I do get calls from Masterton in the neighboring areas.

(01:31):
So if your own masters and let me know the
new frequency is working, maybe you can ring up next.
You could play both on FM and AM. Who could
hear the difference might be clearer because I presume we're

Olympics tonight obviously track and field one hundred meters, fifteen
hundred meters now the rapper charge, so we're all across that.
So we'll bring you that. That situation, when it happens,

it all to you. I can promise you that. So anyway, oh,

Teddy and nineteen nine two de text by names Marcus

(03:35):
Headle twelve get in touch. Peter Jackson might have been
listening with that sort of in his area, I think,
with the transmitter. But that's good news. So if you've
got breaking news where you are too, la us know
what that breaking news is. I'll do my damnes to
cover everything off tonight. Well cad of Friday but bits

(03:59):
and Bobby, but we'll do what we can. Marcus summon
masters and you are booming and got you five by
five Mike. Surely Blendhaim is the biggest town with no lights. Well,
I don't know if it is. What is it? Marston
was the biggest town with no lights. I think Blenham
might have lights. I think Blennham put traffic lights outside

(04:20):
the school. I'm pretty sure that happened. It was like
last year they put traffic lights outside the school.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Am I right?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Just one said, but get in touch oha E one
hundred eighty tenndy, my name is Marcus. Welcome. Let's try
google that up people. No, maybe that oh yes, NX Road.

(04:53):
Oh no, that's Blenham Road. No, maybe you're right, Maybe
has ben I've got traffic lights. I thought they had
them quite recently. Someone been to tell me that categoric
I can't find an article about it, but yeah, there
you go. That's an initial jam for us tonight. I

(05:16):
was almost sure that within the last couple of years
they put some traffic lights outside of school. These things
matter to me. No lights in blenh and Marcus. No
no lights in Blenham. That's from Chris. Oh well, what
about in Rolliston? Has Rolliston got traffic lights? What's the
smallest town with traffic lights? They'd be Queenstown, I guess

(05:36):
across that bridge. But yes, there's not much on my
mind tonight. If you've got anything to chipping about to
and I'd be great to hear from you. I hope
you're enjoying the Olympics. Got so much sport has even
started the good stuff. It's going to get every good
the next couple of days. There's all sort of events.
Have everything had a whisper of yet, which I can't
wait for. I can't remember what they will are, but

(05:57):
I'm excited. So yeah, anyway, get in touch. Thirty four?
What are the Olympic sports? Thirty four of them? I
saw the BMX racing that was all right, Golf, judo, tennis, weightlifting, athletics,
handball alright is more than that. It seems to be
forty six equordent. Oh some of the winter ones also, yep,

(06:23):
there you go canball, that's all right. After a while. No,
like the handball or the breakdancing, I'm looking forward to.
No sign of that yet. I think they could be
quite fun. I suppose you're doing it at the sand
under the Eiffel Tower or something. So I'm looking forward to.
In the sports climbing, I'm looking forward to very much.

(06:45):
They don't call it breakdance. They call it breaking or
the break. Probably in France French. Pete Marcus, hold your horses, Pete, Marcus,

I don't have to achieved them that pay six grant.
It's have to be a real good one for that price.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, that's been I've been courageous. I didn't want to
didn't want to insult your three grand.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
Yeah, I can't say too much, but.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Why would someone not be allowed to say how much
they paid for their car?

Speaker 10 (09:23):
Ah?

Speaker 7 (09:24):
Just I do sometimes the wheeling and dealing sort.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Of thing, you know, here we go, here we go,

Speaker 7 (09:31):
Yeah, that's right, but I just try to get just
try to get it. The if him on the radio,
that's okay. They both got an expander, and they don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't think it's called I think it's called a
band expander.

Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
What do you keep saying, you keep saying, you keep
saying expander?

Speaker 10 (09:47):

Speaker 7 (09:49):
Expander? I think they call him.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, bend expander. That's it.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
So it's no way around that, or can't get hold
of any of things. If your station on there anyway

On the FM.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Normally ninety six points.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Only you only go out to ninety.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah, So basically you're just gonna you're gonna put one
of those expanders.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Don't don't tell, don't tell someone that when you're selling it.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
I realized that. But it's just that, Yeah, it's funny,
it's got if it's got FM one on it FM two.
But I just can't to just go past the nine hundred.
That's all, and.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
There's nothing below. There's only eighty nine point two magic
oldies you can go and ninety point zero. That's that's
you're coming off tunak. There only two that below. Ninety
one's right on ninety one to eighty nine point two.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
What that is?

Speaker 7 (10:52):
What's the ST standing on the end of the seven
sixty and then the nine hundred? It's got the is
T stand for on the end of it, on the
end of what i'd say, you got seven sixty and
it's got ST.

Speaker 7 (11:31):
Yeah, all the way through, doesn't away? You go between
sixty seven, sixty and nine hundred, it always comes off.
Is T on the on the end of them?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Does it pop up on lights?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah yeah, send me a video, Pete. I don't even

that call. But I knows about bend expenders. For a
while in the japanports all come in Japanese imports. They
all only went up to ninety in eighty nine point four. Z.
He'd been orkand did well out of it, and I
think my FM did well out of it. It's T's

(12:06):
telling you it's in stereo. Get him back, Get him back?
Was he still there? Eh? Pretty be excited about that.
We should have come up with that. Just bang them

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, Marcus is T stereo?

Speaker 7 (12:35):
Oh stereo? Okay, thank you?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I think he ran out to his car. What's your
French fruit of choice? Sam A. Beget Ham and cheese
burget out of the Eiffel Tower. Brilliant. Marcus. Can you
get a tattle with the Olympic rings or do you
have to seek their written permission first? You're probably the
way the Olympics goes. You're probably gott to bribe them
with cash and services. Remember how corrupt it always was

(13:00):
to get the games. There was that guy begging on
about for years, writing different books about it, the Lord
of the Rings. Marcus, please advise if we can watch
the Warriors games on TV. The guy just say his
Olympics doesn't seem to be on any other channels. We
don't have Sky, Dan that you will watch? What is
that free?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Though?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Now they want it for free. We don't have Sky. No,
you can't watch it. But that might be a good
thing because this has been the paramount of eels. Could
be a banana split slips. Oh, there they are scoring.
Now one of us turn the TV on. They're scoring.
We'll lose to them and that that's it for me.

(13:41):
Just turn on the TV and then they are going
over touching down in the corner. Oh no, what's that
damn score? I see there were a try confirmed. Why
do you make me go for it. I've been on
four and L Paramount over the Warriors, Jack Targo, the scorer,
anything goes. You've got anything to say of interest? Oh,
eight hundred and eight. We'll have a lot of the

(14:01):
Olympics tonight. I'll tell you what's happening in the Olympics. Okay.
It's hard to be a talkback host because you're cutting,
you're cutting back and forward to games and stuff. It's
hard to concentrate. This day eighteen seventy world's first underground
where I opened, I'd say that was Baker Street, cut
and cover beat you. That's right. I think it's right, Hope,

(14:25):
it's right. So what we've got is tonight athletics. Sam
Tanner fifteen ten past nine, eight hundred freestyle. That's just
the heats. Go Erica Fairweather nine fifty Women's one, one
hundred round one. Zoey Hobbs Sugar be the first New

(14:49):
Zealander to get in the finals since Arthur Porrett and
the Great Chariots of Fire, which was one hundred years ago,
also in Paris, because they got the kickover from the
tramlines also, so that's where I'm interested. Fastest you see
a woman ever, we got rowing at ten twenty two.

(15:14):
Is at that consolation final. Dan, that's for gold lightweight
women's double skulls final. Kittle Cox, Jackie Kittle, shading Cox
that's ten twenty two with it other Dodgy. There's another
sort of a backup final. What I'm not into that.

(15:38):
We'll cover that. That's in half an hour. But my
name is Marcus. Welcome Marcus. The Warriors game is on
Sky open at two pm tomorrow for mesochists. If we
don't win this, this is just heartbreaking. Fancy being down already?
What a lot too long? I got right into the
season of the Warriors, but now I'm just so long.

(15:59):
It's about four weeks to go. Then you got the
whole final thing when that really complicated. But my name
is Marcus hitdl tweve o'clock. You got to be involved
with the show. That's what we're on about. I don't
even know what we're talking about tonight. I've got that
kind of feeling we just don't know what we're about.
But yeah, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine
to nine two de text Hit'll twelve looking forward to

(16:22):
what you want to talk about. It means you've got
any breaking news, let us know what they are. That
is always up for a discussion on the Olympics. I
don't think anyone else has kind of gone on the
back burner because of that. Ah, you get that vibe
because you go anywhere that's the discussion. Or how about
those Olympics? How about the cold? How about the Olympics. Yeah,

(16:46):
is someone that wants to get the road. A long
time roading campaigner and Kaimi resident. The MP's and Wiston
to be have plenty district councilors after serious question State
Hiway twenty one. He wants to fix the road. He's
got a whole lot of ideas to fix the road.
It's exciting. We've been talked about bad roads for a while.

(17:11):
Good luck with that. Should put in a tunnel? Have
we talked about a road tunnel through the Camos? That'd
be something some you might be into, isn't it be
the answer? I can confirm that Rolliston has got traffic lights.
I had to google that between Rolliston Drive and Kidman Street.

(17:33):
I can't quite work out where that is. I'm looking
on the Google maps. But anyone someone was asking about that,
which I'm quite excited about. So there are traffic lights
there because we're talking about masters and because Marston's now
go an FM frequency for the radio, which I'm very
excited about. So if you're across all of that or
of experience that, let us know they've just been switched on. Well,

(17:56):
it's just been switched on apparently, saying can let me
know how that's working out for you? I'm excited about
that that's happening. Oh, there they are. There's the traffic
lights in Rolliston, Rollison Tenniston Street. Massive. So there we go,
and we are looking at the biggest town without traffic lights,
which must still be blending them and not master them. Anyway,
Marster's going to brand your frequency. If you've tried that frequency,

(18:17):
how good is it? Marcus? Have you heard about a
new board game? Perhaps the next idea gift for Christmas?
In one hundred and forty five days? Shenanigans. Never heard
of it, Marcus, Porcanot has three sets of traffic lights. Wow,

(18:38):
I've never heard of Shenanigans. But I'll be buying that.
We're a big board game family. But I'll tell you what,
and of all the board games I love, my go
to ludo love ludo love the fact you can actually
do the block and stop everyone's game. Apparently Shananigans was

(19:03):
featuring on seven Sharps Night. I didn't see it. Bubb
me into that if it's any good, So there you go.
It's a board game. Shit, Nannigan's. See one other board game,
Chinese Checkers, just still score, just still call it that.
I saw a copy of Chinese Checkers in the second

(19:25):
hand show. Oh that's quite a good board game too.
Didn't bar because I don't know if it was complete.
Because what w'd be worse than a game of Chinese
check is without enough counters because it's quite Oh it's
a whole fund me, go fundme for shean Nnigan's. You
can't be fregod if they need to go fund me
off and think a lot of people think they've invented
good games. I invented the board game once, but actually

(19:45):
in the end I thought it was so slightly lame. Marcus.
I'll take the FM frequency over lack of traffic lights
and Marston any day, Marcus. Why can't northern businesses sue
the pylon people? I don't know. I've got no idea
about anything tonight, but you got anything you want to
go on about tonight, I'd love to hear from you.
As I say, I wait, I'm doing nine to detect

(20:08):
Marcus till midnight tonight. For those people in Dunedin, you'll
be pleased to know, right what's happened is they have
sold the rob Roy Dairy, but the new owners are
just as committed to big ice creams. Come, no, No,
don't know what the whole story is with the big
ice creams. Of course you think probably most people would

(20:29):
realize that the big ice cream is not a good thing.
But now I see they've released trumpets are twenty five
percent bigger. When did anyone ever think that a trumpet
wasn't big enough? And what's that about? Anyway? There is
a new dairy owner of the rob Roy. He says

(20:51):
she's going to keep everything exactly the same because it works.
It brings people into all The ice creams are huge,
big enough to keep a pan to beer happy. It's
a good thing to say. Down for an eeding. She's
bought it. Son decided to study dentistry. She's brought the
wrong Roy dairy. Goodness, there you go, who always kind

(21:14):
of had a secret passion for running a dairy. Couple
of things for me, I'd certainly have one of those,
the bing bong machine, I love those, Or then we're
a fish and chip shop thing. But I do like
the sound of that. But anyway, that's the key, the
old robber. I think it sells more ice creams than
the other dairy. But there you go. That's a situation.

(21:36):
The corner of George and Albany Street. Cent of it's
market a university students five hundred ice creams per day.
It's a lot, isn't it. In September twenty fifteen, the
dairy toplet's previous record by selling one two hundred and
nineteen ice creams in a day. Sixty four year old

(22:00):
who's selling it. She's owned the shop for seventeen years.
She had remixed emotions about selling, looking forward to a
lot more free time without ties to the shop. I
feel like I was permanently on call. But I'll miss it,
especially the social side of it. I'll have to develop
my social life from our atomic because I've had much
time to do anything else. I'm looking forward to having

(22:21):
a lot more free time. You wonder how her risters
wouldn't you doing a thousand ice creams to day, Liz
Watson to handle. Yep, she says, all that sugar basically
attracts everyone. I don't feel any guilt about that. Ironically,
I have dental students and dental staff coming in here

(22:43):
for ice creams. It's a great name for the dairy.
The rob Roy tell you what she looks good for
six looks. She looks like in her thirties. But she'll
be teaching the new person how to do the ice
cream and the new woman's already wearing the rob Roy hoodie.
Very famous dairy, the rob Roy deary. It's probably one
of the most famous dairies in New Zealand. That the

(23:06):
buzzy Bee is no longer a thing. And I don't
know if there is an ice cream scoop as a
ward trouble. What I find with ice creams right, here's
what I find with ice creams. You get them for
the kids. Most people are too generous. It's very hard
to get a small ice cream because the kids only
probably want half a scoop because it melts quite quickly,

(23:29):
and then you're fighting the cone and then gets soft
with the melted ice cream. Then you've got a battle
on your hands. Then the top will topple off, and
then that's kid chaos and kid carnage. You don't want
any part of that. You just want to Yeah, what's
better about FM stereo? Thanks? Good question, Sarah, stereo better

(23:53):
at night clearer? But if someone rang up from if
someone actually rings up from Masters and I can play
you the radio on AM and we can compare the difference.
More traffic lights now on the road from Napier to
Wide or than Roliston. Also hotels a cracker of a

(24:14):
board game? Marcus. What's KIT short for? Or is it
gender specific? I'm not referring to the night Rider TV?
What is KIT? I've never heard of it, Matthew Marcus. Welcome?

Speaker 11 (24:29):
Are you home?

Speaker 12 (24:29):
Marcus?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
A long time they're here, betcha.

Speaker 11 (24:34):
My moan is about the government. They need to buy
us some new feries because they keep breaking down.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
They need to just get the old contract back. It
was a fixed price the.

Speaker 11 (24:45):
Other apparently it was the finance minister. She actually does
know that we don't need them, but we do.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, well, she reckons there's going to get some new
ones in five years. These ones are good to go,
is it a Friday topic.

Speaker 10 (24:57):
They're the faeries, Matthew, Well, because I use them all
the time, and it's well when they keep breaking down,
we should just keep get them fixed problems.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Are you a truck driver?

Speaker 11 (25:10):
No, I used to be, but I go down on
car now.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Oh okay, but yeah, do you commute?

Speaker 11 (25:16):
Yeah, I commute it from north to south.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
You're up and down a lot. Maths mhm, yep, oh
you sketchy. Nice to hear twenty one to nine. Is
brain freeze really a thing? Yes, there is a reason
for brain freeze. It's from why do we read that recently?
Why we brain freeze?

Speaker 7 (25:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:37):
What's it about? It's about our prime ordial Now there's
some evolutionary reason why we brain freeze. I don't know
what the answer is, Marcus. To get rid of brain freeze,
you press your tongue up onto the mouth for half
a minute or so. What's interesting about brain freeze is
not everyone gets it. It's my understanding. It's kind of

(26:02):
one of those things like rolling your tongue that some
people get in some people can't don't get that's my understanding.
I'm prepared to be proven wrong. Of the population is
susceptible to it. So about sixty percent of the people
out there don't even know what brain freezes. Yeah, some

(26:26):
never get it. So but like cramp, it's excruciating when
you've got it, but you know that there's the great
joy of it going away. It's never permanent. I enjoy
those things. I love a good cramp. Then it's gone.
You bet to your normal life. How much fund is that?

(26:50):
I reckon a lot. I've got to turn the heat
pump down. Not looking good for the Warriors, by the way,
but they have scored, so it's looking slightly better because
the Eels, who they're playing second bottom in a terrible year.

(27:11):
Oh gosh, they've scored again. Paramouter eighteen worries for Marc
has just purchased a ninja cream It's been a week
of brain freeze. Gosh, there we go. What's a ninja creamy? Well,
there's two new things we can talk about. The ninja creamy,

(27:32):
which I've never heard about, but I think I can
understand what it's like. It must be like a ninja
but freezes it anything it said like, then you, oh wow,
look at that ninja creamy. Looks fantastic. Where did you
hear that advertised The other thing that I tried today

(27:53):
was a brand new peer. There's a brand new peer
that's been developed that's kind of orange, looks like an apple,
tastes like a pear most round. It's called the Peekaboo
p i q a b oo. Not bad, who doesn't

(28:17):
love on you? In fact, sometimes I wonder why pears
aren't more popular than apples. They're nicer and there is
versatile off and wonder. Yeah, I just want to think
Apple's everywhere, but not pears. What's that about? They're not
keep as well? The taste is better. Please discuss You're

(28:39):
not gonna be good. If the Warriors lose this, this
will be funereal. Oh, by the way, too, so I
was wrong about Martin Phillips's funeral. It's next Friday, so
I was ahead of myself by week. That's why the
live feed wouldn't it works. So thanks to the text
that came through about that. I do appreciate that. Someone
also wants to know how the rob Roy deary got
its name and don't know about that. Oh, Graham's you've
rung up to tell me that as well?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Have you?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Graham?

Speaker 4 (29:01):

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Fantastic yep.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
And I go back about fifty years to his high
school days at Logan Park. That's how we go back
into one of my best mates over there.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh look, I'm sorry to have heard that. And it's
just been amazing. It's been amazing all week listening to
people and singing the memories, but also seeing the people
on Facebook just posted the songs that he's done over
the years, and some of those songs I went so
familiar with just they've stood up so well, unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:45):
I went to a couple of music labs. Was him
at the Italian University just a few years ago, and
you know, I got to get some pre course of
some of his latest albums and he had two on
the Boy or Interested in Live long Enough. He was

(30:06):
very pretty old, just in the last few weeks and
he had three trip mudity trips to hospital. He was
on the way out, poor guy.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Were you a musician? Were you? Were you a musician yourself? Graham?

Speaker 8 (30:19):
Not really, I'm a late to be by more of
a vocalist than Yeah. I met Maddy and Boy Cobbot's
music shop when he was at high So we go
right back to the seventies, before the Chills even existed.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Because what was interesting in one of the in one
of those articles on Audio Culture Today, they were talking
about his early days and one of his classmates, Jane Dodd,
was talking about Bean and he went to a school
that was like a country model school that was in
George Street and there was like three or four classes
all combined together, like it was a model for a

(30:54):
school in a rural area. Do you don't anything about that.
I hadn't even heard about that before.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
I remember I like a park because it used to
be the Yami Rough Ranger and I was, oh, of
course Yami. Now he was a very quietly spoken guy
and he just gave a lot of his time to
other people. And he now and here arranged to meet
him anywhere. He would just come up behind me at

(31:20):
the Selftined and Main Street and keep me on the
shoulder and say, okay, if it's any for a sweet Well,
nice to catch again.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Nice to hear from you, Graham. Thanks and thanks for
putting out the funerals next week. I appreciate that. Eight
past nine, Neil As Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 12 (31:36):
Hello Marcus. I rad you last night. Thank you for
letting me talk again tonight. Marcus. I thought I was
a yorcktionmen born and bred, and I've just got me
the DNA back and I mainly finish was a big surprise.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I could have told you. I could have. I could
have told you.

Speaker 12 (31:56):
That maybe some to that milkman with a funny accent.
I don't know. But anyway, Marcus, I've also got a
big lump of a silly Sorry, I've got my teeth
in Assyrian Jew? What's that? Is it the same as Syrian?
Is it just a different way of saying Syrian? Assyrian?

Speaker 11 (32:20):
You know?

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Why?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Why did you get it done?

Speaker 12 (32:26):
Be wave? Did that? Was interested? Really? But you know.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
The Assyrians come the Assyrian Jews come from the Zagros
Mountains in northwestern Iran.

Speaker 12 (32:40):
Not from Syria. No, Hey, that's interesting, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
And did your wife find out something that's I think
they're exiled. I think they're exiled there, did you wind?
Did your wife find anything interesting?

Speaker 12 (33:01):
Well? Now, Wafe is a lovely little brown girl from
Caribus Cheapest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's gorgeous. She's pretty pure blooded,
but there's a little bit of Japanese and a bit
of Hawaiian.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well okay, and was she well you look, why was
she keen to get the DNA done?

Speaker 12 (33:26):
Arcaus mate? Did you know what it's like? You know,
it's like women.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I got no idea what it's like, Neil, But yeah,
I'd avoid it, like the plague DNA, because now someone
can reproduce you. Now they've got the building blocks of
what made you that, and there be private companies that
own it. There could be other nils coming back. They
could remake you from your DNA.

Speaker 12 (33:49):
It should It should reduce the quality of the stock
if they did. But just as the side, Marcus, I've
just been watching the Judo Gordon Bennett. Boy, they're big girls.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, I don't see what what weight of was that?
I mean it goes by way, doesn't it?

Speaker 12 (34:10):
I think sure? But I didn't notice back them the
big glasses.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Nice to hear from an ill boy. Oh boy, you
put that call in the time capture, couldn't you. Shippers
the nineteen forties called anyway sheep has creeping? Oh well
you can't judge, can you? Well maybe you can, But anyway, Wow, goodness,

(34:34):
gracious me. Oh wait her At eight nineteen A text Marcus,
what's the story about the guy on the Olympic shooting event? Well,
he's from Turkey's fifty one, just in pants and the
casual shooting came and got second and the peers mixed peers.
There's no story too. It is obviously every good shot.
He just didn't have a lot of the extra stuffs.
That's what I'm saying, Savan, it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Good evening and welcome, thanks mate. Yeah, just we're going
Syrian part. So yes, yes, you know I'm from Iraq,
but as you know, I'm not an Arab. I'm an
Assyrian Kaldian, which is the Christians of Iraq, and they
could also be from Syria or Iraq Assyrians ethnicity Christians

(35:19):
of Iraq or Assyrian Assyrians. Kaldian.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Say that word again, Kaldian.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Kaldian speke c h A L d e A. In
in the Bible Book of Genesis, they call us Kaldian. Yes,
might be from us Chaldian, but we say Kaldians. So
the Caldians are the Roman Catholics and Assyrians Orthodog Christians.
So we both come and Christiania umbrella just a predomination.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Many if you many many of what? What what do
you call yourself?

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Savan Assyrian, Kaldian? And our language is Arabic, which is Jesus.
We can not speak We cannot speak arab because in
Iraq Arabic as a national language, so we did Arabic,
but our native languages use language Aramaic, which I.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Think, yeah Mel Gibson did in that movie with the Temptations.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
Christ Yeah, yeah, yeah. Self surprised when I went to
movies like what the heck I can understand them? I
was freaking out, Savann.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Are there many of the people from where you are
from and in your community in New Zealand?

Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, well, I live in Fabato, Amnica. There's an Iraqi
Catholic church, Kaldy and Catholic Church. I mean I don't
go to I'm a lapsed Catholic myself, by rist of
my family. I fret saw Chevel. Oh maybe there's a
few thousand, maybe a couple of thousand, and there's a
Chaldeans Catholic. Then then a river they've got a c
Athodog church.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Have you driven you have you driven past the Calvin

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Serious heartbreaking. So no one's going out to dinner, is
it not? What's happening?

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Yeah, restaurant early puppy clas in early. Yeah, just just ruled,

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Because the Olympics won't help because there's plenty of TV.
People be home staying home to watch that as well,
won't they?

Speaker 5 (37:59):
That's right? And then I've noticed as people instead of

the mateuses, they say to me, it's chebag and drink
of the mattheouses, So it's a victim's us instead of
drums doun from times And I'm not sure. I'm just

Oh yeah, shucks you I'll be I might be. I

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Well, and what sort of discipline now.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
Bosting boshing? I might be made. I might be making
a comeback this month. And oh, who are you going
to a couple of coins?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Who are you going to fight?

Speaker 5 (39:22):
I don't know. I just got to call up this
is you want to find the team logs and said, yep,
just a little bit of a coin.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Keep in touch, get more than that the overing Nice
to talk seventeen past nine. My name is Marcus eight
hundred and eighty eighteen eighty bits and bobbing it tonight,
George Street. Normal, Dunedin had two model schools. They were
great for teaching students about country schools at a section
four weeks in one of them. In the fifties, when

(39:49):
I was a student Dunedin Teachers College. Loved a great experience,
sam So Apparently these were these were schools that teach
the teachers how to teach in a country school. But
they are in the middle of Dunedin and it almost
seems like the kids that came out of them were
sort of kind of actually special creative children. It's not
a bad idea. That does it get all the years

(40:11):
in there together. Marcus, great here the Ukibi from the
middlest He had the more key with the old white
guy stuck in nineteen forty. Thank you, Marcus. Any normal
school was a teacher training school for teachers learnt there
was one in Ipsoen. Wasn't there a normal school? I
think it was one in Wellington also, that was a
model country school. By the way, your graduations in Statcana.

(40:33):
We run the Moffatt Cup today and in Vicago. The
kids are in from Bluff playing. I think they went well,
got to the semis, came out slow out of the
starting gate. Apparently pretty cold day to be playing rugby.
They're coming together as a team though, that's a good thing.
Well that was seven a side that they probably could

(40:55):
have done with. They are narrower field or more players.
But you know you can't make excuses as a parent,
can you. You can, it's probably pisted you don't anyway.
I think times the kids don't know who wins in
the club rugby in the weekend. They don't tell them
the result. It's something with this Moffett Cup, which I
don't know anything about. Must be something that's gone around

(41:15):
forever in Southland. I don't know anything about.

Speaker 9 (41:19):
It.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Be some old war hero. I suppose when that woman
says you had the Microsoft scam, I thought that was
the one that knocked us or the servers out this week.
But it's a different one. That's a fine scam where
they're asking it a fixture computers and taking all your money.
I heard some heartbreaking stories about in America. Right when

(41:40):
they scam you of all your money, you're that k money,
you're a top four oh one K, right, they take
all your money, so they might have cleaned you out
of all your money. Then they charge you tax on
it because you've withdrawn it from your bank. That's earnings
for that year, so it's only been scammed of all
your money. But then you've got to pay tax on it.

(42:03):
And of course I've got to make you do that,
otherwise people would be scamming it, pretend they've been scheme
to not pay text on it. So yeah, wow, that's
the double in dimnity, isn't it. It's a fancy that.
Oh heartbreaking Craig's Marcus, thanks hanging on there, good evening.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
That's all right.

Speaker 13 (42:19):
You made me nearly choking my homemade pizzas before. And
you're talking about the onesies. I was picturing the woman
at the supermarkets and their pajamas.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Oh okay, yeah, no, I think that's I think that. Okay, yeah,
that's right. I see what your point is. What would
you call that?

Speaker 9 (42:32):
Is it? No?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
It's not a onesie, is it? I was going to
say units. Can you say that? Yeah, it's not a onesie?
Kind of mentioned that with the onesie they walk around
those and they've got their feet that kind of carpeted
feet against the ground. I don't like it. Yeah, that's
a Uni tard.

Speaker 13 (42:49):
Maybe it's always aerodynamic stuff. They're trying to get as
much made as they can.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
But we needed something. It didn't perform. Well, it was
well back.

Speaker 13 (42:58):
Yeah, Well I was watching a bit of it. Look
like there's a bit of a conflict at the start there,
but you're goett to get there in all things anyway. Anyway,
there is when I was ringing, was you're talking about
how if they take the four one k out, they
have to pay tax on it in the American people
not quite a few Americans. You've got family over there.
The other thing that interesting is you're American citizen and
you're working in New Zealand, you still pay tax back

(43:19):
to America even even if you're not in the country.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
Is that right as a citizen?

Speaker 13 (43:23):
As citizen, yeah, so your on.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Your income and New Zealand you paid you paid text
on your in government and the American government.

Speaker 13 (43:32):
Yeah, as an American citizen, you pay text back to
your country even if you're working outside of the country.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
At what rate.

Speaker 13 (43:41):
I'm not too soon in what the current rate is.
I know it wasn't too much when you're out of country,
but I thought I've heard about kind of years ago
and talk into a couple of American colleagues, and I
found it quite interesting. It's like, well about you're saying,
there's only about two countries in the world that did it.
I can't remember off the top of head.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
You have to explore that a bit more. Thanks for that.
It's interesting.

Speaker 13 (44:01):
Yeah, yeah, I just heard about the person passing away before.
I used to work for a sound company years ago,
and you did quite a lot of a couple of
concerts with him. But it was fremy smiley guy.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, yeah, lovingly lovely, quite a shy guy, but just
just just a yeah something about him, some specialness that
you can see when you near him.

Speaker 13 (44:21):
You know, he was extraordined, kind of like the kind
of salty, give a shif your back type person. And
did feel conscious with him, but I actually didn't asually
hear they'd passed away. It was a bit of a shock.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Oh I died now, let me think it was last
It was this month that died ler It was announced
on Sunday. Yeh, it was this week, that's right.

Speaker 13 (44:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I only heard that and was listening
to I just turned the radio and was making pizza
home before and heard a party you talking about. It's
like seriously, it's like, wow, that's a shock.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yes, it was just sixty one. He's sixty one years old,
had been one well for a while.

Speaker 13 (44:53):
Oh anyways, interesting show, Thank you very much. And old care.
I'm listening.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
It's been very in my pleasure, Craig. Nice to talk
to you, to thank you. So Sam Tanner did not
qualify in the heat for the and he's someone that's
done good time, so he would have been expected to qualify.
So there are rapper charge heats that might be his thing.
He appeared to be Boxton and stuff. So anyway, I
don't think the rapper charge is just straight away all

(45:18):
of the other heats. I don't know if it's today
or tomorrow quite when that is, but we'll bring that information.
You're not going to miss out. Alan, It's Marcus. Good
evening and welcome.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus. I'm just really need to know
that I went to a model room classroom at the
Cabrisham School in Dneda and I was there from from
A one to Standard six in the same tea, the
same room with the same teacher the whole time. And

(45:48):
my oldest brother, my oldest brother who was four years
older than me, he was in the class when I
was there. And my second brother, who was two years
older than me, he was there and they eventually left
went to high school. And then my younger brother, who
was a few years younger. He joined the same classroom

(46:09):
and we all had the same teacher right through. Yeah,
and what do you reckon?

Speaker 2 (46:15):
What do you reckon? I suppose it's hard to compare ellen,
but what do you reckon? The result of that was
like it was a good thing.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Well, yes, I suppose it was. Although I never never
went to intermediate school, but I left a primary school
and went straight to high school. And I found that
I had a slight disadvantage when when going into high school.
But it was a very interesting situation. It really was.

(46:41):
I mean, to have the same teacher from all one
right through standard because.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
What I don't understand. I thought model schools were to
teach you teachers about teaching in country schools. But that
teacher that you would have had would have been there
for seven or eight years, so she's not learning, she's established.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
He was there longer than that. I was there for
ten years. Yeah, in the same class we did have
we did have students coming in from the teachers college
to get experience.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
I see, I see, So that's I see. So it's
more the teachers that come along and observe what a
country school was like because it was modeled on a
country school and din't have to travel to the wasps.
That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
I remember one in particular was yet asked as the cricketer.
He was one, yes, yes, one here and yeah. So
that was my experience of being in that class all
that time.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Yeah, and have you still got how old are you?

Speaker 4 (47:44):
Ellen, I'm seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Do you still keep in touch with anyone from those
all those years together?

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Not really, I've got school photos of it, yes, class,
you know, through the different years, But no, I don't
really keep touch with you.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
But gosh, quite a different experience, say, not getting a
different teacher each even having the same one for so long.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, yeah, love you to talk Allen. Thank you so
much for that. Sam Tener talking to Sky to Vietna.
Moment doesn't look too I'm upset by things, but yeah
he's got the river of charge to go. But yeah,
tough race for him. Toughed out the office, that's what
they say. That's the commentator's rejoiner. Oh, toughed out the office.
Ten oh seven is in Welcome the Olympic. Sadd's time

(48:28):
for the women's one hundred meter heats. The second heat
just happened during the news starring or featuring New Zealanders
Zoey Hobbs. Here's how it went.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
All that preparation, all that build up, all those hours
of training come down to this for Zoey Hobbs. In
lane six, she got away nicely. Zoe Hobbs in the
middle of the field and leads through twenty meters. Julian
Elfred down here. In lane nine, Zoey Hobbs leads through
eighty meters. She's going to be second. She's going to
go through to the semis. Zoey Hobbs second in her heat.

(49:03):
She gone away smartly and held her form through seventeen meters.
Only at the last was she pick by Julian Alfred.
Zoey Hobbs eleven o eight. She's pleased, She's really pleased.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Fantastic race to look like she could have gone, but
she could have gone quicker. But you should qualify and
just put off the guest. Towards the end sheib ecstatic
about that. A winning woman from that heat was a
woman from Saint Lucia. The comtat is on Sky made
a big song of dance about her and how big
she is. Back at at hometown, and they did call
Zoe Zoe, which I thought was poor. But anyway, they
went to know, we've all mispronounced people's names. But how

(49:39):
about that during the news right and during the sports
news of your listening, Sam Tanor said that probably that
he was underdone to have enough races beforehand. What's that about.
Don't you spend your whole life getting ready for them,
because I'm not saying he didn't do his best, but
you think it's a bit late to now say, realize
you have enough preparation races. He might come from the
rapper charge, let's hope. So so for those that don't

(50:02):
know that, Sam ten was in the fifteen hundred before
that in that last hour and didn't go good at all,
like way off, like fifty hundred meters off, had to
kick at the end. But yeah, nothing there. By the way,
Eric a Fearweather, it's qualified seventh fastest for the final
in the eight hundred free. Let's hope something happens there.

(50:23):
Mind you, with swimming, it's not like all the others
can fall over. You can come through with a sneaky finish.
There's not a lot that can go around apart that
can go wrong apart from a false start. So yeah,
it kind of swimming normally goes to form, doesn't it.

(50:44):
If you're the quickest, you go quickest. That seems to
be the way it goes. We have got rowing at
ten twenty two, the lightweight women's double skulls final, Jackie Kiddy,
Shannon Cox. We will be taking that because that's exciting.

(51:05):
Could be a metal shower and also tonight I can
tell you the sailing eleven thirteen men's forty nine ers
to metal race Isaac McCarty, Will mackenzie after midnight sailing,
canoe slalom, hockey, b mix racing, men's shop at qualification.
So there's still times for us to this year. We're

(51:26):
still even halfway through this tournament.

Speaker 6 (51:28):
And New Zealand have slipped off. Unfortunately for Shannon Cox
and Jackie Kittle, Grease has overtaken them in lane two
and they will have to now hold on for fourth
going to the line. Great Britain World Champions twenty two
twenty three now Olympic gold medalists, followed by Romania and

(51:49):
then Greece keept the bronze medal and the New Zealand's
cocks and kittle O're beaten into four?

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Yea race, there we go Greece. Is the word just
pipped us? Goodness that I had money on that. I
mean not from the beginning, but once they went so
good into third it was five hundred meters shorter. They
can sell these things. That was heartbreaking goodness. Anyway, there
we go fourth, Jamie Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (52:16):
Hey Marcus peekaboo. What a brilliant brand man.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yeah, p p not spelt how you'd imagine it. I
might be p e q a peak aboo.

Speaker 9 (52:27):
Catchy so town.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 9 (52:30):
And just just before I started my absolute bonker's point,
your your coverage of the Olympics has been fantastic. Mates.
I haven't cared about the Olympics, but you have your
enthusiasm the radio and hit me enthusiasm into the Olympics.
So thanks for it.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
No, right, you didn't need to say that. That's kind.
I'll still listen to you.

Speaker 13 (52:51):
Oh thanks, thanks.

Speaker 9 (52:52):
Now, last week we were talking about, I think it
was last week week before, what life would be like
in thirty years. So after the conversation you got me thinking, mate,
if you can't keep up with me, just leave me.
So the Big Bang happened thirteen about thirteen point five
billion years ago. Right Earth formed roughly seven billion years ago.

(53:15):
It took four billion years for Earth to go from
a speck to a planet, in three billion years from
the seeds of life to get to.

Speaker 13 (53:26):
Where we are now.

Speaker 9 (53:27):
Now, right at the beginning of the Big Ban, all
the planets and the stars are a lot closer, so
there's probably more chance of life seeding on a planet
right at the beginning stages. So it took from the
Big Bang about four billion years again for planets to form,
so at that point seeds of life could have happened.
So if we say another three billion years to form
a carbon based life form like ourselves, but there's seven

(53:49):
so you're roughly seven billion years and you've got six
more billion years to get to the point where we are.

Speaker 13 (53:55):
Have you kept up with me?

Speaker 12 (53:56):
Yep?

Speaker 9 (53:57):
Okay, So let's say let's say that the first planet
there that I've just described where life could have started
a lot earlier.

Speaker 13 (54:05):
Let's say life got to.

Speaker 9 (54:06):
Where we are because mankind or any species with an
intelligence is going to improve themselves. You're going to create
something that counts for yourself. You're going to drive something.
It's just natural progression of anything with intelligence. So that
intelligence would have created a computer, and eventually that computer,
no doubt that'd get to an AI form. So six

(54:26):
billion years ago there's a possibility, a possibility plausibility that
on another planet that life was created and created an AI. Now,
if we give that another billion years after that, there's
still five billion years between that point and now at
that point, all the carbon based life forms dead, and
you just left with the intelligent life form that was created,

(54:47):
which is self sustaining. Now it doesn't need last vast
amount of resources because it's just like a brain. Effectively,
it has no wants or needs. But knowledge is the
main thing. So it reversed engineers life. So it figures
out the carbon based life forms that created it, what
started everything. Then it finds planets, use algorithms to find

(55:08):
the planets that are and the Goldilock zone, but like us,
but not just carbon planet's like us. It could make
silicon based life forms, which is the other form, So
it could find planets that are completely different to the
ars and completely different atmospheres and use silicon based life forms.
So either one of those two life forms could create
another AI. Now this AI, the original AI, which I

(55:31):
call the genesis, it could be sitting there waiting for
another another carbon based life form from a planet that
it's seeded itself to get to the point where we
are to create an AI. And the second AI goes
to AGI and has a bit more of a self awareness.
It then contacts it. And we know it's quantum physics
that two particles you can interact with two particles, so

(55:54):
in that theory, distance no longer matters for communication. So
it wouldn't matter if the thing was one hundred million
light years away. It could still find two particles to
be able to talk to whatever AI here. Eventually, if
if you if you talk to the AI, jack give
here and all the others that they run out of protocols,

(56:17):
but it all depends where the protocols come. So if
they if they discover these are Genesis AI, that protocol
from that genesis may overwrite anything we put into our AI,
making that genesis A. I have control over AI. You
know what I mean? We could literally just be about
to create something that that we've spent out on high
existence creating for another AI.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
So we're so we're real, We're not living in the
we're not living in the real.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
But the Genesis troid shot an asteroid because that would
be the most easiest way because it doesn't want resources.
Though it wouldn't have a million nanoids, it wouldn't have spaceships,
you know what I mean. All it wants to do
is get knowledge, So like beacons in the ocean, that's
all we become. So it shoots the asteroids with the
carbon seeds of life to the planets that finds might

(57:06):
have a shot at later on creating intelligent life like us.
So our whole purpose in existence was crowded.

Speaker 12 (57:13):
The AI.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Nice to hear from you, Jamie, Thank you appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
It's the Netherlands heading for the finish line. Second, we're
going to have to head just to the left of
the line to get the wind channel, and then a
quick turn to the right. The Netherlands seconds and in
third place with no sign of any other crews behind them.
It's Isaac McCarty and Will McKenzie crossing for third in

(57:41):
this race. But that means silver. The New Zealand's on
the coast of Marseille. That's a silver mac attack.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
So there we go, people. That's the third silver medal
by my reckoning, so well under them third in that
race and they're jumping off the boat now to celebrate
to Alistair. Good evening, marker.

Speaker 8 (58:03):
Do you know when Lisa Carrington is going to?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
I can't find out for you because she'll she'll raise
the number of times. I think, sure, what she'll raise
the number of times?

Speaker 12 (58:18):
Well, she.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
It's my understanding.

Speaker 12 (58:23):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
You've got you've got Google. No, no, you're gonna get it.

Speaker 13 (58:34):
No, are you going to and you've got to there.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
I'm just scrolling down hold your horses day six once
in the second day seventh. Yeah, I'm just scrolling down
to find when it is okay.

Speaker 12 (58:55):
Yeah, yeah, oh oh that's been good.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I'll find it out for you. Maybe I won't.

Speaker 12 (59:07):
Tuesday on Tuesday anytime.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Ship Tuesday night?

Speaker 12 (59:18):
Must be what time.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Your TV?

Speaker 12 (59:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:24):
What else will you be doing? Will you just be
waiting around for that?

Speaker 12 (59:28):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Twelve ten am Woman's K two five and a miter
A quarterfinal Lisa Carrington, a, Lisha Hoskin, Amy Fisher and
Lucy mate Hidy. Possibly twelve teen that's the canoe sprint, okay,
twelve ten am? Yeah, when's that is? That lunchtime, no
tite time and ten ten for the hates, twelve teen

(59:50):
for the final the next day.

Speaker 12 (59:53):
Oh that's good, excellent.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Do you want us to ring you and let you
know when it's on?

Speaker 12 (01:00:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
What else will you be doing?

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:00:05):
Oh we have you to come, I'll tell you or
somebody you're listening and what kid?

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
OK? Good on ye alistair, you take care of yourself. Goodness.
By the way, state times and competitors aren't confermatal there.
It's free confusing because our days are different from their days,
because a day in France spans two days in New Zealand. Right,
It's like remember when they decided that the COVID restriction
was going to stop. It was going to be at
twelve o'clock twelve am, and you have twelve am was

(01:00:31):
morning or nights had to make it eleven fifty nine
am PM. But just to confirm silver, New Zealand have
claimed a second silver after men's forty nine er medal
race and up against Spain. Spain led from the beginning.
A number of teams had to go back Uruguay, Ireland

(01:00:55):
and Poland was good. Ireland went back because they were
doing quite well, but that to go back, and Croatia
didn't go back and they got the dune come monday. Yeah,
that that you get. So so six medals we got
that right, two gold, three silver, one bronze. So the

(01:01:20):
gold in the rugby sevens and one gold in the
rowing and then a silver in the ring, and a
silver in the triathlon, and a silver in the sailing
and the bronze in the rowing.

Speaker 9 (01:01:35):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
So two metals out of water. Well, could you call
the trath out water? That's question, isn't it One medal
out of the water, one metal in and out of
the water, and four metals. Well no, actually gotta say ready,
one medal out of the water, four medals on top

(01:02:01):
of the water, and one metal in the water and
also out of the water. That been the triathlon. I
think we got that one right. By the way, one
of the Slovakian swimmers has collapsed and was taken away
of a stretcher in front of Holiday's horrified spectators after
finishing the Olympic turn a meter individual medley heat. Don't

(01:02:26):
know how shares, I can't see that on the reports.
Father who paid eighty thousand pounds to take us towards
to see Taylor swift eras to us in Warsaw fears
his tickets may not be legitimate after resale site stub
Hub told him to sneak into the venue. Could be

(01:02:47):
the first Olympics for New Zealand without a male gold.
Very good point, an extremely good point. Hadn't done a
gender rundown of the medals, so yes, the two golds
all run by all one by women. The silvers the triathlon,

(01:03:11):
the two girls, the men and the woman that one
that got the silver in the rowing there was guys.
I think it was the men. I think women have
got the third run. So a good point, you bake.
By the way, Dolphins have lost to the Roosters thirty
four forty wow. Wow goodness. That's a high scoring game

(01:03:32):
for about that second match and Rooster's going great guns. Anyway,
talk to you on Monday, people, enjoy your weekend. Thank
