Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Eight poh seven, good greetings and even one of them
as Marcus head on midnight Tonight, the men's trathlon will
begin in three quarters of an hour. I'll probably bring
you the start and the transitions because because last time
Hayden Wild I think missed out on the gold. This
was the comms because he had none smooth transition, left

(00:34):
his helmet on or something the lid was on too
long or something like that. Anyway, Hayden Wild and who's
the other guy, McCulloch, is it Dylan. They'll be starting
at eight forty five, swimming in the Seine, cycling around
the City of Love, then running up and down the boulevards.
The boulevards have broken dreams. So that's all happening tonight.
How's it all going with you? With the Olympics. People

(00:55):
who thought that three a side basketball was Olympic sport
surprised to see that. I thought it was quite good.
I watched the sevens last night and then I watched
the final later on. I'm very excited about that. I
thought that was great. You don't want to appear over

(01:16):
confident to do you those Aussies. The Aussie woman didn't
do well, kind of complacent against Canada. I think some
Ozy woman's getting a bit of fleck because you complained
about a beard. That's never good an issue of one
and afterwards you do. But if you've lost that, you
wouldn't complain about anything, if you wouldn't say little. If

(01:38):
you lose, say less. Greetings, Welcome Marcus till twelve boom
mixed bag tonight. Who doesn't like a mixed bag on
a Wednesday? It is a mixed bag. Though I can
guarantee you that some things I need to tell you
about to meet your wite shower tonight. If anyone's all
tell us scopy, let us know about that. When do
you look? I love in Tony's bullet and they always

(02:01):
say to be patient because nothing quite is boring has
been out the dark and the cold trenna. Look for
something in the sky never works out. You better watching
on the indent later on. But I'll bring all the
details for that. Also, the other thing I'm interested in
tonight from you is that you get out and try

(02:22):
one of those award winning pies rang you're on the
South Island all out to the North Island. Did you get
a winning pie? What was it like? Because you know
my version's on pies, don't you. I think the sausage
roll is underrated and the Cornish pie very underrated. Now
there was somewhere recently there was good Cornish pies, Cornish

(02:46):
pest is Where was I was loot woe mad? There
was somewhere. Some are a bit festivally. I can't think
where it was now, what I mean summer in the
summer break anyway, So yeah, greetings and welcome. I'll be
here at twelve o'clock. We will be having updates every

(03:07):
half hour. There's the Kiwi woman now Thorpe. She's got
quite a bad scar on her elbow. I think she
came off the bike. She's been interviewed now Ainsley thought,
but it looks like she's quite scarred. I just saw
the camera angle. It's a bit lower now, but yeah,
it look like she come off the bike. But they
weren't anywhere near the front. They're in the thirties. The

(03:28):
New Zealand women that came through, they've got a good
smile and looked like they're shooting interview with her, but
she's looking straight into the sun. Anyway. Greetings and welcome
Marcus till twelve. If you've got the information about the meteorites,
let us know. And also too about the pis. Did
you try one of the awardening pies tonight? I'd be

(03:49):
curious to know more about that. There's other stuff we
need to talk about tonight as well, So just chucking
it all out there in the beginning. And if you
have got breaking news where you, I think probably the
mountain passes are closed will be closed tonight, Porters and
the Lewis, so I'll keep you updated about that throughout
the course of the evening. Also freezing down south, freezing.

(04:18):
So what we've got tonight. We've got the men's triathlon
eight forty five. It looks like we're gonna win. We'll
be all over it. We've got eight to forty five.
We've got the semifinals for the men's rowing Philip Wilson,
Dan Williamson, men's peer semifinals. We've got the women's lightweight

(04:44):
double skulls semifinal. We've got some sailing at ten fifteen.
That's the women's forty nine if X race. Joe La
and Molly meach let me have look at this woman's
injury again. If the camera pans down, I don't think
we're going to see it again. And seven o'clo in
the morning, we've got football, the Women's New Zealand versus France.

(05:12):
I don't know that we'll win that, but I'm saying
that hopefully because all jinx us. Anyway, greetings and welcome.
My name is Marcus. How you're going if you want
to start the whole ball rolling tonight? Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two to text,
looking forward to what you want to chuck into the
mix tonight. We've got a bit some bob some stuff

(05:33):
to kind of iron out for the other couple of nights,
and probably some new chopic topics to chuck into the
mix there. Also, I will bring you the breaking news
throughout the course of the evening. Also, most of it's
probably going to be sport. That would be my intonation
about tonight, if that's the right word. But do get

(05:55):
in touched you on and start the whole ball rolling.
We'll start off always as you've got anything you want
to say about the Olympics. I thought the women that
won the gold medal behaved with suitable excitement and passion.
I thought they did very very well. I didn't see
them actually getting the middle but everything else. Saw them
celebrate on the buses. They look I mean, it's nice

(06:16):
when people win something. It looks like it means something
to them. A lot of them have been on the
podium before. But I thought you're good on them. Didn't
see any sort of bad sportsmanship or anything like that.
I think you've got a bit of a boost about that, Marcus.
A lot of people would have bought those pies for
breakfast this morning. It lends itself to a discussion about

(06:36):
the value of a pie as a feasible breakfast option.
I'm a fan. No time's a bad time for a pie. Really.
I'll tell you what the pie people are up against.
What the pie people are up against is the information
that every pie has a golf ball of fat in it.
And I can't quite work out how to get over that.

(06:57):
I don't know if it's true or it's not, but
you can almost picture every time you think of a pie,
you can almost picture chewing your way through a golf
ball of fat, and you think, well, actually know thanks.
I never know if it's been pair reviewed or not.
I should go to Snopes, but that's what they're up again.
It's all the pastry full of butter. But yeah, I'd

(07:18):
have a pie once twice a year. We had a
couple of pies in the holidays. One it sang Is
Free Salty and one at the White Pyata Pub. Giant
kids were beside themselves being inside the pub. Couldn't believe it.
Quite a good pub actually for sale. Most of them
are these days, aren't they who'd want to own a pub.

(07:41):
I've thought a lot about owning a pub. I reckon
and the evenings'd be all right, but there'd be a
time when you open up for about ten in the morning,
for eleven to about two in the afternoon, we'd be
stuck talking to the same four people day after day.
And I can't imagine the conversations would be that good.
I might be wrong about that. Yeah, So some pies

(08:06):
have nineteen point two percent fat. That's a fifth. It's
more than a golf ball. That's probably about a golf ball. Mmmmmm.
David at David at s Marcus greeting and good evening.
Welcome David, are you make good the chest back at you.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
No, I just want to mention, but I'm and Robinson
their trapshooter. Sure, I'm a trapshooder myself and I know Ian,
but to miss out on getting into the shootouf of
the final by one target, like he shot one twenty
one out of one twenty five and on the last

(08:52):
day he shot the fifty straight and there's only two
others did that, but unfortunately they were the two others
that he didn't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
But anyway, No, so David, David, he was four on
his first outings and got all the other and still
got twenty one out of twenty five. Is that right
that all the others were were twenty five out of
twenty five?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
No, he shot on the first day when twenty three,
twenty five, twenty three, and then on the second day,
the last day, he went twenty five to twenty five
and the cut and if he've gone if one of
those twenty threes had turned into a twenty four, he
would have been in it. And I just hats off

(09:33):
to him and he's done it, you know, I'm just
so proud of him. And he come out of the
eleventh in the Olympics. You know, I'm saying well done
and good on him. I just wanted to put that
out there.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I just want to find some questions at you day
because I didn't se anything on the TV. This is
the new version of clay pigeon shooting, is it?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
No, it's been around for years.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
So what you tell me about it, because we don't
understand it was not covered? Tell me what it is?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Well, I don't want there for Olympic trench is you
go to your local gun club. Your targets go forty
four to forty five meters and they're out the thirty
five degree angles.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
With Olympics, the targets fly out of a machine like
clay pigeon shooting. Is that right?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
This is what it is, but a lomp of trench.
They go basically twice as fast. They've gone out to
seventy seven to eighty meters, the angles are up to
forty five degrees and how else can I put it?

Speaker 5 (10:42):
It's just.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's not computerized. It's real targets. You're shooting right.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Oh yeah, you're shooting at clay targets. But the program
you get everybody, so you've you've got five shooters in
the round, a full squad of six and you've got
five stations, right, everybody will get two left handers and

(11:11):
two right handers and one straight away on every station.
So that makes up a twenty five if you don't
know what order you're going to get them in.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
And but he he done like fantastically well like. And
the thing is those he's been in World Cups, and
those guys that were in front of them, he's beaten
him before.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
But he So what sort of firearms are you eveing?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
A twelve gay shot.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
And you got have you gotten two shots? Have you
got two shots in there?

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (11:47):
And in the final you've only got one shot?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Okay, Yeah, but.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I've quite a plague and New Zealand then's the CTA
forget and Chloe tippleshoe shooting skeet, which is another completely
different discipline and I don't do all that, so I'm
not going to talk about that.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, now I'm I'm seeing some of the websites about
So for him to get twenty three out of twenty
five twice on the first day, is that nerves that
someone's take a while to get your eye? I know
what's that about?

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, he shot it his dead on record and fell
for about five years ago. He went twenty three and
then shot twenty five, twenty five, twenty five, twenty five,
shot one twenty three out of one twenty five. But look,
I don't know. I haven't seen it on the tally.
I don't know what the weather conditions were light. There

(12:42):
could have been bad light or anything. But I just
one hundred turn round mainly on the on on the
last fifty and he shot then clean. He gave himself
every chance of getting in the final. And that's what
you call shooting under pressure. And I think he handled
it well, and I just I'm just think he's done

(13:02):
fantastically well. Each come eleventh and elements at the Olympics
is a lot better than a lot of other teams
have done here at the moment, sir brilliant.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Good on you don'et better the triathlones they're in their thirties.
Good on you there, David. I think we got there
in the end with the explanation. But thank you Marcus
on your truck. Rather than it's forty five piles a week,
he's still alive, Marcus. What the South Island pie makers
are up against is the awards are always in the
North Island. Pies don't travel that well, so the range

(13:33):
or a pie must be great. Marcus Chepwe has a
still at Lincoln Markets under Stade ourselves the most amazing
and lovely Cornish beasties English are now a good one
and it's an excellent Polly Gos. Christian's becoming a bit
of a food destination, isn't it pie for breakfast? Why

(13:54):
not bacon egg pie? Always good? Was that not in
the awards? The French of mister trick with these games too,
because I've been watching some of the Olympic moments. Thought
the one with Daniel Loader was excellent. And there's one
also with Hamish the triathlete from the old days. And
what happened when he won it is that they had

(14:14):
like forget what year it was, but they gave them
all a like a wreath to wear a very smart
Hamish car to remember that when he won the trithlon
and they put them in a wreath, they looked like
Julius Caesar. Nothing like this this time the French no flowers,

(14:35):
just the middle and a poster. I think the poster
was a mistake and I don't want to do with
it for the photos. So yeah, they missed a trick.
There should have been flowers or a wreath around your head.
Thought that looks quite smart by the way, too. Hamish
Wild and Dilnan McCulloch. They will be in the triathlon
that'll start at quarter to a quarter to nine. They'll
be swimming. I don't know if it's up or down

(14:56):
the sea, and might be both ways. So i'll bring
you that in the transitions for that also too. So
that's happening in about twenty minutes. In the meantime, we'll
just chew the fat till they We're talking eyes always
and the meteorite shower today, you got something to say
about that, they'd be nice to hear from you. Eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to two. Keep
those texts coming through. What I like about the US

(15:20):
winning the well, I liked about US winning the rugby
and the sevens. It's kind of the people's sport, isn't it.
You don't need your own boat, you don't need your
own horse. Sort of the most kind of straightforward and
eganitarian of the sports. That's what I thought good to
see Canada, America doing so well. It looks like I'm

(15:40):
over be quite exciting rather than ordinary. Just the same
three countries time and time again. I thought that was great.
So world on Canada seems like I didn't spy like
the soccer coach did. They didn't fly the drones over,
So well done them, Marcus. Best pie I've ever had
wasn't need In the late seventies, the pie was a
potato top bluffoys to pie with a white sauce. My

(16:02):
brother would eat four in one sitting. Wow. Yes, I
think now that the oysters about four dollars each. You
have an oyster pie would be about sixty dollars, although
people probably they wouldn't pay that for it now, don't they.
No one's got any money, Damien. It's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Welcome, Thank you, Marcus.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
How are you?

Speaker 9 (16:25):
Yeah? Good?

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Good? Oh god?

Speaker 8 (16:26):
Here good good Troe Pies. I live up and came
you and regularly travel around the sort of North Shore
and Rodney area, and I'm just wondering if you've got
the same down there. Have you ever driven past the
bakery that's not an award winning bakery?

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Are you saying they're all award winning there?

Speaker 8 (16:48):
Well, it's just about all the every week I sn
award winning bakery.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, and I think there's the real awards, and there's
also rogue awards. You can go on the intend and
get award.

Speaker 8 (17:00):
So I guess year, well, probably just for participating.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
A damien straightforward question to you, you had a bad pie, Chris.
There's no such thing as a bit, even one of
those ones in the celephane peck, you know, like a
big bean or something you'll get they're always good.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
Oh yeah, I agree. I'm a steak and mushroom guy,
and I get to find a bad one. I guess
the only one I probably would do my nose up
at is if it was a cold one. But I
pretty good really.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Because in the old days the surf pies cold that
cut them for you after clothes and eat them cold.
But the only thing I don't like. I don't like
a pie if the lid comes off or it's got
no structural integrity and it divides on you. You got mints
running down your arm when you're driving. I don't like that.

Speaker 8 (17:54):
Yeah, well, actually that's a good point.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
And actually one thing I have noticed for forever is.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
That the steak and mushroom, or the steak pie is
actually chunks of steak in the smaller you know, one
piece of steak with a whole lot of gravy.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh did you think it might be one piece of steak?

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Well, you know, one one chunk of steak.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we
might have our topic tonight. What makes a bad pie?
Because I'm with you, I can't think of anything like it.
I bought an apple pie the other day. I went
to a bakery and I had a hunger I couldn't name.
I don't like a sandwich. It's all wepped in cellophane
because because it all kind of squishes. So I got

(18:39):
myself a apple pie. But the pastry was quite sort
of a sweet short but he wasn't into it, A
bit of a sea anchor in the stomach, a piece
of vered with it, but I wish I hadn't. So
that was the only thing. So yeah, what makes a
bad pie? That's good question. Actually, the only thing that

(19:00):
has a bad pie if the lid. If it dileminates,
the lid comes off, or it splits in two, or
it's too hot. But if you hold them in one hand,
when you're driving. Don't have a problem with it. We'll
take the opening the start. I'll just do a bit
of a commentary for the start of the traytho. I'm
looking forward to that. That's a personal goal of mine,
and we'll do the transitions. You want to ruin your pie,

(19:22):
your pie, hate, your pet pie hate, thinking it doesn't
belong in a pie. I know when I was back
in the day, you'd more often than Nazie peas and
carrots and the mince pies. I thought that was a
good thing five a day. You don't see that so
much anymore. Apart from that, I don't really have a

(19:46):
problem with any of it. I think there was that
vegan pie that one of the at the Z gas
station that had ground up bird feathersn't it. I thought
that was a bit sketchy. I don't know if they
sorted that out or not, but you know, such seconds
a bad pie, that's my take. I was gonna say
something else earth shattering them, and I can't think what
it was. Yeah, Oh, you used to get there used

(20:12):
to be bitter pies at the supermarket, like big frozen
irvines pies and stuff like that. They're always quite good,
but they seem to disappeared now and it seems to
me the damn giant fridges at the super making for
the damn stupid pizzas that taste like cardboard. Marty Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, I'm Marcus. My pit pie peeve issues as around.

Speaker 10 (20:36):
A really really good pie.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's just too big, like some gor Mate pies. You
get that. They're like six or seven dollars, quite expensive,
but you can feed a family of foar and just
like big rectangle slabs. I don't know who's eating those
by themselves and not spoiling them everywhere.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
What brand are they? Where are you finding those? Marty? Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:59):
These are and my mate's place and Pataru Balla Pane bakery.
Very good, you're gotta make.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
With a bakery and you're begging his pies.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah that good if you take them home and feed
them out to four kids per pie. But if you're
going mountain biking, you're trying to get a quick pie.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
And you see, if you're going mountain, if you're going
with Marty, if you're going mountain biking.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Right, yeah, donut not a pie or.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Tramping you take a cornish pesty because it's the pastry is. Look. Honestly,
I took one up the Blue Mountains one time, a
couple of them, and it didn't it did not waver
as in the snow, as in the ice, and it
just had just and my whole time, I thought, I'm
glad I didn't buy a pie. You're enjoying the Olympics,

(21:49):
you see.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I watched the woman's triathline with the kids. It was
pretty exciting because they had to swim up, they swam downstream,
they had to swim upstream and I found the wrong spot.
They just don't go anywhere, or they go backwards to
the searching for a surging with deep water sow so
and so that was pretty tough. And and the cycling

(22:12):
and it just rained. So the whole all the streets
of Paris are a sloping slide. So every corner these
ladies are wiping up. It's all dry for the men.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Now, so they have are you are you having?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, I'm in the springers. Now there's a couple of
girls weaving up.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I can hear them moving up.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Marty.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Nice to hear from you. Your pie hates. What about
the pie woman? It's always got a little dish of
water in there. What's that about. I'll tell you what.
We get the pies from Copeland's for the kids after rugby.
They though those go good, cheap and cheerful. That's what
they want because freezing. You see. Of course he's in

(22:53):
the Southernmost rugby club and they go have a pie.
Twenty four. I'm just watching the triathlon. I'm looking at
the river now. He's good about Marty because in the
in the your shallow, but at the the current will
flow faster.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
I haven't thought much about that anyway, About nine minutes
away from the start, Ellen.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
Yeah, good mate. Now I hope hope be keeping warm
down there, Yes, very much, you are.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
Okay, Marcus.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
I would like to mention that pie which I really
think is not sold and marketed strong enough, and that
is the what's called a mutton pie. They are famous
in Palmerston, Otago and very very delectable. They really are nice.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Have you had one there or do you import them
to the North Island.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
I was bought up on myself Ireland and.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Know you're drifting north you look at you.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
I had to come up here in civilizedable eating natives. Mate.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Okay, where are you from? Are you from.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Where I was? I'm from Milton historically, but as a
child we lived up at Ethel, Northern Southland. Yeah, so
I was up there for you know, all of my
sort of schooling days.

Speaker 11 (24:27):
Where'd you go to school at Athel School? And the
pattern Soper family, we're all very very prominent. One of
my best friends still work in the area and that's
Sam Soper or Winston.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
There was a rugby team in the whole There was
one team that was entirely Sopers. I think they played
the boys.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah, absolutely was a very very good and I'll tell
you what I reckon. At the end of the race
or at the end of the game, they probably fed
themselves on Palmerston pie.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Nice to know. I think there was a a Toda
Mutton pie won an award too, So I'll get onto
that pies. Jamie, Hey, mater, there you're going good, Jamie.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
Uh you know what makes a bad pie? Australians for
the I don't know why, but you go into a
bakery and you want a steak and cheese, and you've
got to get a steak, bacon and cheese. I know
the difference between. Yeah, they don't know the difference between

(25:38):
mint and steak. You order a steak, bacon and cheese,
expecting steak, but you're hitting like just mint. But now
you've got to order a chunky steak pie and then
you get bits of steak in it.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
I think for a long time, all the pies, I
think the long time all the pies were kangaroo meet
out of the Northern Territory avertwise, what some of them.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
Do is they put the cheese on top of the
pie instead of putting it in it.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
You know that's that's that's wrong.

Speaker 10 (26:14):
Yeah, I know you're like, what's this country stuff? That's
my cheese in your boys sticking more tears than there's
no cheese in it.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
How many part are you doing the weekend? I was,
he Jamie, I don't do that.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
Many, maybe one or two. I've actually got a funny
story for you. When we first moved here, walked in
the bakery and I ordered bacon an egg pie and
I walk out. I took one bite of it and
it had mint, bacon and eggs and I looked at
that I'm working with, I said, and then baking and

(26:49):
the egg pie. He looks at me for strength fast
and goes mate and you should have got a kish.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Nice. So the swimmers and the men's treadling are lined
up on a temporary pontoon below one of the bre
It could it doesn't look like it's changed much since
I was the Paris of the nineties. But there we go.
I guess it doesn't with good planning laws. But anyway,
two of the kiwi's there, Hamish Wild and Dylan McCulloch.
They're all on the pontoon. I imagine they'll get underway

(27:21):
very much on time. So there's no other craft. They've
got one of those in the river. This is the
sky Ye from Great Britain. Of course I recognize him
for the past. I've seen him kind of on the
podium or thereabouts. But anyway, so two keys, I said,
Hamish Wild and Dylan mccullucht the Great Britain fan. Oh,
he's gon fed Ye from Great Britain giving the key
we go a bit of a special handshake, you know

(27:42):
it something around their ankles. I'm quite sure what that is. Anyway,
they go to the start line now to go just
on time, and I'll let you know what's happening. There's
about thirty people lined across the bridge looks a bit
oil stick and they're off into the water. Dive from
all of them over style. There they go, Boy, oh boys,
she's a washing machine. They've got one bridge about one
hundred meters away and it's a sprint for that, but

(28:04):
it's all pretty much in one line. There's two people
out the front that you could say fifty athletes in
the event that's a situation, or fifty six, and they're
heading now towards it. Twenty two seconds go on. It's
going to be impossible to tell who's in the lead.
But man, it almost feels like the river's not wide
enough hitting each other. You want to break three of

(28:27):
that get out of their wash. There's three people each
side on canoes that don't quite know what they're doing,
and there's one swim that's way to the left of
all the others. Individual I suppose must know something about
the currents would have been on the internet checking out
the data. But no one's really gone for gold away

(28:49):
ahead of every of them, all the others, but it
was just a minute gone. At the stage they're coming
to the next bridge, they'll go under that. There's one
guy going through one span. All the rest are going
through the other span. Not that guy knows, but he's
pulling away from them a little bit. This is the
guy ray on the way on the left. Good on them.
And unneath that bridge they go, and that's the start

(29:10):
of the triathlon. They will swim for about a while.
Then they'll come out and get on their bike because
I'll talk to you about the transition when they come
under their water. And look, we could do all right
in this. The women didn't do so good. One of
the thirties. One in the forties won by a women
from France. She looked ecstatic, big clip at the end.
She went good. The Swiss woman was second, I think,

(29:30):
so that was exciting. But anyway, that's what's happening. They'll
be wanting a pie after this. But they've both got
things around their ankles. Don't know if their track of
devices or what they are. Maybe they're E Coli detectors.
Pretty people lining the Seine River to watch it. But
tell you he's done very well. The French they've done

(29:51):
well in these events have and they won the triathlon,
won the women's mountain biking second and the men's mountain biking,
doing very very well. Anyway, there's just an aerial drone
shot on the traithl at the stage looks like in
the front ten. I can't see the Kiwi colors, the
Kiwi blacks. I don't know how where we're going. They've

(30:12):
swum up stream and they've turned around. Now they're swimming
down stream. But it's hard to work out who's in
the lead. And they haven't flashed something up on the
screen to let us know about that yet. So I'll
keep you updated.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
People.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
It's nine from nine. My name is Marcus. What makes
a bad pie? That's what we're on about tonight. I've
talked about the best pies. What's the terrible ones? I
guess probably most of them if they ingredients are too runny. Deed,

(30:51):
someone said bit to support he didn't put up the
caller who just said he'd moved up north to civilize
the natives. Even if it was a joke, it's still racist.
I wasn't quite sure what he was on about, to
be honest, I did to kind of think about that,
but fear cool. Yeah, I don't quite sure what he
was on about there, but thank you, Marc. Is a

(31:16):
bad pie is when you get a tied chicken pie
and the chicken inside is medium reat thanks Pete. Oh,
by the way, the rowers haven't done very well. They've
finished fourth. They won't row for a medal, Oh godness,
for goodness sake, that's Philip Wilson and Dan Williamsonson. They
haven't managed to crack it with they far behind Dan.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
We know.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Half a second, so just one, two, three went through
right and the fourth didn't. Oh, for goodness sake, that's
where we get our medals. Romania, Great Britain Island. Oh well,
I'm sure they did their best. Mince and cheese is
my favor. I have a very specific pige and technique.
Take the lid off, eat the mince and cheese with

(32:01):
a teaspoon, squeeze a heap of tomato sauce onto the plate,
and dip the lid into the sauce and eat. Then
do the same with the bottom. I'm a big fan
of taking the lid off and then putting sauce in.
But once in a while it's good to eat a
pie with a knife and fork. Tastes different, taste better,
well not not better, but different. Soggy bottom and a

(32:22):
pie is the worst offense in pie craft. I agree,
but thank you, Marcus. Always amazed to be the many
of the pie of the years have been won by
bakeries owned by Asian odors who you suspect have never
seen a pie in their past. Vietnamese, Well, of course Vietnam.

(32:43):
I mean Sogon, Paris of the South. I mean they
had a huge baking tradition, the Paris of the South.
I'm sure that's where lot of them got their skills from.
So you'd be careful what you want to say there,
I would think. But thanks anyway. Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten. I've just wonted for these swimmers to finish
the swimming sex of the trough, and i' let you

(33:03):
know how they are doing up and down the river.
The sen today delayed because of the pollution in the river,
but the rain stopped and they got the e coal
lie down. Number thirty three is going for it. I
think there might be that guy that I said, the
great Britain guy. I got a free uneven stroke, but

(33:24):
I'm not complaining. I mean he's in the lead punching
it through. So it's been eight minutes thirty nine in
the water. Oh no, South African, I look at the colors.
So South African is leading. Then this looks like there's
a nause next to them looking at their colors with
the green and gold, and there may be a Swiss
or a French behind that. So that's the way. Hamish

(33:46):
Wild and Dylan McCulloch are the two kiwis. So get
in touch. My name's Marcus. Welcome. What doesn't belong in
a pie? Actually, don't see the baker. I think the
bacon egg pie might be on the way out because
it was that egg shortage, wasn't there. Basically, when it

(34:10):
comes to pies, you remember finally what they had in
the tuck shop, which was bacon and egg pie and
those apple pies which were delicious. Is this Are they
coming out of the water now?

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Down?

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Is it the transition?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Into the first lap? I'll go be here for weeks.
Someone's just about to swim into the back of one
of the boats. Okay, get along in a fair clip.
Don't they a lot of floating things in the water,
like floating orange tubes to guide them. It's Marcus Sarah
greeting to welcome in good evening.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
I just wanted to put put in a good word
for the Fat Bastard pies, the absolutely delicious.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Did they go in the competition?

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Well, I was looking for them, actually, and I couldn't
see them because I think they, Oh they're amazing their pies.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
They're doing a pie subscription, set them around the country.
But I didn't see. I think the furthest South pie
was the a toade of But then I didn't see
the Sanger's pie from Cromwell. I didn't see the old
white Piata pie either.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
No, the Singers is also pretty tasty.

Speaker 12 (35:15):
But yeah, that's nice too. But I do think the
fat bar supplies of us, Oh, they take a bit
of beating, to be honest.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Good on you, Sarah, thank you. I think it might
be all to do with it with bakeels. I think
you've got to sort of into the pie. You might
have to use their pastry or their ingredients or yes,
I don't know too much about that. The athletes are
out of the drink. They're transitioning. The first of them
are transitioning now. Dylan McCulloch fifteenth, Hayden Wild twenty ninth.

(35:48):
That's the situation. The Italian is leading. Crociani had to
come up thirty six steps Stone steps. There's the key
we now transitioning. That's Wild on the bar your bike
go for gold and they're on the cobbles now, so
is a good cyclist wild. So I'll keep you informed
about that. The road's much dry are now was wet
for the women. Now it's rather off at a rate

(36:11):
of knots. So there we go. We talk you about
what you hate in a pie, pet pie hates. I
mean sometimes you get the Guessie lad at night and
they got that cellar phane and it's, oh, been there
three or four day, you know what, The thing is
still delicious. Often you find that no matter what. But

(36:32):
why can't you get those good irvines ones? They said,
a good one and that sort of an aluminium like
an aluminum to beautiful. Take it home and you go
into the oven. Forty five minutes out it comes all
too much pizzas in the freezer at the supermarket. Endless
pizzas can't be good for people. Heat them up, taste

(36:53):
like cardboard anyway markets markets, good evening, welcome.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
You know, Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 3 (37:00):
God?

Speaker 6 (37:03):
You guys, I'll I'll just turn into you guys. Have
you talked about the Jackson Buys and hawks Bay Hay stinks.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
No, But tell me about that.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
Well, I've been there just a couple of times. They've
got new ones now mushroom, bacon, treese and steak on
one and that's big.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
And mushrooms and cheese and steak.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Yeah, it's all on one. It's so nice, beautiful.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
It's a war.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
It's award winning pie to makers.

Speaker 12 (37:38):
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Because I know that because I used to follow the
pie awards quite religiously, because I go to them. And
hawks Bay did veryvery well for a long time. They
were like one of the leading lights of the pie.
It seemed to be toad on it and the hawks
Bay were the places. Is it called Jackson's Pies Jackson
Bakery Jackson Bakery?

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Okay, and their pie makers are big. That's yumas you get,
I mean you can get, you can get. I get
three and I can't even need three and a half. Yeah,
eighty three, let's out. Well, I was six dollars ninety
but I sort of had one for lunch, I had
one for up noon, I had one for tea. It

(38:19):
fills me.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, And what you said is steak and bacon and
cheese and.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
It's got mushroom, bacon, cheese and steak. But they all
come in different give Minton ing at Minton, cheese and bacon,
and you know there's there's all sorts, even Vinson even
whole there that even let's even better. Oh, there's all sorts.
It's just one of you Guys's wonder nobody's even talked

(38:46):
about them. The bakery, you see, it's the pies. You
get mappers and it's got down the bottom of award winning,
so you know the pie is going to be good.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
I'm looking at the front of the shop now thanks
to Google Maps. There, Mark, I'm on it.

Speaker 6 (39:03):
Yeah, have you Margas you're still there? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Is it in I have? Is it in Headlock North?
Oh no, okay, okay, I'm taking that pressure you. It
might be a branch there as well. I'll check it out. Mark,
thank you. There we go. I'm looking at the cathlat
de Caathlin. I'm looking at the triathlon. Looks like the

(39:31):
key Wes are moving up with the cycling, so I'm
just trying to get a vibe on it now. They're
not much things fleshing up on the screen telling us
where everyone is. You got something on your computer of yours.
Then that tells you where they all are. Dylan is eighteenth.
He's dropped back three cases. Eighteenth. Wild should be gaining

(39:54):
on them now. We're just waiting for Hayden to get
a little as little clicker past the magneto, past the
surveillance device. Remember there for a while with triathlonte those
long handlebars. Didn't they? Did they? I think they did.
Hayden's still twenty ninth, Dylan's eighteenth. You gotta can I

(40:18):
look at that? Is it gonna update them in real time?

Speaker 7 (40:20):
No?

Speaker 3 (40:20):
It's not, is it? Poor old Dan? He's doing a
million jobs tonight because he's all over getting our game
coverage as well. So Dan, if you've got a copy,
if you just bang me through any details you get,
and I'll just call it out when we see it, Okay,
if you get when you're not answering calls, vegans being
anything through for me, just even h H for Hayden

(40:41):
and D for Dylan. If you like, do you bringong me?

Speaker 12 (40:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (40:48):
No, I can, if I can update, if I can
call the shots, I'm updating myself, guys, So I'm a
self updated. What do I do?

Speaker 10 (40:58):
Do?

Speaker 3 (40:58):
I scroll down? Oh, I've got I'm watching it now
and that's live precking, is it? Wow? Look at that
Dylan mccalloch eighteenth, Hayden twenty ninth. And how do I refresh?
Do I just scroll up? And I just doesn't? Does
it automatically steep? It's what will they think of next?

(41:22):
Next thing? That'll be swimming in the river? Simon as Marcus,
Good evening.

Speaker 7 (41:26):
I'll tell you good Simon. Yea, the bowl that you
mentioned the album, the Bowl of Wolf from the Other
in the Warmer, Yeah, pie warmer. I think it stops
it from the piles from.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Drying out after how long?

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Oh, I don't know. Hey, it probably once it's sort
of warms up something I don't know.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Looks pretty old school though, doesn't it.

Speaker 7 (41:55):
Yeah, yeah, I think it is. Year it's it has
been real for all that sort of thing. And yeah,
I'll look in pies.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
If I was running a pie shop, I just have
the saucer free. I don't reckon. I don't like those
plastic sacheys. I'm not into those.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
Oh no, no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
You squeezing yourself in the eye or something, shooting yourself
in the eye, it's never good.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
No, no, exactly. Yeah. Oh look the pie is a
good steak and mushroom.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
You wonder when there seems to be a French thing
they're putting the mushroom in the pie, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (42:42):
Yeah, that's right, it is. Its nice combination.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
A you're nice to talk, Simon. Thank you. I'm calling
the athletes as I see them. If they go up
and down, I'll tell you. Dyna McCulloch nineteenth, Hayden Wild
twenty First they dropping Sundra at s Marks. Good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 12 (43:08):
Oh thank you, Marcus. Good evening. Grocery shop pies. You
can still get the uvine pies and the ships pick
that's smaller, but you can still put them in the
oven and heat them up that way if you like,

(43:29):
which is the way I like eating them up. Some
people put them in a microwave, and I dislike this.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
The microwave makes a pie quite soggy. I don't have
a microwave. Love for good bad things about But I
just like those ouvines ones that were size of a
dinner plate. But yeah, you can.

Speaker 12 (43:47):
Well, we get the Ponsonbee pie around. They're still around.
In the lovely time, I've got cheese mids and cheese,
and they've freeze as we speak, but I get them
weekly and just popper what we're.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
About that you get those from?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Sandra?

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Where's the supermarket for that goodness?

Speaker 12 (44:15):
And World New World as well in Auckland Hamilton?

Speaker 3 (44:22):
Oh wow, cheap as they got there?

Speaker 9 (44:24):
Now?

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Have they?

Speaker 3 (44:25):
You think of everything? Aren't they?

Speaker 12 (44:26):
Yes? Yes? So maybe ask if you like them? I
ask your grocery store if they can order them in.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Nice to hear from me, Sandra, thank you for e
very much. I don't like and I don't like a
pie without a top, and I don't really like a
seafood pie. Although on the rare occasions I've had a
seafood pie it's been delicious. I just don't think I
like the concept of it, so to go figure A

(44:57):
lot of the your reactions to pies are kind of
quite primal, aren't they like that white color? But they
taste beautiful? So what's that about? Marcus had it when
you're halfway through a pie, and during a pie and
strike a lump of gristle and feel like even end
up tossing the rest any pies totally ruin off headed
up in a microwave makes the pastry soggy. Good evening, Terry.

(45:20):
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (45:22):
Yeah, hi Marcus. Marcus. Years ago, I lived in Nowatana
during the in the sixties. We were going to the
need or in that used to stop off at rocks
for spies.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, and they still they still go really strong. I
see the van all the time. They're around the whole
region delivering. They're good value.

Speaker 9 (45:49):
Yeah, there were at the time. Here we're going to meet,
we're always stopped off in Roxbury.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I'm never quite sure while they ended up in Roxburgh,
but yeah, they go good. And I see they're on
the woods. They're going to Mention as well for the
commercial pie. So Jimmy's pie is pretty favorite, pretty pretty famous. Brodie,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 13 (46:09):
Day, Marcus. I won't hold you along, but I just
wanted to say a lot of people I agree around
the microwave making piles doggy. But one little tipp is
you put it in the microwave and then you chuck
in the air fryer after that, and it gets the
crisp back on the pie. That's a little like that
for you. How long in the micro oh, probably two

(46:30):
or three minutes I reckon.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Okay, yeah, how long? How long? The af.

Speaker 13 (46:35):
Depends on what sort of machine operating west That maybe
two to five minutes in there as well. But yeah
machine and see what you know works fit for you?

Speaker 3 (46:44):
But is it from frozen?

Speaker 7 (46:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (46:48):
Yeah, beats the process up and then the air fryer
just just tops it off nicely.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Wow wow, nice to hear from you, Brody. Thank you.
Always good to get a guy that's running a proper
kitchen with the micro and the air fryer. We're also
keeping that day with a triathlon tonight too. They're out
of the river on the bikes situation. Leo Bergerie from
France thirty eight twelve. They were down the list number eighteenth.

(47:15):
Dylan McCulloch thirty eight fifteen, so as you can see,
just three seconds in it. And Hayden Wild thirty eight
thirty six, he's eighteen seconds behind. He's in twenty third.
So it's how much longer they got a bike for there?

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Okay, how far they gone? You know? Do we know
where they are on the map? Bike lap three? Where
do you see that? I can't see that? Oh they're
updating that. Oh they're only a third of the way
through right, seventeen point seven? Is that right? See how
it says bike and it says fourteen point four to

(47:51):
five then seventeen point one. Why they're two different distances. Okay,
our fourteen point five to one. Four y five is
the market they've just passing to. Every one is the market. Okay.
So let's look at that Riddles in the lead on
forty three point thirteen and the Keywed Dylan is on

(48:14):
the Yeah, he's just five seconds behind the leader, and
Wild's still about oh he's yeah, still about twenty seconds
behind that.

Speaker 9 (48:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Tell you what the most short of information of this
modern world is there? Goodness me, if your lapped, you
get removed. And the guy from Togo, oh what a shame?
I mean, good, I own, but you wouldn't think you'd
kick him out. Goodness gracious, gone all that way and
just they've hopped him. I'll tell you who's next to go?

(48:50):
Someone from Mauritius. Well that's heartbreaking that once you get leapt,
you're out. It's like the Hunger Games. Just to have
been leapt so far. But we're talking pies. Are the
things you don't like in a pie?

Speaker 10 (49:04):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (49:04):
I've better tell you what's happening else around the world. Also,
because we are quite Olympic focused, I did see someone
say that there was a Wallaby report also, so I
look into that now and pook a call. Here a
woman was trespassed and police were called after taking your
own food into a movie. I always taught you to

(49:27):
take your own food into a movie, providing it didn't
smell too bad. Someone's called it. On TikTok. Footage shows
a staff member asking the customer had children with them
to leave, let's call the police. The employers who'd saying
take out their phone and saying the extras because the
patrons are broken the rule for food. A child is

(49:49):
crying off camera. An off camera voice can be heard
commenting on the employees race. Well, this doesn't appear to
be good employee. So this is a video that was
posted on TikTok last Star. It's received one hundred and
twenty seven hundred tweenys thousand views. So there you go.

(50:11):
I thought you could take food in. So it's a
very long article or a piece of escalated It does
sound the article and it has a use in its
standard policy for cinemas to prohibit outside food. No outside
food or drinks allowed. Apparently food sales are critical to
them making the money. And even on the stuff website

(50:34):
they've got your own poll. Have you ever brought outside
food into a cinema to eat during a movie? Well,
yes I have, and I'll do it again. There's never
anyone in the in vocable theaters. You don't even see
the projections or anyone. Just buy tickets and you go,
and the whole kind of theater smells of the food caught. Anyway,

(50:54):
these days, someone wants to know why the power is
out in Mosbourn. I haven't got any information about that.
I can't work out what that would be. I measure
it's cold that you want the power too? Have you
paid the bill? Even got information on that?

Speaker 10 (51:09):
Have you?

Speaker 9 (51:10):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Mosburn? Oh did you find that website?

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
You will have as a delta power it that'll be it.
So Mosburn person, Cause investigated back on eleven pm. What
does that mean? Cause investigated and they know it's back
on eleven pm. I don't know fully the details there.
It's an estimate of restoration time. So they're on to
it and it's back by eleven tonight. But that's an
hour of cold i'd go to the tavern. They've got

(51:42):
a good wood burner there probably Now they're in the
final lap of the triathlon, and boy, they're going hell
for leather on the cobbles. It seems as though certainly
one and I'm seeing two Kiwis. I think in that
front bunch. They came out of the water at fifteenth
and twenty ninth. They were a large number of seconds behind.

(52:05):
But they've caught all those up and now are in
the leading bunch in the cycling. So that's ecstatic that
they're there for that. So it's the information I've got
at the stage. So they're doing great. I'll tell you
the actual last information. I've got one oh seven fifty
six for the leader. The first Kiwi it's one oh

(52:28):
seven fifty six to one second behind, the second Kei
Wei another second behind, So very much the two Keywis
are in the front bunch. But there's a lot of
people in that front bunch. A lot of it will
come down to the transition, which is only moments away.
They're coming towards that before too long, so I might
be able to call that in before I go to
the break for the news. So that's exciting, so we

(52:51):
could well be in the medals or they're about did
they get they've swum for one point five k's in
the river, which, to be honest, it wasn't that spectacular.
The water looked brown. But I guess it's good for
the members of the Pace Paris. They can watch it.
Then they can wander to the side of the running
and the cycling and watch it there. So that's the situation.

(53:14):
So it was exciting. In the triathline, the transition was exciting.
Hayden Wild is very much in the lead now with
the guy Ye, the great British runner that won the
gold at Tokyo. He's second within five meters and where
did you say the Dylan McCulloch was. He's back of it,
isn't he? So he's twenty ninth or twenty fifth. There
he's thirty six seconds behind the leading bunch. So Wild

(53:36):
looking very comfortable. In fact I'm no expert, but with
his arm style and the way he's running, looks more
comfortable than you. At the stage. This has got half
an hour to go. I will take the commentary. I
don't know whether it's that the commentary now or whether
you want the commentary. But if you want to get
near a TV, this looks like it quite be quite exciting.
We sit here in gold medal position. He's a wild

(54:00):
came out of the water twenty ninth and he got
to the transition and the several seconds behind the winner.
But the transition kind of can make up time could
all depends on where your bike has parked. But I reckon,
as I say, no expert, but you can look at
how comfortable they're running. It looks to me like Hayden
Wild is running with a more comfortable gait. I reckon,

(54:25):
he's struggling a bit, but that's us. That's the Olympics
for it. You know, you watch one of it, you've
come it's an expert anyway. That's what's happening at the
stage too. So yeah, Hayde and Wild, the key is
in gold medal position, and I reckon, they've got about
they've run two point five. They've won one lap of four,

(54:45):
so they've got seven and a half k's left to
run seven five seven fours. You'd be half an hour
more of running. So we'll go on with the talk back,
but I will certainly give you the last lap of
the full commentary. There's the New Zealand flag there, that's
someone out there with the it's not the New Zealand flag,
it's the silver fern with New Zealand written under it.
What's that about. You're looking good, looking real good? So yeah,

(55:09):
it could be exciting people. And they're all just riding
in a bunch for the cycling. But the field's now
very spread out. Now that a couple of French people
at the front too, they'll be get the ground support. Anyway,
we are talking about pies also, what makes a bad pie?
The worst thing in having a pie? So what we
are talking about tonight. And there's a huge story which

(55:30):
is quite complicated with a group of people and a
cor he that took food into the movies. That's all
gone viral. It's gone TikTok. But now the movie theaters
are saying where they make the money from the popcorn? Really,
you're doing it wrong, Marcus. Melted cheese doesn't have a
place in a pie, Marcus. The worst thing is when

(55:53):
the mince is pale and without much flavor. Do you
guys remember the fuss in Australia. He actually wild, looks
like he's struggling a bit. Now I'm looking at his
gate from above and his form's gone. He's become more
restricted in the legs. Well, that's heat exhausted. I don't know,

(56:13):
but it looks to me. I wouldn't be surprised if
the other guy catches up now. It might have gone
to it. That's my take. Might be wrong, might just
be downhill, Marcus. The Pie Awards should be done by
the judges doing a mystery shop instead of the baker's
sitting in a pile. Record would be a fair way
and would be more of a true reflection of the
pie rather than sending in a pie specially made. Jamie

(56:34):
from Warnaker, he what's interesting with the Pie Awards. I
have been to the judge and they judge them cold
and they had kind of quite I wonder why the
Gourmet pie won because they had kind of like said
Sarah Watt from Cassier and French Cafe. He was the
one of the top three judges. So yeah, they've got
some Freddy Gaurmet judges there also. But I'll tell you

(56:56):
what if he drove around the country eating pies the
whole way. Goodness be hard hard to take, Alie, wouldn't
it now this is the end of the second lap,
we'll get more of a time. So just for those
who just joined us, Hayden Wilde is leading the men's
triathlon out of the swim, twenty ninth in the bike

(57:16):
transition in the top ten to fifteen, couple of seconds behind.
I just finished the second lap, and I'll bring up
the times for you and tell you how much he
is leading by I can do that. We have the technology.
If he's got to click on my email, then I
got to click on and open my attachment again because
I keep losing it. So this is the situation. This
is a split, so I can give you. Now he's
come through the five k total time one hour twenty

(57:39):
eight to sixteen. He's now fifteen seconds ahead of alex
Ye fifteen seconds.

Speaker 14 (57:46):
It has been nothing short of sensational from Hayden Wilds.
But here's Alex She He certainly closed the gap. As
they make the one hundred and eighty return for home,
Alex He's left it to the final moments. We are
going to have a sprint finish here in Parish. Alex

(58:07):
is closing in on Hayden wild Alex Ye is within
meters now and alex Ye has timed it to absolute perfection.
Alex Ye overtakes Hayden Wild and is in the gold
medal position with the final bush towards the finish line

(58:28):
absolutely unbelievable. He turns for home, alex Ye, that is
simply sensational. Weeds off our cap to you here in
New Zealands. It is heartbreaking for Hayden Wild. But alex
Ye has left it to about two hundred three hundred

(58:51):
meters to go on the final turn to win gold
in the men's triathlon, an Olympic record time beating out
Hayden Wild.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
So Steve Hayden Wild has got the second year. He's
on the ground, he's come down. Wild's on the ground
talking to him. The French guy's got thirty's ecstatic. That
was heartbreaking for that guy to be taken like fifty
meters from the end. They're both spent, but there we go. Jeepist, creepers.
French guy's graces Portuguese coming fifth and six. What a

(59:25):
Hayden Wild's got his hand around the great British guy
and everyone's on the ground everywhere. Must be hot there too,
or the e coli is kicked in now the guy's
coming out with the water bottles giving that to them.
It's also so wild. Just crouched Ora on his knees,
head forward. Absolutely. I mean he's not getting medical aid,
but they both look like they're just completely someone's handing

(59:47):
them water, but they can't move, just crawling anyway. So
just to confirm New Zealand silver in the triathlon, the
one guy coming there was just throw it up straight away. Jeeps, creepers.
She's not for the faint hearted anyway. We're talking pies.
Anything else you want to mention the final flurry, get

(01:00:08):
in touch, Marcus till twelve. Welcome Marcus. British team went
out of it hard at the start of the run
wild and a great weather, looking good, but a long
way to go. Oh that's right, No, you've got that.
So that was before he lost Marcus Envy Kaitaki's on
its way to Singapore dry dock back sixth October. Didn't
realize that. Thanks for the information, Unlucky on the triathlon, Key,

(01:00:32):
we had great sportsmanship at the end. Silver is still great.
He'sai for this guyd won or twice, defending champ and
gone back to back. I think Wild still young, I'm
not quite sure how old he is. You might be
a triathlon expert that can give us some insight into that.
I'd be interested to hear about that, if you've got
something to say about that. It's been a good Olympics
for the Britain with the gold and the men's mountain

(01:00:56):
biking as well. There was an exciting race to watch
and the river went well. Someone says you've got to
be joking to talk about grabbing defeat from the jewels
of victory. Well, yeah, I don't know what to say
about that, but you might want to comment anyway. Oh
eight hundred and eighty you tell your my name is

(01:01:17):
Marcus Head or twelve o'clock. That's a situation there. So
a silver for New Zealand, a gold today for the
women's sevens, and a silver for the men's triathlon. Marcus.
As regards to spies, I think the filling to pastry
ratio is important, and I'd go as far as saying
I'd sacrifice some filling for pastry if it's delicious. A

(01:01:41):
few years back on seven sharp TV, talk about Georgie
Pie side topic Spurs playing K League All Star team
eleven PM pretty excited great email, great update. Thank you
for that. You don't even know what the k league
is a Korean I'll be interesting if he wants to
talk about that, but you want to talk about the
running race. Also, be lovely to hear from you. I

(01:02:04):
always get sad when some of the let's go and
talk on that skype call that weren't their family there
there was one competitor from Switzerland. Gee, you just across
the board. You think you'd run up to see your
daughter's daughter compete. Find that quite heartbreaking. I don't know
if you guys are like that, but I think, well,
it's all right if you're on the other side of

(01:02:25):
the world. We're snuck and pulch small chocolate bars. But
this sounds like it was blatant KFC fest regards. Owen
take your own stacks as the best part, Marcus, there
must be they must be on some great money over
there to throw the race like that fifty meters out
and he just lets them overtake. Then they all shake

(01:02:47):
hands and the best friends at the end. Can't understand
why people hate professional wrestling for being fake when it
sets the standard for professional sport goodness. Marcus a technical
master class from the British traathlete Ye knowing to follow
a target and mow them down at the finish disappointing
for Hayden, while and certainly conditions on the day they

(01:03:08):
affected everybody. That must be the heat. Wild was a
champion five k runner converted to triathlon. He's a great
and strong runner, but him and Yee always fight it
out at the finish. Ye has got very good in
the run and the Olympic distance triathlon is a ten
k run. At the end of the day, Alex Ye

(01:03:30):
just is always timed, has run beautifully. To be able
to win in the final stage is still an incredible
performance from wild I can't wait until the team relay.
It's a mixed one. It's so good to watch and
I hope we can meddle in that. I'm excited for
the track and field. Can't wait to see Hobbs and
Hamish Kerr Kirsty. I've just been watching Hayden Wilde speak

(01:03:51):
to the Sky Commentatus, an incredibly gracious interview from him.
He stoked for his mate that Alex Ye that won.
He said both him and Alex have choked in big events,
so for them to both come down to those final
two people. He seem to have be incredibly gracious, loved it,
gave his parents and his father and a Christmas present
by showed them to see him race and parriss. They
hadn't seen him race before outside New Zealand, so certainly

(01:04:15):
wasn't in any way disappointed. Was actually, if anything, was
excited for his mate that won it. So lovely interview
from him, So yeah, he's he's gone great and looking
forward to the team's thing and conduct himself for every
well with that interview. So there you go. That's that.
So as far as the Olympics goes New said and

(01:04:35):
got silver in the triathlon. There is no yachting in Marseille.
The winds have dropped right down, so that's not happening.
They're just having the presentation now for the medals in
the women's triathling traathlon. They look good. They are smart,
the old kind of the assistant in their thorn pants
and their caps quite like that look. They're doing well

(01:04:58):
with that. So presume it's some upmarket designer has made
that one. But was just the medal ceremony now with
the Eiffel Tower looking tremendous in the BA background so
I won't bring the coverage for the new z Enda one,
but that will be after this. I would imagine with
hate and wild pipped for gold. But you conducted themselves
extremely well, Marcus. I take my own snacks to the

(01:05:19):
movie Red one in a small bottle with a cup
and some chopped up cheese. People thought I'd take chopped
up cheese, Marcus. The trathlone was very exciting and the
athletes fitness amazing. First time I've watched this event. A
silver well earned. It's interesting what you do to earn

(01:05:39):
some medals and some of the other ones. You've got
to fire some shots off on the pistol A what
are you gonna be the easiest medal to get? If
you could train for one medal, what would you go for.
That's when we can actually bring up all our wildly
inaccurate analysis of different sport. I reckon the hardest one

(01:06:01):
to get a meddle and be the gymnastics. The most effort,
be the marathon or the triathlon. The least effort. We're
going pistol sheting looks pretty laid back. I mean, you
don't do much. Do you control your breathing? Marcus? People

(01:06:23):
who expect only gold medals are selfish and narrow minded.
All the athletes do the best, that's the way they
are made, and those of us who watch are neither
good enough to or have no inclination to do that
to our bodies. You can only admire their commitment from
afar and congratulate their efforts. There you go. Someone says
easiest medal shooting. Wow, probably the hardest to be the

(01:06:48):
cathlon to train for, wouldn't it. You're go to all
sorts of things shooting easiest. They say, they're pretty foreboding,
some of those pistol shooters. Oh, by the way, they reckon.
The pool is slow. There's always fast pools and there's

(01:07:12):
slow pools, aren't there. They reckon it's because of the
depth of the pool that's slowing them down. They say,
Olympic swimming time only matters when you're in jail. Yeah,
it's a slow pool. It's been the dominant conversation topic

(01:07:34):
of conversation in the venue. It's two point one five
meters deep, which is deeper than the minimum sound of
two meters, So that's a situation. Those suggested the minimum
depth of two point five meters with three meters the

(01:07:54):
ideal measurement. The more show of the pool, the greater
the tubulence when swimmers make waves, the deeper the pool,
the calmer than water. They say. The pool is far
from calm. It's absurdly slow. It lacks depth, but it
also has strange levels. And when you have a shallow

(01:08:15):
pool with as many underwater cameras as we now have,
it doesn't settle the water. The official said. The waves
are near constant in the morning preliminaries, where there are
more heats stacked on top of each other. But even
at night the service is really calm. It's quite interesting,
isn't It doesn't settle Zero world records set. Maybe is

(01:08:41):
just gouse to got rid of the cheets. Through four
full days and fifteen events have been zero world records.
For a recent Olympic context, six world records fell in
Tokyo three years ago and eight in Rio. Even more recently,
ten world records were set or tied at the twenty
twenty three World champions Three of them are non Olympic
events that won't be contested in Paris. Marcus, the hippopotamus

(01:09:04):
can run faster than you swim fast, so the cycling
leg is your only chance of betting it in a trathlon, Marcus.
To me, what it transpired with a trathlon represents what
the Olympics are and should all be about. Two great
mates racing for golden embracing each other like brothers at
the end. Very charots of fire esque, Marcus thought. Both

(01:09:25):
KEI athletes spoke for you well after, humbled and proud
of each other, and they support teams. Made me feel
proud to be Kiwi. Such great characters, Marcus, I could
get behind a normal person's gymnastics event. Super proud of Hayden.
Gave it all to show that kind of sportsmanship with
outstanding He was in that front group the whole way,

(01:09:47):
but Hayden had to chase after the swim. Marcus, are
just me, But when have the women's swimmers, divers, beach
volleyball players and trathletes started wearing thong togs. I'm no prude,
but seeing their buttocks from back on just makes me
feel queasy. Surely they must be standard set by the
Olympic Committee. Kate, wonder why you feel queezed? Kate, Hello

(01:10:07):
Billet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
Hey Marcus, how are you just said? I'd sort of
do a bit of a push for the Coastcard big
swim that's been going on since the first of July.
There's about one thousand, two hundred odd people throughout the
country that are swimming and being sponsored to swim for
the Coastguard. I'm eighty two years old, and I decided

(01:10:35):
to sign up and I would swim twenty kilometers in
the month of July, and I thought I'd probably raise
three or four hundred bucks for them. However, I've only
been able to swim twenty three days because I've got
a bit crooked. But I actually swam thirty four kilometers
and raised two thousand, six hundred bucks for them doing that.

(01:10:59):
The last day was today, but the fundraising account will
still be open for August. If any already wanted to
make a donation, and I'll tell.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
You something, what are you What are they raising money for?

Speaker 5 (01:11:13):
It's for the Coast Guard itself, for income comes from
donations and sponsorship.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
I found the website. You were the eighth biggest fundraiser.

Speaker 5 (01:11:26):
Oh hell am, I I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Yeah, you might be able to get up there. You
only got to get to three thousand and eight, where
were a swimming bill. We're swimming at sea.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
And we've been swimming at oceans far in Napier. What's
that It's the main swimming pool up on the marine parade.
It's an outdoor pool.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
Oh, but it's not salty.

Speaker 5 (01:11:48):
It's salt and chlorine obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Yeah, okay, so it's seawater.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
Well, it's not seawater. It is actually mixed water and
it's got to have chlorine in it anyway. So but yeah,
I've been doing You know, I'm pretty wrapped about what
I've done to be honest for my age.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
So, oh, no, go you So how far did you?
How many? What was your target was?

Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
What my target was twenty kilometers for the month, and
I swam thirty four kilometers on twenty three days and
I had to give it away because I've got a cold.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Okay, So you've achieved seven hundred and forty four percent
of the three hundred and fifty goals, so you've almost
eight times there. Are they doing it next? Are they
doing it next year?

Speaker 5 (01:12:35):
I don't really know. It's the first time I've heard
about it. Michael. I got a sort of talk into
a Marcus rather, I got talked to the giving it
a try, so I thought, why.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Not brilliant core, Love you Bell, thank you so much
for that.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
That's Bell and that's all on the website. The Coastcard
Big Swim raising funds help save more lives on the water.
And he'll get something for that. If you raise a
thousand dollars, you get like a towel. Ordie good on.
There must be hard work doing farm raising time and
time again. They've got on them for something new and

(01:13:09):
exciting there. How you're going, people, what's happening? How good's
that silver? Ah Marcus? It's really hard to find a
good but reasonably priced heat at home pie. Now, it's
what I was saying. Irvine has gone and we're going downhill.
Prior to clothing anyway, had to buy a gourmet single
pie for six dollars. Now, might as well go to
the bakery. Yeah, it's a good point. It's a really

(01:13:32):
good point. But if you get to that public white Piata,
try their pies. Because that was pretty It took a
long time to come out. When were we there, like
middle of January. I had the kids, Well, I didn't
have the game. When I say I had the kids,
I said. What I mean is Vanessa wasn't there because
it's not like we're timeshare. So yeah, it was a

(01:13:59):
good deal. A white Piatre, famous town with the white
Piata sanatorium on the hill, the TV place for you
and Steven Spinhaller's time, and of course you have a
country pub now has no money in it, so you
could have an angle. And I think for a while
the rail trail was the angle, and now they've pivoted

(01:14:22):
to the pie. They're every good, very good. You're doing
the rail tradeer cheme across one of those, you'd be hippie.
Oh there you got away from twelve Final Stretch nel
Marcus Evening.

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
Hello, they're Marcus, oh Pols. Well with you, Mars. A
funny question. I've got two little things, but I'll be quick.
I know the ladies because through the way they're built
different to men and supposed to run us fast. But
I watched those sevens and when they get to gap,

(01:14:57):
those girls go like the wind. Is there anybody with
fancy technology can tell us how fast they're run?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Do you think hips they accelerate? Quaker?

Speaker 6 (01:15:09):
I think, yeah, I think that's so. But as I say,
I don't want to get like, what's that word sexist
or anything similar like that, But ladies are different, and
I didn't think they could run like that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
It's a pretty good sport. Well, of course, they weren't
there to play for a long time. But see, I
tell you what, they weren't shying from the huts either,
were they.

Speaker 6 (01:15:29):
No, No, I.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Enjoy I enjoyed it. I've sort of come late to seamons,
but I thought that both women's matches were excited. I'd
quite like the mitches to go on a bit longer,
because it always seems to be like you haven't really
got long enough for it. But yeah, I mean, I
guess they get they get tired, but yeah, like I'd
like to go for half an hour.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
Yeah, and I'll tell you what else I think. I mean,
I'm an old man marker, so you mustn't misunderstand me.
But after the game, I mean, the games are damned hard.
But after the game, they're feminine ladies. Yeah, you know

(01:16:09):
they're not. They're not like wolf ising like that I've
ever said. I'm really impressed.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Oh good, I'll go you.

Speaker 6 (01:16:21):
Yeah the next thing, Marcus, if I can, you might
be able to answer me yes, Oh no, and I
don't want to be greedy. Me and ma'am, well my
wife and I call her ma'am. We're very old and
we just get our soup pack, you see. And do
we benefit it all from the tax cuts? Markers?

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Okay, it's a really good question.

Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
Can you answer it?

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
I will. I think the answer is no, but fair enough.
Hang on next, Super get more money with cuts, yell
texts cuts. See that's a pretty slow Google.

Speaker 6 (01:17:18):
I don't even know what Google is.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
From thirty one July, change the personal text threshold means
some people get into Super Adventro's pission will get more
in their hand if they're on an M text code.

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
Do you know what M text code is?

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
I barely no where I believe it I'll live, so
maybe someone else will text me through just say some
people From thirty first changes the personal income text with
I mean some people getting used in Super and pension
will get more in the hands if they're on an

(01:17:58):
M text code. I don't know. I have to google
what M text code?

Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
Well, we've got absolutely nothing other than the super mind you.
I get a fair bit of man from England and
New Zealand tops up for me.

Speaker 10 (01:18:15):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
Oh you're still getting it from over there too.

Speaker 6 (01:18:19):
No, not too no, not as well. I get so
much from England, but it's not quite up to the
pension line. So New Zealand contributes a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
So I get how long you've been here?

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Oh fifteen? I trying to retired out with here.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
You know, well this year is from whereabouts in England?

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
They're from Yorkshire.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
Oh brilliant? Are your classic? Okay, I'll find out for it, Neil.
Someone might tix through, but thank you. No one named
text code. I think if you're a student loan which
he's got words and say they have a student loan.
Mm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That's it for me, Marcus. Supermarket pies are

(01:19:19):
good too. In a box Herbert Adams frozen pies, wine,
beef and pepper. I'd stay clear of the wine and
the cooking, but that does sound all right, WB Wine,
beef and pepper.

Speaker 10 (01:19:36):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
While they're singing before the water pilos, it's the middle
round on dressing gowns. Terrible looks, terrible back tomorrow, Well,
I George and I think it was about split having
the traathler. It was exciting to get the silver. I
think we're glad that we invested in that. In the UK,
