Marcus wants to know how tall you are, and why you give your answer in feet and inches (when NZ has been using metric for everything else since the 70s).

Also, the etiquette of buying deli roast chickens, and why you need to be able to see in order to drive.

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be greetings and welcome museum. This is the Friday Free
for All. If you want to be involved with any
free for all, it's the Friday free for all. Because
the Friday free for all is freer and more for all.
I would imagine, get your clickers out, people, you can
count the things. Get in touch. Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine to text. I'm going to introduce

(00:32):
a topic to that I've never introduced before, and it's controversial.
It's controversial and a Friday light way, and it's going
to take a little bit of explaining. It's going to

(00:54):
require a question as well. And the question is where
did you When did New Zealand and we always got
about pound shillings and pence and decimal currency. When did
New Zealand get into metric measurement? When did we change
from inches and feet to centimeters and meters? Because what

(01:17):
I'm going to say is going to make me sound
like a idiot and a Trumpian type person. However, let
me explain this. All my life and I've been here
a while, the measurement has always been in meters, right,
I believe, so someone could tell me when we change

(01:38):
from feet and inches to meters. I don't know when
it was. Probably a better host would have researched that. However,
less I can self deprecate. But anyway, I don't know
what year it was. But to my knowledge, most of
my life it's been meters and centimeters and millimeters. But

(01:58):
I'm going to confess after living my life, I've lived
it for quite a while. I'm well over fifty. I
have no idea about heights and meters. And it was
highlighted during that usable about the missing woman in Auckland

(02:18):
from Mount Roskill and how tall she was, and quite rightly,
the news readers said, I think that she was between
one hundred and sixty five and one hundred and seventy.
I've got no idea about that. In fact, just today
I was looking at one of the heights of the
players in the NRAL, the small guy Ji Grayer thing.
His name is, he's five foot six, but it was

(02:40):
put down as something like one point six' eight or.
Something so WHAT i am suggesting suggesting to you is
that in terms of people's, height the whole meter system
is pretty well, useless AM i right? There because feet
is so. Good six foot's tall five point ten couple

(03:04):
of inches less than six, foot it's not, tall it's not.
Small six foot six is really ready. Tall but, meters
heights and, meaters no one's got an. Idea you look
At Wibbi, arma how tall is? He, well he's well
over seven. Foot but when it comes to, inches when
it comes to metrics and one point seven and, EIGHT
i don't know how tall that. Is it's. Meaningless AND i,

(03:27):
think and this is gonna sound me, CRAZY i think
in terms of people's, height we should go back to
feet and. Inches AND i don't reckon there's going to
be much pushback on. THAT i reckon most people are
going to be in favor of. It that's my. Thoughts,
Anyway let me know what you think about, that because,
yes every time they say such and such pooshes as,
Height i'm always on the phone trying to convert it
to feet and. Inches it makes no sense to. Me

(03:52):
let me know if you agree or don't. Agree oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two de,
text always converting it back because six foot is like
a great, feet its great because six foot's like a
tall Per are they going to be a couple of
inches shorter than a couple of just. Taller it's a
very good way to do. It do you want to

(04:14):
get in touch that what we are talking about? Tonight Leavitt's.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Marcus welcome, Evening Marcus. MARCUS I i'm not sure Whether
i'm going to be, right BUT i reckon THAT i
remember these. Days and in nineteen sixty seven it was

(04:38):
either we went into do some more.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
CURRENCIES i remember, that, yes.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Or in nineteen sixty six we moved the other way
from hang, on, well what were you asking the? Question that's.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
When we went when we.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Metricated oh, yeah well there was one was nineteen sixty
six and the other was nineteen sixty. Seven i'm not
sure which way seven was.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
The, coins and then we did, pounds shilling and inches
and Seventy then we did pounds to kilograms in seventy,
TWO i, Think but meet, today gong, On, no.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
We could if we did, pounds shillings and pens in
sixty seven and you just mentioned that, again then your
pairs Shillings.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
WHAT i meant to, say pounds to kilograms because The
hammond family are ON tv singing five hundred grams of
buzzl sprouts five hundred grams Of. Jenna that's about a
pound of. Each metrics can be, simple BUT i think
THE i think linear measurements had been done earlier than.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
That, YEAH i reckon they were.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Too yeah you're good, Man, nev AND i. Reckon what
you say is, gospel brilliant Blear, marcus.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Welcome very, Much, marcus there are going Good.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Blair, HEY i.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Reckon it's like a perception. Thing but how often do
you actually go out and measure?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Things, Well i'm not going to Me i'm not measuring. People,
yeah but like SO i don't.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Know LIKE i was on the golf course today AND
i was, thinking, okay, Cool Like i'm a, builder, right
SO i have TO i have to measure things of.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Course, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, YEAH.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
I look at that start MAKING i think that's three.
Feet three feet is very easily nine hundred miles or
a thousand. Mels, Right so.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Are you the? Same are you the same with people's?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Height, yeah WELL i try to. Be i'm a nice
easy measurement, Though so it's you, know are.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
You six foot or two?

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Meters i'm two.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Meters, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, Yeah SO i feel like
it's like exception, thing like how often do you actually
like look at that?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Soul would you know how tall someone that's one point
seven five meters was.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
That's about six?

Speaker 6 (06:58):
Foot?

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
No, no well it might be ye BECAUSE i Think
i'm five, TEN i think, One i'm one seven, SIX
i think.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah zerre a Outs, yeah, YEAH i don't.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Know would you know how till someone that's five foot
was and meters or you're not you're not converting back
and forward the whole time because you're fully metricated at
you because you're a, builder right.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah, Yeah like The imperial system's, durable it's like.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
Sixteenths it's.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Good but it's good for people's, heights isn't, it because
there's a lot more grades when you're Between BUT i
mean there's a lot of distance between one meters and two.
Meters it's between three foot three and six foot. Six
there's a lot of different gaps there a, yeah but
there's a.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Lot of a lot of gaps in an inch as.

Speaker 9 (07:42):
Well you, know.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Did you ever got game? Today did you go around Well?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Blair, YEAH i. DID i went had donating holes after work.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Today it's, great, brilliant good to. Hear keep it, Going
marcus till, midnight fifteen past, Day, Bernard marcus, Welcome, yes Hi, Bernard, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (08:03):
MARCUS i started at The Education board which doesn't exist
now can Be Education board and nineteen seventy five And
i'm pretty sure that's WHEN i started converting their records
of their classrooms from to. Metric from Them Pete, ninches

(08:25):
we had to convert all our records, manually.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
The records of what were involving distance in The education,
department so what were the records of wward distances became?

Speaker 11 (08:41):
Right?

Speaker 10 (08:42):
Okay the government used to pay schools per square meter
for maintenance inspect on the foot a job there, classrooms
SO i had to convert all the records from their
classrooms For canterbury in The West coast into. Metric, yeah
and it was all, manual you, know writing in those. Days,

(09:02):
Yeah so that was one of my first jobs and.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
Close.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah so how are you these days when people talk
about their Heighth if they say they're looking for someone
that's one point six meters, high could you work out
what that person?

Speaker 10 (09:17):
Was, yeah it's much. Usier, NO i, Can't, no you're.
RIGHT i find six, three for, example is.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Tall, YES i think.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
That.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah so you're you're almost in your head converting it
back and, forth don't. You, yep, yeah, OKAY i.

Speaker 12 (09:36):
AGREE i can't convert.

Speaker 13 (09:37):
It they usually.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Nice, yeah NO i can't, Either thank. You keep it.
Going seventeen past. Eight SO i ask you if people
are still converting from heights back to feet and inches
to work out how tall summoners and what year they were.
Born if they're still doing, that that's What i'm on to, Tonight.
Leslie It's. Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 14 (09:56):
MARCUS i was you were a silly young. Chicken by the,
Way i'm just turning out to turn. Eighty AND i
was a high school maths teacher when they changed them
the money changed. Over, yes they did a brilliant job
on THE. Tv they did brilliant.

Speaker 15 (10:12):
Time at everything.

Speaker 14 (10:13):
Else and within about two YEARS i remember them, saying
you did a good. Job we're now going to go,
metric and they did. That now keep in mind that
The United states all does the old system, Still, Yes
AND i use the feet and inches only for, height,
Yes AND i use the others for the whole. Thing
and you can adjust to if it bugged me that

(10:35):
the six foot two or whatever it, Was i'd actually
learn those metric. Numbers but it doesn't. Bother it's only
the heights of people THAT i ever.

Speaker 16 (10:43):
Use the feet and Inches, leslie and thanks for call.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
IT I k BUT i think probably for people's, height
feet inches is.

Speaker 17 (10:50):
BETTER i think it is.

Speaker 14 (10:53):
True but that's because we're used to doing these numbers this.
WAY i think if we had to learn the other
way that PEOPLE i learned.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Two, systems BUT i think for even people that have
been born since metrics, around they still find feet and
inches for height. Easier you're dead.

Speaker 14 (11:06):
Right too THAT i still use feet in, height but
then i've Been i've had it back in the old,
days before you were, round we had to learn. That
the kids had to learn the twelve times. Table it's
ridiculous because they had to be able to change from
inches back to to feet, again AND i was really.
Pleased it didn't take long for the kids to catch,
on and it's just that we haven't got used. To
if we did it more, often we probably would learn

(11:29):
the numbers for. Heights BUT i do think it's.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Easier do you know how tall you?

Speaker 11 (11:32):
Are?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Meters?

Speaker 17 (11:34):
Meet?

Speaker 18 (11:35):
No in good, Evening good, Evening how are YOU I
i've got an old wooden.

Speaker 16 (11:46):
Ruler.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Here, yeah, no and.

Speaker 19 (11:52):
Three uh thirty six inches us three? Feet is that?

Speaker 13 (11:56):
Right?

Speaker 18 (11:57):
Yep and a meter is ninety inches eighty inches longer
rough this rule is pretty was in an eight inch.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
So we all know. That but do you know when
you hear someone's one point seven, meters do you know
how tall they? Are to go looking for them one
point seven.

Speaker 19 (12:21):
One point Seven, yeah that'd be almost six.

Speaker 20 (12:28):
Foot you, see it's a stupid. System he's looking for
some of his eight.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Foot, well there wouldn't be many around the world's tallest.
Man what about The Great? Wall that guy that played?
Basketball was he eight? Foot For? China begunit, Evening, Ben
this Is. Marcus welcome you, Good thank You. Ben.

Speaker 21 (13:00):
Good just you're absolutely, right no doubt about. It the
height timewise of feet and, inches certainly the best is
actually one other time that you're missing. Though the other
time is if you're trying to give. Astruction you, know
rather than saying it's about sixty or six centimeters to

(13:22):
you're right or, left it's a.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Couple of feet you did cut out. There you talk
about when you're reversing into a into a. Space is
that what you?

Speaker 8 (13:30):
Said don't, know.

Speaker 21 (13:32):
Sorry, mate miss is? Mind just you're right with the
height with the feet and, inches, yes no doubt about.
It and also if someone asks you for your, hight
they sound about one hundred and eighty three. Centimeters you
sound like a bit of a nodley.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
You oh, yeah that's that's like a metric, brag a
one point that's, yeah, yeah total metal.

Speaker 21 (13:54):
Brag, yeah no one needs. That but the other part you're,
missing which is where the feet come into. Play the
any other time it's good is if you're giving someone
a distance away from, them as they, say you trying
to find.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Something, yes a.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
Couple of feet away from.

Speaker 21 (14:08):
IT a couple of, feet you're, right rather not about sixty.
Left it's again you sill like a bit of a.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Flip would that be like in a kid's hiding game or? Something,
Yeah i'm with, You, yeah, yeah, Okay, yeah it's a
couple of. Feet it's a bitter, system isn't. It the
great more mate's, yeah, no that's. Good bell like the
way you came through Strong yeah, No, hector we shouldn't
have gone to. It they should have it's a stupid
it's too big a, unit it's too a centimeters too,

(14:36):
SMALL a meters too, BIG a foot is. PERFECT i
WISH i did talk back in nineteen seventy. Three is
that You gordon about this metric that's coming? In why
we need a? Meter? Well what use is a? Meter what's?
Perfect i'm six foot my wife's six foot. Two why
would you need a? Meter how tall are?

Speaker 8 (14:57):
We as?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
End we look at some of the meat eight feet.
HIGH i have a clicker for every TIME i call
his phone? Beep so we on two. TONIGHT i think
THAT i think that Did leslie do? Too she called
me a chopped then set? On is it two or?
Three it's? Two leslie's a. Tour. Yeah in normal to

(15:21):
GET i. Reckon we get about ten beeps a week on.
Average we can't start running a book on it because
people do it. Deliberately four for the week so, far
which are pretty quite weak for. US i think it
was to be, fair there's more beeps on A. Friday
penrith up penrith up over canbra six nil canbra first

(15:45):
in THE nrl pen with our. Fifth but this could
be the, final a precursor to It, Steve, steve It's.

Speaker 22 (15:53):
Marcus, Welcome, yeah welcome me and my last year at
school sent. Two they bought in the metric and our teacher,
said with you guys will just have to three your
wouldn't rulers away and by metric ones and use. Them
but they had no. Idea we all we all fail
school suit mass because it couldn't work out the metric

(16:14):
four foot eight and a half and that's. It and somebody,
said oh it's one hundred and fifty two, semages no
idea what it? Is totally?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Lost did you, say did you say your four foot
eight and a?

Speaker 22 (16:25):
Half four foot eight and a.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Half, yeah, Yeah, wow that's, short isn't. IT i know
that that's Probably, yeah it's.

Speaker 22 (16:32):
About to turn seventy yeah on four foot eight and
a half and that's.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
It but, Yeah Steve, stephen why are you that? Hype
were your parents? Short?

Speaker 22 (16:43):
Oh my mum's mums, are but yeah mine my dad
was just on the fire foot you, Were my mom
would be or she could be about the, same okay
for four foot eight year? Wow BUT i managed through
through life using feet and. INCHES i don't you. Know

(17:04):
i'm down to men shed now and we got rulers
with all the metrics on. Them But i'm sort of
hitting my head around. It but, now if anybody said
there one hundred and one hundred and seventy centimeters, tall
And i've got no, Idea.

Speaker 23 (17:18):
You've got no.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
IDEA i wouldn't. HAVE i don't know if they're tall or.
Short if there's six, forty got no.

Speaker 22 (17:22):
Idea oh you know if you said somebody was the
four foot eight and a, HALF i Know i'm on my.
HEIGHT i know that it's a short. Person do you
know how many how high you are in?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Centimeters no? Idea one hundred and forty, three which is
not is it in a?

Speaker 22 (17:41):
Half but no metrics has left me well. Behind? Yeah Not,
yeah what do you.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
What are you making the bean? Shed picnic tables or?
Something are?

Speaker 24 (17:53):
You?

Speaker 22 (17:54):
Yeah all sorts of, things fixing chairs and. Tables and
we've got a school group coming on A tuesday and
they're learning from a intermediate school learning would work. School
we're passing on.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Some of our.

Speaker 22 (18:11):
Schools but, yeah you go to throw your wooden't rule
away is picking out your meat metric one and can use,
that but it's.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Difficult nice to hear from You, steve thank you get
in touch by name Is marcus hid twelve oh eight
hundred and eighty ten. Eighty, yes you said That steve
was one four to three centemers have no idea if
that was tall or. Short but of course too on,
talkbik everyone's any height they want to. Be it's amazing

(18:41):
thing about. Talkback it's a non heighthust kind of a
form of. Broadcasting no one's got any idea about, height including,
myself the height of the. Callers some sound, tall some sound,
short and it's got no. Correlation here's the question that
straight off, me man to, man person to. Person are

(19:02):
you still even if you aren't of age when you
should know how to use? Metrics and THEN i presume
that age Is stephen's, age which is. Seventy are you
younger than sixty and you're still converting height to feet
and inches because the metrics makes no. Sense we don't
want to turn into a political issue and say that's

(19:22):
the next government should. DO i wouldn't mind going to
make to. Feetninches so, heck because no, one no one
has gone into meters for. Height it just doesn't. Work
there's too much of a gap between one meters and two.
Meters it's a silly, system that's my take on. It
whereas the feat is feet one feet inches is. Perfect

(19:43):
but we're on about. Tonight eight hundred eighty to ty
nine two nine two. Text i'll get to the, text
but be honest with. Me let's be hearing from you
AS i, Say, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two de Text Stephanie, marcus, Welcome, yeah.

Speaker 25 (19:57):
Good, Evening. MARCUS i use both because on what depends
on what rule OR i pick up with an emperial,
One i'll use. That it was the metric, One i'll use.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
That but if you see someone on the street and
someone asked you how tall they, are what will you?

Speaker 26 (20:13):
SAY i would, say.

Speaker 25 (20:20):
Probably in, feat but in saying, that OH i know
how HIGH i, am and metric as, well look at?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
You how to allow your? Metric? Yeah, okay so so,
Okay so when was the last time you called someone
told them talk about their metric?

Speaker 27 (20:40):
Height never BECAUSE i.

Speaker 25 (20:42):
Ever talked to them about the. Height there is a shortened.
Dumpy you're.

Speaker 19 (20:48):
Tall we've got the.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Laugh that's all we. Need, basically that's the way it.
Works on A, friday free for. All i'm just definitely Care, marcus,
Welcome oh good.

Speaker 28 (21:04):
Mate and there's a good rent more peers milimeters instead of.

Speaker 26 (21:11):
Inches, yeah, yeah oh.

Speaker 28 (21:18):
Good it's gonna hang up on you because you can
measure it very. Precisely but one thousand and one hundred.
Meters there's one one hundred meters in this.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yes, yeah What i'm talking about When i'm talking about
When yeah we know, that we know, that But i'm
talking about people's.

Speaker 28 (21:43):
Fights so one point eight meters is one thousand and
eight one hundred, millimeters isn't?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It, yeah but we all know that you're measured.

Speaker 28 (21:53):
Millimeters, yeah as much easier as to read millimeters than,
inches breaking of three sixteenths Five.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
If the police is made star talking, now if the
police are looking for someone who's one point seven meters, tall, right,
yeah how tall is that? Person?

Speaker 28 (22:13):
Oh the Average joe wouldn't even know what one point
seven meters, meant.

metrics AROUND. BM i we've got a little strong agreement with,
this a great deal of. Agreement. Graham good, Evening, Oi,
marcus how are you very? Good thank You. Graham that's.

Speaker 29 (24:55):
Good, Hey i'm curious on this ac company getting sold From.
USUALS i would gogin.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Rules, well they've obviously been making the butters expensive as
possible to try and sell the sell the sell the
company for as much as. Possible it's not gonna be
good for us with butter, though was?

Speaker 13 (25:13):
It?

Speaker 29 (25:14):
No not really. Goes, yeah that's one of our biggest,
companies and we're showing to The gavene or.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Something it'll be a sugar rush for the farmers because
all the shareholders will get a big.

Speaker 29 (25:24):
Payout, yeah but why are you going to do a
little news?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Too and none of it's. Good the fact That fonterra
is supposed to all these different, products all this different
value added, stuff and now they're just exporting the lowest value,
product which is milk. Powder it's.

Speaker 29 (25:43):
Crazy, yeah, well why are we showing them that's all?
Good what's your?

Speaker 8 (25:48):
Opinion?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Oh, well because that's the way they've. Gone they think
they can make all the money with milk. Powder that's
the demand at the. Moment that's what they want to.

Speaker 29 (25:54):
Do but where does the old musols.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Stand we've got to pay a lot more for.

Speaker 30 (26:03):
Butter oh, no we're paying a lot at the, moment aren't.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
We, yeah we'll be paying. MORE i would have Mentioned, jane.

Speaker 29 (26:10):
Who's going to be nice seventeen dollars for a?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Rock but NOW i presume it'll still be made. Here
but how could we guarantee.

Speaker 29 (26:16):
That, yeah well that's. True that's. True so, well what's
next on the. List we're going to sell?

Speaker 8 (26:24):
Everything, well they've.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Sold all their, brands they've sound the, yogurt they've sold the,
cheese they've sold the. Butter it's just milk powder, NOW i, think.

So what are we go?

Speaker 8 (26:33):
On?

Speaker 23 (26:33):
This milk?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Powder so we're going to sell the next and wool
wool for tennis. Balls text if you want, to my
name Is. Marcus welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eight
nine nine. Text, yeah just going back to feet and.
Inch there's a bit of, system isn't. It AND i
feel kind of embarrassed That i've been so retrograde with

(26:56):
my comments saying it's good to go. Backwards BUT i
just want if anyone else agrees with me on that,
one or anyone, disagrees But i'm. Not i'm looking that
as the thing that anyway want to. Do what do
you reckon about? THIS i think we just keep using
feet and. Inches BUT i think also on police, reports
when they're the same we're looking for someone out, there
they need to say how tall they are because you
can't retrofit it the whole. Time it's too. Difficult we're

(27:20):
going to get used to. It it used to going
on with. It that's my take on. That do get
in touch by, Names marcus. Welcome so we are talking
about feet and, inches it just seems to be MORE
i mean the fact that there's twelve inches in a,
foot which is kind of, clunky but does seem to
be a more interesting and useful use a friendly. Measurement
that's my. Take meta was always just too vast. Money

(27:46):
i've not got a problem with. Weights i've got a
problem with but the distance just in people's. Height there's
something else you want to mention. To don not feel
free to come through to watching The league ten six
penrith up over Ken, burra it seems to be a
fairly spirit a, game first half at twenty seconds left to.
Go so it's a. Mudgy don't know much about, mudgie

(28:07):
but that's where it. Is seems to be well, Attended,
kieren it's mircus, Welcome.

Speaker 27 (28:16):
Get on that, Good.

Speaker 31 (28:18):
KAREN i was just heard you guys having a yarn
about the old feet versus, centimeters metric versus. Imperial me
being a bit of a younger bloke and constantly being
on the wire all the, time we kind of you
kind of just end up having to use both because

(28:40):
being constantly online and interacting with the rest of the
world just inevitably you're going to come across people who
don't use both feet and, cinemeters so you just kind
of end, up you, know swapping between them as it.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Is But i'm talking specifically about people's. Height what system
do you defer to with?

Speaker 7 (29:00):
That?

Speaker 31 (29:02):
Oh, definitely like it depends the. Generation, actually, really If
i'm talking to a bunch of blokes who are you,
know probably your, age you're probably looking at me, saying you, know.
Feet it's just it's easier for them to determine in my,
opinion because you, know back then inches and feet were

(29:22):
used more. Often, NOWADAYS i hear younger, people you, know
sort of more my age.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Using the centimeters And i've never Heard i've never heard
someone ReFood to someone's heightened. CENTIMETERS i have maybe.

Speaker 31 (29:38):
A total of four, times and it is incredibly.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Rare, yeah, okay notice to hear from, Me, Karen thank,
you get in touch. People marcus using metrics unit for,
heights you may as well say furlong's chains or featherms
waste of. Time we're still referit on you born babies
weighting pounds and, ounces not in metric. Weights, interesting length
of boat is always better in, feet That's emmett thirty.

(30:05):
Foot you might be right that arm spend a height
one point eight meters wide equals five point nine feet.
High it's called the ape. Index what is? THAT i
agree imperials so it's placed not just in height. Either
easier visualize than. Metric my dad has a said a

(30:27):
standard doorway with six, six so we usually judge people
heart and rased to the. Doorway at, school our rulers
were always twelve. Inches they then they went to thirty.
Centimeters we didn't like. It you don't have problem with
the system per. SE i think it's probably great for,
builders but just not fantastic for people's. Height that's my

(30:47):
take on this. One OH i don't mind it in rugby,
either because you've got your twenty, two haven't, you which
is all? Right but, yeah if you want to mention,
this Good, MARCUS i see Fish choice Supermarket tiano has

(31:08):
been singled out for price. GOUGING i hope this of
the news will bring down prices for. Locals we were
there At easter and the price they're incredibly high boarding
on rip. Off have a good, Weekend. Zach so, YEAH
i think they've just got the one, Supermarket, thiano which
is the fresh. Choice she always found it quite a good,

(31:31):
supermarket to be, Fair but you, KNOW i didn't see
it has been, extortionate but that might have been me
having a good day lines, free just talking about whether

(31:52):
you are is anyone out there still probably using the
metrics for. Height i'm sure they're probably, not but give
us a. Holer that's what we are talking about. Tonight
i'm just thinking THAT i don't know about, you but for,
me whenever the police say they're looking for, SOMEONE i
always need to convert it on my cell, phone which
is pretty good at that to find out what heart
they're talking, About because you, know five foot, short five

(32:12):
foot six that's short of than average five nine five,
ten that's about eleven five normal six foot that, yeah
tall than six foot that's tall that with the one
point eight meter, things it's a bit more. Confusing it's just.
Me i'm just asking if that's the situation for, You
if you got other stuff you want to talk, about,
boy we've got the show for. You eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine nine two de. TEXT i watched

(32:37):
the final Of alone. Today what a terrible show that.
Was that's the show where they put people into the
wilderness to see how long they can. Survive they're on their,
own they've got to film. Themselves and a number of
episodes where they sent people up to The antarctic or
up you, know not so up to The, arctic or
up to the can you, know far north Of. Canada

(32:57):
RED i Save rick for. Exciting there was, Fishing there
was wild, Beasts there was all sorts of. Stuff one
time ONE i got a moose got into that till
the wilder beasts climbed up and ate. It but, anyway
were they wilder? Beasts not wilder beasts they, were they
were wolverines got up to eat, IT i. Think but

(33:20):
this one was a Northern South africa and very uninteresting
because they didn't have much stuff to. Eat normally goes
throughnt one hundred days they. Survived this one was not very.
LONG i won't tell you how long it was in
case you haven't watched. It but, YEAH i don't know
if you want to comment on, that BECAUSE i would
have almost Say i'm a super. Fan but, yes though
it was, very very. Poor so, yea if you want

(33:43):
to comment on. That that's something ELSE i thought i'd mentioned. Too,
yeah the guy got a, moose but not this. Time
is in The arctic. CIRCLE i think it was a
wolverine that got him climbed up the. THING i always
thought the wolverine was something that was a fantasy. Creature but,
yeah that's a, situation big. Clause if you want to

(34:09):
come through before the, news that would be. Great we're
talking about height and. INCHES i reckon our texting machine
texting also but jagged, Too, dan what's your last text
through At? Yeah me? Too seems, unlikely doesn't? It feel

(34:30):
the forces are against us with the Technology Tonight oha
eight hundred and Eighty teddy and nine two nine to
text looking for breaking news around the word happening out.
There i'll keep you updated with. That people promise you.
THAT i keep saying To, dan it's been, MONTHS, Unti
we've done to use the breaking news. Thing nothing's been

(34:51):
happening on the nighttime. Show, now how we can shiggle
that along a little. Bit i'm not saying we want bad,
news but some news that breaks is always. Exciting but
do come so if you want text nine two nine
two is the text. Number i'm, Saying so you do come.
Through oh eight one hundred and eighty sety and nine

(35:12):
two nine to the. Text there's something else you want to,
mention but be a part of. It get you before
the news. Hopefully but you get those texts through if you.
Can IF i say nine to nine two is the text,
number send a text through now if you. Can, ACTUALLY
i just want to say that text thing's. Working it
seems a little bit skippy skippy to dep to, me

(35:34):
everything works like, clockwork skippyy to the dipty You, davy
this Is, marcus thanks for. Calling welcome, hey but just
a quick one to this.

Speaker 32 (35:46):
Day, internationally all heights and aviation are measured and feet
ah to, altitude and all all aircraft well there might
have be an exception In. France they're very metric, orientated
but the rest of the world all all right level

(36:06):
heights and everything all reference to. Feet ten thousand feet
is the transition layer to the.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Next is that because it's a bit of, system just
because The americans have a big stranglehold on. Aviation, LOOK
i don't, know BUT.

Speaker 32 (36:26):
I don't know the answer to be. Honest perhaps it's
just that it was accepted both By americans and The
british and it was too hard to change after the,
war you, know or when metric came.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
In, okay but to this day.

Speaker 32 (36:43):
When you refer to the height of a mountain or
whatever you or any elevation its.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Feet appreciate you coming through, That, Davy thanks for that
eight hundred and Eighty. Teeddy my name Is. Marcus. Welcome
just come towards the. HEADLINES i think with The Rugby
League canbra pin with the head Of canbra ten to,
six that's a situation. There that's a Mudgy mudge's on

(37:12):
The Murray, river no doubt tonight we might talk to
someone From Mudgy good evening and Welcome. Marcus till. TWELVE
i did make the observation THAT i think probably no
one much is using meters for people's, height and when
the police talk about someone be in such a particular
height or something like, that we all in our mind
go back and reconvert. IT i don't know what the

(37:34):
answer to it, is but maybe the police should put
out heights in both meets at metrics and feet even
they does seem, Clumpy But i'm sure most of us
are retro converting. It you might tell us what age
you are ready when you're not reconverting or converting, back
because pretty well all my life has been. Metrics BUT
i still find it hard with. HEIGHT i justpect the
kids do. Too oh, no the kids are on about

(37:55):
meters a, bit and when they are about a, meters
aren't we? There height it probably means a big deal
hitting the. Meter, yeah you got that back of the
door with all their heights. On that varies a lot
depending on you, know how they put the knives across
the top of the. Head, michael It's. Marcus.

Speaker 26 (38:15):
Welcome Hey, marcus how's it going?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Good thank?

Speaker 33 (38:19):
You.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Michael, YEAH i don't.

Speaker 26 (38:22):
Know i'm An, american BUT i live In New. ZEALAND
i don't really have a preference in terms of like
metrics and stuff LIKE i still go by feet and.
Inches but, yeah Like i've lived here a few years
AND i still can't quite, like IF i see someone
tight as like one point eight meters or, SOMETHING i
can't quite equate what that is immediately and beeting, inches you.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Know, well none of, us none of us can, Either.

Speaker 26 (38:43):
Michael, yeah it's kind of, difficult but like in terms
of like miles and kilometers and. Stuff i've found that
transition pretty.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Easy, yeah that's it seems fair because it's quite, similar aren't.
They so it's something whereas a meter is about Three, yeah,
YEAH i think basketball the height of sports people always,
is but it's always about people have a six, foot
isn't it that sort of a six foot this or
six foot that we know of a seven foot they're really.

Speaker 26 (39:07):
Tall, yeah like basketball players like they're like seven feet and.
Stuff SO i can always kind of immediately be, like,
oh that's a really tall.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Person, yeah exactly once it's. Over how many over seven
foot are there in THE nba that not that many are,
there but you know that's really.

Speaker 26 (39:20):
TALL a, yeah that's pretty. TALL i think there's like
a few guys that are like seven foot three or
seven four, maybe, YEAH i think Like Kevin durant maybe
six to, eleven maybe almost seven.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
FEET i did read somewhere that if you're born over seven,
feet your chance you'll play in THE nba is like twelve,
Percent like it's really your thirty nine players over seven
foot Weben yama boy ball ball a lot of.

Speaker 26 (39:46):
Them, yeah, YEAH i wouldn't be surpribed by that, statistic because,
yeah if you're that, tall like immediately pretty good at,
basketball you, know and you.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Can probably even without, heart you can loan, coordination can't.

Speaker 26 (39:59):
You, YEAH i would think. So but, yeah definitely that
height advantage would get basketball players in an.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Advantage you feel sorry for the short. Ones i've already
got to get their roll on, skill don't. You for
sure it's seventeen percent chance that if you're seven foot
you'd be in THE.

Speaker 26 (40:14):
Nba, Yeah i'm not too strised by.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That, yeah well it has been fact. Check some sint
could be as low as two point eight, percent but
still a lot the chance you would. Get nice to
hear from, You, Michael thank, You, patrick It's. Marcus good,
evening H.

Speaker 30 (40:29):
Marcus, yes in the mostly in the building, industry they
work in, Millimeters, yes simply because twenty five an, inch
which is twenty five millimeters.

Speaker 8 (40:42):
All, Right.

Speaker 30 (40:44):
And so if you've got if you've got something that
three is the easiest way for the layman to work
out what's the. Differences for, instance if you've got a
six foot, person multiply it by. Three that now gives
you eighteen hundred or one point eight for good if
you if it's eighteen, hundred and if it's in, feet

(41:05):
which is six, feet then multiply it by three and
you get eighteen. Hundred if it's eighteen hundred divided.

Speaker 23 (41:13):
By, three six foot and three.

Speaker 30 (41:15):
Is the key to it because there's three hundred millimeters
in the.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Foot hey, house all are?

Speaker 30 (41:21):
You how tall AM? I eighteen?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Hundred but you'd normally say that not sex. Foot, No,
no you'd normally say sex, foot would?

Speaker 30 (41:35):
You, look it's a bit the Same and you never
hear a baby born and so many. Kilograms it's in.
Pounds it's a seven pound baby or a six pound, baby.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Big big, baby ten pounds big baby or? Three you
wouldn't if that's big or? Spool would?

Speaker 33 (41:53):
You?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
No i'm the.

Speaker 30 (41:55):
No but you've got to, say, well what's a pound of?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Butter? Yes and that's only four hundred is it is a?
Pound about of four hundred? Grams i'm not even quite
sure where we are with that, Now, patrick but look
nice to talk to. You thank. You twelve past nine
getting touched sixteen six pen with over. Canbra we've got
a bit of a problem with our. Texts they haven't
come through for the last half, hours so if you're
wondering for your text to be, read they'll all come

(42:18):
through and probably gam the. Holes very really does the
text machine go? DOWN i think it's gone down twice
once they did scheduled maintenance during our. Show wasn't happy about,
that AND i forget the other. Time that's time might be,
tonight BUT i don't think you will have been charged
if you've got. TEXT i think it just WoT you
wouldn't have got the confirmation. Back SO i don't really
know what to say about. That it's funny that everything's

(42:41):
gone down On. Friday i've also had very bad rain
fade on My SKY tv. TOO i don't know. Why
it feels like this soul of flares happening or something
with everything technically being, problematic and if anyone knows any
more about, that but that would be of interest to. Me, Evening,
Val this Is, marcus. Welcome hi are you?

Speaker 24 (43:02):
Good?

Speaker 34 (43:02):
WELL I i'd listen to your radio and you, know
if you like you want to tun inches into, centimeters
the easiest way to do. It it's like if you
wanted twelve inches to, think oh how many centimeters you?
Go twelve and twelve or twenty four and half of
that of six and thirty, centimeters, Okay and if it

(43:23):
was like eight, inches you go eight may to sixteen
and then four it's twenty Centimeters and that's that's right
Because i've a double checked. That i've made SURE i
was right BECAUSE i knew it was that.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Way how are you with? Height do you know your
height and? Metrics?

Speaker 34 (43:38):
NO i haven't bothered to do, it.

Speaker 35 (43:41):
BUT i was.

Speaker 34 (43:41):
Too IF i turned it in two inches like twelve
s five, five you go five twelve to sixty and
you go sixty and, sixty it's one hundred and twenty
and thirty one hundred and, fifty so one hundred and
fifty one and a half meters sort of.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Thing i'll check that for. You how your system?

Speaker 34 (43:58):
WORKS a, yeah twelve and twelve and twenty four and
then six is, thirty so you've got thirty. Centimeters but
that's right BECAUSE i just got to.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Take five to one point five to two. Four.

Speaker 34 (44:10):
Yeah WELL i wasn't, exact BUT i MEAN i did
five twelve to sixty and sixty and sixty one hundred
twenty one hundred and fifty seeing me this slight, way you,
Know but that's sort of doing it a big, way isn't?

Speaker 11 (44:20):
That?

Speaker 34 (44:21):
Yes, OKAY i just thought i'd reach you that it's.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Good, well all this is. Good all keeps our minds,
alert loving my mind being. Alert, OH i turned at
eighteen seventy and nineteen ninety, six one of. Us, marcus,
welcome you've got anything else that's on? There for Even? Mark? Hello,
right It's, mark he's High Mark.

Speaker 36 (44:41):
Marcus, yeah thanks for having me on your.

Speaker 8 (44:44):
Show my.

Speaker 36 (44:44):
Pleasure just sort of share a few memories of the
conversions from you, KNOW dc TO dc and from miles.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Kilometers well that sounds, brilliant.

Speaker 36 (44:55):
Yep So i'm just just doing sixty. Five SO i
was born in sixty, Right. YEAH i remember going to
school WHEN i was very. Young once a week we'd
get a shilling AND i would get a pie and
a donut for. There so it was eightpence for a
pie and fourpence for a.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Donut that rings true BECAUSE i imagine even now a
pie would be twice the cost of a, doughnut wouldn't.

Speaker 36 (45:21):
It Probably i'd buy. PIES i don't buy donuts. Anymore,
okay but there was there, was but then they converted
to D c and the ten, SEINTS i think was basically.
EQUIVALENT i remember seeing the first decimal currency cars AND
i was just amazed how gorgeous they, were like, wow

(45:41):
because they were shining. Too at the time there would
have been sixty. Six maybe the conversion to decimal.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Currency it's sixty, SEVEN i, think but you. MIGHT i
always get the confusion, closing but sixty SEVEN i think
was a big.

Speaker 36 (45:56):
Year so WHEN i was got my motorbike license and
my mum, said you've got to go to the motorbike riding.
School you can get your, license but if you get
ever motivate you the riding. School parmas nort an old
guy called Stan key rode a funny old bike with you,
know a sidecar and sack across his. Knees even in the.

(46:16):
Winter Parmas north was a cold.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Hole he wasn't in the, sidecar he was on the.
Bike he was on the bike with a second across his.

Speaker 36 (46:24):
Knees well stay And key was a bit of a.
Legend he rode around on this old matchless there with
a sidecar and he's the drive around and he wore
shorts year round when the time that sack across his
knees as he's riding his bike. Around he ran the

(46:45):
riding school when they riders just said a. Ride at one,
point when we've converted to having the road signs changed
to kilometers and air instead of miles an, hour one
of the dupiss turned up and he's, Like i've got
these stickers and an older allus the little clubhouse with their.

(47:06):
Head the riding school had the roads signs, up and
he slept across these kilometer and the air signs on,
it and that would have Been i'd got my got
my license in seventy, five so that would have been
nineteen seventy five when the, debt and it took me
a while to convert. BACK i would drive From wellington
To Parmis north AND i knew it was one hundred

(47:27):
miles and the hell and it took. Me but then
they changed the. Two you know How barrett, was and
it was one hundred and sixty k instead of one hundred.
Miles AND i always convert EVERYWHERE i. Went i'd see
the sign saying in kilometers up there That i'd converted to,
miles and SO i knew How barrett. WAS i don't
Know i've, Gone i've passed.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
It you, know most of our topic tonight is working
out whether people are converting when it comes to height
or are you someone that would call someone at one point?

Speaker 8 (47:56):
Eight, yeah, Sorry i'm being a bit long.

Speaker 16 (47:58):
Windowed quite like winded on A.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Friday fridays the night you can be long winded or long. Winded,
Yeah so.

Speaker 36 (48:06):
There was there was the conversion there with THE dc,
stuff and then so the change to kilometers an hour
to miles an hour on the roads was really the
metric conversion for, me AND i, STILL i, Mean i'm really.
SHORT i Reckon i'm five to, seven.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yes which is what one point at one point a?

Speaker 36 (48:27):
Clue one Point, well LIKE i, SAY i will never
clue how much that. Was BUT i look on my
on my passport and it's they measured me and wrote
it down and it's one point one sixty. Five, okay
one point sixty. Five SO i guess you, know if
you go with.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
That which is neither he nor, there is it true?

Speaker 36 (48:49):
That BUT i always Think i'm five foot.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Seven, YEAH i think ye are, too, Okay and.

Speaker 36 (48:54):
Well it doesn't matter. THAT i wouldn't know what to
say if they house me in. Metric but if they
say they're looking.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
For IF i say that there's a woman missing and
she's one point, seven you want to know if she's
going to be five foot, seven don't? You or is
she going to be six foot she's a tall, woman
or five foot she's a slight.

Speaker 36 (49:09):
WOMAN i still think of heights for. People but as
a as a mechanic, engineer a measure stuff in My,
god metric was a god.

Speaker 23 (49:22):
Scene oh it must have.

Speaker 2 (49:23):

Speaker 9 (51:17):

the what do they call a quarter pounder In? France

then when the young guys knew he knew it was
A Royal ware cheese that's.

Speaker 8 (51:35):
Right, YEAH i.

Speaker 9 (51:39):
Can we talk about something?

sort of heating and food compliance, stuff you. Know and she, said,
look she just can't sell them to.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Me AND i, said are they selling them? Tomorrow?

Speaker 9 (52:50):

and covered mice for a while, now it's gone quite
Quite for a while, there there was my stories every.

guess they didn't have their all their systems in.

Speaker 8 (54:37):
Place and it was a bit.

Speaker 9 (54:38):
Laxed and but you, know there's a standard these, days
and it's it's really quite. High And i've just been
hit with a with a new, text a new compliance
fee from from a food safety and and they're trying
to to take take food safety to the next. Level

(55:00):
and we've already got some of the most stringent food
safety compliance anywhere in the world here In New. Zealand and,
Yeah i've got another.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Tax what's the text for?

Speaker 9 (55:09):
Rob, well, well it's the, explanation AND i don't always
believe what they were. Saying it's to take the food
safety to a new. Level and we're we're, all it's
already really stringent, now so SO i don't really believe
them really when they say. That so it's fifty nine

(55:32):
dollars this, year it'll be ninety six in twenty twenty.

(56:36):
chris It's. Marcus good, Evening, oh good, Evening.

Speaker 37 (56:40):
Marcus just listening to the man about the roast chicken
in the. SUPERMARKET i was told by the lady in
the deli at The New world sometimes i'd buy half
a chicken off you or some shredded. Chicken and BECAUSE
i live on my, own SOMETIMES i don't want to hold. Chicken,

(57:02):
yeah so she just told me that the shredded chicken
is left yesterday's hot. Chickens, anyway yesterday's, chicken so.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Assumed SO i don't know why they won't.

Speaker 37 (57:16):
Sell that men and hot chicken shredded out and sell
it the next.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Day AND i also thought that you will have to
guarantee if there was no chicken there in the rotarl
you got it for. Free you got a vounceie for
one for, free or something like, that because they always
guaranteed that there would be ones that were.

Speaker 38 (57:30):
AVAILABLE i don't know about, that BUT i kind of
got to know the lady in one of our local,
delis so she just told, me, oh by the copped hot.

Speaker 37 (57:42):
Chickens she, said the shredded stuff.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Yesterday so the chickens only stay there for twelve, hours do?

Speaker 37 (57:47):
THEY i think they have a time on them for that.
REASON i, think, yeah okay, maybe but it's odd that
they wouldn't sell it to him because they well Five, YEAH.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
I can't work that. Out we'll see if someone else.
Knows But, chris thank you twenty eight to. Ten but It's,
marcus good, evening very.

Speaker 7 (58:08):
Good evening to Your market's just a couple of different.
Points chinese pilots Flying chinese aeroplanes in and out Of
china all Speak, english and the reason being is That
english is the international. Language are, flying.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
So you've got to do to Speak english before you. Fly,
YEAH i guess, so, Yeah well.

Speaker 7 (58:27):
It just happens to be. THAT i remember Reading wildbie
two that the country with the Most english speakers and
it Is. China, okay it's a you're talking about heights
of people in that put.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Down but THAT i just Getting dan to put that
in the. Quiz the country with the Most english speakers Is. China, Yes.

Speaker 7 (58:47):
Chinese now when you go to your, Meeting, no there
was From calvin from the. Tron, Now, marcus where AM
i up to? Here oh, yeah when you go to
your bank tomorrow morning if they're, open Or, monday when
you go into your, bank and on your way, out
heading out of the bank through the, doorway look on

(59:11):
the door on the inside, there and you'll see three
different marks on the. Door oh, yes and, yeah and
it used to be five for six six. Foot, yeah
it used to be five, foot five for six and
six foot and the marks are still. There BUT i
don't know if it's still feet or. Metric i'm not quite.

(59:34):
Sure but all the banks seem to have those.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Marks, YES i think it. Robbed they can measure how
tall the person.

Speaker 7 (59:41):
Is a, Yeah but nobody seems to rob a bank.
Nowadays is there nothing? Else?

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Well, no, well, yeah that's. Right that's a good, point isn't.
It you don't hear bank robberies at.

Speaker 7 (59:49):
All that's. Right another brief thing which you will shake
your head and won't agree with, me, Probably but it doesn't.
Matter is that a lot of, people well world wide
there still don't know the difference between numerals and letters
of the. Alphabet, really that's. Right, well your your telephone,

(01:00:10):
number you keep saying it's eight oh, zero you, know
but the THE, o THE, o it's not it's actually a.
Nought nort and zero are the two to describe the.
Alphabet AND i was the leader of the. Alphabet so it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Seems That china comes thirtieth on the list of people
that can Speak.

Speaker 7 (01:00:38):
English, yes, yeah well it just shows you can't guarantee
what information you've got. There but, anyway so eight hundred
and telephone. Talk oh and a telephone NUMBER o was
actually a number Six when you look on your little

(01:00:59):
telephone you've got there beside you or in your pocket or.
Whatever so they keep people keep, saying, oh eight, hundred
but it's THE. O it's actually a. Nought it should
be not eight hundred or. Zero eight. Hundred, yes but
there you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Are SO i don't know how the people have been
making that point for. Decades, yes and nobody.

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
Is they're still even let's, on it's just LIKE i
tend to try and Speak New Zealand. English how did you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):

Right, yes, WELL i know what the number.

Speaker 23 (01:01:54):
Is, hell.

Speaker 7 (01:01:57):
Well it's not eight, hundred whereas you probably think it's
a letter of the. Alphabet but.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
You said it's eight. Hundred.

Speaker 7 (01:02:09):
Yeah but WHAT i was going to say is THAT
i try and Speak New Zealand, english SO i SPOKE
i say schedule instead of The american. Schedule and another
thing is THAT i remember watching television news the night
when the government of the day decreed that we were

(01:02:29):
changing over from imperial measurement to metric and they gave
us the new measurements, millimeters centimeter meter and killer meter
and then and then but a lot Of europe and
other and a lot of people In New zealand THEY
i say. Kilometer but The New Zealand english is. Killometer

(01:02:49):
because nobody. Knews we don't tend to say, millimeters centimeters
meters and. Kilometers we don't say, that do we say
millimeters centimeter? Meter and then idiots all of a sudden, say,
OH i know What i'll. Do i'll say. KILOMETERS i
think the other the other.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Host would ridicule me IF i started saying zero eight zero,
zero ten, eight zero or ten eighty you'd have to say.

Speaker 7 (01:03:18):
Zero yet yet, yeah and yet you'd be.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Correct so that says about something about our, roster doesn't.
It it's not about who's correct the. Most.

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):

amazing show because it started very. Well but then actually
it was in the north Of South africa in a

(01:14:17):
desert like, area but there was very little Tweet so
whereas in The Arctic circle that survived almost right through,
WINTER i think over one hundred, days the survival time
was very. Short and, yeah they couldn't shoot the giraffes or.
Things there was only things they could shoot like wilder
beasts OR i are maybe those antelopes with the tall straight.

(01:14:40):
Spinly it was good, anyway so, yeah you didn't know
if you want to mention that also because, yeah it
didn't have any of the drama of any other. Shows
it was very, undramatic SO i reckon they won't be
going back there. Again of course The australians tried one
In New. Zealand someone had a waker or something got
any lot of trouble which wasn't a good. LOOK i

(01:15:03):
think it was a wicker. SOMETHING i don't think there
would be wickers In fiordlan and it might have been something.
Else any, who that's oh. Jeepers Could brian wait till
after the thing or are You Brian marcus welcome? Mate
you got a fundraiser to Announce, yeah the.

Speaker 8 (01:15:23):
The Vintage Car clubs putting on a motor show And

Time i've mentioned? It uh ten o'clock.

Speaker 33 (01:15:38):
Onwards, gee what a.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Hub brewtown is a what a great PLACE i.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Reckon, yeah it's, good big tent there we can park and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Brilliant that's what you, want the big. Ten have some bruce.
Afterwards good on your bran things for. That there we.
Go cancer fundraiser by the car clab Upp hut tomorrow
At brewtown from ten in the. Morning oh Like emma
doing the community. Notices ran not taking Over, emma.

Speaker 8 (01:16:03):
Just that you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Know it's extremely exciting endto the rugby league that was
Between canberra And. Penrith they're calling it the miracle At.
Mudgie it came down to extra point about two minutes
had gone and then down penwith end And Nathan cleary
had a drop got at temp right at the front
about twenty meters out and went high the dropkick and

(01:16:26):
hit the, post but almost the top of the. Post
of ree high. Kicks it was a miss and the
ball bounced off that and was caught By Ricky stewart's
son who passed it To Ethan. Strange you then ran
the length of the field and passed it to his
mate and. Scored So canberra have won. That SO i
think they mean they are equal to be minor. Premierships

(01:16:46):
they just did one more point for, that so that
was a. Year it means That penrith remained at. Fifth
so if The warriors lose this, WEEKEND i think they
still remain fourth on the. Ladder i'll check that, out
but Certainly penwith won't be overtaking them. Now of course
it's the storm versus the dogs And i'll keep you
updated on that. One we are talking all manner of stuff.

(01:17:06):
Tonight act she's not a matter of. Stuff we've talked
about how hopeless meters and center meters is for describing
people's height because no one knows what they're talking. About
when you say someone is one point seventy six meters,
tall you don't know if that's a sure tak. Person
And i'm talking about when police aresk to look for,
Someone so maybe they need to still go with. BOTH i, mean,

(01:17:30):
gosh it's been fifty. Years we just haven't. Adapted it's
almost been sixty. Years, no it's been fifty five years or,
no it's been you're not that quite. Long fifty two
years or fifty three. Years it depends when it. Happened
what we are talking about tonight the, deficiency and people love.
Metrics it's for every, good but when it comes to,
height it's not. Fantastic we've also talked about referring to

(01:17:53):
the number nought as, zero WHICH i think is probably
quite a recent. Thing but that was. Interesting but the
person said about, That, yes we never used to call nought.
Zero it's a recent. Thing i'll keep those. Texts, Oh
i'm talking about rotisserie. CHICKENS i always thought there was
a rotisserie chicken. Guarantee if there was none, there you

(01:18:13):
got it for, free which is ironic because they wouldn't be.
There you got to voucher to get a free one next.
Time so you might want to talk about that also.
Tonight so rotessary chicken's going to be in the warm
for five, hours then they get left to call. Overnight
then they get shredded the next. Day not shredded like a,
document but treaded like a. Chicken for sandwiches and rolls

(01:18:34):
and chicken, SALADS i presume must be quite must be
quite challenging running a deli in the, supermarket because all
sorts of things must be reused into all sorts of other. Things,
yeah that's some of the stuff we are talking about, Tonight.

(01:18:55):
Marcus my colleagues From china only use meters for height
because our imperial system never existed In. China my colleagues
From singapore And Hong kong do use feet and inches
for height. Regards. Sue thanks to, That, sue get in
touch of you on to Talk marcus till. Twelve anything
else you want to talk. About, god that's what we're
up for. Tonight you might cut the topics a bit

(01:19:18):
looser for the final go, round so, yes be a
part of it if you want to. Talk let me
just check out the. Texts good, Day mark who used
to fly The beechcraft nineteen hundred free news in and
we would ask the refuel of for a certain amount
of leaders of, jetfull advise the load, controlers our fuel

(01:19:41):
fourth with a buye this. Week thanks for. That the
next generation OF Uk yucause submarines are called The dreadnaught. Class,
marcus you mentioned. CLOGS i work for some. Duchies they
love clogs due to outlay versus year's. Warner they hated spending.
MONEY a great thing could be the cheapest person you have.
Met it would be a. Banger we'll save. That get

(01:20:03):
in touch if you want to, Talk. MARCUS i. Agree
imperial measurements much easier for people's. Height have also known
some cafes whose ounces for sides of cough size of.
Coffees so oh, yeah that's like After. STARBUCKS i think
they talk about the an eight ounce and a ten. Ounce,

(01:20:25):
YEAH i don't know what that's. About i've read someone
that coffee is going to go to twelve dollars a.
Cup did you read? That thought that was? Weird it
was a. Lot don't drinking at twelve? Dollars are they?
Anyhow get in, Touch. Marcus till, midnight oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two. Texts, yes
The sharks are up at fourth with. Thereby of course

(01:20:46):
they've been the quiet, achievers have The no one talks
about them winning on two points to worries on three
or two points on the same but the panthers are
now in thirty one. Points so, yes that's a bit
of what's going on. People THEN i got through all
the texts from when we actually lost the texts my
mistress and the, deli people's discussion of the deli and

(01:21:09):
The roto, chickens the bachelor's. Handbag brilliant to keep it.
Coming if you want to, talk what does someone text
me about yucular? SUBMARINES i wonder emails if you've got,
them they're, appreciated appreciated What calvin was thinking about The

(01:21:30):
china people Speaking? English where i'd heard that? From, Hi,
john this Is. Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:21:38):
Good. EVENING i want to change the subject IF i,
can of.

Speaker 7 (01:21:41):
Course, yep little.

Speaker 8 (01:21:44):
Story i've just turned. Seventy did my eye site testing
on the. Weekend my eyes haven't changed from the last.
Time in the last three. Years my wife talked me
into getting driving Glasses i'm not sure, why and, sunglasses

(01:22:11):
but they do a test where you're going to look
at these little letters on the. Wall they're about twenty
miles high and if you can't read, them she, said,
oh your failure driving, tests AND i, thought, hm that's
a bit. Strange left the place and thought about, it

(01:22:33):
AND i, thought how how to touch the eyesight testing
is when you can drive along the, road see all the,
signs pedestrian, crossings, people cat, dogs and yet they want
you to see about three meters in front of. You

(01:22:56):
so WHAT i want to do is find out who
made those regulations and then send them an email to
say they need to bring it up TO ai regulations
because it's just.

Speaker 11 (01:23:11):
Just.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
HOPELESS i really failed to understand your, Point, John.

Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
You don't understand. It, no, well it must be thousands
of people In New zealand have lost their license because
of having a look at these twenty mil high.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Letters you've just cut out there after. Letters that was
the last THING i. Heard five the last THING i
hear lost twenty mil. Letters, okay you just cut out
after saying twenty mil.

Speaker 8 (01:23:53):
Letters oh, Yeah like when you're sitting in doing your eye,
test you look at twenty mil high letters on a
wall and if you can't read, them they.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Tell you, yep you.

Speaker 8 (01:24:09):
Right so that's that's. Hopeless my point is that they
need to to find a different way of testing people
for their eye, Tests AND i can't really find out
who set the regulations on looking at these little, letters but, that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
But, That, john is literally the standard test for. Eyesight
and if you fail, that your eyesight is not good
enough and you need glasses and you shouldn't be. Driving
it's literally the standard test and has been.

Speaker 8 (01:24:44):
Forever What i'm trying to say is THAT i don't
believe that it is a standard. Test at the end
of the, day my eyes are reasonably. Good did you did?

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
You did you fail that? Test a well half of?
It you Should you shouldn't be. Driving oh come, on
if you can't, see if you can't see those, letters
your sits not up to, scratch you shouldn't be. Driving
that's plain as.

Speaker 8 (01:25:13):
Day you get in your, vehicle you drive along the,
road you look at the street. Signed you could read street,
signs you can look at the speed signed with estre and,
crossings everything else on the. Road it's, fine but not

(01:25:34):
these twenty mili high letters that they set the standard.
For it's hopefully it's.

Speaker 40 (01:25:40):
Right but you're a Classic. John you've failed your eyesight
test and you're blaming the eyesight. Test classic classic case of.
DENIAL i, MEAN i wonder your wife suggested you get.
Glasses your site goes gradually and your site's no.

Speaker 8 (01:25:53):
Good, No, No i've got reading. Glasses that's, fine and
she wanted to she said get driving glass as. WELL
i don't know what difference they. Make they never tested
me for driving. Glasses they just, said, yes we'll give you.

Speaker 41 (01:26:11):
Some.

Speaker 8 (01:26:14):
Now it's not, denial it's IT'S i believe that the
old system is inaccurate for a lot of people who
are doing their eyesight testing because you. Failed oh WELL
i didn't. FAIL i could read some of. Them she
said that in five years TIME i could. Fail AND

(01:26:43):
i just think.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
It's just.

Speaker 8 (01:26:46):
It's just all wrong that the testing system is. Inadequate
so what DO i want to? Do who who made those?
Regulations is that THE aa or is it a government?
DEPARTMENT i can't.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
FIND i think it's probably standing all around the. World,
John but thank. You you haven't got any replies to
What john had to, say because it sort of strikes
me as been, extraordinary and he thinks that that he's
blaming the. Test, literally it's the standard to work out
whether your eyesight's not. Good it's been used. Forever there's
also someone that you look down at. TUBE i think

(01:27:24):
at the it's the same PRINCIPLE i would, Think, Yeah
i'm kind of staggered by. That you might want to
comment to eight hundred and eighty ten eighty get in
touch if you want to nine two nine too with
the text. Number, yeah it's a surprising BECAUSE i couldn't
really believe. It, Actually, summer It's, marcus, welcome good, Evening,

(01:27:48):
oh good.

Speaker 41 (01:27:48):
Evening how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Good, Thanks, summer it's.

Speaker 41 (01:27:52):
GOOD i was just calling up to talk to you
about the last erson that was on there that was
talking about the eyesight.

Speaker 16 (01:27:59):
Testing, SURE.

Speaker 37 (01:28:02):
I wasn't exactly sure when you see that as, well at.

Speaker 41 (01:28:05):
What point he was, made but possibly the fact that
he needed glasses for close up and he didn't think
he needed them for far. Away but maybe also about
the relevance of just that, test because if you think about,
it there's a lot that comes into play when you're,
driving like reaction, time processing speed of. Yourself you, know

(01:28:28):
like if you have processing, issues like you, know some
audio processing or visual, processing do they take things like
that into, account you, know your reaction, time stuff like
that should the different, TESTS i GUESS i think as you.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Get older you've got to link to. YOU i guess
as you get, older you've got to actually a physical,
test and they probably take that into. Account BUT i
think they've always it's always been a preyer quite for
your driver renew all that your site's. Okay AND i
don't think no one has a problem with, that do.
They that's just everyone would anyone except as, logical wouldn't?

Speaker 41 (01:29:00):
They, yeah, yeah, yeah, NO i think. So it just
sort of jogged my you, know thinking into the. FACT i,
wonder you, know you're not asked questions like do you
have any disabilities or the set and the other that aren't.

Speaker 24 (01:29:12):
Physical.

Speaker 10 (01:29:13):
Yeah do you Think i'm just asking?

Speaker 41 (01:29:15):
You do you think that that should come into the
play or something to think about when you're.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
GOING i think they're probably pretty. WELL i, MEAN i
think it's a difficult thing to. DO i think they've
pretty well got it. Right AND i think also, TOO
i would judge people if they think that there are
they've got things that would prevent them from, driving the
stopping doing. It but he WHAT i, understood he was,
saying because he can can see pedestrian crossings and read,
signs he should still be allowed to.

Speaker 41 (01:29:36):
Drive, yeah, yeah, Yeah AND i was going to, say
there's probably a, lot you, know when they look through
those telescope things and our, eyes there's a lot that
they would be looking at that we don't, know which
would show them if there's anything wrong as.

Speaker 19 (01:29:49):
Well it's not just the.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
Letters, WELL i.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
Think with the driving test it's just the. Letters it's
when you get an examination the, optometrist you do the other.
Stuff they look for.

Speaker 28 (01:29:57):
Food that's.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
True, yeah, yeah, anyway but nice to talk to you.
Summer thank, You Gary, marcus Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:30:04):
Ahi some of the signs that on motorways you could
be half blind and still see them because that exposed
and so. Large but the other thing you were talking about,
metrics why do we still have fourteen in sixteen inch?
Tires they have never changed since the decimals or the

(01:30:30):
seen meters or millimeters come.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
In were still and COLOR tv AND tv sizes, too
they're still sort of.

Speaker 16 (01:30:38):
Forty two, inch, yeah sixty five or you, know eighteen inch,
easier twenty, two twenty. One But i'm amazed that we
still have tires that are eighteen inch or sixteen. Boarding
it also.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Changed, also tire pressure is STILL, psi isn't it?

Speaker 8 (01:31:02):
Now some of.

Speaker 16 (01:31:03):
Them some of them have changed because that's on the
bottom of your. Door all the side of the fashion's side.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Still on. Perce i'll have to recheck. Those WHAT'S psi
that's about thirty thirty. Two that's in the pounds for square,
inch isn't?

Speaker 16 (01:31:25):
It look Look i'm still into of inches and.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Feet, Okay i'll find it for someone. Else, carey thank,
you nice to talk SEX. Nol melbourne Over Canterbury. Dogs
so that's happening as we. Speak Canber ran one in the,
match The miracle Of. Mudge they're calling. It Graham marcus. Welcome,
yeah is that is?

Speaker 13 (01:31:50):
That you're probably With? Graham are?

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
Yes? Graham?

Speaker 13 (01:31:52):
Yep, Yeah, okay look something OW i till my side
WHEN i was twenty six years, ago WHEN i was sixty,
two MY gb said you cholesterol level was out of.
SHAPE i, said oh, yeah what DO i? Do he,
said more an? EXERCISE i said? Exercise he said. Biking

(01:32:15):
SO i took up. Biking and there's a lot of
people out of the. Road they're drivers that don't know
what the road code. Is in terms of bikers on the.
Road you're supposed to give them one point five meters.
CLEARANCE i think when people go for their, license they
should be asked what is one point five? Meters Because

(01:32:39):
i've been just about wiped out so many. Times AND
i was driving Up Paradise Fury road that in road
A ru and there's a side up there that telling
everybody this is a sort of clearance you gives bikers
which is one point five, meters and A skoda came past,
me passed me by about four hundred and fifty. Millimeters,

(01:33:03):
Wow and the go to was The skoda was a Cop.
Skoda So i'm thinking that they need to do something
in terms of a license with people that are going
for their licenses and say indicate what is one point five?
Meters so many people don't know what the hell it.
Is i've Been i've been nearly cleaned up by eighty.

(01:33:25):
Eight i've been nearly cleaned up so many. Times it's not. Funny,
gee that's not.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Good are they bike ways there and to?

Speaker 13 (01:33:31):

That twenty eight past ten. O'clock welcome people here till.
Twelve my Name's. Marcus good. EVENING i surprised that guy
was so out of shape with his eye. TEST i
thought that was, strange logic and. Unreasonable. Marcus here is
some support for your. CALL i feil By ie test
my ophthalmologists. Tests to me WHEN i Passed marcus for

(01:34:25):
that vision, guy he sounds. Privileged pretty more text than that.
Vein i'll get to those WHEN i. Can oh eight
hundred and eighty ten Eighty. MARCUS a couple other things
still in the good old, sizes photo frames and. Aquariums

(01:34:45):
that's an inches.

Speaker 13 (01:34:48):
And.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Feet it's probably where they're imported, from.

Speaker 13 (01:34:52):
Is, It?

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Marcus?

Speaker 21 (01:34:55):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
Marcus what that guy obviously doesn't realize is that you
don't know when your eyesight is getting gradually. WORSE i
didn't KNOW i needed glasses AND i was looking at
a window and some people were commenting on a girl's pretty.
Dress ALL i could see was a white, blue not
the lovely blue and white striped on her. Dress he
was definitely in. Denial that's From, Anne. MARCUS i agree with.

(01:35:19):
You if your eyesight's not at the, standard you shouldn't be.
Driving my mother in, law who's eighty, three lost your
license after failing the eye, test but she kept. Driving
then she got pulled up with no license and the
police took the car and she went to. Court that
will teach. Her the worst thing was whose sons and
grandsons thought it was. FUNNY i was, Mortified. Marcus he's

(01:35:40):
meaning there are no road signs that twenty meters small millimeters,
small so white test you rise for twenty millimeters when
all the signs are way. Bigger, YES i thought that
was a stupid. Point they're just try to see if
his SIT's up to, scratch AND i think everyone on
the road would be fore enthusiastic that. Happens. Marcus Hope

(01:36:07):
john's not driving around my. Town someone, says someone sent
me an article about screening machines, also And i'll open
up that article for you and read that m, oh

(01:36:30):
they say the machines aren't as. Good of, course some
of the have the machines you look down, NOW i
preferer the old school. Ones so, yeah there's a sometime
you look down and, think BUT i, reckon that's not
as good as, Accurate. Marcus that guy's wife must think

(01:36:50):
he's a terrible. Driver she wants them to get driving.
Glasses that's WHAT i, Suspected, Hi Marcus lecky never went
metric three, thousand six hundred jewels as a heck lot
easy to understand than the Killer what hour, Ross. Marcus
WHEN i went for my last compulsory eye tests at THE,
aam my eyelish just touched the end of the glass

(01:37:12):
of the blocker shape viewing device AND i got the
worst ever iron fection in both. Eyes went to a.
Chemist op totis are told to ride it. Out swollen
eyelids were awful for the next. Week THE aa needs
to clean the glass where a person are looking. Through thank, You.
Marcus i'd like to totally change the subject and asks to.
Do rental car companies explain using and road rules to oversease.

(01:37:34):
Visitors we live In queens sound the number of times
we've narrowly missed a collision is really. Scary don't travel
The Devil's staircase Or White Creek, Inniti you're really. Brave
they park facing the wrong way and have no regard
for the yellow line and a lot to one pick their.
People once, again we're back on the eight hundred, number

(01:37:55):
Which i'm quite. Enjoying i'm quite enjoying people's obsession with.
That what they're saying is we shouldn't say eight, hundred
we should say zero eight. Hundred, yeah that's what their thing.
IS i worked in a telecom customer service center nineteen ninety,
seven where do you zero? In referring to the numbers

(01:38:15):
with customers who coorded for, help so it couldn't be
confused with anything. Else this for recently at the, time
as telecoms and advertising always talked, about, oh eight hundred,
numbers but we had to say zero eight, hundred and
customers sometimes didn't know what we're on. About marcus didn't
fully understand What john was talking. About but was he
meaning why does he have to be able to see

(01:38:35):
twenty millimeters edited tests when objects on the road are much? Bigger,
YES i think that's pretty much his point. Exactly he
thought everything was bigger than twenty. Millimeters he didn't realize
it was a standard test to see if your eyes were,
working literally the standard test.

Speaker 22 (01:38:52):
For.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
Everything so, Yeah i'm incredulous about that BECAUSE i mean
he was quite, convinced which is kind of a. Worry
marcus drivers. Liscens perhaps he is question the important of
the small font as to where he would likely see
that small on his driving duney looking at the speedometer

(01:39:15):
of the dashboard changing the angles of the cidber for best. Position,
well what they're doing is. THIS i, mean, obviously when you're,
driving you're looking at much longer, distances and it's. Relative
it's pretty. Obvious if you can't see something that's two
centimeters at five, meters then what are you going to
be able to see at not be able to see
at fifty? METERS a small, child even probably a big.

(01:39:39):
Child kind of speech to us about, That but it's,
funny you, know change yourself will change the. World it's
pretty much the, answer isn't? It do get in touch
if you want to talk about these or anything. Else
twelve Nil melbourne over The. Bulldogs this is two verses

(01:40:02):
three in THE Nrl earlier tonight the calling The miracle At,

PROBABLY i don't know, now but for a WHILE i
think it was hard to find people to work in call.
Centers so, yeah and their private, company they can do
what they. Want it would be my reaction there eighteen to. Eleven,

Speaker 33 (01:41:25):
Photo they took a photo of my, eyes.

Speaker 8 (01:41:28):
AND i THINK i recommend that people get a.

Speaker 35 (01:41:30):
Driver to take them home after.

Speaker 42 (01:41:32):
That what?

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
Happened, oh like i'd be welding all.

Speaker 8 (01:41:37):
Day, really there is real. Bad so if you've got sensitive,
eyes that's what i'd.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
Recommend that's unusual.

Speaker 35 (01:41:45):
Response, yeah well they didn't mention that i'd probably, be you,
know but partial to too much. Light but, yeah it
lasted all.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
Day ah, Really i've had that a number of times
and it CERTAINLY i didn't really notice that that's on
the photograph in the beck of your. Eyeballs aren't they
for tumors Using, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:42:08):
Yeah, yeah that sounds Like i've been welding all.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
Day, OKAY i wonder what that would.

Speaker 27 (01:42:13):
Be i'm not too.

Speaker 35 (01:42:15):
Sure, anyway they gave me twenty twenty vision.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Pass but, yeah so i'd mentioned that might be a
different kind of. Technology thank, You. Evan it's of. Interest
marcus eye test is two, millimeters not Twenty you can
read from the. Moon don't even know that, Means. Marcus
john clearly said it was a wall chart with different sized,

(01:42:39):
letters so it was an optomestrous, check not THE aa. Machine. Rose,
yeah that's. Right no one said it's the. Optometriss no
one said it's THE aa, Machine BUT i think people
are going away from THE aa machine because it fails
with some, people and the problem is the, machine not
the people's. Eyesight SO i think they're probably going back to. That,

(01:43:00):
marcus with regards to the driving eye, test got me,
thinking how many people with one eye managed to? Pass.
MIKE i don't know how you sight us with one.
EYE i don't know how that would affect your perception
if in what your challenges are driving with one. EYE
i guess that's. Sorry tested in the driving. Test my
dad had the eye test for the car. License couldn't

(01:43:20):
see the lights in the, corner got, worried then realized
the eye covers were still on the. TEST i wish
cyclists of pedestrians would wear more visibly bright colored clothing
than black as we oldies of which there are more and.
More dude of the modern medical care didn't know that
eyesight dulls with. Age it's. True it's a bit of

(01:43:42):
a worry about, that if you want to mention this
also to sixteen away from eleven head. Twelve Dear, god
when he goes for a, license he required to a
test There this can be difficult for some of they
need to do go to the. Optomic they need to

(01:44:02):
go to the. Optomomous john couldn't see all the, letters
so he needs to go to the op. Toomore he
probably needs glasses for. Driving, YES i think he. Is,
YES i think he is questioning his ability to see small.
Fonts that's right from someone's tixt it through about. That,
Also oh, wait one hundred eighty ten eighty until midnight.

(01:44:24):
Tonight my name Is. Marcus. Welcome we're talking about the eyesight.
Test it feels like that guy wanted something to actually,
see be in the drive and people ask him to
see what they could see in front of. Them, Hello,
Ted marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:44:40):
Yes, marcus how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Good? Things?

Speaker 7 (01:44:43):
Ted, Yeah, well you go to the.

Speaker 6 (01:44:49):
The eye, test the eye, place and they're putting plastic
instead of glass in your lenses now and they go
all funny with the. Sun And i've been back three
times and they say my eyesight has never changed for ten,

(01:45:10):
years BUT i can't see out of the glasses AS
i paid nine hundred dollars for and they won't change.

Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
Them seems.

Speaker 42 (01:45:18):
Wrong And i've been to several of the.

Speaker 6 (01:45:20):
Different eye places and they say they don't put glass
in the lenses. Anymore they only put plastic and that's
done by The, chinese and that's the only charge about
ten dollars In, china and they CHARGE us nine hundred
dollars for. Them in about nine ten, months the sun

(01:45:43):
has ruined.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
Them, YES i haven't noticed. That that's not been my.
Experience BUT i do know that glasses are very cheap to.
Make if you can get your, prescription then you get
online and buy them from overseas at a much reduced,
price which kind of seems, crazy doesn't.

Speaker 11 (01:46:00):
It well it, Is but.

Speaker 6 (01:46:05):
Why can't they put glass back in? Them because they
say there's nothing wrong with my eyes but the. Glasses
AS i pay nine hundred dollars just on a thousand,
dollars ACTUALLY i can't see other than.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
Poppery are you aware of anyone else that's had problems
with the sun affecting the? Pleasant?

Speaker 5 (01:46:23):
No, NO i.

Speaker 6 (01:46:24):
Haven't i've just been back to the eye place Where
i've been going for, years and they say your eyesight
hasn't changed for ten, years WHICH i don't. Believe, Well
i'm just on nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:37):
Now might be interested to hear tonight what people say to.
It maybe some other people have experienced. That keep. Listening, Hi, Pet, marcus,
Welcome hello.

Speaker 16 (01:46:46):
ARTIST a person with ONE i can see bitter than
a person with two.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
One, yeah very good, point Brilliant. Pet thank, You. Marcus good,
Evening good.

Speaker 33 (01:47:10):
Evening. Hi, yeah, yeah sorry thanks for taking me. On,
yeah JUST i know you've been talking about and it's quite,
interesting BUT i just wanted to just put something in
there WHICH i thought was important to, you and just
a little bit concern about the situation that's going on
with dogs at the, moment just sort of. Nationwide, yeah

(01:47:30):
sort of getting out of control if you ask, me
just a lot of responsible dog owners out. There we've
Got scott to the situation where we've got a park
here In tomorrow where you can't really go out.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
There now is it a dog.

Speaker 33 (01:47:45):
Park it's, no it's a sports. Park actually it's a
cricket field and a rugby rugby, field and, yeah it's you,
know you can't sort, of you, know go on the
walking trick list you, know before too long a dog
comes up to you and start stuffing, out started to,
chasing you. Know so, YEAH i don't. KNOW i just

(01:48:07):
saw it on the news recently as, well.

Speaker 2 (01:48:10):
Talk about wild dogs or it's a free range dog
with part dog.

Speaker 8 (01:48:13):
Park, no it's this is it's.

Speaker 33 (01:48:17):
Like you, know people that own dogs but just don't
that are not responsible for, them you, know like like you,
know for, example we've got in the in the council,
area we have certain by, laws you, know and we
have specific areas you know that if you take your
dog in on this, area you must have the dog
on a. Lead And i'm just concerned about it because
it seems to be like a nation more. Problem you,

(01:48:38):
know it's a big enough.

Speaker 8 (01:48:39):
Problem, yeah you, know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Sounds it's a council enforcement issue in timoday to, Me.
Marcus but thank, you thanks for you call ten to.
Eleven see it's not the Last friday And, august it's
the second to, last see the last Winter. Friday excited about, That, Ginny, marcus,
welcome good.

Speaker 15 (01:49:00):
Evening marcus here doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
Right good, Things, ginny that's.

Speaker 15 (01:49:03):
Good i'm just talking about this class of them and
with plastic lenses and they and they do not lead
them in the. Car when your car gets, hot it distorts.

Speaker 5 (01:49:13):
Them and it ruins.

Speaker 15 (01:49:15):
Them that is a warning from a. Daughter she had
hers resist them in the car one, day went up
with three to come, back and she, SAID i couldn't
make out why they were all funny. Shape there was
quite a hot day here in the car call that.

Speaker 11 (01:49:28):
Day and this is what it.

Speaker 15 (01:49:30):
Did it ruined the. Grass so don't lead them in
the car when you get out to take them with.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
You when did the?

Speaker 21 (01:49:37):
Lens make?

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Sure when did the lenses all become? Plastic? Gilly do you?

Speaker 15 (01:49:40):
KNOW i don't actually, Know, marcus BUT i know that
it has been a bit of a. Problem she had
to go back and and she went and talked to
the ones and they, said, oh they, said somebody should
have told you, That AND i, said it's not a
common known. FACT i know that for. Sure so there you.
Go so you just be warn whatever he, does who've

(01:50:01):
got to find out you've got plastic, lenses make sure
you take them out of the. Car otherwise it's a,
terrible terrible expense of who's got to go back and
get them, again isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:50:14):
It, yeah appreciate That, genny thank. YOU i Reckon probably
there could be a game changer coming to the optometry
area that comes in with the cheaper, glasses because it
seems they seem compared how much they pay for, them
they seem to be a bit of a. Wrought it
is correct that plastic is using. Lenses the plastic does
degrade in the. SUN a reputable optometrist will replace if

(01:50:38):
lenses less than twelve months. Old go to the warehouse
and try in different prescription glasses to see which. Works
if you don't have one much worse than the, other
cheap ones Are, OKAY i don't think glass at the
warehouse has prescription. Glasses it will be my sense for
that the guy that has trouble the sun and his
glasses needs to get the filter film over. Them it's

(01:50:59):
a game, changer but he's going to stop them distorting.
Though it's my take on that. One or is or
almost getting ready for the hour of? Power, people do
you want to talk on air? Good feel free to
get in. Touch the number is eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine two to. Text we are

(01:51:24):
talking oh metrics and how bad is for people's. Height
we're also talking tonight about glasses and the eye. Test
why the eye test for your driving license mightn't be
matching the. CONDITIONS i think that's kind of what people were.
Saying something you might want to talk about also, tonight

(01:51:48):
all this and. More As i've said eight hundred eighty ten,
eighty you want to text nine to nine two do
get in. Touch, yep there's something else to be nice
to hear from you about for the final hour, anyway
get in touch if you want to be a part of. It,

(01:52:11):
yes let me think what ELSE i can tell. You
we just look at the text before the end of the,
hour and then we look at the. Emails halftime in
the Rugby league to can be Sorry melbourne or twelve
nil up Over Canterbury. Bulldogs. Marcus it's re important for
older people to have a thorough eye test with an.

(01:52:32):
Optometrist not only whether we're told with your eyesight is
good for, driving but they can diagnose glaucoma and other
eye problem. Problems have a friend who's optomeoterus found a
melanimer on. HER i probably saved her. Life that's From.
Gil thank You. Gil someone Says calvin is. Correct read

(01:52:54):
there's zero well he's not really. Correct we're in the
ability we can say our phone. Number, however we like
we're the business of people ringing. Up we're not going
to say in a confusing. Way people are just, identic
which is a terrible thing to be because pedantic people
can be a tiresome bore and no one's got the

(01:53:16):
heart to tell. Them that would be my reflection of. That,
brian It's. Marcus.

Speaker 12 (01:53:25):

Me?

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
Right as people can't work out that when you go
to an OP tom address or there's the things on the.
Wall that's to work out whether you can see small
things at the close. Distance and obviously if you can't
see those is in the longer distance is not going
to be great. Either it's kind of, relative, Right, so,
YEAH i was surprised that guy needed explained. Him but oh,
Well i'm SURE i didn't hear WHAT i was. Saying

(01:57:37):
how's the older zempic? Going are reading this week that
those people that take ozempi nine percent of them will
put on the weight, AGAIN i suppose you you stop doing, that,

that a good? THING i guess you've got to take
it for. Life Tom jones has got in trouble for Singing.

(01:58:03):
Delilah they've started booing them because about a guy that
kills a. WOMAN i THINK i think it's no longer
kind of the right song to, sing.

Speaker 13 (01:58:16):
He.

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Said the lyric should not be taking literally. Anyway now
that's of, Interest but do come through fourteen past, eleven
final hour for me for the. Week it's been a
big week in the world of. Talkback, yeah how LONG

(01:58:40):
i could tell you about that one? Day, Anyway do
come through you've got something to. Add by the, Way
southland's victory yesterday and the rugby The, stags it was
the first time they've won two matches on the trot
since twenty. Fourteen it's eleven years since they've gone back

(01:59:00):
to back subsequent. Victory so, yeah that's. EXCITING i think
we should mention. That why are we going to start
going on about the the eight hundred. Number it's saying
it should be zero eight hundred because no one's going
to change, it are. THEY i tried to change the.
Number oh, wait oh, WAIT i can't even remember what

(01:59:21):
it changed you? Now oh one, way oh, wait One
way tried to get rid of the ten. Eighty it
was life. Changing but, no to be, fair management didn't say,
anything BUT i think they're quietly relieved WHEN i went
back to the. ORIGINAL i don't know WHY i went.
BACK i quite liked. It oh wa one o? Way

(01:59:45):
do certainly. Peppier you can't always be, peppy you can't
always be the. Leader but, look if you want to
be able to talk about these things haven't quite worked

(02:00:05):
out for going To elizabeth lose the nail. Yet When

Was monday's topic was hitting your finger with a, nail wasn't.
It SO i don't know when The popeyes in the
cargo's going to. OPEN i think it'll probably opened this.
Weekend i'm sure they'll wait and save it for the.

(02:00:25):
WEEKEND i think that's part of the. Hype they just
don't let people. Know it'll be a big thing In.
Vocay well that'll be the biggest thing since be a big.
Thing not as big as when The queen was here
in fifty, whatever but it's going to be a big.
Deal sort of leading the, country leaving The South island
with a brand New popeye. Franchise but calls from you

From now, yeah, sorry, anyway that's enough raving for. Me

and white spotted kind of a. Thing, Hi, jake this
Is Marcus. Welcome oh Hi.

Speaker 43 (02:03:40):
Marcus, YEAH i just was bringing up today Because i've
heard one of you call, us probably just before nine,
o'clock was talking about landlines were going.

Speaker 2 (02:03:51):
Away, yeah, YEAH i don't know about.

Speaker 39 (02:03:55):
THAT i know that the old copper line might be
going out of the, way But i'm still going to
have landlines. Around they were all going to work through the, internet.

Speaker 2 (02:04:06):
BUT i guess he hasn't got fiber or the internet
to have. THAT i guess that's what he's. Saying that's
THAT'S i think what's happened with some. People they you
need you need the internet to get it, going wouldn't?

Speaker 30 (02:04:17):
YOU i GUESS i guess you.

Speaker 39 (02:04:19):
Would but doesn't everyone have a bloody fiber connection these?

Speaker 11 (02:04:22):
Days?

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
Well, no.

Speaker 13 (02:04:25):
Oh we.

Speaker 22 (02:04:26):
Don't they have fiber In New.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
Zealand well, NO i don't, Know, dan do you know about?
THAT i guess you have. Fiber we just wouldn't have
paid for the connection to go into his. House that's.
Why imagine what. Happened ah, right it's not installed in his.
House it's gone right to the you, know goes past his,
house but not to the front.

Speaker 11 (02:04:43):
Door ah, right right?

Speaker 39 (02:04:45):
Right ah.

Speaker 2 (02:04:47):
Yeah AND i don't know what THE i don't know
what the cost to install it internet for a phone
line would. BE i, Mean i'm sure it's not going
to Be i'm sure it's probably gonna work out cheaper
than paying for your landline rental every? Week would?

Speaker 24 (02:04:58):
It?

Speaker 13 (02:05:00):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (02:05:00):
Oh maybe?

Speaker 39 (02:05:01):
So BUT i guess once the landlines they are. GONE i,
mean you wouldn't have any out the, choice would.

Speaker 11 (02:05:07):
You?

Speaker 2 (02:05:07):
No BUT i think it's gonna BE i think it's
gonna be a cheaper.

Speaker 36 (02:05:09):
Thing, yeah oh, yeah oh, yea, yeah, yeah, YEAH i see.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
It you mean, Yeah SO i think there's just some
people that are freaked out by The internet and having,
it but actually it probably is the way technology has.
Gone it's probably a good.

Speaker 39 (02:05:23):
Thing to go.

Speaker 13 (02:05:23):
With.

Speaker 16 (02:05:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 39 (02:05:25):
YEAH i MEAN i don't even have a landline a,
mine AND i don't THINK i ever. WILL i, mean
they will become a become a sort of a thing
of the.

Speaker 8 (02:05:33):
Past.

Speaker 2 (02:05:34):
YEAH i think people sort of said as a physical
connection to the. WORLD i guess that's what it.

Speaker 27 (02:05:38):
Is the.

Speaker 2 (02:05:41):
Line, yeah it's always, there you, always you always know
where is in the. House you can pick it, up
you can phone. Someone it probably gives.

Speaker 28 (02:05:51):
Even in the power cut and.

Speaker 2 (02:05:52):
Whatnot, yeah although it's not going to work in a power,
cut is it if it's on the. Internet, no, well, no.

Speaker 9 (02:05:58):
Not on the.

Speaker 21 (02:05:58):
Internet but your landline will if your if your.

Speaker 25 (02:06:00):
Bloody phone line is not, down.

Speaker 2 (02:06:06):
You, know if there's no, power your phone's not going
to work now with The. INTERNET i don't think that's,
right isn't.

Speaker 11 (02:06:11):
It?

Speaker 39 (02:06:12):
Yeah, No, no whereas your landlines work, Before.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
Yeah absolutely, yeah, yeah, Okay. JAKE i think people in Christ,
JUTCH i think that was the situation would bless them
with the. Quake they're worried now that the landline's still
going to. Work but could someone tell me if it's
going to be cheaper now with The. INTERNET i presume
it would. BE i kind Of i've glazed over a

(02:06:35):
bit with, that with the end of, landline because it
doesn't really affect, me which sounds for your self centitive,
me doesn't. It but, yeah if you've got something to
add about, that that's be neat to hear from. That
the whole landline, discussion oh eight, hundred you know the
Rest marcus till twelve gosh is at the time hulf past.
Eleven you might want to sneak through a sneaky text about. That,

(02:06:58):
also People. No five are down my ride of money
five k to the city, Center Palmerston, north not on chorus.
SCHEDULE i live In boon and we have coppernut, fiber
really high quality of. Another it comes From. Tongue aren't
been growing there since the late eighteen. Hundreds we seem

(02:07:20):
to be getting a lot of another From tongue and the.
Supermarket IF i remember righting a whole industry might have
been set up there through the microfinance. Thing, Yeah, vanilla
there was another shortage for a. While it's funny how
it's coming From mexico but mainly grown In. Madagascar NOW
i don't really understand all of, that don't necessarily need.
To i'll tell you what a lot of not many,

(02:07:44):
Songs how many songs Featuring how many songs feature measurements and?
Meters with a lot of songs mention? Feet don't they
six feet high and? Rising, yeah that's a good. Question
how many songs mentioned? Metrics i'd say almost, yes but

(02:08:13):
a lot of songs using the word feet twenty nine to.
Twelve maybe this Is marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 27 (02:08:22):
HI i just wanted to add on something about the landline,
stuff and it's maybe from a different. Perspective it was
my sister AND i we were talking the other day
and she was reading from stuff from ABOUT i was
like written by a child, psychologist and they were talking
about like how children are becoming a. Lot it was
sort of like the disconnection and how when we were

(02:08:45):
younger we took for granted the ability to be able
to just have a phone that was in the house
that you could use to call your, friends and how younger,
children younger generations who are a lot more reliant on
obviously having to use a parent's mobile, phone but not
having a phone that's there that they can just actually

(02:09:06):
to call their. Friends and then, yeah so it sort
of so she decided that she was going to install
a landline just so that her kids could call their
friends to arrange things independently from them to provide them
a mobile. Phone SO i just thought that was quite
interesting BECAUSE i never really CONSIDERED i was just, like, oh,

(02:09:29):
yeah like landlines are just, this you, know it's a neutral.
Technology we've all got mobile phones, Now but then thinking
about how actually important it is for thinking of our
own childhoods where we, had you, know the freedom to
call your, friends to talk to your friends after, school
to arrange things independently as a young child without having

(02:09:51):
to ask for, that you, know permission. Necessarily, WELL i
suppose you would need the permission if you're calling someone
who lived out of. Town but, YEAH i just wanted
to make that point that. BIZ i think sometimes when
we think of these, technologies or we always there's always
these kind of RUN i don't, know like benefits or

(02:10:15):
things that we don't necessarily see until we think about
them a little.

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
Deeper, yes there was never Any there was never any
bad stories came about the, landline did. THERE i can't
think of one negative consequence to the. LANDLINES i, MEAN
i suppose you could make a.

Speaker 27 (02:10:35):
PHONE i, mean is it like as you could make
phone calls to companies that might charge, You like back
in the, day there are all sorts of like things
that you could call where it would cost, you like
the one nine hundred. NUMBERS i THINK i can't quite remember,
anymore but you know What i'm talking, about.

Speaker 5 (02:10:53):
Like the.

Speaker 2 (02:10:58):
The phone chet, Rooms, yeah.

Speaker 27 (02:11:00):
Yeah, Yeah AND i think you, know and as kids
you could probably you, know you could use the phone
to get up to. Mischief BUT i just thought that
was interesting that we were talking. About she was talking
about anxiety and children and just sort of how there's
a lot OF i, suppose like maybe more than micromanagement

(02:11:22):
of children and their routines and, like and having access
to a landline is just like one of those things
that can enable them to be more independent and more
connected with their friends in a way that's also not
seeing them through a, screen because there's something about also
to being able to talk to someone without actually seeing,

(02:11:42):
yourself so without having to sort of you're not analyzing
your own face on a, screen and you're also not
distracted by other things that are on a. Smartphone you're
just picking up the phone to call your friend to
ask them what they're up to and maybe make plans
for the weekend and stuff like. That so, yeah it
just sort of be a you, know just a thing

(02:12:04):
to me add on to the whole. Conversation so if
you need your parents are out. THERE i don't know
if they're, like, oh maybe you're serving a. Landline, yeah could,
be could be a positive.

Speaker 2 (02:12:13):
Thing great. Point thanks for making the maybe good. Stuff
twenty six to. Twelve Hello, mary this Is. Marcus.
