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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be reading's welcome eight to Wait. My name is
Marcus Head on Midnight Lot to Say, A Long Time
to Say a Boom. Listening to Natasha bedding Field Unwritten,
which is a strange song. I didn't know if I
knew it or not, but I recognize it quite well
and I've probably sung along it to the radio. Why
am I listening to that? Because I am reading an
article about a scientist in the United Kingdom, the UK,

(00:32):
the kingdom that's united has come up right. This is
the guy. It's a man. It's a man. He's an Oxford.
He's a mathematician. He's come up with a formula to
find out right the best karaoke song to sing to
guarantee good evening. He's devised a formula combines a number

(00:53):
of verses, the repetition of chorus, the beats permitted in
the year the song was released, to find out the
very best songs to sing it karaoke. I thought number
one would be bet Mid of the Rose because it's
always good, but it's not number one. Living on a Prayer,
bon Jovi Whitney Houston. I want to Dance with Somebody.

(01:14):
Number two, don't look back at Angle? What a great
song that is? At a number three? That is Oasis
number four, men, I Feel like a Woman Number five,
five hundred miles, The Proclaimers six, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme a
man after Eba seven unwritten Anatasha Battenfield, the one didn't
know Adele, someone like you want to be spice girls,
let me love you Mario. There we go by the
way is a Pack and Safe Today? To the gym

(01:34):
next door to Pack and say they were playing Culture
Club tonight, Come and Come a Chameleon, And I thought, wow,
and it sounded quite relevant, and I thought, has ever music?
Has there ever been a period in time we've listened
to music that spanned so many decades? And I thought,

(01:58):
what would be the equivalent of that? Right, what would
be the equivalent of us? And that would be the
equivalent of in nineteen eighty one listening and singing along
to Julie Garland over the Rainbow, a song from nineteen
forty So, yeah, what's that about? I think kind of
has come to music. It's all kind of stayed still,
has it? If you can understand my thinking anyway, Well

(02:22):
I feel better. I've got that out of my chest,
off my chest, out of my chest, off my chest,
Ozzie Osborne. A lot of talk about that today and
what a legend and all that, YadA yadia, and much
will be said about that working class hero and certainly

(02:42):
the greatest thing ever to come out of Birmingham. Can
we say that? I think so beloved there, totally beloved,
love that concert. To watch quite a bit of that
two weekends ago, and I'm glad I did. He was
the prince of darkness, which is a good moniker, I suppose.
But let's stop and reflect on the courage tired to

(03:08):
bite the head off a live bat. I mean, what
we know now when the when the bats are the
worst creatures ever as a victor for spreading disease, you
have to be a brave, brave, brave or out of
it man to buy the bite the head off a
live bat. Goodness me, I don't know how you can
go one better that, maybe by bite the head off
a pangulin. But that's a big story anyway, so let's

(03:33):
just reflect on that. Also. I don't know if he
regretted that because it came in some ways to define
his career. I don't think that was I don't think
that it was apophrycal. I think he actually did that.
Someone will know. Maybe it was fake, maybe it was
a pretend. But anyway, what an extraordinary thing to do.

(03:53):
Got me thinking about the most outrageous thing I've done.
And I'll tell you what it would meaned is as
outrageous as biting the head off a bat. And it's
probably a time now to sit and reflect on the
most outrageou thing you've ever done. Would there be one thing?
Would most people in their life have one thing which

(04:15):
was the most outrageous thing? Have you stopped and reflected on?
It might take me some time for me to reflect
on that. And the other thing about the most outrageous
thing you've ever done is whether you can remember doing it.
That's the other thing too, because that's different also. So anyway,
there we go. Oh, by the way, the new Faery

(04:39):
has its first sailing tonight, the Livia. Terrible name for
a ship. So when it says freight only, I don't
know if that means that we truck is on board.
If there is, let us know. It's a very poor

(05:01):
article on stuff. It doesn't say much information at all.
But anyway, that's sailing tonight. She have a freight only
sailing at eight thirty, so therese ship people on that.
Let us know and let us know how the passages.
I think you got your own rooms, are you, Scott Marcus?

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Welcome, Good evening, Good evening, Marcus, just calling to talk
about a Ozzie.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
But great, well done, Thank you, welcome.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Thanks. I was at the Back to the Beginning concert
a few weeks ago in Boomingham.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Really true story.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
What time did you get there?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
What time did I get there?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
You about ten in the morning.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
You saw the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Um.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, at the time I was, I was astounded how
good young Blood was.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I mean I didn't know a lot about him.
I knew he's kind of a wrapper, and he was
I think he kind of I was actually talking to
someone about this yesterday, obviously before we knew Ozzie had died.
But I said that here was a guy that kind
of came on with this raw vocal power, and I
said young I said young Blood's performance at Back to

(06:20):
the Beginning as the preddy Mercury at lave Out of
our generation.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
No doubt about it. And it was such a good song.
And because he came out and he's got that sort
of background, has been a bit sort of a drogynist,
a bit David Bowie like I kind of. And I
was looking at a remix of the video today to
see just how well that kind of died. And the
wool crowd responded to him. Was it quite slower? They
up for it straight away because he sort of was
the unknown, wasn't he.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
I mean, I guess a lot of people knew his name,
but I mean I didn't really know any of his
music before. And I mean the thing was that concept
was such a phenomenal lineup, you know, even if Ozzie
and Black Sabbath rint there, you know, it was still
a you know, probably the best, one of the best
concert lineups of all time. And so during the day,
you know, and obviously a lot of the people that

(07:10):
would perform, who were performing was you know, no one
had advanced people from the Smashing Pumpkins and Rage against
the Machine and Metallica and guns and roses and that
kind of thing. But there was a few surprises who
just popped up during the day and he was one
of them and he came out and I think people
just kind of thought, what's this guy doing on stage?
I mean thirty seconds lady, everyone was like, this is incredible. Wow.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
He had the crowd on his hand, the way he moves,
It's not often someone commands a stage like that. But anyway, Hey,
what was the venue like? Was it good? Was it
suitable for it.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
To be honest? Yes and no. I mean it was
obviously a very special place for them to have it
being the you know, the home of the aston Villa
soccer club, which is obviously I guess it would be like,
you know, a New Zealand man playing at Mount mart
because of the Warriors.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, you know, but.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
No, logistically it was not a great place for a
concert because they just they didn't have the right infrastructure there.
So we had ceedar tickets, which we were right at
the top and so you kind of went in through
the bottom of the stand through these turnstiles, get up
about four flights of stairs because it's an old school stadium,
you know, and it's only really you know, it's only

(08:21):
really set up for you know, soccer games of people
are there for an hour and a half or something
and so like the tops. So the section of the
stand we were and we could only get access to
one corridor, you know, with toilets, and in that whole corridor,
and you know, there must have been three or four thousand,
maybe more people in the section we were in people

(08:43):
and for the whole day there was only two places
in there selling food.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
And now we're going to ask about that. Yeah, okay,
so you quite You couldn't go where everywhere. You were
stuck there exactly.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And so in the two places selling food, they had
cornish pasties and they had packets of chips and chocolate
bars and that was it, you know, and they were
they were run out most of the time. So it
was very much if people were just getting something for
halftime at a soccer game, you know, that's fine. But
if you're in there for twelve.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Hours, yeah there's a little to have. Any cornish pasties
you can have because they are a bit of a
stomach anchor and they lie heavy.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I love a cornish pasty. But the trouble was you
go there and they're so say, sorry, we've run out,
we're waiting for some more. I mean, they'd get a
few more and they'd run out straight away, and I mean,
I'm I'm not a drinker, but people were saying, you know,
they were spending over an hour and learning to get there.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
How did you happen to get tickets to it?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well? When it got announced last year, I think it
was last year that I got announced, I saw it.
And as soon as I saw it, because I worked
up on a friend in England had texted me the
post that and I said, I'm going to that. There's
no way I'm not going to that. But and a
second I'll tell you about another constant experience with that attitude.
But my attitude is always that if you want something

(09:59):
bad enough and you put it, you know, if you
take the risk, putch in favor of the brave, and
it's going to work out. And I got lucky a
few weeks ago because they release some tickets. I mean
how it works for most conferences. You know, they put
on the general sale and they say, all right, we're
selling forty tickets or whatever it is, but we're keeping

(10:22):
back a certain amount of sections because we're going to
see what the visibility is actually like when the stage
is up, and you know, we need to have the tickets,
we need to say, for the guest list or whatever,
and they release them and I just happened to be
online when they release them and I got some. But
but regardless, I would have shine up and chound something

(10:42):
in the day.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, So he's the ultimate for you as the Osborne
is the guy that you would go to. He's the
one that you travel half the half the half the
world for.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
He's up, he's up there. But I think it's don't
I think his influence on you know, heavy metal and
rock music, you know, it can't be understated really.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
And also to its interesting art f mim because he's
reinvents himself in so many ways. Has he's not just
done that and sort of steep doing it, he's kind
of shown interesting in different dimensions to himself and also
showed himself on that very serious, kind of quite serious
genre of music. He showed himself to be sort of
a lighthearted guy.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And obviously pioneering with the whole
kind of reality tavy thing with that one TV show.
Oh your question before about inviting the bat off stage.
So my understanding which he's talked, I guess he's probably
nice about this a million times, but when someone threw
the bat on stage, he thought it was, you know,
like a plastic toy, and so he just put it

(11:47):
as not realizing it was real.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wow, that's a big moment when you realize that you've
bet the head off is real. That's quite something, isn't it.
And I think he probably got a raby shot afterwards.
People have told with that and that's probably something also.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I mean I don't think anyone would expect a
live bat to laying on stage.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Really blamed was his performance because he was in the throne?
Did it diminish him to you? Or did it? Was
it just fine? Is that what you expected?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's I mean, I think it's what pretty much everyone expected,
you know, like I've seen Ozzie in the past was
Black Sabbath and by himself and and I think, you know,
knowing that he had Parkinson's and you know, and that
he's very much in oldergo who's I guess the life
of excess is called out? Was like I think everyone

(12:37):
knew he wasn't who wasn't going to be performing like
he was twenty years ago, you know, but it was
and I would say it was better sweet, like it was,
you know, fantastic seeing him out there again, you know,
and a lot of other people obviously like his Black
Sabbath fand mates, but all sorts of special guests that
came out, you know, And most people there aren't young blood.

(13:02):
They're not in their twenties or at their early thirties
and at their peak, you know. And I don't think
anyone expected that, and it was it was sad seeing him,
you know, sucking the chair and not have been ever
to around and go crazy like he used to. But
but you could see that he was so happy to
be back on stage, you know, and happy to be
performing again and to be out with his bandmates, and

(13:25):
it was a bittersweet.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
The only downfall for me watching it was Jack Black
and Jason Momoa. But Jason Momoa was a bit try
hard and Jack Black always rubs me up the wrong
way anyway. But that's fine. That was only that was
there was only the two lulls for me.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, I think my biggest surprise of the day was
the young Word, obviously, because he was fantastic. What a
Steven Tyler yeap, you know, And and people after that
performance was saying why, you know, why is Aerosmiths. You know,
this guy should still be on stage. He was phenomenal
for what someone in the seventies and he played with

(14:03):
you know, Runwood from the Rolling Stones who came out
as well. So it was just it was this who's
who were you know to who's who have rock and roll? Early?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Did the giant ball get up to where you were?
You'd be feel bad about that, wouldn't you? Scott up
there with your corners Besty not be able to get
down with the hoyploi.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'm not up to standing up for twelve hours a day,
so I was quite happy. I have a seat and
watched the screens. But the I went for that, and
I also went because I wanted to see Oasis in England.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh you're joking. Were you at the Were you at
the show where they actually held hands or the one
where they just acknowledged each other by waving? Or were
how many consetts of there being? Were you at Wembley
or are you in Wales or in Manchester?

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I was in Manchester? Okay, the no, I mean they
held hands and they're hugged. I think they do that
at every well.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
They did the first they did at the first rue, Okay,
so that they certainly are getting on better. It's not
going to last for much longer, is it.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
How do you mean, well, they'll they'll fall out soon,
weren't they?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I don't think so. I think after sixteen years, you know,
people generally tend to grow up. And I think I
think kind of judging from their actions on the screen
for that, people are just you know, you can tell
these guys who are like, you know, we created what's
really a cultural phenomenon. Like I don't think you could
understate how big Oasis were or how big Oasis are

(15:31):
in the UK, you know, like when I was there,
every news channel, every newspaper, everything was Oasis. That was
I've never seen anything like that for a bandol.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I guess what were the ages of the blacks of
the Ozzy Osborne audience compared to the Oasis audience, Because
the Oasis audience looked quite young, like the twenties and thirties.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
I mean, I mean there was a real mix at both,
you know, like at Ozzie, I'll say probably the average
age was older because you know, I mean, blacks eficles
are banned from the sixteen and seventies so obviously, you know,
they had people that have been listening to them since then,
you know, people like Ozzie's age kind of thing, whereas Oasis,
the band from the nineties, kind of went up to

(16:14):
people in their fifties. I'd say Oasis, most people there
were between where they're in their thirties and forties, you know,
people that had grown up with them in high school
like I did. But also you know a different amount
of I guess how would I put this? So I
guess teenagers. You know that the kids of the people

(16:35):
that grow us always the first time if.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
We discover it. But could you hear Oasis singing? We
just hear the people next year singing allowed themselves. That's
what I was wondering about, because everyone was singing along,
weren't they.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes. I went to two shows. Well, the first one
I couldn't get tickets from, but it was in this
outdoor park, so you could hear everything and you could
just you know, there's certain songs where you could just
you could barely hear the band because the crowd was
it because the crowd.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
Was that allowed.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
And the other one, you hear, the PA was more
empt towards you wasn't.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, I guess so. And I was actually inside
the venue, yeah, I guess from when I was outside,
I was kind of we were kind of behind with
the stage, so I guess that didn't to a degree
as well. But the other one, I was, you know,
up the front, so I could hear the stage more,
hear the PA more clearly.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Were you surprised to hear about Ozzie Osborne's death today
or is that that not surprised you?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, I no, I'm not surprised. I mean, and I think,
you know, like I, you know, I was following kind
of you know groups for the you know, for the
concert on Facebook and man and people were saying that
OSI's going to die on stage, you know, which would
have been a very oddsy way to go out. But

(17:55):
you know, but but seeing him up there, you could
tell how incredibly frail he was, and that it's a
miracle he's lasted as long as he has. And I
think that, you know, it's I think it's quite a
well known phenomenon. People often, you know, that are coming
to the end of their life, and they know they're
coming to the end of their life, you know, they
kind of hold on you know, for that last Christmas

(18:16):
or that last wind anniversary, or you know that last
big thing that they're kind of holding out for. You know, say,
I'm going to make it to this, and I think
he probably one of the things is like, I'm going
to be on stage one more time. I'm going to
say goodbye to the fans in person.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Good live with this, Scott. I mean that you'd be
the longest time ever I've ever talked. Pretty well, I
appreciate you coming through. Scott's a great start to show
for me. So yeah, thanks for answering the questions, and
thanks bringing up pretty generous of you. Never ever at
a concert of I felt like a cornish pesty and
that's been the only what do you say? The other
thing you could have was Dan chips? They say chips.
Recall goodness me, you're doing a long twelve hour session.

(18:56):
You want something slightly more umsy, you know these days
you probably want I don't know what you'd want. Goodness,
we weren't drinking a bit of beer as well, wouldn't
you brant a cornish? We look quite hot and anyway,
lines are free only mentioned the bat and I already
get a text about Wuhan first text through do you
still believe the virus didn't come from the wu Han lab?
That's not quite right. Are you still believing COVID didn't

(19:19):
come from the wu Han lab? Goodness, Get in touch,
Marc is still to I don't quite know what we're
on about it. I am talking happier to about oz Osborne.
But it's an outrageous thing to do with the bat.
But that was good. I didn't realize it was thrown
on stage. It's a great thing to take and throw
on stage actually for that sort of act. That's funny. Anyway,
welcome to it. Get in touch. Stop talking about it,

(19:40):
Nichola Willison. Do something about it with the supermarkets because
people are getting sick of your call about the supermarkets.
If you can do something, do something, if you don't
shut up about it, because you're stringing people along and
people are doing it tough. Anyway, Get in touch, Marcus
Till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two to text, Yes, Ozzie Osborne, you'r
comment on that. You will have seen him live. So

(20:01):
we played Wellington two thousand and three. I think also
played Nam Bessa S three. It's a long range, that's
forty years. The Ambassa, of course had the fiery Cross.
I think it was an ambassad I think the first
and Ambassa was why he. I think that's where it was.
So you might have been at that one that they'd
be good to get a call from that one or

(20:22):
someone that was there at Wellington. I think it was
two thousand and three. It was part of a festival.
I think they had them for a while. They're like
metal kind of festivals. I kind of think I might
have been there that week. I didn't go for some
silly reason. Maybe it came in two thousand and eight.
So if you want to mention that, to keep in touch,

(20:42):
oh eight hundred and eighty twenty nine, two nine to
tix Markels, to have anything else you want to talk about,
two feel free come through. Let me think what else
I need to tell you about tonight. No, but if
there is breaking usual here about it here first I
can promise you that, just so you know, you're not
going to miss the world passing by as you tuned
in to the station. So we will do what we can.
We are talking about Black Sabbath Ozsie Osbourne. I don't

(21:11):
know if there's footage when he played at Ambessment. It's
a shame that all those things weren't filmed because they'd
be good to see some of those old concerts. That
would be fantastic archive. I mean they filmed all of
things like Woodstock. I don't know why they didn't film
the whole situation at nam Bessa. Maybe they didn't have

(21:31):
the technology. But anyway, do come through. I you want
to talk about Ozzy Osbourne, that's what we are right
about tonight. You might have been to that content you
I watched the other TV. There might be something you
want to say about that and his legacy, anything else
you want to mention. I feel free to come through.
There are lines, They're free. Thanks very much to you,
Scott for coming through and tecking up that first half hour.
Cornish pesty. The one thing about the Cornish pesty, there

(21:53):
is a good one. That's the Cornish pesty that's two
thirds cornish pest. And then you've got sort of cake
or app Then you've got sort of apple or plums
in the last I think that's called a cobbler. That's
the one with a whole meal on the dessert and won.
That's quite a good thing. You get hold of one
of those. You got to go to small particular towns
in the UK to find those, if you're a food tourist.

(22:13):
Thing it's called like a bush, the cobbler or something.
Some of them will know. I've never had the pleasure
of having one anyway, so I don't think Scott would
have had one of those. But if you had one
of those, that would have been something something cobbler. Something

(22:35):
is it called a cobbler? I did google it for
a while back to work out what it was. Anyway,
you might have something to say about that, but do
come through if you want to. What were we talk about yesterday?
What a goodhow yesday? Didn't we people stayed on topic
for a while? Our senior video games?

Speaker 8 (22:54):
That was.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Anyway, I don't know what the cobbler's called. Someone will
text me, no doubt, Calvin Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (23:09):
I never even watched Black Sabbath, but in recent months
there's been a TV program which I follow. It had
Ozzy Osborne on it with his wife. Did you see
it at all?

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well, I mean he's been around in reality TV through
the years, hasn't.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
He yeah, but this program. When you're looking at the screen,
his wife was on the left, a big leather arm chair.
He was in the middle now again her dog would
come along. On the right hand side was their son,
who had a bit of a shorter short of bed.
And the program I can't remember exactly what it was called,

(23:48):
but it was all about sort of like UFOs and
paranormal and ghosts and all that sort of thing, and
the sun. Then he was sitting here showing the bits
and pieces of film footage, and old Ozzie was sitting
down the air and half the time he'd go to sleep,

(24:08):
and you know his hard case. Alright. I really enjoyed
the program.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's a funny thing for a god that always seemed
only halfway there because he seems so out of it
or sort of partially comatized. Everyone always found him recompelling
with those reality shows. I can't quite work out why.
I think because you didn't you didn't really know what
he was going to do next.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Well, anybody who liked him, I would recommend that they
try and track down this program. It's only just finished
in recent weeks. It was on once a week, and
do you know what it was now it was something like,
well it featured UFOs and paranormal and.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
And would he just would he comment if he thought
it was real or not?

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah, that's right, and his wife, most of them have
about ninety percent of the things. His wife thought it
was real, and I had ninety percent of the things.
Oh Ossie thought it was just a I can't think
of the word there. But he didn't think it was
real at all, you know.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Because the way you talk about the way don't take
this the wrong way, Calvin, but the way you talk
about it doesn't sound that compelling. But it must have been.
It must be one of the because I see it's
got very good reviews. It must have been quite a
compelling kind of a show. The Osborne's want to believe. Yes,
that's that's that's it.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
I'd recommend that it was very very good. He's a
real hard case.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
What channel will we on? It'd be a.

Speaker 9 (25:36):
Well it was on just on freeview, So I can't
remember what you know? No, no, now I can't remember there.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Have you had a Lemington today, Calvinda, I don't know.
Is it? Peck and save? Just before I can well,
I'll just grab a sneaky Lemington. I could see Belgians,
I could see ice buns, I could see peck and save.
Is not a good hunting ground for a lemo Ah.
I should have I should have gone to what's it
called now? The one you're like Woolworth?

Speaker 9 (26:06):
Yeah, yeah, we'll all said, Well, I just got here
because it's sennarious one. The other one I used to go,
who would win it? The closest one, but it's closed
down about a year ago and a private, private one
has taken over. But no, the islemic ands are good.
I'm off to the supermarket tomorrow Thursday, so I'll get that.

(26:27):
I'm a shopping list.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Do you have a list?

Speaker 9 (26:30):
Well? I never used to, but the last year I
have I do a list. I go twice a week,
Monday and Thursday.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Did you read us your list?

Speaker 9 (26:40):
Well, I haven't made the list yet. But when I go,
when I go to the Delhi, get them, you know,
chicken or whatever for sandwiches. They have little pieces of chicken.
Must have been yesterday's hot roast chickens. They pulled the pieces,
you know. So I get that and then a few bananas,
and then down the other end of the shop I

(27:00):
get bread. Sometimes crumpets. I like those big square crumpets.
Yea more around one. I like the big scure.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
And it's very much it very much is crumpet season,
isn't it. You know all the all the displays are out.
The giant black crumpet man, he's in the aisles. It's
very much crumpet time now, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (27:16):
Then cheese, grated cheese I buy, And then packets of
a little there's a new one of Discalon's only one
hundred and twenty five grams of bacon. I have that.
I have that for one meal.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, will unless you with some butter for your crumpets.

Speaker 9 (27:33):
No, I don't have butter.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
No, no, we none of us have it anymore.

Speaker 9 (27:38):
It's a long time, a long time ago when I
bought butter, but I just get I buy. I think
it's called meadow Lee buttery.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Oh yeah, meadow Lee buttery.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I thought I thought you'd get gee kill Vender.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
David what I did see yesterday and the milk and
cream and castard. There was a little small hang on.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Yes yesterday was a supermarket day? Was it?

Speaker 9 (28:02):
No Monday?

Speaker 7 (28:03):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (28:03):
Yeah, yeah, Monday. It's a little cube square packet, cardboard packet,
I've custard made from. It wasn't an animal product. It
was made from a vegetable stuff. I can't recorner. I've
never ever seen it before.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh what do you think that was?

Speaker 9 (28:27):
It was custard, yeah, casted on a little square packet,
you know, already made up liquid and it was now
what is the word?

Speaker 8 (28:41):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Astronaut food? That's I was thinking of those prepackaged things.

Speaker 9 (28:45):
No, no, no, no, it would have been just like
the ordinary pre already made up custards. But it was
a small, a small one. I've never seen it for.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I'll keep an eye for I'm going to run Kelvin.
Thank you. By the way. The thing I was thinking
about is called the Bedford sure Klinger. That is the
that is the Cornish pesty with the apple pie or
plum pie down one end savory filling one end sweet
at the other for the coal miners to go onto

(29:16):
the mine, don't have to come up to have their lunch,
to just eat it down there with the pit ponies.
The other thing I was thinking about apropos nothing meat
pies two different flavors, now, aren't there Everyone's sort of
Jali pinot and this and that and this and cheese.
I think people just want to go back to the basics,
mince and steak. That's where the growth is. I think,

(29:36):
just do the basics. Well, it's become kind of crazy
with all the different avenues. Must be hard for the
bakeries to four of these and six of those and
nine of those and three of those. Yeah, I reckon
probably the pie price that come down, but they just
focused on one and did it. Well, that's what I'm
going to say there. Do you expect that to be
a trend in the future, people just going back to
the basics because it was Big Ben and Jimmy's. You

(30:00):
just get the meat pie. Wouldn't you just be mince
or steak? But now jeep is creep It's like a
pie me you anyway, that's just on the back of
Cornish pesties. Yadaya, Now get in touch. Seventeen away from nine.
Don't tell you know what we'll end up talking about tonight.
That does concern me, not one scir it because there

(30:25):
will be things that happened, There were things that people
want to talk about, and no doubt that might be you.
Oh the Blue Bridge if you've been on the Blue
Bridge around the Blue Bridge, I want to live cross
from that. The Livia. What a terrible name for a ship.
Every time I look at it, I think it's a misspelling.
Olivia replaced the straight Ferrohnia and also take over from

(30:49):
the Connor Mara. She goes into the dry dock. Anyway,
that's the situation. The rooms look pretty standard. I'd like
in a ship. I'd like my beard on a gimbal,
so you stay level when the ship moves. The only
time I've just been on a container ship, I was

(31:10):
on a bed on a gimbal. Is that the right word?
Very RESTful, jeepess, well oiled Bluebridge doing it right exactly well?
How far away of our fair has even got them yet? Marcus?
Interesting fact about the Grunish panties for the coal miners.
The edges were crimped so the men could hold onto

(31:31):
them without getting poisoned. Is they had arsenic on their hands? Desiree?
What a lovely name. Desiree is Desiree? What'd they be
mining with arsenic? Was that something that was a byproduct
of coal? Or was there arstic in the coal mines?
I don't know too much about that. You still have

(31:56):
to hold them. They wouldn't you? Do you throw away?
You probably threw away the crimped edge Radu Marcus, welcome him, uncle,
my fans, right, my friend.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Romanian?

Speaker 10 (32:09):
Your Romanian friend?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yes, yes, my friend.

Speaker 10 (32:12):
Yeah, soon soon I'm going to mainland with Isaac for
North South shooting, going to report from Ferry.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Okay, are you going?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Are you a truck driver?

Speaker 8 (32:26):
No?

Speaker 10 (32:26):
No, no, no, I'm Isaac is going. We we have
a competition North South on target shooting.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
Yes, we're going in Blenham. Yeah, sorry, knows.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
And you're taking Are you taking the livery across?

Speaker 10 (32:41):
Are we taking Olivia Tess correctly?

Speaker 11 (32:43):
Right?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Wins there tomorrow?

Speaker 10 (32:45):
No, no, we'll be in two time.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Okay, I'd like to know about you take the firearms separately,
would you want? I don't know how you carry firearms
on this ship.

Speaker 8 (32:55):
Now we carry on.

Speaker 10 (32:56):
We see they are secure inside the car and we
declare it when we go to the ship and they
will put a special place for car with danger.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Was good?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
And what's your boys? He target shooter? Yes, I think
we've got some good target shooters down our part of
the country. I imagine they'd be good showing from south Landradu
the a good one.

Speaker 10 (33:19):
And what's competition between North and soun?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, okay, that's two weeks. Let us know you'd be
in touch. See we've got it all tonight. And what
a failed state the UK is that the obsequious brown
nose that David Beckham can get a knighthood but Ozzy
Osborne got nothing? Why was he not, Sir Osborne? I
he done more for Birmingham than anyone. He was one

(33:43):
of the great well yeah goodness me a pioneer of
a whole genre of music and they gave him nothing.
It seems as they've got to be someone sort of
hanging out with the royalty anyway. So that troubles me
a bit. I mean, in the in the scheme of things,
I'm not too concerned, But there we go. Why wasn't he, Sir?
I used to compete into school target shooting back in

(34:06):
high school. What a great sport of discipline. Meteor shot
straight over Bombay heading south. Wow, these are good texts, Marcus.
We are fed up with all the pies having cheese
in them, ruins the taste of the meat that exactly
why would you? Why would cheese and meat go together. Yeah,

(34:30):
cheese and meat never go together, do they? Apart from
a failed subway, why would you do that in a pie?
Someone's texting me, it says that's over in Westport. Oh,
that's in Westport when they're a clay target shooter. So

(34:52):
the meteor' got a meteor? If you've got a meteor,
go to that website. If you've got any camera footage.
What's it called? Dan, Fireballs, dot and Z And they
triangulate where it is because they get different people reporting
where they saw it, and they go and find them.
They found one in uh pig Root Way, so they've

(35:14):
actually because we haven't got well, I think we've only
found about a dozen meteors in this country, and they're
right onto it. Fireballs, dot in Z. Ed Marcus, I'm
a huge Black Sabbath fan. Those first four albums are
among the greatest of all time. The self titled album
was the first record I bought on vinyl. I went
to see him twice when they played at Victor Arena.

(35:34):
Great show, great band side note. Great debut in Tottenham's
pre season for Croatian youngster eighteen year old Luca Vaskovic
got a goal and assist in side ten minutes, so
I was looking good for Tottenham then a. As a
side note, Black Sabbath was named after an old movie
going by the same name. They're originally going by the
name Earth.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
This Day.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
In nineteen fifty two, Yvette Williams won the long jump
at Helsinki to become New Zealand's first female Olympic medalist.
Some will remember that ultimate karaoke songs. The guy's done
the formula, Yep, it's pretty obvious. You want to start

(36:22):
with Living on a Prayer. You also might like to
do Gimme, Gimme Gibbie, Oasis, Don't Look Back, an Anger,
or five hundred Miles the Proclaimers bon jo v gets
ninety one out of one hundred. There's an entire formula
the guys worked out. It's quite good. It looks like

(36:48):
it's been tested. Colors some good things. Also to the
Livia as sailing tonight. If you are on that, give
us an update if you can, and just what the
ship is like. We're looking for a ship review. Ship
review takes a while to get a ship ready, isn't it.
I guess they gotta all the signs and stuff or

(37:08):
the reconfiguration. But yeah, Ben touch, you want to be
part of the show, Marcus till twelve as I say,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Anything else you want
to work, feel free to come through. He till twelve
o'clock tonight. Daily Mail headline the bat bearheading, brummy boozehound

(37:30):
who died with presidents and played for the Queen. How
Sharon helped tame Rock's ultimate wild man after some legendary
legendary knights. There we go. God, I wonder what the
coffin will look like, imagined to be full of theatrics.

(37:52):
Marcus totally agree with what you said about the sicker
fat David Beckham getting a knighthood before I was the
Osborne All Beckham done, has suck up to royalty for
years to finally get it. James Bond Daniel Craig spotted
in Saint Helia's cafe today. Well strange suburb for the
aless to be Saint hillis, isn't It? Might have gone
walking or roll He might be a rollerblader. Get in

(38:14):
touch to you want to bang that one across down
on Glenny glennin Innie oh wait eighty today Glennis Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (38:22):
Hello, Michaels.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
How are you good, Glennas, How are you going?

Speaker 7 (38:24):
All right?

Speaker 5 (38:25):
Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 12 (38:27):
I've only just tuned on, so I'm not sure what's
going on with the Osborne.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
But I have died.

Speaker 12 (38:36):
I know he's a legend. I just love him to bits.
And I was looking up on Google today about his past.
He's had a dreadful past, yes, And I did see
that he tried to commit the suicide when he was
quite young.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
I did not know that.

Speaker 12 (38:58):
Yeah, and his father came into the bedroom and saw
him hanging with a bright around his neck and cut
him down. Oh hell, and then whipped him and gave
him a bit of a beating because his family were

(39:18):
not nice. And I thought that man had lots of issues.
And he left school at fifteen because he was started
to sleptic and he was bullied, and that's why I
think he wanted to end his life. And I was
I was actually surprised at his part.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
He went to prison too.

Speaker 12 (39:43):
Yes he did, Yes, he did for best. I don't
think that was very long. But I was amazed at
how share him. You know, I picked him up and
she went right through all that time with him, and
she was amazing with him. But yeah, sad life. I

(40:03):
just thought I didn't know about him trying to come
suicide and things like that, but I loved his music.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Well he tried, he tried suicide multiple times.

Speaker 12 (40:13):
Oh but I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, no, quite sad,
but I thought he was amazing and that last comforty
that I thought, how amazing.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, and look at you know, and certainly Rock Royalty
or wanted to front up to honor him, didn't they.
Everyone was there yeap oh a huge crowd.

Speaker 12 (40:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, it's fantastic for Boomingham too. I don't really know Boomingham,
but I know that they're the sort of town that
would be incredibly proud of him.

Speaker 12 (40:43):
Oh absolutely, I mean yeah, I mean he all those drugs,
some things obviously affected him over the years, but Sharon
stood by him. He doesn't let anything go by and
she's an amazing woman too, and.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Sort of thanks to all his reality I don't know
what the idea for the reality TV show with the
children have pivoted that into a career as well. The
daughter leaves me a bit cold. She's a bit try hard,
but you know she's always doing stuff.

Speaker 12 (41:12):
Isn't she yeah, yeah, but no amazing men and I
thought it's nears. It was great, although I wasn't really
into mess work, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah, amazing nicely from glennas thinks at ten past nine
Minames Marx, but of everything tonight if you want to
come through with something else and Marcus just tuning in
long day to day. Woke up to the Aussie news
art breaking rop cold Start and Upperhut negative too, fire
burning well tonight, macro Gum mix, Metal's Mind and Cornwall

(41:46):
were turn the copper, arsenic, silver and zinc none of
mine now and co I think gold might have been mine?
Don't the royals? Don't the Royal families make their There's
some cane bit of information that the royals use Cornwall
gold for their bends they're winning bands. Anyone know that

(42:08):
bit of information? Sounds like something I'd pick up from
some afternoon TV show? Anyone know any information about that?

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I no Welsh gold, sorry, Welsh gold. That's slightly different.
It's Welsh gold. It's quite different. So yes, I agree,
there probably has no Cornwall gold anyway. Linees free if
you want to come through to the show tonight, get
in touch for your free to get in touch. Marcus

(42:44):
to have to read this out if you don't want to.
Just before Covid went to American and walked the Hollywood Strip.
Here's Ossie's star. I took the picture of It was
the week of the Grammys. They cleaned the footpath up.
Homeless people have been told to move around the side streets.
Some hadn't left. There were homeless people urinating down some steers.
Glad the Beatles and Elvis Swan's had been removed and

(43:05):
sit together and totally separate area away from there. I
think Trumpe's got a star too, hasn't he. Mircus I've
just returned from Australia. Have bought the following identical dairy
products in both countries this week. Milk two liter and
Australia three dollars in New Zealand four fifty five milk

(43:27):
three liters in Australia for sixty five New Zealand six
seventy eight. Butter in Australia seven dollars in New Zealand
ten dollars forty nine. Cheese one kg nine thirty in
Australia twelve to fifty nine New Zealand is a much
larger dairy producer and exporter than Australia. Ninety five percent
in dairy products are exported, whereas Australia exports only some

(43:49):
thirty percent of its production. It's common knowledge that Kiwis
are paying international prices for milk, butter and cheese. Fonterra
and other dairy companies are making windfall profits on boyant
world markets. That's great for New Zealand farmers, but tough
on consumers. It's time the government deveen required a volume
quota to be set aside for the domestic market and

(44:11):
negotiated a greed fair price stable prices for Kiwis. This
discounting news end could also be seen as the dairy
industry's contribution to the nation and the considerable environmental demands
that result. Andrew Williams, I think he might be the
ex politician. Is he ex mayor of North Show?

Speaker 8 (44:32):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Of course that's an Aussie dollars and that's something that's
ninety two cents, But yeah, and no GST. But still
I'm hearing you. I don't quite know the whole point
of why Nicola Willis went to Fonterra and came away
with nothing new because she I mean she was there.
She was a I think she was a Fonterra lobbyist,
so she knew what was going on, and some would

(44:58):
say she is still that. But you know, I think
a stuff pole today said how consumed should the government
be doing more about the price of butter? I think
eighty percent of people said yes, seventy five or eighty
percent seed yes. So she might be talking the talk,
but the voters won't be liking it. There's no vote

(45:21):
in deer butter. And you look at the grafts. I
think in nineteen and twenty twenty, the industrial price of
butter came right down, but the price and the shop
stayed the same. So the converse is not always true.
When the prices come down, butter comes down. But yeah,
I think people will be pivoting away from butter, won't
they At that price? You don't need it. You need

(45:44):
it for baking, you need it for biscuits, you need
it for pastry. I would think, oh, there's something else.
I took a screenshot of that. I wanted to discuss
tonight too. While I'm here, let me have a look
at that. People. I would like to hear from you
tonight as I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty oh, here we go, Here we go, Here we go,

(46:11):
Here we go. New topic alert the other stand. So
you'll like the story. Some of you will like the story.
Effective pause, Well it is. I take screenshots for vehicles,

(46:32):
screenshots for articles, but then I've got to find the
actual article. Yeah. So this is the story I'm going
to tell you about people, and hopefully that will prompt

(46:53):
some and put from you. A ford Escort has sold
at auction for six hundred and twenty two thousand, six
hundred and eighty dollars of Ford Escort. Six hundred and

(47:14):
twenty two thousand, six hundred and eighty dollars. That's so much.
It was a special ford Escort, but that's a lot
of money for a fenny boxy looking ordinary car. An
em particularly preserved Ford Xcorre Escort, which was in the
same family for fifty years, has been sold for its
staggering some nineteen seventy six ford Esport Escort Mark two

(47:36):
ARIS eighteen hundred was kept off road in a barn
for most of its life. Eighteen hundred and six hundred
and sixty thousand dollars the motor of the underwentter of
restoration was hitting the barn for thirty five years. After
the owner's recent passing, his widowed wife put up the

(47:57):
ford at the sales auction Historics of Ivers bucks six
hundred and sixty thousand. It was a press car. Only
one hundred and nine examples manufactured altogether of the model,
which enjoyed huge rating success in the seventies of the eighties.

(48:18):
It's railing abilities were enhanced by the one point eighty
to Cosworth belt drive, a type engine which generate over
two point forty bhp. So let's talk escorts. Did you
ever think an escort would be worth six hundred and
sixty thousand dollars? Your escorts? Do you would have had one?
I always thought they'd a bit of a dump of
a car? Were they? Or were they? God? Let me
know about that. Greetings welcome Hitdle twelve. Pete. You want

(48:40):
to talk quickly about butter?

Speaker 13 (48:43):
Here going good, Pete. The place is like India that
make butter, and like even little Netherlands they make butter.
Why don't we import it from them? Basically, tell uh
voluntaria where to go with their butter? They import it
from overseas, so you're not supporting the New Zealand people.
Don't you send the light people going out of butter.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
People just say I think people prefer that Danish, but
they say it's better.

Speaker 13 (49:10):
Yeah, yeah, Danish or whatever.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
What's what's the Danish stuff called?

Speaker 13 (49:16):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Oh yeah, it's it's an L word.

Speaker 13 (49:21):
I don't know, but that's what I reckon. We want
to do just to say that Fronteira, you're not supporting
the locals you want us to support you, You're not
supporting New Zealands. That they all know that we're all
struggling at it. I reckon.

Speaker 14 (49:33):
It's think.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
I don't think they realize how hot and bothered people are.
They don't realize that Fontiera could ws the battle on this.

Speaker 13 (49:43):
Yeah, and I reckon they don't watch it. They've got
short memories.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
What seems to me that it's the one simple topic
that people are mobilizing behind because people, you know, some
of the other policy is quite complicated, but it's pretty straightforward.
Where a country, we can see cows everywhere, goodness speed,
we can see the impact of intensive daring at the environment.
We can't afford the butter Andrew's emailed Beck you should

(50:13):
take up this spat and to push for a local
quota of dairy products for New Zealand at a green
fair price. Such local quotas work in other European countries,
and our government should be investigating it. Taking four or
five percent of fonterrist production for the local mark would
have a negligible impact on their financial results from the
other ninety five percent of production. And it certainly you

(50:36):
make that the public owned the far look at the
farmers in much higher esteem. Be a great thing to do.
Curious to know if you miss your if you miss
your escort. No, not that sort of escort. Oh wait,
eight hundred and eighty to ten eighty nine nine text,
looking forward to what you want to say here till twelve.
Be in touch, be a part of it. You want

(50:57):
to be Also talk about Ozzie Osborne and the bat
anything else takes your fancy n twenty four past nine,
looking forward to your input. A lot of jokes about escorts.
That's a pretty cheap escort. I wonder what Philip Polkinghorn's
escort cost him. Well, I think you'd actually see that

(51:17):
in the court files. I'm sure there was an escort
that cost Donald Trump Moore lurepak is the Danish butter? Marcus?
Can anyone tell me why the tugboat was squirting water
on the new ferry of the Olivia. Was it to
wet its head? I think that standard nineteen seventy one,

(51:42):
forty rs. Eighteen hundred, Marcus. Back in the day France
got rid of their government over bred, it looks like
we're going to get rid of ours over butter. Have
a look at Martin Brundle's interview with Ozzie Osbourne. I'm
at work, Marcus. We use Olivarny and not butter. No

(52:03):
major changes in price, cheers Chris saw Ozzie Osborne nineteen
eighty first solid tur after black Saber, bloody legend, forty escorts.
I think this must be I don't quite understand what
some car will tell me what it means by a
press car. Was that one that they lean to the

(52:23):
press as a rally promotion? I don't know, but that's
six hundred and sixty thousand for an escort. I looked
that article. I thought there must be sixty six thousand. Surely,
good evening, Shane, how you're doing good you got.

Speaker 15 (52:36):
I like that story from the Escort. I used to
have a sixteen hundred Escort Sport in nineteen eighty x
two and that thing went on the clapp It's a
really good cat.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Were they were they a great car?

Speaker 3 (52:49):
You hat fun?

Speaker 15 (52:50):
No, we got this forty one. This one that was
set up for a bit more than your ever extremely
care had the extractors and decent carburettor on the one
you're describing. I think it's because it's rare, yeah, and
rare means expensive. Fact that it's had a Cosworth motor
doing the two hundred horsepower, that's incredible for a little

(53:11):
nineteen seventy four Escort. Okay, it's mind blowing. Actually some
you know, he also used to have an HSV Statesman
that only had two twenty horsepower and that was that's
farm the V eight. So that Escort was really work.
It really works. So it was a special car.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
It seems the boy racist didn't love them. Once the
Japanese cars came out, no one cared about the Escorts anymore.
That's probably right, Yeah, And because it seems as though
we lost our love, we lost our love for British
cars quite quickly, didn't.

Speaker 15 (53:42):
We well after the eighties, That would be true because
even the Japanese cars were rusting in the eighties, the
overall reliability of Japanese cars throughly sold them, and there
were a lot of them. Actually, the Nassians were doing
real wheel drive and turbos and everything was quite quick
in the U midsies.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
But I don't even see any escorts around, you know,
because you know, you occasionally see an old cars, vintage
cars that people preserved. I don't think I've said Escot
on the on the road for years, and ye, there
must be very few preserved in New Zealand.

Speaker 15 (54:19):
And there is, there is an escort club. I'm an
empire and we see a lot of each hop type
cars around Corimandel and there a lot. And again you'll
get these British car clubs s. They'll stop coming out
in force and you'll see a whole heap of them
all at once.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Why'd you sell it?

Speaker 15 (54:38):
Well, it was well for the rust and my wife hated.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
It, probably because of the way you drove it, Shane,
would that be fear I didn't.

Speaker 15 (54:48):
Drive like that with her and that she just didn't
like the right And the thing was your style.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Is it quite low?

Speaker 7 (54:56):
No?

Speaker 15 (54:56):
But yeah, but you know there's a single men's car. Really,
isn't it brilliant?

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Great? Great comment? This single men's car. We're talking escorts,
the car surprise. They've got to say that these days,
this day and age, that's the courts for you, isn't it.
The Ford Escort Marcus, China has an interest in west Gold,
but on the west coast another factory Oceana north of Wamuu.

(55:26):
Maybe the supermazie to bargain for butter from them. I
think it's west Gold that Costco sell. It's got their
own name. It's the name that begins with K where
Costco's from. They rebrand it Kirkland. Marcus is a high school.
In the late nineties, we spent a fair amount of
time tearing around in escorts, Marinas and minis worth a

(55:46):
few hundred. I think a few of my peers wish
that held on to them. On reflection, they're obviously on
the cusp of vintage typical Mini now one hundred thousand plus. Yes,
it's probably likely what happens as you get these people
that become bitcoin billionaires or whatever, or dot com millionaires,

(56:07):
and they get to their fifties and they retire, and
they think what I want to do really is to
buy the car I could never have as a teenager
and be chump change for them, wouldn't it? Evening Blue Marcus, welcome, Hello?

Speaker 7 (56:27):
How are you all right?

Speaker 16 (56:29):
I got a Mark one Escort nineteen sixty eight model?

Speaker 2 (56:33):
You still got it?

Speaker 16 (56:35):
Yes? Mate?

Speaker 7 (56:36):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (56:37):
How much on the clock?

Speaker 16 (56:40):
Well sports speedo in rev count and the gauges and
that's all right? And I stripped it allays out of
my shield now and I just put a Mark to
diff with a sway bear in the back. Well, I've
just finished that and old the springs and shockers orbers
loaded two inches. And I wrecked a few Escort Sports,

(57:04):
so I've had a few spare parts, and I put
Escort Sports front end of it. And that model didn't
have a sway bar on the front, a sway by
game back under the wild wall, yep. And I had
a two leter twin km Indian and stick in it

(57:24):
at a Ford Sierra and AZAEF gearbox. But I'm not
going to do that now that modeor's sitting in said
resting for somebody, and I'm putting the sixteen hundred escorts sports?

Speaker 12 (57:35):
What's what?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
What's what's the plan?

Speaker 16 (57:39):
I wasn't going to race it.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Ask you if you're going to race it with the
sway bar? But yeah, but you're giving up, have you?

Speaker 16 (57:46):
I cut the rollcage out of it because I'm just
about eighty years old. I'm an old boy race man
before you are. And I stripped the whole thing and
I put a Toyota van survey break survey under the dashboard,
decent brake survey, and I've got five of lass fled

(58:09):
mudguards on it. So I'm slowly getting here.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
And are you going to sell it?

Speaker 8 (58:15):
No?

Speaker 16 (58:16):
No, no, oh boy racing mate, But where would you
race it?

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (58:22):
I used to be in the car club me and
I show you. I used to race Hillman's Series five
hill and were seventeen and five actual motor and it
used to go pretty quick. And I used to race
in the D class and who climbs it's B eights

(58:42):
and all that sort of stuff. And I used to go,
well Plus's ford Esquad. I'm just fitty Ford's here a fist,
big gearbox on it. It'll bolt up to the sixteen
hundred cross flow yep. So that's that's another part of
the mission.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
Of it.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Will you at be racing this car?

Speaker 17 (59:06):

Speaker 19 (59:18):
Do pull wool takes?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Well?

Speaker 16 (59:22):
They actually in the film making and we knew what
they do is they trim them all up, They put
them through on the conveyor belt, and a conveyor belt
goes through and there's a sodium mixed accident in all
sorts of stuff and then whateppens next day. You pull
a wool off over a beam.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
So that is exactly what you do. You're pulling wool
off the pelt.

Speaker 16 (59:47):
Yeah, but I don't do that any of.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
The hard work. Did you get carpel tunnel?

Speaker 16 (59:54):
How do you know that?

Speaker 2 (59:55):
I don't know. That's what I when I know the
freezing work that works. They're always get carple tunnel if
they're pulling the hide of stuff all but mate, have
got car.

Speaker 16 (01:00:03):

in the wall off, You put them off and you'd
grave all the water you put them off I've.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Never talked to a wool pullar before. Okay, yes, I
suppose the machines would replace you after a while to they.

Speaker 16 (01:00:20):
Yeah, I worked on a machine too, Yes, mate, yep, yep,
just to do a bit about eight and a half
thousand and sometimes set up six o'clock, half past one, one, two, three,

skins yep, ship yes, yeah, and.

Speaker 16 (01:00:42):
We earned good money. So there were so No. No,
I had two escorts and might missus. Old one went
to hire a little while ago.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
A car club.

Speaker 16 (01:00:55):
No no, she put up for sale six hundred and
fifty she got for it. It was the original paint.

Speaker 8 (01:01:00):
One.

Speaker 16 (01:01:03):
The one I got now was original paint about twenty
years and it one sitting in this chair. I was
sorry to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
What was the person that paid six fifty going to
do with it?

Speaker 16 (01:01:15):
Put a two liter motor and land again from came from.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
A brilliant good call group. Thanks for that blue twenty
four to ten. My name is Markets were all about
escorts and I was born. Jeene Simmons broke down on TV.
He was in tears. It was their first car for
delivery new papers. I got it in nineteen ninety. Someone

(01:01:39):
wants to send a fact, we've got a fax machine down.
I think we had one down here a while back
to have a look around the office uring the lunch time. Marcus,
owner Pontiac nineteen sixty and christ Church was from the
press building that was the newspaper in christ Church. It
was the delivery car. Escorts were the best rally car

(01:02:03):
in the day. Cheers Mark, you so I remember that
when they had the rallying and it was always the Escorts, Marcus.
In the UK there's a company that makes Escort replicas
which sell for big money. Hi, Marcus. When we grew up,
the Escort was the bottom of the heap for us.
Anybody who had one we called it a puss court.
It's quite funny. And now I see a place called

(01:02:29):
Borough Motorworks in the UK are making brand new Mark
one model Escorts with a two point one leader engine.
They look good.

Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
How much how much for a new replica? Marcus? The
cost of butter and other dairy products is ridiculous. The
government should definitely do something. New Zealand should be supplied
first and at a reasonable cost. Look after your own
then make the bigger bucks overseas. Same should go for
beef and lamb and honey. And we should definitely not

(01:03:02):
have to buy and put at items because we can't
afford our own wonderful product. That would be criminal. We
know where our own comes from and it's good quality.
I have no qualms about farmers making good buck, In fact,
I want them to. But Fontira has got out of
hand with us. That's from Lee and plenty of texts
in that vein, so keep those coming. If you want

(01:03:27):
to talk, we are talking. Ozzie Osborne also welcome if
you want to. Eighteen to ten, good evening, Louise, Are
you okay?

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
I broke my femur?

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Oh God, where's that arm?

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
Or leg?

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Might be in the leg?

Speaker 5 (01:03:44):
Is it the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Biggest bone in the body of the old femur? I
had to break all?

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
Oh no, I just I have a back issue and
I was walking up steps in my back sort of.
They never does the add copop. Yeah, but anyway, the
Star for Ward and Living is amazing, The staff are amazing,

Yes, amazing staff.

For yes, Yes, definitely. We've solved the problems of the
world in that room.

Speaker 12 (01:05:13):
Gee.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
I also I rang up to talk about Ozzie. I
mean the second album my rock I ever bought was
Paranoid and I was a teenager and I've been a
black Satan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Why does a teenager buy Paranoid?

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
I don't know what other stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
What other stuff were you into? What's the gateway album
before you buy Paranoid?

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
Deep Purple and Rock? Yeah, a Deep Purple?

Speaker 7 (01:05:48):
And before that it was the Seekers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Wow, you went from Seekers to Deep Purple?

Speaker 17 (01:05:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:05:56):
I did.

Speaker 18 (01:05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
What happened in between times cheapest? That's big?

Speaker 4 (01:06:01):
Oh yeah, I left I left home, didn't you though, Yeah? Yeah,
I mean we knew it was coming, but I just
go on to stuff this morning and merit was bang right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
I was surprised to see it, yeah, I mean I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
I was shocked, and I wasn't surprised because he's been
elf quite some times. Good old as I'm so glad
I saw him live.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
So people don't die of Parkinson's like that, though, No,
they don't.

Speaker 7 (01:06:31):
I think there was other stuff going on.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Well, I haven't heard the allegations of that that, but yeah,
I haven't heard Aye asked that question either.

Speaker 7 (01:06:39):
I sort of wondered about the sisters, but I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:44):
He wasn't well. He had a back problem as well,
and then he's just pretty sick for the last two
or three years.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
It's pretty good. It's a pretty good album.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Yeah, yeah, I mean some of the songs on the
album are pertinent today.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
You know, get Wall Pigs.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
Yeah, you could play so they know, no one would
know that it was written in nineteen seventy.

Speaker 7 (01:07:11):
That's so.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
Yeah, that's amazing and the end of an era that
everyone's dying, you know, all old.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Rocker is all dying, well just some of them are
dying on all of them.

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
Yeah, oh no, well, eventually it's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Sort do you still listen to Do you still listen
to the album?

Speaker 8 (01:07:31):
Yep?

Speaker 13 (01:07:32):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Actually, yeah, I've got most of their album yep. I've
got a very very range, wide ranging taste. I listened
to country as.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Well, and you know, I mean you still listen? Do
you still listen to the Seekers?

Speaker 19 (01:07:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
No, I love the Seekers. I thought you might brilliant
and I'm like, won't being ashamed about that. I think
the custard Kelvinda was talking about was alpro custard, which
is again I don't know why he was that was
taken is taken by that, but anyway, here we go.
Market's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:08:10):
Thirteenth of August.

Speaker 17 (01:08:12):
I think about seven am, fourteenth of August, actually seven
am New Zealand time. Black Sabbas took the stage featuring
Ozzy Osbourne at Live Aid in ninet eighty five, and
I'd gone to bed, well, my parents had gone to
bed and left me up to watch this concert that

(01:08:35):
started at midnight fourteen and plus years or whatever I was,
and i'd been a Duran Duran guy, I've been a
disco kid whatever. And when they come into the breakfast
bar at about seven thirty am, they discovered this little

(01:08:57):
insane rock child in the lounge room who'd just seen
Black Sabbath perform. I'd never seen anything like it. Still
didn't never see anything like it, because it was very
unusual in terms of the circumstances around it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
But what were the circumstances.

Speaker 17 (01:09:18):
Ozzie hadn't been in a member, hadn't been a member
of Black Sabbath since seventy eight seventy nine when they
kicked him out and taken on Ronnie James Dio as
their singer, and de would performed with them for four
or five years, then gone off to do his own
thing suddenly, and they found themselves at a loose end

(01:09:38):
in many respects, been asked to perform on the bill
at last minute, and they took a punt and bought
in Osborne, Bill Graham in the background, the uber producer promoter,
and pulled it all together and they performed together for
the first time and in many, many years, and it

(01:10:03):
was remarkable for it. Sidney watching band Aid and Nick
Kershaw and Howard Jones and Paul Young and the Style
Council and then I'll come Black Sabbath and do three
songs for fifteen minutes just leave you just dumbstruck.

Speaker 11 (01:10:29):
Dumbstruck.

Speaker 7 (01:10:30):
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 17 (01:10:33):
The thing that people talk about the Live Aid giga
being about London, right, what happened in Philadelphia was remarkable.
But you run down the list of what appeared in
the way that it appeared in Philadelphia and it's it's
Bill Graham pulling it together and bringing in a lot
of favors and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
This and that and all that.

Speaker 17 (01:10:55):
But the lineup is just beyond eclectic. It's incredible. Billy
Ocean on the same stage as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest,
Yellow People, Jack Nicholson led Zeppelin, Bill Collins flying across.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
That's right, he did too. Yeah, that's right. That's famous,
isn't it.

Speaker 17 (01:11:18):
It's all part of the millannge of that event.

Speaker 8 (01:11:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:11:23):
And to see what has happened in the last fortnight,
well that gig was pretty awesome for a gen X kid.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Good live with there, Mark, But thanks for that. And look,
no one starts a phone call like you, Mark. What
a textbook start that was in hard brilliant. Welcome to
the gentle amble through Wednesday Night. Getting touched by Name's
Marcus had on Midnight if you want to be a
part of the show. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine to to text, we are talking

(01:11:55):
Ozzy Osborne Black Sabbath because I guess it's not really
a well I guess, you know, here's one and the other,
but certainly Black Sabbath's not coming back as well. I mean,
you know, I'm in the singer of that's and they
had his own career. But that's what we are talking about.
Interesting reading about the bat incident, and there was an
extremely good article I've read on that on loud Wire
magazine and I've never read about that. I've always meant to.

(01:12:19):
It's one of those things I've always heard but never
thought what's going on there? But the actual story of
the bat is quite interesting and it's been discussed. Yeah,
it's been so I've just clicked on the story. I

(01:12:41):
just reading it during the news. Now I can't quite
in fact see where the story is, but I'll bring
that to you. So what happened with the bat?

Speaker 8 (01:12:49):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
It happened in Des Moines, Iowa. That's a situation. Tenth
of January nineteen eighty two. So Ozzie Osborne and thought
a fan had thrown a fake rubber bat on stage,

(01:13:13):
and it wasn't until he chopped at the flying mammal
that he realized it was real. He claims he felt
the bat twitch in his mouth as he bit down
on its neck. Now they took it quite seriously. He
undergo he had to undergo three weeks of raby shots
on the road. Each night. For the rest of the

(01:13:34):
two he had to find a doctor to get more
raby shots, one in each, one in each thigh, one
in each Everyone hurt, he said, so it was quite
a big deal. The nurse supervisor that half of her
job was answering phone calls about people wanting to talk
about the bat. But actually, as it transpires, I do

(01:13:57):
know the person that threw the bat. It was a
seventeen year old and the bat was not alive, despite
the legend, despite Ozzy Osborn saying it was going to twitch,
what was twitching? And of course, to Ozzy Osborne, the
question he ever wanted to hear was what does bat
taste like? Because everyone thought there'd be a fun thing
to ask, but after a while became a little bit obvious. So, yeah,

(01:14:20):
that's the story of the bat. I took it in
a bag. Someone had it as a pet and had
died and thought we'll take it to the Ozzy Osbourne show. Tim,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:14:31):
Good evening, Yeah, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
You will yeah good, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:35):
Tim.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 11 (01:14:37):
Yeah good. And you bit late to the show. So
you said news about Aussie. Wow, there's legacy, you know,
is sitting stone. Basically I was firce to introduced the music, well,
Black Sabbath music via the Technical Ecstasy album by Black

(01:15:00):
Sabbath in the mid seventies. Yes, and no man came
home with it, and yeah, I hadn't quite heard anything
like that before. And yeah, so that's a bit I'm
always I always afeared to that. It's a great album

(01:15:20):
and a great check on There She's Gone, which should
have displays some of those these other vocal range. We
you can just hearers hear them, you know, the individual
Widge which is nice. Four escorts.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Term double album also, which is a great thing extasy.

Speaker 11 (01:15:42):
Oh yeah, and it's it's in a box somewhere at
my brother's house, amongst them a whole lot of albums.
So maybe I did that in the weekend. Go and
find it. Look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Can I just say also for a lot of people,
and probably I put myself in that in that category,
who have become more aware of Ozzie Osborne from his
sort of shambolic in The Slipper's reality TV show, But
as a performer and as a musician, as a younger person,
he was very much quite a different individual than that
stumbling kind of guy in the later years, wasn't he.

(01:16:20):
I mean he was on stage in those early you know,
he was very vital and alive and very much a
very charismatic stage presence.

Speaker 11 (01:16:30):
Absolutely fantastic showman, like just you know, just made form
to do it. I guess, well he made it happen.
You know, he got with the guys and they did it.
I was fortunate enough to go and see them in Yeah,
two thousand and twelve. I think it's Spark Arena.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
They had.

Speaker 11 (01:16:55):
They'd got in a different drummer, a young fella of
some note, can't remember his name now, but he just
smashed it and it was brilliant. It was I'm glad
I went and it was a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
And there was still he wasn't it the pro did
he was? He diminished as a performer or was it
a compromise or is still it was still extraordinary?

Speaker 11 (01:17:16):
Yeah, it was. You know, he was getting on at
that point and his lifestyle had taken an effect.

Speaker 8 (01:17:23):
But he went for it.

Speaker 11 (01:17:26):
He really he was passionate. He brought it to the crowd,
you know, he was he gave it. It was all
you could ask for, really, you know, all things considered,
he he provided brilliant entertainment. And yeah, that's that's all
you can ask for, really good. Yeah, Ford Escort so

(01:17:49):
probably been the same year. It's the nineteen seventy five.
My dad came home with a brand new it was
a like a metallic copper for this Mark one Escort
four or you know, family like mom and dad, kids,
So we get slung on the back as you did.

(01:18:10):
I probably didn't even have seat belts, but anyway, that's
another thing. But yeah, there was a there was a
nice car.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
You know in this day, I like the copper. I
don't see that you describe that colory, Well, you don't
see that color and cars, I mean all the color,
all the cars in those days were those kind of
much more interesting colors, weren't. They were those sort of
metallic copper. I can visualize that.

Speaker 11 (01:18:34):
Yeah, and like when it was brand new or when
you you know, people looked after it. It was great
and people up and say, oh it was bronze. No,
bronze is different, you know, but copper's copper, and I
know maybe said someone should have a go at a
relaunching it. Who knows sout date? Good color this time?
It's like an autumn color, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Do you keep it from for long?

Speaker 8 (01:18:57):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:18:58):
No, because he did it, but it wasn't quite his
taste performance wise, so he got out of that and
order when you get an alpha Romeo GTV leader little
metallic color of green coop which was marvelous, ampletely wondrous thing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
He sounds like a character and sounds like quite the character.

Speaker 11 (01:19:24):
Well yeah he was, Yeah, yeah, I think he had
a younger midlife crisis and the last kid came along
with sister and the next thing he's gallivanting around in
the south of Romeo and anyway, Blexen, he's gone alfa.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Yeah, you know, nice to hear from you, Tim, Thank you,
Britt's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:19:53):
Yes, I just wanted to talk that areus eighteen hundred
must have been very rare.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
I think it's only there was only five of only
five of them. Had said in the article.

Speaker 7 (01:20:05):
It was an Arius too thirs thousand, which is a
two eater with the twin side draft, and they were
they were the real goers those things. But the eighteen
hundred must have been very rare. Like you said, there's
none of them, because there's Arius two thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
We have been a lot more of them, now what
I can tell you, well, by the way, to seven
hundred and thirty thousand was paid for one that was
owned by Princess Diana, so that's probably the record, I think.

(01:20:48):
So it sees what makes us, No, it sees what
makes us Classic Ford so special, other than mean one
of around one hundred and nine mark to Arius eighteen
hundred produced, almost all of which were finished in diamond
white as seen here. This example was one of five
press cars. Now, I don't know what a press car

(01:21:10):
is and if it's one that they give to to
journalists to drive him, but that wouldn't really make sense.
So that's the bit I'm stuck on, Actually what a
press car is.

Speaker 7 (01:21:24):
I think they put the two leader in the capri
as well. Okay, that's a very good but Lea Ford
and Ozzie Osborne closed her eyes forever and press Ossie.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah, and good on him for keeping playing the whole
time as well too, And I mean, you know, I
mean he had his struggles, but he kept at it.

Speaker 17 (01:21:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:21:48):
I think that was his big hit with Lea Forward. Yeah, yeah,
it was in the Runaways. Oh yeah, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Okay, but that's yeah, not quite one to know about.
But thank you Lizard's Marcus. Hello.

Speaker 18 (01:22:03):
I had to tell you the story because I think
you'll find quite a musing I've been I'm a ginger
and I had a ginger boy, so my dad called
me blue. And one day he was my youngest because
he came with a big gap from his sisters and
he's fifteen. Mummy said, I've got four hundred and fifty dollars.

(01:22:26):
I'm buying myself a Ford escorts. So I didn't pay
any attempt to do her anyway. He said to me,
I've got one, but I don't think I can take
the trailer on the on the I don't know if
I could grab a trailer canoe bubble. I said, oh okay,
so awful. We go out to men River, these paddle

(01:22:47):
beaters and that had a car, a body and two
lots of parts to this car with one engine. So
I brought home what we called and the next day
dumped offuss engine. Well that boys turned out he was
fifteen and by the time he went to school and

(01:23:08):
swear it lost the stone of weight, and I must
have aged about fifty years because I had to keep
an eye on him all the time and give him
a hand.

Speaker 7 (01:23:16):
You see.

Speaker 18 (01:23:17):
So his sister had affording escort so strict that and
it was a historical So the time he went to school,
we had all the men in the neighborhood mechanic next
door watching this for because he put twin cards on
and did everything, was raking, raking everything. Oh you'll never say.

(01:23:39):
So the day that he was putting together and they
all came over, they stood around the watch and you're looking.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
To believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
He turned it on, it went goodness.

Speaker 18 (01:23:51):
Yes, he did well. Anyway, his father may have said
it before. He was in New Zealand spray papers, so
he decided for a son he'd.

Speaker 5 (01:24:02):
Sprayed some quite read.

Speaker 18 (01:24:06):
So of course that was that he was in that car,
so of course he got picked up all the time.
Didn't do so anyway, he said he had this car
all very while, and then he said to right, it's
I'm getting rid of that car. He said, I'm giving myself.
I think he was wed have got an integral that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
He was not.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
I'm not a car person, but he sounds quite sensible.

Speaker 18 (01:24:28):
Oh yes, I want to. I don't want that car anymore,
he said, so hoped at all, But I still can't
help laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
I think people outgrow cars, don't they.

Speaker 18 (01:24:37):
Oh he had because the end kept it. He was
ready for UNI, and he said, I'm not wearing a
low ride of pants, you know the ones that went
down the crack on, and I'm going to have decent
pants of getting rid of my of course he he's been.
He's in England doing all sorts of things, because I

(01:25:00):
mean he was capable of doing it, do you know?

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Yes, but he got a belt. He got a belt
for his trousers, did he.

Speaker 18 (01:25:09):
We didn't even wear those on the ends?

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:25:12):
Was that to teenage?

Speaker 18 (01:25:13):
You know, the low riders?

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Never quite?

Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
Is it?

Speaker 7 (01:25:18):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Bogan?

Speaker 6 (01:25:20):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
He was beautiful.

Speaker 12 (01:25:22):
He was.

Speaker 18 (01:25:25):
Now beautiful son. Him and I were root together, whereas
mad as super watches. I mean you don't usual both.
I'm not quite sure where the relationship was. The way
it was was the mother, but we were together, we
really were. I was just mate.

Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
You see.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Well, yeah that sounds special. That's a good story list.
I gonna leave it thered thank you. Twenty seven past
ten learning the story of the Lion is the British footballer,
female footballer who has gone from a ball girl back
in twenty twenty one to the squad and four. Yeah
she was the star of it too. They say the

(01:26:04):
lion is squad's all a bit tired and she's the future.
It's a good story that Michelle Aguimang. I apologize I
pronounced that wrong, but anyway, she was. They're going to
the final two? What is It's not the Women's World Cup?
It must be the Women's European World Cup.

Speaker 14 (01:26:19):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Here it's a nice story. Anyway, do get in touched
you want to talk on you? My name is Marcus
Good Evening Hittill twelve, enjoying it muchly, looking forward to
what you want to contribute. Talking about Ozzy Osborne and escorts. Yes,
I forgot about Princess Diana's escort. Sometimes when peel to

(01:26:46):
our engine size and stuff. I don't really know a
lot about that thing. Oh yeah, but I know that
the good thing is that the audience knows about it.
So it must have been a bit of a rocket cap.

Speaker 11 (01:26:54):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Yeah, Press carr is one that's just given for reviews.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
So and then.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
So they're probably the very best specked ones. I would
have mentioned, but you hadn't gone far and had been
in a barn, and the engine had be reconditioned before
you were looked after. But six hundred and sixty thousand
dollars Marcus, the car you speak about being a press car,
You're right. Press cars are given to a journalist so
they can do an appraise or report and are write

(01:27:22):
up on it and then magazine. So it's a very
early production model car, model car, one of the first.
That's why it's expensive. And also they are rare. I
would have thought the journalists had thresh them, but yeah,
obviously not. I do own an escort Harris R to
mark one race is done. Replica won the World Championship

(01:27:47):
in England. One of his recent escort Soverig of a million,
So I would say that would be the record driven
by Frank Gardner. Australia. It's a difficult text to read
that one because it's quite it's done without pronuncia punctuation

(01:28:07):
replica man anyway, refusing to buy cucumber at the moment.
So these are the things, the foods that people are
no longer buying. Raspberry seems to be a big one
that people that seem to be priced out of the market.
Well of course to the other food that the other
food that's not because of because of export demand, but

(01:28:31):
I think because of challenges with growing them. Passion fruit
and Tamarillo's treat amados. They're alway about thirty between twenty
and thirty dollars a kilo, which seems kind of excessive,
but I think that's because there's some sort of light
that's taken those and made that it's quite difficult to grow.

(01:28:53):
Haven't managed to get rid of it, but yeah, passion
for it. What a gorgeous fruit they are. And tamarillos, gosh,
they'll lift something, won't they cheapest creepers that color. Joanne
good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:29:06):
Welcome, good evening, Maxus, how are you good?

Speaker 7 (01:29:09):
Thanks?

Speaker 5 (01:29:10):
Joeanne good good good?

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Quickly are you talking?

Speaker 9 (01:29:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
I can hear you now, sorry, thank you, okay, Yeah,
just a quick call for I was.

Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
I was really sad to hear that when it came
across early this morning. I'm glad that he got to
do his last show. Yeah, and yeah, I think it
was a surprise to a lot of people, because you know,
he was hanging in there for a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Yeah, it seemed to sort of been unwell for about
thirty years. The ways to stumble around on that TV show.

Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
Yeah yeah, I know, Well he didn't, you know, so
called rock and roll life didn't here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
Yes, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, but he never shout away. It
was always quite honestly upfront about that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:03):
Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember hearing the backstory,
and I think there was a chicken story too, but
you don't know how much how much that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Well also too and before the internet or actually it
was even hard to find out about those stories because
I remember just hearing it about it. Yeah, I even
even know how long after the event that that became
big news because you don't know how fast news traveled
in those days.

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
Well yeah, and of course there's news travels from mouth
to mouth that chases yes, yeah, yeah, well I heard
that he had a chicken on stage, and he didn't
sort of really know that chickens couldn't fly very far.
Now they can fly a little bit, yes, And he

(01:30:51):
threw it up to for it to fly away and
went into the crowd and they tore it to a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Oh that's not good. That's not nice.

Speaker 5 (01:30:59):
It's not nice.

Speaker 10 (01:31:00):
But you.

Speaker 5 (01:31:02):
Can't go past xs. That's one of my favorite bands.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Do you still listen to it?

Speaker 20 (01:31:10):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:31:10):
I haven't for a while because I've got a lot
of stuff in storage.

Speaker 8 (01:31:13):
But yeah, okay, I actually.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Still listen to lead Zeppelin on tape.

Speaker 9 (01:31:18):
In my car.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
I'm a great listen to Lead Zeppelin in the car.
I think it's good car music. Lead Zeppelin.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
It it is really good. And before I go, you
know what I reckon with a better situation, Why don't
they sell it by like half a pound or in sticks,
you know, sticks about it like they do in America.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
A lot of people say that it seems like they're
not really that seems like they don't really care about
the new z Inder market at all because they're not
giving people what they want at all. M right, But
the sticks would be better because people like what often
don't want a whole pound or half, Yeah, half a kilo.

Speaker 5 (01:31:56):
Like it's almost like you have to kind of like
budget for it and then when you get it, put
half of it in the freezer, you know, yes, and
he really like that. Other persons really enjoy it when
you've got it and do it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Nice to hear you, And yeah, I think Nicola Willison,
the government and Fontera is out of touch with what
people how they want their butter as well, but you
know they're just paying them lip service. Anyway, get in
touch with you, I talk. Nice to hear from you,
Joe and at ten away from eleven o'clock interesting text.
Sick of hearing about the price of butter? Is that
all people eat? What about the price of meat, vegetables

(01:32:33):
and olive oil, petrel, et cetera. I think PETREL's down,
is it? Well of our olive oil is up? Of course,
olive oil and chocolate up because of climate change and
they can't grow at the places they grown have become
too hot for it. So that's probably permanent, I would imagine.
I think chocolate's going to become very, very expensive over time.

(01:32:56):
It's not only dairy and meat that expense of try
buying vegis to make a proper stir fry. Gave up
on frozen bags of stir fry. All the bags are
half full of green beans. Do you go for couliflower
broccoli drowned and white cheese sauce? No, I don't. I

(01:33:16):
don't think I've had white cheese sauce or anything for
about thirty years. I think probably the palett's changed a
little bit from that. But anyway, would you need butter
for that too? Would you?

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
While we're big on a cheesy sauce, I think with
couliflower and broccoli, I think probably the way we cooked
were always trying to mask the taste. But think where
we had the right handle on broccoli and cauliflower, cauliflower cheese. Well,

(01:33:49):
I don't know what to say about that. Good evening, Brian,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:33:56):
Yeah, Hi. I think problem a big prices. It's the
effect of gest It's a sort so valleys. If you consider,
for example, you know it's something at ten dollars a
kilo rough calculation, it's a dollar fifty with the GST

(01:34:17):
on that, and there was only five dollars. The gsc's
only seventy five. So the more things go up, the
greater the impact GST hits on on the price of goods,
particularly food. It's a good case for removing GST off food.

(01:34:41):
They do it in Australia, so I don't understand why
we can't do it here.

Speaker 2 (01:34:46):
I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't get a bit
of a favorit of traction before the election.

Speaker 20 (01:34:53):
Well, it was a topic in the last election.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
But they made a heck of it, didn't they.

Speaker 20 (01:35:00):
Yeah, yeah, but late, lacking detail and probably didn't think
through and present it correctly. But everything seems to go up,
and of course the GSC has that compounding effect. It's
a it's a silent text, it's a it's a very

(01:35:23):
mean spirited text.

Speaker 11 (01:35:24):
To my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
It's also a text on the poor because the poor
spend the majority of their money on food, because whereas
the wealthy people would would spend a small proportion. So
as a percentage, it seems to be the people. It's
the low income owners that are that are disproportionately affected
with GST.

Speaker 20 (01:35:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, I would be.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
I mean, otherwise, the governors are proposing a shift to
a twenty percent GST, which I think would go down
extremely badly at the moment.

Speaker 20 (01:35:57):
Yeah, they'd be political suicide. I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Well, yes, sometimes you've got to balance the books, though,
don't you. But I don't know when I saw that
that there was that that was surprised that youone even
thought about that.

Speaker 20 (01:36:12):
Yeah, I'm surprised I was even mooted.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
As being And I'm surprised how quietly we allowed jars
ticket to go from ten to fifteen percent, because that
seemed to me to be to happen without much discussion
or mentioned in the election or anything like that. When
that happened, I forget how many years ago that was.

Speaker 20 (01:36:31):
We went ten to twelve and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
That's right, two, didn't it?

Speaker 20 (01:36:36):
Yeah, yeah, But back in the day, I suppose, you know,
we went in for the financial predicament we are. We
went we didn't have all the poverty that we seem
to have today, and I mean in place everything great.
For example, you know, it's all very well for local
government to say, oh, well, we kept the rates down

(01:37:00):
to an eight percent increase, but you know they add
the impact of their eight percent impact of GST on
that as well, So you know, the gross effect of
rate creases is often a whole lot more than what
they they claim. And of course you know it's a
text that people they can't recover it. You know, it's

(01:37:23):
not a text that they can pass on. I mean,
you're you know, you're registered. But you know, for the consumer,
every consumer, it's a great.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Costs Yeah, yeah, I don't yeah, I don't necessarily agree
what you say. Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean I see
what I mean. The thing about GST it is it
is a fixed percentage though, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:37:52):
Well it is, yeah, yeah, but you know it's it's
GST on rates, CSD, on everything, power, electrocity insurance, and
so as those go up, those rates go up equally, then.

Speaker 11 (01:38:10):
The GSC goes up.

Speaker 20 (01:38:13):
So it's just astorts the whole value system.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
Nice to hear from you, Broan, good points, Thank you.
Fourteen past eleven texts Marcus and Melbourne today will give
a butter price up a tomorrow. How's everyone coping with
the power bill? The time of the year, people start
cutting corners to save money, like not using heat pumps
or extract the fans and even switching off the hot
water cylinders. Many years ago Ozzy Osborne said a crossby
on a flight from London to New York, watching the

(01:38:41):
Prince of Darkness trying to operate his seat and entertainment
system whilst gelling his assistant Tony W for help, was
worth the price of the upgrade. Seemed like a lovely guy,
rip Ossie Mark of Marpua. Marcus would love to know
through the other biscuits other than ginger nut to the
good dunkers any amazing that they can't do anything about

(01:39:02):
the price of butter but want us to trust them
to run our country. Their laser like in teen entitlement
is not going unnoticed. Marcus. Here's a question to think about.
What percentage of Fontira butter sales using in consumption. I
think it's one under one percent. Surely Fontira could afford
to drop the price to US consumers. Well, yes, it
doesn't appear. I mean there's an article in the New

(01:39:23):
Zealand Herald why New Zealand butter price has gone up
and when will that change? And I don't think it's
really gone far enough the article and I think they leave.
I think they give fonterra bit of a soft serve.

(01:39:47):
But I did read the article earlier on and I
think it said ninety eight percent of the butter is exported,
and I'm just trying to reread the article now to
see if there's that fact.

Speaker 8 (01:40:03):
What it is?

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
You know, it's like when you're trying to reread something
in a hurry, you can never find the bit you want.
So then we just read through this quickly. But a
but a butter dairy giant paraphrase sixty four rise and butter?
What's behind the jump? Are talking to yourself to people?

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Yes, that's right. The reality is that New Zealand exports
ninety percent of the dairy product it produces. So I
imagine the question would have be done if you would
actually run the numbers to see if New Zealand butter
was sold at a cheaper rate because we're not going
to start suddenly using a lot more. How much that

(01:40:49):
would affect Fonterra's bottom line, How much that would affect
the farmers and their return. That would be I think
the responsible thing to have done, as happened to a
lot of countries where the local product is subsidized or whatever.
And I'm sure if it's not going to cost the
farmers much more or Fontia much more. I'm sure it
would be reward and spades by the goodwill the farmers

(01:41:12):
would receive. But yes, it doesn't explore that in those articles.
A lot of things that doesn't explore. They've just taken
it word that we've got to pay because that's what
they pay internationally. But yeah, it's two percent. Nine percent
is exported, so you can't image to affect their bottom
line by much. Twenty minutes past eleven, Good evening, Mary,

(01:41:32):
This is Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:41:36):
Look I just found out something interesting today. Has anyone
ever mentioned the market brand of the warehouse wrapped in
silver paper?

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
Is that butter?

Speaker 9 (01:41:49):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Sorry, I mean yeah, I don't. No one has mentioned that.

Speaker 19 (01:41:54):
I ran into an old friend and hadn't seen it
for yolks, and she was actually buying some and it
was a warehouse we got here in Wonka, and no,
that's what they use. And they've got a bit for
grown up children. So it's somebody else is sor but
I'd never heard of it, but she showed me. It's

(01:42:16):
warehouse market or something.

Speaker 2 (01:42:18):
That's called the market Kitchen Salted butter Papatti product of Zealand.
It doesn't eight dollars forty nine limit of two is
not much cheaper, but they don't say who. I presume
it's probably Fonterra as well as it.

Speaker 19 (01:42:33):
Well, I said that to her, but she said no.
But anyway, just you know, I just use yeah, I
just use the old Sunrise margarine that was recommended by
Adopt years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
And yeah, it makes sense. The butter's not good for you.
The butter's not good for you anyway, Mary, we all
know that, don't we exactly exactly? Thank you?

Speaker 8 (01:42:59):
You might.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
I mean they might be saving us. They might be
saving all our health by being in the price of
butter up. It could be the best it has ever
happened to us. Australia has been in New Zealand to
win the Trans Tasman Best Tasting Tap Water title. I'll
tell you that one thing about Indicagon Bluff. The water

(01:43:22):
is very good tasting. So the battle was between Timidoo's
Seeded down Water treatment plant, which is the current New
Zealand champion, went head to head with Newcastle new in
New South Wales. Newcastle won. I don't know who's got

(01:43:46):
the worst water in New Zealand. We'll probably go the
add the nitrates in there, you couldn't drink it. Now
that Ozzy Osborne's died, there's even more Keith Richards jokes.
Why is he still alive that sort of thing. Yeah,
sure it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:44:04):
Welcome, Hey, Marcus here here from Eke Hunters at that God.
I just got in from doing my round student rabbits,
got back to the ute, ice all over the tailgate,
freezing cold.

Speaker 17 (01:44:17):
So what like you?

Speaker 8 (01:44:18):
I'm there?

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
What's the team?

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
Zero and below zero for I don't know if you
haven't got my car is a twenty year old card.
I have one of those summent of things that tell
you what the temperature is. It's just it's got no
bills and whistles as basic, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
I like it.

Speaker 8 (01:44:32):
I'm at home. We're back in the foty the wallsheed
pourting out water, to putting my hot water bottles, making
my bed, listen to you, to him again, a bed,
A couple of things soaked on Stuart Island. It's a prank, obviously,
it's a prank. The I don't know if I've told
you this before, but I was the operations manager at
the Cory Wildlife Sanctuary, which then went on to become

(01:44:54):
rebranded to Zealandier. As the operations manager there, my job
was to maintain the biodiversity security of the boundary fence
and stop preaded getting and of course we had a
few pranks. He came around and threw dead animals over
the fence just to give us the wind up. And
so I think there's just another wind up. It could

(01:45:15):
be something as simple as a wind up just for
the hell of it. It could be some sort of
protest about ten eighty or the cost of living or
whatever it is. But anyway, it'll just go away. Blue
Bridge fantastic service, love it usual all the time. They
had the foresight to put the terminal in Wellington City

(01:45:37):
right up to the railway station defunding at Tart I
think I should call it. And of course they've had
the monopoly on the inner city birthing rights for or
on fifteen twenty years, I suppose it might be, and
of course into Ireland who was trying to muscle in
and shift their terminal into Wencon City to get them

(01:46:02):
on the same convenience level as the Blue Bridge has.
I think we should just keep the Blue Bridge out of.

Speaker 2 (01:46:09):
Cold could you explain to me how far the difference is.

Speaker 8 (01:46:14):
It's probably close to six hundred or seven hundred meters
maybe ahrometers.

Speaker 9 (01:46:18):
You know, we're the.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
Well you're right, so you're right too. It is a
long way around. Yeah, I'm looking at now on Google
Maps because it's close to it's certainly the town side.
It's the town side certainly of the cake Tin, isn't it.
It's just opposite, the opposite, the opposite, the opposite the
train station.

Speaker 8 (01:46:37):
Yep, yep. And you can you can plan, you know,
if you're training what cover transport, you can get your
train into one of the city, walk across the road
on a blue bridge and go sound yeah in reverse.
And so it's a link to the infrastructure of transporting
New Zealand. The blue bridges will position to give people fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
It's a god forsaken place with the inter Islander, isn't
it in the middle of That's just a horrible place
down there with the train tracks and the motorway, and
that's a it's a god forsaken place to get to.

Speaker 8 (01:47:05):
It is that the israeland geminal Hess convenience have been
closer to the state Hillway one and you get on
to see how they run a bit quicker. But again
or there and the three has been on the Blue Bridge,
I think too, which is really important freed. So that's
just a little I would like to see this national

(01:47:26):
government will probably be there backwards for the island and
I allow them to move into the city, which will
negate the business advantage that the Blue Bridge has head
for twenty or thirty years whatever it is, fifteen to
twenty whatever, Because we're all about helping corporate, aren't they,
and not helping the rule people, not helping private enterprise.

(01:47:47):
Here's the initiative to position themselves in the city night
out by some reclamation down there in the town. They
are formats of the Blue Bridge. But watch the space
and you'll probably see the insur island and move into
the city.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
Well, I watched the space within Torona because I still
I mean, she's canceled the boat. We still don't know
even when the new boats are coming a lot going
to be. It's caused a great deal of concern to people.

Speaker 8 (01:48:09):
Yeah, and while while the inter Island and the government
bureaucracy is procrastinating a messing amount, the Blue Bridge is
just moving ahead with your business plan and formats with
them for being having the initiative to put more boats
on newer boats and they're not new boats, so I
seeing hand boats I liked, But that the stim moving
head with your business plan, while the inter islander is

(01:48:33):
if you don't mind the pound floundering.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Yeah fair enough, yeah, okay, super magus.

Speaker 8 (01:48:38):
Last thing I want to cover off. We will hear
about what's her name most of the finance Nicole will
Nichola wors So she ran for the Harry Value electorate,
which is where my homers in the Harry Value electorate
or now the change of bound realizes. Now a few
of you didn't get on, but she got an on

(01:48:59):
the party boat or whatever the st MP. So she's
running in Howardy electorate. One of the main towns in
there is Johnsonville. Johnson Rule's at the top of Narranger
Gorge when you're leaving Wellington on Statia one. Johnson Rule

(01:49:20):
has two according to Woolworst now because I think they've
all rebranded to Allays two Woolas supermarkets one hundred and
fifty meters apart. In fact, they're eventually just directly across
the road from each other. If you Google that you'll
see Waist on one side of Johnsonvill Main Road and
Walwest on the other side of Johnson Main Road. Now,

(01:49:43):
any government that says that they are open to free
enterprise and introducing competition into the supermarket sector, especially when
it's the Minister of Finance who is running for the
Johnsville electorate, I would say sort out your own electriate first,
sort out and let somebody else get into that second bording.

(01:50:07):
And of course that historically, of course one was a
wall Wars and one was a countdown or vice veressa,
and then along the way they all changed and became countdowns,
and they changed back again and they became wol Wears.
But it is a restrictive trade practice to have two
supermarkets of the same brand within one hundred and fifty

(01:50:28):
meters of each other and not having in this government
not being able to force the sale of the second
one to somebody like Costco. Perhaps isn't that you know?
They give lip service to the idea of having free
trade and introducing more depth into the supermarket monopoly jeopoly.

(01:50:53):
But when it comes to actually Nichola willis working in
her own electorate to introduce supermarket competition in her own electorate.
She's dead behind a wheel, she's asleep behind the relators.
They sleep. Well.

Speaker 2 (01:51:07):
She's talked a lot about bringing competition, but I've seen,
you know, but it seems like a long time for
anything to happen, to talk to anyone, or just to
do anything.

Speaker 8 (01:51:14):
Yeah. Yeah, And we saw that things can happen really
fast when governments get the high horse and do things
really fast. And we just go back to how fast
the firearm legislation changed in this country, which was a
very very good thing after the more shootings. It was
done within a month. Why is it that we can't change?

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Well, I think what you've got to read between the
lines is they've got no desire to do it. They
want to appear to be the whole modus operendi is
to be appear to doing change, but not doing anything
at all. Well, and and that seems to be the
government's tactic. Is just you know, it's just I don't
want to be too unkind, but they yeah, and that

(01:51:56):
seems to And they're going to turn around the economy
on the on the sale of overseas goods. So it's
taking it's taking a while.

Speaker 8 (01:52:06):
Ye, So next time we're talking an interviewer, Nicola, we'll
just ask for what you're doing about too makes constable.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Yeah, I won't be interviewing her and iss she rings in,
and I think they'd be very very unlikely. HU, but
nice to talk. Thank you, good evening, Todd. This is Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:52:20):
Welcome Hier Marcus. I was going to call yesterday when
you were talking about each year and when you said
it's sort of three to all for this last half out,
I just thought i'd share a story about them, or
cupping stories. I think you know I've been involved in
the radio industry over here for a number of years.
We used to go to an annual awards and you've

(01:52:42):
been on radio long enough to know they can be
quite raucous to ease. And used to start about midday
up in Lancaster, Gas near the West End, and every
year they used to introduce some sort of band, new
band or a new artist to try and expose them
to the different radio stations on this and most years,
by the time they came out, if one was sort

(01:53:03):
of three sheets to the wind and it was quite embarrassing.
No one would hear them and they're all talking and hearing,
and I never forget it must have been twenty years ago,
whenever it was, and each hearing came out just with
his guitar, and I've never seen the place of a
thousand people just stop.

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:53:20):
And it's always stuck with me. They literally and you know,
these are radio exprim and all sorts, and it always
felt sorry for the artist that was trying to get
exposed to Capital radio or whatever it might be. But
the whole place stopped and he just came out with
his guitar and no one had ever seen anything like
it and played about three songs and the confidence of

(01:53:40):
this young guy, and I just you know now that
where you look, there he is. I just sort of go.
I remember looking and thinking, you are going somewhere. You
are so good and todd.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
How old would he have been, well, I don't know
his age that it sort of he sort of seemed
like about it seemed like about twenty three for about
twenty years.

Speaker 7 (01:54:03):
Do you know what, I reckon he might have been
even been teenager, because that would have been I'm just
thinking where I was, and I reckon it was about
twenty nine, even earlier, maybe twenty ten, twenty eight, so.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
We're going back, you know, might he might be seventeen. Yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 7 (01:54:22):
But it was the comp it was the confidence.

Speaker 8 (01:54:24):
It was just.

Speaker 7 (01:54:26):
Something, I mean, another funny story. And then it was
Rob Woods from the Stones. He does a radio show,
reinforcement in a radio show on Absolute Radio gear and
parent I wasn't liking it. But he came to this,
came to the awards and they had an award for him.
Manyone's looking for him. They said, no, he's outside having
a cigarette through style. So he wandered and once he
finished a cigarette and came and got of the ward Stone,

(01:54:49):
I'll come in on me.

Speaker 12 (01:54:51):
He won.

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
The way turned up to You really think the Rolling
Stone would turn up for radio gig? Would you to
radio awards?

Speaker 8 (01:54:57):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:54:58):
I guess he sort of Big seven. It was on
radio booky on Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
He said he had said show. What was his show?
Just like in your rock show?

Speaker 4 (01:55:07):
Was it?

Speaker 8 (01:55:07):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:55:08):
I think it was a night show and he had
a rock show. You sort of played music and talked
about rock history and all that sort of thing. You know,
there's quite a lot of artists on radio here, like
Ronie Keaton does breakfast shows and.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
Does seem like a regular brick like a weekly daily breakfast.

Speaker 7 (01:55:25):
Yeah, he's been on Heart for a long metric. I
think it was for a long time. Yeah, he might.
I think he might have given it up. He lost
his brother, as you might have known, he's a car accident.
I think that affected him. But yeah, and I think.

Speaker 2 (01:55:40):
The Osborne of the radio show didn't he That was
Cyndy Kennon Around the World. I think he used to
play that. I'm pretty sure that happened.

Speaker 7 (01:55:46):
Yeah, I think he did. And also Alice Cooper does
one now.

Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
And I think even Dylan. I think grumpy old Bob
Dylan does one too, which is surprising that show. Yeah,
well won now I think he's I think he's a
sort of that old stuff and stuff like that. Have
you seen it Sharon perform? Has he performed this album?

Speaker 7 (01:56:11):
No, but I saw him a couple of years ago
at Wembley and he was very good. In fact, we've
got a photo in our house is my son and
his now fiance with him. And this was all probably
ten years ago. He was in Holland Park and there
was that big craze for we used to go around
and find things on your phone.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
Account Pokemon, Pokemon.

Speaker 7 (01:56:30):
There yeah, Pokemon, Yeah, Pokemon go. And he was in
Holland Park, which has got a nice area, and Incent
near having a picment with our schumachers, his now wife,
and my sudden was quite savvy. Se he waited and
he went up to him, said, look, I didn't want
to stir you lunchment. Would it be POSSI get a photo? No, prob.
We've got a lovely photo of our lounge if my
son with each year. And he said he was just

(01:56:51):
such a nice guy.

Speaker 2 (01:56:53):
Everyone always says that there appears to be no dark
side to him. He's no court and angry. It'll happened
one day, but I've never heard about it. He's never
seemed to be caught an angry moment.

Speaker 7 (01:57:02):
He's pretty pretty solid.

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
I think, Yeah, nice to hear from you. Told thank
you tin away from twelve exactly. It's not like she
put supermarkets essential food in her first one hundred day
to do list, but text text cuts made it. Antonio,
It's Marcus good evening, Oh good.

Speaker 6 (01:57:17):
Evening, Marcus. Just about Ozzie Osborne the reality show. I
sort of watched it a few times, and he seemed
a really genuine person and a nice guy and He
had one time where he had to go out and
perform on stage and he just had he had his
own routine that he did before the walking out there.

(01:57:41):
It's just, you know, he just wanted to be on
his own and.

Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
And he just not only was he genuine, he seemed
quite actually.

Speaker 6 (01:57:49):
Yeah, he really ptyped himself up. And I only really
remember one song that one read. It was like a monologue.
He came out with some He was brilliant though he
was ahead of his time.

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
When you saw that TV reality show, Antonio, he seemed
quite ordinary, didn't he He was down to earth.

Speaker 6 (01:58:09):
Yeah, he was kind of like he was a little
bit probably his earlier life had told him down, you know,
but he seemed he wasn't putting anything on. He was
just being himself, I think, and he just what's that
what I really liked about him?

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
I agree, Antonia nice. I just want talk to Bruce
before the thank you Antonia, Hi, Bruce, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:58:34):
Oh Marcus. The concert that make Seventh Play that was
at Narrawakia, and it was probably the first big sort
of concert like that, you know, peacible. It was running
New Zealand there wasn't one I think before pick a
picker down in Millington somewhere, who came out?

Speaker 2 (01:58:53):
Who was the lineup?

Speaker 14 (01:58:56):
I just remember Black Sabbath, okay, And of course the
Christians were all fizzing because they burnt the cross. Yeah,
very spectacular, you know, I mean, and it rained one day.
It was all Look.

Speaker 2 (01:59:11):
I'm also looking at the line up for Fairport Convention.
Were there also which are an extraordinary banned?

Speaker 14 (01:59:17):
Yeah, that's right, but I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
And then then much of it did you take?

Speaker 6 (01:59:22):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:59:23):
Was it like a three day You took a tent?
The heavy tint in those days, wouldn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:59:29):
Yeah, so as people did have tents, did you.

Speaker 6 (01:59:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:59:36):
Just rough at you said a poncho? Probably did you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:59:40):
No, we were sort of prout of the crew.

Speaker 2 (01:59:42):
Oh okay, Iver said, so you didn't have to.

Speaker 14 (01:59:46):
Worry about that. But that was sort of the first
I think of them. And then sweet Waters when you
know that bridge went I think north was where Narawahia was,
and then I think Sweetwater was so that they went
south for that they had a similar area.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
It was an ambassad too. I went to a lot
of the sweet Waters. I mean that was They were
remarkable events. But the Netterwahi one seems special itself, but
that was sort.

Speaker 14 (02:00:12):
Of the very first big one. I think that they
had New Zealand and then them Bessa is well, people
should look up what then am bessas because it would
translate to the great Jobstrip Festival.

Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
