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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Marcus Hitdle twelve. How are I hope you got first?
And four bost just before we get off to the
medicine head. How goods Andrew Webster with the media? Wow,
No matter what's happening, he always every time they ask
him a question, he just completely manages to take every
bit of controversy or energy out of it and just
calms the whole thing down. It was a fantastic voice

(00:33):
bait a voice break for him during the news. I mean,
what else can he say? But just calm, just makes
out he's a guy in charge. He's managed to work
with what's going on. Just brilliant and good on management
from allowing to be like that too. It's a class act.
I reckon anyway, How are you? What's happening? I hope
you've got hit? On midnight tonight we'll go eight and
eighty today there's breaking news. This is where you'll hear

(00:54):
at Tim Beveridge along at midnight tonight, Tim Beveridge from twelve.
Remember your votings open to in the local body elections.
You can vote from now till the twelfth, I think
of the next month, are getting charge, of course, to
it's not getting and get in there and do it.
Of course today is also nine eleven. Yeah, well no,

(01:17):
it's nine to nine. Guys. You always get confused because
they do it a different way the Americans state' anyway,
it's nearly nine to eleven. That's two days away. So
that's coming up. I'm already seeing news stories about that,
No doubt Trump I will probably go there. How's that
birthday card from Trump? What's interesting about the birthday can
It's all interesting, But what's interesting how it's he's he's

(01:42):
done it on a typewriter and type lines and then
drawn the drawing out. I mean, you wouldn't do that anymore,
would you? Goodness gracious me? And if anything about that,
there's a lot of things to say about that, but
one of the most one of the also staggering things
to say about that is how far we've come with
our birthday greetings? When you do that on a typewriter,

(02:04):
that's what appears to be what it is. I don't
know if he did his signed it anyway. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty eight taty and nineteen ninety two to
text is a lot to talk about tonight. Ooh, and
I'm here for it. People. Well, I wouldn't mind starting
the talk discussion about today. Here's something I've never known
anything about, and not often do we talk about something

(02:24):
I know nothing about, But today we're going to start
the discussion with that, right And someone's mentioned them once
on this I was gonna say TV program once on
this radio program, Hobby Broadcast, and I had no idea
what they were talking about. But I was involved in
another discussion about that today and it's something that's not
within my realm, and that discussion is around the thing

(02:47):
they call soundbars. No idea what they are. If anyone
could enlighten me about when they became a thing and
who needs them? I missed the memo, it must because
I got no letter box, I get no junk mail.
I never knew that, and I've never mean to anyone's
house that has us soundbar. So yes, you're never too

(03:10):
old to learn, and I'm learning more than I've ever learned.
So for those that don't know, I'd rather you explain
to me what a soundbar is and what the point
of them is. But this is important for a TV
watching experience. And I never knew they were a thing, never, never, ever,
ever ever. So if I don't know, I suspect some
of you don't know, and some of you that don't
know are probably having trouble getting good sound out of

(03:31):
your TV because it's got no sound bar. When did
they become a thing? I think apparently it's because of
this new TVs are flat and thin and you can't
get the audio, so he'd a separate thing for the sound,
which is called the soundbar. Had no idea they were
a thing. So if someone's experienced these and they go,

(03:52):
you could ring up and saying, oh, g Marcus, they've
been around for ages, Oh my god, mar because I
can't believe you've never heard of them. Well, the truth
is I haven't, and I guess perhaps in one way
you could say that that is one of my quirk
is a hobby broadcast though it is to be bad
enough to confess about things I know nothing about. And

(04:13):
one of those would be sound bars. I've got no
idea how many people's TVs would have them? Would half
people's TVs have a sound bar? I mean, jeeps, creepers.
I don't know what I'm missing out on I don't
even know where i'd put them with our TV. How
do you even actually manage to to they attached to
the TV. I've got no idea about them. But if
we can start tonight talking sound bars, I'd be a

(04:34):
happy chappy in I'm happy already have every and even
more happy chappy with discussions on soundbars. Marcus a company
knew of a sound bar. Never have They're not on commercials,
are they? I've never heard of them. We've brought TVs,
They've never offered us sound bars. I feel left out,
Gary Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Marcus, good evening to you. And yeah, about soundbars, it's
pretty simple, ready, Yes, it was complicated when TVs went
from black and white cated ray tubes and so on
to flat panel displays like we see now. Matter of

(05:21):
facturers had a problem of including decent sized speakers in
the flat panel television vox if you like, and so
they resorted to putting the tiniest little two inch cheap
dome speakers in the sets, which resulted in a fairly
thin and tiny sound, no base, no low frequency response whatsoever,

(05:47):
pretty much telephone like quality. So we put up with
that for a while until some bright spark decided, well,
we'll take the sound reproduction issue out of the set
and handle it in a separate mounted assembly, and that's
your sound bar.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Now, when did these discussions happened other and when did
they jump jump? When did they jump and get common acceptance?

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Oh well, it.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Was probably sort of when the first flat panel sets
came out in the late late nineties, last year ninety five,
around that period. It took another ten years, it wasn't
it's a sort of mid two thousand and five sixty
seven that you started to see sound bars appearing and

(06:32):
and I was curious about that name, you know, when
they first appeared. But that's your long, thin black bar
that's sitting below, designed to sit below the screen if
you've got a.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So most people with TVs have sound bars.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
No, it's an optional extra. The TV said that the
flat panel TVs will quite happily produce sound on their
own without having a sound bar. It's just a very
limited quality.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
What are the TV producers produce sound bars to go
with their sets? And it becomes all in one. Why
are they allowing them to go out there with such
poor sound? You think if you're a putable TV manufacturer,
you'd make sound bars for your TVs.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Well, I think they are now. They've taken quite a
long time to come around to that. They've just sort
of seen the market issue for the owners of the sets,
you know, to sort of learn about that. I mean
a lot of people are not aware of sound issues.
You know, when it comes to television sometimes always gets

(07:38):
all the attention.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, but you know sometimes you think, hang on, can
you check can you put the hearing can you put
the hearing and ped subtitles on? Because there's stuff I'm
not hearing. And that's because of the soundbar.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Closed caption is an issue with your streaming providers. You know,
you can select that on your remote.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
But what I'm saying. What I'm saying is people probably
think their hearing is going with extents because the TV
audio is so poor.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
I mean, I've got a fifty five inch one. It's
just an old early model. Soundsung and it sounds dreadful.
And you know, I work in the industry and a
sound engineer, and I thought, I've got to do something
about this, So I connect the headphone socket on the
back of my fat flat panel TV. I've got that
going into a very sizable sound bar, and it's so

(08:30):
very very good at load frequencies a base and the
thunder and explosions and everything is very very good technology.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
But how can I how can a bit of Harvey
Norman buying TVs have ever up sold me to a soundbar?
Is that because I've ignored them when they've said it.
I'm just wondering if I had those conversations, didn't realize
it's having those conversations.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's an optional extra, but you got to have it
explained to you that the set is not capable of
reducing good sound on its own. But where you need
a separate system?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Where is that soft till I thought that'd be all
over it? Well'll tell you what last year buying that
you already need the sound bar.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sindly for a while we're reducing a flat panel scream
mean that where they mosulated the screen itself, they made
the screen itself vibrate and act as a speaker. You didn't.
It was a good tent. It sort of worked, but
it wasn't really all that good. So you really still
need a sound bar, a good sound bar to get

(09:24):
good high fight and good low frequency sound. You know,
your low rumbles and explosions and they sound great through them.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Gary, do you got to people's place? Do you go
to people's place and stagger? They haven't got sound bars
because the sound quality is so bad.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
You gotta be very careful doing that. You've got to
be very diplumatic.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
No, but I'm not saying you've said anything, but if
you had that experiencing cheapest creepers, they need a sound bar.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
A lot of people don't care.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
You know a lot of people look at the color
photographs and or they might look a black and white ones.
They don't care. It's like saying with sounds, a lot
of people just don't care about whether the sound is
really that good or not.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Okay, found you're very fullsome of your explanations. We're talking sound.
Is this of interest to any not of us? Of interest?
Because yes, oh jeez, ma, becaus a couple of you
talk about that in a bit of a snort in
there too. So if anyone else finding this interesting because
I never knew about a soundbar, is this new information
for people? Be honest and let me know, because probably

(10:22):
if your TV's hard to hear, you need a soundbar.
I don't know where you'd put it. Click if your
TV's mounted, will mounted. It's all about soundbars tonight for
the first let's hear from you people, if this is
news to you, if this is something that you have
something big. I got about twelve text about that. I'll
read those in time, and I want your calls now
about the soundbar. Feel very comfortable talking about this, Marcus.

(10:46):
What is a hobby broadcaster? Why did you call yourself
a hobby broadcaster? That's a good question. A guy rang
up a number of weeks ago and he challenged me
about my job, and I said to him, I love
my job. I would do it for nothing for me.
I am a hobby broadcaster. I think that was the

(11:08):
gist of it. I don't quite. I'm not un totally
sure what the discussion was about, dandivity recall about that.
It wasn't the topic. It was something he was getting
at me about working and pay and go and find that.
And then people have started what was it about? No,
I don't know what it was, but that's so that's
where I started talking about that. It's a humorous self

(11:29):
deprecating epithet. If you want to stop saying it I can,
but people mention it in texts. Marcus have a soundbar
that I sat on the TVV cabinet under the TV,
but have removed cabinet after renovations. My builders had no
probably can get brackets for most TVs. Now the soundbar
is attached to and hangs plow the TV. Pat Marcus,

(11:50):
thanks for the new info about TV soundbars that I
get angry with my TV sound See I'm helping people out.
That's all in shouting capitals, so someone's been saved. You
get them on TEMU don't know, they be very good.
I'm sure you remember that before soundbars, you would get
home theater systems that could play TV audio and surround
sound like a movie, but they were too large and

(12:11):
too expensive for many people. The soundbar was invented as
a more eloquent solution. Marcus evening. They have home theater
systems as well, usually four speakers in boombox and small
box that sits on top of your TV cabinet. It's
like being in a movie theater. A dull Wi Fi
connected wouldn't do without it. Love your Marcus. Our sixty

(12:33):
five inch TV on our lounge wall has the soundbar,
but couldn't fit at the base as the TV is
too close to our gas eater. Of course, could you
imagine that they're living in a corridor. They got the
guests heating, got the sixty five inch TV, so now
it sits on a table to the left of the TV.
Re annoying for me, but the rest of the family
is fine with it. Yes, I have a soundbar thing.

(12:57):
It came with my TV a few years back and
is under it. Have never really got my head around it,
so I've never used it. TV works still fine, Liz Marcus,
I ditched my stereo for soundbar. You can, as I do,
just use them for crystal clear sounds. I've got a
Panasonic that's specifically designed for audio use. Takes up little
space and the sounds amazing, especially with a subwoofer. Wouldn't

(13:20):
go back to normal stereos. Soundbars are the reincarnation of
surround sound speakers. They engineer the sound to spread the audio.
They lay be an actual bar and give better listening quality.
If you lived in a retirement village, you'll have seen
soundbars a lot. I'm ninety six of used one for
about ten years. I can hear the sound of the

(13:43):
TV so much better. Wilma Marcus, Australia likes a high
five version of a blue Ah, sorry Marcus, They're like
a high high five version of a Bluetooth speaker. Then
other text says Australia looks like they're playing in black.
Must be real dark green. That must be a football one.
Get in touch about the soundbar if you want to
talk about that. I'm keen for your experiences with that.

(14:06):
Good is like a road to do mess? What is
the road to Damascus experience? I was going to say
that might be the wrong metaphor to use. Oh eight
hundred and eighty twenty nineteen nine. To text is something
I've missed. I've misused the scriptures there, Oh no, a
reference to an important moment of insight, one that leads
to a dramatic transformation. I think it might be a

(14:29):
road to Damascus experience. It's all about the sound bar.
You begin the next thing, they'll beget. Next thing you
beget them with your radio will network sound bars silly name,
it's a SLEYDA makes them sound less exciting than they
are woh eight twenty eight eight twenty four eight twenty five.

(14:54):
Let's call it that Craig. This is Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 7 (14:59):
Hey Marcus.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Hi, Craig, Hi, you might want to talk about sound bars.

Speaker 7 (15:07):
I reckon, Well, yeah, I own a retail store and
a motor waker.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Oh great, and.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
Yeah when we sell TV whiteware of course in sound bars. Yeah,
and I'll hear you talking about them. And I thought, well,
I'm not going to inform youvely, but by before it
was quite good. But yeah, so you should have a
sound bar. Well, you don't have to, but they are available, definitely.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm kind of upset. I've never been suggested I buy one.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Yes, so am I actually, because if you're in the store,
I would show you to TV and I'd suggested a soundbar, right,
But you don't have to have one, But if you
want to improve the sound by threefold, at least you
buy a sound bar and put it with the TV
and you've set up for maybe you buy TV for

(16:00):
ten years, so you're all set. And that's how I'd
look at it. And but soundbars do differ from quality, right,
And you mentioned my hate is TMU instead of a
retail time.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I've been I I've been ironic there because it's the
death of us all. So yeah, Craig, yes, I wasn't
suggesting people go with Team WHO. I was saying, well,
you can even buy what on TV, meaning that would
be the worst option in the world. So you I
apologize for widing you up.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
That's all right, yeah, but yeah, so there's differences and
we got them from three ninety nine to five ninety
nine Penasite for example, about four options, but they different sound.
So what people are doing nowadays is they're buying the
big screen TV. They don't want the speakers behind them anymore.

(16:46):
You know, at the end of the day, with the
speakers behind you around sound yep yep. So people are
getting rid of that smaller home of the course, and
it just means that you can just have one speaker,
nice clean, tidy unit and your home and improved sound.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
But what threefold minimum, Craig, What percentage of TVs you're
selling the people are buying sound bars?

Speaker 7 (17:08):
It's not real high, because I must have at the
moment people were saying, oh, to spend so.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Much, do they think you're trying to upsell something they
don't really need.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
Well, there's always that, but yeah, give me a go
at and I'll try for sure. Yeah, but yeah no,
they just should should look at it to improve the sound.
And it is about so many people walking in the
bloody shop today with Sydney with hearing aids and Paddy hearing.
This is a way of improving the sound.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, so you are you? Do you successfully convince most
people to buy a sound bar?

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Not? Not, not all the time, because the TVs we
sell are generally a good quality you know, I'll say
Penason for example, and they generally have good speakers in them.
But there are some TVs out there, the cheap ones
you buy. People say, hey, why is it five hundred
dollars difference between this TV and that TV? Say, for

(18:05):
example that fifty five inches? Why is there a difference? Well,
sound picture all comes into it.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Okay, you've been for good. Just a question before I go?
Are you on State Highway sixty? Or are you on
which street? Are you on?

Speaker 7 (18:21):
Hot Street? Is the only one good street in Mott Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
I'm just trying to work out because I love googled
applianch does your shop begin.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
With R you reliance?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah? Yeah, you should just meach at the start craze
was save me having to be the Google detective. Well,
I liked you a lot, and if I was in
mot that's where i'd be straight away to straight away
to you. I'm looking at your shot. Not nice, narrow
shop too well, look at them. I can see all
the soundbars there, brilliant open nine am tomorrow. We are

(18:52):
talking soundbars. Although it does sound like a music venue
of often thought something said you off to the soundbar.
But someone said, if you google a picture, it looks
like a bar of sound. I'd call it more something
like a sound what's that last guy like? If its Craig,
what was the name Gary Craig. If its Craig, I'd
be I'd say, what you need is a What you

(19:17):
need is a linear sound system or a linear sound
console that would sound better than the soundbar Marcus for hobbylisters.
There should be soundbars for radio. What about that woman
that listens to radio. She's got an app, right, this
was last week. This woman she listens to radio on
her cell phone with an app that records shows talkback

(19:42):
and she has her own YouTube channel where she uploads
talkback shows to her own YouTube channel. What would be
the point of that? Yeah, I could imagine if she
was ringing up with different voices. This time, I pretended
I was an Inuit, But yeah, I found that kind
of and I thought, is that something I should be

(20:04):
doing my own YouTube radio channel? So there we go.
It's not just radio happening live for you and I
on the radio on the twenties. There's people out there
that listening to radio on YouTube delayed. So while I'm
doing the show tonight, there be other people listening to
Pat Britten and talking about the original earthquake and christ
Church and twenty ten. Does that stagger you because what

(20:32):
happens to all this stuff on YouTube? Where is all
the Who's storing all of that? It's been a huge
amount of storage for all that YouTube, Marcus, turn it up.
I stream and watch downloads through my computer with one
hundred PC speakers with the boombox. Cheers Ross. So I
still want your discussions and your experience about this sound.
I haven't even touched this topic yet, So yeah, we're

(20:54):
not moving on right away because there's a lot more
stuff want to hear about that, Marcus. The old tv
s had a proper speaker. Now the new ones that
have a proper speaker, so he need a soundbar, it
says so you need a soundbar, you really do need them.
I think that means you what are you saying, Jay,
You do need them or don't need them? But I've
got elderly relatives and they're struggling. They need a soundbar

(21:16):
or a horizontal listening council console. I just think it
needs a better name for that. Get in touch. My
name is Marcus Welcome, Hittled twelve. I'll let some other
secret back topics sneak in, but this is all I've
got tonight. This is my main topic at soundbars. Oh yeah,
because some of you. I'm sure there's people out there thinking,
hang on, what's this thing you're talking about. Someone thinks

(21:38):
it should be called a linear audio enhancement device, and
I'm liking that. Had no idea this was a thing.
Oh oh, I thought there was an email for me
about audio transcription tools, but that was actually someone's texting.
That's from my off ye character. So thanks for that,

(21:59):
because I didn't read that out. That was top secret.
Do get in touch you on talk. My name is
Marcus Welcome, oh eight hundred and eighty. You'll be pleased
to know that marshmallows have been unbanned at hospital cafes
after Minister's interventions. That's right, despite everything, it's all about
the name on the passport, whether we get marshmallows for
goodness sake. Following report by the Post, health Minsesses Seeming

(22:24):
Brown asked for a view of the new healthy food
policy following a move to band marshmallows. Healthy nutritious fruit
is important, but so is common sense and banning marshmallows
with a hot chocolate makes no sense at all. I
could say something disparaging, like he'll be missing one from
his fluffy, but I'm not going to do that. I'm

(22:45):
not that sort of broadcaster. Peter. This is Marcus.

Speaker 8 (22:49):
Good evening evening, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
How are you good?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Thanks, Peter, that's good to hear.

Speaker 9 (22:56):
Look, I'm just talking about this. I'm by discussion and yeah,
echoing just what I think you said. One of the
texters text and about a computer speaker with a subworder.
That's what I've got up at home on the big
screen TV.

Speaker 10 (23:08):
And wow, what a.

Speaker 9 (23:09):
Difference it makes to just the regular TV speakers that
you get on the modern speakers a lot cheaper too
than a dedicated soundbar.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I didn't really understand what that said. Before I read
it out. So you've got your flat screen TV with
no soundbar, and then you've got your computer nearby it.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
No, so a computer speaker set that you would normally
buy for a computer, I've got that bugged into the TV.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
So you've got the.

Speaker 9 (23:33):
Two little speakers and the big subwifer and i'd hazard
a guess it probably outperforms.

Speaker 11 (23:40):
A sound bar.

Speaker 9 (23:41):
But along those lines, a very fond memory of my
childhood relating to these speakers setups. My father had this
is back in the nineties, a big fifty inch TV.
And I'm sure you can imagine how fat those TVs.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yes, they had depth to them, didn't they?

Speaker 9 (23:58):
Yeah, about half a meter depth.

Speaker 12 (24:00):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
Anyway, he had a big seven point one surround system
and what he would do is anytime we had guests around,
the thing to show off would be this fancy seven
point one surround system with the big TV playing the
intro to top gun. That those few minutes with the
jets taking off the music, pumping the actor's credits on

(24:24):
the screen, the neighborhood was shaking, that's how loud it was.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
What sort of speakers have you got for your computer?
Are they like? Are they they're self standing ones, aren't
they are? Is there one or two of them?

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Yes, it's two plus a sub wither, So that'd be
about the size of your fist if you.

Speaker 8 (24:44):
Board them up in a fist.

Speaker 9 (24:46):
Okay, and yeah, just two independent speakers with a cable
and then that plugs into the subwifer and plugs into
the telly. So no, it has a real good sound
to it.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
What's the cost for all of that?

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Oh, that's a good question.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Gosh.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
I've probably had them over five ten years under.

Speaker 13 (25:03):
One hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
So cheaper than the soundbar.

Speaker 9 (25:07):
Yeah, cheaper than a soundbar. And I would think I'm
no expert, but given it's two separate speakers and a
separate subway for rather than one, what did you call
it a lineal sound?

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, it's called it a soundbar.

Speaker 14 (25:21):
Yes, yes, I alway has it.

Speaker 9 (25:24):
I guess it probably has better sound quality. But yeah,
plenty of volume, plenty of base, And I think that's
what you want when you're watching a good movie.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Nice to hear from your Peter Peter Peter, or watching
the Chase. That's what most people said to spend their
time doing. It's amazing when you drive to town and
see the people their big TV's watching the chase. I
think jeepers, creepers. You know that the bomb could go
off during at five point thirty, No one would know.
They're so glued to that. Keep your text and calls
coming through. It is all about the bass, Marcus. We
have a Panastog TV with a cheap soundbar. The soundbar

(25:53):
sound is way better than the TV. Loving a discussion
about One of my great joys is a hobby broadcasters
talking about things we've never talked about before. Because we
can always talk about third party insurance and children their
homework or sugar taxes. But would we be learning anything

(26:16):
not really soundbars, jeep at creepers. My bike last time
to march Awake and I couldn't and I got Yeah, anyways,
that's the only time I've been there really from on
a whim from Nelson and thought i'd get a thought
i'd get a rend out of time, thought i'd get
a bus back. Well the buses stopped running. Yeah, it

(26:37):
was a long story, but anyway, so why I forgot
to say that I hit my bike outside the KFC
and caught an uber back and came picked up with
a car. The next day, still there hidden under a bush.
Looked surprising when the people in the CAFC seeing me
sort of calling into the bush to get my bike.
But yeah, not stolen. Happy with that, Judas, you need
to take a break. Judith's time out for you. Judas

(27:01):
calling often she's talking about the afterlife and hearing in
the afterlife. That's not for us, Adam, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (27:11):
Hi Adam, Yeah, Hi, how are you Marcus?

Speaker 12 (27:14):
Good?

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Thank you, Adam.

Speaker 15 (27:16):
Yeah, No, just on this soundbar conversation. The other good
thing is with it is I said, if my TV
and I didn't have a soundbar, the volume was different,
the different like programs like sometimes it would be real
low and then real high, but that this is the

(27:37):
sound just with the TV and got a sound bar
and it just fixed all that, so it was that
same sound level if I changed channels. Sometimes I had
a channel and watched the program and it was real
high volume and the next one was very low. So
highly recommend.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
How long ago was this, Adam, About a year ago.
So you're not surprised that I've never in my life
had any discussions about sound bar that fits with your
own experience, Yeah.

Speaker 16 (28:10):
Definitely.

Speaker 15 (28:13):
They should be pointed out to you in story sales.
I think the salespeople get a bit too. They think, oh,
I've got a big TV sale, and they forget to
tell you the other solutions that you need because we
actually need it.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Hang on, then I'm going to say something profound and
you're going to agree with me. This is the one
time and a shopping experience where you need the upsell.

Speaker 17 (28:37):
Oh for sure.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, that's what you'll be told.

Speaker 15 (28:40):
Because they also the speaker and the TV now is very.

Speaker 14 (28:46):
It's a poor speaker than what they used to be.

Speaker 15 (28:48):
Because of how thin the TV is, yes, so that
the sound quality isn't and then the greatest because they've
obviously tried to compensate for.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Being so thin, and there's been a race to the
bottom price wise, so they can't incorporate the sound bar
as part of their set because people would go buy
some other one, so you've got to buy them. It's
a weird thing that's happened in the retail of TVs.

Speaker 11 (29:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (29:10):
Yeah, And then generally the other good thing is that
year we're depending on the brand. Sometimes certain brand sound
bars were better with certain brand TVs. Just we're sinking
with how it connects as well.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Okay, we're going to talk more about this, Adam, thank
you sick Dan, would you plug it in the soundbar
to the TV and to a socket? Yes, yes, Dan's
been very nice and quiet. Then it's sometimes in the brace.
We're at a soundbar since eighteen eighty seven or something,
but that's fine. Seventeen eighty seventy seid get in touch,

(29:48):
Marcus till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
soundbar Tuesday. Who would have known that such a thing
was going to revolutionize the sound of the And I'm
not really a sound person. I'm not telling that sort
of big on flesh stereos around about sound. But is
it called a roundabout sound? I don't know if it
is called a round about sound, but yeah, I find
it's extremely entry. I still want someone to ring through

(30:09):
and say, look this, I've never heard of this, but
I'm buying one tomorrow on the Morrow, Indians, Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 18 (30:17):
Yeah, hey micusam I ring up with WALLBACKA. See you're
talking about marketplace and I've probably give you some helpful
steps and I felt like you didn't really give me
the time of day. So I thought, you know, just
stuff you and I thought I'll give you another chance,
ring up and saying you, I've never heard of Champa.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Are you a dealer?

Speaker 18 (30:37):
No, I'm not a dealer.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
No, HEAs how did the marketplace discussion go? Because I'm
curious if people think they haven't got a fear go?

Speaker 18 (30:45):
No, I remember, I knew was there. I don't know
what you're talking about, but I see when you're from
what you're looking for, and then you keep on scroll well,
and then and then other stuff on appearing. Yeah, but anyway,
I'm talking up the other call I can't remember his name,
but he was talking about those little portable speakers and
the whooper that he on.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Top to the skerry.

Speaker 18 (31:07):
Yes, you'll lie, been one of those under my beat
for years, and you'll live a kiss. I'm on my
way home. Yere plugging him to see if it works?

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Men, is your TV sound not great?

Speaker 6 (31:23):
And dy?

Speaker 19 (31:24):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (31:24):
Well, I don't worry to watch buch TV because I
work in the hospital there and I live in a
caravan premier leave of my little with my little princess,
So you know, love, I'm hoping that I've got room
for the butler and here. Yeah, I'm just hoping. Only
watched TV about a hair and a half two hours
at right. Yes, I'm hoping it's just going to improve

(31:46):
the quality of the sound. I'll be wrapped it is,
unless there's what's the names plugging it into.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
You may as well? And the Little Princess. Tell me
about the Little Princess.

Speaker 18 (31:55):
She's from Taiwan.

Speaker 14 (31:56):
I've been okay, coming up nineteen years.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
I didn't yep. I wasn't sure if it's going to
be a dog or a daughter or a partner there. Okay,
I'm going to let.

Speaker 18 (32:09):
You go because i'm driving a case.

Speaker 19 (32:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
I lovely to hear from you, Andy, Thank you. I
never would have known I had asked that question, would
I I'm excited about Little Princess. What do you call that?
A that's a monika? Is it the Little Princess? It's
a great name. Five minutes to go. In the football,

(32:31):
it's three to one to Australia. They asked to our
bogey team. We don't beat them often and that's I
guess that's population and playing in the strength of football there.
But it's three to one to Australia. Five minutes left
to go, it's good. We've scored. We don't score much
New Zealand, so I'm happy about that. Marcus is a
big bar off the coast of christ Church, and you

(32:53):
brighten your tailor's mistake. Who's the good swells of it's surfing?
It's also but they're great sandbar loll logs. Does sound
bars require a separate remote? And extremely good question? Could
someone tell me if soundbars require a separate remote because
or they how was what it happen?

Speaker 19 (33:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:12):
I don't know about that, so I'm just waiting for
someone to ring up and text me about tell me
about that. Would soundbars require a separate remote? Not that
that's a bad thing, but a lot of us have
got too many remotes anyway, Do soundbars require a separate
separate remote? Come on, some of you soundbar type people,
let me know how that is. Do soundbars require a
separate remote? Be a part of you want to talk, James,

(33:34):
it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 20 (33:38):
I guess so sound bars like if you run Samsung
Samsung sound Bar, same remote, if you run sound bar
Penasonic and Samsung different remote?

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Oh okay, so would you tune the sound up on
the TV and then the TV sound would come out
seat of the TV sound on zero and just the
soundbar coming through.

Speaker 14 (34:09):
Right, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 8 (34:10):
You can leave your TV on. You can leave your
TV on as well. You just get crisp by clearer sound.
So most people by a panas on TV and a
Panasonic sound bar. Then it's just all connected by bootoo.
We're in the modern era man too.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, and I'm there, I'm there with bells on. I'm
all about the modern era, he says, probably the term
and not probably worried that he's not Sonny. It's Marcus.

Speaker 21 (34:34):
Good evening, Hey, good evening.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Evening, Sonny, were going good, thank you.

Speaker 14 (34:43):
I've got a son Off soundbar.

Speaker 19 (34:45):
Wow?

Speaker 14 (34:47):
Yeah, so is quite as quite a good brand. I've
got an l GTV even a son sound bar and
when you set up the son Of sound bar it sinks.
So what's the TV remote?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Wow?

Speaker 21 (35:01):
So I've only got one remote.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Cheap that sounds like that sounds like it's a pretty
good kit. What's that brand again, Sonny?

Speaker 14 (35:10):
Son It's so it's pretty pretty pretty good kit.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Sounds top of the range. How much was that costure, Ah,
it was.

Speaker 21 (35:23):
It was probably about fifteen hundred dollars just for the soundbar.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Wow. Yeah, wow, Well you got your own remote.

Speaker 21 (35:34):
Yeah, well so it's just it's sunk with the TV remote.
So and it's got a five er optic cord that
runs from the soundbar to the TV.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Wow. Okay, good until sonny, Thank you users. Next all
about it the sound bars hitdle twelve. I'll wait one
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to the text.
Catching a bit. There are some extremely good texts and
I'll get to those as it should. Because we're talking soundbars,
You're going to add your voice to that. Feel free,
be involved, call us no. Once it's plugged into a

(36:08):
power supply, you can set up from the TV remote
connects fire blue, tooth and tooth and in settings underspeak output.
I now use my TV remote to control my soundbar.
I lost my soundbar remote. Both TV and soundbar a
JVC Marcus soundbar has a separate remote, and I'm always
losing it down the side of the lazy Boy. That's Tania.

(36:31):
So basically, no one knows. I listen to country music
most of the day on YouTube. I'm going have to
explore these soundbar thingies. I love my music loud in
my car and at home. There are some great songs around.
It's okay, Marks, I listened to news talk from eight
pm until I go to sleep. Howdy. That's from keV.

(36:53):
Good on you, keV Marcus. All modern soundbars use e
ARC via HDM which sinks the device that when you
only need to use the TV remote and Sonos are
the best soundbars.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Personally, I have an LGTV in sound bar. They connect
FIA five optic cables so they can talk to each other.
This allows the one remote to control both devices. Bluetooth
is another option. If you don't have these compatibilities, you're
most likely if you have two remotes. Algae also for
a mobile phone, so when the TV is too loud,
I can turn it down for my man cave. What
are people up to it night, Marcus Dylan Here, I

(37:33):
have a Samsung set up with a soundbar and has
two remotes, one for the TV and one for the
sound bar. By just control the sound with a TV
remote because the soundbar is cliped through five optics, but
you can still use the soundbar remote as its own.
Personal settings also able to change the volume. Two good
evening Marcus offer at a tving on a free soundbar, but

(37:54):
nothing is really free, is it? Cheers Charlie? Or your
soundbar's free? Though someone said marks it's common knowledge that
TV screen size is measured day vagonly, just in case
people think they've been short screened. I would think everyone
used no it was Messua dagonlely, wouldn't they Otherwise what

(38:15):
measurement would it be? Ten past nine Marcus? Or twelve?
You want to talk about soundbars? That's a discussion and
audio of your TV or soundbars of the radio. That
would be interesting and what a topic. Goodness, it's all
about sound bars, beautiful. Get in touch if you want

(38:41):
to add to the discussion or the discourse. By the way,
if you are going back to estporn, you won't get
round because Marine Parade is closed at Lowry Bay, so
be careful. Hi, Nikki, this is Marcus. Welcome hire good
NICKI thank you John.

Speaker 22 (38:58):
How long it's taken me to try and get the
numbers for the station?

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Where did you start? Where did you start.

Speaker 22 (39:06):
Think trying to find out the actual name of it?
I was talking three Z beat whatever, but when I
rang the one eight number, they had no idea because
it was like national talk back the radio talk back nothing.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Have you got a computer? Yeah, because we've got a website.
We've got a website on the news talk z B.
But you't to be three B, didn't you.

Speaker 22 (39:27):
I'll save you great There, I'm stuck between two generations.
I'd love to think I'm young enough to pass is youthful,
But computers overwhelmed me and confuse me and panic me. Actually,
I'm more worried about getting scandal.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah I'm going to I'm not going to scam you. Nikki.

Speaker 22 (39:50):
Well, I'll tell you something I learned, and here's something
for nothing. A young girl who I didn't always get
on with a quick a few week computer course at
the er instuet and tomorrow the first thing just check
this out tip tip as fast as.

Speaker 23 (40:04):
I could do it.

Speaker 22 (40:05):
And next we're looking at somebody. The computer doesn't even
have to be on or open and two minutes pre
viewing of anybody personal, private or otherwise, and they have
no they're not aware that you can actually access and
see them. Woww people put the piss out of me
for that last six years of putting a sticky plaster

(40:26):
over the camera that I had when I had a computer. Yeah,
not so weird now am I? Anyway? The soundbar thing.
When you go on by a TV, what you're looking
at is your high definition display. You look good led LCD.
But how many of them actually advertise for good sound reason?

(40:48):
A friend mine bought one, and it's not the biggest TV.
Big it's not always better the fact that the speakers
themselves are actually positioned behind the TV so directly, and
the sound towards the back wall, not the front, and
it is really really tiny.

Speaker 24 (41:04):
Yeah, but h yeah.

Speaker 22 (41:07):
As far as trying to get my TV to go
on an aerial instead of all this computer thing.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
M yeah, oh that horse has bolted. I think the
TV aerial thing that's gone. I think you need the
computer now, don't you.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
No.

Speaker 22 (41:21):
I don't like when I'm told that I need something,
you know, to find I can't do about it.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
It's stubborn.

Speaker 22 (41:29):
No, not stubborn, just I don't have all the information
I need to be able to check myself safe.

Speaker 11 (41:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Where did you put the plaster over.

Speaker 22 (41:40):
Over the the cameras? A little chem thing at the
top of the computer. When the laptop you lift the
lid up and it's up the top normally in the middle. Wow,
I've felt a we bit embarrassing last it. I mean
years later and in sings still doing that. I'm like,
that's why I headed sticky past. That's why it is
the danger to the online community.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Have you got a cell phone?

Speaker 10 (42:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (42:04):
For three D it's going to be phased out.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Really, what are you going to go?

Speaker 6 (42:08):
What are you going to go?

Speaker 3 (42:08):
What are you going to go do?

Speaker 20 (42:09):
Then?

Speaker 22 (42:11):
I don't mind getting a new one. There has to
be I don't I'm round this five thing again. I
don't have all the information.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
But will you put a plaster over the camera on
the cell phone?

Speaker 22 (42:22):
No? I do not accept nor really allow video calls.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
But as a computer, they'll still be spying on you,
won't they.

Speaker 22 (42:31):
Not if I'm not online?

Speaker 3 (42:34):
But you said your friend that did the computer course
Intima who they said that you can even if you're
not on the computer and it's turned off, they can
still spy on you.

Speaker 22 (42:42):
Yes, yeah, yeah, the person on the other end.

Speaker 23 (42:44):
And I don't know what they could do.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
They could do it on your cell phone, could they?
When you go up out of your three G I think, well,
I don't know.

Speaker 22 (42:53):
Again, if we're getting too we're progressing, We're getting too
far ahead of ourselves that paying attention to them. For example,
vaping sure, cigarette to be for you, but the vape
looks god in Adam as it does to your lungs.
They said they bought it out and then after everybody's
got their hands on it, then they want to restrict
it in put.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
You know they say that. They say vapings a tenth
is dangerous.

Speaker 22 (43:21):
If you have a cigarette in your hand, and if
you have it in your hand longer than you have
a vape your hand, you're going to burn your fingers.
That's obvious. If they brought an e cigarette out that
would have a little light on it or something to
show that on.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
What's they got to do with that? Why are you
going about burning your fingers? No one's talked about that.
Hang on your jumped a bit.

Speaker 22 (43:37):
Have you ever met somebody who tried to give up
cigarettes and decided, I know, I'll get a vape because
the last thing I remember it having a double apple
flavored cigarette. You'll replace one thing with another thing that
without without further investigation, isn't as good for you as no.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
It's much much. It's much Vaping is much much better
for you. It's much much less dangerous and then you
can actually turn down the nicoteen and get less of it.
The science is good. It's just that they managed to
convince teenagers that never smoke to start vaping. Then they've
switched to cigarettes.

Speaker 22 (44:14):
Yeah, well smoking's not cooled to start with.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
No one said it was.

Speaker 22 (44:20):
I'm just saying, I'm not saying you said, but it's
still a personal choice. The difference is a cigarette doesn't
do as much damage as Yeah, the scary, public easily
accessible drug which does more damage to anybody, and it's alcohol.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Hang on, Oh yeah, they'd be right.

Speaker 22 (44:42):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Galco would be the most dangerous of the drugs.

Speaker 22 (44:47):
Yeah, definitely, and.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Then it would be tobacco. Then it probably would be methamphetamine.

Speaker 22 (44:55):
Well I think it is worse.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Probably not in terms of fatalities.

Speaker 22 (45:05):
Well, smoking might cause cancer, or might help cause cancers.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Or it does cause cancer. I think. I feel You've
got a lot to say because if this is your
first time on the radio, because you've only just found
the number, so I'm embracing all of it. You got
any other theories about stuff?

Speaker 5 (45:21):
Yes, actually I do, thank you for It's a surprise.

Speaker 22 (45:26):
That's not nice. If I set out in some three
or forty years, it's still no possible they're returning into
a fossil. Why is it they can find DNA in dinosaurs,
dinosaur bones and stuff. DNA cannot exist if there's no

(45:46):
Calvin fourteen in that.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
I think sometimes I've found it. Sometimes it's found a
bit of flesh inside gum or some sort of thing
or amber that's managed to preserve it.

Speaker 22 (45:58):
Yeah, but Calvin Calbin fourteen is the only thing that
you would present in order to be able to distinctly
find DNA.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Or Okay, think do you think all the DNA? Do
you think all that's wrong?

Speaker 12 (46:12):
Well?

Speaker 22 (46:12):
No, I just I can't remember exactly how many years
until the cabin fourteen can't be found. But there are
living fossils, you know, that's our rockhest that we've never
seen before. And then there's a oh no, there's one
exactly the same as the other one. There's too many,
too many similarities. What bugs me most as I was

(46:35):
taught this as a kid, didn't question it because you
don't question because they know and you don't. Yeah, if
there's Bible DNA and a dinosaur bones and they seriously
can't be as old as they first originally thought. But
then that would mean that the scientists who have had
all this knowledge for many years well renowned, not kicking
them if they can admit that new new found evidence

(46:56):
shows that dinosaurs aren't as old as first thought. If
there is a cabin fourteen found in them, they can't
exist millions and billions anyway.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
I think they do date the dinosaur fossils by where
the bones are found. Also, you know what layers and
they could talk. They can from the soil around it.
They can work out when that soil was deposited.

Speaker 22 (47:22):
All right, So when they when I find a tree,
a perfectly preserved tree, fossilized in an upright position, Yeah,
how does it happen unless it happened quickly? Because event
I'm a slow growing fossil. But I'll never be stuck
between two rocks unless it's they hed a flood and

(47:44):
it happens quickly.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Do you got a lot to say? Nick, I'm going
to move on, but thanks very much for that too
much for me. What I found interesting about Nikki is
it her friend went to a computer course and managed
to convince her other friends that not to have a
computer because they were spying on you. It was a
pretty big There was a lot to digest there. I thought,

(48:06):
do you think about that? Get in touch, Marcus still twelve, Hey, Marcus.
In terms of soundbars and TV, we brought a brand
new eighty inch Samsung back in December twenty twenty two.
These new generations TVs mean you don't even need a
gaming console now. If you've got an Xbox Live or
PlayStation Plus account online, you can just connect the control

(48:26):
to the TV and play so much easier in thiss
hassle to buy the expensive gaming hardware. What about your soundbar?
We're talking about soundbars and how a soundbar has changed
your life. If you've got something to say about that,
then that's the point tonight. There's something different you want
to mention. Feel free to come through Marcus still twelve.

(48:47):
She's all on twenty three past nine of these other
news Get into it, cheapest creepers. It is Teddy Bear
Day today. I'm not a fan of Teddy Bears. But
people are nuts for soft toys these days, aren't they
Who would have thought that was a thing?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Not me.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
That's where the money is to be made, the soft
toy market. This day in history, Queen Elizabeth second became
the longest reigning British monarch. Yep, there we go, and
now you will be able to get marshmallows in hospital cafes.
Government fixing the big stuff. Oh yeah. What is interesting

(49:26):
is a guy has done a whole recipe book featuring
instant noodles, because what he's found out is instant noodles
are a great food. They are great, They're a great
superhero of the pantry. The noodles give you enough hef
to the meal that you don't have to worry about
making a side of rice or making potatoes or whatever.

(49:48):
All you really have to think about as a home
cooked using instant ramen is where do I want to
take the flavor. So he's done a whole book called
Instant Ramen Kitchen, in which he includes dishes inspired by
dishes from over the world such as borsh, shuk shuka,
mar Quaker and so has even ever cooked used instant

(50:14):
noodles as a basis for cooking. I found that quite interesting.
This guy is a graduate of the French Colory Institute.
This is the amazing about instant Rahma is that something
that a novice cooking of a child can make quite easily,
and even a Mitchelin starred chef could find quite delicious. Yep,

(50:34):
it's quite interesting, cooked by lots of things. So they
are the basics for everything. So there you go. That
might elicit some calls if you're someone that's cooked with
instant noodles despise. Oh ah, HP privacy, shutter stop, heckers

(50:59):
online blue, that would be a big topic. My HP
Envy laptop has a button to close the camera. It's
a thing. And yes, the mobile I put stickers on
my really used front camera. Anyone else puts I don't
even know where the front camera is. I suppose you
could find it when you put to a selfie and
then you work out where it's taking a shot from.

(51:20):
Can you anyone else do that?

Speaker 12 (51:25):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (51:25):
There it is up the top. No, you might start
doing that. Exactly what I need, a bit more paranoia
in my life. Get in touch. You've got to talk
about soundbars or covering up cameras on computers or phones,
and also instant noodles as a basis for other recipes.

(51:48):
Not a bad idea. I think they'd be quite a
good I don't know. We you can buy that cookbook,
but that seems like it'd be brilliant. As I say,
oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine,
two ticks. You've got to come through tonight looking full
to your input. Tonight has claimed the soccer eshes three one.

(52:11):
I can tell you that the New Zealand's scorer was
Chris Wood, which he'll be feeling great about. He's the
captain also and the star. So yeah, that's a good
thing that he has scored and be in touch of
you want to talk on here eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty here till midnight tonight. I'm me it's Marcus.

(52:34):
Welcome in. Good evening.

Speaker 11 (52:36):
You good mate, How are you good?

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Thank you?

Speaker 25 (52:39):
Cool?

Speaker 11 (52:40):
Hey, you see to ring up about some random stuff.
So I just thought, I don't know if anybody realize
that today is the ninth of the ninth, twenty twenty five. Yes,
And if you add up, if you add up two,
two and five, it comes to nine.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (52:57):
So the date is the ninth of the ninth of
the night.

Speaker 12 (53:00):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (53:02):
If you add three nights together, what are.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
You twenty seven?

Speaker 11 (53:06):
If you add two and seventy together, what do you
get nine? And what does nine mean? A new numerology.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Oh that's a very good question. I don't know a
lot about numerology, but I'm here to learn. I'm a
willing student. It means wisdom, means a new end of
an era and new beginning. Oh wow does that?

Speaker 11 (53:31):
Yes, it's everybody's judgment day today.

Speaker 6 (53:34):
Great.

Speaker 11 (53:35):
Yeah, so there's some use of some information for all
your listeners out there to make judgment on how they
want to move forward in the lost lifetime from this
point onwards.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
We judge ourselves or is there some supreme being that's
judging us?

Speaker 11 (53:48):
Well, I don know. You asked that. I just asked
the numbers and the numbers game to me. So there
you go.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Yeah, no, you did. You certainly did. So what we
do is at the ninth and ninth and you get
twenty twenty five and you add all those together? Why
why add them? Why not multiply them? You get twenty
They multiply those two numbers to either get zero. I
don't understand numerology, but I mean he did say. Yeah.
I mean, I've got to appreciate his But yeah, I
get frustrated sometimes instant noodles with a can of tuna. Brilliant, Marcus,

(54:18):
what about a can of sardines. It's been a while
since we talked about sardines. But it's fine. You're about
sound bars tonight. Long may that last. Bennett's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Hey, Marcus hangings and all all right, good, thank you Ben.

Speaker 11 (54:36):
But stuff, Hey, I've.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Got two sound bars. The main TV and you've got
a sound bar and it's got a base box that
you turned the TV on, the sound bar bluetooth straight
to the TV. And then I've got the sound the
base box that's hard word straight to the TV. And
then on the deck, I've got a TV and then.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
He see, yeah, I can understand.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yep, you know, I hope it's the same thing I am.
But anyways, that there is great for Rugby in that.
But the sound bar on the lounge with the bass
on her you know on the YouTube put you which
she plays the organ in the cathedral on those big ones.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
What's a lapwood lipwood?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Yep, yeah, yeah, she does. Oh she does like that.
It was a bore yeah movie and just tell her sorry.
She does all the music for that. She doesn't do
it for the movie, but she she does it all
on the organ. All that music from from that movie yeah,

(55:58):
she's really really good. But she she got to play
in a concert. It was like a Sound of Bass
concert and bamboo Heads or something they call themselves, and
they heard her. Because she practices between midnight and six
in the morning, because it's the only time she can
actually get a chance to practice.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
She's actual an old school church organs.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Yeah, yeah, and I mean I was never really into
it that. She explains that, like when she had this
beds in their plane, she says, oh, yeah, are really loud,
but they don't realize that the organ. When the organ's
playing the whole room is an instrument. It's really cool.

(56:46):
But when you put it over the sound bar, because
that's what we're talking about, the little sound bard ninth
speakers and the bait ones just throws it out. So
when you play songs like that, it's like, oh my gosh,
I'm on there. Yeah, pretty cool, pretty cold.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Does she play the classics?

Speaker 2 (57:09):
To be honest, I don't know. I just watched the
modern stuff. Like she's pretty famous now. I think I
think you too, tiktoxic cric cea. But she's really cool,
really really really.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Cool, really worth and she looks pretty straight and serious too.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Doesn't she Yeah, like, oh yeah she is. Yeah, Like
she's typical Bobby lady. I suppose y, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
Thought it was gonna there was gonna be someone coming
out like big robes and stuff. But she looks quite conservative. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I mean she's only a dangy little thing, but she
sure knows how to make that organ rock. I tell you, yeah, well,
I'm not into classical, but that is really cool.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
She's hardly a claimed. She's got a first class degree
at Magdalene College in Oxford, so she's got the credentials.
She's a she's a a very recognized organist.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Totally totally, yeah, definitely worth the watch.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
How'd you find w How'd you find who?

Speaker 21 (58:11):
Being?

Speaker 2 (58:13):
I came across it one day in the music seat
and I was watching and as I said this this,
I've watched this one song probably about thirty times now,
and it's I think I called Bendo or Bondo in
d oh and she well only spotted her three days

(58:36):
before the concert. And he says, look, if we give
them music and you play this one song with she goes, oh,
have a go. If she went out there? Absolutely now
that you like the wall Breakfast Desert during the weekend.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
When you say music, when you say music section, you
mean the music section on a record still on a computer?

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Right, no, no, no, no on YouTube? Yeh, don't you
go onto YouTube? But what an that one? Straight out?

Speaker 3 (59:03):

you here and now you're listening to that about twenty times.
I know you would.

Speaker 8 (59:19):

Speaker 3 (59:22):
I like everything about you being I like the fact
you've got a TV on your deck. I like the
fact you watch the rugby, like the fact you're a
self started with the Bonobo. I think everything about that.
I found you inspirational.

We are talking sound bas text us if you can,
oh eight hundred and eighty eight tey. Also, interesting recipes
you've cooked using instant noodles. I don't know this was
a thing, This might even be a thing yet, but
they're dirt cheap, and I'm sure if people can find
good things to do with them. I mean, I'm sure
there's macaroni, cheese and all sorts of stuff you do
with instant noodles. Just putting that out there because look, honestly,

(01:02:34):
this could be tomorrow's big conversation starter. Look at the
report on the football. They always ended a five hundred
and eighty minute a five hundred and eighty one minute
gold rout Wow Australia one four to one on aggregate
eighteen thousand fans. The Australians were twenty four in the

(01:02:56):
world US in as eighty two so there we go,
just trying to give you a quick the homes. The
home team's best chance came to the chance. The point
came in the twenty minute when one touch moved down
and left finished with Wood trying to steer the ball
pass ball Izzo and the soccer whose goal? Who NEEDSI

(01:03:17):
is safe to make the opening forty five minutes On Friday,
after falling behind, the Whites came close to opalizing in
the thirty ninth minute when Supit soldiers Margaret Dumming on
the left flank in sent across into the shot of
retreating a stream and fiel Aida nil. The All Whites
had other dangerous moments, but there we go. We lost

(01:03:41):
three one. The All Whites will be an action during
the October international window, playing a pair of matches in
Europe against number thirty seven in the world Poland and
number thirty three Norway. Doesn't Norway have a great player?

Speaker 12 (01:03:57):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Who does that guy that's fantastic play for.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Ah In?

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
That blonde guy? Is he Norwegian? I think years? Isn't he?

Speaker 9 (01:04:07):
Am?

Speaker 6 (01:04:08):
I right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Harland?

Speaker 25 (01:04:10):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
I think Harland might be playing against us. That will
be excited, that'll be worth watching. Now we are talking
about sound bars. If there is other stuff you want
to talk about tonight, feel free at soundbars mainly, but
that's just a suggestion. If there is other stuff, I'd
embrace you to talk about whatever you want to tonight.

(01:04:32):
But do remember its local body elections. If you want
to vote, you can vote from today. You should have
your forms and you can vote as early as you like.
You just can't vote after the closing date, which I
think is the twelfth of October, So that's when that happens.
Just letting you know that because some of you will

(01:04:54):
miss that, and that's fine. But that's the closing date.
And that's about all I can say about that. But
do get in touch you want to talk on it
tonight eight hundred and eighty ten eighty known to to text.
Do get in touch fourteen away from ten. If there's
something different you want to mention embracing your texts tonight

(01:05:17):
and emails? Oh how come the how come the that's
what happened with the text machine. DAN shut down for
forty minutes and then all the texts came through it once. Yeah,
so something's gone wrong with it? Do you want to
they must have been doing a working on it. I
wish they'd tell us the Travago add that guy's teeth

(01:05:42):
are so big a white. I spend the entire ad
time laughing. Tell me I'm not the only one in
the country of things. Our teeth are crazy. Would love

But mainly it's about mainly it's about sound bars, Davy,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
Oh hey Marcus, just hear you're talking about noodles. We're
talking about there's instant noodles that yeah, yes, yeah, okay,
but to my horror, Okay. In my past, bed boy
and I got locked up for a week while, yes,
and the nine months inside, and at some point.

Speaker 12 (01:06:49):
I was.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
Put into general public ward.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Yes, I don't think we call them wards but what
would they be called? Yeah, area, I suppose yeah. So yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:07):
Anyways, on my first night, I had previously been in
a segregated area, and on my first night there and
in this uh this is a perry yeah, and and
I was astonished to find that there was not only

(01:07:28):
a kitchen, but they were They weren't locked up after
six pm. They had a kitchen. They could do their
own thing, and Buddy Bad and the guys were. Their
favorite dish was to take a pack of noodles and
put them in a toasted sandwich maker, and and and

(01:07:53):
toast them like a piece of bread, if you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Hang on, David, A lot of questions to ask you
about this. Would would the doodles already have had the
hot water with them? Would they just be the dry noodle?

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
No, dry, dry, straight dry, straight out of the pack,
dried nothing, straight onto the hot plate.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
And toasted between twickets of bread.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
No, it was just it was just toasted and and
and then and then eaten like a like a piece
of bread. I guess so I'm doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
I've got I've got a flat toasted sandwich maker. I
just buy the instant noodles. I put them on the
flat toasted sandwich maker, bring the lid down and cook
for a couple of minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
Yep, And I can tell you right now it looked
and sounded unpalatable, but tasted amazing. It was so amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Would you put the flavor session on it?

Speaker 19 (01:09:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
I think they did. I think after after it was cooked,
because it always did tasted of of flavoring.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
Yeah, and it's it's it's it's hot end crispy.

Speaker 13 (01:09:26):
Is that right?

Speaker 11 (01:09:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
Hot and crispy, like like crispy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And
you can imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
Tell me something because I've only spent the one night
in prison, but when you've got the what's the the
shop calls called the commissary, commissary, what's the place called?

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
Oh yeah, I forget the name now now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
It's always the Commas, the Commas.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
There's the American name.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
So could you buy noodles there?

Speaker 19 (01:10:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:10:02):
Yeah, yeah, that's okay. So so it was it was
like fifty.

Speaker 12 (01:10:07):
So so.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
If someone had had no form of income in prison,
they would volunteer to do employment, yes, and and and
and they might get two dollars fifty a week.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Which is five five packs of noodles yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:10:31):
And and Andy, and they might work eight hours a day. Yes,
for that two dollars fifty work. But that's how it works,
doesn't it?

Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
And but but but it was Davey, have you eaten that?

Speaker 27 (01:10:49):
Since?

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Have you eaten that? Since you've been in the free land?

Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Once I left, I left, I left the dairy. I
left prison and went to a dairy far and and
then while I was on parole and and I hated

(01:11:13):
Darry Farming so much, I see, can you please take
me back to prison?

Speaker 24 (01:11:17):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (01:11:19):
To ship the rest of my type? And it was
on one I remembered on one one occasion. But it's
not something that I wouldn't it's only since you've raised it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
Yeah, no, no, And that's what I'm going to raise
because he's going to try it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
I'm actually going to try it again tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
These are the gyms we want. I've got to run, Davy.
Great call, Thank you, Carl, It's Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:11:43):
Welcome, good evening, says I'm just wondering at the question.
I'm a twenty three year old, and I'm wondering as
to why as near as a young person should even
care about the local What are you elections do you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
Do you live with your parents or do you rent
a house or owner house.

Speaker 26 (01:12:01):
I'm a I'm slating at a house my mate.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
Okay, which area of the country and shoon, but that's
in christ Church, just outside of I would imagine probably
with a lot of a lot of your probably a
lot of your rent goes towards the rates of the
place where you are living, which goes to the council.

Speaker 11 (01:12:26):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
So if you want to have some say on how
that money's spent, because I mean the rates component for
your rent would probably be several thousand dollars, That's what
what I suggest would be the reason, because otherwise you
can't really complain about what's happened.

Speaker 19 (01:12:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:12:44):
Sooen is a very big region and if we want
to be very specific, other than and it's not very
well affected by the government spending a lot of sour
and spending seems to go into rows in which I
grew up in, and it's just seems a lot of

(01:13:07):
the growth going there. But I don't care. It's just
as a young person, I see all the old people
around me seem very invested in this, and I just
don't see what all the fuss is about.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
Well, yeah, so what do you want to have happened?
I don't know to be so, it sounds to me
like you're quite engaged with it. So it probably sounds
to me that you probably should vote.

Speaker 26 (01:13:35):
Well, I mean, I vote in the elections. We have
very three or four years for the government, but they
seem to have long and lasting impacts where I've been
growing up, and I suppose I don't see a lot
of change locally really unless and a rate payer myself,

(01:13:58):
which I'm not because I you are.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
You are because you're paying right, you're paying rent, so
you are a rate payer. Greetings, welcome hit on. But
is Marcus. I hope it's good where you are, enjoying
the show, keep it, keep in touch. I'll get the
text quite a lot coming through the numbers eight eight, Hi, Den,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:14:17):
Hi. I've just returned from the football. Yes, a little
bit different from the previous call in New Zealand actually
had good seventy to eighty percent possession. They just couldn't
convert as Australia got them on the cart attack to
us three times, care it attack, counter attack.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Oh sorr. I thought there's a new expression carrot attack.

Speaker 17 (01:14:36):
And there's street to all their goals. Both the three
goals were scored by two. They've got two African players.
It's quite interesting. Not Australian base.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Yes they are Australia, though are they They have to
be playing.

Speaker 17 (01:14:48):
For Australia with their African base to playing an English champion.
And regarding the dow of the parking, I packed in
Rockfield at rock.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
That's rydego Rockfield right, great place to park.

Speaker 17 (01:15:01):
Yeah, that three three parking everything. I was they charging
twenty to thirty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
How much does it cost a ticket to the football.

Speaker 17 (01:15:09):
It was twenty six dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Seems reasonable.

Speaker 17 (01:15:13):
Yeah, But I was telling these people were turning it
into Rockfield Road and I said to them there was
a guy that was going to shad them nearly twenty
dollars for the parking and I said I'd just go
around the corner at three and he got very upset
with me.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Was a kind thing to do? Was it halftime entertainment
or a grab for cash or anything?

Speaker 17 (01:15:30):
No, no, no, it was a kind thing to do.
But he didn't see it that way.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Yeah, but that's but that's not a business if you're
extorting people.

Speaker 17 (01:15:38):
Was it halftime on the same road. I mean crazy, was.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
It half time? Was it halftime entertainment?

Speaker 17 (01:15:46):
No, And I have to say I'm very disappointed that
they can't have someone. Surely find someone to sing the
national answers, paying it through a taper. Is it's not
the same. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Hey just thought, just a thoughteamer that might be Football
Federation rules because I think the wild up they just
have it piped in, so that might be something that they.

Speaker 17 (01:16:08):
Yes, but they had some sort of married type Malcolm
before or whatever, a little poetry thing or whatever was
that got to do with it, pudden, they had a
little merry welcome type thing to where they're blowing their before.
The actual.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
Hasn't been a good call for you, has it, Dean?

Speaker 17 (01:16:26):
No, that's all right. I'm just saying that the you know,
maybe there's the rulings.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
I don't know, but I think they normally play it.
They normally. It might be they just type it out
for the for football for football matches.

Speaker 17 (01:16:39):
I know, enjoyed. I'm just saying it's nice if someone
could be singing it, that's all. But next life, well you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Were supposed to sing it? Did they have half type entertainment.

Speaker 17 (01:16:51):
No, no, half time entertainment. Or they had they had
kew a ossie dressed up in the costume and they
had to spin around the wall five times and kick
it past the goalkeeper.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
But that's not half really half No, that's it's a
bit lame. Is it was it for cash?

Speaker 17 (01:17:10):
No, it was just and then it was just that's
not proper entertainment.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
I wouldn't go back with I Thank you ten ten
may Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:17:23):
Yes, I'd like to.

Speaker 28 (01:17:24):
Talk about rubbishpins. That's my big beer for the week.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Now, whereabouts are you and Gore?

Speaker 28 (01:17:32):
I've just shifted from him the Cagle where I had
a nice little rubbishpin for Gore where the rubber spin
is bigger than me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Why would you go from thele to Gore?

Speaker 12 (01:17:41):
Oh?

Speaker 28 (01:17:42):
Why would I go?

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
Are you killing?

Speaker 28 (01:17:43):
Of course? Lovely?

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Yes, I know? But is it the cargo?

Speaker 28 (01:17:48):
Well, there's less wind, more sunshine.

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
You're a long way from them, You're a long way
from the sea.

Speaker 28 (01:17:57):
Let's good is that from just right around the corner
from the river where we have trout fishing around four
doors away from Safari trout fishing person. So that's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
But me about yourubbish collection? Rubbish collection? You what's your question?

Speaker 12 (01:18:15):
Right?

Speaker 28 (01:18:15):
So the story is I rang up and I said,
can I please have a smaller rubbish than this?

Speaker 5 (01:18:20):
One?

Speaker 28 (01:18:20):
Is too heavy for me to even push out the gate.
And they said no, you can't. All cost thirty five
dollars And I said, but I'm giving you two bins
back and I'll be giving you less rubbish. Wouldn't that
be you know, the less rubbish would cost less, wouldn't it.
So therefore couldn't they cover the cost?

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
So you thought they'd be flexible. You thought they'd be
flexible about that.

Speaker 28 (01:18:44):
I'll be three. Given the rates give them that we
paid about twice the rates that you're paying in for
cargle here, I thought they'd be free and they said,
oh no, we have to get a contractor to bring
them out from him for cargole eighty five dollars.

Speaker 13 (01:18:59):
Well, so I thought, as.

Speaker 28 (01:19:01):
It's election months this month, that would be something good
for an election person to maybe have as a good
topic or do something about it. Because they're advertising, well,
have less rubbish. You know, there's a whole adversement on
the radio, and they're not encouraging it, really are they

(01:19:24):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:19:26):
So you want a smaller bin, I want a smaller one.

Speaker 28 (01:19:29):
Yeah, but I don't want to pay for it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
Because here's what I reckon you should do. Yep, get
a hot knife and cut your bed in half.

Speaker 28 (01:19:46):
Yes, I don't. Well, because I'm a pensioner, I don't.
Actually you know, I only put it out about once
a month for a start off. But it's so heavy
and so big. It's it's such a pain.

Speaker 11 (01:19:59):
Are you are you?

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Are you up? Hello? Down on the flat?

Speaker 7 (01:20:03):
Well, I'm on the flat.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Maybe it's not. It sounds like you've been been needs
bigger wheels. Can you attach it to your car and
drive it out?

Speaker 28 (01:20:14):
No, because the cows and the drivers on one side
and the bin. No, No you can't because it's on
the other side and there's only a footclf.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Bring them out.

Speaker 28 (01:20:27):
Well, I tried that too, but I didn't get any answer.
I rang that mister bell, but no answer, and I
went and saw the counsel.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
But no, No, what they say to you when they
said you want a smaller spin it's too heavy, too
hard to drag, I'll say, well, I'll.

Speaker 28 (01:20:43):
Have no burns in No, you can't have no burns
because we charge you eight hundred dollars or something on
your rates two years for those, so you can't have
no burns. So that was also another option because I
don't really you know, I don't use hard I don't
have hardly any.

Speaker 13 (01:20:59):
Rubbish it's a good thing.

Speaker 28 (01:21:02):
Well pretty much don't have any recycle stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
So yeah, I don't even know what. I don't even know.
I don't even know what happens a lot of the
recycling stuff down south. I think there's no market for
the old plastics.

Speaker 28 (01:21:13):
Well I don't. Well, I recycle my plastic milk bottles
to use planting, planting plants and and things like that,
so I use everything else. I don't need to recycle anything.
I'm busy planning plants and that until the garden and
that sort of thing, so and everything else For the rubbish,
I pretty much recycling.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
The council should be in vloying that they should be
employing you as a rubbish ambassador. With what you're doing.
You're a visionary mate. You should be doing You should
be doing courses for seniors about rubbish minimization and gardening.
If I was well, i'd be embracing.

Speaker 28 (01:21:48):
You well i'd be answering the phone, how arrogant if
I would like I would like to vote from because
I think the young ones of the future, you know,
I like to vote for young ones, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
The young ones. Is anyone going to get as Tracy
Hicks running in against him?

Speaker 28 (01:22:08):

Speaker 28 (01:22:23):
Yes, here there is a lady.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
Make sure the gangs went make sure the gangs went
there or something.

Speaker 23 (01:23:43):
Uh, yeah, I did.

Speaker 21 (01:23:44):
I did have.

Speaker 28 (01:23:46):
I did have a wonderful person from Harcourts and he
showed me around and he said, well, I've got a
house to sell. But unfortunately, this is Natara and if
you look over there to that red area, that's where
the unfortunately, that's where a game pad is.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Oh so are you and Gore and Mo Todo? Are
you in Gore?

Speaker 19 (01:24:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (01:24:07):
So that's why I bought in Gore, because there's this
lovely house in Gore just down the road from the
country Club where they have a lot of musical things.
And at Gore they have also the lovely gardens. Even
where you go, you've got to drive past the lovely
gardens and.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Sounds, have you, Yes, I have.

Speaker 28 (01:24:31):
I joined up there today. Yes. And they've got the
Breen Mountain Nursery, one of the best nurseries in the country.

Speaker 19 (01:24:40):
Been to that.

Speaker 28 (01:24:41):
Were are two taf for its thirty five clotters out
and they have all the landscape beautiful plants out there. Well, yes, no,
that's really good out there. And they have one of
the best a MP shows out there too. Yeah, so
the MP show. I haven't seen the one at Gore,
but it's at the end of my street pretty much.

(01:25:03):
So and so as the country club, and so as
the police at the end of my street. So figure
it's all happening.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
At the end of my street apart from your bins
from the Yeah, the bug bear is the bin.

Speaker 28 (01:25:21):
Yeah, so it can't sit cancelor sort the bin story out.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
No one's texted. No one's texted through. Someone said, may
have been disrespected by the mayor for whom the bell
told yeah, but did not reply. Very good, Okay, good
luck keep in touch.

Speaker 28 (01:25:40):
What I think that it's I think that's you know,
for small people.

Speaker 22 (01:25:44):
Well it's not.

Speaker 28 (01:25:45):
It's not not good having such big bins. It's discrimination against.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
Smaller people exactly, exactly.

Speaker 28 (01:25:52):
Well, yeah, but anyway, I'll let you go now.

Speaker 3 (01:25:54):
I'm surprised to get back to a more helpful may
thank you. I went to the football three dollars for
tiny pump and power, but power a twenty dollars for
parking ticket was twenty six dollars cheap. Evening out to
see Chris Wood, our greatest ever. Well, I thought they
was gonna say it was expensive for the power aid
the tiny pump. Who'd buy water at the football? Marcus?
I agree with the lady about the bins and all

(01:26:15):
can we on our charge for our bins and our rates.
I never feel my bin, but feel I have to
put it out because I pay for it. Ah that psychology, Yes,
I'm sure there's plenty of people doing that. We've got it,
we may as well use it. Yeah. We had someone
going around our bins and putting tags on to say
how well we' the actually processed our rubbish, which was exciting, though,

(01:26:35):
congratulating us for it because I driving covers. Oh god,
there's a note on the bin. We've done it wrong
and I've got out of care much surprised to see
it was a welcome note. I agree that lady about
the bins. Yes, that's right, the bins, the bins, the bins,
the great unresolved problem of councils everywhere. It was all

(01:26:55):
about recycling for a long long time. But the problem
with recycling as it encourages people to buy bad packaging. Actually,
now the plastic manufacturers really admitted that nothing really is
recyclable as far as plastic goes. So the thing is
not to buy stuff that's wrapped in plastic. We're on

(01:27:17):
plastic containers, but we're probably five years away from that
because we sold the message mainly from school children doing
trash to treasure fancy dress things that plastic was all.
The thing was all about recycling, but it's a crazy economy.
I just should deter manufacturers for making unreusable containers. But
that's me and I'm a lone voice on that. Marcus,

(01:27:39):
what would your early score prediction be for the Abays
versus the Springbok this week? In cheers from James and Hamilton,
I think the All Black the spring Box will come
back and win by twelve. But we're not doing a
sweep steak? Oh did we are? Was the boss? They
came up the money then, I hope. So I should
have talked to him about that, but didn't. Forgot to
mention that. Yes, it seemed to be a lot going on.

(01:28:07):
Twenty full past teen. Nick ats Marcus, welcome, Hey Marcus?

Speaker 17 (01:28:11):
How you doing good?

Speaker 19 (01:28:12):
Nick?

Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
No nonsense, Nick? What do you got?

Speaker 19 (01:28:15):
Lots of lots of roadworks coming home from the All
White game?

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Oh yeah, wow, tell me about that.

Speaker 19 (01:28:20):
Oh, motorway just just congested, having to go through the
back of Papakura to get through the Pooka Kelly. Now
pook A Kelly by the golf course. Motorwork, roadworks.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
I would have got the train.

Speaker 8 (01:28:33):
Oh no, there was.

Speaker 19 (01:28:34):
When I was driving in I heard the train. There
was some some sort of something went down on the trains.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
Oh yes, sometimes there's people on the tricks and stuff.
So that's not good. So you're still driving? Are you
still driving now? Nick?

Speaker 19 (01:28:45):
Still driving now?

Speaker 8 (01:28:46):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (01:28:47):
And no rescue my dog?

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
So what sart of the game finish?

Speaker 19 (01:28:55):
I can't remember now. But we stuck around because the
young fellow wanted to get the Chris woods autograph. But yes,
they ended up so we stuck around. We've got a
few of the autographs, and then I asked one of
the guys as I said, I was Chris wood Wood
coming out, and they said, no, he's catching a plane
to uh back to the UK.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
So and you'd think you'd think, oh, well, fair enough,
he's come a long way. We're lucky to have for
Mitch saying we're not getting the autograph.

Speaker 19 (01:29:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's just how it goes.

Speaker 14 (01:29:20):
It's good to see him though, good player.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
Great player. But it's funny then because I've noticed that
when we got a sports all the players come up
to side autographs, which I love. But it means the
games are now longer, doesn't it, because you've got to
hang around for free boring as appearance. Does they want
to get the autographs?

Speaker 19 (01:29:36):
Yeah? Yeah, And then we had to watch the Eis
win the ceremony for the Ashes, which will great.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
Okay, yeah, but is the lead of sleep in the car?

Speaker 19 (01:29:47):
No, he's actually in my wife's car and you're staying
in the city because he's got a school.

Speaker 8 (01:29:54):
He's going to high.

Speaker 19 (01:29:54):
School next year and he's got exams and then an
academic an academic assessment tomorrow for high school, and you've
got a sports assessment right after that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
Must some pretty high must be some pretty high bras
school you got him lined up for?

Speaker 19 (01:30:11):
Oh secret hope?

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
Oh god? Okay, yes, pretty straightforward here. You'll be more
nervous about the academic test than he will, won't you.
You'll be more nervous than he will.

Speaker 24 (01:30:24):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 13 (01:30:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:30:25):
Yeah, trying to put them up on things. But you
didn't want to bo of it five times during you
want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Oh he Oh, well, I'm sure he'll get it. Has
he got the faith? Does he of the right persuasion?
Does that help? I think you'll be baptized or something?

Speaker 13 (01:30:39):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:30:41):
We took him through all the old zacrament. I'm an
ext Catholic.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
Old Sacred Heart eh wow?

Speaker 13 (01:30:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Anyways, so what's wrong with the motorway. It's just scheduled maintenance,
isn't it is cutting out there?

Speaker 19 (01:30:59):
Nick?

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
Thank you, you're just cutting out Sacred Heart for those
that don't know what's it? Famous for Shawn Fitzpatrick and
Splitty and am I right the Finn? I think that's
the way it goes and citizen band. Am I right
with that one? Mike and Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:31:17):
Hello, good evening, Marcus, are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
Thank you? Mike?

Speaker 14 (01:31:23):
Just what yeah, just start.

Speaker 6 (01:31:26):
I was in a big showroom. There was some sound
bars in there.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
Oh, well back on sound bars. I love that as
a topic for the very interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
Yeah, did get to look it didn't really get it didn't.
It wasn't really interested. But I was at Harvey Norm
and I got myself for the first time in my
life a woolen douve in a what as opposed to
feather down cheapers.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
Is it a step up or a step sideways?

Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
Mike, Well, I guess an animal didn't have to die.

Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
All the dove but hang on to the geese die? Yeah,
I think so, I guess they would. But yeah, good point.

Speaker 6 (01:32:14):
I think with those feather down do vets, they stitched
compartments through there, about thirty centimeters squares right through the
bests down the Yeah, the feathers all bunch up though.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
They they poked through and they come through in Pokyo.

Speaker 19 (01:32:29):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:32:30):
But now I had to upgrade my laptop of my
phone and they go they don't, they don't give you
cast discounts anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
They give those damn vouchers and then you've actually always
got to go back there to get more and more
stuff and your yeah, it's it's a raw.

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
But them, I didn't just leave there with a laptop
on the phone, came out with a carlid of stuff
because they had to spend all these savings back with
it for other stuff. But yeah, it was all right,
not a bad bad plan, I guess. But year now
they had the World Douvets half priced, so one hundred

(01:33:04):
and fifty rather than three hundred. So wow, oh yeah,
that's it, sounds like they go.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
So are you road testing it tonight? Are you road
testing it tonight? Correct? You got it in the cover
all right?

Speaker 11 (01:33:19):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (01:33:20):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
And doesn't feel too heavy? Are you in the bed now, Mike?

Speaker 6 (01:33:24):
I am actually yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Does it feel heavy on top?

Speaker 24 (01:33:29):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:33:29):
I got a summer weight one because otherwise would be
too hot in winter. But yeah, it just feels well,
it feels different, but yeah, no, so far, so good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:39):
Nice to hear for intimate cool that enjoyed that there,
Old Mike Andness calling us from as underneath as a
new doner. Brilliant Always check a blankert if it gets
too cold in the winter. Mike, I think you did
the sensible option with the summer weight. Marcus. I took
out the recycling for my family, and sometimes I get
one of my younger sisters to help and she sees
some of her artwork or old coloring books and takes out.

(01:34:00):
Once we've done, it's like we never took any recycling out.
Loull can't use who for help any more, Henry, great,
joke it up anyway, get some calls going through if
you want to talk about the soundbars or anything else.
Don't feel free anything goes twenty eight to eleven Hittel,
twelve o'clock. Looking forward to input tonight, as I say,
eight hundred eighty eighty nine to nine to text if

(01:34:22):
you want to come through. So looking forward to your
conversations tonight. I wonder if in the end that everyone
will just go to individual providers for their rubbish. It
does seem to be a boy of vexed thing, doesn't it,
because it does be a one size fits all kind
of model. Yeah, good evening you. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:34:48):
Hello Marcus. This is Hugh from EGO. Hi, my evening,
rounds are shooting rabbits and I'm sitting here and run
around a lovely big plate of stew, spicy stew that
was from holst Speak. But it's not important.

Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
It's important, is it? Rabbit stew?

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Now?

Speaker 25 (01:35:05):
This is actually beef stew? Fatally, my wife. I don't
know why we had and bought half a pudo game
of chuck steak un to this fantastic stew. Yes, but
Gore and Binns, Now, I'm with that lady on Venus,
I think been Willington. We're quite sophisticated. We've got big
bins as wool bins. We've also got other companies apart

(01:35:28):
from the city council who you can hire Binns, and
some of those are red. And I'm thinking that the
lady in Gore and just by the way where I
met my wife who's now my wife, she wasn't my
wife when I met her. Obviously she was single. I
was too, but in nineteen eighty five and her flatmate
came from Gore. Yes, interesting, and his name was Stark.

(01:35:52):
And I'm just wondering if there's anybody called Stark who's
in Gore now, who's looking at us tonight. If you
talk about Ben's and Gore, Now that lady who's got
the But she should go to the NIXT to neighbor
and say, look, by myself, I only were as much
rubbish each week, like one of those five leads, you know,
little little rubbishments. You used to be able to fit

(01:36:13):
them into a shopping bed, but of course you don't
have those anymore. And she could say, how did I
come over here and I just put my rubbish in
your bin? You like to see him my bind backed
to the council. You can ask for an eight hundred
dollars credit on my rates bill.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
I don't think they will give you a credit on that.

Speaker 25 (01:36:31):
Well they should if you're not using a service.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Well you could say that about the library. Then everyone
want the money back. Is not using the library, or
they're not using the swimming pool, or they're not Yeah,
I think that, yeah, but she could I wonder if
she could sublet the space. I don't know the answer
to that.

Speaker 25 (01:36:45):
Then she should be able to get off using a
service you're not using. It's a little bit like pess control,
like everybody is is a situa. Your rates are for
pest control, then it goes to the Greater Willing to
Racial Council in this area, It might go to somewhere
else in your area, obviously, And but you never see
the Greater winning to regional Counsel would come to any

(01:37:07):
lifestyle block and do any shooting for you. So what
money you're paying for your rates just sort of goes
into a big pool somewhere and the never never land,
and you never see them. And you think, well, why
can't I take that section of my rates off and
give it to a private contract who will come and
shoot my rabbits? And then they say to me paying
you not to shoot my rabbits, I can pay him
to shoot my rabbits, and then we're all square.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
What does that money get? What does that money go
to you?

Speaker 25 (01:37:31):
It goes into the grand pool, the grand pool, And
like the grad went into the regional council. You might
be paying rates here and why can't I vargum at
secret with I am tonight? But the grad win I
think regional council goes up as far as the men
or two river.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
I think you know a specific question for me, do
they do they actually access specific pest control services?

Speaker 25 (01:37:53):
The great to Win through Regional councilor does piss control
services for the councils in this area, like Cavieritty Coast
District Council, Priori a city council. Winning a city council
because they don't employ people with guns. They want to
have sad in with guns, so they sublease. They employ
the Greater Winter Regional Council to be contractors to the

(01:38:15):
Willingness City Council, for example, so they must pay them.
So yeah, I guess that's where the rates can pissed
animal control part of your rates would go that way.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
I didn't re understand that, but I know it's complicated.
So who's the Who's who's the money going to.

Speaker 19 (01:38:35):
It?

Speaker 25 (01:38:36):
As a rate paying When I can, I pay it
to the winning in the city council. The winning the
city council then pays it to the Greater Winnington Recial
Council to do piss control. That's how I think it goes,
and that's how I know it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:38:47):
And who do the wedding in city council gets to
piss control because you see some areas don't get it.

Speaker 25 (01:38:52):
The Greater Winnington Regional Council do the whole of the
greater willing to racial council. But they do things like
poisoningsmosums up in the hills, but not necessarily on an
actual They don't you visit your lifestyle block. Don't come
to your house or your farm, like the rabbit boards
used to come to your house, you know, to your farm.

(01:39:14):
We had rabbit boards and rabbit boards would shoot. We'd
go and talk to the farmer and shoot or rabbits.
One of the farmers fars.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
People thought they was the best day of New Zealands
and we had rabbit boards. They loved that, they loved it.

Speaker 25 (01:39:25):
It was the best thing rabbits. And we did that
with did away with rabbit boards. Now we've got eats
and eats of rabbits everywhere. But it's also the trend
towards subdivision of large farms. Like large farms were proactive
in their pest control because it affected your bottom line,
and they liked to keep your farms nice and tire
to get rid of the rabbits and the bossles. But

(01:39:47):
now it's all carved up into fireble ten acre blocks
or twenty acre blocks, whatever it is. And you get
people who have covered in a city and don't understand
they need to control of the rabbits, and so you
get all these little lifestyle blocks that are infested with rabbits.
And that's why we've lost the battle against rabbits because
even though the responsibility falls I'm a property owner to

(01:40:07):
maintain TESS control on rabbits, if they don't do it,
the councilors are basically a toothless dog to try and
enforce meaningful est animal control.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Do you think do you think that you just ring
to sometimes has someone to talk to us?

Speaker 25 (01:40:24):
Yet your stew well, I just like listen to you
coinins Marcus. I've been out by myself in the rain tonight.
It's blind about twenty knots out here.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
Sometimes do you have ear mufs on you as you go?
You got to like a headset.

Speaker 25 (01:40:36):
Oh no, no, no no, I just focus on what
I'm doing. I don't district myself with things.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
So let's to be on the drive home.

Speaker 25 (01:40:43):
I've done the drive home. I get in my car
and I have my thermois of hot tea or sheep
or a bit of toast or whatever I have in
the middle of the night, and sometimes a hot stew
out of my thermous and I listened to what you're
talking about. I think, gee, that's interesting tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
I'm brilliant. That's what we're going to hear. You are
going to run, but nice to hear from you. Twenty
one to eleven, Marcus, eleven pocket have my own compost,
will stilf to pay for food waste into my right
to walking counter and you've had choice. Really sucks some
poor pensioner, Chris. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:41:14):
Oh five Marcus. I was just thinking of the lady
with the rubbish fun size, which is quite I'm on
my own and not that I can dome plastic bags
and I was there.

Speaker 29 (01:41:27):
We've got rid of them.

Speaker 16 (01:41:28):
But I used to put one out, a small bag
out every three to four weeks and I could pay
my rubbish here in Dunedain probably seventy eighty dollars for
the whole year for rubbish collection, and now it costs
me about three hundred dollars. That's what I found, a
big jump in the rape for rubbish rubbish collection, especially

(01:41:52):
when you live on your own.

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Which is.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
Indeed, did you ever used to have a coupon system?

Speaker 14 (01:41:59):
Did you?

Speaker 12 (01:42:01):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:42:01):
You just purchased you could buy your own waste management fins.

Speaker 21 (01:42:06):
But you.

Speaker 16 (01:42:09):
You will purchase black bags, which went ideal, but a
small one or a large one if you didn't hire
your own bin. So the bins are great, better than
plastic bags. But I could, you know, suddenly my rubbish
collection on my rates, oh quadrupled, you know, which would
have happened to a lot of people, pensioners and all

(01:42:31):
sorts of people. I guess. So that's what I found.
Hard like a family, a large family. I'll just make
this up. Eight people in the household. Yeah, like most
things for single people. Not that I'm moaning about that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
It's a tax, it's a text on being single.

Speaker 19 (01:42:52):
It is.

Speaker 16 (01:42:52):
It's like paying your power ball. You've got to heat
the house for one and you know, but I just
found that. I just was also reading while I was waiting.
The Dunedan City Council don't have an option on bin
size as they go for a stand one. They do
have a small green one for green waste, a tiny
wee one, but the other ones are standard.

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
And I don't know what sort of people would need
a green waste spin because surely it's so straightforward just
to composts. I can't work out why people wouldn't do that.

Speaker 16 (01:43:20):
But yeah, well that takes me ages to fill one
of them because I do compoff. But yeah, yeah, but
that's another thing with the rates. Like everyone, council rates
jumped up immensely, but this time around it jumps up
for the rubbish fleect. So but it does say that

(01:43:42):
the reason being there's no different rates for how much
you put out, it's because I've got to send the
track that's to empty them, no matter what the size,
or you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:52):
I don't know, I don't really, I don't really buy
that because before the old system, right the I think
now because now it's a one size fits all that
single people are subsidizing the families, aren't they because they're
beginning it'll be the same cost to do it, but
they're just taking the cost in different ways.

Speaker 16 (01:44:10):
Well that's what I thought, and I didn't want to
sound mean spirited, because families are allowed to be whatever
size they want to be, you know, yes, but you
know there are lots of large families in New Zealand now,
quite large, just because housing's so unaffordable and sadly there
is overcrowding too, and they will pay the same for
their rubbish as I will pay for one little person.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
But I guess councils do one size fits all approaches.
The same with library and part world. You know, it's
hard to know because the complicated situation.

Speaker 16 (01:44:40):
But yeah, yeah, it's a bit like all sorts of
things in this world, like tensions, universal tensions where they
don't split hairs between who gets it and who doesn't.
Lots of things in life.

Speaker 3 (01:44:52):
That not yet, not yet they will one day though.
I would imagine the way things are going with the
cost of living, in the cost of pensions. I wouldn't
be surprised if that happens. There's some means test on that.

Speaker 16 (01:45:04):
Yes, that's right, but yeah, it's an interesting way, and
you know, living a line as expenses in general, I
find that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
Yeah, look, I entirely agree with you, but yeah, I
appreciate you called Chris. Thank you. It's fifteen to eleven.
If you want to talk Marcus till twelve manly to
know we've been talking about sound bars. I've enjoyed that. Oh,
get in touch if you want to talk here till
twelve o'clock. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nineteen

(01:45:33):
nine two to text. If you we are talking rubbish.
We've got into it because of course this today was
the first day for voting in the local body elections.
It's a postal vote. The number of people that voted
to below fifty percent now, so we're not as many
people vote in local body elections as central government elections.
But it does start as a postal vote. It goes
for five weeks, but you can post you can vote

(01:45:54):
anytime you like. You can vote on the first day
or the last day someone that likes to get it
out of the way. Then you can avoid the boring
conversations like who are you going to vote for? You say, well,
I've already voted who for? None of your business. That's
you can say. So that's happening. Oh do get in touch.

(01:46:20):
Oh way T one hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine.
Xt you want to get through. If there's something else
you want to mention to come through. Keep those emails coming,
peill send me quite long text. I can't reply to
complicated texts on air, obviously the text are to be
read on air. Someone asked why radio ZB was called

(01:46:42):
a ZEDB almost kind of sent me a text about
that Radio ZB is called ZB because the brand name
originated from the call sign one ZEDB, the Auckland station
that began broadcasting in nineteen twenty six. While one ZEDB
was the sign for the initial Auckland station, the name
was a nott bit more broadly for the network of
music later talkbackstations and four major centers one ZEDB, two ZB,

(01:47:05):
three ZB four ZEDB before evolving into the modern news
talk ZB network. That's right. When I started this radio
station in nineteen ninety we did talkback and it was
called one ZEDB and the talkback was just for Auckland
and that was mid dawn shows also just for Auckland.

(01:47:28):
So it was amazing when you how many people rang up,
considering it was just broadcasting to like a quarter of
New Zealand. But yeah, there we go. Less radio stations then.
Not even sure what the market share was in those days.
I don't even know how to find out. Actually, not
that interested. By the way, the government you want to

(01:47:49):
have read this. The government set to launch a one
off major Events Fund, which it hopes will boost international
visit numbers and drive economic growth growth. Over the past
year's big names such as Lady Gear, Oasis and Kendrick
Lamarrev tour in Australia but skip New Zealand, leading calls
from inside the local event for government support to attract
tourists to these shores. Upston Louise, Minister Tract Tourism confirmed

(01:48:12):
to Stuff that the Minister would have more to say
about the fund soon, adding the government's quarter th reaction
Plan specifically references the launch of the fund. So there
we go. There's going to be a fun to attract
international activity to New Zealand. There was a fund but
you couldn't be banned, but the new one you can

(01:48:33):
have bands. That's my understanding. So yeah, over the past year,
Pink Travis Scott, Coldplay, Luke Combs and Pearl Jam have
all played stadium shows in New Zealand. Meanwhile, Metallica are
set to Bladen Park in November and each year and
is touring twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:48:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
I don't quite know how that works because I have
always been of the belief that the groups we don't get,
like the Taylor Swift, are all because we haven't enough accommodation.
Marcus the Brad and filmed The Brad pit Ad filmed
at Warnica and directed by takeaway titty about coffee is underwhelming.
Thought it might have been better. Saw it by chance?

(01:49:16):
Great location? I thought it might be Gonorky. I thought
it wasn't bad. So I watched that commercial and my
first thoughts was, hang about I'm watching a commercial before
I watch a commercial. So I watched the commercial and
then I watched the ad was at DELONGEI, and I
was waiting for a great laugh at the end. But
you know what I thought. I came away from that

(01:49:38):
ad desperate for a cup of coffee like he was having,
because it appeared to be a coffee machine that made
him a nice coffee. It looked extraordinary. I looked at it,
I thought, jeepest creepers, Where can I buy one of those?
So Yes, even though you might have thought the ad
was humorous, it was incredibly effective. It was just the

(01:49:59):
dog and Brad Pitt and the coffee, and I thought wow,
and all the eyes were on the coffee. I looked
at it, I thought, jeepest creepers. That's a good So
there we go. So that's the story there, Marcus. I
used to listen to Alan Dick talk back most nights
when I was flatting in nineteen eighty seven and couldn't

(01:50:20):
afford a TV. That's from Vicky. That was it Alan
Dick or was it George Bllaney? Because I always thought
George bllaney was everywhere out of Auckland doing the all
night I didn't know that it was Alan Dick, but
they might have taken over. I thought George Bllaney was
there forever. That was my understanding. But Alan Dick had
esteemed an esteemed broadcaster and one of the good guys.

(01:50:44):
So yeah, I didn't know about that. That's of interest
to me. Just adding towards the news people. But thanks
for those texts and emails. If you've got something else
to say about something else good, can handle it all tonight.
But just don't see me texts about specific informational things
because you know what, I don't really have a lot

(01:51:05):
to say about that. So eight hundred and eighty ten,
eight nineteen ninety two to text anything goes he until
twelve o'clock tonight. Do you want to talk? We are
there for you. It Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:51:20):
Hey Marcus. And on Sunday night he was I must listen.
In my opinion, it's going back all wee ways. But
he was classic, not about cars, motor cars.

Speaker 3 (01:51:32):
What year we talking?

Speaker 10 (01:51:34):
Oh, crikee, crikee, Marcus, we're going back twenty some years.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Probably would it be the would it be the late eighties?

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
Yes, yes, it would be. That was pretty much.

Speaker 30 (01:51:48):
I was pretty much a young fellow. But I was
sitting up listening with a family with like you know
I was. It would have been later in the evening,
but was pretty much compulsory listening. He was excellent, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:52:02):
You've always had You've always had passion for radio, haven't you.

Speaker 11 (01:52:06):
Well, you know my favorite Bruce Russell.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
Of course, well he might come back with AI.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Oh mate, you'll never.

Speaker 11 (01:52:15):
Hear, you'll never riplicate, no one to Ripkate Bruce.

Speaker 19 (01:52:18):
But I.

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
Wasn't far away, mate?

Speaker 11 (01:52:22):
Was my four points?

Speaker 3 (01:52:24):
Oh no, you've read close. It must have been hard
to watch that. Yes, they could have got a penalty
kick and you would all been good. You would all
been good, Dave, You would have got the built were
the bill tongue or the butter bill tongue? Of course
we should have next time. Who's second, thirds and fourth?
I've got to go go commercials day, But thanks for
that Head on Midnight. My name is Marcus. Welcome, Good evening, Marcus.

(01:52:46):
Beside the other four Z b's, he was at one
time a five z'd be which operated from a train.
That's right, got a poster of that, A five Z B.
Anything goes hit till twelve. We have talked about soundbars
and bins, an interesting way to cook instant noodles, including
them just putting them in a toasted sandwich maker. I'll
try that tomorrow. It's one of the most interestings I've

(01:53:10):
ever heard that from that guy. So you might have
a hack like that. Also, anything else you want to
talk about too. Every topic's on the list tonight, so
you feel free to come through if you do want
to talk Marcus till twelve. As I say, oh, eight
hundred and eighty twenty nine nine text eight past eleven,
be good to hear from you. If there's something you
want to add tonight, they're better talk about the football tonight.

(01:53:32):
Chris Wood scores in dashes to the airport, so he
must have got a flight out that night. Didn't do
the signatures substitute In the sixty seventh minute, Chris Wood,
after briefly watching for the sideline the thirty three one
was down the tunnel to sheriff to seventy five minutes

(01:53:52):
inteach of leaving the grounds before fans started flying for
the stands and before it became gridlocked. Should have had
a helicopter. So that's amazing that he was out of
there so quickly. I don't know what the play. I
often think what the players feel like when they play
their heart out and sometimes they lose and sometimes they win,

(01:54:14):
and then after the match, you've got to hang around
for the hours, for an hour with the children's autographs,
you know. I know it's I know it's it's good,
it's good creating the fan base. But I do wonder
what the players think about that. If you had a
bad game and feel terrible, it must be terrible to
sort of hang around to sign autographs, just to wonder
what your thoughts about that. The other question I have

(01:54:34):
right something I've never really understood. You know, with poker tournaments,
someone will be watching poker on the TV, you know,
with poker tournaments, and it might be a fifteen one
hundred dollars entry fee and there might be a thousand

(01:54:56):
people in there for that competition. Why does the winner
not get all that money? Because it seems to be
contrived in some ways that they don't get all the
money that the people have got because because I thought
the way poker worked is that you want everything. So
that's something I've pondered for a while.

Speaker 12 (01:55:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:55:14):
You might have an explanation for that, or maybe there's
something I'm not understanding about that, or maybe it's just
they give away second, third, and fourth prizes to get
people in there where it's a good, good answer to yourself.
Marcus eleven eleven, My name is Marcus. Welcome he to
the end. If you want to talk, Oh e one
hundred eighty nine two, detective, you want to come through

(01:55:37):
anything else you've got jumping as I say, that's what
we're about tonight. How do you cook instant noodles and
a sandwich maker? Do you boil them? First? No, this
guy was telling us and he was from Panemenium a prison.
Then they have one of those flat toasted sandwich makers,
like the flat and they just put them on there

(01:55:59):
and sandwich it and put the flavoring on. It was delicious.
I shall try it tomorrow if it don't Google up
now to see if anything written about that instant noodles
toasted sandwich maker. But we're looking for interesting things. You've
done with noodles, and that was about as interesting as

(01:56:22):
you get. So, I mean people put it between bread
and cook and cook noodles, but no one's done the
raw noodles. No, but I'm gonna try it.

Speaker 7 (01:56:40):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:56:42):
No, he's very specific at what he said, and that's
exactly what he said. He said, you put just that
raw slab of noodles and it becomes a crunchy snack
and you put the flavor on it. So you've got something.
G You've got a lot of sevens in your number,
Gary Flip. So yeah, that's the situation because that's what Yeah,

(01:57:09):
and the pop moodle, the pot middles are the same thing,
I think, Dan, They're just they're just a yeah, they're
just we've got some vechies and stuff in them. Thirteen past.
If you want to talk with the fun, allow Marcus
till twelve. There's something different you want to mention good,
I can handle that, but anything else, anything goes. Let's
be hearing from you. Whatever you got. Where are there

(01:57:30):
for you? People? Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine two text If you want to be
part of the show tonight, So jump on, let's be
hearing from you. On the other thing, too, is what's
the government going to pay for? There's this big fun
to get overseas actor overseas events to come. I don't
know what they are. Now I'm getting ads thanks to
my Google search history. I'm getting ads for I hope

(01:57:52):
to do a Minigulf with Rabbits. Last thing I need, Terry,
This is Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:57:59):
Welcome today, Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:58:01):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:58:02):
Thank you, Terry.

Speaker 24 (01:58:05):
You're talking about time today? Last night?

Speaker 3 (01:58:07):
Yes? Was it last time? The night before last night?
Those two it must have been last night. Yes, you're right.

Speaker 2 (01:58:15):
On sixty.

Speaker 24 (01:58:15):
And it's something I only found out a couple of
years ago. With a nine times table. All the arms
is that up to nine? Yes, like two nine to eighteen.
They're taking one three, nine to twenty seven seven and two.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Twelve nine or one hundred and eight one eight nine.

Speaker 24 (01:58:37):
Yes, sure, you know. I thought that was quite interesting,
considering it took me sixty years to get to figure out. Well,
I heard it on the radio, I think somewhere but.

Speaker 3 (01:58:46):
Eleven nine eleven's ninety nine aired that together eighteen and
one and eight together at nine.

Speaker 24 (01:58:54):
Yeah, got a useless information.

Speaker 22 (01:58:57):
Yes.

Speaker 17 (01:58:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:58:58):
The other thing that people teach now with times tables,
like how can I explain this? So three times eight, yeah,
twenty six, twenty four, twenty four yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:59:15):
Got me there.

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
No, I'm talking about something like two times six, right, yeah,
is the same as if you double one side, you
have the other side. So two times six is the
same as four times three. Yeah, And that's one of
the true I think now when they take the timetables,

(01:59:37):
people understand more how the numbers work, different techniques with that, yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 24 (01:59:43):
Yeah, it's definitely changed in nowadays because I.

Speaker 3 (01:59:46):
Think I think once they had people write learn A
lot of people liked it, but a lot of people
that drove them crazy from the room. They never go
and they gave up a meths forever because yeah, my
child have just come as sort of yeah, so coming
towards the end of primary school and they weren't going
the full noise the times table the whole time. But

(02:00:07):
they've come through primary school having extremely good command of
numbers and the times table probably better I think than
when I was at school.

Speaker 5 (02:00:15):
Oh it's that's a plus.

Speaker 3 (02:00:17):
Isn't it. Someone said? Someone said, so does the three
times and the six times table. But I don't think
that's right because six times two is twelve and that
doesn't end together to nine. Someone said all the am
frequencies add up to nine e g. Ten eighty.

Speaker 24 (02:00:34):
Yeah, my jam was but slow and didn't pick it
up barely enough.

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
Oh no, it's always. I mean, you know all your
times tables now they're clear out you Terry.

Speaker 24 (02:00:46):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00:48):
I think times tables are fine till they get over
over ten. The eleven twelves and twelve elevens, and they're
the ones that I mean, there's only about three of
them that catch you out, but they always do. Twelve twelves,
eleven twelves actually only two of them really, or eleven
elevens there the one you think over ten can't be more.
They always catch you out. That's for me. Welcome people
eight hundred and eighty to today.

Speaker 19 (02:01:09):
D Well.

Speaker 3 (02:01:10):
I know with my children on long drives, if there's
number plates, we'd multiply the three numbers together, so at
like two seven four you'd go seven fours, twenty eight,
two fifty six. That was good for them and they
became quite quick at times tables on the back not
as quick as me, but challenging. Of course, it was
one and zero be very easy. Well, I think you

(02:01:32):
might might be zero in number plates. It was one
that was very easy. But after a while you've become
quite good at that. Now we find words from the
from the three letters in order, so it might be
it might be AFG, it might be FGAM, but that's
probably nown. But you're on fgambiscuits. I suppose you could

(02:01:53):
do anyway, do get in touched on talking. That might
as Marcus Headle twelve, head of the Bitter End, Marke,
you should try my crunchy snack of stir fries on
a crushed up vegetable on a plate. Marcus, you used
to word jeepist creepers because you'd rather use Jesus Christ. No,
I don't think a ready blessed feme. I'm not something
that does that. I don't like that. I don't like

(02:02:14):
people on the radio that do that. We used to
boil noodles for a couple of minutes, till soft and cooked,
then drain the water, add flavor, and deep fry them
in oil to their crispy. Marcus, noodle omelets are nice.
Look it up. I didn't need to. I could make
that also to the Rugby Women's Rugby World Cups on

(02:02:36):
it's been a remarkable tournament. But man, there's gonna be
huge disappointment. I found the UK does if England doesn't
win that and the kiwis looking pretty good. But the
Red Rose had a very easy pool United States, Sammo
in Australia, It's going to get difficult for them, but

(02:02:56):
being a fantastic organized tournament. But kiwis looking great. If
I can say that that triple tree, that what's it called?
That hat trick twice two games, brilliant twenty four past
eleven ten beverages from twelve tonight. Good evening, Jonathan, It's

(02:03:19):
Marcus welcome. Hello, Hi Jonathan.

Speaker 13 (02:03:24):
Hi, Yeah, I was just give me a You were
asking about different topics and so I just thought, yeah,
something that people complain that I see on Facebook sometimes
is that they never get like upgrades on any Zealand.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
Oh yes, and like.

Speaker 13 (02:03:44):
Yeah, and I'm just thinking about myself, like I've never
been declined an upgrade really, and I'm like, yeah, I've
been a still remember at a New Zealand for ten
years and never been declined an upgrade request.

Speaker 3 (02:04:01):
Are you a frequent flyer?

Speaker 13 (02:04:04):
Yeah, a little bit, but like I travel around your
Zellan a lot. But when I go like international, like
to l A, like I upgrade from economy to premium
or premium to business. And I've never had my request
to client.

Speaker 3 (02:04:24):
Who would you ask for that, Jonathan?

Speaker 13 (02:04:27):
I just put it through the system online and it's okay,
always works okay.

Speaker 3 (02:04:32):
I never knew that was I'd never ask for an upgrade.
It always seems a bit biggie for me. But I
don't fly much. I say, I said, there's there's a
process now on the computer frauders there.

Speaker 11 (02:04:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:04:42):
So like when your silver was in US only you
get one free upgrade okay, and like if your gold
yet too, I think.

Speaker 19 (02:04:53):
So.

Speaker 12 (02:04:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:04:54):
Every year that I've used it, I've always been improved.

Speaker 3 (02:04:58):
How come you travel so much there, Jonathan?

Speaker 13 (02:05:01):
Just the work that I do, okay, just means that
I have to yeah Ben jetson for meetings and things.

Speaker 3 (02:05:10):
What sort of work is it?

Speaker 6 (02:05:14):
Uh?

Speaker 24 (02:05:14):
So I work in.

Speaker 13 (02:05:18):
And sales.

Speaker 3 (02:05:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, well you must be good at it.

Speaker 13 (02:05:23):
So yeah, I have to go to the cargo eats Dunedin.
So I love in Auckland.

Speaker 3 (02:05:29):
Yeah, so what's the product, uh the.

Speaker 13 (02:05:38):
Yeah, it's just financial sales.

Speaker 3 (02:05:40):
Yeah so oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, we might talk
more about that, Jonathan. Nice to hear from you think
you're twenty six past eleven evening, Marcus, noodle's cooking a
pot my bought daughter got three degrees boons after playing
noodles out of the microwave. The bulb being hot dropped
on your leg. Marcus. I like two minut noodles us
in a mint stew when I've got no spuds. It's

(02:06:01):
the great, that's what those cookbooks about. But I just
can't get into the far of a drop of raw
in the middle of a cup of two minut noodles
straight into the boiling water. It doesn't always cook the
egg properly, and microwaving doesn't work. If anything, it makes
it worse. Marcus. My American friends say cheese and rice
with Jesus Christ. It's quite good that cheese and rice

(02:06:23):
near Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (02:06:25):
And Marcus near here listen. Yeah, I just wanted to
see what you reckon about. Like when we played South Africa,
the All Blacks played South Africa. What do you think
it'll happen next week? Because South Africa's had a we're
give him a good heiding.

Speaker 3 (02:06:43):
But seven points of good hiding?

Speaker 12 (02:06:47):
Oh yeah, I reckon. I was like they were it
could have been anybody's game.

Speaker 3 (02:06:53):
Yeah, that's what I thought. It could have been anyone's game.

Speaker 12 (02:06:57):
Yeah, right up to the end. But what was the
final score?

Speaker 3 (02:07:03):
Was it twenty four to seventeen or something? That was
seven point seven points? Was the margin?

Speaker 11 (02:07:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (02:07:08):
There were seven points different in them. Yeah yeah, I
mean they were sort of chasing us. Year could have
gone either way. I thought.

Speaker 3 (02:07:15):
That's what I think about rugby these days. It can
go either way, isn't it. It's sort of a it's
a I don't know about that. It feels quite random
sometimes the way the school works out.

Speaker 12 (02:07:26):
Yeah it does.

Speaker 5 (02:07:27):
Yeah, yeah, I guess that'd sport.

Speaker 3 (02:07:29):
Though, anyway, isn't it. Did you enjoy watching it?

Speaker 2 (02:07:32):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (02:07:32):
Hell yeah. I can't wait till the next play game,
the next games in Wellington.

Speaker 4 (02:07:37):
Isn't that?

Speaker 5 (02:07:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:07:38):
You're going to go to it?

Speaker 19 (02:07:40):
No?

Speaker 12 (02:07:40):
No, no, I'd want to just sit here and watch
it and have a couple of bourbons and that and
watch it on my TV.

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
You bourbon with Yeah? I thought it might have been
you ever been to a rugby test?

Speaker 12 (02:07:55):
Oh hell yeah, yeah, what was the last one? You
were not not for years and years. But I used
to play rugby a lot. I played for Zingaree and Timorrow.

Speaker 3 (02:08:06):
Oh wow, Zinger, wow, you know when I.

Speaker 12 (02:08:10):
Was Actually we had a seven a side tournament down
there between Star and Timorrow, Zingaree and Timorrow and why
Matty just for three teams and yeah the why medi
outfort got a runaway try and I tackled this this

(02:08:36):
guy I had come across from the other side and
I tackled him, and yeah, we both ended up hitting
the bloody gold paste. And of course, back in those days,
he had a sack around the bottom of the gold
paste and it was all stacked up with straw. But

(02:08:57):
the birds used to pinch all the straw out of
their sack and take them away for their nests and
the bill ness. So anyway, and then this other bloke
hit that there, and that's all I remembered, apart from
the fact that I wake up in the Timaru Public
Hospital all covered and blood and one thing and another there,

(02:09:23):
and Mom and Dad standing beside me. Now they need
to come to the game with me or anything, And
I thought what's going on here? Because I, you know,
I was a concustant all the rest of it that yees,
So I lost all my teeth. Then all my girlfriends
left me. I want a good looking guy much more.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
And they ended up with a.

Speaker 12 (02:09:50):
A They wanted to put a plate in the top
of me now with five teeth in it, and the
plate in the bottom was seven seven teeth in it,
and to replace the ones that got knocked out. Oh no,
it might have been getting that wrong, but they was
going in that with three takes from one deck on

(02:10:12):
the afford deb so they should take them all out.
So I got I ended up a false teeth at
that age.

Speaker 5 (02:10:17):
Yere.

Speaker 19 (02:10:18):
Wow?

Speaker 12 (02:10:19):
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:10:20):
Did your girlfriend leave you because of that?

Speaker 12 (02:10:23):
No? I thought you would have you know. Yeah, No,
I end up there and here.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
So oh that's a good thing. That's a bit a story.

Speaker 12 (02:10:34):
Yeah, yeah, no, it all worked out good.

Speaker 3 (02:10:38):
You waked out real good.

Speaker 5 (02:10:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:10:41):
Why do they call the team zingery Zinger?

Speaker 12 (02:10:45):
Yeah? That was the name of this team.

Speaker 3 (02:10:47):
What was it was it called that? Didn't it?

Speaker 12 (02:10:50):
I don't know. It's like, why do they call it Star?
Like there was a team in primary cooled Star. There
was one and like there was a Zinger E team
and must have stood for something, but I'd never have Muster's.

Speaker 3 (02:11:04):
Probably it's probably some military background, so it's probably an
old naval tom or something.

Speaker 12 (02:11:09):
I don't know what it would have been.

Speaker 3 (02:11:11):
I think a lot of teams have star and pirates
and a lot of a zingery.

Speaker 12 (02:11:16):
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 5 (02:11:17):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11:18):
How do you use your teeth? Did you run into
the pole?

Speaker 8 (02:11:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (02:11:22):
Yeah, when I take a the sky, we both hit
the bloody lead.

Speaker 3 (02:11:25):
But you know that one of the lands or the
or the straw beeg picked out?

Speaker 12 (02:11:30):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11:32):
In how many sets of false teeth if you had
your whole life.

Speaker 12 (02:11:36):
Then oh, just this one set. But they want I
have to go in shortly and get them remodeled in
that because.

Speaker 3 (02:11:47):
Because your one set of teeth lasted that whole time.

Speaker 12 (02:11:50):
Yeah, but I've had them remodeled about three times, four
three or four times.

Speaker 6 (02:11:54):
Well, what do they do that?

Speaker 3 (02:11:55):
Because your jaw changes, does it?

Speaker 11 (02:11:57):
Yeah? It does?

Speaker 12 (02:11:58):
It shrinks. As you get older, your jaws will shrink
and your bodies or the rest of your bodies shring
your bones shrink in. Yeah, so.

Speaker 19 (02:12:12):
What do they do?

Speaker 3 (02:12:13):
They fill them up a bit?

Speaker 17 (02:12:14):
Do they.

Speaker 12 (02:12:17):
No, they make them. They make the plates all thicker,
so that what we're we're having.

Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
Your news, Well now they make them thicker, add stuff
to it.

Speaker 12 (02:12:28):
Yeah, they make new plates.

Speaker 3 (02:12:30):
Yeah, okay, well, yeah, it's amazing the technology for how
many years ago? Is it special? Your teeth?

Speaker 5 (02:12:37):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (02:12:37):
Hell, I'm I'm eighty. I was born in nineteen forty five,
sixth a January nineteen forty five, so I'm maybe year
and a half years now old, and this would have
been and I was playing those games for I was
fort of like fifteen, fifteen years of age. They said,

(02:12:59):
while back, Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:13:01):
It's amazing that the false teeth of technology was that
good back then.

Speaker 12 (02:13:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah they made them because well I would
have had no teeth.

Speaker 3 (02:13:11):
No, no, I'm saying that. Yeah, but the old days,
the old days, they made falsties own of bits of water.
I think Lincolnhead wouldn't.

Speaker 27 (02:13:19):
Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:13:21):
They have nice to hear anything else anything else from you?
Anything else from you?

Speaker 12 (02:13:27):
No, that's about Marcus here.

Speaker 3 (02:13:29):
Pretty good. I love the way you start your call
always with listen, listen, listen, Larede Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 27 (02:13:40):
Him, Marcus. I wanted to talk to you about instant noodles.
I always had them as a snack food in the
house and raising four boys, and then recently when I
was weddowed, I didn't feel like cooking sometimes and I'd
have just haveem an instant noodles. But then I heard

(02:14:00):
on the radio one afternoon this lady came on and
said that they're one of the worst foods that you
can have. We treat them like a pastor, but they're
not a pastor yet. But no, that they're full of
of all sorts of chemicals and additives and there's nothing
natural about them at all. I thought, no, they're harmless things,

(02:14:23):
but I haven't touched one since.

Speaker 3 (02:14:26):
The radio influence you like that.

Speaker 4 (02:14:29):
I know.

Speaker 27 (02:14:31):
I'm the one who gave you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:33):
Who was this doomsayer?

Speaker 27 (02:14:35):
Yeah, I wish I knew now, But I haven't touched
instant noodle since because you know, you don't want to
fill up on chemicals and preservatives and not have anything
in it that's any.

Speaker 3 (02:14:48):
Good for you at all, and high sodium and unhealthy fat.

Speaker 27 (02:14:56):
I'm worrying about the edmundscon mix too.

Speaker 3 (02:14:59):
Yes, yes, well, people love you for that.

Speaker 27 (02:15:02):
I know It's so easy and tell them sor kanascons,
or even better, just throw a handful of sultanas.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
And why sometimes sultana's work are not raisins. What's the difference.
So they've got a better kind of a taste to them,
have they?

Speaker 27 (02:15:17):
Yeah? I think so. Raisins are bigger, darker, whereas the
sultanas are just small and juicy.

Speaker 3 (02:15:26):
Don't you sultana's for much other stuff, do you?

Speaker 12 (02:15:28):
You?

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
They're kind of uncelebrated, the sultana. You never hear them anymore?

Speaker 27 (02:15:32):
These Yeah, okay, they're great and in the scones anyway,
So good luck with the with the.

Speaker 3 (02:15:42):
I wish I was doing it here now. I wish
I had brought the toasted with raprings. I can't actually
I could have probably gone at halftime anyway, thank you, Lorrain.
Twally went away from twelve Marcus anyone? You know who
the new James Bond ended up? But I'm sick of

going to be? Who? Than who he is? Gosh, they go,
what's just on and on about that. I've always thought

(02:16:04):
James Bond movies are dark. I watched them as a kid,
but not as an adult. Daft kind of a carry on.
Someone said that Christopher Luxon might be the next James Bond,
but I don't quite know what that means. If it
means he's going to be out of a job, or
he'd be good as James Bond. Marcus. I always add
a handful each of fresh carry on to pass the
chung of cheese coming to matter as every coat of

(02:16:25):
fresh Gaelic and chilie to my noodles. That makes it
good for you? Ah, you jush him up? Cheese and rice?

I've had a bad button moment. He's an interesting text, Marcus,
just asking because I haven't heard. I haven't heard it mentioned,
but will you have tickets to just send it aduned
movie to give away? I haven't heard, but it's always
a possibility, so keep listening if there's a chance of that.
It seems to be a bit of interest around that too,

(02:19:08):
so I'll see what I can do about that. I
don't know where. I don't even know when it opens. Well,
they've spilled at Arden, so they can't be that much
of a fan mind. That's the thing about leaders. It
was always John Keyes. It was always just center. That's
always Chris Luxon's I think they say, is that right?

Door twelve from twelve Judith Marcus welcome.

Speaker 23 (02:20:06):
Yes, hello, just the lady that rang up about the
DCC large rubbish turns rubbish buns. I've just changed by
yellow lidd and red lid bin to a smaller size
and you just go into DCC, pay thirty two dollars

(02:20:29):
or something about that much, and they tell you when to.

Speaker 11 (02:20:32):
Put it out. The old big one.

Speaker 23 (02:20:34):
Gets picked up and you get much more easily managed
smaller bin.

Speaker 3 (02:20:41):
So you've got to pay more, Jude, if you've got
to pay more money to get a smaller bin, is
that right? You don't get a discount for your collection,
or the fact they're disposing these, well, that seems to
mean spirited.

Speaker 23 (02:20:49):
No, you an't good discount. My red bud was all
special up anyway because it blew down the road and
got spaced up, so that would be good thing that anyway,
I sat.

Speaker 3 (02:21:03):
I set fire to my bin, which was which was embarrassing. Yeah,
well the fire department came wrong. We had to try
to take it around the back of the house and
are some bears had to hide it from the fire department.
So yeah, it wasn't. God just come back to me
that there's a bad memory.
