Speaker 2 (00:18):
There is rugby leagues, so I'll keep you updated on that.
How are you all going? By the way, there is
America's Cup tonight, which I'm kind of excited about, but
I'm also of that situation. I have no idea when
it's on or how we're supposed to watch it.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I know that you guys like your sports, so if
you have any assistance with that or can help with that,
that would have interest to me. So I you've got
something to say about that, Where we can watch it,
how we can watch it? I think it's on stuff. Yeah,
So if there's something you want to say about that,
also get in touch, because I'm sure people will like

(00:53):
to watch it. I'm just not quite sure how early
or how late it's going to be, so all across
that tonight. Anything else you want to talk about? Non
curated talk here till twelve boom. That's we're I'm about tonight.
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
text be good to hear from you, So feel free
to get in touched. Any news that happens the next

(01:15):
four hours, get us. I will get you updated. If
you've got other stuff to keep us updated on, get
in touch. Yeah, if that's something that you've got that
you know about, let us know if there is breaking news,
and I will do the same. So yes, here we

(01:36):
are headle twelve. But firstly the America's Cup, don't want
to get a little hyped about that, but also want
to know what time it happens. By the way, News
talk Z being Auckland on eighty nine point four will
be off. Here we go for about thirty minutes for
maintenance between midnight and one. Listeners can stay with us

(01:56):
at ten eighty or via iHeartRadio and Newstalk ZB dot
co dot nz. Here we are there you go ten
eighty on iHeartRadio and US Talk ZB dot co dot nz.

(02:17):
That's a situation there, get in touch. So there we go.
Warn you closer to the time when we are about
to go off, so you can do what you need
to do. But the America's Cut, where will it start?
How will you watch it? I think that's quite important
for us to work out tonight. So yeah, so get

(02:39):
in touch with that. If you've got some information about that,
will you watch it? I know it's kind of not
important for us yet because we are the defender. It's
my understanding. Yeah, so why would we get excited about
the pre match? But do get in touch if you
want to talk about that, oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and anything else you want to mention. I'm all

(03:03):
he is and looking forward to what you want to
talk about or say as I say eight hundred and
eighty eight eighty nine. I hope your day was good,
by the way, people, hope you've done exciting stuff today.
And if you're do want to get in touch forel
free to give me a call. But you let's start
it off with the America's Cup. Will you be watching it?

(03:26):
By the way they are calling you might have heard
this on the Early Show. They are calling for tolls
on the cycle trails, which strikes me as been a
ridiculous idea when we all paid for them, and most

(03:47):
of them with the old railway corridor. I'm looking at
this one and ross. It's a beautiful bridge, that one,
but I'd circlet it quite recently. It was always going
to fall apart, so it seems like give it to
a hostile pass to me, and it seems that the
West Coast infrastructure can't afford to fix that bridge. So yeah,

(04:08):
I mean, I remember that there was such an extraordinary
rush to build cycle ways and it's a beautiful railway line.
This is the old railway line that went down to Ross.
I went down to Hokitika then down to Ross and
they've pulled it up and the bridge is collapsed. I
don't know why it's clapped, because it's only because of

(04:33):
bike traffic. Beautiful belt bridge, so you might want to
talk about that as well. It's about five dollars per ride.
But when I was there there was no one on
the track. It seemed to be hardly ever ridden at all.
But anyway, there you go. What else have you got
people up to you? Eight hundred eighty eight Teddy in
nine two nine to it text me till twelve. Be

(04:53):
good to hear from you, Marcus. I can't believe anyone
would want to support the America's Cup after what happened
with it being taken away from us and we got
ripped off later later than I'm afraid later that I'm afraid.
I don't know what that means, but yes, I think

(05:14):
people want to watch it because it can be quite exciting,
and the coverage is quite snappy. And yeah, here we go,
and the coverage is quite snappy, and the graphics are
quite good. Marcus White, as Ma might not taste the
same after they rang it back from the earthquake. It

(05:35):
might be your taste buds are different.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Marc.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Has been a fatal on the Chaimis will be closed
for a few hours. Thank you for that. I'll bring
up the information on that if that's already on the
Waka Kataki website. Fatal on the Kaimis people there you
go just been phoned in.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I think if we know there's a fatal exit, there'll
also be the serious crash investigators will be there also too.
So I'm looking at that now. I can't see that
on Waka katar Here we go. Road closed State Highway
twenty nine tot on Titipoi Kimo Ranges due to serious crash.

(06:18):
State Highway twenty nine cover arrangents closed in both directions
between Cambridge and Rapourapou Road delay. Your junis don't know
what time that accent happened. If someone could let me
know about that'd be good to hear from you. As
I say, oh eight hundred and eighty nine text says
that was phoned at twelve o'clock, but that would be right.

(06:40):
Stephen Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Hi Stephen, Hi, market the Americas covers on TV three
on midnight till three sealed you tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Why is that proper TV three or is that some
funny form of TV three you just get on the computer.

Speaker 6 (06:58):
No, it's on. It's on TV three, Okay, go on
your on you ordinary TV.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I've kind of forgotten about TV three because it just
became Discovery, didn't it.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (07:14):
Yeah, well a time from midnight to half past three
tomorrow morning live.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Let me just check. Let me just check that on
the sky. Are you excited about it?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
I've been in America's Cup. My brother was built in
America long before I did this. Colin was in Colonnado.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Okay, and you're quite right. It's got twelve o'clock preliminary
to get a Barcelona until two thirty. What did you
say your brother did?

Speaker 6 (07:41):
He was a boat daughter of America.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh okay, Well I'm excited about that because people didn't
have much information. But yeah, there we go. Well that's
good because I thought you have to go on to
YouTube to find it or something.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Stephen, No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
And it goes for a number of days, does it?

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yes, and then go right through to the end of
October virtually, and.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I presume we will win it, won't we? Uh, well,
we'll retain it. Retain it's the right word.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
We'll retain it. The part is a pretty good team
that this year. Yeah, but no, we've got a good count.
You know, if you'd be under one.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, well, I mean yeah, we certainly are in there.
We've had it for a while. Now, nice to talk
to you. Thank you for that. Eight and nine to
nine two detect Marcus till twel if anything goes comments
on the America's Cup, because we should preview that that
happens at midnight TV three, And I mean, how would
we know it's on TV three because we don't watch
TV three to know it's on TV three. I guess

(08:52):
that's the comment I'm making. It's kind of not a
TV showel that people watch much. Now, someone says, keep
up Marcus Sailing's All Live on TV three tonight at
midnight were played Friday Wanting at seven am. Seems to
be a bit of hype about it all on TV
three free too, are get amongst it.

Speaker 9 (09:16):
Great?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Do they have reporters over there? I hope so, But
back catch if you want to talk. My name's Marcus
HITDL twelve. Also bikeways now wanting a toll on bikeways.
I don't know. I mean, it's all very well, having
a toll would be impossible to enforce them. I'd say

(09:42):
there's probably too many bikeways and they're building them with
reckless abandon when every council's doing everything they can to
build bikeways and most of them are or a lot
of them are on old railway corridors that do have
bridges that are at the end of their lives, and
they're expensive bridges to replace and rebuild, particularly just for

(10:06):
because they're overbuilt for that. Anyway, Yeah, Oh Trump isn't exciting. Rude,
I was the Queen's favorite president. No self awareness anyway.
Get in touch by Name's Marcus Hidle twelve oh eight

(10:26):
hundred eighty to eighty nine two nine to two to text.
Anything goes hittle twelve. Whatever you got up for that tonight.
As I say, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two to text some other topics, I'll
sprinkle through the night and no doubt we'll land on
one by the end. But yes, do you get in

(10:50):
touch you want to talk in Hittel twelve. But the
America's Cup starts at midnight Sunlive dot co dot NZ
for the incident. So there we go. This is this crash.
I'll get some more information about that. I wasn't quite
sure what time it had happened, but I'll google that
up for you people to tell you about that. And

(11:13):
if you want to talk, as I say, lines, they're free.
Oh eight hundred and eighty eight ten eighty. By the way,
when it comes to the whole not having the America's
Cup here, I've kind of moved beyond that. You've got
to pick your battle sometimes, and let's not not enjoy
sport because it's just not here. The full story State

(11:35):
Highway twenty nine is closed following a serious crash. A
PLEASE spokesperson said, this serious crash on the mud tomatter
side of the Kaimos, the crash of puting involves two
vehicles and a serious question has been notified. Police say
the road is closed and diversions are in place. This
was for This was filed at six point fifty five.

(11:58):
Delay your journey or allow extra time for a detour,
alternate route State Highway twenty eight, State Highway five, State
Highway thirty six. I don't know how much longer that is.
Someone might be able to let me know more about that. Oh,
it's a long it's a long diversion that's right down

(12:20):
to that's right down through to do I think twenty
eight to five thirty. That's a long diversion. So that's
nextra hour. I old imagine Tama Ti Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 10 (12:34):
Yeah, I was just wondering what happened to the defending
of the Cup here come. It's not fought for in
New Zealand anymore. That's what it used to be, didn't it.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
There was a lot of publicy at the time about that.
I think the government offered them one hundred million dollars
and that was enough and they thought they could make
more and make more excitement by taking it overseas.

Speaker 10 (12:57):
That's not fear on us, is that? I mean we're
the defenders and it should be fought for in our country.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Mate.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
You know, well, well hang about it's ariate enterprise, isn't it.
I mean they're a private they're a private yachting.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
They can do what they want, can they.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, of course they have articles they can. I mean
they might be sailing as, they might be sailing as
New Zealand. But if no challenge is going to come
down here.

Speaker 10 (13:26):
The America's Cup used to be the winner was challenged
in that country.

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Did you know it used to be Do you know that?

Speaker 7 (13:35):
Yeah? Yeah, I know that.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
How do you know that?

Speaker 10 (13:39):
Well, Dennis Connor was a good example of it. I
mean they held it for years and it was always
fought for in America. They never took it anywhere else
until it was won by US.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
But I think that I don't think we know about
what the America's Cup as everything is extremely fluid and
if you get lawyers involved, you can do whatever you want.
I think it was all an agreement between I think
you get an agreement between defender and the challenger, then
you do what you want. I think that's my indication. Dumbedy,
But this is I mean, this was much talked about

(14:13):
three years ago when they decided to move it away.
So yeah, I think that discussule probably for three years ago.
But I mean, we all know it's a big business,
but you might want to mention that. I'll give us
a bit of a rebrief on that. Oh wait, one
hundred and eighty. And let's face it, though, with all
the challenges to the deed of the cup and the

(14:35):
fact that you can change things, it's made the sport
much more exciting. I mean the whole I mean the
whole fact that they've got no sales but they've got
wings and daggerboards and all of that. That was all
because of people challenging the deed and I think the
sport's much much better for it. Anyway, get in touch
with you want. Your name is Marcus Head. Twelve o'clock tonight, JA.

(14:58):
People coming and strong at the Old America's Cup. It's
funny because people feel, you know what people feel that
they feel ownership for it. Maybe that's a good thing.
Memory is not a bad thing. We're not worth getting
too heated about it seems though, with Grant Dalton, it'd
rather defend the cup successfully overseas because I presume Barcely

(15:22):
and I put in money that lose an underfunded campaign locally,
and that's his job to defend it and win it.
So that's kind of what he says. And also I
think probably they were people become very expensive for the
challenges to come down and us in a challenge for
it because of the geography, are far away from everyone.

(15:42):
Seemed to be a practical solution. I don't know what
I felt about it three years ago. I feel kind
of okay about it now. I'm kind of looking forward
to it. In the last couple of days, Marcus, I
would put money on Leam McDonald doesn't want Scott Barrett
as a b captain as AB captain, and that's what
the biff is about. Don't quite know why you wouldn't
want him.

Speaker 11 (16:02):
But there you go.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
By the way, the crime I detail are over an
hour added to that trip, but that's a situation you
will have to go down and around. It's almost via
Lake rote Dure because of the extent on the Komi Road. Marcus,
given the boats now have wings and not sails, should
we rename it boat flying? You could, I suppose, Marcus.

(16:31):
The America's Cup is a yacht club challenge. Getting all
patriotic about it as silly, Emmet, although I do understand
why people are patriotic about it, because I think we
went over the top in the nineties when we wore
red socks and half a million people or a quarter
million people went to Queen Street, when Peter Blake and
those people drove down in toyotas and those mustard shirts.

(16:55):
Come of the last time we got really excited to
get about anything, wasn't it that? And Round the Bays
kind of feels over now, but anyway, so we were
encouraged that it was our campaign. This guy Reckon Scott
Barrett not up for the role of captain and he's
Robertson's man, not his interesting haven't heard that take on it.

(17:20):
I've tried to read a few articles about that today.
Nothing was that clear. Have to wait till the book
comes out. Marcus Tacpays has spent millions on the New
Zealand America's Cup challenges and defenses. Any further contribution should
be conditional upon it being defended in New Zealand when
we win. Marmite is too sweet, I've changed. Veggie mighte

(17:46):
got quite strong opinions about veggie mighte and marmite. Why
would people find one tiny thing to get opinionated about. Basically,
marmite and veggie might are almost identical in taste, so

(18:06):
if you like one, you pretty much will like the
other because they are the kind of things that you like.
Some of the opinion, I quite enjoy them both. The
worst thing, it's nonsense that people get so worked up
on subtle differences of things. It's like if someone handed
me a coke or PEPSI, I wouldn't care. I'd be
happy for it. There's just me though. Of course we'll

(18:30):
get the Bovril texts in soon. Marcus Grant Royal Dalton
is his correct title. Oh really, someone says, and look this,
understreading the text, because just heard that Leon McDonald will
be the new Crusaders' coach. This makes sense, really, I'll

(18:53):
t expect where did you hear that? I think we've
got breaking news as we happen now. And when someone
says I just heard that, I don't know if they've
heard that on a news channel or on at the
local pub. Check out that one.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Tell you what.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
When you retire, guys, they reckon the most important thing,
and retirement and in your life that hobbies are more
important than jobs. Anyone taking up any new hobbies lately.
Haven't done a show on hobbies for us thinking about that,
and I'm curious to know about that, what the hobbies are.

(19:32):
And I don't know whether buying stuff on Timu was
a hobby, although I felt kind of that. I saw
the courier come around to the house today, I thought
I might spend a day with the career before too long,
helping out. I just want to see how much stuff
comes from Temu. Of course that's not going to be
my new hobby, helping out the courier, but I was curious, Well,

(19:52):
that would be a good way to find out if
in fact half the stuff is Timu stuff. After seeing
my neighbor around is properly with a water device and
he said something odd later that he wasn't searching for water.
Do you believe divining is legit? Have you done it?

(20:13):
What else can you divine for?

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Whatever?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Could someone tell me we're Lea McDonald and the Crusaders coach,
so I thought they were on headed job for that. Anyway,
it's just recap people. It's been a busy half hour. Firstly,
Chaimas has closed serious crash there, perhaps of fatality. The
diversion is a long one. You have to go south
around to do a little bit extra hour. The road

(20:38):
is closed and obviously be closed for a while if
the serious crash investigators are looking into that one, which
appears to be the case. Secondly, the America's Cup starts
at midnight. It'll be on TV three. It'll also be
on the Stuff website and on a YouTube channel. But
most of you have TV three, so he shouldn't be

(20:59):
too concerned you're going to miss out. It's complicated. This
is like a round robin of all the challenges New Zealand.
Doesn't we go into this, but we are this time
just for the hell of it. I don't know the thing.
But then it gets to the Louis Verton Challenges series
and we won't be in that. The government offt one
hundred million dollars, I think to Grant Dalton to defend

(21:21):
it in New Zealand, but apparently it wasn't enough money,
so he took it to Barcelona, I presume with cash sweetness,
and he said I'd rather defend it successfully overseas and
lose it and underfunded campaign in New Zealand. That's a
situation there. But let's get it's exciting, let's get into it.

(21:42):
The graphics will be exciting, the racing will be exciting.
Barcelon all look beautiful, good fun and after such a
fantastic Olympics, would be nice to watch something like that.
So I'm all in with that. I'll watch a bit
when I get home, looking forward to that. I don't
know who the commentator will be. Peter Listin was always

(22:04):
pretty good.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I thought.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
That's happens tonight or tomorrow morning from midnight. The other
thing too, someone has said that Scott Robertson is going
to be the Crusaders coach. Now I don't know if
that's he's heard that. I don't know where he's heard that.

(22:29):
But get in touch there a ton of texts coming through,
need some calls as well. Let me just read these texts.
What's the story of the real estate woman in Balley.
She came off his scooter without insurance, which is the
most common story in BALI happens all the time, and
it does make you wonder whether people should be advised

(22:51):
not to take those scooters or to get insurance. But
that's all I know about that. You might have some
more information, Marcus. I'm a key we but using Marmater's
gross English mar Mate, lovely, Chris Marcus. My new hobby
is clipping middle music from the nineties up art master
clash Turkish lamps. Fun thing to do, Marcus. If you

(23:14):
mix marmite and vigimite together, what do you call it?
Very good? Marcus? Is uber gym spoken to Jim's mowing.
They don't want to sub franchise. This is my hobby,
by the way out tonight quiet at the moment, So

(23:35):
driving an uber could be your hobby. It's interesting that
often thought the text drive would be a good hobby
for people, Marcus. The America's Cup looks amazing. Hydrogen powered
chase boats, new women's and youth regatters and AC forties
and all competitors in the pregliminary races together. Every boat

(23:57):
has Kiwis on them, and most boats and masts are
made in New Zealand. Definitely a Kiwi competition despite being
in Europe. Totally proud, Thank you, Pete. Marcus. You can
buy the English mar might here, but they have to
call it my mate because of copyright. Marcus. I was
diagnosed diabetes too. I checked out food for sweetness and

(24:20):
marmite lots sweeter than veggiemite. Noel Marcus. I've recently retired
and started volunteer work and conservation along with taking up
snowshoeing and hiking. I've always been a king gardener for
growing food and cooking food, plus quite crafty sea swimming

(24:44):
at Maria Tai. That's Richard's new hobby. So your new
hobbies and your America's cup.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I think we've got a show twenty five to night,
and get in touch Marcus till twelve. If you have
got updates, let me know what the updates are. Be
nice to hear from you. If there's something you want
to mention about that eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
nine two nine two detext here till twelve. There's something
different you want to talk about and mentioned, that's good,

(25:16):
But mainly it's about the hobbies. The funny thing about
hobbies is that I haven't heard of any sort of Now,
once in a while a hobby comes along that takes
the world by storm, and I can't think of what
as I'm trying to say that, like would be like

(25:37):
Macrameay was big there for a while, or pottery, or
you know, every so often there's a hobby that comes
along and everyone's into bond side trees. I don't know
what the latest hobbies are, so i'd be curious if
you discovered a new one, because I think people would

(25:57):
be It's one of those things that people would be
interested to hear about, and that's kind of what I'm
checking it out there as a topic. So get in touch.
And I think everyone's always interested in a hobby. Howk
rugs they were good for a while, because what I
suspect is most people's hobbies have been superseded by doom

(26:21):
scrolling on the phone, which is good for no one. Marcus.
That railway line went all the way to Green's Beach
access through Yantha Forest. That's a few k's north of
the Wanganawe River and Hodey. Honey, it's a beautiful looking bridge.

(26:45):
Get in touch. We're talking of hobbies and that's enough
for me tonight, Peter, welcome.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Here, You going good, Peter.

Speaker 12 (26:54):
We do a bit of gold for us again.

Speaker 13 (26:56):
I'll go you.

Speaker 12 (26:59):
The point of gold going up all the time.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
We just go hard.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I wouldn't call that a hobby, Peter, because I know,
but about that that is a total obsession.

Speaker 12 (27:07):
Isn't it.

Speaker 14 (27:08):
It is?

Speaker 12 (27:12):
Once see that color, you keep going?

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where did you see the color?

Speaker 11 (27:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
You should have never whereabouts?

Speaker 15 (27:19):
Can I can?

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Can I talk about where you are?

Speaker 12 (27:22):
All on the West coast?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Okay? And what's your have you got like pumps and stuff?

Speaker 12 (27:32):
You're not allowed that on dockland okay? But Doc Doc
has put aside thirty seven kilometers of river for so
you can go golding.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
And is that on one particular river?

Speaker 16 (27:53):
Are yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (27:55):
And there's more, there's more, there's more gold every week. Yeah, okay,
so this place is untouched.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
So what river is that? Can you talk? Can you
tell me which one? I mean, I'm just curious. Is
the just one river you can go on on the
West coast?

Speaker 12 (28:11):
Which is Doc has claim most of that anyway, so
you can work on there.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Okay, and.

Speaker 12 (28:21):
Just no motors all by hand? Do it all by hand.
You're at a wheelbearer, I think, so.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
You're just you're just in the river, shoveling sand in
small rocks in your sluice box and and just looking
in the riffles for gold.

Speaker 13 (28:38):
Is that right?

Speaker 12 (28:40):
That's the one?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Are you finding much graham?

Speaker 12 (28:46):
A gram percubic meta? Okay, so every every cubic meter
of stone or move is a gram of gold?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Is it a good ratio?

Speaker 9 (28:58):
Sure?

Speaker 17 (28:58):
Is?

Speaker 12 (29:00):
At least you've got a million dollars to buid big machines.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, well you can't because you haven't got a license there,
have you?

Speaker 12 (29:07):
Oh you can get one, okay, mining license.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Do you stock pile your gold because you think it's
going to be worth more soon?

Speaker 10 (29:17):
No?

Speaker 12 (29:17):
I flick it, I flick it a couple of days, because.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
A Graham's worth about one hundred and fifty bucks.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Is it?

Speaker 12 (29:25):
Yep? One hundred and forty seven today?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
In how many meters can you do a day?

Speaker 12 (29:34):
One?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (29:37):
That's a lot of dirt to move by hand.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, I can.

Speaker 12 (29:39):
I mention it's a good little hobby.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Will you pivot? Will you pivot to white babe?

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (29:47):
We do that as well.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
They go pretty well together. A yeah, okay, But just Peter,
just back to the quick when you talked about doc
and where you can go? Can you go to any
of the dock rivers on the west coast? Or is
there just one river you can go to.

Speaker 12 (30:04):
Yes, any dock lands you can go on.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Okay, yeah, that's very good.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Are you seeing many other people out there?

Speaker 12 (30:14):
Not many? Summertime is suit you could?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
I always go up the you know, up the Arrow
River and Arrow Town. There's always you know, there's always
people there. There's people with middle detectors. There's people because
I think that is the one river you can come
you know, you can get into, and there's always people.
And I think a lot of a lot of young
people are really into it after watching kind of gold
Mine and all those shows. I mean, people love it.

Speaker 12 (30:39):
Yeah. And here's Greenstone here too, Yes, nice Greenstone.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
And when you say Greenstone, that's rocks that have broken
off the mother load and walk work their way down
the river. Is that the way it works?

Speaker 6 (30:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (30:54):
And then tumble edry idea all the way down.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, I've never seen I've never come across Greenstone. It
must look it must look just.

Speaker 12 (31:04):
You never wore price it. Oh okay, it looks like
a rainbow.

Speaker 18 (31:09):
Yeah, okay, looking at you.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Nice to hear from your Peter. I've got a very
good mate. And Bluffy is an obsessive gold miner and
he's always just about to go if every day he
comes around, he says, our price of gold's up. When
are you're going very soon? He says, And he does
pretty well. He's got he's got areas where he can

(31:33):
go in mind what I figure what it's called you
And he's got licenses to mine particular areas and takes
it very seriously. But of course too when the gold
price is high as now, intend advise him, David. It's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 17 (31:49):
There you go, Marcus, good David. I'm trying to think
what the hell we were talking about?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Hobbies?

Speaker 17 (31:59):
Oh yeah, fishing. I love fishing.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Where do you go?

Speaker 18 (32:06):
Ah, where there's water?

Speaker 17 (32:09):
It's seriously.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Blake walk.

Speaker 17 (32:16):
Duncant river, I mean the Blake duncan't And uh, I'm
not giving away too many secrets here in.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
The in the inland South, the inland Itago Lakes is
what you're saying.

Speaker 17 (32:36):
Yeah, well I can I can't take you. I mean,
I'm seventy one years old and I can go and
take you and catch a fish where I caught my
first fish.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Scuse you have a moved far.

Speaker 17 (32:52):
No, I've got to travel, But.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
I would still go there.

Speaker 17 (32:56):
And catch fish.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Trawling over the fly.

Speaker 17 (33:04):
No, no, no, this is chuck and chance up the beach.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Oh yeah, check and chains.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
Well that's what I call it.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Think about fishing. People never get sick of fishing, do they.

Speaker 17 (33:16):
Well, the thing is, my grandfather told me, he said,
and of course you'll know this. Give a person of
fish your freedom for a day, but teach a person
to fish your freedom for life. And it's pretty accurate, isn't.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
It really like to hear from you, David? Good stuff,
evening kid, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Okay, Marcus. I thought to give you a call when
the guy is talking about gold. Now, if I was,
you were anyone going to do it? Check patrol in
the mineral's rules because what he was talking about was
not true. They're actually eighteen hossicking sights.

Speaker 18 (34:06):
Then the river.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
I thought that was weird because I just thought it
was quite selective.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah, they they're used to be a lifetime license and
then they changed at ninety two and ship up all
these possking sites. DOT control them.

Speaker 18 (34:23):
But they were the before docks and a lot of.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Them are not even on doc and Minstera Land, but
they're not owned by Doctor Land. I mean at least
four of them are night who owns.

Speaker 13 (34:34):
Yeah that I know.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
There was one in South and that someone put a
claim over and they got that, so that's no longer
open to the public. Last I heard and it was
Monkey beet Is once I go on to. I haven't
been to Lyle on the West coast is one I
think at charlestonham one at Moonlight, Nelson Creek.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Creek, Moonlight Creek, slap Hack Creek, Wyhoe River, Nelson Creek,
but Tender Stream, Lyle Creek, Jones Creek. So there's just
the eight of them, five in the test and just
twelve Mile Creek. Well, every time I've been there, there's
people there. Five Mile Creek. Every time I've been there,
I've seen people there Arrow Quick Shotover and Gabriel Gully.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, I think it was eighteen. And there's two new
ones are Really and Howard Belly Up and Nelson are
very A and B as a new one. Jones Creek
is always good. I've been up there. A couple of
months after I was up there, someone found a six
and a half ounce nugget.

Speaker 17 (35:40):
Can.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
We was edit Gundon Creek, No, Jones Creek, and Ross Jones.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Okay, we're the biggest skull nugget in New Zealand was
ever found. So I actually probably walked over there and nugget,
but it was just under the thing and I was
going through the up.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Did you have a middle Did you have a middle of?
Did you have a middle of? Tickto with you?

Speaker 3 (36:02):
I had a tiny one, but I wasn't using it.
I was using classify in a bucket and then you
put it through your sou spots. So you can do
a bit more than a meter to day. But yeah,
it depends what the area you're in some sort of
Some are good what's the moonlight? And the other one is,

(36:23):
oh there's one just out of recent it's a really
good one. Uh that's even miles south.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
It's not sham Slavehat Creek.

Speaker 18 (36:34):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, so there's a lot of stories around them than that.
And yeah, you just go up and a lot of
people only go a little way up the thing, and
like in one of the places is actually two streams,
but they will only go to the one because it's
got the easy excess. They don't actually look on my
mat where they get to the other one.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
How how quickly do you think gold nuggets move down rivers.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Depends on the water.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
How you know that one that the guy found this
big one recently?

Speaker 14 (37:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (37:10):
How big did you say?

Speaker 10 (37:10):
It was?

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Six and a half ounces?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Do you think that would have been there for generations
or do you think it could have been there for
a week and come down in heavy rain?

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Well on that that area of the rain can get
very heavy and move. And I found a courts reef
in one area, a massive courts pultiple maybe a reef,
so that could have been dropping out under that to
get back. So but within the possing area. And because

(37:41):
most people are going to have the map breed, so
they don't know how far are extends and they can
get into a lot of troubles there outside it. Yeah,
I'd have did it for a few years on and
off trying to. I just would always just miss it.
And that's what they're saying in gold is like pamu.
You don't find it, it finds you. If you don't

(38:02):
keep finding it, it's not finding, you're not you're sort
of always looking.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
He's still he's still got the hunger. He's still got
the hunger.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Ken.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
I would like to give gold because of I got
them to finance. It's like a guy said to me today, well,
hand over your cash. I said, if your money? I said, no,
it's not money, it's currency. The only thing that's money
is gold and shulgar. And that's why I got into
it too, because it's it's a way of getting ahead

(38:33):
quickly if things go.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Right, are you heading back down again soon?

Speaker 3 (38:40):
I haven't been able to get out of pages because
my house truck died, so I would love to get
back out and do it. Just great being out in
the bush.

Speaker 9 (38:49):
Other time.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
There's pretty good resources on the web to see where
it's still happening, and you can go look at it all.

Speaker 17 (38:56):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yes, it used to be you could go up on
all those rivers and when you hit a license, but
they change the system.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Not sounds aware. It sounds like the doc. Doc must
be a bit fit on the ground of the coast
as he's happy up there with his wheelbarrow.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Well, they know that it's going on. They know it's
going on and close to some of their headquarters, but
they just say they've to people to police it. I mean,
you're getting the gold, and even though you're doing the legally,
you're telling you where they're getting it from. Oh yeah,
it's just I just felt I couldn't do it legally,

(39:36):
I'd get caught, So that's.

Speaker 12 (39:38):
Up to them.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Nice to hear from. You can't keep in touch with
if you've got anything to say, oh, eight hundred and
eighty nine text it'll twelve. It's amazing on you that
you can click on every mark, every claim and see
who's got it. Extraordinary resources. Anyway, my name is Marcus.

(40:03):
Welcome Hittle midnight. If you want to talk America's Cup
and hobbies and you even know the America's Cup might
be your hobby nine oh seven Yew Zealand and the
people beyond, welcome on him as Marcus. I hope things
are goodish Were you arish head or midnight? The America's

(40:23):
Cup starts at midnight? Well, it's not the America's Cup,
but it's what we know is the America's Cup. It's
the dial up, the prelims. Ye'll be exciting, be a
good graphics packages. A much discussion about why that ship
that has capsized will gone to the bottom of the

(40:45):
ground and the Mediterranean did that in fact, and because
with the heavy keels they should self writers. The implication
from some of the comment on that I think it
was a lifting keel, which surprises me. But it was
lifted apparently. Yeah, so that's the story that the Brits
are entranced with. And look, welcome people who want to

(41:08):
talk money markets. We're talking about hobbies time and time again.
They said the key to a happy life it's not work,
it's hobbies. But where do you go about finding a hobby?
Be curious to know what you do with that, and
who's found one. You might have found something that's new

(41:31):
that you're into. I'll be already curious to know what
that is, because I mean the thing about a hobby
is you've got to kind of let other people know
what it is. You've got to evangelize that hobby. Of course,
the definition of hobbies has changed these days. I mean

(41:51):
these days shopping on tim who's a hobby for a
lot of people? Or can remember whenever we used to
click click those tiles? It was a hobby for people too,
wasn't it? Ghastly things?

Speaker 17 (42:06):
Do you remember those?

Speaker 2 (42:12):
They were like sid Dickens tiles you see a lot
of in the second hand shops. Of Course, the thing
was with collecting in the old days. It's different now.
I can just go on the insect and buy everything. Marcus,

(42:34):
I'm starting to notice that Tima was causing rifts and
a few relationships and marriages of people I know. Tima
was the latest hobby hobby. It has evolved for many
into an online addiction to buying from Timu only a
good mate. Has become suspicious after discovering that spouses to
readwritted Caurier parcels at their place of work after I

(42:56):
might change the night shift, which means home during the day.
Hundred scent value in ten years Bitcoin same ten years
up one hundred and twelve thousand percent. My maths is

(43:20):
one gram of gold for every million grams. Move bloody
good on them, Marcus. I am two years from retirement.
I don't want to retire, but I don't want to
work for the man either. Therefore I have set up
a business I can do on my tembs. I need
to earn a bit of money so I continue to
do all my hobbies. Hobbies are not cheap and will

(43:41):
be difficult to maintain on a pension. Marcus, Balliance and
Woman Hired are one twenty five CCISCO are not covered
by insurance as classed as a motorbike Timmet's Marcus welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
Good evening, Marcus. Hobbies Probably mine is not very unusual.
AT's say, golfing.

Speaker 7 (44:07):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
I tend to go out to the golf course about
three or four times a week. It tends to be
addictive too. I mean you ask people out there, your
friends or colleagues or whatever.

Speaker 12 (44:20):
They'll tell you that. You know, once you get into
the hangar things, you get to know a few people.
It just kind of consumes for life.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Really, I don't have a hobby or a pastime or
a sport.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Well yeah, well, if you're an amateur like myself, then
you consider it an hobby like I've worked hard on
my love, I'd like to think, and yeah, it's just
like qushing, I guess. But you're still keeping physically active
because you've got to walk everywhere.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah exactly, what what what's the next step for you?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
The next step for me?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Does Does everyone play golf so often that they have
been actually become competitive? Is it the way it works?

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Well, there's a lot of people that like to think
the very competitive, but I think it's just it's a
real good socializer, especially if you're a former rugby or
football player, and you've played those physical sports. Here's a
sport here where you don't have to, you know, move
the joints as much besides all the walking. And it's

(45:31):
really adorable. I mean, I hope you can get out
there and get with it.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Well, but what I'm what I'm asking the question I'm
asking they have an answer, right, Yes, once you keep
doing it. Are you going to evolve with situation that
you start competing for your club? Is that on the
horizon for you?

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Sorry? Yeah, I didn't answer your question. Yeah, I think so.
Probably a master's capacity though.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Okay, and have you have you put some feeders out
for that or do people approach you or how does
that work?

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Yes, people have approached me within my group and you
just kind of registered four tournaments that come up. But
quickly with with the America's Cup coming up, you said
the prelims are on tonight. Is it right?

Speaker 9 (46:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I don't have to wear it's the right word for them.
But yeah, there are there there. It starts at midnight.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Who's in there? Is that Luna Rousso?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
I usual usual suspects And there's a British one, there's
an American one. There's the Italian one. There are previews online.
I'll find out for you.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Yeah, and then and then, and have you got anything
to say about Shawn Donton know who? That was his
last home game.

Speaker 12 (46:41):
Yeah, so that'll be a.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Big one for a big career for young.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
I don't know what he's I don't know. I don't
know what he's going to do subsequently either.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Well, yeah, he probably end up getting a gig wrecking
with the club somewhere.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Surely the America's Cup challenges in he asked Britannia from
the UK. They're the challenger of record a Linga Red Bullsland.
So they're the ones that are Butterworth and Coats were
involved with Luna Rossa. They're the ones that are well
dressed New York Yacht Club, American Magic, that's the USA.
They seem to be Newish and orient Express Racing Team France.

(47:22):
So one to four from Europe, one from America and US.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Did you just say, Lindy, Well, that's a blast from
the past.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Yeah, that's the old that's the Swiss one. That's Butterworth and.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Coats, right, yeah, yeah, the mercenaries.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Well, yeah, that's right, you sell that. You sell that
Murray Deka, lets you go fourteen past nine. My name's Marcus,
Welcome you. I don't know what Shawn Johnson's going to do.
You always seem to speak with a lot of confidence,
but too much confidence sometimes, I thought, And good how
he gave a shout out to the Laotian boys. Yeah,

(48:01):
there wouldn't be many New Zealand sportsmen with with the
lauchi and background like he has got so good on them.
Marcus Insurance companies offering moped insurance for traveler travelers to
Bali as a scam. Good luck finding a moped less

(48:22):
than one two five cc in Indonesia don't exist, I
think pretty much. You go to on Anesia, realize that
the mopeds are probably worth staying off, wouldn't You's the
easiest way to find yourself in A and e. Either
that and there's someone sneaks drugs into your boogie board
like happened with old Yeah, I remember that with the

(48:46):
old boogie board. Anyway, Get in touch by name is
Marcus Hddle twelve oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
two nine two to text, my name is Marcus. Welcome hobbies,
anything else oh eight hundred eighty ten eightyan nine two
nine two to tech Chappelle Corby. That's right, that was

(49:10):
her name. Don't hear much about her. I was following
her on Instagram for a while. She's sort of making
clocks and things. All looked a bit sketchy anyway, sixteen
past nine back catch if you've got something the good
texts Tonight Marcus always enjoyed your show tonight is pretty good.

(49:36):
The man's searching for golden pivoting to whitebait. Same thing,
really America's cup Avid Fair. Not sure if many people
realize this, but once upon a time someone at TV
insd at a light bulb moment. They took a little
boat to either Lake Marita or Fucker Marra, put a
couple of foils on it, and then total high speed
up and down the lake with a speedboat. Okay, Thus,

(49:58):
ingenious Kiwis invented the falling monohole. You might say it
was a boat flying up and down the lake. It's
all about technology invented by Diy Kiwis. Look, it certainly
revolutionized yachting. Yachting did the same thing for a long
long time, and then the Kiwis came and they didn't

(50:19):
mix it up, well, they didn't really mix it up.
There was the this is my potted history of the
America's Cup. There was the Australian Challenge which had the
winged keel and they won it, and then the Kiwis
went to Perth and were unsuccessful. Then Michael Faye went

(50:43):
to America and tried to challenge it in giant boats,
and then Dennis kind of put up a canamarrang. Is
that right there? It all went to catamarangs, and then
it went to foiling yachts. I'm sure it's more complicated
than that, but thanks to New Zealand's involvement, it made

(51:05):
the Because the race this is used to take forever,
they're quite dull, sports become much much more exciting. If
we are talking hobbies, you have discovered some new ones.
What are they? Pass the word and the question is
buying stuff on temua hobby? I think it's more addiction.

(51:27):
It's a bit like online gambling because you don't need
to leave the home. You just sit there and stuff arrives.
It's probably more exciting than online gambling. But yeah, there
you go without even leaving your house. I suppose plenty

(51:48):
of people that are into that. But anyway, I'm not
saying that's a hobby, but maybe it is. Graham, Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 8 (51:55):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
How are you good, Graham?

Speaker 8 (51:59):
Yeah, that's good. I'm just talking about America's Cup. I
hear there. I've just switched over to you people till now.
Alingi they never raced in the last America's Cup, but
they've come back and they think they've got a really
good show. Evidently their boat's been going really quick in practice.

(52:20):
But about ten days ago they broke a mast, so
they know damage done. Other than that, they repaired it, well,
they didn't repair it, they had a spare mask, so
they put a new mast in. After about four days
they went out sailing again and they've broken a second

(52:42):
mast exactly the same place.

Speaker 18 (52:49):
Yeah, which is a bit of a.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Worry for them because Alingi won it in two thousand
and three and then they lost it to Larry Ellison,
so they haven't been back since then, Is that right?

Speaker 12 (52:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (53:00):
I think so.

Speaker 8 (53:01):
I know they definitely went in it in the last
one when we defended it.

Speaker 13 (53:06):
He Yeah.

Speaker 8 (53:08):
The other thing I want to talk about, I'm just
sitting down the waterfront with a friend, just having a
quiet drink, and the moon's come up. I don't know
if anyone's had a look out there, but it's so
big and bright.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
It is a superb It is closest to the earth
and it's four year cycle or something. So yeah, it's
not full. It's wax and gibbus or whatever they call it.

Speaker 8 (53:30):
But it's it's enormous and really bright.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Are you in Auckland?

Speaker 5 (53:38):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (53:44):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Is the weather or right in Auckland today?

Speaker 5 (53:48):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (53:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (53:48):
A beautiful guy. And they're a bit cold in the wind,
but a beautiful guy.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I reckon Auckland always has that wind that cuts right
through here on the ridges. I've always found Auckland a
windy place.

Speaker 8 (54:02):
Yeah, yeah, well we come up to those equinoxes which
around me for Christmas, and that it does seem to
get quite windy, don't they.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
You're onto it? Yeah, you know, i'd forgot and yeah, okay,
so well a lingy have a new mask to race?

Speaker 8 (54:18):
Well, I guess, so, yeah, that has to be one.
How do I I haven't heard whether I've got it
up and going again. Well I haven't added anything to
the detriment, but I was thought it was a bit
concerning and breaking two masks within a week, you know.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
I mean we hate them though, don't we.

Speaker 8 (54:39):
Lingy Well yeah, well Coots and Butterware started all that
often they.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Ye, absolutely, I mean they behaved. They behaved in a
loathsome way. But people always see to be no different
to business if you're going to get a job overseas.
But I suppose I can entertain that thought, but it
does seem wrong.

Speaker 8 (54:59):
Yeah, and a lot of people are disappointed in New
Zealand taking the Cup to Barcelona. To the fend, but
we couldn't have done it in New Zealand. Dolphin's a
very hard man and that. But he wanted the money.
He wants the money to win it. Not well, but

(55:23):
he couldn't get the money here enough money.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
I'd rather win it overseas and lose it and New
Zealand in an undefended campaign. Look, when you look at
the teams, there's one from Italy, there's one from England,
there's one.

Speaker 8 (55:37):
From Switzerland, Switzerland, and.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
There's one from France. It's very much a European thing,
so it's understandable.

Speaker 15 (55:45):
That it is there.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
It makes a lot of sense for all those boats
to be there, I would think for sure. Yeah, okay,
enjoy the water, frank ground. What's your drink?

Speaker 8 (55:57):
Burbing with ice?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Have you got ice?

Speaker 15 (56:02):
Now?

Speaker 8 (56:03):
We're just drinking it out of the care old school.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Oh of course, forgot when you say bourbon and coke.
These days you're talking about a pre mix. Wow, the
old pre mix. Eh goodness? Oh yeah, makes it easy.
I don't know going to mix it anyway. Welcome people.
Twenty five past nine, eight hundred and eighty eight. Hobbies

(56:29):
the America's cup and gold mining. Oh, Mark's My hobby
is cody gum hunting and then polishing it hundreds of pieces,
always in the lock up for big ones. Marcus only

(56:53):
tuned in after the nine PM news. But regarding hobbies,
my hobby, most people would find really really boring. But
I've loved it since I was a kid. I'm now
fifty six and still going. I totally love building kitset
model cars and motorbikes, and sometimes collecting already built up
high end models to put my glass cabinet. Can't imagine
how many thousands and thousands of dollars or over the

(57:14):
last fifty years. Some are really high end and expensive
kit sets. Check out the brand Posher or poker pocgr.
They do Caddy motorcycle models on next level. I've got
them all chairs Gezer. I'm seeing quite a few people
on Facebook friends of mine that are getting back into
model planes after all these years painting them up. It

(57:36):
was never my thing. Try it once or twice, but
always sound a bit daft to me. But people love it.

Speaker 15 (57:45):
Go them.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
People really love it. So you might be into model
I mean, there used to be shops, but I suppose
you though you go to stokers models, wouldn't you. But
these days you get all that stuff on the Internet.
That's what makes it so better. We are in the
golden age of hobbies. No matter what you do, you
can find all your resources straight away, get them delivered

(58:10):
to your house. It's the Golden Asia hobbies. I'm convinced
of that. So that's what we're on about, amongst other stuff.
And the America's Cup. Remember that time we were nine
up and then we lost. I think that was in Catamarans,

(58:31):
wasn't it with Cyclaus. I don't think the Cyclaus are
there this time. I don't really know. I haven't really
followed that closely. Oh yeah, come on, people, let's be
hearing from you as I say, you know the you
know the drill tonight, Marcus Toll midnight. Oh there's rugby

(58:52):
league tonight too. I see Manly against the Tigers at Leichhardoval,
one of the great rugby league grounds. I'll keep you
updated with that. I think it might have actually started. No,
it's just a recap of the last match, like I said,
Deli evans there, but I'll keep you update on that
match when that happens. Only one more week and this

(59:12):
is the last week of the round robin. It's too
long this season, specially for your player mus speak, especially
for a coach. It's the hardest sports cup to win.
What did you say about anything? Anything's hard, isn't it?
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty today if Philip's Marcus welcome,

(59:34):
good evening.

Speaker 13 (59:36):
Yeah, it was good evening to just just talking about
hobbies and years and years and years ago. Every second
person I knew was a CBE radio operator. Oh wow, honestly, Americas,
I got to escage in my life. Well, I thought

(59:57):
I was going to have to go and get psychiatric
help because I wasn't one, because because everyone I knew
was doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Whereabout where were you for Were we in the mid seventies?

Speaker 13 (01:00:10):
Yeah, that would have been correct, Yes, about the mid seventies,
and every second person was it was a Cebe radio operator.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
And what part of the country.

Speaker 13 (01:00:21):
I was in the North Island around Hawk's Bay, okay.
And I'm just wondering, because you'd never hear of it now,
And I mean some of that was. Yeah, people were
were saving up, a saving and saving to buy a
slightly better radio, which was a whole lot of nonsense,

(01:00:44):
rare because it would only go so far, wouldn't it,
you know, would transmit so fat But I'm just wondering,
is it a store around Is it still a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
When you were in the seventies and a Hawks Bay?
Were most people doing it in vehicles or at their houses.

Speaker 13 (01:01:00):
And mostly in vehicles, okay. And I guess a lot
of truck drivers used to used to use them because
there was that American thing, you know, ten four good buddy.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
Ye.

Speaker 18 (01:01:16):
Yeah, So I guess that was a And as far as.

Speaker 13 (01:01:21):
Those people were concerned, it was probably an extremely useful
tool market. And you know, you could you could get
on the on the general channel and say oh look,
there's been a slip on highway to it where whatever. Yeah,
so it was probably very very beneficial for those people.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Pretty much was pretty much what we do with cell phones.
Now we're not supposed to use them when we're driving,
but it's pretty much the same thing, isn't it. But yeah,
because it doesn't really seem to be enough to justify
a hobby, does it driving around your car kind of
going break a breakout?

Speaker 13 (01:01:59):
So it doesn't yeah, yeah, break and break of ten four,
good buddy and all that sort of and the North
America vernacular sort of crypt but fine work with hams,
wasn't it totally handless?

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
And then there's those other people that say men that
are the more obsessive ones that try and talk to
people all around the world. That's short wave radios. I
think it's a slightly different version, but I think they're
still out there.

Speaker 13 (01:02:27):
That the amateur radio.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Yeah, amateur radio. That's different, isn't it subtly different?

Speaker 13 (01:02:34):
That's that's way more involved. And I believe they actually
have to.

Speaker 18 (01:02:40):
Be licensed to that's right.

Speaker 13 (01:02:43):
Uh yeah, And they talk all around the world. They
they hooking to satellites and they've got their own cabs
and they and that's quite almost a cult.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
But the fact that all you mate suddenly stop doing
it must have meant that it wasn't a very good
hobby after all, because it wasn't that kind of compelling.

Speaker 13 (01:03:05):
No, that's just thinking about it now. I'm thinking it was.
It was the original talkback radio without ads.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Good to hear from you, Fell, Thank you, nineteen to
ten hobbies and Cebee Radio eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
My name is Marcus, welcome anything else you're on to
are in two. It'd be nice to hear from you.
Keep those texts coming. Your market's Marcus good evening, Hi, Mark.

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
Good evening and Marcus two. And during the war I
made model Air model airplanes, the solid Baltzer, and there
was a shop in Newmarket in Auckland called Model Air.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Every famous shop.

Speaker 7 (01:03:54):
And when I was at Flockhouse in nineteen forty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Fifty of course for your Flockhouse.

Speaker 7 (01:04:01):
Yes I went. I went to the centenary too recently.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Goodness.

Speaker 7 (01:04:07):
Anyway, they had their top model flying model was called
the Red Bird Junior, and you had all these strips
of elastic in the tail through to the back, a
hook on the back of the propeller and you'd wind
it up about one hundred and twenty times in one direction,
and then you'd launch us up into the wind and

(01:04:27):
it would climb at about forty five degrees to about
one hundred feet, and then the wind virtually governed what
it would do, and sometimes it would both for miles
and get caught up in pine trees, and you became
a very pine tree climber recovering your aircraft.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
And you know when you talk about were some of
them made from solid bowls? So you say they were
carved from solid bowlser.

Speaker 7 (01:05:01):
Well late when you got sits in the solid piece
of and maltzer and you show them and glued them.
But you remember the old tea chests they used to
have lead miney in them, and they were made they're
coming from Solon and they were made of baltzer, and
that was a good supply of baltzer. And during the

(01:05:22):
war I would go to the library and Dennevert and
asked them if they did a copy of James All
the World Aircraft, and towards nineteen forty five forty six
that had about forty or fifty planes of aircraft made
by the different Nations for use in it during the war,

(01:05:45):
and I had about two hundred of these little things
with up to a foot diameter hanging from the ceiling
in my bedroom. Goodness and my mother and sister that
I give up once you rife all the dust off
the and then I went to flockhouse. When I came home,
I put them all in the box and put them
in they head and that's where there's still are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Hey, when you got your model from Model Lay, did
you get them through mail order?

Speaker 15 (01:06:13):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
How'd that work?

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
Well? It worked very well because the packets were about
up to eighteen inches long, you know, depending on the
woods to the wings and the length of the fuselids,
and they were varying sizes. And we had no trouble
with the post It was just that once you took
the order and the mail order, you'd buy a mail

(01:06:39):
order from the post office and posted up to them
and you'd have a sheet, just a single sheet of paper,
was about forty different models that you could get. Some
of them were non flying and others were flying.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Did you say that sends you a catalog? Is it
how you got it?

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:06:59):
The catalog was just a yellow sheet about eighteen inches square,
all folded up. Then it had these small pictures, the
different ones, and what the what the kit cost?

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Okay, okay, you still you should get back into it.

Speaker 7 (01:07:20):
Not at a ninety one on the trade.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
You should get them out. You should get them out.

Speaker 7 (01:07:28):
Oh well, I will get them out sometime. If anything.
My boyfriend helped on the pane. But the mother was
a teacher, so they went to university, became professional people,
and they were never interested in model airplanes.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
That's a curse.

Speaker 7 (01:07:46):
No, it's just the way the life goes. You have
to accept it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Yeah, fear enough, fear enough? How any planes had been
your ethic? I beg you pardon, how any planes would
be in your etic?

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
Well, I suppose I made about one handred and one
hundred and fifty. What really got me started It went
to pair of brin during the some holidays about nineteen
forty three, and I pinched it in the condensed milk
and took it into the back and I secreted there
and I just they have a little seasons having a

(01:08:21):
sack from it. And then on a Sunday morning I
could hear these funny noises on the other side of
the park. So I went through and there was a
pair of pan Aerodrome and the Worrington Model Eros. People
were having their annual display of model aeroplanes and they
had little diesel with two se see diesel motors and

(01:08:45):
anything up to five secs and ed comp special and
Olson that was a top American model, a diesel model,
and you mixed ether with something your other else and
that was the fuel. But anyway, there was dozens and
dozens of these planes being flying the rail, but the

(01:09:07):
wind would blow them across the road and out to
where the Manuka and flats and gorse was, and those
boys were run after them and retrieved them, and the
owners would come anxiously looking for their planes, and we
would be walking through the scrub and mud and that
sort of thing, and they say, careful, boy, don't trick,

(01:09:29):
don't trip, because they didn't want their model.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
But are they are they packaged safely in the attic?

Speaker 7 (01:09:39):
I beg, pardon, Have.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
You got them packaged safely in the etic?

Speaker 10 (01:09:44):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:09:46):
The airhouse was built in nineteen twenty eight, and that's
a big old house and there's all sorts of places
and tops of cupboards in that where we had the
ever look and they're stacked in there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
They should be in a museum and a special display
for we've gone to look at your handiwork.

Speaker 7 (01:10:06):
If anyone would like to tell me where there's a
mutine that would be interested, they can help the lot's.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Trying to think of a museum that wouldn't be interested.
Nice to hear from you. I enjoyed that, Thank you,
Laurie Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:10:22):
Hey.

Speaker 16 (01:10:22):
If anyone's looking for a proper, real old model shop,
it's the one in Palmerston North. It's called Mister Models
Limited right now. Yeah, And it's all the aircraft and
stuff hanging from the from the ceiling and lots of
cards and stuff. I'm not a model myself. I popped
in there last year. I wanted to. I had wanted

(01:10:44):
to get something repaired. I had a a or an
intricate sort of outrigger canoe I'd brought up in the
Total House back in the seventies and had some broken
bits on it, and I wanted to get somebody to
do the leshing and stuff. And I say there was
a model a model ship in his window, but he

(01:11:05):
didn't have anybody here that was or fine that would
he didn't think to be able to repair it for me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
But I hope you've played that. I hope you paid
the total hour and fair price for his livelihood as
Bavello did you.

Speaker 16 (01:11:18):
Well, that's his way back. We were working up there
and here we go there probably let's see, uh ninety
seventy four, we did doing some mapping up there.

Speaker 10 (01:11:30):
That.

Speaker 16 (01:11:31):
Yeah, there wasn't too much going on up here. Somebody
for the hell of a lot of work into the
thing that you know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
That guy going on about his models before the news.
Those they tend to be bolts of ones, and you
had tissue paper that was sort of shrunk over to day.

Speaker 16 (01:11:49):
That's right, you get some of them had solid bodies,
and there was that was tissue paper. He said he
was using bits of old t chests and stuff like that,
wasn't he?

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
And so dodging with the lead lead and the tea
I wasn't happy to hear about that.

Speaker 11 (01:12:01):
I didn't know it was lead.

Speaker 16 (01:12:02):
I thought it was those tea chests. I thought they
were lined with all my it's like it was like
a heavy like a silk paper. But maybe it was
a type of lead, which you thought maybe of these
days probably wouldn't pass muster as far as you know,
getting around food, No, hope not. But anyway, you'd be

(01:12:23):
interesting to see because you know, some of them you
could launch them with a big rubber band, you know,
like a slingshot type thing. But the yeah, I just
haven't got the probably the patients to work on on
on models.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
No one has. Laurie and this and this, she actually
taken leave of your senses. But your models would be terrible.
Then you're got to paint them. And the trouble with
model planes. You paint them. If they look terrible, then
you've got to hide them because you know, you've got
to have a fairly you've got to be fairly adept
at painting them to the look.

Speaker 16 (01:12:54):
And he could, I'd think, yeah, I don't think my
wife's got much patients for that sort of stuff anyway,
For hanging around the place picking dust.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Well, that's right. Then you've got to work out where
to put them.

Speaker 16 (01:13:06):
Yeah, yeah, But he talking of the events on that
Outregger thing. There's hed a lot of New Zealand competitors up.
There's the what they call the International Short Course. Well
it's but which is the sort of a bit like
the wack Armor. It's up in the Hawaii at present.
It has been running for that about the sixth day

(01:13:27):
right now on the Big Island Heilo. But he're going strong.
It's I'm just amazing how many there's about three thousand
competitors up there, but amazing the number of peddlers that
have not even Europe. But Canada is doing pretty well.

Speaker 7 (01:13:48):
But uh, you know the.

Speaker 16 (01:13:52):
The New Zealand contingent, you know, it's extremely low. Tahitians dominate.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
I suppose how do they get the how do they
get their vessels up there? They shipped?

Speaker 16 (01:14:02):
No, well they're all supplied basically. Yeah, for most of
the racing. I was actually up in London last the
last time they had it. But yeah, they so they
race singles, sixes and twelve in the twelves made up.
They put two six two sixers together. So I think

(01:14:25):
the first few days have been racing the singles and
the twelves. That's the twelve's finished now, so they take
them apart and they are on the sixth and they're
short coursing up to around a better kilometer some of them,
and they have a number of a bit like when
they race up at Lake Carapiro. You know, they have
to maybe race two hundred and fifty meters to a

(01:14:47):
turn up and down, you know, three several times. It's
pretty pretty vigorous. But it's just the range of ages there,
like a generational things. So they've got teams start sixteen
years old and right up at the top end teams
of seventy five year olds and in certain visions all
the way through, so you could have you know, sort

(01:15:08):
of grandparents right on a sixteen year old. And you know,
it's just the just the numbers there, and hell on
a woman, middle aged woman sort of peddling high to
really go at it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Yeah, good, Larry, I hear from me. Thank you. Twelve
past ten, Ellen Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:15:27):
Hello, yeah, greetings Marcus, my friend. It looks like getting
a lot of rain down south. It's according to the
weather report, you're going to be luged just a few
days starting tomorrow. Powry. Yeah, anyway, don't worry. But why
I'm calling is with.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
My saying this around and turn me not to worry.

Speaker 7 (01:15:55):
No, no, no, no, I said, don't worry. Don't worry.
Now that what I was wanting to talk about, Marcus,
was my pet subject of astronomy as a hobby. You know,
we've got we've got most people have two eyes that function.
They can go outside and they look at the sky

(01:16:16):
and they can interpret the sky and the makeup of it.
It's just such an amazing pastime I belong to.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
I know, sound rude, but most of us get freaked out.
It's too vast and unfathomable. Freaks me out.

Speaker 7 (01:16:33):
But they can, for instance, see the moon. Yes, and
with the moon, there are opportunities, for instance, to combine
it with other interests such as painting.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
That's a good point.

Speaker 7 (01:16:49):
Yeah, you know, I mean the things that people can do.
They don't have to get involved in the in the
broader topic like I do when I do Ekeuroa, which
I send down to you. You know, there's a fair
range of top books that are able to be opened up.
There are millions of stars and planetary systems, and it's

(01:17:14):
just amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
And yeah, and I guess it's the goal. I guess
it's the golden age of it too. With all those
probes and things out there, we're getting more and more information, aren't.

Speaker 7 (01:17:23):
We Absolutely correct? Absolutely, you know, there is so much
so that I get excited about we've recently had the
re emergence of Martariki. All the school children have been
learning about Martariqi and the and the plier of these
the other other month. Now, you know, there's a whole

(01:17:44):
there's so many tentacles for the hobby that go into
all of society culturally, artistically, you know, creatively.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
How are we with public telescopes these days? Because you
don't hear so much about those. I know the one
I had a beautiful one in the cargole at the museum.
They got rid of that, They sent it out to
the WAPs, which I thought was a great shame. Yeah,
because I think it was a hobbyists had built there.
I think it might have been Old Biggs father the
rocket labs father God built there. But that's gone, which

(01:18:18):
I think is a shame. But are they public? Are
the public? Are there public telescopes that people can go to?

Speaker 7 (01:18:24):
There are there are cubs now throughout the country, for instance,
my local one of the Horror Fernea Astronomical Society. Then
you know down in Canterbury there's there's all sorts of
opportunities for people to get together and meet. They don't
to get in with sophisticated knowledge and all the equipment.

(01:18:45):
It just starts really when people open their eyes and
look what's outside. It's that simple. And and telescopes are
accessible the excellent resource in Dunedin. The directorate at the
at the Otago Museum will tell you all about.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Oh he's good value, he's yeah, he's alive wire that one.
He's always out about doing stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
Yeah, he seems to be.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
He seems to have a he seems to be will into.

Speaker 7 (01:19:15):
It absolutely correct. And that's the thing that about the hobby.
It touches so many different people, such a diverse array
of people, from North Cape to the Bluff.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Did you get when did you? When did you get
into an?

Speaker 15 (01:19:30):
Allen?

Speaker 7 (01:19:31):
I got into it. I'm a bit of an about
nineteen nineteen eighty says I'm the only thing which mostly
I'll say, I'll tell them you know that I'm actually
a legally blind person. Yes, I don't see, so I
don't get a lot of what other visual persons get.

(01:19:54):
So I read a lot of books and use my
magnifying glass to study. There's so much involved in the hobby.
Even though my papers don't function as they there are
lots of other occasions when people, you know, just for
instance ago, just assume you're traveling in your car and

(01:20:15):
you've got kids in the back, and the kids want.

Speaker 10 (01:20:18):
Something to do.

Speaker 7 (01:20:19):
What about getting into sort of see if they can
find a few planets on the way up the road.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
You speak to the question about what had got you
into it?

Speaker 7 (01:20:28):
What got me into it? A general knowledge of communication.
I'm also a radio hem the gateway yep, yeah, got it,
And it's that linkage between that. I've actually worked for
the International Space Station some years ago. It was one
of the privileged asked a few that work the astronauts.

(01:20:51):
That was fabulous. I'll never forget it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
What we're doing? Hey, what were you doing?

Speaker 7 (01:20:59):
Oh? Just basically passing numbers and exchanging and greetings. How
a sort of thing?

Speaker 15 (01:21:04):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
We were you working and using for?

Speaker 7 (01:21:06):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Was that doing it? Remotely? Oh?

Speaker 16 (01:21:08):
No, no, no, I was.

Speaker 7 (01:21:10):
I was in Wanganui at the time, and the astronauts
were were obviously overdoing the thing, you know, but I
can't really remember the detail the old gray matter. You
know what, mate, I'm going to be seventy seven tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
You're gonna do anything? Are you going to do anything?

Speaker 7 (01:21:33):
It's my birthday tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
What will you do for it?

Speaker 7 (01:21:37):
Well, my daughter's coming and taking me up for lunch.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Where would you go anywhere? Anywhere? Exciting?

Speaker 15 (01:21:42):
Ellen?

Speaker 7 (01:21:43):
Ah, I'm very partial to ethnic food. And I have
a friend in Livin who is who runs a tie restaurant.
So we're going to go to Mike's restaurant tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
And is there a good tie? Is there a good time?
Is there a good tie? In leven Is there a
good tie?

Speaker 7 (01:22:05):
There are actually three got three Thai restaurants And yes,
there's three ones on the middle block on the left
hand side. That's what I'm going to be going to tomorrow.
Then there are two up the up the road and
the next block, one on the right hand side, one
on the left end side.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
Happy birthday for tomorrow and I'm love you to hear
from you. By the way, in the UK, six million
people steal from self checkout yep, and they put they
know the banana track. Shoppers put through an item through
as fruit or vegetable to pay a fraction of the price.
I don't quite know how that works, but there we go. Well,

(01:22:51):
I think people think they should really have staff to
check you through growing backlash against the technology, and people
don't think it's stealing either. I've never checked through anything
wrong to my knowledge, but yeah, six million people in

(01:23:21):
the UK do that. Three barely explained the banana trick.
One of eight shoppers choose a cheap riding of the
one they're actually buying when slipping on the screen. So
I guess they're putting through evocados, his onions or something
like that. I'm surprised they don't film them and book

(01:23:42):
them for that. Hobbies in the America's Cup Jason Marcus, Welcome, Hello, Jason.

Speaker 9 (01:23:49):
Hey Marcus, Pails are doing good, Jason. I was just
calling it around the sude market self checkout. I was thinking,
as one of your younger listeners, I'm a big fan
of them. But I think from the supermarket point of view,
they probably save a lot of money in stuff wages.
Oh they think, you know, instead of six staff checkouts,

(01:24:11):
they run on machines and that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Yeah, they save a fortune and people. I think people
know they're saving a fortune and they probably realize that
they're not going to get as much across the till,
and they're okay with that because I mean, you know,
people are going to people are going to people can't
help themselves chicking out stuff at a different price.

Speaker 9 (01:24:32):
Oh absolutely, you were a dumple earlier of avocado and onions, right,
But I think given the cost of operating staff, they
probably factored that in.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
And yes, I'm sure they don't. Yeah, but the fact
that they're factoring in almost means for some people that
is acceptable, doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:24:51):
Yeah, I suppose so, and I'm unfortunately I think you're
always going to find that. But yeah, I guess there's
there's more aspects to look at as well, where there's
software developers and you know, electrical people behind those checkouts
that are also being employed. Yeah, well they may not

(01:25:12):
have been beforeow a different point of sales industry. Well,
I'll try to be curious to see the numbers behind it, though.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
I think your tip, well, there in the UK six
percent of people will put through things mark wrongly, I
know six million people. I think it was more than that,
what's what most of the UK. But you know, when
it comes to things like apples, you can almost think, oh, well,
actually I don't even know what brand of this apple is.
I just put them through as the cheapest and knowing
if they interfere. If you get busted, you can sort

(01:25:41):
of oh, say, simple mistake. I thought these were those apples.

Speaker 9 (01:25:46):
Yeah, I and you definitely get that with the same
same vegetable or fruit and and you know, nuts and
that sort of thing that you might find.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Eight percent of people said they've done it. I prefer
self checkout. I find it quicker for me.

Speaker 12 (01:26:01):
I like it.

Speaker 9 (01:26:02):
Yeah, I'm EXCENTI I was in the Studer market the
other day just for for bread and bottle of milk,
the usual pick up, and it's much quicker, especially first
thing in the morning when when uniting a chetty move.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
Exactly because you'll say, how are you only what year?

Speaker 9 (01:26:16):
How are you on a slightly different league fans, I'm
meantually just watching that manly Typies game as well. But yeah,
I got to say I love a good suburban ground
as opposed to some of these big city stadiums. These
little suburban grounds, especially on Thursday night. I think it's
I think it's great gets the whole community out there.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Yeah, and that's what makes Rugby League and Sydney is
such a big dealers. They've got all those urban ground,
suburban grounds and that's where it's exciting because people walking
down go to the pubs beforehand. It just adds so
much to the.

Speaker 9 (01:26:54):
Sports worried members. It's all a shame we don't have
a similar atmosphere and Mount Smart with shrouds and local.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
The weird thing was Jason when I had a bit
of a tour of the league grounds in Australia, right,
the thing that staggered me outside every ground was a
big area like about twenty meters ten meters by ten
meters that was reserved for prams and what that And

(01:27:29):
in every one of those was about one hundred prams.
And what it meant to me is families with toddlers
were walking to the matches. We had never see that
in the stadium in New Zealand, would you, mainly because
families aren't going and mainly because people can't walk there.

Speaker 9 (01:27:43):
Yeah, I totally agree. And the thing I love to
see in the n RL is you see a lot
of especially on Sunday in Australia. You get two o'clock
in the afternoon games great and it gets the families
and they get the kids in there. And I don't
have kids on my own, but I've I've got nephews
and nieces and I love taking the footy and that
time of day means they can get in there and

(01:28:05):
get involved.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
Yeap.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
What went wrong with the Warriors?

Speaker 9 (01:28:10):
No this season?

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:28:12):
Ah, Look, there's people who will know a lot more
than I do, that's for sure. I'm just a fan.

Speaker 5 (01:28:19):
It's all right.

Speaker 9 (01:28:20):
I'll be there every day whether we win, lose or otherwise.
There's people that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
From the You ever got a sense of it from
the crowd about what happened?

Speaker 9 (01:28:32):
Nah, Look, I personally don't. I don't think you can
blame coaching.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
I don't think I'm not saying to blame the coach
exists good last.

Speaker 9 (01:28:39):
Year absolutely, and and a similar playing roster. I think
part of the Warrior's issue is there's always a little
bit of culture in there when you compare to some
of the bigger clubs you look at, you know, winning cultures,
losing cultures, and I think the Warriors when when they're

(01:28:59):
up there up and when they're down there down, and
unfortunately this has been a bit of a downside.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
Nice to hear from Jason taking twenty four to eleven. Hello,
Josie ats Marcus good evening.

Speaker 11 (01:29:10):
Yes, right back years my dad used to be very
excited about when they're watching the Mantis Cup. Is Australia
were going for it and then it was kept her
saying every night began to win us and there was
an Australian rillionaire helping them get it. That's how it

(01:29:32):
got here, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Oh, Ellen Bond won Ellan Bond won it.

Speaker 11 (01:29:38):
Yes, that was right, back and the wind killing the
with the wing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Remember they had a wing keel. They kept it under
a skirt so no one could see it.

Speaker 11 (01:29:47):
Yeah, that's right. And then you still and took it
off them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
No they didn't, didn't they. Oh yeah, no, Then I
think they won it back and we took it off
them in San Diego with Peter Blake.

Speaker 11 (01:30:02):
Oh yes, back said, yeah, the member my dad used
the excited and I wonder what he was talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Yeah, it must have been nineteen eighty three.

Speaker 11 (01:30:12):
Then, yes, that was the beginning, well, no, exit, it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Was the beginning, but it was the beginning of the
fact that was going because for a long time it
was just the America's America, I mean, the same place
owned it the whole time, the America's. It's quite a
complicated history. It's probably worth refreshing ourselves on the history
tonight because it's yeah, because it's kind of hard to

(01:30:40):
remember it all. If I look up a condensed history,
I can read it all to you. Very complicated. America's Cup,

(01:31:02):
one of the oldest international trophies, was first offered is
one hundred Cup in eighteen fifty one a race around
the Isle of Wight. The Cup was won by the
America a scooter from New York and Subtletacy of Queen
subsequently became known as the America Cup. The American winner
of the Cup dated to the New York Yacht Club
in eighteen fifty seven for a perpetual internationals challenge competition,

(01:31:30):
and that's the situation. Since the nineteen twenties. The American
Cup has been one defending vessa one challenging. The original
terms of the America's Cup imposed me disadvantages on challenging yachts. Yes,

(01:31:54):
in fact, until fifty six, yet to Salia yacht there
to compete, which made that to build heavier yachts that
could actually sail across the ocean. In nineteen eighty three,
after the American yachts had successfully defended the Cup twenty
four times at a loss since eighteen seventy. The Australian

(01:32:16):
yacht Australia two won the Cup and the next race
in nineteen eighty seven, the Americans from San Diego regained
the Cup. The controversial race of nineteen eighty eight between
the winning Americans sixty foot Catamran and a New Zealand
forty meter monohole had to be decided by the courts

(01:32:39):
and provoked a redefinition of the rules. In nineteen ninety two,
a new and faster yacht was designed twenty three meters
in length, was won by the Rulings in the Yacht Squadron,
only the second victory by a non American challenger in

(01:32:59):
the history of the competition. The skipper was Russell Coots,
who will also lead his end to win in the
year two thousand. Coots, skippering for a Swiss team, won
a third consecutive victory in two thousand and three. In

(01:33:20):
two thousand and seven, the Swiss defended its titled American
team owned by Larry Ellison Oracle recaptured the Cup in
a two race competition that was dominated by numerous court battles.
Then in two thousand and thirteen, the US had one
of the most dramatic comebacks in sporting history. Jimmy Spittle

(01:33:42):
was training in an eight to one in the Best
of seventeen series and won the remaining eight races, and
then from then on he even won it. I forget
was the next time? Was it something like that?

Speaker 18 (01:34:02):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Nice to hear for you, Josi. Keep your calls coming
through American Cup, history, Australian TI and hobbies. Anything else
you want to talk about tonight. I've lost the will
to keep it on one topic tonight, so anything you've
got will do me. There might be something entirely different
you want to mention. You might have breaking news where
you are. There might be something on your mind you've
meant to bring to our attention for a while. So

(01:34:26):
let's be hearing from you. Not fussy this time of
the night, but get in touch and self scanning. I
imagine there's a lot of people not paying for the bags.
Thirty five cents for a bag, and they're good bags,

(01:34:48):
but they're never with you when you need them. That's
the trouble with them. I'd rather just rent one ten
to eleven, Marcus till twelve, blah blah blah. Now way
that's Marcus. Good evening and welcome here, he goes, goodbye.

Speaker 15 (01:35:15):
He just recently been through the airport and we fully
from Willington the Queens down and that was all good.

Speaker 14 (01:35:25):
Coming back.

Speaker 15 (01:35:26):
There's a bit of trouble using the kiosk there. We
lined up at the things, we line up trying to
put our bag through, and no one was moving and
anyone was standing around. And it wasn't until this guy
went up to the some random lady with the hivers
on and said, oh, where do we check out bags?

(01:35:47):
And nothing's moving and she's like, oh, have you got
your boarding past? And he's like, well, that's what we
do at the counter and she's like, oh no, no,
you do it over here, and so she walks them
through and he's going.

Speaker 14 (01:35:58):
Through the machine and I'm looking and I'm thinking, so
I have to do that as well.

Speaker 1 (01:36:02):
And then.

Speaker 15 (01:36:04):
And then he goes to take his bag and there's
no one there either, so he's gotta.

Speaker 14 (01:36:10):
Put his own.

Speaker 15 (01:36:11):
You've got to put your own peg on, and then
you've got to put your bag on the waistcale thing,
wash a few buttons, and the way it goes, you
do it all yourself. It's like self check out at
the supermarket, but it's at the airport.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
I think there's been around for a while. I think
there's normally someone. I think it's been, but there's normally
there's normally someone observing, isn't there.

Speaker 15 (01:36:36):
Yeah, but they might as well be behind the counter
doing it all for you instead of telling you how
to do it yourself, Like I just wanted to.

Speaker 14 (01:36:43):
I wanted to see a human You don't want a
human touch?

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
No, you like the human touch?

Speaker 16 (01:36:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:36:48):
Well, yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 14 (01:36:49):
A big fan of the robots. I like humans and
it's it's jobs and things I do enjoy. I'd rather
I'd rather see what the people that are standing around
telling you how to do it, they might as well
be behind the counter doing it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
Yeah, but how are you with the he asks, because
the people have gone into those, haven't they.

Speaker 14 (01:37:10):
Oh I had to do it a couple of times,
keep making mistakes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
Did you have a good time in Queenstown, Wade?

Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:37:18):
I actually wasn't too there. It's a very nice place
to look at.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
Yeah, those mountains, the remarkables that the mountains are spectacular,
aren't they? Over the lake?

Speaker 12 (01:37:26):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:37:26):
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely wonderful. And the UN's Law went.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
On that, Oh they have the singer the old Did
they have the Old Times sing along on the UN's Law.

Speaker 15 (01:37:38):
Nah, they didn't.

Speaker 14 (01:37:39):
I didn't do a sing a long.

Speaker 18 (01:37:42):
Well.

Speaker 14 (01:37:43):
Yeah, that was good though. And they went and I
went to Milford. Yeah, that the sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
It's a great trip, long day, long day, but a
great trip.

Speaker 14 (01:37:54):
Oh, absolutely, it's fantastic.

Speaker 18 (01:37:56):
But yeah, it's a great, great place to look at.

Speaker 14 (01:38:00):
It's a bit of an open vortex through the Beckers.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Yeah, and I opened vortex through the Vega. That's the
best I've heard about Queenstown. I saw a couple there,
one walking around queens and once turned to the other
one said, that's it. We've run out of money. Well
that's Queen's outstand It's job. Yeah, just an hour to
the start of the America's Cups. You might have something
of interest to say. And that always takes me a

(01:38:33):
while to remember the history of it and how many
times we had it. So get in touch you want
to mention that. So that starts tonight at midnight. It'll
be on TV three. We are the defenders, and I
think we've defended it twice. This will be our second

(01:39:03):
defense of the time. It's kind of confusing because someone
happened during COVID. So yeah, Chimney has been an exciting
history and once the key He's got involved, they didn't
make it a lot more exciting. Let me just check

(01:39:26):
at the quicker Wikipedia page. Yes, New Zealand won it
in Bermuda, that's right. We lost it against Spittle in
San Francisco. And we all knew that so well, didn't we.
You know why I knew that so well because Peter

(01:39:50):
Listen was always going on about We always knew that
there was lighter winds behind Alcatraz. So New Zealand lost
at nine to eight at San Francisco with Jimmy Spittle.
Then we went against Oracle at Bermuda and we cleaned

(01:40:12):
up seven to one. It was very very quick. Then
we bought it to Auckland in twenty twenty one and
Luna was the Challenger of record and we won it
seven three and now we go against everyone else in Barcelona,

(01:40:37):
so very interesting. New Zealand has won it once in
nineteen ninety five. That was the America's Cup is now
New Zealand's Cup. And then we had the big marches
and the Red Sox and all the people around town
on the streets. That was Pete Montgomery. America's Cup is
now New Zealand's Cup. Then we defended it in the

(01:41:04):
year two thousand. Then we lost it in two thousand
and three when Dan Barker went on and on about
this damn boat to a LINGI yeah, and then we
won it back at Bermuda. Anyway, that's how it all goes.

(01:41:27):
Ashley Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:41:29):
There, are you going Marcus?

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
Good?

Speaker 8 (01:41:32):
Yeah, no, all good.

Speaker 13 (01:41:33):
Yeah, I'm just sort of hanging on.

Speaker 4 (01:41:36):
I've got it all set for record.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
Yeah oh yeah, yeah. Well they just so you know,
they are replaying it at seven, so they don't even
need to. I mean, I know it's easy to do that,
but yeah, okay, I get yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 12 (01:41:48):
So no, I'm actually a folk buller by trade, so
you know, just been into the stuff all the time.

Speaker 13 (01:41:56):
They yeah, they sort of well, you know, I suppose.

Speaker 18 (01:42:02):
It's all about money and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
But I was kind of fished off when they decided
to move it over to Barcelona, you know, all I.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Think, yeah, I think we all were, but I mean,
this is this is.

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
New Zealand's Marcus, you know this is this is like
you know, okay, we us guys are good at this ship.

Speaker 18 (01:42:22):
Yeah, so you know, why don't we retain it?

Speaker 16 (01:42:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
I think we discussed ear you're on the show actually,
but yeah, your language at Flora but I'll leave it there.
But yeah, it has been replayed at tomorrow morning, so
for those that need know, it's on TV three tonight
and then they get well tonight at midnight, but then
again tomorrow morning. Could someone tell me how long their
matches are expected to take because it might be over
quite quickly. I don't know what the winds are like

(01:42:50):
either in the old Mediterranean, although we saw it at
the Olympics. They're quite petchy, aren't they, Marcus. Ever since changed,
we're made to recycling, requiring bottle plastic bottles to be
rinsed out and removing the leads. Bottle tops and caps
are blowing out. The recycled bags are now the new
cigarette butts and urban waterways. Just like getting rid of

(01:43:12):
plastic shopping bags, I now see more peck and shaved
soccer shoppers cutting the groceries and cardboard boxes. I think
everything's been quite happy with them banning of the old
plastic bags. It was a good thing, was a very
good thing. People moaned for about a day that they
go over extremely quickly. We're talking the hobbies also tonight

(01:43:36):
if we want to talk, oh, eight hundred and eighty
tenenty and the America's Cup. But sweary that last guy,
I thought, But that's all right up late. But you know,
read the room. If you had anything to add or
talk about other stuff, good, Oh eight hundred eighty tenny monumbers,
Marcus welcome, HDDLE twelve thirteen past eleven. If you want

(01:44:00):
to be a part of it, now, get in touch.
If there is something different that you want to talk about.
But we're also talking about self checkout. Eight percent of

(01:44:21):
people in the UK admitted to pulling through something at
a cheaper price. Not much they can do about that.
Of course, they can always bring back the people on
the tills, can't they. And much inquiry as to why
the super yacht capsized because apparently you're not supposed to

(01:44:46):
lift the keel. I don't know if the kel was
lifted or not, but that's something that much discussion has
been out been made about.

Speaker 4 (01:44:55):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
So you get in touch. You've got the thing to add.
But America's Cup also for this it's been an exciting
and varied history. I there must have been Oracle's decision
to go to Immuda, but we already cleaned up there,
didn't It was over very very quickly because the races
were much shorter. Hi, Paul, Marcus welcome, Hey, how are you?

Speaker 5 (01:45:20):
Marcus?

Speaker 16 (01:45:20):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
Paul, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:45:23):
Look, I think we'll invested in in the final series
of this race that's coming up, because anyone that says,
are we really care about it, but we.

Speaker 3 (01:45:35):
Actually do agreed.

Speaker 5 (01:45:38):
But my question is because it's a sport and we
want to win.

Speaker 2 (01:45:46):
My question is this well, big big build up. Sorry,
it's all right, I'm there. I can't wait to hear it. Yeah,
the question, yeah, Paul's question.

Speaker 5 (01:45:59):
We did we actually, as taxpayers funds the America's Cup
when it was here.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
Oh to a fortune, and they always made that it
was going to be worth so much for the economy.
There always times and they've always said that the trickle
down effect will be a fortune, but it was always
wildly exaggerated. I think no money came in. But the
government was in for a fortune, weren't they. It was
keys government wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:46:27):
Yeah, I think you're right. Wats However, we were invested
in the sport because of that. Yep. And where's money
go once Dalton's have won it? Where does it actually go?

(01:46:51):
Does it come back?

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
The I just read the article right, it's big money.

Speaker 5 (01:47:03):
Yeah, it's huge.

Speaker 2 (01:47:08):
Aucan Council and the government provided two hundred and forty
nine point five million and funding combined towards the thirty
sixth American Cup. The government portion total one hundred and
thirty six point five minu for construction, the event fee,
and commercial and base related costs.

Speaker 5 (01:47:32):
That's unbelievable. So does that money come back once he's
won it overseas?

Speaker 2 (01:47:39):
No, Well, lot of that went into the hosting of
it and building that area, that cup village and stuff.
So but they always said it was going to be
worth so much more in benefits for the city, But
of course no one turned up because no one ever does.
And a too well they always they they reckon when

(01:48:00):
you have that trickle down, you know, the the I
forget the name of it, about the the impact reports
that they're always about ten, they're always about wrong by
a factor of ten.

Speaker 5 (01:48:12):
Yeah, But just wondering.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
People wanted it because people are right behind and now
people are already saying we should have paid this much
to have at this time. I think, no, we're better
off having it off shore.

Speaker 5 (01:48:24):
I never have it here, but I want some of
the trickle money back.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
But all the rate, all the teams are coming from
Europe also apart from the Americans, so it's kind of great.
I mean it's unfair to Priora to come this down.
I mean they're prouda have been great, They've come every year.

Speaker 5 (01:48:42):
Yeah, no, but they're worse more than this country. Anyway,
take care.

Speaker 2 (01:48:47):
Nice to hear from your Paul and George. My question,
I'm good. My question is I pleased to find all that.
And I don't know if it was Key's government. Look
like Stuart nsh is involved. There might have been between
the two of them, the Interregnham. But look, I think

(01:49:08):
probably New Zealand is probably because of its prominence from
the America's Cup. I think we've got a fity good
reputation as boat builders. Although yeah, I'm surprised we've got
no one from Vanua two wanting to oh was it

(01:49:29):
Tokelaus from the Tokelaus wanting to fix Laurie's Bovello just
forty most the America's cup starts. You might have something
you want to say about that, and we'd like to
hear that. What you got what should be shot complicated history.
But I'll tell you what. We're excited. It's got where
it's got to loving it now up on the you know,

(01:49:51):
with crashents and knives to cut themselves free. It's exciting.
And also hobbies. Anyone found a new hobby to be
excited about? What is that hobby? And what's Australian temu?
I see that's come up on my feet. I don't
even know what that is? And let's have got me curious.
Why would you in Australian one with the Chinese one's

(01:50:13):
so very good? Can't quite work out?

Speaker 15 (01:50:17):
What does it?

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
Also? Self check out? Are you tempted to steal? Do
you wish you could steal? Why don't you steal? Is
that because you've got your internal clock or something that's happening?
Get in touch. My name's Marcus Hittle, Midnight, there's something different,
What is it? I'm up for it, any of the discussion.

(01:50:40):
I'm here for Oh wait, a hundred eighty ten there
might be something entirely different and we can handle that.
A twenty three past eleven our man, he's gone over
now one of the Travoidovich's. I think Turbo Marcus. This

(01:51:00):
is good information from Mary. The preliminary Regantic consists of
four races and is on over the next four day.
Each race is a maximum time to be run. The
twenty twenty one America's Cup, how did you den would
have brought more money had COVID not intervened, so it happened.

(01:51:27):
I don't know what the weather's like from Actually, just
a bit of a check. If I could see their
website for the America's Cup, because I could probably do
a weather update from Barcelona. Let me find their website
thirty seventh America's Cup. I found the website. People, I'm
on it. Don't worry, I'm on it. Where's the weather?

(01:51:55):
Event info? I don't don't show me. I had to
sign something starts in thirty six minutes. I'm on the calendar.
Now I can't find the weather because we could tune
and there be no racing because it's to calm.

water just about him and a wet paddic We used
to have royal muddy paddicks. You just drive straight across.

Speaker 2 (01:55:11):
It's got it down here as the Orsco trans track.
Could that be the same thing. Yeah, that's it, okay,
we'd you have it?

Speaker 18 (01:55:21):
I had it in Loan, North Canterbury.

Oh okay.

Speaker 9 (01:55:24):
And what's the bunt off?

Speaker 18 (01:55:27):
He'd had it? And going through into it was the
Rutherfords they used on Rutherford Station going in by Hamna there.
Oh yeah, they could climb up the side of a wall.

Speaker 2 (01:55:41):
Why'd you get rid of it?

Speaker 1 (01:55:43):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:55:44):
I actually bought a ute and yeah, now I wish
i'd still had it, And now I can't find one.
I found one for sale on trade me down south.

Speaker 2 (01:55:54):
What's the history of the company.

Speaker 18 (01:55:58):
I met the guy that made them? He was and

It's got an interesting front exel, hasn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:56:35):
Yeah, it's just a straight box actual there was no
suspension that was a bit of a downside, but I
mean it. You know it was incredible.

Speaker 7 (01:56:42):
You just just go.

Speaker 18 (01:56:44):
You could go to the river beds and eating in them.

Speaker 2 (01:56:47):
Do you know how many were built and when they
were built?

Speaker 18 (01:56:51):
Just about Yeah, I've got too many photos. It's all
written on the guy in Milton. He's he's done a
full list of what who made them? How many it
was and I think it was about fourteen mates. I
found it hit I'll read you what it says. That's
what it says. Trans Track Poorty Escort motive. This one

(01:57:15):
was the seventy nine. Owner was Paul Scott. I assume
maybe that's the guy that owns a garage. The trans
Track was manufactured by r VCO off Road Vehicle Company
in Amberley, North Canterbury. They were sold by Stu Mitchell

(01:57:38):
and Graham Paul from m Clarkoll in the late seventies.
In the early eighties but as far as I understand,
it was only about five under ten maye or something.
It was maybe fourteen at the most. I have seen

(01:57:58):
one right down near to a taffrey in Southland.

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
Yeah, there's one on the there's one. I found The
images in two eat On are you sure to a
tap or Tapanui always get them confused? Is one on
a photo on Tapanui taps from twenty fifteen.

Speaker 18 (01:58:19):
That'll be it. Yeah, it was in a panic. It
was someone's yard because I wish I'd stopped and had
a word to them about it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
Oh, I like your obsession. You need another one, You
need to get one back.

Speaker 18 (01:58:31):
Well, I've got pictures of Milne. My kids have never
seen it, but yeah, I mean you can just pull
anything with her. They top speed was twenty mile hour.
But you put a quarter of wood on the back
and you could go in the river bed and follow
right up and bring it out.

Speaker 2 (01:58:44):
You know, Hare's the guy you sold it to still
got it?

Speaker 18 (01:58:48):

Nice to talk. Thank you for that information to can
find that photo. So it's Marcus, welcome, all, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:59:10):
Just a little bit of from Trivia about the America's
Cup in nineteen eighty six. Prior to the America's Cup
being held in Fremantle. The B and Z sponsored a
road show and for three months, my daughter along with

(01:59:31):
other members of the B and Z and extra people
to run to drive traps and goodness knows what else,
were on the road for three months and went from
Kaitaia to Vicaraglokotia Bluff with a model of KZED seven

(01:59:52):
and they worked seven days a week raising money for
the B and z's challenge. They sold memorabilia of all sorts,
and they worked three weeks in a row, and then
they had a weeks holiday, and then they went back
and carried on and she had a wonderful trip right

(02:00:17):
round New Zealand. And I think of all the places
that they've visited, there was only about three that she
had never ever been to in her life before.

Speaker 4 (02:00:28):
I think.

Speaker 2 (02:00:28):
I think they might have been ninety could have been
nineteen eighty.

Speaker 19 (02:00:31):
Six, Yeah it was, it was eighty six. They were
raising the money, but I can't remember whether the race
was actually held in eighty six or whether it was
the beginning of eighty seven. And they had the big,
almost full sized model of the KSE. He had seven
on the back of a big transporter, and yeah, there

(02:00:53):
was as I say, they drove right round the right
round New Zealand. It was a tremendous trip for her
and members of the B and said were invited to
apply to go on and she was one of the
ones that was accepted. And I don't know how much
money they raised, but New Zealanders put their hands in

(02:01:17):
their pockets to help get them across the Fremantle.

Speaker 2 (02:01:20):
And I don't think we even made the final there,
did we, because I think it was between Stars and
Stripes and Australia.

Speaker 19 (02:01:27):
Yeah, I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (02:01:30):
I think I think it was Bond's America two, America
four and Coco Barough three. Norman Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:01:39):
Hi Marcus. Talking about the America's Cup. I happened to
have a certificate signed in the America's Cup in the
wall of paraphernalia that went with the advertising of it.
And this was for a miniature major cup, America's Cup,

(02:02:06):
and it was produced with the Captain with the Red
Sox in nineteen ninety five and I put on it.
The idea was there was five hundred of them, probably
distributed all over from New Zoom and it was done

(02:02:26):
by our Magic Imports or something I've got it there
and on my certificate the following number four nine five
and I put on it. The New Zoom won the
America's Cup on their fourth challenge in nineteen ninety five.

(02:02:48):
Also they won the Louis Vaton but the right to
challenge in the fourth month ninety five and that's all
on the certificate.

Speaker 7 (02:02:59):
Goodness, how's that?

Speaker 20 (02:03:02):
And I've still got a Yeah, I've still got the
advertisement that it came from. And they were two thousand
dollars because the America's Cup that we got was produced
by I think I've got it here is where is it?

Speaker 9 (02:03:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (02:03:30):
Your tankard is being made and engraved at C J
Vanders in Sheffield. The shipment is due in mid July.
The expect to be delivered out to you just after.
Just above that, and the tankard is exactly identical to

(02:03:52):
what the America's Cup is and it weighs sixteen ounces
of pure silver.

Speaker 2 (02:03:59):
It's not as big as it's a scale replica, is it.

Speaker 20 (02:04:02):
It's a scale replica?

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, I need to want to say that. Thanks, Norman,
appreciate it.
