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):
Welcome, good evening, It's Thursday at Marcus httil midnight tonight.
We talk a lot about the weather and the weather
has been threatening for a while. It looks like it's
really kicked in today. So I am here until midnight tonight.
If there is information you have or there are things
you need tonight, don't hesitate to get in touch. It
seems as tho we've got two areas where it's bad,
and correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to be

(00:33):
blowing a howling gale and Wellington it might have eased.
I'm not sure. Seems to be particularly bad in Canterbury
and the places I'm looking at in Canterbury a little
river and Acheroha. Now they're evacuating. Sorry I shouldn't say that.
That sounds extreme. There are areas that they think they

(00:53):
might have to evacuate because of slips. The wind's got
up to one fifty k's so very strong.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Wins.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
So to start the show tonight, I wouldn't mind hearing
from some people just to tell them what it's like
where they are. It seems in christ Church, Leston, Duleston, Lincoln,
those areas around Southbridge, they've got a lot of water.
There seems to be flooding in Little River. There's photos
of those silo hotels with water well up them. Kariah.

(01:23):
There seems to be some sort of situation going on
there also, So you've got something to say about that,
give us a get in touch eight hundred eighty eight.
Now there is there has been a landslide in Littleton

(01:43):
and crews are on the scene. That's fire and emergency
crews are on the scene at Cressy Terrace. They are
looking there where the houses need to be evacuated. So
it seems as though around the hills in Canterbury she's

(02:06):
really bucketing down. If you've got some information about that,
or if you just want to have a bit of
a chat, there might be a situation where you lost
power and you might not know when the power is
coming on. We can research that for you, so do
get in touch. The number is eight hundred eighty ten

(02:27):
eighty and nine to nine two to text. Yeah, Cressy
Terrace is the place I'm looking at that now on
the internet and you will know where that is. And
that's one that goes right round almost above the entrance
of the tunnel. I think, so right round from Corsey Bay,

(02:49):
right round little to it's you know, it's where you
imagine a slip would be. So if you have got
some information Akaroa or also to those situations with the huts,
the Salurn huts says quite a bit of rain there.
I'd be curious to know what the lie of the
land is there also. So yeah, that's kind of my
main focus for tonight is to keep you updated with
what's going on with the weather. I think for Wellington,

(03:11):
particularly in all fed Obay and places like that, they
are racing four high tide. They're calling them our monster
waves and winds of one fifty kilometers per hour. There's
some pretty narly shots. There's some of those boat sheds.
You wonder how they're surviving high tides around eight pm.

(03:35):
So it's just happening about now, and Willington City Council's
strong advising residents of the South coast, those in all
fedor Obay to consider staying elsewhere, somewhere, staying somewhere else
tonight if possible. So I don't know what's happened there
after five point thirty. You cannot access your house and

(03:56):
christ Church there is a state of emergency. I think
the heath rific went over in a place called Saint
Martin's rescued people rescued from water log cars. But it's
not just within the city of christ It it's also
in the Selwyn district. Even before today they were saying

(04:17):
in Willington you should stay away from the doors in
the windows. Goodness, I've never heard that before. There will
be no flights. There might be one taking off for
Sydney around midnight. We will watch that with interest. But
just the latest reports there has been a landslide at
Littleton by the way. I haven't heard any reports about

(04:40):
people being badly behaved like Rubbineckers, or people driving too
quickly through floods and pushing water into people's front yard.
So well done people for that. Yeah, flood's not nice.
It's not pleasant at all. But if you've got some
information for us. By the way, Ashburton's rainfall syth a

(05:01):
text seventy millimeters yesterday in seventy seven millimeters today. Now
someone said the train track has been washed out between
Wellington and Patawny, haven't they just worked on that over
the summer, or maybe they're still working on it. Thank you.
Are you able to find if there's any trains from
Wellington to Lower Hut, Well imagine if it's washed out.

(05:22):
Probably not, by the way. I haven't got any confirmation
of that yet. That's just a textas so someone else
might have some more information about that Ashburton rainfall. Seventy
mills yesterday, seventy seven mills today. Mike has just done
that Emataka Hills, he said. The twists and turns on

(05:42):
that Emataco Hills remattacka hills with rain and diesel all combined.
A few hearts stopping moments, so it seems that it's
fairly sketchy. The wind is still raging in Lower Hut.
Plenty of places without power, thank you. Someone said how
many zoos have closed? Well, imagine all the zoos will
have closed. Funny enough, the ballet is not happening in
Wellington tonight. Stop the ballet. I don't think it's because

(06:08):
there's wind on the stage. I think probably because I
thought it's not worth their hessel. Probably enough places to
put the umbrellas, or it's not umbrella with us, So
if you've got updates. Slit's hear from you, by the
way on the Midlink website and I will go to that.
Here's what they are saying on the Midlink website because

(06:29):
I'll be doing this for people they haven't got power
slow to upload for heavy traffic. Obviously, Why did apple
line several severe weather warning? Why an apple Line Marston
went into and in six eighteen went into the mast
and services are canceled without a replacement service. Eastbourne services

(06:53):
will not travel past Marine Drive from five pm this evening,
travels as possible to get home safely. And here we go.
This is the person what they've taxed. It's exactly true.
The Hut Valley Line services are replaced by limited buses
due to track wash out between Wellington and pitt Tawney.
I was understanding they just don't work on that line.

(07:14):
Am I right about that or wrong? Did they not
close the trains in the summer to do work there?
I hope that's not the case. That's past the nail
On and Gorge. So there we go. That's information I've got.
If you've got anything any more information for us, cause
imagine this will be an evolving story tonight. With the landslide,
and there was certainly some flooding both within Canterbury and

(07:36):
within christ Jute itself. If you want to tell me
how windy it is at your place. Oh, by the
way too, the obligatory shots of the trampolines, they almost
should be charging people that don't anchor the trampolines because
once it goes one twenty, you're trampling Deborne and people
need to do something about that. So yes, you might
have some information about that also eight hundred and eighty

(07:57):
ten eighty nine two nine to detect. If you are
a truck driver up and down the country, just know
what the conditions are like you people know it more
than most because with those big sided trucks, you're going
to be feeding the wind, aren't you. That's what we're
on about tonight. If you've got some information, it'll be
nice to hear from you. I will do my damn
just to keep you updated, particularly if there is any

(08:19):
sort of information I need to impart for your safety,
I will do that for you. I've got on three
or four sort of fast moving blogs to work out
what's happening. Although the Juno's will be exhausted they'll be
heading home before too long. It'll be up to you
and me to work out what's going on now. The
other thing I can tell you, and that's from the

(08:40):
Wellington Phoenix. So the Wellington Phoenix game was supposed to
be tomorrow at seven point thirty. That's now been rescheduled
to Sunday, May the Fourth Star Wars Day at five pm.
So yeah, tickets remain valid. Refans are available on request.

(09:02):
That's all the information I've got. If you got I
thought you had more inputs for me, But if you've
got something to let me know about, get in touch.
I want to know what it's like where you are
basically and what sort of a day you've had. This
is anything you need, if you need, taps, everything that
we might be able to help people out, Marcus, I
have it on good authority. The National Firefighter Comps and

(09:23):
Wellington tomorrow have been canceled.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I got told not to turn up to my night
shift in the Wellington c CBD due to extremely high winds.
Apparently there are projectiles flying around the streets like rubbish
bins etc. How's the bucket found? And probably still the
same no power in Geraldine since four forty five, saying

(09:50):
about nine pm back on, thank you, sending to your text.
I don't know if the firefighter comps and Wellington are facetious.
So that's the real deal as that sort of fake true.
That's not fake news, that's a true story. Wow. Hey,

(10:11):
just so people know, I have become somewhat of a
South and weather apologist, just to let you know that
these storms are all happening in the middle of the
South Island, not the south of the South Island. It's
been kind of fairy benine day down here, not overly

(10:31):
cold and overly wet. So yeah, we're knotting the strong
ones down there. It just seems to have kind of
come into the waste of the South Island, the middle
bit and the rest seems fine. Nineteen past eight looking
forward to your calls have Peter Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
It we had no flooding here and New Plymouth on
all that way. It's reisen me strong ones. I believe
this morning between Englewood and New Plymouth. I really believe
there are three trucks they sort of involved when they
once flipped on outside as one of those curtain raisers.
So you started to go all the way around the
back road sort of around the country roads get to Haa.
So it was at.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
The road the road closed, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Between basically Englewood and TARIKEI OK.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
There apparently three trucks involved. Apparently one was a curtain raiser.
Later on the side.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
How much when would how much? When would it take
tong over curtain raiser?

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Oh, I'm not too sure, Mark, I say, I don't
take I think I wouldn't be too sure on that.
It takes a fear of bit those. It must have
been reasonably strong to flip one of those over, you know.
But I think what happens is quite often there. Well, yeah,
I shouldn't say it makes no difference, but ye're on
a straight road, if you know, if he's depends, I
think what you got on the truck turf you've got
to fall load your party will keep you on the road.

(11:47):
But it might have been I don't know what it
was full or whatever. There's nothing nothing that pottyfe had
to marry. What's in the paper. But they're going to
take photo shots of it or whatever. But year if
they're in you probably wouldn't take much because you haven't
got the weight.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
You know, that's right. They'd probably know. If I was
driving one, I'd probably fill up bottles with water and
put them in the back to put them at wat
down on the strong winds.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
The backup you reckon.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, Hey, what do you like?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
What do you like for?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
What do you like for? How do you handle gentle criticism?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah to bad, I can handle it. You I'm pretty fixed,
goodn't they?

Speaker 7 (12:21):
Yeah, okay, you carry on?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
The curtain raiser? Is the event before the main event?

Speaker 8 (12:32):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Yeah, Stone, Yeah, but most you find that the trucks,
they always have the curtains closed, don't they.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
But but what I think, what I'm saying is those trucks.
I think what they call those trucks is a curtainsider.
I think I think a curtain was thinking about that,
because I think a curtain raiser is like you've got
a main act in the act comes on beforehand, you

(12:59):
well well handled, Peter, Peter. Another question for you if
you go to do your washing, If you go to
do your washing right, yeah, and there's no soap powder, yeah,
and you can't be bother going to the shop because
you're in a hurry. What would be the best thing

(13:20):
to use.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, you could use vinegar.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Okay, so what's the what.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Is that?

Speaker 9 (13:31):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
What you'd go to straight away?

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Real bad situation. Is you really needed something washed? I
probably wouldn't even worry about as long as you've got
hot water. Just take you away up the soapful for
one occasion and just the hot water.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Would you use bathroom soap or would you use dishwashing liquid?

Speaker 5 (14:00):
I suppose you could use. No dishwashing liquid be just
as good aspose. It must be better than normal bath soap.
They wouldn't it need dish washing? Let's probably be right too.
I don't know, but they come out all right as
long as well. You use putty in an expensive way
of doing it, but it's probably better enough.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Would you Would you be better off using that? Orld
you better off getting a bar of soap like your
Night's castile and getting the cheese grater on the fine
parmesan cheese thing and putting that into the dispenser.

Speaker 10 (14:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
I suppose. I haven't tried it, But suppose if you
want to give something a shot, I suppose, well, what
you got to lose the end of the day depends
how far are you away from a supermarket.

Speaker 11 (14:38):
I suppose.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Like a mile, but was in a hurry.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah, what depends is in a pretty mile you normally
need to shoot down.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I never thought of using vinegar. It does say baking,
so to a vinegar.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, vinegars. You always hear vinegars and baking, say, does
meant to be two good things with cleaning those things,
isn't it?

Speaker 11 (15:02):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Well, it's interesting, Peter. I appreciate that. Thank you for
the curtain raiser. I enjoy that. Cheap is nine from nine.
My name is Marcus Welcome. I don't even know why
they called a curtain side because it's not really a curtain,
is it. Don't draw the curtain. There'll be more for certain,
you know, I get in touch. My name's Marcus. On
the weather. If you if you had a dish, if
you out of washing powder, what's the next best thing

(15:24):
to use? You will have done this. Don't be too proud.
We've all done it. I use everything for everything. Lucky
for Kurt. Then what does that mean? I've used sugar
shop and the sugar soap in the washing machine works
a treat. Dishwashing liquid froths up too much. You know,

(15:47):
I have the reason I'm saying I think I've ruined
one of Vanessa's dresses. I just checked everything in with
dish washing liquids. Oh, here we go. Didn't smell right,
smelled like lemon, Marcus, I missed your question about the
truck from sing Was there a question about the truck?
I don't know if there was surely a curtain side.
Who wouldn't be is why would a curtain side to

(16:09):
be tip here than the container because the container's got
more weight than it would that be right? I guess
that probably is Marcus. While flatting, I used.

Speaker 12 (16:18):
Laundry powder in the dishwasher, and our dishes smelt of
your lang ye lang for about a month.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
What's your lang lang? I'm always using different I'm quite
versatile in the family home. What's your l agyr lang?
It's got a calming effect on the heart and breath,
Your lang ye lang, Marcus. I would grate bath soap.
Dishwashing liquid would be too harsh. Don't's worry abort anything

(16:48):
be too harsh?

Speaker 11 (16:48):
Are they.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Are you talking about dish liquid? We'd a thread when
a soap powder used sunlight liquid must have put too
much in bubbled out the door. Your lang you la
never said your lang y lang oh shampool. I hadn't
thought of using shampoo. It's not a bad idea. Actually
should have used that. It's in the other room.

Speaker 13 (17:12):
Though.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Of course your lang ye lang Marcus powers out due
to several trees down in the Blue Mountains and upper art.
It's still blowing hard, but the rain has eased, the
fire is roaring, and the Monopoly border is out, Henry,
how do you feel about Monopoly? If I made a

(17:33):
list of all the board games I've played in my life,
and it'd be quite a long list. At the very bottom,
well below every other board game, would be Monopoly. But
there's only one thing worse than Monopoly, and it's not

(17:55):
below Monopoly on the list because it's a subgroup of Monopoly,
and that is all those stupid versions of Monopoly now
that like in New Zealand and you can buy and
sell like Fjordland or Milford Sound or it just makes
a mockery of the whole system. The whole point of

(18:17):
Monopoly was buying and selling real estate, not buying and
selling things that aren't for sale. Honestly drives me crazy.
Every small town's got their own Monopoly set with things
that have been sold and shouldn't be sold, the tipping
of trucks, the curtain raiser, all to do with a
service era resisting the wind? Why large vehicles to Bova.

(18:40):
I really thought, for a second, a glorious second, I
might have a fight with Pete about curtain raisers. And
I think you find they're called curtain because often sometimes
if you could correct, I don't often correct people on
the radio, because why should I. I don't like being corrected,
but often you're correct. Oh, you think you find they
called curtain raisers?

Speaker 12 (18:58):
Marcus?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Who which you want to bet? Five to nine? Ukuess
well on a holiday and Picago rest. I was told
you're not at the old building opposite the Aspen any longer.
So where do you broadcast from now? Cheers Andrew, longtime listener.
I can tell exactly where we broadcast opposite all all

(19:20):
all Ay with the purple car and next to chipmunks
and chipmunks are getting a new layout. Just when your
kids are too old for chipmunks, they get a new layout.
What are the chances, Josh Marcus? Welcome?

Speaker 10 (19:36):
Hi Marcus?

Speaker 3 (19:36):
How are you Josh? Ten out of ten? Ye lang Ylang,
what do you got.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
I just heard you talk about monopoly and I read
something today. They did a experiment in university where they
allowed a player to start with more money and stuff
to try and simulated in d yes, yes, so so. So.

(20:02):
The setup was it was just two players and one
of the players has got to start with double the
money and they got to use both dice to move
around the world the board and the and the poorer
player only had one die to move around.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
The world because the more the more you move, the
more you'll pass go.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, exactly, So you get two hundred for passing go.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
And I think there was some commentator that said that
people are paying monopoly, people in the poorer areas should
be given less money and just one dice to reflect
their circumstances in life.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (20:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
The reason why they did the experiment was they wanted
to see the like the psychological reactions of the players
because they were recording them. And what they found was
the guy, the player that that had the better start,
the player that had the more money artificially tat has

(21:01):
pieces louder and was more confident and was out when
they were playing the game and talk down to the
to the player. And then the final push they asked,
was why do you think you won the game?

Speaker 11 (21:18):
To the to the player that started.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
And they thought they would have had more and they
thought they would have had more skill.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Right, yeah, they said, oh I played the game better
and it was chance and whatnot, and they and they didn't.
They didn't think they won because they had a better start.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I got to go, Josh, but thank you, Marcus. Stopped
doing the housework. You're obviously good at it. I needed
some clothes washed. They do saying you don't. They do
say you shouldn't use dishwashing liquid. The SuDS can overpower
your motor and blow the motor. Oh boy, dish washing
liquid and washing machine. No no, no, too much surfactant

(21:55):
SuDS in This can involve an expensive in my case,
fish and pike or call out. Do you remember lux
flakes would probably break up, grate up some hands so
open chucking the muslim Muslim bag or a knotted sock.
Love a knotted sock, Marcus, I'm soap, various dishwashing liquid
and the washing machine. Dish washing shampoo, shampoo for dish

(22:16):
washing liquid, a slightly wet barriw soap for a deodorant.
Soap is soap?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Monopoly and marriage kill? I love you work, Nikki. No
one's loving monopoly, but by I source a lot of
arguments with them, families. There are so many joyful board
games monopolies not why do we talk about monopoly? Are
someone's at home playing monopoly because they've got no power?
Looking for your updates? Guys, someone's washed their clothes with jiff. Really,

(22:42):
I'm looking for weather updates, although they're few and far between.
If you have got a weather update, yay, I'd like
to hear that. I want to know how strong the
winds were blowing. I did see the obligatory trampoline into
a building photo quite frightening that where'd that happen? When
I was on air and it wasn't good? Kids were terrified.

(23:04):
Were such a huge bang at the side of the
house plum. We never knew whose trampoline it was. We
did forensics. It must have traveled about two hundred meters.
And sometimes in the street people look at me sideways.

(23:25):
I think, well, I wonder if they're looking like because
of the trample? You never do know, do you in
a community? Because I don'd feel guilty? Well, I wouldn't
really forgiveness and all of that. So the weather and
what happens if you ran out of laundry powder, what
would you use? Never thought to use vinegar? Well, I

(23:47):
don't think vineg would smell. They're good. Also, looking for
people at the seal and huts, all these places I'm
kind of familiar with. I just want to know how
people are fearing with these floods. Are they evacuating, what
is happening? Anything else you want to talk about Tonight too, God,
it'd be nice to hear from you. The more the
merrier tonight eight hundred eighty ten eighty rain stopped in Canterbury,

(24:15):
just drizzling now, thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
Ha.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
I have an email that starts with I prefer this
not to be read out on air if possible. Of course,
I won't read that out on the air. I wont
ever mention your name, but thank you, Oh eight hundred
eighty Teddy, My name is Marcus. Welcome HDDED twelve. The
latest from the Wellington Region Emergency Management offers statement. It's

(24:52):
been a windy day in the region. Met Service are
estimating winds to begin to ease into this evening, but
they sure are howling at the moment. This is nicely written.
People are experiencing power out of you throughout parts of
the region's fish in the Hut Valley. Power companies are
working as quickly as possible to resolve the issues from
information head to dub dub dub dot Electricity, dub dub

(25:14):
dot outages, dot Bowerco, dubdub Electro dot co dot in Z.
A number of roads are closed, including all Pardo Bay Road,
Marine Drive and Cape Palliser Road. Check in with your
local council specifics. Trains on the Hut Valley Line have

(25:34):
suspended you to a washout on the line. Has anyone
seen that wash out and can tell me how bad
it is? Keep an eye on metlink website and an
app for the up todate information. Remember to stay indoors
and avoid unnecessary travel. We are still on board monitoring
the situation. Will keep you updated with any further information.

(25:55):
It's a good updates. So that's the latest from Wellington
Region Emergency Management Office. REMO doesn't say it's called REMA.
I'm just making the acronum there, So yeah, there we go.
If you've got an the updates on the weather, if
you are driving trucks or a curtain sider. The wind
has dropped from screaming and masters and still not a

(26:17):
zephyr though, that's from Mike Marcus. What about using nappy
sand in the wash from of course you should use that.
I just panic and use the dish washing liquid. Didn't
seem to sudsy. It could blow the pump with the SuDS.
That washing machines would be more robust anyway. Oh cold

(26:42):
night at the country. Everyone seems to be wrapped up
in bed. Are you cheapest this day? In nineteen sixty one,
the first major airplane hijacking within the US. A man
forced a commercial airliner on route from Miami to Key West.
Did he tour to Cuba? There you go? Eighteen forty

(27:05):
the world's first and he of postage stamber is issued.
That might be the penny Black. There is an article
on the Daily Mail about this way. Should never trust
the Daily Mail. There's an article about the Daily Mail
about Gisbon being at the world's scariest airport. We're pilot

(27:27):
to have to avoid trains on the runway. I would
say there's never a train on that runway. The lines
closed for a number of years, and I don't think
there's local domestic shunts, so that, my friends, is fake news.
There used to be trains crossing, but very regularly, like
maybe two a week. I can promise you that something

(27:49):
I know a bit about. It's not a thing to
sort yourself out daily mail Toyota to become the all
Blacks key sponsor. What will they be driving? I do wonder.
You know everyone's got these giant utes now, these ranger
utes right his giant utes? Do you think they get
sick of squeezing out of their doors because the car

(28:13):
parks don't fit them and every time they come into
a car park there's no room to open their doors
and get out. It drives me crazy. There's nothing worse
than trying to get out of a door when it
only opens like a little inch. Anyway, here in midnight,

(28:35):
my name is Marcus Jerry. Welcome, good evening, Yeah, good evening.

Speaker 14 (28:39):
Just to further problem to your laundry, and what power
are you going to use if you're that desperate?

Speaker 15 (28:46):
That means you.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
Probably run out of close as well.

Speaker 16 (28:49):
Your life's a bit of a mess, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
I'm just up for a conversation, started Jerry, Oh, okay,
I just thought, you know, if you couldn't wait a day,
you must run out of close or there might be
some special shirt you aren't clean for a special event
or something you want to become. You don't have become
too judgmental in life, Jerry.

Speaker 16 (29:10):
Oh, no, I suggested shampoo actually used before.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, so you've been in that situation.

Speaker 10 (29:17):
Absolutely, shampoo did it fine?

Speaker 4 (29:19):
They smelled better too.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, I would have you would have gone the vinegar.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Ah, Well, I like vinegar on chips, but I don't
think i'd wash your clothes.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Doesn't even smell. I'm surprised because I can't work out
how it'd froth up and do any good.

Speaker 12 (29:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
I just did not think about done.

Speaker 16 (29:38):
It would smell like a chip shop.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, it seems like you put your washing with food,
which seems weird, doesn't it It does? Yeah, No, take
that advice. What was the thing you so needed so
quickly to not go to the shops?

Speaker 16 (29:54):
Oh well, it was just general, just favorite T shirts
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
I'm hearing it, Jerry. That's son of my situation as well.
Does anyone have a barometer to wead the weather? I
remember my dad tapping his every day. Jerry needs to
lighten up. Cheers Terry Marcus. To make liquid washing liquid
grete soap and dissolve in boiled water. Bottle up you

(30:19):
have something next time. Keep warm, Karen, Love you. Karen
Marcus Live weather update from Winnington for you at nine
thirteen pm. It's windy and Wellington. Oh this is good.
This is good information. Actually, Marcus, I have a cake
of sunlight soap on my laundry window. Legend if I

(30:39):
run out of laundry powder, I just chucked the whole
cake in the machine and rescue it at the end
of the cycle. What about those cages you put your
sunlight soap and then shake it back and forward. It's
pretty old. Its glare quite like those. Of course you do.

Speaker 12 (30:59):
Anyway washing without soap powder because you're really break your
washing should have used this force.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I'll be surprised. Jason skarg Is welcome.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
There you go in, Marca.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Jason, how are you going?

Speaker 17 (31:14):
All right? You're not there? Not there? How you You
mentioned sunlight soap and I've got to say, just just
brought me back to when I used to clean my shirts,
my collars and cups with sunlight soap.

Speaker 10 (31:29):
Just the best.

Speaker 17 (31:31):
Then it's just the best thing since side spread when
it comes to cleaning those things. I said to my
steps on, because he's just that of a new job
and he's gotta wear he's got to wear a shirt
and tie. And he sits to me, he goes, I
just can't seem to get my my collars clean. I
mean sunlight soap, And he goes, what's that?

Speaker 7 (31:49):
And I'm like, oh, stop it.

Speaker 17 (31:52):
Let me introduce you, mate to the best thing. And yeah,
sunlight soap. Scrub, rub it together, and it just comes
up ment because.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
The weird thing about sunlights is it must have been
it must have had some perfume of some sense, but
not one that you ever use, because it didn't. It
was there was just probably enough to kind of hide
the bloober smell. Would that be the way it works?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (32:25):
Yeah, yeah, it was just there was It was non intrusive,
you know it was. It was why I smell as
you go? Yeah I can. I can pick up a
cake of slight soap.

Speaker 18 (32:34):
I can smell it.

Speaker 17 (32:35):
But it's not overpowering, but really just just the just
what it does and its ability to do the job
and get it done quickly. It's like amazing.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yeah, still I still use it now I'm a fame.

Speaker 17 (32:54):
I've still got the little carton, you know what I
mean with with you know the various blocks to it.
S above ship in the laundry yep.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Absolutely as not one of those tapes if you leave
anywhere at perishes, you know it's always going to be
and then you leave it out in the windows, so
it goes hard with kind of cracks in it, like
old school cracks.

Speaker 17 (33:14):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, And it's still good. You don't
need to you don't need to go I need to
throw this away. No, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
What a lot of pilarva. Those shirt and collar jobs
were really all.

Speaker 17 (33:27):
That work, especially if you had a white shirt as well.
I mean, it was just annoying to just sit there
going I've got through, I've got through your wash three
times and it's still not right. Sunlight so done, dusted.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Comes up, sparkling dis your aunt to Jason, thank you,
good evening, Paul here, goods loving here.

Speaker 16 (33:54):
When I was about I must be in a third form,
so it must mean about.

Speaker 10 (34:02):
I.

Speaker 16 (34:03):
There was a place in you used to call itself
Gilbert Soaps, and they make two types of soap. One
was a sunlight and the other one was a sand soap.
And we went there like a bit of a school
too or whatever, and they used to render down the
sat and they make these blocks of soap that were

(34:27):
probably in the bad old terms, probably a foot long,
and they were you know, say, probably three inches scub
well a foot long. And yeah, and everyone, to be
honest with your had them and their laundry, whether they
were using the sand soap to get the extra dirty

(34:49):
stuff off or the the sunlight soap to make things
go a little bit nicer on the on the white
shirts and whatnot.

Speaker 8 (34:59):
So it was.

Speaker 16 (35:00):
It was quite an interesting thing when I was a kid,
and it's still to this day sticks in my mind.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
It was.

Speaker 16 (35:05):
It was quite interesting.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Is Gilbert still Is Gilbert still there?

Speaker 6 (35:11):
No?

Speaker 16 (35:11):
It's not no, No, that particular, that particular factor. He's
been been long gone now for probably forty years.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
But because I remember, because Fanganui must have a bit
of a history about making soap, because I remember talking
about soap on one of these shows a while ago.
I think all the soap for the prisons is made
in wangan Nui.

Speaker 16 (35:33):
It possibly could have been, well, probably toothpaste.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I think that I forget what the name of the
company was. It's kind of a no frilled soap and toothpaste.

Speaker 18 (35:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (35:43):
Well, interesting thing actually because all the toothpaste now I
believe is important here into woman need by guy. But
I believe it all comes from China. But the grit
aspect of it is not. It's not a crazy what's

(36:06):
that stuff that's it comes on the ground. I just
can't remember his name is.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
But they use now count like a like a calcium
or not a sand what we're saying, what would be
the great.

Speaker 16 (36:18):
Tooth space stuff? But I just can't remember what they
and they and they and they like they crush it
down really finally, But I believe now either to this
day you're going to hate that to hear this, but
I believe that the toothpaste has actually got quite a

(36:38):
bit of a specios that, yeah, to make the aspect
of it.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, and would that be true? You want to know
you even been one of these farmers' markets, Yes, yep.
There's always local people making kind of mechrons or candles
and stuff. You think someone will started making their own
New Zealand toothpaste, wouldn't you they start doing that because

(37:08):
you never see sort of artisan toothpastes, do you.

Speaker 16 (37:11):
No, they make all brains of soap and everything else.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Everyone's always making soap paste, soap, soap, that little she bars,
but never toothpaste.

Speaker 16 (37:21):
No, it's so true, it's so true. You might be
onto it. You might be the next soap of what
toothpaste guru?

Speaker 6 (37:28):
And you?

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yeah, I could be Luscio's paste.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, you could be free.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Are you looking for a business opportunity yourself?

Speaker 16 (37:36):
Paul, No, no, no, no, no, I'm looking to retire,
not to get into it. It could be Marcus's golden
smile or something like that. Hen you're gonnavigate.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Brilliant, Paul. No one's ever done there they eveyone's doing
peanut butter, aren't they? Or soap. I'm sick of the
different types of peanut butter. I mean, how hard could
it be? Honestly, how much hype could there be for
peanut butter? But toothpaste? No one's going anywhere near it.
Do you land your yan flavored eddle twelve? My name

(38:10):
is Marcus. Welcome, but a pushback from the ute owners. Well,
of course they would be, Marcus. Why are so many
of those big owners often tiny little people. All you
see is a small head peering over the dashboard. Goodness, Marcus,

(38:34):
Mike here from Raquino Island. We still use the wire
cage and sunlight souper dishes every night. Most forward ranger
drivers are hopeless at parking. I avoid them, Marcus. I
have Shirty Conrad's Superman book, given to me and my
brother on the eighties, but published in the seventies, full
of all sorts of household and life admint tips, including

(38:54):
how to be a working wife and mother. Leslie. I
always thought it was a good read. Actually, to be fair, Marcus,
I always save the tiny bits of soap you've done
from bars of soap. Does he know how to make
a bar of soap from these little bits? Is the
one making soap? I've never made soap, not yet. So

(39:19):
get fat, don't you, which always sounds unpleasant? Or kill
a whale and get whale blubber. Good luck with that, Marcus.
There used to be a laundry soap called sa don't
know if you can still get it. That's from Wayne Marcus.
I think it's pronounced lang lang, not yea lang yea lang.

(39:40):
I still use sunlight on shot shirt, collars and cuffs.
Remember landscape, it's not its use. What's landscape what you're
referring to there? Dan, I don't know, No, don't know.
It was the type of soap landscape. Mar I guess

(40:06):
the railway line between well Into and but Tony will
be a bit more vulnerable than used at the moment.
Is they are building the syc Away walkway and reinforcing
the waterfront on the seaside side of it. That's why
I knew they were doing something, So it must be
in the middle of preparations, is that right? Marcus would
be interested to know what people think of the new
BYD Sharkutes. You haven't got to report on those the

(40:31):
BYD Sharkutes. I'm not really a car person, but I
know that it's all going. It's turning Chinese. That's the
way cars are going. Why is it called a shark us.
It's not a good name, is it? BYD one point

(40:55):
five le? There's turbo charged, it's not electric, is it?

Speaker 6 (41:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:01):
I'm not really good on the cars, but someone might
have some input about that. Get in touch Heitel twelve
BYD terrible name for a car. It looks good how
much are they sixty nine ninety ic on road costs. Graham,

(41:26):
it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (41:26):
Welcome, Hi Marcus. I tried to get older you last
night about when you were talking about the golf courses
and it's just a little little thing, but it was
quite strange. I was over in Western Australia with my
brother in law and he was worked in the mines
and his mates worked in the mines and when they

(41:48):
come off work, they go to the golf course down
in Perth, I should say Perth, not far from the
casino where they had this golf course and it was
a little nine hole course and it's not there anymore,
the big Opus Sports Stadium is. Anyway, when I when

(42:12):
I went down there with me mates, with my brother
in law and his mates, we went in there and
I got some clubs and these guys come along and
they said, oh, well we have a box of balls.
So I said, what do you want a box of balls?
You know, it's not that bad, is it. And they said, well,

(42:32):
what we do is we work them and then if
we can't find him in this scrub, we're just leaving
it because there's snakes here.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
That's a good point. So they'd be terrifying. That would
be terrifying, wouldn't it, because snakes would like that kind
of brush that kind of come three years.

Speaker 11 (42:47):
That's right, And that's what I thought. I thought, well,
that's I'm out of here. I have one round of
golf and that was enough for me.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
And then you see a snake going past for the
hold like golf ball sized lumps down. It's torso well
you will worry about it, would you just get out
of the way of.

Speaker 11 (43:07):
Anyway? Anyway? Also, my wife she makes soap. She makes
it to do washing in in the washing machine.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
You've got to keep her there.

Speaker 11 (43:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But we had to go all
over the place. We had to get the cheese greater
so she could great the the soap that they have
to put into it. You know what's that yellow one you.

Speaker 19 (43:32):
Get in New Zealand there sunlight sunlight, that's right. You've
got a great dead up and you've got to put
other stuff with it, and then they put them in
and then she puts it in bottles and then you
you've got to dish it out and put it in
the washing machine. And I'm not allowed to do the
Washington anymore because I use what.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Does she make your own stuff?

Speaker 11 (43:53):
Why does she? Yeah, you tell me and we both
know what a lady thinks.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Why did you just buy soap powder?

Speaker 11 (44:03):
Well, that's what I do. But I get told off
about it.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Is she running some sort of fancy kit clothing wise?

Speaker 11 (44:12):
No, no, no, no, no, she's says she's hit green.

Speaker 12 (44:17):
Oh it's good. That's good, Graham, good please about that? Yeah, okay,
it environmentalist, good honor. She probably doesn't want the plaster containers, grand,
that's what she's probably cardboard distwatching.

Speaker 11 (44:29):
We think cardboard. I recycled the cardboard. I'm good at that.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
No, no, nothing wrong. Cardboard is one of the things
that can be recycled quite successfully. Cardboards like a super material.
I think like ninety four percent of it gets recycled.
If that's of interest to anyone, it's interest to me.

Speaker 8 (44:50):
Hi, Tony, Yeah, can I Marcus?

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I like your voice, Tony. Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 8 (44:58):
Yeah, yeah, I've change the subject about here.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (45:03):
The first of my Beckhams fifties, when we were at
primary school, the first of May was known as Smuggler's
Day and back then we'd all normally marbles was a
big thing to pay and people just walk along, pick
a marble up and say, First to My Smuggler's Day.
But it always stuck with me, and I don't know
whether it was just something around we.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Were I've never heard that that fascinates be more than
anything I've ever heard. First of May Smuggler's Day you
just take anything, do.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
You Well, that's what they used to do. Yeah, they're
just like, as I say, we'd normally be paying marbles
and they'd just grab a marble and say, first of
my smugglers Day?

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Where were you on the coast or summer old school?

Speaker 10 (45:47):
Where were you.

Speaker 8 (45:49):
Some Pius Teterbey?

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah, which bad to Tahibe? Did you say?

Speaker 10 (45:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (45:55):
Te Tahiba?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Yeah, okay, I don't know anything about it.

Speaker 8 (46:02):
Yeah, I just thought some other people heard of it.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Sort of stuff that trends positive with us, some old
style thing like that First of May Smuggler's Day. Oh,
I've run it up the flagpile and see what we
can find out, Tony. It'll always be that from us
for the future. First of Mayson, because what happened on
May one used to be all sorts of things. By
the fourth that star was day. First of May Smuggler's Day?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Loving that?

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Could someone tell me about that? Please? First of May
Smuggler's Day.

Speaker 9 (46:36):
Hi, Beth, how are you making?

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Oh? Good, Beth?

Speaker 13 (46:44):
I wanted to talk about sunlight soap. Late eighties early nineties,
the rights to sunlight soap got sold to Malaysia. It
used to be made in New Zealand, but when it
started being made in Malaysia, the soap was harder. I
think it's something to do with their watery and that's

(47:06):
when I stopped using sunlight soap.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Do you know where it was made in New Zealand?

Speaker 6 (47:12):
Bed?

Speaker 13 (47:13):
No, no idea.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I presume it's made near the freezing works. It's just
animal fat.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
Is it?

Speaker 13 (47:21):
Well? I assume linylin and the byproducts.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Is too much about soap, But it's fair. It's mainly fat,
isn't it.

Speaker 8 (47:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (47:31):
Well not the.

Speaker 13 (47:32):
Fat is then, because lenylin is like vesseline intensive tear
lotion on your skin.

Speaker 16 (47:44):
Yeah, what did you?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
What do you use instead of sunlight soap?

Speaker 10 (47:48):
Now?

Speaker 13 (47:51):
I now use Pears soap.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Oh, it's a great soap. Oh, it's wonderful, the soap
of Champions Pears soap. You never get away from that.

Speaker 13 (47:59):
Smell delicious, and lately I've been getting.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Classy looking bar too, almost see through in some ways,
isn't it?

Speaker 8 (48:08):
It is?

Speaker 13 (48:09):
It's Stree solution.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Very classy looking soaps have gone like Knights Castile and
Life Boy and all those old ones, and what happens
to them? You never see a bar of Life Boy.
I know any palmle of gold, don't wait to grow old,
use palmele of gold.

Speaker 13 (48:34):
Well, I suppose we're all moving onward and upward. I
think we're moving backward.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Yeah, we definitely are.

Speaker 13 (48:42):
Some of the old stole things. That's where it was at.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
What about that leather Imperial soap that's popular in that
cardboard packet? You'd like that too. That'd be a bit
of you, wouldn't it?

Speaker 11 (48:55):
Not for me?

Speaker 13 (48:56):
But I like a man who snows it that, you bitch,
you do good.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
On your bed jeeves. My grandmother made soap for years
nineteen fifties to nineteen eighties and cargole. She was too
mean to buy anythings she could, but her pies and
ginger biscuits were excellent. Don't wait to be told you
need palmel of gold. Don't forget the Isuzu d Max.

(49:24):
No problem parking. Got sick of navigating my small hatchback
around and over potholes or driving through roadworks. No longer
feel intimidated by the ranger attached to my rear. I'm
a woman who can't beck a trailers that got the
ute to take rubbish to the dump, to the dump,
to the dump, to the dump, dump dump. Oh, Marcus,
sand soap, not landscape, Apollo. I wondered what you're talking about, Mary,

(49:47):
Dan thought you might be to about landscape. The way
you held the bar like sideways as opposed to portrait.
I did wonder about that was self too for a
little bit. A lot of people putting vinegar in the
in the washing machine, which is kind of seems a
bit indecent to me. I've always feel a bit sketchy

(50:10):
about but what is vinegar? What is vinegar? Anyhow? Good evening, Lorrie.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Hi Marcus, Yeah, I think that lady.

Speaker 15 (50:23):
We did it.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
We got it wrong, saying that the sunlight was made
up in Malaya. The stuff you buy later now it's
actually Australian made, okay, And it's the Australian flag on
the packet now okay, which is suppose of claiming it
was first made in eighteen eighty four. But you have

(50:44):
Penthel Products limited in Drum and Road, Victoria, Australia. Yeah,
so I think she must have been fears of wrong
information somewhere along the line.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
And twist she still carried that kind of belief against
the Malaysians not to buy this.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
So yeah, that that's gracious.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
To worry about where you're buying your product. They wouldn't
be too worried about where your soape's coming from, would
you astray? Probably feed taking place to make soap?

Speaker 4 (51:11):
Yeah, well I prayed enough. The certainly got the Aussie
flag got prominent there. They're just touching on the car
park sizes. I did notice up on the around the
Gold Coast they use a double line up there on
the parking lote.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
That's the answer, a double line clearly.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Yeah, that's almost a meter wide or so.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Yeah, that's what you need because because it peck and save.
Now with everyone particularly in South of all the farmers
come to town to get them what they come to
town for it peck and save. You know, you pack
your card, you've got a ranger each side. You can't
get out.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's big sods I've seen on Facebook
they promote a little sort of gizmo for older people
to hook in the car door for climbing out of
the car.

Speaker 9 (52:03):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Yeah, we got one from Made of Ours. Seem to
work quite well.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
Understand what was going on, but yeah, and they say
in an emergency, you can always smash the window with
it as well.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Yes, that's right. Well have you even needed to smash
them out of a car?

Speaker 6 (52:17):
No?

Speaker 4 (52:17):
I haven't, I haven't. I still prefer the ride down windows.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that automatic.
I locked the kid in the car wanted just he
must have hit something and it was stuck at Queenstown
with him in the car, not knowing he was stuck
with a hot day. And I did try to smash
I did try to smash the the window where the
bricklet was good. It didn't didn't budge at all.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
It's pretty difficult.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
The emergency services came quite quickly and they took it
quite seriously.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
Sure, but it's going to be a sharp object. It
was sort of uh, seem to do the trick. All
of those little spring loaded things car converters.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Use one on my leather and tread which is a
bracelet has got one to smash a window car window
on it. But where would I go to test? And
I want to go to the wrecker's yard because I
don't know where you could test it.

Speaker 9 (53:10):
Here?

Speaker 4 (53:11):
Tell you what the it might be done at the
fire station of course. Quite often, and Order says they
the wreckers drop a few you know, cars down there
for the people so they can try out the old
jaws of life and stuff.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
I know, I don't want to talk professionally too, do
they do They get to a few.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
Fires, so, yeah, they get to a reasonable number, but
they do that. They do go to most car creatures,
serious ones.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Which makes a job a lot more a lot more real,
does it when you go it must be must be
quite hard for you emotionally to go to those fire
all those car accidents.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Yeah, but they also get called out these days for
you know, because the ambulance is sort of one person once. Now,
you know, when there's a real heavy person or body
they can't lift, they sort of get the vibra got
to come. Yeah, sometimes they've they've had a few where
they you know, the people are so big they can't
get them out of the door. They've got to sort
of smash the windows.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
But anyway, I didn't know the old wrecker has dropped
them off cars. It's interesting.

Here you go. What do you got soap? Making your
own soap? Soaping your own make Someone sent me a
letter Facebook post about Ford Rangers being recalled. Can't click

(56:58):
on it?

Speaker 11 (56:58):
Why not.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Halftime in the rugby league. I'm just going to see
the eye gouging. Uh text if you've got them, If
you've got any more weather updates, they're good to have.
We're talking soap. I don't know how we got onto it,
but that doesn't matter. Marcus. Our baby got locked in

(57:23):
the car once. What a pleasant experience that was. We're
going to Queens different cars and I went ahead with
one of the kids. I don't quite know why. And
I got there and yeah, he locked himself in the car.
And then of course Vanicea was about to arrive and say,
well is the kid locked in the car? Hard one
Brooks flame not what sure how it happened anyway, Yeah, jeepers,

(57:49):
stupid cars without keys and instant locks and things like that. Anyway, Marcus,
you should try angle parking in Napier when there's a
ute next to you backing out of the park as
a nightmare. You haven't mentioned the absolute monsters. I think

(58:10):
Sunlight soap was made by Lever Bros. And Potoni Ginny
Marcus have a cake of Sunlight soap in the bathroom
and one in the kitchen. Recently found nights Casteel so
but New World soup market made in Australia. Just have
a five dogs for five cakes. Sunlight soaps made in
Australia too. I use fifty to fifty white vinegar and

(58:33):
water for cleaning. Interesting show as usual kind regard to Jenny,
what about what was the soup that was the soap
that was green?

Speaker 13 (58:43):
Was that?

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Life boy? Marcus? Why you boom is still using cakes
of soap with cleaning products nowadays are liquified and plastic
bottles with pumps and sprays. It's tidier and more hygienic.
Well whatever, it's an absolute crime against the environment. All
those plastic containers people throw away. Give yourself an uppercut jake.
We don't having part of that kind of plastical gain.

(59:06):
They're extravaganza cheapest. The best thing you can do for
the plan is buy a cake of soap and give
up with those plunging dispenses. It's a wrapping crime, terrible thing.
Think about it, people. White vinegar can be used in

(59:27):
washing machine to soften clothes, brighten colors and move overs,
and even act as a stain remover. Its mildest city
breaks down a turgent resume, mineral deposits and other buildings.
Buillets who make fabrics feel scratchy because they for them
to lose their vibrancy, blowing a gale and lower hut
no power. Since five don't wait to be told use

(59:49):
parmele of gold. What will the other great soap jingles?
They seem to spend a lot of time advertising on
TV for brands if soaped it and they don't wait
to be told. Use pamel of gold alistair.

Speaker 9 (01:00:03):
Welcome, Arcis you're talking about soap tonight. Yes, I believe
soap contains all right. I got the name costic soda.

Speaker 15 (01:00:30):
And it's very severe.

Speaker 9 (01:00:33):
I use sunlight, blocks of cake sunlight, and it's very good.

Speaker 15 (01:00:42):
If you have a dry skin, you don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
It's the sunlight soap making your skin dry. You don't
think it could be the sunlight soap making your skin dry. No, No,
my shi A lot softer, not too soft.

Speaker 13 (01:01:03):
No.

Speaker 9 (01:01:04):
I work out in the garden, so it's not too shocked.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
You're in the garden now.

Speaker 9 (01:01:09):
No, No, when I do work in the garden.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
You got rain there?

Speaker 9 (01:01:14):
Yes, aunt oh enough, it was heavy last night, very windy.
The shark bnoon.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Allison, Thank you, Grigot's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Hey, I heard you're talking about soap and the things
that were in it. Soap is made by a reaction
between either a vegetable or animal fat and some sort
of hydrop do hydroxide like caustic soda or sodiu hydroxide.
In the old days. They used to react animal fat

(01:01:55):
with wood ash because it's very like animal fat.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah, okay, sorry, that's is the lie called to it
a lie, don't they.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Yeah, it's like it's lie is the is the is
the is the common name, but it's actually sodium hydroxide
is the chemical name, and some people call it caustic soda.

Speaker 6 (01:02:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
They use it for cleaning drains and also so we
used to use it years ago in a job I
worked in. It used to strip paint and oil and
all that sort of stuff. They use it for that
sort of thing as well. It's quite useful industrially. And
the different types of soap come from the different types
of oil, you know, like obviously animal fat is going

(01:02:39):
to give you a different type of soap to say
a vegetable fat or coconut oil or I heard one
of the callers earlier saying soap soap. But it's it's
it's a very very complex science. Let me tell you that.
I think the process is called estification or transvestification.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
There's a lot of the challenges, So there's a lot
of the challenges soap to mask the fat smell.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Yeah, yeah, well, I guess it depends on the quality
of the soap, because it's a chemical reaction, you know,
and if it's not if a if the reactions not
continue to completion, and then it may smell like the
fact that was that was reacted in the first place.

Speaker 8 (01:03:20):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Okay, good point, Greek, thank you, Hi Bell.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Margus.

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
I learned my trade at the butcher shop, Thompson's and Hastings,
and my old boss he used to make all the
soap for the butcher shop what we used, and we
used to rend it down the fat and he would
spend the whole afternoon making this. He used to make
a liquid soap and they put a wee bit of
scent in it and it used to be clean the

(01:03:53):
dishes and whatever put it as as he said, he
put clustic soda in it as well, and it was
It would have been the best soap you could ever find.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
Was that it a common but was it a commons
for butchers?

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (01:04:09):
Yes, well I'm going back into the fifties. Yes, as
I said, he used to do it about once every
three or four months. We'd do about seven or eight
big buckets full of and you know, it would never
go off, you know, with the with the postic soa
and what have you. And as I said, it was

(01:04:29):
you don't you need a little bit in the bucket.
It was always soft. It was sort of like a
liquid soap and you just dip your hand into it
and mix it in with water and be lovely and frothy.
And I'll tell you what clean anything.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Yeah, And he'd do that on a on a fire,
would he.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
I know, we used to render the fat down in
a big boiler and uh yeah. Or as I said,
he was an elderly man then he was in his seventies.

Speaker 16 (01:05:00):
Then that he was.

Speaker 7 (01:05:01):
He was a master butcher. He knew everything, you know.
And as I said, we've got a butcher up now.
And I still refer back to what he used to
what he ever taught me. He was a master of
He was a master butcher. And now they said, we
used to do everything and another thing. If there was
a hunker fat lay on the floor, he'd say, William,

(01:05:23):
pick up that sixpence, Or if there was a beats
here on the floor, he'd say, William, there's a penny
lin on the floor, could pick it up?

Speaker 11 (01:05:29):
Please? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Hey, So every form of fat would go and pull fat, mutton, fat,
be fat, would.

Speaker 7 (01:05:36):
All, yeah, yeah, we min mins it up and then
he said boil it down, and.

Speaker 10 (01:05:44):
No he was.

Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
He was a master at it. Yeah, a matter of fact. Uh,
I ended up getting the h spag out of the liquids.
It was quite common in the h spag and one
match of fat he done had got the German water
and all us butchers that you know, if you had
a little neck on your fingers. We ended up with

(01:06:08):
the h spake.

Speaker 16 (01:06:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Do you know what's the what's the H bags are?

Speaker 7 (01:06:14):
Well, it's it's sort of come into your bone and
your fingers. Yeah, I've got one of my figures is
a bit to formed now because.

Speaker 11 (01:06:23):
What I got.

Speaker 7 (01:06:24):
I ended up with the h bok. Took a while
clean it up.

Speaker 11 (01:06:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Well it sounds unpleasant because you talk so positive about
the even though yeah, yeah, well that's happened.

Speaker 7 (01:06:35):
But as I said, it's he used to make the
fat every the soap every every three months, you know,
but it was you. It'll clean anything, you know what
I mean, the concrete floors out the back where you
know where you're working. You get it back in a
nice soapy water and put it down with the broom

(01:06:56):
and come up lovely and clean?

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
Are you still on?

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Are you still on the knives Bill?

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
Did you say yeah, yeah, when my son's running the
shop now, I give my hand. But we've had out
to Show and Napier now for sixty years, still going strong. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
I left.

Speaker 7 (01:07:13):
When I left Thompson's, I went overseas and overseas Tripp
and came back and ended up buying this butchershop and
Napier and we've been there ever since.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Did you go into did you go into compet five?
Did you go in to competition with your old boss?

Speaker 6 (01:07:27):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
No, Well, he.

Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Retired when I gave him a hand to paint his
house just before I went to England, and he ended
up getting doman Titus and the he ended up with
where he used to scratch himself. He used to wash
himself with with the soap. He must have had too
strong a brew and he ended up with deam a

(01:07:52):
Titus and he ended up scratching a hole in his head.
I'll never again. And I went to see him, and
when I came back he had retired. Was a family butchershop,
but they carried on for about ten years after I
came back. I think, but it's all gone there Thompson's
Butchery and Hastings stopping.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
What's your uncle?

Speaker 11 (01:08:13):

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Down his city Butchery in Napier, the downer city.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
Down your city Butchery. Okay, yeah, but as I said,

busy as shop now as ever been. Well, did you
say he's doing a good job.

Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
There, Bill?

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):

Yeah, Well he used to scratch it all the time. Yeah, yeah,
and he ended up scratching a hold of his head. Yeah,
on the top of his head.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
An extraordinary story, Bill, Thank you very much for that.
A lot of people seem to be harboring old soap.
Marcus iaved my hand a free sample of Tricks Beauty
soap manufactured by McLeod Brothers, Dunedin and posted enveloped all
households of Daneeda. My mother pens on the back of
enveloped nineteen thirty seven envelopes his standard sized soape seventy
or bath size seventeen pence still smells beautiful. Postage was

(01:09:05):
paid an envelope, unopened edthing goes for the final hour. People.
If you want to be a part of it mainly soap.
Of course, there's no rugby league this weekend. It's all
on a Brisbane of the long weekend for Magic Round,
which I don't render it, but there's a bit a
good turnout for I'll tell you what to all credit
to Rugby League Australia. They've taken the women's match. Seriously,

(01:09:28):
I didn't think they would do that. But it's a
good watch and they're doing it well. Sterlo's commentating, Oh
no lockyer, what your lockyer is commentating and they're all there.
Wayne Bennett and the crowd a'l be the head of
the rugby leagues and the crowd. It's good. But New
South Wales are running away with US twenty six against twelve.

(01:09:50):
But yeah, good crowd for that. It's good to see
people turning up anyway. Good evening, Tracy Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:09:56):
Yeah, Hi, talk about Mercy's Lord to day I go,
I give it my George contacts me. She wants me
to come to us for a holiday, so they would
be lovely. I've just got to renew my passport, so
later in the day I went into the station rehouse
Stationary and got my photos taken. Now normally about twenty

(01:10:20):
five dollars, but because they've got something to do with
their computers, it was only ten and I thought, I'll
makes for one.

Speaker 11 (01:10:27):
It's great.

Speaker 18 (01:10:28):
So I get home later in the afternoon, I watched
the six o'clock eight end up putting up the price
of your applications for your passport tomorrow, right, So I'm like,
oh God. So then I go to go online to
look at it, and it's scheduled between nine pm tonight

(01:10:53):
and four am tomorrow morning to have maintenance on it. Yeah,
so then I think, okay, I'll rush and do it
right before this time. So I had got three hours.
And then, of course, because my photos were given to
me as photos, I couldn't upload them onto their website.

(01:11:16):
So theoretically the woman should have given them to me
an electronic form. Yeah, okay, So now tomorrow I'm going
to have to pay fifteen percent extra.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
So what's the passport cost gone from to Tracy?

Speaker 18 (01:11:32):
Yeah, I don't know. The children's one. I've forgotten what
Bess was, but for adults it's for reapplication two hundred
and fifteen to two hundred and forty seven.

Speaker 16 (01:11:42):
Okay, fifteen percent, so.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
You and children no notice.

Speaker 3 (01:11:48):
Have you got children as well?

Speaker 18 (01:11:50):
No, no, that's I said. I can't recall what the
children's was, but I would assume it would be fifteen
percent as well.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Could you have scanned your photos?

Speaker 8 (01:12:02):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:12:03):
No, you can't scan it, and you can't take yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
You can't smile.

Speaker 18 (01:12:08):
And I tried to know it's right, and I tried
to photograph the photos I had and get on the
right side, and it wouldn't accept them. So it's not
an easy thing to do. It's very particular about you
how you have to do it. But it's the fact
that they gave us no true notice. How is that?

Speaker 8 (01:12:31):
How is that to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Experience Tracy before you get Renty? How do you mean
they gave you not?

Speaker 6 (01:12:38):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
It wasn't just announced to that was going up in price?

Speaker 6 (01:12:40):
Was it?

Speaker 10 (01:12:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:12:42):
Today?

Speaker 16 (01:12:43):
Really?

Speaker 18 (01:12:44):
Now the earliest I can fined. And I don't listen
to Radio New Zealand. There was nine hours before so
that would have been about that have been about two o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Oh so they announced it today?

Speaker 15 (01:12:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:13:00):
Only today?

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Really?

Speaker 18 (01:13:02):
And again I've got this scheduled.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
I kind of I don't normally like it. I don't
normally like a moan and a red. But I think
you've got reason to be I think you've got reason
to be upset because it's not often they announce something
that's the same day and then close the website that
does seem tardy.

Speaker 10 (01:13:22):
There's shocking, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:13:24):
I agree, because I tried to do it today. So
my application is still saved on the internet on that
page where's your daughter?

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
When's your daughter? Want you to go across?

Speaker 18 (01:13:37):
About three weeks?

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Where is she?

Speaker 10 (01:13:42):
Melbourne?

Speaker 18 (01:13:44):
Yeah, it's lovely out of peninsula, so be really lovely.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
Do you think you'll get your pass in three weeks?

Speaker 18 (01:13:53):
I have no idea.

Speaker 10 (01:13:54):
I'm really hoping so no, because it's.

Speaker 18 (01:13:59):
Yeah, well a play for it tomorrow morning, after I
get hold of them getting to see my throw those electronically,
and then I'll apply. And then after after I've applied,
then I'll go back to internal Affairs and ask for
a refund on the money that I had to pay

(01:14:19):
extra to do it because the fact that they didn't
give us enough.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Dontus passport's taking? Dan to come? Then, just on the
phone stroke, Dan, you said something about I'm just trying
to find it. How long Dan? How long a passport's
taken to be delivered. I think it's a couple of
months these days. Tracy, No, yeah, true story.

Speaker 18 (01:14:46):
You're kidding.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
So you have to pay for you have to pay
for a fast passport costure King's rensom.

Speaker 18 (01:14:52):
It's four hundred and thirty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
Twenty working days at least.

Speaker 18 (01:14:57):
Twenty weeks. Can I do twenty rooting days?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
I don't think this holiday meant to be. What's the occasion.

Speaker 18 (01:15:09):
Oh, my daughter's just moved into her farm in the
house and just helping her.

Speaker 7 (01:15:15):
Really is she paying much?

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Is she shouting your trip?

Speaker 8 (01:15:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:15:22):
I haven't seen her for eight years. It's been really
awful because I've been really sick and hasn't been able
to get there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Oh, well, i'd be worried sick about your passport because
that's going to take forever.

Speaker 18 (01:15:34):
Well, my brother got to her from with that one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
That's different. Oh that's different your brother.

Speaker 18 (01:15:41):
Why you weren't my brother?

Speaker 11 (01:15:43):
Because he's whereas because it's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
Me current demand for the service connect time frames. Last week,
ninety one point two percent of passpords were issued within
one hundred working days. I'm joking. It says ten working days.

Speaker 8 (01:16:05):
Thanks you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
That's the only good news we've had a week with you,
isn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:16:11):
Yeah, it'll work, it'll work. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
But I think if I don't try, I don't get right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
You went smiling. You went smiling in the photo, were
you Tracy?

Speaker 18 (01:16:21):
No, No, I got it down professionally because you got
a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
I don't think you call it professionally when it's at
the warehouse.

Speaker 18 (01:16:29):
Well, it's a stationary warehouse.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
Who's taking the photo? Like the shop assistant? Yeah, okay,
I guess it's I guess it's professional in the model.
I guess it's professional in the modern world. Okay, Denise, Denise,
it's Marcus.

I'm spoke the other week about a Vietnam train trip
that goes the length of it.

Speaker 14 (01:17:14):
No, no, no, I'm doing a Chelsea Winter food foody trip.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
I love Chelsea Winter did food trips.

Speaker 14 (01:17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
She always looks so unstressed and recipes are so good.

Speaker 14 (01:17:28):
I'm just excited about going over there to try something different.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Does she know Vietnam? Chelsea?

Speaker 14 (01:17:35):
She goes around different countries. It's not you know, like
should be France and Italy and things like that. But
I sort of just promised myself as a retirement present
that I would do one of her trips and it
came up. It's coming up at the end of November.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
And I reckon she because some of those people go
on those trips and they wreck out. The people that
said to be lovely are terrible. But I reckon Chelsea
is going to be like she is. I think she's
going to be recare free, relaxed and a lovely person.

Speaker 14 (01:18:05):
I would say too, it looks after a kid's no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
