I'd be.
Wednesday greetings. Welcome strange old day because track and field rears its head again track and Field at Mount Smart. How good's that? So what's going to happen in about ten minutes eight minutes is the this youngo Sam Ruth is going to attempt to be the youngest person ever to go under four minute mile. Well, that's exciting because the formanut mile is something that looms large in New Zealand and New Zealand track and Field. So that will happen about fifteen past eight. That's on YouTube. If you want to go and watch that, I will tell you the results. Well wait around for that. I won't commentate it because I don't know all the athletes, and there is some commentary online, but I don't I've just listened to the company of the women's race, and I don't think probably it's a sort of commentary that we should broadcast. It just souns a little bit. But look, I will give you the updates on that. So this is at Mount Smart. Well, when I say it it's Mount Smart, it's obviously not at the place where the Warriors play. There's the side field with the track is. I haven't seen this. It's been a I think the weather has not been great in Auckland, say it has been winning and wet, but the weather conditions look really really good and they're expecting if well, they're not saying there's anything about the weather conditions that will affect the time for this record attempt. I don't know what the field's like. I think we heard there in the news at Sam Tana, who's a particularly quick sort of a unit. He will be running also to pace them to try and get this fifteen year old around in less than four minutes. So that will happen sometime today in about six or seven minutes. So I will kind of do talk back and for those four minutes or whatever, I will try and commentate that for you and let you know what's going on. Should we break four minutes, we have a reporter out there. We will talk to Wilso because I mean that's historical, because it's such a huge event, the four minute mile, So we will talk to you will I will talk to you about that in the next couple of minutes. It's going to happen about fifteen past eight. So yeah, this is the he's fifteen from Todonger and he's going to attempt to be the youngest person ever to go sub for.
Now.
I don't know how many key Wes have gone sub for. I think it's about one hundred. Of course, John Walker went the first person to go sub three fifteen seventy five. But anyway, yeah, it's a big deal. I think John Walker was the first to go sub for. Actually, by the way too, so someone else will know about that. But yeah, so we will get to what not ninety fifty four Roger Banister first went there, although he wasn't fifteen, But yeah, so I'm going to give you the details and the coverage for that when that happens, and then we'll cut into the show at hand. So if you want a text of it's something to say in the meantime, I will just pad until then. If you've got anything interesting on any breaking news in US, know what is happening. I've got some topics for tonight, so you're not going to I wondering what we are going to talk about. I've spent a little bit of time online today talking looking about JFK in the files released. It's very hard at this stage to get any clear sense about what the gotcha is. If you've got a social media like Twitter, a lot of people are a lot of confirmation bias there, people just posting things that they think are true. Yeah, so I think it's going to be a while before the real JFK assassination obsessives have their say on what to expect and what the new information means. So I spent summer today reading about Jack Ruby, Jack Rubinstone, the guy that Shorty hav goes. Well, that's kind of an interesting story also. But anyway, I will bring you the details and the breaking news for this guy running sub for that'll happen about three minutes. If you want to talk just quickly before that, or you've got a quick text, get that through now, be good to hear from you. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine text, and then we'll cut into the show. I actually thought the race was going to start at eight o'clock. They had the women's race. I think they're going for a record. I think at time was aout four four four. There was one of the women had an nasty fall. She got tripped and she seemed windu herself. But we will bring you the full details of this race when this happens. But they say the conditions it mounts but are very good. The rain stopped, the wind stopped at perfect conditions for a record, So a lot of pressure on the guy, the fifteen year old. I think both his parents are athletes, and they have said that he trains minimally, and by that they're not saying he trains not much because he's not into it, but they've realized that probably to do huge miles at a young age could be detrimental. So it seems to be very sensible sort of a unit. But this is the fifteen year old. He's going to run and try and break the record, to be the youngest of a person to run under foremanut. I think they're coming up to the track now. It seemed to be a very young field. Where they're going to start here, I'm not quite sure, but I will bring those details for you as that happens, and if you do want to talk in the meantime, feel free to come through. Eight hundred and eighty today eighty slightly tricky for me to try and juggle two or three things so maybe some exciting texts I can read between the bulletins could be a good thing. Dan, could you to me one thing, you just bring the text up on the screen next to this so I can actually have the text. Says, well, it looks to me like they might be starting this race early for those who just joined. This as the attempt for the New Zealand of the fifteen year old to go sub four minutes. I think the last time he raced, No, the last time he raced it was a dead heat with Sam Tet. I think the time before he raised his father was in the race, which was kind of remarkable. Yep, I can do that now. There, it's all there. I can see that now. So I will bring you the details of this race that it happens. I'll bring you the lap times as well, because why not start with hopefully a record being broken, and of course it wouldn't be the would it be a world record? The youngest person ever year? I guess it is a world record, isn't it if you got texts seeing those through nine to nine two to text. So I don't know. Oh, by the way, I haven't decided today it's going to be JFK talk. So yeah, because what they have done is they've put some eighty thousand pages of documents released today. They have put some of those into like AI and chet GPT to find out the findings, and that's kind of come up with quite mixed results, I think in the next day, although I mean what most people are saying that Trump has released all of this to be a diversion for what's going on in the country, which probably there is some relevance to that. Anyway, if you've just joined in, welcoming, good evening, my name's Marcushador twelve o'clock. I will cut into the talk back before too long. I just thought beforehand it's important to bring you the details for this race fairly big Field one, two, three, four, four, six, seven, eight, nineteen eleven, twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen sixteen. I think people lining up for this race. This is the fifteen year old from Todonger attempted to be the younger person, youngest person ever to go under. How old is he? Dan? Has he got much time left?
Yeah?
I know, but when'sday six? But how many more goes. Has he got Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. Sam Tana, Sam Ruth, James McLay, Benjamin Wall, George Wiley, Joe Martin, Daniel Hayes, Hamish Murray, James Reedal. He's an older guy, he's thirty. There's a few how far away, so it's less than a month from turning sixteen. So this is the fifteen year old attempting to be the youngest person to go sub for now, they're just about to go. Sam Tanner's got the inside lane. I think he's going to be the guy trying and set the pace they're off to. So I will bring you the lap times. I'm not quite sure what a good lap time will be for the first lap. You might have some information about that, so wet track. It's on the rubber track obviously at Mount Smart. But you're bringing these details because it's to be exciting if a world record is on broken on this show. We have got a reporter there. So what we will do is we'll have the race and then we'll take the commercial break and if there is a record there, will go in to reporter to get some information about that. Sue Murray Helberg ran sub formats. Thank you for that. Keep those texts coming. This is not about the race at Mount Smart, but someone said they saw Eloh at Mount Smart Stadium in the seventies. Goodness. Of course. This is not at the field where they do have the worries. It's out the back the side field. I think this is the training field. Just coming down the straight for the first lap. Sam Tana is in second position. He's the pacemaker to speak. I think just at the ball now fifty five seconds I think for the first lap, which seems pretty quick. That's a hell of a pace and field spread out over about it's quite a tight field considering how big it is. It spread out of about thirty meters. Yes, so for those who have just joined, it just seems as though there's going to be the two races that Mount Samartine. I'm not quite sure why the event was put together as far as track and field goes. For those who remember the heyday, very few people there. Mind you, it is a wet Wednesday, so I'm not surprised. But yeah, I only found out about this afternoon that it was a happening thing. I got myself very excited about that. So they're coming round down to head down the back straight for the second lap. All the runners look fairly comfortable. The field still split into two, well has split into two now. The first groups about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine coming down for the ball. Still a good time. They're not putting the lap times up. It's one fifty five. The pacemaker's jumped out now, so Sam Tanner is leading. I think I'm pretty sure this guy Ruth, he's the guy in the orange Sewart T shirt. Dan is that road. I'm pretty sure he's in six position. Now I'll conft number two. I'll confirm that. I don't think they've got numbers on them Dan, But oh, I see, so he's number two. Okay, so Tanna has one. Sam Ruth's number two, looking fantastic. They're coming around for the third lap at two minutes twenty. So yeah, Sam Tanner's the fastest miler. He's the guy that went to the last Olympics. And Ruth is behind him pace for pace, and we've got about a lap and a half left, I think. So yeah, this is at Mount Smart for those who just joined us, as is Sam Ruth from Tolong is attempting to be the youngest person ever to go under four minutes. He's got a month left until he turned sixteen, and he's fifteen at the moment. So here they are coming down sort of almost neck and Sam Tana leading with Sam Ruth just on his shoulder to fifty six. So it looks to me well that this could all be on.
Now.
Sam Tanor is about a meter ahead. But Sam Ruth is certainly looking very fresh and very not tiring at all. There's a sort of a spring in the step, and you can looks like he's certainly got a lot more speed to go. It looks like he's holding some in reserve. So they're now coming around the bend for the home straight three point thirty six further about one hundred and fifty meters left, crowded, all on their phones filming it. They're not making much noise, but coming down now he's in the lead. I think Sam Tanner might be ahead of him, but I think they might well do this. This is an extraordinary event. So down they come, three fifty one, three fifty three. He's done it as he'd be. Sports report of Elijah far Few is that mount smart Elijah. Greetings and welcome he made it look easy.
Eh, oh he did. He didn't even break a sweat out there, Marcus. I mean to give you an idea, like he broke the line and pretty much the guy by that just finished behind his I was on his back pretty much in pain or he's pretty much tired. So I mean it was an effortless feat thereby Sam Ruth, and he made it look easy.
Did you see what the official time was?
We're just confirming now. I was standing around pretty much eyone had their stop clocks out. It seemed to stop it around three fifty eight, So he really kicked it on. And I'd say that final two hundred meters or so, because throughout the first each lap he went around, he was pretty much clock in a minute and we were pretty it was pretty nerve wracking there at the end, and I guess for the last two hundred meters or so, he kicked it in and at the moments about three fifty eight, we're we're looking at but I'll just make sure I'll confive that time just before you.
Do, Golsha, I hadn't heard about this event. Did they put this event together? Especially for the sittee? Is this how this has come about or is this something else? Can you tell me what the event actually was?
Yeah, so I guess it was a run by the Auckland City Athletics team and they put this together, this evening of mile races and the women's and the men's division. Sam Ruths is a part of that. He's had an amazing summer where he's pretty much broken records for his age group. At fifteen years of age, he broke times that was set by Yakub Ingerbriton, who was a former or is the current Olympic champion. So that's sort of the expectations that we have for a guy like Sam ruth and he's exceeded. He's exceeded pretty much all summer and he's done so again here tonight at Mount Smart to show him.
They didn't publicize it more because there weren't many there to see, but history. How many do you reckon we're there?
I'd say probably about a couple hundred or maybe a bit more. I know in the live stream there are a couple of thousand that waiting just for the life streams of the gain and I imagine war would have hopped on when Sam got to the start line. So yeah, it would have been great if we had a bigger crowd by Nonetheless, those who were there to see you very lucky to witness the speed in person.
Yeah. Thanks, so look, I'll let you go and see if you get interviewed him Elijah, But thank you so much for talking to us. I really appreciate that New Stork CBS Sports reporter at Elijah for a few there at Mount Smart Stadium for those who just joined us. Just at quarter past eight, Sam Ruth became the youngest New Zealander ever to run a mile, or the young side the youngest person in the world to go sub four minutes. I guess I could phrase that the other way and say the only fifteen year old in the world ever to go under four minutes. So probably after John Walker going sub for it's probably New Zealand's most significant sub four mile race it's ever been run. I can see the time now, three fifty eight twenty nine. Sorry, that was that was the word of that was Sam Tanner came through that. It wasn't on the page for long, but I'll bring the time up when I've got that. But that was, yeah, three fifty eight point three five for Sam Ruth so three fifty eight point three five, so did it with over a minute and a half spare I think Sam, did Sam Tanner actually win the races that the way happened? Tana Yeah, Tana one. So Tana one has obviously already gone some for he was the guy that sort of was the pacer throughout the third and fourth lap. So there we go. That said, if you want to talk about that, feel free to come through eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two to text. Oh that's an exciting way to start the evening. Actually, just wish they publicized it a bit more. They could have got thousands out there, Thane and if they knew history was going to be made like it was, I can see Sam now Sam Ruth being interviewed by a number of people out there. So yeah, doing remarkably well for fifteen year old. And of course to the last guy that Elijah talked about that's had this record, I mean he's gone on and got several Olympic gold so it all looks remarkably positive for this fifteen year old. Anyway, get in touch if you want to mention that. If you might have watched on the stream. You might be a track and field person. I know a lot of you out there are track and field obsessives. You might have watched that on YouTube and let me know what you thought of that race. But yeah, it was remarkable looking at the clock, I didn't realize that it was that close. But over a second and a half, under four minutes for the mile for that fifteen year old. Get in touch if you want to talk. My name as marcushadl Midnight. The number is oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two text. What a remarkable kind of a runner. And as they say that, the folks say they haven't trained them much because I don't want you know, a young body, you can't do it, but unbelievable. Anyway, get in touch you want to talk. My name is Marcus Hidi twelve. I wouldn't mind some talk about that. The other thing too. Before I chop into the topics of the day, I do want to mention here's something for you. So you go to charge your phone and it says unable to charge because you've got a wet portal. I think that's the wording. I should have taken a screenshot of it if you've got a wet portal on your cell phone because you've been using it to Oh, there we go. Three fifty eight point twenty nine for Sam Tanner, three fifty eight point three five for Sam Ruth. Benjamin Wall also went sub for three point fifty nine. Question for you, if you've got a wet portal on your phone, what's the easiest and quickest and safest way to dry it. I have found myself in the situation about twelve times, and I've never managed to get a result free quickly. I've tried to swing it round and round method. I've tried the soft tissue method. I've tried all sorts of things, although today in the car driving to work, I tried the jam it into the car air conditioner, which seems to be the pick of the Have you given that to go? Let me know what worked best for you. I'll wait one hundred and eighty ten. Don't quite know how it happens. I think it's when you're in the kitchen you're splashing water around. Water gets in there. But tell it for frustrating. I always Christmas phone stuffed. I'm always on about ten percent charge anyway, perpetually so when suddenly it says, not take any more charge for me, it's kind of life changing. But get in touch if you do want to talk, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine too detect Also the track and field that's happened day, if you want to mention that. With Sam Ruth going three point fifty eight point three five pb obviously for him, and Benjamin Wall's also gone three fifty nine, that's a peb. I don't know that's his first time under four minutes. A lot of questions raised there. I don't have the answers for. But if you want to talk, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine two detects, get in touch. You want to be a part of the show. Someone says that was a great advertisement for school lunches. I'm not quite sure what they're referring to. I don't think he was on the school lunches. Well, I don't know that. I imagine it's going to be a head boy at the school. You'd think they were the performance like that. But anyway, the easiest way is to charge it with the wireless charger. Thank you, don't blow us a vacuum cleaner to suck the water out. I didn't think I thought the vacuum cleaner Nolzle would be too wide. You're right, Marcus, athletics hasn't promoted enough in this country. I never knew this was happening tonight. I had no idea. Util I saw it on the website about two hours ago. No idea, and look, I think they could have got thousands there for that. It's a great event. People want to see history made because you know you say, well, I was there when that happened. Of course, though the miles not run fory often these days, Marcus, try paper towel, tissues or toilet paper. Thank you, Marcus, a quick dry out. Put a vacuum clean til it works on condensation on my video cameras, Peter Fielding Marcus, I watched a video a few years ago on YouTube that has been removed now, but the best JFK explanation ever. Basically, the first shot was from the window and the book depository. This alerted the Secret Service of the caw Folong JFK. One of the secret servismen picked up a rifle from the floor of the car and accidental he went off delivering the kill shot. Most believable explanation every present explains why the Secret Service covered so much up Afterwards. A road update high all due to a fire, State Highway one has closed between Mohunoah West Road and Victoria Terrace. Detour for northbound roses turn left onto Muhunua West Road, turn right into Jervis, right in to Victoria, then back on the State Highway one. I actually don't know where that is. I think that must be the North Island around Oho. But if someone's got some more information about that, I'll check on the nz TA website. So bid us knows Marc is welcome in good evening.
I think, Marcus, I was going to talk to you about track and film, but before I do your cell phone issue. It is just going to be a matter of it drying out. So I'm suggesting putting it in the hot water, covered with some damp for it or something like that.
Yeah, okay, you know, like what you put.
The stuff that draws moisture. Actually, I'm telling the other thing you could use is, you know the little silica sachets that often come in pill packets and things like that, and make sure that moisture doesn't get into the pill something like that would be enough. But definitely put it in the hot water, cover it and just give it.
Time, I think.
But I want to just talk about athletics. I was told because I've noticed all the a lot of the local clubs. My daughter does athletics. She's a power athlete. And one of the things I've noticed is a lot of the clubs are getting big numbers from last year. And we were told it's because it always happens in an Olympic year.
Ah, great point.
Okay, so last season starts October. The Olympics were what July August around that time, and the Paralympics as well, and they say that that's because so like my daughter, I drive her two hours every Saturday to the it's finished now to the Canterbury Children's Athletics, which is a bigger meat. But she's in a small club in South Canterbury, so it's and I noticed huge numbers and people are saying it is because of the fact that it was an olympically year last year. But having said that, I think our success, like the Sam's the two SAMs, Tanner as well and Hamish Kirk had a big part to play. In this what it's high jumping out to pole vaulters and also the Paralympic and Grimaldi. I mean, you look at the nominations for the best moment in the Hallberg. Most of them are well not most of them, but a lot of them which rack and field moment.
It's interesting at that moment it seems as though it's Australasia's time to shine, because of course the Aussies had got gout, gout and he did the fastest ever. He's extraordinary, he's a rocket.
I saw it just actually yesterday, I think, well today, I've seen it very recently. I thought, wow, you know, and little Charlotte, she's only thirteen and she's aiming for the New Zealand woman's Paralympic record.
A power recording.
She had a few seconds off, but she started off at forty two seconds for two hundred meters and she's now at about thirty seven.
What's her record. She's got to break.
The one hundred she has break just under sixteen seconds and she's at seventeen point seven. But that's the open woman's record and the under sixteen and she's only thirteen, so she's got plenty of time.
But she can.
She says, I'm.
Going to do it. She said it's coming up, and the two hundred. I think it's about thirty four. But when think about how quickly she's improved from forty two seconds to thirty seven, it's all in the head. You've got the building that you've got to have the motivation. You've got to have the motivation. And I'm seeing such a big searge, and particularly at the children's level because that's where I go. And last or last month we did it at one of the children's meats and it was throwed straight by the International meet in christ Church and we couldn't stay unfortunately for the whole thing, but I got to watch the woman kai jump.
There was a few.
Oddies, there was Japanese. It was just amazing to watch. And I think it really is getting a lot more popular. And like you said, I mean, I knew about this run, but I was too busy tonight to be able to watch it. And I feel that it is something that is just on the rise, and I think we need to watch because we're going to get a lot of metals at the next Olympics.
Nice hear from you, CHRISTI thanks so much. Shifting away from nine. I thought she goes so. I can't wait till you get to license on to drive it for two hours, Marcus. I just blow it in a couple of times. It always comes right. I've tried. It's right now, by the way my phone. I just put it in the aircot in the car, or a can of the air they use for cleaning dust off cameras, Marcus. Other than a hair dryer blowing into the port, put the phone in cilical crystal crystal silica cat litter. Much better than rice, Marcus. Jcarn shops like that do sell small aerosol can to the just air. They're a small tube that connects to the nozzle swimmer to CRC. That can just blow it too close to the socket. Tell you something about CRC. Every time I buy a can of CRC, I'm always surprised how reasonably priced it is. Seems to be the same price forever. There are many things that you think of the same price forever see us see in matches. Yeah, I'll go read and listen to that.
Nick.
Yeah, I.
Hi, Marcus, I've had a wet moment with a phone. Sam is another special Kiwi he featured on the back sports page and a fung to be chronicle on Tuesday, great commentary, I was terrible. Well, the trouble with my The trouble with the commentary was that I forgot how long fifteen. I forgot how long the mile was. I knew it must have been about sixteen hundred, but I couldn't work out where they did the other nine meters but they must start nine meters back, but you must be four laps and nine extra meters. But anyway, who just joined us? Fifteen year old Sam Ruth from Totto have become the youngest person ever to go sub formu at mile, which is kind of amazing when there's only been fifty key we's have done it. Fifteen year old has done it. I mean cheapers of course the miles not runners off in these days, but still is one of the great. I mean, it's a great thing to go sub I don't know if there's anything compears. There's no other like milestone, well, sub ten and the hundred, but there's nothing like going sub four with the mile. Unbelievable. Yeah, get in touch, Marc are still twelve. We are talking track and field and gout, gout the Africa. The Australian that's just gone unbelievably. I think he's done the fast He's only about seventeen or eighteen. He's gone the fastest time ever hundred meters. So yeah, I'll mind you the next Olympics at lare they they're going to be a cluster, aren't they? Cheaper screepers have elon up in the booth anyway, get in touch if you want to talk. Marcus still twelve, mainly about that track and field thing that happened today race that's just happened at Mount Smart. I love to hear from you. I eight one hundred eighty eight nine text. I'll find the list of these the sub formu at Milers. But it looks like we've got two extra today, uh ten away from nine. Yeah, John A's Marcus. Welcome Hi Marcus.
Yeah, I'm just on my way home from the Sam Ruth Race.
Oh wow, wow go you how did you? How did you know about it?
Well?
Actually, my boss is he was a bit of a runner in his day and is involved with the Auckland City Athletics CUB who put on the event Mount Smart and and he told me about it. I thought, gee, this could be actually a bit of history if I go and have a look. And it was an amazing, really good crowd there and everybody cheering them on, and it was very very exciting.
Yeah, John, did you know what was the experience like as someone there? Did you know the whole time that the record was on, were you taking time to yourself or what were you doing?
I was.
I was sitting beside a young guy that was he's a marathon and a half marathon runner himself and knows about the times and what the times would be required. And he said when they when they were just coming past for the last lap, he said, oh, they've got it. He's got it, and and it was oh, just so exciting. Yeah, amazing.
You don't know why they had it on a wet Wednesday, but you know that was all right. The weather kind of cleared up for it.
Did it?
It?
Actually did? It just all cleared up and became very very clear, like no no rain at all. The guys were very busy sort of sweeping the track first to get it the moisture of the track, but then it seemed like it was perfect conditions and hardly any wind and nice and Paul and away. They went here and.
They had a women's race before that. Was any sort of record of PB set on that one, did you mate tell you?
I'm not sure if it was any records or anything. It was a group of young young women. I think it was Bo Richie it and then yeah and the the the sisters identical twin girls that's got third and fourth.
Yeah, did you get a selfie with Sam after the race?
I definitely actually know. I just sort of I went and had a chat with the bus and marveled at what had just happened.
Because I've never I've never seen a live event. I don't think when anyone's gone sub for I mean, it doesn't happen that often in New Zealand.
No, No, and they were because they had the pacemaker for the first couple of laps and then Sam Tanner keeping things going to make sure they were on the right time. And yeah, I mean just amazing, so much respect for that Sam Tanner guy got he's a great guy, so supportive of the young young guy Sam Routh. You know, he's he's helped him heaps there.
Do you think Sam Tanner should have dropped back at the end to let him win?
Now if he if he, if he had it in him to get it while being the pacemaker, can then we'll get it.
You know.
The boy could take it. The boy could take it, then he takes it, but he's got.
To earn it.
Yeah, and the and the whole John, the whole of it was just the two races, is that right, that's right?
Yeah, yeah, And apparently was was only organized really recently, and so they it was sort of a bit of an impromptuy thing. And uh, I know that sam Tana giving a few instructions to the other boys at the start.
And yeah I saw that. I saw that too, Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for a light thing, it did the job. I guess it was free to get and they wouldn't be charging for two races, would they.
No, No, you just just walk in and sit in the sand.
Or Yeah.
I really appreciate your calling, John, Thanks so much for that. There we Go is a text I heard on Zedby this morning that the event was happening, so they've got along to see history made. It was a special event that only had a few days to get it together and get the right officiators there to make it happen. I think he's only got he's only fifteen for another month, and I guess probably can't get the field because I mean, you already need the big field, you need the strong field also, well you need the strong field as strong a field you can as you can get locally, I suppose, I mean internationally, probably that would have been an easier thing to have done. But for those who have just joined us. Sam Ruth, the fifteen year old from Todonga, has just become the youngest person ever to go sub four minutes for the mile. Actually a little bit of a good thing to find the list, which I still haven't found, But the number of people around the world that have got a subfour minute mile, it's not many. It's like fifteen hundred or something I saw which surprised me. John Walker broke the world wile record of nineteen seventy, the first man to run under three point fifty. Nick Willis has gone sub four for nineteen successive years, and Peters still also held the record for a while in the sixties. But yeah, there we go. Sam Ruth has gone sub four. Get in touched you on talk. My name is Marcus welcomped at midnight tonight. The number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. We're talking at the moment about track and field and when your portal to your phone gets wet, the quickest raided ryot. I haven't thought the response that was very good. By the way, I'm sure people have got some better ways to do that, because I think it must happen to people quite often. You need some sort of thin sponge thing to go in there the portal, or a stick with on the end, that would be my take. I've tried spinning it around trail sorts of things. Tried the toaster, myndar toaster. Calvin cooked bread let alone dry out a phone, so I'm not surprised that didn't work. I've never eaten more raw bread than I've had that toaster. Anyway, just out of interesting, one else out there actually witnessed a sub forman a mile anyone there at Cox Garden. I don't know where the famous four sub falls have been, but you might want to talk about this. Now we've got another news inder. It's gone sub four and he's fifteen eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ninety nine to the text, and I do it's Marcus.
Welcome, good evening, Marcus glad to hear you guys, and I'm a sour pleased for here we make a history you again once again?
Yeah history?
Yeah?
Yes, yeah yeah yeah yeah. Hey, have you watched the movie Unbroken?
No?
No, luigis Amburini. It's an athlete in Berlin Olympics nineteen thirty six set the Olympic record for four minutes twenty one seconds on miles. Yes, and this record stay for ten years. All right, that's the history about this. Now, a few years after him, someone run four minutes and one second and apparently one of the doctors mentioned that if the human tried to go the low four minutes, they're hard, we'll explode. It's human impossible to run under four minutes. And his record stands for ten years. And after ten years, on sixth of May nineteen fifty four, or Roger Banister break the record and he run it on three minutes fifty seconds and put a new record. And this it's quite interesting fact after he breaks the four minutes record, in the next four year, sixth days his records was broken. Guess what at twenty two times?
Say that again?
Are you?
Then?
Then in sixth of May nineteen fifty four, the guy's Roger Banner. He breaks the four minutes time. Yeah, under four minutes. He was run under three minutes fifty second run a mile. Right, and after his new record, when the people so actually possible to run under four minutes a mile, in the next forty six days his record was broken twenty two times.
So what does that tell you that it was psychological.
Telling me, Marcus, it's about our mind. When you set our mind to do something, we're limited for our mind. Yeah, that was quite interesting. Fact when I read this and like to do some motivational speech and talk with my son to encouraging for what we're doing, for whatever we do, this is quite fascinating. Think about fourteen years nobody wants thinking it's possible for human being to run under four minutes, and when this guy's proved it's possible. Yeah, And after that in next forest forest days, at twenty two times the record was broken, one after the other one. Then people say, actually it's possible to do this is to set your mind to do it.
Yeah.
What's the name of the movie again? Unbroken is a documentary the proper movie.
It's a proper movie based on his life and it's quite quite, very very nice movie.
Not hear from your ten past nine. The numbers eighty ten, eighty, Leonard's Marcus welcome, good evening.
Ahllo, And I'm just sringing that the race night.
Oh yes, uh yeah.
So I had a relative who ran in a woman's race, and then we stayed and watched the watch them make the record.
Oh wow, who was the relative?
Oh no, I'm not going to say, because she'll get all embarrassed.
Okay, okay. The only reason I'll asked.
Actually, actually she's in the car with that, and she said, we can say so. She's like, it's okay, you can say.
Charlotte, she's your daughter.
Yes she is.
So she's actually a triathlete. But she raced tonight in the mile race.
Though.
Can you just tell me a little bit learn about how they managed to put that together? Did they manage to get all the best female milers from around the country? Is it what they did?
No?
I think what happened. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think what happened is they Auckland athlete who hosted it, normally have a race night on every Wednesday, I think it is, or every second Wednesday, and so this has taken place instead of the normal race night. That's my understanding. Normally they don't run a mile. A mile race is pretty rare. They either run a fifteen hundred or a three k. Yeah, so yeah, I'm not sure exactly how the record came about, but we've known about the woman's race for probably how many weeks Charlotte? Yeah, probably maybe three weeks we've known about it.
Oh, it was fantastic, I mean fantastic. They achieved what they needed to achieve to get him going sub for did Charlotte was it her first ever a mile or did she peb for the mile?
No?
I doubt any of the girls pe beat Actually no, they all raced really well. But no, I hang on a second. Sorry, Oh, Charlotte just said they were trying to get done. I hang on the you could talk to her, hang on here he is.
The women's race. Some of the girls were trying to get the under twenty New Zealand record, which was for thirty seven, so the pacer went out at that pace. Unfortunately, most of the girls couldn't hold on and the girl that one ran four forty three ish four.
And were you behind the woman that fell.
Yes, unfortunately she just got her spike, got clipped and tangled with another girl and she, yeah, unfortunately felt.
Down, but that's racing and she's okay.
Yeah, she's okay, she's no injuries, just unfortunate.
And tell me something when you watched the when you watch Sam Ruth with them mile, were you quite confident he would do that when you could see him and see how well he was because he looked remarked remarkably composed and poised, didn't he.
Yeah, they were going through every two hundred perfectly and under the four minute pace, and then when they went through the last lap they picked it up. So it was quite quite leo. So we're kind of get it to us, but obviously to the naked eye maybe not so much.
But yeah, and for people involved in athletics, you probably don't see. So have you ever seen a subforminate mile run before?
I haven't seen a sub form in a mile run because it's not a very common event that we run here in New Zealand only because again miles, we don't usually use that kind of distance. But it's nice to have a little bit of a change and something different for us.
Love you to talk thank you so and thank you so much very much for your mother for ringing and persuading you to talk as well. Well, there we go. Fourteen baths. Nine numbers are eight hundred and eighty to thirty nineteen nine to two de text. We're talking subformanent miles.
Well, that's good.
We've got people that have run, people that were there, people talking about the mile in nineteen thirty six. I tried to exploin this is parenting. I tried to explain to my children today. The perils have been an older fan. I tried to explain to my children today, Hey, guys, just say you should know in case it just say, just say you know, in case it comes up in a quiz. They love a quiz. I always got them quiz just in case it comes up in a quiz. A lot of information about JFK has been released. Heck, what have I got myselthing to do? I said what I said, So JFK was an American president and he was shot going through Dallas in a Cadillac. What's a Cadillac? Always the question you don't want? Well anyway, so I tried to explain, and I've got about that far. And then once I answered the what's a Cadillac question? They wanted off and had zero interested it, so I kind of failed. I don't know whether I should have talked about the Grassy Knoll and got them in on that one, or the book depository. And then I said, oh, by the way, someone today the afternoon this evening is attempted to become the youngest person ever to run a mile unt of four minutes, where they've got zero interest because they don't know about a mile, and they don't know about track and field, and they don't know about the long history of it. So I thought both of those things had failed to inspire them for But anyway, we do our best, and once in a while you get something that are genuinely interested in. But it wasn't JFK and it wasn't the sub formut mile getting touched on I Talk my name is Marcus Hitt on Midnight tonight. And what I like most about that is it very rarely does anything exciting happen in the eight to twelve show. I think in the nine years I've done it, the two most exciting things have been the result of the flag referendum. When I had to talk to a grizzly sounding John Key at the airport didn't go through.
And this.
On of course all the bad things like floods and stuff. But yeh, not often history is made on the eight to twelve show, Marcus. Even though Gout Gout's time for the tournamentals was slightly wind assisted, it would have placed him forth at the Paris Olympics for two hundred Thanks for that. If bread's wark, if bread's raw, then what's dough? Loll We are talking about things that have staged, things that have stayed at the same price, Marcus, Addington matches and CRC staying the same price. Jiff always the same price. Well, I don't think Jiff was. I wouldn't know how much. Jiff won't be about seven dollars. How much would Jiff be, Marcus. The greatest rescue in the history of mankind happened today to astronauts are back on Earth after nine months and there was hardly any coverage. Is it because it's fake? Like the moon landing. I saw a lot of coverage. It was remarkable because there were dolphins. There was the pod with the astronauts and then there was the pod with the dolphins. I thought it was remarkable, mind ju and I know I wasn't here on Friday, but I did see the I did see the posts from that American physicist had always popularized science that showed the eclipse as seen by a flat earther. It's pretty good that one. I thought a few too many people tried to bring out the old Salami shot this eclipse. But the old flat Earth eclipse is one of the classics because you've got the red moon and then just a line across it where the Earth is. Anyway, get in touched you on talk On. Name is Marcus Welcome. We talked about track and field, subformuate miles, and how to dry your cell phone if the portal gets wet. Not the whole phone gets wet, but just the portal and won't take any charge. It's like it's a day ruiner. Because I'm always on about five percent. I'll be on my phone broke. I was getting power and I slipped, yeah, which is frightening because I'm not really a slippy type person. A lot cheap as that's age. But then Vanessa on some holiday, and then Vanessa went to get the phone screen replaced. I think the guy's done a really slack job of the phone's never already worked again since anyway, twenty one past nine, Fullett's Marcus, welcome, good evening, I Phil.
Hey Marcus, Yeah, I was there tonight.
Oh good.
My club ACA, which is Auckland City Athletics, put the meat on. We had Ben Ruth, Sam's dad and coach Craig Kirk, was asked us about three weeks ago if we could run a mile for him before he turns sixteen, and we love racing at night here an auten. Once the weather sort of settled down and that and tonight was pretty perfect. Actually, while it rained, it cleared up at about seven point thirty and both the ladies and the men got the race and beautiful conditions with barely any wind.
Oh welome, well done you Phil. That was remarkable because because and looking watching it on the TV, watching both races for AVIAT you pulled together three weeks, it seemed like had a pretty competitive field. Have you got people from right around the country for that?
Yeah, I mean most of the guys that were racing the mile was kind of Auckland, isn't it. Obviously all boys from Towld that both Sam's trained with and you know, Sam Tanner had committed to helping Sam Ruth do the time, and what better that than to have a three fifty miler come and do your pacemaking for you. So, you know, Sam, Sam Ruth still had to do it, and they were pretty on the money pretty much all the way. Actually, I clocked them at sort of fifty eighth and a half first lap, and then it was one fifty eight, two fifty eight, and then they roll home in sixty seconds. You know, it's because it's an extra nine meters. It's a little bit confusing with the split, the.
Nine the ninth, the nine meters at the beginning. Okay, yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, the nine meters at the beginning. So so each is two meters two point two five meters further back from the line, so so you get a different read. Yeah, on the timing.
Is there anything, Phill, Is there anything about the sub four that prevents you using pacemakers? Are all that's legit, that's all sort of out a long time ago, is that.
Right, it's all legit, all legit. Pacemakers are fine. You know, like at the end of the day, Championships like the Olympics and that paces it can be decided between athletes, which are isn't really but definitely pacemaking is allowed in the sport, regularly used, and you know, without it, I don't think a lot of the times would get run anyway. Fair enough, you've got to be assistant.
And the unit that came through third it was his first? Was it first? Sub four? Can you tell me about him?
Yeah?
Yeah, I don't know him actually he yeah, he started a big PV. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean that's number fifty fifty one. No, yeah, I'm not We're a bit trying the numbers. Actually, I thought it was forty seven or forty eight today.
Yeah, I think I think it was forty eight today, and they've got two more today which brings it to fifty.
Yeah.
So yeah, so Sam Sam would have been forty nine. And then I think the guy wore were Bull was third.
You don't know what his previous PB was. Do you how much quicker head rung?
I could? I could, I could search it up. Text me if you can, certainly and I'll teach you. Yeah, he's definitely a big BB.
Okay do you think Sam Tanner should have let Sam ruth Win?
I thought he was going to Yeah, I thought he had actually won, But but there's you know, like at the end of the day, I don't think it really met us.
Yeah, I was. I was trying to. I was busy trying to commentate it myself, so I wasn't doing well. But he might have even had that much awareness. Would have he known that they'd both gone under four when he was coming down.
Yeah, yeah he could. He could see that there's a clock on the finish line. Yeah, you can see it as you're getting close to it, and they would have known that they were really, you know, under it. They were well under it actually, which was you know, pretty obvious in the last sort of twenty meters that they were going.
To be under it.
And he didn't.
Sam Ruth didn't folder at all. Actually looked great. He was racing still right through the line.
Look look incredibly relaxed. He looked like, Yeah, it was unbelievable. We might be going into a golden era of track and field, are we?
I think so? I think we've got found another one, another John Walker or another Nick willis another Peter Snell. He's been well coached and well managed, loves loves the sport and looking at him at fifteen. Man, that's pretty impressive stuff. Three you know, three fifty eight is a fifteen year old and world world record now pretty impressive actually.
And Phil, I don't know how much you know about it. I mean you've rung me. Are you are you? Are you a coach or any think you're just an enthusiast.
I am a coach. And the girl was taken out today, Nina Charmers taking out. Yeah, she under eighteen national champion last week in Dneda. And actually unfortunately Bo Richie got that dked for that because she cut across the girls, yeah, and took her out. So yeah, it's unfortunate because Nina is in great shape. And and I'm phil clothed the sub portmanent my life.
So okay, I understand Phil, appreciate you're talking to you.
But Sam didn't take my time down, so I'm delighted about that.
Yeah.
The only reason that he didn't save the dog.
The only reason I asked you full about your credentials because I know that Sam Ruth's father's talked about how lightly he's training. Is that really important when you're still growing? Is that sort of that be the thinking? Is that right? You wouldn't want to burn them out. Would that be an emotional thing or a physical thing?
Oh same with the girls and boys. They you know, we were all kids once and I know that I overtrained when I was that age fifteen ye I got injuries like for me as a coach, and I know Craig Kirk is the same. We rarely try to nurture the kids and make sure that they get to eighteen nineteen when they're adults and still love the running and want to be part of the scene, and don't break them, you know, like that. He's he's he does a lot of other different things and he's seam tens are saying, you know, LARTs is surfing and does a lot of cross training and all that sort of stuff. And I think, I think very well managed by a family. The Roofs definitely mean and running long enough to know what they're doing, and obviously grandparents didn't know a bit about running as well. So yeah, but a breeding and a lot of probably intelligent coaching, which is which is fantastic because he's a super talent, and a lot's coming. I think there's a lot coming in the future.
What number were you film? What number my sub four. Were you number twenty or something?
Were you I'm twenty two or something?
Twenty one?
Yeah, twenty three, Yeah, I looked. I've looked at the list of twenty three.
Yeah, there we are. I don't know. There seems a lot of young fellers taking taking that time, so I'm always going to be on the list. Thank goodness. You know you can't take it away, So take it away. Its great to Yeah, great to see these young kids doing so well, and hopefully you know, there'll be world record holders. They'd be fantastic, wouldn't.
It lovely you talk, pil Thank you so much for coming through. Really appreciate that.
That's great.
By the way, too, It's still a lot happening tonight. There is a fire and o how Hau which is not the one in the South Island, the North Island one, which is kind of confusing, but there is a Yeah, I haven't heard much about that, but the details from n Z tar As follows. It's been a bad week for the highway, isn't it. So I'm clicking on it now. This is north of Utucky. Due to fire, State Highway one is closed between Mohunoah West Road and Victoria Terrace. For northbound road uses, turn left into Moho West Road, right into Jubois Terrasts right in Victoria Terrace, then left back on a state HIAI ian reverse for southbound road users. I'm not I suspect they have a lot of fires there, am I right? It feels like we've had fires and diversions there before. Of course, I'll tell you what does the fire season. I'll tell you what I've noticed from my meanderings today. The blackberries haven't been good. Anyway, I'll get to the text because these are important. Marcus heading to Parmeston North of the morning from Auckland. What's the best route? Google Maps reckons via Osakahonga National Park through Highway though I thought Highway one and Desert Road would be better. What do you think? Given could someone Auckland Parmerston North is a good trucky question? Which way would you go? I'd go down the guts if you do that back way round oh Porongia, I reckon. I don't reckon it's any good, no good for old tom Phillips Country. Now I reckon you're best going down. But someone will probably dispute that because there are roadworks, But thank you, Marcus. Things that seem to stay the same price. My strawberries twelve dollars for one kilogram nineteen years and people still ask the price. That's alan from the red barn.
On.
People have pulled out to me that Kennedy got shot and Lincoln Continental. Well, they wouldn't care. The kids, honestly wouldn't care. I was also thinking I was talking to the kids too. You I picked I wait for a long walk with one of my boys day and a lot of discussions about things, but discussion about cars. Car which card? He's asking which car I've liked the best? I'm thinking, well, and I feel a bit sorry for it because all the cars these days are identical. And I've talked to people on the show about Prefects and Zephyrs and stuff like that. The cars were really different. But kids aren't going to have that talk about I remember when we bought this, because they're all the same. They all look like a hando Tucson. Anyway, I got a lot to say to I don't ever know Marcus Bannis around the first sub four and three fifty nine point four at the edge of twenty five that was in fifty four. We're marching. We're watching the early stage of a champion, through and through, Marcus. I got my water in my charge put on the way to the airport. I used the hand dryer in the bathroom. That's a great idea. Worked a treat, Marcus. One thing that's never changed in price A dollar mixture. Marcus sam Ruth's mother and grandmother of regod athletes. His grandmother was my pee teacher at Tonga Girls College. Pretty sure she went to the calm games on the track. Marcus. We went into lockdown during your show, which was pretty historic. I'll always appreciate their heads up you gave us. That's right, that did happen on our show. And someone rang up and said, I'm at the Green Lane supermarket and it's going mental, Susie. It's Marcus. Good evening, Hi, Marcus.
I know it's not your topic, but I just wanted to ring up. How people how lovely that TEENA movie is?
People?
Look, I feel bad because I don't even evident. Everyone seems to absolutely love it.
You were That's why I'll run tonight. I didn't think you would mind.
No, absolutely no, no, this is something to celebrate.
This is exciting, and I just can't go into detail because you might spaller for some people. But you leave there with tears. Markets that were so beautiful and.
Look, isn't that great because it's been a while since we've had a banger of a Keywi movie. But everyone seems to be responding really really well to.
That definitely, and what I.
What I kind of liked about it. It just kind of came from nowhere. There was no kind of high expectations.
It just arrived.
Bang.
It was just like that, and boy word.
Of mouth, Yeah, that's right.
Yes, we're a good crowd. A lot of people there.
Not really Marcus, only about nine, but there was a screening it. It seems to be the nights they have more people because a lot of people are working during the day.
Marcus, that's nice to hear from you, Susie, appreciate that. Twenty five to ten, My name is Marcus. We're talking about Track and Field and Tina and the JFKs. You've been to the files. Thank you for all that about the Cadillac in the golden age of Track and Field? Marcus, What news was released about Kennedy today? Where look, a lot of news was released about Kennedy. But there's eighty thousand pages. There's all sorts of letters that have been released, and but look, I suspect a lot of people are posting fake document it's as well. So it was hard to work out it needs to go through some sort of academic historic rigor before we know exactly what's happened, because I first started going on Twitter and things and seeing all sorts of stuff. But actually when I went to credible news websites, they said that it's largely stuff that we've always known. I mean, there's some funny ones, so I can't even work out ill have it. It was squias around during the news to say, if I get some more intel about that, what the great takeouts are? Oh wow, okay, this is great. So Ben Walls, right, who came third? This was I talked to Phil Clode about this. He's New Zealand's fiftieth sub formatut miler. Ben walls personal best was four oh seven point eighty seven, so it's taken eight seconds off his best mile with fifty nine. It's unbelievable.
Oh.
By the way, I apologize, it's pronounced tina meaning mother and someone thank you, phone and water I dropped mine in my teacup, talking apart and air it for a few days. Mine's all good now, Marcus, I'm in Ohaw. The last time we had a major diversion through here was when the petrol tanker fell over on State Hiway one. The road was closed all day. It took me three hours to drive from or Tucky to o Hal fifty kilometers. I don't know anything other than it was a house fire and O how oh it's a house fire. Okay, so it's not forestry anyway. Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome twenty three away from ten. I hope it's good with you. I've enjoyed tonight.
Oh.
So we know all about the track and field, don't we. It was like, this guy is going to turn sixteen, let's get a good race going. And they got the Aukland Athletic Association whatever it's called, to sort it out. And they got the field together and inclan that lovely trathlete that we spoke to. And we've finally found we found a listing, haven't we, Dan?
Oh?
Isn't it fetch it?
Oh?
I see it's not up to date. It's only the top thirty one times. Okay, so is he the thirty first quickest of the fifty So it's the twenty nine, twenty nine quickest. Okay, twenty sixth quickest sub four okay, thanks for that. Oh now there's been a message for Sam from Sam Walker that has been brought to my attention. I don't even know where this would be, would he be on Twitter or quite where this is from. Congratulations to Sam Ruth. He is the first fifteen year old in the world to break forwth minutes for the mile. He ran three fifty eight point three in Orkan, news Eland tonight. What an exciting future this young man has in front of him. Imagine what he will be running as an eighteen year old. Well done, Sam, that's what sir John Walker a statement from him, first fifteen year old ever to go under four minutes at Mount Smart the ego just look at just looking at a lot of world media about this race that's been run with John Walker now speaking and people kind of globally amazed that a fifteen year old has gone sub for because it's a kind of a particularly in the well, I mean, after Roger Banister, it particularly all those countries people are obsessed with sub four minutes. But I'm seeing on Twitter there's a photo posted which is the photo of the race, and I'm going to describe the photo to you because it says everything. We'll put the photo on our Facebook page because it's extraordinary. Sam Tanner is crossing the line. None of his feet are touching the ground. His lower foot is about eight inches off the ground. His other foot is kind of mid kicked back. He's got his two hands up and an exclamation kind of a look, and he's twisting around and looking at Sam Ruth, and Sam Ruth is beside him, just almost alongside him, and he's got his hands out in a no worries kind of an expression. And then the young guy with the guy behind him is coming through, also the guy that also went sub for It's an amazing image. It's one of the iconic athing images. I imagine that will become the iconic shot of that event. Oceana Athletics has posted that if you want to go look at that foot, I'll I'll get there to find that and put that on our Facebook page. We are talking track and field. We're also talking about keeping your phone dry if the portal gets wet. It's been a busy show all sorts of reasons. I mean not often I get to commentate a mile race and they go sub four. Now keep your texts coming through. Also, Tina movie, absolutely the best twenty or more today north Shore Auckland. Great program. Thank you Shell, nice shell, thank you. Nice to hear from you. If you want to talk on here eight hundred and eighty tay nine dext we're talking sub formulate miles and drying your phone portal if it gets wet. Also the JFK Darter if you've looked into that, would like to hear you talk about. By the way, here we go. Here's the question. I'll beat Darcy and Deacon of this one. And it's a shame that. It's a shame. The rat Christo Raher two's got no more columns. Beau would be a great one for him. As I pivot to sport, you go sub four. Do you get the Halburg? You get it a Halburg, wouldn't you? I'll give it to a canoe again, I mean, would you sub four? It's the Halburg, isn't it. It's got to be particularly since Halburg Halburg track and field. There you go he himself was a sub formant. It's got to go to him. He's got to get this guy can get everything. He can get the Young Athlete of the Year, he can get the Male Athlete of the year, he can get the overall a ride, and he can get the sporting moment of the year. It's a clean sweep, isn't it. It's got the lot, got the quad factor. Unbelievable anyway, Oh, get in touch. You on talk eight hundred eighty to nine nine two decks, looking forward to what you've got to say. If you want to talk about this or anything else, be good to hear from you. Oh eight nine two nine two to text. Looking at these early herald headline Sam Ruth fifteen hundred meter world record ki he becomes youngest ever to break four minute mile. That they might need to rejig that one, but look, do get in touch. You want to talk on your myn name as Marcus welcome. If there's something else you want to mention, including the movie ten R and yeah, there was the thing. It came from nowhere, that one. That movie. I didn't think that was going to be something. In fact, I remember seeing and I normally try and keep up to date with what's going on kind of you know and show business. But I saw on Facebook some people attending a premier. I thought, what's that as a musical word, I had no idea what it was. It was only later on I read reports and had broken a million dollars in its opening weekend and I realized it was a movie. So it's a fantastic thing. Anyway. Fourteen to ten, my name's Marcus. Welcome hitdal twelve. As I say, if you want to talk on her eight hundred and eighty to did you go to our Facebook page? It's a great shot. Adan, It's it's epic. It's an epic shot. So do get in touch Marcus till twelve, Da da da, Yeah, I'm excited. Oh eight hundred eighty ten, eight nine text.

You've got to dress as your race or no, that sounds wrong, you've got to dress you know, culture day. So there's been some challenges with what he's supposed I told him to go on as Crenella Crenula, Jersey. But we decided that well, I wasn't quite sure about that. Anyway, He's come up with something and that's a win. There'd be problematicouldn't it for all sorts of reasons. I think it's called culture. They got to take some food as well. I said, I drop them off twenty bucks of chips, hot chips. But I don't know if that's going to happen anyway. Get in touch, you on to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome, oh eight hundred and eighty text love to hear from your ten away from ten. Go to the Facebook page market slash Nights. It's brilliant that picture of Sam Ruth running the sub formuut mile and if you want to talk about when your cell phone gets wet or track and feel. But it's a golden age. We've got the gold medal at the Olympics in the high jump. We've got I mean, this guy's I mean touch what no pressure. But you know, even John Walker is saying, oh my god, imagine how quick he's going to be when he's eighteen. It's unbelievable. I feel I've got too much going on today with different topics because there are good topics out there, but the question I did want someone's rung up and said they're driving Auckland to Parmester north Throw, which is the quickest way to go?
Now.
I love a discussion about the merits of different journeys, because in invert Cargo they are always discussing the quickest way to go to Dunedin, whether you take the old coach road, which always causes me to start seeing a little navs X because take my horse down the old Coulture anyway. So but yeah, that props up most days someone will discuss the various merits. Marcus heading to Parmeston in the morning from Auckland. What's the best route? Google Maps reckoned via Otlahonga National Park. Thought Highway one and Desert Road would be better. What do you think, Kevin, I'd go the Highway one. I reckon that down the back down the mountain. I don't like that route, I feel I don't like those small towns after I don't like it at all. I don't like those kind of decrepit looking railway stations at Tiquit. I'm not into it. But that's just me. Someone will have a more scientific point of view. From a distance point of view. But yeah, Kevin's asked a question. I think he demands an answer. Oh, eight hundred eighty eight, Marcus. Another very good shot in the moment is a mixtape for Maladies. It's wry about the Civil War in Sri Lanka. Wogan together with tunes from the era that family used to listen to. Powerful play about music and memories. Has live music in the show. Great reviews. It's an Auckland Theater Company productions on the ASB water Front Theater every night on the till the twenty third, she has been Marcus Go Desert Road, Marcus. If driving from Auckland to Wellington, drive via Tiquity National Park. State Highway one's closed just after Potadadoo and also around Wahiteitucky before topor detours are a nightmare. There we go Marcus to Pami State high Wan to Sampson, then State Highway three from Sampson to Parmi Highway one and turn off at Himatangi. Apparently there are road works though around about putadalou So yeah, it might be. It might be dodgy anyway, Ross Marcus.
Welcome, Yeah, listen. The quickest way to Winnington. In my view is just as you pass the towering a turn off about three hundred meters past there, there's a turn off to the right which goes up the side of Karapiro and I would go down there and it takes you out when you climb out of the valley, there's a little wiggle part. Go directly across and join the old Tapa Road and that'll bring you out by just before take a rha and from there following your nose down to Fokomaro and on to the Western Access Road. Okay, that's all.
Brilliant, always like a life. Heck, I couldn't work out if it was going up or going down? Cheap is Okay, Wow, I didn't realize there's a rent run around there. Can anyone tell me more about that? I'm looking on the map. It seems to make quite good sense, but I haven't quite got the full vibe of that one. But yeah, cheapers, you might want to add something to that. Love a roading debate. Get in touch Marx till twelve O eight and eighty Teddy and nine nine to text. Use the app Ways to compare routes. It's better than Google Maps. Currently lots of thirty k's and placed along the desert road. Drove it Monday and it's called ways w A ZD. You heard of it, Dan, I've never how long has it been around, like twenty years? Never heard of it? Ways w A's. Don't like the way it's spelled markets Marcus, welcome.
Yes, I just to elaborating on that last quarter, beginning that road down to too Ringy, Yes, sure. Where you turn off just past the Meta Matta turn off that goes off to the right on State Highway one heading south, there's a turnoff that crosses the Waikato River.
At high Horror Okay.
Then that that little road.
Runs follows the Waikato River down towards Arapuni, which is the next station beyond upstream from Karapiro heading south, and that road eventually comes up on just by the the Arapeni power station and you go up onto that highway that comes from the true heading over to the road that runs between Muti and Bokamaru, and so you just follow that. You do it right up there and cross over the Arapenei power Station bridge, and that takes you onto that intersection that road that runs between Tiomutu and Fokamaru and do a left and just follow that road down heading south and you go past why Papa the next station, and then winds up and bypasses Manga Kino and then you take the the next intersection road that runs off to the right at the at Wakamaru and that's poor hippie road and that that road will take you all the way. Yeah, tee hoy road. Sorry, tee hoy. That road will take you strake down on the western side of Lake Taupo and comes in at Tinge and then you can carry on down on the desert road.
Is this like a recently? What was the first lake you said that comes by?
The first first lake is Lake Karapiro.
Yeah, then the next one.
A and then white Paper all the state. There are nine stations on the Whiteado River and I've operated most of them, and I used to go down there a lot years ago, and so I know that road really well.
Is it quicker?
Oh yeah, it's a lot quicker. When I used to cut through from coming from with the Anger, I used to cut across, come through Piral Tierra, then cut across and bypass Meta Mata and and cut straight across and coming out at that intersection from Meta Mata. Just tear on the road and and then then just go down a little bit and then turn right over the horror horror and then follow that d down and the horror about.
Yeah, okay, so hey, is it a road that's now become quite popular because a lot of people know about the Secret Highway? Or is it still pretty? There's no one on it.
There's no one on it and I never see anyone for passing the cars, or or it was good, it was a good rate. It's small tower seel and it's it's a nice d drive and through the country and it's a good road. Not many people know about that one. Yeah, I don't know anyone else that knows about I found it and and I used it a lot because it was just so much quicker.
Do you think that road that you've discovered is different from what the first go roun because it's talk about the old Topol road, which I think you've mentioned. Have you that's a different road again? Is it it got two names? Maybe it's the road with two names. I didn't see it before now I can't see it.
It may be it's the way he described it is the same. What I was talking about.
I really appreciate that. That course, whenever I thought everything was discussed when it came to Aukland, Wellington didn't know there's a new route you could take. Don't fully worked out.
Well.
I can see where you've got the before the turn off to Madam Muddy. You've got the horror, horror, and you go across there. What's the lake they fluttered? That's nearby? That's what thought. That what the guy was referring to Brian Marcus.
Welcome, Edie Marcus. How are we good? Brian?
If you sound like a truck driver.
Yeah, I'm southbound at the moment. That's all good, right. If you don't know the roads, you sway to come. If you come out of Auckland, go over to bomb Base and bok a left onto on the highway toads. Follow that all the way down. Then switch over on to Highway twenty seven and follow that all the way down through Mada Matter. Pop out at t Row go left and follow that all the way through Twerpo, go up over the tower pau five pass. Just follow that all the way down and then you've got two options. You either turn less. It's going to get hill, we go to park, than that way through fielding, or just go all the way down the balls turned left and then just follow that all the way unto Parmerston.
Okay, what about the guy that wanted to go lift at Horror Horror down the other side of the west side of the White Cat. Is it something you've ever done.
I've been around that area all the time, But it depends on that you've got local area knowledge. If you take the wrong turn off, yeah.
I reckon, I reckon, that could be a relationship ruiner. If you took the wrong way and yeah, I reckon, you could be in trouble with that. It seemed like the directions were quite complicated to me.
Yeah, no, that's the easiest way. State Highway so twenty seven and then down that way.
Brilliant. Always enjoy the state Hurry twenty seven. Heck for a while, this State twenty seven seem to be some sort of undiscovered secret. Not anymore. Get in touch with discussing. Awkin to Palmerston, Marcus, Kapito and surrounding area will be busy this week and weekend due to row row rowing Row your boat, Marty Cup Marcus wee, can you go repair an old mobile phone to retrieved photos on it. It's a great question or somewhere to fix old cameras and older clocks that don't go. It's even hard to find anything to develop old Kodak films. We cleaned out a recently deceased uncle's flat and found a real large brandy glass full of old undeveloped films. So we'd like to get them developed. You know, I've got any suggestions for that. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus Pittatadu to Waireki for another three weeks might open for the VH Cheers. Plaudits must go to Sam Tanner for taking the role of the pace made helpers young charge Sam to a world record and still win the race. I don't know much about ways, although I think we've talked ways before. That's the app w A z e oh. I told you just gonna bring some more information about jf K two. I haven't had. I was too busy. I'm relaxing during the newsbreak action, which is not like me. So the latest I'll do a new search and I'll go into the last hour. That's what I do to get the more recent stuff. Oswald's phone called a KGB officers the trip before the assassination. So yeah, there's a lot about that. I'll try and see if I get some information. You might have done a bit of a deep dive yourself and have some information for us. Tricia, Marcus, welcome, good evening.
Hello and Marcus. This is March and Trisia.
How about marching Tricia?
How are you a great look? Just a little quick story. Were setting off to Palmerston the other week to go to our north I own our national champions ship and set off from Hamilton. I'd traveled from Tierraha, so I'd already done forty minutes and off we went our team and where we stopped, I don't know where we stopped because it was somewhere I didn't know. When we bought some lovely food, got back in the vehicle again, happily eating. Anyway, we're driving along going to Palmerston. And next thing, one of the girls said, do we go to Mocow on the way to Palmerston And I said, I said definitely not. Next thing, We're going up Mount me Singer. And I phoned my husband and he's a horse trainer, right, so he head set off from Tierraha I don't know what hour of the morning in his big seven horse truck taking horses to Waverly. So I phoned him when we're going up Mount Messinger and I said, Peter, where we're going to Palmerston, as you know, but we're actually traveling up Mount Messenger. And he said, well, you've gone the wrong way. I said, yes, well we know that, and so he said where we need to go and he said, I'll probably pass you coming into Waverley and he laughed. So here we went through all those towns you said mentioned before. There was Stradford, there was Sarah, there was Party, and we were oh, every town in New Zealand we went past and you.
Would not believe it.
We're driving past the Waverley Racecourse, as he had just driven in, and so we so wet. We gave him a toot and we played that soul Marcus, I've been everywhere, and honestly we were just absolutely hysterical. By the time we got to Palmerston Weld, we could hardly walk. We've been the thecar for seven and a half hours. Really, yes, took seven and a half, probably seven and a quarter. But by the time we so.
Was it the old age problem of confusing New Plymouth and Palmerston.
North No, No, our navigator was busy talking, well.
That's marching for you. A yeah, okay, well goodness, okay, not paying attention.
We came home that other way, what National Parkway. It was a nice drive because the Desert Road was closed. But I do believe it's open now that I'm not one hundred percent sure, but that's my story getting to Palmerston like it.
Like Electricia, Thanks very much for that. And where to get old old photos off cameras, off phones that have broke. That's confusing for me because that's all in the cloud.
Yeah.
So if you've got any information about the JFK stuff that was released, I kind of I am curious about that. It's been out for about ten hours now, so they've released a lot of the versions that were redacted, and it's unclear why a lot of the stuff has been redacted. We've got some information about that. Be interesting to hear from your oh eight hundred and eighty ten. If there's something else you want to mention tonight too. Jumping up things are the other thing the topic things that have remained the same price, someone said, Jiff, probably in the smaller container. That's what they do these days. Ken's Cameras and christ Jews develops old film. Thank you for that State Highway wan to Viv's kitchen and Sanson goes straight ahead to Pame. Marcus, lots of people miss the left turn after Teaquitdio. It's called five mile junction. Catches plenty. Oh it's good point you make. It's not that well signposted either, is it. Gosh? Wyon'd anyone go that way? Marcus. Anything to do with old photos, try cedy imaging in Alexandra Mark is marvelous. Well anyway in Alexander's good. That's from marg Us every night, first time contact, Love you Mark, thanks so much for that. Twenty three past ten, we're talking sub for four minute miles. How good is this guy, Sam ruth Head When every Halberg wont a young young sportsperson, sports person, sports moment overall, they should have televised that damn thing. Well, they've got on stuff website for putting it out there on their website, was also on YouTube. I guess that where it's talk going to end up. Marcus Ferrymede Photos and christ Church still sell and developed films from cameras had some done the last years ten years old, great photos. That's from Tracy, great name, Tracy, get in touch, Marcus Till Midnight and also jfkn also too, when you can't charge your phone because the portal's wet, they don't call it a portal, they call it a charging station. Anything else you want to talking about tonight too, I'm up for it. Actually, it's been a very relaxing night for me talking or we got that to get that race and I've been a track and field discussion. So for those who have just joined us, New Zealand has got a fifteen year old to be the first person in the world to run under four minutes. That happened just after eight o'clock today. So what that race also featured was two New Zealanders. Sorry, it featured three New Zealanders running subfur minute miles and two New Zealanders running subform minute miles for the first time. I don't know how often that happens, because we look at all the years Kiwis have run subformanut miles. I don't know who the first one was, It's probably Snail. Was it only fifty have done it. Two of them did it tonight in the same race. It's very hard to find a comprehensive list of New Zealand sub fifty sub formunute mileers. It's I've spent quite a bit of time on Google trying to work that one out. But yeah, that's a there's some interesting discussions about that. I presume Peter Snell was the first, of course too. John Walker went three point fifty. He was a per first person to go under three fifty. I remember the headland waking up to the headline of that in the paper. Was it in Gothenburg or something like that? So we are talking about subforminate miles. But yeah, and I don't know, I should have Phil cloded. Well, several people that were the event and rang up previously, but I should have asked Phil Weather. In fact, that's the first time anyone's got subformuate miles at Mount Smart? Is it in the list?
Dan?
John Walker ran his one hundred at Mount Smart? Now you know that's true because there was that great rivalry. Were that American guy I think came over that that was a big event at the time. That's right, Thank you, Dan. Anyway, if you want to with that also too, But as I say, she's a fairy, lighthearted kind of go around tonight a bit of everything. Pretty intrigued by that quicker way to go Auckland, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, down the west side of Lake of the Wakata River. Getting touchy on talk about that. My name is Marcus Hilt the good night. There's something you want to mention. Good good, good, good good. There might be some other breaking news type thing you've got, and I'm all up for that.
Oh.
This track and field that we've got, the track and is that that's the incomplete lest day Dan. Oh, it's got them all alphabetically from around the world on this one. Yeah, that's from twenty twenty one and a lot of Kenyans there. Yeah, got that copy of that. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine to text you want to come through. It'd be nice to hear from you. As I say, oh, eight hundred eighty to ten eighty twenty six past ten evening, Garrett, It's Marcus.
Welcome, good evening, Marcus.
How are you good, Garrett? Real good? Thank you?
Oh great. I was just calling in to talk about the JFK, Fild, have.
You had a look at it or if you managed to see anything new from today?
Uh?
I have. So there's there's a couple of things related to the assassination attempts on Fidel Castro that are dumped, so not directly on the on the Kennedy assassination, but more so on the assassination attempts of Fidel Castro and and JFK's role.
In that.
And J and that's this is it's that C I I beyond, that's c I A right, that's.
Yeah, that's the CIA's attempts on that. So it was the going back in that part of history. It was the Bay of Pigs and the botched invasion, which kind of landed JFK in a in a bit of hot water with the C I A and and at that time he was battling it out with the heads of of those departments and and kind of the military industrial complex, and so there was there was always speculation about what role they might have played in his assassination because it was it was well known that he didn't get along with them, and there was some speculation that they were involved in his assassination. So it's it's interesting to see all the files dumped, and there's a lot of Americans out there that kind of doubt about the honesty of the government at the time and whether or not it played a role in the assassination. And we'll see as people come through the eighty thousand pages of information on whether or not any of that that comes to light.
So the Piper trial linking Kennedy to the cis the attempted assassination on Kstar. That's new?
Is that what you're saying, Well, it is new, and so there's there's new evidence that that's come out in there around what his role was in the assassination attempt on Castro, and and there's multiple in there. And I believe that's why the CI didn't want the documents released because they they cover kind of the different ways that that the CIA attempted to assassinate Castro when he first roast to Powers. So there was there, I think speculating, but I think that's why the government didn't want those documents disclosed, because it was kind of operational matters within the CIA that they were trying to keep secret.
Nice to hear from Kerl, I do appreciate that just coming up to headlines if you want to talk about this or anything else. As I say, eight hundred eighty eighty nine detected midnight tonight. By the way, the last of the Saw films is AW. It was going to be the eleventh, but they've pulled the pin on that. Production was kentled this week. I think if you've seen one of the Saw movies, you've seen too many of them. They were horrific. Why you'd want to see eleven? I've got no idea, no idea in the world. Thought that the landing of the Nassa thing was pretty amazing. There were dolphins where they landed. How often does that happen? Not very often. Buttually there must be a lot of dolphins if you're just landing a spacecraft in there there. It was amazing that footage of that. I don't know if you saw that, but that might be something you want to talk about. Also, dig in touch. I know, I don't know if this is going to be of interest to you, but Westfield at the malls, their security cameras, their security guards are going to be issued with body cameras. I think this is after that situation in Bondi where that person had killed some others. Safety and security the reason they're doing that. Our security approach has created a partnership with law enforcements and government agencies. We invest in our security practices can improve our capability processing people's preparedness to respond to security. Instance, a spokesperson said, I don't if Aloney's got any problem with that. Have they getten filmed at the mall? When you're getting filmed anywhere from all those cameras that are everywhere twenty seven away from eleven o'clock mark are still twelve? And I'm pretty if you Alt wants to explain that quickest way to get from Auckland to Palmerston North on the western So I have sort of kind of got the vibe with that one. I need to look get the maps out to write that one down. It's always exciting when people come up with a new way and a new route. Then after a while it becomes the most popular one and becomes kind of set in stone, always singing that back route people always used to go from Auckland to New Plymouth out around Perongha and stuff like that. Well, I see that's the way Google Maps takes you these days. It's become the established one. The other discussion is flying getting too uncomfortable and cramped. Well, I wouldn't want to be a basketballer traveling around the world, to put it that way. I don't know what the solution to flying is. I reckon at school they should teach kids to get off planes quickly, because boy, people are bad at that. It's a skill that no one has. They wait till everyone's left, then they start getting their baggage out of the overhead locker. I don't know what the solution is, get one of those silly bags on wheels. Altogether, they're looking forward to your calls, as I say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty, get in touch. You got anything you want to talk about tonight, including the release of the JFK files. But I think everyone's agreed it's going to be some time before the real gotcha's come out for that one. And I guess the whole point really was people they didn't know why certainly certain documents were with held or redected. So I've been trying to look all day to find information for you. I mean, what you do need is sort of the five Biggest bomb showers article. I think I might have found one of those, although it's someone's opinion as to what the bombshells are. There would be my take on that one. But the article I've found five biggest takeouts from Lee Harvey Oswald was a poor shot. One document start of the KGB monitor Oswald while he was in the US is R because he was married to a Soviet woman. The Marines spent time in the country where is monitored continuocy by the KGB, telling me one telling ly one document on his markmanship skills list, the men would go that the men would go on to kill JFK is a poor shot after observing him on a firing range. So there you go, he's a poor shot. There's a lot of discussion about John Garrett Underhill, who was a CIA agent. The day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late the evening, he showed up in the home of a friend of New Jersey. He was reagitated. A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country. Less than six months later, Underhill was found shot to death as Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it a suicide, I think, though the shot was behind the ear, which they thought was unlikely. Another thing, too, Oswald was not a KGB spy. One document details had an American professor named E. B. Smith was befriended by a CIA agent working in Saint Petersburg station the month for the assassination. Smith was thought to have confide in the agent about a friend of KGB official known as Slava Nikanov, who had reviewed the thick files held by the organization on Oswald. The document states Nikanov is now confident that Oswald was at no time an agent controlled by the KGB. The other point were the CIA warned. The trove includes a nineteen seventy that letter sent by a man named sergeiev A Somino to the British embassy. In it, he says he was detained in London and July sixty three and interviewed by authorities, where he claims to have told them of a plot by Oswald to kill the US president. He claims the Americans' vice consul Black Share, was allerde to Oswald's plans and was trying to defect their to the Soviet Union. But most of the documents, by the way, are not new, so it's just that people are relooking at them. A lot of this is sort of old stuff that people have kind of probably forgot about nineteen to eleven. How you're going people? Marcus on Midnight Line's Free talk about the sub formulate mile, talking about the alternate ways to go Auckland Farmerston North also talking about things that have remained the same price forever, like Jiff and I forget the other things that were mentioned. You might know, but jumping. If you want to talk, there's someone that texts me every night asking me for any product recalls. We have got one today. Kmart has recalled a pickle jar at risk of exploding. Kmart has recalled an Ancho branded glass pickle jar that's at risk of breaking or exploding, sold at Kmart for two years from February twenty twenty three to March this year. The affected product can break when you used to store certain fruit or vegetables and liquid fermented food stored and affected products can build up gas and cause the jar to explode or make the difficult to remove. It looks like a stupid product got no idea what it's for. I never know what to pick how pickling a pickle jar works, but it's quite complicated its construction. It came out spokes where I said the product had been recalled and confirmed customers could return to the store for a fef regardless of where that experience an issue. There you go as they should. By the way, I said it's twenty five to eleven, it's twenty five eleven, not twenty five to twelve. I got the time wrong. No surprises, there's seventeen to eleven if you want to get in touched Marcus still midnight eight hundred and eighty ten eighty sub for minut miles. How to charge your phone where it says the charging station is wet and that yellow arrow comes up. Wouldn't mind some comments about that also tonight, Marcus Tenny's still twenty bucks. Enjoying your show, Big Jay the Tracker. Thank you, Marcus. I feel that CDs have been around thirty bucks ever since the late eighties. What about plane fears? They've always remained the same, haven't they. The flight to Australia has always been about six hundred, and the flight to Europe's always been about two grand. It's about that for thirty years, forty years. It's probably some sort of economic theory about that. I guess flight's just got a lot cheaper. I don't even know how much of CD in you would cost these days they could buy them Marcus. I wonder in the Kennedy files what it might say about Jack Ruby and how he managed to get so close to Oswald. I was reading about Jack Ruby today. Jack rubin Stein interesting ran nightclubs in Dallas, But it seems as though it seemed as though when you ran nightclubs in Dallas in the sixties, you're quite often just hung at the police station because they were kind of your mates, and they were some of the people that went to your nightclubs, so you didn't He wasn't a particularly shady guy. I think there was some of the stuff was covered up because he was living with another man. I think that was some of the context that he was probably less than forthcoming. But he got cancer in jail, and his family interviewed him before he died, and he said he was acting alone. He was sort of kind of a bit of a hot head and was outraged by the assassination and the spin that people were trying to put on the assassination and thought, yep, I'll do something about that and shot them. And of course if you hadn't shot them, I don't think we had any of the conspiracies. And that was the way that that was the reason the conspiracy sprang was because the assassin himself was shot so soon after. Marcus, Sorry to ask a silly question, but what were these trade talks with India? And US wants to sell our milk and beef and cattle, but what do we buy from India? I asked the same question myself, and no one's really answered it for me. I got no idea. I presume it to all, what did you say? It was yesterday? Dan?
Dan?
What human resources? What does that mean? That's not really that's that's not really trade though?
Was it?
So?
Human resources? So we want them to staff call centers and things? But yes, trade probably education is a big thing to do, with a lot of education coming here. But yeah, I don't fully understand what we will. Yeah, I had that well explained to me at all six away from eleven, Good evening, Katie, it's Marcus welcome.
Oh, yes, Sunday, Marcus. I wasn't ring and tell you that I got married on the day person, I got married in honor on the day people when Kennedy was shot.
Wow.
Wow.
And my husband was only interested in reading all the papers in the days that followed. He was more interestant. He was more interested in that than being a new husband. But anyway, I got rid of him and got another night one.
I thought you must have Can you tell me what time, what stage of the wedding did they did the news come through?
Well, we were on a farm in North Otago and I had about quite a few brides, made huge wedding, and I think it was about one of the o'clock in the afternoon when we heard it, and that was the twenty third So it could have actually been got the twenty second over the air.
That makes it. That makes sense.
And I can read that if they were rushing around of the chill state because we'd just been told because they'd been shot. She was a great start from the marriage.
So Katie, Okay, So was the wedding in the country, right? Did someone have a radio?
We were out of the fun. We're still out on the front.
I was thinking, because if any any smart person would say look, the prisoner American's been shot, but it's Katie's big day. Let's keep it from us. Let's not tell anyone because you didn't have cell phones in those days, or it was carry a perchon.
So nothing like that. We were about twenty five miles from Obbery and we had this massive wedding and then it was all bad luck. Really. You know, I was very young when I got married the fifth time, and we were on our way to get our photographs taken in the old roy Gardens and we were all in this beautiful, big longmausine and the silly guy in a truck in front of us back into the back of a wedding car and broke those two big CuPy dogs that sit on the front of the wedding car. So that was sort of the second thing, you know, that day. I wondered if quite I should have been there.
We wonder why someone told people that it was happening, because you think they would have kept it front anyway.
Well, we had radio in those days, so we would have heard it on the radio.
But you wouldn't have had the radio. Maybe it was the cateriss, but you wouldn't have the wedding.
We were getting in dressed in our first dresses out of the out of Georgetown and then we drove them to Omru for the wedding. And it was a massive wedding. That news Sunday every day.
How old did that wedding last, Katie?
Six years?
Oh?
Yeah, well that's long enough.
A it was horrible.
Okay, don't ask, don't ask any more about that, Katie. But look at I'm pleased that you've rung up. Thank you for that. I'm not happy that that was horrible, by the way, Kennedy route, and I won't read that. I'll talk to you after the news about that. I'm just coming up to the break people, And after that we've got the Hour of Power HEATL twelve. My name is Marcus Good Evening and welcome.

I love a discussion about nut milks. People get quite offended by that. That's fine. I mean basically, what is milk? It's just pretty water with kind of protein to spend it. So we're kind of a thing, isn't it when you look at the purpose it fulfills? Anyway, get in touch you want to be part of the show. Twenty past eleven. Final flurry I'll call it the final flurry of the night's flowing by which I've enjoyed. Good evening, Russell, it's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Russell, Hey Marcus.
The question has to be asked when the cattle they're finished producing their milk or whatever, what do they do with the beef? Do they bury it or do they eat it?
It's a really good question. I think all these questions we need to have answered hopefully tonight.
Yeah, exactly.
And then can you use the leather? Because I know that there's some people, there's some people that respect the cows. But when they die, then they can use the leather.
They don't eat the meat, then no, But but a.
Dead cow you can use the leather because that's but I don't know that. I'll find out. Russell gave Marcus good evening soon.
A scared from Leston here.
What'd you say?
Honest Gay from Lesteront.
Nice to hear from you.
Yeah, good talk to you. I've been listening to your station for years, and I've done some deals with some Indians today on tractor parts.
Wow mm hmm.
Were they Were they in India?
I'm from India, but they're here in New Zealand and yeah, they brought some tractor parts of me.
What sort of parts.
John Dere?
Oh yeah, John, but what parts of the tractor?
I'm the three point lago James, the wonder box, the drop it them and the drawbar.
Oh yeah, yeah, do you see them? The second hand?
Oh they were? They were? John Deere won't replicate tractor parts, so they have to buy Genior wine. But the Indians are very good at producing cheap tractor parts.
Okay, well they seem to yeah, okay, market and that's like that's company casting them and everything.
Right, yeah, like replicating things like Massy Ferguson and international. But some companies won't let them replicate everything, you know, for so it becomes too cheap.
Okay, I appreciate that gave on us. Thanks that blear Marcus. Hello, Hello, highly welcome.
Yeah, welcome Marcus. Just just singing about the Indian what they give to us compared to what you know, without dairy and all that. Well, I find the cuisine is seems to be very good and a very cheap good obstin you know, to eat. I'm just saying that's one of the things that don't given New Zealand.
Oh absolutely, yeah, well given.
The world, yeah exactly, and obviously especially even in England. Now, I think the old carriers this other day instead of the old arm well it used to be.
Bang is a mess right yeah, yeah, but yeah, well that's that's all I have to say about I think, and a lot of their food should be eating a lot more because you don't see any over these Indians, do you.
Brilliant always like a it like that cheap. So the review on the Suzuki, they've texted back the person that's got the Suzuki, good car, no problems, great shape, all the mod cons and a good price. There we go. That's the person of driving home to Wakawai. T get in touch Marcus till twelve. Oh, have you ever seen the videos Indians using an old set up making basketballs and cricket balls. I've watched so many I've watched so many videos of food stools in India, and I can't get over how much car tooting there is. And I watched so many videos of manufacturing in India, whether it be basketballs or giant foundries with casting. It's extraordinary. Yeah wow. I mean, obviously you watch a lot of those videos and you worry about health and safety because they seem to be in sandals and they're carrying around giant blobs of molten metal. But to fascinating insight and those food stores, but a lot of those food stores have milk, a lot of them have involved they're always the other thing that amazes me about those food stores in India they always seem to serve drinks from those tiny bottles of coke. They've got no post bits or anything, have they, So I suppose you can't store it if you've got a street store. They're always sort of opening giant bottles of coke then putting that with other stuff. We'll not giant bottles, small bottles of coke always seems a bit quaint. Anyway, that's it for me. How you're going people? Twenty seven past eleven market. I can't work out why the night's flowing by. Marc has spent the evening planning an ultimate month long South Island camping road trip to Seba January. Just have to save the money. Now, we'll give the West Coast a wave. We'll give the West Coast wave as I passed your place, don't worry, won't stop. Marcus Mexico has banned sparing and killing of bulls in and after bullfighting. Not sure how long will last year. I read they were going to make it safe for I meant to go back and look at that. They're having robot bulls. Marcus Mexico has beenned sparing and king of bulls in and after bullfighting. Not sure how long it'll lasts. With bull fighting supporters pushing back on the national sport. At least they got ahead of safe who can't and won't kill rodeo in New Zealand because the lifestyle people have chosen just like bullfighting. Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know if Rodeo's will be around in fifty years. They don't have to worry about the footy gear. Now we can sort them with that, and we don't have to worry about Josticks. All down to Luxei boy, a true wheeler dealer. Someone said it's called buttered chicken, not marjorine chicken. Very good point, very good point. Thank you for that. And they could buy all of our they could buy all of our sheep. A lot of goats in the hills. I've noticed lately too, Marcus. I was nine when JFK was shot. It was late morning on a Saturday. I knocked on the neighbor's door to play with my friend. The mother answered door. She told me she heard on the radio the president of the United States would have been shot, and I should remember that date could be important day in history. Was on ZB could well have been Saturday morning. Well, I still reckon. They shouldn't have told people at the wedding take the whole focus off the bride, groom, groom. I'm not what you haven't managed to change the rodeo in Mexico. It's going to be a cruel, not the rodeo, the bull fighting. But yeah, there'll be a robot bill before long. I can guarantee it.
