Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Knights podcast from News
talks'd B.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Look, there's a lot going on. The women's kayak fours
has just happened. Extraordinarily looking crew on the water, the
fraud of me Liessa Carrington at the front of the boat,
all dressed identically, exactly the same glass, exactly the same braids.
They look, no nonsense, unbelievable performance. Here is how they went.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Lisa Carrington, Dame Lisa Carrington, brings New Zealand down to
the line first position, qualifying for the final of the
women's K four five hundred meters.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
That's just happened. That was just during the news. So yeah,
that was a And look, I've watched a lot of
the kayaking, but I've never seen a team look as
possessed or as peddling in unison as they did today.
That was just an extraordinary performance. Great lake too, by
the way, and he usual suspect as far as the
countries that turned up, you know, basically European with a

(01:10):
smattering of others. But anyway, that's a situation, but an
extraordinary qualification there. So that has just happened. We've also
got a using a women in the fifteen hundred meters.
It's about to start also too, so we'll take that.
We like the heats, so that's a situation, so we'll
have that race and that won't be far away. And
that's important too because that for me is the pinnacle

(01:34):
is the fifteen hundred. But Maya Ramsden she'll be in
round one of the women's fifteen hundred. We will take
that when it happens. We've got sports climbing with Julian
David that's happening also too, so that we'll happen in
the situation with the fifteen hundred, top six in each
eat go to the semifinal, so hopefully there'll be a qualification.
Then we will take that race. When that happens, we'll

(01:55):
do talk back to that obviously as well, till we'll
sprinkle that between us watching and talking about the events.
I've got a lot to say tonight, by the way, btw,
very excited to wake up this morning to find the
two medals beyond what I hope for really that we've
gone to the Three Golds with the one in the
Canusa well, what's it called the sort of Canouse slalom?

(02:18):
By the way, I've always struggled kayak and a canoe.
It varies, doesn't it. There's kind of no definitive description.
But oh will I suppose the terms of the Olympics,
there is probably a definitive difference between the two of them.
But that was exciting to get those two medals over note,
I know to in sent flow Targa, the town of Alexandra.

(02:38):
It's very excited about that. So yeah, that's good value.
So that's the situation too. And I haven't seen the
whole of the race with the women's team pursuit in
the cycling if it was in facteen pursuit, but that
was exciting also too. Those cyclists have got other metal
PEPs that they can bring home. But yeah, that's a
situation there. So we'll bring you everything tonight. A lot's
happening and we'll do talk back around that also and

(03:02):
also breaking use anything else that you've got. Amazing last
I like to have that earthquake just unfold through before
midnight last night. A though there hasn't been much talk
about that today. Four point seven, four point eight might
have been it might have been ramped down that one,
but I don't hear of any damage overnight. But anyway,

(03:23):
it's interesting with quakes. They caught a big stories when
they happen, but unless there's damage, they disappear quite quickly.
I'll just see what that was on the hip parade
because yeah, if it had been downsized downgraded. But anyway,
just waiting for the fifteen hundred race to go soon
before too long. But eight hundred and eighty Teddy and

(03:43):
nine two nine two text, get your texts coming through
also tonight fearbit to talk about will be the Olympics,
but also to arouse other people will be going about
their work and doing things like that, So do what
I can to keep you updated about that. Just trying
to work out what the revised measurement of that quake was.
It remained at a four point eight just fifteen k

(04:04):
southwest of Wellington, depth of thirty thirteen kilometers rather not
thirteen meters they would skew the ground open. Now I'm
just waiting for the fifteen hundred to go. This next
one with the Kiwis and the means javelin is also
on today, and keep your text coming through too, because
I can read quick texts as I wait for the
new sports to start hey, by the way, just something

(04:27):
else three minutes away until we go to that one.
Eight seventeen. Got pizza for the kids tonight and I
sat in Pizza Hut South in Vicago, and it was
fifteen minutes to wait for a pizza. And I don't
have a problem with that, but man, was it busy.

(04:53):
And when I ever think we've got uber eatz and Vicago,
we've got delivery deliver easy, but so many people picking
up pizzas and delivering them. I think Pizza Hut themselves
were delivering. I must have been there for ten minutes.
There must have been one hundred pizza's gone out. And
I'm thinking, well, all sorts of questions to go through
my mind. A. Why are we so obsessed with pizza?

(05:14):
Two or B A B B have we reached peak pizza? C?
Do you want to enjoy pizza? D? What's are those
boxes that are a meter long? Who's having that? That's

(05:36):
another question? There's more E Why is it so successful pizza?
And I suspect, having thought about this for an hour,
I suspect the pizza is so successful not because it's delicious,
not because it's incredibly healthy, not because it's incredibly cheap,

(05:58):
although it seems to be very reasoningly priced. I think
probably the major success of your standard pizzas, like your
pizza and your dominoes. Oh here's the fifteen. I'm going
to get this one. We'll take this and hold your
horse said, they're going to go about a minute. Oh no,
they might do the slow introduction of all the athletes.
Yet sometimes I think, if I'm an athlete, I think

(06:19):
what my special wave would be. Some of the women
just do a wave with just their fingers. Their hands
go up beside them like a who does his hands
up them like we're about to press up but standing up.
Then just wiggle their fingers. Other ones do the heart
with their hands. Other ones do the pull the bow,
do the arrow. Often wonder what I'd do? But that's

(06:44):
the Olympics for you, isn't it. Yeah, because you will
sit there and watch that. Well, Actually, what sport would
I be good at? Or none? Because I'm not there?
And how I wave to the camera. He's she's Remsen's
done a heart, and then she's done a wiggly heart.
She did a heart and then then fernit End's done
the little double wave. The woman looks like she's Icelandic.

(07:04):
She's done a wink. They all got something, haven't they.
That's their thing. The USA woman's blowing a kiss. Anyway,
We'll take this race when it happens. Who's calling it? Dan,
I've got big hopes for this. They come around and
turn for home.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
It is well Tedgi of Ethiopia, keep Your Gone in second,
Bell of Great Britain and third, then Helps of the
United States and fourth.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
There the front foor.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Maya Ramsen is making a late bit down the home
straight to try and get into the top six. She
may just have left it a little bit too late.
I think Ramsen's going to be seventh. Well, Tedgi wins
Bell second, keep Your Gone third, and Ramsden might have
just tipped in sheep for sixth. She has Maya Ramsden

(07:58):
down the home straight and has tipped ahead of Heale.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Extraordinary race. Healey has just collapsed over the line two.
Ramsten probably was ten meters behind her starting the one
hundred meters straight and just kicked. That was an extraordinarily
exciting race. They you six went through and she just
got the Putton. She just got there in time. So
she probably herself won't know that they were looking up

(08:23):
at the screen. But that was an unbelievably exciting race
to watch. That was just extraordinary, and that was she finished.
She finished further at a higher place than she had
been in the whole race. She'd been out there back ten, eleventh, twelfth,
but right at the end, oh no, she's way way back.

(08:45):
She'd be at least seven, eight, nine, ten meters from
the woman that she just catches up to. It's a
massive stride. Finished about thirty meters behind the leader, but
just within the last well five meters, takes over from
the woman who wasn't six thoughs colapsed. She's spinned debsolutely
on the ground by the end of a very exciting match.

(09:06):
That's race. Sarah Helly the Irish they say, Sarah Healy, Yes,
so I think so. She was the Irish woman. So
just pipped her right very much at the line, less
than a tenth of the second in it, and she's stumbling.
If she hadn't stumbled, the Irish woman, she probably would
have got there before. Very exciting race. There's just the

(09:29):
heat actually to tell the take. Mara Ramsen was just
three seconds behind the winner of that. She went three
point fifty eight and Mara Ramsden went four oh one,
so quite a close race. Actually when you look at
that was an extraordinary race to watch too so. And
also we're going to have the men's double five hundred
meter heat that's going to come up before too long.
It's during the headline. Who will take it and come

(09:50):
back to That's a lot happening, not happening on the
water and track and field. I just love it. But
tell you a lot of jostling Boxton. They say that
a lot, don't they Boxton.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
AI N has won the heat, Italy and the and
looking at the split times, New Zealand was twenty three
seconds behind at the halfway point. There they are. My apologies.
They didn't pull out. They are now crossing the line
now so they have finished last, have Max Brown and

(10:25):
Grant Clancy.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Okay, like essh, you can't win them all. Ain is
the individual neutral athletes known by the French acronym AI
in these nations were banned by the IOC from Team
Sports at the Paris Games called the attack on the Ukraine.
So not entirely sure how they get to go there,
but there we go, and I'm quite sure why the
Kiwis performed so badly, looked almost like they had trouble

(10:47):
starting off, that they got unbalanced on their boat. But
you can't win them all anyway, Looking forward to what
you've got to say, Oh, eight hundred eighty tendy nine
nine detext if you're a talk on here, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty I want took Pizza's actually also, but
anything else you've got, feel free to come through. And

(11:07):
I say eighty nine to the text. If one knows
what happened in that can I race, Keywies just were
out of the picture. Even the commentator couldn't see them. Yeah,
Tony Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Oh hey Marcus. Did you hear the race today that
the guy that won the gold medal today? Did you
hear the way the commentator did the ending or the race?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
No? What what sport was it in? Tony?

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Oh, I'm not sure. I just caught it on on
on the radio today. But the way the commentator was
uh ended when he had won the race, and the
way that the commentator had had ended it, man, it
was awesome.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know, Well, I don't know because I didn't hear it.
Can you explain it? A but to me, what was
the event?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, I just got in beck it. I knew that
we won a gold.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
It must have been the kayaks Salem. Was it the canoeing.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
And it was just one guy.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Okay, I'll see if I can find out. Tonny, thank you, Noel,
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
How are you that well here? It just was on
the news tonight and I've thought about it a number
of times. About gas and New Zealand exploration. Right, yeah,
I live off grid and my biggest thing is gas.
I have it in my camper van. I have it
out in my annex. I have more gas bottles, you know,

(12:57):
I have big gas bottles. And if it wasn't for gas,
I couldn't look.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
So when you say you got you're off grid, you're
not in a tempt you home, you're in You've got
to You've got a house for foundations, right okay, campra
Ven yep.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
No, I've got a camper van, yep. And I've got
some solar for the van. But when it comes to cooking,
it's all gas. I don't know what we'll do if
we don't keep finding more. I mean the world's not
going to give it to us, not this day. And
age very important people like us.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
When do they expect New Zealand's gas reserves to run out?

Speaker 6 (13:43):
Oh not for a while.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
You must be across there. But they're not. They're stopping
the articulated guess, aren't they.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
Look.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
I don't know exactly what gas, but I know how
important is. And I'm not the only one using gas here.
I'm importing to any number of houses with big bottles
of gas.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, where about Cu.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Glory Kypra Harbor.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well you Knowlory right, gee, Lucky eld Yo.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Yeah, not quite up to the hall, but down there.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, Okay, they're in the last ten years. But yeah,
I don't know what they'll do. I'm sure and tenas
something else will come along, won't it.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Well I hope so. But at the moment, there ain't
nothing else. And it's like I sort of listen to
that guy in the Green Party I quote, I mean
not the Green New Zealand first, and I quite like
what he's got. The stones is it? He says, we
should open up that refinery again, but we've only got

(14:43):
about a month two months spere petrol. Well, you don't
make it.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I don't think it's that connect you with your guests, though,
is it?

Speaker 6 (14:53):
No? But it's all the same thing.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
An, I don't know that it is. I think your guess,
where's your guess when you're sure it's coming ashore in
taran Eki? Is it? And it's piped up from there
and then bottled?

Speaker 6 (15:07):
I suspect so? But why not find more? You've got
to have it. I mean, I've got taller, but I
cann't cook. I can on gas.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
But why are you paranoid about it? Because there's no
shortage of supply now though?

Speaker 8 (15:25):
Was there?

Speaker 5 (15:26):
No?

Speaker 6 (15:27):
Look, I'm an old fowl. I haven't got long to go.
I'm seventy two, right.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, I see you out.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, but what about All I'm saying is it's like
a political thing whatever, and greennything whatever. But we have
to supply our nation with our own things, be it
petrol and be it gas, because one day, if something
major happens up around the oceans of the world, we've
got nothing coming and we're going to live on new stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, but I think there's been some paranoia about that.
I mean, most of our petroleum for our cars comes
from overseas, doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Yeah, but we used to refine it up here. In
one garat.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I mean you can't. But if you're just going to say.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Made the best petrol, they made the best ash fhelt.
They used one hundred percent of what they refined, going
right to all sorts of extracts. And that's why our
roads are failing, because we stopped making our own bitumen.
We bought it in from Singapore or somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I suspect it's slightly more confusing than that and slightly
more complicated NOL. But thank you. Nineteen away from nine.
My name is Marcus. Welcome. That was an interesting sort
of part. The commentator commentator the race, they didn't think
the people were in it, and then we got to Bitcherman. Goodness, wow,
so there we go. So then he's in. A female

(16:56):
runner has qualified for the next heat and the fifteen
hundred and maya Ramsden. That's exciting. The two men in
the kneeling canoeen, well, that was not their chosen event.
They qualified for something else, and we're forced to go
in that. I've got no idea why. I'm just trying
to get some more information about that. So that's in
confusing itself, but bring some information through for you about that.

(17:17):
When I get that. Fayett's Marcus, welcome and good evening.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
Hello Marcus. And were you at Donamo's getting your pizza pizza?
I think pizza pizza, Donamo's pizza hut. Oh okay, because
donamo Is they have a Tuesday special. Everything's half price
on a Tuesday. If you've got one, Dawn, have you
got one down there?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
We've got everything when it comes to Pizza's, nothing else
but everything with pizzas. There must be six different franchises
for pizzas Tuesday halftime. I love, I love how you
say Donamo's Tuesday everything.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
We're a classics do.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, how much would it be? Because I said you
about four dollars? Even the must almost nothing.

Speaker 9 (18:08):
Well, I buy one, just me. I buy one and
then I'll get two meals out of it, and it's seven.

Speaker 10 (18:13):
Dollars just for the regular cheapest creepers.

Speaker 9 (18:17):
There's three dollars fifty to night.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
And that's tomorrow's dinner as well as.

Speaker 9 (18:22):
It exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Do you heat it up or your ear fry?

Speaker 9 (18:28):
I heat it up in the oven because when you
put it in the microwave, there go soggy. So I
have three four pieces and then tomorrow night back in
the oven for just a few minutes. Eat it through.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
People say it's got an air fry, but I've never
heard of that. Half priced.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
I've got to I've got to put it in there.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Try it tomorrow. Would you have me know? Could you
try it tomorrow and let me know because people swear
by it.

Speaker 9 (18:50):
We'll do half price Tuesdays every Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Half priced Tuesdays. It might be a nation half two
and half price half prist Tuesdaysay, well, wonder what I
ask the kids where they want to go to set
me to the other place cheapers and that was busy
excludes the lamb range. A lot going around in my mind.
But I'm frankly trying to work out why. Because there

(19:18):
was this race, right it was the two kei we
men kneeling on one leg. Well, yes, what a kneelers.
You guys know what a kneels, don't you? In the
boat with pedals? But they didn't even want to be
in that event. But one of the criteria that we
qualified for another event, which I think was the K four,
meant we had to supply a crew for this kneeling event.

(19:40):
So it's an Olympic event. But they must have had
enough teams, so they had to actually plunder some of
the other teams to make sure that they went across.
So these two guys had never done it before. We
did have people that had done it before, but they
went send across because they went part of the K four.
So yeah, because I originally thought they must have fallen
out of the boat when they went in the picture,

(20:00):
you couldn't see them. That's what that's about. That confusing
and right about the pizzas. And I guess the question
about the pizzas I was trying to ask you is
I haven't no where to go with this. Thirty years ago,
occasionally you get pizza, right, it was kind of a
rare thing that would happen occasionally. Pizza was a sit

(20:22):
and dininger kind of a thing. But in the last
ten fifteen years it's become ubiquitous. And these days and
the way it's going, before too long, pizza kiwis will
be eating nothing else but pizza. Why is that? Can't quite

(20:44):
work out what they are? I guess it's just the
I guess probably it's a classic case of there been
a price war and it's cheap and people are into
it and maybe the other thing about pizzas two when
it comes to your big three, like Pizza Hut and
Dominos and the other ones I can't remember their names.
Probably Hels pizza that's slightly more flesh. There's probably a

(21:05):
chuck him in a cardbo box, and they're easy to deliver.
Other stuff you're messing around the cellar. The top comes
off at things like that. Pizzas though, Yeah, it almost
seems to be a food that's specifically designed for delivery.
Burgers will topple, salads will crumble, tacos will split. So

(21:26):
it's quite interesting, isn't It's the one food that's designed,
and that's not the reason it was designed, But it's
the one food that probably transports better than anything else.
I mean that's part of the because even in V
Cargo Tonight, people coming in and out to deliver. You know,
these people parts of movie deliverists going for it. I

(21:50):
want to take about this, but are we at peak pizza?
Surely it couldn't get any more. I'm sure we couldn't
stay any any more pizza, could we? I don't know
what it's the long term consequences of it are I
can't imagine it's particularly good for you. I don't know that.

(22:10):
A lot of meat, lot of cheese, a lot of carps. Anyway, Marcus,
did you see Elon Musk wants to make one million
robots a year. That's one company. Do you feel like
humans might be out numbered ten to one in a
couple of years? Marcus mes Bron and Grant Clancy will

(22:31):
compete in Paris after canoe was qualifiing a race featuring
rivals aged in the sixties and seventies. Yes, I didn't
see that. Thank you for that, Marcus. Pizza hack. When
reheating pizza in the microwave, put a small glass order
in the microwave. This stops the base from becoming dry
and cardboard. Like, you're welcome, Pete. Not it's called welcome Pete,

(22:52):
but you're welcome Pete. Thanks Pete. My name is Marcus
hid on Midnight Tonight. Extremely complicated the story, but the
two key we men kneeling in the canoe. I don't
even know if it was. I don't even know that
it was a kayak and a canoe, and I've spent
times in canoe. That's got me going get in touch.

(23:13):
By name is Marcus welcome oh eight hundred and eighty
e TAD nine nine decks canoe usually open deck, seated
or kneeling rowing position, one bladed pedal, wider kayak closed
deck boats in the position with legs stretched out, although
I think that's been an evolving description. One of the

(23:37):
more interesting YouTube videos or Facebook videos I watched tonight
was people replacing their car mats with wood. You get
planks of wood and you'd put tape between them and

(24:00):
you'd put them down when your car mates were to
give your car a wooden interior. What's that about? Did
anyone see that one of those videos had just given
I thought that's a bit interesting in the video closed,
it wouldn't cor mats. Surprised about that. That was something
that I saw today. I thought, jeep as creepers. It's
a bit weird anyway, getting touched by names Marcus here

(24:23):
at the end, it's going to be quite an exciting
night tonight. Just got a feeling that there's going to
be magic in the air, I hope. So I'll tell
you what. After that kayak came race. Poor Malcolm Jordan
couldn't see them. Thought they'd pulled out. They're just miles behind.
Like the boatmen, I tipped out before they got back

(24:44):
up and got running. But she's one of the more
bizarre ones I've ever seen. One billion robots, that's right,
one billion robots a year. That's what I saw. One billion.
Did I say that right? You've come back and corrected me. Anyway,

(25:05):
head on Midnight, my name is Marcus. Welcome. You've been
an exciting day for the nick a. Isn't it down
and up? Cheap as creepers? Anyway, Welcome people, my name
is Marcus hid on Midnight talking about pizza. Have we
reach peak pizza? And you see the people in the

(25:26):
pizza shop. All they're doing is frantically folding cardboard boxes.
Do that be enjoyable or not? Well, they're not. Just
put them in the envelopes because half the shop's taken
up with ovens. The other half is just take up
with giant stacks of cardboard. What about there's cardboard beds, Lyle.

(25:51):
It's Marcus, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Ah, Hi, Marcus.

Speaker 10 (25:56):
It's slightly off topic, but I ran it past your producer,
so I said it's okay. For the last couple of weeks,
I'm in a minute crook. So to pass the time
I've been consuming the world's media, they say, And of
course the number one event in everywhere apart from Russia,
who spat the dummy a bit, is the Olympics. And
the conclusion I've come to is that everyone's a legend

(26:19):
in their own lunch time, and no one's referring to
anyone else in any sport where they're not don't have
a bit of a shot of the gold. And I'll
give you an instance that the britis, the BBC this
morning covered the kayak cross or whatever it's called, and
that their big headline was that there, you know, every

(26:39):
everybody thought they're pure dead sir to win it got
you know, only got the silver. But they didn't actually
mention who pipped them at the post.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
Of course, the Kiwi guy.

Speaker 10 (26:52):
They didn't mention them by name at all, but that
they may have updated it now. I looked at about
ten in the morning, but.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
There was nothing the way you must be at the
floating article to write. When there's a sure fire metal
doesn't get in and comes in, it's over. What do
you say because you can't say they're disappointed, because that's
demeaning the Olympics in the middle itself, isn't it. So yeah,
it's interesting.

Speaker 10 (27:14):
Yeah, but also because of family connections. I mean, I've
got family texts in Britain, so that's why I consume
the BBC, because the family connections. I read the Irish
Times a lot, and they're focusing on boxing, which is
a perennial Irish you know, one that they're good at,
particularly the women's boxing because they've got a couple of
contenders there and men's gymnastics. Would you believe because there's

(27:35):
one guy called Greece mc clanahan who's just won the
pommel horse event at the Olympics. Wow, that's what they're
concert So that's what they're concentrating on, and they're not
really constant. Oh and middle distance running. But in the
like of what your sports bulletin just said, they probably
won't be concentrating on that anymore because that woman got
pitted by the Kiwi, I think.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
But I do like it. I do like how true
to cultural stereotypes, the Cubans and the Irish seem to
be in the boxinging more than anyone else. The Cubans,
the religion and the Irish goodly are the fighting Irish.

Speaker 10 (28:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And then not only that, in
the French media, of course they've made much of that
guy in my Sean, the nineteen year old.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
Who won the full Gold Mills.

Speaker 10 (28:21):
And of course if anton DuPont wanted to stand for
the presidency, I think Antoine DuPont, sorry, I reckon some
party would come to the party and say, oh yeah,
please stand for us. And they're also making much play
of the football, where they're expected to do well and stuff.
And there are a couple of things where they crossover,

(28:42):
such as they all seem to mention Simone Biles and
they also today seem to mention that guy my sort
of namesake Lyles in the hundred meters. But in the
American media you wouldn't think there's any other country with America.
There is no reference to anybody else at all. And
in Australia they prostrated a lot on the on the

(29:04):
on the swimming last week, which is I suppose fair enough.
But I used to think, you know, last Olympics, I
was considering this, I was thinking this is a bad thing,
because you know, but I think it's quite a good
thing that every basically every Western country that's bigger than
San Marino or Andorra has a basically wins the metal
and everyone gives himself a collective pet on the back

(29:24):
and everyone feels better. Yes, I used to think it
was a bit chovinistic, but I think enough times are
hard and look.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
And I do think and I do think that the
Simon Bile story is extraordinary. There's someone that has been
in that tough world of gymnastics when they weren't even
allowed of personality. There was just incredibly disciplined. Of course too,
there was the team doctor that was abusing the athletes
and very poorly handled by the gymnastics federation. Then she

(29:56):
got the twisties and then she came Then she went there,
she came back, and the whole gymnastics team's changed. You
can see that they don't run back and sort of
hug the coach. They run back and and spend each
other with their with their teammates. The whole dynamic has changed,
and I think it's extraordinary to And of course they're
are older now because there's the interest in women's sports,

(30:16):
so in fact, yet to retire when you're sixteen you
couldn't afford it. Now you can pay you away with
you know, Instagram and whatever. So they're right into their
thirties now the gymnastics, which is amazing. So go then,
But yeah, I can hear you.

Speaker 10 (30:28):
I see too that there's an she's doing a sports
drink ad I saw a couple of weeks, a couple
of days ago, and it refers to her trials and
tribulations at the last Olympics and or so no, she's
she's she's absolutely calling it and they're sort of what
was five thousand dollars leotard or something.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
And they say it's Swakorski diamond and blazing leotard.

Speaker 10 (30:51):
That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, I just needed to
get that off my chest, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Nice to hear you back, Lyle. Nice to hear you
sounding well, Laureate's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Welcome see Marcus.

Speaker 11 (31:04):
Hey. Yeah, just the New Usually event with those couple
of kiwis in the in the sea in the canoe.
They only had to make it to the start. They
were only I think the New Zealand teams required to
end a certain number of teams into that to make
it the event, and so they those guys just had

(31:25):
to turn up for the start and that sort of
made the rest of the team was eligible to compete.
I mean, it does. It does seem strange.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
So are you saying that the kneeling there's no one
else wants to do it.

Speaker 11 (31:40):
It's a dud sport, right, No, it's pretty hard to make.
I mean it's pretty big up and obviously in Europe,
you know that's uh, that's where where the strength of
it is. They i mean, they expanded it after Rio
into the They dropped a number of the kayaking races
and and said they had to introduce a number of
canoe races basically, so it's sort of building up. But

(32:05):
I mean, I've got a daughter that competes for somehow
in the k one or has in Rio and Tokyo,
and currently she's a team manager up in Paris at
present for samunte But in the qualifying events before the
Olympics that both at a Tokyo and for the last

(32:25):
one for Paris, the Australian national selection, well what's called
the Aussie Nationals and the year prior to that. To
convert that into an international event so that they could
qualify paddlers for the Olympics, they had to have a
certain number of other national teams make up numbers. You know,

(32:48):
I think if you needed maybe four different other countries
that turned up the race and the Australian nationals with
and I had to do a certain number of events.
So I've got one one daughter that's serious about kayaking,
but the other daughter, on two occasions she's had she's
gone up just to make up the numbers being paid for.

(33:09):
The whole lot gets paid for by the Aussies, so
their accommodation, everything, She's only had to go up there,
do the ce one balance on the thing, just make
it to the start line penalty a little bit.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Laura, if I'm trying to understand what you're saying, it
seems as though to try and diversify the sport they've
gone for this kneeling, which which a number of people's
around the world would do. Is that what I've seen
people in Fiji on the bavelos that sort of propelled
them by that? Is it traditional in a number of
places that need in canoe style?

Speaker 11 (33:48):
Yeah? Yeah, I think I think even the Canadians and
the certainly I mean traditionally they might have done it
with and possibly certainly Europeans Hungarians are very big on
it and that sort of stuff, so they tried to
expand it. But yeah, I mean even Brazilian. Brazil was
quite good at it too. They had a couple of
really good guys. So they had really tried to divert

(34:11):
a number of the kayaking events in the canoe events
and to build it up. I've had to sort of encourage,
you know, team entries. But I mean that's the daughter
that's not really a peddle. Isshoes had a couple of
events which have been an international peddler, and she never
does it. The rest of time. We had to borrow
one and try and practice balancing. You know, it's difficult

(34:35):
to peddle that way on assimming pool here and PARMI
basically to at least at least they could make it
to the start and get a few strokes down the
course and it doesn't matter after that, you know, you
can fall off or whatever. But that made the event
an internationally acceptable. You had teams that could start. Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Didn't seem really pleasant for those two kiwis to finish
so far back. That seems wrong to me. The chuck
them in sport. They don't even qualified for a want
to do because that.

Speaker 11 (35:08):
Guy, one of the guys that he he'd just done
the K four just prior to that. Hey, the next brown,
I think I think he's.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
In the K four and the check him in there
ye crazy?

Speaker 11 (35:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, well you get to I mean
technically he's only got to make it out to the
start line and then a few strokes down. But that
sort of ticked the box basically. I think that's how
that works.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
There are so they're trying to grow a sport that
not many countries are into. Is that the snapshot of it?

Speaker 11 (35:35):
Yeah? I think that's that's that that seemed to be
what it's about, because it is it's a lot more
difficult to paddle a canoe, you know, canoe style kneeling
with one one with one blade and then you know
sort of sitting down and using the double blades on
the kayak. Yeah it's yeah, it's it's quite difficult.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
But so where are where are the where are the sarmuans?
What what are their events that your daughter's managing? Are
they getting on the water.

Speaker 11 (36:01):
Yeah, they'll be on the K one tomorrow, okay, short
of course five hundred stuff like that, Yeah, yeah, just
there's just two of them. Yeah, but yeah, see one
is any difficult thing to do. It's but yeah, they should.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Have had a Daniel boone Haet because I think he
was in one of those where the pedal wasn't it.
He did look good in one of those going through
the every dayes or one of those programs I watched
the child.

Speaker 11 (36:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a difficult technique, but but
you get those. I mean see the Europeans, you know,
and usually great big guys, you know, great a hell
of a reach. They can sort of reach long forward,
way forward and drag it back. It's I mean it
looks but it's done well, it's it's.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
You need you need good. You need to tune your
core on to wonder you need. The core would be tight,
they'll keep your balance.

Speaker 11 (36:49):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's right, you know, the big strong buggers. Yeah.
But yeah, so that might explain a little bit about it.
What that was about.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, okay, that ridiculous. Well the commentator didn't even know
they were there. He thought that the commentator thought they
tapped out. But because what did they what did they
start so badly? Well, they got a right at the end,
but the the rest of them went. They were actually
they were actually motionless in the water for the first
twenty seconds.

Speaker 11 (37:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, they probably just trying to get
their balance, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Can understand it, like me on the Swiss ball. Thank you, Laurie.
Eighteen past nine. My name is Marcus. Welcome hitdled twelve.
Have we reached peak pizza? Why is this with everyone
eating pizza the whole time? You go to all work
do It's always pizza, isn't it? Don't even know what
we had before pizza, meat pies. Maybe anyway, it was
kind of interested in the anthropological basis of this. It's

(37:45):
all pizza and chicken these days, isn't it. Did see
the end the other day for the chicken Big mec.
I thought, wow, they're really doubbling down on chicken, aren't they.
McDonald's and god is what they thought at KFC when
they had so much succession with the chicken nuggets. You
think they would be KFC's brief Oh no, sleep at

(38:06):
the wheel, although I think pretty much, and maybe that's
why everyone was buying pizza the right home watching the Olympics.
I think that might be a thing. I don't know
what the viewing figures are like because people don't know
where they watch them now. But this maya Ramsten what
a sensational finished for her in the fifteen hundred heat.

(38:27):
That was gold, and we shouldn't get gold for her
to get sixth without exerting, because don't want to empty
your tank in the heats. If I was there, I
wouldn't empty a tank in the heats. One of the
great expressions if I was there, is it? Because none
of us are there, I'll just google which countries eat
the most pizza? It would be, you said, wouldn't it.

(38:50):
You just see our mauls dominated with pizza anyway, No, Norway.
Ten countries are consumed the most pizza. Norway. I don't
know how that worked that out. By the way, twenty
three past nine, we've got more canoeing this hour. The
men's peers on it. We'll keep that for you. If

(39:11):
you want to talk on air tonight eight hundred eighty
eight eighty nine to nine to anything else you got
going around in your head, let's hear it. Well, I
mean that within reason, but jumping. If you are on
a talk on air tonight, it's all about everything. Yes,
By the way. I think the what I've seen the

(39:33):
coverage of the Olympics has been fairly good and it
hasn't been too I think the news it I think
the New Zealing coverage has been really fair. It hasn't
been too aren't we amazing? I think it's been quite
considered coverage, which I'm always mindful for because I think
in the past we can be a bit jingeristic. We

(39:54):
can get obsessed, slightly obsessed about our medals per head
of population, which I always think is slightly desperate that
we're looking for things to congratulate ourselves about it, because
basically it's not us that's competing, it's the athletes we
have to claim all the country. Yeah, being welcome.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
Yeah, I'm just ring up about the pizza Hut if
you and donor, isn't it if you don't the app
and you order it online through the cliff In collect
system that I've got you quite often good deals, like
they'll send your emails and it's like you might get
fifty percent off on a Friday or two for one
deals on a Wednesday, and they do it quite regularly,

(40:39):
normal weekly, So you know, we get a two for
one on a Tuesday if you're going and the ring
on the phone. But the app seems to be a
lot better.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
So it seems with pizza, this pizza, this cavalcade of pizza,
the fact that we're reading more pizza every eat before
would be a combination of they're good at using apps
that works quite well for them, doesn't it.

Speaker 8 (41:02):
It does like even KFCs, I'm doing the app. We
use the quite regularly CAFC because it's normally shut up.
On a Friday night drive through, it's like a half
an hour drive through, and even if you go and
you wait on line half an hour. So we just
did the quick and collect on the app and you
go straight in and you walk straight up where the
uber drivers go and I'll stop serving everyone else and

(41:24):
they'll serve you. A lot of people get quite mad
with it because they like, you jump in the line,
but you're really ordered and paid before you've even got there,
and you just keep giving them a time for beat
here at that.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Time cheap as you're like, this is like a call
from the future. Yeah, so pizza, you got the app
which works so well, and of course too, the thing
about pizza, you can throw any our box chucket in
the car, anyone in their old uber and you're delivering
its fight. It's the most transportable food, isn't it, Whereas
KFC doesn't transport that word problems. It gets all steamy
and the skin separates from the meat.

Speaker 8 (41:56):
Right Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do KFC pizza. Yeah, and
pizza's cheap like compe to all the other takeaways.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
She really reasonable because of a price war, whereas KFC
has a price war because you've got Domino's and Pizza Hat.
It's classic and you've got your Hell's in there. It's
a classic a it just gets cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.

Speaker 8 (42:18):
Yeah, I'll notice here's I think they only do look
a five dollar range anymore. It's normally like a tax
of similar range. It's only different. Yeah, thanks, it's gone
up like it's good.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
But when you see the price of cheese amazes me.
They can do pizzas under ten dollars anyway. I don't
know how much cheese would be. I don't know what
the cheese value compu it would be, but they do it.
I mean they can't. It's a volume. It's a mess
of volume. Game. Pizza Hat, you'd imagine, wouldn't you. Yeah,
I think you're just cutting out.

Speaker 8 (42:55):
Of it magins, but you know, very popular. We try
and do pizza once a week. Just kill the price.
It's so much cheaper.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
How many in your family.

Speaker 8 (43:08):
I've got me, my wife and my son and I've
got to step through it, which she comes. She comes
every weekend.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So so you're done and dusted for how you've done
dust and quite reasonably with all your apps and your
add ons and extras, wouldn't you.

Speaker 8 (43:20):
Well, I've see so much money through, you know, the
apps because obviously quite often Friday they've got the bow
and get one half of us and stuff, so it's
quite good there. And then just if we do get care.
So it's mainly because I don't want to get some
and drive through for half an hour. I want to
just walk in and grab it and walk out within
a couple of minutes. Like I said that it does.
I've had arguments with people who have been in line

(43:43):
for half an hour going while you jump in the line.
But at the end of the day, it's you know,
already paid. I've ordered the time slot is what it is,
and they.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Just get when they said time sort of you got
five minutes to pick it up. What do they give you?

Speaker 8 (44:00):
Well, you too, You pick what time you want to
pick it up. If you want to pick it up,
that fire's six thirty seven, you can pick tongue you
pick it up?

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Wow, like an hour do you put an how do
you put five minutes?

Speaker 8 (44:13):
It just gives you tongue sots. It's like fifteen minute
timeslots like a lot. Yeah, and so you can just pick.
But you can order it the day before and then
pay the day before. And so I want to pick
it up at five pm tomorrow night because there ain't
so many timeslots available, and when they go then you've
got to wait.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Okay, very interesting. I'd actually find that more interesting. You
can imagine who knew you could alorader a chicken the
day before? If you're pretty organized a rooster to do that.
There's a chicken put, isn't there? Didn't even intend that?

Speaker 5 (44:46):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Fancy goodness? Because it looks carnage on the road. I
see it outside KFC. Because the farmers come to town
for KFC. There must be part of farming. When you
go out today, they will actually feel like caves. And
they come with their double cab boots. There must be
a certain time of whether all the farmers won is
kavs I noticed that we're talking about the absolute pizza

(45:14):
carnage that's happening out there. Gone from forty years ago
to the occasional sort of Italian pizza joint, I guess
you'd call them that, to these days, two of the
big chains, and just such so much pizzas, so many
pizza shops, so much pizzas. What's that about? And whence

(45:36):
it stop?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Now?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
You got the apps? Of course with the specials. What
happens in ten years time? If you'll get sick of pizza?
There's a trainer that something's happening permanently. See what I
don't reckon? It's taking off. That's Taco's. You got your
taco bell. You never hear anyone talking about it. You
don't feel drawn to Taco Bell? Always sounds to me
a but sort of always sounds to me. Don't get

(46:00):
this the wrong. I always think Taco Bell, it's all
going to fall apart on me. Too much stuff jammed
in together. Yeah, I don't don't like that anyway. Get
in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome the Olympics. On
and on it goes. Loved it, loving all of it.
I think in five more days are we through with it,
looking forward to the end of it, looking forward to

(46:22):
the marathon. Jti Marcus, Welcome, good.

Speaker 12 (46:25):
Evening, Hello Marcus, It's always good to talk fast food
with you. Pizza no one, No one's mentioned Cells sells pizza.
That's the fourth probably biggest brand in the country. But
the holy grail for pizza is to have a drive through,

(46:50):
and no one's perfected it yet. But Lebron James has
got a pizza chain called Blaze Pizza and they are
using superheaded ovens at eight hundred degrees celsius to bring
the cooking time down to around two minutes from eight
minutes roughly.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (47:11):
So the ovens are basically it's wiser temperature. So that's
cunning plan, isn't it, Because you know at the moment
pizza places and there's hardly any subways that have drive through.
Is the museum and there's a couple of them, I think, yes.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
The one that laver Cargo near the prison has a
drive through works quite well. I'm surprised how well it
works because as a lot of questions goes okay, and
I never thought of this. How did you become aware
of this? That the Holy Grail was drived through?

Speaker 12 (47:43):
Because you're right, because I go under this website and
it's called QSR Quick what is it? Cook Serve restaurant
magazine online website from America and they have a lot
of the new developments in fast food. The four biggest
chains of pizza in America that we don't have here.

(48:06):
I don't know if you've heard of them, Little Caesars,
Papa John's California Pizza, and Papa.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Murphy's and sALS is slightly different because sALS cook them
and have them on display kind of so you can
take a slice of it hot, which I always think
sort of. I mean they're in Mals. It doesn't really work,
I don't think.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
Yeah, Wallas, their business model is to have walk in
customers because they're in locations where you can't have a
drive through, and they sell pizza by the piece. Yeah,
and it's because it's New York style. They're really big,
really quite big pieceas I made. So that's just their stock,

(48:51):
isn't it. That's their market.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
There was quite an interesting article in the odt or
Stuff website recently about a guy that's got a pizza
joint in Dunedin and they've developed New Zealand's biggest pizza
and he's had.

Speaker 12 (49:14):
Part of them, not a limousine.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
He's had to get a school saw out to cut
slots on the doors to get them out.

Speaker 12 (49:32):
Out of what.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Out of the kitchen?

Speaker 12 (49:38):
How big are they?

Speaker 2 (49:40):
It's a thirty two inch pizza.

Speaker 12 (49:43):
So they's just done the three feet and yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
And how wide's a door two for eight.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
Nine?

Speaker 12 (49:54):
Maybe? But we haven't heard anything about Popeyes lately either.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
No disappeared, hipees over over hyped, and no one talks
about it.

Speaker 12 (50:06):
Well, I think there's only still that one attack and
then he but I think they're opening the second in
Tapo and the third and Hamilton or something. There's another
couple of another couple of brands of pizzas they have
in America, Old Chicago because of course New York Chicago,
and like California, they have their own Over the decades,

(50:27):
they've developed their own pizza styles, which is quite amazing,
isn't it? Did it so they come out of it?

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Does say the magazine you read if Lebron's pizza company
has been successful with it to drive through. Is that
working or it's still in the infancy.

Speaker 12 (50:42):
I haven't looked on there for the last probably ten
months or so, but they started off at about one
hundred locations and I think they're up to four hundred,
so they seem to be going pretty well. But I
think they're trying to do walking locations as well, so
they're having that that's not all drive through. They're going
to have two different formats of stores because because that's

(51:04):
the thing about pizza Hutch fast food chains, you've got
to in some respect, you have to tailor to the
local market. What will work on the East coast of
America might not work on the West coast.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
And also, sing you see in all the pizza Huts
pizza Huts locations, they're probably not ones that can quickly
adapt to drive through because a lot of them are
on strip malls as well, so they're not ready for that.

Speaker 12 (51:30):
Different means, you know. I think it started off. I
think it was The Stones, and then it was like
Eagle Boys, Pizza Haven. I've been quite a few different
names over the years.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
All bought out by the biggest JT. Nice to talk,
Thank you for Pauline Marcus.

Speaker 13 (51:46):
Welcome, Hello Marcus Marcus. Did you watch the pole vaulting
this morning?

Speaker 2 (51:53):
No, it is asleep.

Speaker 13 (51:55):
Okay, I'll just tell you very briefly. It was most
unusual by the person who was the champion pole vaulter
one goal, and he was brought up in the USA,
but his mother's home country is Sweden, so he was
representing that. I think that's the right country. Anyway, by

(52:16):
the time they had gone through all the people trying
to do the pole vaulting, he obviously came out won
the gold medal, and he said, right, I've actually I've
actually got a personal record of six point twenty four meters.
How about I have a go at actually jumping high
than that. Well, I'm here right now. Leave the bar up,

(52:38):
We'll have a go at it. He tried twice and
clipped it with his hand, one time clipped it with something.
He walks across to his coach and they're both looking
at his performance on the phone. He goes and has
a little message with his back messager and he says,
leave it up at six point twenty five. I've done

(52:58):
six point twenty four in the past, and he makes
it and the crowds went wild and I thought, this
is brilliant. This man has shared a record breaking moment
with the people in Paris and it's never been No
one's ever pole vaulted that I like before and I

(53:20):
was thrilled.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Yeah, and the administration, the people, the clipboard and all,
they were happy with him to go ahead and do that.
They were supportive, Yes, yes, they were.

Speaker 13 (53:33):
Well it's a great crowd puller, isn't it. Absolutely Yeah,
that's all. Thanks Marcus.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Love you to hear from your Pauline. Thank you for that, Marcus.
I was late to your shown. I heard the man
say there's only a couple of subway drive throughs. That
got me thinking. I wondered if there are if there
had been many drive through banks in New Zealand. There
was a benz Ed Branch and Lower Hut when I
emigrated here in twenty twenty three, Mary, there isn't there

(54:04):
is a drive through bank, and in the cargyl I
think it's way key, But the bank is now closed
and the money machine is still there, although there's another
company there, so it's not quite as fluid as it
once was. Ectual, it's a bit of a dad. I've
decided saying that the last time I went through, I

(54:26):
think came through the wrong way and it came into
a pretty tal difficult intersection. Was sort of slightly problematic
for me. I can't quite remember why one way system
or something like that. We don't have drive through. Well,
I guess people don't need the ATM machines now anymore,
because why would you drive through for cash? You're better
off just doing a I see the Reserve Bank is

(54:49):
going to develop a digital currency by twenty thirty back
by the government. No that's good or bad. It's got
some people that are freaked out by the way I
am limiting the things. I get freaked out by Pete Marcus.

(55:10):
Someone sent me an email. Pizza vending Machines Pizza vending
machine Pizza Express stands as New Zealand's premiere and exclusive
pizza vending machine, delivering streaming, hot, steaming hot pizza in
just three to five minutes. Revel in the enticing, aroma

(55:34):
and authentic taste of Italian pizza craft with a fires
fresh ingredients available at your fingertips anytime day, night, three
six eight Queen Street, Costa Is seven ninety nine Pizza
Wow Pizza Express's first hot pizza of vening machine. Is
it any good? Three six eight Queen Street. I don't

(55:58):
quite know, quite not. The layoff of that is if
it's a I'll google streets at three six eight Queen Street,
I'll street view it. I don't know if it's in
the wall or just I'm on street view of three
six at Queen Street. It's all those tiny little shops

(56:23):
up the top. I think it must be a new thing.
It doesn't appear to be in the video where I'm
looking at. It makes sense, doesn't it? A pizza vending
machine up near the RTA Center opposite the town Hall.
That's where that is. It appears to be newer than

(56:47):
Google Maps. Huh. I don't know if they're a worldwide thing.
And that's a peculiar thing to New Zealand might be
deadly common. And when do we get to peak pizza? Everyone?

Speaker 6 (56:59):
Just do?

Speaker 2 (56:59):
I just can't believe how much of it people are.
It's come cheaper and cheaper and cheaper and more and
more prevalent everywhere. How many pizza each a week could
be millions? Would it? Every time you go to a work,
do there's always someone willing out a pizza, mainly because
it's so easy as transport. I think it's the ultimate

(57:21):
takeaway food for not sure, not for dietary reasons, but
certainly for the fat you can deliver and it's still
kind of edible. Iron fish and chips, well they you
feel for the poor chippy, now, don't you. Price of fish,
price of potatoes must be doing it tough, Roger, Marcus. Welcome,

(57:43):
good evening, are you doing Marcus?

Speaker 14 (57:46):
Good?

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Thank you, Roger.

Speaker 15 (57:49):
Actually, just while you're on the freshing chips, I make
and usually make fresh and chips on a Friday night
for myself from a partner, either as a burger or
just the actual fresh and chips. I get blue cord
and pin cod, crammer and yeah, and we get Coomera
chips and lights and that's the chips a Friday night.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Do you get frozen blue cord, Roger, Yeah.

Speaker 15 (58:16):
I do, but I've taken out usually in the morning.
So there's a place in christ Each here that you
can buy eight hundred grams of mood cod for around
fifty dollars, which is super cheap. Yeah, and it's fine,
But with the pizzas, what I do is I'll go

(58:37):
to New Will, and I'll buy one of the pizzas
from there. Example is the smoke chicken with cashew nut
and april coop flavoring. I guess you'd call it, and
what I and has suspended baby spinach with it too,

(58:57):
And what I discovered is that you can buy all
that in the supermarket. So by buy the pizza, and
then I buy an extra chicken cheese, and the apricot
that they use is actually a relish and it's exactly
the same. So I bread it and then I put
extra on and then at some other hoods and spices

(59:21):
water foods actually, and then sauce and then cover with
mozzarella cheese and cook it in the advance made.

Speaker 12 (59:30):
My wife says Roger, Roger.

Speaker 9 (59:33):
What.

Speaker 15 (59:35):
Roger Rison, that's what you And the other thing my
last in the day morning I made acquata breakfast, but
which cheese, h brown egg and avocado. And I've done

(59:55):
Mcroger's massis as well.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Roger if Roger Riyser, you Roger Yser, if you're going
through and buying the pizza with the chicken and the
cashoes and the mozzarella and the apricot relish, and then
you're buying the chicken and the mozzarella and the cashews
and the apricot relish. Why don't you just make your
pizzas from scratch if you're buying all that stuff.

Speaker 15 (01:00:18):
Anyway, Well, yeah, you could do that, but I find
the bases are a lot better. Okay, I don't think
you can't buy the particular basement there. They don't have
that I can find.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
And that's a new world, is it, Roger?

Speaker 15 (01:00:34):
Yes you well, yeah, yeah, I've done it with a
lot of things, like their baninis and there I've copied
the baninis as well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Goodness, everyone's looking for a new world. In the morning,
could you change his name from Roger to Roger Eyser?
Thanks Dan, the Roger Riser. Good evening, John, AT's Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:00:56):
Welcome, Hey Marcus, So I reckon, Melbourne's the best place
in the world for pizza.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Goodness, you must be well traveled, you must be well tred.

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
Well, let me tell you that, Marcus. I've traveled the
world and I've bought pizzas around the world, even in Italy,
and Melbourne is the king of the pizza I reckon,
and I've actually got uh pizza at the railway station
you know, and the dispenser's you can buy them in

(01:01:27):
the railway station in Melbourne.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Really like a machine.

Speaker 7 (01:01:32):
Vending machines here. That's it and wow, there'll be more
for a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
What's your food special? Did you? I watch your go
to pizza in New Zealand.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
Oh, you can't buy pizza in New Zealand. They don't
know how to make pizza in New zal Right, then
I had to make pizza here. I'll tell you what.
Every person that makes pizza in New Zealand should go
to Melbourne and see how they make it. They would
learn something, I can tell you, you know. And you've got
all the Greeks, the Italians or Lebanese, the Indians that

(01:02:07):
make pizza and barth thriving. And you know, the best
pizza I've had in Melbourne. I would have been to
a hundred pizza places in Melbourne, maybe more. The best
pizza I've had in Melbourne, do you know what? It's
made by the Indian. The Indians, they make the best
pizza I've had in Melbourne. And I've been to the

(01:02:28):
Italian pizza eas the Greeks and the Lebanese and that,
and there's a pizza place in Epping, and I'll tell
you what. I don't think they realize how good they are,
absolutely unbelievable pizza to die for. And I mean all
around Australia. I've been all around Australia. I've tried pizza

(01:02:50):
and Perth and Fremantle. There's one there called Rocco's that's
an Italian place. But you still can't beat the Melbourne pizza.
You know, you've got Lapa Cheta over there. They're not
too bad. But you know, there's a chain of La
Chetta all around Australia. But the Italian pizzerias aren't too bad.

(01:03:11):
But as I say, the Indian make a real good
pizza in Melbourne. It's a shame they couldn't make a
nice base here, you know, in the filling. They just
haven't got it right here yet. You know, what do
you go to?

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
What do you go to? Takeaways here?

Speaker 6 (01:03:29):
Here?

Speaker 11 (01:03:30):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:03:33):
Oh not? Well maybe Chinese? I suppose you know I
don't like the pizzas. Yeah, but I'll tell you one thing.
Fish and chips here are cheap compared with Australia. Is
that right? What we'd pay you say, twenty dollars here
for fish and chips cost you fifty in Australia, so expensive. Wow,
and they're not as good as here?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Which which as you go to fish and chip shok, John,
where about are you? I'm in on the Winton okayish
and chips.

Speaker 7 (01:04:04):
Yeah, I don't often have fis some trips here really
but no, it's a shame. They don't make a good
pizza here. I mean, you've got you know, Hell Pizza
New York Pizza here. The names sound good, but the
pizza doesn't look good. You know, it's a shame. I
mean whenever I buy a pizza here, but I must say,
whenever I buy pizza here, I always get a small

(01:04:27):
pizza because I know it'll turn out to be a disaster.

Speaker 12 (01:04:30):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
You don't stop trying, though, which is good for you?

Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Now? I keep trying until I find the right one.
But I've been from from bluff Per the top of
an orfil and here and I stall of them found
a perfect pizza in New Zealand. Yet I really haven't.
I don't know, you know. I mean, and maybe a
lot of people don't understand what a good pizza is.
I mean they buy dominoes and pizza hut. But to me,
I wouldn't call that pizza, you know, I mean, it's

(01:04:58):
just a bit of big cheese on the coast.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
What about one of those ones? And like a wood
fire at oven, like the traditional ones.

Speaker 7 (01:05:06):
I ever would fire ones? And I say, they're pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Have you tried one of those?

Speaker 7 (01:05:11):
I tried hundreds of them. Yeah, they're perfect, lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
But not but none of is even that you've liked.

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
Well. As I said, I don't know how to make
of me. But I've got the wrong base. The base
isn't right, and they don't put enough filling on them.
The fable where's pizza I've ever had? And I still
never get my head around it. I was at Auckland
Airport and there's a restaurant now I forget the name
of it. And I said to me, boy says doing
a pizza. Boy says, oh, yeah, you know. I answered,

(01:05:41):
we'll give it a go. And I bought this pizza
and it cost me thirty five dollars. And when they
bought it over to our table and they put it
on the table, my boy looked at me and I
looked at him, and do you know what it was?

Speaker 8 (01:05:55):
Was?

Speaker 7 (01:05:55):
It was a pizza base and I had one green
leaf on it, and I said to me, boy, where's
the topping? He says, I don't know. I thought got
to be joking.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Okay, maybe maybe you've got a different view of pizzas
that other people have got a view. Have you tried
Dante's pizzas in Auckland?

Speaker 7 (01:06:16):
Don't?

Speaker 11 (01:06:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:06:16):
I cried then, Yet I still know as good as Melbourne?

Speaker 16 (01:06:20):
Where about?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Whereabouts did you try them?

Speaker 7 (01:06:24):
Uh? You know around the waterfront near what's it called? Yeah,
Mission Bay, that's it. Yeah. I've even tried the pizza
place in the Desert Road or there was an Italian
family there, nice people, but the pizza is still not

(01:06:45):
as good as Melbourne. You can't beat Melbourne because I've
even I've been to America. Crowd places in America, but
they're not as good as Melbourne. You know, even in
Italy Greek I mean a pizza started from originally from Greece,
but the Italian made them better.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Have you try a pizza in India.

Speaker 7 (01:07:09):
I haven't been to India, but they'll tell you what
They make a good pizza in Preston. These Indians make
it man unbelievable, really nice. You know, and when you
buy it into the pizza, it's punchy, you know, and
the bass is just absolutely unbelievable. And they use mainly

(01:07:32):
a sour dough which is a for their base sourd
I don't know if you've eaten sour dough pizza, but
really nice, of absolutely nice. And you get two big
pizzas and I'm talking too big pizzas for eighteen dollars,
you know. Eighteen dollars for two big pizzas. You know,

(01:07:56):
they're quite cheap. But you've got some of these pizza
places over there around about four or five o'clock, and
you want to see the herber drivers peas of them,
you know, picking up pizzas and and that so busy.
It's big business over there compared with here. Well, I
suppose you've got the population of course even there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Really nice to talk to you, John, Thank you for
every much for that. I don't thin we're going to
convince John about pizza. I think John's going to own
set views.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Over one hundred and twenty meters to Go and the
women's kayak double five hundred. Carrington and Hoskin Carrington were
along with regult Has the World's best time, i e.
The world, the Olympic best time as well as one
thirty five point seven eight. As New Zealand just easing

(01:08:43):
into their work and are coming down to the finish line.
New Zealand will cross in first position, half a boat
length ahead of Belgium Worth Hungary in third place, so
easily qualifying Carrington and Hoskin for the semi finals of
the women's kayak double fires.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
It's a situation there with the Lisa Carrington and Alisia
Hoskin certainly qualifying for the next stage. Lad from start
to finish as they did in the four also to
twenty four past ten. So try and enjoy that commentary.
But kind you wonder when John's going to just decide

(01:09:28):
you did a pizzas not for him? Exchange yourself or
change the world? John the cheapest. He's tried a lot
of pizzas. It must always be disappointed because I kind
of imagine what that pizza was like at the airport,
like quite a stripped back one like some of them

(01:09:50):
are these days. Were just sort of a bit of
bazel on it. But yeah, there we go. I hope
he's polite to the people that make them, are not
going back and saying, this is not a pizza you
want to go to Melbourne? Unbelievable. Wow. Lots of gestions
for John about where he should go, but I reckon

(01:10:12):
if he went to those places, he probably wouldn't be happy.
He's just not into our pizzas. And people are pretty
triggered by the Roger Riser. Roger lives on a different

(01:10:33):
planet making pizza that complicated, a little alone apricot on
a pizza.

Speaker 16 (01:10:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
I love about Roger. I love about how he's got
his wife in his corner and she loves what he does.
She calls him the Gerasa. Marcus benz Head recorded christ
you had to drive through ten I used to work.
There was always super busy, lots of business with cash
making deposits that were sixteen years ago. We used cash
and technology wasn't his like now. We gave up lollipops

(01:11:01):
to kids and dog biscuits to dogs in the cars
because there was a while there was dry through. Everything
was drived through Church, wasn't there? Marc has just tuned
and has anybody mentioned pizza's at Epic tap Room on
He hung a really good genumy large fore tasty options
we're not really talking about go mate, We're just talking

(01:11:22):
about the cheap and cheerful. The fact that everyone is
eating so much pizza and so much domino. I think
it's probably overtaken fish and chips by now. I don't
know where I can see the pie chart. But now
at pizza out there, get this giant boxes which are
a foot long. Now they're a meter long. Well, who
wants that?

Speaker 17 (01:11:44):
I know?

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Who's eating it? All work functions. Probably it's called a
slab pizza. I've never seen it, but I've never seen
the ads for it. But it's not in a round box.
It's in an oblong box. I've just tried to Google
on the website, but now I got a stupid click
on where my addresses. I'm not going to tell you
that it's look got what these stupidly large pizzas are. No,

(01:12:11):
I don't want you to. I don't not going to
tell you my address. I just want to see your website.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Block.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
No, your location allow, I'm too far in now. I
don't want to buy one this way. Please do not
liking technology today. I just want to see what the
meater long ones are called? People, and why you wants
someone that big. That's all. I don't want to I

(01:12:38):
don't want to order any now. I'll tap pick up.
Shouldn't have to order one to have a lock. Can
you get into a I'm going to give up on
this anyway. Twenty seven past ten, we will have the
women's next heat when that comes. That's with Amy Fisher

(01:13:00):
and Lisa Mattahiti. That will be coming up just after
the headlines. Also, that's the food heat of the K
two five hundred, the second featuring a New Zealanders. So
it's all happening. Marcus absolutely work shouts waysy with pizza.

(01:13:21):
No barbecues are clean or tidy up. That's at the
pizza work shout. They call the long one a limo
or someone said that, didn't they comes with chipsets the highlight.
I think someone was saying limo. I didn't know what
they're talking Who was saying limo? There was someone saying limit.

(01:13:42):
Do to know what they're talking about? As Ben was it?

Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:13:45):
Ben?

Speaker 14 (01:13:46):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Would you know what? Ben needs a podcast on fast foods?
We need to ethanize him because he was unbelievable with
him and his son and the step daughter and the
wife and seshaing into KFC because he'd booked a slot
like a guy from the future. Ye, very impressed with him.

(01:14:11):
The limo. I still can't find the pizza Pizza Hut
and without having to type in my address, which is
frustrating on all sorts of levels. Never seen the advertised either.

(01:14:36):
I can't click on it just comes up with my address.
Oh there it is. Wow. Oh you got different flavors
in the limo. It's not all one flavor. It's like
like a click the set. Gee, how are you going? People? Welcome?

(01:14:57):
I guess we can compare the times too, between Amy Fisher,
Lista Mattahai and Lisa Carrington and Lisha Hoskin, because they
might end up going against one another kind of the
way it goes these days. Ah with the old kayaking.
We'll have the next heat just after the headlines. If

(01:15:18):
you want to talk on their pizzas, when's it gonna stop?
I wouldn't mind seeing what the fast food sharer is
because I think certainly pizzas are overtaken burgers, because burgers
not good in the car, but pizza very good. Marcus,
Why do they put a round pizza in a square box?

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Well, that would be because it's hard to fold a
round box. How would you even make a round box?
I regalize you to go on an envelope around the
envelope like slip them in like a sleeve. Then the
cheese might get on top. Fanac have been called a limo.
I never knew that it was called a limo. They

(01:16:01):
say Dominoes is the brand leader above Pizza Hut. It's
according to a quick survey for me. But yeah, I
don't know who the brand leader is. We never had
anyone talking about Taco Bell. Dominoes does a round box,
and they do a decadent base. It's five dollars. I
get the seven ham and cheese with it. It's the

(01:16:23):
best pizza I've ever had. Thank you, Marcus. Dominoes does
a round box. What's a decadent base?

Speaker 6 (01:16:30):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
I mean, I don't eat pizza, but when they all
start doing like cheese and the crust and stuff, I'm
not a big fan of that. It's all a bit
gimmicky to me. The only thing I like about Dominoes,

(01:16:52):
right is that, once upon a time, if you had
a Domino's restaurant, you like this JD. Once upon a
time've had a Dominoes restaurant in the States, and you
sold million dollars worth of pizza, you would get a

(01:17:12):
Domino's Rolex, which is unheard of because rolex never really
do commercial meshups, and they're quite sought after. The Domino's Rolex.
They've got a little Domino on the front of them,
and you see them on eBay quite often. Presume a

(01:17:35):
lot of them are fakes and well worth buying, and
that's a watch bucket list for me. I suppose I
could buy one, but I'd like to kind of chance
upon one. I kind of wish now that i'd listen
more to the Roger Riser with the other things that
he was making. I'd like him on a podcast too,

(01:17:55):
with a different restaurant hes because it's quite polarizing with text.
The Roger Rizer, Marcus Roger rise was on the money
buying good pizza based premade with that opace to really
on best for cutting loose creativity on toppings. It's fast,
it's gourmet, is just fifteen minutes one and your Gordon Ramsey.

(01:18:16):
So the Roger Eyeser buys a gourmet pizza with smoked chicken,
apricot and cashew nuts and then goes around the supermarket
and buys smoked chicken cashew nuts and the apricot relish
did he buys the spinaches something when there might be

(01:18:37):
some greens on there, and he doubles up so it
kind of accentuates what's on it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
What a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Theffing around its? It's fantastic. He rogerizes it. But he
said some long thing about what he does with a
like a breakfast muffin or something, the Roger Ezer. I
wouldn't mind hearing him, but from him or from him?
I mean, I don't have people on here twice, but
maybe if you could text me something about that. Which

(01:19:12):
are the talkback callers ever in history? You'd like to
do their podcast? I wonder about that? What about that
guy says I'll cut this one short. I'll cut the short,
and then goes on for days. I'll just keep this short.
It's one of my favorite talkback techniques. Always that competition

(01:19:36):
when you're younger, when you try and bring up talkback stations,
says say it cans down the longer, but what you longest.
But what you've always got to say is I'll keep
the short. Then you just go on and on and on.
Whe are that pizza to that long box? But yeah's
it all going to end?

Speaker 8 (01:19:52):
All this?

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
I mean, are we at peak pizza? That's my question
of kind of answering asking good evening, Phillip's Marcus here, welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:20:01):
I will actually keep this quick. So you get all
your your regular toppings and bowls ready to put your pizza,
and you're making a pizza. You get the base and
then you get a banana that's quite ripe, not a
green banana, but not a not a banana cake banana.
The reason it'side banana smeirrit with ntella. Place it on
the edge of the pizza bass, about an inch inch

(01:20:22):
and a halfen from one edge. Then you grab the
edge and roll it over the banana and with a
noella on a pinch it down on itself. And then
you cover the balance of the bass with your intended topics.
So you and you put that in the oven. When
it comes like you've got your main course and can
dessert all in one, and the banana within the within

(01:20:44):
the telera on it is just it's just so good.
You're really into the banoffi cake. It's there's basically what
it is. I can't believe that there aren't more pizza,
you know, creative pizza ideas around like this, and I
think there's a lot of you know, I see a
lot of Domino's pizza healthy as a kid, and I

(01:21:06):
just wouldn't You couldn't pay any to eat one. Now
you just stodge and all that few sauce and whatever
that orange stuff is that help pizza users just revolting.
They're just overdoing the you know, you just end up
kind of.

Speaker 6 (01:21:21):
Feeling.

Speaker 16 (01:21:22):
I think I don't know how anyone could eat it
unless they're starving or intoxicated. That's my opinion and not
the opinion of Marcus Lush from news Talk.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
But I just what I liked about you, Philo, is
how you said you're going to keep the short but
you couldn't help yourself because you've got.

Speaker 7 (01:21:39):
To disdain for them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
But what I like mainly, what I like mainly about.

Speaker 14 (01:21:43):
You, what I like mainly about you is with that
childlike wonder of putting the banana and the teller inside there,
and how exciting that would be as a child, having
your pizza in the dessert all on that same kind
of thing.

Speaker 16 (01:21:59):
That is class Yeah, No, you've got to try and
market it's it's not only a good pizza, but I
like to bre's this opportunity. I think there's, you know,
a little gourmet pizza places out there that just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
They should be putting banana in the teller. I'm hearing you, fell,
thank you. I caught some caught some synchronized swimming out
of the water. That's the crazy thing for me is
when they synchronize out of the water. I thought they
would have pulled time on synchronized swim, but here they
all go one zooms up, then they're all back down again,
zoom up, very synchronized. This is China, eight of them

(01:22:43):
in the water. Good evening. Timmt's Marcus Welcome Marcus Pizza.

Speaker 17 (01:22:51):
Yeah, you know, I'm not too sure. If you're quite
heavy with social media. A lot of those athletes at
the Olympic Village have been posting about the pizza and
the food court on TikTok and Instagram, and it seems
to me that the pizza is quite revolting, probably because

(01:23:13):
it looks like some of the pizza they sell it
peg and save so But for myself, I'm quite big
on dessert pizzas eh, they've got the cookie pie pizza hut.
But also what your last caller was alluding to. Just

(01:23:33):
you know, I don't know if you've been to France lastually,
but they have this pizza over there where they've got
creeps on it and all sorts of the kind of delicacies.
It looks a bit revolting it first, but when you
taste it, it's a bit like, I don't know, it's
a bit like a cake.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Yeah, I have been to Paris and France. I don't
know that I had the pizza. I mean yeah, I mean, look,
I'm excited when you say you like dessert pizza. Yes,
because that said without judgment, so go you. But I
don't really know what that is. That's just like a

(01:24:13):
sweet pizza, right.

Speaker 17 (01:24:15):
Yeah, yeah, I guess so. But places like Hell's Pizza
they have a bit of spice and a bit of
sweet to go with it. Like I'm not too sure
if you've had jalapenos with golden syrup before on top
of a pizza. Maybe we should try it one day.
Just all the different flavors, the spices, the sweetness. It's different,

(01:24:38):
that's all it is.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
What's the one you said that pizza hut that you like.

Speaker 17 (01:24:44):
Oh, there's a cookie pie there. I mean, actually, I'm
on a weight last journey, say.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
And Tim, least surprising sentence.

Speaker 17 (01:24:57):
Ever, least surprising.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
You're going on about the pizzas that you like, right, yeah,
and what you enjoy And what was that when you
said pizza, cookies and cream pie.

Speaker 17 (01:25:12):
Yeah, cookie pile. I think they call it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Sounds pretty calorific.

Speaker 17 (01:25:19):
Oh it's pretty horrific, mate. There's a lot of calories
on there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Is it like a giant I don't know what it
looks like.

Speaker 17 (01:25:26):
It's a giant cookie pretty much, but it's a pizza.
One of your listeners will probably bring up I just
got there tonight, pizza.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
Does it taste like a pizza? Or just need to
look like a pizza?

Speaker 17 (01:25:42):
Now it's meed to look like a pizza. Just taste
like coie.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
The ultimate chocolate chip cookie, a giant chocolate chip cookie
full of rich chocolate chips nine ninety nine.

Speaker 17 (01:25:53):
There you go, you want diabetes?

Speaker 8 (01:25:55):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
Appreciate your honesty, Tim, Thank you lushy. I think they
call me lushy. They said every with social media lushy. Well,
I've got a lover at a time. But I don't
want to go on jick jock anyway. Marcus Connings Food
Market and Nelson Good Pizza Local topic's quite nice. About
the same price as takeaway, but you feel better support
in local. What a great text, and I'm hearing you.

(01:26:22):
Connings food Market never heard of it. You think there
would be quite a You think there would be a
niche there for making heat and eat gourmet local pizza.
I don't know who's doing it. That's why I'm curious
to ask. It's not something I've experienced at all. But
if someone's got something interesting to say about that, I'm

(01:26:44):
all in for listening.

Speaker 18 (01:26:45):
You get to do his work. By the Uranian, it's
neck and neck through this little stage.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
It hits the wall.

Speaker 18 (01:26:50):
Julian David is throw He's got five point two. I
think it's a personal best and he has hamming it
and is guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals. Tremendous work.
He was like a demented spider weaving his way up
the wall. And boy, what an outstanding shine from Julian David.
He looks delighted.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
He's just a yeah, lead to young looking guy. Five
point two versus five point two zero six took out
the Iranian days, gone down his knees and done, set
of a bowing movement to the Iranian. The guy's calling
himself Johnny Bazooka this Kiwi. So it seems like he's
a bit of a character mind that could take you
a certain way. Can't you take you the whole way?
Better character? But he's down to one of these goes
through to the final personal best for him, but only

(01:27:33):
just did it. There was extraordinary, really, I think that's yeah,
that was quite something because it looked kind of sort
of fairy sluggish throughout the seeding things and stuff like that.
So go him. Very impressed with him at the Halberg's
he's you know that he got the young promising athlete
or something and conducted himself well Iranian guys in consolable,

(01:27:54):
heading his hands, hitting chalkkill through his hair or magnesium
sulfate or something whatever it is. But yeah, it was
neck and neck, but just was better with the lunge
at the end. In fact, he was behind a lot
of it, but just towards the indust was slightly better
with the just had the timing right was anyone's thing,
But yeah, goodness, supposed to me. There he goes five
point two zero versus five point two six. It was

(01:28:17):
actually behind for most of it was just the I
have to look at that when I get home. The
other guy just stumbled a bit towards the end. He
were slow on a stretch out. You stort of got
to explode at that stretch right at the end. And
that guy didn't nail at the Iranian anyway, Tim Beverage

(01:28:37):
will be along next. I shall return tomorrow night. The
highlight for tonight for me was the New Zealand woman
in the fifteen hundred qualifying through the Semis. First six
went through. She was sixth. Extraordinary race because she had
to make a lot of cover a lot of ground
to get that sixth, whether she knew or not, whether
she had the numbers worked out, who she had to
get up with, very fine. That was so well done her.

(01:29:01):
That's it for me. People, TB. T and Beverage along
from twelve. Someone sent me the story about the edible
coffee cups. Thanks so it didn't get a chance to
read that, but we'll read that afterwork. Oh, edible coffee cups,
well stocked. Delhi is serving them? Why he Currimental Peninsula,

(01:29:24):
