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

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

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Greeting is and good evening everyone. Welcome to Monday, Monday,
the twentieth of July, here till midnight tonight. Gosh, the
year's nearly gone, hasn't it. That's to be August before you.
Tremendous day down south, one of those, and it did
feel like spring. I don't quite know what the essence
of the feeling of spring is, but tod they head
it don't know what it was still and it's lambs
and cheap as creepers. It was good anyway, how are

(00:34):
I hope you're good with you? I welcome to it
as the Monday free for all. I watched I watched
some of the World Cup today. I watched from when
the guy got sent off to the end of extra time,
and then the to the end of regulation extra time,
then the extra night thirty minutes and yeah, I mean, goodness, me,
I mean, what do you say? I don't know necessarily
that there are always bad team of the Argentinians, but

(00:55):
they wow, goodness, it was poor form on it didn't
see halftime. People were critical of that, right well, that's
that over and Spain. Goodness me, there you go. I
think they have won it. Well, every team's won it
more than once apart from England. It's just one of
the ones. That's my take of everything. There aren't many

(01:15):
teams that win it, but they win it more than once,
so go figure. Anyway, if you want to talk about
that eight hundred and eighty to eighty nine text, you
want to come through and congratulations to recuse the word
of our sweep steak Gilling Gundry Concrete. They put it
five hundred dollars for that, so that's tremendous, So well done.
Rick Rick picked Spain. Do we know much about Rick Dan?
Was he Spanish? I can't remember his backs through anyway?

(01:38):
He picked the right team. It'd be ecstatics. That's that.
That's exciting. So that is that. I'll tell you what's interesting. Actually,
I've just got to download some stuff. Why has there
not been more made about the guy that ran the
world record in the mile? Why is that nowhere in
the news? Because someone tell me about that? Because I
watched that, I thought jep Is creb Is it's a

(01:58):
quick time. But there doesn't seem to be the this
is a This is a record that stood for a
long long time. This is a record that stood since
for twenty six years, and Josh Kerr did it and
nailed it. And I can't quite work out where it's
sort of our favorite distance that there's not more of
a fuss about it. Anyway, he ran three forty two.

(02:19):
I'm thinking probably walk around three forty nine. So I
thought that was a significant other that was a sort
of the sport and hopefully our key we guy will
do that before too long. But yeah, you might want
to comment on that. I know that people are obsessed
with the mile or including myself, that's the backdown of
our generation. But he came ol Garus. He did it

(02:40):
in nineteen ninety nine, so this is the first time
this century the record has been lowered. I don't think
it was anything. Yeah, I mean he had clearly he
had pace setters, but they always do so anyway, I
think he's quite arrogant, sort of a roystery city was
going to do it, and he did it. You want
to mention that that I thought that was kind of extraordinary.
So yeah, of course, sebasting code three forty nine. Steve,

(03:04):
i'vet three forty eight, Sebsting Code three four forty eight,
Steve Obitt three forty eight, se best in Go three
forty seven, Steve Cram three forty six. So of course
the UK have got great foreman the soon. Of course
we're Chelly from Algeria three forty four and the Moroccan
down to three forty three. Now it's out of three
forty two. There was a big story also too. So anyway,

(03:24):
I'm here till midnight. Obviously you'll know that it's a
Monday Monday. I'm not entirely sure what people want to
talk about, so I'll kind of chuck some fresh shocks
out there and we'll see what we catch. And if
there's something different than I'm not mentioning, feel free. If
there's something different you want to talk about that. My
topics aren't they're just ideas. There might be something different
you want to talk about, and feel free to come

(03:45):
in and talk about that. So but the important thing
is you cast your shots. Oh wait, one hundred and
eighty ten eighty nineteen nine two to text you want
to come through, So yeah, and then we will do it.
I'll keep you on Dad with the news throughout the
course of the evening also too, and do get in
touch if you want to talk about any of these things.
But yeah, you might want to mention the football in

(04:05):
the halftime show. Most of a chance to talk about that.
The halftime show people went overwhelmed by but it was
pretty hard to keep up with that. It would be
pretty hard to be to beat our bad Bunny who
was so extraordinary at the super Bowl. Unbelievable the staging.
So you get in touch on talk on eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine. The other thing I want
to talk about is cell phone addiction. But there's a

(04:29):
twist with this. I wouldn't mind talking about cell phone addiction,
but what I wouldn't mind to talk about is what
are the videos that you can't stop watching? I mean,
I don't want to reveal too much about myself, but
I did land on a guy that was buying storage units,
and I'll tell you what I mean, Nothing happens, but
it's quite interesting. But anyway, that's just me. I just

(04:52):
wonder what the what is your not your secret guilty,
not your guilty, please you just wonder about the because yeah,
I mean, these days are anything good? You'll find yourself
watching it, won't you And I'm curious to know what
the things that you watch that you're saying about your watching. Anyway,
get in touch on until John and to Marcus.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Good evening, Hello, Marcus. I was very disappointed with the
lead item on TV one tonight's news or it was
all the World Cup when a wonderful New Zealand golfer
it just won the British Open. For God's sake, that's

(05:31):
more important than soccer that certainly my generation hardly ever watch.
And I'm very disappointed with TV one that they didn't
put Foxy on first.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
What you're thinking, is it from your generation hate football?
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well it was never hardly ever mentioned.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, but are you living in twenty twenty six or
nineteen fifty six. I mean, you've got to move with
the times a bit on. I mean it's pretty interesting,
he said, in my generation. But you know, I mean
the world change, the world does change.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
There was nothing wrong with my generation, Marcus. We we
had everything right and the latter generations have stuffed it up.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
But you need to probably acknowledge that probably times have
moved on. Yeah, I don't want I mean most people
now wouldn't watch the sixth I mean, there's a generation
to watch the six News and I'll see that as
the way that the world order is supposed to be.
Oh gosh, they've pushed. They've put football before golf. That's
the beginning of the end. But anyone, anyone, anyone under

(06:43):
fifty or sixty, gave up watching six news bulletins years
ago because they've realized we can actually find our own
news rather than get dictated it.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, the trouble, as you see, I don't have a
cell phone, I don't have a computer. But that's that's
my choice. And but you know, if if New Zealand
had won the World's Football Cup, I would accept very
much so that it should be number one on the news.

(07:14):
But we didn't win it. And it's all about but
hang on dying in Argentina.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
But John, how many? I mean, god, golf, there is
endless tournaments. There's a tournament every week. Golf, Football's every
win it Lydia Co won often.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yes, I know, but here's here's Fox. He's won five million.
For God's sake? How much so much of our New
Zealand soccer players won the amounts?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Is it the amount of money that you win. That's
the news.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
No, of course it's not.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
No, it's just that I was very disappointed because I
would have thought they would have put golf ahead of
soccer tonight, particularly that a New Zealand they had done
what only I think There are only four other news
three other news.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Beldia, the Belidia Co. There'll be Bob Charles and there
will be Michael Campbell.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, and it was rare and it was a brilliant performance.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
And did you watch you had this?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yes? I did.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Did you say you don't have a computer and you
don't have a cell phone, but you've got Sky TV?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yes, and I can record.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I'll go you.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Oh, I'm reasonably modern, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Here's the text, John, you're a free said man. I'm
in my seventies and watched the World Cup. I think
you're one eyed. At least Foxy gotta mention sad man. Marcus.
I disagree with John all sports. Sureies still should wait
until the designated sports section. After six thirty, TV three
three News lead with Foxy.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh, good on them, Good on them.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's because they wouldn't have had the rights to the footage.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Probably oh god knows, but anyway, Oh well, nice talking
to you.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Talking to you too, John, and I appreciate you way
the world works. Goodness me. You Zelling got more money
from the World Cup than Ryan Fox. He'siling got fifteen million.
So there we go. Who get in touch with you
on Talk eight hundred and eighty ten eighty But yeah,
you know, why would you let TV in z reflect

(09:27):
you what your world is? People get up in arms
about what's the lead story? But you know these days
you should be put together your own bulletin from your
different news sources or doing what you want. Get in touch. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine dext Marcus
till twelve with the Golden Age of golf?

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (09:43):
And what you're hooked watching on Facebook? Because a lot
out there isn't there. There's some interesting content, there's some
interesting content, there's some terrible content, and there's some terrible content.
You'd be surprised how interesting it is. I'm with her, Marcus.
The opener is pretty prestigious. Go Foxy, where do we
start calling them Foxy? I totally agree with your last call.

(10:04):
I do in a computer a cell phone with Ryan
Fox winning British Open the first time at Kibi is
what it's in sixty three. This is top, top, top
news as far as US it is concerned. Whether Spain
bit Argentina or not is pretty irrelevant. When little guy
of the Lot of the World wins the British Open,
that's top news, Marcus. One of my favorite YouTube subjects
is and titled Americans getting put in their place and

(10:25):
road rage VIDs. I agree with John. Someone says when
did he win?

Speaker 7 (10:29):
It?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Was it this morning or yesterday? I was doing this
morning during the same time as the World Cup. To
get in touch, Marcus Still, twelve oh. I don't know
about golf. There's something to be said about a team
sport and then courages. I think team sport sports encourage
great well. I gotta say they're great, team spirited camaraderie,
but I guess the argies have kind of gone against

(10:49):
that with their mean spiritedness. Pay for every Paul, didn't they?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Anyway, Get in touch, Marcus Still, twelve oh, eight hundred
and eighty twenty nineteen nine to detext and the football
and your secret YouTube oosession. Brilliant. That's what we're on
about tonight. I'm talking about not man splainers, I'm talking
more about or the manners for I'm talking more about
people doing unusual things, because some of the people might

(11:16):
be interested what the unusual things people are doing are
Get in touch Marcus or twelve. You want to be
a part of it? Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to text. So it's a great one. What
leads the bullet and people get worked up about that,
don't they? Or this should be there, all that should
be there. I'm sure they've got reasons to do it.
A drunk man driving erradically onto even Southern Motorway was

(11:36):
discovered eating a roast dinner behind the wheel. Good on him.
Why but I shouldn't say that, But at least he
was eating cheapest. Get in touch if you want a partake.
By the way, does a moon day? This is the
day they walked on the moon. You'll know that, won't you.
Mankind's greatest achievement, and that is it always a great
day to talk about how people found about it here?

(11:59):
I think what happened here is I think that the
it was broadcasting US there and footage was broadcast that
had been flown across by the Air Force from Australia,
so we didn't watch it live, although people sometimes think
they did watch it live. The weird thing is for me,
I remember getting up a number of times in the
night to watch Luna walks and I've had no idea
now what they were, but there must have been a

(12:21):
bit of it. There must have been months of that
going on. So yeah, get in touch if you want
to talk. Oh eight hundred and eighty nine nine to text,
you want to come through and anything I sho want
to mentioned, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch.
Two people of our listeners predicted that Foxy would win
the well Am I calling him Foxy would win the Open.
Steve and Larance both predicted it. I suppose it is showin'

(12:44):
for the Halberg and France has got a shortage of
onions with the heat wave.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's got to a bad thing. Twenty one past eight,
Ben touched you want to talk Marcus till twelve. I'll
keep our day with news throughout the course of the
seems like the weather's gone quiet, doesn't it. The last
two weeks we had panic stories about weather, but it's
all been quite settled now or apart from last week's
quakes and a lot of talk about Queenstown and the quake.
I wonder seventy five percent chance of alpine fault AF

(13:14):
eight in the next fifty years. I don't know if
anyone's getting concerned about that, but I'm hearing more and
maybe that's a South Island obsession, and I'm hearing more
and more discussion about that. You don't hear about it
in Queenstown, but I certainly hear about it here. So
if you're too about that also too. Oh eight hundred
and eighty, ten eighty, Marcus till twelve anything I shoul
want to mention boom And if you watch the football

(13:37):
World Cup, Marcus, I agree with John. They had seventeen
minutes of World soccer. I too would have thought they
would have put Foxy first. I booked the World Cup
and watched every game, but today was a different day
for New Zealand sport. I think probably some of the
decisions they make would be about how exciting the video is.

(13:58):
You know, we've got all the goal and stuff like that,
whereas you just got to put you know, it's football
slightly more. I mean golf blessed, I mean have been following.
It's not that interesting. We're talking secret YouTube obsessions. There's
some there's some great texts coming to a can take
some calls about that as well. Marcus My secret watch

(14:19):
is historical videos, especially stories of families that relate to
Artiello in New Zealand, also of Scotland where most way
ancestors come from. Marcus My YouTube watching obsessions are Royal
Cam watching the Albatross Chicks grow in Dunedin. This year
is my fifth chick, The Bearded Thrift Machine, where this
couple buy storage units and you watch them see what's

(14:40):
in it. Some of the units have lots. I'll tell
you what, what's it with storage units? What's gone wrong
with people's lives when they've put their whole life in
a storage unit and then presumably died. I've kind of
fested by storage units. But the junk people like peck
old boxes, empty cartons and stuff. I think probably what

(15:01):
they need is a show where people they have counselors
that go and look at all this stuff and say, look,
why are you hanging onto the US? But yeah, look
to see there's someone opening a storage unit. I'mn't watching,
I'm watching to the end. What's what's what's back behind
that big TV that looks interesting? I'm saying to it,
never anything, never anything, never anything at all. And the

(15:25):
I mean, I just watch it and appalled by the
jump the junk people keep. That's the beginning of the end.
Everyone's got too much stuff, the reckon. That was the
beginning of the decline of civilization, when people started having
so much junk that the spare kids are full of junk,
and they're the garage and now they got storage unit's
full of junk. And the artwork, goodness me, the paintings,

(15:48):
Oh this could be valuable. Terrible kind of Andy Warhol copy. Anyway,
you Bennett's Marcus, good evening, You.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Get it, Marcus.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
I normally watch the e crash investigation on my tablet,
probably about half an hour before I go to sleep,
and my wife absolutely hates it, so I've got to
wear the headphones. But but it helps me get to sleep.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
And I'm watching watching ear crashes. Help you get to.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Sleep, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
Just look for a wall.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
They're going to get to sleep. And I just had
to find something that would get me to sleep. And
I just started watching this on YouTube one night and
now I've been watching one episode, you know, a night
for forever.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Are you dreaming of plane crashes?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
No?

Speaker 8 (16:38):
No, nothing like that, Marcus. But I think that's why
the wife hates it, because you know, quite often we
do jump on the plane and go on holiday. And yeah,
she doesn't like it for that. But it doesn't bother me.
But no, it helps me get to sleep.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Brilliant nice to hear from you, Ben, your secret obsession
the things you watch. Get in touch, Marcus. You proved
continually to be ignorant about our hugely popular sporting achievement,
and you Zeiland have won a serious golf corner tournament
only done by Kiwi three times before. Get over yourself
and stop the anti Fox obsession. You and your comments
only show how out of touch you are. I think

(17:11):
I've just read people's comments to be fair. I couldn't
care less. I don't know there's any sort of anti
Fox obsession. I thought he was kind of a beloved
sportsman that was probably going to win the Halberg. But
you know, each to their own cool TV in's Ed
corn Adia. I'm not doing the stuff. I don't run

(17:32):
the bulletin. But TV, maybe you should switch to TV three.
They lead with it. Everyone try to turns everything into
a competition between one person and another. Someone says, I
guess one billion plus worldwide viewers, might kazonk one million? Doubtful.
Golfer's tricky line to walk brilliant get in touch Hittle
twelve Calvin Marcus.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Good evening, very good because I rung up about the
mile with the Commonwealth Games. The first of all, very briefly.
I heard you mention about today the twentieth was the landing.
And what surprised me was either last year I think
it was last year, or the year before might have
been last year. On the radio and TV news they

(18:17):
disclosed that the greatest event for mankind in the last century,
in the previous century. And you know what they said,
It was the signing of the end of the surrender
of the Second World War.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Wouldn't They wouldn't compare to walking on a moon, would it.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Well, that's what they said that I wouldn't agree. I
wouldn't have agreed with that. They're walking on the Moon's
the most fantastic thing ever ever done. Anyway, I'm looking
forward to from Friday onwards the Comonwealth Games in Glasgow,
it'd be.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
One of those few, but I've not gon a sound
but yeah, but anyway.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Yeah, from Scotland there, and of course the marvelous thing
is is that they've got the mile in it that
hasn't been in the Commath Games for a little while.
So of course some people say, oh, the Comwealth Games
two keys, not the Olympics. But likewise I say the
Super the Super fifteen or what if it is rugby?

(19:19):
Who cares? Is not the World Cup. But the main
reason I rang up you mentioned so this.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Guy, this guy that got the world record. I presume
he'll be running. He doesn't run much, but will he
be running in the con Games?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Well, I would imagine. But this is the main reason
I rung up. I was going to ask you because
I'm just looking at the front of the page in
this morning's wage at the Times all about it and
him just and all it says is that he's British,
and I'm asking you what country is he from?

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Good point?

Speaker 5 (19:49):
Because if he is from Glasgow and the Comonwealth Games
from Gasco and he's going to be running there, we
could have another another world record, go on the.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Go what's his name?

Speaker 5 (19:59):
But I'd like to find out from you or one
of your heads. Josh k e R. Sometimes it is
pronounced car, is it really? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
I think he lives in Atlanta or something, doesn't he
He's a British runner. He's a British middle distance runner
from Scotland.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
From Scotland. Oh, Bonnie Scotland, well done, good Island.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
And the Common Games? Do they does? Do they compete
for the four home unions?

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Yeah? The Comwealth Games, that's how they build the numbers up.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
So Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Wales Island, Australia and
New Zealand and all the different island countries. Yeah, because
Northern Ireland was down here. Remember when the tape deck
broke and the guide to sing Denny Boy.

Speaker 10 (20:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Well, which is hopeous fifty three? I think it is
countries in the Comonwealth now and out of them are
about thirty five are what do you call them where
they've got a president? What's the word I'm trying to
think of.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Republics?

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Republics? Good on you? You're up with the ball. Tonight
to be got to be my line of work.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, down the road, down one otherwise you're running for Act.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you what that that chap is.
Is he on the new the new one for Act?
The chap law? Was he standing for Act?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Now?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Michael Laws are going from Ze first, Paul Henry is
going for Act?

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Well anyway, okay, the news on first, Michael Law he
needs a damn good haircut and a bloody shaved and
if if necessary, someone should hold him down and do it.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Because your generation, you'd lose votes for bad hair, wouldn't you.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Yes, yeah, okay, have you seen him on the have
you seen a photo of them or on the TV?

Speaker 3 (21:50):
He likes his heir lot, he's party at the back,
He's got that, he likes it long at the back.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
The word that actually describes.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
That, Calvin. People should be people should be able to
have the hair however they like without other people commenting.
That's here autonomy. I would never if I met you,
I'd never say japers, creepers. I think your here's your
haircuts a bit of a shock.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well, in a way, in a way, you're right, you
are correct. And because if you if you call that
to me in the street today, Calvin, you want to
speak to me for a minute, and if you had
your sunglasses on top of your head keeping the sunshine
off your head, I would say remove them. And if
you did not, just turn around and walk off.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Actually agree with you about that.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Oh, at least we agree on something good on New Marcus.
When you come into the tron again, I'll be.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
On the early August. I'll be on the train.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
I'll be on the lookout for you.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, I'll be at the I'll be at the Seafood Grotto. So, yeah,
that's what that's my that's my pilgrimage on the train
to the Seafood Grotto. Said, It'll be sometime in August.
Lock it in anyway, twenty four away from nine, Nina,
I'm still getting I still can't hate text about the
the golf. Why are they attacking me? People I've got

(23:02):
I wouldn't care about what's on Fucke winning the Claret
Jaggers bigger than the America's Cup and up with any
Olympic gold medal. You have dug yourself a hole stopped.
I haven't seen anything. I've said. The TV and Z
can do what they want. These are Texters. I couldn't
care less. What's the top of the bulletin, but each
to their own goodness, Ben says Marcus, why don't you

(23:24):
play golf? You'd be up there brilliant anyway, get in touch,
Hittle twelve, oh wait, twenty three away from nine. I
hope you people know that the texts are sent and
by listeners. It's not stuff I make up and read out.
That's the way it works. Peter's Marcus, good evening, you're
getting the mark.

Speaker 11 (23:44):
Do you hear the saying called a win win?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
No?

Speaker 11 (23:47):
You heard that saying before?

Speaker 3 (23:49):
What's the same?

Speaker 11 (23:52):
Never heard that saying before?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Sorry, Pete, are you are you asking me if I've
ever heard the saying win win?

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (24:00):
Wine, you must have heard of that saying.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
I wouldn't call it a saying, I'd call it an expression.

Speaker 11 (24:07):
Well, well there, I'll get back to that. They just
want to go on about the actual soccer. I watched
it today at the crowded house. Basically what happened was
I gave you a bit of a plug too. They
might get a few more lesseners from them, So basically
what I praised the crowded house. They've they've played all
the games of the of the final of the main

(24:27):
games at the end pretty much, but the only one
of the pubs in New Plumber that do that, and
they're very good. They put on a good breaking in
that basically had a brecky there and I did watch
the game and I still reckon. The Spanish leaders have
to win. It took a long time to get them
a goal of the early hell of benually a muscular goal.
You know you watched.

Speaker 12 (24:45):
Part of it.

Speaker 11 (24:46):
I heard you say that before, but what.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I watched from I watched fro about the eighty sixth minute.

Speaker 11 (24:49):
I think, yeah, they tried and tried. I felt sorry
for them. They had so many shots they just couldn't
get the damn thing in. And for the mathematics sort
of a conclusion, I thought, they must they be so persistent,
they've got to get one. In the end, they must
have missed buddy shot sixteen goal. They just listened, they tried,
giving that they weren't going in the I actually did

(25:10):
feel sorry for them that Wiley come alongstory short was
they got one and they were the better team on
the day because they were they had control of the
ball and they are smarter than the Argentinams. You're going
to give them it. They deserved the window cup, And
I just want to get about Donald Trump too. He likes,
he likes being the limelight, old Donald Trump. He likes
being taken photos only.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
I think he's quite passionate about football. He paid football
University and during his big day in the seventies, that
was when the first wave of commercial football was bigger
in New York. You know, I think PLA and people
were there, So he sort of was a bit of
a start. He was into that in those days. Trump
so he does like it. We're right about the news
bullets are not giving Ryan Fox the publicity he deserved.

Speaker 11 (25:52):
Yeah, I don't know too much about it.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
And to be honest, but fair enough.

Speaker 11 (25:57):
Thoughts all of it, but going on about the win
win side of it. Yeah, So basically what I got says,
you know about the art of TNA Gorge that night
when you rung out when they closed it. So I've
actually got an article you have a look on yours thing.
Go on the w w Operenaky Coastal News dot co

(26:18):
dot in Z and page four you'll see my article
about the hut that's got I've got a leader to
the editor and the number page four. Read that and
I just mentioned thanks to Marcus for announcing that it
was closed, and I wouldn't have not known. I would
have missed my appointment for my cardiologists that next day.

(26:41):
What happened then, I want to thank you for doing
what you do. Letting people know what you do. You
good at doing it. You let people know what things
are people what wouldn't know it wasn't for you letting
people emergencies. You're through good at doing. I keep that workout,
but if.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Really filled my bucket with that, Pete, I appreciate the
shout out from you too, So that's great. Thank you
Goodness nine one one one one. If heard about the bression,
win win the saying here on midnight, my name is Marcus.
Good evening text goodness me. A lot of texts coming in.
People quite antsy. By the way. I have no problem

(27:17):
with people calling it football or soccer. People still get
triggered by that. I always say, as long as people
know what you mean. So his only soft men play football,
real men walk around a lovely landscape garn with regular
breaks wearing business casual golf was often the course of conflict.
I think a husband getting up early to play golf

(27:38):
and not telling his wife that would be gone all
day will be the thing that triggers World War III.
It seems to me that a lot of people are
very defensive suddenly about golf, like like it's like the
like the Philip. Yeah, I can't quite work out where
the strong feelings are coming from. Anyway, sixteen to nine
back atcher, I guess people can enjoy both golf and football.

(28:04):
That would be my answer, and said, how dare that
call a miss an appointment at the hospital for soccer
that someone could have, that someone else could have had.
I think people are actually getting too freaked out about stuff.
I don't think. I think he's conflating two stories. I
don't think that the gorgeous closed on the same day
as the soccer. If one's a bit quick to judgment,

(28:24):
aren't they? What's that about? Anyway, dB, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (28:28):
I've had to google my way through that. I've got
a title for your next book, The Tribulations of a
late night talk their host.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Late night doesn't feel like late night to me. It
feels like early evening. But I guess that's me. Yes,
I could do.

Speaker 13 (28:42):
That, technically, depends on what times I want to live
in and I think on three subjects late for talking
to you. I don't want to talk about storage.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Does not want to talk about I want to talk
about your secret YouTube Facebook obsessions, the videos you can't
stop watching and what Why do people's lives go so
wrong that they just do sell their storage units? Do
they die some of them?

Speaker 14 (29:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (29:07):
Oh, they don't pay their bill and after a while ago,
I don't know what was in there anyway, so it
doesn't matter. And that's sort of where I come into
this play. I have a twenty foot storage container outside
by front door. Of course you do, because when I
moved house, I brought physically purchased two twenty foot containers.

(29:29):
I bought one Filder, and then I had to buy
another one. The one outside is still full to the
gunnels six years later. The stuff. I have no idea
what's in there, and I only to walk out my
front door to find out it's not as far. I've
got to get in the car, drive halfway across town,
pay somebody sixty dollars to get into my own units.

(29:49):
It's outside by front.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Door, So you you bought it, yes.

Speaker 13 (29:54):
I figured it'd be cheaper for me to move house.
I'd need to move house from Peckton down to Nightcaps,
and I came up with one of my bright ideas.
I'll buy a container. I can get a single trip,
which means it's only driven, it's only traversed China to
New Zealand once and sold so brand new container about
grand and then we filled that up with the fountain. Oh,

(30:19):
still got half a house load, so for another one.
That sort sold one of them.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
So you're a man. You're a man on your own.

Speaker 13 (30:29):
I co own a house with a partner, not a
partner and a flatmate.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Okay, so what why have you got a houseful?

Speaker 15 (30:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (30:43):
You just accumulate.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
But it's clearly not necessary for you because you don't
haven't gone into it.

Speaker 13 (30:48):
Yeah, and you know, we'll say often something will come
up and say we're such and such an item. I
will go and buy one, and then you know, six
months later you're digging in the container. Oh there's that
I think we're looking for. Now we have three of them.
Anything we forgot we've brought.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
One is anything of value probably, So what would most
of it be? It's not old boxes and empty boxes
and stuff, is it.

Speaker 13 (31:12):
Yeah, there's a lot of collectible scientific instruments. Those are mine.
There's I'm just trying to visualize what's in there. I
think there's about six vacuum cleaners.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
But this, but this, this screams dysfunction to me. But
you don't sound dysfunctional.

Speaker 13 (31:35):
I don't think we're dysfunctional. It's just life keeps saying, Hey,
here's a new item, buy this and buy it, and
what do we do with the old items still going
the container?

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Do you think that you're Do you think that you're
of my generation that things that were once considered valuable
and things to cherish, like toasters and vacuum cleaners, are
now cheapest chips, and we're not good at throwing them away?
Is that what it is? But when things are more
that we think things are more valuable than they are.

Speaker 13 (32:04):
Not only that, but also some of the things from
our childhood. In my case, scientific instruments, I hugely beally
well because I wasn't as stick by fingers with them
when I was young. So I go out and buy
it now that I'm a I was gonna say now
I'm an adult. Now I'm an old adult because I
can deal with them what I like.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So all this stuff is about a child, a childhood
where you didn't have a lot of stuff.

Speaker 13 (32:35):
I didn't need a lot of stuff when I was
a childhood, but I saw some really interesting stuff that
I wanted to have a fiddle with, and that never
left me because I've got an inquiring mind.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Okay, well that's a good thing, but you don't want
to fiddle with it now because it's all stuck out
in the front of your house.

Speaker 13 (32:50):
I've still want some things in the house that I
play with. But yeah, no, you're quite right. I've moved on.

Speaker 15 (32:56):
You know.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
I bought a Metala balance. It's good for thousands of
a milligram. It's out there gathering dust because I've moved
on for something else.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Is your house itself clutted?

Speaker 9 (33:10):
Just look around the room.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yes, lovely to talk DV seven away from nine. I
am interested in people with too much stuff because I
don't think it's a good way. I don't think it's
very freeing. But it's hard to know what stuff you're
gonna Well, of course there was that woman, right, there
was that woman when condo, and she's all about cleaning

(33:36):
up and minimizing your house. But then she got it
all wrong. Had did she ever breakdown something which she
realized she needed more stuff? I think I think she
had kids and she gave up.

Speaker 9 (33:44):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
What they started living in chaos because kids have a
lot of stuff, don't they. So also talking about the
things you watch the most, the YouTube videos, the Facebook,
things that you've got hooked on. World Cup every four years,
watched by billions, golf every year. Only the elite can
afford to play. Goodness, Marcus and team played golf on

(34:05):
and off all my life. Currently run a business and
stock forham. We've had one hour of talkback on Foxy
and Sport, but don't expect all the hosts to talk
about in the next forty eight hours. Keep out your
good work, Viny dig albody. So the situation with the
golf was that John rang up and he said that
he didn't think TV and Z should have led with
the football, they should have led with the golf, and
apparently TV three lad with the golf. But they'll have
their own decisions, and I think some of the decisions.

(34:28):
I mean, you're doing a TV bullet and what it's
I think what dictates. It's a visual medium too, so
it's probably where the best pictures are and TV and
Dead had rights to the football, so they would have
had a advantage there that TV three didn't have, so
they would have gone with that. I would have thought,
that's my take on it, because TV three is Sky TV. Now,
I think, okay, we've got the rights, Well, we'll play

(34:49):
to our strengths. And I know a lot of people,
a lot of people had missed out what happened with
the football because they had to go to work. I mean,
both my boys came home from school and watched the
highlights because they were watching them they had to go
to school, and they were curious to see what the
goal was like. I want the send off was like
and what the fight was like at the end. So yeah,
so I think that's a situation. But you know, Spain

(35:10):
was a great achievement winning their second I think it's
their second football World Cup, and Ryan Fox great achievement
winning the golf. I don't necessarily know the amount of
money as the keif of Ryan Fox. I think it's
a I don't know how much Bob Charles Scott when
he won it a long long time ago. Welcome and
good evening, Marcus here till twelve o'clock tonight. It's good

(35:33):
with you are Everyone seems to be a playful mood tonight,
which is good. And we are talking about we're starting
about the sport because someone was concerned that Ryan Fox
hadn't got the attention they've deserved in the sports bulletin. Well,
if you're not happy, changed channels or get your news elsewhere,
that would be my answer to that. I was surprised
that I haven't heard much attention or much excitement or

(35:55):
celebration of the guy that's gone and broken the world
record in the mile. He's the first guy to break
the world record the century, which I thought was kind
of amazing, but it seemed to have gone really under
the radar, and I don't quite know why that is.
I think it's still seen as one of the great
achievements ever. This is the guy, Josh Kerr, and he
smashed it. He had special shoes, they were Brooks. But

(36:16):
I think that's the problem is Scotsman. So that's what
we are talking about today. But then we've moved into
your videos that you're obsessed with watching, and there's a
lot of them. If you want to talk about that,
get in touch. Someone's also talking about the lunar walk. Marcus,
this really is remarkable. It took humanity sixty six years

(36:38):
to go for the first powered airplane flight in nineteen
oh three to walking on the Moon in nineteen sixty nine.
This extraordinary era represents one of the most rapid monumental
leaps and technological advancement in human history, occurring within a
single human lifetime. It's put like that. It's amazing, sixty
six years from flight to the moon. I love watching
car of practice videos on YouTube. The cracking is amazing.

(37:03):
There's a lot of comments about golf. My guilty pleasure
on YouTube is either slapped ham or kesper site videos
on the paranormal UFO encryptids. Wow, by the way, are
we supposed to call them foxy? And maybe someone could
tell me go off and wondered about that. What were
the videos? What were the shows I would have got
up at the middle of the night to watch. Were
they subsequent lunar walks? Good evening, Peter, it's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (37:25):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus. Just going about the guy that
run the mile three forty two six six the Commonwealth
Games this year. Usually it's symmetric mile fifteen hundred meters,

(37:46):
but this year they've decided a one off.

Speaker 9 (37:51):
A special mile race.

Speaker 16 (37:54):
Now I'm just thinking when I hear Tonight and Matt
and I'm just thinking to myself, that guy that broke
the record. We get the African runners in there, we
could see that record be lowered again.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
And he has said he will be competing.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
He is competing, is he? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (38:15):
He has said that.

Speaker 16 (38:16):
Yeah, one of two things will happen. I was a
runner many years ago. I'm ninety years old now. But
the Africans, it doesn't matter whether it's Ethiopia, Kenya or wherever.
They run as a team and if the pacers on

(38:38):
at the start, we could see another world record. And
that's something I'm really looking for to because I can
go back to nineteen fifty four when they had what
you call the mile of the Century at the Commonwealth

(39:00):
Games in Canada, when John Landy of Australia came up
against the first man to break the four minute mile,
Roger Banister. And that was my remember seeing that in
the movies Year the First Banister nineteen fifty four, there

(39:32):
was Banister Landy who was going to break the four
minute mile first. Now in our summer here Landy was
running four one four to four one, but he couldn't
quite do it. Then we had our winter, which is
the English summer. And I remember rightly on the sixth

(39:58):
of May at a place called if Lee Row Banister
and Chris Chataway. He was five thousand meter runner and
Chris Brasher was a steeple chaser, and they ran and
Banister ran three fifty nine point four. Then at the

(40:23):
Commonwealth Games in Canada the same year it was considered
the mine of the century Landy Banister, where we all
know what happened coming down the Strait. Landy was leading
most of that race. He was doing all the donkey work,
and he looked round to have a look over his

(40:46):
left shoulder just as Banister went past. Banister ran three
fifty eight point eight point eight, outside Landy's world record,
which he ran in a place called Turkey. In Finland
he ran through fifty eight even And in the Calm

(41:10):
Games Bannister first Land he was second and three fifty
nine point four olive.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
With the Pittman. Thanks so much. That nice to hear
from you, markets Marcus good evening, there.

Speaker 12 (41:23):
You go, Marcus Good, thank you, mad What do you
reckon we should burn night old Foxy, but we should
be calling him. We should be calling him Ryan Golfie
and then night him up. Make another statue because everyone
seems to get some pretty bloom and damn easy these days.

(41:44):
But how many years of the being since the kiwis
weren't one?

Speaker 2 (41:47):
What one?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
This big open the British world?

Speaker 12 (41:54):
Yeah, well, as you said before, I think so many
years since the last personal one.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Well, there's there's world majors in this.

Speaker 12 (42:01):
Brit New Zealand roaming.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
I think Bob Charles one at night in sixty three.
I think Michael Campbell's.

Speaker 9 (42:09):
Michael Michael, Oh, Michael Campbell.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Right, two thousand and six, and I think lidiar Coe
has won three of them.

Speaker 12 (42:17):
Work it there you go? Well, has she been nine
a year or she's been dame?

Speaker 3 (42:23):
She has been? Yeah, you're right, she has been well.

Speaker 12 (42:26):
Fox he must be doing well?

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Do we call him foxy? The people? Do people call
them foxy?

Speaker 12 (42:32):
I right think so? Thought they were referred join as
Ryan Fox?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah I did too, that's right.

Speaker 10 (42:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (42:37):
I think he's old man and he's just done his
old man Doney's old man in one tournament yeah, Foxy
probably only isn't in his whole career.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Yeah, okay, nice If Mark think it's fifteen past nine,
Pete here why they know cricket highlights on the TV
it's always rugby or football, but never cricket. I think
a lot of it comes down to rights now. I
think because the rights you can't just all sorts of
different media companies have brought the rights sporting events and
they won't let other media companies have the rights to them.

(43:11):
And of course you TV's in in places like that
are broke because they've got no money, because all the
money is going to Google and Facebook. So that's why
I think a lot of the order of sport on
the bulletin is dictated by what they've got. Footage of
Marcus Beavery keip with YouTube. I was scrolling through YouTube
and came across a stream of live turtles being dissected.
Didn't realize what it was at first. Marcish Turkish TV

(43:35):
series have been my daily watch. Goodness, meddle of tectives
and magnet fishers. You don't know about the magnet fishes.
They get a lot of junk, They get a lot
of safe and old motorbikes, and surely before long everything
will be magnet fished out, won't it. Anyone done magnet
fishing in New Zealand embarrassed to do it? So your
secret Facebook YouTube watches are also to the merits of

(43:59):
whether in fact people should be well. I just people
get upset by what sports on them on the TV
leading the bulletin. It's what people are getting upset by,
not me. It's been a long time since I've watched
the six scot news. You're gonna be another bird this week.
We'll have bird fly imagine probably that'll be happening both
on the North Island so far Attorney and Carterton. But

(44:20):
the eggs will go soon, I reckon. I'm not saying
that wilfully do. What's happening with the price of guess either,
I can look that up. And what about storage units?
What's happened with people's lives when they're having storage units?
Can't quite work out what that's about. I see these
ones where they sell them for next to nothing. What's
happened to those people? Have they died? Are the secret
witness scheme? I struggle with that. You're given magnet fishing

(44:45):
ago Evan.

Speaker 9 (44:46):
Yeah, yeah, not my choice, Yeah, not my choice. Yeah,
I got an old speaker, the making it off the
back of one of those and to get the keys.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Take you long?

Speaker 9 (45:00):
Nah? No, only a couple of minutes right down the pier.
And what sort of depth It was actually low tie,
so that wasn't very deep. Maybe two minutes two and
a half meters.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Do you get anything else?

Speaker 7 (45:14):
No?

Speaker 9 (45:14):
No, no, it's just every to get the keys.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Did you and you couldn't repair the speaker or you can.
I don't know much about speakers.

Speaker 9 (45:21):
It was a bagged speaker anyway. Or we when you're
thrashing for a while, the cardboard goes eventually.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that. You've seen that, well
the house.

Speaker 13 (45:32):
Keys, your khakis everything keys?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Oh yeah, okay, I thought you guys had them on
like a boy. So they went overboard that float.

Speaker 9 (45:40):
Yeah, I've got got a bit of bird watching cork
key ring at the moment, but I don't know, I
don't know for the float.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Tell me a bit about that.

Speaker 9 (45:50):
Oh, some lady was giving them my at half Moon
Bay by rent.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
To promote to promote bird watching.

Speaker 9 (45:56):
Oh, I think it's promote uh fish rocks and birds
and stuff like that.

Speaker 11 (46:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
So they're giving a fishermen to say, put your pack
up your hocks because the birds will get them.

Speaker 9 (46:10):
Yeah, they're giving out bamphlets and all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Oh good, you'd be a responsible fisherman, wouldn't.

Speaker 9 (46:17):
You made I feed to see girls.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Brilliant, So we want to hear even thank you twenty
three past nine. I'll wait one hundred eighty tendy nine
two nine to text hoarding and videos. Oh, get in
touch if you want to be a part of it.
I'll keep going down the news throughout the course of
the are what time's UK Prime Minister in waiting speaking
eleven o'clock our time? But we won't go big on that.

(46:41):
He's going to go see the King. Then he's going
to become prime minister. But Starmer's going to go first
to see him. Poor old Starma ain't even there.

Speaker 9 (46:52):
Well.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
They thought the brit did pretty well to come third
in the World Cup. I reckon at the beginning of
the tournament, we said you'd be happy with third, they'd say, yep,
we would. It's my take. I'm not speaking for anyone.
Get in touch. You want to be a part of
the show. My name is Marcus, welcome. Anything else you
want to bang on about tonight? Oh, and the I'm
always interested in the footage of the moon walk. How

(47:14):
many times were the lunar walk showing on New Zealand
TV live or ostensibly live? But no one knows any
more about the broadcasting because today is the moonday July
twenty or that might have been July twenty one with
delayed when we got it, but that's neither hen nor there.
But I very much remember getting up in the middle

(47:35):
of the night to watch lunar activity, but it must
have been the subsequent walks. Could someone fact check that form?
I appreciate that because I think when the actual event
happened on this day on twentieth of July, New Zealand
did watch it, but it was in the afternoon and
we watched it. We watched footage that got flown across

(47:56):
from Australia, so it was three or four hours late
then broadcast. I don't think it was by Vice said
someone might know more about this. I do find that
kind of fascinating how much the world is in those years. So, yeah,
you've had something to say about that, they'd be great
to hear from your Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred
and eighty eighty nine nine text, to be good to
hear from you anything else you want to bang on
about tonight? That's great your show, remember that, Yepia. What

(48:21):
else can I tell you? It's moonday. It's also the
day Viking one landed on Mars. I guess that was
the done to tide And that was seven years later.
Quite interesting article to day about the dust on the Moon.
They weren't quite sure how dust it was going to be,
and apparently the lunar dust is very sharp, and all
twelve men who walked on the Moon experienced short term

(48:45):
respiratory problems from inhaling the sharp dust, and it wore
down vacuum seals and the astronauts boots, and it scratched
astronaut Harrison Schmidt sunshade so badly in Peter's vision covered
with countless microscopic knives, and they all carry a charge
so they stick to things. So the dust, the sharp

(49:06):
dust on the moon is real problematic. Twenty five past
Get in touch Marcus Till twelve, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine nine two de text marcaus, I
don't believe they went to the moon the first time?
What the first time? Why is it taking so long
to go back? Love your show? Twenty minutes of soccer
on the first headline of one news your people see

(49:27):
are really quite triggered by that. The reason they didn't
go back to the Moon is because it was so expensive.
It's about bankrupted the country, unbelievably expensive. But it is
flawed logic to say that they didn't do something because
they didn't do it again. Yeah, I've been to the shop.
Don't believe you? Why not we never been back? I mean,

(49:50):
can you say here ridiculous? That sounds. I have nothing
but pity for people that are moon deniers, because if
you've gotta if you're going to think of exciting and
correct things to believe in, you think you'd find something
more original and more exciting. That's just me though. Twenty

(50:12):
seven past ten, twice nine plenty of people recording listening
to the Lunar Walk on the radio. I'm pretty sure
it was. I mean, it was on the TV, but
I'm just trying to work out with those other ones.
Our geography to Classificatory University. Listen to the moon Landing
Live and our Professor's Radio on this day in nineteen
sixty nine, unforgettable. Great, that's Penelope. Get in touch if

(50:34):
you want to talk about that and your secret YouTube obsessions.
Also tonight and the mile with the world record of
that or anything else you want to talk about. Eight
hundred eighty ten eighty. If you want to text, do
that too, Get in touch. All the lines are free
if you want to be a part of it. Welcome
to the show. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and anything

(50:54):
goes het Tel twelve. And we're talking about cell phone addiction.
What are the what are the videos you'll found yourself?
What are you? What's your secret shame? You can't give
up because I'm going to tell you what. Sometimes you
watch them, we think, well, at least it's something to
watch and think I'll keep watching that. I'm kind of
like that with silly old people bidding for storage sheds.

(51:17):
It's pretty depressing and nothing much happens, but they're kind
of easy to shoot it to kind of fascinate to
see what's going to come out. That's my take, and
I'm sure most of stuff I don't get much money for
the districts in America with storage and transportation must customer fortune.
But oh well, it'd been exciting. I mean, be addictive
to be bidding on storage sheds. Be very addictive because

(51:40):
you always think the next one is going to be
the mother load full of gold bullion. Now they're looking
at computers to if there's bitcoin in there. John, AT's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 14 (51:50):
Are you Marcus?

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Who are you good?

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Thank you?

Speaker 8 (51:52):
John?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yes, sir, I won't complain about who's first and second
on TV tonight, thank you. Well, I will complain about
them not keeping it right to the end and just
before the dingo and name, by the way, what Fox
has won the British Open?

Speaker 14 (52:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Okay, a bit of reverse I called you there, Yep,
it's just yeah, it's really silly. It's the first world issue,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
It's funny that people are waiting to see something on
the sixth. What time did he win the Open?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Well, I'm like yourself, I don't watch the news.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
I imaginally one of this morning, did he.

Speaker 11 (52:34):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Yes, yes, so it's not news if it's twelve hours old,
is it?

Speaker 2 (52:40):
No?

Speaker 17 (52:40):
No?

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Actually you would have he would have won it in
the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yeah, that's like that't work out? Why people have to
wait for twelve hours to see something?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Yeah, yeah, golf was only one of the things I
watched on Facebook. Is actually these young fellows they pull
up the side of golf courses in they hon ko
big outspeaka warm, they're going to bring the ball. I
get a lot of plenty out of there, and it
makes me feel very similar. I wonder if I listen, now,
what's that on?

Speaker 9 (53:11):
Can you watch that?

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I just all you do is just you just punch
it in. Everythink's you know, you just ask what you
will receive.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
And that's the thing is you as you drive past
golf course and to your horn.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yeah, oh, this is a big thing in America. They
do it and it's a it's hilarious mate. It's they
get chased. They get golf clubs chucked at the car
and they get all these old old men chasing them
with golf clubs.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
That's funny, Hey, that is really funny.

Speaker 14 (53:39):
It is.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
And it's where they wield.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
They film it from. They're in cars and they film
it from the cars.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Do they They film it from the car and they're
always about roughly twenty or thirty meters away, so it's
a good good shot and you get to see everything
you know. And I don't.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Imagine as anything the golfers can do to stop there,
apart from ignoring it.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
They don't. They fire up. They're very quote, they're quote quote.
The character golfer is quite aggressive, manish you with golf
golf cover in your hand. Yeah, and a very litt
pompous characters very ognoxiously stuck in their own wield. Ryan
Fox singms to be a bit of a enigma where

(54:24):
he's a bit of a Kiwi bloke and dresses like chiv,
sounds like kiv x Kiwi. Yeah, and then there's golfers.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
I'm hearing you, John, Thank you. Twenty four to ten. Marcus,
July nineteen sixty nine. I was a month of tilling
and five. I remember my father holding in front of
our black and white TV and putting to the screen,
employing me to remember this moment, Marcus. What it makes
me as a small child watching the moon landing on
our black and white TV was the fact that TV
was on in the morning, not the moon landing. What time, Marcus.

(54:54):
I wonder if the moon landing led the six PM news.
If it happened twelve hours before, I imagine it probably
would have twenty four to nine ten. I want to
hear about the YouTube videos or the Facebook videos that
you have become unwittingly addicted to, because yeah, why are
they addictive? I suppose they're calming to watch and nothing

(55:16):
too much happens. It's my take on that. And also
storage and just on that tech with storage wars, what's
going on with your life when you have to get
a storage shed and all your stuff goes in one
of those and then you gotta auction it off. I
suppose it's just probably the stories when life goes bad
for people, isn't it. They die and they've forgotten, No,
they don't tell, they've got no will, and no one

(55:37):
knows whose it is. It's kind of pretty poignant, I think. Anyway,
That's what I'm on about tonight, So get in touch
if you want to talk here till twelve. Anything else
you want to bang on about, Let's feel free. I'll
be curious about those those those lunar landings, the luna
walks at nighttime, So why would have I have that memory?

(55:58):
With nighttime broadcasts and the fact that no one's actually
telling me the answer. I'm wondering if I've mentioned it.
A videotap was recorded in Australian flying an uten under
two and a half hours. That's the way we got
the original one. So you might have some takes on that.
Janet's Marcus, good evening, Are you good? Thank you? Jenko.

Speaker 7 (56:21):
I don't know about lunar activity. There's plenty of lone
activity going on. Did you hear about those I don't
know which astronauts or which country they were from. I
think Americans And they were looking out the window and
all of them saw angels outside the window of their rocket.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Was it on the news broadcast?

Speaker 12 (56:47):
Jen?

Speaker 7 (56:48):
Oh, well, I'll beg. Yeah. They all testified to say
it was true.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
You know, I haven't.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
I didn't. I haven't heard about the astronauts and the angels.

Speaker 7 (56:57):
Yeah. I thought that was wonderful. About those the bird
flu These people I saw on Telly walking along the
beach looking for dead birds. They had gloves on and
they picked up I think two dead birds and put
them in a bag. And they're all wearing their shoes
and they're ordinary clothing, no protective gear on at all,

(57:20):
and this is how these things spread. You see, they
don't wear proper protective gear and they don't use infection control,
those swimsy little plastic gloves on. So stupid people.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
But Jan, they would know more than you.

Speaker 7 (57:38):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Yeah, that's right, Jen. Why is that because that would
be the area of expertise.

Speaker 7 (57:45):
No, these are just people, common people.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Just that's been the advice is you've just got to
glove up.

Speaker 7 (57:51):
If you're going to grab a bird, Oh, you're going
to get all feathers or bits and virus flicking onto
your clothing and your shoes, and you're going to be contaminated.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
I don't think you will be. I'm trained, but there's
not thousands of people walking around now with But I
don't think it's for evere. I think it's for every
hard for humans to get bird flu.

Speaker 7 (58:17):
It's not so much the humans. That's just what it's
going out here, coming on board. You know, it's not good.
People have got a wise up. I don't know as
much as I do. These said we're protective gear.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
What's been the advice for ministry?

Speaker 7 (58:38):
How would I know?

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Because you reckon, you're the expert.

Speaker 7 (58:42):
Well, I'm a nurse.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Yeah, but you're not a vet.

Speaker 7 (58:44):
No, you don't have to be. Just got to have
a but of common sense. It's the same. You know
these people that are it's another story. This man with
a sawmill cutting up Mark Kaper logs. I had no
protective gear for his eyes or his mouth breathing all that.

(59:05):
I am a sort of jim stuff And the next
thing you know, I'll have some lung infection that's in terrible. Yeah, stupid.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Thanks Jan sixteen to ten. Marcus. A lot of the
lunar landing deniers and ask why didn't they go back?
Don't realize there were six man lunar landing missions. They
did go back multiple times. For a good point, Marcus,
You're right about the footage being shown delayed. In New Zealand.
It was two boys and an arnz and af canbra
B twelve that thundered across post haste with the tapes

(59:35):
was either fourteen or seventy five squadron content of the
pilot's name. The old man probably could, but he will
likely be asleep. He flew them too. Listening from Arpia online,
Oh happy Arpia to you. My secret YouTube shame is
cat videos. I don't own a captain. I've watched hundreds
of cat videos, and a day wouldn't go by that

(59:55):
I wouldn't watch at least one cat video. Judging from
their popularity, I'm not alone. I've never ever wanted to
watch cat videos.

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Is that wrong?

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
I think it might be wrong. The advice from Ministry
about birds keep your distance, stay away. The best way
to give sick wildlife for chance is to leave them alone.
Don't touch or move sick or dead wildlife. Wash your
hands and clean your gear after being outdoors. There we
go fourteen from ten eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

(01:00:25):
They went back six times. Yeah, I don't get us
upset about the lunar deniers. Now, I just think, oh, well,
that's that's your that's your stick. Be an idiot and
ah if people want to do that, steal its Marcus.
Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:00:43):
Are you evening?

Speaker 6 (01:00:44):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Thank you? Steal yourself?

Speaker 9 (01:00:45):
Not too bad, not.

Speaker 18 (01:00:46):
Too bad, just finished work.

Speaker 9 (01:00:48):
So yeah, it's good, good on you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
You know, what's what's the.

Speaker 18 (01:00:52):
Broadcast being on at night time was back then? It's
quite a rarity for a TV to beyond it early
or that late.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is when the man walked
on the Moon for the first time this day in
nineteen six nine, right, I think it was screened in
New Zealand in the early afternoon, about three o'clock. But
I definitely remember. I definitely remember getting woken out of
bed to watch people on the TV walking on the

(01:01:20):
Moon in the early morning or the middle of the night.
And I've got no idea when that was.

Speaker 18 (01:01:24):
Okay, my memory is not that good at the best
of times.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
How old are you, steal sixty? Oh yeah, I'm the
same age. So I was trying to wonder about that.
You must have yeah, okay, I can't work out what
it is, Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:01:37):
Yeah, that's so.

Speaker 18 (01:01:38):
I can definitely remember the rarity of TV being on
played at night and early in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
That was quite a thing just to stay out for.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
And I wonder if some of the later lunar walks
were actually live, because the technology had improved by then.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Probably. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Yeah, I'll see if I can. Yeah, I'll see I
can find out to steal. But thanks for coming through
ten away from ten. I'll see if I can find
out more information. I mean, they're pretty boring to I mean,
remarkable to what, But yeah, it does say. According to AI,
subsequent lunar walks were not regularly or broadcast to the
KIWI as low Global festination waned. I don't know that's right,

(01:02:17):
so I mean in my memory, Marcus. Ryan Fox won
the sports announced one as a sports announcer was reporting
just after the five thirty a US that that's when
that happened. Marcus. My video addiction at the moment is
cave diving horror stories. Some great stories out there, David Marcus.

(01:02:39):
The golf course guy is hilarious. I've just seen this.
One driver honks his car horn reallouned for about thirty seconds.
The golfer throws his golf club at the driver. Marcus.
This is not my guilty pleasure, but my cats. She
will watch cat TV until my arm aches, loll and
grab my phone if I take it away. That is
a cat watching cat videos. It's pretty interesting. I wasn't

(01:03:02):
sure that cats could watch TV. I'm seventy three and
I got up before everyone else in the household, so
would have been the first thing in the morning. Abapt
six thirty am. Hi, Yes, one amish question Mark Luna
landing on TV stated of friends and they couldn't wake me.
Was not real old? Was it about sixty nine? Yeah,
that's what I can't work out. I'm sure I got
up in the middle of the night. I would have

(01:03:24):
known if it was three in the afternoon. I wasn't
dim who you were. Eight from ten. Some of the
experts out there plan there'd be some planet our heads
out there that will know. Good evening, Carl, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:03:37):
Yeah, good a Marcus him. I'm sure the moon landing
was in the afternoon, in the daytime. I was in
Queen Street with my mother and we were looking at
it on a TV through a shop window, and it
was in the daytime, the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Yeah. No, I'm aware of that carlor. We've talked about that.
But I'm trying to work out, Oh, there must have
been subsequent ones that were screened, because I certainly remember
getting up in the middle of the night to watch it,
and I can't work out when that when that would
have been.

Speaker 19 (01:04:08):
I see what you're saying. And one other thing I
want to add. I think the major election issue this
time round is going to be power prices and what
we do about it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
And I'll tell you what I'm noticing everyone is talking
about data centers.

Speaker 19 (01:04:25):
Yeah, well power power prices in general for average Kiwi,
Like I know, elderly people are too scared to turn
the heater on. Mate, it's sad.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
I think you're right, Carl, Marty. It's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Good evening, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:04:42):
We've got a new kitten and he quite well. She
quite likes watching got cat videos, but mouse videos, so
like a mouse running around on the TV or on
the laptop. She'll just sit there and watch. And she's
like three months old. Yes, she's quite into watching mouse videos.
That's pretty wacky.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
How did you come across a kitten, Marty?

Speaker 14 (01:05:06):
It got dumped at one of the cousin's farms, so
I think it's actually a domestic dumping cat, not a
not a wild cat. Ye, so so we just no
one in the family chat wanted it and our kids
were board, so those who doesn't take it And I said, yes, yep,
So yeah, we've got this cat. It's called what's it called, Frankie, Yeah, Frankie,

(01:05:32):
Frankie the kitten.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
I thought you, I thought you go for a new
Testament name like Felix.

Speaker 16 (01:05:38):
Or something Felix or or.

Speaker 14 (01:05:42):
No Frankie. We went with Frankie because we were sure
if it was a boy or a girl. And do
you know now to know now, Yeah, it's definitely a girl.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Yeah, okay, Oh, frank is a good name.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
I like that.

Speaker 14 (01:05:54):
Yeah, yeah, Frank's a good name. Frank, Frankenstein, Frankster. When
he's naughty, she's naughty.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
What's your video obsession, Marty? I quite like, well, magnet
to be a magnet fishing guy, wouldn't you.

Speaker 14 (01:06:08):
Yeah, I've just started watching a bit of magnet fishing.
But my brother has a great channel. My brother has
a great channel in England and it's called Shipwreck Simon,
and it's about him sailing around in his crappy old
yacht around England and France and Wales and the Silly
Isles and his crappy wooden yacht. Shipwreck Simon.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Who's he?

Speaker 14 (01:06:29):
My brother? Goodness, my brother, he's he's He lives at
the Cambridge University and he's married an older, rich lady
and he just goes sailing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
Why does he live at the university because that's.

Speaker 14 (01:06:43):
Where she works. He's like a homeless rugby player farmer guy.
And they met at the Edinburgh Comedy festival or some
sort of festival. I know he was.

Speaker 7 (01:06:57):
He was.

Speaker 14 (01:06:58):
I think he was just playing rugby and around England,
you know, as you do.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Sounds like he's got a charmed life. What does What's
is it a what sort of yours?

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:07:07):
It's just like a crappy Franchi or Anglish order yacht
from what the early nineteen hundred. It's pretty crappy, you know,
you know, you know, donk how they sailed over and
everyone it was like around that era. But but a
sailing and it's got to I think it's got to
track diesel. It might be a little bit later, but

(01:07:30):
it's got to diesel, track the engine and.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
I'll check it that out. Mary got'll make the quest
to shipwreck Simon Norman. Good evening, it's Marcus, Welcome, good Marca.

Speaker 15 (01:07:40):
Regarding the moon landings, I was at the time. I
was at the Henderson Traffic Department. I heard it on
the radio about ten o'clock, but we didn't have a
direct speed into the from the year. In those days,
they went into Australia and it was flowing. It was
a video that was flown across from Australia to New Zealand,

(01:08:02):
to show it online on TV.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
It came through about two or three o'clock.

Speaker 15 (01:08:07):
A that's right, that was actually a video became from Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Appreciate that, Norman.

Speaker 6 (01:08:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
They made good time. They must have rushed it for
newer Pie then rushed it to shortened streak to the
TV show, or maybe it went to I think, yeah,
but I'm curious about the ones that were broadcast during
the night. So we'll see if we can bang on
about that a bit more. It's coffee time for me,
so here's what's happening. So we are discussing. It is moonday.

(01:08:37):
We are discussing this day in nineteen sixty nine when
mankind first walked on the Moon and a broadcast in
New Zealand at around about two thirty. They flew the
footage from Australia and watched it broadcast terrestrial on TV
at about two thirty. But I remember getting up in

(01:08:57):
the middle of the night to watch something happening on
the moon, and someone has jolted my memory. In fact too,
things have Marcus. I'm six there. I remember being woking
in the middle of night. I walked into the living
room and saw my two older brothers jumping on the couch.
I knew straight away this was going to be something
big because we weren't allowed to jump on the couch.
I remember being put back to bed after it was

(01:09:18):
real exciting. Never forgot that it is Debbie. Then someone
else says, I remember those early morning Luna broadcasts too.
I think you are recalling the Lunar Rover broadcasts. So yeah,
that makes perfect sense to me. So could someone tell
me if the Lunar Rover was broadcast live in New Zealand?
And You'll be space nuts out there, because I think

(01:09:39):
that's what I was watching. So if you know about that,
that's important for me just to to have have some
of my looser ends from my childhood. So was that
live in New Zealand or was that broadcast? I can't
google it all tonight, so you will have some clarity
for me on that, because there was two things we

(01:10:00):
get up in the middle of the night. For one
would be the FA Cup, one would be the World Cup,
and one would be Luna walks or the Rover. So
if anyone anyone recalls that, that's very important to me.

Speaker 9 (01:10:09):
I need to know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Actually, so I start before I start questioning my own memory,
so that's what we're on about. So yeah, if you
are like a space, if you're someone slightly o then
men has better memory of those times. Let me know
how many broadcasts there work, because I think it wasn't

(01:10:31):
just the Polo eleven, it was the subsequent missions as well.
So yeah, that's what I'm begging you for that one.
I'll do a bit of a quick google. We're also
talking about your secret YouTube Facebook video obsession, so that's
the two things. And storage units.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Now, ah so this is quite interesting because I think,
and this is important that I can't believe that you're
not joining me on this as I discussed this with myself,
because what I think happened is the Walkworth Earth Station
or the Walkworth what we used to call that the
Walkworth satellite station was open, so I think the sum

(01:11:13):
of the subsequent ones were probably live, and I think
that would be my memory of the middle of the
night would have been the lunar what would have been
That would have been a poll of fifteen sixteen seventy
am I right with that one. So if you know
anything about this, I'd love to hear from you. The
way we watched it when we watched it. That's the
question for tonight. And we are talking about secret videos
videos obsessions, not but not secret of video obsessions, but

(01:11:36):
the things you find yourself watching on YouTube for your
guilty pleasures. Not really guilty, but I mean at least
you get into one of those things. There's no commercials,
and you've got twenty minutes speak and watch someone opening
a storage unit, or someone riding roller coasters, or someone
magnet fishing, or someone sneaking into festivals, any of that stuff.

(01:11:56):
That's what I'm about tonight. So yes, and the World Cup,
I say it's been replayed now on the TV. I
didn't watch it this morning. I got up at nine
and watched the second watch the end of it, the
last thirty five minutes. Who I think it started well,
the tournament, but the end was a bit of an
anti climax, wasn't it ready with a match and with
Argentina being so badly behaved at the end. I didn't

(01:12:18):
see Justin Bieber, but yes, Spain incredibly with a possession,
just passing it around. Anything I should want to talk
about tonight, good, that's the plan. Keep those emails coming through.
Marcus nineteen sixty nine Kaital into me first year of
the school being opened. We were heralded, heard into the
hall to s of those awful brown benches listen to

(01:12:39):
an intelligible broadcast of the moon landing. Must be unintelligible.
It was the afternoon. I have no idea if it
was live or not. It was momentous. I guess some
of the old staff were wiping their eyes with hankees.
I looked at the moon that night, but didn't see
anyone waving. Marcus PEPs I could shed some light on
the first moonlanding broadcast. I was a young child living

(01:13:00):
in Canberra at the time, and on the day the
Apollo Leven landing, I recall, we're all sent home from
school and we watched it live on TV in the afternoon.
Australia had satellite capability. My father's on the news in
Air Force and based in Canberra with his Defense Force
liaison team, and he had travel up to sitting in
the day before to do the handover of a realer

(01:13:20):
film given to him of the lunar landing, of which
was handed to a New Zealand Air Force Canberra bomber
pilot who flew out to New Zealand so it could
be broadcast that night to New Zealand viewers. You know,
I think we watched it at night. I think it
was in the early afternoon. I think it was like
three o'clock. But someone will know. We need some of
those old timers to come through and save the day.
Loving my coffee by the way, and loving to talk

(01:13:44):
to you tonight, and then we go on.

Speaker 8 (01:13:46):
We go, and we go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Marcus. My memory was listening to a very small transistor
radio belonging to Lorna Klausen, then my bookkeeping and typing
teacher to the moon landing when I was fifteen in
class at Papacuta High School. The big test will be
if Ryan Fox is on the back page of the
South and Time Homes tomorrow, it'll be Harvey Norman, won't it.

(01:14:09):
Do they still deliver it the South in Times?

Speaker 10 (01:14:13):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Do you see it a real life copy of the
Southern Crimes these days? Graham? This is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (01:14:22):
Yeah, Journeys from South and then your part of eleven questions.
They actually landed New Zealand time about a quarter past
eight in the morning. The radio transmissions were broadcast live

(01:14:45):
throughout the day I was of the table boys high
at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Neil walked on the Moon.

Speaker 10 (01:14:51):
At about two minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon,
a Canberra bomber ARAGF Canberra bomber flew at near records
speeder on a subsonic bomber plane across the Tasman landed it.
Sydney picked up a copy.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Of the.

Speaker 10 (01:15:11):
News reel and for it straight back and it was
on the six o'clock or seven o'clock news. Yeah, okay,
now you want to know about the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Can I Graham? Can I suggest that you're wrong?

Speaker 5 (01:15:25):
I'm not wrong.

Speaker 10 (01:15:26):
I remember it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
Yeah, but your memory might be faulty because people certainly
remember watching it in the early afternoon.

Speaker 10 (01:15:33):
No, that didn't arrive. It was actually a footage. It
was copied from the Parks Radio telescope and the copy
was made in Australia and the Kamber bomber flew over
picked up the footage and it was on the TV.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
Okay that night. My apologies. The lunar walk was two
fifty six. It was broadcast on TV at seven thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Were there other broadcasts in the middle of the night.

Speaker 10 (01:16:09):
I think later on in the Apollo missions Pollow fifteen
and sixteen and seventeen from my recollection had the lunar rover,
and that may have things for a bit of it.
But I do understand that technology was right at the
ragged edge in nineteen sixty nine and it was would

(01:16:29):
like to get the images that we did.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
So because of the satellite station walk with. So the
Apollo fifteen sixteen, the lunar module would have been broadcast
in the middle of the night. Do you remember did
you get up for that?

Speaker 10 (01:16:43):
I'll go up for a lot of those things, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
So how many were they do you think?

Speaker 10 (01:16:48):
I don't know. I know that there were Pollo fifteen, sixteen,
and seventeen seventeen. It was the last because Pollow eighteen
and nineteen were canceled to say costs, but those things, actually,
you know, rovers were quite remarkable.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
To the Highlands.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
So fifteen sixteen seventeen would have been broadcast live.

Speaker 10 (01:17:12):
I believe so, or or slightly delayed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
But yeah, and I think it was.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Yeah, that makes sense to me. And this I was
four and got up at seven thirty to watch it
on the TV. But you may maybe that was the case.

Speaker 10 (01:17:27):
Well, it costs twenty five thousand million to get me
into the man that got the Apollo and Gemini missions
cost collectively, that was a lot of big bucks in
those days worth it. I was was with it, the
learn of rocks and samples that came back. I saw
some of those samples live, and I have met a

(01:17:48):
buzz a couple of times and he's told me a
few stories too. They the important thing is they gent there,
but they got back a life.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
That was a big thing for me.

Speaker 20 (01:17:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
And with someone pointing out too, because from the from
when the first right brothers first to when we went
to the moon, I mean, it was an incredibly rapid
time of progress, wasn't It was unbelievable the pace of it. Really.

Speaker 10 (01:18:15):
It was the building things that have never been invented,
and terials never been invented. And they built also better
three hundred and three hundred and sixty foot rocket you know,
it was about eight thousand, eight million horse pair or something.
You know, it was just unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
It would you know where I could get the details
of what broadcasts they were about that?

Speaker 9 (01:18:42):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
You wouldn't know that, would you.

Speaker 10 (01:18:44):
I'll be on Google somewhere, Okay, I'll.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Say I can find it grammed. Thank you so much
for coming through. Anyone says you're correct, I believe you
are too. Twenty past nineteen. Keep hanging on. They'll get
with you soon. Hello Ella, this is Marcus. Good living
and welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:18:57):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
I can clarify a few points and maybe then some
lines can be put through to them. I was seventy
I was nursing and that day we did brain surgery.
We started about eight o'clock in the morning and we
didn't finish until very late in the afternoon. The other
interesting thing that happened with me that day, and we

(01:19:21):
did hear the transmissions the radio, you know on the
old big old radio valve radio things. That's what the
radios were like back in at sixty nine. But the
other funny thing that not funny, but it was. But
all of a sudden, I'm there doing my bit. I'm

(01:19:45):
the surgeon is diagonally opposite me, going away from me,
and I'm i'm opposite in the opposite corner, and all
of a sudden my stomach went in the theater new
said get up and get yourself a dry biscuit and
be bit quick. The surgeons and back in these days,

(01:20:10):
we're wearing green garments and you know, so the hats
that you would just tie on the back of your
things and all of us and green garments and anyway,
So when it went Google, Google, Google, that's when the
surgeon and he had the biggest bushy eyes you had

(01:20:31):
ever seen, eyebrows that you ever seen, looked at me,
gave me a thing and gave and the look was
just enough to say that the titan nurse that was
also the superior one to me, she told me get
off and get yourself and Vicky, et cetera. It's funny.
So I know exactly what happened that date, and were.

Speaker 3 (01:20:55):
You given updates? Did someone pop their head in and
say they've succeeded?

Speaker 19 (01:20:59):
Sorry?

Speaker 14 (01:21:00):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
Were you given updates? Did someone tell you that the
lunar walk was successful or how did you know about it?

Speaker 6 (01:21:07):
I know, yes, well, because I don't think we finished
the surgery or somewhere after four okay, and I don't
know that they came in, but we had those big
old radio transistors there and I recall hearing the sum
bits of it, but that was much greater in the
day in regard to the bits and peace that it happened.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
For the brilliantly. Thank you so much, Ella Chris. It's Marcus.
Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:21:35):
Look, I remember distinctly watching the broadcast of the moon
landing in sixty nine intermediate school during the afternoon, and
I was just amazed that we're allowed television in the classroom.
It was a very rare event and it was in
the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:21:55):
So I was in the second form glenn Eden Intermediate
and the event that you may remember in the middle
of the night, the very first thing that was ever
broadcast by satellite in New Zealand was the FA Cup
Final and that was in the seventy two or seventy

(01:22:17):
three in the middle of the night, and that was
a unique event.

Speaker 11 (01:22:20):
I know what.

Speaker 17 (01:22:21):
My father got me up to watch it and I.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Certainly watched that.

Speaker 17 (01:22:27):
Yeah, that was the very first thing that was ever
the broadcast live by satellite in New Zealand.

Speaker 15 (01:22:35):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 17 (01:22:37):
I remember that, and I distinctly remember watching that broadcast
in the afternoon at intermediate school. And I wouldn't have
been an intermediate school in the evening.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
It wasn't a radio then at the school.

Speaker 17 (01:22:55):
No, it was the television. It was a black and
white TV in the classroom. The teacher brought her TV
in to show us.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
Okay, thank you, Chris in Gath, it's Marcus, welcome as good.

Speaker 21 (01:23:11):
I just a little quote I've not seen the text
that's slightly on in the text. The one of the
d astronauts took a photo of the learner Lander was
playing the Earth in the background, and they had this
quote that went with something along the lines of every
human dead or alive is in this photo apart from Yeah,

(01:23:38):
it was that sort of that blew my mind, isn't
it look looking looking back at Earth from out there?
And that's he came up with that quote. It's quite cool.
Imna believe that. May don't believe that landed.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Oh I'm not. Yeah, I'm not even to take those discussions.
I mean, yeah, it's not idiot hour. I mean yeah,
I mean I think people that just say that to
be they think they're free thinkers, but they're idiot. But
that's but that's fine. I mean, yeah, I'm not gonna.
I don't even want to get into a situation, you know,
did it happen or not, because that would be the
beginning of the end. If we started doing such a

(01:24:12):
ridicuous things by even giving them oxygen. But yeah, you
know that, just yeah, that's what that is, what it is,
and we all know which political party they'll be voting for.
So that's that. But thanks Garth. Twenty eight past ten.
I'll get to the texts Marcus, good evening. I still
the newspaper the moon landing on the front page. Buckingham

(01:24:35):
Palace must be less than a kilometer from ten Downing Street.
How long will burn them last? Someone said, you believe
in COVID? Is that with a question mark? Or something
killed all those people? Or is it just you believe
in COVID? Full stop, Marcus. It was at night on
our black and white TV open Fireplace, Roaring us. Ten
was my brother's twelfth birthday. The Arrans and f Canbra

(01:24:55):
pilot was Gavin Trethui, a reaccomplished pilot who may still
be flying at Woolbird's Ard. More there we go. I
watched the lunar landing at school too. It was definitely
in the afternoon. Well apparently it wasn't, so the plot thickens.
There will be articles about that fact. I'll try and

(01:25:17):
get an article as opposed to chet GPT because I
hate to sew disinformation misinformation. Yep, there is an article
about it and I'm just looking through. It's a TV
one article on Monday twenty one June nineteen six July
nine sixty nine, after the film of the moon landing

(01:25:38):
arrived and when it was taken to the New Zealand
Broadcasting Corporation in Town, were played on the news that
evening for the first time. You said, audiences could see
the same image at the same time via a temporary
microwave linkup. So not only was it not only was
it the lunar thing, but everyone was watching it at
the same time. And normally you take the film around
different Yeah, normally each different region had a different TV

(01:26:01):
like you'd see Coronation Street played at different stations right
around the country. There was no national broad so it
does appear to have been the evening, so it is
surprising people remember at the daytime past ten tony headlines please.

Speaker 20 (01:26:13):
Yeah, definitely in the afternoon makers, I was at school
school uniform, sitting there in the classroom listening to it
as I said that the film, the film of the
landing arrived by plane later. Yes, so the actual landing
happened when we were at school and the film arrived
later and they played it at night.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
But yes, but you're on the radio in your class,
not the TV.

Speaker 20 (01:26:34):
Yeah yeah, but the landing itself.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Yeah anyway, Yeah, you know that's right. But that other
guy swore he could see that he was watching the
TV in this in this school.

Speaker 20 (01:26:42):
Yeah no, no, I doubt they'd be a school rich
enough to have a TV in those days. When you
mentioned them wheeling it in a giant TV.

Speaker 3 (01:26:50):
How would you do the aerial too? Where would you
do that?

Speaker 20 (01:26:53):
Or some maybe some third form would have to hold
it outside the window and you know, try and get
a sick one.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
What I was always amazed. The thing that amazed me
most about technology at school was how much were those
damn light bulbs for the overhead projectors because you couldn't
move them fro about three days afterwards in case the
bulb went fragile. Yes, the bulbs were like I had
to cool down for days, had to cool down, isn't
it oh? To touch it?

Speaker 20 (01:27:16):
Exactly? Third degree burns if you went anywhere near it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
But this fastating about when it happened, by the way,
because because it wouln't happen. They would happen on the
twenty first of It would have happened that the twenty
first of July, not the twentieth because of because of
time differences. Good evening, Max, It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:27:38):
Oh I get a Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:27:41):
The moon landing look.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
I can recall watching that with.

Speaker 22 (01:27:45):
My father very very clearly and for certain reasons. But
I know that it was broadcast on TV at around
about half past eleven or midnight. And the reason I
say that is because I finished work in Wellington at
that past ten. I had to get the train back

(01:28:06):
to one year o Marta and it used to take
about an hour, so I got home by Halbust eleven.
My father was driving taxis night shift, and he came
in and we helped ourselves to a couple of bed
gross lamb sandwiches covered with mint sauce, as we did
till my mother found out the next morning it was okay,
and we were sitting there watching it and we had

(01:28:29):
it on and it came on black and white TV,
fairly grainy, and me and dad. My dad never used
to he didn't show much emotion ever, and when we
were watching it, and that's one of the reasons I
remember the whole thing clearly. I was fifteen, and I clearly.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Remember when.

Speaker 22 (01:28:53):
I was that Neil Armstrong came down the ladder and
he said, it's one small step for man, one giantly
for mankind. I remember my dad burst into tears. I
don't think i'd ever seen him cry before, and that
was That's that's why it really stands out my memory.
Soon you're watching this with dad, So it was definitely
about It used to take an hour to get from

(01:29:14):
Wellington to Wineyar Mater and I would not have got
home to about Hobus eleven, so it was definitely i'd
say us eleven to midnight that we were watching it,
and very the film was very grainy. And something else
that stands out in my memory too. And you know
all these conspiracy theorists that say it didn't happen. One

(01:29:36):
of the things that they always ran on about was
that the flag was flying in the wind.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
I don't want to get into.

Speaker 22 (01:29:42):
No no, but I just want to say this that
during that commentary, there was some sort of commentary and
they were stating that they realized that to make that
flag stand that like that, they weaved in a sort
of a wire mesh into the flag, and I clearly
remember them saying that NASA had specially prepared that flag

(01:30:05):
with a wire mesh sort of a format so that
it would fold out, as you know, and and look
like it was flying in the wind. I clearly remember
that part of it. And the other thing that I remember,
too was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
That they can, I can, I can I just come
back to you and just talk about that. Your timing
and why do you matter when you finished your job?
Every news report says it screened at half past seven.

Speaker 22 (01:30:32):
Well, we definitely watched it. And that's what I didn't
know about about seven.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
If you left work, if you left work early, maybe
you left work goodly to go What were you doing.

Speaker 22 (01:30:42):
I was a projectionist at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:30:44):
Yeah, I wonder if you left We're girly to go
home and watch the watch the lad of Walk.

Speaker 9 (01:30:51):
Oh No, we weren't.

Speaker 22 (01:30:53):
We weren't allowed to shut the movie down and.

Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Go because I can't. I can't reconcile it because you're
so adamant with your memory.

Speaker 22 (01:31:00):
No, I'm totally one hundred percent, and I haven't. You know,
my memory is as good as you know. I'm not
getting a bit old of my memories is as sharp
as a tack. And I and I remember that because
you know, because so I've.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
Just told you, I'm just I've just told you you're wrong,
but you're not.

Speaker 22 (01:31:17):
I'm telling you makeus I'm right and you're wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
But I've gone a look at I've gone a look
at three different broadcasts. That's three different articles that say
the footage was aired on the news at seven thirty pm.

Speaker 22 (01:31:30):
I tell you what, Look, this may have been the scenario.
They may have rerun it. Yeah, when I got home
night news.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Well, your dad wouldn't have waited up to see the
rema or maybe watched it more than once.

Speaker 22 (01:31:43):
Well, well I think he was working on the on
the taxis at the time, so you.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Know, we both That makes that makes sense, That makes
sense that.

Speaker 22 (01:31:52):
I definitely watched it at about habast eleven, twelve o'clock midnight,
somewhere around about there with my father, and I clearly
remember it. And yeah, and the other thing that I
always remember is every time they spoke to you know,
spoke to Houston or you know, there was this bed,
you know this beat, you know, beb. I clearly remember

(01:32:13):
this big bet, you know, whenever they they spoke, and
at the end of the conversation there'd be this beat,
you know, and it was at the start of the conversation,
you know. And I remember it being black and white,
and it was it was fairly grainy, but but you know,
you could see it. You can see what was going on.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Do you remember what movie? Do you remember what movie
you'd screened?

Speaker 22 (01:32:36):
I think we were I think we were still running
the sound of.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Music, sound of music, still music.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
Yeah, that just went on and on and.

Speaker 22 (01:32:44):
On for months. Yeah, I think that was what was
what was on. There was another one that followed called
There was one called The Sweet Ride, which was an
Australian film that came out that didn't do that well.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
And then after that we.

Speaker 22 (01:33:00):
Had Doctor Shibago that was that was great and seventy
Milimeter of Boy that was a that was a.

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Great Ever seen that Doctor Javago.

Speaker 22 (01:33:08):
Oh, it was a great show, very spectacular scenery and
David Lean was a director, because very well known director.
But with a six strack stereophonic sound and the big
screen and that it was a It was a real
epic movie. It was a good movie worth watching. I
think they banned it in Russia. It was banned. Yeah,

(01:33:30):
it didn't go down well in Russia at the time. Yeah,
because it was about the revolution and all that sort
of thing, you know, But it was a love story basically. Yeah, good,
good movie. You have to look that one up.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
Oh well, thank you. Although I can't sit in the
wide format, thank you for that mix. Twenty two away
from eleven, Oh, moon Landing was on the radio on
the afternoon. We're in the middle of Lemming, so my
husband was out on the farm. I was able to
record it on the big old reel tape recorder to
play it back for him when he came in off
the farm. Oh, the old reel to reel Marcus. I'm

(01:34:06):
seventy eightyears old. I would listen to the Walking on
the Moon on a radio on the afternoon I was
sitting in the garden. I always wondered how Nixon could
talk to Neil Armstrong on the Moon on a landline,
when today, with all the technology, we still have calls
dropping out, even with all those thousands sad lights up there.
So it says, how to get the train to wan Uyamata.
Trains don't go that way. You probably got trained in
a bus or Shanks over the Hill twenty to eleven. Yeah,

(01:34:31):
I was fascinated by that about all the So that
was the first time they'd broadcast everything right around the
country at the same time, because previously everything was done differently.
Do you know what I'm saying. I mean, what I'm
saying is that that that was a big deal, because yeah,
I'm just trying to find that article I had before.
I can't find it. But everyone did a different thing

(01:34:53):
every every You have about five different transmit broadcast transmission
aerials around the country that would all have their own timetable.
It's a good story, that good But by nineteen seventy
two through the satellite was up at Walkworth and they'd
bring them across live. Things happened quickly. So Marcus, I'm
sure TV turned off with a good night KeyWe at

(01:35:16):
ten pm in the eighties, so when it turned off
in the sixties, the eighteen sixties. So I wonder about
that guy that saw it in the classroom, Marcus, I
was in the hall at Cashbura High School in christ Gych.
I'm sure were this sting not watching It must have
been a recording because this day in sixty nine. Was
a Sunday, was it?

Speaker 17 (01:35:33):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
But it was Monday. That was the twenty first of July.
It wasn't the twentieth of July. We watched it, So
the twenty first of July nineteen sixteen nine. I'm tee
what day?

Speaker 17 (01:35:41):
It was?

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Twenty one July nineteen sixty nine. Day of the week.
It's one thing that Ai'll be good for. Was a Monday.
I'll be home on a Monday. Yes, it was a
Monday that I'm watching the football.

Speaker 7 (01:35:55):
Boy.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
It's not a very exciting game, is it. MESSI just
walks around as it's good how he conserves all his energy.
But yeah, not a great spectacle. I don't know what
Argentina's game plan was. Good goalkeeper, he did that save.
But that goal of Spain's was tremendous. What a rocket
that was. Do you want to talk on? They're also
YouTube videos that you're obsessed or can't stop watching. Marcus.

(01:36:20):
My social media feed is filled with reels of Anatoley.
He's a small statue power for the pretend to be
Clineric Jim's the large steroid filled mentees him for his
eye voice of small stature. It's hilarious watching him outlift them.
I have seen those, haven't stopped watching. For me, it
all looks a bit but anyway, that's me. There were
six lunar landings, that's right, and some we got off

(01:36:42):
the middle of the night. I think to watch the
lunar rover module or just pr I guess, really, what
was the point of a module? Do now if you've
been trying to get through these lines now available. The
early part of the show is people been upset that
TV and Z lead with the football, not with the golf.

(01:37:03):
Make of that what you will. I'm all right about that.
And oh gosh, why is there you more married at
first sight news? Can we be free of that? Our
couple of broken up Flip and Stella have broken up.
I've got no idea who they are, but that's what
happens on those idiot shows. Now get in touch if
you want to be a part of the show. Let

(01:37:24):
me just get me a posture, right. I'm also interested
in people that have storage sheds to share their extra
stuff in. Is that not the world telling you you've
got too much stuff? I think it's just putting off
in decision. Our Jack O'Gill is out of the Commonwealth
Games injury final competition before the event that starts for

(01:37:48):
referee shortly and the world record holder in the mile
will be running for Scotland, I think. And it's all
about to change in the United Kingdom. Starmer says his
work is done as Andy Burnham prepares to take office
as UK Prime Minister. You take office today, succeeding that
departing Kiir Starmer and Britain's political tubes will give wait

(01:38:08):
it less temporary to smooth choreography. He will be the
seventh Prime minister since twenty sixteen. That's about to happen.
So they're off to see the King and then that's happened.
It's a big change over thirteen to eleven. If you
want to talk about the lunar landing or anything else
that's we're on about tonight, get in touch ten to eleven,
let's call it that. And there's something different you want

(01:38:30):
to talk about tonight, that would be great.

Speaker 22 (01:38:32):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
I watched the moon landing in the hall at Kashmere
High School. Well maybe you didn't. It seems I was
seven thirty before we could watch it. You probably listened
to it on the radio. Just tune the radio on.
Has anyone mentioned that the final of the fifth World
Cup was the most boring sports game I've ever seen.
One interesting thing I heard them say was Spain made
forty shots at gold in Argentina made none. What was

(01:38:57):
that about. I'm not a football person, so they might
have missed something. I thought it was twenty, but yeah,
though they hadn't any shots. My next prediction is e
On Musk will be the next man on the moon
without a helmet. You're gonna put a million people on Mars.
I don't think that's going to happen. I mean, Doge
didn't work out, did it? I don't know what happened
with the football. I don't know, I don't. I think
Spain was just for every good and very well organized,

(01:39:18):
but also the Argentine goalkeepers for every good, so the
goals didn't go in. What they caught was a clinic.
But get in touch? Did the ref speak Spanish? Ip asumi?

Speaker 7 (01:39:30):
Did?

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
I wait?

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
One hundred and eighty? Taddy with it till twelve o'clock tonight.
My first memory was of Dad moving the TV into
his bedroom to watch the moon. Thing was a big mission,
as of the weight and size of the TV. I've
thought for years it was sixty nine, but clearly not.
But it had to have been the first live Moon broadcast.
Dad was tech man of his day, Ham radio man.
It might have been one of the ones in nineteen

(01:39:53):
seventy three or seventy four, if everyone's got any more
information about that. When was the first, you know? Because
I certainly remember getting up in the middle of the
night to watch something and I think it was the
Lunar over. I think that's for the two or three
things we got up for in those days in the
middle of the night. Now I'll give you the score
for football, but to replay. But yeah, it's a It's
a pretty doura affair, wasn't it. Kiers Starmer insists he

(01:40:14):
wasn't a failure as PM and farewell speechful heading to
say the king is Andy Burn embraces to become britain
seventh Prime Minister in a decade. It's if we go
back and name them, we've got Andy Burnham, Kiir Starmer,
Rishi sunk Live Trust, don't tell me. I'll get this one.
The tall woman that danced in Africa? What's her initial?

(01:40:38):
And before that boris her name, and before that David Camra.
I think I've got them all right. Who was the
one between Dan? Tell me the one between camera and
and but oh, Theresa May. That's right, of course it
is Theresa May. Yep, there we go. Anyway, let's ever break.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
Gee.

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
What I am really curious about is the subsequent broadcast
after the Luna landing, those ones that we would have
got up from the middle of the night. How many
there were because these days it's quite hard to get
the information. So this is moonday. Of course it's to
morrow really, but it's this day with the time difference.
So yeah, nineteen sixty nine was the first of the
man missions to the moon. Why didn't they go back?

(01:41:16):
They did go back six five more times, and after
then there was a much more point cost, an absolute fortune,
four one thousand people. What is interesting is the average
age of the workers. They're very young. That's what I've
always been amazed by. It was twenty seven average age
the person on the Pollo project. Yeah, roughly twenty out.

(01:41:37):
I think it's twenty seven something. Spaceflight was a new discipline,
had to get a whole lot of people trained up,
and they got young people. We short did great things
for the American economy for a number of years, and
for their science and for their ability to Yeah, just
the creativeness and the inventiveness of the Americans. But there
you go, just coming up to the news people. If

(01:41:58):
you want to be on air, give me a call afterwards.
It's Moonday with good reason. When do we en for
next milestone of that? Oh, I suppose in three years time.
It will be sixty years seems like a long time ago.
