Geologist Hugo Schmitt joins Buzz Radio to talk about rocks, but the team quickly steers the conversation toward astrology and birth times.

1. Buzz Radio NC is a daily talk show on NRJ New Caledonia, airing weekdays at noon and hosted by Yannick with a rotating team of contributors. 2. This April 9, 2026 edition features geologist Hugo Schmitt as a multi-day guest, introduced as someone who will 'talk about rocks.' 3. The episode opens with a running gag about new team member Thelma having asked everyone for their birth dates and times to calculate their astrological charts before her debut chronique. 4. Jean-Marc's late submission of his birth time — requiring him to call and wake his mother at 7am — is the episode's first extended comedic sequence, with his mother eventually finding his birth certificate entry: 5:20am. 5. Hugo Schmitt, described as a Capricorn, trained as an engineer (classes préparatoires then engineering school) rather than through the university geology route, and explains that university students typically know more pure mineralogy while engineering graduates cover more math and physics. 6. Hugo's favorite rock is obsidian — a volcanic glass formed when lava cools so rapidly it has no time to form crystals — which he references as the material used to kill White Walkers in 'Game of Thrones.' 7. A brief discussion establishes that geologists do lick rocks as a standard identification technique, with Hugo recommending nickel and quartz as particularly 'tasty' specimens. 8. The image-of-the-day segment covers a Belfast drone show in which 950 drones recreated the Titanic's departure from Southampton as a commemoration tied to the April 14 anniversary of the sinking; the spectacle was commissioned by producers of a BBC documentary on the Titanic. 9. The fake-news game presents three relationship-collapse stories; the real one is an Italian woman who received a scratch card from her partner on March 8 (International Women's Day), won 500,000 euros, and left without sharing. 10. The team debate following the lottery reveal covers whether keeping gift winnings is legally defensible — one host notes the couple had an oral agreement to share any winnings, which their lawyer is pursuing. 11. A science question segment reveals Chinese researchers are developing genetically modified phosphorescent plants — tested on orchids and chrysanthemums — as a potential future replacement for electric street lighting. 12. The host notes the practical challenge: cities have paved over most green space, meaning any plant-based street lighting solution would require replanting urban areas. 13. Thelma's debut chronique is structured as astrological portraits of each team member, based on full birth chart calculations including sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign. 14. Yannick (Cancer sun, Virgo moon, Sagittarius rising) is described as charismatic and large in presence on air, but underneath 'a hypersensitive Cancer who needs his personal space like other people need oxygen' — the portrait he confirms as strikingly accurate. 15. Christelle (Leo sun, Cancer moon, Pisces rising) is framed as deceptively soft in appearance but with a Leo's sharp memory and strong opinions, 'a royal lion hidden behind an angelic Pisces face.' 16. Steven (Gemini sun, Virgo moon, Cancer rising) is described as the good-vibes incarnate who never closes his mouth, transitioning unpredictably from life of the party to ghost. 17. Laetitia (Gemini sun, Taurus moon) is noted as appearing footloose but secretly attached to routines, 'probably in the same parking spot for three years, and woe to anyone who takes it.' 18. Jean-Marc (Taurus sun, Sagittarius moon, unknown rising) is cast as a passionate, generous conversationalist who 'installs himself in a subject and stays there until the last anecdote.' 19. The episode runs long due to Thelma's chronique and the host announces the debrief will continue the following day with Hugo returning. 20. Listeners who enjoy French-language morning radio banter, astrological personality humor, and light science segments will find the episode immediately accessible; those seeking news coverage will find the format entirely entertainment-oriented.
