Episode Transcript

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):
Greatest and welcome. I hope it's good where you are. Hey,
A couple of things to tell you. Firstly, I'm not
happy with that all Blacks two have been called the
Grand Slam too. I think that reeks of arrogance. Have
I missed something there? I just hope that win will
lose the first one to get that out of the way.
I don't like that at all. You go play all
these teams and sudden you talk about a Grand Slam.

(00:33):
I mean, if they get winded that in the Northern Hemisphere,
they'll make particul If we lose, they'll make them. They
will ridicule us anyway. By the way, too, I am calling.
I'm calling. I am broadcasting from the south of the country. Today.
At four, five and six o'clock it was twenty seven degrees.
It's extraordinary day, extremely hot. So yes, I don't know

(00:53):
if we top the country with the temperature. It feels
like we did twenty seven so must be the winds
for the north or something like that. Cricket's on TV one,
is it, Dan. I'll keep you updated with the cricket schools.
Also tonight Black Caps versus West Indies obviously obviously obviously
all about that sixty seven for three the West Indies.

(01:14):
I'll keep you updated, hey. Obviously tonight is the fifth
of November. It is Guy Fawkes Night. Because of that,
I will keep lines free if people have queries, questions,
worries or updates. I have done the show at this

(01:37):
time of the night for about it would be nearly
ten years, so this would be have been my tenth November,
the fifth on air, although some of them would have
been the weekends, so it'd be five sevenths of ten, yeah,

(01:58):
which I'd say would be about seven days. So I've
done seven Guy Fawkes's on air. And here's what happens.
Sometimes it's free, free quite sometimes not happens, so I
am aware of that. In the past years, it seems
mainly there has been fires in Auckland, Munga Foe or

(02:22):
Mount Eden and also Mount Wellington have been the ones
I think recently that have gone up and smoked. So
hopefully that doesn't happen, but if there is incidents incidences,
I will keep you informed about that because people like
to know what's going on also too. If you have
problems with pets or horses or horses get loose, do
let us know. We will do what we can to
make this better for all concerned. If you've forgotten to

(02:45):
get your animals a thunderjacket or something like that. There
might be other people with good advice for you, I
think from other previous years, and you might question. You
might back me up on this. People have suggested with
great that you get white noise on your cell phone
and that might calm down the bangs. So that might

(03:05):
be something you can do, but the other suggestions don't
doubt as well. It's not all about Guy Fawkes tonight,
but Guy Fawkes is the background fortnight, because tonight is
Guy Fawkes, or as people in New zendlight to call it,
Guy Fox. So yes, if you got breaking newsletters now,
I'll be all across the Fire and Emergency in New
Zealand the website and tell you what's going on for
the incident. So if there's anything that's happening, I will
keep you posted on that tonight. So if you already

(03:26):
got any breaking news, let us no text it or
call it. Call it's probably best we can send our
juno's out there to cover those stories. Also ten past
eight head or twelve Yippiia get in touch dead right, Marcus.
Scotland haven't been the strong in decades. Hopefully the All
Blacks don't underestimate them. Thanks Bill. I don't know. I
think it's probably what name that's come up with us.

(03:48):
Phil Gifford's going on, will it be a grand slam
gosh to walk with kings and keep the common touch
humble up by the way, today's a full moon, so
it will be cardon shlider text it comes through not
is it a full and it's a beaver moon. And
a beaver moon is the moon when the beavers are

(04:08):
out and about. It's the moon when the Earth it's
closest to the moon, so it appears bigger. In fact,
it not only a pairs bigger, it is bigger. It's
the beaver moon. So that's full. So you've got a
full moon. You've got crazy weather around the country. I
don't know what the temperature right around the country were,
but I wouldn't be surprised if invercapitin and stopped the
top the nation. But yeah, so also that is happening

(04:30):
today also too, we've got the new mayor, the new
mare elect in New York City. That's a big story.
So I don't know that's going to be a talkback thing,
but we'll keep it. We'll keep that posted, We'll keep
you up to date with that. But by the way,
I'm looking at the nations. Oh yes, I think in
Vercargo's top the country. I'm looking at the met service
wedpint Invercargo twenty, duaneed In fourteen, Queensown seventeen ten, fifteen,

(04:55):
christ chitch Stirding, franschise A, Forting Westward fifteen. Blendham's equal
with us on TOPA was twenty one. There we go.
Nearly was a Queen sweep, but not quite. But certainly
it's it's the second to top. What's exciting? Times twelve
past eight. Be in touch with your talk and have
you got any comments about the situation or any updates
with Guy Fawkes. Let us know. It seems as though

(05:18):
from the chats on the last couple of days, fireworks
have suddenly got very expensive, and I guess there's a
couple of factors in that. It's a you only get
to buy them for three days so the people have
to make money, and also too, they've probably got not
a monopoly as such, but there's probably two or three operators.
I'm not saying they're colluding, but they are pricey. But yeah,

(05:38):
because people are prepared to pay for that, because they
get excited about it.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Marc.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So, I just asked Jeminy Gemini how many days were
week days for fifth of November the last ten years.
The answer was six. There we go, leverage out, leverage
out to seven point one. I mentioned. I think that's
what if you do. If you do five out of
seven times one hundred, five hundred seven and one hundred

(06:05):
and seven seven to forty nine ten over seven point one,
I think that the way it goes. Who cares people?
I've got four hours before there are other topics. I
just want to get some guy fawks scene cetis in
before we go. So if you have got some tails
of the street, what's going on, let us know be
a part of it. Marcus. It's still twenty degrees here
in farg Art h cheers Wayne.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I think I can probably up yet that one if
I look at inver Cargo, because I imagine it's probably
that hot as well, I mean on a bus tour
all day. So that's what I've done for my joy.
So it has been hot in Vera Cargo eighteen so
you beat me on that one. Anyway, we'll get out
of the temperature walls if you do want to talk

(06:44):
on here. That's what we're about tonight, oh eight hundred
and eighty today there are other topics. Obviously, I'm not
going to bang it about Guy Fawks all night. I
will save you from that. By the way, of course,
Guy Fawkes wasn't the guy. He wasn't the instigator of
the of the plot. It was Robert Cakesby was the

(07:05):
chief instigator of the Gunpower plot, which was the Roman
Catholic conspiracy King James One. He was behind it, free complicated.
A member of his staunchly Roman Catholic family, Catesby became
embittered against the government of Queenlisbeth the First as he
saw his father, Sir William persecuted for refusing to conform
to the Church of England, and he was imprisoned and

(07:27):
fine for joining the board of uprising of Robert deck Vereaux,
the second Earl of Essex. Anyway, and on it goes,
so that's what's happened. That's what Guy Falkes us all about.
There was a very good movie about the guy, Guy
Fawkes too, that wasn't none so long ago. He was
so tortured for a confession that afterwards his signature was unrecognizable.
And I'm not quite sure with that whether he should

(07:49):
be impressed with how effective torture is or terrified with
how cruel it is. Probably the latter. Anyway, fifteen past
eighty want to start the whole wall rolling. There will
be topics, but I wouldn't mind some scene setters or
fire works updates if you've got them tonight before we
cruise through. Oh this is good. I heard someone called

(08:12):
it Skyfox today or sky Fox is quite good. I
looked at that sky Fox, I thought, Josh, they must
be a new right wing TV channel. It knows sky
Fox is what they're calling Guyfawks. Security guards are on
Judy around all going to prent fireworks and piros through
the mountains on fire. Not sure who's hired them, though,
it'll be the counsel or the EE. I would imagine
probably both. Over these moons. Thought the bloodmin was supposed

(08:36):
to be the closest, and now they spring the beaver
moon on us. Exactly, absolutely exactly. It was a blood moon.
We went Gaga for the blood moon, and now you
got the beaver moon. That's the problem of the Internet.
It's all very fun to think, give us too much information.
No fireworks here tonight at Arrahenah camp and during a
quiet evening watching the fire burn while sipping on a beer,

(08:59):
love listening to your show while camp and keep it
the good work. I don't know where that is, but
that's called Arrahenah. I don't know where that is, the
Daheenda camp. I will google it up quickly because I'm
always interested in a new place I don't know about.
And I've got it on the map now and I'm
just going to bring that to you people. Oh yeah,
there we go on the Waikata River on the side

(09:20):
of Lake Owapuni. Yeah, I think I've actually heard about
that before, between Manga Quino and Cambridge fifty to fifty
halfway there, and another text door says I'll be voting
Winston next year. Banning fireworks is a bottom line policy
for him. They're kicking off in toto On and now
my dogs is scared there we go. So that's a

(09:40):
vote for Winston. But these people say they'll vote for someone,
don't they Whether they do or not, get in touch
if you want to talk. This is Kate, Marcus Marcus.
This is Kate Marcus, your Kate. Good evening.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
Welcome, Hi, hell are you Marcus?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Kate? Ten out of ten welcome, Thanks good.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
I'm from down south and you're sounding like a South
London now. When I was a little girl in the
a I'm in my late fifties now, were all rushed
to the TV, to the news, to the weather to
see if we top the country and that would be
twice maybe once a.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Year, once a lifetime. But you can hear the people cheer.
Although I don't think people sit around to watch the
weather altogether now, but it is a big deal, is it.
They've got the certain cities, well, they got weather paranoia.
And there's also there's also another thing, Kate, that a
lot of people think that they're thermometers in the wrong place. Yes,

(10:38):
well all yes, but we've got the people say, oh, yes,
if we were top the nation, but our thermometers out
by the airport and it's three degrees cooler there.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Yep, yep, it would be yep, that's exactly the execution number. Cargole. Yep, No,
it's three degrees cooler. That was always that when I
was a little girl. But the other thing I wanted
to just say is I wanted to congratulate David Beckham
and on his nighthood. And he's getting so much awful
hate on.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Is he.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
We should get on the internet. I'll tell you look
top of mine. Two things from this right, I'm going
to let you talk. I couldn't believe his wife used
that as a way to promote her men's wear collection.
I thought that was incredibly incredibly ill advised, selfish or yeah, she.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
She sewed the suit or made the suit.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
He said that, Well, she's got a new men's wear
line coming out on the back of this, which I
thought was weird.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, but they'd be married twenty five years. Good on them.
So enemy's nice guy, he is, So that's sort of
got to sail the haters out here. Good on him.
He's a tenure, he's a rich in mccaller.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, yes, and he did see he did queue with
the other people to see the queen when she died,
where everyone else started just the queue.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
Yep, he queued for was there like eleven hours or
something behind everybody out Hey, But after our friends that
lived in Britain for like twenty years, and he said,
he's just so lovely. He's like Richie. He's famous, like
Richie over there to you know the same sign.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Good on you, Kate, thanks so much for that. There
we go away. Nineteen past eight. Marcus Kroscher should He
council stopped the public guy fawks display a few years
ago and moved it to the fireworks display on Mataiki
Friday in the middle of winter. Wonder if any other
cities did this. This is a horrible time to go
to New Brighton Beach when it's freezing. I know more
people locally, but the fireworks because there isn't a public display.

(12:41):
I always thought kind of Matadiki and guy fawks that
I think Mataiki is about celebrating the darkness and the Yeah,
I don't think the two things were that compatible from
my discussions anyway, enough for me twenty past date, looking
forward to your calls, fireworks updates, talking about guy fawks,
talking about the weather. Are any towns still complaining that
they're thermometers in the wrong place was a big deal.
I think Napy was often trying to move theirs. This

(13:06):
says the word fireworks is two be nine explosions. Bombs
ordinance would better describe the horrific noise. Thought they were
quite silent these days, aren't they without the explosions and
the rockets. But be a part of it and jumping
if you want to talk on air, as just know
middle twelve tonight a lot to say. Bretts come through.

(13:27):
It got up to nineteen degrees here than padda pada
umu today. Thank you for that. Goodness long with a
twenty one past eight, twenty three past eight. This is
James Marcus. Welcome, Hello Marcus, James, are.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Are you there?

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yes, I am James Welcome.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yes, hello, I'm nearly sixty.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Great congratulations.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
When I was young, we said Tom Thumb's double Happies everything,
you know, the firecrackers, and we all enjoyed.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
Them, all of us, of course we did.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
But now I know this. The people who are give
into that age now they want them banned, like do
they really want to deprive? Like they didn't have them?
Now the double happy is net and now they all
wanted to deprive because they've gone old and sour, to
de brive them having their happiness of the guy fawks.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
James. Maybe when we were young, there were people that
wanted to ban them, but they didn't have the Internet
or the same avenues to express their displeasure with Guy Fawkes.
Have you thought of that, because I wonder about that.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
No, because there was no internet and everyone and everyone
did it, you know, like everyone did it. There was
no internet, there was nothing.

Speaker 7 (14:43):
Guy fak was no problem.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
But now the ones who were fifteen at that time,
give it fifty years now they're complaining that they don't
want it, But when they were fifteen years old they
loved it.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Is that what happens people do? They get miserable as
they get older and they get banny. Is that right?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
That's what I'm trying to say. They were fifteen years old,
but now they're sixty. Now, then now they're saying, oh,
it's too loud, it's too noisy. But when they're fifteen.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Years old, they didn't mind them in the fireworkspecting like
you know, when I was fuck they were much louder,
much bigger, and a lot more better. But now I
see think it be tame, but they're going old. They
turned to ply with the younger generation. But what they
did is what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
James, James, we were you as there much action there?

Speaker 9 (15:36):
I look in the country.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Can you see anything as a dark there where you are? No,
you're North Island or South Island. North Island thought as much.
You're get in touch, keep up, keep us updated, Steve.
This is Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
But warm here twenty four degrees very We've still got
a weave of the sun, so the sky is not
really dark. Fireworks you've just started, but not really much.
But the fire siren has gone off down at the
fire station just down the road. Practice they've had a

(16:14):
call out for something. Well, Thursday night is the practice night?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, Samon, Bluff, it's Wednesday tonight. I okay practice you
know when it is a practice night? And Bluff that's
what I was thinking. What time is the moon rise there, Steve?

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Though, Oh, I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Be too far away. It's up.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yeah, I can't see it from where I am at
the moment, but we've still got a very red sunset.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, it sounds like paradise. Yes, what's your plan for
the what's your plan for the evening? Steve?

Speaker 5 (16:52):

Speaker 3 (17:14):
A, right, brilliant eat. Did you eat the rainbow?

Speaker 10 (17:20):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (17:21):
What what do you mean vegetables?

Speaker 11 (17:23):
Well?

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Did you eat the rainbow? Did you have any different colors?
Did you have five different colors?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Oh? Yes, no, we have nine different vegetables here. There
was certainly the rainbow. Yeah, tell me them. Do you
see green in a rainbow?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (17:39):
You do?

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Do you have you have carrots?

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Carrots? The beetroots done in the air fryer, is dry
roasted in.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
The air fier carrots, Beatrix kubrara past out of the garden,
potatoes no cab and.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Wiles on the cat potato, good broccoli, rustle sprouts yems.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Wow, there would't be many cheepers there wuldn't be many
people had nine vegetables with their dinner plate. Must look
a picture.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
Ah, it's nice.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, I always do. I mean, you know they say,
you know through whether they say three meat and three beach. Well,
there's a very.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Small plate you probably had. There's probably vegetables and the
rissoles too. Was it onion in that?

Speaker 5 (18:32):
No? No, there was no onion in the rissoles?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
What wasn't there?

Speaker 5 (18:36):
But I do slice a very thin slice of a
reed onion and dice it up and put it on
the top of the steamer.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Cheapers should write a book, Steve. That's an exciting menu,
that one. Thanks for that. Keep it going, people, hold
your horses. Robb will be with you soon. The numbers,
oh wait, let me just do a cricket one I
seven for four. We haven't bettered, have we done? One
that toss shows to field. Okay, so Weston is one
O seven for four fourteen and five sixth over is god.

(19:08):
I don't like how to say fourteen point five. That
annoys me because not fourteen point five, because point five
of an over is half of an over, which is
three bulls. I bore myself with that. But it does
annoy me, but yeah, it's not a bad luck and
win even pretend to win, oh eight hundred. You know
the rest rob This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Okay a Marcus here, You going good?

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Think you're rob?

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (19:33):
No, I just bet the fires. I don't think he
should be saying he's not going to work with anybody.
Once then you're not going to work with a coalition.
Unless they banned something. That's a bit of a slippery
So I think they should just regulate it more.

Speaker 10 (19:52):
So.

Speaker 13 (19:52):
You know, it's once a year, so maybe maybe they
say you can only let them off between get what,
it gets dark at eight forty five, nine o'clock, So
go eight thirty till ten thirty. And if if you're
letting off fireworks after that, the cops, it's going to
be pretty easy to find where they came. They all

(20:14):
they have to do is look for the fireworks. You know,
all they have to do is look into this guy's
some fireworks will drive that way and then there'll be
someone there to arrest. And you know, it's it's not
a really hard thing to I don't think banning is
the right way to go about it, especially since it's

(20:37):
once a year.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
And for those that don't follow the news. He certainly
did put bending as a bottom line in the negotiations today.
But you know that's yeah, that's a negotiation bottom line.
They can always they can always weezle their way out
of that. I mean, you know, the whistle doesn't pull.
The whistle doesn't pull the train. I think maybe he's
getting himself ready to go with labor, is he.

Speaker 13 (20:57):
No, I don't think he'll go back with them again.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, if he said this as a bottom line, it
gives them an It could vete it out, doesn't it.

Speaker 13 (21:04):
Yeah, well he's yeah, I suppose he will go with anyway.
You know, he's usually the guy that decides. He did
election in twenty seventeen, right ill thing it was, Yeah,
but yeah, what what I'm trying to say is banning things.
That's you know, the government's there to make policy and stuff.
But the more things you ban, it's too controlling, you

(21:27):
know what I mean, Well, we want you know, they
just regulated.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
We want the government to have less power. We want
less government. People don't respond well to government.

Speaker 13 (21:38):
Get you know, you know, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's
sort of my point. But they could they could regulate
it a couple of hours year.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
They said it did in ban tobacco, which kills thousands.

Speaker 13 (21:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no that's true. But the you know,
smoke free twenty twenty five, I don't think that was
a very That target was a bit sort of So
the twenty twenty five sounded far up twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
That is what's happened that when we actually got you. Yeah,
I'm hearing a lot to unpick there, but there, Cherry,
I thank you, Neil, this is Marcus.

Speaker 14 (22:12):
Welcome so from nap If you check, I think it's
safeteen degrees at the moment. The full moon is just
above the willow trees at the park up the road.
Only just above and either side of the moon are
two huge on off displays of rockets that explode and

(22:33):
seeing out different colored lights and things one either side.
I don't know that many pareto expectance even bigger than that.
And just immediately down our street there's just massively the
stuff going up.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
It's happening already.

Speaker 14 (22:46):
Is it so much? Scared for the animals?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
It dark already a napier?

Speaker 14 (22:53):
Don't you just make us?

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah? Copy that?

Speaker 14 (22:55):
Well, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
The moon got any color to it.

Speaker 14 (23:02):
No, it's I wouldn't call it a redman or a bloomman.
That's however bright. Yeah, I mean, I've got no rights
in my room, and I can do my word puzzles, but.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
I the like.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Tell me about the word puzzles, Neil, Oh, just have
it in mine. You have a code cracker or.

Speaker 14 (23:24):
Shis code where you you work out which lest it
belongs to which number?

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah? Is that called code crackers? That called Sugar's.

Speaker 14 (23:34):
Code is code cracker? If you try it?

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, I love a code cracker.

Speaker 14 (23:39):
Oh, good man, that's really good.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm hogged on the cryptic crossroads at the moment. That's
got me going. I love those. But yeah, how can
you do it? It takes a lot of patient It takes.
It takes a lot of practice going back to it.
They're looking the answers the next day and trying to
work out what they do. It's worth it, though, you
get a good feel about it.

Speaker 14 (23:59):
Yeah, but Marcus, it has to be a lot preper
than me to try.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
It's just practice. It's just that you gotta keep your
mind nimble as you get older.

Speaker 14 (24:07):
Tell me about on seventy four.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Oh, you sound like about eighteen. Neil, really so old,
I am you sound like a young seventy four with
his spagi.

Speaker 14 (24:16):
Bon NAIs with coust garlic, silvere carrot, brilliant.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
You read the rainbow too, Neil, good on you, thank you.
Twenty four away from ninehead or twelve cricket sixteen and
a half. Over's gone one three, one four four, Powell
on twenty six, Chase on twenty three, seven point nine
for and over. That's the situation. Jefferson Bowling currently the
big rig. George, this is Marcus.

Speaker 12 (24:44):
Welcome, Yeah, thank you. I'm looking out in my window
over a quite a bitch suburb out of poor and
I'd say at any one time there's two lots of
fireworks in the sky, good not dozens. And I'm thinking,
I wonder if it's the price that people have decided
to just not buy them. After all, it's like smoking

(25:06):
cigarette that's all gone puffed like that.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Although it's still early, isn't it.

Speaker 12 (25:11):
It is early? Yeah, But my thought is it would
be a shame if it was banned because ninety eight
percent of people are probably saying and sensible and it's
only two percent that play up. And it's no different
than driving cars. Ninety eight percent of people are saying
insensible on the road, and it's two percent that play up,
but they don't ban cars.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, Winston must have done the research and realize his
votes in it.

Speaker 12 (25:35):
Oh, of course there is somewhere, you know, you scratch around.
It's like Donald Trump in some ways. You go into
all sorts of areas to get all sorts of votes,
and when they accumulate together, they become the big number.

Speaker 11 (25:49):
Well, look at that.

Speaker 12 (25:50):
There's something going now.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
So yeah, funny, you haven't got noose counters in a landline.

Speaker 12 (25:55):
No, that's well, it is a landline. Actual, it's just
one of the neighbors doing their thing.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
It's cool late, but you're on a landline.

Speaker 12 (26:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
For cell phones, you can't hear background noise. It's got
background canceling software in there. So imprestrated.

Speaker 12 (26:09):
Yeah, you go to I remember being in the concert
with my son playing on the stage doing a thing
with his band.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
What Bends your son?

Speaker 12 (26:17):
And he used to be in something called The Missing
Link many years ago. It was great. They created their
own music and everything. But the thing is you're standing
with a cell phone and you're ring someone up and say,
listen to this and the song disappears because the background
cancelation goes off. But yeah, it's just one of those things.

(26:37):
But I was thinking, you're talking about your puzzle, yes,
that you're enjoying, and how you got to sort of
think about it and work over it. I joined a
chess club and I hadn't played chess for a very
long time, and I'm playing with these guys who have
been playing for twenty years, and you know, I'm sitting there.

(26:59):
I just get I just get slandered, I just get swamped.
I just get motored over. These guys just finish and
that's the end of it.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Again, did you get better?

Speaker 12 (27:09):
Very very slowly? And you go, okay, I mean they
just look at the board. They've already worked there, moves
out three ahead. I can't even work out my moves
to make it work because it so long. And I
ended up playing one of the guys that was actually
the champion of the club, and he just went over
me and then he started telling you how I should

(27:29):
be playing, and I go, finally, someone's actually taken some
consideration on me, you know, And.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
It was his advice.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Good.

Speaker 12 (27:38):
It was good. But some of the other guys, the
older guys. You know, they played the game. Oh this
is just a new bild, is the pain And they
just was throw it, knocking out, tackle, everything out and
then they walk away and I go, that's a really
interesting attitude that to have to a newcomer to the game.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, I've got it. But that's all the that's all
the reactions I've had when I've played people with chances
and that they've never been that humble and defeat, humbling
victory and you should never play you'd ever played checks
with someone that's just come out of prison because they've
fit the whole time playing it and always Jery good.

Speaker 8 (28:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (28:12):
But the the other thing, Marcus, I decided to go
come Acarzie style.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh yeah, they'll come.

Speaker 14 (28:19):
I started.

Speaker 12 (28:19):
Yeah, I started putting my pieces in the middle so
they'd have to take them, but they had to choose
because if they took them, I'd take them out at
the same time. So they got really interesting and we
ended up with one of their senior guys and I
had my king on the board and he had his
king on the board, and there's nothing else on the board,
and we were right in front of each other, and
he had one move to go to take me out,

(28:42):
and everybody was around us try to figure out how
did we get the two kings in the middle of
the board by themselves with nothing else on it? So
you can have fun.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Then it will be an impossible situation at the end.
Was just two kings, isn't it well?

Speaker 12 (28:55):
And the only can only move one piece at a time,
one square at a time. But yeah, it was just
about impossible that I got there because I wanted to
chase his king, and I finally got there and up besides,
and his move was to take me out.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
How long did you last year? How long did you
last year? Those five weeks are good?

Speaker 15 (29:11):
Were you?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
How long did you How long did you last at
the Club Georgia? Did you stay there after that or
did you leave?

Speaker 12 (29:17):
I went for probably five or six times, and then
they had a championship for four weeks, so I had
no point going when the whole club's just done championship mode,
you know, knock each other out and all that. So
I haven't been back after that because I've had too
many other things to do.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
The thing about chess is never a way to handicap
it for the beginners, is there? They never do that
they're old school.

Speaker 12 (29:41):
No, they're old school. But the thing is they play
their pattern. So I've done some. You know, one guy
had spent a whole year on the internet first playing chess,
and then you get better and better at it because
you play all the time, you used to play keep
playing games and all that, and he was really good.
So I thought I'd go on the internet and have

(30:01):
a go at chess with the guys. And you go
on one of these sites and they come up with
a person because this twenty thousand people when he used
to play a game, so they just randomly picked somebody
and you play them. And one guy, I decided, I'll
try playing these silly moves, and you got the order
to bare me again. Really yep, I got banned from

(30:23):
their game. I had to go away because him I
was up suiting him. So you're right, there's an attitude
thing that's really.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
How silly with the moves.

Speaker 12 (30:33):
Oh, I just did silly stuff. You know. He would
make a move and then I put myself in a
position that I would obviously get eaten, but he'd have
to use up one of his players to do it,
and then take his player out with some other move
that was already sitting there, you know. And then I
had one game that I thought, how many moves can
I do to actually lose with the minimum number of moves?

(30:56):
And that really got and got happy as Ira. I
don't know where he's playing from, but he got real stoppy.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's good call, George. Thank you if that you give
it to your fireworks and joy. I like the background
noise to your call of every good shout out the

of Guy Fawkes or has it become bogans with less
than mediocre fireworks? That voted in Christopher Luxen? Was it

(31:48):
not to one picking that? Marcus? Don't know where you
got the idea that fireworks were a noisy? The worst
I've heard at surrenders. What was noisy where old George
was cheapers? What's that called? Those ones? Like a shooter
or something? They must put whistles in them. Do they

Speaker 16 (34:03):
I've got a cat and she's inside and I'm just
looking after her. But I can recall when I was younger,
my uncle had a bit of a pasture and every
year he would have the bonfire with the guy on top,

(34:28):
and families and family and friends would all come to
that guy Fawkes and lead off the sparklers and crackers
and what.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Have you nice to hear from me? Son? Do you
enjoyed it? Don't look after that cat? By the way too,
someone's text it through. There's a big fire in Makerewa

Speaker 17 (35:06):
Them, Marcus, I want to talk about guy fawks and
the different sort of attitudes in different areas.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Great, and you've rung the right show.

Speaker 17 (35:20):
But in Mada matter got fireworks and displays are a
big no no. And it's not because of the captain
dogs and guinea pigs and rabbits horses the race horses.
Of course, what the dramas happened with the race horses
and brutoneers and foals and studs.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Mind thinking about much matter After COVID, that was the
St Patrick's day when it were all went bad over
that that was.

Speaker 17 (35:46):
The super spread there was when the horsemen met came
from Ireland and.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Funny, funny, we can remember everything about COVID. We're all
the super spreaders were But yeah, that was the Irish
but it was famous.

Speaker 17 (36:01):
Anyway as Irish. But and then and then I run
a event and rode to a big Ristian event and
we just off so many fireworks there loose as his
horses there as well, but they are like the little
sort of Maori ponies around backyard and not phased at

(36:22):
all by fireworks.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
They thinks a Christian what event, youth event?

Speaker 17 (36:29):

And I would say, I would say it's been about ten.

Speaker 17 (36:58):
What the news fireworks really really he never gives us
I sail a part every year. It never gives there.
So shout out to Hugh Wow.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
And and there's a that's a that's within the there's
a big intersection commonality between Christianity and fireworks.

Speaker 17 (37:17):
Yes, well, celebrating the new year and like oh yeah,
fair enough and lighting it up and but but the
great thing is we have very good community engagement. We
send out four hundred flyers, yeah, and then put on
Facebook groups and we invite everyone to come to the
front of the camp on a big blake reserve and
they have a big party and then we all have
a party together and then it sort of we do

(37:40):
ours early at nine o'clock. This is quite a lot
of information at Holding Bay on New Year's Eve. But anyway,
then the whole instead of starts up because most council
displays out midnight, but from from the time hour one
starts at about nine or nineteen thirty, depending on how
light it. They just go off all night and a

(38:03):
fireworks down and what are you head?

eleven runs off that one. There's a situation there people
there we go just now doing the old shake and
Houdies halftime. Well it was a good hour. Happy with that,
so just keep me upstate with what's going on. Apparently
that fire at Mount Winning perhaps might not be existent.
I have got a someone sent a video of a

(39:41):
fire that's at Tomahawk Beach in Dunedin. Now it's sent
me a Facebook page, which I don't think I can share.
It's a private group. It's gonna look at that now.
But it looks like this quite strong winds going. It
looks like that just looking at the plume of smoke
all going straight out to see which I imagine it

(40:03):
would indicate this quite strong winds. That's Tomahawk Beat on
the peninsular. So thanks for the price that sent me
that through. I appreciate that. In fact, two people have
sent me that through, so I appreciate both of you.
Fire at Tomahawk Beach, fire service of a ride, but
it's large and spreading. I just clicked on the video. Now,
I it's a big fire. I mean when I sat
to big fire, it's got high flames free visible from

(40:26):
a lot of places in Dunedin. I imagine this is
probably a photo from Saint Kilda. Maybe I've got that wrong,
but no, it seems to be further away. Might not
be by the golf course up there, but yeah, there's
a big fire there. So if you've got some more
information about that, or any more information, do let.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Us know.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
What does this mean? Marcus? Please don't say anything about lotto,

(42:05):
roofing eye here on the Great Bearer, and there are
no fireworks to respect nature boods too much. That's from
tom four. Moon is actually tomorrow. It looks super impresident
topo tonight, some re loud fireworks in my neighborhood tonight.
Marcus Westpac CEO is four million a year, double last year.
I think that's the job to aim for Jen Marcus.

(42:27):
The beaver moon is enormous. The closer you see it,
it looks like a camel foot. Look towards Papa Cuta.
Fireworks are beautiful music notes for a night. That's Andy Marcus.
Here we go and pies part totong A. Fireworks everywhere
like a war zone. So over at already every night
this week been going on and we'll go on for months.
Good on Winston. It's band and only have public displays

(42:52):
bloody loud here in todong are like gunfire. You cannot
win a game of Chief two kings on the board.
It's an automatic drawer. I would have thought. So be
in touch. You want to be a part of you
got breaking news to buy the Way two lot, fire sirens,
sofa in wayuku Oh. I see there's a lot of

(43:13):
interest in the lot because the big draw forty million
hasn't gone. It's up to forty million. I go in
at forty that's where I start buying and to we
have the discussions about how much we're going to give away,
and I think we're gonna get away that much honey
worth buying. Get in touch to be a part of it.
Twelve past nine. A couple other things I can tell
you about two that we'll be peeped through with discussion
topics throughout the evening tonight. One, there's a situation where

(43:38):
now are going to get speed cameras in this country
where they average is speed. This is a good thing
and a bad thing because we all know we're going
to get caught by this. There's going to be cameras
at Twice all and cameras at Tuckapul and they're going
to work out the distance between and work out your average.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Four cameras will be used to termine the average speeds
of motorist on State Hay out between Twice and Lake
take Apo, which we're announced by the ta Waka Kotahi today.
There are two of the six communications announced the target
motives with technology. Wow. Average speed cameras work by calculating
vehicles average speed, long length of road between two cameras. Goodness.

(44:22):
I don't know if this is the first ones in
New Zealand or they're putting some in Kingston to State
Hiway six Kingston to five Rivers. I've had a ticket
there before. It didn't go well. So that's yeah, that
that's a fast area. State Highway eight eight tech report

(44:44):
to Twice or State Hiwai won Allenton to Wahola. That's
a very speedy place. Two State Highway to Timaru to
brown Owl and Hawks Bay, statehay Too Ti Halki to
Pucky Pucky and State Higway won Sands into Foxen, Foxton
and Goodness. The survey survey says the speed survey on

(45:08):
the twice or to take Abo sections showed nineteen percent
of motorists were exceeding the one hundred klimeters per hour limit.
I'll get on them. One of these's the most dangerous roads.
I think that's normally following the news, it's normally foreigners
and campra vans, isn't it. Triple fatality near the east

(45:28):
of twenty twenty four makes sense. It's a fair way
to police, I think, And I hope the cameras are publicized,
because yeah, it's the right thing to do. I'd slow
down for that. We'd have to, really, wouldn't. You don't
know what the fines are like, probably fairly high. Just
check on the instance reports to about fires. There's a

(45:50):
lot happening tonight. There's a full moon and it's been
great weather. Also to talk about the speed cameras also tonight,
also too amazing. How many kids are watching YouTube? They
said to watch YouTube a lot more. They watch what
we know as TV. This is got a bad thing.

(46:10):
Latest fires Coastland's Fakatani district. There's a minor fire there,
a structure fire, and Wayuku a vegetation fire, Manarawa a
vegetation fire, long A Taha a minor fire, and Mangari
vegetation fire, Henderson structure fire, antiquity minor fire, Ornio and
on a Tangi. That's what we've got for you, Ben.

(46:30):
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
You get it.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
Marcus just on these new speed cameras, so I've hit
him for some time. As you go at Omor if
you're heading down south, there's one on then on the
hell there, so it catches quite a lot of people out,
you know, because you speed up as you're going down
the hill and that. And they've also got one on
the Cormeise as you're coming into Toto and from Auckland.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
How far apart of the cameras.

Speaker 7 (47:01):
Maybe comes one's a trouble k and I think the
one and Omors might be a better k okay and yeah,
but you know put them on heills so you're going.

Speaker 19 (47:12):
To get.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Peoples, so coming down.

Speaker 7 (47:17):
Yeah, both kids up, not so bad, but it's downhill
one so yeah. And they used to have one on
State High ever one just out of Wellington there, but
that's got taken out since they put the transmission go in.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
And I give you a plenty of warning that they're there.

Speaker 7 (47:36):
No, you don't need unless you know that.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
The okay is that right there? Okay?

Speaker 7 (47:40):
Wow, well you know you just jo enormous camera in there.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
But I saw them and I saw them coming south
of Perth and there was big notices everywhere.

Speaker 7 (47:52):
You know, there's no notices unless you know they're there,
you know, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Okay, okay, Oh that's interesting to know, Ben, Thank you, Marcus.
Loads of fireworks here and cutting cutty folks having fun.
Oh good, like when I was in the hut, Marcus,
fireworks is key with culture. Pet stay Insid's the same
few days every year my kids love and bring your
smile to the little face. Makes me happy to buy
a big boom box one sixty. Marcus Patapatam, who just

(48:20):
waded my roof so I can hear fireworks landing on it.
Insane tonight. Hope they get banned fire trucks out already
have to stay up late on a work night till
they stop, but then it will be every night for weeks.
Look at fireworks issues in comparison to alcohol add issues
year round, including injuries and deaths and drag issues or
dog attacks. Can I say that being touch if you

(48:46):
want to be a part of it? Hittel twelve talking
YouTube speed cameras. Also we are talking about fireworks, fire
and tomahawk. While they called it tomahawk, maybe it's shaped
like a tomahawk, probably named after a ship that probably
was washed up there thinking about Dunedin. Actually I think

(49:10):
I should know that why it's called tomahawk. But yes,
I was trying to think where that person took that
photo from. Where you get that view from you? I
think it probably is up at the golf course, up
at near course to Phene or that. Yeah, it's right
looking down right along to that, or maybe it's at
the lend right lookout. But anyway, it's a big fire.

(49:33):
Get in touched. You on to be part of the
show here till twelve o'clock speed cameras and also YouTube.
You worry about how much a children watches YouTube? I
guess to think about YouTube. People are worried about how
much they can police it. But I guess the thing
about YouTube is dodgy stuff can crop up, which you're
not going to get on TV one. Well you will
late at night, but yeah, it's where children are watching it.

(49:54):
It's good for their concentration span because kind of it's
kind of banal. I think eighteen past nine looking forty
input good start for New Zealand twenty three without loss
or keep you up data with at twenty six without
loss now Robinson a nine Conway thirteen great start probably
thinks that no, whare we go again? Ten Offter is
over brilliant Lockdad and he's got a good mista shues

(50:16):
that Robinson, he's a new plan to me get in touch.
All the lines are free. What do you got? What
do you got to give it your best shot? Here
till twelve the speed cameras are apart. Maybe they've been
around for longer than I haven't. I've been driven to
the need and but not further north than theyre actually
diving to Queenstown A couple of times. Mustn't have been
in there, yeah, Pete or two about sky folks, Yeah, Mark.

Speaker 15 (50:38):
You certain name my point of view of it, but
I think when he must be listening to your show,
I think maybe I think he says he's on the
right track, but I don't want him to ban it totally.
He's but going like the old, the old, the old
grayhou racing. I think he's he's getting a little bit
too millined to with the Calm him down a little
bit and say when he is. Because he's into his

(51:00):
horse racing.

Speaker 19 (51:00):
We all know that.

Speaker 15 (51:01):
But they bend in Cambridge, which we all know there's
a lot of horses around there. So he's looking at
for the welfare of animals. Like I said the other
I do agree what he's doing.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
You can make it very strong case against horse race,
horse racing and the welfare of animals.

Speaker 15 (51:17):
But that's what I'm saying he's doing. He's trying to
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
What I'm saying, horse racing probably damages more horses than fireworks.

Speaker 17 (51:24):
Do ah.

Speaker 15 (51:27):
Yeah, But you can't when he's not.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Going to be in that is he No, But that's selective,
he's not. Yeah, it's it's just about getting him returned.
It's politicking.

Speaker 15 (51:40):
Oh yeah, But I still reckon what he should do,
as we spoke the other night, Just do it, guy Fox,
and I don't bend it. Let it people they can
buy their fireworks four times, four times in the year,
like the other four four days in the year.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
Let them do that.

Speaker 15 (51:54):
Let them buy all their fire crackers, and they got
whatever the government decides to do with this. What he
brings it in and says, look, you can buy your crackers,
go go for gold and all the fire rigade.

Speaker 20 (52:04):
Everybody knows.

Speaker 15 (52:05):
He got a week or team days, whatever time period
they bring in, and that's it. I think it's a
good idea.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Yeah, except Peter, it's just impossible to police. If you
think if you think, hang hang on, Peter. If you
think you're going to enforce people not to sit rockers off,
rockets off the rest of or fireworks off the rest,
that's over there. You can't. There's no way in the
world you can place that.

Speaker 15 (52:27):
Well, they're doing in Australia and they do no fireworks
in Australia.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Well their bends, you can't. But I think you can
do them in some days, aren't. Yeah, there there are some.
There are some fireworks you can have in Australia.

Speaker 15 (52:40):
I'm open for displays like public displays. We ever hear
the balls. We think we're having won here this week
at the stock cars and Strafford. I think the mining
name already had it last week and're not do sure there.
I'm for those ones you don't don't want to be
totally total party peepers and bang. I think that's wrong,
but just give them a specified period and that's it's

(53:01):
all over over on your pete.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Thank you for that. Welcome people here to twelve. My
name is Marcus got Evening eight hundred eighty ten eighty
nine to nine two de text. You want to be
a part of it, but I'll better work at the
cricket thirty for one. I'll bring out the details when
I've got it. Two people Promiser July one for Northern

(53:26):
Territory Day one can freely use fireworks. Got a permit
in the Northern Territory and small novelties such as party
poppers and sparklers are legal across Australia. Yep. It's interesting
around the world. The places have banned them free complicated
the United States of America, but some countries are more
mature about it. Twenty five past nine. Welcome people. If

(53:50):
you want to talk on here Marcus till twelve thirty
two for one one hundred and thirty three from one hundred.
That's what they need, Marcus. Loads of video up on
Facebook of people putting fireworks and bins, shoot them out
of cars and hanging them off owes. Some real crazy
people around New Zealand today. The brother Johnny on you

(54:12):
the Brother Johnny? Where do you go on Facebook for these?
I hadn't thought of drones though. What are they doing
with drones? They launching them from drones. It's a bit different.
You've got any eyewitness accounts from the fire at Tomahawk,
let us know. I guess the fieries are onto that
one by now you'd expect. That's what we're on about tonight.

(54:34):
If you want to be partake and YouTube for children
watching a lot of it. I don't say know that
this is good nor bad, but they're glued to it.
It's a media of choice for children four to fourteen,
three quarters of watching YouTube every day. And I guess

(54:56):
they're getting money oversea stuff. There's probably not much local stuff. Yep.
TV's lost its grip with the kids. Not even Blue
He's got them back poor patrol. Well what do you
say about that cop again? Do they call it? I
don't know what you take on poor patrollers? It's kind
of annoying. Meant, this is Marcus welcome, you know Friday.

Speaker 19 (55:20):
I was going to talk about chessper cleet that. Yes,
quite cool seeing what the fireworks from the full moon tonight.
You're getting north to Paring and that kind of has
an orange auburn glows in the sky to me. So yeah,
this very calm night too.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
You d have you driven?

Speaker 9 (55:39):
You mad?

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Have you gone all the way from Wellington?

Speaker 6 (55:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Yeah, copy getting.

Speaker 19 (55:45):
Dark affter transmission gully at the roadworks are doing so
every town. I've seen fireworks going off all the way
in the last hour.

Speaker 11 (55:54):
Yep, there's quite a lot of them.

Speaker 19 (55:58):
Yes, when we were in college in the nineties we
were buy those Roman candles and before they got banded
with God of War those.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
I think we all did. It's all about finding boundaries
and taking risks. That's what growing up's about, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (56:17):
Yeah, that that just tasted out the double Heppies and
they still had the spy rockets as well, but I
think they're all gone now. Therese ones that were dangerous.
But I remember one game down my jersey. It wasn't
it was part of it.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
I guess you would have been in a school chess club,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 19 (56:38):
No, But getting onto chess, there was a program from
the computer. We played corbettal Chess, and I got quite
good at it playing the computer, And I'm wondering, was
that really AI or was it just stored algorithms.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Yeah, I don't think it was. I don't I don't think.
I don't think it was AI. I think it was
just they just put all the scenarios.

Speaker 8 (57:02):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Yeah, I don't know how it was. But it took
them a long long time to beat the human, didn't it,
And then they then there was no stopping them.

Speaker 19 (57:11):
Well, it taught me a long time to beat the computer,
but then I started to be able to do it,
and then I know good enough to beat a lot
of people within. I quite like the game, but then
have played it the years and years, and I'll probably lose,
But I'm just saying nothing worse. In the game, you
know you're going to lose after you've just started, and

(57:33):
you don't want to sulk and give up, but you
know in the name.

Speaker 17 (57:37):
Of good Sports.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
All right, love, love to talk to you, Matt, thanks
so much that Jane, It's Marcus welcome. Hello, Hi Jane.

Speaker 10 (57:47):
I was talking about children in YouTube.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (57:52):
God, my son's eight and he googles things or YouTube things,
and he's discovered soussi and sweet.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
For goodness sake?

Speaker 9 (58:07):
I know.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
But who was was that? Edid Blyton?

Speaker 10 (58:12):
I no it was They were kind of like puppets O. Yes, yeah,
And he absolutely cries for laughter when he watches them.
And I also catch him secretly watching the Whiggels and

(58:37):
he also does pepper Pig. But he doesn't lets onto
anything that's not of his age.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
How would you know?

Speaker 10 (58:55):
Because he's got his lounge. I've got my lounge and
I can see his Telly.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
The kid's got his own lounge.

Speaker 10 (59:04):
Yeah, we need our wow, Yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Kids have taken over, so that the kids have taken over.

Speaker 10 (59:18):
No, it's just him and I but no, we need
our space. But yeah, no, I can see what he's watching,
and yeah, I can hear with Sooty and Sweep, he
just absolutely rolls around the floors laughter.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
You I don't know if that would be any good
or not. Study in Sweep, Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 10 (59:47):
It's well, you remember growing out with and Sweep.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
I don't know would have watched in Sweep?

Speaker 10 (59:54):
Oh didn't you? Okay?

Speaker 16 (59:59):
I never?

Speaker 3 (59:59):
I never. I wasn't someone that like puppets.

Speaker 12 (01:00:04):
It was kind of.

Speaker 10 (01:00:05):
Along the line, I shouldn't she introduce into that bezel brush.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Oh no, bezel brush was good. I do like puppet.
I love bazil brush.

Speaker 10 (01:00:13):
Yeah, it was their era, so yeah, hopefully he might
find basil brush one day, but then he might start
hitting people as his tail.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Good on you, Jane, thank you for that. We'll leave
that there. Twenty four to ten, head on Midnight, my Namers. Marcus,
welcome o eight hundred and eighty eighteen eighty. Not a
hype about Powerball that's rolled over. Of course it has
they'll know what's going on. Twenty four away from ten,
Welcome people, Hurdle, twelve texts. I'm updating on Fire's Big
fire and Tomahawk and danedin. Oh, Marcus, I saw that

(01:00:51):
on firebook on Facebook. Also someone hanging a firework from
a drone and then quickly sending it up after lighting.
It look very dangerous, but it was spectacular, Marcus. The
fireworks are awful and only hung at his and banging
like crazy and as loud as they've been going off
on and off for weeks. It's not just a couple

(01:01:13):
of hours one night a year these days so dangerously etcetera,
and built up to the suburbs. Two cats staying close
and hiding under the bear. Don't support Winston's polympics about
supporters drive to bend the private use of the idiotic,
pointless pirotechnics arriving from failed political coup four hundred years ago.
Trying not to be curmudgeonly here not succeeding. Cheers chez

(01:01:35):
were nicely worded. Another work at the Cricket to forty
eight for two. It's Robinson out on twenty seven. He's established.
So I just took bold bold, bold courtmand off. He
knew it easy catch to make. This is interesting. Marcus

(01:02:00):
is only one speed cameraonomater in the signs both ways.
That's what I thought, Marcus. After the poor job Winston
has done with a coalition of cuts this chapter shurely
news in and has had enough of his rubbish Lett
rents in the country again and again and again. A
lot of people say, go to public displays. The public
displays are never very good. Think they always start to early.

(01:02:22):
YouTube is banned in my house. The kids go down
a rabbit hole. It's cocaine for kids. Half the time
they end up watching kidden for which is opening presents
they were given free to view. A worse watching other
families having fun doing activities together. Go figure. I think
it's just too easy for the kids. It is just mindless.
I have to agree. They go into a catatonic state

(01:02:44):
in the YouTube. They don't say can we watch TV?
They say can we watch YouTube? I mean they've really
watched it, but every time I've looked at it doesn't
I mean, it's all right, but it's yeah, it's not
like watching the railway children as we did no disrespect
to being for Formamadu. There's no average speed camera that

(01:03:05):
I'm aware of, just a straight speed camera which has
agreeably caught me a few too many times. Marcus. With
regards to averaging speed cameras, the Scent and the Foxton
ones are thirty four point four k's apart. Wow, so
great text, keep your calls coming through twenty one away
from ten o'clock hit or midnight YouTube. The evils of YouTube?

(01:03:28):
I mean, what's interesting. There's no plots to any of it.
Twenty away from ten interesting email. Well, Marcus, I'm in
the other camp. I'd rather have fireworks once a year
than having dogs constantly barking in my neighborhood yards, in
my neighbor's yards, day and night. And then there's all
the piles of excrement along the riverbank on my daily walk.

(01:03:48):
Do these dog owners think of anyone else except themselves?
They must be the most selfish people on the planet.
Name withheld noctu. It's Logan. Thank you Logan for that.
So yeah, boy oh boy. Winston's light the fuse, he says,
is Benning fireworks a bottom line, tendy teddy fireworks. New

(01:04:09):
Year is amazing. The Early Lady is fund anonymously anonymously
for as long as I can remember. Off the back
of a barge, Marcus Nigel the truck driver here, how
you get around the average speed cameras. Once you pass it,
you think you're going a bit fast, pull over for
half an hour. That'll muck it up. Yeah, imagine that's
when you have your break, is between the speed cameras.

(01:04:34):
And someone says they agree with Logan. What do you
want to say people seventeen away from ten, we're talking
YouTube for kids. Also that fire at Tomahawk, And I'll
keep your day with fires as they progress through the night.
If anyone's got any eyewitness accounts of the fireworks that
are happening, by the way, you can go to Foreign
Emergency and then instant reports. It's all on there if

(01:04:55):
you want to go look at it live. I always
thought that was something top secret for the journalists, but no,
it's all there. It's public, public, public, publicly accessible as
it should be. Would you take and fire and Monday
they were vegetation by Henderson Spiritual Home of fireworks, my
mine of fire Matata. So there we go. That's the

(01:05:15):
latest for you. Simon. It's Marcus. Welcome, good evening, Good Simon.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Good good.

Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:05:24):
I've got a fireworks story for you from a few
years back. Someone I was seeing at the time, she
was I was supposed to meet her in town for
a drink and it made of mine spar and I
get this photo out of the blue from she said out,
I'm not going to make it into town. The roof

(01:05:45):
of my car is on fire.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
Wow.

Speaker 18 (01:05:47):
What had happened was this was a christ church, so
we get these those howling Northwesterns, and her neighbor at
the time decided to let a firework in the in
these gale force winds. One of them knocked over and
it pointed directly at a set of power lines. Short
second of the power lines and then the lines dropped

(01:06:08):
straight onto the roof of the car and set it
on fire.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
Yes, yeah, would the exit and the outside of the
car was on fire.

Speaker 18 (01:06:18):
Yeah, the outside of the car was on fire. I
think it must have reacted with the metal or something,
or maybe a reactive with the paint.

Speaker 7 (01:06:25):
But yeah, it was. It was a good fire.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
It was enough to write off the whole car lively
sort of a girlfriend with your car on fire? Tell me, yeah,
did they write it off?

Speaker 18 (01:06:38):
Yeah? They wrote it off. Yeah, the damage was enough
for them. I'm in the value of the car. I
don't think it was terribly high anyway, but I think
that the damage caused to it was, you know, far
extend exceed from what the total value of the car.
Did car was?

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
I think there was always the greatest downfall of fireworks,
that is when the container they were ready to launch
tipped over. It never went well, did it and then
what was supposed to be vertical when horizontal never got No.

Speaker 18 (01:07:08):
You see some of those images as well of I
think this place is neither the US border or in
Mexico proper. That there's been r fire and it's just
set off every single firework in the place, and it's
causes a hell of a lot of damage.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Yeah, I know, the fires and firework factories are never good, Simon,
thank you. I sometimes watch some of those videos on
Facebook of people making fireworks and those factories. I'll tell
you what. It's pretty rudimentary, a lot of it. It's
pretty unbelievable. They're the Indian ones. The Indian ones can
be a lot bigger. They've got New Zealand's got very

(01:07:46):
very low specifications. You can put put hard in any
gunpowdern in them. They really have been kind of denuded,
if that's the right word. Here'sel twelve. Welcome people, Madams,
Marcus good evening. Take those texts coming through and you
want to talk on air. Good, Oh, Marcus good evening.

(01:08:10):
I live pretty much in the middle of Rewok. I
haven't heard a single pop, screech, whiz bang all evening. Wow,
maybe they're doing it tough there with all the redundancies, Marcus,
there are sixty five fixed speed cameras on thirty four
poles and seventeen new averaging speed cameras. Someone should park
a coffee truck halfway between the two cameras to make

(01:08:32):
the travel time longer and travel stress relief. Where are
these public displays when he talks about perhaps organized those
first before telling people to go sandy, Well, that's right anyway,
get out welcome, Hey, Marcus? What re annoys me with

(01:08:54):
these speed cameras that affects innocent people like myself being
a line hall driver. What is the NZTA doing about
drink drivers and drug drivers as well? It's never going
to stop the criminals who probably don't even have a
camera driver's license. Who are the ones who crash? Speed
is only the tip of the iceberg Lewis. I think
speed's bad. I think we all know speed is bad.
He went out there, knows that speed is the killer.

(01:09:16):
If you crash, you lot more damage is done and
you haven't got as long to react if you're driving fast.
So yeah, I think we all know speed is bad.
I've got no problem with them policing that whatsoever. Let's
call it like it is. Twelve to twelve, twelve to ten,
by the way, too, if you're having trouble on the motorway,
the Orkplan Motorway. There's a major cluck up at Lincoln Road.

(01:09:37):
What has happened?

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Get this?

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
What has happened is that there has been a truck
full of chicken remains has tipped. You talk about a
major cluckup. That's the situation. No injuries were reported. They
on rent would remain closed for some time while the
truck was removed. A witness told the Herald the tanker

(01:10:02):
truck was carrying chicken offl I ordered seeing animal remains
on the road. Where would that be going? They'd feed
at the salmon farms? Would they? Did you know? In
Sydney Darling Harbor there free file displays from October till
February most weekend's amazing. Yep? Anyway, Yes, that's a situation

(01:10:25):
too on Lincoln Road. A truck full of chicken offl
has tipped. Yep, yep, anyway, what do I say? Anyway?
But that's a nice topic change from fireworks if you
want to be involved with the news before, by the
way used it in sixty nine four two. We need

(01:10:51):
ninety six from sixty three. Chapman's on strike on seven
off ten. Ravender is off strike eighteen from fourteen. So
these guys are established. It's where they can bet on.
That's a wide every day of the week. Ah, ninety
five from sixty three. The other thing to the you

(01:11:15):
want have you'll be across this to the New York's
got a new mayor. And that's a big story because
our court, by the way, Chapman Court for seven shocking hit. Yeah,
Zoran Mamdani has been elected to the mayor of New York.

(01:11:38):
So that's just well, that's a year. It's happened one
comfortably yep, and it was expected to happen. The New
York cover has already been drawn. Yep. Got fifty point
four percent of the vote to Andrew Cumbo runners the
Independent got forty one point six so very very very

(01:12:02):
very clear victory. He won Brooklyn, he won Queensy one,
Manhattani one Bronx. I think Kumo won Staten Island. The
situation there and I think Trump's but none am of
mischief making. But we'll see how that plays out from there.

Speaker 9 (01:12:18):
We go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
That's what's happened they keep your texts and calls coming through.
Now Marcus, speed is bad, but what's worse is stopping suddenly. Marcus,
the fireworks have started near me and to need no problem.
Neighbors are good problem as my cat wants to go
and have a lock. Not agitated, just curious, No, just
plain dosy Hi that guy and Rewalker hasn't anything. Be
rude not to let him here one. I'll just let

(01:12:40):
one off for him. My three year old son watches
YouTube for a short time daily. He started out watching
Miss Rachel, who teaches young children language and how to speaker.
They moved on to the Wiggles and Blippy. He learns
on a volcabulary phrase and inter discovers new interests. He
loves playes at the moment to watch a lot of

(01:13:00):
educational aviation videos. He learned about soccer practice and ballpits too,
and we have nurture and every evening I take my
son to the park to do a soccer practice. So
it can be positive if you use it for educational purposes, Marcus.
New Year's Eve fireworks like Tudderweather are sure of fire
away to see the New year with appreciate gasp and
all all the boats converged around the barge and the

(01:13:23):
best viewers up at the Black Barn. Did you see
everyone on the news today heading across the ditch heaps
just today awful spilled probably from Teagle Processing heading for
Wallace Protings. What do they do with it? But you're
probably right. There is a big fire and flatbush in
a vegetation quite close to someone's house. I'm seeing photos

(01:13:49):
of that. He troubles the sections oun't as big as
they once were. But yeah, that's the latest we've got
for you on the fires. This guy Fawkes night with
the full moon. That was of a couple of minutes ago.
That fire and flatbush. That fire and flatbush is now out.
Looks like it might have been a homes job. People

(01:14:09):
might have just done it with the hose in the backyard.
Good on them. Cricket seventy for three ninety five from sixty.
This would be a good chase. This could be exciting.
About time we had an exciting finish. I'd go and
watch it if I were you. We'll do what you want.
But double script's free TV one. About time. It looks
to me like it's got hard for the black Caps.

(01:14:31):
They need eighty one off fifteen ninhs just gone off.
I think it's eighty one off fifty nine balls, so yeah,
they're up against it. So forty nine sorry, eighty one
off forty nine balls. Yeah, I thought it was hard,
so they'll struggle with that. I'll keep you posted on
that and welcome people. Marcus sat to my name, hehittled twelve.

(01:14:52):
Get in touch wow, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
We're talking YouTube and kids addiction to YouTube. I don't
necessarily know that it's worse than TV YEA, but I
guess it's just not monusor curated. We're also talk about

(01:15:12):
the speed cameras that are coming out around the country
that I'm unclear whether they've started now or not. But
you've got two cameras with some distance between, they work
out the average and then you get pinged. Sounds quite serious.
We talk about that too tonight, and also fireworks seems
to be an enjoyable night tonight for plenty and not

(01:15:32):
enjoyable for some also. But yeah, that discussion never changes,
I think, although the sides get more tolerant maybe, And
a truck full of chicken offl has tipped over on
the road Lincoln. Lincoln rode off for it. Yep, that's

(01:15:52):
something you might want to mention. Also tonight, by the way,
the stats are in from the Melbourne Cup and looked
at the CIB with a winner, so it was a
big day for them. So turnover on the Melbourne Cup
which thirteen point six million, one hundred and fifty thousand

(01:16:17):
kiwis placed a bet on the race, an increase of
twenty thousand from last year. It's a situation there. Another
catch in the cricket eighty seven for five seals was
the catcher Mitchell thirteen off nine balls. Looks pretty angry

(01:16:39):
with himself. Kind of a replace. So it's gone off.
It's gone to commercials. I can't tell you what happened.
So that's the situation. Nowbe at thab did something with
the first four. I don't quite know how that works.
So yep, di di di di. I can't read that

(01:17:05):
nance of all the betting. But yeah, be in touch.
You want to be part of the show people, Someone says,
I would say in this country Marcus Daily Weekly, any
there is more damage done by dogs, even killing people,
than fireworks. What are we doing about the banning of dogs?
How about human life? Is it dogs before humans? So yeah,

(01:17:27):
that's what I mean. It's an extreme view, but there's
people's views are saying, well, what about the dogs and
the noise they cause? Endosy with dogs that bark and
then extraordinary number of dogs that are put down an
Aukland every year. I couldn't believe it when I saw
those figures. Now, other stuff you might want to mention,
will feel free to come and anything goes tonight too,

(01:17:48):
by the way, just waiting for the cricket to finish.
Not long left with that now that'll be about half
an hour, but to eleven past ten. If you want
to talk tonight, and I'm looking forward to you. I'll
keep you updated with the news from around the world.
The big news, of course, is that New York's got
a new mayor, very young. It's a big story.

Speaker 11 (01:18:09):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
Another catch eighty eight for six. I don't think we'll
bet our overs seals was the bowler It's Bracewell, caught
behind by the wicket keeper for the easy shot. So yeah,
that's not for exciting at all.

Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
And the mirror of New York is thirty four, he said.
He said on his opening speech. I have four words
for you to don Trump. He says, turn up the volume.
So that's it. I don't think Trump's going to handle
that well. Good evening, carry, This is Marcus, welcome, good carry.

(01:18:56):
What's happening?

Speaker 20 (01:18:58):
Go man week?

Speaker 21 (01:18:59):
And you're just doing the old night shift from betony
to new plimmers. I just want to raise a question
the mirror points. What's your point of view on the
merit points? Does it cause unemployment?

Speaker 11 (01:19:15):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
What I reckon the merit points causes people try to
outrun the police when they're on eighty because you go
into a sense of panic.

Speaker 21 (01:19:26):
Oh what about for the legit working people? So if
you're out legit working at night and you're driving all
night and you clock up the hundreds to mirrat points,
so you lose your license for three months? Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
It'll be six months or a year?

Speaker 21 (01:19:46):
Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, so that sort of reflects on
unemployment straight away?

Speaker 9 (01:19:50):
Done that?

Speaker 3 (01:19:52):
Are you on the CASP?

Speaker 8 (01:19:55):
No, I'm not on the casts.

Speaker 21 (01:19:56):
I've got a few some pizzas going through there, but
not on the CASPs. Get out there, sit there and
the other one of these cameras, Mate, do they take
it at drink drivers or drink drivers.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
No, I don't think they do.

Speaker 16 (01:20:18):
No.

Speaker 21 (01:20:19):
No, so really the cameras only only there for their
government's revenue.

Speaker 18 (01:20:24):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
I think probably speeding drivers are probably the most dangerous.

Speaker 21 (01:20:31):
Yeah, yeah, you may be right. Yeah, but like I say,
the legit workers that might be going five or six,
there's no team discount. Years ago there used to be
a team discount. Now I stopped, and I stopped and
actually spoke to him, the guy, for about fifteen or

(01:20:53):
twenty minutes up in Waverley the other night, and they
had a good discussion with him. And you're a zero
tolerance And these cameras are fitted all round the vehicle
and that's all sides, top to bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
Do you think truck drivers should be able to break
the speed limit?

Speaker 21 (01:21:13):
Gerry are definitely not. And like myself, like myself, I
shouldn't be I shouldn't be able to break the speed limit.
But what I'm talking about here is what I'm trying
to put to you. To mirror points, I think they
should be polished.

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
I disagree, but you should drive properly. Hello Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Most trucks are speed limited anyway, they are governed you
can't go over ninety or ninety four. Hey, no fireworks
on the peer and you brighten pier tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
There are they policing it?

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
I don't know. I don't have an answer to that,
but as the midst of my knowledge, and I was
at the hot pool today and I was sort of
one the people walk along the pier, and I thought
of myself, well, obviously there's not going to be a
fireworks display tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
I used to belong to the while I was at
Shirley Boys the first thirteen Rugby League, but I was
also part of the chess club.

Speaker 10 (01:22:12):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I knew you're going to say that, Dave, did you?
And that's the thing about you. You got the brawl
and you got the brains. It's the total package.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
I made.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
I'm going to leave you something about the chicken meal
at a Chinese restaurant. Anyway, the chef came around, he said, oh,
did you did you like the chicken? I said, mate,
the chicken was rubbery.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
He said, oh, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Hey, tell me something. Have you ever been to one
of those warning sessions at the hot pools when the
sun comes up?

Speaker 8 (01:22:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Absolutely, I know earlier. No, no, that doesn't that doesn't
include with the membership market. That's a secret deal and
the same as the later on. Why with my membership
it's between ten to twelve, twelve thirty to two thirty
three to five and that's it. Anything before or after cost.
The extras have not included my membership.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
And it's regulars there every time you go. You know
them all. It's like the pub, but it's done water right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Yeah, well, I'm not sure what you just asked me,
but yeah, I get to know. There's a regular, same
regular face.

Speaker 11 (01:23:14):
Pretty much.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
It's a It's a great thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Is it Absolutely fantastic and we certainly are spoiled, but
not spoilt. I think it's a win for us in
the East. It's fantastic venue and yeah we deserve it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
Of course you deserve it. Your God's people there, Dave.
Nice to hear from you. Here's to the East. I
don't know why there's no fireworks on the pier. Never
quite worked out the point of the peer, to be honest,
but good on them. Text and call if you want to.
Ninety six for six wesdays are one hundred and four

(01:23:49):
at the same stage, So we haven't got the wickets
in hand. That's my gripe, gripe. But yeah, do come
through if you want to talk about fireworks or about
YouTube or about speed cameras. I don't quite know what
that guy was on about with them, and good on
them for calling, But yeah, I think anyone thinks we

(01:24:13):
should be driving fast on the road, just that someone
this haven't got as much discipline. I don't know what
my demerits. I think they're down to zero now. I
think I suspect they are fre cautious now now, now, now, now,

(01:24:34):
and now if there is other top Oh there's a
bad plane crash, wasn't it? Cargo played on takeoff seven
dead was a fireball and they went through. No word
on that. What's the situation where the Indian crash? People
heard more about that? Have we lately gone or quite
on that? Yep? But if there's other talkback topics you've

(01:24:56):
got people, see what's you've got something else to go
on about tonight, it'd be nice to hear from you.
Cricket ninety eight for six New Zealand chasing aid sixty
more from thirty five balls. But the trouble is we're
going to run out of BET's nicheum on ten center

(01:25:17):
on one. Let's take a break. Eighteen past nine. Hello Dave, Welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:25:24):
Evening, Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:25:25):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:25:26):
Thank you?

Speaker 9 (01:25:26):
Dave.

Speaker 22 (01:25:28):
Can I talk a little bit about speed cameras. There's
a upset of larger technology.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
Think it'd be a great thing to talk about. I
think the time is right, so the can.

Speaker 22 (01:25:38):
I give you a couple of examples of technology that
exists at the.

Speaker 20 (01:25:41):
Moment, be great.

Speaker 22 (01:25:43):
If you're driving a truck north found out of Tokoroa
doing ninety kilometers an hour, we can already tell if
one of your axurs is overloaded. Okay, so we can
ask the police officer up the road to holk that
particular vehicle in weighatt and share enough far. My mate
also used to install cameras on the transit lanes in Auckland.

(01:26:06):
They were using thermal imaging technology and they could tell
if there was a life sized Teddy Bear in the
passenger seat, or whether it was re or human to
have two people in the transit lane.

Speaker 11 (01:26:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:26:18):
The police officer before they even pull you up, can
tell if the registered owner is disqualified or you've got
a warrant or a wreg.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (01:26:29):
Now the wider.

Speaker 22 (01:26:30):
Application of the technology. You're familiar with the National number
plate recognition system. Yes, if you have a burglary in
your house, if the police had the time to do it,
they could look at all the cars that went in
and out of your suburb in that day to create
the list of potential people and start talking to them

(01:26:51):
as to who did the burglary on your house.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
Well, and they could do other burg reason find commonalities.

Speaker 22 (01:26:57):
Oh yeah, well yeah, so they could see the truck
on Transmission Gully and Wellington. They could see the same
truck on the desert road, work out the truck driver
hadn't had his regularly.

Speaker 20 (01:27:08):
Half our break.

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:27:11):
Now, where I think it's all heading is it's much
cheaper to put a camera on the road than it
is to employ another police officer. So in the fullness
of time, we'll have cameras absolutely everywhere. And if you
drive from in Bicrgol to Gore and you hold a
phone in your hand, or you don't have your seatbelt on,
or you haven't got a warrant of fitness, the police

(01:27:33):
officer puts their donut down hands out on the road
and when you come along this excuse me a stalls.
You're currently a disqualified driver.

Speaker 7 (01:27:40):
And I can have a chat with you.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Is this a good thing?

Speaker 22 (01:27:45):
I think it has to be because it's a use
of technology that makes it harder to be a burglar,
harder to be disqualified. On the highway cops on Tuesday night,
the police officer was in a little weak town between
Toonga and Fakatane and his methodology was as the car
sped over the speed hump were probably described drunk, so

(01:28:08):
he waited for anyone who goes through the town to
speed over the twenty five case speed hump. So he
turned around and looked the guy and then he was drunk.
So the speed camerick can potentially alert us on departing
from the lane or wobbling around a corner, so that
the police have got a better ability to focus who
they want to talk to. So, as a society, if

(01:28:30):
you walk around as a saint on wheels, you've got
nothing to worry about. But if you have potentially unlawful
or dangerous behavior, you're much more likely.

Speaker 7 (01:28:40):
To get caught.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
What's the situation your first situation, whether they know they've
got the back axl overloaded? How can they tell that it's.

Speaker 22 (01:28:48):
Called way in motion. So there's a metal strip across
the road, and the scales work so fast that when
the axle goes over it, it measures each axle. Then
the computer processing technology is fast enough now that it
alerts an overload infringement on axle three bang and alert someone.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
Do they enforce that?

Speaker 22 (01:29:09):
No, they don't, but they've had the technology there. That
particular one's been there about fifteen years. I was talking
with NZTA about it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
What's your gig, Dave? Why do you know so much?

Speaker 22 (01:29:20):
I'm a part time not at all?

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
Okay, what do the rest of your time?

Speaker 7 (01:29:24):
You know?

Speaker 22 (01:29:25):
I'm not sure if you remember. I used to be
a lawyer tall last year and now I'm a part
time fuck driver.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 22 (01:29:32):
Just a bit of research into these things, and I
just watch how society is developing, and I find it
quite curious.

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
I like, how you get your intel from police ten
to seven? Well highway cops?

Speaker 21 (01:29:44):
Yes, well, I thought I thought the guy was there's.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Some good information on that and the cops would love it.
I think that, Yeah, fair enough.

Speaker 22 (01:29:52):
He goes fishing at night, but people going over to
speed hun't too fast and he's on money.

Speaker 8 (01:29:58):
Yeah, not bit clever.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
What percentage are sourced.

Speaker 8 (01:30:04):
You about it?

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
What percentage are drunk that go over too fast?

Speaker 22 (01:30:08):
I would look my personal guests. Eighty eighty five percent
who go rocketing over a twenty five k speed humbat
fist Okay, especially at nighttime. The word belligerence comes to mind.

Speaker 3 (01:30:23):
It's not because there, It's not because they don't say.
It's because they want a bit of action.

Speaker 22 (01:30:26):
I think one or the other, not paying attention or
ambivalent to the risk.

Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
It's one of the great expressions on talkback I've ever
heard is part time, no at all, because you've never
heard of rent. Because most know it alls and know
it all is full time, aren't they. It's not something
they just do for fun. It's part one of their
core values is to try to make up the sun
than they are.

Speaker 22 (01:30:52):
No, I'm not very smart part time.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
No, it all good on your dave, Thanks for that,
Lucky you're delivery too. Twenty seven past ten, let's call
that ten twenty seven. What's the year twenty twenty five?
What do we learn from last Tuesday? You never say
that twenty twenty five. I thought that was funny. Not
looking good for New Zealand in the cricket one hundred
and four for six. We need sixty one off thirty

(01:31:15):
sixty one off twenty three catches when matches, and boy
has there been a lot of them. So there we go.
Keep you updated with that. With that, but yeah with
pavery poorly, but it's going to be a hit fest
to come through with losing no wickets. But yeah, I
don't think that's the way it's going to happen.

Speaker 7 (01:31:34):
Do you.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
I hope it was worth it having United Eden Park
for their neighbors for this jeepest screepers only got so
many events you can have a year, you want to
have this as one of them. Boy, oh boy, thanks
to interesting it was talking Jafferson just an easy shot
caught for two easy. Yeah, it's all catches, it seems.
I mean, he's a big unit, but I don't. Yeah,

(01:31:55):
but that was poor pretty much hit it down the
throat of the batsman. So I'll just tell you what
the situation is now, one hundred and seven for nine,
we need fifty eight from twenty balls. Was just one
wicket left, so it hasn't been a great outing. And
look at and I hate to say it but I

(01:32:15):
think fireworks. It's all gone quiet. There are a couple
of vegetation fires, but all quite easily under control. It
seems I'm not seeing any reports on the news of
anything bad, so quite a quiet night. The real story
is the tank are of chicken off or that tipped.
That's not good at all. That one. No other news

(01:32:36):
stories anywhere about damage or anything, So let's just put
that out there. Twenty our leaveway from eleven people if
you want to come through. Jacob Duffy's the last bats person,
so clearly he's not very good. Just seeing the other
reports of fires anywhere, not seeing it at all, So

(01:32:58):
that's a good thing. It looks like it looks like
most people kind of cope with that. Tell you what
we should be worried about. That hornet, it's not good
at all. The another wicket that might be a replayer,
try and keep you going with that. No, Duffy's on
one one o eight for nine fifty seven from nineteen balls,

(01:33:19):
so about three per ball. The wickets have fallen pretty
well evenly apart from one of eighty three, one, eighty
seven and eighty eight. So we started all right, but
the middle order was no good at all are set
in the facing now six from nine. He's a good
hitter and oh ye it's a hit. You'll get two
off that we won't win this. Why there's so few

(01:33:41):
people there must be dispiriting for the players. Be a
part of the show if you want to twenty seven
to eleven, anything goes twenty five away from eleven. Let's
give the talk back a bit more of a kick
along tonight. If you've got something of interest. What have
you got people, It seems like guy Fowks has gone
quite now. We had the dramas some fires earlier on

(01:34:01):
they said, you quieting down? We are talking YouTube. Al's
a little bit about oh quite on a horse racing.
It was very much last night's topic. What else you
gonna want to talk about tonight? People, anything troubling anyone?
You haven't got any concerns? They want to check into
the box. Anything else you want to stay or talk about.

(01:34:23):
Would like to hear from you. Eight hundred and eighty
Here they go, welcome to you. Looks like the fireworks
have all gone quiet now. But be a part of it.
You want to be a part of the show, and yeah,
get in touch if you want to be a part

(01:34:43):
of it. Fireworks that's one of the topics. And looking
to see if there's any updates of the fires around
the country. Can't see any, but yes, Oh, by the way,
they say it's not looking good for Ballantinees. It's in
severe trouble in christ Church. Doesn't look good for that.

(01:35:07):
I don't know if they'll go. Wonder what do you think?
Been there for a long time? Last time I was there,
looked pretty ropey. That's department stores for you. Anyone's online now, Judith,
it's nice to have you on board tonight. So welcome strong,
welcome to you, Judith.

Speaker 11 (01:35:20):
Good evening, Oh, good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:35:23):
It's all quiet and Stokes really a couple of banks enough,
but it was a bad app Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
It seems like it's very orderly there.

Speaker 9 (01:35:33):
Oh, very orderly.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Okay, why would that be.

Speaker 9 (01:35:40):
I don't think people can afford fireworks anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:35:45):
Your The economy has not been good at Nelson, has it? People?
A lot of a lot of people lost their job
this year.

Speaker 9 (01:35:52):
Yeah, my neighbor the last stare at the at the mountain.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
Yeah, a lot of jobs went for the mountain. What
else closed there was that that chip factory wind, didn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:36:04):
Yeah, it was a funny name like chap it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Yeah, any good? They're too thin?

Speaker 9 (01:36:12):
I thought, no, excellent, they were excellent.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
Well they called proper Crisps or something.

Speaker 9 (01:36:18):
Yeah, proper exa one. Yeah, the supermarket at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:36:22):
I didn't like the packaging. I didn't like the pictures.
Oh you know, sometimes you see a packet you take
into it. I never kind of thought that I didn't
like the packaging. Where isn't it that what you can
dismiss something for?

Speaker 9 (01:36:38):
Well, I'll come buy a package tomorrow and I look
at that.

Speaker 11 (01:36:41):
And think of you.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
Yeah, good on you. You just do you do that?
That'd be nice to hear from you. By the way,
we're doing quite well in the cricket. We've actually come right.
Thirty four needed from thirteen thirteen into thirty four. You
need to we could do this this over four six
four four four and then a dot ball, so sixteen

(01:37:03):
twenty three for the over. That's not bad. They could
save us one four four four four four six six
sixteen six twenty two twenty three from the over, it's
unbelievable of a duffy or get run out of something. Boy,
that's good.

Speaker 8 (01:37:18):
Will you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
Our worms caught up with their worm? So thirty three
from twelve balls, you need three a ball, you need
a couple of six is to start off, you have
to get set ander on strike. You got anything interesting
to save on?

Speaker 9 (01:37:39):
Marcus?

Speaker 8 (01:37:40):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:37:41):
Thank you?

Speaker 10 (01:37:42):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (01:37:43):
Cool?

Speaker 10 (01:37:44):
Yes I have.

Speaker 23 (01:37:45):
And as I was on the phone the other night,
come to gym about my lasted DVD player not being
able to play a Region two disc. As I've found
out my DVD player apparently in New Zealand they only

(01:38:06):
play region for So I went ahead and I bought
a multi format DVD player and it arrived and my
son in law put it together and we went and
put this Region too disk in it, and it still

(01:38:26):
wouldn't play. Yes, so the damned upshotters that it's still
just because it says multi format, it doesn't mean it's
multi region. And I thought, and I thought, Marcus, there's
a lot of people my age and older that would

(01:38:48):
get caught out with this sort of stuff. And I
and I thought, why don't these shops and the like
have that sort of information available to us when we're purchasing,
so that we know what we're going to be buying.

(01:39:09):
And if they could have perhaps someone come from their
shop to sort of just run it through with us,
and that like they used to, you know, it used
to be called service that you know, you have you,
you have you, but some pieces delivered and the serviceman

(01:39:32):
would set it up for you, you know, like your
washing machines and your dryers and all that sort of
in your stoves. They would go through the manuals with you.
And that doesn't happen now. You're all meant to be
able to read and understand it, and you can't. I

(01:39:53):
might as I actually asked Ai, you know, how do
people get on? And he said that people between twenty
five and forty five are more technological savvy other than
the rest of us. And I wondered, how, I wondered,

(01:40:15):
how true is that? You know, because a man the
other night rang in, you know, and he was complaining
that you get to a certain age and you sort
of feel as though you're being left behind. And I thought,
you don't want to be classed as a moana, you know,
and an old person and a grizzler and a whiner,

(01:40:38):
but you do, because you know. It reminds me of
Bob Dylan's song you know, things are changing, and I thought, well,
you and time, Marcus will get to our age and
you'll probably have to contend with what's happening as new technology,

(01:41:00):
and you'll come across damn difficulties. So I you know,
you've got very quiet, you know, I hope I'm not,
you know, sort of moaning and not giving you a
chance to respond.

Speaker 3 (01:41:15):
It's exactly what you're doing, Yvonne. You're moaning and giving
me no chance to respond at all. You've talked and
talked and talked. You've talked and talked and talked and
talked and gave me no chance to talk.

Speaker 23 (01:41:25):
Well, well, please though, and that and I love other people,
you know, if they want to to call in, you know,
so we can get and understand.

Speaker 3 (01:41:35):
Could you please stop me?

Speaker 23 (01:41:37):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
What was the DVD?

Speaker 23 (01:41:41):
Oh, it's it's a three box set and it's got
the Queen Young Victoria and the King's speech and I
would love to watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
It was a present my son, three movies. Yes, Okay,
I've had enough, Yevon, but thank you so much for
your call. Wow, gosh, I just now when I was
going to get a chance to speak. I just watched
it online tresure. This is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:42:13):
Hello Marcus. Look I've I've missed your program tonight because
I've been on a mission. So we have horses, and
so we dread this time of year. And about five
o'clock my daughter said to me, Mum, the horses and

(01:42:37):
the paddocks just along the road where we have probably three.
She said, they're starting to run around already, and it's
not all it's not even dark. So I sort of
I didn't want to fuel her up, so I just
sort of said, look, well, we'll just see how it
plays out. So got dark, and then the almighty bangs

(01:43:00):
and the fireworks went off, and and so I thought
what do I do? So one of the lots was
not far from our house, so I quietly went over
there and just said to them, look, do you realize

(01:43:20):
that just in those paddocks there there's about eight horses
And they had no well, I didn't really say, but
they were quite happy to stop their fireworks. They're just
about dumb anyway. But I think it was the way
you have to handle it, you know, I rather than

(01:43:42):
go and they're charging and they were really lovely. I
was really frightened because I thought, heavens above because I
didn't know them. I didn't know them, and so then
I sort of drove around, just quietly around the street
and there was a lovely family and they were just

(01:44:02):
outside with some startlers. I stopped and had a chat
to them, probably ended up getting he was a house painter,
and I said, look, a're we needing a painting a
house painted soon, And the other guy with him said, well,
I'm the scaffolder. I said, good, well, I'll call you too,
And so I hope I didn't make any enemies around.

(01:44:23):
But it's all quiet now.

Speaker 8 (01:44:25):
But the thing is much Tricia.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
How are the horses.

Speaker 24 (01:44:29):
Well, this is the problem because if you go down
their shining torches on them, that'll spook them again.

Speaker 9 (01:44:35):
So I know.

Speaker 24 (01:44:37):
So it's been an interesting night. But my daughter put
up a lovely post. We live in a small town,
and she put up a lovely post saying thanking the
people who who didn't carry on too long with the fireworks,
and just briefly explained how terrifying it is for animals.

(01:45:02):
And so it's been an interesting night. But we've probably
got a few nights like.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
This, and you're going to check on the horses in
the morning, will.

Speaker 24 (01:45:10):
You absolutely yes, four o'clock. She'll be over there looking
and I said to her, want it't you go and
sleep over there? She said, Mom, I'm too tired. I can't.
So I don't know Marcus, where we are with fireworks
because I haven't heard two nights talk back. And I

(01:45:31):
hope people don't think I'm Michael Joy because that it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:45:35):
Frightening nice to hear from nutrition. By the way, the
cricket's got for exciting. I sat, there's gone in there
and hit forty three or twenty four balls. They now
need twenty from the last four balls, and two dot
balls have come. One of them was at his head.
But this guy just about saved the match. It was extraordinary.
But now it's twenty from four balls, so I think
it's six that he has gone for six and he's
got it too. I think that was six, so that's exciting.

(01:46:00):
So now I need fourteen from three balls. You want
to go and watch us on the TV. This is
quite exciting, so he's going to get he needs three
six as he could witness. I don't know when the
terms of history. That does seem to be an extraordinary
knock from Cannock from him. So yeah, there's only three
more balls left to go, but he needs four four six.

(01:46:22):
Four full four won't do it. They need fourteen from
three balls, so four four six will do it, but
four four four won't. So I need to six this
time and then two fours. But they'll bother his head again.
They did that last time. Let's have a break extraordinary
knocked by sat and we lose by seven runs. That
will be in the history books. I wouldn't be surprised.

(01:46:43):
It was a very good knock for Cannock for the
last guy, Alexander. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:46:49):
Yeah, hi Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:46:50):
Just know you can call me alex Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:53):
I quite like the formality of Alexander, but yeah, I'll
call you alex What are you whatever?

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
You like?

Speaker 20 (01:46:58):
Oh god, no, I've actus got a double barrel first time,
so it's actually Alexander dash William.

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
But anyway, well look at you with all those letters.

Speaker 20 (01:47:09):
You know what sort of plunker gives the child? I
think it's seven or eight syllables.

Speaker 3 (01:47:14):
That's that's your bettle to resolve, isn't it. I mean
you must have had you must have asked them.

Speaker 20 (01:47:23):
I mean it's my father is a war history sort
of nut.

Speaker 3 (01:47:27):
But you know what you're inflicted on your kids, do you?

Speaker 20 (01:47:32):
I mean, I suppose if you're a war history nut,
you're probably enjoying.

Speaker 3 (01:47:38):
Anyway.

Speaker 20 (01:47:40):
Now, I just wanted to ring up about the whole,
this whole firework thing, and our preface this by saying
I like wins and Peter's I actually voted from the
last time round, and it's actually one of my favorite
stories that I was accused of being his one of
his unruly grand children in the Coorer Club back in

(01:48:03):
the nineteen nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (01:48:06):
I like the bloke, but I am to use the
phrase he things be fond of these days. I think
in his old age, she's become a bit soft and woke.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
Well, that's the thing, isn't it was? I thought he
was the war on work guy, but he's become woke.

Speaker 20 (01:48:21):
Well, I think the whole dog racing thing, I mean,
you know what, why why is it fine for a
halftime based on spinning legs? Do you racing down a
track at forty miles an hour? And that's fine? Even
though I think more horses died than dogs each year.
I mean, it seems like you know, banning dog racing

(01:48:43):
is an attack on the working man, but because you know,
because he likes the horses, and I'm pretty sure he
owns a number of them.

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
And I think I think the the figure and I
don't want to rupt you, Alexander, but the figure that
some of the dog racing people rang me up about
and mentioned, and I think this is repeal from their argument.
In the year up to July twenty twenty five in Auckland,
and this will stagger you, six thousand and seventy nine

(01:49:15):
dogs were euthanized.

Speaker 20 (01:49:19):
Oh gosh, no, surely not absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:49:23):
Absolutely, So that's residential dogs with no homes were barely
looked after an Auckland, so they got no. I'm talking
about in comparison. You know, if you want to look
about things that are bad for dogs, it's the dog
owners that are bad to dogs. It's over six thousand
are euthanized. I mean, that's shocking, Yeah, I.

Speaker 20 (01:49:43):
Mean, And well, the other thing is, I don't get
how logistically so when this first came up last year
and they said, oh, you know, it's going to be
eighteen months and then it's banned again. I think there's
about three three and a half thousand racing dogs in
the country, and I read on the Rehoming Greyhounds website
they rehome about fifty a month now if you do

(01:50:04):
the math, that's nine hundred over eighteen months. And what's
going to happen to the other two and a half
thousand come next year?

Speaker 3 (01:50:14):
Yeah, but it's happening, isn't. There was no push, but
I mean there was no high I thought there'd be
some supreme correction. But he's managed to do it, hasn't it.
It certainly dog racing has gone.

Speaker 2 (01:50:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:50:25):
Yeah, I mean I don't follow. I have a bit
of a bet on the horses every now and then,
but you know, dog racings have been my thing. But
my brother in law he loves it. He would have
wanted to become a trainer at some point, but you
know that's all down the toilet. So yeah, I mean,
so that's I think that's the first work, sort of

(01:50:47):
random work thing he's done. But this whole fireworks issue,
I mean, Marcus, I think back to when you're a child,
the absolute joy, like running around the backyard, Sparkler's shooting
off Roman sticks and Katherine wheels on the fence. I
wouldn't want the children of the future to not have

(01:51:08):
the opportunity and do you want the do.

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
You want what's right for children in this world to
be decided by an eighty year old. But it's the
other thing too, you know, it's someone who's he's had
his jolleys when he was a kid. But it's a
long time it's a long time ago for someone to
be making decisions that. Yeah, I mean I do find it. Yeah,
I do struggle with politicians of that age telling us

(01:51:33):
how we should live our lives. Yeah, particularly having policy
for young people as well.

Speaker 20 (01:51:39):
And the other thing, I just think it seems absolutely hypocritical.
So yeah, his argument is, oh, you know, you know
the poor cats and dogs who get frightened, Well, is
it really too much to ask for their owners to
keep them inside for a couple of nights once a year,
is it really? I mean, what about the tens of
millions of native birds that roaman cats murder each year?

Speaker 7 (01:52:03):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:52:03):
Well, you know the cats are allowed three and sixty
five days a year, but they can't be kept inside
for guy fawk tonight because they might get upset it.
I got home at eight o'clock and the neighbors were
sitting off crackers and my cat was sitting on the
front door set watching it like he wasn't bothered.

Speaker 3 (01:52:22):
I think the thing I have got to say, though,
is I think it'll work for him. I think they'll
be votding it.

Speaker 20 (01:52:28):
Oh, probably, but I mean no, I think he's steering
towards work as him. Also with the horse lady, what
I don't get is if you own horses, like, yeah,
most of the time they are in a field, but
don't horses need a stable? But where did they load
for during the winter? Why don't you just pop them
in the stable?

Speaker 7 (01:52:48):
On Guy Fawks, I.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
Don't know the answer, but maybe someone else again like that,
I've got to go, but thank you so much for that.
We're just coming up to the news people here till twelve.
Keep those texts in on guy Fawks. Night seems to
have been uneventful. I'm seeing our headlines about fires. Hit'll
twelve looking forward to what you've got to say, Susie.
Thanks for hanging on there for ever. It's Marcus. Good evening,

(01:53:11):
Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:53:13):
Marcus. That ladies that rung up about a DVD player.
I had that same trouble too. But I rung Smith
because that's where I got it at the time when
they had a home appliance department, and they told me
to look in the manual and all you have to
do is press Egypt. So your tray comes out and
there's a number that your press in to your TV

(01:53:35):
or your DVD or whatever. I don't know. She needs
to read her manual and that takes zone Twoman zone
for it makes it multiplay.

Speaker 16 (01:53:44):
So what do you do again, Well, she would have
to look up.

Speaker 25 (01:53:50):
They did it over the phone with me that I
found my manual. When I found out how to do it.
You just you know how you're going to put a
disc in. You just open the tray. Then you get
your remote and press what numbers the manual says, and
it can take zone four, zone two.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
It's multipay, okay, So yeah, okay. And of course there's
not much money and selling those things anyway, so you
can't expect the people to come out and fix it.
I thought you was hoping a bit much. I mean,
customer service in those days was when TV's worth about
three thousand dollars. This stuff just cheap stuff, isn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:54:23):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, busday night with fireworks around here, Marcus,
were you Susie Iman Wavery Glengarry area?

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
Oh in in the cargo? Okay, yeah, yeah, they'd be going, well,
what don't Yeah, I've just spoken to Yeah, I just
spoke of Vanessa and the kids had a great day
and bluff with it. They don't normally do it, but
they went to some friends and they've just got homes.
It's a late night for them.

Speaker 25 (01:54:43):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Lovely to hear from you, Susie. Thank you. Getting touch
people at ten past eleven here till twelve. Oh wait,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus till twelve. Fireworks, dogs,
horses YouTube. But of everything tonight, there's an amazing footage
I shouldn't say amazing footage, the lot of footage of

(01:55:08):
this plane crash. But there's a guy who's got dashcam footage. Gosh,
the reaction of this guy is incredible. He sort of
sees this whole flaming fireball coming towards him. Holy heck.
He says, facials are unbelievable. Fully fueled plane of course,
ups United partial service, but some amazing ct ct CCTV

(01:55:32):
footage of that. That was the big story for today.
Also to of course the new mayor of New York
thirty four free busses. Bring it on. I don't know
how they'll pay for that, but there'll be away do
things a bit different. Shake it up, shake it up

(01:55:53):
if you want to talk on hear if you want
to shake it up. By the way, here's the tail
of the report. Michael Satner heroics. Yep. It's been six
hundred and twenty one days since the black Caps last
one to twenty twenty at Eden Park. Saturn's innings, which
contained eight fours and two six has got the black

(01:56:13):
Caps much closer than ever they should have been. So
that was an extraordinary and I don't know if that
was a world record or something for a last wicket
partnership is very very good? Is Centaer in the IPL?
I presume he is. If he's that good a bowler
and bats person, what's he worth over there? Because he
seems very good tonight being touchy, you want to talk

(01:56:34):
about any of this? Oh yeah, I turned grand from
them on by Indians. Okay, but it's not much worth
one point nine million last year and one point none.
Oh he's got a lot of money. Well, he's got
a lot of money over the years. But seven million dollars.
It's a big coin, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:56:53):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:56:55):
Eight ipl seasons so far. Yeah, gab, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:57:00):
Hey you do money?

Speaker 3 (01:57:01):
Good gab.

Speaker 11 (01:57:03):
Yeah, it was a field report.

Speaker 3 (01:57:05):
Yes, you know hebby, this is your order yep.

Speaker 7 (01:57:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:57:11):
So I've got a behind the wheel of the old
John there today, heavy rolling.

Speaker 3 (01:57:18):
Is it for stones or is it just a question?

Speaker 11 (01:57:21):
You push the stones down?

Speaker 7 (01:57:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:57:24):
And in a paddic of clover so that when the
mother goes over it, they can go over at super
high speed without hitting a steel.

Speaker 3 (01:57:33):
Oh you is it a giant barrel with water in it?

Speaker 8 (01:57:35):
Is it?

Speaker 11 (01:57:36):
Yeah? Exactly? It's fourteen ton.

Speaker 3 (01:57:39):
Listen to listen to me. Listen to me talking like
a country folk, talking like a towny, talking to you
about this and knowing what I'm on. Must bring, must
bring a tear to here, I give.

Speaker 11 (01:57:50):
Okay, it didn't make me very happy, you know. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
But have you actually got a farm?

Speaker 19 (01:57:57):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:57:57):
I actually had to drive it from my hometown to Springstown,
which is about a fourteen k drive.

Speaker 3 (01:58:09):
Yeah, okay, what was this guy? And Ken to be
with all those appliances on fire. What's happening there?

Speaker 19 (01:58:14):
Do you know him?

Speaker 11 (01:58:16):
I heard it was that was in Darfield. It was
a recycling center.

Speaker 3 (01:58:20):
Oh okay, I couldn't work out with something.

Speaker 11 (01:58:22):
Okay, that makes it white recycling, so.

Speaker 3 (01:58:25):
Oh okay, I just couldn't work out where farmerhead all
this white where that makes much more sense.

Speaker 11 (01:58:29):
Now, Yeah, that's exactly what that was, buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
Okay, fireworks are right for you tonight there, gab Well.

Speaker 11 (01:58:36):
I was going to say that osborn in nineteen sixty eight,
ok And my mother Joy that was the name. We
had a sandpit, all right, and come fireworks night, she
used to make us thig some sand to the sandpit

(01:58:57):
and then put it with a pick a spot in
the middle of the lawn and put some sand down.
She's paranoid about ship a fire and then I think
it's either a wine bottle and then we'd all stand.

Speaker 4 (01:59:11):
Back and.

Speaker 3 (01:59:13):
Oh Joy, good old Joy Joy had it going on
on safety fairs. That's it. That's what we know about.

Speaker 6 (01:59:20):
Joey.

Speaker 3 (01:59:20):
I'm gonna run Gave. Do you watch the cricket Gave?

Speaker 11 (01:59:26):
I didn't watch it, but I remember that I heard
on the radio the other day about the Underground Bowl
fifty year anniversary.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
Under und wouldn't be that long, is it, Krikey Walker.

Speaker 11 (01:59:39):
I'd check that out.

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
Really, what year was it?

Speaker 11 (01:59:44):
I can't remember exactly, but I was telling my son
about it. I said it was a low move, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:51):
It was nineteen eighty one, so it's forty four.

Speaker 11 (01:59:54):
Years something that something happened about it. Today I heard
on the radio, low blow those Australians low blow.

Speaker 3 (02:00:02):
You haveing a good night? Gave I got a run,
But you're not fifty years. It's forty four years. Oh,
here's something of interest. Has anyone seen Kim Kardashian's new
drama All's Fair? They reckon? It's been the worst TV
show ever made. It's got zero on Rotten Tomatoes and
you can't even it's so bad you can't even hate
watch it. I don't know if anyone has seen it,

(02:00:22):
but apparently it is diabolical because Glenn Close and it's
a good cast. I don't think Kim Kardashians acted before,
and I'm team Kim, but yeah, they reckon. This is
just terrible. Where do we watch that? Dan sh Big,
your pardon all's fair. It's on Hulu Hulu Originals. But yes,

(02:00:47):
apparently diabolical.

Speaker 4 (02:00:51):
Zero.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
No one has even got one star anywhere. It's a
whole of women that were sacked by their male law firm,
so they start their own law firm or Disney plus I,
we've got that. When's my final of the celebrity traitors?

Speaker 11 (02:01:10):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (02:01:12):
I used Dan like I used Dan, like chet Gpta,
Dan like my Alexa Dan. He's very good on technical stuff, Dan.
I think it might be tonight. It might be tomorrow
Night'm not quitting. I'm not watching when I get home.
It's sixteen past eleven. Well, tonight went much EASi than
I thought. It's all in the mind talk about you

(02:01:34):
can actually fight against it or go with the flow.
Sometimes the people are there, and sometimes they're really there. Marcus,
we've beenn YouTube in our home and the kids are
a lot more happy and more engaged in conversations, and
as a family, we enjoy family nights. So, according to

(02:01:57):
your ignorant caller, because cats eak birds, it's okay to
terrorize them with fireworks. What an idiot? Well, I thought
there were points he had made. Did they expect people
to moderate their behavior with fireworks, but to canonners moderate
their behavior and let them not pray outside on birds.
Not really. By the way, the Western is a Backington
Park tomorrow. There's two matches in two days there, so

(02:02:19):
that was extraordinary, Satiner, but you're not the victory, not
the win that they wanted. Twenty past eleven, good evening, people,
welcome on him as Marcus. I hope it's good where
you are. If you want to be a part of
the show tonight, jump in. Let's have you say in
the final hour. We've talked about YouTube and these new
speed cameras where their average is speed out between two destinations.

(02:02:43):
So yeah, get in touch if you want to talk
about this or anything else tonight. Feel free. Let's be
hearing from you. You might have been following some of
those online forums about Air India. We're always interested in
what's happening with that incident. If you've got some reports
on that'd be pretty keen to hear about that. Haven't
heard much about that at all lately, the Air India crash.

(02:03:08):
Why do we wait so long for the results of
that investigation. It's surprising, isn't it. And also the temperatures
they twenty seven degrees and invert cargo. At five o'clock
he had to pick up the child from the stadium,
had to couldn't find a treaty shelter and it all
been blowing down. Car was too hot. Yeah, but be

(02:03:30):
in touch if you want to here till twelve. Good evening, Toby.
This is Marcus. Welcome and Marcus. How are you good, Toby?

Speaker 7 (02:03:41):
I just watched the last few overs of the cricket
Mitchell Stantna pretty fantastic. Yeah, fantastic. He just showed up.
The rest of his team has athleticism, confidence. Yeah, the
rest of the team should have been embarrassed actually, and
I liked.

Speaker 3 (02:04:00):
It because if really becked himself. He was disappointed not
to win, which I liked.

Speaker 7 (02:04:04):
Yes, so you really did back himself. Yeah, I looked
at disappointment at the end. He was just smacking them.
But it was good to see West Indies finally, you know,
have showed themselves the talent that they can be of
the past in the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 3 (02:04:22):
Yep, well they seemed to be a very good twenty
twenty team.

Speaker 7 (02:04:27):
Yes, actually watched so one day test down and mount
Mom going to be a few weeks ago where we played,
I don't know Australia anyway, we got smacked out of
the park park and I kind of looked at the
athleticism of some of our players and I think some

(02:04:50):
of them need a little bit more training, you know, fitness,
gym and genetic selection. Yes, like, did you notice stuff?
He only scored run? One run and the whole time
center was on there.

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
Yeah, although I don't think he had to strike much.
Did he well that they.

Speaker 7 (02:05:12):
Didn't want him to straight? Is you hopeless?

Speaker 3 (02:05:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:05:19):
The other thing is Kim Kardashian and a new show.
I saw them and her co actress On and Norton
the show the other night, and they are really pumping
up their new drama. But obviously it's fall.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
They must have. They must have, they must have. Norah
was terrible. Sure, it's that bad. They must have had
an inkling.

Speaker 7 (02:05:44):
Well, they seem pretty positive on Graham.

Speaker 11 (02:05:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:05:52):
And one more thing, it's funny old Graham Norton because
they've already they've already on Graham Norton. They've already been
pre interviewed so many times. They've got the anecdotes and
the lines they've got to hit, haven't they it's free organized,
isn't it.

Speaker 11 (02:06:05):
Is it really?

Speaker 3 (02:06:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:06:07):
I thought it was all lost count No.

Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
No, I think they find out the three fun stories
from people. He kind of quietly gets out of them.
By the way, that tenth wicket partnership is the fourth
highest partnership in T twenty international cricket.

Speaker 6 (02:06:20):
Is that right?

Speaker 9 (02:06:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:06:21):
Okay, one more thing needs speed cameras where they measure
your speed between two points. So I used to live
in California in nineteen eighty five, and they used to
have aeroplanes. It would time you at one point and

(02:06:43):
then fly to another point and time you how long
it took you to get to that other point, and
then identify the vehiclein and I think that radio deplete
know that radio the police and say there was a
red Dodge brand it's been speeding between these two points.

(02:07:04):
And then a uh motor vehicle would go and catch
there and then fine. So that was back in eighty five. Okay,
so it's been around.

Speaker 8 (02:07:16):
For a while.

Speaker 3 (02:07:17):
Yeah, Well it seems to be a lot cheaper now
than flying and chasing people. That would be unrealistic over
a long time, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:07:25):
True, you sound young, You sound young to be living
in California in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 7 (02:07:29):
Five and you're twenty two twenty two, Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:07:36):
What were you doing anything interesting?

Speaker 7 (02:07:39):
I was on exchange to university there my last year.
Spent three years at Massa University. Thank thankfully, I go
to Parmerston North and went to California.

Speaker 11 (02:07:50):
With my last.

Speaker 3 (02:07:53):
Yeah, big difference there.

Speaker 8 (02:07:57):
I can go.

Speaker 7 (02:07:59):
Drafty twelve dollars a week villa and windy, miserable Parmas
North to central coast California was yea plus. The ratio
of males to females at that time the massive university
was about fifteen to one. So to go to another

(02:08:19):
university work well supposedly as that? Yeah, very I think brilliant.

Speaker 3 (02:08:26):
Good to hear from you, Toby, twenty six, pass leven,
looking forward to your calls.

Speaker 2 (02:08:31):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:08:38):
Marcus is the guy didn't understand why it couldn't start
an open cast mine and a mound called back. I
can't wait to find his answer to the much debated
question does water run up?

Speaker 19 (02:08:45):
Hell?

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
Wow, oh, here we go, cure Marcus? Is anyone following three?
I Atlas? Well, God, I've got a mate that comes
around all the time. When he said Flip's funny, he says.
He says, thor you've got to keep an eye on
three eye Atlas. Now three eye atlasts right, and I
forgot about this, I said, yeah when we see around

(02:09:07):
Saturday night. I don't know where he gets all his
news from, but he's always right, old GeV. Three i
Atlas is three interstellar. It's the third object interstellar. So
there was there was which was the first one, and
this three iye Atlas is going off. It's doing it's

(02:09:33):
doing nothing like any interstellar object or any object's done before,
as it's got. Yeah, so if you're following that, or
if anyone wants to talk about that, it's a comet,
but it's interstellar, it's the it's it's a big deal,
and nothing about it is predictable. So if anyone's up

(02:09:55):
with the history of this, it's pretty interesting. So it's
trajectory and everything it's doing is incredibly I don't even
think it. I think even it might be non uta.
I don't know what's happening with it's Perihelian. So if
you want to mention that or know anything about that,

(02:10:15):
there's a lot of it and its plume faces the
sun which is weird because normally they go away from
the Sun, so no one quite knows what it is.
So yeah, she's pretty interesting. But there's a huge Wikipedia
page on and read there's great observation. It's or pretty scientific.

(02:10:40):
But people have people have published papers speculating that could
be a extraterrestrial spacecraft because it has enormous characteristic charistic
say such as having an apparently large size, lequi, identifiable chemicals,
and apparently improbable trajectory, although others have said the overwoman,

(02:11:06):
and consensus is that it is a comet. So there
we go. So it's all happening. So yeah, they're always
thinking interstellar objects are extraterrestrial spacecraft. But anyway, keeping eye
on that. It's called three AI. I think that's something

(02:11:27):
that happening twenty nine away from twelve. If you've got
any reports on fireworks or anything else before the end
of the show, that would be nice to hear from.
You be in touch. If anyone's seen the show with
Kim Kadesha, not the Kid to keep it up, but
the Lawyer show, the legal show. It's on Disney. No
one's got a kind word to say about it. I

(02:11:47):
don't know if it was a vanity procres it was
a vanity project, what else would it be. Just look
at all the websites, the news websites for tonight. The
fireworks seem to have happened at the cricket with Setna,
so there's no reports of bad behavior with the fireworks.
All seems to have been quite hype down. So even

(02:12:08):
on a full moon, that people were well behaved, that's
good news. Make of that what you will. So the
real headlines tonight with a chicken awful, truck tipping over
and the twenty twenty cricket match. Yeah.
