Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from newstalk SEDB.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, how good evening, all, It's Tuesday. Welcome Marcus here.
How I hope you're good. Eleventh Tuesday, the eleventh of February.
Here till twelve. Nothing surprising about that. It is my job.
So looking forward to your contributions tonight. Do you want
to get involved? I'm all, he is, Hey, just before
I really get into what's happening tonight. And this is

(00:37):
not just me coming to work and listening to the
Sport News and think let's talk about that. This is
something that I'm glad it was mentioned that Sport News
because I've thought about that a lot today. And this
is Caleb Clark. And I'm only kind of saying this
because someone might be able to help me out. But
Caleb Clark, who obviously plays rugby for the Blues, he's

(01:06):
stepped back from Super Rugby's fantasy game. And my question
about this is twofold, and I'm sure if I'm having
concerns about it all, why would he step back from it?
And also I wouldn't have thought, well, no, it's a

(01:28):
hard question for me to ask because obviously I didn't
know the NRAL fantasy. I just thought if you played
football for the NRAL or for the Super Competition, what
would go along with that would be a parallel competition
where people could put together teams of players. I didn't
think that was conditional on the player approving of that.

(01:50):
I just thought that was fans doing what fans do
and putting together their dream team and buying and selling players.
I can't work out why the players had to have
have to have rights to approval end of that. Could
someone explain that to me? Because I've read the article
a number of times. I was talking about this over

(02:11):
dinner to someone. I said, how does that work? I
just thought when you played rugby, people would put together
fantasy teams or a separate thing. I didn't think the
players needed the buy in. Could someone explain, I mean,
do they get money for it or something? So I
can't if someone yeah, So, I am genuinely not trying

(02:33):
to drive conversation. I'm genuinely perplexed by that one. So
someone from the sports audience knows a bit more about that. Look,
I'd be really happy to hear from you, because it
makes no sense to me. So if you can talk
about that, that would be great and tell me why
that they would need to approve that. I just thought,
particularly because I can't I don't remember anyone in the

(02:54):
NRL not being available because they've said they don't want
to be involved with a team. Have I got that wrong?
Or is the NRL in the Super Rugby one different?
If someone could explain that to me, that's something that
I would dearly like to hear some explanation for. I
don't understand it. Text it through a courts I'd rather
you call through. But yeah, I've got Yeah, So that's

(03:14):
the article and you heard it in the news. The
All Black is one of four players to withdraw their
name from Super Rugby Pacific's new fantasy competition. Is that
because I can't work it out? So if someone could

(03:38):
actually step me through that, and is that different from
the one with the NRL. So yeah, I really am
perplexed about that. So if you've got some information, oh
eight hundred and eighty to eighty nine nine two to text,
because yeah, as I say, I've got no idea and
that that's fine, I can move on, but I just
don't get it. By the way, we're not talking about

(04:01):
that all night tonight, just so you know, getting touched
by name is Arkestdor telve o'clock, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Yeah, Chris,
it's Marcus. Well, thanks for calling and welcome Hi Chris.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, how are you man?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Good?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Thank you Chris, thanks for coming through, Thanks for answering
the call from me.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah. I think the Caleb Clark pulling out of that
fantasy football league might be his legal right to not
have his name associators and something he doesn't want to
as a as a privacy potentially a privacy issue.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
But why because because it's about people looking at the
player's form, which they've always done and working out which
team's the best. That's nothing to do with her, is it?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I'm not sure?

Speaker 3 (04:51):
And maybe the Ruged Players Association would be the best
people to talk about how he has the ability to
pull out of it.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, okay, are you aware if that's what happens in
the NRL.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
No, the n r L.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
You're like, the NRL contracts are tighte piped and you
know players, yes, they do move clubs sometimes, but it's
the players have very little say in the NRL and
you just may have to go along with everything that

(05:27):
pipes up. But I'm thinking that he's used some law
to tell them that no, he's not interested. So I'd
be really interested to seek.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, so you don't know anyway, you don't know if
anyone in the NRL set I don't want to be
involved in. I mean, I can see that people don't
want to be bought and sold because that feels weird.
But I've never heard anyone in the NRL set, and
that's probably why that works. The fantasy football there works
better because I've never heard anyone say that you can't
buy this, but it makes a mockery of it.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I would And also like if I was you know,
I never would for the clear be capable, but if
I was playing the NRL and I'm being traded and
sold for the grand instead of one point two millions,
it would make you feel a little bit stink.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, it's not what makes it. It makes the fan
experience a whole lot more interesting because if invested more,
it's not gambling.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
No, gambling is theory, but with no money.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Wow, I don't see it as gambling.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
So like, and he's also head in media today that
it's not about religion and anti gambling. He just said
he just didn't want to be a part of it.
But you're an all black, you can't.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
But why why has he got the rights to even
say that he doesn't want to be in it? Because
you can't say you can't. You can't say it's about
players images because there's always photos on every program, every
program from a team. That's the that's their image. So
the whole way sports works. You've got your lineup on TV,
it's the fifteen photographs of the players.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
I agree with you, and completely agree with you, and
to the level of like when you are playing for
the Blues Crusaders, Hurricane, et cetera, your image gets used.
And I don't understand how he got away with this,
but a better explanation would be good about how and
why he was allowed to do it.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, we'll see what I can find out, Chris, because yeah,
I really don't get it. I just thought, Okay, sports
looking for more revenue, stream looking for more engagement for fans.
This is probably something that began organically in the EPL
or something like that. People are right into it. It
adds to the whole involvement, especially with children, with getting
into sport. I said, it's been when I can't work

(07:52):
it out, and I'm kind of weird about gambling. I'm
not one that's kind of into sports bedding on that
sort of stuff. I think that's probably you know, I
think that's problematic. But this thing is, this thing is
as wholesome as apple pie. I don't get it. Maybe
someone else knows could explain it better to me. But yeah,
rugbies in trouble if players that are withdrawing from the

(08:14):
virtual fantasy football and anios is pulled out geep as
you think everything would be water tight? Sixteen past eight
oh eight hundred eighty taty and nine two nine two text.
If anyone knows any more about that, I don't know
if they discussed it. The Darcy discussed it at seven
as that was major topic. I win any os in
thes and the os well, what could go wrong? Eh?

(08:35):
The old fossil fuel company get in touch. My name
is Marcus welcome oh eight hundred eighty chatty and nine
two nine two de text. I've got other topic. I
just wanted has solved that out? Like any did any
all blacks say they didn't want to be in the
week books cards? I never heard anyone doing that ever,

(08:59):
anyone doing any of it actually, but get in touch
if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred eighty tatty
and nine two nine two de text he'll twelve. And
I can imagine if there's some spin off animated TV
show or something that I don't want my avatar being
involved with that. But yeah, it's just weird. Marcus may

(09:25):
be a trademark issue, or as a previous caller said
it maybe his right just like sport games need the
rights to put teams in their games and use actual players' names.
It was not like a video game. Well maybe it is. Oh,
by the way, as far as the weetbox cards go

(09:46):
to Ruby Twey, she she kiboshed the weetbos card too
because they were homophobic, I think, and she said no,
I'm not a part of that, so that was her.
Marcus absolutely to reach. Rain on the Auckland Southern Motorway.
Cars are even pulling over to stop because the rain
is so heavy. It even got a weather report with that.
If cars are pulling over on the motorway, that's bad,
and no doubt there could be surface flooding. Let us

(10:07):
know if you've got some intel about that also brilliant
and also some more information about this fantasy. By the way,
isn't as good as the I've never done it because
I get too confused by Super Rugby because it changes
every year, how many teams and what teams are there.
I don't feel the love for it, but yeah, I
know people have to trade it. Is it as good

(10:28):
as the NRL or is it a bit of a
imitata Marcus. I think the All Black's heads have got
too big. They seem to please themselves. Most of them
have got holeses that takes most people a lifetime to
play for. I think it has a lot to do
with rugby popularity declining, and now the sponsorship is in disarray.

(10:53):
Cheers David. Well, yes, they've killed the goose that called
the laid the girl. They've killed local rugby. That's their problem,
so the alienator of the fan base. Now they've got
no revenue, and now any of us has walked. And
remember there was that funny old deal with that company
that was going to generate all sorts of new revenue
and nothing really happened. It was all a bit of

(11:15):
a damp squib. I think they got seen off by
Silver Lake a bit. I was gonna say silver Farm,
but silver Lake I think they come and said all
these great things, But I think all the teams that
silver Lake have got involved with have not done that
much at all. Twenty three pass eight. By the way, Trump,
who'd of him? Would he be the most well known

(11:35):
person in the world? He would be, wouldn't he? Would
it be him or Ronald McDonald? And Ronald McDonald's not
really a person who would be the most well known
person in that would I presume it's Ronald McDonald?

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I'm talking about a person as opposed to a deity.
I'm sure we could say Muhammad or Jesus or something
like that, but someone who walks the earth these days,
that's probably probably better thing to say. Yeah, anyway, I

(12:09):
presume Trump would be the most well known person in
the world.

Speaker 9 (12:12):
Would he?

Speaker 7 (12:14):
Like?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It'd be more well known than like some well known actor,
wouldn't he? Anyway? So he's got rid of the one
cent coin, which I think was probably something that everyone
could get behind. It's a great thing to have done.
The end of the penny, that's what he said, the
end of the penny no more. And I think probably

(12:38):
while we're there we could afford to probably get rid
of the ten cent piece. When was the last one
you had one in your pocket? I'd get I think
probably our whole currency could do with a revamp. I'd
have a ten dollar coin, a five dollar coin, a
two dollar coin, a dollar coin, a fifty cent coin.
That would be it for me what I said, I

(12:59):
say ten dollar coin. I'd have a ten dollar coin,
a five dollar coin, a two dollar coin, a one
dollar coin. The twenty would be the smallest note. Yeah,
it's future proof it. If people want to be able
to use money, let's make money more useful. Have anyone
got any thoughts on changing the currency. I'm all about that, Marcus.

(13:24):
You forget kids. Most kids have no clue about Trump,
but no Trevor Scott and Cardi b. Someone said the
most well known person in the world would be the pope,
but what's his name? I don't know if you're right
about that. It might be the pope who is the
most well known person in the world. I'll see what

(13:49):
Google says. Tell me what AI says? Would you, Dan
Walt Disney, Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, ron Atkinson, I don't
think so. Michelle Obama, Jim care I don't think so.

(14:13):
Cristiano Ronaldo really, but if you want to talk, oh,
eight hundred and eighty to twenty twenty six past eight,
my name is Marcus welcome be Trump? Wouldn't it minde?
How would you tell it? What sort of how would
you go and find out the most well known person?
Would you do a survey? Not saying the most liked,

(14:33):
the person with the most name recognition, top five family feud?
I'd say, is Trump on the list?

Speaker 10 (14:45):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's ridiculous. Who's on the list? Cristiano Ronaldo number one? Yes,
Leanno Messi, number two, Elon Musket three Swift that's not
Jonathan Swift. That's Taylor Swift, not Gulliver's travels Oprah Winfrey.
Number five? Wow?

Speaker 11 (15:08):
Is that ai?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
So there we go? If you want to rechange the currency, Gosh,
I'm saying a lot of things at you tonight, aren't
I feel I need to? The other thing, too, is
that Trump is bringing back plastic straws. So if you
could bring back one thing that was banned, what would
be the one thing you'd want to bring back? Would be?
What's the one thing you want brought back? Plastic straws,

(15:44):
single use plastic bags, double happies, skyrockets, just curious there
might be something there. And the very heavy floods, the
very heavy floods. Oh, that's interesting. This now, this brings
some more interest to this topic. My understanding, he was

(16:05):
getting abused on social media for not scoring big points.
Ah do that makes sense? So suddenly I feel there's
a lot more clarity there. So probably what's happening is
that suddenly fans interaction has changed because a bad game

(16:32):
is not just a bad game anymore. A bad game
is a bad game because you don't get the points
you thought you were getting from your fantasy football team.
That makes sense. I'm glad you texted that, Marcus. Just
make it the Australian dollar better for everyone. Cheers, Ray
Marcus King, Charles Marcus, hope you've got a mask for

(16:54):
your drive. I had a fight with the dispenser, the
odor dispense from the bathroom. That's what's gone down the throat.
Hasn't been a good day for that. So yeah, don't
get me started. Just don't get me started. Copped a
lot nasty chemical, bring back plastic shopping bags, single use

(17:18):
of the epsolete fast. They became rubbish bags, freezer bags,
dog leaving bags. Everyone just buys other bags. I think
they're probably sitting the bags, but you might have something
about that. Harry and Meghan for the most well known. Oh,
by the way, Total on are people there. I saw
that in the paper to day about the mayor. I'd
be furious you vote for a guy says he's going

(17:44):
to move there. I mean, how can somebody be passionate
about a city if he's not going to live there.
He says he can't find a suitable house rent one.
He says he can't find a home in his desired
school zone. For goodness sake, I don't know how old

(18:08):
the kids are. If you are in total and got
your strong views about that, let me know how they are.
Tyson Fury most popular and well known person in the world,
and he has probably spent all their money on the
last year's failed America's Cup Challenge. Nothing left now for
the All Blacks. The rain has re isedlated. It was

(18:31):
over Mount Wellington around and six pm a big Downpaul,
creating flooding. It's probably moved south more now, Marcus. As
far as the weather, definitely not pranking every look at
the metservers Orkan rain Radar twenty hat away from nine
min name as Marcus, Welcome oh, eight hundred and eighty
Teddy and nine two nine two texts getting touched welcome

(18:52):
hitdle twelve. If you want to rejig the coins, how
would you rejig them? And Mahi Drysdale And if the
one thing you could unban, what would be the thing
you could unban? I think most of the bands have
been pretty good. What about lead Shot? I know people
get very passionate about lead Shot. The security guard was

(19:16):
only doing his job, That's right. Well, I think probably
old Seymour was trying to take attention off him. I'm
trying to re establish his name in the headlights with
something a bit different than the presidential saga of the party.

(19:38):
Now Marcus, I believe that he's in Rugby in Hierarch.
You need to total clean out, start from fresh, revitalize
heartland and kids Rugby. It's affordable, Marcus, I would unban
chlawing in our drinking water, Marcus, Ronaldo or Messi for

(19:59):
the most well known worldwide Hi, I am seriously disappointed
with Seymour. He's leaving the whole country. We need stability
more than anything else right now, cheers Tony Marcus, driving
home from the Gulf in Cleveden, torrential rain down this way,

(20:19):
ben Free localized apparently, and the thing you want to unbanned?
Someone says, lead shot great on the Canadian Goose. Then
they say you can link anything back to the Canadian
Goose if you really try. Someone says, bring back Georgie Pile.

(20:40):
Although I think I can say that Georgie Pie wasn't banned.
Let's just stop making it. Why would you ban it? Anyway?
That's good.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Get in touch Marcus till twelve eight hundred eighty ten
eighty nine nine to de text. But yeah, and also
if you're in totalong, are that mere that won't move
there when there's no legal right that if you the me,
you've got to be there. But you think they'd want
to be there here it's queer that he's not there.

(21:19):
I don't even know how much the players have to
be involved in virtual rugby anyway, But yeah, I didn't
realize the players had the choice of buying in hi
eleer ats Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (21:32):
Oh, then I've got the five shillings and uh the
ten the shilling and the sixpence.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Much use for them.

Speaker 12 (21:45):
Is suspense and uh two?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I said, so you got you got some old coins?

Speaker 12 (21:57):
Yeah, the old coins. Yeah, I've got fourpence in ten?
Seen ten?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
You've got them? You've got them where ella?

Speaker 13 (22:10):
I've just got Oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
How long have they been there for?

Speaker 14 (22:14):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (22:14):
Long time?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Will you do something? Will you do something with them?
Or do they bring you luck? Or why if you
hang on to them?

Speaker 15 (22:21):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (22:21):
No, I tried, but the banks won't take them.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
They no, Well mind you what would the bank do
with the mother?

Speaker 14 (22:30):
Ye?

Speaker 12 (22:30):
You're right, what would they do with them?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
And they're probably not rare because there was tons of
coins like that in their day. I mean there's buckets
and buckets loads of coins floating around people's houses. I'm
sure of it.

Speaker 12 (22:42):
Yeah, you know the bank doesn't have anything to do.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Do you have yourself a ten cent coin?

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Much?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
You wouldn't bother with it, would you?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Not?

Speaker 8 (22:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Not much you would buy with it? And a good
on you? Thank you for that. Evening en. It's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Welcome, Get a Marcus, how are you going?

Speaker 16 (23:00):
Agency points in the Rugby are provided by the coach
of each team on a three to one basis who
were the better parers in the opposition team. So each
coach has to provide the who he thinks for the

(23:22):
best parts in the opposition on a three to one
point basis.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay, yeah, are you reading from the rule book?

Speaker 16 (23:36):
I'm just heard on the radio. That's how they assist.
That's how they get the points. The coach, the coach
of the Auckland Boers will provide who he thinks for
the best and the chiefs when they play on a
three to one basis, they're accumulated over the season.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Have you played it?

Speaker 16 (24:04):
Sorry, now, that hasn't started yet, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, but it's been it's been around for you'd probably
enjoy it.

Speaker 16 (24:15):
Oh yes, why what's the well I played a fair midday?
I mean that's how they're going to accumulate the points
to see the best player over the period of the supersol.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
But this is not the coach.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
This is not the first year of it?

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
It is?

Speaker 17 (24:33):
Is it?

Speaker 15 (24:34):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (24:35):
Yep?

Speaker 16 (24:36):
Oh, don't much say. It's going to be the coaches
of the each individual team.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Why are they so slow to have started this?

Speaker 16 (24:49):
I don't know, Marcus, yeah, it's the game.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Is not perfect. It's a good point. Ok and thank
you now, people of Todo about the whole situation with
your mayor not moving to Todonga from Cambridge because he
can't find the right house in the right zone. Shouldn't
you have said that before he stood for me there

(25:16):
was contingent on him finding the right house. I don't
get it, and I can't work out why has it
rented somewhere in the interim. Anyway, what about fantasy rugby?
Because I'm finding this quite fascinating because you've had no understanding,
and if it's just out of this year, I can't
believe how many years behind everything they are you, Nick,

(25:41):
it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Welcome, Hey Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Nick?

Speaker 18 (25:48):
The old guy had an idea what he's talking about.

Speaker 16 (25:50):
Mate.

Speaker 18 (25:50):
That's not how you play fantasy rugby, Okay. You get
points based on scoring tries, getting conversions, how many tackles
you've made, how much run meters you make, and then
that all gets calibrated together and that's how the players
get points for the game.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Okay. So it's just like the NRL one.

Speaker 18 (26:14):
Exactly like the NRL one, except obviously with rugby, they
value different things a little bit differently, so it's exactly
the same, except they've taken years to get onto it
and they've just started this year.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
What have they taken so long?

Speaker 18 (26:30):
Because rugby is slow and old boys club mate, that's
why they can't keep that.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
But you must have seen how obsessed with the NRL
one people were and thought, hey, let's have a bit
of that.

Speaker 18 (26:42):
You'd think so, but.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
For so long, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 18 (26:49):
Am I understanding what some of the players don't want
to be involved is because of religious reasons, because it's
kind of encouraging gambling, peeps of the tab and that
kind of stuff. Uses the results, oh do they?

Speaker 15 (27:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
So the tap pot?

Speaker 18 (27:09):
You think about it? If they start trekking who against
the most meters of game? Like people play that fantasy rugby,
there is competitions involved, so some people just don't want
to be a part of that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I didn't think they'd have that option. Are you aware
of any NRL players that have chosen not to be
part of the NRL Fantasy League.

Speaker 18 (27:32):
I'm not aware of any in URL players. I don't
know if if their union was strong enough to say no,
but it's obviously the players union has got it in
there that but they were allowed to say no to
it in.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
New Zealand, yeah, because someone said it might be because
fans can start giving you a hard time if you
don't have a good game because there's more in it
for them because their team suffers, which I could kind
of understand, but from a gambling point of view, I
don't quite take it. But if you say that's how
the tab works, I can understand that.

Speaker 18 (28:10):
Well, it's not just like it's the people with the
super rug with the fantasy of rugby. It's a big competition.
That's some people say as gambling. It's the same as
when sunny Bill Williams didn't want to wear a logo
on this jersey because it was there was a financial

(28:31):
institutionals against this religion.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's that's because that was because lending, lending money at profit,
usury or whatever, it was against the Muslim religion.

Speaker 18 (28:41):
So if yeah, okay, so if someone's if someone's religion
is against gambling and they see this game as a
sense of gambling, they possibly don't want.

Speaker 15 (28:50):
To be a part of it.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
But it's a bit late because sport is now so
entwined with gambling, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (28:58):
Well, it's not a bit late in New Zealand because
that's so far behind they've only just started it.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, but you can always bet on sports. He was
a bet on first players to score. So then you
think that you think any players with problems with gambling
would be because of the stuff on the field kind
of thing.

Speaker 18 (29:16):
Yeah, but I don't think they can control what the
tab does, but they can control their likeness being portrayed
in the game. So if you if you have no control,
I guess it's you play. And if you've got the
control to say no, superstis he had the control and

(29:36):
not play on a Sunday and he choes not to
so's there's a lot of people that's chosen religious reasons,
and sports tried to play as best they can.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Because I mean, that's where the sport, that's where all
sports do. Your revenue is coming from, now, is it
from all those kind of revenue streams you think, I mean,
cheapest creepers. If the rugby were so slow to that
there's no hope for them.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Well, I agree, yes, Okay, thanks.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
For coming through, Nick. I knew there was a topic there.
I just think quite know how to get into it.
So for those that don't know what we're talking about,
I don't explaining it because I mean, I'm slow on this.
The NRL, well, I guess the English football teams In
the NRL, they have a fantasy league and you pick
a team from all the teams and depending on how
many tackles or how many meters or how many points

(30:33):
they score, you get those points and your players go
up and down in value and you can trade and
sell them. You've got like a ten million dollar cap
and you get points throughout the year, and I don't
know how it's judged at the ends of the team
that's worth the most value. With something like that, people
love it. It gives a whole other angle to actually

(30:54):
learning about the players and studying them, and yeah, I
think it makes I think it adds a whole depth
of enjoyment to the game. And now, for the first
time in the Super Thing competition, Rugby Union's going to

(31:14):
do it. But already four of the players have pulled
out and it's not clear why they've pulled out. They
say it's not because of gambling. So yeah, I'm none
the wiser, they say. Caleb Clark says it's not a

(31:35):
faith thing. The All Black is one of four players
alongside Highland As Highland as prop said to calte Onea
pacifica pair to Otama and Jonathan Tarmatiani to withdraw their
name from Super Rugby's new Fantasy competition due to personal reasons.

(31:55):
He says the venture wasn't a priority for him when
always asking to be a priority. It's part of the game.
I don't get it. Some people think that it's religious
or faith thing. I'm not going to say no, it's
not just setting the record strikes. I don't want people

(32:15):
to start getting the wrong idea. It's just a personal
preference and how I wanted to do it, and fantasy
wasn't part of it. Yeah, I really don't get that.
I'm really perplexed by that one. A lot of texts
about Mahi Drysdale with people talking about his children not

(32:38):
wanting to go to Todonger. I'm happy at the schools
there and maybe he should have thought about that before
I decided to run for mayor. Marcus the mayor can't
say his children no longer want to move, just saying Jack,
what does that mean? What's wrong? With being a carpetbagger.
What happens if his children don't want to go to
Todunger's school? Kids have rights too. It sounds like people

(33:02):
have some more information there than what I've got. Trevor
Ittt's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (33:06):
Hey, Margaret, how are you okay? Just the thing you're
talking about, your expectation of players when they're playing playing
being paid a lot of money. I mean, you did
write about that, and that's some guy mentioned earlier. And
it was really quite extraordinary really that Sonny but Williams
didn't he didn't have to wear the being z the

(33:28):
sponsor one of the major sponsors of the auction rugby team.
I mean, it was just almost phenomenal really, and he
could play in all the games, but his dues he
had no sponsor.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
But you know so, I mean there's a question, right,
but that is something quite different. That was to do
with his faith and pattern.

Speaker 10 (33:46):
Oh well, I've got no doubts to do with his faith.
I mean, look, you mentioned the four players.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
But I can't work out I can't work out why
someone would not want to be involved in a fantasy
football league. Do you know the reasons for that?

Speaker 10 (33:59):
No, I don't, but I'll expect and pass a thought.
The four names that you mentioned, Pacific Island play, I've
got no doubt to do for religious reasons. Now, you
know everybody hears things, think things and wonder and you
wonder why. But we do know Pacifical and players are
extremely religious. And with four players like that, we know calbers.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Also the NRL, I think the figures are about fifty
percent PACIFICA players and they're all in there in our
NURL fantasy football teams. And there's been no and I
can't work out any scripture in the Bible that would
have a problem with people playing fantasy football.

Speaker 10 (34:38):
Yeah, you're right, I mean you no, No, it is
a question to ask and be really like, I would
really like to know, but I mean you'd have to
think it was along religious lines.

Speaker 11 (34:49):
We just just quit your me.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
He's made a mockery of this. I feel for rugby.
They can't get a break, and he's putting the wall
under the because that'd be a disaster if suddenly some
players don't want to be in it. I'm not going
to get involved fantasy rugby if it's if it's just
how dare they?

Speaker 14 (35:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (35:06):
No, especially if he's an all black and I hope
I'll play and as you say, you know, yeah, no,
I agree that just quickly on me. You know, Wellington
we had a mayor of Poirouh. Do you know Wellington
we had a mayor of pi Ruh that never lived
in poirou and he used to travel down to meetings
from that and it is really quite extraordiny. I mean,
is that the same as the Prime minist of New

(35:29):
Zealand not living in New Zealand? I mean, is that
the same?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Is this a rhetorical question?

Speaker 10 (35:36):
Well, yeah, I mean I'm just finding Can.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
You let me.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Trevor, who's the mayor of Potioder that you're talking about?

Speaker 10 (35:44):
Mike, Yeah, you google it, Mike Tanner, m I K
E T A N A. And he was there for
three years, I think from about two thirds. I don't
live in pirou but I live in Wellington of course,
from about twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, and I don't
think he won that election. But I mean it's incredible
to think that you're in the mirror of a place

(36:04):
and you travel to the meeting and you don't live
in the area. Also, to me that some of our
prime ministers are not living in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, but but has there ever been a promise that
has I don't understand your metaphor.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
No, it's so weird.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
I mean, what would people think if the prime minister.
I mean, so we've got the mayor of a city, right,
which you'd have to think the mayor would have to
live in that city. And to me, it's almost on
the same level as.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, I'm not going to hear you repeat yourself with
I can't handle it toever. Sorry, Sorry, Petty, it's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (36:42):
Good evening, Oh Marc, I's come in with a bit
of league in rugby news. Now the league boys there,
their contracts are structured different to what the rugby boys
are obviously, and they've done that for many years. Okay,
the rugby the rugby boys. Is it just starting off

(37:04):
the share.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The aparently, so I just sort of gone under the
radar and now I was interested, but there hasn't been one.
This was the first year for it.

Speaker 17 (37:12):
Yeah, well I would do you remember back to the
Sunny but William stay, yes, he he dictated what was
going to be honest, Josey, what people could do with them.
He he didn't like any advertising for any beer products
or any smoking products, and he was the exception to

(37:33):
the rule they let him have that. He was and
when he played for I think it was it was
could have been when he was in league. I'm not
sure if it was Rugby. I think it was in
league actually. And and there's another player who didn't have
to play on Sundays many years ago, and I can't think.

Speaker 16 (37:55):
When that was.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
It was it was a Sunday. It was Michael Jones.

Speaker 17 (38:01):
Yeah, okay, there we had these little pops out now
where the Caleb with Caleb, he is very strong with
his church, and I would say it's a religious belief
that he feels, because he owns his name, that he
doesn't want it to be associated with gambling.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
But I don't think fantasy football is gambling. And all
those all those NRL players, all those NRL so may
those NRL players our church yer is all get out,
but they're all yeah, so they don't they handle the gendle.
They don't seem to be considered just.

Speaker 17 (38:44):
Being always a little bit he's a little bit spiritual
and he's his family. He comes, he does his own thing.
He's a little yeah, do you know him?

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Do you know him, Petty?

Speaker 17 (38:59):
No, I he's one that was after my reign down there,
But I do know I had spaken to his are
they're at several occasions because they did train at the
Warriors Father. They have a very strong PACIFICA come religious
with the family that they're like. They come through as

(39:21):
the Michael Jones people of New Zealand too. Do you
know how Yeah, yeah, so I would say it would
be religious with them. He just wants he just he
goes against his grain. And I don't know where Rugby
will will make a stand or will they fight this,
because you know they've got a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
They've got to fight it because the future for matches
like this is how you get fan engagement, and people
are going to rugby league because it's more fan engagement.
If you can't have the fair engagement. I mean, already
we haven't got a good local competition because the NPC
has been being castrated and now Super fifteen is terrible
because the Aussies are rubbish and they want fan engagement.

(40:03):
And then the players are choosing whether they can get
involved in the fence to see legal or not.

Speaker 17 (40:07):
And we've got you made.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Any Clark didn't play for the Warriors, did he or
did he do something?

Speaker 17 (40:16):
But they they trained down it, so we often saw them.
But they're beautiful people, very yeah, absolutely beautiful people. But
I would say that was a roney with Caleb.

Speaker 10 (40:34):
He's very close to to me.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Fantasy football is not like tobacco or gambling or alcohol.
It's not a vice. It's just people having a bit
of fun putting something.

Speaker 17 (40:46):
Yeah, yeah, I see your point, and I see.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
It it has I mean, my kids are how are they?
They're nine, They're very much into the fantasy football and
I wouldn't get themselves involved in something that was.

Speaker 14 (41:02):
That was.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Bad for their well being. When the younger kid got
a bit obsessed with it and started to make other
teams because he wanted three teams rather than one. But yeah, okay,
hi Paul, it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Welcome Marcus. How are you tonight?

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Good?

Speaker 8 (41:23):
Thank you for I'm ringing from puddlewitter Lake, tuttlewitter and Rod.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Great.

Speaker 8 (41:30):
Hey, just a quick thing I just picked up when
I was just driving here, So I just to put
a point right. Fantasy rugby has been going for years,
so I was doing it ten or fifteen years ago
when it was Super eight or Super ten. Sure so,
and then they had a break it stopped. But we

(41:52):
were doing flat out fantasy rugby way back then, so
they have been doing it.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
But then for some reason, was that run by a
different crowd or was it owned by.

Speaker 8 (42:01):
The n z A Are you you have no idea?
I don't think it was owned by them at all.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
But yeah, we used to pick.

Speaker 8 (42:08):
We'd pick a team. We'd pick our team every week,
a whole bunch of us, and we'd get to get
those points, and you know, and obviously you'd be up
the ladder. You'd have a look in your sixty ninth
in New Zealand. No, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I mean I remember doing something poor like fifteen years
ago when you could pick which teams won. Are you
sure you're thinking, because remember that that was big for
a while.

Speaker 8 (42:29):
Yeah, yeah, but you still you still picked your plate.
You picked your team out of anyone. So you picked
from all of the super teams, okay, so you know
you'd have the different rugby players and like the guy
I said before, if he scored a couple of tries,
if he was in the Stormers, were you know, and
he scored three tries were you know, he gave you
one hundred points.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I remember being in one probably ten fifteen years ago.
We just had the picked all the results and that
was quite good fun because you could see where you're
ranked about sixty thousand. But that might have been yeah, yeah, yeah,
that might have been. That was a fore runner to that.

Speaker 8 (43:00):
Yeah yeah, no, so so no, they definitely had it.
We used to come around to my house, all my mates.
We'd be flat out all week picking out, getting our
team ready, yes for the next game.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Well, I wonder why they let it slide and now
they bring it back in such a weird form.

Speaker 8 (43:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just a bit surprised people saying that
starting from scratch, for the heaven, they've had it going.
It's just maybe it's coming back from a different Somebody
else is running it, whether it's rugby or whoever.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
They've got mo runners. You want it, Paul, Thank you, Marcus.
This fantasy rugby you tool about. There was something similar
in using as far back as the nineties. You picked
fifteen players a team and got points for a try conversion.
It's set to including points for an end game. You
also got extra points if your player was away from home.
I think you could change up to four players each weekend.

(43:47):
Someone says lux and doesn't live in his electorate of Botany.
Very good, thank you so happy about this rain of Orkland.
The grasses turned grunchy in the hot weather. If you
want to talk more about this, the history of this

(44:08):
fantasy rugby with rugby and I'm kind of curious about
this now, I'm that far into this discussion, and also
the situation with the mayor of Todonga who lives in Cambridge. Yeah, look,
I reckon, He's I reckon. There's trouble there. But you

(44:33):
can't promise something and not follow through with it. You
can't say yeah, I'm going to move and then not move.

Speaker 19 (44:42):
Well.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
I suppose you can do anything, but it doesn't go
down well. And he might have even realized he's just
going to be a one term that doesn't like the job.
But the miror election of the year must be two
and a half years into is he was?

Speaker 7 (44:57):
It?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
A by election might have been more recent act years.
I'm thinking aloud, greetings and welcome. It'll twelve If you
want to be in touch eight hundred and eighty nine
two to text get in touch. Twenty one past nine o'clock.
Also the changing of the coins. Trump's got rid of

(45:20):
the penny good on them. He's also bringing back the
plastic straw. What band thing do you want brought back?
I don't know the answer. There see some driving maneuver

(45:41):
that they banned. What about those things on the steering wheel,
those knobs that you actually hold and spin those around?
They were banned. Weren't they dangerous?

Speaker 20 (45:54):
Well?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
I thought they seemed like a lot of fun for
truck drivers. Forget what put the end of those? Was
it earbags or something?

Speaker 8 (46:04):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
You're not going to believe this, but my sky dish
has just gone down. It's back on goodness me old Sky.
How's Laura remains going with his? I wonder well? The
seven times the sky technicians covered for anyway, it's kind
of going to going to be this year's rolling topic,

(46:29):
Sky and the sky Dish in it and rain fade. Anyway,
that's what we are talking about, the super Rugby and
also too, if you change the coins and the one
thing you'd unbanned ward you're unbanned. You might want to
talk about that. My name is Marcus Hittle. Twelve o'clock
there any other stuff you want to bang on about
two tonight. I'm kind of in the I really enjoyed

(46:51):
last night's discussion about Australia. Thought about that a lot today.
Becoming a state. Oh no, goodness, someone wants to bring
back child abuse, bring back smacking goodness, bring bad bull rush.
I don't think bull rush was ever banned. I think
that was one of the great talkback misconceptions someone as

(47:15):
I presume the rugby players have pulled out for religious reasons,
Well they haven't said that, and I couldn't work out
what the religious reason was. I've got no idea what
that is. When they're involved with teams sponsored by Steinlager
and all sorts of other stuff. I can't work out
why fantasy football would be anything to do with that.

(47:37):
Marcus regarding the mayor of Totong living in Cambridge, not
really an issue with seriously, just over one hour commute,
very very normal.

Speaker 14 (47:49):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
But I would have thought if you wanted someone to
lead the city, you'd also want that person to live
and experience the city, or do you see their role
as more being a manager that just comes in. I
thought probably the role of mayor was more someone from
the community who had a vision for that community. I

(48:12):
don't think you can be the mayor from out of town.
You can be the chief executive and they bounce around,
but you can't be the mayor. Sits really wrongly with me,
Marcus talkers talk words or words. Performance is reality. Mahi

(48:35):
Drisdown needs to do what he said he was going
to do. It's that simple. Marcus went a policy, Wow,
a policy, makes a promise and fails to live. I've
lost all faith in democracy. Marcus Bulrush has still played
on a daily bas at my daughter's school. Primary chairs JK,

(48:55):
bring back milk and schools much simpler and better than lunches.
What sort of milk nut? Milk oat, milk potato Sarah?
Bring back checks finally something we can all get behind.
Bring back landlines? Have they not gone yet? The things

(49:21):
we've banned we want brought back. What about those car
seats with beads? They were banned? Marcus Trump has taken
the copper, not just the penny cunning. He gets the

(49:41):
minted coins as well as the mineral for musk. Copper
is actually owned by Geronimo's tribe. Oh my god, super
Rugby starts and all talkback hosts beg it. I'm not begging,

(50:04):
and I'm just saying it's surprised that they've allowed the
players to opt out of the fantasy league. You might
be listening too much, kayleab Clark on fantasy rugby. Some
people think it's religious or a faith thing. I'm just
going to say, it's not just setting the record straight.
We're gonna want people to start getting the wrong idea.

(50:24):
It's just a personal preference and how I wanted to
do it, or maybe he's got a personal preference for
throwing the ball forward or doing all sorts of things.
Sometimes you just got to get along with the team
and go along with him. I'm just looking at the
Parliament steps on google it. It's kind of bizarre thing
to do, is to break the law outside the building

(50:50):
where we make the laws.

Speaker 10 (50:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I remember old Shane Rdurn with that tractor. I don't
know what happened to him. I think that was all
to do. I can't remember what it was to you.
Remember that was about twenty years ago. He drove the
tector up. It was like a yellow messy Ferguson I
think seemed to be very self satisfied with himself as
he did, and I can't remember that it was some

(51:17):
petition or something to do with methane text. I think
I don't know if he got prosecuted. I don't even
know what happened to him. Might have been a one
term wonder get in touch. One of is Marcus welcome.
Marcus Trump has a special button in the Oval office

(51:39):
which summoned staff to bring him a can of diet
coke and straws. Getting touched twenty eight away from ten
Fantasy football. But yeah, because I can't work out. While
the NRL one, there's no problem with it. They just
seem to get on with it. And every single player
I've ever wanted my team has been there. I can't

(52:00):
think of one that's not there. Someone wants to bring
back the stiff arm clothes line tackle in league. A
lot of different tackles in league over the years, haven't there.
And the chicken wing tackle at the Google. What a
pick six was today on the back of the Super

(52:26):
Bowl yesterday. That's when you throw a pass and you
grab it and score six. Part of my game understanding,
I don't really know. Marcus unbanned Tom thumbs and skyrockets
fair enough bring back the plastic shopping bag. Number one
seller and souper markets is a thirty nine cent paper bag.

(52:49):
What suckers we are regards Steve, you know what, I
actually think most people would be quite happy with the plastic.
I think people have coped with it quite well. There
was craziness and talk back for about the week before
we had the band. I think people need to give
them as a pat the back of the handled it
pretty well. That's my take on it. Trump has commented

(53:10):
on the plastic straws and the paper straws. He says
is a ridiculous situation. We're going back to plastic straws.
He said, these things don't work, referring to paper straws.
I've had that many times. On occasion they break, they explode.
You had one to explode. They just go, who's using
a straw? Why would a man use a straw? If

(53:38):
you we all know he's got a button for diet coke,
but you're drink it out of the candle that you
wouldn't need a straw. Yeah, that's the weird thing is
that people would drink with I mean, I can understand
people with lipstick or things they might want to have
a straw or I don't know why people use straws. Also,

(53:59):
if you want to mention David Seymour, you can mention
a his motivation for driving the tractor up there, whether
he's trying to change the narrative about some of the
flak he's getting from the chairman of the party when
they lawyered up rather than going to the police, and

(54:22):
his letter to Polkinghorn, or his letter about polking Horn
even though he wasn't a cabinet minister now, or talking
about him up the up the steps on the tractor.
But he we should be charged, I would think, and
proper use of a motor vehicle. Bring back honey puffs,

(54:46):
Bring back Ryan eak Bear Greyhound racing. K Bar's cheers, Dave,
thank you, Dave said, are you playing the game of
trying to discredit David Seymour. I'm just asking if people
think he should be charged for driving at track. Don't
think it's a game. It's pretty standard. I'm sure most
people think that should be happening. It should be happening

(55:06):
if you're driving a tractor up the steps of Parliament,
if it's against the law, and if there's probably precedent.
I'd be more surprising if they didn't charge him. It's
a place where you make the laws. It's not so
much where they charge them. I can't work out what
his motivation was. Marcus cheap as Marcus ten and twenty

(55:27):
dollars coins? Terrible idea? Too heavy? How do you know
they'd be heavy? We make them from aluminum from t
y Marcus, how are you agree that all currency should
be in coins? They're not going to get dirty plastic
money just blows out of your pocket all the time, evening, Steve,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (55:47):
Welcome you're doing Look, yeah, you got your call us
the callers. I'm a David Seymour fan. I like a
lot of what he stands for, equality for all, kiwis
all the rest of it. But I couldn't actually believe
what I heard about them dry in the football. The

(56:07):
fact of what it just what an idiot move and
it was it was just a strange, strange in my
understanding of I'm quite out of character and it just
it just seems a weird thing to do.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah, like maybe the moment he like too enthusiastic for
the moment or something.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Like a like a lacking of judgment.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
Well, he doesn't strike me as someone that really cares
too much about what other people think and not able
to really impress people. I mean, well apart from the
fact he's apoetic and people think to a degree. Yeah,
but you know, he seems to have his own convictions
and follow them. And it was just sort out a
character I had to have a second take to actually, yeah,
it's already done. I thought it was absolutely weird. So

(56:51):
you know, we able to hear a couple of other
favorite Seamle fans ringing up sort of supporting it or
trying to downplay it, and I go, hey, I think
he's a smart guy and or the rest of it,
but what what a dick move. It was just weird.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Yeah, and I think people can be fans of him,
but they can because it seems to be a misstep
for a law and order party. And I thought Browny
spoke quite well about it. You know, it's the law
and you can't do.

Speaker 6 (57:15):
It exactly exactly. And I've found yeah, Brownie as well. Hey,
another thing to bring up was, I don't know, I
heard a very very little bit about it, and I
don't know if you'll be much about it. But this
asteroid that they reckon, it's on trajectory for Earth in
twenty thirty two. Yes, maybe you had many discussions about that.

(57:35):
I haven't been on air the last few nights. I
haven't been listening to the last few nights to see it. Yeah, well,
what are your thoughts in that? All I heard was
a week ago there was a one point two percent
chance you know here, Now it's a two point four
percent chance. Does that go two four, eight thirty two
as the dance go by?

Speaker 18 (57:54):
I mean, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Interesting interesting thing the information from the article I read
about that that went from one point four to two
point four. It seemed as though the nature of the
article all seemed as though as more and more information
with his asteroids was gathered, the chance they're going to
hit Earth and if it'll becomes less and less as

(58:19):
they find out more specific So it seemed like no
one once you drill down in the article, it seemed
like no one much was too concerned about it. But
I'll do some research and find more, Steve, I'm not
losing sleep. Rose Marcus, welcome, Marcus, beautiful God.

Speaker 14 (58:40):
Hey, my opinion about Dave Seymour. I think he's always
been a bit of a weird check in boost. But
it wasn't just three steps. He tried to do the
whole lot. He wanted to. The intention was there, so yeah,
that one doesn't ride with me.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
So he wanted to do it all, but then the
security guard prevented him. Is that right?

Speaker 14 (59:05):
Well pretty much, But I mean he only got to
three sticks, so that's when the security guards so that
he didn't Yeah, he might have tried, but it didn't.

Speaker 19 (59:15):
He failed.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
And I wonder what happens to someone like politicians and
ego and things like that, if it does affect their judgment,
you know, because it seemed as though no one really
thinks that was a great idea.

Speaker 14 (59:28):
Well, I do think ego is in there somewhere because
it comes out and the words of people.

Speaker 10 (59:34):
Sometimes Yeah, okay, well well.

Speaker 14 (59:39):
Right, And the second one, Marcus, was I really agree
with you with the coins for the five bucks and
jem back thanks coins great idea. So he's over the
top of the class.

Speaker 15 (59:51):
For that one.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Well, you go a ten dollar coin, a five dollar coin,
a two to one, and a fifteen that would be it.

Speaker 14 (59:58):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and to bring back I would really
like them to bring back Steweberry top of ice Block
and the other one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
I can I can kind of sense how it tasted them.
I didn't love it, but yeah, you do it not
for me.

Speaker 14 (01:00:20):
I love strawberry anythink strawberry imen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
They must have discontinued it for a reason.

Speaker 14 (01:00:27):
Oh, it would have been nobody was buying them perhaps.

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
But.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
And why was no one buying them?

Speaker 14 (01:00:38):
Well, I don't know, because the fleshy ones came out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Okay, thank you, nice to talk.

Speaker 14 (01:00:44):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Eight hundred and eighty nineteen nine two de text one
of is Marcus welcome. Oh. Someone says we're a bit
short on news if we care about some guy driving
a land rover at a fundraise for charity. Well, I
think probably the point for him was he did that

(01:01:05):
so people so it would obfuscate from the situation with
the president of the ACT Party and his prosecution, and
the fact that ACT said go to the lawyers rather
than go to the police when they are the law
and Order party, and also the situation they'll advised contact
from him and the police about the Polkinghorn case, which

(01:01:27):
even police mister Mitchell said today was advised. So you know,
it might well be a situation he was trying to
change the narrative. So don't always think, oh, well this
has happened, we must be short of news. It could
well be something he's done deliberately to change the discussion.
So someone says, bring back the use of inciderators to

(01:01:50):
burn non toxins eg. Dried flex cabbage, tree leaves and
the ring of wash machines. I think there's still a
fair number of people that have forty gather on drums
in the backyard and burn all sorts of toxic stuff.
It's not good what people burn. Sometimes you open the window.

(01:02:11):
I can't believe you cheap as it's like four What
especial when they're burning stuff at night. Marcus Remahi Drysdale
benefit of the doubt. Maybe he lives in tongue for
five days, at the home life for two days. Council
will have rules on what is allowed. Well, no, you
can go. You can stand for me, or you can

(01:02:32):
stand for council. You can live anywhere. Good on your Marcus.
I was a fan of Seymour, but I believe the
police should charge him. Head of the European Union has spoken.
The EU has vowed tough countermeasures to the US tariffs.

(01:02:55):
European Union chief Versule Vondalan vowed on Will vowed today
that the US tariffs on stealing aluminium will not go
unanswered and they will trigger tough count measures from the
twenty seven nation block. The EU will act to safeguard
its economic interests. Tariff's are taxes, bads for business words

(01:03:15):
for consumers. They will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures will
be the population of people in the EU be more
than America, would it. You'd think so, wouldn't you. Twice
America's population seven hundred and forty two Oh, that's what

(01:03:36):
most of you Europe. It's not quite the same as it.
Four hundred and forty nine point two million. What's America?
Three twenty.

Speaker 8 (01:03:46):
Evening.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
Never, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:03:48):
Yeah, gooday, Marcus. Listen. You're talking about coins, and it
just reminded me. I've got a a you know, your
standard jug that you're boiling, you know, you bore watering.
I've got one of them, sort of a good half
full of old coins and in the way of pennies

(01:04:09):
and hape knees and shoppncers and sixpences and all that
sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 15 (01:04:17):
Yeah, I don't know what to do with them because
I've just turned eighty in January and and I'm on
my own and all the rest to this, So uh,
do oc case and then or give them to me?
Daughter only got one daughter. We only had one daughter.
No sons are why would you why would you know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Why would you not give them? Give them to a daughter?

Speaker 15 (01:04:38):
Well I can't, I could do, but what's she going
to do with them? She had any case? And then
I'm as okays and then and give her the money.
I haven't talked to her about And it's just because
it's come up tonight on the radio and I thought
we'll bugger just sitting there at the end of body
garage and and you know, I've had them for years
and years and years, Like I didn't buy them off anyone.

(01:05:02):
Those pennies and hapees. That's what I had when I started,
you know, provinces and yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
I mean cheapest where they are from.

Speaker 15 (01:05:16):
Well, I had I heard a piggy bank thing. I'm
the oldest and the family of four boys, and I've
got three brothers here and and we all had a
piggy bank thing. When we were kids. And then I
got a I got one of them read or things

(01:05:37):
from the post office that you've put put coins in,
and you know, and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
I just get rid of them. They probably have no value, Nave.

Speaker 15 (01:05:48):
Probably not. But I don't think that'd be worth much
at all because nobody, nobody corrected anything.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
And they won't be rare. The chance are them being rare.
Real coins were rare, I mean most coins, weren't we
there were so many of them.

Speaker 15 (01:06:01):
Yes, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Someone have some advice for you. How many did you
say you've gotten? You have like a couple of hundred,
like and a jug half a jug?

Speaker 15 (01:06:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, it has a week that more than
half a jug year. I don't have about three quarters
of juggers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Count them? Oh yeah, good for your mind? Count them?

Speaker 15 (01:06:23):
Yeah, I could canon. Let's take me half a day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
Something to do tomorrow? Well other plans did you have?

Speaker 18 (01:06:31):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:06:31):
I every day? Every day I'm busy out doing what well,
I do a lot of work for Daniel Burnham, for
the army. I've been in Mechinic all my wife. I've
been more navy, more damned.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Count your coins come back to us evening.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Paul evening, Marcus, I'm wondering, have you got room to
discuss the Super Bowl and half time?

Speaker 20 (01:07:02):
Yes, you covered that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
No, we're covered last night. I'm happy to cover the
in today.

Speaker 7 (01:07:08):
Okay. Well, I just found the game itself. Whether it's
ignorance of the game or what it is, but I
found it very very boring.

Speaker 21 (01:07:21):
Stop start, stop start. They took three, just three and
a half hours to cover the time that they were playing,
and that was you know, when the clocks have switched off,
they stretched off for a lot of a lot of
the time, you know, in between stops and the games,

(01:07:44):
and you know, you don't see people running as a
group passing the ball. It's certainly not rugby.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
No, but no, but Paul, I mean to be honest,
no one ever said it was like rugby. Super Bowls
always taken that this was not a particularly slow game.
This is that is that is the game.

Speaker 11 (01:08:01):
That's what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Yeah, that's an hour over four hours. Americans get together,
they eat, they have family, they get family together, they eat,
they have barbecues. It's the big event of the year, so.

Speaker 7 (01:08:15):
Huge showcase. It's a huge, huge showcase. But I just
saw it from the game it was rather boring for me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Well, all that, I've spent a lot of time today
listening to analysis of that game, and people think the
match was extraordinary in the team that won that So
everyone's saying it was an unbelievable game. So I think
you'd be a lone boys to say that, because because
people were astounded by how that the that they just

(01:08:47):
managed to smother that quarterback.

Speaker 7 (01:08:51):
Yeah, whether it's you just get caught up in all
or hype and it's just a big showcase, I'm not sure.
But the halftime musical event as it was called, that
does nothing for me either.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
But that's you, But that's you, that's you highlighting your
ignorance in some ways. I mean, he just came away
with Best Album at the Grammys, so.

Speaker 7 (01:09:18):
That's not that's my personal choice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Yeah, okay, yeah, you know how somewhere, But why did
you watch? Why did you watch a four hour game?

Speaker 7 (01:09:31):
And then it's interested. I was interested to watch it
right through because never before in my life I ever
watched the game. And you know, Keith Richards cool, people
who do rap his tone deaf. I tend to agree

(01:09:52):
with him.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
Who would have you rather had a halftime?

Speaker 8 (01:09:58):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:09:59):
Look anyone from the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties. There's two
much of this sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
And okay, yeah, Paul, I'm finding you for extremely uninspiring
and depressing. But that's fine. Forty watching some four hours
and with very stuff start. Yeah, anyway, Michelle, it's Marcus.
Good evening, good.

Speaker 22 (01:10:28):
Day, Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:10:29):
Hey.

Speaker 22 (01:10:30):
I loved it. Last one he was fib I really
do collect coins, said lovely man. Would like to connect
with me, obviously through your producer. I'd love to connect
collectors coins. I'm a coin collector. There's apparently a name.
I can't remember the word, but I think.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Michelle, I think you're an opportunist.

Speaker 6 (01:10:53):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
No, what's your most what's your most valuable coin? You've got?

Speaker 22 (01:10:59):
I don't have the nineteen fifty three threconds. It's only ahead.

Speaker 19 (01:11:05):
I don't have it.

Speaker 22 (01:11:06):
I just love coins metal, I really do.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
There you go, I love coins. I love metal. I
won't put callers in touch with each other via the
I don't do that. I think that's a bit creepy,
because I mean, you could rob him, you could murder him.
I don't know what's going to go on. He sounds
vulnerable to me. And Nev you could go around there.
I mean, yeah, I'm not going to do that. MAVs.

Speaker 9 (01:11:30):
Yeah, Hichas, how are you?

Speaker 19 (01:11:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:11:33):
Wonderful program. Now super Bowl was great. That guy needs
to get a life.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Think I needs to get such a life because he
clearly watched it knowing he would hate it.

Speaker 9 (01:11:44):
Holy hell, anyway, talk about me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
It was obviously that Kendrimar was a rap. If you
don't want to, don't. If you've got strong opinions, don't
watch it. I mean, to watch something just to reconfirm
your prejudices is the ultimate ignorance. Anyway.

Speaker 9 (01:11:59):
Yeah, anyway about Nev, he needs to get somebody to
help him, because he might have some quite valuable coin,
especially if it's the nineteen thirty five threats or a
nineteen fifty three as that woman was talking about. So
he can actually help get some young person go down
to the information center or you know there's some age concern,

(01:12:25):
all those sort of things, go and get somebody to help.

Speaker 7 (01:12:28):
Them have a look.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Or or just leave them there. Mavous. They're not doing
any harm, are they No.

Speaker 9 (01:12:35):
But the thing is he might be able to get
a nice little bit of cash for himself and have
a wonderful holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
I imagine they're worthless. MAVs ross.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Good evening, Oh, good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:12:46):
You're ringing from Napier.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Greetings.

Speaker 24 (01:12:50):
It's been a weird day here today. It's been a
what so wet, wevery wet day here today.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
It seems to be when you get the witnesses February
and January, isn't it?

Speaker 25 (01:13:00):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:13:01):
Yes?

Speaker 24 (01:13:01):
Also, but their farms will be happy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
Farm isn't never happy?

Speaker 24 (01:13:06):
That tip of the coins now year or maybe five now,
all the years of working different places, I used to
keep all these odd pennies and trippins and sixpences and
all that sort of thing. And I came to my grandson,
he lives down and I knew Yabata and because I knew,
I knew he wouldn't check them out because they will

(01:13:29):
be worth something. But anyway, he went to I think
it was whit Calls or one of those places, and
got these a folder with a whole lot of beeflets
in them, and they had provisions for different sized coins,
and he had a lot of fun putting them in there,
you know. And I was down there just recently to
visit them, and he had some more pennies here with

(01:13:50):
even Queen Elizabeth's grandfather on them, so they were pretty old.
And the half crowns and do all those sorts of things.
So I would suggested that Chap if he goes to
the likes of wit Calls or one of those places,
he might just pick up a folder and they'll give
him something to do too, to put them all in there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
You know, nice idea. I was appreciate that. Thank you
do you want to be dispirited by coins? Just got
to trade me go antiques and collectible's got a coins.
They're all worthless, just about very rarely is one with
any value. The only coins I like are ones with
holes in them. I love a coin with a hole
of them. But you can't do a coin with a
hole in them and the commonwealth because you can't put

(01:14:31):
a hole through the queen's head or the king's head.
Someone said coins make great washes for taps. I gave
the moa man two dollars worth of ten cent coins.
He wasn't happy, but he said he gave them to
other clients and their change just flewent from Rairo Markets.

(01:14:54):
We watched the Super Bowl a packed restaurant the Resort
we stayed and then everyone was on their feet sharing
what a great day. There's a me and who turns
those coins into jewelry which looks gorgeous as a store
at the Thames Market. I'm more keen on the five

(01:15:16):
and ten dollar notes becoming coins. That's my main thrust
at my discussion before we had the depressing Super Bowl guy,
oh yeah, he would have been better off watching Emma
Dale omnibus. Although I was multitasking as I watched it,

(01:15:40):
I didn't see the commercials. I think on ESPN, you
don't get that commercial That's right, a Dan, you don't
get those sort of which is always a bit boring
nineteen away from a living It's amazing people's reaction to
the super Bowl, like it's obviously America's greatest sporting occasion,

(01:16:00):
and you know, you know, h it's a different sport
to what we play. But American sport has its own
culture and everything that goes with it, you know, I mean,
surely you can tap into and enjoy it for what
it is rather having to compare it. And the kid

(01:16:24):
of life is enjoying everything. It wasn't a close game,
but boy, oh boy, there's never been a a team
that shut down a quarterback like that, it was the
greatest of all time. It was just he was just nullified.
Harry Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:16:46):
Good he how are you Marcus?

Speaker 11 (01:16:48):
Very good?

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:16:50):
Yeah, no, I've just.

Speaker 13 (01:16:53):
Yeah, I've been enjoying the talk about the coin. It's
not so much the Super Bowl, although that's not needed
neither here nor there. You know, I don't have much
opinion on that, but yeah, the coins. I heard someone
saying the coins are great for using them for taps.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Yeah, I wasn't so sure about that. I thought washers
had to have a hold of them, had to be rubbery.

Speaker 13 (01:17:18):
Yeah, me too. But I do have a curious item
that does have a five cent New Zealand five cent
piece on it. It's an old Yamaha guitar and one
of the knobs has come off it and someone's welded
a five cent piece to it. Looks quite nice. Actually,
the two atara there, so the other one's broken off,

(01:17:41):
just on the same, you know, the opposite side. So
I'm on the hunt for two atara piece, which shouldn't
be too hard to find. But yeah, the the curious
little thing you can.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Sor what are those called? Those knobs on the guitar.

Speaker 13 (01:17:58):
They called machine heads, are they? Yeah, machine heads or
some people would call them tuningbs or tuning keys perhaps,
but the technical term as machine heads. Yeah, it's quite
funny some of the some of the words for the guitars,

(01:18:19):
like people will know that. You know, there's the saddle,
the bridge, the neck. Everyone knows the neck, the head,
the body.

Speaker 21 (01:18:27):
The ribs.

Speaker 13 (01:18:29):
There's quite quite a lot goes into it. I forgot
the more curious ones.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
You'd want to replace all stick? There's sex out there
for there's six string guitars, are there?

Speaker 18 (01:18:40):
H Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:18:40):
This one is a twelve string, only two only two
are broken old. One's been replaced with the five cent piece.
But I just want to match that other one.

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
So we have to.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Would you want to wouldn't you want to replace all twelve.

Speaker 19 (01:18:56):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:18:57):
H of a, it would be pretty hard, John be Well,
you know it's it's good to keep everything as original
as possible, you know. I think incens is enough on
a guitar to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Yeah, cood, nice to hear from you, Harry for seven
from eleven him mariats Marcus, welcome Hi.

Speaker 25 (01:19:23):
A few years ago, I think it was a through
Life Saving Club. We're correcting everyone's old coins. Did they
still do it?

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Never heard of that? How long ago was that?

Speaker 26 (01:19:34):
Oh?

Speaker 25 (01:19:36):
Probably about six or seven years ago. And they took
all the old coins, you know, the ones that's happened
ton't shillings and all that, and I think they collected
them all over New Zealand. One of the paint shops
in christ Church they were collecting them. And I think
in Bolk selling the old coins, they got quite a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Oh, this will probably sound terrible. I don't even know
what coins we've got anymore. What have we got? We've
got a five is a five cent piece gone?

Speaker 25 (01:20:13):
I never get down that far. I think there's I
think the ten cents, then twenty fifty.

Speaker 16 (01:20:21):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
Did we melt Did we melt down all the five
cent pieces?

Speaker 25 (01:20:26):
I don't know, but I don't. I think all the
old coins that were present before the new coins. We've
got a dollar piece coin and the two dollar corn
the now they used to be mate now.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
The coins, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that, yeah,
the one, and I love the one. I don't they
should be five dollar corn and a ten dollar coin.
I'm all in on that Hi Mavis.

Speaker 27 (01:20:52):
Hello, it's I'm bringing on behalf of Liones Club's New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
Now.

Speaker 27 (01:21:01):
We are collecting all the old coins throughout New Zealand.
No matter what, any lines club will collect them and
even go and collect them off anybody, and they actually
go towards our youth programs throughout New Zealand and the

(01:21:23):
money goes direct to the Reserve Bank. And the lady
before was talking about a paint shop, Well that's where
all our coins. We thought them.

Speaker 19 (01:21:37):
Take them to.

Speaker 27 (01:21:40):
The resume officatives paint shop and they then carry them
to the Reserve Bank for us.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
And what youth programs are they funding, Davis.

Speaker 27 (01:21:54):
Well, all sorts of things like we have an international
youth camp every year where we have international students, exchange
students coming for a six week period and our young
people can go there and anything. It's not only just

(01:22:17):
if somebody wanted something very special and money with the
need that they can apply to the Youth camp for
it the youth's account. But it must all be done
through Lions Clubs.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Brilliant Davis, thanks for coming to appreciate that. There you go,
they are Lions Club.

Speaker 19 (01:22:40):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
By the way, they've said that the trouble that they
reckon getting rid of the penny. Trump's thinking's wrong because
if they stop making the pennies, then they'll need to
make a lot more nichols, and nichols are much much
more expensive to make. There is a pro penny group

(01:23:04):
that's explained it argument. So you, like all things, often
the obvious solution is not the best solution because Nichols
cost thirteen point eight cents to make. Marcus coins and
couches when working at the Mayfair, Crest and Brisbane the
eighties of Porter the foyer couches as such were always

(01:23:29):
good for bear or two of coins each shift. Great thing, Marcus.
There were millions of threepence coins minted every year except
for nineteen thirty five, running forty thousand were minted. That's
why they're so rare. What happened in nineteen thirty five
was in o metal. It wasn't the war get in touch.

(01:23:53):
Anything goes out of the end and suddenly people are
at the experts on the Super Bowl and the halftime entertainment,
fresh from his success at the Grammys. Either the way,
the Oscar nominations out today, oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine nine to de TEXTI you want to

(01:24:13):
be a part of it, coins, currency and fantasy football.

Speaker 15 (01:24:21):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
By the way, SHANEA. Don was prosecuted for driving his
tractor up the steps of Parliament, so there was president.
I presume David Sema would have known that bring back
one cent coins for bingo. The other thing that you
always I'll tell you something. Every time you would go

(01:24:44):
to the shows like the Easter Show, there were all
those games where you had a flat surface, a flat
round surface that rotated with watches and things on it
in plastic cups with arms that came across, and they

(01:25:06):
would always you'd buy pennies to use those. Oh that's
interesting to do anyone. I find that interesting. I don't
know why they did that. They just never recalibrated them.
Eleven eleven. My name is Marcus. Welcome if you want
to talk. It's what we're about. Head the Midnight an
old Cymour. Now he's going to be Deputy Prime Minister

(01:25:29):
and doing everything he can to take support away from
National Best Picture, Wicked Tick, Best Actress Cynthia Arrival, Wicked Tick,
Best Supporting Actress, Ario to Grande, Wicked Tick. I'm there

(01:25:50):
for all of it. I'm there for there's a halftime
show Wicked until I want to know that they got
enough nominations. I haven't seen any other movies, by the way.
I'm just all about Wicked, Best Original School. Then I

(01:26:14):
get that one best Sound Wicked, Best Visual Effects Wicked,
best makeup Wicked, while she's green. There you go, Good evening, Jerry,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:26:33):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus, happy Aia, thank you for taking
my call. I may I do an impersonation of Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
I've never ever, in all my years of talkback, had
anyone ever tried to do an impersonation. Of course you can.

Speaker 11 (01:26:56):
Good evening. Hello, this is Donald Trump. I have golden hair,
and I I'm now the President of the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
Well, jerryus not very good, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
I thought you have it down. That's not that's terrible.

Speaker 11 (01:27:15):
Okay. Well, I just want to say, Marcus that Donald
Trump in his home he has everything painted gold. All
his furniture and all his facilities are painted gold. And
I was thinking that all the supporters of Donald Trump

(01:27:37):
might think to themselves, you know, I sort of want it,
sort of want to be like Donald Trump in a
sort of a certain sort of way. So in New Zealand,
we don't worry about gold, but we do have silver.
So I was thinking many New Zealanders would like to
paint their homes, their furniture, their toilets, their bathrooms in

(01:28:02):
the color of silver.

Speaker 8 (01:28:06):
Is that it?

Speaker 11 (01:28:09):
Well, that would be there? There's some homage to you.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Is there a payoff to this called Gary because I'm
worry I'm worried about it.

Speaker 11 (01:28:18):
No, don't be worried. It's it's meant to be comforting
and trying to build up the new future of New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
I gotta go. I've done everything I can with you, Jerry,
It's terrible. You're terrible. Ron Marcus welcome, Yes, the evening
to you.

Speaker 26 (01:28:35):
Talking about coins and notes. I've got a few around it.
You may be have of interest to hear. Yes, I've
got the new llennium ten dollar notes. What about four
those brand new ones? I got the Reserve Bank news
there on one dollar notes. I've got ten five dollar

(01:28:58):
notes or brand or in good condition right through what
was Ron?

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
What was the millennium note?

Speaker 26 (01:29:07):
Earlier turn of the century.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
What's on it?

Speaker 18 (01:29:12):
Just what's on it?

Speaker 7 (01:29:15):
Uh?

Speaker 26 (01:29:16):
You got a locker on the front and it shows
the shows surfing as part of the people are surfing
or very things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Were they circulated, I can't remember.

Speaker 26 (01:29:33):
Yeah they were, but these days. I went into a
shop the other day or that, I'd see what one
person's series. Want to put that in with my normal notes?
That's paying an account?

Speaker 24 (01:29:46):
And she said, what's this?

Speaker 26 (01:29:48):
Never see one before?

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
No, I'm looking and I don't know if I've seen
one or what I love is the old ten dollar nights,
how blue they were?

Speaker 24 (01:29:58):
Ten the notes?

Speaker 26 (01:29:59):
Yep, that's the ones. I've got ten dollar notes. Reserve
Bank got two of those, the old.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
Blue You look like monopoly money.

Speaker 26 (01:30:07):
A yeah, nineteen ninety you've got a picture a young queen,
Queen Queen Elizabeth.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
You're on it.

Speaker 26 (01:30:17):
And tell you what, I've got some very rare coins.
I've got the nineteen twenty five Australian shilling. That's very rare.
A nineteen twenty seven Australian florin that's even rarer in,
a nineteen thirty five six boots quite rare.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
Does the value go up or is it kind of
like people are getting bored of collecting coins and their
values going down?

Speaker 26 (01:30:44):
Oh no, they just they hold that they hold the price.
I've had them for years and that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
How did they also got How do you know they
hold their price?

Speaker 26 (01:30:55):
Well, I've occasionally seen them, and you know when you
look around and the people that there, there is a
company that actually buys. They advertise the paper and magazines
and that really it's pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Plenty of people buying them. There's always traders, but I
reckon they're probably not. I reckon as an they don't
even appreciate much.

Speaker 26 (01:31:16):
Oh, I've got crowns going back to nineteen forties, losing crowns.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Got any you've got any bitcoin?

Speaker 26 (01:31:26):
Anyone I touched that stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
We can't touch it. That's that's our pointed bitcoin. You
can't touch it.

Speaker 26 (01:31:33):
Yeah, no, I don't want it, okay, I just I
just have my my own things, just just cash and outset.
But I've got one here though, it's got This one
is really it goes back to the Deutschraine and Hitler.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Themself creepers into Nazi memorabellia.

Speaker 26 (01:31:55):
Oh oh, I said that it's only it's only one note,
it's one million marks?

Speaker 8 (01:32:01):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
Is it from the wim or is that the pre
is it? When the inflation was out of control.

Speaker 26 (01:32:06):
This goes this is see now it says on ere
it wouldn't be nineteen September nineteen twenty three or thirty three.
Oh you have to be right, Yeah, that was a
right rush bank. That's an old thing as that's come across.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Do you still buy any do you still are you
still trading coins?

Speaker 6 (01:32:31):
Ron?

Speaker 26 (01:32:32):
I don't trade them. I've just I've just had these.
I've just been around. I just picked them up years ago,
and I've just had them all the time. The yea
thing I was. The thing I was trying to find
out is when we transferred out over to decimal currency
back in the sixties. Last year, I've still got the original,
the decimal currency one in brand condition.

Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
That is good.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
I know that people on trade me are always selling
notes with consecutive numbers. What's the deal there?

Speaker 26 (01:33:03):
Oh bet that's if they knew that you've got that
you're doing well?

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
Okay?

Speaker 26 (01:33:09):
Well, is that some summarise like the five dollar notes
and red ones for the coins said on they're going
to do a miracle order and these other turne the
century ones there that they're also in the party in
numerical order.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Nice dear from you on the trouble with coins. If
you collect them, what do you do with them? I
suppose if really got coin clubs, you take along your
coins and show each other. I don't really get collecting
a lot of the time, especially now, because the Internet
just buy them all. Oh, I buy that by that
kind of think the Internet's ruined collecting. Please discuss, yes, Typeway,

(01:33:47):
I'll buy that by that.

Speaker 6 (01:33:48):
By that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
The older used to go around second hand shops and
all sorts of stuff. That's just opinion. Glennis Marcus, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 23 (01:33:58):
I just found a half crown nineteen seventy five and
seventy and then my little collection just now I found
a half crown with nineteen seventy five. Would it be
worth anything?

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
But I doubt it. How much do you want? How
much do you think it might be? What would be
worth something to you?

Speaker 23 (01:34:16):
I don't know. Maybe they're probably only worth a bit
twenteen five dollars, but I've got little gold coins and
all sorts of him. My father had this when he died.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
What might be quite good is the cost of carbet
for coins? Cost a coin?

Speaker 23 (01:34:31):
Didn't you say six thousand dollars for half crown nineteen
seventy five on the radio someone just said or something.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
I don't think so.

Speaker 23 (01:34:39):
No, No, maybe I just like collecting things. It's all
like nostalgic, Like I've got a big plate, a fruit
plate the size of a of a table. It's a
huge porcelain plate, fruit bowl, and it's really really heavy.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
It's make what use your half crown?

Speaker 23 (01:34:59):
I am listening just nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
But I think we had decimal currency in seventy five.

Speaker 23 (01:35:06):
Maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe I need.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
Most Is it nineteen sixty five?

Speaker 23 (01:35:11):
No, seventy five on the back? You sure, yes, I've
got to I've ben see it with my eyes now,
nineteen seventy five through the magnifying glass. Yes, one nine
seventy five mm.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
I just thought it was all dis some currency in
sixty seven.

Speaker 23 (01:35:32):
No, I think they were like shillings, preferences, hate knees
and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Not in seventy five.

Speaker 23 (01:35:41):
Or maybe I'm mistaken.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
I don't know what's on the what's on the other
side of it?

Speaker 23 (01:35:46):
Just got a Queen's It might be a different coins
Queens New Zealand Elizabeth the first second?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Or has it got a value on it.

Speaker 23 (01:35:57):
No, one coin of a shape like a flower got
a flower shape. That's the Hong Kong two dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
On Hong Kong two dollars a year, Okay, and.

Speaker 23 (01:36:09):
Gold coins too, m oh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Assurances Assurances nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 23 (01:36:18):
Yes, I am Marcus. I'm not blind one seven five.
I can see it under my bedroom light.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Here its is half a crown.

Speaker 6 (01:36:29):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
How much was half a crown?

Speaker 23 (01:36:33):
What was them?

Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
How much was half a crown?

Speaker 23 (01:36:36):
I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
No, I don't know whether we'll find out more about
the Glenness. Thank you, twenty six past eleven, Marcus. I
have every New Zealand coin that's gone to circulations a
date and some that haven't gone to general circulation in
yearly sets. Marcus, there were special birth certificates for anyone
born in the year two thousand. Someone wants to know

(01:37:02):
whether it was a New Zealand coin. A lot of
Jerry's a lot of love for Jerry, someone says, Marcus.
That was one of the weirdest calls I've ever heard.
Nothing about Jerry made sense, especially when someone says, can

(01:37:23):
I do an impersonation and their personation starts off with
them saying they are the person that they're impersonating. I
am Donald Trump, I say no accident, I am Donald Trump,
I have orange hair. Was more like doing an audio
description of Donald Trump. Goodness, if they give away awards

(01:37:47):
for worst impersonations, I am Donald Trump. But worried about
worried about coin shaming Glenn's for her coin. But I
wonder if it isn't news it in coin there might
have been some crossover. I don't know. Twenty seven past eleve,
but Donald Trump is getting rid of the penny. But

(01:38:13):
the trouble is the nickel, the little lot more nickels,
and a penny costs three cents to make, and nickel
costs thirteen point five cents to make. You see, often
easy solutions aren't the easy solution? Are they? Almost? Top
past eleven will call it that. By the way, I

(01:38:37):
am aware of when decimal currency came in nineteen sixty seven.
That's right, Get in touch, Hettle twelve eight hundred eighty
eight nine text there is something different you want to

(01:38:59):
talk about? Yeah, if you've got any situation, what's happening
in Palmerston, North good also too, Totong in a situation
with the mayor who's living in Cambridge. He promised to
move to Totong. He hasn't done that. Kind of weird,

(01:39:19):
I reckon. I mean he just did. He just go
for the job because he thought he'd get voted in
because of his profile. I can't work it out, really, Marcus.
The full moon is starting tonight in at O Matty.
Maybe Jerry is from here? Are the one cent, two cent,
one dollar, two dollar coins and notes worth something? We're

(01:39:41):
growing up as kids we had cardboard boxes full of them,
used coins in a slingshot. My stranger's coin is a
half farthing that's one ninety sixth of a penny. It's
smaller than a threepence and made of the same stuff
as a penny. It would be worth much, would it?

(01:40:03):
I mean you wouldn't couldn't buy much with it, That's
what I'm saying. My grandmother gave me a gold sovereign
when I was a little girl, who has dated eighteen
ninety eight. I keep it in the glass locket with
silver edges. Nicola True. The old lines are desperate for
the coins to send kids overseas. Wouldn't their parents pay

(01:40:28):
for that? Please comment? Um welcome all how are you?
What's happening? Who wants to get me through the final
half hour? Seemoa up the steps. I guess probably the
question more about Seymour was what was his motivation? Did

(01:40:52):
exuberants get the better of him or was it more
calculated than that, because he seems to be sort of
apologizing and justifying, and I mean, I don't know if
it's a situation where any attention is good. Attention these
days with politics might be the case. And I guess

(01:41:14):
it's hard for coalition and partners to get back into government.
More often than not they don't. In fact, they pretty
much always don't get Beckon. Of course, remember old Seamour
always got him because he had the deal in Ipsom
and they enabled them to get their head of steam

(01:41:34):
up to get over the five percent threshold. But that
will probably subside before the election as people go back
to the two parties. Just a thought. Twenty eight, twenty seven,
twenty seven to twelve, Head on Midnight. My name as Marcus. Welcome.
It's all about coins and please people are so passionate

(01:41:56):
about them. No one cares about notes, do they?

Speaker 19 (01:42:00):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Evening Martin?

Speaker 8 (01:42:01):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
Welcome, h Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:42:05):
Large tubs have been collecting old coins since twenty nineteen.
It's a project called Heads Up for Kids, and old
coins are collected throughout the country and send down the
Reserve Bank and they get I don't know whether they
decide what it's worth, but since then they've made about
six hundred thousand dollars, which is quite and they've got

(01:42:29):
razine rasine cans like preamble of cans all over the place.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
You know, someone rang and someone wrung up the last
hour about that, but I was unclear what the money.
The money is to send children to camp.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (01:42:42):
Oh, just just a general general thing for kids. It's
called it's called Heads Up for Kids. Yeah, the money
generally goes to kids in need. Yeah, not necessarily a
particular who do you mentioned something they're going overseas. They
may well do, but you know, it's just mainly it's
four kids anyway, kids, and it's a lot of money.

Speaker 20 (01:43:05):
This is the old coins, old coins, old notes, fine coins,
because you know, fine coins, you can't take them to
the bank and get money back to them, so people
just go them away.

Speaker 5 (01:43:16):
But if we collect all those up and and one
night we sort of had them all up and put
them in different countries and then sent out off down
the Reserve Bank. And they've been doing it since, Like
I said, since Ince twenty nineteen, there has been a

(01:43:37):
good project.

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
What'd the Reserve Bank do with the Martin?

Speaker 5 (01:43:40):
I'm not sure mate, the answer with you?

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Did they melt They must have got about a pair
about about thirty tons, so they must have melted them down.

Speaker 5 (01:43:49):
I guess they melt them down here that maybe some
of them are valuable. I don't know to be asked,
but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Because yeah, I'll find out.

Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:43:57):
That's a good question, thank you, Marcus. Not sure if
you know. But more Egg who was a great talkback
contributor to die having seen her a bitchery in the
Post newspaper this week, now you need to tell me
more about that? Is this more rag that was from
a home on the Kupay coast, because I need to

(01:44:19):
know about that because she was good value. I hadn't
spoken to her for a year or two. She was English.
Has she been involved in rubber plantations or something? I
think I've got a bit of an obituary for a straightaway.

(01:44:39):
But that's good information for me. Yes, I remember her
well and I'm pretty sure it's this one too. More
rag hows of Pad passed away peacefully in Somerset on

(01:45:02):
the Coast in the ninety second year, loved and missed
by her wider family in the UK special thanks to
the Yes that was I remember a voice free clearly
and I'm just trying to I'm not gonna do the extent. Yes,

(01:45:27):
Scottish you remember a Dan?

Speaker 14 (01:45:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:45:29):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
Dan's big fan of more eggs. She often did be
doing things with a unit, wouldn't she unit? And I
think there was some connection with the Germans two if
I remember right?

Speaker 21 (01:45:43):
You know I have.

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
Many recollections of more egg, always good value, sort of
self deprecate more egg. A lot of texts coming through. Yes,
we all love more egg. Gosh, should let me know sooner.
She died on the second. It's the eleventh high Marcus.
More egg and I kind of do AVO like that,

(01:46:07):
wasn't it done? High marked, very rounded vowels. I think
she was still drive. She'd talk about a car. I
think COVID knocked around him. Maura should be off in
the car. What's she called about? Malee? She called it
May last year? What was she called about?

Speaker 14 (01:46:30):
What was it?

Speaker 8 (01:46:30):
What else?

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
Has she talked about. But I think she's involved with
rubber and was she involved with rubber and Malaysia? I've
got anyway, Hello Margaret Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:46:39):
Oh hi Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:46:40):
Who's a lady?

Speaker 15 (01:46:41):
You are?

Speaker 19 (01:46:42):
A few calls back with a half crown and she
said it was in nineteen seventy five, that it can't
possibly be because we were into, you know, the different
currency then, and she said the queen on the other
side of queen as it was the first, So maybe
it's eighteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
It's a very good point.

Speaker 19 (01:47:05):
I can't see it if the same.

Speaker 8 (01:47:07):
But you know, sometimes I.

Speaker 2 (01:47:09):
Tried to look up the value for it. It wasn't
there because it didn't exist. So that's why I didn't
want to coin. I didn't want a coin shame her.
But yeah, I can't work it out.

Speaker 19 (01:47:18):
Yeah, I think sure if she looks too little gets microus.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
Eighteen seventy five was Queen Victoria, wasn't it?

Speaker 12 (01:47:25):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:47:25):
I don't know. I didn't like history, Kevin, Yeah, Marcus, right,
I'm seventy three. I started by apprenticeship in nineteen sixty seven.
I got paid six pounds five a week. Yeah, a
half penny A hate me. Then a penny that's a penny,

(01:47:50):
and they were like copper. And then we went to
a front me bit a sixpence, a shilling, two shillings
or two bob, you know two and six is worth
two and six that's a half crown. Yeah, we didn't
have crowns, but I believe that the crown was worth

(01:48:10):
for fortun And then we went into the paper. Money
came bob, a quid and so on, So there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:20):
No, do we have a fathing, a farthing?

Speaker 4 (01:48:24):
Farthing? No farthing was gone in my time. That was
a filing, was the word of a heightening, but.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
That was long gone.

Speaker 2 (01:48:33):
Were you a brick layer?

Speaker 4 (01:48:35):
No, what became a capital layer?

Speaker 14 (01:48:39):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (01:48:39):
Your knees, oh make my knees are great? Oh thank god,
it's just the rest of me. They fall on the part.

Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
Given an old Morey Somerset on the coast. What I
want because when people said they got her obituary, but
actually want to I want to what's it when they
talk about your life at a funeral? What's that called you?
You Lucie? That's what I want to read. I want

(01:49:10):
more eggs you. I don't think I'm able to find it.
I would have watched that funeral online if i'd know one. Oh, oh,
