Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings, welcome on him as Marcus Hittl twelve o'clock tonight. Hey,
how are I hope it's good where you are. Feel
free to partake in the show or feel free to listen.
Some call, some don't, some just listen. Totally fine with that.
Whatever you do, do it right. But you bu people
here till twelve. That's right, That's what I've said. This
will be the last Tuesday in August. Presume I'm right

(00:36):
with that one. The number is eight hundred and eighty today,
nineteen nine two de text. Tim Beverage will be along
from midnight tonight, so I'll be there until then. Don't
know what we'll talk about tonight. What we won't be
talking about is cars with engines in the back, because
that was yesterday's topic. I've just been playing I know

(00:59):
that some of your own to board games. I've just
been playing finn Span, which is like wingspan wingspans with birds,
fin spans with fish. Quite a good game. Just putting
that out there. They've just texted me the results. Get
to run away to go to work. I was second,
So there we go. Hey, something that I just was

(01:21):
thinking about too while I get more to the nuts
and bolts of what's going on. So I went to
the dairy last night after work, right at midnight, and
there were four or five drivers there right picking up
orders of food for people, which I presume is milk run. Right,

(01:44):
So milk run is service. It's like Uber eats, but
you go to a dairy or a shop and you
buy food for people, and people getting magnamized creams and
bread and milk and chicken and chips with chicken salt.
Who are those people who's buying stuff at midnight on
a Monday and getting it delivered? What's going on with

(02:04):
those people? Are they people that can't drive? Are they
people staying up late? Are they people that intoxicate? And
what's going on? Who would be using milk run? In
all my years, I've never thought, oh, well, I'm going
to get someone else to go to the dairy for me. Now,
as I say it's someone with that judgment, I'm not
saying that that's a bad or lazy thing to do,

(02:24):
but I'm curious to know what's happening in people's lives.
They are doing that because it must be pricey because
you're buying it from the night and day. I think
down here and it's getting delivered, so there be a
premium on that. But yeah, I'm thinking, wow, it's Monday night.
So for those who don't know milk Run, yeah, you go.
I've never used it, but you send. They've got a
list of items and people go and get those items

(02:45):
for and deliver it. Wondering wildly about it. Who's ever
used the service and what and if you're just freaking
tell me within what circumstances you use milk Run. And
I mean the work is, it's the workers seem very
happy for a chance to work and earn money, and
there's a service for it, and there you know, it's
one of those it's one of those service economy jobs,

(03:08):
share type things that they are doing. They're out there
buying shopping for people. I've got no idea who the
market is, but I thought I'd imagine on a Friday night,
there'd be people out with her, you know, on the Rezeldez,
and I'd come home and thought, well, let's cook some
sausages on a Monday night at midnight. It made me
think that maybe I'm not really experiencing life properly. If

(03:29):
I'm not doing that. If you got a comment on that,
feel free to come through. It's called milk run and
they go and ya. I can image if they're making
school lunches and they going caught short without bread and
something for the school lunches. But it looked like magnums
and bread and hot chips. I kind of almost wonder

(03:51):
if there's a secret society, is secret level I'm missing
out on that. These people are sort of having this
great life. They're out there sort of I don't know what
they're doing, having cards evenings or something, and are forced
to scene out for food.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Wherever.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Else in the city is absolutely quiet apart from that.
Neil Marcus, welcome, you got your there? Neil?

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, gooday, how are you going good?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Thank you, Neil? What's happening with you?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
So what we do, and it's mentatious to do it
is to shop twice a month for groceries and all
the bits and pieces and plan everything, commit yourself to
having that particular that night, that particular that night, and
not have anything to deliver it in.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So you have a twice a month, so for two
weeks you plan all your.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Meals, yeah, pretty much to Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well require it requires quite a bit of organization, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
So the other well we are we are very organized.
So the other thing I want to talk about is
it eighty one years ago?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Neil, what shop do you go to?

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Just back and say, and you get everything, You get.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Your vegis and you're meeting everything from there for the
two wee.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah we do.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, we.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Get something like chim bananas, which is pretty cheap, you
know when you think about it.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, Oh bananas interesting because they come all that way.
They travel on boats, but they never seemed to they
never seemed to have seasonal fluctuation of fluctuations. They always
seem to be fairly consistent with their prices.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah. The other thing I want to talk about is
eighty one years ago was the liberation of Paris by
the Allies.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Again, ye're funny our day ely one years isn't.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
It eighty one years ago? And of course that came
just on the heels of the end of the Battle
of Normandy, and only two months after that the German Army,
six June Armies facing the Allies just fell that. It's
just walked off.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, it took seven days of liberal six days the
liberation of Paris. That went for the nineteenth of August
to the twenty fifth, but they finally surrendered on the
twenty fifth. Yeah, it's quite right. Yesterday cool, it's good.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, that's about it from me. That's something I really
specialize in that street.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Great, thanks Neil. Nice to hear from your thirteen pass
date talking about milk ride. If anyone can tell me
who's buying stuff at midnight, Stiff, we puddled all day.
I've wandered it, wondered, wandered, wondered about that. So I've
got something to say about that too. Come through, Marcus.
I once had a two liter. Oh there was a ship.

(06:43):
Text that that's gone, Dan. I once had a two
liter what time? Oh yeah, no, it's all right. It's
condensed for texts, Marcus. I once had a two little
bottle of blue milk delivered to me and a mate's
house by delivery driver. Shortly after watching my rabbit. I
was losing the warriors. Another mate knew that I was
there watching the side. I needed to know that I

(07:04):
was a pussy cat. He tracked his delivery and gave
me a phone called just as the driver rides arrived,
so that he got revel on the hilarity. That is good, Marcus.
A lot of night workers use the milk Run for
their tea break. That makes sense, That makes perfect sense.

(07:26):
There with people working night shift with nothing to eat,
there'll be no canteens around, they get milk Run. Marcus
should be very surprised what taxi drivers do at night.
They are Uber drivers and themselves. They do McDonald's drive
through for people that can't be bothered going out, pick
up cigarettes and drop them at houses, et cetera. It's unbelievab.
It's a different world at night. When even delivered a
banana milkshake at three in the morning to a woman
with cravings, Marcus, they are stoners with munchiese on a

(07:51):
Monday Marcus. Milk runers a services at Wilworth three popular
work that we have fed out door Dash, Uber Eats
delivery easy as everywhere else. Oh, these would be one
of those ones. But I can't believe how busy they
are at midnight. Marcus should probably finance night shit workers
using these services. It's seen people the munchies don't want

(08:12):
to be behind the wheel. Did we go. Did they
have a bachelor's handbag? No, none of them had a
bachelor's handbabe. But I don't think the dairy did roto chickens.
So I think it's Uber eats. Night and day are
on Uber Eats. They are hot gamers. What are hot gamers?

(08:33):
They're having ice what's the hot gamer? Are they having
ice creams? You might be one of those drivers of
his groceries at night. I'm curious to though, who's buying them? Said,
without judgment, I don't think there's anything lazy or decadent
to be sending someone to the dairy for you, But
I just want to know what's happening in those people's lives.
But if they're night shift workers, I could understand that

(08:56):
be pricy kind of a lunchtime. Well, it'd be a
pricey nighttime lunch, wouldn't it, though it could be the
freezing works I suppose, would that be right? I should
have asked one of the drivers. Actually, I get in touch.
Mark's a lot of night shift workers use the milk
run for the t break Mark, thank you? How about

(09:17):
the person in the two years for milk for the
guy that was a pussy cat? If you want to talk.
My name is Marcus welcome O eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty Hittle twelve. If there's breaking news, I'll bring
that to you. I don't know what it is at
the stage, but i'll do, madamed just to bring that
to your attention. There's a new KFC plan for Hastings.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's going to take over from where there was a
vegetable shop and a gym. But there's some sort of
kick up about that. There's an eight meter high KFC
bucket sign on the street. Would you have a problem
with that? I don't know. There are people opposed to it,
of course. There's not a performance around fast food, isn't

(10:02):
there don't what to say about that? I think very ready?
Do they turn them down just in the affluent areas
in Warnica anyway? Get in touch by name is Marcus
welcome Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. By the way,
the government's looking at making drivers' licenses and warrant certificates

(10:24):
of fitness available on motorists cell phones. The concept is
that motors we have the option of carrying their licenses
in their wallets or on their phones. Physical licenses would
always be optionals. The government knew some had issues accessing technology,
so there we go. That's a common sense thing. So

(10:45):
your driver's license is going to be on your phone.
How do you feel about that? There'll be some people
that would say if it's compulsory, they're trying to track
us or something. So we are one of the first
countries in the world to implement digital drivers' licenses. Currently
they're available on Denmark, Iceland, Norway and several US states.
Anyone got a comment on that? So your license will

(11:07):
be on your phone. I quite like my wallet with
my driver's license in my bank card and my swipe
card for working it. You, I don't want it on
my phone. I don't think you might want to comment
on that as well, particularly if you've got a controversial
angle on that one that would be of interest to me.

(11:31):
Marcus and my kids now in the late thirties and forties,
that is the norm now as well as Uber. It's
a different lifestyle, especially at night work when they have
a busy day. Cheapers, Typhoon and Vietnam, thank you, Marcus.
They are hardcore online gamers really, so if you're an

(11:52):
online gamer, can you not stop and get food? You've
got to eat it while you're there. I suppose you
are midgame. Goodness, almost feel them up. It needs to
be sort of films of what people are doing in
their lives, because a lot of it's passing me by.
I think, yeah, hardcore online gamers. They're the ones that
are ordering food in cheapers. Although that's why I think

(12:14):
they call hot gamers, or that might be. That might
be just a mistype. I think hot gamers. Anyway, do
you get in touch you on Talk Marcus till twelve
twenty past eight. I'll keep you up there with news
throughout the rest of the evening. Two people. If you
want to come through, get amongst at eight hundred and
eighty to eighty nine. Text seems to be this guy

(12:36):
on the run in Australia having shot two police. He's
taking his family hostage. Apparently no doubt that there might
be some resolution with that tonight. I'll keep you informed
with that and any other news that happens. I'll bring
that to your attention. Yep, get in touch here till
twelve o'clock tonight. So there's something different you want to
mention already we are talking about your driver's license on

(12:58):
the phone. Anyone got a problem with that? I guess
it all depends on what sort of phone you've got.
And who are these people that are getting dairy items
delivered to home? What's sort of going on for them?
When that seems goodcause it seems expensive to me anyway?
Getting touch hit or twelve? Anything else you want to
talk about? Feel Free Liberation Day of Paris, the eighty

(13:21):
first anniversary of that. Jan Marcus welcome. Yes is that
your name?

Speaker 8 (13:29):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
What the name you go by these days?

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Far away?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well?

Speaker 10 (13:35):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (13:37):
Now the driver's nice on your phone? What happens if
you lose your phone or someone like my neighbors pinch
your phone and so you've lost your driver's license?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
No different, be no difference than having your wallet punch though,
what are they what are you neighbors more likely to
punch your phone or your wallet?

Speaker 9 (13:58):
Well, they punch to at night phone.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Have they punched your wallet?

Speaker 11 (14:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, I'd stick with your wallet.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
Yeah, I think hard copy is better. It's your photo
ID and that they can exs your bank. And also.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
The idea although it has got you, it has got
your photo on it. Yeah, but close and they could go,
they could go to a plastic surgeon, and it changed
to look like you, Jen, couldn't they and then they'll
be taking all your money.

Speaker 9 (14:43):
The other thing I wanted to ask you, you know,
the theory is now redundant. I thought maybe you and
I could buy it. Apparently it's a dollar Is it right?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Does no one want to buy the rat? Is that right?
I think I'm going to read.

Speaker 9 (15:00):
That saying again to I'm floated over to India and
scrap it. I thought you and I could go and
sail up the Red Sea through the Panama now into
the Mediterranean, go and rescue the Palestinians.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
It must be useful for some sort of accommodation or something,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
Yeah, rescuing the Palestinians.

Speaker 10 (15:29):
Perfect.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Good to hear from you, Jane, Thank you for that.
Twenty six past eight, Peter, it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (15:34):
Welcome y Marcus.

Speaker 12 (15:36):
I'll be watching YouTube and on YouTuber making powerful free.
They use magnates to oppose each other and turn around
in the case, just because wherever.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
They've discovered perpetual motion, have they?

Speaker 12 (15:53):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and another thing someone else has done.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
What's the what's the YouTuber count?

Speaker 12 (16:02):
I'm not sure. I just watch it on the flip
it over. But I know the thing that make it
generated out of and a waste, a waste something which
is not random active, and it cames all the time,
and they're going to market it too. And all these
pieces that are put on solar power just just rubbish

(16:23):
because of twenty five years they solar power is down,
be poisonous and poison all the whole ground and it's
just hopeless matters.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Why would say so I got my hit in my hands.
Why would solar power poison the ground.

Speaker 12 (16:39):
Because it's got a lot of poisonous articles inside it
and last for twenty five years.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Oh you mean you mean you mean the actual panels.

Speaker 12 (16:49):
Yeah, actual panels.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I think they're recycling that stuff in the pedels now
they can reuse that and the new panels use much
less of it. So so actually for one panel you
can now make about ten panels. That's the way that's going.
But Peter, just speak to your original thing with your
perpetual motion machine, right that you've seen on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, that doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Well opposs no, doesn't it that there be always some
friction or some noise. It's one of the laws of
thermodynamics that can't exist.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
But it's YouTube, Peter, it's Peter, listen to me. It's YouTube.

Speaker 12 (17:26):
Yeah, what about it?

Speaker 3 (17:28):
If it's if it's in the Nature magazine or some
scientific magazine that's robust and peer reviewed. Don't believe it.
But it's YouTube. If you're a scientist the effected perpetual motion,
would you be on YouTube or would you meet some
university with the physical lectures getting it peer reviewed?

Speaker 12 (17:43):
I reckon oppose it go around all the time.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I mean, it's not going to happen.

Speaker 12 (17:52):
Well wait, well wait, see's right, and that is wrong.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
No, no, Peter, you're clearly wrong. You don't want to
be You don't want to be on YouTube? Why because
fillinger with rubbish?

Speaker 12 (18:09):
Well that's not all rubbish.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well what have you seen that's not rubbish?

Speaker 12 (18:13):
Well rubbish?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
What's what? What's some stuff that's not rubbish?

Speaker 13 (18:19):
Rubbish?

Speaker 12 (18:20):
They've been in rubbish and Singapore?

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Right, Yeah, I've got to go, Peter, But thank you.
Just take care out there. Well I've been a while,
so I've heard to call on perpetual motion cheapers. Anyway,
feel free to get in touch. Eight hundred and eighty
ten text couple of texts, Marcus, I traveled a lot

(18:43):
and have an APEX visa on my phone. That's a
visa to enter and stand a country for three months
driver license. Such a simple and practical thing to implement.
Need New Zealand to get smarter. I'm all for it,
Cheers Paul. As a young person of my life is
much more on my phone than on a wallet or something,
so I can see the benefits much more than the negative's. Apologies,
you may have stopped talking about this topic. My parents

(19:04):
have switched off the radio momentarily. Wow, it's calling the shots,
John Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Yeah, you got eating Marcus. I want to give you
a bit of use the information.

Speaker 14 (19:17):
You know.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
You know McDonald's. Now they were time to get into
wanted to and they were being opposed. Now in Hamilton. Here,
if you know the main street of Hamilton, this is
coming north Victoria Street. It goes ahead down to what
they call fair for the bridge. Hi. You can turn
to the left at the y and that takes it

(19:38):
down here. Okay, you know what I mean. Now, just
before it goes turds comes onto the wire's proceeding down
north on the right hand side. It was a big
place there that the Assembly of Guard had bought. They
owned a big, big building where they used to have
their meetings. Now the Donalds have just bought that side

(20:01):
and they'll bowl that whole building, and that's kind of
substantial building, and they're going to put the caves. The
McDonald's are there now. They paid nine million plus for that.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Cheapers, did you know that McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Own all the the big owners of real estate and
all their sites they actually owned.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I didn't know that. I didn't know that. The model work.
The people do say they're not a food company, that
they're a property company, so I assumed something like that.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
And as well as that there, they're just about the
biggest purchases and users of meat as well. And you know,
I went over. I mean, I'm only eighty nine, I'm
just the young fellow. I was over those those you know,
to start with with sort of a drive through in
America when they started those things, and they just drove

(20:51):
a love on you in your car and you didn't
have to get out, and you picked up your meal
and you carried on. But now there these the McDonald
restaurants are very nice and you can go in there
and get a bite to eat and have a nice
cup of coffee. But I think they're very quality. I
wouldn't call them jug fruit at all.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
You get your coffee for free, do you, John Will?

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Actually, yeah, you do. If I go to the food
court at.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Is your McDonald's coffee free with a Winston card?

Speaker 4 (21:29):
What card?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
You're Winston, you're senior, you green your gold card.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
I don't know that they want I mean, mind you,
they need it with me because I look about bubbly
fifty nine.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I see you're cursed by being quite young looking. So
the McDonald's would own the restaurant and the charge right,
the charge rent to the franchise. Is it the way
it works?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I don't. I don't know anything about that, but I
would presume that that you buy the franchise because I
know in Hamilton alone there's some enormous, enormous and donald's.
And you know it's quite if you've got a young
fellow John the birthday, you can take them all along

(22:12):
there with with about twelve kids, and they taken them
a nice party.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh yeah, lose them in the bull. But that's that's
a great thing. I think the I think it was
a guy that owned the McDonald's and Hamilton then invented
the Kiwi Burger. Burgerfield, Kiwi Burger, you.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Know what that is. I don't know about the Kiwi Burger,
but there's a new Zealand franchise that's called Burgerfield.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, we just got what year I have had one
of those. I don't too drippy for me. Too much
stuff going on in them. There's too much.

Speaker 4 (22:47):

That's it, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
But you got to have that market. You've got to
have that culturals.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Because it can be a bit greasy and it cuts
through a little bit, doesn't it.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, nice to talk. John have enjoyed that greatly. It

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
The brother key We burger was invented in Hamilton by
is that now quiz Dan? Yeah, Brian Old was the
McDonald's franchise. He invented the Kywi Burger in nineteen ninety one.
I think they need a statue of that in Hamilton.
That's probably its second greatest achievement after the Rocky Horror Show. Well,

(25:42):
they have trouble getting that past council because some would
see that as an advertisement for the mcdonaldson, a beastie
and all of that. Actually, let's not suggest that. Twenty
two away from nine, I want to talk about milk
Run and dowdaesh all those delivery things. Who's using those
to get food at home? Kind of interested about that.

(26:05):
How many McDonald's does Hamilton need? Seem to have a
lot of them, don't they. Anyhow, every time we come
up with something interesting on the show, we write that
down as a question. I think at the end of
the year we will have a quiz that's all related
to things people have said on the show. Like one question,

(26:26):
we've just gone back to the seat. Look at the questions.
One of the questions, don't answer this way to the
end of the year. One of the questions was what
is the name of the three different buns and a
big mac. They've all got distinct names. Not many will
know that. I can't remember what.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
They are.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Research. Of course, very good day down here, planted a
lot of flax. Very successful day. Feel quite virtuous today
coming to work. Craig gets Marcus.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
Good evening, good evening, the's a game.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Good Thank you Craig, thanks for asking.

Speaker 8 (26:57):
It's all right.

Speaker 11 (26:58):
How did you get your cards?

Speaker 6 (26:59):
Write out of key?

Speaker 3 (27:00):
No, I've used the other I've used the other cardn't.
I drove it to work. Didn't smell or anything. Seems fine.
I'm not just I'm not. I'm not too stressed about it.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Be worse.

Speaker 11 (27:09):
It was like milk or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
But yes, milk's terrible stuff to spills it. Milk's terrible stuff.

Speaker 11 (27:15):
Yeah, I've worked with a couple with a couple of
recent mil milk.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
The worst stuff to spill.

Speaker 11 (27:22):
In the car, I'd say probably yogurt.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Because it's one stage more fermented.

Speaker 11 (27:29):
Yeah, and with all the different bacteria that seems to
grow quite mold quite nicely. I guess milk's probably worse
because it seeds into your carpet more than yogurt would.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, I think the worst.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (27:41):
Yeah, I've worked with a couple of guys recently. We
did the night shift or whatever, and they get milk
run basically just get takeaways and whatever, just because it's
a lot of time where we work here and like
in factories in there. By the time you sign out,
change out, your clothes, go and all that stuff, it's
a lot of hassles just to actually get milk rum
it's a lot easier. I don't seen that sorte of thing.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
But so so, so where are you're working.

Speaker 11 (28:06):
Work in a factory, production line, factory where you basically
you go through a change room, you get changed in overalls,
and you go to the factory and stuff like that.
By time to come out and change and all that
and then have to sign out and get your food
and signed back in again.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
It's okay. So is lunchtime at midnight?

Speaker 11 (28:23):
Yeah, I've been working with friend recently and yeah, lunch
times around about midnight because we had to work after
hours when the factory was shut down.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
So okay, So let me product. Let me look at that.
So there's no canteen on site, there's no shops open,
so it's really your only option, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (28:41):
Yeah, all the canteens are shut down because there only
from a like our seventh or six operation. We work
after ours to run caban for the networks, so we're
not in their way. And then there's no canteens and nothing,
and most of the dairies are closed around We were were.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Hang hang on, Craig, Craig, don't try and run away
from this topic.

Speaker 11 (28:57):
This might be might be more interesting than I thought.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
It was one of the most interesting. So what would
people order?

Speaker 11 (29:05):
They used to order from one of the local supermarkets
and stuff. He used to get ham and like just
the preosh buns or whatever.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
They do a hand roll at lunch time.

Speaker 17 (29:16):
Yeah, like.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, and make it. But at work the brilliant thing
to do.

Speaker 11 (29:21):
Yeah, it was just thing you just we saw excess
to the cafeterias. You just go and wack it in
the microwave to warm the bum up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
And yeah, just a briefful answer. I reckon listening to
your voice, you weren't doing that. You were to organize
and brought something from home?

Speaker 11 (29:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (29:38):
I brought stuff from home. I'm organized, but you sound
I just I just bring that.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
I bet I bet you looked obviously at the guy
with his ham and salad, brioche bun warmed.

Speaker 18 (29:50):
In the microway.

Speaker 11 (29:51):
I just I just brought over lifto Megan macaroni cheese,
and you heav and it's like, ah, man, yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Ok, yeah, And what's the delivery for you? How much
would you pay for the delivery?

Speaker 11 (30:03):
I'm not just saying how much you paid. I have
to find out for but I don't think it was
too expensive really. I mean it's probably in part with
like uber each and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Do you get it's the money working night shift? Do
you get a bonus?

Speaker 11 (30:17):
No, we don't get a bonus. We just we get
paid fairly well but not bonus. But just the only
time where you can do it. But the other thing
other than listening to John was yes, sir. And then
another McDonald's coming to Hamilton here. But that makes eight
McDonald's and Hamilton. Yeah eight. So yeah, we've got Gray Street,
Peach Grove, Chartwell Road tuner and then there's two at

(30:39):
through up a one at the base, a tower based
and one across the road and the service station, and
then you've got, yeah, Greenwood Street. They seem to be
majority of the seem to be across the road from KFC's.
I guess it's yeah, I guess it gets close to
your competition. Yeah, it doesn't make eight stores.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, not a good look for the city, is it.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Well.

Speaker 11 (31:01):
I love when you get down Greenwood Street and within
between two sets of lights, you've got Wendy's, McDonald's, KFC, Carl's, Junior, Burger,
king Berg Fuel all between two sets of lights.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
I reckon it's going to I reckon in the very
not too distant future, there's going to be a huge
move away from all that food. I think people are
just going to get sick of it. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:22):
I tended to save up the money and go to
like Burger Fuel, where it's a little bit more. I
find it's a little more wholesome food than McDonald's. The
problem I find McDonald's is you eat and when you
walk out you still feel hungry.

Speaker 13 (31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:35):
Anyway, I guess it's the way things go.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Are you working night shift tonight, Craig, No, No, I've.

Speaker 11 (31:42):
Got to work on next Monday and Tuesday nights, so
got the rest of this week of fact and normally
hours at the moment.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I've never thought about people on night shift, working at
midnight and wanting something for lunch. It's a really good
thought that I appreciate you coming through such fulsome answer
as Greg fourteen to nine. The worst thing to spill
in a car someone said, spilt broke a bottle of
rum and a car was for a wedding bad smell.

(32:10):
McDonald's has a plan to open ten thousand new restaurants
by the end of the decade. Wow. Wow, Marcus Dawdash
is a bit of a scam. They offer you a
discount to entice you, but hiding the fine print. They'll
sign you up for subscription. No we maill follow up.
You only find it up by looking at the credit
card nine ninety nine for cheap delivery charges. When contacted

(32:31):
to complain, they immediately offer a refund and scripted apology.
I wonder how many others have been stung for a
service that didn't adend to sign up for Pete and
christ Church disaster in the kitchen tonight after KFC currently
appreciated your last caller and what he ordered. That's John
who's eighty nine? A three piece of chicken cole slaw,

(32:55):
potato and gravy and strawberry cheesecake. I think was what
he had, wasn't it? They should market that as a
John pack. It'd be a great thing to do. I
did ask chat GPT and Google Gemini the worst thing
to spill in a car? Chat GPT said the worst

(33:16):
thing to spill in the car would be a thirty
two ounce styrofoam cup of hot clam chowder, which is
quite specific, isn't it says by day two, the sour
spill involves into a fermented fish dairy death fog, which
is pretty prescriptive, isn't it. Yeah, wouldn't have milk. And

(33:43):
at the hot clam chowder, it says it's got milk
already on the edge. It's chunky with clams, potatoes and
bacon grease. Then I asked Google Gemini, which is the
other AI platform, which is slightly better, says the worst
thing you could spill in a car would be live
adult fire ants mixed with a liter of molasses. Yeah,

(34:08):
so they've got the whole combination of smell and sounds.
Blaine it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 19 (34:15):
How's it going, mate?

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Good Blaine, you've got a car spell story.

Speaker 20 (34:20):
Yeah, Ma sot my previous job. One of my chefs, Lena,
she took she took seafood chowder home. It was probably
about seven hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred miles, probably about
the same as talking about the clam chowder.

Speaker 19 (34:37):
And it was steefod chowder.

Speaker 21 (34:39):
And she had to slam on the brake all over
the car.

Speaker 19 (34:43):
And I used to borrow that car when I didn't
have mine working at the time, and litterally for that
month two months. It was the most rancid smell you
could ever smell. And when you're before you describe the
clam chowder, I was going to say a secret chowder.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Well good on check gpt getting it? Soah did she
ever rick? Did Lena ever ricktify the car? Did ever
get sorted?

Speaker 9 (35:07):
Ah?

Speaker 19 (35:08):
Not by the time I stopped borrowing it.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Thanks, Blaine. I think we've got a sequential topic from
last night eight to nine. But yeah, it's quite old
because honestly, we've all done it. We've all got something
from like a takeaway meal and it's just been on
the passenger seat and then suddenly your cars pull out
and you slam on the packs and next thing. Yet
it's everywhere, and there's that terrible feeling. Oh jeepest creepers,

(35:35):
it's gonna fly forward, and it does and impossible to
clean up from. But yes, anyway, Marcus, it's my minderstanding
that McDonald's and KFC don't own the buildings they used to.
But it makes more business sense and more profits for
them to use their capital to open new branches around
the world rather have it tied up in property, which

(35:56):
will be a lower yield. I guess the business model's
probably changed over the years. Oh way, one hundred and
eighty Teddy keep texts coming through. Absolutely worst is a
little bit of fish that of fish bait that falls
off your rod of the car milk is bad. The

(36:17):
smallest bit of bait another level. Burn it, Marcus. My
husband is a mechanic. He's had to fix a car
that wrecked with something disgusting. In the end, they found
a festering bag of rotten broccoli under the front seat.
It was horrific how the owner hadn't smelled it as unbelievable.

(36:40):
Rotten meat in a car boot is another one. He
refused to work on it.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Of course there's some people that don't have a sense
of smell, and for them, I guess their cars could
be a different thing because you wouldn't know to go
and look for the broccoli rosette on a rotten broccoli,
A festering bag of rotten broccoli. It sounds like a
line of poetry, doesn't it. A festering bag of rotten broccoli.
It's got a good punched with that line. The worst

(37:10):
thing to spill in a car is what we're on
about tonight. So yes, Marcus, I just came inside for
clearing my wife's car. She protectile vomited all over the
front to the saft doon Wiston traffl and Auckland's motorway,
all through the vents, all through the seat, all through
the center console, everywhere. I don't know how I'm going
to get the smell out. We'll keep listening, and good

(37:31):
on you for cleaning it up, because of course she
would be a no state too. If she's unewell like that,
pregnant or sick. It's not good for Auckland's traffic in
the motorway.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Is it.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Good thing she wasn't on the bus. So though I
suppose you could say, I think we're on a good topic,
we've kind of side pivoted from yesterday. We're talking about
the worst things to spilling cars. We were talking initially
about milk run and Uber eat delivering things to houses,
but now we've moved on to things to spilling cars.

(38:03):
And yeah, this is good stories coming through, and a
lot of people are also wanting the solutions or how
to solve car smells. But I'm kind of the feeling
that if you spill stuff in cars, no matter how
you mask it, you'll always at some times have oral reminder.

(38:27):
Is that the right word? No, what's the word to
do with sound? Anyway, I guess that's the You will
have reminders of what that smell is, old factory reminders,
I guess is what I'm saying. Anyway, do come to
if you want to talk. We are talking Carl Spills
tonight here till twelve. Obviously, Yes, Chris Marcus, welcome you.

Speaker 16 (38:51):
Marcus.

Speaker 19 (38:51):
My father.

Speaker 16 (38:54):
Put a fish back in my I caught a good
sized kingfish when I was younger, and I told my
older brother could tell Dad to say out under a
sack by the goldfish pond and the and the shake,
and he finish it off. I already gutted it and
to break it down, and my older brother forgot and
then he went out and sprayed some blowflies that landed

(39:16):
on it, and they landed in the goldfish pond. So
my father was very bit peed with me. He picked
up the fish and shoved it in the boot. Now
I was away for two weeks. I was away for
two weeks from when I walked up the driveway after
going away hunting. I walk past my car, and yeah,
that pong's a bit well. I tried to hop in
my car and I couldn't. And I can still pitchre

(39:37):
my father's tears rolling.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
Out of his eyes.

Speaker 16 (39:41):
With it, with the bloody smell. Now, I used a
whole gallon of Jpine commercial disinfectant, real heavy stuff, threw
the mats out the back. Still didn't get rid of
the smell. I had the windows down for probably a week.
Still didn't get rid of the smell. So in the end,
I bought about six packets of those bodiesticks whatever they are.
They're in sent stuck and I put them on the

(40:03):
front seat inside a a tin can with a couple
of bricks, and I put the whole up the smoke
and shut the shut the windows, and I did that
about three times, and the smell eventually disappeared total.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Could you still get reminders of it?

Speaker 16 (40:20):
No, No, totally disappeared. It had gotten to their polstry
and stuff for that smoke. Just when everywhere like you couldn't.

Speaker 11 (40:27):
See the cars.

Speaker 16 (40:28):
I had extra clean the inside of the windscreen and
all the windows. Afterwards, put the amund the smoke damage
sort of thing, but they got rid of the smell.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Was it hot? Is it hot weather? When you were away.

Speaker 16 (40:40):
Hot hot weather?

Speaker 3 (40:41):
You didn't say that.

Speaker 16 (40:44):
Yeah, I seen. Now got a whole part of flounders
for the family. I cleaned all them up properly. But
one of this king fish I actually caught in the
shallow so it was chasing young sprats and I caught
it and there was just too big for me at
the time to do something with it. I thought my
dad will stake the whole thing. And yeah, my older
brother forgot.

Speaker 11 (41:02):
To tell him.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Funny story. Thanks for that, chris Ken Mick is welcome.

Speaker 14 (41:06):
Oh A, Marcus, thanks for the call. Smelling things in Cali.
I drove a taxi for about twenty odd years, and
I had a lot of things spiled in the cab
over those years, beer and milk. Milk was bad, beer
was a bit too good, and potato top pie. And
then one day in the school holidays, had a job

(41:27):
there to pick up somebody to go into town and
it was school holidays, and pulled up outside the house
and I heard the kids shut out, I'm the taxis here,
and they started running across the front lawn. They had
no front fence. They started running out the front door,
across the lawn and into the taxi, the three of
them into the back, and then mom comes out and

(41:48):
gets in the front and we're off down to the movies.
And there's something smelling wrong here. There's one of your kids.
Needs to stop and go to the plilett, I think,
And she said, no, no, there's nothing wrong with my kids.
And I said they looked, so I stopped the cab
and they had to look over the back and they
walked through some dogdoes hell and fronted all through.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
The hell that carpet.

Speaker 14 (42:12):
So that was the end of me for the day.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
That's your one. I guess that's the thing that TEXI.
Once that happens, that's the door. That's your job gone,
isn't it.

Speaker 6 (42:20):
Yes, what a horrible thing.

Speaker 14 (42:23):
That was probably about the worst experience I had with
that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
It's a good story, Ken, I can I can imagine that.
So easy for kids to do as well. Goodness, it's
good story. Becau didn't know it was going to go
that one, Ken, so kind of you saved. It was
a great one. Rossett's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (42:39):
Oh yeah, Marcus uh si story ringing. I listened to
even but yeah, I'm from nature. That doesn't matter. But
time this afternoon, I thought I've watched the very the
New Zealand woman's rugby team playing playing Spain on the
TV because it was a repeat and the whole the

(43:00):
whole thing was a married There was no English subtitles
or anything of it. Actually I thought it was Spanish,
but it wasn't that. It's all a malely you know.
I was very disappointed in that because one of these
girls we don't know that well, and I was just
disappointed that they didn't have at least subtitles or anything.

(43:21):
But I don't think it should all be a Marria.
It's a New Zealand team, not just a Mary team,
you know.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
That's Yeah, there's a lot to unpick from this school Ross. Yeah,
what channel was it on?

Speaker 22 (43:37):
Channel fifteen on TV?

Speaker 3 (43:41):
What channel is that?

Speaker 23 (43:43):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (43:43):
It's a bit sky?

Speaker 18 (43:46):
Was the school?

Speaker 22 (43:46):
Sky is something?

Speaker 7 (43:47):
Rather?

Speaker 22 (43:48):
It was on there helped us too. I think it
started this afternoon. Yeah, the game was actually played the
other night. It might have been Sunday night, but there
was two late at night for me to watch, and
so I thought I'd wanted to say and enjoy. Oh
I didn't enjoy it, but I'll turned the sound off.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yeah. Look, I don't know what's going on there. I'm
just looking at the TV listings now, right, Yeah, so
I'm just going back in time. Okay, So what's it? Say, Dan?

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Yeah, okay, yep, okay, okay, So roster situation. Right when
the game is live, they'll play the English version, and
a couple of days later when they rebroadcast it, they
played the today version. But I'm watching it now on
TV right, yeah, and it's in English.

Speaker 22 (45:00):
Was afternoon.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
I wasn't, no, but have you.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Even got Sky?

Speaker 24 (45:04):
Have you?

Speaker 10 (45:05):
No?

Speaker 22 (45:05):
I haven't No, I haven't try to watch it this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Yeah, sky Sport does both versions at the same time,
but they do it in English and they do it
in today as well.

Speaker 22 (45:14):
Oh well, we'll just disappointed that, you know, no subtitles
didn't again because some of the girls you don't know
their names. They love that familiar us.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
As you know, it's been.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Quite as quite a good game. It's it looks like
it's going to be quite a good tournament.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
Tell me what.

Speaker 22 (45:30):
It was a terrific game. I like it because they
retained the position. They kick it away.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
No, that's right, they kick it. They can't catch all
those box kicks.

Speaker 22 (45:40):
Very very just there's I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though
I couldn't hear it.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
No, that seems that's they got on you for persevering
Ross and just just soldiering on. Brilliant jeeves, Well done Ross.
He came against adversity, he came against up against today,
and he coped brilliant. Lot of great text. I'll get
to those or there's forty four McDonald's New Market given

(46:07):
the consent today to drive through one down by the
old drive through liquor store. Anyway, the worst thing to
spell in your car, Marcus, The worst thing is spilled.
The suit of the car is beach reduce to not

(46:28):
realize that particularly the next person is sit down is
wearing white linen pants. Try a whole twenty four pack
of eggs. They sat in the car for two weeks
while on a Christmas visit. I discovered it was time
to leave it and permeated the screws around the seats.
The seats need to be removed or replaced after stream cleaning.

(46:48):
Wow Marcus who used to fly for a small airline
at Auckland Airport. One day A passed it from Great
Bearyl and gave us some fresh flounder. At the end
of the day, none of us really wanted to take
them home. We knew where the opposition airline kept the
office key, so I snuck in there with the flowner.
We put one in the waste paper but under a desk,
and stuck the other one on the underside of the
desktop with a bunch of drawing pins. The office lad

(47:10):
he went nuts the next day when she saw the
fish in the bin. They could never work out why.
The smell didn't get any better until the other fish
began to rot and started dripping on her leg. As
she started her computer. Of course, that's a bit grim.
Marcus owned a Hilm and one hundred in the late
eighties while at Uni was home for the holidays and
Mum gave me some wild ducks that Dad had shot
to take back to my Uni flat. Unfortunately, one rolled

(47:31):
out of the box and fell into the wheel well
and the boot couldn't work out the swell. Just thought
it was the wet carpets as the car leaked like
as so finally found the sauce after about six months
with the smell got unbearable. The wheel well was full
of water and a duck had settle at the bottom.
It's not good, is it? Talk about cars spills and
are the worst things smell wise? Yeah, get in touch,

(47:58):
you got them, I'll get some of these. Text is
a lot there. There's a lot that about shells being
left and from children. But I don't have a shell story.
I want to tell you about too. I was ending
a friend today. That's restrict doing up a house, well
kind of, there's more than doing up. It's got like

(48:18):
a major renovation of an old house. And in one
of the internal walls in this old house, it's a
house with sacking, sacking boards. It's got boards on the
inside between the and I guess they had a wallpaper
over them, and in the boards between two of the rooms,
an internal wall between I think a bedroom in the

(48:39):
in the lounge, he's taking some of the boards off
and the space between the two walls is entirely fill
with shells, conical shells about two inches long, thousands and
thousands of them. Couldn't work out what they're there for.

(49:01):
I bring a photo tomorrow. Actually see whatever that was?
That something that people did in the day putting shells
in their walls. I presume it might have been for
soundproofing or for installation. Strangest thing, do you even know
where the shells were from? It didn't like a shell
that you see it. Bluff must have found some supply

(49:24):
of them, and it happened during the structure when it
would have happened. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Anyway, you
might want to comment on that. Twenty two past nine
eight and eighty eight Peter Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (49:39):
You know, Marcus, I used to have a friend who
used to clean for the Christ Church, cleaning buses for
the Cross Church transport board, and they had a terrible
smell in one of the buses once it couldn't work
it out where it was coming from. It ended up
that one of the drivers must when it was the
bus was idling away, must have urgently needed to go

(49:59):
to the toilet, so he'd lifted a trap door at
the back of the bus and done a pool on
top of the motor. Because as the moder got hot,
the smell got worse and worse, until my friend eventually
found it.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Do you believe it?

Speaker 4 (50:15):
I do?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Sents but far fetched to me, Peter, But yeah, thank you.
Wow anyway, twenty three past nine, would they come on anyway?

Speaker 7 (50:24):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Eight hundred and eighty Eachadia nineteen nine. To text Marcus.
Quite a few years ago, my mother's good friend called
row to show my mom and new car. She'd been
grocery shopping and forgot she'd pidged a pound of butter. Wow.
After an hour or so we went round to find
the butter completely melted into the back seat. She never

(50:45):
to keep the smell completely out and sold the car
after a year or so. Goodness, Wow, you never would
be disgusting, Marcus. When the petrol went to the pedal
station to get cast for them, either the tin had

(51:05):
a glass clasp lid. On the way home, a dog
round in front of the We slammed on the brakes,
hit the dog, peleton and the passenger side Footwell, it's
spilt two letters. Dog survived and we drove round with
the windows down for days. Had to wash the carpet
numerous times. Marcus Beck in ninety four and mated a

(51:26):
brand new laser sport with a nice factory smell in
Teria until one of the girls filled a magnum bottle
of Marque Voo, which covered one side of the rear
floor loose cork. Oops, greetings are welcome lines their free.
My name is Marcus, could you I think we'll be
getting old Aaron Pederson sentencing sometime soon too, Although I
can't imagine that's going to be a surprise twenty one.

(51:47):
She'll be away probably for a long long time. I
would imagine there'd be my take on that one. Ah yeah,
So anyway, I guess that's it's pretty grim around, isn't
it really? Anyway? Now? Either way, there's been drama in

(52:07):
the baseball. You wouldn't see that Cardinals first basement Wilson
Contraras threw a bat that mistakenly hit his own coach.
It must just happen. It's just breaking news that one
don't often see that. So yeah, no doubt there'd be
footage of that that's come through. People have footage of
sport when it's gone bad. We're talking about bad things

(52:29):
to spill in cars. And also milk run that delivery
service who use it? But obviously it's a lot of
people working nights. And I'm glad I solved that conundrum.
It's a very good explanation that, yeah, you're working nights,
there's no canteen, there's nothing to eat. Of course you're
going to get some sort of delivery service because you'd
be starving, particularly if you're not that well organized. So yes,

(52:52):
that's interesting. Now, and why would you there be shells
inside the wall lining of internal wall? Well that was
pretty interesting. Marcus I sympathized with the guy to watch
your rugby men, which with the commentary he couldn't understand.
But is the sound of our indigital language, indigenous language
so offensive that they had to be muted? He says.

(53:14):
I said, there was a lot to one pick from
that call. But look, the guy's watching women's rugby and
maybe that's the victory we need to celebrate, one small
step at a time. Maybe for him by the way too,
If anyone's I'm quite puzzled by that may Day story.
If anyone's got any comments about that, I can't work

(53:35):
out what would happen. I would be a moronic thing
for anyone to do deliberately to pretend to have gone
down on the boat. But yeah, and I still don't
know what would have happened. I mean, I don't know.
I mean I presume they knew they were Kiwi's. There
was an accent they went for people from overseas, but
why would they be in the straight anyway? So I
can't kind of work what that's about. You might have

(53:56):
something to say about that also, anyway. Wow, he's a story, Marcus.
He used to run my dogs along the beach punaweya Uwaka.
Then one of my dogs went missing, and when I
finally caught up with her, she was rolling in a dead,
decayed seal. Well, she rode home in my boot. But

(54:17):
my god, I've never smelt something as horrible as that day.
I reached all the way home and my car stunk
for weeks. Wow, I wonder why you didn't just I
would have gone to well, I don't know what I
would have done. Would have gone somewhere and washed the
dog probably.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Wow, it's a pretty grim drive home in it nice
part of the country. Twenty eight away from ten Marcus
till midnight lines fear for been trying to get through
now oh Way one hundred and eighty ten eighty nineteen
ninety de text by the way talking about Sydney. A

(55:00):
Sydney council has been revealed with spent tens of thousands
of dollars removing a diamond shaped roundabout that confused drivers
and vanished just days after opening. It's called a diamond about.
I don't quite know how it works. Why would you
make a diamond shape roundabout? So I presume it's a

(55:22):
roundabout being going to go in certain directions? Wow, I
don't quite understand it. Yeah, but can you go right round? Okay?
So it's like an oval, You're gonna go around ovally? Wow?
Why do you make it an oval? Marcus? In terms
of the May Day story, I believe it was a fake.

(55:44):
We've had someone who has managed to hack into more
security comms and have made multiple fake announcements of a
bomb threat causing entire evacuations. I'm pretty sure what device
they're using to access and fake the equipment line, and
I assume its the same with this mayday call Marcus,
when as a student we're off to a party and
stopped at the bottlestorm. I mate dropped a half g

(56:06):
of you're on the floor, my brother's hold and it's smashed.
There's a lot of beer and a half gs. Chris,
get in touch you on a talk fayettes, Marcus, welcome,
good evening, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 23 (56:15):
Regarding the shells in the side walls, there are some
old original farm there was in Autumn Bradley Park and
Littleton Harbor and you can do tours of them sometimes.
And the guide pointed out that the granary walls were
full of shells because when rats and mice tried to
tunnel through, the shells had just come down and blocked them.

(56:37):
So the idea seems to be to keep the rodents
out because they can't get through.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Makes sense, doesn't it It does.

Speaker 23 (56:45):
You might have to keep topping up the shells, of course,
but plenty of shells.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
So which walls did which walls were these ones?

Speaker 23 (56:53):
The granary where they stored their wheat or water.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
They understand you understand, Yes, in one of this house
of that what they could have been fought for rats
or vermin because it would control vermin, wouldn't it would That's.

Speaker 23 (57:07):
Right, especially if it was a bedroom and be able
to sleep quieter at night.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Yeah. And I think it must have been done when
it was in construction, because there's partitions on the walls,
there's dwangs or whatever, so it's fulled each you know,
they must have as they've gone. They've filled them all
with shells as they've gone. It's a wheelhouse.

Speaker 23 (57:24):
Yes, there's quite a bit of work, really, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
And they also look like they're not a locally sourced shell.
I don't even know where the shells are from, but yeah,
I'll keep investigating, favored. Thank you. That's good information, Marcus.
When we were teens, I snuck a whole fresh step
under the seat springs of a mate's car seat and
eighties mares to three to three took them weeks to
figure out what the smell was of an it fell
on the floor. Not necessarily approve of pranks with fish

(57:49):
and cars. It seems a weird thing to me for me, Marcus,
I suspect that either it was a decoy for first
responders to a call out for something illegal to happen elsewhere.
I hadn't thought of that, or pure and simply a
hoax for a job that's expensively not funny, for a
joke that's expensively not funny. I hope they get caught, Jade,

(58:10):
thank you, hence thought of the diversion. Get in touch,
Marcus till twelve, twenty two to ten, Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine to nine two to tix anything
else you want to talk about. Good, let's be hearing
from you as I say, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty the old hot clamm child, that's the worst thing
to spill. It's a good, right, it's a good If

(58:32):
you want to watch the match, it's on Sky if
you haven't got Sky, though, that's some talking about the
match too that that guy wanted to watch. But the
commentary was in today. So yes, they are free to
wear some of the matches. I think. I think they're
free live. They're not at great times to watch, but
I guess that's making it more exciting. Twenty two to

(58:54):
ten if you want to be part of it, hitdle twelve.
My name is Marcus. Welcome. Keep your deal with the
news that it happens as I say, oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine two to text. Let me
just look at this one thing. No, I haven't got
any news stories for you. Just off the bet, but

(59:15):
we'll do what we can. Some folks first with the
KFC and Hastings. I read the article and couldn't work
out what the problem was. You might know something about that, also, Roger, welcome, well, Hi.

Speaker 25 (59:29):
Mark, good.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Thanks Roger.

Speaker 24 (59:32):
So I possibly on a bit off topic of money,
just got in the car and joined the conversation. But
who was he said about a guy putting a fashion
a friend's car. I had a good friend of mine
back in the seventies commities. I was working at Eddington

(59:53):
Workshops the railways there, and he had a bit of
an old occation with one of his bosses. So on
the Friday he unscrewed the panel of the post office
and put a fashion there and screw the bare cast
him put the best the eater on over the weekend
and when it turned out Monday, you couldn't even you

(01:00:15):
couldn't get me in the door for the smell.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
What do you say, what, Roger, what did what did
you say? He unscrewed?

Speaker 24 (01:00:22):
Yeah, he duk the panel off the wall and put
the fish behind the wall.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Okay, it's pretty It strikes me as pretty extreme and
spiteful stuff.

Speaker 24 (01:00:34):
Ah yeah, I say. I say that guy was like
a trades for to him, and it has been pretty pretty.

Speaker 15 (01:00:42):
Rough on him for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:00:44):
But yeah, it's it's quite unique though. I mean it's
it's really quite clever in some ways. That's something I
would do.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
No, I just wonder where people's minds going like that,
with that sense of vengeance.

Speaker 22 (01:00:57):
I was planning.

Speaker 24 (01:00:58):
Oh well, dude, I'll tell you what. Out in the
in the workplace right now, there's a lot of stuff
going on like that, Well not quite, but with people
worried about their jobs and people trying to secure their jobs.
And I remember back in the early eighties when they
had the crash and all that, a lot of workers

(01:01:22):
the hours were taken off them and giving to the
foreman sort of thingion And I've got to sabotage of
workers as well, because there's plenty of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
With that going on what inst what industry is that
in Roger?

Speaker 24 (01:01:37):
Oh well, it was also actually because of my trade.
I dealt with hospitality engineering just here, just all over
the place really and they were tense times, you know,
a bit like it is there. I mean, there's an
awful lot of unheavy workers out there right now that
are just.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Well, there's an extraordinary number of people moving to Australia.
I'm amazed for come across with people that are just
uping and going. Well.

Speaker 24 (01:02:10):
The things market is that when someone leads a job,
are not replaced and the words split between the people
are there, So a lot of people are doing more words.

Speaker 21 (01:02:22):
For the same money.

Speaker 24 (01:02:24):
Yeah, you know, it's it's cut throats as well. I
don't know, I mean maybe someone might comment about that,
but you know, just my observation happy workplaces that I've
been going through for thirty odd years or so.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Where are you an Auckland Roger, No, I'm in christ Judge.
Oh yeah, I think you said that.

Speaker 8 (01:02:51):
I just read that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
I just read that article on the weekend by Liam
Dan about the Auckland housing market inflation adjusted down forty percent.
I'm thinking, gee, if you're actually in that market and
you want to move to Australia, that you're in a
bind because you've got to then take a you know,
then you've got to take a take sacrifice selling your
house at a loss too.

Speaker 23 (01:03:09):
Well.

Speaker 24 (01:03:10):
I mean just today I looked at my rates that
I have to play on my house today and now
they were eight hundred and something. They're nine hundred down
to over one thousand dollars, and.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
They'll keep and they'll keep going up. Did you read
that article in the press about the whole water pipes
in this country featuring Oh gee, that was a good article.

Speaker 24 (01:03:34):
No, I am, I haven't read that book.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Well, everyone needs to read that, because that's what's happened
is that you know, better water done well, it's going
to be expensive. It's going to be ten years. There's
some places like Kluther it's going to be like six
thousand dollars per house for rates than ten years.

Speaker 24 (01:03:54):
Yeah, that's ridiculous. You know, I run a truck. I
have all tracking business, and I bought my road mileage
today for five thousand k that cost me over fifteen
hundred dollars and then I've got the registration through it
to that and that's over five hundred dollars. I'm like,
four letters come from just through a suden. Stuff just

(01:04:16):
comes up, you know, and you go and put your
prices up, dude, and it's quite well.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
No, yeah, I will read that article about the water
rates because what's happening there is just unbelievable.

Speaker 24 (01:04:30):
Was that in the Herald?

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
I was in the press by a writer because Charlie.
Everyone should read that, Charlie Mitchell. It's a well researched
article about the the price of the water reforms and
what's going to happen in the next ten years because
they're all underfunded and the councils have never wanted to
do anything because they always get voted out if they
put the rates up, so they've just you know, they

(01:04:52):
reckon it's one hundred and five billion to get all
the water right.

Speaker 26 (01:04:57):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 24 (01:04:59):
You know I got fating last year I don't know
how many times through excessive water use, and I was like,
you're kidding me, bet becoming about it. Started checking the
water water gauge out the front just to see if
was operating right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
So yeah, okay, yeah, well that's a separate component too.
Is that that's separated, that's you've got separate water rates
in christ Jay.

Speaker 24 (01:05:23):
Well, yeah, but the thing is they're paying for it.
But I mean, how do you gauge you know, you're
going to let everyone's going to let their lawns just
turn to custom because too scared of putting any water
on them. I mean, I don't know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Know plan plant out your lawn.

Speaker 24 (01:05:45):
Yeah, well I know it's an old hack story. But
they had those basically billions of leaders of water to
go to the Chinese bottling outfits and they to go
be central for over seas.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
So the skin of things, that's just water coming down
the river though, wasn't it. That's just going out to sea?

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
I suppose, But what can't we be usement?

Speaker 12 (01:06:07):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 15 (01:06:08):
That's crazy.

Speaker 24 (01:06:09):
They were bothering it, showing it in China for two
or three dollars elite.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
That's not why your water is so expensive. Your water
is expensive because councils have underfunded the infrastructure for billions
of dollars and it's about you know, and now they've
got to finally actually realize that it's probably our most
expensive infrastructure all needs to be fixed. And it's a
bit of a wake up call. But it's an article

(01:06:37):
worth reading. It's entitled A mere confronts the ungodly price
of three Waters Reform. And this is a situation. He
was the mayor of Cluth of this guy, and yeah,
it's unbelievable the cost. But anyway, ten away from ten

(01:07:02):
smells and cars. About thirty odd years ago, I had
done the week shopping and bought a dog roll, which
umbing ons to me, had slipped down at the back
of the boot. Were weeks went by in the summer
in the car developed a terrible smell. About six weeks
there after, friends and family helped try to find out
what it was. We really we finally found the dog well.
It expanded to double that size and looked like it
was going to blow up any minute. The smell was

(01:07:25):
like nothing I ever smelled. Wowhittle twelve min names, Marcus
Good Evening, Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty move,
Marcus Welcome, Good Evening.

Speaker 10 (01:07:35):
Yep.

Speaker 13 (01:07:37):
Years ago we used to buy in bulk and we
spoke half a twenty liter of Jay's flood in the
back of a giant station wagon car. And that smell
was terrific to get out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
Does Jay's fluid a bad smell?

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
It is.

Speaker 13 (01:07:59):
It's a very very strong sort of disempeat them.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Yeah, but the car would have smelled, the car would
have smelled. Just infected it and clean. I guess that's
the that's the one positive from it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
Yeah, but it was just sort of a.

Speaker 13 (01:08:15):
Real strong eye watering smell here.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
How did you get rid of it?

Speaker 13 (01:08:22):
Or you didn't just just hit it and wide the
mets and yeah, just washed and washed and washed. The
smell was probably in that car for five years.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Yeah, it's a downfall of buying and bulk. Isn't it
a lot of stuff to smell? Spell? Sorry?

Speaker 13 (01:08:45):
Yeah, just bead black. The the bung went loose when
we were traveling back home and why it went?

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
What sort of car was it?

Speaker 13 (01:08:57):
MERV, A client, station wagon Triumph.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Here, nice to hear from you, Thank you, ight away
from ten people. Oh welcome, welcome, oh wa eight hundred
eighty ten eighty HDDLE twelve. We've talked about milk run
and what people are buying it, but yes, it'll mainly
be people at night shift. It's a very good explanation
that we're also talking about the worst thing to spill

(01:09:25):
in the car, clam chowder, amongst others. If you've got
breaking us to us know what that is? Anything happening
in the world. Oh wait eight hundred eighty ten eighty
nine nine two to text If you do want to
come through now, let's be hearing from you. There's something

(01:09:52):
else you want to talk about. Do get in touch.
There might be something different you want to mention. Also,
you are more than welcome and I'll keep my eyes
out for news around the world. Um, it'd be good
to hear from you. Eight hundred and eighty ten text

(01:10:14):
anything else to'el free to get them before the news anyway,
there's something else you want to mention? Also good it's
car spills and milk run yep, I'm interested about the

(01:10:35):
I'm interested about coke stains on the roof. I guess
that must be happy when someone shakes a bottle or
something and they open up. It's fizzed up, but it's
quite hard to get out. Could imagine that I'll be
something you want to mention as well tonight. But yeah,
that's kind of what we're on about. Interesting what chet

(01:10:57):
GPT said. Also bad stuff fermented for sauce Latex paint
used motor oil Giant side with melted eye. Yes, all
very good or adult fire ants mixed with a leader
of bless us, which is really think outside this square

(01:11:19):
because they'll sting you as well. Hi Craig, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:11:25):
Yeah, I changed sobject a little bit. Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:11:27):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Craig.

Speaker 16 (01:11:30):
There was a good article today by Brian Laland about
energy from New Zealand and they were talking about the
fact that we need to start thinking about small mogul
nuclear reactors and I just want to but what listeners
thought about that, Whether we've come down the road long
enough now that we're actually maybe in a position where
we would consider it now versus twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
I personally don't think it'll ever happened. But what's Brian
Laland's Is he some sort of advocate?

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
Is he?

Speaker 16 (01:12:01):
Yeah, he's an electricity expert. He's been a commentator for
quite a long time, familiar with them.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
But who's yeah, who's behind them? It is his own
consulting engineer, is he? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:12:13):
Yeah, he's got thinking about it. He has for a
long time. But yeah, we'll talk about renewables and how
the reality is if we even get to forget the
fifty percent we still need to back it up with
colon gas, and we have to start considering other other
forms of production, particularly if we want to start using
AI that we seem to want to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
But isn't the whole growth and renewables when you get
effective batteries and storage and that seems to be the
growth area now. And so when you've got the excess,
you can stall that and that's like using gravity and
raising weights and stuff, so you can later on generate
power from that. It's all about storing it. And that

(01:12:56):
seems to me once you get good at store and
once you've got the capacity, then you've got a lot
more riggle room in your system.

Speaker 24 (01:13:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:13:05):
Look, conception that's very attractive, but the problem is the
storage units don't store a lot about for long enough.
And also the big Allison in the room is what
are you going to pay for it? You know, like overseas,
you've got countries now where people's power prices are driving
industries out of their regions.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
You know, I don't think yeah, okay, but I mean
you can pump water, upholding, there's all sorts of things
you can do, and they seem to be making quite
bit of progress. I mean, I personally think that that
no one's ever going to think that nuclear is a
good idea apart from extra What was the article in?

(01:13:43):
Was in the heralds.

Speaker 13 (01:13:45):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (01:13:46):
I can't recall it. Actually, I haven't got in front
of me. I'm driving, but yeah, it was out today.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
But was it in like a newspaper or in like
some sort of website.

Speaker 16 (01:13:56):
Yeah, it was in one of the regular newspapers. It
might have been in the Advocate maybe, or that one
of the stuff publications where's.

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
The advocates of a of a branch of the hero.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
That I look into it? Thanks for that. If I
can send me that article, I wouldn't mind having a
look at that. It never goes away. But everything I
read about that I think, I mean, even the stuff
in the States have always thought it's problematic and expensive
to come up with Neon Yuk's I mean, I've always
thought that that. Yeah, but I just can't find this article.

(01:14:34):
I see he's on a lot of stuff on YouTube,
but I feel cold. Tell me where the article is.
I wouldn't mind hearing from you. Get in touch if
you want to talk here till twelve, As I say,
eight Aldred and eighty ten eighty talk about things you've
left in cars, and plenty of people have done I
think everyone's probably done it, Marcus. I want a pound
of white bait for a pub raffle headed under the
past your seat in the spring of the driver's car

(01:14:56):
so my mate would not steal it. Unfortunately, I got
drunk and forgot about it. Took three weeks for my
friend to find the rotten stinct. Cheers in. It's very
relatable story in I like that the Lake Onslow pump
steorage hydro was the ultimate answer here here get in
touch if you want to talk eighty today, Juliet's Marcus.

Speaker 18 (01:15:16):
Good evening, Hello, Marcus, I've got a smell for you.
We live in the country and I've just been driving
home from rehearsal. I'm doing Priscilla Creen of the Desert
and I got this whiff. The smell is still in
the car. And this is over a year later. We

(01:15:40):
live in the country and I left the window open
one night and apossum got into my car. Oh wow,
that sprayed the back seats, the front seats, it was
up the windows, on the ceiling, it was everywhere. The
smell was like you could not ever imagine what it
would be like. It was just diabolical. And it's still

(01:16:03):
every now and again you get that whiff. And talking
about smells, tonight, as I'm driving home, there was that wish.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Yeah, I had that once, an old car with some
power that I'd got and they must have squidded something
out of it or something that I wasn't aware of.
But boy, I tell you what. I tried everything, but
you just you get you always get that reminder.

Speaker 10 (01:16:24):
I know.

Speaker 18 (01:16:27):
No, I looked into getting insurance to take the seats
out and destroy them because I figured I'd never get
the smell out. But it took months and months.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
But you've still got the smell, haven't you, because you
had a whiff of it tonight.

Speaker 18 (01:16:41):
Yeah, every now and again you just get this slight whiff.
It's just awful.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
What are the I've seen the movie, but I know
there is a stage version. What are the songs? And
Priscilla I will survive a Gloria Gainer? Okay, sure, okay,
there are.

Speaker 18 (01:17:04):
Lots and lots. It's a real toe tap and it's
going well.

Speaker 17 (01:17:08):
Oh.

Speaker 18 (01:17:09):
Rehearsals are amazing. I'm really enjoying myself.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
I think I'm the oldest in the past, and when
and when's it happen?

Speaker 18 (01:17:18):
Mid September and this is just around twelfth okay.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
And this is this is like a South Island town,
is it?

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:17:26):
This is up in Auckland.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
It's oh cheap is oh? Okay?

Speaker 7 (01:17:30):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Really that's quite a big production, it is.

Speaker 18 (01:17:34):
Is it an backing vocalist?

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Is is it an international production?

Speaker 7 (01:17:39):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:17:40):
No, it's g and t Amichi with north Shore Music Theater.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
And there they've got a good good people in the leeds.

Speaker 18 (01:17:49):
Oh, amazing people in the leads. I tell you, I
laugh and I cry. It's just amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Okay. And what was the history of that? That was
the movie? And then the same people involved with the
movie did a stage show with some other crowd. Did it?

Speaker 18 (01:18:06):
No, another crowd did it?

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
I believe.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
So okay. Oh, because of.

Speaker 18 (01:18:10):
Course the guy that was the lead in the movie
just recently died.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
Oh yes, I saw that, Terrence Stamp d Yeah, that's
it was very good in that too. It seemed to
be a different kind of a role than he normally did.

Speaker 18 (01:18:22):
Oh totally.

Speaker 7 (01:18:24):
You know.

Speaker 18 (01:18:24):
I can remember watching the movie and when I saw
Terrence Stamp, I thought, how the heck can he ever
do something like that? But he was amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
I look at the other songs that are in it. Oh,
it's got it. Yeah, yeah, okay, it must be pretty
much water wall songs the whole thing, is it? What
is a music course?

Speaker 18 (01:18:41):
I suppose there's virtually wall to wall songs, but there's
a beautiful story runs through it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
So okay, well choose for that. Julian, thanks so all.
You said you're in the country. I thought it must
be a rural production and realized it was the civic
Thank you for that. This has been a long time
since it was nineteen eighty four, long long. I actually
went where was it filmed? Broken Hill? I went to
Brokenhole on the train and just because I could, but

(01:19:09):
didn't realize until I got through that's where they'd filmed
a lot of that. I had a long time is
two years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
Anyway, how are you going, Peter? What do you got?
I smells and cars? That's we're on about tonight. Keep
it going if you want to talk, and I've got texts.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
To text?

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Where's the texts?

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
Marcus? My wife left me from a best mate and
I was told to peel the rubbers back on the
car windows and pour milk down there. Apparently that's the
worst all over time and impossible to get rid of.
I didn't go through it, as I thought getting with
my wife was a bigger enough punishment in itself. Great
show as always. Well, if you're happen to get rid
of it while we're keen on retribution, don't think you've

(01:20:00):
resolved that, have you. I think there's a typo in that.
I think there's a type on that text number earning
in two three one. You're saying, I'm wondering why you're
news is now covering. I think you mean not covering.
So that's why I'm so confused about that text. Jay's
fluid is a very toxic drain clean and will always

(01:20:21):
remind me of the old long drops. But just like BlackBerry,
nippet's not easy to find anymore. Hey, get in touch.
My name is Marcus. Welcome Hitdle twelve tonight oh eight
hundred and eighty to eighty thirteen past ten. Anything else
you want to talk about? Jumping it smells in cars
and and we're talking about milk Ron that service where
you get groceries delivered to your house or some of

(01:20:42):
the other ones delivery Delivery Easy. I was curious to
know why so many people were at the dairy localdry
at midnight getting stuff. But I presume as people say,
it's night workers looking for a food or dinner. Because
you can't get it, you can't leave the site anyway.
That's what we are about tonight. If you want to
talk about that or something else, do get in touch.

(01:21:05):
I see the teams have been released for the second
last round of the NRL. Penrith are putting none of
their last starting team in because they realize they're not
going to make the top four, so it's all going
to come down to the elimination finals. Good on them,
smart moving it after the two heartbreaking losses, the two

(01:21:25):
last two last minute losses. They want to they want
to revive the season. Good on them for doing that.
So do get in touch. Marcus till twelve. Do you
want to be a part of it? Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty keep those emails coming through also if
you've got them, m Yeah, be my guest. As I said, Oh,

(01:21:53):
eight hundred eighty ten eighty fifteen past ten, Hello George,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:22:00):
Yeah, take your shir you're talking about smelling cars, yep.
When they are pairing four kids and thus two adults
in the vehicle for six six seats. So it did
the round of all the car dealers in the area
and they come up to you with their bigs, vow
can I help you? I go, yes please, I've like

(01:22:20):
a six seater station wagon with the bench seat in
the front. Well, you know, they they walk away. One
of the funniest things when the car dealers walk away,
because there's no such thing on the car lot. This
is the eighties, eighty six to eighty five. There's no

(01:22:43):
eighty six to seven, there's no wagons. They had a
big seat in the front.

Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 21 (01:22:50):
It used to be holdings and used to have the
Ford Falcons yep. And they all came out now with
two in the front with the fancy seats and they
get stick in the middle. And so I wanted a
column change and the bench seat in the front.

Speaker 6 (01:23:04):
Ye, I've got a call from.

Speaker 21 (01:23:07):
Where's one up here for sale?

Speaker 4 (01:23:09):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:23:09):
Cool?

Speaker 21 (01:23:10):
I was an awkward area. I'll come up and have
a look. And it was the local undertaker, which he
had used for transporting bodies.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
Yeah, I don't know how I don't know how the
story is going to go. Is it groom?

Speaker 7 (01:23:28):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:23:28):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:23:29):
Not Groom was quite humorous. So anyway he had put
the back seat, got rid of all the stuff that
he had used, and so it was a hearse. But
there was also a body transporter, so they would use
it for if they went to someone's home to pick
a body up and take it there. To take it
to there, you know, they're they're undertake outfit to look

(01:23:49):
after and sort it out.

Speaker 11 (01:23:51):
So it was a bit of both.

Speaker 21 (01:23:52):
It wasn't the actual hearse as such, or though they
used it for him, but it was a really nice wagon.
It was a Falcon station wagon with a three point
eight motor and it you know, and a column change
so they could have people sitting in the front and
been seat in the front and have been seating the pack.

Speaker 13 (01:24:09):
It was cool.

Speaker 11 (01:24:10):
So I bought this thing.

Speaker 21 (01:24:12):
The only problem was for the year and a half
it smells so melde hide.

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
I can imagine, I can imagine.

Speaker 21 (01:24:20):
You just couldn't get rid of it. The kids wanted
to know what the smell was. I said it was
just perfume, and they looked at me and smiled. Okay,
my wife wasn't sure if she actually knew what it was.

Speaker 16 (01:24:30):
But I knew what it was.

Speaker 21 (01:24:31):
It was a precentage in the bodies.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
I couldn't do that, George.

Speaker 21 (01:24:37):
It was a figerous wagon, I'll tell you.

Speaker 18 (01:24:40):
I couldn't.

Speaker 21 (01:24:41):
Yeah, it was a great traveler all that. But yeah,
we just took his herse, you know. And it was great,
great wagon.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
Did it go the smell?

Speaker 21 (01:24:51):
Oh? After about three years you lose the windows down
in summer and hope for the best of it was
obreak And I don't know. It must have been in
the carpet and the ceiling lining.

Speaker 11 (01:25:02):
You know, and the doors.

Speaker 21 (01:25:05):
In the seats, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:25:07):
But it was great. It was a great wagon.

Speaker 21 (01:25:09):
But I always I always smiled, I'm driving in this.

Speaker 4 (01:25:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
Did you sell it after a while?

Speaker 10 (01:25:17):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:25:17):
Yeah, I sold At the end. We end up buying
a Toyota Custom wagon.

Speaker 3 (01:25:21):
Didn't tell the people that you sold it to what
it was.

Speaker 21 (01:25:24):
I just traded it, didn't Yeah, best way to get
rid of a car you traded in.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
I've often wondered about that. With the smell of formaldehyde. Okay, yes,
it's a good story, George, Thank you for that. Oh wait,
the text Marcus still twelve, get in touch if you
want to. Marcus and ozone generators used by some car
dealers to remove smoking the beds smelled some cars. Cheer Ray,
cheers Ray. I used to I guess a touch, ye,

(01:25:52):
I guess that would make sense for that one, Hi, Marcus.
In the old days, it used to be a flounder
in the hub cap of the old eh or if
j Holden's great trick for the uninitiated, and flounder we're free. Flounder,
We're free, and your show cheers. Thank you. They're typo,
not mine. So anything else you want to mention, don't

(01:26:14):
feel free. We are talking the worst spills in cars.
Where we're going tonight, long way at last, there's something
different you want to mention. Great. I can tell you
some other stuff too. By the way, Tim's from twelve.

(01:26:37):
Next match for the All Blacks? Are we over them yet? Saturday,
sixth September, not the When's Father's Day? By the way,
I like to milk that and the black ferns. That's
what they called, isn't it. They played Japan one a Monday,
one September this day, nineteen fifty five of the first

(01:27:01):
tennis match to be telecast in color occurred, brilliant. Now anyway,
get in touch, mark still twelve. Anything else you want
to talk about?

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
Great?

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
So, yes, a lot of other stuff. I think that's
screaming talk about. By the way, that's the other thing
that's right. There was one thing that happened. What's happening
is that the government is going to change it so
your license can be a virtual thing you just have

(01:27:41):
on your phone, so you don't have to care around
on your wallet. If the smoky is pull you over
and say can I see your license please, you head
out your phone and I guess it'll just be an
app and that will be there be easier for them
to read in the night time because it'll be back illuminated,
won't it. So anyone got a problem with that. It
won't be compulsory. You can still use cash, you can

(01:28:01):
still have a landline, and you can still have a
physical license. But I say, when you get freaked out
by that, but I know some of you get freaked
out by change is changed good normally? Umm, yes, So

(01:28:22):
that's what we are talking about tonight. Spills and cars
and anything else. It's kind of two days in a
row with that topic because you say, we're talking about
water and cars. Oh, mainly we're talking about engines in
the back they weren't we a great topic? Try to
explain that to my child this morning, about engines in
the back of cars. The whit't me of the road
cars on the road. To point that out. You don't

(01:28:45):
see many volkswagons these days, do you, not? Meaning at all?
They're finally kind of rusted out, I guess, apart from
when they have them. And those car people love those
groups when they all get together, don't they. Hello, John,
this is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:28:59):
Yeah, Hi, about my license thing I've got fifteen twenty
years ago, I got charge or the dangerous driving and
I don't have my license on me and they gave
me a fifty five. I took it to the court,
the High Court, and I said, well, look, I don't

(01:29:19):
have to carry my license on you at all. It's
like I said that, basically you have to carry your
license on you all the time. Basically it's like the
Jews having the mark of hit on you. So I
don't live in Nazi Germany. I live in New Zealand,
and I won.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Why were you driving dangerously?

Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
Well, apparently they reckon I was and I won that
case as well because I wasn't driving dangerously Okay, well
carelessly or whatever it was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
How did you win the careless driving case?

Speaker 6 (01:29:56):
Because they couldn't say that I was careless? What do
you call careless?

Speaker 11 (01:30:01):
How do you?

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
I want to know that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
I mean, you got to say, I want to know
the circumstances of the case.

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
Wouldn't at a statue and statue and St. John and
Wellington and the statutes. It's it's got to come up
with a definition of the word careless. It doesn't have
that in the statute. So then it goes to the
dictionary and the word careless doesn't necessarily is mean what
a careless things? It just gives you an idea.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
Okay, I don't think that makes s I don't know
that's bringing true. John, you're telling the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:30:30):
No, that is true. No, that is true because I
was there, I won the case.

Speaker 12 (01:30:36):
I did it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
Have you got I wonder if you have you got
proof you won the case?

Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
Well, I have to go to the district court, there,
wouldn't I and get a copy of the judgment. That'll
take what twenty eight days okay, okay? Or twenty working days.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Are you happy to carry your license on your phone?

Speaker 14 (01:30:54):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:30:56):
I don't need to. Why don't need to carry anthing
on me?

Speaker 11 (01:30:59):
Okay, okay?

Speaker 6 (01:31:01):
I just carry my phone, or I carry whatever I want,
my car keys or whatever. I don't have the government
telling me I have to carry.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
What are you afraid of? John Noice hung up, afraid
of a shadow? Getting touch hit on twelve, Helen Marcus,
Good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:31:16):
It's hello, interesting subjects, having a laugh about the landers,
hub caps, et cetera. It's just life, isn't it. Yes,
I'm talking a bit water worries and with a costure.
If I lived in the city, your own mown house,
I'd have a big green water tank saving it off

(01:31:37):
the roof and gravity feed through your house, which I
did have at the Stone Cottage. I lived on a
thousand liter tank that lasted me all year. It's just
careful with water.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
I think it's compulsory now in some areas when you're
building a house, you've got to put You've got to
put tanks into the beside the house for backup water.

Speaker 19 (01:31:58):
Oh.

Speaker 26 (01:31:58):
I think it's a wonderful idea. I definitely have they're
not that deer, and they are nice olivey green color
to these big water tanks. There absolutely the answer. I
definitely have my own water tank because I'm used to
living like that. And the other thing was you mentioned

(01:32:19):
to beout? I thinks black and white. I can recall
somebody telling me a few years ago about a grandfather
showing his grandchild photos of the old days because they
were in black and white, and the child asked, was
everything in black and white?

Speaker 11 (01:32:34):
Then?

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Very good? Thanks Hellen. Nice to talk. Monoch Marcus, welcome sound.

Speaker 15 (01:32:39):
By John had something smell in his guarden't he?

Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:32:42):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
Yeah, Well flip, well, I don't know about that.

Speaker 15 (01:32:48):
That's the spelling thing, but it's probably the smallest thing
that makes the most spells, like a gracious league you
went so bad and you know it's it's for such
a small thing.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
That's got the smell to pound ratio. That would kind
of top it, wouldn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
I'd give it.

Speaker 15 (01:33:03):
Definitely top five.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:33:06):
And also I don't know if you've ever had it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
But if you get into the.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
Yes, terrible yeah, items seemed to dry out it. But yeah,
I haven't really spent much time in the car today,
but it seemed to be not a problem. Quite a
sunny day today, so they've got a bit of sun.
So yeah, I'll report back murdop. But thanks for asking.
Keep your calls coming through, people ambling towards the headlines

(01:33:32):
and welcome to be a part of the show if
you want to come through, Marcus till twelve. Spells and
cars that's what we're on about tonight, and milk run
and dairy delivery, so that's something you could talk about
also too. But I'm amazed how busy they are. But
of course it's people on shift work. You got the

(01:33:55):
canting open at midnight. Have you you repeat something for work?
If you're in rush, you have nothing to eat, so yes,
there's that as well. So yes, if you want to
be a part of the show, hitd on midnight TIMS
along from twelve, so do get in touch. Oh eight
hundred and eighty to eighty. Gosh, spring's not far away.

(01:34:17):
He's gone quite quickly. It'll slowly have the last three months.
It's always my theory and I'm sticking with it, Evan Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:34:23):
Welcome, good evening, evening.

Speaker 7 (01:34:26):
Even Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:34:28):
So when I was a bit younger that they threatened
one hundred and fifty dollar fine, so I thought it
was easier just to carry it at all times.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Do they still find they still fine you for not
having one?

Speaker 8 (01:34:40):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's still one hundred and fifty.
Yellow hours are up here all morning up the river
by the carpiery.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
Really, yeah, chasing, the chasing, the sting raise.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:34:54):
Seagulls are all having a feed too on what I'm
not sure what. They must be splitting out stuff or something.

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
Yeah, I no know what's happening there, big pot up here?

Speaker 8 (01:35:07):
How many A couple of missing fins off? A few
of them too?

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
A really that propellers must be A yeah, it look
like it. A. Oh, that's good for the whale spots
because I can tell one from the other with the marks, can't.
They will see how far they go.

Speaker 8 (01:35:22):
You one had a big bend on one thin. I
think that's pretty familiar, that one.

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
Are you starting to recognize them? Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 8 (01:35:33):
You get to know what's going on with the main Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
How many to say they were?

Speaker 9 (01:35:38):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:35:38):
I think there was about ten or fifteen today up
here all morning on the top of the tide though,
just feeding on the mudflat.

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
Say it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
Yeah, it was, it was.

Speaker 8 (01:35:49):
It was a bloody good show.

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
Actually this morning, anything else from you?

Speaker 8 (01:35:55):
Actually, I was wondering why they put such a big
power plant on the wharf here we see, when we've
only got one electric theory and the theories don't actually
sit at.

Speaker 3 (01:36:06):
The wharf here, where's the wholf?

Speaker 8 (01:36:09):
So they built a new wharf next to the car piery.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
He took he took it Donald Bryce Road, half Moon Bay. Oh,
I see where you are, ye, I don't know what
that would be.

Speaker 8 (01:36:20):
So where the way the car period leaves from. So
they've built a massive power plank for all these electric
ferries we haven't got and and the ferries don't actually
sit at this end. They all sit at the town end.

Speaker 26 (01:36:31):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Must just be contingency for the future. Not a bad
thing to have. Yeah, yeah, you had to stay there
for as long as you like.

Speaker 8 (01:36:44):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:46):
What I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
Who enforces Marinas? Pardon who enforces Marinas? And how long
you can stay.

Speaker 8 (01:36:56):
I'm not on the marine, I'm gone, just on the moor.
I'm on anchor.

Speaker 20 (01:36:59):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Yeah, so that's there's no one enforces.

Speaker 17 (01:37:03):
That, right, well, the half mass gave me, but a
if it wit Hickey about it? What do you say
something about staying more than twelve days on anchor? He
actually find me, did he?

Speaker 14 (01:37:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
I hard, it's hard.

Speaker 8 (01:37:22):
Billions of dollars for the country and export earning snap
along lineing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
A Harbard mast his honorary positions.

Speaker 8 (01:37:32):
No, no, they get paid the big bucks. Actually, there's
a lot of there's gonna be a lot of expense
going on here shortly. The mount of rotten boats up here, Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
What are they just abandoned or what's happened with them?

Speaker 23 (01:37:48):
Well?

Speaker 8 (01:37:48):
I don't know if they're abandoned. But people get old
and there's no younger generation coming through, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:37:53):
It's right.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
I can't do anything with them. No one wants them exactly. Okay,
nice to talk, given, thanks for that. There we go
eleven part. Yes, it's only eleven eleven. I've been talking
even for longer than that. What do you want to
talk about? People for the final hour? Are terrible things
to have left in cars that go rotten. Could someone

(01:38:15):
please explain how come we're allowed to keep old expired
passports but not old using drivers' licenses? Where's mine expire?
I never look at that. Who my wallet is actually,
must have chucked it on the floor as I came in, Ah, Marcus.

(01:38:39):
Why not take a snapshot of your license and carry
on your phone? Otherwise I can quote my driver's license
digits to police and others, as I've memorized them in
my passport. That's from Mac. Well, they're saying in the future,
we'll just get an electronic license on your phone. That's
the breaking news. Someone says, I agree with John's sentiment
about licenses. Why do we need to carry them? The
police look you up anyway, so doline seems unnecessary nowadays.

(01:39:01):
If they want to check they can also That would
prevent fraud, because no license to I put raw meat
on the back seat of a car, on a black seat,
it must have leaked blood and smelled bad for weeks.
That descrubed the seat to get rid of the putrid smell.
Leaving things in cars. That's one of the discussions for tonight,

(01:39:24):
One of many and licenses and milk crin that delivery service.
What do you find it useful for the are the
things we've talked about tonight. You've been quite good with
your adherence to the topics.

Speaker 6 (01:39:39):
I liked that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
Also talked about the disaster on that oil rig in
the eighties, that they've made the TV movie about what
a tragedy that was. So I don't know if anyone's
got any memories of that. Let's say the TV show
is very, very good. It's just screen in the UK.
I'm sure it will screen here as well. Piper Alpha,

(01:40:04):
I'm pretty sure I've got that rid. I would to
get that wrong, you, Piper Alpha. Most people on it
died there turn twenty sixty to sixty one survived, so
that's the situation there. Yes, and a good review from
John of the New Cheesecake at KFC said it was

(01:40:26):
very good. Have kfs every six weeks. Well that that's
about right to me anyway. Hello people, good emails today,
people ask about my hobby career, broadcasting. Berry. You'll do.

(01:40:51):
Welcome Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 7 (01:40:53):
Here you go, Marcus good Berry. You're talking about things
riding in chats.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Yes, yes, is what we are talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:41:00):
Funny enough, many many years ago, when I was a
young fella, I played hockey and we all played hockey
and we went to Karori from I lived in uther
halt and we went out to Carori park Way out
in the back end new Wellington. And then they had
a mate out there at a butcher's shop, so he

(01:41:21):
played in our team as well. So we went to
his place and had a few ales. Then he said,
I've got twenty kilos of sausages and my freezer. I
can't sell them because I've got to put the preserved.
And would you like him? He said, you just got
to keep him in your freezer. He said, nothing wrong
with him, just haven't got the preservative. So I said,
oh yes, so he doesn't from in the boot had
a hold in Kingswood and why we went home and

(01:41:44):
then I never drove it during the week because I
had a vent. And then the following Saturday, my wife says, Barry,
I think we've got a dead body in the boot. Well,
Mom and me, she went't far wrong. There were crawling
all over the place, and I think, Mom, so that
was a job that she wouldn't do. Clint clean enough. Wow, Yeah, anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:42:12):
I wanted with the maggots.

Speaker 7 (01:42:14):
Oh yeah, the size of slide, the bumblebees.

Speaker 3 (01:42:18):
That's grummy. Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:42:20):
The other thing I remember a few weeks ago, you
talked about country pubs and pubs burning down. Yes, And
I rang up and said, we've been standing on the
back tiers of my girlfriend's hair from white Packerrea, watching
the fire and white power. Yes, well, that girl's house tears,

(01:42:43):
I was standing on. She has been my wife for
sixty years to the two days time.

Speaker 3 (01:42:50):
She's what?

Speaker 7 (01:42:50):
Sorry, we were standing, I said, we were standing on
my girlfriend's at my girlfriend's house on the terrace at
the back, watching the fire. That girlfriend has been my
wife for sixty years and two days time.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Oh okay, So she wasn't your girlfriend. She was your wife.

Speaker 7 (01:43:06):
She wasn't then girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
That was almost it was over sixty years ago. You
would that that happened.

Speaker 7 (01:43:13):
It was, yeah, but we were engaged for a while
and then.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
That's a pretty amazing achievement.

Speaker 7 (01:43:22):
Well you're not wrong about that part.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
You got anything planning for this? You got anything planned
for the sixtieth Berry?

Speaker 7 (01:43:28):
Oh yeah, And we can't do it till Saturday. Here,
we have got a whole lot of friends coming to
the coffee club in Napier.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Oh good.

Speaker 7 (01:43:39):
And she's actually had a stroke and but she's not
too bad. But she goes to a stroke reheab thing. Yes,
and there's a bit of twenty of them minute. So
I talked to the two ladies that running and we're
having a surprise for her. I'm shedding the Wholey outfit Smoko,
and they're organizing her a surprise arrival for her.

Speaker 3 (01:44:03):
And is she barely affected by the stroke? Berry?

Speaker 7 (01:44:06):
Ah?

Speaker 11 (01:44:07):
Not.

Speaker 7 (01:44:09):
Just to look at her, you can't really tell. But
the amount of medication they've put her on, she's put
on a heap of weight, which doesn't help her help
her life very much.

Speaker 3 (01:44:18):
Has she got speech and mobility?

Speaker 7 (01:44:21):
Yeah, she's got Yeah, she's got that. Yeah. Yeah, I hapened.
I've been looking after since twenty twenty thirtieth of January
twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
I it was five years ago to strike.

Speaker 7 (01:44:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
Well, how are you going with that? How you're going?

Speaker 4 (01:44:41):
All right?

Speaker 7 (01:44:43):
Yeah? Here we manage I'm in a bit of a
problem at the moment. I went there to get eye
operation and I come away blind.

Speaker 4 (01:44:50):
In one eye.

Speaker 3 (01:44:51):
Okay? Is that permanent?

Speaker 7 (01:44:54):
Well? I hope not. But they're they're fixing it slowly.
Take a long time to get it right again.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Are you're driving? No, I'm not allowed to because of
the eye.

Speaker 7 (01:45:06):
Yeah. Yeah, this is a bit of a pain in
the butt.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
That makes it tough.

Speaker 7 (01:45:13):
Well, she can't drive.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
Either, clearly, No, I wouldn't thought so.

Speaker 7 (01:45:16):
Yeah, but I've got a great granddaughter here in APF,
so she's helping us out.

Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
So what's the anniversaries on Thursday?

Speaker 9 (01:45:26):
Is it?

Speaker 11 (01:45:26):
Did you say?

Speaker 7 (01:45:27):
Yeah? Twenty eight?

Speaker 3 (01:45:29):
And when when's the surprise on that day? Well, that's good.

Speaker 7 (01:45:35):
That actually worked out that our anniversary was on the day.
She goes to her thing, Perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
Strike Club or something, don't they Is that what they
call it?

Speaker 7 (01:45:45):
Yeah? Oh, it's it's run by an outfit called in
Alive and which is a Presbyterian services thing. Yes, and
it's really very good. They are great people that run it.
They do a marblous job, and she really enjoys going
to it. So I thought, well, just because they're wedding anniverse,
you're not going to really screw it up.

Speaker 3 (01:46:05):
That's kind thing. And how many is shouting for twenty people?

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:46:09):
It would be at twenty four, thank you, oh god,
savories and I would have been huge raspberry cake thing.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
Yeap, what's that? What's the huge thing? Is it like
a four leader?

Speaker 7 (01:46:22):
No, it's a cake. It's a big slab of cake.

Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
Then Oh, I thought you said a raspberry coke. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
raspberry cake.

Speaker 7 (01:46:30):
Yeah, you buy them in a slab? Did most of
the cafes boy them and cut them up?

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
Oh, I don't sell the pieces in the old cabinet treats.

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
Oh, good luck with that. Bury. Let's know how that
goes for you. We're good luck with that. Twenty past eleven.
If you want to talk Marcus years ago, want to
meet Raffel put in the boot of my car without
telling me. Oh, they put in the car without telling me,
started getting flies inside the car. Finally found unbelievable putrid
maggots and all cleaned it. Sold the car just back
from Mum and me has shown went and fantastic. I
must see things in cars, smells the cars. Thank you

(01:47:04):
Nia for your text. I agree, well done you. But yes,
if you want to talk on air, if there's something
different you want to I don't think there's going to
be a great scandal. The fact that you can carry
your license on your phone now, I think it's a
for every good thing. I was just kind of curious
to know what you find are. I thought that it

(01:47:27):
was more relaxed about not having your license on you.
But you might want to talk about that also, But
get in touch if you want to be a part
of it. There's anything else you want to mention, I
am here for you for that. You might want to
mention the all blacks. Everything's to be focusing on the
wingers and their inability to catch balls or their fear

(01:47:51):
of catching balls, which is pretty interesting. I don't know
how you teach that. It's probably terrifying. I just think
I think probably the good thing is we're not blaming
the ref But I think the other thing that's probably

(01:48:16):
weird is that some people have gone and say the
rules need to be changed. So we lose a match
and now we need to change the rules. The other
thing that I thought was quite interesting what I did
today is I looked up player numbers World Rugby player numbers,

(01:48:36):
and I thought that gave you quite an interesting comparison
between New Zealand and Argentina. I'll just bring those figures
up so I can quote them correctly, and this is
what it says. I got the right list. Sorry about that, No,

(01:49:05):
I can't find that right list. I think they're both countries.
I'll try and find it again. Oh World Rugby. No,
I've clicked on the wrong thing. Sorry, just be with
me for sick people.

Speaker 10 (01:49:16):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
I think the player numbers between both countries are almost identical,
although there would be less infrastructure and Argentina because it's
still a new game. I'll just bring up this. I'm
just bringing up this data now. Oh no, I've found
that before and now I can't see it. Oh well,

(01:49:46):
I had the all the stats played. Now I should
have printed them out and brought them with me. Oh yes,
here we go. No, I've lost it. Sorry about that.
Fanning free amateurs, amateurisiant amateurists. Now I came into the
amateur amateur wish Who so is I find this? Jump

(01:50:07):
in if you want to talk on air tonight. I
now I found it. It's just a country that's too small.

Speaker 4 (01:50:16):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:50:18):
I've got it now, player numbers Argentina one hundred and
sixty thousand. They will find where New Zealand is not
going well at all. This, by the way, now I
can't get Oh, yes, here we go, New Zealand one

(01:50:43):
hundred and fifty six thousand. Yeah, that's what I thought.
So it's about the same player numbers. I thought that
shows that probably they should be our equals. So I
felt better about once I saw that. Anyway, need you
texted your calls? People, I'm here till twelve. My name
is Marcus. Welcome. Good evening. So you want to talk
about that or anything else. It's be hearing from you.
Oh gip, it's almost half past eleven, almost home time.

(01:51:04):
I don't know what else you want to talk about
in the final half hour, but it would be good
to hear from you tonight. Some of the other stories
are going around the world I can tell you about.
What can I tell you about? Let me think what's
vaguely interesting for you. Let me have a bit of

(01:51:28):
a think. No, I can't find much to tell you about. People.
You might need to tell me the stories, oh stings
bands turned on them looking for royalties, been a bit
miserable with the money. So there's that. Let me think

(01:51:48):
of anything else of any interest for you people. Jd.
Vance has been schooled on history. He's claimed that World
War II ended with negotiations, so he's been told in
no uncertain terms that it were. World War two ended

(01:52:09):
with the surrender, well, the death of Hitler and the
surrender of Germany and Japan the unconditional surrender. So he's
been widely vilified for his ignorance about the war. That
was a strange thing for him to say. And I
haven't got much else I can tell you about. So

(01:52:32):
if you want to be on air, good, So jump
in if you want to talk, because I've run out
of things to say clearly tonight. Well I can tell
you that I've had the women's rug beyond throughout the
Shaman join that greatly. I think that's going to be
a great, great competition that one. I presume it will

(01:52:53):
be a New Zealand England final, I hope, so that
would be fantastic. It's a repeat of the extremely close
one those years ago, So yeah, that's what I'm hoping for.
I presume the draw works that way. It can be that.
But also I've got if the new countries come through
and do well on that one. So yeah, I'm looking
forward to watching that. I watched a couple of games live,
probably the Semis in the final, I would think. So, yes,

(01:53:15):
everyone's worried about Trump's hand, whether he's bruising on his
hand and is swelling off his legs. Someone says his
hands look like the same as the queen's two days
before she died, which I thought was pretty telling. But yes,
getting tattooed on talk before the end of the show.

(01:53:36):
My name is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:53:38):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
If you got something else you want to talk about, God,
I don't know what it is yet, but I'm here
for it before the end of the show, So jump in.
Oh we're away again.

Speaker 2 (01:53:49):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
We've got some people. That's good. Umh N nine two
text you want to be a part of it. I've
just seen some photos of the aurora. Maybe the aurora
is happening tonight, is it? Someone's posted some photos from
five hour I wouldn't have been dark for or maybe
it was. I'll get chicken after work in Neil. This

(01:54:15):
is this is Marcus. Welcome you on hang. I just
put my I just put my headphones on here there Hello,
behind Neil, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:54:27):
Hello, they're Marx. I'm just getting told off from your wife. Yes, Marcus,
that you invited us to talk about anything. So I'll
try and be brief. Not easy, exam old. I'm very
interested in polar bears and their fate. They're in danger.
Of extinction because of climate change. Now, am I onto

(01:54:49):
something Marcus? Or is there a very good reason that
it's not practical? The South Pole, Marcus is full of game.
It doesn't suffer from the climate change. Couldn't couldn't we
start a colony there and save the species?

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
Is it your idea?

Speaker 6 (01:55:13):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 3 (01:55:16):
What do they eat?

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
Seals, penguins, yesh.

Speaker 13 (01:55:25):
Walrus?

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Is when they get all of them?

Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
They normally they normally swim swim under the ice, don't
they Well.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
They can do on occasions, but they hunt on top
of the ice. I mean they're hunters. I've watched quite
I mean, I'm an old man, time on my hands,
and I'm very interested in them and very distressed that
they're they're going to become extinct because of climate change.

(01:55:54):
And I've been thinking, could we start a colony on
the South Pole?

Speaker 4 (01:55:59):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:55:59):
There's tons of game. Yeah, it's dumb, my dea.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
I guess they devastate the penguins and the seals because
they're not used to being predated on by polar bears.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
Yeah, but there's millions of them.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
Well, I think the penguins themselves have actually been down
in numbers. I don't know if that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
Yes, but you know, with climate change, I think we
ought to be thinking in terms of relocating species.

Speaker 3 (01:56:42):
What else would you relocate?

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
Oh now, then let me think. I can't think offhand,
but yeah, I mean smart from tigers for example. You know,
their land area is so much reduced, and they are
the smallest of the tiger species and the critically endangered,

(01:57:08):
and they'll be gone soon.

Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
Where would you put them?

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
Well, I don't know if it's it's pulling a long bow,
but Vietnam they've got big forested areas, have they?

Speaker 26 (01:57:23):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:57:23):
Hell I yeah, yeah, yeah, my brother sorry, you go.
My brother shaved in the arm in britisham in Malaire
during the war in Malay and he stood guard, did
his guard duty and in the morning there were tiger

(01:57:44):
pug marks within two feet of him.

Speaker 3 (01:57:46):
Well, well, yeah, I go throw it open. Neill think
it's a good suggestion I appreciate. At thirteen. At twelve,
Mic is driving along in the Motoro and authway. Husband,
what date the NIXT registration was due, pulled out the
sticker which slipped down the window, and the engines somehow
had to put you one for forteen dollars husbands had

(01:58:09):
just I looked through the window. Next time. Cheers Jude,
Thank you Jude. Good evening, Dave. This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:58:16):
Yeah, hi Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:58:17):
Iareinga a week or so ago regarding our family clock
in the cargo.

Speaker 27 (01:58:24):
Yes, anyway, this time I've been listening for a couple
of mouths and I've heard you talk about the fire
on the oil rig in the North Sea. Yes, and
I've heard nobody ring about it. Yes, that was It
was a key with guy a schoolmate of mine. Actually
that made a rescue. He was a helicopter pilot taking

(01:58:47):
people and and supplies to the roots. He was based
at Aberdeen. Well when that fire happened, he made a
daring rescue and I think it was nine guys that
he saved of that rig that was on fire and
got them back to the Aberdeen really and yeah, Bruce
Walton was his name. We were in we were schooled

(01:59:10):
together at Openaki and in the surf club together. So
we pulled a few people out of sea over our time.

Speaker 3 (01:59:17):
Were there a number of choppers going back and he
was risking them off the top of the.

Speaker 25 (01:59:21):
Rig, was he No, he was, well, he was fueled
up and ready to go. Apparently he was told not to,
but he made the trip out to the rig anyway,
and I think it was nine guys that he saved,
and the government or the people were so so pleased
with his efforts. Several years later they gave him a

(01:59:43):
castle in Scotland and then Ferrewy. As far as I know,
he's still there. He hasn't been back to New Zealand,
but he'd be the same age as eighty six and
he's yeah, he's he's still up in Scotland. I just
nobody mentioned it.

Speaker 21 (02:00:05):
That was what he we got.

Speaker 27 (02:00:07):
Bruce Morton, Okay, I've never heard that.

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
I've never heard that story. It's a good one.

Speaker 25 (02:00:14):
Yeah, well it was available at the time, and I think.

Speaker 4 (02:00:18):
Like nineteen eighty eight, it was eighty eight.

Speaker 25 (02:00:22):
Yeah, he when we were when we left store and
we went to do our trades. He ended up going
to England and he joined the RA and did his
time at the RAH and then he went on after
that to do a helicopter work and years later he
ended up in Aberdeen flying out to the rigs with

(02:00:44):
the personnel and stores and stuff.

Speaker 21 (02:00:47):
Yes, so that's.

Speaker 3 (02:00:50):
I can't believe how many people worked on those rigs
to have so many die that mean's amazing, Yeah, that
there's like two fifty people on them.

Speaker 25 (02:01:00):
Yes, there was a lot of a lot of rigs
out there. Yeah, more than there is of hoping anyway.

Speaker 3 (02:01:09):
I don't know what's change now to help you survive
a few hour and something like that seems pretty grim.

Speaker 25 (02:01:15):
Wells they had no helicopleics with winch gear because a
lot of guys jumped off into the sea, of course, yes,
but they didn't. They all the healthy complice nothing had
winching gear on them because they all aided on the
rig And that's all I did was service the rigs.
But they weren't equipped with lifting gear to get the

(02:01:37):
ones out of the sea.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
How far off? How far off Scotland was it?

Speaker 7 (02:01:41):
Do you know?

Speaker 10 (02:01:43):
No?

Speaker 25 (02:01:43):
I don't now, I've been up there. I've been to Abytheen.
He wasn't there when I went there to see him
twenty years ago. I went to Scotland and I had
a campaign and drove around Scotland and engoln But he
was in the States at the time, teaching flying seven
forty seven. He was on a contract in the States. Yeah,

(02:02:07):
and it happened to be the year that I was
happy there in Scotland. Unfortunately I have to look.

Speaker 3 (02:02:14):
I can't findy details about it just looking now, but
no doubt that happens with things that are old, aren't
they You know you can't see them because they're may
be not uplut lifted to the internet.

Speaker 25 (02:02:24):
Yeah, there will be something about it in that film
that you're talking about that.

Speaker 3 (02:03:48):
Something said? Oh yeah, that might be it signing. How
ridiculous they've we logged me out? Oh yes, now pizza,
that's what they're saying. Or because of Popeyes fast food
restaurants posted Oh yeah, I think each stoor has dropped
its earnings. Same store sales fell three point one percent.

(02:04:08):
It's because of Popeyes and they're growing quick. There's one

signed up. That went up over the weekend. They've spent

it's a complicated start. So that's what's happening there. I
don't know why they've started v cargo with Popeyes, but

late unless it's a late breaking one. No text about
polar bears. And that might be what happens. But the
better thing would be the stop climate change. I would
think that would be the better solution, wouldn't it. That'd
be my take on that one. Find a way to

(02:05:27):
reverse it. And I've talked again todrow night. People. Thanks
