Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
I know seven greetings and got any one of us,
Marcus htil midnight to night. It's the Friday free for all.
It's the free for all that is Friday Greetings. Welcome.
Oh yeah, wow, goodness. A lot to say in a
long time to say it. Firstly, I found myself in
a new world today. Yeah, and for my sins, I

(00:34):
have got one of their silly cards. However, and I
hate myself for this, but there was that you Whittaker's chocolate,
which has had a fair amount of publicity in the
last forty eight hours. It's got the publicity that Paul
Henry hasn't got. What was left over that got this

(00:54):
Whittaker's chocolate. Goody goodye gum drops. It looks fantastic. The
packaging the stand brought myself a pack pack, I guess
you call it a pack a bar unbelievable looking thing,
just a gorgeous looking pack. Terrible, just awful. Not chocolate
e I mean, is it better than a bar of chocolate?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Is it better than a bar of white chocolate?

Speaker 5 (01:18):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's a well packaged compromise, so avoid it like the
plague inedible. Just all it tastes off is sweetness. Anyway,
that's me. I gave it a go. I don't know
what to do that the kids won't want it, so
I feel I got remorse. I got the old Whittaker's
remorse because it doesn't know what it is. What I mean,

(01:42):
the gum drops are fine, but watch the bit that's green.
It's not chocolate, it's not milk chocolate, it's not ice cream.
There's no tie in. I just don't understand it because
the block. I mean that the gum drops are fine,
but watch the block, just sweet green mess. Anyway, So
I feel better having said that now to you. And
then I got myself a sticker. I self checked out.

(02:06):
I said, we's my stickers. I put out the receipt
that I had to go across, and she gave me
a time little sticker with smegritten on it, and she said,
would you like in a book? I said no, I've
got to send it for Mark. So there we go.
Watch out because I we'll try and put it in
the box. Anyway. I hope your day was more exciting
than that. That's the story. With the chocolate and the smig.
We're raising money. We're raising stickers for Mark. We want

(02:29):
to get them the Cannives because last time I missed
out on the brazier. Any arrived in the mail yet, Dan.
That's bad. None's arrived yet. None have arrived yet. Anyway,
that's that Mark out of the way. The ships. The
ships have been called Cook and Coope terrible, terrible. We've

(02:51):
always every good names for ow and Triland fairies. So
the Waheni or the Wahene, they've all had great names.
So yeah, and this is just disappointing. Anyway. I don't
know what you want is talk back in that, but bosh,
they've had good names. Ada tri Kia, Kayarahi, Kaitaki. The

(03:15):
Blue Bridge ones haven't been so good. I think they've
inherited names like Connie Mourra, which sounds like a sub
about a Howard, isn't it. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
yeah yeah, I see you've moved to Connie Mourer. Anyway,
the Aramawana, the Aarnui, the Dahanga, the ad tick of
the Adahura, the other try, the Kaituki, the Kayarahi, they're

(03:35):
good names. Cook and Kopei anyway, So yeah, old and
there he was Old Granddad telling us the names of
our new fairies, Cook and Coope. So there is that,
But that's just kind of virtue signaling and trying to
pop the act bubble and get some votes back forensied first.
But gosh, it's so sad anyway, that's that. So I

(04:01):
don't even know why they're naming the fairies. Now, wouldn't
we name the one we got them? When ships in
the past have had great names. Titanic it's a great
name for a ship when I'm not suggesting we call
it the Titanic because pretty much the iceberg wrecked that
as a name of a ship, I think. I don't
even know where the word Titanic cames from. I think
it's from the Greek or something, so there was that.

(04:22):
So that is the name of the ships. But there's
been some great names of ships. I think. Traditionally ships
are named after women, so I don't know why we've
gone with men's names. So that seems a bit woke.
I always thought they're named after women. That was genuinely
the thing that was my take on that one. Anyway,
it's neither here nor there from a topic point of view,

(04:43):
We've got something to say about that. That's the plan.
The other thing, A lot of discussions today about quakes
and there has just been one southeast of a Hastings,
and I just wonder how many discussions you have had
and your little bubble about preparedness for quakes. I don't

(05:04):
want to be Danny Doom, but I do happen to
be on the council in the South and they're always
talking about AF eight. I always thought mentioning an energy
drink or something, but AF eight is Alpine fault eight,
and it's not if, it's when, and it's seventy five
percent will happened the next fifty years? And when when
the alpine fault on zips? Ah, boy, oh boy, She's

(05:26):
going to be a that's going to be a long
news bulletin when that happens, because yeah, what will happen?
I mean, you look at it and any one time
there's about four thousand Australians in Queenstown, they'll be stuck there.
There'll be no way in and out of Queenstown. The
airport will be full of ravines, there'll be no roads out.
What they might be able to do is put them
on the earnslawer and ferry them down to Kingston if

(05:48):
the wolf still and tack can take them out that way.
But it's going to be a big situation. So I
wonder if you've thought about that, because when that goes,
the West coast will be cut off. We'll need the Navy,
we'll need everything. I would imagine it's got the potentially
be much more serious than happened with christ Church because
with the christ Church people could get out of there.
But if it's Queenstown's trapped, and Queenstown's a trappy kind

(06:10):
of a place even these days, you know with the gorge,
the Kuwato Gorge, more often than not they've got people
on ropes trying to stop the cliffs from crumbling down
on the road. You got the Devil's Staircase. Well, that's
still going to handle the quake, Well, is it? That's
your two roads out, that's it. And no doubt there
probably be a quake down the lake, the lake quake
that could wipe out the CBD. So yeah, on a Friday,

(06:32):
don't want to be miserable. It will be a miserablest.
But if you want to mention that also, how are
you going to cope with that? And I'm you know,
this is not Christian. This is the one that's going
to cut off the coast and probably Warnica and Queenstown.
I'm not saying don't move there, but I wouldn't because
that's going to be you know, and who knows when
it's going to happen. So that's something else you might

(06:53):
want to talk about. The ships and the quakes. It
is the Friday free flow. Try and get a bit
of a lighthearted bent on a Friday. But that's what
we've got. Someone says Cook as a woman's name e g.
Cook meaning your missus, Marcus, the ship should be named
anymore in Tutanica after the couple of Dave thinks a

(07:15):
couple of Chinese names, and Sonia says, yep about that
chocolate flavors, they are turning them into lolliblocks and ruining
the decadent chocolate. It's terrible, Marcus. I went to the
British shops day the Barston boiled sweets, and I saw
it used to be called licorice bullets are now called
licorice comforts. Apparently they're allowed to call them bullets anymore.
What the heck, I've never heard that anyway. Egg and

(07:41):
Fish had a research ship James Cook in the seventies
for years. Malcolm, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yay.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
No, I'm not going to eat it too much of
a hard time.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
But I heard you're opening.

Speaker 7 (07:56):
Saying about you know the new what it is thumb
drop chocolate.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
And I bought a bar today because when I go
to the New World, I can't buy my favorite word.
I always buy wood, all right, right, and I but
I can't buy jelly tip, which is my favorite, at
any of the foodstuffs sutlers, and they all say, oh
it's been delisted. They don't meet anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's not right.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
It's not what I no, you know the jelly tip
one they did.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Oh yeah, they just did them for a short time,
I think, to get people fishing, and then they stop them.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
No, no, no, no, anyway, I bought a bar and
I've got a sweet taste and loved it.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Well you give your mind.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Well, all right, everybody's tastes to one's teeth. But what
I will say, I will not buy Canbury. It is rubbish.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh yeah, And they killed the irrangutangs, didn't they.

Speaker 8 (08:56):
It's full of palm oil.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
And its same.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
People, by the way, who bought waters and have wrecked war.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Okay, yep, you got your You got a bit of
a low buzz energy voice today, Malcolm, and I'll cut
that off. Apparently they are still called licorice bullets, are
Jays and Darryl Lee. So I've never heard them called
licorice comforts. But you be careful about some of the stuff.
There's some conspiracy that's not there. I'll do some more
backhatch your people. Seventeen past eight. So according to Google,

(09:28):
the licorice comforts and the licorice bullets are completely different things.
One is Covening candy, the other is Covin chocolate and candy.
So you're different things. It's not PC gone mad. David's
Marcus grieving and welcome.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Oh how are you?

Speaker 3 (09:41):
You're good for?

Speaker 9 (09:43):
How's my chacking friend down there?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Thank you for your kind words, Dave all God.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, that's good.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
Everything right at home and no.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
More cracks in the house. That's the good news.

Speaker 9 (09:58):
Well, yeah, it fantastic and no cricks in you, which
is good. And I thought afterwards that it may have
been remissive me not advise getting under a strong table.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Or that's the test of a broadcaster to keep on
broadcasting the guy with the Hindenburger, the humanity, the humanity.

Speaker 10 (10:22):
Where's my cash?

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Because that's just that during one never knows just the
intensity of an earthquake until after. And we all know
here in christ Church because often it'll feel like a
rabbit than the headlights, you understand, because the power of
Mother Nature. One never knows just how bad it's going
to get.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
But you're the quake you're the quake expert. But I
presume with earthquakes, you know, and I haven't been through
a lot, not ones that have been damaging ones, but
I presume it's the very initial quake which is the
most damaging one. Is that and then it kind of
lessens off from the not too about the aftershocks. But
in the initial.

Speaker 11 (11:04):
Event, okay, no, you know, it ramps up, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
It starts off with a juttter, so quite often you
do hear it coming like a locomotive and then it hit.
But that intensity can ramp up to to where the
stage of look when the ceiling starts coming down your
handy head. I'm not over egging it or the chimney

(11:29):
crashes through the roof. You know, it's pretty intense or
you cannot stand. But it's that intensity that builds and
then a wompa and you never really know. That's where
perhaps last night, and the wise thing to do for
you or anyone else is to get under a stout
table or a book door somewhere that's going to protect you,

(11:50):
your head and your backsiding. So because when they say
to get into a doorway or an arch during a
real earthquake, you cannot stand. You cannot get to that doorway.
Take it from me, take it for us. In Crostche
anyway that alpine fault goes that can generate up to
a magnitude nine. Now that's the other thing I was

(12:13):
going to address on the Richter scale, because I don't
think it takes into consideration the depth the depth of earthquake,
the depth that it iss sented at, and that I
think is a lacking part of the Richtor scale, because
I do believe modern day they measure it by a
different means. Are you aware of that, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
He's no longer the Richter scale, that's gone. But there's
also an acceleration scale which the Christians one was so
high on. I don't know what that's called now, the
the I don't know the name of it.

Speaker 9 (12:42):
Yeah, that is a thing, because that's the when you
hear it coming, that's the force. Or I think more
along the lines of a sonic boom. You know, when
it's rattling that rapidly that you can hear it coming.
And often people plays like this break train. Now. Knife
Block Edinburgh is the name of my Timu knife block

(13:06):
cheap as chips. But I'll tell you what. The knives
are effected and it's a good looking see through clear
plastic night block.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
They arrived day here, but they've.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
Been here for ages, or hear them for ages, and
it's a nice sharpener. Are steel and five the nice
set of five knives. And I'll tell you what the
thirty something dollars you can't go wrong.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Good on your Dave. Thanks that, Brian. It's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah? Good Brian good.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I think the arm An x Rahway poet. I think
the new ral furry names are crap. Yeah, okay, I
honestly do, because they mean.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Nothing, and that's what most that's what most of the
texters are saying is that they're meaningless.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
The fact is sect of spoken to two. We turn
on first party members a few weeks ago and I
suggested to I've been talking to about the service have
been replacing the new ferries. Is the names whispering breeds
and hailing gale? Because when you go through the cooks

(14:16):
great you quite often get a hailing go through there,
and when you get further down into the sound, so
you get a nice whispering breeze on your face and
your through the ear.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Would you call the one ship.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Both the ideal name for the area.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
So you think the ships should be called whispering breeze
and helling gale.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, the two names I've always loved, and I thought
this is the time to fifty Minister of Railways would
accept it.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Who normally named the ships in the past? Was it
normally the minister? Is it even his job?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Is it even the Minister of railways job to name
the fairies?

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Well? Most of the Mary names all the rai's been
here a Mary names. So a bad time. We had
a team.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
But whose job, Ryan, whose job was it to come
up with the names?

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (15:13):
What would say?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Who would who would come up with the names.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Yeah, I came up with those two.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, okay twenty seven past nine, eight hundred and eighty eight,
ten eighty nineteen ninety to text Marcus regarding the Opine faul.
Although I've discovered potential new weather forecasting and earthquake forecasting
methods based on physic ideas, I also worked out a
method specifically the Alpine fault would beautify to test these
ideas on past earthquakes to see if they could work.

(15:43):
You do you, Allen, Marcus? Our rail theories have always
started with a R a udd hence our current two
roros which weren't rail enabled and known as Kataki and Kaylahi. Okay,
so the rorods had the ara on h. So that
the the rail ones, when looking to name other teddy

(16:09):
kibi rowls, sought expressions and ideas. Shame this history hasn't
been continued, but oh well, that's type common sense prevails
when they arrive over great night, Phil get in touch
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to
detext So, yeah, an earthquake preparedness on af eate Alpine

(16:30):
Fault eight. Anything to mention about that, that's the plans
stand big weekend of sport coming up. It was interesting
reading about the Irish coach that I didn't I did
not know that reading a very interesting article today that
his background called rugby league. So I don't I like him.
I like the way he sits in the box on
his own and not so really he seems to be

(16:52):
a I just like the way he behaves Andy Ferrell.
So I didn't know that that was his thing, that
he was from a He's from Wigan rugby league man.
I think he was in the English team at a
very very young age, full of the national at the
age of eighteen. So yep, there we go.

Speaker 11 (17:10):
That is him.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's gonna be a good match tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
Do to do.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
The fairy names? Need more syllables? Marcus? What is worst
long term for us as the bird flu, especially with
mutates infecting humans and ninety percent death rate, is concerning
something for our scientists to work on a vaccine? Gary,
You know they do the vaccine, who's gonna take it?

(17:38):
That's the trouble. They always said that that you know,
you get one of works, next time, you get all
the conspiracies and oh, I'm not taking that. I put
the wrong mic on my apology. Thanks Tony, twenty nine
away from nine to eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
What I was saying was cheaper roll E says for
all with the old trade deal with Switzerland. Bring it
on twenty nine to nine. Get in touch. If you

(18:00):
want to talk earthquake preparedness AF eight, Alpine fault eight
and the eight, it's going to be about three hundred times,
well maybe four hundred times, who knows how the scale works,
but an eight is about many, many times of a
magnitude haigher than the one that was last night. Get

(18:23):
in touch. If you want to talk our second case
of bird food, that's the cahu which eats the roadkill.
It's the cutting uhia. Is that one that won't We'll
just eat live stuff so that won't. But well I
guess that'll if it it's a bird with bird food,
that will also be a problem. But the World Cup
on Monday morning, brilliant Johnny, it's Marcus, good evening and welcome,

(18:47):
good evening.

Speaker 10 (18:49):
About the theory names and the earthquakes. So I was
listening to the bloke before said it's about when we
need an English name, and my first reaction was sort
of a reaction, and then I thought, well, hang on,
why couldn't we have a mixture. We could have the
pioneering Kahi or the you know we we we could

(19:13):
maybe do the unthinkable and put them together to satisfies
those that are sick of everything wearing Mali. We could
we could almost said the B word, but we could
join them together.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Hang on, did people ever have it? Because I think
I think the I think New Zealand ships right, and
remember a lot of those ships from the Merchant Navy
were used to go into battle and stuff like that,
like the Mali and things like that. I don't think
anyone who had problem the names of the ships, did they?

Speaker 10 (19:45):
I think it's just the smaller community problem names. It's
not really about the ships. It's just it's about the language.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
But I've been in this seat for a long long time,
right since, and I've never once heard anyone complain about
the names of fairies. Never once.

Speaker 10 (19:59):
There was the first time. Yeah, But I just thought
maybe the overall complaint is not so much the theories.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Okay, okay, I've never heard of it.

Speaker 10 (20:09):
Yeah, But besides that, look, I'll be on the other
hood and picked my ring out. I'll be on the
on the other one, which was the fastest one, and
was that thelitary I think a few years now, But
I don't really mind what it's called. As long as

(20:29):
it's functioning, it's going and keep everybody happy. Why not
have a mixture of both.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, I think what we really wanted was the biggest
ships that was planned. That all the millions of dollars
was lost on the contract, that's really what it should be.
And maybe this is the way you're actually changing the
discussion and getting away from the fact that so much
money was wasted.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
And I've got a question about this earthquake stuff, like
when I'm driving, because like I told you, I bought
another bus, right, And I'm a little bit like, what
do you How do you know if there's an earthquake
when you're driving? Had it happened, would you need to know?

Speaker 11 (21:07):
I think I was thinking, what do I do?

Speaker 10 (21:10):
I mean, we've got the Allison box, and we've got
the ear assisted abes breaks and blah blah blah. But
I remember seeing the roads and an ingecome in the
paper because I was at school when the earthquake went off,
and it was eighty six eighty seven, and I didn't
sit under the hide under the desk, and I ran
outside and you, just like the man said before, you
can't stand up. I thought, what would it be like

(21:32):
if you're driving a tin downe or a bigger vehicle
down the road and suddenly the whole world starts to
going topsy t V. It's a slam moment.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
It would be a bridges and viaducts crash, wouldn't it.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
I just wouldn't want to run anyone it's car over
or cause the crash, you know, And I mean common sense,
just try and slow down as quick as you can.
But I just, yeah, it's kind of a freaky thing
to think about for me. I don't have a lot
of experience driving big vehicles figuring it out.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
You know, I'll find out more. Johnny, thank you so
much for twenty five to nine. Welcome, good evening. Someone
said the willing to have a tug was called Koope
brilliant Do do do? Marcus? I was going for a
week this morning walk this morning, I saw a dead bird.
I don't know if I should contact someone. I actually
don't know who to contact. Have we got a name

(22:20):
for a place we can call for dead birds. I'm
expecting a lot in Bluff because all those migratory birds.
Of course, all the mutton birds are tety that are
that are my gratory birds that fly halfway around the world,
and when they came back, they're all nest on those
islands south of all on the Mutton bird islands all
around Stuart Island. And yeah, they will look, I'm sure

(22:43):
there'll be huge concerns that they will be affected. But
I wonder when the when we do start seeing birds
washing up? Yeah, and look, who knows how you know?
I mean there could be a SITUATIONDS there's great amounts
of birds. It's hope not do do do do?

Speaker 11 (22:56):
Do do do?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Marcus thought one of the lovely names one of the
eupharies would be my one a Newie, my one a
meaning ocean, Neuwi meaning big or great? Marcus, did you
know that post nineteenth any one they be? Earthquake Height
restrictions for tank stands were introduced because many people were
killed due to tank stands giving way, causing tanks filled
with water to the roll down the hills, killing people
running to safety. Wow, my great grand aunt was one

(23:20):
of them. Goodness so metal corrugated water tanks on stands
falling off or rolling down hills either be terrifying. I'd
never thought of that. I know that after the quakes. Right, Oh,
this is going to sound like a lecture, but you
know around the New Zealand how there's a lot of
town clocks and kind of modernist or modern concrete shells.

(23:42):
That's all because they deemed that the clocks were a
huge earthquake risk because all that weight up high and
a narrow building, so most of them had to get
repurposed and rebuilt. Sort of. The clock towers have got
old clocks and modern casings or modern modern towers because
of quakes. So we live when we lumber. That was
shocking about that was and I've thought a lot about

(24:04):
today about quake yesterday and how terrible the information we
got was. I was appalled. I left here last night,
and I thought, because I went straight to Civil Defense
Facebook to click on there, because it's the quickest way
to click on their their website, clicked on an era
not going and then their map was wrong too. The
map had an era of evacuation that went from and

(24:26):
I didn't want to say it because I wasn't confident,
but the evacuation zone went from Milford Sound right round
to a tarpary or a pookie and almost as far
as Riverton, so they filled out the wrong area. So yeah,
it was it was a cluster, absolute cluster. And that's
one thing we should be good at is because it's
one thing people want. I mean, as you know, they'd

(24:47):
like the guy that rung up last night in O
high country station. What do you do. You're having a
few beers with your mates, you're a shepherd or a musterer.
Turn on the radio, find out what we got to do,
and the website because we were well in the end,
we got an email from Civil Defense. But yeah, I
just thought it was shocking. It's embarrassed. What a great
shame that we're not giving a chance to enter a
competition to name the new fairies. Considering it's the taxpayers,

(25:10):
taxpayers that's sacrificing our money to pay for these should
we name them after a politician that you' cinda and
the Winston that'd be a good thing. Twenty one to nine,
just thinking aloud, why can't they sell the names of
the fairies like the Harvey Norman, you know, because you've
got corporate sponsorship or you've got the cake Tiners now

(25:31):
then Henry Stadium or Spark Arena or Forsyth Bar. Could
you not name a ship a sponsored name? Make of
it a Dora me call it the Harvey Norman or
the go media just thinking aloud, Well, ships are special things,
aren't they? Ships have it well, particularly when we look
at the New Zealand's history and the great names we've

(25:52):
got of ships, and the you know how big it
is in our history, the way Heney and the what
was the one that? What was the one that? What
was a ship that New Zealand's dead list? Was it
the Cospatrick coming to New Zealand? About four hundred people
on it killed one of the fairies. Could be called
the sam Neil catching the work. Oh I'm on the
salm near It could work like that anyway. There is

(26:13):
a bird flu number oh, eight hundred and eighty nine
nine sixty six. Does that spell anything? Damn, We've got
a reverse thing to do with something with that. But
does that the lesser spell anything?

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Like?

Speaker 11 (26:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
I think you can reverse engineer that. One fourteen twelve
re close game between Cranulla and Newcastle Marcus in reply
to the guy before who's wondering what it would be
like to be driving with earthquake hits. I was driving
when christ To eleven earthquakes struck. I had very little
control of my car. It felt like I was driving

(26:46):
on an oil slick. Everyone stopped their vehicles till it
was over. Not a nice experience, and so clearly they
felt it. Marcus. When the new and Toine Fairies arrive,
will we have an open water tug available for fairies
if required for rescues. If not, this is huge and
potentially catastrophic oversight. Maybe we could call the fairry the
Winston Peters and wait for it to sink. Thank you.

(27:08):
Oh here's a good point, Oh dear Marcus. Would you
want your company's name on the ferry when they run
on the ground and the sounds or park it on
Barrett's reef by accident. It's a very good point, mind you.
You could also have a hillsbro type thing in a stadium,
and people seem to have no problem sponsoring those, do they? Yes,
someone else is Marcus. Would you want your name when
I picked in ferry every time they break down? Maybe

(27:30):
not the positive advertising. It's a very good point and
the Harvey Norman has lost power again in the coock
Straight back at your headle twelve, sixteen to nine halftime
the league Foding twelve Kronella. It's at the Shark Park
fourteen twelve Marcus. On the Tetelangi facebook page, someone has

(27:51):
reported quite a few dead sea birds at Kramatura this afternoon.
They advised the MPI know what sort of birds were they?
That's the inland walkway, is it? That's yeah, because I've
seen nothing in Bluff. I've been around the coast. I
don't know what's going on there. Fifteen to nine o'clock
Heat till twelve. I mean the good thing about the theories,

(28:13):
it's free, easy to change your names. They've always got
different names, haven't they. All those ones that come across
the Bluebridge runs always given different names, and the flags
of convenience ships have all sorts of different names. Heat
till twelve. Maname is Marcus? Good evening, Pete.

Speaker 12 (28:27):
Welcome, Yes, good evening, Marcus. I'd like to congratulate you
from ruining this came as you did last night in
what must have been a frightening situation for you.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Thank you, Peter. I didn't feel frightened because, yeah, but
I mentioned if it was got worse, you could wonder
what to do if the buildings started cracking. But yeah,
fortunately it's a modern building. It was good, but thank you.

Speaker 11 (28:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (28:48):
Well, you know, as the expert on the quake's head,
you don't know which way it's going to go, whether
it's going to roll up to something worse or it's
just going to sort of pet her out, you know.
So they've got a horrible unawareness about them, even though
they seem to be relatively common in this country anyway,

(29:11):
but not as bad as sub countries. The thing about
the fairies, Marcus, I think it's going to be great
to have the new fairies here, but I just wonder
why they never called one of them the Mainlander and
the other one the North Islander because they're cross enough.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
It's not a bad idea, is it. But yeah, the
North Islander and the Mainlander or that. Yeah, that would
that would work, wouldn't it.

Speaker 11 (29:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (29:35):
I think it worked pretty well.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
They're long names. There aren't a lot of syllables in there.

Speaker 12 (29:40):
Well that that would matter so much because a lot
of ships you want to see some of the ones
that come in here, you plumouth. They got really long names.
There's there's a big logship in here at the moment,
and it's got They got double barreled names, and they're

(30:01):
very they're very long names. But as you said previous,
for shipping, they get charted by different companies all the time,
so one name's ground out, another names painted over, so
flags are convenient. It's really nice to talk, Pete.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Thanks so much for that. Ten away from nine Marcus.
No people's names on fairies, Techi, they are beautiful monikers
into our core fight totimu Marcus. What about women's names
for the fairies? Aren't they traditionally named after women? We
have fireworks going off here in ash Burdens. Is that
against the law this time of the year. I think
it's against the lord of cell. They're not to let
them off. It's winter, it's fine, the country's not tender dry.

(30:41):
That's the situation. People. Welcome to a hittle twelve of
you on a partake fairies And oh gosh, what is
that radio boss leaves in jeapess. I don't know who
that is. Oh well, get in touch with your took
on air. Here's a good article how to avoid shoulder

(31:01):
problems in midlife. According we did that whole thing sold
Frozen shoulders a quite interesting topic nine to nine oh
something else And I don't even know what people want
to say about this, if they want to say, but
I was really interested to read today that the New
Zealand has done a deal with the new Sydney Airport.

(31:21):
So the new Citney Airport is it's way out west,
so it's as far west as Penrith but down further.
And I don't know if that becomes as busy as
Sydney Airport, but I wonder if that was going to
fit in with your travels, if you're someone that goes
to Sydney from time to time, if that would make

(31:42):
more sense to you. I mean, Sydney's amazing because the
actual airport they've got, you have to say, is remarkably
close to the middle of town for a big city
like that works well. But they've gone out the west
and Sydney International, so I look at the map, would
be thirty k's inland but still in the middle of
the urban areas and there is a rail connection to it,

(32:03):
so it probably works quite well. So yeah, I mean
it must take it extraordinary planning to put aside that
much land for an airport. But that's opening quite soon
and in news it will be flying there three times
a week, and no doubt it will become a part
of people's So yeah, I just put out there that
had become you might have family out west, if that
had become part of your thing, that you behind if

(32:23):
you go into Katomba up to the Blue Mountains. So yeah,
and we're talking about the fairies and the earthquake. I
know that the earthquake might be a bit depressing for you,
but the Alpine far it'll happen, and it'll go off.
It'll really go off. I don't know how long they've
known that this is a real problem, but it's pretty
foremost in people's planning now for civil defense and stuff.

(32:48):
But you've got places that will really struggle, So there's that.
I wonder how they're going to get on with their places.
Just speaking about the bird Fluto, just chopping between conversations,
I wonder how they're going to get on with that
tide head where the royal albatross breeding because his web
came is in be heartbreaking if you're watching that and

(33:09):
they bring back bird flu with them. It's a fantastic
thing to go and see those birds. It was quite impressive.
I don't know if they get if they've given them
the vaccine. I hope they have, so you don't know
if they're worry there that that they're gonna get bird flu.
So also the yellow eye penguin, the whuhu. I think

(33:30):
Andy Burnham's also speaking tonight about what he's going to
a lout as his plans for Britain. Yeah, I think
that's about to happen. So he's about to make a speech,
So that's going to happen to anyway. I'll keep your
idea with the news about the court. If you've got
other news that's happening around the country, if I get
in touch, if you've got some information for me, it'd
be nice to hear from you tonight before we head

(33:52):
into the weekend of Sport, which I'm looking forward to.
The otter at Irana Park has died. That's not Gin,
the otter that remember Gin. The order that escaped from
the Auckland Zoo and ended up at Devonport was a
big story for a while there. I don't know if
it'd got away. They just released it for a bit
of promotion, but yeah, that was big. Where's gin was

(34:13):
a big thing? So there's that also if you want
to mention that, like you, what would you say about that?
To be fair, probably nothing, But if you want to
talk on air, oh eight hundred eighty ten eight, if
you want to text nine to nine too, And a
lot of information coming out about that quake and why
it's got people on a high alert because it's throwing

(34:33):
a spotlight on the looming threat of the Alpine fault
which year, which could be a disaster that well, it
will be disaster for the South End. It could be
a disaster like they've never had before. I don't know
what the timelines or the core samples have shown about
when the last time it went off was, but it
could be due. So that's the plan if you want
to be in touch on air O eight hundred eighty
to ten eighty. A lot of texts I've read them

(34:55):
as I wait your calls tonight. Lefty Robert McIntyre's two
shots off the lead after the first round of the Open.
Look for Captain's Mistress, who started a career in Southend
doing the end of Dome tomorrow night.

Speaker 13 (35:08):
Well.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
By the way, the last Night of the Dogs is
only ten days away too, Marcus. Maybe they should name
one of the fairies the Dame Finna Cooper from Zana.
Just so you know you're coming in loud and clear
as I walk on the beach in the hot sun
and Lagos Portugal. If it's Lagos or Lagos, so well
done you, Marcus. With the bird flud, of the birds
will have to be vexated annually or only once in

(35:30):
a lifetime. I think they've got to be vexinted twice
in a year. That's why they're going to vexcate. The
birds are in captivity because obviously you couldn't catch all
the mutton birds and things and do them twice. You
couldn't identify them. My grandfather used to say, when the
alpine fault ruptures, that will break youse into four parts. Marcus,
after christ at you earthquake, my advice everyone needs to

(35:52):
rn a family sized tent and everything you need to
camp out, store food and water and a portaloo, and
you'll survive many weeks if you prep well. For me,
the real concern would be Queenstown. Because of anyone's stage,
you probably I've got ten fifteen thousand people. Just what
would you do with them? When the buildings will be
shickered and you've got all these people and they're not

(36:14):
at home, how do you get them back to home?
I don't know what it's going to start putting off
people going to Queenstown, but cheapest creepers, would you want
to be there in the gray and they reckon? There'll
be quakes down the lake too, because that's big and deep,
like water in a basin and slosh around. There's no
roads out. The gorge will clapse. The Devil's staircase, Well,
that'll be the that'll go into the into the lake.

(36:35):
How do you get the food in? You get floatplanes
landing in the lake. Have we still got big floatplanes
so that we have? I guess you just got to
kind of take all the food up to Kingston and
then put it on. We can't get a frigate in
there to use the UN's law. But you know, and
I have to admit guys that I'm probably not a
good person to be leading these discussions. Clam a catastrophizer,

(36:58):
I can take things in a negative direction, but yeah,
I do. It does worry me but you know people
that have come through the crow chich One, they're not.
It's not straightforward anyway. So there's some of the things
you can talk about to Oh, by the way, it
is the Friday free for all. I feel I've got
a bit of a serious vein going on. I was

(37:20):
talking about that the airport in West Sydney. Is that
going to work out for anyone visiting family all the time?
I'm just curious to if that was not anyone's Oh,
by the way, this day in nineteen fifty five, Disneyland opened. Yeah,
so oh yeah, I can't think of anywhere worse Disneyland.

(37:42):
But there we go. I shouldn't say that, but I have.
But yeah, I know that social media seems to have
I mean a lot of people seem to be content providers,
spend their whole time at Disneyland, sort of green reviews
and things. What's that about. I suppose it's very good publicity.
So you might want to mention that also tonight. So yeah,
it's all on anything you want to talk whether that's

(38:04):
the plan. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, I'll
mention the Odyssey because they reckon the movie. Christopher Noland's
movie is extraordinary. I just wonder if anyone's read the book.
I haven't, so that's something. So get in touch. My
name is Marcus, Welcome Headle twelve. Anything I just want
to talk about tonight. I'll keep you updated with the

(38:24):
news that happens tonight. Mone needs to be about ship,
ship's names and quakes. We've got sport tomorrow, a lot
of it. Yep, yes, So if you want to talk
about any of these things, that's the plan. And I
think Andy Burnham is speaking, Yeah, so I think he's

(38:49):
done his speech. It's a bit hard for me to
get the information about it now, but yeah, you might
want to talk about that too, So yeah, get in touch.
Marcus till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty, Teddy nineteen
thirding past nine second NRL match tonight is the Roosters
versus the Storm would be a good match set. The
orbit for a good matches will been quite close to

(39:09):
the last couple of weeks. That's exciting. But you be
in touch if you've got to be on a eight
hundred eighty ten eighty. It is the Friday free for all, Marcus.
We are lucky. The Prime Minister is named the Fairies.
Otherwise one would be the Marmite Sandwich, the others would
be the bottom feeder. Oh that's not fair, Marcus. The
Newfi Faery should be called the tim shad Bolt and
the Jewel's Top goodness yep. And someone else suggested the saying,

(39:32):
I don't know if you name boats after dead people.

Speaker 9 (39:34):
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
I've I've got no I've got no history on that.
Oh there was this, Sir Charles Upham. Wasn't there a frigate?

Speaker 11 (39:43):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
And someone said there should be a competition. But the
last competition to the name of boat it was ended
up being called bote mcboat face, didn't it? Which was good?
But the joke wore a bit thin after a while,
didn't it? Then everything called boat he mcbotie face. A
text I read The Odyssey. It's a hard read. Took
me a couple of months to work through it. The
articles I've read about reading the Odyssey is you really

(40:06):
need a pen and paper to write it all down
the diagrams. It's quite complicated. But they say the movie
is extraordinary. I think it's three hours and I hate
to say it because I know there's a lot of
fandom for Christopher Nolan at the moment, I went back
through all the movies that has made I don't know
that I've seen any which I felt kind of embarrassed

(40:27):
about because looks I might want to go and watch
some of those back movies. Anyway, if you want to
talk about this or anything else, that's a plan. Tonight
is the Friday Free for all, so there might be
something else you want to mention tonight. There's some other
topics you've got would like to hear from you. Yeah,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Oh thanks for that.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Dan.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Andy Burnham's speech will be at eleven eight our time PM.
This is just about him being made labor leader. He
becomes Prime Minister in a couple of days. Oh ke Stamma,
what a disasters run from me? You think probably could
have got to the end and God could have got
to the World Cup final, but nope. Michael Sewart's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 13 (41:11):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Thank you?

Speaker 8 (41:13):
God?

Speaker 14 (41:14):
Thank just calling up in regards to both name.

Speaker 8 (41:16):
Yeah, sure, yes, so I had a boat called Trinity.

Speaker 14 (41:22):
These are the most set of owned ion and catch
what we were you're talking about any sort of oath names.
But I just wanted to bring up saying a boat
called Trinity that we have owned, as well as a
boat called Kai hornpatter.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Wow, well yeah, why was it called Trinity?

Speaker 15 (41:38):
Oh not a why before I called to see what
cor and because I didn't know until tonight. And it
translates to be the exact multi word coihr patter is
not standard terms, but it combines coher, which is crossper
and horn putter, which means to explore or transverse.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Sounds like a perfect name. Michael, so appreciate that you've
got a bad lineman. Thanks so much for coming through.
Stephen and Marcus.

Speaker 7 (42:07):
Good evening market.

Speaker 16 (42:09):
You're just saying that they don't call ships out of
dead people cook and cook it both.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
There a very good point you've made, isn't it an
extremely good point?

Speaker 16 (42:17):
Well, while we're on shipping, may I say something about
the New Zealand last manned ship in New Zealand sailed
today out of Auckland, the Tree, the Love More. There's
no more New Zealand's cruise on any ships in New Zealand.

Speaker 11 (42:38):
Now what did so?

Speaker 3 (42:39):
What's the same of that ship, the Mawana Tree?

Speaker 16 (42:43):
She was a Pacifica and then they took it over by.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
Squire's Yeah I did read that, yeah, yep.

Speaker 16 (42:52):
And my brother he's he signed off today about forty
after about forty ideas at sea.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
It's heartbreaking a yep. So that what that was a
coastal ship that went from all Clinton Littleton with how
many crew?

Speaker 16 (43:14):
About twenty? I think?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Okay? And why did that not become viable? Because is
that now on international ship's routes they're coming to Bluff
and then Doneda and then Littleton, then Torong and then Auckland.
Is that the way it works? I believe, Yes, what's
happened to the ship?

Speaker 16 (43:30):
It's going to be drive dock in Asia to be
scraped because there's no there's no grind doc in New
Zealand that does any of that do a lot by
debarking and the buckling all that type of stuff.

Speaker 7 (43:48):
It's going up to Asia to get done.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
So it's at the end of its life, is it.

Speaker 8 (43:52):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
In my travels, I've been fortunate enough to meet quite
a number of New Zealand seamen that have worked on
coastal shipping and they're an extraordinary group of people. They've
got great stories. A great career for those people. It
must have been amazing.

Speaker 16 (44:10):
You met my dad a few years ago. Who was
that Milcolm Morrison boats on the inter Oland ferries.

Speaker 6 (44:17):
Yeah, my dad?

Speaker 10 (44:19):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (44:21):
And is your is your brother going to retire?

Speaker 11 (44:23):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (44:23):
Yeah, yeah. They're paying they're paying them out quite a
decent sort of a redundancy.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Type of thing, because I see all the I see
all the seamen we have in Bluff.

Speaker 7 (44:35):
And they're all you're all on the corner.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
They all look like they've got a tough light. You know,
they look like they've got a tough life, don't they.
I don't know how much they're paid. But they get
off there and they come along the rocks and they
fish and they do anything. But it looks like it's
looks like it's a tough life being I presume they're
only Filipino now.

Speaker 17 (44:51):
Are they well?

Speaker 11 (44:53):
Indian?

Speaker 16 (44:53):
Yeah, Indian Filipinos.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, but geez, some of them look like they've had
a tough time with it. Stephen, thank you for that information.
I appreciate that it's from a one A chief. It's
the last of the New Zealand crewde boats, which is
amazing really to think that we've got you know all
those trucks on the road, but we can't get a
local ship company working. You might want to comment on that.
Thanks for that, Stephen nineteen past nine. Oh, thank you

(45:18):
for that. My uncle Norman has just been knocked off
the Mowana Chief two. He was the chief cock. Not
bad for seventy six. Thanks for that. Sonia says, what
about the Sea Rider for a name? Yeah, I don't
know about the Sea Rider. Sounds like his name of
a jet ski. But do get in touch if you

(45:39):
want to talk about this MICUs. I'm from Liverpool in
the North of England. Particularly Liverpool has been denigrated again
against by the Tories right back to the eighties. So
I welcome Liverpool born Andy Burnham a number ten, a
man of the people, relatable and fort our corner and
fighting for the justice for the ninety seven who died

(45:59):
in Hillsborough. You think it was a big part of
his rise to powers about They don't fully know his
role than that, but he was someone that got that
sword and not justice. That appeared to be a huge
cover up. That was the I think the Hillsborough was
not the fire, but the crushing. I think it's the situation.
Oh by the way, footall score Cronulla doing a job

(46:21):
over Newcastle twenty to twelve. They've just scored again, so
I'll keep you updated with that. Twenty minutes left in
the second half. So yeah, this is Nico versus Kailin.
That's one of the great battles. And anything else you
want to mention talk about do that get in touch
here till twelve eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
nine text. It's twenty one past nine. Oh, I better

(46:44):
keep an eye on what's happening in Iran also, I
don't They've been bombing bridges and power stations, and don't
bring any more updates on that if I've got the
next There appears to be not much that you are.
US strikes on Iran reportedly hit airports and bridges, and
the IRGC the claims to have destroyed US fighter yet
stationed in Jordan. So that's happening also tonight. But if

(47:06):
you want to be on here evening, Geff, this is
Marc's welcoming.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
Good evening, Good Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Jeff?

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Hey, I'm just on the names of the fairies.

Speaker 11 (47:18):
Peacey.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I think we should stick with the original to reo
names cook and coupe scenes a bit. We had wonderful
names for inter Iso fairies back in the day. Why
he he ring a tearror and to me they just
sort of roll off the tug and then I'm not

(47:39):
Maldy myself. But yeah, I think it just gives it
a bit more bit more of a new zeal the field,
I guess. Yeah, I don't know what your thoughts are
on that.

Speaker 16 (47:50):
Well.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
The weird thing is that the weird thing for me
was that no one ever seemed to have a problem
with the names. I thought, probably Winston's just trying to
score up. I mean, maybe he's freaked out with Paul
Henry coming and wanting to try and make it he's
the Wope, the Wope buster or something. But he's he's
come across seeming a bit. It's come across seeming a
little bit out of touch. I think again, that's.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Sort of a bit of a stab at the Mali Party,
to be honest, But I don't know if that's the case.

Speaker 6 (48:17):
But just I don't think.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I don't think people like me in spiritedness and in
our members of parliament, they're probably expecting something a bit
more with a bit more Brevites.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Yeah, I just think it's more and you know, and
the other her and just really cool names. That's my opinion.
If you're talking about coastal boats, given you a history
of being a bit of a boat fan or an
old boat fan. Do you recall the two hion kak

(48:46):
just outside of christ Church.

Speaker 11 (48:48):
Yeah, it's boat.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
They spend a lot of money in time and restoring
that old thing, and it used to go. It used
to do trips up the Kayakoa.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
River, that's right.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
And one of my friends's father had a lot to
do with it, and they spent a lot of time
and effort and restoring everything. And they apparently they used
to go on old navigation for many many years and

(49:21):
then they changed it to like GPS and your purized navigation.
And that's apparently why I found it on the bar
at the way Mack Stupidly, I know that bar very well.
I used to fresh off it and it's taken a

(49:41):
lot of boats over the years, and apparently the salvage
crew really bugging things up and broke the back of
the thing and that was the end of that. And
it was a real shame to lose an old vessel
like that after.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
All that work into it, and the bar changes quite a.

Speaker 10 (49:59):
Bit, it does.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
It shifts around. Yeah, that's notorious. It's a big sand
bar where the confluence of the y Mat comes out
and the kai Koa River runs into it as well.
It's a great I don't know what it's like now,
but when we were kids it was a great place
to seemum fishing and kawaii. But it's a very dangerous

(50:25):
piece of water. You know, it shifts around. It's the
same bar, and it's very subject to tidal movements and yeah,
and there's a lot of boats that I remember when
I was a child, someone built a big flesh concrete
boat in top of her across the bar and then

(50:46):
this navigated and as I know, the thing's still buried
under the sein so.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
And its day. What sort of commercial vessels would go
over that bar. They'll just be flat bottomed scales, would they?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
Yeah, Well, the two ally is a flat bottom scout essentially,
or it was, and they go ride up. So they
called Kaipoi the rivertown essentially, and they've still got a
great fact or assign Kypoi the rivertown. So yeah, it

(51:19):
was sort of a bit of a trading route. I
guess it's what you call it. And I suspect that
it was sort of between possibly faery meat and you
know where they could get, you know, ferry meat to
Kyle Boy and Kypoy where either just going up whatever rivers.

(51:39):
But when I was a kid, we used to play
on that thing and it's set. It's set on the
bottom for years and years and years right up until
someone decided right this restore the old girl. Yeah, quite fascinating,
Ye not.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Tear from you, Jip, thanks so much. They keep your
calls and texts coming through. Twenty to twelve dollar over
Newcastle kept this challenge on the over thirteen minutes left
to go in that match. I keep those texts coming
through about boats and quakes, boats and quakes and anything
else that you've got tonight ahead of twelve obviously Friday
Free for All. Jim will be along at midnight. It's

(52:15):
Jim ay yep. Why are our leaders such antagonizes? What
types of role models are they when they teach our
kids to bicker back and forth? We need a big change,
and you Zeeland Politics, thank you for that. It does
make me wonder why they've civil offenses, so keen to
have relationships with radio stations and things like that. If

(52:38):
they've got people saying that they're going to have common
sense and just do what you want, that's crazy. So yeah,
I don't agree with that at all. They need to
have a website that works. It's embarrassing that they didn't,
and embarrassing that the map was wrong as well, was
a cluster. And you know, I think every time we
have a quake or a situation, it's going to be
a different problem. Last time in christ Church it was

(52:58):
landlines and people. You know, it was money, machines and
cash and fuel. Next time it'll probably be something quite different,
but there will be problems. We want to try and
on them out as much as we can. By the way,
in the UK, they have banned energy drinks for people
under sixteen. I haven't. I haven't noticed children wanting or

(53:19):
pestering to drink energy. Don't even think I know what
they are. Do they know they're not allowed them at school?
But yeah, I don't necessarily know that. We did another
band for that, your energy drinks? Would you want to
ban energy drinks? I don't know about that. I think no,
I mean, who drinks, energy drinks, rufers, tradees, it's about all.
Oh well, Pauline, its Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 18 (53:38):
Hello Marcus. I just want to thank you so much
for the last couple of days when those eruptions were
happening down in the South Island and you were talking
to us on the program. It was very reassuring to
hear your voice.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Thank you. I wouldn't call them eruptions, I'd call them
what would I call them? Quakes?

Speaker 19 (54:02):
Maybe quakes?

Speaker 18 (54:03):
I lost the word for the moment, right, Yes, I
want you to know that having you there and speaking
to us is really really important. So whether or not
the technology goes down for the government or what have you,
having you there as the backstop is wonderful. So thank

(54:25):
you so much.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
You were you in the quake area, Pauline.

Speaker 18 (54:29):
I was in Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, near Metan at the time,
and I felt nothing.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Okay, yeah, okay, Pauline, thanks for that. Yeah. What was
difficult for me was that I had all I needed
to know. I had the quake, I'd felt it, so
it was it like I was broadcasting from Aukurne. I
knew when it happened. I could announce it straight away.
Immediately people could ring up and say what had happened
for them, So instantly we had people from right round

(54:55):
the South Island reporting it and saying what the quake was.
The one missing bit was any information from the officials,
and it was really rare. And then when we did
get information and we're told to go to the webs
the website crashed and then the map was wrong. So
it was embarrassing from my point of view because the
first thing I should have said when I saw it
was in the MIF. I should have said, well, look,

(55:15):
we're gonna have to work out if there needs to
be an evacuation for a tsunami. Fortunately it was the
most remote unoccupied part of the country. But next time
it could be quite different. Next time it could be
at the Solander Island and Riverton and Bluff and are
a poky of vulnerable and we will need to evacuate
people without much notice. So yeah, I think And I

(55:35):
heard Mark Mitchell on the raid to day and I
don't think he was across it. He does that all
sort of that, you know, oh, you know, if be fine,
But yeah, I don't think it was fine. That was embarrassing.
We're a country that's built on a fault line. That's
literally us anyway. But thank you Pauline twenty five to ten. Yeah,
I don't be too outraged, but it was pretty slack.

(55:57):
And someone says, so why do they have a website
for alert if they don't want us to rely on them?
Have they not sure on themselves as people you look
for you. It's crazy to try and back out of
it and say, oh, it's not one important. They're just
trying to cover up. It's embarrassing. There's a going on
the radio this morning and say what you've got to
do is you've got to actually be self reliant. They've
told us the whole thing, we've got these whole alerts
on our phones and sirens. If it's the whole time

(56:18):
telling us that's what we need to do. Now they're
trying to tell us that, no, that's not the message.
You've got to follow your own advice. I think the
long and strong get Gone one is good though. I
think that's a good kind of if it goes for
a minute, you want to get out of there. That
seems to be the Mantra and energy drink band that
might be something else you can mention tonight Marcus till midnight.

Speaker 11 (56:37):
That is me.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Be in touch if you want to. Here'll twelve. We've
got Andy Burnham's speech that's at eleven o eight tonight.
He's going to set down his plans.

Speaker 8 (56:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
The other thing that is slightly interesting there is talk
now in Hamilton for them to open up their underground
railway station. It's Center Place shopping center, so they originally
had an underground station there and it's right in the
middle of town and they're looking at reopening it. And
they should because what I haven't told you told you
is a number of times I've caught to Huya from

(57:14):
Auckland to Hamilton and the train is fine, but where
it lands, lands stops and Hamilton is a total embarrassment.
You just dumped in the middle of nowhere with families
kind of dragging their bags into town. It's a shaker.
So yeah, of course they should take it right into
the middle. And I can't believe they haven't done that.

(57:35):
So watch the space thought that was a very very
good idea. Of course they should be doing that. It's
enough for me. Get in touch if you want to talk.
It's twenty three away from ten o'clock twenty one away
from ten Patricians Marcus. Good evening, Oh, yes, good evening.

Speaker 8 (57:50):
Just a couple of names I've just thought of. One's
called Tu Namu. It means precious jewel.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
Yes, and another one was Spirit of the Lake.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Wow, tell me about Spirit of the lake.

Speaker 14 (58:04):
Spirit of the lake?

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Yes? Me about how come that's a good name?

Speaker 8 (58:08):
I just thought of it?

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Actually, Okay, how about spirit of this Because it's the
only reason I say that without trying to split here
is of course it's it's not on a lake. It's
on an ocean, isn't it. It's on a cook straight.

Speaker 8 (58:22):
Yeah, I realize that.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Yeah, yeah, you're no good. I like that Spirit of
the Lake. How you like Spirit of the lake? Get
in touch? That's Spirit of the lake. Headle twelve, one
of us. Make sure a big fight of the league.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Dom Young seems to be up for trouble. Give me
a bit of a look at this. A fight that's
gone off for about two minutes. It's the reef with
no here. He seems to be no nonsense. Been a
lot of biffrom the Rabia in the last couple of days.
Don't know what's going to go, and they're going to
send someone of the bin. No, just a penalty doesn't
look good. I'd go upstairs. Never look what went on
there for you. Foul play, penalty, foul play. They'll cack
twenty to twelve to Cranulla over Newcastle one hundred percent

(59:04):
of green Market. You need accurate and available information from
Civil Defense and Mount MORGANU the tsunami escape zone in
the mountain, which remains fenced off. I know where I
would be hitting earthquakes and the dams and simply taking
again a transistor radio on battery cycling Gabrin Hawk's Bay
power outage cap mobile towers which appeared to have no backup.
The other thing I mentioned last night and I went

(59:26):
back and checked those today that what happened after the
quake last night. And I don't want to be too
quake fixate. I'm saying that the guy, the only guy's
ever been through a quake. But what happened last night
is that straight after the quake, people posted shots on Facebook.
One was of the Clyde Dam collapsed and one was

(59:46):
of the Herriot Pub collapsed. So people bored and drunk.
I would imagine or mischievous. He got on AI and
generated pictures of major infrastructure that have been destroyed by
the quake and then posted those. What sort of idiot
during a quake would post miss information is that Russians?

(01:00:09):
This in crazy to me. There was an Alexander Facebook
page and quite rightly the person was taken to town.
But they should be they should be banned from the group.
They're probably the moderator. They's how you wheeld the power
now in small community. Has been the moderator seventeen to
ten here to the end. One of is Marcus welcome,
be in touch. Also energy drinks. They are banning those

(01:00:31):
in England, but they're going to be the fittest race
in the world soon. They've got the sugar texts, they've
got everything now no energy drinks. When was the last
time I brought an energy drink? A long long time ago.
Out of all the drinks you could buy, I think
energy drink would be the worst drink to buy. The
terrible taste too, isn't it? Seventeen to ten, fifteen to ten, Craig,

(01:00:55):
it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:00:55):
Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:00:57):
How's it going good?

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Thanks Craig.

Speaker 7 (01:00:59):
I had to disagree with you about the train thing situation.
I've used the train to Aalkland and it stops out
of the bay out of Trapper straight there and there's
heaps of parking. Plus also they have two bus services,
have an orbited bus. It goes from there and goes
around the different subways clockwise, one goes inty clockwise, and
there's also a comic bus that goes straight into the
bus ciml in town. Whereas if you go to Center

(01:01:21):
Place best you have to clean up all the graffiti
under there, but then you've got to walk with your
suitcases if you're taking the bus two hundred meters from
Cinaplace up the road to the bus terminal Prens Station, actually.

Speaker 10 (01:01:30):
Catch a bus.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
So what's the where's the train go from Auckland too.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
Goes out to the base of trapper An.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
It's an Auckland to Hamilton train, isn't it?

Speaker 17 (01:01:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Yeah, yeah it should good as it's terrible getting off
there at fair you just felt in the middle of
Noma is terrible. One of the most soulless, unwelcome.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
You mean you mean the Franklin Trenton train station.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
I don't even know what was the end of the
line where it turned around. I was ashamed.

Speaker 7 (01:01:57):
Ah, yeah, where you can get off at the base
Boo shopping center outa there and there's.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Idn't want to go. I didn't want to get off
of them. I didn't want to get off the base.
I want to go to Hamilton. I don't want to
get it. I don't want to outstairs Hamilton and get
a bus.

Speaker 7 (01:02:12):
Okay, Well, if you go to Hamilton train station, it's
a bit of a it's a bit of a hole.
It's like nineteen thirties technology. Plus they had a nice
grass reserve on one side. It was now tended into
a subdivision. Yeah, but yeah, the centerplace ones they came.
But if you were catching the bus from here to
you to another subway. But it's a bit of a hight,
whereas if you get dropped off the base, you've only
got to walk a few and three meters from there

(01:02:32):
to the to the bus service that goes every so
many months, and a surf around Hamilton. So I found
it quite useful.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Yeah, and I didn't want to get a train in
a bus. I want to get the train into the
middle of Hamilton. I mean that that need to clean
that up. Obviously there's graffiti there there, But they've got
a train station an underground in the middle of town.
You'd want to embrace that, wouldn't you.

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
Oh yep. They used it for a while and then
no one bothered using it. That's why I closed down
and never got used that much.

Speaker 10 (01:02:54):
But it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
An things have changed, haven't they.

Speaker 7 (01:02:59):
Well, yeah, you have to get rid of all the
myth dealers and the homeless people and the graffiti to
tie it up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
But how does that make make you fail? With the
myth myth dealers and everywhere there in Hamilton? Are you shamed?

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
Well, I guess they've got to be somewhere. But it's
not good anyway, It's not It's not the nicest thing
to happen. But yeah, I guess you know, you're always
going to have those people around the place finding somewhere
to go.

Speaker 5 (01:03:21):
So it's just an other.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Meth dealers living underground there.

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
Yeah, they quite often get chased out from the police
because I did a lot of work with the police
with their maintena and stuff, and they quite often sitting
in offices and they have to shut the whole line
down and go there and chase them out and they
just come back again. So yeah, I don't know where
they go then, but yeah it's gone downhill. They're quite
often quite a lot down the heat to Prafiti down
there as well, so they need to do some clean up.

(01:03:46):
But as long as people start using it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Again, what sort of graffiti, what's it saying?

Speaker 7 (01:03:51):
A lot of them I can't really say on here.
Some of the words, a lot of it's are directed
towards the government and goodness all that sort of stuff.
But I suppose if they opened up that then they
could always then you catch a trainer there, or why
not carry on the train from that terminal, carry all
the way across and get to the next stup and
then get to the next place, which could be.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Mindful, brilliant. Liking it, Craig, thanks so much for that.

Speaker 8 (01:04:13):
Oh eight.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
Cronulla tween y ucast eighteen marcaut. I used to drink
v back in the day. The last time I had
a big can it took me two hours to drink
and I was wide for eight days. Now only have
a shot a red bull with a shot of the
ken if having a birthday, Pudy made so I manage
to stay up past ten. Someone sait on Facebook posters
of misinformation should be tracked down and prosecuted. Yep, don't disagree.

(01:04:38):
Send them to jail. What are you in for? I
did a bad post. It's not really going to work,
is it. But you put them on home We couldn't
put them on home detention because they'd have the computer,
wouldn't they tap tap tap. What you want to do
is you want to put them on You want to
put them on a cell phone band or a laptop.
Ban seven from ten people. And I'm just ambling into

(01:05:03):
my weekend, big weekend. We've got kids rugby at Audity.
Then we've got the basketball, the last home match for
the Sharks versus Hawk's Bay Easy Beats. Then we've got
the rugby, haven't we? Then the Warriors. The football said
that Sunday morning, it's gonna be exciting our weekend. So
that's that planned freezing today when I left Bluff, freezing

(01:05:27):
beautiful morning. When it cut up rough one of those
things when you're out chopping the kidney and think jeep ist, creepers,
because normally when you chop the kidney and just out
quite quickly to do it you don't get all dressed up.
But I should have should have rugged up. That's my
boring story about the firewood. Then a fairly competitive game
of scrabble yep, which I won. I got I got

(01:05:47):
a type of rice. What's that rice called? What's the
type of rice? I got a seven letter word with that,
which I was quite pleased about. Ar boreoe got arboreo.
I mean bad letters, but I got it in got
ninety or something. Thought it not often you get a
seven letter at ten than medium grain rice. So that

(01:06:08):
was good. That was my highlight for the day, getting
a boreo. I think I got another sevenyar word, but
I can't remember what it was anyway now. And that's
that's the end of the holidays, yay. So that's that done.
It's the second of the year over out of the way.
One more and then it's Christmas. So yes, that's that anyway.

(01:06:29):
If you want to be a part of the show,
good text. If you want to, oh, by the way, Disneyland,
hang on their sick, just talk about yourself.

Speaker 11 (01:06:37):
Just hang on, I'll be I.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
Just got my phone on charge. I had to go
and get it. Yeah, I want to talk if anyone's
going to be interesting Disneyland stories to talk about. If
you're an interesting Disneyland story to talk about, I'm all
about Disneyland. But the reason I went to get my phone,
which I thought was important, because having a look at
Facebook before I came to work, And funny enough, I

(01:07:07):
was watching a video on Facebook about Disneyland from a
group of influences called this is what the Internet's become
plus size park Hoppers, which is women plus size women
go to theme parks and review which ones have roller

(01:07:31):
coasters they fit into. Funny on world, it's become, isn't it.
I seem to have a time, and they've become influencers.
They seem to be they'd gone to Dollywood and Disney
and all these places that pay them to go and
see what roller coasters they can ride on, and that's
like they're on to cruisers and anyway, goodness may the

(01:07:51):
number of Facebook pages there are plus size park hoppers
and they review all the food where they go, like
it Dollywood.

Speaker 13 (01:08:00):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
I thought it was interesting get in touch with you
on took about this or anything else. Disneyland opened in
nine ten fifty five was Orange Groves now it's mainly
car parks. We didn't see much of Los Angeles at
the World Cup. Did because they get their Olympics, aren't they?
There was always a great panic how the transport system

(01:08:23):
is going to work there for that World Cup Finals
seven and Monday. Thank you for that. Oh he hasn't
a really good important text. Misinformation posters cause a double whammy.
It could engineer a panic for those below the damn
and apathy and qui wealth syndrome when the warnings are real.
Track them down and make them wear a sandwich board.

(01:08:44):
Stay in their stupidity. Be a great thing. I am stupid,
but it's me. It's a stupid thing to do. Sydney
Melbourne's second league game for no. I'll keep you posted.
I'll get a second cup of coffee for me. I'll
need that tonight and be in touch if you're a
talk kettil twelve o'clock tonight at six past ten. Let's
call that ten oh six. I've seen some callouts throughout

(01:09:07):
the week for truck drivers about how the new road
is south of Kakota. There arepairs. You might have some
information about that. Because it's been ten days since the
big rain. The other thing I haven't mentioned tonight, We
are collecting smeg at knive stickers for our listener from
Mark from Mark from Cambridge. So if you've got any

(01:09:32):
smag stickers, post them to us. You can see their
dress on the website or the Facebook page. And Marcus
lush Nights. I did get some. I got one stick
that I brought that chocolate looks fantastic in the packet,
very forgettable, horrible. It's not chocolate. It's just this green
sweet kind of it looks great at the bar. But yeah,
avoid that, give that one the swerve. Don't for the

(01:09:54):
trap for the trap like I did. Disneyland Stories nineteen
fifty five that open. If you got a story there,
good Now I'm here till twelve. You've got to be
a part of it. Eight hundred eight and nine to
nine two to text, So hitdle twelve o'clock. Anything else
you want to talk about. That's the plan. And we've

(01:10:16):
talked about preparedness for the big quake when that happens,
and they call that AF eight Alpine Fault eight, and
I think we've got a bit of a starter for
that last night because it was a small quake that
was felt right widely around the South Island. So yes,
if you've got something to say about that, did come
through it. But look, it's your show. Anything goes Hittle
twelve o'clock tonight, so yep, Thy nineteen ninety to text

(01:10:41):
anything else you want to mention. I'd like to hear
from you about that. So there might be your own
topic you've got tonight. I'm kind of excited that there
might be something that happens at Eden Park on Saturday
night after the curse. Wouldn't mind that lifted, not the curse,
the cauldron or whatever. I get sick of it, and

(01:11:01):
I think it must be bad for the players having
to be beaten there for so long. Yeah, I like Ireland.
I don't know they're going to beat the old decks,
but it should be a crack of a game. That's
the main thing. David. It's Marcus welcoming.

Speaker 11 (01:11:14):
Good evening, Hi, Marcus. Strange story and quite funny really,
and you know, not normally a talk back topic. I
wouldn't have thought Facebook, but you bought it up before
the news and I was recently disabled. I've been on
Facebook and Instagram for about ten years and I had
one rule always had one rule in there, and that

(01:11:36):
I would never write anything that I wouldn't say to
someone's face. So sixth of July, at eleven forty eight am,
I received a note saying that there was a security
breach and I should reset my password, and I reset it,
and a couple of months later I was informed I

(01:11:58):
reached the terms of the agreement and an account have
been disabled. Well, that's all right, that's my personal account.
But also have a business called the Old or from
Post Office, which is luxury accommodation my wife and I run,
and I mean I hadn't looked recently the last couple
of days. It's still floating there. So they deleted me

(01:12:19):
and I can't administer this business, which still I think
it's still drifting around on Facebook. Pretty strange.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
Why do they delete you?

Speaker 11 (01:12:32):
I breached the terms of service and that's all I
can get. And you know, I've had AI write me letters,
and I've written letters and I sat round by registered
post to Ireland. I've also you know, you have to
hunt around to find where you can appeal. But I
did find a couple of places where you can drop

(01:12:53):
appeals to Meta and to Facebook. But no, no, no,
I had no word from them.

Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
Do you know what?

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
Did you know what you've done?

Speaker 6 (01:13:01):
David?

Speaker 11 (01:13:02):
Well, it just said I breached the terms of service.
That's you know, I've got it on my phone.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
You gone drunk? You ain't got drunken written rude stuff
or anything?

Speaker 11 (01:13:12):
Had you? No?

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Not me?

Speaker 8 (01:13:15):
No.

Speaker 11 (01:13:18):
I mean I've got opinions, but I don't express opinions.
Okay strongly, but you know, as I said, it's like
talking face to face to people. You don't say things
unless you're going to prepared to you know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Is that bad for your business? That the that you
can't access the elth And Post Office?

Speaker 11 (01:13:38):
Well, that's that's a strange one, isn't it. I mean, yes,
I have had it. We've had a little bit of
business through there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Most of our business comes through agencies or people directly.

Speaker 11 (01:13:49):
Really.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
But but you could rename the Facebook account, couldn't you.

Speaker 11 (01:13:54):
I could go and build myself another one, but I
probably like yourself up. You know, the advertise advertising things
on Facebook. If you've noticed, I've bought the odd thing
now and then and it's come degraded. They don't you know,
here we go, I'm going to defame them now. But
I mean they don't oversee their advertisers at all.

Speaker 10 (01:14:14):
No, you'd be aware of that.

Speaker 11 (01:14:16):
Yeah, you know, don't let anything.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
On really absolutely. I think I think I think it's
the I think it's the death retle for Facebook. I
mean I think people are him. I mean, it's it's
just slop. That's horrible.

Speaker 11 (01:14:27):
It is, isn't it. The advertising is terrible. It's a
lack of and the AI and all of it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
So yeah, they haven't predicted. They haven't. They haven't persevered
what they needed to do, which was the quality and
the engagement. But yeah, David good story, thank you, Ricketts,
Marcus Good evening, Hey.

Speaker 19 (01:14:44):
Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):

Rick Good Good. We're driving up from Levin for our
normal Warriors trips. So yeah, heading up to Auckland tonight.
So watching the wires tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
So Penrith lost last night.

Speaker 19 (01:15:04):
Yes, yes, good old broncos about time they had to win.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Well, about time that they've come right some players, some
of their players are of injury. They look good.

Speaker 19 (01:15:12):
Yeah, yeah, and it's about time. Reese Walsh sort of
stood back up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Yeah, he's a bit mercurial, isn't it. I can't quite
work out what's going on with him. It was a
very good game tonight too between Crinulla and new Cars.
That looked great. So you've missed that. That was a
you know, because I mean Caitlin and Nico my two favorites,
so they were there, heavy, good chat after the match.
So the Warriors will the Warriors will spec the Dragons.
But we do fall over with both you teams, don't we.

Speaker 19 (01:15:37):
We do unfortunately. Yeah, it's it's a thing that worries us.
But yeah, I mean we've got a few. We've got
the Origin boys back, so I'm hoping.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
Mitchell Barnet, Mitchell Barnett, Kirk Caple's playing. We've got tamed
to a peaky he's been the great discovery this year.
I mean he's been for a pocket roll. He's been
unbelievable for a little man. Yeah, yeah, AKP's there, Can Perreira,
so he'll be good. Chell there, Martin. It looks good.
And of course James Fisher Harris. They're calling him the

(01:16:08):
best forward in the NRAL this year.

Speaker 19 (01:16:10):
He's looking pretty impressive. He's really Yeah, he's really doing
well this year. And yeah last year was a bit quieter,
but this year he's doing really well, and I see
Gallon's back on the wing as well, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
And interestingly enough, the Irish coach has been with them
this week.

Speaker 19 (01:16:28):
Yeah, I did see that in the news.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
He was a great I forgot. I didn't realize that
he was a great rugby league player before he became
a rugby union player.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
And a coach, So okay, I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Well, he played for Britain when he was eighteen, and
he's played with Dane bell and all that. You know,
he's because a lot of those in the early days
when a lot of the Wigan players came up, and
I think John Money was his coach as well, so
he's had a lot of He's got a lot of
connections with all those guys.

Speaker 6 (01:16:53):
So yeah, yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:16:56):
Anyway, and the Roosters game at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
Four nil Sydney over Melbourne, Okay, I haven't really seen
much of it. Yeah, Melbourne just doesn't seem I mean
we watched the game last weekend and Bellamy walked out
of the coach's box about five times.

Speaker 8 (01:17:13):
You know, just.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
Someone's going to fire him just for his own sake,
because he is That's unbelievable watching him come and go
like that.

Speaker 7 (01:17:21):
So yeah, a few things.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
Yeah, yeah, do you have accommodation, Rick.

Speaker 19 (01:17:27):
Oh, we stay at my sister in laws.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
So yeah, so how have a commitment and you come
up twelve times a year?

Speaker 19 (01:17:35):
Oh no, where this is about our fourth or first game?
I think yes, And then we'll try and you know,
we'll try and get some finals if we can. But
I imagine they'll sell that pretty quick.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
I see Joey Johns is preticting that you're worries to
be in the Grand Final. But it's uvery jam packed.
There's only what you know. You can lose a couple
on the trot and you can go from second to seven.
That seems very very tight this year.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:17:59):
If the Roosters went tonight and we lost tomorrow, that
leaped from us. So yeah, it's very tight at the top.
Yeah yeah, well yeah, that fingers grass will be good.
And then I'll watch your blacks on the phone while
we're sitting at the Warriors, so I'll have it covered.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
Yes, Well, that's the thing, isn't It's amazing how good
the sport is on the phone, isn't it? Because it
gives you enough and the same the all blacks of
the Warriors at the same time.

Speaker 19 (01:18:25):
Are they Warriors are at seven thirty? I think the
All Blacks kick off at seven ten seven.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
It is we've got because we go to the Southland
Sharks the basketball, but that's been brought four to four
o'clock and I presume that's because of the rugby. So
we've got club rugby, we've got the bluff Port and
then we've got the basketball. Then we'll have the rugby.
So that's the way to work. Will you will you
get up for the football?

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Rick?

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
Will you watch the World Cup Final on Monday morning?

Speaker 11 (01:18:54):
Ah?

Speaker 19 (01:18:54):
Yeah, I watched it at work. I think it's on
at seven. So we're going to have a barbecue and
that for the for the customers that come in and
watch it on the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
So yeah, is it like is it like a hardware
store or something?

Speaker 19 (01:19:04):
Yeah, your plumbing store.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Yeah yeah, Well they'd come and they turned up early
for a barbecue.

Speaker 19 (01:19:10):
Oh yeah, definitely anything free. They'll tune up.

Speaker 11 (01:19:14):
Really yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
So what would you give them a coffee as well?
Or you just put the sausages on the barbecue.

Speaker 19 (01:19:22):
You know, we got coffee machine. Yeah, they get looked
after the plum.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
It's all about loyalty, isn't it? Because you get them
and the and there's there's there most towns, whatever choice
of where the plumbers could go, qu wouldn't they? So
you want to get them loyal to you?

Speaker 11 (01:19:35):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
So brilliant? Oh yeah, well, well recognized to talk to you, brilliant.

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
That's wreck up for the warriors from Levin. It's been
an eight hour drive? Would it be four nil? By
the way, the roosters have a Melbourne. Get in touch
if you want to talk Marcus till midnight? The best
suggestions so far Marcus the tooth Fairy. It's a really
good name, that, isn't it. It works to put jaws
on the front of it. The tooth fairy too. Names

(01:20:02):
for the fairy because Winston's did they spread for headlines.
It's going to be interesting what's going to happen with
the poles? That will happen with the I don't think
they're going to move as much as people think, but
we shall wait and see. But be in touch. You
want to talk, Oh eight hundred eighty ten, eady, you've

(01:20:23):
got any breaking usually us know what's going on? Anything
else you want to talk about? Jump in there. Have
you say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two
nine two detect markets till twelve and yeah, AI fake
postings during disasters. That's what we've been talking about, and

(01:20:43):

else to be worried about those wildfires in Canada. I'm
ready to there's such the biggest forests in the world,
and they reckon soon. Once they get going, they won't
be able to stop them because it's going to get
the stage where you can't put them out. And because
it's dry and they've got disease and they've got boring
stuff into the trees, they've become more flammable than they've

(01:21:03):
ever been before. So welcome into the future. Anyway, Enough
for me, Enough misery. Nineteen past ten, twenty one past ten,
Jordiet's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:21:13):
Good evening, Hey Marcus, how's it going good?

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Thank you yourself?

Speaker 10 (01:21:16):
Good?

Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Thanks.

Speaker 13 (01:21:18):
I'm just ringing in. I'm wondering if you know what's
going on in Commercial Bay in Auckland this evening. There's
about a million people on bicycles biking around.

Speaker 8 (01:21:28):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (01:21:31):
I appreciate you're not in Auckland, but no, no, I
am in Auckland. Then I can't figure it out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Is it some sort of bicycle awareness thing?

Speaker 13 (01:21:40):
Perhaps, I'm not sure. There's just a massive crowd of
people riding bikes around Bredemer.

Speaker 7 (01:21:48):
Commercial Bay.

Speaker 13 (01:21:51):
And I don't know why. And I'm not talking like ten,
I'm talking like a couple hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
Did you think of asking any of them?

Speaker 4 (01:21:59):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:22:01):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
It sounds like it's a mess bike ride. But while
they be doing it at night, I'm not sure. Okay,
how long ago was it happening?

Speaker 13 (01:22:10):
Oh, the last hour or so.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
Because they're still there, so they're running around in that
square and just going round and round.

Speaker 13 (01:22:16):
Yeah right, yeah, as no one else has no one
else squeered you on it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Well, they wouldn't query me. No, you're not involved yourself
in trying to like drum up some awareness, are you?

Speaker 4 (01:22:30):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:22:31):
No, no, however, no short answer. No, I'm just curious.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
What's what's the long answer?

Speaker 7 (01:22:38):
I also know.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
I'll tell you what I'll do, right, I'll tell you
what you know. The problem for me is what I
can't google up because I don't know the name of
the square in front of the tree. Do you know
what it's called? It's called tame Titanga Square, So if
I googled that and bikes, that might tell me.

Speaker 13 (01:22:58):
Yeah. I tried googling myself and nothing, nothing, nothing, did
not results. Hence the phone call to you. I was
wondering if you if you may have had a had
a lead for information. But I apologize. I've really got nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
Other to add, you know, and I think it's good
to wonder. Sometimes you see what's going on there that
looks exciting. A bit of that and are they adults, yes, adults?

Speaker 13 (01:23:30):
A arrange a range, a range of bike riders. Some
of the had what looked like Christmas lights attached to them,
sort of flashing and fluorescent lights.

Speaker 7 (01:23:44):
I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (01:23:44):
I'm sure why I've got a bit of phobo. That's
something I'd like to be doing, biking around the square
of a Friday evening.

Speaker 13 (01:23:50):
It was like a swarm markers. I felt like it
was like a swarm of bike riders.

Speaker 3 (01:23:56):
I'll look into it. Thank you, Jordie, twenty five past
ten o'clock. By the way, back to the quake, the
best story of about the quake I heard today was
one woman, an Invert Cargol. During the quake, she was
singing on top of the bus in Priscilla the musical

(01:24:20):
in the Invert Cargol Civic Theater. Unfortunately, for the sake
of the story, she felt nothing. But I thought, well,
that's a good that's a good anecdote. But there we go.

Speaker 10 (01:24:29):
So that is that?

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
That is the anyone could tell? Oh, let's just check
the text. Dreak and Journey might have been trying to
I don't know. Someone says it's a trend for you
they got on organized rounds, but I think this was
I don't know if that would be that. It'll be
that gang market and I hope that disappeared, especially they're
doing wheelies and stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:24:49):
Marke.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
I understand the new theories will be named after the
two minor Coalition party eaters, Upei and Kroc Regards Owen,
there we go. If you want to talk about this
or anything else, it's twenty six past ten eighty twenty nine.
No would what the few knows what the cyclists are doing.

(01:25:09):
Oh so it might be one of those group rides.
Someone said, Mataiki night ride. Someone said was the Abot Narrowgo.
Lots of teens on bikes on queens are doing whillies
through the lights, intersections of pedestrians, pretty antisocial, wills interesting.
The boy races have been replaced with e bike races
fourteen or fifteen E bike sounds pretty exciting. I mean
it gives your autonomy. I think it would be a

(01:25:30):
bad thing at all, but yeah, get in touch and
if you want to be on air, that's even better.
I can't work out what it was. Oh, Matariki night
Ride bike Life Collective. That's what it says on the machine.
Get ready to light up your wheels for the Bike
Life Collective. Mataiki Night Ride Friday, July seventy many at

(01:25:53):
the Wynyard Basketball Area. Well as we'll loop through several
cases like Queens and Kananga, Happy Road and you and
giveaways in a party atmosphere. Bring your bike, bring your helmet,
a quip, proper lights, Bike Live Collective. So that seems
to be like a great night out. Good on them.
I actually will check the quakes to see if there's
been any big after shocks tonight too, just so I can.

(01:26:14):
We are talking about the big quake when that happens.
How people are feeling about the South Island. They call
it AF eight Alpine Fault eight. She's a Biggie. I
think he's a fifty percent chance having the next seventy
five years or seventy five percent charge the next fifty years.
I think that's it. A Warbrocks injured too. He looks

(01:26:34):
like he's going off in the golf cart. He's the
Warriors by for next year, so he might be a dud.
Looks like he's done his ankle. You know, after shocks recently,
you'll be pleased to know, although you probably would have
felt them anyway. Names for the fairies. No one seems
to be happy with Coupe and Cook also talking about
the quake or anything else that you want to come

(01:26:55):
through with, So be in touch eight hundred and eighty
to nine two nine to text Marcus till twelve. The
British Prime Minister in waiting will speak at eleven eight,
and that's his job to lay out what he's going
to do and also to show how he's going to
be different, how he's going to be different from Kiirstarma

(01:27:18):
who just didn't have the charisma. So there's that also
that'll happen. But yeah, that's enough for me. If you
want to talk, let's be hearing from you. Anything else
you want to talk about that to my plan here
till midnight tonight and England they've planned In England they've
banned the Harry Potter steam train excursion because of the

(01:27:38):
climate or it's too dry for a steam train, so
that's a worry. I think they would have converted that
to batteries by now what a lot of fair thing
around of steam trainers. Just check a couple of teslas
and there would be good to go, wouldn't you? Or
go solar? Wonder when the first solar train's going to
be a thing? Probably be quite good, wouldn't it. Just

(01:28:00):
thinking aloud, but get in touch three seving away from
eleven o'clock and Nell Sydney overmil But I'll keep you
updated with that. But if you want to talk on it,
that's my plan for you. Would be lovely to Disneyland
nineteen fifty five that opened. I don't know when news
ender started going. They're probably right away. Always seemed very
exotic when I was growing up, people off to Disneyland

(01:28:22):
on these days. I couldn't get anything worse weep, So
that's the plan. If you want to talk Marcus store
at notte do do do do do Do do now
what else can I spark you up with tonight? But
everyone want to be outraged about something. How is your
appetite for outrage tonight? I don't really want to wind
you up about anything. Of course, a trade with Switzerland

(01:28:43):
that Tony was talking about. Of course the in Nessley too,
they'll take a lot of our dairy product. I want
to mention one hundred and thirteen days to the general election,
and this day in nineteen fifty five Disneyland opened and
now they make an absolute fortune, and the movie The
Odyssey is opening soon. They reckon that is outstanding. Just
so you know, if you're thinking of giving them, I
think it's three hours. But yeah, maybe better off of

(01:29:05):
reading the book first. But the approbably difficult to read.
I've never actually come across the book. I think it
comes in all different forms. And I'm really unhappy that
they're saying now with the with the civil defense emergencies,
everyone's saying, you've got to take care of yourself, which
is why bother having a civil defense department. Then just
get it sorted out. They're kind of saying, don't rely

(01:29:27):
on it because technology will fail. It's just a website. Sure,
you can build a website. Oh oh boy, back at
your head of twelve twenty five to eleven twenty three,
away from eleven James, it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:29:39):
Good evening, Yeah, good evening, Marcus. Just as we went
to break, you said a comming. What's it on the
lines where we have to look after ourselves? If something
was said? Please? And who said that?

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
Yeah, civil Defense because their website went down last night
and they said you can't trust it. Just you know,
I don't know what they said, you can't trust information
just get out.

Speaker 8 (01:30:04):
Oh okay, we did that anyway. Yeah, we always have
and always will. We don't really need him, so.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
They've always they've always told us to rely on information alerts.
That's the weird thing they've focused on that. Now they've
done a one eighty.

Speaker 8 (01:30:18):
Yeah, somebody is talking to or done. Somebody's not doing
their job for for really, it's a convert and somebody
needs to sort it out and get somebody in there.

Speaker 6 (01:30:29):
They can do it.

Speaker 8 (01:30:31):
Yeah, are some really cool names for the boat the
Fiery by the way, Well, he's the supreme god of
the ocean. And I'm not sure if beout these names,
if they've been theories before. Just someone over young and
you know, I think that might have one or Papa

(01:30:54):
to Nuku in the Hannah Mowana Maori gods, all the
Maori gods all to do with the ocean and in life.

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
Yeah, appropriate, yep, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:31:08):
Can I jump onto this years please? I've been studying
it for the last month. I have three books in
front of me, three different authors and three different styles
of writing. And when I found out that the movie
was coming out, I was like, no way. And my

(01:31:29):
younger brother went to it last night and he couldn't
believe how long it was, but he said his eyes
were just stuck that whole three hours. He said, Man,
what an amazing can I just incredible?

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Can I just step back, James? What got you interested
in it?

Speaker 8 (01:31:47):
I went to sit in history and I started, Yeah,
I started reading about Socrates and Plato in it, and
I'm ours, you know Socrates, So just just.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
Back it up because it's been a long time. So
I've even thought about that. Who's the main character of
the Odysseys? Osseous okay, and he went to battle Homer.

Speaker 8 (01:32:19):
Homer also again Homer wrote wrote it. And Homer was
a great poet okay, and he was blind and he
wrote two poems called one called the Iliad and one
called the Odyssey. The Iliad tells us a story pretty
much about that movie of Troy, the movie Troy. Yep,

(01:32:40):
that's pretty much the Iliad. The second part, which is
a the Odyssey, is all about Adyseus and he fought
there at Troy, and a Dyseus wants to get home
to his lovely wife Penelope and his son, his young son.
And I'm still trying to get the tongue. You've got

(01:33:02):
to get the tongue. His name. Once you get the tongue,
get well, his name is. Anyway that he wants to
get home. Him and his soldiers finish off at the
battle which ended. It took ten years to destroy Troy,
so that could all go home. Long the ships are
heading home, and then all these massive disasters happened, right,

(01:33:27):
a big mess of storm. These giants involved, These are cyclops.
Now there cyclops. Keep some caps in for a while.
And he is actually the son of Prometheus. Yes, now
I've got to find the work. I've got already.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Get me, Margus, I reckon you should be are you
are you writing it all down as you're reading it?
Are you're doing a page of diagrams.

Speaker 8 (01:33:55):
I right, yeah, so I have to write everything down
because it sticks in your memory. But the giant that
gives child O the cyclops, he is the son of
one of the gods.

Speaker 17 (01:34:09):
And when the.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
Polypemous as the pit clubs, is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:34:14):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:34:15):
Yes, he gets killed by Odysseus. And when the god
as Dad finds it, starts frowing, you know, going nuts
and just makes the will go crazy with like volcanoes
and electric shocks and James in the.

Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
Book, Are we to believe that this movie will be
the ten year Journey Home?

Speaker 16 (01:34:36):
Is it what?

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
There's three our films going to be?

Speaker 8 (01:34:39):
Yes, twenty years it took to get home, okay, and
he does get home, but that just as the journey itself,
and you're really if you really get deep into it,
it's all there's a meaning, it's a mean behind every action,
every scene has been worth for you very much. So
I'm not even halfway through it all, and I've still

(01:35:01):
got a lot to go because it goes deeper and
being from homes like it goes into whomis than whom
He's is one of the gods. But see, like Greek
Greek philosophy mythology. It's exactly the same as Roman mythology.
The Romans took took the gods of the Greeks and

(01:35:24):
just change the names. Yeah, so Odysseus is also called Ulysseus.

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, James, will you very confusing?

Speaker 13 (01:35:33):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
You know, look, I'm excited that you're onto it, and
I appreciate you because I intend to get into it
to go and watch that. Will you wait till you
finish that? Or is it going to be weird for
you to see the movie halfway through? How are you
going to run it? Are you going to go see
the movie?

Speaker 4 (01:35:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
No, I don't need to No good answer.

Speaker 8 (01:35:48):
But when my brother got home Runta and he's explaining
to me, I couldn't easily see the pitches in my head,
so I didn't really need to.

Speaker 11 (01:35:55):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
Sure, it looks unbelievably visual. It looks amazing.

Speaker 8 (01:36:00):
He said, it was absolutely fantastic, the best movies ever seen.
And he's going again, we'll go He's going Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Yeah, I'll stay in touch, James. I'm pleased to hear
you doing that. To thank you for that. Thanks for
your sugestions on the ship too, fourteen to eleven. Here'll twelve.
My name's Marcus good Evening. Yeah, wow, I sort of remember.
I think we sort of. I think primary school we
sort of learned about Homer and the war and I've
never thought nothing of it since. And I don't really
know much about Christopher Nolan, and I know he did

(01:36:31):
Batman movies, but I was never really into those. So, yeah,
I realized he's one of the great cinema geniuses. I
didn't realize it already started. They say it's great if
you can said on a massive cinema and imax, it's
not gonna be as good to watch on your cell phone. Yeah,
so that's exciting that we've got people reading that. You're
gonna be a super fan to get into that. So

(01:36:54):
it's like getting into James Joyce. Be in touch if
you want to be part of the show. We've got
two birds. I was hearing Tony and the news is
out there in the main room, missing to Tony read
the news that said we have a second It was
like over over again, we have it. Now have a
second case of bird flu. So we've got to skew
up and they we've got a car who what do
you think's going to be next? Gott to just be

(01:37:16):
a skanky old seagull or something, but a skewer and
a seagull. By the way, I never thought they pronounced skerewers.
Sounds wrong, doesn't it be skewer? Sixteen fourteen, fourteen to eleven?
It's twelve from eleven. Jym stands along at twelve and
I'll be here until then. People now it is Friday,

(01:37:39):
Friday night. People doing different stuff and I'm happy about that.
And if there's stuff that you want to be doing
or you got to be talking about, and now's the
chance to do it, so you get in touch if
you want to talk on air. And the rugby tomorrow
could be quite a big deal. I don't know what
you want to say about that, but that'll start at
ten past seven. The Warrior starts at seven also, so

(01:38:01):
it's gonna be a big day of sport tomorrow. It's
going to be a big day for Auckland and that's happening.
So that's on tomorrow. But a lot appeal were switching
between the Warriors and the rugby Union, I would think.
And then Monday morning we've got the World Cup Final
we've got two bird flus. What do you think is
the next bird going? We shouldn't really doing a sweepstake.

(01:38:22):
It's too miserable, and I wonder what the next bird
will be. Seems to be birds that are sea birds
or birds that eat carry on Carriyon, Do do do?

Speaker 8 (01:38:31):
Do?

Speaker 4 (01:38:31):
Do?

Speaker 18 (01:38:31):
Do?

Speaker 13 (01:38:31):
Do?

Speaker 10 (01:38:33):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:38:33):
What does Chris text Marcus? I remember the previous summer
there were multiple times at extreme head alots were given
out of the news and telling people what to do.
Weirdly enough, the temperatures they were sca mongering the public
were and making hugely about we just ordering summer temperatures
that we grew up with in New Zealand. It's called summer. Ironically,
that's when you should take self response to the news
common sense. A large earthquake is different. Surely, cheers Chris.

(01:38:55):
Good text Chris. What's Chris is managed to do there?
As she's managed to say that civil defense aren't doing enough,
and she's also managed to get in there and says
temperature scare mongering, just ordinary summer temperatures, which is interesting.
And if you want to talk before the news, if
you're out and about doing something interesting, you might be
an uber drive. You might be a truck driver. What

(01:39:16):
else are you doing that's interesting? But be in touch
if you want to partake on air. I seem developed
a bit of a cough, so I apologize for that,
but yeah, that's the situation, and yeah, I have got
some I will get on to Lemon Honey too, So
I just waited. The ship's finished, get into my weekend.

(01:39:36):
That'll do it. The Prime Minister in waiting of England
will talk at eight past I won't take the speech,
but that, yeah, that's when he sets his way with
anything earth chattering there. I'll tell you about that. That's
going to be tonight at eight past eleven. New names
for the fairies. No one seems particularly enamored by what
Trump has come up, and so slip there what Winston

(01:39:59):
Peters has come up with. Coupe is one and the
other is cock. I think everyone's sort of kind of overwhelmed, sorry,
underwhelmed or overwhelmed, but doesn't seem that exciting. So you
might want to comment on that too. But yeah, eight
hundred eighty nine two nine two texts. You want to
be a part of it, anything else, I'm here for you.

(01:40:20):
Let's be hearing from you. So eight hundred and eighty
to eighty and nine to nine to the text, and
I look forward what you want to say tonight? So
and if there's other stuff, because clearly I've run out
of things to say. As I do on a Friday
sometimes it was all the excitement last night of the earthquake.
Didn't mean too exciting. But yeah, be in touch, Marcus.

(01:40:43):
Boys sitting here drinking spake cans on a Friday, how good, fantastic?
You want to be listened to? Talk me? They this
is some music, wouldn't you? Marcus the poles. Has anyone
you know been poled? I've never met such a one
seventy years, Michael the rowdy one. Thank you for that, Marcus.
I can't believe you're blessed for this comment about converting
a steam locomotive to electric. Well, I said to Sola, Marcus,

(01:41:07):
now is a time for botmic boat face. Thank you.
Watch the Odyssey last night, great movie, and the three
hours goes quickly. Fairy names and accord with last pre
election campaign. Not a Ferrari and atrona Corolla or windies
wak up one and two. So there we go. That's
what people are saying via text, and I'm looking forward
to you if you want to come through eight and

(01:41:27):
two half time. In the Rugby League, the Roosters over
the storm. The Melbourne team eight zero. So yes, the
Roosters haven't. Sorry, the Melbourne team haven't five this year
and don't they're likely to. As far as Trump's war
in the Middle East goes, You're right about me calling
it that the latest there. Iranian airport and bridges have

(01:41:50):
been hit and US forces have boarded a ship in
the ports blockade YEP and Iran's Ministry of Energy issued
a statement urging pield to reduce the electristy use to
help maintain supply to the southern provinces, which are facing
extreme heat and attacks on power infrastructure. The ministry suges
each family turn off the reconditioning for only one hour

(01:42:12):
during peak consumption hours. I'm sure that means to turn
it on, not off. That's what's happening there. So it's
a lively night of bombing and Kuwait says the power
and water desalination plant has been targeted in the Iranian attack,
and the Iran state media reports Juis attacks on bridges,
railway stations and the port Tower, so I'd say that

(01:42:36):
the ceasefire is well and truly over and a tanker
has been hit. So the latest for you there, Marcus.
The fairies name Jenny one and Jenny two. Has the
soccer final been played? I'm not if so who was
it and who won? I'm not near a computer, Paul.
It's free on TV one on Monday at seven pm.

(01:42:56):
It will be between Argentina and Spain. Marcus, can you
then change the names of the fairies of the government
changes be good? No more of Winging Winnie or Shane
Jones cheapest creepers. That would be freeing. Oh well, one
hundred and thirteen days. I think it's going to be
an exciting election. Bill Birch has died. I don't know

(01:43:19):
he was alive, but he's ninety two. He was a Knight,
Sir Bill Birch. Yep, it's a situation National Party Titan.
It's a survey originally survey and yep, dull speaker, but
an effective whip. There you go, dull speaker, effective whip.

(01:43:39):
You want to talk quickly?

Speaker 8 (01:43:40):
Die?

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
What have you got?

Speaker 8 (01:43:42):
I thought of Malanda, Marie Nice, the Murray and the
Marie for the tribute to John Rowls.

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
Yeah, be a nice name for fairy, wouldn't it. He's
still He's still alive. I think John Rowls, so wasn't he?

Speaker 5 (01:43:54):
I he died?

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
Did he?

Speaker 13 (01:43:56):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (01:43:57):
Actually, oh, they'd be devastating. Okay, well, thanks for information.
Still alive, pairent. According to Dan, he sings in songs
from Sens and Song from time to time. Interesting text
from Cedric is quite right, Marcus. The big question regarding
the hawk is what species of bird was a hawk eating?
To catch the bird flu? Three birds at least now

(01:44:18):
are the flu. That's right, Graham, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:44:22):
Oh look Marcus, first time caller.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
Graham. Yeah, hey, I tried to bring you the other night,
but come up to five o'clock and twelve o'clock and
so I missed out by talking to you. But I
gather tonight. The subject could be anything.

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
Absolutely, You're free to talk about whatever you're like.

Speaker 6 (01:44:42):
Yeah, Marcus, you were talking about racecourses and the starters
off with the Avondale racecourses and racecourses around New Zealand.
Now did you know that there was a racecourse in Coromandel?

Speaker 3 (01:44:58):
No, I don't think I did right.

Speaker 6 (01:45:02):
Of course, in the early days they clocked him by
the hundreds when the gold rush days, and of course
the carry was taken out of the land and up
the coast towards Colvill. The granite was being moved across
to Auckland. So it was a thriving place. And yeah,
they had a racecourse here. And I don't know what

(01:45:26):
year exactly it was, but in the late eighteen hundreds,
I think it was eighteen ninety five or there aroundabouts.
My grandfather came across from Auckland and he started up
a taxi business, and that was horse and cart and.

Speaker 16 (01:45:48):
What.

Speaker 6 (01:45:49):
On race day he would go down to the wharf
and they used to come across from Auckland by the
I gathered by the hundreds, and he would be down
there at the wharf with his horse and carts, many
of them, and he used to ferry them from the
wall into Coromandel Town and out to the racecourse. And

(01:46:15):
the story goes around that that that particular time he
had a real good payday and he made something like
eighty four pounds, which was a lot of money in
those days. So, yeah, there was a racecourse in Colmandel,
and I gather there was a racecourse up just north

(01:46:37):
of Colville, towards Port Jackson. I stand to be corrected
on that one, but I've heard there was one of these. Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Yeah, I haven't heard of that, but I suppose all
small communities would have them because it was such an
important version of socialization.

Speaker 6 (01:46:56):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
Would the horses come across or would there be horses
that were there?

Speaker 6 (01:47:03):
Initially he got his horses, bought a cross. Some of
his horses came across by boat, and that's how he
started off his initial taxi business with the horse and cart.

Speaker 11 (01:47:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
Yeah, like in later years, my parents actually moved to
a little place called Pupeu and you know you go
through Tickerwiddy to Pupie. Well, there was a racecourse there
just north of tick Awidy. The the actual building is
still there today and that's where the aerodrome is there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
Sure you don't know where the actual racecourse and Coramander was.

Speaker 6 (01:47:46):
Yes, yes, I do.

Speaker 10 (01:47:49):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:47:49):
I gather it was out what they call the Tickie
now just it was just north of the three oh
nine road and it was in on your right there
as you're approaching Coromandel township. Itself, and it's a place.

(01:48:11):
It's in an area where I think they grow orchards
or something like that. Now, that's I gather. I think
that's about where it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
Was on the left or the right, coming past the
three O nine on your right, because you've got on
your left, haven't you.

Speaker 6 (01:48:28):
That's correct, just before you go across the river, the
airstrip is on the left and you go across that
bridge and in up and.

Speaker 3 (01:48:37):
There on your right, I can see I can see
the orchards. Now there's a lot of there's a lot
of on Google Maps, there's a lot of tunnel houses
that look like there now and just yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:48:49):
Well, Marcus, I gather that's about where the racecourse was.

Speaker 3 (01:48:56):
Yeah, well, I guess all all you needed for a
racecourse was a bit a flat land and you put
stock on there to keep the grass down. You just
put a track in there and you'd fence it off,
and I guess it's quite straightforward.

Speaker 11 (01:49:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:49:08):
Well, of course in those days it was a big thing.
You know, everyone got dressed up to go to the races,
you know, m hmm. Yeah. But they came across that
the Hurricane golf into the Coromantal harbor. In those early days,
the wharf was just mainly made by rocks and put
in the center and and that was the wharf that

(01:49:31):
ran out.

Speaker 3 (01:49:32):
Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 11 (01:49:34):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:49:36):
My parents used to grace manage the islands out there
as you sort of hit and took the golf to
go across the work with manage them.

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
As far as what went. What would they do with
the islands? They would there would with the stock on them?

Speaker 6 (01:49:50):
Oh yeah, some of them were farmed. Okay, Meddi and Kopek.

Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
You're not farm now, are they?

Speaker 10 (01:49:58):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:49:59):
I didn't know.

Speaker 6 (01:49:59):
Yes, I still found to this day too much.

Speaker 11 (01:50:02):
Lie.

Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
There's a bit of land on them, isn't there? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:50:06):
Yeah, so that that was interesting. Like like I've said
to people, did you know there was a base case
from now? And I said, well, here was an actual fact.
My grandfather he had the taxi service at that stage,
and my grandmother was on the actual racing committee.

Speaker 3 (01:50:26):
And you don't know whether the trek was at Colville, No.

Speaker 6 (01:50:31):
But it was on the Port Jackson side, ye, just
north of Colville. I think it was sort of If
it was north of Colvial, it had to be in
there somewhere going up towards Port Jackson, towards maybe the

(01:50:54):
Granite Wolf in there somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:50:57):
I'm just thinking it's been too long since I've been
up there. Actually, as soon as I've whar'd you say, Covill,
What a remarkable the country there, that's sparticular up there.

Speaker 6 (01:51:05):
So you've been the per amental much Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Yeah, but not probably we'd go there recently. We had
friends that would stay with round Ah, I just I
think where it actually was a round Waikwa Bay, but
up the river up yeah, and went there.

Speaker 6 (01:51:24):
That's that's that's where the family farmed up there as well.

Speaker 3 (01:51:28):
Sure. Yeah, I'd like to get back up there actually.
So do you haven't funny old photos though, have you?

Speaker 11 (01:51:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:51:37):
I've got a lot of old photos here, Okay, Yeah,
I've bits and pieces and yeah you have either eaten
at the pepper tree?

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Now where is that?

Speaker 6 (01:51:47):
It's as you come into town you hit a t
junction and its slightly on your right as you look
straight ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
Yeah, I think I have. Yeah, that's in corament itself,
is it?

Speaker 6 (01:52:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:52:01):
The pepper tree yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 6 (01:52:02):
Yeah, Well my mum planted that oh tree, Okay with
my grandfather's house where the pepper tree was.

Speaker 3 (01:52:10):
So were you brought up in Coramandel yourself?

Speaker 6 (01:52:13):
No, My older brother and sister were born in Coromandel.

Speaker 3 (01:52:16):
That I was born in oh Okay, not quite as exciting, tequately,
not quite as exciting as it.

Speaker 6 (01:52:22):
Ye oh it is where I find a pew view.

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
Not good on you. Nice to hear from your Graham,
Thank you, seventeen, Part eleven. Race Always good to be
back on racecourses. Car Who often traveled to the coast
to hunt for car Who. The distance from Carda to
the coast is a short quick flight. A hawk with
a tracker on it flew sixteen hundred k's from wake
Till to middle March. Wow, Marcus walking lower huts are

(01:52:46):
a dead seabird two minute flight for pattorney called MPI
not interested and not a group worried about my cocker
teel ross.

Speaker 5 (01:52:54):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
We're also talking about the names of the boats that
no one seems to be into ships. I've got to
call them, don't you. They get upset and bluff as
you call them boats or a boat goes on a ship,
they always say, but ship doesn't go on boat. Never
quite worked out where people are so anyway, that's fine,
that's their journey. Oh I forgot about the rugby league.
There's been no score eight and el Sydney, and I
mean the scores the same. So it's been a long

(01:53:18):
time i'd say since Melbourne have been held scoreless. Same players,
but just none of them firing. Oh so they've lost
Peppenhouse and that's remember he was good. They loved him,
they always loved him on the Footy show. It's like
the great Hope Peppenhausen, a little guy with a mullet.

Speaker 10 (01:53:34):
Do do.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):
I think they've scored again Sydney, so they're twelve to four.
They'll be up even with the Warriors soon after this.
It might be they might go ahead of us if
the Warriors lose. Hope they don't. Now Andy Burnham is speaking.
I think he wants to give people back hope. Oh
cap evidence Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:53:55):
Yes, good evening, Evan Snick.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
Is it your name for the ship?

Speaker 17 (01:54:00):
Yeah? Well, good name money. It's a bit of a
scenic trip.

Speaker 10 (01:54:05):
I quite blame always.

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
I always like when the Warrtars were singing cruising on
the inter Island.

Speaker 17 (01:54:12):
Though about one highwave?

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
What about just got one because it's supposed to be.
What isn't it ya? You're talking? Where are you tonight?

Speaker 13 (01:54:21):
Evan?

Speaker 17 (01:54:21):
I just stop harm, just stop? Half moon by here,
that's happening. No, it's pretty time.

Speaker 3 (01:54:26):
Any swell, any slop on the water.

Speaker 17 (01:54:29):
No, no, I'm right up the harbor. So that just
both car furies.

Speaker 10 (01:54:33):
Oh yeah, pretty quiet yet.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
How's that electric theory going?

Speaker 11 (01:54:38):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:54:38):
I've seen it actually had come alongside this morning we
about lunchtomish. Is it still it's still still testing.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
We're going to test it for so long.

Speaker 17 (01:54:49):
I don't I don't think it can cope with the
I don't know power or something something something is not right,
keeps going back up to where it was launched from.

Speaker 3 (01:54:59):
Did you find your forecast on the ham radio or
whatever it is on the u VHF.

Speaker 17 (01:55:04):
General nineteen it's still Someone said.

Speaker 3 (01:55:07):
It's moved to channel sixteen or something.

Speaker 17 (01:55:09):
I thought, yeah, you can pick it up. Well, they
tell you the channel to go to on channel sixteen,
sixteen just for emergencies.

Speaker 3 (01:55:18):
Oh yep. Anything else from you?

Speaker 16 (01:55:21):
Not really?

Speaker 3 (01:55:21):
Oh God, nice to hear from you even think of
that's seven into twelve, yes, Marcus Queenstown needs to be
really proactive, have relaxing weekend. Well, I can't work out
how they can be proactive because they haven't even planned
for roads around that. It's unbelievable how hard is to
get around. And now they're looking at gondolas. Who what's
it going? Is it rob jury? They're going to be Gondler's. Well,

(01:55:42):
that's not going to be good in the quake, because
the gondolas will come down, the polls will get shaken.
That's not resilient. Marcus. I have just read an article
on stuff written by Charlie Mitchell at four twenty four D.
It sounds like it's out of an apocalyptic movie. Town
city road planning and more needs to be considered of
it's to likelihood. What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think

(01:56:03):
it's a really time the article. I don't know it
was a new article was written, an article that was rewritten,
But this is the one about what's going to happen
when the Alpine fault goes And it's really sobering reading,
really sobering. On the same day, Civil Defense says take
responsibility for yourself. But yeah, I'll try to get the discovered.
No one wants to talk about bad news. The article
is Magnitude eight point two the disaster scenario on New

(01:56:25):
Zealand's most dangerous fault. Okay, yep, it would be a
total disaster. Yeah, and there's a really good article about that.
But it's Queenstown that will be the real problem. I
think it'll have seven hundred times the energy of the
twenty eleven christ Church earthquake and communities will be cut off.
Roosters have beaten the Melbourne Storm. Roosters gone to number

(01:56:47):
two on the latter. The Warriors need to win tomorrow
to got where they should but we're playing the easy beats,
but still could be banana skin game. So Panthers on
thirty two points, Roosters on thirty, Warriors on twenty eight. Michael,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:57:00):
Good evening, Yeah, Marcus, good evening to you. Three quick things.
Have you got time? South Auckland on August second, The
two new train stations are opening now.

Speaker 3 (01:57:11):
They're the ones between pokakrh and Pakaranga.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (01:57:14):
No, no jury and Pirata.

Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Yeah, that's right, that's what I mean between pok and
that's where they are they.

Speaker 8 (01:57:22):
Yeah, yes, I'm looking forward to going on that when
it opens just to check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:57:26):
So what are they? There are mainly big parking rides things.

Speaker 7 (01:57:29):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:57:29):
There's big car parks by them.

Speaker 13 (01:57:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:57:31):
What I think is for the jury one, all the
ones that live in like Ramarama or Bombay or even
further south will come, you know, come down and get
off there. And for the Pirata, I think a lot
will come from.

Speaker 11 (01:57:45):
What you do.

Speaker 3 (01:57:46):
Yeah, understand park there, but what what then?

Speaker 8 (01:57:51):
You see? L I thought they were going to have
a total wish to south. But let's let's say you
want to go from west to south and not go
into the loop. You still will have to transfer. Yeah,
there won't be one train that will go the whole way.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
You sure?

Speaker 10 (01:58:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:58:10):
Can you bring up the map so you then I
can find to explain it. So I've got it. I
got my one in front of me too, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:58:17):
Copy.

Speaker 8 (01:58:18):
Let's say I'm like, and let's say I want to
go sort of out west, you would have to change
at new Market and then continue like on the blue line.
Might's start on the red line and then you have
to onto the blue line to go west. So and
then if you want to go from west Auckland to

(01:58:38):
like South Aorkland. Let's say from Mungapho from west from
Swanson to Mungopho and you don't want to go into
the loop, you still have to change to you won't
be this one frame.

Speaker 3 (01:58:52):
Just get off at Grafton. Yeah, yeah, I think it's
gonna work pretty well. I'm confident.

Speaker 8 (01:58:57):
Yeah, yeah, yes, really really, it's gonna be really wonderful.
And the station's looking pressions. I had a comment on
like DA saving too. Have you got time?

Speaker 3 (01:59:07):
You certainly please up for Davids discussion you know me?

Speaker 8 (01:59:11):
Yeah, I've read it's quitely interesting, like in America and Toronto.
So thinking anyhow we have summer time and winter time,
we chop and change every six months. They're thinking of
and not the seting one time and not dropping and changing.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
Makes sense, doesn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:59:28):
Yeah, There's been advantages and disadvantages for whatever time you choose,
Like if you stuck on summertime at the beginning, up
really early in the morning, like before five, and then
it'll probably get dark about nine, and then vice versa
for winter sort of.

Speaker 6 (01:59:43):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (01:59:45):
I think I think this advantage to just go permanently
daylight savings time. But I don't think the people are
ready for it.

Speaker 8 (01:59:52):
Yeah, which time would you like to choose? Onetertime all
the time or summertime all the time?

Speaker 3 (01:59:56):
Summertime? Yeah, that's my take. Something else you've got better?
Is that your three?

Speaker 7 (02:00:01):

Speaker 11 (02:00:01):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (02:00:02):

Speaker 8 (02:00:04):
Yeap, yep?

Speaker 3 (02:00:04):

Thank you, Chris. Check out the short YouTube computer simulation

waves change. They had different angles depending on the ground structure.

(02:00:27):
Chairs Craig, Well, the other way of looking at the
AF eight with fix it will fix most of Queenstown's problems.
They reckon glory of al Cope right in the middle
of where the fault line is. About an hour ago,
you said you weren't going to talk about predicting earthquakes,
so it freaks people out. Now you're going on about
the Alpine quake. I think I have to turn my
radio off right now night. Yeah, fair point, but I

(02:00:48):
think we do have to take it seriously, and I
think civil offense needs to take it seriously, really seriously.
