Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
At be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings, welcome Hit til twelve. My name is Marcus. Good evening. Interesting,
Graham Henry. You know, we lose the rugby to Argentina
for the first time I think ever in Argentina and
the ref was extraordinarily good. I thought we got caught
sitting three times. And there's Graham Henry saying the game

(00:34):
needs to change, the rules are too complicated. Goodness, isn't
that interesting?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
What happens when we get beaten is that they've one closer.
Shops is all, well, it's not our team's fault, it's
the game's fault. That to me sounds like denial and
an immature response, just putting that out there. I don't
know what your comments are on that, but I watched
a lot of support on the weekend. Actually, to be fair,
must have watched four NRL games. Must have watched some

(01:03):
women's rugby. Must to watch the All Blacks. Must have watched.
One of the most enjoyable games was one of the
AFL matches I watched last night. It's not a game
I love, but yeah, once upon a time and late
Sunday night. Quite good. It's good when it's close. Not
often you see an AFL match when it's close. Seems

(01:23):
to be the few I've watched that one team streams
ahead and that's kind of it. This was quite a
close one last night. And I think once it gets
the final point end of the season, they're fighting for
top four and top eight, that makes it more enjoyable. Oh,
they were amazing. That's crowded Argentina and we'll never be
like that. What makes South Americans want to bounce? They're
all there in the audience just linking hands and just bouncing, jumping.

(01:45):
Fantastic to watch. What a cauldron. I loved it all. Actually,
there was an enjoyable match to watch because it's exciting
right to the end. Oh yeah, to be the doom
says and YadA yadayah, And goodness me gosh, some of
the articles we've written about it since someone said we've
written in the All Blacks operate like a math for

(02:06):
you jeep has creepers. But the good thing is, I'll
tell you what the good thing is is the All
Blacks can lose these days, and we handle it better.
For a long time, the All Blacks would lose. It
was the end of the world. Both think people's priorities
have changed. It makes me a very exciting Champions League

(02:27):
with the fourteen, if that's what it's called. If there's
four team's kind of the same. I think most people
excited because the South thing gets to go for the
shield tomorrow this week against Waikato. It's gonna be a
big deal. So there we go. Anyway, I just thought
i'd bit of cover off sport in cases anyone that's
still got stuff they're desperate to say from the sports show.

(02:48):
But yeah, I thought it was a enjoyable match. She
loved the passion that guy Minera. What a crazy face
he's got. Love him anyway, that's the rugby. But yeah,
I don't know for something. I guess it made for
a tough and long sunday anyway, But yeah, the AFIL

(03:10):
match was a real good anyway, it was all good.
All sport was good. So so what, by the way,
my dilemma. I've driven to work today and I had
the drink bottle on the spare seat while the drink
bottles emped out into the spear into the passenger seat
of my car. So I was quite sure what to
do that. I arrived at work with a free wet
car seat, not my seat, the passenger seat. So I've

(03:31):
left the air con on in the car lock. Do
you think it'll dry it out? I'm not quite sure
about that. I was suspected probably won't. A liter of
water in the car seat. How long do you think
that'll take to go? And how would you get rid
of it? How would you get rid of a lead
of water in a car seat? But no idea what
you do? No idea at all? Anyway, if you've got
the answers that get in touch, how would you get

(03:53):
rid of water from a car seat? It's not like
stain advice, because it's not a stain. It's just it's
just water soaked. I have put the old dehumidifier in there.
If I had one, I'll by the way too. Here's
a question for you. Are you washing your drink bottles?
Because you know these pill hang off these giant drink bottles.
I think that's fine. They drink all that water glug

(04:13):
glood glug. They go, here's a drink, there's a drink,
glug glug glug. They reckon. If you're not washing your
drink bottle regularly, you give yourself a mis service and
they reckon. What's worse than that is not cleaning your
drink bottle, is not cleaning your straw. If you got
one of those drink bottles with an automatic straw, well

(04:36):
you're mad because what a germ trap that is, Oh
jimmy germ trap. But if you have got one of those,
get one of those tiny little bottle cleaners and up
and down that and clean that thoroughly because that's where
the germs will hide. Apparently, if you've got a water
bottle to be backwashed, and that'll go back in and
cause bacteria. If there are particles of food from your backwash,

(05:02):
it's a wonderful breeding ground, particularly if it's left in
a warm environment for a long period of time. Wouldn't
that be the r And if everyone's got to drink
bottles and quite slowly we're all killing ourselves. There could
be various fung guy and bacteria, so you could have
mold growing in there, and you could have potentially echoly
there you go. It all depends on how he hygienic

(05:26):
your mouth was. How would you know the bacteria can
cause a biofilm, which can be hard to remove, so
straight runs out doesn't work. By the way, what else
you want to say, Oh yeah, I don't know if
you'd clean your drink bottles and the dishwasher. I tried
that and the dishwasher and the water, and it tasted
kind of tasted like sunlight soapy evescent. It's not good.

(05:49):
It's a bad thing anyway. If you've got some advice
about that, that's kind of what we've done the whole thing.
Night tonight, Get in touched, My Name's Welcome eight hundred
and eighty Tady nine two nine two de text. What
about the comments from Graham Henry say, it's the rules
that are wrong. Suddenly we get beaten, and it's the
game and the rules that are wrong. Goodness, it is

(06:09):
like the mafia, the all blacks and the ex coaches
gathering around. Actually quite like them, running and jumping at
the high ball, like the way the game's gone. At
the moment, to dry your car full heat blower on full.
Both rear windows open an inch. I'll go open them
an inch during the break. I can promise you that

(06:32):
wasn't the start I wanted. I'd put a dehumidifire in
the car and cracking up for a few hours down
on the coast. You so not sure about this. We're
just going to be there for months. And then they
have kind of a sour smell. But the engines running
now with the with the heater on it type that works. Matthew, Marcus, welcome, Hello,

(06:58):

take the What you'll find is you'll come out and
your car will be just inside, will be like just wet.

just for some towels on it or something, but yeah,

moisture out. It won't drive the seat, but it will
stop your car fogging up in the morning.

Speaker 9 (08:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
You've got me on behalf there.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's a good word.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Hydro hydrophobic.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Dissicont Oh, okay, dissicant. Is this is something that absorbs
moisture from the air.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh is that? What's beeping? Something's coming and what's happening?

Speaker 5 (08:42):
I was just turning the volume up in the car.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Loving that. I like people that do their own sound
effects with talk pack. It makes a bit of doesn't it,
Like there's you turning things up and down, making beeping noises.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
But yeah, get the dempread I think that will help.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Brilliant. Liking that a lot, Matthew, Thank you, Matthew, demp
red Ben Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (09:05):
You mean or two that's radio?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yes, I thought I lift the other guys go for
a sek yeah, echo echo, I.

Speaker 10 (09:11):
Am two things. Well, I'll just put a demidify in
my car and I put some masking tape around the window.
So because they had the extension cord in there, the
old pair of cord, and it's just sort of sort
of my carrier. I lived it in there all day.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
When did you do this? Say?

Speaker 10 (09:35):
This was last weekend on Saturday. I just yeah, because
I got dogs too, and I take them down to
the quarry and they end up soggy doggies, you know.
So I just I just got back of this. I
grabbed the dehmid A fire and I did, and I

(09:55):
soaked up between eight o'clock in the morning to twelve
o'clock in the afternoon, I soaked up twenty leaders of
water and I just put it in near for the
rest of the day. And I got the two thirds
of the again. And now my car now my car
in the in the mornings, I just need to clean

(10:16):
the insides of the windows, which I'm going to use
newspaper for.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Is it just water from the dogs that's gone into
your seats?

Speaker 10 (10:24):
I reckon that, And probably.

Speaker 11 (10:27):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (10:28):
I don't know what's going on there. It's a family wagon,
got kids in their friends. I just I'm too busy
looking out of the wind screen when I'm in there.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I wouldn't I would drink the water. I wouldn't drink
the water.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
If hey good from this and this all blacks thing,
this this all blacks thing. Man, We've got to remember here,
Well we've just sent all of their beach coaches all
over the world and we've even chucked in the league
thing into Argentina with Kid Will.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I like, well, I like it. I like the we
hang on, hang on, can I just say I like
Kid Will's face.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
He's a pretty boy.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
He's still got the talk about him.

Speaker 10 (11:11):
He's lucky. Old Willie Mason didn't make it, make a change.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (11:17):
But no, look that those those those are things that
we've got to look at and go, hey, be proud.
You know we've lost. We lost to a team that
sure enough, do you keep poking the beer poking and
playing the team they learned, you know, they learned rugby
and we're just doing this all over the world. We're
bringing the whole world up to the bar. We're sitting

(11:38):
the bar. We've set the bar. You know that they
are ten years unbeaten, uh and back to back World
Cups in justice?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Hang on, Ben with when were we ten years unbeaten?

Speaker 10 (11:53):
Okay, there was a daw was there there was a draw?
So when we're all right, okay, we're not perfect.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
No I think I think that Jesus behind us, and
I'm okay about that. That doesn't worry me about the
old lacks. I enjoyed the fact that you can watch
a match between anyone in the top eight and anyone
can win. It's exciting. That's why we want it. It's
great Argentina. We were trying to grow the game. We've
grown in Argentina. It's fantastic. They've got under the high
board and their zippy and they're fans men. Do they

(12:21):
love it? No Mexican waves to get them going. They're
pett it. They bounce on their toes, brilliant. The woman
singing with the big glasses, that was fun. Just love it. Ah,
but gee, she's going to be a tough time for
old old Scott Robertson, old scro jeepers who anyway, Allan,

(12:49):
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
Hello Marcus. So some time ago to drive my user
forever and thinking that it was a brucially late and
what the waterproof, Well it turns out it wasn't and
water sort of slashing around and the foot wells of
it so got that dried out with a de matter fire.

(13:15):
But the important thing to know is turn your head
on with your air conditioning on. So head her on,
full blast on, hot air conditioning on with it, and
just leave it running.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
It'll try out.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
That's what I thought. How long would it take to reckon?

Speaker 8 (13:31):
Two or three sessions out of I reckon?

Speaker 9 (13:33):
What?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Two hours?

Speaker 8 (13:34):
It depends where you can leave your car park? I
suppose ain't, because if you're trying to, if you've got
your car running, you'll be a bit savvy about where
you leave it. I suppose ain't.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Mine's running and it's locked.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
Nice, Oh well, there you go leave it and then
I reckon your man before was talking about it. When
it's dry, you wake up in the morning and there
won't be water on the inside of your window.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Do you have a snorkel when it's dry? Yeah? Do
you have a snorkel on your Do you have a
snorkel on your ut?

Speaker 8 (14:04):
No?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
What what were you thinking?

Speaker 12 (14:09):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (14:10):
It was a ford. It was a ford on the river,
and it was just an opportunity, you know.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
Yeah, I love.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
I love all the times you come across a Ford
in the south side. There's a sign that says Ford
when you come across the unformed river crossing and Summons
and every cans out the side of written hold tod,
which I think is a classic. It's a great thing
to do. Well and thank you. Twenty five past date.
Bob Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, Marcus, I have I have a cure for your car.
I rang up the other day about road user charges
and you said to me, I just go and buy
an electric Carbo. That will something that problem. Well, I
can solve your problem with your car, get rid of
it and get another one.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, that might be the answer. It's work car. But
thanks Bob, go the electric. Jeff Marcus welcome, Jeff Earth
to Jeff Earth to Jeff Yeah in.

Speaker 13 (15:10):
Marcus, Yeah, hi mate, Yeah, listen. If you're not going
to support the All Blacks, don't quanticize them. Okay, don't
want a lot of games. When I wasn't such a
very good game.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Chef, Chief people, chief people. Could we have freedom of speech.
People can do whatever they want. There's no rules to
support there's no rules to support a team. There'll be people,
there be people out there be people in this country,
in this country New Zealand that will be going to
the t A B today to be picking up money
because if backed Argentina to win, that's what sports building's

(15:47):
done to us. People will be backing Argentina and collecting
on it. How would they feel?

Speaker 13 (15:53):
Yeah, but we saw beat them in one game and
they bade us in one game.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, but did we did we play for it? Did
we play? Did you actually watch the did you watch
the game?

Speaker 13 (16:04):
Chief one of the slip down.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
You come, you're coming a bit hot? Did you watch
the game?

Speaker 14 (16:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I did?

Speaker 13 (16:13):
The most over player, I Reckon as Bowden Barrett. I
didn't see any action with him very much in the game,
and I was kicking was atrocious, absolutely to kick those
balls over between those two goal posts. He was totally
useless whole game over?

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Did you every one of them? Did you watch the
Can you actually hear me? Jief? Every time I start talking,
you jump in?

Speaker 13 (16:50):
What's that?

Speaker 7 (16:50):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 15 (16:55):
Well?

Speaker 13 (16:55):
I can hear, but it's a bit echoing on my
phone at the moment I'm trying to do.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
What's your set up?

Speaker 6 (17:02):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's your set up?

Speaker 13 (17:05):
What's my I set up?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
With your phone? What are you picking, Well, I was.

Speaker 13 (17:11):
It's just a mister bushy iPhone, you know, it's just
just a cell phone on speaker, Yeah, on a speaker.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Put it on, Put it on, put it to speak
right into the piece of be better.

Speaker 13 (17:24):
Because because i'll hear airy airing aids, I've got to.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Have I apologize, yeer Okay, So yeah, I'm going to
talk about now I'm going to ask you something.

Speaker 13 (17:39):
But I was really I'll tell you what.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
I reckon.

Speaker 13 (17:43):
M kicked all those cacks over and I reckon that
Boden beartt was a big letdown, major letdown.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
I reckon, Can I shot a little bit talk?

Speaker 13 (17:57):
It might sound a bit critical, but I think in
the next game against South Africa, I reckon they should
want Bowden Baron and McKenzie on and let mackenzie do
the kicking.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh can you can you can? You can you hear me?

Speaker 13 (18:18):
Yeah? Okay hardly.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Do you think they should present the caps for the
hundredth game before the match because that looked depressing, didn't it.

Speaker 13 (18:31):
Sorry say that again?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Okay? Yeah yeah, maybe not today, Jeff, But yeah, I
thought that was the real shame was for Old the
hundredth tests for Cody Taylor and to have him with
one of the long faces. Maybe they could have done
that before the match, because that looked terrible. I think
it's family'd gone over.

Speaker 16 (18:51):
There for that.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Also. Still they give them those funny little caps. Say
that's weird, and I don't know what you do with those.
I supposed to give the old club. Unbolt your seat
and put it in the sun, or you can't. Or
it can be illegal to leave your vehicles running unattended. Wow,
could lead to theft. It's probably gone already. Get in touch,

(19:11):
Marcus till twelve. It's rugby and drying cars, David Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 17 (19:18):
Okay Marcus. A couple of points. One on the rugby,
one in the league. I talked to you the other
night about the I was back in the Broncos, you know,
as a savings account, and well that has paid off.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Oh song, hang hang on to you beg them? You've
begged them every week for the top eight for the
whole season, haven't you.

Speaker 17 (19:42):
That's you're just trying to recall. Yeah, it was a
few nights to go.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, how much and how much funny did you make?

Speaker 17 (19:48):
It's about a grand there.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I think something like that, but you see it more
as a savings plan, don't you.

Speaker 17 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just put a lot of one in
every week and it's untouchable.

Speaker 18 (19:59):
And you know that very low was.

Speaker 17 (20:01):
It's not a huge profit, but it's untouchable. So that's
worked out for me. I get paid out in a
better week and a half.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Because you use you're using the tab as your bank account,
aren't you.

Speaker 17 (20:10):
That's right, Yeah, but don't tell, don't tell anyone. Yeah, okay,
Well it's legal, isn't it. Oh yeah, completely legal, And
people just can't understand what I'm up to. But I
just say, well, it makes perfect sense. It's it's untouchable.
And you know, because I don't think with banks and that,

(20:32):
I don't think you can put money in a bank
and without it's always accessible somehow, I think, Oh I.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
See, I see, so okay, because you can't. So you
can't get it till the end of the year, once
you've gotten the time. Okay, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 8 (20:45):
Yeah, but anyway, so.

Speaker 17 (20:47):
The point being with the league is the Broncos will
make the top eight now, so that'll pay out in
a couple of weeks better grands.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
So I have to think I want I wonder who
Brandon Smith was betting on?

Speaker 19 (21:01):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Did you see that Brandon Smith has been has been
arrested or charged with sports bedding?

Speaker 17 (21:09):
Oh, I don't hear about that.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's just come through today. I'm not quite sure, but
that would throw more cloud into sports bedding. Were bedding
in sports? I'm not quite Jimmy, of course. Why Hicky's finals.
I quite like him as a person. He's always got
on the chet shows. But yeah, he's in trouble for that.
They were rested him when they went up to play
when the Rebulas went up to play in Gold Coast
last week. I think it was so. I don't quite

(21:34):
know what the charges are at the stage, but yeah,
it's question once he got off the plane. But anyway,
nice to hear from your David thing. You're twenty seven
away from nine. Hold your horses back soon, Calvin Marcus. Welcome,
good evening, very good evening.

Speaker 20 (21:49):
To your Marcus. If I may very briefly on water
and you can, and briefly on that rugby score. In
ninety sixty six I bought a two year old helm
and Imp. They're a bit like a little mini motors.

Speaker 17 (22:02):
At the back.

Speaker 20 (22:02):
Anyway, Ad maccarr parked outside the street like everybody else
did at work at that stage, and the old water
flooded the streets by about three hundred millimeters around about
a foot high. Three hundred millimeters and anyway, I had
come in under the floor, and because there's a couple
of round plastic bugs on the floor under the carpet,

(22:26):
and that's when I discovered it was all wet. So
I sponge it out with a dry towel a couple
of times, and I unscrewed a couple of the carpet screws,
put a couple of slats of timber under the carpet
so the air could get there. And also I glued
the two little plastic bun bungs back and rather than

(22:48):
having them floating around and left your car windows down
us a little bit and let it just naturally dry.
It took about a week because I was using it
to go to work every day, and it came all good.
So there was okay there with that Rugby score.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Margas, hang on, can I just pause you there, Calvin? Yeah,
I didn't know the IMP's engine was in the back.

Speaker 20 (23:13):
Yes, made in Scotland, and assembled in Wellington.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
There aren't many cars that have got the unfamiliar with
the Volkswagen Beet and the Carmen Gear. I didn't know
any others.

Speaker 20 (23:24):
Well, most of the big time in recent decades, in fact,
of the big time racing cars.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Okay, I think the the DeLorean had the engine in.

Speaker 20 (23:35):
The back, did it No, I don't know. But my
little HOMONYMP was fantastic, good to watch. What because it
was low, the roof was low anyway, hang on after
thirteen years.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Terrible looking car. You say it was like a mini,
but it didn't look anything. It didn't have the class
of them, and it was kind of anyway.

Speaker 20 (23:54):
Now it had the proper shape of a motor car,
had the bonnet shape in the front, but that was
actually the boot and it had the boot shape at
the back where the motor was. So it had the
same shape my present day eighty four Tellsta. So it
was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Terrible terrible colors too, like two.

Speaker 20 (24:16):
Wine of sunglow gold, sunglow gold like a cream color.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Beautiful before hang on, McKelvin, before you get onto the
all black score. Right, yeah, do you know what happened
in Hamilton this day?

Speaker 20 (24:26):
In nineteen forty eight, probably a tornado in Franklin killed three.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, that's this day, nineteen forty eight. Were you there?

Speaker 20 (24:34):
Yeah, I was living out in a farm with appearents
that the family at Pokiar Tour which is between Tao
Mudu and Patu, and we came in one day to
have a look. We come down Lake Road overlooking Frankton
and a lot of the house roofs had railway tarre
poland strung over them, and the whole general shop shopping

(24:57):
area of Frankton, excuse me, was looked like a bomb site.
What you see on your nightly tea news from overseas,
from present day overseas, that's what it looked like. Was incredible,
hard to believe. Really, three people were cool, as you said, Yeah,
so I saw all that. The twenty fifth of August.

Speaker 12 (25:23):
Score.

Speaker 20 (25:24):
Yeah, now the All Blacks score, and one says that
score forgetting about when the All Blacks were thirteen and
the it was six to Argentina. But the Argentina went
from scoring six up to twenty six. They got a
couple of scores in between that. But what I'm getting

(25:45):
at is that the All Blacks, the Argentina team went
from six to twenty six. That's twenty unanswered point by
the All Blacks. Whether that last happened, I can't recall.
It must have been a long time ago. Twenty points
by an opposition to the All Blacks.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I think people have had it quite well, haven't they.
Normally there's once upon a time the Allbacks lost to
the team that they're meant to win, and it was
the end of the world. But people seem to be
quite resigned to it.

Speaker 20 (26:14):
Well, they it was the end of their world as
far as I was concerned. When they would not stop expectorating. Yeah,
so they just care I put the curse on.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
I've ever noticed the refs are expectorating now a lot more,
which I think is surprising.

Speaker 20 (26:28):
Yeah, very very catchy. But I prefer watching the rugby
which the women play. It's a fantasic because I like
watching it, not because they're women, but the style of rugby.
It's fantastic. It really it really cheers you up.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, I reckon, I agree with you there, Calvin, thank
you for that, and and all the all their off
camera stuff they're doing as well. They're all sort of
singing the whole time. Aren't. They're on YouTube and they're singing,
they're doing dancers. They seem to be enjoying a lot
more Calvin if I could say that they reckoned Ruby
too has been one of the discoveries. She's in the
commentary box for BBC Orthough. There was a slightly snide

(27:14):
column that one of the writers for one of the
Tory paper papers had written about her and and the
critical of he address for being her outfit for being unseasonal,
which I thought was slightly a weird thing to say,
and I thought, yeah, that's England for you. Was taking
a subtle potshot anyway. Yeah, by the way, too, I

(27:35):
reckon that'll get old sports talk clean to the all
blacks that we're talking about sports betting with sports stars. Well,
you know that's always going to be the rest, isn't it?
Cheap as creepers like you? Didn't see that coming. Murdoch
Marcus welcome, Yeah him, Murdoch, good evening, Welcome.

Speaker 16 (27:54):
Before we started. I'm say you drove a Hillman.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
They din't even They made the mini look kind of substantial,
didn't they.

Speaker 16 (28:08):
Terrible car?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Terrible car? Who would have who would have bought them?
Besides gl glfendu would it would have brought them?

Speaker 16 (28:16):
No one? Yeah, yeah, it's all the car you get
given the by I think, yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, you get given one, you get given one, but
I don't even Yeah.

Speaker 16 (28:23):
But then even then, my parents tried to give me
a Riley Elf and I turned that one down.

Speaker 21 (28:28):
That's kind of looking.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
I have to have a look at that. The Riley
Elf is like a very similar to even more money,
like is it?

Speaker 19 (28:35):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (28:36):
Yes, yes, yeah, oh yeah, yeah you go.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
It was weird because the Mini comes straight back at
the back, but the ELF's got that tiny but jutting
out That just looks wrong, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (28:48):
No, the money was leaps bounds ahead of the all departments. Really,
you couldn't drive down south.

Speaker 8 (28:56):
You have no no, no fear.

Speaker 22 (29:00):
But what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
What does that mean? Mood?

Speaker 16 (29:03):
Oh no, If I show up at the Forge night
club and.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
A ride of it, we'd park it around the corner,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 16 (29:10):
Yeah, yeah, there's the old man's A second class ride
has been a first class.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Walk, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 16 (29:16):
Yeah. But have you got to b why d your car?
Electric car?

Speaker 22 (29:20):
No?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
No, no, I'm going to be I've just got some
I could never remember I could remember the brand of
the car, and people always get surprised, but I wouldn't
know the brand of the car is. But anyway, it's
just your book, it's just your box stand at STUV,
I think.

Speaker 16 (29:33):
Yeah, but you're if you've got the heater on. Now,
have you got the got vast experience about getting cars
and situations that shouldn't be But have you got the
heater and recycle or have you got it sucking in
from the outside.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Of sucking in for the outside. Yeah, it's having on recycled.

Speaker 16 (29:51):
No, No, it's from the outside. But it won't really
pretty much do anything on what I've shown from experience.
But basically, you know, it's just a sunny day, open
the doors, I leave it. It'll sort of sow about.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Really, yeah, I thought that must happen. It must happen
fairly offered with cars, mustn't it.

Speaker 16 (30:03):
Yeah, you know what a Bentley flying spirits?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
It sounds like a medical condition, but it's I'm sure
it's not well Bentley.

Speaker 16 (30:11):
Flying, Big Bentley big even look at that one. That's
whole opposite to film and GM but big old Bentley.
But they were used to call them the flying spa
the night used to buy them, but they they leak
and we are Yeah, they used to fill up the
whole car with it, but.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
It's yeah, what do you mean, what do you mean
they leaked?

Speaker 3 (30:31):
What are you saying they did?

Speaker 22 (30:32):
Well?

Speaker 16 (30:32):
Then the sun roof for what happens when a car
when it rains, cars have like these little drip lines
that go behind your pillars and they get told up
and then you're not with Oh yeah, there's the whole
car is basically a swimming pool.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
So it was a terrible car, the Flying spa Ah.

Speaker 16 (30:48):
When it first came out, it was a was a
beautiful car. But now, yeah, they know, some people probably
rather have the old Riley than those. These days, you
can't give them away.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
If you have a Rolls Royce, you've got troubles getting
them serviced. Heaven you you got to take them to aalkland,
is that right?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (31:03):
And the people their own Rolls Royces, they're yeah, I
don't know what the word for them is. They're incredibly
Bedand so.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
You couldn't have one. I never thought of buying one.
But you couldn't have one in the South Island, could you,
because you couldn't get it serviced.

Speaker 16 (31:17):
Oh no, I mean the older ones, like I mean,
you could probably buy four old Rolls Royces for you
what your card's worth, but you can't give the things away.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yes, but that's right. But if you if you put
a new Rolls Royce right in the South Island, you'd
have to take you to Auckland to be serviced.

Speaker 16 (31:31):
Right, Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, there are agents down there. But
you're those newer ones. Yeah, you're incredibly expective.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
And crewy hard.

Speaker 16 (31:37):
You know, the older ones and the older ones better,
great ghosts and all those old sort of old classics,
you know, beautiful car But my mate that buys the
South cards that no one wants it, you know, great shame.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
So yeah, can you sell them back to England?

Speaker 16 (31:54):
No, there's more of them over there than there is here.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah, that'd be right to No, what about as Japan
into the Mutina roads too narrow?

Speaker 16 (32:00):
Ah Yeah, no, no, that's and you pay mess with
duty sending that to the stuff over there. It's all
one way street from Japan.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
I suppose Japans for Japan's pubby going quite crazy for
the Hilme and Gimpal. They now that sort of thing, I'll.

Speaker 16 (32:13):
Tell you what they would They would go crazy over it.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, okay, it's crazy thing with cars. The the better
it seems for Japan. I love the angliers. I think
just to clarify Calvin's point against South Africa in two
thousand and four, that was it. That was in South Africa,
wasn't Dan July two thousand and four, the Allbecks conceded

(32:39):
twenty seven answered points at Ellis Park in a Tri
Nations match, losing forty to twenty six. So we have lost.
We have been beaten with amNY unanswered points before nine
away from nine Louis as Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 23 (32:56):
Marcus, Hello, have you locked up chat GPT?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Oh goodness me, we's been half our life on chet GPT.

Speaker 23 (33:04):
What's overview?

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (33:07):
Right?

Speaker 23 (33:08):
So steps to drying out wet car feet soak up
as much as possible immediately using clean towels, paper towels,
and then they suggest a wet dry vacuum next, because
it's to get all the deeper from the deeper layers
with the foam, so you can you can get used there.
If you can get ahold of one of those, you
might want to hire one and then flow and heat

(33:31):
and you put a pointer fan or a portable heater
on low to medium, and then overnight play baking soda
over the damp aia, then vacuum it up. That'll absorb
a lot of moisture, and then check for a damp smell,
and then if it has, you can use something like

(33:52):
a fabric thing to freshen it up. And it says
with fans and a wet vat would take about twelve
to twenty four hours drying time without special equipment, just
towels and air two to three days.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Did say what about a hot sunny day?

Speaker 9 (34:11):
No?

Speaker 23 (34:11):
But is that's what I was thinking?

Speaker 22 (34:13):
Actually?

Speaker 23 (34:14):
Would you be confident enough to unscrew the seat and
put them outside?

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yes? No, I like the way you asked that, Louise.
Will I be confident enough or stupid enough?

Speaker 23 (34:29):
Oh no, it's it'd be perfectly good if you don't
need to.

Speaker 24 (34:32):
Use the vehicle.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
So, yes, it's illegal something it's illegal to drive a
car without a seat.

Speaker 23 (34:38):
Oh well, I was assuming you wouldn't be driving it.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
But no, it's not.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
It's not my seat, it's the passenger seat.

Speaker 24 (34:45):
Yeah, but do you need your car?

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Not really, but I would. I was more curious though,
why you aren't allowed to drive it with the seat out?

Speaker 23 (34:52):
Yeah, well, perhaps hazardous for the back seat passenger if
you someone in the back.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah, do you talk into it? You've got to type
it us chet GPT. Oh no, I'll do that myself. Louise,
thank you. Haven't got to any of the texts. But
it's made for an action pack next to hour, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
What do you think the positive things to come out
of the all black gloss? Are there anything that's really
really positive? Be curious to do what you've got to
say about that? Oh eight hundred eighty ten eightyan nine
two nine two to text, Marcus till twelve that's me
or Mighty Apes in trouble King Kong sized right down

(35:41):
after website upgrade. Always had quite a good experience with
Mighty Ape. Anyway, do get in touch if you want
to talk Heit till twelve o'clock to my My name
is Marcus. Welcome, Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nineteen nine two to text if you want to come through,
looking forward to you and puts tonight. I'll take one

(36:01):
more call before the news too. How did Kelvin get
his elf? W I kind of was sort of reading
when he said riley Elf was taknway No. I was
actually final when he said riley Elf. It was when
he said that they had the engine in the back
hang about that's uncommon. There's many jokes about that with

(36:24):
cars with the engine in the book. Do you know
those jokes? Many a joke about that, all on the
same kind of a thing. I forget how the actual
joke goes. I can tell it to you. Woman stops

(36:46):
the side of the road. A woman's got a Volkswagen
Beetle block breaks down the side of the road, doesn't
what to do. She has no phone signal, doesn't see
any cars. She feels stranded. Twenty minutes later, she sees
the car in the distance, but it doesn't stop. Neither
is the next one. She's distraught. Then, after much waiting,
she sees the carr it's a VW Beetle as well.
The drivers next to. A man gets out and says,

(37:08):
I couldn't let a fellow Volkswagen driver a strand, and
let me see what I can do. He goes over
to the car, checks it out, pops open the hodd
and says, ah, I see the problem you're missing the engine.
Oh no, the woman exclaimed, surprised, singing how could she
have lost it? The road was bumpy, But you're in
luck though, that though, says the man over spear in
my trunk. Yeah, terribly told by me. But that's kind

(37:30):
of the gust, just gust. Just that's the gist of
the Volkswagen jokes that someone thinks he've lost the engine,
the others think they got a spear at the back.
It probably works for a Riley Elf, but I think
with a Riley Elf, you need to explain to people
per beforehand that they've got no engine in the front.
Surprised that the Dolorean had the engine in the back. Yeah,

(37:55):
didn't really deal with that. I'm back to the future.
Did they do get in touching on talking to My
name is Marcus, Welcome head twelve o'clock. Don't know what's
in the front. Maybe that is how it works on
Back to the Future, that that's where all the kitten
kerboodlers are out of the back of the car. So
maybe they are alluding to that. Here'll twelve if you
want to be a part of the show. We are

(38:17):
talking the positives from the All Black Match. Just think
of some positives and tell me the times you've flooded
the car. I'm sure there's some great flooded car stories.
Sure there's some great flooded cat The worst thing is
spill in the car is petrol. If you like got
your petrol fear weed eat or something and you've lived
in the car and it's spilt, well, that takes a
long time to get that. It's not good. Someone says

(38:42):
they used a de worming tablet from Countow and what
four homo imp stories. I've even got a story about
homo imp and why he need a So I'll tell
you about that in a sec here till twelve. That's
how I like it. The number is eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine to nine to the text has
been a meltdown at the tennis and New York. This

(39:04):
is in New York. Since I said that, I'm never
quite sure. Yeah there is with Medvedev has smashed up
its racket be as a photographer came on at match
point and interrupted the whole proceedings. Anyway, so it looks bizarre.
Don't watch it. It's quite disturbing anyway. And that's happening.

(39:26):
So you descend into chaos. I think it's just happened
or Sunday night, they are saying. But anyway, that's the
situation there we are talking about the Hilman impact was
at the impule of the earth, the Hilman IMPI I think,
and talking about cars with engines in the back, because
it makes more sense to have the weight and the
power in the back, doesn't it. Am I right there?

(39:49):
Didn't know the DeLorean. But getting up by the way,
very challenging for you, Nina. Of course, when tennis comes along,
there's always a tricky one, isn't It gets very complicated
very quickly. I think Medvedev lost that. There we go,
it's match point and lost. Jeepers a and it's Marcus.
Good evening, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 22 (40:10):
In the mid nineteen sixties, a little car came out
which was called the Helmet imp and it had a
rare engine and in the front bonnet under the bonnet
that was the boot.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
It's weird, isn't it?

Speaker 22 (40:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Did you have one?

Speaker 22 (40:32):
It was the first car we board. Wow, after we
married that we saved up and bought it. It was
eight hundred pounds new And what year was that about?
Sixty four okay, because my son son was born in
sixty one, you would have been about sixty four or

(40:55):
sixty five.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
And where did you buy it from? Anne bought from.

Speaker 22 (41:01):
South auckl Motus at Manicau Manu, he writ in those days, Yeah, sure,
well we called them Albi barba and the forty seve.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
How long did you keep How long did the car last?
How long did you have it for?

Speaker 22 (41:22):
We had it for about four years until we trade
it up to a hill and hunter.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Okay, wow, did you did you do any long trips
in it?

Speaker 24 (41:33):
No?

Speaker 22 (41:34):
We went with it was rosa or white tangy.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Okay, that's good. That's two good stretches.

Speaker 22 (41:42):
We had my brother in law from England and we
showed him as much as we possibly could during his disthre.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
I suppose it was always. I suppose there was a
conversation starter when you're when you're booking, when you're checking
to we're going to stay, and you open the front
bottom and get your suitcases out. People must look surprised.

Speaker 22 (42:04):
We went on day trips.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Oh, okay, I wouldn't had your luggage in the front then.

Speaker 22 (42:10):
No, we just used to take up a pet lunch brilliant.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
What color was it? What color was it? Inn It's
a screen and it was two draw brilliant.

Speaker 22 (42:23):
And we had a name for it. We called it
our mantic car pets brilliant.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Glad to hear, thanks so much. To that end, we're
talking about cars with the engines in the back. Long
may it last, Tony Marcus.

Speaker 14 (42:37):
Welcome by good evening.

Speaker 9 (42:39):
Marcus. You've read me up told you about cars. They
yeah specialized in volkswagons for many many years, the engine
over the rear driving wheels, and they could go anywhere
that most other buggies on the beach and that the
river bed could not go. But just a quick aside.

(43:05):
I'm in the pro during the winter months of rebuilding
my one O five, the Anglia. She's got a four
to seven eight in her. But over the years, over
the last couple of years that I've raised it and
dragged it, the spot welds.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
Letting go.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
When I dropped the clutch and the whole body twists
and lifts the right front wheel off the ground about
nine inches or so, and it's twisting the whole body
in the spot well to letting go. So I've purchased
another donor body and got her on the road Tissri
and strengthening the whole thing a new Chessey, lengthening the

(43:52):
body by eighteen inches and widening it by twelve inches.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
Wow, it's a look good.

Speaker 9 (43:59):
A total rebuild for the there were one o five.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Could you tell me something please, for someone that's got
a carpets and right? Yeah, why would a car with
an engine in the back be better on beaches?

Speaker 9 (44:15):
Well, as long as you've got smooth tires. If you've
got lug tires, they will dig into the sand. Those
smooth tires they will roll over the top of the sand.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
So as an advantage on beaches, I suppose it's advantage
to have weight at the back. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 9 (44:36):
Yes, oh, yes, yes, okay, that's.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
The obvious thing I was looking for. Thank you, Tony goodness. No,
that's the For those that don't know what the one
o five Angler is, that's the car they have hogwarts.
Well it's you know, lady Laddi Lah came back into
fashion after those books books. Marcus the Imp had colling issues.

(45:02):
Originally the engine was Coventry Climax free pump engine. No,
Originally the engine was Coventry Climax fire pump engine. Pretty
sure that Riley Elf was just a flesh Mini. Was
a helmet imp with the motor in the rear. I

(45:25):
spent part of Waheni day in a him and Imp
in Palmerston, North Through I was six. I can vividly
remember the car rocking back and forth in the window
of the traffic lights. Was a fabulous car. Marcus, the best,
David Marcus. My first car was a Simpka one thousand
French car with the motor in the back. Chairs and Marcus,
be careful your corsin overeat while running idle. Mmm, he

(45:50):
had a Mitsubishi iPhone. Never know that it's he had
a Mitsubishi iPhone? Didn't he? Did Mitsubishi do a phone?
It wasn't a very good phone anyway. Wasn't the Mitsubishi
iPhone of good that it's come up with a car?
By the way. The good thing about the All Blacks loss.

(46:13):
Four things about the All Blacks loss, which are good.
A loss can be a powerful motivator. It forces attempt
to confront weaknesses and identify areas for improvement. Particularly relevant
for the All Blacks. When a strong winning streak and Argentina.
The loss to a patient will to drilled puma sides
highlights deficiencies and discipline, particularly with three l low cards
and struggle under high wall. Provides a clear grupant for

(46:36):
the coaching staff and players to address these issues. Two
a chance to regroup. The defeat comes at a crucial time,
just before a monumental two test series against the formidable
spring Box. The loss will create a bit of pain
and a period of introspective for the squad. As noted
by Captain Scott Barrett, this can sharpen their focus and intensity,
leading to a more determined and polished performance against their
fiercest rival. Three. Elevating the competition the historic wind for

(47:00):
Argentinas with a fantastic story for global rugby. It shows
the closing gap between the top ten nations and the
increasing competitiveness of the game. A more unpredictable and exciting
rugby championships is good for the sport as a whole.
For testing leadership, the defeat puts a spot on the
leadership of Scott robertson Captain Scott Barrett. How they rally

(47:20):
the team, fixed the technical floors and prepare for the
exchange will be a true test of their metal and
could to define the direction of the team season. What's
that called dan? It's called chat something, isn't it? What's
that dance? Not chet GPT, it's chat that's on Gemini,
which is Google's AI. They came up with that and

(47:41):
I concur with all of it. Nineteen past nine, Lois,
this is Marcus, Welcome. What would you like to talk about, Lois?

Speaker 12 (47:50):
What do you think, Marcus? What do you think about netball?

Speaker 16 (47:58):
Now?

Speaker 12 (47:58):
I don't know what you've been talking about, Marcus. I've
been busy tonight.

Speaker 25 (48:03):
I'm so.

Speaker 12 (48:03):
I haven't got a clue what you've been talking about
that break is you've been talking about the rugby.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Yeah, yeah, amongst other things people and yeah, we are
talking about the rugby. And I couldn't tell you what
the start of the nation is lowest, but tell me
what your thoughts were after that match.

Speaker 12 (48:22):
I was all for them, I'm god, please, Argentina one.
You knew that, though, didn't you, because because that's plain
right where I wanted to go, because that's another nail
in Robinson's coffin.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
What did you think of the Orbacks performance?

Speaker 24 (48:45):
No?

Speaker 12 (48:45):
Terrible, terrible, terrible, they're better than that. And I see
sardi Ardie Charby is walking away from the All Breaks.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
I don't think it's working away. He's got an offer,
he's he's got an offer from Too Long or something,
which is one of the greatest offers ever in rugby.
So yeah, I don't regret.

Speaker 12 (49:02):
Yeah, he'll go, he'll go. I'd go for a million
dollars a year too. Not that I've been much good
for them, but in the mind.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
But didn't look like they're enjoying it much, did that.
I felt sorry for the guy that got one hundred
caps at the end of it, that looked miserable.

Speaker 12 (49:18):
Yeah, well that's a shame for him. I did sorry
for him. But that Boden Barrett, he shouldn't be there.
He shouldn't have been there. If Voden Bear ahead of
hadn't have missed those kicks, we might have won that game.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
It's kind of arrogant because I've always thought we don't
need kicks. With better than that would always win through tries.
So always kicks has been sort of just something isn't
head on. I've always thought with the All Blacks, I
think they think drop kicks and penalty kicks is an
undignified way to win matches.

Speaker 12 (49:44):
They get paid, They get paid about four hundred and
thousand dollars to both be an all break well, they're
not getting paid to get out there and missed to mate?
Well sank she putting thanks, she putting Boden Barret ahead
of Damian Mackenzie. How many brains would you have?

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Did you? It was a shame. We couldn't see Scott
Robertson during the match in his little box, could we?

Speaker 12 (50:11):
No, they didn't show him today, not once. No, no,
And I didn't say. I suppose he came on and
spoke after, but I didn't wait.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Und plants to plants, to trees to plant. But the
coach wasn't not the coach wasn't on the field, Lowers,
How much blame could you could you put with the
coach all of it?

Speaker 12 (50:34):
Yes, Yes, he's that was going to be magic man
waved the one. He was going to win everything. And
and it's amazing now on Facebook, I was going through
just looking at Facebook. A lot of people are agreeing
my way now, calling for his resignation and he shouldn't

(50:57):
be there, and and even the captain they're going some
of them are going. He shouldn't be there either. I
mean he should be there, he should be here as
a player, but he shouldn't be the captain.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
But you never thought that Scott Robinson should have had
to go anywhere. You've hated him from day one, haven't
you have?

Speaker 12 (51:21):
And I'll never change my mind. I still say by
the end of the rugby season, you know we've got
some big games coming up the spring box at taven
I reckon Australia or but I reckon Australia will give
us air own for our money too.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
Well.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
They're fun to watch Australians. They play with such joy.

Speaker 12 (51:40):
Yeah yeah, and they've got the guy that's coaching Australia
is the guy that should be coaching the All Blecks.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
You're not putting money on the tab on Argentina? Are
you not beating against the All Blecks?

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Are you?

Speaker 12 (51:52):
I don't put money anyway, I don't.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
I don't even buy a lot of yeah fair enough, nor.

Speaker 9 (51:59):
Do I.

Speaker 12 (52:01):
Occasionally I do well nits up to about I get
but greedy when it gets you and I either.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Save us reluctant game was when it gets up to
fifty million, we think we'll have a bit of that
and give it away.

Speaker 12 (52:11):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
If I wouldn't. If I wouldn't, Lois, I'll give you
some too, by the way.

Speaker 12 (52:17):
Oh that'll be nice.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Hey, were you cheering for Argentina?

Speaker 12 (52:23):
Yes, I'm here. I'm here in my little and my
little beds at where I live, my TV and nobody's here,
and I'm going I will like to say what I'm saying,
but I'm yelling at the screen.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
What are you yelling?

Speaker 16 (52:41):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (52:42):
Yeah, go you go. You won't say the because I'm
allowed on the radio. I'm not allowed to say it.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
You haven't lost your love of rugby though, have you, Lois?

Speaker 12 (52:52):
No, No, no, no, well don't. I wouldn't say I
love it, you know, because you know years ago. No, no,
I'm going there. And they've played the rugby balls today
they played rugby with a basketball. It couldn't bounce the
bloody ball. When the with Colin League was in the

(53:15):
in the All Brecks, it was a lither ball.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
The bulls to bouncy.

Speaker 12 (53:24):
Well, it shouldn't be a pig.

Speaker 26 (53:26):
That should be a rick.

Speaker 23 (53:29):
Ball.

Speaker 12 (53:29):
But they don't need them now, famous you got board
a knickball. When I was a kid for liver one.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Who wins the champions Cup or whatever it's called.

Speaker 12 (53:41):
What champions Cup?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Well, what we're in with the South Africa and the
Australian and Argentina. Who wins that? Let's asp No, the
one that's about the four teams? They go for it
every year. The Rugby Championship.

Speaker 16 (53:54):
Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Do you think Australia is going to win it?

Speaker 12 (54:00):
I think I think now I'm going this is a
big thing. Now I'm going to say probably get in
the poo, But in mind I think that Australia will
be in the top four for the World Cup.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Don't disagree? Hey, Lois what Facebook page? Are you going
on winding them up?

Speaker 6 (54:23):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (54:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (54:24):
I don't know how to do what Facebook page. I
just go on Facebook and.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
And go through and you find something about the all
becks and then you get in there and start commenting.
Is it how it works?

Speaker 23 (54:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (54:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
A pretty good summation about how Facebook works. Low us Great, Okay,
do you reckon? I'll stick with Scott Robertson.

Speaker 14 (54:42):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 16 (54:43):
Do I reckon?

Speaker 4 (54:44):
They will?

Speaker 9 (54:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (54:46):
Well no, yes, I think they will well, and I
think they will, but I don't think they should.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
It's not going to work out.

Speaker 12 (54:55):
He's not going to work out, now, Okay.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
We've said that all along, as long as I've talked
to you last you've always said that.

Speaker 21 (55:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (55:03):
I didn't think it was any good from day one.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
No, no, no, But in time, will tell Marcus you've
been consistent. They're good luck with Loto, Lois, Marcus. The
ullbeck away possession, fumbled past the gaveway points on conversion,
pretty opportunities. Robinson hasn't got a clue what he's doing
classic is anything. Of course. What people are doing, first

(55:27):
and foremost is mispronouncing his name, which is interesting. We
normally do it with politicians. I think it's Robinson. I
think it's Robertson. But thanks, Lois, Graham, Good evening, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 27 (55:42):
Yes, good evening, Marcus. It's Graham from Parmis to north here.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
Hi Graham.

Speaker 27 (55:47):
Good, I'm good.

Speaker 23 (55:48):
Now are you?

Speaker 21 (55:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Good? Thank you?

Speaker 15 (55:49):
Graham?

Speaker 3 (55:49):
All good?

Speaker 27 (55:50):
Okay, Look are ringing up about the cars with the
motor at the back?

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Yes?

Speaker 27 (55:56):
And has anybody mentioned the Reynolds.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
No, which one?

Speaker 27 (56:02):
Well, they were literally they had I don't know about
nineteen fifty five or something like that. They were they
were added. There were only I'm sure there were only
two doors. They had had a motor in the back,
and I think the two front doors opened out the
other way. Really yep, there were little wee things like

(56:26):
the shape of the beatles, but they're a lot smaller.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Can't work out what that would have been.

Speaker 27 (56:32):
Well, there were Reynolds they were called There were Renolds.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Did you have one?

Speaker 22 (56:36):
No?

Speaker 27 (56:37):
No, no, my mate had one. We used to go
shooting and a rabbit shooting out out the flockhouse in
that year.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Did you go to flock house?

Speaker 13 (56:45):
No?

Speaker 18 (56:45):
No, no, cos no.

Speaker 27 (56:47):
I was born in nineteen thirty nine. I got kicked
down of school for doing what oye no know? For
being the smart ice.

Speaker 26 (56:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Sorry, you think they would have told you where you
kicked out? Did you shoot the rabbits from the car?

Speaker 4 (57:01):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 27 (57:02):
There was plenty of rabbits in those days though, yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
Threey of rabbits now well put rabbits now also Graham.

Speaker 27 (57:09):
But yeah, a lot of them got that mixed metsius though,
I think not sign them down though, was it well,
I don't think so there's I don't think there's many
roundom parmers to the north.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
I think they've got the Kalisi virus.

Speaker 19 (57:23):
Haven't they.

Speaker 27 (57:24):
Yeah, that's it, that's the pol virus.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Just to one. I think it's I think it's I
think it's the Reno eight or the Renau Dauphine.

Speaker 22 (57:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (57:33):
It might be the eight.

Speaker 22 (57:35):
I don't know. It was.

Speaker 27 (57:36):
Yeah, it had a moture in the back.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Terrible looking thing.

Speaker 27 (57:41):
Yeah, the Yeah, it was like it was a funny
looking thing. It had had the motor at the back
with a big and the back part had the hood
at the back or the thing at the back mostly
looked like a grill.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
Was it rounded or boxy?

Speaker 28 (57:57):
It was rounded.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Oh, that might be the Renau Dauphine. It might have
been called something else here we'll find out. Although I
can't see a t door. You said it was a
two or Graham.

Speaker 27 (58:07):
I thought, well, I thought they were two doors. I'm
sure they were two doors because you had to get
in the front door and lift the front feed up
to get into the back.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Sounds like a two door. Thanks Graham. Hap past nine
any headlines, please, welcome to the show. I don't know
which the reno is with the engine in the back,
but well, I don't know which one he would have had.
It would be two two doors. Barrett gets eight hundred k,
Jordan gets seven hundred k, the two highest paid. I
didn't want to tell. I didn't want to tell Lois.
She was angry enough with them getting four hundred k.

(58:37):
Wouldn't want to go to say you could double that.
M Someone's asked what happens if the All Blacks lose
next time? Or nothing? Really the sunnel store rise. I
think what happens is people go on and on about
this Eden Park. Who doing the Fortress of Eden Park?
Which always fin I mean, I think they're sure they

(58:57):
I always getting a bit tired of going about the
fortress and stuff like that. But anyway, I don't think
it'd be a bad thing for the players if they
get if they lose them. Actually, I'm sure they could
get relaxed. Relaxed about that. By the way, they reckon
that bloke was confuses thinking about the fat five hundred.
But where's the engine of the FET five hundred? That's
not on the beck?

Speaker 22 (59:14):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Jinniett's Marcus welcome, Yes, just to put.

Speaker 29 (59:20):
A couple of things straight. I've had three Renaults. The
Renault R ten had the motor in the back and
it was a four door car, not a two door.
I had it for ten years.

Speaker 16 (59:33):
Wow.

Speaker 29 (59:35):
Then I had two twelves, two Renaud twelves which had
the motor in the front but the motor in the back,
the R ten, and that car, as my family always laughed,
my kids and said that. I always carried on about

(59:57):
how far that car had carried, how many children to
their hobbies? It was the Renauds were brilliant.

Speaker 9 (01:00:06):
Yeah, French cars.

Speaker 29 (01:00:08):
The French knew how to make champagne and cars.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
And no dramas, no dramas with the luggage in the front.

Speaker 29 (01:00:18):
No, no, there was plenty of room.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Yeah, no confusion course, So that was good. Once you
go off the ten, you went for the Renaud twelve.

Speaker 9 (01:00:28):
Is that right?

Speaker 13 (01:00:30):
I had?

Speaker 29 (01:00:31):
I went to a Reno twelve. I had two Reno twelves.
In fact, the cars. The first one, the Reno R ten,
My daughter and son in law ended up with that.
Then another son and another daugh from the son in
law ended up with my first twelve, and then the

(01:00:54):
second twelve, my knees sent it upwards. They all bought
so they yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
And they bought them. They bought them happily. When they
study your gin. If you're going to sell that car,
get me first club to buy it. They were good,
were good, Okay, nice stuff, Ginny, thank you. Right to
cars with engines in the back. Graham's car was a
red O four. Needy brought one in sixty eight, Scott
g How come all these people are psychic about what

(01:01:24):
Graham's car was? I don't know. The red O four
was a two door though, was it? Although we don't
know what they happened?

Speaker 20 (01:01:31):
And what you know?

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
It's international news. I'll bring that too, although the Auckland
Herald it's all about fashion week, which is fine for
some people and other people leaves them a bit cold.
There's a typhoon Kojiki has triggered mess e evacuations in Vietnam. Yep.
By the way, have I missed something? But there's no
more information about that tramp But that's gone missing on

(01:01:55):
the west coast, is there? Why has everyone gone silent
about that? That seems like it's some of this should
still be searching for surely. And one of the black
Ferns has been cleared of serious injury at the Cup.
Alson Baker's been cleared of a serious injury at the
Rugby World Cup. The ankle is not fractured. To me

(01:02:20):
by the way, too, TV indeed's gonna have a pay
TV channel to watch the FIFA World Cup, which is
next year. I imagine because we on this show had
a lot of problems when Spark took over the rights
to the last Rugby World Cup, wasn't it Dan? It
was a Rugby World Cup about two ago, is that right?

(01:02:43):
Twenty nineteen and everyone managed to upscale. People did quite well.
I imagine with this one. It's six years later. I
think for everyone to be a lot easier to get
it sorted out. You'll just buy a pass for the
rugby for the Football World Cup, the all white matches
will be streamed free. So first time if a TV
in did is charged viewers for content, they'll probably get

(01:03:07):
that sort of they'll start charging people to watch that
breakfast show that seems to be popular. Scott G says
the R four was a two suicide door job seven
fifty c c fulls on that also simplimated one thousand,
eleven hundred cc looked like the right SCOA made the
one one hour in the seventies. Marcus Potius to have
rear enginess opposed to other supercars which are midi engined,

(01:03:27):
like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Some American cars were rear injured,
like the Tucker Torpedo on the Schev cor Via. Yes,
Bambinda was rear injured. Gavin Canterbury, Marcus just tuned in.
Has anyone mentioned the Hilmet imp? I had one for
my first car. The engine in the bat was no problem,
good little car. I imagine it'd be more like is
theyone not mentioned the Hilman NYMP. We've never had a

(01:03:48):
show with so many Hillman imp callers. Lois's spot on
Robertson's running of ideas has always coached I with top
players to hide behind. Isn't a clue time for a
new AB coach. The All Blacks upcoming Eden Park game
technic should be afford games with zero box kicks because
we can't catch them. I don't know why we're so

(01:04:10):
poor at catching. I was thinking that before that maybe
some of those Argentina and kids played a different sport
when they were young, that was good at catching, it'd
all be football. It's free good at catching anyway. I'm
no arm chier expert. I just enjoyed the drama. I
enjoy the I mean, I've said this before. I know

(01:04:30):
you hate me for it. I love a match that's
undersided right till the end. I don't like a match
when the all backs are head thirty points at halftime.
It's just a cakewalk, a procession. Don't enjoy that, like
the drama of it. Here's something I meant to say this.
Here's something that you just need to text about this, right?

(01:04:53):
Who were the commentators in that match? I couldn't work
out who the main commentator was. I've heard that there
was I mean I could hear millsvillein and I could
hear you know, the other guy, but I couldn't work
out who the main commentator was. It got me confused that, well,
why have they changed all their commentators justin Marshall and
mills Billina who was the third voice there? I couldn't

(01:05:16):
find that information and I always annoys me. They don't
put picture of the commodos up at the beginning. Because
someone text me through that I had no idea who
it was because normally got a grant in this, but
either to Tony Johnson or you've got someone else. It
appeared to be none of those people. And I can't
work out why and why it wasn't announced Justin. I
thought Justin Marshals become quite good. But yeah, because some
texts me because I spent the whole I spent the

(01:05:38):
whole of the match without nagging feed and couldn't work
out who that third commentator was. I mean sure, it
just wasn't the two of them. I think those two
were just the comments people. Yeah, and it's always a
bit of a worry when they're commentating alway, because they
always sort of get a bit confident in the first
half and start saying sweep, sweeping generation statements of how

(01:05:59):
well we're doing. But yeah, you might want to comment
on that. Who was the commentator? I think anyone knows.
No one's texted me about that. Annoyed me a weekend
to not know who the answer that was anyway. Eighteen
away from eleven teen, Rother Craig.

Speaker 28 (01:06:15):
It's Marcus, welcome, good evening, has a game, good Craig,
you were saying about close games. I watched the white
Out of taranicky game on the weekend. It came down
tennis in the last minute. I was thinking that poor
guy kicking him. You know, you'd be like, I don't
want to miss this, but yeah, that was a close game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
You feel sorry for those kickers right at the end
when it's you know that wouldn't make or break because
it must be you know, the pressure must affect your
ability to do it.

Speaker 28 (01:06:44):
Especially when the ball fell over and had to reset
it and it already the ref was already counting down
the shot clock thing and it fell over head to
reset this thing and then kick it. I felt sorry
for that guy. I think that's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 9 (01:06:56):
But it was a good game.

Speaker 28 (01:06:58):
But yeah, I like the game. So they rather like
you don't really know what's going to win. It's a
bit worse than you get my teams playing ones like
twenty to thirty four ahead. That's not really I don't
find that it's so exciting to watch on the ones
that are really close when really don't know what's going
to Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Okay, appreciate that. Greig. Thanks for seventeen away from ten
o'clock markets. I don't know how I thought it was
seventy away from eleven lost an hour there somewhere anyway
get in touch. Someone said about Jeff Wilson was the
main compety. Okay, that makes sense. When did he get
that top gig. I'm not saying he's not capable of it,
but just realized that was the way it was going
to go. So yeah, I don't like the fact they

(01:07:35):
don't commentate overseas either. From the studio. I think it's
probably was better when they went off and they gave
you more of the atmosphere. But that's fine. I suppose
it's cost cutting. Oh that's been confirmed. So it's Jeff
mctage is the comedy this one. I didn't think. I
knew the guy, knew his voice, So yeah, I don't
know why they slipped him in there, because that was
sort of it was unlikely and I wasn't expecting him
to be there as the commentator, So there we go.

Speaker 16 (01:07:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
I don't know if he's I don't think he's an
next player. I think he's just well, I shouldn't say
just he's a broadcaster.

Speaker 22 (01:08:03):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
I think Jeff mctange was the main pronounce It was
on the screen momentarily Marcus read the commentary Sky have
a thing against the old and commentators granting this, but
seems to be on the out. He would call all
the tests they faced in Smith from the cricket they
have all these pre shows with female hosts for both
rugby league. Doesn't be hidden and no idea who the
rugby commentator was. It wasn't Jeff Wilson, that's right, No,

(01:08:29):
it must have been Jeff mctange. There was there no
one over there from Sky because he got no sideline comments.
Have they they see anyone over it? All seems weird.
Gordon Marcus welcome, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:08:42):
I had a fit being though, uh sixty nine. It
was a sixth fifteen and it was only two of
them come into this country and I just sold it
only last week. Oh sold it last week from nine thousand, boss.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Seems cheap. What a great car they were When you
say only you satainly two came into the country without
a very special model?

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Was it?

Speaker 24 (01:09:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:09:12):
I locked it up or I forked. All the dealers
around there they've never.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Seen one, so why was it? How was it different
to other band beans? Did other have a smaller engine?
A five hundred cety engine? Did they exactly?

Speaker 9 (01:09:25):
Well, it was a six fifty engine, yeah, six fifty
beds on the back.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
But the most common ones were they have five hundred
c c were they?

Speaker 22 (01:09:35):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
Okay, understand.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Where did you buy it from?

Speaker 9 (01:09:39):
Oh well that's not I've heard it for about five years.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Oh you didn't have it since it was new? Okay, no, no, no,
no death trapping or did you feel safe in it?

Speaker 9 (01:09:53):
Well, it only has one problem. It was manual and
when you pulled up the light the moder was cut out.
Oh yeah, okay, you had to keep the ribs up.
It would stall. Yeah. Dangerous on the road. I bought
it for my wife.

Speaker 12 (01:10:13):
Really, it was dangerous on the road.

Speaker 22 (01:10:17):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
Was it a boat? Was it bone white? Is that
the color of it?

Speaker 9 (01:10:22):
It was a goldie color.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Do they have a sun roof?

Speaker 21 (01:10:25):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Well it was running. Well I think it sounds like
nine thousands of bargain.

Speaker 9 (01:10:32):
Oh yeah, I don rest from my headressillar Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
Who bought it? Something's going to look after it.

Speaker 9 (01:10:41):
We went to christ Church.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
They'll be right. Such an iconic car. Gordon, thank you
thanks for hanging on the pivot. It's Marcus, welcome, all
right here you going?

Speaker 14 (01:10:54):
Yeah, like I was just going to talk about New
Zealand netball. Actually I just sort of thought that it's
really sad that the CEO of New Zealand netbor decided
to pull the Kiwi teams out of the Ans Cup,
the Trans Tasmin Cup, and now she doesn't really have

(01:11:18):
anything to say and everybody's leaving. What do you think
about that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
I think it's PREEMAUS had a lot of that Trans
Tatsmin Cup was good and it seems like the cup
we had this year there was a liver very little
interest in it. I thought it worked quite well.

Speaker 14 (01:11:31):
Yeah, but I mean what I'm saying, Marcus, is that
she's completely made a mess of it, and and it's
just she doesn't seem to see the folly of her decision.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
Well that's sport management, isn't it. Because I'm sure there's
all sorts of hidden things with costs and pressures and
stuff like that. But it made no sense to me. Yeah,
I mean because because now it was now people now
people in Australia, can they can go and play in Australia,
can still play for the Usian team, Right, that's the
that's the situation.

Speaker 14 (01:12:01):
No, no, no, she she she pulled, she pulled the
Kiwi teams out of the and the Transas mactin and.

Speaker 22 (01:12:10):
Look she.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Hang on Vivan. What I'm saying now is though the
Keywis can go and plan Australia and still eligible to
play for New Zealand. Is that correct?

Speaker 14 (01:12:21):
She didn't want that to be the case, but that
is the case now, right, Well that's why they're all leaving, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Yeah, that's what I'm asking you. Yeah, because now after
the situation with Scott Robertson, they don't want the direct
We've got to go to Japan and get rid of
the rules. Change the rules, screw the scrums, so Aeron
Smith and some of the other halfbacks can come out
because we need them. So they reckon. Probably we've been
too hardcore with that. So yeah, that's happening. Also, Pete

(01:12:47):
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:12:49):
Yes, leaving Marcus. With regard to commentary, I think the
covering the All Blacks Peers game, I think Steve Donald
will Beva was there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Oh he was there afterwards in the studio, but it
was the I have got a screenshot. The guy the
main commentator right was Jeff mctange did you know did
you know that?

Speaker 22 (01:13:08):
No?

Speaker 19 (01:13:08):
I thought it was Goldie And yeah, and Jeff what's
his name? Uh, the keneb halfback, Justin Marshall.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
Ye, Justin Marshall was there and he was in the
commentary in Millsbory and they were both commentary, but the
main guy was Jeff mcday. And I can't work it
out because it's been it's been granting this but in
Tony Johnson forever and they seem to bypassed him with
without much hoopla.

Speaker 19 (01:13:33):
All right, that's got me stuff too, mate, because they
are very good commentators. And and and that Nigel oh
what's he used to call him? But a cricket to
Nigel or someone he was a very good coller.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Not not Nigel Letter, No, Nigel the album.

Speaker 19 (01:13:53):
Oh yeah, he's a very good corner of sport.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
T J Paradows. The other guys thinking about that, they
want to come back as well too. Any who, he's
on Midnights out. If you want to be part of
the show. My name is Marcus. Welcome water in cars,
How did you do it? Cars with engines in the
back and commentators for rugby and I guess that's just
passing the seasons. You people come along, we get used

(01:14:19):
to them, but you do wonder what happens the old guys.
I don't know if Tony Johnsons still doing it or not.
If you want to talk about that, feel free to
come through. Keep those texts coming through. It seems like
most of the people are the text who didn't who
the main commentator was either, so I'm not alone in
that and you I just recognize his voice somewhere but
couldn't work it out. The Heino Contesta has its meter

(01:14:44):
at the rear. This is great from Jude. This is
a classic text, Marcus. The ab commentats annoyed me when
they comment that Bowden Hiss bars the board to his
brother Scott. Why bring the family connection to commentary as
he's led to individual players. I think, were they commentator,
you run out of interesting things to say. That'd be

(01:15:05):
my take on that. So there we go that the
situation annoying things commentators say, Oh well, someone said, Jeff
Wilson starting to look like Murray d K. You've got
a point there, actually, Yes, for a good point to
keep it going through. I talked before the news or

(01:15:26):
after the news mainly eight hundred and eighty twenty nineteen
ninety text one of his Marcus welcome anything else you
want to mention good. I think we'll be a lot
of discussions soon about gambling and sport and how to
keep the players safe. I'm not quite sure what Brandon
Smith has been charged with, but something to do with
sports gambling. So yeah, that's going to cause a lot

(01:15:53):
of discussions about that. I would think probably could have
done without putting the scambling into the sport to keep
it safer or to keep it cleaner the results, because
sometimes we'll never know if there's money to be made
from and how to keep that clean. It is the
day after the All Blacks loss, which is always heavy
days for talkback, with people having to say what they
need to say. Oh, I quite enjoy the old Joe. Well,

(01:16:16):
what are the Christian people feel? A because I know
that Scott Robertson is like their favorite son and they
probably want to defend him, do they? I mean, I
don't know what that is. That where your thinking's going.
I mean, the coach wasn't on the field playing, he
didn't get the yellow cards. Do they coach the teams
to go close to the wild. That's what Gregor Paul
would say. They say, we're trying to win by nefarious means,

(01:16:42):
right through school age grades, right through a ripsets, the
way they're taught. I'm very involved with the under ten
rugby team and they're not taught that. They play well too,
always fairly refereed. So you see that culture in the
under tens. But yes, that's what we are talking about tonight,

(01:17:05):
eight hundred and eighty t I didn texts. You've got
to talk anything else, looking forward to hearing from you.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty Yeah, if
you're cantab let us know how you go. Your favorite son.
I know he's not originally from from christ Church, but
he soon he got you guys. Are fair few trophies

(01:17:25):
over the years, Yes, and also cars with engines in
the bag, the Delareu and the Bambina, the Imp and
the Volkswagen. I think the Combie had the engine in
the back too, of course. And I guess none of

(01:17:45):
these cars had radios, is that right? I presume that's
the way it works. They all air cooled like a motorbike. Honest,
Somedy Bucks of Radio does don't they. Of course, Hi, Terry,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:18:01):
It's just gone quickly about announcers. I'm starting to show
my age here, but I recall as a young fellow
Winston McCarthy his commentary, and one of the things I
really remember was when the guy come in to kick
the goal, he paused and said listen, dragged out like that,

(01:18:26):
and then he'd scream, it's a goal. And then there
was one commentary he said, I'm sure and it was
Don Clark was the kicker. So whether that was in
the area, same era, I'm not sure, but I'm certain
it was Don Clark kicked. And this time he said, listen,

(01:18:47):
it's a goal. He says, goodness, gracious me, it was
twice as high as the uprights. And god knows what
age I was. Well, it stuck in the mind.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
That was the thing on radio, was it?

Speaker 24 (01:19:04):
Yeah? Radio? And again, just quickly, one other thing about rugby.
I followed rugby all my life and I'm following the
Warriors as well to see how they go. And I
cannot abide by the box kick. This box kick they
do of any sports such as rugby, hockey, cricket, whatever

(01:19:31):
you like, is possession, for god's sake, a box kick.
The forwards have just slogged their guts out in a
scrum or a ruck getting the ball and then the
heart that takes the bloody thing away. And I'm sorry,
I swore I.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
Was worried about the beep hey at work at work
for Argentina.

Speaker 24 (01:19:53):
Though, yeah, well, uh, I just don't like it if
you look.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
But that's the way the games evolved to front of
very good at Argentina, we're no good at because we
can't catch, it seems if you look.

Speaker 24 (01:20:08):
But if you look at the league, the Warriors, for instance,
no such a thing as a box kick. That is
not in league because possession is ninety percent of the law.
They kick on the fifth tackle, certainly, but it's not
a box kick. They normally blest it way down to
the twenty two, way down the other end of the field.

(01:20:31):
But if the box kick is so valuable, why don't
they do it in league?

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Are you one of those people that's yelling at the
TV that are no, not another box kick? Are you
one of those ones? Basically yes, because I've watched the
rugby games with people that like that. Oh no, don't caving.
They don't kick it. It's just the way it works. Now, yeah, yes, no,
well you're a you're a kid tebrin, are you?

Speaker 24 (01:20:57):
Oh yeah? Christ is here?

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
Well, Scott Wi Scott Robertson, come right, Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 24 (01:21:04):
A great believer as well. And it doesn't hurt you
to lose because you learn by your mistake off of.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
The best thing. Ever, we should probably lose more often given.

Speaker 24 (01:21:13):
That theory did right. I was actually very pleased with
the way the radio commentators spoke about the game afterwards,
and they gave Argentina a credit and about the only
things that were said basically about the All Blacks were
things like I have seen them play better and things

(01:21:36):
like that, and there was no blaming the referee all
the sendings off or anything like that. Put this way
offside is probably the stupidest thing you can do in rugby.
Get yourself wolf's side, and we did it three times
in a row there at the beginning of the game.

(01:21:56):
And no, I give credit to to the radio announcers
or whoever commentators were after the match that they just
simply congratulated Argentina basically and said I've things like I've
seen New Zealand play yes, So anyway, let's get rid

(01:22:21):
of box kicks.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
And I think, Terry, I think you've better just get
used to that's the way the game's going. Otherwise you're
going to get furious watching it. You may as well
just enjoy the game with box kicks. That seems to
be the way it's played.

Speaker 25 (01:22:33):
Now.

Speaker 24 (01:22:34):
Yeah, you're probably right.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
That's free, Terry. That consultation for you. Thank you, Uh
box kicks. Yeah, I'll tell you what. The way we
sing the anthem, you look at them, Well, that's not
motivating them. Maybe better off without the anthem. But good,

(01:22:56):
I tell you what. No one not like they're enjoying that.
That's terrible. No one sings it. They're just sort of
faxing it, don't they. They kind of move their lips.
But then the cost of the Argentina into the anthem
with the band out there, go there and tease. You're
pissed at those Lettons, aren't they? Anyway? In the whole
stadium started bart at the stadium collapse the way it bounced.

(01:23:19):
Ron Marcus welcome, Hello, hi Ron.

Speaker 30 (01:23:25):
Yeah, now you're talking about cars with engines in the back. Yes,
you want to about the helmet the well, that's what
I made had a car called a Hilmet. But then
the engine in the back.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Yeah, that's that's how we got started with the on
Hilman gimp.

Speaker 30 (01:23:38):
Yeah oh yeah, no, I didn't hear that one. I
just got on there. And also an old chap up
the nausey and scoona a scooner with the engine in
the back.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Any good, no, no, terrible, But.

Speaker 30 (01:23:57):
Anyway, he got hit from behind and entire happy and
he had a big boy tidy measured just as well.
The pederal tank was in the front. Otherwise he said,
I might have been here. I think nobody rammed him
from behind.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Yeah, the guy from behind. The guy from behind was
in the Skoda.

Speaker 30 (01:24:18):
No, no, the guy from he was in the scoter,
the guy behind him, and he hit him and the
engine and from behind.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
It was he being ironic where he's it's a good
thing the engines in the front.

Speaker 30 (01:24:28):
Yeah. All the petrol tank was in the front.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was I think it was the
Skoda one thousand MB, would that be right? Sort of
a kovy lot.

Speaker 30 (01:24:40):
There's something like that here because his old joker head
and he lived the way out the hell in the
back of a carbon tower and behind Mangaweka.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Really, what's he doing with the Skoda was?

Speaker 30 (01:24:50):
Yeah, that's I suppose he was fairly careful with his money.
It was cheap to run.

Speaker 16 (01:24:58):
All he did was go to.

Speaker 30 (01:24:59):
Toyaomi to get there some food was his chip farmer. Oh, yeah,
he was on a big He was on a farm.

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
Yeah, it was on a block of land there.

Speaker 30 (01:25:09):
And he melt cows as well.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
He did here.

Speaker 30 (01:25:12):
Yeah, he they melt cows and had sheep. But this
was going back in the or nineteen sixties. I think
it would be wow. But I'll tell you about another
cow I picked up. Have you ever heard of the
little feat? It might have come out in saty nine
or forty now a chimp had this little feat. It

(01:25:33):
was only two of you got in and you can
only just get two in it. It was a little
two seater and the lights were on the mudguard that
was black and white, and I can't think it may
have only had five hundred c c. I'm not sure
how big the Indian was, but of course that was
in the back. It suicide doors on it.

Speaker 7 (01:25:57):
You opened the door from the yeah, yeah, I think
that you virtually had to.

Speaker 30 (01:26:01):
Bend your head down to your knees to get in it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:03):
Were there many of them in New Zealand on I.

Speaker 30 (01:26:06):
Don't know, but i'll tell you something about a chap
turned up right near that man with a scooter and
his wife had a little red one and it was
exactly the same model car. Now, this guy found out
about it and he worked with me, and I actually

(01:26:28):
picked that car up after it packed up on the
woman and brought it back on a big transporter to
my to my workmate, you know, at home. And the
only thing I wish I had always taken a photo
because I had it on the big zigger transporter and
it looked like a kid's toy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
I think if it's nineteen thirty nine, I think it
might have been a fat top of Lino.

Speaker 30 (01:26:54):
That's what it did me. And the lights on the mudguards.
If you got anything on your can you get photos
up on that?

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
It's classic you described it free. Well, it's got the
it's got white and black with the black mudguards, with
the lights on the front. It's got suicide doors. I
presume that means it's doors that go backwards. He's got those.
That's exactly as you've It's got a big nose on it.
It's not like a beanbater. It's got a nose on it,
like like an It had a big note.

Speaker 30 (01:27:19):
It was quite. It had a nose on it.

Speaker 24 (01:27:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:27:23):
Yeah, And he used to take it to work. He
drove it to work every day to the office. He
won a clerk and he drove it to work every day.

Speaker 4 (01:27:33):
And when it was fired, he walked.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
I think topolino means little mouse. That was the smallest
car in the world at the Tyrants production.

Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:27:41):
Yeah, Well he drove and he always had a grin
on his face when he was driving on it. It
happened the window now that he give you a little
way as he went past. Sometimes he had his pipe
in his mouth.

Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
Apparently. It became popular for hot rollers in North America
due to its lightweight size and rear real drive, and
ability to fit a V eight engine underneath the hood.

Speaker 30 (01:28:06):
I don't know how you're going to be hate, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
I don't know, so I don't know what there was it. Yeah, okay,
it's pretty weird car, but I'm.

Speaker 30 (01:28:13):
Going back to the Fiat Man Benner. Some guy told
me that he tried to do it himself, but he
never got it, never made the grade. Some of them
were those feats the injury used to pack up in
those five hundreds, you know, the Fiat man Bena yep
and some guys were putting putting. There was a little
de Hatchu car come out with a little injine that

(01:28:36):
was a diesel engine. They put a diesel engine in it,
fitted it somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
How'd that go all right?

Speaker 8 (01:28:44):
Well?

Speaker 30 (01:28:44):
Evenly they did go all right. But the guy that
I knew, well, he was a Southern law He bought
the injine and everything. He got an engine out of
a wrecked one, but he never ever finished it, and
he sold the whole what so, I don't know. I've
never seen one going with it in but he knew
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
To be the show. We'll probably find out. Right, it's
been nice to talk, Thank you. Twenty past ten. It
could be wealth with the lost good things come for it.
It could be the rehash and they get new people
through off and that's what happens. They get some young
seventeen eighteen, nineteen year olds, They find some venom, some
game star that they'll fast forward and you know, the
world hasn't seen another Lomu with something like that. Oh,

(01:29:25):
very hopeful. It's not the end of the world. I
think probably the thing about the World Cup, we've got
for a few more teams win it. How many teams
have won it? Four England Southeveric Australian as you know,
is that right? France have never won, Argentina I've never won.
It keeps interesting when more teams win. We've got that
passion Ireland they could win sometime. I suppose wells off

(01:29:46):
the off, the off, the off, the off the pace
a bit. But yeah, we need to spread around a
bit more. We've had it three times, we've gone back
to back. I just like better. Yeah, hopefully this because
I think this, uh, the Rugby Chamionships becoming quite a

(01:30:07):
good competition. Australia going great, guns, Argentino going well makes
it for interesting. That's a good thing.

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
Twenty six, twenty four past ten, Malcolm, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 15 (01:30:21):
Yeah, Hey you're in there. Another car with a motor
in the back, A javelin. Oh yeah, they uh, you've
never seen many of them round but they had the
motor in the back.

Speaker 3 (01:30:34):
Is the javelin the make of car, not the model?

Speaker 15 (01:30:37):
Yeah, it was the maker was a javelin here.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
Oh you sure tell me about that.

Speaker 15 (01:30:43):
Well, I don't know too much about it. I mean
I knew a lady that owned one that was in
the matter tap station up in Monica. Oh yeah, and
it was never very good on the gravel road.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
So what station was sheared?

Speaker 15 (01:30:59):
The metasap that's a that's the property that sona frainds.

right up there.

Speaker 19 (01:31:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
It wouldn't You wouldn't buy a javelin for them, would you.

Speaker 15 (01:31:12):
Well, they found there and then they the lady had it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Seems a strange choice.

Speaker 15 (01:31:21):
Well, yeah, probably was.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
Yeah, I thought you'd normally a Toyota highlights and a
place like that.

I love I love the five hundreds, the K five
hundreds they were pretty good and also kickers of paka.

called a Tatra. They made them right. I think it
might might have the checkens Kia Russia. There was some
Soviet country singing made anyway, and they made them right

(01:35:32):
up into the nineteen seventies. The last one were a
Tatra six O three or.

Speaker 16 (01:35:37):
Something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
There are you a car guy?

Speaker 13 (01:35:40):
Are you?

Speaker 10 (01:35:41):
Oh?

Speaker 25 (01:35:42):
Well, I've been around cars for a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
Did you know those bubble cars as you call them,
the mitter spitting all those other ones? There'd only be
a handful in this country went there.

Speaker 25 (01:35:51):
Yeah, I've never seen a five I've seen Oka two
hundred was one. Yes, I'm presume it's still there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
I've seen ones come up semi regularly at auction, you know,
they're always there. Seems to be cars that's fun to
have but also fun to sell. Which was the one
that opened at the front.

Speaker 25 (01:36:08):
There was Isaeta.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Okay, they're kind of amazing looking.

Speaker 25 (01:36:11):
With the BMW BMW is yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
I don't know you want to be on the I
don't know you want to be on the road now
with all those forward rangers, I mean they do get dwarf,
don't they.

Speaker 25 (01:36:22):
Oh, you wouldn't want to have a head on with
no no and the top Alenos se at top Aleno
they were fronting not.

Speaker 26 (01:36:31):
Rear engines, were they were?

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Okay you sure?

Speaker 4 (01:36:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:36:34):
Yeah, yes, guaranteed there was a little forcing on the
front end. My friend had one. He was was he
stripping his run out to put a four hundred and
sixty publicans for eight on it?

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
Okay that's what it says, Yeah, because I thought, why
would you buy them? If you Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:36:48):
Okay, there there is a there is a famous run
here in New Zealand. Well it's famous in New Zealand
drag Race, which is called below B A l O
O probably Google letter, probably beyond the Google boxes somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
Yeah, it's still racing now.

Speaker 25 (01:37:04):
It's been racing for fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
It does that has a front mound mounted engine. What's
the name of that?

Speaker 10 (01:37:10):
B O blue B A l o O.

Speaker 25 (01:37:17):
Okay, but it's still racing until this day. It's been racing,
well since the nineteen seventies.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
You've got a long life span some of those cars,
haven't they. Yeah, I can see it now. Blue Blue
Race CBO's coming from history in New Zealand. Race can
name blue belonged to drag racing Piney Peter Lodge. Yeah, yeah, okay,
it's green, is it? Oh no, it's good.

Speaker 25 (01:37:44):
Yeah, well yeah, there's been a lot of colors over
the years. I think it's I think it's a mix.

Speaker 10 (01:37:52):
Painter on the door.

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
So with famous cars like that, do people buy them
and put a whole new engine and but you keep
the body? Is that because the body is a hard
but to get? Is that the way it works?

Speaker 22 (01:38:01):
Well?

Speaker 25 (01:38:02):
I presume yeah, yeah, Well not many around these days. Yeah,
there's actually you made a model top of therese and
only ones but that one. I made them d up
in the nineteen fifties. Okay, they were the lad the
ones were a slightly different shape, more rounded.

Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
I always see articles they're saying those mini cars, those
bubble cars are coming back, but you never see many here,
do you. I guess they'll be good. And so it's
places like Tokyo and New York where you're looking for
parks that could park them sideways, but you don't see
many of them.

Speaker 25 (01:38:33):
No, not now anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:38:35):
Yeah, okay, nice to talk way, and thank you for that.
Hell and this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:38:40):
Hi.

Speaker 11 (01:38:41):
I was just a short story a bit when I
was a late teenager and Ruster Nelson dead lent me
his ugly, bright yellow renold car, as ugly as anything. Anyhow,
I packed it, brought us in an open shed for
two weeks just so they radiated didn't get frosted. And
then I find at the motor was on the boot

(01:39:05):
in the I remember an old car that he had
dead head with a great big long bonnet. They had
a feeling it was a Humber, not an eighty but
ninety or something. But you're going up here you can
hardly see the road. Long bonnets were rounded, and.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
I must have had some weight to Some of those
old cars with those big bodies are massive airs, weren't they.

Speaker 11 (01:39:27):
Yeah, Oh yeah they were. And they had a running
board that you stood up on to get in the door,
and a suitcase thing at the back to stand on.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
And what was the point of running boards. It's not
you want to get into a car when it's moving.

Speaker 11 (01:39:40):
I don't know, but they did like a doorstep, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
What was the point of them?

Speaker 11 (01:39:47):
Maybe they were from the mud.

Speaker 3 (01:39:51):
Yeah, there must have been a point to them. And
I've never thought about that, even thought to ask why
they would have had them those running boards.

Speaker 11 (01:39:56):
Yeah, and the I remember the lights on the old
car dead had at the TEMs. I think all vehicles
were liked that. The lights were just along whiles to
the battery clips, and they often did come off when
they're going along the road by jolting in that. And
when Dad got home, he took the betchy clips off
the lights so they didn't flat in the battery.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
And were most of the cars of the Channel's pretty old.

Speaker 11 (01:40:23):
Oh yeah, they would have been here because it cost
so much to get them down there. You ran them
right into the ground, and you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Thought there was a mechanic there as well, was there?

Speaker 11 (01:40:32):
Oh yeah, there were year a couple of garages, but
they were all mechanics. You have to be a mechanic yourself.

Speaker 24 (01:40:37):
Really.

Speaker 22 (01:40:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:40:38):
But the funniest story I think I might have told
you once before about they used to put lime on
the roads years ago when I was a kid, and
there was a big quarry in the middle of the
island was still there, but it was like loose, and
they put lime on all the roads and you could
see Dad coming home from the pub about thirty miles
away because it had the dust that they kicked up

(01:40:59):
behind them was like a kid stream and Dad's Then
they started putting proper granite grass on the roads, and
you said that you always liked the line better because
when he came home from the pub late on sadday
night and the car lights went out, they could still
see the road.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Rest to like the pub today.

Speaker 11 (01:41:19):
Oh yeah, not all the time, but just saiday night, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
Brilliant, that's what you want. But a social stuff. Hell,
nice to talk, thank you. Twenty one away from eleven,
someone said the running boards were for the government and
al Pacino's day. What were the running boards for? Always
clean your drink. Body wouldn't beieve how much bacteria is
in a not good bacteria could make you ill, might
make you more robust, of course, Marcus, I always wanted
to know what would happen if you cut in half

(01:41:44):
a home and a mini and well the two together
synchronize a throttle linkage. Would it be as fast as
a modern all wheel drive? Any engineers, it's a big
question that ask us chat GPT. That'd be the answer
for them. They keep them working. Twenty t eleven, we
are talking cars and how we feeling about the all Blacks?

(01:42:07):
What about some of you cantips You're right about Scott
robertson voice quite like the guy voice stintly comes across
quite well. But yeahs team needs to come right. And
then there's a talk about we're start bringing players back
from Japan. Is that discussion from their discussion for now?

(01:42:34):
Because yeah, I don't know what you want to say
about that, but do talk you want to talk? Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten, nineteen nine text. I think
it's two and there. I think it's Aaron Smith and
t J. Pen And I don't know how old TJ
would be. I was born ninety two. So he's thirty three,

(01:42:58):
eight thirty five. Yeah, he's not as old as I
thought he would be. Hello, Dana, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 31 (01:43:06):
Oh hi Marcos, how are you going good?

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 31 (01:43:09):
I've got a story about my first car when I
was fifteen years old, back in the seventies. It was
a Simp car one thousand, which had the engine in
the back and it was ugly, little ugly little things,
but pased. Cost me about five bucks a week to
get to work five days a week. And the funny
thing was on the side had stripes and it said

(01:43:31):
Mini muncha.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Freach car was it?

Speaker 16 (01:43:39):
It was French?

Speaker 31 (01:43:40):
And I remember another good story was I went to
the we used to go to the midnight movies at
the Civic in Auckland, and we parked it by with
my boyfriend, packed it by Albert Park, went to the movies,
came back out, couldn't find our keys. Realized we popped
them in the car and we were like, oh my god,

(01:44:00):
how are we going to get home to them all sure,
So anyway, tried to play with the lock with what
we had, couldn't get into it down the boddle would
try to smash the window. They tell you what. The
glass on that car was like bulletproof. No one could
spash it. So we had to get locks sudden on
the Monday morning to dismantled lot, get it out to

(01:44:23):
get in the car and take it home. So she
was a bulletproof little French sumpter one thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
Do you remember the movie? Do you remember the movie, Dana?

Speaker 31 (01:44:33):
Oh god, no, no, It probably would have been a
horror movie or something that was what my boyfriend was into.
So yeah, they still always have like the horror ones
at night at midnight.

Speaker 14 (01:44:44):
I think from.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Memory, what year would that be that we're talking late seventies.

Speaker 31 (01:44:49):
Yeah, I would have nineteen seventy seven, okay, yeah, yeah,
But anyway, did.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
You get a text? Did you get a taxi back
to the North Shore?

Speaker 22 (01:45:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
We had to between hard we're getting a texti those
days would have to go to a phone box to
find a call.

Speaker 31 (01:45:08):
Oh god, it was just it was not a short
walk from the Silver up to the Elbow Park, and
you know, it was a few dodgy, dodgy folks two
o'clock in the morning when you're on your way home, because.

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
These days you just do it with a wire, don't
you the coat hanging down on the inside, So yeah, yeah,
we tried that.

Speaker 31 (01:45:26):
We tried everything, honestly, and we went down a bit
of wood. So I will just smash the window and
get the window a place. But none of the windows
would smash. It was half a golden nutt.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
Nothing, nothing like a funny thing. And then Sully, it's
ruined because someone locks the key in the cart. It's
always a bit of a ruin, or isn't it.

Speaker 31 (01:45:43):
Yeah, anyway, love listening to your mate.

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
Did you marry him?

Speaker 31 (01:45:50):
Yeah, we have got fourts winning anniversary in October.

Speaker 3 (01:45:53):
That's the key. So it all work. It all worked out.

Speaker 19 (01:45:55):
Anything and living from the tar in Paradise brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:45:59):
That's what I want hear. I love you to hear
from you. Always kind of scared. Do I say I
did atle work out her? I know he was he
was no good or he did or anything like that.
It's always gettingne to get a nice outcome. A few
times I've regretted. I've answered questions I thought would lucidate
a good answer and I thought, oh, I hecked, I
should have asked that anyway. For the year have been married,

(01:46:23):
move this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 18 (01:46:27):
Here you are, Marcus, I was just good. I was
just thinking about old cars and things like that. It's
work in supermarkets. And one of the guys that worked
with me, we used to joke about an advert that
was on the radio, the cheeky little scouters from Eric
Sides Motives and and he's so we worked together for

(01:46:53):
a wee while. He said he said, they said these
are my actually my uncle and I said, oh, yeah, whatever.
And we're working in the veggie department. He says, I've
got one of uncle Eric's scouters, chicky little sk Odors
is a bright orange one. I'd like you and whatever.
So we were drumming cabbages and there's great big leaves
like and we were joking and put them on, put

(01:47:15):
put them on our heads, and he said, come on,
we'll go for a drive and a cheeky little scoter.
And so we're driving through the middle of christ Church
obviously prior earthquake, through Cathedral Square with these big cabbage
leaves on our heads, and all of a suddenly we
got a red light at the main intersection of Colombo Street,

(01:47:40):
and pedestrians everywhere. We're sitting in this cheeky little orange
scoter with big cabbage leaves on our head. It was
quite entertaining.

Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
Now why were the leaves on your head?

Speaker 18 (01:47:53):
Just for a bit of a joke.

Speaker 10 (01:47:54):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (01:47:59):
Tell me, because I'm not the christ Church who was
the scoter dealer.

Speaker 18 (01:48:04):
Excited motors?

Speaker 16 (01:48:06):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
What was a jingle.

Speaker 18 (01:48:12):
Come and test driver, cheeky little scoter from Eric's Side's
motors Shakespeare Road.

Speaker 19 (01:48:17):
I think it was?

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
Okay, So Eric's Side Motors was a bit of a
legend in christ was he.

Speaker 18 (01:48:25):
If you're a scolar driver? But they were very economical
and that's why they were called cheeky.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
Okay, So what's the what's the what's the moral of
the story? What happened in the end?

Speaker 18 (01:48:38):
It was just a funny thing. Two young fellows driving
down Colombo Street with cabbage leaves on their heads, an
iron Skoda.

Speaker 3 (01:48:50):
It's but but he was you're at work and as
uncle was Eric's side, right, yes? And he turned up
with a skoona.

Speaker 18 (01:49:00):
No keen ken was his people's like one of my
schoolbao helpers at the supermarket.

Speaker 6 (01:49:06):
Okay?

Speaker 18 (01:49:07):
Yeah, And so the uncle had leant to the car
we should come on we'll go for a drive into
town in the lunch there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
And at what stage did you put the cabbage tree
leaves on your head?

Speaker 18 (01:49:21):
We were doing it when we were trumming them in
the vegetable department. It looked quite funny because they were
really big cabbage leaves.

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
Oh, cabbage leaves, not cabbage tree leaves. Okay, I've got
the visuals now, Okay, I'm seeing what's happening now. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
But you didn't get arrested or stopped or anything that
was not embarrassing into it all.

Speaker 18 (01:49:40):
It was embarrassing when we got a red light and
all the pedestrians were crossing.

Speaker 3 (01:49:45):
Okay, I understand now, move, thank you. It's a good story.
Eight to eleven, merry.

Speaker 32 (01:49:49):
Good evening, Yes, good evening. My son had a high
note car. It had the engine at the back and
the boot at the front. It was in blue high
no Hi. It would have been I think in the
later it's late nineties, nineteen nineties. I just can't remember

(01:50:11):
the year of the car, and I can't just remember,
but I think it would have been in the late
nineties that we got it for him, and it was
a lovely little car.

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
Yeah, I don't know those. That's a Japanese car, I presume,
is it.

Speaker 32 (01:50:27):
Well, look, I really can't getting on in years now
and I really can't remember. But it was a blue
and it was a four door. It was really a
nice modern looking car for that time, and he had
that for quite some time. It was bought in christ
Church and it was sold again in christ Church. But

(01:50:47):
I've never seen another one before.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
I've never heard of them, so I kind of imagine
them that were many bought.

Speaker 32 (01:50:53):
In I don't look, I can't tell you, but I
know my husband got it for him and he had
it for quite some time and no problems with it
at all. It was a really really nice for its time.
It was a really model of the little car. Four
door went like a charm.

Speaker 3 (01:51:13):
Nice to hear from him, Mary, Thank you. Nice out
to your call too, Mark. You used to go to
the Nelson stock caar Rest of the child. Loved the
demolition derby. Remember I want to too, scoders with each

Speaker 22 (01:55:16):
Hey.

Speaker 24 (01:55:17):
I'd just like to mention my first car. It was
a nineteen thirty seven ford Y and it had a
fifty two prefect motor and I got it in the
early sixties before the currency changed, and I got it
for sixty pounds, and I had a lot of fun
with it. Obviously it was a floor change, but it

(01:55:39):
had chip pistons. But that car ran for ages. It
was a beautiful little car. Ford what Mike ford Y
with a thirty seven?

Speaker 3 (01:55:49):
Models that spelled w.

Speaker 24 (01:55:53):
Ford, just Ford, foid and y and it wass a

Speaker 3 (01:55:59):
Why so it was just called a ford Y. I
see what you say. Was the engine in the back though, No,
it was in the front. Oh no, that's a different show.
We talked about cars of the engines in the back.

Speaker 24 (01:56:14):
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:16):
All right, that's all right, But tell me about your
car anyway.

Speaker 24 (01:56:21):
I got it for sixty pounds in the early sixties,
and it had a fifty two prefect motor in it,
and it had chip pistons, and I had a lot
of fun in that little car. I thought it could
go quite fast, would go about fifty miles an hour

(01:56:41):
for an old gilloppe.

Speaker 4 (01:56:43):
It's not bad.

Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
What's a chip piston?

Speaker 24 (01:56:47):
The pistons will I'm not mechanically inclined, but they said
that that was the fault that it had.

Speaker 3 (01:56:53):
I see, we're saying, I see the pistons were chipped. Okay,
I thought there was a feature, Okay, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 20 (01:56:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:56:59):
And it was the most beautiful little car. I thrashed
it and it would break down. But I was just young,
and I just enjoyed pedal to the medal.

Speaker 3 (01:57:12):
You know, did you kill it in the end of it?

Speaker 24 (01:57:14):
Die on you in the end in the end it did.

Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Yeah, yeah, And what happened to it?

Speaker 24 (01:57:21):
I got it. I was going over to Samois and
I sold the car and they paid for the repairs.
And I forget how much did I sold? What money
I got for it? But I certainly got my money's
worth out of it. As I said, I said, I

(01:57:42):
paid sixty pounds for it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:44):
Did you move to Sammo permanently?

Speaker 16 (01:57:47):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:57:47):
No, no, no, just for a holiday, Brittan.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
Good story, Mike, Thank you. Robin Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:57:51):
Hello, Yes, hi Marcus. I just listening about Volkswagens. I
thought right to let you know a live bit about them.
I worked for the VW organization from fifty nine to
seventy two. Church, yes, and we used to sell all
the new ones we saw when I first started for

(01:58:13):
the organization of a panelty directionally and we sold the
new Volkswagens or when it was under Volkswagen Moses and
then they changed their name to five Star Motors so
and we sold Studie Baker. They had Javelins in the

(01:58:34):
early days and Bradford vans.

Speaker 3 (01:58:39):
And yeah, so how and their day Robin. How common
were the Volkswagen Beetles. It seemed as though they were
quite a common carn is in it. Would that be right?
They'd be like in the top five? Would that be
a fear appraisal?

Speaker 4 (01:58:52):
They were?

Speaker 24 (01:58:53):
They were sold in big numbers. They started assembling them
in Auckland. They bought some and fully assembled, and the
turners had an assembly planted ota who yes and and
yes we would probably they were probably selling two or
three thousand a year. I did have it. I have
got a book on them that sum Chap wrote. But yes,

(01:59:16):
we were selling. We were getting new ones down all
the time the time I was there, right up to
about seventy two seventy three.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
So when was the golden age about sixty seven? Would
that be right?

Speaker 24 (01:59:31):
Mid sixties? Probably from sixty one sixty two right through
up to the fifteen hundred Beetle and the Super Beetle
which was up to seventy two.

Speaker 3 (01:59:41):
Oh, did the engine sizes vary? I didn't know that.

Speaker 24 (01:59:46):
They started off originally we called them twelve hundred cc.
That was the early Beetles. They got to a thirteen
hundred cc in sixty six sixty seven, and then we
got what we call the fifteen hundred, which was the
latest shape body, and they were fifteen hundred, and then
we went into the super Beetles and they were sixty

(02:00:11):
sixteen hundred, and then of course all those later ones
they up to sixty seven they were only six vault
light batteries and lighting systems, and then from the fifteen
hundred and the super Beetle they were all twelve vault.
So they upmarketed everything so.

Speaker 3 (02:00:32):
And many of the Combe Vans get sold around them
as well. Were they assembled in New Zealand?

Speaker 24 (02:00:38):
Yes, Oda who assembled the Combe's up to about sixty seven. Okay,
they all came in up there, and yes, the turners
her own motor holdings. They had an assembly planted ODA
who and on top of that Odo who assembled Feat Vans,

(02:01:01):
Scoders and they even had a plant at white out
of his new Plymouth and they did sabarus there and
way back. So they were fairly big in the in
the motor game really up to probably around the seventies.

Speaker 3 (02:01:20):
Here did they bring them to christ Church by train?

Speaker 24 (02:01:26):
They came down usually by coastal shipping. Okay, well, and
when the most of them came that we didn't have
much at that stage. We didn't. They didn't seem to
bring anything on rail, but we had the coastal boats
were going then, and they would put them on the
coastal boats and if the boat docked at picked In first,

(02:01:49):
they'd unload them there and we used to get sent
up there and sometimes we'd take a combe van and
about six drivers, seven drivers, and we'd drive them back
to christ Church.

Speaker 3 (02:01:59):
It was a good question, I asked things. That's interesting, hey, Robin.
Were they as easy to roll as people said?

Speaker 24 (02:02:07):
Not really?

Speaker 15 (02:02:08):
Not really?

Speaker 3 (02:02:09):
That was a myth, was it?

Speaker 23 (02:02:11):
Well?

Speaker 24 (02:02:12):
They seemed that if people got into a corner they
and tried to break, which would probably do with a
lot of cars they tipped over. But we, as I said,
I was a panel beater, and I to be honest
direct for parts, probably over five hundred of them over
the years. And I made chairs up for my kids

(02:02:34):
out of two cars and put them on the road
for them.

Speaker 3 (02:02:38):
So you were you were a Volkswagen owner as well
a beatle owner.

Speaker 24 (02:02:42):
Well, I had Beetles in the end, but I got him.
I got into Ford's falcons and things like that. But no,
they were they were good. They had a very good
parts supply from Auckland. There was nothing out of Auckland
that we couldn't buy, which was you know, any panel

(02:03:07):
shop and motor workshop and christ Shirt was in Kilmore
Street and went through to Peterborough by road services, all
by the Gladston Hotel in the center of town. They
had a special big workshop through there in the early
days that purpose built and a big that we supplied
the whole of the South Island for parts. In the

(02:03:29):
end we had big spears in everything. So they were
well organized in the old days.

Speaker 3 (02:03:37):
Unfortunately, have you seen have you seen the prices that
Combe vans go for these days?

Speaker 24 (02:03:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:03:44):
I see that. Yeah, a lot sort after, aren't they. Wow?

Speaker 24 (02:03:48):
Yeah, I've seen I've heard of prices of rab And
Auckland of thirty forty thousand for them.

Speaker 3 (02:03:55):
Oh, I think they go for a lot more than that.
Now I think yeah, but.

Speaker 24 (02:04:00):
Now I didn't like working on them.

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
No good.

Speaker 24 (02:04:05):
The Beatles were good because he could. I had so
many bolt on guards and were the Comby's. Everything was
welded on in place, so they weren't nice to fix
as the panel beaters. For a panel beating point of.

Speaker 3 (02:04:18):
View, not quite as fun. Ah no, No.

Speaker 24 (02:04:24):
I worked up up till I retired, and I didn't
do any work panel work on Comby's.

Speaker 14 (02:04:33):
In the end.

Speaker 3 (02:04:36):
What are you driving now, Robin.

Speaker 24 (02:04:40):
Ford Ranger?

Speaker 3 (02:04:41):
Oh yeah, good answer, Thank you, nice to talk joined it, Robin.
Good stuff sixteen past eleven cars with engines in the
back of the thing for tonight. Marcus. My father on
a Beatle years ago. He did his mother take it
for drive. She was gone for it, came back a
plenty of how slight was They discovered that she had
the handbrack on the whole time. The rear brake drums
were glowing red. Marcus, expect the fat fast beck was

(02:05:03):
a fit eight point fifty grant one text just says Victor,
I like that, Victor, thank you. Oh yes, it's think
about the contest to thank you. We're talking about cars
with rare engines. Yep, that's right. And also Scott Robertson

(02:05:24):
and the All Blacks and putting a team on with
wingers that can't catch. Seems it's not about speed now,
it's about your catching ability. We want to go, I reckon,
we want to go to the Aussie rules. They're great
under the high ball or basketballers. Hi, Marcus, I've only
a couple of rare enge and cars, an Air called
v W, Carmen Gear Cabrolet and a Reynold Fluid convertible.

(02:05:49):
The KG was the same as Maxwell Smart drove in
the opening credits and Get Smart for a couple of
seasons after the Sunbeam Tiger, and the Florid was exactly
the same as Bridget Bardos. I believe she still own hers.
I now the last of the Saab convertibles with that
has the engine from the front and a little more reliable.
That's from Glenn, Thank you, Glenn. I don't know if
I pronounced fla Reid right, so I apologize I've done

(02:06:10):
that ignorantly. Marcus used to give my brother a fat
five hundred bab Being my brother, I used to sneak
out and cruise up and down Queen Street. We were
quite tall, so we had fish bowls our heads through
the sun. Er if such a laugh day, though, He says,
we went up and down Queen Street, and he's written
out to Queen Street suck. What would be toasted that words?

(02:06:33):
Marcus us to give my brother hold of my brother.
I used to seek out and drive it up and
down Queen Street, suck. Auckland. Of course it's Auckland. Are
you c k? Yes, very good, Ted Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 26 (02:06:47):
Yeah, Marcus, I heard you're talking about the rugby just
a little bit of the only thing we've going down.
But in the weekend was a pleasure of seeing the
bloody all blacks skit there, bumbs kicked a little bit
for a change.

Speaker 3 (02:07:00):
You think good will come from that?

Speaker 26 (02:07:02):
That's what I was only out of it anyway. And
I've renamed the game with rugby. I don't call it
rugby anymore. I call it shambles. Okay, well, well, because
right from the very first whistle to the very last one,
if you look at a game really, really hard, you'll
see that every bloody in it is the shambles. The
first scrum that goes down usually collapses two or three times.

(02:07:24):
They don't put the ball under the hookers feet, so
we don't need three hookers traveling on the touring party anymore.
The line outs are all falling to bits. Is when
they go to throw the ball in the players all
run up and down the bloody from the front to
the back, from the back to the front. That's the shambles.
They're rolling malls inside the twenty two are a damn shambles.

(02:07:45):
When one player gets the ball in the middle of
ten or twelve other players and falls over the line
and gets the water to try, that's supposed to be
exciting rugby. So and I heard John Hart on the
radio this morning being interviewed by Mike Hoskins, and he
said a lot of the things that I was saying.
He said, if the New Zealand Rugby Board Old rugby

(02:08:07):
board don't get their bloody act together, within five years,
we won't have a game at rugby. What will we have, Well,
we won't have anything because it will be that many
rules and regulations. Nobody you'll understand.

Speaker 22 (02:08:19):
What it is.

Speaker 3 (02:08:21):
Was it John Hart or was it Graham Henry?

Speaker 26 (02:08:25):
John Hart this morning? And then Graham Henry was on
your program tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
Do you think do you think that? Do you think
that's the case that I thought Graham Henry sound a
bit means spirited. He might have been taken out of context.
Just if we lose a game and we get thrashed,
then we just playing the rules of the games too complicated.
Wasn't too complicate for the Argentinians. They had the hand
on it and played quite well.

Speaker 26 (02:08:47):
They out gung the All Blacks in all department, Graham
Henry said, reckoned. It was just a bit of complacency
that cost them the All Blacks a game. But I
haven't seen a worse game than that for a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
I can't see them getting up and beating the spring
box at Eden Park.

Speaker 26 (02:09:06):
No, I can't either. If they get one, I would
say they'd be lucky, let alone get two out of it.
The other thing, I watched the game of rugby a
few weeks ago. It was probably in the NPC, and
they had thirty phases of play on the goal line
and they still never scored a try. So I mean,

(02:09:27):
and they call it exciting rugby. Jason Pine comes on
the radio on Sunday and Monday morning and says, what
a great game of rugby we saw on Saturday or
whenever it was, and people believe them, wow, but I don't.
I've got sick of believe in them now. So I
just I watch it because it's quite an entertaining thing

(02:09:48):
to watch. But I certainly wouldn't get up, lose sleep
over it and get out to watch it.

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
It was exciting because you didn't know who was going
to well that might mind you looked from the sick
of last twenty that the Argentinians had one. It didn't
it look like we were when you get it once
seever reswined off that was it wasn't it really?

Speaker 22 (02:10:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (02:10:05):
That was another supid thing. Three yarrow cards and.

Speaker 3 (02:10:11):
Because we're cheap.

Speaker 8 (02:10:13):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 26 (02:10:14):
And the other thing that I saw, I was grad
grad that the ref pulled our lineout thrower balked and
that's the first time I've ever seen a referee penalizer
player for balking.

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
What's ballking? Because I couldn't work out what that was.

Speaker 26 (02:10:27):
Well, they had the ball up above his head ready
to throw it, and he went to throw and the
All Blacks jumped and he never threw it. They came
down again. The referee just wore out of them and
gave them a penalty.

Speaker 3 (02:10:41):
He like, did it like a dummy pass he pretended
to throw? Then Okay, that's bad.

Speaker 26 (02:10:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that was another good thing that
I saw come out of it. But yeah, I don't
know what to think of it, but.

Speaker 3 (02:10:52):
We do seem to, we do seem to have to
play to the rules because I thought it was an
extremely good referee. He looked free onto it the whole time.
I don't even think he went to the third umpire
did he just did.

Speaker 26 (02:11:06):
He penalized them a lot for being offside the line,
but behind the scrumm he penelized all the all Blacks
quite a few times. That for that where I haven't
seen refs do it in the past. But you know,
there's just so many rules and regulations that every referee
you watch referees a game differently, and the players when

(02:11:28):
the whistle goes, they look up at the ref and say,
what the hell did I do?

Speaker 4 (02:11:31):
You know?

Speaker 26 (02:11:32):
They don't they don't even know themselves what they are
penalized for.

Speaker 3 (02:11:36):
Well, they should they paid enough?

Speaker 26 (02:11:38):
They should they?

Speaker 3 (02:11:39):
Yeah, yeah, No, I thought the reff was excellent. Yeah,
I can say I can say about that. I thought
they didn't show Scott Robertson at all, as in his
little coaches box. They showed the Argentinians. I know where
he was hiding.

Speaker 26 (02:11:57):
Yeah, yeah, Another thing I noticed about Scott Robertson. East
doesn't seem to have this get up and go that
he used to have when he was coaching Canterbury. Of
us hardly says anything. He just sits there and puts
his hands over his head when they do something dumb.
And yeah, he doesn't look as own squad that.

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
Maybe the boss is seat to calm. Don't know what's
going on there, because you're right, he used to be
a sort of a fity live he's sort of a rooster.
Now he's kind of straight jacketed.

Speaker 22 (02:12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:12:23):
No, he hardly sees a boot now that's I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:12:27):
But anyway, what met us to you? T does it
menace to you that we win the World couple? What
met us to you?

Speaker 23 (02:12:32):
No?

Speaker 26 (02:12:33):
It doesn't it metal one way or the other. I
want to see some decent rugby. I don't care who wins,
but I want to see some decent rugby, good running
back back line rugby that you know we've got no
back line. Now we just have a straight line. The
ball comes out from the scrum out to the first five,
He puts his head down, charges into a couple of

(02:12:53):
forwards from the other side, and then we end up
in a big mealy and players diving on the top
of one another when someone gets tackled. There's too much
off the off the ball. I saw one guy. I
saw one guy get taken out from the back of
the scrum the other night in the ref never even blinked.
An elid flew over the top of the scrum and
Bowld just took this guy out hill over the hills,

(02:13:14):
and the game just carried on.

Speaker 3 (02:13:17):
Do you like all the high picks? Hed you like those?

Speaker 22 (02:13:19):
Do you No?

Speaker 26 (02:13:20):
That's another thing that gives me a gut shake, bloody well,
just aimless picks. I mean they're just kicking, kicking straight
to another player. God, it's hard enough to get hold
of the ball with kicking it back down the other
end of the paddy. The high kicks gives us something
to talk about us.

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
Did you watch South Africa? And because I saw the food,
was it a good game? It seemed like it was
quite close.

Speaker 26 (02:13:45):
Yeah, they're not playing nowhere near as good as they
should maybe, but the.

Speaker 3 (02:13:52):
Aussies are good. They brought that half back back. He's
like a foxed here at the scrum.

Speaker 22 (02:13:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:13:57):
The other thing about the All Black game they never
bought Damien mackenzie back on until it was too damn late.

Speaker 3 (02:14:04):
Oh you think he should be well a seven points
even unkicked penalties and conversions out there, weren't there?

Speaker 22 (02:14:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (02:14:10):
Yeah, Well Barrett missed two penalties and two conversions, so
there's ten points for you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:15):
I thought it was seven. Are you sure it was ten?

Speaker 6 (02:14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (02:14:19):
It was conversions, two conversions and two penalties makes ten,
don't it.

Speaker 32 (02:14:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
But I heard it was seven in the miss so
maybe you got you.

Speaker 7 (02:14:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 26 (02:14:30):
Seven points, ten points anyway. McKenzie came on and picked two,
the only two he had.

Speaker 3 (02:14:35):
So is your in Pece? Is your n PC team
doing all right? Ted? Are you watching that?

Speaker 19 (02:14:40):
Which one? Well?

Speaker 3 (02:14:41):
Who do you support? I don't know where you're from.

Speaker 26 (02:14:43):
I've been actually following the Bay because I'm in the Bay.
They have plenty so but and yeah they've up there
bloody antier. But but I mean a lot of those games,
the first rounds were brilliant games and then the next
round all the ones that one got Bloody's thrashed. Yeah okay,
so yeah, you know it's pretty up and down it
but there's some a lot bit of rugby being played

(02:15:04):
in the NPC than when you watch an all black game.

Speaker 3 (02:15:06):
Brilliant. That's what we want. That's the sort of stuff
we want to hear. Okay, Ted, good on ya, thank you.
Get Ted's not a fan of the high caxle. There's
there's a surprise here we go. If you want to
see an exciting game of rugb, we watched the Black fans.
They played a great game against Spain. Exciting to the max.
I don't know what we were thinking about. In the
late fifties, my father came up with a Lloyd six

(02:15:27):
hundred post German car with an engine in the back
two Cyland, a four stroke air called death Car, best
rear engine car. Right Williams pushed nine thirty two by
New Zealand Land speed record. Back in the nineties Marcus
nineteen sixty four mobile Guess Academy Economy Run, my father
drove a sixty four Reno Dauphin from willing To to Auckland.

(02:15:47):
They came second place to a Mini as they struck
twenty three of twenty six going into Auckland the same class.
I don't know what that means twenty three out of
twenty six, but thank you Dauphine was we're engine. Tell
me what that means about twenty three out of twenty six.
They m up be your typo there. I don't know
what the Lloyd six hundred is into that. Once upon

(02:16:12):
a time on talkback you could never say anything bad
about the all becks, so people have chilled out more
about it. I think they seem more relaxed, and that's
a good thing. I think this is Marcus Alistair welcome.

Speaker 4 (02:16:25):
Believe me, Marcus my friend, and I want all codes
of football, rugby or soccer whatever to tap to tackle
if you don't know the ankles.

Speaker 3 (02:16:42):
They want what.

Speaker 4 (02:16:45):
They want footballers to be tackled at the ankles, and
so less footballers will get hurt that way. And we
must think about the young chaps coming on and the

(02:17:06):
girls now uh to tackle right then at the ankles.
Then the four of them will just four over there
will be no injuries.

Speaker 3 (02:17:21):
But I think the injuries have sorted out. We're not
getting the spinal injuries like they once did. I thought
the game has done a lot to cut down on injuries.

Speaker 4 (02:17:30):
Well that's my that's my opinion. Technic tackle right down below?

Speaker 3 (02:17:35):
Who's your mate?

Speaker 24 (02:17:39):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:17:39):
One of the more boys here?

Speaker 12 (02:17:43):
Where are you?

Speaker 3 (02:17:43):
Where do you live?

Speaker 4 (02:17:45):
Parmers North?

Speaker 3 (02:17:46):
What is a neighbor?

Speaker 4 (02:17:49):
Yeah, a neighbor down the road.

Speaker 3 (02:17:50):
Yeah, that's what you want to hear. Is he is
he into rugby.

Speaker 4 (02:17:55):
More more so than me?

Speaker 3 (02:17:57):
You didn't tell Did you watch the match?

Speaker 9 (02:18:00):
No?

Speaker 16 (02:18:01):
I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (02:18:02):
Why are you want to.

Speaker 9 (02:18:07):
Know?

Speaker 4 (02:18:07):
If they tackle right down at the ankles and no
shoulder Kathleen, that's a bad, very bad way of playing rugby.

Speaker 3 (02:18:22):
But that's this is not your topic, is it? What
talking about rugby?

Speaker 4 (02:18:30):
Well? No, but I'm just giving my opinion and I
think it's right.

Speaker 3 (02:18:35):
Have you have you got a car with an engine
in the back.

Speaker 4 (02:18:41):
No, I'm talking about rugby now, ye know.

Speaker 3 (02:18:45):
But tackling around the ankles.

Speaker 4 (02:18:48):
Yeah, and nobody will get hurt.

Speaker 3 (02:18:52):
Okay, thanks Alistair, Alistair. Oh, this has a bit of text.
Marcus Mobile, guess economy run my father over sixty four
redo do fine? From went into to Walk and they
came second place. To mine is they stuck twenty three

(02:19:13):
traffic lights out of twenty six going into orctand the
same class must be done. Great tooth road before the motorway,
the motorway Auckland's motorway.

Speaker 13 (02:19:26):
What about.

Speaker 3 (02:19:29):
One of any of the all Blacks have got a
car with the engine in the back. I think everyone
can go there and combine the two topics to any
all Blacks have ever had a car with an engine
in the back. What about one of them had a
Volkswagen I mentioned imagine probably it's got a robinsone had
volkswag Combia this day Mark has had a French car
with a rear engine of the seventies called a SimK

(02:19:49):
of Rey. Hard to get the preminent marg, Thank you Marg.
The motorway the motorway. Maybe the all Blacks need poor
Maybe the what the all Blacks need is more power
on the back like the helmet imp. That should be
the new strategy the helm and n imp. More power
in the back, chuck al what's theme on the wing

(02:20:10):
and get a new fallback for what they need to do. Anyway,
get in touch, Marcus till midnight oh one hundred eighty
ten eight nine nine to text. That's what you want
to do? More power in the back. Will Jordan put
him on the wing? He's not as bad as the

(02:20:33):
others under the high ball? Will that be right? I
don't call it rugby anymore. I call it shambles.

Speaker 2 (02:20:41):
I reckon.

Speaker 3 (02:20:41):
We do go services on these guys V day because
at least if I'm listening to them, someone else doesn't
flap when the game's changed.

Speaker 7 (02:20:52):
Isn't it.

Speaker 3 (02:20:54):
You try and get some sort of technical advantage the
game changes. It's twenty to twelve, Gord Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (02:21:05):
Yeah Marcus. Uh, it was a long time before somebody
mentioned the Porsche of the rear ender. Yeah, and uh,
Partiac makes a little sports car with the rear end
engine water cool from what year? Uh the last twenty

(02:21:26):
years or maybe longer. I've never seeing one here and
the Indians maker, I think it's a rear render. It's
uh t a t a.

Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
Yeah, I've seen the tart Yeah yeah, yeah? How are
you are? You know a lot about cars?

Speaker 9 (02:21:46):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (02:21:47):
No, not a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:21:48):
But the majority of cars with the engine and the
rear right to the majority not have a radiator. But
the Porsche does have a radiator.

Speaker 6 (02:21:56):
Is that right, No, I think the Porsche is there cool?

Speaker 3 (02:22:00):
Oh okay? Well okay, portion and b W so the
on the pontext the only one that that has a
that has a water called rear engine. Then be right?

Speaker 6 (02:22:12):
So far, so far as I know.

Speaker 3 (02:22:15):
Why why don't you need to cool engines if they're in.

Speaker 6 (02:22:18):
The back, Well, it doesn't matter where they are, they
need to be cool.

Speaker 3 (02:22:23):
Yeah, but why do most cars have radiators? But most
cars with engines in the back don't have radiators.

Speaker 6 (02:22:29):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:22:30):
I'm not no nor am I. But just just so
we'll get someone to answer. Talk about the rugby? Do
you want to mention the rugby?

Speaker 8 (02:22:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (02:22:39):
I do?

Speaker 6 (02:22:41):
And I wish the commentators would just shut up for
a while so we can listen to the rest.

Speaker 3 (02:22:48):
Yes, but I'm not sure if the.

Speaker 12 (02:22:56):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (02:22:57):
Okay? If I finished, they mightn't go back to sleep.

Speaker 3 (02:22:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (02:22:59):
Do that?

Speaker 6 (02:23:01):
They rab it on and they try to make jokes.
They should They should not give up their dates on
jobs to become comedians because it's starved to death and
let's let us hear the let us hear the rest.
They just carry on talking or yabbering and not make

(02:23:24):
not turning us anything important at all. And as far
as the box kick goes, I maintained that you should
kick kick offs and penalties and so on should be
kicked so that our player can get to and contest

(02:23:48):
for the ball. You take it way down the paddict,
you can't contest for it. And if you can get
to contest for it, were fifty fifty pounds, you're going
to get it. That's all I got to say.

Speaker 3 (02:24:01):
Would you like to have the referee microphoned up? And
that become part of the commentary as well?

Speaker 6 (02:24:06):
Yeah, yeah, as long as long as the commentators shut up,
all right. I don't even tune in until kick off.
I can't stand all the bs it goes on and
at halftime to I go and listen to some other
go and watch some other programs. Wows used to be

(02:24:27):
able to listen to the radio commentary and watch the
game on TV. But now they're not.

Speaker 19 (02:24:37):
They're not.

Speaker 6 (02:24:40):
Coincidental, they're not what, they're not what sorry not to incidental.
They're not times to say, is it delay?

Speaker 3 (02:24:49):
So is there?

Speaker 6 (02:24:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:24:52):
Yeah, watch the watches. The TV delayter was the radio delayed?

Speaker 6 (02:24:57):
Radio delayed by how long? Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:25:00):
Enough to make a yeah, like like a second, not
like ten seconds.

Speaker 6 (02:25:09):
I don't have an exact time. I know that it
doesn't work for me.

Speaker 3 (02:25:13):
Okay, not to hear from your God, thank you. There
we go. So some people aren't handling it that well.
I guess we could say and tell how the commentators
and the ref. No one's criticized the ref, which is
extraordinary for us. That's a good point you're making their Marcus.

(02:25:34):
Years ago, we lost everyone to find reasons to blame
and be the ref or the role I do our
blaming the rules, but no one's blame the ref or
no one's saying how far we went back to review
the try or how far we've played advantage. Because beforehand,
you know, we run that we should have won that
we're World clupp Cup, but we didn't. And people always said, yeah,

(02:25:54):
but that was the one they didn't really win because
we should have won it. People have accepted this as
a loss. That's progress.
