cricket discussion. So SMUs have been quite a lot
of cricket. You said, it's not even summer yet. I
don't quite know why that's happened. Well, that's been sketchy

(01:48:35):
with the weather sketches all get out, But this match
was down to thirty four overs. It's a hawk's bay
were it never rained. Now everything was happening internationally. Let
me see what I can tell you Epstein file bill
files bills passed after near unanimous support. Let me think

(01:48:58):
what else I can tell you. Ultra Processed food link
to harm in every major human organ study finds and
curisea if I pronounce that right there. Off to the
World Cup. They are the smallest population country going to
the World Cup, only about one hundred and fifty third
about the pro population of Hamilton, so it's not a
big place obviously if we're good at football. So good

(01:49:21):
on them. And tremendous reviews for Wicked for Good, which
opens tomorrow. They reckon that Alphaba Cynthia Rivo is unbelievably
good because the first half, with the first half of
the movie was so good you wonder how the second
half could live up to it. I can't wait enjoy

(01:49:45):
that muchly, So yep not embarrassed to be going to
that one tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see if we could
wrangle the kids and get to that that's happening anyway,
So there we go. That's about everything. So we won
the first two odios. The next ODI is at Kenny
k a Cedin Park and that will be on Saturday
from one thirty. We'll have time to watch that. Whether

(01:50:09):
I will, I don't know. Someone says Roger, says Marcus.
Good luck with the Chinese Fairies. New South Wales brought
harbor Firies, had to replace all the engines. You'd think
the kiwis would loom. They had issues with the Chinese locomotives.
Did they not just think it seems to think seems

(01:50:29):
to be the modern way of importing. Now there'll always
be troubles. Say you what a water tight contract and
whether they'll be on time? Well I guess they. Ye're
twenty twenty nine, that's when that's happening. But yes, if
you want to talk the last day, I'd like to
hear you. Our black Caps win the World Cup. Thank you, Marcus.

(01:50:51):
That was tough to watch. Feel for the West Indies
year was terrible. That dumb no ball Metallica a welcome
boost to Auckland. All the hotels booked, all the bars
pecked in downtown. The Zavo. We need more of this.
I can't believe anyone who'd say otherwise. Well, I think
we need more, but I think it's probably a limited
number of bands that can do what Metallica did. It

(01:51:12):
seems though you get ed cher and every so often
and you get Metallica. I don't know if there's many
other acts, so you get a Dell. Probably there wouldn't
be many other acts that could fill it in park.
That would be the concern. I would think there's just
not the artists. I don't know who the other artists
you'd want to see would be that we missed out.

(01:51:32):
And Taylor Swift's too big, there's not the accommodation to
support her tour. So you don't know what the answer
is to that one. You might have some hot reckons
in the next half hour or hour. By the way,
they give the Man of the Match award to one
of the West Indian players. I don't know why. I
guess he was the best. It's always unusual when the

(01:51:55):
man of the matches from the losing team. I've always
thought and probably a bit wrong. Yeah, he got a century.
Marcus Lorenzo and I have just left the Metallica concert.
The visual were larger than murials at home. Not sure
what song reminded me more of you, Harvester of Sorrow
or Master of Puppets? Rather lovely and the range is
tailed off Berry from Waimette your Haileyot's Marcus?

Speaker 20 (01:52:18):
Good evening, Hey Marcus, how's it going good?

Speaker 3 (01:52:22):
Haley? How are you going?

Speaker 25 (01:52:23):
I'm good.

Speaker 20 (01:52:24):
I'm just swinging because I've just finished coming from the
Metallica concert.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
Okay, great, fantastic, tell me all about it.

Speaker 17 (01:52:32):
Oh my god, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:52:34):
If you wanted fire, you got fire.

Speaker 20 (01:52:36):
If you wanted fireworks, Marcus, you got fireworks. And guess
what if you also wanted forty giant inflatable balls that
were pushed into the crowd, you got forty giant inflatable
balls that were pushed into the crowd. You got everything.
It was amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
Did the Aukland's hand did the Auckland, I say Orkands,
it probably be people from everywhere? Did they handle the
giant balls? Well?

Speaker 20 (01:52:58):
They did. They loved a good handful of balls. You
know they loved it. Now you go, yeah, Oh, I
was gonna say it was just the best concert I've
ever been to. It was really it was really well
and truly amazing. It was very well done.

Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
Who were you there with? Au from Auckland?

Speaker 20 (01:53:18):
I am from Auckland, I'm a Westie and I was
there with my husband.

Speaker 3 (01:53:22):
Okay, and how old? How old your husband?

Speaker 20 (01:53:25):
How old is he?

Speaker 3 (01:53:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:53:28):
Oh he's well we both actually just turned thirty four.

Speaker 3 (01:53:31):
Okay, So would you be quite young there?

Speaker 20 (01:53:34):
Yes, there was definitely some good old aged rockers there.

Speaker 3 (01:53:39):
It was great a quiet night in West Auckland, and
I imagine half the people would be there with it.
Did you see all your neighbors there, Haley? Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:53:47):
Basically yeah, they're all family, aren't they Margarets. They basically
are right.

Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
And it seems as though these days, I don't know
if this is AI or what, but it seems as
though acoustics, the acoustics at stadiums has got very very good.
Was it your impression?

Speaker 20 (01:54:02):
Yeah, it was amazing. I wore concert air plugs because
you know, preserve the ears. And it was clear's day,
like clear of mud. It was so good. The acoustics
were really well done. Like I was so impressed with
the setup.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
And the stage wasn't a sensor with the stage was
at one end and there were just people standing on
the field. Is that the way it worked?

Speaker 18 (01:54:26):
Ah?

Speaker 20 (01:54:27):
Yes, But they did like a little half circle with
their stage so that they could come out into the
crowd a little bit, which.

Speaker 22 (01:54:34):
Was quite cool.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
Okay, oh it sounds fantastic. You don't want to complain
about the price of beer or hot dogs? It was
all fine? Would you take your mind?

Speaker 17 (01:54:41):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:54:42):
No, that was actually it was pretty reasonable.

Speaker 9 (01:54:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:54:44):
I thought the pricing was fine. Yeah, it was good.
It was good for what you got, you know, checks
and chfol not too bad.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
And you didn't go to the merchandise shop today? Are
by the ninety dollars poster?

Speaker 20 (01:54:56):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:54:57):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:54:57):
Do you know my pottery teacher? She actually asked me,
she said, could you please get me a T shirt?
Marcus even ty dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:55:04):
Ye, but pottery, I'm in the thing of the love
she's given you. How much would she get paid? Not
that much for teaching pottery?

Speaker 20 (01:55:12):
I know she doesn't she itally just does it for love.
But you know, I know, but I was like, I'm not.
I can't justify a seventy dollars shoot, when you can
get one from Camarte k Mart for like twenty bucks either.

Speaker 3 (01:55:24):
You know, I've never heard k marte. I quite like that.

Speaker 16 (01:55:27):
Where did you use it? Use it?

Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Where did you park?

Speaker 20 (01:55:31):
Where did I pack? I didn't. I actually took the train.

Speaker 9 (01:55:34):
It look really good.

Speaker 3 (01:55:35):
Bistic.

Speaker 4 (01:55:36):
Wow, I know, I know.

Speaker 20 (01:55:38):
And then my mother in law packed us up from Evandale. Wonderlay.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
What a mother in law.

Speaker 20 (01:55:43):
I know, she is the best.

Speaker 4 (01:55:44):
We love her.

Speaker 3 (01:55:45):
You should have got her a T shirt too.

Speaker 20 (01:55:48):
I should have got her a bloody poster. Honestly, what
a legend. Anyway, all right, I've got to go because
I'm on back roads and I'll love and leave you.

Speaker 3 (01:55:55):
But fantastic, great report. One of the best reports I
ever heard from a concert. Well anyway, Jonuts, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:56:02):
I don't know, Marcus, are you been talking about crayfish? Yes,
when we were growing up on the farm, and I'm
in my late seventies, we used to got them up
on our beach and Dad would come home with bags
of crayfish on the floor of the car and us
up on the bag seat, and Mum used to cook
them boiling water in the copper and cook them in
the copper. But I mean, I like them now, and

(01:56:24):
they're so expensive, but I wasn't eating them then when
I was a child and a teenager and that, but
probably didn't know what I was missing, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:56:33):
Well, I was just ready today that someone says to
cook them, you just put them in an earthenware pot, right, yeah,
and you put boarding salted water on them and just
leave that and that will cook them. And that's the
best place, which I've never heard. This is not boiling.
This is just putting boiling water on them and not
on the stove or anything. Have you ever done it
that way?

Speaker 17 (01:56:53):
Well, I've never cooked them. I haven't had many in
my adult life. I've had some occasionally. But they're so
expensive anyway, aren't they? But you wouldn't they wouldn't need
a lot of cooking. So I suppose mum, I don't
have Mamma had them in the water.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
In the copper, the cop would have had heat below it,
wouldn't it. That'd still be continued to boil. It can
be quite tough if you leave them in too long.
But I reckon this way is perfect. But look, no
one's rung up to back me up on that one.

Speaker 17 (01:57:21):
Well, she'd know what she's doing because she's a very
good cook and yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:57:28):
People are suggesting it's a very good Christmas dish.

Speaker 17 (01:57:31):
Oh well it would be because you didn't have tab
turkey and and why not? Why not here? But there's
a treat I mean, you know, I mean, if you
can afford it, why not are.

Speaker 11 (01:57:44):
We doing it?

Speaker 3 (01:57:44):
I think that's me? Thank you, Joan Kevin, it's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:57:48):
Good evening, Hey Marcus, how are you mate?

Speaker 22 (01:57:51):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:57:51):
Thanks Metelica any good bloody.

Speaker 26 (01:57:54):
Rock and roll made. It was one of the best
nights I've had in the car with my mate Richard.
He took his young son Alex along, fourteen years.

Speaker 3 (01:58:01):
Old, from from in Vicago, not from.

Speaker 9 (01:58:06):
In the car, yeah, in the car.

Speaker 26 (01:58:12):
The northwest of Orphans. So but no, it was a
good night.

Speaker 2 (01:58:15):
Man.

Speaker 26 (01:58:15):
We saw them about fifteen years ago at Spark Arena
and this was a level up and very good.

Speaker 3 (01:58:21):
This will be the last time you see them, is
it right?

Speaker 9 (01:58:24):
I think so?

Speaker 18 (01:58:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:58:25):
They're getting pretty pretty tired now. And the drummer was
a bit kind of slow, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:58:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:58:29):
So but other than that, a great night.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
Hang And when you say the drummer, isn't that?

Speaker 2 (01:58:32):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
Isn't that the isn't that? The founder of the band
I mean that we called him by his name.

Speaker 4 (01:58:37):
Lies Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:58:41):
Yeah yeah. I just felt like he's kind of like
the rest of the band's still kind of right there
and solid, he's just kind of just I don't know
if we can just see maybe getting a little bit
long in the tooth.

Speaker 3 (01:58:51):
What was the everage age of the audience.

Speaker 26 (01:58:54):
Ah, late thirties, early forties.

Speaker 3 (01:58:57):
I reckon okay, and Eden Park worked well as a venue.

Speaker 26 (01:59:01):
Yeah, It's the first time I've been there for an event,
and I thought it was worked very well and.

Speaker 3 (01:59:06):
Dramas with getting in, getting out, searching food, anything like that.
It seemed as that, I impact seems we've got a
lot better at things like this, doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:59:14):
Yeah, And I've done it well.

Speaker 26 (01:59:15):
I think they've got away from kind of you know
that like weather crowd like that you can go one
or two directions and try to kind of be heavy
handed with them or just let them have a good time,
and you know there's always going to be one or
two kind of you know, little monkeys. But other than that,
it was good.

Speaker 3 (01:59:29):
How much was a round of drinks?

Speaker 26 (01:59:32):
Ah, I'm not too sure. I was in a corporate box.

Speaker 3 (01:59:34):
Oh, cheapest. Okay, thanks, Kevin, say you can't take into
a concert when you're in a corporate box. Can you
take that? That's the SPA anyway, keep it going for
a talk eight hundred and eighty today Thomas, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:59:47):
Yeah, Hi Marcus, how I spoke to you before. We've
running cats in general and terrible cats. Yes, one solution
is already up north. They're not They had to be microship,
but not only debt registered with the console, so the
issue can be so between federal cat and somebody's a cat,

(02:00:10):
so that problem can be solved. Marcus. Yeah, of course
it's a predator. And you know they even kill our
ARTI Peral Tears, which is only a six thousand of
them left. The problem is, uh, SPCI. They you know,

(02:00:33):
I'm not against them. They're doing a great job. But
the education from them should start from kids when they're
in the kindergarten five years old to how to deal
with cats and dogs and things like that generally. And
also you know the public is not dissecting dogs and cats,

(02:00:54):
and that's why six thousand dogs been put down alone
in Oakland and the SPCI the saves in summer every
day fred the kittens because people are cruel. They take
brand new bond kittens and they take them to a
specie and they just leave the other and they have
more kittens. You know, it's it's it's not the greatest.

(02:01:15):
And instead of also going to a specii or people
who have centers for cats like you know cats, because
open a car door and you know, little kitt and
dump them in the bush and stuff. They can't distinguish
what is that, what is authentile? And they live insects
first and then they become you know, really good predators.

(02:01:37):
And that's the problem, you know, having animals. It's the
time what you put into them. I'm not an expert
on it, you know, I'm I think I've a good owner,
but I can do are better. And the problem is
so you know how I said, I've got some exotic
cats and you can't breed them forever. You cannot breed

(02:01:59):
them through maybe the females to six seven years old,
but then they will live for fifteen years and just
got to look after them. And can you know the food,
the dead bill you know of course insurance and stuff
like that and everything through the debt. It's not subsidized
like our medicine. Nothing is subsidized.

Speaker 3 (02:02:21):
So what do you think the advantage what would be
the advantage of compulsory micro shipping.

Speaker 7 (02:02:26):
Computing, microshipping, and.

Speaker 15 (02:02:30):
Registration.

Speaker 7 (02:02:31):
There is no you know argumented somebody shot a federal
cat and it's somebody's cat.

Speaker 3 (02:02:38):
I mean, yeah, good point. Yeah, I can understand.

Speaker 7 (02:02:41):
They get they get if they are getting trapped and
humanely killed, they can you can run as Kenner and
see if the cat is microship or not.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
Yeah, yeah, that makes perfect sense to be Thomas. Do
you Thanks for making that point. I do appreciate that.
Twenty past to eleven. If you want to talk on
eight Marcus, if I wonder, if I wonder if I
could climb aboard one of the cruise ships coming into
port arms and get over cooked straight? Why wait, I
don't understand that text. A bit more thought into the texts,

(02:03:16):
mind you. Sometimes my texts are no good when I've
got to read them after I've sent them. But yeah,
that's just what I'm working on. But yeah, Marcus, the
weather forecast was saying rain in the afternoon. Auclard didn't happen,
but it's pouring now. It's just the concept, but people
are getting wet walking home. Jay. Thanks Jay, it might

(02:03:37):
be reigning in christ your chafter Cliff Richard singular Oh cats,
I'll tell you what the trouble is cats is they're
so badly named. Will there be a time when you're
in where we don't keep cats as pets? Probably? How
long will that be? What it'll be gradual? I would think.
Got some free good emails from people who are the

(02:03:57):
owners of dogs, the greyhounds, but yeah, they've managed to
get rid of those. It seems it seems there's going
to be no more action with that one. I don't
say that's a topic because I'll get overwhelmed with a
discussion on the dogs. But still, now get in touch
if you want to be on air. I'm trying to
think there's the other topics for you. Just home from

(02:04:18):
an incredible Cliff Richard concert in christ Church. Hard to
explain how magnificent and youthful his voice sounded. People love me.
I've never really worked out the attraction of Cliff Richard,
but that's just me. And isn't it great that we
have a variety of different tastes. But everyone that goes

(02:04:41):
to him always say how young he sounds and how
great his voices. Why would that be?

Speaker 2 (02:04:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:04:52):
You must have some incredible lozenges. Yeah, hard to explain
how magnificent and youthful his voice sounded. So there's that
I saw. There was the shot of him having a
drink with Priscilla Presley. I don't know if did Cliff
Richard and Elvis if a duwet on anything. I don't

(02:05:14):
know how close their association was. Hard to know these days.
Is it so long that he's gone, so long since
he's been gone, Yeah, and no one's wrung me to
tell me what Priscilla's event was like. I think Richard
was seeing Cliff Richards some more Elvis as an inspiration

(02:05:39):
and tried to emulate his sound, but they never met.
Cliff Richard attempted to meet Elvis in person twice, but
failed on both occasions. The first time, like fifties, Elvis
was stationed bad Notingham and Germany for his military service.
Richard visited the house, but Elvis was not in the
second chance came in seventy six, but Richard declined the
meaning because Elvis had put on Wait Richard, did I

(02:06:00):
want to tarnish his image of the King in his prime. Well, gosh,
that sounds like a petty way not to go and
see them anyway. They did a duet posthumously here, haven't
we all? Twenty six past eleven? If you want to
be part of it. Mark's had a young tortoise shell
cat come into my house over a wondering Tony made
herself at home. She has never taughted herself inside. She's

(02:06:22):
really clean, she seems on my bed, has become my
best mate. She sits on my lap while watch TV.
Best cat I've ever had. I think what happens with cats?
They just go for a better home if you feed
them better. They're just always looking. They're always trying to upsell.
They're always looking for a better offer. So if you've
lost a cat, it seems to me, it seems to

(02:06:44):
me you've lost that cat because one of the neighbors
is prepared to put more effort into looking after it.

that ship. They got ten potato piers, none stopped coming
on these machines, and how they do the cakes, and
how they do this and they and how they entertained

Everyone in the good mood, enjoying the sound. What I
will say is the girl next to me never stopped filming.
She was short and the guy in front was tall.
Stretch your arms up the whole time. Why so crazy
that people can't enjoy show these days without filming it.
