Marcus Lush

News Talk, Zed Bean.

Okay, so I've got this bit of audio from Marcus Lush Nights, which Tim Roxburgh seems to be hosting at the moment.

It's weird, isn't it, when a show is called after a person and then it's not that person who's in charge.

Anyway, you can't just suddenly change it to Tim Roxburgh Nighttime Talk, can you? Can you? Anyway, he was doing it, and the cut is called Hotels Are Gross.

And then we're going to do some podcast roulette.

Now, it is on Marcus's show, but Marcus is actually on leave at the moment.

So it's Tim Roxburgh who's bringing us the podcast roulette.

We'll see if he's as, as, as proficient at it as Marcus is.

But first up, um, yeah, so a poll finally.

[laughs] We've managed to find a poll that, uh, is in National's favor.

News Talk ZB.

Okay.

Even Roy Orbison was, just before he died, was early 50s.

Newstalk's Ed B, Tim Roxborogh, in for Marcus Lush for the next two and a half weeks.

Really three weeks, but I just didn't do yesterday.

And it's great to be here.

You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from Newstalk ZB.

And a very good evening to you.

I'm Tim Beveridge in for Marcus for tonight, actually.

The trouble with films that say a company's got no common sense, you wonder how much common sense Gav's son's got, though, you know? That's the thing, isn't it? It's all relative.

Steve Marcus, evening.

How are you, mate? Yeah, good, Steve.

Yeah, good, Steve.

Oh, yes, podcast roulette, um, at the end of the podcast with, um...

Ah, it's from Marcus' show.

But before any of that, uh, so yeah, the, the youths, uh, they haven't registered, and even if they have, will they vote? What can you do, eh? What can you do?

And that's okay.

And you would have seen it multiple times.

Actually, there's a really great example from a couple of years ago with Marcus Lush, where he doesn't validate the caller's anxiety.

And that went viral because he didn't validate it.

And it was somebody who got really upset around, I think it was how they pronounce Tairi.

Power causes degeneracy is my only conclusion.

There used to be this thing many years ago, a little bit before my time, where if you had a dodgy cop, they would be sent to somewhere like Tomarunui, one of those little out-of-the-way places, and they'd either sort of live or not do so well there.

Oh, and Marcus Lush is who I was talking about, Idleweiss? Yeah.

But yeah, dodgy cops, unfortunately, are not a new thing.

Labour and their fiscal plan, that doesn't seem very well planned.

Cost of living generally, how are we feeling about that? And Marcus takes a train.

But before any of that, yes, with the election, I'm sorry, there is going to be a lot of election talk over the next few weeks for some reason.

Will you be strategic voting, even though people like Christopher Luxring are saying, please don't do strategic voting.

Don't worry,

I'm sure we'll be the first country in the world to solve it, though.

We're just going to finish up getting on the train with Marcus.

This time, not the CRL, though.
