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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be eight o seven greetings, welcome and good even
one of them as Marcus here to twelve. At least we
know what time the fighter is. Half past twelve. I
won't be staying up for that, so anyway, that's good
that we're not going to realize it's going to come
on before twelve. So it's not that's something anyhow. I
hope it's good. We you are. If it's not good,
I hope against better by midnight tonight. Feel free to
get in touch. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten

(00:34):
eighty couple things I want to talk about tonight. Of
there's things you want to talk about you need to talk about.
If you've got breaking news, let us know dial or
text it through. Will get onto it as soon as
we can. So there we go. Old Judith Collins got
Vertigo from a plane. To get it from a plane,
I don't know if that's well. She says she's got

(00:54):
it from a plane. She's got it from a plane. Anyway.
I don't think tonight it's going to be Verdigo night,
although Verdigo Go is quite big for us, but maybe
later on. There's a couple of things I want to
talk about tonight, probably two things. Firstly, where are we
with number plates? Where are we up to? Are we

(01:19):
through the pre I know we're on PS because I
had a number plate that begins with P. Are we
on to OPQ? Are we on to q's or r's?
So how far are we through the number plate? Triple
alphabet thing? Because I'm concerned about this? Are we up
to R? Can we find out the How would I
find out the latest number plate? Is there a website
I can go to? Because right most of us listening

(01:47):
will remember when we were two letters and four digits
from AA one through to z Z nine nine nine nine.
I don't think they got right through the ones to
the end, and then we switched, and I think we switched.
When would it be in the early nineties to three
letter and three digits? Some of you remember this. Some

(02:10):
of you might have had a triple A, and I
think that would have been about twenty five thirty years ago.
It's hard for me to remember all of it. I
know it's a secondary school. We're up to MM, so
we've since gone to triple letters and triple numbers. Right,
how far through are we? Because I don't think we've
got many years left. And have they decided what we're

(02:34):
going to go to next? Will it be four digits
and will it be four numbers? Will it be four
letters and two digits? I need to know about this.
It's not making me anxious, but I think, hang on,
what's the plan. I think there's quite a few combinations
the way we've got. If it's three numbers and three digits,
three letters and three numbers, there is twenty six times

(02:58):
twenty six times twenty six times nine nine, nine, seventeen
million combinations. But we're not nearly through. We're probably three
quarters of the way through. Peter and to Marcus, welcome, Hey.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
How are you Margus?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Good?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Peter.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I bought a car with a registration less as anyway
Rin in January.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Okay, so we're in the RS.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, so I've been the latest one I've seen.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
G whatever you see.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I don't know if you are. I don't know if
they do it evenly around the country or we get allocations,
because I just trying to think that us driving today
weather in the south and we get okay, so it's
our something, is it?

Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yep?

Speaker 6 (03:40):
Definitely, yep, okay, thank.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You'll be on to rip? So't we would you want
a car with rip? Would they put that aside? Don't
you want rip on the back of your car? Would
you be like a driving tombstone?

Speaker 8 (03:52):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Marcus welcome?

Speaker 8 (03:54):
I was just going to say, yeah, I'm my rih.
So we're up to the RS.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
So what's going to happen?

Speaker 8 (04:00):
I don't know my mm that was nineteen eighty six,
wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I was going to say eighty five. But you've
got when did we? How come you? Also? Are you
like rain man?

Speaker 8 (04:10):
I do know the plates? I mean, I mean it
was a big deal when the first end plates come
out because the back in the day, in the eighties,
because n was the very start of black and white plates.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh well, you do know, but could you tell me when?
Can you tell me when we went to the three letters,
three digits trends?

Speaker 8 (04:30):
I'm just trying to think, Okay, cheap is a swim
to that thing? I think it was.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
The early nineties, late nineties.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
I think it was the late nineties.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, so I've had this system.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
You can always you.

Speaker 8 (04:48):
Can always google a plate on well, the start of
what the plate would have been back and you can
go on car jam, couldn't you.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm at work.

Speaker 8 (04:59):
It's on a website. J L. What was the first
eight What was the first plate? Were they as?

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (05:07):
They were?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was triple A one, wasn't it was that? Because
if we're up to R, right, were three quarters A, B, C, D, E, F,
G H I, J K, L, M N O, P
Q R, which is eighteen out of twenty six with
three we've only got a couple of years left.

Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah, but once they go to when they did start
doing like four.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Letters, and I don't know that's why. That's what I'm asking,
because four letters would be because you could be if
you give you, if you c K and all sorts
of things, couldn't you.

Speaker 9 (05:44):
I'm not down in there.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
No, Well, there's a sweario with four are in threes
five you can just get you can't get me swear?
What's the three letter swear word?

Speaker 8 (05:58):
Yeah, but it's the sac of personalized plate away.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, I think one's really. I think if one's I
think everyone's realized personal plates are for losers, aren't they
haven't they?

Speaker 6 (06:08):
I've got of them.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I knew you got to say this soon as I
meaning hang on knows what about plates fidget spinner? Yeah,
we'll always us to advertise all the time with that,
but but yeah, I don't think anyone bothers with them,
now do they? Vanity plates? They called them dB. It's
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 9 (06:29):
Your calculations slightly wrong. The letters I, V and O
are inhibited, so we don't have them being produced. So
you can't have your rip.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Because it's confusing with the letter what with the number
of the digit one.

Speaker 9 (06:47):
Correct, you can have them on a vanity plate, but
they're not on production.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Plates, so you can't have I. You can't have O.

Speaker 10 (06:55):
And V.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
What's V?

Speaker 10 (06:57):
Like?

Speaker 9 (06:58):
Are you.

Speaker 11 (07:01):
Really?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's a kill joy?

Speaker 12 (07:02):
Really?

Speaker 9 (07:04):
So we meant from you in M we went from
M straight to P, so all of their own series
was inhibited the whole I can't do the mess and
they get a moment Q went through. So we've we've

(07:27):
got any accus I thought we were right up to
about I D. But one of your previous calls said,
are J number plates like like a hawk? And there's
just something I do So also, any number plate that
could be considered offensive is inhibited, So PMS isn't out there.

(07:51):
I don't think it's out there. I could be wrong
on that one.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
PMS because of.

Speaker 9 (07:57):
Premisal attention.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Pm T, wouldn't it.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
Yeah, I think both its antie and missing.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I see, oh, I see you've got I see you've
got p m T. You'd be saying that, wouldn't yeh?

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (08:11):
Ok yeah. Kg B was inhibited, but gru wasn't. I
thought was rather interesting because the g IU was even
worse than the k g B.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
So it goes A B, C, D E, F g
h J k L m N p if U R
S t U w x y Z. Very good, okay, dB,
when we did two letters and four digits? Yes, did
we go right to the very end and we go

(08:47):
to z Z nine nine nine nine or they give
up and cut to the new system kind of towards
the end.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
I think they cut before the end. I've never seen
the Z go through, and I have a suspicion, and
they cut around about z S.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
You was just about falling off, falling off your ergonomic
store when you heard this was the topic for tonight.

Speaker 9 (09:13):
Well, yes, I don't.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Actually, Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's another plate.

Speaker 9 (09:19):
The swell of my pet subject.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah it is too, okay, ververity plates for losers.

Speaker 9 (09:30):
No, no, because I've seen some absolutely wonderful ones. The
the head of the Flying School and hard more was
ab a trip. Yes there was a female. I've got
two that I want, I want, I S I T
A and I H I A h scene. One of

(09:51):
them is I'm sorry, I read it again, and the
other one is I'm sorry I have the clue?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is it?

Speaker 13 (09:57):
In?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
What language?

Speaker 14 (09:58):
Is?

Speaker 10 (09:58):
It?

Speaker 9 (10:01):
Will be both radio shows?

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I see, tell me it again.

Speaker 9 (10:07):
I'm sorry I having the clue? Is the Monty Python
So it's.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Just it's just the first letters of that yes, okay, yep,
understand comprey.

Speaker 9 (10:15):
Date and and I'm sorry, I'm sorry having to clues
another British panel show.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay, so so there you go.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
So sorry.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
If we're up to how many years? Well what years
were the triple digits? Triple numbers to d wind that cabin?

Speaker 9 (10:34):
Oh you've got me there, I could look it up.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Where would you lock?

Speaker 9 (10:40):
He's in another site from.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Tarry Okay, could you could you look that up for me?
Into it texts me when the first triple number triple?
Because what are we going to go to next?

Speaker 10 (10:55):
Is?

Speaker 2 (10:55):
With the discussion? You'll be on a forum? Are you
have you got a website that you people get together like.

Speaker 9 (11:02):
A'm sure there is one, but I don't be.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Frequented interact with other people.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
No, it's a solo joy. Could you tell me when
the could you find out when the first three number,
three three letters, three numbers was?

Speaker 6 (11:21):
I'm just looking now, oh, multitasker.

Speaker 9 (11:25):
Yeah, I can't see it at once, so I'll go
dig it. An old test letter.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Someone said, my zis number plate was the year two thousand, Marcus,
iither plate ZD brought the year two thousand. So it
seems as though I've had twenty five years of the
self a bit so, so we're probably got seven years left.
Will that be a fair thing?

Speaker 9 (11:54):
Yeah, I've been along with that, and I suspect we'll
go to four alpha two.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
We will Arica, we'll go back to this one again.

Speaker 9 (12:07):
You might be written, we'll recycle. Yeah, I don't like
that sort of trick.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
The Americans had.

Speaker 9 (12:18):
Double alpha double America one alpha.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Sorry, what was the.

Speaker 9 (12:24):
Salt had to go to all this sort of stuff?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Okay? Did you was it something else you were dying
to say? Who to say something that I interrupted you?

Speaker 8 (12:32):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Have you said anything you want? Is the more stuff
you've got?

Speaker 8 (12:35):
No?

Speaker 9 (12:35):
No, I'll I'll hold anything else. I don't thinking anything
else of another place.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
But with four letters there will be some interesting words,
whyn't they which they'll probably put the KAIH on.

Speaker 9 (12:48):
They don't hibit anything like as you said, starting.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
With fle'll see even with the three letter ones.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
I don't think s h.

Speaker 8 (12:57):
T was allowed, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Well?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Even?

Speaker 9 (13:02):
And then I spot something missing in in the series. Yeah,
the program all of New Zealand. I could keep an
eye on them.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yes, But now in the now, in the WAPs, she
probably don't get much, do you.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
Well, I'm less swapping at the moment I was translocated
to whit Holer.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Goodness me me the dirty bird, the black Swan.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
Yeah, I pick up a little job up here that
I'm doing temporarily.

Speaker 8 (13:32):
So.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
They take it the takeaway. The takeaway seems pretty good,
doesn't There's always cars out that side that garage where
they sell the fish.

Speaker 9 (13:42):
Well they they have their own fishing boats, so.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes, that's right. But where did the boat go out of?
Where does the boat go out of.

Speaker 9 (13:52):
I didn't ask them, but I wouldn't mind getting the
tiring mouth.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah it was today, okay, brilliant d B.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well that's good. I'm often passed. Why holer. Nice to
hear from you. There we go. It's number plates like
a shit a barrel. Yeah, well you'll be getting a
lot of number of plates at Wahla. That's State Highway one.
You get the boy races coming north from Milton, past

(14:18):
the Milton Kink, Strong start, Nana from Devenport. Text to
last Texas Evening, Marcus, I stay the alphabet backwards. Great
show always Nana and Devenport and a text tonight. What
a boring topic going to bed. We don't need all
the feedback, promise you, Alice, Marcus. Welcome, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (14:43):
Hello.

Speaker 15 (14:44):
I know you hate me, but I have to tell you.
The best I have seen ever is E E Space
D I T. And it lives in Cocaine Roads, Tindala,

(15:04):
Wellington Ages.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I get it.

Speaker 15 (15:11):
What's written, what I've ever seen?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
What sort of car is it?

Speaker 15 (15:17):
I don't know. I don't look at what cars are that.
That's what the number of players is. It's the best
thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
In my wo.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Wow, there we are, Gondala. It's probably a Tesla. Shelley
Marcus welcome. Hello, Hi Shelly, greetings, Hi, how are you good? Good?

Speaker 16 (15:44):
Good, it's good. I tried to send you a TICS
but it wouldn't go through, so I know it must
be a yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
I think if you've been, I think your TICS goes through.
It just can't be read. Paranoid.

Speaker 16 (16:05):
No, I must have top up because it's an hundred number.
C yeah let your ring a yet makes your ring?

Speaker 7 (16:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Right?

Speaker 17 (16:14):
So number plates.

Speaker 16 (16:16):
Nineteen ninety five I got myself a second ten car
and it started. The letters were t IF and the
reason that had debt on it because the last on
ahead of personalized number plates.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Oh yes, understand right, so it was it was a
new registered one. When did you say? Nineteen ninety eight?

Speaker 16 (16:42):
Ninety five?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
As well, listening is improving. I'm closed, yes, nineteen ninety.

Speaker 16 (16:46):
Five and about about this time of year.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Too, winter winter plate, winter car what yees?

Speaker 16 (16:54):
And t IF yeah wow, so I reckon mid nineties.
It was when the number plates changed and all they
need to do it's just fop a ground, put the
leaders at the start and the numbers.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I know the numbers at the start.

Speaker 16 (17:12):
It's a good idea, yeah today.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
And then we're gon and there with another thirty years
or so, wouldn't we yeah, be like lotto. I imagine
there's probably there and there could be some technology where
you don't need number plates because it's just some sort
of chip. You've got, not a potato chip but a
computer chip. Yeah, okay, nice Jelly liked you a lot,
Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (17:37):
Yeah, evening, Marcus. Stay. My number plate is one of
those one that's a little bit dodgy, if you know
in the background. I applied well to start up the story.
My wife never said boot or a goose. She wouldn't
swear in her life, but I had occasions when I

(18:00):
upse eat her and she would say to me, you're
just IF and C. And so my daughter said, you
have to.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Get that plate there.

Speaker 17 (18:13):
It took me two.

Speaker 12 (18:14):
Months of negotiations because the connotation of fn C was
a bit rough for them. But having had a takeaway,
we managed to get a number a message plate sorting
out and it says across the top the messages mister
fish and chips, IF and sea. So all my mates

(18:41):
that know what the background is it's quite a comical plate.
Whereas people that don't know it's fish and chips.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So all it's got is fn C yeah wow, yeah,
but they wouldn't allow.

Speaker 12 (18:59):
The numbers strayed out to start with that. When we
turned it into a message plate, they said it was okay,
but it took a lot and they get took two
months to talk them into it.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Can you scrape off the message?

Speaker 12 (19:16):
Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
But it's just printed on. It's not raised like the letter,
is it.

Speaker 12 (19:24):
Uh, it's part of the plate. Yeah, I know it's No,
it's not raised, it's printed. I think I couldn't tell
you something I've never looked at. But I mean everyone
that knows me knows the background and get quite a
smile out of it, whereas people are going, it's just
another plate with with three letters on it.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Brilliant, David, it's a good call. Gosh, what a rich
what a rich topic with mine tonight? Oh wait, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine two detects with
you till twelve. So there are some three of the combinations.
You can't have a SS and c U M therefore bitten.

(20:07):
But yeah, we're working through it quite quickly. It seems
like in twenty five years we've gone from triple AE
to RFK, and before long we'll be at triple Z
and then we need to do something else and there's
no word what Yep, someone said, Marcus wed a ZU
plate early two thousand and one, and three letter plates

(20:29):
done in April two thousand and one. Hmm, Marcus. Those
clear plastic covers that you could buy to fit over
your plate to make the plate difficult for a speed
camera to read. Were a scare bike. Yes, I remember
that as surprise they were legal. Anyway, Good evening, Bruce, Welcome.

Speaker 18 (20:59):
Good evening. I've been watching legislation plates for years, just
with any curiosity I have. I've seen around christ here
a registration plate someone someone has jumped the gun and
realizing that very soon this we're going to have to

(21:20):
change the system. But the registration plate around town z
z ZE eight.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Really well, it's quite that's quite interesting.

Speaker 18 (21:31):
Yeah, And I've seen a couple of other triple Z
too with three numbers.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Is it's kind of wrecking the system if you get
one in advance.

Speaker 18 (21:40):
Absolutely, it is.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Said about that.

Speaker 18 (21:45):
And going back one other I didn't. I think you
missed the letter V. They don't use the letter V
and they haven't used it for since their d I
think I've seen Hamiltons to live up there, and there
was no they stopped to be out F V. There

(22:06):
no GV or anything anything else. When they had two letters.
They stopped using a leather V. For one reason, people
were people have rough handwriting, and the letter of it
when they wrote the letter V out was coming out.

Speaker 8 (22:20):
Of a U.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Oh yeah, I know. People are a bit blocky and
sticky with their writing.

Speaker 18 (22:24):
Yeah, okay, true.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So there's no eyes, there's no o's, there's no v's.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (22:30):
For that reason, yes, but the people being right saying
that the three letters.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
There's also there's also normally no zero is there apart
from if it's a vanity plate, Yeah, there is zeros,
There is zeros. There is zero zero, Yeah, there is
there is if it's one hundred year of course that's right.

Speaker 19 (22:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, but sometimes if it's a vanity plate, they put
a line through the zero.

Speaker 18 (22:58):
That's right to make it, to make it a zero.
That's true.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, that's weird too, isn't it. Gosh? What an interesting
thing this is?

Speaker 18 (23:05):
Yes, Okay, all I've got to.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Say that's the most recent one you've seen, Bruce, Oh,
that but that should if you've seen r JF.

Speaker 18 (23:20):
JF No, I've seen ire something. Yeah, I've seen are Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Brilliant, seems to be a person passionate about plates. Someone
said the current system is going to go on for
another ten years, but I don't believe that that's right
because it started in two thousand and one and we've
gone for twenty four years. And what letters hasn't got
There's no I, and there's no O O, and there's
no V. So there's twenty three letters and we are

(23:47):
through one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nineteen eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
sixteen out of twenty three, sixteen hundred, twenty three and
sixteen hundred. Woo, where's mcncel button. We're seventy percent through it.

(24:19):
So if we're seventy percent through it in twenty three years,
we haven't got long at all. So Yeah, anyway, John,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (24:30):
Good evening, Good Marcus, thanks for having me on the show.
I've got a story, excellent, I've got a story for
you about my parents' Rev.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
Four.

Speaker 21 (24:42):
They bought it, I don't know, maybe eight nine years
ago when they brought the motor home.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
To toe behind the Toe.

Speaker 21 (24:50):
Behind the motor home, and they made the mistake of
putting a post in the family chat group, what shall
we call our car? And so I'm a big fan
of low harm mischief and and so one of us anyway,
from the family basis of us like that, suggested that

(25:14):
they should call the car Bumface. And and there were
probably about I don't know ken also people posting you know,
suggestions and some pieces like that. But what we did
was we created a sublobby group and then if anyone
posted another name, then would just override that with bum Face,
so that you know, it's my name there, bud based,
bud Face, bud Face. So eventually we I think they

(25:38):
gave up. But my brother in law, he was quite resourceful,
and so this brings it back to the another plate.
He went and bought a surround for mum and Dad's
rare four and it reads, you know, around around another
plate of we called this car Bumface. And so what

(26:02):
he did was he actually snuck he was they were
visiting him, and so he snuck the surround on and
they were driving around with the notification of the actual
proper name of the car, which is bum Face, and
they didn't know. And it was just absolutely glorious. That
was I loved it so much.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I didn't really understand much of that story. What did
you say, you say you're into low hum? That's where
I went wobbly. What did you say you're into?

Speaker 21 (26:28):
Story?

Speaker 13 (26:29):
Low harm?

Speaker 8 (26:31):
Mischief?

Speaker 9 (26:32):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Low harm? I thought you said low hum, like you're
into drum and bass or something.

Speaker 21 (26:36):
Okay, all right, yeah there, so, yeah, that's the story
of Bumface.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
So is the number plate bum Face?

Speaker 21 (26:49):
No, the number plate surround is bum Faced.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I don't think they should have even done that. I'm
not a fan of number plates surrounds because you can't read.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
Them if you're close enough.

Speaker 21 (27:00):
Yeah, like, you know, if you get on your hands
and knees behind the car and specification close enough then But.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
What are the number what are the letters and numbers?

Speaker 21 (27:11):
I have no idea. I don't know what the extra
number plate is, but I know that the car's name
is Bumface, and I'm really happy about that.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Brilliant cheaper. Are we studying that call in university? Oh?
Oh yeah, Wow, that was a lot to digest. I
just want to know what we're going to do when
the system runs out. There's been no discussion. We haven't

(27:44):
got long left, had no idea. They had no o's
eyes or v's And I guess the number plaque concept
will remain forever, will it? Will it go to a
bar code or something. It's interesting how such a simple

(28:04):
concept has lasted so very long and almost universally. I
think in the United States of America they have separate
numbers for each state. I think it's on a state level.
I don't know what England has. Are they three digits

(28:28):
and three letters? There is a website called number Plates
of the World. It's actually called Licensed Plates of the World.
It's pretty interesting, but swaa. They all seem to begin
with B and Dora begins with a M D. Not

(28:50):
many cars at and Dora. You might want to talk,
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine two to
text Marcus. If you buy a European like a Mini,
of the choice of picking a z z X number plate.
I don't like the fact you can chew because the
BMW has had special plates, didn't they You might need

(29:12):
to explain the z ZX because then you see something
out of that I don't fully understand. Yes, it goes quickly.
My ge k is twenty twelve. I think it's about
twelve million combinations possible. If you take out the V
and the I and the R, it's seventeen million with them.
But if it's just twenty three times twenty three times

(29:32):
twenty three times nine nine nine Marcus Nezi and follows
the UK. So if you've got the UK plates, you'll
see the way it's going. I could look up the
UK plates. They go four. Oh, see what a dog

(29:55):
breakfast that is? I think they go letter letter letter number,
letter letter letter and that's pretty waky, isn't it? Fourteen
to nine, Good evening, Peter, Peter, Peter.

Speaker 13 (30:15):
Greevy, Marcus. They do have o's on the number.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Plate, because we're first car off the show and we.

Speaker 13 (30:22):
Ever bought my wife and I.

Speaker 9 (30:24):
It was O X triple four.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (30:28):
They do have o's, but we may try to get
the name cookie co ok I E went co okay
one E.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Maybe they don't have Maybe they don't have o's in
the three letter format we have now. Because dB didn't
sound like I knew what he was talking about. Maybe
we had in the two letters, but not in the
three letters.

Speaker 13 (30:52):
Possibly eighty nine.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
What we've got the show.

Speaker 13 (30:58):
We we got off the show in four nine eighty nine,
So but I think the the triple ones come up
and two thousand. What you said, and I'm.

Speaker 7 (31:08):
Thinking what could have when we go through the lot we.

Speaker 13 (31:11):
Might have numbers first, then the letters, right, two, A, B, C,
D E. Well whatever you know or one you know,
we'll put the numbers first.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Because the ones in Great Britain seem recomplicated.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Oh yeah, well, well when you when you read it
out of.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
It, well, I'm still not sure about it. I'm still
I'm still kind of underwiseer because it had it had
zeros that could have been could have been zero's or
or the letter O.

Speaker 9 (31:47):
Well so.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Ai. Great Britain number plates follow a specific format consisting
of seven characters two letters, followed by two numbers of space,
then three more letters.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
Well that's seven, yes, do you reckon?

Speaker 12 (32:02):
We go seven here?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Well, this is a bit more different because the first
two letters indicate the region where the vehicle was first registered,
the two numbers represent the age of the vehicle, and
the three final letters are chosen at random. So it's
a bit kind of it's a bit more intricate.

Speaker 13 (32:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, see you coming from. But know the
O that exists, I can't say what happens in the
three digits.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Was his surnameed cock.

Speaker 13 (32:36):
Yeah co okay, and he went so okay, And I
looked at it fat because.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I'd be saying to him. I'd be saying to old
mister Cock, wise your number plate, say cook one A
what's that about? Mate?

Speaker 11 (32:55):
That's what I had.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, yeah, Well, it's always if someone's got a number
plate that's lame like that, because to use a number
instead of a letter, it's always good to ask them
the question and highlighted. I reckon, that's what i'd do,
old mister kok one, because that's just such a smug thing.
A number plate. It is it, I don't know, get

(33:18):
in touch. It's about the world of it's smaller a
text of texts. The zero was the O was using
the two letter format, same as I n V, but
not used in the three letter format. And apparently, if

(33:39):
you buy a European car you have the choice of
going double Z, something which I don't really understand. Why
would you want that? I don't know Marcus Beck of
the old In my Oe days, land number plates were
three alpha three numeric one alpha. In Switzerland you have
your own registration plate and your bike or trail will

(34:01):
be the same plate as your car. And if you
tell sell cars you take plate with you, you've got
plate portability. Yeah, someone said two letter number plates are

(34:21):
worth well north of one hundred K. Really, I suppose
that someone's prepared to pay for it. So it seems
as though there's some special deal for the triple Z
plates or the double Z plates. Marcus. I own an
old MGB roadster and am I vain for owning the
number plate GB MGB GB stands for Great Britain. Personally,

(34:44):
I think they have recalled. They always get great compliments.
I mean off with three times when I paid for them,
so a great investment. Oh, each to their own. I
suppose someone said the triple A triple three numbers series
started at AAA one O four. What did they start there?

(35:08):
We're not a one. Marcus talking about plate shot aloud
as they might be offensive. Not so long ago, I
went on the perslized plate website and guess what labia
was available when I rung them. I wasn't allowed at
and it was removed as available from Dino. Good on

(35:31):
your Dino. Good evening, Ron, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 22 (35:37):
Yes, good evening to you, Marcus, Sarah Ron here, Michael.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
My pleasure and my job.

Speaker 22 (35:43):
Oh that's good. That's nice to hear from you. Look.
The first card number plate that was issued ok in
the world you may not be you may be aware of.
It was issue to the second Earl Russell of Hastings,
which is in Sussex. The number plate was a one

(36:05):
because I was a member of the AUK and the
car has a bag on it. I won. It was
the enough first time I faked to shoot to a vehicle.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
And what year was that?

Speaker 22 (36:21):
It doesn't say. I'm just like an adverse thing. Where
I'm going from doesn't say what it was. But I
was to go right back to the beginning of the
nineteenth century.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
What what are you reading from?

Speaker 22 (36:32):
Oh? I saw it A long wrong final guy, I
remember I had when you were talking about these things,
I thought, right, I remember that I had something on
that somewhere and I've just pounted in my one of
my notebooks.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Oh you've written it down.

Speaker 22 (36:44):
Oh yeah, A long time ago.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Brilliant, nice to hear from you run. According to the
Guinness Book of Records, the world's oldest number plate was
one on a Canadian vehicle issued in eighteen eighty four.
It was a number plate that just said six. Yeah.

(37:08):
So yes, it's quite a hotly contested thing. The registration
was indeed one of a serious issue to Victorian taxis,
a response to concerns about overcharging by operators. Furthermore, Connect
Canada's claim to number plate posterity is hotly contested on
the grounds that the eighteen ninety three taxis were in
fact horse drawn. Oh yes, if it's a number plate

(37:30):
on a horse drawn carriage, then does it count. Yeah? Anyway,
just coming up to the news people, it's all about

(37:51):
number plates so far, Marcus, New Zealand. New zealandersn't personalized
license place are an odd phenomenon. Yes, I think they are.
Just recently went and reregistered a broken car so I
could get it back on the road at VT and Z.
Just about the hand over the money, I noticed the

(38:13):
new plate started r e K too much like reck.
Changed my mind went to AA there new plates started RFG.
That was better real if n G God, oh god, real,
if and good. So it looks like a lot of
people sort of make up words to go with their

(38:35):
three letters. It seems got an interesting world, the world
of plates. So if anyone's a fan of number plates,
I know a lot of you are. There is an
extremely good Wikipedia page. It's got it all there, It's

(38:57):
got all the ones that have been skipped. It's an
extremely good website. Cereals in the C, C, C and
DCC series have been reserved for diplomatic purposes. E B
A F C C IF N A if N z

(39:17):
m m M n W A pc, p p d
w f pf z gp gf if pg r p
h g n p qu w s ps D and
p U B will also exclude it. Don't know why.
After the christ Church Mosque shootings, n z TA offered

(39:37):
to replace any plates in the g U N series
on request or those series was not withdrawn. So the
two letters and four digits started in nineteen seventy I think,
but they went they were white on black, then they
became black on white in nineteen eighty seven. So it's

(40:01):
extremely interesting. There is a number plate looking up system,
but it's an extremely good website. If you need to
go to that. Someone said their microchip, but apparently they're not.

(40:25):
But yeah, there's a lot of information on the Wikipedia page.
It's free, well curated, one of the best websites I've seen.
So when they did two letters, four numbers, the last
one issued was z Z nine nine eight nine because
the other two had been issued as personalized plates. And

(40:47):
when they start in two thousand and one with three
letters followed by three numbers starting at one hundred lt
INZ it also issued AAA one hundred AAA one O
three as personalized plates, which meant the first plate in
the new series was AAA one oh four. But then

(41:12):
they went when it got to CEA, they started with one,
not one hundred. Recomplicated, and I think some plates were
reserved for the Cook Islands, so not all plates were issued. Anyway,
we I talk about number plates. I just wanted to
know what they went, what we're going to do when

(41:32):
we right out of the system, which some say could
be a nine or ten years. I don't know what
system will go to. So it's everything about number plates.
If you want to say something about that, would love
to hear from you tonight. It's an extremely interesting topic
with a lot to explore. Oh, anyway, get in touch

(41:59):
if you want to be a part of the discussion
about number. The other thing that I was mindful of
talking about, and it's a sort of it's a slow,
lately serious topic. It's not something I'd normally venture into
because it's contentious, and it is contentious and feelings run

(42:22):
high on it. And what I wouldn't mind discussing is
the future of our military. And I say this because
I think we're expected to increase our spend as a

(42:43):
percentage of our GDP up to five percent, I think,
from two percent something like that, and this is pressure
from America. But having spent some time today reading about
the intricacies of the Russia Ukraine War and the fact
that that's almost become a stalemate. The reason it's become

(43:04):
a stalemate is because the Ukraine have very quickly pivoted
to getting started with big young tech entrepreneurs who have
given up their own business and got involved with the military.
And they are very much involved with designing and building,

(43:26):
mainly using three D printers, extremely cheap drones which have
had remarkable success with and they've been all over, well
not all over, but they certainly have had much greater
success than you could imagine after they've been up against
the huge amount of Russia. So the new form of

(43:51):
warfare or combat appears to be all about drones and
AI and I think even America themselves have been caught
flat footed on this. They haven't really pivoted that way,
but because of necessity, the Ukraine's done that revery quickly
and with success, And they're making drones about five hundred

(44:12):
bucks each that the're knocking out missiles worthing with tens
of millions of dollars. So yeah, it seems to be
an airborne form of battle now with drones, and it's
highly understandable because you've got people and the drones all
have cameras and batteries and you steer them. People on

(44:35):
computers steer them from anywhere, and they can target places
or people or bombs and nullify them. So it's all
changed quite quickly, and normally in combat, you know you
are favored if you are the person that adapts the quickest.

(44:58):
So I'm not saying that New Zealand should not spend
less on its military, because that's not my decision. But
I just wonder the wisdom of continuing down the Navy,
air Force, army type thing, particularly when we see the
cries for people saying the army needs to be helping

(45:18):
out in Tasman, and I don't see that they are.
But yeah, what is the future of armed forces? But
it seemed foot soldiers are a thing in the past.
It seems probably the air force or a thing of
the past. Navy I'm not sure about, but drone boats
might be the future too. So if we are going

(45:41):
to spend more and rejuvenatile armed forces, what would you
be doing it for and how would you do it?
Because you've really got to think what are our threats
going to be and what are the best things for
those threats? And I kind of think probably rather than
forming a new division, would probably be off getting some
sort of high tech university department involved in drones or

(46:04):
something along those lines. Although I imagine that probably what's
going to happen is because we're in some sort of
alliance with America, they'll be wanting us to buy their
old school type missiles and things that probably are no
longer relevant. So yeah, that might have prompted you to
say something about that. We're talking about the future of

(46:24):
the military New Zealand, and how do we make that
military fit for purpose? Anyway? So there's that also, if
you want to come through that, I'll read the text
we've got soon.

Speaker 13 (46:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Marcus is a dairy farmer. I've always dreamed of a
personalized number plate. Three titter. I reckon it would be
a cracker, Marcus. I'm following a car with a number
plate QJJ and then three numerals right now. I don't
follow what you mean about Q not beat on number plates.
That's what it says. Did I say Q?

Speaker 7 (46:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
I think it's I and O and V and X
are the ones that aren't used. Don't they use X
for car dealership temporary license plates? Yes, they could well
do that. Marcus. Just tuned into your number plate theme
this evening. The first n ZED number plates were made
in the USA in nineteen twenty five, were prefixed n Z.

(47:23):
Previously to that, they were hand painted. They have a
good collection of plates of every year, including a hand
painted set O W six zero and I think in
the United States of America they were made by prisoners.
I don't know if they still do that. I don't
know if in New zin And we did that. That
would be an interest as well. So we are talking

(47:43):
number plates and also pivoting. If you want to talk
about what form the military of the future in New
Zealand should take, that'd be all in non drones. That
would be me drones and people that can build them
and people that can operate them. Am I wrong, Pete? Marcus? Welcome,

(48:04):
Hi Pete, Well, welcome Pete. It's Marcus.

Speaker 23 (48:13):
Good evening, Good evening. Being the drone operators the most
deadly job occupation you.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
Can have, now, is that right?

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Tell me more about that? Tell me more about this.

Speaker 23 (48:28):
Well, the Russians go after the Ukrainians by drones and
artillery and all that sort of stuff. They've lost. I
think the Ukrainians have lost somewhere in the one point
five to one point eight million plus two hundred and
fifty thousand Ukrainians deserted. Goodness knows how many injured, no

(48:48):
official figures, and Russia, goodness knows how many they've lost
that sequence, it's probably in the hundreds of thousands plus.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
I think that's in the millions for the Russians.

Speaker 23 (49:01):
I think, why would it be in the millions.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Just because from the articles day and I can quote
it to you. If you like what, I can find
the actual package passage for you. Just just haang on
their peak and I'll find the actual it says in
the article, when the Russian army rolled into the ukrainile
was a crypt for a conflict from an earlier era,
an old fashioned land war prosecuted by tanks and heavy artillery.

(49:28):
In response, Ukraine devised a futuristic take on hit and
rungular operations. Now, when a Russian column tries to advance,
it's met by a swarm of buzzing bombs. Russia has
suffered a million casualties in its attempt to invade Sincejwly
twenty twenty four. According to an estimate by Mikailo Shamus,
a researcher in Kiev, about eighty percent of its losses

(49:49):
in men and material have been inflicted by drones. So
that's the quote I was article I was reading from Pete.

Speaker 23 (49:56):
Well, if it comes from Kiev, you have to remember.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
That the it doesn't come from Kiev, it comes from
Ancestral magazine. Market's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 24 (50:07):
Yeah, you get a Marcus you.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Well, yeah, good Mike yourself, I'm very well.

Speaker 24 (50:13):
Yeah, long time listeners. First, I called your show anyway
from you yeah, oh yeah, look real quick. So this
is very interesting because I've been following the Russian invasion
since it first took off.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Now I want to draw your.

Speaker 24 (50:31):
Attention and your listeners to there was a movie made
twenty plus years ago, good Screamers, and what it is
that it talked about the use of I guess drones
in our parlance, but back then it was just robots,

(50:52):
and it was this idea that warfare would never be
human on human, it would be machine on human. And
I'll tell you what I've been following, and let's be fair,
I've got friends over there Ukraine currently fighting, so I
understand what it's light. So this idea of drones is

(51:15):
not only frightening and I've seen the videos, but it's
also the future of warfare. And it's interesting because we
are used to seeing on the movies and seeing in
news drones being the predator, drones under missiles twenty thirty

(51:38):
forty kilometers above the earth and just doing what they do,
and we get to see that we are not used
to seeing drones being a little toy boxed size things
chasing people around the battlefield. So it's different, and it's
it's interesting and it's scary.

Speaker 14 (52:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
So well, I mean the Ukraine had no other option.
They had to adaptree quickly, didn't they. And they can
do that cheaply. We've got big factories of people with
three D printers making hundreds of thousands of drones.

Speaker 24 (52:15):
And you're right, Marcus, because it comes down to cost.
So each one of the drones, if I'm correct then
I may not be, is about one hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Yeah, I think the military ones are about five. I
think the military one's about five hundred from the article
I was reading.

Speaker 24 (52:30):
Yes, so you've got one hundred dollars versus two or
three million dollars I.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Think about eighteen I think about eighteen million for one
of those bombs that they use.

Speaker 25 (52:39):
Yeah, yes, exactly.

Speaker 24 (52:42):
So that that's where we're at as a society. As
any country going to war, what are you going to do?
Are you going to follow a Geneva convention or are
you just going to win it all costs? And that's
where we're at as a society.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Got to live at the headlines. Might be nice to
hear from you. The number is eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to text if you
want to come through Pete the Russian ak lord. Haha, yeah,
fair enough. Marcus' is in and well equipped with drones.
The behivers follow them dB tokudoa so welcome and get
in touch in seeing Cheersy's quote quote in the text,

(53:22):
people are following that JT. It's Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 11 (53:28):
You know, Marcus, you remember the Holden Commodore that used
to be called the V series, and they had the
V L, the VN, the VS, and then they got
all the way up to v Z and I thought, oh,
what are they going to do from here? And they
ended up going back to V A, And of course

(53:51):
they couldn't go with Victorian better BVB or v C,
VI Kong or v D, so that the next one.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Was the V the first time round. Did they have
all of those? They started VA with the through first ones?

Speaker 11 (54:10):
No, I think they started halfway through alphabet Yeah, I understand.
But with number plates? Are remember seeing an article a
while ago they missed out all the number plates starting
with FN, even though it's a well known German arms manufacturer. Okay,

(54:35):
so have you heard of then fal one of the
world's great battle Rifles.

Speaker 13 (54:41):
No.

Speaker 11 (54:43):
Yeah, so it's a well known brand in Europe. But
in the US their number plates have told state nicknames
on them. Have you ever looked into that?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Yeah? Yeah, I spent a bit of time driving around
the states I have seen. You give me an example.

Speaker 11 (55:04):
Well, there's an of them which flora, peach, blue grass, magnolia, sunflower,
and so on. And then there's another twelve that are
named after topographical features like Mountain State, Wyoming, Great Mountain, Vermont,

(55:29):
Ocean State, the Bay State, the Bay U State, the
Prairie State, the Grand Canyon State. And then there's another
five or so named after rocks, the Granite State, gem State,
Silver State, Golden State, and Keystone State.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Are there birds in there as well? Each state has
its own bird, but maybe that's not a number plate thing.

Speaker 23 (56:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (56:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (56:02):
The flora, there's lots of flora, but there's only one animal,
and that's Beaver State, which is what And that's Oregon?

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Oh yep? What's Hawaiian?

Speaker 11 (56:19):
Is it the Sunshine State? Or was that Florida? And
that might be the Lowhargh State. There's another ten or
so states where they're named after the mythical figures from
statehood like the tar Heels, the Sooners, the Hoosier Pilgrim's Hawkeyes,

(56:44):
and then the Last Frontier, the Centennial State, the Lone
Star State that's Texas, the Old Line State, the Old
Dominion State, and the Old Constitution State, and the Empire State.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I think there is another one that's an animal. That's
the Badge Estate, which is Wisconsin.

Speaker 11 (57:06):
Yes, some well some of them have got two different Okay.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
What makes it complicated?

Speaker 11 (57:10):
Doesn't ask over time? So yeah, because one of my
one of my favorite is Maine. If I were going
to live in a state in America, I think I'd
live in Maine. And that's that it's vacation land. But
also the Pine State, pine Tree State.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
What's the word with Hoosier.

Speaker 11 (57:33):
Yeah, that's from Indiana. A new word.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
But what does is that come from?

Speaker 11 (57:38):
It only comes from a movie from the seventies. And
then there's all these basketball teams named after it, you know,
Indiana State.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Okay, I don't know much about the Whosier is. Okay.

Speaker 11 (57:55):
As far as drones go, drones aren't. Drones are more
of a short range weapon. So I think New Zeland
has to concentrate on having a navy.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Would have a drone day. But there's there's I think
the Ukraine's having a huge success with maritime drones also.

Speaker 11 (58:13):
Well, there's a whole new range of drones coming out
called in the next year or two in America called
the ancillary drones. And they're going to be launched from
frigates or launched from land and they can stay up
for twenty four hours, flying like a conventional aircraft that
they can take off in land vertically. Yeah, and they'll

(58:35):
have a weapons payload taking of for a couple of
hundred kiload so they'll be able to use for any
number of things. It'd be good for surveillance, yeah, and
even an attack and all sorts. Nice to talk, JTP
to move on twenty three away from ten even it's Marcus.
Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 26 (58:56):
Hey Magi, saw you good.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Thanks Evan.

Speaker 26 (58:59):
You know, I just wanted to think about the drones
and they do have a lot of advantages in regards
to saving you know, putting foot soldiers on the ground
that one. But they are very they are a very
highly tactical, precise.

Speaker 9 (59:11):
Ope and it's che.

Speaker 26 (59:15):
But like that's the way that wharf is going. But
I mean, I think like New Zealandy trying to stay
out of the Ukraine kind of can't think of it
because it's more like it's it's from America. It's more
of a proxy.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Oh yeah, just to be clear of it, I'm not
talking about the Ukraine. I'm talking about that Wolf is
changed that we have an army. We have an army,
a navy, and an air force. It seems that the
air force is probably not much use anymore because it's
all drones. The army, I mean, footsholds, foot solders seem
to be a thing of the past, and they're not

(59:50):
even used for going to like the Tasman for the cleanup.
So they're getting used to ground combat, which when was
the last time we saw that? Yes, it does it storm.

Speaker 26 (01:00:04):
So there's definitely beneficial in that regard for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:00:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
So I think if we're doing a readig of the
forces and we have to work out what the point
of them was, wouldn't we.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
I presume most of it's to keep China at bay
in the Pacific for places like the Cook Islands where
it's already looking sketchy. But how is that going to
manifest itself or an invasion of Taiwan.

Speaker 26 (01:00:27):
Yeah, well that it wouldn't be good, but I mean
it's the way things are going at the moment. I
mean you've also got to consider look at that Scott
Ridder and Colonel Douglas and McGregor, that really tell you
what's going on because the Western media does so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Sorry even you've just you've just you've just gone off peast.
What did you say?

Speaker 26 (01:00:49):
It's worth considering what looking at uncensored platforms for the
news and what's really going on as well, because a
lot of what the Western media tells you is a
lot of it's not really what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
So how would you know that.

Speaker 26 (01:01:06):
By doing the research?

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Man, where at a university.

Speaker 26 (01:01:13):
You just look on like like unsensored platforms like ramble.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Is it we're doing the researchers.

Speaker 26 (01:01:19):
Even that's just looking at stuff that's not censored by
the media.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
That's okay, good evening, Quinnett's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:01:28):
Welcome, Hey Marcus. How's it going, Thanks?

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Quinny? How are you?

Speaker 13 (01:01:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:01:34):
Good?

Speaker 9 (01:01:34):
Good?

Speaker 10 (01:01:35):
I just said a couple Well, one thing I wanted
to talk about, which was I definitely think raising the
raising the funding for the military is a great idea,
and you know, who you brought up the point of,
you know, where's their funding going to go? I thought
that was it was such a good point, because last
thing we want to do is be buying old technology.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
Yeah, and and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
And and and the suit. And there'd be certainly a
lot of countries that would be trying to prop up
their old war machine by because they themselves haven't pivoted
to the new you know, you know, yeah, they'd be
certainly pressure for us to buy old traditional weapons definitely.

Speaker 10 (01:02:17):
And honestly, Marcus, you have to check out this video.
It's as a video from Xijiang I hope I'm pronouncing
that right, jijiog University in China, and they developed a
drone swarm capability where they've got a whole far looked
like in the video about I don't want to exaggerate,
at fifty or thominus drones mapping a forest in China,

(01:02:40):
and I tell you what, they're avoiding the trees they're scanning,
and it's just a swarm. And all it takes is
a face ID chip and a little bit of explosive
and you have a deadly swarm.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
And if you have a stone, and if you have
a swarm, of drones combined with AI, so they can
target something and they can sort of chase it around
the world. They can do anything.

Speaker 10 (01:03:02):
It's crazy, I think. I think funding more into our
drone capability is a good idea, Like if you can,
if you've got guys that know how drones work and
know how to make drones, they also know how to
counteract and make defense.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Measures, which means that what the military, our military should
be targeting is those smart tech individuals who can construct
all this stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:03:27):
And definitely and potentially putting funds into to help, you know,
future kiwis potentially. I know it sounds horrible, but get
into the industry and you know, well, I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Think drones are their future. And I don't know how
advanced our drone system is, but to me, that would
be the key thing would be to get into drones
because there must be all sorts of you know, it's
going to have more future than dairy farming, you'd think,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 10 (01:03:53):
I think so. I think. So It's hard to tell
what the future is going to hold, but that's definitely
it's definitely up there. I definitely think it's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
On the cart and I don't know, I think probably
our military alliances would bid us from buying drones off
the Chinese military drones, but they would be certainly the
people would be the what would be at the forefront
of than them In the Ukraine, I would think.

Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
Yeah, definitely would be the cheapest.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
We'll start making our own quin. Nice to hear from you.
Thirteen to ten. My name is Marcus. Welcome. I've got
an email here. Sorry, it's a text. I apologize a
text here, Marcus. One day soon, can you please do
a talk show on ozempic. I'm interested in doing it.
Finally available and using it. Apparently lots of keen peeps

(01:04:42):
out there, keen there to get their hands on this.
Would like more info from listeners if anyone done a zempic.
I'm not quite suref it's available yet or seem to
be available. You might have got it overseas. How's that
worked out for you? Someone says, thanks for stopping him.
Who you're talking about? Which one? How do we know

(01:05:05):
who they're a out? Oh yeah, Marcus said Tod Long.
There's a drum manufacturer that supporting the Ukraine with tick
that shoots down Russian at tech drones. It's happening someone's
texted and don't use a zimpic, Marcus. Here's an old

(01:05:25):
school one with it had bit of an island. We
need a strong home guard like Dad's army. I believe
everyone over forty should be ton out to shoot and
handle a rifle. I'm in my fifties and would be
happy to feed us in on the local ground. I'm
enjoying spinning time at the rifle range and the target
is fifty meters away. Is only four meters for the
bulls eye. Great way to learn how to breathe and focus. Yeah,

(01:05:49):
except it's to be get invaded by drones whizzing around.
You know, you can't move in the whole time sideways,
You couldn't take aim at them. I don't want to
be callous. I think that's a crazy idea, but we
have got to think what our minute's going to be
required to do and how to do that. But also

(01:06:10):
the calls out calls on a zimpic. We have gone
from number plates, when will it end? The three letters
the three numbers format that are in at the moment.
We've gone from that to drones and what should the
future of our military be? Where would you focus it on?
They're going to spend more money, but on what frigates
and fighter planes and bombs, because I reckon all those

(01:06:33):
probably will be redundant. So you might want to come
on that. We've also gotten to a zempic.

Speaker 9 (01:06:42):
Or we Go V.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
I think we Go VI's the other ones. It doesn't
sound like a drug we gov does. It sounds like
a character from a video game. But I think we
Go V is a semiglue tide. It's the same stuff,
it's just not the top. You know what they do,
you get parallel drugs. I think we Go He's the

(01:07:05):
one you're getting used. So you might want to have gone
about we Go V as well. It's eight from ten
and I'm here till twelve. Little we Go VIS. Yeah, look,
I don't think I think you get online. There'll be
plenty of people. I mean a lot of people had
a huge amount of success with a ZIMPIIC. I think
the troubler is if you could take it. If you

(01:07:26):
take a zempiic, you lose a lot of weight and
people ask you how you lost your weight, and then
you've got to tell them. I suppose be just honest
not to I guess people would have a problem with
doing that, would they Plenty of people have told people
they've had their stomachs kind of restrained or tucked or

(01:07:46):
stapled or whatever. It is good having met ats Marcus. Welcome,
How you doing good? Thank you, Matt. How are you
doing all right?

Speaker 12 (01:07:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:07:54):
I'm good. On for the cheaper option, just train people
how to deal with drones. May not be that simple.
But instead of investing in the technology we don't have,
just train what we do have to deal.

Speaker 23 (01:08:11):
With them, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
So I say it'd stick with the you'd stick with
the army and the air force and the navy, but
you'd focus them on drone detection and destruction.

Speaker 12 (01:08:25):
Yep, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
So you're trying to combat a brand new form of
warfare with our old style military that was designed for.

Speaker 17 (01:08:40):
Well combat upgrade tectics, of course, but to what instead
of instead of combating drones with drones, were just like
what like the Ukrainians have been doing, you know, hunker.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Down the Ukrainians at the forefront of drone technology. That's
that's why the wars come for stalemate, because they have
nullified the Russians with their.

Speaker 17 (01:09:07):
Drones drone and that's all we can do.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
They're young tech operators. No, it seems to be drones
on tanks. The Russians are old school, haven't haven't kind
of pivoted up in the Ukrainians? We can't do then, No, No,
I didn't want to put yeah, well yeah, I didn't
want to put two fight a point on it, Marcus.
Exercise and enjoy healthy food is empick is temporary weight

(01:09:35):
loss unless you take it forever. What's the cost it's
going to cost you? But as impic habitch is a month,
we go v we go vy, I think it's about
it's a lot. So yeah, that's going to be a
cost for the rest of your life, but you won't
be spending it as much on food between four p

(01:09:56):
fifty and six hundred per month, so it's going to
be expensive. So what's that six hundred a month? That's
seven grand a year. And if you stop taking your
wake goes up again, Richard, AT's Marcus. Welcome, Hello, Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:10:19):
I haven't been ready for what I didn't get a
sound I would have put my speaker on or what listen.
I've had a couple of ninety six motor vehicles had
three digitary numbers recently. I had the other one stolen
getting your songs like the mum he's I'm pen bood.
But there was CPD eight six four thing was and
I got one now d SD nine full line. And

(01:10:41):
they're both ninety six ers, so that's way back the
n s E three years go.

Speaker 9 (01:10:46):
Mate.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
They wouldn't have been their original number play was it
though may have been, and I think that. I think
the three letters three numbers only come out in the
year two thousand.

Speaker 9 (01:10:58):
Yeah, these are both ninety six no, mates, so I
don't know it could be back through what we think.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
No, there must have been.

Speaker 27 (01:11:03):
I was troving my when coming back home.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
I could have.

Speaker 9 (01:11:06):
If I've got to talk to them, they must.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
They must have been reregistered. I would think. You know,
they're not going back that far. I don't think it's
likely going back further than you think, because it's all
on the website a zempick if you want to talk
about that. If anyone's thinking of doing I don't know
if it will become cheaper. I don't think it's going
to be subsidized. I mean it's got it probably is.
If you've got problems with diabetes. I think that's where

(01:11:31):
its real purpose was ten A wait, welcome whatever be.
My name is Marcus Hittel, right through till the end
of time or the end of tonight. We are talking
o zeen pic or we go the I think they
are the same. They might be made by different companies.
I forget the word for drugs that are the subsidiary ones.

(01:11:52):
Someone will tell me what the correct terminology is. I
can't think of it straight off my head anyway. That'll
bug me now, I'll be get in touching on to
talk about that eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine to detext and beverage long after twelve, Philip,
it's Marcus, good.

Speaker 7 (01:12:08):
Evening, Philip.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
I guess I just wanted to talk about his IMPI.

Speaker 23 (01:12:17):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
People actually realize how dangerous it actually is. There's a
lot of side effects known with his impack, just the
basic ones vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, but you know there's anecdomal
evidence and even on the box, on the box that
actually says that there's a risk of thyroid cancer. So

(01:12:40):
it's not a really good medication to be taking it.
If it's if you're just taking it for weight loss,
there's better ways around losing weight. There's also anecdomically evidence
that it actually causes ostrich porosis. You know, your bone
bents goes.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
Down by using it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
And I think, I think you've got to temper what
you're saying a little bit. I mean, it has been
a revolutionary drug. I mean, let's put weight watches out
of business. Yeah, I mean people have had huge success.
For the people that have been obeast their whole life,
it's been it's been life changing for them. And these people,
I mean, these people have probably tried everything. I think,

(01:13:21):
as we know, our diets don't work.

Speaker 5 (01:13:24):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
It depends, It really depends.

Speaker 28 (01:13:26):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
The thing is, there's my background is and to the
cat House, you know, and I run a website called
it or gut House. And what the Sympic does is
it uses as a GP one hormone peptide glickening like
peptide to actually mimic the actions of and helping blood

(01:13:50):
regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. So GP one can
be you know, you know, the impic users since spencifically,
but there are plenty of netropathic medicines that actually do
the same thing and there's less risk for them, and
people are just not aware of it. That's the problem

(01:14:11):
that you know, you've got a big pharmaceutical company that
is pushing for zeenpic, whereas there's actually a lot of
natural alternatives that do the same thing and actually enhance
you know, is it good for your your gut bio
a good fore you gut for you know, rather than
using a chemical based substitute. And it's really concerning when

(01:14:33):
people are actually going on to the Pharmouth Farmouth collegical
way of doing stuff rather than and actually going natural,
which which is better for your for your body.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Yeah, I don't fully know what what to say to that.
I mean, yeah, I don't know how effective your gut
health thing is going to be.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
For weight loss, it's huge.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
I mean I use myself as an example. I last
twenty kilos in two months. So you know, obviously that
requires a weave of control. But you know, I've had
had ladies that have been on that have gone from menopause.
And you know, I have a lady that was on
she was one hundred and twenty six kilos and now
she's eighty five, and she's been like that for nearly

(01:15:21):
two years now because we've actually supported her health.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Do you know anyone that's been you know that? Do
you know anyone that's been on a zimpic?

Speaker 12 (01:15:31):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:15:31):
I do?

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
And who do you know? Were they are? Overseas?

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
Were they?

Speaker 5 (01:15:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Overseas? There was a very famous model and I just
can't recall her name.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
But she's you know what you know of someone?

Speaker 12 (01:15:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Yeah, thin, it's a bit different than knowing someone. The text,
I asked if anyone's experienced o EMPIC and what they
think of it? That was the real question. I guess
that people are saying anyway, Marcus, we have obligations to
NATO and the U n with what military service we provide,
and we need the kit we've got. Just drones wouldn't

(01:16:11):
do the job. Regards Judith or maybe it's time we
had a bit of a rejig. I think NATO's particularly
on the ball. Generic is the word you want, thank you?
To take down drones and a big supply of CPU
chips the drones to cheap the CPU as a complicated part, Marcus,
I recently, ten weeks ago, lost ten kilograms. I saw

(01:16:33):
a fantastic nutritionist who simply said eat thirty five grams
of protein for each meal. A six foot mail has
a requirement of nine hundred calories a day, roughly being
deficit of this and you will shed weight. Watch all
calories and weight losses inevitable, absolutely endorse it. A pie
has six fifty calories. If you eat wrong, you'll be wrong.

(01:16:56):
Shotguns that use spinning rods. Anyway, it's pretty random texts.
So someone wanted to know about ozempic, if you've experienced
that or no, someone's experience that. I don't think we
need probably all the other experts saying how they lose weight.

(01:17:17):
I'm sure if someone's asking about azempic, they've probably tried everything.
That would be my impression. It's a fairy, genuine text.

Speaker 20 (01:17:28):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Corn fretter day, by the way, today, I think the
Edmunds Cookbooks the best one for that. It's a good
thing of corn fritter. The world's first parking meter was
installed in Oklahoma City. Wasn't that long ago? Nineteen thirty five.
I don't know if anyone's got interesting stories about parking

(01:17:52):
meters the bane of most people's lives, although at least
you don't have to find the coins now, you just
do it. On payWave, although some of you would love
to do it with coins because you insist on cash.

(01:18:14):
You might want to mention that here till midnight fourteen
past ten, kind of surprised about that little bit spotted
ki where they found. You think they would have known
where they were ever know how many? I think they
said there's two thousand of them, and I thought they
were on the whole of the country. Anyway, that might
be something you want to mention. There's talk now about

(01:18:36):
the Erebus memorial was going to be at the Rose
Garden and Parnell, but the nimbiasts got up and steam
about that, which was disrespectful to the people that were
victims of that. But three possible sights in christ Church

(01:18:59):
have been shared with families. Avon Riverbank in the set City,
Craycroft Reserve in Kashmir and S James Church Grounds. And
he would now, I believe that the flight, and every

(01:19:35):
time the arab Us comes up, I've got to read.
I believe the flight went from Auckland to christ churched
to Antarctica, so christ Church was the last port it
left from. I will check that because I know that
that's important to people. So you might want to comment
on that as well. But certainly the crew change on

(01:19:59):
the way back was expected to be at christ Church.
Let me just look at that the flight left and returned.
He's in the same day. The plane left Auckland Airport
at eight am and was scheduled to arrive back at
christ Church at seven pm, So maybe it didn't fly

(01:20:19):
out of christ Church. So yes, that's important to know that.
So that might make it a slightly different kind of
a kettle of fish there, actually glearn I rechecked that.

(01:20:40):
So it says here the plane left Auckland National Airport
eight am for Antarctica and was it scheduled to arrive
back at christ Church Airport at seven pm and then
arrived back at christ Church OPPOSI for refueling and a
crew change. Now it says in the flight origin Allclandnational

(01:21:06):
air first stop over NonStop flight over chrost Wich, last
stop over christ Chach. So I didn't leave Christchurch, was
supposed to come back to christ Church. So yeah, I
wonder why the christ Church is relevant? Then I think
it should be in Auckland. Get in touch here till
twelve nineteen past ten Colinet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 29 (01:21:26):
Yes, Marcus the Erebus Memorial. People seem to forget that
there was quite an enormous memorial at wykam Metis Cemetery
in Auckland already.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
And I don't know that's a memorial. I think that
is a internment for unidentified body parts.

Speaker 6 (01:21:54):
Well it does.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
That's different from a memorial. That's the funeral site. I
think that's the barrier.

Speaker 29 (01:22:01):
Yeah, well, you're maybe right, Marcus, but I don't think
that the site that they have in Parnell, which is
liable to erosion, where they were going to put it
would be completely sequel. It's correct. I think that it
should be the Auckland War Memorial Museum. That would be
more apt and seen by overseas visitors, and so i'm

(01:22:22):
when they come to this country.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
Yes, I don't know about that. I don't know if
it's a tourist thing or something fairly for families can
go and have a quiet moment. I don't know if
it would be a confusion of the location and the
site of the warm maorial. I don't know about that.
I thought the Rose Garden was pretty.

Speaker 29 (01:22:41):
Good, yes, but it wasn't in the part which would
be suitable. I lived there many years in Parnell and
where they were going to put it was completely, in
my opinion anyway, not the right place.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
By the way, can I say I'm sick of rose gardens?
There's rose gardens? Surely you don't have rose gardens? I mean,
no one likes them much? Do they the kind of.

Speaker 25 (01:23:05):
Differently any horrible things?

Speaker 29 (01:23:10):
Well, they're better than a garden full of plastic flowers.
Like yeah, there's another point. Canomens in quickly, Marcus. I
can understand your English very well because your voice is
very well placed. But the majority of people these days,

(01:23:30):
because of the smartphone revolution, speak like a staccata gum,
no emphasis on different words and so on, and make
it very very difficulty with some of the callers to
call into you.

Speaker 6 (01:23:46):
It's not their fault, but.

Speaker 29 (01:23:50):
Which we have.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
You can't hear what they're saying.

Speaker 29 (01:23:53):
And I mean you speak very correctly, the voice is
placed in the right place. I studied England and in
England voice and so on at the Royal Academy, and
this is what's happening. Everyone is saving money on the
swap phone machine gun.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Yet I don't thank you Colin. Nice to hear from you.
What was the gut health website, so I didn't catch it.
Marcus Sharon Osborne lost. I thought that was fairly spooky
of someone to come up and try and spook their
own kind of yeah website on that when someone was

(01:24:39):
quite genuine with their question. People have made an absolute
fortune on diet quackery forever which hasn't worked. Now here
is a drug that's worked, and someone wants to ring
up and provide more kind of ways to take the

(01:25:07):
money off people with a weight problem. Marcus Sharon Osborne
lost nineteen kilograms in four months with the weight loss
drug and now can't put on weight. Yeah, I guess
you'd have to talk to the people that have lost
the weight with those mpic and see how happy they are.

(01:25:31):
Of course, a lot of peoplebody wouldn't admit to having
the drug because the way society is is people see
people as overweight, as been ill disciplined and lazy, and
if you lose a lot of weight, they would reward
that if you've done that through exercise and diet, but
if you've done it by a drug, they would probably

(01:25:51):
think that that is cheating. So you pure have strange
attitudes to weight loss. I would imagined anyway, but if
you have tried it and got some examples of it.
By the way, we had a very very, a very
good session on this show one time discussing people that
had gone to have stomach surgery stomach staples and it

(01:26:13):
was removing people. A lot of people have gone to
Mexico and they had a great success with that, and
people's lives would change very positively. It was like an absolute,
absolute life changer for them. They were much healthier. Obviously
the least what you've got to presume you are more healthy,
although you can't probably actually say that. You're in trouble

(01:26:34):
saying that, scrub that, but yeah, it was. It was
a very powerful show and I imagine with those in
people having similar results. But because it's something that's also
used by a lists and celebrities, there is a lot
of strange reporting around it and it seems to me

(01:26:56):
as exaggerated reporting of the side effects. Full disclosure, I
am not on with Goovi. Very nicely worded text here.
Hi Marcus. August. Last year I went on Sexedder same
manufacture as a ZEPI, slightly different formula but does the

(01:27:17):
same thing, but is actually approved for weight loss in
six months I lost forty kilograms and I've never felt better. Yes,
there are some pretty strong side effects, but the benefits
are so much better through the process. I was diagnosed
type two diabetic, but now all my blood tests, including diabetes,

(01:27:39):
are in the normal range. I received really good medical
advice on all the side effects before and during, including remedies.
The thyroid cancer issue is basically a non issue, as
it was only a slight increase on animal testing at
very high dosage. I would thoroughly recommend and have chairs move.

Speaker 8 (01:28:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
I'm not quite sure if there are cases when you
can get it paid for if you are very obese
or if you are so also are diabetics, so I
don't know the full details on that, so I don't
know fully who it. You know if it will cost
you that four to six hundred dollars a month seven
thousand dollars a year, although I imagine probably if you're

(01:28:23):
a person that was desperate to lose weight, you could
justify that costs because if you're a binge eater or
eating badly, probably because I think probably when they say
the articles I've read about as MPIC means that it
makes it incredible change in your brain and all the
craving goes, and you've got to learn to reshop again

(01:28:43):
because most foods that appeal to you just don't give
you the kick anymore. So it really is just vegetables
and things that have renutritious is what you crave. Your
whole soup market trolley changes. I think even they have
people go and consult to help them shop for new
food because they're so freaked out by what makes them sated. Anyway,

(01:29:05):
hold your horses, Jickie with you soon. The number is
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
two to text Marcus till twelve. Yeah, Marcus, thank you
Colin my thoughts exactly. It can be painful listening to
people talk these days. Anyway, Hendle twelve. If you want

(01:29:28):
to talk, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine to the text, good evening, Jackie, This
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 30 (01:29:35):
Oh hi Marcus. I just wanted to talk about ozempaic
because I was been living in Brisbane and I was
under a specialist and I have type two diabetes and
so I was on their EXEMPIP for about nine months
before I came back to New Zealand, and so I
didn't have I didn't lose weight because the exempiic you

(01:29:57):
can there's two different pens, that's what they use, and
so you can click and dial the amount that take.
And so I if I took the full amount, maybe
I would have lost lost weight. But I had the
lower dose, and so it only controlled my diabetes. I

(01:30:17):
didn't do anything else. But it didn't make me feel
when I try to turn it up. I did get sick,
you know, a sick like morning sickness, that sickness. Okay, yeah,
And it was for free. I didn't pay because I
had Medicare.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
And that was the purpose of the drug. What does
actually do I don't really understand diabetes, but what does
the zempic actually do?

Speaker 26 (01:30:42):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 30 (01:30:43):
It just controlled. It controls your pain creation and it
controls about what you eat need rent that's if you
take the big dose of it. So it's like five
miligrands of the nextim windows And I didn't have to
pay for it, but my doctor told me here that
it's five hundred dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
For if you're diabetic, you've still got to pay for
it here. Yes, it does, Yeah, that seems wrong, doesn't it.
What drug would you use instead of that?

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:31:16):
Well, I guess you just got to be good in
your eating. You've got to be good at you know,
you're nutrition, and you've got to do exercise and those
sorts of functions and that's what I do.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
And you don't have a weight problem.

Speaker 30 (01:31:30):
Well, I won't say that, but I.

Speaker 8 (01:31:34):
Don't know.

Speaker 30 (01:31:34):
I'm all right the doctor said it. I'm all right
because when you're type two diabetes, you have a blood test, yeah,
every three months and it tells the doctor what you
know your levels are?

Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
Sure?

Speaker 8 (01:31:45):
Am I not?

Speaker 13 (01:31:46):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:31:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
The reason I was asking that because just wondering if
in Australia you could actually get the government to pay
for it or Medicaid pay for it if you didn't
want to use it for weight loss. But you can't
answer that, can you.

Speaker 30 (01:31:56):
Well, it was a big thing over there about that,
and doctors will warned that, you know, they weren't allowed
to give it for for weight loss, but people seem
to get around there. And also you know it had
to be recorded at the chemist, so quite strict about you.
I had to have a leader to say that I

(01:32:18):
had type two diabetes. And that my doctor had written
the prescription for it, but I had to have a
leader from the specials saying that it was recommended for
me to do it. And then half the time that
I would it was very hard. They ran out of it, okay,
and so you know, it was hard to see.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
There's been a huge demands for it. Yes, yeah, did
you give up on the coast, Jackie.

Speaker 30 (01:32:47):
I came back because I got problems with my eyes
and so I can't drive. So yeah, but my children
are all over there and it's just going for his
books now, that's all. And I mean my face. The
medication for day dedes in Australia, we can't have it here.

(01:33:09):
I've been to auspicious because we doesn't you know, have
enough money to pay for the sort of medicine that
you have in Australia to control your diabetes as well.
The version of the here.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Appreciate you called Jackie. Thank you so much for kind
for you to ring Petty. It's Marcus Hello, Hello, this
is me Mac is high Petty welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:33:35):
Hi.

Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
Look, just to clarify trulicity trudicity. There's a drug called turuicity,
but there's a little bit basic. The same. Now that
one is for diabetes and heart Okay, now that is funded.
If you are a diabetic that takes the sugar out
of your panklet anchreous, that's the new drug. No, the

(01:33:57):
osen peg is not funded for anyone in New Zealand
because it's a simply weight roth injection.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Sure, but it was. But it's original its original purpose
was for diabetes. That's what it was developed for, wasn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:34:14):
No, that's Trullicity. That's been an all that's been in
New Zealand for about a year and a half. That
is the one for diabetes, trueicity. I think that's the
same sort of thing because I've.

Speaker 26 (01:34:26):
Been on it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Yeah, I do think. I do think his zempic was
originally developed though for type two diabetes.

Speaker 14 (01:34:35):
Well later that they're not funded. Nobody's funded on it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
No, but that's what it's and then it just serendipitously
happened to work for weight loss as well. That's the
way it kind of happened, which is a worry because
then the people that need it won't get it because
all the people that want the Hollywood actors are using it.
But anyway, I appreciate you coming through Dave Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:34:58):
Welcome, Yeah Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:35:01):
Firstly, your GP must you must qualify to be prescribed it.
I was when I was injured. I packed on a
lot of weight type two diabetes, which I managed to
turn around. My GP didn't prescribe it to me because
I qualified for that and I could not justify spending
over five hundred dollars a month. It is not funded

(01:35:25):
by the government, so they put me on. I went
on Durhamine thirty milligram capsule per day. It's a hung
up appetites appressant. Now I took that well, not every day.
I didn't think it was, but I turned my diabetes around.
I lost a lot of weight through swimming and through
walking and watching what I eat sparcely carbohydrates and sugars.

(01:35:51):
But my crust on my call is that one your
GP must prescribe it in this country. I don't know
how to do it in America or these you know,
high celebrities. I don't know how they get away with it.
But in New Zealand it must be prescribed and you
must qualify to in the category. And it generally goes

(01:36:16):
hand in hand with diabetes, and with him you need
to lose a bit of weight, which goes hand in
hand with type two diabetes because you do pack on
the beef and you're susceptible to heart attack, et cetera.
So that's what I want to say. And about this
business with this Department of the Conservation and handling of

(01:36:38):
the Kiwi in Fjordland surprises me.

Speaker 8 (01:36:41):
How they handle the kiwi.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
Marcus, Yeah, I was just thought the same too. I
wouldn't be handing the birds. I don't think docs should
be doing that and it wasn't qut your Fjordham. I'll
check on that. But nice to hear you, David. Thank
you for your story of puzz, a story of tenure,
health around health. Gordon, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 31 (01:36:58):
Yeah, Marcus Gordon here, Hi Gordon, listen. I think you
guys have got it wrong where that paint for the
Erebus press.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
Sure.

Speaker 31 (01:37:09):
I'll explain myself to you the best I can.

Speaker 10 (01:37:12):
I'm eighty eight.

Speaker 31 (01:37:13):
So I worked for air News General.

Speaker 7 (01:37:15):
As a loader.

Speaker 31 (01:37:18):
We loaded that airplane at Auckland Airport and because it
wasn't a full plane, we put containers on board and
they flew to christ Church. Noted the containers on and
took more passengers on. We stayed, I stayed back, or
just stayed back, received that plane when it came back,

(01:37:40):
but it didn't come back.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
Yeah, I am. I am always unsure of it, because it's.

Speaker 7 (01:37:53):
Why I can state that's a fact, and I'd put
it in writing because I was working at the airport
as a load, as I told you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
But remember there was more than one Arabas flight, wasn't there,
And all the flights came back through. All the flights
came back through christ.

Speaker 31 (01:38:10):
Church, not the persons off there, and they came back
to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
Yeah, I'm seeing a diagram now of the of the
of the route and it does seem to go Auckland
to McMurdo then back up to christ Church. It flies
directly down directly to the Yes, yes, no.

Speaker 7 (01:38:32):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 31 (01:38:37):
I could swear on that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:39):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm hearing. I'm
hearing you as well too, so I respect what you're saying.
All I can look is what I can look on
the internet.

Speaker 7 (01:38:46):
So yeah, and I just saw I'd tell you that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
But but but but I know, Gordon, the flight certainly
was expected to come back to christ Church and change the.

Speaker 31 (01:38:57):
Crew, yes, and change take containers on to bring them
back to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
Yeah, but but I do. I do think it flew
to wrecked from Auckland to Antarctica and obviously didn't come back.
That's why I think.

Speaker 14 (01:39:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
But and Dan, that's your research as well, isn't it
It crashed? I take did I take four hours? Okay,
he's only been an eleven hour trip, wasn't it. But look,
that's that's pretty much the information I've got. So that's

(01:39:34):
why I think it's probably not and the only reason
I'm saying that's important about where it goes. Yeah, shortly
after eight thirty in the morning in his en flight
T E nine oh one left marng at the airports
from this in History website for it's eleven hour return
flight to Antarctica. The DC team was scheduled driver Antarctical

(01:39:58):
between twelve and one pm and flyer out and from
around noon it was ongoing contact with the MAC center.
But yeah, that does seem to be case. It flew
directly down. But look, obviously there is confusion about that
because it was coming back through christ Church. But I
think in that case, certainly that it seems to me

(01:40:21):
it's appropriate that the memorial needs to be in Auckland
because that's where it departed. Yes, so I am almost
certain that the flight went from Auckland to Antarctica direct
and came back up for christ Church because it was
the because it was the because of crewing schedules, they
had to change crew, because time and their unions, those

(01:40:48):
sorts of things, the proper things. But I certainly think
that the memorials should not be in christ Church. They're
trying to hang it on christ Church for saying they've
got a strong connection with Antarctica, but that's because of

(01:41:08):
the Americans in Operation Deep Freeze. And you couldn't say
that the explorers are left from there because I think
they they left from Dunedin in the end, and they
scott those ones. Marcus. I am on Sexender for weight loss,
and the main thing it does is take away the
food noise, so you stop thinking about what you're going

(01:41:30):
to eat all the time. It also slows down to
digestion and you feel full for much longer. I've lost
over fifteen kilograms on it. Six Cenda can be funded
if you are Type two diabetic or on the cusp
of being type two. I was neither, So I pay
four to eighty a month. I am going to try
with gov next as it's an injection once a week

(01:41:53):
instead of Sexender, which is injected every day. It's from
Maria and Move, who's sent in that very good text
about sexender has texted. He says move again. Yet it
does seem expect but you are correct. It's offset by
eating a lot less. So there's we GOVI, and there's

(01:42:17):
a zembic, and there's sex Center. Yeah I did. I
was cautious of that person that said that that it
wasn't for diabetes. IK. It very much was invented for diabetes.

(01:42:37):
It's a peptide for glycemic control and adults with type
two diabetes. Then to reduce the risk of major adverse
cardio vascular events and adults with type two diabetes and
cardio escular disease. So that's what we are talking about tonight.

(01:43:01):
Number plates. Good topic. The military always gets a bit
get you with some of the I'm doing my own
research type people go They're still out there, aren't they.
I listened to the Russian propaganda bots, those same ant
dig you sinto ones. They're still out there anyway, and

(01:43:24):
then we've moved on to a zempic and where the
erebus memorials should be. I kind of feel too, Christich
has got enough, has got tragic memorials, hasn't it for
the quake? And I guess there's one for the mosque shooting.
By the way, I think the quake memorial is a
beautiful memorial that bend in the river with that white marble.

(01:43:46):
I think that was rare well executed. Morris, it's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome, Yes, hi, thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
I think I can shed some more light on the
memorial for you. Firstly, I think it's important to tell
you that actually I worked for in New Zealand at
this particular time when the flight never arrived, I was
on duty that evening, so I think well qualified to
make some comment about the memorial. First of all, christ

(01:44:17):
Church should have it a because the Antarctic Center is
there is the only one in the country, so there's
no reason to pace for the memorial and Auckland for
that reason alone. And I also like to point out
the reason that leaves that flight left from Auckland was
because the bigger population of people that wanted to leave
from the North Island, but that flight was destined. Its

(01:44:41):
destination when it left Auckland was christ Church, not Antarctica.
The reason for that, the reason for destination of christ
Church was because I had to make a landing for
fuel that could not go to Auckland. To Auckland and

(01:45:03):
making some sense here for your Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
Yes, yes, I know all this. Yeah, so yeah, I
mean the point about the Antarctic Center, to me, that's
an irrelevance. I know that Deep Freeze, the Operation Deep
Freeze was there, and there is a tourist Antarctic center
theirs also, But to me, that doesn't. To me, the
most important thing is that people went to see their
families off from Auckland, and that's where the plane left from.

(01:45:27):
So that's yeah, that's that's where it stacks up for me,
And that was the original choice of where the memorial
should have been. I think it would be a compromise
to put it in christ Church.

Speaker 7 (01:45:38):
Well. Also, just bear in mind this much, because I
appreciate your point, But bear in mind also that chlist
Church went through an awful lot of trauma. I know
the people in Auckland did too.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Yeah, fair enough, that there.

Speaker 7 (01:45:52):
Were people and families. There were people not just from Auckland,
they were from all over New Zealand. There were passengers
on that plane that we're getting off in Chlist Church.
People went from Chlist Church to that would.

Speaker 2 (01:46:05):
Take the Auckland yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:46:08):
To take the flight. And I was working that night
and the trauler which was felt in the terminal that
evening when we knew that flight was overdue, and we
were staff members of a New zeal It was a terrible,
terrible night. And the sad thing about it was that
we had to look after so many people who come

(01:46:30):
to the airport to pick up brothers. There some friends
who never made that destination. Bear in mind also, I'll
remind you the flight was destined to christ Church. The
flight was destined to christ Church. When it left Auckland,
it would not touch down anywhere else until it reached
its destination. Therefore, I maintain that I think christ Church

(01:46:54):
is more suited for it Auckland apart. Not so many
people from Auckland got on that flight. They could have
come from Hamilton, New Plymouth anywhere who booked to go
on that flight. It's just that uten was a departure
point price, which was the destination?

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
I guess probably, Well, I guess probably, and there be
less and less of those people around. I don't know
who you'd include. I would imagine that the memorial is
a place for family members and staff of venusident to
go and remember colleagues that had died in that crash.

(01:47:37):
And I guess probably you'd have to ask the people
involved where they would most likely go to pay their respects,
what would work better for them? And I don't know
what the answer would be.

Speaker 7 (01:47:49):
Well, how can give the answer from my own personal point? Yes,
because I was involved and I knew people personally, I
knew crew on that flight. Now, a lot of the
people that I worked with, and I'm eighty five now
and a lot of people colleagues have since pass. I'm sorry,

(01:48:12):
I'm choking up a bit over this. Getting back to
the Antarctic center. Everything to do with the destination of
that flight is centered around deep freeze, and the Antarctic
often has nothing whatsoever, no bearing on those at all whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
If you look at the three places that are suggested,
have you seen the three options in christ Chicks that
are mentioned? To be honest with you, no, I haven't okay,
I could tell I could tell you what. I can
tell you what they are. There's the Avon Riverbank in
the central city. Of course, there's always there's already a
memorial there for the for the earthquake, isn't there which

(01:48:58):
was worked quite well. There's craig Craft, Craycroft Reserve and Keshmere.

Speaker 7 (01:49:05):
That's right, Yes, did you do you know that?

Speaker 12 (01:49:09):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:49:10):
You have rewinded me now of that.

Speaker 10 (01:49:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:49:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:12):
But what's that like?

Speaker 7 (01:49:13):
I can't quite understand. I can't quite understand that that's
right up underneath the hills.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
That seems strange, doesn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:49:22):
I know you'd be you'd be fairly aware of christ
Church reports. I'm sure you weren't. In the Antarctic Center now,
there's some beautiful pieces of land there. Even if it
was built on the front lawn of the Antarctic Center,
there's more people would pass through that pass through that
area going to and fro and it would always be

(01:49:44):
in remembrance every day every day. It would be a
beautiful place for us.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
And the third place is Saint James Church Ground in here, well,
there's no mention of the Antarctic. There are three sites
that they are looking at well, I don't like an Yeah, yeah,
well I think they're a bit ordinary. But I don't know.
I don't know what the reserve. I don't know Acroft Reserve.
Keshmir has a view or quite what that's like. But

(01:50:12):
it seems it seems to me it's becoming so complicated
and so convoluted that I wouldn't be surprised if they
end up. You know, how long has it been. It's
been eleven thirty six twenty one. It's been forty six years,
hasn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:50:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, well, with the mind would
be interested other people.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
Yeah, no, And I appreciate you. I appreciate you're considered
them put too, Morris. Look, and you know, I do,
you know, I do give credit to what you've got
to say. I'm just looking where that reserve is too now,
by the way, but thank you for that. It's fourteen
past eleven. Laureate's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:50:53):
Yeahhid Marcus, Yeah, yeah. I was more inclined to support
what that chap said there about it being christ Church,
and certainly also somewhere you're adjacent to the Antarctic Center,
which is I'm thinking that that's pretty much just where
the recovery operation was launched from, and all the bodies

(01:51:16):
would have come back to there in the first instance.

Speaker 7 (01:51:20):
It's just.

Speaker 25 (01:51:22):
The It was my thinking on that and the fact
that christ it's not just the Antarctic Center, but the museum,
the university, there's all sorts of Antarctic focused institutions in
christ Church. It would be I could see it'd been
more appreciated there, perhaps cared about. Obviously, it's what's happened

(01:51:48):
in Auckland, was it's being rejected?

Speaker 2 (01:51:50):
Well, yeah, and I can't I just can't work I mean,
to me, that seems so cruel to the families and
also to the staff members of the New Zealand, the
majority of which now you know like it or not.
I mean, the majority of which are now focused in Auckland,
aren't they. So that's I can't work out. I can't
work out the cruelty of those people that have posed it.

Speaker 25 (01:52:09):
Yeah, the long term bickering about it, and the fact
that they there was no real empathy, it seemed well
none of that.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
It was pretty well none of their business. I mean,
it was a big park. They've got that, you know,
there's a there's a ton of room at the Rose.
It's a big reserve and and it just seemed to
be classic, not in my backyardism.

Speaker 7 (01:52:32):
Yeah, yeah, I I.

Speaker 25 (01:52:33):
Didn't have any connection with anyone that was really on
the actual flight as such. I knew I know quite
a few of the guys that were involved in the rescue,
but but just the whole feeling in christ which I'm
pretty certain it would be. It would be a welcome
thing there. I mean, as you say, craig Croft Reserve.
I haven't done any research on that, but I would

(01:52:54):
have thought, you know, somewhere in It's kind of hard.

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
To find on Google Maps for me. I'm just trying
to have another look.

Speaker 9 (01:53:01):
Where it is.

Speaker 7 (01:53:02):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 25 (01:53:05):
There was a really prominent name around to Cashmere, the
hills are. I think they owned a lot of land,
the craek Off Wilson.

Speaker 2 (01:53:14):
Maybe it's quite as it's bounded by hacking Thorn Road
and Dyer's Pass Road. It's sort of a in a
lipse of land that's in there. And yeah, I don't
know what it looks like. It might have a viewing
tower or.

Speaker 25 (01:53:30):
Something, but maybe it's probably a view to the south perhaps, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that might be it. It might be
a view to the south.

Speaker 6 (01:53:39):
Actually yeah, anyway, I'll.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
Get on Google Maps and never look. Laurie, thank you
for that seventeen past seven your thoughts to text those Marcaus.
I have a personal number plate. Someone in Christis also
has the same plate apart from one digit. I'm in
the white cat though, but was getting parking tickets for
their car. I had ten tickets within two weeks. I
had to provide registration photos and license to prove myself
my car is white whilst the other car was blue.

(01:54:04):
I think they need to cheek before handing out why
slaze plates making sure they aren't to the same Yeah,
thanks Nicky, I appreciate what you've said. Went on Sexender
for twelve months and a zempic lost nearly twenty kilograms,
cost one thousand a month. Put wait back on within
twelve months. No side effects except for empty wallet. Monicoma

(01:54:29):
Memorial Gardens would be a perfect place for the memorial
close to the airport, in a place of remembrance. Ross
get in touch, Welcome hitdled twelve A zempick w GOVI Sexender. Hello, John,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:54:49):
Yeah, how are you Marcus? Good? Thanks John, I've been
down at the ice A three eighty eighty two eighty
three summer season and backed down at eighty six and
nineteen eighty six we flew up to the crash site
on the slope to the Vera this and we were
going to be putting a new stainless steel memorial cross

(01:55:12):
up there.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
There was a cross.

Speaker 4 (01:55:14):
Yeah, okay, yep, yeah, that the wooden one was got
shattered by the winds and the rocks and the snow
flying around in the winter. And as we came round
in the shop and you know it's there, but it's
sort of it was a pretty heavy high sight. You know,

(01:55:35):
we're the Holy Howl.

Speaker 7 (01:55:37):
This is where it is.

Speaker 4 (01:55:38):
But we couldn't land because it was too windy, so
we just dropped across and went. But in eighty five
eighty two I flew down on a key we herk Marcus,
and then I came back on an American Navy cargo ship,
which was really good.

Speaker 2 (01:55:57):
Well yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (01:56:00):
Eighty three when we're over at Mactown on the deck
of this cargo ship, and you could always I could
see Arabs out of my bedroom window except but that
was the only time markers and it is a completely
trick of light. I used to be a skin instructor,

(01:56:22):
and I know what being involved and white outs, but
what they were, Judge marn it's a one hundred percent
trick of light because there's about six of us lined
up along the deck and the handrail, and you would
swear it was flat for the next fifty kas.

Speaker 7 (01:56:44):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:56:44):
And unless you've seen it yourself, it's such a difficult
phenomena to try and explain.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
And what is that phenomena?

Speaker 7 (01:56:54):
John?

Speaker 4 (01:56:55):
Well, they call it sort of a wake out?

Speaker 9 (01:56:58):
Yeah, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
And so Mount Erebus itself looked flat?

Speaker 13 (01:57:03):
Did it?

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (01:57:05):
Direct the whole range flat?

Speaker 5 (01:57:08):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:57:09):
So if you were a fly pilot, you'd be flying
in what you think is clean clear ere Yeah, and
everything stead flat.

Speaker 2 (01:57:21):
Well, okay, you know that was not long after it
was that you were there quite soon after it.

Speaker 4 (01:57:27):
Yeah, eighty sex we flew up there, yep.

Speaker 2 (01:57:30):
Well did you have the huskies?

Speaker 4 (01:57:33):
Oh, in eighty two eighty three when I was down there, Yeah,
the huskies were still out there.

Speaker 2 (01:57:38):
Did you have a did you have a go on them?
Did you go on a husky trip?

Speaker 7 (01:57:42):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:57:43):
Not, we had a few rides with Doggo as he
was called.

Speaker 7 (01:57:47):
Yeah, okay, yep.

Speaker 4 (01:57:49):
And yeah that you could see them from the ris accommodation.
That catching very easily. So that's pretty amazing creatures.

Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
And because they just sort of lived at a pile
of snow, didn't they.

Speaker 4 (01:58:01):
Well, just on top of the snow.

Speaker 9 (01:58:03):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:58:06):
And one of their they were always trying to catch skrewers,
you know, birds. Yeah, and they they didn't have a
hell of a lot of chain from the central wire
and they would lie there and lie there and try
and out smart the skrewers. It was. It was quite
interesting to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:58:27):
Yeah, the dog handlers I've spoken to that have been
down there, boy boy, they loved them. They just loved
those dogs and what they would do. They seem to
be really passionate about them.

Speaker 4 (01:58:35):
Oh they were yep. Absolutely, And well you'd needed that
passion to go down there and do it, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would. Yeah, it seems I mean
it does seem crazy. Now, what up till the eighties
they had dogs there for transport? Did you did you
have other vehicles with caterpillars as well? To get around?

Speaker 4 (01:58:54):
There were snow tracks, okay, which would v dubbed snow tracks. Yep,
there was. When I went back down in eighty six,
they had the haggling there by then.

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
Is sure okay?

Speaker 4 (01:59:10):
Yeah? And there was a variety of different vehicles, etc.

Speaker 2 (01:59:16):
Really nice to talk John, Thanks so much for coming through.
I've enjoyed that. Mari, it's Marcus Greetings, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:59:22):
Hello him, Mari.

Speaker 32 (01:59:25):
Hi, Look, I'm just going to talk to you about
that diabetic drug that you're injected once a week. It's
not a zen Pics, it's in the same group. Though
I took that drug. I had two lots of it.
The first one I had, I wasn't I was fine.
I was a little bit nauseous, and I said, oh, okay,
that's that's fine. I can cope with that. The second one, oh,

(01:59:49):
I sort of paralyzed my stomach. I couldn't eat. I
wouldn't drive. I was too scared to drive. My partner
took me to a supermarket and I went part ways
around with him and I said, I've got to sit
down now. And after the week was I over. I
came right again. I came back to normal. But I

(02:00:10):
wouldn't I would advised anyone to be very very careful
with that stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:00:15):
Was it for weight loss or was it for weight
loss or diabetes?

Speaker 32 (02:00:18):
It was for diabetes. It was the diabetic form of it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
Sex end, it's the same.

Speaker 32 (02:00:27):
It's the same group I talked this about. It must
be about six or eight months ago that I tried
it okay, and it was not a good scene. I'm
actually now on a long term insulin which you take
once a day, and I've found out to be much
much better for my type two diabetics problem.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
Nice, thank you for that good evening, Harley, it's Marcus.
Welcome and Marcus.

Speaker 28 (02:00:53):
Yeah, the memorial, there's two sides on the way out
to the airport there they spot the planes from there,
and there's one up on the hill that overlooks at
the airport. You know, I think that would be a
mighty place for that memorial.

Speaker 2 (02:01:09):
That's to the east where that's to the east of
the airport, that view where there is that viewing area,
but near the grave there's a graveyard the city cemetery
there too, isn't there.

Speaker 28 (02:01:18):
It's quite a way from there.

Speaker 10 (02:01:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (02:01:21):
But another thing, the ones that complained about the ones
that the Rose games, I think it was a local
tribe because they wanted to clear the food kawa and
they wouldn't allow out. I think that's what the story was.

Speaker 2 (02:01:35):
Yeah, I kind of thought they'd kind of engage the
engage with them to fight their best. It always seemed
it seems sketchy to me, But yeah, I couldn't. I
couldn't see the local EWE wanting to prevent people have
a quiet place where they could go and respect, respect
people that have died. It didn't didn't seem to ring true.

(02:01:57):
It seemed like a callous decision to me. It didn't
seem to ring true.

Speaker 28 (02:02:00):
It did it It's quite sad actrue. But yeah, well
that's why I don't anyway, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (02:02:07):
So there's a part we're seeing it look out. That's
on Pernui Road, isn't it across the water.

Speaker 28 (02:02:13):
Yeah, there's two, one on the left hand side and
one on the right hand side.

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
Where's the right hand side one?

Speaker 28 (02:02:21):
Well, yeah, you can only get onto that one if
you're coming from the airport. It's one on the way
to the airport on the left and coming back. The
other ones on the left and it's up a num
bit of her eyes. But yeah, I think it would
be ideal there.

Speaker 2 (02:02:34):
Yeah, okay, not nice to hear from your Harley. Thank
you for that. Good evening, Anna, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (02:02:40):
Oh hi, I just wanted to say that there's a
memorial for the erabus, the cabin crew and flight deck
crew at Eden Gardens.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
Oh yeah, m hm. Now Eden Gardens that's that old
quarry or at Mount Eden, right, yeah, which is prior owned.
Is it all run by a trust?

Speaker 4 (02:03:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (02:03:10):
It is actually privately own, so they take a lot
of ashes there you can carry.

Speaker 24 (02:03:15):
Okay, yeah, this.

Speaker 33 (02:03:18):
Was and I've seen it.

Speaker 19 (02:03:20):
I've been here and I can't.

Speaker 24 (02:03:21):
Remember what it's like, but it's almost like a wall.

Speaker 7 (02:03:26):
Just remembering those crew.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
I've kind of been to. Funny enough, you know, you
say that I've been to Eden Gardens as a child, right,
and remember it for re Fondy and Rent not so
long ago as an adult, well not so long ago,
in the last ten years, and it gave me the
heb It gave me the hebgb's. And it's only now

(02:03:49):
that you've mentioned that ashes have been scattered there and
stuff like that that that makes more sense to me,
because it felt like that.

Speaker 19 (02:03:57):
Yeah, it's definitely a memorial gardens.

Speaker 2 (02:03:59):
Yeah, okay, and I never thought of that because I
guess that's probably a revenue stream for them as well.
It's it's full of sort of rhododendrons and stuff as
and yeah, okay, that makes sense. Okaye, appreciate thanks this
good information, and I thank you. Hello, Liz, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 33 (02:04:18):
I'm just going to say something that probably it's pretty radical, but.

Speaker 26 (02:04:25):
My husband was in New.

Speaker 33 (02:04:26):
Zealand at the time and we had relations to.

Speaker 9 (02:04:32):
Last parents.

Speaker 33 (02:04:33):
So as far as I'm concerned, forget about it.

Speaker 25 (02:04:36):
It's too late.

Speaker 33 (02:04:39):
It's if it can't be done in that short time.
I mean, they put on a thing over the tragedy
of the earthquake straight away.

Speaker 2 (02:04:47):
But forty years it's crazy.

Speaker 33 (02:04:51):
It's for themselves. As far as I'm concerned, it's sadly
worth reaching it up anymore because people are boot past it,
fighting over it. And I mean, as someone who had
a husband then went through it and family members, I

(02:05:13):
think the way it's been done is very hurtful.

Speaker 2 (02:05:16):
Yeah, I think it's hurtful. I think it seems callous.
It seems beyond incompetent. It seems there was a callousness
about about the way they went against that memorial. It
seems totally.

Speaker 33 (02:05:27):
It's not worth having a memorial with all retriction and fighting, and.

Speaker 2 (02:05:32):
Well it means, it means once you get a memorial,
finally it's got bad vibes with it because it was
such a fight to get it, so it becomes a
place of anxiety. And yeah, yeah, I entirely agree with you, Liz.

Speaker 33 (02:05:47):
At that date finished on West, it's like, well, my
husband's deared for sight. So no, I'm just saying the
ones who works.

Speaker 2 (02:05:59):
Too late, too little, too late. Yeah, agreed, Liz, thank you.

Speaker 6 (02:06:02):
That's it for me.

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
Terms along next people. I'll catch you again tomorrow night.
I'm pleased with my revelation about Eaton gardens. Yeah, I
did feel a bit of a bad vibe there. I'll
talk to you tomorrow from eight pm, hopefully not midnight, goodnight.
