Speaker 4 (00:41):
It seems I'm fine work.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
One never won? Where rire because I away?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Bye side?

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Oh good evening. All that happens will going well? Will
you are we here until twelve? Gim will be a
long after me. We have two talking about all sorts
of things. Actually it's not prescriptive by the way. Two
games all the first set of the semi folent Melbourne
in the Australian Open. How are you going? People? Welcome?
Oh they've done an on call cut of the film
Crocodile Dundee. Doesn't sound that good, does it? Must have

(01:33):
found some new footage. Kennet's Marcus could even again welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
I eating Rugus. In relation to your question about the
hiring nursing staff and doctors, I firmly believe that the
health system would love to by the hire and more
doctors and nurses, but they don't have the funds. The
previous government left the country in such a financial mess.

(02:00):
How they got the audacity to say that there's only
going to be a one trim government and they expect
to be back in I don't know what about the.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
About what about the two point eight billion for the landlords?
Could you put that towards the healthcare? Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:16):
You probably could, but there's there's so many other things
as well that money needs to go to.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's yeah, but what do I need to go?

Speaker 4 (02:22):
It was I mean, that's the that's the immediate thing
to springs springs tonight. By the way, kid, it was
not my question. It was Harry's question about the nurses.
To be fair, it was him that's got the family.
Was him that rang up? That was his question. I
was more interested in the jet that he was talking about.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Oh okay, fair enough, Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good Ken, reasonable guy, Thank you for that nine text.
I don't know. I didn't know more about the the
havel and venom, although it's only in recent years I'm
becoming more interested in the rarity of certain planes. This
is the one by John Luff. I'm going to be resented.
I don't realized there's rare planes flying got stripped down

(03:02):
and restored an ard more. How much it costs to
start it up each time? It's quite an exciting thing.
He charged ten dollars per entry to go and watch it. Well,
that's what we did last time. I can see the
article about that. It was in the Hawks Bay in
twenty twenty. Welcome people. Here's a question for you. I

(03:24):
sawd this question for tonight because I'm curious. I think
this is a fairly good question, and I'll be curious
to know your answers to this now. Harry's texting me
Marcus with respect to that gentleman's comments about there enrolled

(03:46):
nurses who cannot get jobs. We don't need e ens
in our hospital, but we do need experience r ends,
and we need to keep an eratio of experience RNs.
To those rins little no experience for safety until experience
is gained. But e ends cannot do the work of
r ends. Also, a hospital need more than just doctors
and nurses. That's from K Marcaus. I think your current

(04:11):
call is getting confused between enrolled and registered nurses. The
polytechnics don't graduate thousands of enrolled nurses. There's a big
deal between enrolled and registered nurses. Thank you for that,
and that's an important clarification. Here's the question I've got
for you tonight, three to two Center over Shelton. No

(04:33):
one's broken serve yet. Oh someone sent me an email
about Jehovah's witnesses. Yeah, so there we go. Thank you

(05:03):
for that, Cindy. Someone said, we have all sorts of
strange facts about us, misconstrued and incorrect. I don't know
what the inaccurate stuff was. I was baptized three years
ago and I'm sixty seven years old. Anyway, you want

(05:27):
to know place you get a website which is amazing
for adults and kids like jw dot or because even
kids videos which helpful for parents to wort about the
kids to be helpful around the house. Well, that's always
a good thing. Lots of experiences, wonderful scientific creation and
info and articles to keep us today cope and today's
changing world. Yep. Our literature is extremely relevant and up

(05:51):
to date, despite the font lowell. Oh, that's good. Worldwide.
During COVID, yes, we wrote letters with great results, a
lot of interest due to the pandemic having such a
vast and dramatic impact on the world as a whole.
And people searching for ences as most have never seen
anything on this scale having such a worldwide effect. I'm
still not sure what the information is to see what

(06:12):
the information that someone rang up and said that the
Jirovah's witnesses believe that Jesus was an angel, and it's
hard for me to say that without start singing the
song angels and what's that about? I don't know what
that's about. They start singing Robie Williams. Every time I

(06:34):
use that word, he feels like he's colonized that world
and that word in my mind. I haven't seen the
movie with him as a monkey. People say it's fantastic,
but no one's been to see it, mainly because he's
unknown in America anyway. The question is going to ask
you goes as this, and it's a question that I've

(06:58):
thought much about, and I'm sure you'll have some answers
to it. It's from a Reddit feed. Here's the question.
If somebody grabbed you out of your chair right now

(07:19):
and said you have to give a one hour speech
on any topic of your choice, as long as it
was informative, and they'd pay you ten thousand dollars, what
would your speech be about you've got to talk for
an hour about something in an informative way. I think

(07:41):
some of the talkback callers will do very well in
it could be Janning a giant fan. If you're to
talk for an hour about what I think I could
do an hour on trains. I could do an hour
on radio. I hate to say it because this will

(08:01):
sound like I'm some sort of eye specialist. I could
do an hour on myself. I could probably do an
hour on bluff. I couldn't do an hour on folding rules.
I do half an hour. So what is the one

(08:23):
topic you could do an hour on?

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Ever?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Think about it. I'm not going to offer you ten
grand I'm just curious to know what our depth of
talent is out there. I'm sure there's people do an
hour on their trade building a house. I'm sure there's
plenty of callers that could do an hour on the
evils of crocs. I'm sure people would do an hour

(08:53):
on the All Black. So what's your what's your hour topic?
What could you do for an hour? I'm not going
to make you do it, by the way, I'm just
curious to know. Hevery think about that. Phone it through
or text it mainly phone it through. That's more exciting.
Sixteen past ten. So, by the way, a tremendous rally there.
I think Sinner's about to break Shelton serve No, it's

(09:17):
back to juice. I was a twenty two bull rally.
Boy oh boy, had I'm a strong book. Jea tell
you what the standard of tennis is good these days?
It when they get so good must be the bigger rackets,
is it?

Speaker 7 (09:30):
So?

Speaker 4 (09:30):
If you could talk right now, if you could talk
for an hour about one thing, what would you talk
for an hour about? What's your It could be JFK,
it could be American Civil War. I just want to
know what your hour long topic is. It's a fascinating question.

(09:51):
I wish I had a broader one, Lowler. It's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Yes, good evening, A very good subject. It's health in
nineteen seventy.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
This is my show, right, this is my show. If
you could talk about now for one thing, what would
it be?

Speaker 8 (10:18):
It would be how to improve health of our nation? Wow,
by getting rid of margarine and oil, which is damaging
all the organs, the skin, the arteries, the hearts, the
fertilization everything and diabetes canter, and it's been fifty years

(10:42):
since they since they unbanned it, and it's only going
to get much rice squorse. And the old people are
living to an old age because they've stuck with the
butter and the drippings and not got into all this soil.
The people on farms have got their own milk, raw
milk with cream. It's not damaged, and so they.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Have I hate to say, I don't know if the
raw milk is quite the exciting thing.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
It was.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Half the infant mortality in a day was to do
the milk that was unprocessed. It killed half the children.
Well are you healthy? Are you healthy, Lola?

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (11:24):
I am healthy, But I was.

Speaker 8 (11:28):
Vaccines.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Do you think that your cats was Do you think
your cancer was caused by the vaccines?

Speaker 8 (11:39):
Well it was because there was a big influx of
bell cancer in the UK and America as well.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Okay, so I'm sort of regretting this topic. But your
hour is about margarine.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
Right, margarine and polly unsaturated oils brilliant.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
I did ask, I did ask, looktally, I asked, but
I reckon she could Who do you think I look
at it for an hour? I think she probably could,
but already the topic was quite broad, wasn't it. Hello, Peter,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Good evening, Yeah, good of the evening.

Speaker 10 (12:24):
Marcus. I could probably talk about for an hour about
athletics Krack and Field, going back to Lovelocke in nineteen
thirty six. And there's always stories concerning the winners of these,

(12:45):
like Fanny Brancus Cohen, the nineteen forty eight lay from
the Netherlands, the fifty two Olympics, my idol Emi Zeta pic.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
What a legend.

Speaker 11 (13:05):
Is now? That guy?

Speaker 10 (13:06):
It will never happen again, because well it just won't.
He won fifty two, He won the five thairsand meters,
ten thousand meters and the marathon.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
And that is extraordinary, is it? What was his marathon time? Peter?

Speaker 10 (13:27):
I think it was about two hours twenty three?

Speaker 6 (13:31):
What happened?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
A good time? It's a good time considering the shoes.

Speaker 9 (13:36):
Yes, now, isn't that race?

Speaker 10 (13:39):
Jim Peters, the Englishman, he was a great marathon runner,
but he collapsed fifty four. That's another story. They're getting
halfway through the race and Zetepexi the Peters are we
going too fast or too show the way Peter's tried

(14:00):
to baggery map and he should be going too show.

Speaker 12 (14:04):
Wow, Wow, what happens?

Speaker 10 (14:06):
Yes, a pe ran off one easy and in between
all that his wife Dana d A and A she
won the Woman's Jevlin. So between the two they got
four gold medals in the fifty two Olympics.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
So why could you? Why is your recall so good?
You've got a good memory of read lots of books
about her. You've always been passionate about athletics.

Speaker 10 (14:35):
I was a runner, quite a good boy runner, and
I'm going to good memory. I'm at metal fact. Two
days ago I had my eighty ninth birthday, but I
can still remember. I could have pictured in my mind
of it walking to school with a fellow by the

(14:58):
name of Noel Danshay walked to Hornby Primary and my
first teacher, lovely motherly lady, missus sansum. I mean I
can go, I can go way back how Hornby used
to belive.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
So you've got two topics. You could do athletics since
love Lock or Hornby the early days.

Speaker 10 (15:23):
Yes, yes, Hornby. Now I left there in nineteen fifty six.
I'm back in christ Church now. Oh man, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
And Rolliston cheapest dugget I could talk from now on Rolliston, Peter,
Where did that spring from?

Speaker 13 (15:40):
Wa?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
A place?

Speaker 11 (15:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (15:42):
Now in the nineteen forties and early fifties with in
the old nineteen twenty six Rugby. That's the car that
Dad had. We go out Rollston, turn left there off
the main road, go about a mile down the road

(16:02):
and dare to shoot all the rabbits that we need it.
And we have a big like a campfire on the
side of the road. There was great, big, great, big
wide ditches in those days. Have breakfast there on a
Sunday morning. I'll tell you what those.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Were the days.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
But going back to then, going back to the athletics,
are some great stories and some heartbreaks. My idol when
I was running was John Landy, now Baniser in Newfley
Road in the UK. He was the first man to

(16:49):
break four minutes. But Landy what happened? Landy went to
a place called Turku in Finland that was supposed to
have the fastest running track in the world. He went
over there, smashed the four minute mile. He ran three

(17:10):
fifty eight even, and then those two met a ninete
fifty four Empire Games. It was in those days. Niston
in three fifty eight point eight and Landy ran three

(17:30):
fifty nine point four.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I think it was who was their.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Who was third?

Speaker 10 (17:39):
I think a feller from Canada Helberg ran in that race,
but he didn't he didn't do any good.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Peter, what was your distance and did you have any titles?

Speaker 14 (17:56):
Now?

Speaker 10 (17:56):
Look, I was five times runner up for a Canterbury
title for a half mile, a mile and two miles.
That was junior on the track nineteen fifty four track
season in Canterbury. I only lost one race. I'm not

(18:17):
trying to be smart.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
One the only lost one. Now that's that's some honor.

Speaker 9 (18:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (18:24):
I never won a Kenary title. I was the best
here in christ Jurich, but I lost the half of
a mile and the seventeen by a fellow Rory Anders
from from the West Coast beat me and what.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
He should even be competing in Kenterbury.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
Yeah, the West Coast was a sub center like Timroo
was near the cross country. I was beaten by a
fella from Timaru come up and beat me in the
cross country, and you know, I think look back, and
I think myself here five times for Africademy title. Now

(19:11):
it's interesting. Jerry heck he represented New Zealand. He was
running the time of Snell and Jerry finished up five
times runner up for New Zealand eight hundred meters. Snell
beat him. He could never beat Peter Snell. They were

(19:33):
great mates. But your running was in the family.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yeah, I've got to go, Peter, But I reckon you
could talk for an hour cheapers. Wow? Someone said please
let them talk for an hour. Well we could do
it one night. Do you want to hear Lola for

the first one is antiques, china wear, home decor, including
brass spot off, collected, bought and sold.

Speaker 4 (23:56):

Speaker 9 (24:03):
I'd start off with what my interests in it were
or are, and then go into the different part different
antiques that have been interested in and bought and sold.

(24:24):
I've also sourced items for other people. One is a
lady on Raquina, and I think believe you've visited her place,

because it might enlighten people to different china were and
h collections and things like Royal Dalton. The variety of patterns.

Speaker 14 (25:15):
Is my main one.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
Your main one is Pensis Royal Dolt and Pansies. It's
all hand painted and features are very good. Well, it
did feature a very good price when I was buying
and selling.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
It, and.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
I'd source it and just sempatized on trade me. You
love a pensy?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Are you still in the Dalton? Don't see anybody? You're
still in the Dalton pansy trade?

Speaker 7 (25:46):

Speaker 9 (25:50):
But I could do it and I could source anything
you wanted, And what's.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Your other topics? Only you said you had a couple
h The.

Speaker 9 (26:00):
Other topic would be a networking business that I'm in
and it's Korean products and it's called amy.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Hang On. It's called what a t O m y
It's a what sort of business?

Speaker 9 (26:18):
Networking business?

Speaker 12 (26:20):
I like?

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Is that like M way?

Speaker 9 (26:25):
It's better than that?

Speaker 4 (26:27):
But you said you set yourself to contact. Is that right?

Speaker 9 (26:33):
You You recommend and they come in and they buy
and recommend as well. But you've got to use the product.
You've got to light the product and and that sort
of thing.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Before you tell me about tell me about atomy. Where
did it come from? What's good about it?

Speaker 9 (26:51):
It comes from Korea?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
What's it all about?

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Well, it's all.

Speaker 9 (26:59):
They've got a development industry that develop what's the skin
tear for males and females all the way down to
sun care. And it's for different skin types, the skin

(27:22):
tere it's one awards, so very hard thing to do
for that type of thing. Health supplements, old care.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Do you think you could talk about it? I don't
know if you could talk about it for an hour.

Speaker 9 (27:39):
Yeah, I'll separate all the health supplements and what they
actually do for the body.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
And all that break it around, getach product.

Speaker 9 (27:49):
Yeah, and then I'll go into the business plan and
what you can actually achieve and how you work a
binary system. You have a left arm and a right arm,
and go into that.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
And what you can what's binary system for.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
That's bringing people into the business.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
And you handed and right handed people, but you can do.

Speaker 9 (28:18):
You can separate left handers and right handed people and
put one and on the left side and one on
the right side. But normally it's family and friends on
one side and on the other side acquaintances, business acquaintances
type of thing. And you can achieve anywhere from two

(28:41):
to four thousand dollars a month up to one hundred
thousand a month. And I have met a Korean lady
recently that was earning one hundred thousand a month.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (28:53):
And it's willible. It's willible down to two generations.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
And what are you on.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
I've only been in a few months and I've already
got quite a substantial amount of people on my left
arm and right arm, and I'm achieving. I'm trying to
achieve the up to the two to four thousand.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Don't tell me how your fork out to buy your
product to begin.

Speaker 9 (29:27):
With, no nothing, no fee to buy, no fee to
come in.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
And have you had to pay for the product in advance? No, no, brilliant. Okay,
well I'm going to move on, Soner, but thank you
very much for that. I don't know if i'd stay
on the lecture theater for the whole hour about at
to me, but I did like the left and right side.
Just keeping your family and your friends separate, I think. Anyway,
hold your horses. Now sylv has texted, in fact, she's

(29:55):
emailed Sylvia. I presume she could talk for an hour
about zb's talkback hosts. Now, i'd pay money to hear that.
We couldn't broadcast it on. I'd love to hear that.
I'd luck because I mean, you're saying at home listening,
you have opinions. Wouldn't you want to say stuff? Well,
there's this one guy, brilliant. I'm there for that. Cameron

I said, oh, yeah, I haven't talked even talked to
my wife about it yet. Anyway, we went to Chicago
and bought Harley Davidson's and went over the Niagara Falls

(31:32):
up into Canada, then came down from Canada and to Utah,
over the Rockies to San Francisco and then down to
la and then sent the bikes home, which I've still got.
And then a couple of years later he said, oh,
where should we go this time? Okay? So we went

(31:53):
to hoch Uman and there was three of us and
we ho human and we got a little wee Suzuki hundreds,
one hundred and Ten's mind you when you say when
I say suzukis they had a Honda tank, a Suzuki
motor and Yamaha mudguards and other gear. You know, they

(32:14):
just put them together over leftover bits. And we went
from ho Chimen up to Hanoi and then came home.
And then a couple of years after that he said, okay,
we should do another one. Okay, so why don't we
go to Hong Kong. So we did, went to Hong Kong,
crossed over in to guan Zoe, China, and got Suzuki

(32:36):
hundreds or something, and came down through China, Southern China
all the way down to heading towards Vietnam. And one
of the other guys got a puncher and fell off,
and my mate went with him, so they got the
train through. So I went for a day and a

(32:57):
half on my own through southern China. And when there's
three of you are looking for a hotel, like, nothing's booked.
The only thing that's booked there's the fe there and back,
so everything else is just random. And so when you
when there's three of you, you know one's looking at
the traffic lights, one's looking at the for a hotel,

(33:17):
and you know, so you're all sort of helping each other,
or when you're on your own, you're looking for everything.
So I was looking for everything and stopping at lights
and oh, here's a here's a here's a here's a
flash hotel, there's the beginning of a dark here's a
flash hotel. So I went in there and I said,
not a word of not a word of English. Need
one night's hotel, one night, one dead, one night. Oh yeah,

(33:42):
you know, all due respect to Chinese people, Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
One night, let's not do their voices.

Speaker 6 (33:49):
Yeah, but anyway, anyway, so I didn't understand the word
she was saying. So anyway, I sort of relaxed of
it then. So I found the hotel and sort of
reaccdent looking around. Oh my goodness, oh no cheapest, I'm
in a brothel, I'm sure. Ye oh yeah, man. When
I when I stopped and looked at.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
When you spoke around them, when you spoke for an hour,
did you have slides from your trip with your photos
or was it just some of them?

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, some of them yep.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
And you talk did you talk without notes?

Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yeah, I seemed to be able to. Yeah. Yeah, my
wife telling me to be quite quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
So but anyway, yep.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
So anyway, I got down to the border of Vietnam
where I was going to meet my mates and Hannowy again.
So I got down to the border, and of course
my mate had and I got my motibi confiscated because
I didn't have any immigration papers, import papers or proof
of ownership because my mate had all the ownership papers.

(34:51):
And yeah, so I ended up having to bust the
last down. I lost the bike at the border, and
then I had to get a bus down to hannoy
So that was okay. Then we flew home from Hannowey.
So then the next one, we.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Don't we don't want the whole hour log speeches, just okay.
And the next one, how many motibike trips did you do?

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Okay, I'll give you I'll give you a short version.
The next one, we went to India, got railed into it.
Motibikes went up over the Himalayas, right up into you know,
right up over the top, got altitude sickness up the top,
came down, played cricket with the Indian Army because they've
got nothing much else to do. And then came back
down to New Delhi. And then three years ago we

(35:37):
went to joe Burg and got motibikes there and we
went up through Botswana, Zambia, up into Nibibia and then
down through the Kalahari Desert and then back down into
back down into joe Burg and came home. And so
that was the motivike trips. And then just the final
thing last September, I went with a couple of other mates,

(36:01):
some different mates, and I went and walked the Camino trail.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
I want to talk about the run Cavin, but thank
you so much. I'm loving your stories. You could talk
for I have no doubt about that. Love the Camino
nine to eleven. What could you talk for an hour about?
By the way, Sinner has won the first said only
just but it was a great said, it was a
long set, did extremely well. Joe Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Oh how are you good?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Joe?

Speaker 16 (36:29):
I don't know that I'm gonna en have time before
news to talk to you. I want to talk with.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
You a sport and you got five.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
You got five minutes?

Speaker 16 (36:41):
All right, Well we're off site.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Well hang on I'll lead the discussion. Joe. If someone
offers you one thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars to
talk about something for an hour, what would and to
make it interesting? What would be your best topic?

Speaker 13 (37:01):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (37:01):
Well, the sport?

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Which aspect of sport until wide brief?

Speaker 16 (37:09):
Well, I represent mw ZUM for many many years at
my particular Childen's board. I think I've talked to you
before about it. It was speech skating.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Oh, it'd be interesting, it would be good.

Speaker 16 (37:25):
We had to change the name to ice racing because
when we told people were speech skaters, they didn't know
whether it was on roller skates or ice skates, so
eventually would change the ice we called the ice racers.
And I've still got many New Zealand Blazer to this

(37:46):
day that I got and it's got ice racers on it.

Speaker 8 (37:52):
But I.

Speaker 16 (37:57):
I used to train from the age of fifteen. I
started skating when I was five, and from the age
of fifteen to thirty five, I trained three times a day.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Where were you training there, Joe.

Speaker 16 (38:22):
Well, I've always lived near the Keshmere Hills still due
to this day, and I did a lot. I used
to be on the Keshmeres. I'd run them one day
and cycle them the next alternately. And of course, way

(38:47):
back in those days, I was running a gymnasium. In
quiet fact, we're the only gym apart from a Canary
Way of Lifting Association and the YMCA. It was a
very very popular gym. And when I left school, because

(39:09):
I went to Keshmere High and when I left school,
I worked for the Government Valuation Department and I don't
know what they call themselves now, but I know they've
changed the name. But they used to be in the
AA building in Aladdimer Square, and it's not the Alcoholics
Anonymous but the HEA, you know, the Automobile Association. And

(39:35):
because my first job, I worked in that building because
the Government Valuation Department they used to hire. I think
it was the first, second, third floor. And of course
when I left school, I worked there and I discovered
there was this gymnasium next door, and I thought this

(39:58):
is ideal. So in my lunch house on Tuesday, Thursdays
and on sad days, I used to train in the gym.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
And okay, so Joe, I've got to move on. But
I didn't want you to talk for an hour. But
I do believe you could talk about ice skating for
an hour, so thank you for that. I'm just heading
up towards the newspeople. So it's a tiebreaker. Yeah, I
said they had the first set, but obviously my tennis
scoring is rusty. It's six sets or Sinner is leading
five to two. On the tiebreaker, he's nailed this. I

(40:31):
think it's first to six, so yeah, so this is exciting.
First to seven.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
So he's got kind of if he gets this point,
then he's got a couple of chances, if you know
what I'm saying. So now it's five to three. On
the tiebreaker, it's six to two, so I just ignore
what I'm saying. I've got it. Back to front, should
stick to one thing rather than commentary. Anyway, back after

(41:01):
the news with more of this, feel free to give
me a call and eighty.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Eight hundred and eighty eight for some after hours check.
Marcus Lush nights on news Talk said, bee.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Whoa outside to move the day gans Winna. Even though
they maybe tied, it seems I'm fine way oneable wong

(41:42):
rier because I am always.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
By your side.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
Good evening and welcome. What could people talk for an
hour about Oh wait, one hundred eighty Tenadian nine nine
to the text I'm curious though, what you could talk
for an hour about? So, yeah, what would your topic
be for an hour? Get in touch eight hundred and

(42:15):
eighty to eighty in nineteen nine two de text Lis Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 12 (42:19):
I would probably if I guess my subject would be measured.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Would it be interesting for an hour?

Speaker 12 (42:28):
It would be very impressing, which would be evidence and
research at supportant. It would be interested to people who
were in the framework of it, and if they were
going to go along to probably not want to absorb

(42:48):
information that's been gained for a lifetime of everything I've
done then, and then it won't be impressing.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
So what aspect of music would you talk about for
an hour? Will you talk about your journey in music?

Speaker 12 (43:02):
No, I wouldn't talk about the because music is a language.
It's a language of the world. Because then I'd start
off on my place when I was born, what I
was born into, where it came from, and I'd start
writing from the very beginning as a history of music.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Where would you start I'm starting now, okay, okay.

Speaker 12 (43:28):
Well, if not, I'd start when it was first investigated
with evidence is when it first started, because it was
probably fifteen thousand years ago with bone flute. So at
the evidence is all laiter and it goes right on,
and then you have to deviate offen too, where Western

(43:51):
music came from, how the church was involved. I mean,
it could easily go on for.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
An hour, but it's your passion.

Speaker 12 (44:00):
Well, I mean I've had, you know, got the greens
and all sorts of that, and I've got done preschool
and music they're up here better around school. So I
would have to say that you need to have the
passion of music, and you wouldn't even want to listen.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Because I even wonder if there might be a commercial
opportunity to put a lot of you people on a
bus and take you around to do lecture tours, you
with your music gym, with us skating well, Lola and Margarine,
exactly quite right. You see any movies lately, Liz, Oh No.

Speaker 12 (44:42):
I haven't that. Don't want to see a de.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
Beers number three.

Speaker 12 (44:48):
I love the little.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Okay nice hear from you. There's ten past eleven. What

thing you could talk about for an hour? That's what
I'm on about. That's what I'm on about. What about
Jan and a fair Jane A giant fan, Marcus? My

(45:11):
topic would be my full life story of trauma, drama, tragedy,
is huge, resilience and achievements of us, incredible love story
and great injustice as epic Charie get in touch. My

(45:32):
name is Marcus. Welcome head on Midnight eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine to nine to de text, what
do you want to go on about? He tel twelve.
Let's be hearing from you, Marcus. My hours top it
would be Don Trump of the ludicrous things he has done? Marcus?

(45:52):
What does the motorbike do do for a job to
afford all those trips? Marcus, I'm pretty sure I could
talk about the Lord of the Rings for half a day. Well,
my wife thinks I could. Either that or playing Benjo,
Australasia's only endorsed banjo player Nick from White to the

(46:13):
Hair Soul Beer Coulted is my stage name and shortcut
and shout out daring Banjo's California. What a special place
white is? Goodness? Gracious me, pH my husband could talk

(46:35):
a corpse back to life about horse racing. Marcus. Regarding
talking on top of for now, I think I could
talk on two topics, renovating houses, in particular a shepherd's
cottage a Victorian villa in a nineteen fifty stucco, and secondly,

(46:55):
traveling the North Uld Road to the late sixties when
agricultural contracting men breaking tussock country on back country cheap stations,
growing grain and feeding me in regards Kaye, by the
way of rexciting day on my farm tomorrow it is
the high country muster. We're all involved, and we'll get

(47:20):
up early. We'll head to the top of the farm
to the tussock country, and we will remove the electric
fence and I will bring the sheep down from the
high country to the lower paddock an expectation of the
new fence to go in. I'm fencing off the high country,

(47:41):
so there'll be me and Vanessa and the two kids.
We might have to get a videographer, and over the
course of the day we will bring both sheep down
to the bottom paddock. I can't wait. It'll be like
a country calendar episode. Showy, I've got the drone shots.

(48:05):
You never know where might What could you talk about
for an hour, but please don't talk about it for
an hour. I'm not auditioning. I'm just curious to know
my order of which I enjoy the most. I hate
to say this would be Marjorine number one, athletics number one,
Marjorie number two. Then the ice came. I quite other motorbikes.

(48:29):
But I don't think I'll do the xcent. I think
that's never going to go. Well, that's just that's just
if I'm the manager. That's just a tip for me. Ah,

(48:52):
someone say, like going from an hour about how beautiful
Jeremy Clarkson is, I could probably talk for an hour
on mutton Hams. Michelle wants to talk for an hour
on Sender's book Goodness anyway, Brian, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 14 (49:17):
Hello, Marcus. I got a I got a great topic
for an hour you can talk on.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
No no, no, no, no no no, Brian, It's not
about what I can talk in for an hour. It's
from a Reddit thread. If someone offered you ten thousand
dollars to talk about something for an hour, could you
do it? And what would your topic be?

Speaker 14 (49:37):
Well? I know about it now, but I think your
worst holiday experience. That's what I reckon what.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Is it for an hour?

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Well, that's the whole point. It's talk for an hour.

Speaker 14 (49:47):
Oh, I'll be struggling on that, Marcus. But I thought,

I had a few to drink. Can two guys make me?
In a railway station and town called Lublin, which is
about three hours bus from Warsaw. Was only there for
three nights, the third night over.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Most people that say they mugged when they were drunk
just forgot what happened.

Speaker 14 (50:21):
No, I got robbed.

Speaker 15 (50:22):

ring around my neck where they ripped I had like
a waddle around my neck. They ripped it off, and
the sky is still I think still around my neck

Speaker 17 (51:15):
My topic would be, uh the adventures are an environmental terrorist?

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Wow?

Speaker 17 (51:25):
True story?

Speaker 4 (51:27):
What sort of terrorism have you done?

Speaker 17 (51:30):

So?

Speaker 3 (51:48):
What do you do.

Speaker 17 (51:50):
While I'm retired? Now?

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Okay, okay, it's been hard for me to get what
the point of what you're saying is. Standard might be
the phone line, but thank you eighteen Parst eleven. Marcus.
I could talk abut my if that family for an hour.
I'd be in for that, Marcus. I could talk for
now about your current hometown, bluff my way through it, Marcus.
Would a punishment be there? We'd have to listen to
them for an our chairs, John Marcus. I would talk

(52:15):
about us in and Moldy Wardens, having been one for
twenty five years, the history, our co pop upper, our vision,
our passion, numerous and vary duties, experiences, experiences and memories
numb here, Yvonne, thank you for that, Yvonne. Marcus you
already have talked for an hour on mutton Hams. It
was great. Marcus. I could talk about myself and what

(52:39):
I've done the last sixty years, or whether anyone would
be interested. Marcus I could talk for an hour on
the art of watching paint dry to cover the color
of paint and wall floor or ceiling humidity, tempt The
list goes on. Would talk for an hour about why
Napier needs its own hospital. Oh, that's not really something.

(53:02):
You talk for an hour about flying pea liners?

Speaker 2 (53:04):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (53:10):
Jin and a giant fan would probably talk about their
life as a psychic. So what would you talk for
an hour about? What would be your topic? Nice to

(53:32):
hear from you, Navy man. Let's probably look at your sandals?
Were they? Were they the brown kds? Anyway, what's your
topic for an hour? People? Oh, here's a good one. Marcus.

(53:59):
I could give a talk for an hour and more
about the fascinating residents of Way Committee Cemetery from the
first burial of child old the hanged men, or the
hanged man, Frederick Froster, the Sea Captains, the musicians, Paul Shuston,
PAULI Foimna, racing drivers Barry Butterworth and Bruce McLaren. So
many cheers, Ruth. Oh, there's always great stories and cemeteries

(54:23):
of course too. There is the big I think there's
a pandemic mass grave at Waite Committee from the nineteen
eighteen one, not the twenty twenty one. There's an erebus
grave there, I think also at White Committee for those
who don't know. That's west Aukland, one of the big

(54:43):
graveyards with big mausoleums. Also always interesting for a drive
or a walk around there. But what could you talk
about for an hour? I'm very interested in this your

(55:04):
specialist topic Margarine Today people, I'll be talking about the
evils of Margarine. By the way, in the podcast Potty Verse,
that's become the new devil is margarine and seed oils.

(55:28):
Some people have become triggered by those. Marcus. My preection
of twenty twenty five is banks. He finally sprang up
a loud of spray painting and photographed Get in touch

(55:50):
Marcus still twelve. But what could you talk about for
an hour, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
to de text anything else beautiful by the way, I
think sitable run away with it now. It was a
very tight first set, but that's so often happens. It's
hard to come back from losing the first one. I've

(56:12):
never played much tennis, but when I have watched it
appears to be.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
A very.

Speaker 4 (56:18):
Mental game. Extremely strong storm is hitting Ireland. There's footages
of planes. That footage of planes land and looks terrifying.
It's called storm and its name is Eowyn. I don't

(56:41):
know how that's pronounced. So yeah, I don't want to
go on too much about that, don't want to make
a fool of myself. But what is the topic you
can talk about for an hour? Please? Oh wait, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty let's be hearing from you.

(57:05):
You got something I just want to talk about? Yeah, yeah,
for an hour I can probably talk about fine. I
couldn't say that. Actually, Marcus Evening, I could talk about
he's in the speedway, a long time legend, five times
he's in and champ Blonde Chamberlain from the neck, Terrence's

(57:28):
biggest fan for forty five years Marcus, I could talk
from ever an arrow on my trip to Graceland ninety
seven for Elvis's twentieth anniversary. Mm hmmm, good evening, David,
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 11 (57:48):
I could talk for a day on building a trout
that turned the whole place around. When after the sheer
market crash, when we hit the highest unemployment rope for
the capital of one hundred and twenty five year olds
in the country and thirty nine businesses closed and everything else,
brown trout?

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Whereabouts is this? David and Gore?

Speaker 11 (58:10):
Have you not been to go? Have you ever been
to Gore?

Speaker 4 (58:14):
You didn't say where you were? I mean, I can't ask.
Can't I were you're talking about, because I must have
started what you've said.

Speaker 11 (58:22):
Yeah, I'm talking about the Brown Trout.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
So tell me about the stats. So after the sheer market.

Speaker 11 (58:29):
Crash in nineteen eighty seven, the sheer market correct, Gore
was hanging bottom. We had thirty nine businesses closed, eleven
shops on Main Street. We had the highest unemployment rope
per capita of under twenty five year olds in the country.

(58:50):
The banks were selling up the farms. Ten percent of
the farmers lost their farms.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
Can you explain to me why Gore was so vulnerable
to the shear market crash.

Speaker 11 (59:03):
Well, the whole country was, but Gore said to it
seemed to really get it in a bad way.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Was it more to do with the downturn and the
sheep and wool price?

Speaker 11 (59:19):
Yeah, but there was also the sheer price and everything collapsed.
There was thirty nine businesses closed, including three of the
biggest ones, which was Letty's which is over twenty staff,
McLean's machinery. I just forgot the other one, but it
was over twenty two twenty staff. The rugby teams in

(59:42):
the countryside moved from two to one. The farmers were
selling up up the cottages that they had, spear cottages.
Things were hanging bottom, and the whole farming industry and
the whole economic industry and door.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
And so there was very little dairy farming. Didn would
that be correct?

Speaker 11 (01:00:05):
There was virtually none? Okay, there was There will be
a couple of dairy farms that I was aware of,
but apart from that, virtually none back in those days.
That was an eighty seven.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
And so were you were you? Were you behind the
brown trap?

Speaker 8 (01:00:22):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Okay? Well, firstly, what a fantastically executed. That thing is
the plinth of rocks and the stuff like that world class.

Speaker 11 (01:00:32):
Yeah. Well, I could talk for a day on or
did Bob.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Did Bob Jones help you with funding?

Speaker 11 (01:00:42):
Yes? I asked him to. I thought, well, what happened?
I was the second VP of Lions and let's in
charge of projects at the time.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
And hang, David, I miss what you said. You were
the secondary.

Speaker 11 (01:00:56):
Second vice president of Lions.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Lions Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 11 (01:01:03):
And I made the mistake of opening her mouth at
a board meeting and saying, it's about time. It was
our twenty fifth anniversary, It's about time that we did
a project that we promulgated. Instead of people coming to
us and getting us to do projects, why don't we
promulgate one and give it to the people of Gore
for all the work that they've done for us over

(01:01:25):
that twenty five years. And so the board said, that's
a very good idea, Oggie, you find one now that
testure and I looked at all sorts of things I
really did, and most of them were based on farming situations.
But I had taped to the dashboard of my car.
I wanted to do three things, One to create jobs,

(01:01:49):
one to turn the place around and be very very positive.
And that was taped to the dashboard in my car,
and every time I got on the car, which was
several times a day, I would see it. And I
got to the device subconscious mind. And I was sitting

(01:02:09):
having a pipe my wife was reading the paper one
lunch time three months afterwards, and I said, I know
what I'm going to do. I'm going to build the
world's largest brown trout and make the capital of brown
trout fishing. And six to nine months later we put

(01:02:30):
it up.

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
I thought, who was the sculptor who did it?

Speaker 11 (01:02:36):
Earl Allison, who was yeah, well he's probably the best sculptor,
one of the best sculptor painters in Australasia.

Speaker 4 (01:02:47):
Baste where.

Speaker 11 (01:02:49):
Goore. The whole thing was done in Gore. Yeah, And
I thought, well, the trust of it, we worked out
it was going to be thirty six or thirty eight
thousand dollars with it to buy a pretty good house
in those days for that amount of money. And I thought,
now the lion said, oh, how are you going to

(01:03:10):
pay for it? I said, if you can't help raise
the money. I said, oh, raise it. And I thought
about it, and I thought, well, the first thing I
did was I thought, hell, threety eight thousand, that's the
cost of the house. So what I did was, I thought, oh,
I know what I'll do. I'll ring Bob Charles. I
knew Bob. I'd run a few investments seminars with him
and been fishing with him. And I know he put

(01:03:36):
up a statue to Bob for Simmons and Timmorruits in
the Lord and Bob for Simmons was the world heavyweight
boxing champion professional and I thought, well, I'll get him
to put up another statue to his other sporting love,
which was trout fishing, and so I wrote it. Took

(01:03:57):
me a couple of days to work at help. I
wrote abute letter to him and put a p S
on the end of it and said, if you could
be the only in the world have put up a
statue to the two sporting lives, just cast a line
in my direction with thirty six thousand or thirty eight
thousand and my direction on old blat back. A couple

(01:04:19):
of days later, I got to let him back from
both saying, look, David, I've heard the fill of building
statues and things. But he said, I'll put my jet
at your disposal and we'll have a celebrity cocktail party,
et cetera, and we can put eight celebrities in us
and bring them down. And as a result that we

(01:04:39):
had a celebrity cocktail party at Gore in which we
invited all backs and people who represent you, someone from
around South and at that stage the proceedings and to
this celebrity cocktail party, and he brought down Brian Edwards,

(01:05:00):
John Gadsby. He bought eight people at John Gallaha.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Okay, I can't have it all over world. It's not
about talking for an how But you are passionate about that.

you soon. In twenty seven to twelve, a text door says,

an affair with her father in law, making mean not

eighty eight. Gloria, it's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:11:59):
Good evening, Good evening. Now. This is interesting how I
haven't been able to get to sleep to night, and
so I'm back up again and I've just turned the
radio on. I've actually been away for a couple of
weeks and I've just turned the radio on and your
topic about what could you talk about for an hour?

(01:12:20):
And I thought, Wow, what could I talk about for
an hour? I could talk about the fact that our
world's in a big, huge mess and that we are
waiting for the soon return of the Lord. How Yeah,
And do you know what.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
Would that be? You talking for an hour? That be
preaching or I mean it's like a churchy thing, isn't it.
Well it is, Yeah, I did ask the question. Yeah,
Christian Christian made yep.

Speaker 13 (01:12:49):
Yep, yep, it's Christianity and just looking the God's time
clock is Israel and this is interesting what's happening that
the war between Gaza and is Gloria.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
I don't want to hear you talk for an how
I just want to know what you could talk about
for an hour, and that would be the one that Yeah,
that would be the one thing you could talk about
for an hour. I don't want you. I don't want
you to talk about for an hour about the end
of the world. That would be that would have people
wanting the end of the That would sounds very depressing.

Speaker 13 (01:13:20):
No, no, it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
Most of us. See it is depressing because we don't
believe in the rapture.

Speaker 13 (01:13:29):
Why not? Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
Well, why wouldn't you well? Because but I mean, we
have the right of freedom of belief, though, don't we?

Speaker 13 (01:13:39):
Do you actually know the beginning of the Bible?

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
And I want to hear I don't want to hear
from you for an hour.

Speaker 13 (01:13:47):
Another Well, if nobody else is ringing up, you could
talk to me for another five minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
No talk to others, Gloria, jus. You don't just talk.
You just talk to someone because until someone else turns up,
that's a fool's game. That one, Tony, it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Good evening, Marcus. What I could talk about for an
hour would be rates and insurance.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
Do you think anyone would turn up?

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Well, you think? I think it must be a lot
of people. Their bills are going up.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
And that was always getting up. That was always what
was going to happen because customer fortune to sort out water.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
This was it was completely.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
Obvious that the rates we're going to get ten percent.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Yeah, I think it's because the houses went up on four.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
No, No, it's all about the water. Infrastructure is going
to cost billions and billions of dollars to fix.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Well, my insurance has just gone from four thousand, eight
hundred to five and eight hundred a year.

Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
And why do you think that is? And that's because
the claims are getting more expensive because of the floods.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
I don't know, I and had in many claims and
I can't call it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
But it's an averages game, isn't it. You know, they've
had huge, expensive floods in Auckland, huge expensive floods and
Hawks Bay and they've got to get the money back somehow.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
Well, my father in law, who's no longer with us,
I just he said to me one day that when
he bought his house in Towanna, his rates were seven
hundred dollars a year and he said, now they're twenty
two hundred. This is a couple of years ago. And
he said, you know, he said, I don't have the
money to pay thecaism on the pension. And I really
feel sorry, Marcus for the older people. It's all right

(01:15:43):
for me because I can find the money. But you know,
this is big increases. And you know, the older people
they've got to pay more rates and they've got to
pay more insurance, but their.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
Pension doesn't and what's his house worth?

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Oh, his house is worth a fortune. Yeah, but the
thing is is that that doesn't pay the bills. A
cash flow for them is really hard.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
And I but there's something wrong with so many people
can't get in the houses. There's someone sitting on a
house that's worth a fortune, and come forward their rates.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
Yeah. Well, the thing is when he bought it. What
I'm saying is when he bought it, it was only
seven hundred dollars and then like ten years later it's
two thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
It'll be up to ten grand within a century, within
within a decade. I can promise that, Tony. It's all
about water and having the courage to tackle the pipes.
Promise you been there, Marcus. I could talk your about
my pets, Boned I've kept and teeth Fea. There's everything

(01:16:46):
to hunt and gather. Shelly, back at your people, oh
Waite hundred and eighty ten eighty out of control bushfires
and Western Australia west of Perth, too late to leave.
That could be tomorrow's big story. It seems to be

(01:17:07):
around called the Calgary region. There's a planet Bourns but
oh no, if you're under the reps you'd be looking
forward to that, wouldn't show Hugo?

Speaker 7 (01:17:21):
Hey man, are you going?

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
Hugo? Where are you?

Speaker 7 (01:17:25):
I'm currently fishing in Wellington? You know, I just thought it's.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
Something like fishing, fishing, fishing where Wellington? But where in
the harbor? On a boat off the land of a peer?

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
No, just off the beach.

Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
Many out there.

Speaker 7 (01:17:46):
There were so many people out before, but it's pretty
pretty relaxed now everyone's gone gone to beds. It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
What bait you're using?

Speaker 7 (01:17:53):
Oh, a bit of bullet trainer at the moment, but
it seemed to be like that bullet tuner. The snapper
seemed to be liking that tonight, which is good to see.

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
Have you caught some?

Speaker 7 (01:18:04):
Yeah, a few snappers at the deck, which is really
really nice because you know summer so the stun's coming.

Speaker 4 (01:18:10):
That's great. That's a mackerel. Is it a bullet shodor?

Speaker 12 (01:18:14):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:18:14):
No, no, it's an okay?

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
Is it your topic for an hour? Is your topic
for an hour? Fishing?

Speaker 7 (01:18:22):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (01:18:23):
It is.

Speaker 7 (01:18:25):
It's something that I very very much enjoy I reckon,
I could go on for ages.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
How long have you been doing it?

Speaker 8 (01:18:33):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:18:34):
I'm sixteen now and I've probably been doing it ten years.

Speaker 5 (01:18:37):
I just love it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
So do you live in Eastbourne?

Speaker 7 (01:18:44):
I live liver More towards Town the city Issne.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
Good fishing tonight, it seems to.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
Be haven't really fished out here before, but I give
it a go and here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:18:56):
I don't know. And are there normally a lot of
fish in the harbor?

Speaker 7 (01:19:01):
I mean, I prefer to fish out on the West coast,
but there seems to be we couldn't quake it out
there today. Seems to be plenty of fish, normally slightly
small fish then in what you'd find on the West coast.

Speaker 4 (01:19:12):
And is the west coast like Marketer or something.

Speaker 8 (01:19:15):
Like that.

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
Further up north kind of to Horrow or Otaki throw
mat kind of way.

Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
I've just spin to or Tucky. Would you fish off
the off the beach there is that surf casting?

Speaker 15 (01:19:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:19:29):
Down down by More the river mouth is quite popular.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
Do you didn't even get to the I don't even
It wasn't even a way it was a river mouth,
but of course there is so you fish in the
river or you fish off that off that kind of sands.
But at the at the mouth of the river.

Speaker 7 (01:19:43):
Is that where you go yeah, yeah, yeah, and the
fisial you know, either side of the river, feeding feeding
on stuff the river brings out in the eddy trying
to conserve energy.

Speaker 4 (01:19:53):
And what would you be fishing for there?

Speaker 7 (01:19:56):
Probably snatter, but they get came fish through there. It's
pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
It's quite a nice place.

Speaker 7 (01:20:04):
Yeah, it's it's lovely bef. There's no wins, so it's mainly.

Pa Kakaiki? Did you see that? Did you catch up
with them?

Speaker 11 (01:20:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
I was.

Speaker 7 (01:20:17):
I was down in Nelson's I thought, unfortunately I couldn't
get out fishing.

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
We're fishing in Nelson?

Speaker 7 (01:20:23):
Yeah, I was. That's that's my thing always in everywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
Which where do you fish? Nelson?

Speaker 7 (01:20:29):
I was kind of just fishing on a rock wall
down there. I mean, I'm not too familiar down there
fishing for kingfish. No soun my luck seeing what was
going to happen. Any nothing happened, Nope, nothing happened. I
have just got one kingfish top water, which is kind
of fishing in harbor the other day, So that's good.
They're finally finally heading top water, which is awesome. And

(01:20:52):
the Wellington Harbor yep, yeah, yeah, just off eBay, Oriental Bay.

Speaker 4 (01:20:57):
Wow, much of a hard to get him.

Speaker 7 (01:21:01):
Yeah, they put up a good fight. That's that's why
they're the Kingfish.

Speaker 9 (01:21:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
And then with the king fish to release that or often.

Speaker 7 (01:21:10):
You know, it's preserved starks. With the prequel fish, sometimes
you get rediated. But you know, occasionally, you know, we'll
get people over there, split split one twenty four families.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Yeah, I'll need to hear. I'm sure you could and
I'm sure I could talk to for you and how
I'll find that fast starting. I've got to go though, people,
So thank you for everyone that called the tennis. The
update for that two sets, I think Sinner will take this.
It's one game all than the third set, but he
has got the first two. It's a longish match. I
think that's almost one and a half two hours. Oh,

(01:21:44):
that's a good topic. That the thing you can talk
about an hour for And that's almost time for me
to go people. As I've said, haven't got much of
interest to say for the last hour. Sorry minute, But
tomorrow's news bushfires in Western Australia and a Storm of

(01:22:08):
the Century in Ireland. With a name. I can't pronounce
storm ewin e o w y e in one hundred
and fourteen mile per hour winds, which must be like
one hundred and eighty k's. There's amazing shots of trampolines
just flying. I think the winds during Gabriel were like

(01:22:28):
one thirty. That really is strong winds, the storm of
the century, and there's footage of planes landing and it
doesn't look pleasant for those people on board. Thanks to
Andy that was in charge tonight. Also, Dan's away. I'll

(01:22:52):
be back on Monday. Yes, even though it's anniversary Day.

Speaker 12 (01:22:56):
We do that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:57):
I'll be work you on Monday. So yeah, that's just
the way it works. I'm happy about that because it's
not a public holy down South. In fact, I don't
