Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be greetings, good even welcome, Welcome to Monday. I'm
just reading about Lemington's. I didn't realize that Lemington's were
named after the Lady Leamington of Queensland. It's an Australian thing,
and the Australians don't call them Lemington's. They call them lemos. Gosh,
there's anything more Australian than calling a Leamington a lemo. Anyway,
discovered by accident, they say. Anyway, there's National Lemington Day.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Go figure.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Get in touch by names. Marcus squat, here's a here's
a question for your question ish. I didn't realize what
the Leamington. There was a fight between using and Australia
who invented it. I always find it quite a boorish,
those people claiming things it probably invented somewhere else anyway. Anyway,
I now here's a question for you. What would be

(01:04):
the quicker way to boil a cup of water a
kettle or a microwave? You haven't got any opinions on that?
What is quicker? And once you tell me what you
think is quicker I'll take a quick pole. I've got
an answer for that, and then we'll go on to
the topic as bay and that might be easy. So, yeah,

(01:26):
what is quicker a kettle or a microwave to boil
a cup of water? What's also cheaper? Out of interest too?
If you've got an answer that, let me know. By
a boy, oh boy. The warriors was something, wasn't it?
They about liquer Hellaeseema's try. It wasn't an easy gather.
You had to get quite down and sort of gather

(01:48):
it with one hand. That was the extraordinary thing. I've
watched it a hundred times. If that anyway, I was
going to get the kids up. I was that excited.
But there we go. That's the try. That's liquer Heliesema
extraordinary anyway, Then what's what is that with our old newcastle?
It was welcome to it was welcome to mining or

(02:12):
week or something. And thought that was strange anyway, goodness,
the kittle, the microwave which quick could have boil a
glass or a cup of water. Let me know your
find it quite through because I'm going to tell you.
Then we can start with the topic at hand. Because
I was surprised by the result. You got a kettle,
you got a microwave. Some said neither, it's a jug.

(02:32):
Are people upset that I'm calling a kettle a jug
or a jug of kettle? You never know what people
do to take offense with these days.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
What's quicker the microwave or the kettle? So I've got
some answers this, but you need to ring up first.
I want to see what people think. You'd be very,
very surprised when you hear the answer, what is quicker
a kettle or a microwave?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine to de text,
how do you think a kettle would take? Out of questions? Marcus?
A few questions? How big is the cup? Doesn't matter?
What do you think, Marcus? It's microwave on both counts.

(03:25):
My mother doesn't use your juggus. He says it uses
too much power. And the microwave is quicker as well
as cheaper microwave. Microwave microwave. What do you think would
be quicker the microwave or the kettle? By the way,
never fill the kettle from the hot tap. That's an
idiot's mistake. That one never ever do that. I wouldn't

(03:47):
talk to you if you did that, They'd be terrible. Ever,
if ever, ever, ever did we like the nestal anthem?
I thought none of them were that good. Well, I
can't do it, but yeah, waiting it for it to you?
Oh God, how much longer you think? How much longer? Godness,

(04:09):
how much longer? How much longer? Anyway?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty it's an electric kettle. By
the way, we're talking about what of the kettle? Is
there a full ghettle? What do I have to say
about appliances? I'll tell you something. Seem to be talking quickly,
and I'm probably gonna jinx it right, But how good
are washing machines? Out Of all the appliances you have

(04:38):
in your house, the washing machine is the one that
just goes and goes and goes, and it's dealing with
power and water and soap, SuDS and bubbles. Extraordinary, isn't
It just goes and goes and goes. I've never ever
ever really had a washing machine go bad on me.

(05:00):
All the other appliance is cheap as anyway, I'm having
a very poor ratturn with my pole with it's fine.
People will be busy doing things, but get in touch.
Not looking good for the Mowbrays. Helly pair is it?
People are opposing like there's no tomorrow. It'll become the
mirror issue. Careful what you fight for. So yes, it's

(05:25):
going to have that. And I think that'll be a
blanket ban. And when I say bat blanket ban, I
don't mean a ban on blankets. And the other thing
I've been thinking of today, what is the eye of
the tiger that's saying what does that mean? Does it mean?

(05:47):
I've never even thought out what it means. Does it
mean it's a good eye? Yeah, it's something I've never
thought about. Parksy welcome Marcus evening.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Oh Marcus, hey, I've just got a couple of comments
on both your new topics. Also, I can imagine is
half of New Zealand boiling the jugs and the microwaves
at the moment. So I hope they make themselves a
cup of tea or a sip or something.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
What do you think is quicker?

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Ah, I don't know. I don't know. If I had
if I had ever guess, i'd probably go to microwave.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, you would go microwave. You think it's just invisible
zapping it. Yeah, it's just yeah, like magic. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
But on the Lemingtons, I used to work in a
bakery and Lemington's. I don't know whether this is the truth,
but this is what we used to do. They were
invented for using leftover sponge cakes that people didn't buy,
and we used to put them in the big old
baker's with the big churney thing in the middle, and
then you'd mold them and you put the raspberry and

(06:54):
coconut or the chocolate and tocnut on the outside. You
get a second chance of selling them the next day.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Why would you put them in the big drum because you.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Had to tune them all up to make the or
they probably put a bit of something with them to
freshen them up at it, you know, because they a
little bit dry. Probably I can't remember now because it
was a long time ago, but they put them maybe
a little bit of milk or something. They freshened them up,
and then we molded them and then we rolled them
in the in the in the strawberry jam or raspberry
jam and the chocolate sauce and rods them and taken

(07:21):
up and then sold them the next day with some
cream in the middle.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
When you say molded them, what does that mean.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'll just like it was your hands, you know, make
them into a square.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Okay, So did you did you reconstitute the old sponge
or I just thought you'd cut the sponge up into
smaller bit and then dip it in jam.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Now, because then when you bid into it was still
dry because it was sort of like a day scale.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
So what was you said? Actually you'd actually stir it all.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Up and up fluff it up a bit.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Jayn't that complicated? What was the name of the bakery,
Buggie try? What was the name of the of the bakery?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh they're all dead now. It's called Wilson and Hills.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
And you promouth what street?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
Yeah, um, Mouldlood Street. Oh yeah, But you know what.
I was quite young then and it was quite amazing.
I had to start at midnight and finish at eight
and it was terrible because quite often I had used
to go straight from the party, you know, because I
was a straight from the party to the bakery and
then sort of go through at eight o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Here, it didn't harm you they did it. But the
thing about finishing in those days, the thing about finishing
at a job where you work all night, right, yeah,
and you finish on a Friday morning at eight o'clock
and think, well, I'm ready to party, but there's nothing
going on, is there.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Well that's where you're wrong, because every morning that we
had an early open the here and you promise and
it was called the Royal, and it you used to
open at nine. So we had our afterwork streaks there
from nine in the morning till eleven, and then we
went home to bed.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Where was the Royals? Was that down on? Where was
the Royal?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
The Royals get on the corner of Braham and Guild Street.
I think it used to be the Icons. Now it's
called Icons. It's a sports bar and all that, which
is pretty good too.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I guess sports bars doing what it needs to do
is they get some pundzan for the games and stuff. Okay,
you've been good, Arksy, thank you, brilliant well Lamington's and
newly opener pubs. That was before the course with pubs
went twenty four hours. It's Icons now. When you say
gill and Gill and Gillen brom brohm n text Marcus,

(09:30):
I'd hate to have falling out of a kettles. Can
you explain to me why you don't put hot water
in it? Tony? No, not really. I think the hot
water has been recirculating in your hot water cylinder for days,
so it's kind of stale water. An electrician might tell
me more. Some would say it's also tainted by the

(09:52):
taste of the copper and your skylinder and your pipes.
I reckon I could tell the taste of a cup
of tea made when hot water's gone into the kettle.
I think that's probably teamaking one O one has never
used hot water in the kettle. People will agree or
disagree with me, and that they're more than welcome. It's

(10:12):
almost like a Facebook post you would put on and say,
oh oh dear you cheapest griepers, you should be routed
up and shop. But people that are te conn a
sews would be very upset with people doing that. Filling
the kettle from the hot tap. That's just me, But
you still haven't come through with my vote. Apart from
Parksy with great generosity of spirit, the kettle, the microwave.

(10:40):
I need your opinions on this, because I think you
might be wrong. Oh wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty
nine to nine two detect Marcus till midnight, looking forward
to your input. Oh wait, e one hundred eighty ten
eighty this is something I want to mention. I'm here
for you, Lamington. Could someone tell me in a bakery
ready if they do sort of regurgitate the whole Leabington.

(11:03):
I don't even understand how that process would work, because
you need to rebake it as well, would you? Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eight nine two text macistill midnight.

(11:25):
I'll read your text when I get a chance. Is
it true you can get legionnaires from a hot water cylinder?
I always thought it was. I spend a bit of
time in church halls and I'm always free wary of
those zips they've got they screen legionnaires to me, Although

(11:47):
if you're boiling the water, I think the legionnaires thing
that causes it is no longer viable. But look, I
might be wrong on that too. Hot water out of
the cylinder is for showering and dishes only Marcus, can

(12:10):
you and us has conferned me if the kittle boils
faster in the UK than New Zealand. That's a good question.
I feel it takes way longer heat of boil or
is it my imagination? Hot water cylinder water has been
heated over and over, cousing it to be less oxygen
in the water, making it taste different. Evening, Jason Good, Evening.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
The Marcus legionnaires. First, as soon as you just brought
it up. It breeds in dead legs in partwork that
contains warm water. So it's areas where the floor, but
essentially stagnant areas within a system, So like in the

(12:57):
zip or hot water. Soon it's impossible for it to
for it to breed, it has to be in essentially
stagnant warm water within the system.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (13:09):
So, and then on boiling water, I use a little
super lightweight camping stove to cook on often and very expensive.
But you can get gas canacters which are a beauty
and propane mix, and I can boil five hundred mills

(13:32):
of water in a pan in ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, And hell, I would have taken the microwave.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
Oh, I wouldn't have a cloever, I don't have any electricity.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh, are you in a bath? Or in a yurt.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
Uh No, I live on I live in nature.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Brilliant. Good on you, Jason. Thank you. By the way,
I don't think Jason was quite right about the hot
water seller. You've got to keep it about sixty degrees
otherwise you can get legionese disease. So that's why you
don't have it so hot. You're being your kids. But
you gonna have it hot enough so it kills the
big tire. What is it? What is it? What is it?
It's a bacteria, is it? Yeah, the Legionella bacteria. That

(14:10):
would be my take on that one. Joseph Marcus, welcome,
good evening, if.

Speaker 8 (14:14):
You're at evening Marcus, hot water. Yeah, now I'm going
to say it's the jug, but conditional that you're heating
the same amount of water.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, good, good point.

Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yeah, because microwaves are generally eight hundred watts I think,
and a hot water jug I think it's twelve hundred
watts and of course designed very efficient to heat the water.
But if you only wanted a single cap two fifty miles,
jugs have generally have a minimum of five hundred mills.
If you have to heat twice the amount of water
and the jug to what you need for a cap. Then,

(14:46):
of course, eating twice as much water will take longer
than a single cup in the microwave. If you want
two cups, then.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Then two cups will go with the kittle or the jug. Yeah,
it's interesting point with that distinction about how much water
you want. I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, might be
one of they said, it goes different, goes viral.

Speaker 8 (15:11):
Yeah, because it's you know, you're talking about too too.
I think I'm not quite sure. I think jug very
but I think you're talking around twelve hundred watch versus
eight hundred watched the microwave.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
So when you do it, and you do need more
than a cup too, don't you Otherwise it just kind
of fizzles around.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does and tame. So you've got
to watch it. If you have a good cup with
no floors and you heat it up, you find that
the top is really hot, the water hasn't maxed, and
you have the top of the water very hot and
the bottom of the cup cold. I've had that happen.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, it's interesting. It takes us Yeah, okay, yep, okay,
I'm not just yeah, Joseph I'm liking what you've got
to say there. That well, that Dad's added texture to
this discussion. If you got if you've got a thought
on this, hopefully the go all night on this. Because

(16:07):
according to the article I'm reading right, heating a mugg
of water in a microwave takes two minutes forty seconds,
and a kettle it takes forty eight seconds. So the
kettle is three as over three times quicker forty one

(16:31):
hundred and twenty one hundred and forty four, which is
two minutes twenty four versus two minutes forty Yes, over
three times quicker. Microwave heating can produce uneven temperature and
inconstructed Oh yes. Because the reason I'm talking about this
right is because two thirds of people under thirty are

(16:55):
now making tea in the microwave, and I think they're
being as indecent as just checking the bag and the
cup and doing it that way, saying they should be
rounded up and putting a field. However, it does seem wrong,
doesn't it. Yeah, I know, America, it's weird. They don't

(17:15):
really have kettles because the whole power system is different.
That's why every time you see a sitcom when they're
making coffee. They're doing that through one of those things
with a drip lad and a filter, which always feels weird.
By the way, what do you do with lecks? If
you get given leaks, what do you do with them?
It's kind of a strange vegetable to cook, isn't it?

Speaker 9 (17:34):
Lecks?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
When they look good and they're the basis for a
lot of things, but really what's the point? And everyone
always says a kish, don't they are a tart? Anyway?
The old leak? And yeah, cooking tea in the microwave, Marcus.

(18:07):
Have you seen plants that were watered, one with water
head from the microwave and cooled down and one from
a kettle cooled down. The one with the microwave water
didn't grow very well, Marcus, do have to be a
qualified trade to remove in a place of hot water cylinder?
Or can one do it? I imagine you have to
be a trady Marcus, don't know about boiling water. I'm

(18:34):
making cheese sauce in the microwave as I enjoy a
rum and don't want to forget about the element anyway,
get in touch at your show. Remember that you can
steer it eye of the tiger. What is the eye

(18:57):
of the tiger? Anyway? He'n. My name is Marcus. Welcome.
Anyone out there want to confess to making tea in
the microwave? I haven't drug tea for a while, so
it's quite I'm quite fine to talk about it. But
we don't have a microwave, so if ever I was

(19:19):
drinking tea, it would always be in the kettle or
the forgettlers, I think we call it these days. Looking
forward to James Blunt, he'd be the sort of guy
to have one of those cameras and the audience to
come on, you wouldn't take the mistress?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Beautiful? Only three d of tickets left. Goodness, I'd be
a small venue, wouldn't it. Oh, Spark Spark Arena. Get
in touch? Oh? What would be the worst cup of
tea you've ever been served? I suppose from the hot
tap would be pretty bad, wouldn't it? Get in touch?

(19:55):
My name's Marcus, Welcome, Hitdle twelve. It's boiling a cup
of tea. It's kettled and all that, and the fact
that the kettle is three times quicker than the microwave.
But the young people, they're all in the microwave. They're
all in. Don't ever think they think they've got a kettle.
I kind of think Leamington's probably one of those things
that's you don't know where we are on Leamington. I

(20:17):
think probably it's done its dash. It's probably due for
a revival. I think whether that Leamington. These days people
want something that's a bit more instagrammable. You have to
sort of cut in half and stuff it with something,
wouldn't you. It's got to be a reconstructed, deconstructed Leamington,
have to pipe something into it through a sort of
giant syringe or something to you know, these days, you

(20:39):
can't just have a Leamington. It's got to be crossed
with something else, like crossed with a cronut, cramington or something.
It would be my guess, don't even know what you
could mix a Leamington with with a custard square or something.
What do you call those things? Like a mesh up

(21:01):
and leaks. We're onto leeks. Marc is still hungry after dinner.
I'm so frying up pumpkin with the skin on jugs
At eighteen hundred Watson when it says five hundred mills.
It's actually about three fifty mills. Any air pressure will
say only heat what you need, no excess, Marcus, I

(21:26):
don't want to confuse things even more, but I'd like
to enter a third horse into your two horse race.
I'm pretty sure an induction hob what is that would
hit the kettle microwave out of the ballpark with water
heating speed. I don't even know what induction hob? Is
that something you drop in the cup. Oh, it's one

(21:49):
of those. It's one of those flesh elements on a stove.
Chop leaks and rounds and frying butter with mushrooms and
lemon pepper and put on steaks. Yes, well that's copnict,
isn't it Marcus. I'm obsessed with lek o gratan. Add
some Preteran's delicious anyway, Lines three. If you want to

(22:11):
be a part of the show, my name is Marcus. Welcome,
need your calls good evening one oa o Hittle twelve.
I'll do the breaking news when it happens, also tonight,
So get in touch with this. Something you want to
say about that'd be great to hear from you. With
the kettle, but yet would you be offeeded if you

(22:35):
went out someone they did the tea cup of tea
in the microwave? You probably would be? Would you mystery
illness ripped through cruise? No surprises, They're they're giant floating
petri dishes, aren't they? Navigator navigator of the seas? But
do get oh jeepest, creepers, We've got people there twenty
four away from nine John AT's Marcus, Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Good evening, Marcus. I'm a plumber, but I was an
inspector for about twenty five years only about the discharge
discharge of water from a tap, the use for personal hygiene.
It can't discharge I think from memory it can't be
more than fifty five degrees, so you can't be boiling.

(23:21):
And it's different for the kindergarten with little kids, and
it's different for an old folks have as well. I
think it was thirty five I think, So that's the
that's the requirement for that. That can It's okay over
the sink because that's where you're washing dishes, but you've
got to be very careful about the other.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
What's the other the shower?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Oh yeah, well, that's for personal hygiene anywhere we're going
to have a bath, yep, or a vanity or a shower. Okay,
it can't discharge more than fifty five degrees.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Okay, I thought it couldn't be less. I thought it
couldn't be less than sixty because of Salmonella.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Doesn't come into it. As far as expecting the discharge
of water. It's good serned. But you know you called
it a kettle, Well you call it a jug. It's
an electric jug. They called it the kettle.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
People don't call it. The people got not call it kettles.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, you only have a kettle is something that you
put on a guest of.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
At the bottom of it.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Oh yeah, okay, it was in the article. In the
article it called it a kettle. Might be a British thing,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
But when it's got the element in it and b
it's a jug.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
It season us in hot water. So this should be
set to a minimum of sixty to sixty degrees. But
might have changed its your day?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh well, yeah, could have it could have could have been.
But you can't. You to be careful with kids. That was,
you know, like a kindergarten. You know where kids might
go and turn a tap on. You can't have a
tap of that somebody kid might turn on a little child.
It can't come out at the temperature that might scold them.

(25:16):
And there's different, as I say, for old folkes homes
as well. I can't remember now it's about twenty years
and so on. Eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh jeepers, okay. I thought most people would call a
kettle a juger kettle, although I am seeing some discussion
online people saying why a kettle is called jugs in
New Zealand. Never thought that there was some sort of
great cultural divide there. Well, I say, a kettle is

(25:50):
a device for boiling water. There you go the things
we find. Marcus, maybe theirs a firm. It would win
hands down of the Bengazi boiler. Marcus. A couple of
ty on in Forge is a brewer of the old
gang is on the side of the railway, brewed for
a now minimum and you could stand a spoon in it.
I did read a very long article once about the

(26:11):
origin of Legionese disease. It was a group of Legionese,
which is like a military group in America. I don't
even know what they do they like war, people that
get together. Yeah, the Legioniers, I don't know if they're
still going, but they had a conference in Philadelphia and

(26:34):
they all got sick. But that's the Legion. I don't
even know what the Legionese are. I think they are
just people that enjoyed the war. Different from the French
Foreign Legion. Someone might tell me about that. I don't
even know they're existing anymore. Maybe they all I might

(26:55):
be called the American Legion. Good evening, June. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Oh, hi'm Marcus. I've never sign before. Must A misunderstood?
I thought you were talking about Legionnaire's disease.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yes, we are in some ways years All right, Well.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
My mother had it and I'm from mom from Tasmania.
But I've been here since I was eighteen. I'm eighty five.
And she was flown to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. I
told me she was dying goods and I flew over
and she was for eighteen days and then she come
out of it and was fine. And it was from

(27:31):
potting sail.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, they say that's the common way to get it.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
She was always potting up like I am, and with
potting mix, always wear a mask.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
You do it?

Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yes, I do now since my mother nearly died.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, it seems for yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
I am.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Yeah, I'm very careful, so because I put up a
lot of my great gardener and so as I say,
for twenty odd days a mother was on the way
out and it was just a miracle she come out
of it. But she just left for the week, art
and different things which she lived. Yes, all right, I'll
enjoy your program in a long time listed that I've
never phoned in.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
You're a good gardener, as the soil good. Whereabouts do
you live?

Speaker 6 (28:11):
We're in a new street at what city?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well it was a christ church brilliant. Okay, Christ we're
on ta.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
Good place off epsom Rode. But we was over at
Kashmir and we've got bulldost after the earth where we've
got a uuse though it's not new news get older.
But anyway in the garden, and I always put a mask,
and I've got potting mixed out there now, but I've
never forgotten, so I always wear a mask.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Brilliant. Okay, there we go during the gardener brilliant. I
don't know what the American legion that must be called
that's the people that's the one that got the Legionaier's disease.
I never know what they are. It's an organization of veterans.

(29:00):
There must just be a lobby group, I think, or
a steering committee. Mike is just clearing up the confusion
with their healthy hot water temper. The water cylinder has
to be set at sixty degrees a minimum, which comes
out at fifty five degrees at the tap? Good on
your mail? Is it mixed? Does it lose five Does

(29:24):
it lose five degrees just coming down the pipe? Why
is there saying a kettle of fish? I think a
kettle is also something you boil things in all they
talk about kettle fudge and stuff. I don't know, but
I never thought people would push back on calling the
thing you plug an electric kettle. Marcus, off the top
of your head, how many passenger boats and ships around

(29:45):
the world have running ground, capsize or sunk this year alone?
Not the greatest for tourism. Well, you've got to have
quite a few people killed to get it hit the
headlines these days. Particularly it's in Asia. Marcus. Hot water
cylinders have a thing called a tempering valve. This is
news to me. The water in the cylinder is kept
hotter to be safe from bugs in the valve bleeds
some gold water in before it gets to the tap

(30:08):
to call it off so it doesn't burn. Cheers Joel.
I wonder if I've got actually, by the way, sweet
the chimney on the weekend needed it. It's got a
wet back, but burning gorse. The Great had almost melted actually,

(30:30):
so boy, it must have been hot. Yeah, it was
white hot, and one of the I'd like to say rungs,
but one of the bits of metal that go across
the Great had come away from the rest of it.
It's still good to go, but I thought jeepers, creepers,

(30:52):
fairy good desession of becoming quite good at sweeping the chimney.
What you got to do is you're got to sweep
it so much that when you're looking at it, you
can see the end of the sweeping brush that's poked
right down. That's the best way you'll get to penetration.
Twelve to nine Modoch, Marcus, welcome, good evening, Good easing Marcus.

Speaker 11 (31:12):
Hey, I was having and Aaron beat calling you about
cavite and the and the microwave. But who did you're
talking about your fire. Did you say you've burnt gorse?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (31:22):
Ah, because I love a big fire. Believe, I'm a
big believer in the open fire. What did you go
in and kill these?

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Like?

Speaker 11 (31:29):
You must have a confex for a for that.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh yeah, it's big stuff. It's old old gorses about
twenty years old. I can be can be about how
two thirds of a foot across?

Speaker 11 (31:40):
How does one how does someone go about getting a
big to the load? Of course?

Speaker 3 (31:44):
What like that?

Speaker 11 (31:46):
Intriguing because I love a good fire.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Gorse burns. Gorse burns hotterer than anything of I think,
But who the coward purns really hot? But you can't
get hold of Yeah, that'll blow out the great Gorse
burns really hot?

Speaker 11 (32:02):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Unbelievably hot?

Speaker 11 (32:05):
And so what did you go and think it was already?
Did you cut it up?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I've got a lot of I've got a lot of
gorse that I'm clearing. So I spend a lot of
time sawing it down and drying it. Oh, very much
out of trouble with gorse. You can't just leave it.
You can't just chop it down and leave it on
the section, because it's highly flammable, yeah, turb and tine
or something. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, so you've got to
be a bit careful with it.

Speaker 11 (32:31):
You must have a lot of gorse cheek, yes, yes, yes,
but the whole cover of tea things. Anyone that makes
cover of tea in the microwave, in my opinion, is
a little bit of a turkey like it. I've never
had a good cover of tea never.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
So you wonder what these people are on it? What
are these people living?

Speaker 12 (32:46):
What?

Speaker 7 (32:47):
What?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
What else are they doing?

Speaker 12 (32:48):
Well?

Speaker 11 (32:48):
You know they also there if you go into like
some office blocks, they had those hot TETs that you
push it and brings in hot water. Once again, not
hot enough, No, no, no, you need the old kettle blackground,
the outside flames underneath it.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
At least with those at least with those zips there,
the old church hools, you'd know they'd be born because
at the top sometimes Yeah, those fantastic did want one
in the house, wouldn't you?

Speaker 12 (33:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (33:13):
And the old coffee sort of a you know, flick
the dial, it all palls out. But I'm glad to
tell me about gorse. Something going to find fine?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Up?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Are you an open fire or a wood burner.

Speaker 11 (33:25):
Ah, well, I love it open fire, but it's getting
harder and harder to light.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
But ye know what, burner brilliant? Liking your murdoc nine
from nine Marcus till twelve hour? Are you what's happening? Marcus?
My mother went to a brother's house, made herself a
terrible cup of tea, only to find two old sevalois
in the jug. Brother would come home from the pub
and cookers dinner, and the jug safer than the stove.
Aren't Legioneer's adult scouts. There's a group of Nelson Chris.

(33:55):
The old tempering valve makes perfect sense now, the old
tempering valve, Marcus, I have been making keshus sort of
clearing the gorse of the proper and getting eighty bucks
a meter for it. Be hard work making money out
of firewood, wouldn't it. I don't want to tell you
to get eighty a meter. If I guess you got
a chainsaw, be a good hour's work, absolutely, Marcus. I

(34:21):
cleared my section years ago with fifteen foot high gorse
head magnificent pieces five six inches across, burns insane. He
hot nothing like it, and that way gorse fires out
of controller. So hard to extinguish. What about the cup
of tea with the savoloids and the jug kettle jug
slash kettle hered midnight. My name is Marcus. A good evening,

(34:43):
he'dle twelve. We're talking about basically I want to talk.
We've been sidetracked and hijacked this hour because I don't
want to talk about making tea in the microwave and
how bad it is, very very bad. Should be out, lord,
But you can't police things like that, can you? Edle twelve.

(35:04):
My name is Marcus. Welcome, oh, eight hundred eighty eight
nine the text. You want to come and be a
part of it? Trump say anything on truth social Dan
not for seven hours to worry. He's building up to something.

(35:31):
Why does mashed potato in the restaurant always tasts better,
taste better? Insane amounts of butter? Pretty much always the answer,
insane amounts of butter. I could have told you that
before clicking on the article.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
We made a delicious smokefish pie for dinner tonight, which
had lenks and peas in the white sauce and mash
buds on top server with steamed silver beaten carrots, fabulous
mell and leks go really well with a smoked fish. Yes,
it seems to be a good combo that, Marcus. I'm
in the pack and saving an anger. You're at the moment.
A guy in his partner in front of me and
he was wearing a swander I looked it was made

(36:17):
of old woolen blankets. I said, man, I love you, Jackie.
He took off and said, I make them myself. Here,
you can have it. I am now toasty warm. So thanks.
Cool people everywhere, Marcus. Wow, Wow, whether the swanderer or
a poncho, they'll be coming back. We are talking cups

(36:39):
of tea and microwaves, and this is a rich territory
for us, Marcus. They say, never make a cup of
tea using a hotel jug as people often use it
to sterilize their underwear when they need to rewear them
for the next day. Don't if they sterilize them. I
thought they washed them. I guess it's the same thing,
is it. And probably the bad thing about that rumor

(37:05):
is it probably is given people ideas to do that thing.
Oh well, Marcus, a zip story for you. We had
an old mechanic at work who religiously filled the zip
and head it every morning, so one of our drivers
would go in first and fill the zip just past
the top of the sight glass, so the mechanical wouldet

(37:28):
a shower every time. We knew by the wet patch
on the wooden floor when he tried to wipe it up.
He never said a word, but we catch him every time. Yeah,
the old zip, the old sight glass, great things. My
mother drove from Gisbon to well Engine to buy one
of the first microwaves I think they shot was Elvi
Martin Sons. She was told don't put anything metal in it,

(37:48):
like teaspoons, plates with gold paint on it, etc. As
they may cause sparking. But also never boiler heat milk
or cream in the microwave because it would affect the
pasteurization process and may cause health problems. Do you know
how many dads and mums heat milk baby's bottles full
of milk in the microwaves?

Speaker 3 (38:08):
A lot?

Speaker 2 (38:10):
How old is too old for hot water? Some in
the minus nineteen fifty seven z zip low pressure water
heater keep to a wet back log burning with a
glass door, Marcus. That's why I always use an apartment hotel.
They have washing machines in them quest hotels. Well, it'd

(38:31):
be hard to know if people are washing their underwear
and the kettles, wouldn't it. But weren't they washing in
the microwave? The worst cup of tea you've ever had?
And more importantly, what should we do with people young
people making tea in the microwave? Is it that terrible?
Because I put the tea bag in first and just

(38:53):
check it on for the brew. Doesn't sound good, does it?
You've got a comment, be good to hear from you.
Good news for Gore people. They can drink their water again.
Must have reten might be something you want to mention. Also,
what's happening in Heavlock. They're still on a boil notice thing.

(39:15):
I think Star Trek and Mission Impossible, Star Tom Troop.
Tom Troop dies aged ninety seven. They say, hollywoods in
the morning. I don't know him. David Day and Mission
Impossible TV series. There you go, Fort the Coryan wore

(39:41):
water bronze Star Oh It's Leamington Day, which they say
is just a thing for old sponges. Pretty much seems
to be an Australian icon.

Speaker 8 (39:57):
YEP.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
The trouble with the Lamington. It's got to be not
too big. There's got to be the right ratio of
sponge to the surf sear of the outing. Otherwise it's
just hard work. In Australia they have Leamington drives. I've
never heard of those. Lamington drives gain popularity because the
cakes are simple cost effect that can be made in bulk.

(40:24):
They're small enough to sell individually, but versatile enough for
creative packaging. This practicality has turned them into an iconic
fun run raiser for schools, sports teams and community groups.
I've never ever been involved with a Lamington fundraiser, but

(40:44):
we sure that's a good thing. Someone game dadded or
selling Lamington's. I be there. They do call them cubed joy.
In some countries they save warm with custard. It's as
bad as microwave t I think for most people that

(41:05):
are portal simpler times, it's like food is time travel?
Am I right? I think I might be? Oh there
you go, let me remember those from days gone by, Marcus,
I've boiled two eggs, are hard boiled two eggs, and
the Motel jug before so terrible cups of teas kettle
confessions leaks and microwaves. Good evening, John, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (41:35):
Oh hello John, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
H John.

Speaker 9 (41:40):
Yeah. For a long time now, I've been making my
cup of tea from a TV in the microwave, and
I really really enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
It's could you tell us how? You tell us how
you do it?

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Be fun?

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Can you tell me how you do it?

Speaker 13 (41:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:58):
I put that.

Speaker 9 (41:59):
I get a mug, you know, mugs about three quarters
of the up with cold water, and put the tea
bag in it, and put the tea bag in all
into the microwave and cook it for two minutes. Any

(42:20):
longer and it starts to overflow. And it's nice. And
I like a strong cup of tea, so it's nice
and strong. When I first tried it, it was a
little bit of trepretation. I didn't think i'd like it,
but I'd never go back to messing around chug.

Speaker 10 (42:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Oh you're quite you're quite committed to us.

Speaker 9 (42:45):
Oh heck. Here, it's much more convenient, and it tastes different.
It could be a bit stronger. If you don't like
it too strong, perhaps the best way would be to
boil the water up in the microwave first and then
burn the tea bag in it and let it draw
for as long as you like to let it draw.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Okay we should and judge John, I appreciate your honesty.

Speaker 14 (43:08):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
There we go. Edit's Marcus along. Good evening, and I don't.

Speaker 13 (43:15):
Talk about the Kiwi's winning race today over overseas.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Yeah, sure, I didn't know. They had for bringing that
to my attention.

Speaker 13 (43:23):
Yeah, they we won. We won the cup again and
it was a great, great race for them. Australia. I
think got last. I think I'm not too sure of it,
but I have a great team. They really really went
really well for your race.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Do you watch it?

Speaker 13 (43:44):
I watched the weather, Yeah, we're on it's on TV
tonight today. To be open, it was okay, Yeah, it
was good race and they won an in so it
was good.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
The trouble I've always saw it is it were the
first across the line? Were the ones to win the
first across the start line? Or was it some changing
of the leak.

Speaker 13 (44:06):
Or sending your points to win the race? Had win
so many races to win the series?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Yeah, but is it the sort of racing that if
you win the start you've won the race?

Speaker 13 (44:18):
Now it was who we match racing like been number
wind shifts and all that sort of stuff. It's really interesting.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
So did the lead did the lead change during the
did the lead change during the race? Okay?

Speaker 13 (44:29):
Times queas come from about six and one family.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Okay, leaves a bit cold. You'ret racing, but you know
I watched the America's Cup, but probably not that. But
good on you. You've enjoyed it. That's the main thing.
Thank you, Hit'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine, two detexts.
Looking forward to what you've got to say. Hit on
Midnight Kettleton. I didn't even know it was on the
Hot Racing, but good to know that it's taken hold

(44:54):
to people. Marcus loved the show. I was just wondering,
I want to go to the NRL Final. Does anyone
know how to get tickets? The best way? Yeah? I
don't know what the answer is because I presume tickets
are available because people are waiting to see what teams

(45:17):
are in them before they buy them. If anyone knows
the best way to get tickets for the NRL, finally,
let us know this. Someone wanting tickets someone's text, and
I haven't heard back from the library. I think that's
the wrong text, isn't it, Marcus. A good Leamington is divine,
but it must have a nice thick layer over the sponge.

(45:39):
Chocolate strawby the mainstays, but lymeon pineapple ones always add
color to a cafe cabinet.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Rod.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
I hated sugar in my teas. I worked hard on
the woolshared rowses and shearers need that sugar, Marcus. Our
local school in christ which has a Lamington Drive as
a fundraiser. Love the tale of the Salve and the Kettle.
What a hoot enduring the show, Deb, I've cooked two

(46:08):
minute noodles, and I've cooked two minute noodles in a
kettle in a motel. No microwaves or elements to cook
anything on or in, Deb. I hope you're instant afterwards.
Are you broadcasting from Bluff? No, I go into inver
a cargo. I could broadcast from Bluff if our house

(46:30):
was bigger, Marcus. Just speaking of hard boiled eggs, the
best hard boiled eggs are done in the air fra
these days. You can set the time and they are perfect.
I recommend one hundred and twenty degrees for fourteen minutes. Marcus,
the worst cup of tea I overhead was impossible to

(46:51):
drink back in the sixties, and neighbored cleaned his silver
tea service with pink silver clean on the inside as
well of the outside. Marcus. I make pension his tea
into a pan on the range top, put a cup
cup of water, the huge surface area of contact and

(47:11):
the high temperature. As soon as the water boiling safety
from the bottom up. Then switch off and after the
bubbling stopped at the tea bag, tip back into the
cup and had milk that's wanted. Takes no time and
recost effective. A lot of people cooking eggs and motel
kittles just by NRL tickets via just by NRL via

(47:35):
Ticketteck Australia. I don't know what they need from the library.
After boiling the jug to make coffee, the water wouldn't
pour it out. On an investigation, I'd found I boiled
a mouse. You don't know what you'd hear from the library.
Oh wait eighty and nineteen to ninety text um, Yeah, anyway,

(48:01):
get in touched by names Marcus Welker. There's something different.
You want to engine out more than welcome, so yes
to get in touch if you want to talk, keep
those texts extremely good texts, Marcus Evening Marcus, I am
a golf widow in North Aukland. I'm interested out there
any golf widow groups I could join and meet other

(48:23):
ladies in the same situation as me. Now, I don't
know what a golf widow was. Are you someone who
plays golf when your husband's died, or are you a
widow because your husband's always playing golf. Chips are best
done in the air for if you know what you're doing.

(48:45):
I hate the microwave, never use it, but my friends do.
When they come they reheat their tea or coffee. They
thaw things out. I'll be happy to get rid of it.
Have you seen the Aurora Australis?

Speaker 6 (48:57):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Often. In fact, next week we are getting a Japanese
students staying with us for ten days whose name is Rui,
and that's one of his missions is to see the

(49:17):
Aurora Australis, so hopefully that will be happening. I think
he's eleven or twelve, likes Uno Pizza's and wants to
see the Aurora Australis, so I'm excited about that. I
think you're like the new lambs on the farm too,
because don't Japanese love lambs. I made that'll keep them going.

(49:40):
I'll take him to see the Southland Stags. I think
they're playing Otago for the local derby next Saturday. It's
all lined up, Marcus. Don't worry about Leamington. It's a
big juicy custard. Screw is the way to go. Had
one of the week and beautiful, nice white custard on
the top and the yellow. He's a word cast and

(50:03):
I think it's castle. What will that be close to
on spelch? Maybe crust, yellow crust on the bottom. Beauty
at work boiled my two eggs and jug did open
in time at three minutes. The best can you see

(50:26):
with a naked eye? I care you mean? Oh you
mean they're rory? Is very much so, but not often,
Marcus are managing lots of hotels. I never use hotel kettles,
let alone. The glass were all cups. They are rinsed
by the staff in the bathroom usually if you are lucky,

(50:52):
and the housekeeping staff don't carry kitchen towels with them,
so how they dried, usually an unused handtawel or face cloth.
Ask yourself, have you ever seen a trolley of dirty
cups going from rooms to a central cleaning area. It's
a good point. You make, good point, you make, so
there we go. That's something. Or they can worry about

(51:12):
think too many things, though, couldn't you. I've seen someone
cook bacon in a microwave.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
They ate it.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
I wish they didn't. Is it a bear? I don't
know much about microwaves at all. All I know is
that the article on reading says that the majority of
young people in Britain are making tea in the microwave.
I can tell you the story gen X who are

(51:43):
using microwaves to make their covers. Two thirds I've under
thirties admitted to making a brew this way. A pole
of two thousand Britain sixty percent of gen Z reporters
responded say they blast cups of cold water and tea
bags in the microwave. Although it takes it long, it
takes three times longer than just boiling it in a
jug or a kettle. Microwave heating can produce uneven temperature,

(52:08):
and this is an extraction of the tea bioactives, which
are packed with health and wellness benefits. The brew is
flat with a stewed flavor. Experts say the best way
to make a cup of tea is to pour boarding
water over a tea bag, leave it to steep for
three to five minutes, about stirring and adding a splash
of milk, milk, milk, or that guy that always rings

(52:31):
up and tells me how good my speech is. That
anyways freaks me out. But yeah, I think it's a
dirty trick. Twenty two percent of Britons pour cold milk
into the tea before the boarding water and making a
cup of tea each to your own. I like people

(52:52):
just see me text the whole time as I'm not
at work, asking me questions. Yeah, I don't really want
to be text interviewed about the Aurora, if you don't mind.
Got my focus on other things. Marcus, the student will
be in Heaven. Have introduced to some local seafood. I'd
forgotten about that. It's a very good point. Actually, we'll

(53:16):
get them on the cod train. I'd try microwave team myself.
I wouldn't give one to nan oh No, I don't
think your grandparents want it anyway, Well, I reckon I'll
tell you what they reckon that it's all heating up
with a heavy pad in Auckland. And I reckon that

(53:40):
what the group what this power couple, and they called
power couple of rich listers. What they've managed to do
is mobilize people to start thinking, Hey, this is our city.
It's a democracy, we have some say in what happens.
And I think what's going to happen is probably there

(54:01):
will be some decision made to ban Hells from Auckland.
I could see it happening. I'm not saying it's the
right thing, but I could see it happening. And boy
or boy, all the other people with helicopter pads have
been going across their time just quietly are going to
be fairly upset that these people have actually done the

(54:22):
appeal in taking this to the courts, because I wouldn't
be surprised if that's what happens, because they say that
using a helicopter is inherently residential like using a bike
or a car, which is saying is absurd, which it
probably is. And what's the thing that I find interesting,

(54:42):
by the way, Counselor Mike Lee was expected to bring
a notice of motion to ban helicopters and residential areas
to the Council's policy and plenty committing on Thursday, which
councilors will vote on and it mightn't pass this time,
and I'm sure they'll make an election issue for councilors
trying to vote to get in. I'm sure plenty of
councilors will say we're going to ban helicopters. That's something
that I believe in because it probably would get them

(55:03):
votes because what is interesting is it? And I'll fact
check this because you've got to these days in residential Sydney,
helicopters are not allowed. And I don't think anyone's got
a problem with that. It seems like it's the norm
not to have helicopters flying around because it's not like

(55:25):
a car or a bike. It's quite a different thing.
Even it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (55:33):
Yeah, Marcus good evan.

Speaker 15 (55:36):
Yeah, the old helicopter has been flying around for the
last half an hour or so out of here at East.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Oh yeah, is it the police one?

Speaker 4 (55:45):
I guess so, because there's been quite a few sirens going.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yeah, okay, which part of which part of whereabouts at
East Tamaki. Are you whereabouts?

Speaker 16 (55:54):
Is that.

Speaker 11 (55:56):
I sort of half moon Bay out towards Okay.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Okay, okay, I don't know what that is. Okay. At last,
if you hear anything more, Evan, thank you. Twenty two
to tend Pete Marcus welcome you get in there, Marcaus.

Speaker 15 (56:09):
I think like you as far as I'm concerned helicoppers.
You know, if you want to fly, if you want
to fly helicops, you go to the appropriate process that
you have your own helipad at the airport or somewhere
or some industrial area. It doesn't give the people the
right to where does it stop?

Speaker 5 (56:28):
I reckon that.

Speaker 15 (56:29):
You know, people on shift work, people got their clothes
on the clothes line, and you have a chopper just flying,
and you know it's not not right as far as
I can see, you.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Know, I mean the question for me, I mean, I'm
ambivalent because I don't live there, in or some I'm
the ambivalent about I We've got quite a lot of
helicop direction down on Bluff because there's always people going
to the Mutton Birders, or there's always dot going to
Rocky euro and stuff. So there's quite a bit of
a helicopter direction. It doesn't worry me because it's part
of the living on the edge of the world. That's
what it's like. But you know what the trouble with

(56:59):
this couple is sometimes you'll win the battle and lose
the war. And I reckon that's what's going to happen.
And not only can they not fly to their batch,
but I reckon probably they'll bean helicopters from Auckland. It
mightn't be this year, but certainly people think, hey, that's crazy,
and within two, three, four, five years, I reckon they'll
do it.

Speaker 15 (57:19):
I reckon it should be. As I'm repeating myself, at
as far as I seen, it's where does it stop?
You know, and you know it's just done, noisy they
go on to be peopled. You know, fly you know,
how to fly drones around. You've got to have a
special license for that.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
So yeah, I mean, I mean, I thought, by now
we're all supposed to have flying cars, are we are?
We okay about them flying around?

Speaker 15 (57:45):
And it's never gonna come to that.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
I think I think, you know, well, I think I
think a flying cars just like a big drone, isn't it?
With those four helicopters that picks you up and takes
you where you want to go.

Speaker 15 (57:56):
Yeah, I think you know you're talking about flying cars.
You you get too dangerous, Marcus, you can't do that.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
Next to you.

Speaker 15 (58:02):
There's a lot of how much you can have on
the air up there, and it's got you go back
of the choppers anyway, far as I am, sooner I
hope there'll be counselors vote against us and you go
to the appropriate praises to take off. And because they
go to the airport, go to whatever, but more industrial
area and that's where it should stop. And just because
they've got money, what does then give them the right

(58:23):
to override the majority of people?

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Everyone else says either it's the politics of envy? Are
you'd be a microwavet person, wouldn't you?

Speaker 6 (58:32):
No?

Speaker 15 (58:33):
I don't actually know. I'm always the old jug person's.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Plugging the jug pete. That's what we want to hear.
Nineteen to ten, hitdle twelve, gentle, ramble three your Monday
night and get in touch if you've got breaking news
or anything that's important. They think they've missed out talking
about tonight. I'm working at all. The Rugby League shows.
They're all still going about licqua hellaesima. It certainly seems

(58:58):
to be the moment of the NRL round the way
you gather the ball. Not quite sure if you said,
what country's going to play as rugby is international rugby league?
For that will be of interest, be straight into the
test ting. There's no doubt about that. He's a match winner.

(59:19):
I don't know which teams have got internationals coming up
this year. I know that the Ozzi's ha got the
Eshes the big series with the English. He said he
won't be playing for Australia. That would be my pack,
but I don't think he is in Australian.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine to
Dicks Marcus till twelve. If you do want to come through,
there's something else you want to talk about. We're back
on chopp it's not a problem. And tea in the
microwave not a problem. And anything else that you want
to talk about to know, Oh and it's yeah, what
about a Leamington Drive They say in Australia it's a
very popular fundraiser. I don't know about them in New Zealand.

(59:57):
Someone said they've had one in christ Church. It's a
damn good idea. We're always looking for fundraisers. I'll mention
that next time. And you wouldn't say no to a Lamington,
would you. But yes, there's something different you want to
mention tonight, too quick, flurry on the old helicopter. I

(01:00:25):
wait for the courts. The politics of envy. People are
just jealous that someone's got a helicopter. I think there's
probably a lot of people that got their money to
get a helicopter but don't get one because they say
it has been sort of something, sort of slightly ghost.
That would be the right word ghost. Yeah, I think
that sums it up. Who was responsible for cleaning up

(01:00:48):
pigeon excrement does in a high street and beat them down?
The Foo footpath was a mess. Feel sorry for the
businesses whose frontage is affected. If you walk to work
in the wind to put a hot boiled egg in
your pocket to keep warm. If I was making ten
in the microwave and I heat the water first before
putting the tea bear agin, I reckon. It's the danger

(01:01:09):
of helicopters spitting out of control that drives no flies
zones in cities being a few disasters as a result
of that. Rob Western Waes and many will not forget
the police helicopter that went down over their graft And
Bridge a number of years back. It's probably fresh in
some people's memory. They're probably thirty years ago. I think

(01:01:32):
I think there's people killed on the ground with that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I don't know that I should fact check that myself,
but it certainly happened during peak hour traffic right over
Grafton Bridge Free big Ustaur in its day there, nineteen

(01:01:58):
ninety three.

Speaker 17 (01:02:03):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Yes, I don't kindly know what happened. Was it a crash?
I can't remember. Four people died? They say it's a
miracle it wasn't more. I think they're all on board.

(01:02:31):
The helicopter actually won two three four, Yes, yes, so
there wasn anyone killed on the ground. Gosh, I'll tell
you what. I'm slightly sick of the old kiss cam
memes by now. That's been a big weekend on the internet,
hasn't it. I don't even know what will make of

(01:02:53):
that in time. I'm sure there's a Wikipedia. Is there
a Wikipedia page for it? Dan have a chap this
day in nineteen sixty nine. Guess what happened. I'll tell you.
First person walks on the Moon. Didn't realize that. And

(01:03:14):
this day, a year ago, Joe Biden announced that he
was ending his reelection bid. Sleepy Joe. And this day
the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth minus eighty nine
point two Vostok station and Arctica. Oh yeah, no surprises,

(01:03:34):
that's there. But just coming up to the news. But
if you want to talk back after the news would
be good. Marcus the police chopper and the Iron the
Sky playing for live traffic reports pre camera days collided
Midia due to sunstrike. Might have to fact check this,
but I think the label iron the Sky is not

(01:03:55):
allowed to be used to get an Auckland cheers. Yes,
well for Radio and Auckland. I think having the eye,
I think it might have been Radio Eye that had
the eye in the sky. I think they might have
had that. But yes, it was a big deal. I
think certainly in z Beast in its day when they
had local traffic, I think they're always going to and
this was before there was the webcams always going to

(01:04:17):
fixed wing planes. I think it was that were flying
over that would report on the traffic. Seems antiquated now,
doesn't it? Marcus My worst memory of a cup of
teas when I realized my elderly father had tipped the
water from his hot water bottom to the jug to
make a kappa. It put me off drinking tea or
at other people's taste rubbery, wouldn't it. Yeah, that wouldn't
be a good thing. And I'm curious to explore these Lamington. Oh,

(01:04:41):
I think it's cold up the country too tonight. Let
me just check while the temperature is going to be.
I think gorgeous day down here, gorgeous still day. Well,
the trouble with the gorgeous still days as it gets
quite murky quite quick because everyone uses that as a
day to burn all their piles of rubbish on their farms.
So there's quite a lot of low lying smoke today.

(01:05:02):
But yes, it's down to zero overnight in the Cargo.
I think probably it'd be a very cold Dane Central
Otago would be my prediction for tonight. Yes, minus one
and Arrow Town. I see what it's going to be
in Alexandra. Imagine that would be a very cold one.
So yes, it's sort of a week of it in

(01:05:23):
the South Island of cold still nights. It's already down
to one degrees in Alexandra. Yep, anyway, that's happening also
tonight for every cold never have flown by sounds here
either didn't realize they flew to Warnaka or they did,

(01:05:45):
but they're not going to any more since they had
a good point. All the spokespeople out there the government
saying that what we need to do is actually encourage
local tourism, but they're not really helping. I think they're
fees registery alignes has gone up as well for planes
started in nineteen eighty seven. Sounds here pretty sure it's

(01:06:08):
based Blenhim. They operate a Blenhim christ Church service and
a war Naker christ Church service, which I wasn't aware of,
but I think in news Inland also does a christ
Church wanker?

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Do they?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
I don't know. They'll check that one. Also. They get
in touching on talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome hitdle
twelve Laureate's Marcus welcome. Good evening, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 18 (01:06:32):
On the helicopter thing, I think we're not that far
away from sort of rechargeable helicopters. I think you've seen
these ones that are used sort of for my commuter
type things to a port and have so they wouldn't
run pretty quiet, so they.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Will be like a drive one there with four helicopters
lifting a payload which could be two people. And yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:06:58):
They could be configured different ways of but there's something
that you've seen have got multiple blades, but yeah you
could it could still be a single blade as we
charge it, right, But yeah, and the good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
About those if they run out of bed, if they
they were returned to where they said off from, they'll
have a lot more safety configurations, I would think.

Speaker 18 (01:07:20):
Yeah, somedly the the you know, the the helicopters of
the cities, even the ones that were involved, you know,
the hospital rescue helicopters and stuff like that, they hit
the change hit to be twin twine to operate over
Wellington places like Palmers North. So they come into the

(01:07:40):
hospitals that came in some years back.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Basically, what what what does that mean? That means not
a Robinson? Does that? Is that what that means?

Speaker 18 (01:07:49):
It meant not a Robinson, but it meant they suppose
that you had some backup sort of if one if
you have one engine, well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
They've got to. They've got two engines driving the one.

Speaker 18 (01:08:03):
Yeah, twin turbine. Yeah, I mean it also goes through
the same year box, so it just.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Got it's just got one overhead propeller, hasn't it. But
it's got two engines. It's got two engines driving it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:08:15):
But I think they made that as a regulation a
number of years ago, just just all the the rescue
helicopters and are the ones coming into hospitals, and they
had to be had to have that additional sort of
safety capacity.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
I think fair enough.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
I always say that one landing and Darnina always looks
kind of herey landing on the sixth floor of the hospital.
It's kind of amazing how their lends right in the city.

Speaker 18 (01:08:38):
Yeah, yeah, well, and the one and PARMI come try.
Don't know their house too pretty much, and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
It comes over often, doesn't lurry. They have a lot
of excedents, reasonably often.

Speaker 18 (01:08:48):
Yeah, you know down in Highway one living straight or
wherever do they have excedents?

Speaker 13 (01:08:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:08:58):
Yeah, even uh out in the direction of the mountain
bike pack. Basically they seem to pick up quite a
few broken bones and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
You know, they do, do they do patient relocates to
hamil Wellington as well.

Speaker 18 (01:09:16):
Yeah, well they do, although quite often they'll quite often
I'll drive some of those out and use a fixed wing. Okay,
but they've got their option of years of doing a
jobbles as well. But well, just something they thinking you
would have missed the ride on the news? Did you
see the digsaw Nationals on seven sharp? Yeah, they made

(01:09:41):
a big, big fuss of it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Who won.

Speaker 18 (01:09:46):
There's a lady I didn't go into day, but the
lady that came second had been the previous winner, who
was very upset, you sort of they got quite emotional.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
They go at it. Had they seen it?

Speaker 12 (01:10:02):
Was?

Speaker 9 (01:10:02):
It was?

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
It was an unseen jigsaw.

Speaker 18 (01:10:06):
I think they actually have a picture of what look
like at the end, but maybe a new one to them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Okay.

Speaker 18 (01:10:13):
So there was a hell of a lot of table
set up there and they hear them all well and
they really go out of just the dexterity.

Speaker 19 (01:10:22):
How long it was?

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
It was a thousand piece puzzle? Was it?

Speaker 18 (01:10:27):
I may have and I don't know about a thousand
that what category that I my might have missed mailed
that there was matainly would have been five hundred or
so yeah, and it seemed like a very more sponsored
event that apparently really people really go into schools during COVID.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Apparently, Yeah, did say how long it took them to
do it?

Speaker 18 (01:10:50):
Oh, because they actually had a couple of seven shot
people trying to do one of so I think they
took them a somewhere else, but no, these were down
and so you know, like maybe ten to fifty minutes
or really well okay, yeah, yeah, you know just what
we're looking back at the clip of the just the
things that were blue are basically the stuffy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Some years ago.

Speaker 18 (01:11:12):
Some years ago you were sort of interested in.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Yeah, and look at and it came up. It came
up to some hurdles. It wasn't as straightforward as I
thought it would be, but that's fine. Vindicated by that.
I think it was a five hundred piece puzzle, Laurie,
and it took thirty six minutes in Australia a woman
from Tasmania one, which is not bad.

Speaker 14 (01:11:30):
Going, is it?

Speaker 12 (01:11:32):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:11:33):
Just yeah, most impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
In fact, I did a jigs on the weekend. I
don't know how if it was a five hundred piece
or not. Was a shark jigsaw puzzle, so I'll be
curiously how my time was? I think it was a
five hundred piece. There was four of us doing it,
so it didn't take that long. Nice to hear from
your lorry thirteen past ten David's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
Yeah, Marcus, good Dave?

Speaker 18 (01:11:56):
You did you did a jigsaw?

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
There's four of you doing it. I just sort of
understand that a little bit. But where does Wanica Warnica
come from? Is it because that business of McDonald's, where
the wow Wannikins didn't like McDonald's. Is there where wan
I could comes from?

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
You might be right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
I was wondering because there always been wanka. But there
you go. And no such thing I say, No such
thing as a bad cup of tea, No, not where
I come from anyway. And the microwave, no, no, that's
here is it's uh sacarage or no? No, no, no
trade out of the jack boiling water. Now I've got

(01:12:34):
an insulated cup, a five hundred milk cup from Teaming
with a lid, and it's insulated. I put the tea
bagg in me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
I'd be worried about that. You'd be poisoning yourself, wouldn't you?
With playstick from t could be.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
But anyhow, I stir it and then put the lid
on and let it draw before I head the milk.
And no such thing with a bad cup of tea
around here, And it's got to be. I've gone off
the King Your Bowl and I've gone on to the
the English Breakfast, and it's the extra strong English Breakfast
with a little.

Speaker 11 (01:13:06):
Tag on it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
It sounds like you might leave the bag in, do you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:11):
Yeah, No, I leave the.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
Bag in for a couple of few minutes and then
I'll give it another stair, take the bag out. And
then they had the milk. Oh yeah, No such thing
as bad cup to you're in here, Marcus, Good on
your Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Every time I've drunk tea, I've always left the water
the bag and there. I've always thought that's the right
thing to do. The stronger, the better, the wind of
the jigsaw puzzle. Nationals goes to play in Spain. Rescue
your helicopters transports more heart attacks than accidents. Marcus. I
was in the police in nineteen ninety three and assisted

(01:13:43):
at the scene of that plane crest that fell onto
Speedy Junction at peak out of traffic. During the crest
with the helicopter a day I'll never ever forget, remember vividly,
very said for all involved. It was a very long shift.
It was an unbelievable event that had a significant impact
on many From Simon Marcus. Remember it is a Friday

(01:14:06):
evening when that chopper and plane crest I was doing
food delivery job in Auckland, Crevt. Was chaos, kind of
like it is these days. There we go. Thank you
for that. Hello, Lorraine, it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:14:22):
Welcome evening, Marcus. I was amazed at that jigsaw competition
tonight that I saw on seven Sharp. It was just
incredible and people were so clever with them. Just I
spent Christmas over in Colorado with all of my extended
family and they took a big photo on Christmas Day

(01:14:45):
with the Christmas tree, and one of the boys sent
the photo off to a company over there and had
it made into a jig idea thousand piece jigsaw. And
it's a big business apparently. I don't know whether you
can do it here or not, but.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
You can do it here, yes you can.

Speaker 12 (01:15:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:15:02):
You can have them made in wood or cardboard or
several different types shapes and sizes and things. So I
just loved it, and you know, I've come to jigsaws
later in my life and really enjoy doing them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Could you tell the rain? Could you tell watching that program?
Could you tell what their tactics were? Were they doing
the outside first?

Speaker 18 (01:15:25):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:15:25):
Look, there were several doing different things. Some of them
started at the bottom and just did it up until
they got to the top. Others they put all the
sides in first. Other you could just see them. Others
stood took some time and collected each of the colors
into little piles on the I was fascinated by it,

(01:15:48):
little piles on the jigsaw, and then they would build
the colors in two as they went.

Speaker 6 (01:15:54):
It was.

Speaker 20 (01:15:55):
They were very, very clever.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
And did the winning woman do the edges first?

Speaker 20 (01:16:02):
No, she's one of the ones that started from the
bottom and just built it up like a like a
tidal wave as she went up with.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
An extraordinary memory of the pieces or something to do
it like that. That just sounds sounds amazing.

Speaker 20 (01:16:17):
All of the puzzles were different, so it's a competition,
and I would have thought they'd all have to do
the same the same jigsaw, but no, they were all different.
Isn't that interesting because some would be easier to do
than others, like some with more background or whatever. You know,
if you you know what they were, most of them were.

(01:16:39):
They were all five hundred pieces. Yeah, except the one
that the seven Sharp announced it when they held their
one up. It was a thousand. It was a big one.
Women competing, no, quite a lot of teenagers, no, quite

(01:17:00):
a few men.

Speaker 21 (01:17:03):
Yeah, no, it was.

Speaker 20 (01:17:04):
It was amazing. Really enjoyed it as a subject. It
was great.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
I'm just looking at the list of people that compete
to where they're from. A lot of walker there's a
lot of people from Wellington. Yeah, yeah, a lot of
people there.

Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
Well.

Speaker 9 (01:17:20):
It was.

Speaker 20 (01:17:21):
It was very crowded, but it's it's a great thing
to do in the winter, you know, you get these
cold days or nights. We've just come out of school,
holidays and things. I live in a village and we've
got a giant jigsaw going all the time, and you know,
people come out of the apartments, wander down and do

(01:17:42):
a couple of hours just doing the jigsaw. So and
they and then as people wander by, they'll stop and
chat to them and things. It's a very it's a
very social thing. And even those that wander to buy.
They'll stop and put one or two pieces in and
then go and have some a cup of tea or something.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
It's that's a great communal jigsaw is a great it's
a great thing. We said when at worked, to be
often there would be a communal one and the workplace,
which is always good fun.

Speaker 20 (01:18:12):
And a lot of people have got jigsaws, so they
dont them and so you run. Just like the library
has books in it, we have a section where you
can go and get a jigsaw and return it when
you're ready. So there's a huge selection of jigsaws. Now
I got one for Christmas. That was Maraki Boulders. That

(01:18:33):
was fabulous.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Oh yes, I love I love the boulders. The bulders
are great.

Speaker 20 (01:18:38):
But that was a lot of the same color, like
either the beach or the sea or the boulders. You know,
they were all.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
I thought there would be a difficult one.

Speaker 20 (01:18:48):
It was a hard one, but it was still really
interesting because it's a it's a fabulous place and almost spiritual.
Maaki Boulders I went recently and there was hardly a
boulder on the beach.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
Oh yeah, I know.

Speaker 20 (01:19:04):
There were two big ones just coming out of the
out of the embankment the cliff at the bag. We
must have had high seas or something and they've been
smashed up and carried out to sea, so there were
hardly any on the actual beaches.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
I just think we're not because we always stopped when
we're heading up north. I just think I must have
been there last year and seen it. Always get my
photo of me getting swallowed by one of them, not
to always find you dive into your feet hanging out,
so that's always good. Yeah, isn't that great to done
my own jigsawl A very nice to talk. Thank you
for that, Alison Marcus, welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:19:39):
He's on seven Shout. That New Zealand champion and a
mother did that one in fourteen minutes, well fourteen minutes,
I think it was. They were absolutely brilliant working together.
I think the two they weren't chat to do reporters
in seven Shout took two hours to do the same one,
but to do it in fourteen minutes, it was incredible.

Speaker 12 (01:19:59):
Was it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
You had to be an individual in the actual competition though,
could you be in pears Well they were just.

Speaker 16 (01:20:05):
Doing it to just have a little competence, but general
you do it by yourself, but they had groups of them.
They're all sitting. I don't know how you concentrate when
you it must be very hard not to look what
other people are doing, you know, just to concentrate on
your own one. I don't know how we know good
at it, because I'd be looking to see what other
people were doing, and you'd have to concentrate to get
the good time. Otherwise you lose time on either.

Speaker 22 (01:20:26):
But they really good.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Well, who are the reporters that were doing it, I
can't remember.

Speaker 16 (01:20:36):
A young lady and younger j in a chapter two
of the reports quite regally. I don't know their names,
but and then they were quite good. But it's just
that they didn't work well all together. The other two said,
you've got to really work well with the other person,
and that's what they said. They weren't work didn't work
well together or something. You know, they were sort of,
you've Scott, just try and get a bit of a

(01:20:57):
teamwork going to get the colors coordinated and everything right there.
And they were sort of all over the place. But
I mean they had never done it before, so they
were just starting from scratch, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, Okay, do you do a few Ellison?

Speaker 16 (01:21:13):
No, I haven't really I would if I'm probably looking
up missing missing bits at the start, I have to
count the things up because sometimes you get these one
out and you've got one piece of missing. I'd be
worried about there wasn't enough pieces to go at the end,
you mean one missing at the end, you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Shark one was missing one. I was disappointed by that
because I've probably seen it lying around and burnt it.
Because when you find a bit behind the couch, you
can every bother fighting the box. It's easy just to
check it.

Speaker 16 (01:21:39):
Out, that's right. You don't know where it is, that's right,
So you'd end up with one piece of missing, so
you're never going to get the out in the end.

Speaker 22 (01:21:45):
Sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Often at the church shops there and Phonny chops and
shops and stuff, there is often uh jigsaws for sale,
but you're never sure if they're complete or not, because
how would you. I'm sure they're not doing them all
in chicken them, are they.

Speaker 16 (01:21:59):
No, Well, they wouldn't be giving them away probably they
were a whole full full set. They probably be keeping
them for themselves. They wouldn't probably have the full set,
norobably not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
But those people keep stuff for themselves? Do they at those?
Would they?

Speaker 16 (01:22:10):
I don't know, no idea. That was very interesting watching
it to think that so many people doing it, you know,
from the lockdown. Really they sort of got the to
do that, I mean, not different things. Then that's inspired
by having a lot of time to do something different.
I suppose you'd say, yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
It's a good indoor thing to do too. It's always
good if Christmas jigs are on to go, Thank you
for that. Ellison twenty six past ten.

Speaker 23 (01:22:35):
With it?

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Or twelve? What do you got? People? Head on midnight?
When's the sentencing for the mushroom woman? That can't be
far away? Or maybe it will be. I don't know
how If that's I was gonna say, we have a
sweepstake on her, might be a bit morbid. Be forty years,
wouldn't she's fifty anyway? Will it be twenty five years?

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
Uh, twenty seven past ten. The microwave and cooking tea
and the microwave not good, but that's what young people
are doing more off although it's actually slower to do
it that way, which is interesting. Much slower. Good evening, Maria,
It's Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:23:20):
Welcome, Hi Marcus. Just a we story I've got pertaining
to helicopters. I was in Aberdeen in Scotland in the
year two thousand and my son was ill, of course,
but anyway, my David would still be able to take

(01:23:43):
me for rides and things like that, but he's left
his treatment. Anyway, my elder son came over and he
surprised us. So anyway, we caught up with my late
husband family and all that sort of stuff. And anyway,
we went out of the report to see Robot to come.
He was coming home, of course, and a nice good

(01:24:07):
over on a field. And I think David was telling
me that no planes, passenger planes are allowed to leave
the airport's Aberdeen until it's cleared of helicopters. The helicopters
have the first first turn or whatever, you know, and

(01:24:29):
I thought that was quite intriguing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Was there a reason for that?

Speaker 19 (01:24:35):
Well, it was just the Lord here. But I know that,
you know, when David was on the rigs, he you
know that the helicopters would land on the platforms and everything,
which was you know, it must have been pretty fascinating.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
It must have been unbelievable, some of those landing on
some of those rigs. That just must be that sounds
here raising to me.

Speaker 6 (01:24:56):
Well, the.

Speaker 19 (01:24:58):
I remember one time he told me there was you know,
the helicopter took off in the course of got Needge,
you know you see them on battleships in there, and
it didn't rise up. It just went straight over the
and straight and into the water. And it's just one

(01:25:20):
of those things.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
And the people perished.

Speaker 19 (01:25:23):
Yes, yes, but have you been to Aberdeen?

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
No, I haven't.

Speaker 19 (01:25:30):
Beautiful city or granite, absolutely fast, amazing. I've walked a lot,
of course, and there's a lot of exploring.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
But no, look, Mary, I don't even know where. I
don't even know where it is. Is it on the
east coast? I presume it is it.

Speaker 19 (01:25:45):
I'm not much good at ok.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
I look it up, Mary, thank you. Yeah, I can't play.
I presume if that's where they jump off for the
for the deep set for the old rigs, it probably is.
Actually Eberdeen. It sounds like a great city to walk around.
I look exactly where it is because there's something I've
never known. I know where Glasgow and Edinburgh. Just bring

(01:26:11):
up Google maps for that one. Now, Oh yes, yes,
it's where I thought it must be. It's north of
Dundee and north of Edinburgh, so yes, it's well north.
It's a beautiful spot to be still waiting for the
bakers to tell us whether that's the whole situation with Lamington's.

(01:26:33):
If it's a way to use old sponge, if you
can get the sponge from yesterday and reinvigorate it, and
how would you do that?

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
Yeah? Where was it?

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
We we were we were, We're, We're, we're, we're, we're, we're.

Speaker 6 (01:26:51):
Whoop?

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
What was the cafe having the big fuss with? Was
it with the Lamington And what was that cafe at
the art Gallian Orkle? There was a big news through
last year. What was that about? They had to change
the name of what was Leamington?

Speaker 9 (01:27:07):
Was it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
Was a melting moment that what it was. I think
it was a melting moment because they got sued about
didn't they cinnebun cinnebun? It was called Sinabun. You're right,
that's good, that's right. I thought for sid it would
be a Leamington, but that wouldn't be trademarked. I wouldn't think,

(01:27:31):
thank you twenty two away from eleven hitdle twelve but
the yeah, we also talk about the memories of that
train of plain instant in Auckland and nineteen ninety three
plane versus the helicopter. I've very been used to her
in Auckland at the time that in some texts about
Leca Hellesima, what a tri and he's only nineteen, although

(01:27:53):
I saw Wade Egan say he might be twenty. But yeah,
he sleeps the whole time, just gets it rolled out
of bed and plays like that. They reckon phenomenal. Doesn't
like to be interviewed, which I quite like as well.
Terrified of that. Gosh, I hope he's got a good
manager because he's hot property. I see it on the

(01:28:20):
Australian NRL shows, I think with I forget which ones
with Kronk and Meddie John's or something. They voted him
the player of the round. No surprise is there, unbelievable
Try twenty one away from eleven. There's something else you
want to mention tonight night's gone very very quickly. Would
love to hear from you as I say, Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two de

(01:28:41):
text you might have something different you want to talk about,
and that would be good to hear from you. I
don't know what different looks like tonight. Don't there's any
cycling action for you? And I think the Tour de
Frands it's a rest day, which that need. I see
the internet is still obsessed with the Coldplay kiss cam scandal.

(01:29:05):
A million different memes with that one. Everyone's doing. I
see even Caylin Pong when the camera went on onto
the league, he tried to do that melting away thing.
Everyone's doing that now it's become a thing you do
when the camera's on you. Unbelievable. I can't quite work
out if they're in a VIP area if someone said that,

(01:29:25):
but does look like a VIP area to me, I
guess it might have been. I suppose a billionaires can.
There's even a Lego set now my first affair. Yeah,
there's a lot you're talking about on seeing it at
the moment.

Speaker 5 (01:29:45):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
A lot of speculation on the in sect, whether his
wife would be a Coldplay fan, because that would be
the ultimate indignity, wouldn't it. Yep, People saying the Simpson's
predicted it.

Speaker 10 (01:30:04):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
So now we've written it out for predictions game. Someone
says the best two new singles that Coldplay have put
out as those two sixteen to eleven. Darren, good evening,
Hey Marcus, how you're going? Good things?

Speaker 8 (01:30:20):
Darren good bye?

Speaker 14 (01:30:21):
Hey listen, I'm just driving trucks. I could lose my signal.

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
Hey mate.

Speaker 23 (01:30:25):
Making Lemington. So I used to be a baker, and
so we used to make Lemonton sponge or just sponges.
Put it in the freezer and then make a Lemonton
that way the next next day, once the sponge was frozen.

Speaker 14 (01:30:40):
Ah, nice fressure, So.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
It can be one day old sponge. Is that what
you're saying pretty much?

Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:30:49):
Yeah, because you want a nice fear and a sponge
because when you put it into the jellapeam, you know,
the chocolate or the raspberry dipp.

Speaker 14 (01:30:57):
You make it, you make the dip when it's hot.

Speaker 23 (01:30:59):
Yeah, you've got to put obviously, you got to put
the sponge into something hot.

Speaker 14 (01:31:02):
So you want to either frozen or yeah, frozen.

Speaker 9 (01:31:06):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Did you say gelatine?

Speaker 23 (01:31:09):
Yeah, well it's a it's like a chocolate or a
raspberry crystal you use.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
Oh it's not just chocolate, No, hell no, No, it's
like a it's a it's.

Speaker 14 (01:31:22):
A chocolate crystal. That's what we used to use anyway,
when I was in the bakeries here.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
So what's a chocolate crystal.

Speaker 23 (01:31:31):
It's just something you it's just like chocolate powder, and
it's like a jelly.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Okay, yeah, that makes sense to me. So it's a
bit thicker, It goes a bit thicker than the coconut
on the top.

Speaker 23 (01:31:43):
Yeah, so you're dipp it real fast and then and
then you're quickly roll it into in the coconut after that,
and let's how.

Speaker 14 (01:31:53):
You get your Leamington's.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
But it wasn't a way for bakeries to use old sponge,
oh not that we used to make.

Speaker 14 (01:32:01):
If you're going to use old sponge, you mustn't make
a trifle.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Yeah, okay, makes sense. Okay, So so it's almost like
an instant put the chocolate crystal. Isn't that the way
it goes?

Speaker 14 (01:32:12):
Yeah, well, it sort of goes like a jelly.

Speaker 23 (01:32:15):
Okay, So yeah, it was just a it was just
a makes that your buy off, like baco as a
Bacle's product that we.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Used to use, brilliant. Okay, So it's probably hard to
make them yourself at home, isn't it?

Speaker 16 (01:32:28):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:32:28):
No, know, you could use you can make it.

Speaker 23 (01:32:30):
Make your own, just use well, you could use a
raspberry jelly, you know, get you jelly real hot and
then quickly dip it in and then quickly rolling into
let's do that.

Speaker 14 (01:32:42):
I don't know how you'd make.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Your chocolate one, so like hot jelly before it's set.
Is that what it would be?

Speaker 14 (01:32:49):
Yeah, yeah, but you'd want to freeze your sponge fears.

Speaker 23 (01:32:52):
Okay, so it doesn't obviously, otherwise it's going to just
break down and then it's just going to turn into
mush and mush.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
Your receptions held out well, Darren, thank you for that.
Like anyone made lemons at home and let me know
how they do it with Really, I just thought it'd
be icing, So yeah, that's of interest to me how
you do that with chocolate ones or rides at home?
So if you've got some information about that, it's a
great topic. I can't see a good online recipe for
Lamington to most of thems just use melted chocolate, which

(01:33:22):
that guy said wasn't the go. So if you got
some information about that, that would be good to hear
from you. Marcus no Tour de France and plenty of
South Island young cyclist racing from Timudu overseas three hundred
and nineteen riders competing in the tour, but tb around
Quebec and in Chicago. Timulus cyclist James Wilson just plays

(01:33:44):
second in epic street circuit Criterion Race just to a
shout of some South Canterbury riders performing very well. Cheers
from Mount Summer is a nice to hear from you
there making lemons at home. If you've done that successfully,
how did you get the raspberry on them? Did you
use jelly? What about the chocolate? Marcus used friends and

(01:34:05):
frozen sponge, and I've always used ordinary chocolate icing just
a bit runnier than roll on the chocolate. Yammo. I'm
not a big fan of yammo as an expression, but yeah,
I don't know what's yumo. I kind of think it
loves steam at the end yammo. I prefer yum yum,
I think. But anyway, we don't not criticize in the text.

(01:34:26):
I'm just curious to know yammo. I don't know why
that irk irks me. Nine from eleven. If you want
to be a part of it here till twelve. Why
can't we buy plain steak pies at the supermarket like
the big bed six pack? Why the meat pies drowned
in cheese and have no name? Yam agree with you

(01:34:46):
about that. Why can't we get a standard pie? Who invited? Cheese?
Not a good thing? I had quite a good cheese
brisket and hal a pinot pie on the weekend right
at Woodlands for rugby in the weekend. It was good,
nice some atmosphere out there, pretty farmery I tell you. Anyway.

(01:35:08):
Didn't come away with a victory either, which was disappointing.
But oh well, what was interesting about that? Oh sausage
after the match, which is always good. I've got a pie,
very good pie, I thought anyway. Shane Marcus, welcome. Hang on, Shane,
I've just got I've lost my curious you get a

(01:35:30):
Shane good evening?

Speaker 24 (01:35:32):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
Yes? Got your round loud and clear? Thank you?

Speaker 22 (01:35:35):
Okay, Yeah, the last talker about Lamington's is correct. On
my baker pastry cooked by trade? Uh we when I
was a prentice.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Hang on, Shane, did you hang on Shane? Did you
say your driver truck now of course, yes, so there's two,
but there's two bakers that have become truck drivers in
a row.

Speaker 10 (01:36:00):
Yep, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
That's saying something about bakery anyway, off you.

Speaker 22 (01:36:03):
Go, Yeah, baking bake bacons don't get paid very well. Okay,
so yeah, we used to use do exactly the same.
We used to make what they call a Lamington sponge.
Now the lemon and sponge is a big square and
you you make it the day before. You can't make
you can't use it fresh because because of using a jelly,

(01:36:27):
it soaks up too much of the jelly if it's fresh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Yes, I understand that that makes sense. That could just
be a soggy mess yep.

Speaker 22 (01:36:35):
Yeah, correct, it gets real heavy into bog's part. So
you have to chill it in the fridge overnight or
or as you said.

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
Freeze it.

Speaker 22 (01:36:44):
We used to chill it and then use differ it
in the raspberry coating, all the chocolate coating, and then
again roll in the in the coconut straight away. So
very simple, very straightforward, very easy to do it. Now
you can make your own chocolate jelly by using gelatine

(01:37:08):
powder if they want to make it at home gelatine,
powder and cocoa. So you just make it the same
as you woulded jelly, but using gelatine.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
So begelatin, begelatine, cocoa, sugar and water.

Speaker 4 (01:37:21):
Would it correct?

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
Okay, that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 22 (01:37:26):
Yeah, I've never made it with melted chocolate. I think
if you made it made it with melted chocolate, it
would be extremely heavy and probably fall apart in your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
So would you start for that when you're making the
gelatine and the chocolate and the water and the sugar.
Would you wait for that to kind of start setting
before you put it on the sponge?

Speaker 12 (01:37:49):
No?

Speaker 22 (01:37:50):
No, you you use it while it's hot. So you
have your sponge with this chill and your jelly should
be hot. And what we used to stick a fork
in it, so you can't put your hands in it obviously,
So yes, it's still. When we cut the lamintons into squares,
we stuck a fork in one, and then because.

Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
You got around, you dip it in. I think, how
would you get on all sides? So you dip it in,
that's right, and then take and then where would you
put it to? Then where would you would you put
enough coconut on? So you then put it down on
some greasproof paper or something, so it doesn't it doesn't
you don't use all the chocolate on one side.

Speaker 22 (01:38:26):
Yeah, So we had we had the bowl with the
jelly in it, then we had the tray with coconut,
and then we had a a wire like a wire
rack understand with with with paper underneath it. So you
dip it in the jelly, you roll in the coconut,
and you put it on the rack and what the
excess jelly or whatever would fall onto the paper below

(01:38:49):
the rack, and then it would set because of the
coldness of the sponge, and then you would put it
in the tray. So it's it's a it's a process
that you used to have to do.

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
Actually, the way you're saying it sounds like it'd be
quite fun, quite good phone quite simple to make.

Speaker 22 (01:39:06):
Yeah, it is. It was great fun. We used to
make hundreds of them during the days. But back in
the day, but that was all manual labor.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
You know, And I would imagine these days there's quite
a few commercially sold Lemingtons that look a bit unloved,
don't they. You always get a sort of big six
packet peck and save. I don't know what they're like,
but they never looked down appealing.

Speaker 22 (01:39:28):
Yeah yeah, yep, yeah definitely. And you look at them
and some of them as just and even trying them,
it's like they've got no flavor. Yeah, So they scrimp
on the flavoring of the jelly and they'll make up
their own jelly and they won't put much raspberry flavoring
in it. Well back in nowadays, you could taste the raspberry.

(01:39:49):
You could taste the chocolate.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
You're not using real raspberries, though, are you, Shane.

Speaker 22 (01:39:55):
No, No, not real raspberries.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
And it's always coconut. It's always coconut. I've never heard
of anything else. You haven't, have you either? It's always coconut,
isn't it?

Speaker 22 (01:40:05):
Yehs coconut, Yeah, yep. I've never never heard of any
anything else been used other than.

Speaker 24 (01:40:12):
Coc nor have I Just it's just the.

Speaker 22 (01:40:16):
Grade of coconut that they use.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
It's thick. That's quite a thick coconut.

Speaker 22 (01:40:20):
Yeah, yeah, it can be what they call a medium
or a course coconut. Coconut is quite long.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Yeah, you remembered everything, Shane. How long has it been
since you were there?

Speaker 15 (01:40:35):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:40:36):
A lot?

Speaker 5 (01:40:36):
Of years.

Speaker 22 (01:40:38):
I'm not going.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
Really nice to hear from his Shane that was an
absolute master class of Leamington making people. Absolute master class.
Christine says orange jelly and coco the Jeff of Leamington.
Ten out of ten. I reckon the market's probably open
for someone to actually reinvent the Leamington and kind of
get some big public you know people off. You'd find

(01:41:01):
one thing and you can do it well, can't you.
You know, I mean you could really make a name
for yourself. Get your url Lemington dot com or lower
Lemonton dott inz. You go gangbusters, but not just with chocolate.
You want to get the whole thing going on, with
the gelatine, the old hooves. We are talking Leamington's and

(01:41:24):
quite glad for it. To eight past eleven, Sarah, thanks
for hanging on there at Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:41:27):
Welcome alright, Marcus love the showers all way.

Speaker 2 (01:41:31):
Thanks Sarah.

Speaker 21 (01:41:33):
I've eaten a few Leamington's in my time, but also
made a few. Used to be a chef and we
used to cover them in chocolate ganesh and the threaded
or flaked coconut and make really large ones and shelves
for eight dollars fifty at the cafo.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
It's good. Now what's chocolate, ganesh?

Speaker 21 (01:41:50):
Chocolate and cream?

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
Okay? And that's stuck on all right, and didn't get
soaked up into the seat.

Speaker 21 (01:41:55):
You're not sex. You did them on frozen, frozen sponges
and it sets quite well. And you've got like a
nice crusty Lemington more chocolate crusty. It makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
Where was it for sale, Sarah?

Speaker 21 (01:42:09):
And now in Australia?

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
Oh okay, well, eight dollars fifty steep for litt. I
don't think a big get lemon in that pricey here?
Would you?

Speaker 9 (01:42:16):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:42:17):
You'd hope not a But these were big like these
were like a hand.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
Would you eat them with a spoon?

Speaker 6 (01:42:25):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:42:25):
You just shut them in your face.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
I want to hear, sir, good on you, thank you Kelvin, Hello, very.

Speaker 10 (01:42:31):
Good eating to your Marcus. I can remember ninety forty
six I would have been five, living on a farm
and not to help a lot. I had a Christie
in those days, and you said, someday blackout any My
mother used to make Lemington's and no deep freeze carry
on and all that sort of thing. You made the
sponge and you leave it overnight so that, in other words,

(01:42:52):
it wouldn't be super fresh, so there was time to
cool down and harden a bit, and then the old
rispberry SUP and coconut and eat them. And the main
thing I wanted to say, Marcus, was that I buy
them regularly from the supmarket, from Always as it's called now,
and they've been making them for years. Whatever the brand

(01:43:14):
is on the packet, But one packet will have six
in it, six large sort of or reasonable size, and
another packet next to it will have nine, the smaller ones.
And there's the two flavors, normally raspberry and chocolate, but
very occasionally they'll have an orange flavor. There goodness, but
they're delicious. So somebody previous was saying, oh, you know,

(01:43:37):
not not any good ready with me? Have you had
any lately?

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
I'd go with the smaller one because you get more
surface area. Is that what you'd go through?

Speaker 10 (01:43:48):
Not really the bigger one, as big as better. But
have you had any lately?

Speaker 23 (01:43:53):
Or no?

Speaker 10 (01:43:55):
And yet you're saying, Marcus that you don't that they
know good and yet.

Speaker 2 (01:43:58):
You have depressed and always on the special table or
wrapped up in colorless They don't look good, Calvin, But
you're quite right to point it out that it's contemporary investigation.
I haven't tried them. I'll try one tomorrow, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:44:11):
Good, and report back to all of us listeners what
they taste like and look like?

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
What's the orange? What's flow? But I'll go to what
is it called now count? Is it called Woolworths?

Speaker 10 (01:44:20):
Yeah, Woolworths sake.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
What's next?

Speaker 10 (01:44:24):
Well, I don't know. But if I can foretell and
see in the future, I'll let you know. But I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
Are they made in store?

Speaker 10 (01:44:32):
No, they're in proper packets from somewhere when I get
when I'm in the super Mark on Thursday, I'll have
a look and see what the name is and where
they made.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
But would they have would they be three or four
days old with preservative?

Speaker 9 (01:44:46):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:44:47):
Whatever is in them will be on the back of
the packet.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
And will it be made that Will I have a
dates that would be made the day before?

Speaker 10 (01:44:54):
Well, they have a date on them, but all of
that thing is to do with the thickness of the
clear wrapping. You get you get meat. Now, the last
bit it'll have the date on it for going forward
about ten days. Fosters and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
I don't want something plastic wrapped. I don't want some
in a little bag at the bakery.

Speaker 10 (01:45:16):
Well, what do you need to do is get your
wife or somebody's wife to make some fresh and you
just wait the right handy to the oven door to
good luck with that. All of these to you, I'll
buy them.

Speaker 2 (01:45:27):
They're mucking around, Yes, yeah, nice to talk, Calvin. He's
right though, I have them line the supermarket Leamington. I
don't want a pre made packaged one. If it was
a choice between a cream donut and a Levington, go
the donut, I think, although you know you don't need
that stuff much as an adult. Do you like kids food?

(01:45:49):
Thanks for the Leamington class, love the idea of chocolate
jelly and I never knew about freezing the sponge wonderful.
Well it's Shane to think for that. Shane was Shane
should be doing an online YouTube to tour away drives
trucks on baking. He knew it all. Do I suppose
we have one of those silly usions Leamington type things
that they do with the using the best pie and

(01:46:09):
toasted sandwich?

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
Do they?

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
I guess it probably is a thing grumpy Baker Hamilton,
I think any good calve the grumpy baker basically Cafe Hanoi.

(01:46:36):
Someone says, what's between a snowball and a leamone? And
what the hell does? Snowball? Might be a round, might
be just a round. I think a snowball might be
a mallow, marsh marshmallow. I'd like a snowball. Oh no,

(01:46:58):
snowball originated the United States. Small balls of cake coven,
a layer of sweet and condensed milk and rolled o.
It's condensed milk. That's the snowball. That sounds quite good
as well, look different always, Commentercy, He's always thought snowballs
originally in South Africa. You do something new every day,

(01:47:19):
Well that you do, it's just whether you can remember it.
Oh very good, someone's Andy. Good on your Andy. Thanks
for the heads up, Marcus, who would have thought he's
gone and got Lemington's dot co dot nz domain registered successfully?
Best I start learning how to make the best Leamington's

(01:47:40):
u ahha, watch the space. Good on your Andy. I'll
give you any publicity you want on the show. It's
a great idea. Though no one's in that Leamington space.
No one's decided to take that on that ever needs?
Do you need much butter and a sponge? Coconut never
goes up in price, does it. Oh, the chocolate might

(01:48:02):
be a problem, but I think you could do other
things that you do a fijo, a jam or something,
or like a kiwi fruit or something. You could make
a real kiwi Leamington. Don't know if it go well
with the coconut though. What goes well with coconut? A
pineapple one, a mango one. Get some good mangoes in

(01:48:25):
the shop from time to time, don't you, MICUs. I
used to make Leamington's out of foam rubber coated with chocolate,
icing and coconut. Great fun watching puld Of try and
get the teeth under them. Not so good with false
teeth on this on many occasions, and I still laugh
about it. Wow, I'd never come across the whole prank
Leamington movement. So that's the thing. Any other suggestions for

(01:48:53):
Leamington's or strange Leamingtons you've experienced, or tweaks on Leamington's,
I'll tell you what. Crowdshots and the sport are going
to be hard to watch for a long long time
because every time the camera goes on some of the crowd.
They all try and reenact the whole situation with the

(01:49:18):
Coldplate concert, and it's wearing thing quite quick because everyone's
doing it. Everyone wants to go viral. Apart from the
guy that went to the Coldplate concert with us. Away
project didn't work out so well, did it? Oh, good evening. Yeah, Hi, Brian,

(01:49:38):
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:49:40):
Hey make good Brian.

Speaker 7 (01:49:43):
I'm taking the dog for walk.

Speaker 24 (01:49:45):
I'm about thirty five years ago when I was in
the co comorand I was over there for eighteen months
for a church thing. You know, we had a US
group there and we made some ramingtons for the youth.
Now there was hardly ever any rests over there, and
that's sort of the no bakeres. And my brother written

(01:50:05):
the read I no doubt a couple of months before
and told me what they did. They they got the sponge,
made the sponge and put mar mite on it and
rolled it in the coconut and so we tried.

Speaker 11 (01:50:21):
It was pretty It was pretty hard.

Speaker 24 (01:50:22):
Getting the mart the stick because it's pretty sticky, and
you'd be surprised that the the coconut mask to smell
of the the Marmite, and then we sort of sat
in the corner and watched the youth biting because they
took one bite because it was lovely and the faces
and half of them pedn't it because I didn't know

(01:50:43):
what to expect. No other half that I threw it out.
But that was one of the funniest things I've done
in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
That's pretty funny. What did you try one?

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
No, no, because I because I thought you were going
to say at the end of it it was remarkably delicious.
But it was as horrible as you could imagine one
would think.

Speaker 24 (01:50:59):
Right, ah, but by the look on the faces, it
was pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (01:51:04):
There weren't many topics on a talkback show you could
ring in that story, would you? But Lemington's and Marmite.
I've heard it all now. That's very funny, No, it was.

Speaker 10 (01:51:11):
It was very good.

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
That was a long time ago, excellent story. Brian. Think
it's made me night. That good on you, Brian. That's
been in the foam rubber ones Marmite. Goodness, what is
it with the youth groups? Isn't he you? God always
got to kind of get one over them by doing
something that's not quite what it seems I guess the
whole thing's probably a bit of a power struggle, is it.

(01:51:33):
Thanks for that, Brian hop ast eleven. My name is
Marcus Welcome. I'd play a good song if there was
a good Lemington song. I can't imagine there is.

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:51:46):
If you want to talk fancy two bakers driving trucks,
ex bakers. I suppose you're always a baker. If I
had three dogs, it would be a three dog night.
Instead it's two duvets and a heated throw in Doneda good,
good on you with a heated throw Steve, It's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:52:05):
Ah. Yes, there's a crowd science program on the radio
and they're talking about how many times should you or
or or or could you or should you boil an
electric jug? How many times should you boil an electric jug?
You mean changing without changing the water. If it's a

(01:52:30):
plastic jug, you're going to get particles of microscopic plastic
in the water, which isn't very healthy.

Speaker 2 (01:52:43):
Well, I don't think. I don't think you'd have a
plastic jug, would you.

Speaker 12 (01:52:47):
Well there's a give him at the warehouse. You know
there are only twenty bucks, and they do it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
They do the job.

Speaker 12 (01:52:53):
But yeah, I have one that sits on a on
the ring on a coal range, and it just it
just sits on the corner. It's almost always almost on
the boil. Yes, I just move it over onto a
warmer spot and I've got instant hot water.

Speaker 2 (01:53:17):
What are you burning on the coal range, Steve col Wow?

Speaker 12 (01:53:23):
Would in coal? It will tea tree or or coal.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
Where'sh your coal coming from the ground, Huntley? I didn't know.
I didn't know how they still sold commercial household I
get it.

Speaker 12 (01:53:37):
In bags from Reed's hat were in teams.

Speaker 2 (01:53:40):
Okay, those orange bags like a twenty kilogram bag.

Speaker 12 (01:53:44):
Yeah, wow, I know it's just as query as to
hang on.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
But Steve, do many people do? Many people burn coal
and teams. Can you smell it when you're under the streets?

Speaker 12 (01:53:58):
Yes, you can smell it. It's in the air around
especially this time of the year, and there's a lot
of home fires going.

Speaker 2 (01:54:06):
You what and bluff right? For the last twenty years
twenty two years? Have it as long it's been, there
was always a smell of coal, But the last two
or three years you can't swell it now because I
guess you can't just buy the retail coal anymore. Un
iss you buy the Katanga tap lignite. But that's pretty
dirty smelling stuff. So yeah, it seems though it's disappeared.

Speaker 6 (01:54:26):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 12 (01:54:28):
I'd say here, that'd be probably a dozens still around
and there you can definitely smell that this coal being
burnt round ten.

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
Do you where'd you get your monucat your tea tree?

Speaker 12 (01:54:41):
Oh? I'll get mine up at Coramandel. I've got a
friend's got a farm and he he brings me down
a couple of loads a year.

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
Oh that's good burning, So there'd be a good mix
of two of those, wouldn't it.

Speaker 12 (01:54:53):
Oh yeah, very good?

Speaker 2 (01:54:54):
Yes, okay, Steve. Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 17 (01:54:57):
Thank you, eleanor hello, Hello, I've got a Leamington ice
for you.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
Oh good, good, good good. Thank you.

Speaker 17 (01:55:05):
For a raspberry or strawberry coating. I just use a
raspberry or strawberry jelly.

Speaker 6 (01:55:11):
Yes, and let it cool off a wee bit.

Speaker 11 (01:55:15):
Yes.

Speaker 17 (01:55:16):
Cut a sponge into pieces and leave it overnight or
else the fridge would work well, and dip them quick
I use cut the squares up and use a couple
of forks and roll it quickly through the jelly. Liquid
and into the coconut, and.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
The jelly has been made and it's still hot. It's
hot and cooled down a bit.

Speaker 10 (01:55:42):
Is that what.

Speaker 17 (01:55:44):
Less it cool down to hand?

Speaker 6 (01:55:45):
Hot?

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
Okay, that makes sense that it's a perfect answer.

Speaker 17 (01:55:50):
And the coconut, you can get very fine coconut that's
almost like coconut dust. And you can get the coconut
that is almost like threads. And there's a medium cocoke
and I use the brand.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
Name, yes, please Pems. Okay, it's.

Speaker 17 (01:56:11):
It's a good medium grade of desicated coconut.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
Is the coconut. Is the coconut supposed to be thin
or thick?

Speaker 17 (01:56:26):
Well, it's it's you can get coconut that is very
very fine, and it's just it's like dust.

Speaker 2 (01:56:34):
Does it work better?

Speaker 6 (01:56:36):
No?

Speaker 17 (01:56:37):
You would get better to get one that's in between
if you can and just ordinary coconut.

Speaker 2 (01:56:44):
I'm glad, I asked. Okay, so your ordinary stuff, not
the fine stuff. Yes.

Speaker 17 (01:56:47):
And chocolate, and your chocolate recipe. Two cups of sugar,
a cup of water, two tablespoons of cocoat, and you
boil that for twelve minutes and then you can add
a wee bit of vanilla and it'll thick into a

(01:57:10):
light sauce thickness. And again I just dip the squares
using two forks and roll it around in the sauce
and then into the coconut. Any Christmas time, I cut
the chocolate ones in half and put a dash of

(01:57:32):
Bailey's into the whipped cream and top it with a strawberry.

Speaker 2 (01:57:37):
Oh sounds delicious. They're just giving that recipe for the
chocolate icing. You get chocolate coating, you get animal.

Speaker 17 (01:57:42):
Two cups of sugar, yeah, one cut of water, yeah,
and two table springs of currycake.

Speaker 2 (01:57:51):
So it doesn't need any gelatin or anything. That it
becomes daylight and boil.

Speaker 17 (01:57:56):
It for about twelve minutes and it'll start to thicken
a wee bit, okay, and then I let it cool,
just tad add a bit of vanilla into it, and
then yeah, you can dip your squares of coconut and
squares of sponge using a fork and just roll it

(01:58:21):
around quickly and then toss it into the coconut.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Any ideas where that recipe came from or is that
one of yours?

Speaker 12 (01:58:28):
Law?

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
Okay?

Speaker 17 (01:58:29):
Well, okay, we were farming and we used to make
our own sponges because we had chocks and now the
time in town. I just buy a double tears sponge
from the likes of New World or Woolworths. Cut that

(01:58:49):
into squares. You usually you get two tears for about
seven dollars. It's in a pack of two tears for
about seven dollars each tea you can cut into nine squares,
so you get a dozen and a half Lamington's out
of one sponge about seven dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
And who are you feeding those two? Are you taking
them to events or where you're going with those?

Speaker 17 (01:59:12):
It's events, yes, or just a treat for the family.
If I've got family coming for a meal.

Speaker 2 (01:59:19):
And what on the plate? Would you put chocolate and
raspberry runs on the same plate so you got the contrast?

Speaker 17 (01:59:24):
You can mix them? Yeah, I can mix them. I
love that a Christmas time, mix them? Is it your
you're doing the raspberry or strawberry flavored ones? I put
a tablespoing of sherry in with the cream and add
a strawberry on top.

Speaker 2 (01:59:43):
Is that your thing you're most famous for.

Speaker 17 (01:59:45):
Your I don't know, Marcus. It's just a personal taste
and I like a bit of plank on, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:59:52):
That's good. Please to hear that, and as we all should,
thank you lovely, lovely. There we go to Eleanoris brilliant. Hi, Julie,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (02:00:00):
Welcome, very good evening to you.

Speaker 25 (02:00:03):
Marcus. What an interesting and program on the different ways
to make Lemington's my mum, dear old girl. She's been
there to go many years. Chocolate ones. She used to
make a chocolate sponge, but she used to never didn't
make chocolate covering for them, but she just used jelly.

(02:00:28):
We used to mix up jelly and she just rolled
the pieces of sponge and the jelly makes and then
just roll it in the coconut and they were delicious.
And she'd do green ones and yellow ones and orange ones,
whatever flavor jelly she had. She used to make them

(02:00:50):
that way.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
Well, okay, did she freeze the sponge before she put
them in the jet? She made the sponge or she
bought the sponge.

Speaker 25 (02:00:59):
Mom wasn't a very good sponge maker, so she started
making lemon sens because she wasn't a very good sponge
unge maker. But yeah, she used to make the sponge
and she used to chill it right that. She used
to leave it in the French never did it fresh
because they were fresh they would soak up too much of.

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
The that's right, that's what people said.

Speaker 25 (02:01:21):
Yes, yes, so that's all she did was just jelly.
Jelly makes and we had greens and yellows and oranges
and purples. And if she wanted to do chocolate one,
she'd make a chocolate sponge. Wow, she used to do
it that way, and that's good.

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
And how you make how do you make the chocolates?
How do you make the chocolate sauce for the sponge?

Speaker 6 (02:01:48):
No chocolate cake?

Speaker 25 (02:01:49):
Oh okayunge ye, she make a chocolate sponge and then
just it would be it might even be a green outer,
but chocolate inside.

Speaker 2 (02:02:02):
Goodness. She really mixed it up.

Speaker 4 (02:02:03):
Didn't she.

Speaker 5 (02:02:04):
She did.

Speaker 25 (02:02:06):
They were quite she was quite renowned for it. In
the finish or all these different colors.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
I've never seen a different color part or someone said,
Calvin said there was an orange one at the Hamilton countdown.

Speaker 25 (02:02:19):
All right, yep, yeah, well that's how my mum used
to do it. Very interesting program.

Speaker 2 (02:02:26):
Yeah, very good thing. I don't know if you buy
people don't see people having Jelly's much anymore. I guess
you can still buy a jelly. I think my kids
have ever eaten jelly, which sounds like I've neglected them. Mind.
Do they have firm opinions about it? No doubt. What
was that jelly that you'd made with some sort of

(02:02:47):
cream or something? What was that about? Remember that it
was a reduced cream you made jelly with quite unlikely
sort of a result. And she feel quite sick that
I've mentioned it. Oh jeepest creepers at the time.
