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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be will that be me? Welcome? And good evening
money missus Marcus? How are you eight past eight on
a Thursday? It's the Thursday free for all. I hope
it's good where you are tonight. Yeah, but apatsch you
weather come up the country, that's good. I don't know
what they call it spring. It's more like a warm winter.
It's more like a warm weather winter, isn't it? Rains

(00:31):
and rains and rains. Any who, hope you've got the
two things that cheered me up today. Robert Irwin on
Dancing with the Stars. Very good. They are the Australian Condessians,
the Iwins. They do it all. Go and watch that.
That's revitalized that series. By the way, here's something you
might know. Put this on the quiz there Dan the coustion.

(00:53):
You forgot Dan's name there for sec Isn't that terrible?
Now he is on Dancing with the Stars, Robert Irwin.
But the bit that's the take, Homer, is it the
right word is? It's the thirty fourth season in the
States of Dancing with the Stars. So there we go.

(01:15):
The other thing I enjoyed reading about today was the
zoo in Rotterdam. Every time I say Rotterdam, I think
of that song that was bigg in the late nineties
and Rotterdam for anyone, Rotterdam. Remember that song Rotterdam was
a banger in it Today do we still say bangers?
So the zoo in Rotterdam, right, the zoo in Rotterdam,

(01:36):
they've got gorillas right Rotterdam or anywhere, beautiful south. That
was the song. There's a zoo in Rotterdam, Rotterdam or anywhere.
And when you go to the zoo right, they give
you glasses. And on the glasses, on the outside of
the glasses are pictures of fake eyes, all looking to
the left. That's because the gorilla there at Rotterdam Zoo

(02:00):
gets freaked out by eye contact. An adorable story, durable.
So there we go. Let's Rotterdam. Whether you're the seu
with se the zoo with sideway glasses, yes, yes, gorillas
perceive eye contact directly is a threat or challenge, and
the glasses help to create a more relaxed and safer

(02:21):
environment by conceding the wearer's eyes. Why don't we have
that at Auckland Zoo where they're steering out they we've
got gorillas there. That's not good. Have we've got gorillas
Auckland Zoo? Are they goerrillas of New Zealand? Because if
we have got them, then I think we need those glasses.
If next time I go ever going up wear those glasses.
Are the gerrillas at Auckland Zoo? It's yes, since I've

(02:43):
been to Auckland Zoo. Too many people yelling at their kids.
But yeah, if you do want to tell me if
they got gorillas at Auckland Zoo, I don't know how
their primates are. Anyway, Thursday free for all like a
Friday free for but not quite as free. No, I
don't think Auckland Zoo has gorillas. Sell what lucks and

(03:05):
should do? You should bring it up some pandas I
reckon that might get the country off the redundancies and
the dire state of everything. That might be what they need.
But a pender diplomacy, just thinking out loud what I
call that sort of the sort of thinking. Anyway, Hey,
how's it all going? People? Welcome to the show Hitdle
twelve o'clock tonight, eleven past eight a lot of good

(03:28):
topics tonight. Something first and foremost I wouldn't mind talking
about to begin with. Firstly, Nelson not good. There nothing
good happening in Elson. It's rained and rained and rain.
And then it's redundancy, redundancy, redundancy. We've got another one today,
another factory, and Nelson is closing. Prosper sorry, proper crisps.

(03:51):
You know I reckon from with proper crispers. No one's
ever heard of them? Were do you ever send advert
for proper crisps? And what a stupid name for a chip?
Never ever heard of them? Never try them, never heard
of them, never sung the jingle I know bluebirds the
word with the penguins. Never heard of proper chips. Stupid name.

(04:16):
So anyone knows the thing? Are they recent? Thing? It
says in the pet craft in the Yarra Valley or
where's that? Sounds like an Australian place? Could someone tell
me the history of proper crisps? Never heard of it anyway,
So there we go. Oh, acquired by Griffins and twenty

(04:42):
twenty three. So if anything's anyone's got anything to say
about that, I've got no idea what that is. I
don't even know the A lot of potatoes and Nelson.
So if you want to talk about Nelson or proper crisps,
I wouldn't mind hearing from you. And that's the start
of topic for tonight. I'll tell you something that's good.
If you tried that freeze dried mango, Gosh, that's delicious,
isn't it? Keep that away from the adults. Marcus, we

(05:07):
should have those glasses from Rotterdam and Parliament. Lowell, Marcus,
your mama's a gorilla. Well that's charming, isn't it. What's
the first would send a text like that? My text
them back. I presume it's a man. I think I

(05:29):
feel like getting into a text war tonight because I
s any what happened and sends it heard of sends
radio that's like Radio Sport, the Australian version. There was
one of the hosts. They've got a host who's a
rugby league commentator, who's ay, who is gay, and he
was getting texts homophobic texts. Walked out, See how do

(05:50):
the company not protect me from rude text He's gone.
He told them to say, wellther they didn't do it.
He's a modern parable for your thirteen past day. Hello, Jocelyn,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Ah, hi Marcus. I'm just ringing up about those chips
you were talking about props. Yeah, yeah, you can buy
them on all the supermarkets here in Blenham. Yes, and
they're really nice, are they? Yeah? They are? I buy them.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Are they more like a designer up market crisp? Are
they No?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
They're in with all the other chips. Can say, have
them New World? Have them?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'm looking at them now. They appear to have a
sort of a a more boutique handmade looking packet to it.
Will that be fair to say?

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
But that's still they're still the same size as say
you're bluebirds or you know those crisps. They're still the
same sized bag, but that they're a lot fresher fresher,
and the actually really crisp.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
And they look rippleless. Is that right? They haven't got
the ridges?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
No, No, that they are like the chips used to
be years.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Like a kettle fry like without the ridges. They haven't gone.
And I don't know if it looks like they've got
very fine thin bits of potato, I'd probably like something
a bit thick about they're Okay, aren't they No.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Because I'm really fussy put my chips.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
What so what what flavor are you getting?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
I just get that. I think they're called just ordinary
salted ones. I've got a feeling. You can buy you
can buy other flavors, but I just sort of like
the plainest ones. Okay, you don't know what quite well,
they are really nice.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Brilliant, Okay, appreciate that. We're talking about proper Crisps. I
hate the design of the pack. I'm looking at that online.
They don't deserve to do well because so many different
types of fonts and different colors. It's the biggest muddle
of the pack. They need a new designer. I think
that's what they need. Someone to just tidy up the
whole range. They need a TV commercial also in a jingle,

(08:06):
proper Crisps on your lips. Yeah, yeah, here we go
something like that. Well better, Yeah, Michael, this is Marcus. Welcome,
Hello Marcus, Hello, Michael.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Hey, I'm just jump on the truck. You know who'd
you're talking about?

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Proper Crisp.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yes, they are, they're brilliant. They are very good.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Oh goo yeah, oh good.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
If they're a little oxensive, you know, they're about five
about I think you bought some last week five dollars
forty five for a packet.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Wow, because because it seems to be a chip, it
seems to be a chip on at the moment. A
lot of the chips are quite cheap.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Oh yeah, I mean it kind of chippy if you
want to free your people coming around.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh yes, I'm hearing you.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Know.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
The Sultan Vinegar. I tell you why anyone say that
they're they're not the best. They are very good. The
Sultan Vinegar.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Its side of vinegar and sea salt. So quite that
market kind of thing going on there.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Isn't it. And and it's a great shame you're producing
for saying that they're looking at movie Portlands, the Nelson
there they've head enough. Yeah, the the closure of the
of the sawmill. Uh, don't need a don't need the
proper crist going up to up and up to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
And the peanut butter guy sold out to the Australians.
Next peanut butter, that's not good.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
That's the only the only peanut butter of my wife
we will eat.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
So yeah, the next it will be nassy stuff. Is
there an advertisement for proper christ about them? No, you
just just tried them in the store, did you?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
There is no you know you've got old bluebirds, the
word whatever it is and that. But I haven't actually
seen a kick.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
And that kicker CHANGI guy going on in this about
his chips isn't there? But you never hear about proper
cresps market.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Here we go, Why don't we get people to basically
come up with the jingle for proper crusts tonight?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I don't know if I really want to feel like
who owns Griffin's? I think there's some multi has probably
owned my craft or something, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
For the it's not like a small bougie niche niche
chip maker. I think it's like quite a multinational. But
were you what you are driving, Michael?

Speaker 5 (10:33):
I am indeed, yep, I'm driving tonight. I'm picking up milk.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh goodness and a tanker.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
I am indeed shout out towards the drivers are out
there both North Islands South Island.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Are you allowed to eat in your truck?

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yes, like I'm going to. I'll put my my breecher
partner into it.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
He's a little missy ah wow. So yeah, so listening,
So one trick, one truck is driving by two people.
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (11:13):
You share it three three three.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Three drivers, because for nine months of the year the
truck goes twenty four seven one on. So on my
night shift of this is my shift, and then after
a least three days off and then the person who's
had the person who's had three days off start the
day shift, and the person who's on day shift now

(11:35):
goes into night shift tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Does that make Yeah, it makes the perfect sense. And
where are you where's the depot? You're taking it to
a tarcica?

Speaker 5 (11:43):
No atually going into Darfield?

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, and you get far away from there? How do
you go north or south from there?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Or west?

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Look at our territory for Darfielder's probably well, we go
as far south as Tomoka, down the Candy Boy, We
go to far north as kai Kora. We even go
over to Springs Junction. We're going to have some farms
over in Murchison. We go the angly voice they go
up to right up to Queen Charlotte.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Sound, oh okay, have you have you seen any side
of those fires in Canterbury today?

Speaker 9 (12:21):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Any side of the fires are they still burning or
you're not not in your part.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
I do know they've been burning there just off the
Springfield has stepped a little further west of Darfield. But
I didn't see any smoke, and the factory still sitting,
is still standing, so I guess yeah, we haven't got
too close.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Thanks Michael, twenty past eight, eight hundred and eighty to
the text. We're talking crisps, no doubt, keep it going.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
We have got gorillas and he's in there at around
a park and there was a guy who was a
wizard called Andrew Wright. He was banned from the park
for chanting and chest beating at the gorillas. That's weird ay.
But what Irana, Because let's face it, Irana Park hasn't
a good publicy late. They want to get into those
sideways looking glasses. That'd be great for them. They'd be

(13:14):
saying to the audience that work here about animals. That'd
be every good thing. So I've enjoyed that thank you,
thank you, thank you. Texts. They're coming through loud and strong.
Someone says, why is it? I always love an email
that starts with why is it? Why is it all
the time? When gull petrol has a sale on petrol.
They always seen to put the price up the night before.

(13:36):
They're not my provider teeming down here in BALI all
be bringing a few bags of proper criss back with
me when I visit the film into September, the Sea
Salt ones disappeared with Kiwi onion or French onion. Dip
heartlandships are the best wavy style chip in my view.
And then the email about the guerrillas, which I've enjoyed. Yes,

(14:03):
Andrew Wright, a self proclaimed wizard and energy healer. He
was there in twenty fifteen banging his chest and getting banned.
It's where, isn't it Marcus. I love those chips. We
get them delivered to us at helly Is Home. Love
them great show regards Mike h I see what you

(14:24):
did that done there, Marcus. When Proper chips were launched
some years ago, Hewet Humphrey voiced the advertisement. Goodness, I'll
see what the guy from Lalita but that's that's not
him as it or hear it helped the old newsreader. Yes,

(14:44):
potatoes are grown in the Nelson region, with spud Monday
marking the start of the local planting season and local
businesses like Love Spuds at the Nelson farmers Market and
Proper Crisps, demonstrating the area's connection to potato cultivation. Although
Nelson is in a primary commercial growing region, computed places
like Candy individual and Business cultivate. They've paid potatoes if

(15:07):
for personal use and market sales. Marcus Proper Cristo of
real Nice. The only ones I can have is I'm
allergic to potatoes. And the night Shade family another thing
I'll miss out on again at mary Or I think.
Don't think they're gone Bung. They just moved to Walkland,
but the factory is now owned by Griffins and based
in Australia. It's quite a complicated story. There's a lot

(15:32):
of forces going on there. It's not just the young
people moving to Australia. The businesses are going there also.
And I think they're with Picks peanut butter. I think
they've sold to Australia. Were about to get in touch
if you want to, my name is Marcus. Welcome oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and to text if
you do want to come through, I'll read you the

(15:53):
article a bit better. I've just got to relog onto
my website. Ah, drudgery crisps. Ah can you send me
the article?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Could I've just asked you for a password. I don't
know what it is? Stupid old the press. Oh wait
at eight twenty six past day, Keep those texts going, people, Marcus,
did you notice on arrival Trump, Prince William and the
King all wore ties that matched the color of their
respective wives outfit and hats. Yes, Melania hasn't taken her

(16:29):
hat off, and the Daily Mail said that because she's avoiding.
Everyone looked at it like that. Marcus, we could get
those glasses to the referees for Saturday's all black game.
Brilliant text of the night so far. Love something about
the referees always God love it when they do that.

(16:55):
Now he's a story of proper crisps. The Pattnionship Company,
which is owned by Griffins, signaled to propose closure it's
Nelson factory and Stoke in late twenty twenty seven. We're
going to bring all our savory snack manufacturing together at
a witty site in Auckland, eighty two roles from Nelson

(17:21):
when it could be affected. The Nelson Proper Chris Company
employed sixty five and twenty five tons of potato a day,
so Eves Valley Sawmill's gone, Sea Lord's gone. It's not
good next Smith. The messes is punch drunk with the

(17:42):
bad news. We'll probably should give the job to someone
a bit younger. Actually, there would be my take on
that one. Proper Crisps was launched in two thousand and
seven when English couple Stuart and Catherine Franklin decided news
anyone's been short changed in the chris market. They set
up the business in a small food factory at Upper Mutli.

(18:02):
Was then sold to Mina Wookie Smith and need Smith
in twenty eleven and became one of the fastest growing
snack business in New Zealand with its product of supermarkets
around the country In twenty twenty two, Proper Crystal open
efactory and year in Melbourne after Australian sales doubled in
twenty twenty one. It was a cried by Griffins in

(18:25):
twenty twenty three. Now I don't know if Griffins is
still a New Zeland company or if that's part of
a multi national situation. Now I can tell you a
bit about that. Oh, it's currently a New Zealand food company.
There you go, it's still in the company. It's still
in New Zealand.

Speaker 10 (18:40):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh that's good to know. Feel a bit better about
that now.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh no.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Since ninety sexy tw Griffins have been known by several companies,
including Thebisco to Non Pacific equity partners in Universal Robina. Okay,
so it is international now, there we go. It's all happening.
A lot to learn about tonight. It was originally a
Nelson factory though. By the way, btw, I'm exhausted with
all news coming at me, with the depression and the

(19:12):
recession and all of that. Any who. The other thing
that I do to it this first hour is the
price of seasoned passes for Canterbury supporters to go to
the rugby. To a story that's broken today broken. There's
a forty percent price hike for tickets to the rugby

(19:33):
at the new stadium, which I don't get at all,
But surely there's a much greater capacity for that stadium,
which would mean their income stream would be a lot greater.
What I don't know is how much they pay match
day to rent that stadium compared to what they're playing
at the old one and there's nothing in the article

(19:54):
that talks about that. But family memberships were tripling from
five hundred and fifty dollars to fourteen hundred dollars. So
people are furious, and of course some of the posts
on Facebook are pretty one eyed. Someone said, we are

(20:16):
fortunate to have the best rugby team in the world.
They have the best set up and a cannaby out there.
It doesn't come cheap, but yeah, there we go, so
very very expensive to go to rugby now in Canterbury.
Do you think that actually sort of bring the price
right down when there's the people of Canterbary that are
paying for that stadium, aren't they half of it? The

(20:37):
textpayer's pulling up some of the money, but jeepers, they're
paying twice. So have you been following that story? Let
me know about that. That's the Canterburry story of the day.
Crusaders fans are questioning the layalty after price for the
next season it revealed a forty percent increase that the
new stadium. You've got to comment on that to be

(20:57):
great to hear. Also, proper Crisps, I have seen the
Kumra ones but sweet for me, but I know people
are allergic to the what do you say the daily
night shade family is some people avoid everything to do
with potatoes and tomatoes. I think they're related. Just got

(21:18):
back to the carf to getting caught at a hailstoore
with my dog. Thought you'd want to know whereabouts are you?
Milania's hat looked like a lamp shade. It was the
heart of bad manners to We're inside while having the
tour with Camilla Marcus fun fact Bluebird Factories only two
k's away from the Eater chip factory. At times they

(21:38):
share the same potatoes depending on quality. There we go.
I knew people would be loving the story with the
royals and trump. Oh inneed and it's hailing fore heavily
need your calls down twenty seven to nine. My name
is Marcus Hittle twelve. But the price for the rugby
in Canterbury tripled for the family pass. But how much

(22:02):
are the rugby union in christ Church paying to rent
that site each match? We got that information? Will that
be top secret? Do let me know if you're into that.
Ooh twenty four or twenty six, twenty six from nine
with it till twelve. By the way, Robert Erwin's picked
third by the bookies to a American Dancing with the Stars.

(22:23):
The favorites Jordan Charles, who is an Olympic gymnast. Here
you go with a gymnast, wouldn't you? They'd be winning that,
although I think probably he's charming that young Marcus Happy Thursday. Marcus.
I'm a season at rugby ticket holder in christ Church.
I'm more than happy to pay the new price given
much better facilities, also better parking to get to and

(22:46):
from town well Worth at k that's Kaylee's thought. Your
thought of the price is tripling for the rugby, But
why would they justify it? They get more people in there,
wouldn't they? And I don't think they'll be paying more
to rent that. I mean, I think they pay a
normal amount to go to this. I mean rugby is
always subsidized by councils and stadiums. Isn't it a twenty

(23:06):
three to night? If there's something else you want to
mention tonight too, I kind of wouldn't mind getting into
a state of the nation discussing with the economy and
how it's affecting you. But it feels a bit sort
of heavy for Thursday. But if you're on you, if
you're pecking your bags and heading off to Australia, do
let me know because when was the last time we
had good news? Never? Wasn't this year?

Speaker 10 (23:29):
Was it?

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
The butt is still through the roof, So you've got
some information about that. Yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing from you.
Just yeah. I mean it's it wouldn't be much fun
being in government. I wouldn't think you'd wonder why you'd
wanted the job. It's my take on that one. So

(23:52):
he's taking a long time to turn around the economy.
In fact, they've turned it backwards. The cheapest ticket to
the cakedon last Saturday night I could get was one
hundred and ninety three dollars. Wow. It's a lot of money,
isn't it to see her? Soone should buy lowest a ticket.
It's a pretty low price to see a fairly poorly

(24:14):
performed team. Wow, you pay one hundred and ninety three
and you leave halfway through the second half, not you,
but people did. Godness, that's a lot, isn't it. That's
the cheapest ticket. You don't think you see more than
when you're on TV. It's a better watched on TV,
isn't it. That's my take looking forward to your comments

(24:35):
people twenty two to nine, these other stuff you want
to mention. So far we're talking about proper Crisps and
the fact that they've gone from Nelson and are they
any good anyway, and then we've gone down to talk
about the rugby prices for the next season at Canterbury
for the crow hang on, I think for the let
me just get this right. They it's for Crusaders tickets,

(25:00):
so for Super Rugby as opposed to the NPC. I
hope they sell it out. I don't think they will,
depends how the the rest of this year, if the
orbits go, I think whether people still have that love
of rugby. But yes, he till twelve. My name is Marcus.

(25:21):
Good evening, oh eight hundred and eighty. You've been it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening, Marcus, Amen, be good, thank you.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
I just got back from Wellington on on the Monday
and I went up there. Well it was for the
for the ABS, but it was also for the old
Man seven years but I'm talking about the ABS.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
And you went to the match, did you, Ben?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
I went to the.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
Game then and It's my second time of seeing the
orblicks and I took my kids, so you know, have
a have a bit of a don't know they have
the first you know they're in the what are they
twelve and twoteen and whatnot?

Speaker 12 (26:06):
Yep and but.

Speaker 11 (26:09):
Cheer man, what a what a First of all, hey,
back to what you're saying about TV. Watching on TV, Well,
I remember when you're watching it. I was sitting behind
the posts. And when you're sitting behind the posts, you
get to see how far these fellows are passing their ball,

(26:31):
and you get to see the lines that people carved,
like the South Africans carved us up and you see
the lines these guys are running and how far they
go and lift and how far they're going right and
then left again, and you get to see all that.
And that really that really got me is when it
comes to watching it on TV, you don't sort of

(26:52):
get that perspective, I suppose, but what a daunting time
markers walking out of their place. But you know, once
I've got over it, because they've only got one one
entry into the caked in and it's round obviously, and
we were right around the other side, and so we
had to finish the game and walk all the way

(27:13):
back around to the main gate. Now there's a lot
of people and all I could hear it and I'm
standing next to them, and you know, it's real slow
going because obviously Nana is up the front or Grandead
or somebody, and all you can hear is the towns.
These guys were singing. It was sort of like a
channel of that had the Afrikaans team. It sort of

(27:39):
crean cranberries, you know, you like.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Lingo, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had some lingo.

Speaker 11 (27:50):
They had some song going on and they were all
singing it and you can hear it coming from way
down front where you're walking away, up behind where you're
walking in right next to you. And that was the
most dauntingest time, Like it was just it was a gate.
But once you got over it and getting the monk
that you know, he had a team on the day.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Man, how much.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
How much for the tickets?

Speaker 11 (28:16):
Ninety we paid ninety three, ninety eight, But my uncle Sheldon, no, yeah, yeah,
every day because there was a day's seventieth, you know,
so it was his birthday. But no, there was sixty
six of us. I'm not going to say my last.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Name, because you know what, there's sixty six off.

Speaker 11 (28:34):
You, sixty six one two roads.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
It was funny.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
This sounds like a brilliant This sounds like a brilliant event.

Speaker 11 (28:44):
Oh I mean nah, he I've put this way. I
thought of my bloody card drove on my phone. But
there was a South African lady who decided to pick
a fight with my Auntie and she didn't realized that
my Auntie's sister was sitting next to her. And then
there was Auntie's kids and then the aunties uncle brothers,
and it was funny, but it was it was a

(29:08):
game I'll never forget and head top of the box.
But you're going to a live man.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
Just what it was?

Speaker 11 (29:15):
Bumped into Dane Colds, Oh God, rightfully, rightfully. So you know,
I remember staying to him because he and it was funny.
It was either this kid or one of his year
is hope. Yeah, I'm sure, pretty sure it was this kid,
and but nobody else was around here, and he's just chilling,
just leaning up against the pole. And I thought, yes,

(29:36):
and I saw Murray mixed did We was at dockside.
We got dropped off by the bus because we ended
up at some Italian restaurant for lunch in some Italian
place in Newton. And then we ended up getting on
the bus because we had the ticket, so you get

(29:58):
a pretty pass. It was a double dicad, so you know,
they come from christ here. I was like hell, and
so I had to sit out the top and uh,
we make it away. Next time we dropped at the
start of Courtney places, you know, and we walked all
the way down towards the end of the year. Next thing,
we're on the waterfront. I think I stopped at every bar.

(30:19):
Half the bars didn't give my money because they wanted
a fifteen minute wait for the bloody bees. But South
Africans everywhere and all that exports. But what's with the
South African supporters who have these jusies and half them
are black and half them are green. Pick make your
mind that it's like people on the way around Olive's

(30:40):
bloody clothing and camouflash.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Hang on, Ben, I'd rather South African support in South Africa.
I don't want them to support us in a petronizing way.
That's crazy. Take a side, Ben, I've got a run,
But nice to talk to you. I appreciate you enthusias
and everything you've said. I'll put a light under all
of it. Sure see, it's just Marcus. I went to
the rugby for a party with sixty six of a family.

(31:07):
So sad to hear proper crisps closing down in Nelson.
They're definitely the best chips. Nelson has been hit so
hard this year with so many business I wish I
didn't call them crisps. Seems a very British thing. I
don't like it. The chips fifteen to nine bring your

(31:28):
breaking news when it happens. People all across this do
get in touch. You want to talk eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty If you want to text, it's nine
two nine two Puller, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (31:46):
Yeah, can you yummy?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Loud and Claire Buller thanks for coming through.

Speaker 14 (31:51):
Yeah you you had a previous call it just now
and you guys were complaining about half springbook half half
all black jerseys. Yes can you You don't know why
the guys are.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Wearing it, no no idea.

Speaker 14 (32:06):
That's that's mostly people that's in New Zealand residents now
or New Zealand citizens, and they feel still still obliged
to support the spring Box, but they like the All
Blacks as well, and.

Speaker 13 (32:21):
As soon as the All.

Speaker 14 (32:22):
Blacks doesn't play the spring Box, then they support the
All Blacks.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Oh no, I think that's just with a Springbok jersey.
Shouldn't that seems it seems like it seems a bit
what's the right word for it, seems a bit soft.
I think New Zealanders would appreciate so AFRI continues even
more if they still support their home team.

Speaker 14 (32:45):
No, No, that's that's that's your opinion.

Speaker 13 (32:48):
Of the people.

Speaker 14 (32:50):
When I'm in the country now for nineteen years, but
ninety nine percent of the people will ask or do
you still support the spring Box? And I'm not really
a rugbid guy, but I will say yes. And they said,
but you're in a new country now, you're supposed to support.

Speaker 13 (33:05):
The All Blacks.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, no, you're not. You support your country where you
come from. That's that's fact.

Speaker 14 (33:11):
That's exactly, That's exactly my opinion.

Speaker 15 (33:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well and mind too. That's what I'm saying is you
stick with the team that you grew up with. You
don't that's wishy washy to go another country and pick
another team for sports about loyalty.

Speaker 14 (33:25):
Well, basically, yes, sports is about loyalty, but you'll be
surprised to know how many people that stays in South Africa,
especially the Cape Province area, that is just supporting the
all blacks. They don't want to do anything. They don't
want to have anything to do with the Springbok.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Team because why.

Speaker 14 (33:45):
Okay, this this goes way back into history because of
all the racism and everything that was in in South
African sports and u And it's not only black people
or colored people that supporting.

Speaker 12 (33:59):
The all blacks.

Speaker 16 (33:59):
There's a lot of white people that's.

Speaker 14 (34:01):
Just supporting the all blacks and they don't want to
have anything to do with it.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I understand. Okay, well now, and then that's that.

Speaker 14 (34:09):
Was that's that's coming way back from the eighties and
nineties because of all the racism that was in South
Africa because of the sports and the black people weren't
allowed to participate in in the national sports.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Who's putting out the jerseys that are half black and
half South Africa. Is it like a New Zealand company
doing it or is it something that they get from?
Where do they get those?

Speaker 14 (34:32):
I'm not quite sure. I think like like mostly everything
has been made in China. You you can go to
South Africa or even to Australia and you you will
get half Australian and half South African jerseys, or half
Australian and half Tivy Tivy jerseys.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Okay, but you don't. You haven't got one.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
No, I haven't.

Speaker 14 (34:53):
I haven't even got a Springbok shirt. I haven't got
I've got an all black cap yet. And the funny
thing is the all black cap that I've got. Jonah
Lomo bought me that cup on the on the Auckland airport.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Nice, tell me that story, Tell me that story. How'd
that happen?

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Well?

Speaker 14 (35:14):
I was about to fly out to South Africa because
I still had property there, and I had a long
story anyway, and I was in the all black shop
and I was looking at all these different caps that
I wanted to buy, mostly to annoy the people in
South Africa when I go there, and because I had
to go there for seven months. And then I was

(35:37):
looking at all the caps and the guy said to me,
you want to buy a cap? And I said yeah,
and he said what about this one? And I had
a look at it, and I've never seen such a
cap because It wasn't your your typical baseball type of cap.
It was a soft material cap and I said, oh, yeah,
that will be nice. And when I looked up it
was Jono and he said, oh, you can have it

(35:59):
on my tap.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
What a story like it? Well, thanks so much for that.
Eight away from nine three topics are already going Proper crisps.
Proper crisps. A lot to say there. It's a mouthful.
Tickets to the Crusaders tripled in price. Stop to get

(36:20):
people back into rugby?

Speaker 15 (36:21):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
What was the third thing? Oh, and people that support
half and half you pick a side. I'm with Ben
on that one. Don't want to offend their I was
just the point I went to rugby. I forget, always
forget why the end of the cargo it's called Rugby
Park for the match against Counties and the guy that

(36:46):
sells the South African sausages weren't there wasn't There's the
whole thing I've planned on what food I was going
to have. I was appalled anyway by the way I've
now found out that the a couple of the Stags
aren't playing next weekause they behave too badly before the
match last night or last last sunner. That's why they
lost so badly. Cheapest creepers. So oh well, I don't

(37:06):
know what they've been doing, but good on them anyway.
M you'll never get fresh chips from Bluebird after cooking
tick and vevement into packaging. All chips are stored in
a Bluebird warehouse for weeks of rotation before load. And
tractor retailers. I used to work for them, We saw
Bluebird were pretty good. Marcus. Greatness is night driving topwater

(37:27):
Parmeston or Stead of the nation? Ted sad mate, big
national voter, but agree it's time for Nicola Wells to
turn up or bug her off. We're in trouble. I
have no doubt we'll climb out of it. Keep up
the great work, chairs e. But yeah, how much pain
until we do? Oh? It's just endless and none of

(37:48):
the talks positive. I could come along and talk it up,
but you know they'd be dishonest. We're all struggling. Be
a part of your Talkettil twelve, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty No good ah, fidget spinner? What happened to

(38:10):
fidget spinners? By the way? Gone out there? No one
who cares about that anymore. Thought they'd be here forever.
Jump and if you want to talk or keep our
doing with the news around the world tonight y yep?
Or the Taliban have banned the internet. Seems progressive, doesn't it?
If anyone can the Teliban can plane full of passages

(38:35):
left circling after air traffic controller falls asleep. Wow, oh, well,
as you do what it's like to be in air traffic?
Remember that movie Pushington the air traffic control move? Very good,
very good, very good. One of the greats Billy Bob

(39:00):
Thornton was it rate film? Who By the way, with
our predictions that will be revealed in the first show
of next year, and no one predicted Willis to be
sacked as Finance minister, but one person has her down
to become prime minister. I'd say both would be an
even bet at the stage a what do you reckon?

(39:23):
One day? Soon we'll do a bit of a rejigger.
Where's that Peter guy gone? I can't Pete. I feel
like i'veing an hour of Peter's We've got that many
of them, Marcus the other night, you want to know
who's going to lose their job first? Raiser or lux
and you can add Willis now thank you for that.
They're rex what accounting or financial qualification is Nicola Willis

(39:48):
obtained and running the country's economy things, Barry, I think
Nicola Willis has got a hes. She in English. I'll
quickly look that up. People, what you're talking about willis
d didyd didy oh blah blah blah. Now she worked

(40:19):
at Wally Bagels and Thornton. I can't see what a
degrees ex doesn't say. English literature victory invests at PA
anyme doesn't matter, but not I don't think it's it's
it is English. So first class honors degree in English

(40:41):
literature from Victoria University. So to be honest, by the
sound of things, there you go. Nine past nine. Now
we are talking about the price of rugby tickets because
it's tripled for Crusader matches for a family pass to
the new stadium in christ Church, which seems unfair to me.
We're also talking about Proper Crisps, the company now they're
closing down in Nelson and now moving to Widdy, which

(41:02):
doesn't really empower you. When it becomes to a food brea,
it's just a re industrial area. So that's a shame.
So Nelson's had the triple blow, Sandford's the twoy mill,
and now the proper Crisps. What's left? I suppose it's
a lot of orchards. I don't know what they're big.
Perhaps their big manufacturing place would be, or the food

(41:22):
production place would be. I think Picks peanut butter is
still there, but I think they did sell or they've
got part o now by the Australian company Marcus. When
the two big snack providers agree on price, a Bluebird
pound of chips could get almost twenty five cents per
big bag sold compared to what your patch shop. It's
an easy example of big markups Marcus. We have a

(41:46):
government and prime minister more interested in rock conscience even
park than having a rock star economy. Alf you Plymouth,
Thank you, alf alf the mouth. How's your hay fever going? People?
I reckon it's related to El Nino and La Nina.
I'm not a hay fever person. Touch would I be
curious today your story is around that?

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, she's a She's a curse for some, isn't it.
It's a real uh, it's a real cross to be
Hey fever, Peter, Marcus, Welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 17 (42:24):
Good even to your listeners, Marcus. When the stadium has
got the green light down here in christ dur It,
we all knew the prices would increase. It only makes
sense to increase it because the stadium was.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Only hang on, who's paid for.

Speaker 17 (42:40):
It, Well, the city council and proper part of the government.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
So the rate payers are paying for it. And now
you're going to pay more to go there.

Speaker 17 (42:51):
Well you expected, don't you know?

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Because listen, well I don't because I don't know how
much the Canterburry Rugby Union pays to rent out the
old facility in this facility because I thought it's probably
just a peppercorn rental.

Speaker 17 (43:04):
I wouldn't know. I don't know.

Speaker 15 (43:05):
That's but you means you'd.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Be the same in each one, wouldn't.

Speaker 17 (43:08):
It, Well, one would hope. So, but I can tell
you now, the Polo Stadium was temporary and it's pretty
dark and bloody cold, damp place. This one's going to
be quite good, Okay, be cold there.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
So you're saying they're just you're saying they're just charging
more because people be prepared to pay it. That seems
that seems wrought to me.

Speaker 17 (43:33):
Yeah, but don't forget a covered stadium and across door to.

Speaker 15 (43:36):
Put it up.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, but you've paid for it.

Speaker 17 (43:40):
The same thing happened to need and they all moaned
about it, but they still fill it.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Well not really. They don't get rugby matches, they don't
get anything else.

Speaker 17 (43:48):
No, they get the old concert.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
They have in a concert for years, and we're going.

Speaker 17 (43:52):
To get a few concerts here apparently.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah, I thought you guys would be more up in
arms about that. I'm surprised. Are you someone that will
go to it?

Speaker 14 (43:59):
Peter, Oh, I'll go.

Speaker 17 (44:02):
I won't go to the first couple of weeks because
I'm thinking it'll be a sally out crowd.

Speaker 18 (44:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (44:06):
When they got the the I'm not in favor of
the super where they put the whole all the teams
together because the first two.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
That's crazy, like a magic round, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 17 (44:19):
Yeah, that's the way I'm trying to think of.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, yeah, no one, No one wants a magic round
because you've got teams playing with no home crowd. Well exactly,
that's a dim idea. It works in league because that's different.
But yeah, I think it's crazy.

Speaker 17 (44:34):
Yeah, I agree with you there, but no, we all
expected it. And John McDonald did a survey this morning
and seventy five percent of them are quite happy with it.
As they said, you know, you got the choice whether
you go or not and my choices.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Why why are you people in christ it's so reasonable.

Speaker 17 (44:58):
There's a lot against it. I will be sure about
that because I was at someone's place seventh lunch and
we had John McDonald lawn and a lot of the
callers weren't happy with her, but there's quite a few
that were.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Okay, brilliant fourt in past nine Oh wait eighty e's
a email from Jasins National Cabinet government. Somebody companies have
either gone backward or closed down. Yeah, I don't know
what the economic miracle is going to be for us. Wow,
it's just how we don't get foot in mouth or
some dearly thing to our export sector. And I still

(45:35):
love our logs. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten
eighty Rugby crist I can't believe you guys are happy
with this. Oh well, and prosper chips and hayfever anyone
suffered badly from hay fever? And how do you come.
I think this is the hay fever season, is it?
They're going to deal with the winds and where they
come from. If there's rain and if it's dry, winds

(45:56):
in the al Nina of the laar Nina terrible for
hay fever. So I'll be curious to know how it's
going for the hay fever season and what you do
to cope. Can you do a version therapy or diversion
therapy what do they call it? But with winter conditions

(46:16):
it's not as bad. So that's in the topic list
for tonight. Get in touch Marcus. Till twelve, we never
talked about hay fever. I kind of had to hate.
I kind of never thought it was a real thing.
Actually I probably always thought, oh well, but no, it
seems to be. By the way, New Zeland rear stamp

(46:40):
has gone up for auction two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
It's worth it's got like top or upside down, a
four penny stamp used with top or upside down. You
wouldn't think many people would still collect stamps. Was brigand

(47:00):
it to day, wasn't it? Stamp collecking you'd send away
and you get sent whole envelopes of them that you
have to choose then send money in. It was always
problematic with not returning the money. Get in touch Hittle
twelve and then one on the topic. If anyone's thinking
about that, I'll be curious enough if people are going
to this Hot Wheels concert, it's indo need and then

(47:22):
I think it goes to Auckland. I spoke to the
children about that. I said, you want to go to
the Hot Wheel's content, I'm up for anything. They said,
why would we? They said, speak to such and such
as family. They won't say the name of the family,
but they were the ones that we seem as though
they were keen. It's at Forsyth Bar this weekend. A
half million trek has to be laid in the stadium.

(47:45):
There you go, nearly sold out. I might go up
on Sunday myself for it. Actually, I don't want to
go by the way school holidays start. I think school
holy start to I think teachers only day and strikes tomorrow.
Jack Marcus, welcome, Hey.

Speaker 6 (48:01):
Marcus, has a go good Thank you.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Jack.

Speaker 19 (48:04):
Just one of the chat about the shot building in
the north Central North Island and to see if you
had any thoughts on it's been closed now for who
I think it's three years now, since twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I see there's a bit of action. Is there a
petition about that?

Speaker 15 (48:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (48:19):
I think the mayor has said that he wants someone
to pay for it, to fix it, because it's such
a beautiful old building, but this government's not willing to
not willing to phony up, and so it's just sitting
there kind of collecting dust.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Isn't it a symbol of time's gone past? And probably
let I mean, if it can't, if it's not financially sustainable,
then what's the point of it.

Speaker 19 (48:45):
Yeah, I wonder. I don't have a strong opinion.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yeah, no, yeah, I mean, and it's been on the
it's been on the decline for a long time, has it.
We stayed there about ten twelve years ago? Was terrible.

Speaker 9 (48:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (48:58):
I went there maybe twenty twenty years ago to do
the Tonga crossing and thought it was you know, it
was quite special. But it is weird that that Hampton
has just kind of got a ghost blooming over it,
that there's no skiing anymore. That building is just sitting
there idol and it's not a great look.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Could I imagine that? Yeah, because no one wanted to
buy it, did they? No one internationally wanted to buy
it because it's an earthquake risk. Is that right?

Speaker 19 (49:24):
It was owned by a Malaysian company and then the
Malaysian company had a they made a right over it,
and then they gave it up. So now it's owned
by MPI. I think that it's how it's played out.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
And I presume I presume it's on dockland, is it?

Speaker 19 (49:38):
Yeah, it's on dock lands. Of the restrictions around what
they can and can't do, which is the same for
the Skipper.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
It's a shame, isn't it.

Speaker 19 (49:49):
It is a shame. It's a beautiful building. I mean,
it's probably the most iconic building in New Zealand, so
maybe maybe the sky Tower.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
But and yeah, and it's not wooden too, unlike a
lot of buildings at that time that were built out
of what it is brick? Isn't it brick? And is
it brick and stone?

Speaker 19 (50:06):
Definitely brick, I'm not sure of stone, but definitely it's
a brick structure and it's part of a bigger complex.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Also, yeah, I am, I mean, I can't even think
of a use that it could be used for, because
certainly Queenstown's going gangbusters for the skis and those sorts
of people. They have the money to go there. It
seems to be Queenstown and Auckland. I don't know what's

(50:37):
where those high dollar tourists who would who would be
there that want? You know, I think it needs a
different probably function to make money, and I don't know
what that function is.

Speaker 9 (50:47):
Well.

Speaker 19 (50:47):
One of the problems I think the AAD is down
South they can go mountain biking in summer, whereas the
rules around repaying me and you can't go mountain biking there,
So I can't if you can't see there because there's
no snow, and you can't go hunting biking, which is
what they do in the South Island to get it
all year around economy.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
But it'd be pretty nice base for walking though. I mean,
people seem to love that now.

Speaker 11 (51:10):
Yeah, I would have thought.

Speaker 19 (51:11):
So there's just quite slight rules around what you can
I can't do on that.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Yeah, okay, yeah, thanks for raising it, Jack, I appreciate
you call. Twenty past nine texts texts, there are sixteen
clothing stores closing and using in Jude our economy, Marcus,
the GDP numbers, you can see the impact of the terrace.
With manufacturing down three point five percent. The cost of
manufacturing this country is through the roof due to the

(51:37):
cost of labor and product costs. Look at what he's pitches, Marcus,
hey fever terrible time at present. Doctor, put me onto
the new spray, demistera, which has been a godsend. Die,
mister hay fever bad and Nelson, I have to wake up.
And when you take a pill in a nasal spray,
then eyeedrops fetching eyes of tissues on hand the itchy throat.

(52:02):
Apart from that, I love my life ter emoji cheirs Debra,
because it's really can come all of a sudden when
you have never suffered all your life by experience. It
hasn't been too bad this year. But here's the money
saving tip for any one spending heaps on one of
the bigs tell Fast tablets. The same medication is now
fully funded. Instead of paying for Telfast thirty eight ninety

(52:23):
for thirty tabs, you can get hey Fixo twenty seven
ninety for seventy tabs half price. Oh listen that tell
faster dollar at twenty nine per tablet, Hey fixo, thirty
nine cents per tablet. Hey Fixo. It's a great name
for it, Hey fixo talking Hey Fever and the Chateau

(52:46):
or having a chadow at the hay Fever, Hey Fever
at the Shadow. Maybe forty one past nine. I'll get
in touch if you want to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome.
How are you going people? What's happening hey fever? We
want to talk about hay fever something I don't really
I always thought it was slightly imagined, but clearly it's not.
From the text I'm getting. You might want to say
something about that. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty Teddy

(53:09):
nineteen nine, Two Ticks and the Chateau. There's a myriad
of topics tonight. So the bad news about the economy
that was out today going backwards. They haven't turned around.
It's going it seems to be going backwards, So you
might want to mention that also tonight. I don't know
when it's going to get better. Actually, it seems to
what people are wondering about. A lot of people are leaving.
In the last couple of weeks. I'm hearing all those

(53:29):
stories about people the unemployed and how hard that's been.
Particularly these days you get a thousand people applying for
jobs online and you don't hear back. So yeah, there
we go. Hey fever, what's it called? Hey fixo? That's
your answer, Hey fixo. Also talking about the Canterbury people
having to pay that big money for the Crusaders to

(53:51):
go the tickets, it's tripled the family paths And I
don't know why you've paid for that stadium. You think
it would be the same price, but I think we
need to know what And I've got no idea how
much Rugby teams play the youth stadiums. That's why I'd
be really curious to find out. But if you know
anything about that, because then you could work out if

(54:13):
they are just gouging or there's got much higher costs.
But people, according to that last guy, seem to think, well,
if it's a better stadium, they're happy to pay more,
even though they've paid for it themselves. There's something different
you want to check into the next tonight. Good up
for it, totally be a part of it. Eight hundred

(54:36):
and eighty ten eighty at twenty six past nine here

Gav Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (56:19):
Oh yeah, good point that you just said about voting
on the local elections.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Yeah, what was the point.

Speaker 7 (56:25):
Well, it's a good point that you've raised.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Yeah, about voting early.

Speaker 7 (56:30):
Yeah, and voting in council.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Yeah, good on you.

Speaker 7 (56:35):
Yeah, you're right generally speaking.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Well, people need to engage a bit more, don't they.
It's easy to moan.

Speaker 7 (56:41):
Mm hmm if you don't know what you're moaning about.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Yep, that's right. You need to get engaged. Quite hard
to find out what happens in council now because the
local papers don't cover much anymore and no one seems
to be buying them.

Speaker 7 (56:55):
Well, there is no papers anymore.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
No, Well, I don't know where are you.

Speaker 18 (57:00):
And Weston and where.

Speaker 7 (57:04):
Osmea?

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Oh you christ Canterbury, Yeah, Canterbury.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
I just don't read the paper, the local one. It's
all just most of it's not local news.

Speaker 7 (57:19):
The point is about the voting.

Speaker 10 (57:22):
What are you voting for?

Speaker 7 (57:23):
And does anyone even rarely know, well.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
You're voting for your counselors. It's normally the same ones
that have been there forever.

Speaker 7 (57:32):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 10 (57:33):
You're ricky.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
I think you want to vote for a bit of
a refresh, normally get some new blood in there.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 7 (57:41):
And there's all this apparently I'm and being told is
there's trolling.

Speaker 16 (57:49):
On the others?

Speaker 10 (57:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Yeah, well there's what trolling?

Speaker 7 (57:53):
Trolling?

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah, I don't know about that, but avoid that. Hey
tell me something. Are you near where the fires are
in Canterbury?

Speaker 18 (58:01):
Yeah, not too far away.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Have you seen them?

Speaker 7 (58:05):
Yeah, I've seen the smoke.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Is this still smoke now? Or they've gone down?

Speaker 7 (58:09):
No, they've got it well contained with them. It's about
thirty six year. Look where a bunch of stumps have
been wrapped up.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Yeah, okay, the news gave. I've got to run, but
nice to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (58:22):

Speaker 21 (58:57):
Yeah, yeah, I was just stringing up to say I've
just I know you were talking about like because I've
got under the car and switched on the radio and
who are you talking about it? So I've just been
at an a meet the candidates meeting.

Speaker 9 (59:14):
John and.

Speaker 10 (59:18):
Albany and.

Speaker 21 (59:20):
The Upper Harbor area of Awkorn.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Has Aucklin got award system?

Speaker 10 (59:24):
Has it?

Speaker 4 (59:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (59:27):
That was the council spread and the wards and it's
got local boards for the areas, some of which are
subdivided or subdivisions of them, and some of them cover
quite large areas. So I'm actually standing in a in
a local board area that covers from West Habor and

(59:52):
West Upham if you like, So you're you're standing, I'm
actually standing.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Oh good. So you've you've been at the old merrist
rugby club today, have you?

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
That's right?

Speaker 20 (01:00:05):
Well, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:00:08):
How did how did you know there was a marriage
ringum baron and in christ You should need or something.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
We don't think we've got facial recognition cameras everywhere. We
know where people are going. John, we've got to report
up from you. I've just googled it quickly. John, all right,
I'm an in vert Cargill, So so you'll go what's
your surname?

Speaker 20 (01:00:31):
Oh yeah, John.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Riddell, And you're going for.

Speaker 21 (01:00:38):
I'm standing for the Upper Harbor Local Board and also
the y Eker Licensing Trust, the Lincoln Morn.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Goodness, I've still got licensing trusts.

Speaker 21 (01:00:48):
Yep, we have, haven't you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
It's probably all poke money? Is is it poke money
or is it booze money for the Licensing Trust there?

Speaker 21 (01:00:58):
Well, both substantially pokey money. But it's all drying up.
It's all all beginning to change because licensing boards closing down,
kevins are closing down, people are buying their liquord differently,
so things inevitably will change, but not a revolution.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
To.

Speaker 22 (01:01:22):
Be fair.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
To be fair, the Licensing Trust in West talk and
they haven't really built the sort of places that people
would want to go to, have they.

Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
I think they have.

Speaker 21 (01:01:33):
A fast changing beast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Yeah well yeah, well I mean there's certainly been a
yeah okay, well I beg to differ on that. But
the experiences I've come across and we're stalking the licensing
Trust place always been shocking. Is that black salt one?
Is it Newland? Is it one of theirs?

Speaker 20 (01:01:49):
That's a new one?

Speaker 21 (01:01:50):
So that's portage license terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Anyway, Hey, were there many people tuning up for the
Cannate meeting.

Speaker 20 (01:01:58):
It was good.

Speaker 21 (01:01:59):
That was one of the first comments I made that
there were more more people from the public and the
audience if you liked and there were candidates.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
How many people were in the public.

Speaker 21 (01:02:10):
I not said properly, forty to fifty plus.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Yeah, I've been to three candidates. I've into three candidate
meetings and there was probably twenty people at each.

Speaker 21 (01:02:27):
Wow, what as candidates or candidate ten?

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Ten candidates, twenty members of the public or more probably
partners of candidates. So it's people aren't really engaging with
the campaign.

Speaker 21 (01:02:41):
Yeah, then that's going to happen in Auklam because we
haven't got a mirror contest.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
No, well, which is a worry anyway.

Speaker 21 (01:02:50):
The thing that's going to generate interests in Aucklam is
the speedway. Yeah, save the speedway campaign as general, That's
that's the issue I think that people are.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
Going to vote on.

Speaker 21 (01:03:05):
Yes, there are key issues.

Speaker 10 (01:03:07):
Other important issues.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
What's the mess speedway? I think is what's the merest
position on the speedway?

Speaker 21 (01:03:14):
Well, he's against the speedway, if you might. He thinks
it should go to wik Iraka Park, which is.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
A wrong move.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
So how can people vote, vote vote for if you
say he's a cakewalkback and how are people going to
vote for him and also support the speedway at Western Springs?

Speaker 18 (01:03:33):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Is it in the water system you need to vote for.

Speaker 21 (01:03:38):
There's at least eleven counselors are standing who supports speedway,
and they're the people who identified as being pro speedway.
And there's a number of local board members like myself.
I'm I'm involved in motorsport.

Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
Actually who.

Speaker 21 (01:03:56):
Retaining the speedway.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
At Western spring It's got to happen.

Speaker 21 (01:04:00):
Yeah, it's got to stay otherwise it'll disappear for good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Okay, I'll let you go, John, But nice to talk
to you too. That windscreen was annoying, wasn't it. If
I was running for council, I'd pull over in tim
a windscreen off. That would be the first thing I'd do.
But anyway, I'll mean windscreen wipers twenty four to ten.
Welcome here, how are you, what's happening?

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Fever and everything else? And local body candidates. It seems
we got tonight. The difference in the price of our
color is stupid compared to the North Shore and West Auckland.
Last year we moved to Auckland from Hawks Base, so
we're still getting ut to the Auckland weather, traffic and geography.
I've never done this before, so I'm seeking on advice.
When is the best time to sew lorn seeds and
how to stop birds are eating the seeds. Marcus sad

(01:04:49):
and up will be an hour longer, not shorter. Kevin Marcus, Welcome, Hello.

Speaker 9 (01:05:00):
Marcus got good listen to your show. But I've got
something along with it. I've been thinking about it for
a long time. I'm just you know, you know, the
mayors of a means of Napier and the means are
all these mes here. I'm just wondering why do they have,

(01:05:21):
what does what does the mayor do?

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
And I'm just.

Speaker 9 (01:05:24):
Wondering if we if we need to reduce rates right okay,
because apparently there's so much hierarchy, why can't we Just
because I've been listed on I've been watching the news
you've got a mirror by time, you've got a mirror

(01:05:45):
of feeling. You got mirror this second minor of everywhere,
and that is said to be everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Well, I suppose all the separate towns have the separate
water supply, separate sewage, separate pipes, all that sort of stuff.
So you do need that to be sort of. It's
probably appropriate that there are areas you don't do anything.

Speaker 9 (01:06:07):
They don't physically do anything. And I'm thinking more about
like consolidating. You have rugby unions. Right, you've got Canterbury,
you've got South lond you've got a Hawk's Bay, you've
got mom and you you've got Tesmond.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
I can't.

Speaker 7 (01:06:26):
It's like the health boards don't cut it down.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
I can't. If you want to say, I think, I
think there is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
I think there is talk of amalgamation.

Speaker 23 (01:06:35):
Oh get get rid of all these mis and all this.
No one gets cars or anything. You go to work,
you get there by yourself. If you want to go
to work, you get there by yourself. You don't get
a car. If you want to be a mere you
get there.

Speaker 9 (01:06:50):
Because I think have you have you voted?

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Have you voted Kevin.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:06:57):
I think it needs a big, big I have voted.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
You vote for.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Nick Smith? Are you Nelson?

Speaker 9 (01:07:06):
Ok No, that's what I want to get rid of
or no, no, no, no, sorry, no sorry, that was
the wrong thing to say. No is it a nice person?

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
But I can.

Speaker 9 (01:07:27):
I'm just a little bit concerned that people can give
out of parliament or do something and sit on the
I saw it a was fur on the packet all
he's got a big smiles and they do that and
I'm just concerned that. Okay, have but we can we
can cut the right pays money very substantially.

Speaker 23 (01:07:51):
By saying get rid of the get rid of that word.

Speaker 9 (01:07:54):
Mayor I reckon that comes from Robin Hood. Robin Hood
used to and that it's an old English term and
we don't need to carry it on this modern generation
if you know what I mean. Absolutely, But it's an
it's an old gen.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
You have to you have to run for a situation
you'd have to run for. You have to run for
counsel and try and devolve it. You know, you can't
just you can't just sit outside and criticize it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
No, no, but no, I'm just.

Speaker 9 (01:08:24):
Trying to get people thinking about it, because no, no,
I don't need to run for anything like that. Now,
I'm just trying to get people that understand what the
mirror role is. The last remember then in theocacle was
all done to the chair bolt.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Right, bigger pad?

Speaker 9 (01:08:42):
What did you say, don't shipball incacle?

Speaker 4 (01:08:45):
What about him?

Speaker 9 (01:08:47):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (01:08:47):
He was one of the old classical means then cl
you know, yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 9 (01:08:55):
He had a character with him. But I think it's time, honestly,
the younger generation here, My children are going up there
in the thirties and I think, what the hell's are
mare for a mir as a horse? You know, we
don't And what's the okay, what are the female? Is

(01:09:20):
it a mayor? Is what do you call a lady?
That's a mayor?

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
It's called a mayor?

Speaker 9 (01:09:26):
And still a mare? Okay, right, okay, Well I think
we can if they want to reduce rates, they can
actually eliminate them in a malgam the councils into like
the same thing as rugby teams.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Jane Kevin, thank you for that. Sixteen to ten. Oh,
I'll get in touch. You want to be a part
of the show. Fourteen to ten? Hello, Timmmet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:09:55):
Yeah, you can aveing Marcus. Yeah, so that last call
was interesting. Yeah, the smiling mayor. I can't be done
with that. I went to Bookie and I had a
leaflet dropped through my letterbox. I think it was yesterday.

(01:10:17):
It clearly states on the note of the sign authorized
past only. But that's okay. So it sort of sparked
my interest, and I will now endeavor to find out
more about all of the candidates that are running and
see what they're made of and what they can do.

Speaker 24 (01:10:36):
It's interesting in that book.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
It's interesting they've only dropped something in the mailbox now
because I'm sure half the people have already voted.

Speaker 10 (01:10:44):
Well, that's the thing. And I mean I've I've made
it to be fair, I've only just become aware of it.
But then I don't watch Taly. I listened to the station.
That's it. And so I haven't been exposed to like

(01:11:04):
hoardings or anything like that. I honestly haven't. I get
around town a bit, but I haven't seen anyone advertising
themselves like they do. Yes, so yeah, I knew, Well
that wakes me. Tomorrow we'll see who's up for the
job and who wants to put themselves forward.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
So what are you going to do to What are
you going to do tomorrow?

Speaker 10 (01:11:23):
Tim, Well, I'm going to investigate winners. Have I missed out?
I hope I haven't missed out, because you know, I
think you've got to be involved.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
And how will we investigate your candidates?

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:11:42):
So, I guess seriously, I think I could do it
after the show's first and go online and see if
there's any advertising there that's not I guess I'll go
to the local library. That my idea of use. I'm
not sure if they're we're the council officers even around here.
Maybe it's back up in Tarana, Yeah, Wishton by a

(01:12:05):
cleaning district council. I guess so I would do my
best to find out and see who's running.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Give me your favorite report back and tell me what
you found. Ken Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:12:18):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:12:19):
I heard you're talking earlier about fidget spinners. Yes, now
I want to ask you. I have a political question
because I'm in this situation.

Speaker 10 (01:12:31):
If you were a.

Speaker 25 (01:12:31):
Quins host, a quiz show host, and you put up
a picture of a fidget spinner, and then when it
came to the answers, half of the room put down
finger spinner. Would you accept that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
No, that's what I think too, And I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
I don't think fidget spinner is a trademark. I've never
heard them called a finger spinner.

Speaker 25 (01:13:00):
No, but if you if you blable finger spinner, it
will bring up so.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
But then AI said.

Speaker 25 (01:13:11):
It's sometimes referred to as No.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
I would, I would if I was doing if I
was doing a quiz, I have nothing to do with AI.
Seeing online today there was a a quiz about the
shortest day on Venus and that was wrong. A I
put the wrong answer for that. And there was something
else actually that a I did the wrong. It was
quite interesting post today about this. Let me just bring
that up because it was a guy who's on online

(01:13:35):
was talking about a quizy organized and there were two questions. Yeah,
I've just got it here. What organ of the human
body produces insulin and at pancreas? And AI said it

(01:13:59):
was the liver and the other question and the other
question was what planet has the shortest day E spends
the fastest, which was Venus? But which is Jupiter? But
I said it was Venus.

Speaker 25 (01:14:20):
Well, I know if I'm generating questions myself, which I
I tried to do more so than you know, control
quiz websites. But I like to generate my own questions,
so when i'm fact checking it, I'll always go beyond
the Wikipedia usually.

Speaker 18 (01:14:43):
Who are you?

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Are you doing pub quizzes for yourself? Is that your
business or you're doing it for some fundraising thing?

Speaker 25 (01:14:48):
A little bit of both, okay, but but it's quite stressful.
The most stressful part of it is coming up with
good questions.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I'm sure it's incredibly labor intensive coming up with questions.

Speaker 25 (01:15:04):
Yes it is, and sure as hell's am astra. I'll
come up with a good question and then that night
it'll be on the chase.

Speaker 10 (01:15:13):
Just quite doing.

Speaker 25 (01:15:18):
That's made mynight, Yeah, and I think he jeez, I
hope they're not watching the Chase, but of course most
of them do because there is, but these like even
you know, with the greatest respect tonight to you that
I thought that Fidget has been the question which I've
already prepared for a quiz on presenting next week, and

(01:15:40):
I thought it was a great question because I know
they've gone out of favor, and I thought that will
that will catch a few people out and then you've
bought it up tonight. So to me, you know, it's
like it's I'm a magnet attracting questions on the media
that I've already.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Brilliant prepared and the quiz like to hear from your
ken and George you a lot. Thank you, save it
away from ten o'clock five from ten, Hello, Peter, this
is Marcus. Welcome evening.

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
Marcus Auckland has If you go to the Auckland Vote Auckland,
you click on the candidates and they'll give you a question.
Their the Auckland Council ask the candidates. You go to
the christ Church website for council. You will see a
video link at the bottom of each candidate's profile. It's

(01:16:33):
about two minutes worth. You can click on that. You
go to the regional council and christ Church it's on YouTube.
Click see that and about four percent of the people
in both Auckland and christ Church are voted. I'm running
for mare for both Auckland and christ Church.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
Peter Wakeman schepers, where are you domiciled?

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
I live in christ Church.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
How can it for Mayor of Auckland.

Speaker 6 (01:17:02):
Well, Auckland is where most apoliticians live and I'd like
the Reserve Bank to be directed by our politicians to
create free money to fund infrastructure, whether it's housing, counsel infrastructure,
in order to reduce rates, rather than buying it off
private bankers who create ninety eight percent of their money
from nowhere, and no economy is stored, and we need

(01:17:25):
the government to spend money to get everyone working again.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
What happens if you win both.

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
Well, there's a deputy mayor for both places.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
So you'll do if you've won both, you'll do both.

Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
Yes, But it's convincing the Prime Minister and Cabinet to
direct the Reserve Bank. And if achieve that, that will
be a great achievement because that will lower costs for
everyone and provide work. So that would be a great achievement.
Because the government is running rough shot over councils and
not really assisting, which they did under the depression. You're

(01:17:59):
using the Reserve Bank to create money and create work
and all that sort of stuff and infrastructure. And that's
the problem with council right up and down the country.
It is the money to pay for things. It's the
same as central government, so central government can dictate things
and the central government can replace councils with commissioners, so
the power is always in the central government and the

(01:18:22):
local councils are sort of responsible and it's very hard
to choose when you don't have a big money pot
and everyone's struggling with cost of living.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Did you attend the Maryor debate in Auckland.

Speaker 6 (01:18:33):
Yes, Simon Wilson was there. It was at the University
of Auckland and Wayne Brown didn't turn up in some
of the meetings that he was invited. I wasn't invited
because they just had two candidates, like last night in Auckland.
And the thing is it's very difficult to be treated

(01:18:55):
seriously because newspapers don't in Auckland, don't cover all candidates.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Anymore or solve the problem. Peter welcome. It's eight past ten.
Bit of a go around tonight about the local body election.
Surprisingly enough, I didn't know that was something that people
are going to be talking about tonight, so good, please
get through if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. The thing about the local body elections

(01:19:24):
is that it's a postal vote and it goes through
about six weeks now, So if that's something you want
to do. Go and vote, but you don't need to
wait till the twelfth. In fact, you can't. I think
the twelfth's too late. I think you're also going to
be worried about well, I don't know. Yeah, I think
you're gonna be a bit worried about the postal system also,

(01:19:46):
so I don't quite know how that works, but you
want to get them in early. Not many people vote.
Less than half of people vote, and everyone can vote.
You don't need to own a house obviously, if you
live there, you're in that area, you're eighteen, you can vote.
So really surprised how to explain people that, Oh, I
would you know, I do the but I can't vote. Well,

(01:20:07):
you can vote, so you just be careful of that.
Trump has arrived at Checkers, which is the country house
for the British Prime ministers. Looks like a nice old
stack that one nice brick building. So the mess of
helicopters picked him up from where he was and have
taken him there. Nice sign of Milani. I think she's

(01:20:30):
off with the women. She's off with Camilla and Kate.
That's the way they're going. But getting touched you on
talk the other things we're talking about to that is
the chateau. What would be a role for the shadow
that could be sustainable. I mean, a casino's not going
to work. Everyone's doing that online. I don't quite know

(01:20:51):
what's going to work for them. What's the way a
building in the middle of nowhere could make a lot
of money? Maybe a high end alcohol or drug rehab.
I don't fully know the answer, PEPs, there's no answer.
Perhaps it's a building that's done its dash. Of course,
it was a hospital during the war. I think it
was a sanatorium. But is this spectacular building? I just

(01:21:17):
don't know how you make it pay? Kristen, it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:21:20):
Welcome, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:21:23):
I would like to talk to mention about local body elections. Yes,
I'm an of the cargo and I've already voted yes
and yes, and I do enjoy the postal election.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
Uh.

Speaker 26 (01:21:42):
And I received my pamphlet and read all the candidates or.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Summaries.

Speaker 26 (01:21:56):
Yes, I was going to say pal and that's not
a very nice way to put things. But anyway, here
just really and that person who called him who said
something not very nice about our ex mere Tim shed Volt.

(01:22:17):
Tim shed Bolt was a very hard working near for
our city.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
I didn't catch what that guy had said.

Speaker 25 (01:22:24):
No, he wasn't very nice about what was what was
the word he used?

Speaker 26 (01:22:30):
Oh, I can't remember now, but I have to. I
just thought, no, you don't have to ring and say
he said, the smiling a smiling near.

Speaker 4 (01:22:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
I think that's fine. I thought that that's fine. He
was a smiling guy. I think that's a fine thing.
I wouldn't be too sensitive. I think. I think what
worries me is I went to the international airport and
there's a tiny sign there saying that's the Timmy Sharboy
Airport or the terminal. That's it. That's that's insulting that
it's Uh. He needs to he needs to be recognized
in a much greater way than v cargo.

Speaker 26 (01:23:01):
He will, he will, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
I don't think he will. Kristen, they've they've had three years.
They've done nothing. They've put up a sign which is
the size of a ruler.

Speaker 26 (01:23:10):
Oh well, anyway, I've already voted in voting.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
Well, thanks, October, I think thank you for that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. If you know what
I'm saying. Pete Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
So standing, Oh you're joking, Pete, Well go you get
putting your hand up. It's a lot of hard Well Pete,

Fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
That's you left score at fifteen.

Speaker 27 (01:25:09):
That's one yes, one yeah. On the way Tacklery here now,
Moody Ward, I'm a fighter.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
I know we're just say no instead of the word yes.

Speaker 27 (01:25:19):
Yeah, And that's what there's too much is going on
now on the councils. You've got to be you've got
to say no. And there's everybody's got the reasons, but
I just we're have with trouble here and you Plymouth,
we've over spent that budget. Too many projects going on
at one time and were well and truly over budgeted.
So we're in diet pretty bad. So we've got to
stop spinning and basically back to the.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
Basic Marcus, you put facilities the must first. Plus Oh
yeah that was that? Mean?

Speaker 4 (01:25:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
What you're looking at ettle profile you've got a few
typos and there.

Speaker 27 (01:25:54):
Yeah on my Yeah, well I'm doing I do. I
do it all myself, haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Yeah, it is my basic focus before we get back
to basics for the rate payers money and community needs
like water, sewerage, footpaths, and roads. The must first plus
basic facilities.

Speaker 27 (01:26:07):
Yeah, that's basically that's what we have to do.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
What does that mean? The must first?

Speaker 27 (01:26:12):
Well, that means like your sewer pipes, you know, your.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
Water, what they must be first, I think is what
you Okay.

Speaker 27 (01:26:19):
Yeah, maybe thanks to that mark because I can't really can't,
can't re write it now, but.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Oh, you'll be sure I would have given you an endorsement.

Speaker 27 (01:26:28):
So I'm just trying.

Speaker 11 (01:26:29):
It's hard work.

Speaker 27 (01:26:30):
But you all you're doing is like yourself. You're just
you're doing. You're hoping you're going to get in the
It's like a race, a race, horse race. You know,
you're one and three. You might have three good people,
so you're one out of three. That's my percingdage is
you've got three other good counsels.

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
You're one out of you.

Speaker 27 (01:26:45):
Street is going to get in, so you can't A
pretty slim.

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
Have you been to many candidate meetings.

Speaker 27 (01:26:51):
I'm going to all of them. Just been the one
today for two and a half out.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
Oh not really.

Speaker 27 (01:26:57):
We just basically just see what we're it's about. And
we had Christians and answer times and I just basically
what the thing Christians out of their hat? You know,
what do you reckon about your tear and what you
should do to get it going again?

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
And you're going to tidy up all those homeless people
around the bus. Stop yelling at people. It's a disaster.

Speaker 27 (01:27:19):
We've got a y m c A here, we're building
a bit of facility for them. But a lot of
that is you know, markets, it's a government thing. He
counts not social workers.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Yeah, but still, I mean they do they there's a
nice situation where you sold the tickets and everything there.
It's all abandoned. I hate to go to the museum
to buy them a bus ticket. The shocking.

Speaker 27 (01:27:38):
Yeah, it's a little bit of the they not if
you say, but it's all in pocket to landing. The
reason why they do that, it's all about cost.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Well, but no one will catch the bus. The kids
were terrified. There was a guy offers not yelling at
them was horrible.

Speaker 27 (01:27:54):
Yeah, that's why that's what I'm trying to get them
out of, the out of that area, because.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
Well, yeah, for people arriving by bus and getting abused,
it's not a good look, Pete. But yeah, anyway, good
luck with that. I should have all I can't. Sixteen
past ten, Kethy, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:28:11):
Hi, Hell are you mate?

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
I've got good hopes for you, Kathy.

Speaker 22 (01:28:14):
Well, I hope so well. You may you may not.
I've got a confession to make. I worked for the
Post Office, probably nineteen eighty seven or possibly nineteen ninety.
And this is a couple of years before Post was

(01:28:37):
deregulated and we got Telecom and New Zealand Post and
POSH Open whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
And then what's your confession.

Speaker 22 (01:28:47):
My confession is I processed the mail from through the
Frankie machine and we I had all this mail that
was pre stamped and I didn't realize and it was
a boat for boating and the matagal And once I

(01:29:10):
processed it all through the Frankie machine, the council couldn't
read them all because they were all jared together.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
They were thousands, they're all judged what.

Speaker 22 (01:29:22):
They were all jarred together. So once I put them
through the franking machine. You know how you get a
stamp years ago and they've got that black line through them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
Yeah, mister Wood said, they're all judged what.

Speaker 22 (01:29:37):
They were all they were all, but they were all
charged together.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
So when they opened that what year was to say?

Speaker 10 (01:29:45):
Read them?

Speaker 22 (01:29:46):
Nineteen eighty seven?

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
Jay? Okay, thanks for the confession. Eighteen past ten. Good evening,
even this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:29:54):
Yes, good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:29:56):
So I was just ringing up to just a bit
of a change of the subject, wondering why how a
Salvation Army store of our Salvation Armies closed down?

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
And how the shop?

Speaker 12 (01:30:10):
I think it's just like to help people out with
food and stuff. It's probably probably quite needed at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Yeah, I don't know anything about that. It's not the shop,
it's the actual. It's the actual, it's the place.

Speaker 11 (01:30:21):
They do it.

Speaker 8 (01:30:22):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
Well, I guess what.

Speaker 12 (01:30:24):
Yes, seems pretty empty at the moment, but i'd be
I'd be actually quite keen on helping getting it back
up and running if it was possible.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
I imagine it's probably a clothing shop though, is it?
If it was in the main street of how it right?

Speaker 12 (01:30:36):
No, it's just off you go through the roundabout off
to the right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Oh yeah, the how it community. See the year they
said in March that was closing.

Speaker 12 (01:30:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's the probably quite disappointing for quite
a few people.

Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
Maybe maybe they can't afford it when times are tough.

Speaker 12 (01:30:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's probably why it needs to reopen.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
That's what it's when they need today.

Speaker 12 (01:31:03):
Exactly, that's right. I'm quite willing to help out if
anybody he's out there that knows anything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
You don't know why. I don't know why that would
be shutting down. They've been there for thirty eight years.

Speaker 4 (01:31:16):
Yeah, exactly, a long time.

Speaker 25 (01:31:17):
Money.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
It's due to our work at the location becoming unsustainable.
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 4 (01:31:27):
No, neither do I.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
Okay, nice to hear from you. Thanks, thanks for that
bit of information. That's a question of Dan's quiz. What
you did Kathy Ring the in of the Cargo local
body elections? Ah flop eighty seven. It might have been
eve Pool, was it. I don't know what happened in

(01:31:53):
ninety eighty seven in Vicago lecture. We've got to look
at that, don't we. There don't have to be information
they see how many votes they won by I can't
see the results. I don't think it's in the quiz.
I don't know how we're going to do the quiz. Yeah,

(01:32:14):
if we put them on Facebook, if we post the questions,
people just google it. Some you can't google. Can you know?
That's the way it should be. What's this guy's name?
I'll vote f him for counsel. Peter Blewis, Pete Bwis. Yeah,
it got a lot to say. Not a huge fan
of punctuation, but that's probably good because he's got a
lot to say. Kathy, what a blow for you, Kathy?

(01:32:40):
Hey fever? The thing about hay fever we had there's
a brief topic, but people seem to it seems to
be very easily fixed with medication, doesn't it. That's what
people are saying. Hey fever was something they seemed to like. Well,
hey fixo. Now get in touch if you want to

(01:33:00):
be part of the show. Hittle twelve. Everyone, I'm watching
shots all night of Trump cavalcade and stuff. And as
people were parroting what I said earlier last night, you know,
the Brits have never seen pomp and ceremony like this.
It's extraordinary. This guy who's obviously easily flatted and they've
played right into his hands. They'll be annoydered. They don't

(01:33:22):
get a MESSI of tiff reduction. Yeah, I don't know
what more to say about that. And is that guy
every time we can with quiz questions the chase also
came up with it. Yep, so yes. And now he's
mentioned and met Sir Kiers Starmap and his wife. That's
his wife. Trump made a dig at Harry by praising

(01:33:47):
William as King Charles remarkable son. Well, that's right, not
a fan of Harry. Twenty five past ten Back through
the topics. I do a bit of a recap for tonight.
She's bits and Bobby. What we started with tonight was
the chips, proper crisps. They're made in Nelson. People seem
to love it. Was a British people came across and

(01:34:07):
they started in uppermot TOI and they made their chips,
and then they moved to Yarra and Australia and made
some there and now they sold to Gryffins, and Griffins
is now closing there Nelson factory and moving it to Auckland.
People are fond of the chips. They're like an upmarket
chip or a crisp as they call them, a different flavors,

(01:34:27):
kind of a boogie chip if you like. So they're
gone gone from Nelson. People seem to like that. I
don't know if they advertise on TV, but people seem
to like them. They seem to be Chip wars out there.
There's a lot of different brands. I'm not really a
Chip person, but people seem to love them, so there
we go. They've also talked about the fact that for
the Crusader's next section season and the new stadium, tickets

(01:34:48):
have gone up in price markedly. In fact, some have
tripled for a family pass. I don't know why. I mean,
I'd like wonder enough if the cost having the team
play there are that much more than they need to
because I'll be having a lot more place, so they
could sell a lot more tickets. Father Cantabria, I wouldn't
be hap with that. But there's so into their they's

(01:35:10):
so unto their team, they probably blinded. You're right, Pete
Buwis looks like he sounds yep, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 20 (01:35:30):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
He certainly hasn't put his profile statement through chet GPT
here's he most of them. He have you read some
of those? A lot of them are just straight written
by chet GPT. You can read it from a mile off. Oh,
get in touch. You want to be part of the
free for all tonight anything goes here til twelve, eight

(01:35:52):
hundred and eighty ten for joy having the BBC on
the night seeing all the shots of the helicopters and
Britain and summer. Oh yeah, so there we go. We're
going to recap all your topics. See what we're going.
So it started with the Chips, then we got onto
the then we got on to the Rugby and Canterbury.
Then we got onto what's with South African people that
wear the jerseys that are half all blacks and half

(01:36:13):
South Africans pick a side.

Speaker 18 (01:36:16):
So there's that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
Then I don't know what happened. Then we talked about
hay fever and the chateau. Then we've got into local
body elections. So really there's a lot of different topics
happening out there. But that's fine. There's breaking news. Will
bring that to if there's something you want to talk about. God,
I'm all here for it. People would be your favorite chip.
Don't like the word crisps. Interesting enough. There's different chips

(01:36:38):
in the South Island, which I never really realized. But
what I do like in a chip, if it's a
chip and dip, I like a rigid chip ting to
lose half the chip and the dip. That's always a
bad look. I don't like a corn chip much. Don't
like the dusty get on your fingers. Don't like corn
chip dust. That's my take on chips. For the choice

(01:37:02):
of chips a corn chip, between a triangular chip and
a round chip, I'd prefer a round chip because it's
in the dip trying to chip, there's bits that break off,
so I'm not a big fan of that either. Sultan
think would be my favorite flavor. I suppose if I
was having favorites Evening, Nigel, this is Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:37:21):
Welcome Beg Marcus, can you hear me yet?

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Loud and clear?

Speaker 15 (01:37:26):
Thank you, thanks for the update on the Donald Trump's
tour around Britain. Because I can't actually see that. I
haven't got the Sky news channels. I haven't got Sky
at all, lext and i'd be watching it on television
and it's thanks for giving me the commentary. It's good,
very good. Thanks for that my pleasure. And next tour

(01:37:49):
to go on too is have they not got a
bronze or a gold statue of Tim shed Bolton in
the cargole CBD yet or something.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Look, they had much discussion. They decided to name an
airport tool part of an airport tumul after. This is
a time little sign and it's the most underwhelming thing.
And of course, I mean, your name an airport, but
no one's called at the Shadbolt Airport. They needed to
name a park or a street or a statue. It
was wrong. They haven't really, they haven't commemorated him in
a good way at all. And I think it's re
underwhelming and it must cause him and his family some concern.

Speaker 15 (01:38:22):
I think, yeah, well, most people probably call it the
invercag Or report.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
No one ever names an airport. Look, name namely one
airport around the world. That's the JFK Airport. Would be
the only one I could think of.

Speaker 15 (01:38:35):
What's the only one? Like, what's the only one I
can think of off the top of my head too, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
Trying to think. And it's a it's a cop out
naming it after because yeah, no one's going to call
it the ship and no one ever has.

Speaker 15 (01:38:48):
And the airports to the airport a Mamona you could
call it the Mamona reirport. There is most people.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Liverpool's one is the John Lennon Airport.

Speaker 15 (01:39:00):
Oh that's another one named after.

Speaker 18 (01:39:01):
A person, That's what I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
Did you know that?

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (01:39:05):
No, I didn't know that as Liverpool Airport International or
just to meet.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
No, it's good question. I've never heard it called the
John in an airport of view.

Speaker 15 (01:39:13):
No, well, it's close to Manchester.

Speaker 25 (01:39:15):
So the.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
California airport called the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.

Speaker 10 (01:39:23):
Okay, yeah, you're liking this.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
It's quite interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 15 (01:39:28):
Yeah that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
Oh this is Charles de Gaull Airport in Paris.

Speaker 15 (01:39:34):
Was he your next president of Yes he is.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
He very famous, Charles de gaul I don't know when
he was around, like in the sixties. Very famous, probably
the most famous leader. I always got the biggest airport
named after him.

Speaker 15 (01:39:45):
What about mister Pompey Do, President Pompy Do.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
No, he got he got the he got the big
museum named after him.

Speaker 15 (01:39:52):
I think remember when they're doing nuclear test thing in
the South. So hey, mister Pompey, do do what you
want to do in your own backyard? Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (01:40:02):
That would be time? I think I'll Pompy do bell.
What would Belfast the airport be called?

Speaker 15 (01:40:14):
Oh, I've got the name in the head, but I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
He's a footballer.

Speaker 15 (01:40:20):
I wasn't thinking of football. I was talking. I thought
there might have been someone that supported the leader of
the Protestants of the King.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Yeah, okay, it's George Best Belfast at the airport.

Speaker 15 (01:40:35):
Oh gotcha? Gotcha?

Speaker 14 (01:40:37):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
Yeah, yeah, I'm just saying that are Yeah, the Jamaica
airport is called in Fleming Airport, named after Ian Fleming,
the writer. No, where's that airport Jamaica?

Speaker 15 (01:40:54):
It should be in London?

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
Should It seems weird, doesn't it.

Speaker 15 (01:40:57):
Yeah, it should be in England. Should be in England somewhere.

Speaker 17 (01:41:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
What were your other topics tonight?

Speaker 15 (01:41:04):
It's going to ask you what do you think of
Sir Roger Douglas's call for Nikola Willis to be fired.
I think probably some of those people are against it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
I think once for the people out of pollocks, they
probably should just get another hobby. I'm bored with these
exes going on and on about it. You've got Richard
preble A pining about everything. You know, You've done your
You've done your time, and you tried your best, and
often it wasn't good enough. You move on and do
something else. I'm sick of that, and you want you
voice is not the same old tiger. Someone emailed me
before they thought Bill Birch should be giving Willis advice.

(01:41:35):
But he's ninety one.

Speaker 15 (01:41:38):
But what about mister Boulger? He was giving advice about
the retirement age should go up to seventy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
I think it's only because these reporters keep bringing them
and their plight. They answer the phone and talk to them.

Speaker 15 (01:41:49):
Where is mister Bulger now? Is he in arrest home?
Or is he still?

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
I think he's an arrest home. I don't really know
the I heard him on the radio not so long ago,
but I imagine he'd be in a rest home.

Speaker 4 (01:41:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:41:59):
When I heard him on the radio, he sounded like
a real old man, didn't he.

Speaker 18 (01:42:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:42:04):
What year is old?

Speaker 15 (01:42:06):
It'd be under ninety, wouldn't he.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
Jim Bulger, I don't know, would he be?

Speaker 15 (01:42:17):
Not sure? He might be in his nineties. You might
be in his nineties early nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
He is born, I don't know what I don't know
what year he was born. He knew that nineteen nineteen
thirty five, says ninety this year, Nigel, I'm going to run,
but nice to talk. Thank you. Twenty two to eleven
head twelve. My name is Marcus Evening and welcome on
this was it still a wet day? It feels like
a wet day. Marcus, my late hubby and I were
doing an American road trip. Stopped at where the shootout

(01:42:43):
of the OK Corral was, went to the get food
and ordered fish and chips where ages and got a
huge piece of fish and a bag of potato chips.
We couldn't stop laughing Marcus. Johannesburg Airport is Olivia. Oliver Thambo,
John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Willy George Best
Airport in Belfast, Charles de Gaulle Airport's Steve. Thank you, Marcus.

(01:43:09):
Proper crisps from Nelson made with eggread potatoes are my
father best chip in New Zealand. Someone said a question,
I'll put this one to Dan. Do we need to
download an app to use chet GPT?

Speaker 4 (01:43:19):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
No, did you go to the website?

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
There is a website, or you can go to the app.
There is an app. We can go to the website.
Does it cost you on the website? You don't even
need an account. Just go to the website and check
everything and ask you what it wants. It'll do something
for you. It's a changing world, changing too quickly for me.
Let's hear from your twenty one away. So we are
talking local body elections also, and chips and hay fever

(01:43:49):
and the chateau because I think, hey, there's a long,
boring story about hay fever and it's not boring, but
it goes about La Nina and El Nino. And every
time I read an article that, I get furious that
two things that would be have names that are so similar.
El Nino La Nina. Can't wait that in at all.

(01:44:12):
But I don't know if this is a good year
or a bad year that the article. That's how confusing
the article was. Yeah, so al Nino makes things worse
for hay fever suffers because of weather conditions that that
brings to the north of New Zealand. Al Nino brought
windy and typically drier sunny conditions to the north. That's

(01:44:34):
the sort of whether it promotes pollen production and pollen
release during the pollen season, mainly grass pollen, which is
the key pollen allergy trigger. People used to go on
about privets, didn't They always go about privets. What a
terrible tree they were privot, that's privet that. I don't
know if you still have privets in Auckland. Do you
beautiful tree and flour he says jokingly. Nineteen to eleven

(01:44:57):
romance from twelve get amongst it. People. I've got anything
interesting to add here till twelve. I'll keep you up
there with news around the world. Also tonight there's been
a incidant near Auckland Airport. Two people have been injured
after a vans two vans collided. That was on Kirkbride Road.
That's about six forty so it's been a while ago now,

(01:45:18):
but they have people been taken with serious injuries to
Auckland Hospital. That's news.

Speaker 7 (01:45:22):
Just so.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
I think the roads are all open. There's not high winds,
not the high winds there was last night. If you
have got any updates, let me know what's happening. Hang
on as soon as I said that there's a State
Hiway fifty one is closed after Clive. A clash at
Clive and hawks Bay happened just before eight Statehoo fifty
nine and fifty one and Farndon Road. Hato Honey said.

(01:45:47):
John sit respondib with free embdents that a rapid responds
vehicle two men a serious condition. So that looks like
there might be some disruptions. There also disruptions in France
today a day of anti makron anger. Yes, so I
don't know more about that. There's probably going to be

(01:46:08):
stuff on the news about that. Oh Kingsford Smith, of course,
that's the Sydney Airport. Marcus seen today outside a prominent
cafe and Nelson a sandwich board that said all Americans
must be accompanied by an adult. Great signed cheers, John,
you don't tell Trump. Marcus can confirm we still have

(01:46:35):
Privet and Ork and I just got a trees app
from my backyard in the Hillsborough. I'm looking forward to
calls on hay fever. Don't say we never talked about
hay fever. This was this was your time to shine,
hey feverists. By the way, the road at Clive is open.
Now thanks for the text door that told me that
that's important. Be a part of the che If you
want to talk Httle twelve, my name is Marcus Welcome.

(01:46:58):
There's no more pictures of Trump because they are now
in a meeting with Sir Kia Starmer.

Speaker 11 (01:47:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:05):
Here we're doing and listening. Of course that's happening. It
checkers because you couldn't get a chopper into number ten.
No chance of that, yep. And Old Nelson's proper crisps
Griffins is proposed it's going to close. Yep. I want
to consolidate all savory snack manufacturing. It worry. I guess

(01:47:29):
it's all probably about warehousing and how that works. Sixty
five staff will be affected. It's on the back of
the fisheries and also Eves Valley, Sormal and Tasben which
went must be a good earner for Griffins who brought
a lot of it. So yes, I think it's terrible
that the Royal Place loses its manufacturing. Not good at all.

(01:47:51):
Fourteen away from twelve to eleven, so it needs you
calls back soon. Twelve away from eleven. Hello, Ben, this
is Marcus Welcome. Hey Marc, good Thanks Ben.

Speaker 4 (01:48:04):
On from the house to it. It's all going on here.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
I call you doesn't sound good now, it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
Like I work in the forestry sector. That local formal
closing down. You know, that's a pit of a bummer.
I think that's got one hundred and one hundred and
forty odd jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Yes, yes, but it's just the.

Speaker 4 (01:48:29):
The ticals of it all, because it just doesn't affect
those people. Affects people like you know, people who supply it,
and engineers and in the people like the South who
do the work in the forest, all us and it
affects us all quite major actually, to be honest. So
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
What do you What are you doing in the forest.

Speaker 4 (01:48:51):
I make all the roads and all the infrastructure for
the logging crews and the trucks and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
So is it when you say when you say make
the roads, it's like with a bulldoz It's like bulldozer
and then gravel. Is that your bulldozer it through? And
then grevelle?

Speaker 10 (01:49:02):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:49:02):
Or yeah, diggers and bulldoze we make. We do all
that and then we do all the cleanup so we
don't get the same sort of thing that happened up
in Gisbon ration all that, you know, manage that as
much as we can.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
So yeah, are you are you a contract or? You're
employed on a salary.

Speaker 4 (01:49:23):
I'm employed on a salary. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
Okay, so there's that it hasn't affected you yet and
there's no signs that it will.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:49:29):
See Nelson's port, it's not a deep water report, it's
it's quite shallow. So when the boats come from overseas,
they come to Nelson. First we put half half a
load of ye old logs on the boat and then
they then they saw off and go to a deep
water port to get the other half. So it's yeah,
there's a lot of a lot of fatness there going on.

(01:49:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
So what you're saying, does that mean it's good for
Nelson because it's no.

Speaker 4 (01:49:57):
It'd be better if it was a deep water port. Yeah,
but it doesn't help when Graham Hart, who actually owns
that car to wholt Mill, he doesn't want to sell
it because we've got an NDF plant here as well
that that employees probably double that amount. I'd say they
run twenty four hours a day. They make that medium

(01:50:20):
density fog board. But it's it's owned by Japanese out
for our Sumatma. I think it's called. And they actually
approached Graham Hearts as we'd like to buy that mill,
you know, and he's no, I didn't want to sell
it because he wants to hold the monopoly in New

(01:50:43):
Zealand for himself. So they're actually going a mothball and
pull it apart so then I can use it, which
is a dear shame. And then I think a sector
of Sea Lord's Fish I think they've closed. They're closing
down too. I think there's another hundred or so jobs there.
And then yeah, there's chip one is just chip out

(01:51:04):
for years.

Speaker 2 (01:51:05):
Yes, well I'm seeing I'm seeing online this twenty thousand
foresty jobs and Nelson. That's a huge employer, isn't it.
Yeah it is.

Speaker 4 (01:51:14):
It's one of the main main earners here. And we've
just had all that wind blow down. There could be
anywhere from seven to ten thousand heat is blown over
in that storm. We head back a month or so back.

Speaker 2 (01:51:27):
Good is it a good thing? Being? Is it all retrievable?

Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
Well, if you don't get in a time, it all
dries out and you get it's got sap, stained wood
goes off and then the saw wars don't want it,
and then you can't export it, and then it's basically
just got to be left in the hill and replanted
and forgotten about. You know, you've only got a certain
time factor. It's some of ye four weeks it actually

(01:51:55):
holds the moisture, so the tree still it's still alive
as it gets dryer.

Speaker 2 (01:52:01):
So you've got you've got four weeks to get it,
to get your road in and get it out.

Speaker 10 (01:52:05):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:52:07):
Well, we've got up to about Christmas, probably just after
Christmas the bends and forgets. If we keep getting the
rain of the way we're getting, it will be a
rock for a while, but as soon as it starts
getting hot and dry, over in trouble. But we've got
we've got logging crews come up from Canterbury. We're going
to I think there's a few come down from more

(01:52:28):
Thiland just to help out because it's otherwise we're going
to get trees left it a rock basically.

Speaker 2 (01:52:36):
So and Ben when when you get windfall timber like
you with the storm So in July, weren't.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
They is it right?

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (01:52:44):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was. It was only about
a month ago.

Speaker 2 (01:52:49):
And a month ago is almost July, but August. But
when you get when you when you get wind fallen
trees like that do they always tend to fall in
the same area, so you can actually go and harvest
that all area or they spread out more.

Speaker 4 (01:53:02):
Nah, you can. It's a funny thing. He's a way
the wind was run that day. And you know, like
some areas get go through another areas might be calm.
So when you look at a forest, it just it
could be anywhere patches, or it could be the whole lot,

(01:53:23):
or it could be Yeah, but if it's an exposed face,
the whole lot go down and at the end of
it you might have your face. You might have en
trees standing up the restaur at falling down. Sometimes trees
will fall down uniformly. Yeah, sometimes they'll just break it
half and go anywhere.

Speaker 9 (01:53:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:44):
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of
a bummer.

Speaker 2 (01:53:49):
Keeps you working. I suppose.

Speaker 4 (01:53:52):
It's been busy, Marcus. That's why that's why I haven't
run you a lot lately, because it's what's wiring you.
You do some big days and then one weekend your
work or you just try to you just want to
get it to make it work.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
I imagine it's quite endurable work that i'magine at the
end of the day you've done something.

Speaker 4 (01:54:12):
Yeah, it is enjoyable. Some days it can be a
right means. Sometimes it's yeah, it's it'll be like you
getting them two thousand people trying to ring you at once.
It's just a really oh no, you can only do
the best you can do or not.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Yep, that's actually right, yep. But yeah, that's interesting. I
hadn't thought about that with the Frost, I didn't know
it was such a big employer. When did they planned,
did they plan? Was this some was this some plan
when they planted all that? Or was it just been
has Nelson always been big in forestry.

Speaker 4 (01:54:46):
I think it started back in the sixties with New
Zealand forested. Sure, they started doing it because there's a
lot of land here. You can't you can't put rats
on it's too steep. I've even got lay myself where
it's just no good as family. It's poorly so some

(01:55:06):
of it we've got trees, and the other bit of
it it's gone back to wasteland, you know. But yeah,
so they started back in the sixties and seventies and
it's just developed and seen and it's just got bigger
and and everything's evolved in time too. You know, the
trees back in those days are just little trees that
grew out a seed. Nowadays have got different raining trees,

(01:55:30):
different types of you know, growing.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
And you see the lands no good? Why is the
land no good?

Speaker 4 (01:55:38):
Oh it's just steep rolling okay because okay, yeah for
its ground. You know, it's just not Yeah, it's just
not good enough for grass, grass, you know, farming land.

Speaker 14 (01:55:52):
So what do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:55:54):
What are you doing with your land?

Speaker 7 (01:55:55):
Ben?

Speaker 4 (01:55:56):
But everything we've got bine trees, got a few acres
and grass and snow. Just you shape. You're probably about
thirty sheep all up.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Oh you're living the dream.

Speaker 4 (01:56:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, I suppose.

Speaker 2 (01:56:15):
But have you have you finished? Have you finished a lemming?

Speaker 20 (01:56:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:56:19):
Oh no, it's still going so yeah, yeah, still we're
still getting few. G's still got a few to go.

Speaker 2 (01:56:25):
Good on you. I'm going to run. Be nice to talk.
Thank you for that. Nice to hear from you, Marcus.
I've phoned them last day at the dead possums at
Blue Gum Corner. Rah Rangie. Just wanted to let you
know that today they have now been removed. I take
my hand for the people instigratd that. Thank you. By
the way, someone said the new Woody train route was
launched today. I think there's just a third line, isn't it.

(01:56:47):
It's a good thing of third line. But yeah, I
see there's shots of old Bishop and Winston kind of
driving it. Get in touch you on a talket till
twelve eight hundred and eighty ten eighty romance at midnight evening, Mary,
this is Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:57:07):
I wanted to talk about Chateau tong Gerero Great About
fifteen years ago, my husband and I went there for
a week after he came out of hospital, and it
was like respite care and it was just beautiful. The
whole place was looking very tired even then, and I

(01:57:28):
said to my husband, if we ever were lotto, we're
going to buy this place and do it. And he
would just smile. And now I hear somebody's going to
do it, so I say, congratulations, Mary, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
Think they are going to do it. I think it's
just I think it's just more or less been condemned.
Oh no, yeah, that's my understanding. I know that there's
a petition to try and save it, but I don't
think anyone can come up with a business model that
makes it look like a good idea.

Speaker 24 (01:57:58):
I well, I think that's such a shame. Yeah, there's
a lot of people stay there. When we stayed there.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
So when you stayed there was a was it for
hospital care? Was it?

Speaker 4 (01:58:10):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:58:10):
No, no, no, no, no, nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:13):
S you're out of the hospital. I see. So it
was a regular it was a regular hotel then.

Speaker 24 (01:58:19):
Yes, okay, yes, we went there for a week and
so we just had a quiet time with sit by
the fire and read and head fine dining and it
was just lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
I think the problem with it is that it's because
of those big chimneys in because it's built from brickets,
it's an earthquake risk. And of course there's side verse
with the earthquake risks. Now that you know it's going
to cost so much to get up to scratch that
no one wants it.

Speaker 24 (01:58:50):
Well, I think that's such a shame.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
Yeah, what year was it you were there?

Speaker 16 (01:58:54):
Mary?

Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
Do you remember?

Speaker 24 (01:58:57):
Oh, my goodness me, it must have been about something
like twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
Okay, okay, nice to hear from you. Thank you, Mary
and the others is Marcus.

Speaker 18 (01:59:07):
Welcome, good evening to you, Marcus. Marcus. I don't know
if you remember, sir, but a number of nights ago
you were talking a lot about and featuring eggs. Yes,
do you recall that? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:59:25):
And double yocas.

Speaker 10 (01:59:26):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (01:59:27):
Now then I have been fascinated and thinking. I'm an
old man and I don't do internet. But this is
what intrigued me.

Speaker 9 (01:59:37):
Marcus.

Speaker 18 (01:59:38):
You talked about double yocers. Now then, I'm not talking
about supermarket ones.

Speaker 6 (01:59:45):
I'm talking about.

Speaker 18 (01:59:46):
Eggs are fedilized double yocers results in twins?

Speaker 2 (01:59:53):
Apparently they dying, they're not viable. I wondered, Yeah, that
seems to be, and I'll fetch you myself. But I
don't think they do.

Speaker 18 (02:00:04):
I was thinking about it, and its fascinating. I wonder
what is like, Yeah, if wild beds gave birth to
double yoca twins, you.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
Know it says it's very rare for two chicks to
hatch from the same egg.

Speaker 18 (02:00:20):
Are you saying very rare or never?

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
Very rare?

Speaker 18 (02:00:23):
But very real?

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):
Is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that? Because
I don't know, I don't know how rare? Okay, my
friend I don't know if it's I don't know if
it ever happened.

Speaker 18 (02:00:33):
So right right, right, but you could understand me wondering
about it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:40):
Yes, yeah, it's one of the thousand eggs are a
double yoca, but I don't know how many would how
many if they were fid lives would go yeah, it
seems very real, but I can't get Yeah, maybe someone
else will know ne' but nice to hear from you.
Thank you. Twenty nine to twelve. That's double could call
for tonight, greetings, good evening, Do come through if you

(02:01:01):
want to. By the way, someone has flyn too close
to Ear Force one, Spirit aircraft warned as it got
too close to Air Force one. As Spirit Airlines's flight
received repeated warnings from air traffic control to pay attention,
turn away as it came too close to President Donald
Trump's aircraft. Pay attention, Get off the iPad was the

(02:01:24):
stern message issued to the Spirit pilot as the aircraft
flew eight miles parallel to Air Force one, never close
enough to be classify as unsafe, but close enough to
alarm officials. Spirit must be a private airline, by the way,
they said, get off the iPad. The budget airline parts

(02:01:49):
acknowledged the transmission, although the response to it were difficult
to heared. You the statics ound of the recording. Wow,
well it wasn't that close. It was eight mile twelve
point eight kilometers for those that want to translate, Marcus.
The owners of the Shadow put the reference into the

(02:02:10):
resort at White Archy rather than maintaining for reserable standard.
Quite aside from the earthquake risk, the place is so
run down, I think it's beyond repair. What's why racky
like these days? Marcus? Do you think people still ask
there soon to be father in law for their blessing tomorrow?
Ask because of all the same sick marriages, which is good.

(02:02:30):
But is it's still the same to usk the father
in law? Or it's not a big deal these days, Marcus.
Seeing it's a quiet night, I thought i'd check this
out there in our crazy washed world where everything is
designed to speed life up, why do people stand still
on escalators? It really bugs me. If I say excuse me,
they glare at me. It's a good point. Good evening, Joe,

(02:02:52):
it's j D. It's Marcus. Welcome, not quite moaning, But.

Speaker 20 (02:02:59):
Marcus, here's are we plan for we're breaking news, you know,
as you're droving up Ellis Road, heading towards Pluss and
the supermarkets on the left. Yes, why do they have
the car parks all might squealy instead of actually leaning
them so it's easier to pull in and easier to
pull out.

Speaker 2 (02:03:19):
It's funny because I avoid that supermarket because it's so
hard to park there. It's a nightmare.

Speaker 4 (02:03:24):
Exactly.

Speaker 20 (02:03:26):
Yes, So if they were, if the car parks who
actually sloped towards the street, would be easier to back
out of and easier to pull into.

Speaker 2 (02:03:34):
Has it always been like that?

Speaker 20 (02:03:37):
Well, I've never seen anything different, but just every time
I go in there, I think I must tell somebody
about that. And by listening to you tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
Yeah, no, no, no, I I agree with you because
they haven't got I mean there's not much of a
car park there either.

Speaker 20 (02:03:54):
No, no, I'm not really mostly our park actually, and
the old garage of service station beside the supermarket.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Well, that video shop's got a car park, hasn't it. Yes,
I'm looking on Google maps now. Some of the parks
are slightly angled. It's the ones at the beck that
are square, aren't they?

Speaker 20 (02:04:14):
Well, well, most of them are square, actually, Marcus. But
that's why I don't, because I've got a good car
and people didn't.

Speaker 13 (02:04:21):
The cars with.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
The trolleys. Looking on Google Maps, it looks like they're angled,
but maybe they've repainted them square. I'll check them out tonight. Yes, okay,
that's a good point.

Speaker 4 (02:04:35):
And let me tell you.

Speaker 20 (02:04:37):
My name is Doyle, Yes, and I come from Bluff.

Speaker 4 (02:04:41):
Yes.

Speaker 20 (02:04:41):
My granddad was the mirror of Bluff.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
Wow. And where did you live in Bluff?

Speaker 4 (02:04:46):
Well?

Speaker 20 (02:04:47):
We actually I was born in Bluff, but actually living
in Vicagole, but it was the mirror of Bluff. And
we have a street, Doyle Street in Bluff.

Speaker 2 (02:04:58):
I don't know Doyle Street.

Speaker 20 (02:05:01):
It's as you pull and come into Bluff Shell Service,
stay down on the right hand side. It's just up there.

Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
It goes to I go there often because it's where
I park when the kids have got softball. It goes
to Robinson Park, doesn't it. Yes, Yes, I've got two
mates on Doyle Street. That's a good thing. What year
was he mere there?

Speaker 20 (02:05:20):
Jd oh, Look I can't tell you, but before my time,
I think, yeah, yeah, well I'm seventy seventy seven now,
so yeah, it's quite a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
I might find out for you.

Speaker 20 (02:05:39):
Yes, he had a radio shop in the mainstream of bluff. Wow,
important Columbus radios from England.

Speaker 2 (02:05:48):
Cheap. It's a good story. Is there from nineteen thirty
one to nineteen thirty four?

Speaker 20 (02:05:54):
Well, a couple of back.

Speaker 15 (02:05:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:05:58):
Then to be a parliamentarian, that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
Yes, with the first Labor government.

Speaker 20 (02:06:07):
Yes, he was in the h I think when they
call it the he didn't actually go to the war
because he was in parliament and he used to get
white feathers put in his letter box.

Speaker 10 (02:06:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:06:20):
Wow, it's pretty full on, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (02:06:24):
Yeah, the House of Representatives, that's what he was.

Speaker 2 (02:06:27):
He's also involved with the Licensing Trust at the very beginning.

Speaker 20 (02:06:31):
Yes he was, Yes, and the SPS Bank.

Speaker 2 (02:06:34):
I think he looks like he looks like the real
deal too, doesn't he. He looks like he's a he's
got a great face.

Speaker 20 (02:06:42):
He quite expressive. Yeahs taken me for him? Wow, short
shortened round belly.

Speaker 2 (02:06:53):
Oh is there for a long while?

Speaker 15 (02:06:54):
Was he?

Speaker 4 (02:06:57):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 20 (02:06:57):
I think so.

Speaker 14 (02:06:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:06:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:06:59):
We must have run again in nineteen fifty seven, so
it seemed to have a long career.

Speaker 20 (02:07:05):
Yeah, I have a feeling. Actually there was a break
in between. I seem to remember somewhere along the line.

Speaker 2 (02:07:13):
Yeah, you wouldn't think, I mean, you wouldn't think you
could see how many radios and Bluff would you once
have all got them? That's kind of it, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (02:07:20):
Well?

Speaker 20 (02:07:21):
I guess yeah, yes, back in the day when all
the boys from Bluff would come up in the train
to go to school.

Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
Y they still talk about that, JD board Do they
still talk about that?

Speaker 20 (02:07:33):
Some tales to be told that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
There's a book written about it. But yes, every person. Oh,
they should bring back the train. Nice to talk, JD.
Thank you, Jamie. It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 13 (02:07:43):
Hey Marcus. Here you're going?

Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
Is it raining?

Speaker 4 (02:07:47):
No?

Speaker 13 (02:07:48):
I'm not raining again.

Speaker 2 (02:07:50):
I mean I could hear something that sounds like rain.
Now where are you?

Speaker 13 (02:07:55):
I am eleven kilometers often pulling up for the night
at Southern Cross three and seventy four kilometers Westerner Cheap.

Speaker 2 (02:08:06):
Is it that of the town?

Speaker 10 (02:08:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (02:08:09):
I think they apparently there's a big truck stoup there,
so we'll stop there for the night.

Speaker 2 (02:08:14):
Southern Crosstown in Australia. So when did you lift Sydney.

Speaker 13 (02:08:17):
When left Brisbane? Three pm Monday, got to Sydney Monday
night and then I was just about three and seventy
three kilometers off person. Now have been like four days,
three days.

Speaker 2 (02:08:35):
What's it been like?

Speaker 13 (02:08:37):
Yeah, not been too bad. So I went from Sydney
to mil Jura. That was slipt in mil Jeria and
then went from mill Dura through the Nulliball roadhouse at
the Nullball Roadhouse and then yeah, now we're here all
pretty pretty much from East Tuna. I think you say
it to the Norman. I didn't have any phone coverage,

(02:09:00):
so for the last day and a half I haven't
had any phone coverage.

Speaker 2 (02:09:04):
Many trucks on the road.

Speaker 13 (02:09:07):
Busy, I'm surprised, actually, probably every five minutes to pass
the track.

Speaker 2 (02:09:12):
Many just ordinary cars.

Speaker 13 (02:09:15):
Yeah, yeah, few ordinary cars. Not the caravan, he's the caravan.
Any kangaroos, yes, no, I haven't seen any kangaroos. Not
many piled on the road on the side of the
when we yeah, on the New Highway, you see a lot,
but there's nothing. Seemed to be too many out here.

Speaker 2 (02:09:33):
Any headshikers, No, no hikers.

Speaker 13 (02:09:36):
It's been pretty quiet extent, so.

Speaker 2 (02:09:38):
That sounds exciting. Have you had radio?

Speaker 13 (02:09:42):
Yeah, No, I've just been looking to Spotify.

Speaker 10 (02:09:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:09:46):
Wow, yeah, the Nullable roadhouse, man, I reckon there would
have been some crazy nights there. It was closed when
I got there, but it looked like an interesting place.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
Yeah, I'm looking at that now on Google Maps. You
got a laundry service. Why would it be closed because
it was nighttime?

Speaker 13 (02:10:02):
Yeah, I got there at ten o'clock. Team, because I
operate Queenslane Time, so TMP and Queenslane time.

Speaker 27 (02:10:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:10:11):
It is it fairly easy to find a place to
park your truck order you have to get guidance for that.

Speaker 13 (02:10:18):
No, it's pretty big. You just pull up and wherever
you want, really pull up, all in a row. Some
are facing westbound, some are facing eastbound, and then plotted
and wherever you're out of the way. So now it
makes up to move your trust people. I have seven
hours and was.

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
It closed in the morning when you woke up? You
didn't get to check it out?

Speaker 20 (02:10:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (02:10:41):
I got there at ten pm.

Speaker 20 (02:10:42):
U left.

Speaker 13 (02:10:44):
Five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (02:10:45):
Okay, so to get to try the food or the hospitality.

Speaker 13 (02:10:50):
No, I just said, yeah, the minimum seven hours off
and win again.

Speaker 2 (02:10:53):
She looks pretty barren.

Speaker 13 (02:10:56):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'll stopped and the bit took
some cool videos a time laps. I can send it
through the Faithful if you like time laps. The ninety
miles straight today.

Speaker 2 (02:11:08):
Wow, I'd love to see that.

Speaker 13 (02:11:10):
Yep, the most boring video.

Speaker 2 (02:11:13):
However, how long did that take?

Speaker 13 (02:11:18):
I must have talked about an hour and twenty I think.

Speaker 2 (02:11:21):
Okay, And have you worked out what you're going to
do when you get to pers and how long your
turnaround's going to be?

Speaker 13 (02:11:28):
Yeah, so I'll get I'll roll on the Perth and
at about seven am Perth time, and then I've got
to unloaded, reload, have twenty four hours off and then
I'm loading for Melbourne. I start heading to Melbourne on
Saturday and I should be in Melbourne on Monday night
Tuesday morning.

Speaker 2 (02:11:48):
And do you know what your return loaders?

Speaker 13 (02:11:52):
Yeah, some steal. One of the other guys that got
a load of it today is just telling me about it.
So it's a load of Yeah, I think you man,
can you be.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
Looking forward to going for a walk. Wouldn't you get
kind of to get sort of fed up by the
lack of exercise? You just want to sort of stretch
of leagues or do you do that?

Speaker 13 (02:12:09):
I get out, I'll stop the bit so normally to
take videos. That's kind of a bit of a hobby
of mine. But some of them look good, some of
them don't walk around take a good shot on the truck.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
I suppose. Not always easy to find a place to
park either, is it.

Speaker 4 (02:12:25):
Now?

Speaker 13 (02:12:26):
It's not too bad? Yeah, there's some lovely sunset. It's
been I've been doing that.

Speaker 2 (02:12:31):
And what Southern Cross? I wonder why it's called Southern Cross.
It looks like a mining town, is that right? There's
a big sort of a big lake there that looks
like it's some extractive process going on there. Will that
be right?

Speaker 14 (02:12:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (02:12:43):
Probably up the park here now. Yeah, I haven't even
on the map, just been following my truck.

Speaker 25 (02:12:49):
KEP.

Speaker 2 (02:12:51):
You're in a truck stop there as well, are you?

Speaker 9 (02:12:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (02:12:55):
Apparently apparently there's the trucks done up here that does
good food, mate, So we'll go and check that out.
Probably closed, but yeah, a shower in the morning to
wake up.

Speaker 4 (02:13:05):
And then go.

Speaker 2 (02:13:07):
We'll give us a hollow on your return to j
We found it very interesting, so thanks for that.

Speaker 18 (02:13:11):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (02:13:12):
Marcus remembered the old cold Codec single use cameras were
built in films. I finally got ready to take a
couple and to be developed. I need to be told
they'll be obsolete to develop from next year? Is that
we incompetible to print on the new digital machines. Wow,
that's the end of film then?

Speaker 11 (02:13:26):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (02:13:27):
Hello John, AT's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:13:30):
Hi, Thanks Marcus.

Speaker 16 (02:13:32):
I just wanted to point out that New Zealan Posts
are not delivering them. They're not papers. It's a private
or it's the other company that's owned by Great Ways
d X.

Speaker 2 (02:13:45):
Why did they go with them?

Speaker 4 (02:13:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (02:13:48):
Right, looked at that and I thought, you know, I
get a little bit upset when I see that, because
you know, they're a we should be supporting our own
state owned enterprise. But I looked at it and it
was definitely the X.

Speaker 2 (02:14:08):
Yeah, I'm really surprised about that.

Speaker 16 (02:14:10):
Yeah. I looked at it. It was up in the
left hand corner, and I noticed that on the envelope
that I sent back. You know, with most elections, I
put them in New World.

Speaker 4 (02:14:26):
Bat box.

Speaker 16 (02:14:28):
But it was definitely the X. It wasn't his post.

Speaker 2 (02:14:31):
No, Okay, I don't know why they've done that, because.

Speaker 16 (02:14:35):
Well, you know, there's quite quite a few governments happens
use that DX.

Speaker 2 (02:14:42):
So where I did, where are the X postboxes?

Speaker 4 (02:14:49):
Well?

Speaker 16 (02:14:49):
I years ago I used to use them and it
was at Wellington Railway station.

Speaker 2 (02:14:56):
Okay, mm hmm they're around, aren't They're blowing around on poles.
They're like around.

Speaker 4 (02:15:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:15:05):
I think I've seen them around, but wouldn't know whether
it's any invocate. Did you choose to full twelve people
or just do a few?

Speaker 16 (02:15:11):
John, No, No, I just you know, it was choose
two of the following and they you know, and I
just followed the instructions.

Speaker 2 (02:15:23):
That's all brilliant. Nice to hear from me, John, Thank you,
Evening Christmas is Marcus.

Speaker 8 (02:15:27):
Welcome evening, Marcus. I just picked up on DX mail.
I've found them totally useless and unreliable.

Speaker 15 (02:15:35):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (02:15:36):
Hospital appointments take two weeks to get here. In dentist appointments,
and all the elderly in my neighborhoods, all their appointments
arrived after the date and the d X deliver the
more in one leader box with all the wrong numbers.
I was about to go in and talk to somebody
on in Dneda and Portsmouth Drive at the d X office.
But quite frankly, I don't have the energy to be

(02:15:59):
to bettle that one. But they're totally hopeless. There's stuff
takes two to three weeks to arrive from medical appointments
for dentistry or anywhere. Whoever uses them, I don't know
why I was going to find out.

Speaker 2 (02:16:11):
Are they cheaper? Are they cheaper than the dead post?

Speaker 8 (02:16:15):
I don't know how much it costs, but all I
know is the delivery to your home address from whom
ever sends it in the DX is totally slow and unreliable.
That's my experience.

Speaker 2 (02:16:32):
Yeah, they've been around for a while, haven't There was
peats Post for a while too, which I think disappeared,
but youly ever knew they were a thing d X post.

Speaker 8 (02:16:38):
So it's interesting it's been around for many, many years
because oh twenty years I was working at least ago,
I was working in an off of sending DX mail
and it went every day.

Speaker 25 (02:16:50):
It was liable, Okay, very reliable. Not my experience now, okay, and.

Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
You can't be you can't be bothered. The hassle going
in to get reading the ride act is that what you're.

Speaker 7 (02:17:04):
Saying got bigger fish to fry.

Speaker 8 (02:17:10):
Right now, but I will when I have.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
I'm not worried about that, Chris. I'm worried about your
bigger fresh to fry. But good luck with that anyway.
I hope that, because that sounds like a mission.

Speaker 8 (02:17:18):
Report back to you when I've found out why they
stuck them more than one letter box down the road,
all the hospital appointments with the fat or big letters,
all with wrong number, all with different numbers.

Speaker 2 (02:17:31):
Yeah you do that, Chris, Thank you, And that brings
the evening to a close.
