Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from News Talks,
that'd be.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Eight eight greetings, welcome Marcus till twelve. I hope you
are good. I'll be serving a number of masters on
the show tonight. Probably the greatest master will be you
out there listening and keep you updating across what's happening
with the weather. I don't know what's going to happen.
That's the thing about the weather. You don't know what's
going to happen. However, some of you will be experiencing

(00:35):
power outages and some of you will be relying on
the radio to get that information because you won't get
the information forywhere else because you won't have the Internet
and you won't have electricity, and you can't do on
the TV. So if you've got your transistor, I will
keep you updated with what's going on. Yeah. So that's
one of the missions for tonight is if you are

(00:57):
someone that needs information, I will get that information to
you via the public broadcast of the radio. Because if
you're wanting information, no doubt the person down the road
will also be wanting inf So if you are out
of power and want to know when it's expected to
be back on what's going on. Probably your best bet
is to text on nine two nine two. I presumably

(01:21):
have charge on your phone because you will be someone
that's cautious and will have charged your phone because I
realize most of you I'll be able to ring because
you won't be able to ring because phones don't work
now in the power Go So if you want information
about your power cup will be all across that and
the next four hours to I will bring you any
information I can. I've got the three I've got the

(01:42):
three different news services live feeds up, so I'll bring
you any information that happens. However, and I say this
during any weather event, and no one knows how good
or bad this is going to turn out. But we're
talking about winds at one fifty one twenty, the tramps
on the roof one fifty Wow, that's more than that.

(02:07):
So yeah, no one knows quite what's going to happen
for the next two days, three days. But I suspect
the people listening in part partaking in this show will
know more than anyone, because we've got people everywhere. So

(02:28):
if you've got updates on the weather, if you've got questions.
If you've got concerns, this is the place we can
do it all. You can ask questions, you can tell
us what's going on. Obviously at nighttime it's harder to
work out things like surface flooding and stuff because you
can't see. But the situations with roads are in, passable
trees are down, anything like that. This is the first

(02:48):
port of call. Let us know, and we will let
others know, including our newsroom. Yeah, and maybe you just
want to bring up and say, gee, she's pelting down,
or boy, I haven't seen winds like this since Bowler,
or haven't seen rains like this since Gabrielle. And although
things gusts one twenty or higher predicted, and the moderate

(03:16):
rain appears to be from Cape Ryanga down to Ahipada,
then down the east coast of the North Island as
far as it's hard to tell from the map, I'd
say as far as Matakana. So that's where it's raining heavily,

(03:39):
and this will change as that moves down. By the way,
they've closed the Gannet colony track at Mudaway. I don't
know that's for the people or for the Ganets. I
guess the Gannets would be respecting the track closure, would
they there we go? The Ganet track is closed, although
I don't think people will be heading for the Ganet

(04:00):
track tonight. But get in touch you've got anything else. Hey,
it's really blowing really badly out you added to south.
The power lines are swinging really badly and the lights
have been flicking on and off and on and off
and on and off. If you've got the updates about
what's happening with the weather, do let us know. And

(04:26):
the Facebook posts from Top Energy, I think I pretty
much said what's happening there. It says our teams will
continue to respond to emmergency call lights overnight to make
damage parts the networks safe with the full restoration if
it's resuming as soon as it's safe to do so.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
We encourage you to stay up to date via our
Top Energy Outage center or by calling us on eight
hundred and eight sixty seven three sixty three. Well that's
no good if you've got their cell phone charges at
once again the same, Please treat power lines as live
at all times. That's the roundup of what's happening. If
you've got anything to add to ded, have people already
been stuck in perfect for eleven hours. They must have

(05:08):
been with State Highway too. I think it is other
people have turned around and gone back or gone another way.
I know there probably isn't really another way, but yes,
get in touch. My name is Marcus Welcome. Oh eight
one hundred and eighty nine to nine to the text.
You've got thing to add about this weather event that's
happening as it comes down the country. It might be

(05:30):
a day or two. It happens, it's not, it doesn't.
It doesn't appear to be like Gabriel. It's free, kind
of sudden and impactful. It appears to be a builder,
a slow builder. But get in touch with you on talk.
My name is Marcus Welcome. Even it's Marcus Welcome. Good evening,
Oh are yeah good? Even yourself?

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Ye're not too bad?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well can you tell me.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
It's not much rain? It's about forty knots in the bay.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Which by which which by even?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah sure, okay, yep.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's where I normally hang out.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Everyone secured all their boats.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Oh, it's been pretty quiet here today. Not many people
like to come out when it's just choppy.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, so sea's already quite choppy, is it. Oh yeah,
is it rained much?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, it was raining a bit earlier on, but it's
not too good. There's no rain at the moment, so.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It feels like it feels like it's pretty much. I
think it's coming down to about fun at as. It's
got a way to come before it kind of hits there,
isn't it.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, there's fifty five knots of three trees, so starting.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
To get up with it.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, how are you getting there? You're getting that off
the internet?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
No, that's on VH now casting.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, if you no boats out there?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Though?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Are there no boats out.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, no one's reportting on maritime radio there at sea
or anything.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
I haven't been listening.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Actually, okay, well you stay stay stay in touch, even
if you've got any other updates.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
He worked in Cycli and Balla.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yes, you know pretty time.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Really see one of those ones that doesn't think it's
going to happen amount to much.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh, I think we'll get a ba right, But you know,
fisherman like me work in Cyclon and Baala, we don't
sort of get too worried about the weather.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I think they said it was the it's the windiest
that it's been since twenty seventeen. Whatever that means. I
think they said it's the windiest it's going to have
been since twenty seventeen.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, well I've never heard them talk on now casting
seventy knots. Okay, that's what they're dog in seventy knots.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
So what's that in case that one one twenty converaring.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Matt, I think probably what you were saying one twenty
was it?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, okay, good to hear from you, even thinks that
twenty four past day. Keep those details coming through. Also,
I'm curiously about those people stuck in traffic. It seems
to be in a long wake there between Napier and
Widor Marcus. The zoos might be putting animals in safe
shelves for the night and day. Yes, that's right, they
could stampede. Did you see the elephants in the zoo America?
There was a quake and all the elephants gathered around

(08:25):
the baby elephant. Marcus zoos are closed, they can load
the animals in the art two by two three windy
at Green High Thanks Nick. Tap the glass at three
point thirty this afternoon, it's shot up very high in

(08:47):
christ Church with a lower on the north and west
of Land. We are in for wind. That's from Roger.
Think when he taps the glass they mean the barometer. Marcus.
Always listening, Always enjoy the informative show wins GUS sixty
at Tyry. It's one ten average fifty knots rain to
arrive in north through around eleven thirty coin regards tovel, Marcus,

(09:13):
some of your listeners may be in for a double
whammy if they use their mobile phones list into an iHeartRadio.
A local power outage could take down internet services as well. Bucklin, folks,
could be a rough night, Diane, it's Marcus. Good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Yes, good evening. I'm just ringing to say I got
my new TV. I'll be picking it up next week
and I've arranged they give you a number for the installer,
so you have a couple to choose from. So that's
fine and I'm lucky they're installing it next we Harvy

(09:48):
Normans was really quite busy today.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh good, okay, So was your TV not compatible with
a new Freeview?

Speaker 6 (09:55):
No, no, I bought the one that's got the Freeview
in it and the whatever else it has to do
with the satellite.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
I've got that.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
It's all in the new new TV. And those little
black boxes, you know what people were talking about. I
tried to get because I was looking for a handset
that I could see better at night. But through the
year I did get one of those black but when
I got got at home here and the lady that

(10:28):
that was you could get that one from Noel Emmings.
But anyway, the lady came out and that cost me
one hundred bucks and that was really it wasn't suitable.
Those black boxes were not suitable for my TV, and
my TV has lasted me sixteen years.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Was an old one. Yeah, okay, so did you have
to did you have to buy? If do they give
you the money back? Had you actually bought the freeview box?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
No?

Speaker 6 (10:52):
No, I hadn't had gone back, you know, like last
year I had, yep, yep. I was just trying for
a better handset that I could see. But this one
is a different one again, so I like the ones
that they run around and that they use in the
shops that you can see the numbers and all that,
but this one's a bit different too. So it doesn't

(11:16):
seem to have many numbers, but it has to be
charged up by the sun or I may have a
connection piece. So they've reminded me to take that in
next week as well.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
How much did you do? How much? How much did
you new TV costure?

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Oh, about six one hundred and something, which is.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Probably which is probably less than how much you paid
for your TV sixteen years ago? Do you remember how
much there was?

Speaker 6 (11:44):
I thought it was probably yes, Probably this one was
probably yes. You might have made we may have paid
one two or one three for this one. Very good mate, sharps.
It lasted so long? Do you know what I mean?
And what am I going to do with it? Just

(12:05):
give it to the rubbishtuff?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Isn't you want to? Sharp?

Speaker 6 (12:10):
No, I've got I've gone for the same model as
I've got everything else and ah lg no, No, it's
quite a common name. No, not that one, because we've
had a penasonic years ago. I've gone names my daughter

(12:31):
and her and her husband have got. I've got I've
got pets, little years. I've got another tablet here. I've
got two tablets altogether. This is the more upmarket one
two So oh it's out. No, I can't think one. Oh,
it's quite a real modern name. It's it's like.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
M hmm.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
Is it Bravia, No, it's and it's not conquered either.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's the other one infastinated now is a short name
for a long name?

Speaker 6 (13:07):
Oh like no, it's not that long either. If you
see the guitar, well, it's probably a bet.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
As long as that, as long as we're guitar. Yeah,
what leader of the outfits to begin with?

Speaker 6 (13:23):
I think and one who it's just gone from my brain.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Is it same sung?

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yes, yes, that's right, like guitar.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, same sang. Someone sticks with that through so they've
won for tonight. Same song.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Yeah, same song, same song. It's very good.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
It is it coreel and it's Korean.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Oh well, I've got the same sung pet you know,
like this one, and I've got another one.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
You're you're a same sung family.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Yes, and my daughter and her husband have got same song.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I knew that'd be same sng as.

Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yeah, okay, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
My pleasure, Diane. There we go and ire we go.
Keep the text coming, so get texts about the weather.
Not somebody calls. That's fine. Winds have arrived in west Auckland.
Why Malcolm, My power lines flapping up and down on
lights and sides done to flicker. A power outage won't
be a surprise. The Victor Cruz will likely be busy
tonight odd though, no rain, just raging winds. Marcus powers

(14:27):
out and pay here and Russell Old Bruce Russell about
ten power outages in Northland. Wow, old Historic Russell. No
power in Talpaki Kumu since two pm. Still in the dark.
Well you can't say you're still in the dark because
it wouldn't have been dark at two pm when it
went out. But get in touched by name is Marcus?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Welcome?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
You've got any weather updates for us? Or talks about
you reconverting your freeview someone sending me pictures of the
storm from the satellite. Thank you for that, and one
ofver of you have got let us know what it is?
Eight hundred and eighty Teddy and nineteen knowine to detect
here till twelve There seems to be a cycling off

(15:15):
Australia as well off the west coast of Australia. What's
that about? And Tam too, Tam Tam Get in touch
Marcus till twelve oh waight one hundred and eighty ten eighty.
I'm doing my damn just to bring you all the
weather latest. If you've got information for us, do that too.
They love posting the rain radar. But now the zoos

(15:38):
are closing. When does zoos start closing?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
And we do?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I want to sound like it's guesse. It makes sense
because no one's going to turn up to go to
a zoo in the winter, are they? But they might
be worried about the art coming and taking the animals away.
I did watch it funny enough during tonight show. I
watched the Power I watched lot over. They've got a
new machine in the lot. It's quite good that kit
that brings the ball, isn't it anyway? Band of rain

(16:06):
moving south of the Upper North Island will intendify into
the night, gusts higher than one ten twenty predicted. You
ought to also anchor your trampoline or turn it upside
down because they wouldn't get under an X like a
X like a wing. It's not good. You ought to
be avoiding that because that's not a good situation. Graham.

(16:29):
It's Marcus, welcome, good evening, Good Graham.

Speaker 8 (16:35):
I just want to get your thoughts on to rugby
and what you think needs to.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Change, well, people need to turn up for it.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
What do you think the issue was compared to say,
what we hit that we saw in the crowds in
the nineties and the eighties, it's obviously what we have now.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Well, South Africa is not there. The team and the mate,
the team and the makeup of it's changed so much
that there's no consistency. I don't think any two years
it's had the same number of teams or this same
teams in it. Unlike the competitions that people get really
focused about. Too many of the all blacks arrested, too

(17:17):
many matches when the results have foregone conclusion. It's probably
it's probably better to watch on t It's probably better
to watch on TV at than at the stadium, so
there's no atmosphere at the matches.

Speaker 8 (17:32):
I think what's really happened over the years is that
the game that our grandfather's played and then the game
that our father's played and then compared to watch play
now are three totally different games along before the rule changes,
and some would play the change the better, but then
others would say, well look at how the games turned
out and how the lack of now these States playing broken.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Keep the other sports, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I mean the whole point, the whole point of Super
Rugby was to give them a product that that satellite
TV would pay for, wasn't it When we had the NPC,
which was incredibly successful, and they cannibalized that for Super Rugby,
which no one wanted and no one's into. I mean,

(18:18):
this year has been better than most, but it's kind
of hard to get motivated by it. I think the
World Cups also destroyed destroyed rugby every four years, no
one because it means that everything else is kind of
just building up for that, and it makes the other
three years quite uninteresting.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Correct.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
I think the only forgetting that he's on plays every
year of the game against South Africa. Yes, really whatever
seems to be on everyone's radar, But apart from that,
the others are just well, Ireland's gaud this year, or
France is good this year, and yeah, it was.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
It was a shame.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
What's prompted what's prompted you to talk about it? Graham?

Speaker 8 (18:55):
I'm just completely Upsetler were quite heartbroken, really, just like
jokers from around the country and talk about the state
of their club rugby and they just don't have the
players that they are compared to what they what they
used to do, and it's sort of get a funeral
from the rest of the country to see what people's
suggestions are or what they think may work for Super Rugby.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
But no one, No one wants to save Super Rugby,
do they? They want to save the NPC. No one
has any passionate passion for Super Rugby, do they?

Speaker 8 (19:27):
Well, I think New Zealand Rugby does because they had
the opportunity askic COVID to, like you say before, revive
the NPC and pump all the money into that and
get that up and running. Because there's still a lot
of people that are around and passionate about the regions
and the only reason they're going to turn up for
those games is because they're going to see people in
there that they you know, they recognize from seeing around
town or in the workplace or you know.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
But Graham, I I live in Southland, right. Southland's always
hated the Highlanders because they think the Otago has got
too big a role in it and we've really get
games and we've got to pay for them. No one
in south and supports the Highlanders. Well, they might but
they don't really support them because it's just doesn't feel
like it's natural fit. Targo is our great rival, so
suddenly we're playing in the team with them and we

(20:11):
don't get a looking. It's hard to support that team.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
Yeah, you're preaching in the bot Marcists. I'm a Highlands
the stand myself, but I grew up in the Manawatu.
And the only reason I support the Highlander is because
they were the only team that was taking in many
or two players. Because with the Hurricanes, man or two
wouldn't get a looking in the early two thousands and
late two thousands and what do we know about and.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
The the province is hate big cities.

Speaker 8 (20:37):
Direct, which is why why I think the NPC is
the way to go.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I watched the women's final last night, replayed, thought it
was pretty good. It was quite a good watch. That
might that might be what you need to watch.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Did right?

Speaker 8 (20:53):
Those are the woman as well?

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Absolutely incredible.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, yeah, nice to hear from your graham. Thank you.
Patada Road, Titubangi power lines, arching and trees Arching, arching
and trees have caused us more outage, So there we go.
She's happening. Patad Our Ride to the lungey, Pete, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (21:13):
Yeah, Marcus, I just listened to you about the Auckland
Harbor Bridge. Show a down the four lanes. What's that saying.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's saying it's windy and the bridge's compromise because someone
drive into the overarch and damaged it and it's old,
it's sixty years old.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
Yeah, yeah, so not other words, it's priority to make
a tunnel, so we don't have to shut it down
or close it because of wind. So they going to
be something about it. So it's just.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Making well, we are third world, aren't we? What's the
definition of third world?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Now?

Speaker 5 (21:51):
What is the different page?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
What's the different what's the definition of third world?

Speaker 9 (21:56):
I call third world like we're doing now, we're going
to shut things down to make things run because we
have not spinny mate to make things to go forward.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well, we are third world because we're all dependent on
tourists coming here in a low wage country to make
our money. We're like Lombock, Yeah, they just come.

Speaker 9 (22:14):
Is going to realize you just can't prolong then any longer.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
What about what about terrorists and a tunnel, Pete?

Speaker 9 (22:22):
You don't worry about that bridge toothing.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
You can't.

Speaker 9 (22:25):
You can't think like that.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
You'd be scared in a tunnel, though, wouldn't you?

Speaker 9 (22:29):
No problems and it's all around Europe.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Come on, what tunnels you have been through? The chunnel.

Speaker 9 (22:36):
Been in in London? There use the troops all the
time I was working there.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
And and and with no fear, no fear it all.

Speaker 9 (22:45):
When your numbers up, your numbers up. You can't live
in fear. You're just going to move forward.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I hate people that say that when your numbers up,
your numbers up. It's like people saying, oh, you couldn't
hit my bus, And what about when your numbers up.
Your numbers are what said about Pete, it's like you.
There's there's like your smoke and drink. There's like your
smoke and drink, and say, when your numbers up, your
numbers up. And then they spent a fortune trying to

(23:13):
revive you. For the last days of your life, as
your family come and say goodbye to you. Know you're
dying from your own poor choices.

Speaker 9 (23:20):
I can jump in my car to get hit by
track home all day to get track.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Could get hit hit by a meteorite.

Speaker 9 (23:27):
Staying at home, well, it could be two years.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
I love that when your numbers up, Your numbers up,
Pete brilliant, like I always always, I can call if
they've got to laugh. Yeah, I wouldn't. I'm not. I
mean there's a lot of prediction there. I'm terrified. I'm
not really terrified of a tunnel, but you know, tunnel smuggle.

(23:51):
I'd rather they restored the Harbor Bridge. So people keep
going on about the advertising for Super Rugby. I haven't
seen that. I don't think I'm watching the right TV.
They now are. By the way, if you like conspiracies,

(24:11):
they now think Katie Perry didn't go into space. Yeah. So,
after the new Shepherd captured landed, Blue Origin founder Jeff
Bezos proudly opened wrenched open the hash with a specialized

(24:35):
tool to greet the all female crew. However, footage from
just minutes earlier clearly shows the capsule door being opened
from the inside before hastily being shut. Internet dwelling conspiracy
theorists of sees on the strange moment, hailing it as
definitive proof the mission was faked. You know why it's

(24:55):
faked because the world's flat. What a stupid Honestly, Katie
Perry should have known better. No one liked that spending
millions to go into the spa, into space for twelve minutes,
and she's saying, what a wonderful world anyway, So yeah,

(25:18):
that's that. That's that over. Love's a pair of cargo
pands bees Aresdney with a tight belt. Oh e one
hundred eighty ten nine two nine to detect. I hope
your freeviews going, by the way, and has anyone canceled
their Easter holiday? Did you try and get out of

(25:40):
your book a batch? Can you cancel your booker bats
due to bad weather because it's probably not worth going
if it's going to be four days of rain, stuck inside,
playing risk, because what else you do on a batch
stuck inside?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
I'm heading back, Neve Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Hell.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Are you scared of tunnels?

Speaker 7 (26:12):
You're talking the Neve.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Are you scared of tunnels?

Speaker 10 (26:15):
No?

Speaker 7 (26:16):
No, I'm not scared of tunnels. I built two big tunnels.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Let me guess them. Littleton Tunnel.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
No no, I didn't do that one. I was too
young at the time. I was little Tunnel.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
What about fifteen?

Speaker 7 (26:33):
I was fifteen at the time.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
That was Menapuri Exit tunnel. No, don't tell me, no,
don't tell me.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
No, I'm not going to not yet.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
What was it to do with like being more or
courou up that way like a water?

Speaker 7 (26:49):
You're getting coash.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I love a guessing game.

Speaker 7 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, you're getting coase.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Is it near twice all?

Speaker 7 (27:01):
No? No, that's getting the weaver through away?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
So we're down the wide which river we on?

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Why take YEA thought it might be now when when
we finished the White Taki dams, we they wanted me
to go up to the where they built all the
canals you just mentioned the name. There I built along
with two thousand other men and I know fifteen hundred

(27:34):
to get all up on the Bend Moll and we
built the ben More damn, and then we built the
eighty More damn. But before you could build a damn
on it, you had to get rid of the water,
of course, so we bored. My job was to get
rid of the water. So we bought Bloody Hill on

(27:56):
the side of the hill, and the tunnel there we built.
It was when it was finished, each tunnel all the same,
but they twenty foot thirty foot high and twenty foot
wide and the water.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Did you have a boring machine.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
No, no, no, we had a scaffold in there on
the railway. We put railway tracks in just one railway
track and on the scaffold there that we built on
the railway track. It was there were sixteen guys up
there twenty four hours a day. Not just then they

(28:38):
were doing two tourve air shifts. There was the morning
shifts started that at midnight and went right through all
dinner time, and then the afternoon shift went over the
twelve o'clock and went through six o'clock at night.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Was there a bulldizer on the railway? How were you?
You said, this not a boring machine, but how are
you digging it?

Speaker 7 (28:56):
They had they had I don't know what they called it.
That it was like a tripod thing, and then they
had air operated drilling machine beans and they would bore
the holes in the in the face of the thing there,
and then they later that with dynamite and then you
get out of it and they'd blow it up from

(29:19):
from the outside and then you couldn't. You went all
out back in the tunnel four or twelve hours, and
then the night shift went in or the day shift,
whichever one it was, And because all the dust are
cleared by then, and they're big fans in there operating
and blew all the dust out back out through this tunnel.

(29:40):
You see. They couldn't go forward because there's still of them.
You know, you had to keep drilling.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
But anyone lose any fingers.

Speaker 7 (29:49):
No, no, there was no. No bigger got hurt. Really,
but one one fellow got killed. Oh hell yeah. He
felled them the shaft and the and there was some
enforcing rods it's sticking up, excuse me.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
And went through them.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
The reinforcement went straight through him. And these reinforcing rods
were about our twelve feet tall. And it was my
job to go down there with a guest coming torch
and and cut the rods out from underneath him and
then avoid that. But he was as synergy went through

(30:36):
those things, you know, did you know? Yeah, yeah, not
very well, no, but stealth. There were so many people
there these days.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's why I'm building sites. When you got rio, you
put a cap on the top, don't You can't piece someone?

Speaker 7 (30:50):
Yeah, that's true, but back in those days you didn't
do that.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's the problem.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
And even a cap on top, he must have fallen.
Oh I don't know how many meters before that went through,
because it was right there at the bottom of.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
The dead the first or front first.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
They went back first, Yeah, it went back and then
it went through his back and come out he's coming
you know.

Speaker 11 (31:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:19):
Oh when I got to him, he was well truly dead.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, what is it? What did you actually ring about?

Speaker 7 (31:26):
Yeah, but you were talking about tunnels before, and so
I thought, all I'd bring up and talk.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
About Yeah, that's good your tunnel experienced you.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeah, we did Italian tunnels come out for that.

Speaker 7 (31:45):
No, we had a lot of Aussies coming out though.
Oh yeah, a lot come out from Australia.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
I think in the North Island, all around the central
Plateau over that those a lot of Italian tunnelers came out.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
All right here, but nick of the woods they had
there was a little about three hundred hats for here.
We just had one bed in them, had no room
for a second bed. Three hundred hats and that was
the single men's quarters and they lived virtually on site

(32:17):
and they had a great big cook shop there and
Taffy Evans was the cook. He was the boss of
the cook shop and Taffy would do all the meals
and quite lunchless, so you could take them away and
have them without going up there to get to have dinner.
You know, it's a waste of time. So their voice

(32:38):
talks with them makes send.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's nice to hear from and they've always liked talking
about big construction. Text from the Coromande some was just
to get the Papa Daha campground, hunkering down at Papa
Utaha Coromandel restaurant. Gusts last night even strong as to night,
funneling down the valley like a seven four seven, taking
off another sleepless night ahead and enduring your show. Jeff
and Denise, you are coastal. I guess you won't get

(33:02):
the inundations. It's coming the other way. Marcus. Hey there,
Mark has got a new free Today freeby Box Connected.
Did the channel suite all good? Then turn it off?
Every time I turned it on again, off it went
all day. If you c k n give up, Eg,
you have another permanent listener. Ah, Michael, So, Michael the

(33:35):
Miltment's so pleased with his text. He said it twice
and it's quite good. But I'm not going to read
it on here, but well done. Someone says that Katie Perrio,
it's not a conspiracy if they pretend to go into space,
because it's not illegal or harmful. Fair point, mind you,

(33:56):
if you're saying that man didn't go to the moon
is not a conspiracy either. Because of that. Well, I
think conspiracy is quite a broad definition. I think what
they mistoped, those women actually probably don't if it's just sexism.
But still, I think they thought there was going to

(34:19):
be more wonderment and interest in what they actually did,
and there wasn't much. People thought, yeah, whatever And Richard's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (34:29):
Yeah, gooday, Marcus are doing good?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Thank you, Richard.

Speaker 12 (34:33):
Yeah cool. Just drove up from Tea where I just
crossed over the bridge and not a sign of rain yet.
Pretty windy though it's picking up down to four lanes
fifty k's an hour. But yeah, I wouldn't want to
be in a high sighted truck, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
So where which was the road you were on?

Speaker 12 (34:50):
Coming up? Over State Highway? Went over the Harbor Bridge?

Speaker 7 (34:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Okay, happy over there? I can't understand. Yep, yep, yep, yep,
it's coming, it's coming perpendicular? Is it's coming up the harbor?

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (35:01):
I think it felt like that.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Yep.

Speaker 12 (35:03):
Bit hard to tell, but Carr was definitely rocking around
a bit.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Appreciate that and put okay, thanks, yep.

Speaker 12 (35:08):
Yeah, No, I've actually got one of those the huts
from the white Taki Valley on my land down there
in the South Island, one of those the single dwelling
huts for the dam builders, great little building.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Where is that land? Is that like at one of
the rivers? One of those one of those places.

Speaker 12 (35:24):
The Winanakkarua River. My family's had land down that little
private golf course down there for about one hundred and
twenty years, so my brother mows it and we go
down every summer and stay in this little hut. And yeah,
it's pretty cool, gold golden little spot there. Herbert. Herbert's
the local town.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh yeah, because you're kind of it's interesting that part
of the country because you don't sort of realize that
the coast is that accessible, but once you go down
the roads, it's there's a nice little places there.

Speaker 12 (35:48):
Ah, yeah, some lovely spots, graves, dams, a nice little
spot there, stop and have a picnic and we swim
in the river. Yeah, it's magic.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Oh yeah, why making so it's right, is it? How
far ups the golf course? It's not right at the beach.
Or it is at the beach, is it?

Speaker 12 (36:04):
No, it's just up the Winanaker off State Highway one
there in towards the Herbert State Forest and you cross
over the Wainaker and you look down as a graves dam.
It's an old flower melt dam and my great great
grandfather used to own it there and then the golf
course is just there on you're right, you can pay
and play. Call my brother Matt King, give him a

(36:25):
shout phone numbers on the board, the game of.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Golf And did they just they just flogged them off?
Did they?

Speaker 12 (36:33):
I guess? So, yeah, we'll check down the road. Bought
it and must have been years ago. She's pretty rough,
but yeah I picked it up for a couple hundred
bucks and got it moved on site.

Speaker 13 (36:43):
So is it with the board?

Speaker 12 (36:45):
Yeah, i'll weather board. It must be remu or something.
Its original paint job means she's cracked and rough, but yeah,
stand up to it.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Sarrol know who I bet you can find out who've
actually made those? Anyway, Thanks, nice to talk to you
twenty seven to ten. If you do an update so
of the power cuts that are happening in your ear
of stuff. If you can't get onto the internet, just
takes me through. I'll look to find out what I
can on the websites from those places. Rangers start and
total long and not too windy yet. Holidaying up pahere,
Bay of Islands up for the wayclow power out up here.

(37:16):
We're about to tell you camping. I don't know if
you are camping. I assumed you were camping. Let us
know where the power is out, Ruth. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (37:24):
Oh, hello, Hi Ruth. Yeah, Hi, definitely not camping in
the house, which is fair. Rumbling and shaking in the
windows are flexu and yeah, I don't know what the
damage will be in the morning. It's pretty wicked, Ruth.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Where are you.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Why?

Speaker 14 (37:47):
Hoah south of Hohora.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Okay, so you're getting if there was one hundred and
thirty k winds at Cape Rianga, you're only sixty or
seventies k south of there, aren't you.

Speaker 14 (38:02):
Yes, Yeah, that's that.

Speaker 15 (38:04):
Yes, yeah, yes, she's she's very wild.

Speaker 12 (38:08):
Pretty wicked.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
How long have you lived there?

Speaker 14 (38:12):
Well, actually I'm at my daughter's. They're dairy farming up here.
They've we lost the power at seven o'clock, so we
don't know what we'll do for morning milking. But so yeah,
I just came up to visit because they're in the
milk middle of the autumn carving here. So yeah, it's

(38:34):
pretty pretty all go.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Is it the windiest they've seen it? Ah?

Speaker 14 (38:40):
Yes, yes, definitely, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (38:44):
They've lived here for about twenty years, so yeah, So.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
What will be the challenge The cows will need to
be milked? Well, have they got generators or how does
how do you do that?

Speaker 14 (38:55):
No? No, they haven't. They got a generator. They're just
hoping that they're looking at the power company. Are supposed
to have it on by twelve o'clock tomorrow, so yeah,
so we hope that happens otherwise. So yeah, I don't
know what they'll do.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Oh that's a concern. How BIG's they're heard about?

Speaker 14 (39:20):
Two fifty?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Okay, you can do that by hand, can you?

Speaker 11 (39:24):
No?

Speaker 16 (39:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:25):
And then I think even if it's not collected either,
then it's hard to dispose of the milk too, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (39:29):
Well?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
I guess probably the tangles will still be coming through.

Speaker 14 (39:32):
One would hope as long as the roads stay open. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
came up here, you go. I came up through the
Munga markers this afternoon and the big slip that they've
spent the last year fixing, there's actually a slip in
the middle of that when I came through, but it

(39:53):
hasn't come down onto the road yet, So I just
hope that the roads don't get shut.

Speaker 11 (39:59):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Okay. So you imagine with the winds where you are
that trees are getting blowed over.

Speaker 14 (40:07):
Yes, yeah, definitely that must have been. We had a
lot of power flickering from about six o'clock to seven o'clock.
It just kept going on and off, and it must
have been trees on the line.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, it seems that's kicking in now. People are getting
lot of calls from people now, Ruth. So good. So
aren't you the nice mother going up there to help
out with the storm?

Speaker 14 (40:28):
Yeah, well, hopefully.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Nice to hear from you. Thank you, Ruth Brett. It's Marcus.
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 17 (40:38):
I'm read I'm at work at the moment in the
far North and Goire yes, at the mill, yes, And
the rain is vertical at the moment, and I'm in
the sixteen ton bucket loader and the windows rocking that
around in the windows. Wow, And yeah they've got we've

(41:01):
got debris getting blown around.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Everywhere, Brett, Is there any damage?

Speaker 17 (41:09):
Yeah, we had a power book this afternoon at the
middle and we're still trying to get everything up and running.
But yeah, there's trees and stuff down all over the
all over the far north and what have you.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
And you're having to use the digger to move woodchip?
Is that right?

Speaker 17 (41:28):
Yeah, I've got a sixteen ton bucket loader and the
wind is rocking and around the wind gusts went up
parked out in the yard.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
And have all the woodchips disappeared?

Speaker 11 (41:39):
No?

Speaker 17 (41:39):
No, no, We've got to contain in the up against
a big block war, brick war.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Okay, do you reckon the worst of its past?

Speaker 11 (41:48):
Or?

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Is it hard to tell?

Speaker 11 (41:51):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (41:51):
I think it's gonna last for a while, probably all night.
I don't finish work till seven in the morning, so
it'll probably last all night.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Will they call it? Will they call your job off
for safety reasons?

Speaker 7 (42:03):
No?

Speaker 17 (42:04):
I know, No, we are right right.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Nice to hear from your Brett. Thank you. There you go.
There's but so clearly it's banging through Kaiitara at the moment,
and someone sent me the Yeah, so very strong winds
will be coming from the east. Someone sent me the
website what's it called Nullskill dot need or the weather system.
So yeah, she's a big storm.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
YEA.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Nelson will really be copying it. I would imagine Palmerston
North also to anyway anywhere along the east coast. It'll
be getting hammered. Hi, Janet's Marcus.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 11 (42:43):
I'm about twenty odd k's out of Daggaville, quite high up.
But the wind up here is the worst I've ever
experienced in the twenty odd years i've been here. What
I remember one other lot of wind I lost the
top for shed. But tonight the wind is just vile.

Speaker 17 (43:07):
It's it's howling.

Speaker 11 (43:11):
I've just been out to take the dog out and
even he's frightened of the noises. Everything's banging and vil.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Okay, So just to get from you, Jen, are you
north of Dargaville or are you towards Inland?

Speaker 11 (43:27):
I'm Inland towards Whiteira, really between the Arabian Whiteira, which
is all of its southwest of of Dargavill.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Well, I know about white that was the railway junction,
wasn't it upon a time?

Speaker 11 (43:43):
Yeah, actually it's not southwest. It's towards the east from Dargavill.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
So the prodomant the windows coming from the east. Is
that rise it funneling down the valleys?

Speaker 11 (43:55):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
And that wouldn't be Is it a wind direction you
get very often?

Speaker 11 (44:04):
Yes, it is, and it's a nasty in the rest
of time.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
I went.

Speaker 11 (44:09):
When I went to take the dog out, I went
to open the door and the wind just blew it
in in my face. I just it just great gust
and it just blew the door in my face. It's
really nasty wind. We've had quite a bit of rain,
but not as much as I expected. Yeah, but then
the night's not over yet.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Okay, and you've got land there. It's free. It's a
very rural place, is it.

Speaker 11 (44:36):
Yes it is.

Speaker 17 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (44:38):
I have just a very small block, but I expect
to be trees down, saying have you.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Heard anything like that? Can you a branch is blowing
past or anything?

Speaker 11 (44:49):
Well, this morning when I went to work, I nearly
had a collision with a big or a long branch
off I think off a pop the trees. It was
across the road, and that was this morning at about
eight o'clock. But I would say by the time I
get to go to work to there'll be a lot
more than that. I haven't heard anything here coming down,

(45:12):
but it's pretty noisy, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
And you've still got power, which is a miracle too,
isn't it.

Speaker 11 (45:18):
Yes, absolutely, we're lucky in that respect. Yeah, I'm well prepared.
I've got my rechargeable radio, and I've pulled some water
off into pots and jugs and things because when the
power goes out, I don't have a water pump, of course,
But apart from that, I'm pretty well prepared.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
It's been a sad day for the dog. I'm disappointed.
The dog was not made of stoner stuff to go
out there. That's funny. And the dogs, the dogs reached
its limit.

Speaker 11 (45:49):
Yeah, and I didn't like those noises at all.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
And you think you think you will be able to
get to work tomorrow, will you?

Speaker 11 (45:56):
Jen The ways I could go, I'm quite some of
them much longer than normal, but I could get.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Your country folk, love you. Thanks jan North Power and
the final fift stood down their lines. People too unsafe
to be out in this weather, so it'll be tomorrow
before anything gets fixed for North Power High Lilias Marcus,
Good evening.

Speaker 18 (46:20):
Good evening, Marcus. I'm just so surprised that we've got power. Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
So it's blowing, it's blowing a gale as blowing.

Speaker 18 (46:28):
A gale that's been persisting all day long, and you
can't go outside. It just just blows you away. Where
are you We're normally the first people to go out
to lose our power, yes, but we've still got it.
So I'm just totally surprised.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Now, Lily, where are you? Exactly?

Speaker 4 (46:46):
Where at?

Speaker 18 (46:46):
Maramacu?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Mm hmmm, So I've got fun tod. Are you far
from there? Inland? From there?

Speaker 18 (46:52):
Yeah, we're we're about thirty k's back from carwaka.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Oh yes, copy that okay. Oh yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
And the wind is coming in from the east, is
that right?

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (47:02):
Noisily, Okay.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Is stuff damaged?

Speaker 18 (47:06):
Ah No, no, no damage at all. And we don't
flood here, so we're pretty lucky. We're pretty high up, okay.
And we also picked mushroom or hobby picked mushrooms as
after moon as well, so.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
I was pleased. I got some mushrooms today. Actually, I
think I'm going to get a lot in the morning
also too. So although the weather has been im down
south and the weather has been one of those still
very beautiful autumn days, so no wind at all. So yeah, okay, you.

Speaker 18 (47:35):
Know we've we've had a lot of a lot of rain.
It rained yesterday and rained all day to day.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
What's the name of your tail again?

Speaker 18 (47:42):
Marror mark marror marker? Where where the goings are from?
Sid going?

Speaker 19 (47:46):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, going country. I think
I might have spoken to you before at some time.
I remember.

Speaker 18 (47:54):
I was telling you about the mushrooms on the strip,
that's right, And you couldn't see the strip on the
on the google on the old strip, Is that right? Yeah,
we've got the strip here.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Yeah, that's right. Okay. Oh, well, I hope you haven't
jinxed it by saying you're lucky. They might have done
something to make your power more resilient.

Speaker 18 (48:12):
Well, well no, because the people on the other side
they lost power today and they never lose power that
we lost power. We haven't lost power. So I'm so surprised.
There's only about twelve of us on the lines here,
and they go right over the hill and stuff. So
there's normally a tree that falls down on something, but
it hasn't this time around. So we're pretty lucky.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Have you been on the phone and the blow are
talking to the other people of the community and finding
out what's happening to them. Are they going okay?

Speaker 18 (48:37):
Yeah, yeah, people on the other side had lost their
power and stuff, but I don't know where they've got
to back on. They'd lost for a couple of hours
when I talked them this afternoon. But whether they've got
it on or not. May they never lose power. We
always do, but they have that we lost, We've still
got it and they lost it. So yeah, we were
always we're normally out of power for about two or
three days.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
And do you feel the winds are strengthening?

Speaker 18 (49:01):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
No, you hope the worst's over.

Speaker 18 (49:06):
I don't think so. I think it's still sort of it.
It has its lulls and then it comes again.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Okay, Well, good luck with that. I hope you stay
with your power. Letty, thank you Daniel Marcus.

Speaker 13 (49:17):
Good evening, Yeah, hi Marcus, how are you this evening?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Good? Thank you Daniel.

Speaker 12 (49:22):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 16 (49:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (49:24):
So I just want to talk about the weather. I
was just finished a shift on a car ferry. We
take cars out to Wahiki Island. Yes, we just finished,
so it was a bit of a rough night. You
talked about the now casting. So as a professional skipper,
I've got a few different things that I look at

(49:45):
to make my judgment causes whether or not we sail
or not, and that's one of them. The Coast Guard
app is brilliant. It's got the now casting spots for
all across New Zealand. They're everywhere. So right now, I
just looked at Cape Rianger at one hundred and ten

(50:06):
five k's up there.

Speaker 17 (50:07):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (50:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (50:11):
The official forecast is the met Service app. There's also
met Service Marine and they have an interesting one the
three day rain forecast.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
Have also got the.

Speaker 13 (50:28):
The rain radar as well. It's a very good tool
that I use to make decisions as to whether or
not we sail or not.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
So you came out of Daniel, Did you come out
of Half Moon Bay?

Speaker 13 (50:43):
Sometimes yes, but we're the trip you've just done.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah, and so was it much slop coming up the
heading towards Wahiki.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (50:55):
If the winds against the tide there is okay? If
the winds were the tide, it's not so bad that
the seas die down a bit. Yeah, And the.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Winds coming in from the east, is it or is
it still? Is it not the northeast?

Speaker 13 (51:09):
No, it's supposed to tomorrow. It's a bit more north
on it. But yeah, just straight east at the moment, Marcus.

Speaker 20 (51:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
And for a few boats out of the hassel with
the fairies are still all fine? Are they in the harbor?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (51:24):
With there may be some cancelations tomorrow. I know that
our Pine Harbor ferries will be canceled tomorrow. Yes, they're
the ones that go out of beachlands.

Speaker 12 (51:34):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
And of course the one from Gulf Harbor is always canceled,
isn't it.

Speaker 13 (51:40):
I don't know, Marcus, different companies, no, no.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah, nice to hear from you, Daniel. Thank you. I
saw someone living there saying it runs about one time
out of five for staffing or whether. Thank you, Daniel.
Eleven past ten, you've got any updates on the weather,
Let us know what's happening. Here's a text which is
pretty interesting. Been a long day, twelve hours stuck on
a closed state highway to to Teta to a fatal extent,

(52:07):
hungry and tired, can't wait to make it home. Emergency
services would have had a bloody long day in the
raining and windy conditions here in Hawk's Bay. Hey, could
you just text me and let me know why you
stayed for so long?

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Am I.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'm assuming? Yeah, I'm just looking with you. So this
is this fatal crash and the serious question investigated. But
people waiting there for nine hours? It might have even
been longer twelve hours. But the alternate route would have

(52:57):
been up to Lake Topaul, then up through Mudapada and round.
So yeah, it would have been long. I don't know
how long would have been, five or six hours, but
maybe then you're going to wait for twelve hours. They
might have done that, but that's a hell of a day.
I don't know how many cars they were in that,
and I don't know what sort of services you were given.

(53:19):
But yeah, thanks for that update. Strong winds and rain
and fitty yang and nothing over the Corporal Hill as yet. Yeah, Jason,
good evening and welcome.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Are you right?

Speaker 2 (53:31):
You're good, Jason.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
It's to touch up on the Stay Highway too. Closure.
They closed at nine o'clock this morning and was just
opened up there half an hour ago.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Yeah, were you stuck in that?

Speaker 5 (53:46):
Yes? It was, and there were aerative route that they
just turned real nasty the road, so it just turned
to slosh and cars were getting stuck and all sorts
of stuff.

Speaker 18 (53:58):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Yes, the alternate route was quite localized one which wasn't
fit for purpose.

Speaker 20 (54:04):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (54:05):
That's right?

Speaker 12 (54:06):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Did you know? So you got this soon after nine o'clock?

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Did you I got there, so I took one of
the alternative routes up to two tier and then loaded
up with stock and then carted back to Hate for
young according me, for about four or five hours.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Were you aware that it was going to be that long?
Was the communication good or was it frustratingly poor?

Speaker 5 (54:31):
I was frustratingly poor.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Yeah, that's bad a I mean, and I realized it
was a fatal extent. So there's you know, they've got
to investigate that. But comms would be nice, wouldn't it.

Speaker 7 (54:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (54:40):
I mean, yeah, just just just to heads up there
or so. But the year was it was quite shocking.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
And with a stock truck, you once you're in a
once you're in a qu you can't turn it round,
can you really?

Speaker 11 (54:52):
Not?

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Really No, there's not many places to turn a stop
truck around.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Okay, So was anyone giving cups of tier or anything?

Speaker 5 (54:59):
I think the two tier of store, because there was
there was lines up by the two tier of store,
so I think they were looking after people out there,
but we were stuck on top of the Devil's elbow.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Year there was nothing shout out to them. Oh that's
incredibly free. But mind you, I'm saying it's frustrating. But
I also I don't quite know what else they could
have done. I mean, you get a mobile than a
cup of tea or something, okay, and what is just
suddenly it started moving. Everyone said hurrah, and off you
went with that?

Speaker 4 (55:23):
How it went?

Speaker 5 (55:24):
Yeah, basically here.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Many cars backed up.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
On their way back into the bay. We probably would
have passed about forty Okay, they were hidden to war
or so there will be quite a few behind us
that we we didn't see.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
You were you heading for now? Jason? When you get home.

Speaker 5 (55:44):
Central Hawk's Bay? Are we home hopefully in midnight?

Speaker 2 (55:47):
A bit of a frustrating day.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
Oh sure, but yea, we're going to get to stop
off the truck.

Speaker 13 (55:52):
So that's the main thing.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
It nice to hear from you. Thank you, appreciate you,
thank you for your service. Jason, Wow, gee, I don't
know why they don't have things with your phone or
your radios, they can keep you informed. I've been in
that because we're going to sit situation with the Bluff Road.
We're one road and one road out. A number of
times there's crashes, all these fatalities on that road, and

(56:15):
you don't know what's going on, and you know, you're
out of the car pacing around looking to see, I
see what's going on. But yet it's frustrating when you're
not knowing. I don't and you seed someone to sort
of walk up and down sadday. Yeah, look we've got
something going on there, and we reckon. In about four
or five hours, you might be clear. You might be
better off heading back home. Have yourself a cup or something,

(56:37):
just a bit of stuff like that. I know, on
the scheme of things, it's not the most important thing,
but yeah, in situations like that when there's run road in,
one road out anyway, how are you going? People? My
name is Marcus. Welcome, Fay, Marcus, welcome, Hi Marcus, Hi, Faith,
You're been good, You're really good. Thank you you.

Speaker 21 (56:58):
We're living over in to Tani and you were talking
about a while ago about the feeddew TV. Yes, so
I've just got one of those silly old aerials just
stuck on the side of the house. And I didn't
think anything about the TV programs. But I tried every
single channel tonight and everything worked perfectly. And I don't

(57:23):
have any little boxes or anything else. But we're right
under where the white TACKERI signal station is.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Does that still work?

Speaker 7 (57:33):
Well?

Speaker 20 (57:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I suppose so you reckon.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
I don't even know if it does, because you've got
an old school areal. I don't even know we had
old school TV. I thought they got rid of that.

Speaker 21 (57:43):
No, no, well, I've got a colored one.

Speaker 20 (57:46):
But I did have to get a.

Speaker 21 (57:50):
Sound sound bar my husband before we passed away. He
just could not hear the TV or understand what the
people were talking about. So we've got a sound bar,
but we haven't got any other equipment hooked on to
the TV, just the just the aeriel sticking up. But

(58:12):
one thing with the aeriel, you remembering with it and
Anastasia stuff you were talking about. You know, close your
eyes and you can see an airport or something. I
can't see it. I can't see a thing.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
No, No, I've forgot my head that. Thanks for reminding me.

Speaker 21 (58:32):
Yeah, but one chip did so when he rang up
that he hears music. Yes, well, when I'm sitting by
that eriel, quite often I will hear a male choir
like l Divo or something come through, whether it's from
the eeriel or what.

Speaker 17 (58:52):
I don't know will be.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
You'll be picking it up and you'll be picking up
with your feelings.

Speaker 21 (58:58):
Now for hearing aids because it comes through with sort
of Italian music but quite off. And I think it's
a concert because they I can hear the clapping and
the wolf whistling, and they were sing somebody saying give
us more, you know, And I say, what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Sounds like concert radio or something. I wonder if you're
tuned into that.

Speaker 21 (59:23):
Yeah, I don't know, but it must be something to
do with the aeriel. But it will only go for
about half an hour and then completely stop for the
rest of the day until evening.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
What's anyway, Yeah, what's the sound bar?

Speaker 21 (59:42):
Well, you're selling in the shops. It amplifies the sound
from the TV. You turn this TV sound off and
just had the soundbar and that brings it forward. It's
like a stereo.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
It's easy to hear.

Speaker 21 (59:59):
Oh yeah, yes, much better.

Speaker 20 (01:00:01):
I never heard of that.

Speaker 21 (01:00:03):
Yeah no, well JB High Fine, Old Lemming and probably
Harby Norman would probably sell those sort of things. Yeah,
if any expensive. One's not all that big, but it
was eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
And so you've you've got all your channels. You're not
on Sky, but you've got all your free view you've.

Speaker 21 (01:00:26):
Got yeah, even of the Hope Channel, the Shine Channel,
Al Jazeera, an Our channel and that Parliament came on.
But they're all on holidays.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
So it just.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Everyone's on holiday, all out crew on holiday. Don't get
me started, Flip. Nice to talk Fae. Oh completely unrelated,
marcause have you seen the news of Rikaani sabetical de
Lnster Apologies of busts. Genuinely a wild deal deal, although

(01:01:05):
I'd like to see younger and just players take up
this opportunity while keeping the job security Back in New Zealand, Marcus,
I wonder how many people actually ensure their boats and
yachts and marinas. Marcus, living Hendo, West Aalkland. No raining
a bit windy or windy, but nothing too far, too
bad so far today she must have a smart TV

(01:01:29):
that has freeview built in. Anyone from the Great Buryer
with their power cuts seems to stay on there being Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Good evening, Marcus. How's it hanging tonight?

Speaker 11 (01:01:45):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Thank you Ben, good stuff. And now some we've got
areel up in one of the hills here that you
can point your TV area and it's full works all right.
But I think I think it's just Prime and local
TV stations. I don't think it's like one, two, three,
et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
But yeah, does does Nelson have their own TV channel?

Speaker 17 (01:02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Oh, I haven't watched it for years, but I remember
a few years back I had a mate around one
night and they need to do a psychic reading on
a Tuesday night, and that's get read. You can see
the phone and return you're ring and you see the
little little weird light flesh. You'd be like, oh, we've
got a caller. Yeah, and I rung the upas is

(01:02:42):
oh I was being annoying. Actually I'd ring them up
and just as you go on the ar trick, you
hang up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
So you could see it on the TV. You could
see the phone line up and reach towards it.

Speaker 11 (01:02:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Yeah, that's a nights entertainment right there. That is brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
But I had a mate friend Chier around and yeah
and wait there, Frenchie's going to go next door and
talk to someone. Anyway, I got on there, I said,
you know, only if I casting, I don't want to
say say to my mate. Frenchie butting on my couch.
And in this time I hear this guy laughing from

(01:03:22):
the cat. She goes, I'm on TV.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
So who's the psychic.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
I don't know if some local guy who's a psychic,
but I know I know my my Exmas has got
on the one day with her sister and they were
talking that that been serious though I had to leave
the room because it was by way out of my league.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):

hemil turning. I was and on the way they need
a painty of problems and they had to divert through

(01:04:09):
gibsband so that he was he was, It was true,
and then it was me missus. It was something like,
you know, you've only got half a brain or something.
I don't know, but I can't remember that. He was
right on that too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
And tell me, tell me there been house frenchie these days?
You'd heard from him lately?

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
No, I haven't heard him from years. He went from
Gismond too. Actually, funny enough, he came down here and
worked down here for a while. But yeah, he just
appeared away into the moonlight somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
But what was he what was he working on?

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
He used to drive a beg, like a big log truck.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):

up that way up the forestry block.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
It was a surnamed French Ord. He wear a beret.

hundred and forty ki.

Yeah, I know, I know you need to turn up
on a Thursday night with a bottle of bourbon and
he and he just get the Linden. It'd be like
we won't be needing that will we.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Sounds like a cliss.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
It was probably the reason why I got divorced.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Yeah, I was freaching around the house of.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
It was he, Oh he was from up up. I
think it was Gisben somewhere like around that area. And
I think he's just staying motels while he was working
away with him. And it struck and oh the soft
spots coming coming here or whatever. And this came around
once a week or suppose.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Nice to hear from you being able to run. But

Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Yes, yes, free clearly, thank you good.

Speaker 15 (01:06:22):
I'm away now motor home with my husband and we're
up in Fongo pro Pininsula. We thought we wouldn't have TV.
We usually have no problem with Sky TV and our
motor home at home. We were all right when they
switched over, but then this morning we went out to
a motor home and tried it, and we have no

(01:06:45):
TV whatsoever, no reception, and we've got enough poles yep,
you go. We've got a Polo satellite dish. So we thought, okay,
we'll call into Silverdala Polo and see Duncan and see
if he can help us, and lo and behold are

(01:07:06):
We ended up being his guinea pig, and he and
his cruise got our TV going. But we can't our problem.
It is now our box with our skycard. But we're
really so lucky that we had TV tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Oh so what do you do to it? Is guinea pig?
How do you fix it?

Speaker 15 (01:07:26):
Apparently they spent some time and I would presume it
was a program, but they needed their laptop and there's
a program on it, and he brought into the motor
home and with that he got our TV going.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Well, okay, as good with you are at the moment.
It's not too windy, it's not too bad at all.

Speaker 15 (01:07:49):
Actually, we don't want the rain where we are, but
not too bad.

Speaker 22 (01:07:55):
Pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Good to hear that, Adrian, thank you so much for that.
Thirteen from eleven, I got an email he'll start the
air with this. Hi, Marx, I'd like to thank you
for last night to talk back about the TV satellite
problems we were having. My dish TV also didn't work,
so on hearing about your listeners from your listeners on
their problems and possible solutions. I tried resetting all my stations.

(01:08:17):
I got through via the dish TV settings mode, only
to find I needed a pin number. So I emailed
dish TV of my problem this morning. They replied with
the answer and voila. My TV now works perfect, so
I didn't have to buy another satellite receiver. Good service

(01:08:38):
from DISHTV. Thanks Marcus Shirley from Levin. I don't even
know dish TV was the thing of the company, so
well done them for emailing you back troopers creepers. Dish TV.

(01:08:58):
I think it's a local company, is it, Well, maybe not.
There is a New Zealand branch for I think it
might be an Indian company. I'm seeing Dish TV India anyway.
Dish TV Technologies Freeview receiver. Okay, it showed four, thusand

(01:09:20):
and even forth. Sightedn't even know they would have had
a pin number with them, but thank you for that. Gosh,
I never heard the word Dongle said so many times
is last night. But oh well, onwards and upwards, tittlement.
Don If you've got something to say to be nice to,
it doesn't have to be weather related. It could be
anything before twelve. Get in touch if you do want

(01:09:40):
to talk, as I say, eight one hundred and eighty
ten eighty, about the weather or anything else. Marcus, till
twelve team and who not raining, not windy, no shooting stars, cloudy,
so we can't see the Aurora. People have left for easter.
So even the boy races are quiet. Nothing happening, dunk.
Good evening, Jonathan, It's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:10:02):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus. I was a luster lat night
to all the calls about the satellite of what have you.
I did everything that Sky instructed me to do, and
I had no problems for whatsoever getting my signal with
the new satellite. But what I did do is check

(01:10:25):
my freeview box, which is attached to the television in
the lounge. Now there was no signal there. So what
I did do is ring this TV and give them
the number of my skybox, the serial number and what

(01:10:48):
type it was. And he confirmed that what I've got
is an old one and is not compatible with Sky's
new satellite, so I knew that much. Now what I
want to do is give you because the earlier caller
said he emailed Dish TV, and I've got their telephone

(01:11:09):
number if anybody wants it, because they are very helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
How did you even know they were a company?

Speaker 10 (01:11:16):
I had reason to get hold of them many many
years ago when I got my first freeview box. Somehow
I found out who they were and I kept a
note of the number. But that preeview box I've got
with the Lounge TV, which also operates on the Sky
satellite Dish so sky box in the bedroom, freeview box

(01:11:40):
and the lounge and I had to wait in a
queue about maybe ten minutes, but I opted for them
to call me back. They have a callback service.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Where were they, Jonathan? Where was mister Dish TV? Is
he in New Zealand?

Speaker 11 (01:11:55):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:11:56):
Yeah, they're in New Zealand, But I don't exactly know
where they are. But if anybody wants the number. I'll
give it to you now, yes, please, okay, Dish TV
eight hundred three four seven four double eight.

Speaker 5 (01:12:18):
Will you go by it?

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Will you go buy a new dish Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:12:22):
I have to now Marcus. He confirmed the one I've
got is obsolete. It won't pick up the new Sky
satellite and he recommended that I get one with the
number called SAT one on.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
The end of it.

Speaker 10 (01:12:39):
So it's a Dish freeview box SAT one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
I don't want to go back down the rabbit hole, right,
But your TV in the lounge yet not. It's not
a modern TV that you don't need the box for.

Speaker 10 (01:12:55):
No, it's an older style flat screen. Yeah, copy that,
and it does need a free view box to bring
in the picture.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
Go you well, after having all the what city you
and you go to Noel Leaming or where will you
go to get that?

Speaker 10 (01:13:09):
I'm an I live in o Taki, so I will
go down to Coastlands and either go to the warehouse
nol Leaming or Harvey Norman. I looked online there the
one he recommended, which is SAT one that's on that
will be on the front of the freeview box if

(01:13:30):
you google that. They are about seventy five dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
We spent some time in your town and the holidays.
I repleasant. It was o Tecky, Yeah, beautiful.

Speaker 10 (01:13:41):
Yeah, well you know, sunny Old Ochecky and the weather,
the climate here is lovely, yes, normal.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Was it a halfway between the main road and the
beach sort of an oh gee, it.

Speaker 13 (01:13:52):
Was good yeah yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:13:54):
And the other lovely thing about it, Marcus's was no
parking meters and only one set of traffic lights.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Mind if someone had done a drive by with the
perfume storm, that's have done a ram rayd Bit's all
right anyway.

Speaker 10 (01:14:07):
Ah yeah, he's fixing that up now. He's got wooden
shutters all along. I'm sure the double glazing will be
back soon.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
Nice to hear from you, Joe Nathan, sixteen past eleven.
Things are heading up, guys. One five two, one hundred
and fifty two kilometer winds now recorded at Cape Rianger
one hundred and fifty two kilometers. That's Cap two cyclone
strength winds. So don't underrate this. Not much rain yet.

(01:14:37):
Quite a few reports of trees down on roads on
the local Facebook pages here in Northland. Sorry correction, that's
a Category three cyclone wind speed. Wow. One hundred and
fifty two kilometers per hour. I'm trying to work out

(01:15:02):
put that in historical context. How to do that. I
presume the strong winds down Pewsaga. You'd get strong winds,
wouldn't you? Good evening, Ron Ats Marcus, welcome, Hi Ron.

Speaker 23 (01:15:20):
Yeah, Hi. I just set up a new box. Tell
the guys the cheapest way you canenvironment the warehouse going
buy a new SAT one. And they had a whole
part of them. Me I bought two of them because
of the boxes being old and still working. But they

(01:15:41):
won't pick up this new satellite. One of the box
that I had was a SAT link and that is
no good anymore. But I put this new box in,
just went into set up. And when you come to
the point where you got SAT link and you hit
it and it'll have add pin number.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
Just put o.

Speaker 23 (01:16:06):
You'll fly past it and then your line will start
to come up. And don't be panicky, just wait and
what's the line and go across the screen and it
gives you how much you have got. Now we get
a full screen where we are as soon as it
got that, your press okay, and you just leave her

(01:16:28):
there and beg on. She comes Now after that, after
it was set up with that box, it got the
whole sky, the sky on it as well on the
free view comes in. They're all set there and go
right through audio screens and audio audio stations and the

(01:16:54):
whole lot of there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
You're a visionary, you're a visionary. Ron So you said
you bought two boxers.

Speaker 23 (01:17:03):
I've got three TVs. I want to box. I'm going
to put a new one in on the one in
the bedroom. I haven't bothered doing it tonight, it was
a bit late.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Now, how much are they at the warehouse that will
be of interest to people?

Speaker 23 (01:17:16):
Well, they're on pretty special only seventy dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Okay, sky is that it was called a sky. It
was called a Dish TV sky Dish TV.

Speaker 23 (01:17:26):
Dish TV, and it's a set one.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
And I'll tell you what.

Speaker 23 (01:17:30):
They're small, only about oh nine inches wide, about about
an inch and a bit through the little wee box.
You can just hang it on the wire now, you
know how you like? You used to the boxes used
to be quite heavy. Yeah, now right, you go, These

(01:17:51):
things the light of the feather. So just tell anyone
if they having trouble grabbing the brand new box they're
all set up. You haven't got to go through station
by station and set them right. The other ones is
what once it once said? It's there and you have
got it. You've got the signal, the whole what's there.

(01:18:14):
You can go through every channel to make sure you've
got every station. And some people have been saying, you know,
they have lost some channels. But once you get that
new box, it's all over. And I'll tell you the
cheapest way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Now, tell me something wrong. You know how your password
is zero zero zero zero. Did you have the option
of changing that or are you leaving it at zero
zero zero zero?

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Sure?

Speaker 23 (01:18:41):
I actually have got a brother in law owns a
shop and he said, just hit through four o's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
I don't know if you should change it or not.
Give me more quick because what's why is it need
a password? Some're going to sneak into your house and
change your settings, wipe out Al Jazeera, surprising would have
a password.

Speaker 23 (01:18:59):
It sounds a bit of a nut case to me.
But it won't get won't You can't get it, won't
get your passed until you put a password. I haven't tried.
Somebody can try another number or done? Many you can
go back and start to get it, but doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Okay, maybe people don't want to get the old algia
zero get rid of the Christian I don't know what
would happen there. Oh, I like you a lot, Ronnie.
You've come through some for rest. You see what you know?
The thing talkback likes concrete information opinions, not so much
information with your dongle or dish TV sky set brilliant. Hello,

(01:19:38):
nol A's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:19:39):
Welcome, you know Marcus, my my daughter and the mate.
They went down there. They finished the bound yesterday. Oh yep,
they finished it yesterday. And and they get from picked
in to runton on the faery right in the question
forty five bucks to walk on. Yeah, then they're to

(01:20:01):
get a texti from the ferry to the airport seventy bucks.
See a taxi from the Fiery. I think it's a
twenty minute idols maybe, but this and and then when
they went down that they took the Texis did the
same thing going down and they missed the Fiery said

(01:20:22):
they had to wait for the Knicks Fury and they
were down hit to wait for them down there, you know.

Speaker 23 (01:20:28):
But yeah, texis me and I'm just one was saying,
you can't catch your bus.

Speaker 16 (01:20:35):
Oh yeah's a shuttle. But within the story might be
it's easier for them to just delate the the base
look out of the airport, jumping the taxi to take up,
because then he had a half an hour to catch
the ferry from the airport.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, I would have caught the I would
have caught the bus. There's a regular service as well
as the shuttle was. Did they did they enjoy outward bound?

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (01:20:55):
Today they loved it. I was just talking to my
daughter and you know, just tonight that was readiling on
and on all the friends he made. Did you have
that awesome?

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
Right?

Speaker 16 (01:21:04):
And and just on the sky? Uh, well, I look
my remote, my sky remote. Then right, the batteries. So
what I did was, you know, he squeezed the batteries
and get a bit of life around them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Yes, I always do that. I bit them.

Speaker 16 (01:21:22):
Yeah. Well these batches of identities they collect batteries, the
double a's and identity the boom. It works street but
I did it last tune? Wow, Yeah, they're still working.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Sweet now to me, I don't know what actually happens.
And it works as soundy taught taught me that it's
it squeeze. The batteries always gave my life. If in
the field it worked quite well.

Speaker 16 (01:21:46):
Yeah, well this was just about doing the year. It'll
be a year soon. Yeah, my sky remote then with
the sky Marcus, I still up the old old sky.
I think my sate just about two years old. Covered
the lichened spiders. Everything that's magic. It's a magic like
the storm is outside now we're just just pushing The

(01:22:08):
sky is beautiful on TV. It's the old gold gold
sky too, has got the card.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
You know, where are you?

Speaker 16 (01:22:17):
I'm up in co worker right on?

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
Oh it'd be nice, is it?

Speaker 7 (01:22:23):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
You'd be a bit more sheltered from the history, there,
would you.

Speaker 16 (01:22:28):
Yeah, we'll be getting a bit of it. Must be
like a like a tale. Today it was pretty bad,
but now not tonight. SA one hundred and fifty possibins.
That's mess of men.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
There's still more to come now. Yeah, she's she's blying
fear at the cape. Oh, get in touch if you
want to talk. Rad is a good example of a
person getting scammed as he comes on National talk Back
and gives out his password for his device. So I'm
now going to phone Roll and get his bank details,

(01:22:58):
but you don't have his number. And by the way,
why would you ever password on your freeview box? I
think most people's password to zero zero, zero zero. Wouldn't
there be Marcus, I advise my parents to fly back

(01:23:20):
from Tahiti on Sunday instead of tomorrow. Would you have
done the same? The stress isn't worth it. We've all
seen enough movies. March Go on the Chase, New Zealand
be very good mastermind about transport. Perhaps hi here that

(01:23:42):
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:23:44):
Oh hi.

Speaker 19 (01:23:45):
I live by Christams on the North Shore, and I've
just seen three trucks, emergency trucks where their lights fleshing,
going towards the Harbor Broach. I don't know where they're going,
but they're heading towards that way. And the motorway is
very quiet, okay, like these cars coming, but not like

(01:24:05):
I've seen them. I mean the motorway doesn't sort of
calm down till about half us twelve one o'clock in
the morning, so.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
It's unusually quiet, so that and the trucks would be
there usually quiet. You're not fire engines apart from the
bridge authority, are.

Speaker 13 (01:24:19):
They I don't know.

Speaker 19 (01:24:20):
I just saw the fleshing. No, I don't think the
fire engines. They've got the orange lights, so they must be.
They must be.

Speaker 7 (01:24:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (01:24:28):
Maybe closing the Harbor bridge.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Maybe, yeah, I don't know what that'd be. Maintenance or
road work. Is it raining where you are heavily?

Speaker 11 (01:24:35):
Not?

Speaker 19 (01:24:36):
But even now and again you get this really strong
wind and it makes the health shake. Yes, you know,
like it's just quiet. It's like that quiet before the storm.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Yeah, the idea the storm.

Speaker 19 (01:24:48):
Yeah, Okay, it's really weird. It's just then all of
a sudden, the wind will just brush up again.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
I appreciate you coming through here. I see if I
get some more information about that. I think most of
the scheduled roadworks have actually been canceled. So there's that, Marcus.
The past word is purely for parental settings. Except for it,
there's no personal weight to it at all. All are

(01:25:16):
zero zero zero from the factory. What would you want
to be in your kids from on freeview shine? There
wouldn't be much raunchy stuff, would there? Sky open? Oh,
could be quite warry like Al Jazeera. There could be
conflict or combat or something that could be upsetting. I

(01:25:38):
don't know the answer to this. Zero zero zero, A
lot of PAP, a lot of TVs. One in the bedroom,
one in the lounge. It's Freeview jumping if you want
to talk, if you've got to close in kind of
a comment for tonight, if you've got more weather, weather updates,
it's always good to have a weather update. Double low,

(01:26:02):
double low.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Yues.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
Practically, no one would change that. I feel I know
more about Freeview than anyone should. But there's a lot
to know about Freeview, and I'm someone that is at
that stage of watching no TV. I haven't even watched

(01:26:26):
the White Lotus. Hi, Susie, it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
Hello, my Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Susie?

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
Thank you good.

Speaker 22 (01:26:36):
I have the latest black Box and I'll tell you
what I written. My pictures are a lot clearer.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Yeah, they will be.

Speaker 22 (01:26:44):
Yeah, especially the Classic Channel, because I have a lot
of old movies on Marcus and they weren't always very clear.
But there is clear as when I wear in mcglasses.
That's how clear the channels are. What all they did
to those I don't know, but might be the news. Hello,
but I haven't had any trouble touch Wood.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Yeah, what's the clear channel.

Speaker 22 (01:27:07):
It's Classic. They have all the lot of the older
movies on at Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Is this on Sky or Freeview?

Speaker 22 (01:27:13):
Yea, Sky, Sky, Sky.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
It's not called Jones.

Speaker 22 (01:27:17):
I haven't got I haven't got the Jones here.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
What it's rubbish.

Speaker 22 (01:27:25):
I've just got the movies and the sort of like
freeview channels, you know, the ordinary channels.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Any good movies lately, Susie.

Speaker 22 (01:27:35):
No, there's there are just repeats. I'm thinking about dropping
the movies because I've got Netflix, but the movies are
just repeats. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, Marcus. So I'm
going to get rid of the movies and just keep
my broadband with them in the usual channels, and I'll
just watch Netflix.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
You're on Tuesday. Nice to hear from you, like your
elemantness Power is meant to be on back on next

open channels, maintenance slash, set up menu, and retune audio
using auto tune the Sky people don't need a new dish,

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I want to go to something I cry.

Speaker 7 (01:30:41):
Well.

Speaker 20 (01:30:42):
The thing is that it's a real key we and
it's quite emotional, a little bit on the earth quaite,
but it's just looking after the kids that were suffering
from post traumatic stress disorder and what did help them.
I won't tell you. And the more because it'll spoil it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Well, no, because I realize it must be tragic if
someone if everyone's crying.

So yeah, yeah, well my nephew was in the christ
To quake. Oh yes, University had to get under the desk.
And I lived there in nineteen seventy three and went

station was shut boarded up.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Was it raining when you came out of the movies? Ah?

Speaker 20 (01:31:35):
Yeah, very very windy. It was blowing up Queen Street
and up Albert Street. And when we were going along
Albert Street and number eighteen back to go to Avondale.
Some the bus tried to pull in but it was
being blown and the guy made a funny noise. That
guy says. Whatever they said, it was the wind, trying
to drive against the wind.

Speaker 17 (01:31:56):
Good.

Yeah, not much rain a little, but they see we're
going to get it today tomorrow.

Speaker 20 (01:32:54):
I can't remember, I know, but it was going very
beautiful clothes and you know, all the eating and because
the royalty wanted them to kids, but they didn't know
what to do.

Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:33:22):
I think they lost their lives and they had to sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
But I'm sure that's how I'm sure that's how it ended,
isn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:33:28):
The head cut off remembers.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
They sat around knitting. I mean that's the famous thing,

Troopers in New Zealando.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Yeah, the guillotine.

they've had every busy couple of days. So yeah, they've
had a good time. So they are, they'll be. I
think they're watching the Ear Australia's tonight, so yeah, they've
had a good time with that.

Speaker 20 (01:34:08):
So you go cost too much to come to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
It does cost a lot in the holidays. It would
be like about two thousand return for the for two
of them. They got said to.

Speaker 20 (01:34:24):
Get the train from from down there, from in the cargol.
No you can't. I came all the way from Dnsing
