Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Evening.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Greetings, good even and welcome. My name is Marcus, with
your right through till midnight tonight. I hope it's good
where you are, and it's not good. I hope it's
better by the time I go home, which would be
about midnight tonight. I'm just reading about that cruise ship.
You've been following that story. Wow, this is the cruise
ship where they had rats on board. It's an amazing
looking cruise. It's sort of going to isolated islands. I mean,

(00:36):
it's not amazing because three people have died and it looks
like more will die. Wow, don't need to talk back
and that I'm not sure how the rats have infected everyone.
Seems pretty serious. That rat virus when you die and
not allowed off the ship flip looks like a movie.
Don't work when we havever a good movie Unich like
ratted tuy and the rat talking anyway, get in touched

(00:56):
by name is Marcus hit till twelve. By the way,
he's anyone ridden flowing on spirit Ear. It's not an
airline I know about, but they say people hate it,
but they'll hate that it's no longer around. They hated it,
but they loved it because it flew places you didn't
normally fly. But they charged for everything. You want to bag,

(01:18):
that's extra. You want a written ticket, that's extra. Everything
you did they charged for. So it was the ultimate
and budget airline. The ticket was cheap, but the add ons, goodness,
gracious me, it was all about the add ons. The
add ons were everything, and the add ons went on
and on and on and on and on. So yes,
that's the way it worked. But people loved it. Ah,

(01:40):
it seemed so good if you want a last minute ticket.
When one person complained, the CEO said in a reply
all email, let them tell the world how bad we are.
Ten dollars if you asked an airport aged to question
ten dollars. You asked for printed boarding pass four fifty
for water, carry on bag thirty three dollars. Ah, goodness,

(02:01):
book online twenty eight bucks. Seems idea anyway that's gone airline,
gone burger anyway, actually flying on there, that would be very
huge amount of interest to me. Just I like to
know how bad it was. Well, the thing was, I
think about an airline if you get there, it's done
its job forget you, for me to be That's the point,
isn't it. Everything else, well, you can suffer from the
sky for an hour and you probably make more interesting

(02:25):
people anyway, if you've been on spirited air. That's kind
of one of the questions. I'll keep you across the
State Highway six crash. That's Statehway six, a Ryan Road.
That's the corner there. Not far out of very card
at all. Actually that's about four k's five k's out
of there. Three car crash around about dusk today, So

(02:45):
I keep you updated by that. How good was that moon? Too?
But anyone been on spray there, let me know what
the situation is. Oh, eight hundred and eight. By the
way too, I was in the shops today before work
and guess what was on display? Crumpets. So I think
it might be because once in a while you want
those still days. It feels kind of autumn watory combined,

(03:05):
and the crumpets peer like jeepest creepers. It's crumpet Day.
So if you got any suggestions, what is the best
everthing on crumpets? I think it can be a good
way to start the winter. Warmer tonight, I'm looking for Mike.
I haven't got much to say about crumpets, but I
like the concept. They look like they're great fun twice
a year and that's about it, and they are. They

(03:26):
always are. It's one of the few products that just
appears get but like Girl Guide biscuits and Bluff Boys,
to oh one of it. Of that as soon as
you see them and think, gee, that's a good idea,
I'm going to buy a pack of those for me.
What I like to do with crumpets I like to
cook them and the toaster, but it doesn't cook each
side evenly, and I like the top side. What do

(03:47):
you call the top side of a crumpet? Now, I
don't know the answer to that. I would imagine it
so called the holy side. But when I cook them,
what I do is I put them down on the
toaster and I and they come out and the top
side is not cooked as much. And then what I

(04:07):
do is I put the toaster down. Yeah, and then
I put the side with the holes on. I put
the holy side hole down over the top grooves of
the toaster and spin that round. Yeah. There is a

(04:27):
bit of controversy about which side you should button them on.
Some people butt them on the flat side, and some
people flutter the button them on the holy side. If
you butted them on the flat side, the other word
for those sorts of people would be psychopath. And who
would do that? What sort of psychopath would butter the

(04:49):
crumber on the flat side. I've actually a feeted and
I've just seen an article about who would do that.
So crump it techniques, cooking crumpit techniques, and the best
combination of food I'm steering towards because we've got a mandolin.
I've bought a mandolin. I don't know why I put
it so. I bought a mandolin because I was doing
the origine. I was doing authentic style onion burgers, like

(05:12):
that guy in New York with the mandolin when you've
got to get the Onion's revery fine the Oklahoma burger.
But I would be inclined to do whole fijos on
the mandolin and blue cheese or am mine or something
on a crumpet on the holy side, holy guacamole. So
that's the discussion tonight. If you want to come through
text or call, we'll start and get bright, tight and

(05:32):
rend on this, then we'll flick it over to something else.
But this will go for an hour, forty minutes twenty
Who keys? Who would butter a crumpet on the flat side.
That's like getting a crust of toast and cooking a
crust and then buttering the smooth side as opposed to
the British side. Fudge. Oh, I swore, then I'm that

(05:53):
angry Matthew. It's Marcus. Good evening, Marcus, great topic, one
of the best.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I can't believe you are any crumpets twice a year, and.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
That would be the stretch. It might be what it's
not a crumpet family because they haven't really been taught
the way of the crumpet.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
The crumpet is such a good, good thing to have.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
There's too many choices for them now, I reckon they're yeah, anyway,
I'm just thinking about that. You keep going, I went interrupt.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Do you go with the square one or the round one?
The square one? You get more surface?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Serious, it's not a crumpet.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Also, I double I double drop them, like drop them
and then that pops and then drop them again.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yes, but I don't I think they need to be
cooked unevenly because the holy side needs more, I think,
and it does.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I quite like just the butter and good honey and
then all drip onto the drips under the plate. You
have a buy it and then you scoop and like
all the topic just goes through the crumpet onto the plate.
I like that.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Are you buying that bougie honey? That's all in the
comb as well, like from a from APIs.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Just just good clover honey or yeah, just a good
it's got to be a good honey. It's got to
be good honey. Also, relish and cheese melted on top
is good because the relish goes through and then you
melt the cheese on top and then that goes through
to that's quite good too.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
So we're talking double handing. We're talking into the toaster
then into the grilla.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, and then yeah, yeah, yeah it's and then you
get like a bit like a French toast sort of
like yeah, it's very good, very good.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
It'd only be a matter of time before some borings
up and cooking them in the air. Frar A. Imagine
how long that's going to take? Ten minutes, Oh, that's
going to take long.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
But the crumpet is that good. It's underrated, very underrated.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
It's about the time of the year for it is.
It's just that coming into winter there's sort of the
further leaves are off the trees. Oh, it's a bit
boring to watch. We do crumpets.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Crumpets. You could even have them with the soup. I reckon.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
To absorb. I reckon they might take up too much
of the soup, too much my compromise integrity of the
of the of the crumb.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
A good pumpkin soup would go well, I reckon.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
I think what you when you said, I think when
you have said those two words three words good pumpkin soup,
I think it's an oxymoron. I think there's only ever
an Okay, pumpkin soup.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, I disagree, Okay, I disagree, I disagree. But yeah, no,
good topic.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
One of the great plenty of text. Get your call
through about this, Marcus. I managed to slice the skin
off my finger with a mandolin with a slicing potato
for potato bleed profusely. Yeah, my mandolin has got a sheath. Well,
it's got like a plastic I don't know what you'd
call it it's got a plastic protector. Yeah, we haven't

(09:00):
took it on holiday. The mandolin definitely, the Holy Side
absorbs all the button double toast. I love crumbs with
a slick slice of jetty cheese, then scoop up the
melted butter with the crust. So this is a text
that ends mind blowing crumpets, peanut butter, sardines, girkins, cheese
and salt and pepper. Someone's frying them in butter, then

(09:20):
put peanut butter or mar might just soak up into
the crumpet. Wow. I guess it's not gonna be long
before someone's gonna say they're cooking them in lard like
the Yorkshire PUDs. Yes, agree, Only a psychopath would butter
the pot of it. I mean, who would butter the
bottle of a crumpet? You just have to be such
a wind up artist. Be a good horror movie, wouldn't
it you? Actually, you know, there's some young couple and
they're falling for each other met on the Internet or

(09:41):
a marj Young Evening or something, and all goes along fine,
and they end up getting on really well and they
move into it and they commit to each other they
move in with each other, and then one day he
wakes up or she wakes up. I'm not quite who
the protagonist is. It's the father or that if it's
the man or the woman, But maybe one day one
of them goes to the kitchen and the other one
is buttering the crumpet on the smooth side, and you'd

(10:05):
play that sort of a music that sound like a seagull,
but more that psycho music, and it'd be like a
tale of the unexpected. Rold Dale. Marcus crumpets from the
Souper market all year around in north and not just
autumn winter. Yes, but they're only even in that display
case and about now, aren't they. You're coming. There's always
that week of the year you're coming, and there they are,

(10:28):
just the near the Vigy's. You think, oh, it's crumpet time.
And sometimes they'll get out the inflatable crumpet man in
every time we do a crumpet show, someone threads to
send me the inflatable crumpet man. Wow is he if
it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
I just want to make a comment on the crumpet.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yes, bacon and a poached jig with a little bit
of avocado and mayo.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Wow you as you put a lit on that?

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Oh hey, if you want to me, I.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Wonder it might be too bratty with a lida.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Oh possibly, but hey you all that good? But really
good for your.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
It's a real buttersucker a. I mean you'd put probably
you'd put five you'd probably put five dollars of butter
into those grooves in they or reservoir.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Get a good corn orange piece.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I'm surprised they're not more available out and about.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yeah, you just see a lot of the English puffin
things around, but I reckon a crumpet would go well.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I'm not a big fan of that. They're nice, the
English muffins, but they're not crumpet nice.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Nah No, they're not as good because they don't nah.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
No, no, no, it's got to be crumping liking you
like your name too, ZENNI twenty one past eight mark
is something to try. A bread and butter pudding, but
use crumpets instead of bread. Have you tried cooking trumpets
and the toasted sandwich maker so the toppings melt evenly
into the crumpet holes. I'm gonna try that tomorrow. We've

(12:13):
got to toasted sandwich maker. But what woiuld I see
someone cooking in the waffle lions the other day online?
All that looked good. I can't remember what it was.
Now so many food posts these days. I've been banned
from the phone, so I can't really look at stuff.
Got two ducks on Sunday. My wife crumbled the breast
in Alabama. Spice cooked them in the air fry. They
were to die for. Well, funny that no means of

(12:35):
a crumpet. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten. You'll keep you
update with news from the homus anything else? Gosh, there's
no shortage of journalists writing about their journey. Were Gov
is there? I don't what to say about that, but
be in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty ten, eighty and

(12:56):
nine to nine. What do you reckon? Brink cruders? I
reckon one hundred and six. Have a guess, guys, the
brink crude lotto. I'm saying one hundred and six, Have
I guess? Everyone? G one hundred and ten, eight twenty two,
twenty six Past that, Kelvin, it's Marcus, Kelvendra.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
Good evening, very good evening to you two. Marcus. Now
I'm eighty four, getting on for eighty five. And I've
never ever made crumpets, and I don't know anybody whoever
has made crumpets. I'm looking forward to somebody ringing you
up tonight and letting us know about there making crumpets.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, I have, and it was a while ago, and
then I've reaped. You know what you need to make crumpets?

Speaker 7 (13:35):
We probably need it. Well, you can to start off
with a fry pan.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
You need something. I'm going to say two words to
your Calvendra. You need a crumpet ring. You need a
crumpet ring?

Speaker 7 (13:45):
Well possibly, no, you well what it depends if you
sort of keen on the on the shape of it.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Hang on, you're the guy that's never made them, telling
me who's made them twice how to make them.

Speaker 7 (13:58):
No, I'm not. I'm just saying that depends. I'm not
telling you how to make them. I'm just telling you
that if you can on the exact shape, or maybe
you'd use crumpet rings. When when you make pancakes and
the hot cakes and what's the other.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Thing, pancakes, hot cakes, griddle cakes, oatcakes.

Speaker 7 (14:21):
No, no, no, not griddle or you buy them in
the packets now in the supermarket.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Muffin yeah, whatever, anyway, muffins, muffins.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
No, No, it's like a pancake. It's another word for
pancake and hot cakes and those sort of things. Flap
the reb quartering.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
The reason I'm persistent, the reason I'm persisting about the
crumpet rings, Calvin, is because you can get those for
eleven dollars on Tim and they're a good sized one.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Yes, well there you are.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
You see your.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Cut down old, your cut down old.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
But you're quite wrong because you said that I could.
I could get them, but I couldn't on Tim.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Do you want some?

Speaker 7 (15:02):
No? No, no, I'd be happy to get down to all.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
What do you some? And i'll but would you make?
Would you make crumpet rings? If I got you the rings?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Would you make I wouldn't be bothered, though, I just
buy it, buy the crumpets pre made and then taste them.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Well, that's the thing that they're not a bank breaker,
are they? They're not something they always seem. How much
would a peck of crumpets be? Would there be four dollars?

Speaker 8 (15:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (15:26):
I prefer if they're available, and I always have a look.
But sometimes they're already been sold. The square ones.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, I don't know about that. To me, that's not
a real crumpet.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
Well those are real crumpet.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Well if it's a real crumpet, then how come you
can't get crumpet, can't buy crumpet squeeze.

Speaker 7 (15:42):
You can't even buy I think they call it a
crumpet loaf. You can, like a loaf of bread, But
that's nothing like a real crumpet. But the square crumpets
are proper crumpets.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
The point, the point and the point, the point I'm
making is that they're not something you can make at
home because you can't buy you know how you can
buy crumpet rings.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Now, I don't know you can buy them except that
you've told me.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, but I've never seen for sale anyone selling trumpet squeeze.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
So if you make up, you make up the better
and then spoon it into.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
A hot, hot plate and then cut it.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Now, they don't cut it.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
You just.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
When the bubbles start coming up, then you flip it over.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
People will have made will find out what was what
your go to topping?

Speaker 7 (16:29):
I go to topping first. First of all, it would
be dairy spread, which we used to call margarine, and
on top of that, maybe honey honey or maple syrup.
Honey is nice. If you want a bit spicy, just veg.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
You might brilliant. I think butt works, Calvin, Thank you
very much for that. Now, what do you want to
talk about? When you said the other word was for hotcakes?
And hmm, yeah, did they kiddy? He said, Does Calvin
mean piplets? Maybe here's a here's a Philly down down
buzz text. Trumpets are considered junk food by government standards.

(17:08):
No protein, high salt, probably hard for stomach to digest,
but a winter warmer. I suppose it depends what you
have on them. Yeah, Marcus, I imagined you playing a
tune on your new mandolin while any of your crumpets.
To tell you the truth, I couldn't imagine it. Then
the penny dropped. Someone wants to know if you could
board a plane with a mandolin. Well, I wouldn't call

(17:29):
it a weapon. It's only a self weapon. Really, it's
only I mean, you couldn't really get the be hard
to get the pilot to use it without the guard,
And how would you explain that to him? My mate
started a crumpet company during the Boordo of Lockdown. He's
in Tasmanians amazing sourd and crumpets. Gosh, I'm going to
google him straight away, Shawn, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (17:49):
Hey, Sean, I.

Speaker 10 (17:52):
Thought it was potecas with the word you were looking for.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah, I think it might have been.

Speaker 11 (17:56):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 9 (18:02):
Little strawberry jam, bit of butter.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Why strawberry jams so good?

Speaker 12 (18:07):
I think it's the strawberries, mate, em Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
It's the fruit of the gods strawberries.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (18:16):
Yeah, here's a good joke coming up about or is it?

Speaker 13 (18:20):
Guys?

Speaker 12 (18:21):
I doesn't mean I won't think about that.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Come back when you've worked on it. This guy's crumpets
and Tasmania Original Sourdough, Chocolate Sourdough, Coconut sourdough and Cefron
sourdo the King of Crumpet fancy Cefron Sourdough. It's a
good website. That one me crumpet cut. I presume that's
the one handmade small batch born in one hundred and

(18:45):
forty year old cottage in the One Valley during the
slow days of Lockdown. Fluffy and light in the middle
with a crunch. Wow, how much are they can we
buy them. It's a good website. I don't think they
send them cam Nelly skills. We are talking crumpets. What
else to talk about in this gorgeous star? How's the comet?

(19:05):
People you've seen commet? Marcus split off topic? But who
do you mentioned? French toast? Apparently not many others endure
it with tomato sauces of topping. That seems to be
a food crime. We don't know if Calvin was talking
about crapes or pikelets. We have squares for poaching eggs.
Square eggs are perfect on square toast. I'm sure I

(19:27):
could make crumpets with them too. My lovely wife Kirsten
made crumpets during the old lockdown situation. They are flipping fantastic.
I can't remember all the ins and outs of the
process aside from them menvery time consuming. But hey, what
else are you gonna do? Costume missus lockdown? He says,
vaguely conspiratorial. We do crumpets and the toaster then spread

(19:47):
with cream, cheese and ham. Of course you do. Bobbitt's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 14 (19:53):
I heard that guy talking about crumpets. He buys them
in the packet from the supermarket. L's five minutes and
they go moldy.

Speaker 11 (19:59):
Tell me more.

Speaker 14 (20:01):
The crumpets you buy from the supermarket and the packets
we have them the home for two days. It's that
going moldy.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
But people have them for that long, would they?

Speaker 14 (20:08):
Well, I don't know. I'd buy mine, and you know
I have two maybe in the morning, and then two
the next morning with a cup of tea. And I
noticed saying because they seem to be sticky and hold moisture,
they go moldy real quick.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
I guess people be ringing, texting and saying freeze them,
will they?

Speaker 14 (20:25):
Well, I suppose good, But I mean if you if
you buy a packet of them, you don't expect them
to be moldy three days later. If your bread wouldn't
mold you'd be ringing tip top and roll me bread.
I gave up buying them for that reason. Well, okay,
you can't anyone anyone else that's had the same problem.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Have you ever baked them?

Speaker 15 (20:43):
No?

Speaker 14 (20:44):
No, no, no no. I used to make a hell
of a lot of pancakes for pancake tea rooms, but
not not not crumpets.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, I don't think I've have had mine go moldy.
But when we used to have them from a pretty
large family, they'd go quite quickly or just be a
one session, you know.

Speaker 14 (21:03):
Well, that's why I stopped buying them, because they were
going moldy on me.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
And I think in the past, Calvin, I think in
the past, Bob, that I have frozen them right. Well, no,
it's quite dangerous to then separate them because you feel
you're trying to separate them with a knife and they
go really really solid.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
All right, and you like me, yeah, yeah, we need.

Speaker 14 (21:26):
To see because today I had some sausages that I
was breaking down to put and do it tight containers,
and of course I was using a knife to separate them.
I just about cut me jolly finger.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
The way you said, breaking down like a hunter.

Speaker 14 (21:38):
Yeah. Well, other people might find them, but I find
they don't last very long at all, so I gave
up buying them.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
We'll talk more about crump and handling. That's important. But
a crumpet Monday draitional topping has got to be golden syrup.
No other crumpets actually feature on the cover wrapping of
golden syrup, so that is good evidence. You're not wrong.
I see that golden syrup is now in a squeeze container.
I've always found golden syrup difficult to handle. I've asked

(22:04):
chech gpt what's the best crumpet topic topping number one,
the purest gold salted butter. It's got such a smug manner.
They call that the pro move the British standard marmite
and sharp cheddar. Do your marmy punch of the marmite,
cut through the doli base, gool my upgrade, goat cheese

(22:25):
and hot honey? What's hot honey?

Speaker 9 (22:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:28):
I think they're asked for us a better suggestions, Dan,
could you thought to be I thought we'd be blue
cheese and figs or something. Anyway, get in touch if
you want to maname is Marcus welcome? Ddyded started ddding again.
Oh wa eight hundred and eight text the dream scenarios

(22:49):
when it comes to oh crumpets, how are you cooking
them too? By the way, how you heat it toasting them?
And who's making them themselves? Tell the gentlemen to keep
the crumpets in a fridge, possibly flapjacks like gentlemen to stretch.
I think the word you're looking for us wat it
was he was looking for the word. I know this

(23:09):
might upset you, but my granddaughter loves to microwave with
crumpets so soft and floppy like hot sponge. You what
are the crumpets like this? See the weird way to Marcus.
Separate everything before freezing. Crumpets separate, and even peter bread
separates before freezing. Take them out of the sweaty plastic
bag and try a brown paper bag. Perhaps your mushrooms

(23:33):
in twenty to nine, nineteen to nine. Hello Julia, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 16 (23:39):
Hello, Marcus, good evening. You've just reminded me. We used
to make square eggs on the barbecue, and we used
to poke the white bit out of a slice of bread,
so you just had the crust around the outside, and
then you'd break the egg into that square and it would.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Be like fried bread, you know.

Speaker 16 (23:54):
Fried bread in the wheel was such a treat, and
you could flip your square eggs over and you'd end
up with a square egg insider inside a fried bread crust. Delicious.

Speaker 17 (24:04):
Do you.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Poke the bread out or do you do you knife
it out?

Speaker 16 (24:09):
I can't remember. Probably a knife, but not nice straight lines,
you know, but reggedy, Yeah, I quite like the.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Idea of using the bread as the container makes a
nice frame. And what did you do with the inside
but from.

Speaker 16 (24:26):
The bread by we fried that up separately, so you'd
have little little white bits of extra fried bread on
the side.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
I'm glad I asked that question because that makes sense too. Okay, Yeah, and.

Speaker 16 (24:43):
I haven't thought of them for years until that earlier
cooler mentioned making square eggs. We used to call those
square eggs.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
I don't know you could buy an egg square. I mean,
I know that you didn't use one you used I
knew that you used bread. I guess with tim or
you can buy everything now. It's a good boon for Baker's. Yeah, yeah,
I'm just looking online. Okay, thank you for very much
for that, Julia. Could anyone tell me to make egg

(25:12):
a square egg poacher is what I'm looking for? Is
it a square egg poacher? Sho's got the cupboards for
all these things? You know, you've got their cupboard that
never shuts. Now the mandolin for a while here on
talk about people are talking a lot about those electric
egg boilers. What a stupid thing. They sounded like a
non stick egg molt. They've got a little they look adorable.

(25:34):
They've got a little handle and I've clicked on it.
Now I've got to do security. Click on furniture. I'm
having a lot of these coming up. Click on all
the traf you know, here's something Dad, you've probably got
nate the items sold out. Here's a question that's bugged me, right,
I don't know why, but when I go into Google
Now on my phone, it says I've got to go through.

(25:55):
It says a your robe. I say no, right, And
then it says two things. It says, click on every
square containing a traffic light, what is the traffic light?
Is that the pole as well? What do you think, Dan?
I always include the poles. And then it says click
on any motorbike. So when you're clicking on the motorbike,

(26:15):
you click on the person who's on the motorbike. Because
to me, that's all in one and I've gone through
thirty and forty things and still not got it right.
So if the pole's not the traffic light, what is it? No,
it's not the pole hotting get the traffic light because
the whole thing's a traffic light. No, the street light
is the pole and the light. Anyway, you're right, I'm wrong,
but it doesn't feel right to me. Drill the bottom,

(26:38):
beat the eargain, heaps the grated cheese parssy on top
and grill. I don't like the idea of golden syrup
on a crumpet to me, it's too sweet. Gorn made crumpets,
gorgan zola and ferg apricots and pheasant. I deep fry
my crumpets. You should try to. You take a cup
on mug and verdict, use that to kind of ring
out of the bread and then put the raw egg
in there. I think we did that in form two cooking,

(26:59):
which seemed pretty basic. We borrow our neighbor's crumpet rings.
I remember, now we made crumpets.

Speaker 12 (27:09):
You know, mark way from you?

Speaker 18 (27:12):
Yeah good, I'm married to a someone. Okay, if we
make a banana pancakes, there's a couple of them, you
can have them.

Speaker 7 (27:25):
All you do is.

Speaker 18 (27:27):
You mix up your flour and water what have You
might be a rotten When I say a rotten banana, banana,
it's gone brown and you mix it in there. You've
got a fry pan, you've got the fatten it. You
just drop it on the bottom. Have them like like
a flatjack. There's another one that you can have a

(27:49):
like your deep fror that all the oil, you can
make it like a ball, and that can be made
with the same with banana. They're bloody beautiful. Chose the
language I reckon.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Banana is a beautiful one cooking, especially one that's about
to turn.

Speaker 15 (28:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (28:09):
Well, and then the other one is we have a
thing where we have pala sammy. Okay, Pela zammy is
the like a taro leaf or banana leaf. And that's
the they scraped the inside of a coconut and they
it comes up white. You can you can make the

(28:31):
round ones who goes in the deep prior the same
way and they come up beautiful.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Nice to hear from you, Brian, thank you so much.
Thirteen to nine. Well, by the way, I had a
slight fail with the old Fijoa brand muffins. I thought
we always Brian's out of bananas because banana brand brand.
Because we talked about muffins how much I hated them,
and we remind ourselves about Fijo about brand muffins, and
they are very good. And the brand muffins didn't rise,

(28:59):
but gee, they were good. So if you got a
good fijo a brand muffin recipe. Yes, I am the
anti muffin, but I I love a brand muffin. It's
got a quite a wholesome taste to it. I think. Anyway,
I just need to say that when I had the
talking stick, well that it'd be pretty honest. I've always
got the talking stick. Now, be in touch. If you
want to be on air, I'm Marcus. I'm here till twelve,

(29:22):
Marcus full stop gap, I'm here till twelve. You want
to be a part of it, that's the plan. Stan,
it's Trump at night, Crump at night, not Trump at Night.
That's a different show, Trump at Night. So it's a
good show already, doesn't it. We're I'll get to the texts.

Speaker 9 (29:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
I love cooking with fijos because they hold their fruitness
the pops robust enough to go through the cooking process
quite well. That's my take and I'm sticking with it now.
If you want to be on air, that's what we're
about tonight. We've got something else you want to talk about,
mentioned say good, but here till twelve if you want

(30:01):
to talk, Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine to de text with ittle midnight tonight
are we beat to jet gy chet gpt about the
crumpets and ask them to get a bit more out
of the square with their toppings, and they have suggested
the Gothic gourmet bone marrow and BlackBerry. Just sounds delicious.
The billed roaster a spit beef marrow bone until the

(30:23):
center is bubbling in molten Scoop the hot marrow directly
onto a heavily toasted trumpet. Let it melt into holes
like meat butter top with a BlackBerry and balsamic reduction.
Add a few shards of pickled hillots. Maybe we don't
need the master chiefs anymore. We hasn't been a good
day for them. But jeepers, Oh, I'm liking that a

(30:44):
looks like it might be quite good. Marcus, the old
fellow with a necko oven. We'll have some new recipes
to try it in the backseat after tonight. Marcus. I
never knew of the bread frame eggs until I saw
Sheer making them in the movie Moonstruck. That's how I
do eggs all the time now, Matt, Well, if you're
using the toasted sandwich maker, you want to cook eggs
in that and they can go off the reservation. But

(31:05):
so you do use an egg a bread frame, Marcus,
jeff lions make the crumpet better into them straight at
the oven. Oh yeah, well that was a bit complicated
that one. Yah, Mum would let them put an eg
close to the r Yeah, we didn't call them. Well,
where were they were? They weren't called jeff lions here?
They were they Well, I'm not saying that, but I
don't think they were called that jeff Lions. Hot honey

(31:26):
is the best thing ever invented. Most restaurants have that
on chicken and pizza. I'm not familiar with hot honey.
Is hot honey honey that's hot because it's heated or
hot because it's spice there. If you know about that,
I'd like to hear more. Yep, that's the situation people.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine to

(31:47):
de text, Marcus, still twelve beautiful, be in touch. If
you want to be a set the show alight tonight.
Nothing's going to stop us now it is Star Wars Day.
I'm sure that's been the stock in trade for most
announcers today, which is fine, But I haven't watched I
watched trolls too, and I wish I'd watched their rich
at all. And when I say the original, I'm talking

(32:08):
about the very first one. So yeah, that's a situation. Anyway,
get in touch, beautiful. Anyway, back at your people, if
you want to be in touch, oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nine ten ninety to text, if
you got anything else to say, be a part of it.
Welcome people is nine oh seven seven past nine. I
hope it's good. Could someone I didn't get the response

(32:31):
I wandered from those I am not a robot checks
when you're on the cell phone to get into Google
when they ask you identify motorbikes and traffic lights, like
what is a traffic light? But maybe I've got different
views from other people and maybe I've got the wrong view.
Well that's progress. They start acknowledging it, discussing crumpets as well.

(32:54):
That time of the year people will be craving crumpets.
These probably human nature if we go into wanted to
crave more carbs as we get ready for I don't
know what the human word for, similar to nation is.

Speaker 19 (33:09):
Hot?

Speaker 4 (33:09):
What's hot? Honey? What you want? Is that clotted cream?
What's that company called? Is it called it's Butterboro? Dan,
that's to you. It's in the quiz. Yep. Marcus calling
all truckies for feedback. Do you think electric freight truck

(33:31):
could drive driverless from Auckland to Wellington without a mishap?
Like one didn't Texas recently? I have one question? What
will a driverless truck do when it comes across a
slip or washed out bridge? It'll stop? Marcus. Jeff lions
are called jeff Lions and us in or quickies? Don't
they called quickies because a quickie sounds wrong. I think

(33:54):
they were called quick si but that sounds lame. So
hot honey is honey with spice in it. I've never
come across that. Wow, Marcus, came from walking to the cargo,
just got back. What a beautiful day was? I won't
been on a club on a class trip today to Riverton.

(34:15):
Beautiful day there, Marcus. You need to get out out
more often. Hot honey has been around for ages. Well,
maybe I'm not in the Maybe I'm not in the
hot honeybelt. Hello Dave.

Speaker 7 (34:29):
Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Thank you?

Speaker 20 (34:32):
Well, I'm not a robot, and I do click on
the squares where the pieces of motorcycle are. But is
it just the motorcycle wheel or the whole motorcycle?

Speaker 4 (34:41):
And is it the person that's riding.

Speaker 13 (34:45):
That's right?

Speaker 20 (34:46):
And and ken a robot not spot that? What is
what as we trying to prove?

Speaker 21 (34:52):
There?

Speaker 19 (34:52):
You know?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
It says traffic lights? Are you doing the poll?

Speaker 20 (34:56):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (34:57):
I questioned that as well.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
And then how many times and how many times it
take you to get on?

Speaker 14 (35:03):
No?

Speaker 20 (35:03):
I generally do nail serious time, I get it right.
I think it's half the time of fluke. But my
question is this does a computer generated image and not
know what a computer not know what it is actually
portraying or showing? You know, it's like, oh god, it's
like in solve my intelligence way, don't you?

Speaker 15 (35:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
I did one and it was twenty. I was twenty
different times and they still wouldn't hit me on. I
know what's that about?

Speaker 2 (35:31):
I don't know, macus.

Speaker 21 (35:33):
Was it about perfect lights or that.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Human's sounding stupid now, but no, it was it was
one time I couldn't get on.

Speaker 8 (35:42):
I would have given up made on about the fifth
and tent.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Maybe I am a robot. But hey, crumpets.

Speaker 20 (35:47):
Now I feel a little bit passionate about crumpets because
I think basically with butter and a thick slice of butter,
and if I go to extremes and really flash it up,
I might put a back when I could use the
sugar and the honey hot honey, not hot, but the
honey on top of the drizzle through both well toasted crumpets.

(36:09):
Oh fantastic. I do miss the crumpets because I don't
eat them anymore for many reasons. What do Mainly reasons
one I can't have the sugar and I can't really
do the butter. But which brings me on to Brisbane
Broncos and Warriors. I think that's going to be a
real telltale of a season. I think it's believe it's
next weekend, Marcus, I'm thinkful.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
I think the Warriors have a buye do.

Speaker 20 (36:33):
They the week after Brisbane Broncos?

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Is that magic round or magic round?

Speaker 7 (36:40):
Now you've got me.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
What magic round is. It's a bit like the Super
twelve fifteen where they have they have all the teams
playing the same stadium. Ah, yeah, it's it's magic rounds.
It's not next week it's the week after. I think.

Speaker 20 (36:55):
You're not going to say they're coming to christ Chitch,
are you? There would only be wishful thinking. Perhaps National
Stadium here in christ Chich.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
No, I reckon they'll be there next year. And they
should have tried to get magic round for for for
your your stadium, I think, and it probably will go.
So you know, once the.

Speaker 20 (37:14):
I'd love to see a South Island team Marcus and
the NRL.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
No one was talking about that now are they now?
All seems to be the part New Guinea Chiefs we were.

Speaker 15 (37:25):
And I think it died.

Speaker 20 (37:26):
I don't know what happened to it, and maybe it
just started a natural death. I don't know. But anyhow
I thought, I put my two bob Worth and how
was Riverton? What can you tell me? What can you
shield that?

Speaker 4 (37:36):
I was good? Yeah, I mean it was kids doing
sort of learning about the history. So just with the
just with the Warriors. I do think that very much.
The Warriors have very much become New Zealand's team, haven't
they When they sold out where they started the Caketon,
well just about sold out. I mean, if they went
to christ Chi you would sound immediately because you know
you know, christ has got that working class nuggetness, nuggetiness

(37:58):
that that we love there is.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 20 (38:00):
I still maintain. Look, I would have liked to have
seen it. There are two old cattle yards, and I
know half on about it, but I still say it's
built in the wrong spot and it should be rather
than constricted onto the little acre and should have scott.
But I'm going to eat a horse with it.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
But there you go, nice and dave a nice to
hear the good choices you're taking for yourself without going crumpets.
But there we go. Thanks for that. Thirteen past nine.
That's crump at day to day, the toppings, the toppings.
But that ben bone marrow and BlackBerry marcus, it's a
jiffy I don't think it is a jiffy iron. I
think it's called a quicksie iron. But I don't like
that word. I have never heard of hot honey, and

(38:37):
I'm into food and cooking big time. Crumpets. Yes, mine
go moldy and expire after three days.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
So it's the square ones that go moldier quicker than
the round ones, of course, because the extremities fancy hot
honey what'll ever be next? And someone's feedback for truckies
hagger Lions. I don't know what people are saying, some
stupid stuff. Tone, Yeah, clotted cream. I got to get
out of that cream bro. It's creambro, it's creambro. It's

(39:06):
a great name. H fancy Dan thinking just the top
bit is the traffic light? What bit of a person's
a person?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Just the head?

Speaker 4 (39:17):
For me? The traffic light is the whole thing. What
part of the ladder is the ladder?

Speaker 14 (39:21):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Just the top bit or the rungs? And I can't
believe that. I can't believe that Dave laughed at me
because I can't get into my can't prove I'm not
a robot. But it is a worry Marcus. If that
man was from Christ, I'm surprised you mentioned the real
square crumpets were seasonally made Seasoning and Christ many years ago.
I think the Cotton family made them. They weren't packaged.

(39:43):
You got them from the grocery store. They were two
cents when I first saw them. It's definitely this is Marcus.
Welcome good evening. You're never good with you, You're never
good with your time, is definitely which I do love
about I do love that about you. You got no
idea with small talk with time, I.

Speaker 19 (40:02):
Only working up yours a so it's always morning.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Ye.

Speaker 19 (40:06):
The Kiffie iron and the quipsy iron from what I remember,
so the same thing for doing toasted damwiches on an
open fire. Yes, and the crumpets, oh yes, I like this.
Ones have trouble with the toaster doing them. And then

(40:27):
I get the square cheesed old chad of cheese and
just drop on top and let it melt in through
those holes.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Numb numb, numb, numb, like the plastic rep cheese.

Speaker 14 (40:38):
Yep, brilliant.

Speaker 19 (40:39):
It's easy, it's easy and unwrapid just drop it on there.
It's all free slid sweethets. Easy done.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Would you pop that under the grill?

Speaker 19 (40:50):
I don't have a grill where I am, so I
get the crumpets as well as I can and just
let it. The keys sit on it for a while
and it's sort of half milt through the holes.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
And yet you don't do that in the truck. You
gottn it on the truck.

Speaker 19 (41:05):
No, okay, I haven't got on oven here. Some of
the trucks you can get microwaves in the Maion and
coffee makers.

Speaker 21 (41:14):
But we don't have that.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
I thought you'd have a flesh trucks truck. Okay, it's
not that flesh if it's got no microwave and you
can't make coffee.

Speaker 19 (41:27):
Yes, because it's a company trucks, you see.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Okay, copy that, someone says Marcus. The Warriors played Christich Sunday,
June twenty one versus Cowboys. Let me just look at
where the Cowboys are on the letter. Are they a
good team this year? It's hard to tell with them.
I just look where the letter is because why there's sex,
the sex the cowboys just by the tigers. You think

(41:50):
they started a bit rubbish and they've actually picked up.
I see Stormer off the bottom of the Dragons are
back down to the bottom of the horror season.

Speaker 12 (41:57):
Garry KURNI here you going make good.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Guess up.

Speaker 12 (42:01):
I'm just on the crisis hospital at the moment. Hopefully
they'll look me out in a couple of days. I
hope they got me on. They got me on a diet,
and I'll keep it simple. You put put two crumpets,
nice round crumpets into the toaster, and I put them
down twice, and then I bring them out and they
get the West Wist gold West Coast cold butter. I ring.

(42:27):
It was nice and creamy and and you spread it
all over the top of it, not the base, and
then just good old fish and peanut butter and then
a nice large, flat white Wow.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Is this this is not what you're having in hospital?

Speaker 13 (42:42):
No?

Speaker 15 (42:42):
No, no.

Speaker 12 (42:42):
They got me on a they got me on the
on the you know what you get in hospitals. You know,
like you feel like McDonald's all the time.

Speaker 9 (42:49):
But I'm not there there.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
Oh, are you going to be all right, Gary?

Speaker 12 (42:54):
Yes, yes I am.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
If you had if you had a heart attack.

Speaker 12 (42:58):
No, no I had. I was having trouble with my kidneys,
and they did they did a they went in through
me back and they took a couple of bits of
my kidneys today, but they they reckon everything's going to
be quite good. I stood to lose failure and me
kidneys through.

Speaker 9 (43:21):
I cut it short.

Speaker 12 (43:22):
My white sails started to believe that my red cells
and the kidneys were basically interfering with my my body,
and so they decided they're going to destroy my kidneys.
So I said, they feel quite unwell. About six weeks ago,

(43:42):
and I just didn't I do a bit of running,
and the next minut I was walking, and then I
went to me doctor and the kid the kidne kept
on what they're supposed to be, kep on, just dropping down,
dropping down, and he said, look, I'm going to get
a kidneys. I'm bringing out the kidneys specialless people and

(44:04):
and withan But basically within two days I was up
here and I am. They did so many blood tests
and they found that it's it's not rare, but it's
not common. Small children can get a form of it,
little babies can get it, and people about my age
can get it on about seventy one, and and it's

(44:29):
it's not really that common. I took a few blood
tests to find there as they that the specially said
it's a sinky little bugger. It's sort of but they
found it. And hopefully I'm on all this drugs and
stuff at the moment, but they said, hopefully, we believe

(44:52):
that you're going to restore your kidneys back to pretty good,
not not perfect, because I am seventy one, but they said,
we think we will get it, get it back into
the sixties. It was down as low as fifteen kidneys.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
And and Gary, if you just said that operation today.

Speaker 12 (45:09):
Yep, you're down through the back. It's called There was
some a lot of pain earlier on because after they
do it, they well they do they just take a
bit of your kidney away. They want to they're going
to convict to me tomorrow. They just want to see
how much damage has been done. They've got to fear
or idea just through the blood tease. I I just

(45:32):
forget the name of it's a special name for it.
I have to look up saying yeah, as my daughter says, yeah,
you're you're one of the people who have got to
You've basically got to real it's like a read it.
It's not an evy day thing that I got.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Live there, Gary, But look sounds it sounds like you're going. Well,
keep in touch to us now when you get out.
Thank you. Twenty two past nine nine BRNT it's Marcus. Welcome. Hi, Brent,
Dear Marcus, you're welcome.

Speaker 13 (46:02):
Yeah, sure, brother Marcus. We're some more rage right yep.
I'm going to heat you with the wine. And you've
got to tell me the TV program Good Evening Citizens Music.

Speaker 15 (46:16):
Mark.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Oh, you're like a radio show. Yeah with old Dr Rob.

Speaker 13 (46:19):
Now I was on TV bro Okay Sunday night.

Speaker 13 (46:26):
No, the one before it bro Okay, Remember.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
It is this crumpet related Yes.

Speaker 13 (46:32):
Crumb machine Marcus. Yeah, but the crumpets, bro.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
B.

Speaker 13 (46:39):
I've eaten them for the last god fifty years.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Right.

Speaker 13 (46:44):
The only way to do a crumpet and the toaster
on the plate butter and golden syrup. Wow, but tell
me you've tried it, Maucus.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
You see when I put the when I put them
in the toaster. Yeah, then I put the toaster down right, yes,
but just lye them on the top on those slots
to cook the top side of it more.

Speaker 13 (47:13):
Yeah, Marcus, Dick Dick going before when he shid you
got doing toys. That's what I do. Two minutes on
Hoy and then another minute and a half on HOI yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Okay, I don't reckon it cooks them evenly. I reckon
you need to do one. I reckon it should be
a special trumpet toast, crumpet toaster and a trumpet toaster.

Speaker 11 (47:37):
Shop.

Speaker 7 (47:39):
Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 13 (47:42):
Two minutes when they come up, I tune them over,
tune them around.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
I hadn't thought it. No, that's not what I'm thinking about,
because the toast is cooking them evenly, right, Yes, So
I get them out of the toaster and then put
the toaster down and then rest the crumpet on the
top of the toaster, on the top of the grooves and.

Speaker 13 (48:04):
That kind of gast marked case.

Speaker 18 (48:08):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
And then and that gives them that that brown's the
top up. Yeah, give it a go. I can't believe
you've haven't done it, Brent. I'm going to own that one.
Twenty seven past nine. Want to laugh? That guy had cheapers?
How are you going people? What's happening? If this is
something different you want to mention tonight? Good?

Speaker 12 (48:31):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (48:33):
Could you ask your listeners if they have used Koala
cloths for cleaning windows? Anyone used Koala cloths? I've googled them.
I don't really know what they are streak free micro
fiber cloths. I don't know where there, I don't know

(48:56):
what their backstory is. If it wass streak free cleaning,
it's no scrub daddy. So could someone tell me about
Koala cloths? They have a Wikipedia page, well type and
Koala cloths. I don't think it's Kohala skin, is it?

Speaker 22 (49:10):
You?

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Stupid murcus hell? Could you think that was Koala skin?
I was joking, he could you think that was koala skin?
Koala cloths? I got no idea. It must be. It
must be an infomercially type thing. If people are seeing
this and weren't wondering, I think they're I think they're pricey.
Well the aired I saw you buy six all toasters

(49:33):
have a crumpet setting. I don't think they do. I
grandudate them raw as the packets does not say to
cook them. Goodness, i'd cook them, yeah, I don't think
they'd be good raw. Mind you you don't cook. You
eat red bread raw, you eat bagels raw. However, that
guy Harrison went home from Treasure Island or I like him.

(49:55):
He's good. He's the tap dancer. He's very good on
the radio too, so I'm surprised I sent him home.
He's yeah. Anyway, I don't watch it. I'm just letting
you know what happened. Spoiler alert. By the way to
State Away Sex north of and Raccago has been cleared.
There was that accident at Makarewa that has now resolved itself.
There have been serious injuries there that's happened and it

(50:19):
seems to be resolved. But get in touch. I want
some calls please on Koala cloths, because I mean, I
don't get junk mail. I've got no letterbox. But sometimes
there's new products that you really need to know about,
and I've missed out on these. So if you know
I've got some information about Kohala cloths, that's that's big
for me. Be in touch if you want to mention

(50:41):
that that's important that we need to talk about that tonight.
That's Koala cloths, not made from Koala's. There we go,
Princess Eugenie is expecting a third child goodness, and there
is the doomed cruise ship where three have died with
a ratbourne hanta virus. It looks like a hell of

(51:02):
a cruise. They've been to all like small islands. They've
been the attactic pinch Ushawala, which is down the bottom
of South America, South Georgia, Tristan d'acuna, GoF Island, Saint
Helena and Cape Brood. Has been a great trip apart
from the people dying from the rats. So Koala cloths
is what we're on about. I need to talk her

(51:23):
about that. I don't have to mention someone someone's ask
a question, not resolve it. That's the plan. If you
want to mention that twenty eight to ten, how are
you people? Anything else you want to talk about mentioned,
that's the plan. Mainly the discussion is crumpets. That's the
major topic for tonight. But if you do have something
else good or good to hear from you, now let

(51:43):
me think we else I have to mention tonight. Yeah,
I'll do worried that not more people think, well, I'm
not a robot clicking traffic lights, clicking those things that. Yeah,
I've got that one clearly wrong. I'll try and get
better at that. Some of the other thing you need
to know. David Edinborough will turn one hundred on fifth, sixth,
seventh Friday. Tuesday is the first Wednesdays six Yeah Friday,

(52:07):
that's happening. So yes, but be in touch if you
want to mention any of these topics or something else.
But Koala cloths are the main topic for now and
any crumpet hints. But yeah, Marcus is generally to talk
about crumpets. Mentioned square ones with dimples in the wonder
if you're talking about waffles. Marcus buttered both sides of

(52:28):
the crumpet, put in micro munchie on a high for
three minutes. Delicious. I've forgotten what a micro munchie is.
I think we've talked about those on here. Let me
just google that too. I think that's sort of an envelope,
a plastic envelope for your I think we gave them away.
It's a silicon and metal sandwich maker that will work
in the toasted sandwich and make that work in the

(52:48):
micro and make things crispy. But it's the Koala cloth
skins that I want to know about. Blah blah blah blah.
News from around the world. Not much news from New
Zealand even less quite or quiet in the Strait of Hormuz.
Latest is, Iran warns it will attack US force if

(53:10):
they enter the straight offor moves after UI. After Trump
says UIs will help guide stranded ships, Iran says it
will respond harshly. Yes. I don't know how the Iranian
economy is going, but that's happened. There's some pretty interesting
billboards in Iran anyway. Enough for mewy four to twenty

(53:34):
four to ten. Someone said by text they can't believe
THEO was killed on Toronation Street. THEO grim sure that
must be so that's a big deal. I don't know
much about that. It's been a while. But what I
am excited about is I think we're in step with
the UK when it comes to Corierrari. So that's not
a spoiler alert. Whether it's not a spoiler or a
spoiler alert, hey, just on the roads. I don't know

(53:56):
how the roade to Abaquino is going up from Morco.
If you know more about that, let me know. But
the lines are free. If there's something different you want
to talk about text or do tonight, that's important I
hear from you. Koala cloths is what I want to
talk about. But there've been a lot of text, but
I need voices. I need to hear the conviction of
people's voice about how good they are. Marcus, A bit

(54:17):
of butter on both sides of a crump for it,
cump crump crumpet. Then lightly fry it, have it with hot,
have it hot with cooked bacon an egg on it.
Delicious for a weekend brunch. I think that's the breakfast
lunch thing, the brunch. The movie star Jingie Heckman's wife
died of handt to virus. Thanks Christine. I think they
were living with a lot of rats. I watched that

(54:37):
program Hoarders once. That guy living with the rats, who
should have heard the sound of them. They're like his pets.
His wife had died in mystery, just like the company.
So it was pretty confronting kind of a show to watch. Actually,
But yes, my name is Marcus. Welcome Hititil twelve, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine to text
a Koala cloths and crumpets. They are two suggested topics.

(54:59):
We might need a bit of a reset, but that's
fine if you want to come through with something else tonight.
I don't know what it is. I don't know if
I I'm on song with my topics, but yeah, but
be in touch if you want to talk about this
or anything else. But yeah, that's the plan. Not like
tappening around the world that I can see. Bindi Irwin
was missing from her father's Steve Irwin Gala know where

(55:21):
Bindy was. That's a big deal. Or not finds traveling
challenging himid her endometriosis battle. There you go, now, Texts
and calls and yeah, let's get a bit of a
hurry along people if you want to talk. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty are the latest from this

(55:41):
incident to in Southland State Highway six Winton Launville Highway
has now been cleared. Instant reported around six forty Highway
blocked both the riches between Flora Road and O Ryan Road.
Moderate and minor injuries are reported with AMUS the services
on the scene. Motives were advised to avoid the areas
of Emerginy services worked to clear the crash and diversions

(56:03):
were in place and these expected. Please thank motors for
their patient So well done with that one, Thanks for that.
Nineteen to ten, Marcus I created a song about the
stupid robot tick box thing. It's always confused me too.
You relate to the song so much. I've a test
for you. I overthink it's so much I cannot pass

(56:24):
the test. Yeah, well that's exactly me. Interesting. His name
is Robot or Robert Marcus. We were electric blankets from
Kmart last week. It's seven pm time. It's a bad
burning plastic spell on seats and house. It was a
kind of smoke coming from electric blanket. I unplugged it
and put it out the windows. Will had issues with
Kmart electric blankets. We don't want that, so yeah, electric

(56:45):
blankets is always good talk back for me. I was
always someone that likes to leave them on at night.
They say you're not supposed to be You wonder what
the point is. I like a cold bed too. Incidentally,
I've stepped in rooms where the ice is throat, where
waters turned to ice.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
I like the struggle of a cold bed. But that's
the plan. But if you're to be a part of it,
I need you have calls tonight if you want to
talk here til twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty and
the Koala cloths, someone must have tried them. Who is
that someone? And anything else that you want to mention
or talk about tonight? As you say, oh, eight hundred

(57:22):
eighty to eighty nineteen nine to text, anything goes hittell
twelve boo doo Marcus, what are those Koala cloths advertised
on Facebook? Aren't those scam ones? Do do do do dush?

(57:44):
So there we go. Maybe that person should have sent
me that coronation streect text. Maybe they were deliberately doing that.
I just read out the text people don't blame me,
how would the person know? And if it hadn't screened
here yet Cheapers seventeen to ten, sixteen to ten here
till twelve is a from Steven. It's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (58:07):
Good evening, Okay, Marcus. Look, I want to talk about
duck shooting. The opening weekends come and gone, and the
weather was pretty good, which typically means that the ducks
are flying high. But there were still many, many thousands

(58:28):
of ducks shot this last weekend. And I think it's
time to give the ducks a chance. I don't think
it's fair. And I think that you take these guys
that have got these my eyes, and they got decoys
out on the pond, and they've got themselves covered in
face paint and you know, disguised up. I reckon it's

(58:50):
time the ducks were allowed to have face paint themselves.
I think that the ducks should be allowed bulletproof vests.
And I think I just don't think it's fair, So
I think that should be evened up a little bit.
I reckon the ducks are not getting a fair goat,
and that they also think that it should be only
duck shooting at night, so that the you know, the

(59:13):
ducks have got a chance. The hunters can't actually see
the ducks, so that's yeah, I reckon it's time to
even up the playing field a little bit.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
What you're saying is quite interesting is that there's been
so much technological gains for hunters in the last fifty years,
with robodecoys and face paint everything, that it's become one sided.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
It's terribly one sided, and most of the duck families
that I know are not happy about it.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
How would it work at night?

Speaker 5 (59:47):
Well, the ducks will have an advantage because you're not
allowed spotlighting, and so the ducks can come in and
land reasonably safely. The hunters will still let let room,
but they'll have they shouldn't be able to see the
duck because they'll have his face paint on.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
How will the ducks? How will the know? Wouldn't that
make it more dangerous?

Speaker 5 (01:00:10):
Well, it's dangerous enough for the ducks, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
Very good point? You make, all the points you make
extremely good, Steve, and I liked all of it. Thank you. Hi, Sam,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:00:19):
Hey Marcus, hore you good Sam. I just wanted to
talk to you about the World Cup. I just ended
the new thing with b and then how they're charging
you like fifty bucks to watch.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
The games forty four or something. I saw that today.

Speaker 8 (01:00:33):
Yeah, what what did you make of it?

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
I will investigate it further. I was aware of it.
What games are they playing on linear TV free to wear?

Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
I think they said that there would be a couple
of the group stage games are just in these in.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
The ones, so I will probably just watch I'll watch
all the all white ones on free to wear. Okay,
you'd be a super fan. You sound British English? Yeah, yeah,
so you'll you'll you'll need to spend step money to
watch your team, right, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:01:05):
Yeah, I just thought it was I thought there would
be more games on prettywhere more try to encourage people to.

Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
Watch the football, because I presume Sky hasn't got the
right to correct in that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:16):
Yeah, I think so. I think you're right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
Eh, So when you I mean, it doesn't sound to
be an over the top feet to me, I mean
it's forty four bucks for I mean there's the hundred
I guess if you look at them, yeah, I guess
if you look at the price of a movie on
pay per view TV, it doesn't see. It doesn't seem
that much to me. As long as the website's not
too jenky and it's smooth, that's what I'd be worried about.

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
Yeah, no, yeah, definitely just streaming. Yeah, it just seems
it just seems weird because, like I guess, lots of
sports fans, they get the Sky Sports and then then
you know, they can't get access to that, so they
have to get another subscription and it's just never get
everything at once.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
For these days, I almost feel like there needs to
be another quantum leap and technology so suddenly everything's back
on the same platform again, but now it's too fractured
for me.

Speaker 8 (01:02:04):
Yeah. Yeah, they those they go forward but end up
going backwards.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
What's England's draw, Sam, I'm not one hundred.

Speaker 8 (01:02:12):
Percent sure on New England a plane. I know that
Scotland they've got Brazil. That was a lot we're looking
at the games yesterday. But yeah, that's all.

Speaker 11 (01:02:25):
Good man, Thanks Mane.

Speaker 8 (01:02:26):
I just wanted to see what you're kind of thought
to see if you thought that was there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
It does feel fair to me. But as long as
England's got Croatia, Ghana and Panama, oh yeah, and the
good Times. They're all eight o'clock in the morning, I think,
provided that's been jigged around for me as i've yeah,
they wouldn't be clas Yeah, so it seems like it's
good times for New Zealand to watch it before you
go to work.

Speaker 8 (01:02:46):
Yeah, exactly, makes it makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
Sam, thank you seven to nine. Good evening, Kate. This
is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:02:54):
No Marcus here, are you good?

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Kate?

Speaker 17 (01:02:57):
That's good. I just did a Google sor search on
these sam Koala cross and they're actually made in Florida
and from bamboo and then manufacturer in Florida, so they
don't even originate from Australia. They're using their brand, the Microfiber,
and they made and from bamboo from Japan and set

(01:03:21):
the eighty dollars for three for two and then you
can get an extra one free if you pay a
little bit extra. So they're very, very expensive. But I've
never heard of them before, and I googled it and
I thought, oh, this is interesting, and I was like, gosh,
that's a good marketing employe. O.

Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
Kate, you said microfiber, like you know what microfiber means.
It's just a word to me. What does that mean, Well, it.

Speaker 17 (01:03:47):
Means, I would say artificial.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
But none of it's from bamboo.

Speaker 17 (01:03:53):
Well, actually, to be honest, I'm not. I don't know.
But they said it was from bamboo. But whether that's
to make it, you know, clean green, Yeah, marketing campaign up.
Part of that's what they're clean green marketing campaign UP

(01:04:13):
would think.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
But if it's made from bamboo, it's made from bamboo,
that's a good thing.

Speaker 21 (01:04:18):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 17 (01:04:18):
I'm not suggesting it's not. I'm just I'm just wondering
the price. So one hundred and twenty for three clubs my.

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
Last for it made from koala? Is it expensive to get?

Speaker 17 (01:04:31):
Well, they're not made from koalas. They suggest that they're
not made from koalas Australia. They're actually made in Florida.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Space say they're not made from koalas.

Speaker 17 (01:04:45):
Yes, they're not made from koalas. We're sorry. They're not
actually made from koalas. They're made from the Japanese bamboo.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
OK.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
What I think is interesting they're.

Speaker 17 (01:04:55):
Made in China and then Florida are exporting them.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Well, I think it's interesting clean Well, I think it's
interesting is that anyone would think they were made from Koalas.

Speaker 17 (01:05:05):
Well, sort of copper well copyright I don't know, but
it's yeah, I'm just trying to see our green and
plaines so well.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
It could be a wonderful, it could be a wondercloth.

Speaker 14 (01:05:17):
Kate, Oh well, give it a go.

Speaker 17 (01:05:20):
Nothing bit of a newspaper though, it's where do.

Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
You get newspaper from now? There's no newspaper. You can't
use the internet. Conteenu windows. I've got to go down.
I've going to go down and buy buy lots of
grab lots of copies of the South and Express to
start my fires. Exactly, no newspaper anymore. I want took
about Koala cloths and crumpets and Coronation Street. It's all

(01:05:46):
the seas. I know that Koalas were the k hold.
Your horse will be with you after the news will
come to you. It's going to go and get the
kettle sorted for a kappa. Malcolm thought the guying there
with the ducks was a bit of a quackup was
for a good down South, for I did say there
was sort of ducks for dead ducks floating around the
rivers in history. I thought was a bit grim. Marcus,

(01:06:08):
agree with your caller, it's duck ambushing, not duck hunting.
The guys talking non since I've got two ducks on Sunday,
it was a great day with the boys. I speak
of talking to people to day they got eighty. Duck
hunting is real life satire. I have got to say
that on the roding from Bluffy's paddocks. With huge amounts
of ducks this year, more than I've ever seen, so,
I don't know what I thought. They monitored the duck

(01:06:29):
numbers quite assiduously. I thought, the ducks man you maybe
I've just bought that rhetoric. I don't duck hunt, but
I know a lot of people that do. But good evening,
people have just seen her. My name is Marcus, welcome,
h till twelve, wide varied topic. Tonight keep this thing,
you'll pick up what's going on? dB, It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:06:47):
Oh, good evening, and may the that's.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
Right, the fourth all of that.

Speaker 21 (01:06:51):
Do you remember going I've watched the first three and
then I outgo.

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
But do you remember going to that first one?

Speaker 15 (01:07:03):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:07:03):
I remember going the first one only because I waited
for the hype to die down. I went mid week
and I was the only person in the theater. Wow,
that was quite surreal.

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
On Queen Street.

Speaker 21 (01:07:19):
No, I was, and that was in Okay. I was
living in Wellington at the time, and yeah, that was
that was a surreal thing to do, is to go
to a full sized theater be the only one there.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
Yes, ever into a Mums and bub session.

Speaker 21 (01:07:35):
No, No, I know of them, but I think I
actually picked the one for me because it was It
wasn't the ten o'clock metinee, which is Mums and Bubs.
I think I went to the two o'clock first afternoon session.

Speaker 4 (01:07:50):
I didn't see the second and third. And when I
say the first, I mean the fourth obviously.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
Right, Yeah, yeah, And I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Never see I never saw any others in the in
the movies, just the first. I saw The Rise of Skywalker,
the last one, and the second last one. I never
saw any of the original nine in the movie theaters
apart from the first and the first one was transformative
in the cinema.

Speaker 21 (01:08:11):
Absolutely okay, completely different. I was going to talk about
electric blankets for your Koala cloths. Has got me intrigued,
and I put on my Joe Nighty glasses to work
out what they're all about and they're they're an American

(01:08:33):
company Headshrike is on an Australian name selling things out
of China with a marketing focus on Australia and New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:08:45):
And there's a company in Australia called Koala Echo who
racks creating products. And it looks like the Americans have
sort of parlayed the Koala name into their to this
Koala cloth.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
What's the word for that? When you shotgun when you
ride someone else's brand, it's almost like you've pi. I
think it's piggyback the brain. I think that's the word
you and I are looking for.

Speaker 13 (01:09:10):
Yes, Yeah, and.

Speaker 21 (01:09:14):
Reading some of their hype, it's yeah. Nowhere on the
stuff that I've read do they mentioned bamboo. I can
imagine bamboo being manufactured down to the micron and sub
micron level to make the work, but I can't see

(01:09:35):
it in the literature that I've just been reading. I've
read it's been ten minutes in it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
It doesn't saything about Dragon's Den, nothing at all. I
just wonder why people start taking it. Must be popping
up on people's Facebook feeds or something.

Speaker 21 (01:09:51):
It just says it's a high grade dense nano fiber.
Microfiber technology sons fiber is sub sub half of micron,
and micro was plus half of micro onto a one micron.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
I think can we acknowledge, though Dbu and me, that
people are looking for something to clean windows with now
that newspaper is no longer a thing?

Speaker 13 (01:10:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:10:16):
Yeah, And I was thinking about that today. I need
to clean move front of my inside of my windskin
in my car. I can't find myself a decent piece
of newspaper exactly because the newspaper has zinc in the
in the ink, and it means your windscreen won't fog
up as readily if you've cleaned it with newspapers then

(01:10:38):
as if you cleaned it with a cloth and it's
less streaking.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
Does it say anything about the Koala cloth for.

Speaker 9 (01:10:44):
The car, Yeah it does.

Speaker 21 (01:10:46):
It's just for shower glass mirrors and car windows without streaks.
But I don't think I'm going to pay one hundred
dollars for a micro five o'cloth. I think I can
just done.

Speaker 15 (01:11:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 21 (01:11:01):
I can't knock over a paper boy anymore. They haven't
got any, do you go.

Speaker 4 (01:11:07):
There'll be some, there'll be some copy ones that are
just as good will they're not.

Speaker 21 (01:11:11):
I think so, Yeah, I might find the local rag
if next time in the four square or something. Have
we've got a couple of seconds for electric blankets?

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Yeah, I think I have. So you did the research
for us about kohal as. I'll go with that.

Speaker 21 (01:11:28):
I'm going to wind up your safety bongers. My two
electric blankets are underneath the mattress, so they heat through
the mattress to keep the mattress basically dry and warm.
And I don't switch them off and they haven't been
switched off. Well, these ones must be three years old.

(01:11:48):
They must be coming up for replacements, so they haven't
been switched off for three years. Summer and winter. No one,
they're they're all on one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
They're not on high.

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
So why have you got two? Are they one on
top of the other?

Speaker 21 (01:12:02):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:12:03):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:12:03):
What?

Speaker 21 (01:12:03):
Yeah, you've got left side of bed, right side of bed.
I see, and at a control for each side of
the bed, even though there's only one person in the bed.
That's me.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
So there's two singles underneath the mattress.

Speaker 21 (01:12:15):
Yeah, that's the one.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
Was what was what was your thinking?

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Well?

Speaker 21 (01:12:22):
That because the forces transferation of good word for a
Wednesday Monday. Is it so well that you go for
That's what happens when you're retired. It doesn't matter by
warning the mattress up fully it's hotter than the bottom.
It draws air through the mattress and the moisture with it,

(01:12:42):
and then it transpires or evaporate through the top.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Of the bed.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
Did someone suggest it to you.

Speaker 21 (01:12:48):
No, it's one of those weird things I cooked up
on my own. I'll get the fire again regul me
soon to tell me that I'm about to die, but
I haven't been killed yet.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
No, it sounds very surprising. Have you got a smoke alarm.

Speaker 21 (01:13:05):
In your room? It was right outside my door, but
not one in my room. I suppose it wouldn't be
a bad idea. I've done this though, for what the
last ten years I've had I've cycled three three sets
of blankets. None of them have shown any sign of overheating,
and I just changed about for safety reasons, says he

(01:13:28):
who doesn't tend the things in the middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
Does your metris feel warmish on the top?

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:13:35):
No not, but it's wants to get into bed. Very
little effort takes the warm to feel warm, because the
whole bed is not unlike a water bed.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
I never heard, never heard in all my life, I've
never heard anything like this before.

Speaker 21 (01:13:50):
Well that's not the first time. Be fair to say
that to me.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
No, but but and I am reinterested in it because
it seems almost done.

Speaker 21 (01:14:00):
Counterintuitors, Well, no, not countering.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
It sounds like hynarchy to me to be you've not
always so cautious of electric blankets. Have you've thrown all
that caution into the world. Not only have you not
turning yours on and off, You've got two of them,
and they're under the mattress, which will be full of
wires and sort of hissy and flammable straw Hissian type stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
You on the little ones.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
What a way to go. You don't want to diet,
you don't want to be you don't want to be
on a funeral pyre.

Speaker 21 (01:14:30):
I am careful they are. I make sure there's no
creases in them when I know text a bit of
laying the mattress down when I whenever I turn the
mattress over. But apart from that, I've had no problem.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
You can get any Are you convincing other people to
do it?

Speaker 19 (01:14:45):
Um?

Speaker 21 (01:14:46):
No, just in case someone gets it wrong, because if
you put a crease into an electric blanket, even when
that's you're laying on top of the pit, that's when
they can get very dangerous, very quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
You know, I'm speechless.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
In that case.

Speaker 21 (01:15:03):
I've done my job and we'll see what what blights
up with your telephone line?

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
Thank you very much. Wow you way just by a
double electric blanket. But two wow, Now here's something for you.
And I've just gone to Al Jazeera because you're the

(01:15:27):
only person that's reporting this and I'm looking out US
military video. Iran's Fast News agency says US warship has
been turned back from the straight of hor Moves after
being targeted by two missiles. So the video is not
from today. So they were going to provide escorts. But

(01:15:50):
two missiles have targeted. They haven't hit the worship. Have
they done? There's there's no talk. It's a bit vague.
This is just breaking new. I didn't go breaking news
because there's so much news on hor Moves. Where's it's
that say that from? Where? From al Jazeera? Is it
on the banner on the live blog?

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
Do I go to al Jazeera to get that m
Jerzra Live, I get live. I always get confused with
live because also looks like live, doesn't it, and we
all want to live. Now I've gone to the website,
I've already clicked the wrong thing Aljazeera dot com and

(01:16:31):
then I go to a picture Japan says hor moves.
Am I clicking on that live updates? Is that what
I'm going to? Okay? Iran's military says it, we'll take
US force to the attempt to approach with the straight
of hord Moose. It doesn't say they've been Yeah, I'm
just trying to I'm just trying to say the WHI
says that's hit something. I'm not seeing that there, Dan Oh,

(01:16:51):
here we go. So this is from eleven minutes ago.
Sorry they took a while to get there. But I
think it's important to hear this news because this is
this is this could define our generation Iran. Iran's Fars
News agency says two missiles hit the US worship and
Horne Moose. One fast news agency setting local source reports
two missiles at a US Navy vessel near Jask Island

(01:17:12):
after ignored warnings from the Revolutionary Guard to halt the
report attach comes after present. Trump said the US will
will begin at Project Freedom on Monday to guide stranded
ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Commands
said it would support the effort with fifteen thousand military personnel,
more than one hundred sea based aircraft, along with warships

(01:17:32):
and roans. So it seems as though they've already been denied,
that the Iranians have hit them with two missiles and
the ship has turned around. It's the latest, That's all
I know. It's now been report on the BBC pretty
past ten. Interesting enough summer to nakaway MARKUS. I'm curious
about waterbeds. I wonder if any of the listeners know

(01:17:54):
if there are any motels, Booker Batch, Airbnb type place
where I could sleep on one for a few nights.
I can't even locate a water beds show room within
half a day's driving from me here in Totonga. The
Auckland guy Regazatland a physical since Covis. I'm also wondering
if the lack of availability slash popularity is because of
good reason though, or just because they are hangover from

(01:18:14):
the eighties and uncool now on an Debbie, I don't
know what the situation is with waterbeds. I've always thought
there's so much faffing around if you're moving. But everyone's
got the answers about that. They'll be nice to hear
from you. Where could someone I don't know, if she's
just bed curious, if anyone knows WHI should go and
try a waterbed? We are talking crumpets mainly as the

(01:18:35):
topic tonight? Where did we pivot to from crumpets?

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Dann?

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
There was something else? And koala cloths and robot tests,
which I don't do very well with at all because
when it says click all the things worth traffic lights,
I click the poles, and when it's motorbikes, I click
the people on the motorbikes. I don't read very poorly
with it. In fact, they normally think I'm a robot
fishing for Lisa. That's weird, isn't it, Pete Marcus welcome. Ah,

(01:19:05):
my apologies, Pete. It's because I've pushed the wrong button.

Speaker 15 (01:19:08):
That's all right, Mark, because I won't take that the
wrong way. But no, But regarding yeah, crumpets, you know
I don't have the let off and they are quite nice.
You just put butter on them. I won't go the
fency way and just put honey on or whatever. You know,
even BlackBerry gam are quite nice.

Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
You're making your own BlackBerry jem.

Speaker 15 (01:19:26):
No, no, no, I just going to the supermarket. Let's
get it from the say, honey's always nice. And some
of your callers are said before going on about regards,
you said before, yeah, because you can't get newspapers anymore.
Very you're rere he's still get the mere and you
plumbouthtiking at the daily News and that. But I think
you don't. You might have a show on the while back.
You just use tilet rolls. No very good, that's right

(01:19:48):
that you save your toilet rolls.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Not very good.

Speaker 15 (01:19:51):
That's very slow.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Burning for cleaning your windows, for right on your fire.
Oh forget, I thought, yeah, ah yeah, there's putty stuff
going around. I just like to grab the newspapers off.
I can, oh you a lot better.

Speaker 15 (01:20:03):
But if you just but you just want to even
just to get the are going, because the paper boons
pretty quick. Have you got those toilet rolls? I'll give
them my neighbor and she reckons are really good. But
you will say there's other ways around it. Too, I
have musically and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
You chose the boxes, you know, those joys are cardboard
at our house, there are, Pete. There's all sorts of
stuff going on.

Speaker 15 (01:20:23):
But even those three cycles, those bags get from the supermarket.
All with supermarkets are also good. That's the way to
a round things.

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
You got it? You tell like you even go to
bern have you no?

Speaker 15 (01:20:32):
No, I've got guess but hot water?

Speaker 4 (01:20:34):
But you wouldn't want guests?

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
Would you pay? Pay a cost your fortune?

Speaker 15 (01:20:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:20:40):
I know?

Speaker 15 (01:20:40):
But do you cost your fortune to change it over
to Marcus? You know, I went to the home show
here and you pull a feel about strong.

Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
Most probably pull homes.

Speaker 15 (01:20:49):
Go back now to change everything over the time you
put for verters in and everything. You're going to do
it promptly, your solo pen. It's going to cost you
about twenty five to thirty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:20:59):
Keepers nice to talk, Pete. Thanks to keep it going.
Peter's going to talk or text. It seems like there's
a better drama. And the straight off moves Operation Freedom
and they are stened Russian American ships for with escorts.
But they've just they've missiled the first one and send
it back. So that's go as well as you could imagine,
what a disaster. So this has been corroborated as a story,

(01:21:21):
I think, yeah, guardians reporting it. Two missiles have hit
the US warship intend to pass through straightifle moves and
it sees the report which the Guardian has not yet
been able to independently verify, see the two missiles at
a US Navy frigate saying through the waterway and what
Iran deemed a violation of traffic and security risks. So

(01:21:43):
that's just happening currently and the ship got turned back
by like you probably said, on ship track or if
you get on that, well that might be suppressed information
on ship track given the sensitivity of it. So that's
some of the information we've got for you tonight, and
if you want to join the discussion tonight started with crumpets,
then we moved to a or a robot and all
sorts of other stuff. And if there's things that you

(01:22:03):
want to mention despite this or as I'd love to
hear from me, that's the plan. Get in touch if
you want to. Oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty.
I didn't want to know if anyone had flown Spirit
Air the budgeteer line that people loved hated. They hated
because you paid for everything. They loved it because it
was so much cheaper. I do want to talk more

(01:22:25):
about the Koala cloth. I always liked to learn about
something new. And what about that the guy had electric
blankets under his mattress? You ever heard anything as daft? Yeah,
someone said to be charred grilled Marcus speaking of electric blankets.
When I was thirteen, I had a dream that I
was smoking a cigar. I woke up and the bed
was on fire. A true story. The electric blanket had

(01:22:46):
caught on from but a hole in the mattress might
have boomed to my foot, but that was all. The
room was full of smoke. I dragged the mattress outside
and doused it with the hose. I've always been a
fan of the good old hotty since then. Marcus is
completely off topic, But do you think that we listeds
could one day maybe hear Dan's voice. It seems like
it doesn't really exist, as we've never heard to manswer.

(01:23:06):
You would be great one day to hear him. Thanks Marcus,
Regards Charlie Dan Without going on here, how many times
have you talked on here? Twice on the show, once
about helping people get on Spark for the for the
Rugby World Cup. There was another time Chrome cast. It's
just basically when I'm technical, So when I'm technically at

(01:23:28):
the end of my wits end, will put Dan on
on air. But you don't want you to producer to
be yepping in your ear the whole time, because it's
one thing they want them all the time than that,
you know, been there in the studio with you. Dan
has done. How many other nights have you done? Dan
has done a number of them. Dawns like ten would
it be tear over them? Dawn's do you voice the

(01:23:49):
ads on z B?

Speaker 13 (01:23:50):
Dan?

Speaker 9 (01:23:51):
Not yet?

Speaker 4 (01:23:54):
Twenty eight to eleven Scott, It's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
Hello, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:23:59):
Hi Scott.

Speaker 22 (01:24:05):
So I went down to the warehouse one day, the
local warehouse, and I decided that my duvet wasn't good enough.
So I bought this goose down do.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
They no not the goose and bought Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:24:21):
I brought it home and I unwrapped it and it
was thinners, you know, a slice of bread, and I thought,
oh God, I've been ripped off again.

Speaker 4 (01:24:29):
A panic You think, oh I paid too much, you know,
warehouse goose, that's not where it's supposed to be.

Speaker 22 (01:24:34):
Yep, yeah, I've had it for well over ten years.

Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
Now, best thing you ever bought, exactly.

Speaker 22 (01:24:42):
I've never been comfortable with electro blankets.

Speaker 4 (01:24:46):
So what's with the goose? I guess the geese themselves
don't have many feathers. They're just good feathers, are they?

Speaker 12 (01:24:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
I never shoot one? No, not after this. No, it's
just such.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
A buying scott. Has it got has it got baffels
in it? To stop the goosetle ending at the bottom?

Speaker 22 (01:25:03):
No, no, no, it's just a yes to have a
woolen one.

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
It's just a simple single envelope. And the goose feathers
can end up everywhere. It's not. It's not sewn into squares.

Speaker 22 (01:25:16):
Oh well they do move around a we But but
then again so do I. So you know it's I
have to sometimes turn it around, you know, because my fate,
you know, when you move around and escape and your
faith tend to.

Speaker 4 (01:25:31):
U I rub my feet together at night, Yes me too, Yeah, yes, yes,
no marvelous.

Speaker 22 (01:25:38):
And it only cost me something like forty or fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
I just love a guy that went to the warehouse
and bought something got buyer's remorse. But the Findergate, I
just love this story. I love everything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
I'm not advertising for them, but.

Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
It doesn't matter. They need a helping hand. The where
they're struggling.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Are they really are they?

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
Oh? Well, came out, came in and chopped the bottom
out and yeah, I don't know what's happening with it.
They kind of don't know what they stand. Then they
went with down the grocery. Remember they tried to sell
groceries and that didn't work out so well, so they
tried to Then they tried to have like high end
sports brand but rear items, which was quite good for
a while. That they've tried different things and I don't

(01:26:19):
even know why you go to the what would you
go to the warehouse for? Now?

Speaker 22 (01:26:24):
If you're board on the way to the supermarket or something.
I love hearing christ such because.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
Either there'd be more of a briscos thing would be
a goose do they.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Okay, you can pay a hell a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:26:36):
For them, but the sky, the sky's the limit.

Speaker 22 (01:26:39):
Yeah, this one is reasonably cheap. And like I say,
you know, many years ago and no, I can't complain.
I haven't had looked a blanket and all the need
for one for.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Like I say, ten or so years.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
And you get some cold. Now are you pecking anything
else apart from the gooses their blankets on top or
just the goose?

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Yeah, just a goose? Mate?

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Well when you went when you went looking for that,
did you have goose in mind? Did someone's or you
just just thought just open mind and thought of that
a go.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Well I did a little bit of research.

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
Yeah, okay, Well you've done our research too, because you've
tried it for ten years. And it's light too, isn't it.

Speaker 22 (01:27:25):
Yes, it's not heavy, and I don't like, you know,
sleeping under heavy blankets.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
You know, some people love a weighted blanket, don't you know?
People that feel Some people buy special weighted blankets to
feel make them feel secure at night.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
Yes, but they're not like Sally.

Speaker 4 (01:27:42):
I don't know. I've never given one a go, but
image it might be quite a fun feeling. Oh flip,
you know what. I probably couldn't tell you. It'll just
be some. It'll just be some. It'd be some dove.
But I app I don't know if it's feather or
just some sort of mech I don't know what it is,

(01:28:07):
and a cluster puff, but yeah, I couldn't tell you
what's on top.

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
Well, there's a big difference between duckdown and goose down, clearly, yep.

Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
What would the difference be.

Speaker 22 (01:28:19):
Well, your goose down is lighter, because ducktdowns seem to
be as affect some goose.

Speaker 4 (01:28:27):
I'd like to see. I'd like to see the feathers.
I'd like to see the feathers under under a microscope.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
That's interesting.

Speaker 13 (01:28:34):
Why?

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
Well, because why they're so much better because they always
have those Those jackets have an antarctica or goose, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Yep, that's what they've got so much.

Speaker 22 (01:28:45):
Yeah, well this thing was only about ninety bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
Gooset down offers higher loft, fluffiness and warmth, whereas duck
down is dense and heavier and less expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
I do worry about how they breed the duck feathers.

Speaker 22 (01:29:04):
On now, don't make me feel guilty, sorry, but I
presume the geese anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Yeah, I shouldn't have gone there, thank you. I don't
want you to ride on your parade. Your goose feed
the parade, Thank you. Iranian Army says it has stopped
the interviews, destroyed the straight of her moves with four
men's firm and swift action not verified. This is the
Iranian news agencies reporting that Marcus I hate electric blankets,
but do have good quality flan lit sheets, just put

(01:29:32):
a new didn't doubt enter and thought it was unusual,
ticken and said make complete with recycled plastic bottles. Best
do they in it? Ever? Who knew great prayer? When
one word for sparkling windows carshure? When electric blankets we knew.
My parents got one and sent it back to the
shop three times because it wasn't working. The shop said
it's fine, so several friend members tried it was fine.

(01:29:53):
It turned up my parents had it on top of
the bed. Oh wow, well why not Marcus? Just throwing
the man with electric blanket under the mattresses is considered
that there's a fire causing damage. Insurance will not pay
out because it's not recommended way of using Marcus. One night,
Dan had to start the show after yours after romance
slept and is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
He read the weather. I have purchased Koala cloth. They
are nothing like microfibrae fiber. They are brilliant and have
even brought more as gifts. Costs a lot, but worth
the money. Marcus, that's the most unusual and dangerous thing
I've ever heard. I was speechless, And I've been doing
this in eighty eight and no one's ever said they'd
put the electric blanket under the mattress. It's the most

(01:30:36):
unusual and dangerous thing I've ever heard. You have heard
from dB. For a while, we'll be saying, local fire
chief incredulous. Oh, it's in the quiz fleeting question what
interesting thing does DV do with an electric blanket? It's
under his metris. Local fire chief incredulous at idiot man's

(01:30:58):
use a dead idiots dead man's idiotic use of electric
They wouldn't say that in the news because it would
be too judgmental. If to be respectful A flabbergasted at
men's unusual usage of electric blanket, there'd be my headline.
Once upon a time I had an electric blanket that
was also wool rest. I thought that was my forever blanket.
But yeah, I just think I don't think it was

(01:31:20):
actually ever doing anything. I think Wolve's kind of gone,
although Wolve's coming back. Eh, My sheep have been shorn.
Wolve's back because will and carpets will be back because
there's nothing coming through the straight of or moves, so
the nylon carpets will be up in price. Will all
be back. What you should be doing is buying sheep farms. People.
They'll be convicting dairy to sheep with the carpet bonanza.

(01:31:42):
We're about to witness good evening, Gene. This is Marcus
Welcomes Gen.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
Yeah, I live in Hamilton.

Speaker 4 (01:31:49):
Now.

Speaker 23 (01:31:50):
I think that's the most ridiculous stupid thing I've ever
heard about. That guy with his electric blankets underneath there
Harry hasn't burnt down, or how they haven't burnt out?
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
I'd normally say more, but dB, from the times I've
spoken to him, is an immensely deep thinking and sensible person.
You reckon, well it has been up to now?

Speaker 8 (01:32:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:32:12):
Well I bought a muscle mat for the top of
my bed. What a muscle mat? Now, not the one
you put on your floor. They do the bed toppers,
and they called the muscle mat bed topper that you
put under your sheet. Good now I had They're about
ten centimeters deep. They're amazing. So I thought, what am

(01:32:33):
I gonna do with an electric blanket? And I rang
them up and they said, it cannot go under the
muscle mat, but you can put it on top if
you want to. Well, I tried that, and I could
feel every line of the electrical wires under my sheet,
so I got rid of it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
So what I'm.

Speaker 23 (01:32:51):
Saying is the muscle map ten centimeters deep and you
can't put an electric blanket under that.

Speaker 8 (01:32:57):
What, Well haven't you heard of it?

Speaker 23 (01:33:00):
Oh? Well, they are about ten by ten, you know,
me to squares filled of dack cron i both and
the thick and cuffee and warm. The best thing I've
ever had. I haven't had a So I'm going in
for a knee operation very soon and I've got hips
sore hips in that I can now sleep on my
hips because I'm getting the depth of this comfort.

Speaker 4 (01:33:23):
Would it be better? Would be better than a cluster puff?

Speaker 23 (01:33:26):
Well, I don't know what a cluster puff is.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
Well, you say, had a shocked and I don't know. Okay, yeah,
maybe it's like a cluster. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:33:36):
It might be sounds similar because it's clusters of about
little ten cent a meter by ten c to meter,
you know, blocks, and I just every time I change
the sheets weekly or whatever, I puff it up, shake
it up, fantastic. My daughter put me onto it when
she had one there when I went to Ossie. It's
from Aussie but you order them here and you've got
them in a day or two.

Speaker 4 (01:33:56):
Goodness, no trouble.

Speaker 23 (01:33:58):
But muscle matt is the the latest thing out and
to me it's the greatest, so warm and cozy. So
no thank it for me, because there's no way you
can put it under it. Okay, Well, but they stated,
so how he's doing that, I don't know, and I
don't think on one I can't believe what. Maybe getting

(01:34:19):
any walks up through through there. You might be keeping
his mattress the head.

Speaker 4 (01:34:23):
I suppose you know, it creates a strong response to
your DEBI but thank you, Gene.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Jean.

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
Can't believe it. Hello, Gary, this is Marcus Gary today.

Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
Marcus Hi Gary there.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Yep, yep, we yeah, we're on the way. We're speaking
to the nation.

Speaker 10 (01:34:41):
Okay, all right. I used to sell douvets and the
difference between a father and down do they and a
goose down dove feather and down. The feather is given
or put in the mix to give it weight because
of the stems or quills in the feather, The down

(01:35:03):
content of the goose is a little bit bigger. It
traps the warmth. It's also lighter, and it breeds so
that when you're lying in bed, the dove gives you
the warmth but gives you the comfort as well. People
that use synthetic wonder why they toss and turn at
night is because the dove is not breathing properly. So

(01:35:28):
the synthetic is creating problems, not solving problems.

Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
The waters.

Speaker 10 (01:35:34):
The synthetics aren't a good mixed for when you go
to bed at night because it doesn't breathe. Okay, if
you're using wool, wool breathes as well, and it's a
natural product. The content of the dove, the googe down.
They can be in long channels which you have to

(01:35:54):
shake them up every now and again to get them
back into place, or you can also get them in
squares where they stay in place.

Speaker 4 (01:36:03):
Very good, Gary, thanks very much for that. Twelve to eleven.
It looks like the Iranians have driven back ships through
the straight offor moves. So that's that's the latest for
you on that one. Grant, It's Marcus good Evening. Oh,
welcome Grant. Hello, Hi, it's Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 15 (01:36:19):
How are you.

Speaker 4 (01:36:20):
Did you fly on Spirit? Did you?

Speaker 11 (01:36:23):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (01:36:23):
I flew there before COVID Wow, from Denver to Nashville. Yeah,
it was only like thirty five dollars U less.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
And did you pay for everything else like your bag
and to print the ticket and everything else?

Speaker 12 (01:36:36):
Well, I travel only travel with carry on, so but yes,
you do have to pay for your bag, but so
get Star charges are that you're in charges of that.
So I just had carry on and they didn't even
measure our luggage off flying United in the States and
they measure your luggage to make sure that that it
can come on board and otherwise all the other airlines

(01:36:57):
charge you as well.

Speaker 4 (01:36:59):
It's sort of got the reputation has been the budget
of the budget. Was there anything that was great, but
it feel like it was really really, really really budget.

Speaker 12 (01:37:08):
It just felt like any other budget airlines. Just get Star.

Speaker 8 (01:37:12):
It was fine.

Speaker 12 (01:37:13):
Yeah, we thought we'd fly them again if we ever
went back to the States.

Speaker 4 (01:37:17):
Well, it seemed to be an airline that was loved
despite being really budget, but because it kind of I.

Speaker 12 (01:37:22):
Think it also they weren't up Yeah, sorry, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:37:26):
It also flines. It flies a lot of routes and
other airlines like unconventional routes, which is I guess how
you make your market is a budget airline.

Speaker 12 (01:37:33):
Yeah, well, the other airlines always fly through their hubs.
So if you fly Delta, you've got to go to Georgia. Yeah,
like I don't know, I can't remember where United's hub was,
but yeah, yeah, we we just looked online and found
Spirit and it was like thirty five dollars each. And yeah,
it was great that the service was good. I mean

(01:37:53):
it was just a seat and a bottle of water.

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
The water's four dollars fifty though, is it? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:37:59):
I wasn't when I was there.

Speaker 4 (01:38:00):
Okayge Yeah, they said that they're paying charging four to
fifty for a bottle of water. But I guess that's
where you're making your money.

Speaker 12 (01:38:06):
Yeah, I don't know how they make money two dollars
for a seat.

Speaker 4 (01:38:10):
Well, I guess they have it. I guess now they've got.

Speaker 12 (01:38:12):
Some time ago through.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Yeah, as I said before.

Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
Cad Hey just out of interest. Grant Denver to Nashville?
Is it and is it a hundred a thousand? K's
probably don't know, do you.

Speaker 12 (01:38:22):
I can't remember. We were driving part of the way
and then we drove from La to Colorado and then
flew from Denver to Nashville. I think it might have
been now. It wasn't long.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
It's just like Aukland Wellington. That's dirt cheap and at
for thirty five it's it's eleven hundred miles. So it's
twice that. It's about you. Yes, it's like, okay, brilliant,
it great. They were good good only Grant appreciate that.
Thanks very much. There we go, someone has fluent spirit.
That's a long drive because you go right through you

(01:38:56):
go Grant, you go right through Kansas and Missouri.

Speaker 12 (01:38:59):
Yeah, probably not much to see there.

Speaker 4 (01:39:02):
No, And I think people said the real joy for
that was very very good with last minute. Was it full? No,
like hardly you were not hardly anyone on it.

Speaker 21 (01:39:11):
No, there was, it was.

Speaker 11 (01:39:12):
It wasn't.

Speaker 12 (01:39:12):
It wasn't like every seat taken, but it was ain't
three quarters full.

Speaker 4 (01:39:18):
Okay, nice to hear from your Grant.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:39:20):
Five to eleven. My name is Marcus welcome, welcome, O
wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty nineteen nine to text
you want to come through hitdle midnight tonight. Anything goes
hit till twelve. There's nothing better than get into a
nice cool bed over a cooling under blanket for summer.
But wish it took off a few more degrees. Marcus,
all those people raving about duck duvets clear and ever
experienced in an alpaca duvet Marcus muscle Matt's same as

(01:39:44):
cluster puffs. He's another thing to discuss. I have a
grounding she on my bed with two e's. I'm scared
to Google that it's got a she. I think it's
a grounding sheet. That's why I was concerned. A Grounding
sheets are conductive bed linens woven with silver or carbon fibers,
designed to connect your body to the Earth's natural electronic

(01:40:05):
charge while sleeping. For goodness sake, sounds fantastic. How do
I get by all those years without a grounding sheet?
It's the discussion tonight. We've gone from crumpets to grounding sheets.
I'm looking at the straight of horn mooze. The US
officials have denied those reports fog of war because the

(01:40:26):
semi official rating news agency says like a vessel was
hit by two missiles, so the straight and violation of
traffic and shipping security. So I'm still waiting for that
to be verified, waiting for confirmation from the White House.
No word what ship it is yet either either, So
I wait for confirmation there for that one. And if

(01:40:48):
you want to be in touch, if you want to
join the discussion tonight, I'm getting ready for the hour
of power of the Friday free for all nice day
tomorrow forecast, which I'm excited about, and get a lot done.
It's my plan.

Speaker 11 (01:40:59):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
Just make sure there's any more verification that can't see
that just yet. That gondola plan for Queen's town's pretty
fair if you see all those houses they want to
put up there, like thirteen hundred units in fern Hill.
It's a good video if you want to go and
click on that. But jeep is you're not going to
get that across the line. I wouldn't think, oh, well, yeah,
what's the future for Queenstown. Eh, cheap as gondolas, sorts

(01:41:25):
of stuff. Welcome all here until twelve tonight. I embrace
your calls and anything else sounded a bit lame. There
seven past eleven, Hello Colin as Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:41:39):
Yeah, Hi Marcus, I've got something a little bit more
lighter than it. Sounds like you're getting a little bit
heavy on the calls and serious about what to have
on your bed or not. But anyway, I got married
in nineteen seventy one down in a place called Mata

(01:41:59):
and you know where that it was done there?

Speaker 4 (01:42:01):
Did you get married? Actually had your wedding in there
at Matera?

Speaker 9 (01:42:05):
Yep, we had that. We had the hoot Nanny at Charleston,
and we spent the night at Gordon Launch and the
following morning I must have been pretty fuzzy from the
celebrations of kiss. I went downstairs and I says to them, Oh,

(01:42:27):
I've got to use I need a phone. I've got
to I've got to ring the mate to pick me
up because we were going through to Queenstown, you see,
in the bus and to finish off the honeymoon. And
she said to me, mister s there's a phone right
next door to the right, right next to your bed.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:42:49):
We went we went through to Queenstown and we picked
on a motel there and in those days you could
imagine that that's sort of pretty bear sort of motel.
And I thought I'd make the room, give the room
a bit of ambience, you know. I took my shirt
off and it was a synthetic shirt, and I put

(01:43:13):
that over the lamp.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
Yeah moment.

Speaker 9 (01:43:20):
What year we talking seventy one?

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
Anyway? Yep, anyway, mum.

Speaker 9 (01:43:27):
So anyway, a wee while later we could I could
smell this burning, you know, smoking that. I went, I
had a look across and quickly grabbed my shirt and
there was a massive hole of the length had got
hot and it burned a hole right through my shit.

Speaker 4 (01:43:47):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:43:48):
Yeah, so that was my experience. At bedtime, I was
excited about you.

Speaker 4 (01:43:54):
Did you get a road services bus from gor to Queenstown?

Speaker 9 (01:43:58):
I can't remember, it probably was. Yeah, i'd had been
a naughty boy and before I got married and I
lost my license for a week while. So I sold
my car and hmmm, and we made our way up
back up to the North Island on the bus Yep,
we've got to buff through those days. Yet the fairy

(01:44:19):
went to Littleton. Yeah, so we went through here from
Queenstown through to Littleton.

Speaker 4 (01:44:26):
Sounds like a very memorable honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 9 (01:44:30):
It was a wee bit expensive because I was quite
glad that my mate had driven my car through to
christ Church and got sold, so because it was a
bit expensive even back then. And going to Queenstown.

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
You said you got you said you got married in Charleston.
Is it a suburb?

Speaker 9 (01:44:46):
Charleston's are just south of Gore, but we actually got
married in Mata.

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. It's sort of hard to see
Charlston on a map. Oh right, it must be a
tiny just just a tiny little Oh yeah, I can
see where you are Charlton. Yeah, okay, on the right, Yeah,
that's where the racecourse. This isn't it? That's near there?

Speaker 13 (01:45:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:45:09):
Sure, sure, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:45:11):
Does a shot? Was a shirt savable? No good on
your column. Thank you. I live and live in Willard's
Marcus Good evening. Hello, Hi, hi, will welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:45:29):
Oh thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
Now you've got a story about Spirit Airline, have you?

Speaker 11 (01:45:34):
Oh just a bit. I'm I'm embarking, by the way,
and uh, I just thought I should put that out
there to prefers why this story makes sense and my
spirit has failed. So I've troubled to read the US

(01:45:56):
comptless times and one occasion I'll do Spirit for like
the shorter journeys like to Atlanta and I like that,
and a lot of the time like it's one of
those North fral airlines like you go to the UK
or Europe like easy Jets and stuff like that. But

(01:46:16):
this was more sort of gear towards I suppose, like
the majority of people in those flights where people I
would say, like myself, I'm Zimbabwe and I'm Black and
things like that. So then you have to look at
the situation. It catered to a whole bunch of people
like it was I suppose as a business, I think

(01:46:40):
it was viable. But then with the oil prices and
everything else, and you look at United for instance, like
I think it's in the process of getting a bailout
right now, We's already got one. And the difference obviously
the United caters for more clientele compared to the Spirit.

(01:47:03):
But Spirit had like he's dedicated I suppose uh customer base,
and it would get rowdy and in some urban movies
like it's referenced and big, crazy, crazy things happen on it,
and so I think it's a combination of several several things.

(01:47:26):
One the most like I'll say the most apparent one
is because the people that that that fly on Spirit
do not have much of a say in the corridos
that make decisions on who to get bailout United for instance.
Well it's a whole different issue, right, and it makes

(01:47:48):
more profit and it caters to a bigger market in
the US. So it's it's it's unfortunate for Spirit, Like
I certainly wouldn't like recommend Spirit as one of my
favorite airlines, like I was on it. It was for
I'd just say that way util in or whatever, like
I just needed to get through utilitarian, Yeah, yeah, I

(01:48:11):
just needed to get to a place. I got there
and I wasn't bodied, and like, yeah, like at least
twenty to thirty times I used it.

Speaker 21 (01:48:19):
And so.

Speaker 11 (01:48:22):
He just then brings it to the bigger picture of
like I suppose if you don't have access to those
corried thos, like you can never then I suppose like
the bailouts and stuff like, I can even go back
as far as like the the you know, the the

(01:48:42):
economy when they had to bail out the banks, which
banks got bails out, the bigger one. That's right, because
they had to say and things like that. So, yeah,
it's unfortunate for spirit.

Speaker 4 (01:48:53):
But every day, well, just to talk about more, have
you has there been a number of references and movies
and sitcoms about sitcoms about spiritier line, is that what
you're referring to?

Speaker 11 (01:49:06):
Well, in in sort of yeah, in sort of like
Black American culture, there is like it's it's sort of
like there is a running joke with that and me
being black obviously like I can fit into that and
and and sort of realize, Okay, okay, this is what

(01:49:27):
it is. And yeah, so they joke about it and like,
oh are we getting spirit and stuff? And in the
REP video, in the REP video, yeah, oh I.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
See some of the REP movies are on spirit. Okay, yeah,
I get it.

Speaker 11 (01:49:42):
Yeah, but like jokingly, I don't know if they're joking,
like you know, And so like, my my point really
was just to say, were it really catered to people
and demography of people, certainly people that are not as

(01:50:04):
well loft you compare let's say, a journey between where
can I think a fly from California to to what's
in the South? Who's that city? I paid with Spirit.

(01:50:25):
I paid I think about ninety six dollars, which United
I paid about two hundreds and something dollars to Atlanta.
Sorry to Atlanta. Yeah, and that's like about two years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:50:38):
Oh what were you doing so much flying for will.

Speaker 11 (01:50:43):
I'm a I'm a chef.

Speaker 4 (01:50:44):
Oh yeah, good, okay, Well yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:50:47):
And so I was just sort of that was just
after COVID, and so I was just sort of doing
private functions and stuff like that. Right now, I'm here
in lovely New Zealand And and by time picked up

(01:51:09):
on your show.

Speaker 4 (01:51:11):
Oh you're not you're not You're not a reason, you're
not living here, you're just visiting.

Speaker 11 (01:51:16):
No, actually, I've been here for three years. Great and
just discovered your show about thirty minutes ago.

Speaker 4 (01:51:26):
Let's quick turn around for us. It's good to get
someone listening and calling so so and that's important.

Speaker 11 (01:51:33):
Well, well I'm I'm forty five, right and from where
I'm from, radio really was the thing, like you would
get all your information, maybe what's a bit of Telly
for entertainment, and then listen to radio, listen to the
news and stuff, and then on a Friday you would
call into the radio to dedicated song to you're intended,

(01:51:58):
I suppose crash or something, and then don't play radio,
and you know, you say something like oh this is
from well to Amy, you know, and and stuff like that.
And then but I'm forty I'm forty five now. And
when I had you guys were talking about goosh down
and further down, and I thought, gosh, this is incredible. Yeah,

(01:52:21):
good old my kids, we're missing that. We really are
missing that. To be honest with you, that incredible. How
Like I was sitting in my car just now just
listen to you guys fucking and I thought, okay, let
me call in. So thank you so much. I don't
want to take much of your time, but.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
Lovely, lovely to talk to you.

Speaker 14 (01:52:42):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:52:42):
Welcome, thanks so much to eighteen past eleven Jamie Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:52:48):
Hey, here you go Marcus, Jamie.

Speaker 4 (01:52:50):
What's happening with you?

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:52:53):
Well, I had a month off work to your tom
of ousting your stuff so far for a whole month.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
And anger or in a moment of anger, or we
did you did you think about before you did it?

Speaker 9 (01:53:08):
Well?

Speaker 24 (01:53:09):
I was walking around the yard because we've been there
four months. I was walking around the yard and they
never gave me a uniform and the boss told me
I can't. You can't walk around the yard if had
a uniform. Then so I went home and found.

Speaker 8 (01:53:20):
A new job.

Speaker 4 (01:53:21):
Great, did it come bigging?

Speaker 24 (01:53:26):
No, no they don't.

Speaker 11 (01:53:27):
They don't do that.

Speaker 24 (01:53:28):
They probably should because there there's three thousand truck jobs
on seat truck driving interstate jobs. So but yeah, no,
no bosses in this industry over here come bigging. They'll
just tell you, oh, well, what do you want to
do after you go?

Speaker 4 (01:53:43):
There's three thousand jobs on seek for truck drivers in Australia.

Speaker 24 (01:53:50):
Yeah, interstate truck drivers.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
Yep.

Speaker 24 (01:53:52):
Wow, probably even more than that. Yeah, so and I'm
just ended up working back for an old boss. So
it was all right, it's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (01:54:00):
So if you had a month off you so you've
been working for a month now.

Speaker 24 (01:54:03):
They've had a month off on the on the farm fine,
and some fruit trees.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Yeah it was good.

Speaker 4 (01:54:08):
What'd you planned.

Speaker 24 (01:54:11):
When we got fijo? There's thirty two different sorts of
fruit trees? Poor poor plan of a poor pool the
other day? Yeah yeah, yees. So no chickens eating lots
of eggs.

Speaker 12 (01:54:24):
That's been good.

Speaker 4 (01:54:25):
And so when so have you got a full time
job going back with your old boss.

Speaker 24 (01:54:31):
Yeah, so I won't say the company, but three years
ago they fired me for driving infringement and the meeting
didn't go very well.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
Anyway.

Speaker 24 (01:54:41):
When I got made redundant at my last company, that
the boss the like state manager or what have you
got to call him. Yeah, he was like the CEO.
I guess you'd say he became he took the guy's
job of the guy who fired me. So then he
rung me up and was like, do you want your
job back? And I was like, oh, not really. But
then two months later I rung him back and I said, yeah,

(01:55:03):
I'll take you up on that offer.

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
And when you go from job to job and truck driving,
do you negotiate more of a wage or is it
dictated just by the conditions and the union.

Speaker 24 (01:55:14):
Yeah, so it's pretty much just basically they just pay
the award rate, like you know, or maybe a little
bit above the award. But the companies just tell you
this is what we pay, and you just go, yeah,
I'll work for you for that, or I won't. I'm
pretty fussy. So it's got to be in a very
upper level of it. But a lot of companies don't

(01:55:37):
pay the award. So if you work for a joint
that is paying the award and they're paying one hundred
percent properly, it ends up being really good money because
but you go to a job interview and they tell
you on paper they pay the award, but there's so
many different little things to the award that they're not
So once you do the maths, you're like, no, that's
crap money. I'm not working for that. Yeah yeah, yeah,

(01:56:02):
Well it's been good.

Speaker 4 (01:56:03):
So what's your next job going to? What's it doing?

Speaker 24 (01:56:07):
Just moving recycling again.

Speaker 4 (01:56:10):
So you're going you're going Brisbane, Melbourne.

Speaker 24 (01:56:14):
Yeah, well I'll be doing yeah Brisbane, maybe into Sydney
or into Melbourne, then over to Adelaide and then home
back to Brisbane. That will be the loops for the week.

Speaker 4 (01:56:27):
So there'll before there'll be how many driving, how many
drives would be that would be how many days driving?

Speaker 24 (01:56:36):
That would be like pretty much full full five days.

Speaker 4 (01:56:40):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds great.

Speaker 24 (01:56:42):
Yeah, yes, that's a bit a bit of a loop.
So that's why I dangled the care and that sounds
like a good run.

Speaker 4 (01:56:48):
So is it a bit a condition? Then when you
did that same job before.

Speaker 15 (01:56:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:56:52):
Yeah, they've got rid of all of the management and
they have yeah, and they've really hired a whole lot
of new managers. And my mate, I guess you'd say,
my mate, he's yeah, sort of taken over overseeing it all.

Speaker 4 (01:57:06):
So jee you might be hitting managed pretty you might
be hitting for management yourself.

Speaker 22 (01:57:13):
Ah.

Speaker 24 (01:57:14):
I don't think they probably had more money than nay. Yeah,
It's just funny how life works. One minute you're the
biggest whatever you want to call it, and the next
minute they want your skills again.

Speaker 4 (01:57:26):
Yeah that's right, that's right, and I know want the listeners there.
How the kids, How are the kids for the end
of their schools?

Speaker 21 (01:57:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
Yeah, real good.

Speaker 15 (01:57:34):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 24 (01:57:34):
Yeah, super good. Yeah, they're enjoying the country lost. It's
been a year now, sir.

Speaker 4 (01:57:40):
What's the name of your town.

Speaker 21 (01:57:41):
You're in.

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
Nanango?

Speaker 4 (01:57:44):
An Ango? Good update, Jamie, thank you for that. There
we go twenty seven to twelve Nnango. Oh god, a
lot of truck driving jobs there. Goodness. Hello, Wendy, it smartus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:57:58):
Hello Marcus. My granddaughter's got really bad esma. So one
day I thought, oh, I'll get her nice duck down
pillow be nice and soft for her. Well, her face
flared up, and it was about three weeks later. My
daughter said, Oh, I think it's that pillow you got her, mum.

(01:58:22):
So we took the pillow away and the face came
back all right. Well, yeah, so that was my go
being kind to my granddaughter. She was only about eight. Yeah,
and she never used to get exit on face.

Speaker 4 (01:58:39):
Would have caused that.

Speaker 25 (01:58:40):
I don't know. It must have been something to do
with the feathers in the pillow that was reacting to her.

Speaker 4 (01:58:47):
So you don't really know it's added to the feathers either,
do you, And I kind of because I thought that
would have been quite a successful outcome.

Speaker 25 (01:58:54):
Well that's what we thought. But then all of a
sudden her face started flearing up, and my daughter said, Mom,
I think the only thing I can put it down
to him there is it might be that hello you
gave her. So she took the pillow away from her
and her face never fleared up again.

Speaker 4 (01:59:12):
Oh, I guess it's a good act. And how's the
rest of her expa going? Is it all right?

Speaker 10 (01:59:16):
Yes?

Speaker 25 (01:59:17):
Oh no, she still watches in the thirties now and
still being it's all through her body.

Speaker 4 (01:59:23):
Gosh, it's a it's a trial, that, isn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:59:26):
Yes, so I thought I was doing the nice thing,
buying this expensive pillow from my granddaughter, but it made
it worse.

Speaker 4 (01:59:35):
Did you keep it yourself?

Speaker 25 (01:59:37):
No, I've a daughter used to.

Speaker 4 (01:59:39):
Good idea, Wendy nice to hear from me. Think of
that fourteen to twelve. If you want to add to this,
if you've been to Split Ends, if you've got any crumpet,
if you've tried crumpet, as we've been talking out with Bone,
Marrow and BlackBerry, I reckon that sounds pretty good. I
don't know why they don't have a challenge on Master

(01:59:59):
Chef when they've just got a cook something that AI
suggests it would be quite good. Although I've never really
watched that, I see one of the chefs they're thinking
about not playing some of the episodes because of one
of the guys that seems to be in a bit
of bother on Master Chef. Seems that they I shouldn't generalize,
but it seems those chefs are prone to well, I
don't know what it is. It's prone to seems to

(02:00:20):
be not stressful. But yeah, this is all about that
restaurant in Queenstown, Marcus. I don't have a form of
a Christie, so just an extra blank I like an
extra blanket. It's important to know, and any other news

(02:00:42):
for around the world I bring to I just have
a look at the New York Times are the same
with that situation where a straightahorn moves. I think the
big news when's the Met Gala?

Speaker 2 (02:00:51):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (02:00:52):
Is that something you can tell me about? Has it been?
But I think it's been, so the Met Gala, I
know a bit about the Met Gala. Oil's ump by
the way, so the Met Gala?

Speaker 9 (02:01:12):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:01:15):
The Met Gala. Kim Kandeshian borrowed Marilyn Monroe's dress have
I got that right with all the diamonds on, and
it caused a great deal of fuss because the dress
was damaged. Remarkable looking dress now and I think she

(02:01:36):
was upset with the blowback she got at the right
word for damaging the dress. People thought she was irresponsible
in a fashion recoronception, she wore the Happy Present, Happy
Birthday mister President's gown and it sparked debate over fashion conservation.
It was one with all the diamonds. Dress is owned
by Ripley's believe it or not, believe that or not

(02:01:58):
and worth ten million dollars and was damaged. So that
was Kim Kadeshian at the twenty twenty two Metgala. Well,
the met Gala is tomorrow and she is going to
wear because she has purchased it. She has purchased Lady
Diana Spencer's Revenge dress. Now this is all new territory

(02:02:23):
for me. Although I'm not embarrassed that I know about
this stuff. And the Revenge dress that you will know
and I'll I'll describe it to you. The Revenge dress

(02:02:44):
was worn the same evening that Prince Charles confessed to
the world that he be unfaithful to Diana in their marriage.
And the dress and I'm going to try and describe
it to you, and I'm not good at this. It
had a train along but out the back was a

(02:03:06):
sh short dress mid thigh length, but the top was
almost like the sleeves h And it's too hard for
me to describe. I might get Ai to do it.
Could you get Ai? Could you get Chet gpt Dan too,
because that might get me out of the show. Could
you get me to explain the style of the dress

(02:03:28):
because comic I find it hard to describe how that
the neckline because it's not really a neckline as such
that you know, it seems like it's a anyway, don't
be surprised if Kim Kadeshion wears that tomorrow and that's
the big news. I'm where I pick it up somewhere
on my readings today. So yes, it seems that she's

(02:03:49):
purchased that, but I can't because you're I don't want
you to go. And I think she wore it with
distinctive jewelry. Oh, she had a choker, and I think
in the wax works it's her and that she wears that.
It's always the iconic where as they go to with

(02:04:09):
and when I say a choker, it's like a number
of streck Could you get to describe the choker too.
It's a number of pearls, fine pearls with a brooch.
The dress designed by Christina S. Dambolian shadow in the

(02:04:31):
dress for three years, but previously deemed it too daring
for a royal A form fitting off the shoulder back,
black slip crape cocktail. Well, it's off both shoulders, features
an asymmetrically hemline and a flowing chiff on train. I
got that, but the flood in the breeze as she walked.
She paired it with black tight silk Manolo Blanic heels

(02:04:52):
and a signature seven string pearl choker with a large
sapphire centerpiece. Originally approach give it an either queen mother,
I've done quite well with that White's legendary. They would
have Bloke broken the Internet of the end. It was
a thing that color black was typically reserved for morning,
and the cut the little black dress was zipsy short
and revealing for a princess of that error. So anyway,

(02:05:15):
Kim Kadasha will be wearing that tomorrow. That's the speculation.
You probably bet on it on one of those betting websites,
and that was a better segue than I thought. It
features a deep, plunging sweetheart neckline that sits completely off
the shoulders plural that draws the eye immediately to the

(02:05:38):
collar bone and shoulders. Yes, and the mid section is
heavily rooshed. I think we've got that one pretty well
worked out now with a Chiffon train and the power accessories.
There you go, Thanks Dan, that was really important. Andrew

(02:06:00):
has emailed Marcus on eleventh of March, Foreign Minister Winston
Peters interviewed and said, be cool, be the war will
be over soon. How wrong he was to make the prediction. Now,
Tilly nearly two months later, well, I think a lot
of people got that one wrong. It'll be forever war

(02:06:20):
and I wonder if they're really great thing as it
means the world will now pivot away from fossil fuels.
Is this the war that saves the planet.

Speaker 15 (02:06:29):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:06:29):
Yeah, I've said that and it's probably true.
