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):
Eight o wait state. Welcome Marcus till twelve right through
to the end of what is Thursday on the Thursday,
Free for all. Hope the night's finding you well dark gosh,
that happened early, didn't it. Anyway, Welcoming with you till
twelve o'clock tonight, so hopefully we'll learn something and have
a laugh. And if we don't do that, I've failed.

(00:35):
I take that seriously. I just there's not a lot
happening tonight. It's just I mean, there's a ran which
is a lot happening. But I'll keep your cross all
of that. What I can tell you though, is that
I don't even know where it goes in a talkback frame,
but I'm just gonna land on the line. I love

(00:58):
trade Me. I've always had a love for trade Me.
It's probably the website I go to most often. Don't
know why Marketplace. I hate everything about it. The layout.
Having asked the questions, it is still available. That sketchiness,
the thing you can't pay the fit You've got to
go around and pick them up because most of the
stuff doesn't actually sell them bluff. You know. I'm a

(01:19):
guy that likes to buy it. And the courier comes around,
there's a knock on the door and they've got something.
I love that love everything about trade Me. I love
the way it's pecked. I love One time I bought something,
I sent me six beers with it, like from a
craft brewery for cheapers, so I gave them to the
delivery man. Well was that, I think what I bought anyway,
So yes, I love trade Me. But what has happened

(01:41):
in the last couple of years. I don't care who
owns it. You know, David Kirk bought it and then
they send it to the fun group in England and
yady yady, I still said, his old young little gather
boy running it. But anyway, the last couple of years,
the listings have really dropped off, and obviously it's because
of Marketplace. And I'm not a seller. I don't sell anything.

(02:03):
Sometimes Vnest will sell things and not have told me
I've sold it, but that's I'm just a buyer, so
I don't get I don't have all that murkiness when
I've had to buy something and I've had to sell
something and pay a commission. So yeah, I've never even
worked out how the finances work. But anyway, there's been
big announcements today. I haven't consumed all the details of

(02:26):
the announcements, but trade me is back. It's got better again.
And what seems to be happening is beforehand, if you
sold stuff, you had to pay a commission. Now the
buyer pays. That's fair. That's like an auction in it. Yeah,
the hammer fifty percent under the hammer, So that's fine.
I'm happy to do that. And also for all sales

(02:47):
you can just click ping, because the hassle for me
for trade me, right is I buy something that I
don't really need. Although I'm not a hoarder, but there's
specific things I buy and if there's no ping, I
don't do phone banking, so I've got to say to Vanessa,
h can you pay this? And normally I've waited four

(03:10):
or five days before I've got the conversation around and say, oh,
could you pay for this? And by that stage I'm
getting angry emails and I'm getting bad feedback. So even
though I say I love trade me for me, it's
always a very stress Yeah, that paying is stressful. So
now you just push pay and it's paid. I can't

(03:31):
believe that. I'm so excited about that. So anyway, so
trade me is back, and I hope it's going to
get more listening and hopefully it's going to be very
marketplace because I hate marketplace. But it's always hard to
put out where you live and put that big circle
around it looks like a radiation shadow because you know,
I can only put it in bluff and only goes
as far as just out of christ Church. So if

(03:51):
I'm looking for things like trampolines for the kids and
only go as far as sort of ring your and
it's not where the great trampolines are, or say, and
then you say you live somewhere else. But anyway, so
the good news is that trade me is back, and
hopefully that works for them. I don't know how trade
makes their money, but you know it was worth a
billion dollars was it when it's sold twenty years ago?
But what I presume is there's lot of advertisements around

(04:14):
things too. But anyway, they are back. I just buy
secondhand stuff, that's what I'm about, and love it. I'd
probably spend twenty minutes a day on it. It would
be the website I go to the most often. So
there we go. Where is the talk back in this, Well,
I don't know. Actually, I'm just happy that if anyone
who's got the I guess I sound old fashioned saying

(04:36):
I'm into trade me because most of you probably moved
on to Temu. I've only been on Timmy once and
every time I type in things now I get the
stupid spinning clock thing drives me crazy. Anyway, So trade
me is back, and I'm really excited about that. So
if you are someone that's feeling the love for the
fact that they're back, let me know about that and
what your relationship with trade me is. But what's happening

(04:59):
for me is slowly my because when I was when
my lifestyle was slightly looser, I did get some real
terrible feedback. But now I reckon, I'm mainly positive they
should have an amnesty also they get rid of your
bad feedback. That's would be my But they're going to
drop their success fee. Yes, so coustellas have been paying

(05:21):
seven point nine percent of the final sale price, so
that's gone. So casual stellers would be better off and
bank transfers will not be possible, and ping will be
offered on every listing alongside cash and after pay, and
this prediction of five this is a good thing. Ben,
do you think is? Are we excited about this? Are

(05:42):
you there? Ben?

Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know I look on with sort of about this.
So I just hope there's some more listings on trade me.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
That's exactly right, because my categories have died. There's half
the things I used to than what I'm used to.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
YE used to buy a lot of just household general
stuff and like car stuff than that, and there's just
nothing again. If you want something I love and crosses,
you have to get out of Auckland, and the shipping's
exped them. It's I saw the Cara then on the
last year. I think I must have paid about three
hundred bucks markers and the guy I never picked it up.

(06:16):
So I've applied to get the money back, got it back,
enlisted it on marketplace and sold them didn't pay us sins.
So I think I think it's yeah, they definitely got
to drop their prices.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
But how come the head Biscuits didn't realize it was
dying on the vine?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, I think it's been dying for about cod really, Yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I agreed because COVID should have been the golden age.
You trade me Evey when sitting at home buying stuff,
there was nothing else to do.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah, yeah, No, I was just shocked. You know, I'll
go on there and after stuff I used to buy,
I just wasn't on there anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I mean I disagree with everything
you say. What I love about I love the I
love the way things. I love the way people wrap things.
Not your care, you know, I mean, there's it always
strikes me as quick a Pattnate community.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Well, I just love the fact that you can buy
it and you don't really have to worry about getting scammed,
and if you do get scammed, they are very helpful
and they sorted out on your behalf and on me.
So it's yeah, I like that. I don't like Marketplace
because you've got no comeback to zoo.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, I hate it. What happened to your caravan guy?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Oh, I don't think he could come up with the money.
As you know, I sold it and I gave him
some bad feedback, but just the emails when unanswered, and
then he did email back and said he was having
trouble with the bank, and.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
The listen said, we don't need a caravan. She's gone
crooked and I reckon the last thing.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
We oh look look they given the post of hotels,
especially a wanker and that I reckon the caravans from
a handybb I tell the trouble was we didn't use
it enough.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'll tell you another something at topic alert. Have you
seen the price that these Australians are out charging for
camping ground sites.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, I've seen other news. I think it was up
to up to two hundred.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Bucks for and fifty bucks or something at uh just
south of Totong. It's unbelievable that this is for this
is for a beachside camp site.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah yeah, but that's the same every week. Like you know,
two years ago you could get a hotel in Queenstown
for you know, one hundred and eighty bucks in the night.
Now it's you know, a half decent ones going to
see your back about three point fifty.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's crazy. Got to move on, be nice to talk to.
Think I'll find an article about the campgrounds because you
that's something I hadn't thought about talking about. But yeah, wow,
stuff are all over it, so your key was getting
priced out of the whole. We were gonna end up
holiday now. So there's this pepper ma this campground. Actually yeah,
the no, this is this is for Corimandel for six

(09:04):
nights going camping. I quoted six hundred and eighteen dollars.
So I think a lot of these campgrounds have been
brought up by the Australians. But that's mental. That's the
way this is for campgrounds. One holiday maker was invoice
two and sixty two dollars for eight nights at a
waterfront site at par par Meer Holiday Camp. Its owner

(09:27):
says the park offered the finest accommodation of the beach.
This is just a piece of grass. They're not even
cleaning it or changing the sheets. There's nothing to do.
So yeah, I want to talk about campgrounds and trade me.
It's not good, it says the Parpameer Park is owned
by Australian company Tasman Holiday Parks. They use dynamic pricing,

(09:50):
of course they do. So it means when it's our
high use time they'll charge at king's ransom. So you
might want to talk about that and trade me. We
excited about the changes and trade me and we hate Marketplace?
Well I do, and I think we should carry that on.
I agree. I have always loved trade Me. I was
part of a webinar with them.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Today.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Lots of changes more favorable for casual sellers, so no
success fees for them, whoever fees for in trade sellers remains.
There will be a lot more listening to a result,
which is what they want, much more secure than Mark.
Well have they done this five years ago? Why would
they sleep at the wheel? I could have told them
that we're talkback shows on this four years ago that
people said the march is to Marketplace? Tim says Facebook

(10:34):
Marketplace is the place to go these days. It's a
place to go for your croc. It's not the place
to go for you and me because it's not good
people there. You've got to go around with envelopes of cash.
It's sketchy at someone else's house. Yes, I don't say
Facebook Marketplace is a place to beat Tim when I've
just said that's not Marcus, is it still available? Marketplace?
Hate it? Then? From why Kitty Kiddy Valley, Marcus, what

(10:58):
are you looking for? And trade me jousting sticks?

Speaker 7 (11:00):
How did you know.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's a that's a castle reference buying stuff on castle.
It was training. It was pre websites. It was the
training was the what were they buying the jousting sticks
on your Market's Marcus? Good evening?

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Hey Marcus here that Tasma And they've also bought out Miranda,
the hot springs there.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Oh wow have they bought They've actually bought the whole
of top ten. Oh they've brought Topol campground for fortune.
I think is that right? One of the Aussies brought them.

Speaker 8 (11:35):
Yeah, and also Coramandel. They've done a few on the
Coramndal as well. So they're just taking over because they've
gotten quite cheap.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
And it's weird the way camping grounds have gone because
they've a lot of them have put on like units
that they're charging as much as motels for. So the
whole thing's kind of changed to it, hasn't it.

Speaker 8 (11:58):
Yeah, In in Sidianga, they've got one there which is
like probably two acre section and you go over over
the Christmas break and it is just chopper and they
do have like the little units and they are they
are cheap. But yeah, the Ausies that they've seen the
market over here and they're going to rape it.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, And because I mean camping for most people unissue
really organized. It always involves people sort of buying tents
or sleeping, you know, not everyone's got the same stuff
every year. So it's sort of an expensive startup anyway,
And if you're paying prices like that for the actual site,
that seems crazy to me.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Yeah, because it was the cheap holiday, wasn't it first?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Absolutely? And it was it was a holiday for everyone
that even in a campground, you could get all people
from all sections of society mixing because everyone could afford it,
and it was good fun, you know. I think probably
culturally it was quite.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
Important, and it was just the initial outlay was expensive.
But after that, if you buy good stuff, yeah you've
got it.

Speaker 9 (13:03):
Years have you?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Have you stayed at the Miranda one?

Speaker 8 (13:07):
No, My physio was near the other weekend and I'd
go past there of going to Corimandel, And it has
got the Kasmen sign on it. Okay, So because the
three I think they might even have something to do
with why we're as well.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
You could be right there.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
Yeah, got something to do.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
With that, because the Russian guy had initially but he
didn't do anything with her.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Oh, I think I think he got cut loose the
oli gak. Hey, what are the hot pools like at Miranda?
They've always been a bit sketchy, have they, Or they've
always had a petchy history, have they?

Speaker 8 (13:44):
They've been empty for the last two years.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, we might check up on that.

Speaker 8 (13:49):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Thank you, just cutting in and out, but thank you
twenty two past ten. Be involved, be a part of it.
A lot of texts. I'll get to that. Love the texts,
a lot of texts. Campgrounds and trade me brilliant, keeping
it real eight eight, eight hundred and eighty. Now with
the joustings and the castle, where was the guy getting

(14:10):
all this stuff? He was just watching? I think it
was like trade and Exchange. I don't know if it
was called that. Someone better fact check me on that.
A couple of things I need to tell you urgently
are on the castle the movie. The jousting sticks were
being brought from trading post. That was their version of
the trade and exchange telling me he's dreaming. The other

(14:31):
thing I need to tell you, and this is about
a scam for people using trade me and marketplace. What
people are doing is they're buying goods and when they
receive the goods, they take a photo of the goods.
Then they get AI chat GPT to put a crack
in the goods. Yeah, so if you brought like a

(14:53):
Toby jug, they'll put a crack in it through AI
and then you send that back and say, hey, it's broken,
there's a crack in it. Fidget spinner. How good's that?
So what you got to do then, what I'm reading
on an eBay group, what you got to do then
is always have the buyer ship the item back. Then
they've been troubling, they have to smash it for good,

(15:13):
or requests of several different photos of the damage, because
AI usually is difficult producing consistent damage. So if you
if someone's back to you and we'll talk about trade
me scams as well, or at marketplace, if someone said
it's broken, it'll just be AI adding cracks to it.
I'm not ready for this world. Ah, it's too sifty,

(15:34):
So yeah, what do you think about that? So online
trading scams, Marcus, whatever happened to Orange or that another flow?
I can't even remember it. St is the best. You
get instant refunds, best customer service ever. Trade me has
no customer service to speak off. I quit it, Marcus.
I looked at booking a cabin in the Papa Moa
holiday camp. It was one thousand dollars per night, Fudge.

(15:59):
We should boycott them. That's awful, isn't it. It's Papa Moa.
I mean, that's not a holiday you just it's you
couldn't go anywhere, You'd be stuck in traffic, Marcus. Facebook
Marketplace is full of scammers. They are relentless, So be
careful people. I got done for one fidty is a
deposit on a motorbike still annoys me. Chairs d I

(16:19):
love Marketplace and Tim, who never had a problem with
both of them, always had successful deals and be with
them since they began. Chris I'll smug old Chris doc
now charged thirty six a night for two people, no facilities,
just a smilly long drop. Love Marketplace, Facebook, do everything
I can to avoid trade me these days. I agree, Marcus.

(16:40):
Have always loved trade Me. I was part of a webinar.
I've done that anyway. Lines there free where I talk about.
We've got millions of topics. It's trade me. It's camping
grounds and online trading scams. The only times I've been
scammed on trade. Me is when I've bought things and
when they've arrived, they've been much much smaller than I thought,
like miniatures, and that's never good. That gives you a
little bit of a frightening on me. That was stupid us.

(17:01):
I hide it beforeveryone finds out. Johnny, it's Marcus. Good
evening and welcome, good evening.

Speaker 10 (17:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (17:08):
I was just listening, just tuned in, and I heard
that thousand dollars a night at Papa Moha at the
motor camp. I thought, my goodness, I've got a little
motor home here. It's twelve meters long, and I've just
spent the last years sort of getting it all up

(17:28):
to scratch and certified and looking pretty. And it's called
the Sea Dragon. It's purple and green. It's been all
over the country as a bus, but I've refitted it
and we've got the water just about a couple of
hundred meters away from us in the Freedom camping spot.

(17:49):
I towed it down there because I had a little
bit of a problem on the way driving and had
to take the drive shaft off, and anyway, I towed
it down there and fixed it and I got asked
if someone could stay the night in it.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Wow, so you're taking it to the Freedom Camping spot
to fix it and someone's trying to rent it.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (18:07):
I was on my way down to the park and
the brake stemmed on and it's got a hydraulic break
and yeah, so and my place is just all hills
and I've got a truckle a crane up the driveway
and put some pieces in the way, so there's no
way to fix it. So yeah, I got the local
Row Motors company to come and tow me down to
the flat spot down there by the Freedom Camping and

(18:30):
susted out over the afternoon. And while I was there,
the young couple came up and asked if they could
stay in it. And I thought, you know what, that
would actually be quite a good thing. I could use
my bus while I'm not using it and make a
little bit of an un off.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
And I think they're our websites for that, to rent
out your camp evans and stuff. I think people are
doing that.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
Yeah, I know there's ones where you can pick them
up and drive them and deliver them and someone like that.
But yeah, I suppose someone's already thought of this and
created a business. But yeah, I'm quite proud of my
little humble motor home. It's it's not flash, it's very
keen styles. It's it's been finished with the timber from
the local sawmill and just giving a bit of polyurethane

(19:14):
on top. Nothing too flash, but it's all brand new.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
So yeah, it does it work well? That freedom camping
spot near your place.

Speaker 11 (19:26):
Yeah, you get people coming in different sized vehicles. Nothing
as big as this pass of course, but yeah, it's
it's a great little spot.

Speaker 9 (19:34):
You can launch the.

Speaker 11 (19:35):
Boat from you and there it's it's.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Is there a night? Is there a two night limit?

Speaker 11 (19:40):
Yeah, I think there's a limit down there, but people
sort have come, they stay for a night or two
and they're gone and there's there's no rubbish. It's it's
very clean. And yeah it's it's really well respected and
looked after and quiet. There's no parties. It's it's always
really nice, so beautiful sunsets there and yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Where are you thinking the head off on the dragon.

Speaker 11 (20:01):
Well, I've been down to Wymana and in the Bay
of Plenty each Kimn and places like that, and I'm
thinking maybe going to pick a wine and staying here
and doing some fishing just off the beach instead of
out in the little fiberglass boat. So that's my plan.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Good to hear from you, Johnny, and nice to hear
from you. Thank you for that twenty six away from
nine lines free. If you want to get involved where
we're celebrating trade me coming back, Marcus. The thing I
miss most about trade me is the message boards. What
happened to those? Yeah, well they like to give talk
back a bit of a discussion on those me. I
went had a look once, but boy, they were just
sort of stuff to say. They took very extreme points

(20:43):
of view quite quickly, Marcus. Marketplace has a lot better
day deals. Trade me as a rip off. It's coming back.
Watch this space. Only idiots paid a positive marketplace. If
you pay for delivery, the risk is all yours. You're
so sketchy. And I don't like Zuckerberg. Don't like anything
about don't like those his thick framed glasses he wears.

(21:04):
I don't like the fact he's moved to my me.
He no, yeah, I shouldn't be unkind, but he does
seem reptilian. Although I like for you, I quite like Facebook,
then no, so I don't even know what I'm talking
about a lot of the time anyhow, trade me and
camp grounds. It's the discussion so far tonight. I think
the government has got a report on the social media
band for under sixteen. Yeah, they will prevaricate about that

(21:29):
because I don't think there's votes will make. Are they
votes in it? Probably, but you'd also lose votes. I
think they'll probably try and bob each way that one.
It would be my gut feeling on that. But look,
do come through if you want to talk about this
or anything else tonight. Oh news news news news with
the war sigh. I'll keep you updated with that tonight. People. Oh,

(21:54):
so people are leaving Dubai and paying a lot of
money one hundred thousand pounds to get out of Dubai
and they are facing jail by the social media police.
So that seems to be I think a lot of
people have gone, a lot of Brits have gone to
do By and have been very smug about how great
the lifestyle is, and now they're having to leave because

(22:15):
it's dangerous and the chickens have come home to roost.
I think that's the situation there.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
This is just through the IRGC, Iranian Republic Guard, Iranian
Republic Guards C would be Oh, that's the Iranian Revolutionary
Guard is claiming it's hit the US tanker in the
Northern Gulf. So yet again another escalation. I mean, yesterday

(22:43):
the American sunka Iranian tanker that was having exercises with India,
I think, which seemed to be an appropriate thing to do.
But yeah, so and then I think I heard sort
of today that the Iranians were bombing the Kurds in Iraq,
which just seemed to be a plan to to stabilize
the whole region. But look, if the thing happening will

(23:06):
keep you updated about that. The latest I've got to
Israel launches fresh strikes on Tehran. Iran claims to have
targeted Turkish Kurdish groups in Iraq. Now I don't know
what the point is of that, but there will be
a reason, and Heskeith has told Israel Defense Minister to
continue to the end as far as the Kurds go. Oh,

(23:32):
I see, because the United States was looking to arm
the Kurdish Melissa's militias to infiltrate Iran, so it gets
revery sketchies every quickly. So there's all different sort of
regional groups and factions of different faiths that I mean,
that is an American playbook, isn't it? To arm the
insurgencies never works out well when you look about when

(23:53):
America we're sorry when Russia invade Afghanistan and then they
funded the mid Yahideen and all that, and then that
turned around. Anyway, can't wait for one hundred years till
the history of the Middle Eat gets written, or then
even then it might still be ongoing. Twenty three to
nine lines. The freedom might be something else you want
to talk about, but we are celebrating the fact that
trade me's got back to sensible. We talk about the

(24:14):
social media band for the under sixteens and also too
campy grounds. Dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing is like for you
know what dynamic pricing as, don't you people. It's like
when ubers they charge a fortune on New Year's Eve
because a lot more people are wanting the product, and
it feels to me to really be the devil's pricing.

(24:36):
But that's what aith. There's algorithms people. Twenty one to nine.
It is nineteen to nine.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
Andy, good evening, Hello, Marcus, just back from New Plymouth
in my motor caravan stayed at the Fitzroy Caravan Park
right on the beach.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
Wonderful site. Everyone's very happy. Everyone was there for the
American Cars Americana weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday where there
was perfect swimming on the beach. And I must say
Fitzroy Park, caravan park, clean toilets, clean showers, checked three

(25:17):
times a day and everyone very happy. So I'll be
back again in the summer.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
I can vouch that a very good campground.

Speaker 10 (25:27):
Yes, it is very good.

Speaker 8 (25:30):
The people.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you have an American people? Do you have an
American car? Yes?

Speaker 10 (25:34):
No, no, no, no, just watching watching the Friday night
up and down the street in Devon street cars going
up and down and all the old cars were just
a wonderful sight.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
Really was yep.

Speaker 10 (25:49):
So back again and recommend Fitzroy.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Where did you Where did you traveled from.

Speaker 10 (25:55):
Auckland, Nor Sure? I'm a north Shore boy.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
How's the old how's the tunnel looking?

Speaker 10 (26:05):
I don't think so.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
I hope.

Speaker 10 (26:07):
Think it'll be a few more years before job.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's a big job, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (26:11):
Years before they even make a decision? I think, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Was talking about the tunnel, of about messing you're not
the tunnel to the shore. But yeah, I should have
made myself clearer. He wouldn't be swimming on the beach.
You'd be swimming in the sea, wouldn't he. But that
was I thought that sounds a bit wrong. Yeah, I
mean I won't. I won't talk about my camera grounds
now because I mean, you don't want the Australians to
buy them and get into sage pricing. That means spirited

(26:40):
for those that don't know, I don't really know what
Americana is. I think a lot of cars, American cars
go to Taranaki and they go through all the different towns.
They drive through the different towns, and people in the
little towns go beside the road to watch the cars
go by. I think that's what it is, as simple
as that.

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
I don't know how that interesting that would be. But people,
but car people love cars, don't they. If you're a
car person, you do anything to go, Oh look at her,
They look at the shine on it. They go pack
them all a car parke. Oh gery, look at that.
It's not my jam. But you know, I try not
to be judgmental Fitzroy campground only good because no one

(27:21):
blebs about it like you two do. I don't think
we're blabbing. And this is my job, literally, is to
talk about stuff. What am I going to say? Oh,
we can't talk about Fitzroy marketplace is the stolen goods
market and often they want to meet you in dodgy
places like empty car parks. It feels like there's a
sniper on the rooftops. Trade me has been and more
sensible people who are more honest about the conditions of

(27:42):
the items. Samantha, Ye, but what about when people get
the item and they get AI to put a crack
in it? That's sketchy as hey, that's a brilliant prank though,
isn't it. It's broken home Marker's cheapest and best holiday
park and us in a Morarchy Village holiday park and
Morarchy you can only book directly over the phone or
on the website. No booking sites forty five per night

(28:04):
for ten or caravans site all your no extra price
of a high great, friendly, loving, laid back, family owned park.
I'm good to get a shout out for Monarchy and
you can do that great shot where you actually like
berthing from the boulders, the one with a crack in it.
We've all done it. We're all proud of having done it.

(28:24):
Or sometimes I wonder why didn't make more of a
thing about monarchy. Boulders always good, always people there probably
do make a thing about it. What fruits should go on?
Pavlov passion fruit key with fruit. I just like raspberries.
I did a pavlover well, just a thing of raspberries delicious,
and she was sort of at a party and I thought, oh,
I think we had a left Chris, I'll do a pavlova.

(28:47):
And it was sort of a I got to the
party of oh, you know, I could be made with
whipping the cream and stuff, because you know, you don't
want to go to something else's kitchen and get out
there out the put together, the old the mixer. But
the woman, okay, you do your pavlova, Marcus, and you

(29:08):
know it was just pretty straightforward. But I tell you what,
people loved it. I mean there's all sorts of quite
up market food there and quite sort of sophisticated foods
of the world, but particularly the kids, boy hump, I thought, gee, people,
you know, despite everything, oh it's a bit sort of
a cliche. A cliche. People love a pav but yeah,
I can't think of any fruits that would go badly

(29:30):
on it. I'd say, well, I think Kiwi fruits the classic.
It looks good. Passion fruit doesn't look as good, but
it's delicious. But kind of these days it's more like
your sort of pile fruit in the middle. Don't you
You think you get a real Donna hay On. You
know she the food stylists, you go all full Donna
hay and pilot all over the next thing. You know,
oh gee, look at you, your food stylist. You know

(29:52):
everyone's got the other suggestions, what food, what fruits should
go on a pavelover? What does chet GPT say, Dan,
we'll check them out with their Kiwiana. Yeah, chet GPT
would say we will put an apple on. You wouldn't.
I don't think you put citrus on blueberries. I don't
think you put on maybe love hate blow. I think
raspberries are the little blackberries, but raspberries are delicious. At

(30:15):
the moment, I've got five out of five. This is
chet GBT in order passion fruit. They's calling them Kiwi's
tear passion fruit, Kiwi fruit, raspberry. I see those three,
didn't I? Oh, they're taping me. Strawberries, good blueberries, blackberries, mango, pomegranate, pomegranate, pomegranate,

(30:37):
stone fruit, peaches, nectarines, and the blood orange, blood orange.
You look good. Keep it dry. You gotta be stuff
that's not to seat weeping. I think the mango would weep.
Pomegranate not worth the effort. Fairly love pomegranates, but there's
nothing to them, there's no it's just seeds by that's
passion fruit. Twelve to nine lines free. If you want

(31:00):
to partake. People of New Zealand, we're discussing the return
of trade. We I mean, what a how long we
had for thirty years? So good to think that that
whole getting feedback thing would work and people would lift
up their game. Come on, Marcus, passion foot pav and
why would you run a hotel when you can rent
grass for three fifty at night? Exactly? Why would you?
Why would you develop anything? I can't work it out

(31:23):
with a bit luck, I'll go I'll go broke. That's
crazy for a campground. Just tuned in. Thanks for the
AI tip retrade me cracks and we're discussing pavlov toppings. Marcus.
I usually do strawberries, which are yummy in the family favorite.
My favorite is raspberries. I've also done a berry combo.
I've done that, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, a visual symphony. That's right,

(31:47):
check them in the middle. Whip it up, bang bang bang,
good to go and delicious. You know that's what I do.
You're wroll throw it in and so it looks really
sort of shabby chicen in the anyway. Marcus. Back in
the day, I arranged to buy a classic Volkswagen Type
two who trade me? Which involved a phone call, vague

(32:10):
directions and blind optimism. We met in a maure car
park and the guy handed me the case saying take
it for a quick spin. Never saw him again, probably
gone back to the future.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Marcus have previously dealt with both Tradian marketplace that have
always had successful transactions with buying into the gardens from
folks with integrity. Marcus just been in broad Beach raspberries,
delicious and four dollars for two fifty grams. Pert. What's
broad Beach? By the way, Israel said it struck. Additionally,
his Bala commands. Hence in Beirut, where's Broadbeach please, Marcus,

(32:46):
Fitzfroy campground has got to be better the old dump
Fitzroy tavern and one Nuia mutter By mate Shaky's first home. Marcus,
American Americano is very much the same as the beach Hop.
That's what I thought. It always sounded pretty beach hoppy
to me. Just people draw old people driving around in cars. Marcus,
have used Marketplace for five years, personal and business. As

(33:06):
long as you are Soviet, it's fantastic, straight negotiating deals done.
Sixty four year old Kei we Dave. Don't be afraid,
just be smart and cautious. Marcus. I'm a pickup only guy.
Sometimes get to interrect with people who are generally stoked
to get a deal. I juste everything at one dollar
and yes means they can see the condition as they
pick it up. So are you a marketplace guy or

(33:27):
a trade me guy? And what do you think that
trade me changes? And what about three point fifty for
a camping ground side at pop Ahm or I mean
it's just in a suburb anyway. It's not the great outdoors.
If you want to go to town, you'll be stuck
in traffic and tolls. Greetings and welcome seven past time.
We are talking about trade me. Welcome back to trade me.
I think it's going to be good what they've done
to streamline it. So yat to trade me boom marketplace.

(33:49):
I'm not a fan of that at all. I hate
the way it looks. I think trade me looks beautiful
as far as a website when you click on the
different things you want. Anyway, that's me. But actually, what
is a much more interesting topic? And someone said about
the pet? What is a really interesting thing to put
on top of a pablover? Because yeah, I mean, I'm
I'm all there for for raspberries and tin and things

(34:12):
that look good like a blood red keep we fruit.
But what a the what are the ones that you
can really push the boat out with? When who's tried
something revolutionary on a pav I don't know what revolutionary
would be like licorical, licoric all sorts and anchovies. I mean,
there'll be something that's got the umami going on. There
be something really really good that's what you want to do? Anyway,

(34:34):
if you have a suggestion for that, what is it?
She sounds quite good, doesn't it licors all sorts of shock.
It looked good anyway, get in touched by the way.
We've got Rugby league tonight the Melbourne Storm a playing
the Paramedic Eels number eleven versus number two from last year.
Of course the Storm collapsed right at the end, didn't they.
They were outpassioned by res getting touched eight past nine, Peter,

(34:59):
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (35:00):
Well, if you want what's something interesting on pavlova? Do
you're not vegan? Creamers here and cashew nuts? You can
look it up. No dairy on it. Which would be
interesting is.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
That we vegan creamer is pear and cashew.

Speaker 12 (35:13):
Nuts with vanilla essence as well. I can't remember what's
the pear do well? Pears and cash nuts are quite
fattening really, but.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Because if I was vegan, I wouldn't be eating a pavlover.

Speaker 12 (35:27):
Yeah, well, I'm thinking how you can that's what you
do for the cream, but.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
You know what you do for the pavlover if you're vegan.

Speaker 12 (35:35):
I don't know. I was in a vegan crooking competition.
Not great inspirational cock.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Anyway, that sounds fantastic. When was that.

Speaker 12 (35:45):
The first who won was just a small group. They
did a tofu gluten free cheesecake, which was the most
delicious cheesecake if you ever tasted.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Would you be interested if I told you how to
make a vegan pavlover?

Speaker 12 (36:02):
What would you do for the base?

Speaker 3 (36:04):
You would get a tin of chickpea and you would
get the water out of there and you'd whip that up.
And they call that aqua farber, and that has a
quality like an egg white, and that will whip up
and that will allow you to make a vegan pavlova.

Speaker 12 (36:24):
Online as we spent.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
No, okay, no, I've known this for a while because
aqua farber is actually one of the few remarkable food
ingredients that's just been recently discovered. It was discovered by
a chef serendipitously when they're using the water from the chickpeas.
But I think it's cynical that you think I'm on
the computer because I'm nowhere near the computer.

Speaker 12 (36:48):
Oh well, you know, I had the answer so quick.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
That's why I thought you might find that interesting if
you go aqua farber wiki when you finish this call,
because you might next time you will there be another
vegan cooking competition.

Speaker 12 (37:06):
I'll ask my chef to put it on the menu.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Yeah, it's really interesting. Upwa faber the viscous water in
which in which legume seeds such as chick be's have
been cooked. It was discovered by the French musician Jose
Rosel and it mimics the egg ones. Anyway, what did
you mean to tell me before I bore you to tears?

Speaker 13 (37:28):
A friend?

Speaker 14 (37:29):
Or this is?

Speaker 8 (37:30):
This is what he asked.

Speaker 12 (37:32):
I'll be the friend asking you market I want to
sell my house, but I don't want to spend any money.
I want to get the full price.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Raffle it.

Speaker 12 (37:41):
He put it on Facebook Marketplace, didn't cost him any money,
and he sold it within twenty four hours with a
price on it.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (37:50):
Because I suggested, what about a sign? What about a flight? No,
that costs money. I don't want to spend any money. Wow,
So I thought, Wow, that's and how.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Much how much do you think below the value of
it that he got?

Speaker 14 (38:06):
Well?

Speaker 12 (38:06):
I think he got well. He knew what each of
his neighbors sold for. He was in a coulder sack
and so he wasn't going to get any foot traffic.
So yeah, he just put on Facebook marketplace, and people
looked and said, oh, that's the area we wanted. That
was the price were pared to pay and had the
price on it. So people said, yeah, we don't want

(38:29):
to be mucked around with all these different prices and
all this. Who had and they just paid the asking price.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
So who got the thirty forty thousand dollars commission that
the real estate agent.

Speaker 12 (38:39):
Normally gets, Well, obviously no one.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Well does he say that was a house cheaper because
there was no agent fees?

Speaker 12 (38:46):
Probably?

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah, it makes sense, doesn't it.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (38:50):
And then another real estate agent, Tommy, is that the
most the best business he thought was the trade me
business for selling houses.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It is amazingly inefficient that we have real estate agents
that generally, I presume good people that spend days and
days and their whole lives involved in a process that
could be replaced by just computers. I can't work out
what there's something wrong with the real estate model for housing.

Speaker 12 (39:16):
Well, it's profitable for some people earning you know, waste
of their life over a million dollars a year. But
you know, trade me I don't really find a very
good website when it comes to property. For example, you
can't sort of say stand alone one story, two story
or whatever. You can't really sort of narrow you know,

(39:39):
the property type or nothing with plaster or you know,
you can't really in my view, you can't really search
or a view you know, you know, it doesn't really
I haven't looked at recently. It doesn't really seem to
have upgraded itself with the times. If you like, from
a search, I guess you could ask chat whatever to

(40:04):
find out if that can do the search for you.
But I have no idea what you might have to
pay for the intelligence there.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Harry to sell his house.

Speaker 12 (40:14):
Uh well, he was told by the bank that he
wanted to buy another house and he had a challenge
with because it was an inn law house. And his
wife said, oh mom and dad had more money.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
I see where you're going. Peter, thank you, Giff. It's Marcus.
Good evening, Hi, Jeff, Oh god evening.

Speaker 15 (40:37):
Marcus. Just talking about the camping grounds. I had no
idea how ridiculous it was for an average family to
be able to go to a camping ground, put up
a tent and have a bit of fun. So get
away from that. There's several spots on on the way

(40:59):
to walk a Tony from Taronga and one of them
is a pick of Ye camping ground, and course time,
it's absolutely packed because it's pretty realistic. I think it's
only about twenty five dollars a night to stay there,
and the shower blocks and there's fishing, and there's fun

(41:20):
and I've stayed there and it is a lot of fun,
and there's also getting away from there. You can also
on the way there, there's a place you can pull
off and go into a road called Rogers Road on
the walk of Tony Road there and you can stay

(41:43):
as long as it's fully self contained, but there is
a toilet there, and then then about another two hundred
meters or three hundred meters down the road you can
stay about three or four nights and a little place
there and there's a toilet there, but you'd need water.

(42:05):
And but there is a toilet there, and it's right
on the on the coastline. So there's quite a few
places you know you can go, so you don't want
to go and spend three hundred dollars a night. That
is just ridiculous. I've never heard anything like it. I'll
say that Coralmandel, but not for that price.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Good to see you laughing at the end.

Speaker 13 (42:30):
Yeah, well what.

Speaker 8 (42:32):
Else to laugh?

Speaker 15 (42:33):
I think it's just a bloody joke.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
You know.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
It's the I'm going to talk for a bit now.
It's the free market, and that's what the Aussies are doing.
They're buying these camping grounds and they're charging people what
they'll pay. It's crazy, but you know it's what they're doing. Jeff,
thank you. What's your dream? Pablo over topping? Jeff, this'll
be interesting. Jeff, Oh sorry, what's your dream? What's your dream?
Pavlover topping?

Speaker 15 (42:57):
Um, keepy fruit?

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, I think you're speaking for a lot of people
with that, although sometimes with the key if they have
a tough core, which probably doesn't end itself to the
pabvel over. But yeah, you can, can't you can?

Speaker 9 (43:12):
You can?

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Really, it looks good if you stack it right. A
symphony visual. The real estate industry is desperate for disruption
and using years. I agree. I can't believe it all
that it's just so inefficient for human for human time.
The grates of the generation anyway, A whipped whipping cream,

(43:35):
light cheese, baked strawberries and cortd loquats, peaches, and raspberries
with white. I wouldn't put chocolate on it. You see,
we're getting some grubby little suggestions. Melted morrow bar on top,
then lessions of cream. I have tried the new licorice
macintosh toffe is our lovely boiled eggs on the pair
of looked apart and believe it or not, better than

(43:55):
cheese and apricot jam on toast. None to put boiled
eggs on top, Marcus. Great toppings for pear of bark
is caramel sauce and chopped honey, roasted cashews, tree tomato,
fantastic tamaralla tree tomato, poached pears, cream and cinnamon.

Speaker 11 (44:09):
I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Why do they call almond milk alm and milk because
it sounds better than nut juice. Yeah, look, honestly, I
don't I don't know why people are so easily triggered.
I feel they're on weird websites that are winding them up. Marcus,
it's not just the cost which is locking families out
of camping. Our councils are as well. You should talk
about annual caravans on council land. People are screwing permanit
spots for next to nothing. And then leaving the caravans.

(44:33):
They're essentially land banking our holiday spots. It's stopping, stopping,
real campus. We're getting a looking You have to tell
me more about that. I guess pineapple and a pair
would be frowned upon. I think that it would be.
I wouldn't put banana. I'm not a big fan of banana.
I think it'd be a textual buzzkill. But we are
talking about all these things. If you want to be
a part of it. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

(44:55):
Marcus till twelve ah Iran claims attack on US oil
tank and the Persian Gulf are we're talking trade me,
it's back. We are talking pavlov what. It's a really
weird topping you've done, and it's been a real success

(45:15):
because you just buy I mean, there's nothing wrong with
a bought pavlover. You've got to say, I mean, you
may as well just buy them. Someone says cucumber, green
apple and mint. Oh that's chat ai. But they've said
olive tepperinard. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. So
line's free if you want to partake in this or
anything else and be a part of it if you
want to partake. Hello Marcus. I normally cut the pavlover

(45:39):
in hearf put thickened cream and crunch up a cup
of flake chocolate bars for the top. I'd put more
thick and cream and a cup of flake bars and
chopped up strawberries and Kiwi fruit. You see, I think
the sweetness of the flake would I don't know about you.
I just I worry about flakes. I guess I'm not
really a chocolate guy. Mind you put carab on there.
Now we're talking? Or what's the time? Twenty one past nine,

(46:01):
twenty two past nine, Hello Elliott's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Welcome, Hey there, Marcus, how as it going good?

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Thank you?

Speaker 8 (46:07):
Oli.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
I just thought i'd call in and weigh in on
this pavlover and also trade me of narratives that you've got.
The first one is a little bit of a hot
take on a pavlover. I've never I've never had someone
make me a pavlover better than a storeboard.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Exactly, why would you bother eight dollars? That's what you've done,
A dusted Yes, I.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Totally agree, and and you know, Kiwi fruit's a classic
for a reason. But have you ever tried rhubarb on aloud?

Speaker 15 (46:36):
Well?

Speaker 3 (46:36):
OLLI, I mean this is this is why I love
being a hobby broadcaster, because these are the things that
caught that tartness with the sweetness of the that's a
game changer.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
It's awesome. Rubarb and a and a and a and a.
Oh my goodness, I've forgotten the word. Rhubarb and fijo
are great in a crumble as well, if you're if
you're wanting to try that for.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Thinking of a crumble, with thinking what works on a
crumble works on a pevl over a, I would say so.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
I mean they have different they given have differ and textures,
but I just think the flavor combo for it is.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
You know, you can't go wrong with your fijoa on
the pavlova. And yeah, would they be sure? Would they
be sure? Would they be short links of rhubarb kind
of semi semi cooked. Would it be stewed fijo that
would look a bit sketchy?

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Oh yeah, I think you'd have to stew it. And
then you just kind of you just youve got to
tell your guests wait till you try it, because because
then so.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Have you done it or just visualized it.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
I haven't done fij on on on the path, but
but I have done rhubarb.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
And that that went great and it was just stewed rhubarb.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one.

Speaker 9 (47:48):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
I'm excited at that.

Speaker 8 (47:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
And then my thoughts on trade me, You're you're totally
right about about oh my goodness, going crazy. The people
that sell houses, real estate agents, thank you there. They're
almost as useless as i'd say car car dealerships, so buye.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
They're spending so much time, they're spending so much time
doing it, and they are great people, but they're not
the Yeah, it's just inflationary and it's it's just a
monumental waste of time.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
We could, we could a quick way to make houses
just a little bit cheaper, would just get to get
rid of them. But but yeah, but I think trade
me definitely has a long way. I agree for it
has a long way to go with its sort of
parameters that you can put in because I was looking
at I was looking at lease this and leaf and

(48:37):
and what's really important about them is the battery house percentage,
you know, if you're buying a used one, and trade
me just would not tell you, but there was no
input for that. People were putting it in the description.
So some people had it, some people didn't. And there's
just no way to compare.

Speaker 8 (48:53):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Because it makes the algorithm too many, too complicated? Because
I just want to limit the variables because I'm not
in the Yeah, you and that other guy are the
first ones.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
That Sorry, I cut you off there, But I can
see that being a reason.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, I can too. And what do you say with houses?
What you couldn't say at single level? And stuff? He
was disappointed with the houses?

Speaker 14 (49:14):
I was.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I was clicking through it recently, and you can you
can put it into like the houses assault, you know,
as separate or a unit. But it is still pretty
It's a pretty average search system, to be honest. It's
definitely limited in its in its choices.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Yeah, okay, are in the did you get in the
sand leaf?

Speaker 16 (49:35):
No?

Speaker 8 (49:35):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I drive a Toyota Aqua, so you know, I'm halfway there.
But I'm sick of my cars being stolen to ram raids.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
So is it the equa? Is that the equ with
a really easy one to holp.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
That's that's the equa that people that with people were stealing,
but but less now, you know, on as many RAM
rays apparently anymore.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
Good on You're nice to talk Gollie Clickie, Guy, Olie.
Though a lot of record clip click click. Yeah, this
is going to go down really badly with most of you.
But with the Gulf War happening, what a great thing
it would be if just pivoted and went self sufficient
for fuel, solar win battery, imagine that. Imagine if there's
a war in the Middle East. Well, yeah, whatever, because

(50:16):
there's no solo going through the straits of her moves.
Although I'm reading today that Musk, I think Musk's gonna
start sending batteries into space where he can be in
the orbit of the Sun twenty four hours a day.
Makes sense. I don't know how they're going to get
the fuel back, but yeah, he's pivoting totally to batteries.
It's pretty interesting what's going on in the old battery

(50:36):
storage power storage market in the United States, and we
should be there with that. But anyway, it's not going
to happen, is it. We're going to be dependent on
fossil fuels for a long time yet. I would think
rugby leagues tonight at Amy Park Storm versus the Eels.
It's the Thursday night blockbuster. It's the first of the

(50:57):
Rugby League matches for the season played in Australia's already
been two matches in Las Vegas that went pretty well,
although the major talking point was Peter Landy's the head
of the I have an extremely bad dye job and haircut.
That caused much discussion. Yeah, it never goes down well.

(51:18):
As you get older, you start dying your hair. Does
it anyway? Welcome if you want to be a part
of the show. I am still waiting for that revolutionary pavlover.
I don't know, well, I mean waiting as an I
think it's an easy thing to do. But if you've
done something like that, what is it that you've done
and how to work out for you? But yeah, because
I think it's probably, I think it's probably. I think

(51:38):
it's back the pevlover. They don't do them often in restaurants,
do you. I don't know if that they are often.
I suppose marinues is moral thing, isn't It Probably easy
to do with the portion control. But yeah, be in
touch with you want to talk about this or anything else.
Tonight also trade me versus marketplace. But be you aware
of that AI scam that people buy good so take
a photo of it, then they get AI to make

(51:59):
it look like it's cracked. Then they ask you for
a refund. It's big on eBay. So no doubt people
are doing I probably shouldn't sugest because probably star Oh yeah,
but I don't know. Yeah, so that could be a
thing that is happening. Oh, eight hundred and eighty, all
the lines up, freeplet to come through. Be nice to
talk back at your people. Let's be hearing from a

(52:21):
beautiful day. Someone email will be done. Say it was
thirty two degrees in Cromwell today, Cromwell, that's summer temperatures.
I've just logged out of texts there, Dan says, it
says invalid email or password. Israeli strikes have killed six
people in claiming two children and their parents in southern Lebanon.

(52:43):
That Israeli strikes on Lebanon. That's a situation there. Keeping
you updated with what's going on, and if you want
to talk on air, as I say, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty Marcus till twelve, that's me Iran claims
to have targeted Kurtis groups in Iraq. Yes, so all
the details I've got for you when i've got them,

(53:06):
but you get in touch with your on it. As
I've said, it's amazing graphics showing all the traffic through
the straits of her moos and then when the conflicts
start and how that traffic has stopped. It's quite striking.
I don't know where it is in terms of but
does it like an extremely busy passage of water. By
the way, it's the strait of her moves. It's singular,

(53:28):
which I've just realized, not the straits of her moves.
Twenty eight to ten. There's some extraordinary toppings for pavlovers.
This one I like it. I've got hundreds. I'll read
those soon. This one's really taken a fancy to me.
I've taken a fancy too. Crumbled up carrot cake without

(53:49):
the cream, cheese icing on top of the paths. It's
really delicious. Cake doesn't go soggy with the cream. Crumbled
up carrot cake, baked figs and honey, they'd be fantastic. Marcus.
My wife makes a rolled pav which is amazing and
put the ingredients in the center we make our pav
with custard powder in place of cornflour, which makes a
yellow mellow inside. Then have creams and berries on the

(54:11):
top of vere nice. What about poor poor Kathy. It's Marcus.

Speaker 7 (54:15):
Good evening, Hi, MICUs.

Speaker 17 (54:19):
Marcus is listening to the man talk about rhubarb on pavlova,
and he said stewed. Now, if you bake rhubarbie would
never stew it again.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
I love I love when people ring up and they
say things that are just facts and that clear. If
you bake rhubarbie'll never stew it again.

Speaker 17 (54:41):
Yes, you'd layer it onto a baking paper. Just put
it out on a one single layer, cut it all
up and drizzle running honey over it, and then bake
it in a fairly hot oven for about ten minutes.
And the rhubarb holds its shape, but it's cooked, and

(55:03):
you can decorate the pavlova nicely with it. And it's
just so beautiful as no water near it. That this
rubab it's it just takes up the runny honey.

Speaker 16 (55:15):
And you just pick up the.

Speaker 17 (55:19):
Baking paper on each by each end and put it
into tip it into a bowl and refrigerate it and
the honey sort of makes its own juice and goes
right through it.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
It's just lovely.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
And what's the consistency of baked feed a baked rhubarbbab.

Speaker 17 (55:37):
It's it's tender. You wouldn't even know that it's not.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Is it be there or stuff?

Speaker 8 (55:46):
No?

Speaker 17 (55:47):
No, not at all.

Speaker 8 (55:48):
No.

Speaker 17 (55:48):
It goes really soft, but it holds its shape. If
you want to do a.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Decoration, well, okay, I shall do that, Katy, thank you. Wow,
what one's open to Pavlova restaurant, yeah, mind you? Market's
markets good evening.

Speaker 9 (56:05):
We're making a pillow over The art making a puzzle
over rise is beating it and getting as much air
as you can get into it using a steel bowl
and wiping it out with half a lemon so it's
there's no grease. Cooking it for about one hundred and

(56:25):
ten on a one hundred and team safe an hour
and a half cast sugar, beat the hell out of
it until you get the lisk out and you put
the granulated sugar between your fingers when it's dissolved, so
it's really really peaked. Now you plug it in your oven,

(56:48):
let it find its own equilibrium, and you get a
nice pad, okay, council curls pads and the supermarkets yet
are commercially made. You can't get what you can in
the commercial oven from your own oven, depending on on
the oven settings. But topics of paplover raspberries and melted

(57:12):
white choplut pictures and passion fruit. But if we can
change topics a bit. Had you ever had your tarot
cards done? I find it all quite interesting. I hadn't
done Nelson recently when I was down there, good reader,
all quite fascinating.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
Who did the mark?

Speaker 9 (57:32):
Ah, some lady who must have been She was slightly
Asian and very very h a name Lena or something
like that, very old but very very worldly lady. I
think she lives down on Nelson munch Awager.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
How you connected with her?

Speaker 7 (57:52):
Oh, just.

Speaker 9 (57:55):
Ask someone I knew down there, says, come and have
a look at this. And she had.

Speaker 16 (58:01):
What was it?

Speaker 9 (58:03):
Incense and lovely persons and all the colors of the rainbow.
But just a very interesting person. And I think people
are born with the gift of perception, and maybe the
cards are an added bonus to helping them with your
woes in the world or what's going on in your life.
But I came away from there being oh intrigue and

(58:28):
see things differently. But she said a few interesting things
that came to light. But you take it for what
it is and don't dwell on it because it can
eat you if if you want to say it's going
this and that is going to happen, it's just it's interesting.
It's saying it's been around since because of them, the

(58:52):
art of mystics and astrology. So but now so again
is an interesting place that lends itself to all sorts
of quirkiness, especially out of my poor way. But perhaps
one of the art galleries and els taken off boom
have a wave, Paun Richmond. I went, wow, but yes,
so see we are that's my bit for you.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
How long ago did you get Leana? When did it happen?

Speaker 6 (59:17):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (59:18):
What have been around Christmas time? Yeah, but it's just
very very interesting, just just she just was very rating
in her dressed.

Speaker 12 (59:27):
I've never heard that.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
I've never heard the description before. Slightly Asian, which I'm intriguing.

Speaker 9 (59:32):
You're slightly Asian lady, but just very yes, so yeah,
amost I.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Have to pay a few bucks eight zero for how long?
Oh it was over now, Oh goodness, yes, she had
a lot to.

Speaker 8 (59:47):
Say, but.

Speaker 9 (59:53):
Oh gosh, what's in store for me?

Speaker 7 (59:58):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (59:59):
Money?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Did say you're going to come into money. Lena's coming
to money.

Speaker 9 (01:00:04):
It's coming to me that way. It's that's sort of
a generalization, isn't it there? So yeah, but you Yeah,
it was an interesting experience and want I do it again?
I think about it. But mystics, soothsayers, yes, and the
older way are there seemed to be more wiser onto things.

(01:00:25):
So maybe life experiences there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Nice to talk Mark, thank you here til midnight. My
name is Marcus. Welcome. Thirteen is a number. Seventeen to
ten is the time hidden if you want to be
a part of it. A lot of pushback on the
way the guy said pavlover. I've got no comment. I
don't like to judge, but where's the word? It's a
nonsense word. I mean, I know that everyone's involving that

(01:00:50):
borish discussion about who invented it? Who cares? But where's
the word from? It was the thing? It was it
Anna Pavlova, the ballerina. That's right, and a pavelover. I
like the occasional mispronunciation. Nothing I enjoyed as much as
animal night rate anyway, no quick questions to night so
far that has come from the show, trade me and camping.

(01:01:14):
That's two topics. The Canadian MP has said that Australia
was the first place to give women the vote. Yeah,
although do they do it in one state? I don't
know anyway. I think there was some state that got
the vote first, wasn't there? But who cares. It's not

(01:01:34):
like we've actually got anything to be proud of these days.
It's not the history that's important. Is what we're doing
currently that's important. I would think that's just opinion. People
get in touch if you want to. Very interesting about Pavlov's.
A lot of people text me and they're using custed
powder instead of cornflour. Got no idea what that's about,
but they're getting a yellow Pavlover. I suppose you could

(01:01:55):
make a Saint Patrick's day Pavlova, couldn't you? With Guinness?
We make our path with custard powder in place of cornflour?
How many times in his life would people have corrected them?
But he's always right? It's not pavel Over. Someone wants
to know if you can make a pair in an
air fryer where you could try Marcus mixed Berry's on pavlover.

(01:02:16):
So good for you. Lemington pavlover. Someone brought one to Christmas.
What's a Leamington pavlover. I've never heard of that, Oh shivers.
I think I can visualize that. It's a pair and
then you roll it in icing and coconut. I don't
even know what it is, pavlover, Leamington's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
It's good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
They're always inventing new food. What's to deal with trade
we I've just phoned and trades me back. They're going
to make it much safer and easier and the seller
doesn't get charged, but the buyer pays a premium, so
it's it's all changed all. I think it's better because
they've had a they've had a tough couple of years
with dodgy old marketplace doing so well. I don't know.

(01:02:59):
I haven't bothered reading the ft article. I just thought, Yep,
I'm into this. I'm into the fact that trade me
he's got better and I'm doubling down on that. That's
all I want to do. So you get in touch
if you want to talk about that. Oh eight hundred
and eighty nine to ninety text, which you wouldn't keep
logging me off. But that's fine. Now I'm just offering

(01:03:24):
you computer, so I apologize that it's logging me out,
and I'll be back and I just want to read
you this article about trade me, but let me just
take this break first. So the upshot of trade me
is it's now much much cheaper. If you sold a
pram and you wanted to get one hundred bucks, at
the moment, you would pay about eight dollars in success fees,

(01:03:44):
so you only get ninety two dollars for it once
you've paid your costs. Under the new rule, you would
pay no success fees, but about two dollars in ping fees,
and the buyer would pay a ninety nine cents service fee.
So it's all ping pings for everything, which is what
you want. So with ping, you've bought it and you
just click one button and it's in the post. Ping's fantastic,

(01:04:06):
it says in totally. Our customers will be paying about
five dollars lesson fees for a transaction about one hundred dollars,
so it's become much much cheaper. There is no change
for vehicle sales, property or professional sellers. So yeah, it's
a great look. I just think I don't know why
they why they prevaricated. I'm so into this. This has
trade me. I love trade me. I just want there

(01:04:27):
to be more listings because you follow similar categories and
there if they're a bit short of listings, that does
on jepest creepers. Could you do get? I mean, it's
a shopping addiction, I suppose, Marcus. If one starts to rafling,
thank you su Pavlova and trifle not for me. I'm
a rubab spongeing cream person. I don't like trifle at all.

(01:04:48):
Marcus just tuned in. Did you hear about trading news?
You may have mentioned a reo success is just small
service fees. As I've said earlier, I'm just a bar
I'm not a seller, so it didn't really affect me.
But I'm loving this, So there you go. That's the
answer people. Trade me is going to be much much better.

Speaker 11 (01:05:03):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Let me look at all these texts, Marcus. You can
make a pair of can you make a pair of
having a substitute for sugar? I think baked figs with
honey would be a nice topping. Would you put walnuts
on that. No one's gone with nuts on a pav Marcus.
I get frustrated trying to search cars lowest to highest
in Canterbury because there's a car sales place called Oglow Motors,

(01:05:26):
and they start the auctions for ten percent of the
actual purchase price, even though you can't buy it for
that price. Example, they start an auction at fifteen hundred
reserve not met, but the buy now reserve price will
be fifteen thousand. You have to search all their hundreds
of cars to get the actual ones around the fifteen
hundred to three thousand price. Example. Yeah, I'm hearing you
about that, Marcus. I just checked. There are no pav

(01:05:47):
of Lover on trade me, only a Pavlover themed tea towel. Yeah,
Pete Marcus, welcome there you go.

Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
There, Marcus. Regarding trade me, it's a little bit of
a cover up what's happened today, because I've been a
trade me for a little while, Nours. I've actually been
on the back about this pink feet because before I
didn't mind paying the success fee and trade me any
business got to make money for using their website and stuff,

(01:06:15):
I don't mind. I didn't mind paying the seven point
nine percent. Well, I grew. I threw all my listings,
every one of them, about a month ago.

Speaker 5 (01:06:23):
I got sick of it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:24):
Was what they're doing as this lady has not been
very truthful. This uh what's the name Stuarts or whatever?
Here we are namers on trade me. She also what
they're doing now, they're they're getting pink fees, and I
was against that. If people want to before, what they

(01:06:45):
had was I've been dealing a tradeing for a little while.
I always gave my bank details right, I never ever
had any problems. If I had the odd buyer that
wasn't heavy that I was just going to refund the
money went in my account. That was a perfect setter.
So Trade me A tried and making out they are
the good guys, but they're not really because I've been
in the game. How many items you sold on trading

(01:07:08):
in the markets? Have you been in the game for world?

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Yeah, I'm a heavy hitter, heavy hitter?

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
How many what do you call it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
I don't want to be Trade me shamed by you
because you sold what you just sell old guest bottles,
don't you No?

Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
I said about everything, but we'll go back about the fees.
There's ping face I've written into about that. I said,
but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Gonna it's gonna be cheaper for you to sell stuff
because it's gone from about eight percent down to about
three percent.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
But just listening to what I'm saying is with the
ping fee, I was against that. If someone wants security,
there's not there was there's always security before anyway, there
was no What trade me should have done was of
these people that are not got dodgy items and not
just take them off your site. And they never do it.
Do you get a bad feedback? They'll never take it off.
Do you ever look at the feedback on the guy

(01:07:53):
that's that are saying that your item is no good
like you see on the on the A one side
is trade me shouldn't use more clouts look at me
and hang.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
On peage just because I sit your passion. But why
can't you be happy that things will be cheaper for
you to sell?

Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
All I try to say here trade and you're still
still getting your fee.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
But they're not getting as much they're not getting as
much money they are they're getting gone from eight it's
gone from eight dollars to three dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
Yeah, but they're still making money.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Was right, And they're still making money. But but but
but if you sell something, you're you're making.

Speaker 6 (01:08:31):
Saw him hear. My side of the story is they
were getting that before. They were just automatically charging me
as the seller of ping for you as well. No,
that doesn't make that way. Now that's I've written into
them the load of the last month. I must they
might have listened to my discussion as well as you
charged the buyers if they want to buy something on me,

(01:08:52):
why should the seller to pay for these fees. Finally,
are charging the buyer if he wants to cure this
is a good thing.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
Pete. You're into this. You've asked them to do this.

Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
Well, I did, Lucky, I said that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
You've just said you're pulled all the listings like a
petulant kid.

Speaker 6 (01:09:10):
I got principle. I say no when someone's.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
Taking on and I don't stick to your principles. Pete.
You got you're proud of how many You're a great trader.
You're proud keep it. You keep trading with your head high.

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
No, I just listen.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
They're news, Peter. I can't talk all night to you
about your you do not make any sense. I was
gonna say, I don't know if it's my job, but
I think it probably it's I've got no idea what
Pete was upset about, because it seems as though everything
he wanted that he seems to be upset that he's
been vindicated by his complaint and they've done what he said,
Flip you get get yourself as a producing phone commerce.

(01:09:44):
I don't know if they answer phone calls, do they
trade me? But wow, So it's talk about trade mes changes,
which I think are life changing. I think it's fantastic
so that the seller's fee is gone, so it's become
a biased fee and everything is on pings and none
of that typing and all those numbers because of what
happens to trade. You buy something, then you've got to
email them and asking for it. It's it's fair thing

(01:10:05):
around when I had a button and bang your away.
I think it's a great thing. Yeah, I'm a free
pro trade me. I'd like to be a trade me ambassador,
but even that's such a thing actual, I wouldn't really
like to be one. But I'm not into marketplace at all.
Facebook Marketplace terrible. I've never seen anything I want to
buy on it. Maybe firewood, but firewood's are funny old business,

(01:10:27):
isn't it. We're talking about that, We're talk about really
interesting pavlover toppings, the ones that will you'll take to
a pot like the jeepest creepers. Wow, godness me gee,
that's really changed my way I look at a pavlover.
I don't want to have discussions about people saying, what

(01:10:47):
do you prefer a pavlover or a trifle or what's
that white trash thing that people love. It's called ambrosia.
I just feel icky even thinking about it. But anyway,
I'll pretably get in trouble with saying white trash.

Speaker 9 (01:11:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
No, a pavlover is simple and sophisticated. That's the plan,
people's I also talking about trade me pavlovers and camping
grounds charging three and sixty dollars now for a site.
The ausies have brought up our camping grounds. They should
be they should be nationalized, the government should run them. Marcus,
you could do caramelized walnuts on your pev. Marcus, I

(01:11:29):
put chopped up Kesha nuts on my pev with cream
and shaved chocolate. Has anyone mentioned that petrol station has
been incredibly busy. Why are people panic buying already? Marcus.
Trade me has become a website for property and drop shipping.
Nine out of ten listings up for products not even
in the country and available on temu.

Speaker 8 (01:11:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
I don't know about that. I don't get into the
new stuff. Well I'm not into that, but yeah, drop shipping,
I don't. Yeah, I don't. I don't know the stats
on trade me. I like the human side of it.
I like people in their garage wrapping stuff and corrugated cardboard,
putting in a couple of jellybeans and sending it down
to here. That's why, with a little nose, a little smile.

(01:12:10):
So I like the people just wrapping stuff up and
wrapping it well, and you say things like well wrapped.
He's you're looking for the scissors because you're desperate for
your parcel and wanted to rip into it. Oh, I
love trade me. You don't got the interesting trade me stories,
interesting things that was wrapped with. That's what we're about tonight.
Now get in touch. Hit Tell twelve Melbourne Storm zero
zero three nasty head knock in the first minute. Oh

(01:12:32):
so a parameter of scored. I thought a guy was paralyzed,
but he got up and he walked off. But yeah,
he was out cold. Guy fell on his neck. It
didn't look good anyway. Come on, Oh, there's something different
you want to mention tonight. I'm not I'm not fast,
you know me tap the top of it. But these
are good topics. I'd ring up about Pevlo. I think, oh,
or your pavlover hecks. So there's something interesting you've done

(01:12:55):
with the top I reckon. Someone said tin mandarins are good.
I reckon they would be good. I reckon tin grapefruit
would be good. I don't know about all the chocolate stuff,
like putting up a flake in it. Well, by the way,
there's more trouble and invert cargol. I'm seeing too that
now someone has started to give a little page to

(01:13:18):
fund money for an interactive statue of the former mayor,
Sir Tim's shadbolt. But his former partner, well, his widow.
I guess she'd call it. Well, I don't know the
terminology that went married. But his widow she's re upset
because she does not approve of it. So someone on
who's a mate of Tim's Shadbolts has gone to start

(01:13:39):
a go Fundme page for three undred and sixty thousand
dollars for an interactive statue that you can talk to,
and I don't know the way it works, but yeah,
so there you go. I don't imagine that's going to
be straightforward. But that's just something else that I don't
think they want the counsel to pay for it. They're
just asking for a give a little page so that

(01:14:02):
his partner is saying that people should not donate to
it to the given, but people, I think people want
to do something for it, because so there you go.
There's something else there. Never seems to be straightforward. Twelve
past ten. If you want to be a part of
the show, I'm here to midnight. Roman is along at twelve,

(01:14:22):
Mayam Greed, Graham Mead's along at twelve. So that's the
way it's going to rumble tonight and get in touch
if you want to partake thirteen past ten if there
is other stuff you want to talk about. They're also
about this social media band front of sixteen that's getting
ahead of steam. I'm less a fan of it perhaps
than I was six months ago. I don't really know

(01:14:42):
why that is. But people will have their views and
you might be one of those people. So get in
on that too. But thirteen past ten if you want
to talk, and I will keep you updated with the
Middle East. That's very much part of the role tonight.
So or it seems like we've gone for a long time.
And don't think it's even a week. It it's about
five days. What's day sex they're calling. It doesn't feel

(01:15:09):
like day sex. Feel like it's out on Saturday. As
Abaijan has said that drones launched from Iran have landed
in its territory. Of course, the two country share borders.
The first time the Coscuse the Courscause course has been
tagged by her answers at the start of the war, Louise,

(01:15:30):
it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:15:32):
Oh good evening, Marcus. Yes, I'm a trade me fan
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Yeah me too. Good on here. That's something we've in common.

Speaker 16 (01:15:37):
Yeah I like it, Yes, yeah I do.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
And it feels like a New Zealand company to I know,
it's sort of over grown by fund managers, but I've
always thought they've managed to It's always had that sort
of feel to it to me.

Speaker 16 (01:15:49):
Yeah, I feel safe buying something on trade man too. Yeah,
I sold her years ago. About seven years ago, I
sold a vintage vase which I raped really well, and
at the end of us in pieces that I was
so gutted I had to give them back his money.

(01:16:09):
And with vintage stuff, you never know if it's been
cracked at some stage, you know, and you just don't know,
so it's very risky. So the next time I sent
last year a couple of big Gary Nash vases and.

Speaker 4 (01:16:29):
She got them.

Speaker 16 (01:16:30):
She said, you packed into them and into their lives,
didn't you. And I said, yes, I wasn't good. I
was going to make sure that they didn't break.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Would you peck yours like that?

Speaker 16 (01:16:42):
Well, you've got to put stuff, paper and stuff in
the middle of it, and then I put I think
I put it in one box and then put another
box around it, and then stuffed all this other paper
all the way around it. Oh yeah, top me forever.
But it was worth it because so they didn't break.

(01:17:02):
And yeah, I've had no I've had a couple of
experiences with things that came from overseas that didn't look
like what I paid for, and blah blah, but nothing,
nothing made you. They were just low what do you
call it? Low priced items?

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
Any stuff on eBay?

Speaker 16 (01:17:23):
Yes I do. Yeah, yeah, we have no problems with Yes, yes,
very good. I was nervous about it first because it's overseas,
but if you look at the ratings that they're pretty accurate.
You know, I've got quite a lot of stuff from overseas,
stuff you just can't get here at all, you know,

(01:17:44):
So it's yeah, I enjoy it at you. No, I'm
a maximalist, but I'm not not buying anything more now
about what you overtopping, I usually a flake, but I

(01:18:06):
was just thinking those cherries, those almond flavored cherries which
put the little sticks on it, the stems on them.
They'd be really nice on top of the paddle.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
Over an almond flavored cherry.

Speaker 16 (01:18:21):
Oh, the March, March and Chino cherry.

Speaker 5 (01:18:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:18:26):
Yeah, as you can find them letters they're very difficult
to find.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Able to find them?

Speaker 16 (01:18:34):
Yeah, probably you can get into the would.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
You mainly buy it? Mainly sell these buyers and sellers aren't.

Speaker 5 (01:18:40):
There a Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:18:43):
I sell my ars on trade MA and I sold
twenty five so, you know, not not very high price.
But but I just sold my old phone on trade me,
and now they've got to put the prices down with
it risky annoying.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Oh yeah, well least they've done it. Nice to talk
seventeen past ten. Get in touch if you want to.
Here's Tel twelve eight hundred. Marcus. I work in financial
crime for one of the major banks. I can tell
you that Facebook marketplace is chronic for scams. A shocker,
I'd say that's true. Yep. People talking about gas stations too. Marcus.

(01:19:22):
I trade on trade may trade me selling used motorcycle parts.
I also trade via pace Facebook. When contacted via Facebook,
I give the buyer the option to buy cheaper through
Facebook or through trade me with ten percent extra on
for fees, and the majority of the time they go
with the Facebook option and trust. Oh it's very interesting,
thanks Jason. That's the discussion tonight. Trade me, camping grounds

(01:19:45):
and pavlovers and what's your most interesting topping for a
pavlover When we seem to get more exotic fruits and
things these days, I just wonder what's sort of the
thing you've decided to as a bit of a game
changer that might be something you want to talk about tonight,
and the war is always there as a topic. Just
every day it seems to grow more in its scope

(01:20:08):
and its complexity, And now ab Djan seems to be
in having more trouble with that than I thought I
would than I thought I would. But yeah, that's a situation.
So if you want to talk on that to feel free,
there's other stuff you want to mention tonight, it's all
got all got hit till twelve and eight eighty seems

(01:20:31):
to be much drama. Was trying to get people from
the UK out of the Middle East. They're talking about
chaotic night. They're saying terrified. Passages were said to be
smashing on windows and having panic attacks as they set
helplessly on the plane on the tarmac, and Muscat one
described the ordeal as a total shi show is hit show.

(01:20:55):
It had been scheduled apart from the Moni cap at
eleven PM, but could not depart due to the pilot's
hours clocking up. So it seems like a lot of
people are stranded for quite are Caine reasons know much
about that, but yeah, and I think the same with
the New Zealand planes. They haven't got off you there
are ten to four Melbourne over Parametter and we are

(01:21:15):
talking trade me and Pavlova, topics and campgrounds. The fact
that campgrounds are now becoming incredibly expensive sites at Papa
More that are three hundred and sixty dollars a night
that's just for grass, which just seems wrong to me.
And I can't work out why it's well obviously too,
I would imagine. And this makes it worse that probably

(01:21:37):
the Mount Monganui campground has closed because of the landslip,
so that's even worse. They're taking advantage of people. So
you're not very happy about that at all? What are
you happy about, Marcus? That's rhetorical lines free. If you
want to be a partaking in this case, we'd love
to hear from you tonight as I say, oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty something else you want to

(01:21:58):
mention too? Feel free?

Speaker 8 (01:21:59):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
It's sixty years since Country Calendar started, so that's the situation.
I don't know what its first show would have been.
I can't receive from the article sort of escape farm
farming escapism for townies, isn't it? The country folk watch it?

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
But there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
It's beloved and yeah, well don them for sixty years.
That's happening and a parliamentary committee has recommended that the
government banned children from using social media. The committee, made
up from MPs from across Parliament to New Zealand, should
adopt the regulations of the UK, EU and Australia to

(01:22:42):
come a fast follower in the space of digital regulation.
Those jurisdictions have either banned children for social media or
I'm moving to act and the Greens both opposed the ban,
argued that prohibition did not tend to work and it
could end up pushing children into fringe fringe websites. So

(01:23:03):
that's happening. I don't know if what if they're going
to how they're going to do, I don't know if
they're going to be votes in that. I'm not quite
sure we're there going to go now with that discussion,
but yeah, there we go, and that's probably all I've
got to say for you now. Twenty six past ten.
If you want to be a part of the show,
Good evening and welcome are twelve to four Melbourne over Paramedic.
It seems to be one way track at the traffic
there with paramedter up with Melbourne having the certainly the

(01:23:26):
advantage maybe two tries to one.

Speaker 9 (01:23:30):
I think it is.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
And yeah, be in touch if you want to be
on E tonight. And as I say, there's something different.
By the way, there are a lot of people filling
up with guests tonight. I don't know if that's what
you've seen. Sales prices of guests have increased ten to
fifteen percent. According to White Tall More sales increasing by
ten to fifteen percent. People are filling up and filling

(01:23:53):
their cars ahead of the price increase. It will flow
through the market of the coming weeks because of the conflict.
What we're seeing is those people who can out there
can are out there buying, and they've been buying all week.
We've noticed this week that sales have been up ten
to fifty percent. I guess that's exist about the day.
Because it's a discount day. People have been waiting to
fill up. So that's why you're seeing queues across from
our sights, because it's a great price and one that

(01:24:14):
we may not see for a while. A few prices
at the way tamat tidy Cotte Road were two dollars
three sixty nine a liter. I don't know what it
normally is, so that's the situation. They just to explain
that to you. But yes, here to hear from your people.
Twelve four Melbourne have a Paaramotter numbers eight hundred and eighty,
ten eighty and nineteen ninety six, ten twenty eight. Gim

(01:24:38):
ats Marcus, good evening. Hello, Hi Jim, welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:24:44):
Yeah, Hi, how are you doing good things?

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:24:46):
Just something of interest for you, Marcus. My family live
in Hubu Dhabi.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Well, okay, how are they?

Speaker 14 (01:24:55):
Oh, it's it's fine. It's calm at the moment, but
it's several nass pretty bond by stick stuff, but it's
calm at the moment. I have my I sung, his
wife and four kids to twin boys Heidi and she
very Irish name and adopted Ethiopian twin girls sure, Sarah

(01:25:21):
and Brooke and Abdi.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
Hell, look, Joe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry this. I'm just
gonna go to headlines and I'll come back to you
because I'm keen to hear about this. So just hold there.
I'll be back to coming back to about sixty seconds.
A case of just to hang there. I'd like to
hear what their experience is at the moment. So thanks,
so just stay there if you've got the experience with
family in the Middle East. I'm just looking with Abu
Dhabi as I mean, Dubai is just right across the

(01:25:47):
Straits of Hormus through Iran. I mean they're looking at
looking at the map of Iran from Google Maps, it
seems to be an incredibly barren looking place, doesn't it,
apart from right up there at the Caspian Sea we're
there is the So I don't want the rainfall is
I mean it must be desert? Is it same year?

(01:26:08):
But yeah, you might have some experience about that as
well too, So be in touch if you want to
be part of it. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty
welcome people Pavlov's and trade me. I don't fully understand
without it seems as though you can't do bank transfer anymore.
I didn't really fully understand that what they said there
in that news, But you might have some information about that.
Two people. What's going to happen to this building that's

(01:26:30):
run out of money on the Auckland skyline. This is
the Seascape Tower unfinished. Well, I guess someone will buy
It'll be with some money to someone in the end.
But yeah, there we go. It's a nice looking building.
It's going to be a ripper. Oh there is dodgy
concrete in the bottom. That's try they get the bubbles out.
But yes, there has been a feature for a while
of downtown Auckland that's constructed that. So yeah, twenty seven

(01:26:53):
away from eleven. If you want to talk, as I say,
oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
to detext Lauren, this is Marcus. Good evening, Lourie, and
sorry it's Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:27:04):
Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:27:05):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (01:27:07):
Look, I'm not points are to think about the children
not being allowed on social media. Well, we've got twelve
year olds can go to teachers and talk about abortion
and take the vaccine without their parents' permission, but now

(01:27:28):
they're being told they're not for chidren to go on
social media. Well I know for a fact that some
young people.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
Hey, Lauren, could you could you just get your phone mine?
Because I think what you're saying. You seem quite passionate
about this, and I cut it right. No, it's coming
in and out. So you're saying that children can get
the vaccination.

Speaker 18 (01:27:53):
Yeah, they were taking the vaccination at twelve. They were
allowed to at twelve, So that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
Means is this vaccination for well, I don't know about
all that.

Speaker 18 (01:28:02):
When we had the pandemic, children of twelve were allowed
to go and get the vaccination despite their parents didn't
want it. And also they could go to teachers and
talk about abortion if they wanted an abortion without telling
their parents. So the government must think that that they're
old enough to make decisions at twelve, but now they're

(01:28:25):
saying they're not. They're not mature enough to be on
the internet under sixteen. So I just find it a
bit weird. And also I know that some children really
do need the internet because in the past they would
have just been lonely children. I do know people who.

Speaker 3 (01:28:44):
I think there are people and some of those people
they might have people that have well the word what're
trying to look for is I thukuess the specially needs
which is a terrible two. But they might I think
it's a data too. But there are people that might
Their community might be an online community, and I do
have That's one of the things that I think is
is a valid reason for those people to have that connection.

Speaker 18 (01:29:06):
Also that they're talking about giving sixteen year olds the vote, Well,
if the sixteen year olds can't go online and find
out information, how can they make good decisions about things?
And also regarding information, you know, say if they were interested,

(01:29:27):
say they did want some private information, they didn't want
him to know, like maybe they did think they wanted
an abortion, but they didn't want to talk to anyone yet.
There might be you know, there might be other things
online where other people they can talk to. But I
do realize that there are dangers. So I'm not saying
I've got the answers.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
I just want to I think the very specific cases
that you've got. But I think the concern is that
the technology is so addictive and the technology is so
compelling that people twelve year olds will spend their whole
childhood on their phone, and I don't think anyone wants that.
So so and parents are sick of trying to limit

(01:30:09):
their children's hours on technology.

Speaker 18 (01:30:12):
So I'm not saying that I know the answers. I
just those things that you know kind of stand out
for me, you know, just through through knowing other people.
I mean, you know, like something happened to me once
and I just typed in this question online. You know,
does anyone have this, has this happened to anyone else

(01:30:32):
that was on Yahoo. Actually they did it slightly differently,
and all these people started answering me and they were
all giving me advice and information and it was really
really helpful. So I just sort of worry that what
had happened to you, you'll probably laugh at my cat?
My cat died, and I was really upset and I
couldn't stop crying. So I went Timeline. I said, my

(01:30:53):
cats died and I can't stop crying, and it was
just wonderful. All these people were just Yeah, And I
just think that that you're going to take that away
from from twelve year olds and thirteen year olds and
four one year olds and fifty year olds. But you
want to give a sixteen year old the vote, and
you want it, and you want twelve year olds to
be allowed to go and have an abortion or get

(01:31:14):
the pandemic, Van, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
I don't know that twelve year olds can go get
an abortion.

Speaker 18 (01:31:20):
Well, they can get advice from other people that are
not their parents.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Like school, Yeah, but that's that's a bit different from
getting an abortion, Lauren. But yeah, I appreciate what you're saying,
but thank you. Yeah, Jim, So thanks for coming back.

Speaker 9 (01:31:33):
Jim.

Speaker 3 (01:31:33):
You're talking about your family in adud A. What do
they do? Are they in construction?

Speaker 8 (01:31:39):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:31:39):
No, my sons of private business. Mind he has lived
there for twenty odd years.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
Well, and they have their content there. Sorry are they
content there?

Speaker 10 (01:31:51):
Well?

Speaker 14 (01:31:51):
Yeah, well I've been there on key tapes. I've been
in holidays several times. Yeah, all the probably over the
last twenty years. Yeah, it's fairly neutral. Haba Dabis fairly neutral,
although it controls the idea is the huge investment bank,

(01:32:14):
the controls all the monastery stuff for the United Arab Emirates.
So they're targeted and they will be. They've had a
few dodgy knights that they've had bombs here there and
there we were, but it's calm at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
Has it caused them any concern?

Speaker 14 (01:32:34):
Oh yeah, there's people obviously when that happens in that region,
there's an exodus. You know, there will be people vying
to go on aeroplanes and get all get back to
where they came from. But uh yeah, kwee, Well I

(01:32:54):
don't sound like a kiv by. I'm a kV my
son is I was born in England, but brought up
here in New Zealand and Outland educator to see colleague
and stuff. So we're curious.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
Yeah, I guess the sense I was trying to get you.
And maybe you can't tell me whether the people thinking
of moving from there but their disruption. But thanks anyway, Carrie,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:33:20):
Good evening, Yeah, a good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:33:22):
Marcus got our dad's station bus at the moment and
we found those episodes online. They're on TVM Dead the Country, Talingment.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Oh what ees? What episodes have they got up?

Speaker 19 (01:33:37):
It's about seven of them and the first one starts
second nineteen seventy seven and the first one is the
dairy farming and what and and then I think it
was on flex making but the next one. But with
so many of them. But the thing was what I
enjoyed about them, what they enjoyed about them is seeing

(01:33:58):
all the old vehicles, you know, like they can you know,
the old Comma trucks and some of the old you know,
get some one ad bees and all that kind of stuff.
So really interesting for that side of things. But they
ended up going going to bed and hopping. He ended
up watching most of it most of.

Speaker 14 (01:34:14):
The day.

Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
Is he a farmer.

Speaker 19 (01:34:19):
He was, Yeah, yeah, he was for a number of
years most of his life actually, so yeah, so he
was just saying and that took care of.

Speaker 8 (01:34:28):
Him for for a while.

Speaker 19 (01:34:29):
But yeah, cool, all the other thing.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
Markets they're always beautiful film too. I mean they're amazing
looking things. You know, they put a lot of they
were very well done always.

Speaker 19 (01:34:41):
Oh definitely, you know, even back then. You know, like
it was just some of the camera shots that some
of the old gear they used harvesting the fields and
just the way they hit the camera, you know, sort
of looking up at the gear coming towards it, and
it's like quite advanced for back then, so it's worth
worth watching. Just there's some of the There's one thing

(01:35:03):
that showed there with a rope around the cow's leg
protaly it's one side. Well, gee, you can't do that nowadays.

Speaker 10 (01:35:09):
Some of the practices what was the round the league for.

Speaker 19 (01:35:14):
I was holding the cow from one place so they
could do may have been doing AI or.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
In those days was different from AI now, isn't it.

Speaker 19 (01:35:24):
Yes, mind you some people probably think you can do
it on your phone now.

Speaker 16 (01:35:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:35:33):
Hey the other thing is the Facebook, Okay, Like I
just know we just don't go there. In La with
the marketplace by my son, he saved up some money
for an outlaws motor. Tom was probably not Facebook, but
anyway he's suching on there and he's found something there
for about three hundred and fifty bucks. So off we

(01:35:55):
went down to a city near near Warrington. In certain way.
The guy my kiss at the compression on it had
plenty of compression, and then he started up and they
had water bubbling out the bottom there and that he
had it in a big tub and the fly sat
so shut it down and we bought it home a
little bugger race and it just overhea today. Smoke started

(01:36:19):
coming off at the first couple of minutes.

Speaker 12 (01:36:20):
It was running totally.

Speaker 9 (01:36:22):
Ripped me off.

Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
Did you have any red resk or do you not know.

Speaker 9 (01:36:26):
Where he was?

Speaker 19 (01:36:28):
I thought it from his place, But he's not the
kind of guy you'd probably want.

Speaker 3 (01:36:32):
To go back and go up, That's the thing. Could
you be bothered going back and saying for money? I
looked a bit grizzly.

Speaker 19 (01:36:38):
No, you know, like he knew he was ripping me off?
So what was the point in bailing?

Speaker 9 (01:36:43):
Enough about it?

Speaker 20 (01:36:43):
You know?

Speaker 19 (01:36:44):
And yes, I just won't go near that. Now where
is with the trade me? You know, you got all
the feedback and I think.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
The feedback seems to work so well to encourage good
But it's a remarkable thing how well that's worked. I
think with feedback.

Speaker 19 (01:36:59):
Oh, that I've just based the whole, the whole tragging
on that. Really that you know that client in the products,
you know. So I'm looking for to going back on
Facebook and I'll have a look at the new changes
in the payment option. So now we see by training very.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
Good on Yeah, I'm tribute too, Curri, thank you. Hello,
Paul as Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:37:22):
Yeah, you're talking about shingles. One thing you didn't mention
was when you two twenty five, you can only claim
the money free for that year. After when you're two
in twenty six, you don't receive this, you have to

(01:37:43):
pay for it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
Do you mean sixty Do you mean sixty five.

Speaker 13 (01:37:49):
When you're when you're sixty five, Yeah, when you're sixty
five you can claim.

Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
For the Yeah. I think that was that was mentioned
that last but year that people didn't mention that last
for teen years. Thanks Paul. Fifte away from eleven. Anita
has emailed I make rolled pavlovers sometimes plainer. I sprinkle
the liced almonds or pistachios on the pavlo over, then
bake when it calls. I spread sweet and whipped cream,

(01:38:19):
then scattered raspberries and rolled, then wrap them in icing
sugar sprinkled tinfoil and freeze them to the sprinkle tin
fall on it till I need them. I take them
out of the freezer two to three hours before they
need to be eaten. Usually beginning of December, I will
make six pavlover rolls and use them to take for
desserts at barbecues over the holiday period. They freeze really

(01:38:42):
well for four to five months. An it tar. I'm
a big fan of Temu great stuff and this is
not me. This is a text plus the items last forever.
If you are not happy, they will refund your money.
No question to asked market place as Unfortunately, too many
scammers ban the social media for other sixteens. I agree
parents should not allow children hunder at least thirteen years old,

(01:39:03):
especially preschool children, to have cell phones exces Tree social media.
There's a lot of kids going on YouTube, TikTok and
other young kids. They also have PlayStation's Xbox Talk. Talk
to little children and older children don't even know how
to ride a bike or play cards and board games.
Blueberry is on the pavlover. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
That's what people are saying. It's twelve away from eleven
interesting and between midnight and five am, uth tech ZDB
on AM and Willington'll be off air. Stay with us
on the FM.

Speaker 8 (01:39:37):
We have some sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:39:39):
That'd be my suggestion to you. We'll do what you
need to do. And what's happening in the Middle East.
Here's your update. There's people from all over the middlest
heading back to the UK. That's the angle for the
UK papers. Drones have slammed in the national airport and
Abba Azerbaijan six miles from the Iran's border, so it

(01:40:05):
seems to be so yeah, they've been targeting the Kurds
in Iraq and now targeting as Abaijan. There will be
plans in place and there will be methods behind what
they are doing, no doubt. And the other latest, the
other latest is the situation as a Baijan. It is

(01:40:30):
revery quick to see what they think that the point
of that is as a Baijan an oil rich authoritarian
state that has adopted neutral stance in the Middle East conflict,
has recently developed a closer ties with Israel and the
Trump administration, while gradually moving away from Moscow, who's the

(01:40:55):
traditional power broker in the Caucasus. The country hosts no
US military bases, suggesting Iran may be expanding its strikes
beyond targets directly linked to American forces, but the growing
military cooperation there with Israel is called friction with Tehran,
so the two neighbors have largely maintained pragmatic relationships. Both

(01:41:19):
countries are majority Shier Muslim, and Iran is home to
millions of ethnic Aziris. Estimates range from about fifteen to
more than twenty million, many living in the northern western
provinces bordering Azerbaijan. Complicated ten away from eleven here till
twelve midnight. Be in touch, Marcus. Although trade me is

(01:41:45):
getting rid of success fees, they are going to charge
a fee on ping purchases outlined below. That's right. It
looks as though it's about one percent, so that's happening.
So yeah, they worked out it's about five bucks cheap
of one hundred dollars. The way it's going to go.
That's my understanding of it. Away from eleven boiler counts

(01:42:09):
has been big queues at gas stations today. They are
saying that's because of them at least, but also today
is the cheaper day at Waitomoor. They've got a discount
on a Thursday that is cheaper. That's what's happening there.
But yeah, people are worried and are stocking up, so
that's what's happening. And they reckon too. That's going to
get another week. If it goes for another week, If
it escalates more than there's going to be more and
more price shocks. It's going to come in tears. And

(01:42:33):
that's the situation. So they're be it'll be inflationary. I
suspect the government be very exciting that they've got something
to international to blame the cost of learning crisis on.
They'll be using that for all they can, I would think. So, yes,
be a part of if you want to be a
part of the show, If you want to talk quickly
before the news, that would be great to hear from you.

(01:42:58):
I don't quite know. I don't quite understand the article
about the Tim Tams and the fridge. I haven't got
time to actually see if I can understand that an
Australian office worker has gone viral after accusing a colleague
of being there tim tams from the kernel work fridge
then and riding the rest of the office to join in.
Someone at work put to help yourself note on a

(01:43:18):
peck of tin tams that I brought. Oh wow, And
a accompanying photo shows an open packet of caramel flavored
on its Tim Tams, with a sticky note attached that
features a smiley faced emoji saying help yourself. Enraged social
media users describe the behavior as diabolical, belligerent, and villainous.
Well it is audacious. Well things, yes clan in the workplace,

(01:43:41):
don't they, so you're post it note saying help yourself.
It's so absolutely wild to me that working professional adults
till each other's food at the office, one wrote, but
mused at the alleged thief's lack of courtesy. Oh well,
it's probably a prank, and not every prank gets the
tone right least people are trying to be funny in
the workplace. Terry or biscuit, the timtam terrible. I think

(01:44:02):
the whole route that biscuits have gone down the chocolate
way is wrong. Marcus Trade me has too many wholesalers
who are often disguise themselves individual sellers. In this shipping
poor contact need to be filtered out. I agree. In Turkey,
the chef in the hotel we're staying at made us
Kiwi's of Pavlova topped with whipped cream, sun dried tomatoes,

(01:44:23):
pickled and tangerine juice and sprinkled with chilis crusted pistachio nuts.
Sounds weird and saney delicious. I agree, that sounds fantastic.
That's the best text I've had all night about Pavlova's.
You've raged the bar, sun dried tomatoes, tangerine juice, chilies,
crushed pistachio nuts. Not good news for the government when
they'll be relying on good economic news to share the

(01:44:44):
international factors. Excuse didn't work past COVID Luxon was all
for fuel and guests going up as he fully supported
those Americans. Oh yeah, that's the bit of language there.
But I'm seeing what you're saying there. Thank you. Gosh,
I'm friendly trying to ring an up so read and
upskill about as a Boujan, beautiful looking placement, incredibly complicated history,

(01:45:05):
it seems. So that's brought into the war with a
rat Iran drone attacking the airport of Azerbaijan, which is
on well close to the border landlocked country former part
of the I believe it was formerly part of the USSR.
I'm pretty sure that's the case. So anyway, that's I

(01:45:27):
don't know if anyone out there has been to there.
It's probably one of those places to be beautiful to
go on holiday too. There we go Azerbaijan, and that's
the place that we're learning about today that's got involved
in the complex and the conflict in the Middle East,
just below Georgia and below Russia and alongside the Caspian
Sea cspan C looks amazing too, well known tourist spot

(01:45:51):
in the eighties, So that's happening. By the way, another
Iranian vestors having an engine trouble off the coast of
Sri Lanka, so they said to be targeting the navies.
But yeah, we are talking about Pavlova's and your most
revolutionary topic topping for a p over. Someone asked that
earlier on they were also talking about trade me and
the improvements there and what else they need to do
to improve trade me. But what I've noticed from the

(01:46:14):
callers to night, people have a great love of trade me.
The love might have gone. No one has any love
for marketplace, but trade me is going to be a
lot cheaper to sell on if you just like an
amateur trader, and it's a good thing. I love trade me,
but it's good for us because we want more listings.
It's nothing without the listings. If you're buying secondhand stuff,

(01:46:35):
you know you want that variety of stuff. I think
that's really important. So that's what we're focusing on. Trade
me and camping grounds and camping grounds like the one
at Papa Moa with surge pricing. They're charging three hundred
and sixty dollars a night, which is kind of amazing,
isn't it for a piece of land for one night,

(01:46:56):
not a motel. No cleaning, no sheets, no vacuuming. All
you do with the camping runners moe at once every
two weeks, Raymond, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 5 (01:47:06):
Things to Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:47:07):
Oh good, thank you, Raymond.

Speaker 8 (01:47:08):
That's the story.

Speaker 21 (01:47:09):
Just bringing up about the old pav scenario. My favorites
are I just had a mouthful of chocolate. My favorite
topping is nice lemon curd translucent. I think any of
those fruits that have got a bit of bite to

(01:47:30):
take the sweetness.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
That's what it was. When people are saying flakes, and
because I think it needs to be something which it's
got a bitterness that will because it's pretty damn sweeter.
You need something that's really gonna mellow that out, don't you.

Speaker 21 (01:47:43):
We'd cut through it.

Speaker 10 (01:47:44):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
That's that's exactly it.

Speaker 21 (01:47:47):
The other thing was Americana. I had a car in
it and I just saw that that you know what
it's actually about. It's more than just driving through towns Wednesday,
they go down to open Eki Beach. Yes, and park
up down there. There was this year there was six

(01:48:07):
hundred and seventy seven cars in it registered and turned
up about I'd say about seven and Mertland bucks.

Speaker 9 (01:48:16):
With cars mainly Auckland.

Speaker 21 (01:48:20):
Auckland isn't what where are.

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
They mainly from? Are they mainly from out of the
area or they money Taranaki cars.

Speaker 21 (01:48:27):
A lot of Tarannicha cars, a lot of motor heads
down here, but mainly from out of the region. Sure, well,
other motels are packed booked out and also all the
ed ares are full every night. Great for the town.

Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
So Opinaki one night on the Wednesday or Pinaki.

Speaker 21 (01:48:48):
Yep Wednesday during the day. And then Thursday was down
to White for the whole main street for a breast
and another paddic next to the school full of cars
as well. They have food trucks, live music and like

(01:49:11):
line dans and demonstrations and all that sort of stuff,
a bit of rock and roll. And then through to
Englewood at for the evening and same there again they
had a big trailer set up with a live band
doing covers and food trucks. The whole main street packed

(01:49:35):
out again, all their roads are closed, all the cars
of for breasts across the road. And then Friday was
down to Stratford, same there and then down to Hara
the whole main street packed out again. They had acceleration
competition down there. Suddenly guys just used it to smoke

(01:49:59):
the ties for two hundred meters, but it was all
good fun. And then Friday night into New Plymouth do
like that guy I mentioned before, a cruise up and
down Devon Street, figure out around the CBD. That's a
lot of fun. And then Saturday is a big one

(01:50:20):
in Phillymouth. I couldn't believe the amount of people on
Friday night. The whole Devon Street was packed out, about
three deep, the whole way up both sides. Yeah, it's
pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:50:34):
And then Staurday, what did you say? Said it is
the big one? What happened that day?

Speaker 21 (01:50:39):
Once again? The big park up of Devon Street from
the basically the courthouse all their way up to the
end of the CVD at the other end, same again,
heaps of stalls selling all sorts of stuff, alive music. Yeah,

(01:51:01):
my first one, the first time I've been in it,
and I was pretty impressed organization.

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
If you're a car owner and you've talked about why
and all around Stratford, are you normally just in your
car to look after it or are you just packing
your car and leaving it there?

Speaker 21 (01:51:20):
You pack your car up and walk away Sometimes that
you know when you're because you're locked in there. And
sometimes it might go back to the car and listen
to some music, or people come up and ask you
about it and you're you give them a bit of
a spell.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
Yeah, you often buy your car talking about is that.

Speaker 21 (01:51:46):
Right, sometimes not all the time, but most of the
time I'm out and about looking at cars and buying
food and myself. Yeah, so every destination is a bit different.
But tell you what, all the school kids on the
side of the roads all the way down Mangare Road.

(01:52:08):
Whe we came back into New Polymouth on Friday night
after Inglewood.

Speaker 9 (01:52:15):
Was packed.

Speaker 21 (01:52:17):
People sitting outside their houses on deck chairs and drink
having a few cold ones.

Speaker 13 (01:52:25):
Yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
What sort of car have you got?

Speaker 21 (01:52:28):
I've got a Dodge Challenger.

Speaker 3 (01:52:30):
No, yeah, what color?

Speaker 21 (01:52:32):
It's a of mango orange, a nice color. Yeah, black bonnet,
matt the black bonnet roof and boot and a stripe
down the side with ta on it. It was a
tip of the hat to the nineteen seventies Dodge Challenger.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
What year is it's a recent twenty twenty three isn't No.

Speaker 21 (01:52:54):
It's twenty and seventeen. But it's mint like brand new,
only done thirty k Why Yeah, six point four leadout
or three ninety two cubans a big block hemy. And
there's another one that coming up on the twenty first

(01:53:15):
and twenty second of March, and that's in Moronsville, and
that's a mo Power event, so anything. I don't know
if you remember I text you a while ago about
my power yep, I do remember. Yeah, that's a division
of Chrysler, so chrys will make human motives. So there'll

(01:53:39):
be heaps of Old Valiance and all that sort of stuff.
It's a two day event, so anyone likes the Old
Valiance and all that sort of stuff, get along. They've
got heaps of stuff going on there as well.

Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
Sounds pretty timed consuming. Where did you live locally anyway?
Do your Raimond I live in Elpham.

Speaker 9 (01:53:59):
Yes, at Eltham.

Speaker 21 (01:54:01):
Yeah, I'm a bit like you, mini farmer.

Speaker 3 (01:54:04):
Okay, yeah, life sentence block to hear from you, Raymond,
thank you seventeen past eleven. I wait one hundred and
eighty eight twenty nine to ninety to text Pablovers and
oh it's interesting. Yeah, I should have asked me how
on the Americana has gone on for But sounds pretty
boring just to oh I shouldn't say that, but yeah, wow,
I just sort of drive your carrents it around in it.
I guess car people are car people, aren't they. All

(01:54:28):
the lines are free. I'll just talk aloud for a while.
The other thing that I don't know what your opinion is,
and I've got no information, but it's not really a
story I'll follow. But this high rise building in Auckland,
what's going to happen to that? Because if it's got
dodgy concrete and already, as we heard in the news
there that the rio the reinforcing steel might be if

(01:54:50):
no one wants, what happens to that? And who would
pay to dismantle if it needs to be deconstructed or
to just stay there until someone comes along with the
money then and the wherewith order to rebuild. It's a
pretty fascinating story. It's a big building. I mean, it's
a really big building, So you've got something to say
about that. I'd be kind of curious because, I mean,

(01:55:11):
you can't have a building that it become a danger
after a while, because there's already been kind of thrill
seekers climbing it up and scaling the train and videoing it.
So yeah, she's a real problem there, the high rise.
I don't know what happens there, but it's got me
sort of vaguely, vaguely concerned. I don't know what the
value of the you know, I mean, it might be

(01:55:33):
a stage where it's going to It's going to cost
it more to take over a half an inshed building
and to rebuild it than it would be to start
from scratch because you've got concrete with bubbles in it
and stuff. Oh well, of course, been that and the
all black coach A not to worry about. Good evening, Lorraine,
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 20 (01:55:50):
I just wanted to tell you about my pavlo over
experience and putting it on for the family's Christmas. That
we were in Colorado and Denver, which is a mile
high city, and I couldn't get it to work attempts
and it was a soggy mess in the oven. But
I've aentually got in touch with Sir Google and he

(01:56:13):
told me what to do and it turned out perfectly.
I can't for the life of me think now what
I had to do that was different because it was
quite stressful at the time.

Speaker 16 (01:56:21):
So are we talking?

Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
Are we talking A pavlover at altitude is different?

Speaker 20 (01:56:26):
Yes, wouldn't work. We'll just you know, just I've made
a million pavlovers in my time and always did the Yeah,
it was such a family thing for us, so I
had to have one, but you can't go and buy
them either because they just don't have them there. The
Americans just loved it and I covered it in cream

(01:56:49):
and decorated it in strawberries and blueberries and any berries
I could get on.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
The top that looked. That's the way it looks fantastic,
doesn't it?

Speaker 20 (01:56:59):
Yeah? With it with Kiwi fruit. We did find some
over there, so the green was nice.

Speaker 14 (01:57:04):
But it's.

Speaker 9 (01:57:06):
Yes.

Speaker 20 (01:57:07):
My sister this last Christmas made a Lamington wreath, so
you get the large lamington, fill them with cream and
then decorate the top like sit them around like a
giant wreath, and then decorated them like you would have
pavlover cream and all the things on top of them.
It was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (01:57:27):
Really is it a nice city, Denver?

Speaker 20 (01:57:30):
It's amazing. It's a really really go ahead city. Lots
of activities, lots of outdoor activities and things. They have
a very good summer apart from the dreadful winter they
get with all the ice and snow and things. But
they have squirrels that millions of them in the trees

(01:57:52):
that are just like well, I thought they were very cute.
They're beautiful tails. They have millions of hummingbirds, which are
just a joy to watch out the window, you know,
and winter fire was not much happening. I was totally
entertained by the squirrels that'll do anything for a feed is.
They put bird feeders out and then they try and

(01:58:14):
discourage the squirrels from climbing down onto the bird feeders
and eating all this stuff. But the hummingbirds were really beautiful,
you know, they're so entertaining. We don't have those sort
of things here. There's not much you can sit in
a window and watch out, you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
Know, and tell me something, Lorraine, will it been the
Mile High City? How does that translate? How do you
know you're at altitude? How does that make things about
a day? How do you experience that altitude?

Speaker 20 (01:58:47):
Very hard to breathe? Okay, you have to become acclimatized.
You can't just arrive there, get off the plane and
then go and run a mile or do exercise or anything. Headaches,
the lack of oxygen in there will give some people
headaches so much so that they have to leave. They
can't stay there. So unless you can acclimatize, it's a

(01:59:11):
real problem. And you can, yes, yes, it's it's yeah,
I like outside exercise, and yeah you go to Climba
Hill and then you stop halfway because you just couldn't
get enough air and well enough oxygen in the air.
And so yeah, it's but people won't they become acclimatized,

(01:59:35):
do really well. You know, I have two adult sons
and all the grandchildren married to American girls, all living
over there and doing very well. They're surely isolated in Colorado.
Like they don't put the TV on, so they don't
hear anything about Trump or what's happening. They just don't

(01:59:56):
know and they ignore it all.

Speaker 3 (01:59:58):
Yeah, okay, it sounds yeah, it sounds like pleas nice
to talk Lorraine. Hello, Neil, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (02:00:06):
I've got a different take on Pablovers. Have you heard
of a pevroll?

Speaker 3 (02:00:12):
Someone else said about a pever but is it called
a pever role.

Speaker 5 (02:00:17):
Yes, you're basically spread it out on your paper on
the tray, then for a coconut and bake it in
the oven. Basically, you take it out, you flip it
over on anodder tray, and just down the middle of it,
you put your kaream in your fruit and just slip
both sides over.

Speaker 7 (02:00:35):
And roll it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:35):
And what's the advantage, Neil, what's different with that?

Speaker 15 (02:00:40):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:00:41):
Just something but you leaque and different with the coconut
I suppose, and the fact that it's in a roll,
and yeah, just something, just another take on it, I suppose.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
But it tastes the same. But just coconut, is that right?

Speaker 5 (02:00:54):
Yeah? Theresactly saying just because a texture of the pebble
over itself is the same, it's just that you tasted
coconut on it.

Speaker 3 (02:01:06):
You could put a coconut on top of a pavlover.
I've never heard anyone suggest that.

Speaker 5 (02:01:11):
Yeah, I don't know how We'll work on a normal
pads part of it all up into that into a
big lump and make your normal pebble over. But this
is actually I say, is spread out the wood to
the tray on your baking paper and then sprinkle it
with coconut and then take it out, flip it over

(02:01:32):
and and basically put your cream and your fruit across
the middle of it, and then bring sort of boats
ends over and sort of roller if you want. And yeah,
I guess it's just another another idea. It's just another tape.
But I'm easily have to make one of punctions.

Speaker 9 (02:01:55):
Come up on it.

Speaker 3 (02:01:57):
Good from your Neil, Thank you. I do something that
the pev over with that Lorraine was talking about. She
was talking about because higher altitude. This is what I
can't understand. Oh I see. I was thinking why at

(02:02:17):
lower altitude? So why at high altitude because the low
air pressure? Why would they not rise? Surely they're more
likely to rise with low air pressure. But what happens is,
I think, is they rise too quickly and collapse. That
makes more sense. So now I've worked that when I
feel okay about that, You're a lot of science to

(02:02:39):
a Pavlova, but a vegan Pavlova with the aqua farber.
That's an interesting kettle of fish. Marcu's my favorite natilla.
My favorite toy has natalla haese like chocolate and caramel.
You see, too sweet. I needed to say something to
cut through the sweetness of it. How is your knowledge
on New Zealand suit structures? What are the second tallest
building in Auckland and one of the tallest buildings in Hamilton?
Totalong I wanted in Chrost Church to lead it in Vocago.

(02:03:01):
I've got no idea, he said, look that interested. Here
in Topal we are three fifty minutes above sea level.
We have to use Topal eggs ladder altitude to get
pablovers to rise. Yeah, Marcus, not all sellers want to
use pin are not happy with trade announcement day. I've

(02:03:22):
never had a problem with bag transferreds. We'll not longer
be listening under the dictatorship. The local hospice shop is
the winner. I think the local hospice shops are about
to collapse under the volume of stuff.

Speaker 16 (02:03:32):
They have.

Speaker 3 (02:03:34):
Too many clothes, too much old stuff. Gosh, I was
at the hospice shop in Franklin the other day in Hamilton,
man oh manp Wise, Franklin's just full of op shops,
all that stuff. I see one of the op shops
hat of sciences. We do not accept stuff from timur Shine.

(02:03:57):
All the shops with this disposable fashion, and good on
them for that. But yeah, just too much stuff. There's
acres of people just processing bits because surely it can't
be biased for it all. So you don't know where
we are with that peak stuff. I think we've got
too much.
