Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thurday two five. The Highland is over a Mawana PACIFICA.
They have just scored ma Onona Pacific, Episode thirty two five.
How are you? What's happening? Where you going? Goodness? Gracious,
we're surprised here about christ Church, the violence capital of
New Zealand. That came as a shock because it only
has good stories. So anyway, it doesn't feel like a
Friday night thing, does it though? Violence in christ Church?

(00:36):
I hope it goes well with a start when this
stadium kicks off. Anyway, how are you people? My name is?
My name is Marcus Hittle twelve. Mikey Bibben along at
midnight tonight. I'll keep you updated with sporters that happens.
I feel with the conversations I have had that the
dial of the fuel anxiety has gone up. A couple

(00:57):
of clicks today, a couple of well placed columns in
the papers. Feels like quiet panic, doesn't It feels like
it's the diesel that's going to be the problem, and
the rural sector and the trucks. It's diesel. We're going
to be short of and I see per taking for
those Canterbury farmers that are involved in cropping, and the
likes huge diesel bills fifteen hundred dollars a day for diesel.

(01:21):
I've had discussions today with people about talking about starting
gardens and people are now worried about food security. Now
it's not my joe job on a Friday to spread
concern and angst and panic. I just like to stake
take the state of the nation and work out what
people are doing if they're doing things differently. There is

(01:42):
one question I would have and I don't know how
you'd answer this, And it was during that news bulletin
with Nicola Willis and I heard a day on the
news she was talking about the COVID experience like it
was like it was a tribute band, like the Pink
Floyd experience. But anyway, lessons from the COVID experience. And
in that news clip in the news there with Nina

(02:06):
Nikola said. Nikola Willis said there might be suggestions of
people voluntarily cutting down their fuel use. Now, I reckon
during World War two and during the Suez Crisis of
the seventies, if we asked people to cut down on

(02:28):
fuel use. Boy, they would do that, and they would
find ways to do that, and they would love to
do that. I reckon now with some of the loose
cannons I talk to, that people would want to do
the exact opposite. I reckon the way that there is
people on social media, tap tap tap on the keyboards.
If they said please don't try not to try not
to save petrol, people would probably take the fizz boat

(02:50):
to Heroko, to the lake for the long weekend and
do laps. I hope I'm wrong, but I just think
that there is that bloody mindedness or that sheer spirit
that people do something the opposite of what they're asked
to do. So I'll start off with a bit of
a thought question for you. If the government said for
you to useless petrel, would you would you use less?

(03:11):
And I don't know how you'd answer that. I don't
know how I would cut down on petrel. I could
bike to work, but I wouldn't get to bed till three.
It could be two and a half hour. I'm happy
to do it, but it would take me longer to
get to bike to working back. That would for me
day at work, So use I don't know how realistic
that is. I could work from home, but the house

(03:34):
is small and the kids are noisy, and they've got
no boundaries. Anyway, you might want to mention that as well.
But what would you would if they said, would you
conserve petrel? Would you consume? For exciting day at Bluff
schol other kids got gunged? What now was down filming it?
I picked up a very excited one. I didn't pick
up a very excited child walks his way home and
tell me all about it? So good on what now

(03:58):
for coming to the country's second my southern primary school.
I thought it was a good thing because often Bluff
miss is out on things like that, so I thought
that was superbs. Anyway, big tick to them young Denver
Reckons he might be on the TV. I see you
didn't come across two cock. He said, Well, anyway, get
in touch thirteen past eight if you want to talk.
But yeah, how would you go if they said use

(04:19):
les petrol? Would you think, Okay, that's a good idea.
I'm going to use less And we think, oh, how
well they should have planned. It's not my fault. I'm
gonna do exactly what I want. Keep up to date
with the Warriors. Please just kicked off. Well, they say
kicked off, but some people don't want to have the
Warriors because they're at worker. They've got it recorded. I

(04:40):
was Luke Metcalf just scored in the corner. Tenor Boyd
failed to convert its four zip. Who it says on
your thing? Who's scored?

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I've got too many tabs open nurl dot com. Pretty
sure that's who it was. I think it's his first
time back since a Zarkillies. Oh you think it was him?
Look familiar. I'll find out in two ticks or less.
But you get in touch if you want to talk
on here? Would you Putton? Oh wait, one hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to the texts. If

(05:06):
you want to come through, let me have a look
at this Warriors fall back West Tiger's latest play by play.
It was Charms Nickel Klock's daddy scored, So there we go.
I don't know what we went wrong with Tenor Boyd's kick,
but get in touch if your to talk on air? Yeah,
how likely are you? If they said to conserve petrol?

(05:28):
Would you do it? Because I reckon those days of
the peak population doing what the government asks have long gone,
which I think is a sad thing. Or maybe it's
a good thing. You're not wrong. People are cockheads these days.
Of course sensible people would. The problem is these days
no one thinks anything affects them. I say, let the

(05:49):
price ride and people pay for what they need. Could
even diean This is Marcus.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Welcome, Hi, dear Marcus. Yes, well, I actually have tried
not going out so much, and I saved myself A
cost me seventeen dollars for the fortnight to chop my
car up.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
You spent seventy dollars fuel in a fortnight.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
One seven one seven, Yes, and it was just to
go and get my groceries and go to Walworth and
the other one around the road here at New World.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Are you still Are you still socializing? I don't know
if you're old, but they say when you get old,
some am old. Yes.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, I had the lady from the hospital here today
and she thought, yeah, she was wondering about that too.
So I think they're going to see if they can
get somebody to come and visit me because I'm giving
two isolated.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, I think it might begin audio and I'm talking
to you. How are you going there, Diane. Nice to
hear from you and that will have sparked upper.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
But yes, yes, it's good for you.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, no, yeah, no, mister Diane. Yeah, anyway, that's good.
That's good the cognizant of that, because I'd be right, yeah,
because there's no you've done enough for this country. You're
probably making bullets during the war or something, were you.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh no, I wasn't in the war.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
The Vietnam War.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
I mean, oh yes, I remember they went to the
guys went to Malaya.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
And the Malaya incident. Yes, but you know, don't you?

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Is it I met I met them coming back on
a boat from the North Island because I had a
working thing up the North Island. But I met quite
a lot of those ave people. Yeah, I'm still friends
with some of the well, one particular one on the
and his wife on the on the internet.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Now tell me something, Diane, When you just spend seventeen
dollars a week, is that because you're trying to save
fuel for the country or because it was too expensive
and you can't afford it?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
No, that was one seven for the fortnight. Yes, a fortnite. Well,
it's too so anyway, because it's gone up to three
dollars and thirty four cents. On three dollars thirty four cents,
you get a bit of a discount if you go
to war worse.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, Well, hop niicoler Willis is hearing that the pensions
actually not are isolating. There's real replications for isolating. I
find that some weeks Bennet's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
You give it, Marcus. I think that's the worst thing
the government can do is to you to cut back
on your fuel usage because.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Because for you, it's not for you. It's normally opposite week,
isn't it.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
No, Well, it's not like I'm going to go use
e small gas markets because the price is too expensive
if I go refill any But that's when that happened
in Aussie, Marcus, and the line to the gas station
was two kilometers long. Everyone started filling jury cans. So
I think that's the worst thing they can do. Do
what well they told amn Aussie they said you might

(08:56):
want to cut down because rationing could be coming.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Well, the ration they just said people should voluntarily use
less that the rastioning word wasn't mentioned.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
Yeah, but it was an Aussie Marcus, and next minute
the line to the gas station was two k's long
and everyone was calling up Jerry Ken. So I think
that's the worst thing they could probably do, because it's
just inside panic blind.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Were you okay calling them Jerry Cans? Is it racist?

Speaker 7 (09:20):
No, Jerry Can for the lawnmar That's what I've always
called it.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, well do just where does it that comes from?
The Germans? Does it calling them Jerry's?

Speaker 7 (09:28):
I suppose yeah, okay, well, guest kin, whatever you want
to call it.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, no, just thinking about that, just to always try
and drive au by the phone traffic eight zip. Jacob
Laban has scored. I didn't see it as too immersed
in the excitement with Ben. I'll call it like I
saw it, short play Tanner boyd forward pass. It'll go
to review and it'll be just disallowed. That's my pit.
But I don't know. It's a bunker confirmed it Should

(09:54):
we be calling it the bunker? Sounds a bit worry too,
doesn't it.

Speaker 8 (09:57):
Evening?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Mike?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
Yeah, hi Marcus. How are you this evening?

Speaker 10 (10:01):
Mike?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I'd be an eight?

Speaker 9 (10:03):
Oh got a nine?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
No, one doesn't ten?

Speaker 9 (10:07):
Okay, Yeah, I'll be seven.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
I think what would make you? What would make you
a ten?

Speaker 9 (10:12):
Well, I think there's impossible in the wild.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Really well, yeah, I think I went I went to
a psychiatrist. What they said? They said, how are you?
And I said, and she said, what would make your teen?
I thought it was a really good question. But I thought,
well that would wreck the whole scale. I mean, I
want ten to be just up there, like something that's unachievable.

Speaker 9 (10:31):
Well, who would that be? In history? Winston Churchill?

Speaker 11 (10:34):
He was.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
He was a miserable. He was drunk most of the time,
wasn't he.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
I wasn't there, but I don't think. I don't think.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I don't think he was very happy.

Speaker 9 (10:46):
What about Muldoon? Do you think he was a ten?

Speaker 12 (10:49):
No?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Maybe a two? He was, He's a better old guy.
I wonder he was a grizzly and thin skinned. Is
like Trump without the humor?

Speaker 9 (10:59):
Yeah? No, Anyway, Now, I was I've got a contact
from just of South Africa and Namibia and we were
sharing information the other day. And I haven't been looking
at the war situation, but from what I can gather
and what I was told, these fuel hikes have come

(11:21):
about because of Iranian sea bomb mining of is it
the Oman Sea? The golf? Is that where it's all
come from, the mined the Omen?

Speaker 3 (11:37):
See, yeah, I think it's called the Persia Gulf, which
goes through this straight right. Have you heard them talk
about the Straight of hor Moves. It's almost like a
drinking game, they've mentioned it so often. The Straight of
hor Moves is the pinch point between the Persian Sea
and the Gulf of Oman, not the Gulf through Obaran.
That's why I'm going for the star.

Speaker 9 (11:54):
But yeah, yeah, that's right. And so those oil loaded
ships they can't get through to supply the rest of
the world.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
And you don't need a contact in Namibia to tell
you that. You your neighbor would have told you that
that's that's that's gulf one I won huh.

Speaker 9 (12:11):
But anyway, Oh, just to cut in, I recall back
with the global economic what was it back in two
thousand and eight, Oh, the.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Pet that was the what was they called that? The
financial what was that? The financial crisis? The Global Financial
Crisis GFC. It was the GFC, and that's right.

Speaker 9 (12:34):
It was preceded by I don't know two three, maybe
four months of oil hikes, and there were even ships
parked out out in the water off America waiting for
the price to gorop before they're coming and unloads so
they can get a bit of price. I clearly remember that.
And so then inflation came in, cost of freight, everything,

(12:56):
everything just blew.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
But there wasn't There was a subprime mortgage crisis as well.
The whole of cheap loans had been bucketed up and
sold off to people and they all got called in. Remember, no,
I don't recall that.

Speaker 9 (13:08):
But anyway, you know what the Persian Gulf and the
CFO man or whatever it is. My my opinion is
that a thirteen year old boy scout in America, they
had maybe six months of historical knowledge of military tactics,

(13:28):
would know that someone like Iran would mine the whole
Persian golf.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
And I'm disappointed with that's that's invasion when I won.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
I'm disappointed with the response from the United States military,
the British military, and everyone else, because surely they are
trained and.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
They have British military hasn't done most they've even got involved.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
Yeah, well, I'm surely the American military would.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Okay, I'm going to move on, Mike, because I want
to tell people Adam Pompey head High ten in the bin.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
He did it.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
He's in the bin. Pompy ten warriors are up. We
are talking. Would you save fuel if you were told to?
Because once upon a time we would. I don't reckon
we would now I reckon. People are a little bit
I don't even know what the right word is, like
when you do the opposite of what you're told to do.
By the way, they've released the toll price for the

(14:24):
Papa Moa East Interchange. It's going to be a dollar ten.
I don't really know where it goes. I'll be looking
at maps. It says that Todonga is growing and changing fast.
The par par moer areas expect to grow significant over
the next twenty increasing by about forty thousand people. So
point of the growth means need to build additional infrastructure,
including transport options. So that's what they are doing. I

(14:45):
can't exactly see where it goes, but that's going to
head into Townlet it cost you extra. Oh, there it's going.
Don I hoo'd be using it. I find the roading
of Todong are really confusing. Yeah, the par par Moer
East Interchange is a full Diamond into change providing access
to Totonga Eastern link from Labor to Para Palmer East,
which improves connections for these communities with tong A CBDMUPM

(15:06):
Monging Dipocky. I don't even know what a diamond interchanges
dollar ten each way. It's ten bucks a week and
your fuels up. But would you cut down if you're asked, Marcus?
It's definitely not as simple as just saving fuel. I've
just spent under three hundred this week and none of
it was travel that wasn't needed from running elderly relative

(15:27):
to the doctors and work. It's on fotune just what
it is to do the opposite of what was expected. Contrary?
Are we all contra contrariy sounds different from what it
is A I always think contrary sounds wishy washy, But
it's not that good evening Marcus. Who can drink ten
liters of petrol and survive? Jerry can extremely good dad joke,

(15:50):
probably one of the best. Jake says petrol should be
three seventy per meters full time do away with a
Carraen motorcycle registration have it included the price of petrolong
with percentage that is allocated to loading infrastructure. The more
driving you do, the more pittful your purchase.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
I don't know which part of the political spectrum jake'son,
but that's a pretty earth shadowing one, isn't it. Just
text it to heaven back if you want to talk
about the toll road also, that's on the cards. That's
something you could talk about, Marcus. I've been trying to
get my hands on a one hundred liter tank so
I can continue to run my truck if there is
a shortage. A guy in marketplace who's selling it has

(16:30):
already sold fifteen this week alone. Each holds one hundred liters,
so things are getting desperate. He lives in Gore. I
know that because my mate gav wid to buy a couple.
He needs the fuel because he's going gold mining.

Speaker 13 (16:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I was talking to him about that. They're the food
grade ones, aren't they know why they are in Gore?
But yeah, he went and bought a couple. They're worth
a hundred bucks, did he say? I was asking how
much they worth. I think a lot of the you
see a lot of them. The lot of the mutton
birds take him down. I think for water tanks or
maybe fuel tanks. If you've just joined us, Welcome, Welcome,

(17:02):
Welcome ten zero the warriors over the tigers. Tigers are
without Lewai. He's injured. It's fifteen minutes gone, a quarter
of an hour in the so strike conditions at Ericson.
It doesn't appear to be wet at all, unlike many
last night. Wow, that was a tempest, Tasman tempest.

Speaker 14 (17:24):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
By the way, the power has gone out at North
Harbor and play has been halted. Held is thirty nine
on one of PACIFICA nineteen Marcus. Probably the majority do
not realize just what the cost of living will rise
to as the rest of the world deals with the
oil crisis. As they say, we not see anything yet,
but most live in their heir and now the cost

(17:45):
of petrol will be insignificant to total inflationary costs. Wow, Marcus,
I think it's called oppositional defiance. Yeah, that's the right
term for it, isn't it. People are so defiant now, Marcus.
I am an earth mover and our fuel ball has
gone up thirty grand a week. Not much we can
do about it. The country is to keep working. Let's

(18:08):
the straight open soon and it comes back down. Yeah,
I can't see any way the strait will open because
their terms are too far apart. And that's deliberate because
then they can send in the ground troops and say, oh,
we've tried negotiating but it failed, and the ground troops
will attempted, perhaps to try and extract the uranium to

(18:31):
airlifted out. That would be a hell of a mission.
Hell of a mission. But we've got a Jerry Kang
joke and that's all that matters to me. Be in
touch if you're on talk, Mikey bebban long at twelve.
Goodness gym is away for a month.

Speaker 13 (18:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Someone sent me a picture of an all tank of
being destroyed in the straight of hor Moves. I'm pretty
sure that's AI. Doesn't look real. A lot of AI
slop out there, isn't there. Good evening, Jim, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (18:58):
Hello Marcus, long time no talk. How are you tonight?

Speaker 3 (19:01):
For a good Thank you, Jim.

Speaker 15 (19:02):
It's the story. I'm out traversing the streets of Auckland
looking for customers in my electric car, which is still
only costing these seven dollars to charge.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Has Uber changed their rates? You're an Uber driver obviously.
For those that don't know, have Uber changed that? Have
Uber changed their rates since the price of pictures has
gone up?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
I don't think so.

Speaker 15 (19:25):
They're pretty stingy here in New Zealand. They have another
parts of the world, but not here.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Not their rates to you, but the rates they charge.

Speaker 15 (19:33):
Well, that's a good point. They may well have done,
but they certainly haven't been passing it on.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Okay, you wouldn't know, would you, because it's surge pricing,
isn't it.

Speaker 15 (19:45):
Well, it's only surge pricing when there's an event one
when otherwise typically if they someone pays ten dollars, I
get seven dollars and that's for a standard fare. Sure,
so I don't know if they've put that standard rate up.
We'll not make sure. You should ask a.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Customer and find it, but the summer might let there
is a customer.

Speaker 15 (20:12):
Yeah, but certainly the EB is a way to go
at the moment. Mate, it's cost of fuel.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Have you noticed that things are quieter with people having
this disposable money because of the money they're spent on fuel.

Speaker 15 (20:28):
Actually, no, I believe it or not. I've done a
few nights this week and it's been busy.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 15 (20:35):
Really strange, I'm not looking forward to going and my
wife and I going away in our motor home and
a few weeks for a month or so down to
your part of the world. And that's going to be
a little bit expensive, but I guess it is.

Speaker 9 (20:50):
What.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
It urps to shame you can't actually pick up a
swap a motor home because a lot of it's going
to be just driving down, isn't it.

Speaker 15 (20:59):
Yeah, but that's part of the fun, mate, it's you know,
it's your own little house. You say you want it.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
I guess. So what what would a motor home?

Speaker 10 (21:08):
How many?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
How many liters for one hundred ks?

Speaker 16 (21:13):
So ours is.

Speaker 15 (21:15):
Ours a three liters diesel like it's twenty sixteen, and
that does about eleven liters for one hundred k's.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
That's not bad.

Speaker 15 (21:25):
So well, it's about the same as a Ford Ranger.
But those things are just us anyway. But yet hold
eighty liters, so get about seven hundred odd ks for
ten It used to cost about one hundred and forty
dollars to fill it. But God knows what it's going

(21:46):
to cost now like two hundred and forty.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, well, yeah, you're right. I think it's doubled. Yep,
it seems to be about fifty to sixty percent. I
think mine was one ten up to one sixty. So yeah, okay,
there's nothing.

Speaker 15 (21:59):
I mean, it is what it is, isn't.

Speaker 11 (22:01):
You can't.

Speaker 15 (22:01):
You can bitch and moan about it, but it ain't
going to change it.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Well you can't, I mean you can't. You can't up
in the straits of her moves through willpower.

Speaker 15 (22:11):
Well no, no, no, you can't. And that idiot with
the orange face, he doesn't know what he's doing. So yeah,
interesting to see what happens.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Ye, not to talk, Jim, thanks so much. Twenty three
to nine. Slightly worried about the Warriors. The Tigers have
gained a bit of a momentum in the last twenty minutes.
They had the Pompey sent off and then they've now
scored to try. It's ten to four and they've had
the rubb of the Green. So I don't know if
a halftime chat six and six minute time is going
to do it. But they need to pick up their actor.

(22:44):
But because they're not going great guns just but just
lost some of their patents. That would be my tic
jock mad with the kick out to see if he
can convet this. It's right on the sideline, so here
he goes unsuccessful. Ten four, someone says Mark has just
gotten an email about fuel phases. Interesting rural nurses and

(23:05):
doctors down the bottom of the bands. So this is
an important, an official document. I'm just trying to click
on it and see what it actually offers as far
as contingencies go. It's a bit complicated for me to
just a DeVault to digest it all now. Of course,
you also don't know if things have been said around,

(23:25):
if they're pranks or not, because there's so much misinformation
out around now. Next Marcus, it'll be panels on oil tankers. Marcus,
it's Mike. Have you tried to mcgriddle yet? Just plain?
But it can be adventurous with the egg. I tried
it with the bacon and the egg and the I
didn't like it. I thought the griddle themselves was nice,

(23:46):
but I thought there was too much maple syrup, which
is a taste I find too full on. But I'll
take your advice and I'll go back and tie it
just with the plane. Didn't know that was an option,
but either onto something. But I always like the muffins.
But yeah, there we go that mcgriddle. So I have
done that nineteen away from nine. So just the question
for me, if the government says, in a week's time,

(24:08):
if we ask us to use less petrol, would you
do that? Would you think? Hang about I need to
do this for the sake of the country and for
the trades people that need the diesel. Is that something
that you would try and do? Here they've scored again.
Now the Tigers. Yeah, I knew they'd got the rod.
This was about. This could be our bogie team. They've
totally dominated the second half of the first half and

(24:29):
the crowd looks stunned. It's ten eight kick to come.
I think about the front set. We'll go into the
shed's level. Oh well, it's going to be a full
to earth? Is that the right expression? Hello? Wayne, it's Marcus, Welcome,
Hey Mark you tonight? Good thank you? Wayne?

Speaker 17 (24:46):
Yes, what the price of these was the same as petrol?
The government has not said there you see that we
pay on diesels as well.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
How come diesel used to be about a third of
the price of petrol announcer say, what happened? How did
that change so much?

Speaker 17 (25:03):
I don't know, but the are U see basically, when
you had r U seeds on a diesel vehicle, it's
the same as Evy, the same price as Setral. How
when you work it out, it's around about four dollars
and five cents a liter when you had the RU
season as well. But I did a rough working out
the other night.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
People was the same Wayne, how much did you work
out that the road user charges per liter of diesel three.

Speaker 17 (25:30):
Hundred and ninety four dollars for two thousands? But that
and a half and you do it and worked out
or worked out what fer perd K have worked out
on seats Wise, then I worked out that you used
to do about six seven hundred cas in a diesel
car and you takes about eighty five sixty five to

(25:55):
seventy liters of diesel. So yeah, I worked it out
through that calculation wise that way that heads up when
you headed it's likes.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
A liter and how much? So you saying that, you
say how much is a leader of diesel at the moment?

Speaker 17 (26:12):
Three dollars and thirty sixteenths and tough fats are the
same as the petrol.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
So you're you're saying you're pretty much putting seventy cents
per liter on diesel and road users charges.

Speaker 17 (26:22):
Yep, it's about right. Yeah, whereas it was the North
Post diesel the same Ecstasy petrol. That's why. Yeah, you seeds,
we used the down vis of Saint price. Why are
we paying our U seeds as well? Because the government
still gets the same take back.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
What's your what's your Gigwayne? What do you use your
diesel for?

Speaker 9 (26:42):
Ah?

Speaker 17 (26:43):
That's just my personal car, but I'm also a track driver.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
If we were punished twice, are you having diesel remorse
for buying a diesel car?

Speaker 17 (26:52):
No, because it has a been arranged as the petrol car.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Do you need the range?

Speaker 17 (26:57):
Well, if you're doing long range trips, it's a lot
easier on you, and.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
It's well you can you can always fill up as
you go.

Speaker 17 (27:05):
Yeah, yeah, but you can get a further way before
we have the full up.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I got to that.

Speaker 17 (27:10):
My other car is both by the cars the six clitis,
so yeah, they're not.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Exactly Your range has ever been important to me?

Speaker 17 (27:18):
Yeah, it's always been a putt to me to see
how big. You can get on the take again.

Speaker 9 (27:22):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (27:23):
Becual when you're in a trucker. When you drive trucks
all the time as well.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
You're always we think, I don't need to stop. Plenty
if you're all not stopping now, plenty left, plenty in
the tank.

Speaker 17 (27:31):
Yeah, yeah, thanks the thanks for being the truck driver.
I could drive for five and a half hours before
having a break, so we have my thoughtful car like
I go. I could do five and a half hours
and debate without stopping, so I don't want to stop.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
At least I have brilliant way. That's been good to
talk to. Thank you, Marcus. Everyone's buying a put of
diesel vehicles because they're cheap to run to the government.
The price of diesel up around the early two thousands.
EU sees are three ninety two for five thousand. K's
private car, evening Marcus here and Marston. We have Z
and coltich zed both brands and they set the pump

(28:08):
prize for both Z. For both Z tweets, it's chuber
than Celtics, which one hundreds apart. If that ain't price fixed,
I don't know what is. What's the chance to let
us get through east Ota boost tourism, then they hit
us where it hurts. What's the bet? What's the bet?
Get in touch if you want to. So what's happened
at the rugby at my? Oh? Did we lose to

(28:30):
Finland and the football down? I guess we probably did.
We're still down one nill go forever those matches. Now
Highlanders are playing more on a Pacific or at North
Harbor Stadium, but there's been a power cut to one
of the towers and they've stopped the game. Plays been halted,
although I think now they are saying on the New
Zealand Herald update that the lights are back on and

(28:52):
the players doing the best to stay warm. I thought
it was twenty five degrees in Auckland today. The referees
engaged in conversations with both managers. Tigers are scored again,
but we do not seem to be anywhere close to resumption.
One light tower remains off. They were seeing with that
officer more like it. The delay seems to relate to
the lack of TV coverage, so the TV tower's gone also.

(29:15):
It's terrible, isn't it. This is the end of the world.
They can't play the rugby because the tower's gone. There's
no diesel. What about butter? Is that so expensive? Probably
is twelve from nine? Get in touch? Ten from nine.
The tigers are up sixteen to ten. That's a disaster. Yeah,
so it's hope that there's some spark in the dressing

(29:37):
room at halftime and Webbo gets them going again. Sheep, Now,
get in touch with your talk on air. How if
the government said useless petrol? Would you be inclined to
use less? Or have you inclined to go the other way? Marcus?
Warbirds over one announcement? Interesting, I've heard nothing about Warbirds
over Wonica. What have I missed? What's the warbird's announcement?

(29:59):
I've heard nothing?

Speaker 13 (30:01):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Have you heard that?

Speaker 16 (30:02):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
They've said that? Interesting? And as someone someone pranking me,
Oh here we go, it's in the ODT. Thank you
freaking news. Yeah, well I thought that would happen and
I've been predicting it. Warbirds over are Warnica? Warbirds over
Warnica organizers have announced the air show will go ahead
without any modern military participation. That includes the headlining US

(30:29):
Air Force F two to two rept To Display team.
The air show, which begins on Good Friday, was set
to host planes from the Thanks for that. The person
gave me a heads up on this too. By the way,
from the ODT the Oddity. The air Show, which means
begins on Good Friday, was set to host planes from
the r n DDAF, u is afr AF Australia and
the Royal Singapore Air Force. The announcement was made in

(30:52):
a post to social media. We're organized to see the
decisions could be out of their control and they're only
informed on Friday afternoon world events and their impacts, and
you sit and out behind the decision. While it's a blow,
especially having the fast jets, the Warbird team still has
a Peck program which will wow the thousands hundreds of
commodos expressed their frustration with the news, asked for clarity
over what planes would be pulling out and I follow

(31:13):
up post. Organizers said tickets would not be refunded and
they will work on a new schedule that would be
posted on the coming days. No raptors not only in
using an air force done of the Australian Air Force,
done of the USA Air Force, done of the Singaporean
Air Force. In fact, the US Air Force were in
the Hercules around Northland today doing trials. Heard it here first.

(31:36):
Thanks for their heads up. Appreciate that seven to nine.
If you've just joined US announcements that the Air Forces
have pulled out of warbirds over one, that's the raptors
and others. I can tell you too that the warriors
are behind sixteen ten. I could also tell you that
I'm getting a lot of texts from people that are
obsessed with how far their car can go. For me,
it's never been a concern, but I wonder if I'm

(31:58):
missing out. Someone text tig I gauge how far my
vehicles will go on a single tank. Have done it
all twenty three cars I've owned in four decades. Marcus,
We're to twenty twenty VW diesel van seventy five liter tank.
We got seven fifty seven hundred and seven fifty k's

(32:19):
on a tank with road user charges at seventy six
dollars per thousand k's that adds between fifty three and
fifty seven dollars per tank on top of the price
of diesel at seventy five liters tank, that's seventy three
cents per litter. Just drove past a fuel station Hamilton
and diesel is three forty five, so with RUC road

(32:41):
user charges that's four dollars eighteen marcus. People I work
with are trying to save fuel, but not for the
technive good, so much more to save money. It's pretty
much five minutes to anywhere in Blend him so walking
and biking are good options. Those living rurally are and
picked at a Renwick are more restricted with options. There
isn't a good public transport in the region. That's from Gilly.

(33:05):
That's the news there for you people. But a lot's
happening tonight. A lot's happening. Have the All Whites lost
one mill in the end Dan two minutes ago it
is still one nill. And the situation at North Harbor
Stadium where one of Pacifica are playing the Highlanders, one
or two of the towers went out in the game

(33:26):
couldn't go ahead because it wasn't enough light. They've got
it fixed, but the game has not been broadcast because
there's not the power for the broadcast center. It's nineteen
thirty nine to the Highlanders. But you'd be annoyed if
you're on Sky and that was your local match. You're
obsessed about that and you weren't getting it because the
haven't maintained the towers. Is there artied or council so

(33:50):
cheapest creepers. Interesting times in the football and Eden Park
against the All Whites, Finland have scored again. There are
ten ahead of us in the world rankings, but they've
gone two nil up over the All Whites. Funny enough,
not funny enough, but surprise enough. Finland have never been
to a World Cup and we have been three times

(34:13):
Spain but was it Barcelona in Spain? I think? And
then South Africa with the vuvuzelas I remember that World Cup,
and now of course the World Cup this year, which
is going to be in Canada, in the United States
of America and Mexico. Welcome Peter Tate past nine. If
the government asked you to oh a couple things, and
the government asked you to conserve fuel, would you or

(34:36):
would you do the opposite if you could afford to.
By the way, warbirds over Warnica or the jets so
the Air Force, so all the Air Force planes will
no longer attend. How do you feel about that, Marcus?
Since the lead aircraft on coming to the one aic
of war birds? Do you know if we can get
a refund. The only reason for us was the going
was the F twenty twos. They have said in the

(34:57):
ODT there will be no refunds. I'll just confirm that now.
But if you were going that it's a surprise to you.
How do you feel about that the militaries are gone?
This is breaking news. Reaction was mixed. Some people said
the event would no longer be worth attending. But there's
no refunds. We only refund if we candle the air show,

(35:20):
which we are not going to do. How do you
feel about that? People? And then will you still be going?
It's going to cost you a lot to get to
with the fuel, to get in touch if you want
to talk about that. That's the plans stand oh, eight
hundred eighty eighty nine to anything, and you want to
if you're a banger about the old straight of or
news or moves or anything else, I'm up to that.

(35:41):
But the One show no longer happening, and get in
touch if you want to be on here tonight? Maname
is Marcus? Welcome? Hi Peter?

Speaker 13 (35:48):
Will they cancel they Warner Career Show?

Speaker 18 (35:50):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Peter?

Speaker 13 (35:52):
What's all the fuel?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
You know?

Speaker 13 (35:53):
Overyone traveling you know, the military and the US I think, Peter,
can you get me all right?

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yeah, but normally we say hello, oh hello, sorry, h Peter,
what's happening?

Speaker 13 (36:04):
Well, I just thought the jets been canceled at military jets. Well,
military jets are burning before anything happens. It's about twenty
percent of the fuel in America. Apparently they're the biggest
consumer of fuel.

Speaker 19 (36:19):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (36:23):
So are the military planes burning twenty percent of all fuel,
all aviation fuel.

Speaker 13 (36:29):
Well, I'm not sure how it's done that With all
their extra activity, you know, bombing ran and stuff, that's
even more fuel for doing that. And plus taking all
the troops to wherever they're taking them to in the
Middle East, that's extra fuel. The military burns an awful
lot of fuel.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
The word is they won't be cancing the eshoe.

Speaker 13 (36:54):
Well, you know, the thing about you know, voluntary things
is you know, people going overseas. When you think of
the carbon footprint of people, you know, having you know,
to holidays overseas or how many it is, or flying
here or flying there, that's a lot of a lot
of fuel. And then if you're in business, you know,
sending your goods, you know from New Zealand to Europe,

(37:17):
for example, that's a lot of fuel as well. You know,
so if you're an exporter, you know, with the shipping things,
you wonder how long that's gonna last. Did you hear
about Spain getting a.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Ship through Have they been through the hole moves?

Speaker 13 (37:32):
Yes, because they banned the US from using their basis
to bam Ran And they're also talking about getting out
of NATO. Well, so you know New Zealand. Well, the
interesting is of South Korea or.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Sorry, all deals are off the deck as anything goes.

Speaker 13 (37:54):
Yeah, well do you want fuel? Do you want to
be part of America and not yet fuel? I think
that's that's the question.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Have you been using that term a misur in your
conversations today?

Speaker 13 (38:06):
No, no, I've heard.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Have you not managed to drop force mossur into conversation?

Speaker 13 (38:13):
No, I haven't. The only time I've used it in
practice is playing five hundred.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Okay, you know that's laid down, missiir? Isn't it not
forced mosure not?

Speaker 13 (38:23):
MISSI?

Speaker 17 (38:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (38:24):
That's right, you're quite right, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I might try that. I might try I'd lay down
missieur force mosuur. That's when you get out of the contract.
I forgot that one, right, Craig Marcus.

Speaker 20 (38:34):
Welcome force, Missuur Marcus.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Yeah, yeah, I don't quite know how it works. No
I need to do.

Speaker 20 (38:42):
I'm probably really really absolutely brittal in the French language.
But anyway, yeah, it's que interesting with the air show
is still going on. But what I don't know where
per realized is like a lot of the planes of
the air show, because of piston powder or the old
style motors, they actually use guess not jet fuel. Where okay,

(39:03):
piston planes used guess, which is like a like about
a hundred and not one hundred and eight octane fuel
like you put in your car, whereas the turbines like
jet planes and also turbo props use refined kerosene or
a one jit fuels. Touch your kerosene. I always thought
you'd rock up to a like a travel aginger. I've
got a got a bottle of kerosine. They get a discount,

(39:24):
but yeah, they use kerosene and all that along with
the Whisper helicopter is in that like interesting fact I
lend a while ago was the whist the air Air
its helicopters. They burned about three hundred letters of fuel
in an hour, and it's about four dollars of a letter,
so it's about twelve hundred dollars an hour cost of
fuel those things.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
So it's like rockets, aren't they really with about a
fuel they use?

Speaker 13 (39:46):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (39:46):
They are, but yeah, I mean it's like so that's
like the planes that the monacare issue. Whatever the fuel
they use is not really going to be fixed in
JIP planes because they're totally different formulta fuel. But it's
seeming interesting to watch those planes end up in one
time years ago. It's just amazing what they can earn.
Also a little bit scary.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Are you planning on going to the air show, Craig?
Are you a ticket holder?

Speaker 4 (40:09):
No?

Speaker 20 (40:09):
No, I can't afford a ticket holder. I just go
when when they say or one of the other bills
are paid and I can afford to do it.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Okay, I'll talk more about that, but thank you. Bobbitt's
Marcus welcome despondering.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
You're talking about the air showing that all week I've
been flying bombers or look like bomber planes all around Blennin.
They've had some big exercise, so they're not worried about them.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
No, and they are hercules, Is that right, the modern ones?

Speaker 10 (40:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, yeah, And they've been flying around here all week.
They just got land on your roots though that load.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah, and they've beat up around Northland today as well.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Ay, I'm wondering what what's the story with the fuel
for me? And they don't need to be doing that
right at this point of time.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
No, but I guess that's all. Yeah, I guess that's
what air forces do. They need to practice. They need
to keep the Yeah, I don't know, they need to
keep the.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
And then they were saying, oh, what about the holidays, Well,
well why it is the Prime Minister going over to
toler and some more.

Speaker 21 (40:59):
And all that.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Right now, that's not needed. They can be done with
the pace.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
No, what you say is you say you what's what
do you say? Then you do it on zoom?

Speaker 22 (41:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yeah, so what I tried, I reckon they should be
doing the sister cities on zoom. They're saying they're traveling
over to Japeian stuff the citizens, I said, do that
on zoom.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, the day they can waste it, but don't let
us waste any People.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Are asking where Luckson was. We've got a text, where
is Luxon. I think he was at the opening. He
was at the stadium today in christ Church, but he's
they're not putting him to front anything.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
And you know, just quiet beyond that stadium. They had
so many people to hide the cleaner stadium and the
council were going to hire them, but they counsel didn't
want to pay them the living wage. So that contracted
the cleaning out to a company that's not going to
pay the living wage. I want to tell that all
about really yeah, yeah, and that was today's news. But
the council council will hired the cleaners.

Speaker 13 (41:55):
The cleaners.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
They didn't want to take new cleaners on with a
living wage and they kicked that and so what they
did was a contracted it out to a contractor and
now they're not going to pay the living waves for
the cleaners. You can check that on on all your
news devices where you get your infa from. But you'll
find that's correct. And anyway, now there seems to be

(42:16):
a lot of government wait wasted. That's all right for
them to do it, but don't dare us think about doing.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
It if you cut down on fuel, Bob, I.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Don't use much anyway, mate, I just walk around. I
do want to go to Rude to visit my mother.
Do you go, my sister?

Speaker 10 (42:31):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 2 (42:31):
To visit my mother? And how old she eighty eighty
eight eighty nine? Well, and still very much alive. But
of course I don't want to get down there. And
the government turn around and say, well, we're going to
minimize the amount of fuel you can use. You can't
go back to until we give you some more death.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Is that what people are thinking?

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Well, no, that's what I thought. I thought, you know,
because if they keep going on about we're going to
get fuel from Singapore, We're going to get it from Astralia,
We're going to get it from South Korea. Hang on
a minute. Singapore is not delivering any guests in anyone
because that's short. South Korea is certainly not going to
be delivering any gas in the future. They are very short.
And Australia have got gas stations running out all over
the country. Why do they think they're going to send

(43:12):
it to us?

Speaker 3 (43:13):
It's not good, is it?

Speaker 2 (43:14):
No, it's the government just lies to you. I hate
that woman who do you hate? Gets on there with
a lipstick too far and winging the moons away and
tells us a creat pack of eyes and we're supposed
to believer.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Okay, good, but then we say hate But thanks Bob,
get in touch, oh way, one hundred and eighty ten
eighty Yeah, here's the text. Whereas Luxon has he already
taken up a new offer overseas, maybe rest the world's
leaders showing concern ours crickets and silence where the ground
swell guys needed now more than ever. Just filled the
truck with diesel, had a quarter of attack eight hundred

(43:49):
and fifty seven dollars. As far as the air show goes, Marcus,
no refunds. I feel scammed. We paid for something we
are not getting. Please congratulating nan A. Booton on her
exit reading of news lifts her voice head of sentences
while others report us to one of their last words.
Congratulates Nina, cheers Mary. Where is Simon? What the energy

(44:10):
minger Minister? And more importantly, why is he's silent? Worldwide?
We have leaders speaking up, not ours. He still wants
to live and work in the USA and the future,
maybe even by the end of the year. I guess
if he doesn't improve, that's the texts get in touch.
We are talking about if you're asked to save would you? Marcus?

(44:30):
I told you weeks ago this was happening with the
Warnaka Air Show. We have friends in the know. Yes,
but the organizer rang me and assured that they're all going,
and you can't say they're still all gonna be there
if you're you couldn't do that, could you? Someone says Marcus.
I was wondering if the old companies have watered down
the diesel because it seems like it doesn't last long

(44:51):
as long as it did before the price hike. Marcus,
the USA is sending three boats of diesel and jetful
to Australia, corded to Australian media. I wonder if we
buddy up to Trump and send a plane lever like
Australia has he ebbed some boat to our way as well.
The brother Johnny twenty past nine, here til twelve people,
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty. It's a lot happening.

(45:13):
Take a break. That person is still missing in Cromwell.
He is a French backpacker, but they've found a sandal
that belonged to him, a gray rubber sand on the
shores of Lake Dunstan. I didn't realize he was from France,
but that sounds ominous. They's just been announced through about
five minutes ago that story has come through. We are

(45:35):
talking about people. A lot of countries have gone to
a four day week. When they say they're gone to
a four day week, the government has put their workers
on a four day week and have encouraged private sector
to do that as well. I don't know how you
feel about that. I would have thought if you went
to a four day week, then probably it's a longer
weekend and people would be doing something with that. But
if you're too at the four day week, if that

(45:55):
you think that's a good idea also, and if you
are thinking about what you're doing about food security, if
you're going to start gardening and stuff like that, because
diesels required to transport everything around. A lot of the
discussion today was saying it could get really bad before
it gets better, and it'll make COVID look like a

(46:18):
Christmas picnic. But that depends on a lot that's going
to happen. But it's hard to know. It's hard to
quite know how this one's going to play out. It
was supposed to be ever in four days now. It's
been a month and the only probably I guess, positive
news that it could be coming to conclusion is they're
making out that it's quite a big deal what they've done,
when they've actually managed to eliminate the strategic guy who's

(46:40):
doing all the who's just looking for the word, who's
running all those operations in the Gulf, who's the guy
that's getting it all together, controlling it all, planning all
that sort of stuff. So but I'm sure there'd be
somehow that could replace it. He's been all the contingencies there.

(47:02):
But look, if you want to talk, it's twenty four
past nine. All the lines are free. Sixteen ten the
Tigers over the Warriors. The Warriors have had two tries.
I say they've had two tries just allowed. There's been
twice they've gone up to the bunker and they've come
back and said it's not a try. But they really
have been playing well the second half to haven't managed
to penetrate, no doubt. We'll be talking to people on

(47:24):
the way home from that. The ericson faithful. But if
you want to talk now of text or call, that
would be good to hear from you. There is something else.
I did want to talk a bit about the Papamoa
toll road. The tolls have been released for that, like
a dollar ten a day. Seem quite reasonable to me
and warbirds over Warnica that has been They've made the

(47:44):
announcement today that there will be no jets, none of
the no military planes will be there now. I don't
know if that's because of optics, or because they're needed
in the Gulf, or because the amount of fuel they
go through. I don't quite know what's happening there if
you want to talk about that also too, But as
you can probably realize that all the lines are free

(48:04):
if you want to come and have you say tonight,
I'm looking forward to your input. I've put it on
our Facebook page that woman that made the Fijiara jelly
from the skins, I should put the recipe up there
as well. I will try and find that a bit
later on when I've got some spare time too. So,
but get in touch if you want to be on air. Yeah,
you wonder if it does get bad with the fuel,
how the people will feel about all those gin palaces

(48:26):
heading out of the Marinas. Although I guess it is winter,
but still you know, if it does get bad, will
people really have that situation where they are judgment of
other people using DSL recklessly. It's hard to know what
to say about that. You might want to copy about
that too, But do come through if you want to
talk on air. As I say, oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty, if you want to be a part
of keep those texts or emails coming through with anything

(48:48):
you want to get in touch with us about. It'd
be nice to hear from you. Mikey Beban long from
twelve o'clock tonight, who are heading home from the football.
I'd be curious to know how many people were there tonight.
That's an Eden park. This day in eighteen eighty three
the Sallies came to New Zealand. The two English Salvation

(49:08):
Army officers landed at Port Charmers had a fairy big
role in New Zealand society since then. And this day
in eighteen seventy one, that was the first ever international
rugby match between England and Scotland. And some countries are
going to a four day week. Oh by the way,
they've ended up that fine too. For the Woolworths in

(49:30):
south Toneden, thirty three thousand dollars for the rat infestation.
They pleaded guilty and they needed to. There were one
hundred and ten rat sightings and ten Court don't know
what went wrong there. It feels like it was some
sort of failure of communication with the rat extinguishing group.

(49:51):
Marcus just saw the new christ Church Stadium on the
news tonight. It looks like that in Eden Stadium with
one side without any seats. I thought they would have
had seats all around. Why can't we design a great stadium?
I think the situation why we can't design a great
stadium is because all the councils are looking for a
multi purpose event center. But unfortunately the nature of rugby

(50:13):
doesn't really lend itself to multi purpose event because you've
got a huge era of grass. So yeah, I think
that's just the way it's going to go. And I
don't think they're going to be great venues for concerts,
but maybe it will be. But there's five thousand extra
sat you need to put in that blank area, and
that cost one hundred dollars a seat for the scaffolding

(50:35):
to put that in, to put the temporary seats in,
which does seem crazy but that's the reality. That's what's happening.
And get in touch if you want to be a
part of it. As I say, eight hundred and eight,
Teddy marcuss one Midnight tonight and Mikey Beban from twelve.
If there's something else you want to mention, I guess
a lot of you're watching the Warriors. It's not looking good.
Here's another breakaway for the Tigers. Now they might score this.
I think they probably will. Oh that's heartbreaking. We've lost this, guys.

(51:01):
So yeah, it's twenty minutes left to go. We're down
twenty to ten. Oh, that's not good at all. And
there aren't there's some loan Tigers fans in the crowd
at one Media stadiumor go Media Stadium. Yeah, it's going
to be a long drive home for some of that
worry of faithful. I wonder if the odd announcement of

(51:23):
two of ours a sick should have been saved. If
that's disturbed the players. He looked at it, rattled himself.
I thought, I can't watch it anymore, but hopefully you
can give be a holler. That guy doing is that
his name? Seems to be having a blinder. Get in
touch if you want to talk, it's not good with
the warriors. Twenty to ten are the Tigers leading at
the stage, Pauline, this is Marcus. Hello and good evening

(51:44):
and welcome Marcus.

Speaker 12 (51:46):
Thank you just off the cuff, I too think I
enjoy listening to Nina reading the news. She's very clearly spoken,
and it's a pleasure to listen to it. Totalsure, Yes,
it's the government decide that people need to use less fuel.
What about those companies like refineries and they've got these

(52:10):
enormous containers heated up, and they've got molten metal. They
can't just slow down or use less fuel because they've
got to maintain a certain heat for that job.

Speaker 23 (52:23):
Surely that's right.

Speaker 12 (52:25):
Yeah, thank you for bringing that up.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Okay, I don't know what happened. What companies are we
thinking about?

Speaker 12 (52:31):
Any refineries, any manufacturing areas where they have molten metal,
or they've got to maintain a certain high temperature for
the product they're actually working with and they would need
to continue using fuel, would they?

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Yeah? Yes, It kind of seems to me that we've
never had any contingencies for something which seems to be
quite likely to happen, and in fact it has happened.

Speaker 12 (52:57):
Yes, it's a bit of a shock, which it's what.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
A government's job is to plan for these situations. There
seems to be no vision and no planning.

Speaker 13 (53:05):
No.

Speaker 12 (53:05):
And also if they the air Force have pulled the
aircraft out of that that business down south, I'd say
they're on standby, but they're probably not allot to say, well.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
May this is the Americans as well. But maybe it
was just a really bad lock. Maybe they just thought
it was wrong if we're telling people to use Maybe
the government said, if we're telling people to use less fuel,
we can't really have jets flying around just for just
as a spectator sport.

Speaker 12 (53:31):
No, because it looked bad if the jets went overseas
to the war and they ran out of fuel too. Okay, Marcus,
very interesting program, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
My pleasure, Pauline. But a negle bit of a fight
there at the warriors. Although they're tough, the's tame good
on you there. He's a good captain. The share that
guy and he enjoying him. Now, if you want to
add to what has been said, Marcus, Wednesday next week
will be April one. So why do our government always

(54:02):
enforce changes on April Fool's Day. There are so many
changes coming. They lost count and todd Long. There's already
two toll roads. We don't need another one. Most people
have already go around the long Way to avoid them.
I think that's the plan. If they are changing the
way people drive, that's a good thing. Wouldn't stop and
cruise ships for a while, be a good thing for

(54:22):
the fuel and the environment. By the way, there was
a cruise ship cruising around the coast of New Zealand.
Someone on that has died unexpectedly. If you're on that
cruise ship and are listening, give me a call again, please.
They called last time. But yes, there has been a
mystery death.

Speaker 13 (54:42):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
By the way, in Sydney they've canceled the Fairies because
of deadly coastal conditions. You would think that would happen
very often. The Manly Fairy has been canceled because of
the swells in the harbor, for that was one of
those things that always got through. And the other story
that's interesting for those people that follow broadcasting. I know
that some of you is that Jackie Oh, who's on

(55:07):
air with Kyle, has said she would never work with
him again. Yeah, that's a bit of a late breaker
that one. Anyway, be in touch if you want to
be a part of the show tonight. It would be
nice to hear from you if there's something else you
want to talk. If they've got some other topic you
want to talk about tonight too. Were we with bean salad?
What do you think about bean salad? There needs to

(55:27):
be a big thing for a long time. You want
to hear about it much now. It was never great
because it was good for you. Donald for Muamadou says
refineries and foundries use electricity, not fuel for their smelting. Marcus,
it's a scandal. Our brand new Krostich Stadium has no
red colored seats anywhere. Can't really blame the government for

(55:54):
not planning for this contingency. Isn't that their whole job?
From what we saw on TV, you look like a
low tune out of the football fingers crossed. It will
be a bit of tune out on Monday night. Those
are just joining us news even lost two nil. That's
the football to Finland. A text is also speculating that

(56:16):
it can't be long before they put the price up
on the end of Islander. With the price of oil,
marine fuel, and marine diesel, and other people are asking
for the government to lower the road tax on diesel.
I don't know why that diesel was so much cheaper
than petrol for so long and suddenly it kind of
went up to parity. I haven't managed to work that

(56:36):
one out, so I might have some information about that.
They can explain that to me, that would be appreciative.
But yeah, Ben a touch if you want to talk.
Twelve minutes left to go on the Warriors. They are
behind twenty two ten. So that's been an unspectacular outing
for them for every poor some handling errors and just
some I don't quite know how you to explain all

(56:56):
of that. Oh, let's check on bred crude. Since I've
got a spear moment. That's kind of what I like
to do. Irik is going to be about one hundred
and two. My guess, it's well up. It's one hundred
and nine. Godness me, that's as high as it's been
within the last year. I briefly went to Sorry, it

(57:17):
briefly went to one hundred and eleven, but now it's
gone back up. It was about one hundred even a
week ago, so now it's one o nine twenty away
from ten. If you want to be a part of
the show, people, if you want to talk on this Friday,
free for all, go go, go, go go. Now, get
that back out there and score again. The Rors are
just scored as they needed to. That takes it to
fourteen twenty two. They should be able to convert this.
They won't win, though, And when I say they won't,

(57:38):
when I'm saying that, hopefully that I am wrong. But
they've scored three times. Two of them went allowed. Well
it's not really meaning scored, but you know what I mean. Oh, now,
let me think what else I can tell you tonight.

Speaker 19 (57:50):
To get you.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Oh that's right. I hope you're all right in the
North with your wet homes. I hope no one had
too much flooding or damage. I feel I've got a
cent to how that floods had gone. I saw there
are a lot more people having to be moved to
temporary combination. I thought there's about five hundred talking about
compute commuter chaos and Hamilton with the roundabouts closed. This

(58:11):
is the roundabout the Hillcrest intersection at Martini and Morinsville.
So yeah, they're saying that's called the disaster. I don't
know if that's something that you want to comment on.
I'd like to hear from you about that. Well, you've
got it. If they've got to do roding, they got
to do roading, they got to close things. People need
to be more resilient. And we're not panickings his LUCKX
and his government details fuel plan. Well, I think people

(58:33):
probably would like a bit of panic. And you sail
in first have committed fifteen million dollars towards the christ
Church Cathedral rebuilt if elected. So there you go. That's
what he's done, Allison. It's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 22 (58:46):
It's like Chris Ward and that and that football did
that without him?

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Did you want Did you watch it? Allison?

Speaker 22 (58:54):
No? And I just caught the end of it. But
the chap on seven sharp and I ad a part
about Chris Ford. What fantastic man. He was a parm
He wrote about Chris wod it was absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
Well he's a beloved It is very good scorer.

Speaker 6 (59:07):
Oh yes, very.

Speaker 22 (59:08):
Popular, isn't he your sister? It was connecting with her
sister is amazing. She's absolutely was so good to her
when they were young and they grew up and they
did everything together, and oh, just a wonderful person, isn't he? Yep?

Speaker 3 (59:20):
I think she was a good player too, A very
good player, I think, yes, yep.

Speaker 22 (59:24):
She was when she's young. That's right. She was very
good herself.

Speaker 13 (59:27):
Yep.

Speaker 22 (59:28):
And I just got to say that looks the right
for taking us home in a way and putting on
They took that off tonight and had a double episode. Yes,
but that's what happens when they around the schedule. But
I see tonight they've got this. Who'll be watching that
for an hour and a half? Fergy and that on tonight?
Andrews going on?

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Now we're sick, We're sick of them, sick of them?

Speaker 16 (59:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (59:48):
Why would you want to put that on for an
hour and a half?

Speaker 3 (59:50):
Who's running there?

Speaker 24 (59:52):
What?

Speaker 13 (59:52):
What is it is?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
It is?

Speaker 12 (59:53):
It?

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Is it about what a pesty is?

Speaker 6 (59:55):
Or is it about Yeah?

Speaker 22 (59:57):
Probably it's all about that. I just looked at this,
and why don't they put some old episodes of Beauty
and the Beast would be better? Go back and show
some of those old episode them if some of those
are good, it couldn't they? Well, I think that would
be more interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Well, did I would have watched the Andrew thing if
it showed what a ready.

Speaker 22 (01:00:14):
Well, oh yeah, but you won't go good, go back
in history, all that stuff, going right back, you know,
with Coustark and all that. You don't want to know
all that now. It's sort of god then and gone,
hasn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
Oh I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Yeah, yeah, I don't even know what to say. I mean,
he did seem to be Yeah, he said to be
a bit of a grub.

Speaker 12 (01:00:38):
Time.

Speaker 22 (01:00:39):
I quite liked her because you're so good to the
daughter when when the daughter had that back problem and.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
She but I reckon, she's only around the daughters. If
there was cameras here the rest of the times, she
had nothing to do with them.

Speaker 22 (01:00:51):
Well you wouldn't know, would you. You don't know what
you believe. But if you looked like she was a
real doting mother there and she stepped that night.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
And it was apparently it was all made.

Speaker 22 (01:01:00):
It was all super well, yeah, you see you can
you can't trust what eurek and you're anyway, there we go.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Have you got scoliosis?

Speaker 22 (01:01:08):
No? No, I thot Lidia, how good Lidia coridd in
the in the Gulf, didn't she got.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
The lowest ever. That's what extraordinary?

Speaker 22 (01:01:16):
One one one sung off with Lady one your one
shot off from being the best of all time? Wasn't
it there? But twelve rounder or something? She isn't the moment?

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Yeah, fantastic, extraordinary, love Lydia. Just love her. Put her
on the money, should be on the dollar notes. Tom,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Oh.

Speaker 25 (01:01:32):
Marcus, you just want to call about the wanna get
your show?

Speaker 13 (01:01:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Sure I am.

Speaker 25 (01:01:38):
I seriously consider buying a ticket and going there myself.
And the only reason I was going to go there
was to see that if twenty two's.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Yeah, how much were tickets I don't know, around.

Speaker 25 (01:01:52):
About or there are different grades, so I think general
admission was probably around one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
I think, okay, because you wouldn't see the planes for long,
would you.

Speaker 25 (01:02:04):
Well, there's another thing, so yes, I went onto the
internet and looked at some air shows from overseas on YouTube,
and the public displays with F twenty two seem to
last I don't know, maybe around ten to fifteen minutes
sort of thing, and I just thought there's a long

(01:02:26):
way to travel just to see the F twenty twos
for such a short show. I wasn't interested in anything else.
I just want to see them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
So are they Are they a current aircraft that's part
of the US military?

Speaker 13 (01:02:39):
Are they?

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Are they they in use?

Speaker 25 (01:02:41):
Now, well I'm not I'm not a plane buff.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
But from I said, like it, if you're keen to go.

Speaker 10 (01:02:49):
No, No, not at all.

Speaker 25 (01:02:50):
But from what I can see, from what I've seen
on the incident stuff, the American Air Force have a
sort of a public display team.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
But a PR Yeah, that makes sense, and so.

Speaker 13 (01:03:05):
That's what they that.

Speaker 25 (01:03:06):
That's their sole were the main purpose. It's just for
public performance. So whether whether or not they get called
for active duty, who knows. But you know, if I
if I I'm sure other people would have bought tickets
for the air show, primarily because of the twenty twos
and now they're coming.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Oh absolutely, I've spoken to people. People were excited about.
That was the one thing. People are very excited about that.

Speaker 25 (01:03:29):
Yeah, yeah, so I mean, I I mean I decided
not to because I decided it wasn't worth a sort
of a rarely short performance from the American Air Force
and I decided not to go. So yeah, but I
feel sorry for those who bought tickets.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
I wonder if now a lot of those people think,
okay to drive from christ it just all that fuel.
We won't by the going.

Speaker 25 (01:03:54):
Yeah, maybe it's for forfeit, forfoit the well depend you'll go,
but you forfeit the the admission, the cost of one
hundred bucks or whatever, and you save your Petro cost
for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Yeah, okay, good point, Tom, Thank you, nice to talk.
Thirteen to ten West Tiger's twenty six Warriors fourteen Marcus,
do you have the result of the Hollanders game. The
Holand has won thirty nine nineteen, so bit of a
comeback from a ONEA PACIFICA there. That's the school there.
Oh there's the other things too. I need to talk

(01:04:25):
about bean salad. Yeah, there's some great texts, Marcus. This
is a great recipe for bean salad. One can kidney beans,
one of canaloni beans, one of chickpeas, all drained, Put
in a bowl with finally chopped red onion, and dress
with anabolsomic viniagrette. Delicious. Like KFC ben salad. We buy
low sulfur diesel. Now, I don't know how much about
it costs to refine to that might reflect I see

(01:04:48):
the beach hop in way He and fung a matta
this week in is on and they'll be using mess
amounts of fuel. Surely it could have been postponed for
a later month. KFC lost my support when they just
continue making their iconic bean salad was their healthiest item
on their menu. Marcus, diesel hasn't got the road tax

(01:05:09):
on it. At the pump we pay that tax and
road user charges. That's right, Marcus. We just moved to
Auckland excited to find not just a figo tree on
the sex middle so the whole neighborhood filled with citrus
fijo is even a fig tree. My workmates tell me
fijoa is a hassle because the fijo's for on the
ground on mess end up rotting and sticking up this

(01:05:30):
arresting up the surroundings. What a waste. So many uses
for a big harvest baking fijoa and white chocolate muffins,
or a ginger fijo loaf, and on it goes. Metcalf
shouldn't have come straight back in the team playing out
a position. You don't change your winning team. This is
the start of the slide. Won't make the eight. I
don't know about not making the eight, but yeah, it

(01:05:52):
was a shame to bring Metcalf back like that. The
Newted Warbirds over Warnaker as an example of shrink flation.
People should boycott on mess. Well, they've already bought the
tickets is already sold out. They're saying tickets right to
the end. So the Warriors have lost. They've already updated
the ladder that I can see. Panthers are at the top,
then the Warriors and the West Tigers. So West Tiger's

(01:06:13):
a good team. They've played three to one two this year,
so it goes Panthers, Warriors, West Tiger's top three at
the moment. Of course, a lot can happen, but that
was a yeah, that was a really unimpressive looking situation.
Now here's a great text about diesel, and I'll read this.

(01:06:33):
Diesel used to be clearly cheaper than petrol because it
didn't have the big perleate of fuel tax on it,
and diesel drivers paid that separately through road lose user
charge instead. What changes the New World market? The type
of fuel that becomes diesel and jet has been in
hot demand since COVID, so the basic wholesale price of
diesel has jumped faster than petrol at a week and

(01:06:57):
use it in dollar and carbon costs on top, and
that global price rise flows straight through to our pumps.
So diesel hasn't suddenly been taxed like petrol. The tax
structure is still different. It's the underlying cost of diesel
fuel itself that's gone up so much, that's now setting
close to or even above pet for the pump. The
carbon price that gets battery of leader of fuel isn't
some free market signal. It's a government design market where

(01:07:20):
ministers decide how many units exist in what the price
bands are, and they call that the market. When they
crank down supply or ratchet up future fuel prices that
push it up the carbon price and quite lots petrol
and diesel cost of the pump on top of all
the other taxes and charges. So global diesel prices are
the main driver. But Wellington has effectively built a controlled

(01:07:41):
market that can dialects depressure into fuel prices without ever
having to vote for a straight fuel tax increase in Parliament.
The newted Warbirds over Warnaka as an example of shrinkflation.
I've read that, haven't we people are talking about boycotting it.
But that's not the answer because you already paid your
tickets and the Warriors have lost convincingly. Wasn't good at

(01:08:03):
all from what I could see. It was quite a
difficult watch. And the All Whites have lost. They said
it was a set piece blunder, a defensive laps at
the corner. There's seventh defeat in the last eight outings.
Kind of seems wrong. We are going to the World
Cup to me, and that was the Warriors' first loss

(01:08:25):
to the Tigers in ten matches apparently, but we've lost
to them last year. But yeah, Tiger's thirty two, Warriors fourteen.
So it wasn't just a narrow loss.

Speaker 16 (01:08:36):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Behind the whole second half. We'll get to some people
talking on their way home from it after in the
next hour, hopefully now Mikey's long after twelve. I'm here.
Until then, there's Fesha Harris talking to Benji Marshall. Good
on your Benji, you're doing well as a coach, so
well done for you for that. I guess that's the
one thing we can take out of that. Hey, But yeah,

(01:09:01):
if you want to talk after the news, give us
a call during it. If you want to be a
part of it'd be nice to hear from you, been
Salid if we could talk about that too, that would
be of enjoyable for me. So trade mease. Were all
the Warbirds for Wonica. Tickets are for sale. So that's
what's happening because Warbirds is not what it once was,
because the Jets aren't coming. I want to talk to

(01:09:21):
you if you're coming home for the Warriors tonight too.
That were God, that was just that was the one
thing we had, the one thing we had to be
happy about. I see the manly coach has been sacked
after three losses for a bad start. It's weirdn't it, Damien?
It's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Good evening, Hey, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
Damien?

Speaker 19 (01:09:39):
Just traveling home from the Warriors a little bit, a
little bit point?

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Well, yeah, because I saw they're all there with their
families and Pacific a day and it looked like it
was set for a nice atmosphere there.

Speaker 19 (01:09:53):
Yeah, it was a nice, nice evening, a nice occasion.
There was a lot of hype. I thought, you know,
tonight we're going to put thirty forty on them. But
I suppose you look at Benji Marshall. He knows how
to win in New Zealand, and it looked like you
had those Tigers boys fired up for the evening, especially
down I think it was ten points and then to
lose by eighteen in the end, you've got to take

(01:10:14):
your head off to him.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
Do you think there's a chance that the Tigers could
be a very good team this year?

Speaker 19 (01:10:22):
Well, if you'd asked me before this evening, I would
have said no. But looking at tonight and I still
think we're going to go on and win it. So yeah,
maybe they're going to be in the top eight based
on tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
But it did look like we played. I played really badly.
I was obviously at We're good to see. There's one
stage where the guy just threw it forward at about
five minutes from the end. It was a pass. I
couldn't believe what I saw. But anyway, but it wasn't
wet it was it No, but at.

Speaker 19 (01:10:45):
Least it wasn't those there wasn't It wasn't weint tonight.
At least it wasn't those green fruit cores conchos, you
know that, Yeah, those plastics conchos.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Was Luke Metcalf brought back too soon.

Speaker 19 (01:11:02):
I think so, And I was going to raise that point.
I'm just not sure about playing two sevens. It looked
like it was rushed back. He didn't really touch the
ball that much.

Speaker 24 (01:11:12):
On attack.

Speaker 19 (01:11:12):
He put up some good Gary Owens, but it looked
like it just our attack wasn't really firing on all cylinders.
And metcalf as a class player and there's no doubt
that we need him in the team, but I agree
with you last year, I think he was just rush
back too soon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
We had something going, it seemed to me from what
I could see just watching it on the screen here.
Once the Tigers came back and the first half the
audience went required didn't really carry them home. Was that
what it felt like at the field, was the audience quiet?

Speaker 18 (01:11:43):
It was?

Speaker 23 (01:11:43):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 19 (01:11:44):
Pretty deflating, and you know, I think we weren't used
to that after the first couple of home games. But
I'm starting to wonder, though, is this a classic Warriors
you know, early season, early season warning signs. I think
we failed to reach the playoffs in twenty and nine
and nineteen from memory after leading really really early in

(01:12:04):
the comps. So hope we can do something different this year.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
Yeah, I don't know what to say. I just don't.
I thought this was going to carry me through the weekend.

Speaker 19 (01:12:13):
How do you reckon Mike Hosking's feeling?

Speaker 9 (01:12:15):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
I don't know. I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:12:21):
I hopefully I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
Really, I don't really know much about my I don't
listen to a show because I'm in bed and I
don't know. Yeah, I don't really know anything about Mike.
I've met him twice Worrior, but I don't think he'd
be something. I don't think he's sitting there in the
stands with the people. Is he's watching at home? Right,
He's not like he's.

Speaker 19 (01:12:43):
Been watching from mate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
He wouldn't be okay, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how. I
think it'd be as devastated. I think it's I think
it's passion for the team, as free, genuine.

Speaker 19 (01:12:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
Yeah, I think he'd like all of us. I think
he'd be free. I don't think, No, I don't. I
don't think anybody'll be taking any enjoy in this.

Speaker 19 (01:12:57):
What about you last year? I know you're a passionate
fel Well, I'm at work.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
I couldn't see it but as I say, I thought
this was going to carry me through the weekend. The
fact that we're one were four and zero up the
best start ever. I thought it was that. I thought
my weekend was set. But you can't take anything. You
can't take anything for granted.

Speaker 19 (01:13:14):
Did I hear as well that Seabolt's been sacked from
the sea He's gone. Yeah, that's early in the season.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
They've got a New York owner and he's across here
at the moment. His son's been put on the board.
I don't know who he is, but I guess it's
what happens if you're an overseas person owns it. You
don't care about the culture. You just want I'm gone.

Speaker 19 (01:13:32):
Well, New York famous for rugby league too, so I'm
sure they know what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Very good, David, Thank you. Anyone else driving home from Ericson,
let us know what you thought of that. The Warriors
and the air show. So the air show's gone, the
Warriors are gone, diesels through the roof, the straits of
her moves is inoperable. It's not good times. What are
they gonna call off the oyster? Yeah, wonder what they're

(01:13:57):
gonna do now? The Oyster Festival. I want if people
are going to drive to that and fly down Marcus. Sorry,
just tuned down a usual for us. Thought thought seat
TV one. Prince andrein Fergie not that interested. Wow, I
hope you watch unbelievable smacking viewing. What a creep. I
think we all knew he was a creep. Someone else
that said the Andrew doc o tonight was redated. They

(01:14:19):
called him Prince Andrew. For goodness sake, anyone saw that doc.
I mean, I mean the word was always through as
a total grub. But yeah, you might have watched that.
And the kids are bludgers, and their mother never brought
them up. She'd just be around them when the cameras
were there. Hello from Fanga they I'd love to know
the recipe for KFC bean salad. It was so good.

(01:14:40):
I'll see if I can google it quickly. But need
your calls to heating home from the warriors. I want
to talk about if the government says you're to confuse
to conserve petrol, would you do that? 'll do the opposite,
because I reckon people do the opposite. Copycat KFC bean
salad looks good too. Actually it's too complicated. For me
to read out. It's got wax beans whatever they are,

(01:15:02):
but an apple side of a bit of kosher salt,
but a sugar, but a vegetable. I look quite straightforward.
The check and a bell pepper. I don't like the
fact they're called bell peppers. I call them keepsicums. Is
that guy called him he lush? She like it was
a made of money. Didn't sound familiar. I wonder if
that guy was under a pseudonym, so like someone I knew. Anyway,
fifteen past ten. If you want to be a part

(01:15:22):
of it, eil midnight. If you've watched that documentary on
Prince Andrew, also seems a lot of you have, so
Prince Andrew, the Warriors, the toll roads, and Totong are
the new one you're getting eshow over Wanaka is it
still worth going to even if you've got tickets warriors
and fuel? Would you conserve if you were told to?

(01:15:44):
Because I think these days people do the opposite. And
the Prince Andrew documentary mainly kind of seems to be
a life wasted his life, doesn't he done nothing? Terrible
trading boy, It was all kind of corruption. Terrible prince,
terrible brother probably a fairly poor father, actually might have
been a good father. Your skied, did they and the

(01:16:06):
warriors have lost, and they've lost quite emphatically, if you
want to talk about that. To fifteen past ten and
oil straight, ohare moves. There be ground troops going in
in sixteen days time. That's why Trump's given that extension
to get the ground troops ready. And then they say, oh, well,
negotiations didn't work because they're so far apart, they've got

(01:16:29):
no ru there's no other option than but ground troops
to go and get the uranium, and to protect the
island carg Island or whatever it's got called, and to
protect the coast. Be three missions. Protect the island, attack
the island, protect the coast, and get back the uranium.
It wasn't so serious. It seems like a video game.
Seventeen past ten, Better Brisbane, Brisbane up four n all

(01:16:51):
over the Dolphins. Hello, Sean, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:16:55):
Hey good Marcus, Yeah good shaw.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
Now are you going all right?

Speaker 6 (01:16:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:17:01):
No, I've just been working. Now I'm driving home and
I've got my diesel delivery driveing meat between now and midnight,
the full diesel storage.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Are you a farmer?

Speaker 24 (01:17:15):
I'm a rural contractor.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:17:17):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 24 (01:17:19):
You know you look at it, you go, oh, you're
holding diesel. No, I should have done this and got
more diesel storage because we have things called earthquakes and
bad weather, and you know, it's just being prepared, really,
I guess. And we're all doing it ourselves, you know.
I think we're waiting for the government to tell us. Well,

(01:17:41):
what are they going to tell us? Just use thiss diesel?

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
Guys, did you think it would get this bad the
soon short?

Speaker 24 (01:17:48):
Oh, it's it's worse than you think.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
That's that's my understanding, particularly in the agricultural sector.

Speaker 24 (01:17:54):
Oh no, no, I mean the the actual supply thing. No,
we'st by now because you know what's on the water
is coming and the hangover is going to be you know,
two months a year because no one you know, there's
only so many tankers in the world. I need to
play open the gates tomorrow. There's a two to four

(01:18:15):
week delay on delivery, and that's going to be caught up,
and you can't make the tankers go any fast, so
you can't build any more of them. We'll get you
more of my line, but.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
It's a really good point.

Speaker 13 (01:18:28):
Yeah, and I worked up there.

Speaker 24 (01:18:30):
I mean I went up for the Persian Gulf first
time in nineteen eighty five and I finished up there
about two thousand and five. Or went through two wars
up there. I can remember as a kid. We had
Carla stays here in New Zealand and then another world shock,
two oil shocks. This one's a little different. I mean

(01:18:52):
it could get a lot worse. The others were just
about money. This is actually stuff that could get broken
and you can't fix it. It'll take a little while
to fix whatever gets broken. And there's more broken than
you say. I spoke to two friends of mine. One
of them's a marine offshore contractor up there that that
works on pipelines. I spoke to them on Sunday. It's

(01:19:14):
one of my old work bates and they're tied up.
They can't work because they're fighting. But they said to
damage up there is a lot more that world. Companies
aren't really telling everyone what's happening because they're all national,
but you know, they're tied up in Katar and they're
going it's a lot worse than you think, and it's
going to get a lot worse. For it's better.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Yeah, I think I saw that in France. I were
saying that the the in the UAE there are the
amount of LPG they produce us down by forty percent.
It'll take them five years to get up to where
they were.

Speaker 24 (01:19:53):
Yeah, you know, it's but you know, you don't have
to get too worried about it. It's happened before. We've
been there before, it's happened, and we'll get through it.
It's just everyone wants to be frightened or something and you've.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
Got the oh, yeah, we might, we might get through.
We might get through it. Sure, but it's going to
be it's going to be hugely inflationy with prices and
everything with agricultural goods and stuff, because the diesel is
such a component.

Speaker 24 (01:20:20):
Yeah, and there's nothing we can do about that. But
I kind of like what they're doing. They're just letting
the price go up and that way. Some people they're
already using as little as possible, but they're they're quite few.
Most of us are going to use less because it
costs more, and if you give people a relief, they're

(01:20:41):
just going to go and use the same amount. And
we really do need to use less and the price okay,
it's inflatiary, But I really don't want to be told,
you know, you can only have this or that or
all these kind of draconian stuff coming down. I'd rather
we just stop using or we use less of it ourselves. Yeah,

(01:21:02):
I'm stocking up. Can you more anyway?

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Can you use lessen your career and your occupation.

Speaker 24 (01:21:10):
I looked at my monthly mileage. I could probably drop
it by thirty percent by just not doing by planning better,
doing a bit more traffic management, travel travel management. Yes,
I think I could do thirty percent less. I'm going
to try, and I'm going to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Oh so you're not you're not someone that's got you're
not someone that's got agricultural machinery. You're running, You're not
you've got a really big get a big diesel bell.

Speaker 24 (01:21:40):
I've still got to get around. I'm still got to
get mileage. And I'm contracting on farms, so I'm using
youths to get onto the properties and after properties and
things like that.

Speaker 10 (01:21:48):
Sure so, and it's all of us, But yeah, I
know that.

Speaker 24 (01:21:54):
You know, I've got mates they're going through about two
ton of day and they've just seen their overheads almost
double those poor. You know, those guys really feel for them.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
Yeah, okay, nice to talk Seawan. Twenty four past ten, Marcus,
don't forget the lights were out at North Harbour Stadium
so we didn't see it. Of the Hartland as more
Wanna pacifica team Desiree Hamilton just on people using mobile
phones while driving. I think they are potential murderers. I
suppose well there would be stop, but I'm thinking put
up the fine to at least three thousand dollars will help. Marcus.

(01:22:32):
He didn't deed take the family skiing. In fact, I've
everally remember the Women's mag photos probably Espen eating Marcus.
Where would be a more expensive place to live a
fuel to than New Zealand? And tactical would be the
only place, I would think, Marcus. Will we see the
warplanes when they fly home wherever that is? Today we
went to the food show and chrosturdge good, but not

(01:22:53):
many tastings. Side of the times, Nardia limbits of delight, Sarah, Yeah,
I don't think the raptors are already here are They
don't know about that? If you've got some information about that.
Twenty four past ten, if you're driving home from the
Warriors want to commiserate with me. Get in touch, Marcus.
It's possible to add a chemical to water to make
it ignite. Put in a fuel take it'll start a
car and run eddy. I don't think so. Apparently in

(01:23:14):
Thailand they're in a real bad way because they need
diesel to pump the water and the rice paddies, and
they've got none. But they also need fertilizer to fertilize
the rice paddies. That's rice. The price is up the roof,
up through the roof. Twenty five past nine ten. Let's
hear from you, just to confirm for you. In the

(01:23:35):
Battle of Brisbane, four nil Brisbane over the Dolphins. That's right.
This is the first time the Tigers have beaten the
Warriors since March twenty nineteen. It was the Tigers' first
victory in New Zealand in eight years, and the eighteen
win margin is the largest victory over the Warriors since

(01:23:55):
they're twenty eight point thumping in early twenty nineteen. Looked
like the team went a bit better without your own Luai,
Marcus was between their war in Iran and the war
in Vietnam. Trump doesn't know how to get out of
the war in Iran very good liking that and be
in touch people. My name is Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:24:14):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
If you want to talk anything goes for the final.
But you might be out there driving, you might be
on the town. You might want to talk about diesel.
Christine says, never change a winning team. Marcus, I'm running
forty liters there of diesel. And because we are weeks behind,
running fourteen to eighteen hour days, we can't just park up.

(01:24:37):
But are worried about what's coming in six week time
if the boats that should be getting loaded now don't
sail and in two weeks the maze harvest starts in
the South Island, meaning another twenty thousand leaders per day
getting used that's not currently here. Yes, they say it's
the agricultu it's the mixed cropping farms are the ones

(01:24:57):
that are really diesely intensive. I was reading that today. Yeah,
today the whole discussion is really focused on diesel. It's
not about fuel. It's diesel. That's what drives agriculture, That's
what drives the trucks that move our goods around. Already
down in the South that peck and save in South
we've had disruptions because of the fairies, and they've run

(01:25:18):
out of fuel. So yeah, it could get really tricky
really quickly. And I think people are realizing that that
now it's not like when it was three weeks ago.
It's having the last four days and they say the
markets are showing that they're correct. It'll all be fine.
Not so much, and the warriors have lost four and
el Brisbane up over the dolphins. But yes, some of

(01:25:39):
those agriculture, and of course that'll all be passed on
to the consumer with the price of well, the grain
will be going to the cattle, which led to the
price of deer. I mean, the good thing is that
the dairy farmers are in a sweet spot at the moment,
I guess, although that won't last for long. I don't
know what the price per liter and I don't know
what the petrol, I don't know what the fuel component

(01:26:02):
and the price per kilo of milk solids is. It'll
be something we'll know. It will be twenty percent or something.
It'll be quite a lot, I think, to cut the
whole well, I guess they use a lot of fuel.
It'll be an amount that someone knows. Hello, Max, it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 26 (01:26:19):
Oh good a Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:26:21):
Hey.

Speaker 26 (01:26:21):
I think we need some solutions to this diesel problem, obviously,
and I've been thinking about this. Look here here's one
little thing that I've come up with.

Speaker 16 (01:26:35):
Two.

Speaker 26 (01:26:36):
I've got two things to share, if that's all right,
And I'm up in the carpit the area. Every weekend,
tv Rail stopped running all of the metro trains from
whyk and I Waynington Johnson bull Line, Upperhart the lot
and they put bus replacements on. Now those buses are

(01:26:59):
running about every half hour, and that's a lot of
buses and a huge amount of diesel that's been burnt
up every Saturday Sunday. I appreciate that, Kimi Rail. You
know that they may be doing track maintenance.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
They will they will be. They won't be doing it
by choice.

Speaker 26 (01:27:19):
No, But you know, if we're getting really desperate, by
simply running those trains in the weekends, maybe it would
be two weekends, or maybe just one day Saturday or
something like that, that could save a massive amount of diesel.
Just cutting all those bus services Wellington' to Upper Heart

(01:27:41):
right up to why can I every half Now that's
a lot of buses and a lot of diesel huge
amount over over a two day period. The other thing
I did think of, Now this one is a pretty radical.
The train lovers will love this. But you know, Steam
Incorporated and some of these societies have got locomotives. We

(01:28:02):
went on one of the excutions and they hit a
huge amount of carriages on on a train. In fact,
I wondered if it was going to get out of
Willington up the hill, you know, but we did. And
you know, I'm even thinking, well, maybe they should the
government should even consider approaching these societies and saying, look,

(01:28:23):
you know, let's get some of these diesel, great big
huge diesel locomotives off these goods trains and replace them
with some of the I know it's kind of stepped
backwards and burning coal and all the rest of it,
but perhaps that's another solution to a crisis, well, you know,
like a diesel crisis, rather than you know, if they

(01:28:44):
could have a few of these old locomotives, and there's
quite a few of them around in these societies. I know,
Steam incorporated it you know, the one that we were.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
On the main train line for freight electrified.

Speaker 26 (01:28:58):
No it's not, it's only electrified up to Why and I.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
And it's electrified from Palmerston North to Hamilton, isn't it.

Speaker 12 (01:29:09):
No?

Speaker 26 (01:29:10):
No, not as far as I know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Wasn't that the big thing to electrify.

Speaker 26 (01:29:14):
Well, they do have plans to bring in metro trains
from White and I to to Palmsan North.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
I know that that.

Speaker 26 (01:29:24):
You know, they've they've got them on order and they're
going to have batteries all swored up in the roof
and substations between White and I and Palms the North,
so they'll be they'll sort of be electrified up to
White and I.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
You know, I think the main truck line is electrified.

Speaker 10 (01:29:44):
I'm not sure. I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
I I think I was done in the eighties and
I and I presume someone let me know, I presume
electric goods. Yeah, I don't know where they changed, but
that was that was my understanding.

Speaker 26 (01:29:55):
Yeah, that'd be a good topic. I'd like to know
that too. But it was just there's two suggestions, because
I think I think we've got to we're going to
start thinking about solutions, and I think the government really
needs to kick in a bit earlier rather than sort
of saying, oh, you know, we've got Phase one and
phase two and three. I think, you know the government

(01:30:16):
should be more pre act, you know, rather than be reactive,
be pre.

Speaker 10 (01:30:24):
Active and taking some steps.

Speaker 26 (01:30:27):
Now before we are in a dire situation. So that's
my that's my two cents with just what other people
might think.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
Yeah, we'll find out. I like to find out the
main truck line too, Marcus. Didn't the Tigers beat the
Worries in a preseason game a couple of years ago?
Maybe they did, Marcus. It costs two five, nine to four.
My DA's on Mitzi pursuit the other day. I'm a
trailer hoping that will last at least two weeks. Donald,
this is Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:30:54):
Hi.

Speaker 13 (01:30:55):
I'm just going to answer that question.

Speaker 27 (01:30:57):
The main trunk was electrified in the eighties. Between Parmersan
North and Hamilton there was a gap and it was
also electrified to pike Cock in nineteen forty up a
pair of I am about eighty two and up to
Whyke and I about Oh, I don't know, about fifteen
years ago. There is a gap between why can I
and Palmerston North where it is not electrified. It costs

(01:31:17):
about a million dollars a kilometer to do because I've
talked about electrifying from why and I to O Techi,
which I don't think would be very successful. Was O
Tech's fairly quiet. It cost a million killing meters do
it's only fifteen k So there's a gap. Why can
I to Palmerston and now are going to bring in
trains that operate electric to Why can I then go
into hybrid or Baffley to Parmerston to have a daily

(01:31:38):
catteral connection service during the day and said, there's one
down in the morning and back at night which is
diesel hauled. So you've got that gap of about eighty
five k from Whitney to Parmerston which is not electrified.
It may be done, but they're sitting and put in
passing loops and that, so that is the gap. And
also they operate on different systems, one system I think
through the Central's AC where they Willington Railway systemning as

(01:32:01):
d C or vice.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
Their different system.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Just remind me donald they're taking freight up the country,
do they switched from electric from diesel to electric once
they get to Parmeston North or they don't bother these days?
I know it was seen to be a bit of.

Speaker 10 (01:32:13):
A yeah, I assume so.

Speaker 27 (01:32:16):
But the story was the Aingrish Locos. They bought it
in the eighties for the main trunks that I think
Muldoon had electrified or somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
At that time.

Speaker 27 (01:32:23):
They were saying they were reaching the end of their
economic life and I think they were running running diesels
right through media, so.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
I think it was. I think it was. I think
it was a great idea, but we didn't follow through
with it or something.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Yeah, they just left that gap.

Speaker 27 (01:32:38):
The day train Auckland Wellington Northern Explorer that comes through
the bin with always with a diesel and it's never
a Japanese one.

Speaker 10 (01:32:45):
It's always an.

Speaker 27 (01:32:46):
American DA or DF or whatever they have on.

Speaker 13 (01:32:49):
Them for some reason.

Speaker 27 (01:32:51):
The same with the Cattle Connection Parmesan Wellington that never
has a Japanese loco on it for one or two.
What was the bus you said you left early and
the driver was rude?

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
Was that one?

Speaker 13 (01:33:01):
Can you be Wellington into city or something?

Speaker 3 (01:33:03):
A few months that we went Fong and Luis to
or Tucky?

Speaker 23 (01:33:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:33:08):
What time did you leave?

Speaker 8 (01:33:09):
One?

Speaker 13 (01:33:09):
And you do you leave on the eighth fIF steam service?

Speaker 9 (01:33:11):
Did you yeap?

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
What can you see that left early? What day of
the week?

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
Was it possibly Saturday?

Speaker 27 (01:33:18):
Okay, that was a casual driver, you, I know, the
one that does Sunday, Monday and Wednesday says that, Yeah,
I can't think of his name.

Speaker 25 (01:33:24):
Here there is a Saturday guy.

Speaker 13 (01:33:25):
Oh sorry about that?

Speaker 23 (01:33:27):
Fine?

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Fine was off getting coffee. Yeah, no, it was good.
I mean, no problems with the elder to city.

Speaker 10 (01:33:34):
Do you ride that?

Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Can you ride that bus? About Donald?

Speaker 27 (01:33:38):
I've written Levin to Wellington dozens and dozens of times,
not so much the last couple of years, and I
know one of the drivers real well, yea, not so
much north of then. My main concern they're going to
they're bypassing Levin. I'm what's going to do for the town? Hey,
what about more trains taking freight up and down the
main trunk. I know the bus drivers will the trains,
the truck drivers will hate me. But the train can

(01:33:59):
take a hequal lot of freight between the two cities
rather than a dozen and dozens of big trucks to
day and night going up and down the length.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
Exactly. It's not like we weren't expecting this day, Donald,
that rail resilience wasn't going to be the answer. Somewhere
along the line. Thank you for answering those questions. Twenty
to eleven. The Worries have lost badly Brisbane up ten
zil over the Dolphins in the Battle of Brisbane. Get
in touch if you if you do want to talk.
Main trunk line only been used by Diesel at the moment.

(01:34:29):
Theatric locomotives can't be replaced because of capital cost replacement. Yeah,
I thought it was a great plan, but a great
pan that wasn't followed through. Thank you for clarifying that
for me. People just picked up my sister from her
South Aauckpland soup market job. She restocks a DAILI product
every day. This week and last week too. They sold
out of cooked chicken in a bag. Frozen chicken is
the same price as the cook chicken. My brother was

(01:34:50):
an uber driver. He lost a few regular clients, but
it's picked up new clients and suburbs is still getting
to know. We're all on the same boat. The old
bachelor's handbag. That's what they call the chicken in the bag.
Very funny. That very funny now has been instance in Auckland.

(01:35:10):
Emergency services are responding to incident in Auckland's Mount Albert fire.
An emergency US in confidence was called with his Hatel
Horneys and John Ambulance, with the incident around nine forty
two police instead of according on Springly ev as. Stuff
reporter said there were dozens of teenagers around and smashed
alcohol bottles on the road. One person taken away on

(01:35:31):
a stretcher. Two witnesses told Stuff a group of people
armed with machetes tuned up to a party. Please approach
for comment, but sixteen to eleven, Hello John.

Speaker 28 (01:35:44):
Okay magus. Back in October last year, I bought an
E scooter and I just always, you know, I thought
it was a good idea. Of course I never knew
what was going to happen now, But the scooter during
pigure traffic, Like if I took my vehicle to work,

(01:36:07):
pick A traveling going home could take me possibly forty
five minutes for an hour. But with the E scooter
that takes me always about twenty to twenty five minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
Because you take it on public transport or because you
go on bike, how's it so much quicker?

Speaker 13 (01:36:24):
Both?

Speaker 23 (01:36:24):
So the scooter.

Speaker 28 (01:36:28):
It's got a top spit of one hundred and five kilometers. Now,
not that I do that so it's no problem to
key pace well, you know, sort of through the trapper,
and I do use the bicycle lane a little bit.
I don't use footpaths. There's no there's no way.

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
When you say the scooter, that's like one of those
flesh version of one of those Lime scooters or a
Flamingo one.

Speaker 21 (01:36:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:36:50):
Yeah, yeah, it's like it's the top of the range.
I mean I do case Fury was costing me about
seven dollars eighty per trip, yep, but that's no big
deal that I mean now, I mean I would be
saving huge amounts of money.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
And it's what John, John, what is the cost of
those scooters?

Speaker 28 (01:37:10):
Oh, they're just sitting down. Well, the one that I
brought brand knew you're looking about five grand, but I
brought it singing. I've trade me for about about two
and a half. But I mean I got one from
my son as well to go to college and has
one I brought for the eight hundred and seventy bats.

Speaker 3 (01:37:30):
When they are a remarkably effective form of transport, they
don't work down between bluffing and the cargo. Whereas an
Aukland a couple of weeks ago, that was all I
used tonight. I mean it's quick. It's so quick you'd
never get a taxi. Well, but I was just going
out to see my appearance and stuff.

Speaker 28 (01:37:45):
I mean, I can tell you now, if I went
sorry from my work to the edge of Auckland City,
I would beat a car every day twenty four to seven.
Wouldn't matter, what wouldn't matter what.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
Car you're in.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
But John, I believe it's the future. I believe it's
a quantum leap and transport. I believe it's the future.

Speaker 28 (01:38:03):
Well, if my if my scooter can go from nought
to sixty Klimben has an hour under three point five seconds,
that's the future, no joke.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
And it's quite enjoyable to ride.

Speaker 28 (01:38:18):
Oh, I wear my Motivate helmet, you know. But I
love writing it. It's extremely smooth. It's just fun. I mean,
you have to treat people like you know they can't
see you. But you know, going forward. I got a
sneaky suspicion that I think you may have mentioned before
that COVID nineteen may look like child's play because you

(01:38:41):
have all sorts of issues.

Speaker 13 (01:38:43):
Right.

Speaker 28 (01:38:43):
First of all, if you go back a year ago
or more, people are having problems getting a job. Right,
So people are losing jobs. But so you got AI
that's going to take all sorts of jobs.

Speaker 21 (01:38:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
It's like a perfect it's like a perfect steam.

Speaker 28 (01:38:58):
But also the fact is that that you know, we
had the government coming out saying, oh, inflations. You know
we're going to get on top of it. I tell
you why win saying nothing yet, Man, I can promise
you now. I work at a port, and I can
tell you now, the cost of shipping a container from
one side of the world to the other. It doesn't

(01:39:18):
matter what country as.

Speaker 10 (01:39:21):
It'll go through the roof.

Speaker 28 (01:39:22):
It has to because shipping costs to push a ship
from one country to another, et cetera, cetera is going
to go through the roof. And I believe I came
in with the government or somebody sorry Custom's put an
extra tax on every container just not so long ago.
And I'm not sure what that was for.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
Yeah, I reckon, You're right, John, it's not good thooting
to eleven. Hello, Maureen, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
How are you.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
Watchings that dot Well? The program of Prince Andrew tonight?
Am I God? What entitled a hole?

Speaker 18 (01:40:10):
He was?

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
I am my god, do you think throwing his nose
and throwing his tissues down on the floor for the
maids to pick up, and what a terrible person? Oh
my god? And Fergie.

Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
It almost seems like it almost seems like it almost
seems like the pressure have done a better job and
explained what he was like, because all that was kind
of kept under wraps because I didn't want to offend
the queen. But I think people kind of knew that
he was no good.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
He is a wronging Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 6 (01:40:54):
Anyway, in petrol, you know what the fifty dollars you
know that the government are gonna subdize for the family income. Well,
my daughter, well she gets her petrol freeze for her work.

(01:41:15):
So but she's going to be entitled for that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:18):
Well that's interesting, isn't it because she shouldn't probably get it.

Speaker 18 (01:41:21):
Yeah, and I but.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
She will, she will get that fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
Doesn't seem fair, doesn't seem incredible? Okay. Is it worth
watching that documentary, Maureen?

Speaker 13 (01:41:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:41:33):
Definitely, Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Yeah, did you enjoy did you enjoy watching how horror?
Did you enjoy watching how horrible He was?

Speaker 13 (01:41:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:41:44):
I always knew it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
Thank you About the next thing the documented about Edward,
I think he's just boring, isn't he? Hello, Brett's Marcus.
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:41:56):
As long as we walking the dog through the main
street of Trimminu, the train goes fast and it looks
like it took to the worlds its own blue sparks.

Speaker 3 (01:42:07):
Maybe there are still some that I don't know what happens.

Speaker 23 (01:42:10):
I'm not a train man, or that I'm a diesel mechanic.

Speaker 13 (01:42:13):
But are they electric?

Speaker 23 (01:42:14):
Diesel had two engines on it and both talked up to.

Speaker 3 (01:42:17):
The wires overhead. If there's using the overhead wires, then
there must be some of those engines that are the
electric engines still running up the main trunk Yeah, every night.

Speaker 23 (01:42:26):
Help us nine one o'clock. They're pretty regular coming through
the main trunk line.

Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
The only person I know that we'll know will be dB.
I see if I can get that caller through, because
he will know the information that.

Speaker 23 (01:42:38):
The diesel that's a head ave that everybody uses it
from truck ees, fire trucks, emblances, textage.

Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
It always look it always looked like a dud deal
to go diesel with your double cab. I've always thought
there was a complete waste of time.

Speaker 23 (01:42:52):
Well, like England, they had two different colors. You know,
a lot of people they don't they're paying road tech
and the diesels don't even touch the road generators and
boats and.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Yeah, what's the population of tom renaw?

Speaker 23 (01:43:05):
We I don't even fired six then really yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
Is it growing?

Speaker 16 (01:43:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:43:15):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:43:16):
What will be the biggest industry there?

Speaker 23 (01:43:18):
Well, we get a lot of pew No, I've noticed
in the paper a lot of healths and showing obviously
people coming down from Alklin. You know, the close of
the mountain. You've got the canoe and you've got the rail,
you got you've got the dirty here.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
If you what would be the biggest industry is it?
Is it forestry or farming or what would it be? Okay, yeah,
oh it's a good thing.

Speaker 23 (01:43:41):
Yeah, I'll have a good night, mat.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
Yeah, nice, nice to talk. Do you keep walking? Thank
you for that? There we go six from eleven hit
or twelve all whites given World Cup wake up call. Yeah,
that's a bit of a shame. We're going on that
way to the World Cup. We're not even very good.
We've won one of the last nine or something. And
the Warriors. That wasn't good. The Warriors have been handed
a brutal reality check. Is they're unbeaten. Start of the

(01:44:04):
airl comes to a crashing halt. Their coach Benji Marshall
was on the side that played the last time the
Tigers beat the Warriors. At last made the top eight
in twenty eleven. So it's fifteen years for the top eight.
Dowe dum Dewey was the star. He provided the spark,
not God. So that's bad. I thought we're going to

(01:44:26):
be a cakewalk. So yep, there we go. That's the
situation there. I don't know what the positives are out
of that. I can't see. That has been instant in
Mount Albert with machetes and school children, well youths. Nelson
Police have copped someone who was five times over the
drink limit. Twenty five year old doesn't say the mount

(01:44:46):
he blue. I wonder who it was. There you go,
it's just a minute away from when I go for
the commercial break. But if you want to talk now quickly,
our Phil says Marcus. The ef Electric locos are in
use on the North Island main Trunk. They have been
refurbished and in our pain blue. They should last ten years.

(01:45:10):
That's the EF locos. So yes, it is as though
the main trick line is now electrified from Palmerston North
to Hamilton, so you're quite right there, last caller. Oh,
by the way, this situation Mount Albert sounds nasty. I've
just got an email from Dan. Who's Tommy what the

(01:45:32):
Herald Photographer scene? A Herald Photographer reporter. At least fifteen
to twenty police cars were at Mount Albert over multiple streets.
Eminence has flooded the area to treat multiple people. Broken
bottles were scattered across the roadway inside the cordoned off area.
A video shown by a teenager injured me shows a
young girl lying in the ground while multiply multiple people

(01:45:53):
allegedly attacked her, punching and kicking. The police Eagle helicopter
had been hovering overhead but has since left. That sounds
really nasty. That's the insidant in Mount Albert with missh shitties.
Several witnesses told Stuff a group of people under the
sheites turned up at a party at an Airbnb. Dozens

(01:46:16):
of teenagers smashed bottles. Police will be issuing a statement
in the morning if you've just joined. The Show's not
happened tonight the air the Warnica Warbirds over Warnica. It
is called warbirds, isn't it, Dan?

Speaker 13 (01:46:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:46:31):
So is it not?

Speaker 3 (01:46:31):
Is it all military planes? So if I missed something there,
oh I see, So yeah, I think I've missed a
trick there. So it's well lot of there have been
those sort of zach planes and stuff, so apparently it's
all warplanes. So yeah, I kind of I've just kind
of twigged. I'm sorry, but thick on that one Warbirds
over Warnaka. But the current military planes, so the Raptors
from the US Air Force i think the Australian Air

(01:46:52):
Force and is an air force in the Singapore Air Force.
They've pulled all their current military planes that we're going.
I guess it's great pr because they get kids wanted
to be top gun but they're all gone. So that's
happened as well. There was rugby at North Harbor between
the High and Wonda Pacifica, but the lights went out
so there's big delays there and then they couldn't televise it.

(01:47:15):
And then the New Zealand the All Whites lost too
nil in a very lack cluster game. I'll tell you
more about that soon. Good evening, Judy. This is Marcus in.

Speaker 4 (01:47:25):
A very good evening to you, Marcus. I hope you
are well this evening.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
This thank you, Julie.

Speaker 4 (01:47:32):
I'm in just to change the subject a little bit.
The set of lights that go over I'm quite fascinated
by them. I get out there every night and I
think the most I've counted is forty eight and all
sorts of directions. But what I'm fascinated to know is

(01:47:52):
do they go right round the world or do they
just go around the Southern Hemissa. I can't imagine that
they would be any use to us on the other
side of the world, but yeah, just a little thought.
Somebody might be able to tell me if they go
just around the southern hemisphere. I haven't seen.

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
I think I think some of them are stationary. It's
just our earth that spins.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
Oh really, now someone else said that to me.

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
Yeah, and you're going to see them if they're close
so there's some sun, so if they're close to the
evening or to the morning. But yeah, I don't know.
I've never really thought much about the satellites.

Speaker 4 (01:48:33):
No, I haven't seen the big long one. But the
other night I counted forty eight. And sometimes there's little
groups of three or four, but they just seem to
drift across the sky, but you know, fast, reasonably fast.
But I didn't think they were stationary. I thought that
they all moved.

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
How long did it take you to see forty eight?

Speaker 4 (01:48:58):
An hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:49:01):
Well, it's not a bad effort. That's more than I've
ever seen.

Speaker 4 (01:49:03):
Yeah, and I've got a little stretch and I on
a nice, pleasant, warm evening, I lie at the in
flight the mosquitoes and spray myself with the sick repellent
and it's quite pleasant looking at the stars and just
watching them drift over.

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
I will find out from subal frequent finances some more
about what they are normally doing, if they are moving
or stationary, So you keep yourself plugged. And if you
don't want to talk about that, I don't know if
they move or stationary. I know there are some geostationary
ones we know whether that are we used for our
GPS and sky TV and maybe cell phones. Do you

(01:49:48):
want to talk about the talk? Got some very good
texts have come through tonight still ten six second half
Brisbane of the dolphins. Scary times with fuel prices to
need an otaggers or count or go bust. We'll get
its steady one eulytric buses produced under the Pharries in
commercial October. That was good timing. Andrew and Fergie documentary.
I was shocked by his connection to connect Skaddafi's Chinese

(01:50:11):
bound Epstein and a palace project for new business. But
said a private limited company up where he took two
percent of profit. It was billions and pounds houses mortgages
not paid. This is just the beginning of what else
will come. And he sold out Britain. Fergie had two
staff to pick up after the dogs. Two chauffeurs are
made and made assistance. She sold the story of Entery
five and grand. She took her daughters to see Epstein

(01:50:33):
a week after he was released from prison, begging for
money for years. Andrew was a corrupt pervert. But I
can't believe his family didn't know what he was up to.
It's tarnished the Queen's reputation. Thirteen past eleven, Hello Richard,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:50:48):
Hi.

Speaker 11 (01:50:50):
The last caller was the satellite. I think just through
and I don't know the names of the stars and
all that, But watching them would indicate to me that
there are satellites that sit in the orbit of the
Earth and they just sit there whereas others travel the views.

Speaker 13 (01:51:09):
Yeah, okay, there's.

Speaker 11 (01:51:12):
As the last warp pointed out, there's so many sedlllights
in the air. The wind does it cross between a
sedlight and the drone?

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
Because yeah, I guess we can only see satellites if
they've got light on themuse otherwise it's all dark out there.
Is they must be only when we can see them,
when they are fair enough they have caught light from
the sun.

Speaker 11 (01:51:31):
Yeah, I don't know. There's some that are pretty close.
And the difference between the satellite and a star is
the satellite won't flash, won't sparkle, just as the planets don't.
They don't sparkle. So the seating is satellite from stars.

Speaker 3 (01:51:50):
No, she sees the one moving fast across the sky.
She's in the country. She's not seeing stars. Yeah, thank you.
Falling past leven Beck, catch Brisbane, foughting over the dolphins. Six.
A big situation happening up mand Albert tonight with some
pretty report to things. They're not good at all, So
a polase statement from them in the morning about that,

(01:52:12):
and we are talking a lot about diesel. Marcus, what
watches in counter tadlights? Can you let us know what
part of his energy watches them from? I guess she
might be in the Fielding area. She's rural. Fifteen past eleven.
Good evening, Graham, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:52:29):
Good evening, Marcus. I understand, you know a lot of
concerns and some pieces going on around the world, but
today I was quite disappointed to see our Minister of Finance,
Nikola Willards, having to stand up in front of all

(01:52:50):
the media and basically the country and telling them about
this fuel issue and the fuel Christus and such like.
When I understand that our glorious leader was cutting a
ribbon at a football stadium. Now, I'm just saying it

(01:53:13):
because I believe that, you know, the country is, we're
in an elemental turmoil at the moment, and we need
decent leadership, and our leader was not there to reassure
the public or the people of this country. And it

(01:53:33):
really highlights the effects that he is not a politician
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:53:41):
It's interesting to me in a number of ways, right
because if you are even an average politician. These things
like a crisis, they are your bread and butter because
it's very easy to look prime ministerial and in command.
If you call a press conference, say there's problems with oil.

(01:54:01):
Here's what we're going to do. It's a very easy
way to look and control. And the fact that they
didn't or the fact that he didn't want to go there,
or as Caucus didn't want him there, that to me
is the real worry, because I mean, that's money for
jam as the leader, John Key and are doing. They'd
find up to everything, and people like, gee, they are
ready in command.

Speaker 13 (01:54:21):
Yeah I know, and this guy just doesn't. And absolutely no.

Speaker 3 (01:54:25):
No, he would if he could. He must have realized
that it's that he's hopeless at it.

Speaker 13 (01:54:29):
Oh he must do something. But you know the thing is,
you know, I don't care who's in pair. Well I do,
and I've got my own opinions, but the country needs
leadership and we have not got it at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
And why would he want to be hands off with
a crisis.

Speaker 13 (01:54:49):
Like this because he's a bloody imbecial. I don't know,
you know, he's you know, I don't understand it at all,
And I really felt sorry for that mis was having
to do it all on.

Speaker 3 (01:55:08):
And she seems to have done it very well. But
they must have made but they must have made a
decision that he that he's too much of a liability.

Speaker 13 (01:55:16):
Well, then get rid of them. You know, the country
needs a leader and he.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
Needs a crisis because crisises make leaders.

Speaker 13 (01:55:26):
Yeah, but he just had one eye given to him
on a plate and he goes and cuts the ribbon
at the football stadium, you know he has.

Speaker 3 (01:55:35):
That's that's that stadium seems to be taking forever to open.

Speaker 13 (01:55:39):
Oh yeah, I know they had about three bloody openings today,
but you know it's open from this and there. But
the thing is, at the end of the day, a
stadium's a stadium a fure crisis.

Speaker 3 (01:55:55):
Look that there's there's there's no there's there's no comparison.

Speaker 22 (01:56:00):
No.

Speaker 13 (01:56:00):
So so we should have even to me, he should
have been in front of the camera's reassuring the country,
and he wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
And the other times we've seen him recently was when
he opened we announced the NRL was going to be
an Eden Park and he carried that umbrella out. Then
he went to Samov to become a chief which he
didn't ask for, and then he's been at the Yeah it's.

Speaker 13 (01:56:21):
Crazy, oh know, you know, so you know something has
to be done. And I personally, I don't have the answers.
You know, I'm just a mere member of the public.
But it just absolutely flawed me today because to me,
you know, this country is in dire yeah, straight, and

(01:56:44):
we're in dire need of leadership.

Speaker 3 (01:56:46):
And one if people have got Buyer's remorse, no idea,
thank you twenty six past eleven, A text door has said,
you all voted for him and now we have no leader.
The world is laughing at us. There you go, call
it like it is, and the worry is crumbled thirty

(01:57:07):
two fourteen. Not even an their loss, it's a bad loss.
Webi has spoken, they missed the mark. We went away
from trying to earn everything really well. We had the
right things at the front of our mind. Then I
think we considered to try kicked off for Snara and
didn't get to dummy half those type of things. Concentration
is one of the first half. In the second half,
I thought we were winning films without offense going after them.

(01:57:29):
Then some of them is a simple tackler A bad
defensive decision and they were scoring long brage tries and
executing really well. Hala Sema had a quiet night apparently. Hello, Michael,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:57:42):
Yes, now, lux and he can't be everywhere. He's been
doing very good with a lot of exports overseas. Country's
doing very well with their exports eighty five billions, and
he got all these lift he's ringing up because you
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:57:56):
Think the guys sounded like he was a national supporter, Michael.

Speaker 10 (01:58:00):
Who what what?

Speaker 18 (01:58:02):
Which guy?

Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
Well, clearly the last guy thought Willis had done very
very well, someone that supported that. He wanted his leader
to be there. How much how much has Luxeon had
to do with the exports success.

Speaker 18 (01:58:14):
Well, he's done a lot for it.

Speaker 25 (01:58:15):
They did a lot.

Speaker 26 (01:58:16):
What do you mean?

Speaker 9 (01:58:17):
What do you mean?

Speaker 18 (01:58:18):
Done a lot of He's done a lot with Asian
countries there on exports and Middle Eastern countries, Middle Eastern
countries on the conferences that he's been to and selling
the countries whares.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Yeah, I don't really know what you're saying, Michael, but
thanks for coming through now. It's twenty nine to twelve,
might be a close finish in the Brisbane Dolphins game.
That's the battle of the what do they call it
the Battle of Bridge, the Battle of Brisbane. I think
it's one of their local rivalry. Sixteen ten Brisbane over
the Dolphins. Keep those texts coming through nine nine to

(01:58:53):
the text Marcus, that chap about Willis, It's been so
obvious for a long time. I think national spin doctors
knew he shouldn't front on things. They try and shelter
him lux And from scrutiny in front of microphones and cameras.
Willis sees herself as an articulate leader, but I don't

(01:59:16):
think she's in touch with the real ground level feeling,
at real society level. Same with Seamore, totally educated wordsmith's
lacking true reality understanding. They rate their own wordsmithing that
gives them their confidence. I think there's someone said fuel

(01:59:39):
may become a crisis. It may be a blip. Well,
there's no way it could be a blip, because the
ship's were all stuck in the strait. There's no way
it could not be a crisis. I think anyone that's
rational would know that by now. But there's still the
team Luxon out there, and good on you for that
showing loyalty. Marcus, the queen, poor woman, after a lifetime

(02:00:04):
of service, discovers in her life few years their son
is a line corrupt pervert. The staff who covered friend
with a lot to answer for. I watched the program.
We had heard it all before, but a good program. Anyway,
life goes on, get in touch. I think the Queen
must have known. I mean, she was the one that

(02:00:25):
approved the twelve million. Wasn't she to pay off old
the woman that was accusing him? And the Queen must
have known because I always knew who was going in
and out of the palace. So I think that's the
real thing. He's tarnished her reputation. Marcus Jim was right.
A crisis needs leadership. These guys need to put their
big boy pants on and make decisions. Businesses will start

(02:00:47):
falling over soon. Our fuel bill has doubled in less
than four weeks. They could have changed the time of
the announcement, so he was there. No leadership equals one term.
As for phase two, who's going to do as they're
asked and save fuel? That announcement would just restart panic buying.
What I've noticed tonight is it's the agricultural contractors are

(02:01:09):
the ones that are upset because there the ones that
are ready fitting it with the price of diesel twenty
four to twelve. Good evening, christ it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 21 (02:01:18):
Hello Marcus. Just listening to people. And if we didn't
have a crisis, we've certainly talked ourselves into one. I
just thought I didn't even think anything of Nikola willis
presenting the information. It's not about this is what needs
to be done. If you've got things running right, you'll
leave it to someone else in the office to do it.

(02:01:42):
We're not in a crisis yet. Sure, prices are going
up and we're planning for what's going forward. Everyone's only
seen the problems. You Tanker rates have dropped from four
hundred thousand a day to two fifty a day because
they don't see there's so much of a problem now.
Rates are shipping tankers for the day when they hire

(02:02:04):
them out to tart fuel. You know, when we saw
in COVID chipping rates went up and all that, whether
it's the blip and shipping rates to ship fuel and
that around when I've just gone back.

Speaker 3 (02:02:15):
Yeah, but you mean fuel is like ships fuel tankers.

Speaker 21 (02:02:20):
Yeah, yeah, charter them for the days. You know, there's
charter we want to charter, we want to cart it.
What's the what's the price? Well, it really spiked them's
come back. We've got production being the pipeline across Saudi
Arabia being ramped up. And I think there's one across
Katar that was built about forty years ago. In fact,
Mike Hoskin was even talking about that they built it

(02:02:40):
some years ago. You remember when there's the previous incident
in the straits of the Moves.

Speaker 3 (02:02:45):
We're Americans, So I've got to say, all the all
the reading that I have read about LPG, about gas,
about sulfur, about fuel, the supply is really really restricted.

Speaker 21 (02:02:58):
At the moment is because it's powering up another areas well.

Speaker 3 (02:03:02):
No, Chris, that's certainly not where and I've read widely
on that. Certainly not the and I think that's I
think that's why they the S and P went up
so much today, it seems. And the brink crud is
so high. Okay, the brink cruise at one six, isn't
it was one ten when I came on here.

Speaker 21 (02:03:22):
Yeah, well, well it's around there and holding that price
of course, cracking be pairing up now too, because fracking
has a point price of where it's economical, and now
it's pretty economical, so.

Speaker 3 (02:03:35):
That will be it is one tenant rent crew. Yes,
But despite how much everything Trump's tried to get the
oil price down with releasing reserves, releasing increasing production, releasing
the Russian reserves, and going around to produce oil, it
hasn't affected the price at all. None of it's brought
the price down. None of it's brought the shear market up,

(02:03:55):
which you all indicators that things that things are in
a bad state.

Speaker 21 (02:04:00):
Well, if you listening the trumpets in a bad state
and what's happening behind the seat, like, you wouldn't even
realized there's a war game on Ukraine right now where
Ukraine's making some pretty big inrights.

Speaker 3 (02:04:12):
That's just But what I've noticed from day one is
that people have rung this show and tried to make
out that it's not going to be a problem, and
then people are now finding that the price of fuel
has gone up fifty percent, so it has to become
a problem. And for a month people said it wasn't
it was just going to take four days in the future.
I've had financial Enda lists during this show and says, oh, no,

(02:04:33):
you look at the futures market, it's a blippe. It's
all going to take four days. None of us come
to pass.

Speaker 21 (02:04:40):
Well, I never believe that either. And when you look
at most futures they most predictions, a lot of them
don't come to pass either. And it's an unknown at
the stage and trumps have begun known. But the points
that we've got plenty of fuel.

Speaker 3 (02:04:54):
At the present time, well that's not quite the case.

Speaker 21 (02:04:58):
Well, all the indicators are you see what's going forward.
There is about fifty days approximately for jet.

Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
Yeah, but we haven't got we haven't got the value
ability of the ships because the ships will be having
back orders and some of the ships will be stuck
in the straits and they can't make new ships. There's
not going to be new ships to deliver the fuel.

Speaker 21 (02:05:15):
Well, some of those ships might be stuck there, but
the other ships will be going to other port stoup
lifts too.

Speaker 3 (02:05:20):
Yeah, but it's a real tight it's a real tight
supply line. And if if the disruption like that, we've
got forty percent of the LPG fields have been taken out,
it's going to be five years to reproduce those.

Speaker 21 (02:05:34):
Well, that's what they're saying at the present time, and
often predictions. We remember when that ship went down off
pew On a few years ago, the victories were going
to be out for five years, what everyone was saying,
And that wasn't the case.

Speaker 2 (02:05:49):
You mean with the.

Speaker 3 (02:05:51):
Rena Rena, that's the.

Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
One here I heard.

Speaker 3 (02:05:55):
I never heard that, and I was quite involved with
that story out and here the.

Speaker 21 (02:05:57):
Bit I heard that. I heard that some people have
been interviewed and that's what they were saying.

Speaker 3 (02:06:02):
Yeah, okay, well you're got to go to your source
of information, Chris, but thank you. Ten away from twelve
o'clock oh, eight hundred eighty to ten eighty oh eight
hundred eighty to ten, nineteen ninety to text even it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (02:06:14):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus and listeners. I actually think he's
trying to throw it. I don't think he wants to
be there. He's smarter than that. The way he's talking
been talking lately, he usually can get a job anywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:06:27):
He likes you talking about Luxon.

Speaker 10 (02:06:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think he wants out just the way
he's been might you might be right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:06:37):
It doesn't seem maybe I think it would be a free,
enjoyable two and a half years for him.

Speaker 10 (02:06:41):
I would think, yeah, No, he's got plenty of money.
He doesn't care. I don't care about us.

Speaker 3 (02:06:47):
He's sorted.

Speaker 10 (02:06:48):
Yeah, he said that on the radio. He's sorted. He
can get a job anywhere. Now why would you say that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
Well, he's fifty five, he probably doesn't need to get
a job and he will probably just happily retire.

Speaker 21 (02:07:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:07:00):
But the way he's been talking, he's like purposely trying
to throw it. And if Australia isn't over with fuel,
we're next riding's on the wall.

Speaker 3 (02:07:11):
I just don't know what's not to be achieved with
him fronting on that. I can't quite work that out,
because that would you think that would be the prominence's job? Yeah,
people say, oh, he doesn't need to, he doesn't need
to front, But why have someone if you don't, why
by they're having a Prome minister.

Speaker 10 (02:07:26):
If you don't, no transport, no food in the supermarkets,
that's just how it's going to roll. I wonder, I
wonder when they're going to allow us to swap a
few fish for a few veggies.

Speaker 3 (02:07:38):
Can't we do that? Already.

Speaker 10 (02:07:40):
No, No, you're not allowed to do that. You're allowed
to give it away, You're not allowed to you're not
allowed to take anything for it. Get in trouble for that.

Speaker 3 (02:07:50):
Can't we have barter?

Speaker 12 (02:07:51):
No?

Speaker 10 (02:07:53):
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
You get no GST, do you?

Speaker 10 (02:07:56):
No, there's no money in it for the government. Yeah,
but that's how it's going to go, because I'll certainly
be catching a few fish in asking around the neighborhood
if they want to swap a few fish for a
few veggies.

Speaker 23 (02:08:10):
Nothing in the server market.

Speaker 3 (02:08:12):
Are you catching many fish?

Speaker 13 (02:08:13):
Oh? There's plenty of snapping here, and plenty of founder.

Speaker 3 (02:08:17):
I like flounder, love flower.

Speaker 10 (02:08:18):
Flounder better than snapper.

Speaker 3 (02:08:20):
Anyway, how are you catching them?

Speaker 10 (02:08:22):
I just got a little net, a little founder neck,
a little light like mesh. Are you walking just an
hour or so out and get ten or twenty you
walk in?

Speaker 12 (02:08:32):
No?

Speaker 10 (02:08:32):
No, just to go on the little dingy you know?

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
Oh yeah, okay, good ding Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:08:36):
I'm looking for a roadbload if anyone who's got I
don't think I'll be able to run me out more shortly.

Speaker 13 (02:08:41):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:08:41):
No fuel?

Speaker 10 (02:08:42):
Have you got?

Speaker 3 (02:08:42):
Have you got oars?

Speaker 13 (02:08:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (02:08:44):
But I've got the hend is not very good for rowing.

Speaker 3 (02:08:48):
Well too well, rolic's too far forward.

Speaker 10 (02:08:51):
No, it's just not an ideal roboat. Those it's in
inflatable and it's a very heavy one plastic bottom and
it's really heavy and they just don't row well.

Speaker 3 (02:09:01):
Okay, keep hasn't posted even nice to talk Lance, Good evening, Yeah,
what's technic lance?

Speaker 14 (02:09:09):
I'm actually I'm bringing up tonight mate, because I'm on
the look lookout for a kilt. I'm part Scottish and
I part Mary and I've got a party to go
to and I'm looking for a kilt that if anyone's got.

Speaker 3 (02:09:25):
A kilt for sale, you just want to wear it once?

Speaker 14 (02:09:31):
Well, ideally I'd like to keep it if I can,
but I can borrow one off someone and I'm happy
to do that.

Speaker 7 (02:09:39):
I don't know if you.

Speaker 14 (02:09:42):
Aware of Rowdy Rody Piper the rest work back.

Speaker 9 (02:09:46):
In the day.

Speaker 14 (02:09:47):
I am, yeah, Well, I'm related to him, so we
come from the Highlands of Scotland and so he's a
he's a relation of mine and God rest her soul.
Now we've departed, but I thought that i'd turned up
at this party and I want to wear a kilt
and a hot rod shirt and dressed up.

Speaker 9 (02:10:09):
Like he used to and turn up at this party
looking like that.

Speaker 14 (02:10:13):
And I'm trying to find a kilk. I've been everywhere
and I cannot find one anywhere, mate, and I would
love to try and get one up I can. If
anyone's out there that's able to help me out, that
would be amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:10:26):
How much you're prepared to pay.

Speaker 14 (02:10:28):
I've had a couple of hundred bucks, I said, don't
want to spend too much money, but you know, it
would be nice to have a nice, decent kilk, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:10:38):
Because I'm looking on trade me and I can't see any.

Speaker 14 (02:10:41):
I've seen a few on trade me and stuff like that,
but a lot of them are just like overseas knockoffs
and stuff like that. Like I just want to proper
a proper kilk, you know what I mean?

Speaker 20 (02:10:54):
Okay, instead of it.

Speaker 14 (02:10:58):
A lot of these knockoff ones that I've found online
and what have you. They look more like skirts than
if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (02:11:04):
Yeah, I got no idea. I know there's a shop
and to Needing that's make celts, but that'd be expensive.
You wouldn't want to do that, would you?

Speaker 22 (02:11:11):
Not?

Speaker 9 (02:11:11):
Really?

Speaker 14 (02:11:12):
What I don't really have time for.

Speaker 3 (02:11:15):
Coming up, And I think that's when you go for
your when you go for your finding out what your
proper tartners and tracing it back.

Speaker 14 (02:11:23):
Yeah, well it is also that as well. Yeah, Like
I was just wondering if there might be somebody out there,
like I know there's a lot of big park clubs
and stuff like that around. I thought maybe maybe I
can borrow one off somebody or something like.

Speaker 9 (02:11:41):
That for the event that I need to go to.

Speaker 14 (02:11:44):
And when's it would be really helpful.

Speaker 3 (02:11:47):
When's the party lant next Thursday? In what part of
the country are you in?

Speaker 14 (02:11:54):
Arm and Paprika? Okay an awkward yep, so, but if
anybody's got anything they're able to help, then that would
be amazing. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (02:12:07):
Otherwise I will keep looking.

Speaker 10 (02:12:10):
Around and see what I can find out.

Speaker 21 (02:12:12):
But where as the will as the way you know
and you.

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
Don't know and as you are yeah yeah, okay, well
still we can do lance. But you haven't got much
time tonight. But you're good luck we're in the country
to say you were.

Speaker 14 (02:12:24):
I'm in Paprika and South Aukland.

Speaker 3 (02:12:26):
Ma yep, okay, col thanks for that lance Oline. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (02:12:33):
Yeah, I've got a question for you.

Speaker 16 (02:12:38):
Has anyone done how much diesel we use prior to
the start of the war.

Speaker 3 (02:12:45):
I guess it would be I guess there would be tanks.
I guess there would be like a some sort of
thing that does it.

Speaker 16 (02:12:52):
Yeah, because could have any compare to what we're using
with diesel there? Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, And
I think a lot of it's got to do with
all these people go on the forty four gallon drums
on that and someone out to the service station because
you never heard of service stations running out of the
fuel in the last what twelve months or so at least.

(02:13:17):
So mean, all these people are hoarding the diesel when
that's the needed elsewhere. And I think to be fear that.
I think what's her name will stop people from filling containers?

Speaker 23 (02:13:34):
Am I right there?

Speaker 3 (02:13:35):
I don't know that she's managed to do that. I
think one to tell you not to stop filling them.
I think people just go and fill more they realize
there's a need for it.

Speaker 16 (02:13:44):
Yeah, but there's half the problem. But I mean, the
disail should be available for the tracking companies in the
contracting companies the services, like, you know, if we gain
abluence and she wants to help those people being pred

(02:14:06):
she should get the road user bit because I mean,
those those big tracks are probably paying the excess of
sixteen hundred dollars per sears and philometers.

Speaker 19 (02:14:18):
Money.

Speaker 3 (02:14:19):
Might they do affect the roads though, don't they?

Speaker 23 (02:14:21):
Well yeah they do, but.

Speaker 16 (02:14:25):
Well the more wheels are on the on the road,
the better of ours.

Speaker 3 (02:14:31):
It's going to be interesting the next couple of weeks, Lenny,
That was all I can say. I don't think it's
going to be interesting in a good way, but thank
you for that. Hello, Marriott's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (02:14:39):
Yeah, hi, First of all, that would kilt I Actually
my old schools had a celt that it wasn't like a.

Speaker 3 (02:14:49):
Different different one the girl's celt dress, isn't it.

Speaker 13 (02:14:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:14:53):
Yeah, but I've also got one that I got when
I was over in England. But the problem is he
didn't mention his size, because you know, kilts are pretty
much fitted for people. Yeah, a proper proper cilt. But
like I've, as I say, I left to find mine.
But I mean, if there's a small guy, that would

(02:15:16):
be okay. But some of those guys are quite quite solid.

Speaker 3 (02:15:21):
Yeah, someone thought it was looking for Kelp and they
could help him out, but no, not kelper Cilt.

Speaker 7 (02:15:27):
So yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (02:15:32):
I reckon it's too late, but it could ring a
costume shop or a pipe beard, a costume place or
a pipe band place.

Speaker 8 (02:15:39):
Yeah, there's a costume shop actually in Hamilton as well.
But you'd think he's just bounded something down down and
well Hamilton's closer for him anyway. But if he left
assume more details, I might be able to.

Speaker 3 (02:15:54):
Yeah, I don't get people to leave details. Yeah, but
there is there is one available on trade me one
hundred and twenty five bucks. Yeah, this there's with a official. Yeah,
I'm sure able to buy some online.

Speaker 8 (02:16:07):
But they won't They certainly won't be cheap because of text.

Speaker 3 (02:16:11):
A lot of a lot of yeah, a lot of
a lot of world.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:16:16):
Yeah, it's up yards. Thanks Mary, appreciate that.
