Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's been a big old wig, you said, we started
talking about magic sand and then we end up talking
about Metallica, and tonight it's Friday, so we'll mend some
of those I'm hearing about those terrifying figures for the
schools and daycares to remove the damage from that sand,
like up to one hundred thousand. I'm wondering just about
what people but I'm sure it's not just schools that
brought it. Well, I haven't heard about people got in
their private houses, so I don't know where we go

(00:34):
just thinking about as the news was reading or been read,
that's not something I've heard about as people with that
in the private houses. So this is going to be
I mean, look, I'm sure everyone's going to be saved.
This is going to be an expensive thing. Replacing carpets, furnishing, furnishings,
and curtains. Anyway, doesn't feel like a Friday topic. I
think I want to acknowledge it that this is probably

(00:54):
not a problem that's going to go away anytime soon.
And then you've got the problem with the choking hazard
from the warehouse, so something needs to be tightened up.
Getting touched by name is Marcus Httle twelve. I will
keep you updated with the Eshes that's on tonight, that's
in Perth. Good crowd, they're good attendant, so good figures.
It's an exciting match. So I've watched a bit of

(01:15):
it before I came on air tonight, so we'll keep
you updated with that. It is the Friday free for
all loose like a goose. I can tell you too
if you are an invert cargol. Those trailer speed camera
units are here. There's one on Ellis Road. Someone's emailed
me a picture of that. To just be wary of those.
I mean you should all be always be wary anyway,
not drive fast. But who's been caught by these? By

(01:36):
the way, if you've got tickets from them? Because yeah, look,
look as I'm on air, I'm sure I've passed some
and not realized what they were. But yeah, they're everywhere,
so they've taken that. They weren't going to be in
the South Island. Now they are in the South Island,
so well they didn't start off there. So the trial's over,
so it's not just looking at the van, the transit
van or the cop car. You will get caught by

(01:57):
these trailers. It looks a bit like someone's on a
camping holiday. But oh no, it's not a camping hohor
they're writing tickets. I don't think you can get to Merit,
so I hope you can't get de mirrits. Can you
get de mirrants? I'm telling I'm a bed driver, and
I'm I'm just curious about that. But yes, Ellis Road
and Daneeda, this go doing sixty two. K's got pinged Weizley.
This is Marcus. Greetings and good evening.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Hey Marcus. News has just broken in the last hour
and a half that the Avatar movie will be premiering
in Courtney Place on the twelfth and thirteen d December,
which is causing chaos because it will be disrupting the
local bus service in Wellington all for a movie.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
What time of night?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
No details is to what time, but all I know
is twelfth and thirteenth of December, Courtney Place will be
shut down, basically screwing up the bus service.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Okay, so your loyalties with the buses, not with fire
and Ash Everatar.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh life for me, life stops when the buses are
messed up.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'm hearing you. I've got quite strong feelings about Avatar.
Did you see one and two? I?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
No, I had no interest in it.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
No, I mean they're like this, like Smiths the Blue People.
But the thing that staggers me about Avatar? Right, and
I appreciate your anger, and thanks for luding me about that.
I've never once you know, how have you ever seen
Star Wars?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I grew up with Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know people, you know, people always quoting things from
Stort from Star Wars and talking about the storyline and
the character Luke I Am your father, all that sort
of stuff, the lightsabers. It seems to me like Avatar
has made no impact on popular culture at all. I've
never once heard anyone quoting or talking about Avatar.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And yet Wellington City will be ground to a whole
for the premiere of the latest Avatar movie.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I surprised. I don't necesarily think it's a bad thing.
I mean, I mean, Wellington's obsessed with movie making, aren't they.
And Witter and I presume a lot of that's happening
through them. But yeah, I'm hearing you.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well they're closing down Courtney Place for it, but they
will be walking the past and an abandoned movie theater
because Reading Courtney has been refurbished after being abandoned for
a number of years.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So what theater is it going to be?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
In the embassy at the end of Courtney Place? The
well known.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
A nice say of things with it. By the way,
Britain's just rung. He didn't come on areas minching. That's
seeing the German planes were flying over christ Church today.
We're playing spotters on the shirt. You've seen planes, let
us know, get in touch. If you've seen trailers with
speed cameras, get in touch. Gavett's Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, hey go mate, of course. But you know I.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Expect I expect people to be off course on a Friday.
Everyone slightly sideways, aren't they? Sounds like you are too it.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Up when it's blowing northwest. You've got to picture one
wing up.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah that's it. What's that?

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Well, you've got to fly sideways.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
That's me I'm hearing you. Yeah, that's the northwester.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Is it hot in christ today or tomorrow?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well they reckon it was thirty but it really wasn't
because it was breeze.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, breeze wild. Take it down to a three when
it seems you're mad.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Tour about keep it cool, keep it clean.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Keep it moving, let's keep it real.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Mm hmmm. Yeah, I was wringing about. Not many people
in New Zealand would.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
Know this too.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
But John Laws the broadcaster, Yep, you're obviously.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, because he was. He was ethically questionable.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Apparently they only caught him out once.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, but what didn't he has cashed for comedy. He
was paid to take. He was paid to take positions
on certain issues.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
He was paid to advertise to theodas.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, I think he was. I think he was paid
to Actually he sold us as a talkback host to
sell your opinion.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
For like thirty years. Yeah, almost as long as you
me old China.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, I haven't taken casture. I'm commercially I've taken I've
never taken money from anyone basics. If it's one, I
took money. I took two grand to do a to
do a to do a lot of ad about thirty
years ago. That would be it for me. Clean McLean skin.
One of the few in the industry.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
MONTT. I'll tell you what that is. That's awesome. But
anyway he did. He was on the air for thirty odd.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Years, successful broadcast, that's right.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, yeah, if you want to find anything out about him.
When I heard that he died the other day, I
thought I was trying to tell my son about him.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
You know, suns don't sunstand. Suns don't want to know
about radio.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
So what I did was I googled it, all right,
and there's a sixty minute documentary. They interviewed him three
times over his lifespan, and that pretty much says it all.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Did you live in Australia, Gav.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
Yeah, I did, mate, because it was out in the
bush and Kowgiley and beyond, and you could only get
Lawsy you know.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh sure this is interesting when you're doing opals or something.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
No, that's Koober pety.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh yeah, Well I don't know Cawgoley, Cooper pety pick town.
When you say out in the bush, it sounds sketchy.
We we a jilla row, So you know, No, I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
I don't know caw Gurley, Western Australia, out of nowhere
and it was very limited radio coverage, all right, But
Lawsy was so popular. He went from I think it
was too Ui and Sydney.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, because he was he was. He was ketting up
to the REPNX. Wasn't he the loved him?

Speaker 8 (07:57):
He was.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
He was very very good. Yeah, just talking.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
You know, were you five? Were you working in the mines?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Now, it was way before that is in You know what, Marcus,
I'm going to let you on a secret here.

Speaker 9 (08:13):
What all right?

Speaker 5 (08:15):
You know what I bought my wife today for our
thirtieth wedding anniversary.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'll have a guess. Don't tell me then, don't tell
me right then it'll be something. It'll be something.

Speaker 10 (08:34):
Thirty years You brought her?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You brought her?

Speaker 5 (08:40):
No, I've brought her a John there dick out front?

Speaker 9 (08:44):
Mather?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Oh wow, yeah? What were you doing in Kolgooli?

Speaker 5 (08:50):
I'm begging for more money? When I was seventeen, we
work it me on the mines, or went on a
farm for a start.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Okay, what cropping?

Speaker 10 (08:59):
What then?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
What sort of farm? It wouldn't be much rainfall?

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Wait yeah, wait, wait, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 9 (09:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Where's your wife now?

Speaker 5 (09:11):
GeV in size?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Where are you in my shed? Did she like what
you bought her? Or did you think it was more for.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
You a really tracky thing to drive. Actually even at
bamboos of me because I'm used to a wheels during.

Speaker 8 (09:26):
The up run.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, so why'd you buy it from?

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Because it should have a real mint job and half
the time.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Good on you, Marcus. Is it too hard for people
to walk to their ends a courtney place to cat? Well,
you're going to get commit to buses. You commit to buses.
Marcus annoys me when people flesh lights to warn of
police or speed cameras. Why would you want to encourage
your fellow motorists to endanger others. Well, because you're actually
taking those people to slow down. So actually it's a

(09:57):
good thing. You're making those people drive slower. And also
it's it's a kind thing to do with it. It's
kind of a bonding thing to flesh your lights. I
don't have a problem with it. Particular if you're a
community together, like the Bluff community. We're one road in,
one road out. We want to help each other. I

(10:18):
don't have a problem with that. There's a quake, intimidal.
I'm honor people, so we've got quakes. I think it's
going to be a big night tonight, I've already since that.
We've got breaking news, we've got planes, we've got tractors,
we've got buses, we've got avatar. Why do they keep
going with it? It has to be the least interesting.
A light earthquake. Oh it's quite a biggie. I thought

(10:38):
there'd be more people have felt that, did they? Ring
Darcy Dan or you want to ring Darcy? It was
a four twenty five k's east of ash Burton. Where
would you be with your twenty five k's east of
ash Burton? There'll be a town that'll be straight under
the under the epic center. When I say twenty five

(11:00):
k's what east beyond the weast west east beyond the
oship out at sea, it'd be off the coast of
Yere and the Canterburry Bite, off the mouth of the
Rakaya River. I would imagine Pindavas would be the closest.
You're Dave, you'll do welcome.

Speaker 11 (11:20):
Yeah, Magus, just another one of those camera trailer thing.
Ease is just south of pine on Saint hello Wan.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Just south of Hines.

Speaker 11 (11:30):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
They're going to take a bit of getting used to,
aren't they.

Speaker 11 (11:34):
Well, if you see it, see a big trailer like
that bold bill inside of the road. There's no vehicle
or anything in front of it. Well stupid. If you
get flying passes.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Did you get you? Do you get a flesh of light?
If you if you get picked?

Speaker 5 (11:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (11:50):
I haven't gone fast enough to to do that, but
I don't don't think so, because even even at one
that there's one just south of Tomoca, before you're hit
the open road. You one on a pole here and
you never see any question in the night. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Dave. Thank you. Twenty
past eight. Apparently it is going to be a real,
very good season for strawberries, and that's good news. What
I was surprised about the article I've just read is
that the peak time for strawberries has passed. The peak
time is mid November. I don't know what's going on.
I think they keep I think they keep them. I
think they keep them on the back burner so we

(12:30):
can get them for Christmas. So yeah, so this is
the peak time. I had a feed yesterday, I think.
But yeah, I went looking for fruit today. I thought, well,
it must have been time for stone fruit. Went round
the super magazine four of them looking for cherries and apricots,
but I only find nicktarines and plenty of strawberries. But

(12:53):
you know, the strawberries, the punnets are going to sketchy
size a lot of them. You got to actually look
and look at they said to be going rottening in
the contain. Anyway, I'm just up for a straw strawberry
or fruit discussion. If you are a grower, let us
know how the stone fruit are looking. When we're going
to get the cherries and the apricots and the peaches.
I know they normally a December thing, but I thought

(13:14):
sometimes you get an early taste, and no that I
particularly want cheeries. I know some people that I growers
and crumbers, but you don't want to just contact those
times of the because I think you're actually asking after cheeries,
which in some ways probably you are. But anyway, they're
great fruits. Strawberry, A couple of those, that's a ton
of times. You vite them and see for the day
so they're good, get rid of the top, pit on

(13:37):
the top, cut them up. Anyway, you're good to go.
And this is Marcus. Welcome in good evening.

Speaker 12 (13:42):
Hello.

Speaker 13 (13:43):
I thought i'd ring up because I'm not going to
say where I got my strawberries from because they're very
good and delivered to me. But they were absolutely tasted awful.
I really had lasty taste them, not another sweetness or anything.
I was appalled, and I googled it and it actually

(14:04):
said that it can affect your health, and I like that, Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, what do they say? They'll be fine? I just
because the ones I had, the flavor was great. Well,
they taste tell me what.

Speaker 13 (14:19):
Well, they just didn't taste of strawberries. They just there
was no strawberry taste at all. It was a sort of.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
A dull.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
Not moldy, but dull tasteless. Really actually, when I think
about it, was.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
The color like.

Speaker 13 (14:38):
They looked, and they looked they looked perfectly Okay, they
looked really really good, and I sort of bit into
one and that thought, oh my goodness. And then I
googled them and they said that that sometimes that's what
you get and that means and they actually said that
they did. You can do you a lot of harm
if you eat them like that, and.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
You'll be right with your strawberries. They're not going to fixture.
I've never known anyone to get sick from strawberries, Well,
I chucked them out.

Speaker 13 (15:05):
I don't want to. I don't undertake any risks.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Have you got compromised immunity or something?

Speaker 6 (15:13):
No, but I just.

Speaker 13 (15:15):
I don't like to eat things that upset my stomach.
Strawberries in New Zealand have always been so delicious.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, to worry that? Where were they from? Like a supermarket?

Speaker 13 (15:30):
A supermarket, it's very good to me.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
So I.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Want to bite the hand that feeds you. I can
appreciate you. I appreciate your sense to be around the
issue of your supermarket. The ones I got with from countdown,
they're fine. It was a yeah. When the planets get
smaller for you and they get flatter, like a flat plannet,
not a plastic don't prefer the one of the aluminium
tins anyway. I wanted really like, can you still pick
your own strawberries anywhere? Is that a thing? Where can

(15:57):
you pick your own strawberries this time of the year.
That's what I want to be doing. I want to
be doing that now down South you have picked your
own blueberries is very good. But we don't have picked
your own strawberries. We've got them at home. In the
tunnel house. Quite a good crop. I don't know where
you can pick your own. I like a place where
you can pick your own strawberries and then you can
get a real fruit ice cream there as well. That's

(16:22):
the perfect combo for me, which reminds me of the
time that I was actually, and I often say this story,
I was walking from the airport in Auckland into the city.
I was going through Margoti one of those hot days,
and I thought, well, I'll go get myself. I'll pick
your own ice cream, and went in there to the
place on but I forget what it was called bar
to drive or something, the ice cream shopped there. And
went in there and went to get my pick your

(16:46):
own ice cream was cash only. Oh, jeepus cream. That's
a shame because I already had an ice cream and
I thought that was a good thing. So I thought, oh,
that's a shame, and left and kept walking and what
do you know, next thing, A policewoman drove up alongside
me and she'd brought me an ice cream. Goodness, gracious me,
there you go, just like that, Just like that, you

(17:06):
can change the reputation of the force. Extraordinary moment in
my life. So there we go.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
So yeah, what's that a metaphor for how much I
like ice cream? And how kindness can go a long way?
And I guess what she was doing was playing it forward?
Is that what you call it? That's what you people like,
don't you when you pay for someone's groceries. But this
was a bit different because clearly I couldn't pay for
it because I didn't have the right cash. That's what
it was, cash only, which is sketchy in itself. Anyway,

(17:33):
that's my story. England are all out Australia and Smith
is seven of thirty three bulls. I hate to sound uncharitable,
bit of like he'll get a ball to the shoulders
sooner will be out. Has it him been caught behind?
He's gone. As I said that, I think he's been
caught behind. Good job, out you go, cry baby the

(17:58):
review time, I don't have a lot of animosity for
of people. I don't like that guy Smith. I'm surprised
he's still there, to be honest. Review it, review it,
get them out, it's caught behind nothing, didn't see the
full details. I'm watching it now back. This is the
Eshes office pad. So there we go there on. Oh,

(18:20):
I haven't read any texts tonight, have I gosh you
already we've covered Avatar and John Laws and strawberries. We're
gonna be hungry for topics tonight, hungry like the wolf.
If you got anything to add, it's loose tonight, loose
like a goose. Marcus, you're like many people who just
can't shake countdown for Woolworths. I'll always call them countdown.

(18:43):
Woolworths to me is always a store that was more
like for kids' clothes and stuff. It doesn't feel like
it would Woolworths paying it for not playing it for
that's rugby Mayhesh. Thank you, Mahesh. Appreciate that. Anyway, we
talk about picking your own week, and you still pick
your own strawberries. Half past eight Nina headlines.

Speaker 14 (19:06):
Thank you, Marcus.

Speaker 15 (19:07):
I still say countdown, by the way, yeah, and you
can pack your own strawberries just outside of h.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Julian, you've got a difficult seguay, have you? No?

Speaker 14 (19:19):
No, no, did you expect you?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I thought you might be at Metallica this week? But no,
that wasn't you.

Speaker 14 (19:26):
No, that is definitely not me.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Is that not your wheelhouse? No? Picture been up really
well serious, I've never reached I don't know much, but
I only know the bits that you've said. Yeah, I
picture as Metallica. Don't take that.

Speaker 14 (19:38):
No, I'm just yeah, I am really not Metallica.

Speaker 15 (19:42):
No, no, no, nothing against Metallica.

Speaker 14 (19:45):
That's just not my cup of tea.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Really yeah.

Speaker 15 (19:48):
And I live near Eden Park. I can see Eden
Park into Eating Park from where I live.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I really thought, well, look what pounds to pennies that
you'd be Metallica?

Speaker 14 (19:55):
No really wow, no, like.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Really not Metallica, like it would never even given a
free ticket, wouldn't go.

Speaker 15 (20:02):
No, No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Really not into Metallica.

Speaker 16 (20:06):
No.

Speaker 14 (20:06):
I hear that tool is on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yes, yes, not that wouldn't be you either though.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
No.

Speaker 14 (20:11):
No, Darcy Waldergrave is going, he's excited. I'm not my thing.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well, good ship with all the station goss, aren't you?

Speaker 17 (20:18):
Who's going?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
What's doing? Thanks? Nina. Twenty had away from nine. We
should have had a pole with the lists if they
thought you were into metallic or not? Anyway, twenty had
away from nine eight hundred and eighty ten eighty looking
forward to your input tonight. Smith's still not out. We'll
be celebrating if we goes. That will be the situation being.

I was probably only a k or two over, so
I'm not too worried.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'm never quite sure how much rigor room you've got

reporting your speed house. The temperatures are hot there, Yeah,
it's not too bad at the moment.

Speaker 10 (21:31):
It was hot.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
I love the bus.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
But can you get the bus to where you pick
your own?

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well that's something, isn't it. Well that's well, that's reason
to move to Nelson.

Speaker 7 (22:33):

Speaker 7 (23:31):

Speaker 2 (23:32):

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Pain.

Speaker 2 (23:37):

a tourist resorts here. There's everything here.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yes, that's right, everything e it trains.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
Oh well, well we've got a very very good railway
reserve full of cyclists.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Brilliant. Let's not get for the cyclists. Red Bridge berries
have picked your own berries, real fruit, ice cream and
the season. Not at the moment we read barn and
Master the beautiful stories with their self and their roadside stalls. Desirama.
I think the unit from read we read Barnet texts
quite often Marcus picked your own strawberries on why Tarkety
Road West Talk. Well, once they finished applying the supermarkets

(24:23):
early mid December, anyway, we took about pick your own
Windermere Gardens two minutes north of wang and Ui towards
Max will pick your own strawberries and real fruit ice cream. Well,
we got the bus last year home from we had
up north. We caught the bus back. I did come
past that on the way to Utucky. We stayed there.

(24:44):
We went forgot the bus from New Plymouth to and
we came past Maxwell. I saw all the berriers, not
cheap as that looks reburry. You see a lot from
the bus although the bus ride that were actually yeah,
we had a bit of a situation because the bus
drive actually wanted to leave earlier than we were already.
But it's all right. I agree. It's countdown to the
young theyne called them Wiolworth's. It's always countdown, and every

(25:08):
time you get a countdown you always go do do
do do. From the final countdown, you find yourself doing that. Marcus.
The best strawberries and blueberries and ice creamst pure pure
berry farm, Rosy lug It strawberries pick your own.

Speaker 17 (25:24):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
We used to get our strawberries from the big strawberry
farm at Trick. I don't think that would be there anymore,
would it. So what have we talked about so far?
The Avatar movies? Magic sand that's far from magic. Magic
sand not magic at all. A terrifying kind of a

(25:47):
thing that I'd like to know. How much asbestos is
in it? Do we know yet? I still they're quite
sketchy with details, HOI, Marcus, are a lot of places
around Qumu and Margiti where you can pick strawberries. I
thought all those places would be converted to kind of
park and ride places around the airport. So please have

(26:09):
still got some horticulture close to the city. Twenty four
for one Australia. It's a situation. It's not up on
the screen what they're chasing, but I'll come up with
that before too long. Twenty two to nine. If you've
got anything that you want to discuss tonight, then be
my guest quite literally, get in touch with the show
and I'll keep you updated with what's going on. Also

(26:31):
Jim Steeden after twelve Australia troused by one forty eight,
so I didn't get many. They're out for shy of
two hundred the Brits one seventy two, so pretty average.
By the way, I'm not going to explain this many times,
but next Friday is Black Friday. Now that is not
Friday the thirteenth. That's a different Black Friday where it

(26:52):
means you buy tat cheaply, but more often not they've
put it up beforehand to make it look cheap. Be wary.
Nineteen to nine, Steve, this is Marcus.

Speaker 19 (27:02):
Welcome, Oh Mircus thousand's going tonight.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, good stuf.

Speaker 19 (27:08):
Well, I'll comment very quickly on your berries and your strawberries.
Plenty of places out south of Auckland Pooka Kuey Way.
We've got one in Bombay for picking strawberries. One out
just on the other side in a smaller town, Patamahoey.
There's plenty of places out there. There's one just outside
of Drury, lots of strawberries. But my favorite one would

(27:28):
be to go to just outside of Hamilton on the
way to Raglan. There's one there where you can go
and pack boisonberries and raspberries and blueberries and strawberries.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
If you pick your.

Speaker 19 (27:37):
Dining right for the season.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
So are they picking ice creams at Patamahole? And can
we just can we just can we just celebrate the
person that invented that, because that's revolutionized ice creams. That
they're very good with that screw that comes down there.
They're a great thing.

Speaker 19 (27:51):
But anyway, there's so many of them now, isn't there.
There's so many of them. Every strawberry picking place.

Speaker 20 (27:58):
Has got one.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
And look, honestly, because that's what you want to do,
you pick your strawberries that you want a nice it's
spent anyway.

Speaker 19 (28:08):
Anyway, that's actually not what I rang you for.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Hang on, because I like your confidence and what you're saying.
How much do they are they picking already at Drury
and Pata Mahoey?

Speaker 19 (28:17):
Absolutely yeah, advertising it and plenty of people.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Turning, okay, and how much? How much per kilo?

Speaker 19 (28:25):
Haven't been myself this year yet, so I don't know,
but drives past it regularly and often see them fishing
on the weekend. Lots of people there.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Okay, wow, And that would be one of the great
awkward things that people would still afford to do, would
be going to pick up strawberries. You drive there, get
yourself two hours in traffic, get there, get that, pick
those a couple of buckets, some for the neighbors, get
yourself a real freud ice.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Pretty much a day, isn't it. It's as good as
it gets.

Speaker 19 (28:48):
Always take my family, three children and myself and my wife.
We always go every year about the beginning of December
and family.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Now, Steve, that's not what I really wanted to talk
to you about.

Speaker 19 (29:00):
So you said ring about anything. And I had a
really interesting life out of interesting anyway situation. I went
a holiday to Vietnam. I've never been to Vietnam before,
and we're not an organized on your own wife and
I went sideline story went for some dental work. But
that's the whole different different Wow, yep, highly recommend that.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
By the way, you don't, but.

Speaker 19 (29:25):
Do highly recommend it.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Who looked after the kids?

Speaker 19 (29:30):
One of them is old enough to look after the other.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Two, Now, well that's something anyways.

Speaker 19 (29:36):
For a good spread of ages. Gentle work got done
so damn quickly that we ended up with at a
time in her hands. So we booked a tour and
we went to an area outside of Hotim and that
has monkeys, running around and yeah I did. I did
exactly as I was told by the tour guide. And

(29:57):
you know, don't don't feed those monkeys, they're the gangster monkeys.
Only feed these ones here because those are the ones
that are safe. And I had the designated peanut in
my hand and this monkey took the peanut very gingerly
out of my hand and then grabbed hold of my hand,
pulled it up to its mouth and gave me a
little nip, isn't it. Yeah, that's tiniest of little things.

(30:17):
And I never thought anything of it. Chances have it.
I came back to New Zealand, I ran into my
doctor in the countdown Flash Wilworths.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Go straight away and get rabies shots.

Speaker 19 (30:29):
Who I didn't know?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I came from New Zealand and I know you. Oh.

Speaker 19 (30:39):
I became a case where I got reported to the
Ministry of Health. I had to get special.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
So who do you meet in the in the your countdown?

Speaker 17 (30:50):
My GP?

Speaker 19 (30:51):
My GP happened to be in the in countdown.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
And what you.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
Lately?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Have you?

Speaker 21 (30:59):
No?

Speaker 19 (30:59):
No, I was, I was saying to him, you know, hi,
how's it going. Long term relationship with the GP over
over years, years happened to mention that we'd just come
back from Vietnam, and I got written by a monkey
and he went, my goodness, help move now. Sent me
to a clinic in remu Era. I had to get

(31:20):
nine injections in one day. Six of them were directly
into my hand with rabies immoglobin blood product plasma, which
I had to get special approval from the Ministry of
Health to obtain. Blew my hand up like a salami
because it's like a yell type stuff. Follow up injections
under rabi's protocols for the World Health Organization's various.

Speaker 22 (31:44):
Study that they do.

Speaker 19 (31:46):
And I spoke to the doctor in question at this
clinic and I said, I didn't know. I spoke to
the tour guide. The tour guide didn't seem concerned. Nobody
else seemed to be concerned.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
And she just.

Speaker 19 (31:58):
Said, you come from New Zealand. You don't obviously know.
She said, if you came from a country that had
this regularly as rape. These rabies isn't in New Zealand,
but everywhere else in the world that has it, would know.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
How long since you got bitten? Did you see the
GPN countdown?

Speaker 19 (32:14):
It was ten days and Apparently that is right on
the cusp.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Of being concerned, and you find.

Speaker 19 (32:20):
That perfect And apparently it's one hundred percent effective. I've learned,
and apparently the worst place to be bitten is around
the head. The second worst place to be bitten is
on your hand, because it doesn't travel through your blood.
It travels through your nerve pathways, and there's more nerves
in your fingers than anywhere else in your body. But
it travels to your brain. So therefore, being bitten around

(32:41):
your head is the worst worst place. And it's three grades.
Apparently for the bite, it's a lick, it's a scratch,
or it's a breaking of the skin, And of course
I had fingers breaking of skin.

Speaker 17 (32:54):
I was world's highest classification.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Apparently you're not scared of water, no, apparently, Yeah, okay.

Speaker 19 (33:05):
Yeah, you're one hundred per think correct. I actually ran
into a person in my employment and he's a Filipino gentleman,
and he turned around. He knew straight away, oh, you've
got to be scared of water, scared of water and wind.
And I'm like, what I'm.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Going to run? Stephen's a fantastic story, and well told,
I'll put you on a card of the Night, Baby
in Corner of the Week all the year. We have

It sounds perfectly gorgeous voices you're coming through really clearly.

Speaker 23 (33:41):
Oh God, Okay, my corners rather boring compared to Stevens
that we were talking about fruit, and I just feel
like fruit is not very fresh in the supermarkets, all
the fruit shops these days.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
I don't know whether.

Speaker 23 (33:58):
I'm looking through rose kind of glasses of the past.
But where can you Does anyone have any tips on
where you get really good fresh fruit that's really fresh?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'll find out for you at least what part of
the country are you in?

Speaker 23 (34:14):
Auckland? So a big city, and I feel like the
super Marcus must bring in huge bins and sit on
them for weeks or something because they just doesn't seem fresh.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Okay, we'll find out more. I think Smith's gone caught

Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Jillian Good?

Speaker 24 (34:41):
I potentially need some help. I had to go at
making some shoe pastry and I use the Edmunds recipe
and I measured out all the ingredients before I started,
and my shoe pastry didn't rise. They like mini doorstops.

(35:04):
And I'd like to know what I did wrong. I
followed the instructions, but maybe I didn't do them long
enough or something. But if anybody's got any idea on
how to make shoe pastry that's light and fluffy and
ready to fill with your mixture, had.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Used the Edmunds pastry recipe before? No, okay, because I'm sure.
I mean, if it's in the Edmunds Cookbook, it's a
silly question of me because it will be tried and tested.
So leave it with me, Gillian, and I will find out. Okay, Okay,
thank you, my pleasure. Anyone can help Jillian get in
touch you stay there, jan I'll be with you soon.
It's eight to nine. Well, well now that the next

(35:46):
half shoe pastry c cho you're weeks. For those that know,
I don't know what would be hard with that? It
looks delicious. Janet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (35:56):
Maybe she shouldn't use her shoes.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Janet Jean's Jah. That's a very poor joke. That wouldn't
even pass muster on them the Dawn Show. That would be.
That is one of the worst jokes. I thought you
were a.

Speaker 22 (36:09):
Ship reaching down in the bottom of the peril.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
We're scraping it. You're actually gone through the bottom of
the barrel.

Speaker 22 (36:18):
Had two things strawberry shortcake. Do you know how to
make it?

Speaker 6 (36:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I don't like the sound of that. I just like
my strawberries. Says they are or on a p I
don't want them cooked or on a pevl over. I
don't want them. I don't want to.

Speaker 22 (36:33):
Cooked.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
No, I don't. I'm not into that. I don't want
to sound dismissive, but that's sort of something I eat.
Really Yeah, closed mind today.

Speaker 22 (36:44):
Yeah to please?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Is it like a French figure they all on top?
Is it like?

Speaker 25 (36:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Okay, maybe custard and I wouldn't. I don't like custard
and that wouldn't know, maybe I would.

Speaker 22 (36:58):
Go hard work. Anyway, you were talking about that police
off of this buying you the ice cream because you
didn't have k yes, yeah, well that's what karma is.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Probably is that?

Speaker 22 (37:18):
Yeah, And I thought to we're talking about those sols,
you know, the pigs and crates, and me abject into
it strongly and trying to tell you, explain to you
what karma was. You know, I do unto others as
you do unto them, but also as you sell.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
So when you reap, yes, I have got a pretty
I have got a I think most of us have
a pretty good grasp of karma. But sometimes late at
night you're trying and extend a call a bit longer.
So I think we do. Yeah, I think most of
us do know what karmera is. But yeah, I'm hearing you.

Speaker 22 (37:55):
That's good. But did you hear what I.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
Said reap so?

Speaker 2 (37:59):
But it was interesting when you said so when you're
talking about sour crates as well, So there's almost like
a homonym in there too, wasn't there?

Speaker 22 (38:07):
And you're here, You're just clever. You can't help it.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Jan that's three flattering, Thank you. I'll get out of
that one while I still can. Three away from nine
Psmith has gone in the ashes. I'm watching that England
thirty one for three, which is not a great start
long way, this continue. This is the ashes and I
guess whatever Boxing day test are there down Under for

(38:32):
a while. I guess there's going to be five tests
always meant to get to an Esh's test. I don't
think it'll be this year. Maybe it could be this year,
maybe it could be could work out quite well. It's
been a long time between holidays and that's by choice. People.
I've got the mowing, just having got the war with

(38:52):
all get in touch on talk. We're talking about shoe
pastry free and getting anyone that's been bitten by monkey.
Nine oh seven. Welcome and good evening. There appears to
be another wok at the crowd. I think that's Kawas
you're out too. So Australia four for eight, one hundred
and thirty four runs, they lead by I think it's
been an exciting session. So yeah, England lead by that,

(39:14):
so look like went out cheaply. But Australia hasn't got
really none of their players are kicked on. Hey, welcome,
you can hear me, can you?

Speaker 19 (39:22):
Then?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Okay? Yep, yeah, yep, that's right. I've got new commns
now eight hundred and eighty tatty and nine nine two detect.
All the lines are free. I'll give you a bit
of a reset for the show. Jillian from christ Church
want to know what went wrong with her shoe pastry.
It was like a rock. It didn't even flare up
at all, disaster. Anyone's got any know about shoe recipe,

(39:45):
Let me know. So here's what people are saying. Most
likely she overworked the mix. It tough ands irreversibly. I
think she's overworked the mix. Shoe pastry tip eggs at
room temperature. Mix with a wooden spoon, not a met one. Andrea,

(40:09):
it's all about the egg. Shoe pastry is about feel,
not recipe. Keep beating the egg until a soft peak.
Someone's a good nutbar recipe. Good on you, Marcus, real
fresh fruit. Lisa is right. Even the vech apples taste old.
Keep we fruit seed better days. Even tomatoes no flavor.

(40:29):
I brought to carrots and put the fridge in two days.
I could part bid them. She's right. Even the strawberries
coming in our taste old. I think one needs to
look for the fruit chops, not dairies. Maybe a lot
of auckland better get fresh and having your fridge for
a few days, be prepared to pay more. Baby, people's
taste buds go as they get old. Have you thought
of that she's a smoker? Marcus Redward Ash's test in

(40:51):
two thousand and six best experienced Boxing Day at the
mcg full and amazing. Keep in gutch if you want
to talk here till twelve we are talking fresh, pick

year before last I had a real fruit ice cream,
a pluot flavored real fruit ice cream out at the
back of it. Forget where it was now it look

God, I don't know if you sound to me. You
sounds to me like you might be for real.

Speaker 26 (46:16):
Are you for real?

Speaker 16 (46:19):
I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Well, oh, by the way, haven't brought any fish and
chips in Queenstown.

Speaker 27 (46:25):
Have you?

Speaker 6 (46:26):
No?

Speaker 28 (46:27):
Mate?

Speaker 16 (46:27):
You never eat fishing queens down there is the number one.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Role because you can't see the sea. Never buy fish
and chips when you can't see the ocean. That's been
my rule forever. Brother. Yeah, I'm glad you're anyway. You
picked cheeries, yep, picking cherries?

Speaker 16 (46:43):
Yeah, so obviously growing up in Queenstown, a lot of
stone fruit and the Golden Triangle. Yeh, that's just kind
of what we did.

Speaker 29 (46:54):
We did growing up.

Speaker 16 (46:55):
And there's a bit of mathematics and a bit of
science and a bit of game theories of the whole.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Thing, you know, yeah, game theory. I'm here with you.

Speaker 16 (47:01):
Yep, yep, you're listening.

Speaker 17 (47:03):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (47:03):
Or is.

Speaker 6 (47:05):
Right?

Speaker 16 (47:06):
Show what they do on the orchards?

Speaker 2 (47:17):
How's it going there?

Speaker 16 (47:19):
So I just keep cutting out. So these orchards they
run parallel and obviously you've got you've got one player
either side. But there's this strap down the middle that's
a better no man's land.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Between the two walls, like the tusk, like the no man's.

Speaker 16 (47:38):
Own exactly right, mate, It's like we're back in World
War One and.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Who owns that place?

Speaker 16 (47:45):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Is that owned by no one? Is that common ground?
Or is that what you're saying?

Speaker 16 (47:50):
Great question, Great question.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
That's your mate. I think if you if you pushed
him as your mate, that's putting you astray. He should
be all sweelst thing I think it should make. That's
bringing you down.

Speaker 16 (48:01):
I'm walking away as we speak.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, I'll get rid of your mate. Anyway, keep going down.
I'm gonna be with you.

Speaker 16 (48:07):
Yeah, as you're precking cherries, you've got to go to
no man's plan first and then you retreat because if
you don't, then you're just giving up free cherries.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah, okay, I don't will leave it there, James, but
I appreciate the effort that you put in. I think
it was a good call there somewhere they got the
right lines just there of you, mate, Not to be there.
Thing that's cracking you up. Anyway, get in touch. You
do want to talk eight hundred. You know there is
title twelve. What's another work in the crick I think
there was someone walking off there? Now let me just check. No,
maybe not not to replay. No I did forty two

(48:39):
for four is the score currently? We to shoe pastry.
That's important. And we are talking about all manner of
other stuff also tonight. When I say all men of
other stuff, oh no about picking your own fruit, real
fruit ice cream. I think all those machines are made
in Nelson, great machines. I think that's I don't know

(49:01):
why they haven't explored them all around the world. That's
a world be to that one. But we are talking
about that also tonight. Anything else you want to come
through with Also, the one thing we won't do is
a sweepsteak for the rugby. I don't feel in the
mood for that. That's the Whales, Wells Whales, Welsh, the Whales,
the Welsh team that Sunday morning. I think we'll avoid there.
Anything else you want to come through and talk about
that would be that would be the theme for tonight.

(49:23):
There are other topics, yeah, I think probably when it
comes to fruit, fruit, and gross of fruit and produce
at the supermarket, I guess probably maybe some of the
flavors been bred out for taste. Sorry, some of the
tastes been freed out for shape. They're gone for the

(49:45):
bright colors and the uniformity, which is probably not the
best of it was the fruit. But ye, I think
we get to pretty well by it. Some of the
apples are in the call stals for long time came.
It's suspect, but the word is we're in for a really,
really bump up strawberry season this Christmas. By the way,
in christ Jewich temperatures will go to thirty degrees of

(50:06):
christ You didn't reached the high twenties on Friday, while
christ Church, even at thirty the Met Services is on
the upper end of temperatures for November. Met Service mythologist
Lewis Ferris Wheel told Stuff a combination of quite warm
Ear and northwest the Wines had pumped temperatures up, with
eastern areas of both islands bring the brunt of the warmth.

(50:29):
Master has been looking to be quite hot, but even
places like huangan Nui are warm with an average and
Hamilton as well, So she's hot. So yeah, Friday, it
was the phone effect if eh, you know about that.
By the way, teas are going to plummet tomorrow. Cool
suddenly change moving through. But get out at people. It's

(50:52):
nineteen pastine. I'm looking forward to your contribution to HITTI twelve.
Oh yes, all the lines are free, twenty two past on.
Let's keep it going, Let's keep the spirit going. Let's
not let that last caller put us off with his
attempt at humor. I think he needed to be cracking
out with hysterics. That was his problem. Oh well, he'll
come through again one although I think he's right about

(51:12):
fish and chips. I only mentioned that because someone had
texted me and what they said was Oh Marcus blue
cod for dinner in Queenstown this evening. Forty dollars fifty
a piece of cod? How does this compare to bluff?
I think that's not bare. I think it's probably nine bucks.
But cod's expensive. Don't think you get it for less

(51:32):
than sixty bucks of kilo. So yeah, I don't know
how much an average piece of fish would weigh, but yeah,
I think probably that would be fair. And Queenstown rents
are high, so YA wouldn't qubble too much about that?

Speaker 17 (51:46):
Now?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
What else are people saying? Best cherries end of January?
Shoe pastry can be too hot or too soft when
the eggs are beaten into a roue. That's the crucial spit?
Did citizen guilds ages ago? That's from Tina? Do we
know who is the new tvn Z breakfasts? A lot

(52:07):
of people are asking that. I think someone said Gora's Garriman?
Was that mentioned?

Speaker 17 (52:12):
Did I hear that?

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Someone? Are saying? Just wondering who is the replacement for
Jenny May for breakfast? Mark a sixty year sixty five
year old planted raspberries and strawberries. Taste reminds me of childhood.
So free and sweet and fresh. Deb shoe pastry is
easiest sought to make all in one sauce when the
secret is beating each egg after butter's melt and boiling

(52:35):
water thoroughly before adding next one till four eggs are
all beaten, glossy thick mixture. Spoon on to tray and
watch them swill in the oven. A family favorite with
mylot with brandy crem and Siwin Call and melted chocolate
rizzle on top. Have it go, can't go wrong, Just
a bit horrified at the cost of gold Kiwi fruit
and New World and tie happy over ten dollars a killer.
Don't buy them. If it's a crazy price, you don't

(52:57):
buy them. Let the supermarkets end up with a rotten
fruit and realizing probably there's no points charging ten dollars
for Kiwi fruit Marcus. All the smallest bananas at the
supermarket taste identical to strawberries. Close your eyes, would take
your bite of your banana and hay press. It tastes
of a lovely ripe strawberry. Wow flour goes and after

(53:21):
butter melt of it before the eggs. Not sure if
this is what you're requesting. But delicious to make yourself.
No branding cream for the kids, just a bit of
icing sugar. I'm sure she followed the recipe properly. She
was on the Edmonds. I've never made chew pastry yet.
I'll probably give it a go though, I'm quite into that.

(53:42):
Is it the same thing to prefer to roll to
make those towers? That's all the rage?

Speaker 19 (53:45):
Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Something in boshe or something stupid? It's called what's it
called a boom and bosh? I saw it was all
on Mastershief not so long ago. I'll tell you what
the right word of it is. But you get in touch,
you on to talk on you, you might be there
might be something different. I don't know what it is
different tonight croak and that's right twenty six past nine
text emails a lot. You might be watching the cricket.

(54:12):
Good on you. I'll tell you the score and I
can said good crowd at Perth if your kiwis there,
won't There are plenty of Keywis moved to Perth, plenty
as Southenders go there. I don't quite know what that
connection is, but a lot of them seem to end
up living there. Give you this four for forty nine
trail by one two three be short test by the
looks of things, they know that's good or bear twenty

(54:33):
six past nine nine twenty eight Jim Steedden from midnight tonight,
welcome to the show. Hit til twelve o'clock. If youve
got to come through and part take good strawberries. We
are talking about also tonight we would talk. What else
are those speed cameras in the trailers? That's right, they're everywhere.
They've rolled them out now they are well, they were

(54:53):
rolling them out. They test them now they will and
truly have rolled them out and they are from inver
Cargill to Kaitaia. So watch out for them. They'll get
you because you don't expecting to slow down for a trailer.
I don't know how much you been pinged. I don't
know if you can get your demerits says they can
recognize you. But what does that mean? Wamadou has got
the Christmas parade tomorrow eleven am and planes going over

(55:15):
before about half past ten. Must be the first parade
in the country. Often helicopter rides too. Will miss Judy
May because she's a new Zealander. Not foreign. There's not
a good looking text from you, Wamadu.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
That's bad.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Someone said, I've never heard of shoe pastry? Do you
have that with toe jam? Quite good? It's quite a
good email that Dan. If you could have worked that
one up, that one would have been quite good. Simon
texts emails rather thirty degrees here all afternoon in christ
Church then dropped up into a represented evening, so I'll
be able to sleep soundly. Strong winds though. Oh and
the other story, what do you feel about council spending

(55:56):
big money on Christmas trees? Because Hamilton's gone big. They
have sped ihan one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Well,
they're looking to raise money to spend one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars to upgrade the frame for their Christmas tree.
I think it's paid for by Rotary. So yeah. Personally,

(56:25):
I'm not a big fan of communities having giant Christmas trees,
only because I think they look out of place. I
think New Zealand is slowly drifting away from a traditional Christmas.
They've realized no one really likes Christmas cake much and
they've realized steam putting it's too hot for in the
middle of summer, and they've realized all that Northern Hemisphere

(56:47):
Christmas stuff is probably not us. And you hear less
and less of those kind of red churchy carols. And
I just think as years ago when we're finding our
own kind of vibe for Christmas. So for me, the
giant Christmas trees look out of place. It's just not us.
That's my thoughts. Come at me if you think I'm wrong,
but that's yeah. I don't know which other places have

(57:07):
got giant Christmas trees. I think Auckland's got one that
didn't look bad. But you know, I mean, let's face it,
the challenges for Auckland. If you wrote down a list
of the things that's probably needs to be fixed in Auckland,
and your top fifty would not be we need a
better Christmas tree. I don't think that would make the

(57:30):
top hundred, but yeah, there we go. So I just
don't think it's us. That's my thoughts. You might have
your own. The only place that I think Christmas that
does well I think is the lights. They haven't Pookak
Park in New Plymouth. I think they always look wonderful,
but they've always done, that always looks great. Such a
marvelous park.

Speaker 12 (57:50):
Four p.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Fifty three in the ashes. This is England Australia's betting
head on twelve green on seven. I'd love them to
lose at home. I don't love England, but I love
aust And of course we've got it's bears ball, isn't it.
That's the whole thing we should be excited about that mckellum, Calvin,

(58:14):
this is Marcus.

Speaker 20 (58:14):
Good evening, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 12 (58:17):
How a.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Very good thank you Calvin.

Speaker 26 (58:21):
Yes, he fella, I just had a bit of a
united stategy talking about the Christmas you know, the topic Christmas.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Yes, sure, and me.

Speaker 26 (58:34):
Yo, I reckon. I think, in my opinion, I believe
that you know, growing up with Christmas, it was such
a tradition that we used to always look forward to
as a kid. Whether you were like a mom or
a child or an infant or whatnot, you were always
looking forward to Christmas or such a big thing.

Speaker 28 (58:56):
Right.

Speaker 26 (58:57):
We still love it. Yeah, but the way humanity society
is progressing, and it's a little bit of a how
do I say it's a it's it's a lost tradition
in a way because of how we have evolved in

(59:17):
humanity and knowing and being so blunt about things. Before
it used to be like Tanta is coming tonight, you know,
put the stockings, put this, put that over there. It
was a belief, it was it was just a superstitial belief.
I say that, and we always looked forward to it.
But just because of hard things are progressing in humanity

(59:39):
with AI and everything. It's a Google and you say, hey,
it s hands are real. People say no, it's not real.
It's like, okay. It kind of puts that belief aside,
you know, so that joyfulness of just having the imagination
of a stream living your presence and stuff. I reckon
the younger generation they will not have that because the

(01:00:01):
younger generation it's not really I could be like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
A rattling in the background. Where are you? What's happening
in the background of that call?

Speaker 26 (01:00:11):
I'm really sorry. That's a water boil rat leak. Really sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
It's fine. It's just kind of it sounded quite christmasy.
Are you driving?

Speaker 30 (01:00:21):
Yes?

Speaker 26 (01:00:21):
I am driving, Like I said, yeah, I was driving,
and I heard you talk about Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
And I still don't think anyone's cancering Christmas. I just
think what. I think it's a very very good thing.
I think in New Zealand we're getting own vibe with Christmas,
and we've realized it's a summer it's a summer holiday,
and I think that's highly appropriate. But you take your points.

Speaker 8 (01:00:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Keep it going, people, twenty four away from a ten
to ten ten ten Marcus. No speed cameras on the
go here in Riverton tonight, but still daylight and paradise. Marcus.
We've been picking up on strawberries about three weeks, very
sweet and delicious. Vigiegarts looking healthy too, looking fraud to
eating fresh dug freshly dug potatoes. Marcus. I'm guessing Nina's

(01:01:02):
into the blues. I don't reckon she is. Kristen Marcus,
well them.

Speaker 31 (01:01:07):
Good evening, Marcus, My goodness, gracious me, Christmas here in Chicago,
South in Chicago has our city Council has put up
these tired Christmasy flags on on the lampire.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
They sound light, they sound delightful.

Speaker 23 (01:01:30):
No, they are.

Speaker 31 (01:01:32):
Tired and awful. Really, yes, really, And once upon a
time here in this there were beautiful Christmas separations put
up in D Street and K Street, and and then

(01:01:54):
there were some funny ones that were put up that
were pink and blue and sort of knee on me
and tacky as So anyways, Christmas for me is just
worth family in Springs.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Yes, but no one's no one's no one's challenging that though,
are they?

Speaker 31 (01:02:20):
No, no one is challenging it, and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
I have I've spoken to hang hang on Christics. This
topic creep here. All I'm saying is that people, you
know how theres all those communities do the giant Christmas tree, right, Yeah,
I think that whole Christmas tree thing. I think people
are into that. I don't think people are craving that
Northern Hemisphere stuff so much anymore. Would you agree, Yeah,

(01:02:49):
I'd agree yea. That was trying to I think as
each year goes on, it seems that we're finding our
own Christmas identity. That's what I feel we're doing. Yeah,
I do, okay, but I'll check out those benners. They
sound they sound pretty into to me. Twenty two to
ten if you want to talk here or midnight four
for sixty one on the cricket. This is the Ashes.

(01:03:13):
I don't know how many years it's been sitt the issues.
It feels like about two or three. You never know,
it might happen annually. Oh, Mark is such a good chat,
especially interested in who is going to be the new
Backfoot breakfast host. My wife and I have been writing
down our top five predictions. I'm re excited about my
top five and no order Mike Hosking, Simon Dallo, Tama

(01:03:36):
t lem And wrote, Moriana Camo, Simon Bennett. I'd hate
to spring this to you, but I think, probably with
Mike Hosking and Simon Barnett, that a breakfast radio slot
would be a much much, much, much much much more

(01:03:59):
sought after job than doing breakfast TV. And I think
I've seed probably more than I need to say with
that one. Those people would not be keen to do that.
People want to work in radio. That's where the job
security is and that's where I mentioned, and those slots

(01:04:21):
the remuneration was so yeah, So yeah, you might think
those people would be going, but they would not have
any desire whatsoever to go there. That's what would be
a hard job to fill. So that's just my That's
just what I think I need to tell you there
for that one before you put yourself down the wrong road.

(01:04:43):
But because yeah, it's not where the it's not where
the money is because there's not the audience to drive.
The TV advertisings died, so there's no audience and there's
no revenue, and you've got a cast of thousands. TVs
would make no money with breakfast radio, they would just
do it. So it's going to drive audience through the day.

(01:05:05):
That would be my prediction. Email from Bali, looking forward
to visiting us in and flyback from Bali on Wednesday
for two weeks to see family across Canterbury. Talk about
fish and chips. I just can't do it right here
in Bali, so that's on the to do list, along
with walking the bank splins to track, luckily avoiding the

(01:05:26):
usine strikes by a few days. They have changed the
aircraft only twice the last two weeks, so I preparing
for lower staffing for sure. Sitting back with a local
drink called Anger Mirror. It's a mixed been pino noir
and port served on the rocks. Sounds great. Marcus. Can
we please talk about the health hazard to humans from asbestos.

(01:05:46):
It's not toxic. It does not sit in the shooting
poison arrows as you when one hits your skin. It's
fibrous and light weights exit fire retal and it's raw state.
Some fabric fibers can detach and become airborne. Oh I
think this, Yeah, I think if you look at the

(01:06:07):
deaths from asbestos in this country, there's certainly is dangers
associated with it. Children people each year die from asbestos
related diseases. It's the leading cause of work related deaths

(01:06:30):
in New Zealand. So yes, and that's just from asbestosis,
the alone from lung cancer and messo thaiomer So yeah,
she's a killer. So yeah, I don't think it's ever
got email minimizing that people will be really really worried.

(01:06:51):
I'm not saying they're going to get sick from that.
I think it's unlikely from that sand because it's still
all bonded. But yeah, I don't think you can dismiss
dismiss asbestos. Marc has got a chrisp Us break up
coming in a couple of weeks. What a crack up.
Even Secret sand And got a pay rise before I did.
It was twenty five last year, it's now thirty dollars.

(01:07:15):
So with so many big stores closed, now, I Sperhinkos,
where can I find snow globes. It's a simple gift,
gift and a forever gift. Thank you, I'd say, TIMU,
that's your plays for snow globes. They're probably be made
by exploited labor, would they. It's where you get them there,
they'll be ground zero for them. Can I say that?
Seventeen to ten Texan call if you like, well, go

(01:07:38):
watch the cricket four for sixty nine heads on twenty off,
twenty eight balls green fifteen from thirty four England got pooh,
England got one seven six. I think Australia trail by
one hundred and three runs. So let's how they get
another breakthrough soon. This is the ASHES the first of
the ASHES tests, which would be great watching over the weekends.
Good time zone for us in the evening. This is

(01:07:58):
in Perth, the world's most remote city. Yeah, they don't know.
You don't know that, do you? They always talk about
that when you I'm over there. Hello, Bob Marcus, welcome
all that I.

Speaker 9 (01:08:09):
Market this evening.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Good thanks Bob.

Speaker 9 (01:08:12):
First off, we used to work on the West Coast
and buildings for the Festos tiling roofing and it even
went on fire one day and was flying around the
place and the fiber gad had to come up and
hold it out. But I'm not saying it doesn't harm anyone.
But I worked there for twelve years in it and
as I say, all the festest tiling was in the
tiling of the roofing. Yeah, and it didn't seem to

(01:08:34):
affect me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
I think it's dangerous when you when you're demolishing it
in fibers, if you're an electrician working with that piping
and stuff and it gets into your system.

Speaker 9 (01:08:43):
Yeah, Well, the fiber game, we're pretty concerned when they
turned up because I was actually inside the building getting
out a motorbike and some moss. That's where there's no
one in there. Of course, three old.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Bob was in there getting out a motorbike and oh,
I thought it was good moth.

Speaker 9 (01:08:57):
So I thought, well, I'll get it out to the owner.
And then when we when I finally found out later on,
it was the rubbis stuff we were throwing out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Anyway, did you say more?

Speaker 9 (01:09:06):
And yeah, And the reason the cortext magnamut moss, the
reason the court white was with stacked the bag so
high and it was touching the light.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Bulb is the money and moss Fagnam moss.

Speaker 9 (01:09:19):
There are a lot of big money in the early
days when you could get a six foot long Yeah,
they made They sat out over in China for orchard
plants and all that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
And what happened did it get over exploited, ordered the
market for because of some synthetic product.

Speaker 9 (01:09:36):
Basically both the market was plundered. Everyone got all the
good moss and just left all the shitty stuck. And
also they're using other things now, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Yeah, where would you gather it?

Speaker 9 (01:09:50):
On the coast, all over the place, and sheeps were
still there on on the farms. So the guy I
worked for boldly has died. He died of cancer, but
not with the moss. One of the biggest mosses over there.
And you would get paid by the thabs that detect them.
They take them in and wait them and then pay
you on what it was how much you affected for
the day.

Speaker 8 (01:10:10):
Did you call him.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Bob? Did you call him a mossy?

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
No? No?

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
No, the boss okay, yep, sure the boss is okay, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:10:20):
Poor Bager died But anyway, I I had a contract
with him that they would bring it another paddock, and
I would dry it and had just right up under
the tables and then dry it. And you couldn't let
it get too dry because then we could crunchy. And
you couldn't let it go too wet because they paved
me by the kilo and he wasn't paying for with moss,
so uh, I sort of had to get him between.

(01:10:43):
But yeah, all the buildings on and that'd been pulled
down now, but all they were up in Bobson Old
Live And it was actually on his birthday. I raced
down to us to tell him the fact he was
on Barren and on his birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
What sort of motorbike?

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
What?

Speaker 9 (01:10:59):
Just that four wheeler that we used to tow the
boss round? Yeah, okay, all this roofing in those days, Well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
Think about it. If the thing about it can be
thirty years until the five or actually figure it can
be thirty years until they actually start showing.

Speaker 9 (01:11:16):
Yeah, well, as long as it's just left, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
If it gets in your lungs, that lays latent for
a long long time.

Speaker 9 (01:11:25):
So maybe I'll stop breathing next year. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Yeah you could, you could mean, yeah, I don't want
to make fun.

Speaker 9 (01:11:30):
Of it, but you could, but up till now it
hasn't effectedly. Did they ship understanding, did.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
They ship the spag and moss out of the gray
or did they rail it over or what did.

Speaker 17 (01:11:40):
They A good question.

Speaker 9 (01:11:44):
It used to be imported, exported. I know that a
lot of it would go over and containers. It would
be also made into and what have we done here
would also be made into one kgo pax that we
would bag up and they all went out in the container. Yes,
I suppose they just went across on the boat.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Do you make millions? You made?

Speaker 17 (01:12:04):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:12:04):
Yes, it was a very wealthy man. Helicopters and everything.
Because what we used to do you wouldn't get a
wound there today. We used to fly on the hook,
which meant put the hook on and and fly down
and pick you up, and you'd put your pot through
the hook and I'd fly into a swamp drop drop
you off for the day, and then they'd come back
and all up and goes onto the truck I mean

(01:12:24):
labeled apartment. Every bloody hand takes for they seeing what
we used to do. Yeah, So anyway, it was just
this business roofing was I think I was concerned about
moss was a thirty years ago. Moss was a big business. Wow,
And I don't I don't mind saying I was one
of the top pickers because I was you. But you

(01:12:45):
just could go out and pick a bag and then
have a joint to see and then you know, knock
around and then maybe pick another bag. Well, I had
a family of feed, so I had to keep going.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
We on commission.

Speaker 9 (01:12:55):
Yeah, you got per bag per big thatch.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Wolf edges how much a fedge?

Speaker 9 (01:13:02):
Twenty bucks in those days. But the thing was you
were self employed. Contracts there to pay you jack you
feel mees and everything doesn't sound much, but I know
the day it was quite good because the moss was
very long, yeah, and you could get But now it's
all matted up with jolly fair and roots and god
knows what it was really certain we got a docent
patch of these days. But I was a big thing
of that early days.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
What year we talking early nineties? Early eighties? Oh, rate eighties, brilliant,
very interesting, Bob, Thanks for that. Enjoyed that muchly nine
to ten.

Speaker 16 (01:13:35):
Evening, Glenus, Oh how are you market?

Speaker 12 (01:13:39):
Many years ago, my dad and my mother went to
the zoo in the Okan Zoo in the old days,
she could smoke cigarettes, and the monkey was getting agitated
with my dad, and Dad was sort of joking with him,
you know, and the monkey put chimpanzee put his hand
through the bar and Mom said, oh, he's gonna scratch you.

(01:13:59):
He didn't scratch my dad. He grabbed a cigarette out
of his hand and started smoking back to me. He
went back to the other chimpanzees was going puff, puff puff.
That's all he wanted was a cigarette. No, I member,
It was so funny, Dad told me, because he thought
he was going to get scratched by the monkey, you know.

(01:14:19):
But what he did was he wanted the fag.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
I remember going to the zoo with school teachers who
would light cigarettes menthole ones and throw them into the
chimpanzees to smoke, which even I thought it was strange
at the time.

Speaker 17 (01:14:32):
But yeah, he was coughing.

Speaker 12 (01:14:34):
He was coughing away.

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
Dad.

Speaker 12 (01:14:36):
That'll said, you're right, won't it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
I died of lunkend to the chimpanzees.

Speaker 12 (01:14:40):
Yeah, yeah, he wanted him dead. Tho he was going
to get scratched and Mom said, what do you have
and he said, no, all he wants he wants, you see,
and he just brazenly reached out and grabbed it. Adam,
my dad's fingers said it was quite funny. Actually, this
was before you came along, was it, back in the
fifty year. I was born in forty nine. Yeah, Dad

(01:15:02):
was telling me. He was laughing. His head of mum said,
it's not funny. You could have he could choke, he said,
really better than getting scratched, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
You know the kind of they kind of smoked them,
kind of gripped in their hand like in a closed pool.
They were different how they.

Speaker 12 (01:15:17):
Did that like a human being and just puffing away
with it more like. And then the other chimpanzees were
looking at them, go shaking their heads.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Nice to talk, Glendus, thanks for that. Sticks Away from
ten four Away from ten Marcus. Glory of Veil is
one of the biggest producers of sphagnum moss you'll know
you're seeing at garden centers. It's that kind of white.
It's that white kind of mossy stuff that they use
often on plants. It holds a lot of moisture. It's

(01:15:49):
got some pretty interesting properties of sphagnum. Fun weird to say,
it feels very much like a Friday night because we're
talking about who's been written by monkey and Sphagnum moss
h and also, well, there's no shortage of topics tonight.
I'll read you the texts. Chips are not monkeys, they
are apes. I feel we know that. Marcus and the

(01:16:15):
seventh formth school, I had some free classes and tagged
along on a biology field trip to Auckland Zoo. Going
into the monkey closure, we're checking out the timer and
when I fell a drip on my head, I stepped
back to look up at one of the cute fuzzy buggers.
He had urinated straight down in front of me. I
took it as divine retribution for me going a trip
I wasn't meant.

Speaker 29 (01:16:35):
To be on.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Marcus. I was out one night watching the Christmas lights
and Harrowfield and Wellington and Hamilton with my children, and
a donkey behind a fence bit me on the arm,
famous Christmas light street, Oh, Harrowfield. Wouldn't it to be
bitten by a donkey as a child? When I went

(01:17:01):
to pet I was bit by an otter when they
had them in crow. No worries. There's a small punch
of wound and a little blood. I think that otter
must have been at Willow Park. Is that roal Willow Bank?
They had ATTO's at otters at Auckland Zoo, but they
escaped then I think they were sent to Willow Bank.

(01:17:24):
Remember that when jin the otter escaped, they felled it
and devon pulled under our house. The things we remember.
I always remember a story about an otter escaping. So
it's fruit and produce, places to pick your own fruit

(01:17:44):
before Christmas? When do we get to see the cherries?
Anyone had a job picking sphagna moss on the West coast.
We're also talking about that and Christmas trees, giant Christmas trees.
Who cares if your town's got a big Christmas tree
or not?

Speaker 12 (01:18:01):
Is it a thing?

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
I feel we gradually steering away from some of those
more traditional type Christmas kind of decorations, which is not
a bad thing. We're kind of doing our own vibe,
which I think is probably good anyway. Ten past ten
there's been another wicket has their damn yeah, six four

(01:18:27):
eighty three. No one's got established for many, not for many.
Cameron Green just dout it'd be almost for twenty four.
He'd almost be their leads scorer. I would think, I'll
go to the live cricket scores for you off esp
and crick Info. Oh yes, here we are, here, we are.

(01:18:53):
Here's the lead score is. So far, no one's really
got established. But yeah, if you're on to it this,
oh ayeual, we're not gonna talk at the crew. Let's
get update that because that's the only sport that's on tonight.
So oh eight hundred and eighty said, if you've got
breaking news, let's know what the breaking news is tonight.

(01:19:16):
Be in touch if you want to be a part
of it. I'm not seeing a lot of news happening
around the country tonight, but if I find something, I
will let you know about that. So get in touch.
If you want to talk making shoe pastry, the person
that failed with that, if you've got some suggestions for them,
and the guy that was written by chimpanzee and Vietnam,

(01:19:41):
and we talk about people that have been bitten by animals.
That's some of the discussion for tonight. So yeah, if
there's lines fish you want to talk about something else
to come through. Just getting a drink to pet myself
up for the rest of the night. But yeah, get
in touch. You want to be a part of the show,
You're more than welcome. You might be doing something interesting night.
You might you might be driving, you might be a
truck driving, you might be a nuber driver. You might

(01:20:02):
be doing something like that. That'd be good to hear
from you. Always keep those texts coming through. Tomorrow is
in XS Michaels Hutchin's anniversary. That should make Tiger Lily
in her thirties by now. I presume that's the anniversary
of his death, not his birth. I don't know how

(01:20:22):
long ago that would be, to be thirty years ago.
I can't remember where I was. It feels like a
long time. But yeah, be in touch if you want
to be part of the show. Now there's other stuff too.
I still want to talk about that. I still want
to talk about that magic sand that was sold. It
came out. I still don't think we've been I don't
think I've been very forthcoming with their information about that.
But they're saying for some daycares, it's going to cost

(01:20:44):
six figures to clean up the rooms where it was.
I'm going to change carpets and wallpaper and all sorts
of stuff. They sold sixty seven thousand units, so that's
a lot tens of thousands of pots. They've only talked

(01:21:04):
about getting rid of it from daycares, not from private homes.
And also from my understand they haven't told us how
much asbestos is in it. You think they'll be the
first thentthing guess how high the risks. So I don't
think it's been that well handled because I mean, I've
got just a passing interest in the news and I

(01:21:24):
haven't come across much information. It's his MB in other ages,
these are proactively testing samples, but I've heard none of
those tests or none of those results. The latest contaminate
items are the three eighty pots and fifteen different colors.

(01:21:45):
Samples of the products which are sold in the Dozens
of cut price retails and dollar stores have tested positive
for asbestos, so I don't know how many have tested
positive off with how much of an amount, It's not clear.
So this could be a story that goes on and
on and on. So I don't want to be a

(01:22:07):
down on that story, but it's pretty serious. So you
could mention that also tonight, but get in touch if
you want to. Marcus till twelve eight eighty anything else
you want to mention on talk about I'm here would
love to hear you. Mup, be something entirely different you
want to mention, and that'd be great to hear from you.

(01:22:28):
So yes, here we go.

Speaker 29 (01:22:29):
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
People? Get in touch if you feel like getting onto
the airwaves tonight and would love to hear from you. Now,
let me think what else I can say is get
you tended with tonight. Always up for a Christmas discussion,
Get your ham sorted, get your cake sorted, and get

(01:22:51):
in touch with anything else you want to mention on
this fine Friday. Tell you what else is happening tonight
around the world and around the country. Oh, people that
got bitten by animals? Marcus. When I was eleven, I
got bitten by a monkey monkey forest and uberd in BALI.
I had a bag of peanuts I want to share

(01:23:12):
with the monkeys, and a big man monkey came and
ripped the bag for my hand. I pulled the bag
back and he bit me on my ankle. No rabies
for me is He didn't break the skin, but I
had a round bite mark on my ankle for months afterwards.
Ouch Love your show. Always take you, Lucy. I have
been to Uhberd and the monkey Forest, but I stayed

(01:23:32):
well clear. I've never been one that's wanted to be
bitten by monkey so our talking being bitten by animals.
That's a discussion for now. If you are a full board,
mean light me up with that, that would be great. Also, strawberries,
it's going to be a very very good season. And
what I've just realized today that the peak time for
strawberries is peak November. So I don't know if they're

(01:23:53):
storing them all for Christmas, what happens with them or
how long they can kind of stop the ripening process
for if I feel they're not that available in the
stores just yet. But you might want to mention that
one hundred and eighty to thirty minumus Marcus, Good evening
here till twelve. It's all about the monkeys and chimpanzees.

(01:24:14):
If they're the same thing or anything else. They headle
twelve tonight happily. Now who should we go to Good evening? Kay?
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:24:28):
Hello Marcus. About shoe pastry, I didn't hear it at all,
but I used to make it a lot years ago
and it goes you start, it goes into lumps, and
you think it's an absolute disaster, but it's not. You

(01:24:49):
just if you've got a hand electric beta, put it
into the container and turn it on and beat us
and all those lumps will go and it'll become a lovely,
quite thick mixture. Or if you've got an electric cake
mixer on a stand, just pop it into the bowl

(01:25:11):
and turn the beaters on and it'll take all the
lumps out. Because you actually want quite a thick if
you're making cream puffs or chocolate declaars, you want that
mixture to be quite thick, and that's what you'll get.
But you need to get that electric that fast whipping

(01:25:33):
in there. Does it make sense to you?

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
So when you put it on the oven trail that it's.

Speaker 6 (01:25:39):
Oh no, you do that before you put it on
the oven.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Yes, But when you put that on, it's just a
solid it's a solid mixture, and all that aeration happens
and the cooking does it.

Speaker 6 (01:25:50):
When you do the beating. Okay, once you've you know,
because it's flour and buffer and whatever. It's so long
since I've made it, don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
The exa It sounds like you need to make it again.
Cake so delicious.

Speaker 25 (01:26:08):
Yeah it is that.

Speaker 6 (01:26:09):
It's really good, but it's when you're mixing it in
the pot and it goes lumpy. And because I remember
the first time I made it, I threw it out
because it was just lumpy. But if you if you
put it into a mixer, the mixing takes all the

(01:26:31):
lumps and it just goes into a lovely thick cream.
And then you can just either spoon it out or
put it in your paper and put it through the
forcer and it just comes out. But I usually used
to cook it on baking paper or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
You know, it expands a lot when it's cool. I
will do that because that sounds. I always love profer
I mean they are nice, so you'll get that to go.

Speaker 6 (01:27:02):
Yeah, it's it's in that mixing after you after it's
gone on two really solid lumps. But okay the lumps
get too solid and Nick, get it into the mixer
and give it a good beating.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Thank you, kay, thank you so much. Give it a
good beating. Good eating.

Speaker 8 (01:27:20):
Nick.

Speaker 17 (01:27:22):
Hi Marcus, how are you good thanking?

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
Nick?

Speaker 17 (01:27:26):
I was in Gibraltar with my dad and in the
we were walking up to the summers and in front
of me was an ape. He would have he was
sitting down. It was a male ape, and he would
have been sitting down about five foot tour He was huge,

(01:27:48):
and I thought, I'm not going past this ape. And
then he suddenly ran at me. Had I had some
food in my backpack, and I thought, oh my god,
I'm going to be raped by this ape and I wasn't,
and I just pushed him aside and we ran away.
But it was a terrifying spirit because they they're very

(01:28:13):
used to having people on the mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
With food. Yeah are they? Are they apes or their
barbary mckicks?

Speaker 9 (01:28:21):
Is it what they are?

Speaker 17 (01:28:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
Okay, I know, I know there's a lot of them
on that rock, aren't they They've always been there?

Speaker 17 (01:28:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's Yeah, it's pretty covered in apes.
I mean, and this, I mean he was probably the
predominant ape ape in the pack. He was massive. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
I think that sounds terrifying.

Speaker 17 (01:28:46):
Yeah, I was. I was really scared.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
Did you get to the top.

Speaker 5 (01:28:50):
I don't like no, I don't like monkeys.

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
And we're a lot of people trying to because people
climb the rock. Is that what you're doing Gibraltar?

Speaker 17 (01:28:59):
Well you yeah, you can take a lift to the
summit or you can walk. And we were pretty fit
thosed it was only ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Been a long long time ago, okay.

Speaker 17 (01:29:15):
But I'll never forget this ape. He was he was
really aggressive. He was not a happy ape.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
How do you get to the top of the Eerra
for Nicula?

Speaker 17 (01:29:26):
Yeah, if you want to take it for you. It's
a beautiful thing. When you go into Gibraltar for the
first time and you see the rock, it is just outstanding. Yeah,
it's just so pretty. And of course it's British, so
you know, the pub is British, restaurants all British. There's

(01:29:51):
quite a lot of naval presence in there. And then
when you are at the summit, I look down. You
can see Africa and you can see all these all
these ships commercial ship part waiting to get into the
harbor to offload product like oil or commercial containers. But

(01:30:15):
they can't all get in at once, so you've got
all these lights of these ships at night. It's just
a magical place.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
How far away is Africa from there? Twenty five k okay,
not far at all, Yeah, nice to hear from you, Nick,
thank you for that story. Twenty two past ten. Just
look at the cricket. The figures just came up from
the perth. Was it the wacker anyway? Fifty one thousand.
They're for a test about jumping day, so that's huge

(01:30:46):
the English teams in Australia for a long time. There's
the fourth test is the boxing day won. Then there's
I think January the first one as well, So it's
a long long time there in Australia. Very exciting, Lola,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 29 (01:30:57):
Hello.

Speaker 8 (01:31:00):
We're talking about making shoe pastry.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
Yes, is that right?

Speaker 8 (01:31:05):
Yes, yeah, I've made it quite a while ago. But
I made two kinds. When when you make the when
you put the flower in water all together, if it's
when it starts to thicken, sometimes you have to take
it off the heat and I use a wooden spatula,

(01:31:27):
not a wooden spoon, and you and you just beat
it and it comes right. And when you put the
eggs in when it's all made, it has to be
dropping consistency, so you put some on the spatula and
has to go PLoP PLoP. And I did one once

(01:31:49):
and it didn't PLoP.

Speaker 30 (01:31:50):
I didn't know about that.

Speaker 8 (01:31:53):
I've only found that in one recipe book and it
didn't rise. They were solid ass. So to get it
the right texture that arise, you have to hold the
spatula up and it needs to go PLoP plot and
that'll be the right texture and then it'll rise.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
Okay, because a woman that had rung up before, who's
were just solid air. So you're saying in that situation
you had to beat you hadn't beaten it enough.

Speaker 8 (01:32:23):
You have to get the right text. If it's tooth
that you need, you need to put.

Speaker 32 (01:32:28):
Some more water in it, okay, and to.

Speaker 8 (01:32:32):
So it goes when you hold you put it on
the statula and it has to start dropping like PLoP PLoP,
just like that. And if you if it's tooth that
it will stay solid and it won't rise.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 8 (01:32:50):
Also I had a chocolate icing dressing it I mean
not icing, and it was in the wood Coles school
book they used to college. It's had a white hardcover.
I haven't got here right now. It's out in the
kitchen and it had an icing for making for chocolated clears.

(01:33:12):
And you made it up, but you didn't stir it
after you just put the chocolate clears in and dipped
them and came out, and then you tuned them over
and let them dry, and if you stirred it it
would crystallize. And that was the best icing ever for
chocolated clears.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
And you can't find it.

Speaker 8 (01:33:34):
It was all it was all shiny.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
Pardon you've lost that recipe, have you?

Speaker 12 (01:33:40):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:33:40):
I haven't lost it. It's in the White Book. Actually,
I've got the book out on the table because I
was making white bait frehers. We got the most beautiful
white bait from Westport and they were baby baby.

Speaker 32 (01:34:01):
White bait.

Speaker 8 (01:34:03):
My son sent me up at Keilo, so I've been
distributed it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Yeah, I had a mate come around down Saturday to
drop off some white bait. I don't think I could
tell you how much white bat he got, yeah, because
if you would be so envious, I couldn't believe the amount.
But yeah, it must have been. There were people that
have been in places. Boy, they got a lot.

Speaker 8 (01:34:28):
Yeah, I'm just looking up.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
Watch page.

Speaker 8 (01:34:35):
Icing icing's two fifty four fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
Five Because you say you don't stir it?

Speaker 17 (01:34:48):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (01:34:49):
You just.

Speaker 8 (01:34:56):
Two fifty page chocolate icing? It's oh that's not the
one that's got mounted chocolate.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
Okay, I'm hoping to leave it there. A lot of it.
Thanks coming to the headlines. But thank you so much
for that anyway, and it's free helpful your shoe pastry techniques.
Liking that a lot cricket one one three four six
thirty five overs Australia Troughs by fifty nine fifty one
thousand people for the first match of a cricket test.
First to have of a cricket test. That's in Perth.

(01:35:33):
One guy had a cockroach on the back of his
shirt which the camera's wrong. For quite a while we
were quite weird. Marcus. Check out the small robin plane
flying around Auckland right now in flight radar. Great flight path?
Is that a funny one. I think what people like
to do now is make words with their with their planes.
I'll check that flight bigger. Pardon Dan, have you? Dan's

(01:35:57):
emailed it to me legend now, I think I've quite
got that here. If you push send here we go
there through Now they've done. Eying user in Koru. Thank
you for that. Well done to them, well spotted. Thank you, Marcus.
Is above as a collage or some of my Christmas collection.

(01:36:20):
We used to put up a six foot or a
four foot tree sublimets. It was me putting the trail
on the ladder doing lights outside the house. Stopped that
getting too old. And twenty seventeen, when our daughter came
back from Oe, she brought me my first tea light
house even I've displayed on our windows sills that face
the street. You don't need to use candles, just get
the battery. Tea lights from came out of two dollars ships.
I enjoyed doing it. Thank you for that. Very pleasant.

(01:36:41):
They are too and the texts. As a kid back
in the eighties, we went to the aucand lnesafarer E
Park and in the cafe there was a small monkey
eating super wine type biscuits. I thought i'd feed it
as I picked up the biscuit and you brought it
back towards me. The monkey thought I was taking it
and bit me on the hand. Have been bitten by
a few large snakes in South Africa, large borrow constrictor

(01:37:04):
corn snakes, all none venomous. Also bitten by a large catfish.
All hurts a lot less than what you would think.
They are monkeys, not apes. On Gibraltar. I think they're
the Cacs Marcus. I don't have to go overseas for
a monkey interaction. Dneeden Potantical Gardens in the nineteen fifties

(01:37:25):
and nineteen and sixties had a couple of cages with monkeys.
I got too close to the young kid with my
nose right up to the wire. The monkey climbed in
the cage and sprang down and scratched my nose on
the way past, naturally upsetting me a little kid, Dennis.
That would be terrifying. Another wicket in the cricket Stokes
is on three for twenty five Australia one one eight

(01:37:46):
four seven. Hello Lewis, Hi there.

Speaker 29 (01:37:52):
I'm just these all blacks.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
You know, I'm nervous, nervous about what.

Speaker 29 (01:38:01):
Well we're not playing too great, and I'm just nervous
about the Welsh. You know, they're not playing too great either,
and I'm I'm just not quite sure that we're actually
going to get over them.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Wouldn't that be great if Wales beat us.

Speaker 29 (01:38:17):
Well the time in history, wouldn't it, or the fourth
time in their history that has.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Beaten us, but they've been terrible lately. That would be
a great boost for them. That would be a great
thing for them, I.

Speaker 29 (01:38:26):
Think, yeah, But how bad would it be for us?
You know, to Wales.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
I'm not on the team, so I don't I'm not
on the field to I don't really care that much.
I guess is where I've got to on this one.
I just enjoyed the drama of it all and our
people ring the next week and say he's got Robinson's
got to go.

Speaker 29 (01:38:47):
Well, look for sure if he's if he's going to
lose to Wales, he has to go. I mean, they're
no good. It's terrible state of affairs. I mean we
got close Scotland, they nearly got over the line there.
That was close. But Wales that would be a completely
different story. I mean the Scottish were a good team,
got a good back line, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
But sometimes isn't What isn't what is exciting is when
there are results that really go against what everyone isn't.
That what makes sport exciting.

Speaker 29 (01:39:19):
That doesn't quite make it exciting for an All Blacks fan, though,
And the All Blacks the top team in the world,
you know, supposedly.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
Well yeah, I would, yeah, are we the top on
the in the ratings at the moment.

Speaker 29 (01:39:35):
Well, no, I think South Africa are but you know,
the All Blacks have always going to be up there,
and I mean the Walsh aren't doing too good at all,
so you know, but I'm nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
We've played them thirty seven times and they've won three times.
So yeah, I don't think it's going to happen. But
they see it's gone for quite a different team, hasn't he.

Speaker 29 (01:39:53):
He has, yes, So I mean we're vulnerable.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
Will you get up to watch it?

Speaker 29 (01:40:00):
Probably not. I'll get up and watch the replay early
in the morning, but it's at two am I think
it is, or four am.

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
Or that's for I think when you get up to
watch the replay, will you know what that schoo? Will
you look at your phone first? Or you manage to
hide the score?

Speaker 29 (01:40:13):
Now I'll hide that score and no one.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
No one will tell you.

Speaker 29 (01:40:18):
Oh, someone might tell.

Speaker 2 (01:40:19):
Me that's what That's what I'd like. I don't like that.
I like to watch it live, but then I can't
be bothered watching it live, so it's hard for me.

Speaker 29 (01:40:27):
Hmm. What do you think about the Barretts?

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
I I had a long discussion about this on Monday night.
And everyone's there's no love for them anymore. Everyone likes
to be on the use by dates.

Speaker 29 (01:40:45):
Oh that's just rubbish, isn't that.

Speaker 8 (01:40:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
We'll see I guess.

Speaker 29 (01:40:50):
We'll see that, you know. God bless missus Barrett.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
God, please missus Barrett fair enough Lewis, thank you for that.
Twenty four to ten eleven email. Here saw a post
on Facebook where former Australian England cricketers gave the prediction
for the Ashes in Reguarre predicted Australia five zero. Someone
commented that if India were playing Sri Lanka, Regra would
still tip Australia. Yeah, quite good. Emails and texts, texts.

(01:41:20):
My mother in law's eighty four and makes the most
delicious chocolate. A clares is my husband's sixtieth next week.
I've envied invited a few friends and family around tomorrow night.
He has no idea I have ranged anything as all
he wanted to go fishing for a week. All he
want to do is go fishing for a week, which
we are doing for next Friday. Surely's bringing the air clears.
He's snoring next to me. Of course he is be

(01:41:45):
in touch with you want to talk on here. Also
stone fruit. If you're a grower, when is it going
to be in the shops, the cherries and the apricot.
That's what I'm waiting for. I might have gone a
bit earlier. They didn't get a rock melon, which looks
to be a fine rock melon, which I'm quite excited about. Fay,

(01:42:06):
this is Marcus. Greetings and welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:42:08):
See Marcus, that was quick. Please help me, Please help
me because I'm in a probably mood.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
It's not my job to get you ready in moods.
That's your own stuff.

Speaker 21 (01:42:21):
Remember when the orb Recks are overseas with Ian Foster
at one stage playing overseas and they announced that the
new All Breck captain is going to be Scott Robertson.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
Remember not really, but yeah, I'll take it from you.

Speaker 21 (01:42:35):
Yeah, I just said, good job. I hope that they
shouldn't have let him know that he was going to
manage until they came home. Anyhow, when they lose on
Saturday Sunday morning to Welsh, who will be put out?
And I think Jamie Joseph for becoming in as captain coach, coach, coach,
Jamie Johnson, Jamie Joseph I.

Speaker 2 (01:42:57):
Don't think they'll lose to Wales. It'll be exciting if
they do, because I think Wales, I mean, they love
their rugby. They're not prevery good at the moment.

Speaker 21 (01:43:07):
M Hey, what about ours? We're not one hundred percent
today this at the moment. And I'm pretty brassed off
about Bowden Beart. He didn't play a good game last week.
But it's disappointed he's not picked this week. One on
the bench.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
They don't want to give everyone a run though, don't they.
Isn't that what it why he's picked every all the others?

Speaker 21 (01:43:27):
Yeah, but he's he's over there, he's thirty four. He
just put his boots up this year, don't you think.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
Well, I guess rugby players should do what they want.
I don't know if many rugby players actually wish they'd
played longer. And I don't think many rugby players wish
they played lest They always seem to have the right ideas.
You know, good on them, but you've got you got
to make your money because you just got a short career,
haven't you.

Speaker 8 (01:43:53):
Well.

Speaker 21 (01:43:53):
He Robertson did really really well with the Canterbury and
if weu sad is you know he was a marvelous coach.
But I only said to think that there's a lot
of Irelanders in the team, and I don't think didn't
want to listen to Scotland.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
As Judy robertson, that's racist. I think if you're actually
saying that, a group of people won't listen.

Speaker 21 (01:44:13):
But it doesn't seem to get far with him.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
Yeah, I sort of think what you're saying slightly problematic. Yeah,
I'm not veryre I mean Ardie, are you talking about
PACIFICA players? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ardie savia And has been
picked in the world's best team, the one all black
on it. There's no other all blecks. It's just Ardie
Savea and the team of the year. But anyway, Jesse,

(01:44:43):
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 33 (01:44:46):
Oh how are you Marcus?

Speaker 34 (01:44:47):
How are you good?

Speaker 29 (01:44:48):
Jess?

Speaker 17 (01:44:48):
Were you mate?

Speaker 33 (01:44:50):
I'm on the freeway in Perth.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
Living the freeway to Freemantle or where.

Speaker 33 (01:44:57):
Well, I'm heading down south. So I've just finished up
my work function for the year, so I'm heading down self.

Speaker 17 (01:45:04):
And I don't know.

Speaker 33 (01:45:05):
You've been to.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Architectua, yes, and I've been down to Margaret River yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:45:10):
Perfect, perfect, So I'm heading that way, but not that far.

Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
That's right, that's what I thought you'd be heading.

Speaker 33 (01:45:15):
Yes, yeah, hitting down there, but I thought i'd bring
you because today obviously I didn't go to the cricket.
I had to work do. But the whole city here
in Perth was all ashes, mate, they love it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
Have you seen a lot of English around? It looks
to me like there's a fair few there.

Speaker 34 (01:45:31):
Oh, there's so many.

Speaker 33 (01:45:32):
And then we were just finishing up at work at
the pub and there was so many poems and singing
and all. It was really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
What's the temperature there today?

Speaker 33 (01:45:40):
Yes, tell twenty eight degrees twenty eight degrees but it
was beautiful conditions today, not too hot.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
And were are you are you working Perth?

Speaker 6 (01:45:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:45:51):
Work in Perth.

Speaker 33 (01:45:54):
Well I work from home, but they have the end
of year function in the city, so went after that
and then.

Speaker 26 (01:46:00):
Yeah, it was lovely.

Speaker 33 (01:46:02):
And sometimes you know, you have these work thes and
you sort of don't know what to expect. But they
had a murder mystery today.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
Fantastic. What industry, Yes, it's not extra extractive extractive industries.

Speaker 33 (01:46:13):
You're not in metals or coal, No, No, in education
market similar similar to like polytechs. I helped with will
the enrollments and that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Side of things, and are you going away for the
weekend or is that just what you do?

Speaker 33 (01:46:28):
No, won't go away. So heating home now and I
just rung them. It's about an hour drive home and
then wrung them as the sheep getting all the Christmas
trees up, and then I put you on and it's
getting a taste of home. And I heard people slandering
the Barratts and I thought, what's going on New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
They're slandering them on Monday. They're quite down on them.
Hey tell me something. Yes, so you live in Perth,
but you work in Perth but live an hour south.
Yeah yeah, yeah, does that work out well? I work
from home, so I don't understand.

Speaker 17 (01:47:00):
She said that to the city.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
Yeah yeah, so it'd big. Are you Bustleton? Is that
the place for this?

Speaker 12 (01:47:07):
No?

Speaker 33 (01:47:08):
No, so we're a place called we are Secret Harbor.

Speaker 2 (01:47:11):
Okay?

Speaker 34 (01:47:13):
Is it cooler?

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
Is that cooler there?

Speaker 7 (01:47:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 33 (01:47:21):
Little, it's a bit more beachy. So I guess you
get a bit of the breeze come in.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
Yeah, and you sound like you're quite established. How many
years you've been there?

Speaker 33 (01:47:31):
Oh sixteen?

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
Okay, Oh that's it you.

Speaker 8 (01:47:33):
Wow.

Speaker 33 (01:47:35):
Yeah, sixteen years. I still miss New Zealand, I really do.
But life is it's a little bit better in terms
of just a bit more opportunity, which is nice.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
Does it worry you how hard it is to come back?
Have you got family still here?

Speaker 33 (01:47:50):
Yeah, still got a bit of family, some really really
good friends.

Speaker 7 (01:47:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:47:56):
We don't come back too much because we've done the
trip back home. But it's kind of like for the
amount of money that you have to cough up, you
can go and see other parts of the work.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
It's a long It's a long way, isn't it. It's
a it's a long flight. It's expensive flight. It's never cheap.

Speaker 33 (01:48:12):
No, not not cheap. And but yeah, no nothing nothing
like I grew up in total her many many moons ago.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
Sure did you did you solve the murder mystery? We're
the winner?

Speaker 20 (01:48:27):
No, we last.

Speaker 33 (01:48:28):
We we So they had I think there were five
suspects and we were James Bond.

Speaker 6 (01:48:34):
Uh.

Speaker 33 (01:48:35):
And then each table had a different suspect and we
picked We thought it was this other agent that would
a double cross them or double cross the girls. Uh,
we were. I was with my boss, so I was
sitting with her and I was listening to her and
I better go with her ideas here.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
But we see, so the office hierarchy kicked in, like
you thought she might stick you if you win against her.

Speaker 33 (01:48:58):
Yeah, I had to play the game marker, so I
had to put the mask on, mate.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
Yeah, I just know if you've been phowing the cricket
score as I've been talking to you. There's been two wickets,
so the Ossie's is just about all that. Who are
you supporting in the Test to? Aren't you that into it?

Speaker 33 (01:49:11):
Ummm, well, I don't like the Aussie cricket.

Speaker 2 (01:49:13):
To I'll go yeah, me too. Don't like that guy Smith,
I'll bring it. Thanks so much, Jess, and happy Christmas
to you. I enjoyed talking to you. I'm just gonna
look at the score when it comes up one two,
one for nine. Oh that's a capitulation.

Speaker 7 (01:49:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
So the English rehead by fifty one arch is two
for nine. He's the quick. I think let's have a break,
nice girl. I'm just looking at the cricket. It's nine
for one hundred and twenty one, so I think it's
half an hour play left to go. I should have asked, Yess.

(01:49:51):
I think it's probably ten to five in the afternoon.
There they're going to twenty past five, so half an
hour's play left to go. But if both innings are
dismissed in the if both teams are dismissed in the
first day, I imagine then that Test would be unlikely
to go for more than three days, which you think

(01:50:14):
would be a bad thing for cricket and for Perth.
All these people that I don't quite know what you
think about think about that, but that does seem to
be it's unavoidable.

Speaker 11 (01:50:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
I don't really know. I haven't heard much about the wicket.
But you think it wanted to go five days? Wouldn't you?
Just from money at the over the level, look at
the at the venue anyway, I wouldn't imagine often and
Test rugby that both teams are dismissed in one day.

(01:50:44):
You might be watching, but they want to comment, Hi,
Marcus go Wales? Just what is needed? Will Jordan to
get beaten might make his head go down? And yes,
we have so many players been there too long. Need
some young guys. Robinson can't see passed, can to be
rugbies in my blood. But losing interest with this lot
yep and Henders of the other day. I got excited

(01:51:06):
when I saw cherries. They were twelve dollars for a
small punnet. I think the cherry is kicking more after Christmas,
but I always like to get the first taste. Eight
for eleven, so they've left the field on the cred
I don't know if it was leak al. I don't
think it'll be lack of light because it seems like
it's sunny, but it is a high walled stadium, so
maybe it's in shadow. So yeah, situation Stokes he led

(01:51:38):
the team off. He got five for twenty three, extraordinary
figures for the Aussie start. Got seven for fifty eight
seven wickets. That's unbelievable but yet an extraordary day of
cricket with nineteen wickets on the first day, so Australia
chasing one seven to two and nine for one two three,

(01:51:59):
So yes, I imagine they'll be well behind at the end.
There were forty behind it and I don't know if
the wicket's going to slow down or if there's going
to be as much movement, but might just go the
two days eh MEAs it will go three. But I'm
sure they're wanted a longer kind of a match if
you're flying all that way. A lot of the English
there is the pound strong mind those cricket supports, they've

(01:52:22):
got money to travel in the ashes. This kind of
catting up to them, isn't it. Haven't seen any shots,
so it seems like the bar the army is not
quite what it once was. Maybe there's maybe they're just
kicking them, but people might be coming out down for them,
mainly for their two week holiday over Christmas New Year.
So I don't know why it finished half an hour
to twenty five minutes early. I can't find the information

(01:52:45):
about that, but I hope you're enjoying watching it. It's
a great spectacle. There's a new you know how every
time with cricket they're looking for a new graphics package.
What I've noticed on this match is when the batsmen
are betting after they've played a shot, they convert how
the players standing to a stick figure and they show

(01:53:08):
what percentage of weight is on their front foot. Here's
always looking for a new gre graphic package to tell
people this is the latest I've ever seen this before.
Looks quite good, it's quite interesting. So that's what they're doing.
That's what I've seen and IT'SOK. A beautiful day in Perth,
in this magical stadium. Now I'm getting the rid of

(01:53:30):
the final hour for a week, a week that I've
loved as far as talk. But you have been there
in good amounts with good things to say, which I've loved. Marcus.
I think big change is coming for the All Blacks.
Boden bar has paid his last test. This will be
the last for Christi and Rico Ione A need to blood.
Preston Tongueto, Jacombe jacom but I don't know that players

(01:53:50):
name so before the World Cup need an out and
out ten not ten to fifteen. I am Manga or
jacomb Josh Lord player of the tour. He will push
Scott Barrett out. Thanks for that. Welcome people, This is
the final hour for me. Jim Steedon is a lot
at twelve. He always does Saturday morning. If you're just
new to this program, so get in touch if you

(01:54:13):
want to be a part of it, welcome untill twelve o'clock.
Get in touch. We've talked about strawberries. They say it's
a very very good season for them. But what I
was surprised about is the best time for said strawberries
has just been. It's mid November, and I think that's
really reflected the shop. So I think they keep them,
and I think they come in later. I think they

(01:54:33):
must keep it seems to be more a Christmas thing anyway.
Then we talk about Christmas fruit in general, when we'll
see the cherries and the stone fruit, but no word
yet from the orchardst If you're a picker, anyone knows
about that, whether it's going to be a good stone
fruit season or not. That's something that's of interest to me.
Also talking about being bitten by animals, After a guy

(01:54:55):
got bitten by a monkey, he went to Vietnam to
get his teeth fixed and it was very quick, so
they decided to go for a tour and when to
a place where they fed the monkeys. He got bitten,
but just happened to run into his doctor ten days
later at the supermag who took his bite very very seriously.

(01:55:16):
Had to get nine injections. I think one he had
to sign for. There was some sort of blood serum
that was kind of top secret. Anyway, I spoke to
a man barely alive, was very lucky to be alive.
I don't know whether they could tell him he had
rabies or not. Don't know if that was the thing.
I think it's. Yeah, it's a sketchy cut of an illness.

(01:55:38):
I don't know how fatal rabies does anyone know? I
think you go, man, don't just stop pleasant. One hundred
percent fatal cheaper. That's amazing. He was just saved once
symptoms manifest. Rabies is in any one hundred percent fatal

(01:56:01):
cheapest forty nine thousand deaths per year. For he was
sent to children, So you don't want it. Pretty terrifying.
Dogs are the most common animals involved in America. It's bats.
You only diagnose that once symptoms appear. Name comes from

(01:56:24):
the Latin word rabies, meaning madness. Yep, not God. Anyway,
if you want to talk about rabies, I'll be keen
to talk about that. Well that's sort of slightly grim,
but yep, do come through you want to talk about that.
Australia is rabies free. India has the highest rate of

(01:56:45):
rabies in the world because of stray dogs, whose number
has greatly increased since two thousand and one. After all,
forbade the killing of dogs Wow, this is interesting. I
don't know what this means. I'm just reading this on
Wikipedia about rabies. It says effective control and treatment of

(01:57:07):
rabies in India is hindered by a form of mass
hysteria and as puppy pregnancy syndrome. Dog bite. Victims with PPS,
male as well as female, becompan comns that puppies are
growing inside them and often seek help from faith healers
rather than medical services. Twenty thousand people die every year
from rabies in India, more than a third of the

(01:57:28):
global data, and Puppy pregnancy syndrome is a psychosomitic illness
and humans brought on by mass hysteria. People suffering from
PPS believe that shortly after being bitten by dog, puppies
are conceived within their abdomen. The syndrome is thought to
be localized in villages and several states of India, as
some psychiatrists believe that PPS meant to criteria for a

(01:57:51):
culture bound disorder, which doctors offer oral cures which they
claim will dissolve the puppies doctor they have tried to
educate the public this conditions impossible superstition and that treating
this condition instead of rabies can be dangerous. Oh, that's bizarre.
You might want talk about the Test against Wales. Also,

(01:58:12):
this is on Sunday morning. I see John Kerwin on
his Facebook page shows that he's been to the pub
in Wales to have a drink and memory of Keith
that got sent home, and so we've talked about him

(01:58:33):
this week. So you might want to mention what the
name of that pub as you might have been there
Keith Murdoch got sent home. The pub is the Angel Hotel,
which still exists, and that's where John Cooman has gone
for a drink. He never came back to New Zealand

(01:58:56):
and he went just you know the story. It's famous,
jumped ship and they sent him back from the All
Black Tests, ed Dean and Alter. They sent him back.
They never should have. He was unsupported. He got off
the plane in Australia and went bosh and probably one
of the most famous All Black stories. Thirteen past eleven. Oh,

(01:59:19):
here we go. This is interesting. Thanks for this, Dan,
this is the information we need. Nineteen wickets at Perth
today are the most of fall on the opening day
of an Ashes series match on Ovanesh's series. Previous most
were eighteen wickets on the first day of the one
off Test in eighteen eighty eight at Sydney and also
on the first day of the three match series in

(01:59:40):
eighteen ninety six at Lord's and Brett says there was
a strawberry festival in Padapadoumu one or two weeks ago.
Also got bitten by mosquito yesterday. Thank you for all this.
All this is good, Marcus. If you want to see
the worst chimp attack, google friends pet chimp attacks your
best friend. Oh, I've seen that. There's no way go

(02:00:02):
looking for that. That whole story is terrifying. Oh oh no,
here we oh there, we're going to talk about Yes, Nickotts, Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 35 (02:00:10):
Good a Marcus. It's just Nick Air from I come
from North Canary. But i'ren't going to talk about Keith Murdoch. Yeah,
he actually pulled a mini car up Bouldron Street with
a rope on his own. That's in need. It's a
step street in the world.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
I think it's a great story.

Speaker 35 (02:00:34):
Yeah, no, it's a true story.

Speaker 34 (02:00:36):
Yeah, I believe it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:37):
He's from Moscow is there's a shot of him getting
his jacket fitted and I've never seen a guy with
such a massive barrel chest is a big.

Speaker 35 (02:00:45):
Unit and he had quite a good mustache too, didn't he.

Speaker 2 (02:00:50):
So this was I've never heard this story. How do
you remember this?

Speaker 25 (02:00:55):
Well?

Speaker 35 (02:00:56):
I I was growing up. I was in awe of him,
you know, and he was treated badly. And Tom Lister
was a South Caniby flanker that was a NEWBOS at
the time, and he told me I was doing business
with him in South Canterbury that when Mudoch did hit
that security guard, he said, the first only moved about

(02:01:19):
six inches. Yeah, like he is pretty powerful.

Speaker 2 (02:01:25):
Yeah, I just reading the stories of that their Murdoch's
career and had a controversy after he sent home from
his end until he scored the allbacks only try and
then win against Wales. It was a hero as well.
But later that night was involved in a frekr or
fracas in which he punched security guard Peter Grant at
the Angel Hotel.

Speaker 35 (02:01:44):
Yeah, but he was sent home in disgrace. But he
shouldn't have been.

Speaker 2 (02:01:51):
No, it needed to be handled and I think even
the manager I think was unwell at the time, the
guy from the West Coast, and I think he admitted
that he handled it badly. I think that was the story.

Speaker 35 (02:02:02):
Okay, but it was just that story, Marcus, that he
did full of mini car with a rope up Bulin Street,
which is a reputably the steepest street in the Southern Hemisphere.

Speaker 2 (02:02:17):
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it's the steepest street in
the world. It's been Yeah, it's been verified now. But
that's a hell of a thing to do.

Speaker 35 (02:02:27):
Yeah, I reckon. Yeah, I just thought i'd share that
was here, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
Yeah, thanks for sharing that. In regards to North Canary,
what a great place. Hello, Carl, it's Marcus. Good evening. Hello,
you're hi Cal.

Speaker 9 (02:02:42):
Oh high mate.

Speaker 17 (02:02:43):
How are you going good?

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
Carl?

Speaker 17 (02:02:46):
Good?

Speaker 30 (02:02:47):
And now I was just ringing to say about the
Star Triple five or the police one O five numbers
that you ring to report something going on in your
town or whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:03:03):
Sure, and I rang the and you know what happens.

Speaker 30 (02:03:09):
You just get six sixty music played to you or
something and you don't get through to anybody. It's not
an emergency. It's just about some rap backs driving around
town and the car is doing wheelies and shit, is it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
Because Carl, yep? Is it because they're busy?

Speaker 30 (02:03:36):
Well, I don't think they're that busy.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
Well, we don't know. You don't know what's going on
in startup or five world, do you?

Speaker 6 (02:03:43):
Well?

Speaker 30 (02:03:44):
No, but isn't that people sitting in an office answering
the phone.

Speaker 2 (02:03:48):
There won't be many of them, though, will there.

Speaker 30 (02:03:51):
Well, do you think if we had police doing their
proper jobs? Do you think they would answer the phone?
And then even if it was in Auckland, or even
if it was in China, they would say, oh, we've
got a problem in this town are and they would
sort it? But you can't even get through to tell
them there's a problem.

Speaker 17 (02:04:13):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:04:13):
What I'm saying is they probably have because you don't
want one hundred people waiting for phone calls when they
mightn't ever arrive. So, yeah, what's the what's the trip? Well,
hang on, hang I'm just going to talk for a bit.
What's the triple five number? What's the one oh five number?

Speaker 17 (02:04:30):
Ah?

Speaker 30 (02:04:30):
Well, they were, they're the non emergency numbers.

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
Triple five, just rib five just for traffic stuff, isn't it.

Speaker 30 (02:04:38):
Yeah, for traffic stuff. Yes, So you've got a boy
rastlers running around town doing wheelies and doing their backfiring
stuff and throwing fireworks. And stuff, and you want to
ring up about that and say, hey, there's these guys
that aren't doing the right thing. Can we get something
sort of about it? And you can't even get through

(02:05:01):
to ring them start trouble five people or the there's
another number that they say now was one o five.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
So they've rung both triple five and one five.

Speaker 30 (02:05:12):
Yes, and they both seem to go through with the
same and they put on the music and you and
I did it for half an hour and you can't
even actually get through.

Speaker 2 (02:05:23):
How long were you on hold for beg your pardon?
How long were you on hold for?

Speaker 30 (02:05:29):
Oh? Half an hour?

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
On both of them?

Speaker 30 (02:05:32):
Both of them?

Speaker 8 (02:05:33):
Yes?

Speaker 30 (02:05:34):
And I'm like thinking, well, what's the New Zealand police
doing to sort?

Speaker 6 (02:05:40):
You know?

Speaker 30 (02:05:40):
We want to sort our little problems out and every
little town's got a little problems and we can't even
get through to sort the problems.

Speaker 2 (02:05:50):
What six sixty song was it?

Speaker 30 (02:05:53):
Ah, don't forget your roots?

Speaker 2 (02:05:56):
I think it was ironic? Ironic?

Speaker 7 (02:05:59):
Yes, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:06:04):
Have the boy races stopped?

Speaker 12 (02:06:07):
No?

Speaker 30 (02:06:07):
They keep going. They boy races keep going and doing anything.

Speaker 2 (02:06:13):
And what town is it?

Speaker 30 (02:06:17):
Why buck around?

Speaker 2 (02:06:19):
Is that a big boy race of town?

Speaker 17 (02:06:22):
Not really.

Speaker 30 (02:06:25):
Not really, there's been one that's been quite uh you know, ongoing,
and it's been ongoing for the last sort of well,
I would say, a month, and I'm thinking, when are
the cops going to get this guy? And nothing's happened,
nothing's happened, nothing's happened.

Speaker 2 (02:06:44):
And I thought, have you got a local cop you
go and see, well I probably.

Speaker 5 (02:06:50):
Have to do that now, Have you got a rid Joe?

Speaker 6 (02:06:55):
No.

Speaker 30 (02:06:56):
I actually seen him drive up the main street today
and I've seen the car and I know what sort
of characters.

Speaker 4 (02:07:02):
But I was thinking, well, what.

Speaker 20 (02:07:03):
The hell where you know?

Speaker 30 (02:07:05):
This has been going on, going on, going, ongoing, and
nothing's been done. And I thought, finally I might ring somebody.
And my first time I ring start Trouble five and
that didn't happen, and one O five and that didn't happen.
And then I thought, Jeeves, I might just ring Marcus
and let the whole country know that we can't get

(02:07:29):
through to get something small sorted.

Speaker 2 (02:07:32):
Apart from that, are having a good night?

Speaker 30 (02:07:35):
Yeah, great night, Mark, Thank you very much here and
you too, what about you? How's your night?

Speaker 6 (02:07:43):
For all?

Speaker 33 (02:07:43):
God?

Speaker 2 (02:07:44):
Thanks Carl twenty six past eleven. If you're in ash Burton.
Tomorrow's a big day for you. The new free minigulf opens.
There's been able to talk about this. Mid Mini Canterbury
is what it's called. There's a story to it. Spurting me.
Elizabeth Willing can't wait to play around on the new

(02:08:06):
minigolf course at a Network center Mini Mid Canterbury, the
districtsu waiting Home minigolf courses open to the public on
November twenty two. The adding holes of themes inspired by
Mid Canterbury features clean the Town Clock, a combine harvest
of braided rivers, and Mount Hut. The minigolf course was

(02:08:28):
originally proposed by Brown as part of the long term
plan There we Go looks good but on them They
spent half a million on it, funded from the Revere
Reserves contribution. No impact on rates. Dave Marcus Good evening?

Speaker 30 (02:08:45):
Hell are you Marcus Good?

Speaker 10 (02:08:47):
Dave been hot here?

Speaker 9 (02:08:49):
It's good?

Speaker 2 (02:08:49):
He was hot today? What in christ Church?

Speaker 6 (02:08:54):
Yeah, it was said he was it.

Speaker 32 (02:08:56):
I thought it might have been, but I haven't seen
the official US.

Speaker 2 (02:08:59):
It was windy though, it was windy though, was it?

Speaker 32 (02:09:02):
No, No, not in northwester It was not in Northwester
It was hot and quite bummy. It seems to me
now through the West Indies and also the English to
it here, that cricket pictures have swung in favor of
the bowler, which I think is unfortunate, which I think
is a shame speech of twenty twenty in the one days.

Speaker 2 (02:09:25):
Yeah, I don't know enough about the subtleties, but it
seems to me they've made that Test wicket too easy
for the bowlers and Perth if they've got nineteen wickets in.

Speaker 32 (02:09:35):
A day, well I personally like to see them, especially
in the twenty twenty a few runs, you know, and
in favor, in fact, with the batsman rather than the bowler. Now,
the other thing is I've chipped a bit of tooth
off the beck mouler and it's given me grief.

Speaker 4 (02:09:53):
Mark kept them on my tongue.

Speaker 32 (02:09:55):
What did you do on on a blinking bamboo toothpick?

Speaker 30 (02:09:59):
Of all things?

Speaker 32 (02:10:00):
I come down and cracked a bowler.

Speaker 10 (02:10:03):
Who's give me a grief?

Speaker 2 (02:10:05):
It's sore mm hmmm, and it's.

Speaker 30 (02:10:07):
Catching on my tongue, you know what I mean.

Speaker 32 (02:10:11):
Well, I don't know what to do really, I'm trying
to sort of each your way, so it blunts it
because it's catching on my tongue and give me grief.

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
You need to file it down or something, don't you, Yeah,
something like that.

Speaker 17 (02:10:27):
Will you?

Speaker 2 (02:10:27):
Are you the sort of person that will see a dentist.

Speaker 30 (02:10:30):
No, not really, not on a Saturday or a Sunday Monday, but.

Speaker 2 (02:10:35):
You will go out. I'm not okay, No.

Speaker 34 (02:10:38):
I'm not.

Speaker 32 (02:10:38):
I'm not that sort of person.

Speaker 25 (02:10:39):
Really.

Speaker 32 (02:10:39):
I'd rather take care of it myself if I can.
It's not die yet, it's just uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (02:10:46):
And give me but the fact that the fact that
the teeth, the tooth m hmm broke with that would
mean the teeth might be damaged. But anyway, before you yeah,
there are some do it yourself dental kits online.

Speaker 32 (02:11:01):
Mm hmm. But late for that, marcause I need it
now or tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:11:05):
You know how much of the mole, how much of
the molar would have come off?

Speaker 17 (02:11:09):
It was a chunk, I've got it here.

Speaker 32 (02:11:13):
You your quarter maybe, but it's left a jagged edge,
maybe a quarter of the bit moller mm hmm, bet trumper.

Speaker 2 (02:11:23):
M And there are bonding kits you can buy mm hmmmmm.

Speaker 17 (02:11:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 32 (02:11:32):
I want something that I can sort of apply now
or to take care of it now, ideas or something
to Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:11:39):
I mean I'm hearing it doesn't sound pleasant, not it's uncomfortable.
I'll see if any retired dent is still current data
systing Dave, is the bottom molar?

Speaker 32 (02:11:54):
Yes, it does, the bottom one, you know, right at
the back, Yes, right at the back.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
Okay, you keep listening, Dave. Yeah, I'm sad to hear that.
I'm said to hear that for you because it's sound
like he doesn't he does it?

Speaker 17 (02:12:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:12:06):
Okay, well thanks Dave. Anyone got any advice for Dave?
It's going to be pricey too, isn't it, because you've
got to go with gold. Someone says use sandpaper on
tooth or nail file. It sounds a bit full on.
What could you chew that would that would kind of
smooth it down? Anyone got the advice for Yeah? I

(02:12:32):
think that's someone we need to help out. Actually, because
as soon as he heard his voice, he sounded like
he was something was going on for it, isn't it?
Did you get that vibe? I did?

Speaker 12 (02:12:43):
So?

Speaker 2 (02:12:43):
Advice for Dan for not for Dan our Dan, dice
for Dave. Please, he's got a tooth that has tongue.
When your tongue keeps finding it, you get a potato
with that, don't you're the worst? Hello, Pam, this is Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 34 (02:12:56):
Hi Marcus, I just said you'll call it. Dave with
his molder tooth is having problems with it.

Speaker 16 (02:13:05):
I do know.

Speaker 34 (02:13:05):
I don't know where he lived, though, but I know
the Two Entrants company up in Auckland. They're open on
Saturdays and Sundays. So if he lives in Auckland, he
should try. There's one up at the East Ridge, there's
one in the city, and there's one in north Shore.

Speaker 2 (02:13:25):
Appreciate that, Pam, thanks very much for that. We do
think an it's Marcus.

Speaker 27 (02:13:29):
Hello, Hi Marcus, poor Dave. I feel for him, and
I'm saying the same thing sandpaper as he's even because
he he must be must have a tool.

Speaker 7 (02:13:43):
Said.

Speaker 27 (02:13:44):
I know this is going to sound roeless, but if
he hasn't got sandpaper, a file, any kind of file,
because the thing is his toast clearly because it's broken
probably actually needs pulling out. But I've had a broken
tree flight that once before to and I got really
roasas with a file because it was late at night.

(02:14:05):
So that's what I would do if I was him.

Speaker 2 (02:14:09):
So did you get it? Did you get an extracted
after you filed it? Did you get extracted?

Speaker 34 (02:14:14):
Yeah? I did in the end.

Speaker 27 (02:14:16):
Yeah, but it was like the same thing as him
at night time, and I couldn't do anything. So I
just thought, right, okay, I'm going to get out my
files because I've got plenty of them in sad paper,
and I tried sam paper and in the end I
just got a file. But yes, I did eventually get
it pulled out, because once it starts cracking like he's

(02:14:37):
just described, that means that really the tooth does need
to be pulled, but it's going to be annoying for him?

Speaker 30 (02:14:42):
Isn't it?

Speaker 27 (02:14:43):
Until Monday?

Speaker 2 (02:14:44):
So how painful was it to file?

Speaker 22 (02:14:47):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:14:48):
It was horrible.

Speaker 21 (02:14:49):
It was horrible.

Speaker 27 (02:14:50):
I used, you know how the files like they've got
that really fine bit, yes at one end, and then
it's sort of like goes narrowed down to the back.
I actually used that that end and I went into
the bathroom and like, open my mouth, I said, why
has occurred? Because it was the bottom one, thank goodness,

(02:15:10):
And I just put the file in my mouth and thought, right, okay,
go for it. And see what happens. I thought, what
could I do break the tooth anymore? So anyway, I
managed to file it down and it was horrible feeling,
but yeah, I was lucky. I chocolate, so I ate
chocolate afterwards.

Speaker 8 (02:15:28):
Probably doesn't help your.

Speaker 27 (02:15:29):
Teeth, but yeah, yeah, he really does need to kind
of fire men eventually get.

Speaker 34 (02:15:35):
It pulled out.

Speaker 2 (02:15:37):
How long did you file it?

Speaker 8 (02:15:38):
For quite a while?

Speaker 27 (02:15:45):
No, not, wouldn't it been that long? Probably about no,
four minutes for quite a while to me, when you've
got something really weird that you're using, but you just
think it's like, you know, if you're filing your fingernails
using an memory board or a diamond cut file. But
he wouldn't have in you though, so you were need

(02:16:05):
to have sandpaper. He could try that first, but honestly,
I found the file was much better because shand paper
tastes horrors. I'd rather to have the metal farm.

Speaker 7 (02:16:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'll see.

Speaker 27 (02:16:22):
The things you Joe. You get adventure and you just
got to do it, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:16:27):
Nice to talk, Na, Thank you. Hello Calvin Marcus.

Speaker 28 (02:16:30):
Yeah, if he rings his local dentist, doesn't matter where
he lives, doesn't matter what time of the day or
night or weekend on the answer phone. It will give
them an alternative place to ring in an emergency or
the final emergency. Of course, there's a work at the hospital.
But he said, it's it's giving his tongue grief. But
it's him. It's him who's giving his tongue grief because

(02:16:52):
he's playing around with his tongue. And in theory, if
he's ready control over all he has to do in
his mind is stopped wagging his tail around.

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
Kelvy didn't sound to be like he writes control over
his tu His tag was fixating on finding that his
back tooth, wasn't it. I think he knows he's lost
the battle already.

Speaker 28 (02:17:11):
Yeah, well, I had a tooth I'm all at the
back pulled out about ten days ago because it had
come to grief. It was very very tender part of
it and so there was nothing that was filling it.
The old dentist pulled it out. They pulled out the
top part of it first, and then the two different
routes underneath will come out pretty easy and cleanly. Really,

(02:17:33):
and four hundred and fifty dollars less discounts its four
hundred and five dollars. So that's cheap enough.

Speaker 2 (02:17:40):
Is it a Senior Citizens discount?

Speaker 28 (02:17:44):
Yeah, that's right, Yeah, Winston Peter's Discount gold card.

Speaker 17 (02:17:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:17:47):
Half an hour.

Speaker 28 (02:17:50):
Yeah, that was a maximum of the time. You walk in,
they have a look and then to take an X
ray of it. Because in the old days, yes, to
take an X tray and send that away and gave
you the results a few days later. But now it's
all instant. They do the xtray and they're going they
were he actually one time yet I had to go
in a special room there.

Speaker 2 (02:18:09):
But now you just they're flipping X rays like this
not tomorrow.

Speaker 28 (02:18:13):
Yeah, well he just in the same chair line back,
looking up at the old TV operating there.

Speaker 2 (02:18:21):
Aprons they used to be. They must have changed their kid.

Speaker 28 (02:18:24):
Yeah, But as it was, I was very pleased with
the result because he you know, there was no no
pushing and shoving and all that carry on. He even
asked me, he said, do I want it done somewhere else?
I didn't quite cotton onto what he's talking about. I said, no, no,
I want you to pull that right now. I'm here,

(02:18:47):
do it now, sort of think, Yeah, what he was
referring to, Well, I don't know unless he's talking about
sort of a hospital type thing. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:18:56):
But next time, what it is you want done somewhere else,
You not gonna say, let's go into the park and
do it.

Speaker 25 (02:19:05):
Are you?

Speaker 28 (02:19:06):
So my recommend recommendation to your caller is to even
now or in the morning. Saturday morning, which is the
last Saturday, is the last day of the week, so
he'll be right. Bring them up. I know you'll get
an answer one way or another.

Speaker 2 (02:19:22):
Nice advice, Kelvin, Thank you, Hello John.

Speaker 20 (02:19:25):
Yeah, Hi, Marcus, you're the man with the tooth. He
could try chewing bread, childre into a wad, and childre
into that hole and that could seal it up, stop
his tongue getting on the rough bit. That might work
for him.

Speaker 2 (02:19:39):
Does it worked for you?

Speaker 20 (02:19:42):
It has in the past, but it's for like when
a tooth filling has pulled out when you've eaten your
macintosh lolly, things like that, and the bread goes in
the hole. And now the men that dialed one oh five.
I had occasion to ring one oh five today two
and I was on the phone for eight minutes before
I gave up.

Speaker 2 (02:20:01):
There there's nothing working in this country.

Speaker 20 (02:20:05):
I don't really know if the It just seemed a
little bit odd that you know, it took so long
to be on hold, and then you know you're not
wanting to do a one one one when it's not
a real emergency, but you certainly want some action and
it's not forthcoming. So it's a little bit disappointing. But anyway, Yeah,
that's about all I've got for you tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:20:26):
Thank you so much, Jennifer.

Speaker 18 (02:20:29):
You're there, yes, right now, get some chewing gum and sure,
and the followed up with chewing gum. Now I was
away over when I was he want so I've got
a broken truth, got some cheer and gum and pecked
it them with that and it was okay to.

Speaker 5 (02:20:46):
I got home.

Speaker 2 (02:20:49):
Well, okay, that works, does it well?

Speaker 6 (02:20:52):
Good for me?

Speaker 18 (02:20:54):
And if he wants a good night's sleep, and it
might might be a good idea of if you wanted something. Now,
if you can get chewing gum, it helps something in
that line.

Speaker 2 (02:21:05):
Just put it in the stops you finding it with
your tongue.

Speaker 18 (02:21:08):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, just cover up all.

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
The chatbooks, Jennifer. I appreciate that. I'm trying to think
what else you could do. It's good evening, Chris.

Speaker 23 (02:21:18):
Oh, good evening, macause that lady just said exactly what
I was ringing to say. Sugar free gum is the
only way I got through with sharp broken teeth. Plugged
it over with the gum. Just don't sip a hot
drink while it's on there, it'll go.

Speaker 12 (02:21:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:21:38):
But sugar free gum or I guess if you're desperate,
gum and any sort, there's what I've used on broken
sharp teeth.

Speaker 2 (02:21:49):
You almost think there might be some chemist product you
could buy that it's a similar thing. That's a gun
that will go in there, but the then sets.

Speaker 17 (02:21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:21:56):
I was just fortunate I had the sugar free stuff.

Speaker 8 (02:21:58):
And the Lolli jaf that I had here.

Speaker 2 (02:22:02):
Why sugar free important?

Speaker 23 (02:22:05):
Oh well, who will sugar? I suppose the fruits naked anyway. Yeah,
But if you're in a big town a hospital dentistry,
I think they might be the answer.

Speaker 25 (02:22:16):
Thank you, Chris, Hello, Mike, Yeah, Hi, Marcus with Dave
there one or several years back on christa on Christmas Eve,
I had a broken tooth. I rang up the dentist
about four o'clock in the afternoon. They said, we're full.
We can't accept you. We just just absolutely chocolate blok
and we're just leaving now. So and I thought, well,
I'm not putting up with us. So I shot down

(02:22:38):
to quite a ten got a brand new chainsaw file,
very small one. I just found that the tooth that
was in the back molder and I filed away with
a chainsaw file. They're very small, they can get in there.
And when I went back to see him in the
new year, made an appointment.

Speaker 6 (02:22:57):
He said, who did the tooth?

Speaker 25 (02:22:59):
I said me, I said, I thank you, said weod.
He made quite a good job of it, actually, and
they have a very fine cat the chainsaw file, and
they worked very well.

Speaker 2 (02:23:09):
What was the pain like?

Speaker 25 (02:23:11):
No pain there wasn't that. It was no nerve at all.
Didn't strike there. If Dave's got a pain, I think
he said a broken tooth. He said it's giving him strifling,
mainly because his tongue's fighting.

Speaker 17 (02:23:26):
He did say that, yep, And.

Speaker 25 (02:23:28):
That's what you should do. Just find out the rough
edge there and just use a matter of fact, I
didn't even buy a new chainsaw file. I'll use one
of them a toolkit there. But if he wants to
it with metal filings. He's just going buy a new chainsaw,
file a small one.

Speaker 2 (02:23:44):
Did it take a long time?

Speaker 25 (02:23:46):
No, it didn't. It filed filed very quickly. And he said,
and the said he actually made quite a good job
of that.

Speaker 2 (02:23:55):
So yeah, and then did he did he manage to repeat?
Did he managed to rebuild the mole?

Speaker 12 (02:24:00):
Or he.

Speaker 25 (02:24:02):
Shoutened off the edges there and that's fine. So no,
it's it's your tangue, automately find it. That's what's less
rating the tank.

Speaker 2 (02:24:11):
Yeah, yep, okay, nice to hear Michael like that, like
lesser rating too. That's good Ivan, I'm good things, Ivan
and the.

Speaker 4 (02:24:22):

Speaker 4 (02:25:02):
Clothes?

Speaker 2 (02:25:03):
Yeah, okay, clove yep, okay, I'm hearing because clothes over
as a is a numbs numbs, pain in your mouth.
What's the word for that. It's a number, isn't it.
It's a pain number.

Speaker 4 (02:25:16):
It's a cloth. Yeah, it's like a who. Yeah, but
he could also use garlic, like garlic would be an
andy set.

Speaker 2 (02:25:24):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (02:25:26):
So I just I just put the cloth of a
clove in the.

Speaker 17 (02:25:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
I was going to say close to it. I think
that because cloth is clothes contain eugenol, which is a
natural energiesic pain reliever. Yes, right, Okay, this is good
advice and I feel Look, I love Dave and I
need him to be better. So yeah, let's hope this

(02:25:56):
works for him because he can't get the thing about Dave.
He can get contankerous, but the last thing he needs
is a is a sore tooth. A lot of texts
coming through. Actually, hope you're still with us, Dave. Dental
