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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be greetings, good evening. I hope I don't seem
too far away. As they sing in the song, it's Tuesday,
first day of a short week after a long weekend.
I'll say this because I always Saturday as we'll get it
out of the way quickly. Now, I bore myself. Sometimes
nothing seems as long and broadcasting as a short week.

(00:32):
I think we overcompensate. We think, oh, it's three day week,
it's gonna be a short week. That's gonna be over
and done with ree quickly. Oh no, Siri, nothing seems
quite as long as a short week. Tuesday feels like Monday,
Wednesday feels like Thursday. Friday feels like Saturday. That's not

(00:52):
quite right. Tuesday feels like Monday, Wednesday feels like Thursday,
Thursday feels like Friday. No, Thursday feels like Saturday, and
Friday feels like jeeps, creepers. Thanksgiving, that's that out of
their own. How are you welcome? Marcus till twelve something
else from me? Road toll through the floor zero I

(01:13):
think it was zero and as it's changed as something's
happened subsequently, Well done everyone. However, part of me thinks
the road toll was so low because the weather was
so shocking that no one would leave the house. That
would be my pick. No one went anywhere because the

(01:36):
weather was rubbish, So I apologize. One person has died.
Was down to zero now it's one. But that's unbelievably low.
So I'm not quite sure what we say about that.
But yes, the weather wasn't good at all. I hope
your weekend wasn't badly affected by the weather. There's nothing
quite like ah, there's nothing quite as memorable as a

(02:01):
long weekend in a tent. Never good. If pone's got
one those stories, if anyone had an appalling long weekend
and got drenched, or whether if it would love to
hear from you. The great thing about things like bad
weekends or when a ten leaks is that we have
the stories we can tell afterwards. If that's you get
in touch when long weekends go bad with the weather,

(02:23):
I'm all in for that. I didn't get rang, it
didn't get wet because the weather was so bad. I
had so many things I don't even feature out of
the house much so anyway, that's that. That's the discussion tonight,
lave weekend ruined by the weather? Was that one of you?
Were you that person? And then we can broaden that
out into general times. You've gone camping and it's been terrible.

(02:47):
Noyone's got a terrible camping story. I hope you've got
one for me. Get in touch here till midnight. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you've got breaking
news where you are, let us know. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. If you want to text nine to
nine two. When I say breaking news, whatever that happens,
whatever you've got, I don't mind. Normally, I'm asking for

(03:07):
Wallaby sightings, although I have to admit that I've mentioned
Wallerby so much. I'm getting a lot of Wallabee news
stories coming up at my Facebook feed, which is never
a good sign. And I've presume that's because I'm googling
stories and reacting to them and watching videos. I've spent

(03:28):
a lot of today watching videos of that cruise ship
that hit thirty foot seas in the Bay of Biscay.
I don't know what your maritime history is like, but
we've always learned that always was told the Bay of
Biscay can have terrible weather. It seemed to for this
cruise ship thirty foot waves. They all thought they were
gonna die. What would that be like? One hundred guests

(03:55):
were injured? Cheapest anyway, I get in touch. My name's
Marcus Hittle twelve. When camping goes bad, bad camping experiences
because of the wed from about I tell you something
that passed without passed without comment. I'll tell you something
that passed without comment, and that was the comet or

(04:18):
a week that passed without comment pretty much because no
one saw it. Not one person saw it. I think
we need someone to actually stand up and say when
people start talking about comments, we all get excited whether
in fact it's going to be visible. It was a
damp squib. Use a fireworks and energy. By the way,

(04:38):
it's that time of the year. It's going to be
scary for some to be random people knocking on doors
and there'll be fireworks and they'll be Melbourne Cup sweepstakes.
It's the triple threat. Harassed in the workplace for five dollars,
harassed on your porch for food, harassed in the sky
with loud bangs, chaos, being Marcus.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Welcome, here you go, Marcus. We went to and the
Carabbean over the long weekend. You know, not too bad
been in the caravan. You've got a few luxuries in that,
but you just ashame it rained most of the time.
I think someday it was all right and then Monday
it was about crap again.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Were many people there ben.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Compared to the previous few years, Like you've got the
fishing comp on, you know that park there wasn't. I'd
say they were probably about half as many people as
what they normally are.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, okay, because I mean, I don't want to put
words in your mouth, but I reckon, I reckon to
being a tent. I reckon to being a caravan is
worse than a tent, at least a tent. You've got
that great thing. Always is amazing that that's done. Bit
of fabrics keeping the rain out where the caravan. You've
just got Kevin fever, literal cabin fever.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh, we've got quite a nice caravan that's got a
you know, flat screen TV on the wall, and it's
got and the conditioners.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
So for goodness, putting flat screen TV's in the caravans now.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
No We actually put it in ourselves and I had
a smaller one and work for a pack of one
of them. But we brought it drink COVID because we
can't go over seas. And yeah, I think it's the
twenty sixteen model.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
So it's like listen to you, sounding like the shot
the cream. We brought it during COVID because we couldn't
go overseas. You tell one of those Facebook riggers.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
No, look, it's been a great investment. It's saved it
saved us a lot of money. You know, it's fully
self contained, so we're happy. But it's just the same.
It was raining.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Did you drag it there? You got to pocket at
the campground there?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Well, we were going to do the old friend of
campingg you know, just pack up and the designated areas
because it's fully self contained and you got the battery
systems and all that. But yeah, we decided because it
was raining, just get campground.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Great, you've got a sky dish there. How do you
get your how do you get your TV onto it?
You Prome cast?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got I've got the got internet
box and car and so it's just ess it the smart.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
TV real nice to get the whole ball rolling Ben.
Thanks that thirteen past eight texts of the three options,
I'll pay the five dollars for the sweepstake.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Weekend was not the greatest for me, tested positter for
COVID Friday morning. Just starting to feel better, so at
least I didn't go camping with it. Why did the
Travis Scott concert get rescheduled back of day? It's now
tomorrow night? Did a Thursday night? Quite a few angry
chicchures having to rebook a combination and flights that was discussed, Dan,

(07:36):
do you know why it was? I think it was
to do with Eden PARKI should anything. It was to
do with Travis. That was my understanding of it. But
I'm seeing that I'll just google up Travis Scott rescheduled writers,
Travis Scott reschedule logistical issues. You never know logistical issues.
What does that even mean? I got no idea, But

(08:01):
for a lot of stuff with show bas and concerts,
you never really know the reason. You find out later
on there and they're in rehab or they're detail. I'm
not saying with Travis Scott that's what's happened, but you
never really know that's what happened. When you're entertaining, you
call the shots. By the way, see Metallica tickets have
gone on sale today. Think about two seven nine for

(08:22):
standing room mind, as long as I don't reschedule, because
I tell you what, I don't know what you think
about Metallica, but I would imagine that there will be
a lot of people going from the South Island up
for that because that seems to appeal to them. That
sort of music. This appeals to plenty O eight hundred
and eighty to eighty when campin goes bad and long

(08:43):
weekends and wet long weekends. As I say, it's always
quite good with a long weekend if you got a
batch or a crib and it's wet and there's nothing
to do until you find that cupboard with the vinyl
and the board game and you play a three day
long game of Riskless. Into the soundtrack of Tour of
Judy Canned Heat on the Road again fantastic. On the

(09:06):
Tour of Judy album, I think it was Anyway Getting
to Get in Touch by Name's markets hitdle twelve Love
Tour of Duty. I actually loved the album, not so
much the series and everything I saw the series. I
think it was canned Heat on the road. Oh wait
one hundred eighties heady nine two nine to text, Oh

(09:29):
we got to get out of this place. Water Show
of Pale all the watchdow Hoody gurdy Man was a
great soundtrack. Was one of the great soundtracks. That's been
easy job putty to get the soundtracks for movies like that,
isn't it just get all the bangers? Peter Lawrence has
sent me a Facebook message of the white Al River

(09:49):
for the Marlborough Community Facebook page. Someone attend in the
middle of the river. So there have been people with
bad camping experiences. Did you get washed out labor weekend?
And what's your worst of a camping experience? Would love
to hear from you. Marcus till twelve. All the lines
are free if you do want to come through. Cheapest creepers.
Marcus going to Auckland fifteenth seventeenth November for grandson's birthday.

(10:12):
Can't stay with family for various reasons. The thought we'd
tread ourselves to a hotel one thousand dollars per night.
Forget it booked AIRB and B. Just realized coldplays in town.
What are wrought Rebeka. Wow, and you wouldn't want to
go out anywhere to all of those Coldplay fans out

(10:33):
and about gosh because they're a special breed cheapest. That's
why Old Swiftly Tailor didn't come. There's not enough rooms
for all those people to be there. I couldn't work
and I've got air wormed by Adele's that was coming
into work at the Souper Market singing Adele, which is
not like me. Don't even know where I picked it up, Marcus.

(10:54):
You talking about short weeks next year, Easter Monday falls
on April twenty one, the same week Anzac Day falls
on the Friday, the twenty fifth, So any working people
who can take three days and you'll leave on the Thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and that's same week. We'll get ten days holiday from
Good Friday on the eighteenth through the end of Anzac
weekend at the Rain and that all falls with the

(11:18):
New Zealand school holidays. Always enjoy your program, Chairs, Rayling.
That's good. Until Raylen, I saw a lot of those
articles about oh my god, you take three days off,
but I don't click on those. But I didn't realize
it was that good. That's flip an extraordinary goodness.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Show.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I got the kids as well, because that's a good
time to stretch it out anyway. Welcome people. Twenty four
past eight. My name's Marcus Eddle twelve. Camping goes bad
and bad experiences from the long weekend Marcus. I was
playing watching in Wellington this afternoon about five ten pm
playing attempt to land wobbled all over the place, and
then when it got really low on the wings, whipping

(11:58):
up and down, I freaked out. I thought it'd clip one,
and then it pulled up again. I boughted the landing
and went around again. It's successfully about fifteen minutes later.
I bet everyone scream the first time and cheered when
it finally touched down. I think cheering when it lands
is a bit parse now, Marcus. We put a mattress

(12:20):
in the back of the station wagon and went freedom
camping on Thursday down at Thornbury Bridge, by Riverton and
south end the River. The river flooded and we had
to get a father to tow us out. Were then
headed to the top ten in vera cargo for the
rest of the week. I don't know why you'd camped

(12:41):
by the Thornbury Bridge. You should have given me a tinkle.
We've got to put you up. Beds are plenty on
the Thornbury Bridge picnic area. Overnight camper van it's on
Rankers sheep has never thought to go there. Sixty six

(13:02):
Anderson Road, Thornbury. Then get in touch Marcus till midnight tonight, Steve. Welcome. Hello,
Oh hi Steve Marcus.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Good evening, Hello Stephen.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Here here.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
In nine eight seven, I went up the Corimandel town
and took my motorbike and a CA and my tent
and I camp said, camped up in one of the
camping grounds. And I went up to see a friend
of mine that lived up at Driving Creek, and I

(13:39):
found that he died three years before.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
And he told me, Wow, you're back arrival, doesn't it?

Speaker 6 (13:48):
It does rather. Anyway, I got back to the camp
and I'll set myself up with the tent up and everything.
I thought, well, I have a couple of days look
around town. Oh about eight o'clock at night, I get
a ret on the side of the tent from that
camp owner. You better go into one of the cabins.
You're surrounded with water. It absolutely hosed in the tent

(14:13):
was surrounded. I was dry, so I had a four,
you know, a plastic four in there and it sort
of fits around, so I was okay. But anyway, and
I waited out and reset myself up in one of
the cabins. There's very nice people, and then I spent
three days looking around Carimental town. I got the last day,

(14:39):
the sun came out, I was able to get dry,
everything picked up. I thought, well, I'll go back to
see this friend that had died. His wife was still
were living in the house, and anyway, go back and
she said, look, she says, we've She said, we've got

(15:00):
a cabin on the property and we're looking for a
grounds person caretaker. There was the five acre property. She said,
would you be interested? Though, I don't know to think
about that. So anyway, I ended up wandering back to Auckland,
and within a month I'd sold up everything and moved

(15:22):
up to Coromandel. I spent ten years there as a groundsman, caretaker,
mow the lawn. It worked out well.

Speaker 7 (15:32):
But yeah, those three days.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
It just rained. I've never seen rain like it.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And it's quite a funny thing when you're in a
tent for three days and it's wet because you kind
of you've become quite institutionalized to the tent, don't you think, well,
this is it?

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, some people that had the camp offered one of
their cabins, but still was still wet, you know. I
mean it was like you're standing outside under a tap.
It rained like that for three days. But anyway, we
managed all right, got dry and we got back home.

Speaker 8 (16:08):
All right.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
And hm, that was a wee bit of a camping nightmare.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Not deform me, Steve, Thanks for much that. Oh wait, yeah,
Jeff Marcus.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Welcome all right.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Okay, Jeff, you got your radio on there? Thought that out.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Good?

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Jeff?

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, get o mate. I've got a story about camping.
But the camping hunting camping trup trump in the terror
of Arrangers of Levan, going back right right back in
about nineteen sixty nine turned into tragedy for my mate.

(16:48):
It was such a sad day.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Was he killed?

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, what happened was we went just out of Leven
there's a river called the Oha River, and you go
up there hunting shooting red deer. Okay, yeah, copy, Now
we went up there, but the four cast changed when
we were up there, and we weren't in apart of

(17:15):
the terror of rangers. Where there was where there was
a hut, and it's too dangerous to try and cross
from one side of the river to the other, even
though I probably could have done it. But we came down.
I woke up in the morning and you can imagine

(17:36):
what our tents were like in those days. And I
woke up bobbing up and down on the river. The river,
the river, the Ohio River came up so high. I
woke my mate up and says, come on, get out
of here. Let's get out. So we scrambled out of

(17:56):
the tent, pulled the teams out out of the river.
Because we're about three meters three to four meters.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
And if you both you both survived, well, no, well
hang on the hang on there, I just come back
to you. Don't go, jief, don't leave. So that you
both are and the river comes up and you're in
three feet of water.

Speaker 9 (18:17):
And hello, yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
So we had to get out. We had to try
and get out, so we went down the road. We
were walking down the edge of the river and threw
the boys to get out. But then we had a
big bluff area like a gorgey part, and we were
climbing up over the top and I said to my mate,

(18:43):
don't go so close to that edge, stay up here,
something to hang on to. And anyway, it was too
late and he slipped and went forty feet to his death.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh, for goodness sake.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
So that's the most tragic camping I've ever done.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, well that's sort of different take for tonight's show.
Did you have to tramp out and get because no communication,
no epop or anything there? You tramped out to get help?

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Well, I had. I climbed down the cliff on a
rope and with my swan dry on and slid down
the rope to grab him. I didn't know if he
was dead or alive at that stage. I slid down
the ripe under the river, grabbed him out of the river.
I was he would have floated down the river. And

(19:37):
then I put him in a sleeping bag and I
had it out to get help. But when the doctor
came up, he declared that my mate was dead.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Did they chopper or did they walk in? So did
they walk in or they chopper in?

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Nah? We had to walk and you couldn't. You can't
get a chopper in there. You can't get a helicopter in.
So it was the most tragic camping hunting holiday I've
ever had in my whole life. And he's seventeen, he
was seventeen. Yeah, we're only seventeen years of age.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Oh that's heartbreaking, it was.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
So it took me a long time to get over there.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
And it was eight did you say that it was
nineteen eighty eight.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
It was nineteen sixty nine when it happened. I was
fifteen in nineteen sixty seven, and seventeen and nineteen sixty nine,
and so was Gerald, my mate. So it was the
most tragic camping hunting holiday. Well, I won't say holiday,

(20:56):
but trip I've ever had in my whole life.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
And the mistake was oh well, the mistake wasn't it
do with we you camped? It was to do with
the walkout, wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Well, well, it was hunting, but it was also camping.

Speaker 10 (21:09):
You know.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
We had we had tens. If we had gone to
the other fork of the river, we could have got
to a hut and gone out another way. Anyw live.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's free young to have a tragedy like that affecting someone,
isn't it.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yeah, Well, we make decisions sometimes and sometimes are not
all always are correct.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Nice to hear from you, Jeff, Thank you Marcus. We
camped at aarc Taa Pakanga and all can have a
low weekend. The first don at midnight, we had three
security guards wake us aggressively asking for permit. They went
around raking the entire campsite. They're aggressive, didn't leave us alone.
After we showed them our permit. We had to call
the range who sorted out. It was extremely scary and
none of us got to sleep that night. I have

(22:00):
got certainly a slight a slight bit of sympathy for
people that need to police campgrounds, because what happens with
the freedom campers is they just wait till I happened
to spend quite a time camping last summer at a
dot campground, and because I'm used to getting up later

(22:24):
in the morning, I stay. I was, you know, wake
at midnight kids, well sleep, I was still awake and
we're in a remote place. But every night at midnight
all these camper vans would arrive. I think that's weird.
They're all coming up at midnight, but they were coming
up then because they were doing that to avoid paying
the night fees and they're leaving first thing in the morning,

(22:49):
which is theft and arrogance, but also incredibly noisy for
everyone else that's there just doing their kiwi thing and
just daying. And because of course once all the cameravans
arrive at midnight, that's just the start of it.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
Then they go.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Then they go into that van door sliding ritual. It's
almost like they communicating to each other's by Morse code
with the opening and shutting of doors. They've got some
private ritual they do and that went on for about
an hour. Then they'll put their head torches on and
walk around. And then in the six o'clom wan they
did the same thing to get away before the perse

(23:26):
that gets the tickets came back. For those that don't
know where Tapapakanga Regional Park is, it's, you know, it's
the other way to go from Auckland to Thames around
the coast on the way to the hot pools Miranda,
that way beyond Cleveland, beyond Carwakarwa Bay back catch you're

(23:48):
twenty four to nine bad camping experiences, but not dreadful
camping experiences, because not that great at handing those sorts
of calls, a run out of things to say. Oh boy,
oh eight hundred and eighty. It all happens Tuesday, doesn't it?
Not this Tuesday? Next Tuesday, although really I think probably
the American election already be on Wednesday outside wind because

(24:10):
it's even though it's on the fifth, they are a
day behind. It's kind of the way it works. I
think twenty four away from nine. If you want to
be part of it, my name is Marcus Hddle twelve.
Any breaking news, we're here for it are terrible labor
weekend experiences and terrible camping experiences when it rained and
rained and rained and rained.

Speaker 11 (24:31):
Well.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
The other sport I tried to watch was Formula one. Yeah,
I've never known too much about Formula one, but I
can kind of see the appeal, particularly now there is
a new Zealander involved. What I didn't realize that struck

(24:55):
me as incredibly surprising. I never realized how light the
cars were, like six forty kilograms the cheapest. Yeah. Now
there are changes for in zed Post. Yeah, they've got
your listening in it. In zed Post. Probably mail deliveries

(25:23):
are going to go to two days per week. Gosh,
we've witnessed that now time. By the way, when I
say things like that, that is not me saying it's
a good idea that they're going to two days a week.
I'm just saying that's what's happening. It's two days a week. Mind.

(25:49):
You See, you might begin the mail on it twice
a week, but you're getting your timid deliveries four times
a day, so it all evens out. It's kind of
amazing how they thought that kind of it was all
going to be the end, and then in fact what
happened was that careering became bagging it. So no post

(26:09):
was all about currying. By the way, Simon in his predictions,
predicted New Zealand posts to go one day a week
in his predictions. If that becomes right, he's a legend
because no one makes as a bolder prediction as Simon
has made. Simon's other four predictions were Farmac's annual funding doubles.

(26:33):
That's a bit of a dry one, yep, several labor
MPs retire, Well, that's just a lazy prediction because that
always happens. Telecom major telecom outage lasting several days, and
the chateau to reopen. Well, I think in terms of prediction,

(26:56):
the shadow one is good, but that one's very good
about us in post to one day a week because
we famously don't have a letterbox, and that's brought us
no end of joy. There's not one time in my
life I thought, Joe, I wish we had letter box,
not one, not even for a micro second. Never, never,

(27:22):
even when the ambulance goes back and forwards past the
place looking for our house, I still think it's worth
it to have that freedom from junk. Marcus, did you
come across a street dubbed the Great Cheese Robbery? Scammed
out of nine hundred and fifty wheels of cheese and
suspected to be stole off the Russian black market due

(27:43):
to the heavy sanctions against Putin, which begs a question,
what is the most expensive cheese in the world? Which
one tops your listed or I'm not an overly cheesy person,
but I do like the one with Carraway seeds, and
and I'm partial to immental. I think I enjoyed the
way it's said. But cheese is cheese. It's all good.

(28:09):
But there's such a thing as a bad cheese. I
wouldn't eat cheese and a tin like sometimes you get
whipped cheese you can spray. I wouldn't eat that. No,
I've no such thing as a bad cheese that I
can think of. I've never experienced a bad cheese. I

(28:32):
even quite those ones in the plastic wraps. I think
cheese by nature is just pretty much delicious. I've never
had a cheese it's too kind of too full on
mind you. The night is still young, Chris, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (28:48):
Yeah, good, I mate. You may comment you have no
numbers or letter box or anything to identify your property.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
No letter box, that's right.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
You can got no rapid number outside. No, I suguce
you have one in such a way that if you
will electrocude it. And there's to be as a home
where one of your kids is electrocuted and you're trying
to save with mouth to mouth of the compression. The
last thing you want to be doing is leaving them
and running out for the road and try and find
an ambulance at midnight or something like that. When you

(29:21):
live in the country, you're relying on other people's knowledge
to either know where you are or have some identification.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah I'm not, Chris, I'm not living in the country.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Well, even in town, you should have a number. You
need some sort of identification. You turned around and says
on Marcus Lush, you know where I live? Bollocks, I
lived next.

Speaker 10 (29:45):
Door to the church.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I've never said that I don't live this to the church.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
Yeah yeah, but have you said where do you live
next door to the church?

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Which church?

Speaker 9 (29:54):
And while you're arguing that out, they're still trying to
find out where the hell you live?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
I think they just work it out with the next
door neighbors numbers, wouldn't.

Speaker 9 (30:01):
They, Well, they know you're next door neighbors numbers that
they own their names.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
No, but if there's a missing number between they're going
up sequentially, they would know, wouldn't they.

Speaker 9 (30:11):
Well, No, because because I was I was contract meter reading.
Numbers on changed that year, and numbers on roads changed
that much, and the people haven't got numbers on their boxes.
I used to write them on them because because the
next person down the track, well, I knew where they were.
There was a there was a case mark because I

(30:31):
knew where they were.

Speaker 10 (30:32):
But you haven't.

Speaker 9 (30:33):
You're on contract time. You haven't got time to pee
around look up for people's numbers, So you'd write if.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
You'd write with a fat you'd write with a wow.

Speaker 9 (30:46):
Yeah, well on the on summary where I could see it.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I like you. I like your opinion nature, Chris. If
you've got a comment on the postage down to twice
a week.

Speaker 9 (30:55):
Where you get done this about three times now anyway
where we're out in the country.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
It's going to go least it's going to go down
to two. And I think that's quite important if you
rule to get it more frequently.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
Yes and no, because I take all the flyers and
stuff because I want to know what's happening. And I
take our local racks because I want to keep up
what's what's happening in anything that's sort of going on
in the area.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Hang on. You like the flyers, well, I like.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
The flyers in such a way that if there's something
that I want to take get from Repco or something
like that, I do my own repairs and stuff and
owned building and that I like to know what's happening.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Wow, it doesn't.

Speaker 9 (31:36):
Well, a lot of people do, but a lot of
people still if you're not informed, you've got no knowledge
what's happening.

Speaker 8 (31:45):
I wouldn't call.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
I don't know if junk mails informing you is it
well local?

Speaker 9 (31:51):
We get a North Canterbury News and the Observer to
local papers, they'll tell you what's happening, where it's happening,
if there's been burglars or spade of burglars, what sort
of vehicles running around, all that sort of stuff, the
local markets, if kids are trying to sell something or
have problems, if there's going to be a drone in
your area doing survey so you don't blot out the sky.

(32:13):
There's a whole bunch of stuff that is handy to know.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Wouldn't most informs wouldn't most of that stuff now beyond
the community Facebook page. Yeah, but they discussions. I don't know,
they get a bit.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
Yeah. Yeah, Well, I'll be honest. I put some stuff
on the community Facebook page. I mean I'm told to
take it and I got told to take it down.
I got told to take it down by the locals
because I criticized the council. Wow for what Yeah, Well,
the council did a road repair and they blocked the
road off here and cust and it was road was

(32:49):
blocked with stop and go signs and they had four
minutes on the stop and go signs, so when the
car there's only a few cars, you had to wait
four minutes to the next time to get to stop
and go right. Then when they finished the job, they
left the signs up and the cones up, and those
road cones, I believe they rent them out or either
two or three dollars a day to the council. So

(33:10):
as a rate parer, we were paying towards that they
didn't remove the mark to two weeks. I rung up
the council. I said, that time you got rid of
your stuff. But when I commented about the road repair
being stuff, within six weeks they were in repairing the road,
I went, hold on, you're going to pay the count
these contractors to come back again, or are you going
to use the same You're going to use the same

(33:30):
clowns to see the do the Mickey Mouse job again?

Speaker 5 (33:32):
Or not cool?

Speaker 9 (33:34):
And people didn't like the I didn't call them Mickey Mouse,
but I just turned around and said they are culpable
of doing the job, that they can't do the job,
employ someone else. Six weeks the road should not have
to be repaired, considering they blocked it completely off. And
the locals just didn't like my comment, Oh could you
please remove your criticize in the council? I went, hold on,

(33:56):
if you want to make that comment, you put your
hand in the pocket and pay the extra five or
ten percent or fifteen or even twenty percent. They try
and walk out of your pocket all the time.

Speaker 10 (34:05):
Because have you been.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Have you been banned from the Kearney Facebook page yet?

Speaker 9 (34:09):
No, no, no, they just asked me to take it down.
So I've got a blurbin of your people don't like
my comment, you let us know who you are and
you can pay. You can pay the extra.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
The cancil Gee straight shooter Chris flip O, Well, what
bit of Chris's What comment that Chris made? Did you enjoy?
The most someone has texted through what they liked was
when he said, I love it. Blow the droid of
this guy. Excellent.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Wow. So he's all about obeying it, but he's going
to shoot the drone down. Marcus Christopher Willington mayor very
good Marcus. Chris seems like the type of guy that
would fall out with people on Facebook, print media, carrier,
pigeon your name it. He'll find a way of falling
out with people. Goodness me Marcus. I'm sure emergency series

(35:03):
are using gds rather than putting the head of the
windows shotting a torch on letterboxes. Oh, someone says, get
it right, rural post will be three times a week,
and it'll be two times a week. Tom, Well, that's
why I said. I said it'll be twice a week
delivery in the urban areas. I didn't mention the rural areas.

(35:25):
I think Chris did. By the way, I've checked on
Google Maps. There is a the local community group came
around and put numbers on everyone's house, so there is
a pole with the street number on it. I've just
checked on Google Maps. Please. I made the lawns because
the lawns look so smart on Google Maps today or

(35:47):
Google streep View. It's looking that got to get it
looks fantastic. It's always good to do the edges just
before Google the Google truck comes around and takes a
photo of your house. Hosts. Yeah, fine, they've got to
do the lawns. I got to admit that it's fun
with the electric mower, but it will the battery.

Speaker 9 (36:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I missed the noise, that's me. I missed the noise
of the old, old iron horse. Marcus. I'd like Chris
as a real number. I'd like Chris as a rural neighbor.
He's a real watchdog. Cheers Mecca. Marcus. What have happened

(36:28):
to Little paint the house number on the house roof campaign?
Or did it get lost with the nineties. I don't
remember that. Pay the number on the roof of the house.
I'll be up for that, Marcus and christ Chich. We
have Mojuscuter DX mail as well as redcut in z Post. Marcus,

(36:48):
the reason why the boy races are throwing bottles, rocks
and fireworks at the police is because the government hasn't
banned fireworks. They are stockpiling and they're going to use
them as weapons. Just look overseas. One guy liked it
when he said, when you or one of your kids

(37:10):
electrocutes themselves, yet that filled me with positivity, when you
were one of your kids electricate themselves. Well, we have
had the ambulance twice with the kids having fallen from things.

(37:31):
Both successful. Although I think we knew the Ambo, which helps.
I think one of the Ambo peoples at the party,
which helped. That's what happens in the small community. I
wasn't the last hour talking about sport. On the weekend,
I didn't see the rugby because our power went off.
The weather was so bad that the power lines blew

(37:51):
out and there was a break in the lines. I
saw them on the road about three hours of five
houses down. So it was off for a long time. Fathers.
I mean, I'm not critical about how long was off
for because of terrible conditions to be out fixing lines.
But yeah, it was the rest of the night. I
don't know what time it came on early mornings. That

(38:11):
was a situation that was out for a long long time.
Guess why I died to see the rugby. So no
comments on that because there was, as I say, a
power cut and aphi dramatic one at that actually, so
that's that. Get the texts through people? Seven past nine,
Can I just say too, I don't know, and I

(38:32):
don't want to. I don't want to, I don't I'm
trying to think of the right word. It's not gaslight.
But I don't want to taunt you with such a
standard and obvious topic. However, with Chris talking about traffic

(38:59):
cones and there's so much discussion about traffic cones, I
couldn't work out. His point was, it seems to me,
when you do roadworks you need to indicate to the
drivers the parts of the road they can't go on.

(39:25):
And once upon a time it used to be forty
gallon drums with diesel burning lamps on the top, which
must have been a huge plava to put out there
and indicate where the roadworks were, and wooden barriers. But
that's all gone or given way to road cones, which

(39:50):
I think worked pretty well. Obviously there are certain costs,
and I guess there's problems with leakage and people stealing them,
but that's thematic as well, because you can't really have
a bounty on road cones because then people will steal

(40:13):
them for the bounty. And that's what happened with John
Major when he was Prime minister. He was tracking along
quite well until he introduced a hotline for road cones
for people that saw road cones dumped and rivers and stuff,
and he was so ridiculed it lost in the Prime ministership.
Well that's an abbreviated form. But anyway, So yeah, all

(40:36):
these people that go on and on about road cones,
fair enough. I know that you bring up the radio
to release some heat. But what's the alternative, and what's
your point? I don't think there's anything that's better than
road cones. Is there when they're highly visible. If they
go under the car, they don't ruin the car or
the road cone. I think they're pretty good. My only

(40:58):
probably suggested that maybe the council should be buying ones
on Temu because they're probably the same ones, but much
much much cheaper. I've got no idea whether they're built
or made, Marcus, we're all living can be quite hazardous.
You could get zepp by the ectric fence and stumbled a
rabbit hole and break your leg falling into a gorsepecially

(41:18):
need help. Painting the house number on its roof was
supposed to help guide the police chopper and Westpact Rescue chopper,
especially in rural districts. Well, I guess they've got GPS
now on Google Maps, Marcus. I always saved my junk mail.
Then when the tax department of the local body posts

(41:39):
me anything with a self addresser to an envelope, I
jamp pack it full of junk mail and post it
to them because I believe they pay for the envelope.
But they don't pay for the postage on it until
it's sent back to them. Wow, brilliant, Someone says, love
road cones, We need more. I know what it was

(42:00):
like when you went for the Minister of Works. But
they must have had huge areas full of forty gallon
drums and those oil burning lights that they had, I
presume they're or diesel burning. Were they been flicker all night?
Who I've never given you a chance to talk about

(42:20):
road cones, Craig, it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Good evening, this good evening, Marcus. You know what we
have a problem here in Burnside christ Sitch here some
of these streets where a lot of the government houses
are getting built, and they might have to block off
a road and put miles of road cones out. But

(42:44):
the troublers, I'll watch them and picking them up. And
you get these eighteen year olds and trucks right and
you look at them and they are two busy texting
their girlfriends what's happening tonight? And half of the road
cones are behind cars. They don't actually get out of
the truck to walk along the footpath or the pavement

(43:04):
to check on the road cone near will pick it
up and when they do pick them up, it's about
three or four.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Of them left behind.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
And I always ring up the council. The council don't
do anything. They get you know, you ring them up
and you and they say, oh, yes, we'll get onto
that immediately.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
How do you how do your phone calls where the council.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Go, oh yeah, they say, yes, we'll look into it
and we'll pick them up.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But a week up you're up to say, oh good
a council. It's Craig. Here the young guys on the
back of the truck texting the girlfriends have left road
cones that they've been too lazy to pick up on
our street.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
Just about yep, yeah, yeah, because I've actually seen them.
And half of these road cones I can't believe it.
They're all from different contractors. Is met just every men
and his dog in christ which owns a road company?
A road cone company?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
You r do you run the forensics on the cone?
And you know who makes them? I thought that'll be
made by the same company.

Speaker 5 (44:12):
No, no, no, the company that provide puts them out
are all different, a little different, you know, like the
contrary the people that put them out, they're all different
different firms, yes, companies, but.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
The cones themselves, the cones themselves are all the same,
aren't they.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
Yes, yes they are Marcus yeah yeah. But the problem
I have is, yeah, it's all very fine putting them out,
but when it comes to collecting them, Oh, I forgot
about the ones around the around the corner, down down
the street a bit. They forgot the big fine saying
road rims O. I forgot that, you know, and they

(44:51):
don't pick them up.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Craig, how does that make you feel that? Does it
make you feel like they're wasting your money? Is that
what it's about?

Speaker 9 (44:58):
No?

Speaker 5 (44:58):
It makes here He'll take a banana republic, you know
what I mean? Because I'm neat and tiny sort of guy,
and you know, like you see you go more bloody
road cones. You know they left them out, you know. Yeah,
it just annoys me.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Run once you run the council, they come out and
get them.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
No, no, no, they don't. No, So I'll just waste
my time. Just look at I'll probably stop the car
and just look at the stamp on the road cone.
It might be Fulton Hogan or Isaac's, and I wring
them up and so because you've got to get out
your roknes come and collect them. If you've got the
ones around in the corner, Oh a co mate, we'll

(45:43):
get those, you know.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Is it the way they talk? So who are you ringing?
Your ringing the company as well. That's from the side
of the map that you're supposed to collect them.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
Okay, yes, yes, yes, supposed to collect them. Yeah, but
you can look behind cars or something, you know, you.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Make yourself busy.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
Well yeah, yeah, very very I don't know if it's
the right word. I'm very patriotic about this area where
I live. You know, I see a lot of fly
tipping too. People putting couch These young ones have put
couches out on the burn. That doesn't make sense. They've
all got rich cars. They're all got flashboy race of

(46:24):
cars with tow bars.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
On the back of them.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
They can't even be bothered to put a trailer on
and say, oh, better take this couch to the dump. Now,
they just stick it out on the burn.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
You have much time for young people now, carry.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
Some of the some are very intelligent, but some of
them around here who are renting, they just couldn't care
less about neighbors.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Yeah, yeah, but what's.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Your what's your area, Craig, did you say Burnside? Nice
part of town.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
It is if it's kept well, yes, if it's a
lot of the A lot of the old school are left,
private houses gone, and the rest homes they've had them
there since nineteen sixties and either renting them ount and
of course young people want to get into rental. When
they get into young they get into and you know,
they've got to bring their boy racer WAYD cars around.

(47:23):
That's what you hear, is you know all night because
I even got double glazed windows, and that's what you hear.
And then they've got big couches and where we tires
all out in the boom, and my god.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Got the traffic cones. If we wear behind cars, you
got the old coach couches. You've got the blue racers.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
Oh wow, oh yeah, yeah yeah, flipping circuits.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
I'll tell you it sounds like a three.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Well.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
I hope that's helped you get a bit off your chest. Great,
because I enjoyed that greatly always for I was living
in You paint such a vocative picture young guys clicking
the road cones, texting the girlfriend flip. I guess that's
probably what they are doing on the snapchat. Nickett's Marcus, welcome,
good evening, Good a Marcus.

Speaker 10 (48:17):
Look, I'll tell you if you we were trying to
sell a house and burnside at the moment, you wouldn't
be happy with old make phone calls, won't you?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
And this you're selling a rental, I guess probably, or
with the boy races the flickered.

Speaker 10 (48:32):
Leaf, you wouldn't go anywhere near the joint. Hey, now listen,
what do you reckon it cost to buy a road tone?

Speaker 2 (48:37):
One hundred bucks? I reckon yeah?

Speaker 10 (48:39):
And I think they rent them out if you go
on mister Google to rent a road cone and New
Zealand's something like four dollars a day. Now, obviously they
probably if you're putting out a thousand of them, well
you probably don't quite charge out. But it seems to
me you could pay off a road cone in a
month and then it's all profit, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
I don't know if there's a I don't know if
there's a bus a model for it. Is there something?
If the council had how much would a road cone
cost if you had a located chip in it?

Speaker 10 (49:11):
A located chip? Well, that would be a bit more.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
It'd be one hundred and forty bucks.

Speaker 10 (49:16):
Oh, probably, But I'm just talking about you know, if
you buy a one for one hundred bucks and you've
rented out four dollars the day, or you've paid it
off in a month.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
So what don't counseled or what aren't counseled by their own.

Speaker 10 (49:28):
Well, yeah, I guess but some of the yeah, some
of at State Highway. So that's more of a government.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Okay, Well, i'll because it does seem to be a
very lucrative trade to be in. If you can, if
you can double your money. I mean, you know, you've
got a road cone and you've paid itself off in
twenty five days than then on everything else's profit. That's
a good record.

Speaker 10 (49:50):
That's not bad. That's a record right now. Because I
was in Melbourne a year and a bit ago, and
I will Colin's Yeah, wonderful, said if we used to
live there, wonderful. Anyway, there was this on Colin Street
or Little Colin Street, and in the CBD there right
there was I purpose he stopped and watched. There was
a small digger digging up some concrete.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Many road codes are around it.

Speaker 10 (50:16):
Well, I'll tell you what I thought New Zealanded to
be one hundred road cones either side of it, at
least probably going round the corner. In Melbourne they had
two concrete barriers in front of the digger, a road
cone at the end of each of the barriers. So
two road cones and one gentlemen just standing there helping
people through and directing cars. So two concrete barriers, two

(50:36):
road cones and one person.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (50:39):
And I looked at that and thought of that sounds that.
Look that's a bit more like it, isn't it. I mean,
you know, we haven't all got stupid written on our forehead.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Have you done anything with an information that you've come back?

Speaker 8 (50:50):
Nick?

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Did you take photos and show that to people in charge?

Speaker 7 (50:54):
No?

Speaker 10 (50:54):
I thought i'd bring you and tell you all about it.
And I've been waiting every night pat him into this
bloody road cone conversation, and it's finally come along tonight.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
It is talk about catting up the old road cones
because people get sown so few, and I can't well,
I think that's ky, but what else would you do?

Speaker 11 (51:15):
What?

Speaker 10 (51:15):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (51:16):
I think you know, I enjoy it, but I just
wonder if people didn't use road cones, what else would
they use to You know, they're fairly useful, resourceful, but it.

Speaker 10 (51:28):
Doesn't need to be. It doesn't need to be four
hundred meters of them either side of something going on.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
But do you think this just do you think there's
people taking backhanders to go and put out twice as many?
Do you think that's what happens that getting backhanders? I'll
tell you what.

Speaker 10 (51:46):
Yeah, it's like something out of the Sopranos. Of course
it is. It's a fad as waste management type situation
in New York with the mask here, it's no, it
is a racket. It's an absolute roar. I challenge someone
that owns a road cone company to ring up tonight.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
They need witness protector, have to disguise their voice.

Speaker 10 (52:04):
Wouldn't know, but I'm trying to. I'd like, I reckon
the whole country should go on a murder of road cone.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Here we go, Okay, there you go?

Speaker 11 (52:13):
Nick?

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Which team to just support? Which team to you support
when you're in Melbourne?

Speaker 10 (52:19):
Are the Mighty Carlton Blue Boys any good?

Speaker 7 (52:24):
Well?

Speaker 10 (52:24):
I only chose them because when we turned up there,
I thought, well I've got to get into this, and
you know, all the stripey uniforms aren't very flattering, and
Carlton had a lovely blue uniform with a lovely emblem
right in the middle of it. So I went to
the mighty mighty Carlton Blue boy. I still remember the
song we are the Navy Blues, the old dog Navy Blues.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
So you went to support the team with the most
flattering uniform for yourself if you brought the jersey.

Speaker 10 (52:50):
Yeah. When we lived there, I thought, well, let's have
a look at some of these teams, and they're all
those funny stripes, and I was like, stripes going the
wrong way. And I was like, oh, that's all little
bit ordinary. And then Carlton came along one day and
their lovely blue uniforms and lovely emblem and and and
then that was me.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Did they bring home the silver wear?

Speaker 10 (53:12):
One year that we were here, they made the Grand Finals.
But anyway, I don't call it Ossie rules. I call
it Bossie no rules. So it's not Australian rules, it's.

Speaker 8 (53:25):
As no rules.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
You need a podcast the game.

Speaker 10 (53:30):
I've been told that. Now listen, you go to the
m c G and it's just a mess of barroom brawl.
It's all you're watching. Wow, it's just Oh, it's good,
it's good.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Who told you you need a podcast?

Speaker 12 (53:46):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (53:47):
A couple of people along the way.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Brilliant, Well you do, Nick, Let's be rather be better
than you know. Goodness gracious me. I wait to say it,
but it would be better than no way to say it.
And they're just interview themselves. I'd like to hear some
new people doing some talking to some new people. I

(54:09):
feel there's a street or there's a street of cafes
in Auckland. It's just full of people interviewing each other. Jamie,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 11 (54:19):
Evening, Marcus. You're probably right about the cafe interviewing things too. Yes,
I'm going to make the head greenkeeper down there at
the Burnside Bowling Club, which is one of the Flashes
bowling clubs in New Zealand, I must ask in houses ghetto.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Area, going oh well, yes, okay, yeah, gee.

Speaker 11 (54:39):
I didn't realize it was so far down hell there,
he's got the Flashes bowling club in the country, and
the area around it was so with all those poor
people renting houses.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Well, I think what happens in Christ that all the
suburbs are quite fluid depending on the real estate agents
flicks them. So suburbs grow and get smaller depending on
the house prizes. So I don't actually know where Burnside
is anymore.

Speaker 11 (55:01):
So yeah, spread out of it.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Well, no, it seems yeah, anywhere you go none and
you're good.

Speaker 11 (55:08):
Yeah. Your road cone thing, great, great topic on with
you made on an affirmative.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
There is there is really no better option.

Speaker 11 (55:14):
And whilst they might be companies out there scamming the
system a little bit better, you've got a cater to
the stupidest of drivers. So you can't have cones that
are ten meters apart because there'll be some idea that
drives between them and.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Then a roadworker. Then a roadworker gets killed.

Speaker 11 (55:27):
Yeah, and all of these people ringing up. You know,
have you ever been out in the heat and actually
work today outside?

Speaker 2 (55:34):
You got to wear that, You got to wear that.
You've got to wear that full safety thing too these
days with legislation. So you're boiling hot and you've got yeah,
I mean you know how it.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
Is now, Well, I work out, I'm the same, I
work outside, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Have to get that but if you're working, if you're working,
if you're working traffict management, you've got to And then
you're out there, you go and you've got Barry Burnside
yelling at you for not picking up all your cones
off for texting your girlfriend.

Speaker 11 (56:02):
And then he's ringing the council, who have really no
control over those tones anyway.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
He's ringing Fulton Hogan, he's ringing the cone company.

Speaker 11 (56:11):
Yeah, and he's running out on the street trying to
stop buy racers who are renting the homes just down
the road. I wonder if he's got down here that
Boonside sounds like real get her.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I wonder, Jmie, if he's getting out one of the
cones and using it like a megaphone. That's what I
would do. Excuse me, no.

Speaker 11 (56:26):
I wonder if he runs out of his house was
like bets and stuff when the kids are running down
the road.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Good on you, Jamie, Thank you. I own a large
traffic management business. The cones are thirty five each if
you buy them by the thousandth and they are not
charged out by the day. The cost of the job
is not altered by how many cones there are. If
you see cat pisses me off when ignorant people make
this decision. Thank you so much, because I think there's

(56:53):
been a lot of ignorance about cones. So I really
appreciate you coming through and telling me that. Wow sheepers,
He says, remember common sense, isn't that common All these
people should be having podcasts? I presume he does. I
would someone pretend to own a perfit management company? I

(57:14):
suspect he probably does. So there's no rental, it's just
one job. I think that was a good bit of
That was a good bit of clarity for that topic.
What about the workers? Do they text the girlfriends when
they should be picking up the cones? Is that what
they're doing? Marcus? I am a roading instructor for Filton Hogan.

(57:36):
We buy our rown road cones by the thousand. It
works out forty dollars per cone, less tax breaks. We
charge them out to the councils based on the job,
and the length of that job works out to be
a dollar seventy per day each cone. We have a
best interest to keep a cone on a job as
long as we can, and a nutshell, we are milking

(57:56):
the councils and they just accept it. Any missing cones
are written off in the text. Please don't put my
name on air. Well, that's a different kind of thing
to the other guy with a road owns, isn't it.
Marcus went a house on the corner of our street
needed some waterweks done. They closed off half the entry
to our Tony coulderzec and put some poor sod there
with a stop go sign. Cones everywhere, Marcus, great topic,

(58:23):
Sabbyan Browning is an urgent in quarry of the overuse
of owned and us. Thanks Marcus. I just wish I
had been the person invented the road cone. I hopefully
had a patent on them. They must be quite wealthy.
I think the original cones were like cloth cones that
you kind of erected like a tent. They kind of

(58:47):
collapsed and you pulled them up. Twenty four for one,
Susie baits out for four run out. It's not good
when they're getting run out. Twenty eight to ten. Andrew,
it's Marcus, welcome, Hi qut Andrew, thank you.

Speaker 13 (59:02):
This is a very good topic. I just pull over
on packed.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Well, that's a good topic. It's got you pulling over. Yes,
it's a good time. Yep, thank you.

Speaker 13 (59:10):
This is well you've had some good, good discussions from
the people that actually have the owner traffic management companies.
But what I think would be really good for a
journalist to actually go out there and spend a day
on a tricky site so you could actually see how
hopeful some of the drivers are that can't follow simple

(59:31):
instructions and they some people have a little Vazouki swift
and they go to do a ute and there's like
three yards in front of them and they have to
they can't judge the distance of the car to just
turn around some road codes that it would give you
quite a different perspective. You actually went on a work

(59:52):
site and saw the level of competency of driving of
people driving around some robots. Some people are absolutely brilliant
and fine, but some people you wonder where they got
their license.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
So you're pro the current conage, Oh well, I.

Speaker 13 (01:00:11):
Think I think it can be a little bit excessive
at times, but then you've got to do everything into
today's society is to the lowest common denominator, so you've
got to make it idiot proof.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
So you know what you know with these people in
the Suzuki swifts, right. Where are you seeing this?

Speaker 13 (01:00:29):
I don't better work in private car parks, parking in
the mall. Did you do any car in any put
any conage down in car park malls and things like that.
I'll say what I'm going to say. You get a
little old lady in that can't drive, and she does,
you know, like, and she just sort of does we
smile at you and shrugs his shoulders. And she's seventy five,

(01:00:53):
and you think that, look, honey, that might have worked
when you were thirty five, but it doesn't really work. Wow,
you can't drive your car. All I'm saying is it
would be an interesting perspective to put a journalist on
some work side so that you can actually see what
the what the standards.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
It'll be a great story for a journalist. They go
under carol, they go out and just see what it's like.

Speaker 13 (01:01:14):
Yep, yep, yep, and then they could report back and think,
you know, I can see why they're so many road cones.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Yeah, no, I'm hearing you. Conage coneage. Nick Curios believes
the Pyramids aren't man made. He's not sure if the
world's flat. Marcus A charge rate is based on an
hourly rate for the TTM truck end Supervisor, which includes

(01:01:43):
all the signs and cones. Then extra people are charged
per hours. They may be required. Two wickets in the
cricket the last few minutes and the bit of a
collapse of Rooney on here Susie Bates run out, Lauren
down Court, Yastika bald Seima off one. So it's not good, Marcus,
fun faked. In Australia, traffic cones are called witch's hats.

(01:02:05):
Really probably very state to state one s some six
seven word texts text white trash boy races with bimbo girlfriends. Wow,
people are good after a wet, long weekend, aren't They're
quite fourth right all about the current conage and excessive conage,

(01:02:30):
but they're right. Someone should go and do it. Spend
the day with them with the traffic management. That would
be a great job for someone to do with a
hard hitting column, because no one's got an idea what's
going on. I've got no idea, No one's got an idea.
Good evening and it's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:02:51):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:02:54):
Just a funny little story about road cones. We were
traveling through a Wanui one day and through The whole
town was marked a single lane with like hundreds of
road cones, and we watched trucks and trailers and delivery
trucks and vehicles. We've followed them all going through. And

(01:03:15):
behind us here was a guy on a John Deere
attractor with some harvesting equipment on the back. Well, there
was nowhere he's going to get through, so he just
drove it and bowled a whole lot. What skittle them?
There must have been hundreds of them and they weren't
even working on that road. They were moving down a
side road.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Did it ruin them all?

Speaker 14 (01:03:37):
I wouldn't know. We didn't wait to see.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Wow, good story and thanks for coming through. Twenty one
away from ten, my name's market Viedl Midnight. The night's flowing, Marcus.
We're just Safari trip in Africa, stelling the Victoria Falls
through Zambia, Namibia and Botswana. Forty five hundred k's only
saw two road cones the whole way. They even put
up a sign for coming roadworks. There will be a
good sized branch of a tree laying in your lane

(01:04:04):
to tell you roadworks through a head somewhere, Marcus, I
thought I had one of those Chinese cats wavings its arms,
I mean the kitchen just now that dude's indicator clicking
on lull. People love a cone discussion, as do I,
as do I. Marcus, how you're doing? I hope you

(01:04:25):
had a good long wee came with your family. Who'd
you mentioned flat earth? And another person who thinks the
earth its flat? As w W e rest the aj
styles was funny seeing signs about that in the crowd
on Raw and SmackDown. You know there's any shortage of
flat earthers. But they asked curious Nick Curius of flat earth.
He said no, he said, let's take the discussion off Mike.

(01:04:50):
But did think that the Pyramids aren't built by man?

Speaker 11 (01:04:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
There you go, that's what Nick Curios said. Here's what
he said about who built them? Always controversial. He believes
the pyramids aren't man made. He says, no, it's impossible.
That's insanely the fact that how is that possibly? They
the Egyptian's got every measurement correct and they're aligned, and

(01:05:17):
they did it with rolling large stones on logs. Why
the door was so big? Like who needs to walk
through the doors if they're that big? I don't know
who it was. I just don't think we were capable.
It's twenty twenty four and we can't even get along,
and you think that we built the pyramids. You're insane.
The moon landing has thoughts on is the Earth round

(01:05:39):
or flat? I'd probably be inclined to say it's Roald,
and I'm not surprised if it was the other thing either.
Maybe we need to have a beer and have this
off the record. Yeah, that's not curios. I don't know.
I didn't know a thing about the doors being so
big on the pyramids was even more reason the Egyptians
didn't build them.

Speaker 11 (01:05:59):
But there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
No shortage, no shortage of people with different views on
the pyramids. Recently saw road cones at Lotness in Scotland.
They had blue and white stripes entry into topoor from
South's Cones City, hundreds of them. So wants to know
whether they, in fact how they manage to build the

(01:06:22):
pyramids without cones. Maybe they had cones cones from Stone Marcus.
I can get you some road cones from China three
dollars each, Tim does it? Say? Kevin?

Speaker 15 (01:06:36):
Yeah, hey, don near Marcus Pyramids. You're talking about how
they built the Pyramids. There's an excellent series called Adventures
and of the Past where they actually show you how
they move those stones. They made rollers, you know, like wheels,
and they and they wrapped them up and wheels and

(01:06:56):
they pulled them up ramps.

Speaker 11 (01:06:59):
Go on.

Speaker 15 (01:07:01):
Yeah, and yeah, that's how they actually building. You have
to watch there is to understand exactly what I'm talking about.
But there's clues to it because there's a lot of
tools and things left behind and they found these models
of these what they worked out to be rollers, and
that's how they did it by wrapping the stones with
the rollers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
I think, can I just say, Kevin and I hope,
I hope you can handle this. I think there's still
some debate on how they were constructed. Are you happy
to concede that?

Speaker 9 (01:07:34):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:07:34):
Yeah, fair enough? Yeah, yeah, what I wanted to ash too, Marcus.
How was your tripp to in Needen when when you're
coming to need and Labor weekend, I was going camping.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Not with that weather it rained? Oh yeah, yeah it
was to Rachel.

Speaker 15 (01:07:55):
Oh yes, I know, yeah, yeap. So they never got
to see the U hillside workshomp. That's a pity.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
A short drive. I'm still coming up there before Christmas.
But no, I didn't get up there. No, I'm smart
enough to know that there's no fun spending a weekend
in a tent. It's not something I do. No, the
beleaset when the kids went up on Friday, they came
back on Saturday because they had practice for the thing
they had they have league. No, but she went up
and they came back, and then they were busy during

(01:08:22):
the day doing stuff. And of course thurday night the
power was out from six to two in the morning.
That was a bit of a we'd eaten eaten, but
that wasn't much fun. And then Sunday it rained and
rained and rain. I think we had visitors.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Did We.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Can't remember. It makes it sound more sophistical than we are.
I think same, we had visitors on Sunday. I watched
the I watched the baseball both days, and the first
day was very exciting. The second day wasn't exciting at all,
and today was just boring. So yeah, that could become

(01:09:03):
a clean sweep.

Speaker 9 (01:09:04):
This is the.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
This is the Dodgers versus the Yankees, the LA team,
So it's supposed to be the two greatest players of
all time facing each other. But there's a guy called
Aaron Judge who is the MVP of the series and
the greatest setter, but well the MVP of the season.
But he just hasn't really hit the ball yet.

Speaker 11 (01:09:24):
Looks.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
It's heartbreaking and watching him come to the plate because
he's just haunted. He just can't hit anything. Got the yips,
lost it. I don't know what is it all? Confidence
trying to explain to the kids, it's just gone. He
just can't hit a ball. And I guess that does
terrifying things to you, because you know you paid the
top dollar and you can't do it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:43):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
I really probably should have in shots in the clubroom
before he comes on, because nothing else is working. Odie
against India, Divine, just clean, bold, beautiful ball, bold, prayer.
Just watching it now, good length. Played the shot in

(01:10:08):
offside stump, but they're ecstatic. So I'll bring it to
scool when that comes up. They're extended for their doing this,
so that not the air punch but the side punch. Marcus,
my husband and I joked we missed an opportunity to
invest in road Cone Company. Think of the dollars we
were made it It's like a fund relationship. What ignoors
me is that traffic management seems to crew out in
the weekends just to check if the cruiser if the

(01:10:29):
cones to be knocked over the night, and they are
rows with little traffic on them. I have road cone
gibbet on my crocs. Anyone's got an opinion about road cones.
I'm not entirely sure what the problem is or what
the solution is, Marcus. I wonder if any injured insurance

(01:10:50):
companies ever paid out on a vehicle damaged by road cones. Equally,
is acc heavy stats on injuries blamed on road cones?
Injury stats were excuders must have dropped by now, Marcus,
don't forget the prior cones and Ministry of works. White
trestles with battery powered amber fleshing lights, that's right, and

(01:11:11):
footy get on drums filled with water or with sand
or with gravel. Oh yes, it's interesting that people are
upset because the pill that's supposed to pick them up
don't pick up all of them. I wouldn't bother to
watch that. It's pretty interesting. Headle twelve, my name's Marcus.

(01:11:33):
Good evening, I wait one hundred eighty Taddy in nine
text new traffic lights for the Luggett Bridge State Highway
eight A neirwarnaka wow, single lane of course that makes sense.
I wait one hundred and eighty Larry Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:11:55):
TI Marcus. Yeah, I don't know if you realize just
how formalize the setting out of those the cones and
signs are. There's manuals produced or the nured TA used
to do them, but you had to qualify to be
a site traffic management supervisor and everyone has to have

(01:12:21):
to submit traffic management plan before works begin and that
gets lodged with the local authority. You check it out
basically that the actual number of cones, the taper, the spacing,
even the size, well it might have changed. That used
to be they had to be nine hundred high on
the on the highway, or if you're just working around town,

(01:12:45):
I think you could use seven hundred and there was
well even if on footpaths about four hundred. But that
might have changed a week. But I had had to
buy quite a number of the ones for a couple
of surveying jobs that I did, but I got inferior
quality ones sent up from an output in christ Church. No, no,

(01:13:11):
actually this was back. It wasn't long after the earth
when they were working on the earth quake stuff. They
supposedly excess of them, but they were at a pretty
good price. But I used them for a little while.
Then I started sort of almost melting and you know,
hot weather, and then if you're stuck stack them, they
all got stuck together.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Well, they'll take you for buying the inferior.

Speaker 8 (01:13:32):
Ones, but I've still got the manuals. Well, you know,
used to have to you know, have ID cards if
you're on site, but uh, then these have site inspectors
come come through and they will drive by with a
camera and kick your set up, you know, if your

(01:13:52):
signs and everything's correct, and that you know, you get redcarded.
It's not I did get redcarded a couple of times
and fielding.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
But so it seems as that there's a lot of
misinformation CORENT and people just think it's a wild way
to rat but they've got no idea. It's highly regulated,
highly formulated and works to keep road people safe and theory.

Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
Yeah, yeah, and perhaps they may well have gone way
over the top in some cases, it seems, but they
will be operating to that particular manual. You know it's
it's it's very explicit. Yeah, they just thought, I didn't
know you had a mates and the Hillside workshops there and.

Speaker 16 (01:14:37):
Okay, yeah, well I think.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
He just done thought that it would be of interest
to me.

Speaker 8 (01:14:41):
I guess yeah, I say, I thought you could. You
could probably take a photo of that sundial through there
and mate work it was steal good knock up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
One of those Oh yeah, yeah, quite like I said, yeah,
but I don't think you did cash. You don't you
do jobs in your spare time now, can you?

Speaker 16 (01:14:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:14:57):
I mean years ago who said to mate? It was
an apprentice in the old Eddington workshops railway workshops in
christ Church and they always seemed to be working.

Speaker 10 (01:15:05):
What they call forg is that your own work?

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Is it?

Speaker 8 (01:15:10):
Yeah? Or Joe, you have job job? That's what they
used to call them foreigners here, But it was everyone
seemed to have one on the go. But I think
the rules have changed since trips.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
It's probably what the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Made this country great. It probably kept people more inspired
at work because they had their own stuff to keep
to work on, which kept them more motivated. I think
it was probably quite a good thing to have your
own foreign Were they call them foreign jobs?

Speaker 8 (01:15:34):
Did you say they just called them foreigners here? But foreign?
And they all seem to have a locker or they
seem to be able to get them in and out
of the site anyway without a quite lade things at times.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Nice to hear from you, Larry, Thank you, thirteen past ten.
Anyone else want to turn on the tap when it
comes to road cones and unleash what they really think?
I think people have found this therapeutic I have. I've
got no problem with their own cones at all. No,
I've never once felt, oh, I've never once felt agitate

(01:16:10):
or wound up by the number of road cones that
I see. Mind you, I'm not driving endlessly around christ
chich imagine there for ten twelve thirteen years it has
been probably weighed. I mean they have lived in a
cone city. But that's because the infrastructure got kind of
pretty badly compromised. So yes, that is me here till

(01:16:31):
twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine
two ticks. We'll also talking about the revery, wet labor
weekend and wet camping trips. That might be something you
want to talk about tonight. I'll go breaking news when
the harbor Bridge closes because of wind that's been forecast.

(01:16:55):
No sign of it yet. The car strangled spanner, but
that seems to be fine at this stage. If you've
got breaking news with you, I'll let us know what
that is. Keep that reported. Yeah, thousands of lightning strikes
have been recorded, seventeen hundred. You're quite sure if that's

(01:17:17):
a lot or not many? And the front's about to
come on shore, thunderstorms and heavy rain and I presume wind.
They're expecting to close the harbor bridge. Extra cares required,

(01:17:38):
especially for high sided vehicles and motorcycles. Yep, yeah, No,
I suppose you've got a high sided vehicle, wouldn't you.
I think this is someone set with something to they are.
There is a recycling cone program, so if you find some,

(01:18:04):
I think RTL will recite call them. Weren't eethery're easy
to recycle or not. There is a story from the
Daily Mail in Australia, hard working Ossie Traffic Control of
fighting for life after being struck down by a car.
A traffic controlers fighting for his life after he was
hit by a car while sitting up traffic cones for

(01:18:25):
a council work site, and that's probably what they're all
very aware of. There's nothing to protect those workers. If
you're cone hater, I mean you're really are wanting those
people to be at more risk. Anyway, Hello Hazel, welcome Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:18:47):
What do you mean to use My late husband and
I were traveling back from Telpho to a holiday to
her own home and toil. And this was when the
cones were very earlier bought out that they were cones,

(01:19:07):
and I was looking at them, and I was doing
the driving, and I said to my late husband, you
know they would make great hanging baskets.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (01:19:22):
And he said to me, would you like me to
reach out in grablen and I said, don't you dear. Anyway,
we arrived back home and write it out letterbox. They
were putting in water meters and there were two cones
and my husband said to the man, my wife spied

(01:19:47):
some when we were coming, and she had ideas of
putting them up and hanging them as planters. And he said, well,
if mine go missing, I'll know where to come to
find them. Years anyway, I had a holiday helmet on

(01:20:12):
the matter and we paid one hundred and thirty pounds
for the section. My mum and I shared it. I
had the back part and I couldn't afford to build
a batch after paying for the land parts. So we
slept in a great big tent. Well, there was forestries

(01:20:36):
there and the trees were bending in the half. They
were only young trees, but they were like elbows and
us in the tent. We nailed it two fall befoors
to keep it upright. The bottom part of the tent
we now, and we had two children, two and four,

(01:21:00):
and we made a bed in the trailers for them
and wheeled the trailer inside the kent. So yes, it
was a great idea, but we were Our own home
was three and a half hours away. We didn't live
here then, we lived in the king Country. So yes,

(01:21:24):
it's sad about the shadow because we used to do
all the work for them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Oh yes, what sort of work.

Speaker 17 (01:21:32):
My husband was an aholester and motor trimmer. All the furniture.
They used to bring it up in great big vehicles
and we would take it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Back and tell me, did you ever did you ever
turn a traffic cone into a planter?

Speaker 17 (01:21:51):
No? No, no, no, no no no no, I'm not
there to sort a person. I grew up on a farm,
and I could have done that quite easily. I had
three brothers, and no I have a I grew up
with chain saws. There were no girls jobs. I grew

(01:22:13):
up with chainsaws. And I recently bought myself an electric
jol And I'll be ninety three and six month term.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
Love you to talk to you, Hazel. Thank you so
very much. Nevill Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:22:31):
On the level.

Speaker 6 (01:22:33):
Good good, hey, listen.

Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
Road cones. I I'm not sure whether it was run
about when we had the earthquakes and christ but it
was going back a bit, but in the in by
the old railway station or maybe over the line from
the railway station there there was a you had a

(01:22:57):
radio announcer there in the morning, free zeb and he
he used to he was talking about the road cones
and how much they cost, and he said that he
was so disappointed that the Christians government were, you know,

(01:23:21):
the the people of crisis were paying for these road cones,
because he said they'd be sitting outside his where we
was operating from, and he said that he just couldn't
work it out why it should be done. And he says,
so we'll see how long this lasts, now that I've

(01:23:41):
put it over the year, and they were gone, and
it's say when he got paperwork, they were gone.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
So was who was that?

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
I'm not sure, but it's ran about the time of
the earthquakes in Christis twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
I don't know who are doing the breakfast then.

Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
I don't know either, but it was real. There's no
short would have been Murray Fogy or someone like that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
I could have been on.

Speaker 7 (01:24:13):
Yeah, I think it might have been Murray. I'm not sure,
but I remember back about that time Murray Fogy was
doing the morning show.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
There's no shortage of radio announcers and hot reacons on
traffic cones, no shortage of them, No no storge of
people with opinions on traffic cones.

Speaker 7 (01:24:34):
Right, that'll be right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
I think Marry Fogy would have been dead by then.

Speaker 7 (01:24:38):
I think he could have well been. There's just a
it's just that I remember him quite well, you know,
like I'll be eight in three weeks time. But it's
come back a fair bit. So Yeah, I could be wrong,
but I do remember he had to he had to

(01:25:00):
climb up a letter into his box and then he
didn't the announce from that box.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
He had to use a ladder. That sounds like a
race caller.

Speaker 7 (01:25:13):
No I won a race callers, No, no, no. Because
of the he had nowhere to work because of the earthquakes,
it was all demolished. So he had this thing set
up just by the Rower Island christ Church or over
the other side of the Rower Island christ Use where
the railway station is. And he had to climb up

(01:25:36):
this ladder there and he was sitting the box up
there and and you know, not just the morning an Answer,
but the afternoon an Answer, and that you must find
that on your records.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
For goodness sake.

Speaker 7 (01:25:50):
Really yeah, true, Let yeah, you had to get in
this box up the top. There's a temporary thing that
they did that he had to get up so high
they built this thing. Uh had a steal on one
thing though. He had to be so high up excuse me,

(01:26:11):
to get the to get the signal out to the people. Yeah,
and he had I don't never.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
Known anyone going hi to get signal out because normally
that happens. That's the text and the wizardry, and that
goes to the top of the building. They go that
out to the repeater yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):
Well, in the earthquake, they might have had that thing
working and I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Know, I don't know is interested in that.

Speaker 7 (01:26:36):
Yeah, yeah, you check it out. Somebody will know. Somebody
will ring your back about it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
Well, I'd like to know who is up the ladder
and who was on three z B.

Speaker 7 (01:26:46):
Yeah well true, yeah, well you should be able to
work that out or somebody will ring here. There's a
lot of people out there that will know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Brilliant Neville. Another wicket Sharma plumber out for thirty nine
courts Sharma And that's the situation here at that. I
think Prayer was the bowler once again. I'll get you
the details and the score. Not happy are not happy
looking skyward sixty nine for four Halida and eleven Green

(01:27:16):
on two Green on two.

Speaker 8 (01:27:19):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
Disgruntled people on their traffic cones Marcus where I go
for my daily walk, past the long term road work here.
I know some kids on fifty c SE scooter is
kicking out of the road cones. I don't notice. They
wear steel poles screwed to the road and then cones
placed over the top. A lot of people think that

(01:27:41):
AI is got a lot of people feel a lot
of hatred for the cone people and chrost chicks. There
are two giant trucks with flashing lights d warning you
of cones being put out. Seems ridiculous. Oversized vehicle must
cost EPs to run. Well, they need that because you're
involved in traffic. You're going slow. It's from safety. Marcus
Ufo spotted over Mount Taranaki. Could have been distant, thunderstorms,

(01:28:03):
bright all then blinding flash. Who doesn't love a blinding
flesh getting touch boy. Finally the weathers come great. But
the road toll was zero. I thought it was one,
but it's back to zero, so there would go zero
zero zero. I just don't think anyone went there because
the weather was so average. There were very few people

(01:28:23):
in Bluffy. They normally got a few camera vans. But
once the power went out for about five hours, I
got in my car. Don't judge me to charge my
phone and get some guess, no one just to But
the wind was sideways for forty eight hours, like really,
like even in a harbor with massive waves coming in.

(01:28:45):
It was unbelievable. Marcus. At what age is a talkback call?
Haveft to voluntarily disclose their age because I think they're
not exactly where did that start happening? And at what
age do you start saying you're not your age? But
how old you're going to be, Like, oh, I'm going

(01:29:08):
to be seventy nine and four weeks. What's the cutoff
if you do it more as you get older? To
do you because you're looking forward to next milestone? Are
very good points. But yeah, I just think this has
been a lot of misinformation and just misinformation around traffic cones.

(01:29:33):
But the person's quite right. A reporter needs to do
a story called All you Need to Know about traffic cones,
the different policies, who puts them out, how much they charge,
who's making all the money? Cause I tell you what,
I've never set anyone on the rich list that's made
all their money from traffic cones. Most of them made
their money from supermarkets and the rich list. But no

(01:29:54):
one ever complains about the supermarkets, just complain about the
traffic cones. Don't know what that's about. People are kind
of triggered by them, but I think someone's whining them
up about it. I suppose you're stuck in traffic in
your car. It gets people, are you who he's making
all that money for those cones. But what better system

(01:30:15):
have you got to keep the worker is safe. I
can't think of one. And everyone's crying about potholes they
got to fix some air, crying about traffic cones. I'll
be more worried about the supermarket trolleys as are dumped.
That's just me an n Z post. It's going to

(01:30:42):
be by bi weekly. That seems to be the answer.
I don't know if that's good nor bad. People always
love a pole, don't they. Let's have a pole on that.

(01:31:02):
Reducing minimum delivery frequency for minimum three days per week
in urban there is to two days per week, and
from minimum five days per week in rural areas to
three days per week. I imagine it will be one
a week by the end of the year. Anyone predict
that Simon's prediction and the sweep Steak Sweeper, he predicted

(01:31:24):
that too, one day a week by the end of
the air nuts. By the way, when I'm saying it's
going to go to two days a week the mail delivery,
that's not what I'm advocating for, because I'll say something,
people are going to be crazy. Two days a week,
that's just what they're talking about, how would you know?

(01:31:48):
As long as you knew what day it was, you
weren't wasting trips to the letter box Marcus. What's frustrating.
It's coming up to the reduced speed signs, so reduce
your speed. Then there are road cones for Africa and
not a work site or traffic person in site. Try
driving the road Auckland Tope or it's dreadful for this
more road codes than sheep, Marcus. I check my letter

(01:32:14):
box each day as is often mail delivered by DX
by people on motorcycles and how could they sustain it? Marcus.
We had to raise pedestrian crossing putting about four months
ago on South Lynn Road, Teterangi. Since then we have
had constant shaking like an earthquake every time a bus

(01:32:35):
or truck goes over, which is quite often as it's
quite a main bus route. There are thirteen holes in
the era experiencing severe shaking, light fixtures, swaying, rattling of
plates and cupboards and other disturbances. Feelings retriggered every time
it happens another wicket In the cricket, we have contacted

(01:32:58):
all can Transport, local Council and riches buses. No resolution yet,
but each day we fear for the vnation of our
use and potentially financial applications for repair or resale. At
eight for five, this looks like a runout. Although our
pedestrian crossing the area is helpful of raised crossing is

(01:33:21):
causing many of our local family stress and worry, which
for us outweighs any benefits. Every When I was having
their house shaped by a sleeping policeman, can Marcus welcome?

Speaker 12 (01:33:38):
Yeah, hey Markus, you're going by?

Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 11 (01:33:41):
All right?

Speaker 10 (01:33:44):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (01:33:44):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Drinking and think a glass of waters?

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
You ask me?

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Yep?

Speaker 10 (01:33:47):
It's good as thank you, sweet as Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:33:51):
The cones and the I'm probably going to talk more
about the road works than the cones. I've worked for
a construction company in Hamilton for a couple of years
and did a little bit of traffic. We the anger
of the traffic and the general public is like, yeah,

(01:34:13):
I've never experienced anything like it. Where we'd close the
road to redo all the drainage for the road, and
my job was to stand at the end of the
road and turn people around and you would get physically abused,
well physically sorry, you'll be abused and physically threatened on
a daily basis. Yeah, just multiple, multiple people threatening to

(01:34:40):
get out of their cars to have a fight with
you because they don't want to drive two minutes around
the road, Like just yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:34:47):
The.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
I mean, and can people commentators, if inadvertently, will have
deliberately caused that anger because they've stoked it.

Speaker 12 (01:34:58):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean people are ringing
up and annoyed about cones. I mean really like they're like,
there's lots of other stuff in the world to be
angry at, Like yeah, I don't know, I sort of
feel for roadworkers, like I can understand why road workers
don't get out of their trucks. I mean you were

(01:35:20):
saying tonight some guys just been hitting and killed putting
cones out as like just yeah, it's it's so dangerous
out there, and people people don't see how angry and
how stupid the public are. The amount of people that
will go the wrong way, Like they get to cones

(01:35:43):
and they freak out and they just yeah, it's it's.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
And I mean it's an active faith that people are
predicted protected by just a bit of place to go
and there's not much there for them. To stop people
hitting them, is there.

Speaker 10 (01:35:56):
No, there's not.

Speaker 12 (01:35:57):
No, That's why I will like I'm a truck driver
and I will stand try and stand behind my truck
as often as like you just yeah, you've got to
watch out for everybody. Never turn your back on traffic.
There's some yeah, as you're health dangerous man.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
So yeah, I think it's a really timey I think
it's a very timey thing what you've said, cat can.
I think that's yeah, it's good to hear for them.
Thank you for coming through with that. I think that's timely.
You did a ninety one for five in the cricket
big dragonfly there wow on camera? Oh that or it's
a drone? Do you want to talk some of the
weekend sport? Also too? Hello? I whod you mention the

(01:36:35):
comic disappointing Marcus. I send Birthday cards and Christmas cards.
My cat friends call me a dinosaur liberyal have to
get to the letterbox before thieves do. So it's only
three times a week. It'll save me the run. Yeah,
I quite like cards and nothing. Getting virtual cards is crazy,

(01:36:58):
it's pointless marks. I think the road workers could help
the visiblity a bit by wearing high vers, not hot,
not orange because they've into the cones. Marc, is any
information on Andy Irvine, Fannel Mount Everest? Did they find
the camera? I'll look up that, Chris, Marcus. Welcome, good evening,
Hi Chris.

Speaker 12 (01:37:20):
Good day, Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:37:21):
Can I give a shout out to everyone back at
home driving well over the weekends and no losses of life.
And secondly to our families who have lost lives on
the road. It's great to see that there's no other
families sharing the pain.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
Well do you have you? I guess you've done that.
That is the shout out, A.

Speaker 16 (01:37:43):
Yeah, yeah, out personal but ye made me cry on
the air, But yeah, I just wanted to share that
with you in the in the crowd because that's a
great result. People must be.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
That's the personal thing for you. I don't want to pry,
but that's something that's affected you obviously.

Speaker 1 (01:38:01):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
Of course.

Speaker 10 (01:38:03):
Yeah my aunt he was sister in two separate ones.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
But okay, thank you.

Speaker 16 (01:38:07):
When it comes to there must be something going on
back home that are making people drive calmer. So whatever's happening,
it's going well.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
Unfortunately, I think it was just terrible weather.

Speaker 16 (01:38:19):
Okay, bring it on.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Fair enough, but I say, yep, yep, yep, yep. Anything
else from.

Speaker 16 (01:38:24):
You so apart from wanting to celebrate the successes of
New Zealand's sport over the last thirty days, I mean,
where could we start and then no one else could
get a phone call through?

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
Nice to hear from you, Chris. Someone might want to
explain to me the formula. When I watched a bit
of that on Sunday or Monday, I didn't really understand it.
It seems like it was going to rain and the
guy got clipped this is Liam Lawson. It's not a
sport I follow at all, but there's been a lot
of hype over Liam Lawson. I just was wondering if
that performance meant that there's no longer that hype. I

(01:39:01):
think I already fully understand and post twice a week.
I don't even know how often those they never tell us.
I wouldn't imagine those post boxes get emptied very often,
do they. The other thing is posting a letter. I
think you go to the post office to it, wouldn't

(01:39:22):
You wouldn't want to wait for someone to actually come
and empty one of those boxes. I doubt they even
do it. Oh'll suspect the post boxes don't get empty.
Now you might know something more about that. And the
thing about couriers, we really had much expect because couriers

(01:39:42):
don't if you're at a private residence, right, there's something
might be someone to answer for me. They might even
be a career yourself. If you're at a private residence.
Can you get a parcel picked up by the courier?
Something I've never done, Marcus. The reason why the road
told is zero's because the government has ensured no one

(01:40:03):
can afford to go away. Very good, interesting point, very
interesting point. It's probably frightening a few days until Christmas too,
by the way, So I've got one more We've got
two more days in October. It's one of those long

(01:40:26):
months and it's downhill all the way to Christmas. I
can't wait. Year's gone extremely quickly. They do seem to
speed up when you get older. That does seem to
be the truth. Well, what will happen now is the
next nine weeks will drag. That's always been my experience,
and I'm happy with that. Come on, whatever you got

(01:40:54):
for the final go Oh. By the way, it seems
as though that fire and the faring Marino, wetland is
out of is now under control. It's going to take
decades for that swamp to recover and post it's on
its way out. In two thousand and two there are

(01:41:17):
a billion letters. In twenty twenty eight it's going to
drop to one hundred and seven million, so it's a
tenth yep. So I don't know what's happening with the
post boxes. Also don't know what happened. Is it straightforward

(01:41:41):
to get the courier a parcel picked up by the courier.
I know you can do it at offices and stuff,
but just at your home, Marcus. I drove one thousand
and fifty k's down and back from the MPC final,
left two thirty am, got home midnight and the roads
were quiet. Was awesome wet weather driving. Thank you for

(01:42:03):
that text. By the way, rugby's in trouble. Do you
see how many people that final? Boy oh boy, it's
amazing when they look back and just totally killed the
game for the sake of international fixtures. So you look
at AFL in League when they've done the opposite. I

(01:42:24):
know which the fans prefer the local derby, Marcus. The
pyramids like the chips. They constructed the blocks from a
limestone concrete and were poured and set you hence no
gaps between the blocks, using box shutters to form the blocks.
In the eighties they took calls from the blocks and
realized it was a type of limestone concrete. To tell

(01:42:47):
the public would be too shocking. They did lug in
granite slabs of various chambers. I think it's fair to
say that there is no consensus on how the pyramids
were built. It's still up for debate. And yes, Timu
do have road cones for sale nine dollars ninety seven,

(01:43:10):
almost sold out. They're the collapsible ones. I can't see
the others. I can't scroll down that far. Yes, Steve Marcus,
welcome and thanks for calling. And good evening to you, Hi, Steve.

Speaker 18 (01:43:25):
Yeah, just to give you a bit of a heads
up on Formulae one.

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:43:29):
So it's owned.

Speaker 18 (01:43:30):
It was brought out Bylibya Media twenty seventeen for eight
billion dollars, but now that's a more than lightly doubled
in price. But previously it was owned by Bernie Oil
run by Bernie Ecleston and Liam Lawson. For him to

(01:43:51):
be where he is with only twenty people are able
to do this in the whole world. It's just absolutely incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:43:58):
But he didn't do very well on Sunday? Did he
On Monday?

Speaker 18 (01:44:03):
He managed to flip the bird to to what's the
guy's name, Sir Peiros, Peri Peiros at his home. This
is a kicker at his home, Grand Prix in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
But that's not going to look down. That's not going
to be looked down encouragingly, is it?

Speaker 7 (01:44:25):
No?

Speaker 17 (01:44:26):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:44:26):
Hell no, I'm still I've run out of time. I'm
probably going to spen the I'm still gott to look
it up on social media to see how that went down.
But that would have gone down like a cup of
cold sick.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
Okay, that's not good, is it?

Speaker 11 (01:44:41):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
Hell no?

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
Okay?

Speaker 18 (01:44:43):
And I thought, you know, I thought Liam would have
been a little bit more mature than that. But no,
it's not good.

Speaker 10 (01:44:51):
But he's done.

Speaker 2 (01:44:51):
But did he did he drive well on Monday?

Speaker 18 (01:44:57):
No, it wasn't Monday. It would have been Sunday their time.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
Yeah, Monday out time. But I mean he finished at
the back of the pack.

Speaker 3 (01:45:05):
Well not really.

Speaker 18 (01:45:06):
He he's on he's in a he's in the red ball.
They caught the r V I think or something like
they're sponsored by.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
I think it came last or second to last, didn't
he No, no.

Speaker 18 (01:45:23):
No, no, no, no, no, no, hell no, no he
got he got. I think he managed to get to
like twelve, but he got hit. He got hit by
he got hit by another newcomer, and he had to
come in to get a new front wing.

Speaker 11 (01:45:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:45:40):
So that that that ruins well, that that happens to
you when you're racing because these cars are open wheeled,
They're always beinging into each other.

Speaker 2 (01:45:49):
Couldn't believe. I couldn't believe how light they.

Speaker 18 (01:45:51):
Are, Yeah, I know, and the power and then they've
got you know, the hybrids.

Speaker 2 (01:45:56):
A I don't think. I didn't know that.

Speaker 18 (01:46:01):
Yeah, they are the hybrids. A lot of people don't
realize it. I'm in my own account by trade, so
I follow it more for the mechanical side of things.
I don't really follow it for the racing.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
And then he was lost.

Speaker 18 (01:46:14):
It was sixteenth, Yeah, only because he had to come
and to get a new wing front wing. Because I'm
I'm interested, I'm quite fascinated with sort of the mechanics
of it, like downforce and that stuff. Oh, it's just crazy.

(01:46:35):
And the amount of money they spend. They spend hundreds
of millions of dollars like like like they spent, they spent,
they spend like a lot of the teams are getting
well win tunnels and stuff, and they cost like they
take six years literally around about six years to build.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Shortage of people paying big coin to go and watch
it though, was there, Ah, they must be taking a
fortune at the game. How much it cost to go
to the Formula one.

Speaker 18 (01:47:08):
Well, it all depends which one you go to, like
the one that's coming up shortly, Las Vegas, and you
can spend thirty five thousand American dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
It's your head red.

Speaker 18 (01:47:22):
That's one person, and they call it the paddock. They
call it the Paddock Club. But you get all the
food and drink you want for that price, and and
probably a couple of nights and accommodations taken care of
as well. But like you say, you'd have to have
your head red thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:47:46):
It seems to be thousands. It seems to be thousands everywhere.

Speaker 18 (01:47:51):
Oh, you can still go to certain places, like I
think I think Japan's quite cheap. There's a few places
you can go, yeah, you're not. Not everyone can. There
are some places you can.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
Go and follow people go to wall of them. The
people go to all of them.

Speaker 13 (01:48:09):
Not really.

Speaker 18 (01:48:11):
There might be a I think there was one guy
that did it and he he was following red Ball,
the main team, and they caught onto it and they
invited him. They invited him for his last top last.
They invite them into and they were taking photos and that,

(01:48:31):
and he just did it. He did it as a challenge.
And but that's quite rare. I think that's quite rare.
That one. The only person I know that I follow
on YouTube, the guy that he does all the he's
a photographer and he's based in Perth and he flies.
He flies to all the races, okay, and he's spending.

(01:48:56):
He must be spending. He actually does some stuff on you.
He does stuff on YouTube and he actually I think
to do he gave I think you look, he's spending
like hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:12):
Have you been to a Formula One match race yourself?

Speaker 18 (01:49:15):
Steve no I was involved in. I did motorcycle racing,
so I've been to race at the Isle of Man
and I raced it brands hatch I did. I did
a season and I'm a New Zealand a plast New
Zealand champion. Then I just got bot Then I raced.

(01:49:37):
When you were allowed to race motorbikes that oh it
was an Australia bad first.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
Yes you were able to.

Speaker 18 (01:49:50):
Race motorbikes there, but you can't now because it's just
a little bit too dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
So was it dangerous?

Speaker 1 (01:49:57):
Hell?

Speaker 18 (01:49:57):
Yeah, I crashed. I'm lucky to be alive.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
Yeah, I can quesh.

Speaker 18 (01:50:01):
Just before the question just for the dipper, well, yeah,
I smacked them to the concrete wall. But luckily the
concrete wall had this phone pair on it and I remember,
I remember it exploding as my body sort of went
into it, and the marshalls sort of pulled me over
over the wall and and I just wanted to get up,

(01:50:25):
and they said don't move because they thought I was
dead basically broken. No, no, it's fine, but yeah, but
you know that's.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
I what year? What year were the motorbikes at bethis Steve?
The year I went, yea, is it like in the eighties?

Speaker 18 (01:50:44):
It was nineteen eighty seven, because it's the year. That's
the year I won that's the year I won the
New Zealand one two five championship and I said to myself,
I went, if I win, I'll shout myself a trip
to Bethirs. Yeah, and they raced it. I remember they
raced it in easter.

Speaker 3 (01:51:02):
It was easter.

Speaker 18 (01:51:05):
And I remember it was bloody cold. I thought, oh,
I'm coming to a new warm country.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
But I wasn't it as cald On Bethist it's inland. Yeah,
I agree with that.

Speaker 18 (01:51:12):
No, I think it's the attitude as well. So yeah,
that was a little bit of a culture shock. So
first time you subadly knows twenty seven year old not
knowing what he was doing.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Were you racing on a one two five at Berethurst
as well?

Speaker 18 (01:51:30):
Yeah, I took I took my one two five over there,
but that's the only way I could afford it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
And you're one.

Speaker 18 (01:51:36):
Your crashed, No crashed unfortunately, but I'm glad I did it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:44):
Was it the end of your racing?

Speaker 18 (01:51:47):
The years I had been racing?

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
Was it the end of it once you creshed in Barethurst?

Speaker 11 (01:51:51):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:51:51):
No, hell, No, twenty seven. I raced till I was
thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Is your head red?

Speaker 11 (01:51:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:52:00):
Okay, sorry, need any hear read? Thanks Steve, nice to
talk to twenty eight past eleven. But if you've got
something you want to say or talk about, would be
nice to have oh tickets to Oh. There was someone
wanted to know about why Travis Scott had changed the
dates for Auckland. I don't know what the answer was there.

(01:52:23):
Eden Park said it was for logistics or something like that.
But I think what happens is a bit more that
goes on with promotion of concerts. Because they've also slashed
the ticket price, so I imagine probably they'll put another

(01:52:47):
concent on somewhere else where the tickets are selling better.
So yeah, it's all about the Dora me So tickets
were one eighty to two point fifty and now as
low as sixty bucks via ticket Master. That's what it
will be about. And they don't want to freak the

(01:53:08):
Guard Bay an empty stadium, but people coming up from
christ Church to walk and stuff like that, they're hot
and bothered because they're thousands of dollars out of cash,
can't find anywhere to stay. I'll tell you what we
should be doing with cold Play. We should be having
stay with the listener service. Because that would be something

(01:53:31):
we could work out. Because no one's getting accommodation. I
think we might pivot into like an Airbnb ZB thing.
Stay with a talkback call, stay with a talkback listener,
and if you get if you find I could even
send your conversational starters. How about these road cones? How
about those potholes? They are in November? November thirteenth is

(01:53:56):
Coldplay Music of the Spheres put you asleep? I wouldn't
say no if I was given a ticket, but I'm
not angry for ticket. By the way, It's not cold Plays,
not my jem. But it's a perfect bend because they
appeal to the people with the money to buy the

(01:54:18):
tickets at that stage in their life. I would think
those in their fifties, am I right sixties? Eric Marcus Evening,
that was very quick.

Speaker 19 (01:54:29):
Talk about the mail. I loven't christ at the moment
as you're saying, we didn't I get mail here, we
stay at no day, we stay in Friday. But we
still got the people on a motorbike called d X
mail and I get mail.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
For goodness, who are they.

Speaker 6 (01:54:51):
DX?

Speaker 5 (01:54:51):
Now?

Speaker 19 (01:54:51):
That'd been going for years?

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
Heard of that?

Speaker 19 (01:54:54):
I think I had in fifty cc or one through
five cc, other zookies or hundreds.

Speaker 2 (01:55:00):
How can they make any money?

Speaker 19 (01:55:03):
Well, because I've got risk peck. I was respect with
other banks and they I didn't get any any day
was RESPEC and our local council. They send the rate
set by now that dump news on post and regin
rates delivered by a d xnail.

Speaker 8 (01:55:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:55:23):
They come on out of a motorbike and they can
ride on the foot path and they write up to
your litter box and put the moony box it. But
sometimes if you go to something something centers, I don't know.
They have the the new zerand post boxes and they
have a DX noll box decided, but I don't know
how you buy stemps to use.

Speaker 9 (01:55:48):
Work.

Speaker 2 (01:55:48):
We'll find out. This is right now, sweet spot. How
much does a letter cost? You don't know, do you?

Speaker 6 (01:55:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:55:54):
This is a two bucks over two bucks for over
two bucks?

Speaker 2 (01:55:58):
Now for how much how much is post?

Speaker 19 (01:56:01):
There are two bucks are over two dollars now? I
think it is how much on d X. I don't
write many letters, but i'd see by by the South City,
I've got the the international slots, the local flop. But
then they've got a a duke like a blue box

(01:56:23):
and it's got so I don't know how you hey, hey,
you get hold of it, that.

Speaker 5 (01:56:27):
Sort of system.

Speaker 19 (01:56:28):
But but but I think d X mail will low
have to increase the modified riders because I think they
will get more more rooms delivered mail.

Speaker 8 (01:56:40):
You know, I want.

Speaker 2 (01:56:41):
I wonder where. I wonder if I've I've got a
DIX I don't think I know where the DIX leader
would I.

Speaker 19 (01:56:47):
Well, that's what I'm trying to say. I never I never,
I never inquired. Hey you it must be any commercial.
It must be an if we commercial people can run,
can get the letters delivered by by I get number one.
My number one board comes with I've got the dialect.
Come my dick smell passed my TV guy. The next

(01:57:11):

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Okay, we got a good letter box.

Speaker 19 (01:57:16):
Oh I never left Nail nows what we've been in there?

Speaker 2 (01:57:21):
Great answer? Great answer is a good letter box. I
like a waky leader box, but one that works it
till you need I spy. It's nice to hear from you, Eric.
So mu's to talk about the baseball quite quickly. It's
been a red disappointing World Series. First match was good.
Second match was okay, and that it was tany injured,
and then from then on it's been downhill. What today

(01:57:42):
was downhill very disappointing. They reckon the government's gonna get
tough on boy races. Good luck with that. I mean
they tried to crush cars with Colins. It didn't really work.
The only car they confiscated, the guard flipped the plates on,
so a lot of hot air and nothing happened. I

(01:58:06):
just think that boy racing is something that comes and goes,
and they sort it out in one area, it goes
to another area. I don't think I'll ever get rid
of it. I don't think electric cars will be the
end of it either, So yes, there's that. Also tonight, Marcus,

(01:58:28):
the first car to be crushed was under and Tolly's watch,
not Judith Collins, but Crusher Dolly. Crusher Tolly didn't take off.
What's hard to say. It's like a dunk twistuff. Why
you can't crush one of those electric cars will probably
explode if you thought of that, that'll be the next thing.

Speaker 1 (01:58:49):
For more from Marcus Slash Nights, listen live to news talks.
There'd be from eight pm weekdays or follow the podcast
