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

Speaker 1 (00:14):
You're trusted Nighttime Talk Marcus Slush Knights Call eight hundred
and eighty to eighteen News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It be when the world outside to the day gins
winner even more, they maybe time.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
The seams.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm fine, work one never won where I are because
I away.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Bye side, greetings and welcome. My name is Marcus. Good evening.
I hope it's good where you are here to night tonight.
This is the last day of September. That surprises me
if ever a month look like I had thirty one
days it was September, but no, just thirty. I know
the thing with the knuckles. People keep telling me the knuckles.

(01:18):
But anyway, so as the last that September, finally the
weather has become good down south, gorgeous day, gorgeous down
of course, up so early because you don't know what
time it is. I'm still converting fro about a week.
I convert to the old time to work out what's
supposed to be happening. How am I supposed to feel?
Do I feel more awake or less awake? What time?

Speaker 4 (01:39):
I love?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Daylight? Saving I love what it does to your head.
It's just an hour, but man, did it do tricks
with your head?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Sheep is.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
I don't know how long New Zealand's had daylight savings for,
but it feels like it feels like I don't know,
it feels like some of us never really have got
quite used to it. Anyway. Oh, eight hundred eighty tady
and nine two nine two de text. If you are
in Nelson or Hope, I think that's the name of

(02:20):
the town, give us a call because there's that big fire.
So if you've got some visuals of that, if you
can see that, let us know what's going on. Plumes
of smoke across Nelson.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
That's a situation Richmond, Stoke and Nelson. That's where the
far people have attended that from. So you've got some
of the situations, some eyewitness accounts of that. Give us
a holler. Eight hundred eighty to eighty nine two nine
to detext market still twelve, Yep, do get in touch.

(02:58):
It seems to be well involved, whatever that means. I've
looked at them on Google Earth. It seems to be
a couple of scatterwork, a couple of old sheds are
on fire. So have you got some nyewitnesses account of that? Gus,
get that through to us anyway, because a lot of
bits and bobs are going to tell you about tonight.
But if you have got a daylight saving confession, I'm

(03:21):
always up for one of those. Bearing in mind, I
still haven't got around to change in the car. That's
forty eight hours. It's paf well, thirty six hours, it's
parf the course for me be a week or two
before I change the clock in the car. I like
having the old time. Yeah it's weird. Oh go jay,

(03:41):
there's the old time, I'll say to myself. But bearing
in mind, be careful on the roads, and be careful
in general. The ten days the week after daylight saving,
there are more accellents in New Zealand or anywhere. And
that's because even though it seems like just an hour,

(04:01):
it freaks people out. So get in touch. You want
to talk about that. Eight hundred and eighty e tendy
and nine two ninety two detext who get in touch. Yeah,
as I say, got a lot a lot to talk
about tonight. I don't quite know when you said and

(04:25):
started daylight saving. I tried to look that up. It's
quite complicated, felt like it was in the seventies. It
was trialed in nineteen seventy four and introduced in nineteen
seventy five. So next year will be the fiftieth anniversary
of daylight saving. It's taken that long for some of
us to get it's fifty years. Well, seventy four was

(04:51):
a trial, it was introduced in seventy five, and of
course it's extended how long it goes for anyway. Just
a couple other things I wouldn't mind mentioning before I
get you up coming if you've got breaking news where
you are, like, if you're not, we're just on that fire.
It has no phone that through. Just a bit of
sport that probably hasn't been covered. In the weekend, I

(05:14):
watched the final of the AFL because they've had a
great year with record attendances and it seems to be
a growing game. It seems to be the game for
all Australia. The final of the Aussie Rules on the
weekend was the team from Sydney, the Swans versus the
team from Brisbane that's the Lions. This was their spectacle

(05:36):
match and one hundred thousand people went to the MCG
there or thereabouts. I'll tell you what. The game was terrible.
From the end of the first quarter there's only one
team minute. I don't know what to say about the sport,
but g it just seems sometimes it doesn't go so well.

(05:58):
It was not close, it was not exciting. It was
an absolute threshing. Maybe that's the nature of the game.
I don't know too much about it. I don't know
if it's just dependent on some key individuals and if
they are in an injury cloud or something like that,
it could wreck the whole game. But it wasn't much
fun to watch. Brisbane ran away with it. So just

(06:20):
putting that out there if you do want to comment.
I know there are some people saying forget the NRL,
the AFL is the answer. Well, it wasn't much of
a showcase. It was terrible anyway. Thirteen past eight. My
names Marcus hid twelve, get in touch, eight hundred and
eighty e ten eighty Marcus. No need to leave the
no need to change the clock in the car, leave

(06:42):
it all year round. For the last six months my
car clock has knowingly been an hour fast. Come yesterday.
I don't have to do it no action goodness anyway,
do get in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty eighty nine
two nine two the decks, but yes, that was diabolical.
The AFL not good at all. If you're not it's
that far and Nelson let us know well involved. The

(07:04):
sub will be going down about now. I get quarter
past eight, which is a new quarter past seven. No
quarter past eight which is a new quarter part of
account for the gap quarter past nine. Who knows which
way it goes anyway, if you want to talk. Eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine by all
accounts were supposed to turn bad in the north, but

(07:25):
geeb it's good down south. So there I can tell
you about that anyway. So I'm looking for your daylight savings,
convintions and eyewitnesses from Nelson. If you've got some information
they let us know. If you can see the fire,
if you've got any other breaking news, be in touch
with us. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and

(07:47):
nine to nine two de text. Just three more months
left in the year, two from tomorrow October November December.
This is the three quarter mark. And what I often
say about the year, and I said every year. The
first nine months go very quickly. The last three months
seem to slow down, so it doesn't feel like we've

(08:10):
had three quarters of a year. Yet by the end
of the year it will feel like it's complete. It
seems to work for me as a theory. It seems
to be borne out by reality. The year goo oh
eight hundred eighty nine two nine to detext daylight saving school, holidays,
the weather, and the AFL when it's breaking news. I'll

(08:31):
bring that to you tonight throughout the course of the
morning evening, I guess I should say. And if you've
got something to add to this, feel free to get involved.
I watch some of the rugby. Yeah, but big week
into sport, wouldn't it a lot happening? And Chris Christofferson,

(08:53):
of course also too huge amount of admiration for him,
PEPs most leave for him as a songwriter. Some of
the great songs ever written were his. And I saw

(09:16):
him in New Zealand as a highwayman when he was
here with Waylon and Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson for
every Good.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
For Me.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
His greatest song is Sunday Morning Coming Down. You might
know that one. We've all been there it's one of
the all time great songs. Johnny Cash shang it well,
but it was fantastic. I woke up Sunday morning in
no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and
the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I

(09:48):
had one more for dessert. By the way, the key
liners the one about the cleanest dirty shirt that I
fumbled through my closet for my clothes and found my
cleanest dirty shirt. Who hasn't been there anyway. By the
way to Nige or the truck he's been through, there
is another fire on the Lewis Pass up near glen

(10:09):
Hope Station. Far on the lower fire on the Lewis
Pass up near glen Hope Station. That's from Nigel. Thanks
their guests in touch with the breaking news. What happens
here till midnight tonight eight hundred and eighty nine nine
being quickly won't be spear lines forever. Who I'm so

(10:32):
hyped with the old weather that finally came right eighteen
past eight. Karen ats Marcus, greetings and good evening.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
No, No, it's been grasp wonderful.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I love it when people push phones randomly. It's one
of my favorite things. What were you doing then? Were
you lying down to push the phone accidentally?

Speaker 5 (11:15):
No, I just had to get up and turn it
down because I.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Was just I think there was then there was a
beat like you pushed one of your buttons.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Oh, I must have pushed one of my buttons slightly.

Speaker 3 (11:24):

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, I just got up to turn the radio down
because I didn't want it to interfere with their call.

Speaker 3 (11:29):

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Yep, I just do on speaker. But I had to
take it off speaker because.

one of the buttons or something.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, but you know, I just rang
up about living.

Speaker 3 (11:53):

will be twenty past eight.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
So have you missed the appointments or anything today? With
doing daylight savings.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Type no, No, because I've been doing it for so long,
and because my memory has increased a lot. I mean,
I managed to increase my memory about thirty percent. So
when I first wanted to do it, I couldn't because
I would forget all the time. But then I managed
to increase my memory about thirty percent, and now I

(12:49):
can do it all the time now.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
So it's been closed for about an hour or so
now appreciate that and a lot happening in no surprises
because the first days after daylight savings there's always a
lot more accidents. I saw two coming down d Street today.
There's a car's gone into one of the shops. That
looks like a lot of evidences there tonight also twenty
one past eight, except for your care in twenty one
past seven, Marcus till midnight, twenty four past eight, Dave Marcus, welcome,

(14:40):
good evening.

Speaker 13 (14:42):
Goody Marcus.

Speaker 14 (14:43):
She's real easily turning norwister here in christ Thank you.
Some of my clocks are still on old time, but
the ones who updated that generally the ones that don't
have to update. So it takes me a couple of
days to.

Speaker 13 (14:58):
Hed and there, but I'll get around to it. He So,
did you watch it?

Speaker 14 (15:07):
It's a cracker and in the Grand Final NRL Grand
Final gains to Melbourne. I can't pick it, even though
I bet Penrith, but there you go. I think Penrith
are going to be good enough for four in a row.
I've said that earlier in the season. But she's going
to be a cracker Marcus.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I think Melbourne will win that that would be my prediction.
They just seem to be that they've had some blowout wins,
they're fit and that Jared Hughes and yeah, I just
think they will do it. That's my PRODITIONI they're both
worthy winners. It always seems to go to the it
goes to formed. It's always one versus two. It seems.

Speaker 14 (15:40):
I tending if I hadn't met Penris right the way through,
I would tend to agree with you. But I've got
to stick with Penrith at the end of the day.
But on Sunday it's going to be a cracker.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, I agree. Dave got the boys' birthday too, so
we'll start watch that late, late at night. So I've
had the discussion with them. Nine point thirty. They'll be
a sleep by halftime. Thanks Dave. Angela, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (16:05):
Hi Marcus, How are you good?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Thank you? Angela.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
So I hope that you've heard.

Speaker 15 (16:12):
The story about the referee they got punched to the ground.
I've sent all the YouTube links through and everything. It's
just so wrong at every level. I mean, my son
played three fifteen rugby and at that level it's completely different,

(16:34):
and that's fine, but my son paid second fifteen rugby
and got absolutely bashed. From Tanicke College to Tanaa to
all of.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Those schools.

Speaker 15 (16:51):
Have pushed too grand at a far multon like thing.
Today my son.

Speaker 11 (17:06):
Going to ye.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Sorry you're coming in and going with your phone. The
situation is it seems as though there's been an alleged
assault on the referee that has been referred to the
police and they're going to do their investigation. I imagine
that's the right thing to happen. Would you agree with that?

Speaker 15 (17:27):
And it shouldn't have happened. But the thing is, Marcus,
my son is a referee as well. He's a kid,
he's twenty one. He got sick of being beaten up
on the rugby field, so he gaze back to the game.
He gets abused by parents fregging weekend.

Speaker 16 (17:50):
Posh schools.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
This is this is okay, you're just piping in and out, Angel,
But I take your point and thank you so much
for coming through. I appreciate it. Alistair, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah, I was reading from Nelson. Last time I was
in I went to Paramas North. You mentioned that I
was going to stay under a Greenstein where I've got
accommodation because.

Speaker 14 (18:10):
Of your radio show.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oh god, oh god.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, Nelson College lost in the final. But this Wednesday
we've got the rent for the sheild. We've had beautiful
Sunday weather and the weather's going to to impair shape.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Who are you? Who's the challenger?

Speaker 6 (18:27):
Well it's Awkome actually, which they've put their v team
on the weekend. We put our young team year and
there'll be a fierce challenger. It'll be in them in
the rain and the mud.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Can you can you explain to me we're Tesbon's home venuers.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Right, So it was the combination of combining Nelson Bays
and Marlboro Rugby Union together.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
So do they share the home does it feel like
does it feel like a proper team? Does it feel
like a combined team?

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Well, now it feels like a combined team now. But
obviously when we started it was hard work. Yeah, you
know you were talking to rival unions. I wouldn't say
they hated each other, but they didn't like each other.
And but it's it's it's gelling and the home games

(19:22):
is shed. Obviously the last home game was for the
Shield was and Blenham. So it's all scheduled this season beforehand.
So this one's scheduled in Nelson. You know the team
they jel together and it's working for a lot of.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
People travel between the city's further respective matches. Did Nelsonians
go to Blenheim and vice versa, vice versa.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Yeah, like the one they had in Blenham was a
sellout crowd. Great, I'd like to talk this one up
and say it's going to be a big crowd. But
it's one of the reasons I've got on to speak
about it because I think it's Craig.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Could you do so, Alister, you can just hold you
hold your horses there. I just want to come back
to it because for a lot of us we find
that province quite confusing. So I've just got a question
for you. So I just told your horses there. I'll
come back to you because it's important that we talk
about this and if there are two, there's one line
there for if we're going to come through eight hundred
and eighty eight a tough past eight headlines, please dono Marie.

(20:19):
Thanks don Marie. Twenty nine away from from nine. So gosh,
it's Karen time. Alice Alistair back with you.

Speaker 14 (20:27):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
So the team, the combined team. Yes, is Nelson and
Marlborough combined? Yes, and they've called it Tesman.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
It's correct.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Hang on to me, that's surprising because Tasman is like
a third province that's removed from Nelson and Marlborough. So
was that was that a strange name to have called it?

Speaker 6 (20:55):
Well, they've tried to come so they can meet in
the you know, that's to meet together. So it's well,
he is called the Tessman.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Bay, I understand. That's a good answer, yep.

Speaker 16 (21:06):
Okay, and so but.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
Mark my words, I'll send the training last Friday, and
they're hungry, mate.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
I got another question for you.

Speaker 17 (21:18):
Okay, keep sorry.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Marlborough famously had the Shield I think in seventy four
and kept it for a bit of time and it
was huge in New Zealand. It was one of the
great Shield victories and Shield challenges and people remember where
they were and I've spoken about it a great details
on the show. Did Nelson when they were playing ever

(21:40):
have the shield?

Speaker 9 (21:43):
No?

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Okay, end the story on that one.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
No, they were called Nelson Bays.

Speaker 18 (21:50):
Were they correct?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
And they were like a second division team mainly?

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Yes, And then in nineteen ninety nine, they won the
second division and then they stayed in the second division.
Then gradually, you know they there was some financial troubles
earlier on and then they've got it together. And yeah,
it was led to us holding the shield, which a

(22:18):
lot of people don't realize.

Speaker 16 (22:19):
It lost its mistake for a while.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
But this shield's gone around to just about every school
in the Nelson province. It's gone through Blenham and it's
been treated with the utmost respectiveness in Nelson Anyway area,
and I would say Mulber area it's.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Been Okay, that's exciting.

Speaker 16 (22:40):
And so so it's not been taken for granted.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
I think that for a while the the Renfity Shield
has been taken for granted.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Like it was worse than that they used it for
performed and dignities on the shield, didn't they.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
You're probably right, Okay, Now, I just wanted to mention
one other thing. So if people come to watch the
shield on Wednesday on October the third, they've got the
Core Farmer which is going to be at the Nelson
Center of Music Arts, which is a Japanese choir that's
been coming to Nelson for the last twenty odd years.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Great and they and they'll be.

Speaker 6 (23:23):
Doing that and then on in the October the twenty
four because last week in the media it said Nelson
was one of the worst areas economically in the New Zealand. Well,
I'm trying to change that perception that things are tough here.
But this business is doing well here. They had there
opened the Nelson Junction on the weekend which the Gibbons
family opened all the Gibbons holdings, and we're talking thousands

(23:49):
of people came through.

Speaker 17 (23:50):
And so there are people doing.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
A lot of business in this town. And sports played
a big part in helping. It's like in the sectaries
getting to the Nelson College teams. Three boys are in
the Secretary schools team and they hey, you know so
it's just like, I don't know what's what the thing's
like a nunber cargole.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh, no comment. But the game is on. The game
is on Wednesday, Tasman Aucklin and it's it's in Nelson.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Yeah, at Trafelga Park seven five.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Okay, alist the course a half time for an update,
I'll be on here. Will you do that?

Speaker 16 (24:26):
I'll do that for you.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
I'm do that perfect. That's what we want. Twenty five
to nine, eight eighty, ten eighty. Thank you for the Texter,
because this is surprising to me. A Jimmy Carter surprisingly
one of the few presidents I needed one term. He
will be one hundred tomorrow. That extraordinary and the oldest

(24:47):
living US president by long way, should have run again.
He'll be one hundred tomorrow, no doubt. I imagine that
we'll probably see a situation with him in Kamla. It's
pretty extraordinary. Cont doing great work. I think it's all
very very recently around the world and peacekeeping role and

(25:11):
all sorts of roles, diplomatic roles. Craig gets Marcus, good evening, Good.

Speaker 19 (25:15):
Evening, how's it going good? Graig?

Speaker 6 (25:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 19 (25:17):
I just was thinking to you last thing you're talking
about it. I mean, at one hundred, you probably might
be still slightly better than Biden. I'm supposed maybe.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well, Biden seed to degenerate quite quickly, didn't he.

Speaker 19 (25:26):
And yeah, it's pretty sad eh.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
And they say Trump, they say some of the psychoatists
say Trump has got some of that Adam Adam Adam
has adamant adimantness is a sign decline. Also, you know
when you come back and keep reinstating a point.

Speaker 19 (25:45):
Yeah, that's the one. I was just ringing up. Mainly
was to say that I reckon this lady Karen, who
doesn't do it like saving. Good on if you're doing it.
I've tried to do it, but I'm not good at
trying to remember an hour behind everything. I'm always seeing
to be late for things, always sort of buckling and
actually changed it today like saving. But good on it
for doing that. It's quite cool.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
People are surprised how she knows that memory is thirty
percent greater.

Speaker 19 (26:10):
Well, it's probably greater than mine.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Anyway, How would you check that out?

Speaker 19 (26:16):
I don't know. There's probably tests you can do online
and imagine from memory tests and things like that. So
different things. But also I was ringing about when I
was on hold, I was listening to another lady about
the referee that got beating up. I've got family, friends
and roots that are referees in New Zealand. And one
of the things with referees is if you're as a player,

(26:36):
if you touch, like a attack or punch a referee,
it's a lifetime then yes, So whoever that guy was, well,
basically he won't be able to be playing rugby anywhere
in New Zealand, because you're like, oh, you're such as
much a nice Sorry you can't play, I.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Gin it's more serious than I think. That goes to uh,
it become a police matter, Marcus. Karen has been a
little bit silly by not accepting daylight savings. Time should
be nailate full appointments during the summer period. Maybe she
won't be, Marcus. Wouldn't be great if the shopping malls
had had a helpful person at a desk to change

(27:13):
the time on digital watches like mine for people like me. Unfortunately,
my mobile phone is smarter than me, Marge. Marg'd be
a great thing for a teenager to do, wouldn't it
to just go to a mall with a sign that
I will change your digital watch for you. Digital watches
our tricky things. Marcus, How does she know she's in

(27:36):
crested memory by thirty percent? I wonder how you measure memory? Marcus.
Please don't mention the new shopping centric UK to there
put anymore. You're given it free. Purposy on your show
may have greatly contributed to the traffic chaos at the weekend.
Traffic was backed up from tucking Ninni to the airport
all day Saturday. Yep, all day Saturday.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
No.

Speaker 16 (28:02):
I was.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Spent most of the weekend at I went to the
Blossom Festival at Alexandra. And when they say blossom festival,
there's a parade, and there's floats and they're made from
blossoms made out of crape paper. Quite a big deal,

(28:27):
and bands and rides and all the fun of the fair.

Speaker 20 (28:32):
You know how it is.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
A lot of the ghool boys up there in their
v eights. But a action with the police outside the
liquor store always good. It seemed to be a fair
eighteen degrees. It got to us a good day, good day,
and sent lowtago, but quieter thannother years i'd seen it,
but plenty of variety with foodstools. It seemed to be

(29:02):
pretty good. I thought, now we get in touch. You
got to think to add eight hundred. Tell you what
you go with every time you go to the every
time you go to one of those sort of like
an amp show or a carnival or a blossom or
any of those festivals. There always seems these days to
be the I don't know how to say this elegantly.

(29:25):
There's the steampunk people, and they dress up in like
top hats and goggles and Victorian clothes and look like
having the time of their life. But boy do they
trigger me. There's something about them to But like when

(29:48):
I don't like those when you've got like old see
there at Fairymediate as well, they have opened that faerymat.
I don't like people that dress up in different time frames.
Where's freaks me out. I don't know why it is.
It's like time travel, I guess anyway, eighteen to nine,
catch you soon, evening, Leo ats Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 21 (30:07):
Could they make us? And we were South Islander gone
back and we used to go to Alexander Stead, the
Blossom Festival and whatever.

Speaker 16 (30:18):
I've always wondered.

Speaker 21 (30:19):
In the early days of television, they used to televise
programs like that, local television, local television programs, all events
types of loss and festival and and tocial events like that.
Why do you think consider some of the rubbish that

(30:41):
you're going to work down? Why don't we have those
things put on, say a half their program or things
like that?

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Extremely good question, Leo.

Speaker 21 (30:54):
In fact, there's a lot of things to go on
throughout New Zealand and the never you get that trety
seconds on the news and I think we deserve more,
that we should should have more and blossom festol stuff

(31:15):
where people have put a lot of out of work
and to for Jews and I just would like to
see it. And I wonder what I want to know, Warry,
it's not happening.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I don't. I don't think there is the TV reporters
in the South Island now. I think there's probably one
or two in christ Church, but not many more. I
think that ann office has closed, so I guess it's
just there aren't reporters there to film and do stories
on that kind of stuff that there will be my impression, Leo.

Speaker 21 (31:50):
Yeah, but even in the North on we're in parts
of the North and even the noise on there's a
lot of things go on, but even the Christmas break
things like that, no, and but don't put out another
show on uh h, which you know it's not it's

(32:13):
not interesting.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Because does Palmerston North have a good Christmas parade?

Speaker 21 (32:19):
Yeah, very big Christmas.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Through the square around the square.

Speaker 13 (32:23):
That's yeah, goodness.

Speaker 21 (32:25):
Yeah, and there's other things like the National quite Man
Championships and then Scotland it's a big event at Edinburgh.
That's a big event, the Quiet Man competitions and and
even the Edinburgh Taboo, which has been here here and

(32:48):
it's been in running and we've been there. But even
that doesn't seem to be on Lord TV anymore.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, I guess, yeah, I don't know. I don't know
the answer. I guess it's hard to. I guess it's
expensive to and maybe people don't want to see that
sort of stuff when you do, I do, but yeah,
oh I never mine you mister Goodie though, Leo, thank you.
Nice to hear from You're twelve to nine and the
old days with town and around in Top Half in

(33:21):
the Mainland touched your head. All those stories not so
much now.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Kind of.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I guess we look more overseas for our stories, don't we.
There'd be my take on that here for you people,
if you want to talk Marcus till midnight.

Speaker 6 (33:37):
You got.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Memories of Chris Christofferson and A Star is Born, the original,
the original remake. I think Rhodes Scholar, helicopter pilot boxer
did it all but a gat songwriter married three times,

(34:02):
help me make it through the night. Sunday morning coming down, Well,
that mean to be with his best song, I guess
or Bobby McGhee. But get in touch if you want
to talk. Oh, eight hundred and eighty to eighty nine
nine to text. I'm looking at variety. They say his

(34:24):
biggest songs best. So I helped me make it through
the night was pretty good. Here comes at Rainbow again.
Also mentioned ten away from nine nine to nine nine
to wait for You, Karen Joel ats Marcus welcome, good evening.
Oh hi hi Marcus, Hi Joel.

Speaker 13 (34:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (34:46):
Back in the day in the eighties, gold Mills arrest
and if it was a fight, and he meant to
break it up and they and it didn't work, they
went back at it. He jumped in front of he
broke a whistle as long as he could in the
areas right, it'll keep for definitely.

Speaker 22 (35:03):
So they break up.

Speaker 16 (35:04):
Then you go back in and truce to get a
between them. And then if one of them hits him,
he allowed hit them back straight away, and he did.
But I don't think the player got banned. But the
two players that were in the fight were sent off
straight away to cool down. Hell a shower, you know,
red card, you're off. But he did he dropped them back.
He hit him back in the whole crowd when whoa
So that was that was back in Wong and NUIs

(35:26):
versus King Country Old School. Oh yeah, and last night
my son Joseph was doing the Hooker. Eden Parker was
up in the front.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, okay, how I watched a bit of the video
because obviously could be there on the South Island. Who
were the people in the red.

Speaker 16 (35:49):
I think they were part of the challenges or now
I'm not so sure who they were. They had something
on there, they had something on there. I think they're
a part of music and music school.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Did he stay music? Okay? So, but your son was
on the stage. You're at the front, below the stage.

Speaker 16 (36:11):
He was below the stage, but he was. He was
part of the people that were going to welcome there
or coming they had to read on.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, I can see a lot of them. Okay. And
did you speak to him? Have you spoken to him afterwards?
The Joel.

Speaker 13 (36:29):
Well, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, because I wanted to know what it was like
to doing the Hacker with seven thousand others. I wouldn't
mind knowing what the noise was like. But I haven't
heard from anyone that was there yet. He didn't speak
to him.

Speaker 23 (36:44):
Much.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Okay, I appreciate that, Joel. Thank you for anyone whiles
there and can tell us what it was. Only seemed
to be a good effort. I was disappointed all those
people in the stands. Why weren't they partaking because I
put a lot of it and any good cause I've
had a bit of money. I think I'm just looking
at now on the video, it seems to have gone well.

(37:13):
It has been the authenticated Chiff Marcus welcome, Hello deaf there. Hi,
Jeff you coping with daylight savings? If you changed your clocks,
head mate.

Speaker 24 (37:30):
I want to talk about I want to talk about
the construction of this hospital and Nderneden.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Me oh.

Speaker 24 (37:39):
I've been in the building trade for sixty or sixty
five years and it seems to me the way this
whole AH finance to the hospital has been totally mismanaged.
It's a total disgrace. And as a gentleman said, the

(38:03):
hospital needs to be built because it's it's going to
serve a huge, big community in the South Ireland. Otherwise
people could die. Now it's escalative. It's gone up about
three times from what I can hear, so as far

(38:25):
as I'm concerned the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
I think you take a great a start with the
three times. There's figures that don't show it's gone up
three times. There's quite a lot of conflict with a
different reports and different figures. It seems as though they've
got sort of figures to show they don't want to
do it, but the other figures show that, in fact,
it hasn't gone up that much.

Speaker 24 (38:45):
Yeah, but the contractor, the contractors who priced price the
hospital out, why why wasn't built?

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Well, yeah, they're in the process of building, and I think,
do you I think that's the point with that one.
But look a lot more informations about to come out
on that. You can to assure it about that because
I can't believe there were thirty five thousand people. That's
like a third of the population. That's extraordinary and that
would have made the government take notice, you would think,

(39:21):
I mean the hot that's within a day they had
they had thirty five thousand people, So pretty unbelievable. Now
we're back after the news. If you want to talk, oh,
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty, if you want to text,

(42:11):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine

Anything else you want to talk about tonight too? How
are you coping with daylight savings? Saving fifty years of
it next year? Although it's really fifty years this year
because what we did is we had a trial in
two in nineteen seventy four, and then we did it

(42:38):
for real in nineteen seventy five, So this is really
the fiftieth anniversary today. I don't know why no one's
making a bit more of a deal about that. I

good to hear from your Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nineteen nine two de texts Marc is

got something to about that, But also too with Chris Christofferson,
who was here with the whole. I got some text
about those. I'll get to those before too long. I
think they think he was a better songwriter than he
was a singer, and I'm okay with that. I thought

(43:23):
it's a pretty good singer. Also, by the way, just

got to their nineties, but no one to one hundred.

Speaker 11 (44:05):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
So let's be hearing from Let's just look at those
texts people at ten past nine or ten past eight.
If you're Karen Marcus, that's a bit called saying that
Christopher Chris christophsa was the best of the highwaymen over
Johnny and Willie. Can you elaborate a good point fair enough?

(44:32):
I thought probably maybe that h Johnny Cash might have
been beyond his best by there. No, I mean, I
take your point fair enough, challenging me, Marcus, loving Karen
just home from meeting a wines too late at ten
past nine, but ten past eight, different story, Marcus. The
population of Otago South And was three onred eighty four thousand,
June twenty twenty three, hospital needs completing as promised, Marcus.

(44:55):
The people in the Red Shirts were nati toa the
ewe that Tonopah belonged to nothing far to welcome them
at the beginning, Love your show, cheers, Joe Chris was
a great man. He was never a good sing of
an amazing song and very clever individual. Would you go
see eighty three year old Dion Warwick coming in January. No,

(45:16):
I wouldn't, but I'm sure people will love her. Marcus,
I'll enjoyed daylight savings a lot more of time. Jump
forward an hour on a Monday afternoon during work hours
instead of in the middle of the weekend. Thanksgavin altogether,
now eight hundred and eighty Tenny, my name is Marcus.
Welcome headed twelve. Anything else, we're up for that. Here

(45:37):
for that, and there might be something else you want.
I want to hear your daylight savings fails and your
fire alarm fails. I meant to mention that earlier. I
tried one of those fire alarms that you just rip
that sticks to the roof. I thought they're pretty good, certainly,

(46:01):
I mean the downfall of daylight the downfall of smoke
alarms was always the alts and screwing them to your roof.
The new system seems to work very very well. So yeah,
at least the one thing about every year we put
up more smoke alarms or check our smoke alarms. The
technology is getting better. Those ones that last ten years

(46:24):
are very good, and those ripping stick ones are great.
Loving them also so eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty
and nine, two de text. My name is Marcus, welcome,
headed twelve. Anything else you want to talk about, Get
in touch. I wonder everyone's fairly fitting more awake. I

(46:49):
fully energized. I went out at lunch time, and I
went out not lunchtime, went out during the news time,
and there are people sort of tooting horns and driving
around the block and in vocagos that people seem to
be in a very good frame of mind. Yeah, anyway,

(47:09):
do get in touch, Tierry Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (47:13):
Yeah, Hi Marcus. I was really upset when the news
came through that Chris Christopherson had died. I know he's
eighty eight, but you know, I loved it. I thought
he's a wonderful actor. But he loved rugby. He and
some classmates at Pomona College revived the rugby rugby union,

(47:34):
which is still going today. And he was a wonderful
sportsman too. Apparently he was on a nineteen fifty eight
edition of Sports Illustrated. So he was a pretty smart
guy and very sick guy. And I thought a lot
of his movies were pretty I liked. There was one
called Payback and came out in nineteen ninety nine with
Mel Gibson and Maria Bellow, and he played and that

(47:56):
was a good one. I liked that.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Seemed to be a guy that did it all because
he was a boxer, He was a helicopter pilot, he
was a road scotar. We always say what that means.

Speaker 12 (48:07):
Yeah, So I just yeah, I think he lived a
really full life.

Speaker 13 (48:13):
So and I.

Speaker 12 (48:15):
And I thought that he was also quite quite a
good actor. I don't I'm not sure if he was
even nominated for an Oscar, but he was in that
remake of for Stars Born with Barbara streisand I think
she wanted Elvis Presley to begin with the they put
on the pounds, didn't.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
He hopeless of that? He couldn't act, Ah, he wasn't.

Speaker 12 (48:40):
Terry wasn't a bad actor. If you know the movie
that he was in, when you know sort of drim
you didn't have to be a writer, but he was.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Okay, A Star Isborn requires a certain amount of depth,
doesn't I've never seen it, but I kind of know
the drill. It's pretty, it's it's a it's a heartbreaking
love story, isn't it.

Speaker 24 (48:58):
He couldn't do that, Yeah, well, I saw.

Speaker 12 (49:00):
The original with Frederick marsh and Janet Gainer, I think,
and that was good. And then the one, of course
with Judy Garland and James Mason was she thought she
was going to win the Oscar that she didn't, and
then the barb striping one, so yeah, and I haven't
seen the one with Bradley Cooper or Lady Gagas though.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
God, she did a lot of movies. Who Chris Christophers?

Speaker 12 (49:25):
Oh I thought he was she? Oh yeah, he did
one called Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore with saying I
think that's the one that won Alan Durst and her Oscar.
So yeah, he's been in an Oscar nominated movie. So
I if anyone wants has not seen Paidback with Nuggetson
and Maria Belle, I think they'd really enjoy that.

Speaker 25 (49:43):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
What's the Yeah? Okay, what was that last one you said?
What was it called the Something Don't Live It?

Speaker 12 (49:50):
What was that one you mentioned, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore?
What came out about seeing I think Martin Scorsese he
directed it.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, what's the plot of that?

Speaker 9 (50:00):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (50:00):
Well, you know, she plays Allenhurston plays at a waitress
and her husband is, you know, an abusive man. Chris
Christopherson comes along and or she's got dreams you said,
you've got dreams of you know, not just being more
than you know, a woman who gets married and has children.
I think she's got ambitions, you know, to be a

(50:22):
singer or something or any or whatever. So I haven't
seen it, but I'm sure Martin Scorsese directed it.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Okay, might have to go back and watch some of
his films because I always remember him as a as
a singer first and foremost. But yeah, looking at us,
looking at us, he said he did a lot of them.
He did a lot of them.

Speaker 12 (50:42):
I thought he was a good actor, you know, really
good actor.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Nice to hear from me, Terry, Thank you started the chet.
We're talking Chris Christopherson eight hundred eighty Tania nine nine
to de text oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty if
you want to come through and yeah, well done. Everyone
in Dunedin to march about the hospital. Yeah, but wow,

(51:10):
that's a community that got mobilized free quickly. And there's
all sorts of information still to come out about that,
all sorts of information and to do with the old
hospital and the cost of the old hospital and all

(51:31):
sorts of things like that. It was never a pie
in the sky idea. But yeah, if you want to
talk about that too, and daylight savings and daylight savings fails,
you need daylight savings fails. I mean, has it gone
badlyfore you the fiftieth anniversary of it? I wonder the

(51:51):
thing about daylight savings now with your cell phone, it
all happens so seamlessly. Yeah, this is someone's gone with this.
There were no emergency tests on the phone, just say.
I was looking forward to those and whatever happened to
ads about testing electric blags as well as smoke of
arms at Daylight Savings WEEKID. I thought it was a
bit of a pizzit of the weekend. I look forward

(52:13):
to things like that also. I thought there would be
it might be at the other It might be when
we get into the longer winter. We have the ads
for that. Marcus Rhodes Scholar meaning a hold of one
on numerous scholarships found under the will of Cecil J.
Rhodes that can be used at Oxford University for two

(52:34):
or three years and are open to candidates from the
Commonwealth of Nations and the United States. Marcus, I was
living in London in the early seventies. I saw Christofferson performed.
I can't remember which venue. He was quite a babe
in those days. Maggie I had great eyes. He got

(52:55):
those smiley eyes, didn't he were the creases around the
eyes great face. Also announced that wakat On Medical School
will progress. I feel that a need teaching hospital decision
is related, so one says, I bet Karen is a

(53:17):
load of fund at the New Year's Eve party from Nick. Well,
exactly what up to one o'clock? And ere the haveing
you here?

Speaker 26 (53:24):
Karen?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
She would be an hour later? She would so be
an hour later. I don't know if anyone can still
be around anyway. Getting touched nineteen past nine. My name
is Marcus head a twelf. I hope the school holidays
are going well for you. Fortunately, extremely good weather today,
so the kids are happy. It's gonna be a big
two weeks. I think this is a lot happening. If

(53:48):
you want to email Marcus at News Talks, he'd be
dot co dot NZ. Good evening. Here's a fact about
the Olibes versus the All Blacks. The Wallabies hadn't lost
a match to the All Blacks on the twenty eighth
day of the month since nineteen eighty they lost and
will enter this past Saturday, which was the twenty eighth day.
I know it's off topic, but just a random fact

(54:09):
to share. Thank you. Oh he's a really good text
from Anton Hi Marcus. The thirty five thousand protesters should
have done a hacker and smashed the record. It would
have made international news. It's an extremely good point because

(54:30):
six thousand. I mean, there's plenty of times people are
on bigger crowds than that. I think the only reason
that became a big dealer is because it seemed weird
the French had done the world's biggest hucer. And it
was also a fundraiser, though obviously with fundraising, always looking
for a good cause, I mean, you're always looking for
a good way to raise funds, and that was a

(54:52):
good idea to use that. They sold tickets for spectators
and they sold tickets for participants, and yeah, good on them,
because it must be very hard doing fundraising, always coming
up with new things to do. Twenty one past nine o'clock,
catch you soon. Just thinking about the call of Leo

(55:12):
in that last hour Leo rang up and he said,
how come there aren't TV shows about things like the
Alexandra Blossom Festival on TV anymore? And you can kind
of laugh at a call of that because it seems
like nostalgia and people looking to the past, but you

(55:41):
have got to acknowledge that when it comes to TV
shows that portray us going about what we do, there's
nothing much there anymore. When these shows were always spent,
you know, festival's fears events, They're always greatly covered in
shows like Heartland, and people love that sort of stuff,

(56:05):
you know, and now there's none of that, no shows
like that. You don't really get to see that on
TikTok or YouTube either. So yeah, it's suddenly those events
that people can't get to. And I don't think they'll
ever be coming back either. I don't think we're something
going to get shows like Heartland because people, I mean,

(56:27):
people watch TV, but there's not the budgets there to
make the expensive programs. But yeah, I kind of understand
what Leo was going on about. It has changed a lot.
There aren't those shows anymore that people get to see
those things. I guess the only point is you gotta
get off your chuff and go and see them yourself
these days. Twenty five past nine, Marcus, I read on

(56:51):
stuff during the week. It was Tuesday Wednesday advertising day
it savings also said about cell phones would be going
off seven pm on Sunday night. That didn't happen. No,
I didn't hear that. Ifyone else heard of that. I
thought that was going to be the big test. Let
us know, Marcus, daylight saving is grammatically correct, not daylight savings.
Yours and gramm are pedant. We've discussed this often, and

(57:14):
I think the expression daylight savings is becoming more used.
That's because we very rarely use the term saving as
a singular. Like you talk about your savings and your bank,
we're savings with your power. It's always plural. We very
rarely use saving is a singular, and that's why it

(57:37):
feels awkward for people to say daylight savings, so they
put an ness on the end. I'm easy each way.
I'm not looking to start fights or arguments, but daylight
savings savings I think both are acceptable these days. That's
my take on that. When also the fire and Nelson,
if you're a witness of that, let me know how
that is going. I can also tell you that in

(58:03):
New Zealand is scrapping flights between Wellington and in Cargo.
In twenty twenty five. It wasn't a jet, it was
the old Bombardier. But confession, I went to Wellington two
weekends ago, I drove to Queenstown. Was so much cheaper,

(58:26):
the flight times were better. And that's the trouble when
you've got two airports close together. You always think, oh, well,
I book in Chicago Queenstown. In Chicago, when I know flights,
he let's check out Queenstown. And there's always better, cheaper,
much much cheaper flights from Queenstown. So when you're the
secondary airport, it kind of suffers. And I would imagine

(58:52):
that you know a lot of the cars you see
on the road of people driving from in Chicago to
Queenstown to catch the planes. I think the same is
probably it with those trans Tasman flights also. So yeah,
and people said, oh, well, the flights are all ways full,
but that's because people getting earlier for the discounted flights.
When he puts these planes these days are always full

(59:13):
because they've got that sort of that pricing that happens
that you can reduce the price if they're not selling
and that fills them up. Doesn't mean they're making money
on it. A lot of the seats they could be
running at a loss. But there we go. I imagine
that's probably just the way flights go now. There be
some airports will stop flights and they'll bring them back,
then they'll stop them. It just all depends on how

(59:37):
the economy's going and how fluid people are, whether they
can actually drive somewhere and park their car and fly
from there. Marcus not sure how cope of daylight saving
stops now. Get ready for it. A week earlier, I
would have minded a month earlier. I thought the beginning

(59:58):
of Septem would be there about the right time to
start it. That was my take on it, and I'm
going to stick with that, although yeah, we could have
just done with the same sunlight because the weather's been
so terrible, but today beautiful. Marcus s till twelve Daylight
Savings in Chris Christofferson, The Fire and Nelson and the Hucker.

(01:00:18):
The World Hucker awardles the world record for the biggest
number of people doing a hacker. That was broken at Dunedin,
Sorry at Eden Park but some are saying probably they
should have got the crowded in Eden to do it
when there was thirty five thousand of them. That number
thirty five thousands seemed ambitious to me, but they must

(01:00:39):
have had people there working out how many were there.
It's amazing when you get one on three of your
people marching about a government decision that's unbelievable within a
day or two. Extraordinary. But backat you, get in touch,
you and talk Marcus till twelve. By the way, Chris

(01:00:59):
Christofferson once confessed he never thought he would live past
thirty before. Changing is hard. Part ways y yep. I
think he gave up the source in the end. I
think I don't know how successfully, but I don't know
if you drank again we did stop? I think, yeah,

(01:01:25):
But do get in touch. You want to be part
of the show. Headle to it. And I'm glad that
guy cleaned it all up. About Tesban the Tesman rugby teams,
I've never been quite sure where that comes from, So
Tesban Bay, I'm glad to have sorted that out too.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty you got to be
a part of it. Nine two nine two de dext
haf past nine headlines. Please donno Marie, just Donuary twenty

(01:01:45):
nine away from ten o'clock. My name is Marcus. Welcome
oh eight hundred and eighty Tenny. The other thing to
looking for what the government's proposing for the next couple
of months is going to be a decision on greyhound racing.
They've been looking into it. Although the Minister of Racing
is Winston Peters I think he thinks has said publicly
the dogs love it so surprised with the coalition agreements

(01:02:08):
where anything happens there. But that's going to be something
that's going to be decided on in the next tranch
of government things. Winster Peedz has said months ago is
not going to race the decision on the greyhound racing band.
I don't quite know which way it's going to go,
but that's something that could well happen in the next

(01:02:30):
couple of days, days, weeks, months, and that's been acknowledged.
That's going to be one of the decisions that's coming up.
Not many countries do it anymore. I think Australia, New
Zealand and England the United States are down to two tracks.
I think both of those are in Florida, and I

(01:02:51):
do know also that I think probably that the competitive
nature of greyhound racing is probably not what it was.
I know, when there's greyhound racing at the race course
at Escott Park and in Vericago, there's a trainer from
christ Church comes down with two kind of busloads of dogs.

(01:03:13):
They bus loads. There's sort of dog carriers and you
know sometimes the fields are made up mainly by dogs
in his stable, which I kind of made it particularly
good for the sport. Just saying twenty eight away from
ten o'clock, my name is Marcus Hitdle twelve. A couple
of traffic announcements today also, I'll bring those up for you.

(01:03:33):
There's been a fire and south of Nelson there's also
been a number of instance reported in the first hour
of this show. There's been a diversion in place near
Otter Hunger and there's also a vehicle fire. No, there's
a fire off the road of the Lewis Pass across
the South Island. So yeah, there might be required to

(01:03:55):
be cautious if you are traveling. I'll try and bring
some more updates for you if I've got them. But
there are diversions in place around hunger think on the
odd Tiqui Road. I'll just see if I can bring
some information up about that. And I'm on the website
now looking for you people. Due to a serious crash

(01:04:15):
near Gulf Road, White Tumul south of Utrohonga State Hiway
three is now closed followed directions of emergency response crews.
That's seen expec delays in our extra time for a
detour southbound Varaitira Road, Altiquity Road, Mangardino Road reverse for
northbound traffic. That was at six twenty one. That seems

(01:04:36):
to be a serious X and that's a report there.
All the other kind of black spots seem to be
to do with resurfacing and a lot of roadworks going
on around the country. I'm not sure what that's about.
That might do be to do with politics or some
sorts of other stuff. But look, all the lines are free.
Twenty four to ten. You got something with interest to
talk about. Where three quarters the way through the year
from midnight tonight, I didn't watch any of the America's

(01:04:59):
Cup racing during the weekend. I don't know if you did.
I think probably the our wind was on the outer
limits of what was this kind of navigatable navigatable. So
I'm not quite sure if what happened or not, but yeah,
do get in touch, Marcus. I don't particularly like greyhound racing.
The poor dogs get worked into the ground. But Winston

(01:05:20):
is right. The dogs do love it. How would you know?
And maybe the dogs and you love it because they
spend the rest of their life kind of not having
a very good life. And I'm sure that's part of
the reason to get a successful dog is to kind
of understimulate them. So once they are there in the
starting gates, they go for gold. That would be my take.

(01:05:41):
Of course they like it, don't get a chance to
do much else. As of tomorrow, rats tests will have
a price tag. Thanks for that, Marcus. I hope to
Need is doing some fund raising. My favorite Chris Christoferson
song is Loving Who was easy than anything I ever
did before Tina, because someone tell us why there was

(01:06:04):
no tsunami testing the alert there was supposed to be
didn't happen twenty three to ten, Marcus till twelve. As
I say, if you want to come through, there's something
different you want to mention. Always like to hear from
Lazy clock changes. This time of the year. I haven't
changed my car clock, and I probably won't for a week.

(01:06:26):
I'll get the kids to do it. Probably there was
keen to play with buttons. That's my take on that one.
Some are calling Chris Kustravson the greatest songwriter in the
history of country music. Yeah, I don't know if that
would be wrong. Jan Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:06:47):
Hi dear Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 19 (01:06:49):
Thank you?

Speaker 26 (01:06:49):
Jan oh good. Chris Christofferson was one of my favorites.
Love his voice. The greyhound racing terribly cruel and a
lot of them break legs and die.

Speaker 13 (01:07:08):
How many would I don't know.

Speaker 26 (01:07:11):
I don't have statistics. But the other problem is the
poor rabbit that has to be killed for each race
and put on that thing and raced round for the
dogs to chase. And some idiot man who was involved
with the greyhounds put a live rabbit on there, and

(01:07:34):
he got told he wasn't allowed to be involved with
greyhound racing anymore, and he still is.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Just to clarified, Jen, I think with greyhound racing, I
think it's just a bit of fluff on the They
don't use live round.

Speaker 26 (01:07:53):
No, he did, but he's been stopped from doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
I think there are people in training that use. In
New South Wales they used there was something called live
baiting I think that they use. They found had undercover
cameras that they found people were using live animals and
that was that was kind of one of the reasons.
It's called live baiting.

Speaker 26 (01:08:17):
And disgusting.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Yeah, and obviously the sports suffered because of that, and
that's why there have been these investigations. Live baits and
lures is what they've been using.

Speaker 26 (01:08:28):
Yes, but illegal.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
I think anything gen I think, like anything involving animals,
whether it be dancing bears or circuses with animals that
over time, people are just it seems harder to justify.

Speaker 26 (01:08:44):
Well, it's inhumane and I can't even I can't even
fathom the brain function of people who think it's okay.
Somehow deformed.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
People love gambling, don't they, And people like to bet
on things horses, dogs, Yeah, well let's.

Speaker 26 (01:09:06):
Have some humans racing around a track.

Speaker 25 (01:09:10):
We do have bet on them, bet on them.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
I think you can that would I think I think
humans are corruptible. You can fix the odds with humans.
That would be my take on that. But take your
point Jan thank you eighteen to ten. My name is Marcus.
Welcome head on Midnight eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty
ninety nine to the text Chris Chostophers and Daylight Savings, Eh,

(01:09:33):
the fires fire and Nelson just south of Nelson. You're
an update? Would that also do come through? Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eight. Look, I don't know if
they're going to announce. I think probably with the Coalition agreement,
they're not going to get rid of dog racing anytime soon.
But I don't think it'll be around in ten years time.

(01:09:54):
That would be my prediction. I don't think you'd be
around anywhere in the world in ten years time. I'm
not saying I mean, I'm not saying that I'm great
somes of Nostrodamus, but they just seem to be less
and less interested in it. Anyway. Seventeen away from ten
o'clock if you want to come through. Not for you, though,
careen seventeen away from nine o'clock if you're not doing

(01:10:14):
daylight Saving. Fiftieth anniversary of it. Also, by the way,
it was trialed in nineteen seventy four, which is fifty
years ago. It was brought in for real in nineteen
seventy five, and then it was extended. Used to be
happy in October, and they extended it a number of

(01:10:39):
years back, which was a good thing. I could tear
the full details. Go I look those up before I
came on here today nineteen seventy four, seventy five was
trialed nineteen eighty five, public attitudes was surveying. Over the
next few years. The period of daylight savings time was

(01:11:01):
extended twice. Extended twice last Sunday end September, first Sunday
at April. I've never known that, so probably with the
way the month's gone, this is quite late to get
into daylight saving. It's probably sometimes three or four or

(01:11:21):
five days earlier. There'd be my prediction. They're getting touched
by name's Marcus welcome head on twelve sixteen to ten
favorite Chris Christofson songs. Where'd you see him perform?

Speaker 12 (01:11:33):
For me?

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
It was the Highwayman Mount Smart. Might be nineteen ninety five,
but give or take five years from then, could have
been five years later, could have been five years earlier.
Fantastic walking out of ericson Mount Smart with him singing
on the road again. My dear Willy had the voice,

(01:11:54):
didn't he when Johnnykesh had a pretty good voice too.
And if there's something different you want to mention tonight,
it'd be good to hear from you tonight. And how
you co. I always just if I always struggle with
daylight savings, always feel like jet lag for about a week.
Don't know why comes to being an impath. I suppose

(01:12:15):
sense of those sorts of things. Ooh, and the dogs
greyhound racing. There's going to be a review and a
decision on that. My thoughts are that it's going to
remain for a while, but they will try. And I
don't even know how many tracks there are or how

(01:12:36):
many people turn up for them. You see them on
the tab track side, don't you from time to time.
You can watch them anyway. Fourteen away from ten o'clock evening.
Valence Marcus, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 23 (01:12:52):
How are you.

Speaker 27 (01:12:52):
It's just interesting listening to the radio, and I was
just thinking about the poor people under need and how
they can't afford the hospital, and the government want to
put tolls up on the roads and all that sort
of thing, which costs the people. Again, but when they
after nine years, if they stayed there that long they've
got to stay there nine years, they get a good
whack for the rest of their lives and free flights.

(01:13:14):
And it'd be really good if the government decided to
wipe that because they're getting good money while they're in
politics and put that money straight into the Dunedin Hospital
for those people down there.

Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
Yes, although in terms of the amount that's required, it
would be insignificant how much that'd get there.

Speaker 27 (01:13:33):
But that wouldn't be it wouldn't be coming out of
the money that they getting. I mean like Helen Clark
and Bolger and Key and all of those people that left,
and Simon Nash who was only there for nine years,
and they get that for the rest of their life
in free flights. You know, if they just wipe that completely,
it would make New Zealand a little bit better off
because that must be tax payers money or where it's

(01:13:55):
coming from.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
Well, if there is an argument, Darth that you if
you pay less to the politicians in terms of their
remuneration and their package, you'd get people of a less caliber.

Speaker 27 (01:14:07):
But I know that, I don't know they get the
money they're getting now while they're working. It's just when
they leave and that I mean a lot of people
leave their jobs after nine or ten years and they
don't get money for the rest of their life.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
I understand that, but they think probably if there is
a great package there, it'll attract good people to go
and work there. But I'm hearing your val but thank you, dB.
It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:14:32):
I'm little queer of our daylight saving for you. I
don't know if it still is the case.

Speaker 18 (01:14:37):
What is it?

Speaker 16 (01:14:38):
New South Wales doesn't observe daylight saving in Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
I think it's Queensland because Joe B LK. Peterson, I
think joby Okay, it was a strange he had a
problem with it, and I don't know what it was.

Speaker 9 (01:14:51):
Well.

Speaker 16 (01:14:51):
The live demarcation between Queensland and New South Wales runs
down the center of the Gold Coast Runway, the Gold
Coast Airport's main runway, which then rise to my thinking.
You can have a pilotment cope part aircraft on the
center line, each.

Speaker 19 (01:15:08):
Of a different time zone.

Speaker 16 (01:15:10):
Okay, you like time travel, try and work that one out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
So tell it again.

Speaker 16 (01:15:17):
So the line between the two states runs down the
center of Gold Coaster Airports and runway. So one side
of the runway is Queensland. I've got to bring up
on next that that well, and the other side is
New South Wales. Yes, because you've got to have a

(01:15:42):
line somewhere that the otago from Southland. Yes, well they
do the same, they have the same time with states. Well,
part of that demarcation line runs down the center of
a runway if you're sitting on the runway. But a
pilot on one time zone when there's co pilot and

(01:16:05):
another time zone.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Quite good, Okay, appreciate that, TB. Thank you. I think
it was Joe Bik Peterson's wife thought that. I think
it was flow. I thought the curtains would fade. I
think that's why they didn't go ahead and have it,
and then it became a badge of honor. But I
think it became quite tricky in Australia with all of that. Yeah,

(01:16:28):
and the hospital downgrade. Yep. I'll tell you what the
ODT the letter pages. The ODT is going strong on
that one. Thirty five thousand people turned out in protest. Yep.
Richard Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:16:48):
Hey, A couple of things, if I may to keep
it simple and I spend a bit of time walking
my dog and dog parks, and I've seen the results
of the greyhounds that are raised, and yeah, it's not
entirely pretty, their joints and hips and things like that.

(01:17:10):
But when Winston says I enjoy it, I believe dogs
smile and I'm pretty sure they'll be having a ball
chasing a rabbit.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
So you think they do enjoy it?

Speaker 18 (01:17:25):
Yeah, yeah, they must do. The dog's chasing a rabbit,
as simple as that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
But that's that's for a very small portion of their life.
Is that the rest of their life is probably quite miserable, right.

Speaker 18 (01:17:36):
Yeah, yeah, but I kind of tuned in and heard that,
you know, once I's saying that the dog would love it, Yes,
actual race, but I'm sure they will smile, and I
love that part of it. Like I said, I've been
a dog parks and seeing a result as far as
as far as their joints and ability.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Why would dogs injure themselves running.

Speaker 18 (01:18:01):
Because you can overrun a dog.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
The horseman taught me that, and Who's the Horseman?

Speaker 18 (01:18:08):
And the Horseman?

Speaker 17 (01:18:09):
Years ago, a couple of decades ago, he wrote as.

Speaker 18 (01:18:11):
Horses around Morehouse in christ Church and got quite a
bit of attention and I actually went to well, I
went to school with him, and we met up years
and years later, and one of the first things he
said to me was about about my dog. He says,
how long do you run your dog? And I was
running quite a whip, but he said, you can't run

(01:18:33):
that much because he told you could tell me straight
away just by the way she was walking.

Speaker 12 (01:18:37):
Wow.

Speaker 18 (01:18:38):
Yeah, And I was school English was my lowest score
of the five subjects school subjects I achieved. So it's brilliant.
Been bugging me about the savings saving thing, and you

(01:18:59):
said earlier on, I don't want to have an argument
about it, and it's not an argement, it's simply an observation.
And I hope that there is And I'm pretty sure
that there'll be all sorts of walks of life listening
to your show. It's a very good show, Marcus, And
I'm hoping there'll be an English professor perhaps listening who

(01:19:20):
could ring up and tell us the difference, like because
there is one. And doctor g is telling me that
it's not the same. The words savings and saving are different.
That I think it is daylight saving time not saving.

(01:19:43):
As you said, you didn't really want to get into
an argument about it. But it's given me something to
study over the next few days. Which one's an adjective,
which ones are now, and how it relates to time
and all that. And I'd love it if someone was
listening and that knew all that, that could ring out
and tell us.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
The okay, savings is a plural.

Speaker 18 (01:20:14):
Yeah, I've been trying to get down, so I've been
typing in what's the difference to me saving and savings?

Speaker 14 (01:20:22):
Right?

Speaker 24 (01:20:22):
But you're probably right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
It's probably gone from daylight saving time to daylight saving.
We got rid of the word time. You say we're
switching to daylight saving time. That sounds fine, but when
you get rid of time, you know, just talking daylight
saving you want to put aniss on the end of
it to make it sound a bit snazier.

Speaker 18 (01:20:38):
It's it's not stairy. That makes it correct.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
No, no, I know, but people want to sound don't
want to sound stupid. They want to say things that
feel that they are saying the right that it feels
like it makes sense because we don't talk when do
we ever? Use saving is a singular use it and
that's just using and it's just use it in a singular.

Speaker 18 (01:21:04):
Like the story says, also referred to as daylight savings.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
Yeah, so it's kind of and I reckon in fifty
years time people be saying daylight savings.

Speaker 18 (01:21:17):
M h, I don't know, I'm I'm yeah, it's just
compete to my interest.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
Yeah, mitoto. People love a discussion on grammar nice Richard.
Is it capitalized and I think it is? Is it hyphenated?
I don't know. Here on Midnight, my name is Marcus.

(01:21:48):
Welcome eight hundred and eighty tardy in nine nine to
the text. Every year we discuss it, and it's the
discussion to get more and more well formed from year
to year. Someone says, horsemen here, the last cool was

(01:22:08):
telling pork as you can't overrun a dog. Sure you're trusted.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Nighttime Talk Marcus Slash nights Call eight hundred and eighty
to eighty News Talk sidy.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
When the world outside to the day glins, when even
more they maybe time it seems I'm fine. Word one

(01:22:47):
never won where rier because I away.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
Bye side seven minutes past nine with you till twelve.
My name is Marcus. Good evening to all of you.
The lines will be becoming available if you want to
come through old. Your horses will work it out for you.
Do get in touch, as I say, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine nine to detect hitdle twelve Roman

(01:23:16):
along from midnight, Louise, Good evening, Hi.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Marcus, tell you you think it always.

Speaker 7 (01:23:22):
I'm certainly against greyhound racing. It's an outdated practice and
there's just a pleasora of reasons why we shouldn't be
doing that. And you did ask. I heard you mentioned
before why greyhounds, how they sustain injuries while they're racing.
They're quite gangly animals, and that their legs are very fine,

(01:23:46):
so they do get a lot of injury through them.
And with all the physical overexertion, particularly because greyhounds race
anti cloplows anti clockwise on the tracks, there's a lot
of physical exertion on the right hand legs, front and
back legs, and that repeats stress leads to lots of

(01:24:08):
microft micro fractures and things. And yeah, it's a nice
you know, it's a difficult life if you're a greyhound.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Interestingly enough, and that will explain what I'm about to
say about Fog and OUI. They have developed a straight
greyhound track Okay, so they must realize that the game's
up for them. If they're doing that, they must realize
that that they need to do something.

Speaker 7 (01:24:38):
That you know, judging what's been from what you read
in the media, that the organization has been very slow
and very stubborn to react to the changes they have
been demanded from, you know, MPI and animal welfare agencies.
And it just reflects the type of people that just
aren't aware of animal wealthare issues and they're just not

(01:25:00):
wanting to move with the times. I mean, who would
have thought battery farming would be outlaw many years ago.
People are waking up to the fact that animals are
sentient beings and they need to be treated accordingly.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
And look, and I think we've seen it in the
last century with all sorts of animals, with dancing bears,
with animals, and circuses, with dial fights, with all sorts
of things, and the next and the next thing seems
to be and look, I don't really want to get
a discussion about them, because they are but the next
discussion seems to be about rodeo's and horse racing. But

(01:25:42):
it seems now it seems as though they're not gaining
in population it seems as though the sports kind of
are devolving, aren't They wouldn't be. I think probably it's
hard to get people going to rodeo's these days because
people aren't interested.

Speaker 7 (01:25:55):
Yeah, it's evolving as people are evolving. Really, you know,
the only time when you see a really happy dog
and they're not what you just still mentioned before, it
is just your exploitation for entertainment for humans entertainment. But
the only time you see a really happy dog when
it's doing is when they're doing. When they're doing. I

(01:26:18):
remember that a.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
Dog show that you used to be honest, the farming
dogs that Ye, yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:26:23):
That's called that blog trialing. That's when you see a
dog smiling, not on a greyhound track. Yeah. So you know,
progress is slow, but yeah, I think people are waking
up through.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Louise you say progress is slow. The progress in the
United States happened very very quickly. It seemed as though
there was someone that wrote a book about a greyhound
and people kind of started seeing the story through the
greyhound dog's eyes, and they went from forty race tracks
to two tracks in an extremely short amount of time.

Speaker 7 (01:27:00):
And I think maybe the population marker you can get
a lot more more and issues like that. When you've
got a big population, it's like anything. Yeah, well, I'm
pleased to hear that. I wasn't aware of that, Look
I was.

Speaker 28 (01:27:16):
I was.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
I was stunned because I thought there'd be heaps of
dog But yeah, it happened very very quickly. It's his beginning.
Beginning in roughly nineteen nineteen. Continuing over the next three decades,
the vast majority of greyhound tracks have closed your declining
bidding revenue encroachment by Native American gaming commercial casino again. Yes,
so I think people have found other things to bet

(01:27:37):
on as well.

Speaker 7 (01:27:39):
Marcus, Can I ask you a questions. Can your boys
we breathe the time on a clock on a hand clock?

Speaker 3 (01:27:45):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:27:46):
Yeah, they weren't very few there.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
They can, Yeah, they can, And I think I don't
know if they was taught that or I taught them
to do it.

Speaker 7 (01:27:55):
You taught them?

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Yeah, I suspect I probably did, But let me fact
check that because I don't even know. No, they can.
I don't know if we've got a clock around the
house that they would look at. Yeah, I'm sure they can.
But thank you, Louise. It's good question. Stephanie Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:28:11):
Welcome mis Good morning Marcus. The detour around that accident
that patra Honga has.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Five meters, I, Steff, you just cut out and you
and I think it might have been a key word,
but someone said before and I think you're going to
refer to an underpass.

Speaker 14 (01:28:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Copy? Yeah, I missed what you said. You cut out.
Are you referring to an underpass?

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
Yep?

Speaker 28 (01:28:48):
It's four point two five meters high?

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Okay, that's important. How high are you on?

Speaker 28 (01:28:55):
Four point two?

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Four to five marginal?

Speaker 28 (01:29:00):
But the new tracks freight bodies that made the four
point three high okay. And there is a car transporter
unloading cars here at the moment because he's a little
bit too high.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
Okay, Okay, So is there is there no other diversion
if you are over the critical height?

Speaker 28 (01:29:24):
Yeah, you can't. If you're not longer heading south, you
can turn them to the state Highways thirty one nine.
Get up there a little bit and hop onto the
White Tomo Valley Road.

Speaker 21 (01:29:38):
Yeah, Coppy got there and then and then coming out
of White Tomo Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Okay, So why is the guy why is the guy
bothering unloading the cars?

Speaker 18 (01:29:47):
Then?

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Why is he not just doing the White Tomo Valley
roadway because.

Speaker 28 (01:29:51):
He's already at the bridge and it's to turn around.
It is not easy to come all the way back
to Dicky and then go up.

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Okay, yeah, okay, so it's a bit of.

Speaker 28 (01:30:00):
A okay, heasing north and he's already up there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
So so which way are you here, Stiffanie, I'm eating south?
So you have you managed to get around? Have you
managed to get around it yet?

Speaker 12 (01:30:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (01:30:11):
I've got under the bridge, ok. And I'm just coming
out and hanging picking now that he's out again, it's down.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
You drive Alcor, you drive awkrom Wellington, don't you?

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Why are you going that way?

Speaker 28 (01:30:27):
Less traffic? A? What is traffic?

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Because at school, holidays or you always go that way?

Speaker 28 (01:30:36):
I'm always go this way?

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
How much longer or shorter time wise?

Speaker 28 (01:30:42):
None? Yes, pizza mate Pike. Yeah, it was just another
track as you can get through.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
There pretty pretty quick with your expression. A piece of
cake and you're out like that? How many more? How
many more cases? The way you goes?

Speaker 28 (01:31:04):
Definitely, it's not you toss a coin whether you go
down the road or down through national tracks. It's basically
the same amount the time but it's it's just a
lot leastrific on.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
Stay hard way for I think I realized that that's
really interesting information with it. By the way, it's not morning, Stiffany,
it's you said good morning, and I shouldn't pull you.

Speaker 6 (01:31:28):
Up on it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
If anything, it should you should think it's earlier, because
it feels like quarter past nine is actually quarter past teaen.

Speaker 28 (01:31:37):
But just so you know, you know, a lot only
woke up at five o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
So yeah, okay, nice to hear from his stiffy. Thanks
for that. That's good, And tell about the underpass, Angie Marcus, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 9 (01:31:51):
Martha, how are you good?

Speaker 20 (01:31:52):
Thank you excellent.

Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
This seems really non interesting, but just I think the
daylight saving time and daylight savings, as far as I
can figure it out from being English and here is
daylight saving time is the process of changing the clock,
so we'll do it at slightly different times, so at

(01:32:16):
the moment the UK and New Zealand are kind of
akin to a normal time range, which does change throughout
the year. Daylight savings is the time period, so it's
almost like referring to autumn versus autumnal so it's like
going from summer to autumn is one thing. Being autumnal

(01:32:40):
is the whole time frame.

Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
So at the moment we're experiencing, we're in daylight savings,
aren't we?

Speaker 22 (01:32:45):
Is it right?

Speaker 9 (01:32:46):
Yeah? Yeah, So that the whole time frame is daylight savings.
Daylight saving time is us changing the time?

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
Makes sense to me? Angel Like that a lot mark
is the state line between Queenstown and New South Riales.
One's down the middle of the road with call and
get her on one side and tweets it on the other.
This means on New Year's Eve, you can celebrate one
side of the road, then cross the road and see
in the New year hour later. Because of daylight saving, Marcus,

(01:33:18):
I vote singular as you can say daylight saving or
daylight saving, but savings daylight makes no sense. Is increct
In my view, Saving is in the process, savings as
the result. You grind my gears. Honestly every time you

(01:33:40):
say savings, we are in daylight saving time. Christine, Wow,
spot it, You got it. The correct grammar is saving
without the year. Saving is a garund a verb. Functioning
is a noun and refers the actual process of saving daylight,

(01:34:01):
as in daylight saving time, in this case saving discrets.
The action of preserving or making better use of daylight
savings is typically a plural nown that refers to money
set aside as in savings account it doesn't apply to
the action of saving daylight. Thus the correct phrase is

(01:34:21):
daylight saving time because it refers to the act of
saving daylight, not a collection of saved items. Fair enough,
but we save daylight every single day that we have
daylight savings, so it's we're saving it for five months.
So I think it is plural. And also I think
a great deal of what passes in language is what

(01:34:42):
people feel comfortable saying, and daylight savings is a lot
easier to say than daylight saving because you suddenly your
mouth feels like it's waiting to say an extra letter
mark just while you're correctly the trucker on the morning
comment introduced the hours nine fifteen, not ten fifteen, or

(01:35:05):
that's for care. Has it changed your clock? Most countries
call it summertime. Don't have a problem with that. Don't
have a problem with that. Rah, there you go. Just
reading Chris Christofferson's Wikipedia was in the military. He became
the helicopter pilot fort Rucker Alabama said that after Oxford

(01:35:29):
then went to the music. After that, in nineteen sixty five,
he left the army, moved to Nashville. Yep, there you go,
Marcus till midnight, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Laurie, welcome,
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:35:43):
Yeah, the.

Speaker 8 (01:35:46):
It might have been his last to twenty fourteen. Came
to Parmerston, North while he came to seven I think
there's seven other places. But yeah, it was a reasonably
sort of quiet sort of concerts.

Speaker 20 (01:36:00):
He was released.

Speaker 8 (01:36:01):
I think his album was called Feeling Mortal was the
album that was released about that Asian. I guess he
was sort of losing a bit of his punch but
still quite still very enjoyable. And actually one of his
daughters came out on and sang a few numbers and
accompanied him as well. That the Yeah, he certainly had

(01:36:24):
great empathy and you know a great song that I
always appreciated that. He was a great mentor for John Prime,
who's one of my favorites. And there's one of his
songs which I do like. There was an album it's
called Jesus was a Capricorn and Christofersin said he owed

(01:36:46):
that one to John Prime that here that Unfortunately, as
I said the other night, there was six of the
CDs that are stuck in my player at prison too
of Christoverson.

Speaker 3 (01:36:59):
Wow. That's quite tom, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:37:03):
So I'm going to have to take the bears or
faulty approach. They were talking about it, but I might
have to use a ribver millet and whack around the console.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
I want them now? Is it Beast of Chris christofficer?

Speaker 8 (01:37:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Well, there would be
the double CD, the essential Christopherson.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
There essentially stuck in your CD.

Speaker 8 (01:37:27):
But I certainly enjoyed the concert anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
It was it was twenty thirteen, that makes sense. He
was seventy seven.

Speaker 8 (01:37:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it was a bit of surprise.
I don't think it had been announced that his daughter
was going to be singing. That just blended in real well.
But I don't know if she's gone on to do
much on their own. But hey, you just touched on
that figure down at the Needing a crowd of thirty

(01:37:55):
five thousand. It does seem quite amazing, doesn't that. Just
just wondering if anyone had sort of challenged the count
on that. Basically it's it's a very big, big c
I've had experience in counting large numbers of penguins from
a real photographs. It's a big number.

Speaker 3 (01:38:17):
What do you do? You you screen off a section
and count how many people or penguin in that, and
then you multiply that with how much space?

Speaker 9 (01:38:25):
Is that right?

Speaker 12 (01:38:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:38:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:38:26):
You work out a density over a few representative areas
and then and multiply that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
Can you do it by random sampling by finding ten people?

Speaker 18 (01:38:36):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:38:36):
You can?

Speaker 12 (01:38:37):
Can you?

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
I think there's another way to do it, right.

Speaker 8 (01:38:40):
I've got no experience with that way.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
Well, I think yeah, I think if they're a moving crowd,
you you grab one hundred and then you actually grab
one hundred people later on, and how many are in common?
And that way you can extrapolate something.

Speaker 13 (01:38:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:38:53):
Yeah, I didn't see if there's any TV footage of
the crowd. I didn't follow that news item, but yeah,
and anyway, I know, it's just say it just seems
a spectacular number of people.

Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
Well, when you go around the bays or something like
that and you see how many people like fifty, I mean,
thirty five thousand is I don't even think the motorways
would to cope with getting all those people. I'm not
I'm not saying that people of Dneda aren't hot and
bothered about this one, because I'm sure they are.

Speaker 8 (01:39:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (01:39:20):
Even the octagon's not full.

Speaker 8 (01:39:23):
Yeah oh well okay, oh yeah, but they could have
dispersed by then.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
People mightn't come for the shaken houties afterwards. Hearing someone
go on about but there is drone footage.

Speaker 8 (01:39:33):
Okay, well so we could check that out.

Speaker 16 (01:39:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:39:37):
You can do use a AI to do the counting
these days, can you. Yeah, you know, once you've got anmage,
you can sit.

Speaker 4 (01:39:46):
That.

Speaker 8 (01:39:46):
They can learn to count. You know, they can count
pine trees, they can get anything, you know, diach some
no sample area, yep, it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Looks about five thousand to me. But yeah, because they're
quite sparse on the road, yeah yeah, because a lot
of people to be going. I'm not saying the feelings
aren't strong, they're Laurie, but thank you. Yeah, I'm not wrong.
We want to deny crowd lumbers. But I saw that
thirty five thousand cheapest crebs. It's a lot of people
that's one and three and they're not going to be

(01:40:21):
driving up from Anto down from Alexandra. For that, I
don't think it's quite short notice for people to get
themselves together. But twenty seven past ten, my name is Marcus, welcome. Yeah,
the ODT is full of quoting people saying what they
said at the time about what they would do about

(01:40:44):
building the hospital and the likes, and they certainly haven't
done that. We will get it done. Do you get
in touch? Oh? By the way, Barbara Streisan and Dolly
Parton have led the surge of celebrity tributes to country
music icon Chris Christovson after his death age add everyone
loved him. I loved them, so talk about that as well.

(01:41:08):
Tonight twenty seven past ten o'clock texts nine two nine
to if You've got me Marcus till twelve the car
care I should have left the cars on, delivered them
as convertibles, Marcus for me. Chris Christoferson's two best movies
were Convoy and Payback with mel Gibson. Marcus, I can't

(01:41:32):
believe that you think, Marcus, I can't believe that you
think daylight saving is harder to say than daylight savings. Well, obviously,
it's just we used to saying pluralizing things. If you
feel you feel you've come up short saying daylight saving, No,
I really do feel it's easier. There's all sorts of

(01:41:55):
words that people wrongly pluralize. I don't know what they are. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty today, my name is Marcus welcome.
I think as you get older, you're pluralizing more. I
don't know what the other envelopes is that wrong envelopes.

(01:42:22):
I don't know about plural nouns. But I'm up for
the discussion anyway. Do come through if you want to talk. Marcus,
I thought I heard thirty five hundred. No, there's certainly
been a figure with thirty five thousand. Let me just
fact check that, because that's the number that in this
that's been misquoted. Certainly, I think that was the one.

(01:42:47):
I always saw more than thirty five thousand people march. Yeah,
thirty five thousand. It's saying thirty five thousand, but whether
that could it doesn't look like that many to me.
But I'm not a crowd judging expert. I'm sure they
have people to do it. I mean, they get the

(01:43:08):
stats department, and I'll take it adverse. Do you think
of someone like that. Do get in touch you want
to talk. My name is Marcus Hurtil twelve o'clock tonight,
hop past ten or hop past nine for you, Karen
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Chris Christopherson, we are
talking about who's died eighty eight Daylight saving talking about
that also too. Fifty years, well forty nine years, but

(01:43:31):
in nineteen seventy four we had a trial, so it
really is our fiftieth year this year. See what I
want to talk about that as well. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two texts top
pass ten donomary headlines Please twenty nine away from eleven o'clock.
Thanks Don Marie Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
two nine to de text hit till twelve o'clock if
you want to come through, be nice to hear from you.

(01:43:56):
Do get in touch about the march, Marcus. New Year's
is another example really irritates to me. You'd say new Years.
You wouldn't say New year Eve, would you? Maybe you would?
Twenty nine to eleven. And the other thing too is
greyhound racing at Fong and they've got a straight track. Yeah,

(01:44:22):
because it seems as though were those final legs and
legs are sort of going one over the other. The
cornering movement means that they need to put the right
leg in front of the left leg, and I can
see that they can get in trouble with situations like that,
but that's one of the actionable things that they were
talking about. One of those is about the continued support

(01:44:46):
for greyhound racing or the benning of it. Marcus, one
of the worst for adding s is Saint John. The
correct name is St joh S Is Saint John's correct
name is Saint John. Marcus Eden Park Hakka preliminary number

(01:45:09):
sixty five to three to one. France's record was foury
twenty eight. Didn't France do well with that? Twenty eight? Tweleven.
By the way, fans of horror movies, well, now you
shouldn't be warned, but they reckon this one with Demi Moore.
It's open and I don't know if it's opening New
Zealand or not. Maybe someone could tell me on that,

(01:45:29):
but in the UK people have walked out, so it's
the most graphic film they've ever seen. Now you're never
quite sure if they're doing that for hypol for it
is graphic, but it seems like there's quite a lot
of gory horror films around at the moment.

Speaker 5 (01:45:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:45:44):
I kind of lost. I never really had the love
of horror movies. When you're younger, you like them, don't
you get sort of fun to be scared. There's one
of those Silence of the Lambs ones, whether it's second
the sequel, and there's so some woman stuck down a well.
I thought, cheapest creeperst ONEm I do it. And now
I've got very little tolerance for a frightened a scary movie,

(01:46:07):
so I won't be going to do me more. One
new one. It's called Substance. The character Elizabeth turn fifty
discovers a black market drug which can create a younger,
more beautiful, more poor version of the user. The drug Strixx.
Conditions are gruesome, so gruesome that cinema goers have been

(01:46:28):
walking out after minutes, just minutes due to the extreme
level of gore. HAVE got much sympathy for people that
go to scary movies and walk out because it's too
scary for them. What were they're thinking? So I might
have seen to let me know, always up for a
film review. Why's a good question. What about the expression

(01:46:49):
driver's license versus the correct term driver license? Wow? Is
it driver license or driver's license? I thought it would
be possessive. Then if that's true or not, get in touch,

(01:47:14):
Marcus till twelve. I think both driver license and driver's
license are correct license of the driver. It's a possessive

(01:47:39):
Marcus was at the barber on the top four of
the Meridian moll Over looking George Street at the same
time as the protest haircut starters protests started to go by.
Twenty five minutes later he cut done. Still a side
wave of protests going past, so join them. Fortunately, should
have been there already. An impressive turnout. Thanks h O

(01:48:02):
Living and said that people always pluralized John Key, didn't
They always caught him on keys and that must felt
more comfortable saying that do you just have one key? Haha?
Twenty three away from twelvef you want to be part
of the show, My name is Marcus Till midnight tonight,
anything goes any breaking news. By the way, if you're
going south through Otela, Hunger, there is an eccident. There

(01:48:28):
are diversions in place, but the diversions aren't good if
you've got a high truck because you go through an underpass.
So that's important to know that there was a car
that's got a car transporter has gone there, had to
take the cars off. Tough day at the office because

(01:48:50):
what you don't want to do is drive a truck
under and get stuck under a subway because then you
become a YouTube sensation and that's never a comfortable place
to be. So there's that. Soh eight hundred eighty nine
nine to de texts you want to talk about this

(01:49:12):
or anything else, looking forward to hearing from you a
Sunday morning coming down. Greatest song ever about hangovers, but yeah,
pretty much put the line under that one one of
the great songs and let me think of anything. Oh

(01:49:34):
by the way, yes, regional flights, the direct flight between
in the cargol and Wellington will stop. But yeah, I
do believe that in the Cargo Airport has challenges because
the Queenstown Airport is so close. It's a two hour drive,
but you know it's a pleasant drive. I think people

(01:49:55):
will quite often change those around. So yeah, that might
be something you want to mention too. Twenty away from
eleven nineteen to eleven. We're talking about the strange use
of plurals because I can't think of a good argument.
I just prefer saying daylight savings to daylight saving, but

(01:50:18):
I would accept both as been. I'm not triggered by
either of them. Marcus. I'm amused at how Winston Peters
always calls Mike Hosking Mike Hoskins. Yeah, I think he does.
I think I've understand. And people pluralize a lot of
people's like they'll always say John Keys. I don't know

(01:50:40):
if they do it, if it's a do it deliberately
to put them on the back foot. Marcus. Here and
totong and we drive over the Kaimi Range, not the
Kaimi Rangers to the mighty Waikato. It's just one range
stretching along. Totong A Boys College has the Apostar after

(01:51:05):
the Yes, not before war. Let the truck tires down,
Jan and Hamilton. If you get stuck under a bridge,
all you have to do is tell anyone and everybody's
Is it not obvious that I'm delivering a bridge for good?
Thank you? Hi to Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:51:22):
Hello, Hey Marcus.

Speaker 29 (01:51:24):
Yeah, interesting topic about the plurals. You know, in this
country we seem to do it a lot. We say
instead of math, we say maths. Yes, like you said,
John Keys.

Speaker 3 (01:51:37):
Yes.

Speaker 29 (01:51:39):
So I think maybe some of it has to do
with well Till Maldy as well, because that's quite a
passive ezed language, and that kind of carries on into
into how we speak English as well.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
Tell me a bit about that.

Speaker 29 (01:51:53):
It's quite a what language, it's quite a passive ezed language.
Like there's a lot of passives. There's a lot of
prefixes and suffixes in the language. Tell Mildy so, and
there is influenced the English were speaking in this country
as well, and other languages in a company that seem

(01:52:14):
to use a little purer for purifications as such. But yeah,
I always find myself saying that as well.

Speaker 16 (01:52:20):
They're like saving the other thing, the other thing.

Speaker 3 (01:52:24):
I'm sorry to interrupt him, and I just well, I'm
thinking thinking of it. The other thing that people say
as they get as they get older, Yeah, as they
put the before something, so they won't say I'm going
to real groovy, they say I'm going to go to
the real groovy. Or so if there's a shop without

(01:52:46):
a that in front of it, and I'm just trying
to think of another example. I'm going to go.

Speaker 18 (01:52:53):
To the peck and save.

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Yeah, I'm not. I'm gonna I'm going to go to
the peck and say I'm going to go exactly, I'm
going to go to the I'm going to go to
the New World. The countdown. I don't know what that's about,
but always sounds quaint.

Speaker 29 (01:53:07):
Yeah, you're right, all right. But you know, the English
language is, it's developed over the years and it has
words from all languages pretty much around the world, a
lot of French for the German. There's some Native American
influence there, like potatoes, and so it's just a big
mish mesh nowadays.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
And I think people try and find a way to
say something that is easier that it feels that it
feels easier.

Speaker 29 (01:53:38):
Yes, yes, how about the Southern is you guys down
the bottom there rolling the ours?

Speaker 3 (01:53:47):
Well, yeah, don't it's a rollout. They say, it's a longer.
Oh it's a longer, Yes, that's per it's peer yeah, yeah,
don't get me started, tom. People feel a bit funny
about that. People if you say it you're not born here,
they can have a go at you Marcus, we say
maths because the shortening of math maths, and we are

(01:54:07):
not American. It's my biggest trigger and unfortunately my children
know it. Marcus, we all say math, but isn't it math? However,
it doesn't feel right without the y s. What are
some other examples when you put that in there? People?
The real groovy Hudle twelve o'clock fourteen away from eleven.

(01:54:31):
If you want to be a part of the show,
be nice to hear from you. I think talking about
math has become a more recent thing. But obviously as
we watch more and more American TV, americanizations are coming
into our language. Oh there's the go here you go?
So telling you about the are telling you about the

(01:54:54):
Alexander Blossom Festival. Great event every year, fantastic, said a
storied passed with Often there was fights between the kind
of the v eight boys from Gore and the shearers
and stuff like that, but seemed pretty It's a big event.
It's a big event in central Otago and extremely well organized,

(01:55:16):
and they have a parade down the mainstreem of the
trucks and it's a big party with dancing and bands
and for every good. But I tell you what I
was impressed with. Now, how's this for New Zealand. I
haven't said this before, and I don't like the people
that are the steampunk people. I think they freaked me
out with their top hats and their teapots. But there
was one person there, right, and I don't know who

(01:55:38):
it was, but she was an Olympic silver medalist. Now
this is something about small town New Zealand or rural
New Zealand. I don't know what it's about. But there
was someone there and she was in her Olympic track

(01:56:00):
suit with her silver medal, and she was showing it
to people and talking to people about it and letting
people have photos of it. And I just thought, wow,
I've never seen anything of that before. But you know,
i'd never seen the medal an Olympico. I just thought,

(01:56:23):
good on you. You know, you've been the repety of
your country and now there you are at the local
fear not in the Miss Blossom Festival, Padget, but just
there in your tracksuit with your medal because you think
people would be interested in seeing it, And boy were
they interested. And people started know what people were saying,
hello to us, You must be a local person. That's

(01:56:44):
known and obviously to Nick. Butcher also got a medal
from Alexander. It wasn't him. I think it must have
been someone from one of the cycling events we got
to silver it. But I just thought, good on her
for just fronting up with your medal and just felt
so relaxed and casual, and I just thought she's stoked
to have it. People are stoked that she's got I

(01:57:04):
just thought it was a wonderful thing to say, tune
up with their metal? Why not Marcus? People especially up
North Core Bluff, the bluff, what's that about? Cheers? Jerry
good point the hawks Bay really triggers some people. That's

(01:57:25):
from Beck's Marcus Brian, from Tucker Langer Tevenport here. I
agree TODAYO has an influence. English has a shortage of pronouns,
so today O speakers often use used when referring to
the plural No he nui Brian. I think he's not

(01:57:47):
from Tucker Lang. I think it's Takapuna, maybe tackling. I
don't know what Tucker Langa is. It's that Devonsport. Ok.
Thank you, it's not a word I've used but heard
before Tackeranger, Thank you for that. What's with people saying
the hawks bay? Is that triggering for people? Ten from eleven?

(01:58:10):
Not your careen for you? There's I think of some
more examples when people put that in front of things
and it sounds weird, but it always instantly makes you
sound like you're from another planet. I think it's mainly
I can't think of anying. I think of the pack
and save off to pack and s off to the
peck and save. Might be wrong about that, but you

(01:58:33):
might have some examples about that and the pluralization. Get
in touch Marcus till twelve if there's any breaking news.
There's been a well, there's a fire in Nelson. Earlier
on was south of Nelson. There's a fire on the
Lewis Pass and a farm. There's been a serious extent

(01:58:54):
otto hunger with cars not be able to get through
and the diversion has got a height limit, so that's
happened also. But beer and that after daylight saving that
there are more accidents and heart attacks because even though

(01:59:19):
it's just an hour. Yeah, increased road accident rate at
the start of daylight saving time and spring, but no
significant effect at the end of daylight saving time in
autumn or fall. There's probably some of you prefer yep.

(01:59:47):
They did surveys from twelve point six million excellent claims
and they looked for they looked through those and they
found that around daylight saving after it there were more accidents. Yep,
So take care of particularly while driving during the first

(02:00:07):
few days after daylight saving time, beginning at two AM.
I don't know if it's it's in the road told
either Marcus the Naki the Blues fifteen to twenty years

(02:00:28):
ago would have been go Blues. Now it's go the Blues, Marcus.
I've often wondered why American teenagers go to prom not
the prom that are the answer to that. Also, talking
Chris Christofferson and greyhound racing, the government has announced their

(02:00:49):
plan of action forty seven things the next days or something,
but one of those is the decision on greyhound racing.
I would say that it will stay because of the
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and his the Winston Peters
and his passion for forms of racing. That would be

(02:01:11):
my take. But I think if it was allowed to continue,
it wouldn't continue for much longer. Maybe five years I
imagine that would be its time frame. I don't know
how many dogs. I don't know how many tracks there.
I think there's one in Monaco. I think there's one
in Fong, and there's one in Vocago. I don't know

(02:01:31):
how many others there are. Someone might know. I'm here
till midnight. By the way, people romance along after twelve.
Get in touch if you want to talk before or
after the news eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two text looking forward to what you've
got to say, Marcus. I have climbed the old fitz

(02:01:52):
Herbert Bridge in Palmeston, four arches. Both sides. People were routing.
I thought they were saying hy but apparently they were
worried about us. Amazing the low level of the Mono
two river from that height. Do get in touch if

(02:02:13):
you want to talk about this thing or anything else,
Marcus eleven todd On and we say we are going
to walk around the mount, or we're going to walk
around Mount Montanui polarization gear is polarized to gears as
and bring your training gears. What about redundancies like ASB

(02:02:37):
bank or PERST identification number number, the pin number or
the ASB bank. Because it's talking and Savings Bank Bank.

Speaker 6 (02:02:53):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3 (02:02:54):
What about all of those things? People just say them
because it seems easier and doesn't sound like they're saying
anything stupid. That would be my take on that one.
How are you going people, if you want to talk,
my name is Marcus Edil twelve And as I said,
romance from midnight. We're talk also about Chris Christofferson. He
has died. At eighty eight. The fire appears to be

(02:03:14):
out and Nelson, Well, that says that fires have been
firecrib been caught to several large fires. That's a worry.
Haven't got any more information about that. Yeah, several large fires,
multiple sheds. I think it's several fires at the same place.

(02:03:40):
But that's a worry because we know there's always the
there's form there when it comes to fires. I'll be
back after the news. People. If you want to be
a part of the show, Oh, eight hundred and eighty,
ten eighty, if you want to text nine two nine
two here till twelve, looking forward to hearing from saying
those texts are also on nine to nine. To catch

(02:04:01):
us in.

Speaker 1 (02:04:10):
Call eight hundred and eighty for some after hours check.
Marcus Lush nights on news talks.

Speaker 2 (02:04:17):
It'd be when whoa outside to the table?

Speaker 3 (02:04:24):
That s whenna.

Speaker 2 (02:04:31):
Even more they maybe tied. It seems I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:04:40):
Far away.

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
One never one rior because I away by your side.

Speaker 3 (02:04:58):
We are talking about the wrong pluralizations. Yeah, so get
in touch about that. Also, Peeled what that in front
of things? And Eon says Marcus. My parents say they
are going to the farmers, not just farmers. But I

(02:05:18):
believe back in the that was officially called of the farmers.
I don't know if that's the truth or not. People,
but thank you Marcus Rotswong with the old arithmetic instead
of math. Why not have ki we summertime as in
the UK with British summertime, and stop being predanding about
extra s Leslie, get in touch eight hundred and eighty

(02:05:40):
ten eighty head or twelvel cent about Chris Christofferson and
dog racing and smoke alarms. Those new ones you just
stick to the roof are much much better. Let's hope
they stay there, Pauline Marcus, welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 23 (02:05:58):
Gears and gear. If I'm driving to the basketball court,
I am using my gears in the car to take
my gear to the basketball court. Instead of using gear,
they could use kit and there wouldn't be any problem then,
would there?

Speaker 3 (02:06:18):
It depends if you're driving in one gear. We got
an automatic gear gears gear okay, yep, so where's that
with other gear? The gear gear gear gar gear gear
is plurized. I don't heard anyone say bring your training
gears though, have you.

Speaker 23 (02:06:33):
I have heard someone say gears, but it didn't sound right.

Speaker 20 (02:06:42):
Okay.

Speaker 23 (02:06:42):
Gear is in the sense of your kit for sport
or whatever. It's gear. In my car, I have gears
which I change in order for the car to move
forward and backwards. But it's it's that's gears with an S.
But I think it's probably also what your what you

(02:07:06):
hear when you are brought up, Yes, and you get
used to hearings.

Speaker 3 (02:07:12):
You'd be driver's license, not driver license.

Speaker 23 (02:07:16):
Driver uh drivers, So it's driver apostrophe is license because
of there's the license.

Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
Of the driver, and you'd be elemant. The daylight saving
is singular.

Speaker 23 (02:07:29):
Daylight saving years old school, Pauline, Yes, I absolutely am.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:07:36):
Mark, probably old school. Get in touch, Marcus. All my
life we have planned for New Year? What do people
now call it? New Years? I love New Years should
New Years be plural? We went there New Years. We
had a few beers. Oh, I like that is New

(02:07:58):
Years plural new Years? I think both New Year's Day.
Oh yeah, Happy New Years. I don't know if that's
about New Years. That's got me confused. Actually, Marcus Farmers

(02:08:18):
was originally the Farmers Trading Companies, so obviously some people
call it the Farmers the Farmers. Do you want to
be a part of the show. My name is Marcus. Welcome.
Remember it's early, still going to be a stup a,
but later it's ten past eleven, although for you, Karen,
it's ten past ten. Karen's our one list that doesn't

(02:08:41):
do daylight saving, so for her it's still old school time.
For those of us that work my shift, we love
this time of daylight saving because it means that we
our life becomes an hour more normal. I'll been bird

(02:09:04):
by ha past eleven old time? Would you have us
twelve current time? No, I don't know how that goes.
Get in touch. Just be hearing from your Chris Christofferson
also and dog racing and anything else. My name is
Marcus hddled twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Get in touch. Oh, you might have been at the Hacker,

(02:09:27):
the world record for the hacker.

Speaker 6 (02:09:29):
How was that?

Speaker 3 (02:09:31):
What I want to know was I didn't really fit
in with the used cycle. How noisy was it? Was
it extraordinary to be a part of.

Speaker 9 (02:09:46):
It?

Speaker 3 (02:09:46):
Was hard to get the idea from watching the videos.
Didn't seem that noisy. Yeah, that's something you might want
to talk about. Also, when it comes to grammar, I'm
the I'm very much of the thought did anyone die?

Speaker 12 (02:10:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:10:05):
Therefore, in the scheme of things, I'm pretty chilled out
about it. Bad grammar. No one dies from bad grammar.
Maybe they will.

Speaker 22 (02:10:20):
Hi, Bruce, Hello, Hey Marcus. I just thought about the
apostrophe es. It's like, well, is it Marcus. That doesn't
mean it's many Marcus that many people called marcuts. It
means it's Marcus. So it's pretty straightforward.

Speaker 3 (02:10:37):
What's this with.

Speaker 22 (02:10:40):
Using the apostrophe?

Speaker 3 (02:10:41):
Yes, who's talking about apostophees again?

Speaker 22 (02:10:46):
Yu La schooler?

Speaker 3 (02:10:48):
Oh about Yeah? I thought, yeah, we're talking to about
the polurarization of daylight savings?

Speaker 22 (02:10:53):
Correct, correct, But it's just perialization generally, so it's macs. Anyway,
I'll try and be very quick because you're probably, but
what what I was ringing about. I just thought they
come up because I heard that while I was you know, A, yeah,
it's not a sequential number of Bruce's or Marcuses or whatever.

(02:11:13):
It's Marcus of Marcus or of Bruce, which is singer.
But no, no, it's about today and particularly international news
like the BBC. It's just been massive about I don't
have the ongoing cut of for sixcent cut of EXOS

(02:11:38):
tax on tobacco products is calling it. You know, it's
basically very very high nexteen tobacco and the main impression
I get.

Speaker 3 (02:11:48):
Hang hang on, Bruce, what are you what are you
talking about?

Speaker 13 (02:11:52):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (02:11:54):
And it's sort of dominated the media, national radio and
BBC clicker as the current government or coalition has maintaining
two remove fifty percent of the EXOS tech on imported tobacco.
So basically the argument is that Philip Morris, the big

(02:12:15):
tobacco company, will gain and New Zealand will pay because
we'll have more cases of I mean, the evidence about
the health problems of tobacco are indis beautiful, disappoint in history.

Speaker 3 (02:12:32):
Yeah, but that's yeah, okay, but that's where that you
came in with the whole polarization for him that that's
a strange kind of a segue.

Speaker 13 (02:12:39):
Oh, I was sort of.

Speaker 22 (02:12:40):
I was sort of on the whole thing while I
heard that.

Speaker 3 (02:12:43):
Oh okay, yeah, but you understaying you rung up to
talk about grammar right, Well, no.

Speaker 22 (02:12:50):
Actually bring up to mention the exo sex, but sort
of hood on the way.

Speaker 3 (02:12:55):
Okay, I live it there, Bruce, But thank you. Fifteen
past eleven Marcus. Did you end up seeing the AFL
Grand Final? Yeah, I started my spell with at the
beginning of the show. I thought it was from what
was supposed to be a year that AFL made huge
inroads with great crowds. I thought that I couldn't work
at what went on for you. One that didn't watch it.
The Aussie Rules Final between the Brisbane Lions and the

(02:13:18):
Sydney Swans.

Speaker 12 (02:13:19):
It was just.

Speaker 3 (02:13:23):
It was interesting for the first quarter, but then it
became so one sided. It was it was dispiriting to
watch and I couldn't work out how two of the
greatest teams in the competition it could be such a
one sided match, because certainly the NRAL Final is not
going to be that with Penrith versus Melbourne it was
unbelievably one sided. And maybe someone that knows about it,

(02:13:48):
knows about the match, can tell me why what is
the nature of AFL that then two teams that have
fought hard all season and seemed to be equally matching
and have a close competition, one could be so much
better than the other, because it seemed to me it
was Yeah, I couldn't work it out. They talked about

(02:14:14):
playing that Sydney Swans had made some marginal calls. Maybe
there were players that were carrying injuries that went in there,
but surely there were that many players on the field.
One player engured wouldn't make that much difference. But I
don't know the game, so if anyone could explain that
to me, I bef you're curious. You might have watched
it yourself. Marcus, Please more info about Fire and Nelson

(02:14:35):
where and what not? Clear on info? Thanks Marcus. I
hate people who use learnings, no such word. Idiots use
it the idiots, Marcus. Old people say FTC for farmers,
not to be confused with FTFP used by illmented youngsters. Marcus.

(02:15:00):
When John Key was pa but would really grind my
gears when people called them John Keys. I think people
seem to take great delight in mispronouncing Prime minister's names.
That it was with John Keyes, that it was just
in there doing they call it just Center, and now
they do it with Christopher Luxton. They put a t
in there. Taxi or taxis. Someone want some more information

(02:15:25):
about the fire. I've got that information for you people
eighteen past eleven. Maybe I haven't got I had the
information earlier. I'll bring that information to you people. Fire
Nelson multiple fires actually in one building. Fire Cruise battle

(02:15:52):
large Nelson fire. Fire Crews have been called to several
large fires in the Nelson suburb of Richmond this afternoon.
A fire emergency spokes we said cruise were called to
model shed on fire on Pattern Road and Hope, just
south of Nelson. Too many suburbs of Nelson. They say
it's Nelson, they say that's Richmond, and there's that's Hope.

(02:16:13):
The blaze was well involved when crews arrived just after
six pm. Fire crews were at the scene but have
since produced to three. The fire is now in a
control and fire cruis are working that dampen down hotspots.
It's quite big on Facebook also, so there you go.

(02:16:35):
That's the information there for you eighteen past eleven strong
winds there, so they'll be worried that would catch out
and get around getting touched by name is Marcus Hidle
twelve m Marcus. People often pluralize shops like nol Leamings
and Harvey Normans. They do too. That's what I wanted

(02:16:56):
to say, no Leamings, Harvey Normans or some people say
the Nole Leamings or the Harvey Normans. It's like the
real groovy. Just think what other shops people pluralize, whether
the Briscoes and they wouldn't say that Briscoes the Warehouse.
They wouldn't pluralize that the kmarts. No get in touched

(02:17:22):
nineteen past eleven ketch it or twelve twenty three past
eleven high Ben, It's Marcus. Welcome evening, Ben, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (02:17:30):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (02:17:30):
Ben? Thanks?

Speaker 17 (02:17:32):
Hey, I've just tuned in. I'm my way home from work,
so I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but Grandma,
that grinds my gears. Some think anything nothink there's no
bloody K yet and someone already mentioned it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:50):
No, but I'm saying there's no K yet. It could
mean enough people use it to probably become accepted.

Speaker 17 (02:17:55):
Right, I don't say that.

Speaker 18 (02:17:57):
I guess so that way.

Speaker 17 (02:17:59):
Everyone does, though. My grandma, Oh my gosh, it's terrible
for it.

Speaker 6 (02:18:03):
What's she say?

Speaker 17 (02:18:05):
My grandma does all the time. Some think nothing. I
just it gets me. It rarely gets.

Speaker 3 (02:18:12):
Is it a recent thing?

Speaker 16 (02:18:14):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 19 (02:18:15):
I mean, I've never.

Speaker 17 (02:18:16):
Done it, but it seems like I've encountered it most
of my life. People chucking the chucking the K in
there after the instead of the G. And I just
don't get it. I just don't get it.

Speaker 3 (02:18:25):
It's K instead of n G.

Speaker 4 (02:18:27):
Is it?

Speaker 17 (02:18:28):
Well, no, think anything nothing, So there's definitely an N
in there, but a K instead of the G. And
I bet if you're if you're sort of listening out,
you'll just hear it all the time and it does
my nutting.

Speaker 3 (02:18:41):
But it's a K instead of an n G.

Speaker 18 (02:18:43):
Right, Well, no, there's an N.

Speaker 17 (02:18:46):
So there's an n K instead of an n.

Speaker 3 (02:18:47):
G all the time. I see what you're saying.

Speaker 17 (02:18:52):
I just wanted to get it off my chest to
feel a bit better.

Speaker 3 (02:18:54):
Now appreciate it. But we're actually have we been talking
about and we've just been talking about the plurization of
daylight savings and how that's evolving. I don't know where
people going with that. Hard k Yeah, I reckon the
thing with the language, it's best not to get annoyed.
Picky battles. I reckon, and this life picky battles. A
lot of the stuff's not worth gett annoyed about. Hi,

(02:19:16):
Kevin Marcus.

Speaker 4 (02:19:17):
Welcome, get a Marcus first time call it here from you, Kevin. Yeah,
you're still talking about ground racing.

Speaker 3 (02:19:30):
Yeah, you're more than welcome talk about anything, but yeah,
we are talking about that.

Speaker 4 (02:19:34):
Okay. Well, my father used to do race the live
here and he used to talk about it with me
all the time when I was a kid. Have you
ever heard of the live here?

Speaker 3 (02:19:46):
He used to what did you say, mister, what your
father used to want?

Speaker 4 (02:19:51):
My father used to race grehounds? And he always used
to call it the live here because they actually used
to use.

Speaker 3 (02:19:59):
His When was that.

Speaker 4 (02:20:04):
This long time ago? Probably back in the I would say,
probably back in the forties or fifties.

Speaker 3 (02:20:14):
And that's in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (02:20:16):
Yeap. In New Zealand, they used to do it in
the wire rapper okay, and they used to go and
catch the hears in the gorse with nets, and then they.

Speaker 13 (02:20:27):
Used to.

Speaker 4 (02:20:30):
Yeah, they used to set up a race. It was
normally a straight, a straight race. It wasn't an oval,
and they used to let the grounds out and they
used to chase the hears. And he used to talk
to me about it all the time.

Speaker 3 (02:20:43):
And would they control their hair at all?

Speaker 4 (02:20:48):
Well, the only control was there was a fence on
each side and they lined the greyhounds up and soon
as the hare saw the grounds, they pretty well ran
one way. Yeah, yeah, so that was they called it.

Speaker 3 (02:21:06):
My understanding that sport was called coursing, and then then
it evolved into horses into greyhound racing.

Speaker 4 (02:21:14):
Yes, I'm pretty sure that's out where. Yeah, they did
away with the hears, then went to an artificial here
that went around and oval.

Speaker 28 (02:21:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:21:25):
I think I was fully aware of that, because I
think I don't think it's been around that long, the
actual greyhound racing in this country. But yeah, okay, I hadn't.

Speaker 12 (02:21:36):
Heard of.

Speaker 4 (02:21:39):
Coursing. Is that what it was called? He always called
it the life here, But that's obviously what it's called,
don't you.

Speaker 3 (02:21:46):
I guess it's a way to control control his Well,
they slightly crawled.

Speaker 4 (02:21:52):
Yeah, he really used to talk talk about a lot,
and he passed away quite a few years ago. Now, yeah,
I just found it was quite interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:22:02):
Did he race animals?

Speaker 4 (02:22:08):
Yep, yep, you have a couple of grounds.

Speaker 21 (02:22:11):
Okay, yep back in the day.

Speaker 4 (02:22:15):
But yeah, I just thought i'd throw my take on it.

Speaker 3 (02:22:18):
Really appreciate that, Kevin. Nice to hear from you. Good stuff,
Thank you. Twenty six past eleven. Still wouldn't mind someone's
appraisal on the AFL final. Why was that so bad?
And what's the nature of the sport like that? When
it becomes so one sided? When this is the premiere event,
the Grand Final that was hugely disappointed about. And but

(02:22:39):
that's you know, I guess it can't always be a
close thing. But in fact, every time I've watched the AFL,
it's been one sided. Now, I've only probably watched four
or five games in my life, So yeah, I am
prepared to say that it might be my thing, but

(02:23:00):
you've re surprised by it. Head and touch on hurdle twelve.
If you want to talk, kelvin, good evening.

Speaker 11 (02:23:06):
Very good evening to your marke is if I made
three brief wordings. The first one I remember one day
seeing a bus and it had on it that was
from hawk Bay h A w k A hawk Bay,
which I understand is correct?

Speaker 4 (02:23:22):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (02:23:24):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (02:23:24):
Because if you're going to say hawks you know, yes,
it should evidently have an apostrophe.

Speaker 13 (02:23:29):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (02:23:31):
Now the second thing mount Manga Nui mount Mount Nui, Yes,
because Mangui is Mount Neui, isn't it? And the last
thing countdown neir core wools they have on their return
going on their counter, you know, for a certain number
of items, in other words, a quick queue sort of thing.

(02:23:54):
Count Then Wallers say less items, which is incorrect, and
New World say fewer items, which is correct.

Speaker 3 (02:24:06):
Wonder why Countdown would go with the wrong one.

Speaker 11 (02:24:11):
Well, New Zealand is small, evidently of netwits and income poops.
And what is the one that ramon users on numb skulls.

Speaker 3 (02:24:26):
They're everywhere and no doubt you've pointed that out to
the people at Countdown. Yes, how'd that go down? Calvin?

Speaker 23 (02:24:34):
Very very well?

Speaker 11 (02:24:36):
First of all, I didn't know what the hell I
was talking about, couldn't understand what I was talking about,
And after explaining it.

Speaker 3 (02:24:43):
How'd that conversation go Kelvin, tell me how the conversation goes.
I'll be the person that check out at countdown.

Speaker 11 (02:24:49):
I was asking a question.

Speaker 3 (02:24:52):
Talk to me directly.

Speaker 11 (02:24:55):
Today, I said, good day, Luscious.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
Well you the.

Speaker 9 (02:25:02):
Wrong.

Speaker 3 (02:25:02):
You don't know my name. I'm the person that countdown.
Good sir, How's things going?

Speaker 11 (02:25:08):
I said, I told him, how did I start it?
I pointed to the sign and I said that sign
should be fewer, not less. And then they said, what
do you mean? So I said that again. I said,
the correct English is fewer items. They still didn't really

(02:25:32):
know what I was talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:25:35):
This is I guess it's not really their job, is
it to defend the language choices of I mean, that's
it's not them that's written that, is it.

Speaker 11 (02:25:47):
No, No, it's a shame though, so Ramon was was correct.
A week ago, he introduced the term numb skulls.

Speaker 3 (02:25:59):
Oh wait one hundred eighty twenty eight to twelve. Suet's
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 30 (02:26:03):
Ohho, Marcus, I'm sorry I missed the beginning of the
show when you're talking about the AFL, But I was
really disappointed with the game, and you know me, I'm
a mad mad you know, I've just you know, loved
the game, but I was just really disappointed. But that's
often the case with the Grand Final. You can have
some of your best games in those preliminary finals in

(02:26:27):
the lead up, and Sydney would probably they'd come back
with such a vengeance in a couple of the games
prior to that. But Brisbane Lions were I think fifth,
and they had to play every single week to get
into the final. And they've got an amazing coach, Chris Fagan.
I'm from Tasmania and Chris Fagan's from Tasmania and he's

(02:26:50):
he's never played in an AFL team, he's never been
a player in VFL or AFL, and he's just got
this amazing way of galvanizing galvanizing this team. And so
I just think that Sydney just failed to show up.

Speaker 16 (02:27:08):
They were the favorites because look.

Speaker 3 (02:27:10):
So I watched it, and then I went searching for
the reporters and the journalists and the and the analyzers
take on the game. Unfortunately, a lot of that stuff
now with the Melbourne papers as paywalled.

Speaker 8 (02:27:24):
Yes, yeah, are you telling me that?

Speaker 3 (02:27:28):
Are you telling me that? How many people on a team?

Speaker 30 (02:27:34):
Oh yeah, jew, yes, yeah, So it seems.

Speaker 3 (02:27:43):
As though it's not the individual's skill, it's how they
play together as a team and how they gelled.

Speaker 30 (02:27:49):
And they just didn't gell on the day. And as
soon as they started creeping away, now we lulled into
it was thinking of that they were going to have
this big comeback, because that's been the story of the season.
These teams have had this great comeback and this they
seemed to lull in the third quarter and then the
fourth quarter is really where you fight it out, and
they just seemed to just lack energy. And I said, oh,

(02:28:12):
this is so boring. But but what's what Brisbane did
the team that won, was that he would have They
were just so strong the whole way through. But they
kept doing these little little passes and when you get
a mark, when you catch the ball when it's been kicked,
that's a mark and it's a free kick. And so
they kept doing this up up the up the oval,

(02:28:34):
and of course they'd get to a place where they're
right in front of the goals and could kick it straight.
It was windy on the day, but they would would
sort of seem to allow for that and their kicking
with straight. Sydney, they missed a couple of good ones
right at the beginning, and you know, only kicked points,
which is one point when you kick between what we

(02:28:56):
say through the needle, it's six points and through the middle.
But they so they mucked around and they just seemed
to lose momentum and they never really regained that where
there as Brisbane lines. Their coach has always been able
to sort of galvanize them at halftime and when they
come back from halftime, you think, here we go, and
they just didn't come out again. It was just like,

(02:29:17):
oh gosh, Sydney, you just didn't show up on the day.

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
So it's one of those sports where.

Speaker 30 (02:29:25):
It's psychology, you know, it's you know, those people who
are brainy about sports psychology could say why the team
didn't show up because they're perfect, they've got those skills.
But I think that Brisbane have, you know, have a
tenacity and an excellent coach and he just sort of

(02:29:46):
has a way of just bringing them all together and
they just they just nailed everything on the day and
there were a couple of really good players that just
got free. You know, it could market and once they
got close to the goals and you market and you've
got a free chick. You can't shut that down. And
the city many players went in front of you know,

(02:30:08):
when you go for a mark, when you go up
to jump up to catch the ball. They went in
front of the players and seeing stupid little things like that.
So it was a very frustrating, boring kind of came
to ward. So we had such hype for grand final
and the sort of fell flat. But some of those
preliminary games were absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 3 (02:30:30):
So there are close come from behind victors and things
like that.

Speaker 30 (02:30:32):
I always love, always love a close game.

Speaker 4 (02:30:35):
Yep.

Speaker 30 (02:30:36):
Yeah, so my scene wasn't in it.

Speaker 3 (02:30:39):
But the grand finals they'd been.

Speaker 22 (02:30:43):
Not the worst.

Speaker 30 (02:30:44):
But you often it will often go that way that
you have a really good preliminary games, you have good preliminaries,
and grand final can if you have a look at
the history of results of Grand finals, it can often
fall flat like that. Just shame because there's just so
much hype. And you saw the crowd. You know, one

(02:31:05):
hundreds wasn't in the in the stadium, and some of
them arrive at nine o'clock in the morning. The game
isn't till the afternoon, but they arrived early for general
seating to queue up and run and get this seat,
and that's why they have like you know, Katie period
performing and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:31:22):
So okay, appreciate that. So yeah, disappointing. Thank you, Trifor.
It's Marcus Welcome high River.

Speaker 19 (02:31:29):
Yeah, gooda.

Speaker 31 (02:31:30):
I'm on top of the Brenduran Hills heading towards one Gray.
I saw a bright light in the sky of a
fireball coming down towards Fong Gerray as one if anyone
else saw the same thing to one of my one
of my mates, which is a truck driver, he saw
the same thing.

Speaker 3 (02:31:49):
Okay, And and look, my look is a website.

Speaker 20 (02:31:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:32:00):
How long ago was it?

Speaker 31 (02:32:02):
About five minutes. I actually rang the police as well
because I wasn't sure of the plane going down or
what it was, because it had a bright green look
to it and it was like a ball of fire
going downwards. I was approaching the Branduran Hills at the
time talking to my mate on the phone and I said, shit,
can look at that And you said, yeah, I saw

(02:32:23):
it too. It was a bright green fireball.

Speaker 3 (02:32:28):
Okay, I'm trying to find something that there's something called
meteor map. It was meteor. It was north of the Brandowans.

Speaker 31 (02:32:38):
Yeah, well when I saw it was just south of
the Brandurans heading towards fung ger Ray, heading north. But
I was on a downwards angle, a slide downwards angle
enough stop at the lookout on the Branduran Hills here
to see if I can see anything glowing in the distance.
I can't see anything, whether it's impacted in the general

(02:32:59):
area up here or further up.

Speaker 3 (02:33:03):
Yes, because part of this website is all about finding them,
because refew meteorites and New Zealand have been found.

Speaker 31 (02:33:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:33:09):
Yeah, so, and what they do is they they do
it with triangulation, with cameras on if you had a
camera on your car, you have a web camera, a camera.

Speaker 31 (02:33:22):
I don't, but it's what I saw, and plus another
truck drive i'd seen as well. I've never seen anything
like it.

Speaker 3 (02:33:33):
Never, and you'll be doing a lot of time.

Speaker 31 (02:33:36):
I've seen I've seen stars flying through the sky in
that shooting stars, but never anything as bright in as
close it was, like I was about to take I've
been twenty miles on the ground.

Speaker 3 (02:33:51):
Yeah, yeah, I am. I am just trying to get
some information. It's really late to load this website and
I can't see I feel I can help me out
with one else might know where they So was it
going north west? To sound?

Speaker 31 (02:34:12):
It was going north?

Speaker 3 (02:34:16):
Okay, yeah, I can't. I can't use the website well
enough unfortunately, so I can't see who us have seen it?
But where was? How far away was your your mates
that saw it?

Speaker 31 (02:34:34):
He's he would have been around about Dome Valley, which
is just past walkwork.

Speaker 3 (02:34:39):
Yeah, yeah, familiar with that.

Speaker 19 (02:34:40):
Yeah, okay, yep, yep.

Speaker 31 (02:34:42):
And of course I'm patent and Brian doing hills he
saw it and he said it changed to a bright
green color. Nice sort the same thing.

Speaker 28 (02:34:54):
I'm just wanting a.

Speaker 3 (02:34:55):
Few of Someone says they saw that over Auckland heading north,
So some other people are reporting that.

Speaker 31 (02:35:02):
So it has also been seen. Well then it's not
like after all, having got a good coffee then so
it was for real? Yeah, because when I saw it,
it looked reasonably close to the ground and it was
definitely going to impact somewhere.

Speaker 3 (02:35:24):
Yeah, it's just hard for me to find the website. Yeah,
work out. Yeah, I think they've got cameras everywhere too,
so they can Oh this might be better. I've got
something here. Now they've got their own cameras that they're
filming them. Yeah, but yeah, it's hard for me to

(02:35:49):
find my way around. We I'll see if I get
some information. Trevior, thanks for coming through. Hopefully make some
news about that. Eighteen to twelve six. This seems to
be a strong one that's come down. But yeah, as
I say, I'll stay away from this website because I'm
not getting the information I require. But yeah, try to

(02:36:09):
see if I can find some cameras. Decimke coo footage
of it. Steve, it's Marcus Greaving.

Speaker 13 (02:36:12):
Welcome again. I see it just added to Who's a
review of the APL It has gone very well. It's
the island over here in the eighties and we'll see
a few games as a hawseball man, but it's it's
an amazing spectacle when you when you're there, you don't
see it live like the MCG is just just an
amazing place. It's huge. Well I can't see him, you know,

(02:36:35):
it's anyway. But with the game, it's yes, a game
of kicking and skills there, but it's well, it's aideen
players on each side. I see six guides run around
us in a change and they average about aiding each
player averages aiden kilometers a game. That's yeah, it's well,

(02:36:56):
it just doesn't stop. And but you can get a
game like true said, it's just one side. It's just
a bounce to the ball. Like the balls not big
as the rugby balls are still in shape. But it's yeah,
it is. It's a great game. But you really got
to be there to see a game to really great. Really, Yeah,

(02:37:16):
I was. I was right into it. I was over there.
I sort of just keep an eye on it now,
but like the game on half time, I said that, yeah,
so yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:37:30):
Apparently you talk about how far they run, Steve. I
was talking to a rugby referee who was telling me
to get referees for the a f L. They've got
to get competitive long distance runners because you run so
far as a referee.

Speaker 13 (02:37:44):
Exactly, Well, that's a good example. It's huge. I have
to bring to the cricket. They're going to bring the
ropes and for the boundaries, right, and that's how and
that's that's what they're running around on. It's just it's
just massive. And you were over there, markets going to
MCG you're there.

Speaker 3 (02:38:03):
We'll get to match one day.

Speaker 13 (02:38:05):
Yeah, but mc to get them. I was there when
Crege was on in the I was the other day
Capel Bowl and smelling under arm. Yeah it was really wow.
There we go okay, yeah, yeah that was pretty golds backing.
That haven't been a great game up.

Speaker 3 (02:38:21):
Tell me, Steve, how did the AFL players do? They
do a lot of track running or distance running to
get that fitness.

Speaker 13 (02:38:29):
I it's very, very very professional Melbourne. It's just it's
all I do. I mean, I was over there and
I think we was on eighty nine. I think, I
think I can't remember that. I was over there and
a little little free of the paper down at the
bottom of the thing. It was all it was all AFL,

(02:38:52):
all rules here. So there.

Speaker 3 (02:38:55):
It's just incredible nice from you, Steve. Thank you. Yeah.
It wasn't much of a spectable, that's for sure. Thirteen

I am, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:40:33):
Hi.

Speaker 20 (02:40:34):
I saw that meteorite come down in Camo just outside
of Long Array. How long ago or about it would
have been about ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (02:40:46):
Now, okay, and tell me which direction it was going.

Speaker 20 (02:40:50):
Well, it came straight towards the ground. I was looking
out the window and it actually looked like it hit
the ground somewhere I'm in Camo, but it was further up.
It was so bright you just got my attention.

Speaker 3 (02:41:06):
Would it be one of the brighter ones you've seen ever?

Speaker 20 (02:41:09):
I thought it was some fireworking that had gone off,
but it came down really fast.

Speaker 3 (02:41:18):
Okay, I'll see if I get some more information. Tia,
thanks so much for that. Hold your horses be with
you soon.

Speaker 16 (02:41:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:41:23):
I can't see any reports online of that, but I
might be looking in the wrong places. It's always a chance. Sounder,
it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening, Oh.

Speaker 25 (02:41:32):
Good evening, Marcus. Today I was in touch with Auckland
Observatory and it was about the second Moon the asteroid,
and he said that the tetlescope they have would not
be strong enough to pick up details of the asteroid.

(02:41:53):
It would just be a dot. But he did say
to me, look in the far east or directly east,
and there is a comet passing and there will be
flashings from the comet. So I am wondering if what
people are citing the flashings from this comet.

Speaker 3 (02:42:17):
Does sound a bit more like a fire ball to me.
But I'm hearing you, hm hmmm, were you keen to say,
were you keen to see the second moon.

Speaker 13 (02:42:27):
Yes, I was, Yeah, I'm going to travel.

Speaker 3 (02:42:31):
Up we're from You're going to travel up to the observatory.

Speaker 25 (02:42:35):
Just from Hamilton. Yeah, I was going to travel up
to the observatory and.

Speaker 12 (02:42:43):
And view it.

Speaker 25 (02:42:44):
But he said, popular belief is that we can view
it from our telescope. But he said, honestly, he said,
it is not strong enough. It would just be a dot.

Speaker 3 (02:42:57):
Well, amazing that you were so interested today.

Speaker 25 (02:43:01):
Yeah, well I am interested in that sort of thing.

Speaker 20 (02:43:06):
Yeah, yeah, so I.

Speaker 3 (02:43:10):
Kind of it was a bit cheeky to call it
a second move when it was so tiny.

Speaker 5 (02:43:14):
Yeah, yeah, it is.

Speaker 25 (02:43:17):
It is a bit of a cheap really, I suppose,
but it is.

Speaker 6 (02:43:20):
It is a.

Speaker 25 (02:43:23):
Particle in the evening sky, I suppose, so they shouldn't
be there. But it's not really a second mode. I
wouldn't closify it an Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:43:40):
Oh that was good that there was someone there at
the observatory to answer your phone call. That's got me excited.

Speaker 25 (02:43:44):
Anyway, Well, they didn't answer. I left a message and
they've rung back two days later. I was ever so
grateful that he'd rung back. And when he said view
in the east there is a comet passing. So that's
interesting for people to you. Yeah, so I'll leave you

(02:44:08):
with that, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (02:44:09):
Really appreciate your calling, Sandra, thank you so much for that.
