Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from News Talks,
I'd be.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
In a better space of mind, frame of mind. That's
kind of my ambition for the next three hours fifty
three minutes tims along at midnight tonight, So so out
of work tonight, feel free to come through fairly loose,
like a goost. Not even though it's Tuesday. I've not
got one at the stage, not one particular single topic
that will probably dominate tonight. But we'll give the show

(00:35):
but a room to breathe, so there might be something
else you want to come through with then, you know, yeah,
more than welcome. Last night we're blessed with sort of
one topic night wind all night on driving and driving
tests and licenses. We've got that one out of the
way for another year, so we can move on beyond
from that, and that's kind of a good thing. You're
always good once in a while to get people to
talk about driving. It gets out there frustrations, but we do.

(00:56):
So what has stuck with me after that show? We
do seem to be an impatient lot on the road.
And why would New Zealanders be less patient than the
other country. I can't quite work out that. Why are
we in a hurry? Are we overworked? Are we too busy?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Are we bad time managers? Are we too laid back
and were leaving too late for our appointments? Can't work
out any of the answers to that, And I've thought
about that some today as I've planted trees. Anyway, and
why are we such a why are we so impatient

(01:35):
and so determined to overtake everything? Anyway, it might be
something to ponder for tonight. By the way, the other
thing you might want to ponder, which I thought was
quite interesting. And I don't know a huge amount about
McDonald's or McDonald's figures, but they've only just revealed, you know,

(02:00):
what Grimace is, that purple blob. Well, I found out
today what Grimace was supposed to be. I've never ever
thought about it, but no one's even known. But when
you find out what Grimace is, it's probably going to
surprise you because no one apparently knew what Grimace was.
I don't eve know what the point of Grimace was.
So one of those minifigures, and well maybe it was all,
I say, a minifigure. He's kind of involved with the

(02:23):
milkshake and part of the happy meals. Yes, this is right,
This is like McDonald's one oh one. But if you've, yeah,
if you have wondered about what Grimmace is, is there
anyone out there that has wondered that? That's the That's
the first part of the question, because without that, we
probably haven't got anything to tell you about that. But anyway,

(02:45):
back to Grimace, and I think I tell you what.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
I think.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
The McDonald's have given up on the figures and the
old guy with the big shoes, the clown. I don't
know why. I think probably because they thought it was
for children and it's become a more serious kind of
a thing than that McDonald it's no longer kid's food,
that's right imagined. But they've given up on the clown.
But yes, the thing about Grimace is they finally revealed
what Grimace is. Anyone has it? I guess or if

(03:12):
you often thought this is only breaking news, it's come
out three hours ago. He's made his debut in nineteen
seventy one. Is Evil Grimace, a scaly, four armed villain
who stole cups in McDonald land to prevent anyone from
enjoying milkshakes or Coca cola. And so there was the Hamburglar,

(03:38):
and there was the clown Ronald McDonald, and there was Grimace,
and there was a young girl that looked like a
chicken that was a girl, which is bad since they've
got now McNuggets and you don't need the chickens. And
there was Grimmace Shakes, and it was Happy Meals with
a Grimace on the front of it. But no one
knew what Grimace was. Anyway, it has been revealed today.
This will come as a surprise to you that Grimace

(04:02):
is a giant taste bud. So people thought it was
a grape or milkshaker, all sorts of things. But there
we go to giant taste bud. Not that you'd never know,
you said, a taste bug with a taste bud with
arms and legs, But there we go. That is Grimace.
That's happening there. The other thing that I do want
to talk about tonight as well as Grimace, And as
I say, we're topic light probably tonight.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well what else we're going to Oh, by the way,
the other thing that I wouldn't mind someone giving their
version of, I tell what the kids are mad about
now K Pop Demon Hunters. This is the show that's
taking over. You might be a pair of his children
obsessed with that. This is the new thing, k Pop
Demon Hunters. Don't know anything about it. It's animated and

(04:46):
it's huge. It's on Netflix. It's coreene and that's what
people are mad about. So expect some talk about that.
It's all K Pop Demon Hunters and those little creatures
called lou Mandjews or something that are those things that
you hang from your bags. So I'll be reading about
those today. So that's kind to be what my days
be like, obsessed with the small things. But anyway, that's

(05:10):
something else. So I just thought i'd put out there
deep K Pop Demon Hunters. You might have seen that.
You might know what some of the hype is about.
I've just heard about it. I haven't witnessed it. It's
been a movie on Netflix that's got people that everyone's
well everyone in the younger generation is talking about. So
you have to scratch with that one. Oh, by the way,

(05:31):
the other thing too, I want to talk about are
from the back of the news is the fifteen percent tariffs. Oh,
by the way, it's interesting, it's only been a week
since we had that tsunami alert and no one's going
on about that today. Are they two days of talk
back endlessly about the alerts, the tsunami alert, everyone's chilled

(05:52):
out about that. That's good, isn't it. I think we're
getting as a country, we're getting better at getting over things.
Two days bong, throw it onto other stuff now. So anyway,
that's it. I just want to acknowledge that weld on
everyone for getting over alerts, emergency alerts. But the thing
I was interested talking about is just probably was last week.
I thinking last Friday they announced that New Zealand was

(06:17):
applied to fifteen percent tariffs. We heard the person on
the news they're talking about the wine industry. I wonder
if you are involved in wine or any other business
with exports, and whether you had time to think about
what that fifteen percent tariff, how that's going to affect you,

(06:40):
Particularly that since Australia on has a ten percent tariff,
so they're beef going into America is obviously going to
be cheaper than ours because there's less tariff. But if
you are someone that's affected by tariffs, I wouldn't mind
knowing how that effect is going to be and a
week on what your thoughts are of that fifteen percent.
I would have thought by now the government would have

(07:00):
negotiated to get it down. Although what's actually happened for
countries like Korea and in fact countries that are South
Korea and Japan, they have got their tariffs down by
investing hugely in the United States, by spending billions of
dollars in there. So I don't think probably we're free

(07:21):
to do that. We haven't got the cash flowing around,
so I wonder how those fifteen percent tariffs fielty. Anyway,
fourteen past eight. My name is Marcus good Evening. As
I say, it's anything goes Tuesday. The number is, oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two detect. I'll do my dand just to keep me
updated with anything that happens in the world. In the
next four hours. There is breaking news that Donald Trump

(07:45):
and Rupert Murdoch agree to pause and the battle of
the Epstein article, which is a shame Rupert. This has
just come through. Rupert Murdoch and Donald trumpf agreed to
pause the medium mogul's deposition and a libel lawsuit brought
by the US present last month caught filings leased on Tuesdays,
so the two parties reached agreement to hold off on

(08:07):
Moodox's deposition till after the Wall Street Journal's motion to
dismiss the case has been heard. Trumble initially sought Moodox's
deposition to be expedited starting the twenty ninety four year
old's age and health, which some media outlets have labeled
a stunt. So you haven't read that. I'm still none
the wiser of it, although it does seem as that
the Epstein story has gone kind of quiet. You know,

(08:28):
I do get in touch with anything you want to
talk about tonight. I'm Marcus Edel twelve. There's other stuff
you want to mention. Feel free to come through eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two
to text Christopher Luxenis and Papua New Guinea for a meeting.
I don't know if anyone's been to p ANDNG lately.
I've always heard stories about p ANDNG that it was

(08:50):
sort of fairly it was fairly lively placed to visit.
I don't know that's still the case. You never hear
about people going on there on holiday. You don't know
who goes to P and G. I think a lot
of people used to go there and work there. But
it's always had a fearsome reputation as a place to visit,
hasn't it. I don't think that's changed anyway, So I'll

(09:12):
chuck that in the grab bag of topics tonight. Anyway,
do get in touch with you want to talk. My
name is Marcus. Welcome the number eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to text. And the
other thing, the most important topic. I would like to
thank the person that sent me all the New World
vouchers today or stickers. Someone's mailed me a number of them.

(09:38):
I can tell you how many.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
It was.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Thirty two for the brazier. But now a New World
has revealed. I think that was on Heather's show. What
was Ryan shows to the Heathers Show that New World
has run out of the Smeg brazes. Well, that's heartbreaking.
That's the only thing we wanted. Now, I don't know
if they've run out of those, it's particular stores or nationwide.

(10:03):
If everyone's got any more information about that, I wouldn't
mind hearing about that. But that's a disaster or for
our family, because I threw away the book of stickers
and I've pleaded on the radio last Friday to get
some more. Finally got them. But there's no braziers. Braziers, braziers.
I warned you for ages though, that this was a
situation that they were going to have the shortage of stuff.

(10:28):
It's just like the Knives two years ago. So have
you got an update on that. If anyone has seen
any braziers where we could send people to get them.
Unprepared to actually wiggle that around it, but we could
probably get some braziers for other people. Anyway. It's eighteen
past eight. All the lines are free. My name is Marcus.
You want to start the whole ball rolling tonight, get
amongst it. Feel free to come through, as I say,

(10:49):
oh eight hundred and eighty, toady, I've re cold around
the country later on tonight. I would imagine down to
below zero again tonight in New Zealand, in South and elsewhere,
so just be warned of that. It'll be risky on
the roads in the middle of the night. So yeah,
but no braziers. I know what a brazier is always
sort of brazy with something like a fire pit. But no,

(11:14):
that's not the case, and fair call to the Denmark
Zoo that decided to well, they decided to appeal to
people for animals to feed the dear animals, which I
think all that's probably doing. Has been quite open about
what goes on in zoos anyway. I think zoos would

(11:35):
probably quite often feed other species to species for food,
So I guess you've got no problem going elsewhere to
get the food. You might want to mention that as well, anyway.
Nineteen past eight, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine nine two text HITD twelve. It's not quite shortly
under with those Smeg stickers now, I'm just counting them
as I speak. They're all in different books, does that matter.

(11:57):
I wasn't quite sure about that. I've got to take
them off one book and put them on the other books.
It's a new thing for me. I always swear i'd
have no involvement with New World's promotions because they always
seems so sketchy to me. But since I was accused
of throwing out their stickers, which I might or mightn't
have done, I really can't remember that because I felt

(12:21):
duty bound to get involved, to try and beg for stickers.
I'm now invested, which is the last thing I want
to be. Anyway, nineteen past eight. My name is Marcus.
Welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two
text you want to start the conversation tonight on this
cold Tuesday, or they tell you what I know that

(12:41):
everyone goes on about the seasons changing, but for me,
the last two weeks have felt very much like spring.
I wonder if winter's going to become a thing of
the past. It's felt very, very spring like. I don't
know what to say about that. The days have been
clear and still and quite warm. It's a good thing.

(13:03):
I'm not complaining. Anyway, there we go, Marcus. I got
stickers on Saturday and was going to send them to you,
but they told me that the braziers had sold out nationwide.
So annoying. What do they just get more in? But
next time they have one of these things, you remember it.

(13:25):
You remember how the one thing people wanted they didn't
have many of the Lost Leader. I'll tell you what's
not going to run out countdown with those silly Disney discs.
No one wants those that look terrible. They look like
the most depressing tatch you've ever seen. At least the
brazier had a good weight to it. In fact, the

(13:46):
person that sent me the stickers didn't want the brazy
because they thought it was too heavy, which is probably
a fairly good decision to have made, because I got
the stickers anyway, enough for me, twenty one past eight,
looking for to your calls. Now, this is interesting. You've
been miserable with your response to my topics, which is fine.
You do you what I have learned tonight. So the

(14:08):
night for me has been beneficial turning up to work
because I can reveal, thanks to a very kind Texter,
that what the smeg thing that New World is failing
to sell because they've run out. It's not a brazier
and a brazier I've googled. That is a container made

(14:30):
of metal use for burning fuel like charcoal, providing heat
or for cooking. That's a brazier. Now this will come
as most of you will know this, But what New
World is selling, Well, they're not selling because they haven't
got me. What New World was getting people obsessed about
and then withdrawing it from them. That classic sales technique

(14:52):
was not a brazier. It was a brazier, which I
think in the three months that we've talked about this
on air, not one person's pronounced it correctly, including myself.
It's a brazier to braize food. So there we go.

(15:13):
I've learned something, Marcus. If you can't get one of
those New World pans which you have to pay sixty
bucks for as well as the stick as you can
buy similar bit better from Kitco and Auckland. It's got
enamel on the inside as well, so as you look
after the twenty six centimeter one is the same as
New World. I got a thirty centimeter one for about
one forty on special. It's great. They often have sales, Marcus.

(15:36):
If you want New World speak, you can buy them
on trade me full set, six fifty dollars, Marcus. Some
have been cleaned out of all the old pots and pans,
old roasted trades, et cetera. All gone on. The recycling
been gone. The most annoying thing about the countdown discs

(16:00):
is they're falling under the seat in my car and
are now stuck under the seat track, stuck for ever grew.
Oh gosh, I'll tell you what that area under the car,
under the car seats. Godness me, the things that go
down there and get stuck and just threw in the
car on the tracks. That's heartbreaking. In fact, why are
the tracks like that that? There must be some little

(16:21):
thinking in on tim to stop the stop the tracks
getting clogged up, like a track protector. I hate cars.
I hate all that stuff under the seat and these
weird things under there, like some sort of vents or something.
Because bottles were under there. The kids drink bottles. I've
kids got drink bottles. One of the ys have fountains,

(16:42):
drink fountains at school. That's the future. Drink bottles. Cheapest creepers.
The best cartoon I saw about the drink bottles with
some dad got sick of the kid. The kid lose
the drink bottles. It was just hand was packing the
school where you just handing him a zip lock bag
full of water, which I think is probably we have
all kind of sympathized with that. Anyway, So there we've got.

(17:04):
It's a bracer. I still don't know if I'm saying
it right. A brazier, not a breezier. Anyway, I'm having fun.
I hope you are as well with your coward calls.
A brazier is a versatile piece of corkwear, typically made
of enameled cash cast iron, that combines the feature of

(17:24):
a Dutch oven and a skillet. So what you do
with that, you'd do the same things you do with
a Dutch oven and a skillet. I'm sure you'd a
very flash one from La Crusette that cost you about
six hundred fifty dollars. I would have mentioned, but you
can't get the smeig ones because they've all run out. Anyway,
I hope you enjoying the show. Certainly, it's a one

(17:45):
way street tonight, looking forward to what you've got to say.
If you've got to partake in the show, it's type
there's some fantastically breaking story that's going to motivate you
into getting involved. To note tariffs, brazes, New World, The Grimace,
and anything else in that area beneath your car seat.

(18:08):
If I was designing cars, I'd be making cars that
had just a seamless area underneath there that nothing could
kind of get stuck under, because boy oh boy, the
way you often your cell phone goes down there and
then gets caught and it's a world of hurt. Anyhow,
as I say, news, what happens to couple of earthquakes today?
But there was a four point seven I thought in

(18:29):
Hawke's Bay. Always think it's good to get some small
quakes like under five to let the pressure off on
the discs or the plate. I think that's probably a
good thing. Someone wanted to talk last night about cluster headaches,
and I did say I'd revisit that as a topic.
I don't know what they are. I've heard of a

(18:50):
migraine headache, but I haven't I kind even imagine what
it would be a cluster headache if they'd come in groups.
And I don't know if the groups would be different
times or different parts of the head See you might
have some information about that. By the way, the quake
was a four point seven and that was at White Island,

(19:14):
so no surprise is that it's near the volcanic activity also,
But do come through if you want to partake in
the show. As I say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine nine to text with you till twelve,
Happy to be here and Tim Beveridge is along at
midnight tonight. You can text also, and you are doing
that well. But I like your calls. The text number
is nine two nine to and to call. Oh eight

(19:34):
hundred eighty ten eighty half past eight Nina headlines please.
I wonder how long ago the last brazier was sold.
That's the other question. We don't know. They want to have
had none for months, and how many brazeres they actually have.
They probably should be up. I mean they never will.
I mean I've warned you all about this because the
last one I had people begging for stuff. I think
that was for the knives or the pots and pans. Anyway,

(19:58):
get in touch if you want to talk about that
or any of the topics I've speak.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Lad on.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
You guys are good with driving, aren't you? You're good
talking driving? Jee But tonight well, oh, dear, poor people
complaining because they missed out on their brazen got mine.
Shouldn't procrastinate. Not New World's fault. I don't think people procrastinated.

(20:24):
I just don't think they brought as many groceries. People
living on their own probably have a small shop, and
they might get their meat and their fruit and vegies elsewhere,
and it probably takes a while to build up that
about it. They're going to spend quite a lot to
get the bracer. So even then I'm saying it wrong.

(20:44):
Cheapers got mine, shouldn't procrastinate. Not New World's fault. Well
it is really when they're saying they've got a deal
that's opened or the end of August and they've run
out of the end of July. To me, that sounds
like they didn't get enough braisers. But yeah, I'm not
one to partake, and well I am actually now because

(21:05):
I've got invested. So throughout the tabs. Anyway, get in
touch Marcus till midnight. If there's other stuff you want ooh,
get in touch by name is Marcus, welcome, oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to the
texts you want to come up. Headaches that occur and
patterns or clusters. Bouts of frequent attacks known as cluster periods,

(21:28):
may last from weeks to months, normally followed by long
periods of relief during remission, and texts may stop for
months or years. Pain and severe on one side of
the head, accompanied by symptoms such as nasal dischardge or
read or well doesn't sound like a fun topic, does it?
O can't mentioned it anyway, getting touch the numbers, oh

(21:49):
eight hundred eighty, ten eighty and nine two nine to
the text. Feel free to come through if you want
to talk. Twenty seven away from nine Lisa Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
Good evening, Marcus. I just want to touch on a
better what you're talking about last night with road rage
with my company and a lot of companies. Now you
all have GPS tracking in your work vehicles, and mine
being a support worker, and you have clients in the vehicle.

(22:23):
You cannot go over the speed limit. You have to
stick just under it or get called into the office,
or please explain that you've got people honking their horns
and yelling. I've had clients in tears over abuse of drivers,
and you're not going too much under the speed limit.

(22:44):
I tend to stick between forty five and fifty. And
it can be a big distraction because instead of watching
the road, you're constantly watching your speed limit to make
sure you don't go over the limit. Then you've got
these people that just yell and carry on get on
their horn.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Do you think it's a good policy of your companies
or do you think it cause of the driver's too
much stress.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
I think it causes us a lot of stress.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
It sounds like it. It really does a list. Have
you tested the tolerance of the system? Could you go
fifty five and not get coled in? Do you know
yet what the limits are?

Speaker 7 (23:28):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (23:28):
Yes, yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
Always stick to under it when i's to the company.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
But have you gone Have you gone to test how
fast you've got to go before you get holden?

Speaker 9 (23:41):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
And how far? How far over fifty do you have
to go to get holden?

Speaker 6 (23:49):
Usually anything over five k So once it hits that mark,
your warning light comes on. Let's say, hey, you know
you you're.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Doing Yeah, okay, you probably could go fifty five yep, okay,
wow or.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Under you will still get in. You know, each month
we get a report out on what your driving score
was and how many times you spared or it is
you called detailed report.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
It sounds three strel I thought if you're a company,
you just you would just you would just acknowledge that
the driving on the road was enforced by you know,
New Zaland government and their police, not by the company.
I find it surprising, but yeah, I guess they've the
rules and you've got to obey them.

Speaker 10 (24:42):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Nice to hear from you, Lisa, Thank you. Twenty four
away from nine Hit til Midnight. Name is Marcus. Good Evening?
Twenty one away from nine Good Evening? Welcome people. I
have worked out googled what you'd cook an embraser? Am
I saying that right? I feel I'm saying it right?
A braser? Very good if you're cooking a check shuka,
which is a Moroccan disc that seemed to be the
main thing to cook an embraser that we can't get

(25:03):
from your world because you're sold out. You'd cook a
jack shuka, or you'd cook a pulled pork. It's good
for slow cooking dishes. Some of your swear by shic
swear by brass. But I'm sure most of you probably
are too busy swearing by slow cookers or by air fries.
But it's a new thing. You need a bracer. Still

(25:25):
feeling putting the wrong emphasis on the s brazier That
sounds a bitter, doesn't it? Already? All the lines are
free tonight, people looking forward to what you've got to
sing and write about? Talk about? Oh, eight hundred eighty eight,
Gordon Bennett, you don't hear much about byo restaurants these days,
most towns wouldn't have one. I don't know if many
places would have a byo, but I think it's probably

(25:47):
big for Scarfees and Scarfee towns where the rowing club
can go there and take a couple of slabs of
beer or a couple of casks of wine or a keg.
Next thing you know, there's a crayfish been thrown, palling
lock for the old appalling look for the rowing club.
Sounds like the nineteen eighties with students behaving like that.

(26:11):
So anyway, what rowing's always been a bit like, isn't
it got that kind of reputation? Great texts? I'll get
to those. Marcus. Watching the video of the crayfish guy,
it looks like a drunken amateur attempt at shoplifting. I
think it's a storm and a tea cup. That makes
interesting media story. We didn't know there was a video, Marcus,

(26:35):
what are you going to do with your stickers?

Speaker 10 (26:37):
Now?

Speaker 2 (26:37):
There is no what's second best? What's next best? After
a bracer brasier? Because now I beg for the stickers.
I think we've got to get something. Twenty to nine
good evening, Robert. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
Hi.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
I'm sorry, I'm going to talk about braziers. But yes,
I've been saying the words, so.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I take I take a different ways. I take all
the I take all the blame for that. It's every
word I've heard, and I'm still struggling with it because
I was fixated on brazier for so long, and I
was determinists that right because otherwise sound like I'm saying brasier.
So yeah, so look, it's all my fault, but brazier yep.

Speaker 11 (27:18):
Well, I just sort of had a bit of a
look around because I braize food quite a lot because
it's a lovely way to cook. It's basically a slow
cooking mechanism that involves liquid in a field pot.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Okay, so you yourself are a brazier. You are some
of the braziers, yes, okay, nice to hear from.

Speaker 12 (27:36):
You, yep.

Speaker 11 (27:37):
Yeah. And then the brazier is the actual unit that
contains hot water, hot coals, yes, that you have outside
to keep yourself warm over a cold night. And apparently
the word brazierer comes from the French word men in
live coals. Oh so, so then when they started cooking

(27:57):
and pots over fires with live coals. That that became
brazing food because it was cooked in a brazier, which.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Was like cold, of course, so they are in some
ways connected.

Speaker 11 (28:08):
Yes, but yeah, So basically it's a it's a it's
a usually your cast iron five pen. It has to
have a lead because I have to. And you brown
the meat and then you put liquid in there like
stock or wine or water, and then you slow cook it.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
With the lid on.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, okay, I like this.

Speaker 11 (28:24):
Sort of Moroccan tanjin.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
If you're going to see.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Much yes, yes, yeah, it says the sense of brazier
is also seeing the French with brazier. Oh you're a
friend of Pender. No, that's right. And of course it
was Graham Brazier, our much esteemed singer, wasn't there.

Speaker 11 (28:40):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's relevant some ways. Thank you. Eighteen
to nine great texts. I'll get to those. So someone's
already text that through the lead singer of Hollow sailor
Graham Brazy.

Speaker 13 (28:52):
Is that's right?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Marcus company. Vehicle insurance is cheaper if your fleet is
managed and monitored Marcus, is it an Auckland thing. I've
noticed a lot of drivers so intent on reversing into
car parks we're parking anyone listening play that? Are we
being told what to do now? I think that's all
because of reversing cameras. And we love our reversing cameras

(29:14):
if we've got them, as much as we love our braisers.
Still feels weird saying that brazer. I'll get there by
the end of the night. Are you what's the next
best thing after the brazier? Because everyone I'll be thinking,
oh well, I can't get that. What I'm going to
get now? A new world Smeg Smeg products? What's the

(29:38):
next most expense? I guess the questions to ask as
stunning as it is functional, how dare they? Or the other?
All the other stuff looks like garbage to be fair,
Who wants a utensil pot a stylish way to keep
your kitchen your tensils tidy? We get something from Temu

(30:00):
for that mini coquette. No one wants that or cocott
I mean, that's just garbage. The intent to rest. No,
it's a brazier or nothing for me? The brazier or
nothing seventeen away from nine head or twelve looking forteen
and what they should do a brazier next time fourteen
to nine debates Marcus Good, evening.

Speaker 14 (30:21):
Hi, I've got sidetracked with the guy backing in. There's
a few companies that I've visited that require visitors to
back into a car park and it's based on the
idea that if you back in the everything you can

(30:41):
hit is the brick wall behind you. But when you
come out of the car park, you've got better vision.
When you're moving into a not a danger zone, but
you know, a less regulated area, you've got better vision
rather than backing out and into somebody because.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Because because there is an ill defined space in a
car park where kids can wander, because it's not you
don't know, Yeah, it's probably incible.

Speaker 14 (31:08):
Yeah, well I'm certainly. Many mining companies, the Guiding Club
and a couple of railway depots that I've been to
require you to pack stirn in ye. But anyway, what
I rang about is monitored vehicles speed monitored vehicles. Yes,

(31:30):
and I've driven for a couple of companies now that
absolutely require you. You've given a little dongle, a little
tag that you put onto the deskboard that it reads
who is driving the vehicle and it then monitors your
speed whilst you drive via vehicle.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Said via satellite.

Speaker 14 (31:56):
I think it's more likely to be these days via
cell phone, and so the vehicle itself is already known
to them. They can monitor most vehicles in real time
where you are doing. Whatever you're doing by tagging into it,
they now know who is driving it. So when I

(32:23):
was driving in Hastings for a bus company, they had
a system though that if you went for a month
without exceeding speed limits, excessive breaking, sharp cornering. I think
there's one other one you went into a First of all,

(32:44):
if you've got into the top tier, your hourly rate
went up and one of the people in that area
got one hundred dollars bonus prize card for the month.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
So they actively.

Speaker 14 (33:02):
Encouraged you to drive.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Well.

Speaker 14 (33:06):
The only downside of this is I'm doing the speed limit,
the people behind me want me to go faster. Yeah,
And I saw lots and lots of that. And as
a as a culture, New Zealanders don't like speed limits.
And we've spoken about this before. If you don't want

(33:27):
to get a ticket, don't speed. It's not rocket science.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Did you get the hundred dollars voucher many times?

Speaker 15 (33:36):
dB?

Speaker 5 (33:37):
I never.

Speaker 14 (33:38):
I never got the hundred dollars voucher. I managed to
get into the top tier three for three different months,
and it really was though a very tight band. You know,
you only have to have your Like you'd into a
you go from say a hundred k area to an
eighty k area, and you're given two hundred meters grace

(34:00):
and your machine would start beeping it to you. It
knew where all the boundaries were. If you then exceeded that,
it would turn yellow. So now you're getting the merit
points within the company. If you continue to do it,
it would turn red, and by the end of your shift,

(34:21):
the boss would come and have a quiet word.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Well, but it sounds like you embraced the whole technology, right.
You thought it was good for you driving buses in
that scenario, Well, that.

Speaker 14 (34:34):
Pause was way too long. I understood it. I also
understood that it could be distracting for me interacting with
other road users. I don't get me wrong, but sometimes
you get a long straight that's double with road and

(34:57):
it's a fifty k area. Everybody else is doing sixty
sixty five because there's nobody there, no houses, no nothing,
and I'm doing fifty ks.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, I'm hearing you d be nice tool. Thanks so
much to that. Nine Away from nine looking forward to
input Hittil Midnight Tonight, Texters says, I have a theory
that those employees that reverse into their car parks are
clock watchers work to rule race out the second it
turns five o'clock kind of people, theory being proven true
ninety percent of the time, they're just desperate to leave work.

(35:35):
I haven't really seen many people reversing into car parks
in my realm. Good evening, evid it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
Yes, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Evening, Evan near the car park.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
But there's health and safety, so you don't back over
your work mate when you're tired at the end of
the day.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Oh yeah, I'm fully aware of why it is. But yeah,
but I don't think. I don't think most of us
are that are that relaxed at kind of reversing into
car parks like that first thing in the morning.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Oh, they really want you to, I know they want.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I know they want to do, but it's not Yeah,
it requires a different kind of mindset to reverse and doesn't.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
It anyway, I'd like to put a plug in for
packing save because you're plugging all these other super markets half.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
If I'm not plugging them, I'm saying that they're that.
Once again, the promotion is a.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Croc about them.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
They got all these people fizzing for the brass, right,
and there's hardly any there. Yeah, they should have had
much better stocks. I mean, because I'm sure they just
get them from some warehouse in China. They should have
had a standing order for as many as they need.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
Oh for sure.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Why are you going on about Peck and say what
have they done?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
That's right?

Speaker 7 (36:47):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (36:47):
That half price everywhere else? Mate?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
What is the food really is half price?

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, I've proved that last week, but last
year half it's half the price of the other supermarkets.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, that's because it's their thirty years special or something.
I think.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
I don't know. They've even got smoke row there. That's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
What to the fish?

Speaker 5 (37:13):
I think it was half of the row?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Really?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
How big? How much road would be in a harp poker?
Quite a lot, I mentioned, Oh.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, they really big. Get half of the extraordinary.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
When you see people reading in harpooker. How big they are?

Speaker 5 (37:26):
Yeah, those big ones.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Like how do you eat?

Speaker 5 (37:31):
How do you eat than the size of a sock
sort of thing? You know?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
How do you eat smoke?

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Rose? Beautiful?

Speaker 2 (37:37):
How do you eat it?

Speaker 3 (37:38):
On?

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Crackers? Saw fresh white bread? Beautiful?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Which cracker?

Speaker 5 (37:43):
All those little round ones like a like a called shapes, Yeah,
I think they are.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
The round cracker sted. I see them now in a
double I can see them in a double barrel peck
with the orange red rapper what were they called?

Speaker 5 (38:05):
Used to get the ones? I'm on a red peck, you.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Know, That's what I'm saying. And a double bear l
like two tubes. We have two tubes of them, didn't.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
No, just a round one little like a star.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Okay, I'll try and visualize that. Evan, thank you coming
if you want to do talk Hitdle twelve names, Marcus
good evening the Brazeres. I've learned something. The Brazeres versus
the Braziers took a long time for me with that
New World companies tracking the vehicles. This is just the

(38:36):
start of course all this and more. There's something entirely
different you want to talk about there, and you are
more than welcome tonight here till twelve. It's a job
to beverage along from midnight, so you feel free to
come through if you want to or don't call during
the news. Obviously, get your conversation ordered and give yourself
give us a bit of a oh by the way, yeah,

(38:58):
fuck it's it was center that quick four point seven
for every deep one hundred and twenty seven k's. That
might mean something might explode soon, live and up everything,
won't it. Anyway, You've got to be a part of
the show. That's what we're on about tonight, a bit
of everything, including the brazier. What's the Nicks best thing
to buy with your coupons? And just haven't got no

(39:22):
idea what that is, but you might have something to
say with you till twelve o'clock tonight, So do come through.
Does any breaking news I hope there is tonight. This
will be the first place you will hear it. That's
my pledge to you, so you'll be up to speed
with it if that happens. Anyway, give us a call

(39:43):
after the news or during the weather. The number is
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Now thanks to those
thirty people that text me through what even was referring
to was a snack's cracker. That's what he has is
his half pook a row on good on them, or
in fact has smoked half pook a row. Yeah, I
find it's quite hard to keep up with crackers. They've

(40:04):
changed so much, don't they Anyway, Well, people, my name
is Marcus Settle twelve seven past nine. We started talking
about Grimace from McDonald. Then we went talking about tariffs.
Then we start too about New World and the Brazier,
which seems to be everything. All the other stuff just
seems to have no point. So for me, it's brazier
or nothing. But that didn't important enough of those, so

(40:25):
I'm angry about that they've all gone. I suspect that
d a call from Cambridge that was going everywhere to
find one. He was committed. It looks like he's not
going to get one from anywhere, so there we go.
I don't know how much they are for sale on
trade me. I look as we speak, we're also talking
about when your company monitors your vehicle. Is it a pain?

(40:48):
Seems like it's I mean, if you're I think if
you're in the car, you should be on your own
you know, do what you want within reason. I mean
it's up to the law of the land to police that,
not your company. Online the prices for the smig brazier
are two ten one hundred and two or one hundred
and eighty dollars or one point fifty and someone selling

(41:11):
stickers twenty stickers for twenty dollars. Yeah, so the cheapest
you can get is one oh two reserve met still
in the box. Cost of it for shipping to wouldn't
it hi there? How much to christ Church? Also? Would

(41:36):
you drop off the Cita center for a small cost?
Post to christ Church non rural would be twenty four dollars?
Hi there audio? Why how much rural Cromwell? Please thirty dollars.
People are desperate for it. Rural Cromwell. What what rural

(41:56):
Cromwellers see? There'd be Bannock Boone or something or pias
of Mooring. How you go people, if there's something different
you want to get in with, I'll be up up
for anything tonight. I came with all sorts of I
came with great plans and my plans have been thrown out.
But yeah, we'll just go and we'll go where you
need to go people tonight. Oh wait one hundred and

(42:20):
eighty ten eighty do you fulfil that you're looking at
on Facebook? Everyone's on a holiday. If you notice that
everyone's on holiday, one seems to be in Japan or Croatia. Yeah,
I reckon when people go on holiday, shouldn't post shots.
It just makes those that aren't on holiday feel like
they should be on holiday. You ever thought that it's

(42:41):
just bragging, isn't it. They never say they're going holy
just go oh one day they're at work. The next
day there they are and sort of Sevodia looking like
the cat that's got the cream. David's Marcus, good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 13 (43:01):
Yeah, hi Marcus, can you hear me?

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Yeah, I think you've had a really clear line and
you had a good voice. It's tick tick to you there,
Dave though, sounding great.

Speaker 13 (43:10):
Nice one, nice one. Just on the touching on the
work vehicles, the monitored work vehicles, Yeah yep. So so
I work for a company and we have them, and
it's been for you for a long time now it's
just the norm. Now we have be required to. So
we've got a large base in Auckland. We've got about

(43:32):
through them with a huge fleet of uts vands and heavy,
heavy vehicles as well, and where we are required to
always back into our parks, and I've found it's quite
sort of had it for me if I go out,
I tend to do it pretty much everywhere I go. Obviously,

(43:53):
if the traffic's too bad and I'm in a small
car park and it's not convenient, then I won't. But
for me, it's about it means I've got the crappy
part of the park over and done with them. When
I leave, I just drive out head first.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
No, I like, yeah, it shows maturity and a good mind.
I think that you could do that.

Speaker 13 (44:12):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not always convenient. For instance,
I've got a work van and occasionally I'll use that
to go down and get the groceries. And if I
do that, then I won't back in because if by
the time I've backed up to the other vehicle that
might be behind me, if they're sort of two vehicles,
well can't. I can no longer open the back of
my van. So you know, there's time the place. But

(44:33):
I heard that guy talking about you know, we've got
a similar thing going where we work where so it's
called eros and it's like the old navman. I've got
it on my dash stuck stuck to the window right
in front of me. I can see it. And what
will happen is if I go over at the speed
limits eighty as soon as I go eighty one, it

(44:57):
goes from green, telling me I'm doing eighty to orange
eighty one. And if I go ten over the speed limit,
then it immediately goes into the rear. And if, for instance,
I go through a place where I'm doing one hundred
and then you come through a set of lights and
the lights are green. Well, some places an Awkland where

(45:17):
you'll come around a corner, you'll come to that intersection
and it'll be a slow down to fifty intersection, even
though if you've got a green light, no one's slimed
out at fifty. So I'll get pinged. Every time I
go through that intersection, it'll go into the red. They
even though they monitor it, they're not crazy. They'll see, okay,
well this is this is where this is happening. So

(45:39):
you only get pulled up. And I have a couple
of times, and it's only if you're hitting the red
and you're stuck because it like one flag will ping
up for every thirty seconds you stay in the red.
So as long as you're not sitting in it, you know,
the entire trip, they pretty much leave you alone. But yeah,
chances of winning the Employee of the month for my

(46:01):
job are pretty much nil.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
So that's the punishment. It's a reward thing rather the
punishment thing.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Is it.

Speaker 13 (46:08):
Well, you'll find in our company the people that win
win the best driver of the month and the people
that aren't. First response Pete, Like, I'm sitting in the
clothes right now, I'm going to shortly go in to
do some work tonight in Central Auckland, and so they'll
close off a big part of the c m D
and we'll we'll we'll, we'll own it, you know, so

(46:28):
they'll I think tonight it's closed heading north from from
say Saint Luke's through to their tunnel. Well, there there
are other times and I might get told jeep as
you've got to race out because something's happened out in
sun So and so you don't have the convenience of
just being able to casually drive around, whereas a lot

(46:49):
of the office staff, admin staff that they don't have
that same quick get somewhere sort of thing. So so,
and also with these that they're they're prone to making mistakes.
I can go around a corner quite safely and then ping,
It'll pick me up no reason at all and say
you've just taken that corner too dangerously.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
You know?

Speaker 9 (47:10):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (47:11):
If you do, you know, if your company gets a
better insurance deal because they've got monitors on all their.

Speaker 13 (47:17):
Cars, I would imagine.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
So I would.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Imagine because if I don't know, you don't know though.

Speaker 13 (47:25):
No, no, no, I don't know, But I mean it
certainly restrains you from breaking the speed limit. You know,
it really works. Another thing that happens where I live.
They've recently put a speed limit and down what used
to be a fifty K suburban street and they've dropped
it to thirty because there's a school down there. I'll

(47:49):
come home tonight at four in the morning, I'll turn
into my road and I unless I have you know,
it'll ping me if I'm doing fifty down a road
where there's no school kids at four in the morning,
but that thirty K zone is there. Twenty four to
seven can be a bit of a pest at times
like that I see from you.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Thanks for much for that. Oh nine nine to the TIX,
looking forward to what you've got to say. Hittle twelve
o'clock tonight, Pete, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 15 (48:21):
Are you giving me a Marcus good?

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Thanks? Pete, thanks for asking.

Speaker 15 (48:25):
He's like the previous I say, you know, I just
drive trucks in that as well, but they're finding it
hard to get truck drivers there. And that gentleman you
spoke to, then the companies are definitely getting discount from
the premiums. What makes sense if you're having listening incidents
of your trucks. It's just different from you having having
a car, really, so that's all different. Insurance, Yeah, getting

(48:47):
the premiums down and all that. But right now they
have Cameron inside.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
The cab and just just just just stop there, Pete.
You used to speak that you don't know for effect
they're getting cheaper premiums. That's just speculation by you, wasn't
it that.

Speaker 15 (49:03):
Guarantee do were there? It's a rock side stuff.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Hang on, hang on, Pee, because I've gotta be careful
with this. You don't know for sure, you're just speculating that, right.

Speaker 15 (49:17):
I sort of stick your eye. What's guaranteed there?

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, but it's it's you. You've supposed that you know,
one management told you that this is what we do,
or the discount we get. No, Yeah, yeah, I'm right there,
but we've got to deal in fact. Okay, yep, yep, anyway,
go on what you were saying.

Speaker 15 (49:35):
Going on. I'm not driving anymore now, but I do
believe I won't mention any companies. They're finding it hard
to get drivers now. Cameras riding your face, you know,
if your eyes are starting this shut and all that
sort of thing. And then I drove, you know, we
didn't have that technology, and I never had any crashes
and all the time I drove.

Speaker 5 (49:53):
How many?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
How many? How many? Did your cause doesn't cause any Okay,
that's good, well done you.

Speaker 15 (50:00):
So if you have your sleep and do things right,
eat well. But when they're getting free and true, they
got cameras right up there, you basically blink. Well, some
way's on foard, there's that, he's a seat shaking all
that in the cab. But you can't even eat. You
can't even have your most struck drives. They're doing long hours,
they're on a time frame with their log books, and

(50:22):
that you can't even have something in one hand like
a pie or eat and you only have so many
pies you can put down your throat in a day.
And they're basically making it so hard.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Are you telling me you're not eating the cabs anymore?

Speaker 15 (50:39):
Yeah, you can't. Basically you're you're going.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
To is it a fit? I see what you're saying.
That makes so when you're driving you can't.

Speaker 15 (50:47):
Yeah, nowadays you know the driver is doing not a
time frame and they're just getting a lot of people
getting sick of it. They're giving up driving. So the
companies have to be a bit more realistical. You want
to get drivers, just take your foot off the pedal
and be a bit more easy on your drivers. And
maybe it's making a bit more relaxed environment. When I drove,
we didn't have that stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
What you probably want, What you probably want. Peter's one
of those camel pecks like the Trea athletes have and
have like a smoothie or something in these, So you
just have the tube go into your mouth and suck
that as you go.

Speaker 15 (51:20):
Or something. But it's pretty bad. You think of you,
You and I we drive cars, which was the truck
or car, whatever there is, we all do it. Take
the pressure off the drivers and let them have the
odd and they got every five minutes, they've got something
in their hand to and most most drivers, I'll pull
over to a dearies, I'll get a pie or whatever.
You know, what do you want to do? They're on't

(51:40):
a time frame anyway. Do you want then to pull
over thee and then I'll be on their back? Hey,
you're over you over your log book house? Well you
can't even taking that? Can The companies putting too much
pressure on the drives. That's so they can't he drives as.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Simple as that.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Why do you give it up?

Speaker 15 (51:56):
I just gave it up. I should have stuck it
in some ways that change. I did ended a painting
and decorating course at the time, and you try things
as you're young and having sort of gone back to it.
And then finally when they went to hold, I drove
the red truck for a while. But yeah, but right
now things have changed a lots. I can't compare with
the how I was driving. It's definitely a different world.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Now, let's hear from your peete. Thanks for that. People
aren't keen on backing into the car parks at supermarkets.
What grinds my organ is when people park and redoubl
ended car park and stop when they reached the first park,
whereas they just drove forward into the opposing park. They
would just drive straight out and sit having to go back.
I do that. This one says if you can back,
and you can back out. It's pure big car entitlement marks.

(52:40):
I understand why people back in the car parks the supermarkets.
Doesn't make sense. If you're loading groceries into your car,
you're more than likely you're going to need the boot
you people still insist. Just bonkers, Wow, bonkers. We're talking
about the bosses looking at your driving governed governors. We're

(53:01):
not governors, but monitors to monitor for how you're driving
and when you're going and what you're doing. Brilliant. Just
keep going with that. And the Brazer are they any good?
I suppose a Brais is pretty much a braz at
nineteen past nine, Marcus, what's that guy going about the
cause we're allowed to oh yeah, a truck? Are you

(53:22):
allowed to eat while you drive? Are you monitored for that?
Because I mean a lot of people bring up to
talk back and swear black and blue about things with
no basis of evidence. Are you allowed to eat a
pie and a truck? That's the question I'm asking you.
Or is it dangerous to drive with one hand? Because yeah,

(53:42):
I mean, things become factor Except I've got no idea
if you can drive with one hand. I don't know
the way it works. If you could clarify that for me,
are you allowed to drive and you're truck? Allowed to
eat in your truck while you're driving? Obviously don't have
stuff with chopsticks or things that are complicated, But yeah,

(54:03):
you got some opinion about that. And also the braiser
from New World, so I just got more run. I
think the whole spirit of it's mean spirited just causes
people disappointment. So there's two topics going. And for those

(54:24):
that have always wondered what grimaces the creature from McDonald's
to Taste Bud, isn't that crazy? A giant anthropomorphic taste Bud.
People thought he was a milkshake or a blob, was
some sort of alien. By the way, I see that
in Australia, they're getting into the the McDonald's are getting

(54:46):
into it like a kebab rap. Sorry, I'm in KFC.
I mean, I mean KFC. That's right. I thought McDonald's
there for a seck. Hello, Susie Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (55:00):
Oh cure, Mark. I just wanted to talk about supermarket
car parking because I'm going long, you know, like in
a car park and put my indicator onto, you know,
just go frontways into a car park, and the next

(55:22):
minute I'm tuning, and then the next minute there's some
Toyota high Lucks. They seem to be these big cars
like for you know, those big issuvs. Next minute you're
going to pull in and then you've got and they
don't seem to sort of really indicate. Next minute you've

(55:45):
got this giant Toyota high Lucks backing into you, and yeah,
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Are you saying you're competing for the same park.

Speaker 9 (55:58):
Well, it's not a competition really.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Sorry I'm not saying. But what I'm saying is you're
going in and the other car is going into the
park that you want to go into. They're going for
your the same pack you've got your eyes on. Is
that what you're explaining to to me?

Speaker 16 (56:15):
Yeah, they're removing back. Yeah, and they nearly like like
you've got to tune in and then you've got this
backing into you.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
And some people are performative reverses. They do it with
a smug arrogance, don't they to show that they can
handle their car. And it's always done with a flourish,
which which I find is kind of arrogant distasteful. No
one likes a flourish.

Speaker 9 (56:39):
Yeah, and it's like, whoa, you just about backed into
my car? Man, what are you doing?

Speaker 7 (56:47):
Like?

Speaker 9 (56:48):
Yeah, I I just find it. Yeah, it's not good.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Okay, you don't drive trucks, so you can't. You can't
tell me about can you eat in a truck?

Speaker 17 (57:02):
Big?

Speaker 9 (57:02):
Your patterns?

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Are you allowed to eat in a truck?

Speaker 18 (57:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Here, if you've driven trucks lately?

Speaker 9 (57:14):
Oh, I haven't driven the truck for a while, but
I can't drive a truck. But yeah, I have eaten
the pie and driven the truck.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
How was that for you?

Speaker 9 (57:27):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (57:30):
If you if you need a pie and driver truck,
you need a car. I mean, if you need a
pie and driver truck, you can need a pie and
driver car surely.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
I just want to combat misinformation because pizza stuff full
effects about everything. I just wonder, not saying that critically,
but yeah, could you eat a pie and a truck? Sharky,
it's Marcus, Marc.

Speaker 19 (58:02):
You can't still eat your truck. Oh yeah. Wife makes
my lunch every day before I go to work so
that I can eat in the luxury of the big
scan a truck.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
And as you're moving.

Speaker 19 (58:18):
Yeah yeah, on occasionally stand which is something more a coffee.
But the problem is more about using your phone or
distractions like that. So this truck has, as the previous
guys are saying, here's a camera on every corner watching

(58:38):
my movements right now, and by driver Buddy is telling
me I'm doing fifty four kilometers an hour down the
Great South Road and checking our drury because the motorways
closed and they were right at beats and tells you
when it goes into a green zone, orange zone, ret zone,

(59:00):
and that goes back to the company. So the company
are continuously watching what you're doing by camera wise and
being able to catch everything that happens. The cameras are AI.
They are artificially intelligent. So if I hold my hand
up to the side of my ear as if I'm

(59:23):
holding a phone, it will automatically start recording that I'm
doing that, and then that goes through obviously notifies the
office or whoever's monitory the A did you hear the beats?
That was me over speeding?

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Oh ja, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
You should be more concerned when you're on the radio.
We don't want to hear a crash. I'm going to run, sharky,
But thanks for calling, So there we go. It seems
as though it's a myth that you're not to eat
in your truck, but to talk about grimace and driving.
But yeah, no one says you can't eat something when
you're in the car that I can see, Marcus. What's

(01:00:07):
that guy going about? A course, of course, we're allowed
to eat while driving trucks. There's no law to say
we can't. When I was young, often heard don't cut
the tag off your mattress, as it's illegal. Why was
this ever a thing? I'm fascinated now whoever said don't
cut your tag off your mattress. Wow, I'm liking that.

(01:00:31):
Why would it be illegal? Yeah? I those do not
remove signs on mattresses. Could someone tell me about that? Fred?

Speaker 12 (01:00:55):
Welcome, Yes, good evening, How we eat?

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
Marcus?

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Good? Thank you? Fred? Thanks for asking. Not bad at all.

Speaker 12 (01:01:02):
Aham right. I'm currently employed as a driver for a
company that will remain nameless in regards to what you
can and can't do with this company, and it's all
company relevant. Our cameras are ai nable. I can't use
the phone while I'm driving. It will be at hands free.

(01:01:23):
Not allowed to eat, really, allowed to drink coffee.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Really they suppy you with a like.

Speaker 12 (01:01:30):
A sipper flask that you can do because they don't
want you're talking your head back. That can be a distraction. Yeah, basically,
you sit, look forward. That's all you do.

Speaker 20 (01:01:44):
You drive.

Speaker 12 (01:01:45):
I've got the e road like has been discussed. But
one thing that probably people don't know about is the
camera system that we have here and a lot of
the other companies use the same system, are actually monitored
in America. So the camera will go off, it will
record ten seconds prior to the event and up to
ten seconds after the event. That's satellite fed straight to America,

(01:02:10):
where an operator was sitting at a desk will look
at it and go yeah, that's an infraction, or no
that's not. If it is an infraction, it's sent straight
back to your depot in New Zealand, and you have
questions to answer.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
And the whole thing about the food is not because
of keeping the cab clean. It's about safety on the road.

Speaker 12 (01:02:30):
Right, Absolutely, it's for to prevent the driver distraction, which
is the same as the phone. I mean, I'm stationary now,
which is why I can make this phone call. But
if I was on the highway, that would be a
no no, the camera would nail me for it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Do they give you plenty of breaks if you do
need to tweet you it'llowed to take those. Do they
give you those allowances?

Speaker 12 (01:02:53):
Yeah, our company doesn't have a problem with that. I'm
a smoker, so I can pull over, stop somewhere, go
and have a cigarette, come.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Back, hop in go.

Speaker 12 (01:03:04):
It's not a problem. You don't abuse it obviously. Yeah,
but yeah, they've got no issue with it. And we
are also on a performance bonus system where every six
months we'll get a bonus offered to us. We've been
good boys, you get the full bonus. As you have
an infraction, let's get taken off.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Is it a petrol tanker?

Speaker 12 (01:03:31):
It is a dangerous goods vehicle?

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Yes, okay, appreciate that, Fred, thanks so much for that.
Twenty six away from ten. Wow, dangerous goods. Wise man
say man who eat lunch and car end up eating

(01:03:54):
dinner in hospital, Thank you Steve. Driving a truck, eat
a sandwich, have a coffee All good BJ Eating and
work vehicles depends on the vehicle promisey for the company.
I drive a company card small print the policy mentions
no eating whilst driving. We interpret this as it's okay
while stationary makes sense. By the way, pie crumbs are

(01:04:16):
horrible to get out of the car from under the
side to the seats. Were the biggest your visil you
it's hard to see around you and smaller it's hard
to get around. We back and as it's easy to

(01:04:36):
drive out. ID like to know about the tags on
the mattresses. I think you probably can't remove the tag
because people want to know what the mattress was made
out of. They might be allergic to k pock or

(01:04:57):
something not K pop. Will there be a joke there
between the similar sound of K pop and k pock?
Ummm yeah, here on midnight one of us Marcus enjoying it. Actually,
we've got a little groove going on everywhere about driving.
People talk about eating could be terrifying. To drive dangerous goods,

(01:05:22):
wouldn't it? Twenty four away from nineteen twenty four? From ten?
My name is Marcus. Welcome here on midnight, looking forward
to what you've got to say, Hi, Marcus. Metris tag
removal being illegal not a thing. Over one of the
nineteen sixty nine seventies had product performance guarantees, so if
it failed inside the guarantee period have reached. So long

(01:05:43):
as the tag was attached, I decided to google it
your right. Metris tags are to inform on materials used
and safety. It's only illegal for retailers to tamper with them.
So if you're selling matresses, you can't remove the lab.
I don't know if a matress has a label anymore?
Do they do? They do they? I don't know. It's

(01:06:07):
a long time. How long did you drive a truck
for a b eight hours without a snack? Would it mind?
You'd be an occupational has if you could eat, you're
not doing anything. You'd eat the whole time, wouldn't you?
That would be my That would be the stressful. Yeah,
that would be what my concern would be. Welcome everyone,
My name is Marcus. Good Evening hitdle twelve. If this
something else you want to ramble on about tonight, God

(01:06:29):
she will show. Feel free to jump in with whatever
you like. Boy, that cricket was exciting last night.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
I want it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
But the guy coming out with the desiccated arm or
shoulder with the armor and the sling for that was fantastic.
You might have. I only mention that because you might
have gone back and watched that tonight. Yeah, I think
the test matches a dead test. Crickets did by any
streets imagination was one of the great tests from what

(01:07:00):
I could read about it. Eating in cabs what we're
on about to and there are no more brazes from
New World. That's right, they didn't get enough. And everything
else doesn't really look like that doesn't really look like
it's any good. Something like You might be one to

(01:07:24):
mention too tonight or anything else as well. Feel free
to come through eight hundred eighty nine nine to text.

Speaker 17 (01:07:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
By the way, it's a story I've tried to read
a couple of times. But tomorrow the Earth's going to
speed quicker. The change driven by the Moon's gravitational pul
will cause the plant that spin slightly faster with its poles,
saving one point twenty five million seconds off the usual
twenty four hour day. And while the shift is too

(01:07:57):
small for humans to notice, the long term implications could
be catastrophic. So the Earth's speeding up if it goes
fast as centrifugal force would begin pushing ocean water away
from the poles and towards the equator. Well, there's no
such thing as centrifugal forces, just the episoence of said

(01:08:20):
tripleal force. But we know what they're saying. It could
make the water rise at the equator. And yeah, it's
a kind of a nonsense story, but it's kind of interesting.
Marcus been driving for twenty five years, never been told
I can't eat or drink while driving. Certainly of the

(01:08:42):
years things have changed with the phone. But Siri good
for that sort of thing. Now five and a half
hours before you need a break track of den is
it me?

Speaker 7 (01:08:51):
Or?

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
Are there less road cones on the roads now?

Speaker 5 (01:08:53):
Mike?

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I don't know. You can't see them from space, can you?
One would really know? I think they come in some
areas and go from other areas. That'd be my take.
Eighteen to ten if you want to be on before
the news, welcome, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

(01:09:25):
if you got breaking news, were you are any instance
on the road or anything they do get in touch
with us. Not seeing any news. They've found the body
of that person that was missing in Wellington Harbor that's
come through. And the zoo from the lion Man's Show

(01:09:48):
is for sale. It's got the animal enclosed. I don't
know what it would be good for the tiny enclosures really.
I don't know what happened to the lions there. I
don't believe the lions are still there. They tried to

(01:10:09):
open it up so long ago. So there we go.
That's a thing. No shots of the lines and the
realate real estate shots, so I guess it's safe to
imagine they're not there. That's probably a good thing. Seventeen

(01:10:30):
away from ten o'clock ten beverage along from twelve anyway. Oh,
do we know that it is Daly Cheery Evans joining
the Sydney Roosters. When was that announced? I'm just seeing
that on the situation. Daly Cherri Evans has been tipped

(01:10:58):
to where the rooster's number six jersey we arrived next season.
Didn't know it's signed. News to me anyway, do get
in touched. You've got to talk Maname's Marcus hddled twelve
sixteen away from ten. The road cones are probably packed
up and moved to Australia as well. If the road

(01:11:21):
cone was on the Great Wall, you might see it
from space. That's from Mike. Thank you, Mike. What actually
can you see from space? That was always kind of sketchy,
wasn't it. You can't see it from the moon, but
you can see it from space. Right, I don't know
what on Earth you can see from space? Can you

(01:11:49):
see the can you see the What man made things
can you see from that was often debated. Yeah, John Marcus, welcome,
let me just get the button right. Good day, John,
How are you good?

Speaker 21 (01:12:04):
Thanks?

Speaker 5 (01:12:06):
Good?

Speaker 21 (01:12:06):
Hey, a bit more left field. I'm loving the astronomy stuff,
but I want to talk about something that's a bit
more pressing for me. In the last twelve months, I've
discovered that two guys that I thought I knew relatively
well have wound up getting convicted on sex offense charges
against children. Now I'm a grandfather, I've got young kids myself.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Hang on, John, this has happened. Once you've known them, ors,
you've found subsequently, I've.

Speaker 21 (01:12:37):
Found subsequently, just through the courts, just through you know,
you'll lose touch with people to jump on Facebook, try
and find them, do a bit of a wider search,
and then all of a sudden you find out that
two guys that you thought you knew relatively well have
got the sales banged up in jail from doing hennous crimes.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:12:57):
So my concern is when they eventually get released. I
believe that there is a sex register out there that
the police have access to, but the public don't. And
my concern is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
I don't know what I thought. I thought there was
a lot of debate about this. I thought the sex
offender if you googled it, I think was available. Who
we want to look at?

Speaker 21 (01:13:16):
No, no, it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
Are you sure the fear I'm very very sure.

Speaker 21 (01:13:22):
I'm very sure. I'm positive that the police are the
only ones that have access to any photographic proof that
they're of who they are, the identities. I don't think
we should know where they live per se address type
stuff that would cause problems. But if somebody moved into
let's say north Shore East Coast Bays district, I think

(01:13:44):
the public in that area has got a right to
have access, at the very least to their names and photo.
Where these guys aren't hanging out around parks and schools
and bus stops waiting for kids.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
I always thought it was a public I always thought
it was a public available list. I think it was
the whole point of it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:02):
No, I don't think it is.

Speaker 21 (01:14:04):
I'll do my homework again tonight. I'm my way home
from work now, but I'll have another look at it.
But I'm pretty sure the actual name in foto of
these offenders is not a publicly available.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Thing unless it's been taken off. There were some reasons
it's no longer public find out. Get back to me, John,
Thank you, hold your horses, Jen, I'll come back to
you thirteen away from ten o'clock. Thanks. Ten from ten.
Hello Jan Marcus, Welcome, Hi been Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:14:28):
Have I got enough time to tell you a recipe?

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:14:34):
Before the news?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Yeah, we've got a commercial break to take before the news.
But have we mentioned recipes, jam.

Speaker 22 (01:14:41):
No, I've tried the news thing out, and I thought
it might be a quickie, easy meal for you to try.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
You like, not overly, but I'm sure there the other
people that taste buds have perked up.

Speaker 22 (01:15:01):
Okay, So rice, you get a cup of rice per person,
put it in casser old dish, and three cups of
water per cup of rice, and seasoning, and then you
add portmants to it, stir it all up, grated apple

(01:15:22):
into that as well, and bake it in the oven.
And of course the rice absorbs all the liquid delicious,
and the apple sort of melts when you get it out.
I tear up some of that. Is it called sushi seaweed?

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
Sheep called it sushi seaweed? Your goodness, look at you
with seweed? Wow, how far we've come in the world.

Speaker 22 (01:15:55):
And then a good squirt of sawyer sauce and stir
it all in, and boy is that delicious and quick? Easy?
And go long way as well? If you want to
see the whole family.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
What do you call it?

Speaker 22 (01:16:14):
Pork and rise name? Yeah, I thought it might be.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Is it just got pork mints in it?

Speaker 22 (01:16:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
And brilliant. Okay, Jenn, thank you for that. Appreciate it.
Nice to hear from him. By the way, seven away
from ten o'clock, het'll twelve. By the way, this is
interesting that the objects you can see from space there
aren't many. Of course, you can see lights from nighttime.

(01:16:46):
It does. They using binocas, astronauts could see roads, dams, harbors,
large vehicles such as ships and planes. But what you
can see from space the cooling ponds of Chernobyl, which
are ten kilometer long cooling ponds. You can see the
greenhouses of our Mere, they're the ones in Spain. There's

(01:17:07):
about twenty six thousand hectares of tunnel house and greenhouse.
They reflect a lot of light. You can seal of those.
And you can see the Bingham Canyon Mine, which the
Kennicott Copper Mine, which is the largest tuman made excavation
in the world. You'd also see the two man made
lakes at anchor Wat which are eight k's by two k's.

(01:17:34):
They are created in the eleventh century. You can't see
the Great Wall of China. It can be seen from
the lower part of the low Earth orbit, but only
under very favorable conditions. So there you go. That's what

(01:17:58):
you can see from space that is of interest to you.
And we're talking about are you allowed to eat while
you drive, which it seems as though you can. You're
driving something really dangerous and they don't want to do
anything sketch at all. Then, But you do seem to

(01:18:20):
be filming in the truck quite a lot in the cab,
but it's not COVID. People are aware they're being filmed. Yep.
So is that a good thing? I guess so. By
the way, there's no brazes left at New World anywhere,

(01:18:44):
so it seems though the most expensive isem is the
item that goes first, because that's pretty obvious, isn't it.
And they get the friends up with those, and then
people just have to settle for the dud pieces after that.
I don't know how I feel about that. Not that happy.

(01:19:06):
But we've missed out on our brazier. Oh of course
I could buy one. Doesn't feel like the same, That
doesn't They're not entering into the spirit of things. So
that's something you might want to mention in the next
hour or anything else. As I say, heit tell twelve tonight,
how's timmy working out for your people? People gone quite on?

(01:19:29):
TIMU wonder why? Maybe everyone's got everything they need a
lot of stuff they don't need. That might be the
situation there. Do get in touch if you want to
talk here til twelve o'clock tonight. As I've said several
times to night tim beverage will belong from midnight and

(01:19:50):
I'm looking forward to talking to you. Call us during
the news, or we'll actually call us after the news
is probably best. We can email and text anytime nine
to nine two to text or Marcussette news talking zi'db
dot co dot and did that's the best way to
eil me email me. I think it's the only way
actually factually, anyway back after the news, catch a little

(01:20:12):
bit sissing. No, I've got very interesting news just to hand.
I'm not gonna go breaking news, but sometimes I think
probably I should. The I've got got authority that upper Hut,
the New World upper Hut, silver Stream, they've got the
Smeg braziers, brases, brass, brass, brass, they've got the brazers,

(01:20:33):
So Smeg Braisers, silver Stream upper Hut. If everyone could
confirm that for me, when were you last there? If
you do not let me know go this trail, I'll
probably close at ten.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
We're talking about tracking your bosses, tracking your movements in
your car and how that works out for you. There's
one guy says you come and use the Bluetooth, so yeah,
if you want to talk about that also tonight, and
the fact that the New World's run out of the
brazers no surprise is there, and objects you can see
from space. That's three topics for starters. The back topics

(01:21:12):
are Grimace, the K Pop series It's got the kids.
I wonder if anyone's actually watched that. That's something else too.
I told you last night I K Pop Demon Hunters.
But do get in touch if you're to any of
the stuff or there anything else you want to mention tonight. No,

(01:21:33):
I did read something today, not from a very reliable source.
I have to admit right that in China they've worked
out how to make paper and board from sand in

(01:21:55):
the desert. Sand in the desert, And when you are
and there are all these factories now moving to the
desert to make sand to make paper and board. They
didn't invent paper in the first place, I'm thinking, Wow, No,
good for us, We've got no desert. But yeah, that

(01:22:20):
was interesting. I thought that could change the world in
quite a big way. I'm not suggesting that it's a
talkback topic, by the way, either. I don't know where
we'd go without talking about turning sand into paper. But gee, yeah,
makes sense, doesn't it. That's something else you might want

(01:22:40):
to talk about. My name is Marcus good Evening welcome,
eight hundred and eighty nine. Anything goes, It's a Tuesday
free for all. There might be something entirely different you
want to ponder about, and I don't have a problem
with that at all. In fact, I'd love it and
embrace it. So get in touch and feel free to
come through. I we bringing news to you as I
see it, international news and local news, and do get

(01:23:05):
in touch as I say too. We've talked mainly about
driving and whether your bosses allow you to eat food
in the car or the truck. A lot of places
you can't do that. Now. IM surprised about that because
to me that seems slightly means spirited. I guess you
do need a hand to week, don't you. I'm surprised

(01:23:28):
trucks don't have things that actually prevent you from using
cell phones rather than filming you. I thought they just
have disablers. Maybe that technology is not that good. Is
that's what we're on about so far tonight, But get
in touch. By name's Marcus, Welcome, Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten. Eighty and nine to nine two to text

(01:23:51):
anything else, love to hear from you. But yet sure
show remember that too. There's something you feel judy bound
to talk about. Get in touch and how it is
an amazing how spring it feels like it though? Is
what else experiencing that is that we've had no winter? Yeah,

(01:24:15):
Hi Vaughan, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:24:22):
Before we're talking about the cameras and the cab and
how he wasn't all for it, not something, but I
reckon it's not a bad idea. Actually, I used to
drive back in the day we didn't have any cameras
and GPS and that sort of thing, and then gone
back to driving where you've got cameras and fatigue manage
it and all that sort of stuff, And I reckon
that's way.

Speaker 14 (01:24:40):
Better these days, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
What's the difference.

Speaker 17 (01:24:45):
So fatigue management is if you if you take your
eyes off the road or close your eyes, it'll it
doesn't see your eyes for a few seconds, it'll shake
the seat in the ideas, if you go to sleep,
it'll hopefully wake up before you get too far out
of out.

Speaker 3 (01:25:01):
Of the lane.

Speaker 17 (01:25:02):
And then the camera is just like desk came to
forward facing and then in cave facing a net. So
I had complained a little while ago guy I reckon,
I'd cut him off and all the rest of it.
So we just pulled the camera footage and yeah, you
can see him break checking me on the motorway and
all that sort of thing. So you're certainly from my
point of view, I'm happy to have it any day.

Speaker 6 (01:25:21):
Of a week.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
When you say break checking, explain that to me. It's
done expression. I know what the what did the guy do?

Speaker 17 (01:25:28):
Long fly along passion and then pulling fronting and slam
on the brakes and I sort of trucking along. So yeah,
he just on the motorway like cut off and so
he was just pulled in front of me and slowed
right down and had the brakes and then i'd pull
it out to overtake and he had to shoot off
again and that sort of thing, and there's all on camera,
and then you know, see a transport manager is good

(01:25:49):
on him. So I just you know, wait and see
if he's going to do anything, he's going to take
it to the police or whatever. We've got all the
camera footage, so I'm all for it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:55):
So why would have you got Why would he complain
if he got this that's the wrong end of the stick.

Speaker 17 (01:26:00):
Well, everyone wants to blame a tractor other, you know,
it's always a tractor of fu Yeah, I mean we
come through emerging lane. You know, I'm twenty three meters
and then we get to emerging lane. So if he's
not at my cab, guess he's giving way.

Speaker 5 (01:26:14):
It's not me.

Speaker 17 (01:26:16):
So you know, he thinks I'm cutting him off. Well
I'm actually just merging, so you know, trying to trunk
to a lane change and things like that. But yeah,
everyone likes to pick on the track driver. That's just
effective life. And that's what cameras are great. Cameras are good.

Speaker 2 (01:26:29):
See haven't got a camera at the back of your truck? Heaview.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
No.

Speaker 17 (01:26:32):
But after this in then we're actually we're looking at
sort of putting a couple more and to look down
the side down there, you know, hiading on the mirrors,
looking back just sot to see what's happening behind us.
But you know, we come over the comes every night
and it's the slow vehicle base. When you're coming out
of there, you know, you might even three white somebody's
still overtaking and somebody's overtaken the person that's overtaken you,

(01:26:55):
and you know it's pretty hairy. But it's all on camera,
so you know, anyone that's against cameras, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
I've meant to ask one of you guys for a while,
how bad is the CIMI row?

Speaker 17 (01:27:08):
Look at the road that will kill you without a doubt.
But he just got to treat it with respect, and
you know, just don't hurry.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Is it fit for purposes? It need to be replaced
by something like a tunnel.

Speaker 17 (01:27:20):
Absolutely, tunnels the way to go. How many hours and
then hours to tract drivers lives and then diesel and
tires are burnt gone up and down there every day,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
So because how long is how long does the full
thing take? Ah?

Speaker 17 (01:27:33):
Probably take me twenty minutes to go from the work
it over to uh, you know, get to the top.
So I'm down to about twenty five k if I'm
fully loaded for the time we get on to the
top of the pinch, it's about near twenty five k
down to twenty twenty five k, okay, so plenty of
time to have a bit of a feed and so
there the cameras certainly don't mind if we're eating or
anything like that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:53):
So it's all.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
It's not a difficult road, or it is difficult.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
Oh, it's a road.

Speaker 17 (01:27:59):
You've got to know, there's no doubt about it, you
know if you know. So we're doing it every night,
so we get to know every bump, every corner, you know,
how fast we can corner. We know what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
We know you know.

Speaker 14 (01:28:10):
But yeah, you've got to.

Speaker 17 (01:28:11):
Treat it with a respect. So I'm going a few
mates that are they've lost their lives on it. So
it's and that's always a road that you're just like,
you know, you have to drive to the conditions.

Speaker 8 (01:28:21):
You know.

Speaker 17 (01:28:21):
That's what it comes down. Who doesn't matter what the roads,
you know, it's not the road, it's just what.

Speaker 7 (01:28:25):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Nice to hear from you everyone. Thanks for your time.
Get in touch if you want to add to that
or anything else you want to talk about. People. Marcus
till twelve Hi, Marcus as tally two point nine degrees
here and uphut will be a cold night for someone
camping outside the New World. If I don't have to work,
I'll be out in there tomorrow to watch the bull
rush for the front door, Marcaus it freaks me out.

(01:28:47):
The guy who was diving driving dangerous good as a smoke,
or he's going a long way away from the cab.
Bananas are fruiting and orcand right now global warming is
getting a bit out of control. But New World silver
streams got the brazers, Marcus. What is wrong with people

(01:29:08):
have huge respect for truck drivers and always give them
plenty of room. It's simple physics. If things go wrong,
if things go wrong, welcome people if you want to
be part of the show. Money us Marcus. Good evening
back on driving, Funnily enough, we're stuck in a rut
with driving. That's a good thing. We're just talking about

(01:29:30):
getting your care monitored by your bosses. How that works
out for you. And they are short of drivers. I
don't think it's because of the It seems as though
people like what's going on in there keeps them safer.
You might have something to say about that also tonight.

(01:29:55):
And if you've got any breaking news where you are,
if anything that's happening around the world, let us know, oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Also, so we've got
council elections coming up to probably important thing is to
get registered and then vote. I think to the voting
right to be down about forty five percent, which is fine,

(01:30:15):
but yeah, you might want to mention that anyway. Seventeen
past ten, Hi.

Speaker 10 (01:30:18):
Marcus, I'm just ringing to ask a question, really, and
that is about what time of the night you're supposed
to put your lights on when you're driving. I ask
the question because I'm conscious that there's a lot of
older people driving now. People are I mean that over

(01:30:39):
sixties and with the nights like they are, people with
dark cars don't have their lights on on twilight time.
And I wondered if there was a law against about
that or whether it's just common sense.

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Are you a driver?

Speaker 10 (01:31:00):
I am a driver and I drive home about five
o'clock at night just now. I'm in Auckland, so just
on dusk, and it's particularly the darker cars you don't
actually see them until they're quite close. And yes, I've
got good eyesight.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Yeah, it was always a question, right, and the road
code was you had to know what the legal hours
of darkness were. That's my memory.

Speaker 7 (01:31:32):
It used to be, I.

Speaker 10 (01:31:33):
Think, but I don't think that applies now without with
modern cars. For example, my car automatically turns its light
on when I turned on. Yeah, but the cars I'm thinking,
like starlets and demos or ten year old cars, it's
quite dangerous and I'm wondering whether people are aware of

(01:31:58):
that or not. I find myself flashing my which is
probably quite illegal, flashing my headlights at people to remind
them to put your lights on.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Oh, I think I think that's always a friendly reminder.
I think it's a good thing to do.

Speaker 10 (01:32:13):
Oh, thank goodness for that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Yeah, no, I encourage that.

Speaker 6 (01:32:18):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
I don't think they like it when you flash people
warning them. That's the speed camera head. I think that's
that's frowned upon. But Petsy, I think the legal hours
of sun the legal hours of day of darkness are
an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise. It
when you've got your lights on.

Speaker 10 (01:32:36):
Okay, so there's what I call a great area.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Then, No, it's quite defined. Half an hour after sunset
and half an hour before sunrise. It's when you've got
your lights on.

Speaker 10 (01:32:47):
Oh okay, okay, yeah, to watch it.

Speaker 17 (01:32:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
I don't know if that's changed, Patsy, but thank you
that's that's always was one of the things of the
road code. Marcus. Anyone cliped in the KFC key rings,
it will only cost you forty four ninety seven to
collect all three key wings, one free with every zinger,
sting and meal every I thought they looked good. Yeah,
I thought, well, good on them. I mean the fact
that McDonald's beat you. It's a chicken. Maybe they're gonna

(01:33:13):
win the battle to the key rings, a little bit
of tet for people to get into. Yeah, good on them.
I suppose someone said, it's not thirty minutes after dusk,
it's three minutes after dusk. It's pitch black. No, not
three minutes after dust, three minutes after sunset. Dusk is

(01:33:35):
the time after sunset. I think, yes, there'd be the
definition of dusk. Dusk is after sunset. All these teams
don't really know what they are. It takes seventy to
one hundred and forty minutes to get dark after sunset.

(01:34:02):
There you go, just so you know, twenty three past eleven,
moname after ten. My name is Marcus. Welcome, can confirm
my tenure on Demio has sensor lights. Thank you. Yeah,
I thought she was slightly trying to shame the demo
drivers DeMeo shamer. Alvin, Yeah, mate, how are you good? Alvin?

Speaker 20 (01:34:25):
You're talking about that Brazier earlier? I too was he
came up against a brick wall in the Browns Bay
New World and they promised me they had four left
and they wouldn't sell them if they said they were demos.
So I rang head office and they put me through
to the warehouse. He won't believe this, but I was
told they're not bringing any more in at all. And

(01:34:49):
then the guy said Spotlight has them, has a similar
one for sixty dollars, which they have, and I went
and born and it's a beautiful thing. Wow, it's better
made by Launchhot. It's a man who you know, the
chef man?

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Who was he dodger? Was he dodgy? All the shifts
on Mastership are in trouble, aren't they? But not him?

Speaker 20 (01:35:14):
I don't know. I hadn't didn't follow it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
So you say Spotlight that's the material shop, Is that right?

Speaker 7 (01:35:20):
Correct?

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:35:21):
Well I got money in Albany.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
And you're sure you sure was Spotlight?

Speaker 20 (01:35:26):
Absolutely? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
I'm going to look.

Speaker 20 (01:35:29):
They're on fire sixty dollars and it's slightly bigger, and
it's better made by a long shot if you look
at the quality.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
I don't know that Spotlight did coqueer.

Speaker 20 (01:35:42):
Well, I didn't neither, but there I found it.

Speaker 17 (01:35:45):
I'm just I'm just.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
Gonna look at it. Oh yes, although it's a deeper
well that's is it more a casser old dish? Oh no,
there's the brazier. You're right, yeah, culinary co by Manu
cast iron, shallow casserol. That's a brazier, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
It is?

Speaker 20 (01:36:05):
And you know it was been nine hundred to get one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:10):
It's interesting. I don't know whether that's I don't know
whether that guy should be applauded or he just he
must have a suit sick of head office putting people
through to the way house. We just say go to.

Speaker 5 (01:36:18):
Spotlight, I would so.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Yeah, that's right, looks identical. It's got a nice got
a brass looking thing on it too, Hasn't it a
brass looking sort of handle?

Speaker 20 (01:36:28):
You know, I'm looking at No, it's actually sitting on
the stovetop, is getting nowhere else to put it. But
it actually looks looks nice in the kitchen because.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Of the way it's half an I'll get one tomorrow.
You've been a lifesaver.

Speaker 3 (01:36:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
And no spotlight? Did that spotlight very much getting into
Brisco's domain. Next thing, Briscoes, are we selling curtains? I
think they do? Bah blah blah. There we go solved.
Now we're on about driving with your lights on. People
love that, Marcus. The new cars have headlights that turn

(01:37:02):
on when you start the car. I maintain we should
drive with headlights on permanently. Try driving with cars coming
towards you, traveling into the sun. They have very difficult
to see. I believe that in Europe headlights have to
be on regardless of the time of day. Blessings and
Heather the problem that you'd leave your lights on, Marcus,

(01:37:29):
spotlight have forty percent off store wide finishing tomorrow, so
paid by it. Then Linda get in touch by name
is Marcus? Welcome? You said what happened to morrow? They
just got sick of him, didn't he from because they've

(01:37:51):
stacked everyone from master Chief. But then all the English
people got sacked because one with hands one was handsy,
and one was using the in word not God. None
of them all seem to be atrocious characters. And the
guard astray would didn't pay a staff. We are talking
about driving again and when staff can monitor, when your

(01:38:13):
bosses can monitor you in the cab of your car,
how far they should go. No one has a problem
with it. We're also talking about New World and once
again their promotion that starts off great because is the
people a huge amount of concern and worry and in

(01:38:34):
is feffing around trying to find things. That's something you
might want to talk about tonight. And Grimace from McDonald's
it's a tear, it's a taste bud. No one knew
what Grimace was. Now we know that Grimace is a
taste bud. That's surprising. By the way, in all my days,

(01:38:58):
I've never thought, here's a good idea, let's build a
new clear reactor on the moon. But that's what China
in the US to try to do. Why would you
want that? Out of all the things you could do,
why would you want a nuclear reactor on the moon.

(01:39:22):
We've gone mad. So I don't know what you want
to say about that. I don't know if I don't
know if that's a talk back topic. Can't work out
what the point of it is. But yeah, that's something
you might want to mention too. It's all on tonight people,

(01:39:46):
Cruisy Tuesday. They're calling what was Grimace one of the
most bizarre pop culture mysteries of all time because it
was a hamburg We don't know what the hamburglar. Well,
I actually don't know what the Hamburgler was. It was
a guy that wanted to steal burgers like a criminal.
But Grimace and people can't cope with that that there's

(01:40:09):
a giant anthropomorphic taste, Bud. I don't know if we
had Grimace. Oh, Birdie, the early bird is the other
person and the Hamburglar and Grimace. Yep, who heard it here?

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
First?

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Welcome people, Marcus till twelve. Anything you want to mention,
text it through. I have a brazy from Spotlight. Love
at cheers, Tracy Marcus. Money was not a master chief.
It was my kitchen rules. Spotlight have sold kitchen where
for years. Well, it's such a depressing shop to go

(01:40:50):
and there's stuff everywhere. People rummaging through fabric too clutter
it For me, Spotlight, it's too chaotic. Oh yeah, if
I'm over there, it's in and out to buy some
buttons or some zips. But ye, I don't linger. I
think this shop looks interesting. It's wand around to said

(01:41:11):
there's something I need. If there's a Brazier. Headlights are
dangerous in the hills. When on a slope during the day,
blinds you a bit. I always flesh people high beam
to teach them a lesson. The auto switch can be
changed to manual settings, Andre Ringuura Gee. Teaching people a lesson?
Is that your job? Andre? Is that the editude we

(01:41:35):
want with drivers to teach other people a lesson? Godness,
mind is some of these new car lights is new
led ones, whatever they are. The low beam looks like
high beam, and when they go over bump, I think,
I think you flesh and you think there might be
a cop coming out. Then you just realize it's a bump.

(01:41:56):
A ways, A little to say about that twenty six
away from twelve eleven, ten eleven, it's call it that
away from I mean twenty six to eleven. The Brazier
probably said that more times I've said Brazer before on
a show. Welcome to this program. If you want to talk.

(01:42:19):
We're getting another series of Celebrity Treasure Island. You excited
about that? Yep, there we go. All that ended on air.
Funding was announced and the shows are going to be funded.
Seems to be reality TV programs. It's what we're getting,

(01:42:39):
just so you know, at least we're still making local shows.
I guess that's a good thing. It is the death
knell of TV, though, I mean Shortann Street's probably got
one more year than I think, probably out next year.
That will be the end of all of it. They'll
shut them down, I would think. Although we are going

(01:43:01):
to get a movie based on the TV series The
Dog Show, which I thought was quite a nice idea
for a concept. For those that don't remember The Dog Show,
forget the name of the it was John Gordon, the MC.
It was Dog Trials. It wouldn't sound that interesting, but

(01:43:21):
it was riveting because the sheep was so frustrating to watch.

Speaker 21 (01:43:28):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
That's that that's coming. There's a TV show based on it. Ie,
it's got the same theme tune because that was a
ripper of a theme tune for The Dog Show. Anyway,
enough for me. Twenty four to twelve eleven, Yeah, hi Troy,
this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:43:43):
Oh hello, Yes, I'm for having a nuclear reactor on
the moon. I know It does sound risky, but I
just think for space advancement, which is very the Moon
is becoming a jumping spot of place to further travel.

(01:44:07):
You know, we've got Mars and to see the rest
of our Solar system, and I think that a nuclear
reactor would just really help to build the infrastructure. But
I know it does sound risky.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
What do you think had you heard of it before today?

Speaker 4 (01:44:28):
I've heard that, Yes, they do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
The Moon is a very.

Speaker 4 (01:44:33):
Looked at place right now because we can further advance
into space if we have a port at the Moon.

Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
But have you heard had you heard nuclear generator on
the a reactor on the moon? Had you heard it
talked about before today? Because I've never heard it mentioned.

Speaker 4 (01:44:57):
Yes, I think I have. I do watch on YouTube
a lot of stuff to do with space. Very int
very exciting. But in a way, a nuclear reactor does
sound risky, but I can understand what advancements it could
make on the Moon.

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
But you need staff to man it, wouldn't you.

Speaker 4 (01:45:23):
Of course, they're looking to put a whole port on
the Moon. I mean, you know America's doing the same.
They've got their eyes on the Moon. So China and
Russia will everyone has.

Speaker 2 (01:45:42):
Okay, So in order to have people living on the Moon,
you need a euclear reactor there to power those residents.
Is that the point?

Speaker 17 (01:45:53):
Well, I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:45:54):
You necessarily need a nuclear reactor, but I think that's
a big idea because that would generate a lot of
power to build a lot of infrastructure and you know,
to actually but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:46:09):
But I guess you've got a huge I guess you've
got the age of problem of nuclear waste, which they've
never really managed to resolve. And you couldn't bring that
back to Earth because it would be too risky bringing
it through through the atmosphere, wouldn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:46:27):
Wow, I don't really know about that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
So what would you do with the waste?

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
Maybe there's diget into the moon. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
Sorry, that sounds pretty bad to Yeah, I can't see
how that works at all.

Speaker 4 (01:46:48):
Well, I'm sure there are scientists, so, I mean, I
fear thinking of doing that. They've already thought about the waste.
How they would do it, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
Know, but the expression mad sign is probably there for
a reason. I can't see what you do with the waste.
But jenison into space?

Speaker 4 (01:47:05):
Yeah, out towards the year to another galaxy does it?

Speaker 2 (01:47:10):
Universe doesn't seem fair though, it doesn't end up coming back,
and it won't break out of the out of the
gravitational pull of the Earth and probably end up coming
down here and killing us all.

Speaker 4 (01:47:21):
Well, yeah, I think if they can't get rid of
the waste, then they shouldn't even be considering it. But
I don't believe they would consider such a thing to
put all of us at risk.

Speaker 2 (01:47:35):
I've got no idea how it comes back down to
work out. Okay, Troy, thanks for that. Seventeen to eleven, Marcus,
send Trump one way ticket to the moon. He's a genius.
He can work it out. Marcus, building a new corrector
on the moon means a source of power for building
sustaining long term habitation. There an important to be able

(01:47:55):
to colonize and sustain human activity on Mars. But what
do you do with a waste? Marc's you have money
mixed up with someone else. Money hasn't been involved within
those things. No, man who was on my kitchen rules
not masters chief. We found out two separate cooking shows,
al though they seem quite similar to me. Oh my god,

(01:48:17):
on the moon, what are they trying to do to us.
This is only one way to really wreck the world.
Is the moon affects our tides, et cetera. Things because
of stupid people are getting ridiculous. Been the same on
doing good things on Earth. There we won't need to
be looking at trying to populate somewhere else. And I
think all the ideas of going to the Mars are

(01:48:38):
they're far feature. It's not going to happen. You can't
send humans to there. That's despite people, these Silicon Valley
people getting obsessed about it. No, you can't do it.
They reckon the scientists. It's pie and the sky stuff. Mackayla,
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:48:54):
Oh how are you tonight?

Speaker 5 (01:48:56):
Marcus good?

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Thank you, Mikayla.

Speaker 8 (01:48:58):
Oh that's good. Yeah, I've just got a couple of
things to wait about the Moon. I've been studying for years.
I've found out that it's not actually earless. It's still
ear and if you're elevated, you will bounce on the moon.

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
I think you can always don't gravity as much as it.

Speaker 8 (01:49:21):
You know, you've just got to be level headed.

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
Yeah, they'd be right. Yeah, it's a great thing, the moon.
If I can say that. Oh, she's gone. Look up
when you disappeared. Welcome people, Marcus till twelve oh, eight
hundred and eighty today fourteen or fourteen to midnight tw eleven,

(01:49:48):
Oh my goodness, just eight weeks to daylight savings. Can't wait.
It's come along quite quickly. I like it when winter
goes quickly. All Marcus late to the party. Just saw
young blooded back to the beginning. You were one hundred
percent right, fantastic, Yes, thanks for that. Leave the moon alone.
We can't even manage the earth responsibly. Well, that's why

(01:50:13):
they're trying to change the narrative. Let's look elsewhere. It's
ridiculous thing. It's immature thinking. That's what it is. Twelve
Way from eleven o'clock Markets till midnight, Tim beverage from
twelve mainly tonight. We've talked about the brazier at New
World and the fact now there's a lot of jobs

(01:50:37):
right where you can't eat. Well, yeah, they're filming you
in the cabs of trucks and how that matters to
you or how it's affected your job driving when your
car and truck has been monitored by your bosses. New

(01:51:00):
Zealand has beaten Iraq and basketball and Jetta Saudi Arabia.
That's a good thing. Hum mahave King Aideen points. Of course,
he's the guy that was with the Todunger fire. I
think they were this year. This guy's going to go

(01:51:22):
to the NBA but came back, so he's there in
the tool backs going well. And if you want to
talk on air, God, that's the whole point tonight. There's
something different you want to mention. That's good as well.
Keep those texts banging through emails, banging through anything at

(01:51:43):
our ten away from eleven o'clock. Sorry, I've been tardy
with telling the time day. I don't quite know what's
going on for that. I feel like, yeah, that's why
I looked at daylight saving so I felt already i'd
turn the clocks forward. Umm. I was interested about that.
What you can see from space, not the Great Wall,

(01:52:03):
but the cooling lakes at Chernobyl and the world's biggest
copper mine is revisible, yep. And that all those amazing
glasshouses in Spain down on the coast there, which is

(01:52:23):
just thousands of acres from them. You will have seen
those shots probably on Facebook something. It's pretty amazing. If
that's kind of what we're on about tonight, and if
there's something else you want to talk about all those
things themselves. God, I'd like to hear from you tonight.
Man have his markets welcome you do, get in touch

(01:52:46):
and if there's news for you, I'll keep you updated.
So you're just seeing sports updates tonight. So far, free
cold later on tonight, certainly in the South Islands, the
third cold night in a row, and the zero degrees

(01:53:08):
where I leave work tonight. Don't have a problem that,
but it was cold. I was on the farms down
the frost stayed, parts of the farm lost, planting trees
breaking through ice, out of the sun the frost and
disappear that crunch as the spade goes through. I was excited.

(01:53:30):
I found a big area of watercress established itself in
a waterway, So very excited about that. Love watercress soup.
So I'm pretty sure it's watercress. Absolutely confirmed it yet,
but pretty sure. I had planted some, but it's kind

(01:53:51):
of grown a place where I hadn't planted. It's growing upstream.
Not quite sure what that's about, but anyway, No drummers
ate a great to get a call before the news.
It's eight away from eleven o'clock. If you want to
come through and now, I'd love to hear from you.
As I say, there might be something different you want
to talk about. That's not a problem. I was wanting

(01:54:13):
to talk about that new K pop TV show. Also
if some adults watch that. Also, if you want to
talk about anything else today, feel free to.

Speaker 3 (01:54:26):
Oh, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:54:28):
There might be some people at work late. I was
keen to talk to exporters who want to talk about
the fifteen percent tariff. And what's interest about the fifteen
percent tariff is it's the consumers that pay the money.
The purchases pay it to the Australia to the American government.

(01:54:50):
So all it really means is the goods the fifteen
percent more expensive in the States. So I presume the
exporters get the same money for it. It's just that
it's not priced as competitively. I don't know what the
upshot of all of that would be, but yeah, it's
something that you might have thought about. Want to mention.

(01:55:13):
I thought, I really thought that we would have talked
our way out of that by now. I thought we'd
have some smart person talking to America would at least
get it talked down to parity with Australia, which was
ten percent, But no word of that at all. Which, yeah,
I think that's pretty poor form actually, particularly since we've
we've got kind of cozy status with America. It's embarrassing.

(01:55:39):
On the same week they opened up the FBI here
and no one can quite work out the reason for
that into bang fifteen percent on our exports to the States.
It's not going to help the economy at all anyway.
That's just I just was curious if someone was an exporter,
they might want to talk about that. Seven away from
eleven many wine's going to be affected. I think wine's

(01:56:02):
having quite a problem anyway, because people aren't drinking, isn't it. Oh,
here's a long text topic. Dangerously riding electric dirt bikes
and mountain bikes near Miss twenty seventh July Central Parade,

(01:56:22):
two dirt bikes electric said Toby's away from serious early
elderly man skatepark next door. They were lucky my car
was a flat battery, or I would have told them
do as you wish, you stay away from busy footpaths.
Gave police. Now two weeks deadline to alter the law. Marcus,

(01:56:43):
do you live on a lifestyle block? I hope that's
not too personal asking that not a lifestyle block alone. No,
I don't, but it's not far from home. It would
be three kilometers from home, and it's twenty acres and

(01:57:04):
I probably planted two hundred trees to and yeah, and
that's always good to do that in the day because
it's just a beautiful weather. That's what I was doing.
And it will be two thirds native bush within five years.
I would think there is some pasture with about fifteen lamb, No,

(01:57:28):
about twelve lambs and fifteen sheep. And I'm waiting for
lambs on the top panic. They haven't happened yet, although
I got myself worked out with the gestation and everything.
I reckon they'll probably be born sometimes in the fourth
and the fifteenth of August, and if not, then well
it's not going to happen. That's my type. On that one.
Take on that one, Marcus. You can see the eye

(01:57:48):
of Africa from space. It's the western Sahara Desert. Marcus.
Do you one notice the moon tonight? You could notice
a mist like ring around it? What was that about
eight o'clock, don't know, don't know what the mister is
around the moon could be sand is it? But thanks

(01:58:08):
for that. Keep those emails coming in texts. If you
want to talk, even better, call before the news would
be great. Otherwise we'll do it the next hour. Eating
in your cabs at work, monitoring GPS from your cars.
When the bosses do that and you get a report back,
how's that not that good? A Although people don't seem

(01:58:29):
to mind it, it's a topic. And these damn brazes
from New World, none of them are available. How do
you feel about that? Well, that clipping and saving those
tiny stickers. The most reassuring story about that was the

(01:58:51):
guy that just found all the stickers in the car
park at Island Bay, New Island Bay, New World and Wellington.
Most of just got blown away. He just wandered around
the car park. The whole family had brazes, the daughters
and everyone. Yeah, but that was pretty amazing. They get
blown around. So yep, there's that also tonight. But do

(01:59:17):
get in touch Marcus till midnight if you want to
talk anything else. We're here until twelve ten. Beverage along
at midnight. Don't call me during the news if you
want to get your teed up for the next hour
and ye as you go, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty,
there's something else you want to talk about. Not fuss
in the last hour. Anyone else disappointed by the series alone?
Like I am, that's just kind of deteriorded to nothing.

(01:59:38):
That's the one in South Africa. If you want to
mention that, that's on TVNZ plus. I was looking forward
to that, but it's been incredibly disappointing, So yes, that
could be something you can mention too. But with you
till twelve and do get in touch if you've got
anything to say. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and

(02:00:00):
nineteen ninety to text. If you want to email, that's good.
If you want to fact you can't. We finally got
to the fax machine. How old do they last? Thirty years? Goodness? Anyway,
see after the break, greeting and good evening the people
of New Zealand and welcome seven past eleven. How are you,
what's happening? What's got you going tonight? People? Let us

(02:00:23):
hear from you, Let me hear from you. If you
want to talk on here, that's probably the easiest way
to see it. The appearance about that that that about
going on the nuclear thing on the moon, that's madness. Marcus,

(02:00:46):
my brother. I listen to you and often wonder where
you're broadcast from. We assume there's not a studio in Bluff.
I broadcast from Invert Cargol twenty minute Drive Marcus. Can
we expect to see you in the next series of
Celebrity Treasure Island? All that sick if you had could

(02:01:07):
have been a cover store. I don't think they've filmed
it yet. Josh from Reef Toon. Thank you, Josh, you
know I do get in touch. You want to talk
on here eight past eleven, eight hundred eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine to de text looking forward to
what you've got to say. Anything else, let's be hearing
from you. So yeah, if you want to talk, that's
we're on about tonight. Also, if you're an exporter, I

(02:01:31):
find that quite interesting going into the state that fifteen
percent tear of how you think that's going to affect
your business? It might be something you might want to
talk about as well tonight people se Yeah, that's all
on tonight eight hundred eighty, ten eighty and nine two
nine two de text. There's anything else you want to mention,
if there's something different you want to talk about this
time of the night. I don't have a problem with that.

(02:01:53):
I've enjoyed the discussion so far tonight, actually enjoyed the
discussion of the last couple of nights with the driving.
So you do come through if you've got anything to add.
By the way, what was that word the DBO. That
was the other thing too, they're finally revealed the transport

(02:02:14):
lines with the new inner city rail in Auckland, and
the names of their live very very interesting. Actually, I
don't know if anyone. I've spent a long time obsessed
that which way the railway lines will go, and I've
got that all worked out. I've got that all worked

(02:02:35):
out in my head about how it's going to go.
So yeah, So there'll be a line that goes from
west Auckland that will go from west Auckland to Mount Eden,
then down and around through britam Art, then out over

(02:02:57):
Hobson Bay and around past Sylvia Park and then down
and down and around southbound to Pokakoe. There'll be another
line that goes from Pooker Curry that will come down
around the loop and back down south, and there'd be
a third line that goes from Ornie Hunger via new

(02:03:17):
Market around not going into the sea but to new
Market and then going out as far as west Auckland.
So yeah, it looks like they've got that worked out
quite well. In the trains. It seems that they're going
to be really frequent as well, like I think every
eight minutes. So it's a great system that's all about

(02:03:39):
to happen. So yeah, if you've seen that, they've kind
of got that all worked out where it's going to be,
and I'm quite excited about that. I think probably I'll
be very excited about the first day when that opens.
It could be next year, hopefully in the beginning of
next year. So yes, they've got kind of gone with
quite boring names for the rail lines. I think one's
called the West South Line. I can't find the article

(02:04:05):
is to ratch with, but yeah, they've got names like that.
They could have gone with something slightly more excited, they
haven't done that, so that's the situation. So yeah, there's
three lines. I'll try and find the because I'm sure
the railb's test is like myself we'll be looking forward
to going on that when it first opens. But yeah,

(02:04:27):
that's all been announced in the last couple of days. Yes.
So the names of the lines are the East West Line,
the Ornie Hunger West Line, and the South Central Line.
It's called E W, O, W and SC and there's
brilliant maps for it that are very clear to look at.

(02:04:50):
So the map from Ornie Hunger, the line from Ornie
Hunger goes Onnie Hunger, Tipapapa, Penrose, Lz Green Ande, Ramawetter,
New Market, then Kingsland Morning Side Bald when they have
out to Swanson, so that one doesn't go through the
center city. But the line that they're calling the East

(02:05:11):
South Line that will go around the lower Loop will
come down through what was Mound Eden, down through the
Central one under Wellesley Street, down through Britain Art which
is now called White to Matar, then around allD Archy
Meadow Bank, Glens Pameua, Sylvia Park and back down the
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (02:05:29):
So yep.

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
So there's three lines, the s C line, the South
City Line, the EW line which is the East West line,
and the OW which is orne hung A West. So
they've all been named I think the Ornie hung a
West will be the one you get to go and
see the warriors. So yeah, the maps are good and
I'm looking forward to that opening. That's all happening soon,
by the way, So that's not far away, less than
a year, maybe six months away. So that's what the

(02:05:54):
name of them are. Yep. Anyway, do get in touch
if you want to talk anyway. I wait, eighteen eighty
My name is Marcus Welcomes. That's the situation where the
railway lines. Let's how it all works, well, Marcus, building

(02:06:17):
a hydro station on the moon would be madness, lunacy even, yes,
that's right. Although there was water on the moon, wasn't
I'm just not quite sure what form it's in. What's
predicting the Tintin books. You do get in touch, you
want to talk anyway, enough raving for me, thirteen past

(02:06:39):
eleven o'clock, oh, seventeen past and even hey, listen, it's
Marcus Welcome. Good evening, Good evening, Marcus, Hi, liston Hi.

Speaker 3 (02:06:50):
The story that I want to give is that the
Americans have been ripping us off for years. It's not
the way that our friend Donald Trump says. And the
reason I'm saying, man is if you go and buy
some at McDonald's, no traded item crosses the border, but

(02:07:13):
an awful lot of money lands up in America. So
it is in fact the capital account that we pay
to them, not a trade account, or should be looked
at both. And if you say John McDonald's only one example,
if I carry on and I talk about Netflix every

(02:07:34):
time who subscribed to Netflix, or you go to a
hotel and you buy a video, you are paying money
to America, but it does not go through the traded
goods account. So he's looking at the wrong thing.

Speaker 7 (02:07:54):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
Again, I don't know why this item has not been
raised by anybody else, but it's very strange as well,
because I've actually read his the Pictair of the Economic
Advisory Committee, Stephen Miron, and his philosophy relates back to

(02:08:18):
a time when we had fixed exchange rates, and when
you had fixed exchange rates, you all reserves with up
and down. And he says, well, ours are never going
up and the others are all going up. They're not.
They're all staying dead flat, except for China, which has
tied its currency to Americas, so they run a trade surplus.

(02:08:43):
So his method of solving the problem is one hundred
percent wrong? How about that?

Speaker 2 (02:08:51):
What seems to be interesting is the tariffs are returning
quite a lot of money for the government, which they
reckon subsequent subsequent government in America will find it very
hard to actually give up that money. So it seems
as though the tariffs, even though they've been widely pellor
reed and ridiculed, it looks like they probably will be
there to stay that subsequent governments will be loath to

(02:09:13):
remove them. So even though that doesn't make any economic sense,
it does seem to be making venue for them.

Speaker 3 (02:09:19):
Well, can I can I go a little bit further?

Speaker 11 (02:09:22):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (02:09:22):
If you have a look at what's been happening in
the United States, it has been going rather well, and
one of the reasons is that people have been stocking up.
If I told you things are going to cost ten
and thirty percent more on a buying spray nce time,
you would stock up. So I predict that for the

(02:09:43):
next six months, as long as that that's right to
the end of the year, imports to the United States
will basically vanish, except for goods which can't be replaced
and are needed on a continuous basis. That's point one
point two is that he has exempted in more this

(02:10:04):
number of goods flowing into United States of which they require.
So he's not very increasing those that he perceives that
he needs. But the bigger problem than you re good
is to get anerative growing again. You need to build
new factories, you need to relocate people. That takes years.

(02:10:27):
I'm sorry it can't happen overnight. And although people have
had planned to be able to do something, some of
them are only in their infancy now. So all I'm
saying is watch this space.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
Nice to hear from you. Listen nicely. Put twenty parts eleven. Welcome.
My name is Marcus good evening. Also to the rail system,
the plans for Apen have been revealed. Thought that was
quite exciting what was happening there. I always wondered how
they're going to use that loop. Well, it's not really
a loop. There's no trains go right round it. It's
more like a interchange. I guess it'd be the right
way to describe it. It's quite exciting the way it's

(02:11:05):
going to work. So there we go, Marcus. The only
reason they're building a nuclear power station on the Moon
is to produce nuclear weapons. It's all about strategic advantage,
the same reason there is a strong military presence from
every country in Antarctica, strategic advantage. Do you know of

(02:11:27):
a good prickly hedge type of tree that keeps the
wind out and there's also sheep eating proof? Well no,
but someone I don't think, I don't. They don't. They
don't need tea tree Monica. But Monica aren't going to
make a hedge, are they? One of those pillows would work, wouldn't.

(02:11:49):
They don't think the sheep will at those, will they? Anyway?
Twenty one past eleven, Moname is Marcus. Hello, welcome, good
evening fever to talk about the old Smeg Brazier finally
got that right too. Someone said that the New World
and silver Stream, I think they said, has got some
So if you're looking to casting your numbers, that might

(02:12:10):
be at tabs. That might be where you want to go.
Also tonight, also talk about eating and drinking in trucks
and when you're filmed by your company doing that, they
say it's AI, but yeah, I guess it is AI.
They say it's monitored in America, which is kind of incredible.
You are there to have a staff in America to
monitor it. I'm sure it's probably subject out to some

(02:12:32):
other country. So yes, that's something we have talked about tonight. Also,
but get in touch and tariffs and the nuclear power
station on the Moon, so that's something else you might
want to talk about tonight. What do I say you
cook an abrasier? What was that dish? I was mentioning earlier.

(02:12:53):
I might it's a good word that I might need
to go back to that people. What has cooked an abrasier?
Do come through? If you want to talk, as I say,
Marcus till twelve, do to do? Was that Moroccan dish?

(02:13:13):
I was mentioning that I'll find the name for it anyway.
Twenty three past eleven, Marcus, with a talk of AI
revolutioning our society in the near future, the impossible become possible.
Bases on the Moon, including nuclear may or not be
so far fetched. Also bases on Mars. I've very much
doubt it, Marcus. You spoke about treasurel before. Who do

(02:13:41):
you think would do best or stay in the longest
of the z B team. I've got no idea, no
idea at all, no idea I would even like to speculate.

(02:14:05):
Get myself in a world of trouble.

Speaker 3 (02:14:06):
Were they.

Speaker 2 (02:14:09):
Esoteric? Question like that, Marcus. Lots of earthquakes around Wellington,
I don't think there have been that many. Have There
lots of earthquakes around Gisbon and Hawk's baith at. Wellington's
been quite let off. And by the way, I don't
encourage people to come through with studio science about predicting
quakes because I think that's just fear mongering. I think

(02:14:33):
it's also frightening for those people of christ Tips that
went through that quake twenty five past eleven lines free
looking forward to hearing from you tonight. I'm just checking
the temperature around the country, like it seems very free
cold tonight. So I don't know if you've got a
thermometer in your place, let me know what how low
it's got. Let me just have a look around, A
quick look around the weather app one degree is in

(02:14:53):
the Cargols. So what it's going to be like in
Central Otago. Oh no, it's all about one. I think
it gets cooler later on tonight. I think it gets
down to the zeros. I'm looking at middle March. Ye,
So it seems like Invicaid was the coldest of a
lot tonight, but it's been extraordinary weather. It feels like spring,

(02:15:14):
but very cold at the night. But get in touch
of you on if there's something I want to mention
tonight too. There wasn't exactly a one topic night tonight,
but that's fine. I can cope with that. If you
got something to say before the end of the show
that I'd love to hear from you. I'm not entirely
sure what you want to go on about tonight, but
do get in touch. It might be some other topic

(02:15:35):
you want to bring to our attention. But yeah, I'm
very excited about the opening of the and I think
it's called in the city loop because it's not actually
a loop that happens up there with the trains in Auckland.
But if you want to mention that the way the
plan for where the lines are going to go. So
what it means is you'll know the train system. So

(02:15:57):
in the past, if you came in from West Auckland,
you would go into the Newmarket station and you would
stop there and the driver would go from the front
to the back and get into the other end of
the train and you do a bit of a dog

(02:16:17):
leg or a bit of a unnecessary bit for swap
the driver. Well, that won't happen now. To come from
we Stalk and to go to the inner city would
be seamless. You just come and you turn off at
the Mungapo station which is Mount Eden, and then go
kind of in a clockwise direction around into Britain Art
which is now called White to Mata and then go

(02:16:37):
along the waterfront or our key across to Pama and
then down to Sylvia parking down south. So yeah, it's
quite exciting. That's the way it's going to happen anyway,
so it'll be much much more seamless. So quite excited
by it. Hoping opening sometime next year, hopefully early, but

(02:16:59):
hopefully it's going to be opening and it's good to go.
They've done all the testing, so yes, that might be
something you can talk about. Anyway, come through if you
want to talk you good evening. Leave This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:17:15):
Yeah, hi Marcus, good evening, and listen Marcus. Just listen
to your program. But it's getting cold these nights, as
you pointed out, and that that I want to know
where if you could listen us if you don't know,
could you put it out to your listeners. Where I
could get Where could I buy a bella clava from?

Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (02:17:38):
You know what a bella clover is? Yes, yeah, that's good.
I just didn't know whether I was pronouncing it right.
But we used to have them when we were kids,
you know. But on eighty on.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
Now I'm worried that you're so cold you're going to
wear a bella clove and a bed. Have you got
a heating in your room?

Speaker 7 (02:17:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (02:17:56):
I have, but it's.

Speaker 7 (02:18:00):
It's on its own thing and it just heats up
the room when it gets the cooler and then goes
back on, you know, but it can't be set right.
I've got a big poof storyed house and I sweep
down steas could have warmer. I don't boy the garn
upstairs now now that the White Guide four years ago,
So yeah, you idea. It's just if I'm going out

(02:18:21):
in the wind and oh, I.

Speaker 2 (02:18:23):
Thought you're going to sleep in the beller clavi and
is it not right?

Speaker 4 (02:18:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:18:27):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:18:27):
You see, I've got cattle here on the I've got
fifteen acres here and I've got cattle and sheep on
the farm and I'm moving them around every second, third day,
depending on how much feet they've got in the paddix.

Speaker 16 (02:18:40):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:18:41):
Yeah, how is the grass? Is there plenty there?

Speaker 7 (02:18:44):
Yeah, there's plenty of grass. Yes. Here we had a
lot of rain, you see, and even though it's being cold,
the grass is school growing.

Speaker 2 (02:18:51):
So you're going to wear the beller clav when you're
moving the stock. People think you're a wrestler.

Speaker 7 (02:18:56):
People went in and see me.

Speaker 2 (02:18:58):
Well, why not just because your camouflage?

Speaker 7 (02:19:02):
No, no, no, because all the roadside? How can I
put it? Burkers Roade. I live on Burkers Roy and
you'll find that there's only five times on Burkers Road
and we've all got hedges along each side of each farm,
you know, and that's to keep the cold winds out

(02:19:22):
and everything. And it's just the way that I bought.

Speaker 2 (02:19:26):
Where do you think you get a bella clava?

Speaker 7 (02:19:31):
I don't know. I've been. I've been twice to these.
Watch the name shops that have gotten in Christries. For
here there's two of them, o shops. But the woman
are there and that some of them are elderly. But
they still couldn't work out what I was talking about.
They didn't know what a bella clava was really yeah,

(02:19:51):
like I was getting the stage where I thought I
was pronunciating it the right.

Speaker 2 (02:19:55):
Perfect perfect bella clava. Yeah, I reckon, I'll google it quickly.
I thought, I still have armyp surpers shops.

Speaker 7 (02:20:05):
Yeah, I hadn't been to the only one. But like
I said, I've been to the two op shops.

Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
Yeah, they're not good people. An Army ENGI I don't
know you lived there?

Speaker 7 (02:20:14):
No, Well, I've never heard of one here. How they
would have been there.

Speaker 2 (02:20:17):
Well, there's always Army Superlus, there's always Wilson's.

Speaker 7 (02:20:21):

been in the army. Actually, when it comes to my
turn to go into the army, I was born on
the sixth of January in nineteen forty five. But they
come up to my turn and and they took a
group of boys my age that were they took the

(02:20:57):

Speaker 2 (02:22:42):
Take your license off you the day?

Speaker 7 (02:22:44):
No, no, no they didn't.

Speaker 2 (02:22:46):

Speaker 7 (02:22:49):
I've got rid of all them. Yeah, years and years
ago here, okay, I got I used to go down
y Mady down there and put over in mind. Why

the Mountain Warehouse Marino twenty two ninety nine. That's a
bit cheaper, you know, Torpedo seven it does the Yeah,

Speaker 2 (02:23:33):
Think torpedo See we're gone broke, have they.

Speaker 18 (02:23:36):
No, they've got someone new I don't know looking after them,
and they've got sort of fancier line of clothes or

looking Yeah, it's looking sharper there. It's got all sorts
of more upmarket stuff. You know anyway, So there you
go Mountain Warehouse.

Speaker 2 (02:23:58):
Oh well, I think hunting fishing has got a pretty
good range of them.

Speaker 18 (02:24:03):

Thanks Juliet, appreciate it. Twenty five to twelve Bella Clava.

Speaker 15 (02:24:19):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (02:24:19):
It's got that out of the way anyway, get in touch.
My name is Marcus, Welcome, Bella Claver's. That could be
the topic that saves us tonight, that we'd all talk
about Bala Claver's. But you get in touch. Head on midnight.
My name is Marcus welcome. Oh we eight one hundred

(02:24:42):
eighty ten eighty and nine nine to text. Let's be
hearing from your people. We can buy a Bella Clava.
I don't call again, dev Jeepers Micaus. I think the
Army store is called Army Disposed. On Kenaway Drive, Marcus,

(02:25:08):
tell the guy to try Whift. They make the best.
Will Knit Wear have a factory shop and Christ jdge
Weft w ef T Whift. You're writing this down, nev,
I'm only doing this once. Whift w ef T wft
It in company. They're out all Bell Street. I think

(02:25:38):
it looks like very fine nit. Where do you get
in touch? By name is Marcus good Evening hunting and
fishing for the balaclav the Army service stall in Woolston.
The warehouse have Ballet Clava's four dollars. Especially about their
zoo story. They are asking for healthy pets, which makes
it you know, I wonder why someone wouldn't want a

(02:25:58):
healthy pet to feed to a zoo. But yeah, I
know I can sound sort of slightly boring about zoos,
but I do think in the not too distant future,
and by that I think probably twenty years, zoos will
be a thing of the past. And that's fine. They've

(02:26:22):
done their course. We can see animals in the wild
on videos. I think there's a lot of zoo practices
with feeding animals to other animals than things that probably
are pretty bad. And I also think they've talked up
their conservation status to make out that they are an

(02:26:47):
essential thing. But I don't think the animals and the
zoos are any use in the wild. I think they're
probably not one that you could reintroduce, So yeah, I think, yeah,
that's just my thoughts. I think probably in a not
too distant future, zoos will pivot to something else, and
that's not necessarily a bad thing, I don't think. But yeah,
then at least the are honest about it. But yes,

(02:27:09):
I won't even read some of the details in the
article because even I'm not an and well, I like animals,
but I'm not sort of an overly emotional person of animals.
But even I thought some of the details about how
they feed the animals were slightly disturbing, So I won't
do that for you. But yeah, look, I'm just about
to go, people, but if you want to come through
before the end of the show, we'd love to hear
from you. Get in touch Balaclava's. I'm sure I'll have

(02:27:37):
one in my drawer. I could probably send you. But
I did get a hold of a kit and Cabertle
when I went to Antarctica, like Balaclava's and stuff, which
I have really got any use for. I have a
look at that weird sock draw where all things end
up until what I can find. I don't really know.
I don't really know why you'd want to Balaclava when
you're going around your farm there and me it wouldn't

(02:27:58):
be that cold in the head, would it? Don't ring
me back by the way anyway, get in touch by
names Marcus HITDLL twelve. Come on if you want to
be the fine flurry here till twelve tonight. Tim's along
at midnight, and yeah, I'm here until the end. So
if you do want to talk, that would be great
to hear from you, particularly about exports of wine to

(02:28:19):
America and Grimace from McDonald's now that we know he's
a giant taste Bud the brazier that you can now
get at Spotlight. I thought that was pretty interesting. Only
cost you sixty bucks you wanted any of the stickers.

(02:28:41):
I report back on that too, people. But anything else
you want to talk about, as I say it to me,
to the end, I'd love to hear from you. I
don't really want to talk right till twelve o'clock, so
if you want to come through, would love that. The weather,
tomriw is looking pretty good for everyone for what I
can see, and that's a good thing. But down south
those beautiful, still clear nights, let me have a look

(02:29:01):
what it's like for the rest of the country. I
think it's looking pretty good everywhere. Tomorrow from what I
can see to the North Island. But there you go anyway. Now,
let me think there's one other thing I could tell you. Yeah,

(02:29:22):
a new curreactor on the moon. Got no idea why
that's a good idea I've got Actually, I've got no
idea why. It's not why it is an idea. It
seems just something done to wind people up and get
them stop discussing epstone or something. But that's that, that's

(02:29:42):
what's happening. Tell you what, how would you even get
the uranium up into space without blowing up? Had incredibly
dangerous stuff to carry, you would think. But I can't
imagine there's going to be uranium on the moon to mine?

Speaker 21 (02:29:57):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (02:29:58):
I wouldn't expect that.

Speaker 21 (02:30:05):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:30:05):
Get into My name is Marcus? Welcome? He to the end.
You want to be a lifesaver before I go home
into the night. Would be good to hear from you.
And if there's something different you want to mention, I
don't have a problem with that on this cold night,
make the effort. Get out of bed. Hi there, Marcus.

(02:30:28):
I never actually had a life pass for skiing, but
I used to get a season pass years ago, and
as far as I'm aware the money from the life
passes and the money from the season passes was spent
on the infrastructure to get all up and running on
the original days. Cheers from Shane, Thank you Shane. Nice
to hear from you. More people saying hunting and fishing

(02:30:51):
for the balaklava or from macpack fleece and nice and
warm ski shops will have balat Clavis from Jan Catman
do has balat Clavis. Thanks for that. Cat Man Do
would be the second most favorite after hunting and fishing.

(02:31:13):
There we go, So that's happening as well. Marcus. There
used to be a zoo in Franklin, South Auckland, and
one day we were there and they warned us they
were going to feed the lions. It was a frozen
horseheads cut in half. It's a reality, but it did
give us a bit of a shock. Yes, that's the
zoo where they are fed. The know whether zoo owner

(02:31:39):
got crushed by the elephant. Remember that. Then the elephant
got set to a sanctuary in the United States. And
I presume it's still alive. What's the name of the elephant?
And I wonder if it is still alive. I'll do
a quick research on that when I'm after work tonight.
It was in Tuco, wasn't it. I think, yeah, remember

(02:32:04):
that the Franklin Zoo. What was the name of the elephant.
There's a quick quick question for you. I was twenty twelve.
Was a long time ago. What seems like a long
time ago now it was thirteen years ago. Miela, Miela
was the elephant, and I think she went. I don't

(02:32:24):
know if she's still alive. I'll have a quick lock.
She did go to a century and I don't know
how she got there. Oh no, she died. A former
circus elephant from New Zealand has died in San Diego
is at the age of forty four. She was formerly
known as Jumbo. I think when she's in the Whirlings

(02:32:46):
Brothers circus. Spent thirty years traveling around New Zealand. I
don't know forty four. As I got her a bad
age for an elephant. I thought she'd gone to a sanctuary.
Maybe San Diego Zoo was a sanctuary. But yeah, it
was the two of the country for thirty years. The

(02:33:06):
elephant was a big deal anyway. I don't think we've
got any elephants and oh, I think they might be
someone awkwing to anyway, Now let me think of the texts.
The new player Mountain Warehouse probably has belly clubs. I'm
not quite sure about Mountain. Where are they a new
new player? Are they just sort of a cynical kind
of undercutter, quite weird? Doubt where they fit into the

(02:33:27):
scheme of things. By the way, if you want to
get into the line business, the Lion park and fung
and A's for sale, the one that the Lion Man had. Boy,
that's the Jinx place, hasn't it boy? The amount of
tragedy and intrigue that's happened there, flip all sorts of troubles.

(02:33:49):
Now that's it for me, people, I'll be back tomorrow night.
Tim's long after me to talk to you till five
in the morning. Good on him. I'll return tomorrow night
with some new topics, hopefully to get you excited. And
if you want to email me Marcus at Newstalk z'b
dot co dot NZAD and you hope you enjoy your

(02:34:10):
Wednesday feels like Thursday though, doesn't it. But Ye're back
back tomorrow night, but do email me if you want
to be just realized I get those emails until I
turn up to work. I'm not like give them the
middle of the night. It's not something I can access
from home. Why would you want to if you want
to be first in the pipe for Tim, give him

(02:34:31):
a call now. I'm not sure what he'll be talking about,
but he'll make an interesting no doubt. So he'll be
along next And as far as the last four hours goes,
no earthquakes, no breaking news apart from the fact that
Trump and Murdock have kind of pushed pause on their
legal sewing of each other over the publishing the proposed

(02:34:55):
publishing of Trump's story for Epstein. Make of that what
you will. There will be something more to that that
we will never probably ever hear about. Anyway, Thanks for
the cause, and thanks for listening, and I'll catch you
again tomorrow night from eight pm. Good Night.
