Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, welcome with eating people. My name is Marcus. Headed
a very cold down south. It wasn't the snow hit
christ Church, Kenderby yesterday and bluff he had sunny, sunny,
kind of mild weather, but this morning it was re coold.
He hasn't got above three degrees all day and snowed
most of the day. Not sitting on the ground, but
certainly snow flurries. I went for a run down the

(00:33):
hill about five o'clock and certainly up the top of
Bluffield there was it was quite thick. So yeah, I
was actually kind of concerned. We're not concerned, but oh
it was one of those tricky trips into here's the story, right.
I think my adometer said thirty nine k's one left home,

(00:54):
which is only about a thirty k June. I thought,
that's easy, I'll sprindle you don't want to run out
of fuel half way. But I I don't know why,
but it was going thirty nine CA's, then thirty eight k's,
then thirty seven k's. Then the how far to go
thing just flashed. Don don't quite know why it does that.

(01:18):
I presume it's because I can't determine. Is it because
they wouldn't would have been too how I don't know
why they do that. It doesn't do it that often
with that horrible food and driving town. I'm quite sure
when you get a runt of gas, particularly if I thought
it was going to be stuck in snow anyway, that
didn't eventuate. The snow wasn't settling, that was windy, and
it's cold. As I said, it hasn't going to have
three degrees all day, so we anyone's got any snow

(01:39):
stories for us to kick us off if we won't
do snow all night. But you know, it hasn't got
much attention to the press. But down south it's very
very snow to sea levels and a very kind of
cold day. There'd be a lot of the mountain passes
will be closed to a look into that quite a
big story, I say, I feel so you will cover
that off. You're a truck driver, if you're someone that's

(02:00):
driving commercially, that snow too, what you are experiencing sort
of the first major snow kind of of the year.
I'd say that'd be my take on it. Get in touch.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two de ticks. I will check the roads, promise you.

(02:24):
I'll do that because you It actually really has been
kind of filly, average kind of weather. So if you've
got something to say about that'd be nice to hear
from you. You're Joe Marcus receiving welcome. Hi, Joe, can
I mate?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, it just came through the dissert roads.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Pretty wet snow on the tops.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, no, not sticky.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
It's just wet, okay, So.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
You wouldn't imagine it's gonna get You wouldn't imagine it's
gonna get worse. It appears like it's not banking up,
but it will be passable all night. Would be your thoughts, Joe,
I'm pretty sure, So I'm going to go back down
that way. If it changes, I'll let you know. If
anyone else lets me know, Joe, thank you for that.
A couple of things I've got going around in my mind.
Two things I want to talk about. One of them

(03:15):
would be your worst investment. We've done a night on
money arrestments. I wonder what people have done, have put
all their money and lost it all or done really
really badly. Because there's always get rich schemes, aren't they,
whether it be goats or our goats, or ostriches or
bitcoin or pyramid games. Remember those three exciting pyramid games.

(03:43):
Pyramid parties where you double your money. Terrible in to
either the Matthew Rouser require billions of people to actually partake.
But yeah, get rich schemes. What you've partoken and partaken
and how bad they go for you? Always interested in
that all the ones have been over the years. Is

(04:04):
always some specative boom. But yeah, the goats, they were
big there for a while. A lot of livestock booms. Ah,
importing stuff. I want talk about get rich schemes that
have gone bad or investments that have gone bad could
be an interesting show for buyer. Beware. The other thing

(04:26):
that I'd be interested in talking about tonight is when
your dreams change. So most of us dream, and what's
interesting to me is suddenly when the nature of your
dreams change, which reflects a new or a different passion, right,

(04:57):
And yeah, I'd like to hear examples of that. They're
going to find that quite interesting. So suddenly when you
started dreaming about something different, what is that and why
do you think you're dreaming about?

Speaker 7 (05:08):
It?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Might be a new hobby, might be something like that,
and suddenly that's dominated what's happening for you when you're asleep. Yeah,
I've got an example. I might share that a bit later.
I don't feel how comfortable I feel talking about it,
but I might, although I tell you what. For me,
I don't get the one we'll on my teeth of
falling out. A lot of people get that one, don't they?

Speaker 8 (05:30):
Not me?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Have all the people that talk about the dreams, that
sounds the most terrifying when you're losing all your teeth.
I don't have nightmares. I have those reoccurring dreams where
you're stuck in some sort of situation. You can't get
yourself out of those annoying ones. I do have dreams

(05:54):
about work to which are never that good. But yeah,
I wouldn't mind hearing it when they change. Marcus completely
off topic, but wanted to get your thoughts on this.
First Arsenal football game of the season was on Sunday
morning in Sky's Sport put an ad on for a
betting app over the club song been sung by the

(06:16):
stadium prior to kickoff. Seems a bit scummy to me
to charge so much for the coverage and then shove
an ad I have one of the best moments of
the coverage.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
I think.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Unfortunately, sport has been going to come more and more
in the back pocket of betting because betting sports betting
is growing like there's no good out. I'm even surprised
to see in the coverage of the All Blacks, you know,
and to me it's beneath his he dad getting involved
and spooking for the tab. Yeah, it's just to me,
it just looks a bit all, a bit a bit

(06:50):
wrong for what I'd like sport to have been away
and it's happened. You see an American sport set in
Australian sport, but now it's pretty much a part of
the coverage here. I guess they're desperate for revenue, but yeah,
I don't like it. So I can sympathize with you,
although it's probably the squad you can do, because yeah,

(07:12):
I mean Sky's got you there there, the ones that
bring you the coverage to monopoly. I think Marcus bad
Investment for US was buying IF forty five gym going
or right about three months and COVID hidden. The cost
of living has dropped, and people you can't get them
to the gym anymore. I'm not even making money as

(07:33):
the investment at the investment losing money on the monthly
basis not a rego investment for us. Oh that's sad
to hear about that, wondering people. I don't know that
people had stop going to gyms, but I guess it's
one of those cost of living things. The money's down,
people stop. But thank you for that, Marcus. My car
has the k's left and fuel. It cuts out at
forty k's left. It puts it front and center of focus.

(07:57):
Why would it cut out? I wanted to cow. I
guess they not know at that level, it's not reliable anyway,
Marcus had a cup of it. I had a couple
husbands who were bad investments. Well you'll get that, Marcus.
I'm eighty three, but as a teenager, I was always
losing my money on a card game called Find the Lady.

(08:22):
Other listeners might remember it was played on street corners.
You don't know about Find the Lady. I'm kind of
intrigued about that. Sounds like I'm card shark sort of
a thing. Gosh, you've only strict corners that exciting. Now
find the lady like the sounds of that, you won't

(08:46):
know any more about that. Find the Lady card game
might bring back some memories for some of you. And
when you dream suddenly change. I don't want to hear
about not on dreams, because dreams themselves are quite boring,
and as you've experienced it. But I love the subtlety
of dreams, the fact that you can't see a clock

(09:06):
or you can't read during dreams. That doesn't happen. And
some of you might have had nothing having these lately
multi teared dreams. When you wake up for the dream,
you're still in the dream. Love that find the Lady
that's there as well. Though my dream that I've suddenly
having is I've started with my horticultural pursuits. I well,

(09:33):
agricultural I have having. I dreamt last night that suddenly
I'd found a secret stash through some overgrown bush of
electric fence inchladers those pigtail wise, how weird was that

(09:54):
it seems so real because it don't even seemed to
be exciting enough to be in a dream. Oh well,
it must be something that's become a big deal for me.
Now I'm fantasizing about finding those the cheapest creepers, like
a real farm. Anyway, I thought it was interesting because
never you know, it wasn't part of my perview not
so long ago. So I'm pretty exciting. But that's weird.

(10:15):
You could dream about electric fence pigtail electric fence insulators,
but in my dreams, I've never been on my iPhone
and they're weird. I spent half a day looking for it,
but it seems like iPhones don't feature in dreams. What's

(10:37):
that about? But get in touch and you might know
about Find the Lady Marcus. I look forward to watching
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas last time on Brava.
Took more time watching the ads in the movie. What's
going on? Is it worth having free to view TV anymore? Well,
it's worth it because it's free. That's not a caller

(10:58):
for me? Is it down? I can't see that. After
fueling up my car, my twelve year old cousin who's
mad about car's side swipe me the question that I
couldn't answer. Can petrol or diesel freeze inside the carral
trucks while parked up an icy winter. I want to
imagine not, but some might have an answer for that one.

(11:19):
Twenty five past eight, looking forward to your calls, head
on midnight dreams and the worst investments you've made.

Speaker 10 (11:28):
You know why.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I'm in an investment frame of mind, but I'll be
curious bringing the breaking news what happens also too, mainly
about the weather. Ah yeah, but it seems as though
it kind of hit the middle of the South. I
then came down to the Lower South Island today. Yeah, Marcus.

(11:52):
As I was drifting off to sleep the other night,
I had the vision of a large Mac truck coming
straight at me. I hope you were in driving at
the time, if I read that one right, I hope.
So most people have reckoned the worst investments have hadn't
been there in their husbands. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh well,
I don't know what if we use the investment and

(12:14):
algy what I can say about that? Someone says, do
you know how to fix printers?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
And once that card play, find the lady, anyone explained
to me, find the lady. Sure we could have fun
with that. It's a card game. Marcus buying two plaster
townhouses for rental properties seem like a good idea at
the time. There's not much wrong with them, but no

(12:44):
one wants to buy them, and we would like to
sell now that these interest rates are so bad and
the body corporate fees are a lot when you have
more than one place. But no luck selling a plasta townhouse.
What if they're identified as weather board or concrete? Lull
of a good point you make, Crusoe, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
Yeah, give it me, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (13:04):
How you're not.

Speaker 12 (13:09):
Hot?

Speaker 11 (13:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
What's happening for you?

Speaker 13 (13:14):
Ah?

Speaker 11 (13:14):
Just staring at a pick motorbike at the moment. Yeah, yeah,
the the spark plug holes right on the top and
I don't want anything falling in. But ah, but we're
out of the wind here.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Are you fixing the Are you fixing the bike?

Speaker 11 (13:32):
Just doing the trouble shooting, you know, just trying to
save the save the mechanics, anymore extra labor, but yeah,
just doing a troubleshooting. Bit of meditation. Then be on
the radio.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
God, what do you want to investment? Bad investments or dreams?

Speaker 10 (13:50):
Ah?

Speaker 11 (13:52):
Mat bad investments. I was trying to come up with
my worst best word investment. Now I couldn't really mention,
I mean lost it is depending what you prepare to
suffer for really, like for Moike. But that's something else
like do you have this and the one that you
think could be worth a lot one day, but you've
got to rebuild it four times you're going to have
it's going to be a money hole. So that's the example.

(14:14):
But dreams, Yeah, last night I was driving a helicopter.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I like that one quite what vigorously?

Speaker 11 (14:22):
Yeah, yeah, I could have been having like it was
almost like I was a little bit sort of under
the influence. Wow, I was just quite having a bit
of a party drive. But yeah, not too much to report.
But yeah, and I didn't know if you were talking
about dream dreams or dreams and goals in life, but yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Know I talk about when your dreams suddenly change, when
the content of your dreams change.

Speaker 11 (14:49):
Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were trying to ask
if it was about Yeah, now you're vised the content
of your dreams at night or dreams in your life path.
But like I said, we all have it all and
it's just what we want to share.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Really, But good on your car, and I'll see if
I can actually bring that, if I can quantify that
a bit better. Jers Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Hi.

Speaker 14 (15:10):
I'm not sure if my dream matches just theme, but
I just thought to share a dream that I'm now
starting to get a little bit of rare occurring of
someone who's passed in my family. Wow, I don't like,
I'm not spiritually think really sometimes sometimes it's just nice
to see him in my dreams. It's just a nice

(15:33):
to get to see him every so often. So I
was getting ready for my wedding and was getting We're
going to have a family dinner before the wedding day,
and I was just had to think that he wasn't
going to be there. But then I dreamt about it
a night or two before the day and the whole
family was on the long table. I could see everyone

(15:55):
was there, and then I glanced up and he walked
into the room and I was like, Oh, where have
you been. He was like, Oh, don't worry, I was
not going to miss it. It's yeah, just sometimes Is.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It quite quite recent? Is he quite recently your brother?

Speaker 15 (16:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (16:13):
He passed maybe ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh wow, he's.

Speaker 14 (16:17):
A very special guys. He was married for ten years
and he had child of four years old, so, and
he had been a great like like he just made
friends so well, and he got up to no good
at boarding school and university and got to go out

(16:39):
of sea kickers, heel up, heels up and go to
Metallica concerts and get up to no good. So he
loved a full life and he just said that shit happens,
and he rolled with it. So he lived by example there.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Sure, and this is the first time in those ten years.
It's only now that you've started dreaming. He started appearing,
is that right?

Speaker 11 (16:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (16:58):
And sometimes to be yeah, sometimes because he was my
best friend. For it's just so nice that my dreen
for sometimes changing, so I get a little glimpse of them.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
What about bad investments?

Speaker 16 (17:11):
You got one of those jairs, Yeah, they're actually that
wedding that was a bad investment, but it was it
your own, it was my own. And even going to
a university that bad investment, I think. But at the
same time, I've been great life lessons of what I
didn't learning what I in order to find who I

(17:33):
am now, I need to learn at what I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
So good on your jazz, thanks for that, oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty find the Lady might's sound
like you, but we've got to show Mainly it's about
investments the worst. What did you think you're gonna make
a lot of money out because interesting talking to Crusoe, right,
I reckon, If you think you're going to make money
out of your passion, you're not going to. You start
investing in cars and stuff like that, you're pay too

(17:57):
much for them because you can't be disassociated. You're going
to get too pession. You're going to pay a fortune.
There'll be my take on that. Because you think, oh,
I know a lot about this, are going to make
money out of it? You won't because you can't say
nod having more of them. So you go through all

(18:19):
those things that you collect over the years, whether there
be oh cheap as after over anything really Pokemon cards
or soft toys or any of those things. What were
those what are they called beanie babies or those ones?

(18:42):
People have spent a fortune on them and you try
and get rid of them, and of course everyone wants
to get rid of them. There's no money in them.
So yeah, and strange things when you get a new
job or something, and when you when your dreams change
to fit in with that. That's That's what I'm about,

(19:04):
because we don't actually chronicle our dream is that much?

Speaker 5 (19:06):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Because probably I guess it's probably all do with stress
with work and stuff. But yeah, I'm curious today, Marcus.
I googled find the lady. It's were a trick, a
red queen and two black cards. Marcus, full moon, thank you.

(19:27):
Doesn't feel full, It feels terrible. This is a good thing.
The houses woman managed to get up warm Neil, welcome.

Speaker 10 (19:38):
Hello there, Marcus. You mentioned Barbarossa.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yes, I called it Barbarosis. I apologize for the mispronunciation.

Speaker 10 (19:48):
Can I just put your aid on it, Marcus?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 10 (19:52):
Nineteen forty two the largest land division in the history
of the world. Hitler spent sent three million troops into
to invade Russia, and he called it Operation Barbarossa. Well brief, maga, Marcus,
because I know you're all busy in that. It started

(20:17):
in July, right, and everybody's real hot and all like that.
But they got stuck. They slowed down because the Russians
fought back after the Germans had taken vast amounts of land,
and the Russian winter came in and it killed thousands
of German troops. It was like thairty of forty bellow

(20:40):
or something like that, and you've maybe aid of it.
But they got stuck at Stalingrad, right well, and that's
when the sixth Army was defeated. And then the Russians
started rolling on towards Poland and the liking eventually to
Berlin and finished the job off. But Operation Barbarossa the

(21:03):
largest land invasion in the history of the well, three
million troops.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's a bigami or slim an army.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
But the thing was, you see, Mark has just cut
me off if you get fed up.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
But well, anyway, the thing was off, your guy.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
The thing was.

Speaker 10 (21:27):
The thing was, you see, was that Hitler and the
Wehmach conquered all of Europe through Blitzkrieg, the lightning war.
That's very fast advancement of tanks supported by aircraft. And
when they got stuck in Russia, they never had experience

(21:51):
of static fighting, you see, and they got slaughtered. They
got slaughtered and something like I'm making this up a
little bit, but not much. Well, the Russians captured one
and a half million German troops after the Germans had
surrendered as Stalingrad and what and a half million they've

(22:16):
gotten they put them in the googleg or whatever they
call it. There's only fifty thousand came back the rest.
I understand starvation in Russian hands.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Did the petrol and their tanks freeze the diesel? Is
that what happened?

Speaker 10 (22:29):
That was another point the gentleman who mentioned diesel can freeze.
It wan't diesel. It was petrol, okay, And it did freeze.
And to make things Wesse and all the oil in
the guns froze, you know, the rifles everything, they're absolutely buggered,

(22:52):
you know. And the Russians were used to it.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Uh huh. So that was different conditions, did you, Neil?
Have you got family involved with it?

Speaker 10 (23:01):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know so much?

Speaker 10 (23:03):
Well? Not barbaras And my dad I was a young lad.
But my dad was a fisherman and he got blown
off off Norway and he managed to escape ashore and
pretended to be Norwegian because he could speak Norwegian, because
a lot of Norwegians had run away to Sweden, and

(23:25):
he managed to he managed to escape to Sweden and
then in the port at Sweden there were three British
bulk ships and they had bul bearings on board and
my dad had done a lot of poaching around there,
the Fiords, and he went to the Ambassadors and get through,

(23:47):
and they got through, and I hadn't got it now
lost its silly bugger. But when we got home he
got he got medals, of course, and he got a
handwritten letter from Churchill and a telegram from the King.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Where was he fishing out of Neil?

Speaker 15 (24:06):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (24:06):
It was a troller man fishing out of Hull. And
they used to go from Iceland and Norway, not like
that after the Cordon Haddock.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Okay for what sort of what lengths of trip?

Speaker 10 (24:18):
Oh? Well, they used to call them two day tycoons
because they got paid three weeks away, two days off,
three weeks away, and they used to call them two
day tycoons. It's a pocketful of money in a headful of.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Room, you know, Yeah, I know that's fishermen like on
shore leave Neil. Nice to talk, Thank you, Tony, it's Marcus, Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 13 (24:43):
Hello, hell again, good things, get rich quick schemes you
reckon yep, Okay, I got one for you, my cousin
who are young.

Speaker 17 (24:55):
We're watching and even the movie with the fighter. But
we're going to make bandannas to go and found on
the streets. So we got found a couple of little
white sheets. Well they probably went older, probably the one

(25:16):
who was leaving on and we tore them up, made
about teen of these bandannas, found the red felt tip
pen through a drew a red circle in the middle
of them, tied them up into a boat at the back,
saying had to look like someone was wearing them, and
walked down the into the street and one of the

(25:39):
street for about ten hours and didn't.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So one, wow, what do you think we went wrong?
The marketing or no one wanted them? Would they look
no good?

Speaker 7 (25:51):
Ah?

Speaker 17 (25:52):
Probably marketing. Mate.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
We're just.

Speaker 17 (25:56):
About, you know, yelling at cars going past the thing
over in the country, so there wasn't much chaste going past,
to be honest.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Did you learn any business lessons in.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
There later in life?

Speaker 17 (26:08):
I did when I'm thinking back to it. Now, you've
got to get something you go before you know it's
going to.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Work on exactly. Nice to hear from your Tony. Hey

day because get him off as Harley.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Oh wow, well Harley. I don't know Harley. I don't
know if Harley people would be very happy going on trains.
They wouldn't want to give up the power, would they.

Speaker 18 (27:04):
No, Well, you see, I'd rather he was on that
train than mixing it in the Sydney traffic.

On its bike.

Wow.

Oh okay, I thought he might know Raga and the breakdown.
So she's at mcquarie, isn't she.

Speaker 18 (28:00):
He's pretty made himself. He probably wouldn't mind making up for.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
So is it that you say it was quicker than
the Harley The trains, Well, he.

Speaker 18 (28:13):
Can do work and ring his old mom and do
other stuff so much better.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
It amazes me on those trains and how everyone's on
their phones. They must have unbelievable I don't know where
all the transmit yeah, connectivity.

Speaker 18 (28:29):
Activity, Yeah, under the water. What would my I'm eighty three,
what would my mother? Swink's dead?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Lots happening.

Speaker 18 (28:41):
Talking on a train and a tunnel underneath Sydney Harbor.
How does that work?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Does it even seen? That long ago? We're trying to
work out how fax machines work. But we've come a
long way since then, haven't we.

Speaker 18 (28:53):
Yes, well it was Gestetna's back in mind.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes, here we go, and that's smell of that. It
looks like a pretty nice place where he's living. It's
like in the middle of the bush ride, is it.
It's like in the middle of.

Speaker 18 (29:04):
Yes, it's fearing. I see.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's not too it's not too bush fiery.

Speaker 18 (29:12):
No, I'm heaven to defines out that way. It's not
too far from the Perimeta River.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
Its parame or the hawkspry Hawksbury.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah yeah, okay, I think even the paramede double around
that way. But look lovely to hear from your Pam. Thanks,
thank you for him ringing you and then for your
ringing us. That's what I like about Sydney. They're not
afraid of infrastructure twenty eight billion. But and the stations
look amazing. I'm hoping to get there quite soon and
check it out so well I could broadcast from them.

(29:47):
There's not much point or hero and the train. What's it?
You are just a fortunate on the phone card craze.
I've still got them, but they're not worth the plastic
they're printed on. Oh, by the way, here's something I
could ask, yep, do phone cards still work? The only

(30:08):
reason I ask is my youngest boy says about getting
a wallet. He wanted a wallet, cysed about getting it.
So I got him a wallet like you get him
on a dive shop, like a ripped curl one or
a billabong or something like that. And of course you
know the kids love it. Because they've got the valcrow

(30:30):
brought them both one. But he's got nothing to put
in this. He's got no money, he's got nothing to
put this, and it's got He said, what's this but for?
I said, that's for your cards? Haven't got me? I
said I haven't. So he's got a wallet with nothing
in it. So saying what cards can I get? I say, well,

(30:55):
I think you've got a km out card for a
color and competition. He got that the seniors and bluff Rung,
so he's got that thought. He's got a want. The
other thing has got is I said, well, maybe I
get him a phone card. I don't want to buy
your collection. I don't ever enough phone cards to phone
the I'll tell you what I'm bluff. You still often
see a lot of people on the container ships going

(31:17):
to the four Square to buy phone cards, so maybe
they're still using the phone boxes. Yeah, if anyone can
tell me with those two works, because he just wants
anything that he's got a he's got a hop card
for Auckland, and he's got a christ Church Opal card.
And I've come out some bits of cardboard and made
them like IDs. But it's looking pretty sad. Anyway to

(31:42):
give him some bitcoin a and a virtual wallet, desperate
because I remember the same time one of the cards
or those bits of plastic seems so adult. Evening Timmitt's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
Hey Marcus. Probably my rest investment was around two thousand
fifteen to two thousand and then not twelve to Dean
and it was a season ticket to the New Zealand Warriors. Wow, now,
mind you, I'm sorry, what was that.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
You wouldn't be expecting a return though, were you?

Speaker 18 (32:20):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (32:20):
I was expecting a return and results, definitely. But during
that period, whoever follows sports on this channel will know
that Warriors were very unsuccessful.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
But they weren't.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
They weren't as unsuccessful they have been. This year they
won eight out of twenty two.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
I'd say they were on power. With those seasons. It
was a bit of a struggle going to the games.
And I live in Hamilton, so a bit of a
distance for me.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, but I'll tell you what that year, that year
they went into it. But at least this year they
got good player as a good coach and they still
came badly. I mean it was that's why I can't
work out.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't work it out either, just
quickly on Sydney as well, Meta in particular has quite
as quite relevant in terms of history in New Zealand
because I'm pretty sure that Samuel Marsden and Thomas Kendall,
we're based at the Mission School there in Parameda. Now,
obviously whoever knows New Zealand history know that these two

(33:23):
individuals brought Christianity over to New Zealand and then they
took some Mildi chiefs from the North over there. And
I'm pretty sure that there's a park in Paramedter called
Only howa park named after the place in Northland where
they were based. And my understanding is that they are

(33:43):
going to build a more there in Parameda in the
coming years.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I think he's been trouble there with the Indigenous people
of Australia.

Speaker 9 (33:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Well, Hey, what can I just ask you what you
found the charter every year where the Warriors finished? What
year did? What year did you have? Twenty twelve to fifteen?

Speaker 9 (34:04):
So I was a season ticket holder for three seasons.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Okay, it was fourteenth, eleventh, and ninth. So they're improving, Yeah,
they were improving.

Speaker 9 (34:13):
But you know, I think that we didn't make the
eighth for about twelve years. Are pretty sure?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah we didn't.

Speaker 17 (34:20):
We didn't.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, the runner up in twenty eleven, then twenty twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
twenty eighteen they came eighth. Well they really have under
They really have underperformed, haven't they?

Speaker 9 (34:34):
I know, mate? And this year they underperformed again. So
before I die, I hope I see the Warriors when
the premiership, mate.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I don't follow oh, I follow the Warrior. I follow
league quite close, or I mean I know a little
bit about it. I follow it. I'm interested in it.
It seemed to me, and I went to a few
games this year in Australia, but it seemed to me
there was a game that there was a game then
where Ad and Vanua Blake didn't come to the song

(35:03):
afterwards and they penalized him and the season and season
didn't seem to be right after that, almost like there
was an over there was he wanted to go at
the end of the beginning of the season and he
went out of his contract and wasn't allowed it. I
just can't work out what happened.

Speaker 9 (35:17):
Was that the one that gets the penses in Brisbane.
Were you in Brisbane?

Speaker 18 (35:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I wasn't that one, but that's the one that there
was the situation. Yeah, they won it, yeah, and then
he broke prodoca.

Speaker 9 (35:26):
Right, Yeah, that's right. But oh well we'll just have
to hope and went until next season as we always see.
Let's tell you they have a good one.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Less you.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Thanks Tim. Sixteen past nine Matt Marcus, Welcome, Gay.

Speaker 20 (35:41):
I'm just going to talk about cards for your kids.
And there's a great endsed app put out by these
Gillners to teach financial literacy for children. It's called Square one. Basically,
what you do is you give your kids jobs to do,
and once you've checked it off and put some money
into their little f PAS debit card and they can

(36:04):
just use that to go home and buy things.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (36:11):
Yeah, so go and go to the act store. It's
Square one and yes, depically where I was to teach
them buying for literacy and they can have their cool
little f post card that they can go and buy things.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I've never heard of it.

Speaker 20 (36:26):
Yeah, that's quite new. I heard about it at a
conference that I went to and the owners were doing
a presentation and yeah, it's great. Definitely New Zealand company.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
So yeah, I see they charged five bucks a month.
What's the difference from just putting your money into the
postcard that you've kild have got and giving them pocket
money that way?

Speaker 20 (36:52):
Oh, it's great because they the kids can get it
on their iPad or something like that and they can
tick their jobs off and then.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
There's an interface with that. There's a okay, okay, they
need they need Do they need an iPad as well
to they Oh.

Speaker 20 (37:08):
They don't have to that else can take it off themselves.
But it's just probably had added a little bit.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Of fun for them.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
I appreciate that, Matt, thank you. I think you'll also
restrict how much they spend according to a texter. Goodness,
we're not going to go to the dairy in the snow. Trudge, Trudge, Trudge.
Who's this guy Rattus raving about keen o Kinney. He's
pretty good A here's a pocket rocket there he is

(37:35):
watching him now? Okay. Another one that got away. Ostriches
were a big get rich scheme scheme there for a while.
Goats Angora rabbits. I don't know what else you might

(37:57):
have got involved with, but I'm up with these discussions
and when your dreams suddenly change. Gosh, sober, sobering reading
reading the Warriors when loss record, they've been there since

(38:19):
nineteen ninety five, they've only been in the point here
to see the season nine times out of thirty should
have start with Ivan Cleary. They were the magic years. Jimmy,
it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 21 (38:40):
Yeah, you didn't much got a story about a yea
good made of mine and a get ridge stevy yea
what it was you wanted to go? Hans in a
race horse? I'm like, and I'll tell you the name
of the horse.

Speaker 22 (38:58):
You'll go house.

Speaker 21 (38:59):
I say nothing about horses. I don't know what to
feed them.

Speaker 10 (39:02):
I know nothing.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
He gives ma.

Speaker 21 (39:05):
Whether horse will go, that's not everything. So I couldn't
help myself. Well out, Yeah, horse was maybe serious pleasure.
So yeah, I bought half rails costs me terrible thing.
You only get paid out in the top four, got
fIF so many times terrible.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Because you've got to pay a lot each week for
the training too, do you.

Speaker 21 (39:34):
Yeah, there's this training thing and then there's the grazing
sea when it's not training. So yeah, we want to
tyr up roughly done, had a bit of a crack. Yeah,
don't give away your self, Razels, even if I've got
a name that you quite.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Like, because you'd feel you'd also feel judy bound to
recoup your losses by punting big on it. Is that
the is that the mentality? Jeez there, Jimmy seem like
I was serving two masters. Jimmy was was here. What
I'm saying if you hit a race course you think, oh,
I'll get my money back, I'll beat on it. Johnny,
it's Marcus welcome, coodect thing.

Speaker 7 (40:09):
Mark, nony nonsense, nonny juice.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Oh wow, yes, I know a little bit of it.
It's like a cock raratongan thing. Is that right?

Speaker 7 (40:21):
Apparently these lies came from the rainforests of Peru. But
I met a guy at a bust off many years ago,
and the next thing, he's at my house doing his
cardboard display unit and giving me the spell. There's lots
of stick on the benefits of nonny juice, which has

(40:42):
no proven medical benefits and can damage your liver, but
taste terrible and costs a lot. And he got me
to convinced me to get a bunch of my friends
to come around for her. I don't know what you
call the consultation. And it's going to cost us a
thousand dollars each to invest in buying these bottles of stuff,

(41:02):
and yeah, it's just awful chasing. And so yeah, I
bought I think twelve boxes the rems of twelve hundred
dollars and didn't sell one bottle. That was in twenty eleven.
I'm a little bit more students now.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
So did you did you manage a drip? Was it
any use to anyone? You didn't drink in the end?
Did you?

Speaker 17 (41:30):
No?

Speaker 7 (41:30):
No, in the end, you couldn't give it away.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
And so tell me, Johnny, why did they? Why did
because it was everywhere? But why did people decide that
you had to sell it on the down low? Why
wasn't it through normal channels? Is that because even then
they knew it was a dud?

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Yeah, I think so. I mean that the therapeutic goods
act a lot of people don't really know about, especially
in Dales. So the people overseas there was because I
looked this up, right, and they supposedly for cancer and
high blood pressure and you know, yeah, but there's no
good scientific giving if you google it. That's exactly what
it says. And the FDA has got multiple warnings to

(42:11):
nonny manufacturers for making health claims that aren't supported by
any research. But yeah, that was one thing. And the
other one I got caught up and was Western Bay Finance,
and it made it was an ambulance driver and he
said a little bit of accounting on the side and
many years ago, and yeah, blue chip investments, and I

(42:33):
put I think five thousand dollars into that and turned
out in the end the one of the guys that
ran it went to jail for about eight months millions
of dollars and then moved to Indonesia and set himself
up as a king and a small village. So you know, okay,
Western Bay Finance, and.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
So just look at Wikipedia. Now to Johnny ninety plants
seems to have been roundly found out to be dangerous.
Right for the toxicity, Well, that's dangerous. You wouldn't want
anything to do with it, would you.

Speaker 7 (43:07):
No, No, that's right. And you know, but I guess
you know, when you have that real m way style
roam and type set up, you want to believe the
good stuff when they're giving you the spill and yeah,
it was quite fascinating for me, just as an exercise
and learning, because I sort of knew all the way

(43:28):
along that was rubbish. But the guy was so good
vincing off.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
In the way I'm going to run for use, Johnny.
But nice to talk to you. Thank you, wouldn't I
talking a bit more about that. I presume that there
was also the claim that you know that traditionally had
been used for a long long time as medicine. There
must be benefits to that. My name's Marcus, Welcome. I
hope it's good where you are. We are talking, amongst
other things, about get rich quick schemes. Yeah, I like that, Johnny.

(43:59):
At the ninety juice I was and rare tongue. A
number of years ago. It must have been our late nineties.
Everyone was talking about it then. It was the great
new thing and had remarkable properties. But yet I haven't
known anything about it since. But that's probably the reason
it's toxic. I think part of the coffee family. Mirinda Citrifolia.

(44:33):
I don't know. I mean a lot of those things
spring up from time and time again. People think they've
got all sorts of reasons. It's all sorts of health properties.
Also at the same time there was a very big
world ride obsession, not obsession, but a worldwide fervor with

(44:55):
Carver and how useful that would be for things like
in sort of red bull typed drinks. We did how
much about that? But get rich schames, get rich quick schemes,
you get and that's classic. That's the good things John
with the ones. I was thinking of the old nonny
juice ones like that, pyramid selling parties, selling all those
sorts of things. I don't know what you're involved in,

(45:17):
but I'd like to hear about it. Hi being Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
Hey mate, how's it going good? Yeah, the money making schemes.
My dad was always quite a fucker for you know,
kind of get rich quickly kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
How stressful?

Speaker 6 (45:37):
Yeah, yeah, but he always told us to always save
our money.

Speaker 19 (45:41):
Oh good, yep, yeah, I will say that.

Speaker 6 (45:44):
And so my dad has passed, but just before he
party invested a good amount of US money into a
power company based over in Singapore. Yeah, and what it is.
It's basically a token based kind of like bitcoin, but
token based power company. And till this day it hasn't

(46:08):
gone live. We can't get hold of anything, and it
was this big get rich kind of scheme.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Because you will make that to work, and your father's
on he too, wouldn't you you'd be invested that does
work for his sake and his legacy, that he finally
picked a winner.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
Well that's it. But you know, like definitely, But at
the same time, like I'm the youngest of three, We've
got to the point it's like it's not our money,
you know, didn't we didn't even know he did it.
If it fails, it fails. If it works, it works.
But till this day we don't. We don't hear back
from any of the company at all through emails, text

(46:47):
calls or anything. So I think it's gone.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
But how long goo? How go? Was it?

Speaker 21 (46:53):
So that was too?

Speaker 6 (46:55):
Twenty one twenty one is when he passes. For about
six months prior to them passing.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
And what are the whispers on the inset about it
that it's done?

Speaker 6 (47:08):
You can't even you don't even know if it's done.
The company name is up there still, you know, floating around,
but there hasn't been any update since twenty twenty one.
It's always been like the last we actually heard from
him was over in twenty twenty two in a certain month,
then it's just like it's going to be we think

(47:30):
the money is just gone. Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
What was some of the other stuff that he got
got into?

Speaker 6 (47:41):
One thing he got into, and this is debatable, but
I think the one thing he got into was Yustana
as a health supplement. Yeah food that yeah, yeah, And
I'll say it is some people say it isn't. From
my point of view, the way I saw how it
worked with him and the people that he worked with,

(48:02):
it seemed like the classic Navilla kind of ski.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
You work with a team, you have.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
A leader, you recruit people below you, and you're honest
out and you make up by doing that.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Is that? That's like herbal life is a bit like
that too, isn't it?

Speaker 7 (48:21):
That?

Speaker 6 (48:22):
And before that, back in the day, like he was
a real estate agent, but he was also trying to
make money through Yeah, and next thing I know, he's
also buying you know, the classic advertisement stuff on TV
lad at night, the heaters, all the stuff you don't need.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Oh, I kind of you kind of appreciate that. What's
your dad? So you gonta appreciate it from an outside
of point of view. You appreciate something like that for
the just the sense of kind of adventure for life
that they're they're kind of quite brave and getting into everything,
aren't they. I Mean they've got a real curiosity and
a real excitement about stuff.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
Oh and it's made me. Actually, I've always been a
bad favor, but just after learning what he's done and
seeing what he's done, it's made me a bit more.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (49:11):
So it was money.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
It was because I'd never work out with herber Life
for any of these things. But at the end of
the day, is the actually a product.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
You it's it's a product that you have to buy
the product, but then you've also got to sell a
certain amount to make money, and.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Then you got to have a garage full of sort
of boxes of stuff. Don't you go try it on sell?

Speaker 7 (49:33):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
And it's just like that guy said before about you
know it comes you do a consultation, you've got to
pay for the consultation. So that's another way you can
make a little bit of money for the product that
you bought. Otherwise you're always in the negatives.

Speaker 10 (49:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Okay, I love it, Ben Thick.

Speaker 10 (49:48):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (49:49):
I was just going to say that the main target
that we started to notice was the elderly, the people
that were in their last ten twenty, you know, ten
to five years and had to be money.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
But Galligo, nice to talk Ben, Thanks so much. Marcus
would be forty years ago now. I owned a vacant
royal block in Fenuapai, West Auckland. I was approached by
a local nurseryman with eye watering numbers from cultivating Kentier
palms and proposed a joint venture. All I had to

(50:25):
do was build the glasshouses and he would look after
the rest. So I did that. Some three years later
in the maturing palms, and I could value. I visited
the glasshouse and found them empty. Never saw or heard
from my so called partner again heard he made serious
coin from the sale of the palms where they were everywhere.

(50:46):
In a sudden, in a hurry went they ken her palms.
Primrose at s Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 23 (50:53):
Hi, Hey, nice to meet you. I've just started listening
to you recently and you were quite a nice, joyful
chap to listen to. Very intelligent.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Muster phone met you Primrose too, so I'm ringing to.

Speaker 24 (51:08):
Talk to you.

Speaker 23 (51:08):
About E sixty five.

Speaker 24 (51:10):
Have you heard of that?

Speaker 13 (51:12):
Never?

Speaker 7 (51:13):
Never?

Speaker 24 (51:14):
Okay well, and.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
I haven't googled it.

Speaker 10 (51:16):
Some moliars okay well.

Speaker 23 (51:19):
E sixty five was a scheme that was dreamed up
by Mike.

Speaker 24 (51:24):
Pulis in Jakata, and he.

Speaker 23 (51:28):
Had quite quite a big following around the world. You
would fill in a form, you'd an application form for
insurance and so it was like an endowment sixty five policy.
You'd send your beertificate and and id over. The policy

(51:49):
was take supposedly taken out with company and when you
got to sixty five, he would be paid out money.
But he kept changing the details of where to get
hold of him, and we were told, oh, if you
doubt this is going to happen, well I'm going.

Speaker 18 (52:07):
To pull the plug on it.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Oh wow.

Speaker 23 (52:09):
So I would be really interested, and you had to
pay money to do it, So I'd be really interested.
If any of the listeners have heard of Mike Paulis
from Jakarta, How to get hold of him?

Speaker 2 (52:21):
How do you say the surname back name Paulus po.

Speaker 24 (52:24):
R Paulis, p o U l os Paulis And.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
How much money? How much money? How did you find
out about it?

Speaker 23 (52:34):
Friend told me, okay, and she heard it through a friend,
so it was it wasn't Chang mall or anything like that.
It was just personal recommendations. It was like, oh, well,
it's not that much money, and that's a long way
away in my life, so I will just see what happens.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
So you got them, you got the payout when you're
sixty five supposed to?

Speaker 24 (52:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (52:55):
And how much had you put in or how much
were you supposed to put in?

Speaker 23 (53:00):
I didn't put in too much, maybe maybe two hundred
dollars or something, okay, But he unholds, he unfold their policies.
I believe, well know he was living a rich life.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
It sounds like a classic Ponzi scheme. What age were
you when you put it in?

Speaker 10 (53:18):
Ah?

Speaker 22 (53:18):
Well did e goo?

Speaker 24 (53:21):
I was early fourteen?

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Okay, so it's twenty four okay. Well and nothing okay.
And there's nothing on the intet about him or anything
like that. Not much, Okay, we'll find out. We'll see
if anyone else knows. Primrose, thank you went to any
of this stuff? Fine, that's quite interesting. I'm get in touch. Yeah, Oh,

(53:49):
RAWI has had a bad investment in the back of
a pub and Takapuna. What pub was it? Kieran Marcus welcome, Hello,
Hi Kieran, Hell yeah, good, thank you. Kieren Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (54:08):
Yep.

Speaker 15 (54:11):
So I'm ringing up about Kirby vacuum cleaners.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Oh yeah, well okay, did you sell them or did
you buy them?

Speaker 15 (54:21):
No, my parents bought one and I am now the
recipient of that Kirby vacuum cleaner because they were selling
for like three grand back in the eighties or whenever.
They were selling them door to door. Yeah, and so
you know, they were getting making sure that you know,

(54:43):
both parents were in the house when they were being
sold because of the value, well the cost of them.
You know, the wife bought them in the the dad
didn't light the price of them. Well, you know, that
was the sale that they weren't going to get.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
They were they were they were really expensive. But they're
pretty good, weren't they.

Speaker 15 (55:09):
Yeah, well built like you know, a brick shit house
basically because they're built to last. And so mum and
Dad haven't used theirs and years and it just happened
to be sitting in the garage and I says, well,
I'll take it. If you're not going to use it,
and so I've just got like been in and picked

(55:29):
up the rest of the things because it it washes
your carpets and you can you know that they have
bits that you put on it to you know, clean
your mattress and you know it's a floor polisher, so
you know, like I mean, they're probably worth what they're
a bit they.

Speaker 9 (55:47):
Were told for.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
And you get the bags reasonably.

Speaker 15 (55:52):
Well you use the same bag basically you can you know,
empty it and you know, like I say, I think
they've got to guarantee of a lifetime.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
More about the nice to hear from you, O, congratulations
on your new vacuum clean That sounds like quite exciting.
It sounds stoked for that. Marcus I got sucked into
buying the Kubi about seven years ago, about four grand.
Took a long time to pay it off. Worked really
well too, did everything that person said. Wish I'd got

(56:26):
at the breakup. Jace dead now, But at one days
the old man got into Amway. Even as eleven and twelve,
I could tell it was stupid. He was excited. Was
both stupid and sad to watch. It's heartbreaking. Marcus. I
had a friend who always pushed Amway on me all
the time saying you'll get rich. Neither him or I

(56:47):
got rich. Tannia. I bought three apartments off the plans.
They were going to be my retirement plan. All leaky
homes I live in. One cost one point thirty k
to fixed, sold one at a loss. It's couldn't to
fix it. Third one need a new roof. Struggling to
pay for those repeat at the moment I'm sixty seventy
six years old, it's going to like work.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
King.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
That's from Keathy Marcus. My lovely in laws spent years
setting off entries to reader's dietist competitions that made out
there on a brink of a fortune. They also had
a garage full of golden cleaning products, which was using
poor Man's am way. They had to purchase the products

(57:29):
for sale, and indeed it proved to be the poor
man's multi level marketing scheme. Regards Owen, get in touch
if you want to talk Laureates Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 10 (57:39):
Him.

Speaker 19 (57:39):
Marcus, I don't think you've brought up the Goji Berri's schemes.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Well, someone's look hang on someone. A guy called Johnny
mentioned Nony Berry. Is that the same thing.

Speaker 19 (57:54):
I thought, Well, goji was the term that, oh supply
they were. I think they were supposedly from up in
the Himalayas or something like that.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
You know, Gojis are quite different. I've eaten peckets of goji's,
and you got to be quite careful because they do
go straight through you. They're philly full on, all right.

Speaker 19 (58:15):
You an acquaintance of mine, I reckon he was on
to a good thing, you know, health wise, but also
he could also line me up with a weld to
buy these things in bulk and sell them on, which
I decline that I think he brought Philly heavily into them,

(58:35):
but I think he ended up having to work his
way through them that you don't hear of them anymore.
Although I suppose to you that the genuine article must
have been, or supposedly was, quite good.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
But that why some products find themselves down these channels
of parties selling and stuff like that. I can't quite
work out why, if they're any good, they just don't
end up mainly in the shops.

Speaker 19 (59:04):
Yeah, well, that's the where these spit of salesmanship comes
in at times. You know, we've are so rare that
an opportunity, opportunity for you. But the a bit like well,
those old Kirby vacuum cleaners that that person that rang

(59:24):
in there's still in Paris North. There's still one agency
round that does fix those things if she has a
problem that or we still got to sign on in
the window saying an agency for Kirby.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
So yeah, Laurel and I've talked about it on talk back,
but don't experience when were they a big thing? Was
it like the eighties?

Speaker 19 (59:46):
Yeah, in the eighties, Yeah, yep, we had the demo
come through, do the big demonstration you know, in your
bed based or your bedroom and even want to sort
of do this. They particularly liked putting it into your
onto your mattress and then they would suck it up
and show how much I suppose the dead skin that down.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Well, that's not going to kill cheaper. But no one
needs to see that.

Speaker 19 (01:00:16):
But but I but I think that was supposed to
be the thing that was going to shock you into
buying them, you know. And you know they had university students,
you know, sort of on a commission I suppose, you know,
sort of flogging these things. They really had to put
a lot of work and you know he's sort of that. Yeah,
he almost broke his heart when we didn't buy it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
But that's part and I'm sure that's part of it.
You get yourself hang on, we've got it now. He
thinks he's got a sail.

Speaker 19 (01:00:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's in disbelief. How he could how could
you turn me down.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Any second hand on trading. I'm going to run, but
nice to talk to you. Thank you, Kerry Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):

Okay, yeah is it?

Speaker 10 (01:01:46):
Are you here?

best vacuum out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
And you sell them doors a door at a shop.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Yeah, cold calling when I was about eighteen nineteen. And
when I got a yes, that kept me gone. But
no after no, after no, and there was a you
couldn't do it. Now, I don't think they'd all get repossessed,

(01:02:29):
all right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Are you saying people wouldn't have the money? Is that
what you're saying?

How much?

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
How much were they?

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Oh gee, we're looking about seven hundred bucks from memory?
They were, but they were a good vacum they they
will what do you call them?

Speaker 10 (01:02:54):
Try?

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
And a wash as well.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Came with all the whistles, dolls and whistles.

Speaker 11 (01:02:58):
So you still buy them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
But I'm not sure where did you take the VEX
two thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Yep yep back two thousand the yep yep, and.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
And how ci how much how much would you get
selling one?

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
You we're talking a long time ago. Maybe a couple
of hundred bucks, not even.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
There, Okay, I would you tell a couple of night now?

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Ah well that was the aim to sell about four
a week or something, but then never happened. I didn't
do it very long.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
You've heard too much of a nice guy, Kiro was
what I was going to ask when there before the
conversation took a different tech. Is it snowing? Is it
snowing a long way or just on the hell?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Oh yeah, I mean it's pretty clear at the moment
I've got about so probably won't be too bad. But
the pretty, the pretty paran aliady about closing the road
these days.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Okay, you're just cutting out now, Kiri. But nice to
hear from you. It's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:03:59):
Welcome, Hello, Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:04:01):
May I change? Do you please? I'm not to talk
about the das you mention the dancer on Friday and said,
didn't I, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
What happened on Saturday? The key is Gidney wins.

Speaker 24 (01:04:12):
The Friday night there were six kiwis playing six kiwis.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Yeah, I saw it on the Friday, But what about
the Saturday no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
No, no.

Speaker 24 (01:04:22):
On Saturday. The keys were out on Saturday. But the
best game of all was Po and Rob Cross.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Ye I saw that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Did you see that?

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
Five six? Ye?

Speaker 24 (01:04:34):
And then the two boys and the two young boys
they played in the SMI finals, the two young Lukes Yep.

Speaker 19 (01:04:42):
And Littler.

Speaker 24 (01:04:43):
He was ahead of Humphreys and Humphreys who were six two.
He was six to five two and Humphreys just screamed
past them. And then he played Humphrey's played Heather and
it was another close game.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
But humph here's the here does the Australian.

Speaker 24 (01:05:02):
Eh, he was Australia, but he's part MA, don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Me he's got a surname Hitter. But he came on.
Here was funny. He got, he got, He came on
and did the ray gun dance. He was hysterical exactly
with a.

Speaker 8 (01:05:19):
Whig. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Were you at Hamilton faith for you just watch on
the box?

Speaker 24 (01:05:23):
No, no, no, no, I watched it from seven to eleven.
Then I watched you Saturday night, Saturday night, sitting to
eleven and twitched over. So the bags half past one,
both morning to bed. But as I say, funny, the
best game of all was Rob cross and to her, yeah,
who missed double eight three times?

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
He would have won.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Well, look, they reckon he's the real deal and he
was a great golfer and then moved to christ Church
for the rebuild and then got involved there and picked
up darts, and they reckon that he's got the drive
and support he could go all the way.

Speaker 24 (01:05:57):
It was a good two nights, so well deserved Hamilton
has put it on. It was really interesting. It was
a lovely night both marked.

Speaker 19 (01:06:03):
I watched.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
So the second night with the first night was kind
of the heat and the second night was like the
semis in the final?

Speaker 7 (01:06:10):
Was it?

Speaker 24 (01:06:12):
The second night was quarterfinals?

Speaker 10 (01:06:14):
Okay, full of the semifinals.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
At the finals, I always feel.

Speaker 24 (01:06:21):
About there's no and there's no innocent, all the big
shots around him.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
I see the Aussie guy was there. There was a
stupid haircut. He's still there, isn't he? Peter Peter right,
not Peter, the Aussie guy with the long dreadlocks. And
he's got a sort of a lifeless kind of form.

Speaker 10 (01:06:38):
You know him?

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, terrible that.

Speaker 24 (01:06:45):
Crazy here to beat him?

Speaker 22 (01:06:48):
Sixth one?

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Oh god, I don't like Whitlock at all. He's been
boring forever.

Speaker 24 (01:06:53):
But Peter right, Peter Wright was the right, Peter Right. Yep,
he beat he Daniel Snooth sixth board. So I sat
into all the little listen, you know, the game's down
and all the runners and all right, all pretty nice
to mind.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
And Friday night, God, I should have gone down.

Speaker 24 (01:07:18):
Keeping in her crowd.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Nice to talk. I thank someone to Angus at Marcus.
Good evening and welcome high Angus by Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
I'm just thinking about the get rich Quick schemes and
the old the m way thing that was that was
sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Well, I don't know. Not only did I not get
involved with it. I've never bought me either, But you
tell me your experience.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
You know, you'd see somebody hadn't seen for a long time.
You know, you know, look what I'm selling now, and
you'll be like, and then next thing, you know, you've
got five hundred cakes of soap you don't want.

Speaker 9 (01:07:56):
In your house.

Speaker 10 (01:07:58):
But what it was just.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
You had to then become a seller and then flog
it off. Didn't you that you couldn't just buy it?

Speaker 10 (01:08:05):
Did she?

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
They'd sell some as well.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
That's yeah, it was like a pyramid scheme. I think,
like you know, there's always a bit of money to
go further up the chain, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
So they weren't just trying to get you as it.
They weren't just trying to get you to buy the product.
They wanted you to come on as a seller to
spread it out, didn't they for different layers.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
It was like a bit of a cult really, you know,
and then it just sort of flaws down. But apparently
it's still going.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
So, yeah, did anyone get rich? I guess you needed
really good context through sport or something to do it.
You need to have a lot, you need to be
quite a social person. That didn't really mind, because you
get sick of people go troubling you the whole time.
Wouldn't you get sick of it, wouldn't you?

Speaker 8 (01:08:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
I mean you'd want to try and flung off with
your social groups or your social circles. But I think
the more you sound that, you know, the more you
can climb up the pyramid. That I think it was
quite hard to do, because you know, people were founded
a bit pointless probably that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Yeah, did you become a seller?

Speaker 8 (01:09:04):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
No, no, no, but definitely fell victim to it once
or twice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
And what was the product?

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
Oh, just you know, it was like household items, you know,
like soaps and things like that. I can't quite remember,
but yeah, used to get used to get soaps and
things like that. They were good products, nothing wrong with them,
but you know, you may as I just get it
from you know, the super and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
They weren't anything extraordinary, were they.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
I don't think so. But yeah, I think it started
in the stakes. And I guess it's probably a bit
like a couple of weird things.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Really, you're like us too, if you've got I mean,
I guess the whole thing about direct selling is something
that you haven't got the shops and all those things.
So that makes sense, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Yeah, I mean I guess there's probably a bit less overheads,
but I just it just never made any sense, you know,
like washing powder and soap. Might wantn't just be easier
get it from the shops, but who knows?

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Who knows or from costco now angus, thanks nice to
talk like the person that's gone about phone cards or
or number plates. There's been a lot of them that
used to come along that quite your phone cards was
a clag one. We have a discussion. Go so tell
how much it's gonna be there. I think, you know,
these people truly believe it's going to double and duble
all day sitting and gee, really you think about a

(01:10:18):
long thing that why? And the thing about phone cards
is that they were never ever that valuable and the
technology was overtaken by cell phones really quickly. I was
asking you, I don't even know if you can still
buy phone cards? Can you they're still work? Are their

(01:10:40):
phone boxes that still work? I don't think when the
last time I would have used one was. It would
be ten years ago, if not slightly longer, probably when
I was out walking and my phone had lost charge
and had to buy a phone card. But technology at

(01:11:00):
the time was fine. But yes, one you seven them
one your postcards you could swipe anyway. I was refinancing
our mortgage. My ex wife said, you wanted thirty thousand
to go into business with her girlfriend to create an
island coco business. Turns out it was with her boyfriend.

(01:11:22):
Nothing came out of the scheme, name withheld. Do you
think there's a possible link between people that fall for
obvious get rich schemes and those who follow QAnon conspiracies? Amy,
I remember the nineties friends collecting phone cards as they
were going to be worth a lot of money in
the future. What happened to them, Well, they've all still

(01:11:44):
got them there, worth and nothing. It was only ever
going to be temp free technology, was it, Because we're
always going to get mobile phones, Marcus. So they can
build a train track under the water of Sydney Harbor Bridge,
but for decades Auckland still structure to still struggle to
build find a way to a bike walking lane over

(01:12:05):
our harbor Bridge car. To be fair though, I think
in Sydney the sandstone and the size of it profile
means it's a lot easier to tunnel. But they've got
some great trains. What a great city Sydney is, Marcus.
I spent a few k on an AI trading bot
program and about dreams. If I leave my radio on,

(01:12:28):
sometimes I'll dream about the person talking so far, Mike
Hosking and Wendy Petree Dion. Has anyone dreamed about me?
Is it when the radio has been left on. I
don't want to sound egotistic. Got to be curious to know,
because you I've had that. When you have the radio,
want it and infiltrates your dreams. I'll find that interesting.

(01:12:48):
Actually about that, not that Wendy Peet trees on much
don I and jeep As It's very specific, Marcus. In
the nineties there was a lot of hype about a
movement or organization called Investors International. People bought tickets to

(01:13:11):
go to a seminar and Kohala long for Investor big
money schemes. I've had lost at all. Bright moon is
right about my home in christ Church, Marcus. I don't
get why people care about the moon, Like, how is
it life changing? Just makes me think call it's the moon,
clear night and teedovery, cold and wet hail at two pm.

(01:13:33):
Thank you, But I means about the darts. But it
means about the warriors, Marcus. I've had Tim Beveridge in
my dreams hosting his overnight show and Neva doing the
weather in the five em news. It's kind of scary
but really funny. I might end up hearing Roman later

(01:13:54):
in the morning, Marcus. Pretty excited to hear about the
potential reinstanding of the UK and Wellington overnight train service,
a step up, an eco friendliness, et cetera. It'll never happen,
and I love trains, but it will never happen because

(01:14:16):
there is no demand. The sort of people that say
they'll catch those trains will never catch them. It's but
we can dream. I see there's a Facebook page relaunched
for the train between christ Church and v Cargo that

(01:14:37):
also won't happen. But yeah, Fred, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
Hello Margus. Just been discussing with somebody about viewing of
the Southern Lights or the Southern or Aurora. Can you
still see it down from your way at the moment?

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
No, I think it was. I think I think it was.
It was trending high last week. The weather hasn't been great,
so there's a bit of color in the sky one
of the days last week, but not since then.

Speaker 5 (01:15:13):
Okay, thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
We're thinking of coming down for it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:18):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
You've got it. It's going to be pretty special for
the Where do you live, Fred Outen, you'd fly for
the Southern.

Speaker 12 (01:15:29):
Lights, well if I could, if it was reasonably guaranteed
there was a reasonable chance of seeing it. But I
realized looking at look at the information that I have read,
it's probably at the end of the possibilities.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Yeah, and I've only I've only paid in twenty years.
I play only said it three or four times where
it's like light up and pretty exciting. That's my take
on that, Fred. But look, if ever I see anything,
I'll let you know. Tom. It's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:16:05):
Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:16:08):
This business about not enough power, there was a big
article in the Sunday Star Times about it, and I
think they didn't say this roughly, but I think New
Zealand needs to seriously think about where they're going to
get their power in the future. And I don't think

(01:16:31):
that's happening. They're talking about gas and they're talking about
building another call fire power station in New Zealand, which
has got to last twenty years if you build one,
And I mean, I think it's a bit going to
be a big problem in the future in Australia and

(01:16:55):
New Zealand with power.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
I just imagine, I just imagine that the price of
solar has come down so far that everyone was going
to just put those on the roof and put them
into the grid and that was going to solve all
sorts of problems.

Speaker 22 (01:17:12):
Well, according to my accordant to our friend of mine,
if you have excess energy, a solar panels and you'll
get excess electricity. The power companies will.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Not take it any and it's going to change. That's
the whole point, because people need to become the providers
and sellers of electricity, and that's when people really up
skill for it, because not everyone wants patteries. They want
to be able to sell it into the grid and
then use it back.

Speaker 22 (01:17:45):
Well, I mean, I mean England's got huge wind farms
off their course in England. Yes, there's no reason why
we can't have this here, and we could have. According
to the latest farm papers, the farmers are starting to
have solar farms on the sheet on the farms.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
Is it working out for them?

Speaker 22 (01:18:09):
Pardon?

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
Is it working out for them?

Speaker 8 (01:18:13):
No?

Speaker 22 (01:18:13):
Well it hasn't started starting now, Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:18:18):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
They reckon solar and sheep farming work well together.

Speaker 22 (01:18:24):
Yes, that's what's it's said in the farm makes sense,
doesn't it when you consider the biggest solar farms, And
this is the way we have to think. The biggest
solar farms in the world.

Speaker 10 (01:18:38):
Is in China, yep.

Speaker 22 (01:18:41):
And the country uses the most pollution in the world
coal pollution is India.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Yeah, China's extraordinary. How quickly are they going to dominate
the world with I mean, most of our electric cars
will be Chinese cars before too long. They're absolutely cleaning up.
And it seems like in Beijing their entire fleet now
or the vehicles have gone electric. And if you've got
a diesel a car or a petrol car, right, yes,

(01:19:12):
you've got to nominate one day a week, which is
on the car that you can't drive it. Yes, and
that's caused everyone to pivot towards electric cars because obviously
they're more efficient because you can drive them seven days
rather than six, which is not a bad idea.

Speaker 22 (01:19:29):
Here we go, Well, we've got the seriously to think
where we're going to get the energy from from the future.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
On our roofs bringing into the grid.

Speaker 22 (01:19:41):
Yes, but that's not the way. That's not the way
they're thinking at the moment. We're still thinking in the past.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Well yeah, yeah, but that's because they lack the government
lacks initiative, that would be my take, Jamie Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:20:04):
Evening Marcus. It's funny you brought up the Chinese cars, mate,
because I was quite the fan when I heard they
were doing the thousand k's plus on one charge.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
And the changing the charging in fifteen minutes or ten
minutes or something.

Speaker 8 (01:20:18):
Yeah, they're doing twice twice on the Testla does.

Speaker 17 (01:20:20):
So.

Speaker 8 (01:20:22):
I don't know if you know much about how China
runs their runs their platforms on YouTube and stuff. So
if you put something up about China odds on, it's
pulled off in a couple of weeks if it's bad.
So anyway, if you're fast enough, you can get on
and see some of these videos. These people are posting
the amount of cars, the electric cars, and I'm a
huge electric car fan, but the amount of electric cars

(01:20:43):
in China that are just randomly catching fire is amazing.

Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
Oh god.

Speaker 8 (01:20:49):
Yeah, So I don't know. I don't know if there'll
be a huge catch on in the world, because you know,
once they hit the world market properly, you won't be
able to hold the fires.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
But they aren't they already aren't they already hitting the
market in the world.

Speaker 8 (01:21:05):
Not the ones that the Chinese people are using. We're
not getting there. We're getting the we're not getting there
the thousand k range ones. Yet these ones that are
catching fire. There's the Tesla ripoffs effectively everything like a
Tesla without the Tesla badge.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
You know, maybe they're not catching fire.

Speaker 8 (01:21:30):
Oh now they're catching fire. There's a ton of that
you posted and pulled down you I mean, yeah, okay,
but what you know, like the like the flood they
just had, you didn't see much news about that either
made and that was devastating. They hide their stuff quite well.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
Okay, So you're saying we're not getting Chinese cars because
they catch fire. Very hard to disprove that.

Speaker 8 (01:21:50):
But no, no, I'm not saying we're not getting them
because we're they're catching fire. I'm just saying in China,
where they're produced, one of the biggest problems with them
is they're randomly catching fire. There's plenty of videos where
people have been driving down the street and the car
of the bottoms on fire and stuff, or it's parked
on the side of the road it's on fire, it's
in their garages on fire. There's lots of them, but

(01:22:12):
they get pulled off YouTube pretty fast.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Who controls YouTube, I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:22:21):
Not sure, American company, I'm presuming, and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
They're putting the videos off YouTube.

Speaker 8 (01:22:26):
The same reason why, the same reason why China isn't
a huge fan of TikTok like and in China, you
can't get TikTok. The CCP have their own version of TikTok.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
They hang on Jamie, I thought TikTok was Chinese.

Speaker 8 (01:22:41):
Yeah, it's owned by a Chinese guy. In China, it's different.
So in China, instead of having all of these apps,
you have we app. So it's a one app that
has everything. It has your Facebook. You know, you rip
off Facebook version, you rip off TikTok, but that TikTok
that are actually one we see you're not all out
there in China, so the version everything on this one app.

(01:23:07):
They also want.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
I'm getting it overwhelmed. But you're throwing information, Jamie, because
you're saying that China, despite the story hearing about the
China electric cars, right, you're saying that they are not
as advanced as the American electric cars and they're catching
fire all the time.

Speaker 8 (01:23:28):
I'm saying a particular type of car over there using
and purchasing, which which time I couldn't be one hundred
percent sure because.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
We always see all these videos of tests catching fire
as well. I think a lot of that's just from
the people that don't like electric cars, kind of highlighting
and promoting videos with cars on fire.

Speaker 8 (01:23:51):
So I don't even know how, but I myself am
an electric caffeine. I think that like electric vehicles.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Yeah, but that's neither here nor there. If you've been
exposed a lot of videos of people, but yeah, I
don't even know what to draw from that. But I'll
tell you what ten years. In ten years, I'm talking.

Speaker 8 (01:24:15):
I'll see the answer to our future. Sorry over, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
Saying in ten years, the majority of the cars on
the road will be in New Zealand, I imagine will
be Chinese electric cars. It's my take.

Speaker 8 (01:24:26):
Oh, Korean, more leg of Korean? Why much better cars?
I've already taken off in New Zealand, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
Yeah, but but it was American cars, in Japanese cars,
in Korean cars, and now it'll be Chinese. You've got
the probably Indian cars.

Speaker 7 (01:24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:24:45):
Yeah, you've got to be pretty rich to get American
import cars. You know what I mean that?

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
You Okay, let you go, Marcus. I just woke up
when you asked if anyone had dreamt of our host. Yes,
Roman has featured my dreams more than once. We hung
out and it was fun, nothing weird. I'm sorry to
say you haven't featured yet, but you even I love
dreams regards Nikki. I think what's interesting is that someone

(01:25:10):
rang up and said that if they've got the radio
on and they full of sleep to it, then those
the voices from the radio getting corporated into the dreams.
Has that happened for you, Marcus? Are you interested in
the America's Cup?

Speaker 8 (01:25:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
But I was surprised to hear that it's about to start,
is it? I'll watch it. It's pretty visual. I don't
know the personnelity's involved, but I'll watch it, Marcus. Getting
me through waiting at A and E. Thanks mate, The
guy was odd talk about the extrac cars exploding. A

(01:25:47):
lot of people just listen for key topics and then
they ring up about those things. By the way, I
hope it's good with you at A and E. I
hope you get what you need, Marcus. We lost hundreds
of dollars in countless hours after getting sucked into an
amway pyramid scheme. The worst ones were those pilot parties

(01:26:09):
where you did go and give seven hundred and fifty
dollars and the pilot got then you became a co pilot.
I remember people nearby me being involved with those, and
they always seemed really cruel to me, and that people
are happy to spend that cruelty to come away with
ten grand knowing full well that that ten grand they

(01:26:31):
would get would be from people losing that money. Marcus
America's cup starts even fifty five Thursday night. That's earlier
than I thought because normally gone around months beforehand. That's right,
thank you. So the Louis Vuitton and then of course
that goes around that gets the challenger. Do we know
where we watch it?

Speaker 18 (01:26:51):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
Could I ask that? Is it going to be on
TV or is it going to be on YouTube? Of
course YouTube is on the TV. But I'm old school.
You think of the TV as been with different channels.
I guess before the time, Marcus I bought the whole
set of Britannic encyclopedias, but ended up giving them away
because he knows every bloody thing. Tony Marcus get rich quick.

(01:27:19):
Back in the eighty chain letters. Also early nineties, a
Hamilton company developed never Go flat car batteries. We lost
plenty in that. I think I remember that entrepreneur that
invented those batteries talk to good talk? Was he crook?

(01:27:42):
What were they? I st remember a Hamilton inventor with
some form of batteries. Marcus has a good article on
top Gear called mythbusting the world of evs are electrical

(01:28:03):
our electric car susceptible to catching fire? One thing it
mentions is that internal combustion engines have one job, rapidly
catching fire, and they're much more likely to do it
when you don't want them to than Eve's. Are we
have this?

Speaker 7 (01:28:19):
I mean this.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
We've got a repecionate part of the audience that's very
patiently anti evs, almost held hostage to the notion. But
good on them. That's just the way they are anyway. Mindy,
there was that time that Tess was on the harbor bridge,

(01:28:42):
wasn't there. That's probably why Old Elon's so tight with Trump,
because he's desperate from major tariffs against the Chinese car manufacturers,
because they will just take over America with those chip cars. Marcus,
someone's when to get stone. God speaks to me through
the radio. I ask a question due to any station

(01:29:03):
and get to answer immediately, Marcus. All America's Cup races
will be aired on stuff and three. Now, thank you.
Oh that's what Tony meant to say when he got
it wrong, Marcus, I brought the whole set of Britannic
and cything a piece, but not giving them away because
the wife knows everything. Forgot the word the wife of

(01:29:27):
the first test with the excitement. Good eye you tony
team us In has a different foil than the rest
of you. Think of a wing. It points forward, not
backwards like normal wings. They had a plane like that
years ago where they could not fix the vibrations caused
by them pointing forward. So I never caught on. I

(01:29:50):
guess I would guess the same issue as in the water,
and somehow they have fixed the issue. Oh were damp
quicker in the water, they wouldn't it? Watch the space
if they went for planes to copy how they fix
the problem? Thank you? Sixteen to twelve get rich quick schemes.

(01:30:12):
Oh the America's Cup?

Speaker 10 (01:30:13):
How to watch?

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
And I can tell you that, Oh no, what that'll
be fun. Well, you've got to like the technology. What
about the Olympics, all those windsurface and all those things,
all that technology with the on the harderfild, it's all
come from the America's Cup. It took a long time

(01:30:33):
to get there, didn't it. They are the catamaran and
the giant boat, and all of a sudden with the cyclaus.
There'll be an America's Cup website and they'll be on
stuff and Facebook and on YouTube. There's a good website

(01:30:54):
called America's Cup dot com. Very comprehend of three days
until the Louis Vuitton preliminary regetta twenty second to the
twenty fifth of August. Excuse my agnrance, but we hold it,

(01:31:22):
don't We won it?

Speaker 10 (01:31:23):
We won it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
When do we win it? In Auckland? Three years ago?
Four years ago? I think it wasn't Auckland?

Speaker 7 (01:31:29):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
Where was it? Well? Last I think it was in Auckland?

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
Was it?

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:31:40):
When was it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Dans It's like February and two thousand?

Speaker 9 (01:31:43):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
We pre COVID twenty twenty one? And what time of
the year? So rather than look that's just before we
do lockdown, wasn't it?

Speaker 8 (01:31:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
That was twenty twenty March twenty twenty one, America's Cup.
Say who we went against in the final, up against
Italy and out rings a belt, Luna Rossa and what
was escorted? We've clean sweep them seven to three. Oh,

(01:32:20):
there you go. Three years ago seven to three, which
just goes to show we don't remember them what we
used to.
