Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be Ironically, after four hours last night talking about roundabouts,
I drove home through a roundabout and was very poor
and indicating through it. I mean it was midnight, but
still I felt slightly queasy and slightly guilty. How could
you talk for four hours about roundabouts and be so
righteous with your knowledge and then kind of just once

(00:34):
you come to it be all kind of children relaxed
through it. So I apologize. I'll vow to do better. Greetings, welcome.
My name is Marcus Hittle twelve. I hope your day's
gone well. I hope you managed to stay away from
the news websites because gee, a lot going on. It's
all a little bit don't know how you're feeling that

(00:56):
to any what I'm feeling anyway, here till twelve o'clock tonight.
It'll be a multi headed beast tonight. Anything but roundabouts. Well,
I've got an email about roundabouts, A lot of emails
about roundabouts, including someone that says, Marcus, roundabouts. The area

(01:17):
we live in near quite a few vehicle repair garages.
They've very frequently rod test vehicles, including you tunes in
the roundabout. This is confusing when they go back the
way they came from. What signals?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh, phlip. That's a good question here I'm saying. I'm
not going to talk about roundabouts. So if you're going
to a roundabout and coming out, you're going in at
one o'clock and coming out at one o'clock. If you're
going in at twelve o'clock, come out at tweve o'clock,
I reckon you flip. I'd go, and this is just me.
Drive towards the roundabout and indicate right.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I go past the first intersection, past the second, off
past the third, then indicate the left. I think that'd
be the way to do. It's a very good question,
but you aren't going to answer that. That's good. Is
there any special rules? It's not in the road code.
It's legal, particularly people coming off at bomb Bay and

(02:15):
going to the roundabout at Collision Crossroads to get alienated
the right way rather than going across the traffic on
Mill Road. You know what I'm saying. It's quite a
common thing, the old round about U turn. Is there
a name for it? Can we think of a name
for it? It won't be roundabouts all night. Although I
think we're starting on roundabouts. I can sense it. If
you're doing a U tune, how are you indicating? I

(02:39):
don't be afraid to stick your hand out of the
window either. I reckon always enjoyed that getting touched by
name's Marcus Hittled twelve. So here's what something that's happening
in Australia. Two things. Is all this fuss now for
the cyclone that's about to hit. They've cleared out all
the shelves of the supermarkets. That's what I'm reading. It's

(03:03):
two days away. Gosh, there's slow moving, aren't they. The
big waves have started, but it's two days ago before
it hits. It could be Thursday or Friday. The other
thing I'm reading about right in Australia, they're extremely excited
because they're about to get their first pandom art. In fact,

(03:25):
they've got it opened in Australia on the weekend in
Cranbourne and Melbourne. There are a thousand people waiting for
the store to open and the retailer was forced to
shut it stores early on the first day of opening
and ramping again the following morning. Now this is the kicker.

(03:47):
What is pandomart and why are people so obsessed with it.
Pandom art is basically an install version of Temu. Fridget's
going to get me there. But guess what's also more interesting.
There's two already in New Zealand. One is in the
packet an a plaza. I had no idea, and the other,

(04:11):
bless your is in Chrost Church. So some of you
might have experienced pandomart. I'd like to hear from you.
One opening Chrost Church last September fifty three thousand types
of homer ride in, including beauty and health products, home decoors,
tech electronics, and educational toy for kids. Now, some of

(04:32):
you people are obsessed with Temu, but one in a
way trip you think it's important to get out of
the house, to get away from the clutter, and all
those unopen boxes go to pandom art. I mean none
of it will be particularly ethical from a transported point
of view, or anything would be good about it, but gee,
you people love to shop pandom art. Had no idea.

(04:58):
It was a thing. We don't see Kmart or the
warehouse's competitors. They've been here for years. Out of vrtage
lies in our pricing for the same quality way, aiming
to be thirty percent cheaper. Found twenty ten and based
in South Africa, the family owned business now operates a

(05:19):
one hundred stores worldwide. Panda there you go. Didn't even
know it was a thing. Gosh, I was excited as
and you plumbing to get to uncle bills. If I
know one, there's a pandom art that would have changed
my holy completely. So if anyone can tell me a
report about pandom art what they bought, Marcus, I would

(05:39):
call that a return about. Of course, it's a return
about a roundabout when you're doing it or are you
turn about but yet indicate, wouldn't you? I'd just put
my hand down and just punk poke my thumb backwards
and go like heading backwards. My name is Ceryl Cheryl Stretch.

(06:00):
I'd love your theme song. What's it called? This is
about stop? I'm going to stop sign for cyclelane. We
stop and let the cyclists go through. There's a foot
path close to the stop sign that madestras. It's being
to stop for them, and it's not a blaster in crossing.
Marcus sure one hundred percent correct on the twelve twelve.
And it drives me nuts when people would rather turn

(06:22):
around turn across the road than just go around the
round about ten meters away. People love people using a
roundabout for a U turn. Well, it's legitimate, isn't it.
It's much better than the U turn. I've done some
bad you tunes in my time when I've misjudged the distance.
There's nothing worse than a U turn that you fail

(06:43):
to execute. Then you gotta start reversing and traffic. I'm
not a bad driver, by the way, but I'm okay
about talking about it. I am comfortable with myself to say, yeah,
i might be the best driver in the world, but
I'm not the worst driver. But if it some of
them makes some of you better, maybe I exaggerate the

(07:04):
badness of it. Barbara Marcus, Welcome, I'm Marcus.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
How are you good? Good? I'm talking about pander Mark.
My daughter lives in Auckland and she has brought me
some most beautiful gifts from Pando Mark. They are so cheap, Yes, yeah,
absolutely beautiful. One with a steampunk clock.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Don't get me started on steampunk. That stuff drives me crazy.
That's well, you know those people that turn up at
parades and sort of suits with funny hats with goggles
on them, Like, what's the point? But it's just me.
I know people love it, but it's not for me.
But anyway, you go steam you got steampunk teapot? Did
you say?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
No?

Speaker 5 (07:50):
A clock? A clock and a most beautiful picture, all
with sparkles all over. It is absolutely beautiful, and I
think there's a lot cross about forty dollars.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
She well, she knows your mark and she knows you,
doesn't she divide two things that you loved so much.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I wish they'd come to Wellington.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Why aren't they there?

Speaker 5 (08:11):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
You could move to Auckland, you could move to Pakaraga.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I wish I could.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, well it's all there and the clock is like
one with hands.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yes, it's absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Have they got a website?

Speaker 5 (08:29):
I'm not sure? But the clock cost about nineteen.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Dollars Jay sounds reasonable, doesn't it It is?

Speaker 5 (08:37):
And I've got a little studio shed out the back
and I've got it in there and it looks lovely.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'm start to think what you do in your studio
at the back? Would you needle work or knitting or.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Stipboarding or I do diamond that what diamond What have
you ever heard of it?

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Clearly not No, it's.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
You can buy pick and they've got a heater on
them and it's like paint by numbers, but you have
little dots that you put on the numbers.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
And then I framed them all.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yes, and you've got a special shed for that.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
I have. My husband bought me a beautiful studio shed.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
How are you applying the dots?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
They've you've got a little pen that you press into
the sort of a heat of stuff and then it's
sticky under the cellophone and you just it's like you've
got numbers and the colors and all the rest you found.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
You think, how long ago did this become a thing?

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Oh about three four years ago?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh yeah, it got You're up with the times, aren't you,
oh say.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Well on my eighties?

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
And so you've got your you've got your steampunk clock
in there, your picture.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yes, I've got the picture on a beautiful big eagel. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Gosh, you'rey positive, aren't you. I like that about you? Okay, Barbara,
thanks very much for that.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
It's something else I already to talk about diamond art.
So new paint by numbers. I'd like Barbara to cut
loose from the actual designs and do some of our
own stuff. But I guess there's still time pandomatic and
also too. I don't want to chuck topics at you,
but I don't know what's going to get the nation
going tonight. I'm also quite keen to talk about here

(10:42):
we go, here we go, congestion charging? Who wants to
say something about that? Are people in favor of this?
So when you go through a road you pay to
use it, Like at eight in the morning, if you're

(11:03):
on the motorway, the motorway Auckland's motorway, you pay like
five bucks. It'd be good for you if you're working
odd hours. It'd be good for if you've got a
ton of dosh and you want the motorways to be emptier.
I know you guys like talking about Rhodes, but congestion
charging is that something someone wants to mention? And pandomart

(11:28):
I like because it sounds like I about to say
pandemodium or pandemodium, pandemonium, pandemodium. I forgot what that word
is now, haven't I get in touch? Pandemonium? Oh way
E one hundred and eighty text congestion charging and pandomart
not pandemonium. It's like TIMU but all there. And there's

(11:58):
one opening in Melbourne and there's two and I don't
even know there were a thing the change. It's like
the warehouse or Camar, but cheap and obviously probably poorer quality.

Speaker 8 (12:10):
Hello Brend, Yeah I knowing that. Yeah, I live in Auckland,
so I've been to pandomartin Pacernger. It's it's okay, but man,
it's like a giant two dollar shop and it smells
like it too.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Don't they smell? Don't they smell strange? You wouldn't want
to wear the clothes straight away, would you?

Speaker 9 (12:33):
No?

Speaker 8 (12:33):
No, we always give it a good rinse. But we
only bought an order in cam which lasted about three
weeks and broke. Now, I mean to be honest, I
didn't really think it was that cheap. Like I've just
had a I don't do it very often. I've just
had a team order arrive only because Team Who's kind
of exciting, you know, and it's here in ten days anyway.
And I couldn't buy a side stand for my bike anywhere,

(12:57):
but you know, Team Who's got a selection of about
ten side stands, and when it's arrived, I think it's
actually the same as what was a on the bike?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is it knee bike?

Speaker 8 (13:10):
Yep, yeah, so yeah, it's just one of those things
you got and need to buy a side stand and
they go, oh, we don't actually sell the original ones,
but there's an aftermarket one here. It's very good. And
then you put it on and it doesn't It stands
up too upright and you can't shorten it.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
So I am I'm going to ask you a question
because I'm not a knee bike rider, but I'm a
great cyclist and whenever any bikes I've got, I never
have a bike stand on them because I don't like
the noise they make and I don't find the useful
and I'm always find I've never had a problem finding
somewhere to park a bike. But e bikes, You've probably
got to be more careful with them, do you.

Speaker 8 (13:47):
Yeah, they're a bit they're a bit heavyer, so yeah,
and you make sure that the stands sort of properly.
We always chain our two together to make sure no
one steals them. But yeah, you do a team. It
will sold a toy for the kids and the side
stand all the rest of it, and you and hold
of other crapping. It arrives straight away and fifty dollars

(14:08):
in the sides down I just bought. Likely that doesn't
fit fifty eight dollars.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Is the pandom chaotic or is it quite tidy?

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Oh, it's quite tidy, and it's packering. A plaza is
almost toast. All of the shops are gone. This is
the last Standard's like something in the out in the
countryside in the USA, you know, like it's just there.
There's there's not a lot of people there, but but
pandom art seems to be attracting it. The other thing
you mentioned those those roundabouts. Of course, we grew up

(14:39):
with the Pamea roundabout, which was well one of the biggest.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Things, one of the greats, one.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
Of the great one of the great ones, you know,
and it's gone now it's sort of replaced by the
world's most complicated traffic lads and lanes set up because
of the buses and things. I mean, it works all right, but.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Well they had that, they had that train there. I
think that was quite important because it's of undergrounded, but isn't.

Speaker 8 (15:01):
It Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's.

Speaker 10 (15:07):
So.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah, the whole the whole area got redeveloped. That was
part of it. But I do actually liked the roundabout
on the on the open road, and I think it's
probably stopped a lot of very bad accidents, you know
where roads and descent.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I never felt that. I never felt that comfortable the
Pemi roundabout. I always was surprised when I came through
it successfully. Well.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
I think I think every roundabout, every big roundabout, should
just have a speed limit of thirty kilometers an hour
as long as and and then there's never any problems.
It's people coming in fast that they're really worry.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I always get that terrible feeling with the roundabout. I think, gee,
actually I'm going forward now. But have I actually have
I timed this a bit wrong?

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (15:51):
Yeah, yeah yeah. Merch like a broken.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Zip broken ziprint. I like you. Thank you. Twenty three
past eight, Marcus. They used Diamond Art for as m
TikTok video is What does it ever mean? What is
an asm TikTok? Marcus? I went to Pandomart and christ
it's full of stuff you don't need but cheap. I
brought five roller ballpins for thirty cents each still on

(16:17):
the first pen best one dollar fifty I've ever spent.
People loving the pandom art. It's always excited that we're
geting something before Australia and they're ecstatic about it. Bobbitt's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Yeah, I'm just warning them people, you know, going the
shops and buyings and don't curry them. Was a U
Zeland post.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
Whatever you do.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
I had a cart today and I wanted to send
it to my grandson from the guitar. Yeah, from Blenham
to Parmister North. I just wanted Victoria, no, no hurry,
no rush, just when they could. Seventy eight dollars ridiculous. Yeah,
I've got the staff and nothing. Seventy eight dollars and
that was from Blenham to Palmerston North.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
How much do you think would be a fair price?
Thirty eight?

Speaker 4 (17:10):
I would have paid thirty I would have been quite happy.
I wouldn't have worried me. I mean she said, I
it's over and meet along and I said, and meeting.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Bloody long, I'm over a meat along.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah, And I mean the cat had very light some
of there's any weight.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
In it exactly. It's not like it's easily broken.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
No, so I yeah, I just thought i'd ring up
tonight because I was absolutely shocked when she said how
much it costs me?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Did you resolve it?

Speaker 5 (17:34):
No?

Speaker 8 (17:34):
I paid it.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
No you didn't.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
I did. Well. I wanted to get it up there
for a birthday coming up, and I mean I could have.
I could have got got a bus and gone up
and would have.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Been Yeah, with your gold card you probably could have.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (17:51):
So but anyway, I just sort of advice people.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Did you try and see what it would this is
in the post? Did you say?

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wasn't quite sure where the other
depots were, so I just took.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
It to tape A plus, how'd you wrap it?

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Oh? I had a big bag and like a surf
bag and that, and I wrapped it up and that
it was nicely wrapped and everything and taped and you know,
securely fasten than that. But the weight of the packaging
wouldn't have weighed much at all.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know what, Bob, I wish should rung up and said,
guess how much it costs to seend the guitar from
blend them to Parmas North Because I don't know, I
honestly don't know what I would have. I probably would
have said twenty four dollars, but I can't get it
now because now I know you see so it's not
a it's not an untainted guess.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Well, I'm actually sixty eight dollars to seeing it. And
it's not even on a on a rush carrier. It's
when they can type of arrangement. I just sort of
let people know if they buy all these stuff from
these probably second from not seeing hand placers, but these
demos and that I don't know how much a costant
to deliver it, but probably more than the items worth.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Ever we touch and go, whether it arrives or whether
they're when they dropped off, or whether it's damage.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh well, yeah, I mean the only good thing and
I gotta given them. But that's that's that's hardly the point.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Does he play?

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yes, Yes, is quite a good player, and he's just
got a junior and a smaller one, an updating one.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yes, your motivation sounds faultless, Bob.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Gosh.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I want to see the smile in his face he
gets the new guitar. Hopefully he won't know about the cost.
By the way to bracing for impact. Biggest fear about
cycling alpha and revealed as millions of Anchi's residents prepare
for carnage, all the souper bags are empty. You're seeing
pictures of it now. It looks like a giant dot
dart board. It's quite a big story this because I

(19:54):
don't really kind of kind of go that way. Queensland
does have worn They could be without power for three days.
It's on a collision course with the state's capital. Yeah,

(20:15):
make landfall between Noosa and Brisbane. S the Broncos playing
this weekend, aren't they? Carrigan's got a haircut one thirty
k wins get in touch with talking about pandomart. You

(20:36):
know what, sometimes you go to one of those shops,
a two dollars shop of three dollars. They've got stupid names,
like like like monkey Banana, don't they And you look
at that you think what's the point. You think back

(21:01):
to that shop on Walton's Mountain. We're by a pound
of bean and some candles. Kind of think what else
they'd sell Coora Beth And you think jeepest, creepers. How

(21:21):
would they feel if they went to pandomat and all
that stuff. I mean a lot of the stuff. It
looks good and it's amazing how it's cheap, Corabeth Gotzi.
But you wonder what prey tellers the point. That's why
people's garages. You go to people's garages, it's just fullest
boxes with stuff in it that they've brought a pandomat
or the one two three dollars shop. I don't know
what the psychology of it is, but it doesn't look

(21:44):
like it's forever stuff, does it? A lot of tinsel? Anyway?
I like those shops, the one two three dollar shop
or the Funky Bannada or whatever. They're good. I like
when they've got the board of people that have stolen stuff.
I think jeapest creepers. Look at those people, you think, wow,

(22:05):
goodness me. I don't really know what I think when
I see those boards, but jeepest creepers. We need to
aim a bit higher. It's hardly much. I mean, you're
you gonna get to court steel. You wouldn't want to
get caught sealing from one two three dollars ship. Wouldn't
seem like the rewards would be worth it. Speaking of stealing,

(22:25):
I see pack and Saveur in trouble once again for
Dodgy pricing. Often thought that things with different prices they've
been charged with misleading specials and inaccurate pricing. Always check

(22:46):
pack and save Silverdale, and pack and save Mill Street. Yep,
so there you go, and it's never so you end
up paying less. But we're talking about the pandom art
only because I'm enjoying same. And also congestion charging. Congestion

(23:12):
charging is he one in favor of that? I guess
people will because it frees up the roads. I guess
it's a better if you take public transport also, So
get in touch one him as Marcus. Welcome Hitill twelve
oh eight hundred and eighty Tenadian nine two nine two

(23:33):
to text, looking forward to what you've got to say.
It's the free for all, It's the Tuesday free for all.
I can't even say that I've actually even bought anything
from a two dollars shop. When that sounds a bit
I said a a pious don't I don't probably think

(23:55):
I have actually bought anything. Well, I'm not one to
go to a fancy dress party either. I don't people
go to a fancy dress part of the end that
buying a lot of stuff, not me? Why not?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I couldn't be with the organization for a friend to
any say, a very good outfit depends on what the
theme is, like Peter, and to Marcus, welcome and good evening, Peter, Peter. Yeah, Marcus,

(24:43):
you're on about congestion charging yep, good or bad?

Speaker 12 (24:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (24:49):
Yeah, because yes are great great. Hey listen, I love
up the walk words and I hate cause over the
last couple of days agoing to walk on firstly to
the airport, well, it took took me three hours to
go to the airport. This was like my left home
at seven w and went back to my office. So
that took three hours.

Speaker 14 (25:09):
And this morning I'm going to a conference in Auckland
Central and it.

Speaker 15 (25:13):
Took me two hours.

Speaker 16 (25:14):
And it's just ridiculous.

Speaker 14 (25:15):
It's such a bloody waste of time.

Speaker 10 (25:18):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (25:18):
So there's just so many cars on the road. I
probably go to Auckland, say it's two or three times
a week, but I've never known as much traffic, honestly
as the last couple of days. I don't know why
that is.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Why did you why did you go? Why did you
go in so early?

Speaker 14 (25:36):
Well, well, I had to drop I had to drop
a friend off at the airport. So I was fixed,
so I could. I didn't have a choice.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So this is where'd you say? Did you say walk
with Yeah?

Speaker 14 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, I live at tense But you're just out of.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Why did you go highway? Why did you go sixteen?

Speaker 13 (25:50):
No?

Speaker 14 (25:51):
No, no, stayed that way one straight? Ye say six things?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Word?

Speaker 14 (25:55):
Yeah, you know you just spend I probably spent I
don't know, an hour each day where you're traveling at
about ten to twenty k's and you know it's just
such a hole in your day and you end up
getting frustrated and there's just too many cars on the road.
So hey, hey, look, I give a big sums up.

(26:16):
The congestion tax organ is a good thing.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Do you think you're living in the wrong place.

Speaker 14 (26:22):
No, I live in paradise up here. It's a great way.
But now and then I have to go to the city.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
There's no choice.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I think first half of March Junie's back, so it's
a bit shaky for a while as they kind of
settle into it.

Speaker 14 (26:34):
Yeah, there could be a factor.

Speaker 12 (26:36):
Yeah, you're true.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, nice to hear from your Peter. I love the
old sense. But Bradley Marcus welcome. Hello, how are you good, Brady?
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
So I'm here to talk about the congestion in Auckland
around the motorways, et cetera. Night in two and four.
I lived in Singapore and they'd already solved the problem
in two thousand and four. And obviously there's a system
around the world that can solve these congestion problems. But
you're not going to solve the problem if you haven't

(27:08):
got somewhere else for the people to go that can't
drive their cards through the city. And until Auckland has
a public transport system that works well, then they're never
going to make the congestion system work because there's nowhere
for anybody to go in terms of public transport. I mean,
if you take them off the roads, what are they

(27:29):
going to do. We don't have a public transport system
that works, honestly, we do not. Singapore, for example, where
I lived, their system worked because they had public transport
that worked. So you had this credit card on your
screen Wednesday. If you wanted to drive in the city,
the docu a certain amount of money, so you tossed

(27:49):
up whether you paid the money to go inside the city.
Because there was scanners that would control the flow of
traffic just by the dollar value for people willing to pay.
But then you had a good transports, public transport system
that worked immaculately. But do we have that in Auckland.
I've caught public transports and sometimes the buses don't even

(28:10):
tune up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
What I would say about public transport and the big
cities in New Zealand is it not only don't we
don't have public transport, but I don't think we have
a government that's committed to public transport. So that's the problem,
because you need to have bipartisan support. I mean, even buses.
We hate buses, but even Sydney managed to get some
sort of thing where a bus is guaranteed every three

(28:36):
minutes or something like that. Even buses can provide a
good system, but there's no desire.

Speaker 10 (28:45):
Yes, so let's they suggest a system to take people off. Noways,
how are they going to get round?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, it's a very good point you make, and maybe
that means they might be There might suddenly been a
will driven by local council for more effective buses or
public transport. Of course too, the raw loop will come
on and that will have benefits. It won't solve everything.

Speaker 10 (29:11):
Absolutely right. And also if you look at the dollar
value they put on reducing this congestions, they should take
that dollar value and put it into public transform.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Of course they should should go straight. They're really nice
to hear from you. Oh wait, we are talking congestion
charges to stop orkaner is wasting seventeen hours and traffic
each year. Must be each week? Surely it must be

(29:42):
each week. Anyway, get in touch about that.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Note.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Mark's good evening, Welcome.

Speaker 17 (29:49):
Hey, how are you doing good?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 10 (29:50):
Nate.

Speaker 17 (29:52):
Hey, I'm calling up about the congestion.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (29:55):
I haven't looked into too much about how it operative
a seas I haven't seen any other research from that.
But I'm just real curious as to what your thoughts
would be, yes to how this might affect some of
like our people that have a little bit less of
an income, Like like, for example, I'm a unique student,
and so I've had my fair share of both public
transport and driving into town. I'm also from South Oakland,

(30:15):
and so I see some of our people that are
a little bit lower on the socio economic scale that
have to drive to work, that take some of these
busier roads, and so I'm wondering if if the outcome
would just be that the people on the roads end
up being people with money and it kind of gate
keeps the roads against some of our poorer families.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
It seems very valid concerned. It seems vally concerned to me, NTE,
because not everyone's got that. I guess some students have
some flexibility when they travel.

Speaker 17 (30:41):
Would that be right, Yeah, for sure. But I think
the caller before me had had a good point is
that like when when I take the public transport and
then peak hours, like those things are packed out. It's
tough to get a spot on the bus without standing yep,
It's tough to get us spot on the train, let
alone the bus.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
So and I think there would need to be there
would need to be a huge commitment to improving public transport.
And for that there's all sorts of things, And it
even start with getting a lot more buses and a
lot more drivers, because I mean, I think we saw
after COVID that no, they weren't getting paid much, no
one wanted to do it, and they were hugely shortest drivers.

(31:20):
But sometimes when buses work, like on the Northern Expressway
to Albany, it seems to be quite quite a good system.

Speaker 17 (31:29):
Yeah, I think they're not sure. People have it pretty
all right. Yeah, from what I've seen, they have x
one running every every five minutes or so, so so
to have it pretty all right and would.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Try what's wrong with trains? Is it just not flexible
enough for you?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (31:46):
Well, hey, they they don't come as often as I
would like, and when they do come during the peak times,
they get like people are standing all the way down
the aisles. It's tough to get a spot on them sometimes.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I think.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I think the whole point of the Central rail Loop
as well has been an underground railway thing. It just
means a lot more trains can go a lot more often,
so I imagine the frequency will probably double. So hopefully, hopefully,
you know, I don't know if this guy Wayne Brown's
any good, but hopefully, well, you know, because he's one
of those guys that likes to blow his own trumpet.

(32:19):
But hopefully he knows enough about the frequency of trains
to realize that that could take up a lot of
the slack for those people that won't be on the roads.
Then that would be my hope for that true, because
they must have done modeling for how many people can
go to the city when the Central Rail up starts.
You'd hope, wouldn't you, Well, you hope, so you hope.

(32:41):
So yeah, are you studying at the moment? NTE?

Speaker 10 (32:46):
That's right?

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, how long you're spending each day traveling?

Speaker 17 (32:51):
If I'm driving in, then it'll be forty five minutes.
If I take the train it'll be ninety plus minutes.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
And forty five sounds realistic. What's the parking was always
a hassle? How do you manage that?

Speaker 17 (33:03):
I've found my spots over the years where I haven't
had to pay you as much and I just take
the ticket when it comes, which is infrequently, but.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
So so you you actually don't pay and just play.

Speaker 14 (33:16):
Pay car park in previous years.

Speaker 17 (33:18):
In previous years, that's what I've done. I think they've
gotten a little bit stricter now, so I've had to
switch back to the public transport.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, well okay, Hey, when I was parking before.

Speaker 17 (33:29):
The prices of the tickets when I get them as
and frequently would work out to less than paper parking.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yes, Oh that's that. Yeah, that's I'm sure, that's I'm
sure that's a really smart tactic. But would you be
would you be waiting for hours for your special park
to become available?

Speaker 5 (33:47):
No?

Speaker 17 (33:47):
Not if I'm coming in around nine? They were usually
free by abandon maybe, and more at ten eleven than
they'd be thought up.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Nate, Peter Marcus, Peter Marcus,
Peter Marcus.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Welcome?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Has that radio again? Peter?

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Not God?

Speaker 11 (34:05):
Okay, nice to hear you.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Know.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
How are you going Peter here?

Speaker 11 (34:13):
I'm fantastic you Are you gotta follow?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Are you good at following instructions?

Speaker 11 (34:19):
Ah? Reasonable? I've heard you talking to someone before and
you said to them, where are you calling from? Well,
I'm going to put my phone out the window and
I'm gonna ask you. Can you guess where I'm calling from?

Speaker 8 (34:34):
I'm north of christ Church.

Speaker 11 (34:36):
It's high tide.

Speaker 8 (34:39):
Can you hear well?

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Unfortunately, there's a lot of noise catching with cell phones
that gets rid of the background noise.

Speaker 11 (34:45):
Can you hear anything?

Speaker 5 (34:47):
No?

Speaker 11 (34:48):
Oh, I'm sorry, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Are you you're not in the Milford Sounds.

Speaker 12 (34:55):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (34:56):
No?

Speaker 11 (34:57):
No, I'm not north of christ Church.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
I mean not in Marlborough Sounds.

Speaker 11 (35:00):
No, No, no, no, just north of Christ that was
a wave crashing.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Are you what end or ki or north of that?

Speaker 11 (35:12):
Mate? I'm actually at Amble Beach.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I was going to say, Ambly Beach.

Speaker 8 (35:17):
Ambly Beach.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Anyway, what are you doing at the beach, Pete.

Speaker 11 (35:22):
I'm relaxing listening to you, and I'm hoping my son's
not listening because he's going to go, Dad, what the
are you on about? But anyway, I'm going to talk
about Pandomrt. I went there today great and I was
looking for something in particular which they didn't have. However,

(35:46):
I did leave with a spanner twenty two milimeters spanner
which I've misplaced one somewhere. Can you have a guess
what it costs me?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Oh, this is a great thing. I love you so much.
I want to, bet, I want to.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
I love you too.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
I want to.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
I want to visualize a twenty two meters spener saying
never look at it.

Speaker 11 (36:09):
Twenty two milimeters spanner.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's not it's not an adjustable one, is it.

Speaker 11 (36:14):
No, that's what they call a combination spanner. So it's
an open end one.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
It's got to socke end at the other Yeah, a
ring at the other end. I'd I'd say twenty four
dollars five dollars a Doug go broke really.

Speaker 11 (36:30):
Yep, and they've got like a guisillion of them.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yep, as you're paying. You're paying twenty eight bucks at
ripco for one.

Speaker 11 (36:39):
Oh, absolutely, I'm sure you would.

Speaker 10 (36:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (36:42):
And and for what I'm using it for.

Speaker 8 (36:45):
It's all I need and.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
For a guess, wonder or something.

Speaker 11 (36:52):
No, it doesn't matter what it's for.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
But hang on, why would you be suspicious about what
your spenders for? Greetings and welcome, I'm worried. I'm not worried.
I'm wondering about Pete So Peter the bee each an
family beach rings up and says, I hope my son's
not listening. And there's how he's been to pandom mart
and bought himself a crescent a tweet him in a

(37:23):
crescent spaner, what's going on there? What would you be
doing with the span? And he doesn't want a son
to know about You're not on the nangs or something?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Is he?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (37:35):
You?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Reckon? Can't work that one out for love nor money.
We're talking about congestion charging in the pandom art. When
do you think were to see the end of all
those three dollar shops. When are people gonna have enough
stuff like that?

Speaker 3 (37:53):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (37:54):
You know a lot of the problems. Secret centers probably
let some cruise about five months afterwards. They make so
much dough from that. Get in touched by names. Marcus
Hddle twelve to the pandoma. Have you been to the pandama?
How good is it? And what do you think Peak
wants the span of for? What would he want the

(38:17):
span of for that? He wouldn't want his son to know?
What would a father hide from his son to do
with a spanner? Is he going to steal his son's mags?

(38:43):
Someone says, I don't know why the traveling public during
the peaks would expect a seat. Well, sure you expect
a seat. It's how transport works. It's supposed to treat
you like you are a civilized person. Marcus. The person

(39:08):
who commented on congestion on the road from walkw With
to airport was adding to the problem. What was he
supposed to do? He should have got the person who
was picking up for the airport to get the airporter.
Why would you go to the CBD no parking violence? Uh,

(39:32):
you might be going to university I think the violence
is only in the middle of the night, isn't it, Marcus.
I wouldn't want to be a bus driver these days.
Seems they just get out in some unsafe situation based
on the news. What can be done to make it safer?

(40:02):
Marcus bloody to write public transport is unreliable and expense
to an adequate incentive to utilize it. Would you still
watch the chase of Bradley Walsh left? Probably one of
the greatest questions that's been positive to talk back. I've
got quite strong views about that. If Bradley Walsh left

(40:27):
the chase, I don't think i'd watch it, particularly if
they got that being shepherd guy Old Hensy from Tipping Point.
Don't like him at all, always touching the contestants. Bruce

(40:51):
force tythe he's gone and he did No, I don't think.
I can't think anyone that could replace Bradley and this
it was Jimmy Carr, it'd be good. Some of the

(41:11):
guys from the one where you got to tell Fibbs.
Would I lie to you? Colleen? Marcus? Good evening?

Speaker 18 (41:22):
Oh hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Colleen?

Speaker 10 (41:25):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Sorry?

Speaker 18 (41:28):
I was just wondering. I think I spoke to your
lovely producer whoever the cyclone that's coming around Australia down
the coast, and I heard I think I did think
that it's going to hit Coughs Harbor. Would you know
anything about that?

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Have you got family there?

Speaker 4 (41:50):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (41:50):
Yes, I have identical twins. One is on the you know,
the Sunshine Coast, the others in cough Do.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Your twins.

Speaker 12 (42:01):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Oh, oh, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Have you spoke? Have you spoken to them?

Speaker 18 (42:11):
I've seen messages can't get through to one and to
get through to the other. And I also have a
beautiful daughter and another son.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
But he'd be mother, Hey, look what he's what I'd
say to you, Colleen. And I know they've got plenty
of warning. They're adults. It's a civilized Western society, so

(42:42):
I will have had these things before. It'll just be
a lot of brain I would think.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
It's one of.

Speaker 18 (42:48):
Those once in a oh, I don't know how many
years years.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
I can hear that in your voice? Is everyone there?
Have you got all your your two sons and your
other son and your daughter all in Australia.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (43:07):
No, I've got my beautiful daughter and fastball and son
up in the north there and the twins in Australia,
the north in.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
The north of New Zealand. Yes, okay, so have you
spoken to one of the twins.

Speaker 18 (43:24):
I can't get through. I just can't be through.

Speaker 7 (43:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (43:28):
I'm sure they'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
You know, well it's still two days away.

Speaker 19 (43:35):
Yes, yes, I know, I know.

Speaker 18 (43:37):
Sorry, Mark, As I said to your lovely producer, I'm
usually a calm person.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
No, I know what a tect me.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Oh god, are you on the Are they on the
are they on email?

Speaker 7 (43:53):
I'm sure they're.

Speaker 18 (43:56):
Well, they're young, so they know about technology where I
but I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
I'm sure they'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
But how how will have you do you? How do
you normally talk to them? Do you text? Or what
do you normally do?

Speaker 18 (44:08):
Yes, either ring or text. But at this time it
just can't be true.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
But you think that you think they would have texted back?

Speaker 6 (44:16):
Yeah, if they could.

Speaker 18 (44:19):
It's not them, it's me.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I just picked yeah, but if offered littally, if in
the eye of the storm, but just as business as usual.
I'll just be carrying on in that Aussie way. But
the next stay close, Joyce, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
Oh, Marcus is luthier pattern.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
It's hi choice.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
So you were asking about why my husband would not
want my son to know about the tool he bought it. Yes, yes,
so my husband is a specialist in power stearing and
his son would be so embarrassed to know that his

(45:01):
father bought cheap tool.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Oh but is that a good thing? Would the son
be excited that the son his father found a bargain?

Speaker 6 (45:10):
No, no, not at all.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
He'd been thinking about are we going to use something
that is not specialized for the work that.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
We it's gonna, I thought, chriscent, I thought spinners like
that were quite specialized, because it's not like they can
round off the bolts because they are a fixed size.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
No, And the problem is the conundrum is my husband
is Dutch, of course.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
And that's the Dutch zone. There isn't it just north
of christ Church. They're all there, aren't they exactly?

Speaker 3 (45:49):
When they want cheap?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Nice to hear from you. How come we always can
make fun of the Dutch, It seems fine, Well, the
Dutch make fun of themselves, don't they love the Dutch.
If you're not Dutch, you're not much? Is that what
they say? How those biscuits. You don't ever mention it.
Golda will a talkbacker right there in my book. I
did never want to mention Dutch biscuits because the next
two her, oh oh yeah, need one of those. I

(46:16):
love mentioning a Dutch biscuit. Dutch love mentioning a Dutch.
Then I go on to licorice. Oh you want one
of those? I can remember what the Dutch biscuits to go. Oh, specula,
you're a specular, specular, Well, go on, a stoop waffle.
Love talking about biscuits the Dutch. It's either a specula

(46:37):
or a stoop waffle. Always good on talkback the Dutch.
I'll tell you what they love talking about that boys singer.
Remember that boys singer that the Dutch had a whole
night on him. I forget, I've never heard of him
before we started talking about him. I can't remember his name. Now,

(47:02):
a whole talk bag about a young, very young Dutch singer.
Do you remember that the nineteen sixties or nineteen fifties,
Oh young, they go young, old, young, should should t?
I can't remember his name, Hinscher. I think his name

(47:22):
was Hincha. We're not a days they went on about
him anyway, Please know about that. That's nice. The wife
rang up too, for a husband's honor. I was worried
about the beach, talking about a spanner. It all came
bad the way I put it together. Mike has just

(47:44):
talked to grand sat on the Sunshine Coast. All beaches closed,
soop marks, out of food like COVID. But they are fine.
Maybe they need to talk to the twins Criike. It
was Hinda. He wore a jaunty hat bed weather here

(48:05):
in Aamau wind he free, windy and bluff tonight, very windy,
up up getting crawlies in the reservoir. That was good
with the old I'm always well, do you know what

(48:25):
it's like? What do you do with them? To eat them?
Using the old biscuits?

Speaker 12 (48:33):
For?

Speaker 2 (48:33):
What's it called chumming up the water Yep, it's a
bit of a bluff thing to go up to the
resies to get the crawleys. Anyway, I feel like we're
one big community. Sometimes we've got the Dutch north of
christ Church there with their cheap spinners, just doing some texting.

(49:00):
How are you going people? Is he leaving the chase bread?
Who would replace Bladly, Well, the Herald God have a
story and that couldn't they Alan Carr, No, he hasn't.
Ellen Carr's alright, but he hasn't quite got that relaxed

(49:22):
manner of Bradley. Who would be good at it? Oh
I'll tell you who wouldn't be bad? That the guy from.

Speaker 19 (49:36):
The guy from.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Don't tell Me task Masters? That told you that he's
quite good fun. Yeah, I'd begree he'd be good, someone
says Boris Johnson. Ricky Gervais or Alan Carr could host
The Chase. Yeah, I don't know if they could. I
totally agree about Brady Walsh leaving The Chase. Tried watching

(50:00):
the Aussie version, Absolute rubbish, Mark, because no one could
replace brad The show would die. He's always happy and smiling,
great fun and educational. Yes, he's one of these. And
you don't you know a lot of those people on TV.
They're lovely, but you know that in their real life
they're a total violent nut job. Right. A lot of
them you meet and think, oh, yeah, jeer wouldn't please.

(50:23):
I'm not sharing a house with them. You don't get
that vibe with Bradley. You get the idea to come
over from work with a bit of a skip and
a step and say, oh yeah, Marcus, a lot of
talking about that. Brady Walsh is the Chasers to Steve
Parron Sailors Sentry. Can't see either without either host Nate Marcus,

(50:47):
my wife and I will not be watching if Bradley left.
He makes it real. Marcus Pete's Sun may work for
a company that sells more expensive tools. That's pretty well,
that's pretty well. It's been a good guessing competition it Now,
why would he not want a son to know? Marcus,

(51:13):
I'm in contact with my grandson in Brisbane, yat they
are going to hunger down, but not worry it. HiT's Thursday. Yeah,
we a lot of Kiwi's there. What about the rugby league?
Who have we got this Thursday? We've got the Broncos playing,
haven't we? The Broncos under the old Kiwi coach could

(51:35):
be quite interesting. Twenty two pasts nine we're talking pandom art.
It's like a giant two dollars shop. They're opening on
a strat. It's called it's like Timu but in real life. Yeah,
imagine that. I don't bet it's not. You're just saying
this it's quite a big range. We will be doing

(51:57):
live coverage tomorrow and the next night, and we'll be
talking to people in Brisbane. Is it you Brisbane? It's
coming in now. Oh I'm on the roof.

Speaker 19 (52:11):
So yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
We'll have all the coverage of that probably Thursday. I
don't know if we'll get the backwash here. We might
get something anyway, keep those texts coming through. We're talking congestion,
charging and pandom art. And if Bradley Walsh leave the Chase, Marcus,

(52:35):
they could let Bradley's Sun do the Chase. I won't
watch it if Bradley goes. Gosh, listen to these people.
Someone says Michael mcintyreff Bradley left. I'll tell you what
if Michael McIntire host of the Chase, I would not
watch it for a second. There's something about his manner

(52:55):
that I find unpleasant to watch. I know people have
repetsionate about him, but he's not an easy watch for me. Marcus,
the young Dutch singer out Hunchy. There's people very big
on him and they're speakulers, speakulers. Next good evening, it's Marcus.

(53:17):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 17 (53:20):
I've got the replacement the perfect replacement for Bradley on
the chase and you'd never guess.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Who it is.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Is it someone that's English?

Speaker 17 (53:33):
Well, it's actually somebody in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Who would that be?

Speaker 17 (53:38):
Marcus slush?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Oh jeepers?

Speaker 19 (53:39):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (53:39):
Right?

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Well? I think for studies he is not leaving.

Speaker 17 (53:44):
Oh Marcus, you do really well? Now come on, Marcus,
now look you can imagine yourself there. Oh here comes Mary.
Mary's all the way from from Bristol. How are you tonight? Mary?

Speaker 8 (53:55):
All good?

Speaker 6 (53:56):
What do you do?

Speaker 8 (53:57):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Mary?

Speaker 17 (53:58):
Your workers are she's she's orderly in the hospital. A
lovely job there, Mary. Now I think if you because
you're good with people, Marcus, are you thinking of this?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
And what's the always say? What will you do with
the money?

Speaker 19 (54:09):
Mary?

Speaker 11 (54:11):
What are you planning to do with Mary?

Speaker 12 (54:13):
I'm going to New zeal And.

Speaker 17 (54:15):
Oh you're going to New Zealand.

Speaker 12 (54:16):
Look if you go to bluff Down, going a few.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Friends there, I mean you'd be the man.

Speaker 19 (54:22):
You'd be the man for this.

Speaker 17 (54:24):
But come on, Marcus, I think you should ascend an application.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I'll tell you what. And as I don't think there's
ever been a host that's been as beloved, not as
me as mex As Bradley.

Speaker 17 (54:41):
Oh, he's good that people at He's going.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
To sparkle in his eye. Never seems to have a
bad day. He's good. We leans forward on their desk,
you know, to keep the common touch. He's not too rigid,
he's not that touchy going.

Speaker 17 (54:54):
And when and when it's like the beast comes in
on the last second, just the last second, you know,
and this and he's like fifty thousand pounds. He's kind
of got a way of consoling the team.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Oh yeah, they and they they always they always go
away feeling that they've been listened to and they've been
kind of they've done well, even though they've just done
they've just done one stupid answer and thrown all away.

Speaker 17 (55:17):
Yeah, you know, and a lot of them, you know,
they just missed out on fifteen thousand pounds. Oh I
had a lovely day, you know, or you know, shake
their Oh I really enjoyed it. No, thanks very much.

Speaker 11 (55:28):
He lovely day.

Speaker 17 (55:29):
And really underneath it, they're thinking, ah, doesn't miss out
on fifteen thousand.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Because the interesting thing is they don't know each other
on the PET. I mean they're just meeting people there
so suddenly you've got quite complicated dynamics, haven't you, Because
people are trying to sort of there's quite a bit
more the team.

Speaker 17 (55:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I bittured this. Some good friendships that
come out of this, You know, they probably keep in
touch with them.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Keep get texture, email them to have to catch up sometime.

Speaker 17 (55:58):
Oh, how was your trip to Dubai? You have torn
the money?

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Oh you had a great time. What about you?

Speaker 17 (56:03):
How's your new kitchen?

Speaker 4 (56:04):
What's what's your new?

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (56:06):
I got one of those automatic copy maker things?

Speaker 7 (56:09):
You are you there?

Speaker 12 (56:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (56:12):
I reckon that.

Speaker 17 (56:12):
Look I still think Marcus lash I reckon you'd be
you'd be the man.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
I've excellent Georgian more th. You're gonna mention that's good
that you're doing that sort of free and free falling stuff. Wow,
well I thought Max was very good. Lovely rain here
in Auckland's put the crickets to be an early Thank
goodness Farmersn't that be glad? I'm sure for their stocks
and crops?

Speaker 10 (56:39):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Oh, Bradley annoys me fail. People have they pronounced one
word slightly wrong? No one mispronounces as many words as
he does regularly. Cheapest blankety blank is dreadful, though Alexander

(57:00):
Armstrong would be great, or Richard Osman, they both pointless
a quiz show. I never liked that woman that did
the weakest link. Marcus usual good show. Rumor has it
the brad Son will replace him when he retires. Cheers
and Marcus twenty two milimeters spanner is usually the world

(57:27):
as guest tag. That's what I thought. Engineering plumbing, heavy machinery, mechanical.
Let's delve into this gel we regards Dave get in touch,
Marcus still twelve pandom art We're onto. You do wonder
what point those shops served, don't you? Those shops that
full up every time in small towns where a shop

(57:50):
closers and they have a vape shop with thein a
one two three dollars shop, and they smell of toxic
plastic and that's pretty much all they are. We even
had one that opened and bluff for about six months.
Is called very well or something as dreadful shop. There's
nothing worth buying. There's a very brave thing, re ambitious

(58:14):
thing to open one them. Bluff. I couldn't tell you
what they sold, just knick knacks, nick and nax kind
of pegs and stuff, really, isn't it. I wish they'd
work out what to do with There's always boxes and
box of cardboard outside them, aren't they offen a one

(58:36):
who takes all that cardboy boxes and boxes of cardboard?
Who get in touch if you want to talk one
him as Marcus welcome, oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine to nine tow to text if you

(58:58):
do want to be a part of the show. Congestion
charges and the Pandoma like Timu in real life. I
think we are in the age where people do enjoy
a hype from a new retailerate they were cost coo
ooh cost go Ikea, ooh Ikia, oh big shop, look

(59:22):
at that stuff you about yourself pandom a ooh, giant shop.
It's like saying with fast new fast food places open,
don't they ooh pop Eyes? Marcus? Is there anyone listening
who has not missed one episode of the Chase with
Brandley Walsh? If so, have they ever repeated a question?

(59:46):
I don't think they would have repeated a question. I
think they've got a I think they would work very
hard on that. The three questions you always hear is
about what sort of milk is a cheese made from?
Its normally goats cheese? That comes up quite often. You
don't want to know about your kings and queens. You

(01:00:07):
want to know about your soap operas. Which is such
and such soap opera, which is normally Brookside or Emmadale.
You gotta have some of those ones. You gotta just
guess it because they come up all the time. There
are kind of a lot of the ones about you'd
want to know your moons of different planets. I forget
which planet has the biggest moon. That always there's always

(01:00:28):
questions about moons and planets. Mind you, you can't go
on because it's not in New Zealand. But there's always
questions about cheese. What are the always other questions always
about the always are flying mammal as the bat getting meat.

(01:00:49):
By the way, is the largest moon in the Solar system.
The radio drama is always the Archers. I don't watch
it that often, and when I watch I normally only
watch the last four minutes if I'm going to watch
the news. But trying, I think one of the other

(01:01:16):
questions had always come up. Mainly it's about cheeses and
different animals. I mean, you've got to be pretty smart
to win it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
A lot of them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I think they probably go and get them from professional
quiz teams or quizzes as they call them. And I
think this Chases themselves spend quite a long time practicing Marcus.
I don't watch to Chase, only send little moments of it,
but can't help thinking Brady. He seems just like es
percent on the Chase. When he was a big role

(01:01:47):
on Coronation Street the early two thousands, he played a wife,
cheating playboys, slick businessman Marcus. Congestion chargers could result in
people hosting working from home a bit more. It's unbelievable councils,
local bodies and governments haven't changed roading to keep up
with population, no planning. Look at Todonger and now the

(01:02:11):
mayor won't even live there, by the way. I don't
think they'll ever be a usingand version of a Chase,
and I think they'd be too expense. Although it kind
of interesting that TV did kind of turn their finances around,
got rid of Faargo and now they seemed to be
making money, it seems as though the cost cuttings were
timely for them. That kind of saved themselves from the abyss.
So well done them. I think their financials were quite

(01:02:35):
good for this year. Some of the other companies just
seem to be dying completely when TV three has disappeared altogether,
So well done them. There must still be a core
for free to wear TV. But what we've talked about
is congestion charging, and as the people are portly set out,
there's no point bringing contestion charging. And if the public
transport gets to hell a lot better because you've got

(01:02:56):
to have an alternative. Otherwise it's just a tax on
the poor. So there's that. Also, if you want to
talk about that, my name is Marcus, and have anything
else you want to talk, but also tonight, feel free
to get in touch. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
nine detext. I think we're enjoying mentioning the chase. I

(01:03:16):
think people are less browned off with the chase about
they always thought it was rigged with a time between
one side and the other side. I don't know if
they're still going on about that. I think they might
have actually worked out that it's fairer than they thought. Marcus,
My kids finished basketball at Toto on intermediate school at
four fifteen. Today we'll live, and we live in Ohaiti

(01:03:40):
with no traffic attendant. Drive took an hour and ten
minutes to get home. Our traffic makes Auckland look amazing.
I wouldn't live here if I was the rower or
the mayor.

Speaker 10 (01:03:51):
Either.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
We shouldn't have gone for the job. There'll be my
take on that one, Marcus. Price of gold is up
forty New Zealand dollars in the last three hours to
an all time high of New Zealand five hundred and ninety.

(01:04:14):
It means the old gold mine will be around tomorrow.
He always comes to round to tell me what the
gold prices before he goes mining. He's on the gold
this time too, Marcus. The two chase missus. I remember
the Dark Destroyer didn't know what a slide rule was,
and the Beast had never heard of the nautical lengths

(01:04:35):
of one shekel. Lastly, the Beast, who was a myth teacher,
had never heard of the hairy orange theory. I haven't
heard of the hairy orange theory. I'll look into that
bit about myths. What would it be about the hairy

(01:04:58):
orange theory? Noweu, it's Marcus greetings and welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:05:11):
Just a bit of a cordedor about the you know,
the traffic madness here in Auckland and Tarma Kimikoto, no
doubt in other parts of New Zealand. But I was
having an interesting chat with my nineteen year old son,
the new generation, who had completely different ideas about so

(01:05:32):
many things.

Speaker 20 (01:05:34):
And we have to have an area.

Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
It's a place called the gardens and hill Road full
of trucks, trucks and trucks and trucks galore, and where
you were saying, oh h, I wonder how we could
you know, diminish the the traffic and the alloys everything
like that, and he said they should make I don't

(01:05:59):
know if you know Auckland, but we're both happening in
the off ramp.

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
There going on to the motorway towards Papacuda.

Speaker 7 (01:06:06):
And he said they should make dedicated off ways or
off the motorway on the motorway, like in Tuckingly for example.

Speaker 15 (01:06:16):
For tuck only.

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
So all trucks you've got to all go that way, buddy,
get off, You've got to go follow a certain route
so that trees up, you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Know, makes.

Speaker 11 (01:06:29):
For comuters.

Speaker 7 (01:06:31):
So that was one thing anyway that he was playing
around with, but also very quickly, I'm going to have
a chat one day, quick chat. I did a fuck
of puppa tripped down to the bluff, the older brother
and my my son and his son. We went to
the marias their first time ever for us, for us

(01:06:53):
Aucklands and coming down there to the bottom of a
stout line. It was such an amazing.

Speaker 5 (01:06:59):
Trip.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
And we actually went over to a pookie island where
my father is buried.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:07:05):
So we did a great ship on the Fauvo straight.
I thought, you know, we pulled up to the bluff
warf there and oh, I'm going, Oh, that looks like
a nice, lovely theory that we're going on. I was
quite excited until the fairy moved and we're on the
fishing behind it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):
Wow, it was something that was so special for us.
Our father was a son of Maltese immigrants. Stand up
there up in the bluff cemetery. We had a big
walk around and we found you know, Vala is our surname,
so we found many relatives there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
You look just a beautiful, beautiful Will you be coming back.

Speaker 17 (01:07:50):
Yes, definitely, okay, because.

Speaker 7 (01:07:55):
Build my place on the little booky before the world tea.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Yeah, well, look, honestly, Bluff has got such a special
history and people think down the bottom that people. It's
much different from what people expect. And the Maria is beautiful,
obviously you saw that. That spectacular and a pookie if
you get a chance to go there, not when you
get that chance, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
And the other one, the little one decided I think
I can't remember the Maori name, but green out Green
Island or oh yeah, some mutton bird over there or something.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Perhaps did you have did you have some mutton bird?

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
I'm not partial to that. It's a task also for me.
But as a child where we lived in and I
remember everyone going down to the bus station, the bus
pulled in and out comes all these cabin bread tins.
You know, this is the family, this is the so
and so family, and my mother opening up her big

(01:08:57):
cabin bread you know tin and that awful smell coming
out of it and just kind of basing her mushing bird.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Were you were you down for the anniversary? Were you
down for the anniversary of them? I that was like
last month.

Speaker 7 (01:09:14):
No, No, it was for a land meeting some time ago,
but it was what we call her, you know, chase
the footsteps of our ancestors, and yeah, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Well, we'll give Guess Guess a call next time you're
down to be nice to catch up with you, but
lovely to talk to. Always love anyone that's into bluff.
We're talking the Chase. Someone said he will replace Bradley Welsh.
I think he's only about sixty, but certainly ninety percent
of the success of the show is him, I said,

(01:09:50):
the show and have the other ten percenters both between
the Governess and the Beast darkness story Yah in a
cinner man, but yeah, no, that's the Beast and the Governess.

Speaker 11 (01:10:05):
The Reagan.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
I'm looking at the obvious mistakes they've made. One of
them was one of the guys didn't know how many
centimeters a meter said ten. Yep, they all have bad days. Also,
talking about congestion charging, it's gone through Parliament the first
so counsels will have the ability to bring that in.

(01:10:32):
But you need a fitty good public transport backup. If
people are going to be encouraged to not go in
their cars, you can't just use as a way to
make money. You've got to change behaviors and also pandomart.
By the way, what if people actually buy from those shops.

(01:10:57):
I kind of think what they're selling that other shops
don't say. I don't know what the answer is, just
junkie kind of stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Oh, each to their own. I think we should be
policing what people buy. But I just wonder if over
time people get sick of that stuff and those shops
will go broke. There's a thought, well mind you, I
guess pet I guess Timmy must be jumping into the market.
But too if people can buy all that stuff online,

(01:11:25):
probably seems a bit more enticing Onlinehere it's all packaged
up and looks a bit more appealing. I think a
lot of the challenge of online shopping is a surprised
about when your think finally arrives Marcus fort Knox having
an audit. Gold should be there physically, but many issues
e g. Some bars and world have been found to
be tungsten with gold coating. Also gold will have been

(01:11:50):
leased probably many times have sold, but still in volt
I mean, who knows how much the Fed actually owns
now re gold. Hike on the market relates to weigh
over priced stocks Trump's tariffs upsetting market stability, and I
think we realize why it's gone up, Marcus. Wat's the

(01:12:14):
chance of the cyclone Albert coming getting us on the
dry West coast. The nineteen ninety ninety ninety one anniversary
Taranaka Anniversary floods was the last time we copped it good.
Lost stop banks in Whittler Hill Country was hammered, Marcus.

(01:12:39):
The hairy fuzzy ball orange fear theory states that no
way to comb a uniformly fuzzy sphere without leaving a
region uncombed. Couldn't find thing online about that, Marcus. That
woman who called about bluff. My sister in law was
married to a Maltese guy who is a Vala. They

(01:13:01):
live in Melbourne. Can you pass on my number to
her if this is okay with her kindness regard it's Tarnia.
I can't do that, but thank you for texting, Marcus.
It seems with obesit here and you say we might
go through a generation of eating poorly. Intal education understanding
catches up, hopefully, meaning that as education becomes embedded, generations

(01:13:23):
which don't have a history of education for parents and grandparents.
The interim cost of VC will mean healthcare will be
stretched even gaps for large number of Kiwis. The generation
is primary school now likely to have healthy children with
OBESIE numbers dropping off. I don't think you can educate
people out of obesity. I think it's all to do

(01:13:45):
with brain centers and rewards and things like that. I
think it's very, very complex. I think if we think
things that they can educate out of it, it's just
gonna exacerbate the situation. That's my take. I'm no means
an expert on it, but I don't think you can
just say it's education. I think that's slightly simplistic. Hi, Chris,

(01:14:09):
welcome here, Good morning.

Speaker 15 (01:14:11):
Or good evening, Marcus. I was going to be flying
over to Brisbane end of the week and they notified
us that the flights won't go ahead to speak of,
they sort of said you can candle if you want it.
So what we've done is we're sort of canceled because
anything in any of the accommodation rentals and all that,
if we don't get in two days notice, we lose

(01:14:33):
all our money on them. But to rebook our tickets
for the four of us is another twelve hundred dollars
on top to the next, not the tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
So it's three hundred dollars per person to rebook your
flights and your accommodation and your rentals are just your flights.

Speaker 15 (01:14:51):
No, no, no, just the flights. We're stopping in like
two days early. I'm lucky I don't lose my rental, car, accommodation,
and the motels and bits and pieces theme parks. But
to read book with the airline and another ones that

(01:15:12):
said there's a chance that we won't let you in
byre charging an extra twelve hundred dollars for us to
read book. Because because the accommodation, I need wheelchair combination
for my wife. It means that I can't get my
accommodation immediately. It's a month out before I can get
another unit. But where we were going, and yeahs are

(01:15:37):
hunting out one hundred ducks and I think it stinks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Chris, this is going to surprise me what I'm going
to say. I don't think that's that unreasonable, considering the
alternative would have been for you to go across when
the weather is terrible and be there in a cyclone,
which wouldn't be great at all would it.

Speaker 15 (01:15:57):
Yeah, but they're the ones that said they can't guarantee it.

Speaker 20 (01:16:01):
Not me.

Speaker 15 (01:16:01):
I could still gone across, but the other ones that
said no, we can't guarantee it. So they were doing it.
They were doing something decent. But the fact that I
rung the people and NASIA across to and they turned
around and says, everyone on Narsie is jumping up there
because kantus the National Airline of screwing everyone.

Speaker 17 (01:16:20):
Yeah, so I would.

Speaker 15 (01:16:23):
I would never go fly again with them.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
I didn't understand. What have you rather gone across when
it's when being there in the cyclone?

Speaker 15 (01:16:33):
No, not a case of that is a case of
They are the ones that pulled and they said they
can't guarantee their flights, so they've pulled the pin. Surely
they should be responsible. They're going to pull the pin
and say they can't guarantee us, they should be the
ones that turn around and say, we will give you
your flights at a later date at the same price.

Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
Yeah, have you got They haven't got.

Speaker 15 (01:16:58):
You can't get travel insurance to cover it that they'll
cover your tickets, But that's what it does.

Speaker 12 (01:17:02):
Anyway.

Speaker 15 (01:17:03):
They covered the original price, but all it is is
another on top of our room. The rector tickets at
the time, guarantee that will roll you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Okay. So are you saying that you have treval insurance
and that's not effective or that doesn't have you got
travel insurance?

Speaker 15 (01:17:28):
Chris, I've got travel insurance that will cover my tickets
and they don't cover them anyway. I said that they
will allow us to read book or they'll give it
the credit for our existing tickets. Yeah, but from a
new ticket. Uh, there's another twelve hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
So if you didn't have preval insurance, then how much
extra would it be?

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:17:52):
No, that was there was a comp hundred dollars. They
guaranteed it. Because that's canceled it. They they pretty they'll
give you credit the money.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Yeah, but if if you hadn't had travel insurance, how
much what have you been out for? He's broken up?
Thanks Chris. There has been a wicket in the cricket.

(01:18:25):
Hopefully there's a second wick. And I say that it's
not Smith that's gone for a black?

Speaker 7 (01:18:28):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (01:18:29):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:18:29):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
I think I might be wrong here. I think it's
a replay of the first wicket. Yeah, five for one.
Australia betting five for one Head on one, Smith on zero.
Hopefully he stays on zero. The bets when everyone hates

(01:18:53):
it's head that's facing though. You might want to comment
on that with Australia. I didn't. Yeah, so that the
guy was doing pretty well. Actually, Marcus, my niece is
flying from Auckland to Sydney on Thursday. Do you think
your flight would get canceled? No, Marcus, today is pancake Tuesday.

(01:19:16):
If way, I thank you. I hope the Pope's okay. Marcus.
I've just been talking to family in core col Rander,
Sunshine Coast. They tell me it's okay, just heavy rain
and present. I don't expect much more until Thursday. Please
pass on to the woman who was trying to contact
her twins. Thanks Sandy, I love the twins. Marcus. My

(01:19:39):
name is Chay and obesity doctor practicing from Auckland. Happy
World Obesity Day. Marcus, You're right that obesity is much
more than educating people. It's a complex, long term medical disease.
For all the listers, I want them to know that
it's much more than willpower and self control. Marcus. I

(01:20:02):
totally agree that education doesn't directly lead to lower obesity,
but ducated parents tend to have leaner children, possibly because
they get higher pay and can afford better quality food
and will make have more energy and time as they
work more with their mind than their bodies. Marcus Shawan
here for Christians, Lent is starting tomorrow, that's right? When's Easter?

(01:20:27):
Is it later? Already? This year? I think we've menaged
two and a half hours that anyone mentioning marmite. I'm
thinking that if he is in and started doing marmite sandwiches,
people probably would enjoy that more than the cassava chips,
wouldn't they? That in an apple? Of course, free salty
marmite and a school lunch not really what people need.

(01:20:49):
Good evening, Glennet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:20:52):
Oh Marcus, I can't believe it. You've been talking about
the Aussies and I just got offline checking the cricket score.
But the Australians playing India in the ICC Champions Trophy,
and well I've been up late, what's listening what they
pull in the games? And New Zealand lost last night,

(01:21:14):
and all of a sudden I noticed myself backing the
Australians and yeah, we are.

Speaker 16 (01:21:23):
Live in Australians.

Speaker 12 (01:21:25):
I always want to beat the bastards.

Speaker 8 (01:21:27):
But here I am.

Speaker 12 (01:21:29):
I can't believe I spent twenty years of my wife
living in Australia and one of the major reasons why
I came back to New Zealand, where I was born
is that I found myself started singing in Australia and
we were playing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
I know, I thought, oh, I've seen a lot of
discussion online with people saying we should beat the Aussies
because I'll be easiest to beat the final. That arrogance,
We're not going to make the final with that attitude.
We'll get beaten tomorrow.

Speaker 12 (01:22:00):
Oh well I'm not. I'm a proud KII here like
I've got a lot of moldy blood on me and
we nearly give up. Bro, We're always sticking there. And
you know, if you haven't got a sword, use your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Nice to hear you, Glenn. Good evening, TERRYO. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:22:20):
Yeah, hi Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:22:22):
So what's this is?

Speaker 21 (01:22:24):
It did the New Zealand type to say that they
would hope India would lose so they could play Australia
or who said that?

Speaker 10 (01:22:30):
Because just just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
People online are saying I'm supporting Australia. Yeah, not that,
not the team, not that yeah no, not the New
Zealand team, I promise.

Speaker 21 (01:22:39):
Yeah, I don't Australia. Australian athletes, they don't care who
they play in the final.

Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:22:47):
It's yeah, we're sort of obsessed with saying Australia in
the final or something, but Australia doesn't care who they
play anyone.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
I just want to I completely agree.

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:22:59):
And also I just want to mention that the hockey girls,
the New Zealand hockey girls, they've won a tournament. I
think they beat Chilly or it was in Chilly and
in the final night. I thought that was great because
they didn't make the Olympics last year and they've come
back and said, look, you know that's not going to
get them down. And they've had tens of thousands of

(01:23:20):
dollars taken away.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Million million, Yeah that's right, yeah, I know.

Speaker 21 (01:23:25):
And I thought that's stupid, like a punishment.

Speaker 18 (01:23:28):
You know, what do you want to do that for?

Speaker 21 (01:23:30):
I mean, you invest, you know, just because they didn't
make it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
But Terry, it's a dying sport. Hockey. Well windy. No
one ever watches it. People's ever on. No one cares
about hockey ever going. It used to be begg and
it's big in some sort of provinces and they get

(01:23:53):
good funding for courts and stuff, but no one wants
to put No one enjoys it.

Speaker 21 (01:23:59):
Well, no one wants the swimming.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
An extremely good point too. I don't know how swimming
gets so much funding. Terrible from a spectator point of view.
And yeah, if you're if you weren't correcked it by sixteen,
it's all over.

Speaker 21 (01:24:14):
Well, it's what swimming.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Well, you've got to be very good, very young, don't you.

Speaker 21 (01:24:20):
Well they were you, I mean yeah, the oddies they
had world record breakers age thirty and fort and fifteen,
which is considered you know, but now that's considered too.
They have the Junior Olympics. Now I don't know why
they have that because you can yeah, but can I
just want to with the obesity, you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Have to hold the teria. I'll come back to about
obesity because I'll do a bit of a pivot before
we get to that. It is thirty one for one.
Smith's not off the mark yet. Let's hope we never
gets off the mark Head twenty six off nineteen. Assie
went to bed first. They are thirty one for one.
The other semi us in in versus South Africa is
on tomorrow night. This is the Champions League. I'm not

(01:25:03):
too concerned who we play on I don't think. I
just hope we play well tomorrow night. I'm just happy
if we get through to the final. That's my take.
An amazing story about giving blood. There's an Australian man

(01:25:26):
who's rare blood saved two point four million babies, has
died at eighty eight. He's given blood more than eleven
hundred times to give his plasma, which was used in
life saving anti DE medication known as the Man with

(01:25:49):
the Golden Arm, to save at risk newborn babies. His
blood was special because it contained what the Australian Red
Cross described as a rare and precious antibody essential to
make antid DE injections. Anti DE injections are a risk

(01:26:11):
are a life saving medication given to RhD negative mothers
whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies.
Without their babies can suffer heymolytic disease of the fetus
and newborn, which can be fatal. He first donated blood
in nineteen fifty four and never missed a fortnightly appointment.

(01:26:37):
Pretty amazing story. So he might have an interesting blood
that's in demand that you donate. Often always enjoy those
sorts of discussions as well about giving blood. A lot
of discussions about marmite, which was weird about what Luckson said,
because the thing is, the government has said they approve

(01:27:00):
of the school lunch scheme. They're paying the money to Compas,
and Compass is not providing a satisfactory product. So the
government it's their job to get value for the taxpayers
from the money that they're putting forward. They've said, yes,
we support school lunches, and they're putting millions and millions

(01:27:23):
of dollars into it. They're getting slop. So discussion is
not about whether you approve of school lunches. The government
said they supported the government that you've voted for the
National government says yes, we got to continue on with
the scheme. And one hundreds of millions of dollars are
in that scheme to go to Compass, who do not

(01:27:46):
seem to be fulfilling their criteria at all. The meals
are inedible and there seems to be no consequences for compass.
There's no penalties, there's nothing, So that's just extraordinarily poor governance.
And then they're just saying and sort of laughing off
and then to say we'll give them a marm mite sandwich.

(01:28:08):
Hang on, this is your scheme that you've approved of,
you're paying for it. It's not about where the parents
provide lunch. You've decided you support the lunch scheme that's
to give all the kids that meal, because you don't
want to just shame and just give it to some kids.

(01:28:35):
So yeah, I can't work it out. I can't work
out why i'd say that. And of course too, I mean,
the whole thing it's all about because one on four
children are in poverty. These are the children from working
families because of the cost of accommodation, etc. The kids
are hungry. But I mean, I'm loath to mention it

(01:28:59):
because so often the discussion gets railroad into different kind
of judgmental avenues. But you know, if you're going to
pay a company to do something, if you're going to
pay them one hundreds of million dollars to provide lunches,
they've got to provide lunches that are fit to eat.
Otherwise it's just a total waste of textpays money, and
I can't work out why. He then go on about

(01:29:22):
marmite sandwiches anyway, nineteen to eleven forty seven for one
head on thirty three Smith on eight from seven balls
and looking forward to what you want to say. You
might want to go down your own road about the
things you had for lunch. Most of us had fish paste,

(01:29:42):
it seems. But yes, I don't want to need texts
about who should be providing school lunch, who should be
getting the school lunches. The government decided they have the
school lunch program. That's it, and they put the money
for it, and they've got a provider and the provider
doesn't seem to be fulfilling that contract. And I don't

(01:30:04):
know about you, but if you've got someone paying some
want to do something they're not doing it properly, you
normally fire them. They'd be my take fifty three four
to one Australia going around along quite nicely. Smith up
to as usual tricks, walking away from balls, about to
be in bold, seeing mysterious things in a sightline, just
being the princess that he is with that little screwed

(01:30:27):
up face. But that Smith the plower we all love
to hate, Marcus. How ridiculous? Whoever is predicular that half
the world population will be obet in twenty five years?
How the hell can anyone predict that? It's a bit
like how they talk about things that happened ten thousand
years ago. What's the lance at the medical journal that's

(01:30:48):
written the report on that? So I imagine there'd be
fairly good science behind that, and I imagine it would
be a fairly accurate prediction. But you tell us what's
right or wrong, Marcus. I think the government should use
the can Tsumi Guarantees Act to force Compass to live

(01:31:08):
it or return the money. Oh yeah, they've got to
have the contract pulled away from them. That's crazy. I
tried one yesterday of the meals, just the thing that
I was staggering about. Apart from being impossible to open,
I looked at it and I thought, that's not three
dollars fifty worth. It felt like about fifty cents worth
as well. It was an edible, was terrible. Seymour needs

(01:31:39):
to find a better provider then do his job instead
of publicly stints on the steers of Parliament. Well, Luxton
should make him do his job, and I think probably
Erica Stanford tried to have a meeting with him and
he didn't turn up for it. Marcus, I'm pretty sure
that Bradley Walsh left The Chase months ago. In the

(01:31:59):
UK have seen several episodes of his new game show
The Chase on nz TV at the moment was broadcast
on ukt between three to seven years ago. I don't
know that it has gone, but le let me know
about that. There would be of interest. Good evening, Lola,
it's Marcus. Welcome. Well, hang on, yes, hang on, hang on,

(01:32:20):
hang on. I think Smith might have gone it's too
much now it's the other guy's head. Yes, high loller welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:32:26):
Yeah, you said the prediction for obesity in twenty fifty
would be fifty percent of the people.

Speaker 14 (01:32:34):
Around the world.

Speaker 19 (01:32:35):
Yeah, well it is pretty well right, because if they
don't change the diet back to what we used to have,
then nothing's going to change. It's just going to keep.

Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
Going up and up and up.

Speaker 19 (01:32:49):
And by twenty fifty there will be a lot more
women who are infertile, and so you won't know whether
they don't want children or they can't have so very painful.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Okay, okay, are there? Tell me more about that.

Speaker 19 (01:33:13):
Well, they changed the diet in nineteen seventy three and
they got rid of saturated fat and promoted sugar, and
they paid people to do that, and so the people
who did the smoking campaign they got paid. And so

(01:33:34):
with getting rid of the saturated fat and demonizing it,
all the organs are compromised. You know, they're not strong
like they used to be.

Speaker 11 (01:33:44):
They are weak.

Speaker 19 (01:33:45):
The integrity of the arteries and tissues, and the skin
is not the same. It's not hardy like it used
to be. And so there's all these kind of problems
having with exertion. And you get a subrachnoid stroke. That's
when the artery falls apart. It doesn't tear, it falls

(01:34:06):
apart through a weak connection. And the weak connection is
the oil, because it's one electron short of functioning, and
it steals one from a healthy cell. And that's called
degenerative health.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
So how do they say, okay, so what do you
think is going to happen to reverse it all?

Speaker 10 (01:34:25):
Lola?

Speaker 19 (01:34:28):
Well, people have to put saturated that back in their diet. Well,
a lot of people are going back to buflebup now
look at the price of it exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
So a lot of those things are going to happen
because the foods that people are choosing are the highly
marketed ones and the ones that are appealing to them.

Speaker 19 (01:34:44):
Well, just about everything's got oil in it, and it's
not the right oil, and so you use seed oils
and they cause problems. So if you use fruit oils
that's avocado, coconut, and olive, they don't use the seeds.
And there's also rice brand it uses them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
See, I do know there's a bit of that conspiracy
around seed oils, which I think probably is slightly There
seems to be a bit of hysteria around seed oils,
which I think probably is not justified. But Lola, thanks
for approaching that. Greetings, welcome to the show. Jivin's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:35:28):
I gave up waiting for you to explain what a
shekel was.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
I didn't know.

Speaker 9 (01:35:37):
Oh, it refers to a measurement of anchor cable.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
So is it the length of one shekel.

Speaker 9 (01:35:46):
Ye between each shekel of fifteen fatherns?

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Really fifteen, it's quite a lot, isn't it. Ninety okay,
So how long's a shekel?

Speaker 9 (01:35:58):
Then fifteen fatherns? Okay between each shekel on a anchor cable.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Were you surprised they got it wrong? Were you surprised
they got it wrong?

Speaker 9 (01:36:15):
I don't know what they said, okay, and.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
I'll find out.

Speaker 9 (01:36:22):
And I was waiting for somebody to explain what the
measurement was. I spoke to you about three months ago
when you had a program on luck had I told
you about George Gunn falling off the crow jack yard

(01:36:42):
on the pawn and finishing up on the rudders. That's right, yeah, yeah,
So there.

Speaker 2 (01:36:53):
Was a June World War two. There was dune world
War two, was it? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:36:56):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:36:57):
Oh, whilst she was here here during World War two,
she was a War prize in ninety two.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
You know, I remember that, Jim, Thank you. Nice to
hear from you. A six away from eleven. Make's spedulty
about lunches, I'm a port at luxe and Willison's coming
about Marmt sandwiches, banana and apples. Last year, last I
bought eight dollars in bananas last jar. I bought last

(01:37:26):
year eight dollars and others full of a kid in
some shops the governments costs thousands of their jobs. In
many cases no prospect. Again another because of age and locality,
a hot lunch is the only hot food. Some kids
get sorted out and don't make such mean spirited remarks.
There you go, Marcus. I agree with your recent comments

(01:37:50):
about decent provision of lunches, Compass of briding lunches. I
remember of the Atlas group who are closely elled with
ACT a number of national ministers. I think Seam was
just trying to kill the scheme. This is his way
to do it. Seamus said earlier down your station. The

(01:38:11):
plastic containers melted because they are heated and oven to
an improper temperature. So basically, whether the plastic is burned
or not, all of those school luncheon will we be
flooded with microplastics. I wouldn't feed it to my dog,
did lay my kid? Marcus. I think it was mentioned
to you previously that Compass was the same company contract
to provide school meals in the UK. Jamie Oliver took

(01:38:33):
them to task and they lost the contract.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
But a comment about that seems as though it's a
situation that's not going away for the government because a
lot of well, I guess it's to do with kids,
doesn't It doesn't look good when they're all at Bellamy
he's eating flesh food and the kid to getting these
little poddles of things that look discussed, and of course

(01:39:05):
the government's paying for it. This is their scheme. They've said, yes,
we support school lunches, we're going to get this to
provided to do it. And it's been a disaster and
they seem to have had no consequences. Of course Seymah
was a deputly Prome minister. Soon he needs to sort
it out anyway. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine

(01:39:28):
to nine two to text. Also congestion charge and also
we hope with every ball that Smith's about to go
out as it happened yet though he is kind of
established now nineteen off twenty one. They're going all right.
The Aussies, oh some emails, thank you for that. Nicole

(01:39:52):
Marcus left Brisbane today to go to Sydney. Left husband
to work out for things. We are in Redland Bay
where all the Island fairies leave from, and they did
their last sailing today. All the fairies and the CBD
were put away yesterday I went to the new to
the supermarket and shelves were stripped yesterday by nine point thirty.
People are fighting at sandbag stations. My husband, who is

(01:40:14):
an operation manager, is going to close his plant that
is one hour west of we were about by Ipswich.
People are worried about gas bottles outside, what to tie down,
et cetera. It's quite manic. The animal shelters need desperate help,
but everyone's busy. A lot of businesses are closing. From
Thursday when I left, it was a beautiful third degree day,
sun shining, et cetera. Higgins Storm Chasing has a massive

(01:40:39):
following on Facebook. They seem to be the most up
to date. Higgins Storm Chasing Council reissued flood maps of
our area based on storm stooges, high tides and seven
hundred millimeters of rain. It's a bit grim for some.
There is a touch of hysteria, and then there are
those preparing to ride it out with barbecues, torches and
generators chairs. Nicole formerly of Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and

(01:41:03):
now back in Sydney. It's a tremendous email, so thank
you for that. Nicole that's about Brisbane. Marcus used to
watch Tipping Point, used to watch it, but went right
off at about a year ago. Being Sheppard put me
right off with his hands all over the pretty female
contestants were they won. He's a sleeves big he's very handsy,

(01:41:27):
very handsy. Julian and to Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:41:32):
Good evening, How are you good, Jillian?

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
Thanks?

Speaker 6 (01:41:37):
That's all right. I wonder if I could just comment
on a couple of TV shows that I've been watching.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
Great sounds fantastic, I'm interested.

Speaker 6 (01:41:44):
Look, one of them is called Huey Hoppers and it's
made with New Zealand and their money. It's a better
couple of sisters that one. And Mariah by soon up
north somewhere. I just it just seemed to me to
portray Mary's in a not a particularly good luck and

(01:42:09):
that may be the way that it is that works
up sure, But basically it's sort of, you know, they're
running the MARII. It just seems as though all they
do is eat. All they do is get involved in
local arguments about land. It's it's sort of quite funny

(01:42:30):
and I'm quite enjoying it. But then the show I
watched last night. They had what they called the Mari
Kardashians arrived on the Marai and that was, you know,
six or seven people all dressed in black like the
Kardashians will do, and they're they're sort of quite odd
in the way that they behave.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
Sure, Okay, so you're enjoying it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
I'm enjoying it, and I think I think it's really good.
I just but you know, the other one I've been
watching as well as called the program called The Gone
and I think that's got New Zealand and the m
and E and IM and I know that that that
been well received in Ireland and obviously been sold overseas,
and that once again is portraying the Mari as basically

(01:43:17):
a warring tribal race that don't seem to appear to
take any notice of any authority.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
What's it called.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
The first one's called Huie Hoppers. No, I realized that
the other one's called Gone. It's a very Yeah. It's
about a couple that disappear while they're living up north
and they had their parents or them had some connection
with an Irish gang and that's so they've sent an

(01:43:50):
Irish police officer over here to help the locals investigate it.
Once again, I'm really.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Enjoying it perfect are you? Are you trying to make
some connection that because it's on because it's n Z
and on any fund and it needs to have fulfill
some sort of brief is it what you're saying?

Speaker 5 (01:44:08):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:44:09):
No, not not no, not really.

Speaker 6 (01:44:11):
I mean if that's the way it is, then that's
the way it is.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
I just you know, one's a reality show where I'll
play things for drama, and the other one to drama
where it's it's you know, it's made up.

Speaker 6 (01:44:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really watching the studio as well.

Speaker 2 (01:44:28):
The mission is what TV channels are on. They both
sound great.

Speaker 6 (01:44:32):
It's TV in zaid plus one so on demand, so.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
They're both on demand.

Speaker 4 (01:44:37):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
Which do you prefer?

Speaker 6 (01:44:41):
Well, I've only just started watching Gone, so I've done
watched a couple of episodes tonight, most probably Gone because
it's more my you know.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
I like the it's got rave reviews.

Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
Yeah, it's a it's a great show and say it's
you know, I heard something on the news tonight that
it's it's you know, done very well oversee especially you
know Beck in Loland, and it's you know, both of
them are showing New Zealand as you know a fenti
the country. But yeah, I just you know, I just
don't know, as I'd be interesting to see if there
was any Mari people that watch it and what they

(01:45:17):
think of the show. How does it portray things as
they are or as the way that New Zealanders see
Mari and oversees people see Mari.

Speaker 2 (01:45:27):
What's happening with the dogs?

Speaker 6 (01:45:30):
I just got my reperhaps just decided that she wants
my attention at the moment, so yeah, she's just yeah,
she's just come down. I was just off to bed,
and then I thought, now I'll give you a ring
because I just watched a couple of episodes of the
shows and I thought, yeah, I know, maybe I should
pull it out there and see what Marcus and the
audience say.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
Brilliant, good on you, Julian, thank you, thirteen past eleven,
Oh wait, one hundred and eighteen ten Eightian nineteen nine.
Tow to text Marcus, Seymour and Luxon should after the
school lunches for a month Morereen, Marc's likely we've taken
over doing our school lunches and blend them always on time.
Much benches and they used to be kids. Love them

(01:46:08):
bigger portions, none left over on the same budget as
the others. Yeah, well something's got to happen because it's
not going to be sustainable the way it's going. So
get in touch you on a talk. My name is
Marcus Welcome HEDDLL twelve. We're talking to Chase Bradley Walsh.
But I don't even know what's happened with Bradley Welsh.
I think he's off the chase, but people thought who

(01:46:31):
would succeed him. We're talking pandom art, We're also talking
about congestion charging.

Speaker 19 (01:46:40):
All this and more.

Speaker 2 (01:46:43):
And Julian's line of Julian's line of questioning jeeps. So
there must have been a bit of talk about Bradley
Bradley whilesh shaying he could step down or the only
reason he will step down. So there's no surprise that
people are talking that about that. But he's beloved in England.

(01:47:06):
I think surprise he's not a sewer probably turned it down.
He's been the presenter for fifteen years. He has no
plans to leave any time soon. Really, there is one
scenario that would force him to consider sitting down, stepping down.

(01:47:31):
If viewers lose interest until people say they've had nothing
to start switching off, I'll do it. Best job in
the world. Interesting enough, it's a daytime show in the UK,
the long running series remains one of ITV's most watched
daytime shows. I don't know what time it screens, so

(01:47:52):
totally let me know about that. Getting touch. One name
is Marcus HITD twelve. There's something different you want to
mention eight hundred and eighty eight. Also, it's obesity Day.
Half the world will be obese by twenty to fifteen.
Oh easy fix. There extremely complicated thing to address. I
would imagine. Oh wait eighty Josh, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:48:18):
Yeah, Marcus. Just just thinking about these school lunches. How
much dura can these politicians spend on lunch?

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
And I think I think they get it provided for free. Well,
I guess that's hypocrisy because people think, if it's a
rite for the politicians to eat that for lunch, it
we're serving our children who are wanting to study and
they're wanting you know, I mean, it's more vital for

(01:48:46):
the It's more vital for children to eat well than politicians.

Speaker 16 (01:48:51):
Yeah, recurring persons to eat wells. Yeah, it's a good idea. Yeah,
I'm just curious what what kind of expenses they might
get on the average week for food.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
I'm sure they do get. Yeah, it's a very good
point you make, and there will be something. There'll be
responses because they're away from home or parliamentarians. Yeah, they
probably get.

Speaker 16 (01:49:14):
Because of course we're trying to be diligent with government spending,
aren't we. Yes, yes, I'm quite curious about those figures.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
Yeah, I will find that out for you.

Speaker 16 (01:49:26):
And we could check it on a week and see
if we know, because I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure
people would have a con what do you call it
a conscience?

Speaker 7 (01:49:39):
It wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (01:49:42):
I think once of people get into power, there's an
arrogance that goes with it and they think they can.
Actually they deserve it because they're doing God's work.

Speaker 16 (01:49:50):
So if you have a good day, it's crayfish.

Speaker 21 (01:49:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
I'm not seeing. I'm I'm seeing, I'm not seeing anything
in their basic allowance. I'm seeing they get partners and
family members, they get accommodation, travel, allowed to not seeing
anything for meals and remember, so there's always parliamentarians that
have scammed and see they live in different places where
they live. I think Bill English did that, remember, yes, yes,

(01:50:19):
so not not only are the entitlements, but they also
scam the entitlements as well.

Speaker 16 (01:50:27):
We've heard about spending at the laundromat, et cetera, and
flash undies and all of that. But I'm just wondering
specifically if they do they have an expense card that
they can buy lunch every day or do you.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Know anything about that? Do you anything about that?

Speaker 4 (01:50:42):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
I thought Dan was on. I've had a bit of
a quick look around. I can't see that.

Speaker 16 (01:50:51):
I mean, of course, I mean, don't get me wrong, Marcus,
at least not be too judgmental of someone's meeting a
foreign diplomat. Well you've got to put on a spread.
But I mean, what is the average daily sort of
what are we paying for here?

Speaker 2 (01:51:06):
And that's a problem, And that's the thing where it
starts hurting, where people looking at the kids reading that
and the parliamentarians are on crayfish. That's bad optics in
terms of parliament bad.

Speaker 16 (01:51:15):
Optics when we are staying we're concerned with our government spending.

Speaker 2 (01:51:20):
Yes, I've never been on a corporate luncher it's been
three dollars.

Speaker 16 (01:51:26):
Yeah, thank you for your tail. It's worth for ponder.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
Good on you, Josh, thank you. Joan Marcus Hello, oh
hello Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:51:34):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Joan?

Speaker 10 (01:51:35):
Thank you?

Speaker 20 (01:51:36):
Are you're talking about the chase again? I enjoy the
chase and Bradley is very good because he's got sense
of humor and he's very good with the people.

Speaker 2 (01:51:45):
Gets he's got a great bedside manner.

Speaker 20 (01:51:49):
Yeah, and he gets on with all the chases very well.
Him and Sean does that destroyer. They are the same age,
but I think it's only about a week or two
between their age their birthdays. And the only thing I
don't like about the programm is when they come on,
the first person comes on, and then they have that
bringing up who's going to come on? And he makes
a comment about them every single time. I just turn

(01:52:11):
off the volume. That's a bit I don't like. When
he's the first person who's on, answering the questions and
then he brings up who's going to come on? As
a chaser, do you normally watch it at six five
o'clock at night? And he brings on the out of
the four or five chases and says something about an

(01:52:33):
hegety usually something about his size and weight and Mark
Labette and it's a bit rude, no, but he doesn't
need to bring up a comment about all the chasers
when they're going to bring up one to be the
chaser of that program. And that's the only part I
don't like about the show. But the rest of it
I really like. Is very good with the people that

(01:52:54):
are on it to answer questions and win money, and
it's very well set out, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:00):
It's a very clever show because there's all those people
that you want to be in the final, but you're
also want to you can make the other people get
less money by gate bye, by going for negative amounts.
It's quite fun.

Speaker 20 (01:53:11):
Yes, yes, it's very very well done, and no wonder
it's kept going for so long. But and then you
get some young girls or something there. But you know,
they're cute and they're giggly, and you know, he you know,
he's so nice to them and he says, oh, you know,
it just makes nice comments to them, and some of
them are quite amusing, some of the ones that are

(01:53:32):
on the show, you know, But I do watch Australian
one that's on middle late afternoon. Larry does the Australian one,
and that one's okay. He hasn't got the same humor
as as Bradley, but he's very good. He's very nice
and that that's quite a good.

Speaker 2 (01:53:50):
Is he that short guy?

Speaker 20 (01:53:52):
No, No, he's not short. I'm a short guy that
does that deal or no deal? I can't stand them.
I've got to turn the volume behind.

Speaker 11 (01:53:59):
Who's Larry Larry does?

Speaker 20 (01:54:02):
Larry does the Australian Chase. He's not short, he's Larry,
very good, he's very good. Yeah, I don't deal or
no deal. Oh my god, I can't stand that. It's
too much that little man. Every every just about every
woman and men are bigger and taller than him, but

(01:54:24):
he just yells all the time and he's just stupid.
It's just it's just typed up. My friend Edith sheps
he loves it, and I said, oh god, he's too
much for me. I can't be bothered, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
I don't know if I've seen that one, Joe. But
I've got to run. But thank you. Nice to talk. Phraser. Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:54:40):
Marcus, just very quickly on the programs that gone so
it's it's filmed here in the white heat opens a
little our little sentiment in the below below mountains South
Siera has a Mountain of Love and it's it's it's
set for the New Zealan and the Irish police are

(01:55:03):
in with it as well. It's very it's a very
good serious they've just started the second series only a
couple of weeks ago, and my wife and I are
just fixated with it only only because we live in
ti Arapa, and then we can start start recognizing details
of where we've been and what we've seen within the

(01:55:24):
last or mouths and we've lived in Tiraha. It's a
great a great little, great little subsidy.

Speaker 2 (01:55:31):
We call it. When we when was it filmed their
Fraser So we.

Speaker 22 (01:55:36):
Moved, we moved to Arah May last year and they
were filming the second series then. So it's been sort
of progressively over the last last two years. But we
do we don't have a community for barbecue on Friday
night at Saint David's in Tiharaha, and I'm sure we
will get a lot more insight into into how how

(01:55:57):
long ago They're gone was actually filmed there. It's a
it is actually it's actually we're very impressed with it.
It's a it's great, it's a great little.

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Si brilliant phraser. Thanks for coming through about that. Yeah, look,
I thought the other guy's comments were really strange. To
be fair, I couldn't quite work out what his agenda was.
I just think he wanted to have a ever go
at someone. But yeah, anyway, but if it's served to
highlight us all about this great show, that that's a
good thing. I guess tadahall with the sparkling water that

(01:56:31):
comes out of the ground, A lot of water comes
to the grammar, not if it's sparkling. Marcus Bradley Walsh
has been through his coronation straight. Thank you, Get in
Touch twenty five. The only guy I don't like is
I don't like the Irish guy with a string. I
don't like the string tie drives me crazy. Like the
Irish guy like a subtle man. I don't like the
string tie. I always think they look terrible. I guess

(01:56:55):
it's that's his stick. I quite like the other the
the other less. I shouldn't say that Governess have been
my favorite. Then the other less, the other woman, then
the labette and his endless diets, the one that went
married his cousin, what about as well as you could

(01:57:16):
have mentioned? Then the Dark Destroyer, than the Cinnamon. By
then the Irish guve I got them all. So it
goes governess, cousin Marya. No, who's the second one? I
liked this, she was on that singing song. Goes the Governess,

(01:57:38):
then the one from the Northern University, then the cousin Marya,
then the Dark Destroyer, then the Cinnamon. I think I
might have the cinema and the Dark destroy Who's the
one always over here hassling the all blacks Dark Destroyer? Yeah,
Dark Destroyer, then the cinema and then the Irish guy.
I haven't really warmed the Irish guy, but money it's
the string tie and I don't think anyone would actually

(01:58:00):
rank them different by the way, which one's the smartest?
The Governess, I think where the other woman will be second?
You can get the cinnamon Rattel. That's the answer.
