Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be a seven yous in and welcome to the
Friday Free for All. I hope it is good where
you are. If it's not good, I hope it gets
better than the remaining four hours, three hours, forty fifty
two minutes. Marcus still twelve tonight, Jim stand long from
twelve Friday Free for All. Anything goes, oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and didn't they come already? Wow?

(00:36):
Get in touch, Get in touch with few things to
mop up tonight. A few things we need, cans should
we'll talk about and back at you. There's something you Oh,
by the way, too cold players on tonight? Right? And
if you've gotten news about traffic or craziness with people
getting there, let me know about that. I don't overly

(00:56):
focus on things that happen in Auckland, because I try
and spread the topics right around the country. However, you
need to know that there is one hundred and seventy
one thousand people going to that event. That is huge.
That's a lot of people going to one thing. So
we will do our best to make that happen. For people,

(01:17):
So we've got any updates with what's happening as far
as traffic and whatever. Let us know. I think the
weather's not great, so let me know about that. Eight
hundred and eighty today, the nine two nine two text
don't buy the champagne was thirty bucks for two centimeters.
I would preload, And when I say pre load, don't
preload like a teenager, but get yourself get well. I

(01:40):
don't know how and preload how you preload, but I
wouldn't be paying champagne in there because you have to
queue and it wouldn't be great shakes anyway. So there's that.
So we'll be covering people going to the concert, people
leaving the concert. My suggestions for you, although this is
probably too late because you might already be on your
way there, don't park too close you'll never get out.

(02:04):
And for people parking in people's front lawns, sixty five dollars.
I always thought it was a fiver, but your book
online to park in someone's front yard seems excessive, isn't it.
Mind of those people with front yards would be better

(02:24):
off hiring buses and actually running a shuttle. Would I'd
be doing? But if I were you going to that.
What you do is you go on a limes and
they still called limes scooters. You take one of those
and when you get near the hide it in the bush,
although it might pick them up on the GPS, and
then it'll be ready for you. Because I knew someone

(02:45):
that went, I had to walk for an hour before
you get into range to get an uber. I don't
know if you could pre arrange an uber. But there
you go. That is there? That is cold play tonight.
That's one of my topics after half past ten will
be helping people get home with traffic reports and aluts.
If you are going, you are supposed to return your bracelet. Yeah,

(03:09):
there we go. That is that covered. Get in touch.
My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine nine two to text. The other thing, well,
I just put that out there too, and I don't
know if there's been much talk back about that today.

(03:29):
I've been certainly away from the radio, away from the
AM frequency, doing all sorts of stuff. But I haven't
read the articles, because why would I have read the
headline about someone that filmed a couple being intimate on

(03:51):
a golf course because she thought they might have been
having an affair. Unbelievable, Karen, stay in your lane, might
have been cheating? Jogger explains why she filmed golf course
sex rompt what's worse to me talking about it, the

(04:13):
paper printing it. Well, I know what's worse her filming it, actually,
but unbelievable, stay in your Was it any of your business? No?
Was it anything to do with you? No? Keep walking

(04:34):
pretty straightforward, Pretty straightforward. However, every time I am in
christ Jewarich, I do see that building where that couple
one evening had a a what would be the euphemism

(04:59):
for it, enacted on a workplace romance within the office,
and everyone in the bar across was watching that. Well,
it was terrible good. I mean, that was unrecoverable. They
left the company, and they left the company and they
left the country. You're gonna be careful with social media,
but still it doesn't help to film something and then
post it on Facebook. Apparently this is from me not

(05:22):
having read the article. I'm just assuming that's what happening.
I think words jumped out at me, which I was
terrified by. So there's that. Also, when's it right to
film something? Never I think the only time it's right
to film something is you're filming it, perhaps because it
might be evidence that the police could use PEPs if

(05:44):
you were seeing a crime, well, I guess you are
seeing a crime committed there, but then you don't put
it on Facebook for goodness, say that ruined lot anyway.
I just yeah, I'm unbelieving about that. You might have
a comed dob eight one hundred and eighty nine. Keep
those texts coming through. But if everything tonight is the
Friday free for also with you till twelve, looking forward

(06:05):
to your contributions tonight after what's been a very busy
week of talk back to so get in touch. But
certainly I will help you if you are coming up
to Auckland four Coldplay tomorrow and you've got questions about
where to park, where to stay, how to get there,
how to get home whenever, bite to wheat, you're only
too happy to ask the audience and we will work

(06:34):
out what that is for you. So yeah, if you've
got questions, I'll wait one hundred and eighty Taddy and
nine nine two to text Marcus Still twelve. Someone said
that audience size over two nights. Don't quite know what
you mean by that? Could you please re send that
text and explain what you mean. There's fifty seven thousand

(07:00):
people eating park. That's apparently the size of the crowd,
and that's over three nights, so there'd be times fifty
thousand by three that's over one hundred and fifty thousand people.
What was amazing. There's three thousand staff there. I'm not
even sure where they're going to park anyway, Marcus. I

(07:20):
believe the word you're looking for is a tryst. That'd
be a good word for word or tryst no vowels, Marcus.
How much revenue would the Coldplay concert be bringing in? Well,
how much of tickets would they be? Two hundred? Would
you go one hundred and fifty thousand by two hundred?
It's a lot, thirty million, it's a lot of money.

(07:44):
Wouldn't be cheap to put on? What would the average
ticket price be? Don't ask me. I'm not going and
I'm not saying that jeerlish leagues, I wouldn't want to go,
but you know, I'm not saying I'm too big for it.
So tild dollars a ticket that's thirty million. Some will
be paying a lot more with sort of banquet packages.

(08:06):
Some will be playing less and I think in Sydney
there was one concert there was ninety million dollars worth
of like flow on benefits for the city. Marcus went
to christ Church today Launma racing five laps and of
six one more turned over drive lots. I've actually I've

(08:28):
actually raced lawners before. I've done that at Motoda with
those roller mowers. It was big, kind of in the nineties.
I was down there filming a TV story. Quite fun.
But it's good to see that's back. Interesting. Oh, someone

(08:49):
says interest has no vowel speller again, what does that mean?
I'm want to say the texts. Can you understand what
that means? Oh, it's tryst, not in trist tryst.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Cheap.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I have read the article about the woman that speksavors
has flying to see the aurora, the Aurora borealis because
she thought you'd seeing the Aurora borealis, but actually she'd
seen a tomato farm. But the number of times I've
read that article, I still can't understand what she was seeing.
You know, all the lines are fresh to want to
get the old chin wagging tonight. A lot of good

(09:30):
texts coming through already, Marcus, can you play your theme
music and full Peter?

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I can? Well, I no, why not? But it says
I am your lady. It's just there to set the mood,
not to say I am your lady. Get in touch, Bax.
Till twelve, anyone tried to whiten their teeth, so I

(09:58):
wouldn't mind talking about tonight. I don't know why teeth
whitening I was going to go through with it. Seems
a weird thing to say, wasn't it? And I thought,
one am I even had a mold of my teeth done.
Why would I be bothering with that? Because them people said,
what you do, have your teeth whitened, it becomes sensitive

(10:22):
to air and stuff. I thought, I'm not going to
have that. Rather have teeth that's slightly off white. Anyway,
I thought that was interesting, Marcus. Thirty million plus all
the food and beverage spending at Eden Park, so good
for those in the hospitality, especially playing thirty dollars for
two centimeters of champagne. So yes, chuck teeth whitening into

(10:44):
the mix. Also tonight, eighteen past eight, eight hundred and
eighty eight, there is this flight from Queenstown Airport or
two Queenstown Airport that was on the news. If anyone's
got more information about that. I'm surprisedly strong winds at
Queenstown because hasn't been overly strong winds down and Bluff

(11:04):
For the last two or three days. Most of the
talk and Bluff has been about the tsunami, and Bluffer
is particularly prone to those I meet you that last night.
I just wonder how many families out there are having
tsunami drills, because what you're supposed to do. I only
realized last time we talked about tsunamis if you do

(11:26):
have them, or if you do get one right and
you get the text on your phone, which is I
imagine what we're going to get these days. What you're
supposed to do is walk to higher ground, not drive.
Walk because otherwise there'd be a holet of cars getting

(11:50):
to the top of the hill. So I thought that
was pretty interesting, But they reckon it Bluff. Every two
and a half thousand years there's a tsunami which could
between eight and twelve meters high. Well, most of the
town would be beneath that high, So yeah, I just
think it's probably worth while having a tsunami discussion. I

(12:13):
just want to know what you guys are doing about it.
If you're going to leave the keys in the car
when you go to sleep, say and get it in
a hurry before you drive up the hill. Anyway, that's
enough for me. If you want to get the whole
ball rolling tonight, there's enough there for you to get
going around on Marcus that this is a good text day.
Thank you for this. This is someone on the spot.
Nothing landed in z qween at last few hours at

(12:34):
least six aircraft diverted. And the marathon must be tomorrow morning.
I guess I'll check on that. It's quite a big one,
the Queenstown Marathon. You always see a few people in
the cargo walking awkwardly the weekend after easy to say
you're get toto a marathon, but then becomes quite difficult
to train for it. I think Saturday, sixteenth November. Yep,

(12:59):
that's tomorrow. And they go in under prepared and they
hobble around. It looks like from the map it goes
around the golf course. I don't fully know where it goes.
Be pretty spectacular, JD. It's Marcus, welcome, good evening, can

(13:20):
I Jed?

Speaker 5 (13:23):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I am very good? Thank you, Jed.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
Just letting you know what as Zoo Auckland is left there.
It was going to try and stay tonight that all
the accommodations through the roof and left the city at
three o'clock. Took me an hour and a half to
get out to or Drury or Papakura at twenty k
and it's the same in both directions and it's raining.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Wow. Were you up there for a reason or do
you work there? You went up there for Coldplay? Were you?

Speaker 7 (13:56):
No?

Speaker 6 (13:56):
No, No, just went up there to do a couple
of jobs and thought I'll kick around for the night.
But that's just it's exceptionally busy. I've been up there
for a couple of years, so maybe I'm missing how
busy it's getting.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think. I think when you've got one hundred and
seventy thousand people over three nights, that's kind of a
world record for accommodation for Auckland when that's huge. So
you did you What were they charging for accommodation?

Speaker 6 (14:26):
I stayed out on the Great South Road at two
fifty at night.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, that's reasonable, yea.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
It was all right, but that's you know, it's probably
normally one fifteen, so.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's like it seems to be about a fifty percent premium. Yeah, okay,
and I think jet According to the New Zealand Herald, right,
Brian Tamackee and Destiny's Church are heading towards Auckland because
they're having a big protest about people flying the wrong flags.

(15:02):
Oh yeah, so that's sort of the tru I don't
know what didn't it could be By reading it, I
think that was the whole point of it. I thought, well,
I'm going to stay well clear of that. I think
it's just the approved flag at like places like the museum,
not the Palestine flag or not the the Maori independence
flag or anything like that. That was my understanding.

Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah, although they're getting pretty weete of the states last
day or so.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, okay, how are you going to drive? How are
you going to drive?

Speaker 5 (15:32):
Jed a couple more hours?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
You haven't had Auckland damaged your spirits?

Speaker 8 (15:38):
Have you?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
You sound of it down on it? Oh?

Speaker 6 (15:45):
No, it depends what of Aucklands you go to, doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (15:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Do you waste a lot of time and traffic out there?
I can assure you you.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Put a line under that jet. You could put a
line under that. Although I was reading about because Simeon
Simeon Brown was opening that north of the the Eastern
Expressway bus. But actually it wasn't the whole thing. I
thought that was done. Cricket was just the terminal. What
chanle is football on?

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Den? What's that?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I haven't got that? Oh goodness that I'm up and
down there, I'm up and down the remote like yo, yo, Ross,
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, it's just I can't understand why New Zealand are
playing tonight, but there's nothing on TV anyway, So do
you know anything? Why you know it's a national game?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Hang on, you've got what you've got to say. Ross,
You've got to say this is a bit of an
own goal by New Zealand football to not broadcast that.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Sorry mate, And.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's crazy you just put that on the TV.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
On what? What's patient? I can't get it?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Where is it? Dan? What have you got to play
for it?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Do you?

Speaker 6 (17:08):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Hang on, I'm talking to my producer of my Ross.
It's on something. No, No, don't apologize, it's I mean,
he's desperate to be miked up. But is it do
you pay for FEEFA Plus. Dan, You've got to pay
for FIFA Plus.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Ross, you talk me?

Speaker 10 (17:24):
Now?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Is your name Colin? Is your name Ross?

Speaker 4 (17:27):
I'm Ross?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah? Who's Colin.

Speaker 11 (17:31):
Ross?

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (17:33):
There's a station. Do you know what Netflix is?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Mate? Do you know what Netflix is?

Speaker 9 (17:42):
No?

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (17:43):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I do?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yes, Okay, Well there's a there's a there is a
a online channel you can subscribe to called FIFA Plus
and that will play the games for you.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Oh my god. Yeah, but you know why is it
not on National or Sky or something like that.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I would imagine this is all to do with the
mop up with you. There was Spark Sports that tried
to buy up all the rights for long terms and
then they collapsed, and I'm sure they've just tried to
work out where the games can be.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Marc. It's a national game. It shouldn't that you should
have to go through all this bloody rubbish.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
But I'm hearing it on.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
TV something or Sky one or two or three or
whatever for Sky.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
For you should have to bring talk back to fight
for your rights just to watch the national game. Yeah,
you've got a neighbor or you got a pub you
can go to.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I'm a I'm an atheist. No, I shouldn't have to
do that, you know.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Should You've paid paid, so you've paid take Texas your
whole life.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yes, yes, I'm a good guy.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
All you want to do is you want is Chris
Wood playing? Hey, it scored two goals, so we should
be watching that.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
I know, mate, I listened to the radio and every Now.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Let's face it, sport on the radio is rubbish. Yes,
oh it's good exciting to hear the background noise and stuff,
but it's not like watching it on TV.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah no, I'm just so disappointed.

Speaker 9 (19:20):
You know.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
As I say, I love my sport. I'm not a
soccer person, but when New Zealand's playing any game, I
don't care what it is. I'm into it. I want
to watch it and I want to watch Woods today
or night. You know, how do how do he go?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, he's got two goals, he's for football, he's
past old Winton.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yes, yeah, so you know I want to watch that,
but I don't have the bloody want to pay for
the damn thing or go on stupid bloody programs which
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
That sounds interesting. What are the stupid bloody programs? You
don't understand you talk about mold. You talk about MOLDI TV.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Yeah, Ross, Can I have one other complain? Yep? Okay.
Why does the newspaper it used to be on Mondays
have all the results of all of English soccer New
Zealand's rugby trouts of who's winning what and they'll cut

(20:23):
it all out there? Can you understand that?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Crazy?

Speaker 11 (20:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I can't, But thank you. Any TV programs I can't understand?
Is it what he sees? I think he did?

Speaker 13 (20:33):
John, Hey, you can actually Caro, you can watch it
on down on the paper. Plus you can watch it
rug on your phone. Five. No, it's that's here on
your phone.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
How much is it?

Speaker 13 (20:47):
Nothing? That's free? And you actually watched a lot of
the local games?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Hang on there, John, just going Ross. Have you got
a cell phone like an iPhone?

Speaker 5 (20:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:59):
What sort of phone you got?

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Home? Blown?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Home phone? What's that like a land we call that
you got land line?

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Landline?

Speaker 12 (21:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, now John, he's only got a landline. Oh bugger,
Yeah much hope.

Speaker 13 (21:13):
I'm turning down the garage. Why it's watching murder porn
on TV. So I'm just saying, yeah, here watching the
garage by myself.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
What's she watching?

Speaker 13 (21:21):
I don't know British.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think there's a special channel. Now that's all just
British murder shows.

Speaker 13 (21:29):
Is that what you do to Yeah, I'm just watching
out for the break fluid and all the other stuff
that you go up there and you go, oh, okay,
watch up that stuff. Hadn't they Andy bruize all that stuff?
So the garage? And I just watched sport on TV
and on phone and listening to Marcus. But what's the

(21:50):
end of it?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
What's the anti free stuff? Is that what they're using
the crime channel?

Speaker 13 (21:54):
Yeah, you can't. You can't trace it. It's like mushrooms
in Australia.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
So you make you force them to drink it?

Speaker 13 (22:05):
No, you stopping into them? Oh god, the cops are
on to me now, okay.

Speaker 14 (22:11):
Got to go.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I reckon right When someone rings talk back and says
they're in their garage, what that normally means? You can
picture their garage, can't you. He's got a couch and
it's got a fridge, and it's got a fridge full
of beer. And it tends to be what happens with

(22:35):
couples over time. They're up in their garage with the
beer fridge works probably quite well. I'm not going to
drink drive on the way home, but I reckon that's
when most people say they're in their garage. They're not.
They're making cookoo clocks, are they? He's watching football on
his phone and on the beer skis good on them? Anyway?

(22:55):
How's Coldplay going? Peter Good? Evening?

Speaker 8 (23:01):
Grieving Marcus. I like to say, these people who mon
have grown about they can't get various singers on TV
and what have you. I paid ninety five dollars and
ninety nine cents for Sky Television and that were said
to be twenty two dollars and twenty one cents a week.
That's cheap entertainment a week. You get what you want

(23:22):
in my case is sport and the odd bloody Crime
Channel and other BIPs and bobs that I like to
to watch, racing and what have you.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
You know, it's three dollars a day, three dollars a day.

Speaker 8 (23:37):
Well whatever, yeah, and it is and to me personally,
it's a choice, and in my opinion it's cheap cheap TV.
In my opinion, I'd like.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
The channels to be numbed more conveniently. What are the
great gaps and just go one, two, three, four, five
right up to like Sport at thirty.

Speaker 8 (24:00):
They used to do it. They used to do it
way back and say, early two thousand and twenty ten,
and then they altered in August. They added various channels.
They added, Okay, the crime channel has been there seventy
one eighteen, Investigation Discovery.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
I watched that a.

Speaker 8 (24:19):
Bit, and you know, okay, yes, I do agree with
And then they've got channels in the hundreds like four
oh two, which I can't get anyway, I don't choose
to get it. But no, in the movie I think
the movies are in their thirties, thirties or thirty six.

(24:41):
Somebody whill correct me.

Speaker 9 (24:42):
On that, can you.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I've got a lot of questions about Skytiev and you
might be the guy who asked them to Peter. This
might be the thing for the first part of the show, right, Okay.
Sometimes I go through the channels and I can see
the movies.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
I think November this, if you got sport, November is free.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
What did they tell me that?

Speaker 8 (25:11):
I've got an email in October just at the label weekend.
Really from November one to November.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Thirty and can you record them?

Speaker 8 (25:25):
Well, I don't have I've got a video, but I
don't bother recording them.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
No, but on your skybox or whatever.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
I'll pass on that. Somebody all about to help you
out there. Somebody's somebody will have the answer out there
on the last The.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Last email I had them was in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
I get an email every okay every month to pay,
and then I'll get an email with every three months
to say what's coming up and what you've got free?
Because I've got sport.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I thought someone had surreptitiously subscribed to movies. Okay, I
had no idea about that. Okay, can you tell me
next time, Peter, how old are you going to be
around for a while?

Speaker 8 (26:09):
I'm seventy one.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Oh yeah, you'll be around for a while. Next time
they do that, Next time they do that, could you
ring me and let me know?

Speaker 8 (26:16):
Certainly will, certainly will because.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Of all sorts of movies I can catch up on now, well, the.

Speaker 8 (26:22):
A you can go home at midnight and watch it
over a cup of Milo.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
All nov in the movies are free.

Speaker 8 (26:29):
Yep, That's what I've been told. And I only feeing
out through the email I got and we made over
the road. Who's my neighbor?

Yes, correct, just down the road, twelve hundred meters of
the raceway.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
No, you're not too many limes goooters dumped outside your house? Nope, straighten.
Oh Barrington Park, Yeah, I'm looking at that now.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Okay, Bearington Park's about eight hundred meters away from where
I live.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Was that in the Calm Games that they have something
at Barrington Park? I remember that from something.

Speaker 8 (28:20):
I'll pass on that note. Oh no, it's only cricket
ground and rugby League.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Get back to your movies. Pedoff enjoyed that greatly. Adrian Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 15 (28:29):
Hello Marcus. Look two things quickly. I won't keep you
on your last night's program, and I know not meant
to mention last night, but there were two things that
came up that you weren't sure of. One was a
story about the Children's Request Session. Having listening to them

(28:49):
way back, you know, I listened to them in nineteen
fifty four when I was about ten, and one of
them was the story that you mentioned about a Palomino,
and that was the story of the Golden Palomino and
a little Mexican boy who was rescued by the Golden
Pallormigo and he used to sing the song Amigo Amigo.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
That was a very.

Speaker 15 (29:15):
Popular story that we listened to the little Phillips radio.
The white one. We used to sit around and listen
to it. And the other one was somebody mentioned on
Daisy and un Days. He did the cooking show way
back then as well, and her real name was Maude Basham.

(29:39):
And I will finish there, but I must compliment you
on the way you handled the man with the motor
missing out of a that he bought, and you turned
that around beautifully and you finished up one of one
of his mates, I would say. And I must say, Marcus,
that was perfect and golly, you did that so well.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Really appreciate that. Thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
To Adrian.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I almost feel this too much. Sport. I've got it's
free to get the football up. Dan's got it up
for me five to one us in lead Vanawa two.
A good that they got a goal that will keep them,
make them feel good. But it's a good crowd there
raining very heavily, extremely heavily. But you just go to
FIFA Plus and you can download it. I think Dan,

(30:26):
although I don't know that Ross would have had a
computer because when I asked him he had a phone,
he said, I hate what sort of phone you? He said,
I have a home phone, So I don't think he's
going to have a computer or an iPhone. Six to
thirty minutes left to go in the set's called that
half an hour. So yeah, I'll tell you what. I
think all sport will end up online because it works

(30:48):
quite well. Oh there's that guy singing that went to Europe.
He's coming on. Oh, I know some of the names.
Some of the faces looks like they might be thirty
grand there gosh for that and Cold Plate. It's all
happening in the north of the North Island. Would you
call Wakato North of the North would be above half
Marcus Coldplay are letting rip three kilometers away from Eden

(31:12):
Park on the EPSOM Newmarket boundary. And can hear all
those songs you hear over the phone when you're waiting
on hold? It's a pretty good description. Oh no, that's
just one stand that's got people in the other two
stands are a bit emptyish. Sky always emailing me. Yes,
there's free movies for the month and I've record I'm
recording them as they have my sky. I had no idea. Gosh.

(31:38):
I try and encourage the kids to watch kind of
TV that you watch when it's on. They've got no idea.
They try to fast forward the commercials so we might
score again here on a good looking pitch. Get in
touch if you've got anything to say. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine. Text not all the texts
I'm understanding. Some of the texts get a bit loose.

(32:00):
On a Friday, crosswinds Queenstown Airport. That's why we need
an airport at Terrace. Don't disagree. So there we go.
Slight drizzle in Auckland, but the PLB wingding in their
way home from Coldplay, no doubt. We'll have reports from

(32:20):
that also tonight. And also people heading down to Hamilton
for the football heading back from that too, fairly good crowd.
There also fifteen minutes left to go in that match.
If you want to talk on air tonight, get in touch.
By name is Marcus welcome. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine. There is the boxing tomorrow, trouble
with that's free on Netflix. That's Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul,

(32:47):
which I'm not quite sure if it's sport or not,
but certainly it's of interest to people. The trouble with
boxing on TV you never quite know what time the
main event's going to start, so I don't really know
the mind the situation there. But that's happening tomorrow. Also,
we've got the football on Sunday morning and it's Marcus

(33:09):
welcome hell and good.

Speaker 16 (33:10):
Evening, good evening, Yeah, it'd be good, Hellen. Where do
you go big bike race on tomorrow?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Okay, I'm all he is, Yeah.

Speaker 16 (33:20):
On the link to the Wilderness Trial one hundred and
thirty three k.

Speaker 9 (33:26):
From from Ross through to gray Mere.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Okay, I have done that, and.

Speaker 16 (33:36):
There's that some some people start and Ross, others start
and hokiticker other it's one hundred k from Hakitecker. Others
start up at Cowboy Pairadise and others start at Camara
and it's I'm not sure howf is from Cawboy Pairadise

(33:58):
it's about eighty k and Tomara tomorrow's twenty eight k.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Okay, hey, okay. A question from mediu Ellen. I thought
some of the bridges had collapsed on the ross to
Hooker Ticcker section.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Much some of the the Mahonnah pooh Bridge is probably flooded. Okay,
water over the boardwalk, but it's probably go down the
road down side of the Mahonnah pooh r.

Speaker 16 (34:42):
It's still on. I'd think, are you doing so?

Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm not.

Speaker 16 (34:47):
I'm not one hundred percent sure on that set that
part of it.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Are you competing in it?

Speaker 16 (34:56):
I'm eighty year old.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Oh you, I'll tell you what I have. It's a
fantastic bike track. That track, I mean, there's some beauty
that you come out of hokit ticker and you go
and land and there's a part of it that goes
besides the water race. It's spectacular.

Speaker 16 (35:14):
Yeah, it isn't fall in.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, you wouldn't fall him. I can imagine. I can imagine.
I can imagine in the day, plenty of people would
have tried to kind of swim their way down there
and had an exciting time with it.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yes, there's a couple fellow falling off along that they
lost the concentration. It's all you got to do is
follow the front wheel.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Very good ellen, good luck with all that. Are you
a Marshall or something on it?

Speaker 16 (35:41):
I would think so. Yes, I think they would be.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
But are you one of them? Do you work on it?

Speaker 16 (35:48):
No, I'm not, okay, you ride down.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I checked part of the tracks in the morning, a
bit from Graymiu, the hak ticker down to Camara, I mean,
but other than that, no, okay.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Nice to hear from you. Ellen. By the way, the
golf course story has made the Daily Mail. No surprise
is there. That's pretty to them. That's pretty much the
that's pretty much central for them. Ticks all the boxes,
Gary Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
Yeah, home, mate, it's got an idea and see just
to see what you think. I Yeah, the last weekend,
I had some old furniture and I just thought, I
don't want to throw it at the rubbish bind or
dumpster or whatever. But I thought it's probably useful for
someone who wanted to do it up. So I put
it outside the front of my house. And then a

(36:41):
neighbor saw me doing it. He put something outside the
front of his house, and another neighbor came out with
a table, and I thought, oh, this is like we're
bringing it like well, I call it bringing out the dead.
You know, you're kind of just bring it out. Yeah,
and you bring it out and you put on the side,
and then literally by the end of the day, you know,
the guy guy rocked up and he says, mate, you

(37:02):
know they had a few teeth missing, but he saw it.
But he just said, hey, you know, I know someone
who wants that you bring up this person and he
was talking to them, said you want the set of
draws and like that, and the next thing is.

Speaker 11 (37:13):
In the van.

Speaker 10 (37:14):
It went and off they went, and I thought, we
throw too much stuff away. That's probably a lot of
people don't want to have, you know, they don't want
to sell a set of draws of five bucks and
have a whole lot of people come around to the
house and all the rest of it, but they wouldn't
mind throwing it outside. Now, we used to have the
good old classic inorganic. We'd throw it in house out
and then it would you know, half of it would

(37:36):
go because people come and naturally recycle it, take it away.
The scrappings would come around and take it. And I
was just thinking, I'd like to see what you think
about this, because whether or not you had like once
or twice a year, maybe on daylight Saving weekend when
everybody's kind of cleaning out stuff that type of thing,
and you say, that's it bringing out your dead, and
everybody brings it all out and puts it on the roadside.

(37:57):
I know from history that crime stats when there was
inorganic collections, the crime didn't go up. It was because constant.
So I don't think that's kind of that's the only
kind of negative. I thoughts people might think a whole
of people driving around will just come around and pinch
shit anyway. You know, I'm just interested in your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Okay, I got a lot of thoughts. I've got a
lot of thoughts. What I would imagine that your system
would work would all depend on the fact that a
lot of people don't know what is You see, if
you check a whole of stuff out on the side
of the road, right yep, and no one wants it,

(38:44):
then what happens because people aren't going to bring it
back inside, are they?

Speaker 12 (38:49):
Well?

Speaker 10 (38:49):
That was I suppose that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Is that you have to and then you just have
junk blowing down the road and you because someone think, okay,
I mean you'd have a boogie old kind of chest
of drawers, but someone else might just have an old
queener barbecue and there's thousands of those at the organic
that's shot and it's kind of rotted, and that might
just sit there and no one wants those because there're
a dime a dozen, and that sits there for a

(39:11):
week and then the dogs get into it. Then it
blows down the road and then your street looks like
a bomb site and the residents start complaining, ringing the council,
and it's to hell in a hand card.

Speaker 10 (39:24):
I was thinking more of the positive side, but oh no.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
No, yeah, well you'd almost need to have you've got
to take something up for twelve hours then bring it
back in.

Speaker 10 (39:35):
Yes, So therefore that would be the thing. Is there
journey be able to have it out for that day? Yeah,
and then if it didn't really cared, to bring it
back in.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And then who polices that to make sure they do
bring it back in.

Speaker 10 (39:47):
Well that's the next problem is because basically most people
will go, yeah, okay, it didn't get for it. You know,
someone want rusty barbecue, and but I'll just kind of
wheel it down the road.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah, And because dumping stuff's expensive. Now it's fifty bucks
or stuff, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (40:02):
Oh, it's even more expensive, and it gets it gets
ridiculous to try. And that's why people now just well,
I know someone who cut up a couch. I was
able to get the whole couch and the dumpsterbin.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's a legend. They put their they put their couch
in their WHEELI bin. Yeah, that's fantastic.

Speaker 10 (40:25):
Cut it all up into bits and the end thing.
But anyway, well, I.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Mean, because I love the thrill of the inorganic. We
don't get them down South, it's too windy. But when
I've lived in places in the organics, I love it
to pieces. So that's a great thing people and people
do throw a lot of stuff away now because stuff
is a lot more available. So yeah, I just don't
I just think if that worked, it would work, right.

Speaker 10 (40:48):
It might it might not, because if I just think,
probably there's a whole bunch of people that are just
lazy and would just not give a hoot and just
throw it out on the side and just make place
with me. You're probably right, yeah, okay, But but I.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Don't want to. I don't want to. I mean, every
idea is good, I don't want to. I don't want
to blow. You want to burst your bubble?

Speaker 10 (41:09):
You know how you go through your kitchen and sometimes
you look at you go, what's in the back of
this covedy, Oh my goodness, We've never used all this stuff,
and you pull it out and get rid of it.
No one actually knows that it's missing if you'd throw away.
There's that type of stuff that you need to get
rid of, isn't it, because you just get cluttered up with.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Well it's weird too because things like waffle makers and
toasted sandwich makers that used to put it put it
a garage sale. They're kind of worth nothing. Now you
can't give them away because every like k marts mean
that everything's too affordable, So there's kind of a missing step.
There's no demand for that stuff.

Speaker 10 (41:43):
That's right, because you can get you go and buy
like a like you said, you go to Camot sort
of stuff. It's ridiculously good price. We bought a we
bought a do we get air fryer? I had a
really fancy Phillips one. It was worth like five hundred dollars.
Pector said, we're going in god to one. I said, oh,
we're going to buy one of these eighty dollars ones
from the kmart.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Do you know what better better?

Speaker 16 (42:06):
Said Gary?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Should have said, Marcus, you think it was better or worse?

Speaker 10 (42:11):
Yes, yeah, well I'll tell you what it was.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
It was better.

Speaker 10 (42:14):
We chucked a dishwasher and the cleans itself perfect, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
What area living, Gary? Are you in, Aucklander?

Speaker 10 (42:21):
Yeah, I'm Aukander, Yeah, living Buck from speech ship.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I can tell where people are from by what they
talk about and what I can almost tell what I
could visualize your suburb, Gary, Gary's got a really good
point about that, how we get rid of old stuff
because we've got too much stuff. But also the situation
like clothes. A lot of people have too many clothes,
but they just dump them outside your church shops. You

(42:44):
send vinie and stuff, and then they get overwhelmed by
it all. So you got quite smart with stuff. I
think it's okay to put stuff on your front yard
occasion and say free, but you can't do it too
much because the neighbors hate it. So I don't know
what the solution is. I think the organics worked well,
but they were too expensive and they were chaotic, and
people put out too much stuff and then they get
picked up. And I don't even know what to say

(43:06):
about that. But yeah, where do you get rid of
stuff you don't want. What I think is good now
is people have become more generous with stuff they don't want.
They realize there's no money for your old toolboys and
stuff you're Brian toolboys. They just check it on the
side of the road or say free. People don't want
money for it now because otherwise it's too expensive to
get which is a good thing for people, young people
starting homes and stuff. They can just chuck all that

(43:29):
stuff out and someone will take it. So, yeah, you
might want to comment on it's a good topic. Gary
beach Aven he's ol Beachlands was get those two suburbs confused,
But yes, it's expensive to get rid of stuff now,
and that's because the dumping fees are so expensive because

(43:50):
you've got to have them. You can't just chuck it
by the water side where they used to because of
erosion and global warming and stuff, all those sort of
they're going to cost us a fortune to get rid
of all those dump sites right beside the sea. We've
got a couple in south and we're causing the councils terra.
It's all about to wash away. Wash around to fiel Woodland.

(44:10):
I gave all that stuff away. On the local pay
it Forward page on Facebook, they always go, I don't
think we've got to pay it forward, Marcus. You mentioned
teeth whitening at the start of the show. Hopefully someone
calls them to talk about that. I've tried everything from
the chemists warehouse. Nothing seems to work. Fireweks in Chaost Church.
Question mark could well be I'll be cup week, Marcus.

(44:34):
We used to put our furniture out the front of
our house. That goes on fifteen minutes, sometimes even two minutes.
Small town things, anything goes Heimou what's that text mean, Marcus.
I'll be happy to pay a small feed of visits
senate location so long as my money was refenced for

(44:55):
doc Asset management. Associated rescue services would be complex to
collect though, and Freedom campers would gain the system. This
was occurring on the Freedom Campers would always game the system, Marcus.
Reporting from Saint Helie is a lovely evening, calm and
still lots of flashing light to the sky to west.

(45:17):
Must be Coldplay's light show. It'll be Coldplays light show.
What time they're coming out of Coldplay? Dan ten twenty.
I hope this car's toad and people bring. Oh it's outrage.
They'll be outraged about something we take unwanted stuff, clothing
appliances to the Sally Saint John's local Hospice, always grateful.

(45:40):
I'll tell you something, and I'm going to say it.
Here's a shout out to all those people that volunteer
at those shops, all of them, whether it be the hospice,
whether it be Saint John's, whether it be Africant, Saint Phinny's. Boy,

(46:07):
they're well run. Once upon a time they stank of
old clothes and mothballs. These days so smart, so well
laid out, such great staff, normally doing it for voluntary,
normally volunteering. Boy, oh boy, what a pleasure to go
in some of those shops are these days? What an
absolute pleasure. They must wash everything and it unbelievable. So yeah,

(46:31):
and they're every busy, the busiest shops in Vicago. The
second might attend in the secondhand shop, see the busiest shops,
huge numbers of people in there and seeming to really
enjoy it. But what an amazing I guess both of
them are retired people. Is that right? Very very good?

(46:56):
So I don't think enough enough thanks is given to
the I don't know if they're fun to work in.
I don't know if you get the first picks of stuff.
To get the first picks I made you to go
through the pockets and stuff. Would you good eating, Pam?
It's Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 17 (47:12):
I want to tell you about a sign I saw
once in a veniche shop. It was on the wall
behind the counter, and this is what it said. Our
workers are unpaid, not because they are worthless, but because
they are priceless.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
For goodness sake. What a great thing to write on
a wall. It's true, isn't it. And they've always got honestly,
and they've always got the most the greatest temperament in
the world.

Speaker 17 (47:45):
Yeah, and the happiest people.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah, I mind you. I suppose people aren't stealing stuff,
are they. They wouldn't really mind, would they. I mean, it's
not like it's it's not like it's a normal retail
when you've got to be a well maybe it is.
I guess I don't know actually about that, but yeah, always.

Speaker 13 (48:00):
Good fancy stealing from anything like from it it's.

Speaker 17 (48:06):
Like taking a womb off a blind hen.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
It's a good expression, is it? One of it is
that actually a common thing.

Speaker 17 (48:13):
No, it was a spine of my mother's saying.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Really, oh please God bless here. Can I use that? Then?
Yours taking the womb off a blind hen, Yeah, you
will do that. Have you ever heard anyone else say it?

Speaker 17 (48:31):
No, but I've often seen it because I think it's
cold too.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Oh that's mine. Yeah, I'll see if I can use
it tonight. Make it Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 7 (48:42):
Hello Marcus. I'm ringing up because I volunteer for the
Salvation Army.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Oh, thank thank you for your service.

Speaker 7 (48:49):
Oh no, I've been doing it for eleven years. I'm retired,
and I love it. I go twice a week for like,
you know, a couple of couple of days. But what
I wanted to say is, no, we don't get first
DIBs the things, We don't take electrical items. We don't
do it anymore. But please, please, please tell people to
stop dumping.

Speaker 13 (49:09):
Stuff outside the sir, terrible.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
We spend a fortune every day you go there and
people are dumping stuff. And if people leave donations outside
the store, then you get the you know, the night
rats come through and go through it.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
How do you stop that? How do you get that
message out you can't.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
But I've been there, like I say, eleven years. You
can't stop it. There's no way of stopping it apart
from like two hundred and forty volts probably you know,
through the skip or whatever.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
But you don't pick up clothing, do you.

Speaker 7 (49:46):
Yes, we were in the with a truck.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
We do.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
We collect or donation.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
So why so why do people dump? I can't work
it out.

Speaker 7 (49:56):
Because it's cheaper the dump it outside our store and
is to take to the refuge place.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
But I presume they're good clothes that they could jump
dump off on the date.

Speaker 7 (50:05):
No, I went over this morning, there's like a half
dozen rubbish bags full of dirty nappies.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Oh okay, okay, so people dump actual rubbish.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
People dump stuff, yes, and other people dump good stuff. Yeah,
that's crazy at the weekends. But then other people come
because they know it's there, and they go through it
and make such a mess. It's absolutely bonkers.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Really, if you had any joy by putting out cameras
to film number plates, would the police prosecute?

Speaker 12 (50:41):
No?

Speaker 7 (50:41):
It costs too much, doesn't it? And you're what you're
going to prosecute someone for, like stealing a pair of trousers.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
No, I mean prosecuting with someone for fly tipping. Isn't
that quite a big crime?

Speaker 7 (50:53):
Oh yeah, but Salvation Army doesn't want to do that
because they're nice people, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Yeah, okay, it's not good for your.

Speaker 7 (51:00):
Yeah, Christians, nothing to do with me. But it's like, no,
if it was up to me, I would, you know,
I mean, use.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Their possess, just atrocious to dump the vidiewhere as a crime.

Speaker 7 (51:11):
They were there this morning. I'll tell you what. I
had two or three bags of stinky and it smells
a viewine. It's like terrible, you know, terrible clothes. It's
like it's a funny old job in the morning. You
ask any Salvation Army store and they all get it.
They all get dumped at the weekends and during the week.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
So mainly it's people dumping clean sets of rubbish.

Speaker 7 (51:39):
No, I won't say clean sacks. Is clean sacks and
bad sacks.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Okay, good point.

Speaker 7 (51:43):
You know, And it costs a fortune. I absolutely don't
actually drive the truck, but we hadn't got a truck
driver this week, so I went to the rubbish dump
and it was it was one hundred and seventy dollars
to dump stuff that people had dumped outside the store.
So before you start making a profit to help people,
you're spending money for nothing.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Really, Yeah, that's the reality. Okay, make I really appreciate
you coming through with that. What do you what are you?

Speaker 7 (52:09):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Are you in Auckland knowing in christ Church?

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (52:13):
For goodness sake, that's a bad look for christ Church.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
Oh wait, it's all over christ Church. I'm sorry. It
comes to every store and it's like, yes, I know,
and it's been doing it. Like I said, I've been
I've been there eleven years and it's almost not every day,
but almost every day for eleven years, and people dump
stuff and take stuff. Okay, fascinating.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Yeah, okay, I appreciate you coming through. Met we'll talk more.
I've clicked a bed, but I've done a bad button
clicked in Okay, No that's good. Yeah, no it's not.
That's not good enough. I've riggedified the situation tonight. So tonight,
so far as all about getting rid of old stuff,
I'll finish things like that. What's a good way to
get rid of it? Things you don't want, I'll tell

(53:01):
you what is good The shops at the dump you gotta.
I don't know if you can drop stuff off at those,
but it's good to go and look at stuff. Although
although although the shop at our dump, he's a depressingly

(53:25):
large number of old kids bikes and a depressing number
of the tubs from washing machines and old gas bottles.
I don't know what the lootion is for all those

(53:46):
old kids bikes. I think I know what the solution is.
I think they need to make the bikes better and
easier to fix, because a lot of them just have
brakes and the cables break and stuff like that, and
they just need to be I don't know, someone needs
to make better quality bike that people look after, because

(54:08):
there's hundreds of them and it can't give the shops
any joy to sell those things that just gets thrown
out after six months. Anyway, in I found it a
little bit overpowering some of the rubbish at our dump shops.
I don't go this so often. A lot of old
plastic bowls anyway, So I talked about getting rid of stuff,

(54:33):
and I'd like to hear you talk about that. Marcus
Orkar rap Pass can book a council and organic collection
once a year for free strict cteria, strict criteria. We
can't put it on the boom. And they provide a
pamphlet of what you can put out very well run.
They take mattresses which is going to give you a
date and a rough time when to put the stuff out.

(54:54):
That's from Marion, Marcus. The dumping happens at the upp
hut sllies too filthy animals. It always makes the community page.
Oh my god, I can believe this. These animals you
pull on the community page. Of course, that will always
make the community page. That and fireworks and what is

(55:15):
the police helicopter doing overhead? And oh my god, I've
bought this single marketplace and I think it's just I
think it's a fraud. Marcus. We're in a drive back
home after not be on a land in Queenstown. They
tried to land and just pulled out. We head straight
back to Auckland. We are missing the marathon. So disappointed
after all the training. I'm disappointed for you too. You

(55:38):
think they could put the marathon on Sunday as well, wouldn't.
I suppose it's expensive with traffic management. You have to
run a marathon tomorrow. Just get out you're met my
walks or something and just run for forty two k's.
But that's heartbreaking. But I mean that because I know
I've never done a marathon. But yeah, it's a bit

(55:58):
of a broadcasting cliche running a marathon. I mean, I
don't mean that in a mean way. But you know,
now Lucky's doing one, so I'm not going to do one.
But I could imagine how much build up and excitement
there would be and top build it would be a
huge anti climax and imagine flights, tickets. It's going to
be a grand to do all that, so you're going
to be financially out of pocket. Also, marks from now

(56:20):
until Christmas, we can expect furniture on the side of
the road all over North Dunedin. Saw a post on
the community page where three deconstructed couches outside the hock
and Library this week. Marcus huge and here in Christy
people put furniture roun on the footpath. Most is rubbish.
CCC comes and takes it to the dump. That's why

(56:42):
rates are high. It's a huge issue in high rental areas.
Marcus can't believe the amount of noss and leafs with
no battery life has become like a throwaway item, just
two to three k's to buy one. They should change
the marathon date to Sunday or start the race later

(57:03):
in the day. Have run one hundred and six marathons, irony.
I suppose done the Queenstown half marathon the last two
years good event, did the aucroand half the year to
mix up. Should have just joined the protest Lowland saved money, Marcus.

(57:23):
I always wash clothes and clean shoes before I take
them to the charity shop. Things that aren't quite good
enough to go there. I put in the cancer bins
that I add in several places. I think they shred them.
But I think the hardest thing is where do you
put underwear that you are replacing doesn't fit either of

(57:44):
the above. Does anyone know a Viking funeral? Is it
for underwear? Someone makes a very good point, and maybe
someone could answer that, why don't the flights from Auckland
to Queenstown just get diverted to in Vacagol. I've been
on many flights that have been diverted to in Vacago.
Why don't they do that anymore? Wouldn't be that much

(58:07):
more petrol and the buses. I guess they can hire
buses fairly cheaply. It was probably one hundred dollars per
person to bust them up and bring it back down.
But you think that would be something they could do.
Could someone's answer the Earth are involved in aviation. I
guess now with the flights, maybe there's not the riggle
room there once was, or even donners Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (58:32):
Good evening, Marcus. I would have thought there's no certainly
no money in flying down to Queens Down. I need
to return to Aukland exactly.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
It's a really good point. It's a really good point.

Speaker 12 (58:45):
Yeah. I mean you could certainly get the passages closer,
you know, either of them or Frankton put a seven
three seven. I assume not land at Franklin they used to.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Oh sorry, I think, Dave. I think Franklin is where
the airport is.

Speaker 12 (59:01):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
But there used to be a really big airport at Alexandra, right,
and I've had flights that have been diverted to there before,
but they've closed it up and I can't quite work
out why, because it's only that's only an hour away.
That would have been a great place exactly.

Speaker 12 (59:23):
Certainly, you know, it seems content to return to walk.
Goodness me. Now, I've always wondered. I've always wondered why
people pay to do an arranged run.

Speaker 9 (59:34):
What is it?

Speaker 12 (59:35):
Is it something to do with being around other runners
or I think I.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Think I think it's that. I think if you're around
others you don't tap out. It's the sense of shame
that would be the psychology of it within. You know
you're not going to get Come on there, Dave, come on,
you've got another.

Speaker 16 (59:50):
K and you yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 12 (59:52):
I always I'm keen walking and I could walk for
you know, miles. But I'm seeing along the lines that
they get hundreds of people, say the New York Run
or parathon, and they paid to do it, which I
certainly would not pay. I mean I could walk and
run or do my thing anytime, you know what I mean.

(01:00:14):
It must be some attraction there that I just don't
get and I never have, you know what I mean,
Like go out and do it. I mean, you've done
it if you've got bragging, right for hat so you
get a little paper certificate year, there's something got to
be something there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
I think you do the New York one and people
kind of encourage you and stuff like that. I've got
no way. I mean, I could do a marathon, I
just choose not to. It wouldn't be quick, but I
would have no problem doing it.

Speaker 12 (01:00:42):
No, you do it in your own time, that I mean,
and it's your top, it's your will as it were,
and I just don't see it myself. But anyhow, I
wish some good luck down there in Queenstown and birthday
boy tomorrow, so I'll phone off and wish you a
good Eve.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Is it a zero?

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Is it an ending in zero? Birthday?

Speaker 9 (01:01:07):
Uh? No?

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Too cheapis nice to hear from you, Dave. What do
you reckon? I's fifty two, sixty two or seventy two? Marcus.
I know you aren't kidding, and I like an email.
The best tip shop is the one in Wellington at
or fed Or Bay. They don't take whiteware at the shop,
but they take it the actual dump where they charge
twenty five bucks. I'm seventeen since going down there to

(01:01:31):
hang out with good friends for the past ten years.
We frequent the tip shop at least once or twice
a week and we often come away with some dink
and bargains. It's a great way of students finishing their
flats for very little. I love the full of large
bag for two bucks most times coming away with some
classy designer clothes. Only take pure cotton and cotton t

(01:01:52):
ship pure woolen cotton t shirts for the lads to
use them for rags if they don't fit. But unlike
the op shops, I don't have rags of clothes. Instead
anything you want for the kitchen, tables, chairs, tools for
the men and garden. We compete to see who's picked
up the best dead each time. Next time you're in
Willy ever spare hour sug Yes, you go up by
the way. The kids love it their chairs from Mary.
What a great email, Marcus. I'm thinking one of the

(01:02:16):
reasons why they're just returning flights to the bases because
they don't need to compensate passengers due to it being
related to a weather event. Marcus. Our plane didn't get
diverted in Vocago because our crew had done their hours.
Someone thinks day's eighty two? Where does it gives been
easy to be a quick marathon, wouldn't it? Where where's
the Queenstown Marathon or is it all on the flat.

(01:02:38):
I might go and do it tomorrow. There'll be some
spare tickets. I could get up there. I actually might
do that, although it's caused the New Zealand Southerby's. That's
what's a pretty upmarket name for a marathon, isn't it
the world's most beautiful marathon? Where's the route of course summary?

(01:03:01):
I just want to see a map. Just give me
a map. We're not going to a map of course
over I just want to map. Oh you'll find a
course overview here. Oh ye, it's quite long. Oh wow,

(01:03:22):
oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
It goes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Which is the marathon? Is that the green one? It
goes partially around like Hayes and all the way to Arrowtown.
It does look scenic, so yeah, there's a fair bit
to it. It's kind of kind of hard looking at
to work at which one is the marathon? But yeah,
she's she's spectacular. All right, So there we go. But

(01:03:54):
a lot of people wont begin there because of the
flights to get in touch by name as Marcus. Welcome
if you're to talk without anything else tonight dumping rubbish
flights are being rubbish because the Big Marathon was what
I thought I to do a marathon that was the
most spectacular. What was up and downy So I'm not
quite sure about that. But the Queen's Down one looks

(01:04:15):
like it's probably quite flat. The Alkland ones not flat
because you go over down the Harbor Bridge. But yes
there's If you want to be in touch with the show,
Marcus Hitt twelve o'clock tonight eight it calls about elephants tonight.
Bit of a change, so elephants was it was elephants

(01:04:35):
this week or last week? Dan this week? Boomer leaving Steve,
it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:04:43):
Hey you're Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:04:45):
Hey listen. I used to work for Salvation Army and
they had a free pick up service for the stores,
et cetera. But it got to the stage where we
wouldn't pick up things like mattresses and stuff like that
because they had bodily fluids on them, so it became
a health and safety issue. Also, the amount of stuff

(01:05:08):
that was just it was absolutely rubbish. You couldn't sell it,
so it costs Salvation Army to dump it, so it
wasn't really worthwhile.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
So did you just stop picking up stuff altogether or
we're just much more selective.

Speaker 9 (01:05:28):
We had to be more selective. It was against the
company policy, but it was also a health and safety
risk for the staff as well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Yeah, what makes you wonder where the people are at
that are trying to offload jug to the Salvation Army.

Speaker 9 (01:05:45):
I believe that's true insteading on to the d just
bring up and say, well, you know, basically you have
to come and pick it up because you have a
free service and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Everything should be clean.

Speaker 9 (01:05:59):
At the center of the time, it was just.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Ship Yeah, okay, yeah, that's crazy a yeah, and that's
one of the Yeah, it's taking them mickey, because that's
just because the price of dumping stuff's become so expensive.
But that's crazy, that's just and really unfair when most
people have volunteers as well having to weigh through that stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:06:21):
Yeah, yeah, true, But I mean there were some of
the places we went to. I wouldn't even go inside,
you know, there was just nappies on the floor and
stuff like that.

Speaker 13 (01:06:31):
It was just.

Speaker 9 (01:06:33):
Totally disgusting and speak charity. Did you go and clean
it out for them?

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Yeah? Okay, how long ago was that, Steve?

Speaker 10 (01:06:42):
Two years?

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Okay, so it's not that long. It's quiet. And that
was in Welling Christ church.

Speaker 9 (01:06:47):
It was in the Wellington region.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Okay, appreciate that. Steve've got to tell thank you. Marcus.
I once put a lounge sweet outside of my gate,
sat there for four days. Someone to just put a
sign of two hundred and fifty on it. Oh, we
know what. It disappeared that night. Marcus done the Queenstown
Marathon twice. Flights changed both times. It's a tough off
trail course. Did Berlin this year nearly fifty six thousand runners.

(01:07:13):
Was fabulous done twenty four as chairs Karleen, what's the
worst marathon to do? Probably I don't know what they are.
What's good and bad? Think a downhill one and be
good here till midnight tonight if you want to be

(01:07:35):
a part of it. Question from Josh. Is the Queenstown
Marathon long within the NewYork Marathon? I don't know. It's
probably steeper. I would think someone said the best marathon
the hardest marathon is the why He Marathon, which Dickie's
flat never heard of it. Texts firecrackers going off in

(01:07:57):
THAKAPOONA thank you for that hardest marathon, Dickie Flats why He.
Goldfield's right at eight out of ten for toughness. Good evening, Jay,
AT's Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:08:09):
How are you mate?

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):

Hundred percent? Mate? There was there. There was many people
in front of us not handing it back. Something. Mate,
But yeah, I'm not oneing. I'm not one to nothing up.
But I have to say it was absolutely probably one
of the best concept I've ever gone to, apart from
Apart from the prices of the beer. You know, an

(01:08:41):
alliance will extra to be honest, alignment too bad compared
to a rugby game.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
You're paying Yeah, you're paying eleven dollars for what.

Speaker 11 (01:08:50):
Eleven fifty for a Stine lagger in the camp?

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Okay, it's a long time between drinks for me. How
much would that cost?

Speaker 11 (01:08:59):
At a bar and bar you probably get a point
for probably the similar price. Mate, You're probably getting double
in a bar. But nevertheless, mate, like you know, I
ended up.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Hang on, hang on? Is it are you saying if
you went to a bar and got a style layer
would be six bucks?

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:09:18):
No, no, it would probably be the same, but you'd
get double. You get you get a point where not
three hundred and thirty milk.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
I see what you're saying. Okay, well that's crazy, okay, yeah,
and then.

Speaker 11 (01:09:29):
You're paying, you're paying seven eight bucks with chips. Well
I didn't get my wife what the chips?

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
But there was how much for chips?

Speaker 12 (01:09:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:09:35):
Eight bucks? Mate? Eight bucking el Sorry from my language
meant bloody cold, mate, bloody cold.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
So you joking, you joke?

Speaker 17 (01:09:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
But okay, hang on, hang on, Jay. A couple of questions.
Why didn't you pre load.

Speaker 11 (01:09:48):
Oh mate? I did preload? Smash back a box.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Mate, okay, okay.

Speaker 11 (01:09:51):
And your wife's driving, she's driving, mate, have to have
a sober driver.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Always, okay, hang on, hang on. How come when people
go out they get so hungry do you as soon
as you get they want chips?

Speaker 11 (01:10:03):
No, she had a few. I said to her, you
can have a couple. Just make sure you have something
you know to obviously eat those, which which he did,
which she did, and chips were for her mate. Just
to make sure she had two too, I think you
can have two. And what content we got we got
there at.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
What So she had two? She had two chips, shared
two beers?

Speaker 11 (01:10:24):
No, no, to two drinks, mate, two drinks, not beers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
But oh yeah yeah he said some chips to get
a keeper up. Where'd you park?

Speaker 11 (01:10:32):
We were actually quite twocky, mate, We passed up the
road and some some street off the Minion Road and
then we ended up getting an uber from there. Or
actually we walked, Yeah, we walked, so it was not
too bad twenty minute walk mate, Yeah, not a bad night.
Tickets were two bad five bucks one hundred and eighty
bus diis so now it couldn't mate, Mate. Overall they

(01:10:52):
were awesome, absolutely awesome. They had a couple of the
had a couple of hucker groups start off with, which
obviously got the crowd engaged. And yeah it was pretty
well pretty well yeah, pretty well managed I think.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
And then you walk back to the Dominion Road car
after another twenty minutes.

Speaker 11 (01:11:13):
Yeah, twenty minutes. Twenty minute walk back to the car, mate,
can't complain And that would have obviously, you know, maybe
she's a bit sober as well. Not that two beers
are going to get you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
No, should be right, she would have danced that off.
Now tell me something, to tell you something, Jay, after
you said this was could be the best concert you've
ever been to what would be the other contender?

Speaker 11 (01:11:35):
Other contender would be I would say six sixty would
come in third. And I said, ussa, I said, just
after Michael Jackson passed away back in two thousand and
what was it thirteen fourteen? Wasn't wasn't it? He did
a yeah, he did a little you know, skipful Michael

(01:11:56):
Jackson at the start with his moonwalking and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
So I didn't know moonwalk, but that's something. And are
you driving out of orkand do you live in Auckland now?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Are you on the motorway now?

Speaker 11 (01:12:17):
We're just getting on the motorway now mate. We lived
slightly early, just before the last song, just before the rush.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
I don't like people leaving concerts early.

Speaker 11 (01:12:26):
I know, I knew it was. I knew they would
have the last song they played and make the fireworks
went off, which kind of set the alarm bells for us,
you know, make a move.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Okay. It says that you're handled all well too with you.
You're hungry now after your.

Speaker 11 (01:12:39):

To be honest, what were the bees or with the chips?

Speaker 11 (01:12:47):
I'm not the chips make the trips to finish back

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Okay, you're gonna have a bit of a night of it.

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
A oh, I might as well. I don't don't drink much,

of it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Yeah, you got to keep it there with your wife.
She's just driving your home now, is she?

Speaker 9 (01:13:00):

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
Is Well tell you what, Jay, You're good. You did
well with turning your phone off in the car and
if we thing because your wife won't know what you're saying.

Speaker 11 (01:13:09):
No, exactly, I've taken a lot of speakers. Well, Ma,
it's just you don't know what I'm talking about. Who
I'm talking mate, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Yeah, a legend. I'm just watching Usha has Michael Jackson
tribute as well.

Speaker 6 (01:13:18):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
There we o. That's all we need to know about
Cold Play. Sevenars for the Chips and I can't course
that cold I don't know why they can't develop ourselves
self eating chip or something for events that like that,
because they predo them all. Anyway. I know a little
bit about stadium food. The best stadium food I think

(01:13:38):
was at Blue Beet and pen with with Schlitzel they did,
which was very free. They worked very well at the stadium.
The other good thing and what was that the Newcastle
at McDonald's Stadium was very good. They had something I
might be the standard hot dogs anyway, but that's what
you want, isn't it. But it amazes me that people
go to these things and the first thing they do
is want to eat neat, neat, neat. Quite sure why

(01:13:59):
that is. There's something about human nature when you go
any where you want to just eat neat, neat, neat.

Speaker 7 (01:14:06):
What that is?

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Anyway? You were good, Jef, very good. Jay, You're a
good communicator. Marcus just watched the first episode of the
Day of the deck All TV on Duke very good
JK and Udachy also said, started Day of the Jackal
episode one of the years. It's brilliant and riveting. Oh boy,
get in touch all that stadium food, roadside dumping and

(01:14:36):
cold play. Was that a bitter name? Is it sound
mean spirited? Evening?

Speaker 14 (01:14:42):
Cindy Oh Hi, Hi, Mark, get a couple of things.

Speaker 10 (01:14:50):
Food on stick. Kids always love food on the stick, don't.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
They anything on a stick like an apple or a
have you? You know what that potatoes like when they
put them in the machine.

Speaker 11 (01:14:59):
Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 14 (01:15:00):
Haven't you had it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Oh no, I have had I have had it at
but is it a rugby match? And I sent the
kids to get one and they brought it back and
it was extremely salty. I thought cheap at creepers like
they like a lot of salt and credulla. But it
was only last week they actually confessed to me that
when they went to salt it, the lid had come off,
so that was them sulting it. But anyway, it was
all right. But it was It was just a thinny

(01:15:21):
sliced potato, wasn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:15:23):
But anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah I had one into need
them once but you know rubbish on the road side.
There's an app you can download. I love it app
just oh good god, what you might so? It makes
it real easy because it attaches It makes suggestions of

(01:15:44):
which of your local authorities depending on your it gets
your locality. Got to make your locality available and you've
got to pin where you are on the map and
you just say where it's dumped and it'll it'll send
a message off to Auckland Council and attach a photo
if you can give a few details and they'll deal
with it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:05):
Ah ha.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
So what this is is for illegal dumping rather than
people wanting to sell their own stuff on the front lawn.
Is that right?

Speaker 12 (01:16:13):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:16:14):
No mattresses, you know, no, things that shouldn't be there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
You're not able to do that. Now I understand.

Speaker 14 (01:16:20):
Aukand Counts are actually going around and putting a sticker
on things, a bright sticker and saying we're investigating this
illegal dumping of this rubbish. And like people are putting
out sets of drawers and things that deteriorate in the weather,
you know, yeah, and they all just break down. I
mean it's hopeless.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Most it's just particle bought MDF, aren't they. So it
just out it goes Yeah, yeah, just.

Speaker 14 (01:16:43):
The rain and dirty old matricism, you know, things that
no one's ever going to pick up, Things that people
can't be bothered taking to the dump themselves basically or
don't want to.

Speaker 12 (01:16:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Is it called literati?

Speaker 14 (01:16:57):
Oh no, it's called sorry. I meant to give you
the name snap.

Speaker 13 (01:17:00):
Send sols, Snap.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Seeing Soul.

Speaker 14 (01:17:08):
Yeah, it's really good app too. It's really easy to
use as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Do they try and investigate who's dumped it?

Speaker 14 (01:17:16):
Yeah, I think sometimes they do. They actually find them sometimes,
but with Snap Sein Solve, it's more about getting They
often come and just pick it up, I think. But
I have seen stickers around the neighborhood, not on ones
I've reported, but I have seen stickers on stuff around
the neighborhood amazingly, and you know, be quite big items,
but things that people leave out on the boom because

(01:17:37):
you're not allowed to do that now they're closing and
all sorts of things.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
Yeah, and particularly with people that have dumped it all
outside secondhand shops like Salvation Army shops. That's really because
then the Southeast Army have to pay hundred dollars to
get rid of all that stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:17:52):
Oh yeah, no, that's terrible to you. You take it
there when the doors are open. The one near me,
they're very good. They won't turn any donations that way
to try and prevent that. They just take everything and
then they deal with it later themselves, which I think
really it's a good good way around it. If that's
what's going to happen, but it still does go on. Hey,
and I wondered just to hop on about a topic

(01:18:16):
you're on about the other night, to go back to that.
You're talking about biscuits, and I agree with you. I
was looking in the supermarket last night cameo creams and
things I made in Thailand now not made here. That's
half the problem. And that they've got no butter in them.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
No, but no butter and they've all gone.

Speaker 14 (01:18:34):
I wondered if yeah, it's all gone, but do you
know what, You've got some of the best biscuits right
on your doorstep's know, the factory in Dunedin Army, not
in Dneda and in the cargo case.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
I haven't really tried this. I mean, yeah people say that,
but I've tried some broken biscuits from their factory. But
I think they kind of make stuff right around the
country as well, do they.

Speaker 14 (01:19:00):
No, I think she's only in the cargo but they're
ginger nuts and things. They're amazing, are they? If you
go in there. I've got a shop that in the cargo. Yeah,
they are incredible. Coopland sells some of them that they
make ans ECC and the ginger nuts are really really good.
Can definitely recommend them.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
How have you discovered the woes?

Speaker 14 (01:19:20):
When I lived in Dunedin and went to Coopland's, that's
the first time I saw them. But I've seen them
in a couple of shops up here. A New World
carry some of them, but they make all their own
stuff near and in the cargo. It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Yes, and I've got it. Whether it's not something I've
really explored.

Speaker 14 (01:19:41):
Oh yeah, you've got them right there. You've probably got
the best biscuits of the left.

Speaker 6 (01:19:45):
In the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
And now, yeah, it's a really good point. It's a
really good point to then think. And I think I
even think they might be bluff people as well too,
because I do hear a bit about them. But yeah,
I'm looking at their website now, So thank you for that. Yeah,
nice to hear from here. Get in touch, marcost or
twelve to fourteen pass the even keep those texts through.
I wait one hundred and eight. If you do want

(01:20:07):
to text or if you want to call nine two
nine two to text Stadium food biscuits. Well that's a
bit of a callback topic, isn't it. Marcus TAXI wanted
fifty dollars just to Pons and Bee. We walked to
the car and home already. Fantastic concert, Marcus. The amount
of people that just sit and eat at the Speedway.

(01:20:29):
They spent so much money in Palm. They've made all
the drinks for sale at speedway sugar free. But the
food's definitely not healthy. L RFK Junior will sort that out.
Good luck getting the Americans to eat healthy. Boy oh boy,
there's going to be conflict there, I would imagine. I

(01:20:51):
can't imagine that ending well at all. I think the
Shees have already tagged and about everything. It's interesting the
final series of the USA, isn't it? Boyo boys? She's
all happening quick extreme turbulence from Miami, some pretty good
online Miami from Stockholm. There's some online footage of that.

(01:21:14):
I think it's probably almost going to be TV shows
or YouTube shows before too long. Of videos of online
turbulence seems to be happening, often with people filming it.
You're Nathan Marcus. Welcome, Ja Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:21:28):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Thanks Nathan? What's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:21:31):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
I just listening.

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
I'm just on my way home. I'm one of the
pilots that tried to get into Queenstown today.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
So yeah, I appreciate you calling out there. Yeah, how
often would that happen?

Speaker 5 (01:21:46):
I probably more often, do you think. I mean, queen
Town is a specialist runway, specialist training for the jet.
You know, you've got a very short runway at altitude,
there's mountains. You know, we get what got a windshar
Taiwan's So yeah, it's it's in the airport that we're
very cute for what. Yes, there were strong crosswinds today,

(01:22:10):
but there's also wind shear down there today. And when
we're flying the final approach, we're actually carrying a tailwind
into a very severe positive wind share, which makes the
aeroplane essentially serf. So the engine thrust comes back and
and you know you're gonna be very very careful when
you're loaded the crown that you know, you don't get

(01:22:32):
into a suddenly a situation where you've got no power
on and you need to climb away quickly. So yeah,
we've we've got very strict requirements as to what we
can and can't do just just just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
For interesting, just for interest, nay than just the point
of differenceween the crosswind and wind share, tell me a
bit more about what what in fact wind share is.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
So wind she is when when the wind moves from
a tail into a headwind, or or a headwind to
a tailwind. And so you know what makes an aeroplane
fly is speed across wind or air moving across your wing.
And so when that speed changes, the wing either creates
more left or or less left. And so negative wind

(01:23:21):
shear is a negative situation, so where the aircraft drops,
and positive is when it suddenly develops a lot more
left than the airplane gets faster than the sky and
so and so what that does is then the computer
brings the engine trust back and so then it can
get to an idle situation. There's a little bit it's
a little bit heartier head around.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
But when she comes from above, does it.

Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
No, it can come from anywhere. Queenstown is the confluence
of a lot of winds. You know, you get winds
coming up the Gibston today had a strong subtherly coming
up from Kingston. So and everything sort of swirls into
a you know, a bit of a bortis right at
that runway, you know, right when we're finally lining the

(01:24:10):
jet up to land towards the southwest.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Okay, wow, so so I mean yeah, so I did.

Speaker 5 (01:24:20):
An awfland down to Queen's Down and we had to
return to Autland. So I mean, look, we really feel
for passions when that happens. It's you know, we understand
how disruptive it is.

Speaker 9 (01:24:32):
It's just.

Speaker 5 (01:24:34):
You know, we have such strict limitations and we can't
what we can and can't do, and that is purely
for safety.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Once upon a time with snow and stuff that divert
to in the carbon bust people up. This is probably
not part of your purview, But any reason about that
while they don't do that, or is that just that's
just management?

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
Is it?

Speaker 8 (01:24:55):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:24:56):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
I mean today there were about five even jets that
all sort of came through that area and fairly quick succession.
You know, every jet has a hundred and seventy to
founder of passengers on board. So if your times by
seven or eight, Marcus, how do you how do you
suddenly conjure up over a thousand seats and buses?

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
And you know it's fair point, fair point.

Speaker 5 (01:25:21):
Yeah, it's not as symbol as it sounds. The other
thing is the apron size. You know, I want to
burden the jet into Hamilton after quarter seven thirty seven,
and then they said the aprons full. So you know,
when you've already got your own term a props there
and then suddenly jets they start turning up. You know,
there's no more room.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
Yeah, okay, out of out of curiosity, what percentage when
you left Auckland for those flights is there? Are you
almost certain you can land and it changes on the
way or it's a speculative thing or how does that work?

Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Today? Queenstown wins were a lot stronger than the original forecast.
It was a yeah, it was a little bit undercasted
for want of a better work. Yeah, so you know,
terrible English, but we were Yeah, we were surprised at
the strength of the cross wind and also the fact

(01:26:16):
that we were carrying a tail wind right up through
Gibson and the final turn that we do in the
the remarkables there. So the winds were worse than forecasts.
It's a real hard one to say when you're doing
your public address to the passengers when you leave, and
you you know, say Auckland. You don't want to make

(01:26:38):
it too negative, but I always do say you know,
the weather. The weather is not great. And I always
tell them, you know, before we start our descent, there
is a good chance that we may not be able
to make an approach now. And you know, yeah, we
always have. We always have passages that are you know,
like my mum hates playing and you've got to be

(01:27:00):
a wee bit careful that we you know, we don't
want to or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Absolutely, you know, what the light were always under was
your approach, was your approached was your approach down the
lake or across from Warnaca, across the range.

Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
Across the range, through the area, and then the gifts thing. Yeah,
so no, there was two. There would have been too
much tailwinds to come up the lake from from you know, south. Yeah,
So it really it only had to be one direction.
And that's the hard thing, Marcus. Queenstownd runway is not
that well situated for the strong wind. For the light winds,

(01:27:39):
it is fine, but when it really comes up the lake,
it's actually quite a strong crosswind because that comes up
at a direction from about one to five zero degrees
and the runway is two to three zero degrees, so
it's an eighty degree you know, sort of eighty seventy
or eighty degrees off the actual axis of the runway.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Because they're putting in a big they're putting in a
big kind of an overshot thing, aren't they.

Speaker 5 (01:28:03):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's that's a really nice thing to
know that it's there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Because it's not there. It's not there. It's not there yet.
Is it there? It's like it's like in race cars.
Is it race tracks? It's like that kiddi letter off racetracks. A.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Yeah, it's made to crumple if you overrun. Yeah, I mean,
and and look it's an insurance policy. And it's nice
to know it's there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
Okay, with the will any flights for the marathon runners,
will the sick what you know, a six thirty flight
with that getting in time for the marathon probably not right.

Speaker 5 (01:28:37):
Look, I'm not sure that she was in the morning.
I do. I do know that about two night arrival
jets from one from prist shoot, one from all when
they made it in so the wind stabilize a lot
later on. But yeah, there was just an area of
sort of probably three or four hours where it was
it was rather federal there for a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
Okay, Yeah, it was.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
It wasn't a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
And just since you're there, do you need special is
it special training to land at Queenstown or do you
also need special kip for the plane to land at Queenstown? Yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
Tony captains are allowed to land the jet in Queen's Down.
I mean, this is just an any one thing. I mean,
I think I'm not sure what the other airlines policies are,
and so we have to have special simulator courses and
regular training just.

Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Yeah, okay, Well, I really appreciate you, Rick. It really
closed your explanation. They thought that was really kind of
you to tell us all that certainly answered all my questions.
Appreciate your forthrightness with that. Thanks for trying, I suppose too.
