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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be greetings, welcome on him, as Marcus had twelve
congratulations for Abdul. He's got Egypt and our big sweep
gilling gundry concrete sweep. So he's got Egypt, so well
done to them. Cheap. The team's called the Pharaohs. I'm
slightly disupported by that. I don't know why I thought,
of all the teams, the Egyptians could call themselves pharaohs.
I thought the Pharaohs were dictatorial and tyrannical. I guess

(00:35):
you called themselves your football kings. It's a similars of
a vein, isn't it. Anyway? I sat down to watch that,
and I did watch it. Boy, I tell you what
the common had had sucked all the enthusias out of
the game. They were who were they?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
God?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
They were dreadful. That means spirited, That means spirited man,
of that means spirited woman. It was like they're reading
a Wikipedia page. Well, an interesting fact is that the
last five matches the all whites have not lost thought.
It was dreadful. The commentary. I know you complained it away.
I mean, I'd have rather they sent said someone else

(01:07):
across there, to think of all those people they could
have sent. And yeah, but I don't even know. I
don't even think they were there. I got that feeling
they weren't there. Honestly, Ginny May or someone like that
to commentate it. That was that was soulless. We not
only was it bad to lose three to one, but

(01:27):
actually they have the life sucked out like a vacuum
pump from the match. Do we know who they work?
And someone just takes me who they were? But yeah,
there was no there was no there was nothing. There
was nothing. They added nothing to the match. I know.
It's really low hanging fruit to complain about the commentators.
If we'd won, I wouldn't have complained. But I just

(01:48):
thought cheapest. They never tell you who they are. They're
hiding shocking. No one said who they I mean, the
comment people beforehand were right, that goalkeeper and old Chango
and the other one. But the people cheapest creepers. If
anyone knows who they are, I assume that woman was
a footballer. It's normally this way that situation goes. Anyway. Yeah,

(02:10):
I didn't think I was going to say that, but
I found myself sitting here slightly disappointed by that that
it was such a such a rum sort of a deal. Anyway,
get in touch with you. He text me quite quickly
about who those commentators were, but boy did they suck
the life from it. Oh and the other thing that's
quite important topic. I know that Chris that Jason Pine
has just come off the show talking about the all

(02:31):
Black selection, which was big news. But for me, the
big sports news for the weekend was how outstanding that
rugby league venue is in christ Jurch. Now I don't
need I don't know what needs to happen, but it
needs to happen for christ Judge and for rugby league
because I tell you what, the Crusaders next year are

(02:52):
not going to fill that up every time. They need
to fill it up, and they need matches there and
they need rugby League. I think the stadium needs rugby
league and rugby league needs the stadium to slam dunk.
I don't really think about it so much during it,
but everyone's praising it so much. Atmosphere was unbelievable. If
you read or the juno's that were there, they've said
it was just done. It was like my Mount Smart
times three, and Mount Smart's pretty good. The steepness of

(03:15):
the of the seats, everything, the whole ship beang the
fact actually the Warriors seem to play better with dry
ball and the fans genuinely seem to love it. Good
working class stronghold christ Jitch getting in there, loved that.
So anyway, I don't know, I don't know. I know
that Perth's coming in, and I know that Papua New
Guinea's going in and that's been sorted. But I think
we need a New Zealand team within the next three

(03:36):
or four years that's coming out of there. I don't
think it's going to weaken the Warriors because they're different,
different pathways anyway. Now, I just certainly think that New
Zealand has enough room for and I think that that
is such a great venue. I know it wasn't built
with that in mind, but it's almost it seems to
me like the venues from the North of England with
the actions right close up against the audience. Oh, it

(03:57):
was great. It's going to be a fortress just like
Medison Square Gardeners for the nixt with them with the
fans right close to the sideline. It was tremendous. The
only thing struck slightly mccrawl was seeing the bosses from
SkyTV there when they exploit us so much for our
fee to watch our rugby league. But you want to
comment on that quickly, just come through eight hundred and
eighty ten, eighty and sixt year. It must happen. It's

(04:19):
got to happen, and that will happen. I think because
the rugby league people they're giving the stadium man of
the match, then when was the last time a stadium
one man of the match But he wanted to comment
on that. Look, I think that's just a it's a
brain brone, no brainer. That becomes that FEEFA World Cup.
Broadcasters appoint commentators from a pool of commentators. Yes, thought

(04:42):
they were poor too, shocking, just without the enthusiasm we
wanted to hear a key we talking, especially that first
half which we won, when no brain had actually have
a key without know who you get just some comments,
person's enthusiast. Anyway, get in touch if you want to talk.
Eight hundred and eighties eighty thirteen past eight, these other
stuff I want to mention tonight, but this will just

(05:03):
cover this off. But yeah, just are you of my
thoughts after seeing that that the South Island needs a
rugby league team and what a million people there? Well,
certainly it's as media as Canberra, I would think, and
it gets there just on stadium, the fact that it's
got international flights and the fact that it's a rugby

(05:24):
league city. I guess if you happen to go to
that match, let us know you might want to contrast
that with the rugby a couple of weeks before and
if you went to both, if you'd go to that
match at Taka yes day four pm, really good match.
So get in touch eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine nine two to text ju ju juj You agree, Markers,

(05:45):
she was like a wet weekend Wigan. I don't know
if that's referring to the stadium or the commentators, but yeah,
fancy that pool of commentators. They were dreadful. So yes,
if you want to talk on e tonight, that's the
thing to get us started tonight. The rugby league and
the commentators at the were they there because you couldn't?
I think when you want to hear a commentary from
the Football World Cup you want to hear the crowd

(06:07):
singing and stuff. You're a bitter that that moss coming,
and I get feel so often these days it looks
like the Chemick commentating from a TV screen with no
local color. That's the impression I got. I might be
wrong about that, and I'm prepared to be. Oh Tim's text,
good evening, Marcus. I believe the ner our bosses at
the Warriors game meant to be bringing in her officials

(06:28):
after the third start of origin, and they're not keen
on other Brisbane teams, so it'd be nine twenty thirty
before approval. Front of all, that's only four years away.
It takes them that while to get it together. Looking
forward to the Japan Versus sweating game on Friday, Carena
Marcus ninety one petty two dollars seventy seven Diesel two
twenty nine. Things are nearly back to normal. I reckon

(06:50):
there's going to be some I see when saying, oh,
no need to panic, the government handle this world, but
I think there's going to be some some more blips
and fuel supply. I don't think the straight Ohill moves
is anywhere air open. I think Trump's got a lot
on with that damn pool that's peeling, and I reckon
he's going to kick on Marcus. All the World Cup
games are being played where cannabis is legal. Can you

(07:10):
buy it at the stadium? And why can't you buy
it at sport events and states where it's legal. I
think it's probably the buzz you want for football, but
I'm curious it's a good point you make anyway enough
for me fifteen past nine or any breaking news. I'll
bring that to you tonight, bright, tight and real here
till twelve, but get in touch if you want to partake.
So I just want to talk about the Rugby League
first in christ Church and whether you think that's going

(07:31):
to convince people they need another that you sually it
needs another team and it needs it soon, because why not?
Why not make a proactive decision. I think the stadium
is so good because yeah, that's a great way to
do it. Perfect size too. That could well be something
you want to mention. Get in touch eight hundred and eighty,
ten eighty anything else you want to mention tonight, feel

(07:53):
free to get involved. Winter Solstice has happened, is happening?
I think it's today. The nights get longer. The earth
gets colder, but the nights get longer. I think we
need to acknowledge that we're halfway through the year to
what we are acknowledging, so you might want to mention
that also too. But yeah, I'd just be curious to
if you went to the rugby league and how that
was for you in chrost Church and how important is

(08:16):
now that the South il and get to rugby league
team because normally the one thing they're worried about is
great venues and they've certainly got that. It's perfect. I
don't know that was a big reason why it was
designed like that, with the stands tall and up close,
but certainly seems to work very very well. But yeah, hit,
but not if you want to partake as I've said. Oh,

(08:41):
good point, Marcus. Awesome to see us in And when
the second tist against England, maybe Kine just sort of
knew the other boys combined can manage the excellent role
he sits some years ago. Yeah, it was funny, ond
thing finishing on a Monday morning. I didn't watch it.
I could have, but anyway, better catch you people if
you want to start the whole discussion tonight seventeen past eight.
Look forward to hearing from you. By the way, Orkward

(09:03):
is a big part of new leners without power. Tonight
a bus the Loser Cruise has had a power pilot's
taken it out. It'll be out till three point thirty.
It's a long night for you, jeep, as that's a
Monday too. Hope it's not your our with cheap power
or your night with cheap power. But that's the situation.
I've looked at the website three point thirty in the
morning for when that's back on, you know if it's due,

(09:24):
because you've be in the darkest thing to me on
your wind up transistor. But that's a situation. They're welcome.
But even we're talking about the sports commentators and also too,
how fantastic that that Takaha would be as a rugby
league stronghold for a team. And you get a couple
of thousand coming across from the coast each week. You
get a couple of thousand coming down from Nelson, you
get a couple of thousand up from Dunedin. You get

(09:45):
twenty thousand cantabs. Boom Marcus. The celebrity tipping point is awful.
Bring on some real people winning real money. I'm looking
at it some fativan. I can't tell you who those
people are. I'm not saying that I'm one of those
people that they call themselves celebrities, but I didn't know
what there's a rory is that Rory Fallon? I don't
know who the people are, but I've always thought it

(10:06):
was a dud show. Not enough questions, not enough bang
for your buck. Must be a football special, by the way,
with those those coin games, when you're playing those for
real and a pile of their slots at the side,
that's where most of the coins end up. But yeah,
I'd never watch the celebrity tipping point when I'm watching
it now at work. Why I don't they put a
camera one of those little discs too. There'd be interesting

(10:28):
was a camera on the disc. You'd see the discy's
point of view with the tray coming towards it. Be terrifying.
I'll be a big fan of that, Marcus. After the
winter solstice, the nights get short a very good point.
Days get longer. Did I say days get longer? But anyway,
days get longer, nights get Shorter's the darkest it's been

(10:50):
Marcus living off the grid at the moment, no lights on.
While placing pickle on some cheese for a snack, little
did I know used raspberry jam and it tasted pretty good.
Always learning good, of course raspberry jam is going to
be good. It's got a bit of the sour, bit
of the sweetness the cheese, leaving it out tremendous. Oh,
by the way, Keir Starmer is about to go. He's
giving a speech now, I'll switch to this. He's probably

(11:12):
resigning as we speak. Have you speaking the next ten
to fifteen? So we might get some talkback out of that.
I don't know. He's going to address outside number ten.
So already I'm looking because remember there was a lik
to when Rishie schue Nat came out to said of
lick turn. They've just put the look turn up there.
So I've seen a guy go across and he's just

(11:34):
testing the lictern with the ballot. We'll see the cat
there's the cop are all on this now. So he's
going to resign. I would imagine the next in the
lex little while the press are all lined up, some
of their own leopards can look like Bett Lynch. He's
unpopular and of course to the Mayor of the North.
The Great labor Hope has gotten in a by election

(11:55):
and he's red star of the riot notice and he's
going to probably you know, there'd be an arrangement. I
don't know whether Starmer stays on and goes back to
being a King's counsel or a Crown prosecutor. If he does,
that's about to happen too, So I might have made
that take that audio for that if that is. Is
that the plan, Danne? We did last time with Sunk,
we did with not Terresa. There's been I think we

(12:17):
did with Terresa Maine. I think we did with there's Truss.
So there's wild panning camera shots. Now is they panning
back and forwards past the windows? I'm not quite sure
what's but they've just checked out the leg turn to
make sure the audio is working. And this could happen
any moment. But yeah, I do need your calls to
start talking about the league and the commentaries of the football.
There's other topics tonight. I just want to get a

(12:38):
traffic on this, so we're not throwing that topic away
before we get started on it. So yeah, that's the
plan for me. Tipping points on in the background. We
have no idea who the Libs are without them, but
it must be a football special but we don't really
have enough footballers to do a celebrity I mean, and
it's Winton RUFA. So yeah. Anyway, good on them. Tonight,

(12:59):
driving long Nadies Mile towards Queensdale, my daughter and I
saw a flaming comment disapproaring over them of Oral Lakes
so beautiful, it's like an iddic place to be and
just seeing you know, we are about to give the
speech on Kirstam. If that happens, we'll keep you updated
with that. But yeah, they've just got the lecture and
ready Marcus and new zen In. The earliest sunset is
on June the fifteenth, The latest sun rises on June

(13:21):
the twenty eighth, or earliest sunset June the fifteen. The
last sun rise is June the So do it occur
at the same time as a solstice? Robert, thank you?
Robert Judas texted from Nelson. She says you are still
on my bucket list, Hpia. Marcus totally agree. Haven't really
been excited in this World Cup piqued my interest when
they beat Iran, came home and I turned the TV

(13:41):
on when I heard your colleagues getting excited. Then I
turned my car off about halftime. I thought the comedy
was so biased, and the man and the wom were
not all excited by the year all whit's clearly not
knowledgeable about our national team. If I'd paid this to that,
I would have been disappointed. Chris Chang would have done
a better job. Yeah, Well, as I said, anyone from

(14:01):
TV and Z would have been absolutely great. But yes,
be in touch if you want to talk. Get the
whole ball roll tonight. We're just waiting for care. Although
it looked like it's not Keirs Darmer's. It looks like
he's getting ready for a photo opportunity. I've just seen
there's a skin, and I think all his staff for
out getting a photo taken. I don't know, Wordy, what's
got that that's got to do with anything, but the

(14:22):
resignation probably will be within the next half hour. Now,
what else can I tell you? Oh, by the way,
this day in history nineteen eighty six was Maradonna's infamous
hand of God goal, and this day nineteen fifty four
was the park at Hulm Murder. June twenty second. Now
I'll try and find you a score for the Sharks also,

(14:45):
because it's happened as we speak, we're playing the Nelson Giants. Anyway,
I'll try and find that for you. Now. That's all
I've got to say. And if you want to start
the whole ball wrong, it'll be nice to hear from
you tonight. Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty ninety eight sixty six to the Shark over

(15:07):
the BayHawks. Oh yeah, that's a clear victory there. Home
Mark has been wondering about the alleged spaceship asteroid Old
moa Moor. Here's some data on its current location, behavior
and very interesting about how fast it's going. Thanks for that, Johnny. Yes,
we are always very interested in Old Mo and Moor.
And I'm all sorts of about what you if you

(15:27):
went to that to Kaha on the weekend, or whether
you think this is a slam dunk to have a
second rugby league team and using it on the back
of that, I'd love to hear some can to re
excitement about that, if you can, because I think that's
certainly a slam dunk. As I've said a number of
times and boring myself somewhat by saying that or keeping
saying that. Text if you can, email if you should,

(15:48):
and call if you want to hit till twelve. Oh okay.
The players on the tipping point, the slavery tipping point,
are Francis Devrays, Ollie Saale and Rory Fallon. So they're
clearly all footballers. So that's a situation there.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest
moment of my life. A new Labor government, the first
in fourteen years, a page in our country's history turned
after years of disappointment and despair, the chance to change
the lives of millions of people for the better. That's

(16:30):
what I came into politics for. The journey to that
point was not easy. Six years ago, I inherited a
Labor Party that was politically, financially and morally bankrupt. I
was told time and time again that my party was finished,

(16:54):
that we were consigned to history, that the majority at
the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible.
But we proved that people wrong because we changed our party,
ripping out the poison of anti Semitism, restoring trust on

(17:15):
the economy, defense and national security, and becoming a party
that once again stood proudly with, not against.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Our national flag.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
The hard work of change was with a singular purpose,
not power for power's sake, but to change Britain for
the better, to build a fairer country with dignity and respect,
where everyone is seen, everyone is valued, wealth and opportunity

(17:52):
for all, not just the privileged through and look at
what we've achieved in just two years. And economy that
is stronger, going faster than our peers, Wages rising faster
than inflation in every single month since we came to power, Investments,

(18:15):
secured infrastructure being built, an end to austerity with the
fastest fall in NHS waiting lists for seventeen years, the
biggest improvement in rights for workers and renters in a generation,
the biggest uplift in defense spending since the Cold War,

(18:36):
small boat crossings falling, asylum hotels closing, protecting young people
from social media, and half a million children being lifted
out of poverty. Because of the choices that I made,
our reputation in the world restored, with Britain once again

(18:58):
standing up for decency, respect and the role of law,
securing trade dues, standing with you Ukraine, standing up for
our values and rebuilding our relationship with our allies in Europe.
Change promised by a Labor government, change fought for by

(19:18):
a Labor government, change delivered by a Labor government. But
I know the question being asked now is not who
was best placed to change the Labor Party, to take
us into power and to begin the vital work of
improving lives for millions of people. Those questions have been answered.

(19:45):
The question my party is asking now is whether I
am best placed to lead us into the next general election.
I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to
that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.

(20:07):
Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country
I love first. That is why I will resign as
leader of.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
The Labor Party.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning
to inform him of my decision. I will ask the
National Executive Committee of the Labor Party to set out
a timetable with nominations opening on the ninth of July
and completed by the summer recess. In the case of
a contest. This will ensure a new leader is in

(20:40):
place for parliament returns in September. I will remain in
post as Prime Minister until the contest is complete, and
I will do everything I can to ensure an orderly
handover of power. I will also give my successor my
full and unequivocal support, knowing that they will inherit a

(21:03):
Britain that is far stronger and fairer than the wine
I inherited two years ago, better prepared for the challenges ahead,
and better able to ensure the Labor Party seccures a
second term in office. I want to thank all of
those friends and colleagues who have been at my side

(21:24):
for these past six years or so for their incredible commitment,
service and support. I want to thank the brilliant Number
ten staff and our country's extraordinary civil service who dedicate
their lives to public service. And when I leave the
biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time

(21:47):
on the most important job, being the best husband I
can to my fantastic wife Vick, who has been a
rock by my side through good times and bad, and
being the best dad I can to my beautiful children
who are my pride and my joy.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
That is kis Arma resigning as Prime ministerress so off
it happens they save their best for last, setting emotional
there towards the end. I apologize for the audio and
that clip, but what happens because the law of the
land in the UK is my belief. At the end
of Downing Street there are people that they play loud
music and I think they don't know if their anarchists
are quite what they are, but that seems to be

(22:32):
their jam, and it always happens. They just wait there
without speakers, it says the one starts talking, they play
stuff with it appeared to be silent towards the end,
and now shots too of his staff clapping him off
away from the elector and gorgeous summer day. In fact,
the press photographers and the press care are wearing bucket hats.
Would you know if from see in the UK it

(22:53):
seems like it's about thirty five degrees, so that is
something that is kiss Darma. He has gone. It appears
as though he will remain, but I guess not for
long that situation there. Anyway, back to the talk, if
you're all they had to me much talk to how
I'd like to get it going. If you do want
to kick in on this. Oh eight one hundred eighty
is talking to Kaha and the second league team for
the South side of how important that is. I think
it's going to be really important for christ Church and

(23:16):
the sustainability that that stadium. There will be a fantastic
thing to have happened. So that's that. Also, talk about
the commentators at the football today, how bad they were
and anything else. Yeah, but get in touch oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two detects

(23:38):
there's something else different you want to talk about. Feel
free be my guest tonight. No doubt a lot is happening.
But yeah, just if you've just joined us secures Starma
has resigned. I wonder if we did elect to an
outside government house. There's something quite fun and sort of
pomp and circumstance about that as they walk out from there.
That's the situation he has gone. And looking forward to

(24:01):
your discussion tonight. If you want to be on air,
oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two to text,
I would love to hear from you. There's something that
you want to mix, well, chuck into the mix. Sh
Someone says my teenage crush crushed. Cindy lauper Is seventy
three today always got on Live Aid. I thought hit

(24:23):
your lines well back soon. By the way, someone sent
me the consumer report on card plus the new card situation.
Although I'm not signed in so I can't get that. Judith.
It's Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
How Judith, even Marcus so to change just about crying
at the end of Tsummer's speech. In my mind, I
won't stray off topic. The first death reported off an
a scooter? Yeah, well I think that's so.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
What about the Has that just happened? Has it the
first death?

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah? It was reported today on the on the news, yes, whereabouts.
It didn't say.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's not news. I'm a I apologize for that.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It was someone, you know, I did read there was
someone to Worries supporter late at night. Yeah, okay, wow?

Speaker 7 (25:16):
Was that?

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Was it someone on a higher one or was it
someone on their own scooter?

Speaker 6 (25:21):
All East scooters are the same to me when you're
a pedestrian.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah I know, yeah, okay, no other vehicle involved?

Speaker 6 (25:29):
All right? You know, Marcus, I reckon they should wear
helmets and a fluoro vest and hob now boots.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I'm with you on the Fluoro. But I guess
there's another car. There was another car involved to this
person must have just fallen, you.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Know what, Marcus. Where I love Root, there's amazing pedestrian crossing. Okay,
so if you're pedestrian, I stop, I stop and have
a lot said they're going to stop or not? You
know these East scooters, they just go straight across like
they don't have to give way anything.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Where'd you get hit in the calves?

Speaker 8 (26:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (26:10):
I didn't get hurt.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I just asked if you've been hit? You said, yeah, No, I.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Just about got.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Okay close to call.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Yeah, okay, why didn't they put bells on their bikes?

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
But you know that makes the world too noisy? People
ding dinging? Where do you live, Judith?

Speaker 6 (26:26):
And nothing?

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Soak?

Can you get? Are they higher ones? Are those ones?

Speaker 6 (26:31):
Lime?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
And from Ingo? There are just privately owned ones.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yes, privately owned markers.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Okay, okay, yeah, maybe they need but we'll talk more
about that hopefully, Judith, we'll see fires tonight. But you're
getting nice to hear from you too. But thanks for
alerting me to about that. I hadn't heard about that. Well,
I had seen there was an excellent realiser. There's been
a fatality wearing a warrior's jersey, So get in touched
you want to talk on here about that, about that,

(26:58):
about Keir Starmer, about the league future for the South Island.
I think it's a very very important thing because you
might realize this, this is the other thing. The South
Island is booming. That's what the data is saying that
things are going very very well and they need to
probably take advantage of that and get some other stuff's happening.

(27:18):
That's my thoughts, So get in touch if you want
to talk on here. Anything else you want to mention tonight.
I am up for that eight hundred and eighty eighten,
but particularly if you're at Kahaf you're a worry supporter.
How good was that? Compare that to Mount Smart, compare
the rugby or compared to anything ready And ks Starma
has resigned in the first fatality on an ES scooter
and I'm pretty sure it wasn't eby, Yes, I've made

(27:40):
sure of that. So that's a situation there and Kirs Starmer.
I don't know if there's going to be a lot
of talk back about Kis Starma although I think what
you could say is that we are in kind of
a chaotic time of politics where we seem to chop
through leaders a lot more often than we probably once did.
I think there's been six prominents in the UK and

(28:00):
the last and also far with the New Zealand we
had luxA and we've had Hipkins with a Dern with
that key. Maybe not maybe five. Anyway, be in touch
if you want to fifteen away from nine thirteen to
nine back at your eight hundred and eighty, you know
that kes Dummer has resided effective until they have a

(28:23):
new The caucus will choose a new leader before the
end of the summer break. Hell, hang on for that
to happen, but all accounts will be the new guy.
That's just one that's seed up in Manchester. Eron it's Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 9 (28:36):
Yeah, Marcus, yeah, listen to that on you before then resignation.
I was surprised. I thought the way the speech when
and all the things he listened, I thought was going
to carry on.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, I think as listening your legacy for your for
your next year or something. Anyway, you sound like it
would have been better he had and got emotional towards
the end, because he held it together quite well. I thought,
I thought, probably it sounds quite good if you haven't.
You know, it's good if the emotion hasn't got to you.
I think in those sorts of.

Speaker 9 (29:03):
Jobs true, But I think it's when because that's that's
when he personalized it up till then it was all conditional.
And then when you speak about your family like that,
you know a real man can't hold it in. Let's
be honest.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 9 (29:19):
I think I respect him for choking up a little
when he spoke about especially I'd been worried if he didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Well, Boris Boris. I did Boris ever do a resignation speech?
I can remember.

Speaker 9 (29:30):
Boris has got like the five women and all sorts, so.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's complicated with have yes, that's right anyway.

Speaker 9 (29:39):
Yeah, so he's not emotionally upset about upsetting his wife,
whereas I think.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, oh yeah, he's certainly straight. Here's certainly no beds wherever.
That key of Star Wars a fairly rigide. Did you
sort of a guy?

Speaker 7 (29:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (29:52):
Yeah, yeah, So you know, the UK has had a
bit of trouble not being able to hold on to
a prime Minister for a term. I mean, that's not
a good look.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
But I think they're in trouble because the GDP has
tanked since they've got out of bricks that it's down
ten percent or something. So that's really where the probably
stem from.

Speaker 9 (30:11):
That's not what the speech alluded to. No, that aside.
Back home here in Hong Kong from christ Church, so
I went to the Warrious game yesterday. It was fantastic
in that stadium, walking down to the stadium, all the
people going crazy and having a good time. And it's
good to finally get an event from the league eaes

(30:33):
to get to. But it's only one and we need
thirteen a year in that stadium and there's only one
way to do that, Marcus. That's for our local team.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
And it's just a slam dunk, isn't it?

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Not last year? But the two years before that the
secondary schools competition for rugby league was won by a
christ At school on Saint Thomas's. They won it two
years in a row. So that shows some serious deaths.
And then you get players like the Gold not the
Gold Coaster Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, the Kickers he's from Yeah, he's from he's from there.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah, he's from eastern christ Church here. You know,
like we've got plenty of the players, and you know,
the NRL's got one hundred and fifty kiwi's in it anyway,
so it wouldn't be hard to have a seeker New
Zealand team. And you know, so no, sooner it happens, does.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
The does the council or christ churchs themselves need to
lead this and put money up front to attract is
it how it happens?

Speaker 10 (31:36):
Now?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Have you actually got a fund to attract the team?

Speaker 9 (31:41):
So I am on the inside of those conversations. I
know what they're looking like, so I can't say too much.
But it's all led by the NRL these days. So
the NRL aren't currently open to bits from like you know,
you and I and a whole lot of rich people
can't go, oh, let's put a team in here. The
NRL are really holding onto the game. They've built it

(32:02):
superbly well in the last five or six years when
other sports have been going a bit backwards stuff and
going up and up and up. They hold all the cards,
they'll make all the rules and from what I understand
is they want to open the franchises so if there's
one here, it will be owned by them and it
will be run and managed in the city. So that's
kind of the model they're going with, rather than other

(32:25):
professional sports models where the main body doesn't hote.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Them, but their major concern would be a stadium that's
fit for purpose. And they've seen that this weekend. They'll
be ecstatic because that's the one thing, indeed, something that
actually celebrates and enables your game to put on its
best showing. And that's what we saw yesterday.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
Yeah, and the last time the big games were here,
you know, Peterbalandi's and his sidekicks and stuff. They were
here for the Rugby League test that was at the
old Stadium at Addington and that was a full house,
and then they were here this weekend for this game.
So I don't think it's a coincidence that they were
in town watching the reaction in the city and they'll

(33:06):
just be looking going, how could we not have a
team here because that was so loud in there and
and a lot of those fans of South Islander's year
a few coming from a tort But that game sold
out for four days, Marcus, they could have sold it
twice over, so definitely a team here would sell out,

(33:27):
and I think a local team would sell out. You know,
the thirteen games a year in a stadium that site brilliant.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I'm going to run for commisera but thanks so much
for coming through seven from nine text. If you want
to throw away from nine, I hope it's good where
you are people on this fine Monday, oh eight hundred
and eighty ten and nine. Probably there's been someone's to
sit mere. Apparently there's been six eastcootered deaths in New Zealand.
But I guess it all depends on what's an estcooter
an ee bike because there are subtle differences. I thought

(33:58):
there'd been a few. That's quite a few now I
imagine it goes cars, motorbikes, bikes, four wheel drives on
far then e bikes or east scooters. I don't know
what the causes. I don't haven't seen the corridors reporter
all them. What the common vector is? What a dignified exit?
Someone said the very opposite of Boris Johnson's But yeah,

(34:21):
get in touch you want to talk. By the way,
I've really enjoyed the spinoff article today about the history
of fish and chips The very first fish and chip
fish and chips vendor was an invercargo which I saw,
so instant coffee and fish and chips, boy, oh boy.
I think we need to work to get that celebrated
with the fish and Chips and instant Coffee festival. I

(34:42):
reckon that would almost probably organize itself watch this space.
Haven't had any high level discussions about it yet, But
why has no one done a fish and chip festival.
I don't know what it would be. I guess you'd
just get different lots of fish and chips. But you
know when that's like the Hamburger Festival in christ Church
and the Meatball Festival in Napier Hastings just going to
start someway, don't you. But you were talking about that

(35:05):
and League Team christ after the noise of that event
at TICAP, So we are talking about that also tonight.
If there's a discussion or a direction you want to
take the conversation, and I am up for that because
I'll tell you what my topics have gone all right,
but one call completely about something different, one agreeing with me,

(35:27):
but will work out where we go with that. So yeah, no, no,
wait hitdle twelve welcome, good evening. Halfway through that. When
I say halfway through the year, is it halfway through
the loomy year? It feels like it's halfway mark anyway
where there've been the winter solstice, which I'm not feeling
out of love for the winter solstice. But the nights
get shorter, the days get longer. It's upwards from here,
but the earth cools down a bit more so the

(35:50):
colder months ahead of us. So that's been remarkably. I
went up the farm and I can't believe how dry
everything is and how much growth there's been. So it
seems like we've had a very every mild autumn in
the beginning to winter. Is it a good thing or
a bad thing? I don't know, but it certainly is
a thing I'm really happy to talk about. Well, there's
a lot of things I can talk about tonight, but

(36:11):
what do you want to talk about? First and foremost?
I thought that first half of football today was fantastic.
I just wish the commentators hadn't completely sucked the life
from the event. We needed our own commentators. I don't
think there was any radio thing you could switch across to,
was there? So that was a bit of a worry.
So there was that then of course too watching the
Warriors and christ each over the weekend. That was a

(36:32):
match last night extraordinary. But yeah, I wasn't there, but
people said the volume and the intensity was unbelievable and
that was a stadium that is absolutely ideal for rugby league.
And you've got a stateium. It's costing a fortune. There
aren't going to be many events that'll fill it. There'll
be an All Black match probably once or twice a year.

(36:53):
There will be hopefully a Super Rugby semi and final
and that's it. But if you get a core ten
to fifteen, twenty grand, twenty thousand people going every well
every two weeks to NRL match you're in Clover, there'd
be a fantastic thing. So yeah, I think christ Church
should move Heaven and Earth. To do that, they need
the league people to know that christ Church, the city

(37:15):
is on the move. It's to see that people are
loving and I'm sure they could. I don't know how
it works for players that if you've got a thirty
because there's how many teams are there now, seventeen is
it with two more coming? And you know it makes
it unwieldy for a tournament to be too big, But
certainly I think the NROLL needs to go to christ Church.

(37:35):
In the past I've talked about this, there have been
different groups involved, but now we've seen the stadium in
a game of League there and how well it worked.
That was the thing that was That just became a
absolute slam dunk for me. It needs to happen. So
that's something you want to talk about too, And I'm
get in touch Marcus if you need a new topic.
What are some things that happened between the scenes with

(37:57):
radio that listeners don't think about? Are there any secret
buttons and things? Who chooses the songs? What happens if
you get a looney caller cheers man always enjoy that? Well, no,
look at it's very simple. I come to work, I
push a button that connects me to Dan. I push
another button that turns the microphone on, and that is it.
In front of me, I have three screens. I have

(38:18):
a screen with the calls on it, and I click
on them. If I had to talk to someone, I've
got to screen with the texts, and I've got to
screen with the news. That is it. I've got three
screens and one button on a dump button. Don't get
rid of people if they've said anything that's defamatory or profane.
Mind you profane? These days, what's profane? A lot of

(38:39):
bad language seems to be acceptable more and more. I'm
kind of out of step with language. I don't love
it on air because I think once it starts, it's
hard to stop. It makes me sound of it prudish.
But you know that's the way I do it, So
that's a situation there. So yes, there's no real different buttons.
I've got a desk in front of me with with

(39:02):
sort of I don't know what you call them, like
sliding things that go up and down. I don't touch those.
I keep it for e very simple. I'm not here
to make my life more complicated. Hi, Marcus, I agree
that commentaries were so boring with no passion. I watched
the World Cup games with Spanish commentary so much better,
no idea what they're saying, but so much more epic.
Will you be watching any penalty kicks this year? Thanks Stefan.

(39:25):
By the way, I think the name All Whites has
done its dash. All the other team names are so good.
I don't know what the all whites should be called.
But it's not the all whites. I don't even like
the kiwis or something like that. That's just for me.
But yes, as I say, all the lines are free.
Thirteen past eight, be in touch if you want to
be Marcus till twelve. Come on, let's be hearing from
anything else you want to bang on about tonight here

(39:46):
own fish and chips. Never realize that they started an
in v Cargo in nineteen oh three. That was New
Zealand's first fish and chips free good article of that,
and the petwell and the news website the spin off
today the first fish and chips I can tell you
I've never known about this. The first dedicated fish and
chip shop in New Zealand is in the Cargo's London

(40:06):
Friday Fish Shop, opened by James Pomeroy in nineteen oh three,
imported deep fryer, a special stove and other appliances for
the rap and thorough cooking of fried fish and chip potatoes.
The combination makes a tasty dish. Of course, fish and
chips had been in test to London in eighteen sixty

(40:26):
by Joseph Mullen, one of a wave of Jewish immigrants
to just the dish of the UK and out of
half of the nineteenth century. Early English sources often referred
to bantered fish as Jewish fried fish or fish the Jews.
Way who knew? And boy, boy, am I going to
make a song and dance about that? That is in
vic Cardgol's claim to fame. That is fantastic all this

(40:47):
time and finally now we know thirteen past nine. If
you want to get in touch with anything else all
these topics, Marcus, I'll read the text and as I
wait for my calls speaking of fish and chips were
the best in Southland. Bluff Kitchen, Caravan, Bluff Road very good.
This morning there was a plane flying over ponts We

(41:07):
with a sign behind I could not read. I'd love
to know what it said, if anyone would know, would
be interesting. Thank you, sugar mounted and residents. We have
something to say about that stadium noise teasing haha. Silver
boots for the all whites, although that might be a
bad omen for second, the football blacks, the black boots,
the low card potatoes. Oh that's not for the football.

(41:29):
That's someone asking what's that about? But need your calls
tonight people fourteen past nine maybeyone's watching the football. Maybe
that's what that could be. What people have turned the
TV on and stuck there with a football. That's okay,
So it might be a chance you want to talk
about something else. My other topic are saving for later
on the week. Where are we with meat raffles? I'm
slightly involved with a meat raffle? Are they still a

(41:51):
thing at your local pub? Do they still have meat raffles?
And what amounts are the meat and how much do
you all pay? I've been asked to do some investigation
about meat raffles or are people now bidding and auctioning
different things at the pub? Meat raffle? So if you
do know about that, that's something that's important for me
tonight today. So yes, that's about it. Oh they're called faders.

(42:12):
They are too, those things that go up and down.
They're called faders. On my desk over a desk with faders.
So if I've got a guest, which I've never had,
they have a fader on their mic, I can play
music with a fader and that's about it. And I
can turn my phone levels up and down, and my
own microphone levels up and down the plane with the
band of this morning was a promo for a segment

(42:34):
on George FM. That's like HIBBITI hopperty, That's like, what
is this? What is George? If it gets around the
country now, isn't it? What would you call that? Urban music?
So like a grandad?

Speaker 7 (42:46):
Here?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Aren't I dancing electronic music? It's the home of sixteen
past nine o'clock. I'm enjoying tonight. I'm enjoying doing it
less amounts of talking? What else was I going to say?
My topics tonight? Meat Rafael, the league in christ Church,
Christian hips in Vocago. The other thing that people might
be struggling with winter toppings for porridge porridge, which is good,
but you need to mix up, don't you. We are

(43:08):
struggling with that. I'm saying I'm struggling, but yeah, it
all gets a bit samey, samey soon. Anyway, That's enough
for me, Marcus. Two questions which drive me crazy. When
the weather reports of temperature is going to be for example,
it's going to be fifteen, it feels like fourteen. Who
decides what it feels like? Extremely good question, extremely good question.

(43:30):
And another good question which I've often wanted myself, who
buys firewood from mine to ten at fifteen dollars for
nine pieces of tubular pine. That must be the most
expensive firewood ever. I might atten should be shaved of
themselves with sitting it at that price. It's unbelievable. I've
often looked at myself not cheapest creepers. Some poor people
can only afford a second. Well, it just doesn't make
any sense, but thank you for those questions. We might

(43:53):
need a silly questions answered kind of a night tonight. Ah,
maybe there was too many sweepstakes last night. Maybe I've
killed the show, do you think finally? Or we might
get a late flurry or a midden a mid early flurry.
But if any of these discussion topics are something that
will take your fancy tonight, be in touch, Marcus. The

(44:14):
only national sports team who got it right as the
Kiwi's the all right should be the Keys, so keywis
us in rugby league? Yeah back, catch your people? Eighteen
past nine, Oh goodness, twenty past nine. Are you going
to talk about Keir Starmer's resignation. Well, we have broadcast
as resignation and I have talked about it. But you

(44:34):
are more than welcome to although I imagine people's knowledge
of the British political scene would be slightly not as
in depth as local. But you feel free knock yourselves out. Well,
if you look at the situation with the Britain economy,
what it's done since coming out of Brexit, none of
it's been good. Did we report the other day that
said that the Britain's economy is growing slower to every

(44:56):
state in the United States? And if you'll find the
actual data for you, it's comparative to the economy I
think of Theuiziana or something down the list. He's not
going great anyway, nol it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
No, he's nice.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
You got good good?

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yeah, listen, I'm missed out on the real results of
your Do you call it the one for the time?
Six seventeen?

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yes, we actually went with six eighteen. But yeah, there
we go.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Well it's six seventeen, they said it on the radio.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I got it, I got it, six eighteen.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
There should have been two prize winners in the cold.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
There could have been if you gave it away.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Was it was there any blood leedding?

Speaker 9 (45:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
People pretty happy with it.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Because I thought someone and some guy has sort of
gone in about that time and taken over from someone else,
and I thought, oh, that would have been interesting. I
tried to get into here, but the plan, Yes, that
would have been really exciting.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
To make some way we actually did. I cooked on
the weekend for a recipe. They had half a pound
of butter. Yes, that's good, apple watert cake, delicious, But
I thought it was a lot of butter.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, well the batter of the price of butter, what
sort of prices you paid for the the it went
off from the If it did go off in the times.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Ten dollars a kilo, I think cost co.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
I know where it is a six dollars a kilo.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Where there'll be six dollars half a kilo, wouldn't it?

Speaker 1 (46:33):
No, no, for kilo please?

Speaker 11 (46:37):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (46:38):
And I also know where's thirteen bloody dollars? Ako?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Is it six dollars a kilo?

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Warehouse ninety five? It has been for a fortnight.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
For a kilo, or for five hundred grams.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
For a kilo? Well, your normal normal block.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Of butter, that's it's actually four hundred grams. Okay, brilliant, No,
thank you. Sure we're going to know about the price
of but at twenty four past nine, Peter Marcus, Welcome,
It's Peter. Yeah, Hi, Peter, greetings.

Speaker 11 (47:14):
Kiss.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
He's been a clever survivor of staying as long as possible.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
Was he there?

Speaker 5 (47:22):
Well, I think it's a But what I mean is
since people wanted to get rid of him.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
He is Oh, I see what. I see what he's saying.

Speaker 5 (47:29):
He's delayed as long as possible.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
And the other the other guy who was the heir apparent,
he realized he was overlooked. He went and was became
the mayor of Manchester and was loved and he need
to get back into Parliament before he could run at him.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
Yes, I'm not that impressed with him, to be honest
with who Andy Burnham.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Because do you know anything about him?

Speaker 5 (47:50):
Well, I saw him when he went against Jeremy Corbyn.
I think it's had to go three times for though
he has and I don't I think his batteries are
rather flat. And I don't think he's a leader.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Really you need to be leader? Would you need to
be a manager?

Speaker 5 (48:08):
Well, I don't see him, you know, standing for something
or wanting to do anything. In his career. He's been
able to be like an octopus in the sense of
being on message for whatever he happens to be doing,
whether it's Gordon Brown or Tony Blair or whatever it
happens to be. That it's interesting the Labor Party challenging

(48:31):
situation because you need so many people to nominate you
we are in Parliament and then you go, this is
what happened when I saw the Yeah, something like that.
And then Jeremy Corden was nominated, but they didn't expect
him to win and he did. And so there could
be some outsider who comes along and might connect with

(48:57):
the voticos too really to tell, but it's a bit
of a road show and they get asked questions and stuff,
and Jeremy Corbyn was the only one that sort of
had a different script if you like. The others sing
to be on the same page, like Jeremy Corden want
to get out of NATO, had a different policy towards Israel.
So I don't really see anything changing with Andy Burnham

(49:23):
at all. Apart well, I.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Think the whole point is that some new blood might
win them the next election and they might go back
to back through terms. Yeah you doubt it, but.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Well, it might be a short term spike that people's
cost of living is not improving, you know. You know,
they vote people out of office. They don't normally vote
people into office. And it's a bit like a New
Zealander Labor Party. Get sick of the Labor Party, they'll
vote for the National Party of the National Party. Get

(49:57):
sick of the National Party. A lot of them won't
turn up to vote. They'll just stay at home. And
that's when Bill English got that terrible result under MMP.
Because if don't turn up when you're going to lose,
you know, that makes it even worse, you lose even more.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
So I bet you they get a second term.

Speaker 5 (50:16):
Who are you talking about the Labor Party in the UK?

Speaker 11 (50:19):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (50:19):
No, No, I don't know what I'm saying, as I
bet you they will.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
Well, the thing is that so I bet one dollar?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Okay, sure, so not you're not that convinced. I don't think.
I don't think it's till twenty twenty nine, is it?

Speaker 7 (50:35):
Well?

Speaker 5 (50:36):
Yeah, the thing I don't think they'll go back to
the polls early, Okay. I think I think it's the
thing about the Greens and the Reform Party is that
they're polling very well, and this was a good sort
of tactic to try, and you know say that, you

(50:57):
know that they didn't win the last one, but you know,
the Conservatives won in Scotland because people are sick of
the Greens and they're sick of the Labor Party.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'll talk to in twenty twenty nine, Peter.

Speaker 7 (51:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
By the way, no one in the predictions printed Starma
would resign, just so you know, and our yearly predictions.
So there we go. That's the situation. Marcus, best porridge
topping is honey or brown sugar. Are you going to
talk about kir Starmer's resignation? Yeah, we did. I think
that was about as interesting as imagine it was going
to be. Marcus. You kind of and call those mighty

(51:31):
ten pecks as long as it's all compressed dust, good
fire starters, bananas. But if you can vest a little axe,
ray hatchet and chop your own, I've got myself a
wood splitage. It's good. Although the thing that the wood split,
If the wood splits and comes at your shin, we
have to go like Chris Wood and get the shin pads.
I think Marcus Chilli Nighting Upper Hit three degrees at

(51:52):
the moment, fire on cat the garage for the night.
Who'd put the cat in the garage? Apparently the Royal
Mousa at number ten Downing Street is fit and healthy
at the age of nineteen. Bring on, whoever the Prime
Minister will be get in touch. Marcus till twelve? How
good was to Kah for the rugby league? Let me
know about that. That's what I'll tell you what Luxon

(52:14):
should do that. You know that that scheme they had
to get Robbie Williams and Limp bisguit or something to
New Zealand. They should just take all that money and
give it to christ Church to attract the NRL team.
It would pay off in spades. Just give it a
straight bribe to the NRL. They seem to respond to
that for magic round and all those other things, and
they did that for the moving the state of origin

(52:36):
to Auckland. Meet raffles and pubs. How does your meat
raffle work? And does it work? I'm looking for some
customer feedback about that. The league for christ Church slam
dunk on my behalf or from me anyway. There was
something else of the topic list, but it's temporarily perplexed
me or escape me. But these suggestions, if you've got

(52:57):
other stuff you want to bang on about, name your price,
name your time when you come. So I adamant that
guy Peter, isn't he watch a bit of ol Jazeera?
Next thing? It's not that? That's that German that Russian one,
isn't it? Come on our powers out in New Lynn
a bus has gone into a power pole during the
after school run. That's Hutchinson's av Hutchinson's singular avenue.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Linn.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
No one were trapped, but the power lines are sagging.
Oh gosh, I know that area near margan av Where
did we stay? I think we stayed Seabrock. I've caught
that bus. Such a bus boar. It's not going to
be restored until three point thirty in the morning, So
in for a long cold night. In fact, what are
the chances you get a power cut on the shortest day?
Marcus the cat has to go in the garage or

(53:44):
as a three and wake up with the family. You
were meant to highlight the heater is on and there
for him. Oh that's free, magnanimous. Couldn't you a special
little sleeping bag for a cat that'd be adorable, is
Zipphiman or her that's what your cat needs? Or leave
the car running and sleep on the bonnet. Better catch
your people. Twenty eight away from ten o'clock. Now if
you want, if you've got some other special topic you

(54:06):
want to float, this is definitely the time. Oh, England
as poor as Mississippi. Yep, the country's out output per
purses just about that in Mississippi, America's poorest state. And
that's only chief thanks to London. So yes, the economy
is not going gangbusters a generation a go. Britain was

(54:26):
a major global power today and middling one, gripped by sclerosis.
There you go, twenty seven away from ten. The big
news is that Kirs Starmer has resigned. He did that
an hour ago. There's been a serious crash in Tallannaky
and an or Panaki State Highway forty five. Happened about

(54:47):
four thirty. Oh, so that's last week. But that pursus
subsequently died. It's the information I've got there for you.
And there's other stuff. Oh you talk about the all
black team. I did watch the other's a good game
of rugby that on Saturday. I don't know if I've
seen a team play that well, or I've never seen
a Super Rugby final so one sided. We've got a

(55:07):
German all black. We've got well the Dutch guys injured,
but that last year we had a Dutch all back.
They we've got a German all black. Sheever sweeps take
on what overseas country are next? You all black's going
to come from? We found that quite exciting. Is German
came across. He played for Nelson at fourteen or fifteen
or something and went all the way twenty six away
from ten backatcher. The Daily Mail is calling Kis Starmer

(55:31):
mediocrity in a suit. They're focusing on the hot sound
tech guy. That seems to be their angle. This is
the big international news with said Kis Starmer resigning and
there'd be a new prime minister after the Christmas or
after the summer break. Yeah, so that's what he has done.

(55:52):
He has resigned. Of course, he got caught up with
Peter Mandelssohn, who was all over the Epstein list, and
that seemed to be where it began to go bad
for him. So there we go. That is that how
you're going people? What's something? So I tell you what
I'm keen to talk about. I want to talk about
how good the stadium in christ Church was and how
that for the NRL people, the Landy's and abdoh and

(56:14):
all those people across, and they must have thought that
was fantastic. And if you were running a game which
is making a fortune, I would imagine you'd be wanting
games every second week there. So yeah, the population wise,
everything would indicate that christ Church should have their second edit.
And I've always been an enthusiast, but I've thought it's problematic.

(56:35):
But to see that warrious atmosphere on the TV last night,
whether that was phenomenal. So let's hope that happens. I
don't know how soon it can happen. Maybe Perth or Papua,
your Guinea mightn't pan out, but you want that to
do in the next three or four years while that
stadium is still fresh and exciting. I think the size
is fantastic too. You get twenty thousand every fortnight, you

(56:57):
get some of those hard shots coming across from the coast,
strong league place. You get three or four thousand coming
down from Nelson and Blenham Handmah, the Dunedin are working
people going up there for that you might get the
people from in Vocar. We're going up on the Southerner trades.
So there's that. So that's what I want to talk about.

(57:18):
How good's that and what it was like actually to
be there. Good to see Simon Mannering too. I've always
thought he was someone that I loved when he played,
and I haven't really seen much of him since, so
good to see he's still hanging around and turning up
for those sorts of things. Even saw ker and read
there as well. Now Ah, anyway, be in touch if

(57:42):
you want to, Marcus. Lots of people ever been in
their garage and a dirtbox for their cat. Thank you?
But there we go. If you want to talk on air,
that's the plan. And I think it's one of those
nights that another another topic might take flight, but I've
got no idea what it is. Twenty to ten, Calvin,
this is Marcus. Welcome. Yeah, a good Clavin.

Speaker 10 (58:07):
I was just running up about pub meat revels.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Great you sell that you're on the pokes are you?

Speaker 6 (58:13):
No?

Speaker 10 (58:13):
No, I'm in the I'm a throwing bus and Eden's
on my break.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Brilliant.

Speaker 10 (58:19):
What route Waverley bound out is one of the best
ones in the night.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Yeah, I like the Waverley Road. I love all the
I love it. A neat and bus map.

Speaker 10 (58:28):
Yeah, lovely views from other side of the city.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
You're right. Ah, yeah, the Waverly view is gorgeous anyway.

Speaker 10 (58:34):
Meat refels, Yeah, my liful one has gubis funds of
meat raffles latter who are are five dollars rafel or
five to twenty dollars. That's great.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Oh so you don't put five dollars in every every week, No.

Speaker 10 (58:49):
You're just going on the night they have it normally
Friday night.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
And one of the most sought after pecks of meat
that people that seem to sell the quickest. Is it sausages?
Is it chicken? What is it?

Speaker 10 (59:02):
They have a mate because they have about probably they
are grus because they have a lot of sometimes like
six hundred dollars of the meat they share out.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Okay, And what's the most sort after stuff?

Speaker 10 (59:15):
Ah, normally roast, I think.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Okay, so it's just one roast or the vegetables with it.

Speaker 10 (59:21):
Normally just roast. They just have meat with meat ruffles.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
Okay, do you want it?

Speaker 11 (59:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:30):
One a few times the roast or the whole Yeah,
the roast mainly, Yeah, mainly the always tough. If you
win the meat Raffle and then you end up having
a bit of a big night out, you can't find
it at the end of the night. Hey, you ever
had that happen to you?

Speaker 10 (59:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Not really, probably good things.

Speaker 10 (59:46):
I'm not normally like to drive home because I'm not
driving pretty normally. I don't normally like Joe had out
on the drink of.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Course, very sensible, Calvin. Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 10 (59:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (59:56):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
What is the lukcrave? What is the prize? What is
the best way to organize a meat raffle? Eighteen to ten?
Be in touch if you want to be a part
of it. There's something different you want great want or
want to talk about. Let's be hearing from you. Oh,
eight hundred eighty tent nineteen nine to text if you
want to be a part of it. I had a
mate called meat Pack. Always brought the meat packs. Great show.

(01:00:19):
Thank you, Marcus Key. We say for over sixty five
still working, lucks and miss the memohir sixty fives are
still working because I have to make ends meet now.
Someone said the game at Wellington Stadium was more exciting
than the goings on at the christ Ditch Player. It
wasn't really exciting because it was a foregone conclusion and
that was the final. That's not the weekly game you'd get.

(01:00:40):
That's the grand final of a tournament. Marcus went to
a meat raffle nine and fifty young. They had chuck
a chicken. The winner had a frozen chicken thrown at
them when they won. True story, Steve, have you never
known about chuck a chicken? What would be the angle
for that? There's to be a lot of different kind
of things at pubs to attract people. There's to be
frozen chicken skettlet and stuff. But it was kind of

(01:01:02):
phased out because I think they thought it was disrespectful
to the animals. I know they're dead, but that's so.
Once upon a time in the talkbacks golden era, there
was bars in Willington where you could have live gold
for shooters. Boy that that took years to quiet and
down on talkback cheap as. That was a big thing
in that. I remember that could remember I think was
root sixty six bar Marcus our pub meat raffles three

(01:01:25):
times thirty eight meat packs forty tickets two dollars each.
We made one hundred and twenty six dollars for the
pool team sometimes first and second meat pack four different
meats or chicken each pack. Michael, Why Papa Cody? Does
anyone get chill blains and winter? Never hear about them anymore?
Cheers Christine, It'll be the planet warming. What are chill blaines?

(01:01:48):
It's like one of those endless things you'd read about
on the lid of the Rawlees contained thinking who has
all this stuff? Impedigo and chill blaines? And goodness, I
don't know what chill blains are. I don't want I
don't want to know what other things because imagine there,
but you don't hear anyone talk about chill blaines anymore.
How did the Irish butcher introduce his wife meet Patty?

(01:02:08):
Very good? Well, I've enjoying myself. I hope you are.
Chet would have been exciting to have won that football
match today. Can you imagine I've playing the opening? I
was going to say, oh, well that's next year. Halburg
sorted moment, Team, individual everything, Coach of the year that
were if they all wanted to just hold on, it'd

(01:02:31):
be the Halburg moment of the Tea of the air individual.
The air Coach of the Year ed a story, clean,
sweep nothing. I mean, gosh, we've been so close. The
ideaed to dream I was going to call in sick
from work. Chair was exciting but not so leaky for
goals in the second half, and then complaining about the
ref which I didn't like. That never goes down. Well,
that looks like poor losing anyway. Someone says Riverhead tavern, meatpack,

(01:02:55):
topless waitress. I don't think that would be at Riverhead,
would they? Ill thought Riverhead was quite up market these days.
I'm googling that just because that would be an interesting thing.
Oh yeah they do. Oh no, it's at Tarapa, not
at Riverhead. Hey, welcome people, Marcus till midnight. What's happening?
Oh eight hundred and eighty to fourteen to ten? Oh,

(01:03:16):
Larry the Cat's been on Blue Sky again. On the
Larry the Cat is the cat from number ten Downing Street.
The cat has posted if rumors are to be believed,
I'll be living with a seven different prime ministers shortly.
If it carries on like this, I'm going to stop
making the effort to learn their names. I don't know
why they don't have the resignation's indoors. There must be

(01:03:36):
a theater retten side number ten because it's kind of
crazy that they will put everyone on the street and
there's always that protest that plays music. Although tonight I
think it was owed to Joy looks like a beautiful
down in England too. For what it's worth, Marcus, the
football is not the only World Cup. I doubt very
much if they won, they would win a Halberg. There
are still the Rugby League World Cup at Australiat the

(01:03:58):
end of the year. Oh no, if they won that,
they had won one match, they certainly would have won
the Halberg, because they've never done that. We've been to
three World Cups. We get to in a match. This
is a great sport, the world's greatest sport, the world's
most popular sport. That would be halbig worthy. I mean,
if you're comparing football to shot put or kayaking, it's
you got to where a Halberg full falls flat? Is it?

(01:04:22):
It doesn't take enough cognizance of how popular a sport is.
So yeah, if we had, yeah, I have no doubt
that would have won of the Halberg's that's just me though,
and now it's just a psychological thing. Was just a
it's just a hypothetical thing because the match didn't happen,
so blah blah blah. Yeah, so that's the thing. And

(01:04:43):
Kirs Starmer has resigned, well, he's announced he will step down.
It's the same thing, isn't it. I'm pretty sure that's
the same thing's gone Burger. I don't know the process
on whether he stays in politics because a new guy
might want him hanging around. But he seems straight when
he seems to be by the book, by the book, Barry,
I mean, that's probably his problem, as he seemed so

(01:05:04):
incredibly straight. He's not a lie. But yes, that's what's happened.

Speaker 12 (01:05:09):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
If you want to be a part of the show
discussion tonight and boy or boy, I've got some great topics,
but i'll tell you what we need the calls about
it or not. I'm fine happy just rambling on. But
people getting a little bit prickly with the text, But
that's all right. Sometimes happens after the weekend, if football
team might have won or something, people get a bit grizzly,
And that's all fine by me. I'm not quite sure

(01:05:30):
how Trump's pool is going now all the blue lining's
peeled off it. I imagine a lot of that stuff
will be available on eBay for people to buy as souvenirs.
It's like the new version of the Berlin Wall. And
I'm just trying to think of anything else I need
to tell you. That's exciting tonight. Yeah, anyway, my name
is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and

(01:05:50):
nine nine two to text. By the way, a family
of Australian influences in France. They makeeck other swimming pools
because their sons was wearing board shorts. Yeah, if you
go swimming in France, you've got a where euro shorts speedos?
Do you ever know what euroshorts are? Now, I've told

(01:06:12):
you about Kirsty by the way too. If you're out
of power and Newland, the bus has hit a power line.
So a bus has hit a power pole. The power
lines are sagging. That's going to take them ten out
or twelve hours to fix. Happing a half past three
it's going to be fixed half past three in the morning.
So if you're out power, we know what's happening there.
We go Marcus, Trump could learn a lot from the

(01:06:33):
boy with tape on his face. Someone says, why can't
Trump resign? Two? I don't think Trump is built for resignation. Somehow,
he's fight, fight, fight, So there we go. That's the situation.
It's four away from ten. A romance along. At midnight tonight,
people Marcus I follow a daily YouTube channel hosted by

(01:06:54):
a newspaper photographer in Washington, DC. He was showing they
now had to post ranges around the pull of Reflection
to stop people from tearing up the paint and selling
the pieces online. I think the paint was tearing itself off.
I think they were just gathering the loose bits. But
one of the guy they handcuffed was an Olympic kayaker
I think was a sport So yeah, there's not much

(01:07:14):
humor when it comes to that because the contract was
given to a Republican donor who had never done to
a pulled before. I mean, clearly took the money without
the ability to do. I mean it just seems so shonky.
So not is it full of our guy, but the
blue covering has all kind of disappeared, And that's the
story of the Reflection poll and it was all done

(01:07:35):
so it didn't look as scuzzy the water. By the way,
Keir Starmer's resignation is two years after his election victory.
This all follows through a turn of andy Burnham to Westminster.
He was the mayor of Great Manchester. But now he's
got back in in a by election. Everyone's freaked out

(01:07:55):
by Najl Faraja's party, but those sorts of parties come
and go. I would think I don't know if he'll
be around come the election. He might be, but we're
talking twenty twenty nine, so it's a while away. But
he has resigned tonight from the lectern in Downing Street.
Happened about an hour and a half ago. Oh hello people,

(01:08:16):
it's eight past ten. Now here's some of the stuff
that I've said tonight that you might be interested or
not interested in. I've talked about how underwhelming the commentary
was for the football the all whites. Now that's a
pretty obvious thing to say, but boy, oh boy, do
we miss a trick with that. It's all very well
that TV and Z hasn't got the money they once

(01:08:37):
had and whatever, but I'll tell you what I thought.
It was a point of pride for a big event
we've only been in the World Cup three times, is
to have our own commentators there to inject some buzz
and hype into the match. They sucked the life out
of it, the two of them. There was a man
and a woman, and boy, oh boy, were they uninteresting.
And particularly if you're not used to watching football. I
mean you think, oh, you know, it's I mean, once

(01:09:00):
we were hind it's not that compelling to watch. But
jeepest I could have enjoyed with stories, local commentary, talk
about how much a beer costs. You are obsessed with that,
all that sort of stuff. Nothing, So that was a
bit of a fail. We play Belgium now, we need
to beat Belgium and other things need to go away
if we go to the next part of the tournament.
Because it's not just the top two for every pool.

(01:09:21):
There's a whole lot of the threat because it's a
kind of bit of a janky tournament because there's forty
eight teams. That doesn't work well because you know they
need thirty two teams taken them too, sixteen to eight
to four to two to one. It's always going to
be doubling one two four eight sixteen thirty two. That's
the way it works. Anyhow, we'll be doing well to
capmind you, there's some good players in that team and

(01:09:42):
there are some players that can score and turn a match.
So hopefully after against Belgium will do something. I've also
been talking about that extraordinary event for the Warriors at
the stadium in christ Church on Sunday, and christ Church
needs to get an NRL team as soon as they can.
That would I mean since the quake the city has
rebuilt and reimagined itself. I think a new NRL team

(01:10:05):
to have that much action there every they've got their
accommodation to have that much action every two weeks would
be phenomenal. I don't know. If you're at that stadium
for the match against a fairly strong Cowboys teams, their
origin players were back. I think to Drinkwater player Cotton
drink Water it was good, but they said the volume

(01:10:25):
and the atmosphere there was like no other atmosphere to
sports festival event every in New Zealand. I mean that's
got to be something, hasn't it. If your own the
franchise of coushit Water think oh well, I mean you've
got a study of five hundred and six thousand people.
So there's that. Oh, Glen on way, Hicky thought the
commentators were excellent, good on yep. I suppose you can't

(01:10:47):
criticize the result. You can criticize the commentators a bit
of a low blow. And talking about meat raffles. Is
anyone going to a pub regularly where they've got a
good meat raffle something that's kind of mixed it up
a bit? So yes. By the way, Andy Burnham, the
Prime Minister in waiting, has posted on x care, has
given a huge service to our country. I want to

(01:11:08):
think him his leadership and dedications during such changing period.
His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it's
important that this process is conducted in an orderly and
responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of
this process. The country expects stability, seriousness, and continued to
focus on the issues that matter most, and that is
what it will get as we move forward. Our priority

(01:11:31):
must be to work together to get the country back
to where we will want it to be. People wanted
to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing,
an opportunity for the next generation. Political change should never
distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives. The labor
movement has always been its strongest when it looks forward
with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do

(01:11:53):
from here, and we'll make sure this transition is a
positive process of renewal for our party and our country.
So that is Andy Burnham, the heir apparent who will
take over almost certainly the Prime Ministership of the United Kingdom.
The other story I've been talking about, as it's been

(01:12:13):
revealed today, I wasn't aware of this that inver Cargol
was the home of New Zealand's first fish and chip shop.
I've never kind of wondered about the history of fish
and chips. I've always thought it was always here because
I'm not sure I know the technical I mean, they
didn't need electricity for fish and chips because in the
UK there is still coal operated fish and chip places

(01:12:36):
for the Fries operate on steam. So yes, I don't
know why that took you. I just thought it was
all people would always fried fish. I think it was
nineteen oh three Pomeroise, New zen got its first fish
and chip shop. So inver Cargol the first home of
where instant coffee was invented, and also the first fish

(01:12:56):
and chip shop opened from five o'clock to midnight daily
sad days from twelve noon Gosha nothing opened at midnight
nowet nineteen oh three you get fish and chips. A
good thing is it was called London Fried for shop
in nineteen oh three, an imported deep frier and chipped potatoes.
So look, as you can see tonight, I have been

(01:13:18):
shy of you calling or call. So if you want
to partake in this discussion, there might be something else
you want to say or talk about. Anything goes clearly.
I'm not fussy at this time of the night. So
if tonight's to night, if this is your jam, let's
be hearing from you. Ah, let me think of something
to Oh. The next football match is on Saturday three

(01:13:40):
pm and Dave Rennie's named is All Blacks which play
France July four in Christurch and tenth of July is
Matariki and then we've got the calm Games and Gloss
Glasgow twenty three July. But it's a it's a bastardized
kind of calm games because Melbourne couldn't handle the jendle.

(01:14:01):
And yeah, it's not gonna be very good this day.
Ninety six was mare Donna's hand of God odd goal
this day and fifty four Parker Hume. The murder happened
in christ Jurch when they killed their mother with a
brick and a stocking. I think it was a stocking. Oh,
by the way, and I didn't mention this. I meant
to mention this. I haven't watched the video, but there's

(01:14:22):
been criticism for how hard security guards tacked a pitch invader.
Good on them. What a moronic thing that is, streaking
pitch Invader's pathetic. Oh, I hope they're banned permanently from
And I'm not a law in order toughye, but that's
just mindless. Handle your alcohol idiots who'd want to do that?
So you aban them for more matches and name and

(01:14:43):
shame them. So that's that they don't deserve to be
supporters of the Warriors because they're not. That's crazy stuff.
The best person for pitching Vader was a Sokeru woman
that just gave him the shove and sent him spiraling.
Enjoyed that. Get in touch Marcus till midnight if you
want to be a part of it. Anything else? Oh,
let's be hearing from you. Oh eight hundred eighty ten
eighty n text. I'm expecting big news. Sometimes when night

(01:15:09):
start quietly, then something comes around that what it's going
to be, Daniel, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:15:16):
Daniel.

Speaker 8 (01:15:17):
Hey good, good to hear you. Good to hear you too,
Hey man, I just wanted your comments. What do you
make of visions to make his vil racious comments, which
is which came across on the news this evening.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Yeah, well it's not good and it doesn't it promotes
division and hatred and intolerance absolutely. Now the laws and
I think the laws should have been changed to that
hate speech was kind of frowned upon, but unfortunately that
didn't happen.

Speaker 8 (01:15:46):
Well, apparently the matter has been aloted by the police
and other appropriate bodies, and politicians should be coming out
and talking against what he's what he's been saying, because
he clearly is so he's going to be mad.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Thn can I I mean, I see, I mean, we
can't really say he's gone a bit mad. But I
see this as the death spiral destinies church. As they
fight for any relevance at all, they get more and
more desperate. I don't know how many people are turning up,
but I think it's game over.

Speaker 8 (01:16:15):
Well. I also glad to hears some feedback from the
other prominent politicians around the country. You know, the leaders
of all the other political parties. They need to step
up and then they need to need to know sort
of condemn this. I'm I'm not because it is inserting
racial violence. And I agree totally with Luxe and and

(01:16:38):
the police minister and know what they said tonight, and
it should not be tolerated by intelligence, you know, fear
amount in his Zealanders. This is nonsense stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
But as I say, I think Tomacky, he's this is
the beginning of the well, this is the end of
the end for him. I mean, he's tried to get
political parties going, He's tried everything, and he's getting more
and more desperate because the way he's trying to attract
attention is through out rage.

Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
Well it's not going to work because you know, the
ethnic people aren't stecred. And you also go realize that
you think people are not alone. The whole world is watching.
They have contexts all around the world. Wake up, you know,
and realize that you know, to get too far.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
It's a great day for siks in this country. We've
got SAPs sing only the first day ever seek to
play the Football World Cup and.

Speaker 8 (01:17:34):
Now additional to that the only second person from that
part of the World World Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Huge thing against India the most you know, India the
most populous country in the world. Yet No, that's just
but I think I think everyone I don't think I
think everyone realizes. I mean, I can't think of many
people that don't think Tomak is an idiot.

Speaker 8 (01:17:55):
Well, the police should be looking at them too, because
it's clearly insighting racial violence. So and it shouldn't be tolerated.
It should be knocked on the head.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
I can't say knock good on you, Daniel, thank you.
Nineteen past ten Marcus Andton's Barron Martin and then Marty Langy.

France sevenil. Yes, we just want to win a game.
We want to get through the next It's been three times.
It's my take. Twenty three past ten. People are Kis
starmersy ks Dama has resigned as the Prime Minister of Britain.
That's the news happened about two hours ago. Looking for

(01:18:47):
to your calls, Graham, this is Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
Yeah hi, I'm Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Graham as yourself? All good?

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
Yeah, good, Mike Goodhi. Just a little bit of news
about Destiny Church and Christ Church. I've actually just taken
over the lease of a wedding convention seed out the
old tie chap row at Rosendale Vineyards.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Oh yeah, they must be doing right there, then are they?

Speaker 5 (01:19:10):
Well I didn't know they were here. I thought they
were here a few years ago at Boys High but
they sort of got kicked out. But news reached me
today through a couple of people that they've taken over
the out of the vineyard.

Speaker 13 (01:19:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
Because funny enough, they started a church in south in
ver Cargol, I think, but then they see that that
building is now empty, so it looked like they had
to go and now not doing it, so it seems
like they're on a bit of an expansion. But I
guess it only works if people are going to turn
up for kind of well you're preaching.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Yeah, so I don't know how they'll go out there.
It's out of town. It's a little bit out of town.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
So yeah, it's not a bad idea to get wedding
venues because you've got car parking, averture.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
Well they've got and there's a huge kitchen the restaurant
and it's quite a big outfit. But it's gone quite
on the Armoris and they built it. So they're taking
on Destiny Church. Yeah they wedding surprise is actually because
I know the people.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Are what why the wedding place not go.

Speaker 5 (01:20:09):
No, no, all the restaurant there okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Yeah, I suppose you've got to fail off.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
From the river on the old type tap roads here.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
If you've got a failed place like that, I guess
you probably could get it quite cheaply. It'd be a
good place.

Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
Well I think they might as yeah. Yeah, down has
all the amenities and everything there so and it's nest
will doing know, quite a small vineyard are the are.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
The neighbors kicking up about it?

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:20:33):
I haven't heard any more than this that they actually
moved in, you know, while moving in?

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Good until Thanks Graham. There we go twenty five past ten,
eight hundred and eighty to Daddy Marcus till twelve. I've
got to be a part of it. Is it okay
to lie to a scammer? Yes, be in touch. If
you want to talk about near the topics for tonight,
well there's anything else you want to talk about? I
embrace that, so yes, I want to talk about the

(01:20:59):
second NRL team in the South Island that I think
is the major topic. But it hasn't flown yet, but
you never know. And meet raffles in fish and Chips.
If there is something different that you want to talk about,
something that I have bypassed, it's good. Bring it to
my attention. Please. It is onion ring day. I don't
think I've ever yeah, I think I've ever ordered onion rings.

(01:21:21):
Let's just put it that way. They are a takeaway staple,
aren't they. I do I'm not convinced that they am.
I just I'm sure i've seen them on those boards
and anyone is anyone whatsoever sticking up for the pitch invaders.
Security guards can do whatever they like, and I've got
no problems whatsoever because your people there to watch the game,
they don't want to see idiots. But I haven't heard

(01:21:42):
anyone that said they're appalled or standing up for the
pitch invaders. I was a local community board member, Ben
Spittle concerned at what he witnessed, Will hardened up. Yeah,
that's what you don't do it. Red Badge security guards
would be a terrible job standing there that last time
I saw the Red Badge people when they're at the
thought they're pretty good value. Actually at the old you know,

(01:22:04):
the Big Crisis, the big popcorn to this year and
christ though, they were really good. So yes, do do
Do Do?

Speaker 13 (01:22:13):
Do Do Do?

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Twenty six past ten, The night is flowing Toma's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 14 (01:22:21):
Yeah, Marcus mcgilfrid's brother is just over from Australia's flying
back now tonight to Brisbane. But he was telling us
New Zealand's doing a lot better than Australia. He reckons
New Zealand's going to pay its stet off in a
couple of years and Australia owns ohs one trillion dollars

(01:22:43):
a debt.

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (01:22:45):
Yes.

Speaker 14 (01:22:46):
And also on the West coast, we've got billions of
dollars worth of gold and rock. For it's in the
rock and it's thick as streams of gold in it,
and we're just waiting for a crusher. The New Zealand
we never hear this news. We always see a negative
stuff about New Zealand. This country is very, very wealthy

(01:23:08):
from his point of view.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
And is this your cousin?

Speaker 14 (01:23:12):
Did you say that's be Gilfrid's brother. He's he's a
key with he's been Australia.

Speaker 5 (01:23:17):
For forty years.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
Is he an economist?

Speaker 14 (01:23:20):
No, No, he's an old man there, but he's been
there for forty years. He's a retiree and he reads
and he's a very skilled mad and things, and he's
been a miner in his days. New Zealand's very very wealthy.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
Because you don't get that sense, do you, No, we
never hear talk like this.

Speaker 14 (01:23:39):
We're always on the freaking negative, as if it's a
big cover up. They're trying to get all of us
young ones over in Australia to get rid of him
because they don't want him here. It's a freaking conspiracy
be going on for a while. That's what I'm starting
to believe.

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
The people are choosing to move to Australia. No one's
asking them.

Speaker 14 (01:23:57):
To go, but we're telling them false use here in
New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
But if they can't get a job here and they
get a much bit of job over there, that would
indicate things PEPs there and the groceries are cheaper, that would.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
Under he said.

Speaker 14 (01:24:10):
Rent over there is very very high. Rent is friggered high.
If you get a job and you go to work
a bit paste. If you go to work three times
and they frigged drug testing. This is on dea, not
on drugs. Your sack automatically, they give you three warnings.
And the traffic fights over there. He told me, if
you have a teiphone sitting on you figure the lap,
you get done big time by the cons Is.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
It a good thing or a bad thing that you
can't go to work drunk?

Speaker 14 (01:24:35):
Well, once upon a time the New Zealand your cod,
but you can't get any more over in Australia. They're
really frigging heavy on you. It's it's yeah. When I
found out about the debt Australia. Oh what trillion dollars?
I thought that this ow Oh here, we never hear
about their here. We always hear about Oh, it's the
golden lead. You know, the grass is greener on the

(01:24:57):
other side. It's not true, markets, it's not true.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
Are you on the coast?

Speaker 14 (01:25:03):
Brought up on the coast, but you're on the coast.

Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
Are you on the West coast?

Speaker 11 (01:25:09):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:25:09):
No, I'm not on the West coast.

Speaker 7 (01:25:10):
But he grew up on the West coast.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
Not yet. It should be Tom Brilliant getting touch ed'll
twelve Marcus. I reckon the security guards ought to ignore
the pitch invaders. They would look pretty stupid and they
remove themselves. It's a good point because actually what they
try to do they rather than what they do. That's
a good point. It's not Destiny Church, it's Grace Vineyard.

(01:25:33):
Moving from using a school in Wigram very different or
there we go, So it's not Destiny, it's Grace Vineyard.
But it's funny that Grace Vineyard would be in a school.
But I think with churches they often have they got
like why is it that metaphor with vines and stuff like,
I don't not fully cognizant of that seems to be

(01:25:53):
growing quite quickly. Grace Vineyard Church looks like the only
show in town actually about us. They've got five groups
started nineteen ninety nine. They might be the ones that
are going to the wedding venue. That's my belief. I'm
just looking at the locations now, City Campus, Beach Campus,
Planes Campus, West Campus, or maybe it's not there. I

(01:26:15):
don't know. I'm not an expert on religion, far from it,
and generally tend to not give opinion. Each to their own.
If that's your thing. If Sundays at church is your thing,
good on you. If pitch invasion as you think, they're
not good on you, that's destroying other people's enjoyment. Tackle
them as hard as you. I'd give them rubber bullets,

(01:26:35):
but strong because a lot of those Red Guard people
don't look like the fittest people ever, and it's embarrassing
for them. They paid their minimum waves. You've got to
tackle people in front of thirty thousand people. Be embarrassing
if you weren't good at it. I've never seen a
guy go from Red Guard to be picked up by
one of the NRL teams for their tackling. That'd be
a great story. That would be actually, wouldn't it. Guy
just turns up and tacks tackles of pitch and vy.

(01:26:58):
Next thing you know, it gets to call up for
the team. Now, gosh, we've got the ignominy of the
player ratings of the All Whites team. Oh yeah, I
thought it was. It's good to watch, but wouldn't be
an exciting night. And if we'd won, that would I
mean phenomenal twenty seven away from eleven o'clock. So the
news tonight, the news is all about Starma, Sir Kia Starmer,

(01:27:18):
who has stood down or quit or whatever you like
to say, but is still a politician, and there will
be a caucus election to see who the new Prime
Minister of the Labor, which is not really the way
it happens in New Zealand. Well, yes, the case. It's
more like you get together and you roll some and
that way seems slightly more elegant or slightly more dignified.
For the person that's rolled, I guess, not looking good

(01:27:40):
for the woman that got attacked by the shark. And
could she critical but stable condition. It's expected this will
remain her condition for some time a long road ahead.
So what they're doing now is they're getting drones because
they didn't have drones that could you because of the
airport that was nearby. But I think the big thing
for Sharks is droned.

Speaker 7 (01:27:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
It's twenty five away from eleven. If you want to
talk here til twelve. Trying to get you on pitch Invaders,
but I'll try and get you on the second big
team for New Zealand. Also, by the way, the football
ferns are a player, so the all whites the football
replayers happening now, Yeah, I'd like I'd like the name
of the all Whites to be changed. I know, I
don't know anyone's complaining about it. The Egyptian team was

(01:28:22):
called the Pharaohs. I don't think that's a very good name.
I don't think the Pharaohs would be a group you'd
aspired to. Were they the despots and tyrants? I would
have thought, I don't know what's a good name for
a football team, a national football team. But she cape
Verdier doing good, aren't they? Goodness me?

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Oh, come on, Marcus and the Bible Jesus says I'm
the vine and you are the branches, meaning the branches
of the churches spreading the world. Great response makes perfect
sense to me. There you go. That's good. And as
you can probably tell, all the lines are free. If
you want to come through and discuss what is going on,

(01:29:03):
there is something else you want to talk about, that
is your right, and i'd actively encourage that. If you
got something really fun you want to talk about, brilliant,
bring it on. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Now,
let me think of anything else that I haven't missed
in the news or I have, mister, the news that
we need to talk about. Let me have a bit
of a quick look around if there's anything that's actively

(01:29:27):
important tonight, making sure we haven't missed anything. Kind of
feeling there's going to be breaking news to ll I
guess we've already had some breaking news with Kirstarma. Let
me have a quick squizz round. No, nope, nope, no,
come on, oh, eight hundred eighty to ten eighty, nine
to nine to to text if you want to talk.

(01:29:49):
I thought, Oh, don't you know what I spent most
of the week in doing. Most of the weekend I
spent sorting out lego incredibly satisfying getting all the figures
out of our giant two plastic clamshell pulls full of lego.
One of the things you started you couldn't stop. Very satisfying.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
That was me.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Didn't take most of the weekend, but took a lot.
Must take in ten hours with help. I don't know
why all the mini figures were in there. They're much looking,
much freer out. I think we got most of it.
It's impossible to tell. I wish we had a giant
lego SIEV. He's free, satisfying, sitting in front of the
fire doing that, watching a bit of sport, watching an
extremely good game of club rugby for the under tens

(01:30:32):
or the ten and unders and the weird tremendous, one
of the greatest games of rugby. I've watched eleven aside
with no substitutes in the rain and the mud, fantastic
team that's been together since they were five with g
they played well, So there we go. That was that.
Forget the name of the team, otherwise I tell them anyway,
twenty to eleven, Marcus till midnight. There's something different you

(01:30:54):
want to talk about, Bruce. It's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:30:56):
Welcome and good evening because congratulations. You were elected to
represent your local people.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Oh about a year ago, would that be right? You
talk about council.

Speaker 11 (01:31:09):
Yeah, yeah, I'm on the.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
Un vocable council, that is correct. Yeah, well I don't
talk about it much on this on this the show,
but you never know.

Speaker 11 (01:31:19):
Well, I am treasurer of the PACA or community Residents.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
Association, voted or anyone that's done.

Speaker 11 (01:31:30):
Well, it's a bit of a difficult story really because
the the the dead lawyer next door where I live,
obviously in Backel, he stood up and said, the only
way we can fight the council to protect our homes
from the coastal erosion which is going on here, is

(01:31:51):
if we form an association, because if we formally incorporated association,
we have better access to the council. Anyway, that happened
public meeting and I didn't know nothing had been said,
and they said, I think we should elect my name,
which I won't give because he's got enough money not
to steal from us.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
So anyway, extremely smart decision. Fettering to you tell you.
They go, oh, well that's good that the local community
think that I've sorted Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:32:21):
Good, well, yes, anyway, have you been following.

Speaker 2 (01:32:28):
The news stories with people building illegal walls.

Speaker 11 (01:32:33):
No, I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
Well, there's quite a lot going on. There's one attacker putter,
there was one on Point Wells that people are doing it,
and there's all sorts of long fights with councils after
they do it.

Speaker 11 (01:32:44):
Yeah, well that was why I wanted to ask you
this question. As I understand it, I pay my rates,
which pay what seemed to be the quite extravagant salaries
of the TDC executives.

Speaker 7 (01:32:57):
Is that correct?

Speaker 11 (01:33:01):
Yeah, yes, so I pay their salary.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
And I don't I don't think the salaries would be
extravagant when you look at the number of staff that
they are looking over. But that's by the buy.

Speaker 11 (01:33:13):
But yeah, well, well I think they could do with
far less.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Yes, but you probably would. You probably would get people
that were that you'd probably get people that were of
a lot less availability. Okay, and then they put a
text staff or a trick staff or retained staff.

Speaker 11 (01:33:31):
But what seems to be happening is as the packwork
Community Residence Association asked for permission, we've just managed to
protect six houses. But the asking permission thing, we're not
talking about the construction work, which is probably about thirty
thousand dollars per property. Just asking permission from the TV

(01:33:54):
seed to jump over all the hopes is cost us
over one hundred and eight thousand dollars. It just seems
extraordinary because if we hadn't put in an application and
not for permission, all these people that have been paid anyway,
there's something going wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
What do you want the council to do? Do you
want the council w to see wall?

Speaker 11 (01:34:15):
No, we don't know. The council don't have to pay
for anything. This is just asking for for permission to
do it, for the people to pay for it themselves. No,
we don't want the council to pay for it the council.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
No, we don't want other You can't just put You
can't put a legal structure on the beach, can you,
because it's not yours?

Speaker 11 (01:34:33):
Well no, we're asking to just simply protect the remaining reserve.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
But you're putting up a structure not on private lane,
on public lane, right, Well.

Speaker 11 (01:34:48):
I'm not sure how you would define it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
It's not on you. The property, the war the wall.
You're not putting up on your property, are you?

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:34:57):
Correct? We're putting up on crown property, which is why
we're asking for permission. But we're also protecting and it's
stat eblishing a small reserve in front of these properties. Anyway, No,
I just wondered, why why do we have charges for
the people just to ask for permission to do this.

(01:35:20):
I don't understand that we're paying their salaries anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
It's probably to yeah, look, I can't I can't answer that.
Have they answered that for you?

Speaker 9 (01:35:30):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:35:30):
I thought i'd ask you. I trust you.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
You know that's a completely it's just trust me, bro.
Maybe someone else has an answer. Thank you fifteen to
eleven eight hundred here or midnight, you know the rest,
whatever you got up for it, Marcus, I wonder why
granted this? But the long time very good Test Rugby
commentator with the golden voice has never been named broadcaster
of the year. I don't think we have a category

(01:35:54):
for broadcaster of the year. There's the TV Awards for
Presenter of the Year, but he probably wouldn't enter a
lot of these things that comes up for people themselves
to winter Marcus. We should should we changed them with
the all blacks? If we change the all whites name, Marcus,
we need to discuss the increasing amount of people running
red lights intersections, the amount of drivers driving thirty to

(01:36:15):
forty kilometers brow and our motorways in Auckland, and what's
the purpose of those cameras where nothing is done? Marcus,
why would you change the name of the All Whites?
Do you have any opinion some of the All Blacks
or do you think there is more exciting names to
choose for our national football team. I think they call
themselves the All Whites because the All Blacks was the
big name and the All Whites was sort of it's

(01:36:37):
subservient to that name. I think it's demeaning to the team.
I think the team needs to find their own name
from their own sport. Because they're a great team that's
gone to three World Cups. They've outgrown that name. I
believe something to do with the word white or black.
It's just a name that I think is it's a
bit cutesy. Oh, I've got the All Black se that
it's called the football team the All Whites. I don't
think it works for us. It doesn't mind you. I

(01:36:58):
don't think the soccer rus is a better name either,
but just don't think that it inspires I think it's
I think it's a I think it's lame. Now the
cross I'm going to die on. No, but I'm trying
to run a talk show. So that's my angle. Twelve
to eleven. Hello Graham, this is Marcus. Welcome to the
air waves.

Speaker 12 (01:37:17):
Oh hi, I'm Marcus. I'm probably a little bit off
track with all the variety tonight, but I'd just like
to give some positive affirmation to something great. I my
wife had a bad knee, and we waited two years

(01:37:39):
for the hospital system. I went to private and was
quoted thirty five grands, which I haven't got. And I
waited two years, and I was noticing my wife becoming
a couch potato because she couldn't walk, she couldn't walk
the dog anymore, and so on. So I made an

(01:38:00):
appointment to see Tom Rutherford, who said Western may MP
and I saw. I made the appointment Monday. He saw
me on the Friday at twenty past four. He said
to me, can you give me a bit of paper
that let me act on your behalf?

Speaker 5 (01:38:21):
And I said yes.

Speaker 12 (01:38:22):
He says, I'll get this sorted or something underway before
I go home tonight. And there's a bit of a joke.
I looked at him, or it wasn't really a joke,
because I'm pretty serious guy time. I said, are you
summing this up Tom from your heart or as a politician?
And he said, no, I'm doing it because I want

(01:38:45):
to do it for you, and I believed that. That
was Friday. Monday, I had a call from the hospital.
They said, we've had a complaint and we're going to
do a full inquiry. Two weeks later, we're in there
seeing a surgeon who's told us the original X rays
were done incorrectly and the knee was a mess. We

(01:39:10):
waited three more months and she's had it done and
she had to go into the hospital system. She couldn't
be outsourced because of other medical issues, and so they
needed to back up in the hospital after operation. I

(01:39:31):
went in and she Graham, these nurses are marvelous.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
So how did he get so convinced that there was
some the hospitals had done wrong? I can't work this out.

Speaker 12 (01:39:43):
Oh well, what did Marcus? I put together a dossier
of how many times we had been back to the
GP had sign and the original X rays were done.
I could be wrong here, may have it the wrong
way around. For you, but they should have been done

(01:40:04):
standing up at the first swans were done with the
who's sitting there?

Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
Wow, what a great thing to do, Graham. That's a
good story and I appreciate you coming through with that. Yeah,
thanks so much for that. That's excellent. Seving away from eleven.
By the way, I don't know if I told you this,
but news talks he'd be is one hundred next month,
no August. When I say news talks, he'd be I
mean news talk ones. He'd be We started at one's,
he'd be then we we're always ones. He'd be about

(01:40:30):
nineteen ninety one. I think that we government owned excuse me,
and then we and then we became then ones he'd
be two, three, he'd be four's, he'd be combined to
become news talks. He'd be but ones. He'd be started
in Wen's Arcade at the bottom of Queen Street, going
from Queen Street onto Key Street, of Customer Street whatever

(01:40:52):
that bottom one Comme Street, and that was in there
was one hundred years ago. So that's the thing. I
don't know what we are doing on here to commemorate
or not commemorate, to celebrate that, but watch the space
because that's a big I don't know how many radio
stations around the world would be one hundred and still going,
but yeah, it would have been a When I first

(01:41:13):
started this radio station in nineteen ninety, we were still
a government station, but we were part of the prime
you know, we were we were commercial, so you could
have commercials, and we went like national radio. But that
was a long time ago. And then I forget, I
don't even know who the first owners were. It went
through all sorts of I mean, the media landscape is

(01:41:34):
pretty confused and pretty dynamic, but that the situation. So yes,
that's the thing that's going to be one hundredth anniversary party.
None of the originals. I don't even know who the
original lineup. Well, I don't even know what sort of
station it did, No doubt we will find out. I
presume it was music and information. I'd ever know where
it was broadcasting from or how big the audience would

(01:41:54):
have been. A lot of people wouldn't had radios in
those days. But of course after World War One, before
the depression, so it must have survived the depression and
before World War two. So yeah, it's a bit of
an interesting history for you. So the one hundredth anniversary.
It's one's dB not too because it was five. There
was one he'd be, two Z'B three Z'B, four's'd be

(01:42:16):
and five's it'd be was a railway carriage that moved
around love that greeting's welcome hital twelve were too about
the history of one's y'db. I didn't say that one
y'd be starts one hundred years ago. Next month or
the month after the next about six weeks time, someone
has texted me and said Marcus Zedby was in It
was interesting you say something people say something. One's 'db
was in the large deco broadcasting house in Durham Street,

(01:42:38):
yet not originally it's done in Queen's Arcade. I don't
think that the Durham building was until the nineteen fifties
or the sixties. In fact, when I first started broadcasting
and news talk Z'DB, we were in Durham Street, so
that is true. We're in Durham Street. Then we moved
to the corner of Cook Street and Nelson Street and

(01:43:00):
we're there for about thirty years. Then they moved to
Arthur Street, which is where they are now. So it's
I believe probably that went from Queen's Arcade to Durham Street.
I believe that was probably the first move. So yeah,
it says originally, it says the gourd to Wikipedia, the
history of news Talks he'd be dates back to nineteen
twenty six when Auckland station one ZEDB was first started,

(01:43:21):
originally broadcasting on ten seventy then to ten ninety, the
n to eleven ninety, then ten eighty and nineteen seventy eight.
The station's brand name was the station's call sign one
z B z B. Station was stablishing the four main
sentences in and as one z'db all t W, threez
be christtage and four z'd be d Neden and I

(01:43:43):
will add that five z it'd be was a train.
Up until ninete eighty seven, the four z'b stations were
a music station, running a mixture of local and network content.
Each other individual station then the news talks that we
had its own history, with most stations starting out as
local AM radar run by Radio New Zealand. One did
be originally operator from Broadcasting House, a purpose built modernist

(01:44:03):
theater and studio built on Durham Street from nineteen forty
one until it's demoshed in nineteen ninety. Yeah, that is
not quite right. Of course we were in Queen's Arcade before,
but this history become more apparent as we become familiar
with it. For our anniversary, of course, in nine ninety
seven it switched to news Talk with Paul Holmes and Yadia.

(01:44:23):
So that's just a bit of interest for you. So no,
it didn't start on Durham Street. Just so you know,
she quite a big who would put together that Wikipedia page.
It's quite a complicated, complicated thing anyway. So we are
talking about the second rugby league team for the South
Island after the success of Takaha Stadium, meat raffles and

(01:44:45):
all a matter of stuff tonight. So if you want
to talk about any of these things. It has been
a patchy kind of a contribution for people to know,
we'll not patchy, but there's been no hasn't been single
It's not a single issue night. We've bounced around with
different things. And I've just been reading during the news.
I was surprised to see that Stonehenge took fifteen hundred
years to well, for goodness sake, what were they doing.

Speaker 9 (01:45:09):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
What do they try to make out the pyramids were
built by Martians when the Egyptians were so much quick
with the Pyramids and they were with Stonehenge. What's that about.

Speaker 15 (01:45:20):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
Texts Marcus. A farmer in Britain was driving his truck
past the dam on his farm and a bale of
hay fell into the water. Three years later he noticed
the al guy had. Three weeks later he noticed the
alguay had cleared from the dam. Sign has found a
chemical and the hay cleared alguy. Who heard this on
the BBC? Wonder if Trump knows about the possible algay remedy?

(01:45:43):
Are you aware? Hamilton Fire Brigade has been given permission
and apparatus that controls the green lights intersections. I don't
know about that. I'm not surprised they have, but thank you.
That's interesting information. Welcome to it if you want to partake.
All the lines are free. It's eleven eleven. I thought
Stone Hinge would have been built in about two years.

(01:46:04):
Fifteen hundred years. Of course it's a long time, but
there we go. What I do like about this guy?
Andy Burham, the King of the North right, is catching
the train to London to check and as a politician.
Good on him. The other story that is interesting, there's
a Berry manloa who knew that Berry Madelo was still alive.

(01:46:26):
There's a Berry Manloe impersonator and him and his partner
spent two and a half thousand pounds on VIP packages
for a Berry man Manelo show in Liverpool which included
a meet and greet, and Barry Manilow refused to meet him.
He didn't like his wig or his outfit and thought
it was really insulting, which it truly is so good
on your baza to know how you and Berry Manelow

(01:46:48):
would be have a guess we might have a sweepstake.
Would he be eighty two? That'd be my guess. I'll
google it now. He might even be older. I mean,
Ingebert Humpeting still touring and he's about ninety four or something.
Eighty three not bad, Marcus a year off. And my
major topics if you want to get outraged by anything,
how bad was the commentary for the World Cup? Firstly?
And secondly people are moaning about the pitch invaders getting tackled.

(01:47:11):
What else they're supposed to do with them? I thought
it was fantastic. I didn't see it myself on the camera.
I did watch that match. I thought it was fantastic
to get Jordan Luck, Peter Erlich and Mark Williams. I
think that was all on State, the lead singer of
the Dudes, the lead singer of the Exponents, and the
lead singer of help me out with this one. But

(01:47:34):
the three of them together thought they, I mean, jeepest, creepers.
You know how come League does it so well? Why
weren't they at the final of Super Rugby? I mean,
jeeps creepers. That's the Mount Rushmore and he's inating rock
to get Jordan Luck and Peter Erlich and Mark Williams
thought that was fantastic. I wish they had more of

(01:47:54):
the coverage of that run. That stupid guy from the
tab doesn't maheaden dragon, of course, always going on about
a malty and stuff like that. Can't we just watch
sport without it being contaminated? Vibe the stench of gambling.
Jus Janet's Marc is grieving and welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:48:14):
I start laughing before I even get started about the
stone hinge. Of course, it took so long because those
flying dinosaurs kept dying and they had trouble finding more.

Speaker 1 (01:48:34):
Them.

Speaker 15 (01:48:35):
Yeah, and some of them got quite vicious, so quite
hard to catch, you know. And with the pyramid, of
course they had the big hearing memis big hearing mem
with the elephants to pull all the great big rocks.
And then of course they used the flying dinosaurs to

(01:48:56):
lift the rocks up into the high places because the
mammoths couldn't reach up there.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
What would be what would have taken longer the pyramids
or stone hinge to build longer.

Speaker 15 (01:49:08):
Well, look, if you haven't got these flying dinosaurs, well
that's now what Thatt means. You see, didn't have helicopters.

Speaker 13 (01:49:17):
Then.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
I am serious. I know you're trying to take this
talk back shore on a nonsensical way, Jam, But do
you think I'm enjoying that? I feel that's I bet
you're loving it. I think I wanted something quite happy
because the pyramid, the pyramid took twenty years, stonehehedge took

(01:49:40):
fifteen hundred years.

Speaker 15 (01:49:42):
Yeah, because something they had to had to travel over
to Europe to find these flying dinosau there we.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Go there, Okay, we'll leave it there, Jem, but thank you,
it's not your best work anyway. Eighteen past eleven, turtle twelve.
They're flying dinosaurs. Oh imagine how long it would take
to get the resource consent to build Stonehenge today? What
about the pyramids? Also, the number of road cones that
would be required. I'm surprised those rocks are just perched

(01:50:10):
up on the other rocks. While we'd won that game
in Vancouver, running around Orcky Base and Auckland as the
caller Tobby, there we go. I would be fine if
we'd won that game. I thought we were going to.
I had my whole night planned of talkback talking about
the Halbergs would win the lot best player, best team,
best moment, best coach, best event. But just I tell

(01:50:31):
you what, Egypt came back different team, and I guess
that's coaching. They worked out what to do with different tactics.
I thought it was a shame they complained about the
ref and made it about the ref. But yeah, I mean,
I don't know enough about it. Seemed like it seemed
like it was a fair match, and certainly there were
Egypt had the support of the crowd. I mean there were, yeah,
the Egyptians and they're red. They were dominant. But yeah,

(01:50:54):
it was let's hope we went against Belgium, it goes through.
I think it's for unlikely, but you never know. If
Cape Verde's got two drawers and could be going through
half past eleven. Poul Thanks hanging on their good eve, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:51:07):
There you go late at night. But I caught on
an area a friend. But this one was a sports
show tonight.

Speaker 5 (01:51:16):
Who was on?

Speaker 15 (01:51:17):
So?

Speaker 7 (01:51:17):
I was it? Arciel Jason?

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
I think it's the announcer's name is Jason Pine. I
think he's in Vancouver, Darcy Jason on tonight and not
trying to beg you guys, but I got all you.

Speaker 7 (01:51:28):
But because it was all about the Hurricanes men, I'll
tell you what. Everybody should be talking about them. But
today we had something special in the World Cup with
all whites. Now I felt a bit disappointed that it
wasn't mentioned me and I'm not turning it trying to
attenue in to show it to the sports show, but
it could be.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Markish Hangle, pull your lines not good? What are you
upset about?

Speaker 7 (01:51:54):
Okay? Can I just move? How are you now?

Speaker 3 (01:51:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
But what we're upset about?

Speaker 7 (01:51:57):
I'm not upset so much, but just I wish there
had been something given to the boys today with the
against Egypt in his show.

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
On Jason's Show, I think it was Jason.

Speaker 7 (01:52:09):
I thought it was Darcy tonight, but it might have
been doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
Work, Yeah, I think so. I didn't hear the show
was the most of the show that was.

Speaker 7 (01:52:16):
All about the Hurricanes.

Speaker 16 (01:52:18):
And I'm not begging that, mate, because I'm a Hawk's
Bay boy, even though I have an auton at the moment.
But you know, but anyway, back to the soccer today, Man,
there was an example you said to bring up the soccer.
We may be disappointed because we lost free one to Egypt,
but whenever, okay, we held a team sixty places above
us one all in front. We let it half time

(01:52:39):
for sixty minutes of that game, and those boys that
are pasted chore.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
You'd have to say the performance against Iran was better, though.

Speaker 7 (01:52:48):
I'll tell you what. The start to our game was great.
See that came out firing, and man, that first goal
was absolutely it was like I was orchestrated. What it was.

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
It was a plan and it was a plan and
it was a plan. It was a plan move.

Speaker 16 (01:53:07):
It was fantastic. But I think fitness got them again,
and that's a big stage for those youngleys. You know,
there's a few olders in the team, but a lot
of those balls are up, you know when that third
goal in and I see our goalkeeper's heart, right, But
the passion in those guys.

Speaker 2 (01:53:21):
You know, I hope fitness wasn't a thing.

Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
I think, well, fitness an environment.

Speaker 2 (01:53:29):
I can imagine if a drinllaline goes you get Yeah,
I can imagine that drenaline. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll take it.

Speaker 7 (01:53:35):
But one was trying to pull on too.

Speaker 16 (01:53:37):
It is okay, we're all about melancholy because a World
Cup always lost today and it.

Speaker 7 (01:53:42):
Wasn't mentioned on your guys channel of all tense. So
that's my bride.

Speaker 17 (01:53:46):
And I don't mean to beg your channel on your
own channel, but it would have been nice to see
it and acknowledging that even though we lost, we did
blow and well you know those boys and they still
got one more game.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
So you know, I can't work out way went to
Vancouver and then died a show on the rugby exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:54:03):
That's my point.

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
The goal the Golden rulers never travel because why would
you do that? He might have other commitment? Does he
got other jobs?

Speaker 16 (01:54:12):
I don't know what happens, but anyway, you know, I
just want to acknowledge the all ways today even though
they lost, boy, they're good.

Speaker 7 (01:54:19):
And I'm a rugby supporter, man, I'm I'm a Hurrican.

Speaker 2 (01:54:23):
So I don't I think we are now smart enough
we can support multiple sports.

Speaker 7 (01:54:29):
Oh I'll tell you something, Marcus. I am really hoping
that we get our soccer football sort of and I
think we're doing it. We're on a road We're going
to be like in rugby where you sort of seeing
Argentina come up, Beta even literally come up in rugby football.
I've got a feel in New Zealand's on that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:54:46):
I think we've got six. I think we've got sixty
professional footballers to choose from and eighty two we had
none in twenty ten? How many professional footballers did we have?

Speaker 7 (01:54:56):
Mate? What country prots? He had a team that in
the first year they were the Premiership, net year they
were in the Championship.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
What are you talking about now? Well okay, yeah, yeah,
yah yeah, haven't they great?

Speaker 7 (01:55:09):
But yeah yeah, okay, But it shows a growth of
the sport in the country. And as I said, I'm
a rugby supporter. League in union but I've also followed
football all my life and it's just so nice, Senior
Grot and I hope it keeps growing. And I'll tell you, man,
next World Cup will then back into the next World
Cup because of the new draw ut lest they change it,

(01:55:30):
we will get out one. Hey, we market it next
week against Belgium. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Man, New Zealand
beats Belgium or two.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
It's not only hopefully hopefully Belgium goes in there knowing
they've qualified anyway and can actually just go a bit easier.
And so I haven't looked enough for the details about that, Paul,
but yeah, I appreciate you coming through. Thank you for that.
Twenty five to twelve. How are you going? People? And
this land welcome to If you want a text or call,
it'd be almost one hundred years old, oh Marcus. In

(01:56:01):
March nineteen eighty seven, Paul Smith left went into Tuesday'd
Be to replace MERV Griffin on Auckland's morning radio, which
was reblended news Talk's he'd B, but only in Auckland.
It was still tuesdayed B here until nineteen seventy four,
when the whole network was changed to news talks. EDB
Morning Radio was a fishing network across the country in
nineteen ninety seven with Paul Holmes. We used to have

(01:56:21):
Lindsay went into on Tuesday B mornings before that for
twenty years. Yeah, it wasn't merv Griffin, it was merv.
Smith and I think there was I think in Chrost duties.
They continue to have a separate breakfast from the Paul
Holmes breakfast for a bit longer than that, but I'm
sure you'll prove me wrong. Do they have time sheets
from so? I don't know how they know why Stonehenge

(01:56:43):
took so long to build. I guess they've carbon dated it.
But yes, there you go, twenty four to twelve. The
big news tonight, Sir Kiir Starmer has resigned. The Mayor
of the Hope of the North is on a train
heading down. But it's going to be a while before
there's an election. It's not going to be until the
end of the Christmas recess. So who can name the

(01:57:04):
prime Ministers of Britain going backwards? Sir Kiet Starma, Rushie Sunac,
Liz Truss, don't tell me. I'll get all of these.
That tall woman that danced name will come to me,
Boris Yeltson before, Boris Johnson before her. There's a few
going back, isn't there.

Speaker 7 (01:57:26):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
That's the UK promise. So there has been a few
number of years. Here's gonna be another one, but get
in touch if you want to talk. Theresa May of
course was the one I was thinking of, Kistarma, Rishi, Sunac,
Liz Trust, Boris Johnson, there's May and before that would
have been tweet twelve. You want to come through on

(01:57:50):
this fine Monday, a cold Monday. David Cameron of course,
he wasn't there for long. Gordon Brown three years, Cameron six,
May three, Johnson three, Truss three weeks, Sunac two years
and kiss Darma two years almost to the day. So yes,

(01:58:11):
you don't last long these days.

Speaker 6 (01:58:13):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:58:14):
Because Tony Belie was there for a long time. He
was there for ten years, John Major seven, Margaret Thatcher eleven.
So there we go. That's the situation there. Now if
you want to talk about this or anything else, it'd
be good. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine
to text. Oh we haven't mentioned the cricket either. Fantastic
to get a victory there. I'm not quite sure if

(01:58:34):
we win the series. I don't know how many crickets.
I don't know how many tests New Zealand Test Series victories.
I don't know how many have won. I just look
up that quickly. In England they say they're quite rare.
But we're on our way. Four we've won four Test
series in England. But that's chet Ai. That could be wrong.

(01:58:57):
Then we find out some more your diets, Marcus, good
evening and welcome. Hello, high diets, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:59:04):
Oh hi Marcus. I'm looking on just ringing to say
how I'm loving watching the All Whites and they've got
amazing spirit. I just think they're doing really well.

Speaker 2 (01:59:15):
Yeah, it was a great match today, wasn't It was
a great first half.

Speaker 4 (01:59:18):
Oh look, it was a great first half. But even
the match with Iran, you know it's just you know,
they're really you can see that in it. They've got
the giving it their macs and you know it's really entertaining.
I just think we can be really proud of them.
We need to send all that message to them that

(01:59:40):
they're doing great and just don't give up, keep doing
your best.

Speaker 5 (01:59:44):
We love it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:45):
I agree, and it's kind of hard for us to
as a country to chays support because once upon a time,
you have the home show, homes would be over there week,
you would send telegrams. It was easy to support a
national team because there was like the one TV channel channel.
It all feels a bit fragmented now. I hope they
know they're supported.

Speaker 4 (02:00:04):
Yeah, well, I was just thinking that actually when I
was really pleased that other guy rang in, and that
sort of inspired me to ring in because that's how
I been feeling. And you know, it did remind me that,
you know, with the Olympics or the games we had,
we could send messages over and I think these guys,
you know, let's face that, when you look at some

(02:00:25):
of the European teams, their footwork, it's just like the dancing,
and you know, our guys are still sort of coming on,
but really great, great skills that the attitude is huge,
and I just think the coach, all of our team
there really to be proud of. And I think it's

(02:00:48):
really good to tell them that, you know, I agree.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
Nice to hear from you, Die, Patty. It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 18 (02:00:55):
Yeah, just a couple of things of course there's one
more test to come, as Brendan mccallums said on the TV. Yeah,
so he's going to get his other guys back, the
ones who were suspended. Yeah, so it should be a
little bit of a tiger affair. But he does admit

(02:01:15):
that the New Zealand cricket team is superb. You know,
it's a great one at the moment.

Speaker 6 (02:01:21):
So all good.

Speaker 18 (02:01:24):
Now, just a couple of things. Yeah, it was watching
that game today, so I loved our guides, but the
speed of those Egyptian boys, but absolutely that none of seven.
It was brilliant. I mean it's really hard for them,
you know, but you know, I will battle line, we

(02:01:46):
will battle one. I was just a bit amazed. I
watched an All Black game I'm not All Black, No,
the final of the NPC game, and I loved that game.
And I'm not usually into rugby, but boys, that was
a fabulous game. And did you listen to the cat
in speech? Isn't he just I thought to himself, God,

(02:02:11):
this guy, he just speaks so beautifully. He'd thanked those
who had been before, you know, in the team. He
just said, we had such a legacy with this team
for six years, and I thought he's honoring the people
that have He's so humble this.

Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
Point, and I didn't see that.

Speaker 13 (02:02:34):
Oh my god, it was.

Speaker 18 (02:02:36):
I thought, you know, it was refreshing to see a
young fellow. He never made the Orblacks either, and I
thought he was wonderful. I thought there is a future leader.

Speaker 2 (02:02:50):
Nice hear from it, Patty, Thank you, Carrie. It's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (02:02:53):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. I'd like to comment on
the All Whites too. I thought they had a wonderful
game today, but watching the TV three news tonight, I
was so disappointed. The first thing that the young sports
announcer said was the All Whites were thrashed in their game,

(02:03:18):
and I thought three one a thrashing. That that's just
it was just so off putting to hear after a
game like that an announcer say something like that. It
was it really was disappointing. Okay, I put their heart
and soul into it, and I don't know what he

(02:03:40):
called a thrashing, but I certainly don't call three I'd.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
Call four milla threshing. I wouldn't call three one a threshing.

Speaker 13 (02:03:47):
Yeah, that that's what I thought too. It was it
was just so disappointing. I mean, our voys are so
new really on the world stage, and to hold their
own for so long in that game and then to
have a comment like that, I thought that was just
so to shame.

Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
Will you watch the Belgium match.

Speaker 13 (02:04:10):
Definitely, I mean it's all experienced for them. The atmosphere
must be incredible, and to play, I mean the first
game they played, that crowd was an enormous compared with
what they would ever have.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
It's pleasing that we're playing in front of full stadiums,
obviously enough to draw crowd that people are turning up,
which I think I think that's heartening.

Speaker 13 (02:04:35):
Yes, oh, it certainly is. It must it must really
boost them to see a crowd like that.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
So I just felt I felt for the coach. He
seemed upset after that third goal went in.

Speaker 13 (02:04:47):
Yes he did, he did. He can only do so
much from the absolutely Yeah. Okay, then things talk.

Speaker 2 (02:04:56):
Thank you for more from Marcus Slash Nights. Listen live
to news Talks there'd be from eight pm weekdays, or
