otago twenty five, nineteen forty three minutes gone surprised there
still Rugby. I thought it was over over eight past
eight past eight head till twelve breathe hob like the

(01:15):
all Blacks breathe just gonna calm it all down. I
don't know what the weather's be like around the country,
but flip and the heck, it's been sensational down on
the bluff. Windy, but man, it's about twenty five degrees.
Who wants to come out of their houses after the
winter hibernation. It's remarkable people skipping around countdown and peck

(01:40):
and save. We don't call it peck count anymore. So
there's going to be breaking news tonight. The Nobel Prize
for Peace will be award at ten thirty. Now Trump
is desperate to win it, desperate, although he doesn't realize.
Trump doesn't realize the more things he gets, the less

(02:02):
happy he is. However, he is desperate for the Peace Prize,
So that will be at ten thirty. There is a
school of thought that they're not likely at all to
give them the Nobel Prize. However, they might give it
to him otherwise he will put bad sanctions, So we'll

(02:24):
see how that pans out. What country is it the
Nobel Prize? Is it Sweden or is it Norway? Which
is Sweden? Right Swedish committee. Oh, hang on four prizes
decided by a Swedish committee. Whither a sip of the

(02:45):
Peace Prize that decided by a Norwegian committee. That's a
bit tricky, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Is that because I don't know?

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Why?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Is that because they want to have That's quite interesting? Yeah?
The Nobel Peace Prize, So the gard invented gunpowder was
a Swede, but the Norwegians choose who wins it? Wow?
What's that about? So it's Norway. It's a Sweden prize,

(03:19):
but Norway decides and you get presented by the King
of Norway and the Norwegian royal family on the tenth
semberich of the anniversary of Nobel's death. It's the only
peace prize not presented in Stockholm. You get one million
US dollars chump change for old Donnie in it. There

(03:46):
you go. I'm glad I've learned that they put that
in the quest Dan not not. The question is it's like,
where where is the Nobel Prize presented for peace? The
only one in Norway? So there's that tonight. That's not
the major topic. But I think the top runners for
the Peace Prize as Alinky I think I've got his

(04:08):
name wrong. There, Zelenski. That's what the bookies have got,
deserves it just for going having that meeting. So here
are the five contenders, just so I can keep you
across it, because it'll be happening at ten thirty, Dan,

(04:28):
can we go live?

Speaker 7 (04:33):
Who is it?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Who's broadcast is it?

Speaker 7 (04:40):
You know?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Get some of the get some of the bosses out
of bed. Let's even go big on this now anyway
I will grow grabum, we'll ride rough shot over YouTube
or something. So yeah, I can tell you. Yeah, I'm
going to tell you who the front runners are, and
I can see who's choosing it. But I'm going to try.

(05:00):
I'm going to try and work who the front runners are. Anyway,
According to he's like Ladbrooks and odd makers, Trump and
the Sudanese Group are favorites. Sudany's emergency response from a
volunteer group having civilians in the war torn country, and
Yulia Alvanni are the wife of Russian oppsition politician Alexei Nalvarani,

(05:23):
who died last year in Russian prisoner sent as potential contenders.
We're not mentioned Zelenski anyway, There we go that's what's happening.
So that happens at half past ten tonight, we all
go live to it. We'll do that. So if you
want to talk about the Peace Prize, you are more
than welcome. If you want to text about anything, you

(05:43):
are more than welcome. It is the Friday free for all,
So it's loose tonight. It's loose like a goose. That's
how we like it on a Friday. As you're winding
down from a week power outage, taka NINNI help on it.
Nothing on the victim ap it will come up soon
and if you haven't paid your bill, but we will

(06:04):
get that going, so we'll work out what's happening with that.
We'll let you know, because I know it's tough when
you just got your training and you can't get on
the internet to see what's happening. I don't know, in fact,
why the power companies aren't actually reaching out to us
like that marvelous guy from NDTA. As will the updates.

(06:25):
So there's that thirteen past dight. Now serious topics, right,
because this is talking that's for teasing till ten thirty.
But what I want to talk to you about now
is his something parking meters? Would I be alone voice

(06:51):
in this? If I said that most people would prefer
the old way with parking meters that took coins, Would
you prefer those? Are you quite happy with a new
founded Putting your red Joe number swipe clip for longer

(07:13):
always seem sketchy, At least with the old coins you
knew you'd paid and they never broke down the new one.
You walk away from there thinking, well, hang on, do
I want a receipt? Well, I'm not quite sure if
it's taken my money, so probably I would, And then
you're there for another five minutes. I don't like it.
In my car, I like a ashtray full of coins, and

(07:37):
I ride those parking meters like poking machines. Put the
money in trust the thing love that. Why would they
got rid of those?

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Or?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Am I alone voice in this? Has anyone else got
problems with a new parking meets? Always confusing and there's
always people that are not young, standing around looking lost
as they try and work out how to work them.
By the way, which towns still have old school parking meters?
I saw some not too long ago, can't remember where
it was. That's the beginning top for tonight. Parking meters,

(08:08):
not parking water. I don't think we have pack ice.
We do, but not the pill that clicked the money.
So what are you feeling about that? Would you like
it the way it was? Because there must be terrible
with people that haven't got cell phones or credit cards?
What do they do? Get the bus? They wouldn't be
able to parks. I'd already given up years ago. But

(08:36):
no Rugby on free TV again tonight, Good night. China
invented gunpowder, Noble invented dynamite. Exactly's be hearing from your people?
Hittled twelve coins or high faluting flesh parking meters that

(08:57):
you wave your phone out? What do you prefer?

Speaker 7 (09:00):
I think?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I said one thing that worked well with the coin.
I think people enjoyed that. Put the coin in brilliant,
that's satisfying. As you turn that handle, would you call
it a handle? And then the flag came. I loved that.
Then beautiful things. I don't know where they still are
in this country. Someone will tell me. I'm sure tonight.

(09:22):
I feel that it's going to be a thing tonight
with people telling me about parking meters. Yeah, I did
a story once with a woman that worked on as
a meter a warden boy. They got it tough. There
was there was one woman and she walked past the
building site and people threw a watermelon at her cheap
as if you said the price sometimes of watermelons. Yeah,

(09:52):
but what do you reckon when you much prefer the
old ones or the new ones. Most people are chugging
a variety of texts. I'd like your calls. I'd like
a bit of outrage. I'd always like to drum a
bit of an outrage. So I couldn't outrage about the
hot wheel show, although it did look disible. The more
I think about that, the more disimal I think it locks.

(10:16):
But yeah, we're you with parking meters. Have I got
any interesting parking meter stories? I've told you about the
woman that had the watermelon throwing it? Don't think there's
anything else that I can think of it that it's
interesting about parking meters. No, but I'm sure you have
something interesting. Do come through. There's something il you want

(10:38):
to talk about tonight? I can tell you some stuff
about parking meters. Want to some stuff about parking meters?
Oklahoma City where the guy bombed the building with horsemen
with manure. That was the world's first parking meter nineteen
twenty eight and parts of Korea the parking meters are human.

(11:03):
It's people humans on plastic sea that you pay your
money to.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Australia's first parking meter in Tasmania. Wow. There's one town
in California with just one parking meter. Each year it
clicks one hundred dollars in revenue and they spend that
money on fireworks. The town is called Winters. Oh twenty

(11:37):
one past eight. Jason, this is Marcus. Welcome, Hey, Marcus, Hi, Jason.

Speaker 10 (11:44):
What's heaven?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
I'm at work and you've run are runked.

Speaker 10 (11:50):
The super market prices?

Speaker 11 (11:52):
Are we all being sucked in?

Speaker 10 (11:53):
Is it just a vote? Is it just a voting thing?
You know?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Hang on? Hang on? How do you mean? Is it
just a vote? Let's let's pick this apart. Are we
all being sucked in? Well? To Duopoli?

Speaker 10 (12:05):
All right, let's get okay, it's a duopoly, one of
the one of the drop LEAs, one of the one
of the changes that food suss the New Zealand known chain,
and we're talking about bringing in another chain and give
them a tax break.

Speaker 12 (12:19):
So that the New Zealand chain.

Speaker 10 (12:20):
Does not pay full taxes or will lose some turnover.
And then we get another change who's not going to
pay full taxes, so we're going to have less text.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What's just about they're not paying tax.

Speaker 10 (12:33):
Well, the new chain they're trying to bring in, they're
going to give them a tax bask they.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Give them a text break. I just thought they're trying
to smooth out the consent process.

Speaker 10 (12:43):
None of them a tax break, you know for a
non New Zealand company competing with a New Zealand company,
is it not? It seems very communists, you know, Like
everyone's talking about the Commos Commission Commos Commission survey which
came back to the New Zealand supermarkets to making five
percent five cents in every dollar, Like it's not huge.

(13:05):
It's I think it's huge, But five cents every dollar
is not huge? What about ninety five cents in the dollar?
Why are we going after that? No one's talking about
the supply cost or the GST or the text or
everything else that these guys.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Have to do.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
So what do you want to happen?

Speaker 10 (13:21):
Well, I think you're if the research and does not
jump on what the media says. The media says that
the supermarkets are the bet well.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hang on, I wouldn't. I wouldn't just jump on what
the supermarket says about their profits. I'm sure they've got
all sorts of ways to obfuscate and hide how much
money they are making. If you look at the rich
list that come down every year, a large number of
the people are on that are people that are in supermarkets.
They are making a fortune.

Speaker 10 (13:45):
Yeah, most of them started at the bottom.

Speaker 11 (13:47):
Is that not what we want ki Wei to service?

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Like, well, we don't want to work a tall well,
I don't think. I don't think you say we're a
tall poppy country when we play more for our groceries
than most other countries.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Think.

Speaker 10 (14:00):
I think you're listening to the wrong facts effect.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Much do you even't give me an effect to all?

Speaker 10 (14:06):
Really, we're pretty much the same with every other country,
except we paid GST. We've got a small no I
think other countries.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
I think the countries have gs T and v AT
and things like that.

Speaker 13 (14:18):
Ah.

Speaker 10 (14:19):
The thing as I'm looking at, I think we're pretty competitive.
Are you Are.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
You involved in the supermarket industry?

Speaker 10 (14:26):
Definitely? Definitely?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Whereabouts? How are you involved, Well, would would it? Wouldn't
you ring and say that before you ring up? Wouldn't
that be something you'd say, Hey, I'm involved with in
the spirit of honesty, cheapest Dean Marcus.

Speaker 14 (14:42):
Welcome, Oh hi Marcuess. That was a lot to unpack.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, I thought we're about parking, parking waters that he
came in strong.

Speaker 14 (14:57):
I know, And I'm going to change the subject again
in the trade. Just briefly. I've been catching up on
the podcast of your week's broadcast and always wonderful stuff.
There was a guy that was speaking to you outside
Faint Luke's who was a five h one deplete Ye,
a couple of days ago. Yeah, and you know, I

(15:18):
know that you don't. Yeah, I know you don't pass
on details or anything else like that. But I've I've
worked in that dozens of people that have been in
that deport returning situation, and it's that guy's listening. And
you know, there's a really great organization called TEPA who

(15:38):
helped people who are recently returned or if they're struggling
with stuff. And there's also another guy called David Veda
who runs a podcast called the TFS Podcast, who is
really supportive of the five oh one community as well,
So there's definitely people that that guy could reach out to.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think his name was Kenny, right.

Speaker 14 (15:59):
I think so, I don't remember. I just remember he
was saying that he was homeless and had been unhoused
for like devin years or something, and felt like he
didn't have much community to lean on, and I just
wanted to call and say that there's definitely a community
out there, and those two places would be a good,
good place to start.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Dean, what's the first name of the first organization you
spoke of?

Speaker 14 (16:23):
Uh?

Speaker 15 (16:23):
Te par.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
T e p A.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Is that it?

Speaker 14 (16:29):
Yeah? Tip Par. Yeah, it used to be called PARS.
It used to be called person A Rehabilitation Okay, yeah,
but now it's stilled tip Par and it's run by
like really great people who provide support networks for all
sorts of people like that.

Speaker 15 (16:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Ye, seven one one Mount Albert, right, it wouldn't be
too far from where he was in Royal Oke. And
the other was a person you spoke about.

Speaker 14 (16:51):
Yeah, his name is Dave Obida and he's also a
returning and he has a podcast called the TFS Podcast,
which stands for the Fresh Start, and he does all
sorts of community stuff with people who are returned and

(17:13):
helping find you know, their place back in Altiero.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
You know, I also say it's got a YouTube channel
so to tfs TV that seems to be that also
too supported in twenty nineteen. Yeah, okay, look, I'll see.

Speaker 14 (17:27):
If I've met dozens of people in that in that
environment who are sort of in different stages of working
through the dislocation of coming back. And you know, even
though the government hasn't necessarily provided the best support networks
over the years, the support networks so happy. So hopefully

(17:50):
if Jim he's listening and he could reach out to
some of those.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, and look, if he calls back, I'll pass that
stuff on to him. Dean too, or maybe we will
chase that up also. But thanks for that. Twenty eight
past eight, get in touch, Marcus till twelve. Kind of
your thanks Den eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. I
was going on parking. I was going on parking and
people having to pay with car parks with the ones
with coins were more easier. You might have something to

(18:17):
say about that. What else are people saying? Lots of
police sirens towards its a lot of texts coming through.
Actually just read some of the texts. Well, I've got
a chance. Before the headlines come up, here we go

(18:38):
love you parking? Is that the pay my park up
on my phone very easy in Willington Hut area. Nominations
closed for the Peace Prize. Trump can't win the prize
this year. I think he can. I think that in
the Indian Promise or the Bangladition, Minister nominate him earlier.
I think he can. He was nominated, but not for Gaza.

(18:58):
Was the watermelon sliced? No, it was whole. Go back
to the old analog parking meters so easily done lollipop
meters according to flight Radar twenty four that Fiji Airwaves
plane through to flu to Fiji today Marcus, I think

(19:20):
I hate most about the new meters is the surcharge
on the contactless payment, which can end up to be
fifty percent of the bill, where with the ones and
parmis still use corns coins. Regards Tommy, lots of sirens
towards Highway one. Highway one literally goes from Bluff to
Cape Yunga, which part of Highway one, by the way,

(19:41):
what are the reports of those that's that new thing.
People have bought those new and I'll come back to that.

Speaker 16 (19:45):
Axtu.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
You'll stick what we've got this stage. If you've got
breaking news for anything else, if you know where there's
police are heading on State Highway one. By the way,
there's flooding on the west coast of the South Island.
The rivers are up. They are kayaking and stillwater on
the streets Naheedi and stillwater. Someone went to get the

(20:08):
newspaper in their kayak, so the rivers are up. A
lot of rain in the headwaters. By the way, BUNTI Fowall,
what a great name that is. He's gone to the tigers. Good.
I'll come right and get in touch. You want to
be a part of the show. My name is Marcus Hittle,
twelve big quake, Philippines. But I see that we're not

(20:32):
getting the tsunamis. That's a good thing. Be in touched
here till twelve Oha eight one hundred and eighty ten
eight text you want to come through, be good to
hear from you. Anything else you want to mention tonight,
would love to get you in and on what By
the way, there's still that with that situation in Hamilton,

(20:54):
the boiled water notice. It's off, but they've got no
idea what caused the fecal contamination. But for Central Otago,
Ormaco and Opha, the boil water notice remains in place.
They're waiting for one final water quality test before they

(21:15):
can lift the boiler water notice. Ran fairly conserve water
notice remains in place until levels are fully recovered. Short showers,
no irrigation. That'd be my advice to you on that one.
I'm just trying to work. Oh, just southeast of Auckland,

(21:39):
I think, or they call it Walkland as those sirens
jumpin Hittle twelve. You want to be part of the show.
Anything else you want to mention tonight? Yep, let's be
hearing from you tonight on the Friday, Free for all

(22:01):
this day. In nineteen seventy, Fiji gained independence from Great Britain.
Vaguely remember that. And there is flooding in the South Island,
as I've said, so, yeah, right, besides the Gray River,

(22:21):
Hastings reached twenty nine point six. The other thing I
can tell you about is that Duck Island ice Cream
opened in christ Church today. It's kind of amazing that
there's a Duck Island is based or from Hamilton. You

(22:43):
wouldn't think that would be the case, would you. I
don't know why I think that, but was it get surprised?
I think it comes from Hamilton. It's on guys. All
the options are free fetering and partake tonight parking winners.
That's what wh I talk about. And Duck Island. There's
eight stores in the country. Burry gents and how it

(23:05):
ward first time?

Speaker 7 (23:06):
Can?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Why so little voter turn out? What drives the epathy?
I think a lot of it is the death of
local media. The stories aren't covered. That's my take. No
one's following it. The level of engagement and the ignorance
is outstanding. Marcus. I'm a prolific parking Water recipient. I
recently requested a lot of my personal information held in
the Prophecy Act from the City Council around Wellington area.

(23:29):
My Caurier Pascels arrived. It was a trip down memory
lane looking at the cars I've owned over the years.
They have to take a picture for evidence. I highly
recommend it. How many places in New Zealander named Stillwater?
Best question I've ever seen on talkback is one out
of Graymouth and there's one up the way north of

(23:52):
Long Bay. Am I right? Are there two? Are there
more than two? Someone else might have another still water.
It's as good a discussion as any for me and
parking waters or Trump and how many still waters in
New Zealand. I'd say that at least two. And that's
what chat Ai Overview agrees with me with that. Yeah,

(24:18):
it's a village. That one in Auckland on the Wheati
River up towards the Wide Tavern, twenty two away from nine.
Come on, people, make you the effort tonight. Let's be
hearing from you parking wardens. That's entry level stuff. Cheapers,
get in touch here til twelve, twenty two away from nine.

(24:38):
I'll update you with the news when it happens tonight.
If there's something else you want to chuck in their
gender on this Friday, let's be hearing from your people.
And as I've said, the Trump announcements at ten point thirty,
I think Trump wants one because Obama had one. And
the weird thing is is that it's him wanting a

(25:01):
prize is driving his diplomacy. It's probably not a bad thing. Actually,
I think even Trump realized you've probably got to do
good to get that one. Yeah, so there we go,
get in touch. You want to be a part of it.
Here till twelve o'clock tonight midnight. Yep, oh, eight hundred

(25:25):
eighty eight nineteen nine to text and you'd have to
boil your water on Hamilton anymore. That's the good news
for you, nineteen to nine. Mike, this is Marcus.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Welcome, Thank you very much.

Speaker 9 (25:40):
Going back about thirty five years ago, my first part
time job after school was working for Anset Couriers during
the freight manifestation and we used to each station had
a bible for two. It was about two and a
half inches thick and it had every single destination place
name in New Zealand. And you'd be surprised to find

(26:01):
out that normally is between three and five of the
same name throughout your Zealand Bunnythorpe are all over the
shop floor, right, saw, it got to be more than two,
for sure, but you'd be surprised, right you'd staid, there's
like which one which one of these fivers and then
you had to go down by phone number and try
and figre it.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Out like that.

Speaker 17 (26:22):
But oh, it just didn't shock me. After about booty two.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Months that you go into the Bible, And yeah, at
least six was the most we have a saw for
one place.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Now, what was it? I can't remember because the road
or a town. No, I no these the town's okay,
I'm just I'll just try to think what it would be.

Speaker 9 (26:50):
No, you're talking about at least sixty different destinations in
terms of towns of cities in New Zealand right countrywide
that had multiple same name at least sixty five.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Could you think of some now, apart from still Water, Well,
I know there's Parmeston and Palmerston North, and there's Heavlock
and Headlock North.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
We're talking about the exact same ones.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, actually I can think of one. I think there's
a y Metta or that might be why Matti nor
though up by Bay of Islands. No, I can't think
of any off the off the top of my head.

Speaker 9 (27:26):
I think there's a couple of Gordonton's Newlands sure and
second in two colonial names. But it's a lot of
duplicate molding names as well.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, I just dont to think about Newlands, Wellington's where's
the other one? You know, there's certainly suburbs, aren't there.
There's certainly suburbs that are multiple suburbs with the same name,
and that might count to a.

Speaker 17 (27:55):
Oh yeah for sure.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
So like Elleslie for Auckland, we're not just talking about
the cities.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, I'll see I get some more calls on that too,
mug and we put me P one have some more
ones for us on that sixteen to nine Murray, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 18 (28:10):
Yeah, hi, Marcus vot tune out for the local elections.

Speaker 15 (28:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (28:17):
So last week of July I was contacted by the
Electoral Commission because, as they said in the email, they
were having trouble ascertaining if I still lived at the
same address. So they taken me off the roll and
I said, well, no, I've lived here for twenty three
years and there should have any reason whatsoever for that,
and last I checked, I wasn't wronged, and they go, oh, well,

(28:39):
it's come to our attention. I said, what do you mean?
And I said, well, you know, obviously some government department
has sent me some mail and it got returned to
tender because I don't have a letterbox. It's a towordt
a box. It's not a legal requirement.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
By the way, they have a letter box.

Speaker 18 (28:55):
So I got that swoorted and he said, yeah, okay,
I've re enrolled you, but you know, in the future
blah blah blah. And I said, no, in the future.
Oh you know, I changed adreads exactly exactly, Matthew. And
I don't ever expect to have a problem with you again. Matthew.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Where was Matthew.

Speaker 18 (29:10):
Matthew was at the Electoral Commission.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
How condescending of Matthew.

Speaker 18 (29:16):
Well, this is the same week as the government was
changing the special voting laws. Okay, which just had to
be a coincidence, but in my conspiracy serious mind, maybe not. Yeah,
I don't vote national anyway. So yesterday I went in
too Wonka to vote in the local elections. And so
now we're two and a half months away from the

(29:38):
last week of July. We didn't cast my vote because
they said, well, I haven't got the voting papers for
the day the DBS, I said, no problem, here you go.
They couldn't find me. I still wasn't on the roll.
Two and a half months later, having getting thoughted, I
still wasn't on the role. Now I have zero faith
and the Electoral Commission and I have zero faith and
next year's general elections either this is not on.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Did you see the child cell phone tower?

Speaker 18 (30:03):
I've seen the photo I took over acut.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, it could be a drone.

Speaker 18 (30:08):
They couldn't done with a drone.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
There was my sort of Now they could have too.
Could you start fires with drones? You probably can can't.
That'll be at the beginning of the end of the
kindred drones.

Speaker 18 (30:16):
That will be they can blow chanks up with drones,
start fires. Yeah, maybe they don't want to give that
out there. They know it was a drone. They just
don't want to take because.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
It will be. It will be. It will be a
drone with accelerant.

Speaker 15 (30:31):
Well, they have to go.

Speaker 18 (30:31):
Around all that might have chance and find it. Who's
in buying accelant? Yeah, they'll track them down.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
So did you get a vote in the end though.

Speaker 18 (30:39):
Well, yes I did look as a special vote, but
I still don't know if it's going to be counted.
But I don't know what sort of stuff ups are
going to make between.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Did you did you phone Matthew?

Speaker 19 (30:49):
I seen him.

Speaker 18 (30:49):
I seen I see him an email and say, Methew,
I thought I told you back in July, not to
even stuff me around again. Yeah, I haven't heard back
from you.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Well, thanks Murray thirteen to nine, hittle twelve, voting voting
dramas we had voting dramas. Get in touch Hittel twelve,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus. There are two Inglewoods,
one in the South Island, one in Taranaki. Why Matty,
there's an air in South Taranaki also called Wymatti. There

(31:23):
are two Silverdales and two hill crests, one of each
in Auckland and Hamilton. To what happens when Hamilton becomes
part of Auckland? Is it not already morning Side and
Duneeda and morning Side in Auckland? Marcus. For the next
three weekends Friday night seven pm till five ere Monday,
Alfiston Road is closed from Great South Road to Fleming Street.

(31:45):
Only residents allowed access to Alfurston Road. We've been issued
colored papers to prove we live on Alfreston must be resealing,
are they? Fay email if you want to do parking
meters and local body elections and towns with the same name,
which is my pick of the topics. I like that.
I like that more than I could say nine to

(32:06):
if you want to be a part of it, moname
as Marcus. Welcome. Keep those texts coming through also tonight,
great texts by the way nine two nine with the
text number if you want to come through. Franklin and
Hamilton and a Franklin and Queenstown. Has anyone lived in
two towns with the same name. It's a good thing

(32:27):
to do. Marcus is a Monico, Auckland a Monico. And
the Kapiti coastpreing or Tucky and Levin. There are two
Lake rotuitis, one there Nelson, one ne two way, he's
one by Lake topor one northeast Wakato. I didn't know
any of these things. I thought I knew the country
Paparoa in Northland and in the South Island, and White

(32:49):
Tonguey in the Bay of Islands and on the Chatham Islands.
I think there's two. I do know one. There's two
Lua Pookies. There's one south of Raglan and there's one
which is a delightful island. And Fovo Strait, which is
quite a big deal if you're down this way. It's

(33:12):
got some special kind of title to it that I
don't even think. It's part of New Zealand something special
about it. The most commonplace name is Yaw. Including different spellings,
there are about five. Oh there is a wyou down
south too, Yes, I thought so. By the way, someone

(33:32):
said that Monaco and Manaco are spelled differently. One is Monaco,
one is Manaco, m a n u. That's the Monaco
Harbard Auckland and Manaco. In the top of the bottom
of the North Island is a n a kau and
two k ewe lakes Northland and whang a Nui. All
got this stuff all interesting? Keep your voices in there, though, Kelly,

(33:57):
the bloke Marcus is only one upper hut. And I think,
I think if you want to look to I think
if you look for the most common street name, it'd
be Railway av Marcus. People aren't apathetic, they're disconnected. Council
talks that people not with them. Local news barely covers

(34:19):
real issues anymore, so voters tune out. What can council
actually do to earn attention of rebeld engagement beyond boring
press releases? Would love to hear your thoughts, Cheers Berry. Well,
the cities need to need to elect more relevant and
more diverse councilors. Otherwise you just got the Gray Brigade.

(34:44):
That'd be my take on that one. So it's kind
of yeah. I think probably the democracy we've got the
councils people are voted for, and I don't know where
that all went skew with, but you might want to
engage with that. Eight hundred and eighty today, Marcus till twelve.

(35:06):
Anything else you want to mention tonight? I want to
talk about parking meters, but I've had very poor response
about that, but I'll keep barracking on about it because
I can do anything I can barrack. The other perhaps
topic was slugs and snales and gardens and keeping the

(35:27):
guestropods out of them. What you're supposed to save is
the containers from your Christmas mince pies, and that's where
they end up. And I think you bait them with
marmite or beer. Don't quite know where they like the beer,

(35:49):
but they do. There's a stampede for it. That might
be something you want to talk about also tonight. Oh
eight hundred and eighty, Teddy, Marcus till twelve. Be a
part of it, you want to be a part of
it'd be nice to hear from you tonight here till
midnight gym from twelve gorgeous night. Though, Wow, this is
an interesting text. It annoys me when they call Ashburton

(36:13):
Hukker Terry, as we already have two hukker DRI's. Wow,
that's a different reason to stay with the colonial name.
George Street, Beach Street and Queen Street are the most
common street names in New Zealand. Marcus two Kinlocks, Kinlock

(36:33):
Topor and Kinlock Glenorky. Oh, by the way, this is
better result in the rugby. People didn't say it was
a great game. It was forty one all. This is
Otago for the Waikato forty one all and then there
was a last minute penalty and Otago kicked it. So
final score forty four to forty one. Victory to Otago.

(36:55):
So that's happening. Two Maniyas, Taranaki and Corimandel. Someone says
Trumpty Dumpty must be more excited than a kid on Christmas. Yeah,
but you always know with him even if one is
not going to be happy. Apparently there's also a morning
side in fang are there we go a lot of
information there. Oh, by the way, the final kick was

(37:17):
fifty one meters out. Who was the kicker, Dan? What
heard you say?

Speaker 12 (37:23):
It was.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Miller? Miller light. Yeah, there we hated well fifty one
meters for a clincher. I taught at a soul charge
school called Manuko in the far north of the late seventies.
The community lies between Ahipara and Hirikino, but the school

(37:47):
closed fifty forty plus years ago. One time we got
a huge supply of art equipment and I thought all
my Christmases had come at once, but sadly it was
meant for Monaco Intermediate in South Auckland. Wow, there'd be
an amazing place to teach. Gorgeous up there, Hurdoquino things
all Marcus till twelve. How are you? What's happening? Get

(38:09):
in touch? You want to be part of the show. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten nineteen nine two to text.
We're talking towns and us in with multiple places with
the same name. Been some great suggestions coming through. I
also see that there is a steam engine that's been

(38:31):
removed from the beach, and Hwang and Nui could have
got mixed thoughts about that. How many steam trains do
we need? You know, it's like all that effort to
restore them. I do they have new trains. That's my

(38:53):
take on that one. Braiden, Good evening evening here you
on good thanks Braiden.

Speaker 11 (38:59):
Just ringing up about names in there. I don't know
if you talked you about street names all.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Well, we're getting there.

Speaker 11 (39:07):
I was thinking that surely the most common street name
in New zeal high Street, wouldn't it.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm not sure someone said that George Streets the most common.

Speaker 11 (39:21):
I just thought every town and city had a high.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Street or a beach road.

Speaker 11 (39:28):
Just crashed it to the beach road. They've got a
marine tarde.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
I don't think in Vicago has a high street. I
don't think Bluff has a high street. They're the only
two places I'm sort of regular with at the moment.

Speaker 11 (39:39):
But yeah, your top of Vegas, Yeah, your children christ Church.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
While they all called high street, do they high up?

Speaker 11 (39:53):
No, it's like the well in those examples, it's like
the main retail street.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
So why would you call the main retail street high street?
Is that after something?

Speaker 11 (40:06):
Maybe it was like high end, Maybe it was high end.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Back the day, I'll be curious to know that.

Speaker 11 (40:13):
Yeah, yeah, just sort of the other thing. Ye, slightly,
Can I go slightly off topic? But it was on
the news.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
It does say high signaled superior rank of important, So
you're right with that one. Yes, it was on the news.

Speaker 11 (40:29):
No, no, can I go slightly off topic to something
that was on the news. I'll be quite I just
thought it was quite funny. There was a segment that
you guys just had on farming and global warming. Yep,
I just felt it was quite funny. It sounds like
they might be starting to I wouldn't say bleed, but

(40:50):
it's funny because colloquially I would have thought in the
past left booting farmers had been then they say is
of global warming, but now it's costing the money there
seeming to recognize it.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, I made that's the ak Braydon Thank you. Ten
parts NINEHNDLED twelve. Also slugs and gardens. Yeah, we'll go
with slugs and gardening tonight. I have a problem with that.
We'll go with anything that gets you through the night.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty. If you've got your
own topics tonight too. I love that you got your
own one. Wow, brilliant. Let's be hearing that slugs. I

(41:33):
think it's slug season. Traps with beer seems to be
big barriers. Physical barrier they can't get across broken eggshells
or salt mm hmm. Chickens and ducks. Yeah, Pete, thanks

(41:58):
for hanging on there. It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 20 (42:01):
Yeah, Marcus, you're just regarding parking. You and you Plymouth
were the old corn ones, like most pounds or cities
used to have them years ago. So we got rid
of all of ours. What there's going to be these
knees and we had you put Parmason off. City had
these ones used to have censers on them like little

(42:24):
four you uh it was to do with Yeah, they
had settled a little where you want to try solo
panels on them, little centers all around town. They put
these catories on them which were basically censoring you parked
over them, that'll trigged them off that you has on
a something to do with their little digital thing anyway.

(42:44):
And they were pre worn up to put them in
here and New Plymouth because they they had them in
Parmerston North and they had problems them with for them.

Speaker 15 (42:52):
So what is our.

Speaker 20 (42:52):
Council go and do? Put them in with them, so
we're closer to the sea environment for erosion and stuff
like that. Here I knew there would have been a problem,
but they go and do it. They try to say money,
and they spent a whole lot of money about five
years ago, replace them and all that post them with
most a million dollars. You know, sometimes you have technology.

(43:15):
It's it's okay here to agree.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
But list of the.

Speaker 20 (43:18):
Old you know, the old coin meters. You know a
lot of people they still coins there lot you said
you used to have coins, if you can use them,
these meters that parking means that do have them. So
they spend a whole lot of money and instead of
plying a few parking orders that they used to be
for just going around, you know, just keeping an eye
on them. I think they would have been better off,
you know, like in Stratford, Englewood, it's now parking meters

(43:41):
there at all. Yeah, it's free parking, you know. So
sometimes these people I think it's a good idea, but
sometimes it's not a good idea. I still really can't
beat the old coins. Maybe a problems with them.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
I think people used to rob them.

Speaker 20 (43:55):
No, they used to go around. I used to I
remember years back, they sometimes used to go around. Someone
used to see them. They go round and they obviously
have to take the money out of the meters. It
was a job, obviously, but it's not bad. They're reliable.
Never gave you any problem. People use the coins if
really well, he's happy. And now what they're doing others
they're replacing all these on again because they're ones. They

(44:18):
put them from farmers and all that. Those those particularly models,
but they come they redundants. They're playing opps. Now they're
replacing other ones with cards and all that. And they
never actually some they have coins and some not.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Peter, if you get the council, we bring the old
ones back.

Speaker 20 (44:37):
They are trying with these. They are putting some new
ones in. They do have their function with the coins,
but apparently a little old people because with the old
ones are a little bit you know, they've got a
lot more clearer to use easther friendly. But the ones
they just put them recently, a lot of old people complaining.
So a lot of people who are next to those
meters are losing business because there's a sort of older

(45:00):
people out there are no good of that technology.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
And I asked you if you got to bring the
old ones back. But that's you've got no answer to
the have you.

Speaker 20 (45:08):
I wouldn't mind, Yeah, I wouldn't mind, you know, if
it's easy. Oh no, they're all gone now for it costed,
I read him? Why not?

Speaker 15 (45:16):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (45:16):
So here, thank you, Davey Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (45:20):
Oh hey Marcus. I'm not sure if you're a fan
of the old Big Bang Fair Theory program or not,
but you're just talking about street names the previous quarter
before the break, and one of the characters on The
Big Bang Theory used to come up with interesting facts

(45:43):
every now and then, and he said, the most commonly
named street in America was Second.

Speaker 17 (45:50):
Street and it was.

Speaker 21 (45:54):
Because or Second Avenue whatever they call him, you know,
he said, because the first street usually took on a
different name, like street or main street or something of
that nature. And I wouldn't know what the most common
one in New Zealand is. But that just made me

(46:15):
think of that story when you were talking. It was
your previous callers.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
And it sounds like it's exact fact too, because AI
backs that up. Oh we go, Although I think main
Street might be more common.

Speaker 21 (46:32):
Well, the only main street I know in New Zealand
is in palmister North. I can't think of another city
that has one.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
I think the order goes Main Street, second Street, first Street,
third Street, third Street, fourth Street, fifth Street, Park Street,
sixth Street, Oak Street, seventh Street, Maple Street, Pine Street,
Washington Street, eighth Street, Cedar Street, Elm Street, will Not Street, ninth,
tenth Lake, Sunset. They like trees.

Speaker 21 (46:59):
Well, I would think in the Pacific the most common
names would be King Street or Queen Street. And like
in Rara Tona, I think it's Queen's Road Kings Road
the only two main roads. And I think, well, I

(47:19):
think there's only two raids, and one of them was
Sittney and I opened Fiji and they had I didn't
ever drive the top road, but the bottom road was
Queen's Road.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
How long did you live in.

Speaker 21 (47:33):
How long ago? Oh, I'll be uh eighteen years.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
What was it like?

Speaker 8 (47:43):
It was?

Speaker 21 (47:46):
I made the mistake of I got married there and
and and I thought it was paradise, and we decided
that it was this would be the greatest place on
this to live. But like all paradise is, that's not
the case. It's yeah, where you live versus where you travel.

(48:09):
At two different places. So we we lived in the
main streets and saw the daily poverty of the people
that go out and service the resorts where you enjoy
the holidays.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
So you have always had a bit of a problem
and that it does seem like you're having you're having
a holiday at the grace of slave conditions.

Speaker 21 (48:33):
Yeah, my office was actually about three meters away from
an old water tank that Sidavini round BOOKA was imprisoned.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
So what we're doing, What were you doing?

Speaker 3 (48:50):
What was your office doing?

Speaker 21 (48:53):
So I was a flight instruct list. I was teaching
at the airport and addition to the airport, what was
an old British colonial era club, I suppose back in
the day had been converted into a private flying school.

(49:14):
And my role I was flying straight And it was
three weeks into the job and I always asked one
of the staff to well, why are all these guards
and military outfits that three meters from my window? And
having Seevenia remember and you know the hole at the
top of the water tank. They used to drop a

(49:39):
bucket down into that and he was in there. Goodness,
now how many months?

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Goodness, what a story. We talked about multiple towns and
he's in with the same name. Apparently there's a Silverdale
and Hamilton and a Silverdale just well, there is one
north of Auckland. I just ni fung Paroa. But there's
also a Silverdale Hamilton, which I never realized about that.
That's one of the topics tonight. Parking meets the old
ones with the corner though. I think in some ways
Pete sucked the life out of that topic, didn't he. Oh, Hector,

(50:05):
where we're going to go with this? I was gonna
see if I could. I was gonna ask him which
was Parmeston North and which was New Plymouth. But I
decided not to do that because that would be mean spirited.
But I think people still get those towns confused, don't they.
You ever noticed that you've been the wrong one? Marcus
Palmerston still has the sense of car parking meters. If

(50:28):
your time expires, you receive a thirty dollars fine. If
you don't pay the meter at all, then an eighty
dollars fine will be issued. I think the older star
medals would sometimes continue to pay for the next vehicle
the park might be where they're phased out. I think
they're phased out because the collect isn't like walking around
with all that money. Well, that was probably the excuse

(50:49):
they used. I think the retailers like car parks because
it means there's met parks, because it means there's more
flow through of shoppers. I think they drive that. That's
what I suspect. Get in Touched by names Mark Hittle twelve.
If you want to talk anything else, you want to

(51:10):
talk about God, that's what we're here for. You might
have watched the rugby you might want to comment on that.
Wakato versus Otago three narrow and close, finish forty three
forty one. There's other stuff you want to bring up Tonight,
Good been a woe? Will tune out for local body elections? Yeah,

(51:39):
so can you complain when your rates go up after that?
I don't know. You might want to mention that or
anything else tonight, as I say, And the Nobel Peace
Prize in Norway.

Speaker 11 (51:59):
Who knew?

Speaker 3 (51:59):
That's given out tonight at ten thirty go live to
that will be exactly ten thirty ten. AH broadcasts starts

(52:20):
at nine forty five. Announcement like at ten past ten,
So I'll come out of the news. We'll see we
been crossover see what they're going to say about that. Yep,
we got the live stream, are ready to go, people.
I don't know how interesting it'll be to risk, huge risk,

(52:43):
this end huge risk. Come on, let's go. Oh wait
to at eighty nine nine. You might be out there
doing something interesting in the big smoke tonight. Don't know
what that is, but I'm curious. It's to gorgeous night

(53:03):
in most of the country. Yep, So let's hear from you. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine nine to text
some of the other stuff that are snails and slugs?
Not much of a topic. Is there no bites on
that one?

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Oh, Duck Island if you've been to Duck Island seems
to be the way to make money these days is
gelato or ice cream. So you want to mention that
we can handle that. Twenty seven past nine as I say, oh,
eight hundred eight he tel twelve. Let me put my
foot up and get more relaxed. I'll see if this

(53:50):
makes me more interesting. What's this? What's this app down
that you can mystery bags of unsold food?

Speaker 17 (53:58):
Is that a thing.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
Gone good? So you get this mystery bag? You can
get mystery bag old food from your bakery. It's on
Heather's show. Butt often say that, do I gone good? Good?

(54:23):
I think I don't know if I was launched yet. Wow,
here's how it works, follow these simple steps. It's not
a very good way. I'm clicking on the website. Nothing's
coming up for me. I might have too many tabs open,

(54:43):
but it hasn't been a good experience for me so far.
It's like quite a good idea, actually gone good app
there might be having too much. Yeah, I can't upload anything.

(55:06):
Might be pilier though, you never know in these days.
And for those that just tuned in, Otago narrowly won
the forty four forty one very close result. There was
forty one all right to the final whistle. Then there
was a penalty and Cameron Millow see Paul Miller's son, anyway,
he kicked it from fifty one meters and one Otago

(55:32):
the match. So you heard that here, that's breaking us.
You probably watched the match. You might want to tell
me what it was like. But yeah, all the lines
are free. If you want to talk, get in touch,
if you want to be part of it. Eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty anything else up for that nine
two oh you might listened to Taylor Swift's new album
How's that for you? Just putting that out there in

(55:52):
case you do want to talk Renobel Prize. He was
a great cartoon of the Noble Committee saying, just for laughs,
let's ward it to Obama again. Marcus. I was the
client office today whom had a ship in an old
whiskey bottle on the bookshelf, which triggered the memory what
happened to Kelly Tartan's ship burned down boot down last year?

(56:15):
Didn't It was kind of derelict and then someone set
light to it. I think that was due just across
the throw from White Tongue Yet pay here Marcus Beck.
In the nineties, I was flatting in Central christs just
a couple of blocks of the Arts center. Every morning
two am, we'd often hear the coin collector emptying the meters.

(56:35):
He would walk the streets with a German shepherd for security.
On a quiet night, we would hear the clang of
the coins dropping into his bucket from blocks away, where
students would always give him a houru He never chatted,
but always gave us a wave back. Aaron twenty five
thousand students in christ Church big number Ee Halloise, Marcus, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 14 (56:56):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 12 (56:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (56:58):
There is another main street, and that's in Foxton, Oh,
not too far from Farming. This really annoys me that
there's a Featherston Street in PARMI there's one in Levin,
and there's also one, of course in Wellington. I don't
know if there's any others, but it's annoying.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
How there's streets from different towns in those towns. A. Yeah,
there's a Wellington street in Auckland. Yeah, where isn't it?

Speaker 7 (57:31):
Is there an Auckland street in Wellington? Though I don't
think there is.

Speaker 19 (57:38):
Maybe there should be one.

Speaker 7 (57:40):
Yeah, I don't need a.

Speaker 21 (57:42):
Bit more imagination.

Speaker 7 (57:43):
I remember when I lived on Marine Parade. My address
would never come up. There'd be a.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Whole lessing which marine pray to you?

Speaker 7 (57:51):
And Louise I was and not now I was an autechy.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Marine has two, hasn't it? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (58:00):
And there's one in Paraparamo. And I was getting their
male and they were getting they were getting mine, even
though powers felt quite differently, you know, because I.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Live on Marine Parade and we've had some problems.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
Yes, yes, I'm glad we offered actually in many ways.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Yeah, although I also live on State Highway one. It's
a bit of both.

Speaker 7 (58:27):
It would be difficult.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
I wish it was numbered right the way from State
Hawaiy one. Thank you, Luise, Michael, Marcus welcome, Oh hello Marcus.
Hell you good Michael.

Speaker 12 (58:38):
Thanks to zivery.

Speaker 16 (58:39):
On out for Dinner's a night mate.

Speaker 6 (58:40):
There's not many people.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Can be but sketch you the first two hours on
a Friday, but swings around. But you just got to
run with that. That's all right, don't come.

Speaker 16 (58:48):
Right then'll come right using the using the first table
app what I want to talk about. Oh there's a
place I used to live in North Queensland and there's
a place up there called here and their street was
quite frustrating. There were a good patter in town and
north to south streets were numbers, so first first Street,

(59:12):
second Street, third Street, and then the east to west
were the same, but they were written oh what instead
of being Instead of being numbers, they were written it
was quite a town to get around.

Speaker 22 (59:27):
Yeah, a y R.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
It's crazy.

Speaker 16 (59:34):
Yeah it'll blow you might have a.

Speaker 15 (59:36):
Look at it.

Speaker 17 (59:36):
I thought it was crazy when I first lived over
there too, but so what so.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
You wouldn't tell for the conversation on the phone, what
what one you're talking about?

Speaker 8 (59:46):
No?

Speaker 16 (59:46):
And then if someone if you're googling a street and
you say, you know, I live on first first Street,
then you've got to work out whether you've got to.

Speaker 17 (59:55):
Spell it or write it as a number.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
What were you doing there?

Speaker 16 (01:00:01):
I was living in Townsville so years just down the road.
I was a rubber structure of Oh yeah, beautiful spot,
quiet town. Pretty nice, but yeah, confusing to get around.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Did you say where you're in Townsville?

Speaker 15 (01:00:16):
Were you?

Speaker 14 (01:00:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:00:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
The weird thing. The weird thing is I'm looking at
and I can't see any streets named that.

Speaker 16 (01:00:28):
Not in towns all an ear Google.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Yeah, I'm looking at it. If they've changed them, eh no, I.

Speaker 17 (01:00:37):
Wouldn't have thought.

Speaker 16 (01:00:38):
So who was some pretty one horse town.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Have a look, you have a look and let me
know about that, because I reckon they've changed them. Don't
know what's happened there. Maybe God did get too confusing.
It's like a nice town, free laid out, free blockie.
Be in touch if you want to be be the change,

(01:01:02):
get in touch. Hehittll twelve twenty one from Tan. Hello, Kenny,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:01:06):
Welcome And like I say, they're going, I think they
did change all the names of the streets and there.
I used to go to Chains University over there in
Council and I think I think it was late eighties.
Then I don't hold me to that, but I was
actually ringing up to say, yeah, he was talking about
the street that's most popular names of the streets over

(01:01:28):
here in his Zeeland rover. In Australia, it used to
be First Street and then second Street was you know that,
you know, the second most popular, but then they changed
it because it became Second Street becoming the most popular
because the first street actually got changed to like Queen
Street in Brisbane, and then there came remember the other
thing as the Queen Street also down in Melbourne. And yeah,

(01:01:49):
so all the first streets became like named after.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
So what did that make the most common street name?

Speaker 23 (01:01:58):
Then the most common street became Second Street.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Okay, that's that's the same in America, Yeah, yeah, I
think so, yeah, yeah, and the most common name street
is Main Street, then Second Street, then Third Street.

Speaker 23 (01:02:13):
Yeah that's it. Yeah, I think that's about the same name.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
I'll try them. I wouldn't mind something some more about
air because I can't see anything online about that. There
isn't Aakra and Taranaki on the west coast north and
on the east coast up north. Mark's that your last call.
I might have been talking about home Hill, Queensland. I'll
look at that one now, home Hill. I want to
see it put through the south from here. I'm on

(01:02:43):
that with the map. Now, No, that doesn't have them,
that doesn't have them spelled. That's got them both going
either way. It's a strange town. You got ninth and
tenth going both ways. Yeah, I think you must be

(01:03:04):
mentioning that it's tenth there than tenth Street. Really stupid.
That's that's a really stupid town. If it's got anything,
that's a Wikipedia page about what it's stupid names, Why
it's got such stupid names. A rural town the sub

(01:03:27):
shire of Brutik in Queensland history. Just say Sam something
about the streets. Can't say much about it. Sugar Cane Town,

(01:03:53):
there were two backpackers killed in a stabbing attack at
the backpackers. Doesn't say anything about White's streets are all
named the same. It's just weird. Oh boy, eighteen to
ten people, we've got the Nobel Peace Prize announced in

(01:04:16):
the next half hour. Michael's Texas City meant home. Hell, yeah,
thanks Michael. It doesn't matter. I mean, it's good you
came through for that, because because otherwise wouldn't have known it. Hi, Marcus.
I have a white flowering road of dener in the garden,
and a flowering is in a native pitosporum the spami night.

(01:04:39):
They fill the air with beautiful perfume. I wonder why
their perfume is so much more fragrant at night. Also,
the white rhododendron flowers are really bright white in the
dark night. I'll tell you what we've got on bluff. Hell,
we've got the poor Hui, which is the native. I
don't know much about it. I think it's it's that
white flowering plant. Gee, it's gorgeous. It's a convolvulus, I think,

(01:05:10):
but I've never Yeah, it's weird because I haven't seen that.
I haven't seen it's so beautiful. I've never seen it
growing domestically, If that's what I can say. I guess
it's a creeper. Are they hard to grow? Gorgeous? Looking plant.
I someone want it's got another name. Every time I
Google that, you don't see much about that. Maybe that's

(01:05:33):
what it's called. Looks more like that, Mara Rio. That
might be what it is. It's what the Bluffell is
named after. No, maybe I've got that wrong. Maybe that's
the garden. AnyWho. Seventeen to ten, John, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:05:56):
Oh ho, Marcus. You said there's no Auckland Street in Wellington,
but there is an Auckland Terrace in Melrose. Oh I
didn't know, but I just looked it up on the
map that I've got all the streets in Wellington on.

(01:06:19):
So it's Since it's off Hornsey Road.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
You can see funny old Milrose Auckland Terrace looks like
a street with five houses on.

Speaker 13 (01:06:34):
It, does it? Yeah, that you're looking on Google.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Guys where old Truby King lived, isn't it? M m yeah.
I'm just just uttering to myself. Don't worry about me, John,
fifteen to ten nights. Thanks for doing that work for us.
Hittle twelve is a Nobel prize every four years. I
think the Nobel Prize every year?

Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
Is it Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Every year? Annually? They call that announced October, presented December.
The live streams just started. It's on YouTube. If you
want to watch it, I'll bring you what I don't

(01:07:20):
want it. I think I work on the theory the
less buttons the better. But we've never got to monitor
what Trump says on truth social if he doesn't get
If he does get it, who'd be a crazy day
in history if he does get it. But that's life.

(01:07:43):
That's the time we live in fourteen to ten. I
want to talk about parking meters. It seems from what
I can talk about that most people are very, very
happy with the new parking meters. By the way, there
are people in Scott Point and Aucklandry's fastest growing suburbs.

(01:08:07):
They've been held hostage to road works. Is there only
excess roads to be reduced to one lane for at
least a month? You know Auckland's growing quickly when there
are suburbs.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
You never heard of.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Scott Point, and I thought I knew Auckland. Never heard
of it, Scott terrible name for a suburb. I'll tell
you where it is. It's just the new area development

(01:08:46):
in Hobsonville, the southernmost dear the yes, the southern part
of that. I don't know why they don't just call
it Hobsonville, but it's kind of like a finger of
a peninsula. I guess you'd call it with extremely small
sects and houses. Cheek to jow. Wow, it's already got

(01:09:13):
a real new suburb looking vibe to it. Cheapest creepers.
Look at that tidy up your boom. Quite interesting. But
anyway you might be there, you might have something to
say about that. I haven't, by the way, got anything
to say about that twelve away from ten if you

(01:09:33):
want to be a part of it in anything else
you want to mention or talk about tonight, snails and
parking meters and town's for the same name, but get
in touch. Oh yes, even now the Daily Mail, the

(01:09:56):
Daily Fail has got the Nobel Peace Prize Live. What
I'm seeing is just a picture of a door and
the middle in the leg turn. But it looks pretty
not much as happening there yet. Evening, Calvin, this is Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Welcome, very good evening to your Marcus. Parking meters in
the tron in Hamilton. Now, when I go to the
inner city here I normally go in the shover driven
stretch limousine and leave mcar at home. But I haven't
haven't had a driver's license for about three weeks now
because of having a cataract operation, so I've got to
go through the whole rigmarole of getting it to re established.

(01:10:36):
Another few weeks to go yet. But with the I
don't like the new type of parking meters. And when
I've been walking along the street on the way to
the movies in a Tuesday afternoon in the inner city,
there's always people studying these little metal boxes on the
street footpath and I've gone up and just to see,

(01:11:00):
you know, what it's all about and all of that.
But I don't like them. But the actual old style
parking meters put the money in, twist the old noboard
whatever or some of them. You don't even have to
twist them, just put the money in. About twelve months
or maybe at the most two years ago now, there
were quite a few for sale here in Hamilton, to

(01:11:21):
do with the Hamleton City Council, and I'm pretty sure
they were at the building of the Habitat for Humanity.
They were selling them.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Oh yeah, how much.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
They weren't very much. There's something like twenty five dollars.
I think it was a little while ago.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Now required to take one apart.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Well, if I had a put one, if I had
a board one, I was thinking of putting it along
my street boundary.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
It'd be a great thing to do.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
So if any cars come along the street and parked that,
look over the footpath and see this parking meter, and
it'd be curious to see if a person did there,
to see how much money they had they got collected.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
Any movies this week, Calvin?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
This week I saw a French movie Holy Cow, but
it was a bit of a dead loss. But last week,
on the Tuesday, did I tell you? Tuesday, I went
to see a movie and it was so good I
went the next day to see it on the Wednesday
again it was fantastic.

Speaker 15 (01:12:29):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
I can't see it again next week as well? What
one was that about? Dame Jasindra Adern, Prime ministery last week?

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
There isn't What's the movie people are raving about.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
I've had a couple of discussions about it this week.
I'll tell you what it's called. It's like a it's
like a I don't know anything about it, but it's
taken the Whill by storm.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Is it in a movie theater?

Speaker 15 (01:12:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Well, I think it might be one battle after another.

Speaker 24 (01:13:04):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
It could be something like that you set. Yeah, no,
but I've been told about it, but don't ask you
what they really knowed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
DiCaprio and Sean Penny. It's fucking amazing you go to
that one. Here, you report back. I've got to run
for got some more people before the end. An as Stacey,
A good evening. It's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:13:27):
How's it going?

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Takes Stationia?

Speaker 15 (01:13:31):
So what's really.

Speaker 22 (01:13:33):
Grinding my gears at the moment? It's common courtesy.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
Things have been going out the window, and people aren't
living their lives as they drive past you and I
Tom anymore.

Speaker 25 (01:13:42):
We're getting so more often.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
Is it because they're not dipping or they've got these
weird lights that the low beam seems like high beam?

Speaker 19 (01:13:52):
No, they really seem to just be high beaming.

Speaker 22 (01:13:55):
But I do I do get what you're saying about
the new laves, the very bright alied ones. Yea, that
they conceive that nobody else on the road can.

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of getting black did
no no?

Speaker 13 (01:14:08):
Neia?

Speaker 15 (01:14:09):
Well, it's just on a Saturday.

Speaker 10 (01:14:11):
Maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Yeah, I guess it's a good point. It's good come
back a stage any blast Saturday. But I don't know
what to do about it. I think most drivers, I
think most drivers must aware how unpleased, be unaware, aware
how unpleasant it is. Wouldn't they?

Speaker 6 (01:14:25):
You would think so?

Speaker 16 (01:14:26):
Yes.

Speaker 25 (01:14:27):
I just think people are much more self and bold
these days.

Speaker 19 (01:14:31):
Than it happens.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
I think you're probably right. We'll discuss thank you in
the stage at Graham as Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:14:38):
Oh ban, hey, you lord. I'm really excited.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):

Now.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
There's a guy out of shot that's just going might
be a photographer. Yeah, so there we go. We don't know.
That says a bit more. I'll tell you one thing
about Trumpe. He's made it more interesting. People are going
to watch to see what happened with it. Oh yeah, greetings,
Welcome Marcus till twelve. If you want to be a
part of the show, feel free to come through. The
number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and if

(01:17:35):
you've just joined us. The Nobel Peace Prize has been
announced here as the announcement.

Speaker 24 (01:17:40):
Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize
for twenty twenty five to Maria Corina Machado.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
So mariak Kandakar. Maria Corena Macharda. She's like the opposition
leader in Venezuela. So that's what I have for you people,
not Trump. I'll get some informations that comes through.

Speaker 14 (01:18:12):
For you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
That's just happened, So Maria Corina Machado, because Trump was
openly seeking the award, the medal, so just been now
so the last couple of minutes, there's not much information
through about her, but she's yeah, she's a she's a

(01:18:34):
democratic fighter. I guess that's the situation there. Back to
our talk to Pudon, I wait at Teddy and nineteen
nine to text you want to come through? Has Trump
said anything on truth social The Nobel Peace Prize for
twenty twenty five goes a woman who keeps the flame
of democracy going amidst the growing darkness. One of the

(01:18:57):
most extraordinary examples of courage in Latin America. She's been
a key unifying figure. This is price precisely what lies
at the heart of democracy. She will defend the principles
of popular rule, even though we disagree. At a time
when democracy is under threat, it's more important never to
defend this common ground. But Charles stood up for freend

(01:19:20):
for elections more than twenty years ago, a choice of
ballots over bullets. She spent years working for freedom. It's
the last information I've got for you. They're doing rolling
coverage news of that. That's just come through. Here we go,
ten past ten, here till midnight, monumers markets welcome, good evening.

(01:19:40):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nineteen ninety detext.
We're just seeing how Trump's reacted to that. If you've
got any other stories you want to talk about. All
stuff you want to talk about good, it'd be nice
to hear from you, Oh, eight hundred and eighty t
anything goes, parking, wardens and snails, that's part of it.

(01:20:05):
You might have more of stuff otherst If you want
to talk about good local body election tune out seems
to be woefully small. You might want to mention that
also tonight. Any other stuff you do want to mention,
That's what we're about tonight. So do come through, because
I say eight hundred and eighty. Oh, by the way,
if anyone seen that movie I was going on, what
was that movie that? When I went on to yeah,

(01:20:28):
one bad laughter, If anyone's seen that, let me know
that was about. Also, if anyone's listened to the Taylor
Swift album, both those things of interest to me come through,
or some of those other classic topics we've got. You
can talk about those also tonight, and I'll do my
damness to keep you updated. There's rising river waters on

(01:20:49):
the West coast. I think they're okay now, but they're
worried about the Gray River. And they've also taken this
big steam locomotive out of the mole at hwang Enui
to restore. How many old steam engines do we need
to restore? Often wonder about that, and surely one or
two on each on them would be enough, wouldn't it.

(01:21:11):
We want to get the diesel ones going in the
electrics Wizley. This is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:21:18):
Hi, Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:21:19):
Yeah, I'm breaking news by r N z Auckland Central
Fire Station has closed down due to asbestos contamination.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Yeah, I saw that. I did see that in one
of the newspapers.

Speaker 14 (01:21:32):
Is it?

Speaker 24 (01:21:33):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
Because what's that about?

Speaker 7 (01:21:34):
Do you know?

Speaker 26 (01:21:36):
It's apparently an area of the station that has asbestos
has been breached, so someone is obviously interacted with the
asbestos and stirred it up, so they have to go
through decontamination showers. Trucks are not allowed to enter and

(01:21:59):
leave the building, so the station is effectively closed until
further notice.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Appreciate the update, Wesley, thanks for thirteen past ten. It's
all happening. It all happens with fireman, doesn't it, or
fire fighters if we should probably call them. And also
the residents of Scott Point and Hobson Bill complaining about
only one road and one road out. Do you want
to mention that it looks like a badly designed suburb
to me? Thousands of houses in a school with nine

(01:22:25):
hundred people. There's four and a half thousand people in
the waterfront community Scott Point. Most of you had never
heard of it. She has grown quick in it. I'm
just seeing all these people living there, stuck in the
motorway forever going to work. What amazes me about these
new subdivisions. I was driving around Cromwell the other day.

(01:22:46):
I can't believe. I can't believe how intense the developments
are because it's still single or double story houses, but
they are right next to each other. I don't know
what the size of the sections would be. It wouldn't
be an eighth of the day. It might be a
sixteenth of an acre anyway, So it's kind of the

(01:23:08):
part of Hobsonville Point, but the south part it's by
the sea and everything, but doesn't look an extremely intense
intensely settled area. But yes, if you want to talk
about anything else tonight too. It's fourteen past ten. I
don't enjoy your discussions. Trump hasn't got the Nobel Peace Prize.

(01:23:29):
We now know that. But do come through eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty in the local body elections. The
results will be out tomorrow after midday. I think in
all and only about twenty two percent of people voted,
which is pretty remarkable, remarkably low. So you pour people

(01:23:51):
in Takanini. Your power has been out since twenty to eight.
Victor reported that at eight fourteen, said that they have
been notified of it and are looking for the cause
of it. It's still off and no reasons why. So yeah,
so I feel a few people in Tucking. Anybody can't
bring you much information about that. How you're going people?

(01:24:11):
Anyone do anything interesting? You went up for a chat
here til twelve. If you want to do come through,
which about slugs and parking meters. Oh, by the way too.
Thanks for the person that told me the pronunciation. Hint,
it's mashado, that's the pronunciation. I appreciate that. Thanks for that, Pedro,

(01:24:35):
appreciate it. Miss Shado, Maria Mara, Karina mashada. It's being
so wit and hooka tick. Where had so much rain?
The water isn't running away. Alphaston Road has been restricted
to residents only. Check out pat to Mahowe. It's no

(01:24:55):
longer a blink and you'll miss it. This year's Nobel
Prize was decided in January twenty twenty five. Trump was
never in the running.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
For this year.

Speaker 3 (01:25:04):
And that's not quite right, Marcus. Normally, when you say
you're due for a holiday, it means you're probably not
going to be here this coming Monday. I will be.
I just you know what it's like when you've got
bosses are always going on you to take holidays. It's
the accountants to get the box balanced or something. They
like it that I don't. I don't quite know why

(01:25:27):
human resources. I think they're still called human resources. But oh,
and why are so many people not dipping their lights?
It was the other great topic for tonight, orthough I
don't know anyone's going to confess to not I'm a
lazy dipper. I like to leave it to the last
minute to dip. But you do get angry when people

(01:25:49):
don't pay you all. Hang but there's not much you
can do. Really, you're not going to do a YouTube
and chase the way they'd be psychotic. Well, I'm not
going to good I Brendan.

Speaker 12 (01:26:02):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus, and you have a great week.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
Hang hang on, hang on. You want me to have
a great week or I've had a great week.

Speaker 12 (01:26:14):
Well, no, I want your hair. I want you to
have a great week.

Speaker 27 (01:26:16):
Okay, whatever you know anyway, okay, okay, Hey gold, you
know a seventh seven seven, seven thousand pro announce Hey,
where did the jump come from?

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
Global global uncertainty?

Speaker 9 (01:26:37):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:26:37):
Yeah, because it wasn't long ago.

Speaker 27 (01:26:40):
There was only like twelve thirteen Yeah, one hundred year
pro announce so that's a massive jump.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:26:50):
Well anyway, Marcus, hete you have a.

Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
Great But did you ask me why why it's gone
up in price?

Speaker 9 (01:26:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
And what and what did I say?

Speaker 12 (01:27:03):
In security or something like that?

Speaker 3 (01:27:05):
Your globe uncertainly? It seems to when the world's in
a bad place, people buy gold is a hedge against chaos.

Speaker 17 (01:27:11):
I think ah treut that well.

Speaker 12 (01:27:14):
Anyway, Marcus, share a great week anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
Thanks Brendan. Let's get freaked out by people that sound
like they're not listening because when you say so, oh
is that right? But yeah, someone's just you. Anyway, take
what you can get. I suppose shout outs. We've got
some shout outs. New Taylor swift up was amazing. Love
your show, Marcus. Was this with my friends John Ty

(01:27:37):
and Becky. Can we get a shout out Charlotte, Charlotte,
John d Becky Great, loving that, Marcus. I think the
problem with the high beam is the automatic high beam,
which takes a while to pick up another car traveling
in the opposite direction. Gosh one, if my car's got
automatic high beam. I keep telling the kids to I

(01:27:58):
keep telling the kids to try and read the manual
and get more features in the car. One of the
cars I've driven out trying to change the clock for
daylight savings time. That's what's causing the accidents. People driving
and trying to change the time. Well, there's some complicated
ways that go, Marcus. What do you mean you leave

(01:28:19):
it until the last moment. There's really only one moment
when there's a car straight in front of you, regardless
of how far away they are. Oh no, that's not
quite true. If there's a long bend or trucks coming
out of a dip. Yes, yeah, wait until you can
see their lights, then you flip it off. I've thought

(01:28:40):
a lot about this. You haven't thought about a dippy
road or a covey road. When I drive having the
Bluff Road at night, it's quite varied and dippy and curvy,
so yes, I do leave it. The last moment.

Speaker 23 (01:28:56):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
Sounds like well deserving woman receiving the peace price. Thank
goodness it wasn't Trump. He will say it was stolen.
Is not going to take it.

Speaker 20 (01:29:07):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
He probably invade Venezuela and Norway and Sweden for good measure,
because Nobel was Swedish. Oh Danny dynamite, so yes, and
then Greenland, just while he's got his confidence up. Twenty
three past ten high beam? Who's got automatic high beams?

(01:29:29):
Is it any good? That's something else we can talk about.
And my real question was parking meters. Would you just
prefer the old ones with coins because there's always old
people hanging around looking confused, waiting for people to come
up and assist them. It's not good. By the way,

(01:29:54):
has anyone been to Teddy Swims tonight or last night?
Anyone went to that last night? Has he got more
than three songs? Didn't realize he had those big round
things in his ears. Don't like them. You can't beat
the at park app and auklab. But Johnny needs the

(01:30:17):
zone number and length of the time to be entered.
The alerts you when it's about to expires, and add
more if you needed. Brilliant great show. Cheers, Bears like
the sounds of that. Marcus loving the show. Cutting some
fish shapes for a dress up party I'm going to tomorrow.
Cheers Liam. What are you going as a school of fish?

(01:30:38):
Someone said I was practicing shadow boxing the dark and
gave herself an upper cut. Marcus. We have three towns
called taka po at East Cape, Gisbone and Munoa Tu
t a k a p Au And I've tried to google.
It's alto corrected me to Takapoona. Oh yeah, wow, automatic dipping.

(01:31:15):
Automatic dipping. Someone set with your text that just says
six dB this is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:31:27):
I think you are wrong about your dipping late, and
I feel strongly about it, or shall I say they.

Speaker 4 (01:31:37):
Were a little bit more?

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
I like your passion.

Speaker 17 (01:31:45):
If you can see at trucks the loom of his
head lights, or even more importantly, if you can see
the market lights on top of his cab, it's time
to dip your lights, because he is sitting well above
his head lights.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
A track that comes along a longer curve long curved right,
then dips right down, so you can't see the track,
but you know it Donne's way.

Speaker 17 (01:32:10):
Yes, But on a straight road with a dip, the
driver has come above the dip long before his lights
get there.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
I can't even see the driver.

Speaker 17 (01:32:24):
You can't, but he can see your headlights.

Speaker 3 (01:32:27):
No, I can't even see the top of the track.

Speaker 17 (01:32:29):
All right, I'll give you that part so far. But
having driven buses and you know Lad's coaches for long enough,
the number of people will wait to see your headlights,
which are three four feet below your your.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
Eye line, you haven't well dip by then.

Speaker 17 (01:32:52):
But I'll give you my my rule of sun. If
I can see tail lights, my lights go down. If
I can see the loom of the headlights, I did.

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Are you dipping when you're.

Speaker 17 (01:33:07):
Following absolutely, am h, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
I just I just see the humor. I do dip
when I follow.

Speaker 17 (01:33:21):
Yeah, but you thing of the track's rearview mirrors times
the size of your little ones. But even when I'm
following a car, if I can see tower lights, my
dip my headlights, and if I can see the headlights
going over the the horizon of the road, I'll get

(01:33:41):
my headlights even if they're two qualmeters away. You had
done I was fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
You've had a cow of the foot up.

Speaker 17 (01:33:53):
Yes, there's lots of them. In fact, I rather regret
having not having them, because much much better.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
It was much better than.

Speaker 17 (01:34:03):
Absolutely, I get cars will be a damn stalks swapped over.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
You got indicating? You're indicating. I think, what are you
going to?

Speaker 6 (01:34:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Yeah, what what models had the foot up dB.

Speaker 17 (01:34:20):
Or anything up to the nineteen late late seventies, Like
I had a box of blocks fifty six Fords. I
think a number of my Falcons. I'm just trying to
think what was the last car I had. By the
time I got into the midst of bushes, they were

(01:34:41):
on the on the stalks, and now they're they're a
they've gone with the dinosaurs. I love to think my
x J six headed on the floor. Okay, that's all
you know, a long time ago. But one one more thing.

(01:35:05):
We're doing cat wheels here. One Donald Trump did not
when maybe our pre surpise a woman got it and
he is going to lose his mind.

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
More furthermore, dB, thanks so much for that. I've had
an email from the Congo. Mark says, I saw that
movie one better after the other day, one of the
best movies I've seen a long time. Two hours forty
minutes later, I was looking forty episode number two Sean
Penn was amazing. If you can go and see, I
recommend it. Best regards from the Congo. Brilliant. Always good

(01:35:42):
to get a call from the Congo, our Congo correspondent,
what cars had the footed up by the way to
a lot of people saying that Donald Trump wasn't going
to get he was nominated for it, so yeah, so
people coming through a lot of fake news too. So
he was nominated for it. But I think by the
Pakistani Prime Minister, and I don't quite know what it

(01:36:03):
was for. It was fun for something months ago, I
think between for solving what happened between Pakistan, Indian also
between Army and Armenia and Zbijan, so it was dominated
by all accounts. Stephanie Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:36:26):
Good morning Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
Stephane. I don't have to come back with you and
say good evening, but yeah it is still okay, Yeah,
that's that's all right. But I know you worked different chefs.

Speaker 5 (01:36:36):
But anyway, yeah, yeah, I haven't abrico lunch yet. Yeah,
dipping your lights, I will set them if I can
see the glow of the headlights and a dip or
coming around the side of earl before I see the vehicles,
because I know what it's like when you come come

(01:36:58):
around the corner and the turkey coming to woola. Ain't
dipping it blind you?

Speaker 17 (01:37:05):
People getting the one?

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
Are people getting worse at it?

Speaker 8 (01:37:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:37:10):
Even the ones coming up behind you. They can be
a k or more behind you and they are on
high beam and there's nothing you can do. You've got
two big mirrors either side yet, so you just write
your time man, a little bit of payback when they
pass you. You don't dip straight away. I know it's wrong,

(01:37:31):
but they get a message.

Speaker 7 (01:37:35):
So what do you do?

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
Tell me that again?

Speaker 5 (01:37:37):
A little bit of payback if they're coming up behind
you and they don't dip until I write on your
back number when they pass you, you don't dip straight away.

Speaker 3 (01:37:48):
The old revenge not dipic. We've all done that. There's
definitely I'm with you on that. They are well out.
There is a bit of yours back at you.

Speaker 20 (01:37:55):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 5 (01:37:57):
The ones coming towards you just give a flick on
the light and they'll they'll do pretty quick normal normally.
Sometimes it takes a couple more.

Speaker 9 (01:38:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
Do you think people just don't know about lights and dips.

Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
Especially coming up behind a vehicle. They just got no idea.
And some nights you get twenty or more and they
they start playing heavic on your eyes. They start getting
really tired.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
Until there okay, any idiots out there tonight, Stephanie, Oh,
good night tonight. A lot of winds, Yeah, a lot
of wind. Can you feel the wind on your tracks?
I suppose you can. I suppose it makes a difference.

Speaker 25 (01:38:45):
Yeah, well, well.

Speaker 22 (01:38:45):
Four points it's very high, so yeah, pushes around a
little bit. O.

Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
Can you take care? Nice to hear from your twenty
six to eleven here Tel twelve 'ren to dipping, dipping, dipping, dip, dip,
dip dip. Texts are good if you've got them. Although
my text put my phone on my keyboard, that's what's done.
I didn't know that you can operate the text machine
from your keyboard, did you know that? Dan Well, I've

(01:39:16):
just put my phone on or went mental? Marcus. The
old hold in HQ's had the foot pedal to dip
your headlights. Valiants were the best for lights on and
off fullbeam. The switch on the floor was turned on
off with the left foot. Marcus. Who entered Tenny Swim's
concert last night. It was amazing as Ben and backup
singer is brilliant, pretty good music and chatting to the audience.
It seems like a chat. He seems like a gas bag,

(01:39:38):
seems like he's loving it. When gave Matty j from
our sister station, is it what's his name, Matt McLain.
He's not Maddy Jays. He Matt McLain. Maddy McLain. He
got a tattoo tattoo on his handful crumb what do
you call that? But the rest not the handful crum

(01:40:04):
foot tips? What car had the weirdest dip configuration. That's
probably a topic for tonight. I feel like we want
to start talking about when Repey who erupted again? That
was probably where it got good. Get in touch Hittle
twelve or parking meters, Oh, Marcus. I think the problem

(01:40:26):
with dipping lights is I have a new car and
as auto lights they have resided dip. I have to
override them. Chrissy, thanks for that, Chrissy. Hello, Matt, this
is Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:40:34):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:40:37):
Sort of get in on the dipping lights.

Speaker 6 (01:40:39):
Check right.

Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
You My truck's got and you can actually dip your lights?
Are they? I mean chelt them to different angles? Must
be to do off the loads you're carrying, maybe for
when I first jumped and I didn't know you could
do it, and I was wondering why everyone was splashing
you all the time. And you know, if I can
actually aim them down a bit more, I can't see

(01:41:01):
as well. But a bit of a compromise, is he
much playing?

Speaker 22 (01:41:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:41:08):
They go down four levels. In the fourth one that's
almost like only ten meters in front of you, which
probably you've got to know or something. But the l
e ed park lights are also very bright and people
flesh me all the time, and I have to flash
them back saying, look, I end up you cut it out,

(01:41:30):
you know. But it's just one of those things that
I've got used to.

Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
What sort of truck is it?

Speaker 4 (01:41:37):
S U D used to be missing? Oh yeah, about
four years old now and six hundred thousand caves. Really
that's normal.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
We do a lot of case are you finding a
lot of people on the right aren't tipping?

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Yep, it's like it's definitely said. Everyone behind us thinks
that we can't see because we've got a big bum
or something. But yeah, but I've done that until I
try not to. But the onond with the light bars
that are behind us, I'm like, I'll get you with
my light bar when you pass me.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
The grown up the grown up thing is to not respond.

Speaker 4 (01:42:18):
I'm not growing up, but okay, I'll remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Yeah, I try, and I try and be serene on
the road. Although there was some stupid person driving from
Bluff to that sixty ks tourists camberven and weaving, which
is fine, but there are a lot of cars behind them.
I thought, well, you know, you need to know that,
you need to know that what you're doing is not acceptable.

(01:42:46):
Marcus should driving with lights on during the debut and
using road code rule as it's done in the Northern Hemisphere. No,
I don't think so, Evening Sharky.

Speaker 16 (01:42:55):
Day.

Speaker 22 (01:42:56):
I just want to reiterate what the lights coming from.
When you get them in the mirror of these shuts,
the shot they just you know, people don't.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
Dip their lights, so you're getting a double blasted from
each side for those twol mirrors, aren't you.

Speaker 22 (01:43:18):
Yeah, well you think we're.

Speaker 20 (01:43:19):
Up in big tracks.

Speaker 22 (01:43:20):
You know, I'm gonna well to know I'm in a Volvo.
But the mirrors are quite loud, and you're get at
both sights when they're coming for you. But what I
normally do is when they go past meet most of
the trucks of drive got those light racks on the top,

(01:43:41):
normally leave their mind for a while once it's passed me.

Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
It's a bit spiteful, just.

Speaker 22 (01:43:49):
Really just to let them know maybe they just their
lights Lesia triven a truck, You wouldn't know how how
much of an a feat they can actually have on
your I side.

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
So it's worse than a passenger.

Speaker 22 (01:44:05):
Oh wait, we're but you know it's even more worse.
It's when people come on and on red and you're
going down the motorway and you try and slow down
so he didn't get in front of you, and then
they slow right down before you.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
Love that. I love doing that. Shaky, I'm joking. I'm joking. Anyway,
do come through now. I thought people would turn the
other cheek when it comes to driving not do not
do the revenge the revenge flesh. I don't know if
that's the answer.

Speaker 14 (01:44:43):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Anyway, get in touch if you want to talk. Marcus
till midnight. Eight hundred and eighty to eighty The Revenge Blast, GeV. Welcome,
good mate, A good thanks, GeV.

Speaker 19 (01:45:04):
Yeah, I was on road today in the track. I
took it all on the road to do a field
test in it. Yep, it was kind of on dusks.
The best thing to do with a large object on
the road is make sure that they can see you.
Keep left, yeah, and get out of there way.

Speaker 3 (01:45:29):
So what happened to you?

Speaker 7 (01:45:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:45:31):
So yeah, sorry, I carry on.

back of it, but it was it was a great journey.
We took it down there did a few figure rights
in that. It's one of those pivot steer John Deere tractors.
And it's actually fifty years old this year.

Speaker 9 (01:45:59):
Wow, I believe it or not.

Speaker 3 (01:46:02):
I do believe it.

Speaker 19 (01:46:03):
Oh, it's true because it's been packed up for thirteen
years with no injured in it. And you know I
was telling you about the bulldogs to Germany. Yes, yes,
so the money I got off the German and the
Duchy is funded the resurrection of this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:46:26):

I suppose you're just going to look at talk to
old people about tractors, were you?

In fact it was nineteen ninety seven and then we
went to buy tractors when you couldn't buy tractors in New.

Speaker 12 (01:48:40):
Zealand back then.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
To be there.

Speaker 3 (01:48:44):
What we what we're buying.

Speaker 19 (01:48:47):
We went looking for tractors because there were no tractors
available in New Zealand.

Speaker 15 (01:48:51):
At the time.

Speaker 3 (01:48:52):
On Mondnee what brand like old Ones, anything?

Speaker 19 (01:48:56):
Because in nineteen ninety eight it was like this, the
beginning of the rebirth of New Zealand. Okay, before that
it was quite crippled. So you couldn't buy decentrators because
people were scared to buy them because you're giving them
money to buy anything.

Speaker 15 (01:49:14):
Easy.

Speaker 3 (01:49:15):
Okay, I'm gonna leave it there, but that might be
strue for the other night, but thank you. I'll try
to tried a few ends together that call. I'd like
to talk more about flawed dips. Someone says, when a
car is getting AI headlights, that's a good question. My
dad told me, if you can't see the side whereas
on the truck in front, then that driver can't see.
Oh that's yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
We know about that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:35):
Marcus. The new Mitsu Busy Eclipse Cross has aught about
it feature for high and low beam. It's not as
good at recognizing a vehicle when you approach from behind
the lights around our high beam. It's not always good
at dipping when driving towards traffic either, I'll stopped using
this feature now. Jeannette, here's an interesting text. I'm sorry
I missed it, but what model? Care did that guy about?

Speaker 25 (01:49:54):
Nar?

Speaker 3 (01:49:54):
I go say, brought and how much do you pay? Please?
Thanks muchly, Lindy. Clearly Lindy's trying to offload one. Do
you past six grand? Dan? Go back and find the call.
I couldn't could believe a god could be such an
old car you planned to be. I just don't think
how far through the conversation he said what his car was?

(01:50:15):
There was at the front of it, wasn't it. I'm
pretty sure it was six grand. Anyone out there and
listen to and remember how much he paid for it?
There'd we got on the quiz. I think it was
six grand, or maybe it did six hundred thousand.

Speaker 14 (01:50:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:50:34):
Yeah, let's really paid eighteen hundred, but it's his own car.
Is gonna be he's not gonna yeah, well he's he
going to get a grand for it. By the way,
Kiera Kittley is going to play Kate in the biopic.
Don't know why someone sent me photos of it, but
that's quite good. Eighteen hundred seems reasonable. Now getting ready

(01:50:58):
for the hour of power. We've finished our sweepstake on
the Nobel Prize. Boy oh boy, the Daily Mail has
gone very big on that story, with men on the
Moon sized headlines. Donald Trump is snubbed by Nobel Peace
Prize judges, US presidents achieves are ignored despite breaking peace

(01:51:19):
in Gazarre Gaza. So we are showing for next year
if the peace holds. That's the big question. I suppose,
by the way I predicted that in last year's predictions,
it was the last year's predictions. This year's our pret
Trump would win the Peace Prize. So what were my
other predictions? Trump to win the Peace Prize. Round the

(01:51:39):
Bay is canceled, Luxenstein and Crocs Coronation Street ends Greyhound
racing band on one for five is that it are
the Russell McCaul goes back to Russell, Pacific garbage Patch

(01:51:59):
catches fire Profound, that Freemason's built the Pyramids. Spice Girls
go on global tour and I see that posh By
sayce she will rejoin them. I think there was some
scuttle but about that. And Dick van Dyke to make
it to one hundred. I think his birthdays next month

(01:52:19):
isn't it December thirteenth. I suspect he was a terrible actor,
was he? Dick van Dyke? Was he terrible? And Triti
City Bang Bang? So I hammed it up a bit,
didn't he? Like an old Voordeville type? Oh you should
criticize a guy that's one hundred says a bad actor.

(01:52:40):
But I just wonder if he was any good. I
don't know, I don't know what other What else did
Dick van Dyke do?

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
Put him?

Speaker 22 (01:52:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Yeah, Mary Poppins, that's right, But I don't have to.
I think I think once he too and done. I
think once in Mary Poppin's and Tridigity Bang when that
was about it, wasn't it? We did a night at
the museum that's right own. TV showed it quite a lot. Actually,
if it never stopped working, there we go. So one
of the great actors of our time. Yep, it had

(01:53:20):
a bottle where the he had the wobbly book too sober?
How many years sober is he? When you get sober sober?
Since nineteen seventy two, fifty three years it's not a
bad run. In the heavy smoke of most of his
adult life. Wow, and still alive. It's not bad, is
it when you have when you drunk as much as

(01:53:41):
you want smoke, you're still alive at one hundred cheapest.
I didn't know that. And he's saying tanditionally being being
with Pentatonics. That's the band that people always go on
about for little drummer Boy par upper rum pum.

Speaker 15 (01:53:59):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:53:59):
I think probably get two out of my ten predictions
are right, which is not a very good record. Here'll
twelve be a part of it. Oh eight, one hundred
and eighty eight nine text if you want to come
through ron dipping. Dipping's more popular than parking meters. Weir,
you can't pick this crowd. Here's a question for you people.

(01:54:21):
And that just goes to show who's paying attention because
someone's texted me right and says, could you set in
an argument? Please? Marcus? Can you set in an argument?
What was last night's main topic? Please? That's from Pam,

(01:54:41):
who'd be having an argument now? Who remembers what last
night's topic was? I literally have no idea, and I
was just going to think of if I remember it
last night, I would have come to work. We had
three or four things going around in my head would
have started with a soft topic and thrown down the
king took topic about twenty five to nine. Got no

(01:55:10):
idea what it was? We think? Was it about cars?
Was about crumpets? Could someone tell me what last night's
main topic was. I think Trumpet's kicked it in the
last hour. I think who I spoke to? What was about?

(01:55:33):
No recollection? I think they know text that through because
that would be of interest. It was last night's show
about people. Got no recall of it at all. It
was one of those Bits and Bobby shows. I think,

(01:55:54):
don't tell me Dan, but if you know what it was,
text me people evening.

Speaker 6 (01:55:59):
John, Are you doing Marcus? Yes, always wondered Marcus. What's
with the.

Speaker 15 (01:59:19):
It was website? I think in two thousand twenty three
the Warriors started their breathing after they scored a try.

Speaker 3 (01:59:26):
You know, because I think I can remember the All
Blacks doing it, seems earlier. I can't even remember they'd

But you seem you seem to know more about it.

Speaker 15 (01:59:35):

Good on you on Canadian Goose last night. That's right,
and please Peel can storm me in what's going on? John?

(02:03:38):
This is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 8 (02:03:41):
Hi.

Speaker 22 (02:03:41):
How are you to see me?

Speaker 6 (02:03:42):
Good?

Speaker 8 (02:03:43):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (02:03:43):
John?

Speaker 22 (02:03:44):
Okay, Hey, I just I'm a truck driver about the
night work, and just one of the things that I've
started doing is when I see emergency services approaching, I'm
having those high bay expression on a few times. What
it does is it causes the traffic that's coming towards me,
So I wonder what's going on over look around seedis
the ambulance behind them? And get able to play those

(02:04:08):
ambulance boys, those are firemen and the policemen. They all
give a big wave out because they can clear the
motorway for them and they could just get it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:16):
So yeah, So you've got cars coming towards you and
the embleence behind them coming towards you.

Speaker 22 (02:04:22):
That's right. So have you flash your lights then? I
mean anyone can do it, truck or car. It just
causes people to wonder what's going on and have a
look around them and didn't see that there's an ambulance
or whatever behind them, And either that or they don't
and then they see everybody else, even o we're into
the left plane and wonder what's going around around them,
and yeah, it just it just frees up the motorways.

Speaker 3 (02:04:44):
Always a bad feeling when you look at your rear
vision and there's an embdence right behind you and you
haven't noticed that. You feel a bit guilty.

Speaker 22 (02:04:51):
Yeah, well, I mean they give it all the time.
They have to slow right down and wait for people
to get out of the way.

Speaker 3 (02:04:56):
How fast can they go?

Speaker 22 (02:04:59):
I think I think there's a limit. I think it's
like twinty're.

Speaker 3 (02:05:02):
Thirty over, I'd be one. I think it'll be one
twin one thirty. That's what I was suspecting.

Speaker 22 (02:05:09):
Yeah, that's frustrating when they've got their life and they're
only going to speed. God.

Speaker 3 (02:05:16):
Yeah, oh that's good advice. I appreciate you through with that, John,
There we go. So what do you want to say
about that? Hittle twelve My name is Marcus. Welcome but
da da Steeden gym from twelve cricket score. I said
there was a maiden there before thirty nine for three.

(02:05:39):
We're not pretty good at this. Well, our divines on
out after that Golden Duck thirty nine for three. It's
a weird tournament to play every team. Maybe it's a
bit a tournament that way. Get in touch people here
till twelve, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine

(02:06:00):
two text Yeah, where's I thought it was about?

Speaker 7 (02:06:07):
E Y?

Speaker 3 (02:06:08):
Been watching a guy walk across Australia. He's I don't
know what he's doing it for mental health, for youth
or something. But he's got himself a trolley he's pulling
across Australia. He's quite a charismatic sort of a unit
and she looks like hard going. He's got a lot

(02:06:30):
of stuff on it because he's got droned and shots
for his Instagram posts. So he's going on roads on
the way to the middle of Australia. He's going three
days without seeing a car. It's quite good. But I
tell you what's the name of the ACCOUNTEXTU? I found
it quite interesting. Oh I can't haven't got a phone.

(02:06:51):
I've ost phone somewhere. I'll tell you next to that
next night. But g G had saying she's a dry
country Australia. You forget how orange or redd it is
in the middle. It's unbelievable. While we're telling you that,
Oh just I was thinking about Australia, those small towns
coming across a band in wool sheds in the middle

(02:07:12):
of nowhere always reminds me of those movies. This will
be for a bit of nostalgia to some of you,
with those movies about Australia that they used to come
and show in New Zealand. And there was that family
that was always doing those films about the outback. Before
we'd even seen these Shot to the Outback. It was
pretty extraordinary. You might remember those anyway, you do getting

(02:07:36):
touched you On Talks twenty past eleven, we're talking money
about dipping lights and oh, parking meters. A. People seem
to be quite happy with the modern parking meters. I
kind of picked that up from Australia A from a
British story that people over there are sick of the
parking meters, but doesn't seem to be the case here.

(02:07:57):
And there is a new ice cream shop opened in
christ Church called Duck River. It's from Hamilton. The UK
drivers are facing headaches now. They've been left little option
but to use parking apps rather than tap and pay
with their bank cards or coins. Many councils have removed

(02:08:19):
pain display machines from their car parks and told drives
youse smartphone apps and steed to save money the other
that's a bit far fetched. I don't know which are
the ones in new Zeend are demanding a user app.
I'm up for the discussion, Dave. This is Marcus. Welcome, Marcus,
Good things, Dave.

Speaker 28 (02:08:39):
Often on transport are moving progressively to requiring an app
and having no meters.

Speaker 14 (02:08:47):
Yeah, and if you were to google it.

Speaker 28 (02:08:51):
There's a journalist or consumer nz. He parked in Auckland
and he put a photograph of where he parked. There's
the white line at the start, there's the white line
at the end, not a single sign anywhere around. And
he got a parking ticket. You could not pay to
be in that park except for using an app. But

(02:09:12):
there wasn't even a paid parking sign there. There was
just the white lines on the ground.

Speaker 3 (02:09:18):
How do the apps work, Dave.

Speaker 12 (02:09:21):
Big your pardon?

Speaker 3 (02:09:22):
How do the apps work?

Speaker 5 (02:09:25):
Are the you register?

Speaker 28 (02:09:27):
So you go on to at park, you register your name,
you put your credit card in, then you use the
map to find out what parking zone you're in. You
enter the number plate of your car and you start parking,
and it's actually cheaper to use the app than it
was to use the pay and displayed meter. And while
you're in a meeting, if you need to top up

(02:09:49):
your app extend you're parking, you can. When you finish,
you just go stop parking and it builds it to
the minute, whereas the meet you had to guess, am
I going to be there for one hour or two hours?
Then the parking meter car comes along with the cameras
all around it. And if you're in a parking spot
without having proof of payment on their system, do you

(02:10:10):
get a ticket?

Speaker 3 (02:10:12):
Do you have to actually find out the number of
the car space you're in?

Speaker 28 (02:10:16):
No, it's not individual spaces at zone So main Street
might be zone one and sub main Street might be
zone two. So if you parking you were in Main
Street and you enter that you're in parking area one.
You're good to park in that area away you go.

Speaker 3 (02:10:34):
Do you know what the charges are in Auckland at
the moment for parking.

Speaker 28 (02:10:38):
Between two ears an hour, depending on whether you're in
a premium high demand spot. I also went into a
car parking building in Auckland City and I couldn't find
anywhere to pay, and I thought it was Wilson Parking
used the app, and I just found it such a
nightmare to talk about old fart syndrome that I couldn't

(02:11:00):
put my credit card in and do my number plate.
The app kept giving me errors, flashing back screens that
never got done. So I looked all around the building
and finally, right down on the bottom, I found a
machine where I could pay. Otherwise I was going to
cop a parking fine because the app was faulty. Well,
I was having trouble.

Speaker 14 (02:11:18):
Work in it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:21):
I wonder about all these councils of money into those
actual computer terminals when they seem already to have been
kind of made redundant, haven't they, I would.

Speaker 12 (02:11:30):
Say they are.

Speaker 28 (02:11:31):
There's talking about older generation who want to use physical
cash still and don't want to use a debit card
or a slight card. But now you're talking about people
who don't want to use a debit card and want
to use an app. And say you've got a push
button phone that can't go onto the internet, so you're
totaled into Timaru. The big sign says you've got to

(02:11:53):
pay on app at ABC dot com and you're scratching.
How do I get on the internet?

Speaker 14 (02:11:58):
How do I pay for it?

Speaker 28 (02:12:00):
What if I only want to be the edges for
a couple of hours to get a coffee and I'm
off in Vcago somewhere exciting Marcus, that type of thing.
And but yeah, I think it's it seems very efficient
to have a parking sign saying to use an online
service and not coin operated meters or paid slave stations,

(02:12:20):
except for that segment of society that apps are a problem.

Speaker 3 (02:12:25):
Yeah, that makes sense. But I think people will be
panicked about that because yeah, no wonder they're strugging with
the machines.

Speaker 1 (02:12:30):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:12:30):
If it goes that way, they have a real problem.
Thanks for that, Dave, Hi, Bruce Marcus.

Speaker 8 (02:12:34):
Welcome Marcus, first time caller. Yeah, just want over a
yeck about old Donald Trump and all his crew. Sure, yeah,
I'm having a laugh about it. Actually, you got turned
down on his Nobel Peace price. I have a good

(02:12:59):
laugh about that one.

Speaker 3 (02:13:02):
It looks like he's pretty keen to get it next year.

Speaker 8 (02:13:07):
He needs a good kick in the bloody backside. He's
unrealistic about what's going on. He's a look at the trouble.
He's causing in his own country.

Speaker 3 (02:13:18):
Yeah, well, Warret, that seems to be what they say
Warret Homan piece abroad.

Speaker 8 (02:13:24):
Yeah, well this one had a laugh about it, but
I'm more worried about the FDI being in our country. Out.

Speaker 3 (02:13:31):
That was weird, wasn't all of that was weird? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:13:35):
And then they had two Style lifters come into the country. Oh,
what's going on there?

Speaker 3 (02:13:42):
No, I think the Star Lifters were bringing the kit
