Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from News
Speaker 1: Talks at B.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Wednesday. Glad you could make it hit till twelve.
Speaker 2: Marcus is the name and great to be here. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eight. If you want to talk, Oh,
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty, that's the phone number. Different number.
Speaker 2: If you ring from overseas, you can call on WhatsApp,
Speaker 2: believe it or not. You can text on nine two
Speaker 2: nine do You can email Marcus at news TALKZB dot
Speaker 2: co dot WHATY Does that feel funny like? It's not
Speaker 2: the email. I don't know why that is. Seems so
Speaker 2: informal my email address, doesn't it. It's two o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning in Los Angeles. There could be some news
Speaker 2: coming out of there tonight. We'll keep an eye on that,
Speaker 2: although it will still be nighttime by the time I
Speaker 2: go off here there. Although it's yesterday, not today, but
Speaker 2: early in today, so we'll keep an eye on that
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the evening. A couple of things
Speaker 2: mainly I want to talk about tonight. Firstly is the
Speaker 2: opening of this road, and I'm kind of disappointed that
Speaker 2: the road was opened with such a soft opening because
Speaker 2: I like a hyped road opening. This is the Munu
Speaker 2: to Tatlado, a highway that goes through the wind farm.
Speaker 2: It looks spectacular. It's even point five k's to replace
Speaker 2: the old man or two gorge that had long slips.
Speaker 2: I think the trains still go through the gorge. So
Speaker 2: your train driver a text me last night. I wasn't
Speaker 2: quite sure if he's going through the gorge, and I
Speaker 2: presume they must. So the first vehicles traveled the road
Speaker 2: this morning. I can't quite work out why more of
Speaker 2: a song and dance wasn't made of it, and why
Speaker 2: there wasn't a walk by eleven point five. That's perfect
Speaker 2: for families, candy floss buses taking people back hats. Ah'd
Speaker 2: be a great thing for the family who wouldn't remember
Speaker 2: walking on a road I walked that were first opened.
Speaker 2: That absolutely absolute waste opportunity, not having open uness. They
Speaker 2: did anyway, So that's a situation. The speed limit would
Speaker 2: be one hundred climeters per hour with two lanes divided
Speaker 2: by a flexible median barrier. That's a good thing or
Speaker 2: a bad thing. Why is it flexible? So anyway, if
Speaker 2: you've been on that road, today because you wouldn't been
Speaker 2: on it Earliss know what it was like. They're calling
Speaker 2: the project so much more than a road. Wetlands, stream diversions, mahey,
Speaker 2: toy artwork on the lookouts, structures and roundabouts. I don't
Speaker 2: know how many roundabouts are if the roundabouts are clear,
Speaker 2: So I do like a new road. The people of
Speaker 2: Woodfulle are excited, the people of Esshurst are excited. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it's up on Google Maps already. So if you've
Speaker 2: experienced this road, let us know what it's like. You
Speaker 2: might be driving as we talk tonight. That would be
Speaker 2: even better expensive for eleven point five kilometers. Can you
Speaker 2: bike it? By the way, be a shame if you
Speaker 2: couldn't buke it. Can you bike it? Can you walk it?
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to these things. I'll just
Speaker 2: t I see if it's live on Google Maps yet
Speaker 2: I can't actually see where it is at State Highway through.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, it's not yet on Google Maps. You
Speaker 2: can see the road works, but you can't see the
Speaker 2: road opened. That's bad, isn't it. Well maybe you can
Speaker 2: see a little bit of it. So anyway, if you've
Speaker 2: been on that road today or want to comment on that.
Speaker 2: Let us know. The number is eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: ten eighty nine twos. I'll say one thing for it.
Speaker 2: It looks a lot sunnier than the road through the gorge.
Speaker 2: That was kind of a god forsaken kind of a road,
Speaker 2: wasn't it. Cold hills on one side and the river
Speaker 2: on the other. Miserable kind of place for a river.
Speaker 2: But this would be great for the people that want
Speaker 2: to commute from Woodville from Mangetuanoka. My lost their job
Speaker 2: at the brewery because that no longer runs from pay
Speaker 2: Here tour. All those people will be commuting to Parmas
Speaker 2: to North. They'll be loving and Danny urk. That's situation.
Speaker 2: The road has opened. If you're a part of that,
Speaker 2: let me know how that worked out for you. That's
Speaker 2: what I want to start the whole thing about tonight.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know why it opened in such
Speaker 2: a weird way. Normally they are falling over themselves politicians
Speaker 2: to open it. I don't quite know what happened there.
Speaker 2: See ahu A Tudanga is the name eleven point five
Speaker 2: killing me to four lane highway that runs from Parmerston North,
Speaker 2: weaving through wind farms to the tuddler town of Woodville.
Speaker 2: I don't know how much it was budgeted, but it's
Speaker 2: eight hundred and twenty four million dollars. Seems fair. I
Speaker 2: guess they're throwing good money after bad keeping the old
Speaker 2: road open. Anyway, if you've been and that, let me
Speaker 2: know how that's worked out for you. It's eleven past eight,
Speaker 2: good evening, Grant, It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually the mayor of Parmers North and I
Speaker 3: know a bit about the road. So look at can
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 2: Can I just throw something at you? There was there
Speaker 2: was a bit of fear mangring it was going to
Speaker 2: be told, was it? And they stopped there? Is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well done?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it was a bit of It was a
Speaker 3: bit of i'd say a little bit of trepidation that
Speaker 3: it was going to be told. But look, I'm just
Speaker 3: actually an Asheist right now at a community meeting and
Speaker 3: that the new road has opened to a bit of
Speaker 3: fan fare, I mean a lot of commentary about how
Speaker 3: great it is, and you know, seven minutes between the
Speaker 3: two towns of Ashurst and Woodsville, it is a it
Speaker 3: is a great scenic road too, so look, it's it's
Speaker 3: fantastic for us here in the in the Manowood city
Speaker 3: and also for Taro and Hawk's Pay. Is it an
Speaker 3: easy drive, Yeah it is, although it's got a gradient
Speaker 3: very very similar to Transmission Gully, so yeah, it's but
Speaker 3: it's an amazing piece of engineering feat to go through
Speaker 3: the middle of basically the hills there and and also
Speaker 3: the wind turbines on either side, so it is quite
Speaker 3: a picturesque as you come down on the Hawk's Bay
Speaker 3: side or the Tartarua side looking towards the Tararua Valley
Speaker 3: and the real hanging ranges on one side, and you
Speaker 3: come down on the other side into the Muno with
Speaker 3: two you can on a good day you can see
Speaker 3: out to the sea and certainly Mount Hu on one
Speaker 3: side and out to the almost Foxed and the man
Speaker 3: Or Two River.
Speaker 2: Has it caused a land grab to the east that
Speaker 2: people want to buy properties there because it's now much
Speaker 2: easier to commute to Palmerston North.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think it will be a Woodville will become
Speaker 3: a commute well, it already is a commuter town to
Speaker 3: Palmerston or City and the easy easiness of being able
Speaker 3: to get across now and to and from work. What
Speaker 3: I think will make Woodville very attractive to new home
Speaker 3: buyers and those sorts of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's fantastic. Okay, So it's all go. And
Speaker 2: what was the openin? Was it kind of a soft opening?
Speaker 2: Was this always a day that was planned to open?
Speaker 3: You had it, you were right on the money, and
Speaker 3: maybe the money was the thing they didn't They didn't
Speaker 3: put enough into in terms of opening it, but they
Speaker 3: missed an opportunity. Transport agents. Yeah, the Transport Agency opened
Speaker 3: it on Saturday morning, but they could have done a
Speaker 3: free community day where people could just walk the bridge.
Speaker 3: You know, it had because there's two magnificent bridges, the
Speaker 3: pretty Harker Bridge which goes over the one or two river,
Speaker 3: and then I've got an eco bridge across the Wetlands
Speaker 3: area and it is very spectacular. And there was an
Speaker 3: opportunity where people had put up with basically seven years
Speaker 3: of you know, lots and thousands of cars and trucks
Speaker 3: a day through the village of ashes Dan Woodsville, and
Speaker 3: now they're going back down to nine hundred with the
Speaker 3: new road sort of opening and just on the side
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: So it's cause of celebs cause of celebration, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2: And the train still go through the gorge. Have I
Speaker 2: got that correct?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: It does.
Speaker 3: And look, if you go back to the late eighteen hundred,
Speaker 3: they used picks and shovels to open up the train.
Speaker 3: The train, you know, the rightway line was went through,
Speaker 3: but on the other side, on the on the road side,
Speaker 3: they dynamize of it. And you know that probably has
Speaker 3: been the difference of why they had all the slips.
Speaker 2: Are you going for another shot at the mayalty grant?
Speaker 2: Are you you're going again?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to have another crack three more years
Speaker 3: and we'll see how it.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 2: Is there any one money against you or or that
Speaker 2: you're like because you've been out of the news so much,
Speaker 2: I mean you haven't really, I mean there's been no
Speaker 2: great abdication. You're you're a dead suirit to be beck
Speaker 2: and are.
Speaker 3: You well you can never be complacent. But I've been
Speaker 3: the mere for a decade now, and as you say,
Speaker 3: sometimes when you're not on the news, that's good.
Speaker 2: It's a very good thing. Right. Well, look, thank you
Speaker 2: for giving us your time tonight, and I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2: There we go, that's the road, it's open, that's the
Speaker 2: mirror of Parmeston. So it goes between it's actually not,
Speaker 2: so it goes between essurist and woodful. I guess you'd
Speaker 2: say it, But he's quite right. They should have a
Speaker 2: bit more of a song and dance about the opening
Speaker 2: of that one. But there you go. If you you
Speaker 2: yourself have driven that and got a road report for us,
Speaker 2: would be nice to hear from you. Oh eight hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty love a new road, four lanes
Speaker 2: bangs for your buck Ooh, Marcus, of the barriers flexible
Speaker 2: will be a wire rope barrier motorcyclist standing me, He's like, well,
Speaker 2: there's a cheese cutter. I think the bikers don't like them. Marcus.
Speaker 2: Is there anyone else who is sickened by the new lotto?
Speaker 2: Add who wants to see idiot button aked in the
Speaker 2: snow with god forsaken music that gets stuck in your head?
Speaker 2: Put me buying lotto wherever credit should be fired. So
Speaker 2: it's a person that says that they will if they
Speaker 2: win lotto, they'll ski nagged. I don't have a problem
Speaker 2: with it at all. That's funny, isn't something to be
Speaker 2: offended by that, But oh well, you can walk it,
Speaker 2: you can buy it, and a flexible barrier to the
Speaker 2: wire rope. So there we go. That's a situation with
Speaker 2: this new road. If you've got some experience that, let's
Speaker 2: be hearing from me the brand new road. Oh eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty and nine nine. Keep you I
Speaker 2: think we're out without the bad weather day. We haven't
Speaker 2: got the thunder report. It's a good thing. So I'll
Speaker 2: keep you updated if anything else happens. But if you
Speaker 2: don't want to get involved, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty,
Speaker 2: this is the new highway that well, it sort of
Speaker 2: like open Saturday, would also open today. But yeah, it's funny,
Speaker 2: isn't that he says that. That guy says repicturesque going
Speaker 2: through wind farms, And it's certainly wind farms have become picturesque,
Speaker 2: haven't they, Because for a while they're people were doing
Speaker 2: their damnedest to not have them in their neighborhoods. But
Speaker 2: now we seem to be much more kind of easy
Speaker 2: with them. There's also kind of a lot of terraced hills.
Speaker 2: You know, they've benched big hillsides to stop them slipping.
Speaker 2: It's impressive roadworks. So yeah, I was impressed with our
Speaker 2: transmission when I went through that for the first time.
Speaker 2: I'm sure this is the same if you want to
Speaker 2: comment on that eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, if
Speaker 2: he wants to talk about the Loto ad. I think
Speaker 2: it's quite quite that people still complain about ads, because
Speaker 2: I would say for most people they're viewing experience, they
Speaker 2: never see ads. For the fact you're still watching them
Speaker 2: means you're pretty old school. Like most we have a
Speaker 2: remote if there's something they don't like. The other story
Speaker 2: that's got a bit of interest from me today is
Speaker 2: the statistics figures that have come out today. Pretty amazing
Speaker 2: story is and probably for the first time ever, there
Speaker 2: is net migration from the North Island to the South Island.
Speaker 2: And I think ever since the gold Rush ended in
Speaker 2: the eighteen sixties, pip have been heading north. Of course,
Speaker 2: the South Island for a long time was the most
Speaker 2: populars but then of course the North Island has taken
Speaker 2: over and dominated for a long long time. But now
Speaker 2: it seems that the flower is going the other way
Speaker 2: and more than forty thousand people have moved from the
Speaker 2: North Island to Canterbury. Since twenty eighteen, eighty six thousand
Speaker 2: people have moved from the North Island to the southig
Speaker 2: in the last five years, thirty thousand more than people
Speaker 2: that went in the opposite direction. Seas Auklan always said
Speaker 2: to be full of people that have moved up from
Speaker 2: the South Island. Now in fact, the South Island of
Speaker 2: christ Judges full of people have moved down from the
Speaker 2: North Island where with big stories to tell get in touch.
Speaker 2: My name is Marcus head On Midnight. So if you
Speaker 2: are one of those people that's moved from the north
Speaker 2: end of the South Island, how was the experience in
Speaker 2: what advice would you give to others? I think any
Speaker 2: advice when you're moving from one town to another is
Speaker 2: just stay on the down low. Don't come in and
Speaker 2: kick up too much of a fuss. That never works.
Speaker 2: Nest it's Marcus, good evening.
Speaker 7: Good evening, Marcus. Yeah, I just want to talk about
Speaker 7: I love in Gennie Rouge. I just want to talk
Speaker 7: about new road really exciting. David opened. So I think
Speaker 7: all live in Denny Vige to Mute to Paris, the
Speaker 7: North and basher Forth. I lived in Deny Vue for
Speaker 7: about four years now, but I've still got family in Paris,
Speaker 7: and also I can mute quite regularly, so it's quite exciting.
Speaker 7: And the shopped this morning my daughter because she worked
Speaker 7: from Paris and all from Jennie Voge. It takes me
Speaker 7: just want to have the roads open, and we kind
Speaker 7: of didn't know when it was going to open, so
Speaker 7: I hid the meal of town. Someone speaking before it
Speaker 7: was kind of a little bit of a missed opportunity. Yeah,
Speaker 7: for some sort of sort of celebration.
Speaker 2: Well he should he should have driven that. It was
Speaker 2: his job to get that going. How long did how
Speaker 2: long din a victorpartments north? Is it forty minutes?
Speaker 7: For well, fifteen minutes of my little calf and of
Speaker 7: you go from Getty Ricka up to the gett a
Speaker 7: road that's not a nice road.
Speaker 2: Was a new road? How long does it take with
Speaker 2: a new road?
Speaker 7: Apparently? Well, I don't notice. I cann't travel it today,
Speaker 7: so okay, only only the other way?
Speaker 2: Did your door to say? How much quicker it was?
Speaker 7: She did? It was quite nice. It was quite nice,
Speaker 7: but she was she didn't even know what was going
Speaker 7: to be open either, So until she went to go
Speaker 7: the end. Then she takes me to this open man, so.
Speaker 2: She should she should have taken you.
Speaker 7: Well, she was going to work so this morning and
Speaker 7: it came back tonight. So it's because I lived right
Speaker 7: on the State Highway three and I got the railway
Speaker 7: track on one side and end the State highway on
Speaker 7: the other side. So yeah, they looked looked forward to
Speaker 7: it so long. So yeah, I'm looking forward to traveling tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I've put into Google Maps, but the Google Maps is
Speaker 2: not showing the new road.
Speaker 7: Obviously take a better time.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm not very happy with that. Actually I
Speaker 2: thought that would be up to date.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we didn't know Thomas mon I needed, so I guess.
Speaker 2: It takes you haven't got much of a bush telegraph
Speaker 2: there and Eddio. That's disgusting that you've got no idea
Speaker 2: when you road. Don't know that'd be the only story
Speaker 2: in town.
Speaker 7: I was only just said my daughter takes me when
Speaker 7: she was going to week Sat, and so nobody knew
Speaker 7: what date or it was officially open on Saturday, and
Speaker 7: the governing officials come through and not open to the public,
Speaker 7: so we didn't know exact they win.
Speaker 2: So yeah, people are more people are more people moving
Speaker 2: to Donaverk or leaving Diana Vik.
Speaker 7: It's been hard to say. And between we're getting a
Speaker 7: lot of awkward people coming and I don't.
Speaker 2: Think, I don't think have been moving ton would.
Speaker 7: They mean awkward people coming to Jenny vug This the
Speaker 7: main year really.
Speaker 2: Buying a renter or moving there and gloating about how
Speaker 2: much money they made with their house selling their house
Speaker 2: up down.
Speaker 7: Well, they're not not gloating. They're buying and buying a
Speaker 7: house and just finding a lot cheaper.
Speaker 2: And and what are they doing for a crust Well, we're.
Speaker 7: Still working and you know, working from home, and they're
Speaker 7: still doing whatever they do.
Speaker 2: Or don't ask like influences or fitness consultants or what
Speaker 2: would you do from home?
Speaker 7: And Genny Vik, I don't know because they don't ask
Speaker 7: them so.
Speaker 2: Much what they're doing.
Speaker 7: They'll change the lifestyle for them though. That's the flower
Speaker 7: paint and one that I thought she seemed to be
Speaker 7: quite eppy.
Speaker 2: So it's a long way for.
Speaker 7: I guess, so which is yeah, but you've got to
Speaker 7: foot with the beds.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you got any roundabouts?
Speaker 7: Uh? Maybe one? Maybe no too, you got you got one?
Speaker 2: But you've got one. No parking meters, no tarking meters.
Speaker 7: No, it's quite yeah, quite simple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who runs who runs the town?
Speaker 7: The local mers? Tracy Martin? Yeah yeah, Terror district.
Speaker 2: She's the one that killed him mother? Who was that
Speaker 2: that killed him mother? Remember that? Is it Tracy Martin?
Speaker 7: Just not that one of Terror district? So not who
Speaker 7: you know? Okay, but anyway, Yeah, interesting shows the interest
Speaker 7: you listen to see what other people do know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, that's for sure. So yeah, I think it
Speaker 2: was Tracy Martin. They wrote a book about that, didn't
Speaker 2: They was like, a might have got that wrong flit
Speaker 2: the note, but you know, Lawsy read a book about her,
Speaker 2: forget what a day. It was pretty sure was Tracy Martin. Anyway,
Speaker 2: the name will country from Fong and anyway, Oh eight
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty toil eighty nine two nine two to
Speaker 2: tict So that's a pretty interesting half hour, moving to
Speaker 2: the north end of the South Island, moving to small towns.
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to talk about, feel free to
Speaker 2: come through. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
Speaker 2: two nine two to text. Anything else you want to
Speaker 2: talk about. I'd love to hear from you, Oh, eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
Speaker 2: There's something else you want to talk about? Oh, Leslie Martin,
Speaker 2: it was not Tracy Martin. That's good. Do get in touches,
Speaker 2: I say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
Speaker 2: to two, nine to two to text here till twelve.
Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of it. Is
Speaker 2: there something I just want to mention? I walk up
Speaker 2: the Eye on Overseas News, Dream Now and Midnight Tonight
Speaker 2: also too. We're talking about moving from the North Island
Speaker 2: to the South Island. It's like reverse fly, isn't it. Jordan,
Speaker 2: It's Marcus, Welcome, good evening.
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 2: Jordan? Are you a mover?
Speaker 10: I am, yes, recently from Auckland down to the Otaga
Speaker 10: region into Dunedin.
Speaker 2: Wow, because.
Speaker 10: Cheap houses.
Speaker 2: Did you realize, did Jordan? Did you realize was a thing?
Speaker 10: I guess like from from I've not of mates have
Speaker 10: lived down in the South and then gone up to
Speaker 10: Auckland to earn a bit more, and then obviously it
Speaker 10: goes a bit further down there in kennerburtin Otago.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just never realized. I mean when the sense
Speaker 2: of stuff comes through, it looks like it's a really
Speaker 2: big deal. With eighty six thousand people, almost one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand moving to the North Island from the North Island
Speaker 2: to the South within five years, it's a big deal.
Speaker 11: Sure is.
Speaker 2: Is it worked out for you?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Well maybe not like super uncommon, but I guess we
Speaker 10: made it work by we took our Auckland jobs down
Speaker 10: with us, both my wife and I. We work for
Speaker 10: tech companies up at Auckland, and with the work from
Speaker 10: home from COVID that's translated into the role can now
Speaker 10: be kind of remote from New Zealand. So we're just
Speaker 10: I just took there as an opportunity to go somewhere
Speaker 10: a bit cheaper Stanley down there as well.
Speaker 8: So yeah, do.
Speaker 2: The bosses ever want to see you in Auckland?
Speaker 10: Yeah, actually I'm here at the moment. That's how I
Speaker 10: caught winding there in my mum's cash. She's got z beyond,
Speaker 10: so that's how he's asking about it. Yeah, So yeah,
Speaker 10: up here at the moment. Just come back from time
Speaker 10: to time because obviously there's always good stuff to do
Speaker 10: it in person, but.
Speaker 2: Because that is the hussle from the end of the airport.
Speaker 2: So is far damn far away. A. That's the that's
Speaker 2: the big downer.
Speaker 10: Yes, ye, it's probably the biggest drive you can do
Speaker 10: down there. Actually, Yes, from from like the Oxygen out
Speaker 10: past moscowle out to the airport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so tell me how many years since you moved down?
Speaker 12: Just this year?
Speaker 10: Actually very recently?
Speaker 2: Okay, because the whole thing that's key I reckon is
Speaker 2: when you move from one place to the other, is
Speaker 2: when you realize that it's permanent. Has that happened for
Speaker 2: you yet? Have you settled in straight away or is
Speaker 2: it still a work in progress and you might move back?
Speaker 10: Now we're committed. Now we bought some property, yes, so
Speaker 10: I guess that's made it pretty real. Yeah, so definitely
Speaker 10: just gonna I guess paid down mortgage there. And maybe
Speaker 10: maybe it changes again, like if the job market changes
Speaker 10: and people don't let you work from home anymore. But
Speaker 10: while while it works, it works, and I think that's
Speaker 10: where we'll be.
Speaker 2: Is there is there any down side with it to
Speaker 2: be working from home?
Speaker 9: Definitely?
Speaker 10: I would say it does impact on your upward mobility,
Speaker 10: like you're not really coming across the opportunities. There's not
Speaker 10: I guess interned and there ares and tech jobs given
Speaker 10: day where the gigatown when five or first came through.
Speaker 10: But obviously I think especially for the work that we're doing,
Speaker 10: it's definitely all happening in Auckland. Maybe a little bit
Speaker 10: in christ Church too, but so.
Speaker 2: Career advance when in getting hit hunted and stuff that's
Speaker 2: not going to happen because those people aren't there. Is
Speaker 2: that kind of what you're saying.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And I think also just with the amount of
Speaker 10: people out of work. If you know, if someone came
Speaker 10: across your LinkedIn or something and said, hey, we've got
Speaker 10: an opportunity for you, if you said I have to
Speaker 10: be I'm playing them allagine living indeed, and then maybe
Speaker 10: they'd look past you for probably ten other candidates that
Speaker 10: they've got available in an orpened in person.
Speaker 2: Have you found it easy to meet people?
Speaker 10: Yes, Actually one thing we different they noticed was introducing
Speaker 10: yourself to friends of friends. People are quite quite almost
Speaker 10: more accommodating I would say, down there than they are
Speaker 10: even though you aren't out of town and from the
Speaker 10: big city.
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely quite accommodating.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess probably quite surprised because for so long
Speaker 2: people leaving to need to head north. I mean the
Speaker 2: thing that now that the reverse things started, it's probably
Speaker 2: quite exciting for people. Yeah, exactly your house isn't too cold,
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 10: No, No, it's it's got all the nice things that
Speaker 10: heat pump, they would burners both keep we keep it
Speaker 10: nice and warm.
Speaker 2: The great thing about in a cold climate you can
Speaker 2: always if you're always stuck for a conversation, if you
Speaker 2: discuss what sort of firewood you're burning, that you can
Speaker 2: go for days about that. That you're never alone with
Speaker 2: a conversation like that. That's everyone could talk about firewood.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And obviously I gues said the same Vein, Like
Speaker 10: you go to the shops, people are much willing to
Speaker 10: just talk about anything. Yeah, have longer random conversations than
Speaker 10: I guess I found it awkward.
Speaker 2: Did you just choose to or did you look around
Speaker 2: islet towns in the South Island before you head on Dunedin.
Speaker 13: Leeden?
Speaker 7: Was?
Speaker 10: It was mainly for the family that we had there already.
Speaker 9: Okay, so here that was the big draw.
Speaker 2: Really interesting to talk Jordan, Thank you so much to that,
Speaker 2: very generous with your information. Find this fascinating, absolutely fascinating
Speaker 2: because your thought. For a long time the South Island
Speaker 2: was dying, but then there was the quake in the rebuild,
Speaker 2: and then of course Central Targo is growing like topsy
Speaker 2: because it's spectacular despite all its planning issues. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: let's not forget Rolliston growing like there's no tomorrow. I
Speaker 2: think there's forty thousand people or something there. I think
Speaker 2: it's the fifth biggest place in the South Island. All
Speaker 2: these things are great stories and affordability, work life balance, YadA, yadia. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the advocate for but I
Speaker 2: kind of was there but a while ago with a
Speaker 2: north south switch and yeah, no complaints at all. Get
Speaker 2: in touch, you want to talk. Moname is Marcus welcome
Speaker 2: Eddal twelve. The new road, the one or two tunnel,
Speaker 2: a highway, that's topic one. Topic two. All these people
Speaker 2: moving from the North under the side. I couldn't believe
Speaker 2: when I saw the article. Seems all the young people
Speaker 2: heading overseas, the progressives and those that want to stand
Speaker 2: in the moving to the South Island. Ten percent of
Speaker 2: those moving south have come from Wellington, So now four
Speaker 2: point three percent of whin Tonians are living in the
Speaker 2: South Island. New Zealand North Island is moving to christ Church.
Speaker 2: If one aim in common affordability, they've discovered it's not
Speaker 2: all about the money. Everything's a bit slower. Knowing in
Speaker 2: a rush less win less traffic, less rent and a
Speaker 2: lot more sun.
Speaker 9: You go.
Speaker 2: A lot of people like a lifestyle block too, don't they.
Speaker 2: So there we go. It's amazing. After the quake, everyone
Speaker 2: thought that christ Church would well, not everyone, but they thought, well,
Speaker 2: it's touch and go where the christ Church would survive
Speaker 2: and Canterbury's blossomed. The new road, the new road that's
Speaker 2: open and moving from the northide to the south side.
Speaker 2: There're two of the discussions that we've got on today.
Speaker 2: I'll get to the texts. Go to Newtube. You go
Speaker 2: to YouTube for an overview of Munuwatu the road that's
Speaker 2: from nol Marcus, you reminded me of the old Hot
Speaker 2: Road and Wellington. Traffic lights are on gentries over the road.
Speaker 2: That center lane could change directions being on the morning
Speaker 2: of the evening rush hour is that's like the Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 2: Marcus moved from Stratford, Taranaki to Maruya. True story to
Speaker 2: Eden's supermarket band. Customers from wearing slippers.
Speaker 14: Oh, Marcus.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's harder for more recent immigrants to
Speaker 2: make them move. Marcus, visiting family in the South Island's
Speaker 2: like returned to the good old days of thirty or
Speaker 2: forty years ago. A lot of Auckland's become like a
Speaker 2: pig stye Marcus, I wonder how many of those Wellington
Speaker 2: people that are moving down to the South Island ex
Speaker 2: government workers have rescuing made redundant. I went the opposite
Speaker 2: way several years ago, from the South Island to the
Speaker 2: North Island. Well I guess if you are a Wellington
Speaker 2: bureaucrat and you're out of work, you may as well
Speaker 2: go somewhere it's more affordable to live for a while
Speaker 2: as your regroup. I would have thought a lot of
Speaker 2: those people had gone overseas. That was the great fear
Speaker 2: when they cleaned out the bureaucracy, as a lot of those
Speaker 2: people and those skills will be lost forever because you're
Speaker 2: not coming back from Australia, because the figures of the
Speaker 2: young people moving to Australia are through the roof. And
Speaker 2: that's the real worry. Evening, Marty Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 15: You know, Marcus, I've got a field Day's report and
Speaker 15: a new roundabout report about the priory roundabout how it
Speaker 15: handled its thirst field days today?
Speaker 2: How fast the part of any roundabout from the field
Speaker 2: days forty k's or further than that.
Speaker 15: So normally it would take thirty five minutes to get
Speaker 15: to the field days and this morning we left at
Speaker 15: eight o'clock and we were there about forty five minutes,
Speaker 15: so it was ten minutes longer. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: What are you looking for? You're looking to buy more
Speaker 2: collars for your cows? Is that what you're into? What
Speaker 2: are you looking for?
Speaker 15: Taking the kids, taking the three youngest and send them
Speaker 15: out on a little the quest. I had to find
Speaker 15: how much the average farc spends on fertilizer the balanced
Speaker 15: tent there was one path to. The second one was
Speaker 15: the price of a new John de attractor, which is ridiculous,
Speaker 15: and the third one was getting a free hat.
Speaker 2: Why don't we make our own tractors?
Speaker 15: Wow, for the price of that John Dee a tractor,
Speaker 15: I think you can make quite a few tractors.
Speaker 2: How much is a John Dere We brought.
Speaker 15: One about five years ago and it was one hundred
Speaker 15: and five thousand, four one hundred and seen normals and
Speaker 15: gets how much it is today in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 15: same tractor with a fronting loader.
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty one eighty thousand. I hate it
Speaker 2: when you guess just right that Rick's a guest, doesn't
Speaker 2: it That does seem a lock the way.
Speaker 15: It seems like, yeah, and so wondering why you're not
Speaker 15: selling as well? Wow, that's seventy five thousand too much
Speaker 15: and this hasn't even exactly the same model.
Speaker 2: Did he sharpen his pencil for field day deal?
Speaker 16: Wow?
Speaker 15: The other one, it's probably the twy Corolla effects that's
Speaker 15: probably too good and last too long and don't break
Speaker 15: down enough. They need to make them a bit shittier.
Speaker 2: How much would you sell your old one for?
Speaker 16: Well?
Speaker 15: Here he can Well that's the thing they're trying to
Speaker 15: get you on the Tayden. Here he can give me
Speaker 15: the same price back for it, and then you don't
Speaker 15: have to pay seventy five thousand for the new one.
Speaker 15: I'd do that, Yeah, possible, fash happened depencil Maybe maybe
Speaker 15: for sixty, but.
Speaker 2: It's just the same. It's not gonna it's got no
Speaker 2: more bought bells or whistles or anything.
Speaker 15: Yeah, pretty much just the same. Yeah, I couldn't. They
Speaker 15: don't actually have one yet, but I've seen about fender
Speaker 15: them lined up in the yards. They got a lot
Speaker 15: for me to go.
Speaker 2: What's the other anyway? What's the other Thing's got people
Speaker 2: talking at the field days?
Speaker 15: Ah, it was all about drones. It was about one
Speaker 15: hundred different drone dealers.
Speaker 2: Now what are the drones for? For for fertilizer or
Speaker 2: for rounding up your candle or what?
Speaker 15: I think they just mainly for driving around and your
Speaker 15: farm and like looking at things. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So you're sit at home in the lounge on your
Speaker 2: lazy boy. You got that rigged up to the TV.
Speaker 2: You're just watching with screen.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 15: So you got the Warriors on, you got your throwing
Speaker 15: out there picking on things, you got the you got
Speaker 15: your one hundred and eighty thousand dollars tracks tucked up
Speaker 15: on the shed. You're are ready to go?
Speaker 2: Do yourself a hot did you yourself a hot dog
Speaker 2: or anything special?
Speaker 17: Many?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 15: So the balance the balance pit came through with the
Speaker 15: best brief. I quite like join my free food there.
Speaker 15: But there was gourmet pies and balanced tint and quite
Speaker 15: good coffee yep. And and uh the best coffee actually
Speaker 15: was Rabobank. Oh wow, into a bit of a coffee
Speaker 15: these days a ruber Banks and positioning out the good coffee.
Speaker 15: But I just want quickly about the roundabout performance. Yes,
Speaker 15: it went really well today, no crashes, It didn't need
Speaker 15: any toyemen there where the gloves on drinking. We magnificently
Speaker 15: rounder And.
Speaker 2: This is the one. This is the one on the
Speaker 2: way to Hobbits in that roundabout A That's the one,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, with a big hawk on it. I've found out
Speaker 15: it's a falcon.
Speaker 16: Not a fork.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah. Yeah. The sculpture of that the guy Graham,
Speaker 2: he just died too, so that was good. That got
Speaker 2: up before. Yeah, I was reading about having too.
Speaker 15: So it's like it's like the New Zealand native falcons.
Speaker 15: I'm trying to think of a name for our airbnb
Speaker 15: that I've made out of an old worker's house on
Speaker 15: the farm. I want to do something about the falcon
Speaker 15: and our so the level that an overlooks the falcons,
Speaker 15: I'm thinking of calling it the falcon's nest or the
Speaker 15: falcon's or something.
Speaker 2: Well, let you always go, you always go Falcons Rest.
Speaker 3: Don't you Falcon's Rest?
Speaker 2: Because there was a TV show Whiles, But I like
Speaker 2: everything is called falcons Rest, isn't it? Is that right?
Speaker 2: I think it was a TV show, wasn't it?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How much a night?
Speaker 15: Well, we've had our first We've had Houston Group. So
Speaker 15: I had some surfers from Hawaii and it's pretty it's
Speaker 15: pretty backpackerish, so I put all the kids in there.
Speaker 15: It's pretty rough. So I've been going. You still it
Speaker 15: out around thirty dollars a night. We had ten people say,
Speaker 15: so there was a pretty good, pretty good five days,
Speaker 15: two hundred and nights people.
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, long way from the long way from the
Speaker 2: surf though.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
Speaker 15: They were going to Hobbiton and Road now using it
Speaker 15: as a bit of a face can for wife and
Speaker 15: doing something in Cambridge Shire. But they were like Christian surfers,
Speaker 15: they're on a mission. They're out to people.
Speaker 2: Oh they're still about the Christian surfers. So they don't
Speaker 2: go away anytime soon, do they.
Speaker 15: Wow, Christian surfers are still going in this millennium just
Speaker 15: like Jesus and are still still ticking over.
Speaker 2: Were there are?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, well not nice to hear from you, but it's
Speaker 2: a tremendous report. I enjoyed that much, so thanks very
Speaker 2: much for that. Nine Away from nine Chris, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 2: Hi Chris.
Speaker 12: Oh hi Marcus. Sorry. Yes, I just would love to
Speaker 12: be at field days, but that's not why I rang,
Speaker 12: But I'd love to get you one day. I've just
Speaker 12: watched the new season of the Castera Tiers Life and
Speaker 12: Death around the Globe was Frounces and Payora Tippany. I
Speaker 12: was quite interested to watch it after in the public
Speaker 12: arena with their staff member, which was quite terrible for them,
Speaker 12: and it was a really great program for the series.
Speaker 12: Tonight they were in Tonga and where his ancestors are
Speaker 12: and it was really good. I really enjoyed it and
Speaker 12: thought it was a really good comeback for their series.
Speaker 2: Did they acknowledge what had happened with that prosecution?
Speaker 12: No, Well, I'm actually looking at it. They had their
Speaker 12: baby daughter in the program and left their boys at home,
Speaker 12: and the babies like not that old, less than a
Speaker 12: year old, and I'm wondering if it was before filmed.
Speaker 2: Before the prosecution, you could well have been.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so judging by the age of the baby because
Speaker 12: at the end of the last series, with their particular
Speaker 12: staff member still in it, the baby had just been
Speaker 12: born and a daughter after a whole lot of boys.
Speaker 2: So they are they sort of going on the world,
Speaker 2: looking at around the world, looking at funeral stuff. Is
Speaker 2: that the way the series works?
Speaker 12: Well, it's it's saying life and death around the globes,
Speaker 12: and next week they're going to I think Rarah, Tonga.
Speaker 12: I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 12: I thought it might have been for the Pacific, but
Speaker 12: I don't really know so, but I just thought it
Speaker 12: was quite lovely tonight because that's where his ancestors were
Speaker 12: from and the respect that.
Speaker 2: You know, so he's Tongue and is he.
Speaker 12: He's half Tongu and he has Murray and Tonguan. I
Speaker 12: think his father was Tongan. And he's ever been to Tonga
Speaker 12: though it's only three hours away, he'd never been. So
Speaker 12: he met an ancestor tonight and visited the graves of
Speaker 12: his ancestors like his great great grandfather and so it
Speaker 12: was very and then visited a funeral home and other
Speaker 12: undertank takers. I mean, it sounds a bit morbid, but
Speaker 12: it wasn't really. It was very respectful and very heartfelt,
Speaker 12: I thought to night.
Speaker 2: So, oh, yeah, they seemed to friend with people. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's my jam. I don't like watching about death,
Speaker 2: but people do seem to love it, don't they.
Speaker 12: No, well, I was about to say, you can only
Speaker 12: have so much of it, but I was interested to
Speaker 12: watch the first program of after what had happened to
Speaker 12: see how they redeemed themselves. But they were out of
Speaker 12: New Zealand, so that probably made it.
Speaker 2: I also remember that they went to They went very
Speaker 2: quickly after Queen Elizabeth died to get themselves involved with
Speaker 2: her funeral, which I always thought was a strange thing
Speaker 2: to do, but that seemed to be something they wanted
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 12: Sorry, they worry.
Speaker 2: They went to join the queue for Queen Elizabeth when
Speaker 2: she had died and was laying in state. Remember that.
Speaker 12: I do vaguely remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if that was for the series
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know, but I mean whether I tune
Speaker 12: in every week, but I was quite interested tonight just
Speaker 12: to see how they redeemed themselves for a TV program
Speaker 12: after the very terrible public profile figure of their last series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, look nice to hear from you, Christ and
Speaker 2: thanks for bringing that out. That's a good report. I'm
Speaker 2: going to start this hour with extremely good joke that
Speaker 2: I've been sent in. Marcus. How did the tractor break
Speaker 2: up with the other tractor? She wrote him a John
Speaker 2: Dee letter. That is quality. By the way, falcons Crest,
Speaker 2: not falcon Rest, was a TV program. I'd got it.
Speaker 2: Falcons Crest tempted to come stay myself. Actually, I'm just
Speaker 2: trying to. We're planning a hobbit and holiday fidget spin.
Speaker 2: We could do that September. I mean, I mean the
Speaker 2: kids of zero winterest and Hobiton, but I can get
Speaker 2: them thirsd about that for there we go, Marcus. I
Speaker 2: picked up a pair of mood socks at the field
Speaker 2: days today. They designed to change color to indicate warn
Speaker 2: out of your mood, target market as farmers, to combat depression. Green,
Speaker 2: good to go, orange, stay away, we'd go check into
Speaker 2: a facility. You can never wash them, so they will
Speaker 2: sink to high heaven purposely to keep the wife away.
Speaker 2: I'm back tomorrow, will doubt more trees and report back.
Speaker 2: You want a pair of chake take care Sha, No,
Speaker 2: not for me. I'm happy with the socks I've got Marcus.
Speaker 2: Musketeers are off to Van Noar two next week. It
Speaker 2: was a good show tonight. There we go. Welcome, How
Speaker 2: are you going people? Marcus? We moved from Milton to
Speaker 2: Funkaday to do where I'm now retired, keV Marcus. We
Speaker 2: moved to in Viicago for a job the start of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty from Auckland. Didn't tell me one where I
Speaker 2: was from. They got to know me. Loved it, kids love.
Speaker 2: We had to move back to t Walking a few
Speaker 2: years ago now for working in My heart remained to
Speaker 2: the South. We planned to move back when the kids
Speaker 2: had finished school. So we are talking about migration news,
Speaker 2: seeing people moving from the north end of the South
Speaker 2: and the field Days and the Casketeers and the new
Speaker 2: road from the Mono two to the Tuttaders. The town
Speaker 2: to move to is Denny Vig. Oh yeah, when we'
Speaker 2: we talking about the rich list there would they bless them? Angie,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome Hi Marcus. How are
Speaker 2: you good, Ngie?
Speaker 19: Thank you excellent will. I was wanting to why people
Speaker 19: in New Zealand say if you do a news article
Speaker 19: and then you read down and you say two five
Speaker 19: to six instead of at five to six. Why I
Speaker 19: don't get it. I just realized that I'm not exactly
Speaker 19: sure why that happens.
Speaker 2: Tell me about tell me again so I can listen
Speaker 2: more closely.
Speaker 19: So if I listen to the news or the weather
Speaker 19: forecast on news talks at b so someone might say, oh,
Speaker 19: you know, it's stormy in christ Church whatever two five
Speaker 19: to six instead of saying at six o'clock or at
Speaker 19: the time. You guys use the word too. I've been
Speaker 19: here for eight years. I'm just not quite sure why
Speaker 19: people use the word two instead of act. I know
Speaker 19: this might be really boring, but I honestly, genuinely don't understand.
Speaker 2: Why do you understand what they saying?
Speaker 19: No, I understand what they're saying. I just don't two
Speaker 19: a time instead of at the time.
Speaker 2: Tell me again how it goes.
Speaker 13: So, say I was.
Speaker 19: Saying, oh, it's stormy and christ night two five to six,
Speaker 19: whereas if I was an English presenter, I'd say it's
Speaker 19: stormy in christ night at five to six. Why do
Speaker 19: you say two five to six?
Speaker 2: Have I seen it?
Speaker 19: Not you personally, but everyone on the radio station, on
Speaker 19: this radio station does Why do people say two a time.
Speaker 19: I'm not trying to be boring Marcus Onathy, I'm not.
Speaker 19: I nearly didn't ring in.
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 2: At the out of the outtro of the bulletin.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll say that's using sports.
Speaker 19: To Yes, so they say two five passics instead of
Speaker 19: at five pastics.
Speaker 2: Because the news and sport has taken the slot up
Speaker 2: to five to six. It's the it's the it's the
Speaker 2: six o'clock news, and that's using sport to five past six.
Speaker 19: So is there a reason that British people and New
Speaker 19: Zealanders do it differently? So that was my question. I
Speaker 19: going to be antagonistic.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard British radio what they would say.
Speaker 19: I don't think i've ever heard another country say two
Speaker 19: instead of I was just interesting.
Speaker 2: But it wouldn't make sense world.
Speaker 19: Well, if you normally say, oh, so this is the
Speaker 19: news at six o'clock.
Speaker 2: Yes, they start off at the same in the news,
Speaker 2: this is the news at six, and that the ends
Speaker 2: they say, this is news in sport to five past six.
Speaker 19: I agree with you, But in the on if you've
Speaker 19: traveled and I know that you have done so, yes,
Speaker 19: you say at six o'clock at the start of the
Speaker 19: news article, but at the end of it you don't
Speaker 19: say two ten past six, so.
Speaker 2: You think they should say that's news and sports.
Speaker 19: I'm just that I know, I'm genuinely interested as to
Speaker 19: why it is.
Speaker 5: It's a question.
Speaker 2: So you're saying, to be more grammatical to say that's
Speaker 2: news and sport and the time is now five past six.
Speaker 19: I'm not directing anybody, Marcus. My question is why is
Speaker 19: it different? Because I've not heard it before. So normally
Speaker 19: people say, oh, this is what we reported at this time,
Speaker 19: not to this time. It was just a query. I'm
Speaker 19: sorry for ringing in.
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting.
Speaker 8: I just.
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure what the answer is.
Speaker 19: Lean neither that's records ringing it because.
Speaker 2: What we say is that using sport to five past six.
Speaker 19: Yes, So normally if you were listening to the I'm
Speaker 19: not saying everyone should listen to the BBC, but if
Speaker 19: you were listening to that, they would say that was
Speaker 19: the news and sport at five plast six. They wouldn't
Speaker 19: say two five plastics.
Speaker 15: Wow.
Speaker 19: Okay, I know that's entirely boring. I'm going to continue listening.
Speaker 19: I'm sorry, apologize.
Speaker 2: I felt it interesting. But yeah, look, I don't set
Speaker 2: up the templates for the news and sports to like it.
Speaker 2: It's out, it's out beyond my brief. It doesn't jar
Speaker 2: with me. It makes sense to me. Someone else might
Speaker 2: want to comment about that, or some might want to
Speaker 2: comment on Angie. What they thinking about Energi. Yeah, when
Speaker 2: you spoke to travel to broaden your experience and different
Speaker 2: experiences are you? I don't know? And all the things
Speaker 2: of all the things in the world. Marcus tell her
Speaker 2: it's quarter five to two. What does that mean? Anway
Speaker 2: lines there free if you want to come through. Fourteen
Speaker 2: past nine. People moving from the north out of the
Speaker 2: South Island. They're doing that in droves, the field days,
Speaker 2: the casket tears in the new road. The tunnel law
Speaker 2: is there's something else you want to mention? Tonight be
Speaker 2: my guest quite literally eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: nine to nine two de text. The moon tonight is
Speaker 2: a strawberry moon. A full strawberry moon will be visible tonight.
Speaker 2: The full moon is called the strawberry moon in June
Speaker 2: after the harvest season absorbed observed by Indigenous Americans. Winter
Speaker 2: full moons and you're genermong the brightest and highest of
Speaker 2: the year. You the moon's position as Earth orbits the Sun.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there are big moons in the winter. Becomes
Speaker 2: full precise at eight forty three. Loving that good evening, Tony,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus. Welcome you go, Marcus.
Speaker 17: What that lady was saying about the way you finish
Speaker 17: your news and weather. There's another news program in the
Speaker 17: next hour, so you're up to the five past eight.
Speaker 17: There's going to be another one at five past nine,
Speaker 17: so two five past eight, next one is to follow.
Speaker 17: It's not the end of it. It's not the last news.
Speaker 7: Of the day, is it.
Speaker 2: No, So what does that mean?
Speaker 17: Well, when if you said there's the news at five
Speaker 17: past eight, that kind of completes it. If you say
Speaker 17: that's the news to five past eight, because this morning
Speaker 17: used to come next there there'll be another one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I think all this is probably quite planned.
Speaker 2: I think we don't do things. I don't think we
Speaker 2: do things in an ad hoc or reckless men are
Speaker 2: with our news.
Speaker 17: No, no, I think in the most complete sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it jarred with her. I know she didn't
Speaker 2: want to come across as sounding patronizing, but she was
Speaker 2: a bit defensive, but yeah, look, I don't know what
Speaker 2: that was. Good evening Markets, Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 20: Good evening Marcus. The up under two one country the
Speaker 20: British had knocked in one word of and the kiwis
Speaker 20: is not one word of. So it used to be
Speaker 20: the news and weather up to six o'clock. Now someone
Speaker 20: says news and weather up six o'clock. On News and
Speaker 20: Weather two six o'clock, it's quite simple.
Speaker 2: Really doesn't sound that simple because we're too about that's
Speaker 2: news and sport to five past six.
Speaker 20: Yeah, but you could say up to five past six
Speaker 20: and people have dropped one of the words.
Speaker 2: Why would you say up to five? Why would you
Speaker 2: say up to five past six?
Speaker 20: Because that's all the news and sport that I know
Speaker 20: about up to five past six.
Speaker 2: Basically, I think that sounds I think to me, that
Speaker 2: sounds a bit clunkier.
Speaker 20: Yeah, that's why they've cut them short. That's why they've
Speaker 20: cut words off.
Speaker 2: Okay, who's they as well?
Speaker 20: Anyone who's in the business, I suppose decides which words
Speaker 20: to cut out on the radio or TV programs or whatever,
Speaker 20: just to shorten the abbreviation so then get through more stuff.
Speaker 20: I suppose I don't know or people just get lazy
Speaker 20: and say, oh, let's just say up up six o'clock
Speaker 20: or two six o'clock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not fully in agreement with you, Mart, but
Speaker 2: I appreciate your confidence that you rung out and said
Speaker 2: that with Dale Marcus. Good evening and welcome.
Speaker 18: You get a Marcus.
Speaker 8: Look.
Speaker 18: I've just come up over the New George Road.
Speaker 2: So you've gone it's east west west east, isn't it?
Speaker 16: Is that?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 2: That's the way it goes with a kink.
Speaker 18: Yeah, Well I've traveled. Yeah, I've traveled from the Fielding side,
Speaker 18: coming through to Ashes and up over the Gorge towards
Speaker 18: Woodville and gone over to paid perf for something. And
Speaker 18: I've come on the way back both ways. The fantastic
Speaker 18: views of Parmes the north and Woodville and you know,
Speaker 18: the light scenery is just incredible. But one thing I noticed,
Speaker 18: just as an observation for the first time driving on
Speaker 18: a road, as you're coming back from Woodville down on
Speaker 18: this beautiful motorway, you I didn't notice a sign saying
Speaker 18: major intersection ahead. I may have missed a major roundabout
Speaker 18: because as you come down there's a small sign on
Speaker 18: the side that shows a roundabout. But I guess if
Speaker 18: you weren't observant, you can potentially. I'm not saying it
Speaker 18: would happen, you'd have to be pretty dumb. But as
Speaker 18: you come down, particularly at nighttime, next thing, there's this
Speaker 18: there's this big roundabout, well several loads of it, So
Speaker 18: just wondering again I might have missed it, but I
Speaker 18: wonder if that in the future they probably need to
Speaker 18: have a large sign saying major intersection heads. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe and this is the Essue side or the woods
Speaker 2: Woodville side side. Okay, maybe they've got the signe writing
Speaker 2: just quite Oh you can see that now. I'm just
Speaker 2: looking at Google Maps, but that's kind of the photos
Speaker 2: a bit outdated, so they're not even directed. So that's interesting.
Speaker 2: You've got good views down over Parmeerston North that would
Speaker 2: be quite spectacular.
Speaker 18: Absolutely spectacular. Almost the roads up over the hills here
Speaker 18: are yeah, like the Soil Road or the posts who
Speaker 18: are track. You get incredible views of the whole city
Speaker 18: at night time and in the day. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 18: be interested to hear anyone else's comments that have traveled
Speaker 18: over and if they've kind of come to the same
Speaker 18: conclusion that as you come down towards ashes. There's a
Speaker 18: very small sign on the side showing aroundabout, but I
Speaker 18: would have thought that have a big sign saying major intersection.
Speaker 2: Head you're a bit will they run into snow trouble
Speaker 2: there snow?
Speaker 18: Yeah, we occasionally with occasion you get snow. And the
Speaker 18: monow two probably over the hills a bit further you
Speaker 18: can see snow at the moment. I'm not sure if
Speaker 18: what I've seen snow in the twenty five years i've
Speaker 18: lived over this way over the Sederl Road. But anyway,
Speaker 18: there we go.
Speaker 2: I always remember those bleak conditions when there was that
Speaker 2: nd set playing Crest that was the other side, wasn't
Speaker 2: it the flight seven oh three? Terrible conditions? Weren't you
Speaker 2: remember those fat footage of that play from there?
Speaker 18: You further around towards the up there at the moment,
Speaker 18: if you look not on the where the TV and
Speaker 18: tenor is, but further around, there's tons of snow on
Speaker 18: the hills around all the ranges around there for sure.
Speaker 18: And Livin there's there's there's always snow in the winter.
Speaker 2: Great report, Thanks Dale, hold your horses, Johnny with you soon, Sue,
Speaker 2: It's Marcus. Welcome good evening.
Speaker 6: Oh hello, Marcus.
Speaker 11: Hi.
Speaker 6: I used to be a grammar teacher for the international
Speaker 6: students who came to New Zealand and for the refugees,
Speaker 6: and when you always taught there. But the prepositions in
Speaker 6: on and at and in was for in the morning,
Speaker 6: in the afternoon and in the evening. And on was
Speaker 6: for on Sunday, on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, so
Speaker 6: that was days of the week. And at was always
Speaker 6: for the time, like at four o'clock, at five o'clock,
Speaker 6: at six o'clock, at seven o'clock.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it was always for the time.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think they say this is the news at six
Speaker 2: o'clock and then they say that is the news to
Speaker 2: five past six. It's like the end bracket on the news.
Speaker 12: Oh.
Speaker 7: I say, what's.
Speaker 2: At the other end of it, Johnny, it's Marcus.
Speaker 4: Good evening, Oh, good evening, you st. I was just
Speaker 4: getting on the conversation about people moving down to the
Speaker 4: South Holland and droves. I remember going back to South
Speaker 4: Holland for thro Tom and Tetay them and there were
Speaker 4: still people leaving the bottom of the South Island and drives,
Speaker 4: and there was row after row of houses and Avocago
Speaker 4: that were empty that Lenolds couldn't rent.
Speaker 19: No.
Speaker 4: I remember after the earthquake and chriss each around that
Speaker 4: time that you know, there was a lot of incentive
Speaker 4: for people to move to chross Chuch. But there's this
Speaker 4: old story that there was no way for people to live.
Speaker 4: And I just heard something about it just a few
Speaker 4: days ago that there was there's still not enough places
Speaker 4: for people to live. Who for moving down there.
Speaker 2: It's funny. It's funny because there was that, you know,
Speaker 2: in Vercago had the fastest declining population in the Southern hemisphere.
Speaker 2: There was that, Yeah, And I don't really know what
Speaker 2: turn that round. Probably in all reality was the dairy
Speaker 2: boom and so much dairy support and dairy workers. I
Speaker 2: think there's that, But also to this funny old micro
Speaker 2: migrations too funny enough. After the christ Church quake, I
Speaker 2: noticed a lot of people moved from christ It's two
Speaker 2: in Chicago. There was an influx of people then that
Speaker 2: were looked at, We're finding, Okay, we're out of there.
Speaker 2: We want to go somewhere that's affordable, and we want
Speaker 2: to be south. We want to get out of christ Church.
Speaker 2: A lot of people moved to in Chicago. Then now
Speaker 2: everyone seems to move into Christ Church in Dunedin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is interesting. Yeah, I think it's all that
Speaker 4: seems always interesting. Hey, Marcus, I did want to ask
Speaker 4: for something else. We went over to the Pikatarki broach
Speaker 4: today just before tunny as work, and we drove through
Speaker 4: some floodwaters on on the way towards Pokahena coming from Totonga.
Speaker 4: And that the Pikatarki bridge is over one hundred years
Speaker 4: old and it's going to be replaced. But it's it's
Speaker 4: absolutely terrible. And when you have it's a traffic light bridge,
Speaker 4: one lane and it's one giant pothole. Really, but took
Speaker 4: the truck over the here with the crane it and
Speaker 4: there was a logging truck on the other side shaking
Speaker 4: his head, very angry looking guy because the light had
Speaker 4: changed while I was halfway across.
Speaker 2: It's a single it's a single lane bridge, isn't.
Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, there's traffic light at each end and so
Speaker 4: it runs out like you know that the old pedestrian
Speaker 4: crossing runs out before you get to the other side.
Speaker 4: Tunes read again from green Well this this happened today
Speaker 4: and I thought that's pretty dangerous.
Speaker 2: What we're doing. What we're doing in the crane.
Speaker 4: I've got a truck with a crane. It's just a
Speaker 4: small one and I'm just doing a little bit of
Speaker 4: work on it before I get a tear cel and
Speaker 4: start my own little delivery business of sides eight tons
Speaker 4: and yeah, a nice little crane there.
Speaker 2: So what will you be delivering?
Speaker 4: Oh like railway sleepers when we can get them again,
Speaker 4: and yeah, paving palettes to building sites. But it interesting
Speaker 4: thing on the way down today to one and we
Speaker 4: saw the railway lines and there's a hole of golf
Speaker 4: carts on railway tracks. Now there's a little tour you
Speaker 4: can go on down the just around each comp Yeah
Speaker 4: I hate it. Yes, it's cheer boy.
Speaker 2: Doesn't doesn't. It's just a disgusting that we had a
Speaker 2: great rail in it. We Now we got people on
Speaker 2: golf frolly saying, oh look at this is amazing. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know anyway, what what what? What is interesting? I
Speaker 2: think at tunning our tour and you know about this
Speaker 2: there was a shared road rail bridge. Is that the
Speaker 2: one you're talking about?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: Did that goes as far as twenty A tour where
Speaker 2: was the road rail bridge the shared one?
Speaker 4: Do you remember we a sheared road railroadge for us
Speaker 4: and to with the railway track in the road. No, no,
Speaker 4: my patents.
Speaker 8: From the remember.
Speaker 2: I might have my rise crossed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a whole lot of railway line that's up.
Speaker 4: That'scott farmland on it. So there's the railway's been abandoned.
Speaker 4: There's BlackBerry growing over the top of it near the river. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and so there's railway sleepers. People have come along and
Speaker 4: just checked up the railway lines and punched them all.
Speaker 2: But what's Johnny, what's the sleeper worth?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 4: Retail ninety dollars? Oh yeah, yeah, shocking, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Well try and making one, I suppose. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: they're worth what people will pay for them.
Speaker 4: Well, there used to be reasonably priced to buy, but
Speaker 4: now you know they're run well over one thousand dollars
Speaker 4: for a bund or twenty five. So you're looking at
Speaker 4: transporting those as well, which is about it up to
Speaker 4: twelve hundred kilograms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to run Johnny on news. But look,
Speaker 2: it's nice to talk to you. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Keep your calls coming through and enjoying it greatly. People,
Speaker 2: it'scared to say the time now in case and who's
Speaker 2: going to come down the pipes? What are you saying that,
Speaker 2: Jason Marcus? Welcome Marcus made a right, Yeah, good Jason yourself.
Speaker 21: Hey, he'd pretty good on the headline there. We're just
Speaker 21: talking about facial recognition technology and a bit behind nowadays. Hey,
Speaker 21: I want to swing back to the railways for a second.
Speaker 21: You know, one of the biggest issues is maintaining the
Speaker 21: railways and keeping it eye on the tracks and all
Speaker 21: the people. We need to actually go ahead and actually
Speaker 21: make sure the railway is safe for people to use.
Speaker 21: The same technology that's going to be used for this
Speaker 21: facial recognition stuff can be used to monitor the railway
Speaker 21: systems as the trains move around. It's the same stuff
Speaker 21: that can be used to one of the roads as
Speaker 21: buses and caurier drivers and taxis and things move around
Speaker 21: as well. So watch the space.
Speaker 8: Very exciting.
Speaker 21: Actually, facial recognition technology is being used all around the world.
Speaker 21: Are you excited about it or you're not?
Speaker 2: For you, how is it going to possibly impact your life?
Speaker 21: I think probably removing I think probably removing the sphere
Speaker 21: of whether there are desirable people in places I don't
Speaker 21: want them to be, especially if we know who they are.
Speaker 2: Does it Are you scared? Often? Have people been where
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be or where you are?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 21: No, but I think there is a I think there
Speaker 21: is a more fragile group of people out there. As
Speaker 21: as we engaging population, there's chrime rates starts to sort
Speaker 21: of you know, tear off. We've still got a bit
Speaker 21: of the unknown. Is there somebody in a bar who
Speaker 21: shouldn't be there because they caused the ruckus three weeks ago?
Speaker 21: Is there somebody who was I'm.
Speaker 2: Not necessarily going to cause a ruckus this time? Are
Speaker 2: they if it's a well managed bar. Are that you're
Speaker 2: handing too much faith into the technology?
Speaker 21: Well, we're moving that way, and we're using that airport's
Speaker 21: already all around the world. We're using going to have
Speaker 21: train stations already all around the world. We're using it
Speaker 21: when we go to the airport, when you go on
Speaker 21: your flight, when you arrive in America, when you arrive
Speaker 21: the most sort of you know, airports in the world.
Speaker 21: We'd already using it, would be using it for a
Speaker 21: long time. It's nothing new. What I'd be interested in
Speaker 21: is how far are they going to take it? Where
Speaker 21: else do they want to put it? And who's going
Speaker 21: to look after their data?
Speaker 8: That's probably I think.
Speaker 2: It's concerned God on here, Jason, thanks for that. Twenty
Speaker 2: five to ten, someone said it's another way of saying
Speaker 2: up until is two For a good point, Marcus, are
Speaker 2: the stories online about Bradley Walsh being sacked from the chase?
Speaker 4: True?
Speaker 2: Is at fake news? I click on the stories but
Speaker 2: seems to get redirected other websites. Cheers, curious that will
Speaker 2: be fake news. If Bradley Walsh got the don't come Monday,
Speaker 2: it would be third story up in the bulletin. So yes,
Speaker 2: but thanks for asking. But yes, they go to and
Speaker 2: then they get the hits, the clicks Marcus, it's the
Speaker 2: news up to six, but the upper is usually dropped.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was so boring. My English daddy
Speaker 2: is to say the time was five and twenty past, Kezzy,
Speaker 2: she's been reboring. Who cares how the news is? Time?
Speaker 2: Get over it, lady, Marcus. I was in Zagreb, Croatia,
Speaker 2: a few years back. While talking to a local near
Speaker 2: a football steam. She told me his story where the
Speaker 2: local supporters try to find out who's from their rivals
Speaker 2: in the south of the country. They would ask them
Speaker 2: the time and they would reply, for example, quarter past six,
Speaker 2: whereas the locals would say it's fifteen past. If they
Speaker 2: do find an opposition support, they'll get roughed. Up market's
Speaker 2: the news up until six, but the up until is
Speaker 2: usually dropped. Marcus has the South Island supermarket band pj's
Speaker 2: and onesies or just slip it slippers. Just wondering, Ice
Speaker 2: would say, a lot of the people are in pajamas
Speaker 2: and onesies now in the supermarket. I don't think you
Speaker 2: can enforce address stand at the supermarket. Not sure. Why
Speaker 2: would I find the grammatical chat quite interesting? Maybe I
Speaker 2: am boring, just different ways of saying the same things,
Speaker 2: really and enduring the show and Queen said that che
Speaker 2: has beat Marcus. I think someone's getting confused. Then news
Speaker 2: it to five past six is whenning the time to
Speaker 2: five minutes. She could also replace the two five with
Speaker 2: until five. Yes, road rail bridge between Totecho and Tania
Speaker 2: Tour was no longer. Yes, Marcus Picata Bridge did share
Speaker 2: the rail with right where were kids olive at Awakiri?
Speaker 2: We had to give way to the train is it
Speaker 2: does need replacing. Good Evening has It's Marcus, welcome, good.
Speaker 8: Evening, Marcus. How are you this fine evening?
Speaker 2: Good things has excellent?
Speaker 9: Hey, thought I just took my take on a field
Speaker 9: days today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 9: I thought it was really busy. I've been to a
Speaker 9: few of that events over the years. Looks like it
Speaker 9: was the best kind of best weather window was today.
Speaker 9: I'll head back there tomorrow and finish off my circuit.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I thought it was a really positive, h
Speaker 9: positive vibe out there. A lot of farmers, a lot
Speaker 9: of people looking at big machines, and I dare say,
Speaker 9: you know, some text breaks are going to be very welcome.
Speaker 2: Are you in the market for something now?
Speaker 9: Not really, I'm I'm in the building trade myself, and
Speaker 9: I had a look around. I mean, the building world
Speaker 9: has been pretty.
Speaker 8: Challenging the last few years. No secret there.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I thought it was a lot more positive
Speaker 9: conversations I had with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a builder, why were you there?
Speaker 8: We were exhibiting? Yeah, we were there.
Speaker 9: And I'm going to be on the stand tomorrow, so
Speaker 9: z'd be listeners more than welcome to stop by Lendmark.
Speaker 10: And it's worth your while.
Speaker 2: You sign up homes and stuff with people there.
Speaker 9: Look really field Days as a chance for us to
Speaker 9: connect with people and kind of understand what the what
Speaker 9: their aspirations are and that kind of thing. And you
Speaker 9: know it's I mean, you're not going to sell a
Speaker 9: house at field Days, but you certainly might meet someone
Speaker 9: who you do build a house with. And I think,
Speaker 9: you know, it's a great chance to connect with people
Speaker 9: and really.
Speaker 8: Relaxed.
Speaker 9: Plenty of good food and good drinks and that kind
Speaker 9: of thing around. Plenty of cool new toys to look
Speaker 9: at field Days.
Speaker 8: So I think it's a really cool atmosphere.
Speaker 2: And you know, what's what's your what's your thing to
Speaker 2: get people into yours, into your stall.
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, it's really that that kind of quality that
Speaker 9: we shoot for at Lamarck Holmes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're giving free free coffee or anything like that,
Speaker 2: what I mean, You've got to you got to You've
Speaker 2: got to get people in there, don't you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, we've got a we've got a helicopter. Funnily enough,
Speaker 9: we've got this place out and Takofi and Hamilton that's
Speaker 9: at air Park.
Speaker 8: We've got a few sections.
Speaker 9: And they've got a promo helicopter, so they we've blasted
Speaker 9: Landmark all over it, so people going, we'll see that there.
Speaker 9: It's usually got taps for beer. But I was disappointed
Speaker 9: to hear that they are not live with. Hey, maybe
Speaker 9: something to shoot morning time.
Speaker 2: Always next time. Heys, thanks so much that nine from
Speaker 2: ten angel Ats Marcus, good evening.
Speaker 22: Hello, I'm ringing from Northland.
Speaker 19: Fra.
Speaker 7: Yes, I the awkward thing I.
Speaker 22: Lived with for a long time. Bought my first house
Speaker 22: in my twenties and in Terrace, and then from my
Speaker 22: late twenties had you know the word out cash up
Speaker 22: now sar your house moved down to christ Church and
Speaker 22: I did that and looked around for a bit because
Speaker 22: for me coming from Auckland, the city was coming back
Speaker 22: to front so where the eastern suburbs was pretty much
Speaker 22: like well, not our eastern suburbs in Auckland, but I
Speaker 22: found that the closer got to.
Speaker 7: The airport, the railway lines and the.
Speaker 22: Your big pole lines, and that that was the richest suburbs.
Speaker 22: So normally in Auckland you go to Manory and that's
Speaker 22: your poorer.
Speaker 7: Suburbs and so forth.
Speaker 22: But in christ Church that was where the western suburbs
Speaker 22: are wealthier, so that took me a while to get
Speaker 22: the head round. But aside from that, got there settlement
Speaker 22: and took me about three years and ended up buying
Speaker 22: a place over in Littleton. Loved it, loved the community.
Speaker 22: Had an earthquake, the dad rocks out of nowhere and
Speaker 22: I'm thirty eight and there's a lot you're coming home,
Speaker 22: which is back up to North Island. What I left, unfortunately,
Speaker 22: was that I bought the place down there at market
Speaker 22: and with the earth coake they would only basically pay
Speaker 22: you back the rate of all value, so you'd lost
Speaker 22: and you'd lost. And in staying that, I'll come make
Speaker 22: up to from Ray just to actually get my foot
Speaker 22: back in the market. Like I knew, I couldn't afford Auckland.
Speaker 22: And I still have days where I think, yeah, I
Speaker 22: go down about twice a year and I love the place.
Speaker 22: It's some of that, but again it's the concern of like, oh,
Speaker 22: worry that. Okay, jump back into where am I going
Speaker 22: to be?
Speaker 2: So you've moved around a lot plan Sorry, you've moved
Speaker 2: around a lot.
Speaker 22: Not really, because I've just been Auckland, christ Church back up.
Speaker 2: To from Ra so not really, it just sounds like
Speaker 2: it was a very busy itinery would you be worried
Speaker 2: about would you be worried about would you be worried
Speaker 2: about another quake in christ Church?
Speaker 22: No, I'm probably worried the fact that I'm not thirty
Speaker 22: two anymore and fifty one just bought a place and
Speaker 22: for me to sell up and go back down. I'm
Speaker 22: not fearful of another quake because that could be anywhere.
Speaker 2: What seems to be people from Auckland moving up There
Speaker 2: are people from there moving elsewhere.
Speaker 22: People from Auckland will been moving up here.
Speaker 19: I know that.
Speaker 22: I suppose reason being is that you can get into
Speaker 22: the proper market and be close to the water, you know,
Speaker 22: like to the carco or a carcraon all around that area.
Speaker 22: You got Wypoo and so forth, And it's quick to
Speaker 22: get back down to Auckland if you wish you away
Speaker 22: or want to go down to town or so forth.
Speaker 22: And you do have the airport, Like when I go
Speaker 22: down to christ Church, I go to the Sommery Airport
Speaker 22: straight to Auckland then onto christ Church and I get
Speaker 22: really good flights if I book a head But I
Speaker 22: actually like this time of the night I will go
Speaker 22: and trade me and I start looking like random, like
Speaker 22: what can I afford for where I live?
Speaker 7: Like what I've got?
Speaker 22: And I'm actually in the up around Omoru tomorrow and
Speaker 22: destinations which I haven't actually looked at. But when you
Speaker 22: look at it, I can actually see where people you know,
Speaker 22: where you can spread yourself out to think, well, I'm
Speaker 22: going to have a lifestyle and in a good solid base.
Speaker 23: So tomorrow.
Speaker 2: It's the funny sort of towns. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I I guess it depends on the days you're there. Actually,
Speaker 2: doesn't it.
Speaker 22: Well, if Omor is always good because you've got steampunk,
Speaker 22: and if you're into steampunk, into the Victorian thing, it
Speaker 22: doesn't matter what.
Speaker 2: I find that a big negative for the town. I
Speaker 2: thin I'm having people with top hats and goals. They
Speaker 2: freak me out. Honestly, I think it's got to be
Speaker 2: one of the most banal things I've ever said. It
Speaker 2: just is a massive negative for me.
Speaker 22: So where are you based again?
Speaker 2: Oh? Everywhere? And I'd like to go into it too
Speaker 2: much Angeler, but I'm stay not a steampunk that's I'd
Speaker 2: like to say. I'm down on bluff, but nice to
Speaker 2: hear from me engine. We're just ambling towards the news.
Speaker 2: People who want to talk after eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: ten eighty and nine two nine two to text if
Speaker 2: you want to come through. Oh, I see there's a
Speaker 2: TikTok video that's shocking people with an update on the
Speaker 2: real rules on how to play Monopoly, which means if
Speaker 2: you land on a property and don't buy it, then
Speaker 2: it goes to auction. Probably it's a rule, but all
Speaker 2: I can tell you there's some brilliant board games out there.
Speaker 2: Out of all the board games in the world, Monopoly
Speaker 2: would have to be the worst. There is no joy
Speaker 2: Monopoly whatsoever. You just roll your dice going from terror
Speaker 2: to terror. Kids enjoy it, adults hate it. It is
Speaker 2: the worst of the board games, Marcus. The most prime
Speaker 2: wasted space anywhere and ever across the country has to
Speaker 2: be the middle of every roundabout. What would you like
Speaker 2: to see on big roundabouts. We couldn't open a bar
Speaker 2: because it's hard to get to. Trees are pretty good,
Speaker 2: aren't they? Tussocks? I think that works, doesn't it, Marcus?
Speaker 2: In the middle of roundabouts. I'd like to see street
Speaker 2: signs with arrows and towns or suburbs, all in plain
Speaker 2: consistent texts and a sculpture, a piece of art significant
Speaker 2: to the area. Really, I've never really worried about what's
Speaker 2: in roundabouts. But you want to talk on any hours
Speaker 2: of time to come through people cracking to an eight
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine two to text.
Speaker 2: If there's something different you want to mention, feel free.
Speaker 2: There is a full moon also, which is exciting edge
Speaker 2: a certain edge to the conversation which I quite like.
Speaker 2: And also a discussion about well, I don't know what
Speaker 2: that discussion was about, about what happens at the end
Speaker 2: of the news. News in Sport two five past eight
Speaker 2: apparably the only place in the world that does that.
Speaker 2: So yep, listen and learn people. My name is Marcus Good.
Speaker 2: Even together it's something different you want to talk about.
Speaker 2: There was a back topic on Monopoly, terrible board game anyway,
Speaker 2: but do get in touch is I say eight hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
Speaker 2: By the way, they're calling the Irwins Australians Cadeshians. I
Speaker 2: thought that was quite good, all stage managed. Everyone's obsessed
Speaker 2: with them. There we go he hadn't heard that before.
Speaker 2: But get in touch people if you don't talk. My
Speaker 2: name is Marcus. Welcome. So when I start the whole
Speaker 2: ball rolling for this hour some of the other stuff,
Speaker 2: I can tell your time and dates and what why
Speaker 2: today is special. There was a road snowfall warning for
Speaker 2: porters Parceland and passing the Crown Range. Love the Crown Range.
Speaker 2: It is International Links Day. I never know what that is.
Speaker 2: Wild Cats where do they live? Where's Lynx live? But
Speaker 2: would would it be South America? Don't know, don't know
Speaker 2: much about links. That's probably why I need to study
Speaker 2: it for today. It is Caught on the Cobb Day
Speaker 2: and German Chocolate Cake Day two thousand and two TV
Speaker 2: series American Idle Day Bud. I don't know who the
Speaker 2: winner was. Was it Reuben Stobart? Or was at Kirie
Speaker 2: Clark's And you might know the answer to that should
Speaker 2: it come up on quizzes this day? And nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: two E t The extraterrestri of Lester in theaters. That
Speaker 2: is a movie I've never seen and I have zero
Speaker 2: interest in seeing it. I've seen stupid pictures of the
Speaker 2: creature in the bike basket, never liked any of it,
Speaker 2: But there we go was today in nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 2: forty one years ago. Do they ever do a remake?
Speaker 2: I don't know. So that's what's happening people. My name
Speaker 2: is Marcus Headled twelve, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: and nine nine two. By the way, Smith and Coey's
Speaker 2: will be closing now on June fifteen, that Sunday. He've's
Speaker 2: got four more days to go. It was supposed to
Speaker 2: go intill July thirty one, but most of the remaining
Speaker 2: stock has been sold and it's now full of empty shelves.
Speaker 2: So it seems as though the end of year sale
Speaker 2: went much better than they thought. Must have reduced the
Speaker 2: prices too much. Good selection of beauty, lingerie and shoes left,
Speaker 2: and a good range of men's were in store. Nice building.
Speaker 2: Don't know what's going to happen to it. That's Smith
Speaker 2: and Kay. That's your last chance. I ever wander around there.
Speaker 2: Although it looks pretty depressing. I thank the information about
Speaker 2: the train, Marcus. We can use wood and christ Church
Speaker 2: as long as it's burned in an approved log burner.
Speaker 2: Marc's a little bit of users. Shunt trainers hit a
Speaker 2: truck in Auckland. Thanks for that. Originally from Auckland, left
Speaker 2: having lived in two other cities in the North Island
Speaker 2: through my career. On returning from a three years overseas assignment,
Speaker 2: I settled into Needed eight years back. Best decision I
Speaker 2: ever made. It's big enough to have essential service, got
Speaker 2: a real vibrant seat and close enough to enjoy all
Speaker 2: that scent Tiger offers. Marcus good evening, Marcus and Daniel
Speaker 2: will change your mind when you see ET. I think
Speaker 2: you may love it. It's truty, magical. Well, if ET
Speaker 2: is so good, how come they've ever made a musical
Speaker 2: of it? I remember exactly where I was. I watched
Speaker 2: it was eleven years ago and it was shown on
Speaker 2: the Warnaka Town Hall, which was on the main street
Speaker 2: as you drove down the hill into town. We all
Speaker 2: sat on long wooden hall chairs. The train just went
Speaker 2: past here and in Vcargo. I love it and wish
Speaker 2: they would bring the Southerner back. Love your show, Melissa.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you, Melissa, I said. There was
Speaker 2: some more talk today about some mirror candidate wanting to
Speaker 2: bring the Southern the back. Yeah, well that's not going
Speaker 2: to happen. I can tell you that now clearly only
Speaker 2: because no one would catch it and a Costa King's
Speaker 2: Ransom was changing platforms and the likes. But anyway, Marcus,
Speaker 2: we're currently living in the Bay of Plenty, but are
Speaker 2: planning to move to Opha. Wow. Fantastic wee town with
Speaker 2: a strong community. Can't wait to move and leave the
Speaker 2: traffic and Todonger. It always seems to be the theme.
Speaker 2: Beautiful bridge, nice town, Opha. Wow. Great. Just get rid
Speaker 2: of the dairy cows in the Mahona here and then
Speaker 2: you might be into a big thing. But anyway, Yeah, Wayne, Marcus, welcome,
Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Good evening.
Speaker 24: Yeah great, that's great.
Speaker 2: Good Wayne. How are you going all right?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Good good.
Speaker 24: I just called you mentioned people moving from the north
Speaker 24: folt itself on them. We moved from Tarranger to cross
Speaker 24: Reach at the start of this year, just for something different. Really,
Speaker 24: our kids are down here at the cross at Kenebary Uni,
Speaker 24: so we just moved down to be closer and support.
Speaker 4: Then really gone.
Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, my wife's a teacher, so she's just leaving
Speaker 24: here and there and I reckon oz and in mine,
Speaker 24: so yeah, I just come home for two weeks and
Speaker 24: then fire doors for two weeks.
Speaker 2: And so you're so your employers don't care where your
Speaker 2: bosses don't care where you are for five four doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: right Nah?
Speaker 24: So yeah, it didn't matter for me for jobs. I
Speaker 24: don't have to try and get another job down here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and the and the and they'll fly you
Speaker 2: from anywhere in New Zealand, will they?
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was just going to get myself to Brisbane, Okay,
Speaker 2: I understand.
Speaker 24: Yes, that's quite convenient because I can get direct flights
Speaker 24: from Brisbane to cross Chach. We're in Tarang. I got
Speaker 24: to go in Auckland and then spend the night in
Speaker 24: Ookland Import and then Trager in the morning.
Speaker 2: And did you have a house there? Did you sell
Speaker 2: a house and buy one in christ Church?
Speaker 3: Nah?
Speaker 24: We've still got a house in Tarango, Yeah, and pet
Speaker 24: Mara were and we're just renting it out for a year,
Speaker 24: that's the plan, just to see what happens. We don't know.
Speaker 24: We're just renting the house just north of Crossis and
Speaker 24: Cliply and yeah and joining it down here.
Speaker 2: Do you think you've made a decision yet to stay?
Speaker 24: No, not one hundred like it down here there are
Speaker 24: some advantages like more flights, uh, you know, good, closer
Speaker 24: to the kids. Another reason, Yeah, yeah, well far Les
Speaker 24: traffic a bit. Yeah, I used to hate the traffic
Speaker 24: and tearing that so well.
Speaker 2: You got that, you got the I mean there itself
Speaker 2: would seem a good reason to move to me.
Speaker 24: Yeah, but I don't have to put up with it now,
Speaker 24: with my roster and stuff, I can please myself.
Speaker 2: So are you kind of open to moving permanently?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 2: Or we'll just wait and see.
Speaker 24: It's just yeah, wait and see. Really yeah, we're just
Speaker 24: given ourselves a year see if we like it. It's
Speaker 24: it's definitely a lot colder. And I would have brought
Speaker 24: firewood tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that time, isn't it. How much how much
Speaker 2: you pay per meter?
Speaker 24: I just got two thirds, so I've got a third
Speaker 24: of Pine and as sead of Oregon and those one
Speaker 24: hundred and twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, be cheaper than that in South. It'll be much
Speaker 2: cheaper in South. And way nice to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Marcus. I've heard through Key. We
Speaker 2: were there doing a case study doing a train to Helensville.
Speaker 2: It'll be run by the Glenbrook Vintage Railway. I see
Speaker 2: there there is some sort of a advocacy to bring
Speaker 2: the train out. As far as who were Pie, I think,
Speaker 2: or coome you and who are Pie? They're almost the same.
Speaker 2: But I mean it works. It works if there's congestion.
Speaker 2: If there's congestion, a train works because it will beat
Speaker 2: the traffic. But there's no congestion between in v Cargo
Speaker 2: and Christian And the reality is when fablies go from
Speaker 2: Invacabo to christ Church, they want to have their car
Speaker 2: when they get there because they want to go into
Speaker 2: town and the train finishes way out in the WAPs.
Speaker 2: They want to go up to Hamner. They want to
Speaker 2: do all sorts of things. People don't want to travel
Speaker 2: without cars. And for those that do want to travel
Speaker 2: without cars, the backpackers or the elderly or kids, there's
Speaker 2: the bus there for them. Until the bus is jam packed.
Speaker 2: There's no point with the train. People don't get it.
Speaker 2: They've got a they've got they've got a strange romantic
Speaker 2: view of the railway. I love the railways, but a pragmatist,
Speaker 2: the one they want to concentrate on the moment is
Speaker 2: the one between Hamilton Auckland. That's going well. It's continuing
Speaker 2: to build and get more pesters in. They want the
Speaker 2: one from Todonger. They're the ones you want to focus on.
Speaker 2: Where there's areas of huge population and a huge amount
Speaker 2: of congestion on the roads. That's where you're training to
Speaker 2: going to work markets. Marcus, welcome, good evening.
Speaker 5: Hi there road rail bridges, Eh, yeah, I've I encountered
Speaker 5: one the many years back on a brass monkey motorcycle
Speaker 5: really to the South Island. I don't know if you've heard.
Speaker 8: Of such a thing.
Speaker 2: Yes I have.
Speaker 5: So we traveled from you know way wherever we were
Speaker 5: to the Iderburn Dam and oh, yep, that's the one.
Speaker 5: Coming in. We zig zagged but went over the Lewis
Speaker 5: up through McKenzie Country. I think coming into Hoka ticker
Speaker 5: was a bridge that had a.
Speaker 2: Train trace and that's now gone. That's how separated. Yep,
Speaker 2: that one's gone.
Speaker 5: Yes, well I I crashed on that due to the
Speaker 5: railway on my motorcycle.
Speaker 2: Dangerous, a terrible things.
Speaker 5: Oh it was like it was my poles, you know,
Speaker 5: I just did n counted such a thing. I thought,
Speaker 5: oh they're all you know, some of us and we
Speaker 5: zoom zooms are coming in and I said, ah, railway
Speaker 5: tracks from the middle.
Speaker 9: Of the bridge.
Speaker 5: There was a funky bridge too, with the you know,
Speaker 5: sort of the sides to it that looked a bit
Speaker 5: gothic and I've just had it wrong. My wheels dug
Speaker 5: into this thing. This is a good yarn actually, and
Speaker 5: my bike stabbed banging against the side of this when
Speaker 5: I had a tank bag on the motorcycle that jumped off,
Speaker 5: went down to this river below, floating off. I was
Speaker 5: bettered when my colleague stopped run down tried to retrieve
Speaker 5: my stuff. They had my fairy tickets, my wallet, everything,
Speaker 5: you know. Grass monkey entry still with me.
Speaker 9: Yep, it's good.
Speaker 5: Get down there. And there was a couple of dudes
Speaker 5: under the bridge there. There was an older guy and
Speaker 5: a young bloke almost web footed, and he said, ah whatever,
Speaker 5: and we're running after the thing. And he swung me
Speaker 5: up and got my bag back. God bless him come
Speaker 5: back and and he said what are you reackoning about?
Speaker 5: That's uncle Frank to the other guy and he said,
Speaker 5: where you got shrom? So you know, well we've come
Speaker 5: from Wellington, but you know I'm from Orphans and the
Speaker 5: wound and have ever been Uncle Wound and Uncle Frank
Speaker 5: his uncle nsaid are they they hung out there? They
Speaker 5: saved saved the day for me. They got I was
Speaker 5: a bit better than Bruce. My bike carried on.
Speaker 2: Of course the bike wasn't there make.
Speaker 5: That bike was a one hundred GB five hundred Ye?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: Did you get? He scrambled these days?
Speaker 5: But it's luckily I haven't smashed it into any break.
Speaker 2: There is another road. There's one on the there's a
Speaker 2: road rail bridge and Hindon and the on the Tirie
Speaker 2: Gorge railway. That's the other one that you might have
Speaker 2: come across on your way to Tura. Who did you
Speaker 2: come across that one?
Speaker 5: And remember I think I might have Actually we did
Speaker 5: bit Yeah, so where.
Speaker 2: I could hear crickets in the background.
Speaker 5: Where are you Auckland? Auckland said, he mean this crickets
Speaker 5: and they've come under the hares.
Speaker 2: The buggers buggers. Evening, Richard, it's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 25: Yeah, hi, Marcus. You mentioned the new road that had
Speaker 25: opened today or yesterday. Why hasn't he got a toll moment?
Speaker 2: Because I think they kicked up Bobbsey dying den the
Speaker 2: verk and they had meetings in their campaigned to the
Speaker 2: government and they didn't have the guts to do it.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 25: But you see, Torona has two toll roads. Hamilton has
Speaker 25: the expressway and there's no toll on that. Auckland has
Speaker 25: one in the north. I think there's a toll on that.
Speaker 25: But down here in toront we are two.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you asked me why, and I told you
Speaker 2: they might best understand that's why they kicked up and
Speaker 2: might be a bad I think there's four toll roads
Speaker 2: in the country.
Speaker 25: Three one, two, three, I think, and we're going to
Speaker 25: get the fourth one with the toe Roung Northern Link.
Speaker 25: It just seems very very unfair that we're going to
Speaker 25: end up with three, Auckland one and nowhere else.
Speaker 5: Has a toll road.
Speaker 2: You could move to denner Vig.
Speaker 25: I have thought about moving, certainly have my boy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 25: it's a possibility. Yeah, but just just interested in my Okay.
Speaker 25: They kicked up the sync.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, that's why, and that's my saying. They kicked
Speaker 2: up a real stink. It was quite big on talkback
Speaker 2: as well. Owen good evening, Oh goody, hi, hi, Owen.
Speaker 13: I was talking about the rail is the subject is rail.
Speaker 2: Oh, the subject is all over the show tonight. But
Speaker 2: there was some discussion about rail and I see the
Speaker 2: Southerner will ever come back because there's no point to.
Speaker 11: It all right.
Speaker 13: Well E Cam was looking at a possible commuter system
Speaker 13: between Rangiora and Rollinster. Needs interesting track and they want
Speaker 13: to get it done within the next couple of years.
Speaker 13: The problem with that is a lot of the track
Speaker 13: is single and on the northern line, going through some
Speaker 13: of the richest suburbs Spendleton, you've only got a single
Speaker 13: track next to a bike path and they were talking
Speaker 13: at possibly wanting to double tracking. The other problem is
Speaker 13: that all the signaling has done from Wellington and they
Speaker 13: need to relocate it back to christ Church like they
Speaker 13: used to forty fifty years ago. One of the signaling
Speaker 13: was done at the old christ Church.
Speaker 2: Railway had still it with remote signaling, couldn't you. I
Speaker 2: don't know, okay.
Speaker 13: I was looking reading up the history of railways in
Speaker 13: christ Church and it was quite a system of track.
Speaker 13: They went to a little river, they went to Leaston, Southbridge,
Speaker 13: they went to Oxford, they went everywhere and they just
Speaker 13: ripped them up and I just thought, well, why in
Speaker 13: the resource that would have been.
Speaker 2: And not only did they rip them up on that,
Speaker 2: when the quake happened in christ Church, which was a
Speaker 2: great chance to rebuild, and they completely blew it. I
Speaker 2: remember speaking to the guy interviewing them who was behind
Speaker 2: the whole rebuilding of the NBC of christ Church, And
Speaker 2: the problem was, I don't think they had any idea
Speaker 2: or any faith in what they were doing. I don't
Speaker 2: think they realized how big christ Church was going to become.
Speaker 2: But they could have built a rapid rail system. They
Speaker 2: could have built a center based and it could have
Speaker 2: made I mean, Christchurch is a great place, don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, but they blew it when it came to rail.
Speaker 2: I mean they had to rebuild the town anyway, why
Speaker 2: wouldn't you build an underground or a fast system. It
Speaker 2: was it was a complete dereliction.
Speaker 13: Well, the biggest mistake they made was moving the rail station.
Speaker 13: It was then moving the Northern line onto the main
Speaker 13: South when it used to connect to the Middleton line. Yeah,
Speaker 13: the stakes have been made and that's because of previous
Speaker 13: national governments doing this.
Speaker 2: Or because we know in the national governments are always
Speaker 2: very much supported by the road Transport Lobby.
Speaker 13: Yes, definitely, there's so many trucks on the road, especially
Speaker 13: when you're going to say, through Kaikoura, through what's the
Speaker 13: path that goes past hand the springs. Yes, trucks. Virtually
Speaker 13: a convoy of trucks. Billions of dollars spent on the
Speaker 13: city rail loop in Auckland. Well that could have been spent.
Speaker 2: Oh, don't get me wrong now, and that's a worthwhile thing.
Speaker 2: That's a great thing that's going to revolutionize Auckland. The
Speaker 2: thing is you can do both, Marcus, are we tippit?
Speaker 2: During the construction of the Tiahu Turanga the MNUA two
Speaker 2: Tallada Highway, workers on earthed moa bones. The discovery was
Speaker 2: made in twenty twenty one during excavation work. The bones,
Speaker 2: belonging to at least two smaller mora are found, along
Speaker 2: with other bird bones. The discovery significant because moa bones
Speaker 2: are rare fines and the site where they were found
Speaker 2: as expected to be of great significance for the region.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that. Maybe it's Marcus welcome, good evening.
Speaker 11: Yeah, good, Marcus has tiva the West coast here. Listen,
Speaker 11: I live in christ Church. But you know when they
Speaker 11: run the Coast to Coast. It goes to Graymouth and
Speaker 11: it stops at Graymouth for three hours or four hours,
Speaker 11: and then they get on the train again. And then
Speaker 11: they go through Mowana and you know Lake Brunner.
Speaker 3: Through Tira.
Speaker 11: There's there's a railway line from Graymouth to Hoker Ticker
Speaker 11: and it goes over the Tira Macair which is another bridge.
Speaker 11: It's got a railway line in it. And then they
Speaker 11: go down to Errahua, you know, getting towards Hoker Ticker
Speaker 11: and there's another one there. But I don't know why
Speaker 11: the railways don't run the Coast to Coast to Hoka Ticker.
Speaker 11: You know, Hoka Ticket is a more lovely place than
Speaker 11: Graymouth for tourists because you can go and do a
Speaker 11: lot down the Hope to Taggy like. You've got the
Speaker 11: Jade fat Tree, the Greenstone fat Tree, you got souvenir shops,
Speaker 11: you've got lovely restaurants. And I come from Graymouth. I
Speaker 11: was born and bred in Graymouth, and I just don't
Speaker 11: don't know why they don't use that line because it's
Speaker 11: only they only use it. The railways only use it
Speaker 11: for Fhill two south like to Hope Beca. You know,
Speaker 11: they have their tankers on a on a rail on
Speaker 11: the rail line, you know, and that's all it's used for.
Speaker 11: And you know, there's a lot more to the West
Speaker 11: Coast than just going to Graymouth. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think, I think, I think the problem with the Transalpine,
Speaker 2: right is those people go from christ Church to Greymouth
Speaker 2: and Beck in the day. It's a really long day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, but that's the trouble with it. And by
Speaker 2: the way, with those bridges you mentioned, right, yeah, they
Speaker 2: are now separate. They're not road rail bridges anymore.
Speaker 11: Aren't they.
Speaker 2: No, I thought that, Tira mckel No, No, it's all
Speaker 2: they're all separate now.
Speaker 11: Oh well, that's better because I.
Speaker 2: Remember it used to be on that movie Goodbye pork Pie.
Speaker 2: I think it was on that and the train came
Speaker 2: down there on that. Yeah, and that was a legendary
Speaker 2: kind of scene. Harry Harry, Yeah, great movie. Ye, that's
Speaker 2: that you're.
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, I'm on board and bred West Coaster.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like it sounds like you should get
Speaker 2: back there.
Speaker 11: I am. I'm going back. I'm going to go bush
Speaker 11: them and build a log cabin in the bush and
Speaker 11: a lifestyle.
Speaker 2: When are you going to do it?
Speaker 8: TV?
Speaker 11: Oh, well, there's not many years left in me now.
Speaker 11: But I used to work for the Dominion Brewers and
Speaker 11: gray Mouth, Yeah, and I used to go. I do
Speaker 11: the pubs from Kramere to hast Wow, and it was
Speaker 11: them and good because.
Speaker 2: You paint all you paint all the pubs.
Speaker 11: Yeah. I do the maintenance on the pubs. Yep.
Speaker 2: How many would they be between hast Well? They all
Speaker 2: dB pubs or their Lion pubs as well.
Speaker 11: Well, there was TB hast Hotel and I did thirty
Speaker 11: five motel units, plus the managers, plus the main bar.
Speaker 11: And I used to go down with the tanker driver,
Speaker 11: you know, so we'd I'll leave about five o'clock in
Speaker 11: the morning from Graymouth and go south and he'd he'd
Speaker 11: have a tanker and he'd have keys, and he'd also
Speaker 11: have a trailer of created beer and we'd stop him.
Speaker 11: I'll give him a hand and it used to be
Speaker 11: a good little trip and we'd see all the publicans.
Speaker 2: You know. How many pubs would you be looking for?
Speaker 2: How many pubs would you be looking after Caramere and Hearst.
Speaker 11: Oh, you'd be looking at hope to take a the
Speaker 11: Greyhound there are tearing a care it would be probably
Speaker 11: fifteen pubs.
Speaker 2: What a great job.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I loved it. I loved it. I meet
Speaker 11: all the Republicans, and you know, it was that sort
Speaker 11: of atmosphere with the people, at least the d V
Speaker 11: hotels that you know, you've got a real friendship with them.
Speaker 2: Hey, t Bow and you might find this, you might
Speaker 2: find this interesting. Someone's just texted me. Apparently the Graymouth
Speaker 2: Hoker tick A Branch railway line is not passenger certified,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 11: I always thought that because they always yes to have
Speaker 11: petrol tankers and timber on it on you know.
Speaker 2: I think I think mainly now it's butter at stuff
Speaker 2: coming from the West West Country deer. That's money. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's you're.
Speaker 11: Onto it, and that that that does praises the West
Speaker 11: Coast and their dairy products.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, good on your TVO. Nice to hear from you,
Speaker 2: Thanks very much. About thirteen past eleven. There we go.
Speaker 2: That's how it's done. Let's be hearing from you if
Speaker 2: you want to be a part of the show. Here
Speaker 2: till midnight tonight, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: and nine to nine text if you want to come
Speaker 2: through and yeah, once again, the Southerner railway is on
Speaker 2: the news because someone's promoting to bring that back. As
Speaker 2: I said, it will never happen, Marcus. The rail tank's
Speaker 2: going to Hooker tick are not fuel but raw milk
Speaker 2: for the dairy company. Yes, I think we established that,
Speaker 2: Thank you. They're taking warm milt from the east coast
Speaker 2: to the west. Now are they to make butter? Never
Speaker 2: mind the butter? How are coffee drinkers handling? How are
Speaker 2: coffee drinkers handling the price hikes? Probably the same as
Speaker 2: chocolate lovers who can't afford a decent sugar fix the situation.
Speaker 2: I tell you what's up in price, butter, coffee, chocolate,
Speaker 2: olive oil, all because of the extreme climate. Yep, it's
Speaker 2: not the way you thought it was gonna go.
Speaker 18: Is it?
Speaker 2: Coffee, butter, chocolate, olive oil? Marcus. I'll be on the
Speaker 2: road tomorrow. I'm trying to mar here. I'll try and
Speaker 2: tune in Sarah. Thank you, Sarah. If you want to
Speaker 2: talk on hear Marcus till midnight tonight. How's it all going?
Speaker 2: I really thought t Bone was going to name every
Speaker 2: pub between Carameir and Hearst. Thought I could have done
Speaker 2: better than them. He didn't get fat Toty. Seemed like
Speaker 2: it'd be quite a good job for t Bone doing
Speaker 2: up pubs. Brilliant. Apparently someone taxi is a paper hanger
Speaker 2: as well, So the why isn't it? Oh wait one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty nine nine to detect monument. Someone talked
Speaker 2: earlier on about the Casker Tears new series of that.
Speaker 2: Good on them for keeping going to tell you what
Speaker 2: must be a tough year for them, the courts and
Speaker 2: all that when it's your business. So The Field Days
Speaker 2: is on from today until the fourteenth. A Mystery Creek
Speaker 2: for those who don't know. Mystery Creek used to be
Speaker 2: history Mystery Creek quite interesting. It used to be a
Speaker 2: dumping ground for old World War two aeroplanes. Yep, that's right,
Speaker 2: I've learned that from this show. Now there is rainfall
Speaker 2: snowfall warnings for Porters Pass and Linda's Pass and the
Speaker 2: Crown Range overnight from tonight this day. In two thousand
Speaker 2: and two, American idol dabude and this year in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty two, et was released in the one of those
Speaker 2: movies I've never seen. By the way, too, Smith and
Speaker 2: Curri's is closing earlier than it should because the sale
Speaker 2: has been so successful. You might want to let me
Speaker 2: know how that went for you. What did you buy?
Speaker 2: They've got linge or a left shoes and men's wear. Well,
Speaker 2: I hate to say, but I always thought the men's
Speaker 2: were there was particularly a particularly weed selection, and I
Speaker 2: for thought that might be one of their problems was
Speaker 2: the choice of men's We didn't really resonate. It never
Speaker 2: was never quitch for what market they were going for.
Speaker 2: Like this, it's always changes though, doesn't it? Maybe that
Speaker 2: they knew that better?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Interesting, I wonder what the price of railway sleepers was
Speaker 2: because a while there that everyone was redoing their gardens
Speaker 2: with the railway sleepers, weren't they That was a great thing.
Speaker 2: That's a dugable, all those railway lines in the eighties
Speaker 2: and the seventies, and there must have been garden centers
Speaker 2: full of railway seeds. Now they're very hard to get
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars each for a railway sleeper. There must
Speaker 2: have been millions of them gone through into garden centers
Speaker 2: for people to do kind of there gardens in their villas.
Speaker 2: While am I talking about that? I quite like a
Speaker 2: dis case about railway sleepers. Also, people moving from the
Speaker 2: north end to the south under. We want to re
Speaker 2: address all the top I don't know what you want tonight.
Speaker 2: It is a full moon and it's cold. There's also
Speaker 2: the situation with seals, the seal silly season. They're all
Speaker 2: coming ashore and nesting. I quite know what they're doing,
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's the silly season, they say. I know
Speaker 2: there was that one seal that got hugely upstream on
Speaker 2: the Kluther was up as far as the to a
Speaker 2: pack of punt I don't know what the fourth inland
Speaker 2: a seal would be. That might be something that someone's
Speaker 2: got some information about. Yes, I'm after your calls tonight. People,
Speaker 2: You've got something of interest to say, And I guess
Speaker 2: the definition of that is what is interesting. Well, remember
Speaker 2: there's others listening, but it might be more interesting than
Speaker 2: me banging on. So if you don't want to talk tonight,
Speaker 2: it'd be good to hear from you. There's something different
Speaker 2: you want to mention. What is that? People get in touch?
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty you can tell me
Speaker 2: the reason why I should go see et. Well, they
Speaker 2: wouldn't be going to see it, would you. You'd be
Speaker 2: actually watching it on YouTube. I presume he says a
Speaker 2: few of those movies I've never seen, But after a
Speaker 2: while you kind of think, oh, well, actually I've missed
Speaker 2: the boat on that one. Auckland to getting electric ferries
Speaker 2: for Devonport and for Half Moon Bay. They look all right.
Speaker 2: They're made locally, which I thought was quite interesting. I
Speaker 2: think some of them are made of and nui and
Speaker 2: some of them are diesel electric. I'm not in Kylie
Speaker 2: sure how that works, but I think they've got international
Speaker 2: orders for those. And maybe that's our new thing, that
Speaker 2: Hamilton Jet engines in them, carbon fiber composite. It's exciting.
Speaker 2: Maybe they have the battery, maybe the batteries to get
Speaker 2: charged and put on shore. I don't fully know all
Speaker 2: the details about that one. But anyway, if you don't
Speaker 2: want to talk Marcus till twelve, good evening, Mary, It's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 23: Hi Marcus. I just wanted to talk about one of
Speaker 23: my favorite programs on TV. Yes, I'm hearing yourself on
Speaker 23: the radio. I can't reach down there. I'll lose my
Speaker 23: hot water bottle if I do.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I can see that set up now, yep.
Speaker 23: God, And it's absolutely and today was one of the
Speaker 23: best this evening. It's a better fellow called Drew Pritchard.
Speaker 2: Oh you Drew and Tea.
Speaker 23: Oh yeah, well they had.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it.
Speaker 23: Oh got on you, got on you. I know there's
Speaker 23: another man somewhere. He couldn't something went wrong with the
Speaker 23: programs a couple of weeks ago, and and he but anyway,
Speaker 23: Oh it's exquisite. And some of the houses they visits,
Speaker 23: and but this was all about he picked up these
Speaker 23: beautiful antiques. God go into these big fancy houses, and
Speaker 23: he says wildly as a fox. He knows exactly what
Speaker 23: he's doing. But it's so engaged, you know, every the
Speaker 23: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Although I am I am reading somewhere that he's lost
Speaker 2: all his money. Drew brought some big flesh house to
Speaker 2: try and renovate and it didn't work out for him.
Speaker 2: Now I know. Yeah, it's hard to know, because it's
Speaker 2: hard to know. If you're seeing a current of an
Speaker 2: old TV series, I can never keep up. Sometimes I've
Speaker 2: seen them before. It's always quite complicated. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't mind it a bit more of an update what's happening,
Speaker 2: because for a while their tea wasn't there on the
Speaker 2: show that he was back of it.
Speaker 23: Wasn't he Yes, so I noticed that, and somebody else was.
Speaker 23: And then those guys he has working for him that
Speaker 23: do out all that, they're just you know, it's just
Speaker 23: the whole, the whole thing. And of course you see
Speaker 23: all the countryside. But no, this has been in front.
Speaker 2: A huge I've learned a huge amount from watching that show.
Speaker 2: All the old manufacturing places it's that, of course, don't
Speaker 2: but it's an amazing it's amazing look into the history
Speaker 2: of industrial Britain as well, because you see all the
Speaker 2: old factories and woolen factories. It is extraordinary. I love it.
Speaker 23: Some of them are still going. And he you know,
Speaker 23: and he.
Speaker 17: Knows so much.
Speaker 23: But I know, I'm so glad, but you know, I
Speaker 23: sit there and watch it. But no, I wouldn't have
Speaker 23: missed that tonight for quick.
Speaker 2: No, No, what channel? What channel's that on?
Speaker 20: Mere?
Speaker 2: Channel?
Speaker 3: Was that on?
Speaker 7: Mary?
Speaker 18: What was it?
Speaker 23: Must have been one? I think?
Speaker 2: No, okay, I'll keep it on that, thank you, Mary, Jared,
Speaker 2: It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 16: Sheldon Marcus, second time.
Speaker 2: Caller Jared to hear from here again.
Speaker 20: Yep.
Speaker 16: Early this year I moved from Auckland to christ Church
Speaker 16: Great and so main reason I did it was just
Speaker 16: for a change of lifestyle. I was in Auckland twenty
Speaker 16: seven years, which is too long for anybody to live there.
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Are you older than twenty seven?
Speaker 16: I'm a lot older than twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Okay, yep, okay, I understand, yep.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 16: And so I was struggling an often for a few years,
Speaker 16: and I knew I needed to make some changes, but
Speaker 16: I had trouble just working out what to do and
Speaker 16: how to do it. And so I did it. In February.
Speaker 16: I finished my full time job and I started to
Speaker 16: get my house ready to go into the market, and
Speaker 16: I found a townhouse to rent here in christ Church,
Speaker 16: and so I moved down in February. It's just me.
Speaker 16: I'm single with no kids. The cat flew down with
Speaker 16: me and she's down here with me, and yeah, it's
Speaker 16: good here. It's definitely a change from what I'm used to.
Speaker 16: That's what I wanted. So it's working out quite well.
Speaker 16: So my first South Island winter and Yep. It's cold,
Speaker 16: but not unbearable by any means. But yeah, it's colder
Speaker 16: than the North Island ever.
Speaker 2: Was I think it takes two I think it takes
Speaker 2: two years to get used to the climate change.
Speaker 16: Okay, yeah that sounds of that, right. Yeah, so this
Speaker 16: is this one my first experience of the cold winter,
Speaker 16: and yeah, we'll see how it goes from here.
Speaker 2: Did you sell the house at Upland, Jared?
Speaker 16: Yep, it's sold a few weeks after I moved down.
Speaker 2: Because that's quite a fun Did you think twice about that?
Speaker 2: Do you think maybe I'm not going to sell it
Speaker 2: until I've made the decision, because then you can't go back.
Speaker 16: Or I changed my mind so many times about selling
Speaker 16: the house. How am I going to do this? Should
Speaker 16: I find a job first somewhere and then sell the
Speaker 16: house or do it pretty much the opposite way, And
Speaker 16: so it's a bit of a risk. But how also
Speaker 16: quite quickly, I didn't get a great price for it,
Speaker 16: but I did it to move on with my life,
Speaker 16: not to get this price for it. So yeah, it's
Speaker 16: all working out quite well. I've just got to find
Speaker 16: a job now, but.
Speaker 2: It people in christ Church.
Speaker 16: I've got family here.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep? Is it we originally? Is it we're usually from?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 16: I've only ever lived in totng and Auckland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, well yes.
Speaker 16: I've got my older brother here and my two nieces,
Speaker 16: so it's really cool to be able to spend more
Speaker 16: time with my nieces and my brother.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And do you think do you think it's a
Speaker 2: permanent move for you?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 16: Hard to say, but I'm happy here for now, so yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 16: time will tell.
Speaker 2: And you'll know when you're settled, because then when you
Speaker 2: go to leave, you won't want to. That'll be the
Speaker 2: thing that's the tail a you think, Oh, well that
Speaker 2: I'm happy here. Nice to hear from you, Jared, thank you,

Speaker 2: always think that's a bit too mawkish.
Speaker 26: Oh no, I like that one. Sorry, it's a bit
Speaker 26: sad because they hold my stoorways cry.
