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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be Greetings, good evening and welcome seven past. Hey you
even been kicked off a cruise ship for fighting? I haven't.
I'm just looking at this article. So here's the situation.
There is a giant cruise ship with four thousand people
on it. It's called Evation of the Seas. It's called
something like that. Has it called Evation of the Seas? Anyway,

(00:33):
it was going from fi Woodland to Port Charmers in
Dunedin and tell them got in a fight anthem of
the seas. So doctor Port Charmers this morning anyway, Oh

(00:53):
maybe I arrived last night. But the police attended to
the ship this morning and they spoke to one of
the guys, warned the man for assault, and they kicked
him off this ship. I mean, the manut to leave
his family behind and we'll have to make his own
arrangements back to Australia where he resides. Durmber that time time, Dad,

(01:14):
you got kicked off the cruise. Love the other mayor
receive medical attention on board for a cut to his nose.
I guess it happens. I guess there are fights on
cruise ships anyway, you might want to mention that you
might have been in one. I don't know if you
have been. Oh, eight hundred and eighty eight eady nine text,

(01:36):
how you're going anyway? People fell pet you old night
down here we're the wise cheapers rain. Have you ever
been on the brig? It's the question for you, or
been in a fight, because I presume with free alcohol too.
I mean, I guess it's like a pub sometimes at
a boredom, but between Fjordland and Port charm it sounds

(01:58):
disrespectful to the fovo straight to me been to pack
and save tonight at our pack and save in invert cargo.
There is a sign that says that you've got ninety
minutes to do your shopping. Any want out today? Time
themselves how long it took and went over an hour?
It'd be pretty interesting as in and out ten minutes

(02:19):
probably five? Yeah, anyone time there's shopping, I'm curious about that.
Let me know how that worked out for your eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
de text. If you did time your shopping and how
slow it was, or if you've been to live in
Peck and Save Mini Peck and Save and managed to

(02:39):
spend over an hour. Always good to hear from you
about that, by the way, too, if you want to
get involved. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
two nine two de texts. She's all on people get
in touches the Friday three for all nothing much happens
on a Friday, but will make it happen. But yes,
we're already talking about who's going to replace the breakfast

(03:00):
host on TV one. They love doing this, don't they. Oh,
who's going to replace Jenny May? And they can't always
throw up all these names. But I think the real
question you would be who'd want to replace it? I
don't think many people watch Breakfast TV. Do they not
think it makes any money? No one is it buying
advertising that time of the morning, people are driving to work.

(03:22):
You can't watch breakfast TV and the carrent's no good.
So I don't quite know. I don't even know how many.
It's been a long long time since I watched Breakfast TV.
But Ticklas TV. But Genny Mayer is going, Simon Dello's going,
Ginny Mayer is going. I don't know what that's about
They say that could be Toga O'Brien and Lloyd Burr

(03:45):
or Melissa chan Green might be something entirely different. Also,
it's his news talk z'd be hosts such as Hither Dooo,
Polas See Allen and Ryan Bridge are still to be
locked into contracts for several years. Who knew that was
an option? Maybe Ginny May's coming to z B. Who knows.

(04:06):
In the world of media, there's always a Christmas cull.
They call it the Christmas culll in the media. That's
when they get rid of everyone. And yeah, it's starting
now and in the next four or five weeks to
be some people will be sacked famous radio the Christmas cull.
That way, it's quiet over the Christmas and your start.
And I hope people have forgotten who they've sacked. That's speculation,

(04:27):
But anyway, there's a list of people you're supposed to
haven't voted on this. Whosul I vote for? There's a
poll I've voted for tovera thirteen percent. There you go
get in touch, Marcus to twelve. You want to talk
on each tonight. If you're doing something interesting on this Friday,
keep it interesting. It's a Friday Free for all. What
have you got? What have you got? What have you got?
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. You might be an

(04:47):
ubrast you might be out there doing something. You might
have breaking news for us. Also tonight, every time I
turn on the radio, there's some financial consultant say, what
you do with your fifty five million dollars? Seems indecent,
doesn't it? How much? Everest and greed and hope and
I don't know what to say about that. You'd given away,

(05:11):
wouldn't you.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Oh, it'll be fifty people get a million. People say, well,
if fifty people got a million, that people wouldn't be
buying it. People only start kicking in when it gets
to this amount and think, well, that would be life
changing by a country. Oh he's a nice text. Marcus.
Talking about broadcasters. I met Jenny Goodwin on Sunday. Amazing woman, inspiration,

(05:37):
one of the first women ever to be broadcasting. It's
just amazing to see her and how she was there
for thirty years and survived. Great to see Thanks Gary, brilliant,
Love you Gary. Now where did she grew up? I
think she grew up nearby actually where I was tover
all the way. She's the best. Good on you, Marty.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
A lot of the years of farming. And I'm on
the new baz of trying to do more things with less.

like the very Friday free for All. You've been on

(09:43):
a fight on a ship, Peepe, Have you been in
the brig No?

Speaker 10 (09:47):
Mark, someone was brought up. Well, but how are you
mar because I do that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
You never have you had a night in the cells?

Speaker 10 (09:54):
No, that's one thing I have not done.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
No, not yet yet. We always say with you, pete yet.

Speaker 10 (10:00):
But when it's when it's free, when you don't want
to do that because you don't want to standy long
in some countries and you're really have.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
To, that's right, only end up in the Bangkok Hilton
or whatever it's called.

Speaker 10 (10:10):
The what do you call it? What the police all
around the world they it's everywhere and now they go,
what's what's the word they use and everybody?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
You mean, Mark?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
You mean when they when they take you the weird countries?
What's it called?

Speaker 9 (10:28):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (10:28):
No, what's that? What's that word? When they countries that
got they have buy it's the word they use, they.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Got tradition, ex tradition, treaties, the special.

Speaker 10 (10:40):
Word for you mean, you mean you know the word
that got my going back to about.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The I want to work out this word?

Speaker 10 (10:50):
Ah, what is it? Boy?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
What's it? When the Americans take it? What's the when
the Americans take you to an unknown country for interrogation.
What's that called?

Speaker 10 (11:08):
Ah, I'm not do sure. There's a lot of words
you can use that and they don't even know.

Speaker 11 (11:11):
One of them.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I think it's called an extraordinary rendition. Anyway, what have
you got to say?

Speaker 10 (11:16):
Yeah, regaining LOTO, I reckon what it should do as
soon as you get the twenty million. I know you
don't agree to it, but isn't there seems to go
to twenty million? It should be split into four people.
Isn't there better off having four different people having five
million dollars than one person winning fifty million. There's just
no need. But let's speak fifty and I reckon you
do the maths. People knew, they didn't say they'd set

(11:39):
that present that you got up the twenty mil. Don't
sell a shitload of peak.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
We don't swear for a start. Yeah, the whole thing
about this is greed. People only start kicking in it.
I only kick in at fifty mil. So there's a
whole lot of us that don't buy tickets until it's
that much. So it was just four lots of five million.
People aren't going to buy the tickets. That's why they
do it.

Speaker 10 (12:03):
No, I reckon they would, well.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
No one.

Speaker 10 (12:09):
Would you.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Too?

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Right?

Speaker 10 (12:11):
What if I knew that it's up to twenty million tonight,
whether it's a Wednesday or Thursday. You I hope you
get a lot of calls through this tonight. I can
guarantee ther sales would shoot showed up on that twenty million.
But you guarantee there's only four people it's going to
have a chance at five million dollars each. Isn't that
even five millions enough for someone to get started? You

(12:31):
don't you be raving five?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
He calm down. It's not whether you're better, it's it's
a numbers game. They want to sell as many as possible.
If that would have worked, they would have done that.

Speaker 12 (12:43):
No, I reckon.

Speaker 10 (12:44):
They want to get me on the commission board of
the locky board. I'll change it for them. It's a street.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But the whole point, the whole point is when you're
gonna have to fifty five million, everyone's talking about it
becomes hyped. If you had four lots of five million,
it wouldn't become hyped. No one would care. And that's
just like Scurty on five a round four people.

Speaker 10 (13:04):
But they haven't tried that, and they don't because they
use in that scenario is get up the fifty million,
whatever it is, they sell more tickets. I don't believe
in that scenario. I think it's a dumb way of
doing maps.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, it works for them, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (13:19):
Well, I'm going to be one and I'm going to
buy some tomorrow, but I don't reckon it doesn't have
to go that high. You have to give me a
lot of fobick tonight. Twenty million. What I'm saying is a.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Good idea fifty five because that's what I've got people
buying it.

Speaker 10 (13:31):
Yeah, but who wants tofty five million?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
You do you do, Pete? Change your life?

Speaker 10 (13:35):
I don't need it, but I'm just doing what you
could do.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
You could park where you wanted.

Speaker 10 (13:41):
I could probably just retire on fifty five.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
You can employ someone full time to buy your parking
tickets rather put rather than putting me to sleep. They'd
be fantastic. You wander around the world, parking where you want,
park here, pack.

Speaker 10 (13:54):
It would make my life a little bit easier.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
You don't say with the fifty five million paid nice
to talk twenty one past eight, Sam, this is Marcus welcome, Oh.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Here you go, good time.

Speaker 13 (14:08):
I tend to agree with actually the last call. I
actually I don't buy lot of tickets. I've probably bought
a handful of my whole life on in my forties.
And the reason why I would probably go and buy
a whole lot of tickets that they were given out
four draws of five million or ten draws of five million.

Speaker 14 (14:25):
Is it just increases your percentages.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
So yeah, it's like the fifty five million sounds sounds fantastic,
but I think ten draws of five million, I'd actually
go out and buy a whole on a lot of.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Tickets, but there wouldn't be the hype for it though, would.

Speaker 13 (14:40):
There I me personally would have would feel more hype
on that on the other scenario, because it increases your percentages,
so there's more of a chance of winning. So whereas
winning fifty five million, I don't know what the percentage are,
but it's like one insane that well, they won't know them.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
They won't know the percentage because I work out how
many people buy them.

Speaker 15 (15:04):
I suppose Oh no, I.

Speaker 13 (15:06):
Think is it like a general percentage of thing like
that one out of so many hundred million chances of
actually your numbers.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh yeah, but I think I think it's very very
hard to buy. So a lot of people will be
buying tickets for it. But yeah, oh well, Josh, it's
Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 16 (15:21):
Yeah you get it. Mark, I say, yeah, a lot
of things. So you know, everyone goes into contemplation mode,
what would they do?

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Et cetera.

Speaker 16 (15:31):
So what I did is I decided that, hey, I
don't need fifty five million, But I posed the question,
what would forty million dollars be invested and say Fisher
funds with compounding interests over a twenty year period. I mean,
I was trying to figure this out. I got up

(15:52):
to eighty four million, but I don't know if that's
quite accurate. If any one knows what forty million dollars
is with compounding interest over twenty years.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I guess it depends on what kind of invest plan
you've got it. And I suppose you should be able
to double it every seven years.

Speaker 16 (16:09):
I think, yeah, it's kind of rough. Like I'm based
on seventy percent, and I'm like, is that too much?
Is that not enough? I mean, what do people get
interested on like this big money? Right? So I mean
you're not getting interest on any little money at the moment.
But if you're going to chuck that kind of money
at it, what is the interest rate? What's you know?

(16:32):
I knows what is the best interesting?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's more than you could It's more than you could
spend the interest in the lifetime.

Speaker 16 (16:38):
Yeah, I'd like to think so a and and that
that could you could build a legacy with that? Couldn't
you more hard out than just going and getting a Lamborghini?

Speaker 7 (16:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (16:51):
Yeah, it'd be slightly more meaningful, you think. But no,
you know why I thought of that. Marcus is like, oh,
I'm a little bit younger than you, but I was thinking, gosh,
don it what didn't you want to have a trial run?
So you split it up? You take your first fifteen
mel and you're like, all right, I've got twenty years

(17:12):
to get through this before I get my other money
back free. Well, you can split it in two. You
keep fifteen mill and then invest forty and don't touch it.
So twenty years, No, not allowed to touch it. You've
got to get good with the first fifteen mill first

(17:33):
before you get your big shebang when you retire.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
I hope you're win. Josh did you buy a ticket?

Speaker 16 (17:40):
Ah, yes, I've got one, but no, I yeah, what
is it now? Because Marcus this other thing. They changed
the odds, didn't they somehow they made the odds wider,
somehow by.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Those different numbers of balls. Yeah. I can't really, I can't.
I don't. I don't really follow Loto. But what you've
got to get two different balls, do you?

Speaker 16 (18:04):
No, I heard they've done. I've done something to the
numbers to spread the odds out further.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
So it used to be I think Powerball went from
eight till ten different balls, So you've got to get.

Speaker 16 (18:16):
All the right it was, Yeah, that was theable. Yeah,
you're right, that's the variable, and that spreads the chances
out another a few billion or something basics. So you're like, yeah,
I mean, there's five million of us and I need
to think, is that two billion dollars worth of ticket sales?

(18:36):
I was trying to do the mass on that. I'm guessing, Well.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I guess they don't know how many. I mean, they're not.
They will sell it. They will sell a huge amount.
They will probably sell ten times more than they normally
do because your chances of winning it has to go
fifty five has to go. Last time you bought it,
it didn't have to go. So a lot of people
bought tickets and they weren't there. So the odds are

(19:02):
probably better because it's got to be one now that
I think about it, because last time nothing was one.
In fact, the last six or seven times, nothing's been one.
That's my take on it. Hold your horse for you there.
I'll get to you soon, Stephen. It's Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
You guys, listen what you want?

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Good evening?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Hi Stephen? You got saw it?

Speaker 9 (19:23):
Can I?

Speaker 5 (19:24):
Stephen? Stephen ned here. I've got a lot of money
and Fisher funds. At the moment, I'm wondering, what does
Gorge starving pay life?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Well, you don't even know what you're about, but it's
Marcus Good Evening. You're there, Tim, Oh yeah, get out
here of your own, good Tim, what's up?

Speaker 17 (19:44):
I was going to give you a quick indicator of
how to figure out how long it takes a double.
So if your head something that was growing at ten
percent for a year, have you go seveny divided by ten, right,
that means it'll be takes seven years for the double, roughly.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I hope the guy's still listening.

Speaker 17 (20:02):
But yeah, yeah, so so now that's that's assuming. That's
it's compounding at the end of every year. You know
that you can do that. But it is approximate, so rough.
It's a rough rule of dumb. But it was compounding daily.
It's a whole lot more complicated, but anyway, it still
give you an indicab So like you the same for economy.
Of economy is growing about one percent per year, really
short growth rate, then it's going to take seventy years

(20:22):
for your economy to double.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
So he's divide.

Speaker 17 (20:24):
It's called the rule of seventy by seventy by the percentage,
there's a rough indicator of how long it takes whatever
you started once to double. Brilliant, cheers, no worries?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Is it it? Okay, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, okay,
thank you, Dave Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (20:40):
Is it to celebrate two wins for the sleek? Of course,
I saw an ad for a job that I thought
I might like dragging a sixty ton unit from Auckland
to christ Church and the variety of an night driving
the kayaker as I applied for that job, so it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Just a one off hang on, is this like a
regular job.

Speaker 15 (21:03):
Yes, it's a full time, forever job. Sleep in the track,
peace and quiet.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
What are you driving? And what a double A B train?

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Sixty ten rated B train?

Speaker 15 (21:13):
Ordinary trucks are forty four ton in these days the
hpmvs can do sixty ton.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I thought they switched drivers over. But that's a good
Like I said, how we go down, you'd go down
and back in a week.

Speaker 15 (21:25):
You might do two trips in a week if you
had a tailwind.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Okay, great.

Speaker 15 (21:30):
One hundred and twenty people applied for the job.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yep, I got it.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Wow, that's exciting.

Speaker 9 (21:38):
Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with that. I start on Monday.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
What's the contest. What's in the back of the truck.

Speaker 15 (21:44):
I'm going down as career freight and coming back up
as milk powder, timber, whatever they can get their hands on.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
And you at the interview, do they discuss the actual truck.

Speaker 9 (21:58):
Yes, that's Evolvo and I like European fleet.

Speaker 11 (22:03):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
If you had a look in the cab.

Speaker 15 (22:06):
No, they're giving me an old girl, which I don't
mind so much. Some people have fussed some of the
probably other drivers who might had more skill didn't get
the job because they might have been a bit fussy
where I don't mind driving an old girl because they're
just reliable and you know, you just quietly get me
you need to go.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
But there's a big bead space in the back of
the campers there.

Speaker 15 (22:27):
Yeah, there's big as long as you're skinny. Do you
want the second win?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, it's your core.

Speaker 15 (22:33):
But yes, I was married for ten years and it
didn't work out and we got divorced. So we did
week about caring for the kids, and after three and
a half years we worked our way through it and
on eleven eleven eleven at eleven eleven am, we remarried
On Tuesday, my fourteenth wedding anniversary with the ebbs.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Hang on, you just cut out there on Tuesday. You
can't leave it. You're still there day. You can't leave
us hanging Tuesday.

Speaker 15 (23:01):
Yeah, sorry, Tuesday, fourteenth wedding anniversary with the love of
my life.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
So when did you get remarried?

Speaker 15 (23:11):
Eleventh of November two thousand and eleven at eleven eleven am.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
So when did you first get married? Is it theirs?
You've only been met You didn't get officially divorced.

Speaker 15 (23:23):
She divorced me, slapped the papers on my chest, shocked
the pens off me.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
So when did you get divorced?

Speaker 15 (23:29):
Three and a half years prior to eleven eleven eleven?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
So when did you first get married?

Speaker 9 (23:34):
Ten years before that?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
On the eleven eleven eleven, ten.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
Years before the three and a half years. But we
were married ten years and then separated three and a
half years and then remarried.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Who changed you were her?

Speaker 15 (23:49):
We both did? We both It takes two wrongs to
make a right. So I think, in the benefit of hindsight,
almost every relationship that fails, it's two people to make
it fail. You can't just have one caused it. So
we both over those three and a half years, we
spoke it through, learned the lessons. There was things I

(24:12):
wanted from my wife and there's things she wanted from me.
We both wanted the same outcome to parent our children
together and to have a meaningful marriage, and we achieved it.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Did you have other relationships in the three years?

Speaker 15 (24:25):
Only a couple of hundred?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Why would you say that?

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, it's the truth.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Makes you sound pretty what you were her? You had
a couple of hundred.

Speaker 15 (24:37):
No, not literally, during the time that I wanted us
to remarry, my wife kept telling me to go away.
You know, you're a loser of an individual.

Speaker 18 (24:46):
Go away.

Speaker 15 (24:46):
So I did, but I could never find anyone else
that I liked, And after seven days I gave up
and kept coming back. Please, please, please, And.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Eventually, after after seven days.

Speaker 15 (24:58):
Yeah, Well, if I don't know what your journey has
been like, but if you meet someone, you have dinner
with them, you hold your hat hands and you walk
around the park. When you get to learn who they are,
you're either more interested or not. Because I was always
in love with my wife, I could just never be
free to be interested. Okay, so two wins for this week,

(25:24):
which I'm pretty excited about both of them.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You're going to be away from the marriage a lot, though,
aren't you, with your truck driving job.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
She's allowed to sneak in here.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Well, she don't want to be in a drive up
around the country, doesn't she.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
She loves being with me?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Well not not for three years. Okay, good on your day, Fridge.
I almost said there were there. Freak me out. That cool.
He's got he's got a he's got a he's a
big revealer in he no filters, Marcaus, I spent fifty
dollars for the winning lotto tickets so all your listeners
can rest easy and wish to be well. Apparently I've

(26:00):
spoken to these people. Apparently if you sell lotto, it's
very tedious. The things people say to you, like they say, oh,
they're winning that. You get a lot of people saying
the same thing, like four hundred times a day. What
numbers would you like? The winning ones? Are those of
the winning ones? Things like that. Blah blah blah blah blah, Marcus,
we still have accomplistion. We're at university to see he

(26:21):
could do the full shop the fastest. I think we
got it down to a few minutes. We probably upset
the parming North locals. Oh my god, that poor woman
married to that guy. Seriously, yeah, wow, cheepers, Marcus. Whether
it's a box of Sarah le cart and Milker use,

(26:42):
Kara Mote, or even Kembergrunds. Why are people so gullible
or obsessed with star ratings? Anyway, I've enjoyed tonight. What
is Marty's Facebook page as farming tips en z of
I was doing an Instagram account for farming tips and

(27:05):
I was gonna out the radio to get my follower
count up. I'd get more than one post. It doesn't
look that interesting. Did you listen to it, Dad, I'm
on air. Did you listen to it?

Speaker 9 (27:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I watched on mute too. I mean there was just
a trektor in the wet w wasn't it. People want
to see people doing dances and stuff. That's what they want.
I don't want some tractor when they want knowing, they
want people. He's got fifteen followers now, and now I
feel bad because I feel like we've got to talk
them up. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

(27:34):
Some think the farmers will be on Instagram? Will they?
They'll still be on Facebook?

Speaker 19 (27:45):
Hew?

getting my loto. He was re empty gambling. I told
him not if you win anyway, twenty to nine, head

eighty and nine nine to text troublic Kmart under fire
for dangerous marketplace item. Oh whatever, I understand that. I
think Kmart are now charging for their trolleys in New Zealand.
Did you follow that? That's like talkback kettnip. They've got

(28:29):
a deposit scheme in New Zealand. I meant to mention
earlier in the week. They're charging a bond on trolleys.
Oh we knew that's an old story. Sorry, now they're
looking at other places doing it. I think the warehouse
is not considering a trolley bond. They've trust in customers

(28:51):
to not take off with trolleys. Ah, that's interesting. They've
painted the Kmart customers have been a bit sketchy. I'll
tell you what. Who's Here's who wants to ring up

they got all those coup for so I reckon that's
probably most of you. Ring me up and tell me

Speaker 19 (32:52):

Speaker 18 (32:55):
Kind of power.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Okay, I've got to go turning your line. It's a
great story, but your line is just not good enough.
At the end, but thanks for that call. I'm sorry
about that. It's just too hard to hear. Twelve toweight
evening Christmas, is Marcus welcome?

Speaker 20 (33:10):
Hey Marca's son. Yeah, good to talk to you, mate.
I've been listening to you for a long time. I
haven't lung up before. But I'm talking about this sun
packing carry on in these car packs. And my daughter
used the car and went to Auckland to dress nut

(33:34):
and then she arrived here at eleven o nine am
in the morning and went in there and there was
no signs that she could see. So she went into
the bend On store because he was obviously being a girl,
and asked the lady in there, is there a packing

(33:54):
limit because I've been stung before, And the lady says, no,
no packing limits. You've been shop here as long as
you want. So then they proceeded to her and a
mum to wander around and shop and I've bought stuff
and bought a lot of stuff and left at two

(34:14):
thirty pm in afternoon, and she got a ticket for
eighty five dollars which just arrived at my place today,
sing that she's been twenty working at that time.

Speaker 18 (34:28):
It's twenty there's no.

Speaker 20 (34:30):
Time over, there's no thing was saying that the time
on the ticket or anything.

Speaker 6 (34:36):
Ape She googled.

Speaker 9 (34:39):
Just Mart and it.

Speaker 20 (34:40):
Says that you're allowed to part for three hours, but
the lady in the shop says, no, you can stay
as long as you want, so long as you shopping.
She's got the seats in anything. And it just seems
really really weird that why are these people doing this
when you're shopping in their complex? You know what's going on?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
How long was she there for twenty minutes?

Speaker 20 (35:07):
Over three hours? Apparently because she googled. There's no signs
and there's nothing on this sevens ticket that I liked
at my place today to say that there's nothing here
that is three hours. So I got it too, google it.
She's cleverer than me, and she googled and it's his

(35:30):
parking at Dressmark as three hours, but they were obviously
three hours of eleven oh nine to two thirty.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I can't. Yeah, hang on, there's a sign. There's a
sign that's as you go into it, right, I'm on
Google Earth. There's a sign that as you go into it,
it's his customer parking one, which is three hours. It
says three. It says free parking Faturday eighty minutes. If
you go on Google on Pain's Lane, you can see
it there.

Speaker 20 (36:02):
Okay, but things ridiculous that you're ending. She brought a
lot of stuff. I was actually horrified that she's been
so much funny there.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, to take on there. I just gotta come back
to you, mate. Yeah, Chris, I think you're gonna have
to pay that, right, or she's gonna have to pay
Is that? Is that what you're reckon?

Speaker 24 (36:24):
I reckon?

Speaker 20 (36:25):
But she's just I'm just talking to him, and she
said she's coming off a street called Arthur Street, and
there's no signs on Arthur Street or anywhere. Really, come
in there and there's no signs in the car park
or anything.

Speaker 18 (36:40):
Obviously we've got to pay for it.

Speaker 20 (36:42):
Yeah, but I think it's unfair.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Listen to you guys.

Speaker 20 (36:45):
For the last couple of nights, I go, yeah, bed
listening to you guys.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just.

Speaker 20 (36:55):
Been unbelievable the amount of people getting ripped off for
no absolutely reason. And she's just teaching me again. No,
and there's nothing on Google Matt's either Arthur Street and
there's nothing when you pull into the car park or anything,
and she's got all the receipts. Last night people were

(37:15):
talking and about having the receipts and showing the receipts
and stuff like that, and she's got all the receipts
for the amount of stuff that they bought. And like
then you might go into a cafe or something in there,
or a little bit of a food all and have
something to eat. We're still spending money in that, mad,

(37:36):
you know, I just.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Got I can't really work out. We're in out the
street she's parked because it's some parks across the road
from it. So it's about have me to work out.
But yeah, no, she.

Speaker 20 (37:44):
Drove and she drove into the mall from Arthur Street.
Apparently the car park you can drive in from there
as well.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Okay, understand.

Speaker 20 (37:55):
Yeah, So I just think it's really bad, man. If
you go into a shop, they should let you, like.
And half the problem was was what she said, was
she was any counsels waiting for the There's lots of
people and it takes up a lot of time. You know,
stay living to your moves.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
As you go into the at Arthur's at Arthur's Street,
there's something on the sidewall that says parking one eighty
if you can see that on the on the side
of the tunnel you go into, so that's there as well.
So yeah, it is there. It's not as big as
it could be, but yeah, it just says it on
the side. I can see that clear. What's clearly if
it's not a huge writing. But yeah, hopefully they've saved

(38:38):
enough money on the bend non shop to pay for
that nine oh seven. Good even if a good texts
coming through. I'm going to read some of those, Marcus.
The car park tickets from Dressmake you can send for
a copy of your shopping receipt to prove you as shopping.
They will forfeit the fine. They're just wondering who's using
the car park, as it could be people working nearby
having you at Westfield. And I send the receipts copies,

(38:59):
they cancel the ticket fired. I phone them, actually they
asked me to do so, so they have proof you
are light shop at Legit Shopping and them all I
guess it's away from tomorrow. The only shoppings are parking there. Marcus.
I have to make a two minute short film this week.
It needs to be about a ring. Can be any
sort of ring, a reading ring, an inflatable ring, of
phone ring. I'm stuck. Do your listeners have any ideas?
Thank you love your show, mel Well. It could be

(39:20):
about someone ringing talkback? Could it could be about a
bath ring, a two minute film about a ring. Get
Chet gpt to write it. Listening to you tonight from
low Burn Freedom camping Site near Cromwell. Good show as usual,
Show as usual. Sign here say self contained only and

(39:43):
come pm onwards. It fills up with overseas tourists and
Scoty old l three hundred vans. No self containment tourists
from offshore enjoying us in on a budget. No one
polices self containment. Our country. It's mad. Go off shan
as a tourist, you pay for everything, come to New
Zealand and it's all free. Madness bludges, international bludges. Evening

(40:06):
Marcus just trailing down in Vocag with my boys and
got asked the curious question how many people used to
listen to your talk show? Not sure of the antswer
got any ideas? I think it cums two fifty so
two fifty thousand in a week. Obviously not all at once.
But that's the cue, and I forget the TSL timespitlessen.
It's quite high. You can go on to GPSK or

(40:30):
the people do Radio seven. They've got public website secrecy.
How many people listen to it GSPK or something. How
many tradees secretly watch the block? I know a few
who do, but won't tell their colleagues. I'm sure all
trades watch them. God g look at that g Who
wouldn't do that? I'm sure trade's watched the block. Marcus

(40:53):
had the smeg knives from a few years ago. They
used every day. We've got the casseroleis we love it? Marcus?
When I live in the States, the locals don't buy
the lotter until it gets to a billion. Marcus. In
two minds, bottle of red wine or a lotto ticket,
Please decide for me. I'd get the red wine, Frank,

(41:14):
at least you're getting something tangible. I'll get the red wine.
Should Frank get the red wine or a lotto ticket?
Get the red wine unless it's a relapse anyway. Come on, Well,
I know that was a good hour, that first one,
and what the second? How it's parking and getting locked
up overseas. Anyone been in the brig? I don't think,

(41:38):
in all honesty, i've ever really known what a brigg is.
But now I know it's the president on a ship.
You've been in the brig, I'd love to hear from
you about that. And what about the movie that our
friend has got to make about a ring? Can you
think of a story with a ring in it? A
two minute show from mal or two minute short film?

(41:59):
Love the show from Mal? And if you gotta do
something with a ring, it's kind of hard to think
of that, isn't it. But but if you can't think
of it, maybe you shouldn't be doing it. Maybe you're
in the wrong course. I'd google different sorts of rings.
Might be the idea my wife got to find in
the mail this week for parking in the nape you're
pack and Save. I sent them an email informing them

(42:19):
they wouldn't be back in their store. They've told my
friends about this. Tell your listeners if they get one
of these, tell them to call the store to inform
them you're boycotting this store. They back down and wave
the fine. Oh they've sent me it. They've sent me
the email. That's great. Thank you for that, so they've
sent me this email they've sent them. Good morning, Steve,

(42:43):
thank you for your message regarding your ticket from your
visit on the twenty first of the tenth, twenty five.
Apologies that you've received a ticket from your time shopping
here and visiting the restaurant. As we share the car
park with other businesses, we don't come up with all
the parking rules here. If you could please send me
a photo of your breach notice or provide me both
the breech number and car license plate, I will have

(43:03):
the ticket wave for you immediately. Kind regards, Alex Bryan, Hr,
Manager Pack and Save Napier Hawks Bay. Well that's what
Levin should be doing. Then we could let it go.
Let it go, Yes, getting touched. One name is Marcus.
You want to talk about parking or getting locked in

(43:24):
the brig or male's two minute movie or dress smart?
How many dress smarts are I think there's one in Auckland,
and there's one in christ Church, and there's something in
Wellington near Tower that's similar. I don't think it's called
dressmart I don't know what it's called, but it's dress Marty.

(43:45):
Sounds like an Indian dish. Does it not dress Marty.
It does have like a type of rice, but it's
like dress Smart. But it's not dress Smart. It's dress Marty.
I'll tell you what it's called, ext so I can
google that up. Can do everything tonight. If I'm on
the zone, I can do it all. I was just
that not so long ago, staying at Tawa at the
dress smart type thing stand by. I'll tell you exactly
what it's called. Maybe maybe I've lost it. It's called

(44:11):
I think I can find it. It might be called
outlet City. It's called outlet city. Sounds like it sounds
like a sewer, doesn't an outlet city sounds like a
sewer supply shop. But it's like Dressmark. Not quite as funky,
of course. Now it's all Manawa Bay. Hello, and this
is Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 8 (44:28):
Yeah, seeing from Fort Chalmers. I'd like to make a
comments about the reliability of the news on TV one.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Wow, this would be interesting.

Speaker 8 (44:42):
They had a an exert on tonight about drugs coming
in on shipping, about security around the ports. Yeah, and
they mentioned Auckland Well and Tower and christ Church.

Speaker 25 (45:03):
Ye.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Now last week I think it was there was a
raid honor after a Mersk ship had been into port
to discharge and they found thirty five kgs of heroine

(45:26):
worth twelve and a half million, and there was no
mention made of it in the because they said in
the last three months that questions to me, that questions
the accuracy of the government department through the Custom and
custom and I have.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
So when was that story.

Speaker 8 (45:50):
In the tape of last this week coming the set?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
But was on the Chief We was on the TV
news the mention.

Speaker 8 (45:59):
About drugs and report security on TV one tonight.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Was tonight.

Speaker 8 (46:08):
Yeah, but they made no mention of the They said
that the drugs that have been that they hadn't been
seed that as I say, Auckland, how wrong or I
think it wasn't christ Church and we had a twenty
five that.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
But what what what? What was the actual point of this?
I have to I've got to understand the context of it.

Speaker 8 (46:31):
Well for the point that we've got in the South
Island that New Zealand is a christ Church.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
No, I think that's just your paranoia. I think you'd
have to look at the actual details of the story. Yeah,
but I have to see the wording of the story. Yeah,
I have to see the wording of the story to
see if they because just haven't mentioned you doesn't mean
that you don't exist, but they might have. Yeah, i'd
need to know the actual context of what the story
was about.

Speaker 8 (46:58):
We don't exist down here in Marcus. You want you
go look at themodel of the hospital. They've only got
They've only got the pad on there.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
It's kind of hard to build a hospital because you've
got to keep the old one going. Eh yeah, yeah,
he's old. Has the big cruise ship left? Has left
to night?

Speaker 8 (47:17):
Did it are the uh the anthem of the seas?
It was alock?

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Did you see the guy in the Did you see
the police talking to the guy they got off? No,
kicked one guy off. That was in the news.

Speaker 8 (47:31):
Oh that's happened before.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, I got in a fight, broke a guy's nose.
He's taken away from his family's going home on the plane.

Speaker 8 (47:38):
Was that on the ship?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Yeah, going between going between Fiordland and Port Charmers.

Speaker 8 (47:44):
Yeah, that's heavened before. Yeah, that's nothing unusual.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Are you a Mariner?

port Sider too. I think that's South Southport Meg.

Speaker 8 (48:25):
Yeah, but I used to go down to Chriss's and
we'd topped photos and stuff. And then I also had
contexts up in two contexts up in Littleton and one
in Nelson.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
I saw an interesting ship coming out of bluff yesterday
I haven't seen before. It was small. It was about
the same size as the end of tokey. Has it
got the ring of Tata?

Speaker 19 (48:48):
What is that.

Speaker 8 (48:51):
The ringy Tata?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Yeah? Is it a diesel ship? But it was as
a fuel It was small.

Speaker 8 (48:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Do you know what, I've never seen it before.

Speaker 8 (48:59):
No, they can't help you on that because okay.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
I'll look at it. I'll google it up here and
I don't worry, thank you. But anyway, Wayne Mary is welcome, Wayne,
Wayne in wonder Dear Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (49:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (49:14):
I was just going to give people an idea what
would have happened if if it had terminated in the
last three draws. Oh well, on Wednesday, Wednesday the fifth
and November, eighty eight people would have shared the top prize.
If it had terminated on Saturday, the eighth of November,
two people would have shared the top prize. And in

(49:34):
the last or Wednesday, the twelfth of November, ninety nine
people would have shared the top prize. So I wouldn't
get too excited. I mean, nearly one hundred people would
have If it had a terminated last Wednesday, ninety nine
would have shared.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
The fifty five Oh I see, okay, could you sound
like you're better with numbers than a lot of the listeners.
What do you have to do win powerball?

Speaker 26 (49:59):
The wind powerball? You've got to get six numbers and
the correct powerball.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Number, and there's ten of those numbers, right, yeah, So
if it's not if it's not gotten on Saturday, then
what do they do?

Speaker 26 (50:14):
Well, I mean, this Saturday, it has to be gotten
because it's true.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yeah, but on the Saturday, right if no one gets
it from six numbers, somebody.

Speaker 26 (50:22):
Gets the six numbers and the powerball goes down to
the next division, and then it goes down to the
next division.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Sorry, I'm going to ask them more specifically about this.
So to win it, normally you need to get six numbers,
the six lotter numbers and the number from one to
ten on powerball. So if there's no if there's no
winners for that, it's just anyone that's got the six numbers.
Is that correct?

Speaker 18 (50:43):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 26 (50:45):
If you only get the six numbers, you only get
a share of the ordinary million dollar lotto. But to
get the powerball one, it's a separate draw. It's a
lot of empowerball. And so it goes down to the
second division. And like on Wednesday, nobody had the second division,
but ninety nine people we had the third division. So

(51:07):
they're the ones who share it because they had the
right powerball.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Oh okay, so okay. So if it's not got gotten,
they go to the person that's got five balls.

Speaker 26 (51:19):
And the power number goes down to the it goes
to the second division.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I don't play. I don't play, waynes, I don't know
what second division means.

Speaker 26 (51:25):
Well, second division means you get five numbers. It's the
bonus ball plus the powerball. Yeah, but nobody got that
on Wednesday. So then it goes down to the next division,
to the third division, and ninety nine people would have
shared it if it was struck on. It exterminated on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
So second division is five numbers and the what's the.

Speaker 26 (51:46):
Bonus bonus bonus ball plus the power ball?

Speaker 2 (51:49):
What's the bonus ball?

Speaker 26 (51:51):
Bonus ball is for every drawer and just Lotto, you've
got to get six numbers plus the you've got to
get six numbers plus they always have a bonus ball.
The bonus ball doesn't really count. It only counts if
you get five numbers in the bonus ball and it's

(52:12):
always seven numbers draw it out every week.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
And five numbers and the bonus ball. A second division?
Is that right?

Speaker 26 (52:18):
For powerball or even for Lotto. If you get five
numbers in the bonus bar that second division, then you
get the second second price.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Okay, so okay, so okay, that's interesting. So to get
if it's not that complicated, it's just if you if
you haven't played lotto way and it's complicated. Because I
don't know why they just wouldn't go down to the
shared amongst the people that just got six balls, that
would be the more correct way to do it.

Speaker 26 (52:46):
Well, like just for the six people on last Wednesday,
six people actually got the correct six balls, and so
they got one hundred and sixty six thousand dollars each.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 26 (52:59):
And the draw before that six people won six power
so just six correct numbers.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
To clarify, if no one gets the fifty five million
on Saturday, then they will shared amongst the people that
get five numbers plus the bonus ball plus the powerball.

Speaker 26 (53:16):
Yeah, and if nobody gets set, if nobody.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Gets it'll be full balls, full balls plus. Okay, thank you,
Jay twenty past eight nine, Believing Leo, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
Rush that Merson complained about people over parting and patents
to park. I go along with patent on that because
right and Paris and Norse, here we only have one patenta,
and the paton there is arenda the people coming and

(53:54):
going trying to get sentually out of there and trying
to get them get the gros. I believe that Peter's
home with me right because they can back and say
they're more the PM wander around.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Leon know, no one's got a problem with them giving
those people tickets. That's fair, that's reasonable. What they have
a problem with is people giving tickets like in the
Living Peck and save when people spend more than an
hour doing a doing a fortnightly shop for five for
five hundred dollars and it takes an hour and five
minutes and then they find.

Speaker 6 (54:31):
Yeah, I agree what we do mean it's another pack?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Okay, play player cards, right, you've won a lot of
you can make open it. Double your money in a week.
Grant it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (54:44):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus on a Bostone caller from
You're welcome. I'm sixty four, so it's been a while.
I listen every night. But what I was worrying about
was international posters like step time of year, were your
singing parcels overseas to family for Christmas or not? Most

(55:06):
have probably learnt the hard way and don't actually send anymore.
But just as an example, my wife bought a small
pair of silk slippers so they have a soul and
they're very silky for our granddaughter they're very light, and
also a scarf, and sent a cake of chocolate to Canada.

(55:30):
It cost one hundred and thirty dollars.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Wow, that's a lot, isn't it. I wish I wish
you'd what normally people would say right for talkback callers,
I'd say, my wife's sent a pair of silk slippers
with a soul a scarf and a box of chocolate.
Guess how much it was. That's the joy. Yeah, Yeah,

(55:54):
you've given, you've given away, You've got there. Because I
would have said seventy, No, I would have said, I
would have said twenty eight.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Well, last year we seen a gift and it costs
eighty and we're not sending one this year. We only
have one granddaughter in Canada, and we did, of course
because we crumbled and thought we would. Because it also
now it's I mean, fifty years ago, May was much quicker.
You'd send a letter to be there the next day,

(56:23):
but now it takes six to eight weeks. Last year
we left a couple.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
That's is it by but is it by ship or
by by plane?

Speaker 5 (56:32):
That standard post It takes six to eight weeks to
get there. Last year we posted at the beginning of
November and it never made Christmas. They got it in January,
so it's not even fast. It's but if you get
you get.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
If you get books and things from overseas, they're quite reasonable,
aren't they.

Speaker 26 (56:51):
I'm not sure?

Speaker 5 (56:52):
But it takes it's sent apparently it's sent on Mary Walker.
I think it, Yeah, so long to get to Canada,
and I just can't believe it. I mean, you know,
but the postage is so expensive. I presume they don't
want us to do it anymore, you know, they're trying to.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Face it seems to be it, doesn't it.

Speaker 5 (57:12):
I mean, you'd have to be pretty silly. My wife
and I are on a benefit we don't even know
in our own home. So a one hundred and thirty
with a lot of money, I said, we would have
been better off just to send, you know, to send
money into their bank account, wouldn't we The gifts of
seventy and the postage was one thirty, so there's two

(57:33):
hundred dollars, which probably would have been a better.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
IDEA good call, But no, that we're.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
Probably we're probably one of the few silly ones that
still post stuff overseas. Most other people probably wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
So, yeah, we appreciate that grant.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Well, there's a lot, isn't it. Wow, talk about this
comes through eight hundred and eighty to eighty and nine
to nine to text. You've got to talk till twelve.
It's the time for the overseas, posting two people but
get in touch Hittle twelve in every lively kind of
a show tonight, Stuart Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (58:13):
Good, good evening, Marcus. I send two packets of pineapple
lumps to my granddaughter at Cape Cod by New Zealand.
Post forty three dollars for ten dollars worth of pineapple lumps.

Speaker 14 (58:27):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Did she did she? Did she write? Did she thank you?

Speaker 6 (58:34):
Yeah? She thanks me by my text? What did it
not take? It's that other thing WhatsApp Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
That's the thing is that when you're when you're a sive,
when your kids receive presents from your grandparents, then it's
a bagger to get them to thank them because kids
don't want to do that. Do they so pleased about that?

Speaker 6 (58:53):
Yeah? It takes It took two weeks. It takes two
weeks from time at Leaves Paris to Orthord against the
Cape Cod two weeks and forty three dollars.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Did she had she had them before?

Speaker 6 (59:07):
Yeah, I've sent them before. The I like a lumpch
in America at the old Camp America where she worked.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Of course. Oh so she's yes, she's out there doing
Camp America.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
Is she yeah, yes, she's She's done twice, and I've
sent twice. It's been the same price. Forty dollars cheap.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Is nice to hear from its Stewart. Thank you. Apparently
it's dress smart. I've always called it dress smart. It's
dress smart. Next thing you'll be telling me it's daylight saving,
not daylight savings. But anyway, Oh wait one hundred and eighty.
By the way, thanks for that about having a Tata.
The ship ringing Tata is the big brother of the

(59:51):
end of Toky another buller. Thank you for that. Good evening, Tom,
It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (59:58):
Oh hi, Micaush, I won't keep you so I just
don't unlotto. I remember reading one time the main comment
or a financial person made a comment saying that for
people who buy a lotter regally instead of buying lotto,
the best thing they can do with that money is
to put it increase their contribution to Kiy Saber.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 25 (01:00:23):
Yeah, they say that's the most sensible thing to do
if they want returns, that's the most senseble thing they
can do.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Great advice, Tom, or buy bitcoin there are I don't
necessarily agree with that statis SISTI that said, there's no
way to increase your chances. I think from any of
the reading I have done about lotto, are there forty balls? Dan?
I believe you have a much better chance of winning

(01:00:56):
if you choose your numbers randomly, because a lot of
people choose their numbers to do with their kids' birthdays,
and which means their numbers are restricted to zero to
thirty one. So if you go zero, if you go
your numbers randomly between zero to forty, then should you win,

(01:01:19):
you're less likely to share it with others. So yeah,
I do believe there's science to back that it was
just basic statistics. But twenty six to ten, twenty four
to ten, if you want to be a part of it,
Marcus till twelve. I'm looking forward to what you've got
to say. Nine two nine to de text Marcus. Just
through Balk Kluthlan think there would be great to have
an extra button edit the payment terminal when you buy

(01:01:40):
your groceries or pay so your savings from the groceries
could be transferred to your key we saver account. That
is a great idea. So you're saying it's you got
your savings from using your card, your one card and
that goes straight to Kei we Saver. That is probably
one of the best ideas I've heard in all my
years of talkback. It's a great idea. What's the downside
of that? I'm liking it talking groceries. Lately, went shopping

(01:02:04):
when I'm sure I paid four and today can't find it.
Troublers have not got the docket with the amount paid,
but not individual items. Marcus. I told my boss today
I wouldn't be at work on Monday because I have
the winning lot of tickets. She gasped because she realized
because she relies on me turning up for work every day.

(01:02:24):
Was a good laugh, which she realized I was joking. Dave.
It's at the same day that left his wife Marcus
advice on Kiwi Savor. If you're under forty aged, do
you really think it's still going to be there in
twenty five years? You must have rocks in your head.
I hadn't thought about that. What do you think's going
to happen to it? What's going to happen to the money?
Previous to hear theory about that, That's nothing I've thought of.

(01:02:46):
Pretty suspicious. Welcome to the show. If you want to
be a part of the numbers eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty get in touch here till twelve oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two detect.
It's loose like a gooster tonot and I am loving it,
loving it. Let's be hearing from you if you want
to contribute people. Of course, he was an aussy that

(01:03:08):
was kicked off the cruise ship at Port Charmers, Anthem
of the Seas, four thousand people on it. Forty four
had to leave his family. I don't know who police.
I don't know if there's who are the police or
the law enforcement on Anthem of the Seas. It's a
terrible looking ship. It just looks like a giant. Yeah,
well it looks like it looks like what it looks like,

(01:03:30):
but doesn't look ship like twenty to ten. If you
got to be a part of it, Marcus till midnight,
I'll check on the news around the world to keep
you posted on that. People. Yes, be in touch if
you want to, yep, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty
just I think if there's any other news I can

(01:03:52):
tell you about, and then we have a quick look
around the world to see what is happening for you,
deedd I think they're just having the budget in the
UK and the pound has been hit much but it
has dropped some tenth of percent. But the Daily Foil
is making a big song and dance about it.

Speaker 14 (01:04:13):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
I'm telling there's anything else I need to tell you
about again? Touch if you want to hitdle twelve o'clock tonight,
you want to be a part of it. Eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. There's a lot of fake chocolate
out there. Not something I've known about. Did he let
me think of anything else I can tell you about?

(01:04:34):
Christianardo Cristiano Ronaldo set for a World Cup ban Portugal
star sees read for violent elbow on the Irish opponent.
And not only did he give the Irish guy an elbow,
then he did did the ah, he did the crying
things with his hands and we sort of do it,

(01:04:55):
did the crying thing, and then he got a red
card and then all the people in the crowd died.
The red did the crying thing to him as he
walked off. It's quite a good video, but the video
actually it's worth watching. This is just breaking news. So yes,
I think the Pharaoh Islands look like they might qualify
for the World Cup, which I was quite excited about.
It's tiny, isn't it. What are we many people living there?

(01:05:19):
We've been kind of interested in the Pharaoh Islands. Not
interesting enough to go there, but it's always been I've
always enjoyed talking to Pharaoh Islanders. We might have someone
here that's been to the Pharaoh Island. It's big tunnels
like between the islands. Looks like it's all quite limestoney anyway,
back after the break, Oh has the annual list of

(01:05:51):
the most popular versa is the most unpopular professions? And
you're going to be released it. I don't know, Marcus.
We should change the key we save esteem to a
model like Ossie compulsory government backed. Thank you, thank you
for that, Oh Marcus. Have you heard the saying look

(01:06:14):
at the sky. If there is enough blue sky to
make a pair of Sala's pants, it's going to be clear.
I don't know what that is, but thank you. Anyway,
I need your calls tonight too, if you want to
talk sixteen away from ten, if you want to be
a part of it, Hittle twelve we had a good night.
It's got a bit quiet now, said, we give a
bit of a tick along. I just check some of
the other newspapers too. I feel there's something going to

(01:06:36):
happen to night. I'm just not quite sure what. Always
looking forward to breaking news. I don't know where that's
going to happen. I did, I did. I was excited
that the government is going to give two million dollars
to the project in Otago Dunedin to turn the bikeway

(01:07:07):
between Mosgule and Dunedin, to open up two of the
old rail tunnels for that. So that was quite good.
So there we go. There's that. That's quite exciting. So
I've been reading about that today so I forget what
the tunnels are called, but they're there and they're going
to open them for it's gonna be quite a good bikeway,

(01:07:32):
look like the beautiful tunnels. So anyway, that's happening. And
I don't know. I just clicked on that article. It's
just disappeared from me. But yeah, I'm quite excited about that.
They might have been the ODT that they're saying that. Yeah,
the Dunedin's called the Dunedin Tunnels Trail Project shown they

(01:08:02):
can't use them for trains, but that would be the
ultimate thing. It follows the near completion of the initial
stage from Wingertie through the Chain Hills Tunnel, which is
one point five to five k's was funded by the
Need City Council. The trails are set to span the
fifteen kilometers between Dunedin and Moscule, linking the centers through

(01:08:23):
two historic railway tunnels, the Chain Hills Tunnel and the
Kevisham Tunnel. Then of course I linked to the Central
Otago Central Rail Trail, cloth the Gold Trail Lake Duncon,
but they're a long way away and they're quite remote
from those. I don't think people are going to people
are gonna do the rail trail and use those tunnels
as well because it's a big loop. But that's exciting.

(01:08:45):
So the two tunnels will be open and see it's
sort of on Google Maps where they go. I think they.
I don't fully know why the tunnels were closed. I
think in the end they double tracked it and there
was a different tunnel, or maybe there wasn't. Actually they

(01:09:05):
just made a longer time track that we went in
a more securitous right way. I think is probably the
way it happened. Oh no, it does come out a burnside,
doesn't it. Yeah, they've built a bigger tunnel I think,
but you might have some more information about that. But
that's the thing. So they be sort of a covered
between two tunnels between Moscole and Dunedin. So that's good fun.

(01:09:27):
That's happening anyway, twelve away from ten. If you want
to be a part of it, we're stilling suggestions for
her Ring movie. Thanks for those of sent and already
I will never sign up to key we save it
as it's not government backed or guaranteed. There's nothing stopping
it from getting used by the government. I'm sure there'd

(01:09:47):
be laws around that. I'll check up from that. Anyway,
let's be hearing from you back soon. It's ten away
from ten people. I'll be here till midnight. Jim Steedden
will be along at twelve. So far tonight we've talked
about parking again, and we've talked about Loto again, and
we've talked about going to the brig getting locked up
on a cruise for the first time, these other topics,

(01:10:10):
and they're not entirely sure what they've all been. I
can look at the odd texts they'll remind me and
dress Smart? Who knew it was dress Smart? I alway
thought it was dress Smart. And the price of sending
presents overseas one hundred and how much was it? Was it?

Speaker 14 (01:10:30):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
One hundred and thirty dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Was it not?

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
One hundred and eighty? All the Christmas cards I sent
to Canada last year in November never were received until
March this year. The mail delivery were on striking canter
over Christmas. So very expensive overseas. I guess it's the
price of traveling things. A lot of suggestions for Mel's movie.

(01:10:53):
A boxing ring or a drug ring, or a ring
story from a farming background, a ring in a pig's
nose or ring on a lamb's tail. Marx Is I
got locked up at the Tower of London for a
few hours for photographing the Crown jewels, marched by the
bee feeders to see the chief Befeeder put me in
a cell while they deleted the film and gave me

(01:11:13):
a serious talking to. My smear kitchen knife's blade stepped
off at the handle. It was wonderful when it lasted.
Marcus love you show some ideas for mal Ringworm, story
Boxinging NRL Ring Ringworm and most people said to be

(01:11:34):
getting off parking tickets by sending and contracting the person,
which is an option for you. I'd like a call
before the news or maybe two so jumping if you
want to talk. I've sort of recapped the topics for you.
A lot of emails about people challenging their parking ticket Evening.

(01:11:56):
This is from Cindy Evening. I wonder if you or
any of your listeners could help with the above situation.
Next year's the below situation Being confined at home with
a broken ankle for many weeks now, I've ordered from
uber eats a couple of times. Whoever, my latest order
yesterday resulted in unwanted and authorized charge on my account
overnight from a company called Portier, New Zealand and christ

(01:12:18):
Training as Uber one as I discovered with a delivery
subscription claiming to give you discounts on contacting my bank.
They tell me to contact the company directly. However, what
you're supposed to do when a company check reveals no
phone number and no email address. They are registered to
an address in more House Avenue, christ Church. Has this
happened to anyone else looks like I will have to

(01:12:38):
write it best, which is refrustrating. Thanks Cindy. So the
company was called Portier, New Zealand. My latest order yesterday
resulted in unwanted and unauthorized charge on my bank account
overnight from a company called Portia end Z, which is
delivery training as Uber one as I discovered, which is

(01:12:59):
a delivery subscription claiming to give you discounts. Sounds highly
illegal to me, but they do before you. I've not
something that ever used. Uber Eats don't just arrived in
in ver Cargol. I don't know if it's got or
a bad thing. No comment. I don't love it though.

(01:13:26):
This is Marcus Bob. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
Hi Rong, Hi Margus.

Speaker 14 (01:13:34):
Yeah, I've been trying to get some reception.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
I'm in my truck.

Speaker 14 (01:13:38):
I did a trailer swat from being down the cocoa.
I'm back again. So all the Christmas parcels on the
t move stuff. There's loads and loads of freight moving now.
The volumes have gone up a lot so and I'm
not sure why the passa the post is so bad

(01:13:59):
because the museual on post contract is they've got a
flash fleet of trucks and I've got billions of parcels moving.

Speaker 27 (01:14:07):
It must just be the letter sort.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Yeah, I've always found the career system in the parcel
system now to be extremely efficient.

Speaker 14 (01:14:16):
Well look, I'm just a work experienced pension and so
what do I know. But I run up and down
between Victim and christ a few days a week, and boy,
there's miles of miles of stuff moving now, all the
rubbishit by on timur or shit or spree s or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
All that. All that those Halloween costumes that are only
worn once. That's always bad, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:14:45):
Oh, it's an environmental nightmare.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Yeah, Halloween, Halloween the worst to be gone.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
It's shocking for them for all that tan that just
throwing away. Anyway, never mind.

Speaker 14 (01:14:57):
I was my wife and I were lying in our
hotel room and valley two or three years ago and
the phone go early in the morning and it's our
sun and he goes, oh, I'm in Mexico City. I
went down to look after my friend's cat for a
week from La and I've come back and they locked

(01:15:17):
me up and the detention center at Lax and then
deported me back to Mexico City because I didn't have
any money and no forward address and no visa.

Speaker 13 (01:15:29):
Wow, And I said, well, of course he did, So
what do I do now?

Speaker 14 (01:15:36):
And I said, well, you've been to South America before.
I guess you better breakfast his Spanish and think about
how you're going to earn your way out?

Speaker 11 (01:15:46):
Wow?

Speaker 19 (01:15:47):
What did he do?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Did you seen them? Did you send the money?

Speaker 14 (01:15:50):
I ended up after I paid for a backpacker for him,
and then he stayed with his at a sprint's house
when a spring came back and then moved and there
was no space for him. So he did a few
sort of little jobs and then and then he I

(01:16:11):
funded him a ticket through to London, where he got
a job.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
Did he have Do he have a flat?

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
At?

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Everything?

Speaker 10 (01:16:17):
In La?

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Was he set up?

Speaker 19 (01:16:18):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Was he just traveling.

Speaker 14 (01:16:22):
And the glorious former Socialist Republic? He took the five
brand to go and pick the fruit, and so as
soon as he got the checks for five brands and
was bent, he bought a ticket to LA and went
to work for one of the music moguls over there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
It's a good story, Rob. I've got to go for news,
but you have a good safe drive back home anyway.
And nice to talk to back after the news people
eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Well, the dress smart dress
smart controversy has started, Marcus. I'm agreeing with your regards
to dress smart or dress smart. I think they have
changed their marketing angle when the radio heads and people
have hornby spoke with the other. When it first opened,

(01:17:04):
it was definitely dress even on the signage. Got chatting tonight,
Move Collins from McLean's Island. He's always that it was
dress smart. I've never heard it as dress smart. People
want to people want to sweep o on the rape.
I'll never know this too boring sweepstakes. It was all right,
we did it for butter, but still we ever get

(01:17:28):
it our thanks? Yeah, I think it was dress smart.
It's often written as dress smart if you google it.
Maybe that's just wrong anyway. So that's it. That's the situation.
Do get in touch, you want to talk. We have
talked tonight about getting locked up overseas. I'm interested in that.

(01:17:49):
If you ended up in the brig. These other stuff
we're talking about, I can't remember all of it. Parking's
the every present topic. But get in touch if there's
anything else you want to ramble on about tonight. I've
enjoyed all of it. I don't quite know why. Here's something.
Here's a question, just while I have with the talking

(01:18:09):
stick because I can't remember, could someone tell me why
they stopped using those two tunnels in Dunedin there is

(01:18:30):
the Chains Tunnel and the Cavisham Tunnel where they just
barely built or they changed the route, or why do
they build those put tunnels then build another tunnel. I
don't understand the reason for that. If anyone knows that,
let me know about that. That's just a question for you.

(01:18:54):
But anything else you want to talk about, that's the
challenge for tonight. And you're talking this week about three
D printers? Actually why are they no longer used? I'll
google that myself. We'll wait for you. Have there any
Aurora tonight too? Come through about that if you've got anything.

Speaker 11 (01:19:20):
D do?

Speaker 18 (01:19:21):
D do?

Speaker 11 (01:19:21):
Do?

Speaker 26 (01:19:21):
Do do?

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
There's tunnels frequently ask questions And I'm looking at that
now as I talk to you. Why did the train
stop running through?

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Was you tracking? Like I thought? That's the situation. So yes, anyway,
there's gonna be a bikeway between Moscule and it's gonna
there's good bikeways and in dneed now because you get
right through from Portobello right round to Port Charmers and
then out to Moscule as well. Then start the whole
thing with a central rail trail. That's great. But yes,

(01:20:01):
let's come on people, let me here. You have some
interesting tales from the week, no doubt, come through. Let's
be hearing from you if you've got anything of interest
to say tonight. I did see on a Facebook post
in the last hours are scrolling that there are a
couple of rescue helicopters heading to the Cuddy Cuddy Pinca

(01:20:21):
in the North. I don't know if anyone saw that
on Facebook. I don't know what that's about. But we've
got the information about that. That's of interest to me
as far as keeping up to that with what's going on.
So yeah, you might know about that. I don't have
any information to hand. There might be flight logs of
those ones also, but yes, I have got the information
just now. But there are two rescue helicopters, but I

(01:20:44):
can't find the post now. It would like to just
go through and something comes up. I'll see if a
quick look at that. No, I can't find anything currently,
But there we go, so to eleven past ten and
I'm here for you tonight people. So if there's something
else from the week that you want to talk about,

(01:21:04):
or anything else, do you have you get your dial on?
Is we get ready for Christmas? So it says Marcus,
I know this might be a boring subject. Does he
even have a quick recipe for easy LASAGNYA? Well, Lasagni's
quite complicated, the whole Bischamel source, don't you. Every time

(01:21:26):
I've made a lasagna, I've always been slightly surprised how
much if it it is? And can anyone help out
that woman with Uber? There's a lot of texts I
haven't seen now, Marcus real text to with unauthorized Uber payment.
If there is no specific mention of Uber in the charge,

(01:21:49):
tell her to contact her bank ASP tell her that
she did not authorize the charge, and ask them to
cancel it. Uber one is just the Uber subscription service
where you sign for a monthly fee and get HEAVI
your discounts and better promos. The regular Uber app is
constantly prompting you to sign up for it. I'm guessing
when I need to take a button press or two
to sign up for it, since you already have your

(01:22:11):
debit card details, et cetera. I think the other tecto
has got a bit confused, understandable since these modern sellups
can be a bit deceptive. Thanks for that. I suppose
you have covered it. But why was news talk off
ere for so long? I had no idea it was
off Someone said, food in a minute is the best lasagnia.

(01:22:35):
Good evening, Marcus Lovely, this is your show. Just heading
home after my Christmas book club girls night. I have
a very easy LASAGNI you has to be cook in
the crop pot. Everything is uncooked, layer up, turn it
on easy peas, and it's absolutely scrumptious, which I was
pretty straightforward. Everything is uncooked, layer up, whatever that means.

(01:22:57):
I noticedly think that lasagna is a boring subject. I'm
thinking actually about making lasagna after hearing about that. But
thirteen past ten, I think we need to. I think
we need one of those startup calls tonight to get
the third hour going and do jump in if there's
anything else. Oh, if you're seeing anything interesting in your

(01:23:18):
nighttime driving, let me know what's going on. It feels
like shooting star weather or something like that. But yes,
be in touch if you wanted to get the whole
ball rolling. Someone said they didn't think there was very
many good deals for Black Friday. I don't think it's
Black Friday yet. I think Black Friday is probably two
fridays away. It's the last Friday before Thanksgiving, I think so, yes,

(01:23:41):
before the Christmas crazy season starts. So you be in touch.
We're also talking the price of postage overseas. It's a
four wheel drive. A four wheel bike has rolled in
Kenny Kenny Peninsula. That's what's happened there. So I've got
a story about that too, So thanks for the person
emailed that through. Just read that to you. What's happened

(01:24:06):
up there? Yeah, there was a foil driver foil drive motorbike,
a foil drive. Yeah, this is a foil drive fouriel
drive vehicle has rolled on Tokono Beach in the Far North.
One person critical injuries too. Choppers have been up for that. Hey, Jamie,
it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
I guess how are you going tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Good Jamie? How are you going?

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
Yeah, not too bad. I just went up to the
bow and went up to a mine in the bow
and basin just out on the back of Makai there
and delivered some gypsum. Anyway, those coal trains, I've seen
them before, but yeah, man, there's so many of them.
I mean, so I checked GPT that I was wondering
what you knew about them because they reckon they tower

(01:24:44):
one hundred and thirty wagons were three or four locos, and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
I think they chopper and replacement drivers. I think there
might be more than one driver on the train, Is
that right?

Speaker 11 (01:24:59):
They might.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
They might need another driver halfway.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
Down because I I was guessing they would go to
the like the Gladston Port or maybe somewhere rocky at
the port. But yeah, they were. I was just sat
set for about three or four minutes today. Well one
went past at a level crossing. I was like, man,
these are masses and.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
They are where were they heading for?

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
I had to wait for two. I waited for one
that was heading into the to the bar and basin
or the coal mines, and then I then I was
just about I thought, the boom's not going up, and
I looked and there was another one loaded that was
coming the other way and that was going a lot slower.
So that took a lot longer. Yeah, I would have
been there for about five minutes I reckon waiting for
these two trains to go past.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
What was the town you said it was nearby?

Speaker 3 (01:25:53):
It was there where I was out near Middle Mountain.
We went to I don't know how to say it,
Maruin Bar. There is a town. Yeah, I went to
u a mine just out there, like ten minutes out
of my room.

Speaker 11 (01:26:11):
Bar.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
Yeah, yeah, sort of Dingo. You got through Dingo?

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
And then how far? How far land is it?

Speaker 10 (01:26:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
I can see it now on the map.

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Sorry, I'm just sure the others have a funny way
of saying that town, but I've never quite understood how
my mate say it. But yeah, it's so.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Your your job is delivering stuff to the coal mines
supplies is that right? Or what they need? Mechanical stuff
and things?

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
Yeah, I just had a load of gypsum that had
come from Perth on a road train. And then yeah,
the boss has asked me to take a single trailer
up there and deliver it. Now I'm coming back empty.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
Is a job being good?

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
Yeah it's yeah, second week real good. Actually, you can't
complain now. The money is pretty good. Boss is good.
Just give you your job. And you go and do it.
It's different to what I've ever done because I've never
set foot in a mind before. So yeah, that was interesting.
You've got to get escorted on site and then es
caught it off. There's a bit of a bit of

(01:27:16):
mucking around to that, but no, it's good.

Speaker 5 (01:27:17):
It's good fun.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
It's all sealed roads.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Yeah, yeah, a'll see roads and then you just go on,
like the hall road. I just go to the warehouse,
so it's just like just going and then yeah, guy
who escorts in and tells you where to stand and
he laughed my first time. He unstrapped on my load
and opened the curtains up for me, told me not
to touch it either stand there. But today I did
it all.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
How many many? How many different minds? Do you know
how many different minds you'll be going to?

Speaker 26 (01:27:47):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
Yeah, I think we'll be going to a lot. I've
done three, three different lines so far to the one
of that today was underground, and yeah, the one of
it the other day was underground as well, both in
the same same area. There's heads and lines up there.
I'm surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
And you're getting to really remote stuff. Are you going
with roads where you hardly see any traffic. Is it
like that? Was it still quite busy.

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
It's still quite busy. They're in the middle of know,
but it's quite busy because I think a lot of
those ones up around mcar those minds. I think they're
all drive and drive out so when shift change the roads. Yeah,
I'm pretty busy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
So people don't live nearby, do they? They're not. There's
townships and things, are they?

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
Yeah, there is some townships. Ye're like lady I was
talking to today, she didn't live that was unloading me.
She didn't live on camps. She lived in that more
More bar town. Yeah, yes, she lived there, so she
just drove to work twenty minutes to day.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
You should go and become a train driver. That's a
huge professional. There's huge money in it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
I was thinking of that, but man I had to
do were not that treeescape. I had to do all
this training to do Keiwi railers to cut the trees
and that was And there's a lot.

Speaker 11 (01:28:58):
There's a lot to.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Train driving, isn't there. No one would realize. But it's
not just get your MC license and off you goes
years of training.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
Is I'll see if I can find someone that knows
more about how those trains. We've probably got some drivers
listening that have probably been I did have a guy
that was listening a while back, so I'll see if
I can drum someone up about if I can find
a bit more about it, Jamie. So keep listening. But
I appreciate you coming through, Marcus. If way idea with
it on Facebook marketplace has become full of scamsteating photos
advertised rediculous prices still going to be true. Decided to

(01:29:29):
return to trade me for safe for buying Davo. Marcus
went to Wallworth Supermarket they had to purchase Marjorie and
Yoga noticed there was only about twenty blocks of butter
for sale. There's no one buying button nowadays, or maybe
a lot of people are Wendy, it's Marcus. Hello.

Speaker 23 (01:29:48):
Oh hi Marcus. Because apparently my line wasn't the rang in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
It's really good now. So whatever you've done, well done.

Speaker 23 (01:29:57):

was just ringing to tell you about a postage that
I made to my mo when we went into lockdown.

Speaker 20 (01:30:11):

Speaker 23 (01:30:14):
She's passed the basis, but she anybody that was in
the well later years had to be locked down for
a very long time in the UK and they weren't outside.

(01:38:15):
deeply moved by his visit to Outswrich baker Ow, where
he gathered in remembrance of those who were maided during
the holocausts Colocaust and head to the testimony of survivors.
In his speech at the during Jewish Community Center in Kakov,
his Majesty encourages all remember that as the number of

(01:38:37):
Holocaust survivors who regetrily diminishes with a passage of time,
the responsibility of remembrance rests far heavier on our shoulders,
on those generations yet unborn. The act of remembering the
evils of the last remains a vital task, and in
so doing we inform our present and shape our future.

Thank you once again for the taking the trouble to
write to the King, who would have me send you
his very warm good wishes.

I don't know if that's going to take any takers
on that one, or a name that was impossible to pronounce? Yes,

(01:41:41):
let me know about that. Yeah, of course you always
change your name, but probably not as a child, or
you probably can, it's probably hard to give it your pearance.
So yes, did your name affect how you are? Believe
you're a wacko doodle name like PEXI or Tiger Lily
or Riot right, it's quite a good name or rumble honey, yeah?

(01:42:09):
Or Equaman someone's given birth to an Equaman. YouTube Attricia
Petis gave birth to Equaman, joining our other children Malibu,
Barbie and Elvis. So if you've got any comedy about that,
we can add that to the other topics that we
are on about tonight. That would be good for me.
So yeah, how'd your odd name work out for you?
Or you might have given your kids odd names too.

(01:42:32):
For those who confuse about Black Fridays, joined the queue,
I've already been cognizant. There's heaps of heads on the
TV for Black Friday. I think it's two weeks away.
It's just the big sale before Christmas. I think that's
what it is. I don't quite know how it works,
why it works. It's not something ever understood or studied,
but yeah, it's on its way and there will be
cheap stuff what I don't even know. I'm not entirely sure,

(01:42:54):
but it's coming up. It's not my thing. Hey, just
on the way of that talk about posting that guy.
That's just I ordered something online the other day, ordered
on Monday morning, arrive by Tuesday morning. And look when
you're in Bluff and you order stuff, I'm sure it's
pretty much always coming from the North Island. But twenty

(01:43:14):
four hours is pretty good. I think the courier services
have got at the moment of fantastic and seven eight
years ago everyone was always complaining about couriers and how
they are, but now it seems to have got a
real you know, they're dropping stuff off, you're not having
to have sign and delivery. It's just to all become
a a lot less theffing around, which I quite like.

(01:43:35):
So that might be something you can mention also tonight.
But as I say, all the lines are free sixteen
to twelve eleven and with you to twelve. But I'd
like to hear from you tonight. Two people did freefall
did very well with the cause the first cover. I's
just dropped off a bit now, So I am asking
for you to come through showing a bit like a
teacher there to come through well, try and find interesting
stories for you without much luck. But if you want

(01:43:59):
to talk, that's what are about tonight. Don't think we
have much like getting rid of those hornets. That seems bad,
doesn't it. So that might be something you want to
say or talk about. But yeah, get in touch, you
want to be a part of it. Eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nine to nine tow to text

(01:44:19):
pny of stuff about the Epston files. There's heaps of
letters coming out about that. You might want to mention
that also, But yeah, get in touch. You want to
be on air, anything else you want to talk about.
I can handle that. So eight hundred eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine to text if you want to
be a part of it, if you put my headphones on,
We've got some good talkers there anyway. Yeah, Paul, it's Marcus.

(01:44:42):
Good evening, welcome, Hi Paul.

Speaker 14 (01:44:46):
Yeah, well time see yeah, he saying with you, Paul.

Speaker 4 (01:44:50):
Yeah, the interesting things happening around the place. You were
talking the other day. I was going to ring it
the other day and you were talking about Bluff salmon,
which comes from uh Glory Bay. I think yeah, yeah,
Well up here at the far North, which is up
to goat tracks made Highway one, the Bluff salmon is

(01:45:14):
now hitting about six dollars.

Speaker 13 (01:45:21):
Okay, pretty expensive when you're trying to run a.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
Restaurant, are you.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Are you in a restaurant now?

Speaker 27 (01:45:31):
I run I own?

Speaker 11 (01:45:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
Okay, because funny you should mention that we're not funny,
you should mention that. But but I there was a
news story through two days ago and I just can't
find it currently that I think Telly's are laying off.
A whole lot of work is in Bluff for that
salmon factory and sending the jobs to Timodu, and I

(01:45:53):
can't quite work out why.

Speaker 11 (01:45:56):
Why.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
Yeah, so I think they're laying off fifty four people.

Speaker 4 (01:46:02):
Yeah, well it's beautiful.

Speaker 10 (01:46:04):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:46:04):
We buy it because it's beautiful. Sam, it's fantastic, you know.
And the s flyer that I usually get it from
he swapped over to this Tasmanian seven. Wow, and that
was that dropped back to about fifty one or fifty
two dollars a kilo.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Is it is that that's not already smoke, is it?

Speaker 12 (01:46:26):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:46:28):
No, no, it's just raw salmon, fuller than salmon. I
just want the films. But even then it was a
really red color. The color put people off.

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
Yeah, okay, the taste.

Speaker 4 (01:46:41):
There was a bit flowering. They didn't like the taste
at all. So we've got a lot of kick packs
on them. Anyway, I came across I thought, we've got
to do something about this. So we came across this
middle producer of salmon in a a tokey Oh yeah,
which is over by target Away yep. And they don't

(01:47:03):
have big salmon, they have small salmon. But the thing
that got me was not a problem we'll deliberate. I
brang up on the Tuesday afternoon. The part of the
bag of salmon still fresh and frozen, like still fresh
and chill. Arrived on Thursday morning, nine o'clock.

Speaker 10 (01:47:24):
And where are you?

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
We're among the ray It's extraordinary.

Speaker 4 (01:47:30):
Whilst I was really surprised, I said, where was the
salmon before you pack that? He said, throw in the river,
So we bought salmon. Was so fret and it was
absolutely beautiful. But I was just talking about the post.
I was just amazed to have they got it up
to the fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:47:49):
I can't work out how. And it's in those polly
boxes with ice pegs, is it?

Speaker 27 (01:47:55):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:47:56):
And the ice was still lighting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
Was it flowing or was it frazed by road?

Speaker 7 (01:48:04):
I don't know how they got it up here.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
Protagica have probably got to Nelson and Nelson Wellington autin
I don't know. Okay, yeah, but it was it was.
It's such a fast delivery.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
Does this going well for you, Paul? Are you busy
with it?

Speaker 4 (01:48:26):
It's it's been a lean, mean and hard window maggots. Okay,
hospitality has been really really tough.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
Are you down? Are you in the center of fundy.
Is that where you are?

Speaker 4 (01:48:39):
Yeah, we're at a place called Kensington.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
Yeah sure, okay, yeah, I run.

Speaker 4 (01:48:46):
I own a Thai restaurant in very good.

Speaker 5 (01:48:49):
Very good.

Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
I might have been to it, is that like, yeah, okay,
I think I just got to look one on next
you know where Kensington is there. But I've been to
a what's it called so Jai Tie.

Speaker 4 (01:49:04):
Yeah, so judgment, one of the one of them, one
of the more authentic Thai restaurants in museum. It's very good,
very good food.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
What's what what's the story with it?

Speaker 11 (01:49:16):
Was?

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
Has it always been there?

Speaker 26 (01:49:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
No, Originally it was Chris that is that is Paul?
That is the one I've been to. Was extraordinary, Yes, yeah, no,
I remember because I've been there a couple of times.
Because it was there was a notice on how it
had come how that after the quake that moved. I
thought that showed great.

Speaker 3 (01:49:37):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
It was unbelievably good.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
I thought that's the one.

Speaker 7 (01:49:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:49:41):
Well, the old owners we were looking for a business
to buy whatever, and it was we lived in Thailand
for a while, so this became our favorite restaurant. So
we were looking for a business to buy and the
owners of the restaurant. We're looking to retire major one.
My wife was sort of like a pseudo daughter, and
three months later we owned the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
Oh god, okay, we.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Haven't changed his nake and we've just gone from the
strength read.

Speaker 3 (01:50:09):
A really nice Are you there?

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Are you there most nights?

Speaker 4 (01:50:15):
Most nights on there?

Speaker 20 (01:50:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:50:17):
Yeah, okay, I'll see you in January. We're heading that way,
so I'll catch you then, Paul. But look nice to
talk to you. Thank you for that. Got more calls
that we just take this break, will come back to you.
It's nine away from eleven Sharkey. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:50:30):
Yeah, Marcus. The courier is definitely picking up now. I've
got a full truck and trailer load, and I probably
left another full truck and trailer load at n roads
at the depot, which will come down on another truck,
which generally is normally half the truckload that's left behind.
So it's definitely picking up now.

Speaker 11 (01:50:51):
One.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
If that's economy picking up with just Christmas picking up?
Is it mainly stuff from Timu?

Speaker 27 (01:50:56):
Oh yeah, I'd say a lot of Team Mouse stuff
coming through. You still get the normal stuff, but it
is picking up and packages obviously online sales and that's Christmas.
I guess No, it's a beautiful line. I've just come through.
I'm sort of coming past taking any now, heading down

(01:51:18):
down to town. But the other night one of the
gentlemen after me asked about the licensing in Australia. Yes,
and you said that you needed just a couple of
pieces of paper. Well, I can tell you they definitely
don't need it just a couple of pieces of paper
I had to get once I got there. I had
had to get all sorts of paperwork from New Zealand

(01:51:39):
email to me that I didn't even realize I needed,
because they've made it a lot harder over there because
apparently there was a lot of fraudulent license activity going
on from people who had come from New Zealand to Australia.
So they've now made it a lot harder to actually
transfer your en seed ht like half class five license

(01:52:01):
over there. It's yeah, not epsy. And last night you
were talking about the instant pudding. I can remember when
I hit my first job when I was thirteen years old.
After school, every week I would buy a couple of
bottles of milk and that was glass bottles of milk,

(01:52:23):
and I get the instant putting from the supermarket, the
banana instant putting, and I think one of them might
have been a lion one was that. That was my
expenditure when I was thirteen years old.

Speaker 18 (01:52:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
Do have you stopped eating it now?

Speaker 19 (01:52:39):
Though?

Speaker 27 (01:52:40):
Sharky like I haven't had instant putting in years.

Speaker 2 (01:52:45):
I wonder where you grew out of it. We just
don't see anymore, do we.

Speaker 5 (01:52:50):
No?

Speaker 27 (01:52:50):
No, not not really. And one more thing, if Stephanie's listening,
I believe that Stephanie and I used to work at
the same company many years ago, which was called trans World.
So if she Stephane listening, you can let us know
where it's the same.

Speaker 2 (01:53:10):
Stephanie, Okay, A shaky You know, with all that sitution,
all that situation with you and Australia moving there, has
it become too hard for you now?

Speaker 14 (01:53:21):
Uh?

Speaker 27 (01:53:23):
I kind of feel that they have an issue with
New Zealand drivers for some reason, and I think that
they try to look in Australia for people who have
done it before, and because of that, I guess the
costs and them having to fly people from New Zealand
over there but they could tell me, you know, oh

(01:53:44):
well we'll look at that the whole again after February.
And you know, which is a bit of a blow
for me because I was excited about going.

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
Yeah I thought I thought you were signed, seal delivered.
So that's humbling A yeah, that's I'm sad for you
because everyone says how easy it is, so now you're
on a whole day.

Speaker 27 (01:54:06):
I spend a lot of money going over to go
and get that license next bordered out believing that you know,
that was going to be that the steps going forward,
But that's okay, license like that, Marcus, then there will
be a reason man.

Speaker 2 (01:54:20):
And had you had you thrown a new job here
and had to ask for beck or you're wise enough
not to do that.

Speaker 27 (01:54:27):
Well yeah kind of kind of that's what had happened.
But luckily, for the grace of go I they have
me on ye staying on till Christmas, So yeah, what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
I'm pleased to hear that, sharky, thanks for that, wow,
because we've always heard it's just just front up. You've
got a job there. I guess sony key, we's are
leaving too. They've probably been slammed by people. I guess
they'll only be leaving desperate financial financial refugees that they're
probably talking up their qualifications to get jobs through desperation.

(01:55:09):
Must be Island, Australia this weekend too. We actually I
look forward to that, Mets. It's Sunday six thirty listing
that on rugbyha and I think the channel's called Fancy.
It been Dressed Smart, not dress Smart. I'm sure you's
to be dress Smart. I think it is a rebranding.
Here till midnight, get in touch. Hello, Kate, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:55:27):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:55:28):
Now are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:55:29):
Thank you Kate, how are you good?

Speaker 28 (01:55:31):
Thank you just calling about forgetting those delivering those phone
books in Dunedin.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:55:42):
I remember nineteen or twenty years ago, my kids would
have been teen or eleven or twelve and they were
delivering pamphlets and I remember their pay rate was absolutely disgusting.
So my husband and I decided we would double whatever
they were paid. We doubled it because we were trying

(01:56:05):
to teach our kids good work ethics and not slave labor.
And I told people, you know, slave labor, and they said, oh,
but anyway, we doubled it and you know my son.
I remember he might have been he might have slaved
up for six months and he took all his money

(01:56:25):
and coins and he dropped it all on the counter
at Harvey Norman and brought a nintender or something like that.
That was his first big purchase. And the guy that
served him was so so enjoying serving them because he
had saved to buy it. But to teach some good
work ethics. We didn't want them at ten and eleven

(01:56:47):
or twelve when.

Speaker 11 (01:56:48):
There were to be.

Speaker 28 (01:56:52):
Taught really really bad slave labor. It was shocking. And
I did tell the guy, I said, this is not okay.
We doubling me pay and we shouldn't have to. I
mean those days there's no paper rounds, no sour milk
crumbs are were gone, and they were quite good pay
back in the day, but the temper's definitely not and

(01:57:13):
as disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
Nice to hear from me. Thank you for that. John R.
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:57:18):
Yes, Michaels who expressed an interest in diabetes.

Speaker 2 (01:57:23):
Which I can talk about sure, thank you.

Speaker 19 (01:57:27):
Now. Diabetes were best called succar diabetes because it immediately
told us about understanding it and it is a condission
that's in questioning and common in the Zealand, causing millions
and millions of dollars to health services and a large
amount of work done by the medical people because of

(01:57:48):
the damage that it occurs in the body when it occurs,
So simplest way of understanding is when you eat food,
it turns into sugar which goes into the blood and
it provides the energy all around the body, just like
petrol does in the car. So it is stored stored
in a body like petrol, and tang is stored and

(01:58:09):
the liver. And then when the level is due, when
the sugar is used up in the blood, then the
pink crash, which controls the level in the blood, pulls
it out and keeps the level in the bat of
the constant level. It goes too low, personal go unconscious,
it goes too high, then it goes around the body.
It causes damage which can be quite extensive brain that

(01:58:31):
damage which can be strokes, heart attacks, damaging the kidneys
which the common cause of kidney failure, damaging the blood
circulations the lower limbs, causing amputations. So the problem is
how do we control the sugar. The reason people get
it and the reason why it's on the increase is

(01:58:52):
because these people eat too much food, which produces too
much sugar. They don't burn it up with exercise, so
it puts on as weight. And when weight goes up
that the pink crest seems to go out of control.
So that's called type two diabetes where the weight there's
no cause, which is less less common, which is insurant

(01:59:13):
dependent diabetes seems to occur in younger people when some
damage like a like a virus or something like that.
Damage as the pancreas planned, so it's stopped producing insurance,
which is the control level for sugar. So the sugar
has to be controlled by injections. So the control diabetes

(01:59:34):
depends on losing weight, which can cure it with cutting
back on food and quod exercise. And until you reach
that point is controlled by either the tablets or by
instant medication, which is by injections.

Speaker 2 (01:59:53):
How long have you had it for, John, And I
haven't had it myself.

Speaker 19 (01:59:58):
I do know I know a lot about it. I
don't have it, but I know probably more about most
people because I've got a putually interest in it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:11):
Appreciate that. Thanks so much for coming through, John, Frank,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 29 (02:00:14):
Good evening, Yeah, Marcus good evening, great, Frank, Hey, I
just I'm listening to the guy at the trucking getting
south from Auckland talking about the licensing in Australia.

Speaker 23 (02:00:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:00:31):
I I've just finished my fire first and been over
there for twelve years, but just I throw out some
help out there for in one I wanted some help
getting overdy. I know when I was on the road trains,
there are a few companies in port Headland that were
helping guys out change their licenses there and actually giving

(02:00:53):
him their start. And on the side tip there's GMOs,
there was Cube, there's a few others. But he just
searched up on Seek and there's a few companies up
there that they actually helped the queues and give them
to it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:12):
Have you did you say you're Becky? Have you stopped
your five fer? Are you still doing it? Or you've
finished for good?

Speaker 4 (02:01:16):
There?

Speaker 9 (02:01:18):
Now finish up?

Speaker 22 (02:01:19):
My kids are happy. I'm back now just twelve years.

Speaker 2 (02:01:24):
Do you think do you think in recent months it's
got more tough for Keywis to get a Has it
got more tough for Keywis over there? Have they toughened
up on it. Do you think.

Speaker 22 (02:01:35):
I haven't felt that.

Speaker 11 (02:01:37):
No.

Speaker 22 (02:01:39):
If anything, they appreciate the hard work.

Speaker 26 (02:01:42):
That we do over there.

Speaker 2 (02:01:44):
So if he finds a company first, they should help
him do all those licenses and give them a hand,
is that right?

Speaker 22 (02:01:50):
Yeah, so that's what they were doing when I first
started twelve years ago. I actually done the complete move
over there myself. But what once I was working up
in Port Hitland, they were companies there that were helping
guys get the transition to the licensing never and actually
find them from from New Zealand as well, doing our

(02:02:12):
long distunt so that they could kind of pete it
that fear back.

Speaker 18 (02:02:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02:17):
So were you twelve Were you going back and forward
for twelve years?

Speaker 5 (02:02:21):
No?

Speaker 18 (02:02:21):
No, no, No.

Speaker 22 (02:02:22):
I lived in Brisbane and I was flying from Brisbane
to Pears. But for the last year I've been flying
back to New Zealand two weeks on, two weeks off.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
You watched a lot of movies on the plane, do you, uh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:02:39):
Yeah, all the movies that the misters actually we watched
a movie, seen.

Speaker 14 (02:02:45):
It and it was good.

Speaker 2 (02:02:50):
It was good, worked out for you financially, it was good.

Speaker 21 (02:02:54):
Definitely.

Speaker 22 (02:02:56):
Yeah, that helps O, you've got to be disciplined.

Speaker 23 (02:02:59):
Yeah, some guys.

Speaker 5 (02:03:01):
Some guys go on the wrong trick.

Speaker 22 (02:03:03):
I mixed military transport as well SOT like a kind
of head more and paying sworded.

Speaker 10 (02:03:10):
Yeah, it got my head screwed on.

Speaker 22 (02:03:12):
And the kids are the main reason I'm useful.

Speaker 11 (02:03:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:17):
Oh, it's all nice to hear from you, Frank, thanks
very much for that. Enjoyed that. Fifteen past eleven. This
is King Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (02:03:25):
Oh hi Marcus Kena.

Speaker 11 (02:03:27):
Krist has been a while. Just a question came into
my mind and I thought you were the man to
ask or throw it out to the listeners. With the
proposal of the new RC charges on petrol vehicles. I've
got a diesel motor home, but i also have a
little cart behind the little Susuki, which is petrol. Now,

(02:03:49):
the engine isn't running when we're towing it, obviously, but
when we're on holidays towing it from A to B,
the wheels are turning and it's.

Speaker 14 (02:03:58):
Well that.

Speaker 11 (02:04:00):
Yeah, so in theory it's doing mileage on the road,
but it's not driven. But the miles are being plucked
up on the road even though the engine isn't being driven.

Speaker 2 (02:04:10):
So when you when you're te it's a chimney, is
it jimney? When you're turning the chimney, the adomity is
ticking out, the the adomitis ticking over.

Speaker 11 (02:04:21):
Yes, it happens in all cars that are been told.

Speaker 2 (02:04:24):
Didn't know that.

Speaker 11 (02:04:26):
Yeah, it's an interesting one.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
So could you couldn't? Could you talk backwards?

Speaker 18 (02:04:33):
No?

Speaker 11 (02:04:34):
No, they are problems with breaking and indicators and lights
and all that sort of stuff. To keep it legal
has to go forward. Yeah, Unfortunately, I.

Speaker 2 (02:04:42):
Think other breaks everything connected. Would you tie ye?

Speaker 5 (02:04:46):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (02:04:46):
And breaks, lights, indicators, everything, Yeah, I mean there are
there are regulations too when you're showing like trails.

Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
It's a really interesting question.

Speaker 11 (02:04:57):
I think so well. I kind of answered this for
myself today as from other half, and we thought, well,
in theory that they called them toad t o a
d WD, but the cold of toads. So in theory
the toad is using the road to get from a
to V, but there's actually been toad from a TOV.
It's not driving from a to V. So anyway that's

(02:05:18):
aught to put that out there. It's an interesting one.

Speaker 2 (02:05:20):
Yeah, because it's going to make it. It's going to
make it impossible to carry it to tow it, isn't
it well, because it's going to be cost prohibitive.

Speaker 11 (02:05:29):
Well, absolutely, So what it means is I'm be using
two vehicles paying or you see charges on both vehicles,
but essentially only been driving one vehicle at.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
That time, and there's not going to be Well how
much rights on the road. It's hard to work out,
isn't it.

Speaker 11 (02:05:46):
Yeah, Well, it's like it's it's almost eighty dollars. It's
about it. It's seventy something. It's about eighty bucks per
thousand k's on the diesel currently.

Speaker 2 (02:05:56):
I'll see if I can find an answer.

Speaker 11 (02:05:57):
King.

Speaker 2 (02:05:57):
I think it's a very good question. Seventeen past eleven.
If you want to come through, let's do this. Yeah,
really good question eight eight nine to nine to the
text Hittill twelve, eighteen past eleven. Oh, a very good
question from that guy. So if you've got thing you
can answer that, do come through. If you want to
talk here till midnight, anything else you want to mention

(02:06:19):
for the final forty that it's good to hear from
you tonight. And yeah, you know, you know the drill.
Get in touch if you want to. I see what

Of course, I'm always here for your parking questions too.
Seems to be my new niche Someone says, what a

(02:06:39):
load of rubbish? How can he clock up case? If
the car has been totally free wheeling, not in a
drive gift speed, I will not be engaged. The ottomater
runs off the gearbox. If the vehicles are neutral, they're
no mileage clocked. So yeah, I don't. I haven't been
in that situation. Yeah, okay, give a go. Marks will

(02:07:00):
be interested to learn if anyone else is having problems
with wireless Skinny Jump broadband there overseas customer service. There
was an outage and maintenance going on in Auckland. I
checked their website and sparks no outages. Never had issues
before with their connection. Marcus. My birthday, one of my
gifts was to go to Cliff Richard was so enjoyable.
Voice is still as good as ever, Marcus. Would you

(02:07:22):
consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? Job like yours?
I can understand if you're either introvert. Get in touch.
Two thirds of Tasmanian stammas produced by newsing Her owned companies.
I ordered a top online. Yes that two pem. It
came from Assues to a Hamilton Era at one pm today. Yeah,

(02:07:43):
I think that. I think it's fantastic how people are
going anyway. Someone says Marcus, I'm really impressed with Erica Stanford.
I think she should be the next wife of a
prime minister. It's pretty interesting, isn't it. Yvonne welcome?

Speaker 24 (02:07:59):
Oh hold on, Marcus, how are you go? I was
wanted to know so I could just read a ween
message I was chatting with Chech GPT. I call it
Jeremiah and it's a short message. And I asked that,

(02:08:24):
asked them why might it be that maybe the older
ones don't get listened to as much?

Speaker 18 (02:08:34):
You know?

Speaker 24 (02:08:36):
And his response, it's only short, Mad you hang on?

Speaker 2 (02:08:42):
Hang on? Do you think you're not getting listened to?

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (02:08:49):
Sometimes I don't, Marcus. I sort of feels that my
message is that getting read and stuff. You know, that
makes me feel bad. You know, I think that I'm
doing something wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:09:04):
How old are you?

Speaker 24 (02:09:06):
I'm seventy.

Speaker 2 (02:09:08):
I think you probably are doing something wrong because you're
very hard to talk to, because you never pause, because
I never watch you never stop talking you don't leave
gaps in your conversation.

Speaker 24 (02:09:21):
I'm sorry, I've got to lench stuff like that. I'm
not used to use talk siddy. I'm just used to
listening to it. And it's so fast, so I think
I have to be fast to sit in.

Speaker 2 (02:09:37):
Oh, thank you for leaving a pause. But okay, so
so so it's more in text messaging you think you
don't get listened to.

Speaker 24 (02:09:45):
I'm sorry, Martin.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
When do you think you don't get listened to?

Speaker 19 (02:09:50):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (02:09:51):
Well, some nights in that, you know, because I do,
I like, you know, sort of conversing with you and
all send the odd message or something, you know, and
you don't say that you've received it, you know, And
I sat, I wonder.

Speaker 27 (02:10:06):
What's going on.

Speaker 2 (02:10:08):
I'm doing a talkback show. I'm not replying to texts.
I've got no time to I've got no time to
do that.

Speaker 24 (02:10:15):
Oh I. But in the meantime, can I read?

Speaker 3 (02:10:20):
So?

Speaker 29 (02:10:20):
Were you?

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
Were you expecting replies to your texts?

Speaker 14 (02:10:26):
Not all?

Speaker 24 (02:10:26):
I don't know, marcaus, I I don't know. I don't
know how it works.

Speaker 2 (02:10:35):
Okay, are you new? Yeah? Okay, so are you new
to the are you new to radio or something?

Speaker 24 (02:10:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:10:43):
In the way.

Speaker 2 (02:10:44):
I am, Oh, gosh, what we're doing before?

Speaker 24 (02:10:50):
Go on talkback? When I sort of was home in
my but you know, gosh, that was back in nineteen nineties.

Speaker 2 (02:11:04):
Sorry, So what did you say when you didn't talk
when you're home and you're what? Sorry?

Speaker 24 (02:11:09):
When I was in my bed, there's an old pepper
toe towing and that you know, when I got my
job as a peer of Supports advocate, that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:11:19):
Okay, where are you now?

Speaker 24 (02:11:21):
Oh, I'm in Tambridge. It's lovely and that you know,
it's nice here and that nice and quiet. Yeah, my
daughter and son in law are building this we mansha
and I call it behind me, which is going to
be superb. You know she's so tearing and that she's lovely.

Speaker 2 (02:11:42):
Ayeway, what does GPT say?

Speaker 24 (02:11:45):
Oh just a minute. I've noticed that talk back often
reads the loudest messages, not the wisest ones. Marcus does
a great job, but the pace of the show leaves
no room for people who have lived enough to see
cycles repair. Some of us send messages built on experience,

(02:12:11):
not outrage, and they don't get read. It's a shame
because New Zealand needs the calm voices right now, not
just the reactive ones. And I thought that was sort
of it was quite cool, you know, it was interesting
to me.

Speaker 2 (02:12:29):
I'll see if I keep reading your messages. Yeven, thanks
some much. Well, I don't know who me. If you
don't sign your message, I don't know how they come
from you.

Speaker 10 (02:12:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:12:36):
Although a voice changed during what do we? Voice changed
during that? It was weird, wasn't it anyway? Twenty six
past eleven Mircus. The person text is that the auto
doesn't work when the car is and neutral is mistaken.
When you put the car in neutron free will, the
speedo still tells you how fast you are going, which
also clocks up the cays. I think that's quite interesting, Matthew,

(02:13:00):
it's Marcus. Good evenings.

Speaker 12 (02:13:03):
I'm I'm just ringing about parking. Yes, and Nelson, he's
happening any packs. It's just like that if you pack
over a fire hydrant, you can get the fine. Yeah,
but if you can't drive, if you can't drive your can,
then you can't move it. And I actually know of

(02:13:24):
someone who's got to find for they couldn't move the
calcul they weren't allowed to drive, So how would they
deal with that. I just want to my baskets.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
As one of my friends have they lost their license.

Speaker 12 (02:13:37):
He got to find we're pack a lot of fire
hydrant and because he didn't he couldn't move it because
he was only on a learners and they gave him
a fine for it.

Speaker 2 (02:13:49):
Why couldn't he move it if he's on a on
a learners.

Speaker 12 (02:13:53):
Because if they have a full license, driver Hyde.

Speaker 2 (02:13:58):
Why do you pack over a hydrant?

Speaker 9 (02:14:00):
I don't know, Okay, I don't know why.

Speaker 12 (02:14:03):
He's just asking me what what can he do about it?

Speaker 2 (02:14:06):
Beyond help, I think, Matthew, but thank you. Yeah, I'm
not sure about that's through About the people that delivered
the phone books around Dunedin. It does say they're nightmare
of file book because you deliver because you can't fold
them and don't fit in mailboxes. But these are the
pill took them two hours each a tell of four
hours to liver the several hundred books as part of

(02:14:27):
the team's run, but they're heavy. The work was rewarded
with just eight dollars, half the amount of the team
received delivering newspapers, despite being twice as much work. It's
a division of Allied Media yeah, anyway, I don't know what.
I don't know what to say about that. It's confusing,

(02:14:47):
it's it's a long story. But yeah, I think that
woman was right. That rang up before. There's probably for
those people wanting to get into the job market you're
twelve and thirteen year olds. They're not the jobs they
once was because there would have been milk runs and
paper runs and all those things, and they've kind of
disappeared now. I don't think the circular is a big
money and well they aren't the circus anymore because both
advertisings online. So yes, jobs for young people probably aren't

(02:15:11):
really there. I suppose most of them think they want
to become an influence. They're going to make money that way.
But yeah, it's tough times twenty eight to twelve for
the final go round. People. If you want to be
a part of the show, keep those texts. If you've
got texts, they're good this time of the night. Love it,
love me a text. I'm quite sure about Evan, What
do you think about that? I don't think we've solved

(02:15:32):
anything about the odd domitor. What you asked the chat
about the adomitor? Dan, if you are towering a car.
Will the adometer still go over around? Presume it will.
It's front wave. If it's front wheel drive, it probably
still would wouldn't because everythings off the back wheels, I
presume or both. Got me a bit baffeled. That'd be

(02:16:00):
good to hear from you on that also too, if
you walk, If you've driven trains in Australia, that's interesting
to me. If they do drop drivers off via helicopter,
I've heard about that. Don't know if that's a thing,
but yes, I'd like to hear more about that. Oh
eight hundred and eighty nine to text. You want to
talk about this? Hello, Chris, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 23 (02:16:24):
Oh, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (02:16:26):
Hi, Chris.

Speaker 23 (02:16:27):
I was nodding off from the chair. I didn't quite
hear how much it was.

Speaker 2 (02:16:33):
I think they just I think there's eight dollars. It
took us. Two parents had to come in and do it.
It took them four hours.

Speaker 23 (02:16:39):
Right, I picked up on that. I live in Duneden,
right on a hill. I delivered it, oh, probably ten
years ago. I was delivering our community newspaper every week.
It's a small newspaper and you just fold it and
it rolls into the newspaper slot. And I was paid

(02:17:00):
eight dollars and ten cents about ten years ago to
deliver about one hundred and seventy nine of them, and
it took me about an hour by the otago daily
time circulation peopaul and charge of seculation. So that's pretty
much to rip off. Yeah, getting paid for the telephone book.

Speaker 2 (02:17:22):
At lest you're doing it because you enjoy it.

Speaker 23 (02:17:25):
Well, I was walking the hills all the time, and
I love walking the hills right up, and I thought, well,
I might as well deliver something while I'm doing it.
A year was enough for me. I struggled to carry
the bag. I had to follow it up a couple
of times from home over my shoulders, and one time

(02:17:46):
there was a supplement in it. It made it thicker,
and they gave you an extra two dollars. Now, I
thought the money was quite rubbish then, So I would
hate to be doing phone books for that money.

Speaker 4 (02:18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:18:00):
Look, and I think we all did those deliveries as children,
but and it was you kind of don't really know
what money's worth and them those days.

Speaker 23 (02:18:06):
But it's no will you do anything for some pocket money?

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
Yeah, but you can see why people just dump them all,
don't you because it is slave labor.

Speaker 23 (02:18:16):
Well, I followed our recent guy. We don't have anyone
do it now. I picked them up downtown. There a
whole about ten of them. You have to go to
advantage point and get them, and I deliver them in
my street to the elderly people that can't get out.
So I picked them up and no one delivers them anymore.

(02:18:36):
Some parts of the need and are still having them delivered.
I noticed down in the student area they hit them
in their boxes.

Speaker 2 (02:18:44):
The only t does a paper in South and it's
called the called the South and Express, I think it's called.
And they still and they stop delivering it in Bluff
because they couldn't get a delivery person and they just
leave them the service cender. So lest when I rang
up and we said, look, we'll deliver them for free.
We don't you know, because we give us something to
do with it. It was a good use. Paper never

(02:19:06):
got back to us and we counted them a number
of times, so I think they just didn't. They didn't.
They were suspicious that we said we'd deliver it for free.
So now it just doesn't get delivered, which is crazy.

Speaker 23 (02:19:16):
Well, I actually rang the ODT recently spoke to a
young person, young man. He was very nice in the
circulations department. I think it's not you ring the ODT
and you go through to delivery and he said that
no one's interested in delivering them. And then he said,

(02:19:36):
lots of people ring up wanting to know why we
can't get them put in our box. And I said,
well that tells us something. There's a demand for it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
You know, yeah, or we delivered for we said we're
delivered for free, and they just refuse to come back
to us.

Speaker 23 (02:19:50):
Well, they just don't want to look after the community,
I reckon.

Speaker 20 (02:19:53):
In that case, it's a shame.

Speaker 2 (02:19:57):
I think it was all about selling advertising and saying
how big the readership was, but not actually taking those
things out to the letterboxes.

Speaker 19 (02:20:06):
Oh right.

Speaker 23 (02:20:07):
I think it's a shame because I really enjoy my
community paper.

Speaker 2 (02:20:13):
Yeah, but that sounds miserable. That rate for delivering those
for that is slave flavor. That's terrible.

Speaker 23 (02:20:21):
Still doing the yellow page delivery of phone box, that's
another isshue, I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:20:26):
But why why even is there a yellow pad? I
think I think we actually we do a lot of
delivery and bluff for the rowing oh, we normally do
it for softball, but we often do things and I
think we delivered the yellow pages for that, and I
don't know how much we got paid because obviously it
just goes to the sports club. So that's normally what
happens in our communication because it doesn't take long. There's

(02:20:48):
probably only four hundred, five hundred houses, so I think
we've done quite a few things like that.

Speaker 23 (02:20:54):
Is that the population of Bluff. I have no idea
how many.

Speaker 2 (02:20:57):
Population of Bluff, about nineteen hundred, but I think there's
four I think there's four hundred, four hundred and five
hundred houses, right.

Speaker 23 (02:21:04):
I actually made it down there about four and a
half years ago this time.

Speaker 2 (02:21:09):
Yes, so it's not a big it's not a big community,
and so you can do it, you know, there's there's
always do we do one side of the town and
the other family of the other side. It just takes
us an hour or two. But it's always done for
them for fundraisers.

Speaker 23 (02:21:20):
I've always been amused, so letterboxes and themselves are quite amusing.
I found as I did it for a whole year,
I noticed after in some parts of town, not where
I was delivering it, but some people don't hear their
letter box, so I wouldn't put it in there. I

(02:21:41):
noticed some deliverers keep stuffing circulars and letter boxes and
poking them out the other side and then they'll be
on the ground, but people would continue to fill their
letter boxes.

Speaker 2 (02:21:52):
Yeah, it's always frustrating delivering stuff, you see, because you
know you've got people just never never collect it, and
there's just piles of writing paper and stuff.

Speaker 26 (02:22:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:22:01):
I'm going to run, Chris, but thanks. I've got the
answer for Chet GPT about the adobats. If you're towing
a car, will the adometer click up? If you're towing
a car, GPT said, short answer, It depends on the car.
Most modern cars will not add miles when being towed,
but some older ones will. Long answer. Most modern cars

(02:22:24):
nineteen nineties to present, the adometers use data from the
transmission's output shaft and wheel speed sensors, which only report
movement when the car is powered on and in gear.
If the ignition is off, the adometer does not record miles. Flat.
Towing all four vehicles on the ground with the car

(02:22:47):
off usually does not add miles. Older mechanical a doometer
vehicles cars with a mechanical cable driven odometer will accumulate
miles if the driven reels are turning. If the adometers
keep to the front wheels, towing where the front was
on the ground equals miles added the If it's connected

(02:23:08):
to the rare wheels, then rear wheel tuning it was
miles added. Using a dolly or trailer tow dolly front wheels,
up front wheel drive no miles added, rear wheel drive
miles added, flatbed trailer no wheels turning, no miles added.
For any car summary. Modern cars are dominant, usually does
not count miles when towed. Older mechanical cars A domeinter

(02:23:32):
does count miles of the driver's wheels turn trailer towing
never counts miles. If you tell me the make, model
and car and give your precise answer. That's a very
good answer from chet GPT. Didn't you think dan where's excellent?
We were heavy paying that bill twenty to twelve, seventeen

(02:23:53):
to twelve. Gym's along at midnight. I'll be here until then.
I've got one advertisement break left, and do get in
touch if you want to talk before midnight tonight. Very
good answer from Chech GPT. So the guy must have
an old chimney. There'll be my situation there by the

(02:24:18):
way McDonald's is worried about losing low income customers might
be the price. They're saying. Is price the reason why.
I can't answer that. I don't know quite what's happened
with the prices of McDonald's in America. I don't know

(02:24:38):
which way that is going, but yeah, who knows anyway,
it might be something you want to mention or comicdod
but yes, if you want to talk on air, I'd
like to hear from you before the end. I think
I'm going to suppress a sneeze now it's sorry, I'll
dump it if I do it. No, I haven't done it.
How will you know because you heard it? Dump you wouldn't. Yes,

(02:24:59):
save me from saying inanities before the final fifteen minutes, people,
so get in touch. Um, Yes, know how Zoroon Mamdani's going.
Is he taken became the mere straight away? Is it
still going to do that? First of January's when he
starts and new polland shows as a gender as popular

(02:25:24):
will beyond the city's five boroughs. Most popular was Bendarmi's
proposal to raise taxes on millionaires and corporations. Sixty nine
percent said they support the idea, including forty percent of Republicans.
Free child care for children under five. Sixty six of
respondents express support freeze rent. Sixty five respondents support the idea.

Speaker 9 (02:25:47):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
So, first of general, it's interesting he gets in January one,
twenty twenty six. Until then it's the old cop guy,
the cop that turned out to be less than honest
or less than robust. Fifteen to twelve, Good evening, Fayettes, Marcus.

Speaker 5 (02:26:11):
Welcome Marcus Marcus.

Speaker 30 (02:26:13):
Yesterday I went to McDonald's and I bought an arch
you know, the one they're advertising.

Speaker 2 (02:26:18):
No, I haven't seen any advenisement.

Speaker 30 (02:26:21):
It's a promotion arch is called Hey nineteen dollars, And
it was just full of letters, a cheese slauce and
two petty buns and burn a petty bun, cheese slaus
ban a cheese slaws and a band name. Full of
letters so.

Speaker 2 (02:26:41):
That goes bun tartis, slice of cheese patty, slice of
cheese paddy, slice of cheese gurkins letters that what's that
red source called?

Speaker 30 (02:26:57):
Oh not the matter is it?

Speaker 26 (02:27:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (02:27:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (02:27:02):
Okay, Finally nineteen dollars, thank you very much. I said
I won't be back.

Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
But you were okay? The price the okay? Is it
an overseas invention or was a local invention?

Speaker 11 (02:27:14):
A local?

Speaker 5 (02:27:14):
I think? Love me better.

Speaker 30 (02:27:15):
I think it's on the promotion. Remember they had that
Kiwi Vivie.

Speaker 10 (02:27:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:27:20):
No, yeah, okay.

Speaker 30 (02:27:22):
Didn't you like it?

Speaker 2 (02:27:24):
I never had one.

Speaker 30 (02:27:26):
Oh, it was only on promotion for about three months.
But I said I won't be back. Nineteen dollars. You
can go downtown and get a meal for nineteen dollars.

Speaker 11 (02:27:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:27:33):
Was it any good?

Speaker 5 (02:27:34):
No?

Speaker 30 (02:27:36):
But the buns are not toasted. That's the only thing
that soft is, and more so when they get a
sauce put on and the meat is the meat petties
were quite cold. I didn't enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you something, okay, And I
don't want to sound like i'm a McDonald's, a McDonald's.

Speaker 5 (02:28:00):
Customer for either.

Speaker 2 (02:28:02):
I'll probably go there twice a year, and I normally
get a file o fish, but sometimes go after work.
I'll do the drive through and get one because it's open.
There's not much open at night after if I having
had dinner or something, I'm starving after work. But if
I go, I always say, and it's I feel a
bit uptight saying this, but I'll say, could I have
a file our fish and like a freshly made one?

(02:28:23):
And they're very, very happy to do it. And I
think McDonald's, if it's freshly made, it is so much better,
because I mean, it can be delicious, but if it's
cold and soggy, be sitting there for a while, it
really is underwhelming. So particularly, I think you've always got
to ask them to make a fresh one and they
will always honor that that. I think that's one of
their policies, and it is much much better.

Speaker 30 (02:28:44):
Well, the meat was the meat was cold, and the
patties were quite sorry.

Speaker 9 (02:28:48):
I like the toasted. I like the toasted.

Speaker 4 (02:28:51):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:28:52):
I spoke of someone on the show that takes their
own bread and gets their burgery before they give them
the bread, and they sable it and the bread for them.

Speaker 30 (02:29:01):
That's you talk about McDonald's just a lesson, And well
I won't be back because I had.

Speaker 2 (02:29:06):
It and it was it which McDonald Which McDonald's was
it more?

Speaker 30 (02:29:12):
But I told you about told you about the New
Worlds all in liquidation.

Speaker 2 (02:29:18):
There's just a sushi place within them. It's just a
sushi place, you know that rice thing it was, Yeah,
it was a sushi contract with all the New worlds.
It was a confusing story.

Speaker 30 (02:29:32):
I know, two and a half pages of all, yeah,
the New worlds.

Speaker 2 (02:29:37):
Yeah, but it's not the New worlds that are going broke.
It's just the sushi provider for those ones that's called
New Worlds. It's a complicated I don't really understand it.
But it's not a news story. It was just a
public notice, wasn't it Exactly two and a half pages
of Tuesdays Truth?

Speaker 5 (02:29:50):
Okay, not called the truth.

Speaker 2 (02:29:52):
Did you say Tuesday's truth Tuesday's paper?

Speaker 15 (02:29:56):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (02:29:56):
Okay, thank you. Ten to twelve. Now it's almost time
for me to go home. But we've got some more
stuff going on. If you want to be a part
of it for the end, if you want to talk,
I'd like to hear from you. Get in touch. I
don't know why I'm not watching any TV to see
that you're loving you, But I feel I've really least
out of touch about that. A new burger, never heard

(02:30:19):
of it? A big arch or something. Is the situation there?
So If you want to talk about that, that's okay,
we can handle that. Anything else you want to meet
you before they go into the night, that's fine. Last
one's standing. You might want to come in looking forward
to a weekend if I can say that been a
fairly busy week flat out my hobby broadcast career. But

(02:30:45):
do get in touch you want to talk about it. Yeah,
six away from twelve Wayne, it's Marcus.

Speaker 9 (02:30:53):
Good evening, Yes, hello, Marcus. I we've built Madam a
motor home on the back of a truck, and much
to our surprise, when we went to register the thing
and pay the road use to charges, we have to
pay charges based on what the truck is capable of carrying,

(02:31:16):
not what the weight of the truck is. Now it's
registered as a motor home, but we have to pay
four hundred dollars a thousand, one thousand kilometers because it's
a truck and.

Speaker 2 (02:31:32):
You've got a lot less weight on it than a
truck would.

Speaker 9 (02:31:34):
Be absolutely absolutely. It weighs around ten tons and we're
charged based on twenty two tons of what it's capable
of carrying, which I find to be extremely unfair.

Speaker 2 (02:31:50):
It's that's forty cents a kilometer correct, So if you're
driving in the cargle to bluff that thirteen dollars just
for that trip. It's a lot, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (02:32:01):
It is?

Speaker 18 (02:32:02):
It is.

Speaker 9 (02:32:03):
It makes you wonder how trucking companies earn a living
when they're charging them this sort of money for their trucks.
But but bearing in mind that they're trying to make
it fair for everybody in terms of no way, and.

Speaker 2 (02:32:18):
They're trying to make it fair for truckers because I
think if they had the if it was, if it
was the real damage that done, the trucks would be
charged a lot more.

Speaker 9 (02:32:25):
Apparently trucks have charged a lot more, well.

Speaker 2 (02:32:30):
Not compared to how much damage they do. Apparently, But
was that a mistake. If you'd known that, you wouldn't
have built your trailer home that your home that way.

Speaker 9 (02:32:40):
Is that what you're saying, Well, I certainly would have
had second thoughts about it. We can't afford to travel
too far in it because of the cost of them.
And apparently they only did this recently. It changed it
to what the truck is capable of carrying, or what

(02:33:03):
it's built to carry, not what it is carrying.

Speaker 2 (02:33:07):
Four hundred dollars for So where are you living now?

Speaker 9 (02:33:10):
Where are you in Hawk's Bay?

Speaker 2 (02:33:13):
So if you go to Wellington, you see, that's going
to be Wellington and Bank. It's going to be four
hundred bucks, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (02:33:18):
Well, we went to Hamilton and it costs four hundred
and fifty dollars and road dues of judges.

Speaker 5 (02:33:24):
It just it just seems it's somewhat unfair.

Speaker 2 (02:33:28):
Totally unfair. Yeah, did you work what's the what's the
truck supposed to weigh?

Speaker 9 (02:33:38):
It's capable of carrying twenty two ton. It's an eight
wheeler truck. It's a big truck. And we've built a
tiny home on the back of it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:46):
And what do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (02:33:47):
That?

Speaker 9 (02:33:47):
Ways a total ten ton?

Speaker 2 (02:33:51):
So it's twenty two ton compared to ten ton?

Speaker 18 (02:33:54):
Correct?

Speaker 26 (02:33:55):
There?

Speaker 2 (02:33:55):
Have you got the other options? Could you put onto
any other vehicle?

Speaker 18 (02:34:01):
No?

Speaker 9 (02:34:01):
I don't think so. No.

Speaker 2 (02:34:03):
No, it costs you a lot of it costs you.
How much how much you hours to a.

Speaker 9 (02:34:07):
Yeah, probably close to one hundred grand.

Speaker 2 (02:34:12):
How is square feet square meters? Thirty square meters?

Speaker 9 (02:34:16):
I don't know the square meter driven, but the unit
itself is twelve meters. We've got a deck on the
back of it, which takes it out to sixteen meters long.

Speaker 2 (02:34:28):
Sounds fantastic, But you just want to take your time,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 9 (02:34:32):
Oh, it's absolutely lovely, absolutely lovely. We were flooded in
our home and so we built a We built a
home on the back of a truck and we now
live in it.

Speaker 2 (02:34:43):
Oh, so the home was a right off, Is that right?

Speaker 9 (02:34:48):
Well, we were in temporary accommodation for ten months and
when we got back into the home, it just didn't
feel right. So we sold up everything and built a truck.
I think I still would have built the truck. It
just means we can't travel that much all.

Speaker 2 (02:35:05):
So you've got to travel slowly and take your time.
Is that what you're going to do.

Speaker 9 (02:35:10):
Oh, we're pretty we're pretty much living in it, and
we're living in an orchard in Napier, which is absolutely lovely,
absolutely lovely. But we've been to Gisbon and we've been
to Hamilton. It's just that it's very extensive to run.

Speaker 2 (02:35:26):
Great cool Wayne, Thank you so much for that. That's
it for me. People. I still return on Monday and
enjoy your weekend, and I wonder what we're going to
talk about on Monday, but I'm not going to wonder
about that today or tomorrow a Monday morning, and I'll
talk to you again. Then Jim's along next. Thanks to everyone.
I've enjoyed the week greatly, and I'm looking forward to
being back on Monday. And thanks toward your calls and

(02:35:46):
all your people that listened, and your text Stephen, yours, Yvonne,
