Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Greetings, could even welcome Hittle twelve o'clock to like when
miss Marcus and I hope it's good where you are.
People are just driving to work tonight from the south.
It's extremely windy. It's one of those days. It's so
windy I expect probably people in camper vans and curtains
side of trucks could get blown sideways, so just be careful.
It quite where it's manifesting itself. It's be on the
Bluff Road, very windy, and probably on that road out

(00:34):
about Cluther. You just be mindful of that. I wouldn't
expect to say there's some sort of wind events, wind
related events to be The window has certainly been since
the big wind of the Big blow, the Big Blow
of twenty twenty five. So there are only updates and
weather updates and triving updates and update updates. I will
keep you posted for that throughout the course of the evening. Also,

(00:54):
though I've got rain fall, I have got the football
on New Zealand two nil up over Chile are about
fifty five US about eight, so certainly they are a
much better football team, although they are down to ten
and I don't know if that's a good thing for
a beat thing, but we're beating them too, no, which
is and people on some of the blogs I've been
reading say it's the best I've ever seen the all

(01:15):
whites play, So that's that's a positive. Barbarusis is the
star and they're a secured as placed to the World Cup,
so that's exciting. I don't know that Chile. I don't
know if I go to the World Cup in twenty
twenty six though, wrap fifty to fifty to fifty second
in the world, So there we go. That's a situation

(01:37):
with that. But I'll keep you updated with that. Just
halftime at the moment. So oh, eight hundred eighty tty
and nineteen ninety to teacher or start the whole ball
rolling tonight, Yeah, fear bit to talk about. Actually, I
just rattle out some topics tonight too, as long as
I get myself on my spot a bit more. But yeah,

(01:59):
if you do want to talk eight hundred and eighty Teddy,
if you've got breaking usually let's know that breaking users. Yes,
eight hundred at eighty ten, eighty and nine to nine
two to text if you do want to come through
a lot to talk about apparently I've heard on good
authority there has been I don't know if I should

(02:19):
say that's gonna want to actually get people freaked out.
It's very hard to buy Jerry Cans at the moment.
They've all sold out anyone following that story. So even
though we're not supposed to stockpile, people have stockpiled the
containers we're supposed to stockpile with. Your Chile is not
going to the World Cup from South America Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay,

(02:40):
but still a very good team going through a rebuilding stage.
So if you've been a boy Jerry Cans and this
apparently cake either for love nor money because you think
super cheap order. That's kind of their bread and butter,
isn't it. But no, no more. I don't know what
you want to say about that. I don't know if
you want to talk about stockpiling. The other thing I
will mention I have mentioned Jerry Can's the other thing
I will mention tonight because I know some of you
this will have been something that you will have been

(03:01):
passionate about did you watch the breakfast show this morning
with O'Brien as the host? How was that? Certainly not
of hype? Actual there wasn't much hype, but certainly there
was a lot of analysis today about that pounds she'd fairy.
Well you might have a comment on that. How you
thought she'd done. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine to text. It will be the Monday

(03:22):
free for all tonight. There's a lot to talk about,
so keep going if you do want to be a
part of it. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine two to text. That will keep you
as I'll keep you updated with the football as it happens.
Talking about laying dreams, I dreamt it was April Falls Day,
two days before it really is. But Wednesday we'll see

(03:44):
the minimum wage go up to twenty three ninety five
an hour, and it will see the key we fault
the default keyw fruit key with Kiwi fruit the default
key we save a quondrob. We should go to three
point five. Also, the Artemists two mission has gone to
launch this week, was delayed last month and also too
this month. In fact, on Sunday daylight saving does it

(04:05):
end or does its art So it's hard to know
what that way goes. So there you go. That's happening.
And this Friday is good Friday. You'll know that. And
Easter Sunday, something very special will happen. It's the first
Easter Sunday where there is going to be allowed commercials
on the TV and the radio. I don't know if

(04:27):
that's exciting, but the fact is this commercials all have
a Facebook and Google and YouTube's. It only seems fair.
And that's what's happening. So you get in touch. You
on to talk. Eight eighty nine detects a couple of
other things I wouldn't mind talking about today. I'll fly
the flag and see what sets, see what goes, see
what people do want to talk about. There's been some

(04:49):
discussion today about school photos. I got home and there
a whold of school photos on the table. I said this,
I said, I said, I said, I don't know why.
I said, I said something like photo, why do we
keep buying those? It's nice to have them. I've got
no interest in school photos. I've got no interest in
my old school photos. I've got known in the current

(05:10):
school photos. I can't believe in a day in the
days of digital photography, we still go ahead with them.
But I think they're just relying on parents thinking they
ought to buy them. I've had no idea how they
cost much they cost. But there's one of the class ones,
and there's framed ones of him individually sitting and smiling.
I guess the ones are good with all the people's
names on it, so you can refer that to conversations

(05:32):
and anecdotes from the classroom, But no idea how much
they cost. I'll be happier with a much cheaper digital
file that you could look at on your phone. But
there we go. Well, maybe a video. Why is it
supposed to be still? So yes, I thought that was interesting.
You might want to mention that talk about that eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. The other thing I have

(05:52):
been reading about today is nits and what they say
about nits at school is knits at school has been
one of the most hysterical paranoid things we've ever been through,
because basically it doesn't really matter, and they're very hard
to catch, and more often than not there are false
positive there's spotted knits when it's not really the occasion.

(06:12):
So the whole theme now is to be more chilled
out about nits because it's not really a problem. In fact,
in the classroom we're more paranoid about nits, and we
were about coronavirus, so you might want to talk about
that too. But anything goes as your show. Remember that,
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
to de text here till twelve, looking forward to what
you've got to say. So nits, yes, and school photos yes?

(06:37):
And the Good Morning Show or the Breakfast show? How
was that.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Good?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Bad? Or indifferent? Let me know about that if you
want to talk about that too, As I say, oh
eight hundred eighty ten eightyan nine two nine two detext
markus s till twelve. Feel free to be a part
of the show if you want to be that's your thing.
It'd be nice to hear from you. Short week of course, too,
with Easter coming up. Short week although it's a long
weekend in more than one way, because it's a long

(07:03):
weekend because of Easter, but it's also low because the
hour will be along. The weekend will be an hour
long with daylight savings because you turn the clock back,
so the hour the weekend is one hour along, which
I like because you wake up on the Sunday and thing,
oh gee, fuels later than that, and that's the miracle

(07:24):
that is daylight saving. Get in touch. You want to talk,
oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two.
If there's something else you want to mention too. I've
spoken about jerry cans and the run on those. I
don't know how you're going with your fuel panic, although
we're not supposed to panic, but a lot of chitter
chatter about that. I could recommend a battery lawnmow. They
work very well. Never go back to fuel. Why would

(07:48):
you be in touch if you've got the if you're
in the zone, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine two, detects with it till twelve.
Looking forward to what you've got to say, there's school photos. Marcus.
I bought and picked up three one thousand tanks from
a GUIDs down at Gore today to store diesel for
our trucks. He told me last Thursday he sold fifteen

(08:09):
of them. He's now sold another twenty sixth and Friday.
Farmers are getting desperate. What is he buy them for
out of gore? Out of interest? Is it break fluid Rod?
This is Marcus.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Welcome, good evening, did I Marcus? Great to hear you.
I've just turned off the speakerphone.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Knits.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
I'll tell you what, mate, Like, I'm pushing seventy this year,
and when I was in primary school and intermediate, we
never heard of knits.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well yeah, yeah, okay, you know.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
And so what I'm saying is, I don't know if
I either had knits.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Did you not have children? Did you not have children
in your class that suddenly came to school with no hair?

Speaker 6 (09:01):
No, I didn't, but I know my daughter of knits,
you know, with the grandchildren and everything. But yeah, it
was just something totally alien to me. Maybe I was
just lucky not to get knits. But you know, it's

(09:24):
interesting to hear that. You know, there's so much of it.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
About, Well, there's not much about. There's a lot of panic.
I think what happens is families get knits and they
don't know where they get them, but they shumant must
be from school. So they actually call up the school
and the teachers and they kick up bob'sy die and say, oh,
my goodness, graces me. It must have been from your school.
Someone's giving my kids knits and there's much shame and panic.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
I think you're right. I think there's a lot of
shame and panic there, you know.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
And look another thing and I'll throw it in there
like knits as a trojan horse.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
You're going to start playing Roger Wikt again.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Good on your rod. Thank you're eighteen past eight, eight
hundred and eighty Knits school. And the thing about it is,
I mean they're completely benign. There's nothing bad about them
when they are in your head and leave the eggs.
But apart from that, and they're slightly creepy, but yeah,
I mean, in the scheme of things, not a big deal.
Lines free watch the wind if you are on the
south twenty two past eight two Nilli's in over Chile.

(10:25):
Just one wman had gone on the second half. It's
wet there, it's wet here, Ben Marcus, welcome quickly.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
We had to shoot out and get some plane tickets
fairly quickly. This morning we fly out to Ossie to
morrow because the old man's on his death head, which
is yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got the dimension. Marcus and
so we knew it was coming, we just didn't expect
it to come soon. So, yeah, it's a tough one.
But I can't believe how much pain for it's a jump.

(10:52):
It's like me and my wife returned to Melbourne from
christ Church two grand. Wow, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
But you know you are you saying it's too grand
for both? Is it two grand for both of your return?

Speaker 8 (11:06):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (11:06):
So grand each return? Okay, so it's normally hobbs around
the eight hundred marks, it's definitely up. Yeah, yeah, he
just on nuts. So we've got a I've got a
daughter in daycare and one and intermediate and my wife
de suppised the one leader bottles of shampoo and puts
it mixes a little bit of tea tree you will

(11:27):
in them and and they just you know, use it
every every night when they wash the hair.

Speaker 9 (11:33):
And that never had nuts.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
You know, it goes through the daycare, through the school,
but they never get it.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Well, it goes through the day here if it actually does,
or that it's just paranoia.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Well you know, well, you know, every now and again
you get the email or some.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I reckon you probably should even be getting those emails
because they reckon. It's not that contagious. You've got to
be rubbing heads.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yeah, but they have to they have to let you know.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know when you got when you got other things though,
do they well, the.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
Child's being sick or child's got co or whatever. They
always let you know. You always can an email and
them books. Okay, So yeah, but no, no, no, it's
just we do it like that and we've never had
an issue with nuts.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Been nice to talk. Thanks for that, Calvinant's Marcus. Good evening,
very good evening.

Speaker 10 (12:22):
To you too, Marcus. I'm just looking at my October
nineteen fifty class school class photo.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (12:29):
So October ninety fifty, I would have been ninety years
old in the September that years old me nine years
one month. And I'm in the back row second. When
you look at the photos, say, look at the faces
towards you. I'm in the back row, second from the right,

(12:51):
and in the row in front of me, third from
the left is a chap Bill. You will have heard
of him, Sir William Gallagher, for goodness sake, Bill Gallagher.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Goodness.

Speaker 10 (13:07):
So so he became a knight and I became a
talkback caller.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
What is the electric fences.

Speaker 10 (13:19):
Yeah, the sheet metal firm I worked for for many years,
and many years ago I used to make the square
galvanize containing what the battery set in.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
And what Gallagher gallah have brought it out. When I
go to Auckland, we've got swipe cards that you go
on your phone and that's run by the Gallahad company.
So they've moved into kind of building security.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
Yeah, I don't know, well I have. I'm telling you, yes,
it could be a different No, it could be a
different Gallagher.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's the same ones I locked it up.

Speaker 10 (13:58):
Oh yeah, we'll good on you for doing that.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Have you Has he been at one of your school reunions?

Speaker 10 (14:05):
I don't know. I don't go to school reunions.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I thought there'd be a stock and I thought you'd
love a school reunion.

Speaker 10 (14:10):
No, I'd only go along to see the girls.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, well what didn't you?

Speaker 10 (14:15):
No, it couldn't be bothered fair enough.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
I just thought, I thought, how many people? How many
people in your class? Can you remember their names from
that photo?

Speaker 10 (14:24):
There's forty one in the class. It's a big class,
a big ninety fifty though.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I didn't no class. The teacher.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
We've had one of them we.

Speaker 10 (14:33):
Had, we'd had one week short of six years of war,
and everyone's all panicking now over nothing. Panicking. Not only
they start off panicking Bear couldn't get petrol. Now you
tell us that panicking because they can't get jerry cans,
which was a bit of a racist terminology too, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Well, I think it's yeah, I have talked about that,
the term jerry kens. I think probably we could do
it better. But no one's told me what the new
term is.

Speaker 10 (15:03):
No, no, But anyway, it's not of the names. See,
I know her name.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
One should be married now I should have a different name.

Speaker 10 (15:14):
Yeah, that's what I'd know one of them when I
left school and worked in office for four years before
I started gallivanting around in different other jobs. One one
girl here in the photo, she was in the office,
so she was my age, So she must have started

(15:36):
working here in the office, you know, just a little
bit before me. But yeah, it's good to see the
old color. Only I was going to say colored, the
old black and white photos.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Oh they're not colored. They're not being hand painted.

Speaker 10 (15:52):
And a little boy at each end of these roun
in front of me, bear feet, all the girls most
of the girls have got those Jim foxs on. They'd
be right, Yeah, what's schools and.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
What school is that? Calvin, in case it resonates with anyone.

Speaker 10 (16:11):
Well, I call it whitty Aura's school. Some people roll
their eyes and say, Calvin, it's not witty Aura's school.
It's a fitty order school. So I immediately say to them listening, Sunshine,
it was good enough for the ex co leader of
the Maori Party to call it witty Aura.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's good enough for me, who was the ex leader
of the Maori Party.

Speaker 10 (16:34):
Ex co leader. Yeah no, that's that narrows it down
and makes it easier for you to work out.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, okay, fair enough, Kelvin, thank you. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Jerry Cans named after the chamber pot. That's right. That's
the situation. They're get in touch if you want to.
When I was at school, I remember the teacher coming
around and checking the kids heads for nits. This would
be when we're at our school, at our desks, doing

(17:02):
our printing, just about the school photos. Don't no, I
don't want. I don't want to really go down the
whole nostalgia road. But I think probably, and it certainly
was an auctor if it was a nationwide thing. But
the guy that took the school photos, and I think
he was rigid, did I think he was legitimate? Great
one for nicknames. Make up a name for up, you
get bluesy. There you go Sandy up, and that seemed

(17:24):
to be the I'm sure he was to remember what
nick had a nickname for everyone that was as it
did it very well always and it was famous for
that whatever. Someone might tell me what his name was,
although it might have been everyone and had nicknames for
up you get lofty, there you get shorty, very very good.
And every year he'd cover, Oh what do you get
called this time? Often you get called the same name,
to which that was interesting. Two Nells still newsing up

(17:45):
over Chile. If there's a change, I'll tell you. If
there's not a change, i'll tell you. I'm getting the
texts now, have it on good authority Diesel at twelve
dollars a later by November. Now who were that good authority?
Because no one knows. This is like they just sened
COVID texts. We used to get even it's Marcus welcome
my button you're not going yes, sorry, I've got I've

(18:07):
got a very poor mouse for clicking, so I apologize
the titles Welcome Evidence, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
Good evening, and listeners.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's nice a few spare fuel.

Speaker 9 (18:17):
Containers here if there is a short supply, proper petrol ones.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
The plastic ones.

Speaker 9 (18:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, and for diesel you might need the myself.

Speaker 9 (18:30):
No, I can't afford to buy fuel mate for diesel.
You can just use oil containers anyway, because it's not
very explosive.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh what what's between the jerry can and oil container?

Speaker 9 (18:44):
Like you know, if you buy your twenty leaded drums
of oil. Oh yeah, you can use those as diesel
for diesel.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
When I heard people saying jerry cans, I just didn't
visish those red plastic things with the yellow nozzle. Is
it what they'd be talking about.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
Yeah, that's why I'm calling the petrol container. Okay, pro
proper petrol container. That's a high high grade plastic. But
for the deeds, or you can just use an oil container,
old twenty letter containers.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I feel at the end of this we're all going
to be experts on diesel and petrol and what's the
other thing that's been banned todayp nephah Did you hear
about that?

Speaker 9 (19:18):
Well, I'd say it's going to get really cheap so
in the off field because so much stockpile. It won't
be able to sell any to anybody because everybody will
all stop.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
You never know, that could be a thing. I doubt
if that well could be that well could be what's nephi?

Speaker 9 (19:31):
You never know?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Do you know what napther is? No naps in a
p T h A. Were sure of that at the moment,
just for making all plastics or something.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
Yeah, well, that's probably why they're sure of the fuel containers, because.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Of the plastic, the neptlix they need.

Speaker 9 (19:49):
They need to use some by product of the fuel, don't.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
They always always sat a naphthaline? Isn't that for mothballs?

Speaker 9 (19:58):
I'm not too sure. Out of my legue, mate.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
What's the weather doing?

Speaker 9 (20:02):
Oh? Finally a little bit of tameness.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Great befo, we want thank you even to I don't
know about naphthera and nephthine. I guess they're related. They
used for quite a pleasant spinning thing. Well, I think
it's what they use for moths. Get in touch Marcus
till twelve oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty
school photos Marcus useful not just driving your car with
one or more windows down caused the car to drag.
Therefore US ab extra fuel. Yes, yes, yes to all

(20:30):
of it. I would have mentioned so, I'd imagine the
aerodynamics are quite specific and quite special. Twenty six to nine,
we are up from ChIL A to nil. They're not
going to the World Cup. They failed to qualify there
in a rebuilding stage. But still they're well above us
and the qualifications well in the rankings, we're very lucky

(20:51):
to be at the World Cup. Well, that doesn't mean
that we're not going to do well, but still I
think we should count our lucky stars. Nts, NT stories,
Nick cures and school photos. If you watch the Breakfast
Show this morning, how you thought Tova had done? And
get in touch if you want to talk. Eight hundred
and eighty to eighty twenty six away from nine. By
the way, Queensland and Queensland they are banning scooters for

(21:14):
people under sixteen. What do you think about that? Always
hard to ban something, isn't it? When they are the
people haven't got their license so I don't know what
you want to say about that, But that's a situation.
That's a new story. That's just e bikes and e
scooter riders. Restricting the riding of e devices to over

(21:34):
sixteen with some form of transport license, restricting speed limits
to ten k's on footpath, twenty five k's everywhere else,
and new powers for police to seize and destroy. How
will you destroy them that explode when the other battery's
hard to put out? So yeah, I don't know what
you think about that. I think it's kind of a
bit of a stake, but that's what they are doing anyway,

(21:55):
that's a situation, then that's what they are doing. In Queensland,
I spent some time on an east I was spent
the weekend and where were we doneating quite good, very
successful softball tournament. Well tho the wind the weather wasn't
flash on the on the Sunday, But yeah, anyway, I
was actually I'm in the middle of town on Saturday
night and we're thousands going to the rear. I thought, gee,

(22:17):
what sort of the region there? That looks exciting? Everyone
dressed up, elderly people in fair coats. Beyon again of course,
but there you go. Of course it's beyond again twenty
two to nine, which i'd gone. Brett, Marcus welcome. This

I'm just calling about the ease shooters.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Sure, I'll put both these on for you. Good evening.
What do you want to say about that?

Speaker 9 (22:52):
So pretty much?

Speaker 11 (22:53):
I reckon, you know, one hundred sixteenth shouldn't pretty right there,
because I've actually owned one that I've fallen office and
you know, cause some serious but serious damaged.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Hawkins talk me through it.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
So pretty much.

Speaker 11 (23:10):
I was going down Central Wellington, right, I was behind
this bus. I was looking down at the speed, and
then the bus suddenly broke and I just went over
the handlebars and they go to hospital, and yeah, they
said that I internal damaged to my.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
What it was called ladder, I think was what ledder?

My letterer thought, yeah, that would have been your letder too, Okay,
was it a higher one?

Speaker 5 (23:41):
No, it was my own.

Speaker 12 (23:42):
It was like one of a.

Speaker 11 (23:45):
It was like a six hundred dollars one.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Do you have a helmet?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yep?

Speaker 12 (23:51):
I did.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
So you're looking down at the speed. You didn't notice
the truck? So did you hit the track or just stop? Research?
Jen on the pecks very quickly.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
Well, I actually had to break the very art and yeah,
the back wheel just started skinning out. Yeah, just slipped
over the handle.

Speaker 9 (24:10):
Bars pretty much.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
How was your weight because often wonder about the weight.
Was your weight? Well back over the wheel, like as beck,
as far as it could be.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
My waist.

Speaker 13 (24:20):
You wait, wait, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, did your bladder repair itself?

Speaker 11 (24:31):
Yes, said after a few months or so. Another skin.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Be quite painful. Did you throw it away?

Speaker 11 (24:41):
No, it's still of my spare room, even since that's
about two years ago.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Is it wrecked?

Speaker 11 (24:48):
Uh, you've got a few strikes on it.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, thanks Brett. Good to know. There we go. Should
we ban scooters? I don't think we've had me out
of sixteen's hurt themselves. What how would you know? And
the Marcus jury cans were invented by the Germans in
the thirties, hence the name. I think the word jerry
can comes because they look like a chamber pot. I

(25:11):
remember researching researching that Google Funny how we say research
with him in googling? Don't we So that's weird, isn't
it because that was kind of a disparaging term. But
like all scenes that, probably the derivation of is complicated. Yeah,
because the word jerry for a chamber pot was ribbed

(25:32):
design made it less prone to leaking. So it's a
kind of complicated derivation there. But thanks for Alan. Keep
your texts and calls coming through. Marcus, can you ask
if anyone can tell me if my old Morris Minor
is the better car to drive to save fuel? I'm
not sure if my memory of driving on four dollars
a week fuel means it'll be efficient today. Plus the

(25:56):
tiny fuel gauge gives the impression of it having a
full tank most of the time. Hoping someone knows the answer,
I could google it up for you, Well, Morris, so
it was at Morris Minor. They're pretty gutless. Well Morris
Minor fuel efficiency. Someone might ring up and know you
see him on the road occasionally. I can google that

(26:18):
for your people. Seven point eight liters for one hundred
k's nine four eight c C engine. I know it's
a good thing or a bad thing. I can't imagine
going back to the old cars would be a good
sign for distance, but get in touch seventeen to nine
of there's breaking news when that happens. Three nil news
in over Chile brings the best we've ever played. We

(26:41):
could win this World Cup. We could. We won't, but
it'd be good if we did. Yep, get in touch,
Marcus till twelve. As I say, oh, eight hundred and
eighty Teddy and nine nine has been a big instant
in Dunedin. Man armed with a knife threatened passer by.
There's one, two, three, four five police cars to that
one outside the Balmac pharmacy. So they set the negotiator

(27:04):
and a dog and a battering ram. An officer in
a battering ram and an axe. Well, he's got the
special ax on your scoop. It's a great shot of
the ax. Sixteen to nine. Get in touch, Hettel twelve
knits school photos. Marcus with the government to explain to
me how Brent crude has gone up by seventy percent
while dieseler's gone up by one fifty percent. There is

(27:27):
price gouging going on while the government's taking it in
via GST. I think it seems as though the whole
way you process petrol that the Dieseler's more sought after, Marcus,
and the regarding the nit nourse is titting up in
the classroom. We all knew who had kutus because you'd
stand by up riding stomp with the thorts in their
hands and held high to scrub them before coming back

(27:50):
to the next poor kid, Marcus. People holding fuelt at
home might want to look at their insurance policies. They
might not be covered. You don't know if that's true
or not. Marcus knappther is used in zippy light of fluid?
Oh yes, is that the stuff on the zip that
they were good though? That those containers of light of

(28:10):
fluid for the Zippo. It's sort of set like to
for Mica table and watch it burn but not really
burn fifteen to nine Hetel twelve thirteen to nine four
mill up you see and over Chile lock that in
Juliet's Marcus good Evening, Julie.

Speaker 14 (28:25):
La Kylda Marcus Cuda, Julie. I've just been lucky enough
to return from Queensland on holiday and from what I
could see over there, they have a bit of a
problem with the e bike e s scooters and young
people in particular riding in the groups and unfortunately they

(28:52):
don't seem to wear the helmets quite like they do
in New Zealand. Here I heard a stet on the
radio there that they've had over eight thousand injuries in
a year.

Speaker 15 (29:03):
Wow, a year.

Speaker 14 (29:05):
So I did think to myself, I can see why
the government are trying to do something about it. And
as a parent there, I would imagine that there are
a lot of parents that are quite happy that something
has happened because it backs them and gives them some
support to say, no, you're not going to have one
of those.

Speaker 16 (29:25):
Yeah, I think I want.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Have seen some. So are they own ones that look
like trail bikes and doing wheel stands and stuff?

Speaker 17 (29:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (29:32):
So those does.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Look it does look like fun.

Speaker 14 (29:36):
It does, and they go quite quick.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, if I was going to be all and I
mean that looks really exciting because it gives you independence too,
doesn't it?

Speaker 14 (29:45):
Absolutely? Absolutely? And they go you can go places.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
On it, and they go like the clappers. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (29:52):
And they have great walkways and shared pathways over there,
so you know you can go anywhere. But yeah I could.
And actually while I was there, there was a news
report two young men had gone under a bus on
the East scooters.

Speaker 17 (30:10):
And they were Yeah, they were.

Speaker 14 (30:14):
Renowned for the They were e bike scooter fanatics and
their social media was full of videos of them and
these poor things, yeah, went under a bus that had
was doing a U tune and not deliberately.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
They killed themselves today.

Speaker 14 (30:31):
No it wasn't. It was an accident, but ten meters
from one of the boys' homes.

Speaker 18 (30:38):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 14 (30:39):
Yeah, so I just thought, you know, I can kind
of see why the government had done that.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Are you moving there?

Speaker 14 (30:49):
I have thought about it. Yeah, there's a lot of
work there, a lot of growth and development.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
But development here.

Speaker 14 (31:01):
No, I know, but I like my new promise.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay, fair enough, you do your Julie nine away from
nine head on midnight. The amazing thing about the SoC
of the football. It's four nil and there's still about
twenty minutes left to go. So it's been a shellacking
of Chile. They are down to ten. But I don't
know if that we take that in an account or not,
but that's something be in touch if you want to
talk people. Seven away from nine my name is Marcus Good.

(31:26):
Evening school photos and knits and old cars and fuel efficiency,
a lot to talk about tonight. Get in touch if
you want to talk about these things.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Well there's a story that students have been left stranded
after Mardy Cup. Wow, I've got to take flights which
costs from extra five hundred per child. Well I'm sure
they managed that. Get in touch if you want to talk.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine to
take six away from nine, text calls, emails. What if
you got here till twelve? Looking forward to what you
want to say. There are whales at fung A matat tonight.

(31:59):
According to Facebook. Gee, everyone was badly behaved at the
at the beach hop about thirty arrests. The godness. We
thought there was a fairly benign and pleasant type event.
But there are orca right and close. Don't know what
they're going to strand, but they are really close. Wow,
nice looking Daia. No one's wearing shirts. It's pretty amazing

(32:22):
with the orca right in, like within three meters from
the foreshore. I don't think the stranding. Then it might
be chasing the stingrays, and I think that's what they do.
I'm not even sure if Orca's strand. Actually, I'm not
even sure of uca are whales. I think they're dolphins.
I know people for who you're so stupid, but I
think that's probably true. I see also to your spot
that in the weekend they're filmed the first berth one

(32:43):
of the first times are whales given birth. And of
course you gotta be careful because the because they're mammals,
in the young whale doesn't know how to swim. So
all the other people, all the other whales, not just
relatives or the pod come around and gather around to
help keep the baby orca upright so it can breathe

(33:05):
before it learns to swim, so it doesn't drown. I
never thought of that, but being a marine mammal probably
the birth process does have challenges. So yeah, it was fascinating.
They've already fooled one before, like what's the name for
baby whale? But they'll sort of keep that. I don't
know what sort of whales they were. They went orcers,
because they're not whales. I don't even know what the

(33:25):
name for baby whale is. A baby as a pup,
it's a calf. Of course it's a calf. Should I
know that? So if you just join us. The football
result four nil New Zealand. Yes, New Zealand over Chile.
They were scored in the last eight matches, so this
is extraordinary. Now he can't stop. It's always either feast
nor famine. Feast or famine. Get in touch if you've

(33:46):
got to be part of the show. Hit till midnight
tonight football's finished for one late gold to Chile pul
so the goalkeeper look furious because it left. Kind of yeah,
it was, unfortunately, it's fine. The crack crowd looker exteric.
If you are there, let us know how that match was.
If you watched on the TV. Wouldn't mind knowing like that?
I just also too at this time of the year,
are I like to keep an eye on the crew

(34:09):
the brink crew one sixteen one sixteen. So it's good.
The only way it's gone lere has been up. And
i'll tell you what the old market whisperer, Donald Trump
can't change. He's tried to say a few things, but
the market has not reacted. So that's the situation.

Speaker 19 (34:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
It's a dollar sixteen now. The biggest peak when it
went way up in twenty twenty two. That went to
a dollar nineteen, but only for a day, so it's
big stuff, big stuff. Get in touch without talking about
anything goes tonight, the football and knits and school photos,
anything you got, I'm there for it. People, Let you know.

(34:46):
Eight hundred and eighty nineteen Nineti's all the lines are
fred with something you want to a pine about tonight.
Be good to hear from you all. Keep you updated
with news also, people, first time we've ever bet a
South American country. That's not good, is it? We've got
a South American duck, that's what they're calling it in
the press. Might be worth going, Oh, I wouldn't be

(35:08):
worth going to America to find them. They'd be a testy,
a conference confidence and morale booster after a run of
seven losses and eight matches. Good crowd, fourteen point two
three nine fourteen thousand, that's a good crowd. You'd be
more than go to the blues. I'd say, yeah. Costa

(35:28):
barbarusis ended a forty year wait for a second goal
against a team from outside the Pacific. That's a complicated sentence,
but it's a fair one. What a great servant he's
been getting touch with God to talk about this or
anything else. Ten past nine. You might want to go
on about fuel anyway, get in touch if there's something
else you want to talk about. That's that's the plans.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Dan.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I did say jerry cans. People can't buy them for
love nor money. It led to some text discussion on
what actually jerry can is and why it's called a
jerry can if it's a defensive term. I think some
of people with a y. The jerry can was the
fact that it was folded over and they didn't leak.
It was a very good can, but of German engineering
it was pressed over, is pressed steel. There you go

(36:12):
be someone out there collecting them, no doubt. You know
how we are, Andrew, this is Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (36:17):
Yeah, here you go, mark out.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Ten out of ten. Andrew, good, thank you.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
Oh I'm currently don't worry.

Speaker 20 (36:23):
I'm on the hands free.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I don't care what people do with their phones. If
you're adults, you know whether you can drive or not.

Speaker 12 (36:31):
I always say yeah, But anyway, I'm driving a Diesel
Vegel and I'm actually just driving to work and it's
a forty k drive, so I do an eighty k
round trip and really not to see that diesel now

(36:51):
costs more than petrol.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Be there.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
How much does that costing you? Four hundred a week?

Speaker 12 (37:02):
Well, it's about six Andrew Chaine. Oh no, I'm not
going to even I'm not even thinking about the final price.
I have to pay it, right, But it does make
you about well, jeez, I know you're a rail fan.

(37:23):
This has a been a good time to think about
investment in passenger rail, wouldn't it.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
And I think that's what they've done in Auklord with
that city rail loop. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (37:34):
Yeah, well, hey, bring back the Southerner.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah. I don't think anyone can catch it. But thank you, Jason.
It's Marcus. Good evening, Hi Jason, Jason, just give him
a tickle up there.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, see what I see? What happened to m I
can't work out way I couldn't hear us or something.
But oh, eight hundred and eighties? How do anything to
add that you want to? You might have seen the football.
I'm a great fan of using and football when me
are doing well, having been there for the nineteen eighty
two camp or pretty well most of it. So yeah,
this is good. This is really good. That sounds like

(38:12):
a tough down the office for the team of Chile.
And we would be expecting a hiding like that for
one as a hiding. But if you've just seen that,
let us know how that was. Marcus. The year was
nineteen eighty the All whitespit Mexico in Auckland tonight. The
all Whites bit chill, Now did they really? Where was
that match at? I don't I'm not familiar with that one,

(38:33):
but I should have been All Whites Mexico nineteen eighty.
I'll just fact chicky on that one. Was it Newmarket
Park or was it overseas?

Speaker 19 (38:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Bill McKinley Park, Wow, all white watershed game. Goodness, the
match at Bill McKinley Park and nine days were widely
acknowledged the start of news in this ninety two World
Cup campaign. Yeah, Jason, Marcus good.

Speaker 15 (38:55):
Evening, Yeah, Hike said mate.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Yeah good Jason.

Speaker 15 (38:59):
Look what I just wanted to comments about is like
back in COVID and looked in twenty twenty they could
sell barrels of oil for any money. So the rich
people who manage to have storage facilities for all those
barrels of oil at zero money, imagine how much sort

(39:23):
of money those people made and are making. Yep, you
know it's just something to think about something in the
plan of scheme, how rich get richer off these sort
of things.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Yep, So just.

Speaker 15 (39:39):
Yeah, I just wanted to sort of make a little
bit of awareness there and maybe get people just to
think a little bit about that and the actual you know,
the way we live in capitalism. And okay, that's fair capitalism.
No one wants it. Someone wants it, you're going to
get it for free. But it's a valuable commodity. I

(40:02):
just wonder, you know how much backhanding into and firing
went between those sort of deals.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Really, So why would people stockpiling it during COVID because
it was free?

Speaker 15 (40:15):
Because it was free? Will you imagine a few stockpiled
it's millions of leaders of crude oil. It doesn't go
off and then you just wait for the price to
come up. Well, that's just like any other commodity.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
The cost of storage is pretty expensive, isn't it.

Speaker 15 (40:32):
That's true, But these sort of rich people have probably
got all that covered fairly simply. I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Just put.

Speaker 15 (40:40):
Yeah, just in the pool. Yeah, there'll work. So yeah,
I don't know. It was just something I thought of,
and it just sort of bugs me a little bit,
because like I wish I had somewhere to store those hundred,
you know, those free barrels of oil myself back.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Then, are you are you worried about diesel, Jason, I.

Speaker 15 (40:59):
Don't know enough about it to be really worried about diesel.
I haven't really looked into it enough milk to Marcus
to tell you the truth.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Have you got a diesel if your diesel or a
petrol car?

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Petrol?

Speaker 15 (41:11):
Okay, yeah, so I'm a couple of petrol cars. So no,
I haven't looked into diesel. I'm not sure about the
shelf life on diesel. I was talking to some about
it about it today. I may just still a little
bit of recess and just find out whether diesel has
a bit longer shelf life than petrol.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
I think it's got less of a shelf life because
it gets big. But I speaking of a guy yesterday,
he's got a lot of diesel stored. He's never had
a problem with it. It's never he's never got the bacteria. Yeah,
it seems circumstances.

Speaker 15 (41:40):
Yeah, yeah, with the petrel, it's not a bacteria, it's
just that loses this chemical with diesel. I do know
about the diesel bug in that. But I don't know
whether you can store diesel when it doesn't have any
detrimental effect on it apart from that it can catch
the diesel bug.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
You can put something in it to stop the bug too.

Speaker 15 (42:01):
Yeah, bounds to be, bounds to be, but yeah, I
just sort of just to make it to think about,
you know, these people who pay nothing for all their
oil back in twenty and twenty, and how many billions
and billions of dollars they kind of mean we're making
now because.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Not to talk Jason, thanks about seventeen past nine text
or call if you want to. Oh eight one hundred
and eighty to eighty nineteen ninety two to text. Of
course two Mexico is in North America. Yes, good point,
Thank you, Mirv. My neighbor has for Jerry Cans only
wants to fill one. So that's what we've done, had

(42:39):
to talk hard to get one filled. Marcus.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Good evening.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
With over one million people in Auckland, there shouldn't there
shouldn't have been more people at football tonight, you seeven
football really should have had these matches played in the
new christ Chich Stadium. Both matches would have sold out.
I don't think you're right there. I think people enjoy
watching sport at home and it as a friendly there's
nothing and that people like to frond up for matches

(43:02):
when it's a qualifier because you think that your support
is going to help them get along. That's my take
on that. Get in touch if you want to talk
hit til midnight tonight, fuel back back at you, fuel
knits photos. Why do they when is that? When are
they going to end up with the school photos? When
are they going to say that's enough of those? I
suppose when people stop buying them, we buy them as

(43:23):
parents because we think we're judy bound. I thought I
would have actually triggered some memories of the guy that
was the photographer on the schools and all that they
had a nickname for everyone famous, kind of a guy
like generationally famous. So you want to say something about
that would be good to hear from you. Eighteen past eight,
I see that the spin off have ranked the country's

(43:44):
best Easter eggs. No surprise is that Rainbow wasn't the top.
What about those sketchy ones from the warehouse. What do
they call dairy Dairy Valley or something?

Speaker 15 (43:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
No, the rainbow Mega The rainbow Mega eggs with the
yolk is up there, Queen and dark chocolate mint marsh
mellow easter egg. Fair enough looks classy. Nineteen past nine,
twenty one past nine. I don't know it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 21 (44:14):
Can you hear me, Marcus?

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah, copy, yep, got you out and clear?

Speaker 21 (44:17):
All right, I just want to touch on the base
of the old cutu stage.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
So funny. Where's that word from that? But yeah, I
sort of a couple of text about that.

Speaker 21 (44:31):
Mali's call it a cutous, okay, yeah, yeah, that's just
the way we were brought up. We were brought up
with kutus, not knits. But we did hear the English version,
the Queen's version.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Of out.

Speaker 9 (44:47):
Right now.

Speaker 21 (44:48):
At the end of the day, it was a touching here,
yes you could get that, but you didn't even have
to touch here. They could jumps as far as they wanted.
The old cutous. It was just like it's just like
the old Cubic crabs. You know, they'll just grow anywhere

(45:09):
they need to. But at the end of the day,
it's just part and parcel of life. You know. You
get you get scabs, you get huckey huckeys, you get
kotoos and you get down below ones. So it was

(45:30):
a parcel of up.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
How do you know they jumped the curtoos?

Speaker 21 (45:36):
Yeah, right, how they jumped was they jumped from a
duty here and uncleaned here to the clean here. It
wasn't just a matter of shaking here together.

Speaker 9 (45:47):
They did jump.

Speaker 7 (45:49):
So yeah, that's what I was brought.

Speaker 21 (45:51):
Up on and I'm sixty one now, so that's what
I was told from my parents, and that they can jump.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah, And I think what they're saying now is that
it is probably not the case that that's probably a
lot of it was just but you know, I don't
want to take away what people are saying, but I
think probably where okay.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Yeah, it was that.

Speaker 21 (46:14):
I just keep listening to what was getting to see.
And I've been told in knowing that they can jump.
It's not just the mixing of the year.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
So well, they jump like about a thousand times their body,
their length of their legs. They'd be pretty strong.

Speaker 21 (46:31):
WHOA, you're not touching each other, but they can jump.
It's but we can spreed will jump there. That's what
I've been told anyway from my parents.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
I look into that thank you keep your calls coming
through knits. I'll tell what does work for NS. I've emtdin.
But yeah, nineties was the golden time for knits because
there was also for Light's consultive and took of revery seriously.
But now people are more chilled out about it and
they reckon they're far less prevalent than many people suspected.

(47:04):
According to researchers, there's a lot of folk myth around it.
It says this is the experts says in general, contagion
happens with only direct head to head content or head
to head contact, and allows that falls out of a
kid at school will soon dry out, infecting no one else,
and it doesn't get transported by furniture or bedding. And

(47:29):
even if you find an empty eggsack, it doesn't mean
there's any great contagion. It could have been there for
a long time. A lot of false positives. Seas in
the US estimated that two thirds of all lives treatments
are given to childre who don't have an active infestation,
and false positives may add to as many twenty four
million lost days at school. Have you seen the new

(47:50):
Southern Cross TV? It has to be the most dumb
thing I've ever watched. Haven't seen it? Innocent of that,
we don't good to see many TV ads. Actually, the
only TV as I see occasional as during the worries
of that damn one with that family in the spar pool.
When's that going to conclude? Seems we flow, doesn't it.
They've been stuck on that forever. Maybe people have got
head lies confused with fleas, Marcus. I know for a

(48:16):
fact that head lies do not jump. I was a
public health nurse and used to treat them. I kept
someone to Jarrow on my desk and they lived for
ten days. With courier fees on the rise, With curier
fees on the rise, lightly, Timmu sales will fall and
local sales may increase, at least I hope that may eventuate.
Our retail's not coming back, Hey, Marcus, A Topo drilling

(48:38):
company approached by company they wanted to lease one of
our sixty thousand liter diesel storage tanks. Can see how
nervous they must be feeling. And everyone on the rig
is run using a diesel generators. Yeh, there's lot of
panic out there. We're still trying to find out the
name of the guy that came and took with the photo.
Someone said Bob Bradley. Someone said it was mister Flower.

(49:02):
Someone wants to know how we'll get our summer barbecue
going if there's no LPG. It's still happening. Your Hi, Pet,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (49:12):
Okay, Marcus, how are you going?

Speaker 16 (49:13):
Good?

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Pet?

Speaker 18 (49:15):
Uh?

Speaker 22 (49:16):
Well, I hope with the diesel shortage, these trucks a
run out of diesel and they won't be coming past
my place.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
What trucks to these pets.

Speaker 22 (49:23):
These eights trucks on Pope Terrace.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Remember you're in Cambridge.

Speaker 22 (49:29):
Yep, that's it.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
You got one of the heavy hitters. It the minister.
Who'd you get involved with? Oh the police guy, the
road policing guy.

Speaker 22 (49:37):
Oh yeah, Gilbert Williams. Yeah yeah, Well he put his
hands up and said that they weren't responsible for the
for the Cambridge Towermody Road in the end, but the mayor.
The mayor called a meeting and invited me to the
meeting and I met the police, the n z TA

(49:59):
and some of the roadmen from from the CANS Cambridge
Council and I presented the mayor with our petition one
hundred and fifty people signed and yes, so now they've
got to any accepted it. So now they've got to
have a special meeting the council and decide what they're

(50:19):
going to do about it. So we've got that far.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
It sounds great. Yeah, yeah, so it's not what they're
doing is not illegal.

Speaker 22 (50:29):
Yes it is, but none of them will admit it.
And the NZTA the executive was there, one of the
big boys, and I give him his email and said, well,
you know you've been lying to me. You keep saying
that you aren't responsible, but you are responsible, and the
council keeps saying that they're not responsible and that you're responsible.

(50:50):
So I said, it's good to see you all in
one room so that I can tell you what I
think of.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
You, just saying there, Pet, don't go anywhere. So Pet,
did you? Did you say to them that you think
it's illegal? And they said, no, it's not illegal.

Speaker 22 (51:06):
The NZTA maps show that it is a illegal. It's
illegal to be on Pope Terrace, but not on Cambridge
Road and that's where they're coming from, the logging trucks
and the supply chain trucks. And because they're taking that
shortcut and then the police said, oh yeah, but anyone
with a fifty tons sticker can go wherever they like.

(51:29):
They just keep telling me lies, and I said, you
just you just keep telling me lies. And I don't
think you know yourselves what's legal and what's not legal.
And I said, look at your maps, look at the
NZTA maps. It shows you that it's illegal. They just

(51:49):
try and keep putting you off and putting you off. Anyway,
the mayor has been a great help, and he invited
me to that meeting with them all, and I presented
them with the petition. The lady has PA said that
I couldn't present it because they didn't have a procedure.
So I went on to AI and found the procedure

(52:10):
and so when she stood up and said I can't
present it, I said, we'll just sit down because I can.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
And we have got with AI.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (52:18):
Yeah, And it says in the AI that once he
accepts the petition that he has got to call a
special council meeting and discuss the problem and figure it
out what's going to happen. So, yeah, we've got that far.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Where do you think the trucks can go?

Speaker 9 (52:39):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Where will the trucks go to not coming down your street.

Speaker 22 (52:43):
Well, they'll go through to the Airport Road, through to
and across to across from the Airport Road and across
to the motorway that way. It's only they're only coming
this way because it's a shortcut and and n ZTA
have had a.

Speaker 9 (53:01):
Bind eye towards it. I'm picking because the Cambridge.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
I can see Cambridge Road. Where's the Airport Road.

Speaker 22 (53:09):
It's past here, Mudu on the state highway. They meant
to stay on the State Highway and you go to
the Airport Road that crosses over to tam hery oh.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
You understand ye, So looks's an extra twenty k's okay, Well,
little chance of doing that with the price of diesel
through the roof that way, that's not going to be
any favor.

Speaker 22 (53:31):
Well, you know, it's it's less than this trucks coming
because of it.

Speaker 9 (53:36):
So that's good.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Why because they've actually listened to you?

Speaker 9 (53:40):
Well, I don't know. I think I think some firms have.

Speaker 22 (53:44):
But there are owner operators that just keep well, they
are under pressure and trying to make money too, aren't they.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
You know, how's your how's your peace of mind? Pet?

Speaker 9 (53:54):
I'm good. Yeah, three day, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Are you sleeping despite the trucks coming up and down
your road?

Speaker 22 (54:00):
Not really, And there's a lot of people that aren't,
and there's a lot of damage. My back or sunk
fell off its foundations last week with the shaking. And
Brian Hudson, the man from the cambridge, he's a road man.
He said, oh, that's impossible. I said, well, you come

(54:22):
and have a look, mate, You just come and have
a look at the damage. What it's doing to houses.
I said. My neighbors put in a new kitchen and
he can't close the wall because the joins and all
these plumbing keeps cracking and leaking. So you know, don't
tell me that the roads only will move one centimeter.
I said, it's like an earthquake.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Was it any people heckled during the meeting or shout
out anything?

Speaker 9 (54:45):
No, No, there was just.

Speaker 22 (54:48):
Just it was about ten people there, but all from yeah, yeah, yeah,
But I got the tradition petition presented to him anyway,
and the men is quite helpful. He wants to do
something about it. But you figure out that you vote
for a mayor. But it's a power structure below him
that runs place. Yeah, you know, he's like Donald Trump,

(55:09):
he's just the yes man. Yes, yeah, And they're the
ones that are doing all the stopping.

Speaker 7 (55:15):
It's not the mayor he's trying to It's.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Probably not even local. It's probably into TA responsible for
those road, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (55:22):
No, it's not.

Speaker 22 (55:23):
They are not responsible. Well they are and they aren't.
That's the whole thing is trying to figure out who
is responsible. Because they've got a speed camera out on
Cambridge Road. I said, well, why have you got inded
TA speed camera because they run those. Now, why have
you got your speed camera out there if you're not responsible?

(55:43):
And they won't give you answers, you know, And I said, well,
here's your email that you sent me to say that
you weren't responsible. You are only responsible for the state
highways and the council is responsible for the Cambridge Road.
So yeah, it's hard to get anything out of any
of them.

Speaker 9 (56:00):
Really.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Oh, goodluck and keep in touch.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
Bet.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
I appreciate you coming through twenty four away from ten
Hit Till Midnight. The other question I asked at the
beginning of the show was if anyone had watched the
Readig Breakfast Show this morning. How was that? If I
know some time people like to pass judgment or comment
on that. If you've got an opinion, let me know
if it's a considered Opinion'd be nice to hear from

(56:23):
your people. I could hear Wayne Brown talking about free
public transport through the fuel crisis. Might be an idea.
Seems to be a lot of discussion around public transport
and what that can do. Marcus driver, just go to
Bunnings to get the sausages.

Speaker 14 (56:41):
We'll know.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I went to Is it might have ten. They had
one of successful trips to minor ten. Had to get
a hose and the nozzle and had a pipe that
needed to be hose through work. Not often you go
and do one trip at all works out off and
you go, oh, hang on, that tap doesn't fit or something.
It was one of those one things. Oh yeah, it

(57:02):
worked very well for me that one. Where is find
it might have ten? They know because I went to
the woman, I said, I'm looking for such and such.
I won't say what it was, and she said down
Old fifty five, And I went to Old fifty five
that this is not the wrong aisle she's but it's
your spot on didn't even look at anything. She just
knew the store. I thought, wow, it's interesting. Might have
ten during the week, isn't it. It's like a full

(57:24):
of boomers one very practical and motivated buying stuff. But yeah,
no sausage sizzle. Last time I went there, I won
I hat. Didn't win a hat. That was their birthday,
the twenty first birthday, but not today. Get in touch
people who want to talk. Monea is Marcus, Good evening,
Good evening, Marcus. We're a farming business. I'm currently drilling
grass seat in one O two, currently using one thousand

(57:45):
liters a day with three practics, and we are currently
tripling our storage capacity from five thousand to fifteen hundred
and fifteen thousand liters. Well at leasing another storage tank.
It's just for fuel resilience and to keep fuel available.
So he's doing one thousand meters a day and he's

(58:05):
got fifteen days storage. Not much, is it a lot
of people. I suppose it was never any panic. You'd
never had to store because it was always going to
be a good supply. I'm not sure how we talk
about the stories and we count those ships that are
in transit. I suppose you're not going to turn around.
But I wouldn't take that as certain. Trump's now saying
they're going to actually fly in and get the uranium,

(58:26):
the enriched stuff, They'll fly it out. I guess special
Forces US officials say the stealth player would target me
a thousand pounds of uranium and either one or two
nuclear sites in the Tans and Isfahan. Well, the Russians
said they would take it. I think that was in
the negotiations last year. Must have changed their mind. Well,
that that'd be more practical, wouldn't it pretty hard operation

(58:48):
that one. The objective would be to remove the radiocre
substance entirely from a Rainian control, limiting any pathway to
when you could a weapon. The proposed remains under a
view and Trump has not signed off on it, but
officials told the Wall Street Journal here seriously because in
the option, even the advisors, even as advice, is one
of the dangers to American forces and the possibly of
a broader conflict. Gosh, I'm concerned now, I'm if you

(59:10):
look at the price of Brent crude again, it's been
five minutes, it's up one sixteen to twenty three. If
you watch the football match and coming home from that.
Let us know how that was a lot of people
talking about the Southern crossad. It beautiful. You know how
much the Southern Cross advertisement costs. No doubt the premiums
will go up a bit more. I don't know what

(59:30):
it was. Marcus, good, good evening, Marcus. Just if the
All Whites game four to one wins for Newseum much
better than Friday looking good for the World Cup. Quite
a lot of Chileans there. Your thoughts, Well, haven't really
got thoughts because I'm at working, couldn't watch the match
because I'm concentrating on the callers and the TV screen
had screen fade. When you say your thoughts, I'm not

(59:51):
quite sure if you want your thoughts on the effect
of a lot of Chilean's there or the game. But
there is quite a big South American community news and
boy do they turn up and one person makes the
noise for three. Whether they be Argentinians or Chilean's, they
are annoy the beast. Very good thing. They love their sport.
But if you didn't see the match, let us know
how that worked out for you, what that was like.

(01:00:13):
We're also talking about school photos. Is there any point
to them? Anymore. I don't even know why we take
while we buy school photos. I suppose we see them
to grandparents. That's what we do. Not my grandparents actually said, well,
we send them to the kids grandparents.

Speaker 19 (01:00:28):
It's right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
I weak that one out now I guess the way
it works. Yeah, Mike, this is Marcus. Welcome to the
air waves. Good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
How are you tonight, Marcus?

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
I'm good, Thank you, Mike. How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:00:39):
Yeah, great?

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Yeah, I was actually I wasn't thinking about talk back tonight,
and I was caught away with my own thoughts and things,
and I listened. I was listening to YouTube a song
by that band I don't know the eighties called Madness
and Our House in the Middle of Our Street. Great song, amazing,

(01:01:02):
and it just reminded me of you for some reason.
And I think that's because that sort of target audiences
like me as you know, who you like to chat
to and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Listen to remind you of the show, you know, the
song to risk the kids are playing, Mother's got a
date to keep you cunt hang around? But yeah, yeah,
and remind you of this okay, good, yeah, ever we
go okay yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
For some reason, I thought well, Marcus would appreciate that song,
because I do, and that's the sort of target audience
that I like to get involved with. But you're talking
about uranium just a little, little, tiny while back. But
I don't think there's any threat around the world with

(01:01:57):
uranium nuclear bombs, because sure, a few countries around the
world have nuclear weapons and it's just a big standoff
and the stalemate. But anyone, any country like Iran, if
they decided to send nuclear missiles around the world, it's
just a suicide job. And I don't think anyone We're

(01:02:21):
all safe. No one's going to do that. It's just
a suicide mission.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
And well, I think I think the common thoughts were
that the Arabians have said that they wouldn't mind using
those to bring the earth down.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
No, but you know, the fundamental of all life is survival,
and countries like Iran and anyone else from the world
they want to survive.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Well, we don't know that though, do we much debate
on whether they would use them or not.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
No, people want to live as long as they can.
I think we're all safe.

Speaker 9 (01:02:54):
Okay, Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
They do provide it to terrant to deter others from
using those weapons, So yeah, it's just a big standoff
and stale mate.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Sure, well, well hopefully we'll even know, but we might.
Of course, only one country they had yuks and got
rid of on that was South Africa, which always thinks
very interesting. Don't know why they wanted them. Oh maybe
they worried about the Russian throughout Africa. What thats to
be drilling grass seed for? That'd be just for farming land.
Will they be cropping anyway? Your farmers use a lot

(01:03:28):
of diesel thirty away from ten o'clock here, toll midnight,
ten away from a ten o'clock neel, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:03:37):
Gooday. So just to throw some light on that comment
from the last car, the possibility is that the own
States believe is that Iran might go while we're going down,
so attack this many people with us as possible. You'd say, yeah,
we had good news today. We wound up three grasshoppers

(01:03:58):
on the front porch. How long since you saw a grasshopper?

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Long time? Yeah, long time.

Speaker 13 (01:04:09):
And the funny thing is, even though the day they've
just been quite moist, shall we say, the crickets started
up in the front floor and not as me as usual.
But how long since we heard that?

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Long time? I don't know if I get me young,
I'm not if you're ware of many crickets down south,
but I don't know if we get them or not.

Speaker 13 (01:04:30):
Oh, it's a shame if you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
Oh yeah, absolutely, I.

Speaker 13 (01:04:35):
Mean that makes such a beautiful summer noise.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
You know why the crickets appeared there?

Speaker 23 (01:04:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:04:42):
We did have our lawn sort of adopted by the
sky called day then you know, you sort of resold
some patches and things as lots of product. Though it's
not that any sort of no message into it. It's
really nice sort of thing. It must have drawn them in.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Who knows it, you're dave?

Speaker 13 (01:05:01):
I know, No, no a contract I used to work for.
He does for free because I used to work for him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Oh that's good. Yeah, Petro Mora or battery moer petrol.
Oh yeah, I hope he's got a good supply.

Speaker 13 (01:05:23):
Yeah, that's the thing. We'll wonder instantly if worries wondering,
we'll get the pocket book. I wonder how this how
long it's going to last?

Speaker 19 (01:05:29):
Yep?

Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
No, good luck to you, Marcus. With you always you
run around quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
I think we'll last these fifty days. I think then
it'll be get tired. I think after these fifty days
it's going to get tight.

Speaker 13 (01:05:40):
Yeah. Yeah, well you make sure you're standing up for yourself.
Onto Marcus good on your nail.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Thank you kind guy nine from ten six point four
quake was just reported north of Cape rang one hundred case.
But now it's no longer on je and it must
be a ghost quake, although sometimes when that happens, something
else does come up, so I'll keep you posted on
that one. That's the quake six point four, but there
it's disappeared. So often that happens, it'll come up as

(01:06:05):
somewhere else. But if you've felt a quack, let me
know what that was. I'm not seeing one currently. It
says deleted. That says it was west of Auckland, So
I don't know what's happened with that doesn appear to
be a ghost quake. How are you going? People of
the football New Zealand One for one, this is the
first time ever we've beaten a South American team. I

(01:06:26):
don't know how many teams that New Zealand has beaten.
It wouldn't be many, it'd be some during the run
up to the Games in eighty two, and that would
be about it. I don't know what all our wins
have been over the years. It might have been a
seven point two quake of Vadawah two that was picked up.

(01:06:47):
Is that we've got confirmation of that. That's from the
any wiggly things.

Speaker 19 (01:06:53):
What have we.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Got tsudami check it said, the tsunami guy's going I
doubt it. I shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
I doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
I've got no idea. I take tsunami seriously. People I
see now down southeast saying if the Pusica trench goes,
we'll get no warning for the tsunami that's coming into
the harbor. So it might be sleeping with the khr
keys in the car again for the quick evacuation. Always
worried about that. Get in touch if you on a
texted email. Marcus. I watched the post cabinet press conference today.

(01:07:24):
I think Nicola and Luxon have finally read the room
and realized we're in trouble, especially our diesel supply. The
mood was verydifferent to previous press conferences regards the Iron crisis.
Curder Marcus, regarding this morning's interview with mister Luxon, I
did not hear the beginning of a show tonight, so
I'm not sure why you were asked about the interview. However,
I thought the interview was really good, probing, challenging, moving

(01:07:46):
on at a good pace. I hadn't seen her before,
but she did not seem inexperienced at all. She seemed
really confident and professional. I think this was Tovah O'Brien
on Breakfast TV today. It goes on. I did not
see the very beginning that everybody did see the end.
It seemed to be the mister Luxon punished by saying
to her, were it's the effect of speech marks have

(01:08:08):
a good day at school speech or something like that.
If I heard that correctly. If there was any reference
to school, that sounds like a slur by the promise
of talking down to patronizing. Oh, I think it was
a juger having fun about the me in the first
day of school. Poki Arriiki in New Plymouth has all
the school photos from the Bernard's Woods studio from the
nineteen fifties to the nineteen nineties. Thank you if you're
at the football or got anything to comment about that too.

(01:08:30):
I'd like to know how that was good crowd there,
first time we've beaten a South American country at football.
Although I think we beat them because they were down.
Can we say that? I think we beat them because
they're down to ten men because someone said, got is
that still a victory if they're down to ten? I
wonder about that sometimes. I think got two yellows, seven

(01:08:50):
past ten. Good evening, All welcome. I hope there's night's
going well for you. If you want to be in
touch with the show, if you want to be on
the show, I'll be hittled. Twelve romance at midnight. People.
A long weekend coming up in two ways, long because
now a lot getting along because it's holidays. Looking forward

(01:09:10):
to that. Ben ats, Marcus, good.

Speaker 20 (01:09:12):
Evening, Good evening, Marcus, howell you good?

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
How's yourself?

Speaker 20 (01:09:18):
Yeah good good, Just finished a long shift but ready
to go home. Just really Regarding the interview this morning
on TV with the Permanent.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Yeah sure I didn't see it, but tell me more.

Speaker 20 (01:09:33):
What I find with Christmas luxon and I continuously try
and watch him or listen to him on the radio
and just try and bear with him to see what
he is trying to say. But I think on the
Tovah interview this morning, he is at the point where
that no matter what he is trying to answer, he
doesn't actually answer a question and he just ends up

(01:09:55):
into this big CEO type of you know talk. I
also believe that Hoobah really held back a bit from
previous interviews that she's done with him. She's really he
pressed them, but I just feel like I didn't go
anywhere like the questions that she asked, some he answered,
but he just went on that classic you know what

(01:10:16):
I'd say to you is or he just went into
the CEO talk And I really think that knock on
the nail when he said I am a CEO instead
of I am a Prime minister.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Yeah, he said I am a CEO and she said, no,
you're not, you're the prime minister. Though it was quite interesting.

Speaker 20 (01:10:29):
Yeah, And like I do come from a family of
you know, national voters, but you know, like they are
also starting to just get sick of this. You know,
you don't even know what he's saying. When he's trying
to explain something, he's not really actually explaining the subject.
And you know, even though like I'm not a national voter.
I didn't actually know who to vote for at this point,

(01:10:51):
but I couldn't personally see myself or my family members
voting for National just for the fact that they don't
actually know what they stand for at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
I think there's also a problem with both prime ministers
and the interview is I think it's happening on Australia
to with Alban Easy. You know, they like to do
their life. They go on the music station to do
the light interviews, the blokey ones, to show what they're
to show how much personality they've got, rather than talking
about the matters at hand. So it all becomes a
bit folky and and I don't think it serves anyone.

Speaker 9 (01:11:23):
No, and you're you're.

Speaker 20 (01:11:24):
One hundred and to this day, like why hasn't he
gone on to the show with Jack Kaine.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Well, that's where the hard questions would be.

Speaker 20 (01:11:32):
Yeah, exactly. So that's where I think I think we
could agree that Tobah could have definitely pushed that interview
way more further than she did, but she didn't because
you know, it's his first actual interview on TV for
a while now. In regards to a questionnaire and there's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Probably always the risk if you give them a grilling
and they won't come back because they appear to be
precious these days, and you know, then you'll lose the
then you'll lose your Monday interview where it probably drives
ont of the news content off that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
Yeah, that's I'll agree.

Speaker 20 (01:12:02):
But at the same time, if you're a prime minister,
you know, definitely from so we have two of them,
you need to be there to answer those hard questions.
And you know, how long can we keep on complaining
about the current government. I'm not sticking up sorry for
the previous government. I'm not sticking up for the previous government.
But with any job that you step into, if you

(01:12:24):
become a leader or a high manager, if you continuously
blame the previous manager, you'll get let go straight away.
You're told, let's focus on now, let's move forward. But
at the moment, we just keep on hearing COVID, this, COVID,
that previous government, that previous government. It's like, okay, we
get you, but let's move forward. Let's think about now

(01:12:45):
and if.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
You just nice to talk, Ben, Thanks so much to
eleven past ten oh eight hundred and eighty ten. Also
tonight talking about school photos and knits. Why do we
still have school photos when no one has photos of
anything till digital files must be good money. I don't
even ask. I don't even know how much school photo
I don't know if it's a lucrative industry or not.

(01:13:07):
You never see someone on the rich list that made
their money out of school photos? Do you oils?

Speaker 24 (01:13:12):
Down?

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
One?

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Fifteen? Down from one to sixteen? Keep it going if
you do want to talk head or twelve. I've not
looking forward to your calls. Eight hundred and eighty eighty.
You've been at the football ets know how that match was.
I don't know. What I don't know is how many
of the all whites will be the people that will
play in the tournament in the United States and Canada

(01:13:34):
and Mexico, because obviously Chris Woods and some of the
the EPL aren't available. But you might know about that.
Janets Marcus good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:13:44):
Oh hi Marcus? Who was that previous call?

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
What would does the name matter to you?

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Pardon you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Who was their name?

Speaker 16 (01:13:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Ben Ben Ben Ben?

Speaker 16 (01:14:00):
I agree with everything he said.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
Had you watched did you watched the show this morning?

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:14:08):
No, no, I wish I had.

Speaker 21 (01:14:13):
Now.

Speaker 16 (01:14:14):
It's funny how things can be in a major mess
and going left instead of right, and up instead of
down and by sessa, and there's very little you can
do about a lot of it. Stressing out and worrying
about all of it doesn't get you anywhere. So I

(01:14:34):
just I'm eating it all go and so thinking about
school photos, I have still got all my school photos
in an album, and for each year I can say
which boy was my boyfriend? Wow, and the primer one

(01:14:57):
and two he was either Indian or Greek, but absolutely gorgeous.
And he and I had a big incident at the
school pool, and our teacher told us all to get
into our dogs and wait beside the pool. She had

(01:15:18):
to go off and get all the flutterboards. And this
little Chinese boy who ended up being the mayor of.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
Grisbon, Oh yeah, okay, I'm here and go yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:15:31):
He thought he'd jump in the pool. And here he
was floundering about and Nellie crowning and this great boy
and me jumped in the pool and pulled him to
the side and saved him. And you know that teacher
came back and found the three of us in the pool.

(01:15:53):
Didn't know why, and she gave us a real telling
off and little ditch. We didn't say anything about why
we were so innocent and why who the blame should
have gone to. But you know, I always remember that,
and that's why I like my school photos. And we

(01:16:14):
shifted so much. I can say who all my friends
were still with men, role in names and all the
way through. And that's because of the horst photos reminding me,
and a lot of the photos have got the children's
names on the pack.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Oh that's what you're doing.

Speaker 16 (01:16:38):
Yeah, wonderful history and bring this back lots of wonderful memory.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Nice to hear from you, Jen, Thank you for that.
Pulling as Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:16:47):
Good evening, Hello Marcus Photos. I was sitting in the
sun on the back porch two days ago with an
enormous bag of photos going back to black and white
ones of when the Roxbord Dam was bang built, school photos.
And I looked at the school photos and I thought, Gee,

(01:17:10):
this is what my sisters looked like all those years ago.
How we change and parents and great hearts and looking back.
And I had a fabulous afternoon looking through all this.
I couldn't throw any away. I just wanted to keep
the lot, so I put the whole bag back in
the spare room. Again. It just gives you so much pleasure,

(01:17:33):
particularly if you don't have all that modern technology, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
It's weird because actually, when i'm were the photos you're
looking at, were they photos of the class or actually
photos taken at your school?

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:17:50):
They were outside the classroom.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
Yeah, at school they're better because that's the thing you
look at. Old photos are amazing that you look at
class photos. There's not much to them because it's just
all the kids sitting sort of in the uniform, restrained.

Speaker 25 (01:18:04):
I'm in the seventies and I've got a photo of me,
black and white, sitting at a desk holding a pencil,
looking like I'm writing something and smiling at the camera,
and I thought, gosh, I look like an innocent little sweetie.
Then you know, busy, busy, But it was posed. But
most of the photos I've got of school photos are

(01:18:26):
outside the buildings and big groups, and it's lovely to
look back at them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Yeah, I kind of thing. In some ways, with classifiers,
it probably better off to get someone to go along
and just take general photos rather than all those posts ones,
it'd probably be more interesting.

Speaker 25 (01:18:40):
Although I think way back in the fifties, you know
that was the soil oft thing that was a posed
thing with a pen.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Yeah, or in front of the in front of the globe.
That was a big one, wasn't it.

Speaker 23 (01:18:50):
Hmm?

Speaker 25 (01:18:50):
Yeah, But thank you for your show. It's a great topic,
Marcus Welly.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
Nice to talk. Thank you. Seventeen past ten, the discussion
was school photos and what's the point of them because
once by a time in the fifties and the sixties
and the seventies, maybe you'd be given those options. You'd
take them home and see if you want to buy them,
and of course you'd forget where they were and you
had to take the money in the end. But yeah,
of no use. And they never looked like children. There

(01:19:19):
were some lot of your children restrained and were sort
of folding their arms. But anyway, and whyn't they just
a file they're sent to your phone, they'd be more useful.
So we are talking about that tonight and the football.
If you were there for one New Zealand against Chile
that was to New Zealand, that was an extraordinary result.
People say, who're taking the d's leaving more seriously today

(01:19:40):
they record we're going to a level two next week.
But all the discussions about contractors trying to buy tankers, tanks, tanks,
tanks and tankers for fuel because everyone's realizing how much
they will need and how unavailable it might come. Because too,
not only have they shut down the Straight of Hormuz,

(01:20:06):
there's now talk that the utes might block the Suez
Canal or the sea that's going up to the Suez Canal.
It's how we learn geography, isn't it. So yeah, you
might want to talk about that. Also, I don't know
why the Hooties waited till now do they got going?
But that's what's happening. And ships, so where do they

(01:20:29):
fire it off? Just look at them. It's quite narrow there,
isn't it. The Gulf of Aden looks like it's about
twenty k's across there. It's probably easy to block that off,
and it would be the straight to Hermuz. She's two
pinch points and they shut both of those down because
of course what was happening now The Saudias were banging

(01:20:50):
all though, all in the pipeline across, but now they
shut the Red Sea. Get in touch if you want
took this for anything else? And also school photos. That
was the discussion tonight, or one of them, one of
the many being if you've got anything to add eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty text if you want to

(01:21:11):
nine to nine two. By the way, they are banning
e st scooters for those under sixteen in Queensland, and
there are a lot of the fuss about headline was
all hysteria and actually they weren't such a big problem
after all. But Iver E. Mettin works funny enough, Peter,
it's Marcus. Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:21:31):
Well the puties, as you say on board, and we
don't know. We would imagine that the Americans didn't do
very well because they left the area after I think
was six months. New Zealand was what are we against
they left?

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
The Americans left, We're sorry.

Speaker 26 (01:21:51):
All they were trying to get rid of the hooties
in there. Oh yes, aircraft carrier and stuff because they
were being hit by the hooties. So you know, it's
just a bit like Russia with all these drones that
come from Ukraine that go to Moscow and the oil
facilities and inside Russian territory, you know, for the US
to say that they can open the strait is a

(01:22:14):
bit like fighting against thunder, so I don't think that's
going to happen. And around you charging tolls now they
go through and people think there's a lot more to
it than one can imagine. For example, when Iran's gas
infrastructure was bombed, the benefit from Iran bombing the Katari

(01:22:40):
gas exercise apparently is America. So one wonders, you know
who's got the agenda and whose benefiting. And America does
not have all the crew that it uses, so apparently
it's a net importer of crude, so Americans will be
hating the pockets at the pump. And of course, since

(01:23:03):
financial the regulation, if you like some people you know
don't even have five hundred dollars for emergency, so being
able to pay the extra fuel price to commute to
work as a big arsk, even in this country, if
you've got a long commute and no other choices.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
Do you think I think do you think the ground
troops will go? And Pete, do they be terrifying to
be a ground trip, wouldn't to be a marine?

Speaker 26 (01:23:28):
Well, I think it's part of the Hollywood script that
the president of the US likes to do. Allegedly, the
ground troops landing in Kuwait have already been attacked. I
don't know if any have been injured or dead, but
that's apparently the thing. And apparently some of their aircraft
in American aircraft in Saudi Arabia have been attacked. So

(01:23:51):
the thing is that, you know, when you look at
the bases in Iran has said we want reparations and
we want America to leave. Well, America is leaving some
parts of Iraq, and America was there with the bank
account that they had to get approval from America for
oil revenues. And so the Kurds area where the bases

(01:24:13):
in Iraq, apparently that is still there. That they haven't
left that area. So America called Iran bluff basically, and
the faith and consequences have been asked to remove themselves
from the Middle East. And I think that the US
will remove themselves from the Middle East, but you don't

(01:24:36):
know how long. It's rather humiliating, but you know, they
did remove their aircraft carriers away, and of course they
left fat Nam. And as people say about America, what
they normally do is they leave, Well, they left Afghanistan.
They left fat Nam, and they are still in South
Korea and are still in Germany after World War Two,

(01:24:58):
and they've got bases in Europe, so they might be
leaving there as well. And of course they're in Japan
as well. So Erica with the increased expenditure for military
is absolutely very very high in the military. As I mentioned,
it does use a lot of fuel, so I don't
think you know this is going to affect China with

(01:25:21):
regret regards to gas, and China might need some gas
from America, but helium for getting your MRI done in
those machines, so a lot of other things besides fuel.
With the supply chains, there's probably five years before things
go back.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Okay, I'll live with there. Peter's a lot to unpick
there too, but thank you. Five years. It's I think
probably a fairy telling prediction. Crusowits Marcus good.

Speaker 18 (01:25:47):
Evening, Jimmy macus That last corner caller was well informed.
I just tuned in and I thought i'd give you
a call. I was thinking as soon as you said
that tradees have been stocking up on diesel. I was
thinking halfway through building tree hut at the moment, so

(01:26:07):
might have to just postpone closing Adam and just whack
whacking old oilbears are up there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Here's a bit to ue picked from that. Are you're
moving into the tree hut ahna.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Just for the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
Oh yeah, so why would you put why'd you put
a diesel bowser up there?

Speaker 18 (01:26:28):
Well you've got it on tap, you know, Yeah, fair enough, Okay,
you can hide it up there too.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
God on your cruise. I thank you. Twenty eight ten,
twenty eight welcome people, Marcus headline. Head lice had problems
back with my children was over it, so mixed kerosene
with conditioner.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Worked.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
We have a spind all day, worrying that the head
may catch fire. It didn't. Never got head lice again.
The whole world scruddle causes food shortage, no fertilizer, no
truck supplying the supermarkets, wearing bruces is Marcus welcome?

Speaker 5 (01:26:59):
Yeah, good day, Marcus. Just listening to your conversation about
these school photos. Yeah we we we all remember the
day when we were marched in there and sat down
on the on the seat, some fat, some stood and
got on the highest, highest in the middle, tallest in
the middle, the lowest on the side. That still happens today,
but it's generally sporting teams. But the reason they take

(01:27:23):
school photos is they have professional photographers that come in
and it's essentially to photograph every student in the school.
Every student has a file with their details. It's called
KAMA and New Zealand schools operate on that on that database,
so you can pull up every student and in the

(01:27:44):
file is the photo. And that's why they have photos.
The professional photographers come in and they'll individually photograph everything.

Speaker 27 (01:27:55):
Administrative requirement well if not the well it is it
is because you need a photograph of every student and
then after that it's an after thought to then photograph
groups of classes if they if the school choosers.

Speaker 5 (01:28:11):
Or sporting teams, or school leaders or achievers. But the
essential part of school photos is they have every student
photographed identified.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
Why do they need that? Why do they need that
in case they go missing or what?

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
No, So with relievers that come in able to log
into the system are given what's called a manual role.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Okay, I've got to leave it there, Bruce, but thank you.
That makes it that makes I found that really interesting
what you said. Then I talk at schoo photos. I'll
be curious if you want to remember the name of
the school photography is to be around Auckland. Would it's
sort of a how would you describe if he was
sort of a jolly old chap that sort of here
is a very specific patois with the names for every child.

(01:29:00):
Hope you get Sandy, there you go, Chalky. It's good
you want to talk about that. Get in touch, mister Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:29:07):
Welcome high Mattis. It was mister Timpanee.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Oh was it really? Do you know that?

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:29:12):
I listened to you.

Speaker 28 (01:29:13):
I know it's funny. I remember, I remember. I know
exactly who you're talking about, because he was a funny man.
And he us say and years ago you there you go,
then other rubber and he wouldn't put out with any
nonsense because like this was in the late sixties seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
Now where are you?

Speaker 1 (01:29:30):
Where are you? Not not now, but where are you
in the success which.

Speaker 28 (01:29:34):
Well I went to Forest Hill Primary.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
School in Auckland, yes I was, yeah, and he did
intermediate and he did high school as well.

Speaker 28 (01:29:46):
I remember. But when we yeah, because I remember at
forest till we did it as well. But the funny
thing was one of my favorite ones was when we
were in Standard four, which was year six. Our teacher
at the time, mister Fray that he was a famous teacher.
He actually got all the girls to come and sit
outside and you know, we had those little wooden seats

(01:30:07):
outside the classroom, that one that went the whole net
of the outside the cashroom. So all the girls, some
of them sat on the seats and some said on
the front. They took a photo of us. It's all
just at the end of the year, and it was
a colored photo and I still had that and it
was just a relaxed photo of all of us girls
and it's just one of my precious school photo memories.

(01:30:29):
And I remember all the girls and all their names,
and even some of them still I still keep in
contact with because this primary school, we had a created
a Facebook group. One of the girls did, and so
we got together at Lake in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,
and it was like all the kids that lived in
Forest Hill and they went to Forest Hill Primary and

(01:30:50):
we all got together and it was just a huge reunion.
It was fabulous, and so it was just it's just
the nicest thing ever. And I'm sixty nearly sixty four now,
but I've still got that precious memory. So you know,
I love having school.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
And I think you and how did that? It was,
mister timpany, because.

Speaker 28 (01:31:10):
You has just got I just got a good memory, okay, yeah, yeah,
so yeah, and he was a little many.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Yeah I was friendly. Trying to look for a shot
now of him, Oh.

Speaker 28 (01:31:25):
Yeah, because he was quite annoying, I thought as well
because of the way he bullied bullied us kids.

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
Well, of course, for a start, that will line you
up and you'd be the smallest, so you know, and
the smallest you'd be sort of cross legged in the front,
which was never a thing you wanted to do, but
anyway it was.

Speaker 28 (01:31:41):
And all the short boys are up the.

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Back, sometimes at the back, sometimes at the front, seated
cross legged. But yeah, I'm hearing you.

Speaker 28 (01:31:48):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's a great time thing to talk about.
I just it was great because there is a there's
a Facebook page as well, and all the kids they
put all these old school photos on and they try
and reconnect with people that they went to school with
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
So's I couldn't getting worse.

Speaker 28 (01:32:09):
And you look at some people and you go, oh,
dodge the bullet there. You know, when you see an
older person that you went to school with, it was like,
oh my goodness, it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
Looks so old. It looks so old, don't we I know?
Dep So thank you for that. Oh eight hundred and eighty.
It was something very interesting happened with that call down.
She wasn't moved across, but she still went to air.

Speaker 4 (01:32:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
Did you know you can actually still click on them?
They still go on? So why do we move them across? Okay,
never done that, and all my days, I've never done
that before. I thought Chip is cruby, she's not on.
How are your people? What's happening? School photographer? Mister timpany?
Have I got that one right?

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
If you do the whole of walking gramary schools, would
there be it'd be one day per school.

Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
You do.

Speaker 29 (01:32:52):
Five schools a week, you do forty weeks, you do
two hundred schools. Oh where was the kids that are
sick on photography?

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
I think they put them in any blowfish in the
red Sea, then you'd have a hootie and the blowfish.
Very good. Glenn Marc's I only talked for a handful
of years, but those few years, I took many photographs
of children in the classroom. The purpose was to catch
the children have been good and became a good behavioral controls.
The children want to be caught, they had to have
been good. This was particularly helpful with those children whose
classroom behavior was not always on task. It was great

(01:33:26):
to capture the good moments and the spade on the
walls and see the pride the children exhibited. When reviewing them.
Parents often asked for copies. Get in touch Kitty Armas
enjoyed Peter, Thank you, Kitty Arma, Oh and knits. A
lot of people trying at the Hootie and the blowfish jokes.
Of course he went on. He went solo on mister

(01:33:47):
Hooti and the ended wagon Wheel twenty four to eleven
head on Midnight Man of Miss Marcus Good Evening. Oh now, no,
no supporters from mister Timpanye that was his name. But
we are looking for that because I presume every scene
I had a school photographer that was sort of silly famous.
Have I got that one right that you did? Everyone say,

(01:34:07):
oh y, here's a character. Would it be an easy job? Probably?
Though hard to get a photograph when everyone was looking good.
How would you do that? And why do we still
bother with her? That's what we are talking about tonight.
If you want to partake good also tonight. Anything else
you want to mention, but school for school, photographs of
the start and Benning, the scooters in Queensland, scooters and

(01:34:32):
e bikes for the under sticking. You need to have
a license basically because a lot of those e bikes
now are just like trail bikes. They're quite good, quick
and fun by looks of things. Headlights is a topic also,
but get in touch. If you saw the football day
either on TV or an Eden Pactley doesn't know how
that was. Ninety one percent of football fans say football

(01:34:55):
is better without v v a R. That's like going upstairs. Yep.
Well when I say going upstairs going to the umpire
the video if I should call it, they call it VAAR.
Good on them. Get in touches what we're on. Twenty
away from eleven now, I just check if there's any

(01:35:18):
word on a tsunami from Vanua two. There was a
ghost quake showed up in New Zealand Van two. Ghost.
I'm not ghost quake, tsunami tsunami. I'm not seeing any
reports there that I can see. But yeah, if you
want to be a dead lines free their people. Which

(01:35:41):
one's now an expert on geopolitics, Marcus, I remember my
sister aged six, having nits after combing the queen out. Queen,
I use the magnifying glass. Mate. Oh yeah, there we
go anyway, and I'll keep you updated. As I say,
from news around the world and around the country nineteen
to eleven. I always had a feeling that guy was
still alive that shot those cops. Now in Britain there's

(01:36:05):
big headline diesel shortages within weeks, as experts worn, energy
shock will be worse than the nineteen seventies. That's the UK.
That's how the Daily Mail are painting it. Kirs Stam
and Rachel Reaves a holding crisis talks amids mounting fear
over the looming impact from the Iran war. So they're
drawing up contingencies but telling the British people to continue

(01:36:29):
as normal. Yeah. A leading shipping expert pointed out that
the world was far more interlinked at the time of
the notorious nineteen seventies energy shocks. They suggested shortage are
fertilizer could send food prices spiraling. I presume that's spiraling
up and could cause political turmoil in poorer countries. Meanwhile,

(01:36:50):
Donald Trump says considering a military operation to seize carg Island,
although saying maybe we take carg Island, maybe we won't
geez unsufferable the way he talks eighteen to eleven. If
you want to be a part of it. People are
saying it's free hard to get any form of storage
petrol and diesel in New Zealand, whether it be giant
tankers or small jerry cans. It's at one point fifteen

(01:37:13):
at the moment, the Brent crude seventeen to eleven. Fifteen
to eleven. By the way, too long weekend and two
ways this weekend because we've got Friday and Monday off
and Tuesday, if you are in invert cargol for South
an anniversary day. And also it's a long weekend because
the weekend is longer an hour longer because of daylight savings.
It's happens, finishes or starts this weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:37:36):
Wo.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
I quite like the fact that's happening within the middle
of Easter. I think this is a perfect time for Easter.
And then you're back and then you come back for
the long weekend, the DANDAC day. Of course school holidays.
Four more days and then school is off or I
think three more days. I think it was actually two
more days, three more days, four more days, three more
days because I think one of the kids at school
has got a teacher's only day tod Good for them.

(01:38:01):
First term's gone quite quickly. New Zealand won the football
at four one against Chile. This is the first time
we've beat a team from South America. I don't know
what teams that the all whites have won, so I
don't know what teams all whites have beaten. Have we
beaten someone for every continent? Now, of course friendlies aren't

(01:38:23):
quite the same, but still you might want to talk
about that. Oh yeah, looking now at the at the victories,
what they've won, it's quite Facebook page on this too.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Have we eaten?

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
Have you found? Have you found a good Can you
send me a list and of all the victory you've
got a good list. I've just got a sort of
a page. Nineteen eighties, that was a beginning where we
beat Mexico four nil at mcbill McKinley Park. Then of
course with those matches at Mount Smart when we did
very well Australia, who wait, Saudi Arabia and China of
very exciting times, was all dealt with on the road

(01:39:02):
to Spain. So we haven't had many outings. We have
many victories, but certainly the one tonight was one, although
they were down to ten men. But this Ai to
that Dan's getting good in it Ai. We've beaten American,
some other Cook Islands. Feed you your Canada pup when
you're gonna Somemo, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, tong Vanuatu. We've beaten Australia, Bahrain, China, Chinese,

(01:39:24):
Type Ai, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Uman,
Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, Uae, Uzbekistan. We've beaten Canada, Kuraso,
Al Sabado, Honduras, Mexico, trinated in Tobago. We've beaten Estonia, Georgia, Israel, Norway, Serbia.

(01:39:45):
We've bet in Chile which was tonight, and Ivory Coast
and Sudan. So there we go. So yeah, the European
wins Estonia, Georgia, Israel, Norway, Serbia. The Subi was a
one of victory just before the twenty ten World Cup
where we went to and I think at twenty ten
we we didn't lose a match, is that right? But

(01:40:05):
we didn't score a goal. I think that's the way
it went. Just good on defense anyway, ten from eleven.
If you want to talk, Moneams Marcus head twelve o'cot.
There's something else you want to mention school photos. Keep
those texts coming through. If you've got anything to report tonight,
let us know. Yeah, but get in touch if you
want to talk on air. Evening again Marcus shout out

years of age during World War Two. Play claret and saxophone.
Brilliant man. Thank you for that. It's turned away from
eleven o'clock. By the way, this is interesting in the
football results. The All Whites drew with China one all
in twenty ten or twenty eleven. And woo Hahn remember

(01:40:50):
that name, wo Hahn? Godness, well, now are they going
for tourism? Katie Marcus good evening.

Speaker 30 (01:40:57):
Yeah, Helen Marcus. I'm just swringing to tell you that
I went to Duntroon Primary School.

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
Done true, touch done troon yeh done true yeah, good
copy Yep.

Speaker 30 (01:41:09):
I went to Dunston Primary School and the day we
had our school photos taken, I was standing in the
corner of the classroom with bulldog barll dog clips on
my ears because two of us had been naughty so
we missed the photographs. Past we have very painful ears.

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
Wow.

Speaker 30 (01:41:30):
Now that was done by teachers back then.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
What a great idea that is, because.

Speaker 30 (01:41:34):
You imagine I was in the Standard six.

Speaker 1 (01:41:37):
So they'd get bulldog clips which pecked a punch, and
they'd clip your ear folded or as it is.

Speaker 30 (01:41:43):
I don't know. They just clipped it onto the bit
of your ear and you had to stand in a
corner for about twenty minutes. And honestly, that all I'm
saying is imagine teachers doing that nowadays.

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
One ear or both boths.

Speaker 30 (01:42:00):
Both ears and I missed the photographs. And who's my
dad who was a lovely, lovely man and looked just
not far from Duntrum. He wasn't very happy because I
was start.

Speaker 1 (01:42:12):
On the photo does seem barbaric?

Speaker 30 (01:42:17):
Seed? So They were pretty cruel, some of those teachers
back then.

Speaker 1 (01:42:20):
And that's a state school, not a Catholic school.

Speaker 30 (01:42:23):
A little country school. You know, we've done through on
the river. I went to Dundrum Primary School and then
went on to Timuru to a private school in Tamu.
Uh but I mean it was just effectively did that
were you?

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
Were you being bad?

Speaker 30 (01:42:43):
God? Naughty?

Speaker 1 (01:42:46):
I like, try that on the kids. That's a great idea.

Speaker 30 (01:42:50):
Get a packet a bulldog.

Speaker 1 (01:42:53):
They really had it. They really had a fair bit
of squeeze to them, didn't they that painful?

Speaker 30 (01:43:00):
I don't think i've seen a bulldog clipped for several years.

Speaker 1 (01:43:04):
No, they've got, they've got. It's a shame because you.

Speaker 30 (01:43:06):
Can't something for you to think about.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:43:10):
I should try it on your ear for old timesake.
See if you remember what it felt like? That sounds you?

Speaker 30 (01:43:15):
You try? Do you try one?

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
What was the teacher's what was the teacher's name?

Speaker 30 (01:43:19):
Well, this is what I'm trying to remember. I don't
know that I should say it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:23):
Well there'd be I mean, I don't know your age,
but you suspect they'd be dead, wouldn't you.

Speaker 30 (01:43:27):
You're only eighty? Yeah, I think your name was. I
think her name was, Miss Pollock.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Okay, we'll see if you find someone else about that. Ky,
I've enjoyed that muchly. Thank you, Miss Pollack and the
Bulldog clubs. That's unbelievable because we all try it on
our hands our ears just to feel what it's like,
Miss Pollack. Good I thing, Mike, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
Yeah, Marcus, Mike here go to school favor from nineteen
forty three. Wow, Green Island School down body, you know
where it is?

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
Yeah, And I can still name more all the pupils
in the at that in that photo and another one
taking the the year afterwards, where you had a mixed
class of Standard four and Standard fire and the Standard
five and Standard six. Uh, and I I can just

(01:44:28):
about to do every everyone in that class too.

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
Are you still in Green Island Mike, No, I'm in
Nelson there. Cheapest creepers you too, eh.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:44:39):
Oh, we had a pleasant weekend to need in this
weekend up there for sport. It was good. Actually went
past Green Island.

Speaker 2 (01:44:46):
Ye yes, I sort of missed the celebrations they've had
there over the years.

Speaker 1 (01:44:56):
It's got a good it's got a good field with
Green Island. It's got to it feels like a real
small town. It's got a good kind of insular field
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Yes, yeah, yes, you have up to the big school clocks.

Speaker 1 (01:45:09):
I love a school clock. How's Nelson today?

Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
It didn't rain, It's it's threat threatening rain this evening.
It was just a cloudy sort of a day. Quite yeah,
that's all just a cloudy sort of a day.

Speaker 1 (01:45:31):
Great report, Mike, Thanks for that text. If you can people,
how are you? Oh eight hundred you know the rest
Marcus till midnight, keep it going, whatever you want to
talk about, We're here for it. Eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty A romance at twelve me till then? What
else they done you besides the bulldog clips? I mean,
get into punishments. I'm into that. As a discussion. Jeeps affected,

(01:45:55):
I was, I was switching between outrage and I thought
cheap is that's effective? Very effective? Eleven eight eight past eleven.
Short week this week? Nothing is long like a short week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday off, Saturday week and Sunday week and Monday off?

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:46:12):
What's happening? School photos? Who was the guy that took them,
And what's the point of school photos because they do
still happen. I have children both at primary and intermediate,
and they get photos, they get the individual and the
class one and money changes hands, and then you get
them and then you never see them again. I don't

(01:46:32):
know where they go. Maybe they've got a grandparents of
the children, not of me. We're all so a little
bit of discussion about knits at school, and the panic
about knits, they say is probably undeserved, deserved and Jerry
cans people are buying cans. Well they can't now because
everyone's run out. Yeah, that's the plan tonight. If there's

(01:46:53):
something I just want to talk about. There's a bit
of war talk, always war talk. Brent Crewd's well up.
I think all those doubt is from week one that said,
oh well it'll pass in a week. I think they've
now realized that this is probably something that's going to
take months or years to be resolved. I don't want

(01:47:13):
a sweepstake because I've got no how, no idea how
long would actually know when it's over. It might be
one of those things that just as the new normal,
none of it seems particularly good, and I think it's
kind of I can't think of of an outcome where
we're better than we started, which is vaguely depressing. Yeah,

(01:47:34):
so the monthly ride rise for Brent crude has been
sixty percent, sixty percent, and now the hooties are in.
You can tell in the market they haven't that the
market's priced and there's not going to be a negotiation
or a deal untill I can tell you whether that's
the latest from that there. But if you want to
talk to me, people, I'd like to hear from you.

(01:47:55):
By the way, the foot seats cautiously up today, it's
some good news about shit. I don't know what on
information that's on. Maybe they don't know. Maybe that's just
the vibe feeling that I've got. Gosh, what's him to
Tony Street? Anyway, come on ten past eleven eleven ten.
My name is Marcus Welk. If you want to talk
on isn'night, that is the plan. There's something else you

(01:48:15):
want to mention talk about. I'd love to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (01:48:19):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
Now, this is live news for you. With footage huge
fire breaks out at Israeli oil refinery following Iranian missile strike.
Footage captured by Israeli media shows flames bursting from the
Bazarre refinery in the porthole city of Haifa, which has

(01:48:42):
previously come under attack of the Iran War. The refinery
refinery was attacked by Iran and his blar. Accordingia, that's
unclear whether fi was caused by direct missile strike or
by debris. So you're still very ongoing, and that's happening
as we speak. It's day thirty one of the war.
And Donald Trunk said an interview. Trump said an interview

(01:49:04):
not Trunk with the Financial Times that he could take
around oil and entered cag Island would be overtaken very easily.
So that's happened, and I Rana's were still interesting across
Irana nearby areas after strikes damaged power grids and beefly
disrupted supply. Nineteen past eleven. Good evening, Pete, this is Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:49:24):
Welcome, good evening to you, my dear friend.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
How are you good?

Speaker 1 (01:49:28):
Thanks? Pete? Yourself all good? Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:49:31):
Well, I can't complain.

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
Been in at the.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):

Speaker 24 (01:49:47):
Now, I've got a pipe up. I put this on
here quietly, just done.

Speaker 1 (01:49:55):
Okay, we understand, Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:49:57):
Yeah, I'm carrying a bag.

Speaker 1 (01:49:59):
Yeah sure, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
Hey.

Speaker 24 (01:50:01):
Anyway, I've also been told I've got celia XT disease.

Speaker 1 (01:50:07):
Oh yeah, I haven't heard of that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:50:09):
I can't eat wheat, oh yeah, wheat. But anyway, Marcus,
I was at the bus stop and alis a sorry
in Whitswan Roads Yes, Aukland, yes, and Matt Roskill and

(01:50:29):
this gentleman pulled up an a vent and as you do,
you talk to a stranger and start chatting away. And
next thing he pulled us wild out and gave me
twenty bucks. No he did, he says, mate, go by
himself a love for bread?

Speaker 1 (01:50:46):
What did you said to want the twitter?

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
What did you? Sorry?

Speaker 1 (01:50:49):
But how did he know that you needed money?

Speaker 24 (01:50:51):
Well? I didn't ask for it.

Speaker 1 (01:50:53):
No, that's pretty amazing, eh, he just he just were.

Speaker 24 (01:50:56):
Just having a general general chip wagon. And next thing
he pulls us wild out and says he you go,
And I said no, no, no, no no no, he
said no, take it, and he gave me twenty bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:51:09):
Did you buy bread?

Speaker 24 (01:51:11):
I haven't spent the money yet that's in my wallet.

Speaker 1 (01:51:15):
How the bus is going anyway from White Swan Road?

Speaker 24 (01:51:17):
All right, Yeah, they're not too bad some of these
I'll tell you that some of these drivers are pretty crazy.

Speaker 21 (01:51:26):
I think.

Speaker 24 (01:51:27):
I think some of the better driver are the some
Owen ladies.

Speaker 1 (01:51:31):
Yeah oh yeah, yeah yeah. I reck it's a stressful
job because you are dealing with traffic and people used
to deal with money as well. At least you don't
have got I think the scanning on is good for
the drivers.

Speaker 24 (01:51:42):
Yeah yeah, but the roads are terrible. I mean, the
bus lanes, they're just they'd got potholes like you wouldn't believe.

Speaker 1 (01:51:53):
Are they're fixing those Pete Anyway, nice story. I appreciate that.
Thank you. Hello, Mareen, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:51:59):
Ah.

Speaker 31 (01:52:00):
Isn't this war just just durable?

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
There's no upside to it that I can see. There's
not one good thing about it. Imagine being a marine
soldier and wanting to go I mean, because they're going
to be ken and fider when they go and try
and take that island.

Speaker 4 (01:52:14):
Terrible.

Speaker 31 (01:52:15):
Oh oh oh, it's just shocking. This is Israeli's war.
It's Israel's war.

Speaker 32 (01:52:30):
They're going to be sitting ducks. Horrible, terrible, They're going
to be sitting ducks. If America goes into there, they're
going to be sitting ducks.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
I think it'll be terrifying if you'd signed it to
the military and think and then suddenly you've got to
be in combat for a war that for a war
that the American Yeah, absolutely, this.

Speaker 17 (01:52:54):
Is going to be years.

Speaker 32 (01:52:55):
That nutcase, that little orange nutcase.

Speaker 1 (01:52:59):
I don't think we call him a little orange net
where you ken if you like, But I mean they'll
be blowback. But yeah, I mean he seems to have
made he seems to think that he's oh he thinks
he seems to think that he has better perception and
skills than Pepsi's.

Speaker 31 (01:53:16):
Got h we know he hasn't got those skills.

Speaker 1 (01:53:21):
Well, I mean they're the most dangerous people, the people
that overrate their ability very much so.

Speaker 32 (01:53:27):
That the king can I that's what they goes the king.

Speaker 31 (01:53:34):
Oh my god, bitber Oh, I don't know. It's shaky head.

Speaker 1 (01:53:46):
No good news, no good newsailery today the morning. Okay,
thank you, twenty three past eleven, get in touch of
your and talk man him as Marcus welcome eight hundred
and eighty ten, eight nine nine to detext anything else
you want to comment on tonight. We're nice to hear
from you bits and Bob's topic wise, that's okay. We
can cope school photos not photos. But we had a

(01:54:08):
teacher at Tucker Punter Grammar called Chalky Charman. If you
weren't paying a teacher to throw chalk at you, I
was recipient more than once. I was a nervous child
who made lots of mistakes with writing with pen and ink.
The teachers to hit me across the knuckles with a
rule that made it worse. My book was full of
link blotches. Last Days of Catholic School, Father Bliss, Toby

(01:54:29):
has a class closs ignorance was bliss. Six strokes, walked out,
then told to cam Beck and got another six s. Hi, Scott,
this is Marcus. Good evening, Oh gooday, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:54:41):
I just wanted to talk about the situation at the
moment entertaining to that last phone call, how it seems
like everyone's just blaming Trump for it and they're not
also blaming the people that started at Israel.

Speaker 1 (01:55:04):
Well, yeah, I guess that's that's.

Speaker 19 (01:55:08):
I just don't a lot of discussion about what they
do and more so what what Americas seems.

Speaker 1 (01:55:14):
This I think, I think I think America has I
think America has taken the lead in this one though,
have they not?

Speaker 21 (01:55:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:55:24):
Yeah, but yeah, there's it just seems a bit a
bit different that no one talks about the other country
involved that have been launching attacks and they've been getting
they've been getting hit hard themselves too.

Speaker 1 (01:55:43):
Do you think it's going to go on for a while, Scott,
I hope not, But yeah, I could.

Speaker 19 (01:55:50):
See it going on for a while, especially if if
the two of the main parties involved don't want to
They just want to butt heat and not sort of
work planning out that works for everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:56:01):
Well, I think the pandemic I think they're yeah, yeah,
I mean I think that that they already had a
plan to trouble with it out from years ago, and
that Trump walked away from that one, didn't he Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:56:13):
Well they they bombed them a while.

Speaker 1 (01:56:15):
Ago, a year or so ago, yes, And so.

Speaker 19 (01:56:18):
It's just and it also seems a bit weird. It
happened not too long after what happened in Venezuela. It's
almost like they were preparing for this.

Speaker 1 (01:56:28):
He's still talking, He's still talking about Cuba, and so
he's still talk about Cuba and Greenland as well.

Speaker 19 (01:56:35):
Yeah, he's definitely being very, very weird and definitely I
would say, you know, blowing his speeches up to make
himselves sound like he's winning, but they're not. But yeah,
I just find it weird how it seems like all
the focuses on America and not Israel too. You know,

(01:56:57):
they they've got they've got a questions to answer as well.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
I guess take your points, Scott, thank you. Hello, Janet's Marcus.
Good evening, evening.

Speaker 33 (01:57:06):
I'm just driving home from work hearing that your comments
about the war. And what makes me laugh is I've
got friends that live in Victoria and they've got free
public transport in and around Melbourne and the outskirts. It'd
be nice if Auckland Transport could do that for people
driving out to the southern suburbs without having to pay
for petrol.

Speaker 1 (01:57:27):
I think that I heard the mior making the Aukland
mear making sense about that, saying he thought the public
transport should be free.

Speaker 33 (01:57:33):
Yeah, you know, it's odd, and yet instead they're charging
us an arm and the leg and the timetable for
us nurses driving home from work this timmer night with
nothing available, how are we going.

Speaker 14 (01:57:43):
To go to work with no petrol?

Speaker 33 (01:57:46):
Worry you guys unfortunately will be suffering because we can't
get to work to go after you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:57:51):
Well, they'll need nurses, they'll have to be something. But
look that's a while away. But when there is a
situation with no fuel, there's going to be some really
complicated logistics.

Speaker 33 (01:58:02):
Yeah, I'm just dread to think what's going to happen.
I mean, we're already suffering with no having supplies running
out and basics and the supermarkets.

Speaker 1 (01:58:12):
Are supplies running out already.

Speaker 33 (01:58:14):
Well, my local supermarket, there's no bread on the shelves today, isn't.

Speaker 1 (01:58:18):
He what's that put down to? What's that put down to?

Speaker 33 (01:58:24):
I guess deliveries? Okay, have you ever got any petrol
for your delivery man? How are you delivering your supplies?

Speaker 1 (01:58:32):
Thank you, Jennet. I haven't heard the deliveries of round.
I think probably there was something wrong with the Vogel's
loaves A couple of weeks back and down at Pecket'
savor and Vicago, they're out of all sorts of goods
because of the interwalvent theories. But I feel something's gone on.
Be in touch if you want to be a part
of it. People. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two to text hit L twelve yep,

(01:58:55):
be in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nineteen nine two to text, Oh God tell you we
now the super bags that are clothes for Easter jeepers.
Anything else you want to mention? I think I just
want to talk about Feel free to get in touch people.
Keep those emails coming, also, people, if you want to
email stuff. Tonight Romance along at twelve Val says, I

(01:59:18):
think Bunning's and the like of delivery not put petrol
containers on the shelves to stop people stashing they might
have been told not to sell them. Might be a
stash out the back that makes sense. I was in
the Night of ten today, a very successful mission to
the Might of ten. Couldn't believe how busy it was.
I think people just like wandering around hard with shops
once they retire a lot of stuff. You need, Hello, Raymond, good.

Speaker 5 (01:59:41):
Evening, Getty, how's it going?

Speaker 1 (01:59:43):
Good things? Raymond?

Speaker 5 (01:59:44):
I'm just ringing a bit about fuel supplies. Actually, I
find before armored, I deliver bulk gases around the country.
And I was in the service station Tuesday last week
and there was a chap in there late at night

(02:00:07):
flowing up the underground tanks. And I said to him
as his walking past, and that you guys are busy
at the moment, and these turn around and said when
we can get the fuel? And I see what. I said,
what do you mean? And he said, for the last
two weeks that the terminals have reduced their load out ours.

(02:00:30):
So what the governments are telling us there's no problem
with supplies as a load of rubbish because already reduce
the amount of fuel that can be pumped out of
those tanks into the road tanks by thirty three percent.
And that's been going on for two weeks.

Speaker 1 (02:00:49):
So while doing that, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:00:52):
Because they're worried about running out in the last two
weeks sense and it run out twice. That's a major
fuel truck stop, and the coltechs across the road has
run out at the same time, and live in truck
stop further down the road is run out twice as well.

(02:01:13):
And haa up in Taranaki, they were at a diesel
for two days straight because of the lack of deliveries.
So you know, you've got to ask yourself how honest
the hierarchy have been with us?

Speaker 1 (02:01:33):
Because the government does stream as though they're saying it's
fifty days of supply, which is how much we always have, but.

Speaker 5 (02:01:39):
They're restrict in it covertly. Why would the tank farms
that hold these supplies reduce the hours from twenty four
hours a day down to sixteen so that restricts their
amount of tankers that can load out of their depots.
That's all I got to say, mate.

Speaker 1 (02:02:00):
You appreciate that. Raymond, thank you. There we go. Good evening, Bruce,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 20 (02:02:05):
Welcome today, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:02:09):
Thanks?

Speaker 34 (02:02:09):
Bruce, just calling up about the fuel situation, like what
some of the previous courts are called up yep. I mean,
with the fuel situation, I think there's a few few
factors that are happening. You've got a beer in mind
that only twenty percent of the world supply comes out

(02:02:30):
through the Gulf of Hamoos, so you know it's in
the scheme of things. There's still eighty percentences of buy
out there. What's been happening is that people have just
been going a bit crazy panic buying. And that's what's
you know, cause a bit of a fuel shortage of
New Zealand. You know if every runs my stock and

(02:02:51):
then all of a sudden the box.

Speaker 1 (02:02:52):
Rode Bruce, this is this is your opinion?

Speaker 24 (02:02:55):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (02:03:02):
Lorraine? As Marcus? Good evening?

Speaker 25 (02:03:04):
Hi, how are you good?

Speaker 21 (02:03:06):
La?

Speaker 17 (02:03:07):
I'm just ringing up about the fuel. I have a
diesel car and I live quite a few way out
of Dunedin and I travel into Dunedin and places on
a regular basis. And up to about a month ago,
I was getting diesel for about a dollar sixty seven

(02:03:27):
and now it's three point thirty eight.

Speaker 1 (02:03:31):
And it's over double.

Speaker 17 (02:03:34):
Yeah, and I also have to pay my road user
miles on top of that, so add that on as well,
so it becomes for a pension. It becomes quite an
expensive jewelry ride to go into Dunedin just to visit
family and whatever. And our bus service isn't great for me.

Speaker 10 (02:03:56):
It would be four.

Speaker 17 (02:03:57):
Buses to get into town way back. And I think
our government should fifty.

Speaker 1 (02:04:05):
Tax off all this fue Would there be four buses?

Speaker 17 (02:04:08):
Yes, Brighton to Green Island, Green Island to town and
the same coming back.

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
Oh, I see, I didn't think he meant return.

Speaker 17 (02:04:19):
Yeah, no return. But I do think the government charging
fifty percent texts on fuel is a bit over the top.
And if Australia can do it, why can't we do it?

Speaker 1 (02:04:31):
This is meant without judgment.

Speaker 17 (02:04:33):
With Australia's taking the petrol tet off the petrol.

Speaker 1 (02:04:36):
This has meant without judgment. But why did you buy
a diesel?

Speaker 17 (02:04:40):
Why did I buy a diesel? Because I had a
friend who passed away and I helped out his mother
by paying off his car and buying it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:52):
Okay, because yeah, because I mean it seems as though, Yeah,
I mean, I don't like you love the diesel.

Speaker 22 (02:04:58):
It's just a mes Yeah, okay, it's diesel.

Speaker 17 (02:05:03):
But when you had on road US and miles, and
you had the road using miles onto all the trucks
and all the businesses, that's a lot of tax they're paying.

Speaker 1 (02:05:12):
I think what they tried to justify it and said
that people are using a lot less petrol, so their
take is only the same from the tax on the petrol.
But don't if that rings true?

Speaker 17 (02:05:22):
No, yeah, but If we're paying three dollars for a liter,
they're getting a dollar fifty of that. If it goes
up to four and five dollars, they're getting two dollars,
two dollars fifty. They're getting more too. And that's not
what it was paid for, was it when it came

(02:05:42):
into the country.

Speaker 4 (02:05:45):
Nope?

Speaker 17 (02:05:46):
And I think you know, if they can say we're
not going to pay their government tax on it for
a while, why can't our government do that? That would
help everybody because then the food prices wouldn't go up. Businesses,
single businesses that are just using one or two small
diesel VENs to do deliveries, they're going to go bust.

(02:06:08):
This is affecting a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (02:06:10):
Oh, it's incredibly serious.

Speaker 17 (02:06:13):
M And the petrol and by the freight is going
to go up and price.

Speaker 1 (02:06:19):
And petrol will go up more also, and petsre will
go up more. Wait till the hoodies start messing with
what's going on in the Red Sea.

Speaker 17 (02:06:28):
Oh yeah, well that's really going to cut it, cut
it off at both ends.

Speaker 1 (02:06:31):
Isn't reckon thirty five forty percent of the world's petrols? Yeah,
that's all taken up.

Speaker 17 (02:06:38):
They should just rebuild Marsden Point.

Speaker 1 (02:06:41):
Well, mars and Point didn't do anything. It was just
with a broad and imported fuel. It was less.

Speaker 17 (02:06:47):
They refined it and it was in Zealand it was.

Speaker 5 (02:06:53):
More.

Speaker 1 (02:06:54):
If you go read about Marsden Point, there's there was
no joy in that it made it more expensive. That's
just a that's a red herring. That's the government blaming
the past. I think that's been widely condemned. All those
that mischief making. I think you've got to read that
stuff because yeah, I'm not going to entertain those sort
of comments because it's kind of it's kind of productive
and kind of just crazy. Do your research. Pretty to

(02:07:15):
twelve eighteen away from twelve people romanned along at roman
Along at midnight tonight, who wants to talk fuel? I
think we have got fifty days supply, Marcus. Fuel text
is not a percentage. It's seventy five cents a liter,
whether petrols two dollars liter or five dollars a liter.

(02:07:36):
There's no pretty much no excise text on easel diesel,
just road user charges. Yeah, road fuel texts are fixed
about pera. Only GST will increase, and they say there's
going to be less of it being used, so the
take is less. Marcus, the ould Hearst Surf Service Z
station was out of diesel. It's five pm tonight, first
time I can recall this happening. I wonder if some

(02:07:58):
large companies have been targeting outlets and hoarding diesel at
these outlets. I stop piling the likes of Z and NP.
Could possibly check their cameras and see if big users
are doing this practice. When to get my flat tire
fixed out a tire shop that I've been to before,
they've increase their prices by ten percent, so we went
to the opposition on the same rud I've got a

(02:08:19):
fifteen percent discount. Why is the government not putting a
price freeze on food? But I think a lot of
people are ready going flat out to try and get
fuel and get tankers. Marcus Totong had them triathlon on Sunday.
The Meyor and Mahi Drysdale participated. Interesting that to run
the swim league as Pilot Bay was polluted with sewerage

(02:08:41):
fifty days include ships three weeks away. I predict they
will run out of fuel and Waraka because of warbirds
over Easter. The mini tanker driver told me we've got
eleven days of diesel and there's only one ship on
its way. It's Marcus. Good evening time, Michael.

Speaker 4 (02:08:57):
Hell you good, Thank you.

Speaker 23 (02:08:58):
John.

Speaker 5 (02:09:00):
I think Nikola Willis gives the.

Speaker 23 (02:09:04):
Same answer every time about a sea lation neary issue,
which is the reason why she won't give relief in
a big band aid way for most people wanting it,
because she gives it. The reason for it will drive
up inflation. Sure, So that's the reasons for that.

Speaker 1 (02:09:27):
And you say that the way you say that, the
way you don't believe that, You don't believe that?

Speaker 4 (02:09:30):
Is that right?

Speaker 23 (02:09:32):
Oh well, this was before the fuel crisis. I never
believed the politician. But there she's she gave the land
was a lot of money and she didn't never talk
about inflation then.

Speaker 1 (02:09:49):
For one good point.

Speaker 23 (02:09:51):
But the other thing is that with that fuel that
guy got briefly got on the radio and said that
the fabercent and we're only affected by twenty percent with
that's not entirely true.

Speaker 1 (02:10:01):
We've only got that's completely not true.

Speaker 23 (02:10:06):
Yeah, delivered by Singapore. And even if Singapore cut us
off now to get it from the other eighty percent,
it would have to go the long way around, and
there's no guarantee to even give it to us. So
it's fine a skytalk and fifty days, it's fifty days.
It's fifty days a groundhog day, meaning every time I

(02:10:28):
hear it it's fifty days. It's never any less. I
mean it's forty she fall someone. Someone keeps saying fifty days.
But if you go back three weeks ago, was fifty
four days.

Speaker 4 (02:10:43):
So what is it.

Speaker 23 (02:10:46):
Fifty days or three weeks or what you know?

Speaker 2 (02:10:49):
It's I think I.

Speaker 1 (02:10:51):
Think what is clear today is the diesels going down
a lot faster. That seems to be the one that
people really are using. That's going to be the problem
because that's sort of stuff that's the stuff the farmers
and people need.

Speaker 23 (02:11:01):
Yeah, And just briefly before we go, the caregivers Nikola
will have seemed to be hanging on, hanging on because
it was an inflatinary issue. But the serious issue right
now is that they're on a just above minimum wage
and they have to look after the elderly. They have

(02:11:21):
to change bandages and share and two house fitful these
elderly out of hospital, but their petrol is going up
and it's into their wages and that's not fear.

Speaker 24 (02:11:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:11:33):
I heard them talk on the radio. I did say
it seem as though that's really poorly put together for them.
That seems to be really Yeah, I agree entirely.

Speaker 2 (02:11:41):
With you on that. Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:11:43):
No, great to talk to you, Marcus, you always.

Speaker 1 (02:11:45):
Johnia, John, thank you, Andrew, it's Marcus. Good evening. I'm
I can tell you good Andrew, thank you.

Speaker 6 (02:11:51):
Oh.

Speaker 35 (02:11:51):
We spoke about l ten days ago, two weeks ago
about you know, we pointed out that it was far
reaching this crisis. It's it's really quite interesting about the
tax on the on the petrol or on the on
the petrol, because it's an ad valoreum tariff, which means
it's a percentage. So it means that say the government.

Speaker 1 (02:12:14):
What's and what's the word you said, it's a what's
of tariff?

Speaker 9 (02:12:17):
Lam?

Speaker 35 (02:12:18):
It means a value added percentage. It's it's a percentage.
So say it's fifty So you have something that costs
one hundred dollars and you put fifty fifty percent tax
on it, it goes to fifty dollars, it's one hundred
and fifty dollars. That's your revenue stream there. But if
that goes to two hundred dollars and it's fifty percent.
It's one hundred dollars tax you're getting, So you're actually

(02:12:41):
getting fifty dollars more in tax than what you were before.
So it's not a flat rate. It's not a flat
rate tax. It's an ADVALRM so it's a percentage. Sure,
So that means the government is actually could actually be
getting more revenue now with the higher prices than it
was before, so it could it could cut the taxes

(02:13:03):
back away. But so it's revenue was the same amount.
But it's really tricky, and everybody's talking about the Marsden point.
But with the Marsden point, that really does depend on
your storage capabilities because you might be able to refine
it here, but you're still limited by how many ships
are coming into the country. Sure, you see, But what

(02:13:27):
the biggest issue is is I remember back in when
Carlos Day's all hit, everyone converted to LPG and C
and G can only get seeing because it's compressed natural
gas and liquefied natural gas. The difference and with the
previous government cutting down all the gas field and Taranaki,

(02:13:47):
we don't have the same gas. Natural gas coming off
those Mai and all those different taxes are those different
gas fields that we were.

Speaker 1 (02:13:58):
But I think I think there's guest fields are right
out anyway, haven't They did that? They did that that
Petrick Carbon Patrol action when they went looking for fuel
and there was none there.

Speaker 35 (02:14:08):
But when we've got a lot of the Canibury bikes
and things like that, not viable stuff. When the price
is one hundred and what was one hundred and sixteen
dollars a barrel, it might become.

Speaker 9 (02:14:22):
It might become.

Speaker 1 (02:14:23):
But when they did that two thousand and eight pet
Petroleum action pan that was Keys government and they went
off and looked at all those fields that they're going
to be hoping it was bigger than Maui and I
either no longer existed or were hidden in rough deep seas,
was tough geology. That meant they went viable. So yeah,
maybe they're viable now, but it didn't look good.

Speaker 35 (02:14:45):
But having them all having their whole industry cut down
certainly doesn't doesn't help. So it's probably more of it.

Speaker 1 (02:14:50):
We've had plenty of warning to go into solar and wind.
I mean, the writing has been on the wall. Shiner
have been up for it. They've done it well.

Speaker 35 (02:14:57):
I went and looked at a Tesla the other day
and my new dream Tower when the dreamcaw used to
be in our the ares for of the eight I've
had the s for but not the ares. But I
tell you what, the Tesla three Extended Range, four wheel
drive Performance model zero to one hundred and three and
a half seconds how much ninety thousand dollars A lot

(02:15:19):
of money. So by the time he bought it had
your appreciation, and in two years later it's worth probably
fifty thousand dollars. That's a lot of high priced petrie
you could buy in the meantime.

Speaker 1 (02:15:30):
Nice to talk and thanks so much for that nine
to twelve. Hi, David good Eving, it's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 8 (02:15:35):
Yeah, I've got a bit of humor for you. We
had a relief teacher called Missus Black and she used
to do a scone and throw chalk. Well, one day
she threw a duster at me because she found a
crayon wouldn't rub off the blackboard. We used to wind
her up some shopping. Yeah, but anyway, Oh, Mike Boscher

(02:15:56):
was looking very flesh and his black police finery. I
see you're the Eastern State Police Commissioner.

Speaker 1 (02:16:05):
I see the news tonight. I thought that guy would
still be alive. I thought he seemed that I was
going to give them a bit of a run. He
survived for a while, didn't he.

Speaker 8 (02:16:14):
Yeah, he survived for a while, But I think the
outcome was inevitable.

Speaker 1 (02:16:19):
Might look a bit better for Mike boy. She got
in trouble for taking a helicopter somewhere.

Speaker 9 (02:16:23):
Yeah, remember that. Yeah, And he had enjoyed years.

Speaker 2 (02:16:28):
They do.

Speaker 8 (02:16:29):
But I still say that this business with the ear
shows and all this, I think it's Yeah, I think
it's a bit of a kick and the gats and
a nonsense myself of my money, And I think we
shouldn't panic Marcus fifty days and fifty days, and I
think this business, whether it winds you the hooties and
all that, and getn't involved. He it's hard to know
that anyhow. I think we shouldn't panic. Mister captain memory,

(02:16:53):
mister Menory.

Speaker 1 (02:16:53):
Yeah, nice thought to day.

Speaker 9 (02:16:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
From the time the started twenty eight days ago or
thirty days ago, how well it was people ring up
for the roofast night today only twenty percent of the
world or it's not going to affect anything. It's going
to be over in four days, and you're gonok at
the futures market for oil, and people swore about it
and it almost felt like someone was writing their lines.
But it's gone on for a month and diesels gone

(02:17:18):
up sixty percent, So it's clear that this is affecting
the world's economy in a major, major way. And I
don't know. They might be good come from it. It
might be the pivot away from fossil fuels might save
the planet, but that's a very long term and positive

(02:17:39):
way to look at it. But yeah, it's hard to
get yourself in that frame of mind. That is it
from me. I shall return tomorrow night, and no doubt
what we're talking about fuel again. But I'll tell you what,
As every day goes the outcome becomes more and more complicated.
It's certainly not one of those things that I can

(02:17:59):
see an easy resolve. And gosh, with ground troops, it
looks like it's going more and more towards boyoboard and
there could be some very grim headlines with that. But yeah,
none of the world news is good as far as
what's going to happen. Because Brent crude, which seems to
be the de facto symbol for how worried everyone is.

(02:18:21):
That price goes up and up and up. Satur dollar
sixteen all day today, which is more than it's been
the whole time. So yeah, it's only twenty percent of
the world's oil. But boy oh boy, and those ships,
you know those ships, there's less ships. You're not going
to build new ships suddenly there's all ships are stuck
in the gulf. So they've got the whole supply is

(02:18:43):
I mean, remember how much trouble just that one ship
of the sewers Canal did. They're ever given for World Trade.
It's a very very delicate operation, World Trade. I shall
be back tomorrow.
