Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Wednesday greetings. Welcome strange old day because track and field
rears its head again track and Field at Mount Smart.
How good's that? So what's going to happen in about
ten minutes eight minutes is the this youngo Sam Ruth
is going to attempt to be the youngest person ever
to go under four minute mile. Well, that's exciting because
the formanut mile is something that looms large in New
Zealand and New Zealand track and Field. So that will

(00:34):
happen about fifteen past eight. That's on YouTube. If you
want to go and watch that, I will tell you
the results. Well wait around for that. I won't commentate
it because I don't know all the athletes, and there
is some commentary online, but I don't I've just listened
to the company of the women's race, and I don't
think probably it's a sort of commentary that we should broadcast.

(00:54):
It just souns a little bit. But look, I will
give you the updates on that. So this is at
Mount Smart. Well, when I say it it's Mount Smart,
it's obviously not at the place where the Warriors play.
There's the side field with the track is. I haven't
seen this. It's been a I think the weather has
not been great in Auckland, say it has been winning
and wet, but the weather conditions look really really good

(01:16):
and they're expecting if well, they're not saying there's anything
about the weather conditions that will affect the time for
this record attempt. I don't know what the field's like.
I think we heard there in the news at Sam Tana,
who's a particularly quick sort of a unit. He will
be running also to pace them to try and get
this fifteen year old around in less than four minutes.
So that will happen sometime today in about six or

(01:38):
seven minutes. So I will kind of do talk back
and for those four minutes or whatever, I will try
and commentate that for you and let you know what's
going on. Should we break four minutes, we have a
reporter out there. We will talk to Wilso because I
mean that's historical, because it's such a huge event, the

(02:04):
four minute mile, So we will talk to you will
I will talk to you about that in the next
couple of minutes. It's going to happen about fifteen past eight.
So yeah, this is the he's fifteen from Todonger and

(02:24):
he's going to attempt to be the youngest person ever
to go sub for.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't know how many key Wes have gone sub for.
I think it's about one hundred. Of course, John Walker
went the first person to go sub three fifteen seventy five.
But anyway, yeah, it's a big deal. I think John
Walker was the first to go sub for. Actually, by
the way too, so someone else will know about that.
But yeah, so we will get to what not ninety

(02:53):
fifty four Roger Banister first went there, although he wasn't fifteen,
But yeah, so I'm going to give you the details
and the coverage for that when that happens, and then
we'll cut into the show at hand. So if you
want a text of it's something to say in the meantime,
I will just pad until then. If you've got anything
interesting on any breaking news in US, know what is happening.
I've got some topics for tonight, so you're not going

(03:15):
to I wondering what we are going to talk about.
I've spent a little bit of time online today talking
looking about JFK in the files released. It's very hard
at this stage to get any clear sense about what
the gotcha is. If you've got a social media like Twitter,

(03:38):
a lot of people are a lot of confirmation bias there,
people just posting things that they think are true. Yeah,
so I think it's going to be a while before
the real JFK assassination obsessives have their say on what

(04:04):
to expect and what the new information means. So I
spent summer today reading about Jack Ruby, Jack Rubinstone, the
guy that Shorty hav goes. Well, that's kind of an
interesting story also. But anyway, I will bring you the
details and the breaking news for this guy running sub
for that'll happen about three minutes. If you want to
talk just quickly before that, or you've got a quick text,

(04:25):
get that through now, be good to hear from you. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine text, and
then we'll cut into the show. I actually thought the
race was going to start at eight o'clock. They had
the women's race. I think they're going for a record.
I think at time was aout four four four. There
was one of the women had an nasty fall. She
got tripped and she seemed windu herself. But we will
bring you the full details of this race when this happens.

(04:47):
But they say the conditions it mounts but are very good.
The rain stopped, the wind stopped at perfect conditions for
a record, So a lot of pressure on the guy,
the fifteen year old. I think both his parents are athletes,
and they have said that he trains minimally, and by
that they're not saying he trains not much because he's
not into it, but they've realized that probably to do

(05:09):
huge miles at a young age could be detrimental. So
it seems to be very sensible sort of a unit.
But this is the fifteen year old. He's going to
run and try and break the record, to be the
youngest of a person to run under foremanut. I think
they're coming up to the track now. It seemed to
be a very young field. Where they're going to start here,
I'm not quite sure, but I will bring those details

(05:29):
for you as that happens, and if you do want
to talk in the meantime, feel free to come through.
Eight hundred and eighty today eighty slightly tricky for me
to try and juggle two or three things so maybe
some exciting texts I can read between the bulletins could
be a good thing. Dan, could you to me one thing,
you just bring the text up on the screen next
to this so I can actually have the text. Says, well,
it looks to me like they might be starting this

(05:49):
race early for those who just joined. This as the
attempt for the New Zealand of the fifteen year old
to go sub four minutes. I think the last time
he raced, No, the last time he raced it was
a dead heat with Sam Tet. I think the time
before he raised his father was in the race, which
was kind of remarkable. Yep, I can do that now. There,
it's all there. I can see that now. So I
will bring you the details of this race that it happens.

(06:10):
I'll bring you the lap times as well, because why
not start with hopefully a record being broken, and of
course it wouldn't be the would it be a world record?
The youngest person ever year? I guess it is a
world record, isn't it if you got texts seeing those
through nine to nine two to text. So I don't know. Oh,
by the way, I haven't decided today it's going to
be JFK talk. So yeah, because what they have done

(06:38):
is they've put some eighty thousand pages of documents released today.
They have put some of those into like AI and
chet GPT to find out the findings, and that's kind
of come up with quite mixed results, I think in
the next day, although I mean what most people are
saying that Trump has released all of this to be

(07:00):
a diversion for what's going on in the country, which
probably there is some relevance to that. Anyway, if you've
just joined in, welcoming, good evening, my name's Marcushador twelve o'clock.
I will cut into the talk back before too long.
I just thought beforehand it's important to bring you the
details for this race fairly big Field one, two, three, four, four, six, seven, eight,
nineteen eleven, twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

(07:23):
twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen sixteen. I think people lining up
for this race. This is the fifteen year old from
Todonger attempted to be the younger person, youngest person ever
to go under. How old is he? Dan? Has he
got much time left?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I know, but when'sday six? But how many more goes.
Has he got Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. Sam Tana,
Sam Ruth, James McLay, Benjamin Wall, George Wiley, Joe Martin,
Daniel Hayes, Hamish Murray, James Reedal. He's an older guy,
he's thirty. There's a few how far away, so it's
less than a month from turning sixteen. So this is

(07:57):
the fifteen year old attempting to be the youngest person
to go sub for now, they're just about to go.
Sam Tanner's got the inside lane. I think he's going
to be the guy trying and set the pace they're
off to. So I will bring you the lap times.
I'm not quite sure what a good lap time will
be for the first lap. You might have some information

(08:17):
about that, so wet track. It's on the rubber track
obviously at Mount Smart. But you're bringing these details because
it's to be exciting if a world record is on
broken on this show. We have got a reporter there.
So what we will do is we'll have the race
and then we'll take the commercial break and if there
is a record there, will go in to reporter to

(08:38):
get some information about that. Sue Murray Helberg ran sub formats.
Thank you for that. Keep those texts coming. This is
not about the race at Mount Smart, but someone said
they saw Eloh at Mount Smart Stadium in the seventies. Goodness.
Of course. This is not at the field where they
do have the worries. It's out the back the side field.

(08:59):
I think this is the training field. Just coming down
the straight for the first lap. Sam Tana is in
second position. He's the pacemaker to speak. I think just
at the ball now fifty five seconds I think for
the first lap, which seems pretty quick. That's a hell
of a pace and field spread out over about it's
quite a tight field considering how big it is. It

(09:21):
spread out of about thirty meters. Yes, so for those
who have just joined, it just seems as though there's
going to be the two races that Mount Samartine. I'm
not quite sure why the event was put together as
far as track and field goes. For those who remember
the heyday, very few people there. Mind you, it is
a wet Wednesday, so I'm not surprised. But yeah, I
only found out about this afternoon that it was a

(09:42):
happening thing. I got myself very excited about that. So
they're coming round down to head down the back straight
for the second lap. All the runners look fairly comfortable.
The field still split into two, well has split into
two now. The first groups about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine coming down for the ball. Still a good time.

(10:06):
They're not putting the lap times up. It's one fifty five.
The pacemaker's jumped out now, so Sam Tanner is leading.
I think I'm pretty sure this guy Ruth, he's the
guy in the orange Sewart T shirt. Dan is that road.
I'm pretty sure he's in six position. Now I'll conft
number two. I'll confirm that. I don't think they've got
numbers on them Dan, But oh, I see, so he's

(10:27):
number two. Okay, so Tanna has one. Sam Ruth's number two,
looking fantastic. They're coming around for the third lap at
two minutes twenty. So yeah, Sam Tanner's the fastest miler.
He's the guy that went to the last Olympics. And
Ruth is behind him pace for pace, and we've got
about a lap and a half left, I think. So yeah,

(10:50):
this is at Mount Smart for those who just joined us,
as is Sam Ruth from Tolong is attempting to be
the youngest person ever to go under four minutes. He's
got a month left until he turned sixteen, and he's
fifteen at the moment. So here they are coming down
sort of almost neck and Sam Tana leading with Sam
Ruth just on his shoulder to fifty six. So it

(11:12):
looks to me well that this could all be on.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Sam Tanor is about a meter ahead. But Sam Ruth
is certainly looking very fresh and very not tiring at all.
There's a sort of a spring in the step, and
you can looks like he's certainly got a lot more
speed to go. It looks like he's holding some in reserve.
So they're now coming around the bend for the home

(11:47):
straight three point thirty six further about one hundred and
fifty meters left, crowded, all on their phones filming it.
They're not making much noise, but coming down now he's
in the lead. I think Sam Tanner might be ahead
of him, but I think they might well do this.
This is an extraordinary event. So down they come, three
fifty one, three fifty three. He's done it as he'd be.

(12:08):
Sports report of Elijah far Few is that mount smart Elijah.
Greetings and welcome he made it look easy.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Eh, oh he did. He didn't even break a sweat
out there, Marcus. I mean to give you an idea,
like he broke the line and pretty much the guy
by that just finished behind his I was on his
back pretty much in pain or he's pretty much tired.
So I mean it was an effortless feat thereby Sam Ruth,

(12:34):
and he made it look easy.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Did you see what the official time was?

Speaker 4 (12:40):
We're just confirming now. I was standing around pretty much
eyone had their stop clocks out. It seemed to stop
it around three fifty eight, So he really kicked it on.
And I'd say that final two hundred meters or so,
because throughout the first each lap he went around, he
was pretty much clock in a minute and we were
pretty it was pretty nerve wracking there at the end,

(13:00):
and I guess for the last two hundred meters or so,
he kicked it in and at the moments about three
fifty eight, we're we're looking at but I'll just make
sure I'll confive that time just before you.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Do, Golsha, I hadn't heard about this event. Did they
put this event together? Especially for the sittee? Is this
how this has come about or is this something else?
Can you tell me what the event actually was?

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, so I guess it was a run by the
Auckland City Athletics team and they put this together, this
evening of mile races and the women's and the men's division.
Sam Ruths is a part of that. He's had an
amazing summer where he's pretty much broken records for his
age group. At fifteen years of age, he broke times
that was set by Yakub Ingerbriton, who was a former

(13:43):
or is the current Olympic champion. So that's sort of
the expectations that we have for a guy like Sam
ruth and he's exceeded. He's exceeded pretty much all summer
and he's done so again here tonight at Mount Smart
to show him.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
They didn't publicize it more because there weren't many there
to see, but history. How many do you reckon we're there?

Speaker 4 (13:59):
I'd say probably about a couple hundred or maybe a
bit more. I know in the live stream there are
a couple of thousand that waiting just for the life
streams of the gain and I imagine war would have
hopped on when Sam got to the start line. So yeah,
it would have been great if we had a bigger
crowd by Nonetheless, those who were there to see you
very lucky to witness the speed in person.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah. Thanks, so look, I'll let you go and see
if you get interviewed him Elijah, But thank you so
much for talking to us. I really appreciate that New
Stork CBS Sports reporter at Elijah for a few there
at Mount Smart Stadium for those who just joined us.
Just at quarter past eight, Sam Ruth became the youngest
New Zealander ever to run a mile, or the young
side the youngest person in the world to go sub

(14:41):
four minutes. I guess I could phrase that the other
way and say the only fifteen year old in the
world ever to go under four minutes. So probably after
John Walker going sub for it's probably New Zealand's most
significant sub four mile race it's ever been run. I
can see the time now, three fifty eight twenty nine. Sorry,

(15:01):
that was that was the word of that was Sam
Tanner came through that. It wasn't on the page for long,
but I'll bring the time up when I've got that.
But that was, yeah, three fifty eight point three five
for Sam Ruth so three fifty eight point three five,
so did it with over a minute and a half
spare I think Sam, did Sam Tanner actually win the
races that the way happened? Tana Yeah, Tana one. So

(15:25):
Tana one has obviously already gone some for he was
the guy that sort of was the pacer throughout the
third and fourth lap. So there we go. That said,
if you want to talk about that, feel free to
come through eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two
nine two to text. Oh that's an exciting way to
start the evening. Actually, just wish they publicized it a
bit more. They could have got thousands out there, Thane

(15:45):
and if they knew history was going to be made
like it was, I can see Sam now Sam Ruth
being interviewed by a number of people out there. So yeah,
doing remarkably well for fifteen year old. And of course
to the last guy that Elijah talked about that's had
this record, I mean he's gone on and got several
Olympic gold so it all looks remarkably positive for this

(16:09):
fifteen year old. Anyway, get in touch if you want
to mention that. If you might have watched on the stream.
You might be a track and field person. I know
a lot of you out there are track and field obsessives.
You might have watched that on YouTube and let me
know what you thought of that race. But yeah, it
was remarkable looking at the clock, I didn't realize that
it was that close. But over a second and a half,

(16:31):
under four minutes for the mile for that fifteen year old.
Get in touch if you want to talk. My name
as marcushadl Midnight. The number is oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine two nine two text. What a
remarkable kind of a runner. And as they say that,
the folks say they haven't trained them much because I
don't want you know, a young body, you can't do it,
but unbelievable. Anyway, get in touch you want to talk.

(16:53):
My name is Marcus Hidi twelve. I wouldn't mind some
talk about that. The other thing too. Before I chop
into the topics of the day, I do want to
mention here's something for you. So you go to charge
your phone and it says unable to charge because you've
got a wet portal. I think that's the wording. I

(17:16):
should have taken a screenshot of it if you've got
a wet portal on your cell phone because you've been
using it to Oh, there we go. Three fifty eight
point twenty nine for Sam Tanner, three fifty eight point
three five for Sam Ruth. Benjamin Wall also went sub
for three point fifty nine. Question for you, if you've
got a wet portal on your phone, what's the easiest

(17:37):
and quickest and safest way to dry it. I have
found myself in the situation about twelve times, and I've
never managed to get a result free quickly. I've tried
to swing it round and round method. I've tried the
soft tissue method. I've tried all sorts of things, although
today in the car driving to work, I tried the
jam it into the car air conditioner, which seems to

(18:01):
be the pick of the Have you given that to go?
Let me know what worked best for you. I'll wait
one hundred and eighty ten. Don't quite know how it happens.
I think it's when you're in the kitchen you're splashing
water around. Water gets in there. But tell it for frustrating.
I always Christmas phone stuffed. I'm always on about ten
percent charge anyway, perpetually so when suddenly it says, not

(18:21):
take any more charge for me, it's kind of life changing.
But get in touch if you do want to talk,
oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
too detect Also the track and field that's happened day,
if you want to mention that. With Sam Ruth going
three point fifty eight point three five pb obviously for him,
and Benjamin Wall's also gone three fifty nine, that's a peb.

(18:42):
I don't know that's his first time under four minutes.
A lot of questions raised there. I don't have the
answers for. But if you want to talk, oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine two detects, get
in touch. You want to be a part of the show.
Someone says that was a great advertisement for school lunches.
I'm not quite sure what they're referring to. I don't
think he was on the school lunches. Well, I don't

(19:05):
know that. I imagine it's going to be a head
boy at the school. You'd think they were the performance
like that. But anyway, the easiest way is to charge
it with the wireless charger. Thank you, don't blow us
a vacuum cleaner to suck the water out. I didn't
think I thought the vacuum cleaner Nolzle would be too wide.
You're right, Marcus, athletics hasn't promoted enough in this country.

(19:27):
I never knew this was happening tonight. I had no idea.
Util I saw it on the website about two hours ago.
No idea, and look, I think they could have got
thousands there for that. It's a great event. People want
to see history made because you know you say, well,
I was there when that happened. Of course, though the
miles not run fory often these days, Marcus, try paper towel,

(19:51):
tissues or toilet paper. Thank you, Marcus, a quick dry out.
Put a vacuum clean til it works on condensation on
my video cameras, Peter Fielding Marcus, I watched a video
a few years ago on YouTube that has been removed now,
but the best JFK explanation ever. Basically, the first shot

(20:11):
was from the window and the book depository. This alerted
the Secret Service of the caw Folong JFK. One of
the secret servismen picked up a rifle from the floor
of the car and accidental he went off delivering the
kill shot. Most believable explanation every present explains why the
Secret Service covered so much up Afterwards. A road update

(20:35):
high all due to a fire, State Highway one has
closed between Mohunoah West Road and Victoria Terrace. Detour for
northbound roses turn left onto Muhunua West Road, turn right
into Jervis, right in to Victoria, then back on the
State Highway one. I actually don't know where that is.

(20:56):
I think that must be the North Island around Oho.
But if someone's got some more information about that, I'll
check on the nz TA website. So bid us knows
Marc is welcome in good evening.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I think, Marcus, I was going to talk to you
about track and film, but before I do your cell
phone issue. It is just going to be a matter
of it drying out. So I'm suggesting putting it in
the hot water, covered with some damp for it or
something like that.

Speaker 8 (21:20):
Yeah, okay, you know, like what you put.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
The stuff that draws moisture. Actually, I'm telling the other
thing you could use is, you know the little silica
sachets that often come in pill packets and things like that,
and make sure that moisture doesn't get into the pill
something like that would be enough. But definitely put it
in the hot water, cover it and just give it.

Speaker 9 (21:36):
Time, I think.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
But I want to just talk about athletics. I was
told because I've noticed all the a lot of the
local clubs. My daughter does athletics. She's a power athlete.
And one of the things I've noticed is a lot
of the clubs are getting big numbers from last year.
And we were told it's because it always happens in
an Olympic year.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Ah, great point.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Okay, so last season starts October. The Olympics were what
July August around that time, and the Paralympics as well,
and they say that that's because so like my daughter,
I drive her two hours every Saturday to the it's
finished now to the Canterbury Children's Athletics, which is a
bigger meat. But she's in a small club in South Canterbury,
so it's and I noticed huge numbers and people are

(22:19):
saying it is because of the fact that it was
an olympically year last year. But having said that, I
think our success, like the Sam's the two SAMs, Tanner
as well and Hamish Kirk had a big part to play.
In this what it's high jumping out to pole vaulters
and also the Paralympic and Grimaldi. I mean, you look
at the nominations for the best moment in the Hallberg.

(22:41):
Most of them are well not most of them, but
a lot of them which rack and field moment.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
It's interesting at that moment it seems as though it's
Australasia's time to shine, because of course the Aussies had
got gout, gout and he did the fastest ever. He's extraordinary,
he's a rocket.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
I saw it just actually yesterday, I think, well today,
I've seen it very recently. I thought, wow, you know,
and little Charlotte, she's only thirteen and she's aiming for
the New Zealand woman's Paralympic record.

Speaker 10 (23:06):
A power recording.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
She had a few seconds off, but she started off
at forty two seconds for two hundred meters and she's
now at about thirty seven.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
What's her record. She's got to break.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
The one hundred she has break just under sixteen seconds
and she's at seventeen point seven. But that's the open
woman's record and the under sixteen and she's only thirteen,
so she's got plenty of time.

Speaker 9 (23:27):
But she can.

Speaker 11 (23:28):
She says, I'm.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Going to do it. She said it's coming up, and
the two hundred. I think it's about thirty four. But
when think about how quickly she's improved from forty two
seconds to thirty seven, it's all in the head. You've
got the building that you've got to have the motivation.
You've got to have the motivation. And I'm seeing such
a big searge, and particularly at the children's level because

(23:49):
that's where I go. And last or last month we
did it at one of the children's meats and it
was throwed straight by the International meet in christ Church
and we couldn't stay unfortunately for the whole thing, but
I got to watch the woman kai jump.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
There was a few.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
Oddies, there was Japanese. It was just amazing to watch.
And I think it really is getting a lot more popular.
And like you said, I mean, I knew about this run,
but I was too busy tonight to be able to
watch it. And I feel that it is something that
is just on the rise, and I think we need
to watch because we're going to get a lot of
metals at the next Olympics.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Nice hear from you, CHRISTI thanks so much. Shifting away
from nine. I thought she goes so. I can't wait
till you get to license on to drive it for
two hours, Marcus. I just blow it in a couple
of times. It always comes right. I've tried. It's right now,
by the way my phone. I just put it in
the aircot in the car, or a can of the
air they use for cleaning dust off cameras, Marcus. Other

(24:42):
than a hair dryer blowing into the port, put the
phone in cilical crystal crystal silica cat litter. Much better
than rice, Marcus. Jcarn shops like that do sell small
aerosol can to the just air. They're a small tube
that connects to the nozzle swimmer to CRC. That can
just blow it too close to the socket. Tell you
something about CRC. Every time I buy a can of CRC,

(25:03):
I'm always surprised how reasonably priced it is. Seems to
be the same price forever. There are many things that
you think of the same price forever see us see
in matches. Yeah, I'll go read and listen to that.

Speaker 12 (25:20):
Nick.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Hi, Marcus, I've had a wet moment with a phone.
Sam is another special Kiwi he featured on the back
sports page and a fung to be chronicle on Tuesday,
great commentary, I was terrible. Well, the trouble with my
The trouble with the commentary was that I forgot how
long fifteen. I forgot how long the mile was. I
knew it must have been about sixteen hundred, but I

(25:49):
couldn't work out where they did the other nine meters
but they must start nine meters back, but you must
be four laps and nine extra meters. But anyway, who
just joined us? Fifteen year old Sam Ruth from Totto
have become the youngest person ever to go sub formu
at mile, which is kind of amazing when there's only
been fifty key we's have done it. Fifteen year old
has done it. I mean cheapers of course the miles

(26:12):
not runners off in these days, but still is one
of the great. I mean, it's a great thing to
go sub I don't know if there's anything compears. There's
no other like milestone, well, sub ten and the hundred,
but there's nothing like going sub four with the mile. Unbelievable. Yeah,

(26:35):
get in touch, Marc are still twelve. We are talking
track and field and gout, gout the Africa. The Australian
that's just gone unbelievably. I think he's done the fast
He's only about seventeen or eighteen. He's gone the fastest
time ever hundred meters. So yeah, I'll mind you the
next Olympics at lare they they're going to be a cluster,

(26:58):
aren't they? Cheaper screepers have elon up in the booth anyway,
get in touch if you want to talk. Marcus still twelve,
mainly about that track and field thing that happened today
race that's just happened at Mount Smart. I love to
hear from you. I eight one hundred eighty eight nine text.

(27:19):
I'll find the list of these the sub formu at Milers.
But it looks like we've got two extra today, uh
ten away from nine. Yeah, John A's Marcus. Welcome Hi Marcus.

Speaker 12 (27:37):
Yeah, I'm just on my way home from the Sam
Ruth Race.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh wow, wow go you how did you? How did
you know about it?

Speaker 13 (27:49):
Well?

Speaker 12 (27:50):
Actually, my boss is he was a bit of a
runner in his day and is involved with the Auckland
City Athletics CUB who put on the event Mount Smart
and and he told me about it. I thought, gee,
this could be actually a bit of history if I

(28:10):
go and have a look. And it was an amazing,
really good crowd there and everybody cheering them on, and
it was very very exciting.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, John, did you know what was the experience like
as someone there? Did you know the whole time that
the record was on, were you taking time to yourself
or what were you doing?

Speaker 10 (28:32):
I was.

Speaker 12 (28:33):
I was sitting beside a young guy that was he's
a marathon and a half marathon runner himself and knows
about the times and what the times would be required.
And he said when they when they were just coming
past for the last lap, he said, oh, they've got it.

(28:54):
He's got it, and and it was oh, just so exciting. Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
You don't know why they had it on a wet Wednesday,
but you know that was all right. The weather kind
of cleared up for it.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
Did it?

Speaker 11 (29:09):
It?

Speaker 12 (29:09):
Actually did? It just all cleared up and became very
very clear, like no no rain at all. The guys
were very busy sort of sweeping the track first to
get it the moisture of the track, but then it
seemed like it was perfect conditions and hardly any wind

(29:31):
and nice and Paul and away. They went here and.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
They had a women's race before that. Was any sort
of record of PB set on that one, did you
mate tell you?

Speaker 12 (29:42):
I'm not sure if it was any records or anything.
It was a group of young young women. I think
it was Bo Richie it and then yeah and the
the the sisters identical twin girls that's got third and fourth.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, did you get a selfie with Sam after the race?

Speaker 12 (30:16):
I definitely actually know. I just sort of I went
and had a chat with the bus and marveled at
what had just happened.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Because I've never I've never seen a live event. I
don't think when anyone's gone sub for I mean, it
doesn't happen that often in New Zealand.

Speaker 12 (30:34):
No, No, and they were because they had the pacemaker
for the first couple of laps and then Sam Tanner
keeping things going to make sure they were on the
right time. And yeah, I mean just amazing, so much
respect for that Sam Tanner guy got he's a great guy,

(30:55):
so supportive of the young young guy Sam Routh. You know,
he's he's helped him heaps there.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Do you think Sam Tanner should have dropped back at
the end to let him win?

Speaker 12 (31:05):
Now if he if he, if he had it in
him to get it while being the pacemaker, can then
we'll get it.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
You know.

Speaker 12 (31:17):
The boy could take it. The boy could take it,
then he takes it, but he's got.

Speaker 11 (31:21):
To earn it.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, and the and the whole John, the whole of
it was just the two races, is that right, that's right?

Speaker 12 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, And apparently was was only organized really recently,
and so they it was sort of a bit of
an impromptuy thing. And uh, I know that sam Tana
giving a few instructions to the other boys at the start.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
And yeah I saw that. I saw that too, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But for a light thing, it did the job. I
guess it was free to get and they wouldn't be
charging for two races, would they.

Speaker 12 (32:01):
No, No, you just just walk in and sit in
the sand.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Or Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I really appreciate your calling, John, Thanks so much for that.
There we Go is a text I heard on Zedby
this morning that the event was happening, so they've got
along to see history made. It was a special event
that only had a few days to get it together
and get the right officiators there to make it happen.
I think he's only got he's only fifteen for another month,
and I guess probably can't get the field because I mean,

(32:29):
you already need the big field, you need the strong
field also, well you need the strong field as strong
a field you can as you can get locally, I suppose,
I mean internationally, probably that would have been an easier
thing to have done. But for those who have just
joined us. Sam Ruth, the fifteen year old from Todonga,
has just become the youngest person ever to go sub

(32:52):
four minutes for the mile. Actually a little bit of a
good thing to find the list, which I still haven't found,
But the number of people around the world that have
got a subfour minute mile, it's not many. It's like
fifteen hundred or something I saw which surprised me. John

(33:15):
Walker broke the world wile record of nineteen seventy, the
first man to run under three point fifty. Nick Willis
has gone sub four for nineteen successive years, and Peters
still also held the record for a while in the sixties.
But yeah, there we go. Sam Ruth has gone sub four.

(33:36):
Get in touched you on talk. My name is Marcus
welcomped at midnight tonight. The number is eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. We're talking at the moment about track
and field and when your portal to your phone gets wet,
the quickest raided ryot. I haven't thought the response that
was very good. By the way, I'm sure people have
got some better ways to do that, because I think

(33:58):
it must happen to people quite often. You need some
sort of thin sponge thing to go in there the portal,
or a stick with on the end, that would be
my take. I've tried spinning it around trail sorts of things.
Tried the toaster, myndar toaster. Calvin cooked bread let alone
dry out a phone, so I'm not surprised that didn't work.

(34:19):
I've never eaten more raw bread than I've had that toaster. Anyway,
just out of interesting, one else out there actually witnessed
a sub forman a mile anyone there at Cox Garden.
I don't know where the famous four sub falls have been,
but you might want to talk about this. Now we've
got another news inder. It's gone sub four and he's
fifteen eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ninety nine to

(34:40):
the text, and I do it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus glad to hear you guys, and
I'm a sour pleased for here we make a history
you again once again?

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yeah history?

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Yes, yeah yeah yeah yeah. Hey, have you watched the
movie Unbroken?

Speaker 3 (34:57):
No?

Speaker 5 (34:58):
No, luigis Amburini. It's an athlete in Berlin Olympics nineteen
thirty six set the Olympic record for four minutes twenty
one seconds on miles. Yes, and this record stay for
ten years. All right, that's the history about this. Now,

(35:20):
a few years after him, someone run four minutes and
one second and apparently one of the doctors mentioned that
if the human tried to go the low four minutes,
they're hard, we'll explode. It's human impossible to run under
four minutes. And his record stands for ten years. And

(35:43):
after ten years, on sixth of May nineteen fifty four,
or Roger Banister break the record and he run it
on three minutes fifty seconds and put a new record.
And this it's quite interesting fact after he breaks the

(36:03):
four minutes record, in the next four year, sixth days
his records was broken. Guess what at twenty two times?

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Say that again?

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Are you?

Speaker 12 (36:17):
Then?

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Then in sixth of May nineteen fifty four, the guy's
Roger Banner. He breaks the four minutes time. Yeah, under
four minutes. He was run under three minutes fifty second
run a mile. Right, and after his new record, when

(36:39):
the people so actually possible to run under four minutes
a mile, in the next forty six days his record
was broken twenty two times.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
So what does that tell you that it was psychological.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Telling me, Marcus, it's about our mind. When you set
our mind to do something, we're limited for our mind. Yeah,
that was quite interesting. Fact when I read this and
like to do some motivational speech and talk with my
son to encouraging for what we're doing, for whatever we do,
this is quite fascinating. Think about fourteen years nobody wants

(37:17):
thinking it's possible for human being to run under four minutes,
and when this guy's proved it's possible. Yeah, And after
that in next forest forest days, at twenty two times
the record was broken, one after the other one. Then
people say, actually it's possible to do this is to
set your mind to do it.

Speaker 8 (37:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
What's the name of the movie again? Unbroken is a
documentary the proper movie.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
It's a proper movie based on his life and it's
quite quite, very very nice movie.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Not hear from your ten past nine. The numbers eighty ten, eighty,
Leonard's Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 14 (37:59):
Ahllo, And I'm just sringing that the race night.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
Oh yes, uh yeah.

Speaker 14 (38:07):
So I had a relative who ran in a woman's race,
and then we stayed and watched the watch them make
the record.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Oh wow, who was the relative?

Speaker 14 (38:20):
Oh no, I'm not going to say, because she'll get
all embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Okay, okay. The only reason I'll asked.

Speaker 14 (38:28):
Actually, actually she's in the car with that, and she said,
we can say so. She's like, it's okay, you can say.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Charlotte, she's your daughter.

Speaker 15 (38:40):
Yes she is.

Speaker 14 (38:41):
So she's actually a triathlete. But she raced tonight in
the mile race.

Speaker 13 (38:48):
Though.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Can you just tell me a little bit learn about
how they managed to put that together? Did they manage
to get all the best female milers from around the country?
Is it what they did?

Speaker 4 (38:58):
No?

Speaker 14 (38:58):
I think what happened. I'm not one hundred percent sure,
but I think what happened is they Auckland athlete who
hosted it, normally have a race night on every Wednesday,
I think it is, or every second Wednesday, and so
this has taken place instead of the normal race night.
That's my understanding. Normally they don't run a mile. A

(39:21):
mile race is pretty rare. They either run a fifteen
hundred or a three k. Yeah, so yeah, I'm not
sure exactly how the record came about, but we've known
about the woman's race for probably how many weeks Charlotte? Yeah,
probably maybe three weeks we've known about it.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Oh, it was fantastic, I mean fantastic. They achieved what
they needed to achieve to get him going sub for
did Charlotte was it her first ever a mile or
did she peb for the mile?

Speaker 15 (39:51):
No?

Speaker 14 (39:52):
I doubt any of the girls pe beat Actually no,
they all raced really well. But no, I hang on
a second. Sorry, Oh, Charlotte just said they were trying
to get done. I hang on the you could talk
to her, hang on here he is.

Speaker 15 (40:09):
The women's race. Some of the girls were trying to
get the under twenty New Zealand record, which was for
thirty seven, so the pacer went out at that pace. Unfortunately,
most of the girls couldn't hold on and the girl
that one ran four forty three ish four.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
And were you behind the woman that fell.

Speaker 15 (40:32):
Yes, unfortunately she just got her spike, got clipped and
tangled with another girl and she, yeah, unfortunately felt.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Down, but that's racing and she's okay.

Speaker 15 (40:43):
Yeah, she's okay, she's no injuries, just unfortunate.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
And tell me something when you watched the when you
watch Sam Ruth with them mile, were you quite confident
he would do that when you could see him and
see how well he was because he looked remarked remarkably
composed and poised, didn't he.

Speaker 15 (40:58):
Yeah, they were going through every two hundred perfectly and
under the four minute pace, and then when they went
through the last lap they picked it up. So it
was quite quite leo. So we're kind of get it
to us, but obviously to the naked eye maybe not
so much.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
But yeah, and for people involved in athletics, you probably
don't see. So have you ever seen a subforminate mile
run before?

Speaker 15 (41:20):
I haven't seen a sub form in a mile run
because it's not a very common event that we run
here in New Zealand only because again miles, we don't
usually use that kind of distance. But it's nice to
have a little bit of a change and something different
for us.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Love you to talk thank you so and thank you
so much very much for your mother for ringing and
persuading you to talk as well. Well, there we go.
Fourteen baths. Nine numbers are eight hundred and eighty to
thirty nineteen nine to two de text. We're talking subformanent miles.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Well, that's good.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
We've got people that have run, people that were there,
people talking about the mile in nineteen thirty six. I
tried to exploin this is parenting. I tried to explain
to my children today. The perils have been an older fan.
I tried to explain to my children today, Hey, guys,

(42:12):
just say you should know in case it just say,
just say you know, in case it comes up in
a quiz. They love a quiz. I always got them
quiz just in case it comes up in a quiz.
A lot of information about JFK has been released. Heck,
what have I got myselthing to do? I said what
I said, So JFK was an American president and he

(42:38):
was shot going through Dallas in a Cadillac. What's a Cadillac?
Always the question you don't want? Well anyway, so I
tried to explain, and I've got about that far. And
then once I answered the what's a Cadillac question? They
wanted off and had zero interested it, so I kind
of failed. I don't know whether I should have talked

(42:58):
about the Grassy Knoll and got them in on that one,
or the book depository. And then I said, oh, by
the way, someone today the afternoon this evening is attempted
to become the youngest person ever to run a mile
unt of four minutes, where they've got zero interest because
they don't know about a mile, and they don't know
about track and field, and they don't know about the

(43:20):
long history of it. So I thought both of those
things had failed to inspire them for But anyway, we
do our best, and once in a while you get
something that are genuinely interested in. But it wasn't JFK
and it wasn't the sub formut mile getting touched on
I Talk my name is Marcus Hitt on Midnight tonight.
And what I like most about that is it very
rarely does anything exciting happen in the eight to twelve show.

(43:43):
I think in the nine years I've done it, the
two most exciting things have been the result of the
flag referendum. When I had to talk to a grizzly
sounding John Key at the airport didn't go through.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
And this.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
On of course all the bad things like floods and stuff.
But yeh, not often history is made on the eight
to twelve show, Marcus. Even though Gout Gout's time for
the tournamentals was slightly wind assisted, it would have placed
him forth at the Paris Olympics for two hundred Thanks
for that. If bread's wark, if bread's raw, then what's dough?

(44:27):
Loll We are talking about things that have staged, things
that have stayed at the same price, Marcus, Addington matches
and CRC staying the same price. Jiff always the same price. Well,
I don't think Jiff was. I wouldn't know how much.
Jiff won't be about seven dollars. How much would Jiff be, Marcus.

(44:52):
The greatest rescue in the history of mankind happened today
to astronauts are back on Earth after nine months and
there was hardly any coverage. Is it because it's fake?
Like the moon landing. I saw a lot of coverage.
It was remarkable because there were dolphins. There was the
pod with the astronauts and then there was the pod
with the dolphins. I thought it was remarkable, mind ju

(45:15):
and I know I wasn't here on Friday, but I
did see the I did see the posts from that
American physicist had always popularized science that showed the eclipse
as seen by a flat earther. It's pretty good that one.
I thought a few too many people tried to bring
out the old Salami shot this eclipse. But the old

(45:37):
flat Earth eclipse is one of the classics because you've
got the red moon and then just a line across
it where the Earth is. Anyway, get in touched you
on talk On. Name is Marcus Welcome. We talked about
track and field, subformuate miles, and how to dry your
cell phone if the portal gets wet. Not the whole
phone gets wet, but just the portal and won't take
any charge. It's like it's a day ruiner. Because I'm

(46:00):
always on about five percent. I'll be on my phone broke.
I was getting power and I slipped, yeah, which is
frightening because I'm not really a slippy type person. A
lot cheap as that's age. But then Vanessa on some holiday,
and then Vanessa went to get the phone screen replaced.

(46:23):
I think the guy's done a really slack job of
the phone's never already worked again since anyway, twenty one
past nine, Fullett's Marcus, welcome, good evening, I Phil.

Speaker 10 (46:33):
Hey Marcus, Yeah, I was there tonight.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
Oh good.

Speaker 10 (46:37):
My club ACA, which is Auckland City Athletics, put the
meat on. We had Ben Ruth, Sam's dad and coach
Craig Kirk, was asked us about three weeks ago if
we could run a mile for him before he turns sixteen,
and we love racing at night here an auten. Once

(47:01):
the weather sort of settled down and that and tonight
was pretty perfect. Actually, while it rained, it cleared up
at about seven point thirty and both the ladies and
the men got the race and beautiful conditions with barely
any wind.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Oh welome, well done you Phil. That was remarkable because
because and looking watching it on the TV, watching both
races for AVIAT you pulled together three weeks, it seemed
like had a pretty competitive field. Have you got people
from right around the country for that?

Speaker 10 (47:35):
Yeah, I mean most of the guys that were racing
the mile was kind of Auckland, isn't it. Obviously all
boys from Towld that both Sam's trained with and you know,
Sam Tanner had committed to helping Sam Ruth do the time,
and what better that than to have a three fifty

(47:57):
miler come and do your pacemaking for you. So, you know, Sam,
Sam Ruth still had to do it, and they were
pretty on the money pretty much all the way. Actually,
I clocked them at sort of fifty eighth and a
half first lap, and then it was one fifty eight,
two fifty eight, and then they roll home in sixty seconds.

(48:17):
You know, it's because it's an extra nine meters. It's
a little bit confusing with the split, the.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Nine the ninth, the nine meters at the beginning. Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 10 (48:27):
Yeah, yeah, the nine meters at the beginning. So so
each is two meters two point two five meters further
back from the line, so so you get a different read. Yeah,
on the timing.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Is there anything, Phill, Is there anything about the sub
four that prevents you using pacemakers? Are all that's legit,
that's all sort of out a long time ago, is that.

Speaker 10 (48:52):
Right, it's all legit, all legit. Pacemakers are fine. You know,
like at the end of the day, Championships like the
Olympics and that paces it can be decided between athletes,
which are isn't really but definitely pacemaking is allowed in
the sport, regularly used, and you know, without it, I

(49:16):
don't think a lot of the times would get run anyway.
Fair enough, you've got to be assistant.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
And the unit that came through third it was his first?
Was it first? Sub four? Can you tell me about him?

Speaker 16 (49:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (49:29):
Yeah, I don't know him actually he yeah, he started
a big PV. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean that's number
fifty fifty one. No, yeah, I'm not We're a bit
trying the numbers. Actually, I thought it was forty seven
or forty eight today.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Yeah, I think I think it was forty eight today,
and they've got two more today which brings it to fifty.

Speaker 14 (49:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (49:54):
So yeah, so Sam Sam would have been forty nine.
And then I think the guy wore were Bull was third.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
You don't know what his previous PB was. Do you
how much quicker head rung?

Speaker 10 (50:05):
I could? I could, I could search it up. Text
me if you can, certainly and I'll teach you. Yeah,
he's definitely a big BB.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Okay do you think Sam Tanner should have let Sam
ruth Win?

Speaker 10 (50:20):
I thought he was going to Yeah, I thought he
had actually won, But but there's you know, like at
the end of the day, I don't think it really
met us.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Yeah, I was. I was trying to. I was busy
trying to commentate it myself, so I wasn't doing well.
But he might have even had that much awareness. Would
have he known that they'd both gone under four when
he was coming down.

Speaker 10 (50:41):
Yeah, yeah he could. He could see that there's a
clock on the finish line. Yeah, you can see it
as you're getting close to it, and they would have
known that they were really, you know, under it. They
were well under it actually, which was you know, pretty
obvious in the last sort of twenty meters that they
were going.

Speaker 17 (50:58):
To be under it.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
And he didn't.

Speaker 10 (51:00):
Sam Ruth didn't folder at all. Actually looked great. He
was racing still right through the line.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Look look incredibly relaxed. He looked like, Yeah, it was unbelievable.
We might be going into a golden era of track
and field, are we?

Speaker 10 (51:13):
I think so? I think we've got found another one,
another John Walker or another Nick willis another Peter Snell.
He's been well coached and well managed, loves loves the
sport and looking at him at fifteen. Man, that's pretty
impressive stuff. Three you know, three fifty eight is a
fifteen year old and world world record now pretty impressive actually.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
And Phil, I don't know how much you know about it.
I mean you've rung me. Are you are you? Are
you a coach or any think you're just an enthusiast.

Speaker 10 (51:45):
I am a coach. And the girl was taken out today,
Nina Charmers taking out. Yeah, she under eighteen national champion
last week in Dneda. And actually unfortunately Bo Richie got
that dked for that because she cut across the girls, yeah,
and took her out. So yeah, it's unfortunate because Nina

(52:08):
is in great shape. And and I'm phil clothed the
sub portmanent my life.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
So okay, I understand Phil, appreciate you're talking to you.

Speaker 10 (52:19):
But Sam didn't take my time down, so I'm delighted
about that.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (52:24):
The only reason that he didn't save the dog.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
The only reason I asked you full about your credentials
because I know that Sam Ruth's father's talked about how
lightly he's training. Is that really important when you're still growing?
Is that sort of that be the thinking? Is that right?
You wouldn't want to burn them out. Would that be
an emotional thing or a physical thing?

Speaker 10 (52:42):
Oh same with the girls and boys. They you know,
we were all kids once and I know that I
overtrained when I was that age fifteen ye I got
injuries like for me as a coach, and I know
Craig Kirk is the same. We rarely try to nurture
the kids and make sure that they get to eighteen

(53:04):
nineteen when they're adults and still love the running and
want to be part of the scene, and don't break them,
you know, like that. He's he's he does a lot
of other different things and he's seam tens are saying,
you know, LARTs is surfing and does a lot of
cross training and all that sort of stuff. And I think,
I think very well managed by a family. The Roofs

(53:27):
definitely mean and running long enough to know what they're doing,
and obviously grandparents didn't know a bit about running as well.
So yeah, but a breeding and a lot of probably
intelligent coaching, which is which is fantastic because he's a
super talent, and a lot's coming. I think there's a
lot coming in the future.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
What number were you film? What number my sub four.
Were you number twenty or something?

Speaker 10 (53:52):
Were you I'm twenty two or something?

Speaker 17 (53:54):
Twenty one?

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Yeah, twenty three, Yeah, I looked. I've looked at the
list of twenty three.

Speaker 10 (54:00):
Yeah, there we are. I don't know. There seems a
lot of young fellers taking taking that time, so I'm
always going to be on the list. Thank goodness. You
know you can't take it away, So take it away.
Its great to Yeah, great to see these young kids
doing so well, and hopefully you know, there'll be world
record holders. They'd be fantastic, wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
It lovely you talk, pil Thank you so much for
coming through. Really appreciate that.

Speaker 11 (54:25):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
By the way, too, It's still a lot happening tonight.
There is a fire and o how Hau which is
not the one in the South Island, the North Island one,
which is kind of confusing, but there is a Yeah,
I haven't heard much about that, but the details from
n Z tar As follows. It's been a bad week

(54:47):
for the highway, isn't it. So I'm clicking on it now.
This is north of Utucky. Due to fire, State Highway
one is closed between Mohunoah West Road and Victoria Terrace.
For northbound road uses, turn left into Moho West Road,
right into Jubois Terrasts right in Victoria Terrace, then left

(55:09):
back on a state HIAI ian reverse for southbound road users.
I'm not I suspect they have a lot of fires there,
am I right? It feels like we've had fires and
diversions there before. Of course, I'll tell you what does
the fire season. I'll tell you what I've noticed from
my meanderings today. The blackberries haven't been good. Anyway, I'll

(55:31):
get to the text because these are important. Marcus heading
to Parmeston North of the morning from Auckland. What's the
best route? Google Maps reckons via Osakahonga National Park through
Highway though I thought Highway one and Desert Road would
be better. What do you think? Given could someone Auckland
Parmerston North is a good trucky question? Which way would
you go? I'd go down the guts if you do

(55:55):
that back way round oh Porongia, I reckon. I don't
reckon it's any good, no good for old tom Phillips Country.
Now I reckon you're best going down. But someone will
probably dispute that because there are roadworks, But thank you, Marcus.

(56:18):
Things that seem to stay the same price. My strawberries
twelve dollars for one kilogram nineteen years and people still
ask the price. That's alan from the red barn.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
On.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
People have pulled out to me that Kennedy got shot
and Lincoln Continental. Well, they wouldn't care. The kids, honestly
wouldn't care. I was also thinking I was talking to
the kids too. You I picked I wait for a
long walk with one of my boys day and a
lot of discussions about things, but discussion about cars. Car

(56:56):
which card? He's asking which car I've liked the best?
I'm thinking, well, and I feel a bit sorry for
it because all the cars these days are identical. And
I've talked to people on the show about Prefects and
Zephyrs and stuff like that. The cars were really different.
But kids aren't going to have that talk about I
remember when we bought this, because they're all the same.
They all look like a hando Tucson. Anyway, I got

(57:18):
a lot to say to I don't ever know Marcus Bannis
around the first sub four and three fifty nine point
four at the edge of twenty five that was in
fifty four. We're marching. We're watching the early stage of
a champion, through and through, Marcus. I got my water
in my charge put on the way to the airport.
I used the hand dryer in the bathroom. That's a

(57:40):
great idea. Worked a treat, Marcus. One thing that's never
changed in price A dollar mixture. Marcus sam Ruth's mother
and grandmother of regod athletes. His grandmother was my pee

(58:00):
teacher at Tonga Girls College. Pretty sure she went to
the calm games on the track. Marcus. We went into
lockdown during your show, which was pretty historic. I'll always
appreciate their heads up you gave us. That's right, that
did happen on our show. And someone rang up and said,
I'm at the Green Lane supermarket and it's going mental, Susie.

(58:21):
It's Marcus. Good evening, Hi, Marcus.

Speaker 16 (58:23):
I know it's not your topic, but I just wanted
to ring up. How people how lovely that TEENA movie is?

Speaker 4 (58:29):
People?

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Look, I feel bad because I don't even evident. Everyone
seems to absolutely love it.

Speaker 16 (58:35):
You were That's why I'll run tonight. I didn't think
you would mind.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
No, absolutely no, no, this is something to celebrate.

Speaker 16 (58:41):
This is exciting, and I just can't go into detail
because you might spaller for some people. But you leave
there with tears. Markets that were so beautiful and.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
Look, isn't that great because it's been a while since
we've had a banger of a Keywi movie. But everyone
seems to be responding really really well to.

Speaker 16 (58:56):
That definitely, and what I.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
What I kind of liked about it. It just kind
of came from nowhere. There was no kind of high expectations.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
It just arrived.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Bang.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
It was just like that, and boy word.

Speaker 16 (59:10):
Of mouth, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Yes, we're a good crowd. A lot of people there.

Speaker 16 (59:16):
Not really Marcus, only about nine, but there was a
screening it. It seems to be the nights they have
more people because a lot of people are working during
the day.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Marcus, that's nice to hear from you, Susie, appreciate that.
Twenty five to ten, My name is Marcus. We're talking
about Track and Field and Tina and the JFKs. You've
been to the files. Thank you for all that about
the Cadillac in the golden age of Track and Field? Marcus,

(59:49):
What news was released about Kennedy today? Where look, a
lot of news was released about Kennedy. But there's eighty
thousand pages. There's all sorts of letters that have been released,
and but look, I suspect a lot of people are
posting fake document it's as well. So it was hard
to work out it needs to go through some sort

(01:00:11):
of academic historic rigor before we know exactly what's happened,
because I first started going on Twitter and things and
seeing all sorts of stuff. But actually when I went
to credible news websites, they said that it's largely stuff
that we've always known. I mean, there's some funny ones,

(01:00:37):
so I can't even work out ill have it. It
was squias around during the news to say, if I
get some more intel about that, what the great takeouts are?
Oh wow, okay, this is great. So Ben Walls, right,
who came third? This was I talked to Phil Clode
about this. He's New Zealand's fiftieth sub formatut miler. Ben

(01:00:59):
walls personal best was four oh seven point eighty seven,
so it's taken eight seconds off his best mile with
fifty nine. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (01:01:09):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
By the way, I apologize, it's pronounced tina meaning mother
and someone thank you, phone and water I dropped mine
in my teacup, talking apart and air it for a
few days. Mine's all good now, Marcus, I'm in Ohaw.
The last time we had a major diversion through here
was when the petrol tanker fell over on State Hiway one.

(01:01:30):
The road was closed all day. It took me three
hours to drive from or Tucky to o Hal fifty kilometers.
I don't know anything other than it was a house
fire and O how oh it's a house fire. Okay,
so it's not forestry anyway. Get in touch. My name
is Marcus. Welcome twenty three away from ten. I hope
it's good with you. I've enjoyed tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
So we know all about the track and field, don't we.
It was like, this guy is going to turn sixteen,
let's get a good race going. And they got the
Aukland Athletic Association whatever it's called, to sort it out.
And they got the field together and inclan that lovely
trathlete that we spoke to. And we've finally found we
found a listing, haven't we, Dan?

Speaker 17 (01:02:14):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Isn't it fetch it?

Speaker 17 (01:02:18):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
I see it's not up to date. It's only the
top thirty one times. Okay, so is he the thirty
first quickest of the fifty So it's the twenty nine,
twenty nine quickest. Okay, twenty sixth quickest sub four okay,

(01:02:41):
thanks for that. Oh now there's been a message for
Sam from Sam Walker that has been brought to my attention.
I don't even know where this would be, would he
be on Twitter or quite where this is from. Congratulations

(01:03:03):
to Sam Ruth. He is the first fifteen year old
in the world to break forwth minutes for the mile.
He ran three fifty eight point three in Orkan, news
Eland tonight. What an exciting future this young man has
in front of him. Imagine what he will be running
as an eighteen year old. Well done, Sam, that's what
sir John Walker a statement from him, first fifteen year

(01:03:23):
old ever to go under four minutes at Mount Smart
the ego just look at just looking at a lot
of world media about this race that's been run with
John Walker now speaking and people kind of globally amazed
that a fifteen year old has gone sub for because
it's a kind of a particularly in the well, I mean,

(01:03:46):
after Roger Banister, it particularly all those countries people are
obsessed with sub four minutes. But I'm seeing on Twitter
there's a photo posted which is the photo of the race,
and I'm going to describe the photo to you because
it says everything. We'll put the photo on our Facebook
page because it's extraordinary. Sam Tanner is crossing the line.

(01:04:09):
None of his feet are touching the ground. His lower
foot is about eight inches off the ground. His other
foot is kind of mid kicked back. He's got his
two hands up and an exclamation kind of a look,
and he's twisting around and looking at Sam Ruth, and

(01:04:31):
Sam Ruth is beside him, just almost alongside him, and
he's got his hands out in a no worries kind
of an expression. And then the young guy with the
guy behind him is coming through, also the guy that
also went sub for It's an amazing image. It's one
of the iconic athing images. I imagine that will become

(01:04:53):
the iconic shot of that event. Oceana Athletics has posted
that if you want to go look at that foot,
I'll I'll get there to find that and put that
on our Facebook page. We are talking track and field.
We're also talking about keeping your phone dry if the
portal gets wet. It's been a busy show all sorts
of reasons. I mean not often I get to commentate
a mile race and they go sub four. Now keep

(01:05:20):
your texts coming through. Also, Tina movie, absolutely the best
twenty or more today north Shore Auckland. Great program. Thank
you Shell, nice shell, thank you. Nice to hear from you.
If you want to talk on here eight hundred and
eighty tay nine dext we're talking sub formulate miles and
drying your phone portal if it gets wet. Also the

(01:05:42):
JFK Darter if you've looked into that, would like to
hear you talk about. By the way, here we go.
Here's the question. I'll beat Darcy and Deacon of this one.
And it's a shame that. It's a shame. The rat
Christo Raher two's got no more columns. Beau would be
a great one for him. As I pivot to sport,
you go sub four. Do you get the Halburg? You

(01:06:06):
get it a Halburg, wouldn't you? I'll give it to
a canoe again, I mean, would you sub four? It's
the Halburg, isn't it. It's got to be particularly since
Halburg Halburg track and field. There you go he himself
was a sub formant. It's got to go to him.
He's got to get this guy can get everything. He

(01:06:28):
can get the Young Athlete of the Year, he can
get the Male Athlete of the year, he can get
the overall a ride, and he can get the sporting
moment of the year. It's a clean sweep, isn't it.
It's got the lot, got the quad factor. Unbelievable anyway, Oh,

(01:06:56):

nine nine two decks, looking forward to what you've got

get in touch. You want to talk on your myn
name as Marcus welcome. If there's something else you want
to mention, including the movie ten R and yeah, there
was the thing. It came from nowhere, that one. That movie.
I didn't think that was going to be something. In fact,
I remember seeing and I normally try and keep up

(01:07:36):
to date with what's going on kind of you know
and show business. But I saw on Facebook some people
attending a premier. I thought, what's that as a musical word,
I had no idea what it was. It was only
later on I read reports and had broken a million
dollars in its opening weekend and I realized it was
a movie. So it's a fantastic thing. Anyway. Fourteen to ten,

(01:07:57):
my name's Marcus. Welcome hitdal twelve. As I say, if
you want to talk on her eight hundred and eighty
to did you go to our Facebook page? It's a
great shot. Adan, It's it's epic. It's an epic shot.
So do get in touch Marcus till twelve, Da da da, Yeah,

(01:08:17):
I'm excited. Oh eight hundred eighty ten, eight nine text.
I just got to look at my I've just got
to seeing what my kids are doing. That one of
my kids is off to a one of those days
in to meet at school. You've got to dress as
your race or no, that sounds wrong, you've got to
dress you know, culture day. So there's been some challenges
with what he's supposed I told him to go on

(01:08:38):
as Crenella Crenula, Jersey. But we decided that well, I
wasn't quite sure about that. Anyway, He's come up with
something and that's a win. There'd be problematicouldn't it for
all sorts of reasons. I think it's called culture. They
got to take some food as well. I said, I
drop them off twenty bucks of chips, hot chips. But

(01:09:01):
I don't know if that's going to happen anyway. Get
in touch, you on to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
oh eight hundred and eighty text love to hear from
your ten away from ten. Go to the Facebook page
market slash Nights. It's brilliant that picture of Sam Ruth
running the sub formuut mile and if you want to
talk about when your cell phone gets wet or track

(01:09:22):
and feel. But it's a golden age. We've got the
gold medal at the Olympics in the high jump. We've
got I mean, this guy's I mean touch what no pressure.
But you know, even John Walker is saying, oh my god,
imagine how quick he's going to be when he's eighteen.
It's unbelievable. I feel I've got too much going on

(01:09:45):
today with different topics because there are good topics out there,
but the question I did want someone's rung up and
said they're driving Auckland to Parmester north Throw, which is
the quickest way to go?

Speaker 8 (01:09:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
I love a discussion about the merits of different journeys,
because in invert Cargo they are always discussing the quickest
way to go to Dunedin, whether you take the old
coach road, which always causes me to start seeing a
little navs X because take my horse down the old

(01:10:16):
Coulture anyway. So but yeah, that props up most days
someone will discuss the various merits. Marcus heading to Parmeston
in the morning from Auckland. What's the best route? Google
Maps reckoned via Otlahonga National Park. Thought Highway one and
Desert Road would be better. What do you think, Kevin,
I'd go the Highway one. I reckon that down the

(01:10:39):
back down the mountain. I don't like that route, I
feel I don't like those small towns after I don't
like it at all. I don't like those kind of
decrepit looking railway stations at Tiquit. I'm not into it.
But that's just me. Someone will have a more scientific
point of view. From a distance point of view. But yeah,
Kevin's asked a question. I think he demands an answer. Oh,

(01:11:00):
eight hundred eighty eight, Marcus. Another very good shot in
the moment is a mixtape for Maladies. It's wry about
the Civil War in Sri Lanka. Wogan together with tunes
from the era that family used to listen to. Powerful
play about music and memories. Has live music in the show.
Great reviews. It's an Auckland Theater Company productions on the
ASB water Front Theater every night on the till the

(01:11:23):
twenty third, she has been Marcus Go Desert Road, Marcus.
If driving from Auckland to Wellington, drive via Tiquity National Park.
State Highway one's closed just after Potadadoo and also around
Wahiteitucky before topor detours are a nightmare. There we go

(01:11:46):
Marcus to Pami State high Wan to Sampson, then State
Highway three from Sampson to Parmi Highway one and turn
off at Himatangi. Apparently there are road works though around
about putadalou So yeah, it might be. It might be
dodgy anyway, Ross Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:12:03):
Welcome, Yeah, listen. The quickest way to Winnington. In my
view is just as you pass the towering a turn
off about three hundred meters past there, there's a turn
off to the right which goes up the side of
Karapiro and I would go down there and it takes

(01:12:26):
you out when you climb out of the valley, there's
a little wiggle part. Go directly across and join the
old Tapa Road and that'll bring you out by just
before take a rha and from there following your nose
down to Fokomaro and on to the Western Access Road. Okay,

(01:12:50):
that's all.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Brilliant, always like a life. Heck, I couldn't work out
if it was going up or going down? Cheap is Okay, Wow,
I didn't realize there's a rent run around there. Can
anyone tell me more about that? I'm looking on the map.
It seems to make quite good sense, but I haven't
quite got the full vibe of that one. But yeah, cheapers,

(01:13:14):
you might want to add something to that. Love a
roading debate. Get in touch Marx till twelve O eight
and eighty Teddy and nine nine to text. Use the
app Ways to compare routes. It's better than Google Maps.
Currently lots of thirty k's and placed along the desert road.
Drove it Monday and it's called ways w A ZD.

(01:13:36):
You heard of it, Dan, I've never how long has
it been around, like twenty years? Never heard of it?
Ways w A's. Don't like the way it's spelled markets Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:13:53):
Yes, I just to elaborating on that last quarter, beginning
that road down to too Ringy, Yes, sure. Where you
turn off just past the Meta Matta turn off that
goes off to the right on State Highway one heading south,

(01:14:14):
there's a turnoff that crosses the Waikato River.

Speaker 18 (01:14:17):
At high Horror Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Then that that little road.

Speaker 8 (01:14:21):
Runs follows the Waikato River down towards Arapuni, which is
the next station beyond upstream from Karapiro heading south, and
that road eventually comes up on just by the the
Arapeni power station and you go up onto that highway

(01:14:45):
that comes from the true heading over to the road
that runs between Muti and Bokamaru, and so you just
follow that. You do it right up there and cross
over the Arapenei power Station bridge, and that takes you
onto that intersection that road that runs between Tiomutu and

(01:15:11):
Fokamaru and do a left and just follow that road
down heading south and you go past why Papa the
next station, and then winds up and bypasses Manga Kino
and then you take the the next intersection road that
runs off to the right at the at Wakamaru and

(01:15:33):
that's poor hippie road and that that road will take
you all the way. Yeah, tee hoy road. Sorry, tee hoy.
That road will take you strake down on the western
side of Lake Taupo and comes in at Tinge and
then you can carry on down on the desert road.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Is this like a recently? What was the first lake
you said that comes by?

Speaker 8 (01:16:03):
The first first lake is Lake Karapiro.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
Yeah, then the next one.

Speaker 8 (01:16:08):
A and then white Paper all the state. There are
nine stations on the Whiteado River and I've operated most
of them, and I used to go down there a
lot years ago, and so I know that road really well.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
Is it quicker?

Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
Oh yeah, it's a lot quicker. When I used to
cut through from coming from with the Anger, I used
to cut across, come through Piral Tierra, then cut across
and bypass Meta Mata and and cut straight across and

(01:16:48):
coming out at that intersection from Meta Mata. Just tear
on the road and and then then just go down
a little bit and then turn right over the horror
horror and then follow that d down and the horror about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
Yeah, okay, so hey, is it a road that's now
become quite popular because a lot of people know about
the Secret Highway? Or is it still pretty? There's no
one on it.

Speaker 8 (01:17:14):
There's no one on it and I never see anyone
for passing the cars, or or it was good, it
was a good rate. It's small tower seel and it's
it's a nice d drive and through the country and
it's a good road. Not many people know about that one. Yeah,
I don't know anyone else that knows about I found
it and and I used it a lot because it was

(01:17:36):
just so much quicker.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Do you think that road that you've discovered is different
from what the first go roun because it's talk about
the old Topol road, which I think you've mentioned. Have
you that's a different road again? Is it it got
two names? Maybe it's the road with two names. I
didn't see it before now I can't see it.

Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
It may be it's the way he described it is
the same. What I was talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:59):
I really appreciate that. That course, whenever I thought everything
was discussed when it came to Aukland, Wellington didn't know
there's a new route you could take. Don't fully worked out.

Speaker 17 (01:18:07):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
I can see where you've got the before the turn
off to Madam Muddy. You've got the horror, horror, and
you go across there. What's the lake they fluttered? That's nearby?
That's what thought. That what the guy was referring to
Brian Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
Welcome, Edie Marcus. How are we good? Brian?

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
If you sound like a truck driver.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Yeah, I'm southbound at the moment. That's all good, right.
If you don't know the roads, you sway to come.
If you come out of Auckland, go over to bomb
Base and bok a left onto on the highway toads.
Follow that all the way down. Then switch over on
to Highway twenty seven and follow that all the way

(01:18:50):
down through Mada Matter. Pop out at t Row go
left and follow that all the way through Twerpo, go
up over the tower pau five pass. Just follow that
all the way down and then you've got two options.
You either turn less. It's going to get hill, we
go to park, than that way through fielding, or just
go all the way down the balls turned left and

(01:19:12):
then just follow that all the way unto Parmerston.

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
Okay, what about the guy that wanted to go lift
at Horror Horror down the other side of the west
side of the White Cat. Is it something you've ever done.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
I've been around that area all the time, But it
depends on that you've got local area knowledge. If you
take the wrong turn off, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
I reckon, I reckon, that could be a relationship ruiner.
If you took the wrong way and yeah, I reckon,
you could be in trouble with that. It seemed like
the directions were quite complicated to me.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
Yeah, no, that's the easiest way. State Highway so twenty
seven and then down that way.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Brilliant. Always enjoy the state Hurry twenty seven. Heck for
a while, this State twenty seven seem to be some
sort of undiscovered secret. Not anymore. Get in touch with discussing.
Awkin to Palmerston, Marcus, Kapito and surrounding area will be

(01:20:09):
busy this week and weekend due to row row rowing
Row your boat, Marty Cup Marcus wee, can you go
repair an old mobile phone to retrieved photos on it.
It's a great question or somewhere to fix old cameras
and older clocks that don't go. It's even hard to
find anything to develop old Kodak films. We cleaned out

(01:20:30):
a recently deceased uncle's flat and found a real large
brandy glass full of old undeveloped films. So we'd like
to get them developed. You know, I've got any suggestions
for that. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus Pittatadu
to Waireki for another three weeks might open for the
VH Cheers. Plaudits must go to Sam Tanner for taking

(01:20:52):
the role of the pace made helpers young charge Sam
to a world record and still win the race. I
don't know much about ways, although I think we've talked
ways before. That's the app w A z e oh.
I told you just gonna bring some more information about
jf K two. I haven't had. I was too busy.
I'm relaxing during the newsbreak action, which is not like me.

(01:21:17):
So the latest I'll do a new search and I'll
go into the last hour. That's what I do to
get the more recent stuff. Oswald's phone called a KGB

(01:21:41):
officers the trip before the assassination. So yeah, there's a
lot about that. I'll try and see if I get
some information. You might have done a bit of a
deep dive yourself and have some information for us. Tricia, Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:21:56):
Hello and Marcus. This is March and Trisia.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
How about marching Tricia?

Speaker 9 (01:22:00):
How are you a great look? Just a little quick story.
Were setting off to Palmerston the other week to go
to our north I own our national champions ship and
set off from Hamilton. I'd traveled from Tierraha, so I'd
already done forty minutes and off we went our team

(01:22:25):
and where we stopped, I don't know where we stopped
because it was somewhere I didn't know. When we bought
some lovely food, got back in the vehicle again, happily eating. Anyway,
we're driving along going to Palmerston. And next thing, one
of the girls said, do we go to Mocow on
the way to Palmerston And I said, I said definitely not.

(01:22:51):
Next thing, We're going up Mount me Singer. And I
phoned my husband and he's a horse trainer, right, so
he head set off from Tierraha I don't know what
hour of the morning in his big seven horse truck
taking horses to Waverly. So I phoned him when we're
going up Mount Messinger and I said, Peter, where we're

(01:23:14):
going to Palmerston, as you know, but we're actually traveling
up Mount Messenger. And he said, well, you've gone the
wrong way. I said, yes, well we know that, and
so he said where we need to go and he said,
I'll probably pass you coming into Waverley and he laughed.
So here we went through all those towns you said

(01:23:36):
mentioned before. There was Stradford, there was Sarah, there was Party,
and we were oh, every town in New Zealand we
went past and you.

Speaker 11 (01:23:45):
Would not believe it.

Speaker 9 (01:23:47):
We're driving past the Waverley Racecourse, as he had just
driven in, and so we so wet. We gave him
a toot and we played that soul Marcus, I've been everywhere,
and honestly we were just absolutely hysterical. By the time

(01:24:10):
we got to Palmerston Weld, we could hardly walk. We've
been the thecar for seven and a half hours. Really, yes,
took seven and a half, probably seven and a quarter.
But by the time we so.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
Was it the old age problem of confusing New Plymouth
and Palmerston.

Speaker 9 (01:24:29):
North No, No, our navigator was busy talking, well.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
That's marching for you. A yeah, okay, well goodness, okay,
not paying attention.

Speaker 9 (01:24:42):
We came home that other way, what National Parkway. It
was a nice drive because the Desert Road was closed.
But I do believe it's open now that I'm not
one hundred percent sure, but that's my story getting to
Palmerston like it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Like Electricia, Thanks very much for that. And where to
get old old photos off cameras, off phones that have broke.
That's confusing for me because that's all in the cloud.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:21):
So if you've got any information about the JFK stuff
that was released, I kind of I am curious about that.
It's been out for about ten hours now, so they've
released a lot of the versions that were redacted, and

(01:25:45):
it's unclear why a lot of the stuff has been redacted.
We've got some information about that. Be interesting to hear
from your oh eight hundred and eighty ten. If there's
something else you want to mention tonight too. Jumping up
things are the other thing the topic things that have
remained the same price, someone said, Jiff, probably in the
smaller container. That's what they do these days. Ken's Cameras

(01:26:12):
and christ Jews develops old film. Thank you for that
State Highway wan to Viv's kitchen and Sanson goes straight
ahead to Pame. Marcus, lots of people miss the left
turn after Teaquitdio. It's called five mile junction. Catches plenty.
Oh it's good point you make. It's not that well
signposted either, is it. Gosh? Wyon'd anyone go that way? Marcus.

(01:26:39):
Anything to do with old photos, try cedy imaging in
Alexandra Mark is marvelous. Well anyway in Alexander's good. That's
from marg Us every night, first time contact, Love you Mark,
thanks so much for that. Twenty three past ten, we're
talking sub for four minute miles. How good is this guy,
Sam ruth Head When every Halberg wont a young young sportsperson,

(01:27:04):
sports person, sports moment overall, they should have televised that
damn thing. Well, they've got on stuff website for putting
it out there on their website, was also on YouTube.
I guess that where it's talk going to end up.
Marcus Ferrymede Photos and christ Church still sell and developed
films from cameras had some done the last years ten

(01:27:25):
years old, great photos. That's from Tracy, great name, Tracy,
get in touch, Marcus Till Midnight and also jfkn also too,
when you can't charge your phone because the portal's wet,
they don't call it a portal, they call it a
charging station. Anything else you want to talking about tonight too,

(01:27:47):
I'm up for it. Actually, it's been a very relaxing
night for me talking or we got that to get
that race and I've been a track and field discussion.
So for those who have just joined us, New Zealand
has got a fifteen year old to be the first
person in the world to run under four minutes. That
happened just after eight o'clock today. So what that race

(01:28:07):
also featured was two New Zealanders. Sorry, it featured three
New Zealanders running subfur minute miles and two New Zealanders
running subform minute miles for the first time. I don't
know how often that happens, because we look at all

(01:28:28):
the years Kiwis have run subformanut miles. I don't know
who the first one was, It's probably Snail. Was it
only fifty have done it. Two of them did it
tonight in the same race. It's very hard to find
a comprehensive list of New Zealand sub fifty sub formunute mileers.
It's I've spent quite a bit of time on Google
trying to work that one out. But yeah, that's a
there's some interesting discussions about that. I presume Peter Snell

(01:28:54):
was the first, of course too. John Walker went three
point fifty. He was a per first person to go
under three fifty. I remember the headland waking up to
the headline of that in the paper. Was it in
Gothenburg or something like that? So we are talking about
subforminate miles. But yeah, and I don't know, I should
have Phil cloded. Well, several people that were the event
and rang up previously, but I should have asked Phil Weather.

(01:29:15):
In fact, that's the first time anyone's got subformuate miles
at Mount Smart? Is it in the list?

Speaker 5 (01:29:21):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
John Walker ran his one hundred at Mount Smart? Now
you know that's true because there was that great rivalry.
Were that American guy I think came over that that
was a big event at the time. That's right, Thank you, Dan. Anyway,
if you want to with that also too, But as
I say, she's a fairy, lighthearted kind of go around

(01:29:49):
tonight a bit of everything. Pretty intrigued by that quicker
way to go Auckland, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, down the west
side of Lake of the Wakata River. Getting touchy on
talk about that. My name is Marcus Hilt the good night.
There's something you want to mention. Good good, good, good good.
There might be some other breaking news type thing you've got,

(01:30:11):
and I'm all up for that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
This track and field that we've got, the track and
is that that's the incomplete lest day Dan. Oh, it's
got them all alphabetically from around the world on this one. Yeah,
that's from twenty twenty one and a lot of Kenyans there. Yeah,

(01:30:39):
got that copy of that. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nineteen nine to text you want to come through.
It'd be nice to hear from you. As I say, oh,
eight hundred eighty to ten eighty twenty six past ten evening, Garrett,

(01:31:00):
It's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:31:00):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
How are you good, Garrett? Real good? Thank you?

Speaker 17 (01:31:07):
Oh great. I was just calling in to talk about
the JFK, Fild, have.

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
You had a look at it or if you managed
to see anything new from today?

Speaker 8 (01:31:15):
Uh?

Speaker 17 (01:31:16):
I have. So there's there's a couple of things related
to the assassination attempts on Fidel Castro that are dumped,
so not directly on the on the Kennedy assassination, but
more so on the assassination attempts of Fidel Castro and
and JFK's role.

Speaker 8 (01:31:32):
In that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
And J and that's this is it's that C I
I beyond, that's c I A right, that's.

Speaker 17 (01:31:40):
Yeah, that's the CIA's attempts on that. So it was
the going back in that part of history. It was
the Bay of Pigs and the botched invasion, which kind
of landed JFK in a in a bit of hot
water with the C I A and and at that
time he was battling it out with the heads of
of those departments and and kind of the military industrial complex,

(01:32:02):
and so there was there was always speculation about what
role they might have played in his assassination because it
was it was well known that he didn't get along
with them, and there was some speculation that they were
involved in his assassination. So it's it's interesting to see
all the files dumped, and there's a lot of Americans

(01:32:22):
out there that kind of doubt about the honesty of
the government at the time and whether or not it
played a role in the assassination. And we'll see as
people come through the eighty thousand pages of information on
whether or not any of that that comes to light.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
So the Piper trial linking Kennedy to the cis the
attempted assassination on Kstar. That's new?

Speaker 17 (01:32:45):
Is that what you're saying, Well, it is new, and
so there's there's new evidence that that's come out in
there around what his role was in the assassination attempt
on Castro, and and there's multiple in there. And I
believe that's why the CI didn't want the documents released
because they they cover kind of the different ways that

(01:33:08):
that the CIA attempted to assassinate Castro when he first
roast to Powers. So there was there, I think speculating,
but I think that's why the government didn't want those
documents disclosed, because it was kind of operational matters within
the CIA that they were trying to keep secret.

Speaker 3 (01:33:30):
Nice to hear from Kerl, I do appreciate that just
coming up to headlines if you want to talk about
this or anything else. As I say, eight hundred eighty
eighty nine detected midnight tonight. By the way, the last
of the Saw films is AW. It was going to
be the eleventh, but they've pulled the pin on that.
Production was kentled this week. I think if you've seen

(01:33:52):
one of the Saw movies, you've seen too many of them.
They were horrific. Why you'd want to see eleven? I've
got no idea, no idea in the world. Thought that
the landing of the Nassa thing was pretty amazing. There
were dolphins where they landed. How often does that happen?
Not very often. Buttually there must be a lot of
dolphins if you're just landing a spacecraft in there there.

(01:34:16):
It was amazing that footage of that. I don't know
if you saw that, but that might be something you
want to talk about. Also, dig in touch. I know,
I don't know if this is going to be of
interest to you, but Westfield at the malls, their security cameras,
their security guards are going to be issued with body cameras.
I think this is after that situation in Bondi where

(01:34:47):
that person had killed some others. Safety and security the
reason they're doing that. Our security approach has created a
partnership with law enforcements and government agencies. We invest in
our security practices can improve our capability processing people's preparedness
to respond to security. Instance, a spokesperson said, I don't

(01:35:10):
if Aloney's got any problem with that. Have they getten
filmed at the mall? When you're getting filmed anywhere from
all those cameras that are everywhere twenty seven away from
eleven o'clock mark are still twelve? And I'm pretty if
you Alt wants to explain that quickest way to get from
Auckland to Palmerston North on the western So I have
sort of kind of got the vibe with that one.

(01:35:31):
I need to look get the maps out to write
that one down. It's always exciting when people come up
with a new way and a new route. Then after
a while it becomes the most popular one and becomes
kind of set in stone, always singing that back route
people always used to go from Auckland to New Plymouth
out around Perongha and stuff like that. Well, I see

(01:35:53):
that's the way Google Maps takes you these days. It's
become the established one. The other discussion is flying getting
too uncomfortable and cramped. Well, I wouldn't want to be
a basketballer traveling around the world, to put it that way.

(01:36:13):
I don't know what the solution to flying is. I
reckon at school they should teach kids to get off
planes quickly, because boy, people are bad at that. It's
a skill that no one has. They wait till everyone's left,
then they start getting their baggage out of the overhead locker.

(01:36:36):
I don't know what the solution is, get one of
those silly bags on wheels. Altogether, they're looking forward to
your calls, as I say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty,
get in touch. You got anything you want to talk
about tonight, including the release of the JFK files. But
I think everyone's agreed it's going to be some time
before the real gotcha's come out for that one. And

(01:36:59):
I guess the whole point really was people they didn't
know why certainly certain documents were with held or redected.
So I've been trying to look all day to find
information for you. I mean, what you do need is
sort of the five Biggest bomb showers article. I think
I might have found one of those, although it's someone's

(01:37:23):
opinion as to what the bombshells are. There would be
my take on that one. But the article I've found
five biggest takeouts from Lee Harvey Oswald was a poor shot.
One document start of the KGB monitor Oswald while he

(01:37:45):
was in the US is R because he was married
to a Soviet woman. The Marines spent time in the
country where is monitored continuocy by the KGB, telling me
one telling ly one document on his markmanship skills list,
the men would go that the men would go on

(01:38:07):
to kill JFK is a poor shot after observing him
on a firing range. So there you go, he's a
poor shot. There's a lot of discussion about John Garrett Underhill,
who was a CIA agent. The day after the assassination,

(01:38:31):
Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late the evening,
he showed up in the home of a friend of
New Jersey. He was reagitated. A small clique within the
CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he
was afraid for his life and probably would have to
leave the country. Less than six months later, Underhill was
found shot to death as Washington apartment. The coroner ruled

(01:38:52):
it a suicide, I think, though the shot was behind
the ear, which they thought was unlikely. Another thing, too,
Oswald was not a KGB spy. One document details had
an American professor named E. B. Smith was befriended by
a CIA agent working in Saint Petersburg station the month

(01:39:14):
for the assassination. Smith was thought to have confide in
the agent about a friend of KGB official known as
Slava Nikanov, who had reviewed the thick files held by
the organization on Oswald. The document states Nikanov is now
confident that Oswald was at no time an agent controlled
by the KGB. The other point were the CIA warned.

(01:39:36):
The trove includes a nineteen seventy that letter sent by
a man named sergeiev A Somino to the British embassy.
In it, he says he was detained in London and
July sixty three and interviewed by authorities, where he claims
to have told them of a plot by Oswald to
kill the US president. He claims the Americans' vice consul

(01:40:01):
Black Share, was allerde to Oswald's plans and was trying
to defect their to the Soviet Union. But most of
the documents, by the way, are not new, so it's
just that people are relooking at them. A lot of
this is sort of old stuff that people have kind
of probably forgot about nineteen to eleven. How you're going people?

(01:40:22):
Marcus on Midnight Line's Free talk about the sub formulate mile,
talking about the alternate ways to go Auckland Farmerston North
also talking about things that have remained the same price forever,
like Jiff and I forget the other things that were mentioned.
You might know, but jumping. If you want to talk,

(01:40:46):
there's someone that texts me every night asking me for
any product recalls. We have got one today. Kmart has
recalled a pickle jar at risk of exploding. Kmart has
recalled an Ancho branded glass pickle jar that's at risk
of breaking or exploding, sold at Kmart for two years

(01:41:12):
from February twenty twenty three to March this year. The
affected product can break when you used to store certain
fruit or vegetables and liquid fermented food stored and affected
products can build up gas and cause the jar to
explode or make the difficult to remove. It looks like

(01:41:33):
a stupid product got no idea what it's for. I
never know what to pick how pickling a pickle jar works,
but it's quite complicated its construction. It came out spokes
where I said the product had been recalled and confirmed
customers could return to the store for a fef regardless
of where that experience an issue. There you go as

(01:41:53):
they should. By the way, I said it's twenty five
to eleven, it's twenty five eleven, not twenty five to twelve.
I got the time wrong. No surprises, there's seventeen to
eleven if you want to get in touched Marcus still
midnight eight hundred and eighty ten eighty sub for minut miles.
How to charge your phone where it says the charging
station is wet and that yellow arrow comes up. Wouldn't

(01:42:17):
mind some comments about that also tonight, Marcus Tenny's still
twenty bucks. Enjoying your show, Big Jay the Tracker. Thank you, Marcus.
I feel that CDs have been around thirty bucks ever
since the late eighties. What about plane fears? They've always
remained the same, haven't they. The flight to Australia has
always been about six hundred, and the flight to Europe's

(01:42:37):
always been about two grand. It's about that for thirty years,
forty years. It's probably some sort of economic theory about that.
I guess flight's just got a lot cheaper. I don't
even know how much of CD in you would cost
these days they could buy them Marcus. I wonder in
the Kennedy files what it might say about Jack Ruby

(01:42:59):
and how he managed to get so close to Oswald.
I was reading about Jack Ruby today. Jack rubin Stein
interesting ran nightclubs in Dallas, But it seems as though
it seemed as though when you ran nightclubs in Dallas

(01:43:22):
in the sixties, you're quite often just hung at the
police station because they were kind of your mates, and
they were some of the people that went to your nightclubs,
so you didn't He wasn't a particularly shady guy. I
think there was some of the stuff was covered up
because he was living with another man. I think that
was some of the context that he was probably less

(01:43:43):
than forthcoming. But he got cancer in jail, and his
family interviewed him before he died, and he said he
was acting alone. He was sort of kind of a
bit of a hot head and was outraged by the
assassination and the spin that people were trying to put

(01:44:03):
on the assassination and thought, yep, I'll do something about
that and shot them. And of course if you hadn't
shot them, I don't think we had any of the conspiracies.
And that was the way that that was the reason
the conspiracy sprang was because the assassin himself was shot
so soon after. Marcus, Sorry to ask a silly question,

(01:44:29):
but what were these trade talks with India? And US
wants to sell our milk and beef and cattle, but
what do we buy from India? I asked the same
question myself, and no one's really answered it for me.
I got no idea. I presume it to all, what
did you say? It was yesterday? Dan?

Speaker 5 (01:44:45):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
What human resources? What does that mean? That's not really
that's that's not really trade though?

Speaker 4 (01:44:58):
Was it?

Speaker 5 (01:44:59):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
Human resources? So we want them to staff call centers
and things? But yes, trade probably education is a big
thing to do, with a lot of education coming here.
But yeah, I don't fully understand what we will. Yeah,
I had that well explained to me at all six
away from eleven, Good evening, Katie, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:45:22):
Oh, yes, Sunday, Marcus. I wasn't ring and tell you
that I got married on the day person, I got
married in honor on the day people when Kennedy was shot.

Speaker 3 (01:45:32):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (01:45:33):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:45:33):
And my husband was only interested in reading all the
papers in the days that followed. He was more interestant.
He was more interested in that than being a new husband.
But anyway, I got rid of him and got another
night one.

Speaker 3 (01:45:50):
I thought you must have Can you tell me what time,
what stage of the wedding did they did the news
come through?

Speaker 5 (01:45:56):
Well, we were on a farm in North Otago and
I had about quite a few brides, made huge wedding,
and I think it was about one of the o'clock
in the afternoon when we heard it, and that was
the twenty third So it could have actually been got
the twenty second over the air.

Speaker 3 (01:46:14):
That makes it. That makes sense.

Speaker 5 (01:46:16):
And I can read that if they were rushing around
of the chill state because we'd just been told because
they'd been shot. She was a great start from the marriage.

Speaker 3 (01:46:26):
So Katie, Okay, So was the wedding in the country, right?
Did someone have a radio?

Speaker 5 (01:46:37):
We were out of the fun. We're still out on
the front.

Speaker 3 (01:46:40):
I was thinking, because if any any smart person would
say look, the prisoner American's been shot, but it's Katie's
big day. Let's keep it from us. Let's not tell
anyone because you didn't have cell phones in those days,
or it was carry a perchon.

Speaker 5 (01:46:52):
So nothing like that. We were about twenty five miles
from Obbery and we had this massive wedding and then
it was all bad luck. Really. You know, I was
very young when I got married the fifth time, and
we were on our way to get our photographs taken
in the old roy Gardens and we were all in

(01:47:14):
this beautiful, big longmausine and the silly guy in a
truck in front of us back into the back of
a wedding car and broke those two big CuPy dogs
that sit on the front of the wedding car. So
that was sort of the second thing, you know, that day.
I wondered if quite I should have been there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:39):
We wonder why someone told people that it was happening,
because you think they would have kept it front anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:47:44):
Well, we had radio in those days, so we would
have heard it on the radio.

Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
But you wouldn't have had the radio. Maybe it was
the cateriss, but you wouldn't have the wedding.

Speaker 5 (01:47:53):
We were getting in dressed in our first dresses out
of the out of Georgetown and then we drove them
to Omru for the wedding. And it was a massive wedding.
That news Sunday every day.

Speaker 3 (01:48:09):
How old did that wedding last, Katie?

Speaker 10 (01:48:11):
Six years?

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:48:13):
Yeah, well that's long enough.

Speaker 5 (01:48:14):
A it was horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
Okay, don't ask, don't ask any more about that, Katie.
But look at I'm pleased that you've rung up. Thank
you for that. I'm not happy that that was horrible,
by the way, Kennedy route, and I won't read that.
I'll talk to you after the news about that. I'm
just coming up to the break people, And after that
we've got the Hour of Power HEATL twelve. My name
is Marcus Good Evening and welcome. Oh eight hundred eighty
eighty Oh and yes, the trade with New Zealand, what

(01:48:40):
would we trade for India and return? Someone says, but
a chicken could be pharmaceuticals. I think we've got a
lot of our covid vaccines from India, didn't we didn't
they make them there? I think I remember that. Can
I say covid vaccines are going to trigger you, Marcus
India are a big trader, and pharmaceuticals and drugs and

(01:49:04):
royal and Field motorbikes. Oh eight hundred eight, he tell
me if you want to talk about this or anything

same price forever. And the sub for from Sam Ruth,
what would you do now? Do you think cheapers? I

(01:49:26):
mean that's got to be yeah, I'm just trying to
think what a fifteen year old sub formult miler would do.
So I'm sure there'd be international, huge international interests from
to be an international events. Marcus India produces natural rubber,

Billino three years ago. They are made in India. Suzuki

(01:50:12):
is big in India. Thank you for that. Get in

Plymouth I'll get to that. Someone says, isn't there cream
in most curries? Yeah, well I would imagine there probably is.
I think they can need to. I don't know. I'm

(01:50:32):
waiting for someone to bring up and tell me about
the consumption of dairy products. Marcus, thanks for keeping me
awake driving home after fish work at the hospital. That
guy that bought Suzuki Billino, what does he think of it?
Is he happy with it? Thanks Joe. Yeah, I'm being

Marcus nuts and beans do not lack tate and so
do not produce milk and advertises slate sleight of hand
for profit heart health alphabe a dairy farmer, nut milk,
oat milk. The new one is potato milk. The reckon,

(01:51:17):
but they reckon the best of all the milks, all
the ambient milks is potato milk. Got silly milk, nut milk,
oat milk, potato milk. They don't go off. Havevery on
your shelf forever. I mean, I hate to say it,
but hugely convenient if you're camping. Get in touch Marcus.

(01:51:39):
Till twelve, nuts and beans do not lactate. How do
you know, cheapers? I love a discussion about nut milks.
People get quite offended by that. That's fine. I mean basically,

(01:51:59):
what is milk? It's just pretty water with kind of
protein to spend it. So we're kind of a thing,
isn't it when you look at the purpose it fulfills? Anyway,
get in touch you want to be part of the show.
Twenty past eleven. Final flurry I'll call it the final
flurry of the night's flowing by which I've enjoyed. Good evening, Russell,

(01:52:23):
it's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Russell, Hey Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:52:27):
The question has to be asked when the cattle they're
finished producing their milk or whatever, what do they do
with the beef? Do they bury it or do they
eat it?

Speaker 3 (01:52:37):
It's a really good question. I think all these questions
we need to have answered hopefully tonight.

Speaker 13 (01:52:42):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
And then can you use the leather? Because I know
that there's some people, there's some people that respect the cows.
But when they die, then they can use the leather.

Speaker 13 (01:52:52):
They don't eat the meat, then no, But but a.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
Dead cow you can use the leather because that's but
I don't know that. I'll find out. Russell gave Marcus
good evening soon.

Speaker 11 (01:53:03):
A scared from Leston here.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
What'd you say?

Speaker 11 (01:53:08):
Honest Gay from Lesteront.

Speaker 3 (01:53:11):
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 11 (01:53:13):
Yeah, good talk to you. I've been listening to your
station for years, and I've done some deals with some
Indians today on tractor parts.

Speaker 4 (01:53:24):
Wow mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:53:28):
Were they Were they in India?

Speaker 11 (01:53:31):
I'm from India, but they're here in New Zealand and yeah,
they brought some tractor parts of me.

Speaker 3 (01:53:41):
What sort of parts.

Speaker 11 (01:53:44):
John Dere?

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
Oh yeah, John, but what parts of the tractor?

Speaker 11 (01:53:48):
I'm the three point lago James, the wonder box, the
drop it them and the drawbar.

Speaker 3 (01:53:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, do you see them? The second hand?

Speaker 11 (01:54:00):
Oh they were? They were? John Deere won't replicate tractor parts,
so they have to buy Genior wine. But the Indians
are very good at producing cheap tractor parts.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
Okay, well they seem to yeah, okay, market and that's
like that's company casting them and everything.

Speaker 11 (01:54:27):
Right, yeah, like replicating things like Massy Ferguson and international.
But some companies won't let them replicate everything, you know,
for so it becomes too cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:54:48):
Okay, I appreciate that gave on us. Thanks that blear Marcus. Hello, Hello,
highly welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:54:57):
Yeah, welcome Marcus. Just just singing about the Indian what
they give to us compared to what you know, without
dairy and all that. Well, I find the cuisine is
seems to be very good and a very cheap good

(01:55:18):
obstin you know, to eat. I'm just saying that's one
of the things that don't given New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
Oh absolutely, yeah, well given.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
The world, yeah exactly, and obviously especially even in England. Now,
I think the old carriers this other day instead of
the old arm well it used to be.

Speaker 18 (01:55:47):
Bang is a mess right yeah, yeah, but yeah, well
that's that's all I have to say about I think,
and a lot of their food should be eating a
lot more because you don't see any over these Indians,
do you.

Speaker 3 (01:56:05):
Brilliant always like a it like that cheap. So the
review on the Suzuki, they've texted back the person that's
got the Suzuki, good car, no problems, great shape, all
the mod cons and a good price. There we go.
That's the person of driving home to Wakawai. T get
in touch Marcus till twelve. Oh, have you ever seen

(01:56:29):
the videos Indians using an old set up making basketballs
and cricket balls. I've watched so many I've watched so
many videos of food stools in India, and I can't
get over how much car tooting there is. And I

(01:56:51):
watched so many videos of manufacturing in India, whether it
be basketballs or giant foundries with casting. It's extraordinary. Yeah wow.
I mean, obviously you watch a lot of those videos

(01:57:12):
and you worry about health and safety because they seem
to be in sandals and they're carrying around giant blobs
of molten metal. But to fascinating insight and those food stores,
but a lot of those food stores have milk, a
lot of them have involved they're always the other thing
that amazes me about those food stores in India they

(01:57:38):
always seem to serve drinks from those tiny bottles of coke.
They've got no post bits or anything, have they, So
I suppose you can't store it if you've got a
street store. They're always sort of opening giant bottles of
coke then putting that with other stuff. We'll not giant bottles,
small bottles of coke always seems a bit quaint. Anyway,
that's it for me. How you're going people? Twenty seven

(01:57:58):
past eleven market. I can't work out why the night's
flowing by. Marc has spent the evening planning an ultimate
month long South Island camping road trip to Seba January.
Just have to save the money. Now, we'll give the
West Coast a wave. We'll give the West Coast wave
as I passed your place, don't worry, won't stop. Marcus

(01:58:23):
Mexico has banned sparing and killing of bulls in and
after bullfighting. Not sure how long will last year. I
read they were going to make it safe for I
meant to go back and look at that. They're having
robot bulls. Marcus Mexico has beenned sparing and king of
bulls in and after bullfighting. Not sure how long it'll lasts.

(01:58:44):
With bull fighting supporters pushing back on the national sport.
At least they got ahead of safe who can't and
won't kill rodeo in New Zealand because the lifestyle people
have chosen just like bullfighting. Yeah, I don't know about that.
I don't know if Rodeo's will be around in fifty years.
They don't have to worry about the footy gear. Now

(01:59:06):
we can sort them with that, and we don't have
to worry about Josticks. All down to Luxei boy, a
true wheeler dealer. Someone said it's called buttered chicken, not
marjorine chicken. Very good point, very good point. Thank you
for that. And they could buy all of our they

(01:59:27):
could buy all of our sheep. A lot of goats
in the hills. I've noticed lately too, Marcus. I was
nine when JFK was shot. It was late morning on
a Saturday. I knocked on the neighbor's door to play
with my friend. The mother answered door. She told me
she heard on the radio the president of the United
States would have been shot, and I should remember that
date could be important day in history. Was on ZB

(01:59:54):
could well have been Saturday morning. Well, I still reckon.
They shouldn't have told people at the wedding take the
whole focus off the bride, groom, groom. I'm not what
you haven't managed to change the rodeo in Mexico. It's

(02:00:15):
going to be a cruel, not the rodeo, the bull fighting.
But yeah, there'll be a robot bill before long. I
can guarantee it.
