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 a seven.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
My name is Marcus. I feel like I'm one of
the few people that's not on holiday at the moment.
So yeah, everyone seems to be away, so that's good
for them, I guess, so yeah, I'll be here. Ha ha.
Well that's been a phitty good day with the kids
on school holidays, first out of school holidays today, and
the weather's been good down south, so that's fun. So yeah,
so she's loose tonight. Feel free. There might be something
you want to talk about tonight. I don't know what
that is. Actually, sometimes I've got a good idea what

(00:36):
we can talk about. Sometimes I'm a little bit all
over the show. Tonight might be the latter. I don't
entirely know when you want what's going to resonate with you,
but we've got to be a part of the show.
Feel free to come through. Oh that's what I was
looking at. Actually, they have talked about the motorway, the motorway,
Auckland's motorway. So the motorway right, Auckland's modorway. It's now

(01:02):
going to be continued to Pierre Eddi, which means that
it will go all the way from walk With right
down to halfway between Tito and south of Hamilton Cambridge.
So it's a long long way now, isn't it. You
can almost drive the well, you can almost drive halfway

(01:23):
to Hamilton, half way to Topor on the motorway. That
happened quite quick, didn't it. So for a long time
Walkand's motorway and you enter just before the Bombay Hills
was like that forever and then very recently it's growing
like Topsy and they've an out today. It's going to
go past the Cambridge interchange all the way to Peerdio.

(01:43):
I don't know where I where do I see that?

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (01:45):
To me?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
And I see that somewhere? Oh no, it's a good
it's good thing. So that's happening the motorway. I don't
know if you are in the Rhades, but what I
imagine that will do. It'll probably make the main trunk
light well, the main state highway shorter consents been granted.
It's of course that part's called the Wakato Expressway. But yeah,
she's going all the way from Cambridge to Pianny although

(02:08):
it doesn't go through Cambridge, it goes beside Cambridge, there
will be Deastern excess for children. Bruce, this is Marcus.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Welcome, Good day mate.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
How are you going good, Bruce? Yeah, I was just saying,
how you talking about school holidays. I think it's it's
so great with the traffic, they're just well where I am,
it just there's no cars on the road at the moment.
That's just that's just a quiet time of year. I

(02:39):
think everybody, a lot of people will be taking a
bit of leave right now. Their kids are probably you know,
at home playing PlayStation or or playing outside, going to
the park, all that kind of thing. And I think
it's a sort of a precursor until the silly season
starts up, you know, November December, when you get towards Christmas.

(03:02):
And yeah, I think it's a good time of year.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well, people like it if the traffic's easier. I thought
you're going to say for a second that the kids
should never go to school because it's wrecking the traffic.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Well, it's just yeah, it just seems a lot quieter,
it does, really where I am. Yeah, it's a lot quieter,
less cars on the road, and yeah, I think I
think it's due to a lot of people probably saying
a bit of time off work.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I think it probably wasn't I think probably the school
term traffic was not a big deal until parents started
helicoptering and the children stopped cycling the school and parents
started ferrying them around. I'm sure that's a huge about
because I mean, there's no reason really that parents should
be dropping the kids off at school.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
Well, I mean I do. I grew up in the
nineties and it was a little I went to school
in the nineties, a little bit different back then. But
I would rather drop my kids off to school these days, don't.
I don't really trust them walking to school by themselves.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
And what do you think's going to thing's going to happen?

Speaker 6 (04:08):
I just don't. I just think it's different now. I
you know, twenty or twenty thirty years ago, when I
went to school, it was just different.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
But what's your fearbites? Well, because I think they think.
I think they've they've decided how strange A dangerous pretty
much a myth.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Yeah, but there's a lot of crazy. There's a lot
of crazy.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't think there are m I think probably in
the past it was a lot worse. There aren't many
abductions of unknown children happens very very rarely.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yeah, I'm not talking about that. I live in a
a not so. I live in a bit of a
ghetto kind of neighborhood. The kids go to a load
diside school. There's a lot of sort of shady characters around,
and and I'd just rather dis drop.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
What do you think is going to happen to them?
Not the shady characters, but to your kids.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Just it's basically just you get a lot of ref
referee ind where I live a lot of it's a
bit of a malby area, And yeah, I just I
just rather they're a primary school because.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, yeah, because I guess if everyone tries to dropping
off the kids and there's no kids on the road,
so no one's walking, so the whole streets feel a
bit more dessooted, don't they. But I would have say, yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah, I just thought, I just think it's quite a
quiet time.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
You know, when the.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
School holidays here, your kids got bikes or scooters, scooters
scooters you and.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
They won't the school themselves.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Well, I've got triplets, I've got three triplets, and I've
got another.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
What a gift.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Yeah, I'd just rather drop them off.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
The triplet triplets. I'm not saying ordinary kids aren't precious,
but triplets, man, God, what I go for triplets?

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
It was a bit of a shock when I when
when she rang me and said she went for a skin,
And she said are you on your work break? And
I said, oh, no, you talk to me.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
She did.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
Oh there's three that is three? What this is three babies?

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Believe it?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
How old are they?

Speaker 6 (06:34):
They'll be turning ten on December the twenty fourth, So Christmas.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
You're still dressing them the same?

Speaker 6 (06:41):
No, there are two boys and a girl and they're
not they're not identical.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's right, but still be cute.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
Yeah, but I'll decide i'd rather.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm I'm hearing you, Bruce. Yeah, No, fear enough to
what a fitting past day? Keep it, keep it going
on to talk in the motorway. I mean, I don't
where I suppose it's gonna go all the way to Wellington?
Is it cheap? Kind of grew before me, but there
they go all the way from walk with the pier
Eddy all well. Soon once it's built also to holiday

(07:11):
traffic and kids walking to skill. Chuck that in the
mix also, if that's something you want to talk about.
There are a lot of discussion today about what should
and shouldn't go into the dishwasher. I've got a lot
to say about this. There's one thing that shouldn't go
in the dishwasher. It is Chinese. I shouldn't say that
is takeaway containers. That's what I believe because there what

(07:33):
happens with takeaway containers, right, that's your bottom and your lids,
the plastic from takeaway containers. If you had to wash
them before you put them in recycling, what happens is
the pressure flips them over and then when you open
the dishwasher, they're full of water and it'll often spill
on you. That's my golden rule for the dishwasher. They
don't belong in there. Crocs, well, that's debatable. Wooden stuff

(07:58):
no good, splits it, heats it up, warps. That's my
advice to you on that one. Well, that's the great
discussion that's happening again. The de's and don't of dishwashers.
I reckon they're all for dishwashers. Most stuff, almost anything
can go on the dishwasher until it can't. And that's
your lesson. So get in touch. You want to join
the discussion tonight Headle twelve oh way one hundred and

(08:20):
eighty eight Here for your people. Fifteen past eight. It's
all on. It is school holidays. I hope you're enjoying
it so far. Hope the weather has been good for you.
Mike is just back from India. Thought I would let
you know you no longer need to leave the airport
to save money. Caught the bus to and from for

(08:42):
four dollars each way. Now where are you talking about?
Are you talking about from in India or in New Zealand?
Greetings anyway, get in touch if you want to talk
se sports, talk a lot of people furious about the

(09:03):
black ferns. Anyway, get in touch you want to talk.
Oh eight hundred and eighty todaighty and nineteen nine two
de text. Welcome if you want to come through. Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
two de text beautiful, be a part of it. Sixteen

(09:24):
past eight. Someone's in an extra extension to the Wakato
Expressway means even more heavy trucks down Pope Street. Bad
for the album mate. Yeah, I worried about that guy.
That was the guy last week about the heavy trucks
going on his road. The council means to tell him
that though aren't doing anything illegally. Aye, he's right. There's

(09:44):
a bus from Auckland's airport to Punoy station then from
then and gets the train of the city.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Still it every time I'm in Auckland, works free quickly,
you're in town in a half an hour. It's great.
I still thought they're talking about in India. He's actually talking
about in christ Juts too. In It's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
Hi, Hi, Marcus moment old film the eight And I
just remember I used to be involved in the orange
industry in Tariga and there was a time when when
they decided that they're going to get the orange juice
from Brazil concentrated to make the juice in New Zealand,

(10:25):
and so they cut down all the orange trees in Tarraga.
Industry just collapsed and it cures what happened. Then the
people in Brazil put the price up. Now that's exactly
what's happening again. It was the peach tree seeing in
Bok's Bay. Because I reckon. As soon as they put
they chop the peach trees out, they reckon, because it'll

(10:47):
be cheaper to get the peaches from overseas, so they say,
But as soon as we get rid of our peach trees,
they put the price up.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
So you know, I think we're getting peaches from South
Africa and from China, and they reckon. China are dumping
the supers on us. They're getting two men and they've
undercut the price.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Yeah, but only temporary when you get rid of their trees.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
I reckon. People are eating a lot less tin fruit,
though it doesn't seem to be the big deal at once.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
Was.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
It's too sweet, too.

Speaker 9 (11:22):
Sweet, and it's got plastic lining in it too.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, that's bad those tins. My mother always went on
about that plastic lining in the tins.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
Yeah. Anyway, it's just an idea. And I want to
see what evans. I be too old.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
That orange pulp juice and ported the orange juice is
not nice now. I mean, when you get freshly squeezed
orange juice is something quite different tasting about, isn't there evenly?

Speaker 9 (11:50):
But of course it's not not available now the all
the big country big companies the concentrated comes over frozen.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
It doesn't taste good at all.

Speaker 9 (12:05):
No, it's a different taste here anyway. It's just what
we do see things. Then.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, oh, are you taking care of yourself? Being nice
to talk to you? Twenty two past eight Get in
touch Oha eight one hundred and eighty ten nine nine
to text, welcome to it. Do you want to be
a part of the show. Get in touch here till twelve.
Be a part of it. Whatever you got to talk about.

(12:32):
Dishwashers are dos and don'ts of dishwashers. This motorway going
all the way from Welsford or walk With it's a
long way. Now, quite excited about this. I've never I've
never really been a road person. When I'm looking at
thought that it's a long way. You can ravel drive now.
So if you want to go to from fun Arda
to top Or, it's going to be a much quicker trip,
isn't it Because half of you're going to be in
the motorway. The car is almost going to be an

(12:53):
auto pilot. Keep your data from news around the world
tonight too, as I'm here for you. If anything happens,
you'll find out about it. Here because I'm all about
world news and this time of the night. But do
get in touch. But dishwashers and motorways also, and by
the way too, I can tell you that this weekend

(13:16):
is a two hundred anniversary of passenger rail. Yeah, I
think that's what we're commemorating or celebrating, just so you know.
In fact two d I think it might be two
years of rail because it was this day that the
Stockton and Darlington Railway two hundred years ago, the first

(13:40):
public railway to use well, the first public railway to
use steam locomotives opened, I suppose. And previously there was
probably horse drawn railways would there be, and there might
have been some rails down mines, but this is seen
as the kind of the this is the original. Yep,

(14:05):
that's happened. So yeah, get in touch. You want to
be on their twenty four past eight anything else you
want to bang on about tonight? Rugby league was good,
wasn't it? Wow? So what's that with the final four?
We've got a team that was second and the team
that was fourth, and the team that was fifth and
the team that was seventh in the semis. That's weird, ay, Hey, you, Marcus.

(14:27):
School Holidays was equals less traffic on State Highway sixteen
the west coast and the west and south of Central Auckland.
All the nine to fives will be happy. Current generation
of parents are too precious. That's why the kids aren't
walking biking to school, especially the ones who lived less
of the kilometer from the school. Lastly, all the angry
peeps hating on the black friends and abies, let it go.

(14:48):
You win some, you lose some. That's life and that's sport, becks.
I didn't think we'd be upset about the women losing
because I thought they were did well to win it
last time. I thought they played well. I thought that
young woman's incredible, so you I've got no worries about that.
And I watched them, but of the Formula one line
last night too, three narrow corner when they come into

(15:09):
those buildings. Surprised about that. I watched about forty minutes.
It's not really my it's not really my thing to watch.
I watched at the two Mercedes Strivers will trying to
overtake lev laws and then clearly they did so I
woke up and then he was fifth. But yet be
a part of it if you want to talk head
on midnight.

Speaker 10 (15:32):
Now.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Someone says, what a damn stupid what a dumb stupid ad.
Spark closed the Harbor Bridge of four and a half
hours of the morning two Sundays ago for stupid ad.
That closure, of course mayhem for the flea market traffic two.
I thought the ad was fantastic. I saw it today
the first time. This is the ad when the cast
splits in half. Well shot, well acted, well cast. I

(15:56):
thought it was great and I'm team Spark. Oh that
was a brilliant ad. I'm not going one to watch
the ads. It was just watching some show. Forget what
was it might have been. It might have been Survivor
Australia versus the World, but there it was. Oh look
at this kid's thought. It was brilliant. Twenty six past eight.

(16:19):
If anyone's got an outstanding your bed weather to tell
me about, I'm pretty interested that also tonight, welcome, Welcome, Welcome,
Get in touch eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine nine two to text, Yeah, what about that? And
what about The Herald tried to get the correspondence from
Christopher Luxen, with the people saying that passed on the
message about the wedding to oh Taylor Swift and her

(16:42):
fiance and no show it's private. We can't see it.
Jeepess the things people say get in touch any of
if you do't want to talk about that or anything else.
Tonight and dishwashers in the motorway going all the way?

(17:04):
What will happen to It's get shorter and shorter. State
in high one gets shorter and short every time there's
a new motorway because it's more direct. So being touch
you want to talk about that? Also? Tonight eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. Oh, we've got the old Daly
M's on today?

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I know that was on. I'll watch that my world's
slowest remote. Yes, So I've bothered to tune up to
work tonight despite everyone being on hold, even the bosses
are on holiday. That's right, everyone all gone. The whole
lot was something that I've heard of it about today
was the cruise ships too, So I don't know what
people think about that. Are you someone whose community is

(17:43):
going to be badly affected by less cruise ships? I
wouldn't mind knowing what people are going to say about that.
If it's a bad thing or a good thing. I
don't really know the answer to that. Bluff gets about
four or five. But they don't hang around Bluff. They
go to where they pack them up. I think they
take them to Queens. They take them to Milford Sound.
I've never seen any people. Oh, I tell you. I'll
tell you. There's one group right that'll go around Bluff. There's

(18:08):
one group old ling people and Patagonia tops. That's the
hardcore birders. Quite often they get burning to us coming
out of Bluff and big ships. They go down to
the Southern Alps or southern Ocean to see the plage
its or some sorts of birds, and there real kind
of go get a pensioners with their long cameras and

(18:28):
they wander around outside our place looking at the turns.
They love it. But they're self starters. They don't need
no coach to take them Milford Sound. They're out there
themselves with their notes and their cameras. Love the birders.
Any who welcome if you want to be a part
of the show. There's other stuff you want to talk
about tonight. By the way, I thought that stuff ed
was fretey good. I don't really know what it's about

(18:49):
a spark at. I mean when the car splits someone did.
Apparently kids sleep over birthday parties were thick of the
past because no parents trust each other. Nowadays, well, I
don't know if that's the experience with sleepovers. I think

(19:09):
people still have sleepovers. Our kids have been to sleepovers.
I reckon the reason parents don't like sleepovers is because
the kids don't sleep, and it means the next day
you've got zombie kids that have badly behaved. It's never
good because what they'll do is I'll stay up all night. Yeah,

(19:31):
and the next morning they're just neither use nor ornament.
So that's my there. I've got quite strong theories about sleepovers. Yeah,
they're not good for parents because the kids are Yeah,
kids are in a bad way the next day. That's
my thought and I'm sticking to that anyway. But as
I can see, the lines are free for I. I come
enjoyed the phrase, and I'd love to hear from you.

(19:51):
Dishwashers and motorways and sleepovers and kids not walking to school,
children not walking to school. I don't actually know why
they're not. I don't really know the facts about that,
but parents have probably become now suddenly too cautious? Is

(20:16):
it fair to say that? That's what I need to say,
which is kind of a weird thing to say. Guess
probably someone said no one could be too cautious, but
you really can if you're taking away the kid's joy
of walking to school. If it is joy. So yeah,
if you want to talk about that too, we'd like
nice to hear from you. Oh wait, tight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine to to text. Come on,

(20:39):
let's be hearing fre you something you want to talk
about tonight? She's all on get in touch. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty there's something different you want
to mention? All up for that. I don't know what
it is at the stage. I'm sure as the night
goes on we'll land on something. It just feels a
bit Bits and Bobby on the Monday. Yeah, oh gosh,

(21:02):
she's two undred and seventy four comments now about Luxen
not reviewsing to release the Swift Kelsey wedding communications. Yeah,
so one way said it if he wasn't prepared to
show us the texts anyway. I don't know what you

(21:31):
think of that. You might not think any ofthing of it,
but do feel free to be in touch if you
want to be part of it. By the way, it
is World chain mail Day and World ice cream cone Day. Yep,
when was the ice cream cone invented? Can't tell you
wouldn't mind knowing. Doesn't say in the article. It's a

(21:52):
choice when a waffle cone and a plane cone. For me,
it's the plane cone. So there we go. Many historians
who attribute the invention of the ice cream cone to
Otalo mccioni, an Italian immigrant who had moved to the
States the late eighteen hundreds. The cone was invented New
York City, first produced in eighteen ninety six, and patented

(22:14):
in nineteen oh three. However, a simmer inventure was credited
to Ernest A. Hamway from Syria, who introduced his waffle
pastry at the Saint Louis Fair in nineteen oh four.
Was sought to be sold as a pastry, but when
the ice cream shop next door ranted a dish, as
mister Harmway jumped and offered some assistance. By rolling one

(22:36):
of his wafers into cone, was able to solve the
neighboring business owners problems and contribute to something that would
eventually become an American icon. They originally known as corner copias,
not cones. I reckon what would have been invented more
would be the ice cream sliced with the two wafers,
because that was probably better by the way. Before the

(23:00):
before the Industrial Revolution, there was no such thing as
ice cream and cones because of refrigeration. But once that
came on, she's all on. Do you go heard it here? First?
Welcome people. Twenty three away from nine. Just bought my

(23:27):
first house in Welford, Welsford, banking on the motorway adding value.
I live in walk with at the moment and it's
been fantastic for traffic. I'll make my son walk to school.
Rain or shine builds character rip merv Smith twenty fourth
or September nine, twenty eighteen, Remember not that night? Well

(23:50):
on air that's seven years ago. Wow, good evening, Marcus.
How are you if you're doing a show about bad
TV ads? The service charge add is horrible when the
man drinks milk and eats her food. Dude, Ah, yeah,
but you know is it terrible? Is it so bad?

(24:12):
It gets the point to cross quite well, that's what
ads have got to do I missed the ads. We
hardly watch any free to wear TV or linear TV
I think you call it now. We don't watch it
at the time. So normally when you're watching it on
TV and dead plus, you're just getting ned at the start.
That's why I saw the Spark one, which I thought
was so very good, but getting jumping people. Come on,

(24:36):
just be hearing from you tonight. If there's something else
you want to go around with tonight, I don't know
what it is, but you know clearly I don't have
to drag it out of you tonight because I just
got get that vibe from me. On the school holidays
and all the hosts away always the way, They're probably
off to a school holiday program, are they? I don't know,
but we are talking about the things. What have you

(24:58):
ruined with a dishwasher? I put the kids Leathermon's and
the dishwasher, and that rusted them. I thought was poor.
I don't know what it was that did that. What
else if I ruined in the dishwasher? Can't think, but
you will know you'll have done something that you had
some great dishwasher lessons, And I'm there for that people.

(25:22):
And a new survey of the average Britain. The average
person in Britain has found they can only read for
fourteen minutes before they lose concentration. That's what scrolling's done
to us. Fourteen minutes before we can stop reading. Well
that's British people would be the same. Yeah, so it's rare.

(25:43):
And apparently in the UK you can't watch TV for
fourteen minutes of fifteen minutes rather before people get distracted.
I reckon, we'll read the same here twenty one away
from nine.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
By the way, if anyone went to the Monster Trucks
that was in Dunedin for Soyth, Barret's moving up the countries,
going to Auckland next week of Willington then Auckland, let
us know what that was like. That's the first time
that's those giant trucks. Or it's hot wheels, so it's yeah,
it's hot wheels. So they do the loops and stuff,
so it's like the hot wheels with those plastic tracks,
but they do it in real life. If you went

(26:20):
to that, I'd be pretty keen to know what it
was like. Did the kids love it? Did you love it?
I think there was a crash, so if you're part
of that. What was it?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Like?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Good or bad? I think there's two one thousand people
going to set or something like that. It's a big deal.
The monster trucks or the hot wheels. I can't even
see the article of it. Where's that on the oddity?

Speaker 11 (26:45):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:45):
There it is, paywalled seventeen away from nine eight hundreds,

Marcus Brody, Welcome, Hey Macus.

Speaker 12 (27:29):
I was going, hey, I am about to cookie Snitchel,
and it.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Just reminds me of Sitzel Thursday time. Yeah, Thursday was
a Thursday or Tuesday? Then what night we do Thursday?
I think it's a Thursday.

Speaker 12 (27:43):
Yep, Yeah, it's definitely Spincil Thursday for sure.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Okay, good, good membering.

Speaker 12 (27:48):
So now I just want to flash back and maybe
what were the hot trips we could take away from
the dish and it will cook.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 12 (27:56):
Like I understooding, I've got it prepared, got my pants.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
There was what were the hot tips?

Speaker 12 (28:02):
There were many techniques I believe there were and thought
the pan hot as get it going and then turn
it off and then check the snitchell and performance. I
remember that guy turn it on, turn it off, check
it in. Is that method?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
And what I liked about the people is there so
elemant on there? Have you pounded it?

Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yeah? This looks freshly pounded?

Speaker 11 (28:30):
Actually yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Can't remember, Dan. Do you know any of the techniques.

Speaker 12 (28:33):
Were the someone did know?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
There was a chicken I think I think most someone
did that chicken one? They really how did they beat
it so hard?

Speaker 12 (28:44):
And I remember then saying that they got breast and
fill itted them real finally, and then I think they
then Dave said breast the pounding.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, it's just a lot of saying that. I think
a lot of oil seemed to be Did they say
a lot of oil? Is it something they said?

Speaker 12 (29:05):
Yeah? Maybe, yeah, that's very good call. Was there were.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Specific double crumb I think they said did they say
double crumb?

Speaker 12 (29:15):
Crumb? It on the beef or the were talking veal.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, and I
think they weren't keen on veal.

Speaker 13 (29:22):
Yah.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
No, did they put it? Did they put it in
the fridge.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
The crumb?

Speaker 12 (29:30):
I think, oh yes, it might have been Actually yeah,
yeah yeah, post crumb STrenD of the fridge.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I think you put the crumbs on and then it
sticks better to it. It's better. I think you're refrigerator.
Was that something said Dan?

Speaker 12 (29:44):
Yeah, because someone someone fellow was getting a cut at
the butcher. They had a funky name for the machine
as well.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
This is the first time since then, since June, you've
hedged itself.

Speaker 12 (30:02):
Yes, actually, yeah, that's why I.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Wouldn't have I wouldn't have had it for that long either.

Speaker 14 (30:07):
Nah.

Speaker 12 (30:08):
Yeah, yeah. This wasn't a choice, you know, it was.
It happened upon me, not exactly, Snitchell.

Speaker 10 (30:16):
I was after.

Speaker 12 (30:19):
It was surprise, Snitchel.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
What's surprise, Nitzel.

Speaker 12 (30:26):
I mean they just came home.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
What was that mean?

Speaker 12 (30:33):
I was at home and then some Snitchel arrived?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Okay, where's yeah?

Speaker 13 (30:40):
Okay, it was.

Speaker 12 (30:42):
Given given to given to us, which is nice, very lovely,
gest year.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
But I mean I think did people say use penko
instead of breed crumbs or pancoa crumbs are quite good.

Speaker 12 (30:53):
I written, tanco is a good crumb.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's a great crumb.

Speaker 12 (30:57):
Yeah, but look we're more coarse.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think it's I think some people see our ear fryers.

Speaker 12 (31:03):
Too, And yeah, I actually I got I got beef,
I got Schnitzel with their rise.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Actually, yeah, well, I'll tell you what, Brod, if you
keep this thing, it's difficult. Has anyone remember from the
Bridge the Snitchell Show what the hot techniques works.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
If anyone knows about that. That would be good for Brody.
Love the name Brody. Good evening, the cruise boats do
well a Napiers with the deco city and the gannets.
I'd on let my children walk to school because there
are too many homeless people around. Love listening to you.
Amy Mircus grew up with ice cream sliced the box
of teen for Muminus nine kids, and an ice cream

(31:42):
and a cone for dad as we traveled during the holidays. Goodness,
it's all happening. Well, it's actually not all happening. Schnitz Schitzel, Schnitzel.
I made a song about Schnitzel. Yeah, I can't remember
the con tent. We need to formulate the ten. I'm

(32:04):
not saying we should ever repeat of this Thursday. It
would be good to know if we could do the
ten commandments of Schnitzel just today to remind Brody. I
think they'd be important. Egg Yolk before crumbing, they say, Marcus.
When treddling through the US, I ordered chicken fried steak
and Kansas just to find out it is just crumb

(32:26):
schnitzel schnitty, as they call in Australia. Suzanne, this is Marcus.
Welcome to you.

Speaker 14 (32:33):
Hi, Marcus, Hey.

Speaker 15 (32:35):
I just like, I'm curious about your own opinion about
the cruise industry. But I'd like to kind of go,
what has the cruise industry brought to New Zealand. There's
all of these like you know, big international lines and
things like that, and you know, they just spell thousands

(32:58):
of people into like sometimes very small places like a
Carroll Care.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I think I think the locals are over them.

Speaker 15 (33:09):
Oh well, some of the people in that community would go, oh, like,
you know, we're struggling now because we don't have them.
But like I'm just aweb over the whole cruise industry.
I mean, we've had numerous, numerous friends who have gone

(33:31):
off to Europe this year and they're doing the Mediterranean,
they might be doing river cruises. What do they actually
bring to the local community when they're over there, apart
from you know, you get all of these like hawkers
and what have you set up around where the boats

(33:52):
come in, like authenticity of the destination and stuff.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
So then I'm hearing and agreeing with you, and I
think that's what they bring is they bring? Yeah, as
it's And why were they going to Ecoroa? They called
it Techiro didn't They were they going there because the
littleton port was no longer was damaged because of the quake.
Is that what.

Speaker 14 (34:19):
I believe?

Speaker 15 (34:20):
So, and like at one stage, you know, and like
a COO is a tiny little community and to dispel
that number of people they need to come over the
hill to get to christ Church and yeah, so like that,
but even looking at a more global aspect of it,

(34:44):
you pretty much have thousands of sort of slow walking
zombies who you spend a lot of money on crap
memorabil here and then they go back to the ship
to dine before they sail large again. It doesn't seem
like an authentic travel experience.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
And I always was kind of stunned with every time
I've seen them Dunedin. I've always been stunned by how
unwell and immobile they all look.

Speaker 15 (35:19):
And watch for the ones in matching track suits.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
I don't on that, but I mean, and I worry
about these people have come to the stage of their
life that they have money to go and travel the world,
but they're really pretty well unable to walk. Yeah, and
that's heart to me. I see that. That's heartbreaking.

Speaker 15 (35:37):
I couldn't agree more with you, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's sort of but they're not talking about let's not
talking about the economica and I'm sure probably for towns
they don't bring much. Well maybe they do, but I
know that when they come they get discounts on most
of the facilities because the you know, there's deals done
with the ships and a lot of that money is
still going into the company that runs the ships AND's

(36:01):
going offshore. So yeah, I don't I don't know. I
don't necessarily think the need as good as actually people
coming to New Zealand on good holidays and staying in
proper places and spending money. I think probably we get
very little from them.

Speaker 15 (36:15):
I couldn't agree more, like, you know, if it goes
from nine hundred, which was in the news today down
to like you know, six hundred, like cruise stop for something.
I don't really think that we need to dilute insd

(36:36):
and for want of a better thing, then like to
discount for people like that.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
You said it nicely, Susan. Thank you, Diana. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (36:49):
Yeah, Marcus, I've done at least eleven twelve cruises and
I disagree with it.

Speaker 17 (36:55):
Lady.

Speaker 16 (36:55):
That was just on showing that the you know, all
elderly people that shuffle around in there, Diane.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
I think I said that.

Speaker 16 (37:04):
I said, oh well what if there and that? But
when I go to extra, I've done a cruise round
you know, New Zealand and that, and I get off
the ship and I have done my homework on what
I want to see and go and have a good
look round and might spend a few bob on a
souvenir somewhere and that. But I think cruising is great.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Does it do much for the economy though? When people
go to New Zealand, they because someone said the cruise ship,
I know, someone that does a craft market Knakaroa. And
the people on the cruise ship literally spend nothing.

Speaker 16 (37:43):
Yeah, well it just depends, you know, like I don't normally,
you know, go shopping, but you know some people can't
get off the ship quick enough to go and you know,
go through all the shops. But I like to, you know,
look at the scenery and take plenty of photos.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
And that most of your money spending on food and
alcohol and stuff on the ships, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (38:08):
Well, I don't spend money on an alcohol on the ships.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
But you're not paying for comedy, You're not paying for
any I mean, your whole holiday. Most of the money
is going to the company that's the cruise company, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (38:21):
Oh yeah, but you will get some people, you know,
spend up big, you know when they go to shore.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
I'm sure what would they do?

Speaker 16 (38:31):
Well, you know, there's especially around the Caribbean, there's lots
of places there we can spend big money if you
want to, and you know if you don't. But you know,
I shop when I'm at home, you know, if I
want something, but I wouldn't spend a full day going
in and out of shops.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Good on you. Thanks, Diane. Well, there's the head on
TV now for Spark with the casplits in half. It's
quite good. You don't haven't seen any high budget ads anymore.
Most of them look like they've been shot on cell
phones and probably have been. Have been, have been. I enjoyed, Suzanne,

(39:12):
I enjoyed. I enjoyed how both Suzanne and Diane both
pushed the button on their phone into a beat. Is
that right, Dan, those two of them, wasn't there?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:19):
She Susan came in right at the beginning with the
excitement of it.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
No.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
No.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Seven. If you've just joined us, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. We
are talking cruise ships what they do for communities. You know,
they're not coming as many there over the next few years.
They're going to drop right down that. I think it's
gone from nine hunt to six hundred. It'll go down further.
It's just not a place cruise ships want to come.
I think it's too expensive. I don't know why. I
guess that's when it comes to port fees and the light.

(39:47):
So yeah, so how bad how much of a loss
is if they're not coming to New Zeen? Is it?
And your communities? I've got some good texts. I'll come
to those before long. Thanks for hanging on their braid.
And this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (40:04):
Oh right, here's it going good.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Thanks Braden String.

Speaker 18 (40:08):
In terms of the loss two communities, I have to
completely disagree. I think it's a big loss. A couple
of examples that I have. I've lived in cross till
my life over uncle who lives in Totong room bif
for him and he owns it. Have you spent much

(40:29):
time in the mountain?

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, yeah, the public behalf a dozen times.

Speaker 8 (40:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (40:36):
So in the kind of main streets for all the
big beakers are at the roundabout where all the bars
and restaurants are, there's an Indian restaurant. Sure, he owns
the Indian restaurant. He's under it for about twenty five
thirty years and that is his biggest he went he's
gone from in the Totonga mount region. At one stage

(40:59):
ye had eight chops. He now just says the one.
And it is struggling. And the restaurant is definitely struggling
the most because post COVID the drop in cruise ships
has completely affected his business. Also, I have to say

(41:20):
the person two callers before I thought it was really critical.
I didn't quite understand. She kept kind of saying, what
does it do for the community, Well, they're spending money
in the community, which.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I think I think Bradon, I think Akioa has been
a really exaggerated example because it's a tiny remote community
and I don't know how many people would live there
be a couple of hundred, it'd be less than a thousand.

Speaker 18 (41:52):
I think it would be near one thousand.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Ships coming, all these ships coming with one hundred, you know,
with one thousand or two thousand people, I think it
just to swamped the town. And I guess Akioa requires
in bound tourists to come and come and for the quaint,
quiet village and study. They're coming and it's just all
these Yeah, So I can understand that I've sort of been.

Speaker 18 (42:17):
There to be honest, to be honest, because of the
first from my life, I know for a while, the
urban like the so the commercial kind of there's in
one spot, there's no housing there. It's kind of a
hit tack a little bit. So they wouldn't their housing
wouldn't be affected. It might get busy, it would only

(42:38):
be week in one week in day it would be busy,
and the and.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
The they just arrive and that they just come on
the weekend.

Speaker 18 (42:48):
Yeah, but the would only be coming once a week
techra okay, and also the.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Prom why are the only coming once a week?

Speaker 18 (43:01):
They were they always have. How many ships do you
think go to your weekly?

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I don't know. But the local have said it's chaos
because of the haphazard she scheduling of the ship's arriving.

Speaker 18 (43:12):
I mean to all the locals says chaos or is
it just some that are saying that it's chaos, because
you're always going to get people that will say, you know,
it's chaos.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
It's a zach a village. An owner who lives near
the wolf said, poor schedule, including multiple ship visits on
the same days eleven times this season. So that's multiple
ships visiting on the same day.

Speaker 18 (43:35):
How long is a season?

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Oh, I guess it's the summer. Is it?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
So?

Speaker 18 (43:40):
Eleven times over a summer that would be more than one.
There would be least than once a week, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
No, that's the number of days there's multiple ships on
the same day.

Speaker 18 (43:51):
Okay, yeah, yeah, they did not there would be there
once a week.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
No, that's not what it says, what it says. It
says there's multiple ships there on the same day.

Speaker 18 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's gotten a not there like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
it would be your weekend day and it would be
you know, it would be Yeah. I think it's an
over exaggeration a little bit. And you're still the employment
that it provides within the community.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 18 (44:26):
Yeah, Okay, if you wanted to live in what else
would you do? It's all cafes, restaurants, the whole employment base.
The supermarket would probably have to get smaller. It'd be
a lot of businesses that would shut down.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah, but I think they've been happy with that. The
way it works, I think it's a it's a town
that's actually that's really based themselves as a town for
cruise ships.

Speaker 18 (44:57):
Well, the people that work here, I don't think will
be very happy. How do you mean, Well, a few
work that said restaurants though, seed restaurant and bar, or
post office or little local store. You probably wouldn't be
there happy.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Well, they see most of the comments I have said,
have been people been pretty unhappy with that anyway, So
you're some of that thinks it's a bad thing, right.

Speaker 18 (45:23):
Yeah, I mean, like squeaky real, isn't it You always
going to hear complaints? Yeah, I just think I honestly
think it's expenditure within a community, isn't it. I mean, I'm.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
People say they don't spend much, that was the other thing.

Speaker 18 (45:42):
Well, I wouldn't. I don't believe that for a second.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Well that's what the texts have said, that most people
spend their money on the thing or when they're going
on trips, that's all been sold on board the cruise ship.
They're just buying trinkets.

Speaker 18 (45:55):
I think majority of money spent with enough all would
be ond like dining and eating and drinking. Yeah, I would,
I would agree with that. But you're still talking about
a lot of money you go to acorol. It's not
it's not normal prices, there's.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
No In the twenty nineteen season, there were ninety one
cruise ships between October and April locked. So that's seventh
that's ten a month. That's at least two that's two
to three a week.

Speaker 18 (46:24):
Yeah, okay, okay, two to two a week?

Speaker 8 (46:29):
Is it two to.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Three a week and some on multiple days, So it's
not just one. It's not just once a week.

Speaker 18 (46:33):
But I don't think multipour on one day really makes
a difference.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
No, but no, it's just to your point when you
said that there was just one on one on a weekend.
But yeah, we'll get some more comments on it, Braid.
And I appreciate you coming through fourteen past nine. Cruise
ship's good or bad if you want to come through
and talk about that, how they've affected your community. And
according to Wikipedia, akaroa maybe seven hundred. I did bring
that up in the middle of that discussion, seven hundred

(47:02):
and fifty six. Thanks for that, Marcus. On Saturday, I
found out about a special gravy for schnitzel. It's called
Maggie Classic pub style gravy. It says rich savory blend
fish schnitzel. We had three cruise ships are picked in
and it picked in. Sorry, we had three cruise ships

(47:23):
and it picked it. At one time, the village was swamped.
The local infrastructure was totally adequate for the thousands of visits.
Worse was the exhaust fumes, which are bad enough. With
the fairies that smogged up the hills and continued long
after their departure, breaking cats stuck up a tree in Harware.

(47:44):
I kid you not source Hallware community page, Marcus. The
cruise ships got to picked in and there are markets
on the waterfront selling all the usual tat like dolphin
fridge magnets. Apparently they don't go to the cafes and restaurants.
They go back to the ships for their meals because
they are paid for. So sixteen past nine looking for

(48:10):
two calls it dB, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 19 (48:16):
Hey.

Speaker 11 (48:17):
I used to take two of buses across over the
hill in Takaroa and I'd spend or three or four
hours there waiting for my customers to wander around to
come back again. So I got a chance to talk
to some of the local shop owners and vendors and stuff.
And there were three main problems with the cruise ships.

(48:38):
The first one is all of the inflaps of one
thousand and two thousand people, their surge system was unable
to keep up. Yeah, it's designed around the idea of
the over population. They're all nunder of one thousand, and
they would have system that's capable of hand let's say

(48:59):
fifteen hundred people.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
So, dB, did you say, did you say sewerage system?

Speaker 11 (49:06):
Yeah? Okay, So you've got two thousand people they want
to use toilets and there just wasn't that infrastructure for them.
The same happened in Packedon, but that's another story. The
second thing that would happen is hawkers from christ Shifts
would come over and set up with rubbish beer that

(49:29):
made a Corolla look cheap. Now, the tourists didn't spend
a lot of money there. They spent sup to be fair,
a lot of them would come into Akora, hop into
a bus and go off to the vineyards or into
christ Church. So they didn't spend any money there at all.

Speaker 8 (49:49):
But the biggest boat there that.

Speaker 11 (49:52):
They had, Akira Harbor, is shallow and salt bottomed. These
ships would come in and as they mamoved they kick
up silt and Akira doesn't flush well. There's a great
title range there and it would take three days for
the water to clear and within those three they sometimes

(50:16):
another cruise ship would turn up and they have, you know,
their water quality terrible. You know, these people go there
use of going out, you know, down to the water fish,
they can't do that. The water has turned brown.

Speaker 8 (50:37):
So they had they.

Speaker 11 (50:38):
Were not great plans. It looked good on paper, but
the reality. I spoke to three or four different shopkeepers
and they all echo the same thing. They'd rather not
have them. They'd rather have the day trip I come
across the hill, even if it's a busload, like the
worst I saw there was four four buses there on
one day. Needed one of them. They said they could

(51:01):
handle that because the people get off and spend where's
the two I mean the cruise people. Why did they
have a coffee because hop back into the light, back
to the ship and get coffee for nothing, so they
don't spend a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Do you be what villids would they go to?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
What?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Sorry, what vinards would they do?

Speaker 5 (51:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (51:26):
I think christ has got some of these days.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Gesens or I don't know the I know there's North Kender.
I suppose there must be somewhere around there.

Speaker 11 (51:35):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I may have. I may have been
googled yet, Lily perhaps, but.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Ask you no, no, I mean you're the career drive,
you know, hey, it just correct me if this is right.
Were the cruise ships going to Akaroa because it was
so scenic and beautiful in that old volcano? Or were
they only going there because Littleton Cruise terminal was damaged

(52:02):
in the quake, because that's why they were It was
just a temporary thing, was.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
It, Yes, it was.

Speaker 11 (52:08):
I I just had to make sure it was COVID
that got me kicked out of the industry because I
remember taking people around some of the memorials sort of
quake and stuff like that and trying to explain to
them how much the city had changed. There was otherwise
not cruise people. I never did any cruise work out

(52:31):
of christ Church.

Speaker 8 (52:32):
I did.

Speaker 11 (52:33):
I took people into e Coroa as opposed.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
To understand them out. And I think I think probably
Littleton would be vulnerable to cruise ships because it's kind
of a quaint sort of a place that will be
overwhelming with those big ships. And I don't think that
look kind. You're having thousands of people unleashed that would
overwhelm everything.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (52:57):
I think a lot of them though, were instantly swept
off to christ Church City.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
And I've seen the cruise ships arrive at Port Charmers
Dunedin and that's a nice place, but they can it's
a terrible container terminal. I mean, it's just horrible and
it's just very uncenic, and I think they're all busted
off straight to the Octagon as well. It doesn't it
seems to be. It doesn't seem to be a nice
embarkation in fact embarkation embarkation process. And in fact, every

(53:23):
time I've been there when the cruise is coming, it's
it's put me completely off cruises because most of it
appears to be being shuffled around and staying in queues.
As people look in your passport, it looks like you
just heard it around like kettle.

Speaker 11 (53:36):
You're just you're literally candle. The only people that really
make it from the cruise liners are the port companies
because they charged like like yeah, they charged the ship,
they charged for all the busses to drive on their warves.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
The just yeah, and I think and I think they've
charged too much. And now that they're pulling away, what
we're going to say.

Speaker 11 (53:58):
The only cruise I've ever had the out of port travelers.
I took a load of I think they were a
Polish or checkers. Backs up to the column. Yes, and
I had been to the Gether colonies. I had been
living very quickly where the road went. Yes, there was
you know, full sized coaching and again colony, they're not
best of friends.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Where was this.

Speaker 11 (54:22):
Colony up on attacking peninsula?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Oh yeah, I think it's albatrosses.

Speaker 11 (54:28):
Albatross is sorry, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
They get it's a napier. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, Okay,
that's quite a long wings. Yes, that's a lot long
drive because it's right half that's right around the harbor,
isn't it.

Speaker 8 (54:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Yeah, And for anyone that hasn't been, Yeah, and look again,
it's a fantastic.

Speaker 15 (54:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (54:49):
I when when they all got back on again, they
weren't fizzy, weren't they They didn't see Yeah, it's some
of them. I suppose it's a long time okay, but yeah,
I got a feeling that I suppose they get jailed

(55:09):
as well. Every time the boat stops at a different place,
they take the something and ask what it all looks society.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yeah, okay, not to hear from you, JD. Thank you
too about the crew the impact of the cruise industries.
Look forward to your called eight hundred and eighty to
eighty Myriad's Marcus.

Speaker 19 (55:25):
Welcome, Hello Marcus. Yes, a lot of the locals they
don't lay the tourists from the cruise ship bay, but
the tourists they did really pay money to come to
any any part of the world. We have to pay.
Texts honestly, also get the money. The wolf got the money,

(55:49):
just my princess Wolf. As upgrades have so much money
to upgrade.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
You think it's a good thing, the wolf. You think
it's a good thing. With the cruise ships.

Speaker 19 (56:01):
It's good for the cruise ship. I don't know, because
they just go around the world.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Mary, Thank you. Twenty
six past nine. Oh, some good texts. I'll get to those.
We're talking about cruise ships and just your experience with
their impact on your communities. Good bad or good and bad?
Probably a bit of both, as most things are good

(56:27):
bad or good and bad. It's probably good and bad.
But you know that won't get us the show, will it.
And that guy is still wanting his Schnitzel suggestions and
the commandments of the dishwasher. Oh yeah, she's all on.
There's a super typhoon in Asia, Northern Philippines and Taiwan.

(56:51):
To super Typhoon Marc's they get on mini buses and
go to christ Church for the day. The very of
the cruise ship to Napier is about thirty million annually,
Marcus and Napier, we get two big cruise ships plus
a little one on the same town. Is busy road working,
It's extremely busy, Marcus. I've nearly believed. I've always believed
that been on a cruise ship would be being stuck

(57:13):
in a shopping mall with a demographic of Nudi wed
over ft and Nelly dead Ew. Plymouth is a great
port for cruise ships. Port Planaki, Marcus. The waste is
eye watering, not just day to day rubbish things like mattresses,
et cetera. As cruisers, we use the port stops to
enjoy local food and hospitality as a break from cruise food,
so it's not a case of you go back to
the shop for your free stuff. It's also been great

(57:34):
for us to find places that we want to go
back to for extended stays around the world. Port stops
a taste test for future holidays. The Greater Christchich area
has about seven vineyards. Only thirteen cruise ships a booked
to Kada this season. I agree with the last caller,
been hearing a fair bit about Wellington being in decline.

(57:56):
Bring back the touring car street race they had the eighties.
It was brilliant when it was on. Well done otargo
with the shield. I think this is the record for
the number of times the shield has the number of
holders for the shield in a year. It's the record
equal with the year a number of years back, and
that's five times I think it's been But boy, oh

(58:19):
boy southend onon and that was great. But have they
been off the boil since?

Speaker 8 (58:23):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (58:23):
What is shellacking? They've got the weekend? Oh well, cruise
ships and dishwashers. There's lines free now if you want
to talk about this or anything else. As I've said,
I'll wait one hundred and eighty to out you look forward,
to look forward to what you've got to say. Feel
free give me a call if you do want to
come through twenty seven away from ten cruise ships and

(58:46):
and also the motorway that's now the extension has been
granted all the way from Cambridge right down to Pierre
d So it's going to be a lot longer. It's
all the way from Walkworth down. It's a long way. Now,
how far would that be on Google Maps? Is it
walk with it goes to you? I think it is,

(59:08):
so yeah, that's a long way of course. For a
long time to even get to the Bombay Hells for
most of my life. Much different. Now I'll see how
far that is actually from locations. This is where they've
got consent for it to go with that way, It
hasn't happened yet. Blah blah blah blah blah. Two twenty

(59:36):
seven k's I said one hundred and fifty miles. It's
a long way now. I guess before long it'll be
in fang Aad and then all the way to Topol
in our lifetime could well happen good or bad, don't know,
but talking about cruise ships also tonight give a call
if you want to be involved. HITDLE twelve. By the way,

(01:00:00):
some of the other stuff I can tell your local
government elections voting is open. Votes must be in by
noon on Saturday, eleventh of October, but you really need
to have them in earlier because I think they've got
to be delivered by then. You want to have them
in by the weekend before. By the way, the Women's
Rugby World Cup it'll be Canada versus England will be

(01:00:22):
four am Sunday. Couldn't really think of a worse time.
In New Zealand, because four am Sunday is really three
am because it'll go midnight one o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock.

(01:00:44):
So you lost now that day anyway, So the last
thing you want to do is be getting up early.
Do all Blacks play Sadday Eden Park against Australia. It's
at five oh five. This Sunday is Jennifer Usher's birthday,
who sings our song. She will be sixty five, doing
well with the one banger and daylight savings. This weekend

(01:01:08):
clocks go forward one hour Sunday morning. You don't need
to worry about it now, because your cell phone will
do it. It's called it a health phone. Will do
it deliberately, do it deliberately, do it automatically without even
knowing yep. So that's all I need to tell you people.

(01:01:28):
Sheeple this day. In nineteen ninety nine, the West Wing
was created. Day booed this day. In nineteen ninety four,
the first episode of Friends et on BBC. What do
you think about that? I just heard today? I don't

(01:01:50):
know that Reese Witherspoon was Jennifer Anniston's sister on Friends?
Did you know that? How could I not know that?

Speaker 20 (01:02:04):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Was Jennifer Anderston's character called It was called Dan. You
can tell me that Rachel didn't know Rachel had a sister,
Yeap who played the role of Rachel's sister and friends.
That's on the quiz. How many questions we've got in
the quiz question thirty six. So that's where I'm at

(01:02:26):
with your calls. Come on, let's be hearing from you.
I'll find a photo I think of them together because
don't know they're in't together. Anything else you want to mention,
I'd love to hear from. It's also school holidays. You
might have been to a movie that I've done some
school holiday stuff. What was that? And how was it?

(01:02:46):
It's my favorite holiday, this one, the September one, because
it's the weather's good and it's fun. Oh, she was there.
She is on the couch at the central perk with
an alice band. What's that is that? That firm band
that goes on the top of your head looks good
with it? To get in touch markus till twelve, Come
on cruise ships. Dishwashers Yadiah Marcus. The last time Five

(01:03:15):
Province has had this year it was nineteen fifty was
dubbed the Merry go round to Go Taranaki Wakato, Dunedin. Sorry,
must have gone Tanandaki Wakata, Southland, Canterbury. O Tago's right.
We know who hasn't got it, North Harbor. They are winless. Oh,

(01:03:39):
Rachel had two sisters. Christina Applegate was the other one. Dan,
that's another question. Is that true? Though I didn't know
Christina Applegate was on Friends. I'll fact check that for you, Dan. Yep.
Rachel's other sister, the one with Rachel's other sister. Ninth

(01:04:04):
and tenth season, Well, Rachel's sister babysits. Hello, Kevin, this
is Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:04:09):
Welcome Marcus mate. Somebody mentioned schnitzel before. Yes, I really
like cooking beef snitzel. It's great fun. You need three plates,
one with a flour and run with bread crumbs, and
your right arm uses the flower, dips the meat into

(01:04:30):
the flour, and then you take that with your left
hand and dip it into the egg. And then you
use your left hand again to rather than the bread crumbs,
and the bread crumbs stick into the old egg. But
the secret is to use the flour first because that
helps the the but the egg buying to the meat, okay,

(01:04:53):
and then you end up with lovely looking Engleman snitzel.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
And the pan needs to be hot, very hot.

Speaker 21 (01:04:59):
Oh not really no, just no, just like you heat
it up and then let it cool down and have
a nice like cast iron is better. But if you
get one of those modern ones with a little sort
of like a grid over them, they are really good.
They don't stick. And a bit of oil in there,
bit of olive oil. And the where you go, mate, yeah,
just cook it through really thin meat. It just cooks

(01:05:20):
through real quick and you brown it. You flip it,
flip it, flip it, you know, about three or four times.
And the where you go, well, put it back in
the oven.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
What's the theory with heating, the pain and the nying
at cool? What's that about?

Speaker 21 (01:05:32):
Well, you don't burn it. Then you warm it up
just like anything. You warm up a bit of cast
iron metal and it'll stay warm for a long time.
Then you turn it down and you sort of just
keep it, keep it sort of like warm to hot.
Not you don't want to burning because the bred coons
will burn.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Yeah, yeah, I think there was some of the key stuff, junk.

Speaker 21 (01:05:51):
Of oil and need too, not butter so much, because
but it will just burn. You want something that's going
to hold the heat there and not burn. So a
good dose of oil and the way you go really
and yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:06:02):
It's good.

Speaker 21 (01:06:02):
It's just a it's a time and it's almost like
the last thing you cooked it you don't vegetables. And
another really nice thing to do with roasted vegetables. I
think you've never ever done this. You've got a lemon,
chop it into about six bits, take a few seeds
out and you put that in with your roast vegetables.
Have you ever done that?

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:06:20):
Never, beautiful roast.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Lemon and keep it. I'm not convinced. I'm going to.
I actually like the sounds of it. Are you a chef?

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:06:29):
I've had experienced working in the mind. So I worked
in the mind in Australia in about thirty five forty
years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
I didn't learn a lot.

Speaker 21 (01:06:37):
I learned how to cook, come since to leave it,
I learned a lot of other stuff and over there
was basically no knowledge and got chucked in the deep end.
I needed a chef one day and I got my
mother to send over the Edmonds cookbook. Wow, and I
just just cooked out of that and I you know, learned.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
As I went, really how many we are cooking for?

Speaker 21 (01:07:00):
Twenty wow? And then that was on the gas pipeline
coming down from Dampia down Perth, yep. And they were
commissioning that the pipeline. It's still going, I suppose, but
they were servicing the pump stations, and that pump stations
were a massive sheds on huge sheds, but big sheds,
and they had a seven four seven engine and the

(01:07:22):
gas would come out of the pipe out of the
ground like huge about a meter pipe round or met across,
come into the pump station, get pumped, and then send
off down to the next pump station, probably about two
hundred k's away. And we were servicing. We followed the
caravan entourage of the engineers and people that would come

(01:07:43):
down and check out the line and make sure it
was all set before they got it going. Really and
now it pumps gas from Dampi down to Perth.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
Is it offshore? Guess that's gotten from offshore?

Speaker 21 (01:07:55):
Yeah, they brought it ashore and then they pumped it
down through the pump stations all the way down to Perth.
And it's probably, oh, I know, a thousand fifteen under
ks and it was in the middle sticks to the
middle of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
What were you cooking? Are you cooking in a mobile
chuck wagon?

Speaker 21 (01:08:11):
Yeah, we had a caravan camp. There were two ovens
in there. It was just just like a big, big,
like a forty foot caravan behind serving a serving service.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Was it hot?

Speaker 21 (01:08:25):
No, that was the middle of the middle of winter.
It was. It was actually quite nice, got a few
hot days. But the first camp I was at was
in Gascoyne, Gascoyne Junction, just just north of the junction there,
and we stayed there for about five weeks, six weeks,
and then we moved off down to Inland, just Northampton,

(01:08:47):
which is north of Geraldton in there Inland from there
and there was a pump station there and there it
was good fun. And then they sent me off down to
Perth and had a weekend off, long before the days
of fly and fly out. And then they sent me
off to a job up in Leonora and I was
cooking there some breakfast cook cleaner.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Touch your hand, who talked you about the lemon and
the roast veggies?

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:09:12):
Made of mine? Your partner? Actually?

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Okay, brilliant good to hear from you, Kevin, Thank you,
Judith Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:09:21):
Heart, good evening, And I'm trying to cut your work back.
You're when you're doing venus or to make a lot
of work for yourself, a lot of sticky mess. You
have full plates. Number plate has flour, and number plates
got beaten me egan, another number free plates got red crumbs,
and number four is an empty plates. And in your
hands you have a fork in each hand, and you

(01:09:43):
start off with the meat, and you do it through
four different phases, and at the end you've got still
clean fingers, and you've got a plate waiting with the
venousness will already to be put on.

Speaker 19 (01:09:56):
The better.

Speaker 14 (01:09:57):
You're making such a mess for yourself and you have
to go wash your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Who is making a mess for themselves?

Speaker 14 (01:10:03):
If you're doing your venus its in your fingers instead
of holding a piece of meat with it with forks.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Oh, yes, what we're.

Speaker 14 (01:10:11):
Saying, it's much easy to work it with forks because
you don't hold as much batterle flour on your fingers
that your fork holds your piece of meat far more
delicately and daintly as you take it through the secret

(01:10:31):
so the flour, the egg and bread crumbs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Yep, makes sense, Jude to thank you. Fifteen to ten.
Someone says, what's the reason for serving Schlitzer with a
wedge of lemon? I don't know, someone might ask, evening
Oz we doing is put a slice of cheese and
a plice of ham between the meat, then flour, egg crumb.
It's so good, I love, one says, says, so good,

(01:10:57):
so good. I'm not quite sure what we're going to
do with the quiz for all the thirty six quiz
questions that we've got from Commas that things were discovered
during the year. But be excited when I figure that out,
that's for sure. Twelve to ten. If you want to
be a part of the show, I'll keep you updated

(01:11:17):
if there's anything special that's happening around the world. Yep,
so be a part of if you want to talk. Oh,
eight hundred eighty eight, she one of the Aussies Sky
News Australia in trouble. Someone's gone on someone's gone on
one of their shows with bacon on his shirt. Cheapest

(01:11:43):
creepers for protection. So it's a weird thing to have happen,
isn't it. So anyway. I think they've apologized for that. Yep,
and Harry is still considering sending his children to school
in the UK, but not eaten. So if you want

(01:12:07):
to mention so oh, I don't know what you want
to mention actually, but do come through Hittel twelve o'clock.
The numbers, oh, eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty and
nine text looking forward to what you want to say tonight.
But mainly it's been about whether cruise ships are a
good or a bad thing, and like most things, they're
probably a bit of both. I put my flower and

(01:12:28):
bread crumbs and separate piles to crumbsn it's on newspaper,
then wrap it up when done into the bin free
tidy way of doing it, beating the egging a bowl
of course, refrigerate crumbschets or for twenty minutes before shallow
frying and all stops the crumb falling off. Marcus, what's
the legal age to teach a child how to drive?

(01:12:51):
I've been trying to teach my ten year old how
to drive on my little turn to hatchback in my
backyard into the nosy neighbor from down the road, saying
my son's too young to be behind the wheel and
threatening to call the police. What could go wrong? Mac,
It's a great question. What's the legal age to teach

(01:13:12):
someone to drive a big backyard? It's a great that's
a great question. And do come through oh wa e
one hundred and eighty ten? Do you like that one
a lot? Actually so yes, dishwasher rules and Schnitzel, But
mainly it's about cruise ships and whether they are good

(01:13:34):
for communities or bad full communities. But Akaroa just seemed
too much. And how look how long the Aucland Motorway
is now. It's going to go all the way to
Pierred from Cambridge, so wow, make of that what you
will two hundred and thirty k's or something. I guess

(01:13:55):
in the time it will go to Wellington Yues. It's
probably one of the situations. Oh, by the way, there's
super typhoons in Asia causing all sorts of problems there.
I'll get some more details for you before too long.
I don't know what a super typhoon is, but we're

(01:14:17):
a super tornado. But if I find out, I'll let
you know. People aide away from ten Jeff Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Yeah, I got any Marcus, I don't know if there's
any objection about cruise ships coming in. I think it's good.
I've seen them coming Mount Mong Andui there and you know,
and they're in there doing shopping. All the retail shops
are making money, and the people seem to be pretty well,

(01:14:52):
well behaved and they seem to be having a good time.
I've actually spoken with a couple of few people off
the cruise ships what they think, and they say, hey,
this is fabulous Mount Long Andu. He's a great place
to come. They love going to Putland, they love going
to christ Church, they love going anywhere in New Zealand.

(01:15:13):
Because I just seem to enjoy New Zealand, I'd.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Like to hear from you, Jeff, thanks for that, and
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:15:21):
Hello.

Speaker 23 (01:15:22):
I just rang up because I wondered what happened with
the cruise is when COVID was rife.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Yeah, yeah, what about that?

Speaker 23 (01:15:35):
Well, I just wondered how if people actually went on there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
I think I think I think they I think probably
they thought the cruise ship, the cruise industry wasn't going
to wasn't going to survive COVID. COVID decimated it but
since then, I think they've bounced back. But COVID was
not good at all because because COVID and COVID spreads,

(01:16:00):
Guestro and COVID spread really quickly on cruise ships.

Speaker 23 (01:16:05):
Yes, it wouldn't. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
And I thought they thought it was never going to recover,
but they seemed to have. It seems to be busy again.
They're just not coming to New Zealand.

Speaker 23 (01:16:15):
Oh well, I suddenly thought about it. I've never really
given it much thought, but thanks for that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
There was one of those first ships that happened, and
it was in China I think, and then Hong Kong
and then going to Japan, and it just was they
quarantined the ship and there were people phoning out. Yeah,
there's a documentary on it. It wasn't good, but thanks
for that. So there we go. Was it White Tongue

(01:16:44):
last April cruise ships provided work for boats to free
people ashore bus drivers, White Tongue ground visiting trips to
Russell plus more looked pretty good to me. Positives outweigh
the negatives. Hong Kong Airport will shut for thirty six
hours as Typhoon Ragassa NAIs So yeah, she's a big deal.

(01:17:07):
It is ten too young to teach your kids to drive.
Gut feeling would be yes, I've always got a ten
year old and an eleven year old. No went thinking
about wanting to learn to drive. Mind you, the dad
was a slow starter. Must have been nearly forty. Yes,

(01:17:31):
super typhoon. So Hong kong IA's gone. Gon Burgert's closed
from eight pm to eight am. So flights from Auckland
and to Auckland are affected. Yep, so that's a big deal.
That's what's happening. It's typhoon season. So yeah, Hong Kong

(01:17:56):
Airport not if on they close airports, mind you. I
saw some shaky landings at Wellington on video over the weekend.
What's your worst landing? I wonder if you've got a
good bad Lander you don't want to ones we had
touched down and take off again. They look terrifying, don't they.
There have been genuine questions from people tonight wondering how
old you can teaching your children to drive in the backyard.

(01:18:20):
There are farmer type people that always say, yeah, that's
something you could do. I'm just not sure of the legality.
I'll be surprised if you can teach them under fifteen,
although are there racing car drivers under that age? Mark's

(01:18:40):
My youngest child was six weeks You first heard to
steer my small truck while sitting on my knee. At
eight she was able to drive independently. She had to
stand to reach the pedals. It wasn't legal, but the
times they would get a license she was a excellent
driver and pass through practical driving era out test era free.
I think you can teach your ten or eleven to
drive on your farm as long as it's down private.

(01:19:01):
Probably that used to be, okay, not sure the rules
have changed. Are you aware of the product recall from Tasty?
Hope it's not their crystallized cherries. A Christmas cake without
cherries is like steam pudding without custard. We are talking
about cruise ships coming to New Zealand. If it's the
end of the road and that it's a bad thing.

(01:19:23):
Are they good for small port towns, your pictons and
your port charmers and your acker rowers And what about
the Bay of Islands? Oh well they still go there,
don't they get? What do they end up? I suppose
I got a pie here and good treaty grounds. It's
probably not a bad thing. It's a major discussion point

(01:19:44):
for tonight people. It is school holidays. If there's something
else you want to talk about. I learned to drive
in an XCV eight panel van on forestry roads getting
fire wood and had to sit on a pillow with
a seat pulled forward as far as it could go.
Talk about tiptoe driving their discussions. Would love to hear
from you. If there's something else you want Tom bark

(01:20:05):
on good and how long the Auckland Motorway is now?
Because if someone texted the timeline of the I thought
this was quite a good a good summation if I
can find the text. Auckland Southern Motorway reached tuck and

(01:20:29):
Ninney in nineteen sixty three, Bombay nineteen eighty five and
was there forever Mercer nineteen ninety six, Hampton Downs two
thousand and six to Cofa to twenty eighteen, Cambridge twenty twenty.

(01:20:49):
Was only this year and last year that I've actually
probably done the I haven't gone all the way as
far as Cambridge. I've just only gone down as far
as when we're heading down to New Plymouth over the
summer I found it quite disconcerting actually, because it all changed. Yeah,
so then that might be something that takes your fancy

(01:21:10):
to talk about. Also tonight now, Marcus, after COVID lost
a hundred ships maybe more. In Wellington the mean camera
shop gone from Feathers Street was amongst the first to close.

(01:21:30):
Oh yeah, it'd be right. I don't know if camera
shops for a thing these days. Everyone's got cell phone cameras.
Oh I saw that, didn't realize That's course silver Fens
did quite well against South Africa, no surprise. Is there
be good to hear from you? At eleven past ten?

Speaker 24 (01:21:43):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):

But if you saw that, And also if you've been
to the Monster Trucks, no, the hot wheels and the
need and I'd like to hear from you about that.
How was that? If he went to the Monster Trucks,

(01:22:04):

and I think it's going to Wellington. Then Auckland hot
wheels they're on like tracks, they do the loop, the loop.
We've seen that. Let me know about that. Also but yeah,
all the lines are free. If we've got to come
through eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two

(01:22:26):
nine two to text.

Speaker 8 (01:22:26):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
Everyone's on holiday of course too, so need you on
the air tonight? People jumping some of the other stuff
that's happening. I'll keep your dad with news throughout the
course of the evening. It's a super typhoon. It's closed
the airport at Hong Kong. So that's just happened, so

(01:22:54):
very strong winds are predicted. But any other news, I
haven't really got much else for you people. Yes, you've
got something's happening on your neck that would be good
to hear from you where it's local body elections to
and get your voting. You've only got a couple more
weeks to do that, yep, so do be a part

(01:23:20):
of you want to be on your Marcus till twelve
oh waight one hundred and eighty eight. And also kids driving,
I don't think you could drive at ten, but I
don't know that for a fact. John. It's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:23:41):
Welcome here, Marcus. I'm eighty nine now. I mean when
I went for my license, they weren't automatics, but now
all the cars are automatic.

Speaker 7 (01:23:54):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:23:55):
Well they were discovered now where the break is in
the exhalarator and stir it's two. But you know, there's
a lot of people and I even find it now
that sometimes I drive something and it's manual and it's

(01:24:17):
a big deal. It's a big deal compared to driving
and automatic people. Yep, But I don't think you know,
if somebody saw somebody teaching the kid to back out,
I don't think there's anybody else's business. I'd call somebody
like that a k MAC. Yep, that's what I would

(01:24:39):
couple them. And then you're talking about I don't know
what what restrictions there are on that, but you know
that are there restrictions that you there's a certain age
that you can only start to know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
That's what I've got no idea. That's why I asked people,
oh right, because you know a lot of stuff that
that kids, the adults can do, the kids aren't supposed
to do. It's probably yeah, I don't know what what. Yeah,
if your if the kid was driving without someone teaching
them would be bad.

Speaker 7 (01:25:12):
Well, you wouldn't want them out on the road. No,
that's you wouldn't want them out on the road below
the without a well, without a driver's license.

Speaker 5 (01:25:22):
Put it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
No, what did you what did you learn to drive?
And John? And where were you?

Speaker 5 (01:25:31):
I bought her. I bought her a car of my uncle.
It was a nineteen thirty four called Morris Minor and
it was a heap of crapman. Well, you know marcut
they built those bodies in those days. That it was
a wooden frame and then they put the middle over

(01:25:54):
the top. And it was a terrible car. And I remember,
I remember when I went to sell it, I took
it at the card they listened to monsters dropping the
car and take it for a drive around the block.
I thought, God, one of these this size is big enough,

(01:26:15):
and I'll never forget. They said to me when they
got back. It's a bit underpowered.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
It's rich, isn't it. Did they buy it?

Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
Yeah? I think they They sold it for me, But
I mean, I don't know what I expected it to be.
It was tiny, you know, it was might have been
travel under CC or a thousand CC. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:26:37):
I can remember, yep.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
But you I know I've heard you say that that
you didn't render to the later years which I.

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
Always had motorbikes. Now I must have been thirty two
or something. It was late enough.

Speaker 5 (01:26:52):
Oh yeah, well you would have known the rules of
the road and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
Yeah, and I do drive a manual a lot of
the times. Well I quite like a manual, Oh do yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):

I am Marcau. He has it hangs all right?

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Good, Thank you, Ben.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
I just think I just had that. Oh I suppose
a throwback, but where are you talking about going for
licenses and that I remember going from a license out
country to drive a truck It was an old milk
tack head the book farm around it, and had a
couple of pigs rooting on the back and had a
slogan the way to make bacon. He used to go

(01:28:18):
and get away from the local cheese fact where the
clock he turned darkness is right. Make sure you got
your wallets with the yep, he says, drive me down
in the shop. And we drove about two k's down
the road. I couldn't even drive this truck hard. Leave it.
We drove down and it says on a double screp
pokey pokey ice cream around there and got the mid scream.

(01:28:38):
Came back and you take the truck back home. We
drove home the two k's. It was all straight road.
It's right, you got your truck and trail license got
on you. And he just jumped in his car with
us hokey pokey ice cream and while he went, wow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Were you working for the guy with the bumper sticker
with the pigs and the bacon?

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
No, he was. He was my parents neighbor. He had
a big pig farm. That's where that he had that bacon.
It's called Rye Valley bacon.

Speaker 18 (01:29:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
He was a guy invented the Yeah, it says, but
he had a bit of a thousand pigs in that
at his own avatary, and he even had his own
little butcher shop. Yeah, but it says truck they used
to go under Caramiko sort of just down to blend
him there, and it used to be a chee thatcher
used to go and get the way feed the pigs.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Did you get a job Did you get a job
straight away driving truck? Driving trucks?

Speaker 13 (01:29:32):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
We overseas.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
I had to have a license before I went overseas,
meant to have a like two years driving experience. I
had about two weeks. Yeah, cheated the system a bit.
But another one was, so.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
Did you get a job overseas driving?

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Yeah? Yeah, I drove all around America in a big truck.

Speaker 5 (01:29:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Yeah, well six seven years I suppose.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Yeah. Another one was, while you're talking about hot I
went to like an amp show over there. I can't
remember what they called them, but they had a drag car.
They had a jet like a jet and a plane
and a car. Anyway, they typed this car to the
ground and they had about about six of these cars

(01:30:23):
flattened on top of each other sitting behind it. Anyway,
they started up this car wheel stood back and they
started up this car and he turned after burning on
and all the cars stacked them as heat just dissolved.
They just threw a car just mounted it was great. Wow,

(01:30:44):
it was They were all tight to the ground. So
but yeah, they just all dissolved. They just like, you know,
like a jet plane. They've got a jet. Yeah, it
just turned it on and he just gave it the
gas and everything just looked like a big burner just
mounting stuff flat out. Yeah, it was pretty cool that
when you were talking about hot wheels. That's what I
thought all straight away.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
I'll find Ben, did you spend your whole six or
seven years living in your truck?

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
Yeah? Yeah, and oh the first of the pre base,
the one I got. I've got a brand new truck
in the end that for two years. That had a
they had a double bed in the bottom, a single
bead on the top, and then you had a fridge
on the left hand tide looking back, bwave above that,

(01:31:34):
and there had TV video combo and then were all
in the back.

Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
We're able to have friendships, been with the people you'd
see regularly. We were just solitary the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
Oh bit of both.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
We based the sounds out of a place called Liverpool,
Kansas and the poor beef or in the country. Sure,
but we had a few of us brook Kiwis and
Aussies who worked for the same company. We all became
friends and that. And then one of the guys got
married to an American check and he had his own house.

(01:32:07):
It was rented house. And then when we used to
come back to town once once a week or once
every couple of weeks, he used to go and stay
with them for a night or two. Ye then hid out. Yeah,
but we are well knowing around town because who will
talk funny you see.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Yeah, and you got everywhere around the states apart from Alaska,
did you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Yeah. I've done a weave at a Mexico weave it
of Canada pretty much you could cross by six states
one days cut. I ended up going out east out
to New York, back to New York place called Hunts
Point in New York City, right next to Bronx. That
was like the big distribution center for Manhattan. So you

(01:32:56):
take a load of beef out there. We'd always leave
it a day late because We used to have a
few drinks on a faurday night. You do it was
eighteen hundred and eighteen hundred miles and you first day.
You had to do one thousand miles the first day,
and then you do eight hundred the next day and
deliver sure and then and then once you did that,

(01:33:16):
because they paid the extra money going, they used to
give you one hundred and fifty dos cats to go
to New York City because it was a place not
to go to. You didn't really want to go there
if you could help it. But the best thing about
it was it was so big. It was easy to
get a load to get back out. And we used
to just clean out the trailer with a broobe and

(01:33:37):
we used to charge them like seventy five dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:33:39):
To do that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
And then you go to a place in New Jersey
to cross straight across from New York City. We used
to go to a place that used to make condoms
and pick up the whole traileroad of condoms and then
take them back to Dallas. But the deal was there,
he just dropped the trailer, pick up the load and.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
It did the company approve that or was that on
the down law? Was that totally illegal? What's that that
you could take a back load?

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
No, that's what they arrange for us. I understand, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because it's called dead heading. Otherwise you're going from A
to B. You're not making money. So you a load, yeah,
and take it back to the direction where you came from. Yeah,
we would always end up in Dallas, and our company
had a yard in Dallas, so we got to drop

(01:34:29):
a trailer there, pick up an empty one, did straight back,
which is about four hours travel straight back to Liberal, Kansas,
pick up a load of beef, get out again.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
And did you have holidays? Did you have holidays there
in your sixty seven years or just driving the whole time?

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
Yeah? El keevy boys got quite cunning. We had satellite dishes,
but they knew where you were. But we were really
quite cunning. We're just going to get a roll of tinfalling.
And for example, I was going through I wanted to
go to that sturg just not get them into bike.
So I just thought I'd go there. And it was
one hundred and one hundred and fifty miles out of
route because they used to watch us on the BPS,

(01:35:12):
and so yeah, we're going to Mark, get a roll
of sin fall wrap it around the dome, go to
stur just party up. Whatever you do, go back and
where you land up. Once you got to you know
where you'd probably normally be, make the ten and fall off.
Now said like, we're catching up. And if I tried
to wring you just an answer the phone, because I'd

(01:35:35):
be like, hey, something's wrong with this headleight you know?

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Oh I don't okay, And I guess you got sick
of it. In the end, pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:35:45):
Oh no, I loved it. It got pretty low. I
think the longest time was even weeks. I think if
I remember right, seven weeks out of the road yea.
And it was just on the point of having phones.
We didn't quite have phones and everything we had to do,
like we didn't have GPS like maps or in and
we had to just get the random now in the

(01:36:07):
paper map and study on where you're going. It was
quite tricky, but you lose it real quick. You had
to otherwise you're going to get lost, and you know
you don't be sure. You talk to a lot of people,
like if you rung up your customer, like if you're
go into a warehouse for example, and rich or wherever

(01:36:28):
you're always they go, oh, yeah, go down the street
when you see the yellow yellow house, turn left. What's
the name of the street. Oh, I don't know, I
just know the yellow house. Yeah, you're always in the street.
And roads over there have numbers that even numbers are
usually east and west, sure, and then the odd numbers

(01:36:53):
in north and south.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Good live it there, Ben, But thanks so much. That's good,
good information. Thank you appreciate it. Twenty six past ten.
So we are talking, well, I am talking. You are
talking about mainly it's about the fact that cruise ships
don't want to come to New Zena much anymore, I
think because of the costs of port fees. But how
much is a blow for that? Has it been a

(01:37:15):
good or a bad thing? It felt like about ten
years they're all coming here. We became the destination, that
became the trendy one, and now kind of too much
and it's gone. Is this a loss or was it
too many people too suddenly at small places. I'll be
curious in your opinion on that. Also, the right age

(01:37:38):
to teach people to drive? Can you teach your kids
to ten out the back paddock? The extension of the
Auckland Motorway or the word's called the whakat To Expressway
going beyond Cambridge. Not giving up on that one. Do
get in touch. By the way, the cruise ships have
arrived in Auckland. Princess the Crown Princess has arrived, which

(01:38:00):
the ships had better names. So that's happening. If you
want to talk about that, also get in touch. I
guess for Queen Street, the retailers probably appreciate it. But
how much money do they spend if you're in retail,
do they spend much or not much at all? I

(01:38:21):
don't know the answer to that, but you do come
through back a little bit on Schnitzel Tonight always good
as a topic. Someone rang up earlier. He was trying
to remember what he was supposed to learn from the
topic of the head in June. I think I told
them to put it in the fridge before you keep
the binds that binds the bread crumbs. So there's that.

(01:38:47):
But yeah, if you want to talk, it's twenty eight
away from eleven, eight hundred and eighty nine nine to
text Graham, this is Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:39:03):
I had four children and now a total drive on
a farm. Yes, a large one was actually where the
house we lived in was a mile from the road
gate where they caught the school bus. We had for
a mile of limestone metal private roads on the property,

(01:39:25):
and I bought a thirty eight box L twelve and
the kids used to drive themselves down to the gate,
leave the car there, and turn around and drive back
to the house at the end of the school day.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
That's at what age were they doing that from?

Speaker 20 (01:39:43):
Well, a lot.

Speaker 17 (01:39:45):
Younger than ten and twelve. In fact, when my two
sons are ten and twelve, they used to take a
tractor each on the farm and go and feed out hay.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
So they're doing it like at five and six they
driving that road?

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
Were they?

Speaker 17 (01:40:01):
Oh a little bit older than that?

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Yes, and they could reach the pedals and everything thing,
no problem, Okay, I was doing tall kids.

Speaker 17 (01:40:14):
The There was about what is there eight years between
the youngest and the oldest, So it was the oldest
that had the ability to drive first, of course, Yes,
but that's the way they learned.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
To drive and they became good drivers.

Speaker 17 (01:40:36):
Yeah, they still drive. They're all in their sixties now.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Jay, Wow, what's so car? Did you say?

Speaker 17 (01:40:47):
It was said he had boxhol twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
Is it quite a big car?

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
No, they're.

Speaker 17 (01:40:56):
Fairly smallish car.

Speaker 9 (01:40:59):
You could.

Speaker 17 (01:41:01):
Fit half a dozen people in there to push.

Speaker 11 (01:41:04):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:41:04):
What part of the country being.

Speaker 5 (01:41:05):
Graham.

Speaker 17 (01:41:08):
Twelve miles from Queen Street Post offic Silverdale?

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
Oh yeah, wonder if it was Silverdale. Nice to hear
from your Graham. Thanks for that. Twenty five away from
a liven looking for to your calls, evening Ron, this
is Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:41:23):
Yeah, talking about young Jacob's driving. My young fellow. He
learned to drive when he is only eight, and he
could load a truck with the lader and operate the
digger and the whole works. And now he's only sixty
five when he owns a mess of water machinery.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
Yeah, I can I mention. What were the circumstances when
he got started so young?

Speaker 20 (01:41:49):
Oh well, I was working on that type of work, yep.
And he used to be with He was just keen
and used to come to work with me all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
Yeah. Some people are nuts on vehicles, aren't they.

Speaker 5 (01:42:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:42:02):
Well he also could drive them all those and he
owns two big ones now in the logging one's that
come out to eighty five and the sixty five. He
owns now skidders and log haulers, women uh swing yarders,
and the one's a swing outer, one of the new swingouters.

(01:42:26):
He's operating in the wire wrapper right now.

Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
Great and all, thanks to you all. Thanks.

Speaker 20 (01:42:32):
Another thing I wanted to tell you years ago in
the Northern Man two, there was this old guy came
to live up near Ringawah here, and it'd come from Townsville,
way in the back of townful where he was a
cowboy anyway, only bhiclely he got this job up here
on the roading and he come up in this little

(01:42:55):
baby Austin with wire wheels. And I'll tell you what it's.
You know, a small ware. Yes, it was about a
thirty something model. Anyway, I've seen the sea swaying along
in front of me. One day I was coming back
from way up in the back there in the Northern
Man or two. What the hell he must be drunk

(01:43:16):
or something. So anyway I caught up with eve been
sure enough it was. There was he that lived at
the Bluff Road. And the car looked like the tires
were flat. And you know what he had in it?
He had to sing chuckle rock with wood firewood and
the whole bank was full right to the roof. The

(01:43:36):
passenger side alongside him was full, and the tires were
virtually half flat. And I said to him, I said,
you'll blow blow the tires out. He said, I'll just
take a slow stane lo gear. He said, already got
about another four miles to go. And that was in
that baby Austin. And then I thought, oh, that will

(01:43:58):
be the last thing I ever seen of that. And
I went to the fielding near he was driving around here.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
I guess that's the thing about firewood. If you need it,
you need it. If you see it, you see it
and you take it.

Speaker 20 (01:44:12):
Well, yeah, there, But I reminded the pros to this
where he was up there in the old house at
the bluff Road.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
Where's bluff Road?

Speaker 5 (01:44:21):
Yeah, where's that?

Speaker 20 (01:44:22):
That's called bluff Road?

Speaker 5 (01:44:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:44:23):
Up there, there's a place called Bluff Road halfway between
kim Bolton and Ring.

Speaker 2 (01:44:27):
And what oh yeah, yeah on the bluff he names.
Sounds like it sounds like.

Speaker 20 (01:44:33):
She'd be about one hundred. It'd be about one hundred
and twelve of years alive.

Speaker 21 (01:44:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:44:36):
I love that one hundred and twelve is still alive.
Nice to hear from you Ron, Thank you brilliant Jamie.
Marcus welcome, Hey Marcus, there you going, thank you Jamie.

Speaker 24 (01:44:47):
Well, my fifteen year older we never did rap him,
but a go cut it at Demons, and just the
other week he was giving me tips on how to
do circle work wow, which I found that was quite
That was quite funny. My fifteen year old is Calindy
that my circle work game not very good and how
to get it better.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
What circle work there? Jamie, Oh, it's just.

Speaker 24 (01:45:10):
Really you're doing donuts on like a on a grass
or gravel. So because I am mechanic at work, fixed
my youth needed a new clutch and I was like, oh,
we'll take the punch out and get it doing some
circle work. So he's like, oh, you're not very good
at it, and I was like, oh, so they started
giving me tips on how to get better.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Are you proud of how good he is?

Speaker 8 (01:45:30):
Jamie, Yeah, it's pretty good.

Speaker 24 (01:45:32):
He's got really good trottle control. Because we only we
did dirt carding, and I used to we only even
did just test and tuned. But I'm like, come one
tire up to like twenty pig and have the other
one mixed and one too the go cart never really
handled very good, and so it has to work out why.
And I think it made him a.

Speaker 8 (01:45:49):
Good driver, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
He's got his license now now.

Speaker 24 (01:45:53):
He's fifteen, he gets it next year. He does the

it's pretty funny, but you get sorry, yeah you goes?

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Will it be driving the day turned sixteen?

Speaker 24 (01:46:06):
Yeah, i'd say say, you get his learners and then
his and all the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:46:11):
I was going to ask you, did you get that
time laps video on Facebook?

Speaker 2 (01:46:15):

Speaker 24 (01:46:18):
Oh yeah, and I time Laps. I'll send you a

Any any did you see anything interesting?

Speaker 3 (01:46:36):
No, not really.

Speaker 24 (01:46:37):
The video is kind of interesting, but five minutes long.

Speaker 8 (01:46:39):
I put some music to it.

Speaker 24 (01:46:41):
Put it on tis five minutes long. But yeah, it
gives you and when you're watch it back, it's a
long boring road.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
I'm looking at the fifty five second one. It straight,
isn't it?

Speaker 8 (01:46:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:46:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:46:52):
Very straight?

Speaker 8 (01:46:52):
Yeah, pretty cool you.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
Get Do you get bored driving?

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:46:57):
Yeah, that got a bit boring. I've been so much,
so excited to see its corner, but now I enjoy
it some time. Like I'm there, just coming into nil now,
three hundred and ninety three kilometers away from Melbourne, so
I'll be I'll sleep somewhere around here tonight and rocking
to Melbourne at about seven in the morning tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (01:47:16):
I won't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
How was Perth?

Speaker 24 (01:47:20):
Oh yeah it was good thing some family.

Speaker 8 (01:47:23):
Yeah, it was really good.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Are they in the final of the AFL Did they
say because they're mad about Ozzie rules?

Speaker 22 (01:47:28):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
Aren't they? Do they talk about that?

Speaker 8 (01:47:30):
No, we didn't talk about that.

Speaker 24 (01:47:31):
I didn't clean these my uncles until eight years old.
They were the first people they'd ever moved to Australia
and I've never seen again. Wow, catching up that was
a good night.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
Oh they'd be excellent. And they're doing all right.

Speaker 3 (01:47:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
Hell they've been there for what thirty years now, have they?

Speaker 8 (01:47:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:47:48):
Since ninety eight?

Speaker 2 (01:47:49):
Oh yeah, twenty six and they've done well.

Speaker 8 (01:47:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:47:52):
Yeah, they like it.

Speaker 24 (01:47:53):
Yeah, they love it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
Not talking about moving back to New Zealand.

Speaker 24 (01:47:57):
No, No, they'll see out their days in Australia.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
And what happens for their kids. It gets tricky for
kids without having going in diversity in things, doesn't it.

Speaker 24 (01:48:08):
Oh yeah, they moved over in ninety eight, so that
was before all that. John Howard changed the laws in
two thousand and one. My kids can't go to university,
but they can now. But I've just got to pay
the money for them to become citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Because what's changed? What's changed, Jamie? Do they change the
law or have they been there long enough?

Speaker 5 (01:48:31):
Now?

Speaker 24 (01:48:31):
They changed Albo Albant easy changed the law. So we're
on a special category visa.

Speaker 8 (01:48:38):
He changed.

Speaker 24 (01:48:38):
So anyone that came after two thousand and one is
on that special category visa. They can automatically apply and
get citizenships. You've still just got to pay the money
fifteen hundred bucks or the family or something so that.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
We does it mean everyone that's from New Zealand can
be on that special category visa?

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:48:57):
Yeah, yeah, ok. Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:48:59):
If they're on that special category visa now they can.
They've got a pathway to citizenship because you get you
get on it when you you get on the special
category piece when you move over there, so you can
work in Australia. But you can't get many of the benefits.
Yeah change, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
Yeah, okay, so I stick up for oh yeah, oh yeah,
but that's but that's quite that's Queenslanders, you know, cheapest
creepers with joby LK. Peterson. And he was he was
a loose he was a loose unit so.

Speaker 24 (01:49:35):
Chrystal Fully now he seems he seems he want us
to drink a beer. It's quite funny.

Speaker 3 (01:49:40):
What's his name, christal Fully?

Speaker 24 (01:49:43):
I think I might be saying it wrong. Yeah, he
was uptown watching the NRL having a beer a few
weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Okay, I'll check him out. Nice to hear from you, Jamie.
Fifteen away from eleven. My father taught us three girls
to drive practice from six year old. Driving through gateways
was a challenge, but we always made it. He also
made us drive off and down a driveway with a
trector and try to learn how to back still driving
farm machinery today, sixty years on, Michelle, this governor's getting
read of the learner license. I know a handful of

(01:50:11):
people in their late forties and fifties still on their
luner's license. How shameful farm kids are so further ahead
when it comes to driving. My mum was driving an
orchard truck when she was fourteen. She went to the
Army's truck drivers. She's still in the Army and still driving.
She's seventy. You got to be careful though. Country people

(01:50:31):
die on country road. To remember that. I love the
common It was a smallish car. We could fit around
a half a dozen people, and that's not really a
small car. Great show. I learned how to drive at twelve,
driving from Helensville to south Head. It's all about teaching
young kids to drive fourteen to eleven, ten from eleven.

(01:50:51):
You might want talk about the weekend sport. Also to
the of the Black Ferns out from the Rugby World Cup.
You've got to realize it. Canna have beaten us twice
and drew with us once. They are the second best
team in the world. So I don't know why people
were surprised that we didn't get through to the final.
I thought that was going to form predictable. I don't
know what you want to say about that, but that's happened.

(01:51:15):
You might want to mention the NRAL too. It seems
to be a really different NRL final Semis this year
with the first team out, the third team out, so
it's just the second and fourth and the fifth and
the seventh team. I'm pretty sure through to the Semis.
That's interesting. It's a bit different. Quite a good competition.
I quite like that way it works. At the end

(01:51:35):
of it. It's a good thing, I think, So yeah,
do talk about that if you want to. Also, we're
talking mainly about the cruise ships and the fact that
a lot less are going to come to New Zealand
because we just don't seem to be flavor of the month.
And some of that's I think to do with how
much they charge for port visits. They reckon sound that

(01:51:56):
they're trying to scam a better deal. But I don't
know what your experience have been in small towns with
cruise ships has been. Like if you think it's a
bad thing, they are going. And I'm asking if anyone
took their kids or grandkids to the hot Wheels that
Dunedin over the weekend and how was that. I'm kind
of quite curious to work out whether that was good
or bad. You don't know what you want to say

(01:52:21):
about that. I'd be pretty interested to hear about that
they like to loop the loops and things. Well, I
haven't seen it, but I was pretty excited when it
came out. The kids went that into it. But yeah,
there could be something you can talk about. Also today

(01:52:41):
it's eleven. It's nine away from eleven, so get in
touch if you want to be a part of it.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine two
to text romance along from Midnight or the other thing.
That was quite interesting an article I read today Someone's

(01:53:02):
gone through all the number one songs in the US
for the last sixty years, and what's happened in all
those songs over his analysis?

Speaker 5 (01:53:18):
Right?

Speaker 19 (01:53:21):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:53:22):
Once upon a time A big feature of the songs
was the key change. Yeah, which happens I think in
the last.

Speaker 4 (01:53:36):
Chorus.

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
But now that's the thing of the past. So a
lot of the songs were in multiple keys. I haven't
got a good air for these things, so I wouldn't
actually really detect those myself. The act of shifting of

(01:53:58):
songs key up either half a step or a hoole
step near the end of a song was the most
popular key change for decades. My girl, I want to
to somebody living on a prayer along with many others.
What's odd is it after nineteen ninety key changes are
employed much less frequently. If it all and number one
hits yep. So if you want to mention that you

(01:54:24):
might have a good ear see, it's all be because
of the rise of hip hop and the growing popularity
of digital music production. Anyway, do you get in touched?
You on to talk about that? Eight away from eleven
five from eleven people? He's l twelve. By the way,

(01:54:47):
super typhoon hitting Asia as we speak, Hong Kong Airport's
closed for twelve hours. Marcus, where's the best place to
keep the spare key to your car? I never leave
the spare house ski outside the house. That's a bad idea.
The answer to that, where is the best place to
leave us? You get special? I know we leave a
spare key to your car at home and a drawer,

(01:55:10):
isn't it a lot of the new cars the key
you kick car can be accessed by your cell phone.
Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.
It's probably a good thing because you've always got yourselphone.
I guess we'll go to fingerprints before too long. I'm
just came up towards the news. Just let you know
two romance from twelve people. But if you want to

(01:55:34):
be a part of what's going on tonight, they'd be
great to hear from you. Some of the other stuff
that's happening around the world and around tonight that you
might want to mention digital driver's license before the end
of the year. And the scheme of things is that
such a must have two hundred. This week, ind is
the turnith anniversary of passenger rail the Stockton and Darlington

(01:55:59):
Railway that was the very first eighteen twenty five obviously steam. Yeah,
well it was the first railways. The Niversity of Railway
didn't become a passenger until eighteen thirty three, had actually
brought coal, So that's what's happening with the railway. So yes,

(01:56:28):
that's what happened. The Stockton and Darlington Railway is a
railway company that operated in Northeast England from eighteen twenty
five to eighteen sixty three. The world's first public railway
to use steam locos, I guess before that it was
horse drawn. It's line heated colories near children with Darlington
and Stockton and opened on the twenty seven September eighty
twenty five. The movement of Coltor ships rapidly became alucrative business,

(01:56:51):
and the line was still soon extended to a new
port at Middlesbrough. While coal wagons were haled by steam
locomotives from the start, passages were carried and a horse
drawn by coach until carriage hauled by steam locomotives were
introduced in eighteen thirty three. So there we go, tryingred
years of the railways. It's a big deal. Yeah, high people,

(01:57:14):
I'll be here till twelve Romance from twelve, Greetings and wealth.
We want to be on here. We are talking about
cruise ships and small towns and the fact that they
are not coming in the big numbers anymore. Is that
a good thing or a bad thing? I suggest, like
most things, it's a bit of both. The other story too,
it's goods for Luxen. They've done an official information request
for his text about the whole wedding of Taylor Swift

(01:57:41):
when he said that they'll welcome here, and he said
he got a text back from one of his friends
who said, passed it on and there's looking for passport.
They've asked to look at that and it doesn't well
it's not forthcoming, which is just a weird thing all round.
I wish he hadn't said it, and I guess he
wishes he hadn't said there. But anyway, I don't know
what people want to say about that. I guess it's
nothing to prove. He says it was a private email,

(01:58:04):
but I guess it's some that probably think where is
it didn exis? So you might want to mentioned that
also tonight. And talking about how old too young to drive?
Can you teach your kids in the backyard? Is that okay?
So you might want to mentioned that also tonight? Anything
else for the last hour. Someone's to know the best
place to keep your spare peak spare key for your car.

(01:58:26):
I think this plate. There's things you can get at
that with magnet boxes that go under the car. You
get them the surf shops. I think because the surfe's
like them haven't got pockets in their wetsuits.

Speaker 13 (01:58:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:58:39):
Marcus cruise ship visits to Australia down thirty five percent,
So this is not only in New Zealand issue. Marc
has just been texting with family in Hong Kong Retyphoon
on its way. People are panic buying in the supermarket.
Our daughter in law sent a photo of empty shelves
of the supermarket, no fresh food. Margaret. Thank you for that, Margaret.

(01:59:00):
I'll do a quick news search for Hong Kong and
using and see what's their people see what the news
in the last hour is not seeing alerts of panic buying,
not saying them. What you're saying is not true, because
I believe that is true. You're not seeing the panic buying.

(01:59:30):
But yeah, I believe that's probably a thing. Hello, Jane,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:59:34):
Hi they Marcus. J I learned to drive on the
Puxton Beach and when we were quite young. Of course,
you can drive along the beach and Dad used to
sit us one as knee and we'd do the steering

(01:59:54):
and eventually I need the scott long enough to reach
the pedals and change the gears and all that sort
of things.

Speaker 3 (02:00:04):
I was a lot of Some.

Speaker 2 (02:00:07):
I don't know about Foxton Beach is that you can
drive on at Foxton Beach and drive off somewhere else.
So you just go on and off at the one beach.

Speaker 10 (02:00:15):
Oh, I think it's just the one. I'm not sure
it's a proper ramp going down from the road and
it's a very concrete that goes right down to the sand.
So my dad used to fish off the beach. It's
a big long line so you could get all its

(02:00:36):
geared down. Me and PM and parked car on the beach.

Speaker 2 (02:00:40):
Okay, I've ever been on fox. I don't think I've
en't been on Foxton Beach?

Speaker 7 (02:00:47):
Were you?

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
Yeah, I presume having done that. You're quite young when
you got your license.

Speaker 4 (02:00:50):
Were you.

Speaker 10 (02:00:52):
High school?

Speaker 13 (02:00:53):
Fifteen?

Speaker 19 (02:00:54):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (02:00:54):
Yeah, my mother made me have driving lessons that trans
most offended about.

Speaker 2 (02:01:02):
Yeah, me too. Why don't your dad teach you? We
already had.

Speaker 10 (02:01:06):
Oh he's always too busy. That mom did the teaching.
And we came to a stop sign our way out
in the country, no traffic for miles, and I didn't
come to a dead stop, and she got most upset
with me. So I said, right, you're going after have
driving lessons. So of course I already knew how to drive,

(02:01:30):
and the instructor passed me straight off. He said, you
don't need let Okay, I didn't know what round about
were and we didn't have any enfarmers to know.

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
Oh no, I think they're quite a recent thing.

Speaker 22 (02:01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:01:46):
And so when I went to see a friend and
have lock north the ground about there, and I didn't
know how you went round it, and I went the
wrong way and it just happened to be a cop
sitting there on his motorbike, and I had a little
chat with me, and I said, well, I'm looking for

(02:02:07):
the street, and so he went and got his map
out and showed me how to get there, and said, well,
don't do it again, and off he went.

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
How many tickets of your head in your life? Jan
probably one? That one?

Speaker 10 (02:02:26):
I always get off because I had a legitimate reason
for rushing, and especially on the straight.

Speaker 2 (02:02:35):
What's your legitimate reason do you make? Does it change
from time to time?

Speaker 10 (02:02:43):
I was going on the streets around where is it,
right through the middle of the North Island and going
flat out, and the cop appeared out of nowhere and
he said, you know, what are you going so fast for?
I said, I've got pleurisy and I've taken painkillers and

(02:03:06):
we're off soon and I've got to get home before
they were off, and so I said, right, you better
get going then to good eat. Yeah, And that was
quite true.

Speaker 12 (02:03:18):
It's always quite true.

Speaker 2 (02:03:21):
Nice to hear from your gin. There we go. I
think we might go and hear from best. Your best
excuse is to get off for driving tickets. There'd be
a nice finisher for me. Let me know what they are.
I've never used that. I'm always rendered speechless if I'm
caught speeding up. That's not someone that I'm not really
someone that would actually think of something to say. Oh,

(02:03:42):
I don't think it's a very dignified thing to try
and get off a speeding ticket. But I'll be curious
thought what you've done and what you've said to get
off them. You might want to come through about that.
Also tonight and cruise ships, what about get in touch? Oh,
here we go. I also learned to drive on Foxton

(02:04:02):
Beach sixty years ago and my mother's nineteen thirty eight
Wolseley and my mum taught me too. Must have been
a thing like sisters and looking if I can for
news about Hong Kong, about the super typhoon. If you've
got some information about that, do come through. If you've
spoken to family, that's interesting to me. Panic buying thought,

(02:04:25):
they're saying, so yep, panic buying, as you would not
me but imagine people. I'm not a panic buyer because
I can understand the mentality of it. Not me though,
beginning of the end panic buying seventeen past and eleven,

(02:04:50):
I've started standing up. I think it sounds better. Actually,
I've done ten years sitting down miles better. And your
excuse is for getting off tickets. I've always thought it's
beneath me. But I'll be curious of yours, actually, particularly
if they work. I'm sure they would. Marcus, I'm seventy

(02:05:11):
five and I've got an excuse ready in case i
get pulled over for speeding. I'm getting a bit forgetful
of my old age. I have to drive really fast
before I forget where I'm going. Quite good. A few
years ago, I worked in the hospitality down the Awkland Waterfront.
Loved the cruise ships coming and they always tipped, especially
the Americans. Always ask the officer to show you there

(02:05:35):
reading on their device. I'm aware of a few occasions
where police didn't lock the speed read and then couldn't
prove it. Also, why you shouldn't answered, you know the
speed you were going, So the ways you've got off
speeding tickets, let's chuck that into the mix tonight. We'd
love to hear from you about that. Someone to text
he has said how young's too young to drive and

(02:05:58):
people said you can speak at teach a child any age,
as long as in your backyard. I don't know if
that's true. Would you ford of a look around that
online for me? Thanks? We just suspect it's not true,
but I'm also prepared to admit that it is true.

Speaker 15 (02:06:13):
If it is.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
Sound about Bobby each Wade. Isn't it anything else you
want to mention? You might have got the kids, the
grandkids for the school holidays or something like that, the
first day of them today, So come on, be in
touch if you want to be here till twelve. Anything
else you want to talk about. I can handle that tonight.

(02:06:36):
And Luxon and thea request for the details of the
text back about Taylor Swift, which he's failed to release
and said he won't release because it's a private email.
I don't know what you want to say about that,
but I'll be up for it at twenty past eleven.
Is anything Dan dances? I think, yeah, you've got to

(02:07:00):
be careful with AI stuff. But although sometimes they're probably right,
but just not enough to rely on. Can drive where
and when you like on private land with the permission
of the drive over even land, even if you're six,
so apparently it's true. Even if you're sex it's true.
Doesn't seem right to me, be in touch or anything

(02:07:21):
else you want to talk about tonight, and also cruise
ships Marcus. I'm a female who learned to drive at
the age of ten on my parents farm. Started with
feeding out in the farm truck. When I was allowed
to drive myself to and from school down a two
k public Shingle wrote the age of fourteen, my mother's
Morris eleven hundred manual car. They were the good old days,

(02:07:43):
fifty nine now it let's hear from you and the typhoon.
If you talk to people in Hong Kong twenty past eleven,
that's the big news international super typhoon is in Hong Kong.
There's panic buying. Learned that from a text door that's
a list to who texts a But someone could explain

(02:08:11):
to me about song key changes and why they don't
change anymore. I don't think I've ever detected a song
key change on the old standard topic about things that
can and cannot go into a dishwasher. Gos should much
better standing up doing the radio. I should do that
more often. But anything else you want the finalow, Let's

(02:08:32):
get it going. Let's get this one out of the way, people,
so I can go pen tomorrow night's show. Marcus Farm
kids drive all the time on their private land, but
not on public roads. Luxon's invitation to Taylor Swift makes
me feel really embarrassed, really cringe worthy. I thought that too.
With this team of seven social media people, it's embarrassing.

(02:08:57):
The policeman said to me after he pulled me up
for speeding up and waiting for you, I said to him,
I got here as quick as I could. He let
me off. I have strange reaction with a cop at
five rivers, but I just can't remember it. But it
was as awkward a conversation as ever had. It was

(02:09:20):
about the spelling of my name, and I wish I
could remember how it went. But yet it wasn't a
good moment. The only thing I can say is what
do you do? Here's this question for you.

Speaker 11 (02:09:34):
What do you do.

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
Where you need curtains to have new backing put on
them because curtain companies won't do it. They only work
with new material. So what's the secret to that? Do
you go and find someone on Facebook? Marketplace? Is that
the answer? I want to do a show on curtains.
I have a lot of I struggle with curtains. But

(02:09:59):
everyone can tell me how you get curtains relned. I
can't be theft around doing it myself. I find curtains
a difficult things to work with. Even rehannging them is
kind of always an ordeal. But you might have something
to say about that. Local cop and wannaka Murray, this
is the third time this week? Why what are we

(02:10:20):
going to do? Quick as a flash? I replied, how
about a written warning? He lost it and said, we've
all got to live in this town. Just slow down.
I said, I'll try very good, but yes, if you've
got I get ready to get curtains re lined? Is
it the word relining more lining that's put on them?
What's the answer to that? People, I've got no idea.
It's vexed me. I know you wash curtains in the bath,

(02:10:44):
but where do you get them religned? Who provides that service?
And why do most people not provide that service? For
a strong sunlight and bluff and it's terrible on curtains,
but they do need re lining. And yeah, so that
the leads I've gone down have provided nothing. So since
I've got the talking stick tonight, that could be a

(02:11:05):
good topic. I hope it's not a great topic otherwise
I wish i'd read about at eight o'clock. But if
you can mention curtains and what to do about those,
you know the text or call I'm not fussy tonight,
no mood to be fussy, but come through and it's
quite incorporated in the whole curtain fabric. Where the Yeah,

(02:11:27):
I'm sure I almost think there could be an easy
way that you can actually put them on the hawks separately.
The lining is that right? But as I say, I've
really got no clue. This is a cry for help
from me about curtains. If you can help me out
with that one. Got a lot of questions about curtains
and blackout curtains. So yeah, if you want to talk

(02:11:48):
about that, you could really help me with that. One
could be the topic of all time. Hello, Die, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (02:11:59):
Oh hi Marcus. About your curtains, mate, scot Light and
I think when crafts they've got it what's called a
detachable lining tape, right, that can be attached to any linings.
And there's so many amazing thermill curtain lining in there
if you can't have a chat to them, so basically

(02:12:23):
you can get continuous or cut the lengths. I think
continuous might be still available in curtain fabric blinding. I'm
not sure, but yeah, it does make a difference.

Speaker 2 (02:12:34):
And it's so so it's just tape that sticks to
the top of the curtain and you attack the lining
to that.

Speaker 25 (02:12:40):
No, it's stitched on, but it's very easy to attach.
You know, a child could do it on a sewing machine.

Speaker 2 (02:12:47):
But we've got a sewing machine, though you could.

Speaker 25 (02:12:52):
What I'm saying is if you go and talk to them,
the people in there will probably know a dressmake or someone.

Speaker 2 (02:12:59):
Or something to do and be something to do a
home job.

Speaker 8 (02:13:02):
Is that right?

Speaker 13 (02:13:03):
Yeah, there'll be.

Speaker 25 (02:13:03):
Lots of people who'll do it, even some I know,
I think Russells and Nelson. There's there's still lots.

Speaker 2 (02:13:10):
But would you have to would you have to unpick
the old place where the curtains where the backing was.

Speaker 25 (02:13:17):
Yeah, and that's actually easy enough to get off in
most cases, right, it's just knowing how I am ware.

Speaker 9 (02:13:23):
To do it.

Speaker 2 (02:13:23):
Yep, it's got quite a fit. It's got quite a
few if it's got four or five stitch yeah, okay.

Speaker 25 (02:13:30):
So the thing is if you go and have a chaptism,
often anyone who does sewing and stuff loves to do
that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (02:13:37):
Okay, that's pretly helpful.

Speaker 8 (02:13:38):
The beauty of it.

Speaker 25 (02:13:39):
The beauty of it is you can actually separate fabric
so that you can wash or dry clean or whatever.
But it really keeps things fresh and makes it easy
to put them.

Speaker 2 (02:13:50):
So I'll take the old lining off the back where
it's become tedty of the old backing, and then get
the curtains dry cleaned or washed, and then get new
stuff and put you backing on.

Speaker 25 (02:14:00):
Well, I would actually wash them first or or whatever,
depending on how big they are and how bad they are,
or else. If the lining's so bad, cut the lining
off and then wash it. Wash the curtain.

Speaker 2 (02:14:13):
When I cut the lining off, don't have to remove
all the stitching of whether the lining's attached to the curtains.
Wouldn't they just leave it?

Speaker 25 (02:14:19):
But so you've got enough to pull it off once
you it's a way of pulling it off. That's easy
to rip the stitching and stuff old. But if you
go into one of those shops, sure they will help you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:33):
Really really helpful. I thank you. I wish I ment
you this hours ago. Ginniett's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 22 (02:14:39):
Oh hi Marcus. You can actually buy separate lining to attach.

Speaker 2 (02:14:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:14:45):
Are your curtains? Are they got hocks on them?

Speaker 2 (02:14:47):
Yes?

Speaker 22 (02:14:49):
Yeah, And what you do is you buy them and
you put hocks and they get hopped in between what's
hocked up onto the crup.

Speaker 2 (02:14:56):
That's what I thought. That's what I thought. So I'd
need twice as many of those things, those roller coaster
things in the in the tracks. And yeah, okay that's perfect.
As soon as you're saying As soon as you're saying
that I can, it makes so much more sense.

Speaker 8 (02:15:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:15:13):
Yeah, you can get it from places like Spotlight Curtain studios.

Speaker 2 (02:15:18):
It's not going to be too much waiting on the
track because it's the same amount of weight, isn't it. Yeah,
So I get pre made backing and I just hang
it on every second hop between.

Speaker 13 (02:15:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:15:29):
Okay, I'm liking that a lot.

Speaker 22 (02:15:31):
Yeah, So it's just and a lot of them they're blackout. Yeah,
that adds a bit of weight to it, but no,
that's how you do it. You'd gin thetach it.

Speaker 8 (02:15:42):
You definitely do it brilliant.

Speaker 2 (02:15:45):
That saved all sorts of problems for me. Jenny, I
Live again, Tracy Marcus welcome.

I'm not a sewer on a cock, but okay.

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):

lowis Marcus.

Speaker 5 (02:16:52):
Welcome, I'm Marcus.

Speaker 13 (02:16:54):
Watching in a ring. I listened to all those ladies
telling you what to do. I'm just going to say,
so you cooting out and buy a new one.

Speaker 2 (02:17:01):
I quite like the color. Okay, I quite like the
and the curtains, but it's just that the it's just
the backing is to shred. So yeah, it's the situation.

Speaker 3 (02:17:13):
Yeah, well what.

Speaker 13 (02:17:14):
That's all I do when I when I because I
don't all my curtains, so I hang them up and
they're just hanging there.

Speaker 2 (02:17:27):
You mean you even let the light and you don't
let the light. And yeah, they always closed to always open,
always open. Oh heck, I thought you guys said there
always closed. Laura was gonna be upset by that. That's good, okay, no, no.

Speaker 13 (02:17:42):
No no, I don't close my now. I just hang
them up and leave them there.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
I thought you might be living in the dark.

Speaker 3 (02:17:50):
No no, no, no no.

Speaker 13 (02:17:54):
But I listened to all those bladies telling you what
good things to do. And well I shouldn't have rung up,
but in.

Speaker 2 (02:18:00):
Mind, appreciate it. Last oh yeah, appreciate it. Didn't watch
the women's You didn't watch the women's rugby, did you yeah,
I did killers pretty good?

Speaker 13 (02:18:09):
Eh, yes, ye're very good. They've played better than the
guys at the moment. I reckon.

Speaker 2 (02:18:19):
Thanks last twenty four to twelve, Dave. This is Marcus
good evening, good.

Speaker 8 (02:18:25):
Evening, Marcus Browner here in christ And I was just
going to mention Benrith. She looks like looking good for
five in a row.

Speaker 2 (02:18:36):
What's the point of even qualifying in the top four
this none really is there. If you're good and rested,
well that's it.

Speaker 8 (02:18:42):
That's it. And they've brought their way back, come back
like good horses, and what a professional effort they are,
and they're looking good.

Speaker 2 (02:18:51):
I think they've almost going to change the way people
are going to approach this beca it's a long season
and you're always going to get injuries and you need
to rest some of your players. They've done brilliantly to
have those given their players two weeks off and come back.
And they they're saying that Nathan Claire is the best
that's ever played.

Speaker 8 (02:19:06):
You go, I'd agree with that, and they you know,
the salary cap was actually meant to prevent this, But
then again, there's such a professional, well trained side. Yeah,
with Ivan Cleary and co. That they're just showing what
class they are.

Speaker 2 (02:19:28):
I watched the press conference. I watched the press conference
with Ricky Stewart, the Canvra coach. I mean that was
devastating because for them to for them to lose that
loss to the Broncos was just unbelievablehen they thought that
won twice and then you didn't get beaten by Cranulla.
You always seemed to be weak finishes. I mean that
was unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (02:19:47):
But awesome of Brisbane Broncos to come back like fought
back like they did with two on the sideline and
they just got their dander up and that was it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:56):
They It was quite interesting. I heard Pat Kerrigan, the
cat I think it was the cap of the time,
talk about it him and Bryce Welsh. They weren't even
watching the match. They were put in the changing room
where they couldn't see the match. They would just hear
the crowd cheering every time every time the other team scored.
Canbra scored, and they just said, hey, we can do this.

(02:20:17):
Let's go up, let's go out and win this. They
had a bit of a pep talk and exactly what
they did exactly.

Speaker 8 (02:20:23):
Good on them. I've give them me dues, but I
don't think they're going to be good enough to beat Penrith.

Speaker 2 (02:20:30):
No, no, but I've got some injury concerns. But yeah, look,
I just think it's a very exciting competition the way
this season. The end of season, you know, they've worked
it out, so it's four weeks and it's a great
four weeks. I love it.

Speaker 8 (02:20:46):
Yeah, same, awesome, Thank you, my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (02:20:49):
Nice to talk Dave. There we go nineteen to twelve.
Oh the good flurry. Marcus of Lux and made it
public about inviting Taller Swift here for the wedding. Why
is the replay reply email private? Yeah, I'm hearing you. Hello, Evan,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (02:21:04):
Welcome this good evening all.

Speaker 8 (02:21:08):
I'm just about the curtains that a couple of years time,
the front part will be worn out and you have
to go do it all again.

Speaker 2 (02:21:18):
I think the becking protects the front, but it's that
sort of strong sun that seems to destroy it.

Speaker 8 (02:21:25):
Yeah, they'll be getting worn out, mate, by the time
you do all the washing and wear them out a
bit more and take the backing off. All that money
you spend on taking the old ones apart, put a
new backing on. Yeah, you know, I think you might
be just better off to.

Speaker 2 (02:21:41):
Go the whole way, mate, You might be the voice
of reason.

Speaker 5 (02:21:45):
Well, I've done it.

Speaker 8 (02:21:45):
But I built a boat once, you know, and by
the time your bloody tear it apart, you think to yourself,
I could have built a new one by time of.

Speaker 2 (02:21:53):
Oh you didn't get ready to You didn't build a boat,
you rebuild a boat. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:21:59):
I did a full refer on a chattermolo steel craw boat.

Speaker 2 (02:22:03):
Oh yeah, you took it just down to the hull, Oh,
full sand.

Speaker 8 (02:22:07):
Blast inside them out and it replaced a lot of
plate because it was worn out, you know, crayfisher scratched
through the floor of the tanks.

Speaker 7 (02:22:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:22:19):
Did you pick it up from the chattams?

Speaker 8 (02:22:21):
Now somebody else brought it up from the Chattams. I
just picked it up by Victoria poking market.

Speaker 2 (02:22:26):
Actually was seaworthy.

Speaker 8 (02:22:28):
Not when I got it. I went on to went
onto a truck to Tierta to north and it sat
there for five years while I did it up in
between fishing.

Speaker 18 (02:22:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:22:37):
And then wasn't well cost your cost you twice as
much as you thought?

Speaker 3 (02:22:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:22:42):
There's a lot involved day sand blasting and painting. Oh,
it was a three hundred fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
Dollars job, cheap as creepers.

Speaker 8 (02:22:52):
Yeah, yeah, a lot involved what.

Speaker 2 (02:22:55):
Ultimately what ultimately happened to it?

Speaker 8 (02:22:59):
Well, I took over my father's boat and it was
a struggle to keep too. I kept two for five
years is odd, but it's coming too much?

Speaker 2 (02:23:10):
Do you sell it?

Speaker 3 (02:23:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:23:12):
I gave it away Marcus very much. By time, worn't
anything because why just repairs and maintenance and you know,
unless you know what you're doing with an older boat,
to get it fixed by somebody else's huge costs.

Speaker 2 (02:23:33):
There's a been a tough life for you fishing, has it?

Speaker 8 (02:23:38):
Oh it's good when it's flat car.

Speaker 2 (02:23:40):
Yeah, but you know.

Speaker 5 (02:23:43):
She's not.

Speaker 3 (02:23:44):
She's very stressful.

Speaker 2 (02:23:45):
But are you're still fishing now?

Speaker 7 (02:23:48):
No?

Speaker 19 (02:23:48):
No?

Speaker 8 (02:23:48):
Not my knees bugging?

Speaker 14 (02:23:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:23:52):
How long ago did you retire?

Speaker 3 (02:23:54):
I did? I went.

Speaker 8 (02:23:56):
After fishing. I did a bit of mooring, barging and
truck driver did that Northern Motorway.

Speaker 2 (02:24:03):
Oh yes, they've been out of it for a while.

Speaker 8 (02:24:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, a few years now. I just
did the old twenty five bucks now. But yeah, no,
I did, but on that Northern Motorway.

Speaker 2 (02:24:16):
But well work working on the Northern Motorway.

Speaker 8 (02:24:20):
Yeah, yeah, bulldozers, excavators or whatever they wanted me to
drive on the day.

Speaker 2 (02:24:26):
Are you one of those they drive anything, that's what
they say, drive anything.

Speaker 8 (02:24:29):
Yeah, I just got my I had to go get
my truck driver's license to go on there, So even
though we wereent actually on an open road, you went
and got that at forty six. I think it was
my first license at fifteen, the last license to forty six. Wheels, trekes, rollers.

Speaker 2 (02:24:48):
It's what they were saying, wheels, tracks, rollers.

Speaker 8 (02:24:52):
Yeah, you're going to get you can?

Speaker 2 (02:24:53):
Can you get your knee fixed?

Speaker 5 (02:24:54):
Evan?

Speaker 8 (02:24:56):
Well, my mooring barge operator didn't pay my ac seed. Well,
so what am I going to do?

Speaker 2 (02:25:03):
What need to happen? And are you on the waiting
list for an opper?

Speaker 8 (02:25:07):
Well, I've just started seeing this new doctor, so we're
just trying to get on top of the diabetes first
and then I take it worth of talk about that,
but yeah, not that, not that keen on hospitals that
had a bad experience Marcus.

Speaker 4 (02:25:23):
Did you.

Speaker 8 (02:25:25):
Yeah, anyway, we won't get into that too much.

Speaker 2 (02:25:29):
No, but at least the guy's got a plan and
that sounds good.

Speaker 8 (02:25:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, No, it's a lot more helpful than
what I've experienced before.

Speaker 2 (02:25:37):
Yeah, with his hope. Yeah, and maybe there's a maybe
there's a chance to go to the hospital not have
a bad experience.

Speaker 8 (02:25:44):
Yeah, well that would be a good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:25:51):
Yeah, that would be if you take care. Ay, nice
