LISTEN ABOVE 

You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

I'd be it's Thursday, Welcome to your My name is Marcus. Good evening, hit'll twelve. I hope it's good where you are. I think it's wet too. They're getting bombarded. There was this weather storm that's supposed to hit Auckland. Here it's wet here. There's no flooding. The weather's done. Me spare today. There's nothing worse than when the grass is growing like there's no tomorrow and it's wet, cheapest. It's like moving a dead body, not though I've ever moved a dead body anyway. There's other things to complain about besides the weather. How are you are this fire? If you're across the fire and Burnham, If you're Johnny on the spot of Karen on the corner, let us no. I believe it's contained, but tinder tinder dry. If you've got some eyewitnesses there from christ Church, let me know how that's going south Kenterbury. I guess we'll call that. Be very keen to know what's going on there, So you get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome hit'll twelve. So do you get in touch you got to information about the fire, also how dry it is, because it's not dry in South But I see that Southern District Council working better for a better future. I think it's them anyway, they've put there's a there's a fireban, no use water notice because they're expecting it's going to be a very very dry three months. Even though the ground is saturated after six months of raining. They are predicting that it's going to be very very very very very dry in the summer. Yeah, so I think it's going to be a summer of fires because we're just into summer and there's already fires. But you let me know how dry Canterbury is. That would be of interest to me. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to nine two detects if you have got some information about that, a lot of things until about tonight. Also too, if you've got breaking news, let us know they're breaking users all across that for the next three hours. So I wait four hours rather to eight. Any at first up you've got some fire updates on the fire or updates on how dry it is, it's going to be a bit of a down bars if you're in Canterbury or some you can't have fires or use equipment with motors because you're scared of starting a fire. But I suspect it might be going that way. Yeah, although I think probably there's been suspicious how the fires have started that right, they've won up in Colvidon's. They're saying something with school camps or something up there. Were they anyway, get in touch. My name's Marcus. Welcome, Jim Stead and gee he's phonded a nertly. He's going to be there here tonight. By the way, it is Christmas jusey, Christmas Jumper day. There's one thing you'd never see me in as a Christmas jumper, although I should say never say never. I've gone and got myself involved with a secret center. I've gone against one of my core beliefs thirty dollars limit, and it's one you've got a name. I don't know about the Yankee swap. I haven't. It's been hard to get the details. I've panicked about it. But anyway, that's a situation there. Oh, eight hundred and eighty eight, Tom Marcus welcome, good evening.

Yeah, you get a Marcus. I've just driven past the fire and burn him. It seems to be contained and just a little bit of smoldering onside the road.

Much area is seemed with boot It's just grass or pasture, is it?

Ah?

Yeah, it's just just grass by the Elizabeth. I'm going south, so it was sort of over my shoulder. I couldn't really have.

A good block.

But yeah, they just set up along the along the bank of the river, and there's a couple of paddicks that seem to be all burned out, and then a little bit of a pine forest, but none of the trees are like fully burnt, just just chart.

Okay, are you a are you a farmer? Tom?

No?

Okay, because I'm never quite sure if there's a lot do they leave grass long at this time with you to make Hey, is that what would have caught fire?

You're asking the wrong per Okay.

It's a good report, though, I think is it is it? Is it south of the why uh Salwyn River or north of that?

North of the Selwyn River?

Okay? But okay, yeah, I was sort.

Of having to plan my road. I'm on the way to tomorrow, but yeah, the Google Maps changed just before I got on the road, so I'm just taking say highway to the whole way, and yeah, I didn't have to take any diversions or anything.

Okay, appreciate that's just men to support Tom. Thanks so much for that. So as that's well contained, there's not much to boon. There be quite curious for someone that's on the trektors this time with the night to tell me how the whole summer pasture things works for farmers. When did they start getting the first hayen? And what's it when they just cut all the grass? They just take that and dump that silage? Do you do silage when you can't trust the weather? Is that how that works? If you got some information about that, I'll be dead keen to hear from you. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine ten nine two detext. I'll keep you updated. With the Breakers they are playing the jack Jumpers. Breakers are fifth, jack Jumpers are seventh. They're the Tezzy team. So what channel ten is it? I'll go to ESPN. I'm closer. What's my hard work going through all those channels on that damn remote? Down by ten? Breakers? Jay Jumpers. There we go. Nineteen twenty nine, Tezzy in the front nine thirty five. Left in the f isg out to a strong start out the left in the second sorry out to a very strong start. The jack Jumpers keep in touching on talk markets till twelve. Here's another question for me. I've got a lot to ask you about. So I'm trying to get more into Marketplace on Facebook because it seems to be not many listenings listings on trade me. So, if you're buying stuff on marketplace right and we all are, if it's not Team Who, it's Marketplace. I want to do a search for the product I'm after, but I want to search the whole country. But I can only get a five hundred K limit. Can I bang that out to cover the whole of New Zealand. I can't work out how to do that. Has someone got a hack for that? Because every time I go to Facebook and go to Marketplace, I'm limited. Yeah, so I've got some information about that. Let me know about that, because it doesn't work for me. I'm sick of having to do four different locations around the country to do a search for what I want to buy. It's a pig of a thing, isn't it. By the way, I'm not buying my Secret Center on Marketplace. And I've got to say, with my secret Center, I'm still not convinced I've got the mental calmness to actually go right through to Christmas Day and fulfill my brief of secret Center. So yeah, I'm worried about that. Just seems so terrifying for me. Anyway, get in touch Marcus till twelve. Oh wait her at today we're talking about the fire, and we're talking about Marketplace. But I wanted to search all New Zealand think, can you help me with that one? I'd be appreciative of that. If you've got some information doesn't work for me, can't get it to work, it could just do within five hundred ks, Marcus, it's called me Caracas with a K.

Oh.

That's all right, because EM and K are quite close on the keyboard. I forgive you. If K was miles away from him on the keyboard, I think, well, you've gone on of your way to call me Carcas Marcus. I did the Secret Center at work this year. Never done it before because I hate the stealing. A couple of people stole gifts, but I was the last to pick and got a box of boiled tart, sweet apples, boiled tart apple sweets delicious, and a three D puzzle that sounds fantastic. I bought Ferraro orro shares as my gift because I almost forgot. The person who got them loves them. I personally hate them. Oh, you couldn't hate Ferraro shahs. They're like any little clouds, little crispy clouds. I love those, Marcus. It's really drying. Canterbury. We detailed coming back to christ Church, but the detour led to a river crossing. When we got their five cars was duck in the stones. Lucky townies. Luck you're in a four wheel drive. Too many police cars heading south from Mount Wellington on ramps, so there's something happening on the Auckland Motorway. I think it's the silly season for crazy crimes and all the ram raids are back, not that they're calling them ram raids anymore. They're calling them car assisted robberies or something, which is crazy. So these are all good questions i'm asking or the other thing I'm thinking about today. So here's a question for you. Now, it's a pretty entry level, easy talkback question. This one. I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, And it's one of those mind experiments. It's not a very exciting mind experiment. I'm just curious to know if you had to choose for the whole future. I've just been able to eat one between tinned baked beans or tin spaghetti, which one would you go with? Because I'm thinking the beans are healthier, but the spaghetti's more delicious. Would that be a common choice. I'm not saying we'd live on. I'm not saying it's the food of the gods. But if you just had to choose one, which way would you go? The tin spaghetti or the tin baked beans? I want which one you tire of earlier? I think that's an interesting question for a pre Christmas show. It's got us off the fairies and the greyhounds. Although I was fascinated by that caller last night that rang up. Here's how greyhounds work, right, You buy a greyhound for six grand, You take it to the trainer. You say, get a blowie meat, such and such. Here's the greyhound right now. That's the only money you pay. So what happens from then on is that the trainer feeds the dog and trains the dog. And you get half of the winnings. I mean, how straightforward does that sound? Of course, it's a sport that's only got eighteen months to go. I had no idea it was so straightforward. And of course that's why I suppose why they why a lot of dogs are put out to pasture because the trainers getting half the money. Not a very good dog. The train is not going to be interested much more, is he. Anyway, I'm not saying that's a talk back topic, but it's very interested to hear what that's about. So there we go. The baked beans or the spaghetti. Here we go, baked beans all day, far more options to jazz it up or jazz it down. I would have thought there's more options to jazz up the spaghetti. I've never seen baked beans jazzed up. By the way, can you even say baked beans jazzed up? It seems a bit like it seems a bit grandiose. Beans all day, far more options to jazz it up or down. How would you jazz baked beans down? It's about as low as you have to have. You have to have a shovel to jazz it down. Wouldn't you baked beans better protein definitely regards stuffel. The reason I'm saying that's because of the season of people to come to New Zealand to complain about our food. The first complaint was a journalist from Australia that was complaining about the Phidia dollar burrito at Queenstown, and fair enough to Queenstin had some terrible food. The best, bitch, you go out to that Frankdin French bakery and get one of those walnut and pat a kind of a sandwich situation. Delicious, Marcus. My vote baked beans neither spagheti or baked beans. Hate them both. That's not what I was saying, Rebecca. We're not stopped thinking if you had to choose one, not if you couldn't choose any What a waste of twenty cents cheese that jazz is baked beans up? How would your jazz up bake? But where would you put the cheese? These are all very good questions. I think I've thrown too many topics at you tonight. I am interested in marketplace. I am interested in baked beans versus spaghetti. I think it's sad that no one said spaghetti or here we go, Marcus spaghetti of the way, can do so many variations with it, Raewan, that'll be the pizza that'll be there on toast under a mouse trap. What are the variations can you do with tin spaghetti? Someone says tin spaghetti is too soft? Baked beans jazzed up. That's the name of the podcast, Hey Dan?

Is that right?

Quick email? Just to clarify, the far is south of Burnham and therefore in Alsemere, which is north. If it was north of burn it would be in Malvin, both Malvin and elsewhere and make up the Selwyn district. So not in South Canterbury, which is between White Tucky and Rangatata rivers. South Canterbury. People do not see themselves as Cantabrians in our distinct group of people far away from rah Rahs in the like of christ Church and North Canterbury. Great explanation, Tony, Marcus, welcome.

Hire you go, Marcus.

Oh thanks good, thank you Tony.

Now this marketplace thing you're going on about, you're trying to buy something, yep, and you want to buy it from anywhere in New Yalain.

I want to just search for the thing I'm buying each night when I go to work like I do with my trade me. But it can only do a search within five hundred k's of where.

I live, right, Yeah, I'm I'm not too sure whether there's a thing called boasting. Oh you boost it? Yeah, a that a cost cost money?

Really I can boost it?

Yeah, you can boost it. I'm pretty sure you can boost whatever you're trying to trying to buy. But you can when you're selling something, but I haven't done it.

When something i'd love to boost it, well you.

Can try that. But that's the only thing I can think of, because I'm on Marketplace myself. I mean, I do lawn mowing.

You see, Oh you what's your lawnmowing company called?

It's called a motown mowing, mate, not motown Mary.

No motown mowing. Is it going all right for you?

Oh?

Mate? She's yeah, we're thriving at the moment. Yeah, we're pretty busy. But yeah, to get something on Marketplace, it's a great venue because you know, you can go straight if you want to buy something in Auckland, and then Auckland's got everything for sale, mate, you don't need to you don't need to look over all over new Hill and everything is in Auckland.

Beans, beansles spaghetti for you, Tony.

I bean been beans meantime, mate.

Okay, good on you. A lot of controversy about this. Marcus. Were at a Cafe Tito the early one morning. Three young American tourists coming reading the menu expressed expressed absolute bewilderment. Ask the caffe ona why they would put spaghetti on toast. Maybe they don't have tin speedy of there. It is weird. You're putting carbs on carbs, isn't it. It is weird as a concept, spaghetti on toast. It's like, yeah, I don't know what to what to say about that. It's weird. Hello, Mike, it's Marcus.

Welcome, Good evening, Marcus. I know you said picked between the two, but for me it's fake beans in the morning and spaghetti at night.

Wow.

Yeah, so baked beans in the morning with fried tomato and backing and poached eggs.

Yeah.

And at night it's the schedy on toast for the poached egg. Beautiful, mate.

If you could choose one, you wouldn't.

No, I love them both.

I appreciate your passion. Mike, go you cafe Scott.

Marcus welcome, Hey Marcus, just say talking about the Facebook and being able to view things in different places. Are you aware you can change the city that you're viewing stuff.

Yes, But that's a lot of fair thing around, isn't it. Because I've got to do three different things at seven five hundreds each.

It's five hundred k's the limit?

Is it the upper limit? Yeah?

Yeah, I hadn't really. I mean, I've never looked something that far away because I'd rather, you know, find something on local. But I wanted to check it. I mean, I'm in Auckland that I just had a look at the end of the cargo page. I wanted to check it. At least you could.

Yeah, it's coming to New Zealands.

Yeah, I mean you have to do lower South kind of the central and then you have to do probably par me Up or something, wouldn't you.

Yeah, I do in the cargol then christ Church, then Wellington and Auckland. But that's four different searches.

But as a five hundred radius, I mean I think so would you if you're doing in Vericago, wouldn't you still be getting most of the christ Church anyway?

No, I think it's five hundred k's between the Caago and christ chech, isn't it maybe, especially screaming kids in the characters a long way to screaming kids are well, they do it well. They don't normally scream, to be fair, but you know, it always seems it always Yeah, it's five hundred and sixty one.

K's oh, I see it.

It's like Aukland Wellington. People don't think they think, oh christ Church. Then then the cargo's just there, but it's at Aukland Wellington.

Is it really?

Yeah?

No, I mean I guess that makes sense.

I've done christ Church, been the need and I haven't been.

Think it's another as three hours onto that. That's why people think, oh, well, you know you're fine. But yeah, it's why we need trains and theories that are rail enabled. I think Winston's going to do us well with us. By the way, I've changed my tune a bit about this. He's all for the rail enabled. He's old school. Here's someone this is typical of talk back and the internet in this modern day. What about cream corn? The topic was quite specific. It was a choice be in tinned spaghetti or tinned baked beans, Which would you choose if you could only eat one forever? Not only that. But if you can only eat one, you know what I'm saying. It's a mind experiment. But people are saying bakeer spaghetti, and people are saying baked beans. You could jazz up with jazz down. I don'tink the only one who jazz down Baked beans would be put them on gluten and free bread, wouldn't it. We'll put them on a wafer. Baked beans to be a good name for a restaurant, wouldn't it, Baked beans jazzed up?

Steve some baked beans.

I don't want to, but someone says you could jazz and up jas put them on.

Top of my Yeah, shehap is pie. What I do for the crust is mesh up four cumeras and put it in a tin of baked beans. Mix them in with a mesh couma, poured it over the top. You have a sheepish pie. Fry up a little bit of tomato rings put on top. It's a nice tasty cheese. Put it under the grill.

A caffe that sounds delicious feeds six. Really, who are those six?

I've got some frenzy. They like my tucker, A nice bit of lamb mince and I've cooked that, made a nice gravy, put in a handful of raisins, the sweet with the meat, and I get a big bag and the cans mixed vegetables, boil them up and put that over the top of the meat, and then put the kumera and the baked beans over the top of the topping. And it's just slice the tomato thin, try it, put it on top, and a nice bit of grated tasty cheese under the group. I'll tell you what I've got two guys. I reckon if there were a female and thirty years younger, they'd marry me.

That's a pretty modern thing to say, isn't it.

I know it is.

If you were female, Well, that's a good compliment in your nick of the woods.

I love my tagger.

Yeah, if you were female and thirty years younger, they'd marry you. That's a real compliment. Have you worked out where you're going for Christmas?

To share?

Steve?

No, we staying home, having anyone coming around?

Oh no, I think it'll be a very quiet one. I might go in and see you made of mine around the corner of it, and he've been here a short time, and we might share a bit of homebrew.

That's a good idea.

Can port here my home brews?

Well?

Beck, have you got your shot a turkey? Have you?

Yeah?

I've got it in the in the freezer. It was shot, it's been corned and smoked. You cut in half and it's yeah. It'll be just put in the oven, just half as enough for me.

To watch your home brew. It's probably parsley or something.

Is it.

No, I've got fee here of wine.

Good.

I've got some sash brewer.

Yep, brute beer yep.

And I've got a nice lager brilliant.

Okay, Oh it sounds it sounds like an explosive mixed Steve, Thank you very much for that. Someone said that man has a PhD In jazzing up beans. Well, that's a jazzed up bean top of the shepherd's pie. If it was thirty years younger and a woman, I'd marry him. Marcus books some careen lies onion through the baked beans with a dash of Colby Delish? Can we stop saying delish? Uncle Mikey Like spagheens, spaghetti and beans mixed together. Spagheens. Marcus almost backing christ Church you after starting on Stuart Island this morning on a nice day for a crossing free calm the lake. They even took the barge across. I saw dropped off a two A group in Queenstown and almost in christ Church was advised to take the Rakaya Gorge route, which I did. Roade was dead quiet. Baked beans over a baked potato, grated cheese, letuce and mayo was just the bee's knees for me. Spaghetti doesn't do anything for me. I'll tell you what isn't good spaghetti. Of those little sausages, they're not a sausage. I don't even know what that is. It's like a it's not a sausage. Probably a food crime. Simon ands Marcus, welcome, good evening, you good, thank you. Simon.

Oh good baked beans, finely chopped garlick and love bathroom and a tablespoon of honey in us and mix on them. Heats up.

Hey, what's then you do?

Oh?

Just just because of the nice and say it.

So if you choose one, you choose the baked beans. Is that right?

Yeah?

Yeah, you're pretty firm on that. Simon. Good On, you're twenty two away from nine. I just asked the question us one, would you go baked beans or spaghetti? Someone said baked beans because you can jazz them up and jazz them down. I'm not sure how he could jazz them down because they're pretty down. Anyway, Someone's texted and they miss Marcus Spaghetti and milk. Spaghetti and milk and drink it like a soup. Well, that is jazzing it down. Get in touch Marcus till midnight. Lisa. Hello, Okay, so good Lisa, thank you.

It's good.

So you want to get some chibata bread and then you want to put some maca slash, and then you want to put some onion on it, and then some spaghetti tomato because of what the tomato once it gets cockedal spun her and then some cheese on top and then put it on grill in the oven. I'm not going to say delish to.

The person who you're talking to. You should just the first name should be enough, shouldn't it Mary, that you'd be talking to you?

She probably say okay.

Okay, I don't know. I don't know. I didn't sound like I did.

For Christmas?

Are you weaking over Christmas?

No?

Heading for the oh Mitch lovely you enjoy that.

I've got four weeks and I'm here next week. Yeah, and funny, if it's my eldest boys last day of primary school tomorrow, are you supposed to walk You're supposed to walk them to school on the last day. It's a big song dance on the first. The last seems like a bit of anti climax.

Oh, i'd say, I'd say not. I'll say he'd be the one to ask it.

Yea, I'm not quite sure what to do for that. How we could recognize that it means they have to get up boot because I said I welcome to school. But I can't really be bothered. But so, I mean they picked up their bags and cleaned the school a week ago. There's just water fights and stuff. I'd rather take them down to see Wicked, but he's not keen at all. But anyway, I'm into these passing of what it might elstones or millstones as you could probably call them. So, yes, that's exciting. That's tomorrow. I told him that six years, that's twelve hundred that's seven two hundred hours he's been there, and so we've got to acknowledge that I'm not quite sure how that's going to be any who delish? Oh, I like Lisa Marcus Slash nineteen to nine, Hedle twelve seems a long way away, now, don't it. This tall guy is always falling down the guy for the breakers, Marcus. These suggestions are he in as clear as as are heathens and criminals. Disgusting Marcus. I put baked beans on pasta instead of Bolonne's sauce. Frank, Frank the tank. What about spagheines spaghetian I love a portmanteau with food, spaghines on he don't let's have the spagheines. It'd be worth putting that on a restaurant. Mean you. I have had a cafe to do spagheines just as a conversation. I record it go viral. I don't even know if you could google up with it to be anyone that would sell spaghines. No, And I realized that, Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not going to apologize for what people like to eat. But yeah, I tell you that one thing I'm opposed to snobbery. But what's say Lisa? She wants to put his spagheines on a giparta toast of course, we've come a long way as a country, haven't we. Do You know how, here's a question for you. Do you know how long Japarta bread has been around for? How long do you think Japarta bread has been around for in Italy? I think it would be five thousand years, one thousand years or five hundred years. Never think about that and let me know.

Oh, by the way, I I've been reading some interesting articles about the restoration of the hotel of the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Very interesting. I forget the bits that were so interesting, but gee, what a story that is to do that in five years. If it inspired me to go and read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which I haven't done yet, that's on my Christmas list. I don't know why I've never read that. Not many books based on a cathedral. I couldn't even tell you what I falls in love? Does he the Hunchback? I think that's probably what it's about. Or I got that confused with Lamers or they as similar as one based or not Lamer's the other one fandom of the opera, there's one based on the other. Is it just something that's mixed up in my mind? By the way, what's the etiquette for getting out of secret center? Because I got myself in one and it's already causing me panic attacks. By the way, the Japarta bread I asked about the Japarta bread that Lisa suggested that has been around. Get this. According to Wikipedia, it was created or invented in nineteen eighty two and a reply to the French baget. So it's been around for forty three years. Not long at all. Marcus, very Christmas Tilly sausage. Could give a shout out to Liam. He loves this radio station. It's a worry. How old are Liam as a young or role? It sounds like he sounds like he might be a kid. By the way, is lame as a fan of the opera based on the hunch Pocker Notre Dame. He's twenty, Hi, Liam, I'm looking forty twenty first day? Is that still a big thing? Oh, he's already twenty one. They've got the They got the age wrong, sop. You can't win, Marcus. Baked beans a better because you're eating cold straight from the cancer. But it needs to be hot and gross of cold. Marcus, I have baked beans with mutton Ham while watching the Greyhounds. That's a good text. That's someone that's been listening for a long long time. Good evening, Andy, Yeah, hey you Marcus, good Andy, thank you.

Yeah, it's just ring up a bit. I was driving home and I was listening to you thing about the marketplace.

Yep, so the film righted.

Change sense meter took over recently, So am I going to the search engine? So today, for instance, I typed in a Holly carburetor and then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just for instance, you know a thing that I might look at. So then it goes and then it comes up like eight little square windows with prices. So when I found in the old way used to like our tap all and then there'd be a big list that you could just go for a scroll. But now when you tap all, it just does your region, and there might be two or there might be none, and then it just says the end of results. You end of results. So before I so before I tap on all, one of those little square pictures that have got the price like a thousand dollars or two hundred dollars, I just tap on that and then I start scrolling down and then a whole heap will come up.

Okay, so where do you go again? You type on your thing and that brings them up or the pictures and then.

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, so those little pictures and all we have a price. It might be half a dozen pictures. Yeah, and then and then I just tap on one of those little pictures and then I just start scrolling down and then there's a whole list of there's a whole list of stuff around the country.

Yep, yeah, okay, I want to look more into that end e but thank you appreciate that it didn't quite work for me. But that's good. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten nine nine to the text. Keep those texts coming in. JT. Marcus, welcome you Marcus.

I've never had baked beans in my life, really like like spaghetti and never had any never had anything other than what is spaghetti?

Are you like? Now, don't take this the wrong way other people out there listening. You know how there are some people who won't eat certain foods because of the way they look. People that they say they're on the.

Yeah, that's probably that's probably me.

I want to know say the word because I was going to say, it's gonna upset okay, so yeah, okay, what would what would cause you to try them?

No, I'm never I will die before I eat baked beans. I'm not going to eat them ever. I don't like nuts, mind you. If they're in some other food, I'll probably eat them. But I want to know when was the last time Lux and Nichola Willis and Winston Peters last went on an into island theory or crossed cook straight on a ship. I guarantee you they haven't done at this century.

Willis or Lux and I reckon never would have. I reckon Winston probably because he always seems to have mates that work on them, because he's always got the intel, isn't he the.

He probably would have done it in the seventies or eighties, nineties.

Maybe he would have.

Had some road trip. He would had some road trip. Keeps keep News Inland First with that white van with a flag. He would have driven it around the country. He would let's get on the air when it was and it's kind of when one time when the News in First was kind of down in the poles, he'd be driving around the country talking from the back of that track, going on the Ender Islander.

But even then he probably was flying and the bus was traveling by land.

It's a good point. I've never seen luxan on a few times. Would you see a movie on the interne If you get on it and there's a movie playing, would you go to that movie? Yep, yeah, I saw. I saw Coyote Ugly on the ferry and it was good.

Well, there's hardly any movies that you've ever watched in your whole life, so that's quite surprising me.

I thought I've watched a lot of movies. Do you reckon? I've not watched many.

It was all those movies that you've never seen before.

Oh what, Jaws and et, plus.

All the other classics like what. Well, I just want to get back onto the ferries. You know. There needs to be a new terminal building built at Picton, needs to be new vehicle ramps. There needs to be a new bridge over Dublin Street and Picton, just so that the traffic can flow when all the cars are queued up waiting for the ferry to leave. It's just an absolute complete cluster. It's like some of these politicians don't seem to realize that the cock straight is the most important piece of state Highway one and the entire country.

The most important needs to be robust and future proofed.

Especially after WAHENI. We know, we can see, we can see what could possibly happen in the next few years. And also they need to sort out the military. Not giving a pay rise to defense for staff, that's just unconstable. Why don't they just give police and defense force people inflation adjusted pay every year and depoliticize it. That would be the way to go.

Are you still burning a candle for Cape Campbell or Clifford Bay?

No, because of the quake, just because it costs you much and national won't do it. You're probably better off to build a new terminal out on Tory Channel somehow. But no, you're better off just to stick to the way it is. Okay, it works fine.

I just know that that was a big thing there for a long long time. Okay. JT. Nice to talk to you. Thank you. Just coming up towards the news people head on Midnight Manimes, Marcus, welcome, Marcus, last caller speaks the truth. The only way Luxon would travel would be with a chauffeur and some lucky to open the door for him to walk with Kings and keep the common touch. He likes it on TikTok that way. Greetings, welcome here on midnight tonight, Jim Steden. Funny enough, he's on tonight, which makes me keep thinking it's Friday, but it's very much Thursday because it because I got school to row. The numbers always an eighty. Ashley, thanks for hanging on there for Everett's Marcus.

Welcome, Hi, Marcus Cleave.

How are you good?

Thank you, Ashley, little story for you. I'm sixty seven years old, two year two and a bun years ago, I was sitting in a two bedroom flat renting, winning.

What to do with my life?

And I started watching YouTube.

Channel you did you own the two bedroom flat?

No, I rented it. I rented it and I had I had my Kiwi Savor coming through, and I was worrying what to do, and I started studying. I suppose studying. You can just call it that YouTube. And I started, well, we call.

That, we've got it watching YouTube.

I think watching okay, I learned a lot. So anyway, so I thought, okay, I actually watched Tesla for about six years.

Off and on, but a lot you watched what.

Sorry YouTube? And I started studying Tesla.

Oh the car company.

Yep, yeah, well they're not a car company, They're an AI company and and and Elon Musk and I decided when I my kiwisaver came through, I decided to buy some tears of shares. I opened the shares's account and I bought. I bought the shares, and they immediately dropped thirty percent.

According to worker Wikipedia, Tesla is a multinational automotive company.

Yeah, well that's that's only one part of them. Anyway, So what I did is I bought some tens of shares. They dropped thirty percent, and I waited. Anyway, the end result is at at the end of this year, they they well overdoubled. I made I think of seventy three percent on my money.

And I'm pretty yacht and how and how many years.

To two years two months? And I'm now down here entering in the.

When did you buy?

So?

When did you buy?

I bought the yacht last week.

Now when did you buy the shares?

I bought the shares two years two months ago when I October. I bought the shares October the two when I shared sixty five two years.

Ago October the fourteenth two and five dollars US per year.

That's total of the eighth that was I bought them for my birthday.

Okay, really ontob of the fourteenth two hundred and five US dollars.

That's right there now three fifty, don't they.

Four two, four seventy seven?

I oh, okay, any right, So anyway I've brought this. I'm now sitting down Evanspace anchor just knocked the boat deads here in my yacht. I'm going to sail north north in the next few weeks. Point is what I would like to tell for your for your for yourself, and for your listeners. There's a gold No, there's an opportunity heading up in a commercial world that I know they followed for a long time but never invested that it could make a lot of people a lot of money, very very quickly. And when I say quickly, with over the next five to six years, you can turn ten thousand dollars and there's not fine the sky well over a million. And I'll tell you why. Cybercab was launched this year, about a month ago. Cybercab's a two door cab that has no no stearing well no, no pedals, no driver. At the same event where they launched showed the cybercab, they would there were Tiesler bots walking around, you know, interaction with people. If you look on YouTube at the moment, put in tiler blot catching tennispal, you'll be amazed. Elon says, the tis the boots on its third generation. He says, usually it takes three generations to get something great. They said cars right for a long time. Now Tisner has solved real world AI. You don't listen to me yet, they've solved that Tesser doesn't come out. People say, oh, Wavemo's way here. Then Weymo is not way here. Then waymot is going to go broke.

With a Wymo.

The cars cost one hundred thousand dollars each. You've got to mep a city if anything changes tonight.

Mere Actually, so you think Tesla's cheese are going to go up and you want to want to go Actually am not interested. But is it what you've rung up to say that Tesla's cheese will go up people? People should buy them? Is that what you're saying?

How let me cut to the chase. Right now, Chesney's market cap is one point two trillion, and the shares I'll go through fifty there four two five. When Cybercab comes online, which is next year, and they're ready to mass produce a cybercab, market cap will be two point two trillion. They will take tens of shares to one thousand dollars. This year, Tesla boot comes online too.

Sorry, this is not interesting. We've been talking about other stuff. You've come and randomly full of specific information. Sounds like you've been drinking the kool aid.

You haven't been drinking anything, man, completely straight.

Yeah, yeah, but read the room.

You know.

It has just gone into all sorts of all sorts of you sound panetical.

Well, with the money, we know we would be nice.

Well they might lose all their money too.

No, they can't. They can't.

Dear good night. I felt like I was on one of that TV show on Sky and just talk about money the whole time. I don't mind people talking about shears or saying what that, But you know, jeaps, I head over the head with it, you know, get in touch. Oh, Marcus, Christmas school holidays nearly. I can't. Really, that doesn't makes sense, Marcus. My sister told me she heard that Dick van Dyke's house was under threat for the fires in Malibu.

Wow.

I hadn't heard that. Of course. That's one of my predictions is that Dick van Dyke surprise survives the year be terrible at ninety nine if he died in a fire. Marcus Audrey, here we are over nineteen in our cambravan in Oxford, Canterbury, and a few fire engineers headed out of town. Wow, so you might want to talk or let us know something about that, Gordon, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Hello, good thing, Gordon, excellent time.

Just just hearing about your Facebook there, Yes, market, yes, yeah, yep, yep.

From my experience there, it doesn't matter what you're, how far out from you you are, whatever you type in there, if you keep scrolling down and says results outside your search area.

Is it all of them or just some of them?

Though it should be all of them are just focon with many how many pages there are? I just kept scrolling through.

Okayl I've wondered about that. That's why it's important to ask, because I wonder if that was all of them or just some suggested ones.

Well, I suppose once it goes off topic, there you'll know you're at the end of them.

Yeah, okay, because it didn't seem to be as many that okay.

Then yeah, you run out of your church results.

Okay, I appreciate That's good advice, Gordon. I appreciate that. Thank you. Sixteen past nine, keep you going nine to nine to to text. Try baked beans with mayonnaise. Best foods will change your life. There you go. Marcus of recent as it a French restaurant. I said to the way to do have frog legs? He said yes. I said, hop across the road and get me a pack of cigarettes. Very good, Marcus. Whatever you do, don't buy the budget band. Spaghetti not for human consumption? What is or nothing? Best spaghetti Discovery spaghetti, toasted sanwage right out of the irons, and blue cheese spread topside. Can you please tell me who is hosting after midnight? No, Jillian, get a life. Surely someone can't work out three hours before midnight what's going to happen with who's gonna be on the midawn show? That's just crazy. I did ask if you could just choose one for the rest of your life, would it be baked beans or spaghetti? And most people try to redefine the question, which is the modern condition. No one can just ask any answer anything they've got actually change it. Someone said, I'd rather have baked beans because you can jazz them down. Have you ever seen a jazz down bake? A jazz down bake beans with jazz downed anyway, jazzed down? Get in touch. My name's Marcus welcome Headled twelve. No one really knows what's going to happen to Tesley years because of course, if there's all this great future development that's coming, that will be priced into the share price, people investigate what's going to happen, and that's all facked it in. Someone said pickles and salted Vigo chips are life changing. Don't say on the radio. I like that, Like if I was going to go out and buy it. How are you all going? People? And listen to land? My name is Marcus welcome Head on midnight, Oh, I want to keep you up to that. With the news. I sense a lot's happening. I'm not saying it's earthquake weather, but there's stuff happening out there. There's a big meteor shower coming yep, a big meteorite shower that's on its way. You might have some information about that. It's the Geminid's media shower. We must go through it every year. It'll peak this weekend, but it's going to be a full moon, which will reduce your chance to see it. I reckon, to be honest, I think media showers are disappointing. That's my take on it. Too much reporting of them these days. I think it was better when we didn't have know when media showers were coming. I've never gone out looking for one and seen it Aurora, Australis.

Though.

On the other hand, that's always good. Beck at your eighteen past nine. My name is Marcus hitdled midnight. Mm hmm, there's other stuff you want to talk about? Good? Oh yeah, I'm hearing you. Someone's sending a loaf of bread best before the twelfth of December and it's got mold all over at Vogels. I reckon they're bagging it too hot. Particularly it seems to be a brown loaf, seems to be more more mold prone like the healthier loaves. But that's an outrage that. It's quite amazing looking at mold day, how it just grows like that, even how there's what that one circle there that's on both slices, like it's kept its circle structure but gone over the slice and the loaf. Wow, it's like a five dollar life for breed. Just unusable. Hi, Trevor, it's Marcus. Welcome, here you go.

I just thought I get you back on track, mate. They talk about the Hunchback of Notre Damn. Sure, yeah that was he was a bell ringer back in the fifteenth century and managed to get loose. And the other one was the Phantom of the Opera. Yeah, he was fictional, but it was an incredible story by Andrew Lloyd. Web been to both places, and the most amusing part is when you actually go to the opera house in Paris. I don't know if you've been to Fantom of the Opera, but there's a booth which the Phantom always wanted to keep empty, and it's quite amusing that the carpet is totally worn out in the front of the door, where everybody's trying to poke their heads through the door just to have a look at what the old Fensom's room.

Would look like.

Have you read The Hunchback?

No I haven't, but yeah, a bit of a mediography and.

Yeah, I'm gonna yeah, I'm just on the BAP because I think the fact that he wrote that book meant that the cathedral got saved, because I think it was in ruin when he wrote that book. It was like in a really bad state of repair. Of course, they had the revolution and they probably fairly destroyed that during that one.

Also, are you talking about the Notre Damn Cathedral.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But yeah, I just wanted to read that, Trevor. But thank you. It's on my list anyway. Nice to hear from you. Oh, eight eight eight. I think Napoleon got what did he get? Did he get inaugurated in the not to do? What's the word you got when you get? I don't know why he did something in it. That's the coronation happened there December four. The cathedral Notts have done to was to Paris was the stage on which the coronation of Apollion the first was played out, and the presence of Pope Pious the seventh, the new emperor, broke from tradition by crowning himself and pronouncing an oath guaranteeing the preservation of the gains of the Revolution apparently too when he did get crowned in the cathedral, it was just in a state of ruins that the kind of hand carpets in the abbey to make it look decent. That's just how it was, Marcus Vogue. Or must be refrigerated to keep love your show, Marcus, we were told by country reunerves on the Northern East Coast and under the Health and Safety Act, due to potential food poisoning, farmers are prohibitent from allowing Lamb's tales to leave the farm gatenymore. Also, raw milk is almost non existent. To get what a pity and other delicacy gone, Marcus. Off top of our two children got awards at the end of year school prize giving no better feit them. Been proud of your children. Has always loved your show. Have a good break, cheers. Baked beans ten minutes, one melt, two tablespoons butter and a pan four rereshes bacon, chopped half onion till brown, stir, add baked beans, add sugar, mustard, serve over toast, grated cheese on top. I also had the same thing with vogels. Bread was moldy and dry. Would open it the next day, next day, still days before the expiry date. What had a stronger would email? Had a reply from them with a free voucher for more vogels, which were surprisingly fresh, thank god. And today ruin are a bad loaf of bread, a rotten love, but voguls particularly bad. And the one we had was bad. I forget what it was. I think it was a Mullenberg, like a linseed one. It was about two days ago, two weeks ago we did the moldy Bread show. Marcus other meteor is going to be a one night spectacle of what we said a few times. I think it's a one night spectacle on the weekend. But there's a full moon, so they'll be hard to see because the sky will be quite bright. They won't be that effective, which is a shame. Head or twelve. My name is Marcus Welcome. I just asked a quite straightforw question. If you had to choose one, would you choose spaghetti, tin spaghetti or tin baked beans. The option was not to choose none. It was if you had to choose one. Ah, get in touch if you want to be a part of the show. My name is Marcus Welcome. Hurdle twelve, seventy three, ninety one, still eighteen behind in the basketball. Oh, by the way, that's sorry about basketball. This is one that we have been following.

Well.

It's become quite a big story basketball. By this last update on this, basketball is quickly becoming New Zealand's trendy aus sport. The surging popularity has been so overwhelming the basketball and he's in a struggle to keep pace with the booming demand. The popularity is causing problems all over the show, according to Dylan Boucher, not just venues for having coaches, officials, score bench volunteers. It's putting pressure on the system. There are kids missing out right now, which is not a nice feeling. That's the other thing about it too. I imagine it's fairly needy for administrators because you go to a basketball match, there's more than just a couple of referees. There's all those people doing the scoring. It's the second most popular secondary school participations in the sport in our TIEROA schools. You're right about me saying that behind netball is expected to become the most popular by twenty twenty six. So there you go. Not enough courtse Hi James it's Marcus. Welcome, good a mark Us.

How's it goin?

Good? Thanks James.

Yeah, look, I just just say before a bit, hair, you should probably diversify your portfolio instead of owning a single Tessela this year. But I was just thinking, if you look at Nancy Pelosi, who's been in the news a lot here and her husband about insider trading, it seems to work over in the US, isn't it. Where you know, all these government officials have access to more information and so they buy their shares. And when you look at eat On musks networth going up by massive amounts after Trump's election, it seems to work. So I think you're not stupid for just putting all your money on eat On Musk, who's now been given government portfolios over there.

Have you done that?

Yeah?

No, I did straight afterwards. Yeah. Yeah, probably should have done it sooner would have gone way up.

You put all your money into Tesla stocks.

I put a lot of my portfolio money in into it. Not my own like you disposable money, but my portfolio money. Yet moved that over to Tesla.

What is that money you've borrowed for shares?

Oh no, no, it's money that's already in shares. Moved that over to teslath from other pretty much all my New Zealand portfolio, moved that over to Tesler.

You got any bitcoin?

Ah, a little bit?

How's that? How's that gone for you?

I've had it for a couple of years, went down a big amount and then went back out.

Have you come back out on top?

I did in bitcoin? Then I started getting into some smaller stuff. But yeah, that's doing all right, not too not as well as you'd like. But no, Bitcoin's doing all right. Yep, But no, it's just the Tesla stuff and all the insider trading that goes on in the government over there. I'm okay betting on that, I'd say anyone would be.

But if the market knows all about that and the wisdom of the market, then how's that going to pay off in the long term? Wouldn't they then become overvalued because people would be factoring that in? Uh?

I mean the stock market that's pretty stable. It does what it always does, right, And if you're following people like Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of.

But you understand what I'm their money on it. You understand what I'm saying don't you.

Oh, I get what you're saying about how it gets overvalued when all these people put all their money in it. And yeah, but that's how bubbles get created. And you might make the money in the short term and the long term. If you don't get it put out quick enough, then it'll pop and you'll lose your money.

But I suspect the bubbles. I suspect the bubbles are going to be the bitcoin Bitcoin bubble. I presume that it's going to be like the the boom of the you know, the nas deck. She is when was that? When was the nas deck boom? When that will happen?

Oh?

Look, the bitcoin, Yeah, one day it might pop, for it might not. It depends on the long term policies. But I'd say bitcoin and the theory, and they're pretty stable at the moment.

I don't think you've ever called them stable. They've always gone up and down.

Even they oh there gone up and down then, especially under Trump, who and Kennedy, who's even closer to Trump now then he would have been otherwise closer to buy them. They're both quite pro cryptocurrency, and so I'd say that.

Because they've given a huge amount of bitcoin money again only because they've been I mean they're running into it because his campaign was funded by crypto, and.

So what if crypto has got influenced, then crypto will go up, right, I mean, if you've got Crypto to go up, if you've got Tesla, or go up over in America where all the big money is, right, I mean, you look at our markets there miniscule compared to American share markets and crypto markets. And so I'd say that if you're bidding on inside of trading over it, if you're bidding on that other people have more knowledge than they should, then I'd say that's pretty safe fair because they get away with it over there, and so I'm all for it.

Yeah, absolutely, come in two years. Hey, let me know how it's going for you. James Connor, welcome, Marcus, good evening.

Good evening, Marcus, A compliments of the season.

And you too, Connor. I hope it's going well for you, and I hope the next ten days is going to be exciting. What can you tell me, Hey.

An, I've got a good rikipiece of jet that beans real simple that I grew up with it, you know, like you know, you make it for you all your boys, and I'll tell you what I love it, real simple, just in a bowl baked beans, braided cheese by Famion. But it wall sets the sauce and a pepper and salt whenever you want mix it in a bowl together and then put it on voguls and grill it on the oven.

Brilliant easy.

So because you've always got an onion, and you've always.

Got and you've got an onion, you've got a meal. As we've always said, that's the best thing I ever heard on talkback. That's it. You got an onion, you got a meal.

Yep. I made that recipe when I was about sixteen, so you know, forty years ago, and because I was playing so much sport and I had to feed myself and it was just so I've just made the recipe up and I abused it ever since. And it's just so simple but really really hardy as well, because you know you've got to you've got all your protein and carbohydrate, and I was playing a lot of rugby and you know, tennis and everything, and you're just so busy, and just such a really energy rich meal, you know, for a kid when you need it, when when you're so busy playing so many sports.

Did you give it a name? Color? Just yez?

Don't leans now shift on post because look like unbelievable weed to call it.

Because I shouldn't have asked Connor. Thank you, Wow. I appreciate your honesty here on midnight. My name is Marcus. Welcome. Hi, Scott Welcome, he got you there, Scott.

Good evening, Good evening, good evening. I'm just quite curious that no one's talking about it. Last night, I went to an a CM to get some cash out in a gas station just in norm ACM and I got charge two dollars fifty for the transaction. Now, I heard that this was happening in Australia, but I didn't realize it was going to happen so fast to New Zealand. I think they're making enough money off everyone at the moment, we were obviously struggling quite a bit. I don't mind a little sort of transaction for i e. Five or ten cents or something like that. I don't think we'd worry too much about that. But did all the fifty at time? It just seems pretty ridiculous. I'm quite surprised no one's about it or is it just an Awkland thing or is it happening all around the country.

How often do you get money out of the gas station?

Well, when you think about it, obviously, if you can't go to a bank and you work, say night shift or whatever, and you know your wife needs some money out of your son or white night, you've got to get money up from somewhere. And apparently this is going to be happening around the country because the bank etears are getting shut down and a few other companies apparently are starting out their own ATMs to cover them. But they're going to be chatting everyone two dollars fifty your time.

Okay, does it? Has the bank said they're shutting down at ms?

Yeah, apparently it's something news if you read up about it. Apparently they've already shut I think they had about two and a half thousand in the country at I think about a year ago, and I think they're down to about fifteen hundred. And that's what they're doing because they're not making enough money out of people taking money out from eight ms.

Okay, what color was talking about? What color was the machine?

It was a great machine. I think it was still an MCR machine, which is national cash register. And yeah, I actually talked with the gas station attendant and he said, oh, sorry, we've got no cash, we do it for you. You've got to use a machine, but you will be chage two dollars and I worked well, surprising, Yeah, I just thought there.

Yeah, where I live in Bluff, right, there's no ATM right, so you can go to the service center and get money out there, or at the back of the supermarket there's a scode little machine that costs two dollars seventy eight or something. Oh wow, if you're desperate, you go there. So I've always been aware of that, that's been there for years. But I'm interested that you've actually experienced this because I am reading the private providers are replacing ATMs around the country. I didn't realize that was happening.

Yeah, correct, Yeah, I just figured it out today as well. Myself. I knew what was happening in Australia. One of the major banks over there. I think they were charging five dollars a transaction.

But I think I think I think it was three.

Okay, I'm just wondering, you know, where does it stop? You know, are they going to start doing automatic payments. Are they going to start chudding us for things like that? You know, I'm not too sure. Obviously it's not the banks so much involved. But if the banks starts shutting down on their machines, it's going to be pretty hard to get cash out.

But also too most people now, I mean, so many more of the transactions will be cashless, won't they?

M hm?

So you think they'll be You think there'll be this need for money machines.

All the banks these days. I mean it's both hard to even go in and put money into your bank. They'd lean having anyone at your bank. They'd lean even oh, one hundred much to get in tap with your back. Seems like we're all sort of.

Yeah, but you say getting out cash for your kids, right?

Yeah?

Yeah, why do you Why do your kids need cash?

They hit a basketball training session, so they had to pay upfront for that, so obviously late night, nine o'clock.

Okay, So it's not so have your kids got IF post cards?

No?

Okay, no, So I think that's what people do now, They give their kids IF post cards because they can play with that. But that but that's probably a cash thing for your basketball it's probably all the appearents trends for your fun, don't they?

Oh for sure, definitely, yeah, yeah, and it is. I think I might want to extra try and give him kids IF post cards because they were too young as well. I think there's an as lioment on those as well.

I don't think there is. I think you've just got to go and I think you've got to make an appointment to go on the bank for money laundering. It takes an hour. I've got a kid who's eight, and he's got an IF post card. Oh yeah, yeah, only because we've got no money in bluff because you got to go two dollars. And what I want to know, also, because this happened to me in the weekend, is the place that's got that money machine are they paying? Are they paying rent to the gas station?

That's the thing I don't know. You and Ocle here, we've obviously got different FOS machines or ams in the gas stations. And yeah, there's all types of them. I think there's three different brands at the moment.

Because also worries me that it also worries me that the oldies will be going to one of those things. I began a lot of money because of that chat. The flat fee. It should be a percentage for it's a flat fee, and now they get robbed.

That's what I'm getting at as well. Yeah, to get all pinched out and whatnot, you know one lump son Yes, yeah, anyway, I just thought it was.

Quite According to the banking expert, people were using less cash, which meant banks or less need to provide at ms and could not justify the cost. So it looks like ATMs are disappearing.

Yeah, and it's a thanks for shutting out earlier, or branches are going away faster than we could count. You know, are we all going to start getting chips on our rest and starting to have to scare those?

So that's a sensible thing to say. I'd love a chip on my wrist. Was there a bank nearby? Could have you gone to an ATM machine outside of bank? Was that possible for you?

Sure?

I was pouring now when Rainer was nine. At nine, I thought like the quick, easy way was just getting out of the gas station.

Okay, you can't play bitcoin, can you? If your kids basketball, maybe you can. It's a really good point Scott's made, and thank you for canvassing that Scott loved that. It's a lot to fifty, isn't it. I wonder how much money of those machines are making. Will they get fifty transactions a day? One hundred? But I don't know what the rents are. Someone will know soon. All working a guessie Scott Marcus, welcome, good day, has a gun. Just by the way, people, this is a different Scott. There's two Scott's in a row. I haven't the same guy twice.

Welcome Scott, hey hey, Just following on from other Scott About the banks. I think their banks are going really down hell over years. I mean, they keep shunning their branches in small towns and so forth. And I mean, for example, my dad old of these days, and he's not very ticks. He he never has, they never will be. But I mean if he goes a tried deposit money as another bank account, they won't even help him do it. They say that I know that actually do it fine, So I need to get someone myself to do it on the internet. He really struggles, even like going to buy a car or something else. He really struggles about to do it. Yeah, and it's not as full that he's not the speech.

You's older.

But I think banks are declining with their customer service.

To be honest, of course they are because there's les money and remember old his love chicks.

Definitely, But I mean even for an example, I mean on credit cards, I can understand the search from that. Well that's onpos payWave. I don't think there should be an expense on that, you know. I mean, it's not changing whose money that's paying for. It's not using the banks, may you crew? So I don't understand why I wish to pay the s charge.

Well, not nothing you can do about. It's got as numbers you can do about it, is there because you have got.

To Well, well that's the same I refuse to yway, I'll just swipe it, you know. I mean it doesn't take much just.

To do it.

But that's what you're saying.

But I mean, is there really a charger they need to charge us for using our own money? You know, either way we're using a card, we're using their cards, you see what I mean.

But the retailers don't like it. That's why they're charging for payWave.

Yeah, I don't know. I think that's so I've gone backwards with a customer service and so forth.

And I think everyone agrees with you, Scott, because he's not the money and it's so much anymore.

But are they not making record profits for the one.

Yeah, but that's why they are, because they're closing everything down and people can do it online, you know.

Yeah.

I feel for your father, Thanks Scott, Pete Marcus, welcome.

Again, Marcus.

Just regarding the the ATM machines and that I don't want to use the word that we're getting screwed over in this country full stop.

You're allowing yourself to get screwed over. Pete, Well, you go to these stupid idea machines to charge money, how boycott them?

I don't get charged. I got a TSP account and that also a ki Bank account, and I don't If you use those banks, you don't get any feeds.

Okay, so you're not going So you're not getting screwed.

Over if you go.

If you want to go and use the Australian banks, go for because that's we all know, even if Nichola Willison knows that we're getting done over by the Australian banks. So if you change your banks, go to Kiwi Bank or the TSP Bank, so we're not getting ripped off by these overseas banks and the screen at all. The people don't realize that all the banks are all closed. That makes them megaprofits. As we all know, people I have cash quite a bit. I go to hospice shops, I go to markets and what have you. I encourage people using cash as much as you can, because even the reserve banks in the other day, it's always going to be part of our legal tenor in New Zealand, and we're never going to get rid of it. Even in Finland now because it's a bit different again of course it's happened in Russia and that they aren't making it compulsory that there must be cash at all times in the country if.

You have it.

Pete, we're talking about the decline of if pass machines and a ten machines around the country. You've come in on a whole different angle, haven't you. You've kind of done topic creep and talk about they've got to keep cash and everything like that out there. But you know, we are talking about the number of machines that have disappeared.

The reason why because the banks are as you said, before you said some many people just said they're starting to charge us all these feet. The more you can use those machines, I think they might say, hey, yes, people, but the more you can use use cash for buying groceries. There's a lot of elderly people do. And then I listened to your shows quite a bit, and a lot of elderly people they know computers savvy, they have no idea to use computers. A lot of banks all it is greed market. You're gonna ad it. The banks have got greedy. It's about time you sit up to them.

We're getting you won't stand up to them, pet you're all.

Talk Well, we all have to go maybe go down to parliament or something and do something we did.

You when did you? Let's go to parliament. This is just talk back. This is just talk back bravado. That's true, though, is what You won't do anything, You won't stand up to anything. You just talk about it.

More people talked about it. A lot of people don't. We like sheeping New Zealand. We just roll over and put up with.

But I don't know what the way is because I've probably got four hundred texts from people that have said, they've got their machines been taken away. They charging them two dollars fifty is.

Everywhere, So that's what maybe getting screwed over again. So about the time the government stepped in and say this is enough. The government has to do something as well, because right now as the banks is.

Just I just do you think do you think the current government showing leadership?

Some ways they are some ways out.

And which ways are they showing leadership?

Oh?

When was the last time? When was the last time you saw Luxon acting like a leader?

I think he's not too bad.

When did you see it? When was the last time you saw him acting like a leader? Bow screening?

Say that again?

Talk about bow screening. When he promises lower to the forty five's did you see him today talking about that? It's not gonna happen this too.

Yeah, In some ways he's sort of a yeah. Some ways it's a bit of full of air, and he doesn't sort of it what's the word for it. He doesn't sort of follow on through a lot of things. So it's very cunning how he goes about doing things. He uses off side as to do his dirty work for him.

Brilliant. Thanks Pete, it's not a cross stuff. Terry Marcus welcome.

Yes, good evening. I'd like to tell the public that the traveling public over in Europe a very nice, handy little hint. Using the ATMs over there, you often get a screen full of gobbly book come up, which can basically in your if you've chosen English, it will tell you do you accept the charges of between thirteen and fifteen even eighteen euros to get your two or three hundred euros out?

And I the.

First time I was over there, it sounds like I'm a jet, said, I am certainly not. But something drew me over there in Spain, and I said, and I found out something. And so it comes up yes or no, and you think, oh, well, if I press no, I'm not going to get my money. Press no and the screen will go away. Then it will come up again and the same thing ask you a second time, Press no again, and then the machine starts the fire up. After a little pause, you get your money out, and you charge the normal interest rate of about three to eight euros. And they want your confirmation that they're charging you so much through a second person that they need you to press yes. I will pay that or they're in the poop. And so if you keep pressing no twice then everything comes right. You get your money, and it is that easy. So don't be afraid. If you see that screen overseas that come up, just press note and let it come up. Press it again and everything comes right.

Although that's what we talk about, we talk about the local money machines that women chat which seems to be a lot of topic crip going on, so people have got something to say about this particular topic. I would like to hear from your twenty five past ten Sharky Marcus.

Welcome, do you hat mate?

The whole thing is as a set up by the one thing government tat is cash because you cannot track cash. You know, you don't know what people are going to use cash for or really take from, you know, the ten heads to hand government take that. What I've seen is the banking system, the co and the the money machines get there disappearing, and now you've got some company wanting to take on being the money machines and.

That card and that.

Machine, or you do a transaction with the next mosque or anything like that, they've got you on the system. Where you were exactly at that how much you've seen uhh what whereas with cash they don't know that.

Okay, shirky, you're seeing a conspiracy. But what's basically happening is people using ATM machines a lot less, so banks are getting rid of them. They pay a huge rent for them to go into malls and stuff like that, so they've got rid of them or started charging people for them. That's all that's happened.

Yeah, but you friend of about it. What when those windows machines are all gone, it's cash gone. You you won't go to go to the money machine get the cash out because there won't be no money machine to get the bo it's. And yeah, I know you're going on about a conspiracy theory market.

But no, you know you're going about the conspiracy theory. You said, Oh, they're trying to get rid of This is the banks. Banks are making commercial decision. They reckon red for f POSS machines could be one hundred thousand dollars per machine in a mall, so they're paying that and they're hard to get.

But in the bigger picture, it's the creep of total fury.

Inness well with private banking with private banking companies.

You see, you'd be quite happy to have a chip in your hands or a arm whatever. That's the thing that's leading us down the streets. Like we could go and stand up against the bank.

But you know what, you're right, hang hang hang on, hang on, sharky. They put out in the f post card that you can wear around your wrist. That's a good idea. You're not going to lose it. I don't have a them or that. Do you know what totalitarianism is?

Oh? Yeah, it's a central control system that controls everyone.

It's government, it's centralized government. We're talking about private banks, Australian banks. That's not totalitarianism, that's capitalism. They're trying to maximize their profits for their shareholders.

But don't you think that when capitalism comes rules as leadership and rule ruling, you know, for people in charge who rules. It's a system that's designed to eventually do away with cash. And then we're yeah, you know, you know, I'm getting too old to really be able to do anything about it, because what am I going to do? Maybe another twenty years of life. And I think in that twenty years, every single change, because you just only need to look at the last twenty years how far.

But shaky wise, every getting into bitcoin. Why is everyone using online banking because it's so much easier, it's so much more convenient. People do it because it's convenient.

Bit Coin fingers breed Okay, they want to make money, Okay, so they gain credit. You know, that makes your credit worth more than your credit because you don't have bitcoins. So that's what that's about. But at the end of the day, whatever's their summer is compete to yourself. It's still controlled by someone higher up the chain.

Yeah, I think I think we have a really good discussion about ATMs charging for money and how people get around it. But as soon as we start saying it's the government trying to ban cash and stuff, you've got to look at the evidence. You can't just throw everything at this one. This is a really deare problem. But the texts I've got people are really concerned about this. But we've got to discuss the problem, not try and chuck all sorts of words at it. Just got an email for the ben Zaid. They said they're providing an ATM for at one of our local malls are crossing a great service in a safe environment for drawing out cash, Chairs, Heather, will it be free? Banks make big dollars, Yes they do, Marcus. This is an outrage. We should never be charged to take money out from an ATM. Refuse to use these ATMs. You have that, you have that choice. Banks are getting greedy, long waits on calls and nothing resolved most of the time. Too many hont chows up top with their noses in the trough. Yeah, but their private companies, they can do what they want. Marcus, Great topic, banks, I over to it. Great topic, banks. I think we shall go back to cash only. I've just started cash cash. I live in Renwick, Marlboro. Our local soup bag is an ATM installed in charges two fifty per transaction. Nearest banks are on blend him twenty minutes away, Chairs, John at Eastgate. More than they took away two bank machines and put in a machine that charges three twenty to take money out. Marcus. I went to my local shopping center a couple of months ago, and two out of three machines want to charge me two dollars fifty. They're previously free, Marcus. They used to be in all them alls paying about one hundred one hundred k per animum rent. But now they've all been removed unless it's collected to a bank branch. Marcus. I went to New World mart and Martin today and I was charged two fifty for taking out one hundred bucks. First time ever, and I've used it frequently. The machine is in the fur of the New World. I live in a village and offer read cash for activities. They're loving your show. It should be a percentage charge would be fairer, Marcus. When banks were stopped from charging for non customers use of their ATMs, there was a race by banks to pull out to safe paying rent. Now they've been replaced by non bank ATMs that charged two fifty to withdraw money. There are ATMs that used to be charge be taken over by a company that charges the fee. Best to use your own banks eight m. You don't normally know, but I guess the best thing is you always get a warning. Good evening, Jeff, it's Marcus, welcome, Hello, Hi Jeff.

Yeah no, I just wring a put few of you straight on on these ATMs and service stations, and in hotels as well. In tevens. These people have to hold a larger amount of cash and they have to fill those the private ATMs worth kesh, And that's the two point fifty is just to charge they charge for the service they provide.

I think everyone realizes that. But they used to the banks just to have a lot more ATM machines that were a lot more accessible, okay, and they've shut down the number the numbers they've shut down are kind of drastic.

Right well, where where where I look out in Rolston, there's three big ATMs that you can go to that doesn't cost you anything as well as you're going to your own one.

I think the figure the figures say in twenty eleven there were two four eighty nine bank owned ATMs that dropped to fourteen forty in the last year. And while most banks no longer charge of fee for a drawing cash at another bank's EIGHTM, the privately run machines often change about two fifty or two eighty per transaction. There must have been some legislation that stops banks been able to charge for withdrawing cash and other banks atm. I don't know too much about that, but someone might have some information. Oh yes, the guy from the reserve banks said, The move by be Thanks to stop charging the fee to other bank customers has led to reduction in ATM numbers. I kind of means they would have come up with that themselves. Die Marcus, welcome, Oh hello.

Marcus, let's die.

Look.

I can understand there will be a lot of people who still use a bit of cash and they get upset that. You know, it makes it harder for them if there's no if poff or ATMs or they're cutting them back. But you know, one thing that we can just take heart with is you know when we get our groceries. I mean, no one likes to be charged in an ATM machine for a transaction. I think that's really a bit off. But you know, it's life. Whatever they do, we don't have much control over. But you know, something to bear in mind, especially for oldies or people who you know, feel a bit worried about it. We can still get out cash when we get out our groceries.

Yeah, they charge for that or is there a limit?

Sometimes No, I haven't seen. I'll often get either fifty or one hundred or whatever, a couple of hundred, but okay, you know, so it's just in case, like you want to like a board an onion for dollar fifty the other day, and you know, sort of it's just to have a little bit of cash or something if you really need to have cash on hand, yep, for some reason.

And i'd like to talk more about it. That's still happening if people, if any supermarkets are charging for because I presume supermarkets are quite happy to get rid of the cash.

Yeah.

The supermarket's been fine, you know, and I've never seen any charge on it. And it's just simple, you know. So in terms of security for oldies, there's someone there, there's an assistant there if they have trouble or whatever. If it doesn't work, you know, they've got help on hand. So it's just a small glimmer of hope.

Thank you, that's what we're looking for. Helen. Hello, it's Marcus.

Welcome.

Yes, Yes, good evening. I just wanted to pick up on something what you've said about people ringing talkback and enough not to actually doing anything and everything everybody just rolling over and accepting, accepting all these things happening. I hadn't been in this country very long before Roger Douglas started all that. I was just completely amazed how just kind of people just rolled over and accepted it.

Well, there's not much. There's not much you can do about banks charging for ATMs. I mean, you can change banks, but I don't know, I don't know what not. Everyone's got TSB Bank. Yeah.

Well, I've approached Gray Power to be a bit more proactive about what's happening with the banks, and nobody seems to be interested in doing anything anymore. Like you've got all these disability organizations and they're all so splintered, and they just just don't do anything, you know, like you've got like they've just closed down. Practically every week we hear about another just closing down. And nobody from these organizations except about one, I think the rare diseases or Peter Peter Reynolds or something standing up. Everybody's silenced. I've tried to kind of motivate.

Helen bit of topic creep going on here. Have you noticed what's going on with the ATM machines. Has that affected you?

Yes?

Yes, no, I noticed that's happening. But like just just for instance, like to d of, they've got rid of writing for the disabled and star jam and those that's unforgivable. I mean yeah. I mean, it's just a whole lot of stuff happening.

You know.

Well, we're in a session, are we in a recession? I thought Winston Peters this has been a good thing for him to take on about the ATM charges because it will affect a lot of people, because two fifty is not an insignificant amount of money, particularly getting out ten dollars. That's twenty five percent cauld You get out ten dollars or twenty dollars is probably the minimum, now, is it. I would really go to an ATM machine. It was only because we had the bluff Christmas fear, and I thought I wanted to spend some money on the quick draw, but I couldn't be bothered. I gave the kids some money for food, but all the food was free there anyway, So it's kind of Tally's big gesture for the year, free ice team, free chips. So the kids didn't want any money, and I ended up playing a video game when you've got to kick a goat. It wasn't pleasant neither. What was that one called that was weird? Anyway? Topic that one from Scott about the a charging for ATMs, because I just thought it was at that Scolu little machine we have in our four score, which I hate. Bluff needs an ATM. We've got tourists, We've got all sorts of stuff, but the banks won't put it there.

I guess.

I don't think there's one in the post office. Is a Kiwi bank thing down? I think they give you money if you ask for it over the Never quite sure what goes on there, John, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Yeah, how are you good?

John?

Thank you Marcus.

I don't use cards. I don't pay online. I always use cash and I get cash out. I might get three hundred dollars out four hundred whatever my budget is, because I know that if the money's in my waters in cash, as soon as that money's gone, that's it. That's all the money I've got for that budget. It's very hard to control or check or track how much money I'm spending if I'm using a card.

Sure, how do you get your three hundred dollars? What did you say three hundred dollars or is it the amount you said?

Yeah? I just go to my bank's ATM, take out three hundred dollars, break it down and break it down into smaller denominations, So.

You have got a gu See you don't have cards, but you have got a card.

F I'll get an ATM card, but I don't pay things through the card or through an f pods machine.

So just get your cash. And then doesn't it drive your man? How much shrapnel you're in that worth?

No, I might get twenty or thirty dollars of coins. The rest is in load denominations or whatever. I cash stuff, though, have you head of that? I can. I'll I'll have a folder and envelopes, and I just put money in on a regular basis for different things, and it just builds up. So it's a form of compulsory savings for whatever I want to do.

But you're not getting interest on it?

Not getting interested? I mean, what's sort of interest you're going to get on three hundred dollars anyway?

Well more how much of your caching stuff?

Oh?

I might have four or five different envelopes. One might be for car expenses, one might be for power bill, one might be for insurances, one might be for something else. I just stick twenty bucks a week into each of each of those envelopes, and when they talk, when that jew I've got the money there.

Okay, sounds like a complicated way for me to do it. But because surely if you said nef postcard, you wouldn't spend any more money than your head because it wouldn't allow you to do it.

Well. I find that if I overspend by using the cattle time, then I may spend too much and my automatic payments may not come out, or most direct gifts come out.

Could they be ring fence at a different account, maybe, but that would be administration probably that would cost you more to do that.

Yeah.

I just work on a budget, a strict budget, and I just take out what I need for the week. Once that money's gone, that's gone for the week, and then I have to wait for the following week.

Or whatever works for you makes sense to me. John, nice to hear from you. We're just heading the news up here on midnight. Jim stand along after twelve. No, it's not Friday. He's filling in on it. Well, he's in on a Thursday, filling in. Would you call that they've moved him forward. They've moved him forward. I guess that's what you're supposed to say. Get in touch. It's all about the ATM it's very interesting topic. You've been topic rich this week, haven't we. I work at Countdown. We have two self service checkouts where you can pay by card or cash. They also give cash out at no extra charge. I was always telling the early customers to come and get the cash out from us if they didn't like standing an atm. You don't have to buy anything to get the cash out. I've got a thought. Because we've got ATMs, we've got automatic cash out at our Yeah, that's what I should be doing next time. Because at our four square we've got self checkout, so that's really be bitter get the cash out from there rather than paying two fifty at the machine at the back of the four square. But they don't need to buy something. Oh we always need to buy something that's going to be a much too that. I'm glad we've had this discussion. This has been very worthwhile for me. Marcus withdrew cash from the self service war with Gisbon today no charge. Withdrew one hundred dollars two dollar dates. Unable to get that change into anything smaller next time, might withdraw two lots of forty five to get smaller change. Great idea Marcus, supermarket should not charge for withdrawing cash from the self served check out because the less cash they have to back, the less the cash had fears. So you are in fact doing them a favor by taking the cash and reducing the bank charges. There you go, because the old days, if you asked for cash over, oh you're gonna get some cash, but had to sign a thing that was a bit of a pilava or it. I'm into this, good evening, Sue, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Oh hello, Marcus. Just talking about the demise of ATMs and just cash in general. We're fortunate we are in a rural town, but we do have our bank still has ATMs. And when I've been in Australia this year, I was able to tap and go, but I had to be careful, but I would get out of certain amounts for the week and I just had cash to avoid charges because I had to be over there. But the bigger conversation for me is, with all those changes and so much going on line and tap and go, what does that doing for us educating our children on the value of the dollar and the concept of money. And one of the things that we used to do as parents with our children is you've probably heard the concept before the three little jars self, savings and others, And so we'd give them coins, give them three coins each week, and that would lead to conversations about, oh, there's a lot in self, but what were you know, what are you thinking about savings? You know, is there something that you want to save for? And the other one when we do others that's charitable things. So they go and get their coins out and we would go to the supermarket, you know when you donate to food banks and things. We would go to the supermarket. The children would have their coins, their money from that jar to choose the can or the thing that they wanted for food banks. So it's a bigger you know, like the cash. Actually you can have a bigger conversation with the kids and they really grasp the concept of money and the value of verse and they've always had their own money. And that's sort of thing I think when we tap and go and we just do this easy sort of zip that you know, we lose we're losing something in teaching, teaching it for the the for children and in our young adults and how they handle money.

Although yeah, I guess that you're saying, what's doing with teaching kids the content concept of money? I guess the content of money is really changed. It's not something tangible anymore. It's just something that it is, so yeah, something that's represented electronically.

They're growing up in a digital age and so it is hard. Yeah, so how do you navigate that? I mean, our children are adults and now young adults now, and they're quite good with money, and they understand and they they always understood that, well, having money gives them choices. Having money, their own money when they go out with their friends, avoided any pressure or you know, some of those a little pitfall.

Maybe. Another school of thought is that if you actually get them into electronic money straight away, then you're actually teaching them about electronic money and how it all works these days.

Yeah, I did.

It's a bit beyond me. I'm in the fifties now, I think, Hell, hell would I do that?

Well, you just get you just get a kid and if possible, shit and if post coat I suppose, and that's where their money goes and then they can look at the balance and they can check it out in the air.

Well, they're educating me about shares and different ways of investing, so it's slipped. So I guess you know there's that side as well, But no, I just I was just thinking. I was thinking, Oh that all these demise of ATMs or those conversations, and everyone says, oh, you've got to get with the times. I think, how do you how do you teach your kids the concept the bigger concept of money and the value and where it goes and what you're doing with it.

So yeah, that was just what I was, sir.

Nice to hear from you, Suth, Thank you for that. Fourteen past eleven. Pay for the convenience to get your own money out of exclamation mark exclamation a right exclamation appe. If you are paying from mortgage, the bank always asks why are you getting the cash out of ATM? If you do with the super market self service, it just looks like a grocery payment. Aha, there you go. Welcome people. Fourteen past eleven, Marcus till twelve oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to nine to Texas. Be hearing from there. Something else you want to talk about or about these things? Would love to get your input tonight. So has it become a real I mean, we're hearing tonight a lot more about it, about the fact that you've got to pay now to get your money. How is that affecting people? I'd like to hear more about that. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty because it's two fifteen hours too eighty eight. They can always put it up also, and now, of course, ke it's going to be partially privatized. They're going to sell five hundred million dollar share of that bank. They're saying it's not an air set sale, but it will be privately owned. But the support because that could compete better with the Aussie banks. I guess Hi, Marcus wanted to give my take on why basketball will soon be the most played sport in New Zealand. I'm all about American sports for most part. The big headline the other day was the signing of Juan Sato from the Yankees to cross Rval Crosstown Rather the Mets fifteen year contract seven hundred and sixty five million dollars with no salary cap, and Major League Baseball in the NBA have to wonder how long this gonna be sustainable. It's been widely predicted that the highest paid NBA players will soon be uning one million per regular season game, which is unheard of. It's no surprise ready that basketball is so popular using specially it's American collegiate players for both men and women, can now earn via the NIL concept, name, image and likeness. Steven Adams, now with the Houston Rockets, played only one season of college ball and got drafted the Association. He's proven the path the riches is attainable with hard work and focus. Today he's made over US one seventy million news in a two nine to three million in his playing career, not including endorsement money. If I had young children, I'd be encouraging and giving them the opportunity to train up in basketball, baseball or even American footballers throughout our pathways for international athletes to cash. And it's mind blowing how much money is out there, particularly American sports with TV rights and more recently legalized gambling and driving the market exponentially, exponentially right from a financial perspective of our original KIV sports just can't compete in terms of earning a professional athlete. Just today, many were outraged that Saudi were awarded the twenty thirty four feet for World Cup despite their poor human whites record. End of the day, Marcus, everyone has their price. The guy's emailing from Melbourne, not looking forward to work on Monday. Forecast Melbourne forty plus.

Yeah.

I think people also mainly were concerned about how many people were going to die for the building of the cities where that football stadium is going to be. Just like in Qatar, Ortho, I think people quite like the World Cup there, although it seemed pretty lack clusters. He didn't really get the You didn't really get the sense that the country was behind it, did you. But they all took their money and they went over there and they said how great it all was. Yeah, Terry, Hello, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Yeah him.

I saw on news earlier or even he's seen about Saudi Arabia being given the hosting right, and you know how the human rights groups are up in arms and and and they would have happened the same with Qatar and when they got the hosting rights. But there's there's nothing much that can be done. I mean, Gianni and Santina, he's you know, he's at the top guy, and he wants Asia and all that to be in Asian countries. Like South Korea and all that, and Japan have hosted and and that's good, but he's I know, the human rights records, aren't you know, are a topic that people always talk about when this happens. But I don't think there's much that can be done. It is all about, you know, money and when Sadi Arabia builds their stadium, so I'll get most of their workers from Africa. And I'm not sure how many Africans died in the building of the stadiums and guitar, but it was doumentary.

I thought most of those workers came from Pakistan and Asia.

Yeah, I okay, Well, if a documentary came out he called the Worker's Cup, which I didn't see, so but I thought that a lot of them did come from Africa. But I'll have to care. I don't know all the details. But yeah, there was a documentary, but there's nothing. It's all big business and who's in power, and the players just want to play. I don't think they really getting I mean, Beckham was staff when the World Cup and guitar. He said, the great thing about having that in guitar was that you could go to three games in one day. You know, because it's such a small place. And and you know.

I think though the places, places with questionable regimes love to have warm, fuzzy sport experiences because it gives the country a good vibe. It sport washing, that's what they call it, because they go and get these events and feeling, oh, it can't be such a bad place to look at that great football World Cup we watched.

Yeah, I think I don't think people are naive. I think they think it's a great place if people who go there have got lots of money, whether they're from the free you know, from the Western Nations or other Asian nations or wherever. But I don't they think, well, what can they do? You get involved politically then sort of get you get so you could get into trouble. I mean, people are most mostly self protective, So I think, you know, it's just go to the game, spend their money and then go home.

Yeah, but you've still got to You've still got to publicize the human rights record in Saudi Arabia, don't you you know? I think we're on Is it just that woman drive, haven't they?

Yes, Well, it's change comes. If change comes to a country, it comes from within. You know, that's basically how our country will we change.

You're got to be a bit careful about it because look at the Arab Spring that happened in Syria where they had changed. There were protests and then there was fifteen years of fifteen years of Assad's regime torturing and killing people. So they're very brave Syria REGI tried to change that regime.

Yeah, and they have now and he's gone to Moscow.

But now that will just go to civil war like Libya, and there'll be revenge and there'll be a million you know, there won't be peace and Syria anytime soon, that is, Syria will become a will come up, will be hopeless for.

Years, I know.

And now actually there's a lot of the groups that have taken over want to and want to get Jerusalem.

So you can't just say only the way that regime change can come from within. There's also got to be international criticism and condemnation from people, you know, to do with capital punishment, to do with yeah, I mean, you know there's a pity nasty stuff going on there.

Yeah, Well we don't worry. Tramp will sort them all out. So you know, you'll make sure that it won't affect the or it won't affect America or the West. All the bad guys will get you know, they're come up and so to speak. You know there were no wars and Trump was in between twenty and sixteen.

Okay, thanks Dery twenty six pass. What's the thing to say? Eighty Tenadian nine nine to text if you want to come through Marcus. I live in a small town and we don't have any banks. We have three eighty machines, but no charge for cash out. I wonder why that works, Treush, what is that small town?

Mark?

Is a few years bank? I spend a lot of time in Twyzel for work. Twyzel only had an eighty and a NDD eightm I bank with whist Pac and was charged at two point fifty disloyalty fee using the twyzal eightym. The other job option was to drive an hour to Feeley's wist pack. So we're talking about ATMs and the fact that more and more how of them are charging? I think the number of ATMs is just about halved. This is not good, and so the other ones are taking up the slack at your gas stations and your mauls and stuff. They are a little squad orange ones I think. But they're charging twot fifty a go. That's not good because you're paying to get access to your own money, which when it's in the bank, the banks are lending out for a higher rate than they're charging you for interest. Yet they charge you, well, they actually charge you to get it. There's private companies that actually provide that service, so they're probably not getting the banks, probably aren't getting any money for that. But there's just fewer machines than they used to be because obviously less and less people using f pods because so much of the transactions are now gone electronic. Good evening, Denise, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Oh hello Marcus. Actually, it's really strange to bring up about the ATM machines because just in the last fortnight I've suddenly become aware, you know, that there is a scarcity of them.

Well, I think it seems to have. I think a lot of them machines seem to have started charging just within the last couple of weeks, so I guess, yeah, it seems.

To be happening.

Yeah, and there's a lot of them have taken a lot of the major banks have removed their ATM machines, but I think there could be a problem because what's the banks They used to sort of have them in their head officers, some of them be monitoring their own ATM machines throughout the country, and if they were running out, you know, I think they put about used to about twenty five thousand and each machine at a time, there would be a security firm that they would notify that would go on, you know, whatever, I say, look such and such a machine, and they would then go and fill them up.

You know.

It was sort of seem to be a very twenty four hour service almost. But the other day I sort of went out and it was one of the private ATM machines out at the Surfer Market more where I usually shop, and I didn't have any cash, and I normally draw out three or four hundred dollars cash in habit, but I do use my card at the Surfer Market, and I thought, oh, that Jolie is saying I needed some money and it was empty out of order. I thought, no, you know, and I think that's I thought to myself, Gosh, this was going to be a bit of a problem, you know, when people get busy over Christmas, they want to be sort of aware that a lot of these machines are sort of running out and not being topped up, you know, as they were possibly before was the security guys Evans would come around. But and I don't use payWave apart from at the supermarket. I'll use it, but if I'm am going to use my cartin it's a smaller business, you've got to be careful, you know, You've got to be aware that you are paying a fee every time you use payWave at a small firm and some of them have actually got no payWave on their at M.

So you know, have you worked in denise, have you worked in banking? Because you know, yeah, okay, so ATMs and have twenty five thousand dollars in them, and well it was then, yeah, I probably probably double that now. And when someone's an ATM machine, is there someone monitoring that on a video screen that can look at people and what they're doing there?

I don't know about I think well, I think they do film, yes there, but I don't think there's anyone monitoring.

Okay, But it was just that. But the point that it wants to be the point I want to clarify, Denise, is when you've got security cards topping up money and stuff, they must be a cost to run. They must be a high cost to run. Certainly, Yes, the banks want to get rid of as many as they can, but I know, because they're providing a service, but they're making no money out of them at all.

No, they they used to sort of be a feed early on with them. But was there well, I don't know, well for some a council maybe there wasn't. But I mean they had become free. But some of the private ones, saying clubs i've for some time, you know, you knew you've paid two dollars to use them. But the ones that they've got that are private, the owner, they don't seem to have a charge to use them.

The ones that are oh you know, no, yeah, but yeah, I think the good thing is well, if it is a good thing. If the ones that do charge you, it seems as though because of lead legislation, they are forced to tell you that they are charging you. M M.

I think I think probably people want to be where that it gets busy for the holiday period. You know, there could be a bit of a squeeze on cash if you're not careful, I mean, you know, yeah, just a thought.

I would thought they have. I would thought they'd have. Are you Are you an earthquake person? No, okay, I know that people have been through the quake to are always worried about ATMs running out and not working. Well.

I do keep that in mind, but I do have a fear of a cash of society would worry me and that's why I try and use cash, you know, for most of my transactions, you know, the casual ones at cafes and sevens. I mean, it does annoy me when you're in a hurry and you get about six people in front of you and they're buying one coffee and they're all usually their damn cards five or six dollars please past.

It should be quicker with payWave where they just do it on their phone, because.

I don't want to have to pay the payWave feed.

Oh I see what, I see what you're saying. Yeah, okay, I understand, Denise. Think you're twenty five to twelve all about the f to pose. I think switching from KEF. I think switching from KESH to f po's a scary front of people because as they don't use a computer a smartphone. They don't see their transactions online. It's all mysterious and invisible. Perhaps if they've got a paper transaction list regularly, it would be less intimidating. Did you hear Shaer and Dick Van Dyke were evacuated Malibu? I have heard a bit about that. I hope Dick Van Dyke's all right at ninety nine, so big fire is obviously in Malibu. Dick Van Dyke, I just google if there's any late breaking news about him on the news ninety eight. On the other he's ninety ninety ninety eight birthday must be soon. I think his house is burnt down three day shy of his ninety ninth birthday. It's tomorrow. That's an early story that their house burnt down. I hope Chris Martin wasn't there because he filmed the video with him. I might have survived, but the neighbors were destroyed property, not the neighbors themselves destroyed.
