Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Just reminding you. Tomorrow night, from ten o'clock, we will
have the sweep Oh, the all Black South Africa sweepsteak
for the rugby. It's called Billtong, butter or bugger all
you might win. You might know there the prize is.
At this stage you get the choice bring butter or billtong,
depending on where you live or what your predilection is.

(00:34):
Because the billtong will travel better. We're still looking for
a bill tong provider with that's all right, we'll fisce
up for It'll be one hundred dollars worth of something
like that. You don't want too much billtong, but that
will be tomorrow night from ten pm. You want to
be there for that. There'll be fifty slots. Get me

(00:55):
a call quote up for the week. A lot to
talk about todnight. I've got some extremely interesting historical stuff tonight.
What is not interesting because it's not a round number
of years. It's nineteen years since Steve Irwin died. H
I kind of forgotten about the Dean. Was he in
Antarctica when he got bitten stabbed. He wasn't in Australian waters,

(01:17):
was he. I've forgotten all about Steve Irwin's death. Actually,
I think they're filming down south like yeah, but they're
calling them the Australian Cardeshians, those children because they've sort
of got such a high profile. Find it interesting, but yeah,
I forgot about his death. There's big news when it
happened on a filming in the Great Barrier Wreath with

(01:40):
Jacques Cousteau's son. Well, they were jinx. They're always dying,
the Cousteaus. I think he killed three of us sons.
Didn't He went straight through his thoracic war caused massive trauma.
Bat reef Port Douglas funny enough for his producing a
series called The Ocean's Deadliest and first time ever a
sting ray fatality was caught on camera. Unbelievable a he's

(02:05):
buried alien zoo. Yeah, and when as funer as live
stream three und million people around the world watched. Find
that quite interesting. Ten past eight. There's a lot to
talk about. I'd like to cover off while we talk
about inflation. What's the one thing that you go to

(02:28):
a shop and never seems to go up in price.
I think I've found what it might be. I'm looking
forward to your suggestions. What I think never changes in price,
as a three pack of sesame snaps always seems to
be about three dollars. Am I right? Delicious, never promoted,
never publicized, Always there always a bargain if you've never

(02:50):
tried them and given them a go. They're just sesame
seeds I think in honey or sugar or something, but
they come unto a layers that you can kind of
segregate an extraordinary snack, just bubbles under. Always they're always
the same price, always good in that old fashioned funny packaging.
As wondered how sesame seed farmers make any money, because
if you've seen the price for them, they cost next

(03:11):
to nothing, and there's millions of them. You buy a
bag at Binnin and there's millions of them, it's about
two dollars. I don't know how much they're paying the
sesame seed farmers, because I can't imagine it's straightforward. You
still need to get rid of the pests and the
birds and kind of I don't know it image it'd
be quite a difficult thing to do. But what do
you would be the thing that never seems to go
up in price, is it big lighters and sesame steps.

(03:36):
We haven't brought a big lighter for a while. Get
in touch if you've got some suggestion about that eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. The Brisbane Broncos are playing
to not to keep you updated of that. Also the
NPC County seven North Harbor eleven that's happening as we
talk tonight. So the second half as started. Terrible weather
for the Ranfley Shoorld match on Saturday. That won't turn

(03:58):
people away there, that will be a full house. But
I think it's Swan Drive Swan dry with weather well
that other year they wear that stony Creek stuff, those
kind of rugged looking puffer jackets. Anyway, that is Saturday,
but yes, do get in touch of you. And by
the way, Catman Do looks like it's in trouble. I
thought cat Men Do would be around forever, all that

(04:19):
kind of gore tex. But that seems to be the
one that's closing out a number of shops. So it's
been a week of closures. Doesn't seem to be all
well in the economy, does it. Apart from the sesame
snaps which just seemed to bubble under and navigate. What's
the thing to you that never seems to go up
in price? Is? Is there something I'm trying to find

(04:39):
the positive stories in this economy? For me, it's a sesame,
snap Marcus, harder to find nowadays. But compact discs haven't
changed in price. Very good, Marcus. The one dollar mix
of lollies doesn't seem to change in price for a
good point. They wonder why that is? Congratulations, you've talked
this test match to death. I'm the sick of that.
Glad had to turn you off. Well you're not going

(05:02):
in a sweep?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I think they must have been went for Darcy. But wow,
what a text. Anyway, Do you get in touch? You
want to start the whole ball rolling night, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty As I say, there is a
lot to talk about tonight, and I'll be sprinkling the
topics throughout the course of the evening. I can promise
you that. But do get in touch. You want to
say anything about that, about the things that never seem

(05:23):
to go up? What is the one thing that seems
to be inflation resistant apart from the dollar mixture, which
I see what you did there. That's quite clever. The
inflation resistant thing you set the super market that's always
the same price. Have you got one of those for me?
Would it be a till of baked beans? They're also

(05:44):
need to be able a dollar sixty nine? Don't they
on special? Anyway? Do get in touch Marcus till twelve.
What about pens and paper notebooks? I'm sure you will
have a suggestion on this. Do get in touch to
text me Marcus. As long as I can remember, a
dollar bag of lolli has always been a dollar dad joke.
Thank you, Marcus. Steve who and may have loved all wildlife,

(06:07):
but'll always have a special place. This art for stingrays
very good. I thought it was a bit grim. They
buried them at the zoo. Where does they want to
sell the zoo? Because they will, She'll get sick of it.
I think Bindi's back in America. The young lad left
that restaurant without paying. That was poor. Where does a
hobby eat to find these sesame snaps? You must know

(06:29):
a sesame snap. They've been around forever. Oh, They're one
of the great un celebrated things. Tell me I'm wrong,
I'm sure, they called a sesame snap. They're in a
three pack or individually. Individually they about a dollar, and
in a three pack they would be Yeah, the hobby
broadcaster loves those. In a three pack they would be

(06:52):
maybe slightly less than a dollar. They're by Golden Days.
Oh you must know them. They're got the most old
fashioned looking packet. They've been around forever. Golden Day's net products.
Sesame snaps brilliant thing. Oh yeah, you must have tried them.

(07:15):
They almost look similar to the summer roll their way.
They're package. There are sums that have yogurt on one side.
They're not good, but no, they've been around forever. It's
one of those timeless snacks. Never advertise on TV, just
always there, always the same. They never they've never got shrinkflation.
They never changed the recipe. It's one of life's constants,

(07:38):
Hannah says. One of the same things as the same price,
always since way back twenty dollars. Tennis, very good. I've
seen what you've done there. I want you to tell
me the one thing that is inflation proof besides sesame snaps. Oh,
here we go, vinegar consistent price. Oh, there's some great

(08:01):
responses to this, Marcus, weed are still twenty bucks a
gram for the last forty years. Wow, what's that about?
What economic law is that obeying the price of weed? Marcus,
Gurkins haven't gone up much. You get a real decent
job for two dollars. Eighty and fifty people at Rugby

(08:22):
Park Invers said a shield will go because south of
people will be like, why can I supporters and not
tune up because of the weather. Marcus, the dollomics is
the same price. By bet you get fewer lollies. Russell. Well,
thanks Russell for stating the obvious. I think we all
got the joke. I think they're called sysamy snacks. They
are snaps snaps with a P. Are you seas on

(08:44):
trucks never go up because the national government has been
captured by the tracking lobby. The good oil started in
twenty sixteen with a seven to fifty mil bottle a
twelve dollars, still twelve dollars, and the bottle has gone
up to one liter. Crazy stuff. Looking forward to your
calls about inflation resistant products. I'm sticking with this topic
because the more I think about it, the more I
quite like it. Anything else apart from sesame and if

(09:08):
anyone wants to talk about sesame snaps, I'm sure you
could make them yourself, but why would you bother if
you haven't tried one. We could give them away in
the in the in the spot, in the sweepo, but
I don't necessarily know if people would like them. Well,

(09:28):
it says they held together with the corn, sirve. I
always thought it was honey goes to show it made
in Poland. Goodness, wow, Poland for the sesame snap fine
us very very interesting. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine two nine two. By the way, yuamuru, not
good news for you people. We are turning you off.
That's it. We've had a gutsfull. Here's what's going to happen,

(09:52):
and it's going to be brutal. At ten thirty tonight
on thirteen ninety five am, gabon, she's gone burger back
on at two am, so three and a half hours
there will be none of me and none of Roman.
You might get us if im the Christ signal because
it bounces off the ionosphere late at night, or you

(10:15):
listen on iHeartRadio, or you could go to sleep, or
you could watch late night commercials on TV. Or read
a novel that's my suggestions, or have a sesame snap.
No one else addicted to them. I'd probably have one
every two months, but never might just one. Always buy

(10:36):
three packs. I've lied it'd be three every two months
for the old sesame snap. But products that never seem
to go up, that are inflation proof, that's a discussion
for tonight. I always thought matches were probably inflation proof,
but I haven't brought them lately. We're more a lighter
family for the fire starters. Surprising because I try to

(10:56):
get the kids like the fire they're terrified of matches.
You like them, you want to play, you want to
light them. Evening Royce. This is Marcus. Welcome and evening.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Hello Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Thank you Royce.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
I just want to say lovely SHOWMATEE always a pleasure
to have you on. Also, so I was going to
talk about the inflation of weed. So I actually had
this conversation in the sauna or someone the other night.
It popped up. This person was a she was she
was assessing the water supplies, right, and so I thought

(11:31):
that was quite an interesting job. But she was curious
about drug prices, and I said lot I don't do drugs,
but I know enough if that do. And yeah, they
we talked about weed, and I think the conclusion we
came to was that there were so many dealers in
the market that you can't actually put your prices up.
Oh so like because there's so many people selling that

(11:54):
if you put your price up, you know with a
buy and know someone else.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
That sounds so yeah, I mean because.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Because because it's on, because it's underground, there's no collusion
between them or ice fitting, so you can't go around
to the morningtary. Yeah, that's a that's an unbelievable it can.
So it's a good thing. Our supermarket should.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Be like that.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
They should be and maybe the banks too.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, so is it the same so so your mates
that no, right, it's always the same price and there's
no shrink flation. It's always the same size for tinny.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Has been the same price. I'm twenty twenty eight and
if anything like, all you see is you might get
one dealer that puts a bit more into into like
to keep people around, but always stays the same okay,
and always and you always, yeah, you always think you're
getting you know, a grand for twenty bucks that's but

(12:48):
the way that the only difference is you might get
a dealer that pops it up a bit to keep
people coming back. But otherwise I think that's kind of
how it's always been. I don't know if it's ever
going to change.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
It's a sauna at the I'm interested the sauna, said
at the gym I go to.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
It's called O Studios, think chrish Church. But I'd say, like,
I've always had funny, more interesting conversations in the sauna.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
So so is it just you go along and just
all getting the room together?

Speaker 7 (13:18):
Yep?

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Literally, you go on there, you get pretty hot, and
as soon as people start getting a bit of hot,
I guess they start losing their mind a little bit maybe,
and then you know, you never know what you're going
to hear. And I've been. I've sornered all over christ
each and different private, private saunas, public saunas, and everywhere
you go there's different conversations.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
She was water She was a water tester.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah, so she was. She tested her public water supplies.
I think she said that wan Anoy's the worst for mes. Yes,
she definitely made that conclusion.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
God, no small talk. It's right to the nuts and
bolts of the conversation, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Yeah, you never know what you're going to get.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Marcus.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, I've never been to a sauna.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
I go regularly, and it's not like it's a chance
to you know, kind of talk to some new people.
And yeah, it normally a pretty good normally a pretty
good crowd.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
It sounds like talk back but hotter.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah. I love talk back and I love going to on.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
To talk, So yeah, we should combine them. Brilliant. Thank you.
By the way, people think the same thing happens in
areas with cafes and coffees. No one wants the price
to be the most expensive. Anyone else is cheaper, so
there we go. It might be the same with sesame snaps.
Oh we just puttenough to get no calls tonight on
sesame snaps. I think this could be one of the
great unheralded snacks to come all that way from Poland

(14:43):
and still be three for three dollars. Very reasonable. Steve
Whowen though twenty six, we might do something special for
that next year. I don't know what we do. I'm
not going to swim in with stingrays. Oh eight hundred

(15:07):
and eighty said, I'm looking for text but mainly calls
on the things that have been inflation proof for the longest. Oh, here,
here we get the sesame snaps. Texts are coming through Marcus.
You can now get chocolate and yogurt swirls. Sesame snaps
always available at fruit World, Fruit World, fruit What a

(15:27):
great juggle that is fruit World, Fruit World. It's the
world of fruit? Is that right?

Speaker 9 (15:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Maybe fresh makes the will go round? Fruit World, Fruit World.
Haven't bought one of the three pecks sesame steps for ages,
but for the uneducated, they're usually in the healthy food
Snacks aisle? Is there are the impostor there by the
way I think the sesame seeds are healthy, I'm not
quite sure the corn syrupers. Who's paying twenty bucks for

(15:53):
a gram of weed? You should come to me, that
says bread. You can buy bulk pecks of sesame steps
at Costco, thirty three packs for thirty bucks. I often
dwell on the fact that in two thousand and two
it was a three hundred dollars for an ounce of weed.

(16:14):
I remember, because so was gold. Compare them now, Sam, Yeah,
what does that say? I guess gold costs a lot
more to produce with the cost of fuel. Yogurt says
to me, snaps are the pinnacle. I'm not sure if
they are the pinnacle. I've tried them. I think I

(16:35):
was disappointed. I'm just free happy with the old irregular
three pack. If you say some snaps, yes, in the
health aisle, I think normally, but they're an impost there
by the way, I wondered about Royce, what if I
was going to a if I was going to a sauna,
I thought, probably the conversations you had should probably stay

(16:57):
in this. I'm not sure about that. I just I've
never been a story. Just wonted. There's a code of conduct.
What said the sauna stays at the sauna. But anyway,
now we all know about the water testing. I mean
it's public information. Anyway, that's of interest. Marcus the person
was correct. The good oil is a fantastic product, no
price increase. Seeds grow in North Otago South Kendry area.
I use the rape seed oil also. Peter brock Brocki

(17:18):
was killed on the eighth September two thousand and six.
Australia lost two stars in a few days. That's right,
Peter Brock and Steve Irwin. Also this day in christ
Church was the Darfield quake. Now you will know that
obviously if you're in christ Church. It was one of

(17:38):
those quakes where we all remember where we were when
we heard the news about that, because it was a
big quake, and that happened this day in two thousand
and ten, fourth of September. It struck at four thirty
five on a Saturday morning. Considerable damage in central Canterbury,

(18:01):
Sespisih and christ Church, but no loss of life. I
think in hindsight there was a loss if someone had
died subsequently from a heart attack or something that they
experienced there. The EPC center was thirty seven k's west
of christ Church, near the town of Darfield. Remember in
christ Church not long after and you could see all
the walls and stuff and things that were damaged as
a response from that. As a result of that, so

(18:23):
obviously too then the significant after shock happened, which I
think was centered in about Littleton that we know was
the devastating quake of twenty eleven. Get in touch, you've
got to talk. My name is Marcus Hidl tweve o'clock tonight.
The number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. I
struggle with Ika because I struggle with Sylvia Park because,
as you know, overtime I hear Sylvia Park, I start

(18:45):
singing Sylvia's Mother, What a great song that was? Every
time I wish they'd change it. I don't know why
it's called Sylvia Park or Sylvia. I think it was
a race thing. It was where race horses were in
the day. But we are talking about the items that
you have found in your supermarket there that are inflation proof.

(19:06):
Besides the sesame snap. We're including the sesame snap because
they never go up in price. It's the topic for tonight.
If you'd like to partake in that topic, that's the
idea I really love to hear from you. Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine two to text and
the operator says forty cents more get in touch inflation

(19:26):
proof items. Someone said they went to buy a peg
of three big pins and the soup bakeet and he
fell over. The price had gone up to eight dollars.
Oh okay, I thought they were inflation proof, but they're
clearly not. I don't thought they'd be about a dollar
thirty each breathe Marcus with excitement. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and sesame snaps. I don't think they would have.

(19:48):
I think they originally honey, not corn syrup, but I
don't know that for a fact. But do get in
touch of you on to talk. I've got other big topics,
but these are the entry level topics. I do want
to cover this off because I think some of you
will think, Gee, that hasn't gone it much in price?
What is that item twenty eight to nine? If you've
got to add to that, do partake. There's something else

(20:08):
you want to mention. As I say, oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and detext. You might want to
talk about the Darfield quake also, I feel in some
ways it's easy to talk about that than the Chrostchitch
quake of twenty eleven. But do come through. I'll keep
you updated on news around. I see the energy drink

(20:29):
story became a big story today. You see that I'm
bad weather too, heavy rain, snow, severe gales on the
way for parts of New Zealand, snow to four hundi
in South Otago and Southland. Some parts of the country
could have gales eastern Marlborough south of Blenham. Heavy rain

(20:50):
watchers start over night Thursday, lasting well through Friday. Tartardo
arrangers northwest of the South Island and Wesland and the
Otago Headwaters north of Glenorchy won't be the day to
do the dart race. That what I'm saying to you tonight,
looking forward to your calls, particularly nonyone wants to celebrate
the sesame snap, one of life's great snacks. You're not

(21:10):
that hungry, but you're sayesame snap hungry. Never advertise always there.
I think we used to find those with the sanitarium
shop in the day. I remember when they had sanitarium shops,
long long time they went. There was a couple in
Queen Street and Auckland disappeared. Now a great shop if

(21:30):
we get your nuts and you sees me snaps. But
be in touch if you want to talk on this
or anything else. But mainly it's about inflation proof products.
It's quite of curiously, what you are TVs are cheaper
now they used to be. I just brought a Panasonic
sixty five for five ninety nine Marcus. I just joined

(21:52):
what has already been discussed. I'm curious, Marcus. I'm totally
smoke free, not into vaping. My best mate smokes roll
your own. She's playing a dollar each for both a
packet of fields and zig z papers, as I once
did fifteen years ago. Oh okay, So the zigzags and
the filters are inflation proof, Marcus. Tight sweet chili sauces,

(22:16):
inflation proof. You can still buy a bottle for three
dollars fifty. It's probably right now now we get in
the hang of it. This is it, This is what
we want with inflation proof things. The sesame snaps, the
good oil, the Tai chili sauce, and the ziggies and
the rollies, the filters. Brilliant, Paul, it's Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 10 (22:38):
Evening, Marcus. The Sylvia Park. Wasn't that the old Army
workshops or barns?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yes? Yes, that Yanks were there in world? What was
it full of tanks? That those quon set huts, those
half round buildings forever? Yeah, yeah, And I'll tell you
a story about that. Once upon a time they were
repairing sky City for some reason, and we couldn't have

(23:04):
the radio awards there, so we had the radio awards
in one of those huts at Sylvia Park have functions?
Did they? Every school boar? I thought every school ball
was at the Mandalay.

Speaker 10 (23:22):
They did have some out there. I think they were
the ones at one stage with the head Hunters running
the school balls or some bloody thing. And I'm sure
they had.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
No I think the I think the head hunts running
the after parties or something. Is that right? There was
some it was something. I think homes he was involved.
It was, it was, It was a bit. Yeah, it
used to be a It used to be a stud
farm of Sir Marris O'Rourke. Who are you a horse person? No,
because there is a street there named Carbine Road, and

(23:56):
of course Carbine was a famous horse that would fold
at the Sylvia Park stud.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
Interesting, but I don't know what the I.

Speaker 11 (24:05):
Don't know what the name.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh flip, Well, it's going to be chaos when Ike opens. Yeah, yeah,
Riverie planning our furniture change because they've got a store
and in the cargo they'll deliver it around the country
via ship. So I'm excited about that. But Sylvia, Sylvia Park,
I think we've done this topic at the Sylvia Park.
Segueing into Sylvia Sylvia's mother. But I'm up for anything tonight, Paul,

(24:30):
nice to talk to you. Thank you for that twenty
four away from nine inflation proof items. So now great trivia, quick, Dan,
straight to your questions for Christmas? You ready, you've got
your ears on? Dan, what was Sylvia's mother's name? Needs
so needs to go in the quiz and I've got

(24:51):
no idea what it was, missus Avery. I think he
gave your first name. We have to check GPT that
Marcus phone calls have reduced in price. It's no longer
forty cents for more than the next three minutes for
a good point flower rice and always seem to be
the same price. Marcus isn't economic. Stupid things that are

(25:12):
mass produced in mass border off in cheaper ittvs. But
food no inflation proof budget tomato tin unlike my spearmint
thick shake Lucky, I've got my fifth one three that's
from Troy. We're talking about wats inflation proof and we're
talking about Sylvia Park for those who don't know. Sylvia
Park that is in Auckland, and once upon a time

(25:32):
it was a horse dud. Then the Americans moved there
and had heaps of barracks there, those Quoslet huts, Quandset
huts or Nissan huts they called those half round ones.
And then they knocked all of that down. They built
Sylvia Park, which is probably New Zealand's Auckland's most successful maul.

(25:55):
And now Ikea is going to be part of it.
And already there's car chaos there and calm again when
Ikea opens the city, how much ground to ground to
a standstill? Are there good things to buy at Sylvia Park?
I brought some mug boots there, that's right, that's the
last thing I purchased there. Well, when those pop up

(26:17):
stores in the middle acture, I didn't buy this. I
actually didn't buy them at Sylvia Park. I looked at though,
I preshot them there, then went to found myself in dressed.
But later on the same ones were there. That's me
though to a tea. Once I get am all on
a start going to all of them lines for if
you want to talk twenty one away from nine, we're
talking about things that seem to be inflation proof TVs.

(26:40):
Tenneise dollar mixture's sesame snaps. By the way, no one
seems to have the love of sesame steps that I have, Marcus,
balloons are the one thing you don't want to be
inflation proof free. Good, I see what you did there,
Thank you. Butter is inflation proof. It's always eight dollars fifty.
Sanitarium Health fridge shops used to have gorgeous whole dried bananas.

(27:03):
There was a straw in dcron in a couple of
years ago. They had bulk almonds. They had been contaminated
by dried garlic. My mum, what heaps them at cheap
price for us to snack on. The most inflation proof
thing I know is my wages. Great show. Well, thank
you for that, Stephen. This is Marcus. Welcome to the
E Waves.

Speaker 12 (27:21):
Yeah, as you're talking about Sylvia Park. It was originally
a horse stud and Carabine. There was a statue of
Carabine at the end of Carabine Road as it went
into Sylvia Park. Now that statue got shifted to Ellerslie,
and I understand it's up in the domain. Now is

(27:42):
it really moved again? Here there's this proper statue of
Carabine very very or early history, you know, sort of
early nineteen hundreds, nine five or something. I've got a
book all about that somewhere. I must get it out
and go through it again, remind my memory.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
But yeah, Stephen, how good was Carbine?

Speaker 12 (28:11):
Apparently he was as he was as good as at
the of the time. He was as good as any
any race horse.

Speaker 13 (28:21):
He was.

Speaker 12 (28:22):
He was a yeah, well you know, one of a
bit like a bone crusher of it, you know.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
But from what you beaten Philip.

Speaker 12 (28:32):
Oh, he'd be in the same he'd be in the
same league.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, wonderful.

Speaker 12 (28:39):
I think he'd been overseas. I think he'd been to
Sydney or something.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
One of the Melbourne Cup, I think you Okay.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
So.

Speaker 12 (28:49):
He'd be there. Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh, that's sketchy about questions. I've got the if it's confronting,
give me a question.

Speaker 12 (29:00):
Blowing their pudin. Has he got a wife? Does he
have children?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
He's got a gymnast daughter. I think she's mysterious.

Speaker 12 (29:11):
I've never you never see it when he's out with
his wife.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
No, well, he's got Nick's wife.

Speaker 14 (29:20):
He's got next wife would Mila, And.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
He's got two children, Maria and Katarina.

Speaker 12 (29:28):
Okay. What I just say though, was what those looking
at TV tonight they've got a where they've been meeting
for talking to the Chinese president that I've got a
person that can read lips. He's so talking to is

(29:53):
that they're talking about living for eternity.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You'll be honest, we're going to chronic suspend the year.
That's your classic. That's your classic.

Speaker 12 (30:03):
Be apart. If he's got something, we is out he
can get the trends, plant or something and lived for eternity.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
She is nice to hear from Stephen. Thank you. Bobert's
Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 9 (30:16):
Yeah, Marc's probably been off subject because I don't watch
what you're talking about. But oh no, we talked about
rubbish bins there while that yellow ones and read one
with the red lids on them. You know we're recycling
at it. Who and when do they take the right
away for me to be out to have a forty
four gun drum on my section and burned ninety percent
of the rubbish. Why are they insisting we send it off?

(30:38):
They complain about so much rabbits being in the recycling
for years and years and nears. I just took out
of the back Adam burn the bluddy Oh I what.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
A fantastic thing that was, you know, although everything Yeah, yeah,
the old newspapers just do it, yeah, Bob, go ahead and.

Speaker 9 (30:52):
Do it, yeah, because I who tells me I can't
do it?

Speaker 14 (30:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
The cat burned at night? Have you have you been?
Have you have you been stopped?

Speaker 9 (31:03):
Oh no, I've been having a performance with watching the
rabbish bins? Is this right? Is this wrong? Or they
only take one bin? Because I had something else and
it wasn't supposed.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
To be having a bad day, Bob.

Speaker 15 (31:15):
It wasn't only me.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
It was three or four people at the council flat.
Someone didn't wash a bottle of that, so I ended
up putting it all in the country bed and taking it.

Speaker 16 (31:22):
Up to the two.

Speaker 9 (31:24):
But other worse quickly, and the quick subject market is
a scam going around. They rang my daughter. They rang
my daughter the other day and told her how pretty
she was. I don't know where they got the info from,
how pretty she was, and if she'd come to Auckland
they could give us some modeling work. But oh yes,
she had to go to Auckland in her own expense
and then pow one hundred dollars for photos and then
they would get hers some modeling work. Of course, it's

(31:46):
just a scan.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
How old is she?

Speaker 9 (31:49):
Oh, she's quite old. She will not quite old, she's
thirty on.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Okay, well this could be a big this could be
a big break, bob.

Speaker 9 (31:56):
Oh, I don't think so.

Speaker 15 (31:58):
Just getting up the bloody photos.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
And I think there's always been modeling scams where they
take photos in charge you for that, all right. I
think it plays on people's vanity that perhaps maybe I
could be a model.

Speaker 15 (32:10):
Well I've never given me a ring.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
No, Well yeah, I think they probably want all interesting types,
is it? Do you Shore? Do you share bins at
your flats?

Speaker 11 (32:20):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
That they could. There could be all sorts of conflict,
couldn't it.

Speaker 15 (32:24):
Yeah, Well I've had a lot I've had.

Speaker 9 (32:26):
I've been to the people who look after the flats
for the Cancil but they say that two two boons,
red one and the yellow one for two flats. Okay,
But then what happened is I put mine and I
put mine and rubbish and the guy next to me
doesn't want to into the next one along.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Hell yeah, you don't want to be a curtain twitter.
You're watching the person what they're putting in a place.

Speaker 9 (32:47):
But they won't pay for it. You know it's too
deear to have one each. Well, I'll pay for it,
so just give me the two bintons.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
It might be time for you to move on, is it, Bob?

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (32:59):
No, No, I can't move on.

Speaker 15 (33:00):
That's as cheap.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
I like it.

Speaker 16 (33:02):
It's cheap.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Okay, in the house trick there for a while, is it?

Speaker 9 (33:06):
I sold that recently? Yeah, because of my Hip's a bargain.
I've had a hip operation on one and they want
to do the other one. And when I was driving
around manually, it was okay. But if I drive safe
from here to twice ally, the time I got there,
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Bundy walk oh shades okay, But.

Speaker 9 (33:20):
Anyway, I just was annoyed the fact that you can't
win a forty four gull and drum like you used to.
And that would get rid of all the recycling and
stop these baggers from moaning.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Brilliant, that's what we want, Bob common senseless twelve away
from nine, eight hundred and eighty eight eighty, all that
great stuff going into the atmosphere. Imagine being married to
Sylvia and she'd be on the phone of Sylvia's Mother
of the Year woom the whole time, wouldn't you ah,
Sylvia's Mother? What a great song. See the texts are
good tonight. We're getting the recurring themes. There's some callbacks.

(33:54):
Now Here's what people are saying. Strip club, strip club
entry has gone hasn't gone up? In thirty five years?
Was twenty dollars late eighties still twenty bucks. Carbine won
the Melbourne Cap in eighteen thirty nine and record I'm
won thirty three forty three starts. I got that out
of a racing book. Bob is a frustrated hobby polluter.
That's right. Marc's after the Army Sylvie Park of the

(34:17):
old Hut to be used by the post office as
their main store. They sent stuff there from all over
New Zealand. Gavin Marcus, listening to you thirty minutes later
on demand, just added Sesame Snap to my online shopping
for Saturday. I thought we'd get one call. Anyone else
want to join me to worship the sesame Snap? I
love them often I've got a hunger that only a

(34:38):
Sesame Snap can fix. Always three for three for three dollars,
even at Costco. Air fares to Sydney have always been
about six hundred return. Marc has been hit for sixty
four years today. Every time I go to the supermancu
By wilet also seems always seems to shrink. No inflation.

(34:59):
We are talking about what products at the SuperMac and
what products you buy never go up in price. Seems
to be ten trips to Australia, sesame, snaps, tinnies and
good oil. You got anything to add, I'd like to
hear you also talking about Sylvia Peck Park. That's a
back topic. I think you can still burn rubbish if

(35:22):
you're rural. I've got a footy gallon drum. Quite hard
to take the top actually not that hard to take
the top off, Easier than I thought. There's still a
lot of oil in the bottom of it anyway, and
that works all right. They lose their color quite quickly,
but yes, not good in the urban area. I'm just

(35:43):
trying to think as I go down the Sylvia Sylvia's
Mother rabbit hole. Would Doctor Hawk be the most famous
person that wears an eye patch. There's not many other
people who have consistently worn one as well as he has.
I presume he just had one eye. To presume it
wasn't just for effect. But wow, I'm sure his name's
not doctor Hockey, there is it. Maybe that's name of

(36:05):
the band of voice seen him as been doctor Hock,
that great voice. Ten dollars worth of chips from the
fish and chip shop is still ten dollars mark as
I do miss my old man burning toxic fume and
garbage in a breeze block fireplace down on the back
floor in the eighties, Such simpler times. Gosh, didn't people

(36:25):
love it? And it seems therapeutic. There be people that's
been their whole weekend stoking the fire, wet newspapers clippings
up the lot and the old bleeze breeze block tower.
You're quite right. I paid twenty five for tinny today,
Thank you. Motorcycle registration on holds still free. No inflation.

(36:48):
So we talk about things that haven't changed in price
and famous people with eye patches. Have we got any
famous New Zealands with eye patches? Have we What about
that busking guy? Anyway? Do come through? We're talk about
what's beep? Something's beeped? Did you ever beep something's beeped?

(37:08):
Apparently Trump today blamed wind turbines on supposed increase in
whales strandings? Is that right? I might have to fact
check that one. You've got to fact check everything these days.
I don't think Trump had mentioned whales strandings. I thought
that was beyond it. But you know, anything to get
the conversation off Epstein. Oh yes, he has said it

(37:31):
was in twenty twenty three said that wind farms were
caused of spike in whale deaths. What a crazy thing
to say. Anyhow, get in touch if you want to
talk our full time in the rugby same score twenty
two to nineteen counties have won that Because you wonder

(37:55):
about their whole North Harbor rugby experiment. This seems to
be a disaster, doesn't it. Then they got the shield
after all those years they had nowhere for a parade
where they have it downtech through Milford or something. It's like,
that's not a road. It was embarrassing. I've always thought
about that. You're going on the shield, you've got no
main street to take it down. Oh that's a good point. Yeah,

(38:23):
the texts of real good keep those coming. People. We
are talking about items that seem to have managed to
avoid the pressure of inflation, things that never go up
in price the things that have been the same price
for every interesting discussion. If you've got something to add, jumpin'.
Also talking about eye patches, I said to who, apart

(38:44):
from the guy from Doctor Rock, would be a well
known person who has an eyepatch doctor hook rather And
I'm saying not many people and us end we're eye patches.
But someone's quite rightly pointed out every cantabrin has an
eye patch. Marcus McDonald's fifty cent soft serve has been
one over a dollar for years. I still ask for
fifty cent soft serve without success. That's from dinner Marcus. Ocean.

(39:08):
When turbines do affect ocean mammals, the noise and construction
upset my gratory roots. Leslie, Trent, this is Marcus. Good evening, Trent, welcome. Hey,

He has year long time running now mate.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, good on you, Tret, nice to talk. There we go.
That's the book of Coey correspond at fourteen past nine.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty to the things that
are inflation proof, brilliant the things that never said have
gone up in price. You got some suggestions for me.
I'd love to hear you about that. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. You thought cheapest creepers, they've never gone up.

(41:37):
I thought big pens, but apparently big pens are much
more expensive. I've bought a pen for a long long time.
It's not my thing pens anymore. Uh no, no, no, no, no, oh, yes,
I've talked about The Darfield quake was fifteen years ago today,
in two thousand and ten, four forty three in the morning.

(41:59):
Some of you will remember that, and hopefully it wasn't
as a herrying experience as the after shock those months later.
But the other story I have EMRK for tonight that
you might want to talk about as well, because you
might have some memories about and I have a lot
of memories about it because it seemed to be a
really surprising and long, a long involved story.

Speaker 9 (42:29):
And that was.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
The sinking of the Captain Bougainville. Anyone remember that happened
fifty years ago this week. It was the ship that
was wrecked off fan and Nuki, and it was a
big deal because it seemed to be one of those
disasters that took a long long time to happen. So
Northland's worst maritime disaster. I know, there was that wreck

(42:54):
up of ninety mile Beach, that boat that sunk, But
they unveiled a memorial recently and the ship's captain was there.
The frenchman and his wife, baby, grand baby daughter and
two step children are amongst those listed on the memorial.

Speaker 16 (43:15):
So the ship the.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Captain Borgenviold left Auckland day early, was destined for Sydney
with a supply of meat and dairy products. To deliver
a crew of twenty nine and eight passages were on
board when a fire broke out in the engine room,
directly by the lifebirds boats. The freighter was bantered by
an Eastley storming a twelve meter swell wow b lined
for safety anchoring off Vananaki. The smoke was so dense

(43:38):
the ship had to be abandoned at three point forty
in the morning. The captain was the last person off
the ship and the lifeboats were cast into mountainous seas
with a strong current amid a seventy k wind. Some
people drowned when their lifeboats campsized, others died from the cold.
Among them were people from Fiji, Britain, France, the Philippines

(43:59):
and New Zealand. Locals in the coastal Committee were said
to have risked their own lives to save survivors and
cover bodies. And then the fire seemed to burn for
a long long time, if memory serves me right, So
if you've got some recollection to that, I thought it
was significant to remember that, says survivors came ashore at

(44:19):
three points, someone had been in the water for hours,
as most were tipped from the two lifeboats in the
single raft. Two days later install a blaze. The ship
was towed to Marston Point by a harborboard. Tug holes
were cut into its side so far fighting machinery could
distinguish the fire. It was then towed to fanga A Port.

(44:40):
Yes says a trace of the Captain Bourgerville can be
found far from them or in the theater of the
same name in Forum North fanga A. The ship's bell
a life ring and all still on the walls of
the theater built with the ill fated ship's salvage fees.

Speaker 9 (45:01):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
If anyone remembers the rescue any part of that, I'd
be curious to know about that. That was fifty years ago.
To so do get in touch, as I say, Oh
eight hundred eighty ten eighty nineteen nine two de texts.
That's something else you might want to mention, as well
as sesame snaps and Sylvia Park and doctor Hook anything else,
Get in touch hitdi twelve o'clock, oh eight hundred eighty

(45:25):
ten eighty and nineteen nine two to text. This seems
still seems to be a situation with his bomb threat
in Nelson, suspicious item and alleged threat the Army are
in where there were that the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team.
Ordnance Disposal Team has been called, so I'll keep you
covered with that throughout the course of the evening. Marcus Cura,

(45:51):
Marcus slick Rick or an eyepatch. I've got one of
his albums in with the hip Hop records. That's right,
slick Rick. I think that might have been an affectation.
I think the guy from Doctor Howckett was a genuine one,
but actually watching the video again, he wasn't really the singer.
He was more that. What was he the backing vocalist?

(46:11):
Seemed like it's more than that. But certainly when you
think of Doctor Hook, you always think of him with
the eyepatch and the kind of the bettered hat. It's
a great look. By the way, it's a great band. Kevin,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 18 (46:26):
Hi Marcus, long time listener, seventh time caller.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Oh well, thank you for your seventh.

Speaker 18 (46:34):
Seventh time call. I think anyway, two items that Missus
Savory was Sill's mother.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
I think, oh yes, but didn't say a first name,
did it.

Speaker 19 (46:45):
No, Please, Missus Savory, I've just got to tell her goodbye. Yeah,
what a fantastic song there is Yeah and needs the
Kavan and Bergainballe.

Speaker 18 (46:57):
At the time, that was early September seventy five, I
was a light house keeper on Moco Heel in the
alt Hay Golf and Wow, as it turned out, I
was doing my watch. We were doing the annual gas
flighting test where to wear an alternative light for the

(47:18):
main navigation light, and was using our kerosene with the
mixture of compressed ear and a kerosene vapor, just like
a big Tillie lamp, you know. And we had to
man that light physically and be there in present present
while it was burning. And I had to wind up
the clockwright mad and keep the linbs rotating around the

(47:42):
light every a or three quarters an hour I think
it was. And I saw a flare and I raced
the end of the radio room. I wrung the principal keeper,
who was Ray Walter since deceased, and I told him
I was fairly said, we'll get on the tea and

(48:03):
calls out on the Auckland radio, but I couldn't get through.
It was celans distressed because they're already handling it, and
so we didn't see anything on the horizon. It was
that off Cape Rodney. I think when the fire broke
out and the engine room I think it was there
if you threw a league out of bed an engine and.

Speaker 16 (48:22):
Anyway, oh, a.

Speaker 18 (48:24):
Few weeks later I think I went a short one
Ray and on my way to another posting and the
receiver of wrecks there was don't laugh for his name
was Phil Seaman and that was his actual name, Phil Seaman.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that is true.

Speaker 18 (48:47):
Yeah, And anyway, he showed me around the wreck and yeah,
it was quite devastating really, but that's my memory of it.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Was it, Kevin I in twelve meter swells? Was it
a storm or was it just the currents?

Speaker 14 (48:59):
I mean was it?

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Was it bad weather?

Speaker 20 (49:02):
No?

Speaker 18 (49:02):
Not from the memory, It's just heavy swells running the
Heracan go out, Harry, he go for some beeg swels
coming in. We were way out on the Wapops, you know,
as far as Marilond distance goes. We were one of
the third most remote lights station. There was Kuber Island
and Piusica Point.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
And of course Ray Walter I'd bit him. He was
He went on to work for dock at Terry, didn't
he he was involved in the Yeah, he seemed to
be a nice guy.

Speaker 18 (49:30):
He was a real nice guy.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Yeah, why did Why did you test the guests? Was
that in case the power shut down?

Speaker 18 (49:38):
Yeah, at A as a very large resort, in case
a freak accident, highly highly unlikely. We had three diesel
electric generators there, as all the offshore stations did. One
was the duty generator. The other two were on standby,
so if one failed, mate would start automatically and take

(49:59):
over the load. But we had to still and there
was an archaic ruled actually once a year on all
the stations with the standby gas, and I think it
was pretty much all of them. We had to test
the system to make sure it was still up and
running and all the lines were clear and all that
sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
I guess also a lot of too. What probably the
productcol for lighthouse keepers was just to keep them busy
as well, to stop them just sort of because you know,
I mean I imagined for a lot of them that
the madness could set in.

Speaker 18 (50:32):
No, not really, we didn't have a turn. It's called
rock happy. Some did go that way, especially at Pusiga,
but it was really just too a procedural thing as
to keeping the men busy on a remote station. There
was always something to do. It was never an only job.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Rilliant. Nice to hear from you, Kevin, great call. Thank
you for that. Twenty past that night, we're talking the
wreck of the Bougainville, the Captain Bougainville, and the Captain too.
He was in New Zealand for the memorial and vaiter
he lost his children. It's missus a not savory about bees,
not a bakery. Oh Avery, I get it. Marcus apparently

(51:14):
slickric lost and eys a young fellow. No affectation some
of his albums. Albums have been rescued on Vinyl originals
worth some coin.

Speaker 19 (51:21):
Now.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I remember the Captain Bergainville disaster. I was on Great
Barrier Island at the time. The huge swells running on
to the northern coast were dearly ebbitt Marcus philip of
the wife of the Captain, was the eldest daughter of
my mother's matron of honor. Her maiden name was philipp
A Stanaway. Please, missus Gabriel is how the song went.

(51:48):
We are talking about Captain Hook. Captain Hook and the
cap Capertain Bourgainville are sinking. Of course, I think that
that Northland's most deadly shipwreck was one of those ships
that went down off Spirits Bay. You remember the name
of it, and it was to this day remains a mystery.

Speaker 21 (52:07):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
One of the home deans was it?

Speaker 17 (52:08):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Some of them will know Altho. I do like talking
about shipwrecks, but I do find it slightly woodland. Someone
will text me through that one. But yes, if that's
what we are talking, inflation, beating things, sesame snaps, sylvia
park and eye patches. But these are just suggested topics.

(52:32):
There'll be other stuff you want to talk about. Twenty
two past nine. Keep those emails and texts coming through.
I don't know when. I don't know if when Trump
was talking about whale strandings he was referring to wind
farms at sea. Maybe he was. But yes, she's got
a busy mind, hasn't he, Old Old Trump? Are a

(52:53):
lot going on there. But if you want to talk,
as I say, lines are free twenty two I like
people that count how many times they've called seven time caller.
That's pretty good. Be a part of it, people, And
if I've got news for you. But the big news
tonight seems to be the bomb scorn in Nelson. I've
never heard those two stories together for a long, long while,

(53:17):
if ever, but yeah, be a part of if you
want to talk eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
also the dale Field quake. I don't know if anyone's
got any special memories from that morning, but fifteen years
Oh no, that's the other question I meant to talk about.
As I said, there's a lot to talk about today.

(53:39):
The funicular in Lisbon, beautiful looking thing bucket list died
and for me, I just wonder if anyone had been
on that funicular furnace fornicular Forarnicularum, I guess it's a
rope one. I guess there was no. I don't quite
know what happened with it. I don't know why it's snapped,
but yeah, I just thought somebody might have been to
Lisbon and been on that. That would be of interest

(54:00):
to me, because some of those funiculars are powered by water.
The way of the water carries that one down and
the other one up. I don't know if that's the
case with that one. It doesn't look like it looking
at the shots. Twenty six past nine, Hello Evan, this
is Marcus. Welcome good evening evening, Evan.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
I used to have dinner up on Terry Lighthouse squat
a bit while we're longlining.

Speaker 8 (54:26):
Out round Terry Island.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Ah, you back in the day, back when I was
about eight or keen?

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Did they ask you on to the island?

Speaker 15 (54:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (54:35):
Yeah, we used to go up there. We used to
know them quite well up there.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Were you crewing for your father at eight or nine?

Speaker 9 (54:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (54:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
The other thing I wanted to talk about was what
we're going to do when the bottles of gas are
no longer we have to go ashore and ride a barbecue.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
How long has guests got to last?

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Well, it's scary, is it the way they're talking.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Well, it's gone up in price. I speaking of Mat
today that heats his house with gas and jiggets pricey.

Speaker 22 (55:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
I just went into the swap a bottle today.

Speaker 15 (55:05):
Fifty two dollars.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
How much it used to be when you remember it?

Speaker 13 (55:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Yeah, I think I stayed at forty two for a
long time, didn't Okay?

Speaker 2 (55:14):
I always thought they about fifteen, but that was probably
twenty years since I've refilled a swapper bottle.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Yeah, if you get a refall. There is a garage
that does a refall by the pack and say that,
and that's twenty nine I think. But yeah, I couldn't
walk that far with a gas bottle.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
No, no, you need a little trolley for it or something.
Do you They're all right with empty, but they're heavyweight
when they're full.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
Well yeah it's okay, yeah, very heavy. When I fell ik,
I took a little dingy up to oh, we're the
rowing club is by the school, up a bit further
than where I am. Yeah, and gas station just there.
But yeah, fifty two bucks for swapper bottle?

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Do you leave the oars on the boat?

Speaker 4 (55:56):
I got a little outboard.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Oh of course you have clear I asked it. I
thought felt like a stupid question. That's a good answer.
Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
Yeah, yeah, man, stood Dave.

Speaker 13 (56:06):
I wear an eye patch, but where you can't see it,
but you know one eight Cantebrian and all.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Yeah, you guys, should you know how the people some
people have the buckets? You know, you guys should start
taking that as your thing.

Speaker 13 (56:20):
Well, we I think we do.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Oh do I didn't know that? Okay? Do people wear
eye pitches?

Speaker 13 (56:26):
Yeah, but invisible ones.

Speaker 14 (56:27):
We're just one Okay, fair enough yes, the rest of the.

Speaker 13 (56:31):
Country pretty you know. But hey, September the four point
thirty in the morning, and it was a Greendale fault,
as I remember it recorded, the Greendale faults. He was
a hell of a jolt, four thirty in the morning
year who can forget. No loss of life, no real
property damage except one hell of a shape.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
There are a lot of like brick fences and stuff down.
I remember driving around there and seeing quite a bit
of fence's west of christ Church seemed to be affected.

Speaker 13 (57:03):
Yes, west, Yes, that's right, Yes, I remember it as
the Greendale fault.

Speaker 15 (57:08):
I was karting four.

Speaker 13 (57:09):
I was working on a substation or literal substation out
round dunsand or it's off Telegraph Road, Courtney Courtney Road.
It's got a permanent king, can it. Well, it's it's
a bit of a diversion. And that was from the
results of the earthquake, from the Greendale Greendale fault.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
That's how I I just got headlines coming up. Do
you remember what the Richter scale? Was it eight point
four or something?

Speaker 7 (57:39):
Was it or seven point eight seven point one?

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Okay, good to hear from you, Dave, Thank you, Yeah,
nice stuff. Appreciate that. Eight hundred, you know the rest
Marcus till twelve. It's funnily enough actually that I was
just tooked of Dan during the news because we talked
in energy drinks last night. Became a big story todaycause
they picked up on the English story. But I don't
know if the political time we're living in, or it's

(58:03):
the vibe, or people have too much to worry about.
But there were every damp response or a muted response
yesterday about banning energy drinks. Four or five years ago.
You get people up in arms about banning something, they'd
be excited beside themselves ban this ban that the mood
seems to have changed. Yes, I was kind of surprised
about that with energy drinks. I'm not saying I want
to relitigate the topic, but yeah, I was surprised how

(58:26):
ambivalent people were about energy drinks. That there's been so
many calls to try and teach our children to eat
better or put incentives to have them with less sugary
foods and stuff like that, but no one cares. Whereas
in the United States with RFK, he's obsessed about all
this stuff. That's his rais on deetra diet and getting

(58:49):
the kids. Right, he's too obsessed about it because he's
anti vaccine and all sorts of stuff. But yeah, it
seems here there's no mood for that change. Can't quite
explain that. What the psychology of that is a couple
of good stories about the quake story from christ Your
you earthquake. Went out drinking some mates and probably had
a few too many, got home around two am, slept

(59:11):
through the earthquake. Earthquake broke up the next morning. Thought
because I was so drunk, I had moved furniture, taken
pictures off the walls, and broken plates and other things.
It wasn't til I read the news that I realized
it wasn't me. Probably one of the few people in
christ Church that was had glad to hear that it
was a quake. Yes, that guy was right. It was
the Greendale fault. My mate lives five hundred meters from me,

(59:34):
he reminded me today. Fifteen years I lived in Brighton
and pretty much every single chimney was down chairs Marcus
from Andrew brilliant good texts keep it going. So it's
a bit of everything tonight. The wreck of the Captain
Bougainville fifty years ago this week, the death of Steve Irwin,

(59:55):
the Greendale fault fifteen years ago, the christ Church quake,
and things that are inflation proof, including set to me snaps.
No one quite feels seems to feel the love for
the sesame snap that I do. One of the greats.
And they've been around forever, never changed, been around for

(01:00:18):
never advertised, don't need to always just there on the shelves,
don't know who eats them, never see anyone else by
them besides myself. Ah so jumping. If these are topics
for you, keeping my water up, you'll be pleased to
know if anyone else's got something to say, Yes, that's
what we're on about tonight, Sesame snaps, eye pictures, Doctor Hook.

(01:00:42):
Sylvia Park. Because the way it normally goes, it normally
goes the way my conversation, my mind goes. It always
goes ikea opening Sylvia Park, Sylvia's Mother, Doctor HOWK. That's
how my flow of consciousness always goes. Because every time
I hear Sylvia's Park, that's where I start singing. There's

(01:01:02):
some good there's some good songs, doctor HOWK. What if
they're still touring? Never liked the cover of the Rolling Stone,
but always liked I'm just look at the hits.

Speaker 7 (01:01:17):
I liked.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
What was the other one that was a great song?
I were in love with a beautiful woman. That was
quite good. Sharing the night. It always a bit mawkish,
but good. A baby makes a blue jeans to talk.
Terrible song, I always thought, but look looking forward to
you and put to eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine to text hit tele twelve. Is
there's something different you want to talk about? County's Monaco

(01:01:41):
had a good win there? Who do you say? It
was sponsored by oh something? Holmes is it was Eco Light,
which I could ever work out who they were, But yep,
let's hear from your people, Marcus till twelve. Anything else
you want to talk about, I'm.

Speaker 15 (01:01:55):
Up for it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Keep it going. By the way, I got the rugby
league starting soon. I'll keep you updated on that one.
Because of Brisbane wins this, it's number two who plays
number four. I think if Brisbane wins ys the Warrior
can't be top four because they'll be playing mainly tomorrow
for Deli Cherry Errands as last match. So let's hope

(01:02:22):
that we go into that knowing if we wouldn't we
get in the top four that well? I think Kronulla's
got to play as well. But yeah, if every game
goes to form, we should be in the top four.
That's my take on that. Christ This is Marcus good evening.
Hello Marcus, Hi, Chris welcome, Yeah, goodame mate, hell are
y Yeah good, thanks thanks for ringing.

Speaker 16 (01:02:41):
Are you were talking about the earthquakes in christ search? Yes, yeah,
I was in the earthquake back in September.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (01:02:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:02:52):
It was very very scary.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Mm because it's the middle of the night too, which
is always weird because you're lying down and you know,
you get you know, it's not you'll feel it in beads.
Sometimes in your daytimes you don't realize it, but beds
you will.

Speaker 16 (01:03:06):
Yeah. Yeah, well I pretty much got thrown out of bed.
It was like yeah, fourth thirty five in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Yeah, and actually thrown onto the floor.

Speaker 16 (01:03:19):
Well well pretty much I pretty much did.

Speaker 13 (01:03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:03:23):
Yeah, I was staying with a friend in Dallington and
yeah it was yeah, it was. Yeah. It wasn't good
at all.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
It was pretty scary and it shook for a while,
did it.

Speaker 16 (01:03:39):
Yeah Yeah, I'm not too sure how long it shocked
for but it was quite some time.

Speaker 14 (01:03:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
When that's the amazing story about the quake for me.
As they always talk about after shocks, but boy, oh boy,
was at a real lesson and after shocks when that
subsequent quake, which was that after shock, was just so deadly.

Speaker 16 (01:04:01):
Ah, it was yeah, well we I mean I got
out of bed and we went outside. Everything we had
no power, we had nothing, everything was out and next
minute the whole street that I was living on was
just full of water. All the pots of pots are
burst and it was just it was one big flood.

Speaker 11 (01:04:25):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
I've just realized reading about it today in my research.
Because the quake was so shallow at just ten k's
and thirty seven k's west of christ Church, it produced
the strongest shaking if recorded in New Zealand. Oh really
yeah yeah yeah, so it's no surprises you near the
odea be Indllington at your mates.

Speaker 14 (01:04:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:04:50):
And then we had the lipifaction, which yeah, it was.
It was a plenty nightmare.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Because we never even knew that was a word before then,
did we. That was kind of brand new for us.

Speaker 16 (01:05:02):
Well exactly because I'm from Wellington and and yeah, we
I never even heard of that that word before, so
it was it was pretty much, yeah, pretty much a
new word for me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
And were you there for the subsequent quake?

Speaker 16 (01:05:22):
Oh that for everyone? Yes? No, no, I've gone back
up to Rota. Okay, Okay, so yeah I didn't. I
wasn't new for that one, but I'm glad I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Actually, Yeah, but look, look, yeah, I mean I still
hear in people's voices the the anxiety and the trauma
that that caused. I mean, it's you know, it's it's
not quite fifteen years on, but boy, oh boy, you
can still you can still hear people struggling with that one.

Speaker 16 (01:05:58):
I know, I mean, Marcus, I mean, I'm living in
Wellington in an apartment complex, and when you get an
earthquake here, I just I just yeah, yeah, I'll just
freaky out.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Oh well what it was a sad day, wasn't. Yeah.
It was a sad day because I remember because I
was filming the next morning, and I was filming on
Margoli Bridge with John Gedsby of all things, and just
checking my I don't know, I have a cell phone
in those days, but heard the news as I went
there that so I remember vividly where I was. But yeah,
I appreciate you coming through Christ nice stuff. Twenty away
from nineteen. I got Marcus still twelve, so we can talk.

(01:06:34):
And by the way we talk about quakes. I'm happy
to talk about the quake and Christ Jurch the Quaker
fifteen years ago because I don't think it's I don't think.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
It's a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
More than thing to talk about. I don't think it's
kind of grief tourism. I think it's you know, I
do feel for people when the anniversary of the quake
that called all those people comes around, because yeah, because
I can understand people just wanting that time to pass.
But I think this one, probably for me, is okay
to talk about. If you beg to forgive me a holler.

(01:07:12):
This is our Marcus. Good evening, Hey.

Speaker 7 (01:07:16):
Marcus, how I am good?

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Thank you?

Speaker 17 (01:07:17):
Well you can hear us?

Speaker 20 (01:07:19):
All right?

Speaker 16 (01:07:20):
Yeah? Good?

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Thanks for asking and getting you really clear, getting a
good read from you.

Speaker 23 (01:07:25):
How something else that happened that day in the South
pind was the plane crash and box less you which
killed seven people?

Speaker 9 (01:07:33):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Is that the same day as this as a September catquake?

Speaker 23 (01:07:38):
Ye?

Speaker 15 (01:07:39):
The same day?

Speaker 23 (01:07:39):
Yeah, you're right, three three bag Paka tourists, I think
went up with three sky coping instructors.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
And that modified the modified the plane, hadn't they they'd
moved the cheese or something.

Speaker 23 (01:07:54):
They modified it the year the findings was it the
whole load move which were great. They seem to agree
with you when you know where you loaded and basically
stalled and pushed to be around.

Speaker 16 (01:08:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:08:14):
Just anyway, that's the hits up. Something else head in
that day.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Which quite right, we didn't because there was a big
plan and we had There was a big plane crash.

Speaker 23 (01:08:25):
A big plane was the top dresser Pine Tops.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
There were nine people died in that.

Speaker 23 (01:08:32):
Okay, yes, so there was four skydiving instructors three four
all the beggers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Yeah the direct you said in direct Skydlife direct year.
I'm seeing all their names there.

Speaker 16 (01:08:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Did you experience the quake as well?

Speaker 23 (01:08:54):
I just don't know that on that particular day they're
getting as well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):

(01:09:43):
pilot from the Fox River Fox Classia instant. He became
a social media person and him there was tragedy there
the second generation. If you remember that, storkn't quite remember that, Marcus.
Thank you for your empathy and acknowledging the trauma the
quakes caused in Christ which I was two k's f

(01:10:04):
fifteen years ago, trying to reach my children's bedrooms. Amongst
the violence have been streamed against walls, smeshing glass, earthquake
lights to bright white flesh as a phenomenon I'll never unsee.

Speaker 9 (01:10:14):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Wow, Diane ats Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:10:22):
Yeah, hi Marcus. I'll start off with the very first
earthquake i'd ever felt was there, Nagahua Junction one, quite
a few years ahead of that one, but right coming
back to the September one, I was just getting out
of bed to go to the kitchen to get a
drink of water, and next minuting I fell back onto

(01:10:42):
the bed. I thought, oh, that feels like an earthquake.
So I had some people from the UK stain, so
I went down the passageway, banged on the door. I said, yeah, okay.
They said, oh, what was it? I said, just an earthquake.
And then I went outside the front door and the
neighbor had come out I lived in a coulder, sat
there and he said, oh, it is everything. Okay, I

(01:11:06):
see year. So we've got talking there for a minute
in the middle of the road and that, and all
of a sudden, down Travis Road, there was a stream
of traffic going heading towards the city. And about fifteen
minutes later they all came back. And that and a
few weeks after that, I was driving around and we

(01:11:27):
had quite a good shake on the road and that,
and all of a sudden, the car started to rock
and I looked up and saw the powerline swaying and
people running out of their houses, and I said, oh,
another earthquake.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Why did all the cars go into town then come back?

Speaker 24 (01:11:44):
Well, they just I don't know it it's most probably
leaving the you know, seaside southern because I was at
Berlin and were they getting with the ground most probably, so.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
It was for fear of tsunamis veh was it because
of fear of Tsunamis?

Speaker 24 (01:12:02):
Well at the time on the radio, I'm a transistor
on and that and yeah, I guess that was it.
But it was quite funny. About fifteen minutes later they
were all coming back.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
You said the report there was, Diane, thank you for that. Hello,
David Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:12:20):
Good Marcus. Yeah, I'm in quite a special predicament. I
was actually in Christich for both their earthquakes there, and
then I was living in Corcorra when the earthquakes.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
Oh wow, well wow, well that they follow you.

Speaker 21 (01:12:34):
Yeah, yeah, I've had that A few people say that
to me. Yeah, it's pretty wild for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
And they're both they're both at night, weren't.

Speaker 21 (01:12:45):
They they were yep, yep. I was tucked up in
bed and yeah, it caught me off guard, to be honest.
They're all very violent, I think.

Speaker 25 (01:12:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:12:57):
The corcor One lasted, you know, quite a bit longer
with that whole peninsula listing. If you know about five
you know was unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Unbelievable that I mean even if you drive down now
we've got the bus down, you know, and the driver
just the road services bus pointing out all the different
colored rock. Wee can said, because it's all that rock
that was lifted. Unbelievable. Yeah, sideline, Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 20 (01:13:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:13:22):
And then yeah Christier is Yeah, there was yeah, like
say like a call it earlier with the liquid faction.
Everythink there was a yeah, different experience, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Six from ten to Allen.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Good evening, Yes, good evening, Margus just very quickly. I
was in the Easter christ Church as well, this time
a few years ago, and we just sat up in
bed and listened to the radio. But images that appeared
in the christ Church press a few days later stayed
with me. One of them was of a power line

(01:13:56):
which had been upended so that the cross arms sat
on the road and the poles stood upright now. This
was an area called ker Wee, which is on the
way to Darfield. The second image was of lateral spreading.
We've never heard of such a thing, no, we had,
but there was a massive crack that appeared in the
paddocks out that way as the land spread and separated.

Speaker 12 (01:14:19):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
It was quite phenomenal. But the earthquake in the east
was mild compared with where it struck on the other
side of town. It was a huge amount of damage,
and it was a city of two halves.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
Yeah, and I guess there's not a surprise when you
look at the geology of the east. I guess all
that stuff. I mean that, Yeah, you know, you're more solid.
Lan's going to move a bit, there isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
Well, you see we're on sand out that way.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
And there was.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
But the second earthquake and the one that came in February,
there was massive amount of liquiphaci faction. I had seven
ton lifted off my property alone, and we just barroed
it out onto the street and the people took it away.
The house dropped by half a meter and was eventually rebuilt.
But that was a second It was the second one.

(01:15:07):
Of course, were people.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Right to about liquefaction in the first quake.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
There was liqual faction. First quake. The mayor was the
one who told us about it. He was out driving
around doing a survey. Bob Parker was out there. He
went on to write a book about it. Actually, yes,
but and he found the liquefaction. He was telling us
about it. Now we knew liquor faction because it had
happened in San Francisco. We'd never thought it would happen here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
And from all the quakes we've had in his even
edge Kimenunga. Who what were the other big ones.

Speaker 20 (01:15:39):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
I did the one, the Murchison one before.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
That, Yeah, the Murchison, even the big Napier one, which
was of course was it still the dearliest or the
second dearliest. I don't even remember reports of liquefaction there either.

Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
Maybe there it seemed the ground condition. Yeah, the christ
Church East is like San Francisco, it's on the beach. Yes,
So the sand just turned to liquid.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Yeah, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable how much came up and
seemed to come in such a kind of a well,
just suddenly it was all there, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
There was a sand everywhere, well there was, but it
was always there, but it was covered with grass and
it just spewed out of the ground. My wife rang
me at work and said, it's like the hook of
falls coming up on the back law.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
Are you still in your Are you still in your
same place?

Speaker 7 (01:16:23):
Allen? No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
I've moved. I'm now over in Softburn, Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Which is? Which is?

Speaker 5 (01:16:28):
Where?

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Which are? That's that's further towards the mountains on the
west coast, on the west side, we're on an old
we're on an old river bed.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Here is it a new plan one of those new
places that's with a lot of new houses where they've
spread it up as well?

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Not where I am?

Speaker 22 (01:16:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Okay, it sounds nice. Would the quake when it happened,
the one and you know the fifteen years ago we
were people leaving the east because they thought there was
going to be a tsunami. Was that happening?

Speaker 13 (01:16:58):
There was?

Speaker 12 (01:16:58):
There was.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
There was a solid stream of traffic heading out across
the Canterbury Plains. Emergency service vehicles were calling and saying
where's all these cars going? And they were coming from
the east. People who were in rental accommodation or were
free to travel got out. There was one service station
out that way that was servicing the vehicles coming in.

(01:17:20):
Wow with emergency services with had f poss gone down?

Speaker 13 (01:17:25):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
That did go down?

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
But we'll talk about that after the news. I've got
to go out to the run on news. But thank
you so much for your call, Marcus. Two new words
were added to the kiwed diction that came out of
the Christchurch quake, liquefaction and munted. Marcus is a kid
my private school, Lynwood North had a visit to the
Veren newly built Canterbury Trust Bag building in the old

(01:17:48):
christ Church Wall around nineteen eighty seven. We got to
see a model of the design which had a wide
base and the engineer told us all about liquefaction. When
the September quake hit, it was horrid, but the junior
scientist he was amazed by all the mini liquorffaction volcanoes
all over the show. A significant day changed our beautiful
city forever. Cheers from Mount somers Another east of christ

(01:18:10):
Church person here. The dry sand of New Bright was
okay read of look affection, but west of the Avon
River was all river silt and not dry sand, a
lot of liquefaction and the land dropped west of the
city was not too bad. It was an old river
shingle houses damaged, but none red zoned as land was
deemed good John in New Brighton, and then there were

(01:18:34):
five months weren't there before the other quake happened. But
I was curious to hear and I don't remember that
that people were talking about people driving away from the
coast because I think that would have been well before
cell phone alerts and almost before tsunami sirens. I presume
they hadn't gone off. Maybe someone's got some more intel

(01:18:55):
about that, finding that quite interesting. Doo come through if
you want to talk about that. It's the main topic
for tonight. The number is eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine to nine to text. But I presume
that no one in their wildest dreams would believe that
an after shock would be months and months away in

(01:19:17):
so devastating. But yes, every time now you hear a
quake and they say, you know, be warned of after shocks,
I mean jeepest creepers. Christ Church was certainly the very
extremely salient lesson about that. But if you want to
talk on any that's what we're about tonight. Also talk
about one thing that the things in life that inflation
hasn't affected. There's a good list of those, but all

(01:19:37):
the lines are free now to be nice to hear
from you. Christ Church and the quake fifteen years ago. Yeah, nineteen, sorry,
two thousand and ten. Obviously, fourth of September. I always
thought it was late. I was it was a round
of October. But yep, there we go. Certainly not quibbling

(01:19:58):
with the date. You do get in touch of this
something else you want to mention too. I'll keep your
update of news around the country all across that people.
I'm not quite sure what's going on. Nelson kind of
amazing that dotn't hear about that. But yes, do get

(01:20:19):
in touch if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine nine to text, but yeah,
do come through if you want to talk. By the way,
Brisbane over Melbourne six zero old billy ate Craig Bellamy.
He doesn't look happy at all. Twelve past ten, Craig,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:20:38):
Good evening, Hi Marcus here you going good?

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
Thank you, Craig.

Speaker 25 (01:20:44):
Yeah, so we're talking about the the first quake that
stember the fourth quake obviously.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
Yeah, the major quake. I guess in terms of seismic
power or seismic scale, I guess you'd say yes.

Speaker 25 (01:21:00):
So when it happened. I'm out in Bromley, which is
the east side of Yes Christ and I found out
later that what had happened because of the Port Hills.
The quake was coming directly to me, and it was

(01:21:22):
also echoing off the Port Hills. And I didn't realize
that at the time, but where my house is, the
house was going around like in a figure of eight,
So it was sort of getting pushed one way and
then sort of pulled.

Speaker 17 (01:21:37):
Out the other way.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
And then post are you saying the earthquake seismic waves
were being reflected off the hills also would solid rock there?
I imagine that would happen.

Speaker 25 (01:21:49):
Yes, yes, it's not granite, it's it's the other.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
One something or something near some y.

Speaker 25 (01:21:59):
So what was happening. It's kind of like you know
when you've got a pool table and you fly the
the white ball off the You imagine you had white balls,
and you had a white ball going and another one
coming off the content, and so yeah, the house was
as weird as anything.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Were you conscious of the house moving in multiple directions? Yes, Wow,
you're awake or you're woken by the quake.

Speaker 25 (01:22:26):
Well, when I got woken by the quake, because it
went on for light it seemed like at least a minute.
But when I got woken by the quake, we didn't
lose power or water where I am. And so I
was walking through the house and I was turning on lights,

(01:22:49):
and I was also looking at my curtains and our
street lights were the old orange lights, the old amber lights,
and the curtains were getting pushed up, and of course
the amber light was coming through, and then the curtains
were falling down, then they were getting pushed up again.

(01:23:10):
The amber light would come through and it was the
most weirdest, strangest, horriblest thing, you know, it was sort
of it was one of those things where it was like, hell,
am I on drugs or something? You know, it just
didn't seem real.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
So I have experience it with less of quakes where
it's felt like the house has been on marbles, because
it sort of feels like it's rolling around like that
in different directions.

Speaker 25 (01:23:37):
Yeah, you know, when we had the Kai Kora quake,
the house felt like a boat, like it felt like
it was rocking side to side. Yeah, But when we
had the Chember quake, yeah, it was definitely doing like
a like a figure eight. It was sort of being
pushed one way around and then sort of drawn back

(01:23:59):
the other way, and then around and then pushed again,
and it was oh, it was so out of it.

Speaker 10 (01:24:06):
Yes, it was really really range and quake.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Obviously with you been in Bromley that the February quake
was a lot more severe for you.

Speaker 5 (01:24:13):
Is that right?

Speaker 25 (01:24:17):
It was beneath us. It was different where I was
working at a place called Canterbury Spinners at the time
and it's part of Godfrey Hearst Carpets. And on the
September quake, all the wall that was packed up in

(01:24:38):
big bales in that they moved slightly that they didn't fall,
but they looked like the leaning tower piece. In the
February quake, it looked like someone had got a bowling
ball and just gone and there they were everywhere. So
it was like in the February quake it was coming

(01:24:59):
right up underneath you rather than yea, So it was
it was like it was trampolining, if you could describe
it that way.

Speaker 15 (01:25:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
And your house was affected in the second quake, because
Bromley was badly affected.

Speaker 25 (01:25:15):
Wasn't it our house? Believe it or not. It's The
most strangest thing the way the shop waves goes through
in waves and in frequencies, and that we're slightly down
in a we hollow, and it's like it gets the
house beside you and the house behind you, but not

(01:25:37):
your house. And we had we had about three lots
of people come through and they all said to us, oh,
this is the best house in brom We you know,
as in damage wise, we had cracking, but the cracking
looked like someone had put like a bit of cotton,
So a bit of cotton around the windows and a
bit of cotton around the doors.

Speaker 20 (01:25:59):
You know.

Speaker 25 (01:26:00):
It at my neighbor's house, you could put your hand
down the cracks.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
Was it weather board or it was brick construction?

Speaker 25 (01:26:08):
Ah, what do they call it? The it's like the
cemento the weather boards. There's a named for it. Ye, yeah,
it is it rough cast what they call it. But yes,
And it was as strange as anything because it's like

(01:26:29):
the house behind us, the house beside us, and the
house two doors down for us are all rebuilds. Our
house is fine, great, you know. And and also the
houses across the road from us they got the liquefaction.
There was a massive hole, probably bigger than a stove,

(01:26:53):
and it just spewed out like Brighton Beach. It just
spewed out all of this.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
Salt and.

Speaker 25 (01:27:03):
We help them will barrow it out onto the street.
And the size of it, it was as high as
a car, as wide as a car, and as wide
as the property full of salt.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Well, Galic's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 11 (01:27:22):
I don't, Marcus. I never thought i'd be doing this
talking about the earthquakes. But I've just returned from Australia
after ten years, and that I was in both earthquakes.
And the first one it just was early morning act.

(01:27:44):
So I was in bed at home and relived on
top of the help in Sumner looking down to Summer Beach. No,
it was an older house, but brick. Anyway, the things
started calling off the show and so forth, and it

(01:28:04):
shook and carried on. So course, anyway, we sort of
didn't think too much of it's ready and not the
way carried on, you know. I went to work and
but the next time was just hours at work. It
was the last one and I was at work, sitting

(01:28:26):
there with a little fellow who just brought me in
a new iPad and computer games, trying me how to
use it, and then suddenly we were both catapulted out
of the chairs. We went toss across our office and
waked up. And then one of the girls we had

(01:28:49):
shouted out, everybody, get out of here, get out of
here as well started to run down the stater in
a second story office block which was in fair Me
and me got a cold and uh we got done
onto the street and other people were filtering down onto

(01:29:11):
the street. We're standing there wondering what on earth to do,
and then we were looking at the street and then
suddenly we saw these spurts of water coming up the
middle of the road, which later we found out were
liqu faction faction. So that's the first experience I had
of liquor faction. And I was so lucky because i'd

(01:29:35):
been to meeting at another person's office earlier in the morning,
and when I came back, I couldn't get a car
park behind the building, so I parked just up on
a rise of a curving across the road, and my
car just missed all that liquefaction and stuff. So I

(01:29:56):
had a car to drive away, which was amazing, but
I couldn't drive anywhere that particular day.

Speaker 5 (01:30:02):
I had said it.

Speaker 11 (01:30:03):
About three days later, the bridge at ferry Mead was
under a pair and construction, so we couldn't drive across
that anyway. We could only everyone was standing out on
fairy roads. They didn't no one knew what to do,
you know, you just were sort of in the land

(01:30:25):
of nowhere, really, And then we started walking across the
ferry Mead bridge, and the only way cars could come
from time and get down to Sumner was to go
round the back of the Foot of the Hills biscuit
right around that way, and so we're all hitching rights

(01:30:46):
the Sumner. So another girl said, oh, I'll come with you.
So I said, okay. You know, we had no idea
of each other work. And so we got down to
Summer and got out of this car. And then I
saw a friend of my sons lived across the road,
and he came to meet me when he saw me,

(01:31:07):
and he said, oh, you won't be going home. And
I said, why is that? And he said, look up
there at the house and half of it was that
have blown up, really, and he and his wife and
children were helped putting it up to handler and he said, well,
you stay here, I said, okay. So I stayed at

(01:31:29):
his night place for two nights, big two old, two
storied house, and it rumbled and got carried on and
so forth. It was terrifying, actually, and every time it shook,
I pulled the mattress closer to the front door, ready
to escape. But you know, I got there next morning,

(01:31:50):
sort of came out onto the onto the road because
we had no and his place had been you know,
all the kitchen had been absolutely destroyed, the glasses and
stuff everywhere, and the loo didn't work, and you know,
it wasn't terrible his condition, and so I just came

(01:32:11):
out and went down to the public conveniences and sayful
and you know, I just tried to talk to a
few people and sort of work out what we were
going to do. Really, I was on my own because
my husband and dad and thank god actually wasn't there,
because we had been sitting right with a huge plate

(01:32:33):
class window which looked down onto the seat, well that
was a favorite chair. He would have been killed bim
straight away. So it was terrifying.

Speaker 9 (01:32:45):
Really, is it where you lived?

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
Is it where you left to Australia for ten years?

Speaker 12 (01:32:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:32:51):
Before that, I went back to hawk Stay. Where were
thirty years prior to that, well prior to that, before
I came back christ Church home for me and anyway, sorry,
but I went. I was offered to go and manage
the place up there, and I had always said notice

(01:33:13):
of skate. Anyway, I thought, oh I got it. I
had a house not there which was rented. Uce I said, oh,
I could do something with it. So anyway, I stupidly
went through. So I lasted three years. It just I
just couldn't stand of him any longer. And then I
came and then my sister said to me, oh, we're
going to Cambridge, now come there. And I said, oh,

(01:33:37):
that's a good idea. So I sold up and a
half and went to Cambridge, bought another townhouse and so
walt and did that real landscape that been the fortune
on these places. And then I hated it. Yeah, I said,
well I'm off back to christ Church.

Speaker 16 (01:33:59):
So how were that?

Speaker 11 (01:34:01):
Came back here? So I was here. Then my son
said to me, he's over in Brisbane, Well why don't
why don't you come to Bristoe. I said, oh, it
could be a good idea. I could suppose I could
do that.

Speaker 17 (01:34:19):
So off.

Speaker 11 (01:34:19):
I went, Yeah, I've been over there nearly ten years.

Speaker 16 (01:34:22):
Was it good?

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
Was Brisbane good?

Speaker 9 (01:34:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:34:26):
It was, it was, and yeah I enjoyed it, but
towards the end I was getting sick of it actually,
and the humidity.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
Yeah, it'll be too hot for me.

Speaker 11 (01:34:37):
And oh yes, no it's just hideous. And came back
to frost here, but never mind, it's I think it's
a better climate here.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
I've got to go go a but nice to talk to.
I'm right on commercials, but thank you so much for that.
I'll get some texts quickly, Marcus. The September fourth quake
was the result of the Greendale Folk going off, which
is out west of Chrostich. If favuite quote was seen
to ten K's but little to which affected the east
side of Christich. That's right after seven the damaging to

(01:35:08):
get the shock of the first quake. Next thing we
do is pl on the radio. It was ready what
it's best with callers telling us the extent of what
had happened. I think Bob Parker was one of the
first callers. So do get in touch if you want
to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome hit til twelve
o'clock tonight, eight hundred and eighty. We're talking about the
original quake in christ Church that was the seven point

(01:35:31):
don't know the full details, but I'll get them up
to because a lot of people are commenting on the details.
That's good too, the people. Facts are important, but do
come through if you ought to talk Brisbane six, Melbourne four.
Brisbane six, Melbourne four. It does say the twenty eleven

(01:35:52):
christ Church quake was a six point three magnitude quake.
It may have been an after shock of the seven
point one magnitude four September twenty ten quake, may have
been so there we go. Gens has stated that, However,
Australia said it might be a separate sequence. Marcus I
recall many of the images from the christ Church quate.

(01:36:13):
The image that went global was an area photo shot
from a chopper of two cows and a car standing
stranded on a small piece of turf with nothing around them.
It took a reporter and camera press in two days
to trink and review the farmer who didn't know what
all the fuss was about. He'd been out for three
days searching for a stock and saved those cows too. Marcus,

(01:36:35):
I'm a teenager in a hawk's bay the first year
in high school. I've been with the same friend since
year seven, and one of my best friends drinks three
energy drinks a day. I was actually telling him about
what we're talking about. You're talking about yesterday and how
they are thinking of banning them for under sixteen kids.

(01:36:55):
My friends drink one at night and two through the
day so he can pull all night, is on video
games and needs the fuel to keep him awake at school.
He is a great student asides from that, in top
class getting good grays, just had a bad dabit of
drinking energy drinks. I'm trying to get them off them,
but it's pretty difficult when people are addicted. Thanks Marcus,

(01:37:17):
Henry PS love your showed us every night as I
fall asleep, keeps me up. H that's your energy drink,
so to speak. I've been busy today. I haven't done
a full dive into the situation with the cable car
that came unstuck in Lisbon, the Fhnicular, but anyone knows
more about that seems to be unlikely because it's powered

(01:37:37):
by overhead wires, so in fact, is it even a
fornicular because I think it's important. It's powered by a rope,
so maybe it's not a cable car. Maybe it's a
tram on an incline with a cold gear to keep it.
Don't know quite how that works, actually, I'm kind of

(01:37:58):
slightly interested in that. Now it looks like it's maybe
it's pulled by an overhead cable, yeah, which would be
different from any cable car I've been on. Anyway, just
mentioning that in case someone out there has been on
that cable car. Note, there are cable cars that up

(01:38:20):
on hills slopes that are powered by water, and there
is a big reservoir of water at the top and
that goes down and that pulls the cable car. And
then they release the water at the bottom and it
pulls that that goes down and pulls the other one up.

(01:38:42):
So it's pretty extraordinary. Twenty to eleven and it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:38:51):
Yes, hello, I just thought I just put the radio
and heard you talking about that tram and lives them.

Speaker 11 (01:38:57):
Yeah, and I actually have a photo of it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
Yes, it's very photogenic. It's a beautiful looking thing.

Speaker 22 (01:39:04):
Yeah, it is actually a it's a historic tram that runs.
It's a tourist tram, you know, and it runs down
the hole there and it is it's got the overhead

(01:39:25):
wires and all of that. Yeah, yeah, it's quite it's
quite a you know, quite a tract just looking tram.
Actually no, I didn't go on, but we actually did
a we did a motorcycle tour around Lisbon and and

(01:39:46):
the and it was pointed out to us when we
were on that tour, and so we we didn't actually
go on it. We could have, I guess, but we've
gone all around Lisbone on a motorbike, so.

Speaker 16 (01:40:04):
We didn't.

Speaker 22 (01:40:05):
We didn't sort of feel I need to go on
the tram, but you know, we followed it around, you know,
fargo of it. It stopped so I could get a
photo looking at stop putting asset.

Speaker 2 (01:40:19):
Okay, I appreciate you coming through and looking at Wikipedia.
It was originally water powered, a water powered counterweight system,
replaced by a steam powered mechanism in nineteen and eighteen
eighty six. Two cars with exterior wheels and a central cable.
It's not quite sure where that central cable is.

Speaker 13 (01:40:37):
Keith.

Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
It's Marcus. Good evening, Hi, Keith, Hello, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:40:45):
Yes, going about the earthquake in christ Church. Yes, we
were living in Mount Pleasant at the time. Yes, And
I don't think there's any sirens that went off at all.
I think they came later on.

Speaker 15 (01:40:59):
Yeah. And I was going to say.

Speaker 17 (01:41:06):
It was early in the morning, about.

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
Half out six yep, yep, yeap, fort but earlier now
I think four forty five.

Speaker 17 (01:41:13):
It says, yeah, four forty five. And I didn't realize
how bad it was, went back to bed and got
a phone call about five, about six o'clock in the morning.
After we were okay, another thing happened with that earthquake.
I was working out on Horlls Wall and we had
a big water tower of skull and it was about
to come down a week later.

Speaker 15 (01:41:31):
After the earthquake.

Speaker 17 (01:41:33):
Yeah, And the earthquake bought it down. Cheapers and water
went everywhere, and we lived them. As I say, we
lived in Mount Pleasant. And in the second earthquake our
house was completely and nothing was wrong with it at all,
didn't get any damage at all.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
So how far was Mount Pleasant away from the original
epicenter of the first one?

Speaker 17 (01:41:56):
Oh quite a wee way away, okay, And the every
center of the second earthquake, of course, we've got them
all night and it's coming all the time.

Speaker 16 (01:42:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:04):
Of course your Mount Pleasant right on the hills, can
see where that is now.

Speaker 17 (01:42:07):
Of course it is year and there was quite a
few houses in our streets that were absolutely destroyed.

Speaker 2 (01:42:15):
Yeah, I wonder because I'm just trying to think how
much damage was done to christ chich after the initial quake,
the September one. From my recollection when I was down there,
a lot of walls and things had fallen over. That
seemed to be the extent of it.

Speaker 13 (01:42:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:42:28):
And actually at nighttime after daily earthquake, you can see
flyers in the city.

Speaker 5 (01:42:35):
Wows.

Speaker 17 (01:42:37):
Yeah, it was pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
Nice to hear from your Keith, thanks for that. Sixteen
twelven halftime in the Rugby League twelve four Brisbane lead Melbourne.
Brisbane having their game of their life. I think there's
two people off, one off each side. For it's been rough.
There's been head highs and stuff. No surprise is there.
Feels like finals footy. A reinteresting text came through which

(01:43:00):
I think is true. Eye patches. Pirates used to wear
them so they could protect their vision going above and
below deck on ships in the age of sail moving

(01:43:24):
between bright daylight on deck and the near darkness below
deck was common. Human eyes take time up to twenty
to thirty minutes to adapt from light to dark. An
eyepatch let a sailor keep one eye adapted to the dark.
On deck, patches cover one eye, so the uncovered eye
is used in sunlight below deck, the patches swapped to

(01:43:46):
the other eye instantly, giving the sailor a fully dark
adapted eye. This meant they could see below deck immediately
without stumbling around blind while their eyes adjusted. I think
that goes in the quiz Dan, It's pretty good. Yeah,
that's great, brilliant. Marcus is a BBC history online about

(01:44:11):
the last agricultural rail Endorset, UK. It's an ex World
War One trench railway eight engaged trainers called Watercress Queen.
What do you mean by agricultural railway? I'd be interested
in that, Marcus. Best what I saw on Facebook and
Harwarder mini garlic breads for sale. Must pick up twenty
dollars rawdy at the Sapi yacht. It's good, isn't it.

(01:44:37):
Apparently the bomb squad of Nelson's Vicor had quite a
few properties in Cordon's and Place quite early evening Whymere
rodes along busy road to the city and the problem
is nearer the city. Thank you for that. Mm hmmmm, Yes,
I wonder how talkback was that night at four forty five?

(01:45:01):
Was it Bruce Russell? Probably was it? He'd be do weekends.
I hear it done in my day. It was Saturday morning,
wasn't it. He's I done that. I don't know if
that's true, but your memories of that. I think that's
what radio is very very good at as earthquakes, providing

(01:45:23):
us to a landline. Just been outside really throwing itself
down here, incredibly heavy wind. It feels like it's the
heaviest wind of the year as the equinox hits. If
you've got weather updates, I suspect probably this there's going
to be a fabit this precious system that comes across
the country to about gales and all sorts of stuff.
So if you've got weather updates also too. I'd like

(01:45:44):
to acknowledge on the show tonight too, the devastation that's
happening for the Tasman district with the closure of this mill,
one hundred and forty two jobs in a rural area
that is devastating. This is where would you go to.
You call it close to bright Water. It's a sawmill
that's been there for forty years. It's a mass of

(01:46:07):
its card Holt Harvey. So yes, I don't fully know
what the economic forces are there, what's causing that, But
there are a lot of jobs going from a rural area, schools, people,
everything like that. So plant will close. It's part of

(01:46:35):
Carter Holt Harvey's plan to consolidate structural timber to its
base in Cowodo. According to the Union, it says this
isn't a company going broke. They've chosen to centralized operations.
But we talk about people's lives here. It's cold comfort
for more one hundred and forty workers who are now
flacing unemploy unemployment in a region already hit hard. I

(01:47:02):
don't know what that means. If they've moved their timber
thing to Calwodo, how all the tim or lumber from
the forests around Tasman will get up there? What are
you going to put them up on trucks and fairies
that we don't have. Doesn't really make sense to me
looking at it. You might have some intel about that too,

(01:47:26):
that would be good to hear from you and also
talk about the original quake and christ Jurch the September
one and twenty ten be nice to hear. If we
read out of LPG. What else could thousands of stainless
steel gas bottles be used for? To prevent them going
to lend fill. It's a good question. Sometimes you're seeing

(01:47:46):
it markets. People know you don't. Yeah, people cut them
up do they don't know? Don't know what to do
with all the gas bottles, Marcus. The last agriculture railwa
UK was built for farming, specifically installed on a farm
to transport produce and Dorset watercress. Well, I look that up.
I was just watching a police program on YouTube and

(01:48:08):
the message was that seat belts save lives. Surely earbags
do a brilliant job, but said he never mentioned anymore. Well,
I guess you don't see them. The other thing about
earbags don't see them until you need them. We don't
see them because they happened. So I kind of always
stagger at how effective that earbag technology is. You tried

(01:48:30):
to explain it. If you're the inventor, you think, oh,
that's never going to work, that's never going to inflate
in time. But perfect, what's that about? And I'm still
not sure who was on doing talkback during the quake
when that happened. Someone might know. Be a part of it.
You want to be a part of it. Eight hundred
and eighty, ten eighty anything else you want to mention? Oh,

(01:48:54):
there are heavy you've told. Oh the other thing too.
Apart from that, the storm will closing. Catman Do is
going to close twenty one stores. The company that owns
Kept and there also owns Rip Curl and shoe brand
O b o Z. Yeah, twenty one stores for closure

(01:49:16):
of more than three hundred globally. All seems a bit sketchy,
doesn't it. But six away eleven o'clock Roman is on
at twelve tonight. That's happening. And Jay, it's Marcus Good evening,
Marcus Good, Thanks, j.

Speaker 26 (01:49:37):
Hi am talking about earthquakes. Yeah, do you remember that
one was like seven point eight It was about ten
years ago on Wellington and it was like like two
fault lines, well, one full line ruptured and then the
second one ruptured.

Speaker 15 (01:49:57):
At the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:49:58):
Yes, it's one that destroyed the library, isn't it.

Speaker 23 (01:50:03):
That?

Speaker 14 (01:50:03):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
Is it one that destroyed the library?

Speaker 9 (01:50:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:50:07):
I guess it destroys one a lot.

Speaker 16 (01:50:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:50:09):
Actually I was.

Speaker 26 (01:50:11):
Living in the Pooney at the time and just in
our heart and and it's just started just shaking. Next minute,
boom and just threw my beard across the room. I'm like, oh, crisis.
And then about five minutes later I could hear the
about five minutes so I could heal the all the

(01:50:34):
you know, toilet and the drains like gurgling wow from
the yeah. And then look up for the hells and
see the traffic of cars running up to the hills,
and then look over wine and Eat and it's just
like this green glow in the sky.

Speaker 15 (01:50:52):
From A.

Speaker 20 (01:50:54):
I guess the magnetic whatever you know.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
Didn't do much damage to where you were.

Speaker 20 (01:51:03):
Well, but some pieces e Poony and Queen Skate.

Speaker 17 (01:51:08):
I remember the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Theater that's right, Yeah, that's right that that where, didn't it?

Speaker 15 (01:51:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:51:14):
And what else just scattered all around the place. Though
it wasn't really like focused heaps and town and a
heaps for those old all the cinemas in town as well,
they went a lot of a lot of structured buildings

(01:51:35):
got condemned from that one.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
A And I think I think that quake was one
that actually even though was I think it was one
that originated somewhere in the top of the South Island.

Speaker 16 (01:51:44):
Was it was it?

Speaker 2 (01:51:45):
Is that where it was from?

Speaker 15 (01:51:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:51:47):
I think the thing it was and then ruptured like
that win fault line after Yeah, yeah, is.

Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
It were still? Are you still in Winnington?

Speaker 15 (01:51:58):
J I wish mate.

Speaker 6 (01:52:01):
I'm well.

Speaker 20 (01:52:03):
I'm born in Bred Wellington, mate, but I'm back and
back in Aukland.

Speaker 2 (01:52:07):
Oh what are your wage slave?

Speaker 13 (01:52:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Yeah, co miserations. Je, nice to talk, thank you, good evening. Mike.
It's Marcus. Hello.

Speaker 14 (01:52:19):
Oh hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
Thanks? Mike.

Speaker 14 (01:52:23):
Hey, I don't know which you're aware, but there is
a hotel, you know, like a pub that has been Wellington.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
Called oh yeah Czerlan.

Speaker 14 (01:52:42):
Yeah, that's the one, I think. So it's on that
major highway that goes out of Wellington along the foreshore
do for Tony, Yes and such side of the build
there now some somewhere around. I think it was eighteen

(01:53:03):
eighteen verse the or a there was a major earthquake
in Wellington. Okay, you can you can find this on GNS.

Speaker 2 (01:53:16):
There's a there's a Messive there's a messive quake with
it the White Epple quake. It was a messive yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:53:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:53:21):
And and and it took the south coast and elevated
above sea level. Right, yeah, Okay, they walked into this pub.
There was a group of us and it's like, oh man,
it's got all the wooden floors and it's like really

(01:53:42):
grabbed a handle beer. And then there was all these
photographs around the wall of the interior of this place,
and there were black and white photos, and there was
a veranda we had to walk in over to get
in to the pub, right.

Speaker 11 (01:54:04):
And.

Speaker 7 (01:54:06):
The it's depicted.

Speaker 14 (01:54:10):
Male marriage and the canoes, right, and they had paddled
up towards the veranda and rope there canoes off on
the on the veranda.

Speaker 9 (01:54:27):
Aside.

Speaker 14 (01:54:28):
Really and it's like it just blew my mind. I mean,
that's how far that earthquake and wirrapper pushed that building
up from sea level and the the the result of

(01:54:49):
that was that the whole Wellington harborball flashed the seawater
from side to side, causing tsunamis. So yeah, yeah, it
was just an interesting scen all those photos and again
what it was it was like really really an ironer. Yeah, definitely,

(01:55:18):
and I.

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
Think I was reading recently the water sloshed right across
from the harbor, right across to Lyle Bay. All that
got flooded and was underwater.

Speaker 14 (01:55:27):
Absolutely yes, And and that is all reclaim land around there.
And it's like really, you know, going out towards the
airport there and it's like wow, you know how how
interesting that was? And just the top off, Yes, I

(01:55:56):
survived both those clakes and christ Chick and they were
a ratic.

Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
What's your memory of the what's your memory of the
foost one?

Speaker 14 (01:56:09):
Waking up and going what the hell am I doing? Away?

Speaker 2 (01:56:14):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (01:56:15):
And then I could hear the sound coming and it
was like a mate and it got louder and louder,
and it was like some giant godlike hand slapped the
side of the building playing wow. And the and and
the bed had I was in had castle wheels and

(01:56:40):
it was just you know, pushed backward and forward backward
and ford you know, left right, you know, and it
was like really, So I got and I had to
look around, and I couldn't see too much. So I

(01:57:01):
went out on the deck and looked down on the
ho that were around us, and it was like their
brick chimneys were gone, just gone. And I went really
And then I thought my car, which was in the

(01:57:22):
car park. It was down against the back scenes of
the car park, and there was an old light, you know,
fill the air that had a twin chimney on it. Well,
that was all on the top of my car.

Speaker 2 (01:57:41):
I was like really.

Speaker 14 (01:57:45):
And of course the stadium that was just across the road,
the old one.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
What was it called Lancaster Park, was it?

Speaker 14 (01:57:57):
Yeah, but it was a stadium. It's been miles since
because it was structurally insecure. Yes, And it was like
it was just a long more house hour you.

Speaker 7 (01:58:11):
And it was like whoa.

Speaker 14 (01:58:14):
And then I decided to jump in the other car
I had and decided to have a bit of a
drive around and I went out onto the main road
that would take you out to New Brighton right yep,
And it was elevated, split and elevated up by about

(01:58:37):
I don't know, half a metere so you could not
go any further unless she had a full wheel drive.

Speaker 13 (01:58:47):
Right.

Speaker 14 (01:58:49):
And it was like really wow. And the Loqui faction
on the common area and the complex of them had
the green area had these volcanoes of whatever. But it

(01:59:09):
was the faction there to come out, come.

Speaker 7 (01:59:11):
Up and it's ground water.

Speaker 14 (01:59:16):
For the area. The groundwater table must have been clearly high,
and that pulled up all the sand and created these
massive volcanoes. The street was slicktrier than mud because of
the liquid action.

Speaker 2 (01:59:36):
You've got quick, good recall. Michael. Got to move on,
but thanks for that call. The number is eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. There's been a bit of debate
online about who was the host that was on air,
not if anyone knows that, but I've got a bit
of audio of it, which is surprising. This is the
first quake. I just played bit of this audio. See
if you can ever listen to I can't work out
who the voice is. That's what's got well. I thought
i'd play it. This is the morning of September the fourth,

(01:59:59):
twenty ten.

Speaker 27 (02:00:01):
Ess so far about the earthquake.

Speaker 16 (02:00:03):
We have.

Speaker 27 (02:00:05):
The email, as you would expect, have gone ballistic, as
have the here we go. We've got it coming through,
as have the phones and even the facts that are
starting to roll, and so we thank you for that.
Off the get website, which is our local earthquake report.

Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
Whose voice is that? Someone says Pet Brittonden. It's not Bruce,
is it Pet Britandon Dan, it's Pat Pet Brittondon. No
good does a good show, Old Pat Wow Britandon jeepers
all on YouTube the whole show.

Speaker 9 (02:00:42):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (02:00:43):
That's the god that sort. It's Pet Brittondon. I don't
know how long it did mid dawns for, but certainly
it was a force Old Pet Brittondon. I might go
listen to that after work. I didn't know could listen
to talk Bag on YouTube.

Speaker 16 (02:01:00):
We are Yeah, a.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
Gouple lost in Mike's call. Oh wait time to eight
nineteen nine to text if you want to come through,
if you want to talk tonight eighteen eight now Melbourne
coming back. This is Brisbane versus Melbourne. Brisbane have monstered them.
Hello Bread, this is Marcus.

Speaker 9 (02:01:20):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
You're just talking about some shipwrecks you find North Regions.

Speaker 15 (02:01:28):
Yes, a couple of them.

Speaker 6 (02:01:30):
One is the Forest Hall and the other one is
the Collier Kaitawa.

Speaker 2 (02:01:35):
That's at the colleague's Katara. I was thinking of that's right,
because that was that's the one that was remained a
mystery right year.

Speaker 6 (02:01:43):
Yeah, that throat that was.

Speaker 17 (02:01:46):
And my my father.

Speaker 6 (02:01:49):
Bought a compass off from an auction and some months
later some guys got hold of them and they wanted
to know if you know they could they could have it,
because he did and realized that when he bought it
at the auction, it was off the Forest Hall, so

(02:02:13):
he donated it to the museum, the farm Off Museum,
and in return they bought him a brand new one.
At the time, that was in the eighties, mid eighties,
early eighties.

Speaker 2 (02:02:24):
What was the Forest Hall ship wreck?

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
Yeah, yeah, that one was off the the ninety Mile
Beach area as well.

Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
Oh, ninety nine. It was a lot earlier, okay, yeah,
with many people, many people killed on that one.

Speaker 6 (02:02:39):
I'm not too sure. Yeah, I'm not too sure, but
I know the other one. My sister was friends with
a girl that her father used to drive the star
Mini two of us is up ninety mile Beach, Yes,
and they came across a body on the beach that
had come up with Collier Koitawa. Yeah, so they took

(02:03:02):
all appropriate measures and what have you.

Speaker 2 (02:03:05):
Yeah, yes, because twenty nine died on that and they
had no no lost with all hands and no one
really knew why it was.

Speaker 6 (02:03:12):
Yeah, yeah, it was quite sad or quite devastating. But
my dad had a friend who's a commercial fisherman, and
his fishing boat grounded on the Pandora Banks.

Speaker 5 (02:03:26):
Yes, and.

Speaker 6 (02:03:29):
And when he got a new fishing boat, he named
it the Pandora after the Pandora Banks, you know, where
he came got shipwrecked or become a grief. So a
little bit of history from up.

Speaker 2 (02:03:45):
There, just about the Pandora Banks, right, Yeah, do they
ever become visible?

Speaker 10 (02:03:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:03:54):
I'm not too sure about that.

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
No, I don't know either, because.

Speaker 15 (02:04:00):
Yeah, I've never.

Speaker 6 (02:04:01):
Heard of the fisherman talking about that, you know. And
I worked at the Ringie Fisheries for a while, you know,
processing great fish and fishing.

Speaker 9 (02:04:11):
And what have you.

Speaker 16 (02:04:11):
But no, I never seen anything like in anything like that.

Speaker 14 (02:04:15):
But you never know.

Speaker 2 (02:04:17):
Yeah, okay, appreciate that, Britt, Thank you, nice to talk.
Twenty five parts eleven Kevin ats Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 15 (02:04:25):
I'm just I'm just realizing otive a really shot of life.
I've been on New Zealand for sixty three years. I'm
learning so much about the coastlines. Listening to his people,
it's brilliant. You go, yep, I wouldn't have a clue
about all these shipwrecks and stuff are in New Zealand. Honestly,
it's just you. You almost seem to write down like

(02:04:46):
a huge a book about all this ere.

Speaker 2 (02:04:52):
There's a lot of books. There's a lot of books
on histories of these own shipwrecks, and they're very full
because there's been a lot of them.

Speaker 15 (02:04:57):
Oh my god, they must be tracks. Oh, I'll just
listen to it.

Speaker 9 (02:05:05):
Yeah, it's just what did you what did you What
did you bring up about?

Speaker 15 (02:05:11):
I just said, I'm just ranging about I was actually
learned quite a lot, thinking, very much learning. But look
at loon. But I was just going to see if
the what were your predictions or my predictions and yours
have a viewery with me? All bricks are going to
play South Africa for the years?

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
Well, we're doing a prediction show tomorrow night. Didn't we
play them? Don't we play them every year?

Speaker 11 (02:05:37):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (02:05:37):
I don't know. I don't look also, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:05:39):
No, I think we have the I think we have
the Rugby Championship every year.

Speaker 13 (02:05:45):
Oh, I'm just ranged.

Speaker 15 (02:05:47):
Just ask you if do you think South Africa wasn't it?

Speaker 22 (02:05:51):
Talk?

Speaker 14 (02:05:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
I think they had. I think they've got a very
good chance of breaking the Eden.

Speaker 15 (02:05:55):
Park Who do Yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 2 (02:05:58):
Yeah, yeah, he has rarely has it gone with a
with eight forwards for the bomb squad has gone with
a four to three split or something, which I thought
was weird.

Speaker 4 (02:06:08):
Yeah, but the trouble of South Africa is just that,
just that, it doesn't matter what you throw out South Africa,
it's gonna smatch us. I think that albre It's going
to have struggle on the third five or second five
they go to, they're going to be struggling.

Speaker 15 (02:06:23):
Yeah. Yeah, anyway, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:06:26):
Going to be it's going to make the weekend worth while.
We've got the Ranfully Shield match in South of no
other weathers terrible. Canterbury are coming down for that, and
then we've got the rugby straight after that. So it's
going to be an exciting Saturday exactly.

Speaker 15 (02:06:38):
It's going to be like yeah, so well, yeah, we're
gon what are you going to what are you going
to have with rugby? Should we have hot doms or
what should we have.

Speaker 2 (02:06:50):
For mearly pumpkin soup and cheese rolls? Kevin, nice to talk,
Thank you for that. Twenty nine to twelve. A text
is Marcus Dodded do we know about liquid liquidation? But
we were plunged into after shocks, a whole new level
of stress triggers and an instant emerged. Some of us
took shot of our cars as was terrifying in those

(02:07:10):
first hours and days. Been inside Zeby was amazing. We
listened day and night. Genie x christ Church, thank you, Jennie.
Brisbane have monstered Melbourne in the Rugby League. This means
I suspect that Brisbane will go to number four. They

(02:07:32):
will meet they will meet Canberra in the first of
the finals. I believe it means the Warriors will be seventh. Sorry,
the Warriors will be sixth, which means they're most likely
to be sixth and penwith is most likely to be seventh,

(02:07:54):
So it's I think it looks like the Warriors will
have Penrith at home after Penmouth's rested all their players
for two weeks, so never say never. It's not looking great.
So that's the rugby lea. But this game's going about
eight months left to go? Are the local stories to

(02:08:16):
Eves Valley sawmill to close, devastating for Tasman one hundred
and forty jobs are gone there. Carter Holt Harvey are
rationalizing and moving their mills to Cowodo, which is crazy
how they get the logs up there. The key for

(02:08:37):
wooden utensils is never put them in the dishwasher. That's right.
Don't put them in the dishwasher, particularly a chopping board
or anything like that. That's the advice. It'll strip off
the protective treatment straight away. The water temperature the dishwasher

(02:08:59):
rises to a point where it's an effect steaming the wood,
and the wood expands and protective oils are washed away.
Hands scrub and warm water with a duital washing up liquid, rubber,
slice of lemon over. I wouldn't do the lemon, so

(02:09:20):
I can tell you that's what's happened. Is there a
list of what not to put in the dishwasher? What about?
What about? What about click clacks? What about that sort
of stuff? What's that stuff that all those lunch boxes
are made out of? Now that that New Zealand company,
I forget what they're called. Yes, the steamer, what about
it's the steamer. I don't think that's I think it

(02:09:41):
blows the gasket, doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (02:09:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09:45):
Week one looks like it's going to be Canberra versus
the Broncos, Melbourne versus the Bulldogs, Kronella versus the Roosters,
and Penrith versus the Warriors. That depends that there's a
couple of matches left to come, but it means that
the Warriors aren't playing for Top four finished tomorrow. That's
out of their hands now. Twenty two Well wooden chopping

(02:10:08):
boards us. A little cooko will rub all over the
paper trout towel soaking up that, or leaves your chopping
board like you repeat when needed. Marcus. Random question. I
was at the Pokes tonight and I reserved my machine
to get a drink and some low life took my
money out even though I'd reserved it. Should I report
to police's theft?

Speaker 9 (02:10:28):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:10:29):
I would only because I think there would be CTV
footage of the gaming room. I'm sure they've got those
under cameras and there would be evident so it'd be
a fairy easy prosecution. How much money out of there
was an interest out of there? How much was money
there was there? Gosh, I'm not speaking good. How much
money was in it out of interest? Terrible? But that's

(02:10:51):
gambling for you. So diction makes people do crazy things.
He himself had probably lost money, and he probably gambled
all yours. It's probably back in that great pool of money.
Another text, his experiencing the quake gave me some insight
into what men at war must repeatedly experience, the panic,

(02:11:12):
chaos and survival mode you go into, you go through, Marcus,
great show to your last text texted, No, you don't
put cooking on a wooden chopping board. It will go rencid.
Use food grade mineral oil. You can purchase it from
any hardware store. Cheers Jeff.

Speaker 16 (02:11:32):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (02:11:33):
That's the key with the wooden boards. I think they've
said that wooden boards are better than plastic ones because
they've got there's antibiotic properties to the wood, so yes,
they might be advantageous to use. Oh, he's an expert.
It was indeed Brittenden who was broadcasting on September the fourth,

(02:11:56):
twenty ten, with Tim Dower as newsreader. Danny Watson was
broadcasting during February twenty second, twenty eleven, which is likely
why people are misremembering him, has been the twenty ten broadcaster.
Some of Watson's broadcasts are archived on YouTube as well. Wow, oh, Denny,

(02:12:17):
there you go. You go, Renicent to him. I guess
I'll probably end up on you. You wonder how much
how YouTube stores all their data, don't you? There's been
a lot of stuff on there. No, don't really understand
data storage. I don't really want to understand it, but
it does seem incredibly complicated. Now of the other thing

(02:12:42):
that I meant to tell you about, it hasn't been
a great winter for the ski fields. It's been abysmal
for snowfall. Surprise, surprise. This year's winter was for many
region as abysmal season for snowfall, with near record lows
recorded across much of the South Island. Ski fields had

(02:13:04):
to close. Your lack of snowie impact not just but
also water levels and lakes that feed hydro electric power stations.
Some places had near average snowfall, But what stands out
with the number of low or recorded low total snowfall readings. Yes,
it's been very dry down South until this week, hasn't
rained much at all, but this week's certainly made up

(02:13:25):
for it. So yes, I've always I mean that was
always the panic about the ski fields that they're going
to come more and more vulnerable to climate change. Either's
are two great theats threats. I heard someone say today,
climate change and AI. The analogy was, once upon a time,
a hammer had two uses. You could get a hammer
and you would use it to build a house, or

(02:13:47):
you could use it to hit someone over the head with.
Now with AI, you could use AI to build a
house or to hit someone over the head with. But
what that AI might do when they become sentient, you
might have it building the house they decide to hit
someone over the head with it. It's pretty frightening, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (02:14:10):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:14:10):
Turn away from twelve bets Marcus. Welcome, Oh welcome?

Speaker 7 (02:14:15):

but we might better find someone tomorrow night and might
be tell us a bit more about it.

Speaker 2 (02:15:57):
Where is it? Where is it?

Speaker 7 (02:16:00):
It's over in the West Coast. It's an old gold
mining town. It popped up about eighteen sixty when they
struck gold over here. This is so much of a
found today. And yeah, they just started building their hospitals
and schools there and study. But the gold ran out
in about nineteen fifteen and they just everyone just the
end of the town.

Yeah, yeah, it might be an interesting look into I think.

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
Well, I think there's that, there's that ghost, there's that
the ghost railway, and what's that the old Ghost trail.
I think that goes from Lyle. Have you heard about that?

Speaker 12 (02:16:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:16:43):
Yeah, I did see that today. I haven't looked too
much more into it, but I didn't see that. That's
sort of at the end of that road there.

Speaker 2 (02:16:49):
Yeah, so I've done that. I did that a couple
of years back. But I think that starts in Lyle. Yeah,
that's right, the old ghost road. It's not a bad
it's it's not a bad sort of a excusion. Actually,
are you a gold Are you a gold miner?

Nice to hear from your bets anyway. Nice. Yeah, Well,
we've got to talk about Lyle sometime.

Speaker 14 (02:18:37):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:18:37):
By the way, we did play a song this year.
We did played norm from Cheers by the Welcome Mat
when George went died, So we have played a song
this year. Someone says Textas says, I've brought washing soda,
crystals of fabric software and grease removal, all made in
New Zealand. Timod And wrote, in thirty years it's only
risen in price by a dollar, from five to six
dollars for one kilogram and reusable place to contain all

(02:19:00):
that's an inflation beata washing, soda crystals, fabric soft and
grease remover. There are some things that prices are stagnant,
like the sesame snap, which not one person called about.
So normally you mentioned something like that, I think, and
you can. You can find a whole pocket of the

(02:19:22):
community that have not been united because they can all
celebrate something like that. But no, it's not tonight. The
sesame snap is not that sort of snack. This is
about radio archives. This is very interesting. Hobbyist radio listeners
record audio from the various radios and receivers and upload

(02:19:44):
it to their personal YouTube channels themselves. My phone's radio
app has a built in record function. I have a
few recordings sitting around which I've been meaning to archive
online for a while. News Talk z'db also has an
official channel that posts regularly, so you can go back

(02:20:04):
and listen to old radio shows with all the adds
to the news and everything. As if you'd want to.
I shouldn't say that dismissively. You might want to. I mean,
isn't that what a podcast is? But this is more
kind of honest. You get everything what's in all. It's

(02:20:28):
not edited, but if you're doing historical events like nine
to eleven, stuff like that, you go back and listen
to it. Well, I've learned a lot tonight I needed to.
