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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Eight oh seven. You see in greetings and welcome, my
name's Marcus hit l midnight tonight. Wow, she'd all go
drone over the drone over our house last night, not
an under just at dusk, by the way, not like
in the middle of the night. That was weird. If

(00:36):
we don't see a drawing fath what's that? What am
I looking for? And then tonight at the peck and
Saved car park was gone off. There was some sort
of a there was some sort of incident quite exciting,
a guy sort of striding around and a young woman saying,

(00:59):
come on, you gotta think of your kids. You'll there's
so much action in a car park and a supermarket
always seems to be confident that it doesn't they are,
But what would that be? Well, people think like I'm
feeling like a bit of a nigga before I go shopping.

(01:23):
Maybe's we people see people that would have fights with
you know, what's that about? Can't really answer if I'm
asking that rhetorically, I don't really know the answer to that.
You're always troubling a car packer SOUPERMG in there anyway.
I hope you are good, and if you're not good,
I hope you are gooder and better by the end

(01:44):
of the show, or I hope things get better for you.
If you understand my drift, get in touch by calling
or texting or emailing it. I'll be with you till twelve.
By the way, State of Origin will start tonight. I
will give you updates on that. I think the Blue
Team have only won one of the last five series.

(02:12):
They are coached by Madge, who coached the Kiwis for successfully,
so there you go. I think it's a full time
job coaching Origin. I think they just get people that
aren't in RL coaches because that prevents them. But I
don't fully know the situation. Some of you might anyway,

(02:33):
get in touch if you want to be a part
of the show. Here till midnight tonight, eight hundred and
eighty eighty nine two nine oh Lotto ten minutes I
reckon the drawer will be question for you. What is
your lotto superstition. I'm only asking you this because Vanessa
brought Loto and she never buys a lot of it.

(02:54):
She brought a lot of the day she brought it
online at two twelve because that is the bluff phone
number two one two. I think it might even be
our area coach. She thought that was lucky, although she
said if she wins, she'll give it all away and
knowing who she will, which would be frustrating to have
all that money and then have lost it or have
it gived away. But that's the way the world, I suppose,

(03:15):
So yeah, so that'll be a tough night for me
to actually have made forty seven million dollars and then
have to have it all given away. But that could
be what I'm facing tonight. But anyway, I'm talking about
your lotto superstitions, not your numbers, because all your people
that are in birth dates are selling yourself short because

(03:39):
the numbers go up to wellw would the numbers go
up to are? They go up to forty? Anyway, So
if you're choosing family birthdays, you're excluding nine or ten
numbers from zero to forty. If I started to buy
a lot, I would always go random. I don't think

(04:00):
I will because there always the discussions we have about
how much will we give away. It's no point we'll
give away half. It will give away half we'll give
away all of it well while we buy it. So
there ego. So you're a lot of superstitions the things
you do. You might go to the same shop, you

(04:23):
might wear the same sock, you might go online. I
don't know. I kind of sometimes feel a little bit,
but when it gets to a big amount, it always
becomes sort of viral, doesn't it. I do sometimes feel that,
you know, you talk about it and there are people
struggling desperate to earn money, but you know it is
a big deal tonight, so no doubt it will be

(04:45):
tomorrow's headlines. I sense it's going to go. I think
it's got a couple more go arounds before it's got
to be given away. And they say the numbers of
people are one of the numbers of one have been
sold have been down a bit. I guess that's because
no one's got any tin. But you get in touch.
If you want to add to that eight hundred and
eighty tenny nine nine, you have forty three million dollars.

(05:14):
Sales close at seven thirty. The winning um will be
drawing them at eight thirty. I'll read them out as
they come out of the barrel. They're expecting to sell
one point four to three million tickets for the draw yep,
the largest in October twenty twenty one, the second largest

(05:36):
individual winning if one person wins it. So if no
one wins, it will roll over to Saturday's draw, likely
pushing the jackpot up to fifty million dollars and must
be one jackpot, so if it doesn't go tonight, it
goes on Saturday. There you go. I should have rung
up this, read all this before I went to work.
Find that quite interesting. Tickets are. Ticket sales are lower

(06:00):
than in previous years. There you go, a slim majority
of which were brought in store rather than through my
lotto online one if many people are using it, buying
and using crypto anyway. So there's two people that have

(06:20):
shared fifty there's ten people that have shared fifty million.
There's two people that shared fifty million. There's one person
that won forty four million, and there's one person that
won forty two million. So there you go. That's what's happening.
And the thing is you don't need to check your
ticket because they get privatized to trail you down if
you haven't claimed. But after a while I know that
they go to the supermarket. They look at video cameras
and stuff like that because it's important for them to

(06:42):
get the winners. So there you go. But I will
tell you the details. Now, some questions for you or
some texts are coming through. Marcus, will you give the
lot of results? Thank is? I will markets. I think
a lot of supermarket fights and car parks are due
to parking. Well, my parking's terrible. I've never been in

(07:05):
a fight. Go went on an angle and then don't
often come back and go back forward to straighten up.
And then you come back to the car and there's
some elderly person trying to squeeze into their car because
you've pat and you've got to actually do another lap
with your trolley. Pretend it's not your car. You had
done that. No, nor have I or maybe, but yes,

(07:25):
I'm always quite excited when I go to the supermarket,
normally hungry. I'm not only parking in a hurry or
normally in a hurry to get to work. But yeah,
there are fights and supermarkets because of bad car parking
and people driving too quickly. But we are talking about
your lotto superstition. That's how we're starting tonight. The other thing.

(07:48):
I have a bit of a question about. There's been
a lot of articles today about New Zealand's most stolen car.
I ignored all those article because I thought it would
just be a Subaru legacy because it's always number one. Well,
knock me down with a feather. I clicked on the
article and it's not a Subari legacy. It's some sort

(08:09):
of tin pot car called the Toyota Equa. Looks like
the worst car in the world. Why would someone steal
one of those gos costing a three k to ensure
a year, sixty bucks a week, nine dollars a day

(08:30):
just ensure your car. It looks like a it looks
like a shrunken Preus. I ne't even know what it is.
It just looks like the world's most innocuous car. So
I when to talk about the Towyota up Quake. It's
even a dumb name, because why would a car be

(08:52):
named after water. That's what you call a boat, not
a car. Oh eight hundred eight tendy and nine two
nine to detext to what ron about tonight? I'm here
till twelve. You're Lotto superstitions. Who's had their car style
I've never had a car stolen. I don't think no,

(09:14):
I don't think I've ever had a car stolen. I've
had a window smashed in a car and a jacket stolen,
but never a car stolen. I don't know what happened
to people still steal cars. I thought probably with GPS
and locators and stuff like that, there would be less

(09:36):
people standing them. I wouldn't mind talking about having a
star colony, or you go to Toyota Aqua. I'd be
curious to hear about that, Marcus. A few times I've
used a random number generator on Google to pick lot
of numbers. You can set the generator choose being zero
in forty one, not a millionaire yet? Why did you
just get a lucky dip? They'd use the same kit, Marcus.

(10:00):
If someone wants me to buy them a ticket where
I'm getting mine down the shop, I won't get them one.
I'm worried I might buy them the winner and I
wouldn't get it myself. I'm with you, Pet. Do you
want to get rid of those of the other messages
down there on the screen, Marcus? You do at a
cast on because they can't get out of the park agreed,

(10:21):
thank you. But yeah, that's the other thing. And what
if you give someone lotto? What if you give someone
a lotto ticket and they win? Well, what a buying
that is for the person that's won on that money,
because no matter what they do, that friendship's over. Because

(10:42):
if I brought Dan a lotto ticket anyone fifty million
and he gave me for his birthday and we're not
giving Dan and I don't give each other presents because
they'd be weird. But anyway, let's just someone else. What
if I gave I don't think I would buy a

(11:05):
lotto ticket for what? Well, who would be a good
person's example? Who go buy a lot of ticket for?
I can't think of someone that's say it isn't it?
But what if I gave them a ticket and it
won fifty million? Well, how much would I think that
they would give me as a thank you? Would it

(11:27):
be a million dollar? Would it one hundred thousand dollars?
Would it be nothing? Ought to be a flat? Would
it be a eatiy? A mystery weekend? And then what happens?
Because some people have discussed this I've talked about before.
Some people think if you buy someone a lot of
ticket and that lot of ticket wins, then they should

(11:48):
give you half the money. And that's already a standard.
So if I was sold a lot of ticket which
I wouldn't, and it did one which it wouldn't, and
they didn't give me half a million dollar half the money,
I'd be thinking, well, actually, that's the industry standard now, Marcus.
I never buy a lotto for people who are not

(12:08):
immediate family. Mainly buy my mum lotto. Oh here's this
is interesting. The Toyota Aqua is a hybrid car very
popular with Ram raiders. The model of Equa that gets
stolen is the one that you can start with the key,
because they can pull the ignition and away they go.

(12:29):
The later version has a procimit proximity key and a
push button start. These ones don't get stolen. I got
one for my daughter, an extremely extra, extremely easy car
to driving. There we go. That's more interesting. It was
in the article and I didn't read it thoroughly, so
that's what happens. They're easy to steal and the good
for it. But what makes a car good for a

(12:50):
RAM raid is it got to be a minute size
to get through small windows? Has it got to look
good on TikTok. Anyway, my son gave his dad a
lotto ticket for Christmas. He won fifty grand, used to
power for the mortgage. They were both happy. These are

(13:12):
all good stories. Looking forward to your calls to start
the whole Shenanigans tonight. I'll keep you updated with news
throughout the next three hours fifty forty thirty three hours
forty thirty forty oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
nine two nine two to text anything else. There is

(13:33):
an article on the press on the most expensive pie
in the country. How much you're the most expensive pie?
The cut? Would it be twelve dollars? It's fifty dollars.
It's at Hannah one, stuffed with crayfish. Would I be
buying a crayfish pie and a hamner?

Speaker 3 (13:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Too far from the sea, lotto and your lotto superstitions.
So I'm really kind of into and cars and things
that you've had stolen? Really done a law and audish show,
have we?

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
We did ever car stolen? That's right, someone stolen. This
is boothing video which none of us have watched. I
don't think the Robert had watched it either. We got
it back not that they having got it here. It's
a long story. Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Good evening. How's again this evening? Good?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Thank you, Dave.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
It's not kind of cart it's.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Kind of a motorbike, which is probably similar. A few
years ago my ex girlfriend had a motorbike stolen from
out of our garage, so she went to report it
to the local police. Things fessing in the morning when
she went to work after ringing me up saying did
you notice it was there or a long ago? Not really,
so I'm not really paying good attention, you know, man looking,
she reported to the police on new way to work
and then she gets a call about three hours later

(14:56):
on This was in Hamilton three hours later on the
same with sound your bike. It's like what and what
they've done is they come and stolen it, put on
a use and driven it down to the terri and
parked up on the double yellow lines of the terror
getting something from a bakery, and a cop pulled them
behind them to tell them you need to move a vehicle.
And they had a junior with them in the passenger
seat to his board so reading the license plate number

(15:18):
for the motorbike and it came up and stolen. Wow,
and it's like, how's what's the odds on that?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's unlucky.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Apparently apparently they said they brought it from us on
Facebook and they picked it up at three o'clock in
the morning. It's like, well, why would we sell them
in a Facebook and most people at three o'clock in
the morning and as humor asleep.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
So it's interesting they weren't law abiding by stealing your motorbike.
They also went law abiding by parking on the double
yellow lines. I imagine there's probably something about policing there,
isn't there.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, well, so they hadn't parked on the double yellow lines,
they wouldn't have been talking to her and probably never
seen the bike.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Again, where were they hit it?

Speaker 5 (15:57):
I have from what I understand, they're heading down to Tocura.
Apparently it's placed down there that stripped bikes. So the
gangs are wheir and sell them at parts. What's it
was one of these highest thing you know, like the
Japanese versions that were like a like a Honda. Yeah,
but yeah, my bike would just packed probably ten meters

(16:17):
away in front of the house. Was fine, but they
stole hear one, so did a bit of a mess
of the ignitionion barrel and everything.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
But yeah, how they get it on the okay, just
wheeled up on the trailer.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
I think, well, find looks to it at the time
they broke the ignition thing, and then they would have
had to wheel it down the driveway because our driveway
is probably about fifty meters for the road. That's a
long drive. But yeah, determined little guys. But the thing
I can't figure out is because where it's parted, you
can't see it from the road, so it must have
been someone snooping around during the daytime. I guess when

(16:49):
we're at work.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
They might have had a drone.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Dave, Oh, they are one of those porch pirates and
they go, oh, this is a bit bigger than what
we can fit in their car, but we'll grab it anyway.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Nicely for me, Dave. Thank you. Jared, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Hey man. How are we doing good?

Speaker 7 (17:05):
Jared?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Good?

Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah, no, I just had a bit of a break
in with one of my cars down and crash each way.
But they got a little bit annoyed because they didn't
do a very good job over today. I managed to
get into it and managed to rip out the ignition
and what not, got spooked, but sends out a complem
and started with a screwdriver. So you know, given given
two more minutes, they would have had it. But it's honestly,

(17:31):
it's that's really sad that, you know, I could have
probably got assurance for it, and they got it. Not
even doing a good job of stealing cars these days.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
So did you spring them midway or what happened?

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (17:42):
Some some lady was.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
Coming out to go to a gym at like four
o'clock in the morning and stoop them.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
So yeah, you you wonder how long it would take
to well that's called hot wirry, is it be? Is
to put a screw driver in the ignition?

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Do you?

Speaker 7 (17:59):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (18:00):
They ripped apart all the ignition and ripped pud or
the keylock and all that sort of stuff, and they
got spooke ran away, and what they left it was
I could start it with a screw driver, So okay,
understand they literally had it and then I couldn't follow through.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
How much did it cost? How much it cost you
to fix all of that?

Speaker 8 (18:21):
It cost me about four hundred all up, and you.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Couldn't get insurance for that.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Yeah, there's a pan of the after. It's one of
those things that you know, do you pay insurance or
do you do you sort of let it ride or
you know, it's just that's just a shitty job to
be honest.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Sorry, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean
there's nothing. You always think insurance is good value, but
actually when you look at it, it's a with excess,
and I mean it's pretty well worked out in favor
of the insurance companies, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (18:50):
Oh absolutely one hundred percent. They've got you over a
barrow sometimes, so.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
They's sole in your car. You would have been better
off a.

Speaker 8 (18:57):
Exactly, and it's it's just caught between the rock and
a hard place. But in in, you know, it's just
a drain of society.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Really.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
There we go there, Dared, thank you for that. So
stealing cars it's what we are talking about tonight, eight
hundred and eighty Teddy and nine. I can't remember the
full details it we we had our car stolen, but
I think maybe we'd left the call. I shouldn't say that.
Could probably have a reverse insurance claim. Something happened to it.

(19:27):
But it's just around the back of the block without
the birthing video or the handbag. It was like a
jpeg the birthing video. Do we know anything about lot
Oh no, not till quarter past nine. Do we know
if it's gone or not? Very excited about this, but
we are talking about getting your car stolen, which I'm excited. Yes,

(19:50):
I think with ours. I think the keys were in
the car and they did ask us in the end,
and we're up front about that. But I think the
insurance was still honored long time ago. But beyond the
statue of limit or whatever, they're coming take the money
back anyway. Marcus aqua pronounced ah as an A and

(20:14):
at oka. I don't understand how it's pronounced Marcus. Good eating.
People steal the tow to Aqua because the batteries cost
too much replaced. The people go down the road and
grab some free ones. Could someone tell me how aq

(20:35):
was pronounced Marcus. Back in the seventies, my sister and
my father took turns buying a golden Kiwi ticket top
rise turn of Granddad's turned by, but he was croc,
so my sister bought the ticket. She bought a second ticket,
also in one two hundred thousand dollars she bought a
farm with the winnings and never part of with the
dollar twell family. I said, not to worry about the dad,
he replied, I could have paid your mortgage off. Things

(20:58):
were awkward for a while, but what the hell. I
love my sister, so I said to side and get
over it. That's a good story. I'm sure plenty of
families have been real and by lotto winds plenty. I

(21:18):
can't believe pronounce aqua, which is weird to Naquay Marcus.
I wonder if people who hot white cars know to
turn them off. I'm asking because I've heard of cars
being dumped still running. Yeah, I wouldn't know about that.
I would imagine, and I'd just like to say I

(21:42):
would imagine. I would imagine that although stealing a car
is more difficult now because of technology and anti theft devices,
I would think that there would be a plethora of
videos you could watch online, like on YouTube that would
show how to do it? Would I be right? I've
never googled those myself, but seems as information for everything

(22:05):
these days. On how to I'm sure they'd be videos
and Adahot Warrior car Good evening ron AT's Marcus. Welcome,
gooday Marcus.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, on here. My story is about us finding a
stolen car. This goes way back to your lost trying
to work out when I was would have to he
got sixty odd plus years ago, sixty five years ago.
But back in those days, back in those days, cars
were being stolen every ten minutes, lightly out to day.

(22:36):
So they were broadcasts on the radio, and we were
coming back two pounders north from somewhere away up north.
It's probably during the Dad took us May as annually,
which was during the May school holidays. We'd obviously been
through the Desert Road because the radio didn't work. Then
the radio didn't work on the Desert raid, so south

(22:59):
of the Desert Road somewhere and well, we were allowed
to talk about the music song, but we weren't allowed
to walk while the new is on. So there was
very fighting in the back seat while the news was on. Anyway,
it came on. There was a blue Morris eleven hundred
and I forget what this registration was there. We're driving

(23:21):
further down the road. My brother who was in the
right end seat, so they said, that's that dead. What
what do you means? That's it? Radio Morrison even hundred registration,
dadad stolen? Are you sure? I am sure? Daed?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Oh well, Ron, this is an extraordinary story.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah. Anyway, there's some muttering going on in the front
seat with mum and Dad not arguing but just discussions.
Day had finally related and it was tie Happy or somewhere.
We pulled him to ty Happy found the cop shop.
Edwards of the cop shop and said, by element he
is seen to stole car. Came on the radio, so

(24:11):
we reported it and we carried on driving, curing it
back home. And oh Dad went into the police station
several days that in times of Norse it's just to
inquire whether that blue Morris eleven hundred we'd reported being found,

(24:31):
And they said, oh yeah, you made a few inquiries
and oh yes. The story was a dodger used car
dinner at Arm's North who had to actually lived down
the road from us, had burgled this little old lady's
house all the registration papers and the keys. He was

(24:54):
driving the car up north to Warkland to sell. And
it was later a letter arrived in the male congratulating
dead on his vigilant while driving and observing a stolen
car which he was probably showing everybody. And Jeff my brother,
even got to take that letter to school a brag

(25:14):
that he had found a stolen car by listening to
the radio.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Such a great Now, tell me about the feature when
they said the stolen cars? Was that like pit patrol
like the missing pets? Would they would that be a
regular feature on every radio show they would read out
the stolen cars or were they stolen? So really it
was become newsworthy and they broke programs to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Somewhere somewhere and between there's not really half of the
news and sort of oh yeah, there's a stolen characters.
It would happen not once a week, but once a
month or something or other. Because he was talking or
say late fifties, early sixties. Here it was a completely
different life style and cars were been stolen every day

(25:56):
or every ten minutes like they are now.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, chief sounds like an interesting guy. Did he go
he must have had a good mind day. Does it
remember a number like that? And spot it? Well?

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Was we were We come from a sort of musing
and sayss type family, so it was. And the radio
was probably playing dance boring music, so it was interesting
watching all the cars go past and registrations and because

(26:27):
the prop wasn't long after when the blackened plates, when
the black plates came out, so uh, our car was
probably c H something or other. So a r F
up up the road and said, oh, what are you
doing out of town kind of things? Yeah, brests but

(26:49):
that and while a blue love and Jeff had just
memorized this registration number Lord edited in his mind being
would have been I don't know, say eight or nine
or something. But yeah, we liked a store and you.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Lost me there. But tell me something. Was your father
a teacher?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
I dad actually worked for another Madrian firm and partners
and north Oh okay, a truck salesman. This blake install
have just worked from one of the really sold use
cars on the USA.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wow, it's all there. That's I thought he was saying,
took the school holidays off. He must have been a
school teacher. But look nice to talk brother. It's a
really good story. Brilliant Michaels, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 7 (27:35):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
How are you thank you?

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Michael?

Speaker 10 (27:38):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Good?

Speaker 7 (27:41):
Yeah, just a little little story family friend the father
and this was actually in Parwanuli on the Coromandel, probably
thirty years ago. He was he's he was an accountant,
but very clever with his hands, building furniture and you know,
mechanics and stuff. And in the car park at the shop,

(28:02):
so the woman said, oh, she was driving a Murray minor.
She said, I lost my keys.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
I lost my keys.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I need to get home.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
I can't start my car, and quick as a flash,
he popped the bonnet because I think I think you
could pop the bonnet from the front of the car
like a mini yep. And he used a he used
a chewing gum like an arrowman chewing gum wrapper.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (28:29):
And I think I don't know, I'm only guessing, but
I think it was on the distributor cap and he
touched a couple of contacts on the distributor. Car started
straight away.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Legend and I think it was an accountant. Wow, that's
a good story.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah, I thought, as a kid, I was very impressed.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
You want to be you want to be impressed by that.
The mcguiver with a chewing gum as well, because anybody
but a foil that's great. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
But but the cars these days, you know, the mind
boggles as to why that the Japanese car manufacturers make
make those cars so easy for people to know how
to steal them. So, you know, I drive a Prius
and that's got a I forget what you call it. Yeah, yeah,

(29:26):
a mobilizer, that's.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
What it is.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Mobilizer.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
So you need a remote and you have to press
the button.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
There's no key, but.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It's a pain of the neck when your bettery goes
flat too, because you restate your car, then sometimes your
key won't work.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Well, yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
That would be a situation of PRIs.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
But yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
The thing is, and I think it's quite relevant that
if if everyone knew how to break off the ignition barrel,
and you know, with a tire, a tire lever tire
bar to change a tire, and I think that's what
some of them use, the the wheelbrace and just use

(30:09):
a screwdriver to turn the turn the point underneath the
wheel where the ignission barrels missing. If everyone knew how
to do that, if there was an emergency earthquake or
something or a tsunami coming and you had no keys,
well you'd be able to do it quickly and drive
to safety.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's probably no surprise that Japanese aren't great on safety
with cars because they're so trusted, you know. I'm sure
they're incredibly laura By. They put it out steal cars
there and they make cars for the local market. That's
just what I'm thinking, Michael. Someone might want to fact
check that on me. So Powerball was not struck zero winners.

(30:50):
So Jack Potter Rooney Saturday Night, she's all on fifty million.
That's when I buy a ticket. Always tend to be
in the wilderness. I've the last twenty years. I've brought
a lot of tickets. Twice, I think once I bought
it at the Milton Kink, the Bend in the Road,
the Milton Kink, and the other time I bought it

(31:11):
was at Lawrence. Anyway, that's exciting. So that's fifty million.
So it wasn't struck wrong numbers, eh, people have picked
the wrong numbers.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
By the way.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
People say there's a twenty minute Q on the website,
so I don't even know. I don't even know how
you can have a Q on a website. It makes
no sense to me. But that's the situation. So there
is no winner, Marcus. That has happened to be the
battery went flat. Now the key won't work. Does he
even know how to fix that? Oh, you gotta get

(31:46):
you You're gotta go back to the company and get
your key. You gotta get your key wiped or something.
It's complicated a trick. If you can't start a car,
if it has a push button start, hold the remote
right up to the start button, then it should start.
You will still need to replace the battery. Marcus. The
thieves are that good. Now it's sitting cars. They can
steal a brand new range range at less than thirty

(32:09):
six We other key with the technology on their phone.
That makes sense, So they can use something on their phone,
that's right. They can use something that on the Wi
Fi or something that will imitate what the key does.
Email it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Calmly, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Thank you bell good?

Speaker 10 (32:35):
My cast solemn two years ago and it was found
ten months later, two streets away from my house. And
when I tried to get insurance and that we were
moving house, they denied me of insurance because.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Wow, my ex head access to my FYD and when.

Speaker 10 (33:11):
Look, the three could go as much as far beyond
any belief that you would like to believe or belief
you'd like to believe. He started sending emails one sorry,
started sending emails in the insurance company saying, oh no,

(33:32):
this is what the contents in the car was. So
one of the emails was a gate.

Speaker 11 (33:41):
And the tools.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
You can't set such a gate inside a Santa Fe.
And they tracked the car, and the car all it
did was went from my old property around the corner
and back and then parked straight away. And now when
we reported it, the cops and the insurance company and

(34:04):
investigated a complete certain of and then around our area,
and they couldn't find it. But ten months later, all
of a sudden, it turns up a street away.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Did it have a gate in it? Did it have
a gate in it?

Speaker 4 (34:23):
You can't a gate.

Speaker 10 (34:26):
In a Santa Fe, you can't.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Did you say it had a did you say it
had a trekker on it?

Speaker 10 (34:35):
It had a camera like one of those video cameras
you know that tracks where you went. Okay, Well, and
I said to them, I said to the private investigator
even met me on the beach, and I said, look,
this is where we are, this is where we go,

(34:56):
this is what we do. So they went and they
walked the exact streets as is to obviously find out
where the car was. And ten months later it turns
up a street over from where we used to live.
I lost insurance. I lost thousands of dollars.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
On did you get did you get your car back?

Speaker 10 (35:20):
I got my car back, but like they never even
ever gave me the insurance because we were moving house
at the time, and so we had taken a picture
of the things that were inside the car just so
we knew what we were transporting and those sorts of things.

(35:41):
And we left the car at the address, which was
across the road. And yeah, I this is through COVID.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I ended up hang on mail mail. I'm liking this
story a great deal. It's rec complicated. Why would you
mean a private investigator on a beach.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
Because we were walking along the beach. She rang me,
She said where are you? I said, I'm walking along
the beach. Come and give me the documentation that you
need me to sign.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
So she met me there.

Speaker 10 (36:16):
With her French bulldog and her daughter. It was as
the most bizarre situation. And when when they found the car,
I said to her, can you fit a gate in
this car?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
And she said well, no, then you're saying you had
photos of the interior.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
Yeah, and so we sent that to her.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Who's we because this is your ex partner?

Speaker 10 (36:43):
No, no, no, my partner, my fiance and I because
we were moving.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Did you say did you did you say it's an
ex partner that said it was a gate? Did you
say your ex partner tried to claim there was a gate?

Speaker 10 (36:57):
I need to retract that, okay, yd Which was the
email address that was contact in the private investigtion and
AA and so the information that.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Was going back and forth obviously was there.

Speaker 10 (37:15):
There was a bunch of emails that started to become
very strange between the investigator and I, and I said, look,
I'm not sending these email addresses. I even got a
forensic a forensic I person too.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
I've never had anyone retract something. So you're retracting there
was your ex partner? Is not your ex partner?

Speaker 10 (37:40):
Look, I proved the fact that my ex partner has
hacked into my email address.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
And who are you engaged? Who's fiance? Is it a
new person?

Speaker 4 (37:49):
It's a new person.

Speaker 10 (37:50):
So but we were taking photos of just random photos
of us moving, So we were like, we're moving out
of a house. That was all exciting. Wasn't something that
we were doing. But when it came to the fact
that my car was missing the morning that I was
in hospital.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
COVID did you was your husband Offenser? Yeah, expert, body
have a gate.

Speaker 10 (38:17):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
There was no gate.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
But are you going to a false insurance claim. No
one's going to claim a gate. You claim a laptop
or something. Would point like you, Mel, why would you
want insurance if you got your car back? Why did
you want insurance if you got your car back?

Speaker 9 (38:37):
No?

Speaker 10 (38:37):
At the time, I wanted insurance because my car had
been stolen. So there was a private investigator that went
through trying to find my car. Ten months later, after
all of us had gone down, my car randomly just
turned up a street.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Away who'd stolen had stolen it. You tell me what
beach did you meet? The private investigator of the French sport?
I got your daughter?

Speaker 10 (39:10):
Uh, Narnick?

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Well, I wonder if it was nar Nick. I can
always picture it. Wow, that's quite the North Shore story,
isn't it?

Speaker 10 (39:18):
Like it's it's crazy. You could see the emails, you
could even see the IP address. Wasn't even the same
IP address that I was communicating with her through.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
So I'm going to go.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Ma, that's a good I got to go. That's a
good story. I have no idea what it was ready
about something I got to decode that don't go away now.
I mean to keep listening. We might have more questions, Dean.
It's Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I've got a couple of teezies for you to care.
It used to be quite popular for being stolen. I
had Mint Tobishi Evo, which is a road game version
of Rally Car.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
Yes, you might know them from years ago.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
I just bought the thing head and insured at the
space had an alarm in it, and it didn't. Anyway.
I actually came out one morning in the quarter light
whenn't it was smash ignition being played with, and fortunately
my neighbor had stuck his head out the window and
said he thought it was me in the car. And
these guys brag it off. And anyway, the next night

(40:21):
I was up at my girlfriend place and my mum
saw these lights shining down the driveway and the guy
came to the driver, he's looking nexus. No, it's not here,
it's not here, and obviously followed me at some stage,
so then I lived there. So anyway, when I had
to get this bloody window fixed and get the alarm

(40:41):
installed through a mate who worked in the shop, so
they had the state of the alarm, state of the
alarm on it, like if you went near would chirp
and carry on, you know, if you went past it
so many times closely it would go off. Anyway, so
that was okay. So one day I was at Saint
Luke's shopping mall and I'd parked in there and I'd
been in the shops and I'd come out and I

(41:03):
got to the floor where my car shed been and
there was an empty space. I was like, oh my god,
how did they get past me? I was thinking, oh, no,
surely I'm on the right floor. So I hit the
button on the remote and I could hear this chuke upstairs,
so the car was actually upstairs. I could not believe it. So, no,

(41:28):
my car didn't actually get stolen, but my brother in
law's car got stolen. Then me and my sister lived
with me mum. My sister's boyfriend used to come over
and stay. He has car parked on top of the
radio and I had an old civic with some Mewgan
sport wheels and stuff on. It been stolen about two
or three times. Anyway, you got this phone call in
the middle of the middle of the night, and he

(41:49):
thought it was his mates having him on. He's like, oh, no,
you're kidding men. Oh well, if it's been stolen, then
he could hear the radios in the background. Oh, it
really is the police. So they said it founded down
behind her and a warehouse and penros cement and went
down there and the whole thing being burned, burned to
the ground. So it's lucky he had agreed insurance. He reckon.

(42:12):
It was only worth a cup of grand but he
had a greed insurance for about eight thousand, so he
got eight thousand for it.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
What they what were they taken from it before they
burnt it?

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Oh, proba, I think they took the wheels off. It
had had on the They do this sport version of
accessories as Mugen, so it had Mugen wheels on it.
So when we found it had no wheels on, it
completely burned out.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Yeah, what was the wheels worth?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Oh, you know, maybe two or three thousand maybe, you know,
back in those days, expensive wheels. But and the last
thing I had to tell you, I don't know if
you're familiar with Michael White Beach.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
And Hillsborough, Yes, yes, I am.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
A road that winds down to and a girlfriend were
up there down there one three o'clock in the morning,
one one more thing and just you know, you know,
it was a weekend thing, and we were down there,
you know, doing what you do, and a couple of
courteenas came down, probably a couple of half three courteenas,
turning around behind them with the U one and the

(43:19):
car park down the bottom there, and then they took
often about half an hour. Half an hour later, we
hear this bloody rumbling and it was just starting to rain,
so I thought it was thunder. And then next minute
this big crash, bang, and this cortina just goes comes
right next to us and then off the edge of
the where the wall was down onto the beach like

(43:43):
bloody hell, you know, went to see if there was
anybody in it, and there wasn't, so it was one
of those corteenas that come down, obviously being stolen, and
so we called the police and when they finally turned up,
it was just starting to get light, you know, break
a day. So we we cruised on up towards where
the kids park is up there, and you could see

(44:04):
the actual time marks on the grass they sent it down,
so of course it was dropping down embankments. And then
when it was hitting each you know zig zag road,
that's why I could hear is the bang the bank
like thunder what I thought was thunder, but it wasn't.
It was the car hit in the road as it
kept on coming down, and we worked out like where

(44:26):
the wheel marks were on the grass, they were kind
of like pointing it towards when we were the part
that's it came so close to us. It wasn't funny.
And then it just went off the edge and down
onto the beach, you know, because there's like there's I
suppose it's for when the tide comes in that it

(44:48):
doesn't go up on the road. There's probably a fifteen
i'd be about a ten foot drop down onto the beach.
So of course the tide was out at the time.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
So good your good storyteller down there and there tremendu
thank you, that's great. Enjoyed all of those. Trevor Marcus,
welcome there. You go good, Trevor, thank you.

Speaker 12 (45:13):
It's going to take a bit to beat these ones,
isn't it. Yeah, well yeah yeah, But you know, this
was one about my dad.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
He was I shot woul probably going back maybe forty
years and he is owing the commercial cleaning company and
Taranga and so he cleaned banks and post office and
all sorts of things, and he'd fly around on the
thing it was a Sunday morning and just go and
check that everything was up to scratch and that. And

(45:45):
so he'd usually just have the car out the front
and and racing and checked the doors and checked that
nobody's made a mess out of the front. And he
was down downtown that in Taronga, the old trust building.
They had radio bop up on it, and he flew
and he flew in there and it is read on

(46:06):
came out and he had a Pugo five oh four
station wagon, so it was a bit of a rare one.
Come out and because you leave it with the keys
in as you do in those days, come out and
the whole thing's gone. So he's he's panicking a fear.
But because back in those days he used to have
all the all the bank keys and everything and used

(46:27):
to keep them under the front seat and just put
a rag over it and you know, fly and check,
check the shops and stuff. So he was just, you know,
beside himself. He didn't know what to do, so he thought, shoot,
what am I going to do? So he tore off upstairs.
And I think it was Brian Kelly might have been.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
On WET we call in BK in the industry.

Speaker 12 (46:48):
Yep, he said, mate, mccar has just been flogged, and
you put something over the radio. So they stuck it
over the radio and I went out and they had
a bit of a look around and then the cops
this call from I think it was a guy up

(47:09):
in wang Mataia was just listening to the radio, was
looking out on his beach front place and he could
see the car down on the beach with these twice
and getting some pizza or whatever it was.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
And so he.

Speaker 12 (47:24):
Brings up the cops in that and he couldn't believe
it when the cops brought the car back and he says, oh,
you know, so Dad straight away went to check the
keys underneath the front seat still there, and because because
you know, they've got no idea what they were for anyway,
but the cops said to him, Hey, are these your
your keys? And he says yea, And he says, well,
what's this little little tin? And they put it to

(47:48):
the marijuana and with.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
And so it was.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
It was.

Speaker 12 (47:53):
It was quite amusing actually that he actually got the
whole thing back. But and just just on a total
left field here for you. There was another one with
these guys going around pinching diesel out of the motor
homes and that sort of thing.

Speaker 9 (48:07):
Yep.

Speaker 12 (48:08):
And and one night, you know, these especially for the
motor home guys, they are getting slacked off. And one
guy wake up in the morning and these guys had
been into his motor home and there's a plastic tube
out the back of the motor home and.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
There's a big.

Speaker 12 (48:24):
Pile of sick beside it, and that's actually stuck the
tube into the effluent tank and sucked it down right right.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Anyway, Okay, good story, Triven, Well I had everything that story,
didn't it. The Pogo, the French k, the broadcast to
be K, Brian Kelly, the Caimalana Cheapest. That's brilliant. Albert Marcus,

I bought a seventy two Ford fem onth off my
sister for fifteen hundred bucks. And there was an exact
day or a long weeking and I got to go.
I was living in Oho then, and I went up
to go kick my my I was getting an Oakland

(49:13):

empty space. And at that same time, my next door
neighbor was stealing my paper. And yeah, so I rang
the cops, told them what happened to My car had stolen,
and they said, oh, they stopped them in pursuit and

(49:33):
put to my hoe. It's got a bit of a
thing and left guard. That's cool. So I had to
go older out picked up my car. They told me
who had stolen being remember what have you? But I
think I got my car back got a big Years later,

(49:53):
I changed jobs and I was talking to somebody and
I mentioned this name and I told the store my
car got stolen, blah blah blah. Anyway, the cops had
picked up this guy by breaking into cars at Middlemore Hospital.
They took them and locked them up the police cells.
He broke out of the police cells he stole my car,

(50:17):
in which he got caught that night in pursuit. All
right years later, talking to this guy and I told
the story of what had happened, he says, you're not
going to believe him. I said, what, because I know
that person. I said, wow. He said, you believe them,
but he's deep. I said, what he is here in
the stolen car hit by a train. Wow?

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Yeah, wow wow.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
So Albert, where where is that? You said you went
to get this the Auckland Star. Did you drive to
get there in your car?

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:54):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 (50:54):
I was in a block of flats and we're parked
my car. And the funny thing was, I was working.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I understand. I said, you'd gone to the litter box
to get the paper, got to the dairy to get
the paper.

Speaker 9 (51:06):
H well, the paper in my little box, I was.
I was a subscriber, and when they get my paper,
my car wasn't there. And I'm seeing my neighbor taking
my paper out of one mailbox.

Speaker 12 (51:17):
So two things in one.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Day, I see. So the same thing the same guy take.
Did the same guy take your car and the paper
or two different guys?

Speaker 9 (51:29):
My neighbor took my paper. The guy that was locked
in the police took my car.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (51:38):
Got Yeah.

Speaker 9 (51:39):
It was at the Buzzy to to meet somebody meaning
his len and I told him about about what happed
to my car. I mentioned this name, and he said,
you're not going to believe it.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
But he hadn't. He hadn't he had and died in
that car. I just died in another stolen.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
What do your what amed your car?

Speaker 9 (52:03):
I got my tar back and ended up selling it
to to a friend.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
How much I've still got it? Yes, good story, but
thank you for that, Marcus. These stories lol. I have
one to report my car personal car style from Monaco
while standing two parks away from my work car, the
car i'd driven to them all so embarrassing. Good show, Ray,

(52:29):
There's nothing worse than There's nothing worse to not be
able to find your car and then assuming it has
stole and then working out actually it hasn't been stolen.
I think we've all done it, and I'm sure he'd
have stories about that as well, particularly with like the

(52:53):
car park at sky City or something like that, and
you walk round and round and round and round and
round trying to work out where it is soul destroying
there's a car how par can christ Church that I
had a moment done, just couldn't find it anyway. Hi

(53:16):
Elarence Marcus welcome.

Speaker 11 (53:18):
Oh Hi. Two stories. The first one I think I
can't remember. I think it was about twenty nineteen fa
past four in the morning and there's a knock on
the door. It's a police and they've said they checked
it was I was me and asked that about the

(53:38):
car detail and I said yes, and they said, okay,
well we've found your car bonnet to bonnet to another car.
And it said it's only minutes away, and we one
car is from East Aukland and yours is the other.
And so off they went and a little I got out,

(54:03):
made a cup of tea four thirty in the morning,
and then the cops came back. And they came and
they said to me, we found your car was coming
down the road at us, but nobody was driving it,
and the next thing it crashes into us. So they

(54:25):
get out go looking and they couldn't believe it. And
they showed by sort of showing her hand how tall
this kid was. It turned out to be twelve years old,
and so I got they got it, they took it
away and barbared and I went and got another car

(54:49):
because there was quite a bit of damage to it
and the police car, and so I went and I
bought another car. So fast forward a couple of years ago,
a year ago, the replacement car i'd got it got stolen.

(55:11):
It was there on the Thursday night, nine am Friday
what not. They rang the cops and they put out
they got quickly worked on it. When they finished working
on the information that they needed for that, because it
was the Friday, the car got found quite quickly. It

(55:36):
had been reported by a member of the public. And
so then I had to go and pick that car
up out of the where they take them to. This
is west Auckland, of course, and where the car was
being stored over the weekend. They'd done forensics and they

(55:59):
got fingerprints and they had rung me to say, we
are so excited. We've been after this person for a
very long So I go down to pick up the
car and I had known the number plates went on it.
They had been put Apparently, I don't know it wasn't
the police that did it. I think the person did

(56:19):
it on the sitting on the seat, and when when
I got there, it cost me four hundred and fifty
dollars to get it out. It had only been about
four kilometers, had been driven four kilometers from where it
had got found to where it got had to get
picked up from. It was only about four kilometers, but
it cost me four hundred and fifty dollars. So I

(56:43):
get that had a delightful time driving me along Lincoln Road,
knowing no number of plates on the car and expecting
to be picked up. Luckily, the cops know me because
I had worked in the criminal justice system, and.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
So I got it home.

Speaker 11 (57:05):
But then that guy, it took nine they had to
locate him, and they did finally find him. He was
somewhere up north. He was very good at doing what
he did with steading cars.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
And other things.

Speaker 11 (57:19):
And so when it went to court nine months before,
he put in a guilty plea, and I kept going
back to the court. This was the last one I
had worked in, and finally he got sentenced. He put
in a finally put in a guilty plea. Finally, ten
days short of one year, he got sentenced, and and

(57:45):
just got a slap on the hand shapers. So you
still with a car, really luckily and weirdly because I
had got that one back and that was drivable, it
hadn't been damaged. But luckily. At the same time, an

(58:07):
elderly man that lived across the road from me and
i'd grown up as a child, he passed away and
I got offered his car. I had to pay for it,
but it was, you know, it was a really newer car.
It was a keya and it got all the bells

(58:28):
and whistles, you know, and all the security, etc. So
I haven't had any problem so far.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Touch would nice to hear from Ella thank you so
much instead of Origin tonight also too. And no one's
won lot of well, no one's you know, no one's
won the forty three million. A couple of people sharing
a million, get your lock and leave somewhere. That's about it,
like a car park. But yeah, anyway, it's not transformative
like a part of a million like it once was.

(58:58):
You talkback callers annoy me. The most ones that say
I will go to fifty million, like on Saturday, people
bring up on front. They say, oh it's too much,
they should share it. Why can't they give fifty people
one million. Well, the whole point of lotto is it's
it all works on the fantasy of greed. People need

(59:23):
to imagine what they do with fifty million. They can't
imagine what they do with a million dollars, because that's
not fantasy territory these days, is it? Anyway? Pretty amazing
footage that burning Carron Alton Motorway today, by the way,
in Texas, Welcome to the future. There was a hail

(59:46):
storm and the hail was a size of a cantaloop,
which I think is a melon. Sixteen and a half
centimeters tall was the hail. And they've got a photographed
next to a can of Monster Energy drink, which is

(01:00:09):
pretty much exactly what you mentioned. Storm chasers to be drinking. Unbelievable,
could qualify as a state record. But there one kilogram.

(01:00:29):
It's gonna be pretty damaging when I'm going to kill you.
I've seen some big hail in my time, but not
one kilogram big hail. By the way, the country's most
expensive pie is a crayfish pie at Hammah Pj's Pies. Yep,

(01:00:56):
I already know Pj's pies. It looks like to be
a new shop in Hammah. Not the bakery for that
old deco building that was there for a while. This
appears to be a new shop. That's a good pile.
Were heating up to him. It's soon like to go
there once a year. Mickett's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:01:17):
Yeah, hi bro, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Thank you? Mick? Yeah no.

Speaker 7 (01:01:22):
The crayfish pie, brother, Uh yeah, I haven't tried one,
but uh I do know. Do you know brother that
down in Besley Him and Towering Patrick's pies.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
That's that's he's one of the greats.

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
He got about one hundred, one hundred awards from Bachel's
for gold pie, silver fires.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
You've got rolling.

Speaker 7 (01:01:48):
Pin awards and uh yeah no, and you get a
seafood pie brother, six dollars eighty but delicious, man, what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Would mainly be in that?

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
Who's brother?

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
That's the answer, that Mac, that's the answer I was
looking for. Who cares a seafood pie? From Pat Lamb
and Bethley Him? That's the trifector, Bethley him, seafood Pat Lamb,
that's first division for you. There as a pie for
six dollars eighty, that's golden. You wouldn't have sauced with
you wouldn't have sauced without either with a seafood pie,
would you?

Speaker 9 (01:02:26):
Nah?

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
You the gravy brother really And in Auckland and there's
the Greenland Bakery and Packeringer and the Vietnamese chap there.
He's got twelve awards from Bakel's up on the wall
and got one. He's got one rolling pin uh supreme awards, brother,

(01:02:48):
Yeah for his bikes and yeah, and they're cheaper six dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
I think most of the great pie makers are Vietnamese.

Speaker 7 (01:02:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Well, they used to call the Paris of the South
because of the course the part of France colonized them
with their great bakery skilled. So I think be pretty
gutsy thing to have moved to a your country and
just start making pies, I reckon.

Speaker 7 (01:03:11):
Yeah, well they got the seafood kai all around their coast.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Brother, yep, where are you?

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Where are your food?

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
Where are you met?

Speaker 7 (01:03:22):
I'm a peckering on myself, brother.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Okay, okay, but you get are you like a pie guy?

Speaker 11 (01:03:29):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:03:30):
Yeah? They can cheese men.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
But do you know about pet You know about the
one that packet? You know you go to the ball,
do you? Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Being around, brother, But no, they're just back on the you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Have I met you make you sound familiar.

Speaker 7 (01:03:47):
You never know, brother, quite possibly down And I'd just
like to say, you know the crayfish I want to
see I want to see them. I don't like people
who boil them alive. They needs to stop the cray
fish of gods of the sea and to be bad
tim up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yeah, you speak a lot of sense. Okay, God bless God,
bless Louise. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:04:17):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
I could tell you before I ask that my stories
about cars being stolen.

Speaker 9 (01:04:27):
That hale a big piece of hail.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
It was Texas, wasn't it. Yes, yeah, well everything's bigger
in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
That's right, But that's big hale. I mentioned been out
of the holstone like that would actually kill you one
one heading. You would kill cows, wouldn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Oh? Terrible?

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Never seen how fast?

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
How fast would they be moving a hailstone?

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
I don't know that here. It wouldn't be good.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
I wouldn't think anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Kill my car.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Yeah, my car story, my first one is very nice,
but the second one is funny. Seventy eight and my
husband ex husband and I had a nineteen forties A forty,
the big old thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
And it was like.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
Like driving a tank. It was really really heavy. Anyway,
something went wrong with it, so we took it to
the auto electrician and rang the aura and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
A couple of days went by and heard from him,
and next thing, bang bang on the door the police. Oh,
I'm really sorry to tell you, ma'am, but the boy
who stole your car has passed away. I was like,

(01:05:52):
we didn't even know the car had been stolen, and
that auto outressian had left the car on the road
with the keys and the ignition that poor little kid
came along, you know, a te shirl had been.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Oh that's heartbreaking, saying the guy that lifted out in
the street. Almost it was almost done.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Yeah, okay, we were so upset about anyway, that heart.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
That's heartbreaking to think that that you were involved.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Like that. Yeah, I know, we didn't even know. And
the second stories from the eighties. I parked my little
waus Minor outside the power station, put the steering lock
on like you did back then come out a few
hours later, said to my friend, I parted there, didn't I?

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
He said, oh, look.

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
Across the road there it was facing the wrong way.
It would have been really funny to watch, you know,
just trying to steal the car with the steering lock
on it, but didn't get very fast.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
I wanted to explain to people, are steering lock is
Louis nice to talk to you. Thank you for that.
Bennett's Marcus, welcome, Dave, Marc, you mean good things being amen.

Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
I was just thinking we shouldn't call me Ben after
this because I'm probably going to tell you about someone
at the back in the day, which is a bit incriminating.
But we called it the two prop that the two
pronged discount. And you used to start a car with
getting a fork and you'd break the two outside prongs

(01:07:31):
and you had two prongs in the middle you straight
them out and couldn't we get it? And that was
known as the two prop just because there was the
five finger discount, and it was the two the two
pork discount or the two prong discounts.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
And would you just would you just put that in
the key barrel and twist.

Speaker 6 (01:07:47):
It just as the key mate, like you've got a
key to someone's car. Back in the second that this
was yeah, I came back in the nineties, and and
that was when the Subarus were getting hemmed. Like they were,
they were easy going and there was Yeah, it seems
to be a case like like when you get on
the old computers, you know, with hackers and things these days,

(01:08:08):
just the more the more they want to upgrade the
anti hacking software, the more the hackers come and learn
how to hack it, you know. So it's just a
game that can't mounts with the with security, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
So how would people start cars? How would people start
cars with screwdrivers?

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Look like you get the ignition out. You know, you're
dealing with pieces of cables of wires. You know, once
you break that, you know, you're talking a place to cover?
What's that for the place? I mean you're breaking for
the place. You're probably breaking them plus window marks. Yeah, okay,
then you weak away in and then you're dealing with

(01:08:53):
the right which one needs to and that one and
that one right make those do a spark?

Speaker 9 (01:08:58):
Cool?

Speaker 6 (01:08:59):
Hey, you know, and everything's fool proof. But things these
days are getting a bit more tricky. So there's no
longer the Samaris getting hammered. Back in the day, it
was known as the two prong discounts.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Nice to hear from you, Ben, thanks so much that
it's been a chaotic start to State of Origin. This
is the first of three. Queensland scored quite quickly sort
of with a inside pass from Cherry Evans, so they're
up six nil. Then has taken Rese Walsh in a
tackle which rece Weald should have ducked into but it

(01:09:39):
was a tough hit. Res Walsh appeared to be knocked off,
knocked out, he's under hia, he's off the field, but
more sensationally, Sulee is off for the match, just the
fifth man in Origin history to be bidden for the match.
So here eight minutes, so that makes it no contest.

(01:10:03):
So it's in Sydney and the New South Wales supporters
an stand look stunned. And there's a kick to come
as well. Valentine Holmes from thirty meters he'll get this,
so be eight and el New South Wales down to twelve.
It's a dead rubber unless there is a Lazarus type
comeback from the New South Wales team. But they look
shocked and as we're speaking, Valentine Holmes has kicked that

(01:10:25):
dead eye dick, so that is orange and that seems
to be all the hype and sort of over in
about the first ten minutes. They might come back, they might,
they might get jollied up for this one, but I
can't see it. Res Walsh has ruled out now category
one head injury, so he's gone. So that could be

(01:10:48):
the mate. They always thought that Res Walsh would be
the decider in this match, and now he's been taken out. Look,
it wasn't deliberate, he just went low in the tackle.
But that's a sensational start to the match. Anyway. I'll
keep you updated with that. Marcus hid on midnight tonight.
We are talking about concert. No not concert. But what
did she say to the power station? But here's a

(01:11:08):
text about a content Marcus nineteen ninety three, ac DC
Money Talks Content, Mounts Smart nineteen seventy two, Ford V
eight fear Lane loaded up with my high school kids.
Scared it skinned it would be so I took the
distributor rotor out so the car couldn't be driven. Didn't
have the car anymore, but still have the T shirt.
Trevor Pierce. My kids took me to ac dcent Content

(01:11:31):
Western Springs twenty ten. Weren't the fast of the furious
films about theft? Wasn't that how they afforded to modify
their cars. I'm not good with films, so I've seen
the first one. Paul Garlic Prawns from Pats Pies, delicious Gin.

(01:11:52):
We've got the most cars per capita in the world
and the oldest fleet less security features. Willie, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:12:03):
How are you, Marcus good?

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
Willy excellent?

Speaker 6 (01:12:06):
Hey Mircus, My son had a Sabaru WRX and I'm
Defender's squad come around and dragged them out of bed
three four o'clock in the morning, right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:12:26):
They got past he stays with his in laws, and
they got past two rockwheelers.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
Might they just come in?

Speaker 6 (01:12:33):
And apparently just you know, kicked down the gates and
housed opened the door, dragged them out of bed and
his car was used in a ram rod. They up
in Albany there. Wow, so they don't make around, Yeah,
but here.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
You go?

Speaker 8 (01:12:55):
No, no, no, he reckons over.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
There within fifteen to twenty minutes at his house after
the initial ram rod.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
How recently was this.

Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
God would have been about eighteen months ago now market.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
And when did they realize it wasn't. Yes, When when
did they realize they got.

Speaker 12 (01:13:15):
The wrong guy?

Speaker 6 (01:13:16):
Well, wouldn't they drag them out of bed?

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Well kind of, because what do you think he's in't?
Why do you think he's in bed? He probably didn't
do it, wouldn't you think? I can't quite out what's
go through the head?

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Yeah, well, thank god, you know, that's the first thing
I'll see. Well, obviously he didn't do it because they
dragged him out of bed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:13:37):
It's father. I'm going to thank God for that, you know,
But no, he's a good as well. So they were
very apologetic and very helpful. But yeah, the car was
right off, and then he had a bit of an
issue trying to get the insurance money out of the company.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
But in the end they got there and the door
was just smashed down?

Speaker 10 (01:13:59):
Was it?

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
Sorry, Marcus?

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
The front door of the house was just smashed down.

Speaker 6 (01:14:06):
No, no, no, no, they Jimmy said, open. They just
cracked it. Okay, yeah, profile yes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
Yeah, wow?

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
And what was the ram raid? What are they ram raated?

Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
I think they're the hip Boss Machine and I think
they got it, but who knows?

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
Hell, Okay, you ask him the game.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
You just tell me how the car I gets are they?
Are they easy to steal?

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
Oh, Marcus, I wouldn't have a client. I'm done with Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Oh my good without a gun, My good with a key.
I shouldn't say that. We're talking having your car stolen.
Seems like heaps of people steal e bikes these days.
I guess he's a market for them. Take him down
a staid Flo Tago selling the pinsioners. Oh, eight hundred

(01:15:04):
and eighty nine text, my name is Marcus, welcome. There
would be the thing you ever sort of a boy
race a car or a legacy, they steal it, commit
a crime with it, they come and get you. It's
not going to be good?

Speaker 10 (01:15:20):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Defenders gets you out of bed? I think a lot
of people are being excited about that story that the
police actually did something. I don't quite know where I
lie on that one, because of course it's going to
be a stolen car. It's your own car. Are you

(01:15:46):
could just be identified straight away and she got stolen
plate type resumed? You're going to smash your car, and
a smashing crab wouldn't be cost effective? Oh what I
want to tell you about tonight? Too, was something I
think you find quite interesting. There was some discussion in
the paper and it was picked up by national media

(01:16:06):
and also too that we had some discussion on this
show about the to atara that were found. It's a
long and protracted story, right, and it's all about them
demolishing the museum. And in Theicago where the tatara were,
they had a aquarium for them there, so that's what's happened,

(01:16:33):
and they decided to knock down the aquarium or the
to a Tara to atarium because that's what they do
because they're building a new museum. So they knocked that
down and some of the demo people found some to

(01:16:58):
atara that were there. It'd been a not abandoned, but
it kind of not used for a year, the whole
museum with the titarium in it, and they couldn't believe
that the to atara were there and survived a year
with no one being there. But what transpires today in

(01:17:20):
an interview in the media from a guy that used
to be involved with the Toatara, the whole thing's actually
quite a different story. What actually is the case is
that the to ataras themselves, they're no longer permitted to
breed any more of them because the bloodlines are too

(01:17:46):
are not diverse enough, there's been too much inbreeding. So
they've been told not to breed any more of them.
So the instructions were not to breed anymore. So I
just can't bring up the article. I just try to
pick up the article is I don't know quite why
it's not loading for me, but anyway, that's the situation.
But so what it actually happened as they tried to

(01:18:10):
get rid of all the eggs or bury all the
eggs that were already there so they wouldn't hatch, But
what in fact had happened was that there were some
leaks and the roof of the pyramid where the tatara were,
and because the water had got there, those eggs had
hatched and become viable. So actually the fact that the

(01:18:32):
tatara were born was something that they didn't want because
they're not supposed to have anymore born to actually, rather
than have been reported as a good news story as
a miracle, it was something that was supposed not to
have happened. It was only happened because the two ataras
happened to plant some of the well the tour Atara
females happened to lay some of the eggs away from

(01:18:53):
their normal spots but spark parts of the ground where
the rain got in through the roof and they hatched.
So yeah, I don't know if that makes any sense
to you, but it was kind of a bit of
a different story from what was reported. But anyway, that's
a situation in there. I'll see if I can actually
find the whole article for a different source, because it
was a pretty amazing one. But yeah, that's the situation.

(01:19:13):
And now they've actually built a different place for the
Tuatara out in Queen's Park, which is the big park
and in Vcago, so people can go and see they're
no longer going to be part of the museum. It
was a fascinating story, so they go. I can see
if I can find the better version of it. Yeah, hanging,
I found a better situation here. I just couldn't open

(01:19:36):
it on my email, so I don't know why that was.
But here's what I've got for you. I just bring
this up, and maybe the website's down, but I bring
this up so I can tell you a bit more
about it, because it was fascinating. Six fourteen Queensland over
New South Wales and state of origin. That's happening there.
Maybe the internet's down, maybe lotos crashed. It is that
what's happened. Everything seems to be buffering for me at

(01:19:56):
the moment. We've take this commercial break. I'll come back
with you on a here. I found it now, so
you're a fascinating story, it says. Last week the Invercago
City Council revealed demolish workers had discovered four baby to

(01:20:17):
atara in the former enclosure. The Tribune understands a fifth
baby to atara since been found, and then it goes
back to the old guy who was in charge of
the two atara, but it's now lost his job. In
my last weeks there, I had lots of checks in
the enclosure for living animals hiding under the logs, because
when the wee guys actually head for the cover and hide.
So I did lots of sweeps and I gave the

(01:20:38):
all clear there were no babies there. The females used
the same nesting site so prior that I dug up
areas where they would normally lay and I did find eggs.
It said Hazley, who's the guy had in recent years
been under construction for the Department of Conservation to not
breed anymore to Atara. So rather than euthanizing the eggs

(01:20:59):
when they were laid, Hazy would leave them in the
ground and get them and get the enclosure dry, so
the eggs would de hide, drip and die naturally. So
there you go. But the roof leaked and they hatched,
So go figure extraordinary story.
