The Hits, with a bonus podcast from Jono and Ben.
Marcus Lush hanging out with us in Invercargill this morning.
Marcus, we love your night-time radio show on Newstalk ZB.
You always start with the same song every night.
This one.
It seems weird, eh?
Well, no, but it's so you.
Every night I hear it, you're like, what is the significance of this song?
Is it Power of Love?
Yeah, but if ever there's a quiet night, you say,
shall we change the theme tune
and polarise it
so it's full boards all night?
Because people hate it
or people love it.
That's the whole key to it.
If ever there's nothing
happening in Talkback,
you go with that.
I don't know.
I just sort of like,
yeah.
Although it goes into
I Am Your Lady,
so we cut it out before then.
All right, yeah.
There must be some moments
when it's like
11 o'clock at night
and you're listening to a caller
going what on earth are you talking
about are there many of those moments Marcus
well I love my audience
I don't know
what you do with yours
sometimes you think
hang about
what actually are you trying to say you've got to wheel it right back
because you sort of go down this rabbit
and you might be looking at the text or Googling something at the same time
and think, hang on, bring me back here, where are we going with this?
And often think I might be John and Ben,
are they seeing how long they can actually talk?
Yeah, before you hang up.
Because everyone, all students do a game where you ring talkback radio
and see how long you can go for before you get cut off.
Hang on, hang on Marcus, just want Marcus. And that's quite an exciting game.
So I think it's one of you guys doing that.
So that's one of my major concerns.
Well, what we loved, speaking of your callers, was Bruce.
I think it was Brian, actually.
Oh, Brian.
Sorry, Brian.
Bruce is great, too.
Don't get me wrong.
Bruce is great.
But Brian was one of our favorite callers the other day.
And he called up.
And he was talking about the rugby, wasn't he?
And for some reason, he couldn't hear you.
Maybe he was playing that student game at all.
Here's a wee snippet of it, and Marcus trying to interrupt.
But Brian, Brian, sorry, Brian.
Hang, hang, hang, hang, hang, hang, hang, hang, hang on, Brian.
So, Brian, can I talk?
Can you hear me?
Brian, can you hear me?
Brian!
Brian, can you hear me? Brian, can you hear me? Brian! Brian, can you hear me?
Brian!
Can you hear me?
Brian!
Brian! Brian, can you hear me?
Sorry for people.
Brian.
You know, and what's the logic of taking Kane off?
And then you keep going and at the end he was like,
I was waiting for you to interrupt me.
So what happened there?
Makes you wonder what sport talk's like.
Most of the people go on sports talk.
Gay Darcy must just put them on and come back five minutes later and say,
but he had it so well
worked out.
I mean,
it was quite eloquent.
Yeah, he did.
If I was interrupting
him the whole time,
but he had no idea
he could.
No, he thought,
well, I've lost
Marcus,
but I'll keep ploughing
off.
But then I went back
to him and said,
I was waiting for you
to say something.
I think, well,
I've been talking
about guest sliding,
man.
I mean,
jeepers.
Now,
we're in Invercargill.
You've been here
for 20 years,
as you mentioned,
and what I appreciated about it, doing some research,
is it claims to be the southernmost everything.
So the southernmost McDonald's, the southernmost...
