Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News
Talks at be.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Greetings. Welcome here'll twelve. My name is Marcus Hope. It's
good where you are. Get in touch? Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine nine two to text, I
hope it's good where you are? You I am in
my reflected jacket. Nothing could go wrong anyway. Do get
in touch? You want to partake in the show Tuesday?
What sort of show do we do on a Tuesday?

(00:36):
Like it, but like Monday, but a bit this Monday. Ssh.
I would have mentioned Hey, just firstly, right, So what
I wouldn't mind to talk about at the very beginning
is the situation? Is that better Dan, because it's the
levels of the right place. So New Zealander is doing
very well on the Voice, and it's a woman called

(00:58):
Cassie Henderson and she's blown away the panel of celebrity
judges at the audition. Now, this is going to sound
like a stupid question, but if I'm thinking others will
be wondering it. I've never watched the Voice. However, sometimes

(01:22):
on my social feedia media feed, there will become clips
from the Voice and they'll show someone playing, and with
great excitement people push a button and spin round. One
of them is often Ronanne keating. You say it best

(01:44):
when you say nothing at all? Is that them? Is
that boys doon't? Anyway? Could someone explain to me what
is the point of that game show? Is the fact
that they see people singing and they turn around to
see if they're attractive? Could someone explain to me what
the whole point of the spinning jers is. I've looked
at that and I've thought, what the heck is going
on there? Why do they spin? What does that add?

(02:07):
Is it like they're looking for a Susan Boyle type moment?
Are they looking for someone that doesn't look like the
sound or they're looking for something that does like the sound?
I really don't understand it. This is actually quite a
genuine question for me. If someone could answer that, that
would be great. Why do they spin around? And what's
the point of that show? I don't want it to
mean the town would mean anything of it, but genuinely
I don't understand what it's about. It's the voice and

(02:29):
there's four people in Giant cheese and they push a
button and spin around and look at the person that's singing. Yeah,
so it's a revery genuine question for me, and we've
got to answer this before I can move on with
the other stuff, because it seems to me that it's
based on a weird premise. I'm not quite sure if

(02:51):
they're looking for someone with rock star looks or quite
what it is. So, yes, if you can tell me
more about that, that would be of interest to me.
This is the voice when they spin around often Ronanne Keating,
I think often male Sea as well. Is she one
of the spies skills? I think so? And then once
we've got that sort out, we can move on to
the other topics. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty,

(03:13):
this is a phone and one, not a text one.
If you explain to me how it works, because then
I think probably I can enjoy the show more, or
the slippets of it that I see. Why do they spin?
What's the point is it to see that there? Yeah,
even to explain it is complicated for me, well, to

(03:37):
not explain because I haven't seen it. So yes, worst, First,
what have we got Dan? Who do I go with?
Peter Marcus? Welcome, Peter?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Are the car?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Are you there? Peter?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
What's the story, Peter, what's that? Can explain it to me?

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Well, I think it's that it goes both ways, so
it takes out the bias. So if you've got if
you've got things like American Idol and and things. If
if they're good looking but they can't sing amazing, they're
more likely to get through. If they don't look so
good but can sing better than that, then they tend

(04:24):
to not get through.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It's a good thing, I think so. And so by
the time they've pushed the button, they've already chosen that
person to go through. Is that right?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (04:37):
And that whoever whoever presses their button. If there's only one,
then the contestant is on their team. As if there's
two or three that turn around, then the contestant can
choose whose team they're are.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's kind of obviously been round for all. It must
be quite a good format, is it.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Well, it seems to be. It's been around for a
few years.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Okay. I felt very laid off the cable. That's what
I've never managed to understand it. Do its Marcus good
evening market good?

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Thank you do well with music.

Speaker 8 (05:12):
You don't want to look at the person. You want
to hear the notes and what they're singing. If you're
looking at someone, you might get distracted. They're actually just
really concentrating on these things, and then if they really
like it, they'll push the buttons.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, yeah, because often with the expressions on their face
when they spin around, they're pleasantly surprised. What's that all about?

Speaker 9 (05:36):
Well?

Speaker 8 (05:36):
I think they go, oh my gosh, that kid's only fifteen.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh okay, so this a surprise about their age and
about how slight they might be with big voice and
stuff like that.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
Okay, yeah, yeah, But if you see the judges, they're
kind of just really concentrating on the voice and the
range and the tone and if they can go high
or loose, and then once they are happy with that,
they might.

Speaker 10 (05:59):
Push the button.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
So are the one is people that go on and
have good careers.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
Yeah, that's where s guy Sebastian came from.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
You see thought he came from. I thought he came
from Australian idol.

Speaker 8 (06:13):
Oh yes he did, yes, sir, Yeah, And I.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Always remember guys the best because he always he was
always nice to his younger brother and sister and always
came across as extremely sincere. Even from day one, he
seemed to be the world's loveliest guy.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
Yeah he's a nice guy, isn't here really really nice?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
In fact?

Speaker 11 (06:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, that's good, d thank you. I'll just get one
more about this. I think that's kind of almost explained.
I don't know who the biggest winner on the Voice
has been. They should have the Voice versus the X
versus American idol. Oh oh, wad Gary, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 10 (06:50):
Hey mate, I'll take it from a different perspecto for you,
the singer. So the singer gets up there, gives it
a nudge engineer at a pub in everyone's mind, in
their own business, drinking and all facing the.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Good notes.

Speaker 10 (07:04):
It's like wha, hang on a minute, they turn around
and start listening to you. There you go, different aspectives.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And it might make it easier for the singer as well,
with everyone not watching them. It might be a more
relaxed occasion for them.

Speaker 10 (07:15):
Do you think, yes, that's right as well? Absolutely yes,
good explanations.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I feel about the wiser about that. Okay, what a
great show. There you go, I got that one sorted
out the Voice? How many years too? Late, am I
Dan am? I ten years too late? On the Voice? Oh,
season twenty seven? It hasn't gone for twenty seven years?
Has It must be two a year? So who was

(07:41):
the win of season four?

Speaker 12 (07:46):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Daniel Bradbury, popular country singer, Marcus. The name of the
show gives it away. It's called the voice, not the look.
Each judge decides if they like what they hear. Cassie
Henderson was a young singer. She was big when she
was fourteen years in them and got trolled on social
videos that gave it up. That's from Grant. Yes, I've
read her article on the ODT, the oddity online people

(08:07):
you seem to seem for good Marcus. I think they
do that to remove any bias towards the contestants. They
do a blind audition and turn if they'd like to
be open to accepting them into the team for coaching.
They have so many singers each and their team the
blind auditions, so they're not judging them on what they
look like. Here we go. But I've always thought when

(08:29):
they sort of see, yeah, okay, I think I've probably
got the What's that I've got the wrong end of
the stick on the I'm just looking at the list
of winners now and who's been the most I mean,
who doesn't love a quiz, who doesn't love a talent quest?
The people that have won the Voice ares follows. I
won't go through them all. I'm just looking for the
most successful. I might have clicked on the wrong thing

(08:53):
that you've sent me most successful winners list. That's good. Please,
I've covered this off our Danie. It's Danielle bread Wish.
He's a white woman like this looks free, familiar. It's
got to shut down some everything's open and my attachments

(09:16):
are very lazy tonight. Oh wait, one hundred at Teddy
and nine text. I feel like I'm needing a reboot.
My reflected jacket's not helping anyway. Do get in touch
if you want to talk. Cassody, it's a funny name,
Cassidy Pope Jordan's. I'm not recognizing them anyway, and I

(09:42):
think these are mainly the American winners. Get in touch.
You want to be part of the show. Thanks for
all the text. Here's another question for you, right Gosh,
I'm big on my questions. So there's a lot of
interest in people lining up to buy the Kadrona pub
if you don't know that one, that is the one
that used to be on the Spates ads and it's very,

(10:03):
very famous, and it's on the Kadrona Road between Queen
Down and Warnica and always busy, always successful, whether it
be a nice summer day, still light at eleven o'clock
at night, or a nice winter day gathered around the
fire with a flavored mulled wine or something. I think

(10:25):
that's what they're into, or a jager mister would it be?
But it looks like there's been. It's for sale and
it sparked interest from as far as the US, I
should say as far as from the UK because it's
further away. It's one hundred and sixty two years old

(10:48):
and it's on the market. So the question I've got
for you, if you could own any pub in New
Zealand and run it, which would be your dream pub
to own and run? Bearing in mind, I'm sure it's
a lot of people's fantasies to own and run a pub,
but it's one probably tire of quite quickly. But there's
a question for you, if you could own one, what
would it be? Probably be the Crown right it'd probably

(11:09):
be the Crown. It would probably be the controna hotel,
would it? Very quick? Think about that and give me
a holler on that one. What I like about it
is it doesn't look plumb. It looks like the foundations
have gone and it's wobbly, which I like. I like
that stuck with it as one hundred and sixty three
years old. Our own Kayley Bell was on the Voice
twenty twenty two. Yes, it's funny because it seemed like

(11:34):
such a contrivance, but it's obviously worked as a TV series.
It's been around forever.

Speaker 13 (11:40):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'll tell you what I had for dinner tonight, A Lamburger.
And I only say that because for a long time,
a lamburger was a thing of ridicule, because Mike Moore
decided that was our future as a country, to make lamburgers. Gosh,
it was good. I know that McDonald's brought in lamburger

(12:01):
is not that successfully, but gee, it actually seems sort
of less green see and better than most burgers should
cook at home, just quietly. And the kids loved it
as well, so there's a bonus. What's that about? Why
did they just disappear? The Lamburgers and they're nowhere, and

(12:25):
I think Mike Moore was right. We probably could have
conquered the world with those, but no we didn't. Pubs
and Burgers for now anyway, are nineteen past eight, looking
forward to your input here till twelve and the voice.
We need a new Zealand version. I guess there's always time.
Never say never. I said that Reality TV is coming back.

(12:48):
There's going to be another celebrity Treasure Island. It's what
we need, it's exactly what we need. Get in touch
you on to be part of the show heit til twelve.
My name is Marcus Good. Evening there's breaking news. I'll
bring that to you. Let's hope there is some makes
the not exciting bringing you the news as it happens.

(13:10):
So yes, by the way to you people in North Canterbury.
There's going to be a toll on the road, the
wood Inn Bypass. So it's mainly vehicles, recreational vehicles, personal cars.
It's not heavy trucks. It's going to be two dollars
fifty for a turn trip, which will cost you thirteen

(13:31):
hundred dollars a year for the average workday commuter. They're
also concerned about rat running for people trying to avoid
that road and going wood in Kaiapoi to a Hiwi.
So did you know that? I don't quite know where
the wood d Bypass goes, but it's going to cost you.
And we're in a cost of living crisis. So if

(13:52):
you want to mention that, if you want to be
ideally you'd be furious about that. If you want to
bring up and be furious about that, that would be great.
This is the wood N Bypass, kind of a terrible
name for places at wood N and you come from
Pegasus through past Kaiapoi. Just looking at it now you

(14:17):
know what I thought it'd be ten dollars two fifty
seem quite cheap to me. So if you've got a
comied on that road, if you've experienced, if you're someone
that's going to be affected by is it a good road?
What's happening with it? And if you'd buy one pub,
if you could buy and run one pub, what pub
would you buy and run? You might be one of
those puildings. Oh gee, one day I'd like to run that.

(14:37):
What would it be? Would it be the would it
be the Kadrona Hotel?

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I'm curious to know about that, and also chuck
in the wood End Viaduct. In the wood End Viaduct bypass,
I think we're calling that two dollars fifty each way.
So so I don't know if it's a good road
or a bad road. Actually, every time I've driven there,
it all seems to be roads. All the roads seem new.

(15:04):
It seems to be no shortage of road in that
part of the country. Be a part of it. Get
in touched Marcus till twelve. Anything else you want to
mention too, feel free to come through. Obviously, Marcus made
a choice to make I'd own the Coriglian Tavern. Every
major band, both overseas as well as known Kiwi ones

(15:25):
all play there, and that place fills to overflowing totally
going off. So nap'sod iconic venue, famous far beyond our
sure's car rallies, car cubs, motorbike raise fundraisers, you name it,
they all go there. It's so respected and loved by all. Wow.
Someone says that I'd like to own the two Mile
Bay Sailing Center. Now, I don't know what that is.

(15:48):
There's not much information in that text, no idea what
it is. Oh it's in Topal Oh yep, yeah, never
heard of it. Look like you're out there on the
water with umbrellas and queeler furniture and looks like they've

(16:08):
got a pizza roven. By the looks of things. It
looks good. Gee, it looks good. You're right sort of
on the beat. Gee?

Speaker 14 (16:19):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
How'd they get permission to put that there? It looks
like I thinking they're done Sydney Harbor Chiefs. Is that
New Zealand? How long has that been?

Speaker 15 (16:31):
There?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Looks excellent? Is it recent? Goodness? Well, look at that.
I guess if you say you're sailing club, you're gonna
be close to the water. That's the way around all
sorts of legislation. Get in touch by name is Marcus welcome?
Oh wait one hundred and at to tell you there's

(16:52):
cricket on tonight. It's not us playing on Try and
keep you update. I think there's women's basketballers there. I
saw something about that, Marcus. If you want your phone
Internet to run faster, turn airplane mode on and off.
And they sent me a shot of the friends Joseph

(17:14):
Hotel asbestos towers. Wow, it looks like the whole thing's
being ripped apart. Goodness me, what happened there? Cheapest creepers.
That's not a good looker. So there used to be
a fine hotel there with great stone work. Get in

(17:35):
touch on a partice of the show. My name is
Marcus Hittl, twelve o'clock tonight in midnight, oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. Also checking in the topic of
the wood End Bypass. I don't know why they're bothering
the tolls because at two point fifty is not going
to make much money in a year? Are they there'll be?
My initial concern seems like a very slim amount it

(17:59):
might pay for maintenance. Maybe that's the plan, Marcus, I
want to draw your attention to the high traffic volumes
on the road near wood End. In the strong economic
case for progressing the wood End Bypass. Recent counter show
around twenty one thousand vehicles per day using the section.
If we look to the revenue potential under a tolling model,
even a modest toll of a dollar twenty five would

(18:21):
generate twenty six thousand per day. The sequels ten million
a year and potential revenue. While I'm not necessarily advocating
for tolling. The calculation illustrates a scale of daily use
and the economic value of this transport link. Such figures
reinforce the importance of investing in the bypass to improve safety,

(18:41):
reduced congestion, and future proof the transport network in the region.
Should have been a railway. There you go, I have
said it. Gee, that look does look good. That two
mile pub? You could own one pub? What pub would
your own, even for a month. What's your fantasy pub,
the one that you think, Wow, that's the one I

(19:02):
want to want to own. And the wood End bypass
The thing I don't I'm talking too quickly. The thing
by looking at the map about the wood and bypass
I understand is it looks longer than the existing highway.
I got that right. I'm looking at the map and
it looks longer. I don't think I really understand it

(19:28):
looks it looks like a kink in the road. Desperate
for drink of water. I'm not sure to take the
next caller, have a have a break, Pete pub, You don't,
Pete Marcus, welcome again.

Speaker 16 (19:40):
The markets are good. You might have been there now
we're pongerers.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yes, used to be a railway place. Didn't it the
railway Coponger branch line?

Speaker 16 (19:50):
Nah, I don't think it might might have been well
be for my days.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Hang on on the railway guy.

Speaker 16 (19:58):
Maybe it was. And I don't know their history. It
might might have been years ago. I can't recall it.
But they said that it's called the Coponger Hotel. It's
for sale now because I was born there and you
might have heard of the Dowson Falls up Mount Egmont. Yes,
and it's well know and it's quite funny because when

(20:18):
I was a young lad there we used to get
our half geez from the back. You can see that.
You have a look on the photo. Now it used
to be the bottle store. Now it's turned into a
gaming room and it's commendation. It's quite a very nice Nope.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Do you think we should we should crowd crowdfunded for you?

Speaker 17 (20:41):
Ah?

Speaker 16 (20:41):
Now I'm getting on age now, time on.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
You'd be perfect. You've got the stories to tell, you
could hold the room. You'd be great running a pub.

Speaker 16 (20:50):
Ten or fifteen years back down the track, maybe you
get to my age now. It's a big commitment running
a pub, you know. But it's very nice. I think
the accommodation is reasonably cheap, but there is an opportunity.
It's on you know, it's heading towards open Naki. It's
just sort of like a not a motorway, but it's
quite a good like a secondary motor weight. They're going
to go from Alpham to open Ack. You want to

(21:11):
do the surfing out there. So it's well known part.
It's very tidy inside. The people that spent a whole
lot of money in there probably, I don't know, fifteen
twenty years ago I was the time to move on.
It's got a nice house at the back and everything.
So there's an opportunity for somebody.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I don't think I've ever been to Dorson Falls. It's
quite good up there, is it.

Speaker 16 (21:30):
It's quite nice, well known waterfalls there.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Always find a waterfall quite invigorating.

Speaker 16 (21:40):
But they used to have it really nice. It's called
the Doors and Falls old motel there. The pulled those
of it all down. It was really really nice. But
it's another piece of history gone in New Zealand once again.
You know it's Swiss guy Keith Emerson used to own
it head the Doors and Fall Side. Then he's Swiss
and then he sold that and moved to the Strafford side,

(22:01):
and when he had it was such a he's dead
a farm just up the road from there on the
corner there Dawsal falls and strap open necky road there
and it was such a nice place. And had they
had had beautiful animals on the.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Wall, you know, beautiful animals who have been shot and killed.

Speaker 16 (22:19):
Yeah, I actually I was doing traps. I used I
called an eagle and I actually wrung them up and said,
I got a nice eagle on my trap, poss and
trap and you so long as you don't damage their
head on it. So I actually just managed to year
to do nice so much damage turning end up getting
it a technidermist. And then he when I went Whitney

(22:40):
one day I had a meal there and then I
here my my eagles on the wall.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
That would have made you feel proud with the eagle
stuff there on the wall. How much they want for
the car for the pub?

Speaker 16 (22:50):
I know, Mark, it's nothing there to say.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Poa okay, christ frist On asking I guess nice to
hear from your peak twenty five to nine the pub
you'd own? Someone says the one I only one that
be here? We go if you don't a pub, the
pub you'd own be good for a year, wouldn't it. Marcus?
I'd love to either Bley Hotel near Arthur's past beautiful
and summer, beautiful window chairs, Paul Marcus, the pool we

(23:14):
pubet maybe better, the Stone Public Caries Bay, just past
Port Charmers. There you go, add the wood End bypass.
Anything goes tonight. Now they've sort out what the voice
is about. It's so you judge them on the voice.
It's as simple as it sounds. I can't think work

(23:38):
out what I was thinking. A Texter has said, Eketahuna
pub is awesome. Would love to own it. Among Google
maps looking at it. Sixty five bucks a single room,
that's reasonable, and they've got a Sunday roast. I'm just
looking what vegetables have got with a Sunday roast. Where
they got very old router bugger the old Swedes. But
can't quite get the close up of that. You pretty

(24:00):
much just standing her and run a local pub with
whatever roast, wouldn't you on a Sunday? Beautiful town, isn't it?
Mind you? The shop across the road Dog's empty, looks
like an old mindor ten or something that's got actually
a lot of empty shops on the main street, but
worried about that. Goodness the texts. Get those through wood'sor

(24:29):
Park Hotel just down the road from Randy Toddic College.
It's a churchier. I've got no idea what that means, Marcus.
I think of any pub. If I could have any pub,
we have to do Butler's Reef, and I coulda and
you Plymouth greatful locals close to the beach. They have
bands playing at New Year's Eve? Lot of people. Would
you like to own that? I like to go there.

(24:51):
Christ should be the future. Blah blah blah. We heard
it all. Remember at the end of the day, we
reverted as a type and rebook the classic Kei we
sh hole as I knew they would, complete with massive
urban sprawl and twentieth century problems on steroids. We're as
thick as three planks while parenting best Country blah blah blah,
like some fantasy mentra. I'm sincerely over this place. We're

(25:15):
losing our brightest. Yeah, that's that right. Everyone's going, aren't they?
Twenty five, twenty one, twenty one to nine, Here till twelve,
good text, powerful Chris, it's Marcus. Welcome here.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
Hey, I'd go for the Hurunui Hotel if you look
it up online. It's been for sale for about three
or four years.

Speaker 18 (25:44):
It was cheap.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
It was like it was like eight hundred thousand, wasn't it.
I thought that was quite reasonable.

Speaker 7 (25:50):
Yeah, but now I've just had a look at it
just now before I called you. You can rent it
for three thousand a month plus yr tea.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I could do that. I could make a profit. Depends
how you get the because you get good staff. There's
nowhere nearby, is there. Where would you get the young
people to wait on the tables? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
No, you have to to get you have to get
visitors and put them out the back and the staf
accommodation you have to get.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
You have to get Backpeckers or something. I don't even
know if Backpecker is coming here. It's a beautiful old
stone building.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
Oh absolutely, And it's fantastic for weekends.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
You know, we motorbike rides up through there stop have
a bit of lunch, carry on north for whatever.

Speaker 7 (26:26):
So it'd be good for weekend and summer trade. But
people heading up to the lowest paths to go tramping
or skiing or something like that. But anybody's not picking it.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Up up to Hamna for Ahsak. You're always starving on
the way home and the pizzas there. You got to
You and I should do it together. What stills like?
What skills would you bring? Chris?

Speaker 7 (26:51):
I would bring bar management, relationship management and fine end.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Wow. Well that's what you need, isn't that?

Speaker 7 (26:58):
Some good looking back, some checks and I'll be right.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Wow, there we go. Yeah, that was great. That's a
great thing to say. What do they call that? Restaurants?
Don't they That was the whole thing for a while,
wasn't it? Like Hooters and stuff. I think they've fallen
out of favorite, but now, Chris, I think they're not
quite the But I reckon the North Ken toy folk.
That might go down well for that brilliant.

Speaker 7 (27:23):
Talking, a good roast on the weekends and spuds, but
a solid stuff for those people. Family license.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
That'll be great.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
You went too business with that guy and turned out.
Do I see? That's what is it? Marcus? The best
pub to I would be the Fork and Tap and
Arrow Town. Yes, that goes off. It's really busy. That's
on the corner it's not the New Orleans Hotel, it's
the one further along. They might be owned by British people.

(27:50):
I got that sense last time we were there. You'd
be flat out. Though I think you own a place
like that, you'd spend your whole time trying to get
staff because staff don't hang around, do they. There'd be
the hussle for running of You want a small pubs
who're not battling getting staffed the whole time. That's my take.

(28:12):
I've got zero interested in running a pub. Well. T
running a pub right is you think probably it could
be exciting on a Friday night or New Year's Eve
and it's going off and it's like a scripture haven't written.
But I'm sure most of the time you run a
pub you're listening to the same three guys stories every day.

(28:33):
You're regulars. And if you don't engage with your regulars
and find them interesting, yeah, I don't know how that's
going to go for you. A lot of people going
about the Windsor Park Hotel, I don't know where that is.
They say it's a church. Now, well it's a good
thing to have. Her country pub trouble is you win

(28:56):
your winter weeknights. It's got the sad, lonely farmer at
the bar drowning their sorrows. Well, what's going on the
back of the Urinaria Hotel? A lot of I'm beer
in there. They're funding it in Pine. Doesn't look good.
It all looks like it's been topped. Get in touch,

(29:16):
textile call anything goes Hitle twelve evening meant this is Marcus, welcome, goody,
how are you good man?

Speaker 7 (29:23):
Thank you excellent?

Speaker 12 (29:26):
Speaking of pubs, you'd want to buy I'd love to
buy the pub and prong here it's the five Staggs
that's been vacant for quite a while. Now, that's such
a well, it was such an awesome pub. It's just yeah,
such a waste.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Well, what's what's the big story?

Speaker 12 (29:45):
Well, people had it and lady was in partnership with
another guy and he was the majority of the money.
She couldn't afford to buy him out, so he sold
it and another woman got ahold of it and they

(30:05):
got done for like a license.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Rank okay, And it's something happened. So it's probably without
a license now, is it.

Speaker 12 (30:16):
Yes, Yeah, it would be. But I'm sure if someone
else waded and moved like it's part of the Five
Stags franchise, and.

Speaker 15 (30:24):
Cambridge didn't even know.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I didn't even know that, didn't even know that fire.
I googled five Stags, I saw there was Is it
a new building, No, it's an it's it looks like
an old post office, it looks like a Okay.

Speaker 12 (30:38):
Yeah, the pub's been there forever pretty well, and like
I said, and then jumped into the five Stars sort
of franchise, I suppose you'd call it, and yeah, it's
has never been, never been the same since.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
And who would you who would your market be? Would
be enough people prong to support it with people coming
across from the from Hamilton, Uh yeah.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
And winter time like that prong Yar Road as a
as a back road to the low, so the skip
builds and that. So in winter time the people's call you.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Do well, you do well? The meal for the people
coming back from a weekend skiing something like that.

Speaker 12 (31:16):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, just any here long weekends, hotidays, and
you know, there's not really much in the way of
pubs around that area, so that's either going to Tiermuda
or Hamilton or Cambridge or something of the like. So
when when I was going place us to hunt.

Speaker 16 (31:32):
It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
How long has it been closed for? Just a couple
of years?

Speaker 18 (31:35):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (31:36):
No, would has to be by now. Man, it's dragged Yeah,
it's dragged on.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
You know, I know now because we stopped that. But yeah, okay, yeah,
I appreciate you coming through Mad. That's a good story.
Thank you. It's a pretty little town but far in
land for me, but yeah, it is a it's a
big commun town. A lot of people who drove through there.
When we went to Woemad, we drove down that way,
stopped that bakery just up from there. Well what happened
to the bakery? Kid didn't like a sausage roll or

(32:03):
something with summer issue. I think you got four He
steered into a sausage roll and it wasn't what he wanted.
Panic ordered, you know, the way wasn't good. I think
we resolved it. I think the sausage roll went half
eaten or something like that. One of those typical stories. Anyway,
how you're going people, what's happening, what's hanging out there?

(32:25):
And listen Land get in touch. If you've got to
be a part of the show, Hit til twelve. If
you know any pub. What pub would you own? Nightcaps
Pub currently up for sale to town in Southland where
the train used to go recently Mothball where you could
probably just buy the railway track as well. As long

(32:48):
as I've been in Southland, the Nightcaps Pub has had
a number of different lives. No shortage of pubs for
sale and Southland, it seems though, people last about two
years and a lot of people coming with great kind
of ideas. Oh yes, brothers returning from overseas always wanted

(33:11):
to run a pub. But I think probably running rubber
hits the road. It's probably harder than you would think.
I'm sure there's a lot of bills and expenses and
hard way to make money. Marcus the Buckhorn bar and
grilled cartertan. Hey, what's the bet one hundred years we're

(33:34):
going to be talking about boy races or ten years? Certainly,
in no way is the governm going to resolve that one. Marcus.
I'd like to earn the Duke of Marlbouro and Russell,
if only to take pleasure in banning Winston Peters. Quite good.
It's a great day for sport when an influencer is

(33:54):
written into the America's Cup protocol. Let's have an influencer,
have an Formula one drive referee the Super Bowl, and
swim the Olympics. Yes, I thought that was strange that
they felt that this is the sixth chair on your boat.
You've got to have a chair for an influencer, for
goodness sake, if there was, if there wasn't enough to
dislike about the America's Cup, now they have a seat

(34:16):
for an owner or an influencer. Cheapest creepers. Could I
name an influencer? Dan? Could I name an influencer? Yeah,
I'm trying to think who is the influencer that people know.
I was gonna say last thing, one who was watching
the America's Cup with such and such, And I can't

(34:37):
think of one who had been using the most important influences.
They come and go, don't they? What happened to influence?
They're always trying to take some selfie off a cliff
and they normally fall, don't they, or some extreme shot.
There's always stories about influencers falling to their death. I
was trying to think of us. I really can't think

(34:57):
of using an influencer. I'm not really in that realm
of looking at influencers or Instagram or TikTok, But I
think influencers basically what they do is they spend their
whole line life getting things for free in addition to
talk about it, which always strikes me as an undignified
way to make a crust. But now they're going to

(35:19):
blag their way onto the America's cupboats. Goodness. Someone said,
if ever there was a town name that's perfect for
having a local pub, it's got to be Nightcaps. You're
right there. For those that don't know why it's called Nightcaps.
And I'm sorry to sound like I'm gonna know all
about this, but I did actually do some well. I

(35:40):
suspect it's called Nightcaps because it's in front of the
Takatimu mountains that look like when the covenants know it
looks like sort of the hats that like Wee Willie
Winky would wear. Yes, I'm saying that doesn't make much sense,
does it, But anyway, that might be whit. It's called Nightcaps,

(36:01):
but your pub. Yeah, I spent a night staying that
bubb there. The only guy that the other only guy,
the other guy at the pub was a guy that
got too got too drunk at the local away game
for the squash tournament. I think he was from a toda.

(36:21):
He had to spend the night, so he was sor
at the bar, drinking.

Speaker 9 (36:26):
In his.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
And his squatch gear. Looked look like look like they're
setting for a fresh up advertisement with him there in
his with his headband and his wristbands drinking at the
bar and his record too drunk to take home. Anyway,
that's that's spice tail from the Nightcaps pub and they

(36:49):
left the next morning. Anyway. That's yeah, I did ask,
but I mean, if you want to if you want
to own a pub, you own the could. It would
be a fantastic pub to own, but you need to
have an extraordinary supply of staff on hand and somewhere
for them to live, because I'm sure it's not cheap

(37:10):
to find places for your staff to live in Warnaka
or Queenstown cost a fortune. There might be some building
there for them. I don't know that there is. Well,
that was a fun hour, and it's say iverything. Do
it better for the next hour, always improving. I'm still
very excited about Josh Marcus. Welcome. You got forty seconds?

(37:30):
Do you want fifty seconds?

Speaker 5 (37:32):
It's street?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, did you want to talk at the nightcaps nightcaps? Yeah, yeah, yep,
what did you want to say?

Speaker 19 (37:42):
I was just wondering if they call it nightcaps because
at nighttime all you can.

Speaker 10 (37:45):
See is a cap of the snow on top of
the mountains.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Could be that, that could be it as well. I
thought it'd be like the Head where they wore the nightcaps.
But yeah, I'll do some. Maybe someone can call us.
They've got an extremely good ida. There's a Nigerra four square. Yeah,
one of those weird things. I went to the ij
the four square there and I'd order a burger and
they said we were in luck. They just made a

(38:07):
burger for a canceled order. So I ordered a burger.
Had an instant I've never had that before. Happened in
my life. Was like the stars aligned. I red a
toasted sandwich. Actually might forget what it was good for.
Very good but instant, not cold at all, like off
the grill. Greetings, Welcome the people of New Zealand. Here
till twelve o'clock. My name is Marcus. I hope it's

(38:29):
good where you are, but it's not good. I hope
it gets good and by the time I go home
at twelve. Oh yeah, by the way, today, in nineteen
seventy five, which is fifty years ago, John Walker broke
the world record. He went sub four. In fact, he
went sub three point fifty. He went a full ten

(38:54):
seconds less than Roger Bannister had gone when he's cracked
the four minute mile. And I think that this was
big news, and I believe it was on the front
page of the Herald next morning, because I remember, I
think it must have been. I remember very clearly what
a big deal that was. Three nine point eight. Maybe

(39:15):
it was so someone might remember that there was a
very big deal in its day. And the timing is
quite interesting. Of that, I've been reading about that wildly today,
will not wildly it throw.

Speaker 11 (39:30):
On word.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Three forty nine point four Gothenburg, Sweden. Philbert By had
the record at three point fifty one point zer, so
it took over a second off the record. Peterson, now,
I record it was a greater achievement than Roger Bannister's
sub four. And he said Bannis achieved lasting fame when

(39:56):
he went sub four. He'll probably always been better known
that Walker, but this was a far better run. Yeah,
And that set him up for as an athlete. He
won the Sportsman of the Athlete of the Lonsdale Cup
and he won the fifteen hundred the following year. But

(40:17):
of course the fifteen hundred was a compromised Olympics because
so many countries were there because of our sport in
contacts with South Africa. But yeah, big deal. And Gotham,
I don't know. I've always remembered that name Gothenburg because
it sound like Gotham City, didn't it. I don't even
know what Gothenburg's like. But for every New Zealand history,
because that's where he ran that it's a good story. Yeah, Connor,

(40:42):
this is Marcus. Welcome in good evening. Hi Connor.

Speaker 19 (40:46):
Hey, how are you mate?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Good Connor? How are you mate?

Pepinoi High School. Are we Mediterranean?

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Courage? Tonight?

Speaker 2 (41:01):

Speaker 20 (41:05):
The key to that?

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Mate?

Speaker 20 (41:06):
Just lots of love?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, you got it, You'll go far. Tell me did

So many turned up for that.

Speaker 20 (41:20):
Oh yeah, it was actually pretty talking to your.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Well, how many. How many is full? Twelve people?

Speaker 12 (41:26):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (41:26):
No, I do about twenty two people?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Well is this every? Is this like a night school?

Speaker 5 (41:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (41:34):
Yeah, it's one two week on a Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
And who's the who takes it?

Speaker 20 (41:40):
His name's Mark, He's a he's actually an executive shared
so but yeah, has rests an open on a Tuesday.

Speaker 15 (41:47):
So he teaches us.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Follows it's his Is he based in Gore?

Speaker 21 (41:54):
So?

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Where is he based?

Speaker 13 (41:57):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
This is oh I see it is peppernoine not tepan. Okay,
I've got that worked out. Okay, pepperui okay, okay. And
you have to bring your own vegetables or does he
bring everything?

Speaker 20 (42:10):
So basically you say one hundred and sixty bucks yep,
and then you get all sorry, I've just got the
driver cracking me up. Now you're one hundred and sixty
bucks for the term. And then they give you you'd
file your ingredients every week. Once they give you your
ingredients list, and the.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Way you go brilliant and you eat it there?

Speaker 9 (42:33):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Do you eat the meal there?

Speaker 19 (42:36):
Oh, you can do, but we'll.

Speaker 20 (42:37):
Usually take it home because you use your pretty press
the time you've got to be out of your one
tne o'clock.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
And and so what was it? Did you say Mediterranean
stir fry?

Speaker 20 (42:46):
It was a Mediterranean curry?

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Oh okay? Was there a meat in it? Or was
a vegetarian?

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (42:51):
No, no, I have just a bit of checking in
the eyes.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Sounds delicious, what spices beautiful?

Speaker 22 (42:57):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (42:58):
All of them?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Okay?

Speaker 15 (43:01):
Good?

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Ok Conda. What's next week?

Speaker 20 (43:06):
Next week?

Speaker 5 (43:07):
We don't know.

Speaker 20 (43:07):
We get the recipe on a Saturday.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Text me on Monday. I want to know what next
Tuesday is going to be? Night classes. That's good to
know that night classes are still going. Gosh, there is
a god, I mean forever since people have done night classes. Wow,
you see Pepperinuin Tappanui. That was confusing a whole other
Tappanouian jokes. I was going to say, and couldn't use

(43:30):
any of them. The pub you'd like to own, if
you could own a pub, and the wood End bypass.
That's where we are tonight so far, and John Walker
going sub three four nine John will going sub three
fifty three four nine point four probably would have been the

(43:51):
biggest news story of nineteen seventy five. I'm just seeing
what else happened in nineteen seventy five. So that's the topics.
Well there's some of the topics for tonight. And if
you're heading home after a night of night classes, let

(44:12):
me know what you're learning. Would love to hear from you.
I don't know where you be going with night classes,
but yeah, get in touch you on to mention that also.
So yeah, that's us. Mainly it's about the pubs. I've
enjoying that. It'd be a very good reality TV show.

(44:34):
You get some people and get them to run a
pub for a year or a week or a month
to see how they go. You get some influencer and
some broadcaster on the way out and chuck them in
there and see how they go. Make it stressful. You
have difficult customers. You wouldn't need to pretend difficult customers.
Just get real difficult customers and see how they handle it.
Be brilliant. I'd watch it every night on video with

(44:55):
us at work. So there we go. By the way, Australia,
this is how they Africa. I will give you updates
on that tonight this day. In eighteen seventy seven, the
photograph invented by Thomas Edison in eighteen fifty one, the

(45:16):
sewing machine patented. It's Middle Child Day, also in Vinyl
Record Day and World Elephant Day. See what's to be
one of the first radio studios I've walked worked in
where there is not a turntable. Always there was turntables

(45:37):
where he could play records. I don't know why there
isn't one now I miss it. Gordon good evening, Yes,
good evening.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
That would en bypass. Yep. I was very very much
involved in that issue right years ago, yep, and I
didn't think you tour with trains at New Zealand over it,
and they said they would not building on the coast website.
It should have on between the wood In and ring

(46:09):
Your and that road, of course, but they couldn't get
land from the Maori's to do it, so they have
to go on the coach side where they were in
liquifaction and flood protections. That's in the wrong place. Goodness,
it's too late now that's three are going and bring
your can't access to it without crossing Wooden Where was there?

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Where was the moldy land? They couldn't purchase the too
heavy but there they could have gone around that though,
didn't they? These farms built there.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
They could have gone westward around it. It would have
cost more to do the road. But my point is
that you do it once and you'd do it right. Okay,
main would have gone between wood In and.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Rang your gordon. What's the what's the point of this road?

Speaker 5 (47:10):
It's just take the traffic out of wood End?

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Oh, I see? Hang on because State Highway one goes
through wood End. Yes, so to bypass? Why does it
start at Way Cuckoo.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
It'll start the pinemakers and go on the coastward side
of wood End? Yeah, come out by Pegs does it?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Does it go on the coastal side of Pegasus?

Speaker 23 (47:42):
H yes, it.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
Will for a bit, I'll have to put a new
bridge in across the river Jeane. It's unfortunately in the
wrong place. And the CEO of friends in New Zealand
when I do today's trip with them, I agreed with
me it's in the wrong place. However, that's the way

(48:04):
it's going.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
How much time is it going to save for your
two dollars fifty?

Speaker 5 (48:10):
Oh? Well, for main traffic they'll probably use a bypass
instead of going through wood End.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah, So how much time would it be would it's
I mean as much point to it.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
Uh, well, let's take the congestion out of wood End.
I do agree with that, okay, because you've've got schools
here and shopping. Okay, I do agree with taking a
transport out of that main road in wood End. That's
that's correct.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Are you happy to pay the two dollars fifty?

Speaker 5 (48:46):
Well, if the gondn't make it a toll rod, that's
what I'll be.

Speaker 19 (48:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
So are you happy with them?

Speaker 16 (48:52):
Well?

Speaker 5 (48:53):
I don't. I won't be using its elementary retirement village
at the moment.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Oh for how long?

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Oh? I've been there three years, but I was in
the Wimack Council area and I worked a lot with
the count.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Yeah, okay, cheap.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
I'm fully aware of that bypass.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
How do you know how long the do you know
how long the bypasses?

Speaker 19 (49:18):
No?

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Not exactly. No time in Pinemakers and coming up by
Pegasus surround about.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
It doesn't seem that long to me. I'm just trying
to look at it on the map.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
It might not be that much longer than going through
wood End. But wood End is being choked with all
the traffic, and I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Has what Ends suddenly grown a lot?

Speaker 5 (49:51):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (49:51):
It has since the quake.

Speaker 5 (49:53):
What the amount of traffic coming down from Picton the
christ shirt has got to go through a wood end
and that's the amount of traffic that is going through
that one streak in wood End. This caused this problem,
Like quite agree with it, but unfortunately it's in the
wrong place. They're out on the coast, was solid open

(50:16):
to tsunami, their open political faction and plotting coming down
from the Yukola River.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
What river have they got across with the bypass?

Speaker 24 (50:29):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (50:30):
The one that comes through ring Eura?

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Oh yeah, ring one? Yeah, Okay?

Speaker 16 (50:34):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (50:34):
The just can't place the name at the moment. It's
a good question, so don't have to put a new
bridge in that'll cost them with it?

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Is it the I think it's the Ashley River?

Speaker 13 (50:51):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (50:53):
That's it? You didn't right, it's the Ashley River?

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Yeah, or otherwise known as the Rakahuri River, but you'd
know it as the Ashley I think I reckon.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
Not as is correct?

Speaker 2 (51:05):
There we go on your Gordon, thanks for that. Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus, that's a bit
of a chilling, weird, chilling coinstance. I was just looking
up online to buy a turntable every one for years.
I wasn't having too much luck in the beginning. Looking
at record player old school, Marcus, I'm the tutor at
Papa Nui High School. Night class that Connor was talking

(51:25):
about it was Malaysian curry tonight, well, Etha, it was
Mediterranean curry next week is Dumpling's Mark McCrackan adjective. Chef
of my business is combera cuisine. Funny the god that
was a meditary. I thought Mediterranean curry sounded weird. Fusion confusion.

(51:45):
That makes much more sense, Marcus. The wood End bypass
will be brilliant, especially when there's going to be another
thirteenth houses in North Canterbury, particularly the next ten years.
But not looking forward to pay prevelent to town. She's

(52:06):
Andrew Degree Bar, Downtown Viaduct, big money maker in the day, Marcus.
How would you deal with a family who make a
living by setting off their family? How does that work?
It's influencers, Yeah, I don't really understand how influences work.

(52:26):
I think there's even the government sort of paying influences
to visit New Zealand and do things like that. But always,
it always seems sketchy as all get out, doesn't it.
It's always like, really, I think people overstate their clout
or overstate what they think their influence is. I mean,
how would you actually really work it out? And the
wood End viae act and the pub you'd like to

(52:48):
own there are two of the topics going on tonight.
There's every topic in the world tonight if you want
to entertain us with your wisdom. So basically, what this
viaduct is is to get it or the bypasses to
get around wood End. That's why it's called the wood
End Bypass. The clueser in the name tsunamis yeah, goodness,

(53:11):
So talk about that and what happened. How often would
you come across a Lamburger? You know how there's always
these gourmet burger places and Wellington on at Wellington Burger
competitions and that sort of stuff. You wouldn't come across
a Lamburger very often, would you. I think that's a shame.
It's the great New Zealand meat. Trump must be off

(53:33):
to Alaska soon. I keep saying he's going to Russia.
No doubt that will dominate the headlines as he wishes.
Stop people talking about Epstein. It's amazing that shots that
guy sent me off the Friends Joseph Hotel. It was

(53:55):
kind of wrecked by a flood in twenty sixteen and
local youths have smashed the place up and looters have
stripped of the wiring and valuables, and permission demolishes ongoing
or be expended to the aout of asbestos use its construction.
It's to be a huge thing in the day, the Glassieres,
but now of course they've retreated that kind of it.

(54:15):
That doesn't seem to be what it once was. Harris
Farms sell a great lamburger in a two pack in
South Island supermarkets. Is Harris Farms is quite big in
the South Ard, isn't it. Bob Marcus, Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 25 (54:33):
When you were talking about the President of the United
States going to Russia, et cetera, et cetera, my question
is to you, as white as Google I allowed to
put so much jolly Ruddish on their channels because the wars,
Google has been advertising and they've gone to war. They've
done this, They've done that, They've done that. President's going
to do this, and none of it's true. It's just rubbish.
I'm wondering how good we'll.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
Get away with it.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 25 (54:55):
Well, when you said that the president would go to
the United States, president was going to go to Russia,
which is not happening. No, they're having a meeting. They're
having a meeting in Alaska. But I'm sick of Google
putting on a load of rubbish on the channel saying
the American's doing this, start going to war, this country
is going to do this, This country going to do that,

(55:16):
none of us true. Why how do they get away
with it?

Speaker 2 (55:19):
But Bob, when you talk about Google, you're talking about
what's the Google channel?

Speaker 4 (55:24):
Our Facebook?

Speaker 2 (55:26):
I see.

Speaker 25 (55:28):
I'm just wondering how they get away with it all
the time.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Yeah, yeah, I think Facebook's I think Facebook is no
longer of any.

Speaker 25 (55:35):
Use, right, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
But that that Facebook and Google are separate things the way, Bob,
You know that, don't you.

Speaker 25 (55:43):
Yeah, yeah, I go through Google to get to my face.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's perfect. That makes I can understand. I
can see that quite clearly now, So that makes it
all clear. Look, I don't know, I don't know what
that's about. But yeah, and the a lot of things
that I get served on my Facebook feed that are appropriate,
and I say I don't want any more of it,
they give me more. I think they're guest lighting me,

(56:06):
but thanks Bob. By the way, Rickleton's Court, South Africa
thirty four for one seems asough they've swapped uniforms. I'm
not quite sure what's going on with uniforms. You might
have some take from that, Bob, what pub would I
was gonna ask pub, Bob, what pub woul want? If
you don't want pub, what would you own? Bob would
have had a version for that.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
By the way, John Walker's coach when he went sub
three point fifty was called Arch Jelly, and he was
excited because when John Walker rang him because he wasn't
over there because he wouldn't been much money. It was
Arch Jelly's birthday and he was fifty three at the time.

(56:53):
Now what is also interesting is today is also Arch
Jelly's birthday and he is one hundred and three. Pretty
good age in it, and everything I've seen of him,
he seems sprightly and engaged and engaging a bit of

(57:14):
a legend. I think one of the great long distance
sports was always him and Lydia and a couple of
others too, that sort of dominated with our golden era
of track and field. Although this young, this young whipper
snapper Sam, he could go all the way. Also he's quick,

(57:38):
so there's that. Also he went sub four, sub sixteen.
Good evening, Hamish, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 26 (57:46):
You get Marcus. A couple of things, mate, One of
them is you were talking about Lamburghers, so that every
time I hear those two words together, it reminds me
my dad died fourteen year ago. He was, among other things,
quite a good illustrator. I mean, he had a hell
of a good sense to humor. So he did a

(58:08):
cartoon and he sent it to the then minister Mike Moore.
Now Mike Moore was the one that was going on
about Lambergers because they were trying to sell more lamb.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
It's a great idea.

Speaker 26 (58:20):
So yeah, absolutely, and the old man seen him a
picked him next to his car. In the car was
a Lamberg guiney.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Wow, that's good, that's good.

Speaker 21 (58:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (58:37):
Hey listen. The other reason I ran you is a
long while ago when you you had the kids callings yes,
and the kids would yep. So my son Finn rang.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
You remember Finn.

Speaker 26 (58:50):
Yes, now I thought I thought you would remember. So
the thing is this kid who excuse me, almost died
at five within cephalitis and then had to relo and
everything that he had learned from birth and was in
rehab for a long time. He ran you after that, obviously,

(59:15):
but since then, this last year, the athletic year, he
broke nine New Zealand records and he was nominated, didn't win,
but was nominated, which is enough pride anyway, as para
Athlete of the Year for Canterbury and South Canterbury. So

(59:35):
he's had a hell of a good year. So I
just want to let you know he's doing well.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
How odds for now.

Speaker 26 (59:42):
It will be sixteen and overly.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
He's still at school.

Speaker 26 (59:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's at Timmory Boys doing really well.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
So and what word? What were his what were his disciplines?
His events?

Speaker 26 (59:56):
So he was middle distance ironically because we originally came
from he's in tim Maroon now we originally came from
Totonga and Sam Ruth and him in the same class
as wow wow, So it's quite there's a bit of irony.
Yeah yeah, And of course Sam Reuth's doing incredibly well,

(01:00:17):
as you were mentioning before.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
So fin he's still running, that's his disciplines absolutely are.

Speaker 23 (01:00:26):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 26 (01:00:27):
So he was doing middle distance and doing well at it,
but this last year they've had him in sprints, so
he's been doing one hundred and two hundred and four
hundred predominantly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
And just tell me what his encephalitis it is? His
is his? Does it affect his muscle or his coordination?
I mean I just try to get a grasp on
this as well.

Speaker 26 (01:00:51):
No, so if you're a power athlete, you get an
international classification. And he's t thirty eight. I think the
same as Will Steadman actually because we were with World
couple were a few weeks ago at the christ Church
Canbary Sport Awards and he was the one that beat

(01:01:12):
Funny and claimed the prize. But then he's a medal
expect that. But no, he anything that takes kind of
fine moto skills he struggles with other than that. I mean,
you can run like the wind. So and he's doing
really well and everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
So the reason I'm asking is a situation where he's
been through that that that that his body continues to
improve or he always has that.

Speaker 26 (01:01:41):
No, he'll always have that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Okay.

Speaker 26 (01:01:44):
Yeah, Basically what happens is the part of the brain
has stopped, so neurons have to find new pathways. So
it's a whole whole relearning thing. Any but no, he's

(01:02:05):
I just want to let you know that he's doing
well and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
And he's not. He's not. He's not losing his love
of track and field at that age too. People could
go the other way, but he's still passionate about it,
is he?

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Yeah, he is.

Speaker 26 (01:02:16):
Yeah, And I think it's too that he's incredibly empathetic
and it doesn't matter how sort of should I say
disabled somebody is how much of a bad way that
you know, he's with them laughing, joking, great mates, and

(01:02:39):
I think nothing of like one Ratie the other the
last meeting he was that he he walked with an
athlete that couldn't run, you know, So.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
He sounds he sounds like a great kid. How much
he sounds fantastic.

Speaker 26 (01:02:55):
Yeah, he is an actual angel and a real treasure
because you know, we almost lost him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
So and what age was what age.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
Was that at.

Speaker 26 (01:03:11):
Before it five?

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Okay, really appreciate Hamish. Thanks for the update. South Africa's
forty four for two macrom Court as well in the
fifth over twenty away from ten Dick Quax, Rod Dixon,
John Walker brilliant times. I was twelve to fifty years
old running at Mount Smart trained there with them too.
My coach was Sue Hayden who became Sue Goldis year
and using it in his eight hundred record of two
o two for twenty years, one silver, seventy four Olympic Games,

(01:03:35):
Commonworth Games, eight hundred repersents at hockey and one bronze
at cycling age forty two best woman athlete Hess ever had. Yeah,
it's quite extraordinary to go to cycling at forty two Marcus,
the Brown Pub and methven and possibly the Blue Pub
across the road, but not as authentic a bit to
touristy George. I think I spoke to some of the
show who painted the Blue Pub. He's well midnight. If

(01:03:58):
you want to be a part of it. Anything else
that you want to go round with too, feel free
to get in touch people. Always good to get input tonight.
Have I got interesting stories for you?

Speaker 22 (01:04:09):
Know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
You spent a lot of time planting trees Today ground
was a bit wet, but no trouble. That quite enjoyed that.
So yes. By the way, I tell you what, boy,
people are sick in christ Church. Attendances at a christ
Church school are down forty four percent. Didn't they weren't

(01:04:37):
they supposed to introduce kind of things to make the
air at schools better. I wonder how that worked out anyway.
Oh wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine
to de text Deni's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:04:53):
Yes, sir, I'm just referring to you talking about Lamberger,
isn't that I was just looking up for you get
a beautiful Galway Lamburger. I think it's only for lims
of time at your local burger field. Thank you, Lamb Burgers.
It's called wild art. I just looked at that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
If you ever tried one.

Speaker 21 (01:05:15):
Yeah, I have the great burgers burger fuel. They're not
cheap at the beautiful Burgers.

Speaker 9 (01:05:19):
Here for me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
There for me, they're too drippy, there's too much stuff
coming off them.

Speaker 21 (01:05:24):
And the other thing you can get for your homemade
one's just the lovely Angel Bay do Lamb petties.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
What are they got?

Speaker 21 (01:05:31):
Angel Angel Bay Premium burger petties. You get them in
all the supermarkets.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
You ever heard of those?

Speaker 21 (01:05:38):
Yeah, Angel Bay they're very well overnowned. They're the premium ones.
You're not cheap. The lovely burger petties.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Where's Angel Bay?

Speaker 21 (01:05:47):
They also, that's the one at Lisa Carrington was promoting
a world that one of them on TV.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
I should be influence. She's an athlete.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Is angel By actually a place?

Speaker 21 (01:05:57):
No, it's a company supply and all supermarkets.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
But the fact that it's called Angel Bay is like
referring to it. There must be a farm at Angel Bay.
As you see, I'm going with this.

Speaker 21 (01:06:07):
Angle both arms, I think or you never heard of them.
But Burger Fuel was great.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
They do.

Speaker 21 (01:06:13):
I've got one and actually got Lamb and they've got
Venus and Venus and but they're like some Central burgers.
They're not cheap, but they're beautiful burgers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Did you hear Did you hear what I said about
Burger Fuel?

Speaker 21 (01:06:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
What did I say?

Speaker 9 (01:06:27):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:06:27):
They're too dripping?

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
I mean, yeah, it comes down your don't like I
don't I like a burger that you can eat and
then you look at the plate and nothing's dripped off it.

Speaker 21 (01:06:36):
Well, I think you say that because I mean I'm
not a McDonald's man. Sometimes I said to McDonalds when
I've bought burgers, they please, can you hold back on
the sauce? And they've got a heart condition and they
put so much sauce in it that when when you're buying,
the sauce just drips out everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
You don't want that. I reckon I were a fan
of a burger that's just a patty and on the
onion a bit of cheese. That would be it evening berry, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:07:01):
We had a burger bar and pepper and in christ
Church pep yes, And we reached old lamburgers the did you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Own did you own it? Berry?

Speaker 16 (01:07:17):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 22 (01:07:19):
Oh flap now we didn't. We didn't use a petty.
We we used sliced legs of lamb.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
That's what I think. That's what I think. Actually actually
put a slab of lamb off the off the bone
in the burger as the petty. That's the answer, isn't it.

Speaker 22 (01:07:35):
No mos a petty. It's a slice for.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Me instead of the petty. That's what I mean.

Speaker 22 (01:07:40):
Yeah, yeah, the petty, yes, with mint sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
That's that.

Speaker 22 (01:07:45):
Yep, that's the way to go with it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Because it's so tender Lamb. It works like that, it's
not tough to bite through. What was the burger is right?
What was the burger.

Speaker 22 (01:07:53):
Barberry, Pepernui takeaways?

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Well, you called it that. I wonder what you call it?

Speaker 22 (01:08:00):
Well, it had several names. Had Lamburger City where we
had the Lamburgers in February takeaways? Of course? Here did you?

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Did you call it Lamburger City?

Speaker 22 (01:08:13):
That's what you called the burger bar? Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
Did you just do Lamburgers? Did not do others?

Speaker 22 (01:08:17):
No, we did what we did all the other burgers
as well, but we did Lamburgers as a specialty.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
And you called it Lamburger City.

Speaker 22 (01:08:26):
We did, yes well?

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
And was the Lamburger successful?

Speaker 22 (01:08:31):
Very successful? But we solved the shop that they ceased
to make in them?

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
How did they probably.

Speaker 22 (01:08:40):
Priced itself?

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Okay, well lamb should be cheap. Do you remember, Barry,
what year were talking? Did you say the eighties?

Speaker 22 (01:08:48):
Eight five? Roughly?

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Okay? Do you remember how much a Lamburger was at
Lamburger City?

Speaker 22 (01:08:55):

There two bucks and just with mint sauce, and that
was it in the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
The guy got murdered, di didn't he? And they caught
the guys.

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
I think they did. The other one, The other one,
Marcus is I've got three. The other one's just south
of Hamilton. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
What makes it good?

Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Well, it was a go to place for young people
that we're quite of age. As long as you keep
your mouth shut and daved yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
That makes a good taste.

Speaker 9 (01:15:45):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
Yeah, yeah, and uh you know it like that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
It looks a bit unloved stay. Oh yeah, I don't
know if it's still running as I'm looking at Google Maps,
but it might be still there.

Speaker 23 (01:15:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:59):
I've got no idea what the current status is those
places and the third one and five or what? This
is the hub on the Gotten highway.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Oh yeah, Fong Homomeena. That's it's a great building. That one.
It's a great pub. That's a great pub.

Speaker 27 (01:16:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
I remember sitting on the veranda there many years ago,
enjoying the you know, the goings on around.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
We're sit on the veranda there and you're the main
highway highway sixty three and a car comes past, but
every two hours it's wonderful.

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
Yeah, and you're going to hear that the people in
the background minding the lawns.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Yeah, but you really are, you really are on the WAPs,
aren't you. I mean, it really is out of the way.
It's exciting, it is, it is, and I think that
that comes up for sale quite often, doesn't it. But
I guess you got long winters with no one in there.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
It'll be pretty hard to run on a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
They've got those people doing the rail they've got the
people in the railway and the golf carts now so.

Speaker 5 (01:17:07):
Yeah, and they had the jiggers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Nice to hear from you. I con police. You've got
three pubs they've got on you. Fourteen past ten, can
evening make this is Marcus Welcome, I.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Marcus, long time.

Speaker 23 (01:17:22):
But anyway, you're going to a very interesting discussion going
on the wood End Bypass.

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Which was an absolute mess.

Speaker 23 (01:17:34):
And we had Simeon Brown down here in the Ymack
mir at it way back in the earlier in the
year and there's still nothing sort of really set up
and it's a cock up anyway. The original one was
set up when the existing motorway was built. It was

(01:17:56):
already published in the paper, but it must have been
no north kind of addition of the press in those days,
which you can't get the old paper off. And we
had to rebuild the Saltwater Creek bridge, which they did,
and that was put where it is today because it
was to line up with the new road when it
came through. Now at the moment they've decided to take

(01:18:19):
the thing around the coastal side, then turn it around
and bring it right into the middle of Ravenswood and Pegasus,
if you can believe it. The golf course in Pegasus
has been for sale. And if you go down that
road into Pegasus anyway, there's a big bundy of Pegasus

(01:18:40):
over the other side of it, and if you look
north before you get there, you can see nothing in
the a not a thing all the way.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
Up to North Canterbury.

Speaker 23 (01:18:51):
On the other side. There's a few houses to the south.
But back in the seventies a bypasses put right through
our farm up in North Canterbury, and it was the
best thing that ever happened. We bought the farm who
has already had the designation put on it for the
road with the Public Works Act, and we bought it anyway,

(01:19:13):
and the compensation was all paid and worked out and
the road was start. It's all about four or five
years after the original procomotion was paid, so that was
no problem. But the Ashley Bridge has been rebuilt at Ranguura,
so it's already drawn up the designs for each end

(01:19:35):
of that. It's a beautiful bridge, it's got width, it's
got cycle lanes on it. The existing Ashley River Bridge
is a death trap. I've nearly come to grief Fair,
friends have nearly come to Griefair and a few truck
drives have told me they've actually lost their wing mirrors
with another truck going past them. There's no room for

(01:19:57):
bicycles on it. Just recently it had a big lump
smashed the outside of it. I don't know whether anybody
was killed or not, but no, they've got they've got
a You could build it in two stages. If you
come right through to the golf course from Pineakers, no problem.
You'd have to jump over the road that goes out

(01:20:18):
to the wood in Beach. You have to jump over
the road that goes into Piggerses and then and you
continue on you have to put another over bridge over
the road that goes down to White Cuckoo Beach and
then you're at the Airfew River a new bridge that's
got a good safe bridge and line it straight up

(01:20:39):
the Saltwood Creek. And that was how it was designed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
Man, have they not even have they not even started
building it yet?

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
Okay? Have they not?

Speaker 23 (01:20:48):
In no, Well, I guess they're a clipping the ticket there,
digging holes and trying to find out what's underneath it
when it's all gravel anyway, And you've got gravel fit
at the Pineakers and you've got the gravel fits there already,
so you know what's underneath the surface. And when you
get to the Eshley River end, well you've got no
shortage either.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
It sounds like you should be in charge of it.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
Mac.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
You sound like you know more than most pubs you'd own.
Marty Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:21:18):
Are we allowed to have overseas pubs or because have
to be New Zealands?

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
Well you can do what you can do. What for
Marty nor.

Speaker 15 (01:21:27):
Sorry, some overseas pubs are like to own as the
pavilion at Burley Heads on the Gold Coast. Yeah, because
that's like the beachfront line, just next to the surf
Club at Burley Heads and it's always packed and hockey
is there. All the pro surfers are there, the farmers there,
the farmers the club. It's like a real cross fiction.

(01:21:50):
The scaffolders are there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
What are you there?

Speaker 15 (01:21:56):
I was there on holidays Easter is the time a
year ago? It seems like only yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
What what place would you call is that part of
the Gold Coast Head.

Speaker 15 (01:22:09):
It's like you got fly the cool and Gada from
Hamilton because that's the only way now and then and
then it goes cool and Gader, Burley Head, broad Beach,
Main Beach. So it's like the end of the south
end of the Gold Coast Beach.

Speaker 4 (01:22:27):
I guess they call it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Is there an ocean pool? There is he one of
those pools in front of it?

Speaker 15 (01:22:31):
No, I don't need it. It's just just the ocean.
But the surfing is good because it's a point break.

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:22:39):
Wow, it's it's like Mount MONGANOI is.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
It paddling out?

Speaker 15 (01:22:41):
You just walk out track and jump up some rocks
and you're in the zone.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Pretty When was the last time? When was the last
time you're on a board?

Speaker 10 (01:22:50):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:22:52):
I think it was Mount Longanoy East The time the share.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Yeah, you keep fit, don't you good on you?

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
Do you want to hear?

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
No, I'm just still Well what's the food like?

Speaker 15 (01:23:06):
It's like it's a pub, but the beauty of the
Burly pavilion as the people watching like because you're sitting
looking at the ocean, looking.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
At because your cockies are used to looking at cows.
Even anyone's interesting. Isn't it to change.

Speaker 15 (01:23:25):
Pretty much? And if it's like a cow show or
some sort of dog show or something, it does look good.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
It looks good. Are you staying nearby? You walk there?
Do you just go down the pavilion?

Speaker 15 (01:23:36):
Well, we actually ride we hide bikes and rode down
from the main beach here. Anyway, it's a special.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Where the bikes were maintained.

Speaker 15 (01:23:48):
You still were like these sort of lime lime lime
ear bikes or nothing?

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
We should have kai And were you were you and
your wife at the Burley Burley Pavilion for your honeymoon.

Speaker 15 (01:24:01):
We were one block back at some at our farm
owners time share.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
Oh yeah, you got up by the school.

Speaker 15 (01:24:08):
But it was actually really nice. Yeah you got.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
What what are the walks like around the head? He
done the walks around belly head?

Speaker 5 (01:24:18):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:24:18):
Yeah, so you can walk around to Crumb and walk, yeah,
walk here, walk there, just but the main thing is
just walking on the beach, the beach in the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
But you don't get up to look.

Speaker 15 (01:24:28):
At the cows for the gold case. You just go
for like a six a m beach walk.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Oh yeah, okay. And the other the other.

Speaker 5 (01:24:35):
Pub, oh, the other part. There's another.

Speaker 15 (01:24:39):
Sounded like a bit of a cavingda. But the other
one is used to be called the two dollar bar
at Musket Cove and Fiji, and it's like this little
octagon and and it's it's it's it's a sort of
a ditty walk situation, and it has one barman and
about eight sides to it. Everything's two dollars, but I

(01:25:01):
think it's gone up to five dollars or something now
for the inflation.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
It sounds like you could all the way in the
evening there, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:25:08):
Oh yeah, it was great.

Speaker 9 (01:25:09):
It was great.

Speaker 15 (01:25:10):
Ninety eight sort of reunion tour venue.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Yeah, the PEG reunion.

Speaker 15 (01:25:18):
Yeah yeah, the Primary Agriculture and Mess University.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
That sounds like it's been quite wild.

Speaker 9 (01:25:22):
Was it.

Speaker 15 (01:25:24):
No, it was pretty tame. It was pretty tame.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Really. The guys were full on.

Speaker 15 (01:25:31):
Yeah, we're like pretty little responsible ones.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
You'd be there, you'd be like, he'd prefix that Mardi
were you?

Speaker 15 (01:25:38):
Oh no, I I was more like a naughty one.
But that that trap was funny because there was another
time she has situation was that what time she is
in the nineties was Bridge farm owners. They had no
time to go about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
You said that, Maddie. It's a free, funny story. It's
just like a Roger Hall play. Laurie.

Speaker 11 (01:26:00):
Hi there, Marcus. Yeah, these de bag guys, the ones
that took over the fits, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Want to say? What to say it? I thought that
Fitz would live forever, but it's gone, and it's just
gone gone.

Speaker 11 (01:26:16):
Actually I think that I think they actually demolished it.
I mean it was still sitting there with its name
on and everything until relatively recently. But yeah, no, it's funny.
There was a I took a run through Messy. There
was a monument to depair guys. Look a big big
boulder they put up part way through because I don't

(01:26:38):
as a memorial to Laurrie.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
We're to the Student Street now in Palmerston North all
about I guess.

Speaker 11 (01:26:47):
Probably I'm sort of probably don't frequent the student bars.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
But you've got it. You've got a healthy interest in
things of everything now, Laurie, So I made you you
know where they go, wouldn't you? Somebody, what are you running?
What are your running mates? That tell you?

Speaker 11 (01:27:03):
Yeah? Actually I haven't been running all that much, but yeah, hey,
probably because we've got a hell a lot of the
big booze banes have closed down around Pami.

Speaker 5 (01:27:13):
It's sort of yes, the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
I suppose there's a few of the excites people of too.
Are there any like craft beer places to be kind
of craft beer central now? Paris and ought would be
a good place for craft beer, wouldn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:27:29):
Yeah, probably one place they may still drink out a
bit as the old work. But I popped in the
first time I've been there for a long time. I
popped into the pub called the Rose and Crown last
Friday night, which has gone up in Terrace End that
sort of has done up to look like a you know,
the older English place. It was real rise.

Speaker 5 (01:27:47):
Actually.

Speaker 11 (01:27:48):
Yeah, but being whimsical about if if I was to
own a pub, I mean, that's not what I really
wrang up about, But I'm just thinking I always thought
the Empire Teven that Ross would be yes, that's the
he did a big goold mining and ross way back

(01:28:10):
and the mother was born there. But they had a
great ambience. Have been through there a few times and
yeah it's it's your classic.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Pub with it's your classic pub with a two story
wooden one with a balcony. That's what you want to run.

Speaker 11 (01:28:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and perhaps another one over that
way that spent bit of time there. You know, I
always thought, you know, the public Marrowa Springs or Maruia Springs,
what do we want to call? It never really reached
its potential, you know, given what was there, I thought
the hell a lot more could be done with it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
But yeah, I mean that's the thing of because we're
all drunken pubs, we all think it's probably easy to
run them, but it's probably actually it's probably actually none
of us probably got the right skill set. But anyway,
it's always fun to believe they're trouble to get the staff,
as you say, yeah that's the country. Probably think it'd
be an absolute dream, but you're sort of employing sixteen

(01:28:58):
year olds and fifteen year olds and getting you know,
be very difficult anyway.

Speaker 11 (01:29:02):
But I just what I did mention I was going
to ring up about was the meeting up in Alaska
with mister Putin, And I thought there was a certain
amount of irony there that you know, the Orange Messiah.
He hasn't announced exactly where Alaska is are going to
meet you, but I thought it would be great if
they picked on Sitka, which was the old Russian capital.

(01:29:27):
It's would be a good spot. I mean, given the
irony of things. And also the other matter would be
because the the Russians sold Alaska to the Americans and
that was too because they had to finance the Crimean war.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
That is Chell, that's load.

Speaker 11 (01:29:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's the old Nicholas the first
he run right out of money. It was desperate to
get something, and so they flicked off. Yeah, and he'd say,
and I think, you know, the smart money seemed to
think that Corimera, there's no way that the Ukrainians are
going to get them back basically.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
But yeah, good point, Laurie. Thank you for coming through.
Well that I appreciate that. Of course, Yes it was Russian.
Keep your calls coming through. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
What's happening, folks? They're running pubs would be all very good,
well on a satur Friday night, and Saturday's the rest
of the week you got to worry about how do
you get them in there on a Monday? We like

(01:30:36):
pulling teeth anyway? Now South Africa one six seven four three,
After fifty others, Brevers is shot to his ninety twenty century.
He's a twenty two year old, So there we go.

(01:30:58):
It didn't forty one balls love walking into a craft
beer micro brewery and asking, got anything which tastes like hops? Marcus.
I missed who the last caller was, but what a
rip of the Orange Messiah hilarious Rose and Crown and Palmi,
great old English pub. The meals are the best around.

(01:31:20):
Musket co Fiji Island bar so so good. I'm on
the Gold Coast. Now was it the Burleye pubbies talking about?
From Burley he goes south the curumb and Tonguan kra
and cooling. Genner went to a really good Irish English
Irish pub on Cuba Street. JJ's he got me in

you get the shitzel anyway? Welcome Headed twelve oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty good evening, Louise, welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:32:00):
Oh hi Marcus. Before I get into the pub, I've
worked theven and Calls Burger Bar in the early seventies.

Speaker 9 (01:32:10):
What in christ Church?

Speaker 18 (01:32:15):
Yes, it was a bit.

Speaker 13 (01:32:17):
Of a nightmare because the guy was going broke, so
people would come in and ask for chips and so sorry,
got no chips. Well if you got any burgers, no, sorry,
got no buns. It was just ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
That was because it was Uncles and it wasn't part
of the same chain.

Speaker 13 (01:32:35):
Or I think so. Yes, there was a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
Where in christ Church?

Speaker 13 (01:32:42):
Was it Belias?

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Of course it was.

Speaker 18 (01:32:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:32:49):
Anyway, the pub i'd like to buy is the formerly
the Blackball Healthon Oh yeah, and i'd run.

Speaker 9 (01:33:03):
Murder Mystery Weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Great thing to do well.

Speaker 9 (01:33:07):
Yeah and.

Speaker 13 (01:33:11):
Yeah, and and cheap meals on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
Have you ever been to a Murder Mystery Weekend?

Speaker 13 (01:33:19):
No, No, I wish i had.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
I've always always they had them at the Brian Ruined
Teams forever. And you know, I presume you go to
dinner and someone dies, right.

Speaker 13 (01:33:30):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
I've always I've always I've always thought of be a
good place to go to murder someone. Would be a
mooder mystery weekend, wouldn't it. Yeah, if you want to do,
if you want to do your partner in or something,
I mean, there'd be the thing to do, wouldn't it.
You're doing a murder mystery weekend because no one wants
to speak to you anyway. Yes, I know I'll find
out someone that's been to one, because I've always because
a beautiful building, the Black Paul Hilton.

Speaker 13 (01:33:55):
Yes, that's it's a beautiful place really, as Lovely's history.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
I stayed there one night and I was the only
one staying there, but there was a there was a
fire alarm and the battery had run out, so it beeped.
There was a beep, and boy, I spent the whole
night going from room to room to work it, trying
to work out which room it was beeping, and it
was a It was a fretful night, but in the

(01:34:23):
end I found it. But yes, that was that. It's
all because, of course you do you do what your
fire alarms, yeah, your smoke alarms to work in a big,
old double story wood wooden pub with the downstairs room
full of people drinking.

Speaker 13 (01:34:37):
Oh, yes, for sure. What when was that?

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Look, it's a good it's a good question you ask.
I think it must have been about two thousand and four,
and A certainly think it was before the smoke free
legislation came in.

Speaker 9 (01:34:53):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:34:53):
Oh, yes, I spent a few nights here in the early.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
Eighties, did you working?

Speaker 20 (01:35:00):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:35:00):
No, I was living in black thought time.

Speaker 18 (01:35:03):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (01:35:05):
Yeah, we bought the house off the guy who owned
the pub, a guy called Mike Graham, a cheeky little
entrepreneur he was. I don't know what happened to him,
but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
Good town to live for. Pretty hard work.

Speaker 13 (01:35:20):
Oh, hard work in the winter time, very very.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
How many people? How many people there are a couple
of hundred.

Speaker 13 (01:35:29):
Yeah, something like that. Let's get it. It's actually on
the app at the moment, so not.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
For not for long though, surely what why would it
be on the app?

Speaker 18 (01:35:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:35:39):
I don't know that I read an article about it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
I think every time it's an article, I think there's
every time there's an article that's saying a small town's
on the app, it's normally someone that's trying to sell
their house, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:35:50):
Well, yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:35:51):
The other pub is the sale at the moment again?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):

Speaker 13 (01:35:55):
Yes, yeah, the Black Owl.

Speaker 13 (01:36:02):
Yeah, it's just a little well, it's not motel rooms
and everything on that.

Speaker 23 (01:36:08):
So did you do much did you?

Speaker 2 (01:36:10):
Did you do much drinking at the Hilton with a
many with as many people in there on a regular time.
Was it a busy pub or was it pretty quiet?

Speaker 13 (01:36:18):
I don't know that he had a license actually sort
of party rather than yeah yes by the time there
good time anyway, So yes, I think I think it's
cool that they called the black Ball Hilton until the
Hailton Jane got when there was, of.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
Course, and now it's a form. It's for me, the
black Ball Hilton, isn't it.

a train mystery weekend the other day up from christ
Church up from Dena. It was christ Jit but that's yeah.

(01:38:15):
I don't know what the trouble the train murder vestry
would be, Marcus. Good show. The Fonger mom in a
hotel currently for sale, has been on the market for
a couple of months. Thank you, Marcus. The friends Glacier
Valley is well worth a visit. The best these is
Glaciers to view the Fox Glacier from Te Corpico or

Taka or walk away on the Gulf Cork Flat Road.
The Cork Flat Road leads to go Lesbie's Beach, another
great place to see the glaciers and see the sea.
Thank you for that, Trace Marcus. Evening.

Speaker 25 (01:38:54):
Welcome, Haddie Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:38:57):
I just want to check to you about a couple
of pubs. I laughed when Laurie said about Maruia Springs
because we got snowed in there one night coming back
from the and there was a couple of car loads
of us. The snow was really high. We ended up
having to wear where people's left over bikinis and togs

(01:39:18):
and stuff, and went out into the pools out there
and had a great night with a couple of drinks
sitting in the snow in the hot pools. It was
absolutely fantastic. Wow, that's one pub I absolutely love.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
So are the hot pools attached to the pub?

Speaker 5 (01:39:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (01:39:37):
Yeah, So the pub's at the front, right on the roadside,
and then the pub and then the pools are out
the back and they've actually even got like an accommodation
out there as well. And looking over the river there
is a men's pool inside pool thing and a woman's

(01:39:58):
inside pool on the right hand side, and the groups
we kind of split up and had a bit of
fun in there first and then we went out the
side into the like we were walking through snow that
was as tall as our shoulders. It was absolutely fantastic night.

(01:40:20):
And the hilarious thing was, you know, wearing all these
other people's togs that had been left behind and feeding
through all these bags and trying to find togs first
as everybody it was, oh my god, that was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
The hotel amongst it's got your classic bar and there
as well, is that.

Speaker 28 (01:40:38):
Right, yeah, yeah, restaurant, yeah, okay, great, yeah yeah, real
country kind of thing.

Speaker 13 (01:40:44):
Now.

Speaker 28 (01:40:44):
The other one was we went up to we live
in the a Tager Harbor, but we went up to Fongaroa,
which is way up the top of the North Island,
and that is a beautiful wooden wooden, you know, an
old wooden pub with the beautiful balconies out there, you know.
And our room was upstairs and it opened to the

(01:41:05):
balcony and we looked out into this beautiful bay. There
was a sports fishing club over on the left hand side,
that obviously got a lot of a lot of people
drinking there and stuff like that. And the old pub,
you know, it was. It was just a classic old pub,
gorgeous to the point where we were sitting down there
having a drink and and they all got called out

(01:41:26):
on the on the fire. We was only once left
in the pub.

Speaker 29 (01:41:31):
And there's the above and.

Speaker 28 (01:41:33):
As the owner left he said just help yourself and
and run a tab. I was like, no worries, oh god.
But we went up there to look at a boat
that was in the in the bay there, ended up
buying it and bringing it back to Carrie's Bay. So yeah,
it was that's a classic pub. That was a really
lovely pub up there. We'd never been up that far

(01:41:57):
and it was real beautiful, old classic pub yep, beautiful meals.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Really a nice little community up there too, isn't it.
That's great?

Speaker 11 (01:42:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:42:07):
And of course Stuart Island, you know, we go down
there with the boat and stuff and love the pub
down there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Yeah, pubs pretty. It's pretty busy now though, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:42:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:42:18):
Yeah, it's a lot busier than what it used to
be in the day when we were younger down there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:23):
I don't know how they get by with stuff.

Speaker 28 (01:42:25):
Yeah, yeah, it must be hard for them. And of
course Carrie's Base, that's our local and we love it
and it's the sale at the moment, so that carry
my historic hotel.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
Yeah, that's stone one. How long is your boat trip
from from from to Stuart Island?

Speaker 28 (01:42:42):
From about nine ten hours living it yet ten hours
down to stud Island.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
Yep, it's been quite a big trip, isn't It's not
bad though, you know, like you know, it's all right.

Speaker 28 (01:42:57):
You just catch up on the way down and then yeah,
and then usually some people come across from Bluff that
don't want to come down on the on the trip,
so that's okay. We picked them up there and then
head over.

Speaker 5 (01:43:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
Marvelous. Nice to hear from your trace. Thank you, evening, Keith.
It's Marcus, welcome Okaday.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
Murray Springs Hotel.

Speaker 14 (01:43:19):
Yes, it's not the original hotel that burnt down in
nineteen sixty four, okay. And to keep the bar license,
I think they had to put they put up a
tent as a temporary bar.

Speaker 9 (01:43:33):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (01:43:35):
I remember arriving there with my dad in nineteen sixty four,
and I think a hotel in Reefedon might have burnt
down shortly after. I'm not quite sure about that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Can you explain to me? Because if no one lives there,
it'd be hard to find your clientele, wouldn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:43:52):
Oh, I know you've got a lot of clientele going
through and trucks and cars and that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Okay, it's like a road stop, is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
Yeah, okay, it's like a road stop. Yeah. But I
remember arriving there in sixty four or so around about
them and just burned down.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
I've never heard a story of a pub in a
tend It's a great thing to have, particularly in the winter.

Speaker 4 (01:44:13):
It was then they modernized it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:17):
Yeah, And look, it's actually it's a place I need
to get to because I've driven that road but never
I mean, I'm always in a mission to get somewhere
and never stopped. So because there's two there's two hot
springs on that road, isn't there? There's the other ones?
Are there?

Speaker 4 (01:44:33):
Or Amnah springs?

Speaker 2 (01:44:34):
But there's another one? Is it just the Maria Springs
with another one as well as the three of them?

Speaker 9 (01:44:38):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (01:44:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:44:40):
I can't remember any others.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
No, Okay, I might be wrong, Hemna Maruia. He might
be right where about see you, Keith.

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
A little place called k Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
Yeah, what's going on with that? Yeah, it's yeah, i'd
kind of do. Is it north of where the boulders are?

Speaker 4 (01:45:06):
That's a that's great, Not for where the bowlers are?

Speaker 8 (01:45:08):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
Do the bowlders come and go? Someone said there weren't
many bowlders when they went there? I thought, I thought,
there's always the same amount. Do they get covered up?

Speaker 4 (01:45:16):
I come and go? There's a fuse still there?

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
Well, they get covered up by sand or what happens
to them?

Speaker 19 (01:45:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:45:22):
Yeah, there's a lot of erosion along the beaches at
the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
You're great, man Donald, thank you for that good evening.
Lorraine ats Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:50:40):
Hi Marcus, I with a group from our village. About
the two of us stayed at the Marus Springs Hotel
just recently. Wonderful food, great accommodation and wonderful hot springs.
But the sand flies Nelly carried us away. They were
terrible and for weeks afterwards I still had the result

(01:51:03):
of the bites even between your fingers are up on
your hairline if you put stuff on thinking that you
know they're not going to get you.

Speaker 2 (01:51:10):
I've never had sand flies at hemah.

Speaker 17 (01:51:13):
Ah No, they're not there, but they're they're up at Marua,
which is like up in a rainforest. Really, there's some
I don't know what they do about it, because you know,
we all put stuff on and they said that there
they won't be there at night, so we all headed
up at night. But no they were, and they won't

(01:51:33):
be there when it's blowing, or it won't be there
when it's raining, rained and blue and we still had
sand flows everywhere, so that was the one negative. But
they go to a lot of trouble there and they
made us very welcome. I think they had a fairly
new manager.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
In other pools proper pools, well they're just mud pools.

Speaker 17 (01:51:53):
No, they're proper pools. The Lovely yeah, and they had
they had what do they call the ones that are
just icy water like plunge bars. People. There were three
different temperatures, a bit like Hamnah. I'm going up to
Hamna this month as well. Lovely place and I love

(01:52:15):
the hot pools. But they they had a range of
temperatures so you could start down in the mild and
get up to the heart and then have a plunge
in the icy.

Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
But you need to hed to go on. I mean,
I like because Hamma doesn't have a plunge pull. I'm
three familiar with the hemmer pools.

Speaker 17 (01:52:33):
Yes, yes, well I like them too, But the plunge
pools are they're us looking at something yesterday which they
they were saying they're not good for you that that
especially women, where they've been sort of toted as being
you feel wonderful afterwards and things like that. But now

(01:52:55):
they're saying, no, don't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
I think the Russians were real big on sort of
a zero degrees plunged but it's not for me. I'm not.
I mean, I like a hot pool.

Speaker 17 (01:53:06):
I'll go and roll in the in the snow.

Speaker 25 (01:53:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Anyway, Yeah, well you stay the night and you're just
going for a day trip.

Speaker 17 (01:53:18):

gave you accommodation and Hamner very reasonable. I think it
was one hundred and thirty nine dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:53:29):

Speaker 17 (01:54:17):
Oh, it is fun. It's very picturesque and you know,
up through the sandstone rocks and things. It's lovely. I
really enjoy it. I went out to Oxford during the
last weekend and I thought, oh, good August, I'll see

Speaker 2 (02:02:07):
Yes, it was Sonia Beckwards, wasn't it.

Speaker 24 (02:02:09):
Oh it was beautiful, my friend and they used to
go for a burger every Monday night. They had a
special on the burgers, Marcus, and they're about one of
the best burgers I had ever tasted.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
Goodness. Yeah, it hasn't closed that long ago. It would
have been the last two or three years, is that right? Anos, Yeah?

Speaker 24 (02:02:27):
Are we while back now and it's now an Indian place?

Speaker 16 (02:02:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
Yes, yes, I've been to that and it was Yeah,
that was It was a bit different, but it.

Speaker 24 (02:02:35):
Was really good because they were only nineteen dollars and
we went. We went every Monday night practically, and then
we used to have a donut.

Speaker 2 (02:02:45):

for the radio water and see how it goes for you?

(02:03:06):
H he had long pauses, Evan Marcus Evans door knock kock,
knocking on Evans door. What's happening?

Speaker 5 (02:03:17):
Evan?

Speaker 4 (02:03:20):
Didn't he break the two minute mile going down Queen Street?

Speaker 5 (02:03:25):
Oh? John Walker?

Speaker 2 (02:03:26):
It was a great race, that wasn't it. That was
a really good race.

Speaker 4 (02:03:30):
Yeah, that brings back memories that hearing that after how.

Speaker 2 (02:03:34):
Long did how long did he do? The Queen And
there was a very funny time. There was a very
fun time on the Queen Street mile when a guy
joined the race dressed as the greatest American hero? Do
you remember that?

Speaker 5 (02:03:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:03:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a long time ago.

Speaker 11 (02:03:53):
Won.

Speaker 2 (02:03:54):
Why don't they keep doing that? Why don't they keep
doing that?

Speaker 4 (02:04:02):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
I think it might have been called the modern I
think it might have been called the Moderenberg Man.

Speaker 4 (02:04:08):
Everything's disappearing. Don't even have the Santa Claus on the
Farmer's building anymore?

Speaker 2 (02:04:12):
Don't even have the farmers building, do they? I don't
think it's a hotel. If you want to do it
on a quiet Sunday morning, you start up where the
Greer Twist sculpture is on the corner of Kanger Happy
Road and Simon Street. You run down from there.

Speaker 4 (02:04:32):
Good for the two minute mile.

Speaker 2 (02:04:33):
Now I'll just try to see how long it took them.
I'm watching it on YouTube now. They're just coming past
the Tabernacle. Now they're coming past the Civic. It's one
forty four. I don't think they'll do it in less
than three minutes. I suppose you couldn't. I suppose you.
They wouldn't have enough road cones to close the street
these days, would they. Then the retailer. Then the retailers

(02:04:57):
would complain because it's keeping people out of the town.
You know what. It's like? Yeah, ok, that's all I
hang on, hang on, even I haven't finished with you.
Oh yeah, So the guy's about to finish it, right,
and I think he's Kenyon, And the time looks like
it's gonna be and the old cop cars are coming

(02:05:17):
down what were they, old Courtenas or something. He's coming
down into Key Street now. The time looks like it's
going to be about three twenty five. But you should
see the crowds that two. There must be half a
million people tune up to watch that.

Speaker 4 (02:05:31):
Yeah, yeah, it was because they had it on the
news that night.

Speaker 6 (02:05:34):
Looked.

Speaker 2 (02:05:34):
Yeah, you're on to it the modern bring that back.
That'd be good for your mural campaign, for your Molenberg mile.
Love the track suits those days too, all the colors
were brighter, Todd, Marcus Ted. Sorry, I apologize for getting
your name wrong. Ted, It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 27 (02:05:56):
Oh how are you Marcus good?

Speaker 2 (02:05:58):
Ted?

Speaker 27 (02:05:59):
And yes, we used to get his packs. We used
to work at Lagon Hills at Martinborough. We used to
get up a Saturday afternoon, six of us would hire
a taxi for the weekend and go over to the
tin up in Featherston and have a night there for

(02:06:24):
the over the hours of the morning. And it was
rather rather good. I hadn't been back there for years.

Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
Was the goon Hills of Was the Goon Hills of
farm tid Yes, it.

Speaker 27 (02:06:35):
Was forty one thousand acres for the state.

Speaker 2 (02:06:39):
Oh yeah, of course.

Speaker 27 (02:06:42):
Yeah. They had the race horses and all that. They
are in half of that land down there to White
Rock and Carl White. It was taken back after the
war and give them to the serviceman.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
Copy that.

Speaker 27 (02:07:00):
Yeah, it was. John Bradby was the manager in those days.
It was back in the sixties.

Speaker 2 (02:07:07):
Was it the closest part. It wasn't the closest cub pub,
but it was the pub.

Speaker 5 (02:07:12):
No.

Speaker 27 (02:07:13):
We we had two pubs and Martin Bar. Yeah, well
one's gone now. I can't remember the name of the there,
but we used to get it was eighteen miles from
Martin Bough and then we just six of us would
hire a taxi for the weekend and away we'd go

(02:07:33):
and do a pub call. It was.

Speaker 4 (02:07:37):
It was brilliant.

Speaker 27 (02:07:39):
It was a great farm to be on. It was
forty one thousand acres and tyl White over the back.
They used to do the dry stock.

Speaker 2 (02:07:49):
Oh yeah, the dry stock.

Speaker 9 (02:07:50):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:07:53):
Did Where are you now?

Speaker 27 (02:07:55):
Who now? I'm up in?

Speaker 2 (02:07:58):
Oh no, cheapers. It's a long way from where where
you started.

Speaker 27 (02:08:03):
Oh yeah, well there was only about seventeen and those yep,
I'm just on ninety now. Was a wonderful group of
guys that used to work on a lagoon hill and
used to go to the all the horse shows and

(02:08:28):
dog trials and it was Oh yeah, in those days
when you're single, you think your bulletproof.

Speaker 2 (02:08:37):
In those days, I'm going to run, but nice to talk.
Thank you, sir, Marcus.

Speaker 30 (02:08:42):
Hello, Hello Marcus. We had a honeymoon at Maruya Springs.

Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
A great place for a honeymoon.

Speaker 30 (02:08:50):
Honeymoon, yeah, fifty years ago this October. Wow, congratulations, thank
And we arrived later afternoon and was served cucumber sandwiches.
I never forget that. I think that became dinner as well,
because the kitchen had and I believe I'd been smoking
something he shouldn't have, and he was chasing the chef

(02:09:11):
around the kitchen with a carving knife.

Speaker 18 (02:09:13):
Wow.

Speaker 30 (02:09:14):
And he was finally carted off by the police when
they got there.

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
It's a good story.

Speaker 18 (02:09:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (02:09:20):
The thing we were very young and every morning we
were in the chalets down below the hotel because it
was separate from the bar, and you had to go
up outside stairs to get into the hotel part. And
I remember it was snowy, and every single morning we
would have breakfast in bed. They would leave something crucial

(02:09:42):
off the breakfast tray and my husband would have to
put on a gown, slippers and or shoes and trudge
up through the snow and the steps to the hotel
to retrieve something essential. I think they did it as a.

Speaker 2 (02:09:55):
Laugh laugh, Well you didn't How many knights did you
have there so.

Speaker 30 (02:10:04):
That I can't remember a few?

Speaker 2 (02:10:07):
Was it popular for people to go as a honeymoon place?

Speaker 30 (02:10:11):
Oh, we sort of stretched it out. We had a
few nights in Akuiroa, and then we went to Maruya Springs.
We'd come down from Auckland. But when we got to
ekuro we found it was booked out by a telecom
conference and we had stay in the smith's garage that
they had a been in.

Speaker 2 (02:10:28):
Was quite hilarious, so it wasn't particularly well planned. Where
was the reception for you winning an Auckland? Was it
an Auckland?

Speaker 9 (02:10:34):
Was it?

Speaker 11 (02:10:35):
Yes?

Speaker 30 (02:10:35):
It was No, It was a great moon. It was
very memorable. And then we ended up in Queenstown. That
was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (02:10:41):
Oh, Queenstown would have been a much easier place to
get around fifty years ago. I imagine it was the highlight.

Speaker 11 (02:10:48):
Really.

Speaker 30 (02:10:49):
It was quite entertaining about the poor old sheeff but Queenstown.

Speaker 18 (02:10:52):
Would love it.

Speaker 2 (02:10:55):
Nice to hear from you, sou thank you night away
from twelve and very oh wait, Toundred. You know the rest.
My name is Marcus. Welcome, Well you might know the
rest anyway, Who who.

Speaker 12 (02:11:09):
Is?

Speaker 2 (02:11:09):
I wish I didn't start saying any who? Marcus. The
race you speak of down Queen Street stopped because of
huge crowds and fear of possibly person's been pushed through
retailer's windows. Really same as around the Bay. You start
the town Hall Queen Street for two races, which I
ran in before starting, change to Victoria Park bottom of

(02:11:32):
College Hill. Big crowds for the down Queen Street race.
I presume John Walker Rennet. I guess that was just
when the beginning of professionalism, because when did the runners
start getting paid? Because it was all a sham there
for a while, wasn't They didn't get any money. We'd

(02:11:55):
the way that sport was amateur Betta of course, cleaner.
Hey that's it for me, people, I'm tapping, I'm tapping out.
Oh another email. Oh yes. The other place through Lewis
Pass area that had pools was Sylvia Flats, Long Bond

(02:12:19):
now from road realignments. Yes, I've always meant to spend
longer in that part of the country. I've spent a
lot of time at Hannah. I when I say a
lot of time at Hamdnah, I've spent a lot of
time at Hamnah. I was it Queen Mary for six
weeks I think, and then I have often been back there.

(02:12:41):
And yes, and when you're at Queen Mary, you had
access to the pools. Even they'd be going in a
hospital towel. We didn't have to, of course, but why
not if in doubt a tremendous place. And now they've
got the we've got some quite good rides to heaven

(02:13:03):
though they've got the conical bowl or that one you
go down backwards, quite enjoy that. Yeah, anyway, we'll be
heading up the other year. I suppose sometime it's always
good to get up there. Yes, so that's on the list.

(02:13:25):
What the one more lot of school holidays this year,
haven't we the I don't even know what month they are.
We also always call them the August school holidays, but
now it seems though they're October. I think we've got
a boy turning ten in October. I think it's birthdays
normally in the holidays. Likes a big party, that one, Yes,

(02:13:46):
so we'll work out how that goes. That's anyway now
let me think of any last text before I retire
for the night. Every rolls no no more texts. I

(02:14:08):
think the height of the text was the one about
the beef Wellington or anyone watched the latest Alone terrible.
Well they've gone to Africa, there's nothing to eat. It
was much better in the Aleska that's on TV n Z. Plus.
What I don't know about Alone is whether they is

(02:14:30):
this this middle the next minute? Okay, so alone is
when they go to the wild and they film themselves, right.
Do you think they have phones and satellites and they
upload the vision or do you think they just stow
it all on discs until the end of the challenge.
I wouldn't mind knowing how the show is made because
there's no camera people in it. They've got to film themselves,

(02:14:52):
and I don't know how to incend how they incentivize
the contestants to film. Because you're out hunting on your own,
you've got to film it be a lot of theffing around.
I just wouldn't mind starting to know some of the
rules involved. Anyway, one day, maybe I might talk to
a producer or something I might come across one That's
just something I'm thinking of, and that is it for

(02:15:15):
me people.
