Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be greetings, welcome Marcus till midnight tonight. I hope things
are good where you are, and if they're not good,
to hope they get better the next three hours and
fifty three minutes. Oh, by the way, hearing, I just
got to apologize. Of course it's obvious now Lulu Soon.
Of course I pronounced her. Her name's Sun, but I've
never heard it pronounced before before, So that's my apologizes

(00:32):
to mispronouncing that Lulu Soon. She's playing tonight at midnight,
and TVNZ will be broadcasting that actually on a TV
one like old school. You want to go to TVNZ plus.
Not that there be anything on at midnight. It would
be commercials for Blue Blockers or something. Lulu Soon that
will be from midnight tonight. That's worth staying up for.

(00:54):
She's already in the final light. If you're in the
final light, you get to go to Wimbledon forever and
pop in to have lunch. It's like one of the
great things about tennis if you make the final eight.
So she is there, so if she chooses she can
spit the rest of her life, hob nobbing with the
tennis players, if that's your thing anyway, here till midnight tonight.
The other thing too, that springs from the news. I

(01:16):
never want to hear that expression policide. That just sounds terrible,
that maybe lucks and if he's lucky, might get a
pulicide cheapers. I don't like when things become I don't
quite know the grammatical terms, but when just expressions end
up getting kind of set in contract and concrete and

(01:40):
become permanent, kind of like a policide, that seems wrong
to me. Bearing in mind, we're coming up with the Olympics,
and yes I'm blaming you sports people, but they will
be talking about Kiwi's podiuming. Will they podium to me,
that's a word crime, or will they meddle? To me

(02:00):
that's almost a word crime as well, meddle and podium. Anyway, greetings,
welcome on him as Marcus here or midnight tonight. I
hope things are good where you are. I kind of
want to talk about the bikinis because I've thought about
it a bit that this is a new plymouth at
the Todd Energy Pool, and as this is the woman

(02:23):
and she's got a petition to have them. She wants
people not to be allowed to wear G string bikinis
at the public baths. We said as the car Aroa Bards,
but now, of course it's the Toddy Energy Barths. I
think they're slightly different, but all sorts of questions jump
and spring to mind. To me, the first question, and

(02:44):
I haven't googled this, but what does the G stand for?
I've never thought about the term G string? Do you
want to know off their hand what the G stands for?
Because if I was on the chase, they said was
the G stand for? Injeestrick. I don't think I know
the answer. You might, I certainly don't, But anyway, that's

(03:07):
the first point that springs to mind. The second point
that spring to mind is Flip. Although I was surprised
to see a pole, online came up with like forty
eight percent of people thought they should be banned. Well,
I've quite a lot of thoughts about this, and my
thoughts are, firstly, what about the beach. I wasn't bonding.

(03:29):
Not so long ago everyone was wearing those G strings.
Didn't seem to be a problem. No one's trying to
ban them from the beach. So there's that. Why would
be different from a pool on the beach, So there's that.
The second thing I kind of think with the G
string is before long. I mean, if there's one item
of clothing the whims of fashion, it's women's tugs. And

(03:53):
this is well out of my area here, but you know,
what is in one year will be gone within six months.
Mean gosh, next year it might be the full one piece.
So I reckon if she can actually spend the whole
time getting a petition going and getting the things banned.
By the time the petition gets enacted, it will all
turned over that we're wearing something different. And see, you've

(04:15):
got to think of the reputational damage you will due
to her kids. That her mother's trying to ban the
G string just seems so daft. And the fourth point
is there a fourth point? They got about four point
with this. Okay, going to think what the fourth point is.
But anyway, if you've got anything to say about that,

(04:36):
I wouldn't mind hearing from you. But what a daft
thing to do, What a daft, daft thing to do.
By the time the petition is successful, people wearing something different,
but your kid to be traumatized if your mother's organizing
a petition to ban a knightem of clothes. Well, the
other thing I was thinking of, I mean, if this
is what's happening in you Plymouth in twenty twenty four

(04:56):
with the G string bikini, right, you wonder what it
was like in nineteen forty six when the bikini was unveiled.
Well I imagine it caused a ferrari. But now looking
at what was talked back like a nineteen forty six
with people wanting to ban the bikini, because that must

(05:17):
have been a real eye opener. So yeah, there we go.
This is it. So this is what the story is.
And there's been some debate throughout the day, not a
huge one for me. This is a and let's sort
of avoid the double entendre and let's say if we
can sure enough to talk about this in a kind
of a grown up way. But wow, I just think
it was the most extraordinary headline in twenty twenty four

(05:39):
in winter that summer, be starting a petition to ban
an item of clothing from the swimming baths. Anyway, I'm
sure you have something to say about that. Yeah, anyway,
And a lot of people are very people are quite funny.

(06:06):
It what the G stands for in G, so honestly
you know what it stands for. Someone says the G
string stands for gangster. Someone said it stands for G.
That's revealing. I don't think it stands what you think
it stands for, by the way, I think it'd be
surprised to know what because I've got no idea right
what it does stand for. But puts you Plymouth on

(06:27):
a bad light, because in Sydney they're all over it.
I love it anyway, Oh, eight hundred eighty eight nine text,
Oh anyway, get in touch your door a talk Marcus
till midnight, Craig, good evening.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
How's it going this evening?

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Good?

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Thank you Craig yourself.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
I've had partners that bought togs and dogs and pie
over the years, and always seems to be the less
you buy in togs and more costs. And maybe G
stands or G is in it?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, I mentionined probably the smaller it as this more
kind of a smaller but doing more work. There's probably
like more sewing required. I don't know what I'm saying,
actually probably.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Yeah, neither and then as far as you're saying about
the policide. Thing I think and things that I get
annoyed was as people who are on the radio say
enjoy a really good.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Comp a really good one competition.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
You get sports people saying, oh, we enjoyed our comp
and it's like you've been competition, And you get radio
stations going I'll ring up now for some merch and
you mean merchandising. It's like they shorten everything nowadays, and
it's like, what is wrong with words?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
And it all sounds a bit clubby to what I don't
like as people in a particular trade, they're always wanting
to come up with sort of special little language to
set them apart from everyone. Oh merch what about the
merch or Yeah, I don't like that either, because it's
that makes me feel quite alienated.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yeah, it's just like, you know, of cour's wrong with
good old language, I.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Mean merchandise When your merchandise are a competition.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, it's like, well, when they go we enjoyed the
comp it's like, are you meaning competition or competitors or.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
What compensation you're enjoying the compensation?

Speaker 7 (08:15):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, mind you?

Speaker 6 (08:17):
I had funny three years ago we worked for a.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Like a funny ty.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yeah, we worked in a telecommunition telecommunications company years ago,
and we're in meetings all the time, and one of
the guys had to give up and do a speech,
so he made up a word like a anagram that
doesn't actually mean anything for whatsoever, and no one knew
what it meant, but they're or not in And then
we found quite funny a few weeks later on that
one of the sales guys was using the same word in.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
His speech somewhere else. Wow, it's like, but.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
That doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
That was the word.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
I can't remember what it is now. It was just
some stupid work like Kyle Bosh or something or other.
And we started using and there were talks, and then
everyone else in the company started adopting it, but knowing
that she knows what the means, and you think, man,
it makes us feel like a bunch of turkey's just
following each other out.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Let's still great. By the way, by the text, no
one knows what g string stands for, because is about
fifty percent saying one thing and fifty percent spring it's
the other thing. I don't think people know. I haven't
googled it, by the way, but is anyone have a
problem with it at the baths?

Speaker 9 (09:21):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I just kind of think it's a really surprise and
she seems good, honest, she seems like a well meaning
and I don't sound patronizing, and I probably do, but
you know, that's her thing. She wants to have a petition,
but partly with Facebook and stuff. Now, petitions are too
easy to organize. Anyone can do it. They say, oh, look,
join me sign this. Then everyone's you know, sharing it.

(09:42):
We've got to get involved with this. I don't even
know how many people would be swimming in a G
string because my understanding with the with the eu Plymouth
bath is the outdoor one where you go in the summer,
you'd lounge around over the rocks the rocky beach. You'd
wear G string there if you're doing laps and the
kind of todd energy pull. Don't get me started. You'd

(10:04):
be up and back just in what you'd want to
wear for speed. You wouldn't really be wearing a G
string there, would you, because you're just in the you
know nonsense, You're not. Once again, I've got no idea
what I'm talking about. With these things. It's dodgy territory. Bill,
it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
Yeah, Marcus Bill here, how are you good?

Speaker 11 (10:23):
Bill?

Speaker 10 (10:24):
Yeah, I'm pretty confident G string has to do with
the the G string on a violin. It's just a
narrow string.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Is the G string the narrowest of the strings on
the violin?

Speaker 10 (10:39):
No, it's just it's just one of the strings on
a violin air on a G string. Yes, it's one
of the strings on a violin.

Speaker 12 (10:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
That makes sense because someone also suggests to which is
that the shape of a garment is like the letter G.
But I don't know if they're talking about a capital
G or a lower case G.

Speaker 10 (10:59):
No, I'm pretty confident. I'm pretty confident it is to
do with the G string. But what it is it
is a.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, okay, we'll find out more. You got a problem
with the people swimming in it or been at the
baths with it?

Speaker 13 (11:14):
Me?

Speaker 10 (11:15):
No, not at all. So I think the human body
is natural, isn't it? So why not?

Speaker 14 (11:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't think children are particularly. I don't think children
would notice. I was the Barths two days ago with
the kids of the people. They're in G strings and
they didn't say, oh gosh, look at that.

Speaker 15 (11:31):
I don't ever.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think probably the kids, you know at pools are
sort of into their own thing. I mean, we spent
a couple of hours at the hot poles. I don't
they mentioned about anyone's a tie, a clothing anything. I'm
just saying what they did comment on how long people
stay in the plunge pool. Don't they mention anything about
what people were wearing?

Speaker 8 (11:51):
And not sure?

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I mean it's of no interest to them. I don't think.
I think that comes from the parents. If the parents think,
oh my god, that's disgusting, put on some pants, then
probably the children pick that up. I would think, I
know the children, they are outraged or disgusted. I hope not.

Speaker 9 (12:11):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty eight twenty nine nine
two de text the G String. It's all the talk
and new PIPA. By the way, there's a two topic
nights tonight. Because I wanted to at the G String.
I also want to talk about this extraordinary reptile show
in Dunedin. Now the calling this the Willy Wonk or
of the reptile shows, because I reckon it was just
an absolute disaster. They reckon. The ex adels were dead

(12:37):
now the woman that organized it and I had no
public I could have gone to it. I was ind
needing that weekend, but they reckon absolute disaster. It was
like the Willy Wonka thing in Scotland. It was so bad.
So if you did go to that, what was it like?

(13:01):
It was called the Exotic Pet Expo And by the way,
I don't know that we actually had many exotic pets.
But the barbecue, the gas are not in the barbecue,
which people are upset about.

Speaker 16 (13:17):
It.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
It was Dunedin's Reptile and Aquatic Expo. Yeah, and some
woman had signed up for the two day event to
sell her crochet animals, but she decided not to go.
I'd love her crocheted animals. I made the mistake of
googling G string a temu to see and they're cheap.

(13:38):
But they've all been labeled as thongs. None of them
are called G string, so it might be a New
Zealand expression, although on timi website it says a G
string stands for a gym string, as in gym not
Jim the Mother's called a band. G string bikini has

(14:00):
been parade at u Plum's popular public pool has divided
opinion across the city shares three sons. How did the
partition out of curiosity to see whether she was a
prude or with other parents also uncomfortable having their children
been exposed to skimpy swimwear. Her campaign started for right
old son was exposed to some gestring, whereas when he

(14:20):
was at a swimming lesson it was pornographics. She claimed,
I don't want to be a number of predictive moments.
Is that the space run with society now? If so,
I'll find my way to prepare my kids for that.
But do we have to do that? Dixon's stance found
faith with some patrons outside the aquatic Center on Monday.

(14:44):
So they also didn't want their children exposed to young
women dressed in g strings, young women public place and
women should be free to wear what they want. Yep,
maybe this has been important from America because it does
go on to say the issue was caused debate across
the United States, popular bands and parts of Australia, and

(15:07):
recently sparted controversy in Topour over whether the g string
should be want thermal spars. It was a frustration after
spending a summer at rivers, beaches and the pools have
always seen girls and G string bikinis, explained, of course,
so she want to get them banned at rivers and beaches.

(15:29):
That's the weird thing that she mentioned that anyway, Blah
blah blah, and then there's a pole on whether they
should be banned. She's got a hundred signatures. There was
nothing included the Aquatic Center's dress code that stipped at

(15:50):
a minimum level of coverage for bays. Well, how would
you even police it? Goodness, anyway, G string bikinis have
become more prevalent with the arrival of European terosts post COVID.
We should be happy for the tourists turning up post COVID.
That's a good thing.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't think I've ever seen a G string at
Splash Palace in Invert Cargo, and I think I'm unlikely
to say that I did see one there anyway. Eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine two. To text,
i'd say, stay out, what's not your business anyway, Get
in touch. My name is Marcus hitdle to have some

(16:37):
very good texts and I'll get to some of those
very good texts. Just can't get to them all. Anyway,

(16:57):
I'll try and read some of them, Marcus. I think
the term g string comes from g that looks good, Marcus.
Not sure the origin, but if they bann them, I'm
giving up the pool on this top it could be
slippery slope, my dreaders that Calvin from the Tron calls
and with a response, very good, Marcus. I think gesturing

(17:19):
bikinis are morepho frolic in the waterless for swimming. You
see so many shapes and sizes at Hannah wearing all
sorts of garments on all genders. No one seems too
much bothered. No, I don't think they'd be bothered. Someone's
opposed to people wearing those things at the pools, but
they never wear them around the house, which is weird. Anyway,

(17:46):
Get in touch, Marcus. The most annoying this is interesting.
The most annoying use. The most annoying word use is
rural real estate agents saying farm has good shedding like
shedding is some sort of weird verb, and good buying
like the purchu is the best thing rather than life
one's bought good shing. Wow, what about in those real

(18:11):
estate shows like Selling Sunset. What do they call them?
But they don't call it the Master better and they
call it the they call it the Primary. That was
weird too, I forgot one. They call it now anyway,
get in touch you want to talk. My name is Marcus.
Welcome head on midnight eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine two six lines are free. We're talking
about the Reptile Expo in Dunedin and we're talking about

(18:35):
the banning of certain garments that want to do it
at the pools and New Plymouth. Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine two to text, get
in touch. Someone said, would it be a preparate from

(18:55):
man to wear a G string? I bet there would
been outcry double standards as usual. Well, I think double
stands there has been out because no one's worn one.
So you pick your battles, then you plymouth baths and garments,
because when you start polacing garments, where do you stop?
And what about the beach and what about the rivers?
And then where do you stop? Can they start banning

(19:20):
g strings? Then they start banning bikinis and then next
thing you know, they'd be banning all sorts of stuff,
because everyone can always be offended by something if you're
kind of strong about that, but also can't work out
why what the person was even thinking. But yeah, maybe
it's one of those culture war things that's come across

(19:41):
from America. If that's what's happened. When these days, people
get on American websites think, oh god, they say there's
been a fuss kicked up in some southern state, that
they'll do the same thing here. But I guess, you know,
you can't work out what's going to be successful or not.
You try and organize these events. Sometimes things get carried
away and you're not quit sure how many people are
going to turn up. I don't know if they would

(20:03):
have made much money from it. It seems like it
could have been quite a beginner. I paid twenty bucks
to get it, and I think, oh, by the way,
there have been some power cuts. I was ready out
in Brown's Bay. You got power cuts to you? I
do let us know? It was a two day event,

(20:28):
someone said. Arriving this epistol on Saturday morning, she was
alarmed to see how sparse x BO was, which included
x lottles and tadpoles still in bags on the table.
The tadpoles were later moved to sploor plastic contains. What
X lottles were put in dirty tanks. Several large turtles

(20:50):
were housed in open black plastic containers, and she watched
as people pick them up, with one child be bitten
by one. The xpoe included leopard geckos, water dragons, bearded dragons,
blue tongued stinks, rabbits, and cats. You wouldn't think a
cat would be a reptile with tray, noting the the
cat and her kittens and the lizards didn't have any supervision,

(21:10):
or only the cat, the kittens the lizard had any supervision,
She said. Many of the things promised that the expo
were not there. While a barbecue last only thirty minutes
until the gas bottle ran out and no one went
to refillt Oh, gosh, we've all experienced that, the barbecue
with empty gas bottle. That's hardly a crime. Everyone's done that.

(21:31):
On Monday, organizer Amelia Seals told Stuff that not one
of the five thy tendies complained about the event or
asked for their money back. It's all online, it's all manufactured,
so it seems to be a big market for these
reptile events. These need to be better run. Wow, the

(21:54):
exposed page just had various animals been on displaying clinic
X sootles, tortoises, turtles, leopard giggos, bearded dragons, water dragons,
munchkin cats, and blue tongue skinks. Now anyone got X lotts?
Who got a munchkin cat? I'd like to talk about
that as well. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty and
nineteen ninety de text gesturings at the pools. Your opinion

(22:16):
on that, Yeah, I mean, obviously people should be able
to wear what they want, but it's not all about
her protecting her children or doing well. They're cute. The
munchkin cats extremely short legs and a long spine. I'll
probably tear it. Someone's gonna bring up and tell me

(22:37):
how they're gonna have lifelong health problems, aren't they?

Speaker 17 (22:41):
Evening, Steve Hey, good evening. Look on the pool attire business.
I think you read out of previous text. I think, yes,
this lady does need to get out into the world.
It's everywhere. I have three daughters myself that are all
in that sort of teenage years a little bit older,
and all of them and all of their friends were
very I'll call it skimpy bikinis because they are gee

(23:03):
string bikinis or small bikinis. And I think, you know,
it's come a long way in terms of empowering people
to wear what they feel comfortable in and being comfortable
of who they are. It's not a sexual thing. I
think the people that are saying it's a sexual thing
is sextualizing it as opposed to the young females nowadays
is having a huge amount of sort of body confidence
and things, and that stuff we've been promoting is a

(23:25):
positive thing over society as we grow towards being more
inclusive and tolerant of everyone and their views and ways
of doing things.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
So kind of shame in some ways, it's become a
story too, because these people might now feel I think
twice about it now too, mightn't they because they feel
that people are judging them, you know, I hope not.

Speaker 17 (23:46):
I hope, I hope. And I don't think this generation
do take much knowledge or opinion of other people on themselves.
I think they have a high level of body confidence,
regardless of their shapeful size and they just rocket.

Speaker 10 (24:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'm surprised too because the woman, I mean, she appeared
to be a She appeared to be sort of a
youngish woman with a young family. That's why I couldn't
quite work at what her attitude was. Whether there was
some other agenda that she wants to try and get into,
some sort of push, some sort of morality barrow or something.

Speaker 17 (24:22):
Look, I hope her boys don't come walking along any
beaches in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, okay, and I'm not around the beach in Auckland,
but I've been Australia recently. It seemed to be the
garment of choice for most people and they seem to
be able to handle that all right in Australia, I thought.

Speaker 17 (24:38):
Exactly, and Brazila as well. You just you know, you
walk there and that's what it is. It does remind
me back to the sixties and seventies. It just becomes
maybe cyclical and what is fashionable and what is not. So, yes,
I no issues from me.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm sure once they've bene it before and no one
but before long the thing will go out in its
own phase anyway, and people wearing something quite different. But yeah, boy,
people must have to freaked out in ninety forty six
when the bikini came out jeep. As you can imagine
the talk back, Oh Lady today, Anthony Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (25:12):
Yeah, aay Marcus.

Speaker 8 (25:13):
Just a.

Speaker 18 (25:15):
Couple points about the discussion about the revealing swimsuits. Yes,
and so the caller two callers good. I didn't catch
his name, but he seems like the guy's I think
he started talking about a sec and maybe a bit
of a trojan horse situation there, but I thought it

(25:35):
was I don't know, maybe he didn't realize this, but
it seems a bit this ingenuous that when you took
I believe you mentioned, you know, young ladies wearing key strings,
and he said, well, no, no, it's it should be
banned for all people. How do you know it's not
men wearing them?

Speaker 17 (25:50):
But if they were to band.

Speaker 18 (25:56):
Being topless in a you know, being topless in a
public swimming pool, that's obviously to do with females being topless,
because most guys off was in there anyway, So I'm
not I don't really know where he was trying to
go with that point. Make it some equality thing.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, look yeah, look, and and I guess a lot
of these arguments. You can kind of you can extrapolate
and say what about this and what about that, but
it kind of dilutes the whole argument. It's about people
how to wear what they want, what they feel comfortable,
what they feel fashionable in, what they bought, what they bought.
They can buy those things they want to wear them,
good on them. Who is to tell people they that
they can't do that it's illegally, it's a it's an

(26:37):
item that's sold legally. It's not indecent. People can do
what they want with them.

Speaker 18 (26:42):
Yeah, And in terms of the point about you know, say,
for example, bars having a just god that you have
to you know, be wearing a collar shirt or whatever
it is.

Speaker 19 (26:51):
Those are private.

Speaker 18 (26:54):
Those are private places, and as such they can enforce
their own, you know, codes of what they think it
sets all. But if it's a you know, a rate
payer or a taxpayer fundashure like I I assume these
new promise parts are, then I don't think it's up
for local government to be enforcing what they say is

(27:16):
moralistic or whatever spin you want, you know, whatever angle
you want to describe that. As as to what people wear, not.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Here from Anthony, Thank you, Oh, wait turned eighty twenty
five way from nine Terry, it's Marcus.

Speaker 15 (27:27):
Good evening, Hi, Marcus Terry.

Speaker 20 (27:33):
Yeah, I've just got little concerns about the opinion of
this particular water in relation to how does she feel
about men wearing budget smiglers?

Speaker 15 (27:48):
Is that I you know, she seems quite concerned about
her children looking at gebils, what about females looking at
males and budget sms.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, it's a good point. It's a terrible express, isn't it,
Because I know there's a there's a shop of there's
actually a shop in Australia now it's called the chain
of shops is called Budgy Smugglers, which is kind of extraordinary.
I don't think anyone's talking about Bennings budge Smugglers, are they,

(28:21):
Which shows is inherent sexism and that as well.

Speaker 15 (28:25):
Yeah, well, the thing is that it comes down to
personal preferences. I myself would never wear a pair of
Budgies Smugglers. But you know, the people wear their own
clothing and the rain swimwere to how they feel comfortable
with They're comfortable and the majority of people that comfortable

(28:46):
with it, So it becomes very sort of a person
l to see sort of thing where a person takes
objection to it and feel that everybody else should follow
suit and her opinion. But I would say the majority

(29:07):
would over Well, listen to the conversation to night. The
majority of over just said it's stupid.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I kind of feel safe. It must must have been
a really bad day at the pool. She'd got there,
she'd got stressed out, having a bad day, and you've
got to be in the bonnet about something and thought, well,
I'm going to kick on this isn't right. But I
kind of feel she didn't think first to have a
chat with some people or seek good guidance on this one,
because it's a crazy thing we've embark on.

Speaker 10 (29:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (29:34):
True, it's again it comes down to personalities and personal feelings.
But personal feelings, if you drag somebody else into it,
those people listen and may be persuaded to say, oh yeah, yeah, okay,
I'll follow that line. But the other you know, the

(29:54):
how do you say the opinions and the thoughts of
people today? Has shrug your shoulders and say.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
So what nice to hear from it? Good text to
finish now, Anthony, I've also wanted to say that It's
also a little weird that basically all the callers on
this topic have been males discussing what to prepate for
women to wear or not wear. I realize I'm a
contribute to this, A contributed to this. I guess in
that woman's credit. I guess she was a female that
came up with a petition. I guess that's the one tick.

(30:24):
It wasn't a male that had got kind of triggered. Anyway,
the surprising thing for me about the g string petition
is that it's in the middle of winter, because I
would think of the bars in your plymouth, that there's
the a prisim poole out swimming at the outdoor polls.
Are they well? I mean, I guess that's true. Weird
go in sunbathe and you'd well, who knows there might

(30:47):
be something from your plimoth can tell me about that
eight hundred and eighty tenenty nine text looking forward to
your calls, John Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Hey Marcus, Christine Bob Okay, Look, I'm just so my
understanding is that this this lady who concerned, this is
in maybe disguised, but who concerned is that she thinks
that a female walking around in the G string in
the public pool is having a negative impact on her child?

(31:17):
And what are the age of the kids? So I'm
thinking the discussion should be centered on do we you know,
do we think that in the public area a female
walking around in a G string? Does that have an
impact and negative impact on miners? And I think I mean,
listening throughout the day, everyone's thought about, well, the freedom

(31:38):
of wearing what she wants and et cetera. But you know,
on her on her sort of you know, feeling that
you know, in general, she doesn't like that, but I'm
sure her her issue is that seeing that and having
that and that having a impact in her child's issue.
So we should be thinking, so is that okay? And

(32:00):
and that should be the custom point, not that the
general feeling about walking around with testing.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I mean, look, I would imagine the only impact anyone's
attire would have on that children would be to do
with the comments the mother made around that and the
attitude she projected on them, because that's where that stuff
comes from. It comes from parents. If they're going to
sort of make strange comments about clothing or start judging
about what people would wear, which some parents do that's

(32:30):
where the damage has done if you're shaming people for
what they're wearing. So look, and I'm sure she's had
time to think about that, and I just wonder if
she's probably reconsidering what she's come out with. She also
says that she doesn't think people should that she's worried
about people at the beach and at rivers, but it
seems as though the people running the baths the pools

(32:51):
have been very sensible and this modern age very difficult
job to run public bars. I know in my time
at council there's always people making submissions about all manner
of things. People seem to go mad at pools, mad
at hold emmerts. Marcus welcome, good evening, Hello, Hi Emirates,

(33:11):
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (33:13):
Oh hi mac If I'm a first time cooler, but
I had cool this time.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Nice to hear from me, Thank you.

Speaker 21 (33:18):
I've actually been a swimwear designer for probably twenty five
years and these kind of things pop up quite often.
I think so in one of the stars that I've
been doing and really well known for is more of
a song style swimsuit.

Speaker 13 (33:35):
And.

Speaker 21 (33:37):
I really can't imagine that at your pools. I'm also
a mum and there it won't just it's probably just
the young girls and that like it's untrend and if
they go and buy a swimsuit these days, most of
them are quite song that's one of the only stars
that they can get, so kind of being there heard

(33:57):
this and also like this was a few years back
when we were doing a show at Fashion Week, there
was a big thing about the burger bikini. I don't
know if you remember that.

Speaker 22 (34:10):
The BERKINI yeah, people would say to me, oh, you
know you're going to do this, this bukini and you're
going to make this and I'm like, no, it's just
the you know, trends and things that people want.

Speaker 21 (34:22):
And I see then, and I say, now, people should
be free to wear what they want. Songs that's not
totally offensive. But I really think this woman's probably overdramatized.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I think she's kind of missed the point.

Speaker 21 (34:39):
I think maybe she's feeling a bit insecure about herself.
And like my boys have seen many a model and
things like that, or a beer, but it's not like
a it's not that big a deal. You see far
worse on TV in a video game.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, And look, I mean It's probably going to be
a naive question for me, and I feel lame even
asking it. But would the trend towards that song is
is that to do with?

Speaker 14 (35:12):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I don't know what the question is. It is just
the trend. It's not because of swimming. It's not because
of tanning people want to get more brown coverage. It's
just the way it is, right, Is that what it's about?

Speaker 21 (35:22):
I think it is what it is like. It is
a trend. So we started doing these more of that
thong style probably about three years ago, and it's a
follow from overseas because America and Italy and that it's
it's huge that that's the look of it, and it's

(35:43):
definitely hugely influenced by social media and also the nineties
where you know, if people had the low rise gene
and then they might have that little thong stretch showing
five of you know. So it's just a trend. And
I just can't imagine that You've got a whole lot

(36:05):
of older women at the pools and thongs.

Speaker 8 (36:08):
Yeah, but it's not really realistic.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
But they also are practical and totally useful for swimming,
and they work quite well. Do they well?

Speaker 21 (36:17):
Not really.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Good answer.

Speaker 21 (36:21):
Okay, photos, you know, people, but they're not.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
They're not They're not disastrous to swimming, are they?

Speaker 21 (36:31):
No?

Speaker 14 (36:31):
You know.

Speaker 21 (36:32):
I mean I've got many a story of people message
me custom made things and seending me photos and stuff
like that over at e commerce side. And I think
like for our more thong styles and micro bikini it
was the people who bought them who were young. It
was often for their own spa or for like a

(36:54):
holiday overseas, a bit of a spicy holiday where like
the young girls would just want to tan in them
or just take some photos to give it. Okay, So
I mean, at least it is one of your last
calls I think said about how we all used to
wear board shorts and T shirts and that New Yelling

(37:14):
used to be very very behind in our kind of
body culture. So yeah, whether it's it's uncomfortable for some people,
but it is nice, I think, especially for the younger girls.
And in the other thing I make is speedos for guys, yeah, well,
which is super popular too.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
And also to you got to look our body aware
of become with gyms and people doing that and social
media and all that sort of stuff. I mean, people
are right in to you know, whether it's got or bad.
People are writing to appearances. That's become kind of a
big deal for most people now, hasn't it.

Speaker 21 (37:48):
Yeah, I think so, And I think like sometimes it's
a lot around that isn't necessarily even what body size
you are. It's more about hey, look I can wear
this out for and I feel good yep, And that's
what people want to post about. And you know, I
don't think that kids here, like I can understand that, Like,

(38:10):
no kid's going to be like, oh look there's some
bottom or they're too busy plane.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, good, okay, and just just your talk. Micro Bikinis
with a G string is the other part of that.
That's part of the micro bikini as well. So the whole,
the whole ensemble has become briefer, is.

Speaker 21 (38:28):
That right, Yeah, it has become briefer, like the top
the briefer in the bottom of the briefer. But you
can get varying levels of here, Like if you went
into kind of a more generic like and North Beach
or something like that, a lot of those would be
skimpier than what most people would think of a couple

(38:49):
of years ago. But they're not they're not complete songs
like their G string that is, you know, it is
a particular person and generally you do have a smaller
top to match. It's We sold a one piece D
string that was one of our top copselling styles, and

(39:09):
that was definitely an online only style, and I don't
think that people would be wearing a.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Bit pull okay. And I imagine in five years time
on the pigeon, we'll go entire the other way. It'll
be something quite different we are talking about. Would that
be right? Yeah?

Speaker 21 (39:23):
I reckon definitely, because you know, you see brands now
and even our brand it was on the skimpier side.
You know, we're starting to do kind of more like
a shorter short and stuff like that too. So it's
trends in its body trends and people shouldn't spend too
much time getting wound up about how other people want

(39:44):
to express themselves.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Nice STUFFI thank you, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
I think it's a pretty good way to canvass that
one sixteen pass nine Wow. Look for the texts about that.

Speaker 14 (39:57):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Jeepers x lottels have have guilds, thus are more closely
linked with fish, whereas reptiles have lungs. Their limbs are
adapted fins and mark a transitional point between water dweller
and landlocked. Some reptiles retain the samphibisibility, notably the Glaplos
land iguana marks if your stuck for an answer to e. G.

(40:32):
Is an ex a lottel closer to a reptile of fish,
ask meta ai. It gives britnanty clearing copies of answers
and is a sense of humor anyway eight hundred and
eighty to TENNI nine to nine two to text. Someone says,
can people not see how shallow the Western world is? Goodness? Goodness?

(40:57):
Good on you Plymouth.

Speaker 7 (40:58):
Ay.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
They always come up with something, and that's the story
that's gone around the world. So I mentioned to be
people in your Plymouth will be cringing about it. Graham
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Yeah, Marcus, greeting from South and Eden where it's down
below three degrees. In fact, about five minutes ago it
was down two point down to two point nine. And
there's a corner that turns off to Musselborrow at the
far end of Andy Bay Road, and there is a

(41:31):
digital weather machine what on that corner, And I just
come home with in the last five minutes and it's
still going down. It's down two point nine two point
nine and it's still dropping a lot of stone.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
So what's that? What's it now?

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Two point nine about five minutes ago two point nine
celsius and it's still going down.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Okay, it's kind of interesting weather in Deen. I was
into the end of the weekend and boarded a blow.
Did you get that?

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Not very much so I was here at South and Edin,
but I some of my hand friends up on the
hill said they got blown around quality.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
They're huge ones us up Sawyer's Bay area on the
headland there at Blewer, Howling Gale. After christ Church it's
been calm days so I don't know what happened. That
weather system just disappeared.

Speaker 8 (42:18):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
It's been no rain for the last three days, so
that's always much appreciated. But it's meant to nearly freeze
tonight and sort of gone below. It's predicted three point
nth degrees. It's two point nine is about five minutes ago.
So id off the press from Lors three to yourself.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Appreciate that, Graham, thank you. Always enjoy weather updates. The
only headline I can see is panicking. French elite bombard
their wealth managers with inquiries about relocate to Italy and
Switzerland amidst growing outrage over the victory. Has hardly plans
for a ninety percent tax on the rich. Of course,
they might all be moving here the way it's all

(42:59):
going twenty five past nine, Pete, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (43:03):
Here and Marcus, we're going the g string here in
the cah here in the swimmer. You've got to give
the old credit to the council. It was a very
good marketing campaign. Read doesn't cost much.

Speaker 11 (43:13):
It's all around the world.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Now those pools, who is an indoor pool? There was
first in outdoor pools, and now there's indoor pools. Of
the indoor pools all year, is it?

Speaker 5 (43:22):
Ah?

Speaker 12 (43:22):
Yeah, this market Yeah, it's got the waves in there
for the kids. It's quite They spent a bit of
money and they've redone and that recently.

Speaker 11 (43:30):
It's a nice company.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Because the outdoor pools were always fantastic there as well,
weren't they They were. I mean they're kind of a
world beater.

Speaker 12 (43:38):
Yeah, but in the winter, I think the one they
don't go there there often think the outside pools up
fifty meter pools. I mean they pretty much closed them
down the winter because it costs too much to heat them.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
You know, makes sense. Is there a lazy river in
the indoor pool?

Speaker 12 (43:55):
What do you mean by a lazy river?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Well, lazy river is like a lot of the pools now,
they've got a wave pool and they've got to plunge
pill They also have a lazy river, which is like
a meandering kind of a path. That's the water flows
quite quickly and you just kind of PLoP yourself in
it and it kind of you go with the current.

Speaker 12 (44:17):
Yeah, I'm not sure they came. It's not a pool,
so maybe they don't have that, so I wouldn't be.
Maybe someone will give you a call later on about that.
Then already go there regularly made it. Oh, hoping someone
will answer that for you. I don't really for you.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Well, Pete, don't really appreciate your reasonableness on that too.
I'm always a bit scared how people go with a
paquita with a G string band the likes of that.
We're always quick to ban things, aren't we. That's the
easier solution rather than have the more bigger discussions. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty twenty twenty six past done. If
you don't want to be a part of it. My
name is Marcus Edill twelve love a lazy river, oh

(44:52):
eight hundred eighty to eighty Marcus. I recall a garden
shop and Wada in the seventies and had three glass
cases of skinkskickos and lizardds. I often wondered whatever happened
to them after the old man passed. He's when I
grew up, everyone had ex Lotte's. They were a pet

(45:14):
of choice. You don't see them that often anymore. The
other thing I mentioned too, there's a new tatara enclosure
in the park in Queen's Park in ver Cargo. Here's
anyone seen any tatara in the yet? Because every time
I've been there, I couldn't see any them. I just
wonder if they've actually decided to actually come out of

(45:36):
their shells yet or their holes. I thought that might
be a bit of a problem if you couldn't see them.
I thought it might be a design fault. But they
might have come right.

Speaker 19 (45:44):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
The other story that is pretty exciting from a story
on the Herald. It's looking like in Auckland that there's
a number of potential public transport solutions that could be
on the cards. One is trackless tram, the other is

(46:10):
amphibious boats, and the third is a gondola from the
airport to Botany. It's all good. The trouble with the
trackless trams is the weight, because of course, if you've

(46:32):
got trams on tracks, that means the road's not damaged
because they're on steel ribbons of steel. But with trackless trams,
they're going to be as heavy as the double decker
buses that do damage the roads, although they're not nearly
as heavy as they once were because when the trackless

(46:53):
trams were first proposed, their batteries were extremely heavy, and
the weight of batteries has come way down. So they
would go from the airport to Botany, I guess I
have to go over the harbor bridge over the motorway.
I guess it's about eight k's, ten k's, maybe fifteen k's,

(47:13):
but it's not a bad thing. You go all the
way to Hawick if you could.

Speaker 14 (47:17):
So.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Gondolas and trackless trams they reckon. They'll get the trackless
trams for free from China as a test model, and
they go up to gradients of fifteen degrees the Harbor
Bridge's six degrees. They carried three hundred people, so a
lot more than a double decker bus. I caught a
double decker bus back from Albany a couple of weeks

(47:39):
back on a Saturday, no room. It was the day
there was the protest march in town, so a lot
of people were on the bus. But it was amazing.
Even in the weekend, those double decker buses on that
busway were jam packed. In fact, the driver stopped and
so I couldn't stand in the stairwell, which was slightly embarrassing.

(48:01):
I don't quite know why I couldn't. Don't quite know
how a new I was there to shuffle along. Anyway,
we are talking about that as well. That's just another
conversation starter for you, So get in touch, Marcus or
midnight Tonight eight hundred and eighty ten eight nine text

(48:23):
the proposed g string band from the Pools in New Plymouth,
the reptile show in Dunedin, and gondolas as an Auckland
transport solution. I'm going to say I'm all in for
the gondolas. I think Queenstown should have them. I think

(48:45):
Auckland should have them. I don't know how good they
are with their fun to ride, so yeah, big tick
for that one. Anyway, NRL confirmed the Warriors are going
to Vegas. God, I don't know how many people to
be interested in going to Vegas to watch just well,
I mean betting with the class team crew. Well Niko

(49:08):
is kind of off the boiler. But yeah, I don't
know if it would be good to watch it, and
because you'll be going to Vegas to watch it with
the whole of Australians after three days on the Razzeldowsland Vegas,
they'd becoming unstuck, wouldn't they. And it's a shame with
the women's match they're having there. That's not the Kiwis
versus the Aussies I thought that would be. It's going
to be England versus Australia. Scotty Marcus, welcome, Hi, Scotty Marcus.

Speaker 8 (49:31):
I know you love breaking the news and being the
first to break it, so here you go you can
have the breaking news on the Warriors in New Zealand.
Will be putting on a special flight one off flight
to Las Vegas to take up a planeload of Warriors
fans on the Thursday night before the game, coming back
on the Monday after the game.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Wow, okay, haven't.

Speaker 8 (49:55):
Been announced yet. They had to wait for the NRL
to make the announcement of the dates. And in New Zealand,
we'll probably be announcing me at the next two days.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Do you work for them?

Speaker 13 (50:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Do you know the con Do you know the cost?

Speaker 8 (50:08):
It'll be a circle four thousand, six hundred to four
eight hundred.

Speaker 9 (50:12):
Would accommodation yep, full on package.

Speaker 8 (50:15):
So it'll be a flight up. There'll be a special function.
I think it'll involve some of the warriors with a
meet and greet before and then a yeah, all accommodation
and transfers. Okay, the plane's going to fly up to
Las Vegas. It's a non scheduled flight, so it'll be
just a warrior's flight only. Then the flame plane flies

(50:38):
from Las Vegas up to Los Angeles, brings back what
becomes part of the regular E New Zone service from
Los Angeles back to enz and then it goes back
from Auckland to Los Angeles with as part of the
regular route, and then flies empty from Los Angeles down
to Las Vegas, picks up the Wilds fans and brings

(51:00):
them back on Monday. They're right back on a Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Because my thoughts and I had the discussion with the family, right,
my thoughts is it's all about the next four weeks. Yeah,
because if the Warriors aren't in the and what a
roller coaster that's been, that's been heartbreaking. If the roller coast,
if the Warriors aren't in the in the top eight,

(51:23):
then you're going to want them see that? Are you
going to want to see them play Penrith? Who will
win it? Do we know the draw? There's only two games,
aren't there.

Speaker 8 (51:32):
Yeah, they've named the teams, but I don't think they've
named the draw. Who's going to play?

Speaker 13 (51:36):
Who is?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
It's Penrith, Cranulla, Canberra and the Warriors?

Speaker 17 (51:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (51:42):
Yeah, Okay, it'll sell out within two days, be forecasting
will sell out within two days.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
The flight or the match, the whole the whole package.

Speaker 8 (51:52):
So your package will include your flights, transfers, accommodation, the
meet and greet and tickets to the game.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Okay are you going to go?

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (52:04):
Well, I was thinking of you. I've known about it
for a while couple of weeks now and I was thinking,
do I give Marcus the heads up. I know you're
a bit of a Wars fan.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
To be honest, I'm not a bit of a Wars fan.
I'm an NRL fan. I can't watch the Warriors. It's
too nerve wrecking for me. Yeah, you know, I love
it when it goes well. I tend to watch the
first half their collapses. Then I'll go to a bath
or something and come watch the last five minutes if
it looks like we're going to win it, because that's
normally the way it has been that it's been incredibly exciting.

(52:34):
I just feel for them so much. I mean, they're
such a great team, and I don't know what happened.
I don't know what happened with Vanima Blake. I don't
know what happened with the contract with him getting a
step down from them. I just can't work out what's
gone on with the team.

Speaker 8 (52:46):
It's like the old Tom Hanks movie. You know, life
is like a box of toplets, and you never know
what you're going to get with the Warriors from week
to week. And that's what makes it so great.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
It wasn't last year consistent. We had that amazing golden
point win against Cronella there was all sorts of things.
It was magic that happened and we just assumed that
was going to carry on.

Speaker 8 (53:03):
Yeah, and I've been selling out every game. The season
has been to sell out. You can't get tickets to
the games.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
And that's a great and that's a great thing, fantastic
And I presume that gives I presume that gives them
more money to be well, that doesn't give them more
money because it goes sealary cap. Haven't there? That doesn't
work like that, does it?

Speaker 8 (53:20):
Nover means they can make the facilities better and bring
on a bit of development squad and bring through younger players.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
It's kind of weird the whole thing about taking the
NRL to Australia, because it's my understanding that's all about
sports bedding. Is that your understanding as well?

Speaker 8 (53:36):
You mean Australia or the US.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
For US, that's opening up the US market for sport
betting on Australian sports.

Speaker 8 (53:43):
I had some buddies who went up this year for
the first one, and there was a lot of Aussies
up there. There are a lot of kivs went up
even though the Warriors weren't playing. A lot of keys
went up this time. But it's more about the experience.
You go, give people a reason to go out, and
people will go out a good reason to go out,
and this is give people a good reason to go
and watch the boys play up in Las Vegas and

(54:05):
you go with a bunch of mate and you have
a great boys tour. You have a long weekend for
five days, have a great time, and you go and
see your game of rugby league as well.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
It's announced tomorrow, is it?

Speaker 7 (54:15):
Ah?

Speaker 8 (54:16):
Innie Gela had to wait until the NRL announced the
date before in New Zealand could announce that they've got
the steel going on. But now that the NRL's come
out with the dates in New Zealand will come up
with we're taking up the plane. Here's the package, tike
us go and sale whenever.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Brilliant, there we go, nice to talks go.

Speaker 14 (54:36):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
That's the update, that's the breaking news. And again I
guess that'd be quite a tempting price for people as
well to go and all all taking care of the
tickets and the flights and the accommodation and Marcus absolutely
gondolas between Queenstown and Milford. It would pull one hundred
buses a day off one of these trickiest roads once
established a greener option. I love the idea of the tunnel.

(54:58):
I thought the tunnel to Milford was a fantastic idea
that people in Gland Orky got a bit salty about it,
but they would have coped. I think one of the
problems with the tunnel was they put the overburden. I
thought there was a great idea. Gondolas Betwy Yes, Marcus

(55:21):
desperated airport, transport from Northork and heaps of development out
here on the High Biscuits coast, yet not even an
airbus from Albany anymore. Well, they're probably a second airport.
Marcus was the trained train trams thing. They are a
great idea and it goes on. Oh, by the way,

(55:45):
I'm just reading. I think it's from New Zealand Herald
that the Las Vegas opposition for the Warriors is going
to be Canberra Raiders, which there are teams off the
baller but anyway, so I don't know what's going to
go happen there. The most exciting about them is their
coach when he splits the dummy. But yeah, that's the situation.
It's going to be the Warriors versus the Canberra In

(56:07):
the other match will be Penrith versus Sharks. Back at
your My name is Marcus Hidt, twelve o'clock. If you
want to talk. We are talking about the proposed g
string band from the pools in New Plymouth. Some woman
is concerned. Don't quite know what she's concerned about. When
she says she knows what she's concerned about, I don't

(56:28):
think she really knows what she's concerned about. But there
we go. That is her if in doubt, start a
petition and get it banned. We're talking about the reptile
show in Duned and what it proves is that people
have a lot of interest in reptiles. I think quite
a few people turned up, although the show was pretty sketchy.

(56:52):
I don't know where we are with xlotls. There are
a big pet there in the seventies. Are people still
into those? I'd be curious if you've got to say
something about that. Oh, eight hundred and eighty Teddy and
nineteen nine to text Marcus till midnight. Anything else you
want to talk about, feel free to get involved, get
in touch. But mainly it's been the bikinis. Well it's
a micro bikini. I think they're calling it different from

(57:15):
a micro brewery, the micro bikini, and I think that's well,
the g string's part of that apparently, so that's what
people are saying.

Speaker 9 (57:25):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
And she also doesn't want them at the rivers and
the beaches, so there you go. But and I don't
think she's got a lot of support. There was an
online pole that gave some support, but I think with
online poles people kind of tap and tap and tap
and tap and tap away to prove a point. And
maybe people are trying to fuel the outrage. And maybe

(57:48):
it's something that's one of those culture war things that's
been imported from the States, the people looking online and
seeing there's some sort of you know thing happening over there,
so they're trying to import those divisive topics to New Zealand.
There's no winners in a thing like this, and the

(58:09):
poor guy that manages the the poor person that manages
the pools, I think it's a guy. And the last
thing they want is petitions and people calling for bands
and the likes that they're going to take it to council.
They have the moral majority coming and make submissions. There's
all sorts of hearings when you've got to have the
people come up and say how outraged they are and

(58:30):
what happened to them at the pools goodness, and nothing
will change.

Speaker 19 (58:39):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
The other thing too that I haven't really told much
about New Zealand first is question whether inter Island are
utter teddy ferry run a ground after the ship was
an autopilot. I think New Zealand first have always been
big on big claims about what happens to ships, like

(59:00):
they think they've got an insider, But the insider I
don't know if it's the most reliable witness. There's been
all sorts of far fetched claims in the past. I
look into that. So there's that, Aaron Marcus, good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 13 (59:16):
Top of the evening for your Marcus.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Erin thank you for calling.

Speaker 13 (59:20):
I didn't. I thought it was the only one in
the world that didn't have the Internet or two computer
stuff and you you're in the summer. The mindset, God, yep,
I might do without the internet, might do without cell phone.
I'm a wee bit in the old world, but I've
still got one hundred and eighty bucks leapt to my
account before pay two days before pay day. Good the

(59:42):
ex models Marcus, we saw that was looking after those
things that you mentioned before. And Billia she told me
that she had about five females in a tech that
were middle aged and one of them tuned themselves into
a male.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
What's that called it?

Speaker 13 (01:00:02):
Something to do with the genetics? Is it called when
you're writing a net when the younger and they get
their legs bitten off or their tail but not within
about three days to about a month or two or
grow back?

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Did you go to the moment?

Speaker 13 (01:00:19):
I know? I used to know Melia when she had
a pet rescue and kN youbo treats out to need
and I went and to help them, yeah, help them now?

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
And then so she's she is? She a big deal
in the x Lottle world in Dunedin.

Speaker 13 (01:00:34):
Yep, there was probably her that scored all these ones
and little yeah and bags and stuff and ted poles too,
in them into adults, looking after them a lot of
work days.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
You will tell you what you know. Even as I
was how old are how old are you are you born?
Are you in your fifties?

Speaker 8 (01:00:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:00:53):
Fifty three? One was born?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Because when I grew up right, we all had frogs
and tadpoles and X lottles. It was all the rage
we all did that. You don't hear about the kids
with them anymore.

Speaker 13 (01:01:05):
That's a lot of commi and dedication to keep them alive.
And I haven't seen many. But there are white ones too,
because the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
White EGX lodels are almost transparent, aren't they.

Speaker 13 (01:01:16):
Yeah, they'll try and change the colors with the surroundings,
so they're not easy prey. Well okay, yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
You can do weird things like they grabbed leagues onto
them and stuff with exodals, don't they they're weird.

Speaker 13 (01:01:31):
There's something like this, or the XTCE lourels actually grow
another league.

Speaker 19 (01:01:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Okay, so you haven't got me at the moment.

Speaker 13 (01:01:39):
No, not myself. No, I've got about six thousand crystals
in my house and four hundred bonds eyes in the backhead. Okay,
it's my, it's my it's my hobbs hobbies.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Yeah. How's the bond size working out for you? Is
there security risk with those? Because they're quite valuable, aren't
they too?

Speaker 13 (01:01:57):
Righty on nineteen seventy five, it's about three thousand dollars
maybe more. Okay, you know when you were talking about
Eden the other night though quite how cool westerly when
so I have to go out and check the trees
that mother Nat hasn't blowing them away?

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Okay, do you water them every day?

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
To right?

Speaker 13 (01:02:15):
That's the secret keeping the wee thing alive. Doesn't always
going to have rained exactly where your tree is to order
them in the morning, water them at night. All the
life is in the base in the bottom. To make
sure you water the roots in the morning, and then
after the wind's passed over in the afternoon and the
sun's going away, water the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
So your water, you water them twice a day.

Speaker 13 (01:02:36):
Keep it, keep it, keep it groomed and frimmed. But
over winter evergreens are still growing that you can do
pinching and are we but the broad leaves that have
dropped all their leaves. You can see the structure of
the tree without the leaves on and get to work
out where they need to be when you're before you
start pruning. And September like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
A random question for you, Aaron, I asked someone that
I met who didn't think I was serious, but could
you do a bond side gorse bush?

Speaker 13 (01:03:08):
Yes? You could if that's so your thing. Yeah, what
would it look like? It would be just a had virtually,
it would be how you will. It will shape it
south by the how you the position you've had it in,
and the little bits will die off so that from
that off and rotate, rotate the tree around every two

(01:03:31):
weeks so it gets an even proportion of light on
both sides. It's not all beerd just on one side
of it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
I've never seen one, and I always thought someone would
have given that a go. It's such a prolific grow.
I've never seen a bond side gorse bush.

Speaker 13 (01:03:44):
No, yes, I've heard of someone trying to marijuana.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Okay, did that work out?

Speaker 7 (01:03:48):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:03:49):
It does, but you're actually punch in the wee buds
off and you have to have it in a bucket
for over a year or two continuous.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
I had a bond side, but unfortunately, you know what
happens with kids and you're playing football and got knocked
over one too many times. So I felt quite bad
about that. I still mourned that tree. I didn't really
take good enough care of it.

Speaker 13 (01:04:13):
It's all good, but it's it's me. There are we
last reason?

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Yeah, that's right, that's one last lessons there are nice
to talk to. Thank you for goodness sake, everyone's got
a bum. Someone says exactly, it's a very sensible text. Wow,
but I kind of wonder what happened when the bikini
first came out. People must have just gone out of control.

(01:04:41):
It went from sort of full shoulder to knee bathing
suits to the bikini. Godness, can you imagine the talk back? Unbelievable?
Twenty one past ten and Bond size their next lols.
Anything else you want to talk about. It'd be nice
to hear from you. My name is Marcus Hit'll twelve
oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Keep your emails

(01:05:01):
coming through with like your calls school holiday Tuesday. Love
to hear from you. A lot of people see me videos.
I can't watch those at work. I haven't got the time.
I'm on here get it doesn't work for me, but
you get in touch, as I say, oh, eight hundred

(01:05:21):
and eighty ten eighty. A lot of people still texting
about why you'd have a button on your vacuum clear
to make it suck less? Seems mainly for people that
have got health problems and don't like the strong power
of it. So there we go. That's what that's about.

(01:05:42):
For your melee or something like that. Mum wants pornographic
g string bikini's band at the poll. This is her.
I wonder what she's where she's coming from. Really, if
there's going to be more to this story. Dixon's the
woman's back name, Amy Dixon. I think yeah, Amy. Three

(01:06:07):
sons started a petition, she says, out of curiosity. At
least she might be doing someone else's bidding. Susie, it's Marcus,
good evening, welcome, ah cure Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:06:22):
I'm more concerned with the woman that's concerned about the
g strings at the public falling boves. What sort of
what she's doing to her younger, to her son.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Well, I would imagine that she is bringing to their
attention and to their concerns something that they probably have
not a care in the world about.

Speaker 23 (01:06:51):
Exactly. That's like, yeah, exactly, my niece she makes bu Kenny's.
She walks around and g strengths on my sixties. I
stole strings. I find them more comfortable, and I just

(01:07:13):
can't believe that someone.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Keep going, you've died mid sentence, Okay, we'll never well,
are you still there. I didn't hear a tone. He's
still there, Susie who. I don't know what swim were

(01:07:41):
of being banned in the past, but I'm sure there's
a long history of swim we're being banned. In fact,
in the sixties the Pope said the bikini was shameful,
so once upon a time it would have been outlawed
the bikini. I don't know when there was and it
was ever outlawed. Now, I think the micro bikini came from.

(01:08:07):
I don't know where it actually originated from. Duncan, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:08:15):
Me, Yeah, Hi, Duncan, Hey Marcus, how are you? Good?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Things Duncan that are just ring up.

Speaker 16 (01:08:21):
About the bikini things. I mean, it's quite a prehistoric
attitude towards people in their bodies, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
This kind of what's weird what someone's sort of quite
young and seems quite quite a good communicator has come
up with it.

Speaker 16 (01:08:40):
M hm, well me, I'm I'm thirty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Now I'm talking about the woman, not your age. I'm
talk about the woman that came up with the wanting
to ban it from the public baths.

Speaker 16 (01:08:53):
Really, yeah, I mean, I think those sort of prehistoric
attitudes leads a lot into why a lot of people
are leading this country at the moment too.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Yeah, I don't disagree this whole Yeah, I think Duncan,
what you're saying is that everyone getting so outraged about everything.
You just say one thing on the Internet and there's
just a thousand people getting angry and buy keyboards. Just
kind of Yeah, I entirely agree with you.

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:09:25):
I mean, if you don't like the look of a bikini,
to stop looking at the person area.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
And I think it's deliberate. I think we inherit a
lot of these culture walls from America with kind of
the far right trying to wind up people about gender,
about all sorts of things, and we're buying into it
over here.

Speaker 7 (01:09:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:09:42):
Yeah, the gender things definitely crazy personally. I think it
more comes from their British shirtage and they're very conservative
to views on everything. To make a prodution over the
last century, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
I think, if anything, the woman should just be ecstatic
that the council have got such great pools there in
your Plymouth, funded obviously by the Todd Energy Group. They've
got the sponsorship, they've got the pools going. Be excited.
About that, rather than finding fault with what some people
are wearing. David says suit he didn't have enough coverage.
Very good, Very good, Marcus. The name bikini came from

(01:10:22):
Bikini Attol, where they were watered as part of the
testing the effects of radiation. I think they're city named
after Bikini Attel. I don't know if that was the inference, Marcus.
Nobody's shames or brings women down. Like other women. Women
love to tear each other down. There you go. Then

(01:10:45):
the crazy texts, would you like your partner to wear
one at the pools? Marcus? I don't think so. She
wear what she likes and she will. What a stupid text, Deeddy,
I'm just reading a story about someone on Short and

(01:11:06):
Street has died. I'm not quite sure it with the
actor or the character. They're doing stories about characters dying.
It's confusing. Now here's Owen, Here's Owen, the classic Owen. Yeah,
how old Owen will be? Marcus. I love the look
of a felt young woman g strings, but the line

(01:11:26):
between clothes and total nudity in public needs to be
drawn somewhere. Goodness, I think the designing the g string
and calling it clothing is too fine a line, no
matter how attractive, regards owen, so Owen wants to tell
people how to what they could wear to go swimming.

(01:11:46):
Good on your Owen. Good luck with that cheap as.
I love the eye. I love the look of s
felt young women. Marcus. I wore my first sexy bikini
last summer at the age of fifty three, after recovering
from breast cancer. An amstick to me one year earlier.
I felt amazing and be proud of myself. It is

(01:12:07):
in my bikini magazine. Feeling stronger than ever. Oh, Marcus,
I feel more strongly about protect my sons from the
age men walking around swinging their bits all the while
hacking up their lungs. Not a great time, Rob. I'll
tell you the one thing about swimming. If if you

(01:12:29):
go to a swimming pool right or a campground shower right,
the thing that I always find disturbing. Often at the
swimming pools there's always people in the shower showering away,

(01:12:52):
and they are always and now, what's the polite word
I can explain this for they are always I don't
know if I can come up with the right word
that is not going to disgust you. But they are
always kind of hiking and fleming, which I think is

(01:13:13):
incredibly distasteful and it's probably not something you should be
doing in the showers. But oh well, I guess that's
not a battle I'm gonna pick. I guess I think
each to their own and decide not to hang around
there for too long. But yeah, very unpleasant. But you know,
change yourself will change the world. That's probably my advice

(01:13:37):
about that. You can pick the things you're gonna get
upset and triggered by, and the less the better. But
I'm not going to start getting getting annoyed or upset
about people in their items of clothing. Yeah, you're gonna
have them springs. You can get upset by some of
the extraordinary ridiculous choices for tattoos people have, but you know,

(01:14:02):
each to their own. Where there are some classics. O Marcus.
I go to Melbourne regularly. G travel Bragg and the
G string is popular. Plus men wear budgie smuggers swimming
at the beach. I prefer them. He's in swimwear, men
in shorts and women in the one suit outfit or
a bikini not showing a full behind in France, there

(01:14:26):
are rules. I don't know if that's true. Send me
the French rules. If any well Antonians are listening, have
they caught anyone responsible for hacking native illegal bike trows,
long walk tracks? What a bunch of clowns read that through?
It sounded a weird one, that one. Anyway, our final
comments on the proposed or the wanted bikini band and

(01:14:47):
you plymouth crazy anyway, get in touch. My name is Marcus.
Welcome also to the Warriors the game in Vegas. Will
you begun of that? And ex A lottles yes? Oh
wait eighty eighteen eighty nine two nine to text, So

(01:15:11):
there we go. Welcome people. Seems like the thong's been around.
I mean it seems like a lot of countries have
had these discussions many years ago. Kind of find it
weird that the discussions in the winter, Like, really, you
think there'd be more summer discussion. Oh well, let's be

(01:15:33):
hearing from you as I say, oh eight hundred and
eightiesady text calls anything goes Marcus still midnight tonight, cold
temperatures around the country. Standing room only at the Tiano
Tennis Club tonight, Greg. Thanks Greg. Nice to hear from you.
That's good to know. Did she play much to I
don't know how often. I mean, I'm not doubting that,
but I don't know how often she goes back and

(01:15:54):
forwards to Tiano Marcus, Greetings from Holland. When traveling through France,
we found that in any public swimming pools, budgie smugglers
were mandatory for all males post childhood. Strange but true.

(01:16:15):
And also the trams without tracks. And the problem with
trams without tracks is they'll be very heavy and damage
the roads. They'll be as heavy as double decker buses
that do damage the roads. So I don't know what
the solution is there. That's why you've got tram tracks
to distribute the weight. So that's going to be a problem,

(01:16:40):
but they're a third of the cost. Just to shame
the government, just and go ahead, commit to light rail
and go ahead with it. To shame that the political
parties can't get consent, us to get some long term planning.
And then perhaps more people want to stay in the
country because it's becoming a bit of a scream. I

(01:17:01):
mean it's not it's becoming deafening. The noise of people leaving.
That'll stop that'll turn around some time. It'll be a
number of years away that the rebalance will happen with
people moving to Australia. It was very much like that
in the late seventies and the eighties. Everyone was going
then suddenly, of course, things stopped. I'm not quite sure

(01:17:21):
what's going to happen this time and when it's going
to happen. But you don't often hear about people moving
to Australia and not loving it anyway. I'm sure of
callers will need you to come through if there's something
else you want to mention tonight. If there's another topic
that you think is the one we ought to be discussing,
I am happy for that. You might have some view

(01:17:42):
on what in z first said that the person piloting
the ore Tarry had the ship on autopilot and couldn't
turn it off autopilot. I'm not familiar with the autopilot
switch and how complicated that is, but you might have

(01:18:02):
s insight of that. I guess it'll come up in
the investigation. Ooh, oh, Lola, it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening.
High Lola, Hi, I can't hear are there? Yeah, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:18:25):
Yeah, Hi Lola.

Speaker 23 (01:18:29):
Oh that's better.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
That's you, not me. I didn't do anything different, but
nice welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:18:36):
Yeah you said about no long term planning in New Zealand, Well,
they got rid of the Upper House in nineteen thirty
seven and there's been and so we don't have any
any upper house guiding our country. So we just have
parliament prime ministers coming in and making whatever choices they

(01:18:57):
want to make and ditching this and starting this up,
and we're just going backwards and forwards all the way forward.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Is the only way to say that the upper House,
Because the UK had the Upper House, don't.

Speaker 14 (01:19:09):
They They all have upper houses in America and the UK, Australia, Canada,
they all have them.

Speaker 19 (01:19:17):
You have to have it for forward planning.

Speaker 14 (01:19:19):
But in New Zealand we can just go ahead and
just do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
So how does the upper House work to becttion courage
long term? Is it because they're on a different time frame,
a different term.

Speaker 19 (01:19:31):
No, they plan.

Speaker 14 (01:19:32):
They have forward planning. If you decide to make a
decision to make something or a public service, they make
sure it's current with the you know, with everything that's
it's just the planning. It's like we had a green

(01:19:52):
belt around Auckland. I don't think we've got a green
belt anymore. It's getting built on. And not only that,
all our growing areas and carry carey for oranges and
pokatorry for potatoes and onions, it's all getting built on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Yeah, look, I don't disagree, but I also think if
our voters weren't as easily manipulated by cheap promises which
never happen, they could get some more continuity. But yeah,
I accept your point about the upper House. I mean
that's not something I've often thought about.

Speaker 14 (01:20:26):
Well, Australia has I'm not sure what they call it,
but the Senate.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
I think it's a Senate in Australia, is it.

Speaker 14 (01:20:34):
We need some forward planning somehow to get this country
running like it used to.

Speaker 19 (01:20:40):
But I think I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
I don't think it always used to run that well either.
By the way, Lola, I don't think. I don't think
that suddenly. I don't think it's suddenly become a short plan.
I mean, look at the problems with Auckland transport. No
one's decided to do anything for a long long time,
apart from Bill Road nineteen.

Speaker 14 (01:20:59):
Thirty seven was a long long way away.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
Yeah, but you know, there's been ninety thirty seven, has
been eighty years of an action when it comes to
rapid treads sport. But nice to talk to you, Lola.
Thank you for that. Oh wait, one hundred eighty eight
idiots the g strings. It's kind of amazing that we
get this chance once in a while for people kind
of to tell us what really goes on in their minds.

(01:21:22):
It's pretty extraordinary. Surprise. Brian Tomaki hasn't come out to
say anything. This is kind of his area too, Is
it think people want to wear? Maybe good evening, Paul,
It's Marcus Welcome, Good.

Speaker 9 (01:21:41):
Evening, Marcus Paul. Hey, just another subject to get onto.
The all black jersey.

Speaker 10 (01:21:50):
Yeah, I thought it was.

Speaker 9 (01:21:54):
Really disgusting. I thought it was so ugly, and so
many people have said the same thing to me. I
don't know if there's any reaction out there, but it
was just I don't know, the design of the collar
just looked right out of place. It was just so ugly.
It just didn't really suit the brand at all. I

(01:22:18):
don't know. Eddie dash is, you know, big money sponsor. Yeah,
a lot of people were saying the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
I don't know, Paul, Can I just I don't want
to interrupt you, but I'm dying. I went to the
Eddidask shop today to have a look at it in
the flesh.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Right, yeah, okay, And if you if you.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
Think it's bad on the players on the rack, it
looks atrocious and I just wonder if.

Speaker 9 (01:22:45):
The quality came out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
I wonder if the quality control wasn't there, if they
didn't have the people check out after it was made.
It looks unwearable.

Speaker 9 (01:22:54):
Oh okay, that's that's interesting because.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
I wouldn't be seeing dead in it. It was too flouncy,
and there's too much and the colors even sit properly,
even on the mannequin in the shop. You look at
you think cheap is what it looks like. Two different
items have been combined.

Speaker 9 (01:23:09):
Absolutely, and that's one my wife's, you know, that is
just so ugly and just.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Not And I think I think people will be mocking
people on the streets. I think people be mocking people
on the streets that are wearing one. People will be
laughing and pointing.

Speaker 9 (01:23:27):
Well, who's going to buy one?

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
No one to give one to that guy from the chase,
he wouldn't buy one. He looks stupid in it looked
like he's off to court.

Speaker 8 (01:23:36):
Exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:23:37):
So who's going to buy that?

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
No one, They've lost the plot. Yeah, but what it
means is the all black jersey should be made by Canterbury.
It never should have gone to any desks. They don't
know Rugby, they don't know their history, and that design
has proven it. It's a it's a bigg as muddle.

Speaker 9 (01:23:54):
Yeah, but it's money, it's a big sponsor.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
It's no money because no one's going to buy it
because it looks so terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
No, it's terrible.

Speaker 9 (01:24:01):
No, there's no way they're going to get any revenue
out of that juessey.

Speaker 8 (01:24:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
And this you want to and each you want to
buy one, and this you want to buy one to
like wear to a bad dress fancy dress party in
twenty years when it becomes really famous as the worst
jersey of all time.

Speaker 17 (01:24:16):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
Yeah, yes, that's about the only worse of it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
I'm there for you, Paul.

Speaker 7 (01:24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
I went to the shop. They were at dressmall. Let's
give a look at that, and I thought, Gee, it's
worse than I thought. I could not believe it. And
other one that doesn't buy sports jerseys. But I saw
that when I thought Jeepers, if I was given one,
i'd hide that. Yeah, just shocking.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
I haven't listened to sport. I had listened to Darcy todnight,
I had Halligan on, but I haven't heard anyone talk
on the talk back about it. But Jeepers don't even
know what to do with that anger, just atrocious, Martin Marcus, welcome, Hello,
good evening. Welcome Marcus. Hello.

Speaker 7 (01:25:01):
Oh yeah, hey, I've been thinking about how to tackle
this issue of at the swimming pools and we don't
want to bum anyone out, but not very good. Yeah,
but I think that's tom highlights krek in society that
we have to deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Is it your best who's writing your material? The Martin A,
you're writing your own stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:25:22):
Oh man, that's the only true that I've got that
I'm allowed.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
Yeah, you've gone with Craig, you've gone with bumming.

Speaker 9 (01:25:34):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:25:34):
I was trying to figure out a way that we
could maybe pull us back to commentary on political I
appreciate your spirit.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
I appreciate your spirit. You put if it to make
a good phone call. I appreciate that. And I kind
of did wonder whether people up for the discussion about
a bathing item with other people would be too sort of,
but I think people have been I think people have
roundly seen this woman has been has been completely out
of step.

Speaker 7 (01:26:02):
Well, I think I think that's fair enough. I feel
like we spent years trying to not worry about how
people express themselves and now yeah, we're being told that, Oh,
actually maybe in a lot of expressions and the way
you wanted to. And I think whether you're in a
pool at the beach, where you're in it anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
I'm not saying she should lose her kids, but I
mean she must have told them some pretty weird messages
for the kids that for her to think the kids
would think it was pornographic. Kids won't even know what
the word pornographic meant. They have no concept of it. Anyway,
I appreciate your attempts, Martin, thank you for that.

Speaker 13 (01:26:41):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
I enjoyed that greatly. I've enjoyed the guy's passion about
the all Big Jersey. Finally, Yeah, what is terrible because
I couldn't believe they'd sell it. Of course, Razor can't
say anything about it because he's judy bound to not
begged the sponsor, and of course old the Barretts can't

(01:27:03):
say anything about it because they're the captain. I don't
know who's left to have a say about it. I'm
gonna forget the shot clock and clearly it was longer
than me. You should just kick the ball. I'm going
to work at what to do with this collar. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty Teddy and nineteen ninety six one

(01:27:24):
name as Marcus. Well, can we just look at the
texts twenty nine away from twelve.

Speaker 24 (01:27:31):
Blah blah blah, Um.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
Marcus, it's old men like yourself that enjoy viewing young
women and g strings. If you had a daughter, I
don't think you would feel the same about old men
getting enjoyment watching your daughter while swimming, listening to old
men saying g strings are fine, it's quite sickening. Actually, Wow,
master's degree in missing the point there. You heard the
caller earlier that's got the three young daughters. Is what

(01:28:07):
they want to wear, and how do anyone tell they
should wear them? I wouldn't make any comment about what
people can wear. It's not my job what they want.
What we can't do is tell people what they can
and can't wear. Sicko Janet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:28:30):
Oh hello, No, I was just thinking, from what I
understand the woman who's made the stand, is all of
that only at public swimming pools. If you're at a
beach and you're uncomfortable with your children being exposed to
something's move you know, well way or at or rhyth

(01:28:52):
you can move well away. But a public pool, you're
in an enclosed area and you don't have that option.
And also I.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
Think I think she still has she still has a
problem with them at the beach and the rivers, according
to the article on the Arinz website.

Speaker 19 (01:29:13):
Well okay, but that's not what she's actually made a
formal complaint.

Speaker 8 (01:29:18):
About, is it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
Well, she had a petition, but you can't tell me
you agree with her.

Speaker 19 (01:29:24):
Okay, how about this? How about all the good old
blokes at c were wearing g strings? Will you feel
that comfortable?

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Well, well, for a start, they're not I mean men,
we're budget Hang on, men, we're budgy smugglers, which probably
some would say are more revealing, and no one.

Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
Say I'm not.

Speaker 19 (01:29:46):
They don't show your entire But.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
I think if you think about it, a bit, Jen.
I mean, I mean, you're not stupid, are you? I
mean jeeps creepers, Jen. I'm not going to get into
the discussion of the anatomy, but I think even you
could work out what we're talking about. Theres anyway, Marcus,

(01:30:13):
have the Greenies and put of the Amish all black
collars complained about the G string Susie been ats Marcus,
good evening, welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:30:23):
Hey, Marcus. Those colors that's got to be being from
swimming pools and from the rugby field. I had an
Italian designer shoot once and and that was what made
it designer was because I had a big color. It
was a pain. Pain in the JACKSI to get up
through your tweeter or you know, or nothing against Italians,

(01:30:48):
but the thing about in this country.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
Colors are going to be quite well made.

Speaker 9 (01:30:54):
The national team.

Speaker 11 (01:30:58):
So yeah then, but as far as these ta things going,
and what what are you going to say to the Ausies.
You know they're going to turn up to swimming pool,
the swimming pool with sneakers on or shoes on in
their g baner, you know, no gendles.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Very good point, very good point. Thank you goodness your
g banger there we go is Summer calling it that, Helen,
It's Marcus welcome. Hello, Hi Helen.

Speaker 5 (01:31:33):
Oh hi. I'd love to comment on that call about
the Senate. Shane Jones is in Western Australia at the
moment encouraging the mining companies to come to New Zealand
using the fast track legislation. There's a filling point and
I feel that I'm not quite sure if this is

(01:31:54):
very Why why is this piece of legislation. It's all
happened too fast, and I feel that if we had
something like a Senate we should be this is the
kind of thing we should be looking at. I don't
I'm not anti mining as such, but I'm just a
bit concerned about about these developments.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
So what are you saying about the Senate. That's not
going to happen. We're not going to change our politicals.

Speaker 5 (01:32:20):
But the point of the call was that, you know,
they can put anything through they want to, you know,
and we've got nothing to slow anything.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Down, you know, apart from the next time the parties
get overthrown every three terms and they unchange everything.

Speaker 5 (01:32:39):
Yes, that's right, which is not.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
A not necessarily a bad thing. It's just when it
comes to important things like power and transport.

Speaker 5 (01:32:46):
Ye, but I'm not.

Speaker 8 (01:32:47):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:32:48):
I'm not prey happy about this. These mining companies coming in.
We don't know what breaks are going to be on them.
You know what what what we're going to get out
of it, you know the benefits for the country, et cetera.
And I don't. I don't. I don't really like what's
actually happening with this. I'm not I'm not anti mining necessarily,

(01:33:10):
but I don't really like this thing about this fast
track with legislation and then going off to West Australia
encouraging all these mining companies to come here with seeming
I just don't want. I don't think we've seen enough
of it. It could be very bad.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
I think this look.

Speaker 8 (01:33:32):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
I think if there is rampant mining and protected and
sensitive areas, it's going to be a huge bare clash
against it. And I think we've already started seeing that
there's going to be very little mining is going to
get done under this scum. There's probably going to be
a bit and central otago for gold because it's at
such a premium, but I think probably for low value

(01:33:53):
stuff like cold is not going to be meany new
mines opened, and I don't. I think a lot of
the stuff that Chane Jones is talking about doesn't even
exist in the South Island. He's just trying to he's
just trying to talk it up. I think probably there's
going to be very little mining's going to get done.
That would be my take.

Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
I just think we should be careful with it, that's all.

Speaker 19 (01:34:10):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
Absolutely, and people and in this country, people can people
care hugely about the environment. We saw what happened with
Lake Tiana when they're going to raise that for the
Manipuli Dam and how and they had hundreds of thousands signatures.
This country has a huge connection with the outdoors and
with nature. And you know, the people might have been

(01:34:33):
quiet because they've been shell shocked by how many different
kind of things the government's trying to do. But they
will get organized and there'll be a head of esteem.
And I think Shane Jones has got himself a real
fight on this stuff. Yes, I mean luck Lucksin's not popular,
you know, there's not He hasn't he hasn't got much,
he hasn't got much social capital. They can do He's

(01:34:55):
not like Keysy. They can do all sorts of things,
but didn't I mean, Luxeon can't do much because no
one much likes him.

Speaker 5 (01:35:01):
Well, let's just keep the careful eye on all on
all these developments.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Please, thank you, Micheah, Okay, nice to hear from you.
And the all black collar, Gus, it's Marcus. Good evening, Hi,
guess yeah, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:35:18):
Yeah, thank you. Just a quick question. How much was
the all black jersey that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
You oh, look, I think I think it was one fifty,
but it was either ninety five or one fifty I
don't actually know.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:35:33):
Yeah, it's a lot of money for something so awful. Yeah,
good luck selling that for something I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
I mean, I guess the way I went to look
at it because they said on the player's jersey the
collar was actually sew and down to the jersey so
other players couldn't pull it it, Okay, But then the
one in the shop, that's where I went to look at,
and the collar, the collar was very kind of free flowing.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:36:00):
Well, when you said before good luck to you're me
wearing it down the street, you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
Know, well I mean that. Yeah, I mean there are
dark jerseys, and I mean the thing about sports jerseys
and people real quick to comment when the ones know, God,
I mean, they become a jersey of ridicule.

Speaker 25 (01:36:18):
Well that's right. Yeah, I'll be very curious to see
how long it's out for. I think it's the whole season,
isn't it. But I'll be keen on to see their
sales at the end of the season to see who's
brought into it, because I can't imagine many.

Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
The last jersey seemed to be around for quite a while,
the one that seems to be the one that you know,
that dark black one, black on black with a black
kind of collar. That seemed to be quite a good
jersey and I saw a lot of people wearing it.

Speaker 25 (01:36:45):
Yeah, well that's New Zealand at tire. Really isn't that
black or gray? So yeah, I'm sure it went well,
but I can't see much hope for this one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
It's kind of it's kind of weird because what with
the rugby jersey, the all black jersey, it's such a
tight fitting jersey that most middle aged key wemen and
it looks terrible because it's it's too fitting for them
and you just see this massive stomach.

Speaker 25 (01:37:12):
It just rides on up.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Yeah, it's a terrible item to wear.

Speaker 25 (01:37:17):
That's not for me, that's for sure. No thanks thanks
for your sign mark.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
Yeah no, no, no doubt having fifty bucks apparently for
the replica jersey. There you go to you go, Almost
time for me to go. I enjoyed the discussion, although
I'm I enjoyed. Hope we don't have the other discussion
another fifty years. I guess people just missed the point.
But that's fine. I guess we've got to appreciates people's
ability to miss the point. I enjoyed the parents of

(01:37:48):
young women that rang up and their views. But anyway,
but well, it's amazing that people you have a discussion
about something and fairy reasonable and you can take the view, well,
no one should be telling other people what to wear,
and suddenly people will attack the person and say, oh,

(01:38:08):
well you know you're this, you're that. It's because that
you're a pervert, I mean, cheapest creepers. That's why people
want to leave the country, because people have become so
just attack the person so nasty. I don't quite know
what drives it, and I guess it's feelings of being

(01:38:31):
washed up. I suppose washed up and washed over and
trying to be relevant and shock. But anyway, I'm not
quite sure what else I can say about that. I
suppose you want to be weary about starting devisive things
in this country. In going out to divide, we probably

(01:38:52):
should find the things that people are united about. It
might be a better way to go about the world.
