Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings and good even welcome on him as Marcus hittl
twelve o'clock. I hope it's good where you are.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
I hope.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
If it's not good, I hope against bits and by
the time I go home at midnight tonight, just get
rid of that cough. Has anyone got their Smeg knives?
Because I'll tell you what, in two months time, people
were bringing up here saying, oh, I can't get any
of the run out. Who's the first person to get one? Ah?
And thought of that?

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Had you?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Because someone must have gone in there already, have they?
Like the cheapest creepers. That little vegetable knife is just
what I need. I'm going to spend a thousand dollars
on groceries and get that. Anyone done that yet, let
me know. I don't think it will have happened just yet,
but let me know when you get your first Smeg knife. Boy,
oh boy, I am slightly fascinated by supermarkets. But I'll
tell you what you could not There could not be

(00:54):
more of a chasm between the uselessness of what they're
giving away at Woolworth's and that beautiful steel stuff at
New World. Goodness, those knives cheapest creepers. And they say
you shouldn't give a knife it brings bad luck. But
oh well, I guess New World's not giving them. You
earn them for abandoning. You're purchasing power and freedom of choice.

(01:15):
But go on, you, if you've got those knives, let
me know. I'm excited about that. I'm also excited about
the golf course Lydia cos playing app for the New
Zealand Open. Where is that? Hadn't seen that golf course before?
In the middle of nowhere. I thought, anyway, we'll speak
to someone I know that playing that that's played that tonight.
I'm team Team Lydia all day long.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
What was it called? I read that? I thought cheapest?
Scripts've neverhod of that golf course. Why Knui? Why Nui
Golf Club and function center near Silverdale? Well, of course,
we played Silverdale very much in the under twelve's rugby.
We'd offer me up at Silverdale, So there we go.
That's something new to meet. Anyway. I enjoy when there
is a popular tournament and a well known golf course.

(01:58):
I like to know where that is, And I'm wondering, Oh,
that's where they played such and such nice looking place.
Actually a lot of water courses, lot of swans. I
hope no one's feeding them a lot of those true
bridge light shades. In fact, too many of those have
become of a visual cliche, haven't though? Those plywood orbs
nicely built looking cause actually a lot of plantings anyway.

(02:20):
So there's a keish in the clubhouse. You can buy
nine dollars fifty or a bacon tomato keiche for the
same price. Do you tell you what old golf course
food never looks good? Does? It's always sort of covered
and cling film like unloved with no staff anyway, I
suppose there's no not much money and running. In fact,
it looks like a retirement home looking at the club anyway.

(02:41):
So I have a question for you tonight, and it's
nothing to do with golf, and it's nothing to do
with Smeg knives. My question for you is a political question,
and it's very specific because what I know in broadcasting
I've been doing it for a while is the one
thing you've got to want. There's two things you've got
to watch out for. One is Mission creep and the

(03:04):
other has been trojaned horsed because people will never ring
specifically on the top of they ring about something else.
They're going to be quite specific with what I want
to ask to know. There has been a huge amount
of talk today, a huge amount of talk about Paul Henry,
and I don't know how well politicians with two first
names get on. I'm trying to think of a comparison

(03:27):
with Paul Henry. He's going to go for politics and
he will get in. He'll be third or second or
some he'll be in government. And he's someone that everyone
has an opinion on. They either love him or he's
not their cup of tea. And that's fine because in
media you've got have a response. If everyone kind of luck,

(03:47):
you're not going to do very well. You end up
doing real estate. That's what happens. But anyway, he's a polarizer,
Peter polarizer. That's people love him or hate him, and
he's going for acting good on them. They've got a
guy that's got profile and he's probably making the Michael
Laws going to New Zealand first seem less of a

(04:08):
I wouldn't say water Coller movement, but less of a
headline Michael Laws for New Zealand First is not such
a big deal as Paul Henry to act. And I'm
seeing this the reaction with the headline font in New
Zealand hera. They're excited about it. So it's a big
news story. My question for you tonight, and I'll take
note of these responses. I think it will be quite telling.

(04:29):
And I don't care what people do. I love the
fact we have a democracy and people can vote with
whoever they like. They can vote for the least appropriate person,
or they can vote for someone that's going to be
absolutely fantastic, and the whole gamut in between. I think
we've got candidates are getting more and more candidates that
represent that full gamut. I guess you'd call it from

(04:49):
one end to the other. My question is it's quite
a specific question. I'm just trying to work out how
to phrase it for the best way and ring up
as soon as you've formed your opinion. If you have
decided today you will be voting for Paul Henry. You think, oh,
he's a bit of me. I'm excited about this. Will
you change? Will you be changing the party you vote for?

(05:12):
And I guess. The question I'm really asking is I've
been through the Facebook columns and there's been comments, and
there's been thousands of those. Is he just preaching to
the converted? Or will he bring voters from other parties?

Speaker 7 (05:25):
So?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Will you vote for him? First part of the question?
And if so, are you changing your party to vote
for him? I don't care if you remember member a
political party or not. I'll just be curious, though, Yes,
Marcus die Hard Top can't wait to vote for Paul Henry.
They're the calls I want. I want to hear what
people are doing. Are they doing things? Are they Will
this change anything? I mean, plenty of headlines, plenty of comments,

(05:48):
plenty of interviews, plenty of text me now, plenty of
Facebook comments. But has anything changed with this announcement? Or
is it just what? And that's not the question I'm asking.
I want to know if you're changing the party you
vote for to vote for Paul Henry. That's the question.
So more the marrya answer, please, I'd rather you called,

(06:08):
although you could text if you're not good on the phone.
Will you change who you vote? I'll get a pen.
I write this damn stuff down heap ruing the stuff
down with a pen for a long long because I'm
really curious. I think, and I think with this case,
then I think we might get some information that is useful. No,
I've got no opinion on this. I don't care who
people vote for it we live it a democracy. So yes,

(06:31):
who will you? Whoo? Who listened to me? Will you
change the party you're voting for to vote for him
and try and be honest? I don't know if you
can and think you're just political operators? Oh yeah, no, jeepers, creepers,
my mic mistake by mistake, So yes, yes, sorry, tend
the mic off?

Speaker 8 (06:51):
There?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Will it change who you vote for? In other words,
if you vote for him, who would you know I'm
normally a labor votere or you normally might be a
green voter? Be going to vote for him because he
makes so much sense, or what people like to say
about him, he's a straight shooter. It's the question I've
asked you. Oh, I wonder how that mike button went off?
Can't think what I would have dumped on that. Bennett's Marcus,
good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
No, it won't change my vote. I like Paul on,
hang on.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Hang on, hang on, hang on, we've mister question. Will
you be voting for him?

Speaker 6 (07:24):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I okay, okay, okay, because what I want to know
is the people that will be voting for him, who
they would have been voting for if they weren't voting
for him.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
Okay, yeah, I won't. I simply won't be voting.

Speaker 10 (07:36):
If he was the party leader. Absolutely, absolutely, I'll change
my vote straight away, John, I'm sorry, Marcus, John. Yeah, no,
i'd look if he was a party leader, absolutely I'll
change my vote. But because he's not the party leader
and I don't like Seymour, I won't be changing my vote.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Wow. So wow, I feel Trojan Horse that you've gotten
a bit of a put a knife. And why don't
you like Seymour? Smamy?

Speaker 10 (08:01):
I think you, to be honest, I think he's up
up himself.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Up himself.

Speaker 10 (08:06):
And yeah that's why.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
The way, the way, the way he walks, that's cocky,
spring in a step.

Speaker 10 (08:12):
No no no, no no, no, like he's he's a
he's a bit foo fast.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay, you know, I thought I made that question straightforward.
So you think, yes, I'll vote for him? Who are
you going to vote for? Before you're going to vote
for him? Has he swayed anything? Is this a seismic shift?

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Evon Marcus first answers, yes, I wouldn't vote for Paul.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Henry, so yes you would, or yes you will?

Speaker 11 (08:42):
No because like that name, just this, he's not the leader.

Speaker 12 (08:49):
It's Seymour and.

Speaker 13 (08:50):
I don't like.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Okay, this is interesting. So people would vote for if
Seymour wasn't there. So Seymour's the sea anchor. He's holding
them back.

Speaker 14 (09:00):
Well, why why don't they just you know, put another's
leader and.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
That you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Why well write that down? Why don't they put them
in as Okay, so it's ten minutes ago, we've got
no one's going to vote from, so it's made no difference.
Jeepers goodness, So no one's going to vote from. But
who were you going to vote for? So no one's changed.
Someone says X, got my vote now Paul Henry's awesome

(09:26):
good humor and says it how it is, that's what
Pey likes, says it how it's, says how it is. Yes,
I will change my vote. They'll get both my votes.
Well we've only got one vote. Listen, people, We've only
got one vote. I know that sounds controversial, but we've
only got one vote. We've got a second vote, which
is just window dressing. That's just dick cheer kind of territory.

(09:48):
But yes, I go first caller. If Henry was leader ACT,
I could be swayed. So if anyone decided in the
remaining seven hours since this was announced, they're going to
vote for ACT, and who would they voted for previously?
Because what I'm seeing, and I'm surprised by it, is
that it's changed nothing. Jeeves, Yeah, have you changed your

(10:09):
vote to Paul Henry now he's running? And who have
you swung from? James? It's Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (10:16):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Thank you good.

Speaker 15 (10:20):
I'm I've just got on the track and I'm listening
to you.

Speaker 16 (10:22):
Oh.

Speaker 15 (10:23):
Henry is a real good blugger and he probably hid
my vote, but he might be a bit controversial, mate,
especially with the training relations with India, you know, given
his comments a few years there.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
We lost his job because then I think I think
Paul Key John Key had to apologize.

Speaker 15 (10:42):
Yeah, I don't know if he's fit for politics, mate,
Like he's it's good and you want someone out spoken,
but I don't think you can put him in a box,
you know.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
So you're another one who's not going to vote for him,
So no one's going to vote from.

Speaker 15 (10:58):
I'm going to rather arm mate.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I probably would, ye, but but but you'd you'd be
you'd be an neck toucher anyway, you'd be, you'd be
impartial to the policies.

Speaker 15 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, I'm all about that sort of.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
So you're, yeah, exactly, straight shooter put up in a box.
Actors act all day long. You're act, aren't you?

Speaker 17 (11:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (11:21):
Yeah, okay, you first, you know, I'm pretty pretty on
that side of the spectrum.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, well, it makes it sound like it's you make
it sound like it's the spectrum. Okay, so you know,
you know you'd already vote for act even though he's
going to be there.

Speaker 9 (11:39):
Yes, yeah, damn right.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, what sort of what sort of truck you jumped
in there, James?

Speaker 18 (11:44):
A double cab and the double CABU burning diesel?

Speaker 10 (11:49):
H you know it's pretty hard.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
You bet you better go. You want to go down.
You've got a company card because you're goun to go
down and pop Summon tonight because it's going to be pricey. Yeah,
the company past for of course they do typical voting
street and he pays for everything cheapest creepers. Good on you. Now,

(12:12):
someone said they're not going to Someone said they're not
going to work out if they're going to vote for
act for Paul Henry until they work out where he's
going to be on the list. Well, I'm going it
can only go David Seymour, then Van van der veld
and she's gone, and Nicole McKee's deputy, so it's got
to be it'd be number three. It's a dead suit,

(12:32):
isn't it. That'd be my take. So you know where
he's going to be. He's not gonna be any lower
than that. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone. He's not silly
van Velden, not van Derveldt, not. That was the So
there we go. That's the question to you. Has anyone
changed their vote today because of Paul Henry? Now I've
come in this, I've come in this impartial and full

(12:55):
of the joy of democracy. I'm just curious to know,
because if no one's going to change their vote for him,
then I wonder how not much of a democratics a
plexus punk punch this is. I don't know I just
don't know. Could be the bit of minister. Have a
better Minister of broadcasting? Paul Henry or Michael Laws. Well,

(13:20):
we've both got experience. They've certainly both done radio. Whether
I think we need to talk about Minister of broadcasting,
it tends to mainly refer to TV or podcasts. I
suppose these days I'll get to some of the text.
But you're called will you vote from from the announcement today?
Get in touch? Racist old prick will fit and write
with ACT scum. Yes, I will vote for ACT. Paul

(13:44):
is exactly what this country needs. I've always voted for Labor,
but now vote for the ACT party. Do we believe that?
Do we believe that? Is he cannibalizing Labour's vote? Goodness? Wow, anyway,
I'm hearing you get in touch. Oh wait ten at
eighty ten eighty nineteen nine text, looking forward to what
you got to say the whole vote, vote vote. But yeah,

(14:05):
if you're a COMMUNI, if you're doing something different because
of this announcement, that's good. Look, everyone's got an opinion
on Paul Henry had opinions about him all through the
every radio station doing text to thorns and whatever. But
will anyone change? Will this change how people vote? Are
they votes in this for act? And where are those
votes coming from? Are they coming from National? Are they

(14:28):
coming from New Zealand First? Or they're coming from Top
Spinning Top. I don't like the name of Top Top. Anyway,
they've had a good day, someone say, has been a
funny man in a snappy dress. It doesn't make a politician.

(14:48):
All that glitters is not gold. He comes across as
a racist bigot at times. Regards Kristen. I don't mind
David Seymour. At least he gets some things changed. I
love Paul Henry. I cried when he left his show.
Wow goodness, cheapers, get in touch. Oh eight hundred eight
nineteen nine to the text, cried, it's pretty amazing. Be

(15:14):
in touch. If you want to talk. Benet's Marcus good.

Speaker 19 (15:17):
Evening, Marcus, How are you good?

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Ben? Really good?

Speaker 20 (15:20):
I was, I was.

Speaker 10 (15:22):
I was going to vote for National, but I just
thought that joke he made about the woman was quite funny.
I didn't even know about it until today, and then
I just thought, oh.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Wow, so there's people only just learning about that. That's
having a flow on effect.

Speaker 10 (15:35):
See it was classic. I sat and laughed at that
for a while.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
So I wonder why you hadn't picked that up like
ten years ago out of the country. Yeah, probably a
So you'll switch from national to act for Paul Henry.

Speaker 21 (15:50):
Yeah, just because it was funny, brilliant.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Good on you. Well, I mean you're honest. Oh eighteen
hundred eighty nineteen nine to the text Marcus till twelve.
Godness me, get in touch. You want to be a
part of it, head of the end. Hold your horse
and I'll tell you when there's more life trying to
get through and you can't, I do apologize. So Ben,

(16:16):
A lot of Ben'sday Free Bennie kind of a show tonight.
Thirty percent of people have been called Ben. I suppose
the bitter part would be who did you cry when
they left breakfast? Or who caused you to cry when
they left breakfast? Will that be Paul Henry or Jenny May?
I wonder ticks those through eight hundred and eighty make

(16:37):
it's Marcus good evening?

Speaker 22 (16:39):
Yeah, here you doing?

Speaker 3 (16:40):
You got mac.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I've been a labor voter. I'm sixty four. I voted
labor a my life.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Since nineteen sixty four. Or are you sixty four.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I'm sixty four. I've born sixty two. Copy that formal
life father.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So you're a labor voter and you will vote. You've
today decided to vote for Paul Henry.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Basically, it because, okay, because I want them to do
something about the immigration.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Sure, but this was this was the hang on, hang
on because I was talking specifically about Paul Henry. So
this is not about the Paul Henry announcement. This is
what you were going to do. This is not a
decision you've made today.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
No, I heard about Paul Henry. I've seen a few
things about him, but I think he's a straight shooter.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Okay, It's all I say about people that made that
decision today and think, Okay, he's going to be the difference.
So I just wanted to I just want to know
how much of a quake this is. Because there's been
a lot of high profile people have gone into politics,
whether it be Brendan Horn or Chris Laidlaw or I
mean all sorts of people with high profiles and other
realms Graham Thorne, and I think most of them have

(17:49):
been frustrated and bored and ineffective. And I don't know
whether it was too difficult for them, or they thought
it was beneath them, or we're not team players and
made it all about themselves when you're certainly going to
be there. There's no doubt that he's getting in. I've
written him. There was that guys named then of the
old Mecatech Jason. It's Marcus.

Speaker 21 (18:11):
Good evening, Hey Marcus.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
How are you, Jason? How you going all right?

Speaker 11 (18:15):
Yeah? Good?

Speaker 9 (18:15):
Thank you?

Speaker 19 (18:16):
Mad?

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Good question you've asked everyone. Is someone going to change
their vote from another party and vote for Paul Henry?

Speaker 23 (18:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
I am actually great, Thank you for your honesty and ringing.
So before today, before today, who would have had your
party vote?

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Well, my party vote's always been on the red side
because I've got brought up by union sort of grandfather
and all that sort of stuff in the fire brigade,
but Labor would have been my vote. But Paul Henry's
pretty straight straight up. I do see can be a
little bit oh G and stuff, and and he has
been called a racist before, but I think really he's

(18:53):
sort of human, you know what I mean? And he's
straight up. So I'm going to chuck a vote to
him and change my whole po vote.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Okay, and that's happen today. You thought, okay, this is
that Paul Henry. Yeah, he's You've watched him on the
TV on the Breakfast Show, and you thought, well, I
kind of know what he's about and he supports what
I am into.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yes, well not not exactly everything, but I mean you
can do everything.

Speaker 9 (19:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
No, I appreciate your honesty, Jason, Thank you. Twenty six
away from nine, one line free, looking forward to what
you want to say. I think Darren sums up a
lot of what people are probably thinking. I've always voted National,
but now at gets my vote. Love him on the
Breakfast Show. I was upset when he left. He wonder
gets my vote. If it all turns to custard from

(19:41):

vote based on being a straight shooter, Darren. Cause it
like it is. That's what people be saying. Powerback's Queen
Street West Lavin. Thanks, Peter full Living, appreciate it, Peter. Yeah, Hello, Bob,

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Glen hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. So
this election, there's no way you're voting for New Zealand
first because you weren't going to vote him since the
so called Barley Instone? Is that right?

Speaker 7 (23:40):
I will I will be voting for Winston because did
you say he's going to be seen?

Speaker 9 (23:47):
Marcus?

Speaker 7 (23:49):
Winston and Luxton got Lackson hit the ground running, mate,
They hit the ground running, and they went out and
got us all this business and they're working hard as
what I'll vote from.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Okay. The woman's name was Abbie Hartley fell critically ill
with boweler shoes.

Speaker 9 (24:06):
There was so said name. So just to.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Just to just to sum up, who are you going
to vote for? You said the first Okay, So yeah, okay,
so that's just the one guy that's going Briget Switter Okay,
well people have really specific memories. Eh. Anyway, get in
touch if you want to, Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty, Marcus, you don't want MP's with baggage. Too

(24:34):
much time that's gonna waste on their past or present
stuff ups. As for sharpshooters, that's all well and good,
but that depends on what they are sharpshooting about. Son.
Where are the young people? By the way, these are
all retired people or retirement age laws, And we don't
want to sound agent well I probably am setting ages. Yes, Marcus,

(24:55):
let's not forget Michael Laws coming in for enzed first
maybe national trembling in their boots. Well, the challenges to
bring young people in. But young people and then you've
got to actually develop their profile through hard work. Get
in touch of you on a talk here till twelve
seventeen to nine boom, So no one is actually well,

(25:17):
one guy's changed. Who is going to vote for? That's
the question I'm asking for you. Is this a what
am I trying to think? What am I really trying
to crystallize and say?

Speaker 8 (25:26):
Here?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Does our political system respond and reverberate to single people
announcements like Taine Randall or Michael Laws or Paul Henry.
Do they sway the spectrum and do they cause results
to change? I don't know if they do. Maybe they
do because people love personalities. I mean everyone's talking about

(25:47):
It's much more easy to focus on than policy. You
get into the weeds with text, Gee, what's that about?
But suddenly you're talking about Oh, poor Henry is on
TV on breakfast. See the woman had a mustache when
everyone remembers that. So yes, it was also on the
board of TVNS, but not for long. Who resigned today? Oh,

(26:15):
I'm so glad Marcus, my patter of twenty five years,
got off the Maldi roll lately. So we're both voting
for New Zealand first a selection. They could have doned
the Maori roll as well, that we might need a
democracy refresher getting touched Marcus till twelve fifteen to nine,
good eving Allison ats Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (26:32):
I'll just say who I won't vote for there. I
did vote for Winster Peter's last time, but I won't
be doing it this time because of the way he
got rid of Paul Goth and I won't be changing
my mind on that. But I do quite like this,
Paul Henry. I must say that, yeap, you'll go this,
you'll go his way, which I could do, yes, but
I've gone on what you Yeah. And also I wouldn't
be voting for the National Party either because they played

(26:53):
around with the Kiwi Save and they have the contribution
there it everyone gets to that from five forty four
back to two hundred and sixty, So I wouldn't be
voting for them either. Yes, I will consider that, Paul Henry.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yes, Paul Henry, because Winston it uh sex Phil GoF
which seemed a bit cheerless you reckon? Is that the answer?

Speaker 14 (27:11):
Yes, very much so yes, what Phil Golf said, what
actually came out and next he stood up and what
he said. Everyone agreed what he said, but nobody had
the gumption to these only one that would say it.
So I agree with.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
He's still around on the podcasts sold boring Phill. He's
quite likable in his old age. There's something quite. There's
something quite how would you say, grandfatherly and gentle about him,
never nasty, but can say some kind of interesting things.
So it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 23 (27:41):
Oh I'm Marcus summer. But quirky tonight, but I have
to say I think it's quite fickle.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
So did you hear what my question was?

Speaker 16 (27:53):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
So are you going to vote for Paul Henry?

Speaker 23 (27:57):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Not, I was asking if. I was asking people if
this is going to change the way they're going to vote.
But I don't think it is. With you with it?

Speaker 23 (28:09):
Well, I'm sort of concentrating on getting rid of the
partier of our electorate in Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Sorry, step, Yeah, I'm trying to because people people meet
meander Well, maybe I'm the ender, Peter, it's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (28:25):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. Yes, I'm ninety years of
age now and I'm always voted labor. But this year
I've been thinking I need a change. And soon as
I heard Paul Henry, now Paul Henry and he's leader

(28:52):
right that, I thought I'll vote for them this four
acts this year. I mean, there's all these other crowds
that it's just going along Willy Nelly.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
So see see Seymour on his own was enough, But
Paul Henry's gonna sway it your way. Ah, yes, definitely,
you'll be excited for today.

Speaker 16 (29:19):
Then, Oh that's made my day. I thought, here we
go we've got a guy here that.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
You give him a go, straight shooter, Peter, thank you.
That's three or two. I think we're on too now, brilliant,
hold your horse. I'll get here soon. As Peter said,
we've got a guy here now, eight away from nine. Hello, Helen,
it's Marcus and welcome.

Speaker 11 (29:39):
Thank you, Hello Marcus. Right, with regard to your question,
I'm going to vote Labor and I will Paul Henry.
He's just a shock jock and everybody says he's a
straight shooter. Well maybe he is from his point of view.
I just signed him abhorrent.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Okay, so you're not changing your vote because of.

Speaker 8 (30:02):
It, No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Okay. Very good for a good for a good it's amazing. Hey,
it's like saying, don't think of an elephant. Steve, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
Well, hello Marcus.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
How are you Steve? Very good?

Speaker 22 (30:16):
Yeah, I hope you had a good weekend and all
families well Marcus. On regards to your question, no, I
agree with the last lady. I'm Labor and Henry.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
If anyone votes.

Speaker 22 (30:31):
For that act party with him now and they got
rocks in the head, I'm telling you, yeah, No, Labor labor.
Labor's Marcus.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Okay, no I wants the straight shooter. Hey, someone said, Marcus,
it seems Paul Henry is taking the labor voters one. Marcus.
I'm make thirties young. I've always got of lue. But
Paul Henry definitely has me thinking about switching. I'm thirty
three and work in law enforcement. Always been a national voter.
Was leaning towards ACT. The selection Paul now solidifies my vote.

(31:05):
I'm loving words people saying solidify Marcus. I can guarantee
that Winston's Costumeist party many thousands of votes due to
his decision to ban greyhound racing in New Zealand. It
is costing thousands of jobs. Well definitely in an unnecessary
death of some dogs. Racing people are loyal to all
Paul Henry, Yes, Tayne Randall, Michael Laws.

Speaker 12 (31:25):
No.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
All ACT needs now is Shane Jones. Him and Paul
Henry are the sort of people we need in power.
None of this woke PC crap.

Speaker 21 (31:35):
Gosh.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
People still saying that wow, good on you anyway, get
in touch if you want to talk. Eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine to christ Church. It's Davy. It's Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 20 (31:51):
Hey, good Marcus. Paul Henry's got my vote.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Where were you though? Davy?

Speaker 20 (31:57):
Still of the names, I was national and we.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Are hard national or wavery national.

Speaker 20 (32:06):
I was split national act last election?

Speaker 3 (32:10):
And how does how to split for it? You said,
did your party with national or your party with.

Speaker 20 (32:16):
Act party National and act candidate? This time both are
going to act.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah, and that's because Paul Henry's the right guy. Yeah,
you'll be cocker hoop.

Speaker 20 (32:38):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking forward to.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh you muster because this has made your day because
you think, well, what about that? What about that? Like split?
What do I do? Henry's long? You think tick tick?
I'm in all in.

Speaker 20 (32:49):
Oh, he's just made it easy for me. It's going
to be a whole Kiwi version of Trump.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Oh you're cruising, you're cruising to November now which part
of the country?

Speaker 20 (32:58):
And Davy Auckland Auckland. Yeah, so every day.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
You see a good track. I think Trump's all back
into the war to out of interest. You be happy
with that. Oh, you can't say great New Zealand's aren't
it a Trump? And I kind of take it out
of that track and you say, is an idiot. That's
a s which I wasn't expecting to answer these questions bugs.

(33:30):
I think some people think of these people like laws
and Henry and their president past roles. Things change, time
rolls on. It's not a personality. Clasey want solutions to
wealth of existing problems. Oh, it's brand recognition. They always
say I need to be a brand win the Auckland
mayalty and look at that. They're all kind of brands,
aren't they. I think Parliament's a bit different. I think
a lot of these names they get bored. They get

(33:52):
there and they get look at where's Paul Horn. The
ones that go down there with profile don't last. It's
hard work, probably sitting in select committee an endous reading
which one's worked was Graham Thorne? Any good? Please sort
them out? Greetings and re welcome For those who already
tuned in here till twelve, how are you people? What's

(34:13):
something in listen land who've got breaking news? There's not
what that breaking news is. So you want to get
in touch eight hundred here's the question for you, right,
This is the question I've asked at the beginning of
the show because today today Paul Henry announced that he'll
be running for ACT, and I presume he'd be high
up the tree. He'd be number three, i'd think on

(34:33):
the I don't know whose number three currently is. Probably
in the commic case, she's got up to number two.
But anyway, so that's a situation. Paul Henry is going
to be running for ACT. He won't be going for
an electorate seat, but he'll be going on the list,
and to be hype list, you'll get in. So the
question I asked, I am asking it's been for every interesting.

(34:56):
Ha's this announcement today caused you to change who you
think you will vote for and repen to say, gosh, wow, wow, goodness,
we've got a guy here. Now that's what some guy said.
We've got a guy here now. Yes, Marcus, I was
always going to vote for top, but this guy is
the guy we need. So yeah. So what I'm curious

(35:17):
about these big announcements. Do they make any difference? Or actually,
as I suspect, do people to see the end of
the day vote for who they think is going to
mean that they personally will be better off, particularly the
cost living crisis. So your response is that all the
lines are free. Oh eight hundred but a good response
for this is a topic. A lot of people got
a lot to say, but none of it makes much

(35:38):
difference because most people aren't changing their vote to vote
for him. I guess what it will do. It means
probably people if you've got to name their people can
imagine that on the voting day and those that perhaps
are reluctant to vote with ah, you actually go give
him a secret tick. Someone says via text, I'll read someone.
I wait for your calls. I have the feeling some

(35:59):
parties are bringing in has beans to get attention. These
people that have been mentioned are like this all like
to be the set of attention. I think it's going
to turn free bad for the parties. Someone says, must
be a slow news day to talk about Paul Henry.
He's a mummies boy. Lisa says, surely. The next question
has to be if is this the return of celebrity
politics when we are voting for people, not policy. Have

(36:22):
we ever had that haven't decided who to vote for?
But definitely not act now Henry's obnoxious. Marcus great show.
Paul Henry definitely gets me up and interested. Was national
but just got bored of them parents were labor. I've
watched it closely, and now with Paul going there, I'm
heading that way for sure. Cheers mate, Bob Palmerston North.
I like how who calls them Paul like he's a mate. Wow,

(36:45):
seems the sell out journalists are keeping their snout in
the trough fire politics. I might be wrong, but I'm
pretty sure Michael Lawes is not a journalist, and I'm
not even entirely sure that Paul Henry is, although he
has done reporting, but that was almost sort of a

(37:05):
different form of reporting. I think he'd be more known
as a broadcaster rather than a journalist. A journalist is
quite a specific thing, and I've never read or heard
that he is a journalist. Ready and Ready Pacific with
Arch tam Beckis you might remember him ten past nine, Glenn,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 9 (37:24):
Welcome even Marcus. I've seen a different side to Paul Henry.

Speaker 22 (37:30):
Now, oh good, Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 14 (37:33):
Remember when he used to be the host of the
Chase New Zealand and he put a smile.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
On the hay of these fays you're going to vote
for on the back of that.

Speaker 22 (37:43):
Well, God to have to, because the last person who
do that was Bradley.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Wal Who what have you voted for? Glenn?

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Who's for.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Marcus?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Padam?

Speaker 9 (37:55):
What one?

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Garay?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Okay, good on you. John's Marcus? Welcome?

Speaker 24 (38:00):
Hello Marcus, Paul Henry. I think he'll blow the ACT apart.
We've got two egos that need a lot of stroking
and I think they will. Yeah, it's bad for the
ACT Party. I was thinking of voting for them, but

(38:23):
I'm going back to good, something solid we can always trust,
and that's the National Party. No egos there. They just
get on with the job.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
So it's caused. You just change your vote from ACT
back to the Talk back to National.

Speaker 9 (38:37):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Oh you feel comfortable there too, Rural Canterbury.

Speaker 24 (38:42):
Yeah, I wish I wish we had first passed the post.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Oh those were the days, weren't they. Goodness me one tie,
one tick and there you go.

Speaker 24 (38:52):
If we had that, now National would sailing.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
One tech and that's it. And then you have a
couple of turns and the next party comes along. They
have a couple of turns. None of these third parties anyway.
Have a good night, simpler times, John, you're giving them away,
thank you. Someone said ends in first we'll leave into
the last minute announced Jason Marmoa as a candidate. They
could well do that. I wonder if they got the

(39:17):
timing right. Lawsy went at it Earli do you Reckon
could have waited a couple of weeks because Tane randal
didn't cause much ripples and then Lawsy well flip and
then you got who'll be next? It seems as though
it's kind of going up and up and up and
and the quakes they're causing. Someone said a laughing emotion

(39:40):
at National Nowego's w tf, ah, get in touch. You
want to add to this, But the high profile candidates
that have made their name and another sphere they turned
to get into politics and don't do so well. That'd
be my take on that. Oh wait, one hundred eighty
eight text. I'm just looking at the list of people

(40:03):
that have gone to politics, and you see that who have
done well. You see Corkrey was another one, Blesser whom
I know a little bit. And she arrived well, she
was on doing talkback. She was doing this free show
before she went to politics, all about privatizer, about finding
the privatization of the Port of Auckland, And I don't know,

(40:23):
I mean, of course, she got there, and she was
in the Alliance Party, so they weren't one of the
big parties, but it kind of felt like she was
restrained there. I think most of us remember her opening
speech in Parliament, but then we didn't hear much of
her after that. It seemed as though it kind of
wasn't her jam. I would imagine probably the most successful

(40:46):
person who was high profile before they've gone in department,
love him, my hatter, it would be Willie Jackson. He
was a radio broadcaster and went in there, and he's
someone that's stayed a long time and risen right up
into the Cabinet of Labor. So there's that for context too.
So if you want to comment on this, Marcus a
Winni voter, but might change to act for one election

(41:07):
just despite my left vote. Of friends who are a
bit judgmental, I'll tell them it's because I love Paul
Henry smiley face, smiley faced, smiley face. Brendan Horran, the
weather man, didn't do too well in politics. He said
it was complicated, wasn't it. And Maggie Barry, of course,
well Maggie Barry did do well. I mean she was

(41:27):
a Minister of conservation and she did a number of
terms in government. Yeah, and funny enough, I think Paul
Henry took over from her in her broadcasting slot on
Radio Live. I'm pretty sure that it went Nancy his marks.
I can think of no value that Paul Henry could
add to the political scene, and none what toe to
benefit New Zealand. And someone said lockwood Smith did okay

(41:48):
in politics. Yes, that's right, although I think probably well
lockwood Smith was, of course for very smart and I
think probably his broadcasting career as at Chris Master was
a bit of a that was a bit of a
galliant sideways. I think probably always he was heading in
that way. Marcus, I hope Paul get as a list candidate.
At question time, it will be hilarious. He'll probably get

(42:10):
through out of the house off enough that in the
end he'll say stuff this and leave cart Waite. Lindy,
I think you certainly be in there. There's no doubt
he'll get in because remember act got the backstop of EPSOM,
so you don't need two percent to get three in
on the list. I think two or three percent get
in touch. If you want to talk. Seventeen past nine,
he til twelve the suggestions and people are hoping that

(42:32):
Valerie Adams goes into politics, So there you go. Well,
of course athletes have gone. Of course John Walker was
very successful and local body wasn't he very successful? Ah?
Probably still there is he triciance Marcus.

Speaker 12 (42:44):
Good evening, Yes, good evening, Marcus. I'm just ringing up
to reply to your question about Henry RT. I'm all
in for Paul Henry.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Yep pee Yeah, A big day for you, big.

Speaker 12 (43:01):
Day, yep peeing voter. And I've wondered what I was
going to do for this election. I think Paul Henry.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
High who were you going to vote for?

Speaker 12 (43:22):
Well, I wasn't really decided about it. I wasn't decided.
They're very whole. Hum. I think Paul Henry is a
breath of fresh air. I know he's very bold and
a lot of people don't like that, they can't take it.

(43:43):
But he's highly intelligent. He was overseas ringing in with
reports from war torn countries on the radio a long
time ago, and forgetting about his wealth and all the
rest of it. I think it's what we need. We
need somebody with oomph, and I think he's got and

(44:06):
I think it will make a big difference to the
act party, even though nobody may be ringing in tonight.
I think it will definitely.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
A lot of people are ringing in tonight, but no
one's saying they're going to switch party votes because of him,
apart from you, and I suspect you're probably an next
voter anyway. Yes, well, which is fine. At least you're honest.

Speaker 12 (44:34):
Things change, don't they.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Do you think? Do you think what you like about
Paul Henry is the fact that other people don't like him?
Is that seems to be a big part of his appeal,
that a lot of people don't like him, which makes
you feel good liking him because it shows other people.

Speaker 22 (44:49):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Is that what a bit of what it's about.

Speaker 12 (44:52):
No, not at all.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Okay, that's good, No, not at all. But everyone mentions
that people say they're going to vote for them just
because it winds people up there people that don't like him.

Speaker 13 (45:03):
No, no, no, not at all.

Speaker 17 (45:05):
No.

Speaker 12 (45:05):
I think he's trying to he's honest. He seems to
be honest, and he's trying to inspire people, and I
think New Zealand lacks in that direction. He's made a
success of his life, so a lot of people weren't
like him because of that. I don't think he's made

(45:29):
a success, but he's worked hard. I don't know anything
about all the ins and outs, but he's made a success.
And a lot of people are jealous of people who
are successful, however they get there. But he's trying to
inspire the country to have aspiration. Aspiration I believe.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
I think he moved to Palm Springs, didn't he.

Speaker 12 (45:56):
Yes, well, I believe he's got a home there, and
good on them. I'd be there too if I had
the dollars. But yeah, I just think we need more
people that are trying to lift the country up out
of the doldrums. I just think New Zealand has gone

(46:17):
backwards quite quite a lot in more recent years through
all sorts of things.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Do you think that do you think that he'll do?
You think that he will overthrow David Seymour and will
that be a bad thing?

Speaker 12 (46:35):
I don't think that this his intention.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
He's going to be No. One, second fiddle, is he No?

Speaker 12 (46:43):
It's an interesting question. A lot of people don't really
go for David Seymour. I mean, I have that voted for.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
It in the past, swinging, not that swinging.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
But I'm not.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
To be a swing voter that's fixed on ACT. But anyway, yeah,
but that's fine. Have you have you ever not voted
for ACT?

Speaker 25 (47:16):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (47:17):
Yes, I've voted for National. I voted for what other
parties are that? Yes, I've voted for New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
First.

Speaker 12 (47:32):
I haven't voted for the Greens or the Maori Party.
Social Credit No, no, I never voted for Social Credit.
I don't know why, but I didn't. But I have
sort of moved around.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
What about Colin Craig the Conservatives.

Speaker 12 (47:49):
I might have done that.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
He was a straight shooter long time ago.

Speaker 12 (47:53):
Yes, I may have voted for him. Like I've always
been interested in politics, but I just think we just
need somebody fresh.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
What's wrong with Seymour Well, I don't know.

Speaker 12 (48:12):
It's just his manner, sort of a bit cocky. He
might be a very nice person. I don't know, but
it's just it's just his manner. But I don't think
Paul Henry at this stage is going into it to

(48:33):
overthrow or anything. I think he's really got the country.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
You know, you never know these people. You know, someone
might say, oh, you know, you're doing great dear Paul,
I'll tell you what you're doing, So why don't you run?
You know what people just sometimes people said just telling
Oh it's not a bit idea. Maybe I should be
running the party people you know, ego, oh you know,
you know, I tell you what you're doing. Great, you're
doing better than the Sema. Why don't your house tonight?
Am I good?

Speaker 1 (48:57):
There to go?

Speaker 3 (48:58):
I'm sure that's what people think.

Speaker 12 (48:59):
Yes, yes, well I think it'll be a pretty dirty game,
and I'm really dirty.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
I'm sure would be.

Speaker 12 (49:07):
I think it'd be really pretty awful. Actually, I think
you'd be gray head in a minute. I've just been
reading actually Grant Robertson's book recently, and also Jacinda R.
Durn's book that she put out, and they're quite an

(49:27):
eye opener, both of them literally, but they're very interesting reading.
But I think you have to be made of steel
to go into that cesspit. Actually, and I'd never do it.
Even if they offered me millions, I wouldn't do it,
but I do. I do think anyway. I don't to

(49:49):
hold you up, but I just want to say that,
even though I don't like David Seymour much, I'm going
to vote for ACT, and I'm going to vote because
of Paul Henry.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Well, I appreciate your I appreciate your clarity of vision
that you've given me.

Speaker 12 (50:05):
Tonight, tris okay, I'm so please listen to you night.
I listen every night. Thank you very much.

Speaker 18 (50:12):
Man.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
I lovely to talk to you too. I'm glad we
fleshed that one out. I'm an ACT voter. I do
not support Paul Henry. Will not be voting for ACT
this selection. My voting history from ninety nine ers is followed.
Candidate vote, Party, vote, Alliance, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor, ACT. ACT.
Is that guy one guy's got having trouble with reception,
but he's it's his radio shagged, is it? Then we

(50:34):
get a lot of texts. We get a lot of
texts from people saying the radio, the reception is gone.
But if it's just one, we tend to think that's
a pilot error. Marcus, the ACT telephone tree is growing,
glowing like Christmas tonight. I don't think it is because
normally when peering up, oh, I died in the world
and you's in first supporter, because if someone's pretending to
be an ACT voter, you that your Marcus. Oh yeah,

(50:55):
I get to Steve here. Steve, I mean John here.
It's really changed the name and they've got they've changed
the name, Steve. I'm John here, very very strong National.
I think this time, I think, I tell you, I
think Paul Henry is the breath of fresh air this
country needs. Straight shooter, calls it like it is, calls
a spade a spade. So yep, so best news I've heard.

(51:19):
So I'm gonna go ACT. I'm leaving Nationale. I'm gonna
vote ACT because I think that's the game change. We
need a self made man a lot of money, doesn't
need to be there, but he's doing it for the
love of the country. He's sacrificing three six nine years
of his life to make New Zealand the country it
could be. That's I think what the ACT phone tree

(51:39):
would tell. And I'm not hearing people like that anyway, Marcus,
all your callers are voting Paul Henry will switch to National.
When they announced their secret weapon in a couple of months,
who could it be? Who would National secret weapon be?
They haven't announced is keyback. It's the one they love.
I'm just trying to think who would be the person
could come back and revolutionize the national Who would that be? Anyway,

(52:03):
I'm looking I'm looking forward to that matter. It's Marcus.
Thanks for hanging in the evening, okud I like it
so good mate, Augod he's gone.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
They just uh you know, they got Paul Henry.

Speaker 18 (52:15):
Great conversation just and you just mentioned John Key there.
Did you see the article a little while ago read
John Key flew his chopper and and hung out with
Paul Henry the Red Barn?

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Are you asking me if I remember or are you
telling me, well know whether.

Speaker 18 (52:36):
You read the article? Because it was just I just
thought it might be a little interesting whether he got
some inside from Johnny t before he had a crack
and jumped in the pool.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
What's the Red Barn?

Speaker 18 (52:47):
So that's poor Henry's place that he's got by forever
of a prison.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
Has he got a helicopter to No.

Speaker 18 (52:56):
I don't think he's got one, but he had the
John Key jumping there. So I just wondered whether there
was a little check right till I'm doing this, you
might have to hug it up a little bit, might
enter the conversation.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
But Key wouldn't be encouraging him to do that, would he.

Speaker 18 (53:12):
Well, I don't know, that's what just it just came
to me. So I thought, I read the article a
little while ago, and then he announces it, and I thought.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
I don't know even know what. I don't even know
what the etiquette is. You got those lifestyle properties here,
and your mates want to come around the Helicopters's just
a free for all. Gotta be the worst enough for
people knocking at the door and expect ledlone if they're
coming in with a helicopters. Oh God, to the bunker.
It's keasy again. Come on, Diane's key again, Ellie Williams

(53:42):
and there's a missus coming. Begs. I think you've got
to fly the whole time to keep your hours up,
don't you. You've probably run out of people to visit,
so braggy a helicopter. Brian Marcus, Hi, Brian, welcome.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Yeah, Hi Marcus. I think Paul Henry going to act
maybe a good thing. It won't change the way that
I'm vating. Both my votes are still going to go
with David Seymour in ACT. I think Paul Henry is
deputy to David Seymour would be good, although.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
They're not going to do that because they've just appointed
that Nicola McKee.

Speaker 5 (54:18):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, so you know, I've got a
good line up of people there. So I'm happy with
ACT T votes coming.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Up, double tech, you'll double texts.

Speaker 5 (54:29):
As long as we get rid of New Zealand's.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
What's the problem there?

Speaker 5 (54:35):
Yeah, not a Peter's solo or a Saint James Man,
but like ACT, Yeah, so put me in two votes
ACT and Paul Henry and David Seymour.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
But what about Lawsy. He's a straight shoot, calls it
like it is called a spade a spade.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
Yeah, I don't know about laws I think I still
like Paul Henry. I think he is the more, he's
got more firepower.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Did you think did you know? Are you like a
super fan? Did you know this was coming up? This announcement?

Speaker 5 (55:03):
No? No, I just heard it tonight. Seven good yees.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Yeah, yeah, okay, so you're not changed. I appreciate your honesty.
You're doing what you need to do. You're voting for ACT.
Of course, Top's there. Top. No one knows any of
the candidates. I don't know who they are. They just boffins,
are they? I looked at the list. There's no one
down sound, no one an Invera Cargol. But we're not
count We're driving the economy, data centers, aluminum, milk powder.

(55:34):
Can you want a part of that? Top, Lucretia, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 13 (55:38):
Oh hi Marcus, it's my first time with you.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Good, thank you, Lucretia. Good for good, thank you.

Speaker 13 (55:44):
I have contemplated calling you in the evenings at times
when I around the time I picked my daughter up
from her job, so she often finished at eleven, So
I thought, well, you know, I've got a bit of
time stare tonight. So I'm actually, you know, and you've
got me on this one because I need do. I
find Paul Henry an absolute character on an absolute screen
and highly intelligent. As said I the lady said, you know,

(56:08):
I'm not so much of a David Seymour fan, not
that I disagree with every saying. It is, just like
one of the other ladies said, it's his manner and
his cockiness and a bit of arrogance at times, and
just the way he's trying to shape this country into
something that I don't believe it's actually naturally you know,
destined to be. You know, we are unique to or
New Zealands.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
No, woman have a problem with him, No.

Speaker 13 (56:29):
I don't know. Well I've got I've got very specific
things about him. I don't like to write I don't
as from human to human. I don't like to write
any politician off because there's still people with feelings. We
do have to remind ourselves of that. But we don't
have to agree with their beliefs and their policies. But
I don't like people are taking them. I don't like

(56:50):
people trying to bully them out of Parliament either. I
really feel very strongly about that. They go through a
lot behind the scenes, and that we don't get to
hear about a lot of that. But yeah, it's quite damaging.
So it's it takes a very gutsy person to take
on that role. You know, you can't say much as
start in correctly, which I think is terrible with me,

(57:10):
But it's just, you know, you have to be honest.
We do critique them a lot, and they are still
human beings and yeah, so yeah, but I just as
for Paul Henry, I really like Paul Henry, regardless of
him being outspoken. He's a straight shooter, yes, and as
long as that's another way of saying he's honest and

(57:34):
you know, you know, like transparent as everybody wants a
politician to be. We want to be able to trust
them and make the right decisions for us. I have
to say, it's definitely going to add some humor and love.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
So it sounds like you're a Paul Henry super fan,
but also an ACT super fan anyway, So it's just
a dream night for you, isn't it. It's like your
great loves will come together.

Speaker 13 (58:00):
Oh I've never voted for ACT a bit of it.
I'm a bit of I'm a bit of a Winny fan.
I've even mist men on a personal level. I've ever
been out for dinner with him. I've been with other people,
of course, not on my own. And I got to
I'm a singer and I got to sing for him
and I got to talk to him one on one,
and he was a very nice man. But I just
feel the reason I'm a thing. I've always done cover music,

(58:23):
but I also did some originals I've written, and he
actually was quite taken with me. When with my music
and actually offered to help promote me in Washington because
he's got connections here.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
This is this is a.

Speaker 13 (58:35):
Few years ago now, so I've got on a personal
level and in as Wellington home and everything, and it
was a really neat experience. And he's a real character.
He's an absolute you know jag behind the scenes, and
it was nice for me to meet a politician on
a personal level, one that's usually can rub people up
the wrong way and he's very outspoken at times. But

(58:58):
unfortunately what's putting me off voting for him this year
is Shane Jones. To be straight up, I'm not a
fan of him, and that's what's up sitting media. So
I just I don't want to run someone down, especially
on the radios. I don't think it's well.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
It'll be a tough day for Shane Jones too, because
he went head to head with Sam Neil, and Sam
Neil has said that sam Neil said that that really well.
Friends of Samuel said that was quite you know that
that it was quite a tough. I think it was
quite tough for him, just because he came out of
post that particularly when we see now he was well
we knew he was having Canter treatment, but so you know,
and now there's all that outpouring for Sam Neil of love,

(59:34):
isn't there?

Speaker 13 (59:35):
There's all the wrong thing, doesn't he and he just
he's almost a bit I find him a bit repulsive,
to be honest, I think. And he's in this limousine
s didn't recently that just said that just took the
cake for me, that was too much. I just feel
very strongly I.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Don't like the cozy relationship he has with the media.
He's always putting on parties for the media and stuff,
and it always seems to me to be a bit
it's a bit close and cozy. That's what might take is.

Speaker 13 (59:55):
Very spoylt behind the scenes. I know that much because
I have a friend that wickson Parliament and has for years.
And do you'll connect it, Yes, I am. And I
get to hear things, maybe not always for the focus.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
It's so good influence, so wow.

Speaker 13 (01:00:08):
But I do feel ruth you know, Like I say,
I've got my own unique thoughts about things, and I
just I would like people to take a step back
and still treat them like human beings, no matter what
they do to upset people.

Speaker 6 (01:00:22):
But yeah, it's.

Speaker 13 (01:00:24):
Hard for It's going to be hard this year. To
be honest, Marcus, I'm really struggling to decide who to
vote for because I'm very passionate about politics and I'm
in the I'm doing my law degree at the moment.
International relations is my minor, and I'm intending on getting
into politics in the near future. And I'm so I'm
very passionate about it, and I just but a lot

(01:00:45):
of people are saying, why would you want to do that?
What are you thinking? And I was like, well, you know,
I've been through a lot of my life and I'm
thick enough skinned now and I actually reckon I could
handle it. I can hold my own.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Nice to hear from you, the creature. Nice to phone
meet you. Twenty to ten, eighteen to ten, Hello, En,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:01:06):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:01:08):
I'm just wondering, should the Coalition come.

Speaker 13 (01:01:10):
Back in power, how would Henry look as Speaker of
the House.

Speaker 8 (01:01:19):
What would he do?

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Would you think whether he'd be good or not? Or
do you think that's this?

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be crazy. Wouldn't he'd be crazy?

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
I think okay, I think they normally give it to
someone who's had experience.

Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
Ah, well, maybe after a year that he might get it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Yeah, I don't think you get I don't know if
anyone gets to the I mean it might be wrong
about that. And I don't know if anyone's got their
first term. But yeah, I think the super fans, I
think LUCRETI wouldn't want them Speaker of the she'd one
of them has been Minister of Well Attorney general. Oh Marcus.

(01:01:59):
I've been a labor voter all my life. Paul is
an interesting and like all person, I watch all his
TV shows. I will be voting ACT and supporting Paul.
That's from June. So June's doing that and good honor.
That's what June says. So thank you for June. You
want to talk about this God our weight one hundred
and eighty eight ten nine to detext any other comments,

(01:02:24):
get in touch. We're talking about has this caused you
to change your vote? What is the Paul Henry effect?
Are you thinking? Man? Oh man, the eagle has landed.
This is my guy and he's going there. I'm all in.
Someone said, so New Zealand First and Act make a

(01:02:44):
secret agreement before the election, and National has not so
many voters, National becomes the kingmaker, Marcausi's pundits like Henry
and Law's going for elections are side of the desperation
of the right wing because they fear that this effective
people are going to register and vote. Maybe former news

(01:03:07):
presenter Simon Dalla will run for National, Marcus. Why is
that they send quite a few texts through your program
on various subjects, some of which I get an acknowledgement reply,
but others I receive nothing, Dallas. I don't know how
the text message works, Dallas, but I've got that one
and one about cricket, and one about chicken salt already
better than North Island, Believe it when I see it,

(01:03:30):
and one about saying David Sema was one of the
most intelligence leaders. We have him some credit occasionally. I've
only got five texts from you. On a personal level.
Just watching Paul Henry on three News tonight, he said
to be very happy with number three on the list.
He said that this hasn't been out now he assumes

(01:03:51):
Nicole McKee would be at number two. So we'll get
in another text. Door says, I like Paul Henry, but
the fact someone can switch from labor to act just
shows what a mockery our political system is. It's all
about personalities and not policy policy, and I believe to
understand it. To navigate bureaucracy are surely the most crucial components,
and that's where people get found out, isn't it. They

(01:04:11):
think it's going to be a cake walk, but it's
anything but. Disappointed to hear Lucretia call Shane Jones repulsive
after all her talk about not setting personal, not getting personal.
Take your point, Marcus's always fund Chris Sipkins more available
than Chris Luxe, especially across Maori, Pacific and other ethnic
minority communities. The Opportunity Party is also becoming. I'd love

(01:04:32):
to see them in parliament, Saffron. It's not the question though,
is it, Marcus. Most people need to remember Paul Henry
was sacked for laughing at his racist comment on live television.
Let's see if he laughs at the unemployment, child poverty, homeless.
People are already going to vote for this man because
he's funny, unbelievable. Yeah, I think she was the Minister

(01:04:58):
of Delhi, wasn't she. It was a difference of a
parliamentary system that they had there, but he's mispronounced his
name and made fun about it and John Key had
to apology. Joys well, John Key chose to apologize rather.
I think that he was sick from a job. That's
what a quick reread of wikipedie reminded me. And if
you want to talk on here about this, it's good.
It's good that we've got talking about juicy to talk

(01:05:18):
about he Tel twelve. We've got to be a part
of it. So yeah, and there's plenty of scope with this.
But I think I think for a lot of people,
the joy of Paul Henry is the fact that people
don't like him. That seems to give people comfort, which
is weird. A oh well, small country bottom of the ocean. Steve,

(01:05:39):
it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
Yeah, gooday Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:05:42):
How are you good, Steve?

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Thanks, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 17 (01:05:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:05:45):
Hey, I was just calling you about the whole Paul
Henry and the dickshit thing that cracked him up with
their lady's name being dick shit and how people claim
to be racist.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Look, I think, to be honest, Steve, I think we've
I think we've moved on from that. I think I
think that was done in its day, and I'm not
to get into that now because it did cause offense
then and I don't think a lot's to be gained
ten years on to have discussed about what is racist
and wants or not. But yeah, I don't know what

(01:06:17):
your surname is, but certainly a mispronunciation of it. But yeah,
but it's not what I'm about tonight. By the way,
she was the chief minister of Delhi was a situation there.
But yeah, it might be a discussion for the other night,
but I'm not up for that tonight, Steve, because could

(01:06:40):
you be bothered with those sorts of discussions anyway? Paul
Henry will be a breath of fresh air. People love
that a for stuffy bts, people that don't give a
about the people that vote for them. I would now
never ever vote for Act Paul Henry. Seriously, Marcus, this

(01:07:02):
supposed to be a political joke, Dune the lifetime labor
voters switch to pull Henry's interesting. There are number official
labor voters who don't have a home anymore. Labor no
longer the part of the blue collar working class, and
top are way out left beyond the Greens. A lot
of people from the survey today about voting top were

(01:07:22):
national supporters. Anyway, if you want to be a part
of the show. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty on
this Best Steel Day, I did some reading about best
Steel today and the storming of the Best Steel gives
three people in the best Steel prison. When it was
stormed on Best Steel Day thousands or hundreds, the answer

(01:07:45):
was seven four counterfeiters, two with mental illness and one
there on the instruction of his family. And also too,
there was the man in the Iron Mask, and actually
wasn't an iron mask. It was a v lure mask
and he was in solitary confinement for all his life
thirty five years because well, no one knew who he was.
His face was hidden. It's presumitary was a courtier of

(01:08:07):
the King Louis the fourteenth. And on the back of that,
I think I'll read the man in the Iron Mask,
because I never have so you I've always seen that headline.
It never quite worked that one out. But yes, get
in touch if you want to talk about this or
anything else. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
two nine two to text. What'd you say happened to
Nashley Dan was there something. Oh, there's a big parade

(01:08:30):
in Paris for Best Steel Day. It will be very hot.
I woant to mention even calling off I proposed to
call off sections of the Tour de Fronce because of that.
But if there's anything else you want to talk about tonight,
although I am enjoying the topic so far, Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to

(01:08:50):
text anything else you want to talk about? Yeah, yepia
in here right through till twelve o'clock. As I say, oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
to text through right until twelve. You got to be
a part of it for looking forward to what you've
got to say. So yeah, that's the plan. Anything else,
give us a holler and and we'll call that a night.

(01:09:10):
But yeah, get in touch you want to be a
part of it. Just asking the question who was going
to change the part of the vote for because of
the appearance of Paul Henry on the political scheme spectrum.
And then the other question from me is that often
these people will come along decide to go on too politics,
well known people. I'm going into politics, and yeah, kind

(01:09:32):
of choose them up, don't it, and they get lost.
But if we look at the great political people that
have come into our political system and become great politicians,
depending on where you are on the spectrum, I guess
probably the last two examples of people who had great
support and were great communicators. I imagine it'll be John

(01:09:53):
Key and you sind to Dern and you know it
was hard work. Number of years in the back benches
with both of them. I don't know how long john
Key was there, and then you know that they were
people that it wasn't over night, since it took it
took hard work. So I can't really think of any

(01:10:16):
examples of people that have PEPs in the Australian system.
You look at Bob Hawk, who was the head of
the trade union who came into politics and ver very
quickly became Prime minister. It was very successful. I don't
know how much difference you can make when you're one
of those people that comes in so suddenly. Yeah. Someone
said wood Row Wilson is a polity with two first names.

(01:10:38):
Reason I said, well, I'd say Wilson's almost just almost
say that I had two surnames Helen. It's Marcus, good
evening and welcome. I just can't find out where the
aricon of my mouse is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
Helen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Just don't say anything. I found it. Hi, Helen, It's
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:10:52):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 5 (01:10:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Gotcha? Got your out clear?

Speaker 17 (01:10:54):
Oh great. No, I wouldn't be changing my photo with this.
I'm not an act supporter, and this makes no difference.
I do support David Seymour over over what he did
with the end of life thing, but know, apart from that,
and we've also forgotten about the ur scandal, our word scandal,

(01:11:19):
Paul Henry and his our word scandal a few years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
What what? What scandal?

Speaker 19 (01:11:24):
The R word?

Speaker 21 (01:11:25):
He used?

Speaker 17 (01:11:26):
Of the R word? I think it was to do
with Susan Boyle or something.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
Oh yeah, I think the three scandals. I think there
was one about a woman with a mustache, there was
one about Susan Boyle, and there was one about de
prounciation of an Indian woman's name. I think, and I
would say, I don't thin anyone's forgotten about those. I
think people have. I think people that enjoy people that
speak their mind have kind of kept those stories going.

(01:11:53):
That would be my understanding. I think people. I think
the people. I think people found that great what he did.

Speaker 17 (01:12:01):
I think there's a great truth in the saying weapons
don't change this bot.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Oh yeah, and and and I think the people that
he appeals to don't want him to change his spots.
There would be my take on it.

Speaker 17 (01:12:11):
No, Well, anyway, I give credit to David Seymour over
his end of life people. That was Marvelus, But no,
I'm not an act supporter.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
That means you can check out six months if you've
got to turn on this, doesn't it.

Speaker 17 (01:12:26):
Yeah, yeah, I think he did. Marveus worked there, but
an ongoing work too, so or credit to him for that.
But apart from that note, okay, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
My pleasure, Thank you, Helen. It's comments we are looking for.
Would you change your vote? Are you changing your vote
on the back of the fact that Paul Henry's going
for parliament and boy oh boy, he's got publicity money
couldn't buy, or maybe it has brought but well maybe
can't say that, but I'll tell you what. They have
got a huge amount of headlines from this today all

(01:12:57):
over TV one news, all over TV three News will
probably be on the brick for shows tomorrow and you
couldn't name it. I don't think you'd name anyone after.
I mean it was always David Seymour von van Valden
and then McKee, and then you couldn't name any others.
I was the fed farmer's guy. There is he act?

Speaker 21 (01:13:15):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
I used to ring him when you're radio to interview him.
And yeah, his wife wasn't happy when you rang him early.
But anyway, that's a situation there. Oh, then the guy
that hadn't read the book. But get in touch if
you want to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome head
on midnight tonight. Oh wait one hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine to detext. But is this
a game changer? Has it changed your game? Are you

(01:13:36):
cocker hope that he's there? Marcus, Laws and Henry must
still be affected by whatever is in the coffee. The
majority of z B drink. Oh, Laws and Henry must
still be affected by whatever's in the coffee. The majority
at ZED be drink. Very sad that you're drinking. You'll
fill as well. I think if you are you implying
that Laws and Henry never worked for News Talk z B.

(01:13:59):
To my knowledge, I think Michael Paul Henry originally worked
for very briefly for National Radio, and he was working
for Radio Pacific, and that was a long time ago.
Do Do Do Do do, Marcus. We need a farmer
with a mortgage and kids to be the prime ministers,
someone who is in touch with the real life experiences,

(01:14:21):
not some show pony. There's lots of money's out of
touch the majority of the population. The talk about how
good this All Blacks team is is like the health
of Richie McCall's foot in twenty eleven. A load of crap.
There's more cracks in this team than raises dance moves.
I think the biggest challenge Seemour will have is keeping
Henry under control. He will be a challenge to manage.

(01:14:43):
Getting touched you on talk about this, Marcus till twelve.
Oh wait, I haven't even checked the emails tonight. What
are people saying? I've been a Labor Party voter for years.
I like mister Henry. I'm looking act policies now online
so far so God, would I vote act on what
I've seen? Yes, one hundred percent, surprise you have it'll
do earlier? Do Do Doo? Which the area is Paul

(01:15:07):
Henry standing in. He's not standing in my area, so
I can't vote for him. No, the only vote that
matters is the party vote, and he'll be on the list,
so everywhere around the country people can vote for him.
We get two votes. The only vote that matters is
the party vote that determines how many people from that

(01:15:28):
party get into parliament. The electorate vote only determines. It's complicated.
But yeah, Marcus, I've got one of those Woolworth collectibles today.
They look so cheap. We'd be better off to buy
a toy from Temu. What junk, What junk? None of
this is Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 25 (01:15:48):
Evening, Marcus. I actually don't think it's a very good
idea voting in a celebrity for parliament. Look what it
did to America. So no, not for me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Okay, talk about Trump.

Speaker 25 (01:16:09):
Yeah, and look, and now we're getting someone like Paul Henry.
My god, you have to have a bit of dignity.

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
You can understand if you're a political party, you'd be
excited because he's got a huge profile. I mean, this
would well, let them have it.

Speaker 25 (01:16:27):
But there will be a price to pay for people
going into Parliament that don't know why they're there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Well, that's the question I'm asking. Do these name candidates
make a.

Speaker 25 (01:16:38):
Difference None that I've seen.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
Well, if we had the name candidates that have been
in there, we've had people, we've had We've had Graham Thorne,
We've had Brendan.

Speaker 25 (01:16:52):
Horror He didn't he didn't do much.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
Brendan Horroran, he got the don't come. He was the
weatherman for TV three. You must have heard it, how
he was all the rage there for on the old
It was it long ago.

Speaker 25 (01:17:11):
Never heard of him.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
You must have excuse me, Marcus, you mustn't.

Speaker 25 (01:17:17):
That's a thank you never heard of him, like you say.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
He was accused that Brendan Horan got in New Zealand.
He was the weatherman, right, he's a lifeguard. That he
was a weatherman. Then he got on the government with
New Zealand first and then he was accused of taking
money from his dying mother's bank account and spending it
on gambling.

Speaker 25 (01:17:37):
Exactly, there you go, my per well y. You said
that there were two people, john Key and jacind their
way through just thinder then worked their way through. You know,
you have to do the groundwork you've got to. It's
a I mean, it's not a job for me, but

(01:17:58):
I mean I do respect people.

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
That the.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
To be effective, you've got to work out how it works,
because you've got to meet the people and know the
people and work out what to do. You can't just
because I think people, I think your bureaucrats everything and
hang about who's this guy, and they'll stey me here.

Speaker 25 (01:18:16):
And Winston Peters, I think he has done a good
job with some things. He's but he's going to be eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
I think he'll be already eighty, isn't he Well, there
you go, But how old will he be at the
end of next term? Be older than Is he older
than Trump?

Speaker 25 (01:18:31):
No, Trump's eighty just had his birthday apparently. I mean,
I just think he You know, these are people that
you know, don't think through issue.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Winston Peters was born in nineteen forty five, so he's
eighty one. He's older than Trump.

Speaker 25 (01:18:51):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
It'll be aady fo.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
It'll be aady for at the end of this term.

Speaker 25 (01:18:55):
Yeah, And I mean it's not you. You've got to
be sharp as a tack, and you've got to really
and he is sharp as a tack at the moment,
But I Shane Jones making Shange owns his deputy.

Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
People, people, people, I mean he's a yeah, people get
wound up by he's liability factor.

Speaker 25 (01:19:13):
Has he it's because he speaks in riddles. If you
don't agree with him, it's his way of the highway.
And he's off on the highway and a limousine that
we're all paying for.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
And that pompous smugwey talks talk to the Martin.

Speaker 25 (01:19:27):
Yeah, I can't either with that. That just do you
know what that is? It's insulting our intelligence. I don't
like it. But anyway, I've only got one vote, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
Really serious, you've got.

Speaker 25 (01:19:42):
That's right, But I want someone with dignity and somebody
who's well measured, has principles, and I don't see at
the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Well, the thing is too because all these discussions I'm having,
we're not when we never talk about anyone that's under fifty.
I mean, once upon a time the politicians were coming.
They'll be great young people. Look at Norman Kirk. They're
great people with great vision. But now we just get
the people that have had their chance, and now they're
kind of saying, you know, we want to get back
to this country back to how it was.

Speaker 25 (01:20:16):
You know, it's never going to be back the way
it was.

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
We don't want to back. We don't want we don't
think we want the country back when it was. I mean,
he's in in the fifties with a dark and grim place.

Speaker 25 (01:20:25):
Yeah see. And also free trades made a huge difference
to how this country will be because people come in
here buy up firms and you know, businesses, and then
they say it's not making any money, but they take
the brand name with them when they go. And what's
left people.

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
Out of work and the data centers. That's what got
me worked up. Lone and nice to talk. Thank you
very much for that eight hundred eighty twenty past ten. Marcus,
not somebody. I put my name at the end of
every texture. The only host doesn't read out the names.
I thought it was quite good at the names, Marcus.
Do you think Seymour is on a big recruitment drive
because winning is winning the popularity polls, bet the tails

(01:21:07):
begged Luxon and Hipkins. I note, is there anyone at
all likable in this coalition? I find I'm using the
mute button a lot these days. That's from Gary Marcus.
I'm tony disolutioned with politics and politicians. How any one
of these reasonable, any reasonable level of intelligence could take
to these serious is beyond me. For the reckon. My
great uncle was a former prime minister. This lot would

(01:21:28):
have him turning in his grave. Oh yous, see what
Andrey A Vance has to say about it. She gave
all the announcement of laws a bit of a serve. Ah, yeah,
well goodness hmmm oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighteen
nineteen ninety to text, it seems like there's been a

(01:21:52):
big plot foiled in Australia to kill the prime minister
a far right trade. He suggested kidnapping promist to Anthony
Abernezi and holding him for questioning. Also threatened to kill
Home Affairs minister in Parliament House to twenty eight year
old planned to save nation Needer pulling Hansom from the
inferno by sending a letter saying, don't come to Parliament today. Oh,
by the way, we have football. To wonder what trade?

(01:22:14):
He was fit a machinist. There is football tomorrow morning, Dan,
who is it now? It's Wednesday morning? It's not our
free one is our free ones Thursday morning. Tomorrow morning
will be Spain France. Marcus Henry's inclusion for ACT as
I think mostly about getting more cut through on act's
policy message past a very negative social media landscape. Cheers Rob.

(01:22:39):
Would it be fair to say that that New Zealand
First does a lot better in social media than ACT.
I think they are probably more aggressive and more kind
of online. I think they have got more of those composents.
I think New Zealand First is more the keyboard worry,
keyboard warriors party that make my That be my take
on that. Around two months ago I saw Paul Henry

(01:23:02):
and his wife into a nice restaurant with John kenn
His wife look cozy. Definitely mates, so I said about
squeezing New Zealand First out. Anyway, I enjoying all your messages.
There's some good thoughts there. Keep it going twenty five
past ten o'clock if you want to be on touch
these lines free Ryan sick of the football, Thanks Ryan, Marcus.

(01:23:25):
Paul Henry's political career is likely to follow that. Another
broadcast entered Parliament Pam Corkory one term and once they
discovered that of exclusively as the microphone, they give up
Gary formerly Jason Thinker.

Speaker 8 (01:23:35):
Gary.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Yeah, I mentioned that her about Pam Corkory and she
was actually doing this shift, this free shift on z B.
And what happened to her is I think she got
inspired to it was all about the port of Auckland
and stopping the privatization of that. Although I think she'd
already wan Ren run for the Auckland mayoralty, but yeah,

(01:23:59):
she'd get into parliament. But she was one term for
the Alliance Party. It was the nineteen ninety six election,
and she wrote in her political confession politicians are by
and large far more self deluding, devious, bloated, insecure, egocentric
w word than I had fared. It was thirty years ago,

(01:24:21):
so yeah. And of course she was involved with the
Internet Party, remember them, and Kim dot Com was involved
with that. Ah, it's been a busy old time. But yeah,
if you're a talk on her, that's kind of what
we're about tonight. And the question I've asked and the
response has been quite good, is Paul Henry's announcement is

(01:24:41):
big news today? Has it caused anyone to change their vote?
And there's some people, but not a huge amount will
there be a lift in the polls. I made you
to be one or two percent, And he says this
country'll got to the dogs of act stays and power
they along with that should have destroyed the economy. No
economic growth. Yeah, I don't quite see what your emails

(01:25:04):
about Alice and Colin Meads. I don't know why you
sent me an email about him, but thank you for that.
And if you want to talk on it, if you're
trying to get through, our lines now available, So get
in touch, oh eight hundred eighty to eighty and nineteen
ninety to text anything else you want to talk about tonight.
I'm totally up for it. So let's be hearing from
your people. We're here to the end. And yes, when

(01:25:26):
I say the end midnight and there is football tomorrow,
I think just putting that out there. So we've got one, two, three,
four more games in the Football World Cup, and I
don't think they should be having a playof for third
and fourth. That would be horrible, wouldn't it. You don't
want the big thing they're going to try and work.
I mean that's like Tane Randall said when we had
to play that game. It is terrible anyhow from here

(01:25:47):
till twelve, if you want to talk about these things
or anything else, it's mainly about Paul Henry, and then
we'll put that topic aside. But get in touch if
you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine two to text. I have asked
who's the first person to get the Smeg knives, because
I tell you what, I'm trying to do the reverse
of last time when everyone missed out, including me, and
I don't care. But they're all there, and I'll.

Speaker 9 (01:26:09):
Tell you what.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
If it's a choice between the Smeg knives from New
World and the things you get it Wilworths' to no brainer.
But yeah, some of you will be grizzling before long
when you've missed out. Do do do, Marcus tell agree
with Lana Henry will be a disgrace, self serving and
full of rubbish. We have enough of those getting paid

(01:26:30):
by the tax payers already. Scheesday. Well, no matter what happens,
it's going to be the same number of MPs that
are getting paid, so he's not going to get paid
more than other MPs, so the bill will be standard.
It's just how hard working they will be Paul Henry
Marcus will make will easily make ACT a more important party,
even if you've never liked what ACT stood for. Well,

(01:26:50):
actually tell you what. I look through the list of
those people and almost five to six for the way
through this term in Parliament. Apart from Nicole McKee, who
has got her profile, a lot of the others have
been quiet performers. Evening Mark Evening Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:27:11):
The quest has begun officially.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
How many today? This is for Smig night? What do
you want?

Speaker 22 (01:27:18):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:27:18):
I have no I stood there looking at the the
offering and I guess you have to go for the
big dogs. Really have to go for the exclusive ones
that are going to run out quickly, because.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
I want you to get because you missed out on
your Graham brazy didn't your last time?

Speaker 21 (01:27:35):

be better than losing the man himself.

Nine two one nute? Other BSA they're silly BSA ed day,

to get rid of it. I'm going to confused with
the bluff postcode nine eight four. Okay, I'll tell you what.
How many stickers do you need? Mag a lot?

Speaker 21 (01:28:35):
Well, like a hundred, probably more. There was a.

Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:29:19):
Why not? Indeed, I'd appreciate that great.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
Yeah, I'm it might it might pan out. I don't
know how motivated people are for the knives, but I'm motivated.

Speaker 21 (01:29:29):
How much motivated?

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
How much have to spend to get a sticker?

Speaker 21 (01:29:32):
Twenty dollars?

Speaker 5 (01:29:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:29:35):
I was able to get really well? How close did
I get last time? I certainly had the stickers, but.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
Closest though, where it might have been one sticker away them.
It doesn't make any difference because it was brutal at
the end, there was nothing left.

Speaker 21 (01:29:48):
Ah this cutthroat.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
I spoke to a guy that went to the island
by knew Wild. He hang out in the car park.
He got all the stickers within a day because they're
just blowing away in the wind. That is pulling them
from the It was pulling them from the he bees
and the melimbiquia.

Speaker 21 (01:30:03):
That is resourful. Tell you you yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
Are you like a chef?

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:30:11):
I got.

Speaker 21 (01:30:11):
I'm a very enthusiastic and to cook.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
Someone said, I'm going to the soupermarket tomorrow. I'll spend
eight hundred. I'm happy to carry my stickers to you
for that man, dere you just email that protects that
person back and say that snail mail will be fine
because I think we've got more chance of getting today. Yeah,
because a career going lot, you'd have old everyone's all
over everyone in that building, hasn't you got Fletch and
Vaughn there is? Are they taking people's mail? It all

(01:30:36):
just seems loose that building, doesn't it. Yeah, No, we'll
get them sent to us.

Speaker 21 (01:30:39):
Okay, Mark, Okay, that sounds great.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
And I see people on Facebook already on the Bluff
Facebook page, people saying I want all your stickers and stuff.
So there is a frenzy for the knives.

Speaker 21 (01:30:51):
All right, let's get into this. Yeah, we'll share it
on the Facebook.

Speaker 9 (01:30:55):
We'll do that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Oh yeah, and if Dan, Dan, if you can put
that on a Facebook page to say, say, Mark from
Cambridge missed out on the brazier Frasier razer and he's
desperate for the knives. Could you've seen any stickers to
to po box private bag nine two one nine eight.

(01:31:17):
It put a humorous picture down, so people, I don't
know what a humorous picture is these days? Well what
what a humorous picture is a couple of picture of knives? Yeah? Anyway,
so see what we can do for you. Anything else
from you Mark and join the Football World Cup. You've
got any great wisdom about that?

Speaker 21 (01:31:36):
Look, I think it's you need to be a fantastic tournament. Uh,
it's the top four teams in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Have made That's right, that the top four teams, which
shows and the way they work the drawers worked out
for every team they thought to go through has gone through.

Speaker 21 (01:31:51):
I think it's fantastic. I think the attendance has broken
all records. The viewership's being number I've heard non football
podcasts say, what is this thing on the television that's
on all the time on American feeds. So it's obviously
breaking through over there.

Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
And they they thought out the they sorted out the simulation,
didn't they That guy won't be diving again.

Speaker 21 (01:32:16):
No, not for quite some time. But look, I think
it's been I think it's been a fascinating tournament and
it's great. Look, it's coming down to some really high
pressure moments here in this what little more than thirty
six hours, it'll be we'll know who's in the final and.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
It'll choke England have a good game, then a bad game.
That's what they say. Good game, bad game, good back
game bad and actually that last game was the bad games,
So maybe they're du.

Speaker 21 (01:32:44):
I think so. I think their last game was not
very good at all, and they've been a bit vulnerable
at times. They've got enough. They've always focused on one
person and now they've got two. Who we've had two before.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Okay, so we've got your details. If we get stick
I'm not promising anything, but I'll keep out it because
I want you to have your knives appreciate if you've
got a big family unit orre you shopping on your own?

Speaker 21 (01:33:10):
Shopping on my own currently?

Speaker 9 (01:33:12):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
So so because it doesn't favor the solo shopper, does it?

Speaker 21 (01:33:18):
No, you have to be quite resourceful, I guess. Yeah,
you know, and something like this sort of goes a
long way.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
Yeah, this would be huge for us, Mark. We'll do
what we can. Stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers, stick a stick,
a stick, a stick, a stick a stick of stickers.
Stick Were need a funny slogan for it? What are
we going to call it? Stickers?

Speaker 22 (01:33:39):
For Mark?

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
Makes it sound like his charity case. We probably is.
If you can just make sure that guy I have
a block too, I've seen to him stick as stick
as stickers for Mark Marcus, the little the political tales
are taking off the gloves is eighty one and grumpy
as if there is no news in him. First when
he goes which has to be intimate. Shane Jones has

(01:34:02):
no appeal. Nesh is a carreact wanting to happen seymore
death sprit for more of a slice. Paul Henry never
sticks to anything similar Michael Laws having crisis in transition
to retirement. We need a count binface. Well, I think probably.
I don't know, but I think the the ottag original
counsel is winding up too. I think he was without

(01:34:24):
a job. That's correct me if I'm wrong, That's why
the thing happened. I see that reported. So everyone wants
a gig. Everyone wants a gig. What inter keeps your
mind active? Doesn't it? Reading your minutes feel truly depressed
to read about Paul Henry standing is an act MP
in my opinion, he reinforces prejudicing, gives credits to those

(01:34:44):
who are setting their views, and quick to condeir minorities
cheap laughs at the express of others. Paul Henry supporting
act is the least surprising news. Ever, can't imagine that
his fans won't already staunch Act voters anyway, and he
won't bring the younger voters in because they won't know
who he is, will they? Because theyve stid of have
been in the wilderness. And I suppose he's been on traitors. Marcus,

(01:35:04):
you could tell Ai to draw a picture based on
what you think Mark looks like and put that on
your Facebook post. What would we put in for that, Dan,
It's not a bad idea. We don't know much about him,
do we. All I know about Mark from my memory
is that I think he worked for Telecom and he's
he's a David Bowie collector and his wheelhouse seems to

(01:35:27):
be Monaco in the nineteen seventies. Yeah, but get your
stickers to them. I'll get mine. Although we got we got,
we got bad knives. I was singing that today, that
our knives don't have it. I'd say it's something that's
frustrating with knives. Kiwi fruit, a keyw fruit requires a

(01:35:50):
special sort of knife. When they're ripe. You need a
bread knife, don't you because the Yeah, I don't know
about keyw fruit there, Yeah, anyway, who eat them with
the skin on? People who eat them with the skin on? Yeah, whatever,
trying to shock people now it's sixteen to eleven. Well,
I've done well with the talk back tonight, but it's
a bit gone, a bit dead now, which is fine, Marcus.

(01:36:10):
Let's hoping you would have learnt their lessons from previous
emotions out of good stock levels of the knives. I
think they like having not enough Marcus, regarding a knife
for Kiwi for it. Use a potato Peeter works a charm, Lisa,
I could use mandolin. They're a dangerous thing, aren't they?
The mandolin? I love them a mandolin, actually don't love it.
I want to use it three times onions. I don't

(01:36:31):
use it with the guard because the guard's kind of
not good. Now, get in touch people, you want to
talk on any about any of these things. What my
major thing tonight is Paul Henry Yet a lot of publicy.
Will it make a difference, Will it get any more
votes for act or is it more a case as
someone pointed out that probably that new Ze First is
leading the charge profile wise, because well, let's face it,

(01:36:55):
new Zi First does a lot better with publicity and
social media. That's my take on it. I think they
have taught ACT a lesson when it comes to profile.
I don't know what their lesson is, but yes, they
seem to be a lot more visible. Actually, what are
what other I'm just looking at the party results National? Sorry,

(01:37:15):
that's Labor thirty four percent, National twenty eight percent, New
Zealand first eleven percent, ACT seven percent. So yeah, they
are well, they're the one, two, three, fourth, fifth party
now and Opportunity close up behind. Interesting. I heard the
woman from Opportunity Party saying what I thought she said

(01:37:35):
today is that when they go into government, so after
the election, if they're over five percent, they will talk
first to the party with the most votes. So make
of that what you will. But yeah, I just thought
that was interesting for all the National people that were
voting for them. Do do do Do Do do do

(01:37:57):
Do Do do do But get in touch if you
want to. Thirteen to ten. Back in a bit evening,
Brian and Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:38:05):
Oh hi Marcus, did you hear me?

Speaker 9 (01:38:09):
Yep?

Speaker 8 (01:38:10):
Right? Talk? Yeah, Look, I sorry, I've been listening to
Zebby all day, all day because it's about saying me
he's very I was quite close to Sam many years ago,
so I just thought maybe I could just tell him
by his stories.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Sure, thank you, it'd be great.

Speaker 8 (01:38:28):
Uh, Well, I knew Sam. I worked with Sam for
six years national film here in the seventies, and before
Sam would become anybody, in the days that we didn't
have two pieces to rob together. Actually, and what am
I trying to say? I'm trying almost off the sleep
because I'm going over see tomorrow. But I just wanted

(01:38:51):
to tell the story that in those days we were
poor as church mice. And and then fun to listen
to him all day and and and hear about this
guy that's become so famous and so cool. I saw there.

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
What was what did he do when he first left school?
Where were you was? Did he head to Wellington? Is
that where you met up with him? Is that where
he was?

Speaker 6 (01:39:13):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:39:13):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:39:13):
So I joined the film unit and send the tree.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
Was the film unit based in Dunedin or was it
based in Wellington?

Speaker 8 (01:39:20):
Wellington?

Speaker 22 (01:39:22):
Well?

Speaker 8 (01:39:23):
Yeah, and we worked together.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
And so the question I was asking was did he
get a job after school at the film unit?

Speaker 8 (01:39:31):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, Honestly I wouldn't know
how actually, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
Because I haven't heard that explained about how he got
into all that stuff in the seventies. That's the question
I was asking.

Speaker 8 (01:39:42):
Right, So, but basically he was there as an assistant
director for documentaries because that's all we have made at
the National Film Units. So for six years we worked
together and oh god, like I said, we were all
sort of quite sort of totally stricken, and you know,
we had to stay in the same hotels and once

(01:40:04):
we see the same the same bed, you know he
had you know, just maybe because young guys and we
will probably out of cap making films. But anyway, I
just wanted to tell you how how it ended. All
that all ended with me.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Yep, go on, yep, Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:40:21):
So today, of course I'm living in the cale and
you know me because vide did a campaign for you once. Anyway,
moving on, we're building a statue to Tim Shedbolt and
outside the f I T in the Icagole. And the
last thing that I think probably Sam probably didn't his

(01:40:41):
life a few weeks ago would give me an endorsement
to for the erection of Tim's statue outside of the
f I T and the cargo that's my story.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
And endorsed it in what way financially or gave your
approval or how does that shot into the picture?

Speaker 8 (01:40:57):
We're just up endorsement, said it was a good idea,
that was okay.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Okay, so I have to saying that's a good and
he would have known shared bot Is that right?

Speaker 16 (01:41:04):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:41:05):
Hell you absolutely. He was present at the World Fast
is in there. And by the way, the second part
of the stories that Roger Donaldson also came on board
two weeks ago to say that to also endorse the statue.
So I've got Tim, I've got sorry, I've got Sam
and Roger. Of course they were together on the first

(01:41:25):
film Seeing Dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
Okay, I've got to live with their brunks the right
out of time and thank you so much for that.
I'll catch up with you now. I've just got a
bit of a time for a quick break to you
on this best steel day I've been seeing on a
partner myself. Do you hear the people saying singing the
songs of angry men? But that, in fact was not
about the That was not about the French Revolution, was it?
That was earlier? Yeah, By the way, they're saying, mess

(01:41:49):
he's got his favorite referee for the land versus Argentina
World Cup semi final, so there's going to be a
lot of strong emotions in England for this. This is
Thursday morning. I think this game is either going to
deliver a moment of absolute headline grabbings, spence and scandal,
or it's going to be a very straightforward great match.

(01:42:10):
Both work for me. Now we are talking about Michael Osa,
we are talking about Paul Henry. But yes, you think
the originally Michael Laws thought he was going to be
the big biscuit, the big game changing endorsement. I'm sure
there'll be more to come. I don't know what. The
example for this is people from other careers entering into
politics and kind of been but yeah, when it comes

(01:42:32):
to New Zealand, we've had broadcasters go into politics. I'm
looking at Maggie Barry, who was successful. She became a
cabinet minister. So there's all but there's been all sorts
of other ones that haven't been as successful, like Horn
from New Zealand first, and all sorts of people. So
you might want to discuss that, and I wonder you

(01:42:52):
know where they're going to take this because it could
really work for act by the amount of discussion that's
been happened tonight. So yes, you want to talk about that,
get in touch before twelve eleven on seven. Welcome mom
here till twelve evening, and if you want to partake,
I'd like to hear from you. The number is eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you want to text,
it's nine to nine to two. You want to go

(01:43:16):
to Facebook, it's Marcus slash Knights. The address there is
I want to get. I want to get Mark as
damn stickers for his damn knives. There's only three comments
and one of them is from me, so he needs stickers.
And if you're wanting to if you found some stickers
in the comments, there is the po box you send
them to.

Speaker 16 (01:43:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
So yeah, we're doing it for Mark. So that's what
you want to be thinking. If you going a new world,
you want to get the stickers for Mark. I want
to get I want to get him his knives. Next
week he missed out on the brazier. He was driving
all around the North Island or saying it was going
to This is not a SOB story. This is just
a guy that wants some knives and I can use
my I just want to make them happy. Yeah, he's

(01:43:57):
not trying to run for government and trying to change
the world saying he's got all the best ideas in
the world. Godness for me. Where do people get off
saying I think I can get this country up and running.
It's all right to sit around for mates and drink
cable bowls of wine and say, oh, that's what I
want to do. But I'm sure it's different getting into
politics and doing stuff. Sure, it's incredibly difficult to change

(01:44:20):
stuff anyway, talking about Paul Henry. But the original question
I asked, I'll get back on to this. Has anyone
change the way they're going to vote because the fact
that Paul Henry is running for parliament? Are you excited
about this? Let me know about that. If you want
to talk, text me, also known to it's eight past eleven.
Anything else you're on about tonight, that's the plan, get

(01:44:41):
in touch. So yes, I am here for you people.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty come on,
you know, well, so fast to night. There's a war
in the Middle East. It's the old war. It's back again.
Iranian cruise missiles hit two U A oil tankers in
hormus as US strikes around for the third night. Yep,

(01:45:04):
so it's all on shipping firm says the tank has
attacked off a man in the Arabian Sea, so she's
it's not good. And the crew that is Brent, that'll
be through the roof. I'll check that while I'll wait
your input tonight, dude, waiting for a cold night. I
like a cold night to sleep. How are you? My

(01:45:27):
dream temperature is zero. Someone told me it's bad to
sleep in a cold room. I've slept in rooms in
the ice. Is the water's frozen? Oh yeah, we've got
a Oh I know, we've got a four degrees. Oh well,
I'll cope. The Brent crude eighty seven, so it's up
from it's up a lot. It's up from seventy two,

(01:45:48):
so it's up fifty six fifteen dollars. Since it's up
fifteen dollars in a week. They's a situation there. But
be in touch if you want to talk on air, Marcus,
when you can. When can you open the hot potato?
Conspiracy theories and marital affairs? Are you saying? That's people

(01:46:10):
meeting other conspiracy theorists online and bed swerving I was
horrified to hear Trump When asked by a reporter how
long the war will last, he said, well, we're in
Vietnam for nineteen years and this has only been four months.
Of course, he wasn't in Vietnam for nineteen years. He
had bone spurs, or he claimed to have bone spurs.
Come on for Paul Henry effect. That's just one of

(01:46:33):
the topics for tonight and the knives. But honestly, how
much will it cost them to send their knives to Mark?
Be three dollars seventy for postage, won't it?

Speaker 5 (01:46:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:46:43):
Oh well we've got four comments. Oh god, Now Kathy's
come under the comments. Does anyone have the ww bushes
that don't want? I like to collect and happy to
take it and want Kathy don't ruin our whole vibe
we've got going.

Speaker 19 (01:46:57):
We don't want that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
We hate the orshes. She's locked a profile, cool she has.
We just want Mark to get his knives because he
missed out on the brazier. Do the stickers digitally on
the app? Maybe they were we just seeing them, couldn't we?
That's the answer. Come on, people, Jane, are you there?
What do you want to say?

Speaker 5 (01:47:14):
Something?

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
Jane while you're there.

Speaker 26 (01:47:16):
Yeah, thank you for taking me. The reason that I
am not happy about Paul going.

Speaker 8 (01:47:23):
Into the.

Speaker 26 (01:47:26):
Well politics is years ago, much as my granddaughter of
thirteen would if they went about twelve sold I took
her for a walk. We live in summer. I took
her for a walk across one weird crossing that has
six roads with no stop or be careful on in

(01:47:47):
your side. You just know that you've got to stop
on them and be careful. And he when heresserting the
TV three I was walking across the east across the beach,
not only did not stop, but they stepped up and
had a stepped away with the buggy in front, step backwards,
bugging in front of me. She would have been collected

(01:48:10):
by not work.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
This is a this is a big way. I don't
think he worked for TV three.

Speaker 26 (01:48:14):
Did he must have been in the TV this is
remember twelve years ago or less than that, twelve point
eleven years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
Yeah, it's kind of a serious allegation. I wasn't there
and I haven't so he was. He was in a
TV three car?

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
Was he?

Speaker 3 (01:48:33):
He wouldn't have been. He wouldn't have been driving it though,
would he.

Speaker 9 (01:48:36):
Yes, he was.

Speaker 5 (01:48:37):
That's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
So did you did you press did you press charges
or anything?

Speaker 22 (01:48:41):
No?

Speaker 26 (01:48:42):
Because I was just yet out of it. I didn't
hear more about him.

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
You know, I don't want to turn this into a
court of Laura and say that this guy has done
something that I wasn't there to. It's a bit of
a tough allegation, that one, Jane. So I'm going to
leave that one there. But yeah, and that would be
the thing to do, would be to chase it up
at the time. You can't sort of religate that now
markets Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:49:04):
You hear me?

Speaker 22 (01:49:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:49:05):
Allowed and clears all right.

Speaker 6 (01:49:07):
I just help polited that the how much you would
need the boy do make knife? And it works? There
Rana bear seven thousand, six hundred dollars the boy the stickers,
what is about three hundred and eighty stickers? Yep, right now,

(01:49:33):
when you got that, then you're going to four care
another Oh was it another? I'm gotta go. I'm gonna
get the website. I hear it is now once you
got there there, So it's seven thousand, seven hundred and

(01:49:53):
fifty dollars. Now that that's all the stickers. That's three
hundred and seventy five stickers. Now, if you want the
block set, it's you're going to pay an extra fifty
if you want that. The other block set is another fifty.
If you want the cutting board, it's another twenty five.
If you want a state knife, it's another twenty dollars

(01:50:16):
on top of that.

Speaker 5 (01:50:17):
So that's where the.

Speaker 6 (01:50:18):
Seven hundred and seven hundred and fifty dollars comes out.
That's all that.

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
How is stickers do you need?

Speaker 8 (01:50:25):
So?

Speaker 6 (01:50:25):
By everything, three hundred and seventy five stickers and.

Speaker 3 (01:50:30):
How much you have to spend for a stick of
twenty bucks?

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
Yeah, so one take one stamp is twenty bucks. So
if you do your arithmetic, it works out to what
I've just said. So yeah, one thousand dollars is fifty
dollars by is fifty stickers.

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
How much are the knives worth?

Speaker 6 (01:50:53):
Well doesn't actually say how much the knives are worth
actually on here, but it's as you can't buy them.
You can only buy them from a New World. So
I'm picking if you went overseas and went to meg
itself or eBay itself.

Speaker 9 (01:51:09):
I think you would get them a lot cheaper.

Speaker 6 (01:51:12):
Seven thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:51:16):
Yeah, it's not my it's it's not my chop.

Speaker 6 (01:51:19):
No, it's not my clop even yeah, I think it's
it's a selling gimmit. You know it's a lot of
money to fork out for knives.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
Okay, you can get bonus stickers for some products.

Speaker 6 (01:51:32):
Yeah you can't. Yeah, that's right, you can when they
had their bonus stuff on. But you know it's not
my it's not really my cup of tea.

Speaker 3 (01:51:40):
Do you stop it? Do you shop at New World?

Speaker 6 (01:51:43):
No, we I normally shop.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
It will worse if you do stop at New World.
Can you send your stickers to us?

Speaker 6 (01:51:51):
Yeah, yeah, there's no problem. I know we've seen them.
I've already got your details.

Speaker 19 (01:51:55):
What you just said brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:51:58):
We've got Tracy from in the cargo has got some marks,
some stickers seend them mark what's the number?

Speaker 9 (01:52:03):
Down?

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Five eute seven two nine to one as close. That
is a terrible argument. You're not paying seven thousand for
the knives. You're buying all these groceries. Anyway of him
to collect and be bothered with the stickers at to bonus. Yes,
but you are shopping at a much more expensive supermarket.

(01:52:26):
You've given away your freedom of choice to shop around.
That's what new world. You're hopped on. New world. You
can't go to the butcher or the green grocer. You're
stuck there. You've lost your agency. I guess the key
product with the knives and New Waters that for most
people they shop there anyways. So the eyes are a
bonus that must be knives. I don't imagine anyone will

(01:52:47):
got a New World specifically to spend seven thousand for knives.
People get hooked, pig, you can't, Marcus, did you eskimo
pie tonight?

Speaker 7 (01:52:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:58):
Actually, Marcus, psychic's the word of your headit.

Speaker 19 (01:53:05):
O man two hours ago.

Speaker 3 (01:53:08):
Really, how often do you have them?

Speaker 19 (01:53:10):
Quite regularly? Like normally the wether ones to what everyone
specials at the suit once a week there's cap there
usually twice or three times.

Speaker 3 (01:53:19):
That's not such a it's not such a great prediction
from me. If it was like one a year, that
would be exciting. I'm okay about that. But psychic anyway,
so has Paul has Paul Henry got you? And you've
got you to going to act? If you switched from
your held first to act.

Speaker 19 (01:53:34):
No, I think I think I'll knock it up. I'll
see how he goes.

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
That'd be good for you to vote someone else, put
wins put Winston. Notice, go vote for Act.

Speaker 19 (01:53:44):
Everybody just jumping. I don't mind David Cmore. He's not
a bed bloke. You know, he could do a lot worse.
He's got some very common sense, man, Old David, He's
not random.

Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
In some of the comedy we go, straight Shooter calls
it like it is what about old? What about Paul Henry?
Straight shooter? Or he probably a bit showy for you?
Was he a but sort of a smart ass? Is
that right?

Speaker 19 (01:54:06):
But I think that's pretty good. He's like I listened
to him the on the on the radio today. He's
just put his hat in the arena today, hadn't he?
And he's actually got some good I reckon it'd be
good value for it for ACT. I reckon, he ll
what would.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Who would have to who would ACT have to run?
Who would ACT have to put him there to get
you away from Winston, which is the one person that
they could stand.

Speaker 19 (01:54:27):
No, I still reckon I'll use him first.

Speaker 3 (01:54:30):
There must be someone they could put up there. There's
like a Richie mcaur or Irene van Dyke or someone
that get you to go to act.

Speaker 19 (01:54:37):
No, I still reckon when he's still must.

Speaker 3 (01:54:40):
Be someone though, if everyone in the world there must
be someone that went to act, you'd vote for them.

Speaker 19 (01:54:46):
Well, maybe I'm giving a bit of a sicker, saying
Shane Jones. Actually he's getting a bit mouthy with the
with the the dredging under on the sea and.

Speaker 3 (01:54:57):
The people people hate him.

Speaker 19 (01:55:00):
He's starting to lose. He's starting to lose my favor
flavor as well. He's just getting a bit mouthy and
he's quite air of in some ways. Actually they're going back.
They're going back about the knives anyway. But I reckon
a lot of people. They're just getting just a big
head markers.

Speaker 3 (01:55:14):
To total heaven. People get hooked and fixation. It's like clicking.
It's like collecting things as a kid. You get fixated
and now the shop getting all the secret cards and
bubblegum and stuff because you because you're Yeah, I don't
I don't think it's good. But anyway, who am I
to judge? Who am I brings happiness to people? Oh?

Speaker 19 (01:55:30):
Yeah, well I've got a good possum Martin knife. It's
about forty years of age and can't have it for
fifteen bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:55:35):
But you're tight.

Speaker 17 (01:55:38):
You know.

Speaker 19 (01:55:38):
They did everything I want on the farm, and that
just getting possible.

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
Once Mark's got his knives. Do you want us to
click stickers for you?

Speaker 19 (01:55:46):
Nah? No, don't. I don't just for they just come
here bother. You better off going to one of those
places that like the places that sell to like uh
like for K three business right, really cheap knives, the
better quality in only for probably only one quarter of
the price.

Speaker 3 (01:56:05):
You're bet off making your own knives. You even made
a knife?

Speaker 19 (01:56:08):
No, I haven't, No, I know one one guy doesn't
make them. You can't make your own knives. And you
put handles and that's quite a hard process too.

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
Well, you know, well the thing is the smig ones
don't ever handle the handles part of the knife.

Speaker 19 (01:56:21):
Oh you know some of those ones are too. I
know you one of those catering ones out they're saying
they're all good quality knives. You know, you probably pay
maybe two or three hundred, three hundred dollars for a
good set of those knives. And yet you know, and
you're you're getting good quality, probably your lifetime guarantee as well.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
I reckon they'd be hot to get out of the dishwasher.

Speaker 19 (01:56:40):
Oh you wouldn't want to get those metal handles. Yeah, no,
you just just do this normal old process the dish
washers that are called in and you get a mate.

Speaker 3 (01:56:48):
When you Okay, So you don't want any want stickers,
Well I might.

Speaker 19 (01:56:51):
I don't go to you, or I'll go to in
and again, but I might start clicking. I'll give them
to somebody else. I don't want them. I got an idea.

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
You're a peg. You're a pick and save man, aren't you.
How's that working out for you? Because you because you've
got a bit triggered by the two dollars week ah.

Speaker 19 (01:57:03):
Remember that that's what that's from the mark. I go
to anyone who's just the peck and save countdown, or
you will whatever. I don't care.

Speaker 20 (01:57:11):
Along is it?

Speaker 19 (01:57:11):
Well, you know a bit of at the best discount,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
Uncle Dave's Uncle Daves, Hugle Bills.

Speaker 19 (01:57:19):
Bugle Bilds. I go to here sometimes, but yeah, that
stuff's quite cheap there day too. I don't sort of
go and make a special trip to.

Speaker 3 (01:57:25):
Go there, Uncle Bills. And your plymouth is good. The
easy parking, I think it's quite a good place to
go to.

Speaker 19 (01:57:30):
Oh yes, I get the odd things here, like tape
and stuff like that. I just did a wrapping on
trade me and then and I find the tapes are
quite reasonably priced there, because the tape is getting quite
expensive now looking at eight to ten bucks will roll
of tape there.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
You're still doing your training of your second hand guest bottle?
Is it what you sell?

Speaker 19 (01:57:47):

one of those. But right, it's slow downlevant now though
everybody's everybody's holding on their money.

Speaker 17 (01:57:58):
Yeah.
