Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
First and foremost welcome to you, Marcus here till twelve
o'clock tonight. I hope it's good where you are people.
If it, I hope it gets better in the next
three hours fifty three minutes that I am here talking
to you and you're talking at me. Thanks for your
emails and I do get in touch if you want to.
There is a couple of things happening. There is that
big fire in Palmerston North. They are saying don't go outside.

(00:36):
In fact you've been told to stay inside. It's the
fitz Herbert Tavern. So it's a band and I'm not
quite sure why it was about it for a while
there it was the pub in town. It's fire start
around five point fifteen eight trucks A command you and
support you on the scene. A large amount of smoke.
People ask to avoid the area. If you're living nearby,

(00:57):
close your doors and windows and stands out of possible
to avoid the smoke. And alert was sent out to
Parmeston North residence that was on the phone. Ask you
people to consider too off their heat pumps and air
con systems. So there we go. That's the latest there.
It's called the former Fits Pub. That's right. A witness

(01:21):
told stuff. The scene at the fire was chaotic, big
thick black smoke. It's been every since two thousand and eight.
What's going on there that the pub would be for
that long? It's seventeen years. It's a bit of a
blot on the town, isn't it. Couldn't you put some
student accommodation there or something? So if you have got
any ideas about that, give me no ideas, any views,

(01:44):
or if you' an eyewitness to that. As guests, I
want to want to say tonight. The other thing today
I can tell you too. I find this interesting is
I was doing my research for the show tonight today
is today is candy corn Day? Now. I looked at
that and I thought, do I know what candy corners?

(02:07):
And I didn't think that I did, And I thought
candy corn must be popcorn that was colored and kind
of bright things. That is candy. Candy corn is not
that at all. Candy corn is something I'm sure we
haven't heard of in New Zeland. Candy corn is something
that's quite strange. Indeed, do you know what it is.
Candy corn, I'll tell you. It's a small, triangular, pyramid

(02:32):
shaped candy made of sugar, corn, syrup, and fondan, with
a chewy texture and a waxy exterior, and it's made
to look like kernels of corn. I have never seen
that in New Zealand. Was originally called chicken feed. They
say people love it or had it. I to my knowledge,

(02:53):
I have never seen that anywhere in this country. Candy corn.
I've often seen it referred to, and I've misnown what
it was. This is candy corn, also known as raindy corn.
I had no idea what that was, so there we go.
That is handy corn is shaped like a kernel of
a corn, a kernel from the cob with three different
colors on. It's weird looking stuff, so there we go.

(03:14):
I just don't mention that because I had no idea
about that. We won't be talking about things that annoy
you tonight. We had a good run with that last up.
We'll be on different stuff tonight. If you want to
start the whole wall rolling, feel free. I don't know
about you, but a lot of people I had discussions
with today thought it was Friday or Wednesday. Isn't it weird?
The thing with the day being the week being a

(03:34):
day short. You'd feel today was like Wednesday, but instead
it feels like Friday. I've never been able to work
there out. You might have your own theories about that.
Feel free to come through. It's loose like a goose.
It's a free for all Thursday tonight. The number is
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you want
to text, it's nine to nine. Do you set the
agenda tonight? Oh? Anyway, get in touch. My name is Marcus.

(04:00):
Welcome Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine two text. I will keep you update with the
news throughout the next three hour fifty three. If anything happens,
you'll be all across that. So yes, by the way too,
this is the news. We often talk about this and
THEAE to do at kmart. You've now got to pay
fifty cents for your trolley. Don't know why they didn't
do years ago, So the first in the country. A

(04:23):
sign of the store indicator of the fifty cents would
be returned when shoppers left the store yep so apparently
last Christmas. And note to doer on Christmas Eve, the
store run out of trolleys and had to have more
sent down from Auckland. Wow, lost trolleys and having the

(04:44):
loads of relax counsel return the trolleys was costing thousands
of dollars. Shoppers who did not have fifty cents coins
were able to buy them at the checkout. I don't
know how much they cost. Smaller wheel baskets are still
available without paying a bond. I don't know what people
find to buy and Kmart. I know that it might
sound slightly precious, but yeah, I do struggle with Kmart

(05:07):
when pound for Man. If it was a choice for
I'd go to the warehouse. But I'm always a bit
funny about the warehouse with their fireworks band. I think
that was virtue signaling at its worst. But there we go.
That has came out to her fifty cents for a trolley.
I thought they'd make it two dollars. Who has a
fifty cent corn anymore? Yeah, anyway, that's the situation. They're

(05:29):
just thinking you out just that, you know, just put
that out there. I know you guys are obsessed with
supermarket trolleys and ways to pay for them. Because of course,
when supermarket trolleys were first invented. They had to pay
people to use them because they thought they looked that ridiculous.
No one would use them, which I quite like. I wait,
one hundreds, you know the rest, Marcus till twelve, Sally,

(05:52):
this is Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Do you seem to have to solve a lot of problems?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's kind I've.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Asked all my friends every night on television they're advertising
program and they will say on TV in something or
on TV and the Plus. Nobody knows how you get
TV in the What a great?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
What a great question? What sort of TV have you got?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Patterns?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
What sort of TV have you got?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh, it's a huge one.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Okay, that's that's that. That's okay. What I'm going to
do Seally right, This is something I've done once before,
because Dan, can you explain to Sally on air what
you need to do to get? Is it TV and
Z plus? TV and Z plus is what you need
to get? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yes, it's it's advertiser program. Yes, they'll say it's on
now and on TV and the Plus and it's not.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
We don't know, no, no, I know, I'm here what's
the program out of interest?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
They advertise all sorts of program.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
But is there is there one that you that you'd
like to see.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I'm listening to TV TV one. Well yeah, okay on
TV one.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Dan, could you explain to Selly what she needs to do? Hi, Sally?
How old is your TV.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Patterns?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
How old or new is your TV?

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
About ten years?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
So what you need to make sure you've got is
what's called a smart TV. So it's one that's connected
to the Internet, and then it will have an app
on it, which will be TV and Z Plus and
you'll be able to watch TV in shows, TV in
ZED shows after they've been on TV.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
It doesn't seem to have been on TV at all.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Do you know what? Do you know what the Internet is?
Do I know what is the Internet?

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You've heard of that.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
A I have a small amount of that on my Alexa.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh you got Alexa. Because the way TV's happen now
is that TV's are not only connected to the aerial,
but they're also connected to the Internet, and these TV
shows are coming from the Internet.

Speaker 7 (08:30):
You know that?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
You know how you know how your TVNZ shows Simon
Bidello and stuff. Is coming through the sky to aeriel.
You know how TV tradiity works. With an aerial, You've
got a TV era and that picks up your programs
from the atmosphere, all right, you know that across that.
You know how radio works. Radio, You've got your aerial

(08:53):
and it comes that way. The way TV and Z
plus comes. It comes through the Internet, which is either
through a cable or through wireless. But you need the Internet,
you need a TV that can access the Internet.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, I'm spans into about four people who are a
lot younger than me and got newer TV set and
none of them know how to get TV and Z plussed.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Wow, that's a worry. How old would these people be?
How old would these people be like in the seventies?

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yes, I am old, I'm in the nine.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I mean you should it would be yeah, okay, I
mean what ideally would happen, Sally? Is it someone would
offer to get you all hooked up? Have you got
have you got neighbors or teenagers? Or because you've probably
got a TV.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
You're fading away? What did you say?

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Then?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I just wonder if there's anyone that could help you
to get connected to the internet. Is that something you'd
like to have happened.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
I've got a grandson who'll be back from that's the one.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's the one, And he live in the same town
as you. Pardon, does he live in the same town
as you? Will he be Will he be coming? Will
he be coming back to the city that you live in?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, he's hanging over there on holiday.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, okay, it sounds to me like he would be
perfect to get you hooked up to the internet.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
My pleasure, my absolute pleasure. Keep in touch, because that
was we went through a lot of that when remember
sparked what the rights of the Rugby World Cup and
I thought we'd actually got everyone internet savvy then? But
which ones to watch? She might want to watch Survivor
the World versus Australia, watch the final of that tonight.

(11:02):
Get in touch if you want to partake. Nice to
hear you, Dan, Yeah, I think that was I liket' say.
How old or how new was your TV? Yeah? If
the woman has an eyepatching it TV did on that,
she might need a crime cast. But that's not for
me to do. That's for that's for the grandson, isn't it.

(11:25):
I mean That's what grandchildren are for, aren't they? Nineteen
past eight? By the way, speaking of candy corn, I
found this interesting. Ah now Thurman Merman complained about getting
candy corn in his advent calendar on the movie Bad Center.
Mind you, I tell you what candy corn. I'm not sorry.
Advent calendars have changed this year. There's all sorts of one.

(11:46):
There's even a waz jig Jigsaw Advent calendar here that
touches a lot of box has done it. Wendy, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
Hi Marcus, Helen is and I good Thank you, Wendy.
Good Now. I'd like to tell you something that I
found out. It hasn't been on the news. Year was
all very secret that Fronterira are planning many redundancies. I
haven't and I haven't heard on any of the news

(12:16):
about Frontira. Just how much all everyone's getting lots and
lots of money.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
But is this because they're selling off that business so
there would be a lot of redundancies, wouldn't there because
their business is going overseas? The day related to.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
That, well, maybe I don't know, but I mean the
thing is, it hasn't been said the news or anything.
And I thought you'd like to know.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Have you got people in the know, have you, Wendy.

Speaker 8 (12:42):
No, I'm not telling you how I know you don't.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yep. Okay, but it's it's it's it's it's.

Speaker 8 (12:48):
All very secret, which is not very good.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, that's right too, Wendy. There you go a lot
of redundancies at Fonterra. You heard it here first. Appreciate that, Wendy.
Thank you, Ben Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (13:01):
You give it, Marcus, destroye thing you allude to. It's
been happening in Assie for a few years now. I've
got the stores like the big w LDI came out
in that the trolley sits in the trolley bay. You
and sort of a coin where you buy this. It's
like a mechanism that slots on instead of a coin,

(13:21):
and buy those and it will not release your coin
or that mechanism until the trolley is back in the
trolley bay. So it means you can. It just means basically,
they don't have to pay trolley people to go out
and collect the trolleys, and they don't you know, sit
in car parks and being into cars and stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Because there's private people. There's individuals are entrepreneurs that go
and get the trolleys. That's the way it works, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (13:44):
Yeah, Well, it just means you don't get your two
dol a coinback because you put the two litle coin
in and it spits it back out at you when
it goes back into the trolley bay, So you don't
get that back where you don't get your mechanism back
until it's actually in the trolley bay. So it's like
an incentive to return the trolley.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah. But what I'm saying from out and we've had
many discussions about this over the years with overseas trolley
returns and what tends to happen as people just realize
that two dollars is gone, but they just abandon their
trolley and other people are stationed around the car park
and they will grab the trolleys and that's their income
is returning them for the two dollars, which is neither
here nor there.

Speaker 9 (14:21):
Yeah, it's not an issue because it just means that
the store doesn't have to employ someone them past the
cross ons are you and me.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's the free market, the tree market at play with
people returning the trolley. This is not how it's going
to work, Oh, fifty cents. I don't know how it's
going to work with the return. I suppose people will
still return the trolleys for fifty cents and not to
do or would they? I suppose so, well, you'd hope.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
So you know, I've been free raider recently, just on
the way to Auckland, driving up there, and you see
a lot of trolleys just like pushing them parks and
on the side of the road and that, and you
get a whole lot of homeless people sitting around town
that have got a trolley. So yeah, I don't know
how it will work with fifty cents, but it definitely
works overseas when we.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
All get sick of kmart Oh eight one hundred eighty
ten eighty. Marcus, the warehouse is selling pet Advent calendars.
So my cat and grand cats are getting one each,
thanks warehouse. Well that's come to that. Don't tell me.
I wasn't warning you about the fall of society now
that cats are getting Advent calendars. Cats even know about Jesus.

(15:26):
You wouldn't think so, would you, Marcus. I think Alexa
is quite a thing with the elderly. I heard a
group of oldies talking about what they were doing with
their alexs. She is Jilly Marcus White, Does Dan sound
like you? For a good question, Marcus, is it the
first time we've heard Dan on the radio? To be fair,
it was a bit of a hospital pass asking to

(15:47):
explain to a ninety year old how to use a
smart TV bread. Well, I had no idea she was
in their nineties to begin with, because the name was Sally.
It sound like quite a peppy young person's name, and
I thought it would be an easy fix. But when
she said, oh, you're fading away, I don't know what
was going on there. But she's still I mean, I
thought Winston could step into this. If anyone deserves to

(16:08):
be able to watch extra TV channels, it's elderly people.
Isn't that the and when they love their TV? And
I don't know what the answer is there. I don't
have an age concerned. If it's the gold card, I'm
not going to send someone around to a house, and
I don't trust everyone. But she needs to watch TV
in deed plus and TV replus, all those shows because

(16:29):
before soon, you know, Coronation Street's going to go to
TV and Dead Plus, so that's going to be like
the Fall of Rome. So yes, So if anyone's got
any bit of suggestions, someone's in an iPad. But she's
still gonna Yeah. I don't know what they are. It's
too confused. It's too confusing for me. And after Spark
TV and the and the All Blacks on Spark TV,
I've explained that too many times. Marcus. I don't know

(16:54):
if you're aware, but on the KFC hacks you can
get twenty pieces for ten dollars. Great value, Marcus. The
trolley dollars has been around for ages and certain Carr countries.
Remember the movie The Two with Tom Hankstt's okay news
in and we're catching up. Sally might be d off
with a freeview box that connects to a coexial cable

(17:15):
and satellite dish. But who'd want a pet advent calendar?
I think advent calendars have gone too far. Last year
there was a Cheese Advent calendar. I know this because
a guy rang up the show that was involved with
selling them, and they didn't sell it all well. And

(17:36):
he was doing the heavy track with a lot of
little cheese packages from his company's Cheese Advent calendars. So yes,
there are. It's become a thing, Advent calendars. There's even
an Advent calendar of Advent calendars. So in every little
box is another Advent calendar. Go figure. Yeah, there are

(18:01):
also beauty Advent calendars with just make up in them.
There is an offensive Advent calendar with insults in them.
But yet's a thing to fang out of all my
things to do with Christmas. And I'm not the greatest

(18:22):
Christmas supporter. I think the biggest waste of the environment
and country shipping and product and forced labor and an
obfuscation of the spirits of Christianity would be the Advent calendar.
They're a dead loss. We even get a whiskey Advent calendar.

(18:46):
Well that doesn't say scream Christmas? Does it? Get in touch?
If you want to Hettel twelve, hold your horse for
you there on, hold I beat it with you. Soon
it is half past eight, Nina headlines. Please thank you, Marcus.
I love an Advent calendar.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
I knew you were going to say that, Well, there
we go, there we go. Well it's lucky as you're
tied with what would are your favorite?

Speaker 6 (19:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (19:10):
I mean if there's all sorts now as you've been
talking about. But I always had one growing up and
I just love them. Really well, Okay, are you a
bit anti Halloween with all its because that's not plastic joke.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
It's getting pretty big now to me, isn't It's it's
just future. It's to me, it's just the landfall of
next week, all on your supermarkets, all those giant plastic pumpkins,
those poor children that make them.

Speaker 10 (19:35):
Yeah, no, yeah, I hear you totally, But I don't
want to be a cheered gym of everything because I'm
sure you're probably read pro Halloween as well. A well no,
I I yeah, not not massively into Halloween because it
hasn't always been a big thing for me, Like it's
only now it seems like it's getting big with the kids.
But grow well, my enjoy I did have a party
one year when I was fourteen.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
So what did you dress as? People will enjoy that
I dressed up.

Speaker 10 (19:59):
I wore all black and a black wagon looked like
some kind of freaky Oh was I from you know
the Adams family thought you might be h yeah, what's your.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Name of the skill? It was a rider or something
like that was he? Yeah, what was her name?

Speaker 10 (20:12):
Oh gosh, it's was it Wednesday or it's got.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't know, I've never seen of it. What was
the name Dan? What was her name? Wednesday? Is the daughter? Yes?

Speaker 10 (20:24):
Yes, yeah, but no I yeah so Halloween? Yeah yeah,
but at Christmas. I love I love all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Just another text through people. Thanks for all their heads up, Marcus.
Do you know Wilworth for making a lot of people
done in the next few days restructure, heaps of people
out of work, so many unhappy people. I don't know
what the KFC hack is either. Are the twenty pieces
of chicken for ten dollars? You might know something about that, dB,
This is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Just on the trolleys. If people won't bring back a
trolley for two dollars, what makes them think they'll wring
them back for fifty cents? Okay, it's a good, bigod point.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
So you're saying that overseas they won't bring it back
for two dollars. What it seems to be offensive to
the people. I like to know it to think that
they're actually going to do all that for a quarter
of the price they'll do anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, yeah, and say who cares the.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
The people should go and strike and say we deserve
two dollars skime. Would they wanted to be more expensive? Yes,
because I can't work out which way that one would go.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeahs at least a rule more ubiquitous to the piece.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Well, nothing you do with the fifty cent pieces there?
Could you get a box of how much is a
box of matches?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
I don't know, don't use matches exactly?

Speaker 3 (21:41):
How much would they be?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
No idea?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
What's the cheapest thing? What's the cheapest? Thinking about the shops,
that's not a sweet?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's just going to say four milk bottles, but those
are sweet? Could no, you can't even buy a bottle
of water.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Pass I can't think of the cheapest thing you could
buy that. It's not a sweet. You could buy one egg?
You couldn't buy I suppose, Yeah, I can't work of
it anyway. Yeah, so fifty cent pieces need to go anyway?
What did you want to tell talk about? dB?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I've got a quick heck for you, wronger, Lise, and
I haven't. The other night when you go to the
chemist there to get your prescriptions, a lot come and
bottles that are secondly the same shape, size of color,
and will just bite recipicles and call us of the
herd of sighted. Every time you go to ta pool

(22:37):
you have to try and read the label who is
by heck on the top of them. On the true cap
with chapter of cap you simply write two in or
one in or three daily what on cap? And then
you don't have to look at the label. You work

(22:58):
out what the DOCA does and you write it on
the cap.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
So you're right, three D for three daily.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yes, So I have one that's got two on it,
which is two in the morning, and a couple of
others that have just there might be ones, but one
wants one and one wants too. And rather than have
to read the labels on each of these being written
on the cap in permanent marker, thank.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You lad, you can get your pharmacists to put them
in blister packs all your daily doses. Have you thought
about that?

Speaker 11 (23:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That costs you extra money?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Does it you?

Speaker 12 (23:33):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
And well?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't think I don't think it. I don't think
it does anymore. I think the kits changed. I think
they can do that quite readily with great alacrity. Is
that the right word?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Solacrity is a good word for a week today. By
the way, I know that I know why flatmate does
the blister packs, but I find I have the little
the box in my draw next to my bed. Yes
in the morning, having to try and read the label

(24:06):
that was my hat for the day.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
As long as you don't put the wrong lids on them,
that could happen. Let's hope it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I won't go what's called it? Oh yeah, Davis good?
Maybe take at the cool ones in the world.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
It would be nice to talk. Thanks very much for that.
Edving calendars, everything now is an envying calendar. There's a
cheese advent calendar. There's an advent calendar of Edving calendars.
There's a waz Jig Christmas Jigsaw edvingt calendar. And the
heartbreaking thing is I've said the kids will buy it now.

(24:49):
I don't want to be doing it was Jig Edving
calendar because I think it's probably a dud. But yep,
that's the cross to beer. We have twenty three Hold
your Horse's cake with you soon twenty three to nine.
I'm thinking of dB goes with a blister pack from
the pharmacuty. He could, in some ways look at his
own advent calendar, opened a different thing every day before Christmas.

(25:10):
That might work for him. Get in touch with you
want to talk here till twelve Kate. Good evening. Sorry, Kate,
I've got my mouth is not great today. Kate, It's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Good evening.

Speaker 12 (25:22):
Huh, that's okay. I hope you're okay. I worked at
a my teen and christ church like five years ago
for four years, and we were all labeled customer service,
and so you were on customer service here on checkout,
and you were on trolley bringing, and some of the

(25:46):
young girls didn't want to be seen on bringing in trolleys.
I absolutely loved that, and I said, if you don't
want to do it, I'll do your shift. So I
did dear shift, and I spent my four years bringing
in trolleys from the half packs and keep me fat outside.

(26:09):
And I absolutely loved it.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Wow, Wow, what are calling? Did you have one of those?
Did you? Did you have one of those like a
long bit of webbing like rope with a hook on
the end that you'd actually take.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
A whole No not no, no, not like pack and
save anything like that.

Speaker 13 (26:25):
I would.

Speaker 12 (26:26):
The most I could do was four trolleys at a
time fourteen no, oh, my girl, fifty cluss, but.

Speaker 14 (26:39):
Just go out?

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Why would you not do five? What happens? What what happens?
If you went to five? Would it be too too
long to hold the front handle? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (26:48):
It would be too yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just
bought them all in and it was a great job
in the summer outside and all the young girls, oh no,
I can't be seen backing trolleysn.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
And I loved that.

Speaker 12 (27:03):
And it keep me fish and yeah, so each their own,
but yeah, keep fish.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
And it would have been interesting if it will be
interesting you in a pedometer to see how many CA's
you did the day, because I guess you're probably doing
fifteen k's with trolleys, would you be, Yeah, well.

Speaker 12 (27:19):
There will probably be nothing because I've worked in the
mines prior to that in wa and I had some
a mine predometer and I was doing ten k's today,
so before that. But at this time, you know, all
these young girls, oh, I can't be seen, and they

(27:42):
just give this ship to me and I just do it.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I loved that.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
I love that.

Speaker 12 (27:47):
I keep me fat. I was outside.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
It was fantastic, brilliant, Kate.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
That's a good call from you. Thank you. I like
that trolley's there's even a fountain pen ink Advent calendar.
Bargain chemists do blister pecks for free. By the way,
Vert Cargele is about to get a bargain chemist. I
look them up. They're actually started by a Dneedin company.
I was curious to see because it is yeah, who

(28:13):
knows where the battle is? So you do free prescriptions
and free free blister pecks. Blister pecks are charged to
make up by pharmacies companies in Auckland called pill Drop
makes up a meta role for friend delivery as free
to customers. Marcus, there is Jehovah's Witness Advent calendar out

(28:35):
and when you open the little door, someone tells you
to f off. That's what you call a Jehovah's Witness joke.
Seventeen to nine. A couple of things to tell you.
There is a chorus outage that she Copper, not you, Sally.
It's out between Pooh hoy. I just bring up the

(29:00):
details for you would say it was between Piol and Welsford.
To walk with Poo Pooho and Welsford up around there
their coppers out won't be replaced till won't be fixed
until tomorrow. By the sound of things, yep so yep,

(29:21):
So it's a begins yet out to chappening at the moment.
The other thing is to cruise have the fire and
this is the fits in Palmerston North. The crews have
the fire under control and are starting to distinguish hot spots.
Heavy machinery has been bored in to help demolish parts
of the building. The process will be ongoing into the evening.
Why does it remain standing for so long? Don't know

(29:42):
what's going on? They keep your texts. Anyone got any
advice for Sally Marcus? Why do we Aremunta pharmacy charges
seven dollars per blister? Pat countdown? Why do we aremutter chemist?
Charge five dollars? Marcus? The actress that played Wednesday in
the Adams Family movie. Her name is Tuesday World. Now, yes,

(30:12):
why don't they just why don't they chemists just make
advent calendars for people's prescriptions for Christmas? Someone said, Marcus,
even a packet of zigzag papers is more than a dollar. Yep,
at might detinuing it. A modern curtain islet twenty milimeters

(30:33):
worth ten meters for ten cents. Marcus, your comments about
advent calendars and Halloween junk ditto that for fireworks. Yes,
but fireworks aren't landfill, they're not plastic. They're all just
mainly paper. They do decompose, Marcus. What have happened to

(30:55):
those aluminium canned crushing machines at the petrol station? They
used to give you cash back for a cycle or
fity drink cans, Hi, Dan and Marcus. Sally can go
to Age Concern or Senior Net for help or just
try channel surfing to get the various channels. She can't
channel surf because she's not on the internet lines free

(31:18):
twelve away from nine o'clock, nine away from nine. We
are talking about Sally and her internet connection. What's the
best waste for someone that wants to watch TV and
has limited the channels? How they can get Teevan dead plus?
She said a lot of her friends don't know how
to get it either, which is heartbreaking. Marcus. Did you

(31:38):
know it costs five dollars to get a trolley at
the Sydney Airport when departing. That's if you need one
by the trick as you take the lift to the
ground floor where people arrive and you see them lying
around for free. That's right. That's one of the hacks
at Sydney Airport. The other hack is, if you want
to get the train to town, you walk to Walleye

(31:59):
Creek get the train from there. It's fifteen minutes, but
you know it's much better. Say freeing walk after you
along flight for a good way to do it. I'm
a great believer in Walleye Creek. Like the name too.
By the way seven away from nine. If you want
to talk on them, my name is Marcus. Welcome here
till twelve, anything goes. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty

(32:21):
and nine two nine two to text. We are talking
about blister packs and subscriptions. We are talking about getting
extra channels on your TV and Z. We're talking about
the trolleys to the way. How they cost you fifty
cents seems a patronizing amount, doesn't it. You might have
something to say about They don't know what you'd say. Oh,

(32:43):
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
to text. Have you got anything to add or anything
else you want to mention or talk about? Would love
to hear from you. There has been a serious incident
in Auckland Great South Road. A serious crash on Great

(33:04):
South Road in Auckland's EPSOM has seen the major street closed.
There are five crews and ambulances. The incident was at
six forty five. The road was closed between Market Road
and Cornwall Park Avenue. So Great South Road between Market

(33:26):
Road and I wouldn't call that EPSOM. I know that
sounds like a and the skim of things not important,
but yeah, I just like to say that. Yeah, anyway,
I'd call it green Lane or the back of Emae. Derek,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (33:45):
Yes, Marcus, I'll apologize. I'm driving his mon. But if
you'll call a once. To get extra channels, they basically
need either need a smart TV or I think you
could purchase a free view box and somebody goes to

(34:06):
the You go to the preview website and it gives
you various details about the different boxes you can buy.
One will connect to a terrestrial antenna, and they've got
another one I believe that will connect to the likes
of a sky Dish. But to get the extra TV,

(34:27):
PENZ Plus and so forth channels, you basically need a
smart TV to get them from the Internet.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
That is, so will they put do they put TV
inte plus terrestrially as well? No, they don't because it's Spico.
It's not linear. You can actually go and then and
work out when you want to watch the show, can't you.
So you'd need some Internet capability, wouldn't you?

Speaker 15 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, you do.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's kind of confusing because it's it's a big leap
of technology for people who probably haven't got that much
capacity for it.

Speaker 15 (35:00):
I believe I can't verify it at the moment, but
I believe the one of the free you box boxes,
I believe you can connect it to the Internet and
that will then give you some smart TV functions.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I believe you'd still need the Internet. Would you still
need the Internet, wouldn't you?

Speaker 15 (35:21):
Yeah? That's right, because.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I imagine someone that's in their nineties probably hasn't got
a lot of use for the Internet. That might sound patronizing,
but if you haven't had it and lived without it
all your life, you're not going to suddenly have an
urgent desire for it, are you?

Speaker 11 (35:34):
No?

Speaker 15 (35:35):
Probably not.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Okay, it's good advice, Derek. I appreciate every kind couldn't
believe it. A four pack of ten mili eyewash saline
for a dollar fifty a bargain. Marc's I'd love to
find a nice long life would an advent calendar that
hurts so good? Kind of good?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Thanks?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
You's looking for a reusable one, one with little rustic
doors that you can personalize. There's an Advent calendar for
at the vets. Wow, no power in dairy flat, Marcus?
Is that due to the chorus thing happening?

Speaker 16 (36:14):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (36:14):
We say no, don't we? We say no? We say
that's a cohenkadinky Marcus, Sally must have the inset to
run her Alexa. If she has a smart phone, she
can get a chrome pass plug in for a TV
for seventy bucks. You're the grandson's got to step up.
Are you sure Sally's not in a rest home and

(36:35):
is locked out of the channels? Will they lock you
out of the channels in a rest home? Why would they?
I don't know the answer to that. I wish I
did know. I don't watch any normal TV. I have
an app that is called watchless Pro. I can get
anything my heart desires on that app. All for seven

(36:56):
ninety five a month. It's one of the best streaming
TV platforms you can get in. It's cheap, but hawks
into Prime, Netflix, Prime, Paramount Plus, Hulu. Is it legal.
I don't know why more people don't do it. Watch
list pro. Yeah, I'm not that ambitious with streaming, but

(37:19):
that's interesting and be in touch if you want to talk.
Always kind of confusing to discuss it and things on
the radio. But people are saying they watch TV and
Z plus and three plus. This she's not talking about
plus one. She's talking about their internet channel, which is
three plus and TV and Z Plus, not TV and

(37:40):
Z plus one. So these are not linear TV channels,
TV channels that just play shows at a certain time
of the day. They're channels. What they're looking at.

Speaker 17 (37:52):
Is new.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
The depositories of different shows. You can watch them anytime
you like. And it's where a lot of TV and
dead stuff goes after it's been screened. And it's where
a lot of shows that they don't think are going
to be broad enough of Peel to go on TV
Freda where they put them on these channels and you
need the Internet to get to them. An internet capable TV.

(38:18):
Why don't you start going with its free, straightforward, So
we're trying to help out Sally with that, if anyone's
got the information about that. By the way, there is
snow on the desert road. Just driving through the desert road.
Flurry of snow has just started. She bloody chilli mate.
By the way, if you are on Parmiston North. Palmerston

(38:41):
North Intermediate Normal School p n N is a school
adjacent to the fire, is closed tomorrow due to asbestos
concerns while assessments are done to the school's air conditioning
and the like. The site that the fire was at
has been a disgraced for years and should have been

(39:02):
removed to bring this from happening. Have a looking on
Google Maps across the road from packets. Terrible. How do
councils allow that to continue to happen? Let me know
about that. The fits must be land banking or something.
My mother in law, who is ninety seven, uses bluetooth

(39:23):
hearing aids that she has connected to her ipadded phone,
your TV. She uses wireless printing. She's taught herself all
these things from reading instruction manuals. Unbelievable. Really, I don't
think I've ever read instruction manual in my life. That's right,
although I think it's important too that we don't shame
people that haven't done that, because everyone's at their own gig,
aren't they. But yes, also talking about blister packs at chemists,

(39:45):
do they charge for those? And could you call those
an advent calendar? There are some pretty sketchy advent calendars
out there. There's one for pets and lines. They're free
if you want to come through. By the way, very
powerful editorial in the press today about the band of

(40:08):
horse racing, So go and read that if that's what
you want to read about. And obviously, once they've banned
the dogs, the people now will come for the gallops
and it's a fairly well written and convincing thing. Feel
free to discuss that. There is a lush, lush Advent

(40:33):
calendar from the soap shop. Wow, there's an espresso cartridge
Advent calendar. There's a men's survival kit Advent calendar. Good
luck with that. It's fifty four dollars on. Actually, I'm

(40:56):
going to go to Timu now and look for advent calendars.
It's been a while since we've talked about TIMU, like
a day they've got mentioned last night I can't remember
what we were talking about. Gosh, there's a lot of them.
There's a Highland Cow Advent calendar. Pretty much everything that

(41:16):
was a calendar now has become an advent calendar because
what's happened. No one wants calendars, but it's all on
their phone, so they've gone with advent calendar. Ones eleven
past nine, welcome here til twelve. I embrace your calls tonight,
feel free to come through as I say, oh, eight
hundred and eighty, ten eighty, it's only tonight. I've ever
known what candy corn was. It's candy that shaped like

(41:37):
a corn kernel. Never heard of that, Never ever heard
of that. And Kmart do they have a trolley return
system now which costs fifty cents? They should have made
it two dollars because no one's got fifty cent pieces

(41:57):
and no one's going to bother returning a trolley for
fifty cents. I mean, I don't say there's probably an
element of judgment the I don't think people would be
too concerned, would be worth a faffing around. So that's
what we're on about today. If you want to partake,
oh eight hundred eighty, ten eighty and nine to nine

(42:19):
to text. I can tell you there's a chorus outage
poohoy North Welsford walk with all the w's, So just
be aware of that. It's not gonna be fixed until tomorrow.
No word of what's caused that. If you're thirteen past nine,
feel free to get in touch with There's something else
you want to say. If you've got news to report
for around the world, do come through. Be nice to

(42:40):
hear from you as I say, oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to text. By the way,
Australian social media influences are moving overseas to avoid the
social media ban. Goodness. Imagine having your family involved in here.
You know that might sound just judgmental. I don't really

(43:02):
think I need to go there, but still wow. And
then moving overseas to prevent that to protect their jobs.
It's just crazy. Thirteen past night, I keept those texts
coming through also tonight. Anything else you want to get
into the mix tonight will be nice to hear from you.
Strange Peppenhausing going Marcus. There is a Hot Wheels Advent calendar,

(43:27):
of course, there is. There is a glasshouse, candles, miniatures,
advent calendar. Although I've had one in past years, I
can't bring myself to pay this year's asking price of
three hundred and twenty dollars. Could someone explain to me
what glass house candles that I've never heard of them?
Oh my god, I kind even walk past a Lush
store without moving away leadlone walk in. The smell is

(43:49):
way too strong. Horrible, horrible. It's been a source of
great surname shame for me. Those shops terrible things. I
don't know what god forsaken chemicals are in there, but
jeepest screepers. And I say that as someone right, and
this is from me to you, And I'm a guy

(44:10):
that loves a bath. What a waste of time? Bath
bombs are absolutely pointless. If anyone set out to design
the world's most useless thing, I think a bath bomb would.
What is the point of that? Terrible and leaves it
kind of a film on your bath, Marcus. Last week
my son son hung out at a kmart and offered

(44:33):
to return people's trolleys and kept the fifty cents. He
made close to one hundred dollars and two hours. Wow,
He's so surprised that Lush is still goes up at
the mall ind Dunedin, and there was a Lush shop
which I was hanging outside because I was watching some
I was on the phone watching the baseball. We're with

(44:55):
the family. Why do we in the bookshop? The went
at the gallery. I can't remember. Needed a Marcus hour,
good evening, Bob, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
A worse today. And I didn't have much to get,
so I walked down there and then I said, oh,
I'll need a paper bag, thank you, And she said
that's forty cents for one paper bag. There used to
be twenty cents. I want to know when they went
up to forty cents. I told her we had to
stick a paper bag and promptly carry this stuff. Forty
cents for one paper bag. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I think they've been forty cents for a while.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Bob, Well, I still think it's bloody ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Were you nice to her?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
No? When they have a nice to people, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
How do you feel that? Well, she's just a wage slave,
I suppose.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
And I just told her that I could well do
without it for that price, thank you.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Yeah, But then what can happen, Bob, this is the
down my The heads aren't showing. It's my theop of it, Rob.
What I could see happening is you could actually say,
shove your bloody bag right, and then you could walk away,
and then you could trip and drop everything and be
there in a paddle throwned by jam and honey and crackers.

(46:09):
And that wouldn't be a.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Good That wouldn't be a good look at all.

Speaker 16 (46:13):
Market.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
So is that what you did? Did you try and
chuck things in pockets and under arms and stuff? No?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
No, no, no, no, only had three items?

Speaker 3 (46:22):
What's a bag for three items?

Speaker 6 (46:24):
Hell?

Speaker 2 (46:26):
One of them was one of them was a large
milk and the other was some bread and the other
was green. So I really need reckon.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
I'd get a bag for that because you want you
don't want the bread to get or crushed either. How
would you pick?

Speaker 2 (46:38):
After working many years in the supermarket and people would
complain to me about the prices and everything had the
bakery staff and all the rest of that, I know
what it's like when you're serving someone, but it's not
her fault. I still let her know that forty was
a disgusting price of paper and back.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Well, I think since they've been charging for bags ypen four,
I don't get them off of it. Sometimes I do
if i'm yeah, if yeah, I occasionally do.

Speaker 16 (47:00):
Well.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
I still think it's just profit taking. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
Okay, how much would how much would a paper bag
cost of?

Speaker 12 (47:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Probably five cents? If you if you've got someone making,
you know, ten thousand of.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Them for very good till about scales, isn't it? Cedric?
This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (47:18):
Oh, good evening, tell you good good?

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yeah, just just gonna yeah.

Speaker 18 (47:24):
I read a couple of questions about labors proposed to
kevil Gain text.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
I do support the is your name ready, Cidric?

Speaker 18 (47:32):
It certainly is there?

Speaker 10 (47:33):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Good? What's that backwards?

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Backwards?

Speaker 18 (47:39):
Yeah? I don't know, ye know, it's it's kind of
it's from Ivanhoe. Apparently it's a made up name. It yeah,
kind of or old English. It's not really Old English,
but it was supposed to sound like it.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Apparently I've never read ivan Hoe.

Speaker 13 (47:59):
Neither neither.

Speaker 18 (48:00):
But but you know, when you google your own name,
this is what you find out.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Yeah, okay, cavil Gain text, Yes, couple of we haven't
actually discussed that I think people are probably waiting until
the elections are closer because it's a year away. But
your COVID's about it, please, Oh.

Speaker 18 (48:13):
Yeah, sure, I was just going to say, I was
you know, from what I understand that it is a
good idea in theory, you know, to to have one
just so that otherwise, you know, we do have a problem.
I believe in funneling a lot of our capital into
you know, unproductive things like you know, property, when we
should be you know, boosting more productive industries. But I

(48:34):
think there's a couple of big problems with Labour's current proposal.
And number one, it's correct me if I'm wrong, But
it didn't seem that they had had any proposal to
make the capital gains tax revenue neutral. And my understanding
is we're actually higher than the average OECD tax and tax.

(48:56):
So so if you know, you know, sure, if you
want to rebalance the tax space. But but it's just
just texting us more for a very inefficient you know goal,
all of of boosting more you know, you know, medical
visits or for everybody, you know. I just think it's
it's a bit of a yeah, it's it's just too

(49:16):
much tax for for what we what we as a
country need, We're not gonna you know, I mean.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Can you see me through the figures about higher text
take on the oe C D because I can't find those.

Speaker 18 (49:29):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I see what I can do. I'm
just driving a vote. But the other I think, I think,
I think the other issue is is that you know,
we we think that the probably is just gonna rise
and rise and rise, because it has in the past.
But that the thing is, I think we've been relying
a lot on immigration to boost that rise. And I

(49:51):
also noticed there's some figures saying that our you know,
people immigrating to New Zealand is actually dropping a lot
because you know, our job our job market is not
what it was. So so I think it's a bit
of a bit of a how Mary pass to kind
of try and try and bank on a billion doll
is coming in the next few years from a capital
gain tax. You know, when when when our economy and

(50:12):
immigration is not going to support it in our first
rate certainly isn't going to So I think.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
I think, I think people I think people do look
at I think there is there is a sense that
the majority of people favor at capital gains tax. I
think then you saw lux and with his how much
do you make the share from his properies with six
hundred thousand without tax? And I guess people see that
and that feels unfair. But then once you start taking
farms out of it and taking other things out of it,

(50:39):
it becomes an effective.

Speaker 18 (50:43):
Well that certain then and then it's kind of you know,
then what's the point at the end of the day.
I mean, I think.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
It becomes performative. It's trying to make out. But if
you take everything out of it, like farms and the lot,
I see art was in it, which was quite interesting.
I don't know that shares were mentioned.

Speaker 18 (50:59):
Ah true, did you see did you see shares?

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Did you see shares mentioned?

Speaker 19 (51:04):
No?

Speaker 18 (51:04):
I didn't see that at all.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
I think some of the I'm a major injured.

Speaker 18 (51:11):
Well, uh you know, I think some of the labor
corcus agrees with you for that performative. It's not really
going to get any real gains and it's gonna real
it's not really it's not very popular, uh policy. I mean,
look at Justina. I do didn't want to touch it
with a Bardge pole. So I think there's still a
lot of people.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
In people are I think people are in favor of Yeah,
it's just yeah, I it's just interesting your calls come
out of nowhere. Said, That's what I'm kind of interested about.

Speaker 18 (51:39):
If you thought that the announcement was last week you Oh.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
But you're not involved. You're not some sort of party
editated for someone, are you?

Speaker 18 (51:47):
I really am? I just I just like I just
like to Yeah, going to talk about it. Yeah, come
across that.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
I'm just always curious because as we get close to
the election years, we get people with vested interest stringing
up and sort of trying to make out that they're
a conson person but actually trying to try and to
speed up.

Speaker 18 (52:06):
Well, if I'm that person, I've got my timing way wrong.
I'm being in the election cycle on.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Soh no, well yeah, it was eleven months. Good to
hear from ysivix seeing that stuff through oe c D.
Thank you. Twenty three past nine. Someone says it Seymour,
So you see it has bang on oe CD average

A terrible pecking combo. I had put the margarine and

(52:54):

the other hand, wouldn't you. I know what Bob should
have done. God on board a bath bomb and steered
here till twelve twenty six pass nine. We're on advent
calendars and trolleys another topic. But we've got a lot
of topics to know, a lot of topics, A lot
of topics. Oh, what's that candle thing? That woman? Why

(53:17):
do I say women? I don't know that was a woman.
That's free sexist of you, Marcus. Maybe she signed her
name as a woman. No, there is a glass house candles.
What is a glass house candle? Miniature? I'm not into it.
I've never understood miniatures. Are the drinking miniatures? I understood

(53:42):
this is Marcus Pete.

Speaker 16 (53:43):
Welcome you, Marcus, happy there?

Speaker 17 (53:47):
Yep, yeah, I agree with you. Fifty cents of waste
of time that goes all that costs to do all
that and make it two dollars, it'll be worthwhile to them.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
I think it's got to.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Be two dollars. No, I haven't seen a fifty cent
coin for about twelve years.

Speaker 17 (54:02):
I still use them red what for?

Speaker 13 (54:06):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (54:06):
Now you get the hospital shops and let people are
short of money, and.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
What's fifty cents in the hospice shop?

Speaker 17 (54:13):
Oh, there's quite a few things like don't know really,
but quite often that it might see you might buy
two items and might be one, might be two. What
what evern the prices are? But quite often you need
fifty cent coins.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Oh no, I've never come across to you one asking
for fifty cents.

Speaker 17 (54:29):
We quite often I saw use my fifty cent coins, really,
and also two of those they're bringing up to two
dollars per for per grocery trolley.

Speaker 20 (54:41):
Trilli.

Speaker 17 (54:41):
I might start hanging around in supermarkets. You know you
got to do twelve? Are you going to do thirteen trolleys?
And you get twenty six dollars more than a minimum wage?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Good on your pete. Thank you, Donna, Donna. This is
Marcus Tello.

Speaker 21 (54:57):
Marcus. I wondered if somebody had told you what a.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Glass No, I think you might be that person. I
think you might be that person, Donner.

Speaker 19 (55:05):
I might be here for you.

Speaker 14 (55:07):
It's a glass.

Speaker 21 (55:07):
House was just a brand of the most phenomenal smelling candle.

Speaker 22 (55:12):
They come.

Speaker 21 (55:12):
It's about a I don't know, do you remember the
old jam tims. It's about half a pound jam or
pounds of jam till that's about the size of these candles.
It's a cylindrical candle, comes in a beautiful glass, come
to a jar and it word's going a lid on
the top of the candle, and you light it not
with the lid on, and you get beautiful smelling candle.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
I like it. I like a candle, like a candle,
Then you will love a glass. Okay, well I might like.
Okay are they New Zealand made?

Speaker 21 (55:44):
I think there Australian? Okay, but I stand corrected there
but incredible smelling.

Speaker 14 (55:50):
But I did.

Speaker 21 (55:50):
A friend of mine works in a store in Northman
and she said to me, look the glass half candle
advent calendar is out and I said, oh, that could
be fun, and yeah, I didn't even want to hold
it when she showed me the.

Speaker 23 (56:01):
Crime and.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
This amazing are the are the smells? The scent quite natural,
smelling like watermelon. It's not all sort of vanilla. I'm
quite particular with my smells.

Speaker 21 (56:17):
It's funny and I think it's like some of them are.
I know what you're saying about the Lush stores, and
I'm really sorry. I never thought of its like one
of your stores.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
But that's a right apology, except to be amazed how
many people overseas would go overseas with at Ah that
was store named after you, and they bring back all
bath bombs. Now I'm not a bath bomb guy. Yeah,
in quite Yeah. Anyway, thank you for that. I'm on
their website now. I appreciate that. I am looking at

(56:45):
the Glasshouse Candle Advent calendar and it's three hundred and
twenty dollars twenty four days of Christmas Advent calendar. What
I don't like about candles these days is they're all soy.
I don't know what I don't know about you, but
I've always thought soy candles are a bit miserable. That's
just me. That's a personal thing. I'm just trying to

(57:08):
look what the twenty four fragmances, fragrance fragrances are it's
a very complicated website. Wat's inside it? Does it right?
Because I presume it would be mirror and stuff? Is
that right? Fragancy? I presume it would be biblical sense,
which from a historical point of view, once upon a
time you'll come across a Once upon a time you'll

(57:29):
come across a biblical garden, which is always interesting with
the plant of the Bible and the spells. But it's
only got five candles, not four candles. There's got hand
creams and body lotions one of a million miles away
from that. That's not my wheelhouse, and a perfume pencil.
What would you do with that beautifully looking packaged? But

(57:51):
there we go. That's the big one, the glasshouse fragrances
twenty four days of Christmas. There might be different ones, Richard,
this is Marcus. Welcome, Yeah, I might good, Thank you, Richard.

Speaker 20 (58:07):
They look yeah, ring got the fits and party burning
down pretty sad extually. As you mentioned, it used to
be the pub to bed in the nineties, good scarky
pub and I remember, you know, the scarfy versus soldiers.
But anyway, I've always got a bit of a reputation

(58:28):
for the pubs burning down.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
And you know, Richard, I was going to say that
you were just cracking out of it. But I remember
on this show maybe five or ten years ago, there
was a pub on the outskirts of town, that one
that was a big live music venue that burnt down.
What was that called?

Speaker 20 (58:43):
Well only I think only last year of the Cloverally burnt.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Down might have been that might have been that one
we're talking about. Might have been, Like, let me just
have a look on Google maps, because I remember that
one that we talked about a lot.

Speaker 20 (58:53):
Yeah, that been down. And then there was the high
Flyers in town that left. They left that closed down
for years too, and it was I think it was
a historic building, but it caught fire as well, So you.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Know, I think I think I think it was the
Cloverly one we talked about. People had great memories from there.
That seemed to be a really big music venue in
its day.

Speaker 20 (59:14):
Yeah, they used to have the kat Rugby club on
the side, and they lost a lot of memorability from
the club as well.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
What what is it about the economy that a pub
in a site that big could lie that vacant, so
I don't understand it.

Speaker 20 (59:32):
Yeah, it's pretty bad, bad anyway, that's what I say.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
Yeah, I appreciate that, Richard, because yeah, I am concerned
about that. And by the way, the school next door
is closed kind of asbestos, which is more of a
reason why you wouldn't hit a building line ruined for
years like that. Can't understand that, just trying to look
on Google maps where it is. Oh yeah, I'm on
it now. I think you can't work out with the schoolers,

(01:00:01):
but if you want to it this or anything else.
Tonight and Advent calendars, that's what we are about tonight.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty twenty six to ten.
I look forward to Cabal gains text. All the people
who buy a house on way he he just uses
B and b's and love cutting trees, will shove off.

(01:00:25):
I got given a Claren's Beauty advoc calendar last year.
It was amazing. Four candles or four candles, you're you're
with the program, Marcus. If you take four or more
different pills, certain pharmacies will do it for free. I
use Zoom in Auckland. It comes in a roll of
sachets and gets carried for free. How did you jump

(01:00:47):
from fifty cents up to two dollars as opposed to
one dollar for a good point, Marcus, I feel for
Sally and all the older people who are struggling with this.
I've recently been helping my mother get to grips with
a smart TV and how to operate it. The remotes
are a challenge for those with arthritic fingers. They generally
have a wheel with direct arrows that will require the

(01:01:07):
user to point them at the TV, use up down,
side to side, and then a central inter button while
noting on the screen where their arrows are taking and
that's right. I was on that today. It's a lot
for them to work out, and if they're not used
to that type of thing, it's really hard. My mum
wanted to be able to catch up with Emmadale Corow
Street help. I bought a village various house and garden

(01:01:29):
type programs. So many people getting confused with a terrestrial
plus one channel. They can get a Google TV or
other dongle to plug and that will convert brit TV
to a smart TV, but they'll still need a way
to navigate the apps. It's like a foreign language for them, Sandy.
Sally definitely needs her grandson to visit Me prepared to
spend a lot of time helping, teaching and coaching his

(01:01:50):
grandmother's It will take a lot of attempts and lots
of practice. I do love people on Facebook that show
pictures of their parents or grandparents remotes with every single
button taped over apart from the volume one and the
on off one and the chain or change. It's one
of my favorite memes of the moment. Marcus, I buy

(01:02:11):
only one hundred bees wax kennels from Hexton Company. Many
companies sell beeswax kennels, but most are mixed with soy.
I'm happy to pay the lext to get the real thing. Yeah,
I like you. I'm a I'm a big fan of
the beeswax. Hello, Matt, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:02:29):
It's just coincident or someone board up cloverly right when
I was driving past the lot.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
That must freak you out. We must think we're following
you or something.

Speaker 11 (01:02:38):
Oh I think so the eye in the skies.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Watching, do they rebuild it or what is the situation there?

Speaker 11 (01:02:46):
Oh no, I don't think so. I know there's a
guest station on the corner now where the car part
used to be. Yeah, I'm just thinking there's not many
of the old places left. The old pubs are maybe
the Royal in town, Yeah, high flyers, I can't remember that. Yeah,

(01:03:08):
I'm just gonna ask one of those calendar is that
when the kids eat all the chocolates in one day?

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. But now you can get DVCT calendars
for your pets. It seems as though there's advt calendar jigsaws.
It seems like the whole edving calendar market has exploded.

Speaker 11 (01:03:26):
Oh, novelty, but well, yeah, just wanted you conference that.
I seem to remember those years ago. It's private still
around because kids can't wait a whole month.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
No, of course they can't. And then yeah, no, yeah,
I'm hearing about exactly. The kids for a while.

Speaker 16 (01:03:42):
Had lego.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Edving calendars against over my protests, but they slightly enjoyed them,
but nothing was that good in them. Thank you for that.
Twenty two to ten to ten to ten. What's the
religious point of an Edving calendar?

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
Okay, Edving comes from the Latin to prepare or wait
for the arrival of So there we go. So that's
it's like a. It's like a. It's like hyping up
the big day. I guess that's the point. So there
we go, Advent calendar, but three hundred twenty dollars for

(01:04:25):
the glasshouse one twenty to ten. Oh goodness is at
the time nineteen to ten. Welcome people, hittl twelve eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two
to text. Yeah, if you want to talk on air,

(01:04:47):
that's the whole point tonight, looking forward to what you've
got to say. We're talking about pubspooning down and advent
calendars and bath bombs and getting TV for people that
want to watch extra channels. But having on the internet
very complicated requires us patience, much patience. You've got something

(01:05:07):
to say about that that would be of use. By
the way, we're not talking about the Plus one channel
to talk about the even dead plus, so I can
see where the confusion is. Not plus one but plus
oh wait one hundred and eighty ten eight. If you
want to talk about this or anything else, there's some

(01:05:29):
other topic you've got for tonight. I'd like to hear
from you. More calls from an editor on the press
to ban horse racing. It's quite well written and it
does address a lot of those things that people say,
like horses love it, so yeah, worth reading. They love

(01:05:54):
to race. Horses don't love to race. They love to run,
which is not the same thing. They're bred to do
this And it says so are dancing bears, performing seals
and bulls used for bull fighting. That doesn't make it right, yep.
It goes to say greyhound Racing's band became effective. This
becomes effected this coming August, after twenty month wind down.

(01:06:15):
It's time we did the same with the horse racing.
So that's not gone away. In fact, in some ways
with the Minister of Racing was to Peter's banning the dogs,
he's made himself open to the same. Well, he's opened
that that he could be called hypocritic of his band
one and not the other. And of course he's got

(01:06:37):
no plans to ban it. But I can see where
people are going with that. What did that person text
me about Barry's beaey cheese? I wonder if they work
for them. I just have a set in the shops today,
But do get in touch, you want to be part
of the program Tonight. I've got other topics, but these
are going okay for me. It's so far. I don't

(01:07:00):
ever know why soy boons with soy candles. They must
do some process to it, mustn't they. I never thought, Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know how you make swy wax. Mind,
I don't know how you make tofu either. It's all
quite complicated. But yeah, I don't even know swy wax
is a recent invention or quite what that is. Oh,

(01:07:24):
your your hydrogenate sweeping oil. I don't think it's a
good thing. Hello, Sean, this is Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:07:31):
Welcome, good evening to you, Marcus hed On.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
Good Thank you, Sean.

Speaker 23 (01:07:37):
Ironic that you're talking about Edwin calendar tonight. We my
wife bought one one trade me a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
and it arrived today. Wow, trade out of China, and well,
what would you normally expect from the advent calendar?

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
Chocolate behind cardboard, it's melted and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Delivery some sort of gifts every day. Correct.

Speaker 23 (01:08:03):
Yes, this had a whole lot of envelopes, no gift nothing.
It was claimed on the on the actual back of
the calendar that it was official license. YadA, YadA, YadA.
And it contains X, Y and Z every day of

(01:08:23):
the week. And when I emailed them, I got a
reply back a few hours later saying that they're willing
to give us a fifty refund.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Is it a themed advent calendar?

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Sean?

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
Why did you know?

Speaker 23 (01:08:39):
It's from a TV sit of a cult TV.

Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
Show okay, back in the nineties, which is called What
Gilmore Girls.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Oh yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. I don't. I don't
know that show, but Dan's mad for it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
But yeah, I mean what was what was.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
What was supposed to be in the envelopes?

Speaker 16 (01:09:03):
Chains, key rings?

Speaker 13 (01:09:04):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Okay? Actually actual things? Okay, Wow, I mean not not letters,
but actual things.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Actual items, Yeah, actual life.

Speaker 23 (01:09:14):
And then the pictures that show the envelopes closed. But
but when we got here, the envelopes are all flat
and the flats were up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Wow, something's got Something has gone bad in China by
the sound of things, hasn't it.

Speaker 23 (01:09:31):
Yeah, But they're only they only want to give us
half our money back.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Oh no, you want all of it back? That no
one wants. I mean that the whole point of an
advert calendar is what's on the envelope Without that it's
five percent exactly.

Speaker 23 (01:09:42):
It's useless.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Yeah, it's worse because you know you want you there,
who who are we dealing with?

Speaker 23 (01:09:49):
What they call I think there's a best Best Buys
New Zealand or something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Oh this is the trade this is the trade me flogger.
Yeah yeah, yeah, oh no, Look, do you want me
to give them bad feedback as well? I'd be giving
them like face and and and the negative negative negative.

Speaker 23 (01:10:05):
I'll give the option, you know, I said, you know, happy,
happy to take all my money back or or for
shure through trade me and.

Speaker 9 (01:10:11):
Give you a bad feedback.

Speaker 23 (01:10:14):
So yeah, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
I love a trade me battle because they start quite genial,
don't they. Next thing in that, but that's.

Speaker 23 (01:10:21):
Deal interesting, you know, you know, with it with a
cellar like that, and the and the sort of Asian
summer males. It's yeah, it's entertaining.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
But gosh and your wife were organized, apart from the
fact that the dud that she's got the advent calendar
so early.

Speaker 23 (01:10:37):
Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, let's say she ordered a
couple of weeks ago, and you know, they said it
would be here within seven to ten days, and which
it was, and then that's all good.

Speaker 24 (01:10:45):
And then yet we.

Speaker 23 (01:10:46):
Opened it, got home tonight and opened it up, and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
It's it's the gift of no gifts.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Well, it's extraordinary. This is I mean, this is a
talk back pinnacle for me to actually casually mention Advent
calendars and have someone with such an exciting Advent calendar story.
On that very same night, We've got the guy driving past,
the guy driving past the pub as we speak of it,
and you literally, on the day we talk Advent calendars
have received one that's a calendar with no Advent.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Exactly.

Speaker 23 (01:11:14):
No, no no Advent at all.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Keep us post, keep us posted, shure, and I'm liking
that story a lot. Wow. Someone's asking if there'd be
a market for Advent calendar beer. I'm sure there is,
and I'm sure that's been done. I'm sure those are
all those craft breweries that seem to be in such
financial trouble. I don't know why that is, by the way,
and they charge so much, but I think all of

(01:11:37):
them have done kind of beer subscriptions, which is kind
of similar to an Advent calendar. Hmmm. I think in
my mind I've always had the ED calendar confused with
the song about the twelve Days of Christmas because there's
two different times, the Advent calendar and the twelve days
of Christmas. What are the twelve I don't yeah, I
don't know what they symbolize. That seems to be like

(01:11:57):
a shorter timeframe. Lines fifth. You want to be a
part of the show tonight, hope you've's got their power
back on. I've seen the local press. Well always say
local press. I know what I'm talking about, but there
has been a lot of talk. I think the head
of the Southland Fed Farmers or something saying farm preparedness

(01:12:20):
needs to be a focus, no kidding, I think everyone.
I think that'll be the mar thing everyone's beginning. A
generator for Christmas. That seems to be a must have,
I would think, not a nice to have. By the way,
the baseball today for every good they've gone ahead the
Blue Jays three two next games on Saturday in Toronto wherever. Exciting.

(01:12:45):
So it's been a great series. A het Tel twelve.
You want to talk eight away from ten at back shortly,
Oh evening, Ralph, this is Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:12:55):
Welcome as I was listening before, and you're talking about
Farmerston North Hotels. In one hotel you said was a
rather big one, and I think it might have been
the hotel because my rugby club bought it, but I
don't know what happened to the end of it. It
may have burnt down. But that's where the big big
Shimdece used to be on the on the Pioneer Highway

(01:13:17):
going out towards Wellington.

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Also, yeah, well that was that.

Speaker 7 (01:13:25):
That was a decent sized place. You know, you'd fit
four or five hundred people in there Nosewheare and the
clover League was only a public bar. I think I
had music there, but I don't think it would have
been to the standard of the ABLEPUNI they used to get.
You know, bands would come from Auckland, Wellington, all around
the country and you know they would be there for

(01:13:46):
the whole working So it was a it was a
deep menue.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Okay, I don't know which one it was, but I
know that we were talked about a fire not too
long ago. A lot of people talked about it and
said it was a big deal, and I thought it
was the Cloverly Well. It was certainly in that part
of that north west part of Palmerston. But if you
say that's not a big pub, that it might not
have been that.

Speaker 7 (01:14:05):
No, well it's possible, but Cloverly certainly didn't come up
to the standards of the OPUNI.

Speaker 25 (01:14:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
It was one of the big, old fashioned old pubs.
You know, when they built the big barns. It was
one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
Yeah, Okay, yeah, I guess. I guess all those pubs
with big car parks now drink drivings sort of been
the end of that, hasn't.

Speaker 7 (01:14:25):
It's and the people that went with them.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
I'm hearing her Ralph. Oh, I've vividly recalled the our
opinion Palastal that seventies and eighties has been the place
to be over any given weekend. The health band was
called Milkshake Good Memories. You don't know if that was
the one that burnt out or not. Hello, David's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:14:52):
Can you handle a little bit of traffic management talk tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Or I'd love it.

Speaker 16 (01:14:58):
I was pretty surprised Orange Cones got off with a
very light coverage last night.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
I was surprised all sorts of things didn't get mentioned,
and I think some of them we could be relieved
about but anyway.

Speaker 25 (01:15:07):
Yes, Well, do you know the flashing light trucks that
tell you roadworks are ahead?

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (01:15:14):
And in the top corners they've got flashing strobe lights
and then they might have a big flashing arrow. Yes.
Did you know that there is a maximum level of
brightness a sign is allowed to be at night?

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
Wow?

Speaker 16 (01:15:27):
And they're brighter than it by a long way.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Jeepers, you sound like a car carro and are you
going to do something about it?

Speaker 23 (01:15:36):
No, it's yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:15:38):
I don't tend to talk to people with deaf is.
I was going to save my.

Speaker 9 (01:15:42):
Breath, but I've passed quite.

Speaker 25 (01:15:44):
A few of them on the last couple of nights,
and I find them blinding and may think they make
it more unsafe. I'm so busy trying to adjust my
eyes for this thing flashing at me that I can't
see what the thing is I'm avoiding.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
I think it's mainly a motorway thing. Are you an
Orkand or Willington?

Speaker 25 (01:16:01):
Are you on the Auckland Motorway. I was driving rural
up nor last night and there was only cow paddocks
all around me, no street lights at all. Shame brightness level.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Okay, we need to talk more about that, but thank
you for that. Back after the news. Here'll twelve get
in touch. One of it is Marcus. Welcome, welcome, welcome, Marcus,
love your show. Thank you my mother. I took the
South Island Trip road trip in ninete eight. Were so
wo'ld stat at the beautiful Charlton Hotel phoned to booking
for the night. I need to find it burnt down
the night before. Wow, we'd coincidence again. I was just

(01:16:35):
following a flashing roadwork arrow track at Auk Airport and
thought truck light were too bright from my eyes and
the guy rings and talks about maximum brightness. That's good too.
Hit'll twelve. You want to talk Chris. This is Marcus.
Good evening you.

Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
Hi, Marcus, it's Christ here. I actually grew up in Pummy,
so I kind of know a bit about the territory,
but I have lived away from there, even though I've
still got a few family up that way. Okay, that
our pooney cavern there is now a supermarket and I

(01:17:11):
believe it would have been a countdown, but with its
new Liverrettes, probably now a wall Worth.

Speaker 19 (01:17:17):
And if you look on.

Speaker 6 (01:17:18):
The Orenez Facebook page, the fire that they had today
would have been the old fits Ye which is on
f Suber Avenue, Ferguson Street, which is just down the
road from my intermediate.

Speaker 13 (01:17:32):
That ia week to.

Speaker 6 (01:17:34):
God, I've got some memories from there, being in there
when the erebus we were waiting to hear of the
museum plane what had happened. It was a friend's birthday.
You've never heard a pub so quiet, and every time
somebody came in the door. I always remember people saying
any news, any news. And then a good friend she

(01:17:56):
worked as a bar maid in the fits before she
went overseas, So you know, I sort of growing up
on Palmers nor if you had those memories and the
hour pooning was always good for live bands we went.
I always remember a Dragon a Dragon concert new one.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Oh yeah, that would have been big on the circuit.

Speaker 6 (01:18:15):
Yes, yeah, Now the service closed in two thousand and eight,
I believe, and it's basically been Vatan, but there was
a bottled store nearby, and if you look on aren
Zed's Facebook page, there's also a Copthorn hotel nearby. You
can actually see the word cops not the side of the building,

(01:18:36):
because we came up on our phones tonight and I
said to my husband, I said, oh, once, that's the fits.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
So don't Chris, what do you mean we say came
up on our phones tonight.

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
Well, you know, just because you've moved from your hometown
doesn't mean you don't follow stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
I thought, I thought you you got to look it.
I mean it was on Facebook or something on your phone,
Is that right?

Speaker 24 (01:19:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:19:00):
Yeah, oren Z had a piece on it. There's a
video and then there's photos that other people talk and
there's a bit of information on the pretty short as
Orange Eds.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
I'll check it out. Chris, thank you, ten past ten.
Laurie Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:19:17):
Yeh Marcus. No, there definitely was a phone alert for
that fire and warning near closed all your windows and
major fire. But as it turned out, I didn't say
the location at that stage. I went outside of that look.
I couldn't see any smoke, but we're way up wind

(01:19:40):
of that of the of the sits that when you're
saying that they're going to close the intermediate school tomorrow,
possible asbestos dust flying around. I would have thought that
more of the problem would have been the large Copthorn Hotel,
which was or they may even own that probably probably

(01:20:04):
with the Fitzers, but just immediately next door it's just
been completely refurbished, you know, six or seven story hotel.
If there was, they may well have got into the
air conditioning. Possibly it's been more of a risk than
the school, because I think that was the school from
what I could see, was probably up wind of the

(01:20:27):
fire as well. But it's sort of interesting. My daughter,
she's a firefighter and fami, but she's missed the US
two big fires in the pubs. She's up racing up
and Tahia. They will walk her Amma races, so she'll
be perhaps disappointed she missed another one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
Well, fires don't happen that often, do they, I mean
in a firefighter's career, So probably if you missed the
big ones, it probably it does. It must probably affect
the the whole folklore.

Speaker 13 (01:20:59):
Of the town.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
Now I apologize for this question, Laurie, but you'll begetting
this a lot. Is she on the calendar?

Speaker 13 (01:21:07):
No? I think she is. Actually it looks good.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
I mean the kind looks growth so good on them
looks great.

Speaker 16 (01:21:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:21:13):
No, she's been off on leaver but and doing the
fear overseas paddling lately but yeah, no, it's from what
I can see on the TV, it looks a pretty
good look in Canada.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Yeah, it's not good on them because I think they
make six percent of the force. Would that be right?
It would be more than that. I read the whole article.
I was interested in that. I think it might be
six percent.

Speaker 13 (01:21:33):
Yeah, it's still a Philly no number because it's it's
still one of those occupations where they actually they can't
reduce the standards, you know, for of qualifying, you know,
like they have with the police for certain things, the size,
because the citical attributes, you're still going to be able
to A woman has to be able to go into

(01:21:56):
burning buildings and drag bodies out regardless of you. She
doesn't get to pick. So I take the light ones.
They're going to be able to man handle the Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
That's tell me something, lay because I apologize for asking
you and not her because she hasn't rung. But you
know how the male firefighters, I think I presume they
spend a lot of time pushing weights around when they're
not fighting fires. Is that the same with the with
the female ones. We're always having to what does your
daughter remain fit enough? To wak Heama.

Speaker 13 (01:22:26):
No, well she that's one of the advantages of why
she did because she actually qualified teacher basically, but because
she was a serious kayaker. She was one of the
attractions of being at the fire fighters that they've got
a gym attached to the so and some of their
downtime they can get in and and and work on that. Yeah,
I mean, so that is an advantage amount and that

(01:22:51):
four days on you know, and being able to accumulate leaving.
That's sort of that worked doing well with you know,
trying to be serious on a sporting but hey, what
just one thing with the say with these pubs of
Parmi that has had lane wasted for quite a while
or derelict and when you just say the fits was

(01:23:12):
a disgrace. The other one which had a problem was
when it was called High Flyers, which was in the
Square and Parmy, which had been the previously the main
post office in the head of fire and now that
is actually in the process of being rebuilt by a
suddenly got a crane there and building a brand new

(01:23:34):
hotel part of the Windham Group. I think it is.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
It would be one it would be one of the
worst names for pub I've ever heard because because well
because you know, you know a pub and Parvestan is
not going to be full of the high flyers? Is
it named ironically?

Speaker 13 (01:23:49):
No, well, no high fliers was that was the name
of the bar.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
I don't think that a terrible name for a bar.

Speaker 13 (01:23:55):
Oh yeah, well it's not going to they're not going
to continue with that. I don't think it's but yeah, no, well,
I mean it was. It's sort of they're going to
keep the facade on the square side and they're gonna,
you know, it's going to be have little boutique shops
and stuff like that. So it should. It should. It's
going to be pretty good, really, But it's at least

(01:24:16):
it's one that sort of survived with Cloverly and the
old Pony they did the sites. They was empty for
quite a while and they uh it's so at least
they probably will pull down the pull down the have
to pull down the fits now and then do something
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
But yeah, it might be a good thing. Laurie, Thank you, Kevin.
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:24:40):
Hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Thank you Kevin.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
That's the way.

Speaker 19 (01:24:44):
Sandra Carley, Yes, is this woman trying to do through
our country. She is an animal advocate, and she's now
then her horse dressing, which of course would go for
fal categories gallops and props. So I would imagine, how

(01:25:09):
is this woman getting a cracking them the press? This
is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
Absolutely Well, if she's an advocate, then obviously that's her
job to get comments like that across. And so yeah,
I think probably papers provide a variety of opinion pieces. Yes, well,
but I think the thing is kevin. Now that they
have banned dog racing, surely they're always expecting that people

(01:25:37):
would come for the horses next.

Speaker 19 (01:25:39):
Oh I know what big bet women for the in
the first place? How dog racing? Dogs enjoyed racing and
they have a lovely vice. The farm's a little greyhound
puppy and came up to me and said, oh you
off your head? Just anyway? What or where do you

(01:26:06):
all the line this woman wants to ban horse racing, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
I think if I think if you look at the
continuum of what they've banned, they've banned animals and circuses.

Speaker 19 (01:26:18):
Oh yes, I understand that completely.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
They've banned cop fighting, they've banned dog fighting.

Speaker 25 (01:26:24):
Of course, So.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
If you look back in history over the years they
have banned animals used for entertainment. They haven't banned the
rodeos yet. I imagine that's in their sites. I meagine
horse racings in their sites.

Speaker 19 (01:26:37):
Okay, well, what about then? What are we going to
do with the Olympics were Christian team, we'll be going
to ban them because.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
I don't I don't think the horses should I think
I don't think the horses should be transferred halfway around
the world for I don't think the horses should be
in the Olympics. Look, come on, Marcus, No, I don't
and I'm allowed my opinion. I think everything else is
just human powered I think. I don't think it's good
to watch. I think it probably the Olympics sit itselves

(01:27:08):
down a bit with the equestrian.

Speaker 19 (01:27:10):
Oh, we've excelled in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
But we can't just keep something. We can't just keep
something because we're good at it, I know.

Speaker 19 (01:27:21):
And then what are we going to do if we
users use horses on the farm like we're going to
band riding in them. We know it's not natural for
us to get on their backs because when they're in
the wild are an animal of flight and they are
worst enemy, of course, is the tiger, which is about
to jump on the back and hit them. They submittant,

(01:27:45):
let us get on their back. They gorgeous animals.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
I don't think. I don't think a ban is going
to happen anytime soon. In twenty years time, I think. Yeah,
you're obviously involved in the industry.

Speaker 19 (01:27:58):
I know I'm an old retired timmer, but I love animals.
Good lord, if we're going to get to the stage,
well you know, it's as I've said, you may be
in the past. What are we going to do with
our little bobby cats? Oh you can't put that bobby
caps on the lorry a little pretty thing. But big guys,

(01:28:20):
we're going to slaughter it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Nice to talk, Thanks so much, Calvin Marcus. I agree
that horse racing should be a band along with greyhound racing.
Don't think will happen anytime soon. Sad thing about it
is all when all these animals are washed up and
not earning money for their owners, they are slaughtered. The
lucky ones may become kit pets fighting that dog food. Yeah, now,

(01:28:48):
I don't understand your text. Colin from McLean's Island could
be a good one. I'd like you to retry that.
Have a look at the text. Someone said, what a
silly man. Sounds like he's addicted to the tab to
polarize Ray past ten at twenty two past ten. By

(01:29:13):
the way, Mikey bebben will be along from midnight tonight, Marcus.
I support Benning horse racing. I'm disgusted Minister Hoggard is
resuming the barbaric live animal exports cos wasn't that terrible
that that ship that went down with all the animals on?

(01:29:35):
Regarding the Advent calendar, what is he doing opening the
windows before first of December? Well, yeah, I guess it
just arrived. It was a parrot that was nothing in it.
This is the guy that got the Gilmore Girls. Why
are people so into that? By the way, what's that watching?
I actually don't real want to watch the Gilmore Gores.
But I can't believe that there's a like what other teeth?
Is there a friends Edving calendar? I can't believe old

(01:29:57):
shows still have. It must be a big merchandising thing.
I can't think of any TV show I want the
Advent calendar? Four are there as a friend edvon calender?
Of course, there is Hello, Liz, this is Marcus. Welcome

(01:30:20):
to the show. Good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:30:23):
Do you realize there are more children in New Zealand
that are ill treated and malnourished and killed than race horses?
Race horses are well fed, well cared for, and maybe
banned whips, but there are more children in New Zealand

(01:30:45):
suffer worse fates than racehorses. It's all I've got to say.

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
We can't ban children.

Speaker 22 (01:30:54):
Well, you think about it, you might want to.

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
Reply to Liz. It's one of those three divided topics,
Isn't it just because something else bad happened doesn't mean
that something else You can judge that on. It's independently
on the damage or cruelty that exists within it text

(01:31:25):
if you want to. Someone says, after horse racing gets banned,
will athletes be next in the firing line? Which is
an interesting thing. She actually in her advertorial advertorial in
her opinion piece, she does answer that. So that's what's

(01:31:47):
quite well worked out because she answers most people's questions
about it. Finally, there's this one equine athletes are like
human athletes. Human athletes get injured too, which is exactly
your point these will be the people's talking points. This
is also disingenuous. Horses cannot opt outside a waiver or

(01:32:09):
willingly consent to be pushed beyond their limits. They have
no say in the matter at all. So it's very
different from athletes competing. But go if you want, if
you if you want to go read her opinion piece.
It's well written. It answers a lot of people's thoughts,
I would think. And yeah, it seems to be three

(01:32:31):
arguments to it. Good evening lovers, This is Marcus, welcome him, Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:32:36):
Gee, that was quick.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Them on and get them off.

Speaker 14 (01:32:41):
Yes, I was just replying to that, lady. I agree
with your wholehearted me. They're moaning about racing horses. Now
I raced a horse. I trained it from race a
horse race. Horses are looked after better than a lot
of children in this country. That's where they want to

(01:33:01):
be looking at the children, the children that die, the
children and that go after school with no food in
their stomachs, that's where they want to look. Do you
mind about the horses.

Speaker 3 (01:33:14):
I don't understand that argument that you say, just because
something else bad happens doesn't mean the other thing. We
allow the other thing to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
But you do allow the other thing to happen.

Speaker 7 (01:33:24):
Not you personally, but.

Speaker 14 (01:33:26):
They do allow the other thing to happen. You can
knock kids are in, you can kill kids.

Speaker 24 (01:33:30):
You'd only we.

Speaker 14 (01:33:31):
Get chat in this country. If you don't want to
come forward and talk about it, you get away with it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:37):
Okay, Lois, thank you for that. Twenty seven past ten,
get in touch if you want to shout out to
Stuart Island. Yeah, good on you. And the small verbal
broadcast I've heard between our leader and Trump. That's here
was what he mentioned. Oh I don't understand that anyway,

(01:34:05):
Do get in you want to talk Ken til twelve
o'clock tonight, twenty eight past ten, dud advent calendars and
pubs and Palmers to North and a bit of other
topic coming through tonight. That's all good. Do you think
it's shocking that pub was allowed to exist in Pavest
North in that shocking condition for seventeen years? I'm surely

(01:34:26):
that lease should have demolished it. And fifty cents to
get a soupermarket trolley at kmart now and not to
do a who buys so much stuff at kmart. They'd
need a trolley, because what do you get occasionally a
t shirt for one of the kids. Is that what
you get. I've never had a trolley at Kmart. I
loathe the place so much. Tat Halloween, tat and everything.

(01:34:53):
People just kind of rummage through and fling everything around.
No pride in the shop. I don't know why I
struggle with Kmart. I'll think about that. I don't mind
the warehouse. Even though they did that silly thing about
the fireworks, Well it wasn't silly.

Speaker 9 (01:35:14):
It was just.

Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
Disingenuous. I think is the word text if you can.
By the way, there was no I think we've covered
the car incidence today, but there was great great South
Road was closed. I presume that has now been reopened.
I'll check on that. If you want to email Marcus

(01:35:37):
at newstalk zb dot co dot indeed, if you want
to text nine to nine two oh now someone has
asked me why by the texting you never read mine out?

(01:35:58):
What are the stats? How many texts do you get
to night visits? How many actually acknowledge on average? Serious questions?
Suggestions have a live screen where people can see texts
that they come like any other platform. Study I've asked
and suggested for that. I haven't seen that. You've texted
me before, you've texted Terry, you've texted Heather. You've seen

(01:36:18):
a text at nine p forty three in the morning.
So I can't see any text of rules that I
haven't read out. I've read on every text as I should,
but there must be texts that you've sent through on
the old texting machine, so I can't go back and
check those. Oh yeah, can you give us an update
on the fits fabulous memories of drinking there as a

(01:36:39):
student many years ago. Well, the fire is under control.
I presume tomorrow they'll be demolishing it, and the school
next door is closed. But yeah, and I presume it
was delivery lets. I haven't got many more updates. They
did ask for people before to close their doors and windows.

(01:37:00):
I don't know that's still the case. So, yes, you're
a snob. Nothing wrong with Kmart, A lot better than
the warehouse. Well, I wouldn't say I'm a snob. I
would say probably No, you're the snob. If you think
Kmart's better than the warehouse, that's the snobbery, because you've
taken one above the other. I don't really want to

(01:37:23):
get into a battle of department stores. However, I would
probably say that I've always thought the Kmart would sell
stuff that appears to be more useful and less cynical
than the Kmart stuff. Someone says, you never read out
my text's churlish, prick. So that's interesting, isn't it. And

(01:37:48):
we'll see what the other texts say any meaningful change.
When he comes through violent revolution, status quo is and
working try something different and animal writes uber aalis, there
we go. That's what we've got on hand at the moment. Ah,

(01:38:09):
and do get in touch with you on to be
on air. Marcus till twelve warehouses better Marcus came out
cheap ossie rubbish. Yep. That's why I can't understand why
it seems to be the warehouse is the one that
seems to be having the financial troubles. Maybe that's just
all about things out of their control, like buying Torpedo

(01:38:30):
seven and strange stuff. But yeah, I would say that
in terms of when you need those certain things that
you've got to buy, the warehouse tends to have them,
and lego and stuff they send. They have better range
for kids stuff. I think and better clothes for kids.
I'd say not all just in a pile on the floor.

(01:38:51):
And I think always find the staff at the warehouse
very good. When you don't really see the staff that
came out, they're just hanging out those central things with
whether that depressing giant bucket for coat hangers, which I've
never really understood any ho twenty six to eleven, let's

(01:39:12):
hear you read that text out? What text that one?
We've got all the texts. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah,
fair enough. I can't read that one because I think
that's probably legally contentious. But you'll understand that. I think

(01:39:32):
it's why I asked me to read it out. Twenty
six to eleven. Here till midnight, Oha, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty twenty three away from eleven, Mikey bebben along
at twelve, Homer, Kayla, this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Oh good, thanks, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Thank you?

Speaker 24 (01:39:53):
Oh God? Do you know that the horse and hounds
are actually for the cause of movement of the years.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
The horse and hounds are what's so come.

Speaker 24 (01:40:02):
Again, because and movement of the is to keep the
clouds at bay in those pockets that they know that
they have to fill.

Speaker 3 (01:40:16):
It's very complex, too complex for me.

Speaker 24 (01:40:20):
Well, it's true. I've had a race horse and trained
them and did well. Then I went to boarding school
and I'll go back into it at any time. And
people like Bart Cummings in Australia and all our ones here,

(01:40:43):
we're all in touch out to America and they've got
hounds and horses and we should too.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
Could you take your horse to boarding school? Some boarding
schools you can, yes.

Speaker 24 (01:40:55):
Well, tish Makers just shut down as I was entering
high school.

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
Could you time and time me up to take your
horse there to tash Maker. It's a great thing to do,
was it. I know there's a horse. I think in
Cambridge you're in the white you can take your horse?

Speaker 12 (01:41:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:41:13):
Oh another one.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
Yeah, But that's the thing. Nice to hear from you
in Michayla. But yeah, I'm not not with the other
stuff about I didn't understand that, but thank you. Twenty
two to eleven be a part of it. Eight hundred
and eighty, ten eighty and nineteen nine to detext Marcus.
Why have measles become a thing? We all had measles

(01:41:36):
as kids. I'm sixty nine, and we were kids. Our
mum just want us to get in and get it
over and done with. I recall my mother telling me
that to lie in the darkest my eyes would be sore.
But they went saw and I couldn't understand why I
needed to lie in a dark room.

Speaker 19 (01:41:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
I've been quite a bit of reading about that, about
the measles, and it's my understanding that a lot of
people thought it wasn't a bad thing, it would go away.
They were referring to German measles. That's my understanding. I
was reading an article we scid about a medical guy
in Texas whose family who had chosen not to get
him and his family all got measles and they were

(01:42:11):
they were all on the hospital. It was it was
a harrowing It seems to be a harrowing illness and
not one that you just kind of get over within
a couple of days of discomfort. That's my understanding. I
think probably a lot of the misinformation, this is my
understanding of it, is the confusion between German measles and measles. Yeah,

(01:42:35):
but you might want to say, well, anyway, so it's here,
and I think you need a vaccination rate about ninety
five percent for it to be effective, because every one
person affects twenty so you need to break that change.
And I think it's we've got to. I mean, I
sayed to rate about eighty five percent. So it will spread,
not as quickly as it could, but certainly will spread,

(01:42:56):
and it will spread around the community, probably for a
long time. Careful, Marcus, you said any who wasn't that
someone's pet peeve last night? Yeah, that's right. And what
I didn't say when I started the show, I didn't
say it's Thursday, thirty October twenty twenty five because I
thought a lot about that. Today one person's pet peeve
was saying the whole year like it's a four digit number.

(01:43:19):
How utterly arrogant Evandrew Hoggard wanting to reinstate live exporting,
especially after it took years for the public to see
it abolished. The KFC hack is ten for twenty dollars,
not twenty fift What is the KFC hack? Benally, someone
calling me a snob because I liked the warehouse, you snob?

Speaker 16 (01:43:44):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
That hurt would not saying like Cocoli's and stains or
I swear the Rubby department stores yet to compare it
to You're a fine snob nineteen to eleven.

Speaker 10 (01:44:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
Look, I don't understand Machaylus. I apologize for that because
that Yeah, I tried, but I hadn't no idea what
she was saying. We live and we learn. In this case,
we live, we don't learn. But yeah, it's good to
know that people are still passionate for both sides of
the horse racing argument. And that's fine. People are able

(01:44:28):
to express what they think about that, and you might
want to go and read the opinion piece in the press.
That's really all I need to say about that. But
I think as soon as they banned the dogs for cruelty,

(01:44:51):
they open themselves to further pressure from animal rights groups
wanting to ban horse racing because of the cruelty. Because
it feels as though they listen to the pressure groups
for the dogs, but they won't listen for the horses.
They've completely opened themselves up that although I don't know
anywhere in the world that is betting, horse racing and

(01:45:13):
certainly dog racing seem to fall out of favor all
around the world, and the only places where it still
exists will be Australia and maybe Ireland. I think last
time we talked about that that were the cut they
were the countries where they still have it. I think
there might be two remaining places. In America they used

(01:45:36):
to have hundreds of dog racing tracks. Think it's down
to two now, So yes, it has it is a
thing that's fallen. Marcus popped into Kmart for a large
coffee mug from an evening, hot chocolate, only four bucks, perfect,
no snobbery involved. So that's what we're on about. If

(01:46:01):
you want to talk, feel free to come through eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine looking forward to what
you've got to say. Anything else, feel free to get involved.
So yeah, and Mikey Long from twelve brilliant horse racing

(01:46:23):
of all things and edvent calendars and kindles. Barry, this
is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 2 (01:46:32):
Here you go, good Barry.

Speaker 16 (01:46:35):
It's amazing how people have a lot of opinion on
how to, you know, look after animals and all this
stuff in life, but when it comes to people and
like babies and all the rest of that, lady said
Lois or whatever, no one wants to really address that.
Yet they want to address this other stuff. It's not

(01:46:57):
that important. Rarely animals or their animals versus humans. What
what actually is the most important?

Speaker 3 (01:47:08):
But yeah, look, look Berry, I don't know what you're
saying around that. I think probably all sorts of agencies
try extraordinarily hard with child safety. And yeah, I don't
think it's fair to say that no one cares about that.
People's hearts are broken about some of the things that

(01:47:29):
go on. So I don't think you can say. I
don't think you can generally ring up and say that.
I think that I will challenge you on.

Speaker 16 (01:47:35):
That, Well, challenge me on that, because it seems to
be that we'll focus on something that's an animal that
keeps us alive as a human, but yet as a
human we don't want to address the real problems with that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
Right, No, I don't agree with that, Barry Well.

Speaker 16 (01:47:53):
In what way? Why don't you agree with that?

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
Because any abuse against children?

Speaker 16 (01:47:59):
Right, I didn't say abuse them. I'm saying that we
are focused on the fact that a fan an animal
is used for racing or whatever. We shouldn't do that.
But yet that gets limelight over the fact that the
way you treat people or kids or whatever, it doesn't

(01:48:20):
So it seems that you know, an animal is an animal.
We're a human, we're above that in a in the chain,
So should be not more focus on the fact that
humans need more looking after than the fact that animals do.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
No, I don't understand. I mean, there aren't children racing
for gambling or stuff like that.

Speaker 16 (01:48:47):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
I don't. I think that's a really ineffective analogy. And
I can't work out what you want what people want
to gain from it?

Speaker 16 (01:48:55):
What do you mean you can't work out what people
want to gain from it from.

Speaker 3 (01:48:59):
Using that analogy. I think we can talk about the
industry of horse racing and dog racing and look at
it and look at their merit and work out.

Speaker 16 (01:49:08):
What they it's the entertainment.

Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
It's gambling, I'd say, rather than entertainment, it's about gambling.

Speaker 16 (01:49:17):
Whoa like I said, as people, which are humans, we
should be looking after us the most. But yet you're
going to focus on.

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
Very I think most people can focus on more than
one thing. I don't think people are so focused on
horse racing they can't focus on children welfare issues. I
think most of us in this world are able to
have complex opinions on a number of different things. It's
not all focus on one and not focus on the other.
That's not how we operate. Unless we are stupid. Most

(01:49:53):
people are able to able to maintain a number of
opinions on a number of different things. It's not like
we're just focusing on one instead of the other. People
don't work like that. It's just I just a affective
argument building. Oh, well, we should let horse racing continue
because we trick kids badly. I just think it's they're
not they're unrelated.

Speaker 16 (01:50:17):
Yeah, But like the lady said, the horses that are
in the horse racing and get looked after better than kids.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
Right, No, I don't think so.

Speaker 16 (01:50:24):
No, no, no, she said that. She says that I
getting looked after way better than what kids would be
looked after. That parents have kids, but yet don't look
after them that well. But a person has a horse
racing horse, but they put them in a in an area,
they feed them well, they train them well, they look
after them while they race them. That's the bad, but

(01:50:46):
the racing, but the but that's looking after them leading towards.

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
The don't I don't think. I don't think it's just that.
I think it's the use of the I mean if
if you read have you read the woman's opinion piece?

Speaker 16 (01:51:00):
No, you know what, I don't read anything. I just
look at it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:03):
The Barry, I think you've said it all. Thank you.
Seven away from eleven Hittel Midnight Mikey beban loong from
twelve lines. Free if you want to come through, feel free.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine two to text. For those that want to know
what news is happening out and about, I can tell
you too. There is a copper outage, the copper cable

(01:51:27):
outage north of Auckland. This is chorus. We're talking pooh
hoy will walk with Welsford. Those areas that will not
be resolved until tomorrow. The other thing, too, is the
fitz Herbert Pub in Palmeston North is on fire. The
update of that, let me just think we're gonna get

(01:51:49):
that update. Crews have that. This came through at eight
point thirty nine, two hours ago. The crews have the
fire under control and are starting to extinguish hot spots.
Give you a missioner has order to help demolish parts
of the building. The process will be ongoing into the

(01:52:09):
evening and the situation with that is the school next
door is closed because of asbestos, so that I'll get
you all the information for that also if I can
find that, I don't know where I've got that information,
but yeah, if you've got some more information people. By

(01:52:31):
the way, people and Palms North's got that text Alerte,
which I don't have a problem with people getting a
text it for fires, there are bad particles in the smoke.
They were told to close windows and turn off air conditioning,
which speaks the question why would a building to be
allowed to sit and disrepair if it's got asbestus on it.
I imagine that would have been under demolition or it
wouldn't that have been the right thing to do, So

(01:52:54):
you might want to mention that also too. I can't
work out why a pub that seems so incredibly successful
wuld close down. Maybe the students got their own campus
bar or something. But do get in touch if you
want to be on air. Ye as I say, eight
hundred and eighty to eighty nine texts, I think that's
most of the news you need for tonight. If there
is news, I'll bring that to you. International news. I'll

(01:53:18):
tell you what we haven't read much about the cyclone.
So I don't know what's happened with Jamaica and Cuba.
I've kind of been away from the news today, and
there's a there is an agreement between Trump and the
Chinese leader, a rare earth deal and tariff cut, so

(01:53:44):
I guess that I don't know what that will mean.
That seems to be happening as we speak, So I
guess that could be good for the world economy until
he changes his mind. China had recently announced a ban
on rare earth exports if there was any chance of

(01:54:07):
the products having a dual use for mock foreign militaries
or sub semiconductor sectors, and since they control all of
the mining and processing of rare earth, just about that
was the deal breaker. Yep. And tariffs has been eased
slightly by real action on fentanyl. It was twenty percent

(01:54:32):
and now it's down to ten percent. Yep. And the
Chinese leader is going to go to Florida to see
Trump there, so yep, let's all go. That's what's happened.
A lot of talk about Ukraine, but not much talk
about Taiwan. Keep him busy, old Trump, and anyway, do

(01:54:54):
get in touch on talk on eight htects Hettel twelve
if you want to be a part of it. Marcus
searching paper past the naming of Measley Beach gives a
harrowing account of the disastrous transmission of measles in the

(01:55:15):
eighteen hundreds. I've never heard of Measley's Beach, but I
look that up now. Someone says, God bless you, Barry
nicely pot Measley Beach. I'll look into that and talk.
Give us a call. You got to talk after the news.
But yeah, any modern accounts I've had of read of
people with measles these days, it seems to be a

(01:55:37):
fairy kind of a and quite a bit of hospitalization
required with it. So yeah, I think, Oh, just south
of Dunedin for Measley Beach below talku mouth. Never heard
of that, So there we go.
