Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Ato seven. Good evening and welcome on him as Marcus
hit til midnight tonight. Interesting in those comments about Steve Smith,
h why would people stop giving him ay? He blatantly cheated?
Why would you stop gosh and support your reputation is

(00:33):
anything when it's off the wall. People never forget that
to why you don't do it? There's two things pilled
a badly. One was bowling around the other one was
rub the order the team to rub the ball with sandpaper. Anyway,
I want to shame that that text test was so quick,
wasn't it. I want a shame, boy or boy The
British team are getting at coppying at beg time. I
read Jeffrey Boycott's opinion piece. But yeah, jeep at screepers.

(00:59):
Let's hope the Boxing Day and the New Year's Day
test to whatever they are dead rubbers, because that would
be devastating if the ASSI is going to those three up. Anyway,
I just have to turn on the TV on Saturday
and when the collapse happened, it was a remarkable half
an hour of cricket I couldn't quite believe it anyway. Yeah,

(01:20):
it's exciting, and the Barmiami are good. Is it amazing
that you know the trumpet or the trombone whatever? And
I think it might be a trumpet? What was a
bugle small enough to smuggle into the pitch? But g
it's good. G it's good anyway, So it's good to
see the Barmiami there aloud. Force. How are you going
people welcome on him? As markets hid at midnight? Don't
know how it's good with you? Are a few things

(01:41):
around tonight? I'll buy the way. I gotta start with
two comments. Firstly, I don't know if you've noticed, and
I don't know if it's around the country, but I
am not the world's greatest observer of nature. However, boy
oh boy, are we having a flex season down here?

(02:03):
And the shoots what do you call those shoots that
come out of the flat, the ones that kind of
have all the seed pods on, They have shooted out
like I've never seen before. I don't know what that's about,
but I know that sometimes people say that as a
sign of a good summer. Am I right with what?
That's what it's like. So if you know anything about that,

(02:24):
but they are down south. They are unbelievable. I don't
quite know what it is. It's the flower stalks that
have come out, and they are just like I've knew,
and I spend a lot of time. I spent a
lot of time around flex because I planted a lot
of it and I divide a lot of it. But boy,
oh boy, I've never ever seen a flex season like it.
So if anyone knows anything about that, the heart of Kiki,

(02:47):
what it means when it flowers like that. I have
heard that it means it's going to be a fantastic summer.
If you know more about that, let me know, because
it's been extraordinary. I don't know if that's right. If
it's like that right around the country. And I only
know about this boo because last year there was very
little because we work with a nursery and they're asking
for this and we couldn't find many at all. They

(03:08):
said they're very few and far between. And of course
the year, of course, climate wise, was particularly poor. So
what if those two are correlated? You might know about that.
By the way, too, I am not wanting to make
mischief with this, but I see there have been several
articles today or comments today about Christopher Luxen continuing as

(03:30):
the leader of the National government and talks of christ
Bishop going for the leadership role in such and such
and such. I just would like to say that I
have heard nothing about any rumblings. They're not that I'm
a particularly connected person to national politics, but certainly I
sometimes wonder where those whispers are coming from because I've

(03:52):
heard none of them. So anyway, there's that too, So
I just put that out there. What are we going
to talk about tonight all manner of things. By the way,
it's not looking good for that sand. There are more
products that have been spot to found to contain the asbestos.
So yeah, that's going to be a very very big story.

(04:15):
They are calling it a worrying development, and I could
put a line under that in that's of situation. There's
more of these products they've been recalled after testing positive
for asbestos. I mean, we hear a lot about the
nurseries and the daycas that will be worried. I'm sure
there's a lot of people at home that would be
worried about that. There'd be no fun at all to

(04:35):
go and buy toys for your children, which will be
fantastic for their play and for education. And then to
find out that you might have endangered them for that
very toy you've bought them. People must be protected about that.
So anyway you might want to comment on that as well.
A couple other things that I do need to tell
you too, that it's quite important. Today is National Sardine Day.

(04:58):
Love a sardine, Love a sardine. In fact, I'm going
to say it. I've never said it before. If I
had one advent calendar I think I could embrace would
be a sardine Advent calendar, and that what a great
advent calendar that would be. And rather than opening every
little window, you would actually pull back with the key
one of those kind of i'll call it a foil curtain,

(05:20):
which sounds weird, But I think a sardine. Now, I
think I've just invented something. But I think a sardine
Advent calendar would be one of the great things of
all time, to be quite biblical with sardines in the Bible.
Dan he doesn't think so, but I could do a
Google search of the word doc with their sardines on
the arc, and I think the ark was just the

(05:41):
land based animals would because it was about the floods
with their axe lottles. Good question anyway, Peter, it's Marcus.
Good evening, welcome, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Hey, yeah, you just mentioned somewhere in Southend and it
just sort of reminded me that the cycle Tour of
Southend is going to be in some of this year.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
When is it? Because I wanted what happened to that,
because I've seen some vans around that because after the
storm they pulled the pin, did they?

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, that's try so you can sort of understand why,
because traffic management around the district was a bit of
a shambles, you know, because it was all an emergency,
emergency recovery sort of thing. But yeah, I think it's
the third week. It might be the second week of January.
Third week of January. Wow, and you know, holy cow.

(06:26):
I mean I recall being there for the Tour of
South and then the snow in Munson.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Did you ride the tour, Peter?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Hell?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
No, okay, I'm not that stilly.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
No, yeah, because I know I know down South it
is a source of great shame and embarrassment that every
time that the Tour of southen happens the wind and
snow coming horizontally after a fairly nice period of time,
and people take great embarrassment from that. So let's.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, and it'll be a different experience.
People will be moaning about how hot it's instead of
how bloody cold and were today.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, you know what people, you know what people be
moaning about. People be moaning about the roads stopped as
trying to get to the holiday destination with their caravan.
That's what people will be motive about, exactly.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
So.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
But anyway, that's kind of one of your interests, isn't it.
The cycle tour.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, look, look I enjoyed the cycle to I enjoy
it from the fact that actually the weather goes so bad.
I also enjoy it for the fact that always the
school kids at bluff and at the kindy, they always
get to leave school and stand along to the roadside
for the bluff Ill climb, which is always quite exciting.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
And when I was five or six years old, I
was standing outside Saint Patrick's and nightcaps, remember waving the
weaf flags and all that sort of thing, you know,
And that's fifty five years ago.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Now, and I think Saint Patrick's and nightcaps still go.
I don't know what the role would be like, but
boy oh.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Boy, yeah, that's yeah. It's just been a bit of
an interest over the years. I come down with a
group of guys, we bring our motorcycles down and we
do the motorcycle marshaling for the event. So really looking
forward to it. Not having to bring fifteen layers and
bloody weather gear.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I wouldn't I wouldn't count your chickens too, so it
could still happen. What does what does What does motorbike
cycling marshaling mean?

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Motor motor marshaling is it's a moving It's a moving
road closure. Okay, So you've got a road closure at
the front of it and a road closure at the back,
and then between the front and back you've got traffic control.
And the trick is the cyclist are using both sides

(08:35):
of the road, so the motorcycle marshals are there to
make sure that no oncoming traffic is still oncoming when
cyclists arrived fair enough. And you know you can't do
that on foot, and it's hard to do it in
the car, but there's no good than a motorbike. You
may have seen it in other cycle tours.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I've seen some pretty amazing motorbike riding during the Tour
de France and some of those ill climbs. It looks extraordinary,
doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh yeah, it makes me envious every time I watch that.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
You should you should work out some sort of swaps
and you're going to the France the tour and they
come down here to do that. I think it'd be
quite exciting.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm not sure the chief executive will be keen on that.
So the one that I'm married to.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Okay, head office, Yeah, Peter, thanks for that, Chief executive.
There we go, sixteen pars Steak. Keep in touch. So
I haven't really launched the topic tonight, but it's all
on like donkey Kong? Is that what you say? Anyway?
People have texted me out straw I've been looking for
Apricott to shop today. There's none, Marcus. I bought a
big cut of strawberries the farmer and aal. I couldn't
believe how sweet and tasty it was. The ones in

(09:39):
the supera they keeping the friger at least three weeks
before going on sale. Yeah, that's pretty much me. Stone
fruit strawberry startings that's me. But I think as sartine
advent calendar. I'll google one up because if that's not that,
that's my retirement plan for next year as a starting
advent calendar. Can you I menatione? Howick? How good? That
would be? Sure? It's Marcus, welcome, good evening, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
We're going to stop the car right now, so that
road noise that issue makes. Now the Bible has a
reference to lobes and fishes, of course it does.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
And they could be sardines because they're in the Mediterranean,
aren't they.

Speaker 8 (10:18):
Well I reckon it was probably sardings and sandwiches, but
when they translated it from Latin to English, it became
lobes and fishes because they could work out what you know,
I think that's what it is. I think in Latin
you'd probably find that it was sardines and sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, I don't want to be disrespectful to the Bible,
but it can be in tempered in different ways. But
it could will be sardines on toast.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
Well, I love sardians on taste. Who doesn't my wife?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Who does?

Speaker 9 (10:45):
Exactly?

Speaker 10 (10:46):
It's a great mole.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
My wife's grandparents came from England to Marlborough in about
nineteen twenty and or her grandfather owned their stage and
he absolutely loved sardines on taste and whenever my wife
would go over to his house, honest I made to
see the grandparents. It was always Saturdays and our taste.

(11:08):
And I sued to hear on the weekend, are you
over ledge? Saturday's our toast?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
And there you go, and you feel quite skinned and
aving and worthy with a dish like that, don't you.
It's quite kind of a cold climbs and a meager
three type kind of a dose, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Yes, well you moved right on to the DNA and
my brother to the DNA test and it turns out
that three.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, yeah, great? But did you but she is he
still your brother? Because often with the DNA test that
always gets a bit sketchy, doesn't it.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
That could be a.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Brilliant muffled himself out just as the bit I could understand.

Speaker 11 (11:48):
Was there?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Oh wait one hundred and eighty, or there's a start
for a show. I've learned about the motorbike marshals. I
wondered when the Tour of South And was going to
be on Marcus steamers to us. She has no such
thing as a sardine. I know who'd have thunk The
term is applied to a whole swag of small or
lee fish who find themselves canned Pilchard's, hearing spreads, etc. I'll,

(12:12):
by the way, another interesting thing I can tell you.
Outside the front of our house are a whole lot
of white fronted turns that are always in the water
getting the end of the white bait. And there's always
about one hundred of them out there, and the hardcore
bird has always come down with their long lenses and
look at them. I was informed by a friend that's
a hardcore bird that four of those, I think two

(12:33):
down the sheer were Arctic turns that go from the
Arctic to Antarctica every year. Can you mention that I
think a couple got blown away by those strong winds
and kind of join the other fleet for a while,
which I thought was quite exciting. Anyway, get in touch
here till twelve twenty past eight, looking forward to your
input to Angelo ITTs Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (12:59):
Hello. I am a sad and enjoy a lover too,
and I just wanted to know and you can write
this down and look it up. Have you ever eaten
the little saurdays that come in a jar about three
centimeters or four centimeters high called riga gold r I
g A and there's smoked sadines and oil and you

(13:22):
get about about fifteen but small, about the size of
your little finger. But they're absolutely beautiful. You will never
eat them on a tin again. Have you got them
up on your Google?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I have on my Google. Yeah, I'm seeing the fifty
five dollars for a jar?

Speaker 13 (13:38):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's that's fifteen? Sorry, that's on They're okay.

Speaker 12 (13:44):
Three dollars about three dollars a jar.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Often and yeah, okay, I see that at the will
worst is I will try those tomorrow. Yes, I don't
want to think they're never gonna eat ten sadines again.

Speaker 14 (13:54):
So that wow, you want you eat these bags?

Speaker 12 (14:00):
You just sit there and you just up a whole jar.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
And I think I'd just be happy not to cut
myself opening the thing. I think that looks thing.

Speaker 12 (14:07):
That's the other thing I mean, I just I have
I have slipped my hands on and I discovered these
and they're up quite high and most of.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
The walls and okay, I'll find them. I thinking is
talking to you, that'd be a controversial thing for the
secret scenes, wouldn't they, because they're they're quite a polarizing snack.

Speaker 15 (14:27):
Ah, well, too bad.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I might try that next time. A couple of jars
of smoke, sardines and some scrub daddies, and that's probably
much most bases covered hit or midnight at Sardine Day.
It's Sardine Day, National Sardine Day. That's what you want
to go on about, Evan Marcus, welcome, it's good evening evening.

Speaker 16 (14:52):
Have you tried the sardines with the clear top and
the tin? I'm not sure the name of them?

Speaker 6 (14:59):
Very nice?

Speaker 3 (14:59):
What is the clear top?

Speaker 17 (15:02):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (15:02):
Clear plastic top layers, three layers, round.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Ten are very good.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Where did you get those? Even?

Speaker 7 (15:12):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Sup market?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Was the ten round or over a rounded round one?

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Here?

Speaker 16 (15:19):
Round ten?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I'm looking at those right up.

Speaker 16 (15:22):
To tell you about the flounder a running today?

Speaker 17 (15:25):
Hang on?

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Was it like an up market supermarket like a Pharaoh's
or just your bog stead?

Speaker 5 (15:28):
No normal super market?

Speaker 16 (15:30):
Yeah, it seemed to be most supermarket to think.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Could you see the flounder?

Speaker 9 (15:37):
No, no, no, I caught some flounders.

Speaker 16 (15:39):
Today they running nice, nice big flounders today.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
You cooked them up?

Speaker 16 (15:44):
Oh yeah, I've already had three.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Got me quoted today.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
How did you catch them?

Speaker 16 (15:49):
A couple a couple of hours. I just got a
little baby flounder it okay, Yeah, so the ark's got
plenty of flounder on it.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, good good. Oh that'll be good for you. A
mega threes that'll be healing for you.

Speaker 16 (16:04):
Oh yeah, that smoked mullets will be one, I think, yeah, beautiful.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah, that's the.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
One that's gorgeous tasting. Christian you're nice to envious even
thank you for that. Here on midnight one of is
Marcus welcome overlyon got to the text you, I mean
a lot people got to say, well, the starting, I
mean that's my two favorite things combined starting and startings
and my loathing of Secret Center. I've spoken to the

(16:33):
bos today and I think it's just four weeks till Christmas.
I don't know if we're having a Christmas party every
year that I ask of Dan and I can order
a scavenger hunt, because they'd be great, great fun with
you know, different teams having to do different tasks, with
Hosking and Heather and the like, but they've never come

(16:54):
back to us to organize that so anyway, so I
measure it'll be a dance partty downstairs or something. But
if you are after a Christmas party, my standard advice is,
if you go into Christmas party, you want to get
a support person. If you want to drink, you want
to get a support person that can just say, hey,
that's probably enough. I reckon that's your best advice. Otherwise,

(17:18):
I'm sure they're not going to sack you straight away,
but probably when it comes to kind of financial review,
getting someone halfway getting rid of someone halfway down there,
you think, well, actually they're fine, but boyoboard, did you
see them doing that at the Christmas party? And I
reckon that's where they first on the list. So you
want to get some sort of super sub just track
you're on that one. I think a lot of people

(17:40):
think they go to the Christmas party and how much
they've been how much they think they've been underpaid. They
try to recompense by drinking that much at the Christmas
party to make it good. It never ends well if
I actually think, I think about it for a long
long time. I think probably the reasons to go to
the Christmas Party get less than theirs every year. But

(18:03):
that's just my thoughts. Do what you need to do.
But oh yeah, I think I'm at the stage where
I think a scavenger hunt would be a much better
thing on an escape room or something like that. But anyway,
I'm pretty much an office of one, so I'm pretty
happy with it. I'll organize my own with masardines. Get
in touch if you want to, oh, eight hundred eighty toy,
I will get to the texts. I will get to

(18:26):
the texts and breaking news when that happens. I think
it feels a bit breaking breaking with the news tonight,
so I'll keep you posted on that. If you got
anything that you want to break news, would let us know.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two to text if you want to come through. We
are talking sardines and advent calendars. An extraordinary season for

(18:50):
the Flex. Noone's got any great wisdom to say about that.
Anything else. Get in touch. Pauline Hanson's on the front
of the Daily Mail. She's worn a burker to Parliament,
which is a pretty extraordinary image for all of reasons.
Someone has also died at Woodhill Mountain bike Park and

(19:12):
then has closed for two days. That happened this afternoon.
That's just news through. It says a sudden death. There
are no other details about that referred to the coroner.
There's just information. It's just through. But be in touch
if you want to be on the show. The number
is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine to text if you want to come through, that's

(19:35):
the plan. Stand If you want to text, look at
the text you there be some There is some good
ones because they're good topics nine to nine too. If
you want to be a part of it in the
zone with you here to you get in touch. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two text lines the free If you want to partake
in the chat tonight, look forward to what you've got
to say. Yes, the sardine is not a fish. It's

(19:58):
just a group of small fish. I'm never quite sure
from an environmental point of view, if they're eating sardines
is good or a bad thing. If you're eating the
young fish, is that good or well? I guess we
can still do it. I've never seen that kind of
chart recently where startings fit on the Endangered Fish chart.

(20:20):
The sartings with the clear litter called under un da Oh,
he's a good text. Will you and your family sign
up for the New Zealand's first stones skipping champs on
Lake How we are in March of next year? I
think probably we would go to that. I've got a
boy that's good. He's not fantastic, but he's he's shown aptitude.

(20:43):
I don't know what's good. I did read on a
very long article about the American champion and what was
interesting about him. He spends a lot of his time
finding the right stones. Round ten with the clear top
Baltic sardines smoked so good. Thank you for that, Marcus.

(21:05):
We read barn on the Way to Masters and from Ikeatahuna,
biggest story I've seen in my life. Tasted amazing, best
fruit on the planet, Marcus. One of the answer in
the Post crossword was sardine all the best You in
your family, Love ran Sparky Dean and Marcus earlier. Mess
of flex flowering means flocks have drunk two in the
North and South Island as the nectar ferments after summer showers,

(21:28):
re entertaining more so when the wax sizes and sparrows
join in. Peter from Levin Marcus, I've been right on
the edge of buying a tennisardines to try. Should I
go strong with sardines and spring water or should I begin?
I think they're best in oil to begin with. I
think probably from a health port of view, they probably
the ones in spring water are better, but the oil
ones taste better and they go on the toast better. Marcus,

(21:51):
I know that contimidated sand is from Japan. Sorry, I
know that contomindated sand is from China. My question is
is it sold in China or only as an exported product.
It's an extremely good question one I can't answer. Starting
advent calendar. You're sick man, Marcus. Marcus, I've noticed my

(22:13):
various flexes in the native flex, flowering profusely. I'm here
in whit Takty Township. Derek, Thanks Derek. Heaps of caddies.
All right, two is starling and silver. I love them anyway,
getting touch hit till midnight to night. By the way, today,
I don't want to throw too many topics at you,
but this is a topic that comes up every year,

(22:33):
and I'll throw it at you again tonight. Today today
is Celebrate your Unique Talent Day. Does anyone out there
have a unique talent? And when I mean unique, I
mean something that is your thing that you do and
people go, oh my goodness. So I don't know what's unique.

(22:54):
If you can recite pie to a thousand places, or
I don't know if it's something you've learned or something
you can actually do. Something weird you can do with
your body, like I don't know what that is. I
don't like to think about that, but yes, still get
in touch with it. That's a huge amount of interest
to me, A huge amount of interest. Surprising things you

(23:17):
can do with your body? What would they be? Yeah,
we're gonna disguise your voice if you like. Have you
got a unique talent? By the way, I tell you
what's back? The Duffel coat huge in the UK at
the moment thanks to Paddington Bear and the Waitrose commercial

(23:38):
with Joe Wilkinson. So yes, the Duffel coat is back.
So hopefully it's still a thing come our winter. I
could see myself signing up for that. Judith, you claim
to have a unique talent?

Speaker 18 (23:56):
Yes? Hi, not just how are you?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Very good? Thank you?

Speaker 18 (23:59):
Judith, I just swallows the last of my chocolate biscuits.

Speaker 9 (24:03):
You.

Speaker 18 (24:05):
Oh, I have a unique, can't, Marcus? Whatever I pray
for I get. Because someone's mean to me, I'll forgive them.
But then I do a little bit of witches stuff
and it's one hundred it works.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Hang on, can I just translate what you see? Do
you say? Whoever you pray for, whatever you pray for
happens if someone, if someone does something bad to you,
you put a curse on them and it's successful. Yes, great, Well,
well that's a gift. Tell me something. Tell me some
of the curses, and what's the bad stuff that's happened
to the people.

Speaker 18 (24:43):
Well, I'm a Kennedy, so you've probably heard of the
Kennedy curse.

Speaker 17 (24:47):
Yes I have.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy.

Speaker 18 (24:51):
Well I delivered that anyway. I'll tell you what what happened, Marcus.
Like two Christmases ago, Like my sister as a farmer
and messer wow with nine hundred and fifty cows and
they were going for a drought. Then so's a Christmas.

(25:13):
I posted her the garden known with the warp drink can.
And it was about the time out and John played
for oh.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yes, and you got and you got the intact of
the Anniversary day floods.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Well, you know, I.

Speaker 18 (25:27):
Phoned up my system on Christmas Day because I always
had the present there two weeks before Christmas, so I
phoned her up. You know, how do you buy something
with someone that has everything?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah, and didn't work. It meant there was rain?

Speaker 10 (25:43):
Is that right?

Speaker 18 (25:45):
Well? I phoned her up and I said, well, where
did you put that garden? Known where the walk drink can? Well,
I bought myself one as well. And you know what
she said, right down the back of my garden, Judice,
And I went, well, I got mine at the back door.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Did it rain?

Speaker 18 (26:08):
Well, then it did the Elton John floods.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Okay, appreciate jud to thank you, but you need talent.
Is not cutting to the chase. That's all right though.
That's hand a mean spirited, didn't it he till twelve? Neil,
it's Marcus good evening. Oh my fault bad push Hi, Neil,
this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (26:28):
So I'm just a regular cause to keep that in mind.
Thank you for I developed a talent for a couple
of occasions where I was slightly endangered. I didn't had
to steal my body completely. It almost stopped my heart
only just beating, and I'd been able to do.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
That ever since.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Tell me that again, Well I do.

Speaker 19 (26:53):
I steal my body completely down, and I stopped my
heart beating, almost almost stopped completely beating, and it saved
my life a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Why do you do this?

Speaker 19 (27:08):
Well, it goes way way way back to twenty two
when there was a home invasion and I got out
the front door and I found a bush to hide behind.
You like, because he came up to me with a knife.
This is all that much for this kind of time
of the week.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
This call, Yes, And then you slowed your hat so
you couldn't hear your heart beating.

Speaker 19 (27:33):
He didn't know where I was. No, he couldn't see
where I was because I completely sealed my body, my
heart right down.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
What a gift.

Speaker 19 (27:41):
It has been very useful.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 19 (27:45):
Other times too.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Could you slow your heart now? And I'm talking to you, no,
not on I.

Speaker 19 (27:52):
Keep singing on speakerphone, can't you.

Speaker 20 (27:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (27:56):
Yeah, that's the trouble, you see, because you know I
didn't do it in my room or right still it's
not a good idea when you're seventy four it because
you're in writing problems.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Do they know what it was that came into your house?

Speaker 16 (28:14):
Oh yeah, nah, that was all right.

Speaker 19 (28:17):
You know he got through out of the country and
I'm told he's certain really well now he's sort out
his drug issues and he's not home invading people. He'd
done it about four times before me, and so he
had a little file build up. But I reckon he's
all right now. He's looking out for his grandchild.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
It's a blessing.

Speaker 19 (28:38):
I let it go years ago.

Speaker 12 (28:40):
I can't worry me.

Speaker 19 (28:41):
You got to let it go, Neil, Yeah, you do right.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah, No, that's one of the great lessons in life.
You've got to let it go. Let it go, as
I singing that song, let it go here till midnight.
Unique talents and sudines, it's just the start nineteen to nine,
seventeen away from nine. Keep those texts coming through. If
you've got a unique talent, someone can actually change the weather.

(29:05):
Someone connection stop their heart. Wow, Marcus, you should have
cut her off. She'll cast a spell on you. Well,
I thought of that. A lot was going through my
head with that I'll be worried if I get a
garden ornament in the male Unique Talents.

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Anyway, get in touch, Marcus Dodney. Our flex is flowering.
The cabbage trees are too. It happens only every few
years the flowers fill. You're quite right. Yeah, I've got
a lot of cabbage trees and they are going nuts,
as are the flax. They're through the roof, not literally
because they're outside. Flat stones are super important for a
great throw. We'd awesome stones on a great beach of devil.

(29:47):
That's why they do it. Like how where would be
all that rounded shift? They're flat and they're smooth. It'll
be glacial shift, I would imagine. Marcus, can you ask
Judith to curse me with a jackpot? A lot of jackpop?
Please lines fifield to partake sixteen to nine. Welcome to
the show. How are you? What's happening? Enjoying it muchly?

(30:08):
A number of years before a number of years, a
number of weeks and a number of months, a number
of days before Christmas. Two new cases of Measles and Nelson.
It brings the number to twenty one. Yep, I can
tell you that the all blacks have finished ten wins
from thirteen matches, losses to Argentina, South Africa and England.

(30:32):
The Black Friday sales are on this Friday. It's not
Black Friday. It's not a Friday the thirty that confuses
some people. And it's not long till Ikea opens in Auckland.
That's the fourth of December. Today is Sardine's Day. It's

(30:54):
also dB Cooper Day. Here's a supposed aviation worker that
jumped on a plane with a note asking for money.
The ask for two parachutes. I think that was the key.
We didn't want to be given a Jemmy parachute, so
he asked for two and two one thousand dollars in

(31:16):
a briefcase and parachuted out. I asked for four parachutes.
And there is much speculation about him and where he is.
Some say he was an ex aviation worker because I
think of something on his tie was a rare metal
that was using in the aviation industry. Some say he

(31:38):
was an ex military paratrooper, if that's the right word.
But there's plenty of websites about him if you want
to get involved. Yeah, pretty remarkable and was seen as
a hero. I'm not quite sure why because he managed
to get away with it. I guess it's fourteen to
nine be in touch. Oh that's me ten to ten

(32:00):
to nine. How are you? What's happening lines free Sardines
and sardine tips and dB Cooper and have you got
a unique talent?

Speaker 17 (32:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I don't know how many people I've missed been in
life that have had a unique talent. I've thought cheapest creepers,
and I'm thinking about those people I've made a part,
you know that can do those sorts of things like
cheapest creepers. What is that you are doing? Which I've
written them down? By the way, this might be of
interest to you. Saturday was the thirtieth anniversary of Toy Story.

(32:39):
It's an old movie now, so yeah, thirty years still
looks quite fresh, doesn't it. I guess that's the thing
about animation doesn't really date. Am I right about?

Speaker 6 (32:52):
That?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Might look about what he no pun intended? But I don't.
I've very much too. I watched bloc Watch last week
that squid games with the real people. Loved it absolutely compelling.
That's the one where they you know, they get real
people going for four million America four point six America
a million American dollars. And yeah, it was a tense

(33:16):
and fantastic So it was on Netflix. Anything reality will
love it. That's my thing. I've decided on the rare
times I get a chance to watch TV, I'm all
in and the kids. Kind of the kids, the children,
they seem to kind of dominate TV in our house.
It's not necessarily with TV they're doing either, but yeah,

(33:37):
when I get a chance, amazing any who Oh, eight
hundred and eighty forty seven degrees in Australia this week. Wow,
I'm following a guy on Facebook that's walking across the
middle of Australia with a cart. I think it's I
forget what it's called, but he's going to be feeling it.
Just didn't see people for days and days and days.

(33:58):
But he's a good unit. He films a lot of
it with drones. It's quite visually, quite good. Hello, Doug,
this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 20 (34:06):
Oh hi Marcus, how are you getting on?

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Good dog?

Speaker 20 (34:10):
Look, I'm sure you've covered this, but if you're talking
about flax and plants and things, I take that everyone knows.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
That it's a master year.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
What determines those.

Speaker 20 (34:24):
I know something things about it. I'm not an expert
on it, but it basically means much much much more
pollen and much much more bactivity. It always gets me
a little bit annoyed because one of the reasons why
master year is so bad, I think, and this is

(34:45):
probably my own idea rather than being a well accepted one,
and that's that they kill cats these days. You know,
they don't allow feral cats to insist. Well, feral cats
do create damage and master years. I'm pretty sure I
could be wrong here. Someone will probably argue with it,
but I'm pretty sure that the cats change their habits.

(35:06):
We're not so much after birds. They're more after vermin,
you know, after And it means that places where they're
after the cats and shooting the cats and so forth
are much worse than last year than in places where
they don't. Okay, and I mean I'm a lover. Basically
it's not probably buyers, but you know, I've just just

(35:29):
seen it from the figures.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah, might discussing enough for the news, Doug, but thanks
so much for that. Seven Away from nine Looking for
Jacalls back soon. Five from nine Jeff on sardines Jeff
it's Marcus. Good evening, you're there, Jeff five.

Speaker 11 (35:44):
Yeah, sorry, mate, that's the last reception. I've been eating
sardines since I've been fifteen years of age, and I
love them. I used to do them on toast and
I used to put grilled cheese on top. That's absolutely beautiful.

(36:05):
Runs Way was a brand of sardines, and I used
to buy them, and I used to take them up
the hills when I went hunting and h and if
I wanted a snack, sardines on toast, absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
What would you be what would you be hunting?

Speaker 20 (36:31):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (36:32):
What would you be hunting.

Speaker 11 (36:34):
There?

Speaker 18 (36:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, okay?

Speaker 11 (36:37):
Or fellow deea in the back of long renui copy that.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
And I've met a lot of hunters that swear by sardines.

Speaker 11 (36:48):
Yeah, a lot of a lot of hunters were great
on toast, easy, quick meal.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
And I guess they're not gonna They're not gonna get
stuffed around the back of the peck. They're kind of robust,
aren't they. They're a superfood? Yeah?

Speaker 17 (37:05):
Well part of those way.

Speaker 11 (37:07):
I just love them. I enjoy them, and I still
eat them and I probably never will stop eating until
the day I die so, but you can get sardines
as bait and I'll view them on my surfcaster, and
the cotton tied them on and they make great bait

(37:30):
for snapper.

Speaker 16 (37:31):
Brilliant.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Nice to hear from you. Thank you Here till midnight,
welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine
to dediction. I see now. A group of parents are
now looking at weighing up a class action lawsuit about
the sand from Kmart because the consubar guarantees that came
out apparently as liable for any cost or damages linked

(37:54):
to the product, including testing, decontamination or removal. Wow, but
some people are claiming they've had to struggle getting in
touch with Kmart on the back of this one. I'll
tell you what this is going to be on going.
This could be big, This could be very very big.
That's my prediction. Might be wrong. Watch the space, well,

(38:15):
listen to the space. As we say in this business
here till midnight, catch after the break center bit. It
is well compared as sardine day. So we are talking
about sardines. They are sustainable. But all the counters on
reading in the situation, even the Romans ain't them. Probably
in POMPEII, there was people eating sardines before the ash
preserved their bodies. Of course, the word sardines comes from Sardinia.

(38:37):
Just in case you don't know that, maybe I knew that,
Maybe I didn't know that, Maybe I just reremembered that. Anyway,
we are talking sardines and the extraordinary flax that we've got.
That seems to be a mastering year with flax and
the cabbage try that's exciting, tremendous growth. So if you
want to talk about that. Also, we are a lot
of stuff we are talking about. It's also unique talent day.

(39:00):
I'm curious if you have a unique talent, what is
there or no someone with a unique talent. No, someone
that's got a talent there that Wow, you only mean
someone once in a lifetime with that. Oh, we are
also talking about dB Cooper, the very famous plane hijack,
if that's what you'd call it. Marcus just picked up

(39:24):
on the end of the conversation on dB Cooper. Someone
in my memory banks I recalled that one of the
two RNZAF Bowing seven two sevens was the very same
aircraft that dB Cooper exited from. I've never heard that
that's extraordinary. Hopefully, hopefully somebody listening to confirm it. But
I served in the r NZF at the time the

(39:45):
seven to sevens arrived, and the story sticks with me.
I have never read that connection. I've read a bit
about dB Cooper. I've never read that, but that probably
wouldn't be in the list of things I've read about.
That's quite tangential information. It is fascinating, though, Marcus, sardines
a've very good for your dog as part of your

(40:06):
diet for Amega three oily fish. But the vet told
me to get the ones in spring water marks. I
don't know if you, of course unique talent or not,
but I turned my eyelids inside out and scare the
how are my grandkids marks? The last year we had,
the last master year we had a few years back,
the Rajo saddle just before reefed, and every one hundred
meters there would be twenty dead mice and twenty dead rats.

(40:28):
That was pretty full on. Could you see they grows
the beach and everything. There's so much food that the
rat population goes through the roof. Then they can't sustain it. Marcus,
regarding your topic on talents, here's a question for you,
how do you feel about clairvoyance and mediums? They are
welcome on the show. Here's a text. What does this mean?

(40:50):
Someone should tell Ik the name of our country is
New Zealand, Lawrence. What does that mean, Lawrence? What do
you want about Lawrence? Iki? You probably are fully aware
of what the name of the country is. Good evening,
Andrew Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 21 (41:04):
Ah, Hi Marks. I was just calling about TV Cooper
great a couple of a couple of things that always
made me laugh about him. While it was things that
wouldn't happen now. He just rocked up to the counter
and paid cash for his ticket and just said his
name was dB. Cooper was like, he didn't have to
show any ID. But the amazing thing was he just
took a shotgun on his carry on, which is even

(41:29):
in those days, you'd think that checked for that. But
that was kind of the start of the hijack. There
was a lot of hijackings in America. And one another
fun fact about them was for someone and reason, they
all used to want to go to Cuba.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
That's right, that's right, they did too. I was going
to say Cuba, yeah, yeah, and they I.

Speaker 20 (41:47):
Don't know what.

Speaker 21 (41:48):
They hijacked American planes and while they were waiting to
get the money, they flew to Cuba, and the Cuban
government treated them like heroes and used to put them
up in hotels and they have massive parties.

Speaker 22 (41:58):
Was really that.

Speaker 21 (42:00):
Doesn't sound real, but that's what happened, which is truly bizarre.

Speaker 9 (42:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
The only sort of information I always found interesting about
dB Cooper is they did find some of the cash,
which I think is probably makes or tantalizingly close. But
they never found anything else about him.

Speaker 21 (42:18):
But that that cash they found years later on that
he was.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Down a river or something, but they had the notes
and they could trace it back to it. But I
thought that was bizarre that there. And I suspect he
probably died, but and that would have blown out of
his peck. But I've got nothing to base that on
m because you think if you've done it, if you've
done it, he would have seen to someone that he
had done it right, not.

Speaker 21 (42:45):
If he's disciplined. But my last question before he has
anyone ever made a movie about him?

Speaker 9 (42:51):
Anyone ever made a movie about it?

Speaker 3 (42:55):
I don't know that they have. Hy interesting A great movie, wouldn't.

Speaker 21 (43:01):
It I think so, especially the scene where he's jack
his shotgun and as he walks on, you know they
could have a close up with that beg boy. It
gets me the shotgun just pulled out. A shotgun's on
a plade.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
I don't necessarily know that he did have a shotgun,
but you're you're settled on that. I know that he had.
He had a briefcase that just had what he showed
the ear hostess why is and that was a supposed bomb,
but with they never got to count I don't think
to verify that.

Speaker 21 (43:31):
What sounds interesting in my mind, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just googling it up about
the shotgun. I haven't seen information about that, but someone
else will know, Andrews. So we'll find out some more
about that. Nice to talk to you, thirteen past nine.
If you want to come and talk about dB. There's
some good stuff always on Netflix about dB Cooper. It
comes up from time to time, Marcus. It has been
a psychic and a medium. I've got no idea. I

(43:57):
think one commune with the dead wherever they are. I
don't know what the other one does. Someone says, why
did dB Cooper steel the current force? Plan that keeps
breaking down into us. A favor of the country. Jordan,
I thought you'd done their Jordan a friend Claire Jordan

(44:18):
is an epic cross Thatcher makes cool ones of stuff
like guns and roses band members. That's unique talent. It's
Unique Talent Day. It's also starting Dad's also dB Cooper Day.
So all three of those things are good. There is
a fantastic documentary about dB Cooper on Netflix, must free
see from Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that, but

(44:40):
none of them really have any new I mean often
in the paper that's come up with supposed new information,
but it's never a gotcha. So I get in touch
you on to talk eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine to text. Let me think what
else I can tell you tonight. People. There was a

(45:01):
movie starring Robert Duval and Treat Williams called The p
Suit of dB Cooper. It was released in nineteen eighty one.
The whole film is on YouTube kind of measure. It
was a very good movie. Oh, Robert Deval would be
good though. And there's always conferences every year, and I

(45:24):
think there's a bar called the dB Cooper Bar, and
I think passengers on the plane are sought after guests,
not that there'll be much more information from them. I
don't think. I mean, it's all been gone over a
number of times. Maybe one day science could uncover it.
They might find some DNA. I think there was some.
I think he took his tie off and stuff before

(45:45):
he jumped. I can't remember all the details I've got.
I think that's the case. Oh gosh, I see on
the Las Vegas Grand Prix they're just going past that
sapherical building. That's kind of amazing a how they project
all the images on that During the Grand Prix. It's
always about same same with the cover of the job.
It's always laws and excellent. It's it's jeez, it's a

(46:06):
tough season, isn't it. Anyway, Just watch it out there
on the TV. Get in touch. You want to be
a part of the show. Marcus till twelve. You know
the drill. Yes, I don't know if dB Cooper and
I don't like to I don't like to say when
people bring up with stuff that they might be wrong,
but also it's important I think, probably for the right information.
But I don't think he had a shotgun. I think

(46:27):
some of the subsequent ones that went to Cuba might
have had shotguns, because that did infact happen. They did
go to Cuba and subsequent ones now be in touch
if you want to partake people Sardines, Christmas calendars, Advent
Christmas parties, Advent calendars, dB Cooper and Unique Talents. I

(46:49):
suggest we've got too many topics out there, but that's fine.
I can handle all of this and we'll get a
show between it all. We will finagle up his show.
I'm still working on an end of year quiz. What
form that will take two not sure at the stage,
but just putting that out there. It's top of mind
for me. But be in touch if you onto at

(47:10):
seventeen past nine. I'll welcome people nineteen past nine. All
the lines are free if you want to come through.
There's a lot of topics out there. I'm sure you
managed to find your way through some of those. Keep
those texts coming to Mark's. I love Stardians on toast.
But while the Bruns with Louisiana hot sauce and Jellipedo
ones no longer available in the supermarkets, I don't know.

(47:31):
I think for a long time we were pretty blessed
with a variety of sardines we'd had, but I think
lately the shelves have been more limited. I don't know
what's going on there. I'd have a whole out isle
of sardines if I had any joy in this matter,
choice in this matter. But Cheryl says sardines helped me
domesticate three feral kittens. They love them and would give

(47:54):
them a fuss while greedley eating the sardines. Chryl. One
of my best sardine stories is I had a Solander
albatross arrive after a storm on the front lawn and
managed to revive it with sardines. It happened, I had
it happened twice and both times I'm just gonna see

(48:17):
if I can find a photo it can see how
good how good my photo search is to work out
if it can find an albatross. But yeah, it was
amazing looking bird. And revived it with sardines, and one
time it took off. But subsequently I've probably learned that

(48:38):
they can't really take off on their own. They need
to be released from height to get the ear. So
I don't know where that first case where it actually went,
but it might have found the air itself. It needed
to get up there. It needs a hype to get
They need height to get airborne. I can't find it.
Was a remarkable looking bird, but yeah, I can't actually
see a copy of it so very away. But look,

(48:59):
if you want to come through and talk about any
of these things, it'd be nice to hear from your
My name is Marcus, Welcome obviously the number is eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. All manner of things to
talk about tonight, particularly if you want to talk about
dB Cooper. You'll be fascinated by him. He's one of
those topics that can go quite big, probably after ten.
A lot of dB Cooper obsessives out there, So if

(49:19):
you want to talk about him, that would be great,
or anything else. I'm trying to find a photo of
the albatross from a front lawn, but I'm just looking
at my front lawn and there's two thousand photos there
and it's not that specific on the GPS. But yeah,
you can't see the arbatross straight away. Have a bit
of another look for it. But yes, how are you
going people? You want to talk twenty three past nine

(49:42):
scan scan scan, and can't see it straight away, that's right.
But yes, if you want to talk on air, if
there's something different you want to mention tonight too. God,
the one thing that I am interested is a newsy thing.
I'd be curious to know if you had worked in Australia,

(50:03):
how compulsory super worked because it was well, how super
good because it was compulsory. I think there and I
think the employer plays all of it, but I don't
quite know how that stacks from an employer's point of
view and how the money go around works without I
just see that the government's come up with a scheme
that's been widely criticized because I think it's voluntary and

(50:26):
in fact it's nothing like the Australian ones. Although they
are claiming success along the well, they're complaining they're claiming
returns commensurate to the Australian one, which is in fact
not the case. So some quite vocal and immediate criticism
about that plan. So if you want to talk about
that also too. But yeah, I guess the best thing
is if you've been in the Australian compulsory saving scheme,

(50:47):
how that worked for you, and it seems to work.
I think it's twelve percent. It's quite a generous one.
I think the employer plays all of it. And let's
look at Australisy as we're booming a lot more than
we are, and things in U Zand seem to be
quite it pays not to call it cook talk about
too much, but it seems quite sketchy here, if you

(51:08):
know what I'm saying. So yes, that might be something
you want to talk about as well tonight. But anything
goes sardines and unique talents. Have you got a unique talent?
Let me know what that unique talent is. I'd be
keen to hear about that. Anything else you want to
talk about tonight, So you get in touch Marco still
midnight here till twelve, feel free to come through. So yeah,
whatever you've got them up for it eight hundred and

(51:28):
eighty ten eighty and nine nine to text you want
to talk about any of these things, so yeah, emails
or texts are good. Also, I'll look for breaking news
when I can.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
For you.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Is anything that's happening around the world. Have you got
anything new that's happening to let me know also tonight, yep.
And then we get to that Christmas party season. This
is my last Monday in November. Oh, actually, how many
thirty days? I can't remember how many days in November.
I won't try and promise at thirty. So this will
be the last Monday for November. Then it's just three
Mondays in December and we're away. It seems remarkably quick.

(52:06):
Try and keep it sure, But come through if you
want to talk. Here until twelve oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. My name is Marcus. Got evening. Nice
to hear from if you do want to talk anything
else you want to mention to be good to hear
from you, but here until midnight. If you want to
be a part of the show. As I said, there's
something entirely different you want to talk about. That's that's
good and I embrace that. But dB Cooper, if your
dB Cooper obsess, if I know the lot of you are,
I'm always fastated to hear about that. It's one of

(52:28):
the great stories and one of the great mysteries, probably
one of those mysteries you think will ever be solved.
But a lot of those sometimes with science and the likes,
they come through with new information. So yes, that could
be something you want to talk about this tonight. Ah,
let me think what else I can tell you? Frantically

(52:49):
looking yea if there is other stuff you do want
to talk about that you don't hesitate to get in
touch tonight people, As I say, oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to text, keep those
texts coming. We think what else I can tell you?

Speaker 17 (53:04):
People?

Speaker 6 (53:05):
What is the time?

Speaker 3 (53:05):
Twenty five past nine? Someone said, asked dB about dbkeopwerdy
phones and very good thing to say that. Actually, yeah,

(53:25):
I could well do that. I don't think I'll watch
the Oh. By the way, I had this come through,
which I thought was interesting. I meant to someone emailed
this to me on Friday, but it was it was
a paywalled article. Gordon Lightfoot's The Wreck of the Edwin
Fitzgerald from nineteen seventy six scored major gains in US

(53:48):
streams and sales amidst the fifty adversary of its namesake
ships Keeping, leading to its coronation on a Billboard chart
for the first time, and the weekending November thirteen, the
song drew three point seven million official US streams and
fold five thousand downloads. It returned to Billboard's Hot Rock

(54:08):
and Alternative Songs Chart at number fifteen, and that pushed
the song to number one on Rock Digital Sales, making
its first placement atop any Billboard tally. So finally he
got number one of the Billboard charts. It's Lightfoot's third
leader on the list, after If You Could Read My
Mind in Sundown, which went to number one and twenty
twenty three following Lightfoot's death at age eighty four. Yes, quest,

(54:31):
the music charts aren't what they were. They're quite complicated now,
So there we go. He went back to number one
as a result. We went to number one with that
song as a result of the increased interest with the
fifteen anniversary of the sinking of the of the anniversary
of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and we sated
our fair amount of playing at that night and bits

(54:53):
and bobs and probably encouraging people to do that. And
I was to do it a number of times. So
there we go, twenty seven past nine. There is something
different you want to mention tonight. It's good, it's good.
It'd be good to hear from you. So also the
topic is that that sand There's been more examples of
that Sand and Peter are also talking about banning silica

(55:18):
because there's those engineered stone desktops bench tops I don't
know too much about, but they call ciliosis. Yeah, and
I don't know fool much about.

Speaker 6 (55:30):
That, but that.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
Appears to be a really dangerous kind of thing. You
might have some information about that. It's not my area
of expertise. In fact, I've got no era of expertise,
but I know that these desktops are huge concern bench tops. Rather,
I've said desktops twice. I'm not sure why I have
done that anyho upwards and onwards, oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. If you want to get in touch

(55:53):
with the show and talk about dB Cooper also tonight,
but feel free to get amongst it. Anything else you
want to mention too, do come through. We've got the
sort of the light and the serious tonight. You might
want to go but both. Actually that's always a good
it's always probably a good way.

Speaker 14 (56:12):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
The situation tip the question I meant to ring. Earlier,
a woman called Crystal Is emailed Marcus, I wonder if
you canna help me. We had an Airbnb booking over
Christmas and hand miss Springs. The host canceled our booking
two weeks ago. The reason given was weather damage. We
understood this over the weekend in the race to find
new accommodation, only to find the same probably listed fory

(56:36):
double the price over the same dates. Is anyone who
had this issue before? Seems unethical to me? Airb and
BA Wow, Haw's that happened to you? So they see
these more demand and they canceled. I've heard about this
on before the show. I just wonder what redressed people
have for that. It's a sketchy world, the world of airbnb.

(56:59):
Should they ban it? Well, destroying suburbs? Isn't it? No
houses for anyone? Because people are making more money reading
it out to two I was gonna say foreigners, that's
an xenophobic renting it out to holiday makers. Yeah, I
don't know what you want to say about that thing
A bit questionable. But Evening, Jan this is Marcus. Welcome

(57:20):
hip Marcus evening Jam.

Speaker 23 (57:23):
Hi, do you like asparagus roles?

Speaker 3 (57:30):
What do you think?

Speaker 23 (57:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Well, it's a pretty interesting. It's an easy guest. I
either love them or loathe them.

Speaker 23 (57:39):
Yeah, of course, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (57:41):
It is.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
I think you love them, love them, love them. You
don't see them off. If I'm out somewhere as a
cabinet treat, i'd probably get three delicious always good. Yeah,
always good with brown bread. Don't worry it doesn't I'm
not fast.

Speaker 23 (58:00):
Ah. Well, you know how you've got some brown bread
and you put the butter at your cut the crust off,
and then if you put a thin layer of tomato
sauce and then you lie in a sardine you know,
in the same way you put an asparagus on, oh yes,

(58:21):
across across from corner to corner, and then roll it
up like an asparagus roll and put a toothpicken. Makes
a great thin snacks for children.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
For a fork and talk kind of a wedding or something.
So what your basis, what you're basically saying is say,
marcus asparagus roll instead of the asparagus sartine and tomato sauce.

Speaker 23 (58:48):
Yeah, lovely, did you invent that?

Speaker 24 (58:50):
Jet J J?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Did you invent that?

Speaker 17 (58:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Really?

Speaker 23 (58:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (58:58):
Wow, that's a studid.

Speaker 23 (58:59):
Thing I do.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
When's your cookbook coming out?

Speaker 23 (59:04):
Well, it's a long story, very long. That albatross. Did
you just put the food and then move right.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Away, or no, I put the food, I put ciner,
sat in the corner and move right away. And it
wasn't there. But the next time I did the same thing.
And then and then we put it in a sack
and in the boot of the car and a sack.

Speaker 23 (59:30):
How to manage to get an albatross and do it?

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Sounds like a metaphor for something, doesn't it. There were
several of us and we put it in the sack
just so it's We thought that was the right thing,
and took it to a high point round by Ocean Beach,
which is the albatross because because they need height to
get rereleased so that they can't just do it from
ground zero. They need to get on your head. Yes,

(59:55):
you put it around your neck. But yeah, that's what
we did. And it took a very very moving thing
to do.

Speaker 23 (01:00:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Oh god. And the coloring, the marking of the with
the yellow under the eye was remarkable, gorgeous. Yeah as well, Yes,
yes we have.

Speaker 23 (01:00:17):
So you had a penguin on your lawn.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Yeah, And there is those Fjordland Crest had come to
bluff occasion in what, in fact, one got hit by
a car. But well, that just happens, does it. That's
going back, and I think people feeling it was going
back and forward over the over the road. So but
there was always a there was always a sea lion
that visited. They haven't seen that.

Speaker 7 (01:00:39):
For a while.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Ah.

Speaker 23 (01:00:42):
I had a great big cork land on my front lawn,
great big thing, and I showed it away. Scary animals
so big. I haven't seen them about for ages was
four of them and now no, I think people have
shot them. They were killing all the ducklings.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
And oh yeah, too much. I don't think any I
don't think any I don't think anyone deserve any body
deserves to be killed. But yeah, I'm hearing you, Jen,
thank you. Tweet you away from ten. Someone says Marcus,
who is dB Cooper regards Christian Walklan. Well, fair enough,
it's dB Cooper day. I will tell you a bit
about dB Cooper for those that just joined the show.
dB Cooper is very famous for Internet sleuths and people

(01:01:28):
in the know about people. So in nineteen seventy one,
it was and a mysterious man went on to a
plane and he spoke to one of the well, I
call them air hostesses. These days we call them flight
attendants because the hostess is genus specific. And he spoke

(01:01:49):
to one of the hostesses and said, in my briefcase
is a bomb, and you need to land this plane
and grab two hundred thousand dollars and four parachutes and
then take off again. And they did exactly that. They
landed the plane, the passages got off, just I think

(01:02:09):
the flight attendants and the pilots remained, and the genius
was asking for four parachutes because they thought perhaps that
he was going to jump out with the flight attendants.
Otherwise they would have given parachutes with no parachute. And
the plane flew south and he jumped out of the

(01:02:31):
plane with two undred thousand dollars, which is worth one
point four million dollars in today's terms. And he landed
somewhere about a small town called Ariel, Washington, Nate Merwin,
And they have a dB Cooper Day every year in

(01:02:52):
today is that day. Some of the money was found
in nineteen eighty in the Columbia River. Other clues need
lead to a potential niece of Cooper, as well as
what's believed to be his necktie. I don't know about
his niece. But someone might have and it's something that
people are obsessed about, So if you know some information
about that. I think the necktie had chemicals on it

(01:03:18):
that were peculiar to the aviation industry. And they thought
he might have worked at the Boying factory, which is
from Seattle, where he took off from. And yeah, I
do not to pronounce Boeing, but I get bored pronouncing
words the right way, and Boying what a fun way
to say it. But he worked for Boeing, not Boying.

(01:03:45):
There was a woman that claimed to be his niece.
Her accounts include childhood memories of seeing her uncle injured
and overhearing conversations about hijacking aeroplane and the FBI polygraphed
her and that was successful, and she wrote a book
called DB's Niece. This is new information about I didn't
realize that last time we talked about this. But I

(01:04:05):
mean always people that were claimed to be things for
money or for antirety, or just because of peculiness of
the like that woman that continues to claim to be
medaling McCann. I mean, what's that about, Marcus. I've lived
in New z in Australia, I just withdrew my using
key we saver and fullers have lived overseas for more
than twelve months. My Australian Super is worth more than

(01:04:28):
my Keiwi saver by virtue of employer contributions no employee
contribution required, and you can transfer it back to New
Zealand at any point. The added bonus. You can withdraw
the Super from Australia at the age of sixty if
it's sitting in New Zealand. Funny enough, I worked in
Australia for a number of months. I wonder if I've
got I'm sure I've got Australian money invested there that

(01:04:50):
I've never even done anything about. Wonder how you go
and track that down nineteen to ten back soon sixteen
to ten. I have very good email text here at
the risk of let the truth getting to have a
good story. Your air Force man's dB Cooper linked to
the arians of seventy seven is easy to bunked. The
aircraft dB Cooper hijacked and jumped from was Boeing seven

(01:05:11):
to seven DASH five to one registration in four seven
six US operated by Northwest Orient Airlines on flight three five.
The R and ZAF seven seven to raw model seven
two seven twenty two QC. None of those three we've
operated by Northwest Orient Airlines. The serial numbers were. And
he's quite and I've sent that back to the guy

(01:05:31):
that texted that through. That's great, Bennett's Marcus, Good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
You know Marcus. I always as she watched a documentary
I think it was on Netflix a few weeks ago,
that was, and they were saying that it could be
that Richard Foyd go he he did the same thing
as dB Cooper. I've got tried to get the five
hundred gram grand off playing a year later doing pretty
much existed the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
What was his name? Richard Floyd And they're saying he
could have been the same guy. Is that what they're saying?

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
Because he did he did the same thing with AV
Tuper the following year and he parachuted out of the
plane and that they got him the next day after
he was seen in a I don't know, he was
wearing similar clothing at convenience store and that's they caught
this guy and they tried to tie him to DV Trooper,

(01:06:29):
but they never could.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
Richard McCoy Jr. As the guy's name. Yeah, good dot
on that's on Netflix as well as it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:40):
I'm pretty sure it is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Yeah, I read that, Thanks Ben. That's good intel for me,
and I guess did he do it successfully? I don't
know if the full details about that anyway? Is that too, Jamie?
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:06:57):
Hey Marcus here you good?

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Thank you Jamie.

Speaker 9 (01:07:01):
Oh heard you mentioned about your Australian super because you
worked here.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
For all, No, I saw it didn't start till nineteen
ninety one. It was after my time. I've got no
secret nest.

Speaker 11 (01:07:11):
Did there.

Speaker 9 (01:07:14):
Get your pin number?

Speaker 8 (01:07:16):
And yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:07:18):
Like that because it's all done through the government now
into the tax department.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
It all.

Speaker 9 (01:07:22):
They pretty much scan everywhere and then they look for
your super and they put them all together. Because if
you start two jobs, they just add you to whatever
super fund they are and you don't tell them. Then
you end up with more than one fund. So you've
got to like combine them or make sure you tell work.
So yeah, I like three or four funds at one stage,
so that at a few different jobs. But do you choose?

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
Do you choose how it's invested?

Speaker 9 (01:07:48):
Not really I did for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Believe it does one have that option. It's not always government.
The governments don't invest it. You can choose the provider,
can you.

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
Yeah, oh yeah, you.

Speaker 9 (01:07:59):
Can choose the provider. And you can do self managed
super which is a big thing about it now because
everyone's buying property this south manae super. But there's a
lot to it. But you can do that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
But what I don't understand, Jamie is how do the
employers afford it? Because a lot of money for twelve
percent through all wagesn't it? I mean, how does it?

Speaker 11 (01:08:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:08:22):
It's pretty good. Now I've got I worked for myself
for a while, so take a year. I did that
doing Treuek. But other than that, I've got eighty grand
and then we took out twenty through COVID just because
you could, So it's not it's not too bad for
thirteen thirteen years of work.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Did you spend it? Did you spend your twenty grand
from COVID wisely? Or did you just buy toys and
gimmicks with it?

Speaker 9 (01:08:47):
I bought I've bought a couple of arcade machines that
were five thousand dollars, so.

Speaker 22 (01:08:53):
Not really, but they're pretty cool.

Speaker 16 (01:08:55):
So I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:08:56):
Yeah, they're still just at a Dawn's place.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
But did you buy did you buy arcade machines because
you were going to put them into commercial premises?

Speaker 9 (01:09:07):
Oh no, it was just one came up on eBay
and the game that I played as a kid and
Battle Gear four racing carlat So I had to buy
five grand there.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
Crush you dead?

Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's funny. What's it called? What's the game called?

Speaker 9 (01:09:30):
Battle Get four? The most came out in the early
two thousands. Yeah, and that's the most realistic racing car
arcade of his time. So you've got to like sixth
stree gear box clutch and.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Called did you say battle? What's the word after.

Speaker 9 (01:09:46):
Battle Battle geart fourth?

Speaker 11 (01:09:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
I thought you said get Yeah, okay, understand. Yeah, yeah,
it's a proper console cy. I think I played that one. Yeah, okay,
I see it. Yeah, you got, you got, You've got,
you got, You've got a guest stick yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:10:03):
Yeah, it's got six speed and you got to push
the clutch and or you can't and get the right game.
It's pretty fun.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Five grand seems quite reasonable a lot for shipping, though,
Where was it from?

Speaker 9 (01:10:13):
I was from Melbourne. Was four thousand dollars and then
a thousand dollars to chuck it up here because I
wouldn't have got it in my truck because they're so heavy,
so I had to pay remerverless to bring it up.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Brilliant. I'm going to run. I've done bad with commercials, Jamie,
but nice to talk to. Thank you for that. Nine
to ten Laureates, Marcus, Good evening.

Speaker 14 (01:10:31):
Phidly Marcus. Yeah, hey, sounds like a great way to
get through COVID if you can ship in an arcade machine.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:10:41):
Hey, just looking at a receipt I did a bit
of supplementary shopping the other day. My wife doesn't like
sardines or the smell of them basically, so if I
get I am consuming them in my office command cave.
But just looking at the receipt, now there was that
they were on special for a four pack of the
Brunswick in soy oil, and that was nine dollars fifty

(01:11:07):
seems fair.

Speaker 20 (01:11:08):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 14 (01:11:09):
I reckon the other item I bought. I like them
with the red onions.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Yes, me too, look me too, I think ye. A
bit of tomato, a bit of red onion on thin vogels.
I think that's that's probably as good as anything you
eat that. Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 14 (01:11:21):
I was looking at the red onion it cost me.
There was sixty seven cents, which is probably you know,
the red onion's going four dollars eighty to a kilogram,
where the ordinary onion had been down to almost a
dollar of kilogram.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
A little war back, but there is, there is, there is.
There are light light years between a brod onion a
red onion is a tremendous thing, isn't it. I mean
there's something very special about that.

Speaker 14 (01:11:45):
Yeah, no, no, with four times surprise. I noticed on
the receipt there a bottle of clean skin shirt and
a eight dollars and nineteen cents, so you can see
I'm a big spender.

Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Good time, good time in the main cave. By the
sounds of it, Lurry, I've got a run on fortune.
But nice to talk to you too. Thank you for that.
Keep in touch of you want. There's an interesting email
here which reminds me about the last time we talked
about dB Cooper, and I'll read this to you. It's
about four away from ten o'clock, just about dB Cooper
on this day in nineteen seventy one when he hijacked
that plane, Hi Marcus. The aircraft was a Boeing seven

(01:12:21):
to seven that had a set of boarding stairs in
the tail section. These stairs could be lowered in flight.
After the Cooper event, Boeing added an external lot called
a Cooper Van that was moved by the slipstream into
a position that prevented the stairs from operating. McDonald douglas

(01:12:45):
added a similar vein to the DC nine chairs alistair
from Perth. So it became to the stage that it
wasn't as easy to jump off, although I presume I
could still could you open a passenger or I don't
know the answers to that, but you so I remember
that time last time we talked about dB Cooper, but
someone had brought that information up. And that's for every

(01:13:06):
interesting to me, because for a while in the seventies
everyone was hijacking everything. There was the Achille Laro that
was offered for political reasons but also for for monetary
gain or also for bragging rights, I suppose. But it's
a pretty interesting kind of a case, this one. There's

(01:13:29):
pretty identicate pictures of him, the guy McCoy that Ben
talked about was killed after he was caught and killed
after escaping prison. There's other people who have said that
people would be him. Family members and stuff have dobbed
people in. But yeah, I think there was an FBI
file on him. I'm not quite sure if they've got

(01:13:50):
access to that. Ten oh seven Good Evening people. I
wasn't quite sure what that guy was talking about. The
Cooper vane on the back of planes, but with the vein,
it means it's something that's when the planes in flight,
a bit of met on the outside blows across to
prevent the stairs from opening. That's why I hadn't really
fully understood so reading that. So thank you for that
person that's sent that through. By the way too, there's

(01:14:10):
going to be one of the biggest cranes in the
country is lifted on Thursday. This is then wid one
of the biggest crane lifts in New Zealand. It's called
the Tay of the Inger Bridge. I don't know if
it's I presume it's a footbridge. I don't know if

(01:14:30):
I'm right about there on a single lane bridge. So
there we go. Yes, so a big day for there's
crane obsessives there probably is. Yep. That of course the
community was the community was disrupted with those floods in

(01:14:51):
twenty twenty two. It's what's happening with that. I haven't
really spent enough time in whide Oor to know what
happens with bridges there, but there's four communities it's accessing.
So an important thing that's happening, and it's happening on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Just so you know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
And get in touch of your talk on e tonight.
My name is Marcus Welcome. The number is eight hundred
and eighty eighty and nine to nine to the text.
You want to come and talk about that, Peter, Good evening.
It's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:15:25):
Hey, I just see you talking about the bridge. Yeah, Hi,
up between Fraser Town and Timmy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Rot there on it on on that got the map
up as we talk. Oh so it's actually out of town.
It's out of town.

Speaker 10 (01:15:40):
Yeah, it's out between Fraser Town and Timmy Rot.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
So it's a it's a it's a it's a bridge
for cars, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, crappy. Okay. So
so Fraser Town's on the bend of a river, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
So what's what's happening. What's happening now? Is in o
bridge there, there's.

Speaker 10 (01:16:01):
A bridge there. We didn't have a bridge, prage is.
We had to go right around to pick up stop
from the farmers down the lake road. Took a couple
of hours ago around.

Speaker 9 (01:16:10):
Actually it was a pain of a pump copy.

Speaker 10 (01:16:12):
But they've got a restricted.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
Weight for it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
I wonder why they've gone for such a complicated bridge
like that, because normally build bridges in place, don't you.

Speaker 10 (01:16:21):
Yeah, yeah, so it actually sort of goes over the
top of the waterport, literally doesn't so when you came
just when you're going over it on the it's quite
a big waterport years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
So would that be what you call the Fraser Town
Bridge or is a different bridge?

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:16:40):
Yeah, there's not much out.

Speaker 9 (01:16:41):
It's funny.

Really now, Marcus, I've got a pretty probably a big
day for them.

line of work, would you?

Speaker 10 (01:16:59):
Yeah, I can't livestock, Oh yeah, yeah.

well up the River from where I was. So you

(01:18:21):
go from Frasertown, you go through Maru Maru and RTE
up all the Bendy River and there it is Tedyanger
Bridge temporary closed in the falls are just below it.
Brilliant You're Dave Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:18:37):
I'm August. Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
Okay, loud and clear, receiving you really well.

Speaker 7 (01:18:42):
Fantastic look I've just started, just tuned in and Phrasetown Bridge.
My dad built their bridge back on the mid to
late sixties year.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
It's always exciting when your dad builds a bridge.

Speaker 4 (01:18:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
Well he worked out a Hawks Bay as a bridge
building and he did a lot of bridges up and
down the coast. I I was actually born and born
in Wild grew up in Fraisetown, and I'd never been
there in my life. And about eight or nine years ago,
my cousin was managing the Tokemo to pub Yep Toakomo

(01:19:23):
Bay and they had a big New Year's gig on there.
So me and a whole lot of cousins went up,
and on the way back, my partner and myself decided
we'd turned off at war and going to have a
look at Phrasetown because I'd never been there and I
heard a knocked around there the first three years of
my life. Yep, I went to I went to the

(01:19:45):
pub first to get a bit of local information. And
this this, this of funny sideline. There was no one
in the public about till the afternoon. There was one
woman asleep at a table. I stood at the calendar
for for a long time, and and it's making enough

(01:20:07):
noise for someone to eventually come around. It was a
beautiful sunny day, let's say it was till now and then,
and no one came for so long would have been
at least a couple of minutes at least. And then
I thought, I wonder, so I walked over over to
the table, and sure enough the woman woman slept at
the table with the basketard. Wow, she's just it was

(01:20:29):
so quiet. She was having a little map in the afternoons. Yeah,
but she she knew very little about it. But I
did notice that puzzle felt about two years before the
bridge started building being built in the bridge was built
in the late I think the bridge was started about
sixty seven sixty eight and finished and finished in about
seventy And because I heard some some sort of stories

(01:20:53):
about the goings on. Of course, I came home and
did a bit of a bit of looked in a
few books at some dates and stuff, and of course
the six box Swell thing that I believe that finished
in late sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Yeah, I think you're right, of course.

Speaker 7 (01:21:07):
Yes, So I mean, what what a time for Kiwi
guys to be away from home building just when the
local club now know it's no longer finished at six
it went through to whatever time it did, because I've
heard stories about how guys back in the day still
drink like it was going to shout at six, you know,
So there was a there was a lot of a
lot of hell raising gown on as.

Speaker 16 (01:21:27):
You get reckon.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
I'm not an entrepreneur and I'm not a drinker, but
I reckon right. And so how old are you, Dave.

Speaker 17 (01:21:38):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:21:38):
I was born in sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
Okay, if you opened up a bar right that replicated
at six o'clock closing, I reckon there'd be some nostalgic
people to want to give it a go to drink
as much as you. I mean, you probably have trouble
with the with the liquor board, but you know, what
that must be like you drink as much as you
like till six o'clock. They're nothing. I mean, people probably

(01:22:00):
want to give it a go.

Speaker 7 (01:22:02):
Oh, Like I tell you, you've touched on something very
close to homely because I'm not. I'm not a big drinker.
While I was, I hadn't been for the last eight
or nine years. And I sang on the on the guy,
where's the get.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
At the Yeah, yeah, I get that, the.

Speaker 7 (01:22:19):
Teamrow stuff and get around and saying yeah, but but
here's the thing. Well, I was watching something the other
day and I had an idea, and I put it
to my partyship as man. But you know, over in
the States, they got over in Texas and Arizona, they
got those I think they call them. They call them
the pink towns where it's where it's the cowboy theme
and the whole town is you know, really really just

(01:22:40):
all about reliving that that old, you know, eighteen seventy
cow pok day kind of lifestyle of saloons and the.

Speaker 17 (01:22:47):
Bat went doors.

Speaker 7 (01:22:48):
Yet well I hadn't. I thought, what if you got
one of those towns and then you bought some cars
and you put governors on them so they only did
about forty k's and then and please bear with me,
then had a theme where they would drink driving towns

(01:23:10):
so you can come in, you could paste, you could
pay suit them out, you could go into and all
these cars had roll cages and you know, we're very secure.

Speaker 22 (01:23:20):
But of course they wouldn't do it.

Speaker 7 (01:23:22):
They wouldn't do any more than say thirty cage. And
you could just go around a pub corps around these
saloons and get in your cars and obviously away times.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Yeah, look at the beard be like the old times.
Why are they called pink town's Dave?

Speaker 9 (01:23:38):
Oh, look, I'm not sure.

Speaker 7 (01:23:39):
I dated an American woman. She told me all about
them because because she she told me about the country things.
And you said, if you go to Arizona, and I
know this place is in Arizona, Prince Texas too, then
they have you know, the whole towns are set up
and there's guys getting around and cowboy gear.

Speaker 3 (01:23:53):
And you don't know what you said, you said, it's
a pink town, right.

Speaker 7 (01:23:57):
Well, I think it might be something to do with
the you know, the landscape.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
That understand the slender, yeah, pink splendor.

Speaker 9 (01:24:07):
I think it was.

Speaker 7 (01:24:08):
I think there was also a derogatory part about it too,
because it was guys getting around pretending to be cowboys
that were just dressed up.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
But yeah, yeah, was your father making all the bridges
with a concrete construction?

Speaker 7 (01:24:24):
Yeah yeah, I've even got some fail. I came across
and Foss he passed through about nine years ago, and
I found some of those old slides, you know, circular
no sorry, not circular things that they're in a small
squared container. Yeah, and look the only way you can
rid their black and white, and they could if you're
kind of back to front. When I put them up
to the light and I realized, wow, this is some
neat And he's actually taken photos of of the bridge

(01:24:46):
builds with the trucks and all the lifting rigging gear,
and it's it's a real I mean, I'm in construction myself,
and seeing the way they did stuff and got you know,
guys getting around in short shorts and siglets with shows on.
You know, now, oh my god, they'd shut the place down.

Speaker 11 (01:25:03):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:25:03):
It's all long lungs and hard house and lauds and
glasses and everything on construction. So I say, guys, but
here it was a real war wish.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
Make me nice to talk guy, thanks so much. The
eighteen past in Hello, No, no, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:25:18):
Hello there, Marcus a liar, good thank you. I just
I'm bringing my own rules here, which is never discussed politics,
religion or football. But I'm going there. Just I thought
the announcement this with the with the local politician, the

(01:25:41):
prime minister trying to tell us to vote for him
and all of that, and it was that he wants
to be like Australian in terms of the of the
the retirement fund.

Speaker 9 (01:25:52):
Yes, and.

Speaker 5 (01:25:55):
From what I understood, and that could be wrong, and
I please correct me, but he said that the twelve percent,
the twelve percent from where to do what he said
it was like six percent of the employee in six
percent of the employer. I have worked in Australia, and

(01:26:16):
that at that time was ten percent that they put
on when we discussed the rates and the money that
you're going to get Bay. The stuff that wasn't mentioned,
no I heard for me was what was for me?
It was like a bonus, like what I'm going to
get ten percent on top of that whatever it was.

(01:26:36):
And it's like but now this guy here is saying that, yeah,
we're going to increase twelve percent by six percent from
the employee and six percent from the employee. Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
That's my understanding. But I heard an expert on from
the University Economics department who said that it was nowhere
near like the Australian situation. It was incredibly different. And
the fact that it wasn't compulsory. I mean, twenty percent
of people have no savings, which would drive disparity, so
it's sort of the criticism. The criticism was was it

(01:27:10):
was policy on the hoof to labor that was going
to come up with anything, and it was poorly thought
out and probably unworkable.

Speaker 5 (01:27:19):
Okay, okay, so so you're yea, yeah, you're you're yeah,
that's what I thought. I thought it was a bit
of a corn Yeah, very much, very much. And it
was in six percent six percent, that's not that's not
twelve percent, that's six percent of my wages. Yeah, and
that you know like it. It felt a bit like

(01:27:40):
I worked in London as well many years ago, and
the tips came to your pocket. You used to get
played buggerol from the bosses, but the tips were straight
into your pocket and then they introduced the medium wage
England did and what did the bosses do was still

(01:28:01):
plays the same, which was pretty nasty, and then include
the tips as are playing and then tax it on it.
So we were actually worse off because it was better
when we got played buggeroll and then the tips were cash.
Then everything comes out of the bundle and you will

(01:28:24):
get text on it. So yeah, it didn't. Yeah, it
sounded like complete conduct in Australia. I didn't even discuss
the ten percent. It was like when when they told
me you're going to get two percent of that, it
was like, whoa Christmas?

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
I think too, the results of all that money being
invested in Australia, it means that they have huge amounts
of money for major infrastructure projects because they've got this
so investment rich as a country on the back of that,
which is you know, it's been a hugely successful thing.
And of course it was what they were going to do.
But muldoone, there was a compulsory super Ski of the seventies,

(01:29:05):
but they got freaked out and stopped it. But yeah,
and then we would have been if that had gone through,
we would have been unbelievably wealthy. But yeah, I'll find
the Actually, I don't know why I can't find the
articles on this. Actually there's a whole of information picked
before it. Oh yes, yeah, I'll see how I and

(01:29:25):
get some information about how much that. I think it
was six and six, but I'll find out more if
I can find it. Yeah, David's Marcus. Good evening here, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
What happened was that? Was that BECKA Muldoon's day where
we had compulsory super or savings?

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
Yeah, it wasn't there for long. I think the government
before Maldoon god had had it and then he got
it and got there was Norman Kirk's government had introduced
it and Maldoon got in straight away with dancing Cossacks
and said it was communistic or something and got rid
of it. But people had done the numbers. If that
had been a success, that would have been unbelievable. The
country would have been very different.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Well, Australia has got trillion trillions dollars in the for annuation.
I know that as a fact, and the country.

Speaker 16 (01:30:10):
Well, you know, it's doing very well.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
Not to just say it's wrong with its resources and such,
but their compulsory superannuation is an absolute success from what
I know, and I do have money over there from.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
My working over there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
And I think both sides, both the conserv and the
liberal governments or labor and whatever they call the Conservatives,
you know, it's across the board and everyone's for into
it would never be touched.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Marcus. I do have concerns about the compulsory super and
because do any of us really trust the government to
keep their dirty mits offered? I question, I wonder about
that on either part.

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
Yeah, but are you saying not touching your key we
saver as well?

Speaker 22 (01:30:55):
Well, yes, and.

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Mucking around with it, you know, like adjusting it like
has just recently happened with contributions, et cetera. Now, Marcus,
I've got an appointment tomorrow. I thought, you know, Garden
City Dental at eleven fifty five mid day tomorrow, two
three seven bills, get my tooth fixed up being chewing

(01:31:20):
gum and sucking on habital lozenge. And the other thing
I was going to just mention was the bloke caller
before before about the Dodgem cars when we used to
be there six o'clock brings back memories. I had a
nineteen sixty nine in Falcon five hundred and the saying
used to be bugger out and know how got home

(01:31:42):
because it was with one eye closed in the scoop
of the front of the bonnet of the falcon. I
used to keep on the center line. That's how I
used to get home sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
How much would you drink? How much would you drink
in that hour from five to six?

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Well, a few jugs, a few liters that say, we
used to roll.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
Back then it can be going quite quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
Yes, you wouldn't muck around. You get a downy head,
get us to get a down it broke. And you
know what, Marcus, I think that attitude for us and
this generation without my generation, that throw it down your
head as quick as you can prevails.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
Not with me.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
I've given it up and have it done for several years.
But you get it down and the scull it down,
and it just seems to be that way. Not of
this new modern young generation. I think they've knocked on
the head, but they.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
Don't say to you, is thirsty? Tell me something. You
snapped your molar and it was really sharp. Did you
file it down?

Speaker 11 (01:32:37):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
I brushed it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
I brushed the budjigiery out of it and both slides
of the toothbrush and blundered it, and also in chewing
gum and also habitrol lozenge, and it seems to take
the edge.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Thought it was fairly good advice. There was people claiming
to be there are people claiming to be dentists. I
was quite encouraged by that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
Hey, Marcus, the files that I had you wouldn't put
anywhere near your mouth.

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Give it David. They've given you a tomorrow.

Speaker 16 (01:33:07):
Tomorrow is the date for that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
That's serious.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
You don't know that it'll be a couple of HUNDI
won't it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
I think it'll be. Yes, I'm expecting more than that, actually,
but I just quietly, in case someone from Garden City
Dental was listening, I'm expecting more than.

Speaker 14 (01:33:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:30):
Yeah, the nation holds its breath for you and your
dender work. I'm pleased with the good advite. I'm please,
just saud and cheery about that. That's made minight. Someone's
texting me. The vote to stop the six closing was
in the twenty sixty seven. Someone says, sorry, pocket call well,
appreciate that the bridge is at today terry Yanger falls.
It's pretty cool, Marcus tayleying a bridge key to travel

(01:33:58):
into the rua Katuti Valley car ride a loop, can
ride a loop around to a hookah and into the
Lake Road Highway through the Great Revel ride on the
KTM six ninety in Duro Magic Dwader Front Country. Thank
you for that. Also, there was a call beforehand about
an email before about people changing Airbnb bookings. Marc's had

(01:34:22):
advised to rebook the same Airbnb pony it pay only
that deposit, then message them to say it'd like the
original price, or report them. Airbnb support can offer compensation
sometimes too. That's Emma, Marcus. Really the best is scared.
Most products have always been manufactured using Aspeci's only probit's
dusty and inhaled. This is this is sand that kids

(01:34:42):
play with. So kids, these are two and three year olds.
It'll be in the hand to be everywhere, Marcus. My
late dad purchased all the stock from an old super
value supermarket when I was a young fellow. The manager
happily sold on these Bulgarian sardines as they weren't great sellers.

Speaker 24 (01:34:58):
Loll.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
The Ford prefixed station end was loaded to the hilt.
Oh my god, we had the delicious sardines for at
least twelve months. Shame you can't buy them anymore. Great,
get in touch people, do you want to, Marcus, can't
buy any decent tinder sparagus anymore? No more from what
is even the Pam's brand is a product of China

(01:35:20):
and you need three or four spears to make a
decent spare role. I actually don't know how you'd make
them with a real asparagus because the sort of tin
ones had that softness. Please discuss marks is a fun
fact for list This is something to consider ahead of
the next election for any party that does push for

(01:35:42):
larger super contributions. Total value of Australia super funds four
point three trillion dollars one hundred and fifty six thousand
per Australian total value key, we save a fund twenty
three thousand per News Islander. Oh sorry, the total values
islands key. We save a one hundred and twenty three billion,

(01:36:02):
which is twenty three thousand per News Islander. It's plain
as the nose in your face that we need to
increase contributions. Marcus, have you tried the new baron Auckland
s CBDA. There see five dollars fijo of cocktails at
night I must try. We had some fijo are cordial drink.
That's all the rage at home and I don't know
what it was, but with cea periris a TikTok thing

(01:36:23):
wasn't bad. Sour fijo anyone know what that is? Went
to Pike River Movie today. Highly recommend Lily anyway, do
get in touch Marcus or twelve twenty five to eleven.
I'm just I've been thinking quite a lot over the
weekend about the cricket too. Just f yi, because poor Perth.

(01:36:45):
If I'm getting for a five day party was over
in two days, there'd be and a lot of those
people that was their trip to England. Sorry to Australia
for that. The English there was the one test they
were going to and they're changing their flights to go
back home. So that's. Oh, it's extraordinary, isn't it. I
think it's the third quickest test ever or the quickest
eshes test. But yeah, I just reading a lot of

(01:37:05):
the discussion and comments from the likes of Jeffrey Boycott,
I haven't really good because obviously their coaches Brendan McCallum,
I haven't actually heard bears ball properly explained to me.
If so, I might try, might try explain that. It
seems to me the attitude is just be a bit

(01:37:26):
cocky and behave a bit recklessly. Is that what it is?
If you want to explain that to me, I would
be curious. But this is gonna this could be a
career end if it If they go to the boxing
day test three zero down, it's not going to be

(01:37:47):
financially good, is it. So yeah, anyway, I know we're
on sports show, but I have been mindful of that
since since as I sat here on Friday just getting
so with it on the TV. I was so excited
for test cricket of that caliber and that excitement to
see fifty one thousand of the opening to of a
cricket Test is extraordinary because that is the great cricket.

(01:38:07):
That's what the cricket lovers love too much. This twenty
twenty and fifty to fifty with it just looked like it,
but yeah, it was. It was just that collapse on
the next day was unbelievable. Anyway, let's put that out
there amongst my many topics for tonight. But you might
want to comment on that fresh asparagus the best for
asparagus roll steam for a couple of minutes delish. Marcus,

(01:38:31):
what's your thoughts on the social media band for teens
under sixteen in Australia? A mental physical well being coach
based in Australia. I think it's a brilliant idea and
all I think it's a real earlier no more counts
ow as a teen sitting in the room, and more
time outside and with family hopefully.

Speaker 5 (01:38:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:47):
I've got a child who's eleven asking for a cell phone,
and he's a really fair minded kid too. He does
want one, and I said I'd rather you didn't, but
I said, if we got to get you the phone,
they got to band it. Anyway. Not much you can
deal with it without social media. But what has happened

(01:39:09):
I think, and certainly the people I know, is that
parents that say their kids children won't have phones have
given them phones because it makes parenting easier because you
know where there are Because these days, with children being
so busy with after school activities which are all fluid
with strikes and weather and stuff like that, you do,

(01:39:29):
you know it's handy to know and be able to
text the children and say, hey, look, such and such
is taking you to sport tonight because we're not going
to be there. So I can see why people have
gone with phones. They're convenient. I tried to get mckinnapager.
He was less than interested. I couldn't sell him that
has been retro chic. And I tried to convince him

(01:39:50):
about an Apple Watch, but he wasn't keen on that either,
so he got nothing. And then you get the school bus.
Everyone's on their phone. Well that's not exciting, it is it?
Other the school bus they'll be playing what's that game
they're always go on about? You know those games should pay?

(01:40:10):
What do you play on busses? Anyway? I can't remember
what it's called. But yeah, I thought the the bus
drips would be quite dramatic. But no, not at all,
not at all actually, But yeah, I thought there was
going to be the thing, but nope, everyone's on their
phone watching TikTok king Asini is what I was thinking of.

(01:40:33):
Or bull Rush That's what I thought they're playing on
the bus, But no, all on their phones. I'm sure
the bus drivers love. It makes everything a lot more tame.
Nineteen to eleven Here til twelve. Craig's Black Doris plumb
Gem no longer available discontinued. Thanks for that. Oh that's

(01:40:55):
my favorite tech. Sorry pocket call Phil? How could that
work be a part of Hurtel twelve nineteen to eleven?
So let me reintroduce the topics people, But at seventeen
from eleven we've talked about a lot of different things.
Tonight it is well a couple of things. I need
to tell you. It is Sardine Day, International Sardine Day

(01:41:15):
or National Sardine Day or something like that. It's the
day to celebrate sardines and I'm all in on sardines.
I love them. If I could have one advent calendar
would be Sardine Advent Calendar. Amazing source of B twelve
and a mega fatty escids. They're polarizing food. A lot
of people will be in relationships and their partner does
not like sardines or that's just something that happens my

(01:41:37):
I'm a big fan also of Anchovs. There used to
be a pizza parlor and you plumouth Sharky's so that
did a pizza with there WHI yet it was good, unforgettable?
Anyho it is Sardine Day, and someone said it's great
to do them with an asparagus role, but with a

(01:41:58):
sardine instead of asparagus with some tomato sauce. But anyway,
that's been one of the topics for tonight sardines. Also
to the other thing about today, every day is a day.
This is also the day it's celebrate your unique talent day. Now,
if you got a unique talent, I'm curious to hear

(01:42:19):
what it is. Have I got a unique talent? I
don't think I have. I guess to think about unique talents,
you don't have to. I guess you don't really know
if you've got them or not, do you? But yeah,
well there we go. If you might want to share
with me some of you unique talents, as I say,
I don't know what they are. And the third thing

(01:42:40):
that I was mentioning as far as days, it's also
dB Cooper day. The guy that jumped out of the
planet known as everyone with a parachute. It was the
middle of the night, but no one ever found. They
think probably killed himself on the jump, but no parachute
was found. He might have had accompasses on the ground,
But how would you find someone jumping out of a
plane at night. I mean he would have known where

(01:43:02):
he was jumping before GPS. So yes, that's what we've
been talking about tonight. Also to the masting, the flex,
the flex flowering in the cabbagetry, which is amazing this year.
You might want to mention that the Duffel coats having
a moment. That is back in the UK everyone's wearing

(01:43:22):
Duffel coats or they just call them Duffels, so expect
that to happen our winter don't feel like Duffle coat
weather now, does it. That's taught we are discussing tonight.
So if you want to any of these topics, I
embrace your calls. People, get in touch. Eight hundred eighty
eight and known to nine two detext. There's something different

(01:43:43):
you want to mention. I don't know what that is tonight,
but I'm up for anything but to talk about compulsory
super or about the national superinnuations, well the changing and
also some discussion on the sand. There's new brands of
sand from Kmart that appear to be containing asbestos. It's

(01:44:05):
surprising they have haven't told us how long those stands
have been available. For lot of information I don't think
we've had yet, but all that would be of interest
to me. But now they're talking about a class action
against Kmart under the Consumer Guarantees Act and they're solent
that they sold seventy thousand units or something. I mean,
if there's going to be a class action, all those

(01:44:25):
houses need to be I don't know what the word
is that have to be. You have to have all
the asbestos, you know, deep cleaned or and it involves
removing carpets and curtains and upholstery and all sorts of stuff.
So it would yeah, that would be extraordinary. So that's

(01:44:47):
some of the stuff we have discussed tonight if you
want to join on these topics or something different than
good for a church. The other thing too, it's big
at the moment, is the Whitney Houston drum Beat Challenge.
This is big on TikTok and what it involves is
people hitting the drum at the right time before the

(01:45:07):
final chorus of I Will Always Love You. And it's
harder than it looks. I can't go kat for nine
seconds yep. So you listen to the song and you've
got to hit your drum or clap at the exact
instance that that happened in the song. I think there
was a one in a while ago with Phil Collins
with his drum solo. It's one of the great moments
of a song of all songs. So there we go. Yeah,

(01:45:30):
give me give me a bit, give me the bit,
the end of that bit, in the beginning of the
next bit, and I'll see.

Speaker 18 (01:45:34):
When it came.

Speaker 24 (01:45:35):
What of oments I wish you love?

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
Yeah, I think I forgot most do it once again,
Dani saffiningly did a bit better this time?

Speaker 24 (01:45:56):
And happy news? Whatever of oments I wish you love?

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
Im about three seconds earlier that time. Just one more time, Dan,
I'm not gonna it looud. I'm too embarrassed by this words.

Speaker 24 (01:46:20):
And happy news? What above omit I wish you love?

Speaker 16 (01:46:36):
Got it?

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
Got it a micro not quite not quite slightly, But
that's exciting. It's not doing the triple clapturing friends, anyway,
Thanks for that, Dan, Nine away from eleven. Someone has
asked on the text, what is the average price for
a Christmas tree around the country? Is sixty five bucks
too much for a six foot tree?

Speaker 18 (01:46:59):
Thoughts?

Speaker 3 (01:46:59):
Well, I think down south, and I've got to say
that we have wilding pines and mid Dome costing twelve
million dollars to a move. So yeah, I think what
you want to do is get yourself one of those ones.
And I think people are giving away those pines to
stop them spreading. I don't love a pine because everyone

(01:47:20):
goes on a holiday. Then about five weeks say this
is the old brown dump pine outside the house. But
I don't know what the prices. We'll look into it.
So yeah, sixty five dollars. I think I've had things
that have been that expensive.

Speaker 12 (01:47:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
Got a question regarding all the new suburbs popping up
everywhere like pimples, Whom, what or how is it determined
as to which end of a brand new street is
the beginning and the end. The rule of thumbs and
days gone by was the Manchester gritted all the number
one mailbox of staff for the Central post Office. It
seems more random these days. If anyone knows if that's

(01:47:54):
still true. I'd be curious, is it from the Central
post Office? At the way they name the streets? Good evening, Soundra,
This is Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:48:07):
Good evening, Marcus. I've just got a load of nonsense, really.

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
Oh god, oh good, thank you for that.

Speaker 13 (01:48:16):
The last of the body snatches and out of ebody
experience when my soul jumped out when you played that
most beautiful song that I absolutely love and you played
it loud.

Speaker 24 (01:48:35):
And how did you?

Speaker 17 (01:48:37):
How did you?

Speaker 3 (01:48:37):
How did you go with a drum hurt because it
sort of goes between the beats, doesn't it?

Speaker 23 (01:48:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:48:43):
Oh beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and I was like a soaring
above the Southern Alps and transferred to in z jew In,
which is Queenstown, which I love.

Speaker 3 (01:48:59):
I think the question is more answering. Did you get
the timing right of Winter hit the drum?

Speaker 13 (01:49:06):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:49:08):
Sure I could play to Gaby what but thank you? Sandra? Hello, Maxisst.
Marcus welcome, Oh good a Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:49:18):
Hey, just listening to the discussion about sardines. I was
when I seem to remember, you know, because I'm seventy
three or so, and I seem to remember about nineteen
sixty five or so, when when I was younger and
I started getting into sardines. I think it was Brunswick.
You had a key, there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Was a yes, a key. You had a key in
your role, the key with.

Speaker 17 (01:49:44):
The tin and you had to get it straight, and
then you you open the tin with the key, and
I think a lot of that. The thing with sardines
for me is I've never really been that fuss on them,
but I used to love getting the key and it
was kind of like, I.

Speaker 3 (01:50:02):
Don't know, it was I suppose, you know, meg some
had a key and some had a ring that you
just pull.

Speaker 17 (01:50:10):
Yeah, back then, I didn't ever see the ring.

Speaker 3 (01:50:13):
No, No, the key was always the one. Then the
ring pool came in later.

Speaker 17 (01:50:17):
I think, Oh, the key was exciting things. Oh, if
you didn't get the key straight, it didn't go too
well any other thing you had. You had to be
very very careful when you open the tin because it
was absolutely deadly sharp.

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
It was like a raisor blade.

Speaker 17 (01:50:34):
But the key was exciting, was it was kindy.

Speaker 3 (01:50:37):
You had to be perfectly perpendicular too. You couldn't miss around,
you couldn't do it in a hurry. Yet to really
take that set. Often you couldn't find the key because
you dropped it. But yeah, if you because the key
was underneath the wrapper, I think, and that would sometimes
get dislodged.

Speaker 17 (01:50:51):
It was like the secret key, wasn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:50:53):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:50:54):
Yeah, And you wind it around, you wind it and
wind it away. Brilliant.

Speaker 17 (01:51:00):
Yeah, I can see that you're a key man, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:51:02):
Well, I'm going back there. It's been a while since
I've had the keys. I loved the key. Yeah, I
love how foods come with a key.

Speaker 17 (01:51:11):
Won't have the animas. This is the point, hardly any
It's quite disgusting really that they did away with it,
you know, because you know, because like I said, I
wasn't very enthusiastic, but I always used to enjoy, you know,
rip that rapper off. All there is the key, get

(01:51:32):
the thing open, and.

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
Hang on back. So I only got twenty eight seconds.
I think corn beef is to have a key.

Speaker 17 (01:51:40):
Oh corn beef had a key, Yes, yeah, I think
it did. But it wasn't the same as the sading. No,
the Sardins had that. They took the cake as fare well,
so to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
I agree. I think that might be the card topic
for the next hour, as food with the keys. We'll
see how you can get there might be more than
two greetings and welcome people. My name is Akus Hittle,
twelve seven past eleven, joy or texts. We're talking about
foods with keys, Marcus, I spent thirty minutes last night
trying to open the tomato sauce and the can and

(01:52:13):
the taar broke off. My cat opener broke halfway through
and had had to improvise and use the kitchen knife.
May as well buy the bottle version. Very dangerous opening
anything with a kitchen knife. I've tried that myself. I
thought jep as creepers. That could go so bad if
your hands slipped down as you try to open something
with that knife. Of when a can just opens halfway,

(01:52:34):
Oh we'll I go the kitchen knife. Marcus Hellaby corn
beef and the square can still uses the key, edbro
thanks for telling your listeners about the Duffel coat coming back.
I had a fairbest one in nineteen eighty one when
my husband I toured the UK and you're in a campervan.
I just about lived in mine. I'll be getting one

(01:52:54):
next year when they roll it here in Endz, even
though I'm seventy three. It had horizontal type wooden peg buttons.
To me, that's the key of the Duffel is that. Lord,
what would you describe of that shape? It's a rounded
bit of wood that's pointed at both ends. It fits
through the bit of wool to fasten the Duffel coat.

(01:53:18):
It's a great thing, the Duffel coat with a hood. Marcus, yes, Marcus, yes, Marcus.
The drum comes in on six weeks instead of four,
so you're correct in calling it offbeat on four four timing.
That's the thing to be many prize givings this year
at school. They'll be having one of the teachers up

(01:53:39):
to hit the dram at the right spot. It's become
a thing. Now here's something really interesting that I thought
was interesting to tell you. Actually going to turn this
into a question. Don't look it up, but do you
know what is We're coming into cherry season. Can't come

(01:53:59):
quick enough for me. I love a cherry, But just
out of interest, could you describe could you tell me,
according to the upkeepers of etiquette, what the correct way

(01:54:21):
to eat a cherry is? Because I just was watching
that on Facebook and I was very much surprised to
see what the correct way was. And I'm curious to
know if I am unenlightened on this or you people
could tell me what is the correct correct way to
eat a cheery? Because I myself was very surprised by

(01:54:41):
what is the correct way to eat it? It looks
quite ridiculous to me. So if you want to comment
on that, if you've got something to say about that. Yeah,
I don't know if I can find the file again
of it, but yes, the right way to eat a cherry?
Very much surprised. I thought I knew it all today,
but no, I have no idea about this. So if

(01:55:02):
you want to try and see if you want what
you want to say about that, that would be of
interest to me. I'd google up. I can't really spell etiquette,
but what do you think the right way to eat
a cherry would be? Have a guess of this because
I was real surprised as the result. No, I can't
find the damn post, but I think so how to
formally eat a cherry? Because I think you'd be surprised.
And I've it in thousands of cherries and I've never

(01:55:24):
managed to do it this way. I've never evidente it
this way. But yeah, I'll be curious to know what
you think of the right way it is. I'm just
rewatching the video because I'm so surprised by it. I'm
still surprised by it, Pauline, this is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:55:39):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:55:41):
Now that's just a guess. But a knife and fork, they're.

Speaker 3 (01:55:48):
Funny the blue bloods because you can't use a knife
with bread. So maybe, no, it's not, it's not. It's
it's even more, it's even more arcane and surprising than that.
But yeah, I mean, I imagine you could try with
a knife and fork. No, it's.

Speaker 11 (01:56:01):
I won't tell me.

Speaker 3 (01:56:04):
Let's say if anyone could tell me, if you can
tell me, or have a guess, not looking up, have
a guess? What is the right etiquette? The right manner?
I try trying to think of the euphemism for etiquette,
the right a well educated way to eat a cherry.
If you've gone to Buckingham Palace for cherries, how would

(01:56:26):
you eat them? These are fresh cherries, not ones in
a tin. By the way, the thing that we're talking
about on the Duffel coat is a toggle. A toggle.
I don't know why they're better than a button. A
short rod or wood some into one side of a coat,

(01:56:46):
pushed through a hole and twisted to act as a fastener.
That's a toggle. But we're onto cherries. Who can tell
me the right way to eat a cherry? A lot
of texts about toggles. They are called toggles. I think
they wouldn't. I got Todd toggles markets. The button is
a toggle. I love my Duffel coat as a teenage.
It was made in England. Head and the tops wow

(01:57:08):
was lotus green cheers from chart and the River City goodness.
That does sound up market and antler toggle. So who
wants to have a guessed on how to eat a
cherry the right way? Because I think once I tell you,
you'd be very much surprised at the answer. In my
wildest dreams, I never would have guessed it. It seems
so arcane, ifin't. I have to watch the video again

(01:57:30):
just to remind myself that's the right way. I can't
remember a password. Oh so I've still got on the
right page. So eight hundred eighty ten eighty O wait
I wait o one O wait oh, just to go
back to the old fashioned number. You'll be very surprised.
Tell you, I need a few more guesses. I look
at what the text I want to and you don't

(01:57:52):
eat it the same way in the elephant one bite
at a time. No you don't. Yes, it's a very
surprising way to eat it. And Normally I'm pretty up
to on etiquettebout how to do things, but the cherry's
got me bamboozled. So if never there's no fries, because
there's never prizes apart from the butter for our sweep
steak with the rugby being touched market store midnight tonight cherries,

(01:58:16):
this could be your rear talent. I do know those
people that could put a whole cheery in their mouth
with the stalk and then tire not with it. I
think I might start practicing that this summer. I've gotta
go do those damn blinders, don't we When are they
gonna be done by? Forgotten about those in a good way.
I think it's quite a bit of notice. That's when
you go to say, oh, I'm on holiday. But it's

(01:58:39):
the bane of every broadcast is existence. Every time you's
get rid of for Christmas, you guys think of witty
things to say with your liners. Good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:58:48):
Neil him wouldn't be baked in a pie with it.

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
No, it's not baked in a pie. It's something to wait.
It's yeah, you know, it's not baked in a pie.
Cherry pie is really nice. All our twin peaks. But yes,
no one's got it right from the text is either
there's a very specific way to eat a cherry that

(01:59:14):
the etiquette people will recommend, but don't look it up.
I'm curious to know if you can actually rationally guess,
rationally guess this to show. I wish i'd listen to
the show, cause I'd love to guess. I don't know
how I'd tried to guess, but I wouldn't have guessed this.
I would have guessed wrong anyway, jumping if you talk
one of its Marcus welcome texts nine two nine two,

(01:59:37):
we are talking cherries and foods. Were the keys? What
are the foods? Use keys to open? I think it's
just sardines and tin beef. Did we think of another? No,
I don't know what would have happened in the past
with keys.

Speaker 6 (01:59:56):
Do do do do do do?

Speaker 13 (01:59:57):
Do?

Speaker 9 (01:59:59):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:00:00):
Spam. You don't see much spam anymore, do you? I
think in the past coffee had keys. M in military rations.
It's been a long time since I've eaten military rations.
In fact, I've never eaten military rations. H Pete, it's Marcus.
Good evening, and then Marcus, all your.

Speaker 25 (02:00:20):
Cherries dies over in the holland there and I was
picking them over there. I was playing my ring a
little attacked there and pick the cherries at night time.
And basically, yeah, a little stalk on you see. So
when you when you're picking, when you want to eat them,
you know, you put them in there, put them in

(02:00:40):
pain and from that, and then what you do is
you always wash them all the chemicals or whatever was,
make sure you eat them on the stalk, a little
stalk they come off, and you put them off the mine,
put the thing off the free say you see it
stays that stays north himself, you know, nobvioce know the
top is north. That's the steam of it. And then

(02:01:04):
you see the little hooked east and west and then
that's facing mouth and the market.

Speaker 3 (02:01:12):
What was about the north and east and west?

Speaker 25 (02:01:22):
Them off to day and and you put it in
your mouth and you eat them, don't you.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
Well I always did. That's why I'm surprised. I mean
what I would do because we quite we had a
lot of cherries. We'll always go cherry picking and I
have a mouthful of pips, and that's what part of
the fun thing of it. But there's a very specific
way to eat them, and a very specific way. Deemster
says corned beef has a key. She is right. I've
seen people eating cherries with toothpicks. That's not quite right anyway.

(02:01:49):
If you think you can guess that this won't give
me a call, thanks Bete. So the right way to
eat a cherry, right according to the etiquette experts, is
you remove the stalk from the cherry, and you put
the cherry in your mouth and eat the fleshy part
around the stone. And then once you've done that, you

(02:02:11):
spit the stone into a clenched fist. So you take
your clenched fist up to your mouth and you spit
the stone into the clenched fist. I'm staggered by this. Also,
you spin the stone into the clenched fist and then

(02:02:32):
which is made with your non dominant hand, so for me,
that would be my left hand, and you spit into
that your non dominant hand, and then you tip the
pip from that hole you've made your fist onto your plate.
Now that's uncomplicated, no idea that would be a thing.

(02:02:53):
So there we go. My mission is complete. I've learnt
something tonight. Brilliant Marcus I use an olive stone. Remember
to remove the cherry stones before give them my grand
chill Marcaus my mother's ninety three sh group on I
from the South. They would cut in half and deep

(02:03:13):
then eat them polite way via them. No, that's not right, though,
someone said this is riveting. Will it come out in print?
As the same person said, the country is called New Zealand.
Exclamation mark, exclamation mark? Good evening, Christus is Marcus welcome?

Speaker 22 (02:03:29):
That's your night going?

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
Yeah? Good thing you, Chris, real good.

Speaker 22 (02:03:34):
Hey, just wondering you're talking about sardines and all that. Yeah,
I won't think if you've seen a documentary on Netflix
it's called.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
Sea Sporusy No I haven't.

Speaker 22 (02:03:46):
It's all about the fisheries around the world and what's
actually happening in the background.

Speaker 17 (02:03:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:03:53):
I was always a big fan of sardines on post
and you have to get fish and chips on a
Friday and that sort of thing. I watched this program
the other night, and I will no longer eat anything.
I haven't caught myself as far as fishes concerned, from a.

Speaker 3 (02:04:08):
From a sustainability point of view or from a health
point of view, both really.

Speaker 22 (02:04:16):
Yeah, No, it blew me away watching it. Just some
of the statistics of this guy's found dug up and
some of the places that are there to so called
for canis from the ocean just follow the money trail
and it's just so scary.

Speaker 3 (02:04:32):
So what's the problem with sardine's Because all the information
I can see as they are sustainable and they are
kind of an ethical food to eat. But what's the
documentary say?

Speaker 22 (02:04:42):
Basically, it's any any sort of fish that's caught. They
call it sustainability because they are only to catch a
certain amount. But what they don't cover is the bike
bike by catching that gets caught at the same time.

Speaker 12 (02:04:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:04:58):
Just yeah, Like for every staday, you get the amount
of other animals that are that are caught and just
thrown away, And they basically did who are time they
throw them away?

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
Does actually? Does does actually specify? Start? Couldn't? I can't
imagine to be much by catch when it came to
sardines because they're all kind of together, aren't they in
big flocks schools?

Speaker 22 (02:05:17):
Yeah, but the problem is they have to circle the
school with basically a net that goes from the surface
to the floor off the feet.

Speaker 9 (02:05:25):
Sure, and anything anything within that.

Speaker 22 (02:05:28):
So any of your predators that are eating the sardines,
because sardines will only come on the surface when they're chase,
So they're getting predators chasing them and they're all getting
caught with the beat.

Speaker 3 (02:05:40):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (02:05:43):
But yeah, like I.

Speaker 22 (02:05:44):
Said, I was a big fan of sart, specially sardines.
But yeah, they're just really opened my eyes that they're
documentary ap.

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
So it's called See Spiracy. It's on Netflix.

Speaker 22 (02:05:56):
That's correct.

Speaker 3 (02:05:57):
Okay, appreciate that, Chris, thank you. We're ruined there any anyway,
twenty four I'm sure I could find you will Yeah,
look what do I say to that?

Speaker 6 (02:06:08):
Don't know?

Speaker 3 (02:06:08):
I'll watch it twenty four to twelve. If you want
to be a part of the show, Marcus till midnight tonight.
I'll read you the story properly about the motorcycles, because
I've been a push back from text saying it's not
a true story. I know the reporter, he's straight up.
Ossie Rider's expensive end to Kiwi Holiday have to be
nabbed speeding at one nine nine kilometers per hour. Says
it was shaping up as a routine shift. When Senior
comes to with Nayland, Smith was passed by a speeding

(02:06:30):
motorbike and then another. The Mortimer based officer was patrolling
State Hiway ate the Amatimer Linda's Pass road when his
marked police vehicle was overtaken by the pair of touring
bikes on Monday morning a marked police vehicle. While the
first was clocked at one three five kilometers prowl, the
following motorcycles was clocked at one nine to nine, with

(02:06:52):
the pair passing several trucks once pulled over the later
the letter received a dressing down from Smith over the
excessive speed. I was pretty wild. There was no reason
for it, Smith said. Smith told Stuff he had never
pulled over in one traveling as fast as the motorcyclist.
Both motorcyclists were on holiday news in and from New
South Wales, with a pair due to fly back to

(02:07:14):
Australia that next day. That would be an additional headache
for the fast of the pair, who was fined six
thirty dollars while his license was ultimately suspended for twenty
eight days. His flight from christ Church was due to
part at three pm and the bus options would have
caused him to miss that flight. Last I heard of him.
He was looking at catching an uber, so the uber

(02:07:36):
would have come from Queenstown or Warnacker. The uber fair
was likely to cost more than the man's flight home.
Smith noted the man's traveling companion wasn't confident enough to
take his friend on his motorcycle. Wow. That also meant
the man had to arrange for the BMWR twelve hundred
to be trans transported from the Amatama Police station to

(02:07:59):
the Christitch based rental company. Psmith said the consequence for
traveling at that speed were twofold. You are either dead,
We're going to be able to pocket a couple of
grand at the end of it all, if he's not
worried about his life, maybe he should be righted in
his pockets. In September, Stuff reported that two officers are
regularly patrolled this part of State High eight issued more
than two five hundred infringement notices for the year ending

(02:08:21):
June thirty, with the overwhelming majority to foreign drivers on
State Highway eight. State Hiway eight includes Queenstown, Lakes and
Mackenzie Country districts, which has the first and second highest
percentage of crashes involving foreign tourists over the same period.
It probably words worth avoiding. I would think of the

(02:08:44):
if the tourists are driving the driving that barely I
think too. In some ways this is not an excuse,
but I think too, With the landscape so grand and majestic,
you might think you're traveling as fast as you are,
which sounds weird, doesn't it. And the reason I've read
that out because Marcus Haid is bullshit about the driver

(02:09:05):
going one night and three would be impossible under our
stringent hs SE law combined with modern safety features. Go
think about it. If you are legally savvy enough, well
there's the whole article, so go read it yourself if
you like. I'm not quite sure what your point is.
Eighteen to twelve If you want to talk, ma, name
is Marcus head on midnight, Pretty quick, pretty quick, one

(02:09:28):
hundred and ninety nine k's I guess he was rushing
for the flight. I don't know why they've lost so
much time. And there's even a photo in the article
of the the numbers on the cops on deck speed
thing and a photo of the guy he's pulled over,
even on the red jo It's a fairly reputable article,

(02:09:51):
so is how far did the police go to catch
up to them pull them over. I don't know about that.
That was a good question. How far would those police
cars go. They wouldn't go nearly that fast, would they.
I don't even know how far? How quickly allowed to
You've got a phone head office to ask for permission
to pursue them, No, don't you. And she got one
of those special cop cars to pursue speeders. I think
that's the thing of myth. You bet, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (02:10:15):
Oh, good evening, matehouse things.

Speaker 3 (02:10:17):
Good bet yourself?

Speaker 15 (02:10:19):
Yeah good. I just want to talk to you about
foods that need a key.

Speaker 13 (02:10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:10:24):
It was around Easter time and my eleven year old
daughter decided to lock all their Easter eggs in my
safe and somehow not somehow knocked the patteres out of
the bag of it and we couldn't get into it.
And I had a chocolate craving one Sunday and you
had to use the key to get into it.

Speaker 1 (02:10:40):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:10:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So why she locked them on the way?
You locked them in the safe?

Speaker 15 (02:10:47):
Keep them away from me? Ah if she hides them
in there, you see. So they're all locked away, nice
and safe and no one can get them see and.

Speaker 3 (02:10:54):
Then what happened to the Did she lose the key?

Speaker 15 (02:10:56):
Well, at the back of the safe is a little
weed plastic thing that holds the batteries in and when
they fall out, so she must have slammed the door closed.
It can sometimes pop off the battery. That means the
pen won't work good.

Speaker 3 (02:11:09):
That's quite that's quite complicated. Okay. I think I've seen
those in hotels have either got safety.

Speaker 20 (02:11:14):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:11:15):
There was a bet tree. Yeah, what's the safe? Four bits?

Speaker 15 (02:11:21):
It's not it's not for keeping cashing, that's for sure.
I think I just saw a cheap one of the shop.
It'll do me, that'll that'll make me look rich.

Speaker 3 (02:11:31):
I think everyone thinks about having a safe, but then
you've got to sort of sit, ye, sit in concrete
and do all sorts of things, don't you?

Speaker 12 (02:11:37):
You do?

Speaker 9 (02:11:37):
You do?

Speaker 15 (02:11:38):
I mean this safety you can take it out of
my wardrobe and walk home with it yourself. Yeah, it
wouldn't be one of the great it wouldn't be one
of the great safe fusting stories to talk about.

Speaker 3 (02:11:46):
So it's you that love the chocolate these three is
not your daughter?

Speaker 11 (02:11:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (02:11:49):
Yeah, yeah, me, I got the craving, and yeah, we
couldn't get into it, so I had to use the key.

Speaker 3 (02:11:54):
Appreciate that bet, thank you so much at fifteen to twelve.
So this text has come back, you know around. My
point is, under that our HS legislation, you authorities would
need to provide a reason for a motorcycle to be
able to do that speed on a public road. You muppet,
I still understand what you're saying. Sorry, I've read that again.

(02:12:16):
My point is, under our HC legislation, you authority backet
authorities would need to provide a reason from motorbike to
elder that speed on a public road. You muppet. I
don't you understand the story, because don't understand what the
point is you've made. It wasn't the officer that was
going that fast. It wasn't a cop on a motorbike.

(02:12:37):
The guy was going to try to speed limit on
a motorbike, a rented BMW. That's a story. It's pretty straightforward,
I think. So, yeah, I don't really, but yeah, I
don't think you can call someone a muppet. I think
that's sound particularly interesting.
