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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be greetings and welcome, good evening. My name is
Marcus Hitdtor twelve o'clock and happily here looking forward to
your contribution tonight, aham, if you want to be a
part of the number is eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine nine two texts to Monday, so it'll be
Monday topics. What they are, well, you tell me, but
feel free to get involved. By the way, I who's

(00:32):
breaking news tonight. I don't know what that is normally
this time that it's normally road closures or quakes, earthquakes.
I'll be all across those. If that happens, you'll be
first to know. I do my damn just to keep
you updated what's going to happen the next four hours
till Roman comes along at twelve. I hope your weekend
was good. I hope your week's even better. I've probably
got three things I kind of want to allude to

(00:52):
and talk about tonight, and I'll put them in no
kind of scerning order. I'll pep them through the night's activities.
So well, I'm saying, if we start talking about one thing.
We're not going to talk about that all night unless
it's clocks. I went home on Friday night, good the
end of the end of the week's work, and I
thought i'll get it. Got home and I thought, I'll
quietly shut my car door. And normally I shut it

(01:13):
with quite a bit of gusto, but I think, well,
it's the end of the week, and I thought i'll
shut it quietly. So and in the press of cutting it,
shutting it quietly, cutting it shwietly, shutting it quietly, I
put my thumb between the door and the door frame.
Well that's a funny pain, isn't it. So now I've
got one of those nails which is red black, not
what she was going to fall off. It wasn't painful.

(01:34):
I've done that before. I'll tell you what I've done
my nail twice badly. I've done my nail on the
car when I've jammed it on the door. The other
time I jammed the door. I had one of those
houses that had those old kitchens with those of remove
read bins, no remove flower bins, and those flower bins
would there were bins that would pivot out, and I

(01:58):
put my thumb in that and I shlammed it shut.
And boy did that hurt? Boy did that hurt? Boy
did that hurt? At that stage, didn't know you're supposed
to drill a whole in an hour with a paper clips.
I didn't know that wisdom, But boy, that was a
sleepless night. This one wasn't bad at all, but it
came up and colored quite quickly. I was looking at
now wondering if the nail is going to go. And
I know, if you're a builder particularly, people used hammers.

(02:20):
Well now they use all these electric hammers, but when
they had, builders would just get a drill bit and
drill the nail through straightaway. Why am I telling you this?
I don't know. Maybe people who've got stories about shutting
their thumbs and things. What would be the other thing?
And shut your thumb in Quite often, I feel I've
done it more than twice. I'm just trying to visualize
when it happened. The flower bins, doors, doors at home

(02:40):
to around the house. I don't think we're going a
night out of that. I just happened to think about
that as I looked at my thumb. Well, that's right,
I forgot I've done that anyway. Text if you want
to nine two nine to to text or email, that's
good Marcus. At Newstalks, they'd be dot co dot ended.
But the main thing we concentrate on is the phone calls.
The first thing I want to talk about tonight, and

(03:02):
this is a probably, this is a this is a
topic that genuinely spot on for this time of the year.
And what I want a quick discussion about is servicing
and cleaning heat pumps because we are new heat pump owners.
Which is a shame because every time we had these
discussions in the past, I've never really listened. So I

(03:22):
thought today I wouldn't mind covering off because I know
people come out and so my understanding, right is people
will come out and clean your filters on your heat pump.
But that's a total fraud.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Because you just take the front off and vacuum him yourself.
Is that the right? If I got that right, If
someone could tell me about how to clean your heat pump,
I'd be very keen to know about that, because that's
part of the modern condition. I suspect it's one of
those things that you can service yourself. But they climb
to create work by doing that. If anyone can actually
tell me about that, that would be of a great
deal of interest to me. So that is heat pumps

(03:57):
and the cleaning of heat pumps. That's the first thing
I want to talk about tonight. Each she reminds tuned
to much too much carry Bradshaw. But anyway do you
get if you want to talk eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine two nine d txts. So the first
thing is cleaning heat pumps. Why would you need to
get someone to look at it? Do you want to
have a good answering that, yes, please do? Or text

(04:18):
that that's an important one. And shutting your thumbs the
objects you've jammed your thumb and the more gruesome the better. Oh, anyway,
get in touch, oh eight hundred eighty tenny and nine
two nine two to text what you've spanned your thumbing
and heat pumps and cleaning of them or heat pump

(04:40):
servicing is the correct name for it. Oh yeah, Phil
boarded already that's the way we like to go. Get
in touch, Marcus Till twelve oh eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine two nine two to text your hi, Ben,
this is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Here.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
You get them, Marcus. We probably do a heat pump
because we use it in the summer tom as well
on the heat and ditioning. We probably just clean up
once every three months and you just open it up,
pull the slides out, give them a vacuum, and I've
got the eak compressor and the shed, so I'll run
the hose inside and just give it a quick blowout.
And you never had an issue.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
But when you say the slides, are there more than
one or is there just one?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
That depends what he pump you've got like Elser's got to.
They go in the same area, but they just cut together.
It just side those out of vacuum them. And you
just thought I tend to we get in the ear
compressor not right in there, but give it a quick
blowout because there's quite a bit of stuff that just
you know, gets up in there and you can't get

(05:43):
from just vacuuming.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
So you don't wash them in soapy water.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Well, you know, it depends how long you've left the buckets.
You know, if you're only if you're regularly doing it,
you shouldn't need to.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So why would people get someone to come out of
man with a letter.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Well, you know, so maybe some people can't excess it
or don't know what they're doing. But it's really simple.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's incredibly simple, isn't it. But they seem to keep that.
Don't seem to make a song and dance about that.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
No, Well, you know, you get someone out to clean
the probably it takes some ten minutes and charge one
hundred and fifty bucks.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Especially out in a different and tad like I am. Okay,
good advice, Ben, thank you, Chyenne. It's Marcus. Welcome, good evening,
I know, Marcus. How are you going good, Cheyenne?

Speaker 6 (06:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Good, you're dumb?

Speaker 8 (06:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
I get my hate pumps serviced every six months.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So what do they do all they do?

Speaker 7 (06:32):
I've got my big lad's heat pump. I've got two filters,
and all I did to cut down and they just
unlifted the lid from the top and take the two
filters out and vacuum them out.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Okay, km out, Okay. How much do they charge for that, Cheyenne?

Speaker 7 (06:51):
You don't have to wash them?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
How much do they charge? How much do they charge
for your two filters?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Ah?

Speaker 9 (06:59):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Yeah, yeah, Now because we're still on the boundry. You say, nice,
it's it's going to tenue wanting on it.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Marcus, that's what we want to hear. I don't think
that's service part of the warranty, but you might have
a special circumstance metthew good evening, it's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay, I can't believe you've got heat pumps. Marcus, you're
down there. Why haven't you got a fire?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, we have got a fire. We've got two fires. Yeah,
but I've got to imagine things to get so we
can talk about stuff, right.

Speaker 10 (07:34):
No, no, no, fair enough.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
You've got to come up with topics.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, if I left it, I mean the way
we live anyway, there's not much to talk about anyway.
So I've got to bring stuff to it, to the equation.
And it might be it might be a hypothetical family.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Because we've got both too. We've got the fire and
we've got two free heat pumps. But yeah, it's just
a vacuum and like they sell it, like they clean
the out or unit. They just check it's not blocked
or got vegetation around it. We just vacuum. I just
vacuum the filters out.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
So Matthew, it's a total rot, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's an absolute rot, absolute rot. And just if you
can get in there with a wet like a wet
sponge or like a damp cloth and just wipe out
all the dust that clicks in there. And they've got
those guards. Like there's some foam filters and absolute rat.
I don't even know why the heat pump people put
them in there because they don't do jack diddle, what's.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
The foam for? Where's the foam? I haven't seen the foam.
I haven't looked for a long time.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
So if you pull some of the newer heat pumps
have like these micro band filters in the center.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
But yeah, absolute raw. What you say they have a
micro filter in the thinner what's the thinner?

Speaker 4 (08:53):
No, in the filter in the filter, like there's a
there's a little sponge and like a little ribbed sort
of filter. But yeah, just just tap them out.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Okay's the question. How do you know that? How do
you know you're filter your heat pump needs cleaning.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Because well you'll see it. You'll see it like it
gets there is like, yeah, particles in there, like skin
and dust, and like because it.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Is that your skin, it is skin.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
It is it is, Yeah, flakes of skin and hair
and particles and all sorts of yeah, micro fibers.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
But yeah, someone someone someone told in thirty days, we're
a different person completely because all our cells have replaced themselves.
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, And they're in the heat pump.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Exactly, So it's like it's like Grandma's eshes.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yes, yes, but yeah, no, it is a rat. It
is an absolute rot. Those people that sell like it
is about one hundred and fifty bucks. I hadn't done once,
and I thought, I've.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Never here we go, here we go.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
So you're the idiot, because I thought when I had the.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Heat, I want to get your money back.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
But then the mate are going to mate his who
installs them And he said, nah, just just give the
every now and then vacuum it out. It's all good.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, that's right, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, so that's all you need and then forget. Yeah
you can wash it, but then you've got to drive
the filters out in the some just just drive them out.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
What I do know is because we've got the stupid
unit outside, because we live in a because we live
in a marine, an extreme marine environment, because where it
blows a howling gown and it's salt. Yeah, yeah, you've got,
you've got it was interesting enough and bluff. The stuff
that doesn't rust is the stuff that's outside and the
rain will wash it away. The stuff that rusts if

(10:50):
you if you put a bike in the shed, it'll
rust because the sol if you leave a bus out
a bike outside, the water will clean it and will
it won't rust. Is't that interesting?

Speaker 4 (11:00):
That is very interesting? But yeah, maybe just hose your
outdoor filters because yeah, yeah I can. Yeah, just give
him my hose down. But yeah, don't worry about because
they come around with this spray and like foaming spray
and then try and sell.

Speaker 11 (11:16):
It to you.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
But yeah, as long as it's got no vegetation around it,
it's off the floor, off the ground and vacuum here. Yeah,
it'll run for another fifteen or twenty years.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
You could probably have your own talk back show, like
on a Sunday morning, like Home Heating with Matthew. You'd
be good. You got a kind voice, free understanding nineteen
past eight, call it through if you want to hit
on midnight? Allan, what are you doing?

Speaker 12 (11:41):
I'm just finished drilling a hole through his finger as
you started your show. I was reaching for the candle
and the needle and about to sit the place a light.
And so when I'm finished, I'll give Marcus a call
and tell them what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So what did you do with the candle?

Speaker 11 (12:02):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (12:03):
Well, you can put the needle on the hot plaid.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, I see so so, But but this is to
do with your your thumb?

Speaker 12 (12:10):
Well, actually it's probably my index finger on my left hand.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, I heard that you go for a paper paper
clip because the end of the wire is flat as
a needle, as tapered, and that was a better thing
to go through.

Speaker 12 (12:23):
I've done it before, and I prefer a needle. Well
you do we end up with those a very throbby finger,
terrible terrible well, and then but you know you've drilled
far enough when it hurts.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
So how did you gone? How did you do your thumb?

Speaker 12 (12:38):
I've whacked it with a stick of wood, and you
know you see stars for a second or two? Could
you tell your turns?

Speaker 11 (12:50):
Blue?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Could you tell me what you're doing? Or you're too embarrassed?

Speaker 12 (12:53):
Oh you no, no, no, no, I was was driving
in a garden stake of all things, you know, And
I said I just hold it with that hand and
I'll whack it with the other hand. And there you
were out. That's as easy as that. And that was today,
Well it was at two o'clock. The stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Now, I'm and please directing so quickly. So you've waited
six hours? Did you think I'll wake till.

Speaker 12 (13:13):
I was sitting on the couch. I think this is
going to give me trouble later on.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
So have you tried the candle or are you're doing the.

Speaker 12 (13:21):
I've done it. I've done it. I sit for every
finger with the hot needles. Yeah, the nail turns smoking black.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
So you you heat the nail because it's almost like
a wax and it melts your nail. Is that that's
the nail is not.

Speaker 12 (13:38):
Like a wax at all. It's it's the same stuff
as you're.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Here, what creatin. So, but you're not heating the nail
for disinfected.

Speaker 12 (13:47):
Burning a hole through the nail with a hot needle, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
So you are kind of burning. You are kind of
burning it and then blood comes out, doesn't it.

Speaker 12 (13:57):
Well that's if it hasn't dried in the meantime.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Okay, yeah, so will you now make the hole wider?

Speaker 13 (14:06):
No?

Speaker 12 (14:06):
I'll leave it alone. I've had enough of her groven up.
You can only inflict so much pain on yourself before
your brain picks.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
And you must have been surprised that that was my
topic for tonight.

Speaker 12 (14:18):
I was delighted. Finally I've got something to talk to
the man about.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Nice stuff, which is she's been a strong start. I
wondered the other ways, And I know, pre fixing bikes,
I've done it probably ten times. I don't remember only
two times. With that memorable mind. You was children, you
always had stub toes and things. We don't the kids
have that so much anymore because crocks which are probably
quite sensible for children.

Speaker 8 (14:41):
Yet murray, So before I get going on page the
thing on salt because they lived in will they just
sold the roads. The best advice I ever heard when
I was in France was, if you've got a car
or the cars which survive longer when they salt the
roads withinter When there's lots of snow and ice around

(15:03):
and you know, sort of muddy sort of snow, getting
your wheel arches its Basically you park it outside. But
those who prefer a heated garage, for example, will then
have a warm salt, mush, snow inside the inside, right,
and that heat plus moisture is the one which eats

(15:25):
your car, so that the more that you're out in
the cold, the less reaction there is, and your car
will last longer.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, and the more wet it gets on the top,
I'm sure that's it's fresh water, the salts washed away.
And okay, that's right.

Speaker 8 (15:42):
It's your second biggest is after your house, and there
a car won't last ten years.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
After your house, after your house and your macarn. But yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
Yeah, And so that's that was pretty interesting. But I
had eighty months old cars. What happened roughhold through the
wheel actions before I got onto it and sort of
twigged them about getting.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Back to what happens to people and duff were people
in Bluff want to sell their car, they drive up
to Queenstown to set it on the side of the road.

Speaker 14 (16:12):
Car.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, exactly one day forever to watch that anyway.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, trust you can't trust you.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Have done your thumb, have you?

Speaker 8 (16:23):
I have? I've wet is best because of this archery.
I was loading up wood once in through a cold
winter's night, and I had a good down g O. D.
St which is the top load and the top lid
because it's a cylinder right about the beach high about
half meter wide. Yeah, so you top loaded with quite

(16:47):
long links, you know, like half my lins. And I
dropped the lid on my son, you know, Hed at
the time. Hed at the time went to bed about
one am. It's like shrub shrub, shrub troub with each heartbeat, right,
the only thing you world which exists is your throwing thumb.

(17:07):
Had to do something about it, work with girlfriend. Your
father is a GP like dr don mny drove out
of the road and yeah twelve k yeah, got to
my late tweeties. Even doing something like this, it was
really your world, your whole world.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I know the pain did the bread, but it was
out yet anyway, Yep.

Speaker 8 (17:27):
It's the same deal. And you got the drill out
and draw the whole myself from instant relief, you know,
the blood split it out and it was fresh and everything.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
What sort of bit did they use on the drill?

Speaker 8 (17:40):
Oh, I think it was pretty small, but you know
you can hear it going. But like drawing, you got
the drill out, you know, So I'm kidding, you know,
because I'm draw a whole the thumb and being there
it was we went their cover, which sleep. Thank God
for that.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
It just shows how amazing things nails are, because I'm
sure if we didn't have nails would smash our thumb
bones daily or yearly. It does though, right, Ah, flicking
hurts because you're right. Every time your heart beats, it
goes right through your body and right to that film.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah, it's it's akness.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, okay, I'm hearing you married. Did you lose the nail? No,
it's always touched. I don't quite know what you want
to lose the nail, but you do ultimately you do. Anyway, welcome, Well,
that's a busy half hour through. My job's almost done. Tonight,
get in touch Marcus till twelve oh eight hundred eighty

(18:37):
ten eighty and nine two nine to the text here
the end, the bitter end are romance from midnight. How
good were the wallabies? Eh? Anyway, do get in touch
if you want to talk, as I say, oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two about
interesting ways you've wrecked your nail. Yeah, I guess that's
a question. Keep thanks, then, to keep your calls coming.

(19:00):
Through eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty nine two nine
to detext mark is still twelve looking forward to what
you want to bang on about today. But he's abou
hitting your thumb or fingers. You do your toe as well,
but don't do that as often, do you. I don't
think I've never had the throbbing or not in recent
memory of the old throbbing toe. The t t the
throbbing toe. Get in touch, Marcus, till twelve. There will

(19:22):
be texts. There will be texts Area eight hundred and
eight a year, Paul, Marcus good evening.

Speaker 11 (19:27):
The heat pumps. Yeah, well, there's plenty of trade secrets
that rip people off. All you have to do is
take the fielders out probably and soak them in ice.
So if you didn't want to dry them out or
soak them in brown debthole and get all the crap
out of them and dry them out of it and
put them back, I think you can.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Just vacuum them.

Speaker 11 (19:50):
Yeah, but does it Probably doesn't get the brown under
the crap out of them. Maybe. I don't know much
about heat pumps, but no.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
But what's interesting is, Paul, you don't know much about
heat pumps, but you thought you'd ring.

Speaker 11 (20:04):
Yeah, but I do clean alters and I don't buy
new filters. I just cleaned them in.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
That were you coming across. I don't come across many filters.
Are you filters in cars? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (20:16):
I just clean clean them and brown dead.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Or are you a mechanic?

Speaker 11 (20:23):
Well, I wasn't born yesterday. I've learned, you know, Bush,
I've learnt. I've got you know, I've got a lot
of knowledge.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
And I know on outback out back gold miners. Once
they've changed the petrol and do everything else, the last
thing that there was always clean, the clean the filters,
and then the engine seems to start.

Speaker 11 (20:47):
It's a dusty climate over there, to.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Tough on, tough on machinery. Gold mining over there. Spent
half the time fixing gear that breaks down.

Speaker 11 (20:56):
Very fine, I'd say, clay dust, the terrible that red soil.
But yeah, that's all you have to do. Or and
uh the heat pump spog here.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'll bring a good call for you, Paul, thank you,
But paulse at the end, they're twenty seven to nine, Marcus.
I've done my toenails a few times lately. I do
a lot of walking. I just drill a hole in
them to release the pressure. Just annoying because they watch
I prefer to look at my phone for the time.
They must get someone else to do it. I don't
have much advice for people going into the outdoors or tramping,

(21:34):
but I always do say if someone's tramping, haven't been
for a while, always cut your nails. Nothing worse than
going downhill. If your nails are slightly too long, that's
when you do yourself at service with your feet. You
won't so much get the black thing, but it, yeah,
is bad anyway. I don't know why I said that.
A good service for a heat pump is removing the
entire plastic housing to expose it in metal fins. Then

(21:56):
spray the unit with a whole bottle of spray and white.
Then clean the metal fins with a Bizzel pressure ride
steam cleaner tool. I do this once a year as
I smoke cigarettes inside. Good on you for sticking strong
to that. Don't many people still smoking inside? Marcus, I
cut my thumbnail on a band saw cutting frozen lamb chops.

(22:17):
I nearly fainted. Haha. Thanks Tony, love your show man.
Regarding topic creep, what are you worried about people enjoying
random conversations going in random directions. Cheers. I'm not worried
about tropic topic creep. We're just warning other people if
they're worried about topic creep. Jammed the thumb in the
card or On the morning of the Brothers wedding, pressure
built up so much under the thumb had to get

(22:38):
groomsmen to drill nail let pressure go instant relief. Tim
from Four Peaks Woodbury was wearing jandles on a wet,
dark night and slipped down the stairs outside while putting
their recycling in the bin. Slipped and kicked my right
big toe against a concrete step. Hurt like hell, and
wentually it went black and fell off. Oh, this is
a rich, rich vein this More texts after the break.

(23:02):
So a lot of people done interesting things to their thumbs.
And what's the giant what's the big toe? Called the
big taste? Not a word like thumb? Has it like
we say thumb? We don't say big finger yet we
say big toe. Is there a special word for a
big toe? Someone will text me about that. Marcus. I
was hit on the middle knuckle of my index finger
by a stone, kicked up my lawn mower. I was

(23:25):
hit on the middle knuckle of my finger index Marcus.
I was hit on the middle knuckle of my index
finger by a stone kicked up by my lawn mower.
It wasn't broken, but after a couple of days very
painful and swollen. Doctor said it was infected antibiotics. Walking
about with fingers sticking out straight, of course, then managed
to slam that finger in car door, ouch blacknail and

(23:48):
split the flesh open on bat of finger. Saw finger
for two weeks. My nail eventually came off. That is
a horror story there. That's like Edgar Allan Poe. That's
a horror story there. In forty words? Is it forty words?
Dan might be fifty. We've got a word count. Took
a course industrial sewing. The machines were fast. A woman

(24:10):
sewed through her finger and nail the eighty one words.
They took the needle out of the machine. Edie dealt
with a finger and a needle through it. Next day
she came to class with a huge bandage. Brilliant. We're
talking about hitting your thumb with things thumb horror stories.
But when the nail goes black, if you've got one

(24:31):
of those stories. This is the show. Yeah, welcome, My
name is Marcus good Evening hndled twelve eight hundred and
eighty eight to eighty nine two nine to keep those emails.
And also so it's hitting your thumb with something and
heat pumps. Marcus drilled my nail one light, drilled my
nail one night and the drill went straight through the

(24:52):
finger and out the other side. That was an eye opener.
Hot pin is better. Well. I always always told you
should use a paper clip because it's fed at the end.
You hardly need to serve as a heat pump. I
normally popped the front cap rop pop up the field
to give them a vacuum. And that you're onto it.
Marcus ironstall heat pumps for a job, amongst other things.

(25:14):
What would you store them amongst heat? And store heat
pumps for a job among other jobs? I get it.
Cleaning a heat pump is as simple as cleaning out
your dryer filters, A vacuum cleaner and a wet cough
Thats all you need. We are more than happy to
give you a bill for one thirty to clean your
heat pump, if you would make it, If you would
like it's easy money. Best way to watch a YouTube

(25:35):
video on how to clean your heat pump if I
sure's fantastic tech Zac, thank you, it's the answer. I
feel we could do this annually. We could do the
heat pump story and the sweeping the chimney story. If
you got a toe story for me, Kenneth, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, I am. Actually I was doing a dem a
job and I kicked a piece of concrete and I
split the top of my big toe, split the nail
straight down the middle, and it's like literally split in half,
turned black and like literally peeled. One side peeled away
first and disappeared, and that then the other side kept

(26:14):
hooking on the sock and on the inside of my
shoe all the time. So I had to stop wearing
shoes and they had to stop work for a week
until that other side of the tone now actually split
off and then I could bandage it up properly and
go back to work. It was, yeah, quite painful for
about a week.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Did you have steel cap boots on Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, that's that's the point that it is actually funny.
I had steel cap boots on it, and I think
that's what made it worse. That I kicked the concrete
and then I kicked the inside of the steel cap.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Boot as well, so the steel didn't concave, it just came.
And maybe there's size too small or something.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, I think I actually, I think I actually had
a size too big on because a bit loose, but
I was sort of shimming around.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
And then in the nail group. It takes a long
time for the nail grew back. It takes about four
or five months, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, it took ages. So yeah, six months before
I actually had a full nail, like you could actually
cut again.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
So when you could have you just slipped the other
nail off with that that have been too painful the
half an hour, could you have chopped it off?

Speaker 5 (27:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
No, you couldn't be still attached.

Speaker 15 (27:15):
It was really really quite a sensitive.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Like you didn't even want to you didn't even want
to knock it because it was like pain.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Okay, And then the shefter. You probably had the little
little shelter of your foot when you're sleep because the sheep.

Speaker 16 (27:27):
Yeah, you just think your foot out, Like.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
When you've got gout, you've got to build a little
build a little foot foot house. I haven't had gout
Where do you get gout from? Do you get from
drinking or meat? I'm never quite sure, but I'm not
in that I'm not at risk of gout, that's for sure.

Speaker 14 (27:53):
Well.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I was reading an article the other day about cluster
headaches and pain and migrains. They say it's one of
those great you know, one of the great pains up
there with gout. So yeah, and the pain scale it's
pretty high up old gout, gout, out, let it out?
How are you going? People? Welcome? Hold your horses? Wrong
with your son to nine ron, This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 17 (28:17):
Many many years ago, my sister and I and parents
went down to stay for a holiday on my grandmother's farm,
and we were exploring out the back of the farm.
We came across an old windmills to fallen over and
I was touching the cogs and examining it pre scientifically

(28:39):
and said, this goes this one. So and my sister
grabbed hold of the wrong arm of the windmill and
turned it and got my mushed inside the cogs clogs
of the windmill. I went screaming up to Grandma and
told her all about it. But Grandma knew all about
medicals stories she got a bottle of metalated spirits and

(29:02):
pour it all over it, and of course it strung
like mad, and then she banged it up and then
she took a bang it off. Now again staid m
over the next two days and we're still hurting a lot,
but a little bit more mess here we go. Now,
I have got that finger. It is banana shaped, and

(29:22):
it's been very much an awkward finger to have for
certain reasons, particularly say, when you're trying to die of
a cell phone. It's because of banning. We miss on
all the time and not there. So it's look as
it might now say, oh your poor finger out.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
It's you say, it's the index finger on a big
a pardon it's the index finger.

Speaker 17 (29:45):
Now a thinker next to the thumb.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Oh yeah, what's that called? Yeah, okay, I think that
is the index finger. So it's like a banana. I'm
just trying to think, yeah, okay. And much pain or
the pain left, It just doesn't been much.

Speaker 17 (29:59):
There's no pain now, but the pain was very very
intense for a few days, and of course which she
didn't take us seat the doctor. We're out in the country.
But your wall a bottle bottle metal ticket.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
No, thank you you forgave your sister. I had to
good answer, in fact, the only answer. Twelfth twelfth from
nine Marcus to me that a lot of great texts
mainly about thumbs. Sure, a lot of great text about thumbs.
Jeepers cheapers write a book on this. Hold your horses.

(30:35):
Thanks Ron. Rip my thumbnail out when working on a
metal laith the sandpaper grabbed it and plucked it clean out.
They said it would never go back because I had
roots at the bottom. After about two years it grew back.
It began to grow back perfect. Now pain scale, what

(30:59):
is the pain scale of city lightest? I've heard's very painful,
But when I get it, I've never had pain. Sarah.
The other day waged school nineteen fifty out, decided to
do some sewing on my grandmother's treddle machine. I drove
the needle into my thumbnail and pulled my hand back
at the same time, mess wish I'd gone to school.
It really dates a text when someone says they wagged
school to mess around on their grandmother's treddle sewing machine,

(31:22):
doesn't it Because I can't reane it happens much now,
I don't think people wag school anymore? Do they think
it's optional? It's attendants optional, is it? Do we hear
about people wagging school? Fine, you don't see the school
kuds smoking in the uniforms like you used to. What's
that about?

Speaker 11 (31:38):
This?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Breaking news will happen here. We're talking about hitting your
thumb with things. If you've done that, we're here for you.
It's important for us. I wait one hundred and eighty
to eighty nine nine two to text. We're all about that.
Get in touch here till twelve. Anything else you want, brilliant,
let's be hearing you. Keep those emails coming in also tonight.

(32:02):
But yeah, it's only hitting things, injuries of your thumbs things.
Zolenski is seeing Trump sometime today. But that's becoming complicated,
isn't it. But yes, we'll keep your data. But if
you want to call on, are be good to hear
from you? Heat pump cleaning and hitting your thumb they're

(32:24):
gone quite on. Butter Ah, you notice that half a
world away Terrence Stamp has died. Will remind you of
some of his movies and TV shows. I mentioned people.
But yes, if you got to be on here, it's
about hitting your thumb and cleaning your heat pump. It's
or on tonight. If you want to add or something

(32:45):
else you want to mention. Good Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine twine to text. Keep those texts
coming through, All texts gratefully received.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
You.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't really know how the pack because the thing
I don't like about the pain scale. The pain scale
only works if you're experienced ten pain. Otherwise you don't
know what the scale is. It must be a great
useful no diagnostic took because they're always using it. I
reckon a pain scale would better if they actually did
something to said that to ten and that's an eight.
What's that fell like? So you've got something to compare
it to. It's just me five from nine. If you

(33:23):
want to call quickly before the news, that would be great.
It's all about injuries you've done to your toe or
your thumb or your halls, which is your big toe hablax.
The big toe is called the halls and the big
finger is called the thumb. Yeah, yeah, so that's happening.

(33:44):
Oh eight having eighty eight nine nine two detext. If
you want to come through by the way they wreck
it's the end of the crocs, and they reckon it's
the end of the crocs because they've made overseas. They're
important to America, so the tariffs have affected them. But
plenty of people have ruled the death of the croc
before and they've always come back last, forever, incredibly comfortable.

(34:05):
Although we've had a lot of people that have slipped
in them. I don't know what to say about that,
but yes, do get in touch. You want to add
to the show, so it'd be nice to hear from you.
Oh wait under eighty ten eighty in nine two nine
two to text. Thanks for those texts too, last sailing
of Ara Tees, it's already happened, the last sailing of that.

Speaker 11 (34:27):
Well.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I've had my thumb drilled and it hurts right out
of tenants out there, but I've also had manaingiitis. It's
off the chart and you can die. We move on. Yeah,
fifty years ago, a heavy wooden red hair dropped on
a big toenail. Strong member of being approached in a
and e strong memory of being approached on a docked
with a huge, thick, long needle to put under the
full length and nail with anesthetic fromove the nail there

(34:48):
every painful needle going in. I hit the wrong nail
when on a building course, held nail under the cold
tap until recold, then wrapped a package of frozen vegetables
around it, kept the nail under. The blood corrode the
inside of the nail. Others on the course then that
hamd't and nail drilled it and lost the nail. Here
we go industrial extent chat and it's here for me.

(35:09):
If you want to add to this toe injuries and
to horrors, that's the topic for tonight. What do you
got people? What have you done to your toes? What's
the worst thing you've done to your toes?

Speaker 14 (35:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Eight hundred and eighty Tenayan nine two nine to the text,
looking forward to your calls. Feel free to come through
as I say, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten Eightyan
nine two nine to text. Also heat pumps, that's the
great winter discussion today. What are you done to them?

Speaker 15 (35:33):
Well?

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Now, what have you done to the what's the key
to cleaning them and not being exploited? Great text. I'll
get to those in two texts. Todd, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 13 (35:47):
Hi Marcus, how are you good, Todd, thank you.

Speaker 15 (35:50):
I've just got part.

Speaker 13 (35:52):
Back from your part of the world. I've done in
c oh yeah, up the eye of alley.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yes, were you holidaying there at the pub or no?

Speaker 13 (36:03):
No, no visiting visiting uncle who looks down there and
he just needed a hand dropping chopping wood. The local
council cleared the head the river. Not the money money
mania kuda, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
That's the one one again, Todd. Was the lake float
frozen over? Were they? Were they doing.

Speaker 13 (36:28):
No at all this winter? But just last weddingesday. So
I got back on Sunday. But last weddingess day was
about minus minus eight at about nine am, and I
went past the lake and half of it had frozen,
but just just sort of the top of the lake frozen.
I was so very cold, but no, we we. I
cracked into a lot of chains throwing these big trees
that had come out of the council removed other river.

(36:49):
But when he dropped, when it dropped the law of
my right toe, even though I had books on, and
I've lost two tonails to two tone tonails off that toe.
Now I'm about to lose a third and apparently that's it.
Our body doesn't give us any more than three nails. Yeah, yeah,
so I'm talking to you. Haven't look at it now.

(37:10):
It's not looking pretty set. It's going to go in
a few days time, and that might be me.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Are you saying you've done it twice before?

Speaker 13 (37:18):
Yeah? Yeah, I haven't had very good haven't had a
lot of luck with looking after my feet. I'm a
big weaar of crocks too.

Speaker 14 (37:25):
I love my crocks.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
If they started marketing steel toad truck crops should be right.
Did you drill your nail through? Did you drill a Hollywood?

Speaker 13 (37:35):
Yeah, you've given a bit of a pretidant relief and
a bit of done, a bit of the blood tripped
in behind. It wasn't a lot there to begin with.
So yeah, but if anybody else knows that they've lost
more than three toes off one big nail, let me
know if you've got a fourth. But from a couple
of doctors I've spoken to you said no, no, that's.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
A lot, so it must all be in the backed
up was something I'll find out more about that, Todd.
Thank you, Britt, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (38:01):
Yeah, evening, Marcus, lovely top it. I haven't done that
for a long time. Stub Mater Roman sandals being push
not a good just before he game were the same age,
we would have won the same sandal even walking run.

(38:23):
The things that slip at the front and.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
W have falled down underneath, wouldn't they.

Speaker 10 (38:29):
Yeah, your pushbike?

Speaker 13 (38:33):
Have you lost?

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Have you lost? Been in nails? Had to drill through them?

Speaker 10 (38:38):
Oh I funny you say that, being a mechanic knocking
pinsy adeable truck bushes. I've hit my nails the line,
but I've been too skied to drill it. I just
suffered the do you.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, because once you've drilled, Once you've drilled it, you'd
never not drill it because the release of pain is
so instant, it's extraordinary.

Speaker 13 (38:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Well, if you just if you just hit up a
paper clip and just what's beck and forwards?

Speaker 10 (39:08):
I tried to eating up a needle, but yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yeah, I didn't find every painful at all.

Speaker 10 (39:13):
Bread and basically hitting the top of your head really
with your thunge goes on and you're sitting it with
a little three pounds sammer.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
What's the mechanic doing with a three pounds sea gammers.

Speaker 10 (39:27):
Knocking out bushes on tracks.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
What is a bush?

Speaker 10 (39:33):
A bush is a brass collar type thing that goes
in the in the frame and then you got to
steal stainless pin that goes through it, and it might
be holding your springs. Yeah, they're usually brush brass, stainless thingless.
Don't rust beck In the old days you had to
ring them. You had to sharp eat sharp blades and
you adjusted happened atle their time and you just.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Because we're also like a boulter and that isn't it?

Speaker 10 (40:00):
What's that a rema? A bush? No, it's one was
it's a brass a toilet rolls and probably spring mills.
And you're not the only one out which is usually
half bothered. Greece and Eple.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Okay, there are two things that I've learned about. The
bottom big to called a Halex Alex Hall Lux due
to snow, Highway eights closed been fairly and Lake Poukucky
road user advised to avoid the year of delay their journey.
Next up that will be at ten a m fairly
and Lake Poukucky. I need to look at that on
the map because it looks like it's quite a long distance.

(40:40):
It's not the Linders. Oh no, not the Linders. That's
the Burke's Pass I think, isn't it. So it's through
Takapaw or Takapaw I think it's called these days on
Lake Pukacky. So yes, the South fine, it was quite
sunny today. It's a bit of worrying. Now. What I
don't like about living in South and there's a misconception
building it's snowing and if it's snowing and wet and

(41:02):
the Canterbury it must be three times worse in Vicago.
It's not always case. We've had a very very moderate,
mild and dry winter. So yes, we might talk later
on about the misconceptions of the people's misconception of your region. Carrie, welcome, Hi, Hi, carry.

Speaker 8 (41:27):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (41:28):
I have I'm a diabetic and I have neuropathy, so
it means that like the nerves and my seat and
legs are dying essentially. And I got to cut at
the bottom of my toe and it turned into an
ulcar that got infected and ate at the bone of
the joint, oh of the toe, And then I had

(41:49):
to get a broad put in to like keep my
toe intact. Otherwise my toe was going to get amplicated.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Oh hell.

Speaker 17 (41:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (41:58):
Also your segment about heat pump services, I work for
a ventilation company and the actual not a scam.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Okay, so what they what do they do that we
can't do? I thought someone would say this, I am
happy for your calling to thank you.

Speaker 18 (42:18):
Well, they check over the system. But a lot of
people don't know with heat pumps, they never replaced every
ten years. So the people that are like on the field,
that know the systems in and out, are able to
let people know when their systems are getting to the
end of life. So if you're feeling if you're doing
like the Felters yourself, you're not like, you're not qualified,
You're not going to know when your system needs.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
To be changed.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Okay, wouldn't it just stop working? What? What does go
wrong with them? Carrie?

Speaker 18 (42:45):
So around the ten year mark is when people replace
their heat pumps. That's when they start probably sufficient. So
you'll notice them blowing out cold here when on a
woman's temperature setting or a rising the power bill is
a really good indication.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (43:00):
And then like if you have a ventilation system instilled,
depending on the system that you have, your filters get
changed three two years and then if you have a
heat transfer cat for your fire around every two years,
the filter cats that that should be replaced as well,
and would were.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
The ten years of your heat pumps. What tends to
go wrong with them?

Speaker 18 (43:21):
They just done the tenure mark. Starts comely sufficient, so
they won't work as well as what they used to
when they were newer, and they'll use a lot more
power to bring out the heat. So that's why people
tend to replace them around the tenure mark. And then
water filters get replaced every twelve months.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Okay, thanks Erry, good advice. There we go sixteen past nine,
eighteen past nine peak markers evening. Welcome they're going.

Speaker 19 (43:49):
There, Marcus, you get regarding heat pumps, and that the
same thing that one of your previous call has said,
I've got a guess for the unit here, and they say,
when I put it in brand news thirty years ago,
and I first put it on, you've got to get
it serviced every year. I haven't known that unit service
for thirty years and it's still going today that they
haven't spent a cent on us. Only once I've got

(44:11):
a technician out. Yes, it did blow. It's called a
pressure vow. I think there's a spring in there and
they can sort of seize all springs. All they did
was they just put a new one of those and
thirty years down the track still going. Just imagine me
doing thirty years every year, like they said, thirty years,
that would have cost me more what the units were
two times over.

Speaker 10 (44:33):
Yeah, so same.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
I can't get why that woman said that the power
but will be a lot more after a while, because
what would I mean, how would a heat pump become
an efficient?

Speaker 19 (44:43):
No, I don't believe that you. Okay, maybe elderly people
like that, and maybe much for them, but I think
if you do the basic, most people can do it themselves.
They pull them out like the wr caller's head, give
them a wash or give them a bit of they
dust out.

Speaker 20 (45:00):
They're fine.

Speaker 19 (45:01):
It's all these service people are trying to do. Okay,
you can't blame them. They want their business. They make
money out of their sabers. It's that simple. And also
going to hate DVS system and my ceiling for you know,
it's circulating the air around my house and my rooms
and same thing. Oh, you should replace the socks on them,
the filters on them. No, you don't you just take

(45:21):
them out, put them in the washing machine and they
do eventually fall apart. You can wash those five times.
You don't buy you filter all the time. It's just
a commercial gimmuck.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
There's a DVS out of the roof, the hottie out
of the roof being successful for you.

Speaker 19 (45:35):
Oh, they work, They definitely do work. They just keep
they keep the Yeah, it just keeps the moisture out.
It's a circulating sort of warm, warmer air. It's fresh
air through. They definitely work. And if anybody says they
definitely with DVS or RV, what do you have still
is basically the same thing, just a different name, lightly

(45:55):
different models, but I swear by them. You don't get
any mold behind your curtains and moisture on your windows.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
No crying windows, no mold, no crying windows. Is that
what the head goes?

Speaker 19 (46:05):
Yeah, Yeah, they do work.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I'm going on your pain. Thank you, George Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (46:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Hi.

Speaker 16 (46:11):
This heat pump thing is interesting. I don't do you
understand how heat pump works.

Speaker 20 (46:17):
For a starter? You do, okay?

Speaker 16 (46:22):
Well, the thing is you've got a compressor outside that
is compressing gas, getting it chilled by the outside temperature,
and then while it's being chilled, it's actually absorbing heat
in the compression process, and that gas, now hot, gets
pumped up to your heat pump unit in the house,

(46:43):
so it's like your fridge. Inside your fridge, it's cold,
but if you put your hand around the back of
the radiators are hot because it's taking heat out of
the air and putting it into the pop of the tubes.
So the heat pump pumps that gas up there and
it heats up the veins in the heat pump in
the house and that gets blown through, so the air

(47:05):
going through it heat something blows out. The problem is
if the gas starts to leak out for any reason,
it takes more and more energy to pump that gas
up and get the heat out. So they start tending
the heat pump up to get warm. So we've just
had our heat pump service. We've got two of them.
What they do is they do a full temperature check

(47:28):
when it's on flat out. It's got to be up
to a certain temperature and they know that the gas
is still good and hasn't leaked. If that temperature goes down,
the heat pumps on full after ten minutes and it's
not as hot as it should be. They know the
gas is running out and it needs to be a
tender to what.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Is one of the main reason what happens to the
gas it just leaks out, is that what happens, it just.

Speaker 16 (47:49):
Makes out of joints or whatever. It's like your fridge
can press, it can leak air and leak gas up
and it doesn't work. And it's like your air conditioning
in your car. The majority of people don't realize that
gas in the car could also leak out of the system.
So your air conditioning doesn't it as cold as used
to when you first brought the car. So then you've
got to get a regassed. So heat pumps are very similar.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
It's a shame. It's a shame they haven't got a
built in thing that will tell you that.

Speaker 16 (48:19):
Well, just a thermometon to that. At the end of
the day, the gas tells you that it's the right pressure.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
But I presume that it's going to get your room
to the right temperature. It's just going to take longer
because it's not as efficient. Yes, that's what so at
the moment, at the moment is not going to work.

Speaker 16 (48:39):
Is it. Yeah, Well, but you've got to know how
long till eave the heat pump pump so it gets
up to full temperature. And what the what that unit
is supposed to be specified at for what say, ten
minutes running it flat out? What the temperature of the
air is supposed to be. So you've got to go
back now and ask the guys how hot is this

(48:59):
supposed to get after ten minutes are running flat out?
In other words, you turn your temperature gauge on your
control up to maximum.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
If you had gotten George, if you had your service.

Speaker 16 (49:09):
Yes, yes, we've just had it done. That's why I know.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Who do you get? Who do you get to do it?

Speaker 16 (49:15):
One of the keep it for solution guys in Tawa,
they come up to it. But the other thing is
they take the f when the egg gets sucked in
to go blow around and out again through the head
unit on the in the room, there is a gauze
filter there. Usually it's a plastic mesh. One every month

(49:35):
will say you should take that out. Just pack it
into the laundry and wash it out, drive dot, dry
it off and put it back and that stops the
crap from the room going through into the rest of
the unit and the rest of the mechanics inside, like
the veins on the fan. You know, if that gets
all gummed up and dirty, then you know they're not

(49:57):
as efficient.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
So, George, how often have you had your heat pump replaced?

Speaker 16 (50:03):
We haven't. We put that in in twenty and twelve
and it's still running. Not a problem because we've had
it serviced every year. And the other thing is we
keep cleaning the filters so the system stays clean. The
guy was saying, he's been the places that's basically just
been a mat of filth and stuff on his filters

(50:23):
because nobody does anything to them, especially landlords don't go
and get them serviced in flats. They expect the people
to do it, and the flats don't give two hoots
because it's the landlord's heat pump.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Can they top up the refrigerants?

Speaker 21 (50:36):
Is that what they do?

Speaker 16 (50:38):
Yes, they can, and that restores the efficiency of it
and gets your power bull back down again. That's why
they call it a heat pump because they actually save energy,
will save power. To get the same amount of energy
out the heat that you'd do for a radiant heater,
it'll cost you a lot more.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Yeah, I'm familiar with that.

Speaker 16 (50:58):
Now you outside unit needs to stay clean. Our guys
pour off the cabinet. I got him to replace all
the screws on the outside cab It's because they are
zincer worn off in the salty air yere, so I
got them to a place of all the stainless steel
screws that It cost nothing. So you know, you pick
up the stuff that needs to be done at the time,

(51:19):
and I think it's worth it. Considering your heat pump
systems thousands of dollars to stick in, you might as
well spend one hundred bucks or whatever it is once
a year just to keep it running right. Yep, okay,
just like you maintain your car.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Convincing fair advice, George, Thank you, Marcus. I lost a
toast in the mess. Put my lot of blood spread
on the shirt guests with the toenail never grew back,
still waiting forty years. Funny. Lost my balance. Toe very
important for balance, that's right. I was supoken to people
lost toe. They say the balance never comes back. Marcus.
There used to be a roofer and I can't tell

(51:53):
you how many thumbs nails I've lost over those years.
Marcus first made a capital next to thumb as I
broke at the work exits and z second as the doctor,
my hand was swallowed like a tennis ball. I had
to try. I had to drop on my big toe.
It got both crushed and bruised at the same time.
I was wearing jendles by the time. At the time
and other people never helped until I was spinned with

(52:15):
the drawer bar on the toe. Don'ty now come back
to normal? Took two growth cycles to get back to normal.
A Stanley knife Marcus's ideal to cut into the now
and reached the blood pressure an awesome way to do it.
Lost the big toe nail playing football last week, rowdy
opposition player stood on it. Marcus was doing some building

(52:37):
with my four year old grandson. Was holding the nail
with the pliers, thinking was being smart. Don't ever understand
the reestimate the ability of a four year old to
be distracted full hammer blow on my thumb, holding the
plyers a good four inches from the nail, still waiting
for the nail to grow back. Gee. Marcus read our
first day on holiday at the beach in Raglan. As

(53:01):
we were unpecking the carra bottle of wine broke through the
paper bag and landed right on my big toe. The
wine bottle thankfully was saved by my toeenail, but the
nail wasn't so lucky, going black immediately. I'd also had
a vasectomy two days before. I spent the next couple
of hours with a bag of ice on two forrey
saw places while my wife unpacked the car. Not happy,

(53:24):
Micknick Marcus had a full three months ago breaking five
bones in my foot, including four toes, but not big toe.
Two months later, found the same place, broke five toes
with two breaks of the big toe black foot, but
not much pain, no treatment. Mary. Pain scale score above
four mean June need dragon divention. Pain is individual spirit,
so can't compared to anything. That's what I would have thought.

(53:47):
Beck at your people, if you want to talk. Marcus
till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty OOO.
I've lost a few nails due to running marathons, but
then they grow back. Think you don't know what happens
with the marathon. You might go to tell me is
that bad shoes or is that just inevitable or not
cutting your nails? Marc's I hate pump. Finny died after
seventeen years. If you have a community service card, the

(54:08):
government subsidized eighty five percent of a new heat pump,
and fill your attic with insulation for free. Where warm
as toast again? Now?

Speaker 22 (54:15):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (54:18):
But he Sai's what we are on about tonight. Banging
your thumb car doors is the one.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
And those.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
I don't know if you've got one of those old
houses with one of those flower bins, but man, it's
a complicated thing. The flower bin. It's you pull it out.
It's sort of hinged. Tinge for an excellent out it
comes and new flowers in there, but they are very,
very heavy. They should come with warnings. My lot of

(54:44):
things in life should come with warnings, shouldn't it. Anyway?
Twenty eight away from nine ten?

Speaker 16 (54:51):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Lines free for thumb injuries? Lines free for heat pump?
I found that guy quite convincing. George Marcus, if only
just joined you so must be out of just points
of interes stuff slammed the car or my thumb nail,
which was I told would take six months to grout,
Sure enough, just about six months the day. Don't dry

(55:13):
this at home, not recommended, he says, is that what
happened to me on Friday night after work. I went
to close the door quietly and the car and yes,
straight away, but it didn't hurt at all. I've had
the other one sort of throbbed all night. This one
not bad. I don't know quite why it wasn't bad.
And maybe the blood's not going to my hands anymore. Marcus.
I've lived in this house for sixteen years. Two dike

(55:35):
and heat pumps could have been here for years before that.
No idea how old they are. They are floor models
and new ones look the same. Last year I decided
for the first time to get them cleaned. The guy
come in and said, you have done most of the
work for me. They are spotless. He did bugger all
outside too. I vacuum the fields every time I do
the flowers, as with a doll. They get dusty faster.

(55:56):
A refrigeratoration engineer said to me, don't get them clean
every year like they say it deps it wrought it
like my fire. Also not no heat quite like it,
especially for us in the South. Joy luxe and losing
sleep isn't quite the same as losing your life. In Ukraine,
what a gutlass prominise? Do we have flower bans? Do
not need a warning. If you can't figure out before

(56:18):
crushing a body part, then you're in for a learning experience.
It should last a lifetime. Well that's a harsh Forty
years ago, my honeymoon in Hawaii arrived in a tex
at our hotel. I shut the door on my own thumbnail,
which later fell off. I swore in the taxi driver
look my husband, thinking you got a charming lady here, mate,

(56:39):
laughing with crying with laughter emoji, crying with laughter emoji. Cheers.
Hey Jude Marcus listening and from Burlington, Vermont on a
work trip. Pretty town here, but missing home. Loved the
show and hid the preteen Patrina and christ Church. Cheers, James,
What youver gonna work trip would be for Burlington Vermont?

(56:59):
I don't even know what Burnington, Vermont is famous for.
Work trip would be there, of course, I don't have
a work trip to Burlington, Vermont. One thing about radio.
I don't get any work trips. I asked to go
to a talk radio conference, but they did. I think
it was all sort of here. Well, this is the
bosses go to those I'm just looking at what Burlington,

(57:22):
Vermont the industry is nothing much happened here. I don't
think maybe medical centers and Ben and Jerry's anyway enough
for me. Get in touch, Marcus till twelve twenty three
away from ten. Need your calls to going about the
thumbs and about anything else you want to go on
about too. By the way, Marcus, about sixty years ago,

(57:46):
my dad bought his first motor MOA. He was so
proud of us kids. He gathered. He's so proud all
us kids gathered around to watch. We didn't really have lawns.
He tried to make a huge clump of fiscue grass.
Of course them I were jammed, and without thinking he
put his hands under to unjem it. I can still
see his finger flying through the air, completely severed. All

(58:07):
he was worried about was been able to unable to
play his bagpipes. Well, yes, that would be a bad
thing for the bagpipes. But do talk. If you want
to talk some other stuff that's happening around the world too,
you might want to mention put then in your gra
bag of topics for tonight. Or by the way, the
all Blacks are back at number one, but I think

(58:28):
would be vulnerable both to both Australia and South Africa
and France and England and Ireland. I wonder how much
money I'll have to waive to get Joe Schmidt to
stay as the Wallabies coach, because you wouldn't want to
see him go. Gosh, I've had such dud coaches for
so long Australia. That piece of work Eddie Jones and

(58:49):
Checker cheap as creepers. Yeah, it's funny that so many
people kind of, well, we'll go for a fast talker,
won't they, rather than quality? What's said about the real
world anyway, do get in touch twenty one away from ten,
looking forward to your calls. Richard Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 14 (59:06):
Hello Burlington. Vermont is the home of Ben Jerry's ice cream.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Yes, and don't ask me what Ben idea. I think
they're quite socially conscious. They've got good pr Ben and
Jerry's right, but I never I don't know why they
have all Actually they have wood and it's an It's
in Auckland, I think.

Speaker 14 (59:28):
Now, yeah, well that's probably why that guy wasn't.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
The Auckland and Wellington Sylvia Park, Ponsonby Road and Harbor.
It's food court Commercial Bay. I need to go there myself.

Speaker 14 (59:39):
Yeah, I'm going to give it a nudge too. And
I've been to Vermont's lovely.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
What's that song I like about Vermont? Summer in Vermont?
Is that a song?

Speaker 14 (59:52):
The one?

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Well? No, I think it had quite a No, there's
quite a contemporary song mentoring mentioning Vermont, right, Okay, I
don't know what it is. The trouble with ice cream
or gelato. It's all delicious, isn't it. It's all you know,
it's you need strong woolpower to go to those sorts
of places because otherwise you go straight back in another one.

Speaker 14 (01:00:18):
Too much ice cream?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
As it is exactly, it's the devil. It's the devil's shoes. Thanks, Richard,
I got to move. Nice to talk, dB Marcus welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:00:27):
Isn't it moonlight in Vermont? Anyway? You're talking about crocs,
and I sworn about that. I'm going to buy here
which which which is?

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Which is? Which? Is a ridiculous thing to swear off
as shoe. That's the that's the forever shoe. But but
I appreciate it. Yeah, why do people do that?

Speaker 14 (01:00:48):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:00:49):
I well, the story continues, I needed a pair of
comfortable shoes because I'm now a night security guard and
a place that doesn't want me crumpling around in steelcaped boots.
Oh and security guys one wed other night watch them.

(01:01:09):
But anyway, I found a pair of lined crocs at
the warehouse and they are can.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Contempt pride to investigation. You see, why did you even
why did you even have that anti crocs dance? You
like me, I have any dances, and it's just it's
just madness.

Speaker 20 (01:01:32):
It's madness. But yeah, I've seen crocs, you know, lots
of children wear them, and I thought, you're not really
at the gamber where looking down on cross go figure.
But these lined crops, they've got a faux fur in them.
Brilliant because I have to go outside at two in

(01:01:54):
the morning.

Speaker 14 (01:01:56):
Were they.

Speaker 20 (01:01:58):
A frosty, they'll last of thirty seconds that I'm wandering
around outside looking like I know what I'm doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
And I imagine they're not really a Crocs. They're a copy,
aren't they. So imagine if you actually uppaid paid a
handi for a proper pair of lime crocs, they would
probably be even better.

Speaker 20 (01:02:19):
Never thought about that because they were cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Well, yeah, things at the warehouse tend to be.

Speaker 20 (01:02:26):
Inexpensive as opposed to being cheap. But I've been impressed
with them. Good And there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
What are you ours? dB? If that's not asking too much?

Speaker 20 (01:02:38):
Ten to six and I do two nights a week,
Friday night and Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Oh that's not bad, is it.

Speaker 20 (01:02:44):
No, it's absolutely helped out my exchequer something atrociously. I've
now enough money to spend on silly things like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Legos, so I say that again.

Speaker 20 (01:02:58):
I can. I can now afford to live a little
bit more easily than the pension allows.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Do you buy a lot of Lego?

Speaker 20 (01:03:06):
You soon, I've got the fair collection of some of
the bigger sets, like I've got the cranes or the
biggers and the before and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Do you leave them in their sets?

Speaker 20 (01:03:20):
Yes? Oh I built them and then they stayed built.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Yeah, because we've got that stage where I had to
go to the warehouse and I had to go to
miter ten to buy two of those clam shaped blue
peddling pools. Yes, we have three of them full of Lego.

Speaker 16 (01:03:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
And it's too much because the kids, one of the
boys maybe likes to play with the minifigures and they,
of course through the siving action all in up at
the bottom. So now with the three three pools, we
can actually see because it all got that technic stuff
in there, and they're not great on technicus because technic
is quite complicated.

Speaker 20 (01:03:57):
Yeah, I am. I bought the five exl mobile crane. Yes,
it took me two days to construct them. And in
the middle right in the gearbox somewhere I must assembled
one part and it doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Okay, well you should need to go. Our biggest one
was the land driver with all the gears, and that
was quite complicated as well, but we took our time
to do it. The reason I am asking you about
Lego dB and the reason I'm fresh about Lego. Have
you watched that Lego Masters the World Championships at the moment.

Speaker 14 (01:04:35):
No.

Speaker 20 (01:04:35):
I tried a couple of years ago with the first start.
I tried watching it, but these guys are just experts.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yeah, it's pretty good. I watched it tonight. It was
pretty good. They had to do cars because actually doing
a car with Lego from a build from scratch is
quite a challenging thing, but particularly because the challenge was
building a car with no studs on the outside, and yeah,
that's quite challenging to get all that stuff covered off.
It was quite a good anyway.

Speaker 20 (01:05:04):
And the suspension, Yeah, the ones that have what has
always been very interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Yeah, yeah, quite, that's the speech. Oh okay, is it
that's eighteen hours a week?

Speaker 17 (01:05:12):
Is it?

Speaker 20 (01:05:14):
Uh no, it's sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Oh that's what I mean.

Speaker 20 (01:05:18):
It's perfect, two eight hour nights.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Falling, that's good falling, you're not falling asleep.

Speaker 20 (01:05:26):
Well, I've spent two thirds of my working life is
a shift worker. It's just matter to me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Yeah, good, okay. I want to hear you. Haven't you
how many times? How many? How many thumbnails have you done?

Speaker 20 (01:05:40):
I've just had a toy nail about three months ago.
It's about halfway we're growing. But it was my doctor
that showed me the red hot poker trick.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
What's what what do what do the actually use? Was
it as a paper clip? Paper clip and twisting.

Speaker 20 (01:05:57):
When it finally breaks through the gap between the fingernail
and the skin below, the release of pressure instantly tells
you and you don't push it into exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Exactly so you want the paper clip becase it's got
a flat into it. It's like a cylinder as opposed
to a needle, in which is conical.

Speaker 20 (01:06:17):
Yes, because you might not notice you've broken to you true,
and they could damage lying to shoe.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
You know, I'm a big believer in the paper clip
DEBI thank you. I'm pleased you've concurred with me. Anyway,
het Tel twelve, my name is Marcus. Welcome. I'll get
to the texts nine from ten. It's the time we
want it to be. How are you going people? What's
happening toes, thumbs, nails? Is it true that they only

(01:06:43):
grow back three times? That's a question that someone answered
with good faith. Get in touch, oh eight hundred and
eighty nine to nine to text. But mainly it's about
hitting your thumb or your hawlex, your big toe and
losing the nail. It's not a topic for everyone this

(01:07:07):
because most of us can hear the pain and feel
the pain. Where we hear people talking about that pain,
it's one of those ones we can all identify with.
It's the major topic for tonight. Be a part of it.
If you want to any else you want to talk
about mentioned, get involved with good You got the idea.
That's the show for that. Yeah, it's not about show
that Lego and I quite like that. Lego masters the

(01:07:27):
host's very good, Hamish and Andy is the host excellent.
And yeah it's a World champs. It's good. Anyway, doge
in touch you want to talk mon name is Marcus welcome.
There's something else you want to mention? Good? What have
you got? We're here for you. Trump has posted on
truth socially it's very very happy and looking for feedback

(01:07:49):
about his giant flags he's put on the White House.
Such a baby, always looking for feedback. Isn't he like
an unsatisfied child? Anyway, it's not concerned ourselves with that tonight,

(01:08:09):
looking forward to what you want to talk about. My
name's Marcus Hadle twelve six away from ten good evening, Grant.
This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:08:17):
Ah. This is not about a thumb, but it's about
a forefinger.

Speaker 7 (01:08:20):
Cool.

Speaker 13 (01:08:21):
So I'm on the yacht. I'm on the yacht and
I'm replacing all the chain that the is used to
pull the anchor up. Yes, so I've had all the
chain out and putting all new chain on it, and
I'm pulling the chain up with the gypsy. The gypsy
is the is the turning device which lifts the chain.

Speaker 16 (01:08:42):
The anchor is.

Speaker 13 (01:08:42):
Now just a couple of feet away from the bow roller,
and I start lifting that in by hand, and as
I do that, my knee leans on the push button
which pulls the gypsy in and the chain around, and
my finger gets jammed between the chain and the gypsy

(01:09:03):
with a thirty five kilo chain pulling down on my finger.
You can't believe the pain. Anyway, I managed to.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
In the marina.

Speaker 13 (01:09:17):
No, Fortunately I was at the marina. This is at
Pine Harbor, and I managed to pull the chain off
my finger. And I looked at my finger and it
looked like pizza. And I got down below on the
VHF and I called marina. Just as I was fainting,
I looked at my finger. I couldn't believe it. I
woke up when they were knocking on the hull and

(01:09:39):
it completely degloved my finger. It's called a degloving injury.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
What a nasty word that is.

Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
Yeah, pulls a fingernails straight out. They whipped me up
to the local GP office and I'm just sitting there,
cross legged on the floor, willing the pain away, just
rocking back and forwards. They reckon a crushing industry. Injury
is the worst injury you can get the pain. And
I'll tell you what. When he gave me the ring

(01:10:06):
Blo injection, it was just it was gone immediately, which
was kind of nice. But I had nerve damage and
I played the piano and I was freaking out about that.
But I'd never be able to play the piano again.
But your nerves grow back like one millimeter every three
months or something like that. So the fingers still slightly deformed,

(01:10:26):
the nails deformed, but basically, apart from it being slightly
out of shape, I got a full recovery.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
Great. And tell me if did you manage to say?
Did you say your birth number when you called the
marine people?

Speaker 16 (01:10:41):
I probably did.

Speaker 13 (01:10:43):
When I got down below, I could feel I could
feel that tense rising from my ankles. I thought, shit,
this is not good. And I grabbed the tea towel
and I wrapped around my finger and then I lay
down and I passed out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
You don't know how long the jog the people to
get there.

Speaker 13 (01:10:58):
To you, Ah, probably was. It must have been at
least five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Wow, what a story.

Speaker 13 (01:11:06):
Yeah, oh man, it was absolutely agony.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
And your piano. Your piano playing is fine now great.

Speaker 13 (01:11:13):
Yep, you can still play. I've got just a tiny
bit on the tip of the finger, a tiny bit
of insensitivity to touch. But apart from that and the fingernail,
if you look at it head on, it's kind of
a bit out of shape.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
And did the did the GP manage to fix was it?
Nothing required to do to fix it? What do they
do with a d glove finger?

Speaker 13 (01:11:33):
So so what what what they did?

Speaker 19 (01:11:35):
He wrapped it all up.

Speaker 13 (01:11:36):
And they put me on tremadol. Oh my goodness, that'll
make your trip out. And at that stage they were saying, oh, no,
you're off to some the super clinic, some special recovery
center to have your finger, because the finger looked like pizza. Honestly,
it was unbelievable. But when I went there, they said, oh, well, really,

(01:11:57):
there's nothing we can do. You know, your nerves will
grow back. You probably lost your nail forever. But the
nail grew back. And as I say, then, I was
on the premodole and I was like, wow, what it
was all with me? I was just tripping out and
I couldn't I just couldn't take it anymore because it
really spaced me out. But the pain when the when

(01:12:18):
the ring block wore off, the pain was just like
a constant throb.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
And how long was that pain? How long were you
in painful? Grant?

Speaker 13 (01:12:26):
Oh it was days weeks? Yeah, yeah, probably about a week.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Okay, nice to hear you. I'm going to use but
think it's a great story. All good stories, very good stories.
All about fingers and toes tonight, which is interesting, Marcus.
Toenails regrowing definitely unless the matrix has damaged. They grow
one to two mills per month. Marcus, I once had
a blood nail. Don't even knew it was called that.

(01:12:58):
I once had a blood nail on my big toe.
To release the pressure, us the smallest drill, but battery
drill sitting outside the concrete step to ensure I had
real control. I started slowly, and once I punctured through
the nail, the spout of blood came out and the
relief from the pain was instant. Once the nail fell off,
had the perfect cylindrical hole from the nail bit. Nick Mark's.

(01:13:19):
After spending money on cycle ways, maybe it's time for
cycle helmets to become optional. Has it been a big
waste of money, and it's no safer except for children
wearing them. Stephen, Well, look, the funny thing about cycle
cycle helmets. I don't really want to debate it, but
what the psychology of cycle helmets was is that once
they made cycle helmets compulsory, it signaled peer it to parents,

(01:13:40):
the fact that cycling was unsafe, and the number of
people cycling plummeted. And that's the legacy of cycle helmets.
That much fewer people cycle because the perception is that
it's dangerous. I'm seeing even stuff websites, dumb poles, and
most people aren't in favor of the ban. I'm interesting enough.

(01:14:01):
If you ride a bike without a helmet around the country,
they normally pretty lacks with own Christchich and Nelson, both
places have been stopped for not wearing a helmet quite unpleasantly. Actually,
when I stopped at Nelson for not wearing a helmet,
they were filming for Police ten to seven, which was
just weird. I just got off the plane. I was

(01:14:24):
off to a conference. But anyway, that's that. That is that.
I think. My theory is, if you're a cyclist, you've
got to be very much aware that anyone could kill
you to take a vase of action and don't lull
yourself in a false sense of security with a helmet,
because yeah, someone texting in their ford range to hit

(01:14:44):
you from behind the helmet's not going to help anyway.
That's my rent over, but it's what the party have
spent money on to work out whether people want helmets again,
they'd be better off working out where the people should
have seat belts on school buses or helmets and planes.
With all that, when will we have helmets on with

(01:15:06):
all the turbulance that's happening, There'll be flight attendants wearing
helmets first and then the passengers. I reckon that will
happen in my lifetime. Helmet to be compulsory. I've never
seen anyone in a plane with a helmet, and I
don't really want to be the first ten past ten
lines are free mineum as Marcus could even welcome heed

(01:15:27):
to twelve. We are talking about blood nails. Didn't know
what it's called a blood now? What is the medical term
for that? When you go when you hit your when
you hit your thumb so hard it bleeds beneath. I
don't know if they are called blood nails. Our subungule
hematoma bleeding under the nail. I don't know if I've

(01:15:47):
said subungule like lingual subungual hematoma. Yes, it's not good.
I think the card or the hammer is the most
common all those flower bins. I suppose it can happen
at the gym if you drop a dumbbell on your toe. Yeah. Anyway,
it's a good topic for me. Never liked the expression

(01:16:08):
on torp when someone says their hand got degloved to
relieve it. Your doctor may perform decompression, sometimes called trepanation.
The doctor uses a heated wire or carbon laser to
burn a hole or holes. The heated tip of the
wire is cooled by contact with the hem of time,
which prevents injury to the nail bed a quick and
painless procedure. Or the doctor uses a nail sorry a needle.

(01:16:34):
The fingernail can have grown as it as eight weeks.
A new toneail may not fully grow for about six months.
Even with the best repair, there's possibly the new nail
may grow back and not look normal. We've all had
a toe now that's not look normal. That's the topic
for tonight people, And how often I'm quanderous of that

(01:16:56):
thing without heat pumps, with the fluid losing fluid, which
means the heat transfer is not as successful. And if
you could probably tell from your powerbill going up, Marcus,
there are plenty of people whizzing around on eastcooters in
a farm more damous Man and they don't have to
wear helmets. Do they have to wear helmets? I don't
know about the east scooters even this is Marcus good

(01:17:21):
evening Haven.

Speaker 21 (01:17:24):
So chopping the Indian finger off at the beginning of
hauling twelve thousand hooks for the truck. Wow, Yes, very salty.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
So we're talking more about banging the nail.

Speaker 21 (01:17:39):
Oh, I'd just like to talk about pulling somebody out
of the water on Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Yeah, tell me more.

Speaker 21 (01:17:45):
Yes, went into quite a bit of shock with the cold.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
So gautiful people, where were you?

Speaker 21 (01:17:52):
I pulled him out on the Halfman Bay boat ramp.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Was he drunk?

Speaker 13 (01:17:57):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:17:58):
No, I just fell off, fell off the bow of
the boat between the pear and the boat.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
He knock his head.

Speaker 21 (01:18:05):
No, But when I got him onto the period was
in quitable a shock from the cold.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
From how long in the water.

Speaker 21 (01:18:10):
Oh, only only maybe a minute in.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
Behalf It's amazing.

Speaker 21 (01:18:15):
Yeah, it's pretty cold at the moment the water.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
I didn't know what to fect that it affects you
that soon.

Speaker 21 (01:18:21):
Yeah, I think for a shock from falling in in
the first place, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
There's obviously in clothes.

Speaker 21 (01:18:27):
Yeah, are you're just pulling under the pier. And he
jumped off the bow and then fell backwards.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Was he a sole only person on his vessel? No?

Speaker 21 (01:18:36):
No, but the other board didn't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Did they have did you put a blanket or did
you have one of those foil blankets or anything?

Speaker 21 (01:18:44):
No, but he seemed to come right. But he like
he lied there for a couple of minutes and then
came right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Well that's a tough kind of a thing to have happened.

Speaker 21 (01:18:53):
Yeah, that's eighteen now out of the water.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
How do you mean.

Speaker 21 (01:18:57):
Eighteen people I've rescued out of the water now really Well,
I've been lilining on my life, so you know, when
you you meet quite a few experiences when you're out
there on the water all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Have you worked this into the country down fovo straight
or anything?

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:19:12):
No, no, no, not yet enough for me, mate.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Yeah, funny that you count it it's funny you keep
a record. I quite like that.

Speaker 21 (01:19:26):
Well, you know, and get up to that many. It's
sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
A yeah, no, that's something.

Speaker 21 (01:19:32):
Yeah, I don't discriminate. I don't leave people behind.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
No, you like the you like the US, US Air Force,
US Army. That's what they always do, don't they.

Speaker 21 (01:19:41):
The amount of toes and rescues I've done over the
years MICUs right up there.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Yeah, I can I mention you've got a good attitude
towards the sea. An'ture? What do they say about the sea,
She's a cruel master.

Speaker 21 (01:19:54):
You've got to show full respect day Laura.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):

Hitdle twelve. What do you got? Oh wa eight one
hundred eighty, ten eighty and nine ten ninety to text.

(01:20:17):
It's all about drilling your finger and drilling your toes.
That's a topic for tonight. Oh. By the way, it's
knowing fairly between fairly and Lake Pukhake. So if you
are doing this, well, if you're yeah, that's what I
can tell you that's all the information I have got,
So you have to go down round the pig root.
I would imagine to get into central or further south,

(01:20:40):
but I don't fully know that. But you be to
check out wel Ka Katahi to see what's going on there.
But you do get in touch if you want to
talk people. My name is Marcus. Welcome number is wait
eighty tatty. It's all about that and cleaning your heat
pump if you need professional help. But someone did say
it's important for the fluid between the condenser and the machine,

(01:21:02):
and if the fluid's been leacked, it becomes an efficient.
So yes, if there's something else you want to talk about,
feel free. Need to give the show a bit of
a rejig. Now come on, let me sit up, brighton, breezy,
remembering it yourselves voted and get yourself on the actoral
role for the local body elections. They're not far away
sixteenth of I think voting starts on the fifteenth and
sixteenth of September, and for obvious reasons, I can only

(01:21:23):
talk about getting yourself enrolled in voting. That's my important
mission for you guys, so make sure you do that
we're very lucky to be the top of the rugby rankings.
Not that they mean anything, do they Or they might
mean something for the They might mean something for the
the way they work out the draw for the next
World Cup. But I don't know what. I don't know
for the Rugby World Cup draw, what rankings they use.

(01:21:46):
That would be interesting. I know that information. I wouldn't
mind some more information about that. Ten twenty one Trace.
This is Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:21:58):
Hey, Marcus, just wanted to tell you about an incident
my husband and I had when we're building your house
and we were building the steer well, and he's on
one side, on on the other, and he's saying, you know,
I need I need you to put some weight on
that board, like pushing in as hard as you can,

(01:22:21):
so I can. And so he's screwing it from the
board from the outside, and I'm on the other side
pushing it as hard as I could. And then all
of a sudden I kind of said, well, where are
you actually screwing? And just as I heard him like
screwing it and I'm putting all my way, you putting
all your weight on that Yes, I am you know,

(01:22:41):
like we worked really well together and then and then
threw it went and then I just screamed and he went,
oh no, and then are you right, No, I'm not
unscrew it.

Speaker 11 (01:22:59):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Yeah, wow it was.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
It was.

Speaker 23 (01:23:03):
It was very screwed, but it hadn't gone right the
way through to my fingernail, but it was like yeah,
so he had to unscrew it. And when he came
around the other side, I was just looking at him
like I'm going to kill you. And I had this
like like a pig's tail of my skin just like
hanging off the end of my thumb, and he just

(01:23:26):
looked at them and he just just took off. Like
I just didn't know what to do, like it just
and so I just went and got some detail and thought,
oh god, I've just got to you know, like it's
just started throbbing, so and so it's got some detail
and just stuck my finger and oh my god. Just

(01:23:50):
it was so sore for like weeks afterwards. But I
ended up having to cut the piece of skin.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Off the like, so I didn't go sideways of the
between your nail and your finger, did it?

Speaker 23 (01:24:03):
It went?

Speaker 11 (01:24:04):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:24:05):
I was pushing really really hard onto the board and
he screwed straight through, so it went through the pad
of my thumb into into right behind manail creepers. Yeah,
so when he unscrewed it and his skin just came
out like a pigstail, you know, it just screwed. Oh

(01:24:26):
my god, it was horrible.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:24:29):
No, no, not not flesh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Did you build a Did you build the whole house together?

Speaker 17 (01:24:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:24:36):
Yeah, yeah's not one incident.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
On one instand building a whole house, so that you've
done damn well I think we did.

Speaker 23 (01:24:44):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but that was.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
One were were you full time on? It was he
he was a builder. You're a builder.

Speaker 23 (01:24:53):
I designed and he builds. Yeah, ok yeah, yeah, so
we do we yeah, we do houses. But that was
just our one. This was our individual one. Another one.
I don't know if you've ever heard if anyone had
an issue, but me and my two girlfriends. It was
one of their fortieth I think it was the fortieth birthday,

(01:25:13):
and we were having a couple of drinks all together
and thought that it would be a stupid idea if
we decided to go and get an air ring put in,
you know, at the top of your ear. You've got
kind of that I've seen them, you know, and we
kind of said, oh, that would be quite trendy one.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
Of the top of you.

Speaker 23 (01:25:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:25:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:25:33):
So because I'm totally against hats, I'd said to the
girls no. They both wanted to get a tattoo, and
I said, no, I'm not getting a tattoo. So then
they took me into this and they said, you know what,
let's just go and get that done. You know, you
can get your ear ps. And I said, oh, yeah,
I've got mes. Yeah, that won't be Yeah, let's do that, right,
So where we went, and me being like I know,

(01:25:56):
kind of thought by the time I got there, I said, right,
I'm going first, right, So okay, so we went in bang,
got it shot through, and they go.

Speaker 17 (01:26:06):
Oh god, what's it like?

Speaker 20 (01:26:07):
And I said, oh my god.

Speaker 23 (01:26:09):
It is terrible. Oh my god, it's just throbbing, like
it's so sore. They were like shoeing themselves a little bit,
you know, like, oh my god. You know, now we've
got to get it done, you know, because we all
made the packed and so they went and the being bang.
They both got done and that was fine. But then

(01:26:30):
we went to a bar or a cafe or something later,
and my ear actually did start to throb and I
said to them.

Speaker 7 (01:26:38):
Are you girls, God, are you hot?

Speaker 23 (01:26:40):
And they were like no, And I said, is your
ear throbbing? No, no, said mine throbbing. And then they,
you know, because I'd come come told them the truth.
I was just having yours on barh blah blah blah.
Well a week later I had to rip that airing out.
I was just about I tell you, I know, it

(01:27:01):
did serve me right, and I told them about it,
and they am absolutely wet themselves about it. I thought
it was hilarious, but like that person said, as soon
as you know, you put the needle through and release
that blood kind of thing, that was. I'll tell you.
As soon as I eventually got that airring out of
my ear, I was just about passing out.

Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
I wonder why, because most people are silent, isn't it
most people? It seems to be quite straightforward, yeap.

Speaker 23 (01:27:31):
And they were both fine, no problems. So whether it
was just off you know, wherever, or through something a
little bit different, you know, or I definitely jinxed myself.

Speaker 16 (01:27:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
It was only like about a centimeter from the top
of the year wasn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:27:50):
Yes, yep, yep.

Speaker 23 (01:27:53):
And I ended up because we'd gone up to twice
and I'd said to my mother in law, I said, oh, look,
I just feel it so sack like. I've got to
get this thing out of my ear. It's just throbbing,
it's hot. She said, it looks really weird. You need
to get that out.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
Well.

Speaker 23 (01:28:09):
I just about passed out in the bathroom trying to
get the thing out of my ear. But as soon
as it was out, was just a stud in there,
was it?

Speaker 19 (01:28:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:28:19):
Yeah, yeah, they just should just shot her.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
And still you don't see that so much anymore. You
see the middle of the nose. I mean they're going
if we were they and the cheap everywhere, Yeah, but
the place comes and the eyelid one was always I
didn't really like that. That was the eyelid. Have your
girlfriends still got them?

Speaker 23 (01:28:40):
That would be the We still talk about it, and
they still have me on about it all the time,
but they're still got the isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
And it was your birthday and you were the one
that tapped out?

Speaker 23 (01:28:52):
Yeah, And I thought here, I was thinking, I'll have
them on and you know, oh it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Oh, my god, you don't do that and they went
through with it anyway because you've made the pack. That's terrible.
Nice to talk Trace, Thank you just came up to
your heads. He how are you going people? My name
is Marcus Little twelve. What do you got looking forward
to you? And put tonight? Oh eight hundred eighty ten
eighty My name is Marcus Hddle twelve. It's all about
thumb injuries, as it should be on this time of

(01:29:21):
the night. And I'm enjoying these discussions. So if you've
got something to say about that, good and handle it,
and we won't do anything too squeamish. I think degloved
abouts as far as we go.

Speaker 8 (01:29:33):
Ooh.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Still don't fully understand how that finger grew back, but
I don't need to know. But yes, it's amazing. We've
got fingernails. I'm sure they do a huge amount of good,
but protecting us from or protecting the fingers the end
of the fingers, otherwise they're banged over all the time.
So that's what we are on about. If you want
to talk one of is Marcus welcome Hitdle twelve oh
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two

(01:29:56):
de text heat pumps and banging the end of your
finger with something or toe seems to me for what
I've heard, that the toes are more common. So that's
what we are and about do come through, Marcus. The
previous COLLI mentioned a lack of seat belts on school
buses is a higher priority than cyclists wearing helmets. Up

(01:30:16):
to ten thousand students travel on Ministry of Education school
buses each day. The last student death due to a
crash shared they could in nineteen eighty seven. I think
cyclist deaths your leggo helmitt wearing as much more serious asue,
but accept the seatbelts student on school bus a lot
more emotive. Despite no deaths the last three eight years,
no one ever want to see another student killed due
to a school bus crash. What about the injuries? Marcus?

(01:30:40):
How do how to feel? Imagine how to feel when
the plane you're on cannot land because of a computer
blackout at air traffic control. Then to endure tense moment
as you're playing circles multiple times out at sea. That's
what happened at Wellington Airport this week. And yes, I imagine
that I haven't really followed that story should be stories
to follow. Sometimes I presume that was an error, not
a cyber attack. Marcus. Just wondering can I CRC into

(01:31:08):
my heat pump all at this bugger? It sounds a
bit like a tractor hoping there was no bearing gone, Marcus.
Did you know Chernobyl is in Ukraine? Yes? I did.
I guess it was once Russia. Well, it was once
part of the USSR, which is a different place, of course, Marcus.
A large concrete flower pot contain a landed just above
my big toe cause terrible pain for five years until

(01:31:31):
one day my heavy transistor radio fell on the same
spot and the plane vanished and the pain finished. And
second Steve, these are good text keeping going and great
calls twenty seven to eleven here till midnight. It's all
about bangs on your fingers and toes and anything else, Marcus.
Two years ago I fell off my east scooter in
central Wellington on a re rainy day. Didn't have any

(01:31:52):
protection gear and was in just in a hoodie and pants.
I went to break because of red light coming up.
My rear brake had locked up and sent me skidding
down on the road. Had to go to A and
E and only bruised my small intestine. Didn't know you
could do that. That's good information. How are you going people?
What's happening? Twenty seven to eleven he Tel twelve. Do

(01:32:14):
come through if you want to talk, If there's something
else you want to mention. Good it's only been heat pumps.
It's a two topic night, which I enjoy, so give
it some thoughts if you've got something to add. Must
have just the drill must have gone just through the
top of the finger and missed that bone on the
top of the thumb with trace, just trying to visualize

(01:32:36):
that one anyway, beg it a bit. It's twenty four
to eleven Romance here at twelve Mark, as well ast
my index fingernail. The worst bit was having a floppy fingertip.
When I tried to pick things up using my fingers
and thumbs, my fingertip just bent back when I put
pressure on it. So fingernails help our fingertips to be

(01:32:57):
rigid enough to grip. It was horrid. I was glad
when my nail grew back. Thanks Mark, marg Marg Anyway,
I don't know about that person wants to blow see
r C into the heat pump I'd call for help
with that one. Anyway, do come through, but all the

(01:33:19):
lines now are free. If you've been trying to get through,
it's good to hear from you banging your fat. I
guess builders do it often. Well, I guess builders don't
do it often now because they've got what do you
call those hammers? Are they pneumatic hammers or electric hammers?
Automatic hammers? I suppose they're called don't know, presume they
run on pressurized guests? Do they have an actually?

Speaker 18 (01:33:40):
You?

Speaker 4 (01:33:40):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
And I have used one on the yurt. God, if
you guys had any idea anyway, twenty three away from eleven,
if you want to join the discussion, and yeah, if
there's something else you want to mention tonight, it's good. Yeah,

(01:34:01):
it'd be good to hear from you. By the way,
the teachers are on stroke on Wednesday. Did you know that?
I didn't know that, But that's what's happening. Secret is
that every reds it just inver Cargol or intermediate and secondary.
You know that's coming up. Maybe I'll get the kid
to help me with make the beef Wellington. That might
be a good challenge for Wednesday. Imagine we could almost

(01:34:25):
probably achieve that. I've tried my soup again and the
weekend for every good. So I'm happy with that. But
you're looking forward to your calls if you want to talk,
So yes head or twelve eight hundred eighty thirty and
nine two nine to de text. There's something different you
want to mention. That's good, but also heat pumps so

(01:34:46):
you get in touch. Just doing voting for the school board?
Oh yeah, is that it? Don't know any of them?
Oh yep, he gets a go. How many do we
get to tick for? Come on people, let's be hearing
from you. Oh, here we go, we're away again. Oh
eight hundred eighty teddy to ninety to text, looking forward

(01:35:08):
to what you've got to say. But it's only about
hitting your thumb and anything else you want to say.
That's what we're about tonight. So yep, nail gun. Of
course it's got a nail gun anyway. Jesuit's Marcus, good evening,
Hey Marcus, you're right mate, Yeah, very good. Jezzer awesome.

Speaker 25 (01:35:30):
You know that's two years ago. Now away you had
an incident with a white tail spider. Oh yeah, pit
me on the tip of my big toe. I can
now count to nineteen.

Speaker 26 (01:35:44):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:35:45):
Yeah, it wasn't pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
So what did they amputate or it just disappeared or
at flesh eating or it consumed it or how does
it work?

Speaker 25 (01:35:54):
It starts off sort of fish eating because although they're
not poisonous to the mouse of fallow bacteria, and after
the fights sort of must start to rot a bit,
and then I've got a traveling infection. They wanted to
sort of nip in the butt while the before I
got to the rest of the foot.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
So there is the toe down at the first joint,
or right down at the second joint.

Speaker 25 (01:36:20):
Right up to where it joints the foot.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
Oh that's bad, okay, how did you go with your
balanced jezer?

Speaker 25 (01:36:26):
Well, it's actually funny enough. Although the boy it was
on the big toe. They took the middle toe out.
That's for our far and spread.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Oh wow, yeah wow.

Speaker 25 (01:36:40):
But I did sort of creature like a male treats
of wound, and it was going to get better by
itself a while, and then by the time I sort
of hovel and they said, well, Jesus, there's one more
serious And what before.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
You must have been a lot of pain were you?

Speaker 20 (01:36:57):
And it wasn't too bad.

Speaker 25 (01:36:58):
It wasn't wasn't totally curious.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
That's the hitches. I thank you. Hello James, this is Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:37:04):
Good Evening, the Good Evening could be listening to you tonight.

Speaker 8 (01:37:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:37:10):
Now my story is a finger injury because I was
praying indoor cricket to be familiar. Are you familiar with
indoor cricket?

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
Yes, yes, I played indoor cricket.

Speaker 15 (01:37:18):
Yeah, so I was. It was actually a semi final.
I was bowling. It was the it was the one
of the I think it was the last ball of
the third partnership and I was bowling and the guy
that I was bowling to just he smacked the ball
right towards me. So that just came straight firing towards me.

(01:37:39):
So I put my hands out just to try and
basically block my face because it was basically heading straight
from my face and ball wing through my hand, and
then the ball actually recrecided off my collar bone and
then we one of the fielders caught the ball, so
it was a wicket. Well, and we're all celebrating on going, Okay,
my hand's going to hurt, but that's fine. Well I
went around and high five to everyone and we celebrated.

(01:38:01):
And then I quickly looked at my hand and I thought,
that's the bone of my finger sticking out of my finger.
And I showed the captain and he goes, dude, get
off the court and I get taken to minimal hospital,
and which was funny because then the doctor didn't do
any want to do anything because he wanted to show

(01:38:21):
all the training doctors before he before he did anything.
So but yeah, that was kind of my story. And
I mean I remember having nine weeks of hand therapy
to retrain my hand after that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
So did did was it the middle finger?

Speaker 15 (01:38:38):
It was the Yeah, the middle finger.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
And then did they did they pull the flesh back
over your bone and sew it up?

Speaker 13 (01:38:45):
They did?

Speaker 20 (01:38:45):
Yeah, okay?

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
And did the nerves have to regrow? What was hand therapy?
You were doing?

Speaker 15 (01:38:50):
Hand therapy was espasically at rehab, so you actually have
to train your hand how to function again. So you
have to teach your fingers how to bend and how
to flip and everything. So there was all sorts of
exercises had to do. But it was it was. It
was embraced for a long time. I had that middle

(01:39:11):
finger braced for like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
It was like and you go somewhere for finger therapy
or do you do it at home?

Speaker 15 (01:39:18):
There was a it was all covered by a c C.
But there was a when I was in Auckland, there
was a go to the super planet there and there'd
be a lady there that would do this therapy on
my hand for an air each week.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
And of what would you do?

Speaker 15 (01:39:34):
They dip it into hot wax and then put like
a mesh thing around it and then they'd message it
and yeah, do all sorts of things.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
It was there was nothing, there was nothing electronic.

Speaker 15 (01:39:47):
No, no, just purely letting it heal, but doing all
these these different therapy things to keep get the hand
moving again and growing. And basically that the whole where
the finger, where the bone came out was right by
the the joint, just below the fingernail. But then it
actually heals it it all goes back, so and so.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
You say you're back to total total beck as good
as it was.

Speaker 15 (01:40:14):
As good as it was, actually, I just can't hype
of hyperflex that finger. Yeah, which is actually even better
for cricket now.

Speaker 2 (01:40:23):
Because it's kind of died a bit indoor cricket what
replaced it? Was it touch rugby or something maybe that.

Speaker 15 (01:40:29):
I mean, I've been playing for about eighteen years now.

Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
So it's just it's still all go, is it.

Speaker 8 (01:40:33):
Yep?

Speaker 15 (01:40:34):
Yeah, I still play it. I live down in Merlbourne
now but I still play it. There's not as many
teams around, but were still. I mean I just went
to the Masters National Championships a couple of weeks ago
here in Marlborough.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
Oh, good to hear it. I alway thought it was always enjoyable.
That's good to hear, James. Thank you. A lot of
people play a lot of people that are we're playing
on netball. But yeah, yeah, here's much about it. Indoor
Cricket fifteen eleven, twelve to eleven. Suit's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 27 (01:41:03):
Oh it's good evening, Marcus. I'm phoning because I had
an accident to my thumb and it happened in a
most unusual way. I was in the local supermarket, just
walking down the aisle and on the top shelf they
had stacks of large cans of plums, not just one

(01:41:25):
layer too, and I don't know what happened, but one
of them came off the shelf and miraculously got me
on my right thumb. Well, I sort of said a
few naughty words and went to report it to them,
and of course it was bleeding by then and saw
and she said, I'll give you a plaster for it. Okay,

(01:41:47):
went home. It was so badly bruised. It went on
for months, and it actually bruised the bone because the
tin was so heavy. They did take the double layer
off for a while and just have one layer that
I went back and complain because of the pain. It

(01:42:08):
was my right hand, and they gave me a fifty
dollars topper voucher to keep quiet.

Speaker 11 (01:42:15):
Wow.

Speaker 27 (01:42:16):
So every time I go in that supermarket, they're back
to putting the big tins of plums, two layers on
the top. They haven't earned anything. So I go right
in the middle of the aisle, nowhere near the side,
because I don't want another one of those. I took
photos of the injury and the cans of plums. But

(01:42:36):
as I say, they did remedy it for a while
because it was ac c of course, but they're back
to doing two layers of big ones. So very careful.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
You were even shopping for plums.

Speaker 28 (01:42:50):
No, I was.

Speaker 27 (01:42:51):
I was just walking down the aisle went a can
fell off.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
I am actually no.

Speaker 27 (01:42:58):
I mean if it happened to a child or anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
But so always going to peck and save. They've always
got all those pellets sticked right at the top of
all these shelves. I wonder what happens in an earthquake.

Speaker 27 (01:43:10):
Well, I spoke to another supermarket and they say they
keep their heavy cattons on the bottom row so it
doesn't happen.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
Yeah, I'm going to keep it. I'm going to keep
an eye for that. So thank you for that. Cal
james Is texted back. I forgot to mention about the
end of cricket. We won the semi final after that wicket,
though I guess they didn't win the fight, other wise
he would have said, Jimmy, it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:43:32):
Hello, Yeah, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:43:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
I was sitting there laughing in bed when I heard
the lady about there when you got screwed and the finger,
and then the chat come on about the spider bike. Well,
I'm going through one now and I can assure you
Mark it's been about six or seven weeks and it
looks like it's been chewed on by something. I've had

(01:43:57):
jyby on it, and it's my toe next to my
big toes. It's slowly coming right, But you don't don't
even know. I look, it could have went a couple
of days after I'd realized that, and I thought, what
the heck's going on? And I kid, you're not Marcus.

(01:44:18):
It's it's not pretty, mate, for sure. It's I wouldn't
wash it upon my worst enemy.

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
And it was a white tail, you reckon?

Speaker 6 (01:44:28):
Oh yeah, no again my week. We even even the
doctor said it. You know, it's a fleash eating thing.
It's like my toe looks like it's been chewed on
by something. But and it's it looks blood and terrible, Marcus,
you know, and you kind of think I went out

(01:44:49):
and bought three four new pairs of bloody outdoor shoes
because I'm shit skied.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
Now were you in barefeet when it happened?

Speaker 6 (01:44:59):
Well, no, I don't. Look, I've got a gut feeling.
I leave my outdoor shoes outside and I put them on.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Oh of course, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
And you don't realize that, Marcus. And it's not a joke.
It's bulvant. You look it up on YouTube and you'll
see some of the fingers and bites from a white towel,
and it's full of meant half fingers missing half toes.
It's full of and horrible like that God's spoke about.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
Like I'd looked it up, Jimmy, sounds terrific. Thank you,
night Away from eleven. There's injuries to toes and thumbs,
but mainly the one where you bang your nail on
your thumb and blood coming and it goes. I've got
a black thumb at the moment. I'm not going to
do the thing with the paper clip for mine, because
it's not in the slightest bit sore, but it has
covered two thirds of the moon of the nail and

(01:45:52):
gone up half as far again. So will I lose
the nail? I don't know. Do I care?

Speaker 24 (01:45:58):
Not?

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Really, It's almost like a calendar having a nail grow out.
You can almost tell the passage of time. But yes,
put it in the card. Or in of a tough
week at my hobby career, in of a hard twenty
hour week, I went home and parked the car and
then shut the door quietly. GODONK Yeah, So there are
many ways you get injured yourself in radio. I can't

(01:46:20):
think of anyone that's injured themselves doing radio. But I've
injured myself heading home from radio is free. Few extant
compensation claims from radio. I can't think of anyone that's
tripped or fallen in radio actually or been electrocuted. This
is a few you wish that were electrocute today. Bunning
stack palettes with heavy goods on top of the recks too.

(01:46:41):
If there was an explosion in the paint or the
fertilized apartment, you would only have a few minutes to
get out. All the building would be incinerate or be incinerated. Yeah,
there must be codes that peckin safest to apply to
all their goods, so up high, But I don't know.
Next time there's a quake, I'll go and check it out.
Have it felt me quakes in the Bluffer and Vicago
for a couple of years, becoming less sensitive as I

(01:47:05):
last one was probably I don't know when it was.
It was late at night. I was the first one
to get on to EQ and did to you know,
the earthquake map, and then you can see which of
your neighbors would up and felt it. Quite often I
feel phantom quakes. Probably four times a year I'll get

(01:47:25):
on the Geonette website and realize that it wasn't a quake.
It must have just been one of those weird body
drops you get occasions you're going to sleep. I think
we all get those. I don't think i'm a I
don't think I'm saying anything surprising there anyway, So get
in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome Hitdle twelve. So yes,

(01:47:50):
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine,
two ticks. You want to talk at the next hour.
We are talking mainly about hitting your thumb or your
toe with something. What it I'd be just curious, I
what you did to it? It's leaving. I wait, my
name is Marcus Hitdle twelve. Romance along at midnight. I'm
here till then if you want to be a part
of it, talking mainly about injuries to your thumb or
big toe when you hit them, as I'm sure we

(01:48:13):
have all done. I guess the most common hammers and
car doors, all those flower bins and houses you will
have done it. But yeah, I don't know what's not
so much talk about as a cure for them. So
that's one of the things we are talking about. Is
that we also talking a little bit about peat pumps
and how to get them serviced. That's the discussion for tonight,

(01:48:36):
for the remaining fifty minutes. Or there's something else you
want to bring to the fray, God, come up for it, Marcus.
I jammed my thumb and a door when I was
about nine. I was throbbing, extremely painful. My father got
us drill out and drilled a hole in my nails.
All the blood came out. I remember it vividly. I
was screaming and furing it standing in the driveway. It's
the best thing to do. I'm sure every father waked

(01:48:58):
for those moments. Certainly the best thing to do. Get
in touch you got those stories. That's what we are
about tonight and heat pumps and getting them serviced. And
also the snow. If you are involved in the snow. Oh,
there's another way to go. Actually, probably go down to
Glen Navy on You couldn't go to g Navy. As
you go to Glenavy, you go up the White Tucky

(01:49:21):
River would be the answer. Because of the snow falling
down on State Highway eight. I think it is. Yeah,
you go down and do State Hiway eighty three done
truon Corral Automatata that way, but there is snow down
in the center. If you've got any other snow updates

(01:49:42):
for us, let us know Marcus over twenty eleven to
roughly Marcus. From twoy eleven to twenty fourteen, I would
regularly break my small toe, mostly my left but sometimes
my right small toe, usually on the grocery trolley. My
language became quite blue. Doctor said my balance must be
out due to the September twenty ten quake. Burst break

(01:50:06):
occurred in November twenty ten. My husband went available to
push the trolley at the grocery shop one triage dog
and said, madam, I think it's time to buy your
groceries online. It's been years now since I've stubbed either toes.
My toes remained straight and nails normal. Thank you, Jill Marcus.

(01:50:27):
Not a thumb A little toe split it walking walking
in the back door out so off to Ali on
a Sunday afternoon, where the dock and the charge had
damaged his thumb the day before from playing sports. So
I had a nightmare of a job trying to pull
it back in place. Eventually, sort of to set home
on crutches. My other half was on crutches also from
fulling off a roof, so we're a ripe pear only

(01:50:48):
had the crutches for a day. Kids thought crazy parents.
Marcus funny story. I've got a symptom called trigger thumb.
This occurs when the tendon that flexes the thumb becomes
inflamed and thick and making it difficult to glide smoothie
through its sheath. I think this occurred after weeks of troting.
Trade me and marketplace on my phone for my pink
e bike which was stolen from my flattin Moount, albert

(01:51:09):
I do so miss the bike, keep my joy through
months and months of unemployment. Thank you. Are you going
to see Oprah at Spark Arena? That's a no from me.
But we talk about fingers and finger injuries and toe
and toes and toe injuries. That's what we're about. Get

(01:51:31):
in touch. And I see Luxein's getting a lot of
flak for not attending the meeting because he said the
hour was between it was eleven o'clock or one o'clock
in the morning, and to there we go. That's the update. There,
I see a lot of people online having a go
at that because I think he had talked a lot
about not sleeping or needing any sleep, but now he's
saying he didn't need sleep, So there's calls of hypocrisy

(01:51:53):
or claims of hypocrisy. There's at the situation. It was
a coalition of the Willing meeting where French President Emmanuel
McCloughan UK for is a Kere S Dummer co chaired
the v victual meeting as Annski joined the talks, and
I think the Australian leader Albanesi was there, although of

(01:52:15):
course the time was only eleven o'clock at night for him,
but lux And said he had to be fresh for
his media appearances the next morning. But you do wonder
what would be more important, well, peace or the media. Anyway,
that's what the people are commenting on this evening, and
we're talking about thumbs also, So yes, if you want
to be a part of the show, there's something different

(01:52:38):
you want to mention, good do come through. Eight hundred
and eighty said he also heat pumps. There's very good
YouTube video someone said about fixing heat pumps or maintaining
heat pumps or seeing whether they are operating effectively or not,
that would be the concern. People would be worried if
they're not operating effectively. I would think would cause me

(01:52:58):
concern because how would you know? They're always seeming to
blow out hot air or cold air. I think we've
taken a long time for us to get you to
heat pumps because they are mysterious things. I don't like
them anyway, Michellette to Marcus, welcome, Oh Marga, tell you go, yeah, great,
thank you.

Speaker 26 (01:53:20):
Yeah, we don't About eleven or twelve, I am were
down stairs to go and ketling for the family fires,
and yeah we had that in those days. I think
I was discern it for entertainments. But anyway, take the
back sway, bounce of the word off the chopping block

(01:53:40):
straight into my foot and.

Speaker 9 (01:53:42):
I cat my big toatend in archiery bone.

Speaker 29 (01:53:46):
Had to go and have little copy together again. Yeah,
and then we had to have an operation later on
to get that sort of out too. But I'll tell
you what, like stecked out worse than that as those
little toastubs that.

Speaker 9 (01:53:58):
You get, they're the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
A little what.

Speaker 9 (01:54:02):
A little toast up you know when you stub your
little toes. Oh nothing worse than a little toe stub.

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
What do you mean what do you mean by the
word sub sub.

Speaker 9 (01:54:15):
When you stub your toe?

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, your little toaster. Yeah, I'm hearing it. Yeah, horrible,
horrible are the worst.

Speaker 9 (01:54:21):
And another another story. My grandmother dropped the end of
her finger off in the food Price is Fair and
Grandad saved the.

Speaker 24 (01:54:31):
Tips for us to.

Speaker 9 (01:54:32):
Show us when we went around there Valanche on Sunday.
That was not a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
I always thought that reattach the tips.

Speaker 9 (01:54:40):
Oh, I think that's what I have thought about it.
But it wasn't gonna work. So yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Think they reattached that. We'll find out more. Michelle, thank you.
Eighteen past eleven, brilliant. This is Joan Marcus. Welcome. Joan.

Speaker 28 (01:54:56):
Hello. I'm just wondering I haven't heard Alby's phone. Is
he all right?

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
I don't. I don't know who Albe is, Joan, he's
not name familiar with.

Speaker 28 (01:55:05):
Oh he brings man. I think you might ring you sometimes,
I'm not sure, probably more early as the morning, but
I do stay up late and I hadn't heard him,
so I hope he's all right. He's got his dog alb.
Now about forty years ago, I was, you know, you
got to catch the lounge stweet this material underneath sacking
or something, and I sort of get this, gold got
quite a bigger top on this drawing pin. So with

(01:55:29):
my thumb I went up on the bloody thing. The
steam of will went through my thumb just about too
much thumb nail. But I just I'm very quick at
doing things. Things just happen and then I just whipped
it out so it was no problem with any infection.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
What happened What happened again, Well, I let's.

Speaker 28 (01:55:48):
Speak of material. I could see, you know that I
needed to a drawing pin up nay, and I pushed
it up with my thumb and it and I don't know,
it came away at the top and the steam of
it went through, you know, into my thumb. But you know,

(01:56:09):
things can happen so quickly. And I think on another time,
I was putting on a pair of walking shoes and
then I took them off when I got home, and
I just whipped them off, and a wire probably in
the shoe caught the side of my foot and I
just kept pulling. I don't know exactly what it was,
but it was and I wore the shoes after that,

(01:56:29):
but I don't know what happened that time, but it
was quite scary, thinking, oh, something's gone into my foot,
but it sort of didn't really, but I've still got
the shoes here. It weapon so much now I'm not
walking so far now. But I'll just watched a medical
program on TV and they had all these men coming

(01:56:50):
off their bikes and falling down a cliff on. This
young guy was paralyzed. This English program's emergency.

Speaker 2 (01:56:55):
Very interesting, Jerry. I'll tell you what I always recall
often jumping on walking at school or at home, ending
up with drawing pins going through your feet. But of
course now they make the ones that they won't because
the old drawing pins and he just said, the fat
circular cupet of metal would fall so they were spike up.
But the new ones won't ever present that way. Well there,
which I think is genius.

Speaker 28 (01:57:16):
No, they probably have a ficker plastic knob on it,
so you're you're holding that, so you're pushing that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:22):
And two ones that just left on the floor if
someone's dropped them. They always the old ones would go
in such a way that you would they would fall always,
so they were spike up when they were that ones
with a round circle of metal, but the new ones
with the plastic almost like a cotton real shape. They
don't fall, which a great thing. I never thought about that.
Nice to hear from you. Thank you anyway. Twenty three

(01:57:43):
past eleven, Marcus a bigger graduation of South and Boys
High first for first fifteen for qualifying for the national
Top four playoffs and Palms North. At the end of
the month they beat Christchurch Boys three You two twenty
nine a thrilling game at list. George Overlas said this
is the third consecutive year they've played in the South
on Fire on the second time in three years they've
made the Top Floor playoffs a huge complements. Let's hope

(01:58:05):
they can repeat their national title of twenty twenty three.
Things Nathan, Yes, I remember that well in twenty twenty three.
So I don't know who the final four teams are
for the playoff. Don't have to be local coverage of that, Hi, Marcus.

(01:58:28):
Once I drilled a staff member's thumb at work to
stop the throbbing. Not sure what was more traumatized. Then
a friend jammed his thumb and a concrete truck shoot.
So I tried the hot needle to release the pressure,
but the problem I think was the sharp of the
needle caused pain under the nail. The then learned that
a red hot paper clip was the best options, as
blunted goes straight through the nail. Easy as that's exactly right,
I always swear by the paper clip. Have broken two

(01:58:51):
small toes dropping farward on them big toe when towball
of trailer ran over it. Worse was stubbing big toe
when getting up to ant a landline in the dark.
Next day it work as a teacher in charge of
sports day was taking to doctor my lunchtime as foot
had blown up. No broken skin but foot and victed.
Who knew? I nearly lost the end of my finger

(01:59:11):
when I was two, hanging on by a scrape of skin,
but one stitch. Had one stitch to Reattach brilliant twenty
six past eleven. Dad tip when drilling and nail to
get the blood out. Careful when the drill but finally
bites because it winds through the nail real fast. Yes,
what is a much better way is just to get

(01:59:31):
a paper clip straighten it. We did straighten all of it,
but then burn it under a candle and then just
twist it between your fingers and through it goes. And
it doesn't take long. Your fingers incredibly sore. There will
be some pain, but not much. I think a paper
clip is much much better than a needle. I'm sure

(01:59:52):
there's clips on YouTube. Who'd want to look at one
of those. Trump's put out a huge post saying he's.

Speaker 25 (01:59:59):
Going to.

Speaker 2 (02:00:01):
Return democracy by getting rid of voting machines and mail
in ballots. Yeah that's rich, isn't it? What the rain?
This is? Marcus? Welcome?

Speaker 30 (02:00:12):
Hi Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
Thank you the rain.

Speaker 30 (02:00:15):
This doesn't happen to me. It happened to my friend's son.
He come home a bit under the weather one night
after a few drinks with his mates and decided to
cook up a steak. And as he was hacking away.

Speaker 27 (02:00:27):
At the stake, he took the whole top.

Speaker 30 (02:00:29):
Digit of his left hand index finger and it hit
the floor. The cat spotted it, grabbed it and shot
through the cat door, never to be seen again for weeks.

Speaker 11 (02:00:42):
Wow.

Speaker 30 (02:00:43):
And he had to be taken to an and get
his finger all stitched up. Wow, that was not very popular.

Speaker 2 (02:00:51):
Terrible.

Speaker 30 (02:00:53):
Yeah, tried telling as that was it the whole finger. No,
it was the whole top digit. Okay, but he was
a bit under the weather, had too many drinks and
didn't even realize he'd chopped the finger off.

Speaker 2 (02:01:08):
So he's lost part of his finger.

Speaker 30 (02:01:10):
Yep, Kan's got it now, creepy. I have to laugh
about it, Pop. I mean it was years ago, but
I mean, you know, they give him a hard tom
that his lost finger in the cat.

Speaker 2 (02:01:25):
Good story, good story in the rain. Thank you for that.
There we go. Wow. I thought the whole finger was
the digit twenty seven to twelve. If you want to
talk about this, and then we're gonna put that topic
away forever. There's a child on a farm the eight
and the As a child on a farm in the fifties,
I jumped off the tank stand and my teeth went
into my tongue. I think we all had our teeth
go through our tongue as children, didn't we maybe put

(02:01:47):
on news themselves as much. These days, we're forever doing it.
I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing,
but yeah, I have plenty of injuries on the trampoline
to think your kids have put their teeth through bottom
lips and stuff anyway, if you want to talk twenty
six away from twelve. Not entirely sure what the weather
forecast is going to be tomorrow, but I think it
might be every around the center of the South Island.

(02:02:09):
So there are some snow happening already. That's on the
road between Fairly and Lake Pukak. If you are a
truck driver out there's got any more updates for us
on the weather. Let us know ideally or ulterinately. You
might have been on the Facebook though, on the internet
looking at some webcams and can tell me if it's

(02:02:31):
snowing anywhere. I haven't got any more information, so yeah,
if you want to talk about that, would love to
hear from you. But also too about injuring your thumb.
But all the lines are free now for the final
go round. Oh apparently the North Island teams are playing
their finals this weekend to qualify for the top four.

(02:02:55):
The Blues, Chiefs and Hurricanes regions are a week behind
the South Island. Southern Boys will play the Chiefs winner
in the semi final on Friday, the twenty ninth of August.
Thanks for that. I think that might be Westlake versus Kings.
I think the other one might be abroad to do versus.
Didn't see the other school, actually, but thanks for that.

(02:03:15):
Didn't realize it went for regions, but thank you, Marcus.
When I was three and my brother was seventy, said
to me, put your thumb in front of the mower
and I'll mow it off. So I did. I lost
the tip of my right thumb, but it was so
and back on by the local doctor and survived. I'm
eighty four now and still remember it. It's a good story.
Twenty three away from twelve in Hello, it's Marcus. Good

(02:03:37):
evening and welcome.

Speaker 21 (02:03:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 31 (02:03:41):
So another thing, the yeah I was going to say,
gets through. Probably the Merrimo who I eat to Marramo
gets through? Pass what take your order? It is whatever anyway,
So I'm tot allerged to was. I'm never really used
one of them. Now, I don't like nadles and thinking,
and I jumped out of my truck and stuff, and

(02:04:04):
I sive, my mate, I've been young, and I'll do
it because.

Speaker 4 (02:04:08):
I didn't like it.

Speaker 31 (02:04:09):
And then I plucked up the character and I jammed
it into my league. And now Naedle went out and
went straight through the back of my finger and into
my thumb.

Speaker 20 (02:04:19):
Oh wow, sort of a word.

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
But you still have got the dose?

Speaker 31 (02:04:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, still always go though.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
Yeah, how long do the lot in?

Speaker 31 (02:04:32):
Not very long? Maybe maybe three milk, three mal maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
Okay, so you're held it the wrong way?

Speaker 31 (02:04:41):
Yeah, yeah, I was reading an instructions quite a bit. Yeah,
but that didn't work.

Speaker 2 (02:04:47):
What do you I say about What do I say
about heat pumps?

Speaker 31 (02:04:50):
I've got to I've put a come into my heat
pump into my house. I've got a heat pump as well.
But why system seems to work quite well. How'd you
talk about the high peck ones or whatever they called
h hrv A systems.

Speaker 4 (02:05:04):
Yeah, we looked into it and ye, yeah.

Speaker 31 (02:05:06):
I think the buyers that's quite expensive, but they seem
to do the trick quite well. I guess you have
to clean them as well. I've never cleaned my hate pump.
I've got fire, so I just used that.

Speaker 2 (02:05:17):
Yeah it makes sense.

Speaker 31 (02:05:19):
Yeah, it's just things easy. But you know, I think
you need just three. I've got two bits of one
and with three of mine's pretty good. They're quite expensive,
but maybe nine hundred bucks or so. But I find
them very efficient. Yeah, only turned on when when the
hat's up in the room is up to temptres. They're great,
I think.

Speaker 2 (02:05:37):
Okay, not for me, thank you. I showed the Marcus welcome.

Speaker 32 (02:05:42):
Oh yes, good easy Marcus. Interesting program as always think.
Some years ago we owned a dairy, and of course
in those days you were alated to cut hand and
do whatever, not like everything sealed these days. Yes, and
I cut the tip off my thumb on the bacon slice.

Speaker 2 (02:06:01):
I'll be very easy to do.

Speaker 32 (02:06:03):
And I didn't even feel it.

Speaker 2 (02:06:05):
Wow, that's shot.

Speaker 32 (02:06:08):
So fast, and the blade was sharpened incredibly regularly, and
I didn't actually feel it, and it was cut at
an angle, and it took off part of the nail
and it just steadily grew, like watching a sponge rising
in an oven. It took several weeks, and even now
I can't hold a pen or a pencil for very long.

(02:06:29):
But it was amazing what mother nature did in x
amount of weeks. Yeah, flat dash in the middle of
the slice of ham.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
But you knew then, you realized you sell the ham.
I was worried about that.

Speaker 32 (02:06:47):
Okay, we weren't that desperate.

Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
Things I told you, no shows because you thought when
you said I didn't know, I hadn't noticed. I thought, well,
you might have noticed you'd done it, and you might
have seen it off to someone's order.

Speaker 32 (02:06:59):
That's all right, No, no, no strangers most people in
those days, but ask for X amount of slices. They
never sort of aur for a weight of anything. We'd
like six slices or slices, you know that. Let Teddy
howse sickleton. They wanted it, but it truly it was painless.
The blade was so sharp that it was painless. And
then reaction, of course, season that little bit later. But yeah,

(02:07:23):
so that's my little.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
Story showny can ask you where the deary.

Speaker 32 (02:07:26):
Was Mission Bay in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (02:07:29):
Brilliant, great answer, Thank you. Eighteen to twelve. Welcome Marcus
till midnight. What else have you got? I'm here for it.
You've got something to say, I'm here for it. It's
all about toes and fingers, yep, And we've only it's
been quite a good show because we've only heard the
word de gloved once, which always sounds a bit terrifying. Now,

(02:07:50):
if you can add to this good I'd like to
hear from you. I you've got something to say anything
else you want to mentioned it in the final go
and that's all good. Also, my grandfather was in the
Russian convoys in the Second World War. He ship his
ship got torpedo and when they got in the lifeboat

(02:08:11):
to be let down, the rope got stuck in the pulley.
He stood up and freed the rope, but his finger
got torn off and the pulley and they crashed down
to the Atlantic, where they floated for seven days before
being rescued. Without his lost finger, I probably wouldn't be
here today. Fate is a wonderful thing. We will remember
them from bread. It will be an unpleasant time vengers
in the finger and then drifting for seven days. Marcus.

(02:08:34):
Back in the days of the fly, my lawnmow, which
were perfect from wearing steep, greasy banks until you slipped back,
was pulling them over back towards you like my wife did,
removing four toes in the process. She was wearing football
boots at the time. I'd delivered her to hot hospital,
boots and all, where they rebuilt her toes with the
bits left and the foot. The good thing was it

(02:08:54):
was that she had four less toenails to cut The
bad thing was that they were a brand new pair
of boots, the old fly mo Oa. You do a
good show on talkback and a flymer if you needed
doing talk back. A lot of stories about that Pete.

Speaker 22 (02:09:08):
Hello, yeah, Marcus. This would be thirty five years ago.
So it worked in a company that had a sheet
metal shop, and we had this young guy that was
pretty that the artistic talent, and he would make a
few things. Anyway, this particular day, I think it was
a twenty cent piece, he sort of flattened it out,

(02:09:28):
drilled a hole through it, formed it around and made
a ring. Oh he's pretty proud of pretty proud of
this ring he made. So anyway, next day he comes
to work and it was too tight and his whole
finger started to swell up. So one of the guys
in the sheet millshop goes, we're going to have to
cut it off. So we managed to force the thiner
the plastic between his finger and the ring. And this

(02:09:52):
guy Tom was his name. He gets out his angle
grinder and I'm sitting there with the hose we thing
the finger while the angle grinder is going through this
ring and that steady hand in mate, he managed to
get through that ring and not nick that finger whatsoever.

Speaker 20 (02:10:12):
Yeah, but I just add.

Speaker 22 (02:10:14):
The weird thing about that that story, Marcus, is a
few miles half an hour ago, one of your callers
said something which made me think of that story, which
I've not thought of for many, many, many years. And
that guy Tom, I got a phone called that. They
just say he passed away yesterday. So it's just kind
of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:10:30):
Wow, either the guy with the grinder or the guy
with the ring.

Speaker 22 (02:10:33):
The grinder the guy it was actually the guy with
the ring that contacted me today. Yeah, very very weird, but.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
What a great story to see of it. Now, where
are we talking? What are we talking? What sort of
shop is it?

Speaker 13 (02:10:48):
Well?

Speaker 22 (02:10:48):
It was actually an electrical switchboard manufacturer and we had
that we built our own metalwork sheep meals out the
back of Penrose in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
Wow, and that's you're all working together thirty five years ago.

Speaker 21 (02:11:01):
Yep.

Speaker 22 (02:11:01):
That's so one.

Speaker 3 (02:11:02):
Yep.

Speaker 22 (02:11:03):
So yeah, but it was funny because I haven't thought
of that story for all these years, and so it
was very weird that one of your other callers should
spike that memory.

Speaker 2 (02:11:11):
Working clearly went working for you hard if you're making
rings out of what was it?

Speaker 22 (02:11:16):
It was the other guy?

Speaker 2 (02:11:18):
What coin? Was it a fifty dollars point?

Speaker 22 (02:11:22):
I think my carameer with twenty or fifty year one
of those, one of the old style ones. But yeah,
I just remember because I was holding this hose on
it watching thinking, oh my god, don't slip.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
I'm not really a ring person because I meet you,
you'd always get them stuck. Yeah, okay, nice to hear
from your peepe. You'll do, mate, you'll do, you'll do, mate.
I've got about seven minutes left, people, so if you
want to talk on air, that would be ideal, and

(02:11:56):
then we'll call it a day. People, Marcus, can you
are shown as she had the surgery for her finger
if it grew back on the angle, which was so
own with a cat? What was showing a story again?
They all melted one after a what pardon? Oh shit?
The dairy, wasn't she? Yes, she is at Mission Bay

(02:12:17):
on the Sam Slicer. That's right. I don't think there'd
be a dairy and Mission Bay anymore?

Speaker 12 (02:12:22):
Is there.

Speaker 2 (02:12:25):
In this restaurants? Changing hands on the movies? The movies
is always as the movie is still going there. There
has been a strong the Berkley or the Berkeley. That
was always a strong theater, wasn't it. Anyway. I don't
want to get into movie nostalgia because that will do
my head in. Now that's what we're on about for

(02:12:47):
the final bit. People. It's ten to ten to twelve
if you want to talk about fingers. But yes, I
would strongly advise about that thing with a paper clip
and you heat it and it kind of melts the nail.
I don't know if yeah, I don't know. It does
seem to melt it. Otherwise, why was your heat it?

(02:13:08):
It's curitan, isn't it. So, yes, it does melt because
that guy tried to affect check me. It melts at
two and ten degrees, so you twist it round as well.
Good evening, Lois. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (02:13:20):
I just turned an adverdisement on the radio. You wouldn't
know who because I'm in the Wellington area about the
All Blacks. Start me off of bond this Rugby. They
make me wild. At the end of the ad they
said that makes the All Blacks number one in the world. Again,
how the hell do they work there?

Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
Well, we're not better than Ireland, We're not better than
South Africa. We're not better than France. We're not better
in Australia. We're not better than.

Speaker 24 (02:13:49):
Watch your name, I red watch the name got beaten.
Australia beat South Africa.

Speaker 2 (02:13:55):
Yep, it was a great game.

Speaker 24 (02:13:58):
It was a great game.

Speaker 21 (02:13:58):
I watched it.

Speaker 2 (02:13:59):
James O'Connor was unbelievable.

Speaker 21 (02:14:02):
Yeah, it was a great game because the All.

Speaker 2 (02:14:04):
Blacks were the All Blacks went great to watch Lowess.

Speaker 24 (02:14:07):
No, yeah, I know that I only seen half of
it because my little four year old granddaughter had a
birthday party right in the middle of a rugby game.

Speaker 22 (02:14:15):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (02:14:16):
Ridiculous, how ridiculous even celebrating four when you're a kid
five and zero is the ones to celebrate, not four.

Speaker 24 (02:14:23):
Oh, she had four and your little friend from day school,
day play school or what they go to daycare if
she was five on the same day. So the two
sets of parents got together and had one big birthday
party in the hall, and there was little kids from
here to Christmas.

Speaker 20 (02:14:43):
I'm telling you, didn't.

Speaker 2 (02:14:44):
They know that rugby is important to you? Lowers?

Speaker 24 (02:14:47):
Yeah, that doesn't matter. It didn't matter, not as important
as my little green daughter.

Speaker 2 (02:14:54):
Fair enough. Yeah, the All Blacks. Well, you missed the
All Blacks. Eye didn't watch all of it. I watched
the first bit and then bit of the second half.

Speaker 24 (02:15:03):
Half, and then I had to go because this is
all but this Christmas Birthday party started earlier in the
clock in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:15:10):
Gay, you're ridiculous. Well, the All Blacks, I mean, it
always looks like it's all right for a while, but
it just always looks a bit chaotic.

Speaker 12 (02:15:17):
Yep.

Speaker 24 (02:15:18):
Yeah, never mind, things.

Speaker 14 (02:15:22):
Are going to happen.

Speaker 2 (02:15:24):
So the ranking, but I'll tell you something, Lowess yep,
because there are official rankings and we are officially number one,
even though you and I don't agree with that, right yep,
But I think the rankings they use the rankings for
the World Cup drawer, don't they.

Speaker 21 (02:15:40):
I wouldn't have a clue.

Speaker 2 (02:15:42):
I think they do, and I think that the other
time the rankings changed a lot in remaining three years,
because they make the drawer about two years beforehand. You
know someone else will know lowis. But thanks for coming
through six away from twelve. Do you think Scott Robert
do you think he's doing what you'd expect him to do?

Speaker 22 (02:15:57):
Scott, I expect it.

Speaker 24 (02:16:00):
He's doing exactly what I expected him to do. He
can't stand up and talk to anybody and have to
stand up and they have proper conversations. He's an idiot, completely,
that idiot. He's going to go belly up. I'm telling
your book.

Speaker 2 (02:16:18):
When will he go belly up? Will they lose to
South Africa or Australia.

Speaker 24 (02:16:22):
I reckon, Ozie, you'll beat them the way Australia's beating
because that guy Smith that used to be the deputy
coach or whatever you want to call him, of the
All Blacks, the Jokers. Smith he's an irishman.

Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
Yeah, I think he's a key with when he coached
Ireland Joe Smith.

Speaker 24 (02:16:40):
Yep, no he's not. He's not a key with.

Speaker 2 (02:16:43):
He's Irish Joe Lois. I think Lois he's a keywi.

Speaker 24 (02:16:51):
All right, Well he's coaching Australia.

Speaker 2 (02:16:54):
Yeah, but not for long. They should They should keep
him on because he's fantastic.

Speaker 24 (02:16:59):
Yes, he's the one that should be doing the all blex.

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
Of course he should not.

Speaker 24 (02:17:03):
This clown that we've got in my talk.

Speaker 2 (02:17:07):
Well, it says it sounds like you got it, sounds
that you've called down, you've got your priorities right, lowers,
you've got your grandkids and stuff, and not so.

Speaker 24 (02:17:13):
Much about you got one grandchild. I've only got one.

Speaker 13 (02:17:17):
Four.

Speaker 2 (02:17:17):
Oh, she's pretty preciously.

Speaker 24 (02:17:20):

Speaker 2 (02:17:42):
