Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News
Talks at.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be Greetings, Welcome, good evening, eight oh seven, seven past eight.
My name is Marcus Heatl twelve o'clock tonight. Wow, it's
funny old things that songs do here, isn't it. I
was walking through pack and Save before work found myself singing.
I was singing Trump's walk on song, Proud to be
an American. That's just creepy. Heard it twice. She's all

(00:33):
in my head going round and around worm he wormed me. Anyway.
I know Darcy's covered a little bit of it tonight too,
but I just want to also say that, and I've
talked about this in the past, but looking at this
South Island bid for the NRL interesting if they had

(00:55):
the press conference for that, the release in Sydney. It's
just been picked up by the Australian media. Now, ah,
shiver me Timbers. I am all in because for the
first time so far, I think we've got these Australian rugby,
all these Australian sports competitions, right with the New Zealand

(01:18):
teams single New Zealand teams, but now with the football,
we've got two New Zealand teams and that match between
the Wellington and the Auckland team phenomenal. It's our local derby.
I am loving this and if we have a christ
Church and Auckland team, I'm all behind the christ Church team.
What do they called the Dolphins. I don't like that name.
I don't love that name. It's okay though, I can

(01:39):
handle it. Why they call themselves the I've I got
that one right. Anyway, I'm all in. I think it's
a fantastic thing, A long way at last, So very
very excited about this. Low Graham Lowe, he's a good unit.
Seems to get things done on either the Yorkers you
don't mind that they got three on sixty million or

(02:02):
they you know it's it's well, the whole posles got three.
I know that old pet of Land he said, you
need sixty million up front to get in. I don't
think Papua New Guinea's going to happen. That was going
to be paid for by the government to stop China
getting in there, and the perth Ones miles away, that's
too far to travel. Christ Church would be sensational, extremely
excited about that. And look, I think they could go there.

(02:24):
I think they could win. I think now enough is
known about new teams going into the NRAL to get
it right, get the right coach, get the right cattle,
get the support. Christ Chich would go nuts for that maybe,
and the players would be there. Who's come from there? Todd, Brent, Todd,
Tutor anyway, there's all sorts of players that come from

(02:46):
christ Church and Canterbury. So your leg's big in the
South at the moment. So extremely excited about that. So
you've got something else to add about that. There are naysayers,
but something about that screams like it's going to happen.
I don't quite know the way they've gone about it.
Seems a bit back to front to me. I know
the other groups getting involved with it. There was one
group by David Moffatt. He'd got off script number of

(03:09):
times and had some pretty crazy things of recent time,
so kind to me, had marginalized himself. But to me
this is a big deal, quite excited by it. Nine
past eighth, eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty. You might
have something to add about that, You might want to comment,
looking forward to what you've got to say. There we go.
I know you've covered off in some ways with Darcy,
but I just think two New Zealand NRL teams would

(03:32):
be exponentially better than one. It would be better than
twice as good, it would be four times as good.
It'd also be good for our New Zealand League teams
as well too, local teams. You could try things out,
all sorts of stuff. Very excited by that. The brand
new stadium. They need a team to play because it's
face that no one much is turning up to the NPC,

(03:55):
not so much as Super Rugby, but we don't know
how much longer that's going to be around. So to
have something that's going to be there every fortnight at
that stadium, I think that's going to be absolutely fantastic.
And a lot of people would travel too between Auckland
and christ Rich for the local derbies. You get your
pub social clubs. Oh hey, bade guys, let's go this
year to see the old go see the local derby.

(04:17):
Let's go up and see them take on the Warriors. Yeah,
why don't we. We're putting ten dollars a week. You
know how those things happen, up, they go and then
they go anyway, So all on this, very very excited.
I'll be a season ticketer for that. I reckon, I reckon.
I would make the drive up there for that. That
would get me going, or the flight, or even a train.
You put a special train on brilliant Marcus. Unless they

(04:41):
courage cow bells, I've got no interest. We need something
more than a cow bell, not the chainsaw, although that
was good m anyway, I hope the stadium is a goodie.
But yeah, I love the NRL and I just love
the fact that they managed to grow it in a
sustainable way. I would have liked to have seen the

(05:01):
Dolphins to have done better this year, but yeah, goes
good anyway. Oh waighten eighty ten eighty. And I don't
think it'll be negative on the Warriors. I just think
I'll make the Warriors. I mean, they're not sort of
a local. They're not getting all their players locally anyway.
But it will be great for the game in the country.
There'll be a lot more people playing the game and
not going overseas to play the game because there will

(05:23):
be pathways. That's my understanding anyway. And when you see
the viewer figures, it seems the younger generation of nuts
about the NRL. They watch it, they want to play
the game. That's my understanding. Anyway, Bigger the schools finally
get in touch. Marcus Till twelve thirteen past day, Josh, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, hey, Marcus, Josh, let.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Me put my headphones on. Good just god good good
good good?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah? Am I coming and clear?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Am I?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm giving you audio quality wise eight out of ten.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Awesome.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Awesome, Marcus so whatevers to the Warriors of if another
team because they're calling themselves New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Worry, Yes, okay, why are they doing that?

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Were they ever the Walkland Warriors.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I always thought they were the Auckland Warriors, and I
don't and I've always thought, I'll go look at the
old You've got to get a jersey from ninety five.
I'll look at a nineties ninety five Warriors jersey. I'll
tell you. I always thought they were the orcand Bodified Warriors.
I just thought that the New Zealand thing came along

(06:35):
a little bit later.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
So what would they have to be if if there's
another team, because they couldn't be the New Zealand they'd
have to be the either the Auckland or the South
Aukland or whatever.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
They were always a question.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
They were always just the dB Bitter Warriors. I think
dB Bitter was on the front. I didn't say New
Zealand anywhere on their jersey.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
The question, the question I'd like to ask side is
it's Auckland big enough to have two teams?

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Now?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
What would be an Auckland want to be in christ Jurch?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, could we have another one in Auckland as well?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Or I'm sure you could. I mean look, I mean look,
I mean Brisbane's almost got three teams. When you look
at the ones nearby, you've got the.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yes, Sydney's got a.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
City's got eight eight. Yeah, well you've got Sir George Lawara,
which is combined between the bottom of downtown. You got Georgie.
You've got eight and I think, yeah, so that would
that would go well, I'm just trying to think. If
you've got eight, you've got also, Marcus, you're like the

(07:43):
interrupting guy from a plane joke.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Hey the ladies the other night, Marcus Max Max, Hey,
that was terrible mate, Oh my gosh. Anyway, anyway, the bulls,
I thought Canterbury were keen on the name of the
Bulls or do they want to reserve that for the
amateur grade.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
I think this.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I don't know. I think there's three different teams going.

Speaker 8 (08:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
You can't get hopped on the names, I don't think
because the names won't last forever, or maybe they will.
But you don't be worried about the biguil of the
New Zealand Warriors. That doesn't prevent anything, do you kind
of perty Marcus welcome?

Speaker 9 (08:22):
Yeah, Hi, Marcs just wanted to say, because I was
there working. We were the dB Bitter Warriors when we
first started, was sponsored by DV.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I've seen that on the Jersey. And when did they
become Patty? When did they become the New Zealand Warriors.

Speaker 9 (08:40):
Look, I can't I think I think it changed when
we went to Super League.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I can't.

Speaker 9 (08:46):
I think everything changed then. Remember there was a split
with the arl and Super League and then when maybe
we split back I just can't quite remember, or maybe
when there was a change of ownership. Russell Stanners, who
was the CEO of wasn't was a year both Fine

(09:08):
came on board with both and yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
In two thousand and one they were rebranded as the
New Zealand Warriors, which I don't like because it's very
much an Auckland team.

Speaker 9 (09:21):
We were the Auckland were known as the Auckland Warriors first,
but I just don't remember quite. Somebody will probably.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Ring up brilliant okay, Patty, thanks for that. Nice to
hear from you. Oh wait, I just think it works.
And so many levels have two local teams, the local
derby that would sell out, have the social clubs going
and be huge because you see how big it is
when the Dolphins played Brisbane. And there's also to other
local derbies when you've got mainly playing well, when you've
got the Rabbitdos playing the Roosters, I think they call

(09:53):
that a local derby. By the way, league's extremely strong
in christ Church. I think the top school boy teams
from there also. Marcus, what about expanding this to a
league in football for Canterbury and league team for Wellington
A trilogy? Knoll Marcus populished of Canterbury six hundred and

(10:14):
ninety four thousand. I'll be getting to a million by
twenty thirty. It's huge. Canterbury six hundred ninety four thousand,
It seems to me that three quarters of the people
in the South Island live in Canterbury. Don't have a
problem with that, but seems very focused there, doesn't it.

(10:39):
Get in touch, Marcus till twelve back at your eight hundred.
You know the rest head on midnight, it's all on.
It's all on. If you're all on, get in touch,
get those texts coming through. So much to talk about tonight.
I'd be as excited as a second team in Canterbury

(10:59):
as I would be for second team in Auckland. I
think a second team in Auckland would be absolutely huge.
And I think too that the NRL gives us a
fair a fair go these days. I think they finally
embraced the Warriors, and I think they would not have
a problem with expanding the game with the New Zealand.

(11:23):
Of course, the problem is if you put an extra
team and then every team's percentage of the rights goes
down a bit, But there'd be ways to make that
up with an entrance fee and with ticket sales, and
particularly if you've got a city like christ Church. We've
got no regular sporting franchises for the city to support,

(11:47):
apart from the team in the Basketball League. And that's
a really short season. And the the good thing about
the NL it goes just about all the year. Let's
go for thirty weeks. Does it go to sort of

(12:08):
March through to October? Kenneby Rams is the local team
down there up there, down there around there. That's all
they've got. Get in touch, Marcus till twelve. Here's a
question for you. How many eggs is it right to
eat a week? Sometimes you go to the supermarkets, people
with trays and trays of eggs. What are they doing?

(12:31):
Are they having like raw eggs, smoothies or ten eggs
a day? How many eggs would you eat? Who buys
these giant trays, when do they store them? And how
many It seems like there's one hundred eggs there. I
don't know what people are doing. I yess they're anying
a lot of eggs. Maybe it's because the eggs went
up and prices we couldn't get them, and now it's

(12:51):
kind of the feast after the famine. We've gone egg crazy.
It looks like there's people are doing about twenty a day.
I'm not joking, Rob, nothing wrong.

Speaker 8 (13:09):
You can never eat too many eggs. Eggs the greatest
food you can you can eat me on the house.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I thought that was you got an onion, You've got
a meal.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
Try living onions, mate. You won't be so many people
to people living next door to you.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
No, how would you know when you've had too many eggs?
I mean, have you tried?

Speaker 9 (13:37):
I do know.

Speaker 8 (13:38):
I've got staff that work for me that that eat
too many eggs and yeah, but too much protein but
hard on the kidneys. You can't eat too many eggs.
But the reason is people are eating so many eggs
is because meat and fish is so expensive at the moment.
If you ever looked at the price of beef, there's

(13:59):
a shortage of beef around.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Australian beef coming in because we're getting such a big
demand for grass feed beef yeah, around the world, so
they're getting better prices overseas.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
So people have gone for the cheapest form of protein
that they can get, and that seems to be eggs.
Is that you're understanding, But I probably don't export them
as much. That's the thing We're probably not that we're
probably not The egg farmers aren't aren't responding to it,
aren't vulnerable to international pricing pressure because they probably don't

(14:30):
travel that.

Speaker 8 (14:31):
Well, no, we don't export a lot of eggs MW Zealand,
but there is a lot of bird flow around the
world and they just lost a million hens in in
Australia early this year.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
And are you are you are you with the egg
marketing board?

Speaker 10 (14:49):
Well kind of.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
I suppose I work for an egg company. I'm a
sales manager for a company that sells eggs.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
We've got This is excellent that I've got. You do
have to check out the interview. So are the figures
indicating that people are going through the roof with the eggs?

Speaker 8 (15:04):
Yes, you're right, because there's actually a two plus of
the egg at the moment. I forget with exact number
of eggs. When we get around about three million, three
point eight million laying birds in the country, it's it's
sort of okay, But once we start getting fifty two
hundred thousand above that, then it gets to be a
saturation point where you've got to sell moon more eggs,

(15:26):
so then you've got to drop the price. So yeah,
it's a it's a bit of a balancing act. Chickens
lived all for about eighty two weeks, and so Once
you've got all your flocks laying, you've got to pay
for their feed, so the eggs has got to be sold.
They keep coming off the convey but every day, Christmas

(15:47):
Day as well. Nothing to do about it, because.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
There was there was a while back, probably thirty years back,
that they thought eggs were bad for you. But you
don't hear anything like that anymore, do you.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Oh, no, not at all.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
There's a lot that've heard about the eggs, the amino
acids and proteins and the eggs that you can't get
from anything else. Generally, truly the perfect food.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
An egg.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
You'll can you your body will burn the same amount
of calories that you can consume to digest it. Digesting
an egg as one of the hardest things your stomach
will ever do.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Oh, so that's a superfood.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
It's a superfood, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
Buy more eggs, definitely, So.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
You're just getting the protein. But you're not putting on
any weight by eating eggs.

Speaker 8 (16:34):
No, I don't know, you won't. You won't get you
won't put on weight buyting too many eggs. It's all
the stuff you eat with the eggs. It's all the
bread and butter and toast, and all that sort of thing.
But if you just lived on eggs, you you wouldn't
put on a lot of weight.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
No way, Because I.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Used to say seven. I used to say seven a
week was an up limit. But I'm sing people they
must be eating seventy they're buying that many from the shops.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Oh no, I eat two eggs every day, but I
know people that eat three or four or six eggs
every day. But it's you've got to eat stuff other
stuff with it. You've got to be exercising and you know,
doing work as well. Like you said, the other did
nothing and eight a dozen eggs every day. But if
people are I know, I'm alan and people do buy

(17:14):
tray of the eggs and scramble the whole tray and
put it on the table for kids for dinner.

Speaker 11 (17:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
Yeah, when things are tough.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
So okay, good to hear that. For coming to rob
It's good to get you. You're quite a discovery. Here's
the eggman from the got the old egg marketing board
straight through. In the Rugby League, I guess the trouble
with having so many too many teams in the NRL
is that the season would be longer. Well, not necessarily
just said more buys Marty, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (17:39):
Yeahs is great to have the expert egg expert.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
You're too good, mind you you as far as the
egg expert on front up? Straight away, I'd say, Marcus
are the egg expert. You can't have too many rather
be having dragged out of him you.

Speaker 12 (17:52):
Didn't want to name his company, No, no, that's right,
your eggs. So we're having a good time with our
egg production at the moment. On the farm, we're getting
about twenty a day from our eighteens. Yes, so I
think it could be. It could be, Marcus, the time
of the season as well, like it's spraying, it's cool.

(18:13):
The chicken is quite like laying in the sort of conditions.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
What do you do with the excess? Or is eighting
a day enough for your family?

Speaker 12 (18:20):
Wow, it's probably It's probably pretty good. We share them
between three families. Oh yeah, And but I'll tell you what, Marcus.
The chickens are eating a lot of food at the moment,
so I don't know if we are winning with the
amount of chicken feed on buying.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
What are the other families giving you in return? Is
there some sort of quid pro clothing or it's just there's.

Speaker 12 (18:43):
A bit of Fiji and pig hunting meat and fish
that goes around. We are not bartering, but just you know,
when you've got a throplus you sort of feed it
out to everyone.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
What's Fijian pig? Is it something I'm not from it?
Are they pigs from Fiji?

Speaker 12 (19:01):
No, it's just Fiji and pig hunting gangs and he's
on yeah, oh yeah, just go and get packed in
the bush. Yeah, it's pig hunting is quite bag in
Fiji as well. Yeah, you wouldn't think.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
There'd be that much. Well yeah, okay, I know that
on a work trip. I've heard plenty of people going
pick hunting. I've heard pig hunting stories, but yeah, I
don't know. Is there a big wild population there.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
Do?

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (19:26):
Yeah, I think I just like Australia, America everywhere that's
got some bush and some farmland, get the odd pick
that gets out and then let's find another pagan you've.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Got are making Are you making this up?

Speaker 9 (19:37):
Or do you know?

Speaker 12 (19:40):
It's it's like how rabbits got out and other sort
of farming.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay, I'm gonna look more into that. Pig hunting and Fiji.
We want talking about pick Unting on the show, Marty,
thank you welcome. We've got to show. We are talking
about two teams and you said in the NRL this
one seems more serious because Peter Landy said a lot
of these teams aren't even in the picture because you
need sixty million. But this team does seem to have
sixty million. We've got three and sixty million. So yeah,
I'm not put money in. I'm into this. It's what

(20:06):
the South Island needs. The South Island's going to become
the center of the country. I reckon, I'm a what
am I? I am a proud No what am I?
I'm just trying to think where I am where. Yeah,
I'm not a south I'm not a regionalist, bore or

(20:27):
a cut the cable type person. But I do think
that a I do think that countries that have two
major cities there is economic benefits from countries that just
have one major city and the rest is just small towns,

(20:49):
like the way New Zealand was going. But now with
christ Church booming or Canterbury booming, I forget which was
the country that just had one big city and nothing
much else. It might have been and it was a disaster,
either that or Paraguay.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
I think it was.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I don't know what the population of Uruguay is, but
I think Monte Video was the capital. I've got that
one right anyway. And eggs, how many is too many?
So I want to talk about tonight eggs and pig
hanging Fiji. I'm big on that if I never thought

(21:36):
there was such a thing as pig hunting there, but
now I've been proven that there is. Maybe, Marcus Ivann
egg every day. Today was a double yoka with my
lunch noodles. Marcus breakfast baking pies for it. As the
list goes on, the loonies are still additing Upper hutletting

(21:57):
off their fireworks really loud every night for a week.
My poor wee dog. I think two days after guy
fawks is not unreasonable because this weekend people probably hold
them over all. This sad day will be big and
then that's it done and dusted for another year. Marcus,
I've never brought a thirty egg tray saw a man

(22:18):
purchasing one. This helps sway my mind back into my
important diet. The bigger the yolk, the more the calories
really what's in the white? I've never really understood calories.
What's in the album?

Speaker 9 (22:38):
And is that?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Because that's what sometimes people will have, don't they? The
last for a egg white omelet joy sounds a bit
uptight to me. I think that's a bodybuilder sype trick. Yeah,
I don't know what's I guess the whites all the protein. Ah,

(23:00):
it's going to sustain the egg, is it? And incubates.
Maybe that's where the lipids are. Oh, pavl overseason soon too?

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Eh?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
With old Christmas coming along? Get in touch Heittle twelve.
I hate something Christmas related to say today. Oh, there's
a lot of there's a lot of Facebook posts coming
up that are about making your own Carl No, you're

(23:34):
making your own Carl lure No, making your own baileies,
making your own baileies for Christmas gifts, begs not. But
I think people are doing that. I think Jamie Oliver's
got a recipe. I don't know what you'd put in it,

(23:56):
homemade Irish cream Hitdle twelve. My name's Marcus Lurie.

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Welcome Marcus. Hey, my wife was what that is that
Nadia's Farm program? A few weeks ago I had a
look at it, but she was wasn't part of one
of her major recipes or anything. But she was talking
away and feeding her children, and she's making up some
porridge and then she cracked an egg into it.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh that's disgusting. Mental that sounds surprised by that.

Speaker 13 (24:28):
And then she threw a whole lot of peanut butter,
and as.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, thought I do that, but not the egg. What
I like the best about this call, Laurie, is that
you couldn't admit that you're watching it. You had to
say that my wife was watching it, and I had
a lot just accally couldn't help yourself. I've enjoyed that greatly. Anyway.
Did she say, why not the wife?

Speaker 13 (24:49):
But no, Well, she said, because he loves it.

Speaker 12 (24:53):
Apparently.

Speaker 13 (24:53):
You know, there was a two year old or two
or three year old he got it and he was
spreading it all over his face. Basically, Jesus, what a
high protein ready, Yeah, and you know he would right
into it pretty sure it was peanuts.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
She's always she's always struck me, has been quite sensible,
Nadia Lum. She always struck me as been quite well
grounded and sensible. So I can't imagine she'd be causing
outrage with a food crime. But it does seem surprising,
doesn't it, or some sort of porridge crime.

Speaker 13 (25:21):
But yeah, I mean she obviously figured that growing children
need protein, and apparently it all blended in. You know,
it was at the stage it's sort of the peanut
butter as well. That's got to be the breakfast food
or champions.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, but I mean some of these terrible, these giant
trays of eggs, you got to use them, so you
always thinking of ways to kind of get the eggs away. Yea, yeah, yeah,
was it the whole show, Laurie? Was it just a
tiny bit that you saw?

Speaker 13 (25:52):
It did get on to the main subject. He was
making whiskey and all they were all into all sorts
of other stuff as well, but and I had other
catering of sort of clients. But no, it was was
just as an aside. That was really as she was
chatting away out the days for what they were getting
up to, and she was making breakfast at the same
time and just non truly correct an egg and I thought,

(26:15):
it's so it doesn't seem normal to me.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, Okay, let's go. It's a good topic they're getting
into that NAARTI eleven the egg and the porridge. Of
course you'd learned everything. This is the show for long enough.
I think she's central Targo way she brought the farm.
I'm getting touched Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty, the second team in the rugby league. I'm
all into that eggs and your porridge. Someone will have

(26:37):
done that. You might have done something about it yourself.
Getting touched, Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.
Anything else you want to mention, feel free. You are
more than welcome. Any international news. I'll bring that to
you for tepling. It will happen here. I think with
the election and stuff, we didn't really cover all the stuff.

(26:59):
With fireworks and guy forks, I think that seemed to
have gone all right. Yeah, get in touch. Marc is
still twelve oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
two nine two to text. Australia is still looking to
ban social media for the under sixteens. Albanisi's doing this

(27:25):
table in Parliament next week. This one is for the
mums and dads. They let me worried sick about the
safety of our kids. Online. I want to know the
Australian families. I want the Australian families to know that
the government has your back. He says. The band will
not apply to those young people already on social media.
Why not eggs and Porridge. Yep, that's the thing. Wouldn't

(27:47):
have known if I hadn't started the show tonight. So
I've learned something that's good for me. Get in touch
if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty nine to nine two to text, Looking forward to
hearing from you. In a second NRL team for music
in this new this new proposal, it's got some of

(28:09):
the heavy hitters involved, which it needed to have. It's
causing some discussions in Australia already, but on the back
of the two teams going so well well, I think
they're going well as far as the tenth goes in
the Australian Football Leager. I think it's a great thing.

(28:30):
I think it's a great thing. So you might want
to mention that and talk about that. Eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine nine to text eighteen from nine.
I guess we'll watch with interest the social media band
in Australia for children, Marcus, why do we have to
use honorifics on all letters, not to be confused with

(28:52):
titles I, doctor, proff earl, lord, baron, dame that people
have earned, to deserved or paid for. It's the mister
missus miss on correspondence. Sorry, but to me, miss has
always had like a bumblebee. The only time honorifics coming
handy out of express respect for the boomers, and when
you're trying to figure out the gender of a new client.
That's yeah. I'm not a big fan of honorifics. Mind,

(29:14):
if you're man, it's always mister, isn't it's not master. Yeah,
they can probably get in the bin. I'm not talking
to my talkback call of saying mister this, mister that
am I Marcus, I'm thinking it would be eggy tasting,
more like turning the porridge, more like custard. When I

(29:37):
say about custard, the platypus is the only animal that
can make its own custard eggs and milk. It's a
lactating egg layer. Pretty amazing that a mayo is made
with rory egg. Mostly, I believe you can make it
with a boiled egg Chinese porridge is basically rice just

(29:58):
cooked up with excess amount of water, and yes, putting
an egg within it is common. I've had a number
of times I've had that orange. I've never had an
egg in it, and I've never seen an the egg offered.
It's living on the list, but you know, we live
when we learn with talkback Kong. Is it called congi

(30:21):
kon gi Kong? There's an egg in it?

Speaker 14 (30:23):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Normally you can sprinkle things like little anchovies or something,
or some pickles. It's delicious. I've never cracked an egg
in it. And on the wiki, Peter it's over and
saying you could put an egg in it.

Speaker 15 (30:40):
Hang On.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Originating Guangdong. The century egg Congi has become a nationwide
hit since the two thousandths. It's first test on the
menu of the KFC in Shanghai. So it is a thing.
It's a big thing. Sixteen to nine. My name is Marcus.
So how many eggs? What's the most amount of eggs

(31:03):
you've eaten in a week? Of one guy from Melbourne?
What was he having? Like fifty dozen or something? Remember him?
Real eggy guy rang up one time World's Explore on
everything he was buying, like thousands of eggs. Did he
eat fifty dozen? He's probably dead. It'd been your factpile
somewhere there, Dan Man, it's lots of eggs. It's a lot,

(31:28):
like it was a lot. It was fifty dozen. His
cagey sort of a unit wasn't to us Why we
went back and forwards to Melbourne the whole time. Something
weird going on there, like he's a drug courier or something,
or an egg courier. Get amongst it people, eight hundred

(31:51):
and eighty, ten, eighty and nineteen nine. Who was the
text number? Hitdle twelve. How's bitcoin today? How's your bitcoin?
It's still going up and up and up and up
he went, talking a bitcoin for a long long time.
Now down today on the hangover, wonder why it's casppose
it goes up, it comes down. People sell make the profit.

(32:13):
That the way it works. By the way, it looks
like Lord Lucan might have been found. I'll keep your
posts on that big d BBC show about that airing
tonight four or seven away from nine. Hello, Paul, it's
Marcus good evening good Margus.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Paul driving over work again. I was having Vietnam a
little while ago in a strange thing, very strong coffee,
and then drop an egg in it, bit a condensed milk,
stir it up vigorously, and wow it is something else.

Speaker 16 (32:43):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Okay, so obviously it's out of the obviously it's out
of the shell.

Speaker 17 (32:47):
Right.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, other was a bit crunchy, are you okay?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I thought there might have been some process might go on,
but I'm sort of answering my own questions now, okay,
And does the year get cooked? Is the heat of
the coffee cooked the egg?

Speaker 17 (33:00):
No?

Speaker 4 (33:00):
No, no, no, you just drop the egg in. It's
dick starts to get warm. Screwed the coffee. Yeah, you're
gonna have the brew coffee. You know, instant doesn't work
very well. Yeah, bruce coffee out of the coffee machine,
drop an egg in it, but a condensed smelve on
top of you, a little bit of sweetness put them,
put the sprain and the end. Shake it up vigorously,

(33:23):
Absolutely delicious.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
How would it taste different? Is it just creamy or
could you describe it?

Speaker 15 (33:29):
It's like uga lop.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I'm glad that sounds unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, noogah, yeah, very smooth, very suggy just slides down.
It's it's predicative, but it's very nice.

Speaker 9 (33:45):
So you put the.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
The curriery, the condi and first then the coffee. Then
they crack the egg on the top.

Speaker 14 (33:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Do you think someone would be doing that locally? It
sounds that good.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I don't know why not.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Well, you go to a night Mark you want to
be doing that? Queue up for that?

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (34:05):
Oh poor.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
It's a broadening world talk back these days. I loving
that egg coffee, egg coffee that you might bang some
sugar in it. Also, I'm into that eggs and porridge,
eggs and coffee. Strange things you've done with the eggs

(34:27):
and how many is too many? And the second NRL
team New Zealand it's not confirmed yet, but I'm all in.
I'm already. They're the Orca and that's fine. I don't
care about the name. There's some stupid names. This is

(34:49):
a great this is a great story. This happens because
the Dora meal talk yep. I leave your front up
with a sixty million're in and like Careen, that's that's
what they want. And you get thirty thousand there with
the new stadium in christ churichh you get twenty there

(35:11):
every week. I reckon you get some marquee player on
the on the down, on their way out, human headline.
I know how you'd go and get you'd be plenty there.
Get to disco or someone build the team around them.
Maybe they're good for one or two years. Check a
rugby league player across, so a rugby union player across.
Don't know who that would be you, but like the

(35:33):
starting of the Warriors all over again, I'm into this
be huge for the South Island. I know they love
their rugby, but there's not much they can go to anymore.
They get the Super Rugby, but that's it's short and
it's not that interesting. Then you've got your NPC. Well
that's been depowered because none of the players are in it.

(35:56):
Bang We're Away eight hundred eighty ten eighty nineteen nine text.
I didn't know that John Hinckley who Reagan was out.
He's a folk singer, spent thirty years in Psychaetric and
it was insane.

Speaker 15 (36:14):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Focusing. I don't know what his music's like, but I
guess you can go on YouTube and listen to it. Boom,
Away we Go, Hitdle twelve hour area, what's happening? Ah,
seven weeks cheapest to Christmas? What have any days left?
And think it's probably six seven, seven, five thirty five
ony days? Thirty five days of the show's left. The
last week will be the best of Well, it won't
be the best I will be. I'll be asking you

(36:37):
the best ofs like I don't know why we asking? Actually,
let's do that when we're there. The topic for this
hour is quite straightforward. The strangest thing you've done with
an egg? People, I think, once upon a time would
crack them in their radiator? Am I right with that?
That would stop leaks? I don't think that happened to anymore.

(37:01):
I think you go super cheap and buy something else
called radiator stop. I think it used to be eggs,
eggs and the radiator of banana skins and the differential.
I might be wrong, but the strangest thing you've done
with an egg and coffee in the porridge? Who cracks
an egg in the bath? I think that might have

(37:24):
been on what I lie to you, But I think
someone cracked an egg in the bath. I don't know
why you do that for your skin? Anyone do that?
Do you want to pretend to do that. So strange
things you've done with the eggs or the strangest thing
and the second inn url Tim for New Zealand, I'm

(37:46):
huge on this. I'm huge. What New Zealand hasn't got
these days because the NPC has been depowered, we haven't
got a huge great exciting local derbies. That's what you want.
You want those sporting clashes that people tell stories for

(38:07):
from about from generation to generation. So yeah, if the
christ just get the Orcas. Don't like the team named
the Orcers, but that does. That's a small problem. I
don't know why you're gonna name teams after animals. It
was Bob Mortimer that does the egg in the bath.
He'd been with someone. I'll tell you who did it
was Chris Rea told him how to do it. It
was Chris Rea. Between Dan and myself we get most stories.

(38:31):
I'm right out o Dan. He's sang the woman in
red woman and read anyway it was a lie? Was
a truth? No, he's very good. Bob Mortimer on that
that is a lie. Very good show that one. The
British one would I lie to you? What's free?

Speaker 9 (38:48):
Good?

Speaker 2 (38:49):
They have a guy come out and there's three people
say who the guy or a woman a woe man?
And they say that person is either very good anyway,
I've just seen videos pop up. I don't know what
TV channel it's on. It feels like it'd be sort
of a channel seven on the sky remote. I'd like
the scarrimoke to be all the numbers to be condensed.

(39:10):
I'm sick of going up to around one hundred and four.
I'd like all the good channels between about one and twenty.
That would do it for me. Gee must be on
co old Donald Trump's kid if he's not playing basketball?
Is that all you'd sign him up? Surely, wouldn't you
if you had a half coordination Anyway, she supposed we

(39:34):
shouldn't focus on people's height. Good evening, Audrey, it's Marcus.
Welcome him, Marcus.

Speaker 18 (39:43):
My husband just called out and so that you were
talking about the strange things that people do with eggs.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yes, you got a good husband.

Speaker 10 (39:49):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (39:51):
No, it's just I've just got something that's I don't
know where I've picked it up or why I do it,
but I always take the anchors off the eggs when
I poach an egg or cooking eggs.

Speaker 7 (40:03):
Yes, and I don't know why, but I just don't
like them.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
On the eggs.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
You always take the what off.

Speaker 18 (40:12):
The anchors, all the eggs, you know, attaches the yolk
to the to the bochildren.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
You must be a special sort of a person because
I haven't really noticed them.

Speaker 18 (40:29):
I don't think a lot.

Speaker 8 (40:30):
Of people have.

Speaker 19 (40:31):
Actually the market.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Wait, you must have good site, you must have good sight.

Speaker 18 (40:41):
No, it's just a little wriggly things, and I just
don't like them.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
What do you get it out with.

Speaker 20 (40:48):
Very quickly?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
What if you okay, I appreciate it's a good story.
Or do we thank you strange things for the eggs?
Audrey releases the anchor fancy calling. I don't even know
is it the umbilical cord? I don't even know what
that is?

Speaker 13 (41:02):
Is it the what is it?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I don't think anyone knows. Actually it was a lie.
Didn't crack an egg in the bath? But someone will.
I don't even know what the E connector is called
or what it does. But that was good, Ah, your lady,
and read was christ Burr not Chris Rae might have
been one or the other. Anyway, Soon as I said that,
I was in dodgy territory marc as stepdaughter put egg
through her hair as she heard it was good for

(41:25):
it came time to watch it out scrambled eggs a
panic kid. I wouldn't put an egg near my hair.
I don't love an egg. Mark's My grandmother had to
put eggs in her custard delicious? What else did Chris?
Was it Chris Ray or Chris De Burgh? It was

(41:48):
Chris Chris Ray Aria. I don't know what his songs were,
but I think didn't he sing who's your favorite?

Speaker 12 (41:57):
Chris?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Chris Ray or Chris de Burr? I quite like Christ Burr.
They were both of the time. But thanks for people
correcting me. I'm enjoying this. I'm sorry for being a corrector.
Chris de Burgh sang Lady and Radio had one of
those fast, fast vibrato voices. Chris Rahere sings on the Beach,

(42:17):
which is a great song. He's got a smooth, husky voice.
Both big voices. I think it's fair to say the
strangest thing you have done with an egg or the
strange strangest use for an egg? Am I right about
the radiators. I think radiators have changed a lot. Even
cars still have radiators. Probably not.

Speaker 7 (42:39):
Probably not.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
If you've got a tesla. If there's breaking news, I'll
bring that too. If anything happens tonight. As I say,
Hettel twelve, my name is Marcus Welcome. Just from the
press release too. New Zealand's fastest growing city is Hamilton,
fastest growing for the second time. Three quarters of the
population growth came from international migration and twenty five from

(43:08):
natural increase, which is birth's, miner's deaths, which I mean,
no one came from internal migration. Going great guns. Don't
know what they're all doing in Hamilton, Well they will
be doing there, got no idea. Strange things you've done
with the eggs. Which about the strange thing you've done

(43:28):
with the eggs and Hamilton chuck them in the river?

Speaker 12 (43:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Well, strange uses for eggs. That'll do as a topic
for the meantime. Oh wait, you know the rest. My
name is Marcus Welcome. You couldn't believe us singing that
Trump walk On song in the soupermarket today, Philip Grace.

(43:54):
It's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 21 (43:57):
Hello, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Thank you Grace.

Speaker 21 (44:00):
I was just hearing about your eggs. I think My
mum thinks I'm a bit of a weirdo with how
I cook my eggs, and I thought i'd tell you
a couple of methods that I do that she thinks
is just crazy. She thinks I'm a bit of an
American with how I do my eggs. So I like

(44:21):
to put them in an ice bath, which she thinks
is absolutely weird. Really, just so I put them in
for like six minutes on boil and then take them
out and immediately throw them into an ice bath and
then keep them there for two minutes, and then that
would make them perfectly soft in the middle.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
It also makes it easy for thee for the shell
to come.

Speaker 8 (44:45):
Off, does it?

Speaker 16 (44:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (44:46):
It does.

Speaker 21 (44:47):
But another thing that I do with the egg is
before I even put them into boil, I will both
pierce the bottom more round it and also sort of
crack the bottom bit with a spoon, which makes it
really easy to feel.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Talk about that so long about but I've never known
that that people put the whole in them. But there's
tools for it, aren't there. Yeah?

Speaker 21 (45:12):
Yeah, the Germans have a really ingenious design for an
egg cracker. Whi's just you know, they soft boil an
egg and then they have this machine that just cracks
down on it with this weight thing.

Speaker 19 (45:26):
I'm not sure what they call.

Speaker 20 (45:29):
Seen that.

Speaker 7 (45:31):
On TikTok.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Of course, all this TikTok we will talk about.

Speaker 16 (45:34):
Okay, yeah, I.

Speaker 21 (45:35):
Follow this Vietnamese and German kuffle, but they're really cool.
But they have this special it's got a really long name,
so I wouldn't be it.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Has got a really long name. It's called brush ten.

Speaker 21 (45:50):
That's but it's an ingenious device and it perfectly cracks
the egg with like a perfect circle, so you can
open it for yourself. But I would say that the
most ridiculous way of preparing eggs is probably I've never
tried it, but everyone's everyone's seen it on the Simpsons.
Pickled eggs. Oh, yeah, you'd see in like most heaven

(46:15):
never tried to sounds gross.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
I think a lot of pubs do have pickled eggs.
And yeah, it's sort of a yeah, it seems a strange.
Oh I see im. Look, I'm watching this egg thing now.
It's got it's got like an egg shape, it's got
a long stick on it.

Speaker 21 (46:28):
Yeah, and it fools down real fast.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Oh the ball drops down, Yeah.

Speaker 21 (46:37):
And just perfectly cracks it in a circle.

Speaker 20 (46:40):
I love that thing.

Speaker 13 (46:42):
I'd love to have.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
You tried to buy one, I know.

Speaker 21 (46:46):
To be honest, my husband doesn't eat eggs.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
I'm too scared of TikTok because I think I think
I'd find it too interesting. Just sounds like.

Speaker 21 (46:57):
What I have ADHD. So what's the sort of oh,
attention deficit disorder a d HD?

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Okay?

Speaker 21 (47:07):
Wow, So like TikTok has actually proven to be really
bad for people with ADHD. I was the tension span
we've already we already struggled with that, So it's not
very good with people that struggle with ADHDU.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
So how's talk back? How's talkback for ADHD?

Speaker 21 (47:29):
I'm not sure it's quite good actually, But my mom's
the biggest fan of you, to be honest. Oh wow,
that's why I was listening.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
She's like, oh, she sounds like it's a lot marcus.

Speaker 9 (47:44):
I was.

Speaker 21 (47:45):
Are you going to sing his song?

Speaker 13 (47:46):
Ma'am sing it?

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Sing it?

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
She says like, do you live with her or you're
visiting her?

Speaker 21 (47:52):
I'm visiting after because you did?

Speaker 2 (47:55):
You did say husband too, didn't you?

Speaker 7 (47:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (47:58):
Yeah, I live in Westtokland, but she lives.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
In South Ouklands. Nice to hear from your grace. Thanks
so much nineteen past nine, macause I I thought of
you toa that and laughed out loud when I heard
of the news that Reagun had announced her retirement. I
still feel really sick of the stomach about Reagan. I
think she really stiffed the country. I think there were
much better breakdowns without passports than she just kind of

(48:21):
swanned her way through and a breeze of entitlement. Now
I might be wrong about that, but I still don't
quite know what to do about that.

Speaker 8 (48:32):
Got to let it go.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
It's not my country, it's not my sport. It's nothing
to do with me. Stay in your lane, lush, don't
pick a fight with Reagan, but something about it. And
she's kind of played the victim when she was the
perpetrator of the crime against breakdn She killed the Olympics
and she killed breakdancing. No one's talk about any of

(48:57):
the great things at the Olympics. I don't know what
they were or anyone what was the great moment of
the Olympics. Oh, Simone Biles, I think talking about that
all they're talk about that stupid breakdancer Ray Gun. Yeah,

(49:17):
I'm more than angry. Of course she's retiring because she's
been found out. Then she's sworn around Europe about three months.
Must have got a fortune from the a parent. Don't
know what she got from. Well, the good news is
she's not going to go on Strictly Come dancing. I

(49:37):
think she's seen her senses. I think you're people are
going to shame her or something. Anyhow, my name is
Marcus Hurdle twelve. How you're going people strange uses for eggs?
Someone said people will see is to put pepper and radiators.
Really pepper corns. I'd put rice Terry. It's Marcus. Welcome,

(50:01):
Good evening, Yeah.

Speaker 15 (50:03):
Good evening, Marcus. You're talking about coddled eggs. Sorry, you're
talking about the eggs and ways to do things. And
I recall my late wife was given a couple of
egg coddlers.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
You never heard of that.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Look, I've heard of it, but I've got the name.
Sounds familiar. I've got no idea what they are.

Speaker 15 (50:26):
Okay, Well, what it is is a container. They're a
beautiful container in pottery or whatever it is, with a
chrome ring around the top and a lid or it.

Speaker 23 (50:37):
And what you do.

Speaker 15 (50:39):
One recipe is a ham and egg and it's butter
one teaspoon, cooked ham one ounce and caught a slice,
one egg, salt and pepper and your butter, the inside
of the coddler and the metal and then cut the
ham into half and then you have blao by black.

Speaker 12 (51:00):
Then you.

Speaker 15 (51:02):
Put a lot of the food in there and screwed
in lid and placing it up to a neck in
a pan of pourling water, and you sim it for
eight ten minutes until the egg is cooked.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
So it's just a it's just a tight little container
to cook egg and other stuff in.

Speaker 24 (51:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (51:24):
Yeah, it's a beautiful piece. It's royal Dalton and.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Okay, because there wouldn't be small containers you can do
that would that would be the only Okay, I kind
of understand that.

Speaker 15 (51:35):
Now you've got you've got a one egg one. I've
got this one up there of a two eggs and
there's a I think some we buried up the back
there there's a four egg one. It's quite large.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, and it's got to screw top. You screw the
top onto it.

Speaker 15 (51:51):
Yep, it's a metal top, okay, and you serve.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
It in the coddler. And eat it out of the
coddler with a spoon.

Speaker 15 (51:57):
Right, yep, yep. Done from there?

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Is it an old thing?

Speaker 15 (52:05):
Pity I can't give you a photo of it is
quite a delight for Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Because I've never seen those in shops, I presume that's
something from a way gone by.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
Is it?

Speaker 15 (52:17):
I would say, so, I've got the In fact, I've
got a recipe sheet with it, and that's what I
read it out. But then.

Speaker 12 (52:26):
It was, yeah, it was.

Speaker 15 (52:32):
It's got the Majesty Queen Elizabeth's seal lot and everything else.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
I do appreciate that, Terry, Thank you for coming through.
I find it interesting. Coddle eggs, Marcus, yes, Marcus egg
or pepper, and the radiator, bananas and the diff and
panty hose in the exhaust if you're see in the
car and it blows smoke, and old school things to know.
Great show is always Brownie. I'm gorgeous day down the south.
If you please know the weather came right on. It
took four months. It's about twenty five degrees. Can't believe it.

(53:03):
Eggs the strangest thing you've done with an egg, The
strangest thing you've done with an egg, what is that.
I'm just think, what strange thing I've done with an eggle?
What strange egg I've eaten?

Speaker 16 (53:14):
See?

Speaker 2 (53:14):
The manufacturing jobs aren't looking good there down Have you
noticed that? I see reports they've dropped. So there's going
to be some wobbles for the economy. I reckon the
next coming months. Get in touch, Marcus till twelve. Good evening, Brett,
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 16 (53:31):
Good evening with eggs, with eggs. I was driving through
Trail one evening at seven o'clock dark winter bang on
the windscreen of my vehicle. What kids, you are on
the side of the road hiding The old egg came
out spread on the windscreen. Your first reaction is to

(53:53):
turn the windscreen wip it was on.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Yes, So I did that wrong thing to do.

Speaker 16 (53:58):
The smothered egg all over the windscreen. Couldn't see Wow
the hell? Yeah? Yeah, don't do that. For the listeners
out there, don't turn the whips on if.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
That happens, because I do that. That's instinct.

Speaker 16 (54:11):
It's instinct. Exactly That's what I did.

Speaker 17 (54:14):
Yeah, I just.

Speaker 16 (54:15):
Mothered the egg all over the winter green. Couldn't see
where's going. So they had to be very careful pull
up that you're having a misshap you never found the kids.

Speaker 8 (54:25):
I went back to look for them.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Yeah, well, don't have the time of their life. I
thought you were going to say it birded late at
mid flight, or they would be surprising. But I think
your explanation is much better.

Speaker 16 (54:37):
I had a laugh about it about it an hour later, because.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
You think now that these days eggs will be too
expensive to throw them willing lilly.

Speaker 16 (54:46):
Oh, I don't know. You know, if you're in the
country and a lot of people still have chickens, so.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Laying eggs. Good on your brother. It's a good story.
Thank you. We're away, We're away. Oh wait, one hundred
and eighties tyr nineteen nine tix make is till twelve.
That's funny. Good evening, met Mircus.

Speaker 13 (55:09):
Welcome, Hi, my late father in law.

Speaker 10 (55:13):
He retired as a warrant officer from the army and
he came when we all moved down to Wanganui and
he scored a job as chief investigating officer for the
Poultry Board. And he used to go around all the
major poultry farms. This would be in the seventies and
he'd have a little crooker and he would count all

(55:35):
the numbers of cooks in each farm, and the idea
was that each arm could only have so many fowls,
otherwise it flooded or glutted. The market had all these yeah,
and he had all these handouts, and of course my

(55:57):
daughters were into that at a younger age. And one
that I do remember is, if there's an egg in
the house, there's a meal in.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
The I always thought that was if there's an onion
in the house, is because someone's told me that on talkback,
and I can't work it out with an egg or
if there's a.

Speaker 10 (56:16):
Me if there's an onion, I'll stick with the eggs.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Someone also told me there's no pockets on a shroud,
which I means. You think that means you can't take
your money with you.

Speaker 10 (56:28):
I have been subject to that, yeah, being accused of
not doing something and they said, but you can't take it,
there's no pockets on a shroud.

Speaker 12 (56:39):
All.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
I don't think. I don't think we get buried in
shrouds these days, do we.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
I really don't know.

Speaker 10 (56:50):
No, well, I think you would be wrapped. I don't know. No,
I can't I want to speculate.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
I'll investigate that fence, the idea of a shroud. Anyway,
how are you going people? My name is Marcus. Welcome,
H'll twelve if it, he'll three to twelve. Welcome until
about the ears strange thing is the strangest thing you've
done with an egg? Now, I'm talking about really strange,
like I don't know what that is. Well, I don't

(57:16):
know until you tell me. If someone asked me what
the strangest thing I've done with an egg would be,
I wouldn't know what I let me ever think about it.
Marcus bro loved the show. Just dropped my daughter off
from Late Night Sylvia park Auckland. She's such a great kid.
Was laughing Bro at your commentary, Eggs and Raygan or

(57:37):
Radar whatever. I love the honor. I'm still laughing. Fireworks
still going off here, Marcus. If way iPhone eleven is
waterproof for thirty minutes, it's six minutes deep. I find
this out when after ten minutes swimming going to pull
I realized my new phone was in my pocket. After
a few hours, it was still working. That's why I

(57:59):
googled it and found it was waterproof. Marcus, fireworks again
has been every night since Friday here and our pony
palmers to north JJ love a JJ. Coddle eggs were
often made for invalids because they were soft and easy

(58:20):
to digest. They were done the container, putting water, bath
and heated. The coddle egg containers usually made of China
and nicely decorated. Cheer the invalid as they ate the
egg from it. Oh well, sort of off those a
little bit. Fireworks still going off in christ has been
for the last thirty minutes. Don't know how lucky you are,

(58:42):
Nev that you Nev. Yeah, Hello, it's Marcus, Nev.

Speaker 6 (58:48):
Welcome you get evening, Marcus. I've I've just tuned in.
But talking about eggs, h an e shell. If you
were to both hands and put your fingers together and

(59:08):
get the egg and put the end of the egg
and one time of your hand and the egg and
the other end of the egg and the other farm
of your hand and squeeze it together, you'll never break it.
You'll never break it. I didn't know whether it's been mentioned.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Or not, but no, that hasn't been mentioned because you've said.

Speaker 6 (59:30):
That, Yeah, you'll never ever break it. You try it
when you go home and get an egg or anyone
can fight it. And I'll bet if they try and
it now that I'll ring up and you'll say that,
they'll say that, I'm right here.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Why can't you crushing the egg?

Speaker 6 (59:44):
It's because it's something to do with the shell of
the egg, of course it is. But you'll never ever,
you'll never ever break that egg. LL guarantee. I've beten
a life or that.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
What about a Canada goose egg?

Speaker 6 (59:59):
Oh well, I've never tried them, but that'd be the same.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Do you think they would be a could I'll tell
you what. The general shape of eggs doesn't very much.
It's a pretty stand today.

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
Yeah, yeah, they are. Yeah, like I wouldn't try it
on a blackbird's egg or anything small like that, or
a bent Oh I think you'd get away with it
on abandam z e. It's here they make the shell
inside their body.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
It's pretty extraordinary. I'll try that near. Thank you. Yay
nineteen to ten.

Speaker 24 (01:00:32):
John, Yes, high Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
There.

Speaker 24 (01:00:36):
As a Scout leader, I a scout campsite. We used
to have a stream running through it through it and
we used to hit up and have tin through That's
a large ten not be very small. And the next
size up. So one of the competitions was to mark
two places downstream and the boys would have to make
a little raft cut train your holes in the round,

(01:01:01):
a ring at the top of the can, light a
fire underneath the can, put an egg on top. That's
when it's upside down. Of course, put an egg on
the top and it had to be caught by the
time and got the other mark down the end of
the stream. Wow, that was a competitive sort of one

(01:01:23):
of the things we used to do with scouts when
it's something a bit different.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
I've never heard of that.

Speaker 24 (01:01:28):
They probably haven't. We also built two story tents, so
you won't hear heard of that probably.

Speaker 12 (01:01:35):
Hang on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Hang on, you've got me interesting too, because hards me
to visualize. The can was floating vertically.

Speaker 24 (01:01:43):
The can was on a raft upside down with twangular holes.
Punch used made it buy these things. Most people had
them in the in the drawers with the cutlery and stop.
The only thing that had a training a point just
sort of make a hole in the tip you can
to drink out of years ago. Yes, yeah, it is
the same thing. To put holes around the rim around

(01:02:05):
the top area of the can. So the fire could
breathe and the heat would come up on the top
of the can and the smoke would go out the
training of the holes. And once once we should go
there to put the egg on the top, and they
just spoil it down the stream and hopefully it would
be caught by the time it got to the end
of the whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
So the egg that the the There was a fire
on the raft.

Speaker 24 (01:02:31):
Yep underneath the can okay, and the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Can the whole bottom which became the top, that was
all taken off the bottom.

Speaker 24 (01:02:39):
Of the powers at the bottom where you put the fire,
and because there was a green timber, it didn't catch
a light.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Okay, Now how did the yigs stay on the top?

Speaker 24 (01:02:46):
Ten gravity? It's a flat surface size of a larger
Cairns upside down, flat surface. Just put the the egg
on that. There is a slight ridge around the can.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Okay, okay, okay, there's crack the.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Paton He had the correct be I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Didn't say that, Jones, that was a correct Yeah. Well, wow,
the things we did. Where was this jamboree at It
wasn't jamborey.

Speaker 24 (01:03:18):
It's just one of our scoutedcout scout camps we did
all sorts of weird things. We also made a two
story tent.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
You thought, I'm going to come back and revisit the
two story tend. What did you make that?

Speaker 12 (01:03:34):
Out of?

Speaker 24 (01:03:38):
Typical scouting timbers? Mostly what was of stuff called Now
the US had poles in our scout Dean. We just
take the poles with us and camping, and we built
the frame out of these. We put a floor in.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
It was it.

Speaker 24 (01:03:59):
It was bolted, but it also had it was all
tiedraph the proper scout knights and all the corners and
that sort of thing, and clop story. You had a
flat so he climb up into it. I was sleeping
for two boys and attached to what was a dinogram
which went out to the side. So you had a tense,
single story tense coupled to a double story teens.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
And you stayed all night, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:04:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:04:28):
We were using camps for two three four days.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
So the two story tent was successful.

Speaker 24 (01:04:35):
Oh yes, yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Bridgant stories, John, thank you for those. Marcus. Have you
seen that Mike Tyson's coming out of retirement at fifty
eight next year? That's right, one inch bunch. I'll watch that.
I like Mike Tyson, and he seems to be a
lot older than his opponent. But good on them. I

(01:04:56):
don't know how much that is for I've actually I
never done pay per view. I say I'll watch it,
but I probably won't. I'll watch it somewhere else. Find
one of those illegal feeds. Can you do that? Also?
Back at you. The reason I mentioned the eggs is
because people buy so many. I'm always stagger what happens

(01:05:21):
in people's trolleys at the supermarket. But I thought, when
I go to the supermarket on the way to work,
I think it's the farmers our. I don't know when
farmers go shopping, but they've always got trolleys full of eggs.

(01:05:43):
And see what I mean. You know, I try not
to look at other people's trolleys because I can be
prone to judgment. A lot of chips, but so many eggs.
Now you've got these giant trays of eggs. Only of
used to be a thing. I see people with trays
of eggs, and I'm impressed by their organization skills. When

(01:06:06):
you're all in it, you're committed to the eggs. When
you're buying a tray, it's like, you know what these things,
are you going to use them?

Speaker 20 (01:06:12):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Nearing my wildest dreams, I think I'll could buy a
tray of eggs. Seemed so extravagant anyway, And what about
egg whites for burns? Now here's a very good text,

(01:06:32):
and this is from Doug. And I like the way
that Doug has started this text. It says he started
with I'm sure you know because there's nothing worth sort
of text that seems you something that states the obvious,
because well, how stupid you thing I am. But the
way this one's gone, I'm sure that you know. And
then he follows with something I've got no idea of.

(01:06:54):
This is one of the greatest texts of my life.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Doug.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
I'm sure you know that all the water in the
Great Wall of China was made from egg white and rice.
I had no idea. That's the second most interesting thing
I've learned tonight, and I've already forgotten what The first
most interesting I've learned was what was that?

Speaker 15 (01:07:17):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
So it's something I thought, See, I've learned something tonight.
It was quite interesting. Got the idea pigs and Fiji,
oh Fiji pig hunters. Yeah, really, the Great Wall of
China is from eggs. I'm going to google that up,
but I believe it because it doesn't sound like it's

(01:07:39):
a cultural stereotype of erace. It just sounds like it
was something they would do because you could make mortar
from the calcium of the shells. Greetings. I've done a
fairly thorough google, and I can't see anywhere the it
says that they used egg and rice on the grate. Well,

(01:08:01):
certainly use sticky rice as mortar. I just can't see
any where they mentioned an egg. I might have some
more information. They could send me some sort of screenshots
of that. I'd find that interesting. I don't know if
it's going to need to use an egg white on
a minor burn. I'm not seeing that recommended. There was

(01:08:22):
one website that says they use sweet and sour pork
is a defense against the Mongolians because it was so sticky.
I think that's humor. Of course, you can't see the
Great Wall of China from space. That was one of
the great myths about the Great Wall, because well, you
can't see it from the moon. You might have to

(01:08:43):
sit from space. I think that's the point. Get in touch,
Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred eighty eight ten eighty
nineteen ninety to text anything goes here for it all?
Why do people buy some? Why do people eat so
many eggs? And we're going to explore that a little
bit more. They're also now talking about a second inner

(01:09:06):
ourl team for Auckland, sorry for New Zealand, which you're
going to go to christ Church called the Orca and
the proposal seems quite serious. Didn't like that David Moffatt's proposal.
I think David Moffatt had really made comments about things
that showed that he wasn't really a serious person. Jane Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:09:27):
Hello.

Speaker 25 (01:09:28):
Now you're talking about eggs. Yes, well, I think they
are a very good standby for anything. And I love
my bald eggs and they keep me going. So if
I'm going out to work and I go out on
a couple of days a week, sometimes I have bald
eggs and I do two two for me and two

(01:09:49):
for my husband, and we just put them in a
we peel them. We put them in a nice container
with a bit of salt and some spring onions, and
then when we need instead of making sandwiches, we had two.

Speaker 20 (01:10:03):
Hard bald eggs each fantastic.

Speaker 25 (01:10:08):
And it keeps you gone and you have your drink
of water and your focus and you've got your hard
boiled eggs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
It sounds like, are you like a warfee?

Speaker 25 (01:10:19):
Excuse me? Nor?

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Did quite physical work?

Speaker 20 (01:10:25):
Yes?

Speaker 25 (01:10:25):
Always physical?

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
What sort of work? And guard? Is it like an
outside Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:10:30):
I'm always gardening or working in my advocado orchard. I
need my bald eggs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
So you know those giants. Do you get one of
those square, open trays of eggs?

Speaker 25 (01:10:40):
No, we just buy whatever's there. I used to have chickens,
and then I had them for like thirteen years and more.
I had aricanas.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
They meant to be the best eggs, and I have
I love an Aricana egg.

Speaker 22 (01:10:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:10:54):
So they were the best eggs and they meant to
be cholesterol free eggs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
Goodness.

Speaker 25 (01:11:00):
So yeah that I'm sixty two now, and I gave
it away because I've got a lot of weak to do,
so I can't keep it up.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
I think the Arakana eggs are a beautiful color. They're
green or blue, aren't they?

Speaker 25 (01:11:14):
Yes, they are very good. Yeah, that's kicked me gun.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
So why are you buying those big square trays.

Speaker 25 (01:11:24):
Because I just know, I don't know. Sometimes I just
don't like the look of that, you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Know, I don't know what there be one hundred and
those big drays seat. I think you must be organized
to buy such a big tray of eggs. And how
would you get at home? I'd be scared they're gonna
tip freaked out by all those people. Those giant trays
have been for a long time. And what's going on there?
How many are you getting through? Second league? Team good
for the game? Two teams ORCA good name might beat

(01:11:49):
the Warriors, well they will. There'd be huge support because
everyone's sick of the Warriors that last year or this
year was such a deflation. A new team comes along, brilliant,
so much good will. Leagues big in the South, some
of those big units toughest, teak jacko in their boom,

(01:12:10):
unusual uses for eggs. And the second team in the NRL,
I think it'd be so good. The reason my thinking
for the second team in this team, the Orcs, makes
sense because Graham Lowe's behind it. He's a serious sort
of a unit coached manly coached in England, coach the kiwis,
I'm pretty sure. But also too. Think with the success

(01:12:33):
of well the Inaugura or the initial success of the
football team, the Orcan football team, and that competition with
the two local teams, I think two is much much
better than one because you get the local derby and
if it comes more exciting, teams can come across and
do the doubleheader. So I think an NRL team in
christ Church with this outfit would be sensational. And let's

(01:12:55):
face it, if you are in christ Church and your
sport's mad, you haven't got much to go to. Am
I right? You got the NPC, Well that's been depowered.
There's no All Blacks much And as to coming back injury,
you've got the Super Rugby. But how long that's going
to go for? They changed it every year. It's hard
to keep up. It's only the semi in the final
they're any good. The rest are duds and the coach

(01:13:18):
is no good anymore. That's no good, nothing to go to,
no sport. Wellington's got the Phoenix, Auckland's got the football,
Auckland FC. Christ Church nothing. They've got the basketball, but
the basketball season is very short. The Nuggets, it's a

(01:13:43):
silly name, the Nuggets. It's the Otago Nuggets, the Broncos.
It's the Rams. Terrible name, but you had a league
team thirty weeks of the year on your lime screwed
as off. You go, go to the event, go to
the pub afterwards, and jeck money into the local economy.

(01:14:05):
You've got their great stadium in the middle of the city.
I don't think it should be there, but now that
it is the you may as well use it. I
think it's a great idea. I'm just I think what's
happening around the world that might get you going tonight,
or if you want to let me know what's getting
going TV. Indeed making cuts to Breakfast and seven Sharp,

(01:14:26):
they kind of thought those were the shows that wouldn't
be touched because they were the moneymakers. So I'm surprised
to see that. Although Breakfast has got four hosts, which
even on any breakfast show, seems like a lot Jinny
Mae Clark's and Daniel Fightawa, Anna Burns, Francis and Chris Chang.

(01:14:48):
I don't watch that because I don't get up in
the morning, and if I get up in the morning,
I don't know whether I would have watched it or not.
How's it go? You reckon. Those four work well together.
Be curious. I'm not even sure if the other channel's
got anything of breakfast offering. I know that people Last

(01:15:09):
time I spoke about it, people don't like the fact
that they were standing up. So is that kind of
settled into a good vibe or not with the four
of them. I know everyone's a TV critic, but if
you could, if you could change it, how would you
change it? Jinny May, Clark's and Daniel fight Tawa, Anna Burns,
Francis and Chris Chang. So they're going to save money there.

(01:15:34):
I don't know if they're going to get rid of
any of them. Yeah, it understands down to two hosts.
I think people love that Ginny mad They don't know
which one you'd save there. Let me know about that.
They might be listening. I think probably seven sharp will
stay with the two. But you're going to adjust things
with the breakfast show. What would you text me? LL

(01:15:56):
call me about that? Which way would you change it?
It's kind of amazing they've got four hosts. Everyone's host crazy.
So if you've got a comment on that, I know
people love to talk about TV seventeen to Live in
Johnny Marcus welcome, Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:16:11):
Good evening. Yes, I've actually got a bit of a
different view. I think maybe we could have an AI
app where you could construct your own.

Speaker 22 (01:16:24):
Host.

Speaker 5 (01:16:25):
With interactive on demand TV that we've got, you can
possibly just build your own one. I think it'll be
quite a novel sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
It's probably not, it's probably not that. It's probably not
that far away, Johnny.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
Yeah, yeah, because I ran it through the question through
old chat GPT and so what is the likelihood of
news show hosts and anchors being replaced with holograms or
pick your own? And it came back with a response

(01:17:00):
that it was highly likely within the next twenty years.
But I just thought that'd be quite a nift thing
because so many of us were in cultural personality and
what our little narrow view of what it should be
who's delivering and you know, we've gone from Doogal Stevenson
and Philip Sherry to mister Fai Tawa now, so we've

(01:17:22):
got a whole range of different personality.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Before seems like a lot because it's not even that
news based. It's not like there's breaking news at that
time of the morning. I can't work it out.

Speaker 5 (01:17:33):
Well, Yeah, I remember when Jack Tyne first came on
the scene, and I used to love the way he
would break news and you occasionally see him like something
big might happen and he disappears. Is when he was
very younger, and I always thought he was pretty cool.
And it's good to hear him on the radio too.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Does TV three still have a breakfast show?

Speaker 5 (01:17:58):
I wouldn't know. We watched on demand at night and yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
But I know I think that Ryan Bridge was he
on the Yeah, I think he might be. Yeah, I'll
look into that, Johnny. But thank you, it will go away,
are you right, Colin Ats Marcus? Good evening, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:18:15):
I'm funding you for about twenty five years. Who's coming
to my shop in Key Street?

Yeah possibly you remember? Do you you know it was
a little hellyway through something.

Speaker 4 (01:18:37):
Yeah, no, I do, I do.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Where were you getting that stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
I would want to stop back from Germany after that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
The Army, Oh yeah, it was it was a it
was a it was almost like a Australian Army, Rugby
League Jersey.

Speaker 11 (01:18:55):
Yeah, I had all sorts of stuff. People used to
come in and sell me amazing things that it was
before Trade Me. When trade me started killed everything, didn't
it disappeared? But I had some great I stuff from
NASA and Oh anyway, what I wanted to phone you
about was brom Gilly died. Billy's died today and it's

(01:19:18):
not even been on the news. I mean, it really
annoyed me.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Okay, I've seen quite a lot of information about him today, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:19:27):
The news on one at all. I was really annoyed.

Speaker 4 (01:19:31):
Really it wasn't on the news.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
Yeah, but I guess, I guess when you say the
news these days, the news takes all sorts of different forms,
so I get Yeah, look, I understand that I thought
I had seen it on what did you watch the
six o'clock bulletin?

Speaker 11 (01:19:46):
Yes, I was really surprised.

Speaker 20 (01:19:49):
I mean, you know, what time was it?

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
An at?

Speaker 12 (01:19:53):
What time?

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Was his death announced.

Speaker 11 (01:19:56):
This afternoon?

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Okay, because I see it's on the website now.

Speaker 11 (01:20:00):
Yeah, but it's just annoyed me.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Yeah, well I can understand that. Yeah, but I I
also think too that the news service is not as
I mean that you see the staff of TV that
it's almost hard in the last couple of years, so
there are as many people there as they once were.

Speaker 11 (01:20:19):
Yes, but still I mean he was a bit of
an icon, and well he was an icon.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Yeah, no, fair enough. We might talk more about to
but thank you for mentioning on this show as well too.
Sir Bomb Gillies died aged ninety nine, the last twenty
eighth Maori Battalion veteran, and he'd been on TV a
number of times recently and spoke extremely well. I know
that Sir Wayne Shelford has spoken about him and so

(01:20:46):
he was one of the bravest of us all. But
thank you for that. Colin. Good to hear from you. Joe,
it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:20:54):
H show you Hi, Joe, you're talking about them? He sure,
I've got nothing to talk to you there. First, Wow,

Or She was married to a guy called Dennis Stevens
and he was a great rugby player. Plus he was
a good fronter on the track and he was from
christ Church. But he actually got murdered a few years ago.
A few marriage broke.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Up really, so I couldn't because she always went by
her maiden name, did she.

Speaker 20 (01:21:39):
Well. I think when her marriage broke up she went
back to her maiden name, but she used to She
was trained by a fire called Volgi Bregnas, and she
used to run for the Technical Club in grass Church,
but it doesn't exist anymore. The ground where they used

(01:22:01):
to have the athletics meeting is that just doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
So tell me something. Joe did christ Church and It's
day have quite a lively trek presence.

She honored and recognized in later life. I don't know
that I ever saw any reference to her or anything
like that.

Speaker 20 (01:23:33):
No, there was a lot a thing said about her
in later life. I got a shock on my wife
when I heard she was eighty eight when she died.
It was it yesterday or the day before.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
I think it was yesterday. I think we spoke about it,
but it got kind of overwhelmed all the Trump news.
She did get inducted into the Hall of Fame in
nineteen ninety five, but look, I'm very keen to find
out more about her. Coach Valdi Breeders, Yes, I thought
you called him rowdy rowdy like.

Speaker 20 (01:24:05):
He was he is from Estonia or Ukraine or one
of those European country though it was a Russian tipe country.
Who was the USA he was?

Speaker 14 (01:24:21):

It's on the athletics New Zealand, Joe, all right, And
his name was Valdi is short for Valdemar. Yeah, and
his New Zealand's most successful coach across all trek and
field events was an immigrant from Latvia. That's right, who

(01:24:43):
created national International medalist on an obscure windswept park and
suburban christ Church. Now what park was that?

Speaker 20 (01:24:52):
How is an insource road?

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
Okay, I don't know what they called the park.

Speaker 20 (01:24:58):
He doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
I need to find out. But these are some of
the names of people he coached. And these were you
remember these. Barbara Pulse and Beebele shot, peared tathlon, Diane
Charters shot, Lorraine Norris high jump, Jerry Hack eight hundred meters,
Joanna Joanna Heckman four hundred meters, Sally Many javelin Many
Many that'll be that's beneath Many's father to Kathleen bef

(01:25:26):
Peterson sprints, Robin Tate because he was well known and
infamous of course discus and shot, and Leslie Wilson the
high jump that's tried, it's the biggest. He was a
great coach in Saws Road Park. In fact, this whole,
this whole story, and then new Sae the athletics thing.

(01:25:48):
You could have written it, because your recall is so good.

Speaker 20 (01:25:52):
You will today that park his own by Aarrah and
they build it's from the building apprentices to practice building houses.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Oh yeah, copy that.

Speaker 20 (01:26:08):
So there's no athletic club there anymore. It didn't meant
for years. They just just near our eyes. Coating rank
is ye, around the corner from our eyes coating rank.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
I know exactly where that is. Would you call that
a power?

Speaker 6 (01:26:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:26:26):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
And this guy right, he was this guy Vledimer Right, yep,
he worked at as a scientist. He worked at the
d S I R.

Speaker 20 (01:26:40):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
Oh, that's good that we've heard that. But I didn't
think we gave that enough attention yesterday because we got
caught on old Trumpo and we didn't give that much talk.
But that's a good story.

Speaker 20 (01:26:51):
Yeah, and the only thing I was going to talk
to you about, certainly. Of course, you know my name
is Joe King.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
I guess yes, Okay, I didn't know it.

Speaker 20 (01:27:05):
But I used to to make me tour are you
would scrambled leggs in my legs? Really so I could
grow tall?

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
How did that work?

Speaker 20 (01:27:26):
Well? I just told you I'm dumb, honey.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
Joe King, Okay, understand what you're saying. Joe, Thank you
thought that might mean something. I appreciate your first topic.
Your second shop is also good, but not quite as good.
But I've real excited all about track and field. That's interesting.
Marcus Sir Gillies death isn't announced on TV three at
six pm by Sam Hayes. Also an interview done with him.

(01:27:49):
Not too long ago. TV three did a really informedive
article on bomb Gillies regards living Stone, so certainly on
TV three tonight it was covered. I think looking at
the tv end Z bulletin, they pretty much went big
on Trump the whole bulletin because they'd committed to send
a couple of reporters over and you got them there.

(01:28:10):
You know you've got to do those cover those stories,
I suppose, because they seem to be in financial turmoil
as they work out which of the four hosts to
get rid of. But why have they got four hosts?
I mean to me, if you've got four hosts, it
shows a lack of management's ability to make a decision.

(01:28:34):
You just put more and more people in there.

Speaker 12 (01:28:38):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
I've watched Breakfast TV once I was staying at a
motel Note to the Hunger, and it was Halloween. There
was a Halloween focused show I can't even remember. I
surprised how good it was. They put a lot of
effort and thought into this the only time I've ever
seen it. So I'm not an expert on breakfast TV,

(01:28:59):
but fours a lot of people because you've got makeup,
you got wages, you've got costumes, you got car parks.
I when everyone a TV want a car park because
they're scared they're gonna get you can't mix with the hoypolloy.
You drive all the way and then you go through
your secret doors. I'm sure most of the negotiations these

(01:29:21):
days with contracts is all about the car parks. There
would be my suspicion when I worked at TV's I
had a car park. I could even drive, which, looking
back at it seems excessive, doesn't it. I wonder what
they would have asked for that eleven o seven, How

(01:29:44):
are you welcome? I hope you've sort out your problem
with the tea bags of the leaking now. The choicer
ones kind of didn't manage to get a result with
that one. There's been a couple of calls over a
couple of days about that. But tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Final Go Round?

Speaker 15 (01:29:59):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
What's happening TV?

Speaker 11 (01:30:02):
In z.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
Gosh, it'd say it can't be much fun to be
there at the moment. Endless rounds of cost cutting. But
the latest thing is they're getting rid of some of
the presenters from the Breakfast Show. Now what that means
I don't know, but they're making cuts to Breakfast and

(01:30:28):
seven Sharp. It's popular Breakfast Show will be cut down
to just two. So if that's something you consume, if
you want the Breakfast Show. I know last time I
mentioned this, everyone's sick of people standing up. But which
ones are sterling because of the old days. I think
you go to Breakfast and then you can move on
to the other shows. But no one's leaving the other shows,

(01:30:51):
so there's nowhere to go. It's kind of like a
training ground but no more so. You've got a comment
about that good. That's what I'm on about tonight. Also
this runner from christ Church, Maurice Chamberlain and the Insaw
Road Park that's for interesting. And this coach Vladimir who

(01:31:15):
seems as though there's great stories. It seemed to coach everyone.
There's something else we could talk about tonight, Anything else
you want to go around about. Also to the second
rugby League team for New Zealand Strong but coming from Kenbury.
Any comments about Trump, but basically anything else about for
the last hour. Be nice to hear from you. All
the lines are free, so it's not make it lonely owl.

(01:31:35):
Let's be hearing from you. If there's something you want
to mention. There might be something entirely different you want
to bang on about. I'd have a problem with anything. Actually,
I'm get in touch anything else. Eight hundred and eighty
thirty nine nine two detects. Would love to hear from you,

(01:31:57):
as I say, there's something else you want to mention,
to be brilliant, But I particularly thought you want it
to be wanting to go and say which of those
hosts you want to get rid of. But that's probably
good that people aren't saying nasty stuff too. Also, it
is not as far as those choices of tea bags.

(01:32:19):
I can't work out who you're supposed to complain to
now there's no fear go I don't know who's going
to listen some sort of a little bit. I'm a
bit confused about that. So if anyone does the information
about those choices of tea bags, I'd go to another brand. Actually,
but money I'm working out. So we've got Daniel Ginny

(01:32:40):
may coffin Daniel Fight. I think Jenny Mae used to
be in Radio Daniel Fightawa Anna Burns, Francis. I've worked
with her around the traps at various places. Christian, I
don't know, as I say, I've never watched it. I
watched it once, but I don't think I rowed and

(01:33:01):
was on when I woul last watch it. That must
be a long long time ago. He was all right,
in a quiet taste, seem to do what he needed
to do. Ellison, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:33:12):
Christ Chang for a good He does sports. He went
over to the Olympic Games and did the coverage over there.
I think he's very good on sport.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
Oh god, okay, so it was a sports journalists. So
there's four would you how many would you need? Would
you need too?

Speaker 23 (01:33:26):
You probably just need two years. Dan was very good.
It is Daniel Vatara. He comes on seven Shark. He's
sitting in at the moment on seven Sharp at nighttime
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Oh, they're probably auditioning him to freak out.

Speaker 23 (01:33:36):
The other hosts, and they brought him the Ladies nine
and last night Pepper Whetsaw from Fiago. She's come on
to that now, so I'm not too sure.

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Okay, So what Peper Wetzel do the rest of the.

Speaker 4 (01:33:48):
Time, I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:33:50):
I think that's went online and I think there might
be still doing something on not on the TV, behind
the scenes, doing something you can still contact fore you go,
I think, but not on the TV, and I think
it's on the website or so. I don't know, but
I think she might store something to.

Speaker 12 (01:34:05):
Do with that.

Speaker 23 (01:34:05):
Maybe who does the weather, Oh, they have a number
of weather in the mornings, or the one that does
that reads the news, so it would be Chris Chang
normally for that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
So Chris Chang does sport and weather, Ginny mad does
interviews and reading. Francis Well, she.

Speaker 23 (01:34:28):
Had shed it. She's opportnityly she just had a baby.
I think she's not one at the moment. She had
a baby.

Speaker 17 (01:34:33):
Yep.

Speaker 23 (01:34:33):
So she's not on.

Speaker 6 (01:34:36):

Speaker 23 (01:34:37):
Nice lady's gone and dearer and they seem she seemed
to move from there. She was very good, but they're
not on there now. She does something behind the scenes,
she's doing extra reporting, something else. Not you don't see her,
but so much you see her on the doing reporting
her little news items. Dearer Stewart. I think she was
very good.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
Okay, so where she gone?

Speaker 23 (01:34:58):
I don't know where she's gone. But sometimes you see
her on the Q and A sometimes doing interviews behind
the scenes, she might sometimes you see her and I
say India reporting. But she used to be a host
on the breakfast but she's not on there now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
Okay, does TV three have a breakfast show as well? Ellison?

Speaker 23 (01:35:15):
No, that was canceled, wasn't the Oh?

news is gone. You're quite right. So Ryan was doing that,
it's all over.

news on TV three at nighttime and she filled them
when Melissa had a baby. I was thinking, so she was.
She's very good Laura.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
So what does Melissa do they had a baby. What
does she do now?

Speaker 23 (01:35:47):

No really, Now, you used to be on with Ryan.
They were like brother and sister on there that they've
gone very well. And I don't know what she's doing now.

She's on the weekend and she sometimes she fills in
in the morning. She sometimes when wonder, way, are one

the mornings. She's not quite a bit Melissa.

going to pick one from the TV from the from
the break for show, Ah Ellison, because you because you're diplomatic.

Good evening, Oh, good evening Marcus in the intels Row
and the house is still their big house, a brick
run well. That was the girl's hostel for Technical College, okay,
and the girls you either took a commercial court or

(01:38:35):
you took Home Science and the Home Science girls they
were taken, or you walked from Technical College down to
intels Row, and you'd have so many weeks, say in
the dining room, mish aren't you cleaning and all that

(01:38:56):
type of thing, and they'd be the kitchen and then
girls would move on like a rotation and they would
be in the kitchen. They would be paring their evening
meal and also baking. They did the baking and then

(01:39:19):
you went to the laundry. It did all the laundry,
and then you were also cleaned their bedrooms all out.
So it was teaching you, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
How, Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:39:38):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
And would would they because it was a hostel where
those people come from further Afield and small towns around Canterbury.
Is that what would happen.

Yes, some from the coach stand. Yes, that's where they
came from. And I don't know him. I don't know
how many girls that they had there, but yes, and
also with Maurice Chamberlain, there was Val Young of course

(01:40:09):
that in sport. But they both went to Tick, both

She was the shot put shot she got shot put
gold and discussed bronze and Cardiff, so she was part
of that as well.

number one five to one and her hair tied up.

Speaker 22 (01:41:18):
Blonde.

Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
Yeah, it's an amazing photo. And there's something really touching
about the photo of her because she looks like she
doesn't look like athletic leaks. Look these days, she looks
like she's really loving it. She's got a very calm
look about her.

Speaker 22 (01:41:34):

Have you heard anything about it? Was she someone was
writven in news stories about because there's not much information

Because I.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):

I said, there's a big story in the press with
a yes, so there must have been some stories and
some interviews you've done later on.

Speaker 20 (01:43:00):
In life, yes, is but.

Speaker 24 (01:43:06):
Jest.

Speaker 22 (01:43:06):
You know people who've flipped down that way to go
and have a look at the news them. They're doing
a wonderful job down there with you know the different
things that they bring up, and you know all the
photos that people send in and not only that that

(01:43:29):
goes on about different things. You know that happened down
that way. And you know that there was the North Beach. Yeah,
now there were some great swimmers and that that came
out of there, and they used to have carvalls on

(01:43:53):
the beach, thirst canvalls, that's right, and they'd come from
all over New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
I just read reading from the articles I missed yesterday
about Maurice Chamberlain. I think she probably was someone that
was reaffected. I think the house was ruined by the
quake in twenty eleven, so well when that happens, that
would have been a big disruption as well.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:44:18):
Absolutely as a hostel was there right with the the
athletics field, what right? But I do believe it's now
used for apprentices.

Speaker 2 (01:44:34):
Yes, someone said that the AAR or HERA or something
like that.

Speaker 22 (01:44:39):
Yes, So I don't know who owned with the Technical
collegeant what they could have done. I don't know.

Well, Joey, thank you for bringing little to know what
that show's like to that exhibition at the museum. I'd
like to see that. I appreciate your cool.

Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
Good evening, Mary, it's Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:44:58):
Welcome well hillo Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:45:02):
If I know.

Speaker 7 (01:45:05):
Frest came Run's daughter, and she's a very good runner
as well. Well, I don't know, she's an adult runner.
I have the adult sports. Yes, and she's a very
good runner as well. So she takes after her mother.

Speaker 2 (01:45:22):
Yeah, okay, that's genetics. If you ever got genius, you
ever got good runners. That's my take on it all.
She wasn't your age, though, was she'd be younger than
her right.

Speaker 7 (01:45:37):
Marie Maurice, Yeah, she's eighty eight, wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:45:42):
Yeah? Are you in christ If?

Speaker 5 (01:45:46):
I am?

Speaker 7 (01:45:47):
And I went to the same school as well, and
a lot of good people come out of that school,
Very very intelligent people come out of that school because
they're the top teachers in there.

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Yes, what is it in Brighton?

Speaker 11 (01:46:01):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:46:01):
No, that's technical college.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
I see what you're saying. Yeah on the INSOI right, okay,
and you're not tracking? For you to do track and
field yourself.

Speaker 7 (01:46:11):
Mary, Oh no, no, no iced to like watching this.

Speaker 2 (01:46:16):
Yeah, okay, we're nice to hear from you.

Speaker 12 (01:46:18):
Mary.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
I appreciate that big I honestly, I look back. I've
seid this on the show before, right, and everyone needs.
You get a kids into all sorts of sports. You
get to try everything, as we tried everything as we
were young. But there was something about track and field,
and I don't know, growing up in the seventies, it
was some of those just weekends where you'd have track
and field events where you just went to some sports

(01:46:41):
field and spend all day there kind of sitting down
queuing in lines with the occasional running race. There was
nothing more exciting as a child. You get ribbons, just brilliant,
the excitement of lining up. Kids love races. We need
to do it a lot more. Just your basic bog
standard running race, brilliant, right back into that. It it's

(01:47:08):
as good as it get. School sports days. That's what
we want. Good evening, Chris, it's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:47:13):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:47:16):
It's a pleasure talking to you. I have a little
story about Maurice Chamberlain. My mum was an extremely talented
dressmaker in her day, and she would have a procession
of bridal brides and mothers of the brides and all

(01:47:37):
coming for fittings after tea at night, and she'd usher
them into the bedroom. And Mom made Maurice Chamberlain's wedding gown.

Speaker 17 (01:47:45):
Wow.

Speaker 19 (01:47:47):
And I remember her my sister and were allowed if
we baked ourselves, we would be allowed to sit on
the on the bed in mom and Dad's room. And
what once the lady, once the bride has got their
bridle gains on, we would.

Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
Be open to sit on the bed, don't say a thing.

Speaker 19 (01:48:08):
And we'd be able to watch and see these beautiful dresses.

Speaker 17 (01:48:11):
That Mum had made.

Speaker 19 (01:48:13):
And it was just when I had that Maurice had died.

Speaker 17 (01:48:17):
I thought it brings back Memorice.

Speaker 2 (01:48:20):
And look the reason the reason why you're still in
christ Church, Chris, Yes, I am yes, the reason why,
the reason why it fascinates me right just because she
was such a star to have gone to Tokyo to
get an Olympic medal, our only new zeand female track bill.
I know what christ Church is like with its athletes,

(01:48:42):
how you know, with Dic Taytor and those sort of
people and the calm games and all that stuff. You
always his story about them, and they all they really
you know, christ Church is big enough and enough for
someone like that to become a real local hero. But
I've never I've never heard anyone talk about her. She's
not She's not a name I was ever familiar with,
and I don't and I don't quite know how that
came about.

Speaker 19 (01:49:03):
Yeah, well, remember she came came to our house and
had a cliff fittings for her for her gown before
she went away to the where what was it Tokyo,
wasn't it?

Speaker 17 (01:49:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
I think it was sixty four, it is, although I
think she'd been to Cardiff in sixty two or one
of the Calm Games as well.

Speaker 19 (01:49:23):
Yes, so that would make me fallen. My sister twelve
and we were able to sit there. But anyway, she
had a couple of fittings with Mum before she went away,
and then when she came back, Mum had completed the
gown and it was it was she was put put
it on and she just looked for and imember. So

(01:49:46):
clearly Mum used to go to the weddings, to the
churches and watched the bride get out of the out
of the taxis and then she'd fluff around their dresses
and make sure their trains were all all nice and straight.
And yeah, it just backed these memories.

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
Oh and it's yeah, it's and look it's it's. I
would have liked to have had more calls about this
because last night I was everyone was talking about Trump
when the news was through that she had died. But
the story because because as I say, it's not name.
And I'm normally pretty good with track and field remembering
people's nubs that were trailblazers, but I haven't remembered that.
So it's good. Yeah, it's good to get some of

(01:50:28):
those stories, Chris. So I really appreciate you coming through
about that. So thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:50:33):
Evening.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
Jimmy, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:50:36):
Well, thanks Marcus. I've just changed in and just when
I hear you talking about athletics, I had to jump
in Colgate games. I'm just looking at my certificate that
I got Colgate South Island Games, Nelson nineteen eighty five.
I was orders in the four hundred meters I can

(01:51:02):
see and yeah, bonze medal.

Speaker 2 (01:51:07):
What year did you say that? What year did you
say that was?

Speaker 17 (01:51:09):
Jimmy nineteen eighty five and Nelson and I've got the
statific in front of me. Yeah, I remember that it
was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Were far were you far away from first?

Speaker 17 (01:51:25):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (01:51:26):
I was.

Speaker 17 (01:51:28):
I was only fifteen, that's only fifteen. But and then
I've got a South Island Secondary school we aflet a champion.
The reason that I wanted to speak about athlete this
is that I was a little bit of a rat
bag at school, okay, and I joined it. We're not

(01:51:50):
joined the cricket team. I was a bit of a
rat bag and Dad says, no, no, no, you've got
more potential and he put into athletics. And I didn't
like it because efforts is called the individual's you're really thinking,
you've got to coach, and all the coaches at CAES

(01:52:10):
have got your potential for the first and then when
he does, you've got to work with him. And thanks
to Dad, what he did to me was really portrayed
my life in a way.

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):
I'm going to live it there because some more calls,
but thank you for coming through. I want to get
Vinnish before the end.

Speaker 17 (01:52:33):
Lee us.

Speaker 2 (01:52:33):
It's Marcus. Good evening and welcome, thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:52:36):
I've just about ten minutes ago turned the radio on
because I listened to talk back during the night. But
I'm you seeing bed to hear you for the last
hour anyway, and I heard you mentioning about Maurice, so
I thought i'd give.

Speaker 13 (01:52:55):
You a ring.

Speaker 14 (01:52:56):
I'm her cousin. Her mother was my mother's eldest sister.
And when Maurice went to college, you went to aidan
side was high and she was always winning the races
at at college and her father said to her one

(01:53:17):
night that she should take up running, and but she
wouldn't listen to her father. But she was about eighteen
when she decided to start running. And her mother was
a very good runner in her heyday as well, and
I think that's where Maurica inherited it from. And also

(01:53:41):
her two.

Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
Daughters Milia been at the games.

Speaker 14 (01:53:46):
Yeah, well, Milita could have gone quite a long way too,
following in the mum's foot in Marisa's footsteps, but she
decided not to take it on and Luise forse she had.
She studied under Voudie Braiders, who taught who was Maurice's

(01:54:11):
coach for a while as well. But you were saying
that you really hadn't heard about it. Maurice wasn't one
to get a name in the paper.

Speaker 2 (01:54:23):
That's that's very much what I've gathered that she must
have been a very humble person.

Speaker 22 (01:54:27):
Yes she was.

Speaker 14 (01:54:28):
Yeah, she was lovely. She was a fantastic cousin. And
and I've got three of my adult children live in
christ Church and one of them rang me yes yesterday
to tell me that Maurice had passed away. Because I've
seen her about probably about three years ago. Her brother

(01:54:49):
Wayne was over from Australia. He was he had cancer
and he came home and she looked after him till
he passed away. And I was very close to the
to Maurice and partic and Wayne. So I went down
and uh stayed with my daughter and went down for

(01:55:12):
a week and saw them both each day and time
with them.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
After the new year, Glin's clots jumping. So I want
to go about two minutes left, which is a shame.
But how much younger than her are you? Do you
remember the race and she.

Speaker 14 (01:55:31):
She is younger than okay, so.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
You would have remembered that very well. Did you get
the news throw on the radio or something when she
got that bronze medal? Do you know how you found
out about it.

Speaker 14 (01:55:40):
Yeah, yeah, Well, my my mum and dad always took
a big interest in Maurice when she was running and
when she had big mates. Dad always used to ring
her up and wash her well. And I've got quite
a few photos of her and she ran in Palmiston

(01:56:00):
North and me and my husband we went over to
Palmiston North to see her run over there. Yes, so
you knows my family have really followed her career in running.

Speaker 5 (01:56:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
I'm just looking at that photo to the photo of
her getting that bronze middle in Tokyo with her in tears.
It's a very very moving photo. It's such a lovely story.
I really appreciate you. We're out of time, gousness, but
I really appreciate you coming through that. We can talk
about that tonight. So thank you so very much for that.
And that's it from me, people. I should be back
tomorrow romans along next. But I really appreciate those stories

(01:56:38):
