Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be here Will twelve. At seven past eight, the
skies have opened and awkard it's throwing it down. No
reports of flooding, but I'll keep an eye on that
tonight too. I'll keep an eye on all news it
happens the next three hours fifty three minutes. If it happens,
you'll hear about it here. It's my promise to you tonight.
So if it happens, you'll hear about it here today.
Any breaking news will bring that to you throughout the
next course of the three hours, so through or four hours.

(00:31):
But you know what I'm saying. So if you've got
breaking news, bring that to us also too tonight. Could
be you never know when something's going to happen, basically,
and sometimes things happen at the night time. So I
will do my damnedest to bring that to your Greetings
and welcome Hitdle twelve. Hope it's good. We you are,
oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to

(00:52):
nine two the texts you do want to come through.
I think we've got a new word of the year,
parasocial don't really know what that is. I don't really know. Parasocial.
It is to describe a connection that people feel with
someone they don't know, or even with an artificial intelligence.
I've never used that apart from tonight. Yeah, parasocial. I've

(01:19):
got no idea what it is, but there we go.
You might want to use that tonight. Another word that's
big for this share is the word slot. This is
to do with the Cambridge Dictionary. Slop is content on
the inset that's a very low quality quality, especially when
it's created by AI as well as Mema Phi. New

(01:40):
words are de lulu, skibberty and tread wife. There's always
new words. I'd never say the words that we've stopped using,
do they that's the dictionary. I'd be interested in the
words that fell out of favor, the words that kind
of went west. Anyway, So tomorrow night it's going to
be interesting. Metallic is only playing once in New Zealand

(02:02):
and it's tomorrow at Eden Park. That's going to be huge.
So they're already picking Carmageddon, so it's going to be
traffic jams and a lot of roads are going to
be closed tomorrow night, which is not going to make
the Mount Mountain to nights and their spacious villas feel
any rosier about humanity. But that's just the journey they

(02:23):
have to take. And yeah, Metallica is going to be very,
very big. So streets are closing for about four o'clock
and there's a mess of planning about that. Tow of course,
I'll be in the driver's seat, so we'll help you
get to the concert. I'll be here. I'm just curious
to know as I start off tonight if anyone is
already journeying towards All Conform Metallica, because people will be

(02:47):
heading there, and I'm curious to know also what your
plan is for tomorrow night. You might be an out
of town. I'll be curious to know where you're going
to stay and what your plan is. So Wednesday night
doesn't really feel like a Metallica night, but that's the
way it's going to go. That's tomorrow night. So yeah,
and there'll be a big crowd there. They're calling it
for chaos, so there will be road closures, the arterial

(03:10):
routes and will close from mid afternoon. It's your first
consertance twenty ten. Look, I wouldn't even be surprised if
there's not large a large number of people from in
Vocabo heading up there for this one forty thousand visitors
tomorrow night. Hotels are one hundred percent capacity, so it's
going to be the biggest night in Auckland for a
long long, long, long long long time. So that's happening.

(03:33):
Centringham Road, Walter's Road, Cricket avriemaz av Bell would have
will close, So it's going to be a big deal.
But if you are heading up to walking for Metallic
I want to know, or heading down you might be
in the far North. I wouldn't mind if if you're
journeying now for the big drive, let us know how
it's going for you when you get a head up,
what is your plan for it tomorrow? Suicidal tendencies ever
in essence kickoff at five thirty, so it's an early start.

(03:54):
You can enter from full thirty. I suppose you're going
to be out of there early. That's the way it goes.
So yeah, that's a situation with Metallica. If you've got
any questions about that or any comments about that, they'd
like to hear from you. You can already buy your
merch because people want the merchandise. It's not enough to
go that way to the concert. You gotta actually have
something to Metallica pre party Morning Side Tevern and Morning

(04:18):
Side Glasshouse Prize Entertainment radio hosts from not z B
will be there, So if you're gonna go to that,
I wouldn't mind hearing what you've got to say about
That'll be exciting. I wish I was going now now
I'm kind of getting to the hype of that eight
hundred and eight. If you're off to Metallica, I wouldn't
mind knowing what's going, what your journey plan is, and

(04:39):
the way you're going to run at it. I think
the key about Metallica is to get your preloading right.
You don't want to go too hard. I think probably
you want to remember it. Every time I go to concerts,
I'm always amazed by people that don't get the mix right.
You know, those ones that you see drunk arriving. I'm thinking, gee,
what's that about? Anyway, concerts? It's not about concerts. I

(05:05):
don't know whether eating will be good for it. I mean,
I guess they'll be in the round. I don't know
if they're going to have those wristbands that glow like Coldplay.
People seem to love those, didn't they They wore them
home and they're happy airs as they winding their way
into the night. Anyway, So it's tomorrow Metallica five point thirty. Scotty,

(05:29):
it's Marcus.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Welcome, good evening, So I'm listener, first time caller.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Great wow, nice to hear from your Scotty.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Hey, Neia. Metallica is a pretty big gig, but I
think there's a bigger one coming up next weekend.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That's tall Wow.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I feel bad about it because Tool came? Didn't Did
Tool come during COVID and it was a super spreader event.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh some people say Maynard bought COVID here, but.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh was he? Was he sick as well?

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Was he?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
He got COVID and the first gig? Yeah, yeah, I'd
like to go to Metallica, But now I'll chuck all
my or my or my balls and the tall Where
are they?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Where are they playing? Spark and where did they play
last time? It wasn't sparked last time?

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Was it?

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sparked last time in twenty twenty and then I think
twenty sixteen and then a couple of big day out
before that.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, I think that north Shore had the big day
out pretty good. What would have got you to go
to Metallica?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Oh, some ease of getting tickets? I suppose two maybe, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know why they didn't do a second I
was I'll certainly be a second show.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah you would, but anyway, not really, you know, I
like Metallica, but sort of something about it nowadays doesn't
really do it for me.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah. Tall big merchandise band, too, aren't they.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, they're right into their merch Yeah, a lot
of merch.

Speaker 8 (07:03):
They all had that sort of avenue nowadays. Fashion it's
just the one night too for Tall.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, two two for two one for Metallica. Thanks Scotty.
Keep in touch anyway, fourteen pass lately. I always like
that cartoon with a guy wearing a tul t shirt.
He says, Oh, I'm not in the band, I'm just
at all I always thought that was quite good. I
get in touch. Oh, eight hundred and eighty. I'm curious
to about your Metallica planning for tomorrow night. Forty thousand people.
It's big thought. They would have gone two nights. I
bet christ Church. I mean there would be a metallic

(07:31):
A strong point, wouldn't They'll be disappointed. They've got their
stadium up and running. Dosia Cats playing tonight at spark
Are and it would have been a lot bigger if
it was a weekend. Marcus, how are you I'm going
to for the first time? I'm going to do for
the first How are you I am going to do
for the first time in life? I've grown succulent plants
from cuttings and new growth. I would take them to

(07:51):
sell at the local weekend market and Levin Wow, go
you Marcus, Thank you kind of for you're helping the
people listen Sonia, Thank you Marcus. The super city, how's
that can't even hold a mess of concert without closing
d What'll be interesting is when the rail loop happens,
which will be next year. I presume if that'll be

(08:12):
enough to get Eden Park full without closing the roads.
Because you'd imagine cities with sophisticated transport systems can move
big numbers into concerts like Sydney, It's the Olympic Park, any
of those ones. They get everyone in and out on
trains and people from Zeno across that it's a modern miracle.
Someone said a word that is back in the nineties
but disappeared as pash. It'll come back, Marcus. Does anyone

(08:36):
use rube anymore? We might be on the words that
have fallen out of favor. I don't even know what
the word rube is. So we're talking about metallic, but
also words because we're looking at new words like parasocial,
but words that used to be thinking that no one
ever uses anymore. A rube is an awkward, unsophisticated person,

(08:56):
like rustic your rube. It's quite a good word, actually,
So that's the other thing we might talk about tonight,
Metallica and your plans for metallic. If you're heating up
there tomorrow, if you're South Islan, you're heading up, I
don't know where you're going to stay and what you're going
to do and how much money you're going to spend.
Eshburton topped out twenty nine point four degrees today, still

(09:17):
twenty five degrees now. So she's a hot one hot
in the South Island, very hot down here in Bluff.
It's been our hell of a day, very misty, light
rain and Levin, but the southwest sky is bringing peak
orange color. Peter from Levan pink Sky at night. You'll
be right. I don't know those ones. Be in touch

(09:37):
with you on to Marcus till twelve o'clock tonight, anything
else that you want to have being Oh, by the
way to it's ten years today since John Olomu died.
I don't know if that's something that people are aware of,
but there's been a little bit of press about that.
But that's what's happened today now as I'm saying, they
haven't got that. That is today, isn't it, Dan, Yes, Oh

(09:59):
there so yeah, twenty fifteen, Gosh, New Zealand rugby legend
John O Loomu dies from a heart attack, aged forty.
That was today, ten years ago. Also day, of course,
well you wouldn't know this, but nineteen forty seven the
Ballantine's Fire with forty one have died. We've talked about
that a bit on talkback and what they did to

(10:19):
the fire service with ladders and things like that, well,
ladders on trucks and things like that to fight higher fires.
It was a big deal. And this day, in nineteen
sixty three, push button phones are used for the first time.
I challenge anyone to remember their first time using a
push button phone, because I certainly can't remember it. To me,
it seems to be a invisible transition from the old

(10:42):
dial phones to hands free. But there were those slim,
orange and bone colored phones that your tap tap tap
tap tap seems like the future. I imagine the Americans
got them in sixty three. Imagine we probably got them
in eighty three. Some of them will know eighteen past eight, George,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, Marcus. You want a couple of words that are
no longer used. I was at a New World, at
the delicatestant, and there's an older lady serving, and I said,
I'd like some shaved hand please, And she says how much?
And I said a dollop. So she grabbed the tongs
and put a dollop on the scales and she said

(11:23):
is that enough? And I said a squizzle more, and
she puts some more on. I said, yep, perfect, and
she put it in the bag for me and put
the label on the price. And the young lady beside
her had no idea what we had said.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Can I imagine? Don't tell me, but I imagined a
dollop and a squizzle would be two fifty grams.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
I got no idea.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well we should pack it?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
You just grab an amount that feels about right.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'll be curious, though, how much you did buy? Have
you got it's in the French? Have you still got
the label?

Speaker 5 (11:54):
It's long, long on, but it's a certain amount that
you feel comfortable with. A dollt So you put a
dollop of cream on your on your SCons, and if
you wanted it more, you put a squizzle of jam
on it.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Which word do you think is the one that?

Speaker 9 (12:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Because a squizzle is a small squirt, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yes, it is. It's a small amount.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I've always thought what a better word would be a squizzlet,
and I have a squizzlet more. Yeah, which word do
you think is falling out? A favorite? Squizzle? Or dollar?

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I've only ever heard it used once again, and it
was in a movie, and I thought that was so funny.
I've never heard anybody use it in a shop or
for anything else. I'm the only person that I can
recall having used it in the last ten years.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Legend it's good.

Speaker 10 (12:43):
Eh No, I like that.

Speaker 11 (12:46):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
George good On, You know if you get jeepers? Was
that pro brutal get in touch hittell twelve you squizzle
or squizzle it Httle twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome
Metallica tomorrow and also too. We're talking about words. You know,
we always talk about words that are the new words,
but what are the words have disappeared? Hot tip for
Uber users tomorrow and night. Set up a pin for

(13:07):
your rides so you don't get your uber nicked by others.
Learned from that experience, Dan, do we know how to
set up a pin? Is that something you do when
you've been out drinking? No, Dan's never done it. Dan
and I aren't good with Uber or we're kind of good.
We were sitting a little bit nerdy, now, aren't we. Yeah,
we like the loser Cruiser. But look, I don't know

(13:30):
how you set up a pin. But that's good advice
because people, the Metallica crowd will steal your uber. Marcus
was at why Matti Morning Market last Saturday. Two localmen
in the twenties said they're off to Metallica, gonna wear
their rugby shorts, swan dries and boots just like in
wy Matty hilarious, awesome key attitude cheers. There will be

(13:52):
some great outfits at Metallica. But also you've got to
realize there be a lot of people that will be
early Metallica fans and they will be in their late
six in their sixties and over, and they all some
of those people sometimes because I think the Metallica's first
album was nine eighty two, so what's that forty three

(14:13):
years ago? So if you're twenty there and you're sixty three,
so some of those people and I think they're probably
when you're if it's a long time between drinks, if
you are sixty three, I think probably their consumption becomes
slightly more unpredictable, less predictabilty. You never know. There could
be people doing it tough anyway. Twenty one past twenty

(14:35):
want to be a part of an eight hundred and
eighty eighty and nine two nine two de text looking
forward to what you've got to say? Hetel twelve Metallica
and words have disappeared through his other stuff. By the way,
a school in England has banned I think it's a
slightly vaguely churchy school. They have banned the children from
singing K Pop Demon Hunters K Pop Demon Hunters songs.

(15:00):
This is lileput Church of England Infant School in Paul. Yeah,
they've banned people singing K pop Demon Hunter's songs because
of devil stuff, demons and the like, Which is a
great segue for this show, which is what did your

(15:21):
school ban? Was it bull Rush? Was it Chatterings? Was
it Hopscotch? Was it elastics? What would schools ban? I'm
trying to think of some of the things our school's band,
but I don't really know what the answer is. Was
it patitenis bats? Was it La Boo Boos? Is that

(15:43):
what they're called? So the thing that your school has banned?
Would like to know? Twenty three past eight a kind
of interesting texts. Me and my wife are taking our
footing year old son to Metallic are going to be
a memory I'll never forget. Have shown him the clip
when they played into Sandman in front of a million Russians.
He's learning drums, so he's excited looking forward to it.
Heading up from Lake Arapuni in the Wakato. Yeah, I

(16:06):
wish i'd go on that the eldest take them both. Actually,
Hey Marcus from Paul and Dorset. Beautiful place as the
second biggest natural harbor in the world and beautiful golden
sand beaches. I feel homesick now, Lorraine Glenn, this is Marcus.

Speaker 12 (16:21):
Welcome, good evening. I should say, yeah, I'm on the
Metallica concerts. I live only about a couple of kays
away from Eaden Park, and it is sad they're closing roads.
But I just wanted to know with you to have
you heard of such a thing as a backstage rider?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Why is it sad they're closing their roads?

Speaker 12 (16:42):
Well, because it's going to make it awkward to get
around Eden Park and for those who are working and
traveling on the motorways and central City, which I might
have to be doing tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Oh yeah, but I mean it's not often that happens.
I can't think of the joy it brings.

Speaker 12 (16:59):
Yeah, true, true, I mean I'm personally not a meotanical fan,
but I think they're worth seeing.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
What some interesting backstage writers have.

Speaker 12 (17:08):
They Yeah, they're notoriously demanding, are they? Yea them and
Van Halen with a no Brown mmms and yeah, Metallica
and notoriously demanding for their backstage riding writers and what
the venue has to provide.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I did see that movie. I did watch that movie
when they're all in therapy. Did you ever see that?

Speaker 12 (17:30):
Yeah, yeah, I had seen. I had none of it.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, it's pretty good watch that. Actually, I think I
think they're a lot. I think they're a lot more
sensible now, I would.

Speaker 12 (17:37):
Hope so that they're not. They're not as demanding. People
like David Bowie were not really demanding, but other people
like Metallica Van Halen are extraordinarily demanding.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I think, I think Glenn, that there are a number
of bands that asked for only brown Eminem's and something
like that, and from what I understand, stay with me
with this one. The only reason they did that because
you'd know instantly if they'd read the Rider and done

(18:09):
everything on it. So as soon as you'd arrived, if
the Eminem's were just brown, you knew that that actually
honored the Rider and they'd read it properly. That's my understanding.

Speaker 12 (18:19):
That's my that's my understanding of it as well. Now,
getting back to a word that we have that has
sort of gone out of common usage. Back in the
late seventies and early eighties, we used to use the
word manus a lot. Yeah, thats embarrass your embarrassment or
your manus yourself the other day.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
It was the worst, wasn't it? The mana your manus?

Speaker 12 (18:42):
Yeah, and it's got running while it's really out of favor.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
It was a good word and you felt like, I mean,
you know, if you're manis you no doubt that it
wasn't a good thing?

Speaker 12 (18:52):
No, No, you felt quite stink about it. Yeah, it's
a word I haven't heard for yet for the probably
decades now.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Know it was spelled well, I guess it was m
A R N I s is it your manus?

Speaker 12 (19:03):
Yeah? Or an us? I don't think there were even
was a spelling.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I don't think it was something that was written down.
It was just said, wasn't it. I'll do some research
into that, Glenn, thank you. I won't call you manus
oh a terrible word. That's my generation, the manus manus,
your manus. I still got a bit of force to it.
I think it was very much a key we thing too,

(19:30):
that's my understanding of it. Your manus a Hetel twelve
if you want to be a part of it. Of
course they're still replaying that rugby boy boy, I've read
a bit about the rugby today. Gee, everyone's got an
opinion haven't they who? dB Marcus, Welcome good.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I've got three words that I'm vigorously working on bringing
back into the Rexican and with summer coming on. The
first one is a pricity. It's just the feeling of
sunshine on your skin. What's it called a pricity?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Like it? Sunshine on your skin?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yep, the feeling of normally winter sunshine on your skin,
but sunshine on your skin as a as a feeling
that it's hard to give a word for, but there
is one for and it's a word.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I like it.

Speaker 12 (20:23):
Spell it for me a p R.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
I why it's not.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
It's not as complicated as your thought to because you're
saying it sounds comic. Actually it's quite easy to It's
only it's only a innately a The word the warmth
of sun on a summer's day.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah. The next word gold goozling.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Hang on sounds like it sounds like it be waitning
a long time for this topic.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
These are three words, Like I said that, I'm trying
to get back into normal use. And that's something you
probably do if you ever sit on a bank somewhere
and look out to see watching boats or seagulls or
just daydreaming, and that's that's an old Bookshire where the
gong goozle so well. Sitting number, especially the banks of

(21:14):
a river and just watching life go by is gonoozling.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
It does say in the AI. It's just particularly canals.
But I guess you can kind of take that extend that,
can't you your gong goosel?

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yeah? And the last one is pandiculation is what?

Speaker 11 (21:35):
Sorry?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Pandiculation? And there's something the morning.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let me just see if I can guess what that is.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, I'll give it.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Are it's like waking up, is it?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
No, it's the stretch and newn at the same time.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Okay, I think we've all done that.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yeah, so that that's the act of pendiculation.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
The word I like, And this is a sensitive for
people that I've just discovered. And you need to block
your ears. Do you know what the original name for
the common kestrel was.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Wasn't it the wind something?

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
I won't use the second half the.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, I'll say it. And that's what the bird was
always called. And I thought it might have been a
transitliteration from it, but it's a wind fucker, yeah, which
is a great name for a bird. I think it
used to because it flaps, it flaps assiduously, but it
used to be called a wind sucker. But it's it's
been transposed and that's the that's that's what it's called
a wind fucker. That's a kistrel.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
The original name for penguin was asked foot.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh yes, really? Okay, yeah, so that's the do we
have them here? That common? Kiss? Are they in New Zealand?
I'd like to start using I'd like to start using that.
I'd like to start using that more more more regularly. Actually,
it's a good word, isn't it windsucker. Let's call at that.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, yeah, you tried that in the local superrac when
you're looking for a bit of a prison mulletbird. What
says the birds you kept from the island down there?

Speaker 2 (23:21):
A mutton bird?

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Mutton bird? Yes, we could rename it that and see
how that goes down to the local super bracket.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Very good, dB, Okay, thank you for that. Twenty six
away from nine, No complaints, but here we go. Come
through if you want to talk tonight, oh wait, ird
eighty today nine two nine to detect, looking forward to
what you've got to say Scott's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (23:45):
Yeah, hi Marcus, just calling with a bit more information
about the Van Halen and the brown m and ms
that you mentioned.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Sure, I don't even know if brown was the right color.
Was it?

Speaker 13 (23:56):
Good question it was brown or blue? But but I
mean you you were right. It was just done, as
I guess, a litmus testasy Immediately if the entire raid.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Had been read and itt and it got it got
taken as shorthand for a band that was so seduced
with fame, they did ridiculous things. But that yeah, it
was misinterpreted exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (24:15):
Yeah, it was seen as the like the original kind
of diva move, I.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Guess, Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 13 (24:21):
But it was actually a safety thing because when Van Halen,
you know, we're starting in the eighties playing and you know,
basketball arenas and indoor stadiums and stuff, they were you know,
they were among the first bands to do that and
be taking hundreds of tons of equipment into places where
that had never been done before. And obviously, you know,
there's a safety you.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Know, I see. So it so it's not just the
rider for your drinks, it's the rider for the whole
set up of the gear and everything. Is that right?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (24:50):
It was like, if they're bringing in trucks into you know,
into a basketball arena that's got fifty tons of equipment
on it, they want to know that that, you know
that the floor has been checked for, you know that
it's going to handle the load and all this kind
of stuff. And they thought, well, if they read the
whole thing properly, there's not going to be any brown
in many And if we go in there and we
see the brown uminems, we're going to know immediately that
they haven't looked at the more serious issues, you know.

(25:12):
And so that was an instant way to see how
much attention they were was being paid. Because obviously, if
someone gets the wrong call aminems, it doesn't really affect anyone.
But if they're ignoring, you know stuff, what you know,
sort of safety and setting out the show properly, then
that can be have disastrous consequences.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Are you in that, Scott? Do you know that because
you're in that? Are you in that that business?

Speaker 6 (25:36):
No?

Speaker 13 (25:36):
I just I just I've read a lot of books
about fans and rock and roll and that whole that
whole stuff fascinates me.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So what what was the bands. What was the band
Scott you said?

Speaker 13 (25:46):
And Halen?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
So they were the first with that, they were the
first with that rider.

Speaker 13 (25:52):
Yeah, I mean my understanding is that they were kind
of the what do you call it, just like the
painears of some of those massive stage shows, you know,
with tons of speakers and tons of equipment, where that
hadn't necessarily been done before.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Ye are you opti Metallica?

Speaker 8 (26:11):
I am?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
What's the plan.

Speaker 13 (26:16):
To go and watch Metallica?

Speaker 10 (26:17):
Again?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're fantastic, but do you are you worried about getting
out of the stadium at night? Are you going to
pin a uber or anything like that?

Speaker 12 (26:26):
No?

Speaker 13 (26:27):
I mean the train stations right there, so.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
You're you'res a normal person.

Speaker 13 (26:32):
Yeah, No, I mean it's it's you know, they're not
what they're doing. There's been enough events at Eden Parking,
Auckland Transport on it. In West case, you have to
wait for half an hour to get on a train,
that's a lot better than walking for half an hour.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
And I imagine most of the car I imagine.

Speaker 13 (26:47):
And then stuck on the motorway.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
And it'scott imagine most of the trains would be going
most of the passages would be going west from there,
wouldn't they.

Speaker 13 (26:54):
I think there's probably alone. But but like when I've
been to the rugby and stuff at eden Park, what
they do is, I mean, I know you're familiar with
obviously with the Auckland rail network. Is that the trains,
So they do two trains. You know, there's the double
tracks and they do trains going both directions on both
sides of the track. So if you're going east towards
the city, you get on at Kingsland and you can

(27:16):
get on either platform, and then if you're going west,
you walk down to the morning side and you get
on either platform, so they can have you know, double
trains going in both directions at the same time.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I think for on Wednesday, I think Eden Park will
spiritually be part of West Aukland, won't it.

Speaker 12 (27:31):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (27:31):
Absolutely, yeah, I know, I know exactly what you're saying,
but I hate to get in the technical info as well.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
You know, good on your complete call, Scott got on
everything like he's been fact checked, brilliant, twenty to nine
good texts. I'll get to those. Milo, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (27:48):
Yeah, Hi, how's it going good?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Oh good?

Speaker 8 (27:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (27:52):
Metallica, Yeah, so it's like over thirty five years back,
I would have been fourteen in East Auckland, just by
next to Metterbank and my east Or neighbor they had
a much speaker house, swimming pool, spapool and the.

Speaker 13 (28:09):
Guy there, the son, he was a year older.

Speaker 14 (28:12):
And met up with him and went over and he
introduced me to first and foremost guns and Roses, and
I thought, oh, gosh, you know, welcome to the jungle
and Paradise City, and you know, I thought that was great.
And then then it evolved to Metallica and you know,
high energy rock metal.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
That was great.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
And then he started trying to bring in you know,
a Slayer, Mega Death, Cannibal Corpse, Motorhead, and I was like, no, no, no, no,
that's that's just ridiculous, and that sort of guy. You know,
he introduced me to a little bit of cannabis and

(28:59):
that was horrible. But now, you know, back then I
thought ye had guns and roses and Metallica, that's good,
but all the rest of it was just just diabolical.
But now, when later on in life you listen to
the lyrics and you look at closely at Metallica, You've

(29:20):
got songs like Trapped under the Ice. You've got Rye
the Lightning, which is electrics. Here, you've got the song one,
which is all about you know, losing my limbs and
being trapped in hell. I mean, yeah, the stuff isn't
isn't really amazing if you ask me. And I think

(29:43):
it's it's a bad influence on our younger generation.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think, I don't think. I don't think there were
any young people there. Well who knows, but well, I'll
be surprised. I don't think they could afford it.

Speaker 14 (29:59):
Yeah, but when you get this older generation and they're
getting into it just just for the swing of the
uns in the beat, without really looking into what what
the lyrics are and what they're thinking about. What these
things you get transferred? These things you get transferred down
to the younger generations.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
What happened to almost Meadow back next door guy?

Speaker 15 (30:23):
I lost touch?

Speaker 14 (30:26):
Yeah no, no, yeah, I moved away from him and
well yeah.

Speaker 12 (30:32):
No, yeah, just.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I'm sure he's doing fine despite what you thought was
a bad influence. Well, who knows. I mean, so I
presume you're not going to You're not going tomorrow night?

Speaker 14 (30:48):
No, no, it won't be.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
What is the suburb next to meadow Bank, so I
thought it would have been nice to talk thank you
fourteen to nine. I'd like to hear that ridout and
arian Zi's Birds Sound of the Day. That's right, Piers.
I was in Poland visiting my family of Metallica's Black

(31:11):
album was released. Regards Kristen when we arrived from England.
The mid seventies were confused with the word skype for
chaff and hooray for goodbye. Did don't hear them now, Marcus?
When you're at school, what did your generation call it?
When you miss class on purpose? Marcus? We were also

(31:36):
talking about the things that were banned from your school,
the crazy things that were banned. This is interesting, Marcus.
I used brown laces in my regulation black school shoes,
had all sorts of strife, and finally it was banned.
I still kept using them. It was my strike against authority, Marcus.
When I was at Palmston North Boys High School, mohawk haircuts,
long side burns, mautzi toong red Chinese communist book and

(31:59):
cossack fluffy hat were all banned, as well as long
socks fallen down around your ankles. Metallica canceled last time
we went up from Greymouth Anyone and spent three nights
wandering around the bars at the Viaduct, amongst others, wearing
black jeans and black T shirts.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Brilliant.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I never bought Hell's Pizza for years. I've only had
it once. I'm not really that religious, but don't like
to invite myself to Hell. Marble's got banned after I
tripped on a marble and broke my arm. The following year.
Pokemon cards were banned the day after I finally wrote
my mother into buying me some. I'm still bitter in
my thirties, so what was banned? We're on about tonight,

(32:46):
also twelve away from nine. How are you? People have
enjoyed this hour very muchly Metallica to brown out augand
forty thousand wandering afterwards. Don't know where they'll be going.
There's a large warehouse on fire at portfoarng Arre Kiori

(33:07):
roa road to third alarm fire, two story commercial address.
That's news that's just come through. Bringing that now to
you for the first time. That's what's happening. If I
got other news to you, I'll bring that to you.
This atmospheric river's heading Auckland trag it's right down the

(33:30):
country the atmospheric river, large mess of range currently affecting
Auckland the lower north and progressing southeast towards the Bay.
That's the plenty of Bay Bay of twenty ten to nine,
eight to nine here till twelve. Good evening, John, Oh,
hello Marcus.

Speaker 10 (33:47):
Talking about things being banned, I can remember the first
book that was placed before the publications tribunal to see
whether it would pass, and it was a book called
Another Country, written by James Baldwin. And there was when

(34:16):
I bought it, of course, I was about eighteen, and
I walked past witcam in terms in christ Church and
saw it in the window, and it was all being publicized,
and because it was the first book ever let through
and under this form of censorship, and when I read it,

(34:42):
I thought, what's the big fuss? There was only one
line in it that I would describe as being a
bit risque, and it was referring to the mail said
and she carried me as the sea there is a boat,

(35:08):
and was obviously referring to their love making. But it
was it was so mild in today's world. But that's
just a little bit of trivia for you tonight, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Was there someone driving it's Benning?

Speaker 10 (35:31):
Well, I don't know there was. I can't recall who
set up the publications tribunal, but things like.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Well that Patricia Barlett was always big on that sort
of stuff, wasn't she?

Speaker 10 (35:47):
Oh yeah, she was probably promoting it. She was relentless, Yes, yes,
lost cause of course.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Well you might say that, but I guess that, I
mean she was. I guess she was well intentioned, but
slightly interfering I think would be the Yeah, she was.
I think she came from was she in none or
she came from a deep religious background?

Speaker 10 (36:13):
I think yes she did. But the book itself, I
actually leant it to a friend of mine and never
bloody all got it back.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
You even know if they don't return them because they've
never read them, or because they enjoyed it too much?
Always hard to tell, U, Isn't.

Speaker 10 (36:30):
It Never lend a book to anybody because you'll seldom
get it.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Back seldom, And I don't know why, because it's always
a great thing to lead a book, because I hope
people enjoy it. But is it's hard to get them
back because it's not really worth asking for them back
because you feel a bit sort of mean spirited.

Speaker 10 (36:48):
Well, once you've read a book, you've read it. I
suppose I think you'd.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Like to go back to that. I think you also
often to see you sort of yeah. I think it
makes you feel good to see your kind of your
literary journey on your shelves. Maybe.

Speaker 10 (36:59):
Yes, yes, I'm actually reading a book for the second time.
It's oh, what's that Scottish comedian what's his name? Yeah,
Billy Connley, written by his wife, Pamela Stephenson. It's a
good yarn.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Is it his biography by her?

Speaker 10 (37:18):
Yes, yes, it's it's her commentary on living with an
eccentric comedian?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Is he genuinely eccentric or just.

Speaker 10 (37:32):
Oh yeah, well.

Speaker 9 (37:35):
Billy was.

Speaker 10 (37:38):
Is my mother would say slightly touched?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
I don't know, yeah, okay, yeah, I would be interested
in reading that. But John, thank you for that. Just
two away from nine So the weather's not great for
metallic at the borrow night also too, so I don't
know what that's I guess it's rain or shine they
will play. Would you take a bit? I take a raincoat.
Don't buy one of those terrible plastic recyclable throw away things,

(38:02):
I voiced and that's a huge waste, all those plastic
bags that they sell. Yeah, I mean it's warm. It's
it's going to be a warm It's going to be
a warm rain anyway. Marcus flew in from Sydney last night.
Got the train from Sydney CBD to Wileye Creek. Absolute
game changer. Thank you, one of my favorite walks. I
love that past or, the bin chickens, the ibists across

(38:23):
that bridge. Oh they're nothing like Walleye Creek. Change your
trip to Sydney. But finally someone's listening to me. Marcus
was the book Lady Chattley's love of the first book
band in his in we can look into that. Marcus.
I tuned in late to the conversation. But if that
caller was saying Metallic had lyrics with messages of the

(38:44):
dangerous to the youth, he needs to listen to the
meaning properly. Songs about how crap war is, how bad
drugs are, how dangerous trusting in God above medical help
can be Shesh, shesh, that's from Steve. Tell that nod
that Metallica could have probably sold ten concerts around his
and he sells like the dude that's sad at the
bar while everyone else is going hard. So inteid almost

(39:09):
meadow Bank is probably a CEO or university professor. Now,
I'm sure he would be. Now there was quite generous
with his music and his rumpus room to the neighbor.
Would I thought? That's my take on it. I'm enjoying
the texts Marcus. I'm thirty seven, Wellington College.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Lad.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
We use the word skucks daily, no longer used. Apparently
it's not a word I've ever he used apart from
reading it. Then he till twelve. Do you want to
be a part of it? I've just been looking about
the Metallica pop up shop that's in Auckland. I'll tell
you what's a big deal. So I didn't know. I mean,

(39:49):
merchandise is not my thing, but gee, there's a huge
amount of merchandise for sow. There's two stories of shops
set up specifically for Metallica on Tomorrow night, t shirts, records,
big posters. It's be a hassle though, if he came
all that way from Metallica and it to by You
want to travel light for travel drag merchandise around with you?

(40:10):
Would you? I don't know people are different these days.
I'm someone that's never owned a suitcase, so I don't
know how people travel. But yeah, people kind of travel
a lot of stuff these days. But if I was
going up to Walkland from Metallic, I'd try and keep
it loose. You got to be light like a commando.
That'd be my take on it. But yeah, you might
have gone to that shop telling me what that is like.
That's pretty interesting because people must spend thousands on merchandise now.

(40:32):
I don't quite know why. I guess people think I
get some closer to the music if they actually can
wear the T shirt and have the posters and things
like that. It's something that I've never ever been drawn to.
But yeah, I'm not That said without judgment, but good
on you. But yeah, there we go. There is a
shop that's opened for three days if you want to
go there and spend all your money. I suppose these
days people are spending so much to go to concerts

(40:53):
because so many people are traveling to them because running
in Auckland that I guess that makes it a bigger
deal and you want to kind of have something to
remember it. By Marcus, my mother in laways, call a
drunk person shickered. It's a good word, shicked. I think
it's still very effective. I think you said someone shickered,
you know what they were, You know that they were drunk. Marcus.

(41:16):
I loving you when I discovered recently Gubian origin. Morgan
muffle someone who is grumpy in the morning. You Morgan Muffles.
We are talking tonight about all manner of things. It's
all been good. I forget what they are. We're doing
about things that were banned at your school. So what
was banned at your school? I imagine what most people
say will be big time wrestling marbles. What schools love

(41:41):
to ban is anything that encourages people to steal stuff,
which I think normalus a eupheism for people actually lose
it and then actually tell their parents it's been stolen.
So there's that. And also we are talking about Metallica,
which is on tomorrow night. Forty thousand people eaton park
Etly starts five point thirty. I think the forecast is

(42:01):
for an Actually I look at the forecast because something,
I mean, you'll know anyway if you're going, but it'll
be warm and wet probably, So what do you do
about that? Would you wear a wetsuit unlikely. Would I
wear a wetsuit? Unlikely. I'll check the forecast for you people.
I'll let you know. Come through if you want to
talk eight hundred and eighty today. You enjoyed the night
very much, so let's be hearing from you the thing

(42:24):
else manners. Let me just check out the weather forecast forever,
sort of work out how to push the buttons Walkland,
New Zealand. What's wet today and tomorrow? Goodness me should clear?
Should clear? It's wet morning. It's a wet day, but

(42:45):
should clear. For Metallica, that's what right about? If you
want to be in touch with the show where I
talk about words that have words that have disappeared, things
that were banned from your school, any other topics we
had go in but going around there and riders for bands, yes,
and the eminem ones well, I think was extremely, extremely
well explained by Scott. One of the best explanations I've

(43:09):
heard on radio from a guy that you were stuff,
which I'm always impressed by. So come through if you
want to add to these discussions anything else you want
to mention. That's what I'm here for tonight, and I
will keep you updated with the news throughout the next time.
The atmospheric river is about to hit Auckland, or was
about to rehit Auckland. That's happening. Also big fire and fang.

(43:32):
They are saying toxic, toxic smoke blowing out. Don't think
it's under controlled yet. It looks like it's free wet
up there. Also looking at the photo image of that
and there's rain on the lens. Seven twenty five. They've
phoned that in commercial a dress bigmmusia dress twenty meters
by thirty meters and what is in it? Seanotte Watson

(43:52):
that what would cause that smoke so big orange build.
He doesn't say what was in the warehouse, but yeah,
that's what we're on about tonight. So yes, twelve past nine.
If you want to join the discussion, embrace you tonight,
eagerly embrace you to come through and have your say
tonight if you want to be a part of it. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty things that were banned. You'll
have some good ones about band at your school, I'm
sure of it. And your strategy for tomorrow night for

(44:15):
metallic and particularly if you're traveling up or down to
walk a louts know how that's worked out for you. Yes,
so yes, if you want to talk so we are
about tonight. I'm looking forward to what you've got to say.
Anything else you want to mention too, feel free to
come through. I'm sure there's other news that's happened that
you've taken your fancy, but that things that's banned. Will

(44:37):
be very keen to talk about. Would love to hear
from you, and yeah, let's be come on eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. I guess the rains are going to
help with the traffic tod It's going to be for
re every wet tomorrow too, so it might be worth
if you're going to commute home to go earlier avoid
that area. That's the whole area and even park certain

(44:59):
roads closed will be traffic management and play for that.
No surprise is there. It's what they need to do.
I guess the good thing is that they've got people
there to do that. Manager don't who pays for the management,
don't know how that works if the venue pays for it. Yes,
that's something you might want to say and talk about tonight,
So change talking about the All blacks AA. Although I imagine

(45:21):
they'll be more discussions after the match against Wales on
Sunday morning. Yep, here's an interesting article. There are university students,
students from the University of Auckland. Right, they're managing to
turn old loaves of bread into flour. Pretty interesting, isn't

(45:44):
it they Colleck the left, I have reread the supermarket.
What they do is they put it in a dryer
millet and eventually you'll have your bread flour. For goodness,
say whatever next. The bread's not moldy, by the way,
it's just not at its best. Fourteen past nine, Harry,
this is Marcus. Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 16 (46:04):
The Marcus go into a district high school and they
banned long here. Wow, they banned long here, and you
weren't to let it come to school if you had
long here?

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Did they measure it?

Speaker 7 (46:20):
Na? Na?

Speaker 16 (46:21):
I mean by his eyesight. You you have to admit anything.

Speaker 12 (46:25):
Blow.

Speaker 16 (46:26):
I think it was your collar anything blow. Your collar
was too long.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I think they're still quite tough on here. I think
you've got to have you here. If it's longer than
that boy or girl, it's got to be tied up.

Speaker 17 (46:38):
I can't quite wi country.

Speaker 16 (46:40):
This is in the country. But I mean to say, yeah,
what do you have to have short hair in the
country for no idea?

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Did you did you cope or did you leave school?

Speaker 13 (46:58):
No?

Speaker 16 (46:59):
No, I was a little bit younger, but my brother
was a little bit older than me, and he actually
was told to go to the head master. And I
think he threw the headmaster.

Speaker 8 (47:12):
Over the disk.

Speaker 16 (47:14):
Wow, because he wasn't going to cut skire.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Fair enough makes sense a true fast Thank you, Harry Treva.
This is Marcus.

Speaker 13 (47:22):
Good evening, Hello Marcus, how are you.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Good, Triva? What's happening? Oh?

Speaker 18 (47:28):
I just wanted to ask you a question about this
concert tomorrow night at Auland sure?

Speaker 16 (47:33):
What did you say? The band's name was Marcus Metallica.

Speaker 18 (47:40):
I guess, Oh that's interesting. They might have ever heard
of them myself? Have they What sort of music do
they play?

Speaker 19 (47:46):
Max?

Speaker 2 (47:47):
You probably have? You got the internet?

Speaker 10 (47:50):
No?

Speaker 18 (47:51):
Not really? What tell me about Wallace?

Speaker 2 (47:54):
How old are you, Tip, triv What are you born?

Speaker 18 (47:59):
Oh? Gosh, that's giving you a way a few secrets there.
Marcus nineteen forty eight?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
How old does that make you?

Speaker 18 (48:05):
Seven?

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah? And what island do you live in?

Speaker 18 (48:11):
I live in the south Land. I don't think we
get the metallic cars down here much. I don't know anyway,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 10 (48:23):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 18 (48:24):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
I don't think. I mean, there are a band that's
been a long around for a long long time. They've
been around for probably nearly fifty years. They're not this
is not a new and this is not a new
and unheard of band. This is a band that's probably
had many different chapters in their life, and this is
this is Yeah, this is not something that's a surprise

(48:45):
band or anything. Have you heard of the Have you
heard of the Bed? Have you heard of the Beg's?

Speaker 18 (48:51):
Oh yes, of course, Marcus says, how Deeper You'll Love?
And lots of the songs, lovely songs.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Have you have you heard of you Two? No?

Speaker 18 (49:04):
They maybe are they Irish? Respect I think.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Have you heard of the Rolling Stones?

Speaker 17 (49:13):
Of course?

Speaker 18 (49:16):
Jegger, Yes, wonderful. But anyway, I just wanted to.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I imagine the average age of people Metallica would be
in their late fifties.

Speaker 12 (49:30):
Oh really, I think so.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yes, they're people that discovered them in the early eighties.
They've been around for a long They just don't come
to New Zealand that often they probably come well, they
sort of fell apart for a while and they've reformed,
and I think they have two about every ten years.

Speaker 18 (49:46):
That's probably why they don't come all that off and
that Well, what we do.

Speaker 20 (49:50):
We do have a lovely time.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
You want to get it right? Dad, you're wear an adult.
Are you going for drinks with a close place close
to Whedon Park?

Speaker 12 (52:51):
No?

Speaker 19 (52:51):
No, I was going to sort of hang around around
where I am and the Oregon at four apart.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah you're not going to go No, No, I don't
mind the town.

Speaker 19 (53:02):
I do and I don't, but just the whole concert
these days and Jews and yeah, you know, you know
it makes them list a lot EASi. If I could
drop them off to pack them up, you know.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
It's much better with cell phone doesn't because once upon
a time your bogan mates had come up from Parma
stores and get lost and never see them again. You
be wandering around the viaduct. Where's the pickup point? Have
you got a place you go to pick them up?
After the concert?

Speaker 19 (53:25):
Eat clarks any well, but you can get so clime
the Vacan road. They stopped you going down for their
last wall back. Kids, be somewhere around you.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
You want they want to, you want about they want?
You want about a twenty minute walk away from them
and you can actually be somewhere where you know that's
what you want to do, don't you that it's sober upper.

Speaker 19 (53:44):
But yeah, yeah no, yeah, they want to leave with
a drink in their hands, the one drinking time to
run under service.

Speaker 17 (53:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Have they talked about going to the to the merchandise shop.

Speaker 21 (53:58):
Oh, they'll be.

Speaker 19 (53:59):
That's that's what I'm That's what I requested. I said,
I just want to a T shirt?

Speaker 12 (54:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Is it your feet?

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Is it your feet? Because you lose a day's wages,
aren't you.

Speaker 19 (54:08):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't mind, as I quite enjoyed it.
Stuff like that. People, but they've got that. We've got
the Metallic and Shoot T shirts from the last time,
you know, so it's like a real you know, the
more fatal than the more rut and the tiers. Yeah,
I it's a great Metallica T shirt. Second, I know
what happens that I love to time.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
The design of the T shirt doesn't I mean not
the cut of the T shirt doesn't change, does it.

Speaker 19 (54:33):
No, it's all the printing. But I like the older ones.
You know, you can sort of just tell they're older,
and if you got one, that's sort of I think
it showed you a true blue fan, you know.

Speaker 12 (54:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
I don't know how they going to do eating Pack
because it seems to be it's not a band that
would work in the round, is it. It's not like
you want them to be at one end and you
be looking out at them, wouldn't you? Is it the
way they did? I imagine?

Speaker 19 (54:57):
Yeah, I went to eat Sheer and yeah, and it's
like it's not really I mean, the last real good
consequent was Wish Springs at DC. You know, that was
active to ben you an all.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Yeah, what did your Bourgon mates come up for that?

Speaker 12 (55:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:12):
For that?

Speaker 19 (55:12):
But yeah, I think that was the last couple. I
really enjoyed it, fantastic, you know.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
But yeah, us, you wonder when I leave Palmerston North
if they're up here all the time.

Speaker 19 (55:22):
Oh, you know, they don't come over with the time
and stuff that we don't get much down in party.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
For no are they in the city or their country
folk in the.

Speaker 19 (55:30):
City all the cheap for people and catch them back,
you know. Yeah, it's nice to bring back there.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
The old days, you know, fancing a WhatsApp? What are
you a part of the WhatsApp?

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Ja?

Speaker 19 (55:44):
Yeah, it's gone to the point to where I'm out.
I can't, I can't really, you know.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Okay, and there's four there's four in the car?

Speaker 21 (55:53):
Is there.

Speaker 20 (55:55):
People?

Speaker 19 (55:56):
And they got seven feet pack?

Speaker 4 (55:59):
How much the back?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
But yeah, yeah, so I guess I guess the hollow tomorrow. Murdoch,
thanks for that.

Speaker 15 (56:05):
I wait.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
One hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine text
by the way, Trevor, bless them well, Trevor, Ah, Trevor, Trevor, Trevor, Trevor, Trevor.
I think Trevor's Mark. I think Trevor's a real estate
agent from Balcluther. So you in a bit a bit
of a tricky there anyway, not in the seventies, not

(56:25):
that I wouldn't imagine, but get in touch, keep those
texts coming through. What is this Metallica? Metallic car? I
think that was the thing that gave him away. Cliff
Richard was fantastic. His voice is strong, brilliant, becking museoh's
and lighting by forty year old. Forty one year old
son is taking his fourteen year old son to see
Metallica tomorrow night, and my grandson is so excited he

(56:49):
plays the music on his guitar. From the Far North Marcus.
The book The Love Story was moved from our high
school library when the teachers learned the word if you
see K appeared in at once. No one cared about
the book, but we're still outraged, as only teenagers can
be so. Later on in the year, some of my
classmates gifted Harold Robin books to the school. On book Day,

(57:12):
the deputy head was holding one as she thanked everyone
in the school hall for the generosity. While speaking, she
flicked opened the book, glanced down, went sally kept reading.
Her face was a picture as she walked off the
stage without finishing a sentence. Needless to say, Harold Robbins
never made it into our library. That's from Kate Marcus.
My mates and I have done a roadie to Auckland
from Queenstown for Metallica. Tomorrow night we will be rocking

(57:35):
out rock on Marcus. Something different. I went to the
Swiss Delhi and Auckland today, bought a bunch of stuff.
Totally great. I'll be back there Off and chairs Frank
his car. Mike is here. Mr get caught in the
combine harvester. Luction should try to figure out why starting
in the polls changed his crack record, blaming the previous government.

(57:55):
He'll be gone soon. Marcus. I must say thank you
to the lady who said the only way to crumb
schnitzel and fishes to use a fork. I've been doing
it for the last few months, and what helpful tip
that was, John John John Marcus. Cliff Richard christ its
town hall tomorrow night, several of us traveling from Graymouth, Gary.

(58:18):
What would you get for the Cliff Cliff Richards merchandise?
What would that be to everything you'd get? I don't
know what would be the Cliff Richard merchandise. I think
there's a throw blanket, whatever, that is probably doing edge.
Probably do an advent calendar. He'd twelve. You want to
be part of it? God Murdoch sounds like the world's

(58:41):
best mate, doesn't he You're not being tricky. He is
out there helping his mates. Oh you Trevor, John, this
is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 8 (58:51):
Good?

Speaker 9 (58:51):
Oh how are you doing good?

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Thank you John? How are you doing all right?

Speaker 9 (58:54):
Did you remember Ginger Ryan in Riverstowe who was a mechanic,
had a garage.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Not Ginger Iron.

Speaker 9 (59:04):
Yeah, he's called a care go down there, all sorts
of got up to all sorts of pranks and a
lot of beard. Oh, got a lot of beard.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
The pad heh like a drinker.

Speaker 9 (59:17):
Oh well, no, he wasn't a drinker, but he was
a mechanic and the garage and he used to go
excursions to Tiana and Manaporean stuff to do what. You
don't know them, You don't know the name.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
It sounds like you sort of go off. I knew
you'd know him. It doesn't sound like a guy you'd forget.

Speaker 9 (59:37):
Uh, Ginger Ryan Ryan?

Speaker 10 (59:41):
All right?

Speaker 2 (59:42):
I n d oh.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
What I'm saying is I think probably if i'd seen him,
would have remembered him, So it can't be something I
would know.

Speaker 9 (59:50):
Oh I just thought you might have run across him
because he's died.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Has he died today or something?

Speaker 10 (59:55):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (59:56):
Yeah, he's gone a long time.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Long What time would he gone? Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:00:01):
Probably ten twelve year ago?

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Would you come across them?

Speaker 9 (01:00:07):
I'm his cousin. Oh yeah, his mother and my father
were sister and brother.

Speaker 11 (01:00:16):
Yeah. Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Are you from Riversdale?

Speaker 12 (01:00:19):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:00:19):
No, I'm in bell now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Oh you got a clue. How has it been there today?

Speaker 12 (01:00:23):
All right?

Speaker 9 (01:00:24):
Oh it's been a nice day.

Speaker 17 (01:00:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Is it no rain?

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
No rain?

Speaker 9 (01:00:30):
No, just nice day. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
Good on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
You're nice to hear from you. John. Thank you. That
twenty had away from ten. So you don't know what
the what the Cliffridge and merchandise is. I'm just about
the through of the love story. Marcus Lucky mctallica is
not playing tonight. Still tickets for Auckland trade me. Thank you.

(01:00:54):
Someone's saying TV sets at the retirement village next door
a frozen due to rain fade. I can see four
TVs from my kitchen when they're all stuck on ads.
Got a feel for them. Those TVs are up to
odd for up to twenty hours per day, Retocent Luke's
Morningside in Auckland. There's a river of rain, just NonStop
mac anyway, Mark, has anyone been listening online? And christ

(01:01:17):
Church been getting in the cargo ads on iHeartRadio since
the new app updated Goo setting normal and set for
christ Church will still only get ads for South into Cargo.
A lot of full on rocky jingles, by the way,
But sick of the all a carpetads? Well, I'm very
fond of the La carpetad in the And what happened

(01:01:38):
with the La carpetad is that the they move premises
and they got the original guy who sang the original
jingle from the seventies to re sing the jingle with
a new address in it. So yeah, that's commitment. One
of the great jingles or a one of the great
regional jingles. What will be happening there?

Speaker 22 (01:01:56):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
What it will probably bears your phone's location settings. They
might need a bit of a tickl up because you're
clearly not in vert cargo.

Speaker 12 (01:02:09):
They are.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
They were selling Cliff Richard T shirts on Friday night
in Auckland. That's from Kathy. Remember when Cliff Fridgard got
a number one song by singing Old Langs singing the
Lord's Prayer to the tune of Old Lang's Eye. That
was like the original mesh up, wasn't it. I don't
think he'd sing that of the concert. Wasn't exactly a banger,

(01:02:31):
But I think he's in a number one hit in
seven different decades or something extraordinary. Marcus. I bought a
mug and fridge magnet at the Cliff Richard concert. Have
the T shirt from nineteen ninety five, didn't I guess
a fridge magnet. That's a pretty useful souvenir, isn't it.
I don't think Metallica would do fridge magnets. Maybe they will,
maybe they won't. Twenty five away from ten. If you

(01:02:52):
want to talk about anything else tonight, I embrace you
and put eight hundred and eighty to only nine nine
to text get in touch if you want to talk
Kettel twelve. So the millennium here is the name of
Cliff Richard singing the Lord's Prayer Old Lang sign. Someone
has texted me. They said, yes they did, they did
play that. Yes he did sing that on Friday night.

(01:03:15):
Thank you for that. And also Murdoch's texted forgot to
mention there is a Live three sixty group as well,
so we can monitor each other's movements down to a
meet at current location, so slightly south of Hamilton at
the moment, so they're able to see where they are
on Live through sixty to work out where they are
after the concert. Great thing about cell phones, it's much

(01:03:36):
better for picking up people after concerts. I don't want
to sound like a watered down nostalgia ham but once
upon a time we'd say to people, you'd be on holiday,
you'd be in Queenstowners somewhere, and you'd say, look, i'll
meet you. I'll meet you at one o'clock one in
the morning on New Year's and we'll meet at the Cenotaph.
And that worked. Quinde of amazing. Isn't it that people
manage to just meet people? Marcus? We left Levin just

(01:04:02):
before six am this morning and got to walking around
midday for the concert tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Night.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Was the quickest drive to aukl Love done. There was
barely any traffic. Have you been to the souvenir shop?
Marcus clifted the Lord's Prayer to Old Langs out of
the Willing and Content last night. He was fantastic, blowing away,
blowing away, what a performer. We are talking about things
that were banned at school when you were at school.

(01:04:31):
It's always the same thing, isn't it, marbles, bull rush,
fainting games, although I imagine there's some regional regional differences,
so school bannings bannings. Also tonight we are talking about
words that no longer anyone uses. And your plans for

(01:04:52):
Metallica tomorrow night, forty thousand people in Auckland for that,
I would imagine they would play for a while too,
because their songs aren't short. I mean with bands like Metallic,
you can see all they are setlists from the tour,
so you probably not what's going I presume this is
part of a major tourist, so people probably will know
pretty much the setlist and what they're going to actually

(01:05:12):
songs they're going to do. That would be my inference,
because I mean, there's great. That's one thing the internet
is great for is that it's called the seventy two
World Tour.

Speaker 21 (01:05:28):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Although started the Houston concert was doing ACDC cover A
Long Way to the Top. Oh yeah, they play about
twenty songs. Maybe they do mix up a bit twenty
to ten if you want to talk on air, eight
hundred and eighty to any one of Marcus welcome, and
nine to nine to de text. If you want to
text through, we'd like to hear from you. Someone said

(01:05:55):
they were a band from Stamp collecting the library because
it made too much noise. Oh this is interesting. Yeah,
I'm wondering because Dan's been alerting me to this. This
is from Meredith.

Speaker 12 (01:06:06):
Arc Is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
This ran in Auckland feels just like it did in
the Auckland floods. It's steady and you don't notice, but
after some hours you realize that, gosh, it's still raining
and there haven't been any breaks of it. Hope it
easy overnight or else they might be problems. A good
show tonight. And that guy was having you on. He
has been a character, that's right. He thought he was
hilarious in a state aging kind of a way. But

(01:06:29):
that's fine.

Speaker 14 (01:06:31):
Um.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
The atmospheric River Greenheight Primary School early nineties banned us
playing Power Rangers too much fighting? Goodness? Was he fighting
in Power Ranges? It's a weird show Power Ranges, isn't it?
Because it's filmed in Auckland. But all the fights are
filmed in Japan. Felt about unhinged watching it. Actually, kids

(01:06:54):
were big on it for a while. Wasn't my jam?
Eighteen away from ten o'clock htel twelve sixteen away from ten,
Good evening, Mark, this is Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:07:08):
A fridge magnet is such an underrated gift. I truly
believe this. A friend of mine gave me one many
years ago, went went somewhere, he popped over to Australia.
This is jogging about a fridge magnet, and he did

(01:07:28):
book fridge magnet. And since then, whenever I pop into
places and I see them for sale for a couple
of bucks here or there, I'm purchased fridge magnets here
we go. They're just like I'll get ones of bands
that I like, or movies that I like, or just

(01:07:53):
places that I've been. And anything that gives me a
tickle makes me laugh. In many respects, it's like a
recurring gift every time you go to the fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
To be honest, can I just say, Mark, my experience
with fridge magnets has always been that they haven't been
fit for purpose. They haven't got enough attraction to hold
the bit of paper in steadfastly enough for my liking.
That they haven't really been they haven't really been fit
for purpose.

Speaker 23 (01:08:28):
Now I may be in a slightly unusual situation. I
can see where you is that you're probably dealing with
a bridge that's probably considerably newer than mine, with those
surfaces that they now have. Now, mine is the last
bridge that was ever made with a butter conditioner in it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
What yeah, wow, you can still afford you can still
afford the butter.

Speaker 23 (01:08:57):
Oh yeah, fantastic. It's it's like a it al f
u to the world's for energy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
But is it a calcinator? Yeah, probably, it's probably. It's
probably full of those hydro fluor of carbons are going
to blow the ozone layers, so aren't they.

Speaker 23 (01:09:17):
Oh look, I'll do my bit for the world collapse. Yeah,
why not?

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
That will be thirty years old.

Speaker 23 (01:09:24):
Must be easy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
And one of those is going to handle. You've got
to pull the handle that's got to handle.

Speaker 23 (01:09:30):
No, it's actually modern.

Speaker 12 (01:09:34):
Modern.

Speaker 23 (01:09:35):
It does have relatively familiar doors to everybody. They're old
the vintage that we now all.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Know, because they've got a freezer in the bottom as well.

Speaker 23 (01:09:46):
Though, Yes, that's the reason why I'm never going to
get rid of it. In many respects, the freezer is
so fantastic. Three layers to tray to big bins and
this level that you can put the pizzas and the

(01:10:08):
foot fish, everything in there. The bread in the sect.

Speaker 12 (01:10:11):
The third layer is so perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
It sounds like a for River fridge.

Speaker 23 (01:10:18):
People have said this to me. I would struggle to
part with it. I would struggle to.

Speaker 12 (01:10:26):
Part with it.

Speaker 23 (01:10:27):
I think I really would. You will new ones and
I can't see the reason.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
To know, nor can I. I'll talk you off the
ledge if you say you're gonna get you and you
need to stick with that.

Speaker 23 (01:10:38):
Thank you?

Speaker 8 (01:10:39):
Will you go?

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Will you go to Metallica tomorrow night?

Speaker 12 (01:10:43):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:10:43):
I saw them the night before McCartney in ninety three,
so they were at the Big Top and Macartney was
at the Springs and friends I was going to Everyone
was going to the cart and friends took me into
going at the last minute. Went along and I only
knew one A couple off the black am too. It

(01:11:05):
was good. They're really was it really was. I wouldn't
want to mess with that memory.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
Ah yes, so yeah, yeah, I mean you're stuck it,
You're stuck in the Age of your Frinds to aren't
You with your magnets and your one memory of Metallica?
In ninety three to peak, I wondered did they do
two nights? Do they do two nights at the book
I want the Mountain mount smart itself?

Speaker 13 (01:11:29):
Yeah, well that was the.

Speaker 22 (01:11:30):
Idea of this too. It was two nights too sick
to completely separate seats. But I think it's sort of
turned into in some locations as one big night and
look crowdle have a great time. You see the footage
online from Sydney the other night.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
I think it was was it less demand than they expected?
Do you think it might be the cost of it?

Speaker 12 (01:11:53):
And I think yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
And accommodation. I mean inands in New Zealand is what's
the words price gouging? Well, I don't think can say that.
I was going to say the word and there's no comma.
So you know, you suddenly get forty fives because mainly
a bit a lot of them will be out of
town as it suddenly it becomes difficult to find a
place to live.

Speaker 23 (01:12:14):
Well, people will probably do that. Yeah you don't. I
wouldn't want to really do it. But the drive up
drive back if.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
You do that, but also too, you don't. You don't
want to mean the orchan do with country relatives and
the only time you ever see them is coming up
for Bogan concerts and sort of you know, oh oh god,
it's our country relatives coming up again. Here they are,
you know, it's.

Speaker 23 (01:12:35):
True, unusual places and yeah, when they.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Dropped off and picked up and hangover Friday, hungover Friday morning.

Speaker 23 (01:12:46):
Middle aged power drinkers on a nostalgia trip. Yeah, oh
good lord. Hey, I do enjoy the calls from deep
Southland that you get that you people come in. It's
interesting to hear from places that I would never really
hear of about. Sort of I think you're influence and

(01:13:08):
in that spheed down there. It's cool.

Speaker 12 (01:13:11):
I like it.

Speaker 23 (01:13:12):
Nice Westland, Southland, we like the people.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
I'll take that. I'll take that. There's a one. Thank you, Mark.
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
I feel haunted every time I see fridge magnis. I
should be buying one for Mark. So I'm sure the
fridge is probably covered by now. Anyone out they're connecting,
tell me how many fridge mean that you've got, because
you can't reallycollect them because if you've got more than
a fridge, then what do you do.

Speaker 14 (01:13:33):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Seven from ten? We are talking metallica and things that
were banned from your school and words that are no
longer used. This is a three topic night, or it
could be a six topic night. Who knows in the
big city where we're going to go tonight? If you
want to talk about these things or anything else, humor me. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty. This is an interesting text,

(01:13:55):
is not to I'm picking this text? Isn't there? Marcus?
With opera Oprah moving to a smaller venue, does that
say her flame may have finally burned out? People have
finally woken up? What on earth does that mean? I
think they're probably the thing with Oprah is she's no
longer on the TV, so she hasn't got there that
presence that she had almost daily. I maage, you're still

(01:14:19):
a fairly influenced, influential media person and a big player. Marcus.
We've got names and labels for everything else. What do
you call the week between Christmas Day and New Year's Day?
Not many people countries call it Boxing Day either? Does
it need a name? It's a good point that anyway,
do come through if you want to talk, I wait

(01:14:40):
one hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
to text. Be in touch if you want to anything else,
you want to mention good, be nice to hear from you.
There's breaking news, will bring it to you. There's a
big fire and farg r and a president. This would
be a big story tomorrow. I can tell you that now.

(01:15:02):
I can imagine they'll be all over it on those
chummy panel time discussions they have on Radi D shows.
A prisoner is challenging an Australian states ban on inmates
eating vegimite, claiming in a court suit that withholding the
polarizing U space spread that most of the nation revers
as an Unfeedium aligned culary icon, breaches his human rights
to enjoy his culture as an Australian. Andre mckickney serving

(01:15:26):
a life sentence for murder, took his battle to the
Supreme Court of Victoria. While more than eighty percent of
Australia households west Way to have a jar of vegimite
in their pantries, inmates in all twelve prisons in Victoria
are going without VIGI. This is interesting. Veggi Might has
been banned from Victoria prisons Victorian prisons since two thousand

(01:15:48):
and six, with corrections Victoria saying it interferes with narcotic
detection dogs.

Speaker 12 (01:15:54):
Do we have it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
In New Zealand prisons, inmates used to smear packages illicit
drugs with vegimite and I hope the odor will distract
the dogs from the contraband. Vegimite also contains yeast, which
is banned from Victoria presents because it was potentially be
used to the practs of alcohol and the act that
is challenging. It guarantees all persons with the particular cultural, religious,
racial linguistic background the right to enjoy their culture, to

(01:16:17):
declare and practice their religion, and to use their language. Wow,
it's powerful, Jupis. Of course, there's the song that meant
it works, song about the vegi might sandwich, isn't there? Yep? Anyway,
that seems fair enough. He was twenty three years old
when he stabbed to death a wealthy Gold Coast property

(01:16:38):
developer Otto Kun and Queen and Queensland in nineteen ninety four. Anyway,
that's what we're on about tonight. If you want to
talk about that or anything else Metallica. I'm enjoying raining
heavily and fangade. Someone says my parents had a General
Motors fridge from the fifties, still working in the nineties.

(01:17:00):
That's from Charles. I think fridges go well when they go,
as long as you don't move them too often. Marcus,
we are welcome, Pelheadle twelve've got eight past ten. My
name is Marcus Cleaving. Marcus. We have a swarm of bees.
It's moved into our chimney. It's a gas fires to
kind of a fake chimney, So let's the heat out,
et cetera. It and the bees have moved and we
can hear them humming when we put our ears to

(01:17:23):
the wall. It feels like a horror movie. Does you
even know how to get rid of them? We don't
want them killed as we love bees. It's super weird.
You need a for us to move the Queen. I
think good evening, Sharky, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:17:36):
You get it. Marcus just thinking, you know, because I
know what the truckies will be out there, and I've
just come off that Papakura. They directing the traffic off
at Papacora, North Bell and then putting it back on
at Menechel and it's a real mess.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Is it weather related?

Speaker 20 (01:18:00):
No, it's throat work related, but the weather is absolute
crap rock Now as well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
I've got another text through sayings as bears the Anniversary
day floods.

Speaker 20 (01:18:10):
Yeah, it's starting to like yeah, well the drains on
the side of the road. I'm on a on Great
Sealth Road now, but the drains on the side of
the road are actually starting to overflow. Okay, yeah, but
watch that traffic coming off at Capakora, because you're going
to go all the way up Great Health Road to
Menecal before you can get back on the moorway.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
What's your advice, Well, you can't.

Speaker 20 (01:18:37):
Really take any out of the way. It's thanks what
it is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
How much long is it for your day?

Speaker 20 (01:18:46):
I've probably added another sort of forty minutes, I guess. Okay,
I'll go to pen Roads and then I'll have to
go back to telling a one site finish loading.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Okay, do say every well, take care. Nice of you
to Chicken market shack. You appreciate that. Ten past nine,
someone says I'm at long by an Auckland like rain
like on stop like Anniversary weekend two years ago. Someone says,
have been collecting fridge MANETs from travel around the world.
Not allowed on a new fridge displayed on middle sheet
in the garage. Marcus, they should tell the bees to

(01:19:17):
buzz off. We are talking about Metallica, I wandn't they're
going to be trouble setting up the rig with all
that rain that's happening, and also things that were banned
from your school. Entering bees to buzz off. It's all
we're about tonight. If you want to come in and
talk about this, that's the answer to all of this.

(01:19:40):
Jump what'd you say? Jumping? If you want to talk
eight hundred eighty ten eighty I did see that. Oh
this video images, Yeah, she looks messy. One of the
cameras from one of the over bridges looks really messy.
The rain from State Highway twenty Great South Road webcam

(01:20:02):
incredibly wet. So we are talking about Cliff Richard and
Metallica and fridge magnets. Been very enjoyable, keep it going.
If you don't want to talk on here tonight eight
hundred eighty and nine two nine to text you want

(01:20:24):
to be a part of it. But looking forward to
input tonight and do come through. There's been a three
vehicle crash at the intersection in a Vicago Lindis Farm
Sorry Isabella and Yarrow Street. One of the vehicles was
van carrying ten people. It could well be one. I

(01:20:47):
shouldn't speak that what that could be. Actually it's probably
not wise. But if you want to talk about any
of these things, do get in touch. As I say,
huntil midnight tonight, be in touch. It's nice to not
be talking about the all blacks. I'm just trying to
work out what they If you know what that fire
is involved within FuG a US, No, I'm not getting

(01:21:10):
any more information about that, but if you've got more
information on what the actual building is, that would be
of interest. It's well involved a lot of smoke, a
lot of fire too. Anyho, welcome to it, if you
want to be on it, if there's something else you
want to mention to night. I do get in touch.
And unfortunately I just got to play an ad break
early and all things gone right. I'll let you know

(01:21:31):
why I had to play that ad break early, but
let me just do this and call in the meantime
and hopefully I'll be back. And how long is the
ad breakdown? I don't do something that's gonna take a
little bit? Is it two minutes? Put him? How would
that work? Okay? Go no, So long story short. I've

(01:21:54):
been to the shops at the ten o'clock break and
i'd just come back and I couldn't work out with
my krks where And of course if you can't have
your carkis, you can't lock your cab. They'd fallen down
between the anyone that'd fallen down. So I managed to
get that sort out quite quickly. That's better. So now
rellext about my car being locked, although not that there
was anything extraordinary in there, and not that it's the

(01:22:15):
sort of place that I robbed someone, but just felt
I needed to do that. And now I'm all sort
of back off. It's only to about thirty seconds. So
they had to listen to all those commercials, So that's
a when Louis, this is Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:22:27):
Ah Hi, Marcus, are you thoughful when your car keys
fall down?

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Oh look look it's the curse of me. I've got it.
I love a car where your car key goes into
a hole and you I don't like having cars that
don't have. It drives me crazy. The number of times
you throw them and they're in your pocket, you go
to lock your car and it goes because it catches
me out. All that drives me crazy. But anyway, change
yourself or change the world. I've just got to change

(01:22:52):
myself and become more accepting of it. But I do difficult.

Speaker 7 (01:22:57):
Yes, we'll talk about Metallica and earthquakes, not related. Yeah,
I was supposed to be at the concert tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
It's tomorrow night. Huh tomorrow night?

Speaker 6 (01:23:11):
And have they changed it?

Speaker 10 (01:23:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
I think it was always tomorrow night.

Speaker 7 (01:23:16):
Oh it was the eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
No nineteenth.

Speaker 23 (01:23:21):
Oh that's really weird.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Yeah, okay, my.

Speaker 7 (01:23:24):
Ticket had the eighteenth. Oh well, anyway, I was supposed
to go, but I'm not going because I had MaxEnt
a few months ago and I'm still healing this fema,
so I'm really not to.

Speaker 11 (01:23:38):
It at all.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
And had you bought a ticket?

Speaker 7 (01:23:42):
Yeah, yeah, good ticket, and it's the last mon buzzle.

Speaker 15 (01:23:46):
I will go.

Speaker 12 (01:23:47):
But the.

Speaker 11 (01:23:49):
Just thatconomical, so I just couldn't justify spending it, so I.

Speaker 7 (01:23:54):
Tried to sell a ticket. That don't work anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
Have you seen have you seen them before?

Speaker 7 (01:24:01):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:24:02):
No, no, no, whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
It was very much fun. It's so much fun watching
it with a broken femur. Is it exploded? No, no,
nothing else matters.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:24:19):
Yeah. When jan was talking about earthquakes last week she
said that, Jan I.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Thought, you said, Daniel gee, he's been doing secret shows again. Yes, okay, yes,
Janet earthquakes, Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:24:31):
Yes, she said there was no even no earthquakes further
north than Edgecombe. Well, I lived in Auckland for thirty
years and in the last ten years there was two earthquakes,
so you know that puts.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
There was Well that was rightly felt at White Hiki.
I remember even when I was on this show, I
think so.

Speaker 7 (01:24:55):
Yeah, yeah, there was that. There only three point two
or nothing to what you get down here in the
lower North. It's laughable really, but they did happen. They
did happen. And just because it's not active that often
doesn't mean it's not going to be. Who knows, you know,
it's quite.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Was Metallic a top of your list of bands you
wanted to see? No, no, it's never top No, be
top ten, wouldn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:25:25):
No, it's not even that probably twelve, I know. Yeah,
I want to see even Essence as well.

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
But you know, I don't know even essence.

Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
Oh they've got a female leads leads no longer together. Yeah,
they're no together. I think they got back to this probably.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Okay, Oh I see, And if Isnce playing support? Are they?

Speaker 11 (01:25:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
I didn't pick it up. Okay, I understand, you're sure.

Speaker 23 (01:26:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:26:00):
Oh, well, you know, I've been to a lot of concerts.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
Too many. By the sounds of it, you're jaded.

Speaker 7 (01:26:07):
Oh yeah, maybe I don't think I'm going to block
another second for an Auckland concert. I went to the
Easy Top in May just before the act and that
was good. But sometimes the sound is not very good.
And yeah, and they're tired because this is the last
concert and their world to us, it always do, it

(01:26:30):
always does.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
I'll tell you something I'm hearing a lot of people's
I don't want to be the interrupting guy, but I'm
just going to for the sake of conversation, Louis. Something
I'm hearing people saying a lot these days is whether
it was Oasis in Melbourne or Sydney or or Oasis.
People are saying the sound was amazing. So it seems
as though through whether it's AI or just sound text.

(01:26:52):
It seems as though they've managed to work out that
stadium sound. That because people always used to rubbish stadium sound.
But all the reports i'm hearing recently from stadium concerts,
they're saying the sound is amazing, So something must have
happened there. Yeah, maybe'll find out tomorrow because I hope
tomorrow night is amazing because yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:27:13):
Yeah, well yeah, I remember Western Springs and the sound
bounced everywhere, you know, back in the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 23 (01:27:24):
It just wasn't some great quality really.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
But anyway, nice to hear from you, Louise will report.
We're reporting from tomorrow and anyways, see might get some
of the vibes from that anyway, on their Mord's gone.
What did mored say about that fire? Dan okays, there's
a question, is it mordemner on? I mean called I
might be a surname, probably mister Maud. I feel something
for the oldies that you call them by the first
name there with the whole I've been called by their

(01:27:48):
back name, haven't they now? Backcanon twenty past ten if
you want to talk kettor twelve minamers. Marcus got evening
in the zone. I hope you're in the zone. Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty heavy rain and Cutty
Cuddy orange warning was forecast. Marcus, rain and remember is
to wrench. I would liken it to the devastating Elton

(01:28:08):
John Night with a bomb of twenty twenty three. Marcus
ailated to the Lash family from Papakura. What's their first name?
They won't be a direct cousin. No, we were quite Yeah,
we didn't go far from the family estate and there

(01:28:29):
aren't many.

Speaker 11 (01:28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
Well, I don't know what to say about that. No,
I don't think we are Marcus any ideas why we
describe fires as well involved, as opposed to the fire
burning and as hot, torrential rain and east Auckland. But
you get in touch if you've got anything else to
add tonight. I'm enjoying the show. I hope you are too.

(01:28:52):
Oh eight hundred eighty eight nine two detext. I'll do
what I can to give you breaking news people. Nothing
much currently, but be in touch if you do want
a pine nice to not be to talk about the
all blacks they are saying arrive early for Metallica. I
hate to say it, but I think a pushbike's a

(01:29:13):
great thing for a concert. If you've got a dungey,
you can just lock up somewhere or leaven a hedge.
You'll always be away first, So first time in New
Zealand since twenty ten. Even Essence and Suicidal Tendencies will
perform with them. Hotels are one hundred percent capacity. I'm
sure all people are airbnb ing. Road clothes will begin

(01:29:35):
at four pe with Sandringham, Walter's Cricket, Rhymers and Bell
would have closed to traffic until midnight. Side streets, further Afield,
stretching from morning Side Drive Easter Dominion Road will be
undermanaged access. So Suicidal Tendencies kick off five thirty pm.
You can go into the stadium from half past four.
You go free on the trains with your ticket, and

(01:29:59):
there's a merchandising store a specific merriage. I didn't know
that was a thing. There's a pre party at the
morning Side Tavern, morning Side Last House from two pm.
I reckon morningside tomorrow'll be a bit tricky if you
boge in adverse we goinging off. I would imagine twenty
three past ten. Get in touchy on and talk about
any of these things too. Tonight, feel free to come through,

(01:30:21):
as I say, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty And
there's a school in Dorset that has banned the children
singing songs from that K pop show because it mentions
demons and stuff. So yes, that's the story there. K

(01:30:48):
Pop Demon Hunters is the show that's got everyone up
at arms. It's pretty it's pretty calm kind of stuff.
But Lily put Church of England fant school and Paul
His banned pupil singing the songs because it goes against
their Christian ethos. So I'm asking for the luned extrange
things band it you'll school? And what was that? Also

(01:31:08):
to it seems I've got a rain event that you
might want to mention also, so you want to talk
about that, get in touch. Eight hundred eighty eight. Good evening, Peter,
This is Marcus. Welcome Marcus. How are you good? Thanks? Peter,

(01:31:31):
how are you good?

Speaker 17 (01:31:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:31:34):
I was just.

Speaker 11 (01:31:36):
Wanted to talk to you about the band of greyhound racing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Yes please, you've rung the right show.

Speaker 11 (01:31:43):
Oh thank you. Yeah, I just I'm a I'm a
greyhound trainer. I just wanted to have a chat to
you on air about greyhound God Beatty of greyhound racing.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Have you got your radio on the Peter mate, if
you just turn turn.

Speaker 11 (01:32:08):
That, Sorry, sorry, there we go. That's better.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
I feel I could probably surmises Corl PEPs as well
as you could. How many people are involved in the
greyhound industry in New Zealand?

Speaker 11 (01:32:25):
Oh? Probably, Well, it goes on and on, so I'd say, jeez,
I've got no idea you could say from a thousand
people on which I'd say, because it goes on and on,
from greyhound trainers to owners, to handlers, two people that

(01:32:51):
run the bar, star people that you buy your supplies from,
your greyhound food from stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Yeah, I think there's over a thousand people that will
be out of work with this band.

Speaker 11 (01:33:12):
Oh, probably more, I'd say, definitely more.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
I mean it's clearly over, Peter. Do you guys regret
not doing more?

Speaker 24 (01:33:21):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:33:21):
I've only I only just started probably the last five
to six years. Okay, I haven't been in it for
a great deal of time. But yeah, I'd say, in
my in what my experience is, yes, But in saying that,

(01:33:43):
all the statistics have.

Speaker 8 (01:33:47):
Have dropped, Yeah, but the government don't.

Speaker 11 (01:33:52):
They have not looked at that. They looked at back
in twenty eleven, twenty twelve, so and stuff like that,
not statistics, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
So the other staging figure in Auckland last year they
euthanized six eight dogs. Yes, so so, so if they're
worrying about the welfare of dogs, they should be doing
something in Auckland about dog owners.

Speaker 11 (01:34:21):
Exactly, exactly instead of borried it like we've got we've
got more things to worry about than just like greyhound racing.
It's it's all over, it's the whole dogs in general,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
The other thing is that the tab is still going
to be showing the dog races from Australia, which is hypocritical.

Speaker 11 (01:34:43):
That's shocking. That's should not be allowed if you're going
to be in a sport here being a whole lot altogether. Yeah,
I mean like I've been in rape, I've been I've
been in race horses all my life until I switched
to the greyhounds. And there's more to worry about then.

Speaker 23 (01:35:09):
That there's.

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
Like, why did you switch from horse racing? Did you
get banned from that?

Speaker 19 (01:35:16):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:35:17):
No, no, because my father passed away and there was
something I could do because I used to do it
with my dad, and then once he passed away, I thought, well,
I'll just do the greyhounds on my own, in which
I have been with my daughter and that so I thought.

Speaker 8 (01:35:38):
Yep, that's good.

Speaker 11 (01:35:40):
She can help me because she's a little bit was
a little bit worried about the horses and stuff, as
they do as their kids. But with the dogs it
was different. They loved she loved the dogs. And now
they're going to take it away from us. And then
about ten to fifteen years time, there's going to be
no greyhounds.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
Happened sooner than that, Peter, Yeah, I kind of thought
that they kind of didn't have my fighting them the
greyhound people when it was banned, heavy rain and puk
a corh. He good for the vegetables, I guess, Marcus. Now,
I don't know how this is pronounced. The word is
boc am I going to say bozy or bowse Anyway,

(01:36:22):
Bozy have a computer package which could get the sound
in any stadium to ninety five percent correct, with surfaces
in the stadium altered. The last five percent is done
with manual human input. Huge improvement made to near perfect. Yeah,
imagine it must have been something like that, because yeah, everyone,
because so long everyone went to concerts and just moaned

(01:36:44):
so much about the sound. But now they say it's
all superb. I don't know. I mean, I guess it's
just I guess it must just be giant computer programs
that can model what an arena's like and they can
work out all the reflective indexes of surfaces and how
much sound has been reflected, and they can tweak it,
and I guess it's perfect. So yeah, that's what I've noticed.
People just say it's fantastic. So I'm we had to

(01:37:04):
mention that bows, So there we go. Someone says pronounced bows,
but either that's bowsy or bows. Marcus just saw that
the water Boys are touring next year, reportedly reputedly one
of the best liveax going around. Back in the day,
outside Spark Arena, cleeping the Doorter and friend, what's on tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
It's been pouring heavy rain for three hours. Should be
an interesting drive back to Long Bay. I might be
dozer cat. How many motorist still leave the keys of
their ignition and walk into the server station, use the ATM,
buy a pile, or pay for fuel. Yes, I've done that,
And who checks hired trailers at server stations before driving
off with them. Mind you Vanessa the other day last

(01:37:47):
week she did a reverse drive off. She paid for
fuel then didn't put it in the car. Interesting, A
never done that, but you know what happens for me
if you've got the car running outside the SERVEO you
going to use payWave? It doesn't work because it goes
back to the car, Marcus. If you're going to band greyhounds, band,

(01:38:08):
horse trading, racing, band, rugby band, car's band living, someone
says band letters, Marcus. I know the person who wrote
the initial policy on pushing the greyhound industry to change
to straight tracks for welfare. It was ignored with arrogance.
Very sad. I love a two four six eight box.
Try regards now come through if you want to talk.

(01:38:31):
Hettel twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine to text Marcus. In May twenty thirteen,
my partner and I were in San Francisco went to
a baseball game to experience a spectacle. Unbeknownst to us,
it was the first ever Metallica special pregame. Height was amazing.
Why should ever forgets a Metallica belting out the star

(01:38:53):
spangled banner across the stadium. Get in touch, Hettel twelve o'clock.
Good evening, Tim, this is Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:39:00):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 12 (01:39:02):
Here are you mas?

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
Good Tim?

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
That's good.

Speaker 15 (01:39:07):
Something will make your stuff. He's passed away now, but
he used to build tracks for the races and horse
racing and the greyhound for different tracks. And he was
telling me I've always made him laugh. They grade the tracks,
and he says, as soon as you have a bit
of a grade on a track, let's how the dogs
break their toes. They never changed them. I'd be really

(01:39:28):
interested to hear anyone who's into greyhound racing, whether they've
ever heard.

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
Of it before, just so so they grade the track.
Why do they do that to move it out because.

Speaker 15 (01:39:39):
Of the rain, or they build up on corners, you
know what I mean? They grade on an angle for
drainage and that type of gear. And he always used
to say, I remember if we did it was Edrington.
He got asked to do that again on that and
he was saying, he said, once you put an angle
on it, the horses feet aren't running, true, and once

(01:40:00):
you got greyhounds going, howfull the first one to get
the old toy they're running, of course, the petal bones
and everything like that. But he run on an angle
and they used to get a lot of broken toes,
a lot of greyhounds.

Speaker 4 (01:40:14):
You know, the career will be.

Speaker 15 (01:40:15):
Over after breaking something. And yeah, that's just interested to see.
You hear a lot of people who raise them, but
but they know about the actual pratice because he reckoned.
That was let the own of greyhounds.

Speaker 23 (01:40:27):
He reckoned.

Speaker 15 (01:40:28):
It was something that did so many injuries, you know.
And yeah, and you don't hear many people talking.

Speaker 2 (01:40:34):
About I haven't and when it comes and I've spoken,
must have suppoken to hundreds of greyhound owners over the
past two years this has happened. But hmm, yeah, And
I think that I think they can put up some
convincing arguments. But I do think that globally around the world,
the appetite for greyhound racing is diminished. I think it's
only I think there's only two courses left in America.
I think Ireland still has some, and there's some in Australia.

(01:40:57):
But but it's it's not you know, it's it's it's
only ever been quite a recent sport and now it's
you know, it's it seems to have people don't seem
to want to have dogs.

Speaker 15 (01:41:11):
They're a beautiful animal too. My mum had one. You know,
he was off the track but seven years old. He
is absolutely stuff. He's one of the high up dogs
racing in New Zealand, big boy. But he beck was
gone and all that stuff. You know, they as much
as they love it because they will run. Of course
I'll run, you know they want to one. But yeah,

(01:41:31):
it's ashamed to see him.

Speaker 5 (01:41:32):
But he.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Was, he was he quite injured from his racing time.

Speaker 15 (01:41:36):
Was he you're just back and back and nick and
all that stuff. You know, he's seven years old and
he was he was connected and fortunately but he'd done
well and everything. But the most beautiful dog even you
know got he lay the a very just kill up
on the chair and you know, you're just absolutely beautiful
dog game. Mature wise, they're fantastic. And I don't think

(01:41:59):
I've ever seen the grief of gray Hand, to be truthful,
but I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
I don't think they have a fantastic love. I don't
think they loved between races. I don't think they have
a fantastic life. Until they're retired, if they actually get
to live, so you know, I think probably, I think, yeah,
well they're done now. So and I guess there could
have been a way. There could have been a different
path with straight courses and non graded tracks and something
where they could have had a chance to But but
I still think the tide was going out with it.

Speaker 15 (01:42:25):
The biggest shame will be is a greyhound will run
out of extinctionion, you know, like they might breed them
for racing, so people won't breed them for pets.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
But why won't they breed them for pets?

Speaker 15 (01:42:35):
Well, I don't think they. I think it's all the
money thing, to be truthful.

Speaker 12 (01:42:40):
You know, people love me so.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Much, I'm sure. I mean, you see people those are
Tenian greyhounds, which is sort of a delightful dog.

Speaker 15 (01:42:46):
Aren't they, and the with its and all that you
know with it, you know, the miniature type grayhound type things,
all beautiful dogs. But I think it's all money these days.
I think most people, if they're in there for racing,
it's it's an easy form of racing where you can
keep them at home in the back garden. And any
who sort of mentioned it may come up with well,

(01:43:07):
love listening to job said to me getting older.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Yeah, and I'll tell you to thank you. Thank you
for the connected too. That's one that I've always enjoyed
as well. So thank you for putting in that too.

Speaker 15 (01:43:20):
Hey here, God, my buddy, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
Connected. Yeah like that, always like it, always like a
silent k pronounced one of my favorite things. Oh, by
the way, the UK are banning ticket scalping. That's via
Go Go, No go go, Via go go no more.

Speaker 12 (01:43:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
I don't know why they why they prefer okay, well
they just ban all those terrible things. It's just you
can't resell tickets at the profit and U s on
this loan. Look, no law that prevents event tickets have
being resold for a higher price unless the event has
come under the Major Events Management Act. A number of
ticket resealers operating is including ticket Master, Resale and via

(01:44:04):
Go Go terrible. They're the devil's websites. Those ones. Don't
go near them. They may be more expensive. The may
also be fake. It's a good thing we haven't got
fair go anymore. All it would be would be via
go go, wouldn't it. And phone scams fishing? Is that
what they call fishing with a pH paishing via go

(01:44:28):
go twenty away from eleven o'clock hit or midnight is
not looking forward to your inputs. You wonder why Winston
hasn't jumped on to bed to be ticket scalping or
luxen or I'll probably act to be in for it,
wouldn't they? That's oh, well, you know, should everyone's right
to rip someone off? Or you think everyone would be

(01:44:50):
into favor of they can't meagine anyone would want to
still have ticket scalping. And the latest news on smoking
rates in New Zealand, I guess there's some reason to
celebrate them, but not as much as they could be.
Smoking rates and using have dropped from sixteen percent to
under seven yep. Back in the old days, between three

(01:45:13):
hundred and fifteen four hundred ents a year died from
the consequence of inhaling secondhand smoke. Wow, that number is
well down now, so yeah, seven percent. Little attention is
paid to the death toll from smoking, which is fourteen
times higher than the number killed and road accidents. It's

(01:45:35):
pretty staggering, isn't it. Not so you want to talk
about that, But if you want to talk about metallic
or anything else. That's sixteen away from eleven and we
are talking about things that are banned at your schools
and metallica. There's other topics also, take your pick people
onto greyhounds as well. Yep. By the way, they've got

(01:45:56):
a good number of people and using golfers coming to
Milbrook for the New Zealand's one hundred and fifth Open
Milbrook from February twenty sixth to March one. It's happening. Well,
they don't use Michael Hill's course. They's to use that
for the Open and maybe they switch it around. I
guess it's probably highly I guess it's probably highly sought

(01:46:17):
after to be able to host a tournament like that.
And the man in the Australian jail that set it
his writers in Australian to have Veggie mighte in prison
then because you can use it to put off the
sniffer dogs with contraband. But you might have known that, Marcus.
I think horse racing will be over within ten years.

(01:46:38):
Does anyone really go anymore? Is it a TV sport?

Speaker 12 (01:46:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
I don't know how racing will sustain itself. Certainly if
i've every time I've gone to the country courses or
the provincial courses. On the weekdays or even the weekend,
there's hardly anyone there. And I was thinking about that
about that today. Gosh, the maintenance of the facilities must
be so incredibly expensive, all these kind of rickety, falling

(01:47:02):
down stadiums and the likes. So I needs they have
a really big consolidation. I don't know how it's going
to be sustainable. I think they just survived by those
Christmas day you know, the Christmas parties when you get
your corporate tense and everyone goes yuse it's vaguely enjoyable.

(01:47:26):
You might have mentioned that. It's some interesting texts. Marcus
and medieval times, greyhounds are only allowed to be the
property of royalty. Paupers were allowed to own greyhounds. Greyhounds
go so far back they are mentioned in the Bible.
I'll check that. I always like to check fact check something.
I'll be excited if.

Speaker 12 (01:47:45):
They are.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
And I'm doing that right now. Might've lost something in translation.
Now I'm looking to see what the Google's given up.
I'm not seeing anything straight away that mentions a greyhound
the only breed of the It does say the only
breed of dog mentioned.

Speaker 11 (01:48:09):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
I think I found something for you here it does say.
The only breed of dog mentioned by name in the
Bible is the greyhound. Proverbs thirty twenty nine thirty one
Kings James version, there be three things which do well, Yeah,

(01:48:29):
which are commonly in going A lion, which is strongest
amongst beasts, and turneth not away from any A greyhound
a he goat. Also, the Hebrew phrase translated as greyhound
literally means girt in the luins. This probably was considered
by trans as the most appropriate English terman to describe
the ancestor of the greyhound. It also probably didn't hurt

(01:48:51):
the greyhound. Coursing was popular with the sixteenth century court
of King James. So there we go. It's the only
dog mentioned of the put that in the Christmas quis
Dana like that absolutely pouring down Auckland. Auckland worried to
look out for flooding. Marcuscher listens, Please don't walk out
your door. You may be injured. Marcus, life is a risk.

(01:49:13):
The cosmic river on rain has stopped in Auckland. So
there we go, Marcus. My son's school is doing a
fundraiser Christmas trees. I'm keen to help out over the
price is stunned me. They released a price sixty five
for a small tree, seventy five for a medium, eighty
five for large Central Auckland based school. Doesn't sound right
go one of the days of the twenty dollars tree

(01:49:35):
is I mention they'd be a lot more expensive. Kind
of drives me crazy. When there's so many wilding pineng
you just go out and chop down for free. Marcus,
I think your smoke alarm buttter is flat. Why aren't
your producers putting a new one in what say a fire?
Especially three suspicious to need in ones from X rays.
There's no beeping that people are hearing on this show,
was there, Dan, Someone's come through a number of times

(01:49:58):
with this. I think there's a beeping here people, I
promise you eleven to eleven. It's nine away from eleven.
Some one's hearing to say they can of a mystery
beep on it. I can't hear a mystery beep. By
the way, everyone says it's absolutely raining cats and dogs
in Auckland. Marcus I worked on lighting at Western Springs

(01:50:19):
for Dire Straits in the eighties, using my backspeech passed
to get my brow and free by passing through them
through the fence of the same at Stevie Wonder, but
got rained off for two days in a row. But
Herb's got to play the full set, Marcus. Horse racing
has money poured into it from Arab word I don't know.

(01:50:40):
They love it and also Asian countries into it too.
They spend millions. We're just a breading ground for them.
Cheers David Marcus. Just going to pick the girls up
from the concerts Sparker, and it's certainly still rainning on
Tarmaki Drive, pouring down in surface flooding. Marcus. Fun fact
the ancient Egyptian car RoHS and two thousand father and
Pharaohs and two thousand and five on a bc kep

(01:51:01):
greyhounds as pet tend for hunting. The images are all
over the cave drawings and pyramid artwork. But they have
said the rain has just stopped stopped falling. And I
believe that artists at Sparks doja cat. I think that's right.
American rapper and singer to be pretty good concert, wouldn't it,

(01:51:28):
So there we go. I think she's at spark tonight.
I don't know if it's just one concert or two.
I'll check that up. But all those loving parents going
to see their kids love that. Yes, just tonight, it
seems doja cat. Of course it is seven away from
eleven for away from eleven. Good evening, Dave, this is

(01:51:49):
Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:51:52):
Yeah, Hi, I'm Maugus.

Speaker 8 (01:51:53):
Hey.

Speaker 19 (01:51:54):
Yeah, I'm driving around all at the moment.

Speaker 24 (01:51:56):
I'll make you work. And then I've just finished that
out of Cheery while moved away, and I'm now heading
out of twenty two and it's it's pouring down as
well as it's so way the hell out west and
I'm just coming past checking any offering down. It's it's
bucketing down here, so I don't know who's who's came
the range let up. It's still still dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:52:17):
David is signed of flooding or anything untoward.

Speaker 24 (01:52:21):
Yeah, look as it's coming through sixteen on the one,
so sort of three point Chevs and Newton where we
all had to slow down to seventy eighty just messive
puddles on the motorway through there.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
Yeah, all it's done that. It's unnoving when you had
a puddle at speed on the motorway, isn't Yeah, we're
playing that's not nice feeding So yeah, you can't see
their crushes though, there's no signs of any.

Speaker 24 (01:52:48):
No, no, but I'll be very surprised if I haven't
been any started it at nine o'clock and it was
it was pretty nasty hitting now within and yeah, yeah, yeah,
just you know, it's still bucketing yeah, And.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Dave, I can I can hear it on your audio
of your phone call. It's it's pretty it's already telling
what the what, what the sound sayings. I appreciate you
coming through with that. So it's still bucketing down. It
might be I'm not seeing anything. I wouldn't mind a
bit of a missing from telling. I'm not seeing any closures.
I'm seeing a lot of warnings. But I think the
most scheduled kind of stuff. Ivan. It's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:53:27):
Marcus there. Yeah, just bringing about these greyhounds and hew,
I'm actually very angry about this, this decision. And I
have been involved in greyhounds in the past, sudden many
years ago through my inlaws actually, and that's how I
got interested. And I just I just feel like it's

(01:53:51):
a it's a stage, a step too far for the
government to be honest, I think it's like human rights
or personal interests. I don't think it's got I had
a lot to do with great.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
It's the thing the government don't want it. But government
sees they don't want to interfere with people going up
their leisure activities.

Speaker 8 (01:54:13):
Yeah, that's a letter rubbish because that's exactly what they served,
Absolute rubbish. My father in law is he was very
much interested. He's passed away in now. They hell of
a nice bloke and when I first got to know
him through my life and his activities in the greyhounds

(01:54:35):
that there was no tab at all. So what you
ended up having was a group of people throughout the
country that had greyhounds. And I'm not absolutely expert at this,
thelom correct me if I'm wrong, but the guys used

(01:54:55):
to travel to different places and just race the greyhounds.
They certainly didn't get any money on it from the
tab at all of it. I think it was a
thing called equalisa betting that sort of something, rather than
happened like that. I remember seeing greyhounds racing on a

(01:55:19):
straight track and tearing or at the racecourse. There definitely
nothing hugely professional knowing near what the industry operates at today.
And it's all I just can't believe that Winston Peters

(01:55:43):
I had a pretty level headed sort of a character
and usually gets rid of a lot of rubbishy sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
Decide maybe you could say was maybe you could say
was a level headed character.

Speaker 8 (01:55:55):
Yeah, well you'd have to you know, normally if he
was lobbied by radical people, he'd have something to you know,
just sort of sort them out. But in this case,
I just can't understand it, you know, I mean, I
mean what especially at this day in time, like presently
we've got you know, real financial problems in the country. Well,

(01:56:18):
to my understanding, greyhound racing has gone forward. It's not
subsidized by any taxpayer. It employs people. And look these
people that it's employing are you know, they're not university scholars.
I'm not saying he has done that are. But they're
just general people that love and have a passion for

(01:56:41):
the dogs they have. And there's always a rat bag.
There's always a rat bag, no matter what it is.
I mean, you only have to look at any any
sort of activity and somebody will try and bend the
rules somewhere along the line. But that gets sorted out
in due course, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
You know, well, you wish your father in Lauren. I'd
like to know more about the history of greyhound racing
because it does it does best. Namase little club trap
traps everywhere, there's one out west talk and Hu were
pie or something. So when was this he was doing it?

Speaker 8 (01:57:17):
Well, I'm from Tokrah and my father law work that
the Kinley built and so he was a shift worker
and that enabled him to move around the country at
different time shape with his dogs and family. Tokrah had
a very small track which was.

Speaker 17 (01:57:38):
Built by the enthusiasts that ever were here.

Speaker 8 (01:57:42):
And that operated as a really good what they called
breaking in track for greyhounds to sort of teach him
how to run around corners because they don't necessarily there's
young puppies like young people and animals. They can run
and jump around, but they don't really know how to run.
And tild you who's a train like John Walker Marcus,

(01:58:05):
you know to run? And so yeah, I'm really angry
about it, and I'd have to say I'm presently I'm
an apathetic sort of doesn't really worry me. A group
of people and yeah, I'm very angry that the government

(01:58:29):
is making this type of decision. The people that work
in the industry, like you know, there's there's handlers, young
people quite often and they're starting out in their working
lives and traveling up and down the country, you know,

(01:58:49):
from many many miles. Like the greyhounds can come from
the cargolet. You've got a big trainer down and in
the gargle here and they'll take the dogs all the
way out the Awfu goodness sake across the theory, you've got.

Speaker 2 (01:59:06):
Stop your voting for Winston.

Speaker 8 (01:59:09):
Well, I'll tell you what. Ifore I got in the room,
I'd have a decent chat with him.

Speaker 2 (01:59:14):
Still vote from them, wouldn't you?

Speaker 8 (01:59:17):
Well I probably, I probably would because he has been
doing a decent job, you know, around there. But old yeah,
i'd I'm very disappointed to look at I can Yeah,
you can.

Speaker 14 (01:59:31):
Do it wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:59:31):
I'd like to hear more about that totalizator things if
you can. People, if you want to talk more about
the way greyhound betting worked in the early days, I'd
like to hear you about talk about that. It's eighteen
past eleven. Come through. If you want to hurdle twelve.
Good evening. My name is Marcus. Welcome bythough all the
press are start starting for Wicked for God. That can't
be far away till that plays, so I can't wait

(01:59:53):
to see. But yes, so this Thursday, two days time,
she was much had the night off. That'll put the
can amongst the pigeons. Wicked for Good. In Vert cargo

(02:00:18):
of course, she's advanced screening tomorrow. Can we find out
more about this? Yeah, and I think it in vert
Cargoo tomorrow, Select cinema. It's on a stupid website. Anyway,
I think we've got a reading cinema down here. Wicked

(02:00:40):
for Good. There might be a matinee get the kids
out of school for that. Now there'll be something to
be some Techi radio promotion, no doubt. Anyway, Good evening,
Janet's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 6 (02:00:56):
I'm nearly up to go home. You're gold.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
What do you want to say, jan.

Speaker 6 (02:01:03):
Well, of course the Great trace and it's everything. Takes
ages for the government to put through any changes on anything,
so the Greathounds is just one of them. But also
I hear they're allowing pigs to go and crates again

(02:01:29):
showed on TV, these great, big mother pigs and tiny
little crates with great big steel bars all around them,
and they're lying on cold heard concrete and the government
reconcists to save the mother from rolling on the little baby.

(02:01:51):
It's the cruelest thing, and the government just decided that
it's okay. I think it's absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:02:01):
Would they bend and have now been unburned?

Speaker 8 (02:02:05):
Well, I'm not sure out all the details, I'm not either.

Speaker 6 (02:02:10):
I'm pretty sure it was being because they've just thought
it bacon, so it must have been game for them
to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
Yeah, I kind of I saw the article, but I
saw the article but didn't read it.

Speaker 6 (02:02:24):
It's at a cruelty, you know, if they only realized
about Tarma. If you're cruel to animals, you're going to
come back as a big mummy pig and get put
in a crate like that that my on cold con
concrete for months.

Speaker 2 (02:02:46):
I'm in the hell.

Speaker 6 (02:02:48):
Well, the babies grow up, one of those those me
and that do this or women, they're going to come
back as a pig and sup the same fate.

Speaker 12 (02:03:00):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (02:03:00):
I just think about that. Is any animal cruelty.

Speaker 2 (02:03:06):
Come back because you can't come back as an animal?

Speaker 6 (02:03:09):
Yes, And the same fate, because that's your Carmack debt.

Speaker 2 (02:03:14):
Which which which beliefs, which beliefs? Which belief systems? That
jen well, the karmic belief okay, is that one? Is
that one you've invented?

Speaker 6 (02:03:25):
No, it's worldwide, and of course anyone that knows anything
about it's very common. So you look out karma and
you'll find out all about it. And God teachers to
unto others, says you weren't done to you.

Speaker 2 (02:03:49):
I don't know you're going to come back as a
pig though, if you're the pig farmers. But I mean,
I guess it's yeah, they'll suffer.

Speaker 6 (02:03:57):
You can be sure of that.

Speaker 2 (02:04:01):
Threty years ago the I'll talk about Benning South Crates,
weren't they I can't. I don't know what the law
is with it. I think comes from overseas anyway, doesn't it?

Speaker 6 (02:04:10):
Well, it shouldn't do. This is another point. But I
just think those countries are just every day of something.
I can't wait to get out. I can't wait to
wait to get out of this ruddy country.

Speaker 2 (02:04:30):
And what were you going?

Speaker 6 (02:04:33):
I can't find well, I think I have done somewhere
that I'm certainly not going to tell anybody.

Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
I didn't come on.

Speaker 25 (02:04:40):
Where would you go away?

Speaker 6 (02:04:42):
Sneak away to some lovely oasis, some beautiful place where
people are kind, honest and straight up Christians. So it
might be some remote place somewhere that I'm sick to
deep for these people in this country that's still doing

(02:05:03):
rodeos and cruelly tre animals there.

Speaker 2 (02:05:07):
And I hope, I hope you're still win the radio.

Speaker 6 (02:05:11):
Yeah I will, but I still won't let you know
where I'm going.

Speaker 11 (02:05:14):
No, I know you're.

Speaker 2 (02:05:18):
Okay. Thank you, Jen twenty nine away from twelve. Good
even Kevin, It's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (02:05:22):
Welcome, Hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:05:25):
Kevin?

Speaker 17 (02:05:27):
That's the way officially Greyhounds. I think it's a travesty that.

Speaker 4 (02:05:34):
It's got this far.

Speaker 17 (02:05:36):
We're about to actually abolish them. I couldn't believe it.
I thought they would have lobbied the politicians by mister
Peters and got this industry sorted.

Speaker 2 (02:05:54):
There seem to be a very disparate group. There seemed
to be no Supreme Court appeal or anything that I
can see.

Speaker 17 (02:06:00):
Yeah, true, I can't believe it. I know mister Peters personally,
but he couldn't believe that there was very little pushback
from the authorities and greyhound racing.

Speaker 4 (02:06:17):
But it's just so sad.

Speaker 17 (02:06:19):
We can't let this happen.

Speaker 23 (02:06:20):
We have to.

Speaker 17 (02:06:23):
Stand up and say, hey, this is what we do
and we don't.

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
Well to be fair, Keren, there's no spectators. The only
people that go to the dog racing are the dog owners.

Speaker 4 (02:06:37):
Aren't there.

Speaker 2 (02:06:37):
There's very few people that aren't in the industry that
would just go along there for a Friday night.

Speaker 17 (02:06:43):
I couldn't agree more markets, but it's an industry which
is functional perfectly. The animals. I know people involved with
the cur of greyhounds and they treat them like courses. Well,

(02:07:04):
any animal, I've got loads of love and care and
their well being is in their highest priority and just
quickly moving on if I can. Yes, Jan was saying

(02:07:27):
about pigs and crushes sows, Well, I'm an old darious
armer finished, well, I try a few years ago. But
we used to run pigs and with our surplus milk,
we've set up pigs and our sows. We did have

(02:07:51):
sours and we had a triangle in the corner of
the pen where the piglets could actually get away from
their mothers and under a heap lamp. And often my children,

(02:08:12):
daughter and son used to come running over to me
and say, Dad is squealing coming from the piggery. And
I was over and have a look, and here's a
sound lying on two of her piglets. There's not a
worry in the world, and you can hear them squealing

(02:08:34):
like hell, And next minute I'm gone by dead. And
that's just the way. Unfortunately, pigs out so creates aren't cruel.
They make pig farming sustainable. And I sympathized with the
poor men and woman that some pigs, because it's hard work.

(02:08:58):
You have to feed them twice a day, at least
twice a day, hose them out, clean them. It's a
serious job. The pigs are quite happy.

Speaker 2 (02:09:08):
Why will the sow kill the young ones?

Speaker 17 (02:09:10):
Is it just out as when she lays down to lactate,
she will just flop down. And most big sours are
probably what two fifty odd kilos, the big animals, and
she'll lay down to lactate and grunt, and the other

(02:09:31):
piglets that whizzlong and climb onto her teat, and she
could have two or three lying underneath her that was
squealing for their lives and she doesn't give them rips often,
and people need to know this. This is you know,
animals or animals with humans. And quickly getting back to diversing.

(02:09:55):
Now again to grehound racing. What's going to happen with
pigeon racing? When hawks pack the pigeons? So we're going
to stop pigeon racing.

Speaker 4 (02:10:10):
It's just.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
The pigeon racing is not gambled on. It's not for gambling.
I think that's that Does that make it slightly different?

Speaker 17 (02:10:20):
Well? Are we talking about animal welfare here or are
we talking about gambling?

Speaker 2 (02:10:27):
You know, I've never heard anyone talk about benning the birds,
but I guess it'll happen.

Speaker 17 (02:10:34):
What are we going to do with our thoroughbreds?

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
We'll keep talking, Kevin, thanks so much for that. Twenty
five away from twelve o'clock hit till midnight. Good evening,
josh As Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (02:10:46):
Okay, Hey, I know you're not really talking politics, but
I just wanted to point out an observation I'm making,
but just on the old social media, just looking at
level of engagement in different articles and you get to
close swabrack and it's just so many you know that.

(02:11:09):
The tragic thing I must say, Marcus is it's not
it's not positive. It's a lot of negative stuff. So
it just seems like people are just really hammering their
negative thoughts. There's no synergy there, there's no critique. It's name,

(02:11:32):
it's just anny name name.

Speaker 2 (02:11:34):
And most of it is just a straight up misogyny.
It's it's you know, I just like gifted talented politicians,
straight up misogyny, and and I think you could challenge
people on it, eventually they'd get they'd get to see
what that what it's about. I have all those texts here,
I confront people on it.

Speaker 4 (02:11:55):
Because you know, one thing that really frustrates me is like,
every time we have a conversation about politics, you and me, no,
I mean no in general, I'm generalizing here. When people
in general get online on politics, it's like, what Teaman,

(02:12:15):
you know, are you a communist? All this stuff and
we're not talking about the policy. We're not talking you know,
we're not really getting down to the bones of what
we dislike or how things could work because we're too
busy going I'm on this team. I'm on this team.
It's really infuriating as oh, it's got nowhere.

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
And you worry about the people that are on those
keyboards that are actually getting involved with Facebook comments. I mean,
I don't think anyone with you talking about Facebook mainly,
are you?

Speaker 19 (02:12:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:12:49):
Mainly?

Speaker 24 (02:12:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:12:50):
I mean, if someone's involved in the Facebook comment sections
for discussions, you'd need to have a look at yourself
because it's pretty it's pretty banal, and it's pretty non productive.

Speaker 4 (02:13:00):
Do you see just Cinder's going on, Graham Norton.

Speaker 2 (02:13:05):
It'll freak people out.

Speaker 4 (02:13:06):
Why't Oh yeah, it just triggered the whole thing in
Nation Rednicks. I don't know, it's just it's a lot
cool to I don't know what we're going to do
about about it anyway, Marcus, I thought i'd share that Google.

Speaker 20 (02:13:20):
With you anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:13:21):
I don't I don't disagree with you, and I think
you men and I don't know what's going to get
the country over it, But yeah, they just seem to
it's the misogyny.

Speaker 4 (02:13:31):
Well, would you take on the see the capital gains
text conversation about the policy rather than the individuals involved
and teams you know, could be.

Speaker 2 (02:13:46):
I don't think people are capable of it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:48):
No, I think I think it's it's pretty Yeah, it's
horrible because.

Speaker 2 (02:13:52):
I tell you a lot, they always pick, Yeah, the
days for about to have a have a measured political discussion.
How long long long gone?

Speaker 12 (02:14:03):
Well, where is it?

Speaker 4 (02:14:04):
Marcus Sette And I think it probably was COVID.

Speaker 2 (02:14:06):
I think COVID probably did weird things to people, not
the ones.

Speaker 4 (02:14:11):
I think that's what it was was was people in
isolation just really ramming getting into that dopamine and just
getting really toxic.

Speaker 12 (02:14:21):
Like what can I say? It upset this guy, Like, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:14:25):
Just there must be more to it where people want
to just battle people online. I can't work out what
it is, but they must. They must get some They
must get someone dolphin hit or something from it. There
must be they must feel so insignificant and powerless that
I mean if those people are, and I think it's
probably because the country is not in a good way.

Speaker 4 (02:14:48):
Do you think that, like, because one of my theories
was like, once we sought this out, figure out how
to make it work better, that it will actually be
like a mass synergy. So it's like we're all contributing
to the better of whatever. But it's not going to
happen if we're just petty name calling. You're on this
team and you're on that team. We've had it. Bring

(02:15:10):
in socialist skiered mangering for the last sixty years. I
mean I was going through going through old videos of
old campaigns and it's the same ballots for sixty years,
just rheterate nonsense and no debate on the bones and issues.

(02:15:30):
It's kind of tragic.

Speaker 2 (02:15:33):
Man does to talk. Josh, thanks for coming through fourteen
away from twelve. It's twelve away from twelve. People keep
those texts coming through tims along at midnight. Great. I'm
looking forward to what people are going to say as
they're going to head home from the Tellica concept tomorrow night.

Speaker 10 (02:15:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:15:51):
So let's hope they manage to get the setup, all
the stage up with all this rain, Marcus, there is
so much skewd information about greyhound racing. Why not invite
a gr n Z person as guest. Look, I've spoken
of a large number of people from the greyhound industry
of the last year, and they've all conducted themselves for
every well they will been very, very reasonable. So there's

(02:16:12):
been no shortest of information about that. Apparently it's the
soul of panel company, including Lithium batteries. It's on funerday currently,
thank you, as some of his reign has been falling
an awkward freight hour straight days. Ask anniversary all over again, Morris,
it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 25 (02:16:30):
Oh hi Martus. I just thought i'd give you a
ring and talk about the stage thing that you're sort
of going on about the bands and the stages up
in the aut at the moment of weather. And I've
got a concert myself. It's human instinct that the following week,
on the twenty ninth of November, and it's the.

Speaker 16 (02:16:51):
It's the.

Speaker 25 (02:16:53):
Blues and Barbecue Festive and road a rail good twenty
nine year. It's a nice atmosphere there. And I just
wanted to kind of say that people don't support the
smaller ones. It's all.

Speaker 17 (02:17:06):
It's a good one.

Speaker 8 (02:17:08):
It's a really big star.

Speaker 2 (02:17:09):
Because the big stars are getting all the money, aren't
they they're taking a fortune out of it.

Speaker 25 (02:17:14):
Well, they've sort of come in and we've yeah, we've
always been like that. We've had really we've got top
musicians here, music and you know, and they don't get
a bit of a fear go so they get sort of,
you know, over it. A bit, But you know, I'm
not knocking that I don't set up stages with my
brother Frank. You know, he's at his company was the

(02:17:34):
World Stages International, and I've set up stages all around
the world with them for all the big artists, you know,
and built them myself physicularly, and played on career and
all that stuff. But at that point is this concept
have you an instinct?

Speaker 18 (02:17:47):
Allay?

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
You guys never broke up? Have you been back together
for a while now?

Speaker 14 (02:17:51):
No?

Speaker 25 (02:17:52):
Well, now, now that's where it comes in. There's there's
been about fifty or so more people in the human instinct,
and I've kept it going all that time. And see,
you know, I've kicked the name when I've become given instinct.
On the way to England from the Four Wars, we
got on England in nineteen sixty six and we went
over there with the first pop band to leave New

(02:18:13):
Zealand shorts and try cut up with the big rock
bands and stuff in the mainstream over there, and we didn't.
We went over and playing tours with the small Faces
of Auguston And you know I've done all that. Plays
for Playboy Club and played for Jeff Beck, and I
know a lot of those people. But what's happening is

(02:18:35):
these little concerts have got to keep going. You know,
I'm on this one here, and I'm only really on
it them. You know, I'm still going because I love
entertaining the people. But if it doesn't, if people don't
keep coming to them, you know, they'll have to shut
Because last year they didn't run it because of that,
you know, it didn't have enough thing going. But they

(02:18:56):
boosted up this year and they've tried more hard.

Speaker 5 (02:18:58):
But I think I.

Speaker 25 (02:18:59):
Believe they're selling well, it's sold. It's going to be good,
you know.

Speaker 2 (02:19:04):
Can you tell you tell me who else is performing
as well as you were the blues music.

Speaker 25 (02:19:08):
Yeah, it's a band called in Australia called nineteen twenty.

Speaker 17 (02:19:12):
I saw them.

Speaker 25 (02:19:13):
They're really good, three piece and they're younger guys than
my band, but yeah, they're good. You know, they hop
around and get the crowd all worked up, which is
good for me that they didn't quite style and me,
but they build the crowd up good. Before I come
on at nine o'clock on a Saturday on I'm headlining
the show. You know, I've got super players with me.

(02:19:37):
I've got a maestro guitar player and string instrument player.

Speaker 17 (02:19:41):
Called Dug Jurabi.

Speaker 25 (02:19:42):
He's google him. He made albums and the England when
I was over there nineteen sixty eight and stuff there
that was a psychedelic rock thing that I picked up
and brought that back to New Zealand. And they're releasing
on my albums too. That are They're going to be
a sale at the meat and dicing store at the concert.

Speaker 2 (02:20:03):
I appreciate them both. I got to run Edgson thing
before the thing, but think for coming through about that.
That's the festival I wrote to do. That's how I'll
tell you that, the New Zealand Blues and Barbecue Festival,
twenty twenty five, twenty eighth of November Friday. Thanks so much.
That seven oh from twelve. Hi Paula, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 26 (02:20:23):
Hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 12 (02:20:24):
Thank you?

Speaker 9 (02:20:25):
Paula good good.

Speaker 6 (02:20:26):
Hey.

Speaker 26 (02:20:27):
I've just driven from Auckland through this through the path
of what is supposed to be the torrential rain to
Fakatorny and so it could be a quick updates. The
weakest we had was Auckland and it's it rained all
the way through until we got to matter Turn just
outside of Fak Attorney and it was dry. But it's

(02:20:47):
just started raining here, but we're supposed to. We're under
an orange red heavy rain warning here, so it's supposed
to arrive in the early hours.

Speaker 6 (02:20:54):
But it's pretty good.

Speaker 23 (02:20:56):
Auckland was the worst.

Speaker 2 (02:20:58):
Was the flooding or any flooding or any traffic problems
with the rain.

Speaker 1 (02:21:02):
No.

Speaker 26 (02:21:03):
Nothing between Auckland and here. There was a lot of rope.
It's night work. But I think we're we're in front
of it, so it makes sense. I think it's supposed
to follow behind us. Yeah, so it hasn't quite hit.
It's raining now, but it's not hard.

Speaker 2 (02:21:19):
You're probably going to get it there to get a
day of it. You've sort of just you've just gone
through it all to get the it all coming down
to meet you because it's coming down for thee.

Speaker 26 (02:21:28):
Yeah, okay, indeed, but it's supposed to be all over
by by tomorrow, Whitewell by seven eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (02:21:33):
So is the land.

Speaker 4 (02:21:38):
Is it?

Speaker 20 (02:21:38):
We are?

Speaker 21 (02:21:38):
Is it dry?

Speaker 26 (02:21:40):
Very very wet and then it's sort of lightened. The
weebit the climbies were quite wet. Yeah, but the rest
is actually just drizzle a bit of.

Speaker 2 (02:21:49):
Rain, and the ground where you as not soaked anyway,
it's quite dry, so they won't probably.

Speaker 17 (02:21:53):
Want to try.

Speaker 2 (02:21:54):
Yeah, okay, appreciate that, Paula.

Speaker 14 (02:21:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:21:56):
I'll return tomorrow people. Tim's long after me, and yeah,
we will, no doubt it to talk a bit about
Metallica as people go to the concerts or come home.
That'll be a back feature for us tomorrow night. And
